The Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA; /ˌsæɡˈæftrə/) is an American labor union representing approximately 160,000 film and television actors, journalists, radio personalities, recording artists, singers, voice actors, and other media professionals worldwide. The organization was formed on March 30, 2012, following the merger of the Screen Actors Guild (created in 1933) and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (created in 1937 as American Federation of Radio Artists, becoming AFTRA in 1952 after merger with Television Authority).[6] SAG-AFTRA is a member of the AFL–CIO, the largest federation of unions in the United States.[7]

As of January 2013, Variety reported that the merger had proceeded with "few bumps", amid shows of good will on both sides. The stickiest remaining problem was reported to be the merger of the two pension funds, in part as a way of dealing with the issue of performers who paid into each plan, yet did not quite earn enough under either of the old plans to qualify for a pension.[8] The union is perceived as having two factions. The larger faction has focused on creating job opportunities for members. A second faction has criticized the current administration for being too quick and soft when it comes to negotiations with studios.[9]
Ken Howard, first president of the merged union, died on March 23, 2016.[4] He was succeeded as president by Gabrielle Carteris on April 9, 2016.[3]
SAG-AFTRA has a diverse membership consisting of actors, announcers, broadcast journalists, dancers, disc jockeys, news writers, news editors, program hosts, puppeteers, recording artists, singers, stunt performers, voiceover artists, and other media professionals.
Membership in SAG-AFTRA is considered a rite of passage for new performers and media professionals. It is often procured after getting hired for their first job in a studio that has a collective bargaining agreement with the union.[10] SAG-AFTRA work is considered to be substantially more prestigious than non-union jobs. Due to the size and influence of the union, most major media firms have a collective bargaining agreement with SAG-AFTRA through the Association of Motion Picture and Television Producers. Studios that have signed a collective bargaining agreement with SAG-AFTRA are not closed shops, but are generally required to give preference to union members first when hiring.
Nearly all professional actors and media professionals working for medium or large-scale American media firms are expected to be unionized. As a result, SAG-AFTRA has many members who are consistently out of work, uncommon for a union, but reflective of how work is procured in the industry. According to SAG-AFTRA's Department of Labor records since its founding, around 34%, or a third, of the union's total membership have consistently been considered "withdrawn," "suspended," or otherwise not categorized as "active" members. These members are ineligible to vote in the union.[11] "Honorable withdrawals" constitute the largest portion of these, at 20% of the total membership, or 46,934 members. "Suspended payment" members are the second largest, at 14%, or 33,422 members.[2] This classification scheme is continued from the Screen Actors Guild,[12] rather than the scheme used by AFTRA.[13]
SAG-AFTRA is headquartered in Los Angeles, California and in New York City in addition to other local offices nationwide.[5]
Major strikes and boycottsEdit
Global Rule OneEdit
Under Global Rule One, no SAG-AFTRA members are allowed to work for any producer who has not executed a minimum basic agreement with the union that is in full force and effect. This rule applies worldwide.[14]
Do not work orders are formally issued to denote productions that have not entered into the required agreements.[15]
2016–17 strikeEdit
After about a year and a half of negotiations, SAG-AFTRA issued a strike on October 21, 2016, against eleven American video game developers and publishers, including Activision, Electronic Arts, Insomniac Games, Take 2 Interactive, and WB Games. The strike resulted from attempted negotiations since February 2015 to replace the previous contract, the Interactive Media Agreement, that expired in late 2014.[16] There were four major issues being fought for with this strike. Transparency, so actors can better negotiate their contracts, preventing vocal stress from long recording sessions, stunt coordinators on performance capture sets, and payment of residuals based on sales of a video game,[17] which have traditionally not been used in the video game industry. SAG-AFTRA members sought to bring equity for video game actors as in other industries, while the video game companies feared that giving residuals to actors would overshadow the contributions of programmers and artists that contribute to the games. It was the first such organized strike within the video game industry and the first voice actors' strike in 17 years, as well as the first strike within the merged SAG-AFTRA organization. As of April 23, 2017, it became the longest strike within SAG, surpassing the 95-day 1980 Emmy Awards strike, and the 2000 commercials strike.[18]
An agreement was reached on September 23, 2017, ending the 340-day strike.[19]
Bartle Bogle Hegarty strikeEdit
On September 20, 2018, SAG called a strike against global advertising agency Bartle Bogle Hegarty over certain waivers for low-budget commercials that BBH added, among other provisions. Earlier that month, BBH had withdrawn from their contract with SAG, which was first agreed on in 1999, over contractual terms that stated BBH would not be allowed to hire non-union actors, which they believed put them at competitive disadvantage as many of their peer agencies were not signatories.[20][21][22]
On July 20, 2019, SAG ended its 10-month strike against BBH after the advertising agency agreed to sign the union's new commercials contract.[23]
Organizing campaignsEdit
On February 9, 2016, NBCUniversal, Telemundo's parent company, faced claims by SAG-AFTRA of operating under a double standard between its Spanish-language and English-language talent at NBC and Telemundo. In its response, the network released a statement claiming it is "committed to making Telemundo a great place to work for our employees and will continue to invest in them to ensure their salaries and working conditions are competitive with the rest of the broadcasting industry in accordance with market size and station revenues."
A few days later on February 13, 2016, SAG-AFTRA came back and added that Telemundo had been treating its employees like "second-class professionals" given that many actors do not receive basic workplace guarantees that SAG-AFTRA contracts provide, such as fair pay, water breaks, health insurance and residuals. At that time, Telemundo president Luis Silberwasser responded by saying that SAG-AFTRA asked for recognition of the union as the bargaining agent for employees — rather than seeking a vote by employees. However, SAG-AFTRA claimed that intimidation tactics had been taking place within the network to keep employees from unionizing and that they believe "there is no such thing as a 'fair vote' when workers are afraid for their careers and livelihoods, and live with the fear of retaliation if they are seen as actively wanting to unionize. SAG-AFTRA wants to ensure full protection for workplace democracy and performers' rights to choose through a truly fair process."[24]
In August 2016, Telemundo once again found itself up against the union when the network refused to air an ad placed by SAG-AFTRA detailing the unfair wage gap and lack of benefits Telemundo employees face as opposed to unionized performers at NBCUniversal. The ad was set to air during the network's premiere people's choice awards Premios Tu Mundo but was never placed into rotation. A Telemundo spokesperson responded saying, "After legal review, we have concluded the ad did not pass legal standards for issue-based advertisement." Meanwhile, other Spanish-language networks such as MegaTV and Estrella TV aired the ad nationwide.[25]
SAG-AFTRA continued to stand its ground, stating that "Telemundo's decision to censor 30 seconds of truthful commentary about its working conditions shows just how averse it is to having a transparent discussion about its refusal to fairly compensate Spanish-speaking performers."[25]
In March 2016, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) administered a secret vote amongst 124 Telemundo performers, based on the amount of time actors have worked on telenovela dramas and other shows. SAG-AFTRA announced that 81% of eligible voters chose to unionize in a balloting process that began Feb. 7 and lasted four weeks.[26]
Joining the union will allow Telemundo actors, along with singers, dancers and stunt people, to bargain with the network for health insurance, residual payments and other benefits that are routine at English-language television networks.[27]

