R4.5m to boost Matrics
WITH only a few days to go before the start of the matric preliminary exams, Limpopo pupils need all the help they can get.
And one of the banks in the country has offered the pupils a helping hand in preparation for their mathematics and physical science exams.
Nedbank, through its Fundisa Maths and Science as well as the Matric Revision programmes for the 2012 preliminary examinations, is hoping to help the pupils prepare for the preliminary examinations and the final exams.
The bank recently held special workshops in Lenyenye, a township near Tzaneen, and Groblersdal in the Sekhukhune district, supported by the Department of Basic Education to gauge the state of readiness among pupils who are part of the two programmes.
Now in its second year, the programmes is helping improve mathematics and physical science standards in high schools in Limpopo and the Eastern Cape.
Kone Gugushe, the bank's executive for corporate social responsibility, said the bank has invested about R4.5-million in the programmes for this year.
She said they have expanded this year's revision programme to reach at least a hundred schools across disadvantaged communities in Limpopo, Eastern Cape, Northern Cape, Mpumalanga and Free State.
"The provinces we have selected have largely been struggling to improve their pass rate," said Gugushe.
"Though some showed reasonable progress over the last few years, the quality of the passes had been average."
Gugushe said they had adopted a holistic approach, which would ensure that they not only supported pupils at the beginning of the year, but also ensure that they gave them the necessary support in preparation for exams.
"We seek to ensure that our efforts to contribute to a knowledge-based economy are far-reaching. We believe that the solution to the challenges in our education system requires collaboration from all stakeholders and we are certainly playing our part by adding value," she added.
Over the years the Eastern Cape, Northern Cape, Mpumalanga, Free State and Limpopo have been among the poorest performing provinces in the matric exams. - firstname.lastname@example.com
Good stuff :)Unfortunately, waiting until the last possible minute to teach kids isn't very logical. If you didn't get the grade 4 stuff then there is no foundation to build the grade 12 stuff on.

@MommaC-MorningIndeed a good gesture ...........Juts hope the pass rate will be achievable........
Report Abuse
Morning Candilious :)At 30% for a 'pass', it shouldn't be too hard to get a few through - despite Angie's bumbing
Report Abuse
Good initiative from NedBank. At least someone REALLY cares about our kids.I still maintain we need a new govt to fix what the ANC govt managed stuff up in the last 18 years.
When you see a country lowering education standards to the extent that a 30% is considered a pass just so the ministers can pat themselves on the back then you know our childrens future is doomed.
Report Abuse
30% pass rate whose the ess who came up with this idea, now where r these 30% geniuses going to for varsity, oh yeah off course how silly of me ....University of Limpopo......Report Abuse
Why in these two subjects only,what if they fail others,they better help to all subjects that's not enough help.Report Abuse
@MommaC- There are many kids who are hungry for education ,just the blerrie GVMT breaking these poor kids spirits like this is unspoken for hey.Report Abuse

First of all it was not a smart idea to go all the way to Orlando for a vehicle. Here you have an elderly lady who is quite a distance from home. You spot deliver her the vehicle and she drives off. Paperwork signed, car is delivered. The dealer did that for one reason. A sold and delivered vehicle off the lot. Now if they did or didn't know her trade would qualify for the clunker program is insignificant. They called her and told her to return the vehicle or satisfy the difference. Now if she doesn't want to pay the difference the dealer does not have the responsibility to deliver her vehicle here to her. She chooses to go up there to purchase. Either return the vehicle and get your old vehicle and money back, pay the difference or hope that they can get approval for the clunker certificate allowance. Good lesson learned here is to support your local dealers. Sometimes the cheapest deal isn't always the best deal. Your sales tax stays in your local area and help to keep jobs in your community. And no I am not a car salesman or dealer employee.

Kudos to John Roush("Professionalization is sickening college sports" Mar. 26).

We need more college presidents on the NCAA Board with the […]

The networks say the NCAA basketball, Football, Baseball and all sports ratings are up14% or better. That doesn't mean more people are watching.

