Danish Institute for Study Abroad - Copenhagen
In cooperation with the Danish Institute for Study Abroad, students may study in Copenhagen, Denmark for the fall, spring, or academic year.

This program is best applicable to students pursuing Educational Studies, Psychology, Policy Studies, Sociology, and Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies majors, although a variety of courses are available.
For more information, please visit the DIS website.
Note: You must apply and be accepted through Dickinson before finishing and submitting a partner program application. Partner program providers make all final admissions decisions.
Copenhagen, Denmark
DIS is located in the heart of Copenhagen, Denmark's capital city, where students have access to great educational resources, all located within walking distance of the school. These include the main universities and research libraries of the country; parliament, government offices, European Union agencies, and the nation's Central Bank; the national museums of history, art and natural history; historic cathedrals and castles; marvels of modern Scandinavian architecture and design; the Royal Theatre; national media centers; and international company headquarters.
DIS offers challenging and unique coursework, taught in English, in the following areas: Architecture & Design, Biomedicine, Child Diversity & Development, Communication & Mass Media, European Culture & History, European Politics, Global Economics, International Business, Justice & Human Rights, Medical Practice & Policy, Migration & Conflict, Pre-Architecture, Psychology, Public Health, Sustainability in Europe.
All students are required to take a Danish Language and Culture course. Effective Fall 2018: Students must enroll in a total of 15-18 credits at DIS, which will earn them 4.5 credits at Dickinson.
Courses are taught in English by Danish faculty who bring a European point of view and personal experience from research, government, management and the professions to the classroom. Their teaching is enhanced by course-related study tours. European immersion is strengthened by the cross-cultural experience of living with a Danish family, a Danish roommate, or with Danish students in a 'kollegium' (residence hall).
This Partner program requires students to have at a minimum
- Open to all majors
- All students must have a declared major at the time of application
Although students from all majors are welcome to apply, but preference is given to students pursuing the following majors: Educational Studies, Psychology, Policy Studies, Sociology, and Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies
As a part of the review process students' conduct records and account status are also reviewed. Students and their parents should note that the review process takes all elements of the student's academic record into consideration and that even if a student has the required minimum GPA and language prerequisites, he or she may not be admitted.
Students who have questions about the review process or their particular candidacy for a program should come into the Center for Global Study and Engagement for advising.
Center staff will not discuss students' applications with parents, friends or any other party without the student's consent and presence in the conversation.
How do I apply?
Complete Dickinson's online application for DIS – Study Abroad in Copenhagen by the Dickinson deadline. If you are accepted to the program you will receive login instructions in your Dickinson acceptance letter to apply for courses and housing. Once you receive this information you should begin the next step immediately as courses and housing fill on a first come, first served basis.
Is there a foreign language component?
There is no requirement; however, Dickinson students are required to take the Danish Language and Culture course in order to derive the most benefit from the study abroad experience.
What is the language of instruction?
Classes are taught in English.
How many credits are courses worth?
Most courses are worth 3 credits, while a few carry 1 or 6 credits. Effective Fall 2018: students must enroll in 15-18 credits for a total 4.5 Dickinson credits. Students choose one core course that focuses on a specific academic field or discipline and supplement this course with other electives, as well as the Language and Culture course.
Will the courses count towards my major?
Courses taken at DIS can count towards your major, minor, or for general college credit. You should check with your academic advisor on campus prior to course selection. Information about transferring credit back to Dickinson can be found on your online application.
Generally speaking, courses must have an equivalent at Dickinson. Exceptions include classes that focus on the culture and/or history of the country in which the student is studying. Transfer credit will not be awarded for coursework that duplicates what a student has already completed at Dickinson.
Will they count in my GPA?
Psychology courses taken at DIS have been approved by the Dickinson psychology department to count as Dickinson courses and therefore calculate into the Dickinson GPA (see the Psychology Departments website for more information). All other courses are considered "transfer courses"; students must earn a "C" or better in these courses in order to transfer credit back to Dickinson. Transfer credit grades appear on the Dickinson transcript but do not calculate into the Dickinson GPA.
What kinds of excursions are available?
Each DIS core course includes two faculty-led, academic study tours which includes a short tour to Denmark or the surrounding region, and a week-long study tour to a European destination that is directly relevant to your core course academics. Optional organized excursions to other parts of Europe are also available for an extra fee with themes related to food, the environment, outdoor activities, dance/theatre, art, history, and many more.
What expenses are covered during excursions?
Students' lodging costs will be covered during overnight excursions. Also, any meals that would not be otherwise covered by a standard meal stipend for all students on the program will be covered. Group transportation to and from the excursion site, as well as group travel for all group activities will be covered. Students will not be reimbursed for snacks, personal travel and personal activities during an academic excursion.
When will I find out where and when we're traveling?
Specific dates will be announced at the beginning of the semester. Site visits in and around Copenhagen will be announced as they are organized.
Can a friend or family member who is not on the program join us?
No, unfortunately, for logistical and academic reasons non program participants are not able to join the program for excursions.
Are excursions optional?
Not necessarily. These excursions are linked to your academic program and, in some cases, content delivered through the excursion will be relevant to a student's studies and assessment. All students should plan to participate in all excursions. If a student misses an excursion or a planned departure for a trip, these arrangements and costs will not be made up for the student. It is each student's responsibility to be where they need to be in order to participate fully in each academic excursion.
When is orientation?
Students attend the full day mandatory pre-departure orientation at Dickinson the semester prior to studying abroad. DIS provides a Pre-departure Packet to students one or two months prior to departure which contains arrival and orientation information. Upon arrival in Copenhagen students meet their host families, roommates and students and attend an Arrival Workshop.
What are the program dates?
Tentative dates for the fall, spring, and academic year sessions can be found here.
Is there a group flight?
No, students are responsible for arranging their own travel to Copenhagen. DIS will provide you with information about your arrival and departure.
What if my family wants to visit me?
If you have family or friends who are planning to visit you, please do not make travel plans until you arrive at the program and become familiar with your class schedule and program excursions. It is not acceptable to skip class for personal travel.
When will I have time to travel?
Aside from DIS excursions, students may travel on their own during university breaks when classes are not in session. It is not acceptable to skip class for personal travel.
Can I arrive early or stay after the program ends?
Students may arrive early or stay late if they wish to travel on their own when classes are not in session. Please note that if you choose to arrive early or stay late, you will not be able to stay in your program housing. No student may arrive late for the start of the program.
How much does the program cost?
Students pay Dickinson comprehensive fees to attend this program. The cost includes tuition (one-study tour), room, board*, and some local transportation. See the budget sheet for more information.
What is included in the program fee?
The fee covers tuition; room; board; academic excursions; laundry facilities or allowance; library, print, and computer access at the DIS center; local transportation from DIS to your housing; medical, accident and liability insurance from DIS (not a substitute for primary insurance); emergency medical insurance from Dickinson; pre-departure and on-site orientation.
How much extra money do I need to bring?
This depends on you. We encourage students to not travel every weekend, but to really engage their host city in meaningful ways during their semester abroad. An estimate of personal expenses is included on the budget sheet, but it really depends on you and your spending habits.
How do I access health care in Copenhagen?
As a DIS student, you will have comprehensive health, accident, and personal liability insurance coverage by the Danish national health service system and a policy of the 'Europæiske' Insurance Company. The insurance is valid in Europe, including the EU and additional countries in central Europe and the countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. The insurance covers you until the end of the program, which is the last day of housing at 12.00.
During your stay in Copenhagen, you will be assigned an English-speaking family doctor in your neighborhood. Doctors' visits, hospitalization, the issuing of prescriptions, and prescribed medicine are covered. Additional information about accessing health care in Copenhagen will be provided by DIS.
Dickinson also provides students with medical and travel security assistance through International SOS. Please visit our Health and Insurance Abroad page for more information.
Where will I live?
All students are guaranteed housing; it is up to the student to choose whether they wish to live with a Danish host family, in an apartment with a Danish roommate, in the DIS kollegium, or folkehojskole. These options were selected by Dickinson to provide students with the greatest opportunity for immersion in Danish culture.
Once students are accepted by DIS, they will be required to submit their housing requests. Students are not guaranteed their first choice in housing so students should review all housing options carefully to determine which options are best suited for them and should be prepared to staying in one of the three options they select in their housing request. Please note: this program is primarily a homestay program.
Will I have to commute to classes?
Yes, all students will encounter some degree of commuting in their daily life, anywhere between 15 minutes to an hour one way; however, this is common for most Danes. Students will be provided with a transportation pass to access classes and activities not within walking distance. Public transportation is clean and comfortable; students may also rent a bicycle, a popular activity.
Are internships available?
"Internships" are not available on this program. There are, however, many volunteer and practicum opportunities. Also, for most of the core courses at DIS, there is a partnered practicum available to students.