Seven Ways to Reconnect with Your Partner
Stop feeling like strangers, and start enjoying being together again by reconnecting with your spouse
In the juggle of work/life/love, it's usually the relationship ball that gets dropped. With more couples in dual careers, it often means longer hours and 24/7 availability to the job. No wonder many couples are finding it harder and harder to connect. Here are 7 proven strategies to help reconnect with your spouse and build a strong relationship.
Start with your attitude Joel Block, a clinical psychologist specializing in couples therapy, says that too often, people successful in their careers count on their relationships being low maintenance. But to achieve success in a relationship, Block says you have to have a plan. Shifting from boss/worker to spouse/lover when you walk through the door can be difficult for some. Block believes that "attitude is everything," and that basic politeness should be each partner's goal. Bringing home and dwelling on work-related problems does nothing to promote togetherness. Block suggests that even if you only have ten minutes together before going to bed, "Say something that will nurture your relationship, not tear it down."
Get creative Find innovative ways to spend time together during the work-day when quality time at home isn't an option. Linda, a real-estate broker and her husband Don, a financial advisor, belong to the same Rotary club. "We treat our Wednesday lunches at Rotary like a day-time date," she says. "We'll spend some quality time afterward talking with other Rotarians, but there's always an extra 15 minutes tacked on just for us to sit and talk." Christine, a stay-at-home mom, drives her husband to work in the morning. "It might be the only 20 minutes we'll have together in a given day, so we try to make the best of it." Block says once you make it a priority to build a strong relationship you'll figure out creative ways to reconnect with your spouse.
Multi-task only when necessary Psychologist Marilisa Sachteleben considers herself "a relationship mentor," and one of her favorite ways to carve out more quality time for hubby and kids after hours is to multi-task in the morning. "Before you go to work, run a load of wash as you get ready. Put a meal in the crock pot and set it to cook. Pop a loaf of bread in your bread machine. Load the dishwasher. Before you leave, put the clothes in the washer and turn on the dishwasher. When you get home from work you have a meal ready to eat (with fresh baked bread), clean dishes and clean clothes!" A little bit of extra time spent in the morning means a lot more quality time in the evening for Marilisa to spend with her family. Multi-tasking can backfire, though. Francis Lui, a time management guru, says that multi-tasking can hurt the quality of your efforts whether at work or in relationships. "When you do multiple tasks at once, the quality of your work on each individual task is lower," he says. So when it comes to important "tasks" like play-time with the kids or date-night with your partner, you should minimize distractions and do just one thing at a time.
Negotiate a win-win Ted, an attorney, admits he gets antsy when he's not connected to his iPhone via earbuds or Bluetooth. "My girlfriend came over one night to cook dinner. I took a call from a colleague and left the room. When I came back 45 minutes later the kitchen had been cleared, and she was gone. When she would talk to me again we agreed that during certain blocks of our time together my phone had to be powered off. That's not easy for me, but I really see how it enhances our quality time together." If you're trying to spend quality time with your partner and he's watching football, or she's flipping through magazines, you're not present in the moment. Agree that certain chunks of time will be spent exclusively focused on each other.
Live an interesting life Research scientist Dr. John Anderson suggests getting involved in a wide range of interesting activities that give you something to look forward to. When couples do this it can really boost a sense of intimacy and togetherness. Learning something new like rock-climbing, or experiencing something scary like zip-lining or skydiving requires total focus and can heighten a couple's sense of quality time shared together.
Understand your four quadrants Anderson says that four quadrants constitute our lives: Family, Work, Friends and Self. Balance, claims Anderson, is about attaining enjoyment, achievement, satisfaction and fulfillment in all of them. "Good life-work balance means trying to meet these requirements in a balanced way every day and every week with complete commitment to them so they don't become 'half-done' or 'half-enjoyed things' with no 'as soon as…' postponements." How to achieve that and in turn build a strong relationship?
Focus on one task at a time "Focus completely and absolutely…when you are engaged in these activities," says Anderson. "Don't let thoughts about work interfere with your quality time with your family, friends, and vice versa… Always try to practice exclusive scheduling." In other words, learn how to juggle one ball at a time.

Linda, Charly boy's alter ego will take charge as one of the judges of Nigerian Idol season III.
Controversial Nigerian singer and former president of the Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria, Charly Boy, has never minced words about the existence of what he refers to as his 'alter ego,' Linda.
According to him, Linda represents his feminine side and the woman in him.
He says, "It is that Linda that wears makeup. She directs me on how to be compassionate like women and also responsible for all the humanitarian works he had done over the years. Without Linda, I could not have done all that."
While many are yet to digest the meaning and idea behind his new personality, the singer who is one of the judges on the Nigeria Idols music reality show, says he will be introducing 'Linda' to the world as she will be taking his place on the show when it hits the screens in December.
Charly Boy made this known during the Nigerian Idol season III launch held in Lagos recently. He said he would still be on the judges' seat, except this time as his alter ego Linda. As such, Linda will join the other judges Yinka Davies and Jeffrey Daniels.
In a related development, co-host, Tiwa Savage, would not also be returning to the show this season as she is currently tidying up work on her forthcoming album. Her publicist says "It was difficult to combine with an increasingly time-consuming schedule. Nigerian Idol is something she will like to do again in the near future but not before she releases her new album amongst other things."
Illrhymz and Tiwa Savage took over as hosts of Nigerian Idol II from Misi Molu and Anis Halloway in September 2011. Nigerian Idol season III would be aired in 14 countries including Canada, the star prize has also been increased from N15m to N20m and the audition cities increased from four to five. The maiden broadcast for season III scheduled for December 16 is themed 'Be the voice of tomorrow'.
Abuja audition would hold at Rock View Hotel on October 13 by 9 a.m.; the Port Harcourt audition at Presidential Hotel on October 20 by 9 a.m.; and Imo audition at the Imo Concorde hotel on October 27 by 9 a.m. Other audition venues include Excalibur Hotel, Benin City on November 3 by 9 a.m.; and Bamako Studios, Lagos on November 10 by 9 a.m.

