When it comes to judging a person's emotional state, we may not rely on facial expressions as much as we think. Instead, it's body language that tells the story.
Of course, it's easy to tell the difference between a wide grin and a pouty frown. But according to a study published Thursday in the journal Science, the facial expressions that go along with moments of intense celebration or frustration, success or failure, may be harder to parse than the accompanying body language.
It's common wisdom among psychologists that people have a remarkable ability to perceive emotion in facial expressions. But according to the new study, carried out by a team led by Hillel Aviezer of Hebrew University in Jerusalem, most of the studies have focused on highly curated collections of faces making forced facial expressions. When studies have used more natural facial expressions, they have tended not to focus on what the authors call the "transient emotional peak" -- that exact moment where things went so right or so wrong.
Are our facial expressions equally telling in such moments? To answer this question, Aviezer and his team collected a selection of photos of professional tennis players as they either won or lost an important point (unfortunately, their grunting was not under study).

I'm a high school English teacher considering making the transition to becoming a school librarian/media specialist. So in seeking out teacher blogs to read, I've been looking for some bloggers who would offer some creative ideas for the English classroom as well as some new ideas for how to incorporate technology in teaching. Makes sense, right? Does to me, anyway. I found three very different blogs, all with something to offer.
Doug Johnson is Director of Media and Technology for Mankato, MN, public schools. His blog, The Blue Skunk Blog "serves as a sounding board for ideas [he is] currently thinking/writing about." (I include this blog under the "Educator Blog" category because it seems to me that Johnson writes as an educator who happens to be a librarian. In addition, this is not a blog primarily representing a school library.) This blog is funny, conversational, and thought-provoking. Johnson has been an educator for 35 years and his love and passion for the profession come through in his posts. Some of the things you will find here:
- Questions about how educators might be enabling helicopter parenting
- Guidelines for what teachers should know about social media
- Thoughts on the role of creativity in education
You'll find a lot more, too, including a thoughtful community of followers who comment on and question Johnson's ideas. I really like this blog a lot. Everything from the casual tone to the questions Johnson asks seem designed to help educators step back, consider some larger issues, and reflect on the role they have in the education of this country's children. There is a LOT to explore here – Johnson has been writing the Blue Skunk since 2005 – but exploring it seems like it will be a pleasure.
Moving at the Speed of Creativity
Moving at the Speed of Creativity is technology educator Wesley Fryer's blog. As he explains, he focuses "primarily on issues related to engaged learning, web 2.0 technologies, digital storytelling, educational leadership, literacy, blended learning, creativity, appropriate uses of educational technologies, digital citizenship, and educational transformation." As soon as I read this, I was excited to explore, and I had a fantastic time reading ideas about the intersection of technology and the classroom.
Some of these posts are dense and contain A LOT of ideas. Take this one titled "Serving and Delivering does not equal Teaching or Learning. Fryer uses a 60 Minutes piece on online education content creator Kahn Acadamy as a jumping off point to address the idea that delivering content doesn't mean students learn the content. He then moves on to examples of how when students teach others and create their own online lessons, they learn more. He makes the point (with a Bill Gates quote as reinforcement) that access to resources, technological and otherwise, is important, but isn't everything; access to good educators is just as important, ones who don't simply think knowledge is something to be passed from the teacher to the student. Fryer cites Paolo Freire and others as he builds his argument, concluding that he supports online resources like Kahn Academy, yet also sees them as ways to help us "ask basic questions about teaching and learning." In other words, this is somewhat heady stuff – don't expect feel-good fluff. In reading one of Fryer's posts, expect to do a lot more, including watching linked videos, visiting other web sites, reading outside blogs, and revisiting some of your grad school educational theory. Whew! I'm exhausted!
Here are a few other entries that grabbed my attention:
- Let's Stop Encouraging Teachers to "Teach Technology"
- Occupy Your Digital Identity by Kurt Hochenauer (response to a session Freyer attended at Heartland eLearning Conference at the University of Central Oklahoma)
- A podcast of a keynote address Freyer gave on how we can "inspire and empower ourselves as learners to create, play and share."