Can I conduct research while abroad?
If you are interested in doing research in Denmark/Europe, you may enroll in the 'Research Project' course. By taking this course, students will be able to carry out a piece of individualized research under the guidance of a local advisor. The project must be prepared beforehand so that you are ready to maximize your use of the local environment once you arrive in Copenhagen. Talk to your faculty advisor at Dickinson about integrating research at DIS into your coursework.
Additionally, students may be able to conduct research abroad under the guidance of a Dickinson advisor. The Student International Research Fund (SIRF) was established to help students with extra travel costs associated with independent research projects. Students are encouraged to present their research at the International Research Symposium when they return to campus.
Do I need a visa?
All US citizen students who will be living in Denmark for longer than three months require a residence permit. You will apply for a Danish residence permit after arrival in Copenhagen, during orientation. The cost of the residence permit, currently $300, is not covered by the program. If you are not a U.S. citizen, it is your responsibility to research and familiarize yourself with any special requirements to enter and stay in Denmark.
If I'm not a U.S. passport holder, are there any additional requirements?
Yes, you will need to do your own research on visa requirements for citizens of your home country to study in the UK. The CGSE may be able to help you with the required documents. Also, you will need to inform ISS that you will be studying outside of the United States and discuss how you will remain in valid F-1 status during your studies abroad.
Global Ambassadors are returning study abroad students who serve as peer advisors for their program. Please feel free to contact them for a student perspective.
Caitlin Doak
I studied at the Danish Institute for Study Abroad in Copenhagen, Denmark. Going abroad for a full year meant I didn't have to make the difficult decision of choosing only one housing option: I got to experience full cultural immersion while living with a Danish family outside of the city, in addition to living independently in a dorm or "kollegium" with Danish students near the heart of Copenhagen. The wide range of course offerings at DIS made it easy for me to study abroad for a full academic year while still double minoring. Most of my classes were through DIS, but I also had the opportunity to take classes at Copenhagen University. My course work was supplemented with field studies around the Copenhagen area and study tours across Europe. My time at DIS also extended beyond academics. I joined BLUS, the Copenhagen LGBTQ organization, sang in the Copenhagen Business School International Choir, and performed in and directed a showing of The Vagina Monologues. Thanks to the built-in travel weeks unique to DIS, I was able to travel on my own and enjoy Copenhagen and Europe despite my busy schedule.
Tiffany Chin
I studied abroad for a full year, first in Copenhagen, Denmark, and then in Yaoundé, Cameroon. By studying in these two places, I was able to take unique classes in both my Environmental Science major and French minor. In Denmark, I took classes about climate change, environmental politics, and biodiversity from professors who worked in these fields and were able to give us insight from a perspective that I would not have otherwise received. In Cameroon, I was able to hone my French language skills as well as learn about the environmental priorities of a developing nation through my experiences as an intern at a local NGO. Attending two dramatically different programs allowed me to broaden my perception of the world and of the environmental topics that I study. I learned the very different views that are held about the environment in a developing versus a developed nation, and now have a better understanding of the diversity of opinions, problems, and lifestyles around the world. I plan to use this knowledge in my future work with environmental issues.
Emma Schultz
For a full academic year, I studied abroad at DIS in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was by far the most transformative experience of my lifetime. In that year, I studied things like prostitution and the sex trade, espionage during the Cold War era, and Icelandic Vikings and sagas. I went to classes with students who attend schools all over the United States, and learned as much from them as I did from my professors. I lived with a Danish host family, including my wonderfully chatty twelve-year-old host sister, energetic nine-year-old host brother, and huge, fluffy host dog. I found myself immersed in the Danish culture and in an international learning environment in every way possible.
My time abroad influenced me personally, academically, and professionally. In the future, I hope to work in higher education administration with an international and study abroad focus. Before spending a year in Denmark, this was not my goal. I hope to enable study abroad experiences for any students that seek them out.
Claire Jungman
A foreign language, public transportation, and beautiful people on bikes everywhere you go is supposed to cause homesickness during the first few weeks of studying abroad. Yet Europe is everything the United States isn't and I loved it. After being home now for almost three months I am incredibly nostalgic for every moment I just spent 3,000 miles away from "home."
I spent my spring semester of junior year in Copenhagen, Denmark, studying at the Danish Institute for Study Abroad (DIS). DIS offers twenty-three different academic programs with each one focusing on a specific academic field or discipline. The program you choose becomes your core course. Each core course includes a weeklong Program Study Tour to a European destination. As a Psychology major I chose European Clinical Psychology as my core course. I was lucky enough to go to Vienna during my study tour, which was one of my favorite experiences abroad.
My future plans include going to law school after graduating from Dickinson. I loved studying abroad so much that I now even consider going to law school in Europe
Alexa Balonik
I studied at the Danish Institute for Study Broad (DIS) in Copenhagen, Denmark in the spring semester of 2015. With an International Business and Management major, I took a communications class, a digital media class, photojournalism, and psychology of leadership course. It was very interesting learning the business culture in Scandinavia and how it compared to business ethics here in America. While I was abroad, I traveled a lot throughout Europe and saw many cities that I've always wanted to visit. DIS also is very structured and has planned trips for your "Core Course" which were really fun experiences. You go on a weekend long trip with your Core Course and also a week long trip later in the semester. I really enjoyed this aspect of the program because it brings your class together and also brings you out of the classroom to study, learn, and practice what you've been taught in class. Having a visiting family was one of the highlights of my semester. A visiting family is a family that you get paired with if you apply. You can meet up whenever you want or wherever you want and have a family away from home. My family was amazing and had me over for family dinners, birthday parties, took me to their summer home, and much more. This really helped me learn more about Danish culture and family life while also making life long friends with them. I'm already looking forward to my next trip back to Copenhagen so I can see them and also to experience the beautiful city again.
Jaime Phillips
I studied at the Danish Institute for Study Abroad in Copenhagen, Denmark, during the 2014-15 academic year. In Copenhagen, my core topics of study were sustainability and urban planning. I took several truly incredible classes, including ones on urban livability and Copenhagen's urban history and planning. The most exciting part of my study abroad experience was the amazing cultural exchange that came, not just from interacting with the many Danes that I met, but also from living with an Iranian host family, having from professors from Lithuania, Germany, and Mexico, and friends from the Czech Republic, Costa Rica, China, and many other countries. Some of the activities that I was involved with included singing in an International Choir, tutoring English, and swing dancing. My classes and time in Copenhagen have inspired me to pursue a Master's in Urban Planning with a focus on Transportation Planning. In the future, I want to use Copenhagen's incredible transportation infrastructure and policies that encourage urban livability to inspire transportation networks and policies that can encourage urban livability in other regions.
Jia (Majer) Ma
I also chose to study in Copenhagen, Denmark. While in Copenhagen, I was able to take classes in international humanitarian law and international human rights law. I also had a life-changing experience by having the opportunity to visit Bosnia- a country that experienced genocide. I was also able to learn from and talk to victims, local activists, and governmental officials to deepen my understanding in this issue. Copenhagen's program thus broadened my perspective on international conflicts and their impacts, and provided me with the opportunity to further my interests in international law, international conflicts, and humanitarian assistance.
Juliette Bastarache
My name is Juliette Bastarache (Wayland, MA) and I am currently a junior. I studied abroad in Copenhagen, Denmark through the Danish Institute for Study Abroad (DIS) program during the fall semester of my junior year. I am a psychology major, with a minor in biology (and hopefully economics). As a student studying sciences, I thought that it would be difficult to study abroad, but it wasn't! Four out of the five courses I took counted towards my major, which is now allowing me to pick up a second minor! DIS is an extremely unique program because it offers many courses in a variety of different subjects. DIS gave me the opportunity to explore Denmark and the rest of Europe! DIS offered me cultural and global opportunities I wouldn't have been able to experience in a classroom.
Julie Foong
I am Julie Foong, an international student from Singapore studying Psychology and Sociology. On campus, I am a peer advisor with the Office of Academic Advising and am involved with Synergy Dance Team. I had the privilege of attending Danish Institute for Study Abroad (DIS), one of our partner programs for a semester. I chose a core course in Positive Psychology and did study tours to Western Denmark and Milan. The structure of the program gives students unique opportunities to apply concepts in the real world, as well as to learn the various European perspectives on given topics. It would be my pleasure to advise you should you choose Copenhagen to be your home!
Rachel Kruchten
My name is Rachel Kruchten. I am a rising senior psychology major and sociology minor. I am interested in intergenerational transmission of mental illness, sex education, and domestic violence and sexual assault prevention. I am on the executive board for PALS, and involved in Spanish Club and Psychology Club, as well as being a member of Alpha Lambda Delta and Psi Chi. I studied abroad in fall of 2014 with DIS in Copenhagen, at the Danish Institute for Study Abroad. I was very lucky to be able to study psychology in the classroom and in a more hands on setting, doing practicum work outside of the city. I lived with a host family, close to the heart of the city, and it was without a doubt what made my experience wonderful. Some of the other highlights included our short and long study tours, which were to Århus and Milan. Overall, my experience at DIS was transformative in so many ways, and Copenhagen will always be a home to me.