By Chris Pattillo
Like many people, most of my ancestors are very ordinary folk. Hard-working, honest people of no particular note. I seem to have few forefathers who served in the military during any period. There are lots of farmers in my background, particularly tobacco farmers. Researching these family members can sometimes be discouraging because it seems impossible to find out anything about them. I'm the kind of family historian who wants to get to know my relations. I want to go beyond the basic facts of birth, marriage, children, and death. But these ordinary folk did not get written up in the local newspapers. Genealogists of the past did not write books about them, so it is slim pickings.
On the other hand, I occasionally stumble upon a famous ancestor and even a whole line of prominent people in my family tree. This is what happened when I took my Genealogy Journey in 2017 – a two-and-a-half-month long adventure to the southern United States to do research. I had many objectives, but probably most important to me was finding the parents of Joanna Gaines, a second great-grandmother on my father's side. Finding Joanna's parents had been my tallest brick wall for about fifteen years, and I was determined, but not very optimistic.
First, a confession. In 2011 I took a month off from my job as the founding partner of PGAdesign, a landscape architecture firm in downtown Oakland. The office was slow – we did not have enough work, so I took the month off without pay, and I spent that month doing research at the CGS library. I was in the library every day and made a lot of progress on my research. One day I asked Vinnie (Lavinia Grace Schwarz) for some help with Joanna. She spent about 10 minutes on her laptop and handed me a note saying, "check this out." At that time I was still a novice and had no idea what to do with the information.
A few months later, I joined CGS in Salt Lake for the first time. While there I followed up on the tip Vinnie had given me. What I found included a reference to a Joanna Gaines and her sister Margaret. It said their mother was Hulda Waller, but as I read the document, I understood it to say that this Joanna had died in 1834. I immediately discarded the lead because I knew my Joanna had lived until 1902. (To be honest, I was glad Hulda was not my third great-grandmother because I did not like the name "Hulda.")
Back to 2017: I am still looking for Joanna's parents. To make a long story short, I found the will of Joanna Thompson McGehee, who as it turns out was Hulda's mother. Joanna's first husband was Benjamin Waller. Now, as a more experienced researcher, I read the will carefully and realized that the Joanna who had died in 1834 was my 4th great-grandmother Joanna.
|Detail from a family portrait of my 2nd great-grandmother, Joanna Gaines. The infant is my paternal grandfather, Lewis Wood Pattillo.
So, the moral of this story is yes, sometimes it is a good idea to go back and look at things years later when you have more pieces of your puzzle to put things into context.
This brings me back to the primary story about having prominent ancestors. It turned out that Benjamin Waller is part of a long line of distinguished Wallers that go back to England and beyond. This was a family of wealth. They owned plantations, not just farms. They were doctors, lawyers, county clerks, vestrymen, a sheriff and members of the House of Burgess. Oh, and several served in the military, too. Since I returned from my Genealogy Journey I have been possessed with this newly discovered branch of my family tree, and I fear there may be no end to it.
|Endfield, the plantation home of my 7th great-grandfather Col. John Waller, first in this line to immigrate to Virginia from England.
I have found more than a dozen eBooks that include extensive narratives on this family. They include all the basic facts plus information about their homes, positions, civic involvement, personal letters, and lawsuits. The amount of material written about my Waller ancestors seems to be endless. After months of research, I decided to write a series of posts for my family history blog: one post for each of Joanna's ancestors going back to my 8th great-grandfather, Dr. John Waller (1645-1716).
As I start writing each new bio I find myself wanting to pursue an aspect of that individual's life or to look for images to illustrate each post. This extra research inevitably leads me down the proverbial "rabbit hole" otherwise known as a Google search. I find myself copying several more pages with new tidbits I had not previously found and on and on it goes. Ah, the joys of genealogy.

Someone from the bank has called your house numerous times. The word "foreclosure" has been mentioned. What does it mean? Are all Minnesota foreclosures the same? How can you know more about your rights, and when is it time to contact a Minneapolis foreclosure attorney?
Let's answer that last question first. The time to call an experienced and empathetic Minneapolis foreclosure lawyer is right now. Your attorney can help you understand how a foreclosure of Minneapolis property might occur in your case and inform you of your legal rights and possible alternatives.
Judicial and Non-Judicial Foreclosures in Minnesota
Generally, there are two types of foreclosure that could occur if you are behind on your Minnesota mortgage payments. One is called judicial foreclosure and the other is called non-judicial foreclosure. Judicial foreclosure occurs if your mortgage document does not contain a power of sale clause, or give the lender the right to proceed with a non-judicial foreclosure. In a judicial foreclosure, the lender is forced to file a lawsuit and get a court order to auction off your home.
A non-judicial foreclosure is different. If your mortgage documents allow this type of foreclosure, then you have already agreed to let the lender auction off your property if you default on the mortgage. Of course, non-judicial foreclosures are also subject to specific regulations, and the lender must comply with those regulations. You do have protections. A non-judicial foreclosure may only occur if a lawsuit involving the mortgage is not filed, the mortgage was recorded, and you receive the required notice before the foreclosure of your home.

