ON-LINE METHODS IN CHILDRENS LANGUAGE PROCESSING (ChildLang)
Venue: The Graduate School and University Center, CUNY
Location: New York, New York, United States
|Event Date/Time: Mar 21, 2006
|End Date/Time: Mar 22, 2006
|Registration Date: Mar 01, 2006
|Abstract Submission Date: Dec 15, 2005
March 21-22, 2006
CUNY Graduate Center; 365 Fifth Avenue; New York, NY
A substantial body of work examines on-line language processing in adults, yet very little is known about how children coordinate linguistic and non-linguistic information to arrive at sentence meaning. Understanding how children process language, in real time, is necessary for building comprehensive theories about language acquisition. This workshop is the first scientific gathering specifically dedicated to a new field of research that explores such issues, experimental developmental psycholinguistics. This workshop provides a forum in which scholars from different areas of expertise (psycholinguistics, language acquisition, and cognitive neuroscience), particularly those interested in applying on-line methods to study children's language processing, will discuss how current and developing empirical approaches can inform about language processing mechanisms in children.
The workshop focuses on on-line methods to investigate children's language processing mechanisms, including (a) behavioral methods (reaction-time tasks) such as monitoring, probe/prime latencies, and self-paced reading, (b) free-viewing eye-tracking, (c) electrophysiological measures such as brain event-related potentials (ERPs), and (d) functional neuroimaging. A separate panel of the workshop will be dedicated to each of the four methods, introduced by an invited talk and followed by four other talks chosen from submitted abstracts.
This workshop is funded by the National Science Foundation.
Susan Bookheimer (UCLA): Functional neuroimaging
Helen Cairns (CUNY): On-line methods in children's language processing: Looking into the future
Harald Clahsen (University of Essex): Behavioral methods
Angela Friederici (Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences): Electrophysiological methods
John Trueswell (University of Pennsylvania): Free-viewing eye-tracking
We are soliciting abstracts for paper or poster presentations, on new and original research in experimental developmental psycholinguistics using on-line methods to study child language processing. Topics from any aspect of child language processing are welcome, ranging from the development and operation of mechanisms for sound perception and production to the development and operation of mechanisms for higher-level discourse processing. Abstracts from junior scholars are especially encouraged.
Abstracts should not exceed 450 words. Submissions are restricted to 1 individual and 1 joint abstract per author. A system for electronic abstract submission is currently under construction, but will be made available from this page.
Deadline for abstract submissions: December 15, 2005
Notification of acceptance: February 1, 2006
Travel grants will be awarded to graduate student presenters.
Invited papers and a selection of the submitted papers from the workshop will be published in a volume tentatively titled On-Line Methods in Child Language Processing.

Hailing from the college party town of Chico, California, Cory decided to attend Cal Poly and major in Nutrition, especially its effects on sports performance. Cory was a baseball player all of his youth and through High School. He always had a strong determination to be in the best shape for the start of each baseball season which ultimately sparked his interest in sport specific conditioning and nutrition.
During his time at Cal Poly he worked as an Exercise Room Assistant at the Cal Poly Rec Center and loved the various types of people he would come across in that fitness setting, (young athletes to retired faculty). Cory enjoys following the sport of bodybuilding and fitness contests and wrote his senior project on Creatine Supplementation and Athletic Performance.
He loves helping people reach their goals and being a positive influence in their life. He also likes staying active and playing softball to scratch that baseball itch. Cory believes in hard work and a consistent nutrition program to get fitness results and he's ready to help people achieve that.

Angela grew up loving the sun and the sand in Ventura County, CA. Her interest in an active lifestyle began at an early age when, due to excess energy as a child, she was enrolled in gymnastics and progressed through the competitive levels for nine years. It was after this sport career (& the injuries that came with it) that she became interested in the world of personal training, athletic training and physical therapy & found her way into Cal Poly.
She thrived in the Kinesiology program and truly developed a love for all things exercise and movement related. She concurrently did internships in both the strength and conditioning room for Cal Poly athletics and here at Athlon Elite. Guess which one she liked best… She graduated with her bachelors in Kinesiology and a minor in Sports Nutrition in 2011 and quickly began moving up the ranks here at Athlon, eventually becoming an ACSM Certified Personal Trainer and a Senior Trainer here at Athlon.