The Witches of Dark Root (Daughters of Dark Root Book 1), by April Aasheim
"The dialog between the sisters all came off as really real, which just added to the depth of the storytelling. I was constantly caught by surprise on where the book was going, and never once was I disappointed. In fact, I'm eagerly awaiting the sequel. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a fun, light-hearted, mystical read to while away a rainy afternoon. The plot takes unexpected twists and turns, and the characters are fun to know. At the book's end, I found myself wishing that Dark Root was real, as it would be a place I'd totally spend a vacation at!" -- Amazon Reviewer
"There are some secrets darker than witchcraft." - Dora Maddock
Deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest is a small village called Dark Root, a town steeped in magic, mystery, and secrets.
But for Maggie Maddock, Dark Root is also a prison - a place where she is forced to work in her mother's Magick Shoppe while the rest of the world moves forward without her. When a mysterious stranger offers to take Maggie away from it all, she leaves without looking back.
Seven years later, Maggie is called home by her beloved older sister. There she is confronted with a renewed sibling rivalry, a mother suffering under a mysterious illness, and a town that's lost it's literal magic. Now Maggie must decide if she will use her newfound abilities to aid those she loves or run from her responsibilities once again.
In the tradition of Alice Hoffman's Practical Magic and Rebecca Wells' Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, The Witches of Magic seamlessly weaves the past with the present, the magical with the mundane. It is a tale of family, forgiveness, and the healing power of love that will leave readers believing in magic long after the story ends.

April spent her childhood with her fortune-telling mother and her get-rich-quick-scheming stepfather: traveling the carnival circuit, selling products door to door, and living in an abandoned miner's shack in the Superstition Mountains of Arizona. During her travels she met many interesting people who have found their way into her novels.
Later, April went to live with her martial artist father and spent her days twirling swords and performing karate chops--skills she now only uses in her stories or on her husband when he's forgotten to take out the recycling.
When she isn't writing, April enjoys Zumba, reading, Netflix, and video games. She is also an avid collector on anything related to: psychology, sociology, the occult, and world religion.
April is also a mother to two sons and a step-parent to a beautiful girl. She also has a cat named Boots who helps her with her writing by typing when she isn't looking. All paragraphs that begin with yxoxossssssssssssgggggggggg are credited to him.

This is only updated up to 2014. I'm still in the process of revamping the site, will add more later.
I aspire to be a translator, giving Indonesian access to great books and introducing Indonesia's literary beauty to the world. English is my target language, given it is the current lingua franca and the one I know best. I am still learning. Sometimes I can be found translating for open source projects, but for now I am looking forward to translate works in public domains. These classics deserve to be read!

Tuesday, June 7
Morning, TexMessagers! Now more than ever, we need to pray for deliverance . . . from our elected officials.
★ ★ ★
We remember the brave. We remember the fallen.
Last summer, your blogger-in-chief made a pilgrimage to Normandy to view the location of perhaps the greatest day of the greatest generation.
The D-Day invasion, June 6, 1944, was a turning point in a war against tyranny that united Americans, a time of national unity that reflected the best of America and American values.
Sixty-seven years later, as America is fighting three undeclared wars in Africa and Asia, as well as a decade-long war against vague enemies known as terrorists and terrorism, it's nice to think back to those days of moral clarity and individual and collective bravery.
Texans had their share of the glory — and sacrifice — on D-Day. There is the memorial to the Texas-Oklahoma unit (yes, Texas and Oklahoma were united) that battled on the beaches. And who can ever forget Rudder's Rangers. U.S. Army Rangers, under the command of Lt. Col. Earl Rudder (a future Texas A&M University president) scaled Pointe du Hoc's 90-foot cliffs and repelling intense German counterattacks to help secure an Allied victory.
We remember.

