(1) That the parolee may not, during the period of his or her parole, violate any criminal law of this or any other state or of the United States;
(2) That the parolee may not, during the period of his or her parole, leave the state without the consent of the Division of Corrections;
(3) That the parolee complies with the rules prescribed by the Division of Corrections for his or her supervision by the parole officer;
(4) That in every case in which the parolee for a conviction is seeking parole from an offense against a child, defined in section twelve, article eight, chapter sixty-one of this code, or article eight-b or eight-d of said chapter, or similar convictions from other jurisdictions where the parolee is returning or attempting to return to this state pursuant to the provisions of article six, chapter twenty-eight of this code, the parolee may not live in the same residence as any minor child nor exercise visitation with any minor child nor may he or she have any contact with the victim of the offense; and
(5) That the parolee, and all federal or foreign state probationers and parolees whose supervision may have been undertaken by this state, pay a fee, based on his or her ability to pay, not to exceed $40 per month to defray the costs of supervision.
(b) The Commissioner of Corrections shall keep a record of all actions taken and account for moneys received. All moneys shall be deposited in a special account in the State Treasury to be known as the Parolee's Supervision Fee Fund. Expenditures from the fund shall be for the purposes of providing the parole supervision required by the provisions of this code and are not authorized from collections, but are to be made only in accordance with appropriation by the Legislature and in accordance with the provisions of article three, chapter twelve of this code and upon the fulfillment of the provisions set forth in article two, chapter five-a of this code. Amounts collected which are found, from time to time, to exceed the funds needed for purposes set forth in this article may be transferred to other accounts or funds and redesignated for other purposes by appropriation of the Legislature.
(c) The Division of Corrections shall consider the following factors in determining whether a parolee or probationer is financially able to pay the fee:
(1) Current income prospects for the parolee or probationer, taking into account seasonal variations in income;
(2) Liquid assets of the parolee or probationer, assets of the parolee or probationer that may provide collateral to obtain funds and assets of the parolee or probationer that may be liquidated to provide funds to pay the fee;
(3) Fixed debts and obligations of the parolee or probationer, including federal, state and local taxes and medical expenses;
(4) Child care, transportation and other reasonably necessary expenses of the parolee or probationer related to employment; and

(d) In addition, the Division of Corrections may impose, subject to modification at any time, any other conditions which the division considers advisable.
(e) The Division of Corrections may order substance abuse treatment as a condition or as a modification of parole, only if the standardized risk and needs assessment indicates the offender has a high risk for reoffending and a need for substance abuse treatment.
(f) The Division of Corrections may impose, as an initial condition of parole, a term of reporting to a day report center or other community corrections program only if the standardized risk and needs assessment indicates a moderate to high risk of reoffending and moderate to high criminogenic need. Any parolee required to report to a day report center or other community corrections program is subject to all the rules and regulations of the center or program and may be removed at the discretion of the center's or program's director. The Commissioner of Corrections shall enter into a master agreement with the Division of Justice and Community Services to provide reimbursement to counties for the use of community corrections programs by eligible parolees. Any placement by the Division of Corrections of a parolee in a day report center or other community corrections program may only be done with the center or program director's consent and the parolee is subject to all of the rules and regulations of the center or program and may be removed by the director.

The Stone Carvers
The Canadian National Vimy Memorial sits on a preserved battlefield in France where the Canadian Expeditionary Force took part in the Battle of Vimy Ridge during World War I. The huge marble monument took 11 years to build and has giant human sculptures representing sacrifice, mourning, and strength and includes over 11,000 names of Canadian soldiers missing in action.
In Jane Urquhart's novel The Stone Carvers, we meet three fictional people who wind up working on this magnificent monument. Their lives are transformed both by the beauty of art and the horrors of war.
Klara and Tilman Becker grow up in rural Canada in a German immigrant community at the turn of the century. Their grandfather is a wood carver with high hopes for Tilman to learn the master craft. While Tilman has a natural carving ability, he is proves unable to stay on the farm. Even as early as 12, Tilman must migrate. Nothing his family does can keep him on the farm, not even a chain.
Klara learns to carve from her grandfather and how to tailor at an early age. She remains deeply rooted on the farm, earning a living for herself and her father. But even steadfast Klara is eventually moved by both personal grief and the greater losses of a county deeply wounded by war.
This book isn't about World War I specifically (you learn very little about the actual Battle of Vimy Ridge), but instead it is about overcoming grief even if that grief is indeterminable. I found myself cheering on the characters when they had trouble articulating in a relationship. In that sense, I am reminded of Erdrich's The Master Butchers Singing Club and one of my all time favorites Deafening by Frances Itani. Both of these novels are also set in immigrant communities rural areas (one in North Dakota and one in Canada) and have characters who participate in World War I. The themes of language, communication and sound in Deafening specifically are truly amazing. I hope rural World War I novels don't seem too obscure!

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
This lesson incorporates graphic novels to help students expand their reading, writing, research, and technology skills. Students first read graphic novels to become familiar with the text structure, then research a self-selected topic using web-based resources. Students follow the research process and synthesize the information they obtained to create their graphic novel using the Comic Life software or other comic software. This unit works best with students who are already familiar with writing a research paper.
- Research Report: Informational Graphic Novel Rubric: This rubric provides an overview of the graphic novel research project in this lesson.
- Research Report: Self-Evaluation of Graphic Novel: This sheet encourages students to reflect on their final graphic novels.

The design of this website has been done by my friend's web solution firm - "Aribiss". Since the website is a dynamic website and involves tremendous volume of coding, it is taking him a little time to complete. Although it is apparently completed, still there are certain designing issues which requires to be done. The work is in process.
About the official website of "About German Shepherd Dog"
About German Shepherd Dog is an online portal dedicated to German Shepherd lovers across the globe.