Angela is the "jack of all trades" here at Athlon. On any given day you'll see her training clients, answering phones, and giving sales tours! She loves creating new and exciting ways to make exercise fun, and likes to think of her enthusiasm for fitness as contagious. She is incredibly curious of peoples' likes and dislikes inside and outside of the gym and strives to be friendly and approachable. So if you spot her in the gym, feel free to seek her out for any sort of exercise advice, nutritional counseling or just a good old fashion chit chat!

Jasmine was born in Brooklyn, New York and raised in Urbana, Ohio. Sports and fitness have been a part of her life from a very young age. At the age of two, her mother placed her in gymnastics after observing her doing a perfect cartwheel to pick up her toys. Jasmine pursued a gymnastics career for over fourteen years competing all over the country.
Along with gymnastics, Jasmine was also very active in the sport of track and field. During her sophomore year of high school, she decided to make track and field her sport of choice and retired her gymnastics leotard. Jasmine competed as a long jumper/triple jumper and sprinter while in high school. During her high school career, she became the long jump state champion as well as the school record holder in the long jump. Her senior year she was approached by Cal Poly's track and field program. Jasmine received a full scholarship to Cal Poly in 2007 where she competed on its division 1 track and field team. She earned the title of 2-time All-American in the triple jump throughout her time at Cal Poly. Jasmine has continued pursuing her triple jump career as a post collegiate athlete. She currently trains with her previous college coach in hopes of competing in the 2016 summer Olympic games as an American triple jumper in Brazil.
During her time at Cal Poly, Jasmine majored in Kinesiology. She loved the kinesiology department and was able to relate so much of what she learned in the class room to her everyday life, especially her athletic side. She planned to go to Physician Assistant school after graduating Cal Poly, however, after working in a physical therapy clinic for a while her plans changed. It was there in the physical therapy environment that Jasmine found a love for physical therapy and personal training. The idea of taking an individual who was injured or had been injured and providing them with an exercise program that allowed them to get back to their activity of choice really resignated with her. She became certified as a strength and conditioning specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association in hopes of training individuals using many of the injury prevention and rehabilitation methods in physical therapy.
In 2016, Jasmine became a member of the Athlon Elite personal training family. Jasmine is very excited to be a part of the Athlon team. She looks forward to working with her clients each day and helping them reach the goals they have set for themselves. Jasmine strives to get to know every person she trains and works hard to create an atmosphere where each individual feels safe and encouraged. When Jasmine isn't training at Athlon, she loves to spend her time writing and playing music and of course riding her unicycle! Ask her about the "power of the one wheel"!

Mike was born in Walnut Creek, CA, but spent the majority of his childhood in Beijing, China where he attended the International School of Beijing (ISB). Mike's athletic potential was evident early on when he won ISB's annual Terry Fox Run (10 years in a row)! By high school Mike was a multi-sport varsity competitor in Track, Soccer, and Swimming, (and team captain of both the Soccer and Swimming teams).
After graduating ISB, Mike moved back to the East Bay where he attended Diablo Valley College and competed in both Track as an 800M sprinter, and Swimming in the 50m free, 100 fly, and 200 IM. Unfortunately, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome put an end to Mike's athletic career, but it inspired him to focus his education on exercise science to learn more about the human body and help others achieve their peak fitness potential.
He transferred to Cal Poly in 2012 to complete a degree in Kinesiology. As he worked toward that degree he started his personal training career at the Cal Poly Rec Center helping students and faculty reach their fitness goals. Soon after graduating Cal Poly he completed Athlon's internship program to continue honing his craft and developing his career. We quickly recognized Mike's skills and potential and hired him to continue adding to Athlon's reputation as having a highly educated and experienced coaching team, capable of working with clients from all walks of life...
In his spare time Mike (of course) likes to perform extra credit sets and reps ;-), as well as play soccer and swim.

I can send you the test program (I don't think it is interesting enough to send it to the list...)
Can you send me a tarball with source and a Makefile?