Texas Tips
Every morning, we offer Texas news you may not have heard and insights from the Washington bureau staff.
★A TOP TEXAN TO LEAVE WHITE HOUSE. Austan Goolsbee, a Texas native who serves as the chairman of President Obama's Council of Economic Advisers, plans to leave the administration this summer to resume his academic career at the University of Chicago. President Obama called the Waco native "one of America's great economic thinkers." Goolsbee is the second highest ranking Texan in the administration, behind U.S. Trade Representative (and former Dallas Mayor) Ron Kirk. More>>>
★ TED CRUZ CONTINUES TO GAIN GROUND FOR SENATE SEAT. Ted Cruz is on a roll. Attention in some conservative circles has turned toward the former Texas Solicitor General as the conservative movement's favorite to replace retiring senator Kay Bailey Hutchison. The Cuban American Tea Party favorite has already been endorsed by FreedomWorks, Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), Red State, Club for Growth and conservative radio talk show host Mark Levin. Read the full story here.
★ A STAR RISES IN CENTRAL TEXAS. Campaigns & Elections magazine has named the 2011 Rising Stars, 35-and-unders, who have built up a string of success in political consulting and advocacy. Among them is Matt Mackowiak, who managed the Bill Flores' 2010 congressional campaign that unseated incumbent Chet Edwards. Congrats, Matt! Get the full list here.
★ McCAUL WANTS DRUG CARTELS LABELED TERRORISTS. The Obama administration is not crazy about the idea, but Texas Rep. Michael McCaul is undeterred. The Austin Republican has introduced a resolution that would officially label certain drug cartels as terrorist groups. Read the full story here.

Reader Comment of the Day
In response to our story that Gov. Rick Perry is promoting a national day of prayer and fasting to be celebrated at Reliant Stadium in Houston, reader Mike Mundy commented on Facebook:
It's tasteless that Perry is all of the sudden, pandering to Christian Conservatives, merely to fool them into supporting his presidential run. Ask yourselves this question: Why wasn't prayer so important before?

How To Draw Really Cool Stuff - Things To Draw
Draw Really Cool Stuff The Collected Book At Amazon.com
A Drawing Book Our Son Got For Christmas And I've Stolen It!!
This book is a really good and simple and easy to follow book on drawing really cool stuff as the title of the book suggests, my son received it for christmas but he hasn't had much time to look through it because of me, I've hijacked it beause it is a really good book and one that has simple little step by step drawing tutorials on drawing such things as fish, dinosaurs,cars, birds and lot of jungle animals.
I felt a bit guilty the other day as he asked for it back right when I was going through the best dinosaur drawing parts and so I told him a little white lie that I have lost it in the storeroom somewhere, even though it was under my drawing board safe and sound with little post its all over it and inside bookmarked the best pages that I hope to use as inspiration and create my very own hubpages on the subject of drawing some really cool stuff.
The book itself has simple tutorials that are one or two pages long and hey don't have too much writing as it is the drawings that you focus on to achieve the results that are shown within the book. This is perhaps one of the best kids drawing books that I have ever seen and I've seen a few and it collects six main books with themes of interest for the kids to draw:
- How to draw ocean animals
- How to draw cars
- How to draw desert animals
- How to draw dinosaurs
- How to draw rainforest animals
- How to draw insects
There is a section on drawing sharks to give you an example and the shark steps are very easy to sketch out, because the basis of each tutorial begins with a few well placed shapes and then building on top of these geometric shapes to create the desired result. Of course though the best part of the book for me is drawing dinosaurs as all the old favourites are there to learn to draw, like the triceratops, the t-rex and the brontosaurus and the velociraptor, all those we thought was real life creatures in Jurassic Park.
Drawing cars is also an interesting section as cars for me have always been quite difficult because for one main reason I was never interested in drawing them as a child for some strange reason it was always a helicopter or an aeroplane. But here we are treated to a car drawing extravaganza and I was quite surprised at how much I enjoyed learning how to draw a car.
This book teaches you how to draw the basics in a no nonsense fashion and is a good starting point for the world of drawing anything your imagination can conjure up and early on when kids are just figuring out how to draw, but also the adults can learn from this book too and join in with the kids to draw, but in my case I was slightly selfish and drew on my own like a greedy fool.
Maybe I'll give this book back when I've finished with it, or I just might say it is lost forever mwahahahahaha...no Im only kidding I'll hand it back soon as I've nearly finished the projects I was inspired by...
Now check out my - fantasy art drawing tutorials as the Draw Really Cool Stuff Book inspired me to do my own tutorials and plus I am more at home with drawing fantasy creatures and other stuff like that.

Fango was alerted by writer/director/actor Brandon (POLYCARP) Slagle about HIGHWAY HUNTERS, a new genre movie hell co-star in for directors Jaysen Stamper and Todd Lowe. The flick will follow Audrey (Ryli Morgan), a CIA assassin, who is tracking down a vicious serial killer who kidnapped her and her sister 10 years prior. To better avenge her sister, who died horribly at the hands of the maniac, the femme fatale travels in a mobile torture chamber complete with power tools, surgical equipment, and a blow torch, per the movies MySpace page. The plot thickens when a former U.S. Marine turned hitman (Mark Baranowski) is hired to kill the same man Audrey is after. Throw in the serial killers utterly insane and bloodthirsty partner, who goes on a simultaneous killing spree, and the scene is set for a demolition derby of blood, guts, and bone-ripping horror on the highways and byways of the dirty South in the tradition of THE DEVILS REJECTS, BONNIE AND CLYDE and NATURAL BORN KILLERS.
HIGHWAY HUNTERS will also star Rachael (THE SCREAMING DEAD) Robbins; more info can be found at that MySpace page, and keep checking here for updates as we get em.

Welcome to Ultra Portable Digital QRP. This webpage augments our Facebook group of the same name. This blog is a place for sharing, learning or presenting practical ideas and field experience for Ultra Portable Amateur Digital comms.
What is Ultra Portable Amater Digital?
An Ultra Portable Amateur Digital station is a station designed to be backpack portable, hotel deployable, as small and lightweight as possible in order to take it with you anywhere you go. It doesn't matter if thats a hotel room, beach, SOTA expedition, picnic in the forest, or any number of crazy places where ham radio digital modes can be deployed.
For the most part, you'll find Android, Linux and some Windows based solutions on the blog. Overall, the goals of the blog & group are to enable operators to deply Ultra Portable Digital kits with minimal gear, while maximising their digital comms capabilities.
Sharing is greaty encouraged! Your gear, your kits, your deployments will certainly help others get their start in Ultra Portable Digital QRP activations.
Why QRP?
Many of todays Digital modes can be decoded far below the noise floor. So realistically, there is no reason to put out a hundred watts, when 5-20w will do. For example, I work almost exclusively QRP 5w, regardless of the mode. For emergency communications, or running net ops, I may use a maximum of 50w, but 20w usually does the job.