Extend your Reach to a Wider Audience through SEO
Every business has a specific goal and that is to achieve online success. In this generation, the internet has become a global market for products and services. Competition is stiff and businesses make use of every kind of marketing tool in order to be one step ahead of the competitor. Product awareness is something that businesses seek for since this is the process with which they will be searched by potential consumers. In order to create this awareness, businesses hire the services of Search Engine Optimization Los Angeles.
How can product awareness be gained through SEO? People who are looking for a specific product will make a search using Google or other search engines. For a website to gain visitors, it must rank high in the first pages of the Google. Search Engine Optimization Los Angeles uses many techniques in order to provide the site with a good ranking. One of the ways with which they make the search engines happy is through content writing. However, it does not mean just any kind of content since it must not only be interesting but informative.
What kind of content appeals most to consumers? It is important to write quality content with the right keywords but it should be done in such a way that the content will not be stuffed with too many keywords. It is unethical and might even result in being penalized or banned from search engines. What becomes important to consider is the relevance of the content in relation to the product. The consumer must not feel that the content is being used for marketing purposes. Consumers want to read content where they will gain information they are seeking for since they are fed up with a lot of advertisements they see on TV.
There are certain subjects that consumers are interested in and which the competitors don't use often. Original content is what consumers look for and not copy-pasted content from another website. Consumers always expect something new and it is important to regularly update the posts in order to gain a continuous traffic from visitors. It is challenge to maintain a good ranking but this can be gained by linking the site to social media. Since social networking is the trend, businesses have created pages in Facebook and other social media sites and they are assured of higher return on the investment.
Link building is also a process to gain high ranking but it is time consuming, hence most website owners decide to delegate the job to Search Engine Optimization Los Angeles. In link building the website is linked with another site offering a compatible product. In consideration for providing a link, a reciprocal link is also provided to the other website in order to capture a wider market. Link building is often manually made and not through the use of software. Once link building is paired with content writing and social media, there is no reason why the business will not gain a high ranking.

International Photography Awards 2012
It might seem like an odd thing to announce towards the end of 2014 but it only just came to my attention that I've previously been awarded five Honorable Mentions at the International Photography Awards 2012. I guess the email got lost somewhere along the way, but it was only by chance that someone pointed out this fact out to me recently.
I'm more than a bit annoyed because this was the 10th Anniversary of the awards, and getting any sort of acknowledgement from the IPA is highly prized and held in high esteem by photographers all over the world. Not for the first time this year, I'm elated and deflated all in one go! The reason for this for my deflation this time? Apart from finding out two years too late, these were some of my favourite images from that period no doubt and I thought they had been passed over. As such, I didn't enter the competition again during 2013 and 2014 whereas I would most certainly have continued had I known about these awards… Lesson learned there somewhere to check more carefully next time, all five images received Honorable Mentions.

"my desire is for every client to know and feel heard, and to bring stability and health back into their lives."
Hi, I'm Sandra Brougher. I'm a Functional Nutritionist and Lifestyle Practitioner, Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Holistic Health Coach, Transformational Method Coach, Gluten Practitioner as well as certified through the Hashimoto's Institute practicing functional nutrition at the Functional Nutrition Alliance (FxNA). I live in Austin, Texas, with my husband, kids, and an assortment of animals.
As far back as I can remember, I've had two goals in life – to be a mother and a teacher. Luckily, my life has allowed me to reach both of those goals. I'm a mother of three beautiful children, and my work as a functional nutritionist focuses on teaching my clients about the healing powers of nutrition.
I didn't always have a passion for health and nutrition, but like so many of us, personal health experiences led me down the path to finding alternatives and complements to pharmaceuticals.
My daughter was diagnosed with mental health issues, my husband with hypothyroidism, and I was dealing with raging PMS and adrenal fatigue. I knew it was time to take control of my family's health.
I began my studies at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition (IIN) and became a Certified Holistic Health Coach. It was at IIN that I met Andrea. I was introduced to her detoxes, and then to her professional training programs through Functional Nutrition Lab.
Andrea's Digestive Intensive helped me see physiology and nutrition in a whole new way. We dove deep into the inner workings of the body, and when I completed the course I was hungry for more! I have since completed all of Andrea's practitioner programs and I continue to learn from her each day.
I am constantly looking for ways to expand my expertise and satisfy my hunger for knowledge. I'm always asking questions like: What makes our bodies function properly? Why do our bodies break down? What nutrients are necessary for optimal health? What foundational supports must we repair to bring the body back into balance?
My quest for the answers to these questions led me to the Nutritional Therapy Association (NTA) where I obtained my certification as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner. This knowledge, together with the invaluable mentorship from Andrea, help me to be the practitioner and teacher I have always wanted to be.
By putting into place the knowledge I've learned and practicing what I preach, I've been able to transform my own health as well as the health of my family. As I've found, it can often be a delicate, illuminating and rich journey and I'm prepared to walk by your side as we uncover the nuances that will lead to your desired health goals.

In today's risky environment every person craves to secure himself and his family. There are varieties of products where you can invest ranging from Mutual funds, PPF as well as Insurance policies which have always been popular. Deciding to go for insurance policies is only half a battle won, as there are so many different types of Insurance Policies available that to choose the right one is really a daunting task.
Types of Insurance Policies
A variety of insurance policies provided by different insurance companies is available. Let us check few on broad terms to get a better idea.
Term Life Insurance: Term life insurance provides coverage for a specific time period. After the stipulated time frame, the policy holder can either close the policy or extend it. If the policy holder expires within the term period, then the nominee is entitled to receive the benefits. Normally this insurance plan is quite cost efficient and affordable and it enables the policy owner to pay a low monthly premium amount, based on the time frame and the amount of the coverage that you want.
Whole life insurance: This policy differs from the Term Life insurance in the sense it gives coverage not for a stipulated time frame but for your whole life. In this type of policy, the insured pays the premium from the date of issue till death. On death, the named beneficiary gets the face value amount. This policy can be used as an asset and some polices also allow the holder to take a loan from the amount accumulated in this policy.
Money back insurance: Money back insurance plans are now gaining popularity for those who do not wish to wait for a stipulated period or whole term period to get the amount. In Money Back policies, the policy holder tends to get periodic payments during the term of the policy even when he is alive.
Apart from these major insurance policies, the insurance market offers many other policies, ranging from Family, Children, Senior people and Business Life Insurances. There are yet others ranging from Mortgage to No medical examination or Accidental Death Insurance and Permanent, Universal and Variable Life insurances available too.
Benefits of Term life insurance calculator
To know if you are on the right track in choosing the right policy, it is advisable to calculate to check if the policy is beneficial to you in the long run or not. These calculations can be carried out manually but with the advantage of Internet and technology, and growing trend of shopping for insurance policies online, an impressive tool called "Term life insurance calculator" is available at your disposal.
When choosing a policy you need to know the level of coverage or the time frame and the amount of money you will be paying out in premiums annually. These used by be told to you by an insurance agent or broker but now with this impressive tool you can come to an accurate estimate and adjust your comments to recalculate as you wish.