That seems to improve things a lot! I couldn't crash the system with the ldbm-backend anymore if I apply that patch. I even get answers to all the requests :-). I'll try our backends on monday.
Shouldn't the maximum number of concurrent be a configurable parameter?
This might already be started. Anyway, I'll look into it.

Parma, pasta and that latteBy Riverine Herald
IT'S not that the good folk of the Caledonian Hotel don't want you to tarry a while; it's just that they can't help themselves at continually improving the overall experience for customers.
It started with Latte Lane for drive through coffees (with tasty extras such as muffins and toasties).
Now it has expanded to a full-blown, seven day a week drive through with the Cal's famous parmas and pastas heading the menu.
And if you were wondering what a drive-through parma does taste like, this weekend if you have a coupon out of the Riverine Herald you can get yours for just $10.
The coupon deal is only good for Friday, Saturday and Sunday so you will need to get cracking to get your cut-price parma (today's coupon appears on page 7).
The Cal's Dave Cunningham said the drive through opens at 5.30pm and goes until the last parma (and/or pasta) has been sold.
Or until they decided they have had enough and they pack up and go home.
"Probably best just to say 'open until late'," Dave added.
"Latte Lane has been a great success for the business and, we hope, for the people of Echuca-Moama as well," he said.
"And while it will still be the same drive through it will be Latte Lane during the day and Parma Lane after 5.30pm."
Dave said they were running the cut-price coupon deal to celebrate the service going seven days after its soft launch for just a few days every week.
He said they had three varieties of parmas on board and a range of pastas – something to suit every palate.
"After the coupon deal closes we will replace it with a $50 family deal," Dave said.
"There's no need to phone ahead, just turn up, drive through and start eating," he said.
"But if you have dietary requirements, we can, for example provide a gluten free meal, then a quick call to give us a heads up would be great."
So if you are feeling particularly peckish for parma — or for pasta, — call the Cal on 5482 2100.

Norway & Sweden In Winter 2011
I spent February 2011 riding 1,600km through Norway and Sweden, from Oslo to the Arctic Circle and beyond. Taking on a solo bike trip in a fairly chilly land – with temperatures down to -33°C – proved to be a fascinating, challenging and fulfilling experience.
Watch this 2-minute video to get a taste of what it felt like:
I wanted to experiment and develop my photography, so I published a blog and pictures every day on the road, which proved really successful, if exhausting and time-consuming. You can follow this 'live' journal here from the top, or see some facts & figures if that's your thing.
Thanks to Schwalbe for providing a set of incredible Ice Spiker Pro tyres for this trip. I was riding on sheet ice and hard-packed snow for almost the entire journey – Scandinavian roads aren't salted since salt doesn't do anything below -5°C. I fell off only once (which was my own fault for not looking where I was going).
Thanks also to Extrawheel for a modified prototype of their Voyager trailer with extra ground clearance – it worked, as always, like a charm.

Having steadily built their reputation on the live circuit as one of the UK country scene's most dynamic duos, prompting comparisons to Fleetwood Mac and Striking Matches, Luke & Mel's 2016 has already proved to be their most successful to date. A fan favorite at Country2Country, they spent the end of April supporting Jess & The Bandits on their UK tour, while simultaneously winning hearts across the country with their new double A-side Bad Habit / Somethin' About A Woman, which has seen them receive support from BBC Regional, Bauer Regional, Amazing and Chris Country.
Following the huge support for the single, the duo are thrilled that leading US publication Taste of Country have today exclusively premiered the music video for Bad Habit. With comparisons to both Striking Matches and Miranda Lambert, the duo are excited to have the video cast their net wider.
With Bad Habit peaking at #4 on the iTunes chart, the duo announced a London show when they paid Gaby Roslin a visit at BBC Radio London last weekend. This morning they are excited to announce that they shall be undertaking a UK Tour with Gary Quinn and special guests, which kicks off in Newcastle on September 5th and visits Glasgow, Manchester and London.
With a busy summer ahead, they are also excited to hit the festival circuit once again this year, with performances at FSA Fest, Rock Ridge Roundup, TowerFest, Buckle and Boots and Dart Music Festival, the duo are currently building towards the a deluxe edition release of their award winning debut EP to coincide with the tour.