Beek's Books
- an ongoing collection of comic book reviews
by Scott McCloud
32-page 11"x15" book
Rating: , Content:
If you're a serious student of comics, you've read the insightful analysis of Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics. If you're lucky, you've enjoyed the artful blend of whimsy and character development that was his beloved series Zot!. Readers of current DC books may have seen the highs and lows of his handling of the Man of Steel in Superman Adventures. And if you're a true fan of McCloud, you eagerly await his upcoming Adventures of Abraham Lincoln (or whatever the title turns out to be). But you've missed out on the superlative McCloud comic book if you haven't read DESTROY!!
DESTROY!! (which just doesn't look right as a title unless I type it in all caps and bold... and the two exclamation points are part of the title) is the "story" of a huge, escalating fight between Captain Maximum and his former colleague the Red Basher, who has gone berserk (over a woman, of course). It was published in 1986, during the hiatus between Zot! #10 and #11. But don't look for it in your local shop's back-issue bins... because it wouldn't fit. This comic book is 11 inches wide and 15 inches tall, the second-largest I know of (Chris Ware's Acme Novelty Library #7 edges it out by a few inches in height).
While Ware uses the over-size format to explore intricate storytelling and layout techniques, McCloud uses the real estate in DESTROY!! for the sheer grandiosity of it all. The number of panels per page is no more than in most modern comics (and considerably fewer than was usual in 1986), with liberal use of full-size splash pages, individual panels the size of an ordinary comic book, and yes, one double-page 22"x15" splash at the climax.
I've heard DESTROY!! called "the first Image comic", because of this liberal use of splash pages and the minimal use of characterisation or plot. But in many ways, it is the antithesis of the Image stereotype. The art is clean and simple, owing far more to Jack Kirby than to the folks whose wilder page layouts inspired the original, "hot" Image artitsts. Another difference is that the art is carefully researched, telling a story set in the real New York City. McCloud demonstrates this geeky attention to detail by plotting the fight on a map of Manhattan at the back of the book, identifying the real-world landmarks we see getting demolished along the way, as Captain Maximum attempts to subdue the rampaging Red Basher. Image founders Rob Liefeld and Todd McFarlane get trashed for ignoring basic anatomy; McCloud even sweats the details of architecture and geography. And besides, McCloud was doing it all for sheer, campy fun.
McCloud almost succeeds in providing what he set out to offer: pure, senseless violence. It's a tongue-in-cheek satire of the superhero genre, and a soberingly prescient warning of things then yet-to-come. But at the same time, it's a joyful celebration of the potential of the medium to satisfy the childish fascination with sheer power, and McCloud's one last shot at a game he sees all superhero artists playing. As he puts it in the Author's Note, "[they] are still playing King o' The Hill with Jack Kirby. Just trying to do that one big explosion, that one powerhouse punch, that one bitchin' close-up that'll be bigger an' badder than anything.. HE ever drew." This simple goal is what makes DESTROY!! McCloud's "superlative" creation: It's the mostest he's likely to ever try.

Thanks to Charity Preston over at the Organized Classroom Blog and the Teacher Blog Traffic School, I found this AWESOME website:
Here's why it's so awesome:
* You can keep track of books you've read and give reviews.
* When you search for books (that you've read) to add to your shelf,
you discover new books to read!
* You can follow others and discover new books to read!
* This is another way to find out about supplemental material that
teachers have created to accompany books they've read (children's
For example, I really wanted to do a Mark Teague author study this spring but didn't find too many books to share with my 1st graders, but one popped up as I typed in "The Three Little Pigs". Can't wait to hunt it down and read it!
|Here's what my quickly expanding shelf looks like!
Also, I don't know about you but in college I really wanted my Elementary Education classes to expose me to good children's literature authors...but they didn't. And I have never really ever made the time to carefully prowl the aisles of my local public library to expose myself to authors and books that I should be reading to my students. Fortunately this happened last fall when I was on maternity leave and got to take my daughter and newborn son to the library for outings. But now Shelfari is helping expose me to more good children's literature from the comfort of my home (and jammies)!
Go check out this AWESOME website!
Go right now...I mean it!

However there is a way around this. It is worth noting that Singapore has very primative yeild management, and has just a few basic ticket prices for economy. Full fare economy and Cheap Economy, depending on the time of year, NOT on how many seats are left - therefore if you miss out on the cheap seats, the price curve is like falling off a cliff. Full fare means you can turn up for any flight, and are guaranteed an economy seat. Cheap economy means you'll have to notify Singapore of changes in advance. However if you book through the SIA website (not via a travel agent) most cheap economy tickets are fully flexible tickets, with nothing extra to pay never mind how often you change your journey, so long as there is space left on the plane! Its a bit of a bargain - and very useful.
The website has recently been updated, and it now allows you to select various different ticket classes, on the tab across the top, for economy fares:
Singapore 747 loading at LHR
Clicking on the fare rules when you make a booking is rather pointless, as it will not show you the booking class. However if you click on the fare rules link after entering your name, on the payment & ticketing page will tell you the booking class letter.
Singapore 777-300 at Singapore
Sometimes the Singapore website will indicate that no cheap economy fares are available, and just price up a full economy fare - as an example that can be £4750 from LHR to Sydney, in economy. However the website will only check on flights which offer an easy connection at Singapore if you select the book "From and To" option. In this case you'll have to be a bit crafty to fly cheaply. To get the best fares (which may involve some hanging around for your connection) choose the Multi-City option and put down all stops on your journey. Of course this means a lot of work testing each leg to see which flights have cheap seats on them - one neat trick is to test each leg in turn, say trying LHR to SIN as a return, and then SIN to SYD as a return, until you can see which flights have sold out of bargain seats, and only have falling-off-a-cliff economy seats.
Prices rise considerably over Christmas. It is worth knowing that extreme high tariff is 1st-15th Jan (lowest LHR-SYD £910) then 4th-31st Dec (LHR-SYD £815), then Nov-4th Dec & 16th Jan-1st April (£765). All other times are base fare (£683).
Singapore review their plane loading capacity 21 days before the plane takes off, and if there are still a lot of unsold high priced economy seats on the plane, but no low priced economy seats, it will release a further block at midnight Singapore time, and price these seats at the base fare - ie: lowest for the sector anytime. So for example if you want to fly LHR-SYD out on the 9th Jan, and book on the 18th Dec you can find the price is £4750 (economy, Y). However if you book on the 19th Dec, and a block is released, the price drops sharply. It's worth waiting an extra day, however when these seats appear, book them immediately - all tickets normally disappear within 24 hours.
Singapore 747 Raffles class upper deck
If you try these methods, quite often the Singapore Airlines UK version of the website will always sell you tickets at the cheapest price, even a couple of days before the plane takes off, if you select the "Multi-City - build your journey one flight at a time" option. So typically you can fly at peak times UK-OZ-UK cheaply, booking just days ahead.
This is similar to standby in the sense that this fare bucket (if that's really what it is) is only ever available at the airport on the day of departure and only if there is space available (indeed, abundant space available, such that there are still seats if two passengers turn up at the last minute and offer to buy a full priced ticket) and only if the lower class is at risk of overselling. It doesn't seem to be available very often. There is a certain language that should be used when asking for these upgrades, since you want to avoid directly using the "upgrade" word, given Singapore's sensitivity to the issue. Instead the question is "what would be the cost to reissue of this segment as a C class".
Singapore 777-200 at Singapore
SIA's special £555 offer
Naturally you get the normal KrisFlyer miles for this, and this will give you enough KrisFlyer frequent Flyer miles for a free return journey from the UK to Europe on a Star Alliance airline.
To start with, make sure you are a frequent flyer, and you do fly frequently: after all, if Singapore are going to upgrade anyone, they will upgrade those passengers who fly with them pretty regularly, and hence will enjoy the upgrade enough to put more business Singapore's way. Then if the flight is full in economy, and someone needs to be moved up, the check in staff will first look at Gold members, and then Silver level, and then at other Star Alliance members at the equivalent levels (Gold, and then Silver). Another thing that Singapore look at is how much you paid for your ticket: it's much more likely to happen with a full fare ticket (although occasionally you can get lucky with a discounted economy ticket). On Singapore the airline has heard - probably hundreds of times a day - requests for an upgrade: the general consensus seems to be that if you ask for an upgrade, you're less likely to get it, although opinions differ on an upgrade strategy for Singapore. The generally idea though is "good luck". It really is far rarer on Singapore Airlines than on any other airline (except, perhaps, Qantas).
As always, my advice on dressing properly in the pages on how to get an upgrade applies.
The website also offers a discount of about £40 compared to calling up the Singapore Airlines UK ticket desk.
Note however that if you buy tickets through the website, you'll only be able to buy an E ticket - you have to go through a travel agent to get a real ticket. With an Eticket you must remember to bring the credit card you booked it with to the airport, or you won't get on the plane - and you'll lose your ticket.