You can do sunny-side up. You can do over easy. You can do over hard.
You got omelets down. You can do a French rolled omelet and an American folded omelet simultaneously in two different pans—without a spatula.
You've got scrambled. You could teach a scrambled eggs class at the Learning Annex, if you were in this for the money. You'd get all Dead Poets Society with it and jump up on the desks and throw eggs around. Your students would remember you and your passion for eggs for the rest of their lives.
You've got hard boiled, soft boiled, and medium boiled. You've invented two new ways to make shirred eggs that only the U.S. Patent Office knows about.
But can you coddle? Can you delicately steam an egg in a coddler so it's tender a.f.? Coddling is like poaching, only way cuter. These days, not enough people coddle, but everyone should.
Here's how to coddle your eggs like a dandy motherf***er.
Coddled Eggs
How to Make It
Egg coddlers are little ceramic dishes with metal screw-top lids. You can find a twee Victorian-style coddler at a flea market, an antique shop, or eBay. Win extra posh points if it's from Royal Worcester.
Fill a shallow pot with water until it reaches the lips of the coddlers. Remove the coddlers and bring the water to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
Smear butter on the insides of each coddler, splash with heavy cream, and season with black pepper and salt. Add bacon to the mix, because of course you should. And finally, crack an egg inside each bowl.
Screw the lids on tightly and carefully place them into the pot of boiling water. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for five to ten minutes depending on how well-done you prefer your eggs.
Turn off the heat and lift the coddlers by their rings with a hand towel or an oven mitt. (Ain't nobody got time for kitchen burns.) Quickly, but safely, place the dishes on a heat-resistant surface and unscrew the lids.
Serve your coddled eggs immediately and savor the delightfully soft, tender yolk action happening right before your eyes.

CARSON, Calif. – Robbie Rogers took his initial steps toward resuming his soccer career on Tuesday, joining the LA Galaxy for an open-ended training stint that his new teammates, as it were, hope could lead to a job with the club.
Rogers, who retired two months ago when he announced on his blog that he is gay, was in preseason form during the session at the Home Depot Center, but he appeared to be enjoying himself and interacted easily with Galaxy players.
He declined through a club spokesman to speak with the media, but Landon Donovan made it clear everyone was very happy to have him in camp.
"It was fun to play with him," said Donovan, who has played alongside Rogers with the US national team. "He's been out awhile, so it's going to take him a while to get back into it, and he would admit that, but hopefully he does well.
READ: Rogers a special guest at Galaxy training Tuesday
"My personal hope is that we'll sign him and that they can find out a way to work a trade with Chicago," Donovan added. "I think beyond the immediate soccer part, I think there's much bigger positive consequences that can come from that, and we're all hopeful that he'll get fit and play well and that Bruce [Arena] wants to sign him."
Mike Magee said it was "good to see him overcome some barriers and get back on the field. I think everyone hoped he would, and we're pretty certain we'll see him on the field one day [in a real game], hopefully here."
WATCH: Rogers meets his family for first time since coming out
The Chicago Fire acquired his rights during the offseason from the Columbus Crew, for whom Rogers played five seasons before signing in January 2012 with Leeds United in England. Arena said it would be "inappropriate" to discuss any interest he might have in signing Rogers, but the 25-year-old winger is from Southern California and trained with the Galaxy last summer during the English offseason.
Rogers saw some action last fall for Leeds United and on loan to Stevenage, but he hasn't played since departing Leeds "by mutual consent" four months ago and believed he needed to step away from the game when he came out publicly in February.
READ: Fire's Klopas says team's goal is still to sign Rogers
"We've just been in contact for while and offered him the opportunity to train whenever he felt he was ready to get back in and give it a go," Arena said. "He looked a lot sharper than I thought he would today, given the fact that he's been away from the game for awhile."
Rogers, whose return to the field came a day after NBA center Jason Collins announced through a Sports Illustrated story that he was gay, tweeted after training that he "had a great first day back w/@LAGalaxy. Very appreciative that Bruce is allowing me to train w/the team to get back in shape." He then tweeted a link to an Instagram photo of him during the session and wrote, "Genuinely feels great to step back on the pitch."
Had a great first day back w/ @lagalaxy. Very appreciative that Bruce is allowing me to train w/ the team to get back in shape. #legsinbits— Robbie Rogers (@robbierogers) April 30, 2013
Stole this from @lagalaxy today... Genuinely feels great to step back on the pitch. instagram.com/p/Yve53xp3V4/— Robbie Rogers (@robbierogers) April 30, 2013
Donovan called Rogers "an inspiration to all of us as human beings."
"I think he's paving the way not only for gay-lesbian-transgender-bisexual people and athletes, but for all of us to be OK with who we are, and he's paved the way for [Collins] coming out," Donovan said. "At the end of the day, I believe we're all human beings and we all have differences, and that should unite us. Unfortunately, it separates us a lot of the time.
"He's showing us that it's OK to be human and be yourself ... We can all learn a lot from him."

Spring Barrel Is April 18-19 — Lots of Wine Tasting
Rattlesnake Hills Spring Barrel Tasting is on the way! I love going around to each vineyard and trying new wine. And April 18-19, member vineyards pull down their premium barrels and let us all in on the action! The Rattlesnake Hills Wine Trail is so much fun to get involved with. It happens once a year and the experience each time is genuWINE!
This is an experience that Yakima Valley and Tri-Cities people -- as well as folks from around the rest of the region -- can enjoy!
A few of my friends are actually renting a bus so they can hit every vineyard without having to drive. This is such a great idea. Have fun and drink responsibly!
For more information on each winery and their hours, visit Rattlesnake Hills Wine Trail website.

"Frühling im Moor (Spring on the Moor)", ca. 1939
Crayon, charcoal, red chalk on paper
Expertise Rainer Noeres from 21.3.2015
Otto Modersohn Museum, Fischerhude
Expertise Rainer Noeres from 21.3.2015
- with craftsman's frame -
Landscape compositions usually drawn on envelopes or other scraps of paper formed an inexhaustible pictorial reservoir for the ageing artist, who since losing vision in his right eye in 1936 created his paintings from memory or from oil studies and compositional sketches. The arresting immediacy and rapid brushstrokes evident on these sheets vividly underscore that the painter had lost none of his artistic passion and mastery. In "Spring on the Moor", one can almost hear the spring storm whipping across the countryside. The houses themselves appear to almost cower and retreat into the landscape, and even the viewer is tempted to turn up his collar and draw his cap down over his face - such is the freshness and spontaneity with which the artist has captured this storm-swept scene - despite the abstracting impact of the omission of colour. His choice of pallid grey and black, the dark, reddish-brown of the sanguine and the tonality of the paper are characteristic of Otto Modersohn's drawings in his later years - in common with the sketchy, stenographic-style shorthand applied to depict the features of the landscape with stylised cipher-like simplification. Casually rendered hatchings and intricate webs of lines in which the objects appear to dissolve cover the entire sheet. "Spring on the Moor" belongs to the so-called "evening sheets", which the artist completed in his living room. They were inspired by the sketch books which he always carried with him on his daily excursions into the natural countryside in order to quickly jot down his impressions with a few sparse strokes and marks. The results were only intended for his own personal consumption, and it was the artist's declared intention to translate these compositional sketches - which his second wife, the painter Paula Modersohn, labelled as his best - into oil paintings. From 1993 onwards, he began fulfilling this objective, although by no means all the sketches found their way into his painted œuvre.