Nine goes easy on The Voice
Channel Nine is unlikely to push a second series of The Voice into this year's schedule, despite speculation it will try to capitalise on the record ratings the show is delivering. Nine has also resisted supersizing the series - that is, ordering more hours a week from production company Shine. The move will surprise many, as Nine has form for working successful programs hard. A second series was confirmed the morning the first delivered more than 2 million viewers, numbers the battered network has not seen since it was toppled from the top of the ratings ladder by Channel Seven. The show's buzz-generating ''blind auditions'' finished last week and the ''battle rounds'' begin tonight, with the four judges joined by consulting mentors Megan Washington, Darren Hayes, Ricki-Lee Coulter and Benji Madden.
Price check
Former Big Brother contestant Brodie Young will feature on Seven's new iteration of The Price is Right, providing the voice for its iconic catchphrase ''Come on down!''. Seven says Young will also have an on-screen role. Seven launches the updated version of the show next Monday in the 5pm timeslot. Larry Emdur, who hosted two versions of the show between 1993 and 2005, returns as host. He remains host of Seven's The Morning Show.
King hit
Australian reality series Kings Cross ER has been sold to the US channel Discovery. The deal is a huge windfall for Australian production company Eyeworks Australia, run by former Nine executive John McAvoy. Foxtel launched the 10-part series on its Crime & Investigation channel in February. Eyeworks also produces Kalgoorlie Cops for the channel and is filming a spinoff, Territory Cops, in the Northern Territory.
Minchin's musical role
Australian musician-actor-comedian Tim Minchin has been signed to a role in the US comedy Californication. Minchin will play rock star Atticus Fetch, described by US website Deadline as ''Bowie, Bono and Lennon all rolled up into one''. His storyline will involve working with Hank Moody (David Duchovny) on the Broadway musical based on his book.
X marks spot for auditions
Production starts this week on the new season of The X Factor with auditions in Melbourne, followed by the Gold Coast and Sydney. It will be the third season for Seven. All four judges - Ronan Keating, Melanie Brown, Natalie Bassingthwaighte and Guy Sebastian - will return, as will the show's host, Luke Jacobz. Seven has not set an airdate for the show but it will likely land after Nine's The Voice has concluded, sparing it the ratings pummelling its stablemate Australia's Got Talent has taken. Last year's runner-up, Johnny Ruffo, is now starring on Seven's Dancing with the Stars.
Double dose of drama
Revenge stars Emily VanCamp and Josh Bowman kick off an Australian press tour for Seven today. The duo, who are romantically involved on and off screen, play vengeful Emily Thorne and wealthy playboy Daniel Grayson. (For those unfamiliar with the show, it's his wealthy family Emily is hoping to destroy.) The series has been a top-rating performer for Seven, launching to 2 million viewers and holding 1.5 million against a regenerated Nine. Seven will screen two episodes of Revenge this week - on Monday and Wednesday at 8.30pm.

Maputo, Mozambique—Health care workers like Eleutéria Jaime face a dual challenge in the fight against tuberculosis. Their clients are often suffering from HIV, the virus that causes AIDS; of all TB patients in Mozambique, 61 percent test positive for HIV. And for HIV-positive patients, TB is a leading cause of death.
That means Jaime and her colleagues at the Rural Hospital of Chicumbane—located in an area of the country with the highest prevalence of HIV (25.1 percent)—must be ever-vigilant in making sure their patients take their medicines and stick to their treatment regimen, which takes at least six months. She also cares for patients who are difficult to treat because they have multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB), a particularly stubborn form of TB that is resistant to standard antibiotics.
Despite these challenges, the Government of Mozambique, with support from Jhpiego and the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), has embarked on a five-year national plan for TB infection control. As part of this initiative, Jhpiego helped lay the groundwork for the national program by reviewing standards of care and local infection control policies at 30 health care facilities in three provinces. Jhpiego's assessment found that few facilities had TB infection control policies, and even where policies existed, health workers knew little about how to prevent or control TB. These findings helped inform guidelines and practices for the TB Infection Control National Policy, which was signed by the Minister of Health earlier this year.