Online Catalogue | Wakeboarding | Wakeboards | Ronix Wakeboards | Ronix Code 22 Wakeboard 2014
Code 22 The past ¼ of a century of shaping and redefining the methods to our madness in wakeboard designs and ingredients have resulted in the most feedback we have ever gotten out of a board with the Intelligent core. With the biggest budget we have had to work with, we came up with hands down the most advanced technology ever put into a deck giving the rider the most in feedback. Created by the rider that arguably goes bigger than anybody - former WWA World Champion Dean Smith - the Code 22 has the most explosive Intelligent Core in our line. Complete with a Maple stringer, Italian made machined foam, Mod Pour Foam, parabolic Paulownia wood, and another first - carbon fiber and glass working together as one. The liveliness of this new shape snaps the board into the rider as they leave the wake, without having the extra explosion of our Timebomb. This Code 22 delivers more top water speed, with a vertical sidewall, and is a faster version of Deans Mana rocker line from last year. We lost a little grip with the vertical profile so we ran parallel channels on the bottom for aided traction once on rail. Deans new board has a slightly wider tip/tail for a bigger sweet spot on take offs and landings and a new tapered profile creating more feel on the water and balance on rails. Find that moment - Code 22.- Suction Cups on the top deck increase the connection with the boot for added board response- A more vertical sidewall pushes the tail out of the water for improved glide speed- New reduced rockerline height - common misconception is you need added rocker for increased lift - this rail design and rocker naturally carries more forward momentum- Thinner profile - creates more overall energy and added rebound offthe wake and softer landings- 4 fiberglass 1.0 fins & 4 fiberglass .8 utility fins- Brushed Chrome Top looks fancy
er then if we didnt have it - Created for the rider that wants to upgrade their vertical travels withthe most advanced new core

Personal Information is an extremely valuable commodity in today's digital environment. And as consumers become more guarded about using credit cards or anything else that imparts personal data, information security becomes an issue of paramount importance.The Payment Card Industry realized that in order to create a sense of safe transactions they would need to institute some kind of standardized measures to ensure information security. The companies that made up the Payment Card Industry each had their own standards, but they came to realize that a single standard was more likely to be achievable fore most businesses.The first two requirements of the PCI DSS deal directly with informations security. (In truth, every requirement has something to do with security, but do to the direct relation of the first two, those are the requirements this article will focus on.)Requirement number one states that you must install and maintain a firewall configuration to protect cardholder data. A firewall is a device that allows you to control the computer traffic into and out of your network and around sensitive areas of the system. Unauthorized access must be prohibited. There are often obscure ways that hackers can discover that will allow them to access sensitive information. These avenues must be blocked and a firewall is one of the necessary components to do so.Establishing a firewall for information security includes some very specific controls such as: a formalized process for approving and testing external network connections and any changes to the configuration. Problems can occur when a firewall is mis-configured, and this is how you can resolve them.A merchant is also required to provide a current diagram of their network that shows all connections to cardholder data. This is to make sure that no devices or connections are overlooked, because each connection coming into or going out of the network must be firewalled.Other documentation that is required around information security is a list of services and ports necessary for normal business operations. Justifications for you decisions are also going to be required, including the use of any protocols besides HTTP, SSL, SSH, and VPN, or the reasons behind allowing risky protocols like FTP.The firewall must be specifically configured to deny all traffic from untrusted sources. This especially applies to any connections between publicly accessible servers and any system that contains carholder data. These restrictions need to be strictly maintained because hackers are always on the lookout for the smallest hole or slightest chance to exploit a vulnerability, and that is where trouble stats.Another crucial component of this requirement is to implement IP masquerading. This allows a merchant to have internal addresses that are only available on internal systems. If a hacker could see those IPs they could attempt to access a network with a spoofed IP address.The second requirement warns merchants not to use vendor-supplied defaults for system passwords and other security parameters. When a vendor provides a system, there are usually standard passwords that they use. These passwords are very likely well known throughout the hacker communities, and if they are going to attempt to breach your system, these are the first passwords they will try.For a business to survive in this fast-paced, digital world, information security cannot be taken too lightly. A business might attempt to postpone their PCI compliance, but this can only lead to trouble. As more and more stories of security breaches reach the public notice, more and more consumers are going to demand a certain level of security.Your choices then are to reach compliance now and provide safe support for your customers, or wait and try to play catch up when they demand compliance before doing business with you. In truth, the choice should not be a difficult one.

Gezunt and geschmeckt the kinderlach felt While dreaming of taiglach and Chanukah gelt The alarm clock was sitting, a kloppin' and tickin' And Bobba was carving a shtickele chicken A tummolt arose, like the wildest k'duchas Santa had fallen right on his toochus! I put on my slippers, ains, tzvay, drei While Bobba was eating herring on rye I grabbed for my bathrobe and buttoned my guttkes And Bobba was just devouring the latkes To the window I ran, and to my surprise A little red yarmulka greeted my eyes. When he got to the door and saw the menorah "Yiddishe kinder," he cried, "Kenahorah!" I thought I was in a Goyishe hoize! As long as I'm here, I'll leave a few toys." Mama said,"Come into the kitchen, I'll get you a dish Mit a gupel, a leffel, and a shtickele fish." With smacks of delight he started his fressen Chopped liver, knaidlach, and kreplach gegessen Along with his meal he had a few schnapps When it came to eating, this boy sure was tops He asked for some knishes with pepper and salt But they were so hot he yelled out "Gevalt!" He loosened his hoysen and ran from the tish "Your kushereh meals are simply delish!" As he went through the door he said "See y'all later I'll be back next Pesach in time for the seder!" So, hutzmir and zeitzmir and "Bleibt mir gezint" He called out cheerily into the wind. More rapid than eagles, his prancers they came As he whistled and shouted and called them by name "Come, Izzie, Moishe, now Yossel and Sammy! On Oyving, Maxie, and Hymie and Manny!" He gave a geshrai, as he drove out of sight "A gutte yontiff to all, and to all a good night!" Happy Hannukah to you and yours... I wish you peace health, happiness, and prosperity