School leaders might appear in area neighborhoods as a rebounding district maps out spending for the 2014-15 year.
As new leadership works to reestablish trust with a skeptical community, the district will host several forums for the public to learn and participate in the budget process.
Moving forward, the budget planning process will also begin earlier and include a soon-to-be-formed 10-member committee appointed by the School Board that will help facilitate the public forums for community members, Deputy Superintendent Don Hall told board members Monday.
"Let's say we go to the Dream Center and we hold a special session there and invite the community in," said Hall, who also spoke about bringing bilingual translators to forums geared toward the Hispanic community.
The School Board will also bring back a citizens' budget committee that will be able to influence line items for the first time. But the new committee will be a far cry from former groups that met with district staff for long discussions about dollars, Hall said.
The team will be largely responsible for listening to and formulating data on public opinion about the school system and its spending. School leaders also made it clear Monday that the budget will directly correlate to new operational and academic plans that new district teams are developing. Superintendent Rick Mills has previously said that these plans are key to streamlining district schools, which have historically operated in silos.
"The strategic plan, the academic plan and the budget are all being developed in concert with each other," said new director of Planning and Performance Management Robert Johnson on Monday.
Hall said these plans will be shared with and incorporated into the community forums, where the public can ask and receive answers to questions, unlike the public comment sections of School Board meetings where officials do not typically respond to speakers.
The forums are scheduled for late October and November.
Also at the meeting:
Less than a month after the district approved state-funded raises for teachers and district-funded raises for municipal employees and paraprofessionals, the School Board approved a 2 percent raise for remaining staff members, such as clerical employees.
"It's designed for anyone who didn't fall into those two buckets," Hall said Monday.
Like other employees, these staff members are scheduled to see raises in Oct. 10 paychecks.
The money for those raises come from the financially recovery plan the district adopted last year, primarily by cutting district staff and teachers, as well as closing Central High School and the old Manatee Technical Institute campus.
Senior management -- the highest paid administrators here -- will not receive a raise this year.
Despite beating out more than 800 competitors to earn a finalist position for a federal grant last year, the school district narrowly missed securing millions in "Race to the Top" funding for a district initiative to outfit elementary schools with Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics labs.
Currently, 11 schools here have such "STEM" labs, and Manatee County is one of few school districts in the nation that has pitched teaching "college and career readiness" skills at a younger level.
On Monday, the School Board allowed a collaborative team that included Adult Career & Technical Education director Doug Wagner and Manatee Education Association President Pat Barber to reapply for up to $30 million in funding.
District to host budget forums

Transportation Security Administration (TSA) checkpoint screeners are receiving training to prepare them for the possibility of a mass shooting at one of the agency's airport checkpoints, and those TSA personnel are being instructed to "save themselves" should a shooting occur.
It is unclear whether the TSA is conducting the reported mass shooting scenario training at airports around the nation or only at the airport where our source, a veteran of the TSA, is assigned. The TSA source claims with obvious concern that his own life, along with the lives of other unarmed TSA personnel, would be in grave danger were an airport checkpoint shooting to unfold.
The TSA screener, who claims to have recently undergone agency training during which TSA personnel were confronted with a chilling checkpoint shooting scenario, now tries to remain aware of how to get out alive were such a shooting to unfold.
"Every day when I arrive for work, I look for an escape route in case someone opens fire," said the TSA worker. "We have been told to save ourselves."
Does the TSA already have intelligence about a possible future checkpoint shooting?

Accused "Dark Knight" killer James Holmes was formally charged Monday with two first-degree murder counts for each of the 12 people fatally shot during Colorado's movie theater rampage.
The dual charges -- 24 counts in all -- break down as "murder with deliberation" and killing with "extreme indifference to the value of human life." That allows the prosecution two paths in pursuing a possible death sentence should Holmes mount a successful insanity defense, NBC News reported.
Murder with deliberation covers premeditated murder while extreme indifference to the value of human life covers actions that show "an attitude of universal malice," NBC News reported.
U.S. & World
Holmes was also charged with 116 counts of attempted murder in the shooting which wounded 58 people, as well as one count of possession of explosives.
For more coverage of the hearing visit NBCNews.com.
Police say the 24-year-old former doctoral student booby-trapped his suburban Denver apartment with explosives before opening fire on theatergoers for the July 20 premiere of the new Batman film. Authorities later removed the explosives during a painstaking operation.
Holmes appeared less dazed during his court appearance Monday than he had for last week's advisement hearing, according to reports. His dyed red hair was slicked down his head, The New York Times reported. Unlike the first appearance, cameras were barred from the courtroom.
Some survivors of the mass shooting attended Holmes' arraignment wearing Batman t-shirts, the New York Daily News reported.
The only times Holmes spoke was when he answered "yes" after being asked if he agreed to waive his right to a preliminary hearing within 35 days, the Denver Post reported. He did not enter a plea.
The charges broke down as one count of murder and one count of "murder of extreme indifference," for each victim, NBC News' Mike Taibbi reported.
Holmes is being held in solitary confinement at a detention facility about 13 miles from Aurora's Century 16 theaters, site of the killings.
Last Monday, police and FBI agents recovered a package sent by Holmes to the University of Colorado medical school, which contained writings about killing people. Authorities found the package in the school's mailroom after acting on a tip from Holmes, NBC News reported.
Lawyers were expected to argue at today's hearing over a defense motion to find out who leaked information about the package to the media, the AP reported.
Meanwhile, court documents filed Friday by defense lawyers showed that Holmes was a patient of a University of Colorado psychiatrist before the attack.
Holmes allegedly set off gas canisters in the early minutes of "The Dark Knight Rises," then sprayed the room with bullets while dressed all in black and outfitted in body armor and a gas mask. Witnesses said that at first they mistook the gunman for a planned part of the show — but then "mass chaos" broke out. Amid the terror, there emerged stories of heroism: theatergoers who sacrificed themselves to protect their loved ones. Holmes was arrested outside the theater with four guns, all purchased legally, and told police he was the Batman villain "the Joker."http://media.nbcnewyork.com/assets/pdk449/pdk/swf/flvPlayer.swf?pid=btMxCJGNXPWA

Holmes' hair was still dyed red and orange at his initial appearance in court last week. He appeared dazed and gave little indication that he was paying attention to the proceedings. The hearing lasted no more than 12 minutes before he was led out of the courtroom in handcuffs.
The appearance marked the first step in what will likely be a years-long slog through the criminal justice system, including exhaustive reviews of his mental health.
Lawyers' first big legal hurdle is to determine whether Holmes is competent to stand trial – that he understands the charges against him, and that he can assist in his own defense.
That process alone can take months. If he's found incompetent, he must be sent to a state mental hospital for treatment.
"Virtually everyone initially found to be incompetent is at some point found to be restored to competency," said Patrick Furman, a University of Colorado law professor. The rare exceptions, he said, typically come in cases in which the defendant is severely developmentally disabled.
When and if Holmes is deemed by a judge to be fit for trial, then his lawyers will likely plead not guilty by reason of insanity, setting in motion many more months of legal proceedings, Furman said.
Holmes could face the death penalty, but District Attorney Carol Chambers said such a decision would be made in consultation with victims' families.