Following that seminal work, Jhpiego and partners set out to help Mozambique implement its campaign to stop TB. Jhpiego has led efforts to prepare workers and facilities across the health system to carry out the national plan, improve detection of TB, address challenges associated with treating patients with MDR-TB and promote proper "cough etiquette" and other TB prevention behavior in clinics and health centers.
To build and strengthen a TB-competent work force, Jhpiego has helped educate more than 200 health care workers in infection control and prevention strategies. Jaime was among them, and, she says, she is now better able to serve her clients and to reinforce the often simple measures that help prevent the spread of TB—for example, covering one's mouth when coughing and keeping windows open in patient areas to circulate the air.
"I did not have much idea about the issues relating to TB-MDR and TB transmission and infection control," said Jaime. "I was really pleased to be able to learn more about these issues and how I could motivate my patients to keep fighting TB, how I could protect myself and the patients and their families from TB transmission. It helped me to provide better care and instructions to the patient on cough etiquette and infection control both while in the hospital and at home."
Every year, more than 7,000 Mozambicans die as a result of TB. Residents who are HIV-positive are more vulnerable to the threat of TB, and in a country with an HIV prevalence rate of 11.5 percent among adults, the challenge of containing that threat is great. The Ministry of Health (MOH) is focused on strengthening health services to avert the spread of TB and provide improved care to its people. One of the key strategies to fight TB is the implementation of collaborative HIV/TB activities.
"The National [TBIC] Plan is crucial to guide the activities to be implemented to control TB transmission in Health Care Units and group settings,'' said Dr. Alexandre Manguele, Mozambique's Minister of Health. "We hope therefore to be able to guarantee safer and healthier health care facilities and services for all Mozambicans."
From promoting cough etiquette in small rural health facilities to establishing strong TB and general infection control policies in hospitals, Jhpiego is partnering with Mozambican organizations to share evidence-based practices and strategies to strengthen health care and protect health care providers where they work.
Red Cross Mozambique is one of the front-line organizations working to prevent and control TB in the community, especially in remote areas where access to health facilities is more difficult. Red Cross volunteers play an active role in supporting the MOH with its community TB-DOTS (Directly Observed Therapy Short-Course) strategy, which includes a focus on having a friend or relative watch and support a TB patient in taking his or her medicine properly. But many volunteers did not know how to protect themselves and the community against TB infection. Nor were they fully confident about dealing with MDR-TB clients.
Last fall, at the request of the MOH and the World Health Organization, Jhpiego supported TB infection control training for 22 Red Cross medical officers. This training covered twin challenges—treating persons with HIV, or those with MDR-TB. A majority of these medical officers manage 139 field supervisors, who in turn train and oversee 1,404 volunteers working in the 11 provinces of Mozambique. Last year, these Red Cross volunteers reached 62,227 families with updated information on TB prevention and control.
"After the training, I was confident to teach the volunteers about TB/HIV issues, adherence to treatment importance and how to motivate clients, the risks of multidrug-resistant TB and how to protect themselves and their clients against TB transmission," said Celeste Langa, a supervisor with the Red Cross. "I feel privileged and I am happy to hear that people in Jhpiego are concerned with the TB and TB-MDR challenge we face in our country, especially in my province Maputo."

Photo of Foundations of Christian School Education from Amazon.com
Foundations of Christian School Education is an excellent and essential book to develop a philosophy of Christian education, which is a crucial undertaking for every Christian educator. This book explores a diversity of perspectives on Christian education and teaching and was written by many authors with a wide variety of experiences and viewpoints of Christian education. Foundations of Christian School Education was edited by James Braley, Jack Layman, and Ray White and has contributions by over 16 other authors, providing a myriad of insights on Christian education.
Foundations of Christian School Education begins by exploring Biblical and philosophical foundations of Christian Education. This first section has the same title as its subject matter, Biblical and Philosophical Foundations. In this first section of the book there is an important introduction to philosophy by Paul Spears, Introduction to Philosophy, which sets the stage for exploring the need and the function of a Christian philosophy of education. Next, Jack Layman looks at the Early History of Educational Philosophy, which lays the groundwork for correctly thinking about education from an accurate historical perspective. Then, Jack Layman explores Modern Educational Philosophies, which have shaped educators and education, as we know it. From here, Kenneth O. Gangel constructs the groundwork for Biblical foundations of education in Biblical Foundations of Education. In conclusion of the first section of the book, Richard J. Edlin navigates us through Core Beliefs and Values of a Christian Philosophy of Education.