What is a Fat Burner?
Fat burner is a weight loss supplement designed to help people lose weight by making body fat burn faster.
A GOOD fat burner contains natural ingredients that do all of the following:
- Increases your metabolism causing your body to use more calories and burn more fat.
- Increases your internal body temperature. This "thermogenesis" causes your body to burn more calories and fat as fuel.
- Breaks down fatty tissue and stored fat for faster use as fuel or for faster elimination.
A GREAT fat burner does all of those PLUS:
- Blocks fat production and the storage of more fat and fat cells.
- Suppresses your appetite so that you eat fewer calories without feeling constantly hungry.
- Prevents food cravings.
- Increases your energy levels.
- And even reduces your level of stress and improves your mood!
Fat Accumulation
To best understand fat burners and weight (fat) loss, it's necessary to understand fat.
Where does it come from, why do we have it, and how and why does it accumulate in our bodies? Dietary fat is one of the three major macronutrients that we eat daily which include protein, carbohydrates and fat.
All three are essential nutrients, and all three provide calories for energy. But how does the fat that we eat become fat in our bodies?
Ancient Survival Mechanism
Humans store fat in their bodies as a primitive means of survival. Our distant ancestors lived from one meal to the next, they were hunters and gatherers who did not always know where that next meal was coming from.
During the "feast" times, their bodies would convert calories into stored energy as fat in order to better survive the "famine" periods until that next meal became available.
Unfortunately for us, we now live in constant feast periods with an overly abundant supply of food and our bodies continue to store (and stockpile) fat supplies for the famine period that may never come.
And to make matters worse, if we consciously decide to shed some of that stored fat by dieting, our bodies interpret that restriction of food and calories as "famine" and will do everything it can to hold on to that emergency fat supply.
When, for example, you are on a 1200 calorie diet, your body will literally fight you to keep from losing the stored energy (aka fat) that it thinks is necessary for your future survival.
Fat burners give your metabolism the needed boost to help burn additional calories before they are stored as fat. Learn more about Phen24
Accumulation of Fat in Women and Men
Now that you have a brief understanding of WHY your body stores fat, you may be wondering why this fat is stored in different places in people of differing ages and sexes?
Good question. During the adolescent growth spurt leading up to puberty, the rate of fat increase in girls is twice that of boys. Girls will develop not only more fat cells and but larger fat cells as well.
Women of childbearing years (after puberty and before menopause) store fat for survival during and after childbirth, or for the potential of childbirth. These additional fat cells accumulate around the hips, buttocks and thighs and will be the most difficult to shed during any attempt to lose weight and fat.
Women who want to slim down in these areas must not only contend with their body's "need" to store fat, but also their body's hormones that push those fat cells to their hips, butt and thighs. Dieting and reducing calories alone will not reduce this hormonal storage, but fat burners can help.
Men generally store excess fat in the abdomen. Increasing waist size is directly linked to an increased risk of heart disease, hypertension, diabetes and mortality.
The larger your waist, the greater your chances of health complications. For men, fat burning is difficult around the waist as it accumulates in this area as fast (or faster) as it is burned.
An effective fat burning supplement can help men burn fat faster and finally overcome this vicious cycle. Learn more about PhenQ
I Want to Add Phen24 or PhenQ to My Overall Weight Loss Program
Will these fat burners work even more effective?
Absolutely. By combining your fat burners and appetite suppressants with a healthy and nutritious eating plan and exercise, you will turbocharge your fat loss.
Here are five healthy suggestions to get you started:
- Drink more water. Drink a glass of water 30 minutes before each meal and you will eat less and consume fewer calories. Combine that with your appetite suppressing fat burners and you will be taking in even fewer calories and feeling full longer. Both PhenQ and Phen24 also break down fat in your body, by drinking more water you will help your body flush and eliminate that fat from your system.
- Eat more fiber. Fiber will help fill your stomach, and because it is slower to digest, it will help you feel more full for longer periods after you eat. Fiber also aids in elimination and flushing of the stored fats that your PhenQ and Phen24 are breaking down.
- Eat more protein. Especially for breakfast. By replacing breakfast foods like cereals, grains and carbs with proteins like eggs, you will feel more full and satisfied longer through the morning. Lean protein for breakfast can result in a 30% increase in weight loss over those who continue eating cereals.
- Don't skip meals. Remember the "feast or famine" scenario in the fat storage cycle? If you skip a meal or meals, your body releases hormones to promote fat storage. Your body goes into a temporary starvation mode, slows your metabolism and holds on to the fat for survival.
- Use smaller plates and bowls. You are eating smaller meals and smaller portions thanks to the water you are drinking and the appetite suppressants in your PhenQ or Phen24. You are now in control of your stomach, let's add psychological control of your brain by "tricking" it with what appears to be normal sized portions by serving your smaller portions on smaller plates or in smaller bowls. Simple but very effective.
Are you ready to take control of YOUR life? Are YOU ready to lose the weight that you have always dreamed of losing and making that body you dream of a reality?

'Homework…The best way to make it Happen' by Dyslexia Dublin © 2014
Imagine you have been sat all day in class and bombarded with lots of new things to learn, and then it's time to go home and start to study all over again and then factor in your child with a learning need… not easy.
Get the teacher if possible to give your child their homework well before the class finishes, the best time is first thing in the morning as part of class…maybe the teacher will give a brief synopsis of the work required.
Homework should be part text and part visual, to stimulate the learners into doing it.
Like what we write keep up to date with our latest articles at our dyspraxia/dyslexia/dyscalculia support page at https://www.facebook.com/DyspraxiaGlobalDyslexiaDyscalculiaForumForAll?ref=hl
Write homework requirements on a slip of paper for the individual to stick into their planner or, better still, have a colour coded homework notebook. If they have a SNA/Teacher, ask them to write this out with your child.
As parents, I would advise you to get the phone numbers of several parents and you can each do a ring around if one or other forgets the homework notebook, or you can't understand what is required… this is also a good idea if your child is out sick so as not to fall behind.
Some colleges use Ethernet and this is great for putting up homework lists… hopefully schools will eventually start to use this technology.
It is so important for all family members to have agreed homework rules… get your children to draw up a list with you. Make sure all children are doing their homework at the same time… unless they are seniors. Disconnecting the router is a good idea as they will go onto the internet and play (if they are doing homework with a laptop). Agree who will help with the homework to reduce politics and conflict (mum or dad). Get this all right and the chore of home study will be easier for sure.
Be organised and keep to a routine, how will your children conform if you show little interest yourself? Use a different approach to helping… use prompts and be ahead of their homework… telling them you don't know the answers will make them feel that they can survive without achieving.
Reinforce the positive points… "Wow! 19 out of 25 in your spellings!... well done!. Maybe If we take a look at them you might get 25, wouldn't that be great!!!" rather than "19 out of 25… which 6 did you get wrong?" which is very negative. Positive remarks are great, for example – "I was reading your homework last week, it was tough but you stuck at it… well done!". We should mask constructive criticism in a ratio of 1 negative for every four positives in that sequence.: ending on a high. We should also, expect days when they are under the weather, they might have had PE and are genuinely exhausted (teachers might consider this point and give homework passes (dyspraxic children tire quickly).
Parents should ensure that homework is completed before any other distractions get in the way… make sure they have water to drink as they would have at school, dehydration causes fatigue. Let your child relax after they finish their homework and remember, homework is more important than extra-curricular activities. If one of your children flies through homework start them later, they all need to finish at the same time to avoid conflict.
Get your children to do the subjects they find harder first, as they will be more focused.
Make sure the individual (son/daughter) knows the system for handing in homework.
It is far better if the schools can frontload the homework, as we all know by nature children tire as the week progresses.
If you want to see instant results get them to read all their homework out aloud and if they are teens they can do it in their room...we can see an instant improvement when we do this, why, we have just engaged two more of our senses and believe this really hits the spot.