It seems like every band and actor in America wants to be associated with Fox's breakout musical comedy, "Glee."
That is, almost every band.
Tennessee rockers Kings of Leon revealed in a recent interview with an English music magazine that they'd turned down a chance to have their music featured on the hit show for fear of "selling out", reports Entertainment Weekly.
U.S. & World
The band members told NME that they have not seen the show though "apparently everybody loves it" said band member Jared Followill.
The band seems determined to maintain creative control over its music, popular trends be damned.
"We could have sold out so much more. We turn stuff down constantly," said lead singer Caleb Followill. "We had some people call us up wanting to know if we'd allow 'Use Somebody' to appear in the trailer for their next movie, and we turned them down."
The boys also rejected a cameo on ABC's "Ugly Betty."
"The wanted us to play ourselves," Caleb said. "We were supposed to come in and help her out with some problem or other."
But it looks like the band went back on their word at least once. "Gossip Girl" used "Sex on Fire," "Closer," and, yes, "Use Somebody" in an episode of the show.

The New Shadow
This article or section needs expansion and/or modification. Please help the wiki by expanding it.
The New Shadow was an incomplete sequel (approximately 13 pages) to The Lord of the Rings that Tolkien quickly abandoned. It is set in the time of Eldarion, Elessar's son, approximately 105 years after the Fall of the Dark Tower. In it is mentioned the Dark Tree, and two characters: Saelon and Borlas.
Tolkien commented this on it:
- "I did begin a story placed about 100 years after the Downfall, but it proved both sinister and depressing. Since we are dealing with Men it is inevitable that we should be concerned with the most regrettable feature of their nature: their quick satiety with good. So that the people of Gondor in times of peace, justice and prosperity, would become discontented and restless — while the dynasts descended from Aragorn would become just kings and governers — like Denethor or worse. I found that even so early there was an outcrop of revolutionary plots, about a centre of secret Satanistic religion; while Gondorian boys were playing at being Orcs and going around doing damage. I could have written a 'thriller' about the plot and its discovery and overthrow — but it would have been just that. Not worth doing."
- ― The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien, Letter 256)
Christopher Tolkien published this text in The Peoples of Middle-earth.

Who is he?
With the omnipresence of the number 9, the least one could say about Gruffydd is that he is a man of both exception and excess, since he doesn´t like to do things by halves. His path in life is likely to take him over great peaks of sometimes dizzy heights - just as it could lead through dark and unfathomable depths... In both cases it carries him inexorably towards other people, crowds and the public. Gruffydd possesses considerable ascendancy over others and he can leave a more or less lasting impression on those he meets. This will be even more true if he is able to approach all encounters and events with a selfless attitude. He is an extraordinary character who doesn´t like to follow the beaten track and completely ignores boundaries. Gruffydd is seduced by the idea of elsewhere, be it geographically, intellectually or spiritually. He seeks to surpass himself, stretch his limits and challenge habit and custom. Such an attitude can make him quite enigmatic and he could be seen as a visionary or marginal, at best. More often than not, Gruffydd will live his life in close proximity with the public, and he is likely to encounter many other lessons that are associated with the number 9, which could involve: foreign countries (personal travel and business trips), altruism as well as humanitarian and philanthropic orientations. It is quite possible that he traverses different phases before achieving an attitude of perfect detachment. He needs to feel completely secure on a material level before he is able to devote himself to others, since he isn´t immune to changes of heart. He needs to be able to believe in what he does and it isn´t impossible that he gains a certain level of notoriety or another form of recognition. His fertile imagination, sensuality and the lure of the unattainable could lead him to escape into a fool´s paradise if is unable to materialize his dreams. As a child, Gruffydd is hypersensitive, emotional and temperamental. One must be able to understand him in order to love him, even if his truth seems strange to you and his inextricable stories leave you quite perplexed. What if his rich imagination was the fertile soil of his future vocation? Remember, harmony in his affective environment is fundamental to his happiness and if Gruffydd feels misunderstood, he could see running away as the only viable option...
What does he like?
Noble causes, great ideas, humane and spiritual values. Gruffydd tends to think big and his idealism knows no limits. His interests lead him to encounter the inaccessible, the strange and mysterious, religion and the occult, psychology, politics and archeology... In his daily life he is difficult to figure out and a hard act to follow, since his heart is like his ideal - immense; and Gruffydd is not necessarily a one-woman man.
Get your free Personality test card now !!
What does he do?
Gruffydd will be interested by occupations that allow him to be in contact with the public, such as broadcasting or advertising, in connection with the sea (sailor...), gastronomy or catering, travel or foreign countries - such as tourism for example, activities concerned with great humanitarian, social or philanthropic values; otherwise he may choose a career as a public figure (politician) or one that would allow him to put his artistic talents to good use (journalist, actor, writer. ..)

You can't pick up a fork without tripping over the hottest buzz words in food today -- the "local" food movement or "eating local" or any of the myriad variations on the theme. The essential elements of eating local seem to include (1) eating as much food as possible (not only vegetables, also meats, cheese, bread, etc.) from "local sources;" (2) preparing food that is seasonal; (3) purchasing food that is sustainably and/or organically farmed; and (4) placing a premium on knowing the sources of what you consume.
Obviously, there are a number of threshold questions to overcome in order to begin this discussion. First and foremost, how do you define "local"? Is it a 10-mile radius? 25? 50? More? Until the Industrial Revolution, this was easier to answer. Modes of transportation were much more restrictive, forcing food to come from relatively nearby. Railroads and airplanes have changed all that. Now you can get organic asparagus year-round, either from a farm down the road, California, or Peru.
But there are larger questions at hand, too. Is food sourced from a local source necessarily good simply by being local? What if you live somewhere without the possibility of thriving local agriculture; are you left out of the local movement entirely? How will "local food" evolve and sustain itself? In essence, what will the lasting impact of this local emphasis be?
It is that last question that holds the most interest. Fundamentally, the "local" movement, in part, is chasing a myth. It isn't practical -- perhaps, isn't even possible -- to return the United States to an agrarian ideal. That Jeffersonian moment has passed. So what, ultimately, will this movement become? This question is worth exploring because the local food movement has genuine value and will leave a meaningful impact on the way this country eats.
At some point down the road, looking back on what started as a revitalization of boutique food sources, these times will mark the true beginning of when Americans started truly caring about what they eat. For most of the twentieth century, culinary history in the United States was marked by technological advances: frozen foods, the microwave oven, fast food, ways to engineer "natural" flavorings, and other things that were meant to make eating easier. The problem with emphasizing technology in this way was that it resulted in the consumption of unhealthy, poor quality food. Instead of enjoying meals, they became obstacles to be overcome, met and discarded in the fastest, cheapest way possible. That results in a lot of issues, including creating a culture that doesn't value the food it consumes -- an odd situation when food, when it comes down to it, is the fuel to make our bodies go.
This lack of appreciation for food -- taking the easy way out -- has offered the local movement its greatest opportunity and in which lies its greatest hope. Eating well is not something for "foodies." It is not something for the rich. It is not something for the person who saves just to experience one meal at the French Laundry. It is for anyone who's willing to embrace it. Good food takes care and attention, which are two things that precisely are hamstrung by the prevalence of technological food, with its dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets.
How does the local movement become the savior, pulling the country out of its grease-laden, deep fried, engineered obsession with packaged food? For starters, locavores care about what they eat. That is not a hallmark of technology foods, to put it mildly. With reflection, this desire to do well with good ingredients is the logical progression from Julia Child's grand (and deserved) legacy. Julia frequently preached doing better with what you have -- even if you had to use frozen spinach or come up with a substitute for French flour. Locavores, more so than foodies as a class, do not tolerate compromise. They are specific and passionate in their desire to acquire the best ingredients available.
At this point, you could run into road blocks. What if the best ingredient isn't available locally? Do you really have to stay within a 5-mile radius? Ten? More? To a certain extent, those issues are semantics. It's about what "local" means to you. But this emphasis on quality ingredients and caring about food are the the true heart of the local movement. It is about finding the best ingredients from people who are passionate and skilled. There's no need to go furtherthan that. The essential step is eating well and putting love and attention on your food. This is about rejecting the technology food culture that has given us blue raspberry flavoring, cheese in a can, and Kraft avocado-free guacamole.
Doing so pushes American food culture in a better direction, largely rejecting a look-what-we-can-do infatuation with technology (molecular gastronomy saved for another time) and toward an emphasis on quality and good food. Regardless of anything else, this is a genuine revolution and may determine the most significant legacy of the local food movement -- and a glorious one it would be. A country that embraces meals as an opportunity to be exploited, to bring people together on a daily basis and not just at Thanksgiving or Sunday supper? That is worth striving for.