In looking more closely at the first part of the first section, an Introduction to Philosophy, we see the foundation of a Christian school education is the truth of Jesus Christ and His Word. The importance of this solid foundation in Christian education cannot be over emphasized. In the beginning of Foundations of Christian School Education, this is clearly stated, "We must identify our core beliefs and values, and we must reiterate our philosophical and biblical foundations (p. 1)." It is this Biblical foundation that sets the Christian school apart and makes Christian education different from other philosophies of education.
Paul Spears notes the importance of having and understanding a philosophy of education in chapter one, Introduction to Philosophy, when he says, "Ideas about education are grounded in foundational beliefs that construct how humans interact with reality." Our worldview shapes what we believe, how we live our lives and how we teach. As stated at the beginning of chapter one, "Philosophy examines what underlying commitments we make regarding our beliefs and how our views come to be understood as knowledge, the concepts that form our worldview (p. 5)."
While many Christians resist the idea of philosophy and see it as contrary to scripture, taking Colossians 2:8 out of context, it is invaluable to develop and maintain a Christian Philosophy of education. Christianity, as Paul Spears points out in Chapter one, deals with major life topics, questions and issues surrounding and including metaphysics, logic, aesthetics, ethics, and epistemology. Biblical truth addresses these philosophical topics and they are not contrary to what we believe as Christians and what we should teach as Christian educators. As is stated at the close of chapter one, "We as educators endeavor to teach our students truth, and philosophy endeavors to equip us with the proper tools to do so (p. 15)."
The second section of Foundations of Christian School Education, Psychological Foundations, addresses human growth and development and the way this shapes the learner and forms the tactics and methodologies of the educator. Gloria Goris Stronks begins the first section of Psychological Foundations by examining The Nature of the Learner. Barbara Bode follows up with The Nature of Learning. Next, W. Philip Bassett and Eddie K. Baumann look at the all-important topic of Teaching Methodologies. Section two of the book concludes with The Teacher, by Ellen Lowrie Black, and investigates the multitude of important roles that the teacher plays in education. These roles include spiritual leadership, Biblical role model, reflection of Christ, mentor, and academic leader. This vital chapter concludes by stressing the importance of a commitment to learning, the characteristics of effective teachers and the very helpful section listing the common mistakes of beginning teachers.
In the chapter on Teaching Methodologies, Philip Bassett and Eddie K. Baumann look at the all-important topic of teaching methods. In this chapter the authors stress the importance of varying teaching techniques and methods and not using "the same tool" for every "job," but the "right tool for the right job." The authors say, "Like good carpenters, expert teachers possess a number of tools, are competent in their use, and select those that are best designed for the particular tasks that need to be accomplished (p. 141)."
The third section of Foundations of Christian School Education, Instructional Foundations, looks at the process of teaching through looking at teaching philosophy. In the chapter on Instructional Philosophy, by Marti MacCullough, teaching philosophy is the focus. Curriculum is the main topic in the chapter on Understanding Curriculum Design, by Harro Van Brummelen. Assessments are addressed in the chapter called Christian School Assessment: Philosophy and Practice chapter, by Timothy L Heaton and Brian Coon. Character development is the topic of focus in the chapter on Moral and Character Development, by Milton V. Uecker. And lastly, discipline is addressed in the chapter Discipline: Philosophy and Practice, by Jerry L Haddock.
In the chapter on Moral and Character Development, by Milton V. Uecker, the important issue of morality and character, which is often neglected by other philosophies of education, is addressed with some detail. As Christian educators, we are to make a commitment to the goal of spiritual formation in our students. It is not enough to stop at conversion. The Christian must be growing and developing in his or her relationship with Christ and this includes moral and character development. As stated in this chapter, "For the Christian school, moral and character education is inseparable from spiritual formation. The goal of Biblical instruction is always a changed learner (p. 224)." Milton V. Uecker also makes the case that we must understand affective development, articulate affective standards, describe character, create a caring community, provide a moral community, allow opportunity for moral action, make learning meaningful, facilitate critical thinking, provide time for personal growth, and consistently evaluate character education in our schools.