Concepcion And Mañalac Alternate As Alan Strang In Repertory Philippines' EQUUS, 7/9-7/25
Repertory Philippines, a premier professional theatre company that recently staged Stephen Sondheim's "Sweeney Todd" and Mark Saltzman's "Romeo & Bernadette", ends its current season on a high by restaging its old '70s hit play in Peter Shaffer's riveting psychological drama "Equus". Seasoned theatre actor but first-time straight play director Audie Gemora ("Sweeney Todd", "Man of La Mancha") assembles a powerhouse cast in this incarnation of Shaffer's masterpiece headlined by two young and promising thespians Red Concepcion ("Altar Boyz", "Romeo & Bernadette") and Marco Mañalac ("Nickelodeon", "Myx VJ Search") alternating as the deeply disturbed seventeen-year-old Alan Strang.
In "Equus", psychiatrist Martin Dysart meets his most challenging case in Alan Strang who has been charged with the crime of blinding six horses by gouging out their eyes. As the play unravels, one realizes that beneath the surface of the crime lies another dimension of the human psyche more terrifying than what it seems to be.
Avid theatre-goers in London and on Broadway had recently revisited the conflicting rhetorical worlds of Doctor Dysart and Strang when "Equus" was revived with Daniel Radcliffe of "Harry Potter" film series fame, which requires full-frontal nudity in two important scenes.
Like Daniel, Repertory Philippines' actors Red and Marco are bold enough and ready to face the challenges of the material and their adult audiences by opening night Friday, July 9, 2010.
"Everyone in the cast has been so good to me - I know they are all really famous and great, and yet they each take his or her time to help me out, suggesting how I do a scene. It makes me feel so relaxed and it gives me a lot of confidence knowing they are there with me," said Marco, who is both terrified and excited about his theatre debut.
In contrast to Marco, Red is seen in several Repertory Philippines productions, which should make him an "old pro". But not in this play. He doesn't feel totally comfortable at all with his role. Not that he doesn't like it - in fact, it is a challenge to him. Alan Strang is the anti-thesis of all the other roles he has done, which were mostly wholesome "cotton candy" characters.
"The character of Alan is unpredictable. He is not crazy in the conventional way most people think of "crazy". It's just that he has this unbridled (pardon the pun) passion that terrifies convention. He goes on: Taking on the role of Alan has been a challenge. I usually think of my stuff before I go onstage, like I already have everything planned out. But in this case, it's all blank. Our director tells me to go free fall, and be in the moment, and not think about what I'm supposed to do next. It's like a child having a tantrum - it's unplanned and the only thing the child knows is he's going to catch attention and the tantrum will work - that's what Alan is," said Red.
In this new production of "Equus", Red and Marco are joined onstage by theatre veterans Tami Monsod as Dora Strang, Jaime del Mundo as Frank Strang, Miguel Faustmann as Martin Dysart, Roselyn Perez as Hesther Salomon, Dido dela Paz as Harry Dalton, and Pheona Baranda as Jill Mason.
The play is strictly for adults only.
EQUUS playdates are July 9, 10, 16, 17, 23 and 24 at 8PM, and July 10, 11, 17, 18, 24, 25 at 3:30PM. Venue is Onstage, 2/F Greenbelt One, Paseo de Roxas cor. Legazpi Sts., Makati City. For ticket inquiries, call (632) 887-0710 or log on to http://repertory.ph.

The NinjaTrader platform is a sophisticated trading tool used by many traders around the world – so why should your indicators not be as sophisticated and expertly? The Quantum Trading indicators provides the most essential tools for trading various instruments – assessing risk leading to consistency thus resulting to profitable trades. This is the mantra for building a healthy and growing trading account.
In trading, there are only two risks to consider:
- The financial risk
- The risk on the trade
The first is easy and dealt with as part of your risk and money management. The second is much more difficult to assess. This portfolio of indicators, has been designed with one objective in mind. To address the second of these. In other words, to help you assess, quantify, and manage the risk on the trade from start to finish.
Getting in with tick charts
Quantum Trading brings you one of the core indicators that you should have in your trading arsenal – a must for professional traders. The Quantum Tick Speedometer introduces you to trading with tick charts, opening a whole new world of trading opportunities and possibilities. Now, trading tick charts may seem tricky as you don't have ANY idea which is the most appropriate number of ticks to create charts with. The Quantum Tick Speedometer effectively converts time charts to tick charts, solving the relentless problem of choosing the RIGHT tick chart to trade on.
Staying in
Staying in is the hardest part for most traders. The market never moves higher or lower in a straightforward way. Pullbacks and reversals are part and parcel of every move. But this is where emotional trading decisions can be destructive, both to your confidence and to your account. This is where success lies. If you can ignore these emotions, and continue to hold a position through these phases of confidence, that inner belief, and calm the emotional response. Why?

On Monday, LOCOG confirmed the names of the official Olympic torchbearers for the London 2012 Olympics. I'm proud to confirm I'll be carrying the torch in Cumbria in June.
|Afternoon tea to celebrate the LOCOG announcement
After the official announcement on
http://www.london2012.com/games/olympic-torch-relay/torchbearers/detail/E3B0-2D56-85F8-5840, various other publications picked up the story:
|Fell-running near Haweswater, 11 and 25 March 2012
|And did those feet in ancient time, Walk upon England's mountains green?
|And was the Holy Lamb of God, On England's pleasant pastures seen?
Among the online news stories, I was surprised to find that I'm not the first Duncan Vaughan to carry the Olympic torch to the London Olympics. In 1948, Shaftesbury School old-boy, Duncan Vaughan, carried the torch on its way to that summer's London Olympics:
When my Dad and my Auntie Joan watch me carry the torch in Cumbria, it will be the first time they've seen it since 1948. My Auntie Joan said the last time she saw it, it was disappearing down Windsor High Street. After 64 years, I hope it will be worth the wait!