Sky World Journey (Betrayal)
100% Full Synchronization Requirements
- Save all eggs
- Chain 3 Eagle Flights, twice.
- Avoid all obstacles
When the cutscenes end, Connor will be looking at a large tree. Head for the tree and begin to climb it by grabbing the root that juts into the ground. Continue to the next branch on the right and upwards with the broken bark that leads up to the next branch on the right side of Connor. Turn around and hop across the branches that are close together. When you reach the last one, Connor will automatically face the eagle.
In this next part, the eagle will sit infront of its next with 3 eggs. You'll have to protect these eggs while Bobcats attack it. These will be quicktime events. There will be some Bobcats that ignore you and try to go for the eggs. You'll need to kill them manually. All eggs do not need to be saved unless you want to achieve 100% Synchrnization.
After saving the eggs, you'll learn Connor's new ability, Eagle Flight. This is a simple jump from place to place ability. But you will be able to jump at very far lenghts, escape situations and assassinate enemies.
The eagle will lead you through trees and pliiars while teaching you how to use the new ability. All it requres is pressing the indicated button when there is a point within the proper distance locked on. Connor will fly to this location. You can chain these flights by pressing the button again just before landing while a new location is locked on. Do this three times to achieve the optional objective
After completing this, the eagle will take you through an obstacle course where boulders will block the way through and mountains move in order to hit you. There is no failing this mission, however, if you want to achieve the final optional objective you must avoid hitting anything and make it through all the way.

fern, any plant of the division Polypodiophyta. Fern species, numbering several thousand, are found throughout the world but are especially abundant in tropical rain forests. The ferns and their relatives (e.g., the club moss and horsetail) are the most primitive plants to have developed a true vascular system (see plant). The asparagus fern and shrub sweet fern (see bayberry) of florists are not true ferns.

Samantha Who?
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Samantha Who? (2007-2009) is an American sitcom created by Cecilia Ahern and Donald Todd, about a woman who suffers from amnesia after a car accident. After that she is forced to find out who she really is.
Season 1[edit]
Pilot [1.1][edit]
- Todd: Okay uh...you love Elvis Costello, you hate opera, you uh take gummie bear vitamins because you can't swallow pills, and you always sneeze three times in a row, and you never leave any blankets because you you know, ball them up in your hands when you sleep like a little girl.
- Samantha: You made me who I am
- Regina: That´s a terrible thing to say
The Job [1.2][edit]
- Samantha: So I said 'For Heaven's sake, girlie, have a piece of cake! Have two! What, is it going to kill you? It's only cake!'
- Andrea: [as secretary nervously puts a fork full of cake into her mouth in the background] She's diabetic you know.
- Samantha: Oh, for Heaven's sake! Honey, no, no. Spit! SPIT!
The Wedding [1.3][edit]
- Samantha: (making a wedding toast) Marriage. What is marriage? Let's break it down. Mare from the Latin, meaning sea. And edge, the edge of the sea. It's like sailing. It's like sailing over the edge of the sea, into uncharted waters. Right? You're all sailing folk. It's a new beginning. And, you know what, who among us doesn't need a new beginning? Or forgiveness. I'm getting it. Shouldn't everybody else? No matter what they've done. Whatever mistakes or indescretions or acts of just downright betrayal. As long as they just promise never to do it again.
The Virgin [1.4][edit]
- Samantha: You don't realise until you lose it, but your memory is everything you are. Without it, you're a blank slate. Reborn without points of reference, experiences, even opinions. A child looking at the world with new eyes. The only problem is, you're still an adult.
The Restraining Order [1.5][edit]
- Samantha: So, like I was saying, you learn a new thing every day. Today I learned that you never know how one thing will affect another. If I hadn't run into Nathan, I never would have gotten closer with my dad. Hm. I betNathan would find that interesting. I should call him.
- Samantha: The thing about amnesia is that you learn something new every day. Like just last week I learned that it's really a bad idea to sit behind me on a rollercoaster. So anyway a couple of days ago I was trying to learn my favorite ice cream.
The Hypnotherapist Expert [1.6][edit]
- Samantha: The road to independence takes time but no matter where you come from, or where you're headed, the journey's always better when you get to turn to someone and say, "thanks for being here"
- Samantha: Okay, so maybe I'm not ready to be completely independent just yet. I mean, I'm having to catch up on three decades of my life here. Cut me some slack. Look, I know I don't have to remember it all right now. And, I guess, that sometimes I forget that figuring out who I am is hard on everyone. We're all trying our best, and we're going to make mistakes. We have to go easy on each other.
The Hockey Date [1.7][edit]
- Samantha: Remember I asked how you can be yourself when you don't know who you are? Well I do know who I am. I'm someone who happens to have amnesia. And that's fine. Because every day with me is an adventure. And if someone wants to take that ride like Karen Allen did with Harrison Ford in Raiders of the Lost Ark...Oh wait, okay, ask me my favorite movie, go ahead.
The Car [1.8][edit]
- Samantha: The amnesia only affected my memory. It did not affect my driving skills.
- Howard: You know what your driving skills have got me in the past? Two busted garage doors and the death of a squirrel that was like a pet to me.
The Break-Up [1.9][edit]
- Samantha: (closing voice over) So love really is a battlefield. I learn that from another prophet on that CD at Andrea's. The difference is, in battle you're supposed to shoot all your ammo at once and alienate the other side; in love sometimes you just got to hold your fire a little and see what happens. Maybe the key to survival in love and war is balance.
The Girlfriend [1.10][edit]
- Samantha: (opening voice over) A little science lesson, listen up and you can have a snack. One type of memory is motor memory... or muscle memory. It's how even an amnesiac can still work a toothbrush, dial a phone; or even skip a rope. Then there's something called emotional memory, things your body just knows, like don't touch fire. Or... I really like this guy.
The Boss [1.11][edit]
- Samantha: (on the phone in the elevator with everyone listening) Hi Todd, it's me again. You know, in some countries it's actually considered rude to ignore messages after someone has left 20 or 30 of them. Maybe not as rude as pretending you and I had sex to get rid of your girlfriend, but close.
The Butterflies [1.12][edit]
- Samantha: I was reading an article the other day, by which I mean I was watching tv, and it said that happiness comes from realizing which things in life you just can't control and then controlling them, even if it kills you. That might not have been the lesson. I was flipping around.
The Gallery Show [1.13][edit]
- Samantha: Signals are like art. The meaning can be interpreted in countless ways, like that statue of a giant clothespin. Actually, no one knows what that one means. But sometimes, the signal is nothing like art. Its meaning is crystal clear.
The Affair [1.14][edit]
- Samantha: (end voiceover) You know that thing about touching the plate after the waiter tells you it's hot? The most exciting time is that moment right before you touch it. After that, you're just an idiot sitting in a restaurant with a burnt finger. The truth is, as one who's had my share of meals, it's a lot more fun when you're not in pain.
- Samantha: (beginning voiceover) You know how, when a waiter tells you not to touch your plate because it's hot, you immediately have to touch it. I mean, I guess there's a part of you that wants to see how hot the plate really is but maybe you touch it because, inside, you just want to do something wrong.
The Birthday [1.15][edit]
- Samantha: (voiceover) When they write the book of my life, what section will I be in? Mystery? Horror? Romance? Or just misfiled and jammed in the back under military history?