The NCAA Selection Committee, in their infinite wisdom, chose eleven teams from the Big East Conference to participate in the 2011 NCAA Basketball tournament–ELEVEN! Their overzealous preference for the Big East Conference was based upon their assessment that the Big East was the toughest conference in college basketball, but the competition disproved that opinion.

Hypocrisy from the NCAA

So the NCAA is concerned about Ohio State players selling championship rings, jerseys and awards ("OSU slammed by suspensions," Dec. 24).

Poetic images of wings in combination with technical flight machines were presented in the exhibition Shadows of Wings by Ayelet Carmi. Blue feathers seem to be laid next to fragile bones. Tones of colour, changing from gray to green, regorges similar to a water fall of several meters hight into the space. Silver shining geometric elements provide orientation and become points of attraction for the eye of the observer.
Carmi takes us to a world which is dedicated to the dream of flying. Feathers and wings play a crucial role in this, as they often serve as starting point for the paintings. In plastic arts wings are often employed elements, for example in the works of Marc Chagall, Motti Misrachi and Rebecca Horn. Carmi paints a pleading for human emancipation. Her figures take fate into their own hands, by constructing flight machines in order to let the dream of flying turn to reality. Strong and brave they combine gear wheels with linkages from wood and bone, not fearing to make use of their own body, binding themselves to the constructions. The paintings are a visual expression of a dream, which is supposed to be realized through technical possibilities. Wings carry fantasies, the work tools support the bearing capacity.
The dream of flying, and the impulse of humans to find ways to realize it, is drawn through all times. In the 16th century, reflections on a birds flight inspired Leonardo Da Vinci to make technical drawings, and led in the 19th century Louis Mouillard and Otto Lielienthal to
numerous self try outs. Jules Verne challenged borders of technical possibilities through fantasy travels; fantasies which are today to some part already reality. In this way nature serves as source of inspiration and the human mind as catalyst in the realization of an ages-old dream.
In the interplay of nature and technical, Carmi's figures are torn between doubt and confidence, between resignation and hope. The longing for hight is combined with a fear of the hight. Flying augurs moments of freedom and adventure. At the same time the story of Ikarus enters the conscience. Ikarus, who with self- built wings came too close to the sun and fell from the sky. A moment of failure is always a possibility. In this way Carmi balances very skilfully on the thin line between poetic and technical, airiness and gravity, life and death.
The single elements of the images often seem delicate and breakable, but together the become a powerful unity. Only the combination of feathers, bones, bolts and slats allows wings of birds and flight machines to emerge. This is also reflected in the technique and presentation of the paintings. Carmi applies thin layers of paint on transparent plastic sheets. These are put layer on layer one above the other in that way creating new structures and visual unities.

While in some cases, the term "overdiagnosis" may be appropriate, for others (thyroid cancer and treatment of low bone mass come to mind), the issue is really not one of overdiagnosis, but of the risk/benefit ratio of the treatments used. It would be more fortuitous & accurate (but not as headline-grabbing) to cast the discussion in this light..

As the pitching landscape changes, new methods and innovations are slowly becoming more popular among experts in the profession as public relations practitioners aim to create better content. It has become necessary to determine how globalization, the economy and evolving technologies are affecting the profession and discover ways to develop better methods of communication that puts a client's or company's content in the right hands. This process entails better structuring of messaging and building relationships with the right people, thereby helping public relations professionals achieve the results they are looking for.
In this week's PRSA "Friday Five" post — an analysis of the week's biggest public relations and business news and commentary — we look at a brand new "press release" that could change the way companies make big announcements and delve into numerous expert opinions on how to position content (even during a client's slow period) to garner placements. We also take a closer look at the role that larger global issues are playing in the development of quality content.