The fourth and last section of Foundations of Christian School Education, Cultural and Sociological Foundations, considers education from a cultural and sociological perspective. The first chapter in this section, Understanding Cultural Context, by Daniel J. Egeler, stresses the need to understand the cultural contexts of education. In the next part of section four, Exceptional Students in Christian Schools, by Sharon R. Berry, the very important topic of addressing students with disabilities and special needs is discussed with solid details and suggestions for accommodations and aid. Berry stresses our responsibility as Christian Educators to these students. In Urban Schools: A Christian Philosophy That Impacts Culture, by Vernard T. Grant, Grant looks at urbanization, poverty, and economics, which shape and effect education in the "urban environment." Next, Philip M. Renicks considers international schools in International Christian Schools. In the last part of the fourth section, James W. Braley looks at Training World Christians.
In the second to the last chapter of Foundations of Christian School Education, International Christian Schools, Philip M. Renicks looks at international Christian schools and the benefits they promote through offering schooling to missionary kids abroad. This rich history of schooling is over 150 years old and has provided missionaries the opportunity to keep their families together while in the field. As mentioned in the chapter, "[The] vision for keeping missionaries' children on the field cannot be over emphasized (p. 310)." Also in this segment, Renicks talks about the international Christian school whose primary goal is serving the international community. "The international Christian school is often found in major cities that have a large concentration of international families (p. 311)." The chapter concludes with an emphasis on the value of faith-based education stating, "Faith-based education has become an effective tool for reaching other cultures for Christ (p. 313)."
The last chapter of Foundations of Christian School Education, Training World Christians, by James W. Braley, closes by summing up the purpose of the book and "four important foundations for Christian school education—philosophical, psychological, instructional, and cultural/sociological—all built on the foundation of Jesus Christ and God's truth (p. 319)." Braley asserts that most Christian schools can develop "self-centered believers" (p. 320), but the task at hand is to develop "World Christians" and not "Worldly Christians." "[This] is an awesome task, but the Christian school is in the position of presenting ministry in such a way that the Holy Spirit can reach into the hearts and lives of young Christians and call them to a life of service. It is the Christian school's spiritual mandate and challenge (p. 330)."
Foundations of Christian School Education is a great read, especially for teachers just starting out in Christian education who are developing a philosophy of Christian education. This book comes highly recommended and is a very practical tool to work on both hard skills for teaching as well as the philosophical, psychological, instructional and cultural/sociological aspects of Christian education.
This book review has also been published on Amazon.com, Goodreads, and examiner.com.

Image: An Asymmetric Tetrahedron with Prime Numbered Edge Lengths
We are all familiar with the Regular Tetrahedron. It has six edges of equal length and four faces that are equilateral triangles. An Asymmetric Tetrahedron has edges of different length, and triangular faces of different shape and size. Asymmetric Tetrahedra are interesting because of symmetry and the combinations in which the edges can be arranged to construct a three dimensional solid. An Asymmetric Tetrahedron has no symmetry of its own, but it does have a mirror image solid that is otherwise identical, like its reflection in a mirror. This has applications in Chiral Chemistry, e.g. in a molecule where bonded atoms define the four different corners of the tetrahedron.
There are various ways to make a tetrahedron. You can construct one from six rods attached at their end points, or from four triangular sheets. I use four triangles drawn on a single sheet of paper. I apply the method of Compass and Straightedge Construction to create matching triangles. I use the free Geogebra software. Circles are drawn with radii equal to the edge lengths, and the corners of the triangles are defined by the intersections of these circles. I set the circles as hidden before printing the template. Only the outlines of the four triangles are printed. You don't need a computer to do this. You could easily draw the templates on a sheet of paper or card using a pair of compasses and a ruler. Experiment to find the best fit of your construction to the page, for minimum waste.