Located in Grande Synthe in the north of France, the Stadium du Littoral is a tour de force when it comes to sports. The 12 hectare site has three rugby fields, two football fields, an archery round, a running track, a 1300 m cycling ring and soon it will have a BMX track. The stadium itself is a long and low volume with a roof that spans an open central void. Contained within are two clubhouses, locker rooms, community recreation room, administrative offices and seating for 617 spectators. A bridge spans from the stadium across the cycling track letting fans travel to a communal viewing terrace without interrupting the race below.
Parts of the stadium are covered with a micro-perforated fabric that provides shade and protection from the elements, but still gives the feeling of being outdoors. The textile also filters sunlight to protect interior rooms from solar gain, providing thermal control.
The roof holds 700 square meters of photovoltaic panels that generate electricity for the stadium, and excess is sent to the local electric grid. A solar hot water system provides up to 50% of the facilities hot water and rainwater is collected from the roof to provide water for flushing toilets. A wind turbine is expected to be installed soon, and when it finally happens the facility will be able to generate more power than it needs.

These days, photos of Space Shuttles piggybacking on 747's tend to signal their last trips. For Enterprise, the prototype Shuttle used by NASA to test the concept, one of those last trips came almost thirty years ago.
After critical tests were completed Enterprise was retired then flown around the world to various air shows. One of those trips took the spaceship to the 1983 Paris Air Show.
On its way there, the assembly of jet and spaceship flew over Rome, where Apollo-era NASA photographer Terry Slezak was vacationing with his wife. Slezak captured Enterprise as she flew over the ruins of the Roman Forum. 28 years later, the spaceship was attached to her 747 one last time to come to New York City to rest.

The U.S. Navy is experimenting with technology to maintain freshness of fruits and vegetables aboard ships.
The Navy is installing ethylene control systems on two aircraft carriers, the Eisenhower in Norfolk, Va., and the Carol Vinson in San Diego.
As the technology helps store produce longer, Navy foodservice officials say they hope it could help encourage sailors to eat more fresh produce.
Depending how the tests fare, the Navy is considering installing the small and self-contained units in other ships to help extend fruit and vegetable shelf life, said Commander Danny King, director of Navy Foodservice in McKeansburg, Pa.
Mounted inside refrigerated containers, the technology can boost shelf life by a couple of days to up to 21 days, critical for ships on long ocean journeys, King said.
King said extending shelf life should support the Navy"s efforts to promote health and nutrition.
"The investment costs are minimal compared to the return," King said. "Extending the shelf life by even a couple of days helps out. There"s a big cost savings there as far as fresh fruits and vegetables going bad in some cases if they"re not eaten within a certain period of time.
"Even extending it a couple of days is a big plus," he said. "It can mean the difference between your next underway ship-to-ship replenishment."
In addition to the installations on ships, the Navy is testing the ethylene systems on other non-Navy military applications, including refrigerated containers, said Tony Patti, team leader of the equipment and energy technology group with the Defense Department"s Natick Research, Development and Engineering Center in Natick, Mass.
The ethylene units, which cost $300 a year to maintain, take advantage of ultraviolet light and ozone technology inside the box, Patti said.
"These units really extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables by detecting and absorbing the gas producing ethylene," he said. "It also reduces and absorbs the odor impact, particularly if the fruit rots. It eliminates spore, molds and microbes, which produce safety issues."
Woburn, Mass.-based Primaira LLC manufactures the trademarked Bluezone fresh preservation technology it initially developed for U.S. Army applications.
The units require limited space and power and can be easily mounted in varying setups, Patti said.
Once treated, the unit exhausts the air back into the refrigerated container.
King said the systems should help the Navy encourage sailors to place more fresh fruits and vegetables on their plate.
He said the Navy is also trying to encourage operations to provide more fresh produce as "grab and go" items to promote healthy snacking for crew members.
King said the Navy handles large volumes of produce. Last year, it served 92 million meals through its $424 million foodservice budget.
He said the Navy purchases fresh products from markets all over the world.