Jessica Simpson has one of the biggest baby bumps in Hollywood -- leading some to believe she's got an extra bun in the oven.
During an appearance on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" on Monday, the 31-year-old "Fashion Star" mentor finally put rumors to rest. "No, it's not twins," Simpson said. "I know it looks like it."
PHOTOS: Jessica Simpson and other nude, pregnant celebs
When Jay Leno, 61, joked that Simpson looked like she might give birth any minute, she replied: "Not quite yet. We have some time."
Adding that she's "waddling at this point," Simpson pointed out that she was wearing sky-high heels. "It's a lot of weight to carry on six inches!"
PHOTOS: Jessica Simpson's weight ups and downs
Simpson, who is expecting a baby girl with fiance Eric Johnson this spring, admitted she's nervous about giving birth. "Labor is really going to hurt," she told Leno. "I have so much respect for my mom and all the women across the world."
PHOTOS: Jessica Simpson's chic maternity style
The pregnant star also explained why she and Johnson, 32, have yet to tie the knot. "I want him to be my husband so bad," she laughed. "I do still want to wear the pretty gown, so I have to wait."
Simpson then pointed to her belly an added: "Now she'll just be in the wedding."

Reese Witherspoon Will Check Ten Items Off Disney's 'Wish List'
Casting Couch By Kate Erbland on August 2, 2011 | Comments (1)Reese Witherspoon has just signed on to star in Disney's Wish List, which focuses on "an overly imaginative little girl who makes ten wishes at a wishing well," but those wishes never come true because her coin never reaches the well's bottom. Somehow, it takes twenty-five years for that pesky coin to shake loose and, when it does, the now-adult little girl (Witherspoon) is faced with all of her wishes coming true at once. First of all, what sort of wishing well grants ten wishes per coin? Also, what sort of wishing well has enough nooks and crannies that coins can stay lodged in them for a quarter of a century? I just fail to understand the mechanics of this supposed "magic" well. Who is building these things these days? Elves? Just shoddy magical construction, all around. In any case, hijinx will surely ensue as Witherspoon's character, now a career-focused adult, must handle the onslaught of wish fulfillment at its most unexpected. I will be legitimately shocked if one of those wishes is not for a pony, possibly even a unicorn.

Matthew McConaughey tied the knot with longtime girlfriend Camila Alves at an intimate ceremony in Texas.
The pair wed before close friends and family in Austin on Saturday evening.
They started dating in 2006, and the Brazilian model is the mother of his two children.
Last year, McConaughey, 42, said while there were no immediate plans to get married, that did not make them any less committed.
"Maybe one day ... maybe something down the line at the right time," he told CNN's Piers Morgan.
"To do that, you have to really feel it. You have to really want to move forward to those things. Right now we are wonderfully happy, healthy. I get no pressure."
McConaughey and Alves, 30, got engaged in December.
McConaughey has appeared in several movies, including "The Wedding Planner" and "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days."