Nišville Jazz festival
Nis in Serbia, 7 – 16 August 2020
Nis in Serbia, 7 – 16 August 2020
Except Exit Festival, Serbia has one more festival that takes place in the fortress.
This fortress, in the city of Nis, in southern Serbia, dates from 1723 – a period when the Turks ruled over the city and the area.
It is one of the most beautiful medieval fortresses that is based on the foundations of what once was a Roman fortress over the time.
What is important is that this venue is in the center of the city, surrounded with hotels, restaurants, tourist info center, bus stations etc.
Each year Nišville jazz festival attracts 100.000 visitors with legendary guests such as the saxophonist Grace Kelly or Solomon Burke who attended the festival in the past.
Nis is 235 km from the country's capital Belgrade, 155 km from Sofia Bulgaria, and just over 200 km from the Macedonian capital of Skopje.
From all three of these cities you can come by bus, train to visit Nišville.
When: 7 – 16 August 2020
Where: Nis, Serbia
Map: Nis on Google Maps
Official website: nisville.com
Hotels: Overview of all hotels in Nis
Art Loft Hotel, is even more fascinating with its artistically designed rooms and fine art. Fantastic rates by the guests gives this hotel almost 10 of 10 points.
This one is also in the center but not too far away from the fortress. You should at least check out the pictures from the place – they are really great.
Best Western Hotel – My Place, a nice four star hotel and one of the best rated hotels in Nis with 9 points of 10 !
Right in the center and just across the river, near the fortress, where the festivals in Nis is held.

Article Title
The law of libel and slander in Virginia is unsettled. Even defining the terms is difficult. While many states classify libel and slander as separate torts, in Virginia defamation encompasses them both. Moreover, there are two separate definitions of "defamation per se" in Virginia. There are also two types of "malice" which are applicable in defamation actions; and to make matters worse, one type of "malice" which actually is not malice at all is called "actual malice."

No Way But This
In Search of Paul Robeson
The singer and actor Paul Robeson was one of the most celebrated African-Americans of his time, but sacrificed fame and fortune for his political ideals. Blending biography with travelogue, the author follows Robeson from Harlem to Spain, the Welsh valleys and Moscow.
Emily Wilding Davison
The Martyr Suffragette
Emily Davison's death beneath the king's horse at the 1913 Derby has overshadowed the life that led up to it. Drawing on her own words and those of people who knew her, this biography charts the formative experiences of this intelligent, resourceful and determined woman: an education thwarted by lack of money, work as a governess, and involvement in campaigns about the injustices faced by women that resulted in her imprisonment and force-feeding.
A Rage for Order
The Middle East in Turmoil, From Tahrir Square to Isis
This compelling book tells the dramatic story of the Arab Spring and its troubled aftermath through the lives of ordinary people, showing how the bright hopes of 2011 descended into civil war, autocracy and fanaticism. A Libyan rebel must decide whether to kill his brother's murderer; a jihadi discovers that life in the Islamic State is far from paradise; and two young Syrian women's friendship turns to enmity as their sects go to war.
Primitive Rebels
Studies in Archaic Forms of Social Movement in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries
Social agitation is as essential a part of public life today as it has ever been. Eric Hobsbawm's classic study, reissued with a new introduction by Owen Jones, explores the origins of contemporary rebellion in Robin Hood, Nonconformist dissenters, secret societies, Mafiosi, Spanish anarchists and labour movements. This concise guide provides an insightful analysis of the revolutions that shaped Western civilization, while a selection of historical texts presents the radicals' perspectives in their own words.
What the Suffragists Did Next
How the Fight for Women's Rights Went On
The suffragists of the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (NUWSS) - as distinct from the suffragettes - did not disband in 1917 when the vote was given to some women. Although franchise had been their primary goal, they had other aims for women. This book looks at the lives of eight suffragists and how they continued the struggle for equality in various fields, among them Eleanor Lodge in higher education, Ellen Wilkinson in Socialist politics and Dr Isabel Emslie Hutton in medicine.
The Man, His People and the Empire
Mahatma Gandhi was a man of apparent contradictions: a London-trained lawyer who wore the clothes of India's poorest, an apostle of non-violence who urged Indians to enlist in the First World War, and a champion of independence with an enduring affection for all things British. Drawing on family archives, this monumental biography by his grandson offers a complete and balanced account of Gandhi's life, the development of his political and religious beliefs, and his complex relations with his family.

Showtime picks up 'Episodes,' 'Shameless' for second seasons
February 28, 2011 | 11:52 am
Showtime's two freshman series, "Episodes" and "Shameless," have been picked up for a second season.
Showtime President of Entertainment David Nevins announced that "Shameless," a comedy-drama starring William H. Macy as the often-drunk matriarch of an unconventional family, will have a second-season order of 12 episodes. "Episodes," featuring Matt LeBlanc as the arrogant star of an American sitcom adapted by a British couple, received a second-season order with the number of episodes yet to be determined.
Production for the second season of both shows, which premiered Jan. 9, will begin later this year.