For teachers and form tutors, prompt individuals to hand in homework as part of a regular routine and treat the reading/marking of homework and also feedback on the homework, as important as class work, as students put in so much effort into doing their homework.
Some teachers get the children to check each other's homework and mark accordingly. This can lead to inaccuracies and possibly even falling out, if mistakes are made with the marking (are they old enough to accept this responsibility?).
Help the individual to set up a timetable to show when homework should be handed in.0
If you have a child with slow processing speed in your class (dyslexia,dyspraxia,dyscalculia, auditory processing disorder) consider giving them homework that repeats what they studied that day and not fresh untutored work, the little they lose against the others is a far better approach as over learning is know to help improve retention.

Work with parents to set up a system at home so the individual can plan ahead, particularly for project work.
Before giving a detention for missing homework, try to find out why homework hasn't been completed.
Parent Teacher Meetings - maybe include a Homework Workshop, where individuals can raise concerns or issues they're having around homework and schools could give guidance and helpful tips.
One more thing… find out if your child is following the curriculum…this will help you gauge if they are doing foundation or ordinary level and the direction they are heading in for their state exams. This will give you an opportunity to purchase additional resources, in line with the curriculum, ie. past exam papers, etc.

We started with Chitika several months ago because they were billing themselves out as being "better" than Google Adsense. The problem with Chitika and their Claims of being better than Google Adsense is they just aren't true. The ad system is aweful, they have very little information in the way of statistics. On top of that we get paid on average about 1 CENT per 1000 impressions. That means we'll show an advertisement for Chitika 1000 times and see 1 cent for our troubles.
The reason of course is poor click through rate (CTR). The problem with that is it's their problem. They aren't serving relevant ads in our content and Google Adsense is. That's why the same amount of ads running at the same time get us on average $6 per 1000 impressions over at Google Adsense. I have personally seen days when we get over $23 per 1000 impressions at Google. We have never seen over 50 cents per thousand at Chitika. Of course I can only go back a month because Chitika's system is terrible and doesn't allow you to go past 30 days.
If you are looking for a way to make money on your website, you should stick to known companies like Google Adsense and the like. The only way to make money with Chitika is to suck somone else into signing up under your affiliate ID. That's a Karma hit I don't want to get into.

It seems Dana White and Georges St.Pierre are practically part of the furniture on Canadian show 'Off The Record' hosted by Michael Landsberg these days.
This week they both made their latest appearances on the show to answer questions on a host of topics. Here's some of the highlights of what they had to say.
Dana White Interview: Part 1 & Part 2
– Dana says Josh Koscheck's allegations that GSP uses steroids was, "pretty stupid, a pretty idiotic statement." White pointed out that the UFC has some of the strictest drug testing policies of any sport, and said there wasn't a need for more frequent testing.
– The UFC president agreed that next weekend's UFC 116 title fight between Brock Lesnar and Shane Carwin is one of the biggest fights they've ever put on and, "probably the best fight in heavyweight history."
– He says that he's heard that Lesnar has had his best camp ever and now that he's 100% clear of his Diverticulitis he expects to see the best Brock Lesnar we've seen so far.
– Shane Carwin recently revealed that'll he make just $40,000 + an additional $40,000 if he wins, while Lesnar is expected to make millions when his cut of the PPV money is taken into account. Despite that White says that, "Shane's going to make a lot of money for this fight," which indicates that the UFC's infamous 'locker-room bonuses' may come into effect for Carwin.
"I don't like people knowing about the money, I don't like people knowing about our business. Believe me when I tell you, these guys make a lot of money, and believe me when I tell you, Shane Carwin's gonna make a lot of money."
– Dana says that GSP has no problem fighting Anderson Silva. He says St.Pierre told him, "If you want to make that fight – make that fight."
– White says the fight could happen, but not any time soon as he believes Silva needs to beat Chael Sonnen and perhaps also Vitor Belfort first at 185lbs, while GSP has a fight with Josh Koscheck to contend with.
He does however state that if enough people want to see this 'superfight' then he will put it together, despite his own reservations that there's too much of a size difference between the two fighters.
– Dana reiterated that Paul Daley will never fight in the UFC again, but surprisingly he did note that Kimbo Slice could yet make a return if he put a few wins together elsewhere.
White also stood firm on his claim that Chuck Liddell will never fight for the UFC again after his KO loss at UFC 115.
– He says he thinks they are closing to getting MMA sanctioned in Ontario, stating that he, "knows things you don't." Host Michael Landsberg seemed somewhat surprised by that, stating he also knew things about the situation.
Georges St.Pierre Interview: Part 1 & Part 2
– GSP seemed reluctant to talk about the possibility of facing Anderson Silva, saying that it was Josh Koscheck who was in his radar right now and he didn't want to make the mistake of overlooking him.
– St.Pierre shrugged his shoulders over Josh Koscheck's claims that he uses steroids, saying that it's "ridiculous." He also said he was open to random testing and said he liked the idea of Olympic game style tests.
– GSP recently won Spike TV's 'Most Dangerous Man' title, but the awards show it seems that the welterweight champ had his mind on other things other than collecting his trophy.
"Some of the actresses were very beautiful you know? I saw them on stage…Jessica Beil was one of them…I was like 'wow.' I didn't talk to her but many people ask me who the most beautiful Hollywood star is – I think it's Jessica Beil who is number one."
– The UFC star said he'd lose if he fought Mike Tyson in a boxing match, but if it was an MMA or a wrestling match he believes he would win.

Instead, I spent 5 1/2 hours in the dentist's chair yesterday. My dentist, Dr. Shabnam Taherian, and her whole support team at Laguna Niguel Dental Group, are excellent.
And, then last night I came across in the Nature magazine discussion section,
I do not recognise Gary Hurd's characterisation of Intelligent Design . Has he actually studied work in this field, such as that of Stephen Meyer (who has a Cambridge Ph.D. in philosophy, for what that is worth). Hurd seems typical of those who I suspect are scared of the possibility that there may really be a deeper intelligence at work in the natural, and are driven by these fears to avoid examining in a realistic way what experts such as Meyer are in fact doing." Brian Josephson
Dr. Josephson received the 1973 Noble Prize in physics, and has been crazy for a long time. So, I think that my reply to him takes precedence over those other chores.