2010 NBA Mock Draft – Top 10 Prospects, Vol. 2
John Wall still leads the pack, but there's been plenty of movement behind him.
Not surprisingly there's been plenty of changes since we last did our 2010 NBA mock draft. But one thing remains unchanged — John Wall is the man. In today's 24/7 media world, players' warts get exposed pretty quickly and "experts" tend to sour on prospects just as fast. So saying Wall is still head and shoulders above the rest of the pack is really saying something.
While Wall continues to be a rock (rock wall?!) at No. 1, the rest of the top 10 has changed considerably since we last did a mock draft in December. We have a few new additions to the list, a couple of guys who have fallen off, and a new consensus No. 2 prospect who looks to be almost as much of a lock as Wall is.
(Previous ranking in brackets)
1. (1) John Wall | PG | Kentucky | Freshman
Conference play hasn't slowed down John Wall one bit — he just missed out on a triple-double last week versus Mississippi State (18 points, 10 rebounds, eight assists). He's still turnover prone and isn't much of a threat shooting from outside, but Wall still remains a lock to go first overall. He isn't a lock, however, to win the various National Player of the Year awards this season due to the guy coming up next in our mock draft.
2. (5) Evan Turner | SG | Ohio State | Junior
Evan Turner was ranked lower in our first mock draft because he had just recently broken his back and his status was up in the air. Well Turner has made us doubters no more — he's actually played even better since recovering from the injury and is now the consensus choice to go second overall in the draft. A shooting guard in the Brandon Roy mold, Turner, like Wall, also needs to improve his outside shot. But how can you argue with a statline like this (remember — despite naturally being a shooting guard he is playing the point this year): 19.5 ppg, 9.3 rpg, 5.8 apg? Ladies and gentlemen, your National Player of the Year.
3. (2) Derrick Favors | PF | Georgia Tech | Freshman
Size? Check. Wingspan? Check. Athleticism? Check. Upside? Check. Good attitude? Check. Derrick Favors fills in all the categories on your "perfect NBA prospect checklist". And his 21-point, 18-rebound performance versus Maryland the other day helps too. In a draft minus John Wall he would be in the running to go first overall. Still, he'll be a nice consolation prize for a team that doesn't win the lottery.
4. (NR) DeMarcus Cousins | PF/C | Kentucky | Freshman
The player whose stock has risen the most dramatically since we last did a mock draft is John Wall's teammate, DeMarcus Cousins. There are still concerns over his attitude/work ethic and his level of athleticism, but Cousins' size, strength, ability to score inside and out, rebounding ability and knack for drawing fouls has gotten the NBA's attention.
5. (4) Al-Farouq Aminu | SF | Wake Forest | Sophomore
Al-Farouq Aminu's decision to return to Wake Forest for his sophomore year has proven to be a wise one. He is having an outstanding season as the leader of the Demon Deacons and has improved his draft stock in the process. Possessing great size for a small forward (6-9 215 lbs), he is a terrific rebounder, is great at drawing fouls and is a versatile threat on the floor. If he can improve his ball-handling and outside shot, the sky is the limit.
6. (NR) Hassan Whiteside | C | Marshall | Freshman
From a virtual unknown to a top 10 prospect, Hassan Whiteside has enjoyed a meteoric rise the past few months. But that's what happens when you're an athletic 7-footer (with a 7-6 wingspan) who is blocking more than five shots a game. He's still more prospect than pro, but given time Whiteside could be a gem.
7. (8) Wesley Johnson | SF | Syracuse | Junior
After a blazing start to the season, Wesley Johnson has cooled off in February. He is still a solid NBA prospect with good athleticism and length who can knock down threes, block shots and rebound. But at 22-years-old (23 in July) he is a greybeard in the world of NBA prospects.
8. (7) Ed Davis | PF | North Carolina | Sophomore
A nightmare season in Chapel Hill just got worse for Ed Davis — a broken wrist will keep him out of action for the rest of the year. That also is bad news for his draft stock. If he still chooses to enter this June's draft he will no doubt be a top 10 pick due to his size and potential, but he is still a work in progress.
9. (3) Donatas Motiejunas | PF | Benetton Treviso | 1990
His draft stock has fallen considerably since we last checked in, but versatile, athletic 7-footers like Donatas Motiejunas don't grow on trees (well, maybe they do in Europe, but they certainly don't over here). He may not be the next Dirk, but he could be the next Bargnani.
10. (9) Cole Aldrich | Center | Kansas | Junior
He may not be a flashy pro, but Cole Aldrich could have the longest NBA career of any player on this list. He will provide size, strength, rebounding and shot-blocking to whichever team picks him. He should have a better career than Eric Montross, right?!
Fallen out of the top 10: Willie Warren, Xavier Henry.

Conan O'Brien has told '60 Minutes' reporter Steve Kroft that he has no regrets about the decisions he made in recent months especially around his departure from the Tonight Show.
"I don't regret one decision I made in that week-and-a-half period. I wish it had ended differently. But, I'm fine. I do believe, and this might be my Catholic upbringing or Irish magical thinking, but I think things happen for a reason. I really do. And I think that this all happened for a reason."
"I have not resolved all my issues," he tells Kroft. "I am mostly very happy. I love this tour -- it's the most thrilling thing I've done in my career. And so I'm in a really great place in a lot of ways. But I'd be lying if I said I don't have my moments of everything, you know, anger, disappointment, frustration and just confusion."
O'Brien says people come up to him and say, "'Hey partner, you got screwed.' ... I always tell them, 'No, I didn't. I didn't get screwed. I'm fine. It just didn't work out.' But I don't want people thinking, you know, that I got screwed. Because it just didn't work out."
Hey it is all about the ratings. When Jay Leno nor Conan O'Brien got the ratings for their respective shows the tv execs went back to what worked before. After all the hype the Jay Leno show was not new at all and competing with good shows in the 10 pm time slot. Nor was Conan's show much different from his other show. Yawn. Personally I don't think Conan is all that funny but I blame the writers for the material he has to spout. It was just bad tv all around.