Servicing more than a million pet owners in the United States and Canada, Petplan is one of the top pet insurance companies relied on by pet owners who are looking for injury or illness insurance coverage for their pets. Petplan offers several coverage options that can help you to get just the right coverage for your type of pet, and for the needs of your family.
Important Information About Petplan:
- Petplan does not offer coverage for routine care
- Petplan offers customizable coverage for illness, accident, and injuries
- Petplan covers dogs and cats, but does not cover exotic animals or birds
- On average, prices range from $28 to $57 per month
- Deductibles from $100 to $1,000
- Annual limits from $2,500 to Unlimited
- 5-day waiting period for accidents, 15 day waiting period for illnesses
- 70% to 90% reimbursement available
It's important to recognize that Petplan does not offer coverage for routine care (ex. dental cleanings), and that includes wellness checks as well as the vaccinations and neutering that you may need for your family's pet.
The costs that you could expect to see with your Petplan insurance policy could vary based upon a few factors. The age and breed of your pet, where you live, your annual deductible, reimbursement level, and annual coverage selection all play a role in just how much you will pay. On average you could expect to pay $28 to $57 a month for your policy, but you'll find that discounts are often offered if you pay your premium for a year or more at a time.
Here are some sample quote from June 2nd, 2018:
- $26.23 per month for a New York City based 1-year-old small mixed breed dog (up to 22lb when fully grown) with a $300 annual deductible, 80% reimbursement rate, and $15,000 in annual coverage
While Petplan doesn't cover routine care and pre-existing conditions, there are some solid benefits to the customizable plans offered by this company.
Unlike some pet insurance policies, and policies for humans, Petplan pet insurance does not require you to select a veterinarian from a list of specific providers. You are free to continue using your current preferred veterinarian, and any other that you may need in the future. This can offer huge peace of mind for those who've established a trusting relationship with their vet and vet clinic.
We know there are always going to health-related expenses when we own a pet, and we can adjust our budgets to accommodate the need to vaccinate, do those routine annual visits, and keep our pets on parasite preventatives. It's those unexpected expenses that can knock us sideways, crush our budget, and even lead us to the need to make some tough decisions.
Petplan insurance offers coverage and reimbursement for a number of injuries, hereditary conditions including hip dysplasia, and illnesses, that can oftentimes sneak up on us. Some of the costs covered could include the full costs of diagnostic or treatment exams for illnesses and injuries; this can include specialty treatment and emergency visits. Diagnostic testing, blood work, ultrasounds and other imaging services are also reimbursable. The costs of medications to treat an injury or illness may also be covered.
Some of the other illnesses tied to high costs that Petplan will cover are cancer care, including chemotherapy. Non-routine dental treatments that include gum disease or work on broken teeth are covered, with some provisions. Some alternative and behavioral health treatments are also covered, so that you can treat your pet with holistic methods that may work best for his needs.
Getting accident and injury coverage for your cats and dogs can help to save you thousands of dollars, and offer endless peace of mind, for the life of your pet. Unlike a wellness plan, which will cover the routine and preventative care your pet needs, Petplan insurance coverage will reimburse you for those unexpected and costly expenses related to injuries and illnesses. Preexisting conditions can't be covered, which is why it is often suggested that you invest in a solid pet insurance plan when you first bring your dog or cat home with you.

Thigh Lift
Conveniently located to serve the areas of Santa Monica, Beverly Hills and Greater Los Angeles
The inner and outer thighs are common problem areas for many women and some men who have sagging skin or loose, dimpled skin in their upper legs. The thigh lift is a body contouring and reshaping surgery that tightens and tones the inner and outer thigh areas to create a more balanced look. These problem areas often do not respond to diet and exercise, and many women and men who want to improve the shape and silhouette of their legs can benefit from the thigh lift procedure.
Dr. Zarrabi has been performing the thigh lift (medial and lateral thigh lift) for several years and has perfected his technique for body contouring and reshaping. The thigh lift procedure not only tightens and tones up the skin but can also get rid of dimples that are a result of cellulite. The inner and outer thigh lift cannot be performed at the same time, so this procedure may involve a series of surgeries to achieve optimal results.
Before & After Photos
How the Thigh Lift is Performed
The thigh lift is typically a combination of inner and outer thigh sculpting and reshaping and involves several incisions to perform liposuction and manipulate the skin tissues. For the inner thigh lift, the incisions are created around the groin and inside of the thighs near the buttocks. Dr. Zarrabi can then lift and tighten up the skin and suture it in place to achieve a sleeker and more sculpted look. The result is a smoother appearance and the removal of excess fatty deposits between the thighs.
For the outer thighs, the thigh lift procedure involves creating incisions around the groin and lower hips.
The skin around these areas is then lifted, sculpted and sutured in place, and liposuction may be performed to remove excess fatty deposits in this area.
Any fat removal in this area may also reduce the appearance of cellulite so that the patient no longer has the 'cottage cheese' effect on their outer thighs.
Key Benefit of the Thigh Lift
The thigh lift offers several benefits for both men and women who undergo the procedure. Key benefits of the thigh lift include:
- Smoother, more youthful-looking legs
- A sculpted and toned look
- Tighter and firmer skin around the inner and outer thighs
- Complete removal or significant reduction of cellulite
- A streamlined silhouette and balanced look
Dr. Zarrabi takes a customized approach for each body contouring procedure so that results look natural and only the right amount of fat and skin tissue is removed to create a sleeker, well-defined silhouette. Contact Dr. Zarrabi today for a thigh lift consultation and find out if you are a good candidate for the procedure.

Francis Dufeil's biography
Since 2008, I am resident in Vietnam and I take advantage of my spare time to devote to the photography. I worked in the computing services of the vice-chancellorships of Bordeaux and Nantes between 1980 and 2008. I occupied administrator's post in a middle school(college) of Loire-Atlantique between 1993 and 1996. I discovered Linux in 1998 to the vice-chancellorship of Nantes and do not leave it any more.
Self-educated, I took back my studies in 2003 to the CNAM(NATIONAL CONSERVATORY OF ARTS AND CRAFTS) of Bordeaux. I am a holder of a diploma in Software engineering of company and defender of freeware. I created an association in 2005 " 208 assistance(audience) " in the suburb of Bordeaux ( Lormont) with for theme the access of Free Software on any computer systems until my departure for Vietnam.
I was member of the organizing team of the RMLL in Bordeaux in 2004. I indulge this year to be present in Bordeaux to present you : " how to ally its photographer's activity with free Software ".

Bilingual Education, not Immersion, is More Beneficial for Children
There is ample research to show that bilingualism gives children social, linguistic and cognitive advantages over their peers. Research also indicates that the advantages last well into old age. In other words, bilingualism acts as a kind of brain exercise, keeping the mind sharp well into late adulthood.
St. Mary's Preschool has a balanced bilingual program and curriculum, Mandarin and English, focused heavily on proficient comprehension of the complexities of meaning and grammar. The students think more creatively than their monolingual peers and understand the subtle nuances of words. They also demonstrate a more highly developed ability to vary word usage based on the needs of the listener. Crucial to achieving this is ensuring that the two languages of instruction share the same system – alphabetic or pictorial, based on the Montessori philosophy.
St. Mary's Preschool's bilingual curriculum does more than refine children's cognitive abilities. It makes them brainier. The brains of balanced bilingual children have been challenged by the acquisition of two languages to develop simultaneously multiple representations of items, resulting in superior cognitive skills to those of monolinguals. In addition to a natural ability to understand the concept of numbers earlier in age, extensive studies have shown that they are more highly skilled in visual problem solving and analytical tests.