In what he called a "heckuva ride," James Cameron came "screaming back up" from Earth's deepest point in about 70 minutes Monday, breaking the Pacific Ocean surface on Monday at noon, local time (10 p.m. ET Sunday).
The filmmaker and National Geographic explorer's solo sub dive—the deepest ever—had taken him nearly 7 miles (11 kilometers) underwater to the Mariana Trench's Challenger Deep, southwest of Guam. (See pictures of Cameron's sub.)
Emerging from his cramped "pilot sphere" after surfacing, Cameron flashed two thumbs up, then described what he'd seen.
"It was bleak," he said. "It looked like the moon."
As for life-forms, he said, "I didn't see a fish. ... I didn't find anything that looked alive to me, other than a few [shrimplike] amphipods in the water," he said from aboard the research vessel Mermaid Sapphire. (See pictures of giant amphipods.)
"I didn't feel like I got to a place where I could take interesting geology samples or found anything interesting biologically."
This may be, in part, because a hydraulic fluid leak convinced Cameron to end the mission after about three hours. Previous projections had him surveying and sampling Challenger Deep and its life-forms for as long as six hours.
"I saw a lot of hydraulic oil come up in front of the port. The port got coated with it," he explained.
Cameron had planned to collect rock and animal samples with the sub's mechanical arm, but with the leak, "I couldn't pick anything up, so I began to feel like it was a moment of diminishing returns to go on."
Finally, he said, "I lost a lot of thrusters. I lost the whole starboard side. That's when I decided to come up. I couldn't go any further—I was just spinning in a circle."
Earlier, an issue with the sub's sonar system had scuttled the launch of a baited, unmanned "lander."
The lander was supposed to touch down at Challenger Deep hours before Cameron's arrival and attract deep-ocean predators and scavengers.
But without the sonar system working properly, finding the lander would have been difficult, explained Doug Bartlett, chief scientist for the DEEPSEA CHALLENGE project, a partnership with the National Geographic Society and Rolex. (The Society owns National Geographic News.)
Before the launch, "we decided he's not going to just happen upon" the lander without using sonar, said Bartlett, a marine biologist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in San Diego, California. "He's not going to have that much bottom time. So it's just not worth it" to deploy the lander.
Cameron—best known for creating fictional worlds on film (Avatar, Titanic, The Abyss)—remained optimistic.
"Next dive," he said. "Gotta leave something for the next one."
Speaking last week, Scripps's Bartlett had emphasized that Monday's dive was only the beginning and could "represent a turning point in how we approach ocean science.
"I absolutely think that what you're seeing is the start of a program, not just one grand expedition."
"The Ultimate Test"
Retired U.S. Navy Capt. Don Walsh, who descended to Challenger Deep with Swiss engineer Jacques Piccard in 1960, said he was pleased when he heard that Cameron had reached Challenger Deep safely.
"That was a grand moment, to welcome him to the club," Walsh, said in a telephone interview from the Mermaid Sapphire.
Walsh was one of the first people to greet Cameron as he climbed out of the sub.
Cameron told Walsh that Challenger Deep "hasn't changed a bit since you were down there.
"I felt a real kinship with you and Jacques on the descent, thinking, Man, this is a long way down ... It's crazy," said Cameron, a National Geographic Society explorer-in-residence.
On descent and ascent, the sub was "screaming down, and then screaming back up," Cameron said. We took off so fast from the bottom the whole thing was just shaking."
Expedition physician Joe MacInnis called Cameron's successful descent today "the ultimate test of a man and his machine."
Medical, Psychological Rigors
As the 57-year-old explorer emerged from the sub's coffin-tight 43-inch-wide (109-centimeter-wide) cockpit, a medical team stood at the ready.
But if recent test dives—including one to more than five miles (eight kilometers meters) down—are any indication, Cameron should be physically fine, despite having been unable to extend his arms and legs for hours, MacInnis told National Geographic News before the dive.
"Jim is going to be a little bit stiff and sore from the cramped position, but he's in really good shape for his age, so I don't expect any problems at all," said MacInnis, a long-time Cameron friend.
In addition, the sub's pilot sphere has a handlebar, which Cameron could use to pull himself occasionally up during the dive. "Usually, shifting position is all that's required to buy yourself another few hours," he said.
Because Cameron had prepared extensively for the dive, he should be in good psychological health, said Walter Sipes, an aeronautics psychologist at NASA's Johnson Space Center.
"He's got prior experience doing this, not just in the simulator but also training dives ... and he's an adventurer, so I really don't think they'll have any issues to worry about," said Sipes, who is not part of the expedition.
Still, if Cameron plans to conduct more dives—which the team has indicated he will—Sipes recommends he get plenty of rest in between or risk mental fatigue.
"When you start to get fatigued, you start making mistakes," he added. "And since he's down there solo, he can't afford that. He's a [potential] single-point failure."
It should be at least a few weeks before any further DEEPSEA CHALLENGE dives, as the director's next breakneck mission will take him from the middle of the Pacific to London, where he's due at a premiere of his Titanic 3-D Wednesday.
Cameron a Real-World Avatar
By returning humans to the so-called hadal zone—the ocean's deepest level, below 20,000 feet (6,000 meters)—the Challenger Deep expedition may represent a renaissance in deep-sea exploration.
While remotely operated vehicles, or ROVs, are much less expensive than manned subs, "the critical thing is to be able to take the human mind down into that environment," expedition member Patricia Fryer said, "to be able to turn your head and look around to see what the relationships are between organisms in a community and to see how they're behaving—to turn off all the lights and just sit there and watch and not frighten the animals, so that they behave normally.
"That is almost impossible to do with an ROV," said Fryer, a marine geologist at the Hawai'i Institute of Geophysics & Planetology.
Andy Bowen, project manager and principal developer of the Nereus, an ROV that explored Challenger Deep in 2009, said a manned mission also has the potential to inspire public imagination in a way a robot can't.
"It's difficult to anthropomorphize machines in a way that engages everyone's imagination—not in the same way that having boots on the ground, so to speak, can do," said Bowen, who's not an expedition member.
Biological oceanographer Lisa Levin, also at Scripps, said that the DEEPSEA CHALLENGE program's potential for generating public interest in deep-ocean science is as important as any new species Cameron might have discovered.
"I consider Cameron to be doing for the trenches what Jacques Cousteau did for the ocean many decades ago," said Levin, who's part of the team but did not participate in the seagoing expedition.
At a time of fast-shrinking funds for undersea research, "what scientists need is the public support to be able to continue exploration and research of the deep ocean," Levin said.
Perhaps referring to his friend's most recent movie, expedition physician MacInnis called Cameron a real-world "avatar."
"He's down there on behalf of everybody else on this planet," he said. "There are seven billion people who can't go, and he can. And he's aware of that."
Additional major support for the DEEPSEA CHALLENGE expedition was provided by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.