In case you missed it, Fox and Friends host Gretchen Carlson walked off the set yesterday following a sexist joke made by co-host Brian Kilmeade.
In response to a line from Steve Doocy about how the US Navy Sea Chanters have included women since 1980, Kilmeade quipped, "women are everywhere. We're letting them play golf and tennis now. It's out of control."
"You know what? You read the headlines! Take them away!" responded Carlson, smiling as she walked off the set.
Carlson's choice to smile as she left the set has been met with mixed interpretations, with Mediaite calling it "faux outrage" and The Frisky saying she walked off "Jokingly" while others like Jezebel and Think Progress reading nothing into her smile.
Sexism, or for that matter racism, homophobia, or any other hatred-inspired bigotry on Fox News aren't exactly rare occurrences. So it's not entirely clear if the show's lone female host was smiling in jest or in an effort to maintain composure. My money is on her finally realizing her co-hosts would rather she stay in the kitchen, and by extension, that the network represents a political stance that isn't exactly in her best interests. If not, she's beyond help.

Wrapping up our week-long series on dance, we look today at some of the most recent dance crazes to arrive via hip-hop, from the Dougie to the Cat Daddy. To help school us in the latest moves, we're joined by New York-based dancer and choreographer Joey Dowling, as well as California-based hip hop dancer Brice Johnson, who teaches the masses about the latest street dance crazes via YouTube under the alias "Professor Lock." Plus, we'll take your calls about the various dance crazes you've lived through over the years.
Learn how to "Cat Daddy" from Professor Lock, a.k.a. Brice Johnson.
I REMEBER my babysitter taught me the Macarena, and I was super pumped to show off my new skills at the Middle School dance. Unfortunately, in a room full of adolescent white kids, nobody else joined me- the only "dancing" that happened was when a few boys got applause for nodding their heads to the beat. I went home disappointed and embarrassed.
How could you not mention the 'cha cha slide', 'chicken noodle soup', & 'the humpty dance' ??!!!
For people like me, who hopelessly lack rhythm, zumba is painful and humiliating.
Don't know how the dance goes, but love the song "Tighten Up" by Archie Bell and the Drells.
After hearing the story told a few days ago about the DC punks coming to NY and introducing Slam Dancing to the scene it reminded me of a similar story that occurred for me in the early 90's. The NY rave scene went down to our first rave in DC. The NY scene had a distinct dancing style at that time sort of a more liquid form of popping and locking based on the rave stage dancers from the UK. The New Yorkers all gathered on and around a speaker stand in one corner of the room. All of us dancing our NY style. By the end of the night the entire warehouse was dancing in the NY style completely transforming DC's style of dance from then on.
The Bump! Do the Bump!!
Also, one of my favorite "how to do it" songs, The Madison, features in John Water's Hairspray.
I grew up in Bay Ridge Bklyn in the 70's, but I was NOT a part of the disco scene. If you lived in Bay Ridge you were either a "cusine" or a "hick". We Irish kids were the hicks, and we were not much for dancing. At high school dances, the boys sat it out (or smoked pot outside). The girls did "The Pony." which, as I recall, was jogging in place while sort of swimming out our arms in front of us. Painful.
is noone doing the soulja boy anymore? took me weeks to learn it and now i feel like an old man. back to the electric slide for me i guess.
we did the 'alley cat' endlessly at my first holy communion
is not one doing the soulja boy anymore? took me weeks to learn it and now i feel like an old man.
When I was in 5th grade growing up in the midwest, it was the Hustle.
In the mid 80's my African-American friends took me to the Garage on King Street. Before we went, my friends taught me a dance called the "Patty Duke," which I can do to this day but can't explain how to do.