I became interested in asymmetric tetrahedra that have integer length edges. When you define limitations on a mathematics problem, it often makes the problem more interesting. The relative edge lengths can be sequential, e.g. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. There are four different tetrahedra with these edge lengths. I drew templates for two of them. They are distinct, containing triangles of side 4,5,7 and 4,6,7 respectively. The other two are mirror image solids, which can be made by folding the templates inside out. The tetrahedron containing the 4,6,7 triangle is drawn as two pieces to best fit on an A4 or US Letter size page. I separated the 3,5,7 triangle and rotated it about 90 degrees to the right. You may experiment with scaling to print the largest template that fits on a page, or set to inch scale so that the edges can be easily measured. To save ink or toner during printing, don't fill the triangles with colour. I haven't printed any of these templates yet. It is clear that they will fold into tetrahedrons from the arrangement of the constructive circles, which link edges of equal length.
My ideas about asymmetric tetrahedra have very little novelty. The related topic of Integer Triangles has been studied for millennia. They could easily be constructed from lengths of string with equidistant knots, i.e. Stone Age technology.
Application of such shapes is unlimited. The proportions of the 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 tetrahedron would make a tent for camping, with the largest triangle being the groundsheet and the smallest triangle as the door flap. It could be framed from six 2 foot poles and five 3 foot poles. The outer fly-sheet could be made as another tetrahedron by adding one foot to each edge length.
I wondered if a tetrahedron could be constructed from edges with lengths that are sequential prime numbers. The image above shows a paper template that folds into a tetrahedron that has relative edge lengths which are prime numbers: 3, 5, 7, 11, 13 and 17. The smallest face (filled black) is a triangle of sides 3, 5, and 7. When folded, this triangle meets the dark blue and light grey triangles to form a tetrahedron. The light grey and dark blue triangles fold, to meet along the edge of length 13. (The dark blue triangle is the upper one in the diagram.) Before cutting out the template, draw tabs around the perimeter edges, for gluing the paper shape together.
This is the smallest asymmetric tetrahedron from the sequence of prime numbers, and is only possible in one configuration, plus its mirror image. If the smallest triangle is the base, the apex would not be above the base. If the centre of gravity is not above the base, it would fall over. If using prime lengthed edges, the centimetre unit is convenient for templates that will fit on a page. You could also make this tetrahedron from drinking straws with prime numbered length, cutting the shortest straw to 3/17th of full length.
Not all sequences of prime numbers can be used to define a tetrahedron. The three primes 2,3,5 cannot form the sides of a triangle, so there is no tetrahedron with edge lengths 2,3,5,7,11,13. There is no triangle with side lengths that are numbers from the Fibonacci sequence. Another sequence that works is "Numbers n such that 2n-1 is prime", https://oeis.org/A006254. I didn't discover any magic properties arising from using prime numbered edge lengths. You could use any system of your own to select edge lengths, and they don't have to be integers.
The templates are free to download from the geometry resource site I2Geo.net. http://i2geo.net/xwiki/bin/view/Search/Simple?terms=Asymmetric+Tetrahedron
There are six files, three Geogebra files and three corresponding PNG image files. Load the 'ggb' files in Geogebra to see the circles that I used to construct the triangles. The files are my own work and I release them as public domain. One way to print the files is to insert the PNG images into a word processing document, scaling the image and minimising margins for efficient use of the paper.
Further development is limited only by your students' imaginations. There may be applications too. I suggest tiling of a surface, such as the wall of an anechoic chamber, with a random pattern of asymmetric tetrahedra. How could these shapes be used as building blocks in a three-dimensional construction? An abstract animal-like bilaterally symmetric shape could be assembled from the tetrahedrons and their mirror images. Another method of space filling is that sheet-based and rod-based tetrahedra could be mixed. Make a core asymmetric tetrahedron from triangular sheets. Then surround it by its four mirror images, made out of drinking straws. Only 12 rods would be required, as the core provides four base triangles. These are only suggestions. There are no rules, except those you make yourself, and those you discover from the inherent mathematics.
I was inspired to create these geometry templates by Dr. Diana S. Perdue's discussion "Request for applications on a math problem" in the LinkedIn group "Math, Math Education, Math Culture".
I would also like to thank Dr. Linda Fahlberg-Stojanovska for advising that the templates would be useful for mathematics classes, and for suggesting improvements to their design.