welcome to eatlocalhoney.com
My name is Mike Graney. I started beekeeping in 1997 with a single hive in my local community garden in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston. Ten years and hundreds of pounds of honey later, I'm still at it, quietly keeping honeybees in various sites throughout the city.
about me & this site
This site is a collection of the contacts and resources I've encountered working with honey buyers, sellers, and tradesmen, as well as to try to network with other beekeepers in the region and the nation. My hope is that by opening up the flow of information among fellow apiarists we can all work together to promote the consumption and enjoyment of one of Nature's greatest gifts.
I guess I would say that I owe my love of honey to my father John, who kept bees when I was a kid. Thanks to the steady flow of delicious honey to enjoy on toast, in tea, and even honey sandwiches, I quickly became addicted. And so when I moved out and was faced with the prospect of my honey supply being cruelly cut off, I learned to keep bees for my own selfish purposes.
What makes Eat Local Honey special?
I want to make one thing clear from the start: I bear no ill will toward supermarket honey. For the most part, the mass production of honey is a good thing, as honey competes in the marketplace with refined sugars, like high fructose corn syrup (yuck!). Thing is, large producers go where honey is the cheapest to make, like the miles of clover fields in the Midwest. The result is that people closely associate honey with the taste of clover honey, having never tasted the honey from their own region. Then there's the packing companies, who buy cheap honey from South America or Asia, to blend and repackage it as a "brand-name" honey. These companies have no contact with the bees, the flowers, or the elements that make every drop of honey unique. In New England, the sheer diversity of flora makes for honey that has a much more complex flavor profile than honey from anywhere else. Eat Local Honey is not meant to look or taste a certain way for mass appeal. In fact, the honey changes as the season progresses, and is a true taste of what was flowering at that point in time.
Eat Local Honey is used by some of Bostons top chefs, including Chef Jim Solomon at The Fireplace restaurant in Brookline, in countless dishes from the kitchen at Cambridges Pemberton Farms, and its been featured in some of the fine beers created by the Boston areas most innovative brewer, Will Myers, at Cambridge Brewing Company.
Some people say that Eat Local Honey is the bomb. Others love my delicious Jamaica Plain Honey, made by bees that live in JP.
It's the honey, not the money
I point out that I make nothing. I am merely the bottler of a gift of Nature that amazes me as much as it does you. I am most proud of how I take utmost care in preserving its purity. Enjoy it in good health!

The Vanishing of The Bees: "Do you like rice?"
This neat little video explains the potentially devastating consequences of Colony Collapse Disorder, something that I am asked about often and which I must confess that I am woefully under-informed. OrganicConsumers.org is a terrific resource for CCD-related information that has become this beekeeper's pet cribsheet.
A blurb is a blurb...
Here's a nifty little write-up about yours truly in one of my favorite mags, The Improper Bostonian. A quick excerpt:
"One spoonful and that teddy-bear squeeze bottle in your pantry will be long forgotten."
Ain't much, but like the header says...
Beekeeping in Slovenia & Elsewhere
Just got back from a trip to Eastern Europe, where beekeeping has long been part of the culture, as you can see in these rows of painted hives in an orchard in Transylvania, Romania. In Slovenia, early beekeepers believed that painting the entrances to their hives would help the bees return to the proper hive. The practice became a popular folk art, and various themes emerged, from humorous to religious. Although the painted hives are still a fixture in the Slovenian countryside, the practice reached its peak in the late 1800s, when particular detail was put into these panels.
A huge collection of these and other amazing bee-related items is held by the Apicultural museum near Lake Bled, Slovenia.
To see more pictures, including antique queen cages, a traditional wax press (used to extract honey from the comb before wood frames made the centrifugal extractor possible), and very cool life-size human and animal figures which are actually beehives, click here.
Look out, Yogi & Boo-Boo
If a bear should get into your honey, don't shoot it, sue it.
Bees on The Highway
What a mess. With gruesome pictures.
How not to keep bees
Listen, if you're gonna keep bees, don't do what this moron did.
Bees in the Key of A
Here are two trailers to this neat video my friend Brynmore made which features some local beekeepers.

In our increasingly knowledge-based economies, the protection of intellectual property is important for promoting innovation and creativity, developing employment, and improving competitiveness. The European Commission works to harmonise laws relating to industrial property rights in EU countries to avoid barriers to trade and to create efficient EU-wide systems for the protection of such rights. It fights against piracy and counterfeiting and aims to help businesses, especially small businesses, access and use intellectual property rights more effectively.
Intellectual property rights (IPR) protect a firm's intangible assets, allowing enterprises to profit from their creative and broadly innovative activities. Intangible assets account for more than half the value of companies and their importance is growing. In a world where EU companies compete more on innovation, creativity and quality than on price, intellectual property is a powerful tool for EU enterprises to become more competitive. The Commission has designed a legal framework and intellectual property system that offer incentives for EU companies to invest in the provision of goods and services with high standards of quality, innovation, design and creativity.
As announced in the single market strategy and digital single market strategy, on 29 November 2017 the Commission adopted a comprehensive package of measures to further improve the application and enforcement of IPR, and to step up the fight against counterfeiting and piracy.
With this package the Commission addressed issues related to judicial enforcement, and looked more broadly at the potential and added value of industry-led initiatives, the roles of public authorities and how to fight IP infringements within the EU, at our borders and internationally.

An introduction to EUMETSAT by Alain Ratier, Director-General
EUMETSAT is a global operational satellite agency at the heart of Europe. Our purpose is to gather accurate and reliable satellite data on weather, climate and the environment around the clock, and to deliver them to our Member States, to our international partners, and to users world-wide.
In our increasingly weather-dependent society, satellite data has become indispensible for the National Meteorological Services to forecast the weather at all ranges and to produce timely warnings and other information that support public and private decision making for our social and economic wellbeing.
"Weather and climate monitoring are global challenges, requiring a coordinated, long-term response."
In addition, satellite observations are relevant to climate monitoring. Over the last 30 years, meteorological satellites like Meteosat have indeed accumulated unique records of our changing climate. Their data, together with those of our Metop and Jason low Earth orbiting satellites, will play a major role in the ongoing development of climate services.
Weather and climate monitoring are global challenges, requiring a coordinated, long-term response based on strategic investments in large infrastructure in space and on ground. Indeed, international cooperation forms a fundamental part of our endeavours: in the framework of World Meteorological Organization, EUMETSAT strives to increase benefits to the user community through cooperation with other satellite operators.
We have a fully integrated cooperation with the United States, sharing and exploiting a joint polar system with their National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) which includes two satellites - Metop and NPP Suomi – flying on complementary polar orbits, the so called "mid morning" and "afternoon" orbits. We are also rapidly developing cooperation with satellite operators of China, India, Japan, Korea and Russia to coordinate our respective missions, exchange data and expertise, facilitate distribution of EUMETSAT data world-wide and expand the portfolio of data services available to our Member States.
Our strategic goal is to ensure the continuity and improvement of satellite observations that are vital inputs to the weather, climate and environmental information services delivered by the National Meteorological Services of our Member States for the benefits of the citizens and the economy.
To this end, we operate complex satellite systems around the clock, including a fleet of satellites in three different orbits, we extract a broad range of products from their observations, based on innovative algorithms and processing chains, and we deliver data streams in real time to users over three continents.
Looking into the longer term future, we have already started to develop, in cooperation with ESA, the future geostationary and low Earth satellite systems required to deliver and further improve observations in the 2020-2040 timeframe.
I would like to invite you to explore our website to learn more about EUMETSAT and its activities.