If you go back and actually study the 1950's there are actually some surprises. That is when there was a jump in "juvenile crime". There was a what they called a "disturbing trend" starting around 1957 towards "wantonly random brutal crimes". Yet church going families were over 70% of the families in America.
Sociologists would probably have a hard time backing some of the suppositions that people like to make... about the removal of "god" from the schools, etc. being responsible for this behavior, or the "number of abortions" since those have been dropping in the last several years.
I don't take "Dakota's" statements at face value because he/she doesn't back them with actual statistics, just a vague feeling about a "cause and effect"... which doesn't stand up to examination.
I truly don't know what to make of people like yourself. You give the impression that you actually care and then you make (I promise no matter what you say, I will be very civil to you), silly statements that imply intelligence and careful scrutiny. If you go to this website http://homicides.redeyechicago.com/ you will find a snapshot (akin to a grain of sand snapshot) of what living without God looks like.
Sociologists have an answer and a label for everything that happens in a society, but are absolutely clueless as to how to fix it. You and I both know that the numbers will always bear me out, what truly troubles you is the absolute failure of your humanistic worldview fixing anything, let alone give you a whiff of proof that life without God is better than one with Him.
It was Solomon, the richest and wisest man to ever exist who said, human pursuit devoid of God is vanity.

Slate writer Jill Hunter Pellettieri recoils against these and other misguided attempts to use every last shred of leftover turkey in her article, Let Leftovers Be Leftovers.
She writes, Do you really want to morph the centerpiece of your most ceremonial meal of the year into turkey bundles (stuffed with turkey, cream cheese, dill weed, and water chestnuts, among other things). Read on for her answer to leftover turkey...She believes that you should let your turkey live out its natural life, get eaten happily out of Tupperware containers along with leftover stuffing, and not be subjected to the contortions of moo shu turkey.
When you're sick of turkey, you're sick of it. The sight of that Tupperware, once the source of so much joy, will become grim and unappetizing.
What about you? Do you have mounds of leftover turkey? Do you look forward to slotting it into leftover recipes, or do you just look forward to a good turkey and gravy sandwich?

Re: CAN-SPAM Act Rulemaking, Project No. R411008 To the Commissioners, Below is a well worded letter to explain reasons why this proposed requirement for merchants to maintain suppression lists would be a mistake. Yes I agree that spam is awful, but I can see by my inbox alone today, that what you are suggesting will not change the messages I'm getting at all. The reason is, my inbox is full from illegal scams, viruses and outright attempts to steal my bank information from me. The REAL problem for me, is that there is no place to report these frauds to, and no authority to prosecute these people, because they are outside of our country and hiding, even using proxy email addresses to circulate this garbage. I don't mind getting honest ads in my inbox, but I DO mind the subject lines that put x rated visuals in my mind before I even open them. That means even my kids can't check my mail. There are many ways you CAN help us but this measure is DEFINITELY NOT one of them. I have not yet become an Internet marketer, although I am just beginning. I have started a free, Christian newsletter, and although I don't sell anything from my site at this time, I would like to do so in the future. I will not be able to do this if this measure is passed, because of the time and knowledge required to comply. This means that you are making it impossible for me to use the Internet to legitimately help my family meet our financial needs. Quite possibly, this measure would force honest advertisers to give in to pressure to use those dishonest mass spammer companies out of the country to spread their messages too. This would ADD to the problem not stop it. Spam exists because of supply and demand. Spam will die out a natural death IF everyone treated it as a matter of supply and demand. IF people stop clicking on the ads in their inbox, there would be no feedback of supply to keep people advertising. Traffic Exchanges and member only safelists are the advertising medium of the future for entreprenuers, but for the general public, MUCH needs to be done and you need to get detailed information about the type of problems people are having BEFORE attempting to make legislation that would cover a wide area. This is not something that you can put a legislative bandaid on and expect it to be one size fits all. If I can be of service to you, please contact me. *REDACTED PERSONAL INFORMATION* If you know of an agency I can forward these illegal scam emails to, please let me know. Thank you and God bless you. Lisa Tyler Georgia, USA I applaud your efforts to curb the problem of unsolicited bulk email. However, I am concerned about the proposed requirement for merchants to maintain suppression lists. There are so many problems and costs associated with this idea, and so much damage done to consumers and businesses alike, that I feel I must urge you to consider this matter most carefully. Requirement of the use of suppression lists will seriously damage many of the legitimate publications available on the net. My specific concern is for harm to publishers who require permission from the consumer prior to adding them to any list. They're not who CAN-SPAM was designed to put out of business, but this requirement will very likely have that effect. There's also the potential for significant harm to consumers, because of the problem of properly knowing their intent when they unsubscribe from a list. On top of that, these suppression lists could easily fall into the hands of spammers, leading to more spam instead of less. I was quite surprised at the potential problems this ruling could involve, and urge you in the strongest possible terms to reconsider its implementation in light of these problems, Respectfully, Your Name Your State and Country

A profound experience that I have had that has raised my social consciousness and given me motive to be altruistic was a movie that I watched in high school called Darius Goes West. At the time of the movie, Darius Weems was a fifteen-year-old with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy who travelled across America with his best friends in the hopes that MTV would pimp out his wheelchair like they do in the show Pimp My Ride. I watched this movie in a psychology class, and the whole class was so moved by the film that we got an assembly time approved at the end of the day so that the whole school could watch the film. It helped raise awareness of this disease and the hardships involved with being in a wheelchair.
When I think of altruism, this film comes to my mind because of the loving friends that Darius had. They travelled across the country with him and took him to all the places in the world that he wanted to see. They even helped him take his first swim in the Pacific Ocean. Through the help of his friends and various other people they meet along the way, it is touching to see how much people really do want to help. And they don't want to help out just to be on TV; they actually want to help this boy get the most out of his life and show him that he really can still enjoy life even though he is bound to a wheelchair.
I think that altruism persists because of people's values. Most people feel in their hearts that it is important to help each other out for no self gain. Maybe not everyone feels that way, but I think that most do. Even if it is a small gesture, I think it is still considered altruistic. To me it doesn't have to mean trying to save the world; it just means being nice to people and helping them out in whatever way possible. To me, the fact that altruism can be great or small is how it persists. It just takes a little bit of effort.

6 S. J St., Lake Worth, FL 33460
(561) 547-7273
After a considerable number of personnel shakeups behind the scenes during its two years in business, Lake Worth's Propaganda has managed to keep its footing and its finger on the pulse. The legendary South Florida emocore act Further Seems Forever chose the spot to host its first show in six years, and countless local acts have relied on the tried-and-true sound in the room to show off their best live traits on a stage that's visible from every vantage point. With a new emphasis on craft beers, the dark and smoky room can easily stake a claim to an environment just as refined for drinking as it is for listening.

The four that were to be compared. |
Homemade pudding is simply cornstarch, sugar, milk, a touch of salt, and vanilla extract. |
Always add any flavorings (in this case, vanilla extract) after it has thickened and the heat is turned off. That way, the flavor doesn't cook out. Pudding #1? Done. |
Instant is easy-peasy: simply add milk and beat the hell out of it; I used a hand mixer. |
About seven minutes later, it was done. Pudding #2, done. |
Last one! |
Again, all you do is add milk and then stir it a lot, get it to boil, and you're done. |
See? Done. |
Clockwise from the top: the super-white one is the homemade pudding, then there's the Snack Pack pudding, then the cook & serve pudding, and finally at 9 o' clock is the instant pudding. |