Los Angeles is a film town -- maybe the film town. Like the Hollywood district contained within it, the name "Los Angeles" a metonym for American film industry in the minds of many. "La La Land," "The Entertainment Capital of the World" and all that. I love movies; however, in my mind, the Hollywood film thing actually ranks pretty low in the long list of what makes Los Angeles the greatest city in the world. This is possibly (probably) shocking to hear/read if you're a cog in the blockbuster factory or a celebrity worshipper but better you find that out now than never. Luckily, Los Angeles doesn't just make movies, it also shows them. There are few cities in the world with as robust a film culture as Los Angeles.
For those who love celebrity-driven, gazillion dollar CGI superhero franchises you're in luck; there are multiplexes in every mall and Redboxes at every 7-11. Thankfully for other varieties of cinéastes, there's a lot more to Los Angeles's mise en scène than that. There are architecturally beautiful picture palaces, romantic drive-ins, dingy dollar theaters, high profile revival houses, low profile smut houses, and actual art house chains. Additionally there are all sorts of special screenings and festivals that take place every week of the year.

No part of this lesson may be reproduced, shared or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic, digital, or mechanical, including photocopying, recording or any informational storage or retrieval system without prior written permission of the author & publisher Jill Wigmore-Welsh.
by Jill Wigmore-Welsh MSc PT HCPC
Lesson Name: The Pelvic Clock
What is this? This is a practical lesson integrating physical & psychological processes. During a lesson you discover how to use your body more easily & effectively.
Who is this lesson for?: Anyone interested in symmetrical physical movement
Goal: Improving symmetry, body control, spinal movement, integrated movement
Note: Lessons are not a substitute for medical treatment, carrying out a lesson is at the users own risk. People must always ensure they take responsibility for their own health and take advice from their physician
Originally published in 2000 as part of a series to help office workers, but who doesn't use a desk a PC, Laptop, notebook? Who doesn't sit and drive or lift a telephone or push a trolley?
In the past 16 years since Jill wrote, recorded and published this lesson the world has moved on. Technology has advanced to the point where everyone uses a screen and keyboard of some kind.
Being a human, sitting at a desk or in a vehicles or chair, for hours, is very unnatural.
If people sit still and for long periods of time it's not a healthy thing to do
On top of that humans have emotional responses and habits. While watching a screen they tense their whole system as they concentrate and think. Often times this tensing is so habitual that it's not even noticed until the point of pain.
The goal of this lesson is to help you change your habitual tensioning to reduce your aches & pains.
Goal: Improving symmetry, body control, spinal movement, integrated movement
The lesson is a guided journey, an exploration. Imagine a relaxation and visualisation process and add in small, tiny slow micro-moves of your pelvis, rib cage and arms.
The sequence of these movements has been carefully choreographed to align with the human organic memories of movement and deep reflexes.
Each lesson in the series can be practiced many times & each time a new discovery can be made.
Resources for Feldenkrais Practitioners & AHP's completing Training

It's time to Play to Learn!
Today, let's play Pizza Party. I used Pizza Party as a sight word review game but it can be easily adapted to fit your specific needs.
This was really easy to set-up.
What You Need:
white paper plates
construction paper
What To Do:
1. Draw a pizza slice on the paper plate & color.
2. Use colored construction paper to cut out toppings -
we used red pepperoni, green broccoli and brown mushrooms.
3. Write target sight words on the toppings.
4. Place toppings face down on a plate.
How To Play:
1. Taking turns each child will turn over 1 topping at a time and read the word.
2. If the word is read correctly - place the topping on the pizza.
If the word is read incorrectly - it goes back onto the topping plate.
3. Continue to play until 1 child has the target number of toppings
on their pizza (we used 6 because it best fit our pizza).
4. Once you have a inner, take all toppings off your pizza & play again.
This game was a hit!
The Lil Divas played Pizza Party over & over again.
Other Ways to Play:
You can use this game to practice/review:
- letter recognition
- number recognition
-addition/subtraction/multiplication/division facts
- vocabulary
& more
Can you think of other ways that this game can be used?
Note: This is great for 1 player or small groups and it can easily be stored in a ziploc baggie or large envelope making it perfect for use in the classroom as well as at home. I gave each Lil Diva her own set of target sight words so it was very individualized. This could easily be done for different levels/groups as well.
Have a great Pizza Party!

Course: AAAS 90 – The Black Male, Invented or Engineered?
Instructor: Antonio Tillis
Assignment: Documentary Video Project
In small groups of three, students are expected to create a short documentary film between 5-7 minutes in length. Group members are to select a topic that has a direct association to a topic matter presented in the course. The objective is to explore a topic introduced in the class that is of interest to your group within the framework of a 21st century epistemological understanding of the "Black Male." As examples, you may choose to explore the theme of contemporary engineering of the Black male subject in 21st century film (selecting one film as text for analysis), Black male sexuality in the media or visual arts, Black male – Black female social dynamics around desirability, etc.
Through the development of this documentary, you are expected to engage the issues presented in the class. All groups are to have a minimum of 5 bibliographic entries or works that are not texts used in the class. (You may use works presented in class, however they are not a part of the minimum 5 outside readings/sources/references.) Additionally, you may choose to conduct interviews, use video footage pertinent to the selected topic. You are required to make a compelling argument about your topic using the chosen media (voice-over narration, video footage from interviews, audio, etc.)
In preparation, students will meet with Susan Simon (Jones Media Center) and with Prof. Tillis. Additionally, groups will meet Professor Tillis outside of class for developmental updates. The final cut of the documentary will be presented in class. At such time, a copy of the script and documentary are due.
This assignment is developed with the following learning outcomes in mind:
1. Discuss how the construct of the "Black Male" has been developed within the Americas and beyond as a racial-gendered group
2. Discuss the social, economic, political designed for the construction of the "Black Male" as a typology
3. Discuss the above mentioned and beyond in a cogent argument using film as the medium to critically engage the chosen topic of the group.
Group members will receive a grade for the written treatment, storyboard, script and bibliography. Additionally, the group will receive a grade based on teh final product. (see Sample Grade Rubric) Finally, each student will submit an additional written reflection (no more than 3typed pages) commenting on the film making process and other critical thoughts.