UPDATE: THE Clarence River at Grafton, in NSW, appears to have peaked just 2cm below the top of the levee wall.
Sam Colwell of the Clarence-Nambucca State Emergency Service said the river was believed to have peaked at midday at a record level of 8.08m.
"It's looking reasonably safe at this stage. Even if did overtop in some places, there's a tiny bit of extra room on the freeboard, so it's just a little trickle, not catastrophic," she said.
The levee was breached along some parts of the wall but Clarence Valley Mayor Richie Williamson said council workers contained it with sandbags and were now concentrating on towns downstream, including Iluka, Yamba, Ulmarra and Maclean.
"It's looking more positive but the situation is still very dire. It's improving for Grafton and our attention is now on Ulmarra and the levee system around Maclean," Mr Williamson said.
Premier Barry O'Farrell will visit the flood evacuation centre at South Grafton High School this afternoon.
This is the fourth time the Clarence has flooded in the past four years.
"This is a sight that has never been seen by white man. The Clarence has never been recorded above 7.9m, it's an awesome spectacle and still a very dangerous thing," Mr Williamson said.
"Whilst the attention is still on the flood itself, it will very quickly move to the recovery phase, which is often very long and drawn out, and over time we are going to need some assistance."
As the threat recedes in Grafton, crews are working across the state to restore power to thousands of properties after trees and debris became tangled in powerlines.
More than 19,000 homes are blacked out in the area stretching from Kempsey on the mid-north coast, right up to the Queensland border.
Essential Energy said a helicopter will hopefully be patrolling areas isolated by floodwaters in the Byron hinterland by this afternoon and extra crews from across the state are being deployed to boost the recovery effort.
With damage to high voltage powerlines and service lines to individual homes, acting regional general manager Daniel Bylsma said it might be some time before all residents were reconnected.
"Our main efforts are focused on restoring power for as many customers as quickly and safely as we possibly can, but it may be several days before all supply is restored to outlying areas and individual residences," he said in a statement.
Meanwhile, across Sydney and the Central Coast, Ausgrid crews are working to restore power to more than 300 homes after heavy downpours and strong winds brought down trees and branches.
"They are getting through them as quickly as they can," a spokesman from the electricity company told AAP.
Power is back for all homes and businesses in Forestville and Frenchs Forest in Sydney's north, after a fault on high voltage equipment cut off power to more than 1100 properties for two hours this morning.
But in Bankstown, in Sydney's southwest, 1900 people lost supply this morning after a fault in an underground cable.
SES spokesman Phil Campbell later said floodwaters had isolated more than 41,000 people across the state, including 18,000 in the Tweed Valley.
Seven-metre waves at the mouth of the Tweed River were creating "a dam" so floodwaters were having "a bit of trouble getting out", Mr Campbell said.
No properties were in danger, he said, and some of those cut off could expect to regain full access to roads and properties in the next three to 12 hours.
Across NSW, there have been 48 flood rescues and more than 3500 calls for help.
In Grafton, it would be some time before the SES would let people back into their homes, Mr Campbell said.
"We need to be confident that there is going to be no unforeseen second peak.
"It might not be until tomorrow until some people can get back."

Where have all the manners gone? |
Even my Siamese cat has learned to say please. When the urge for a bit of cooked fish becomes a problem she calls and stretches on the work top. For a thank you she licks my nose, by no means a treat if the fish was more than a day old. Our Persian cat does not bother. He spends his time looking beautiful and super clean. Not a mean task for a Persian. That breed looks like its founder members had run into a brick wall at 100kms an hour. Hence the constant care of a fairly non-existent nose that nevertheless leaks constantly. But it is good manners to look as clean and well turned out as can be. Manners are the oil that makes the wheels of modern society turn; if not smoothly at least roughly. A bread and butter letter to thank someone who had given you a bed for a night or a meal on a cold day does not cost very much. A smile costs you a split second to offer a friendly face to someone in distress. It also exercises 40 muscles of your face. We are not talking about money there. The photo attached shows how two cultures can meet happily and with manners. Chris is asking our little neighbour, Antonio, where his father is in the procession of Good Thursday. Antonio obliged and showed us the brochure. Very proud Antonio was and so were we, the foreign neighbours. |