Nicholas Provenzano is an English teacher in Michigan and has been blogging since Jan. 1, 2010, about ways to incorporate technology in the classroom. He even has a Masters degree in educational technology and presents regularly at edtech conferences around the country. Honestly, I was kinda turned off by the brag sheet that is Provenzano's "About Me" section, and almost left the blog after my eyes glazed over from reading about how great Provenzano is (Case in point: "In December 2011, my blog was voted the 3rd Most Powerful New Blog in the World. 🙂 I was also nominated for Best Teacher Blog as well."). Despite my misgivings, I soldiered on. I am I glad I did, with reservations. This blog is full of technology ideas and, I hate to say it, but the 3rd Most Powerful Blogger in the World knows his stuff. The guy seems to live, eat, and breathe an intoxicating combination of education, literature, and technology.
The downside of this blog is that it's a little like stepping into a sci-fi novel about half way through. I was immediately greeted with LOTS of acronyms (MACUL, ISTE), techno-jargon, and references to something called "The Rebel Alliance" which seems to be some sort of Twitter-based education reform movement, not a reference to Star Wars . I couldn't find an organized archive of any sort to help me negotiate the blog. After scanning through a bunch of posts, I stumbled upon something familiar – a post about Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Finally! Back on familiar ground. I read three posts about Provenzano's Twain project (here and here) and I was struck by how it combines the familiar (students putting Twain on trial for racism) with the new (using iPads, Twitter, and streaming video at various stages during the project). This is the best of what technology can do; it doesn't reinvent good teaching, but it does facilitate it and keep it engaging for students. I wish Provenzano had included more details about the ways in which he integrated these technologies. I wonder if he includes information in earlier posts about how he managed to get iPads for his students, for instance, or how he uses Twitter as part of his class. Again, an organized archive would be helpful.
I'm still exploring this blog. It seems like being a subscriber or regular reader could pay off and that teachers of all content areas would eventually find some great ideas, including reviews of great classroom tools like this digital microscope. Provenzano even has guest bloggers, such as this one by an employee in the education division at Adobe about the importance of tech ed.
My next step with this blog is to see if I missed something in terms of its organization. I'll keep you posted on the results!
Reflections and Implications for My Life as an Educator
As I've begun exploring more blogs in the education world, I've been a bit annoyed at myself. I'm annoyed that I didn't start reading educator blogs earlier in my teaching career. I found myself writing the following in my Learning Log for SLM508 @ McDaniel College: "The best part about reading [blogs] so far is that in the absence of regular discussions about education through classes and professional development, blogs seem like a fantastic way to keep my teaching new. There are so many great educators with so many fantastic ideas out there, and just reading about them inspires me to try new things and take a different approach. Teaching is the most intellectually and emotionally demanding job I have ever had, and the longer I teach, the more I realize how important it is to surround myself with a community of enthusiastic educators. Whether this community is physical or virtual does not matter that much; either way, it is key to helping me remain committed and enthusiastic." So for me personally, I plan to use blogs to continually inspire me to be a better educator.
I was thinking about how I will be able to "spread the word" to other teachers about how inspiring blogs can be, and I have a few ideas. First, if I do have my own library one day, I think that might give me a good platform to keep my own blog that I can share with other teachers in my building (could email them when I post a new entry and also ask them to subscribe). I believe the key to getting teachers to do something voluntary is to show them how it can be useful and make their lives easier. As a librarian, I could target specific groups of teachers (one content area, for example), and write a blog entry with resources for them, then share it directly with those teachers in my building. I could also work with my building's admin to design some presentations on the power of blogging at faculty meetings. This could be a great way to recruit new readers of my blog and to show other teachers how easy it can be for them to become bloggers themselves. In the virtual world, word of good products spreads. If one department head finds my blog useful, she is likely to tell a colleague at another school, who will let others know about it, etc.
I'm still struggling with how I would use blogs in the classroom. For the second part of this assignment, I had planned on looking at librarian blogs, since I plan to become a school librarian. I think, however, I may shift gears and look at student blogs, as I am hoping they will give me ideas for how I might be able to actually use blogging in the classroom.

This scene is from the wedding reception. you know sometimes it's a great place to meet that special someone. Let's fine out how Aidan and Paul do.
"You again?" Aidan looked right into the blue eyes of the stranger he had run into on his walk earlier. "are you following me?" he joked.
"I should be asking you that same question. I'm here for my cousin's wedding."
"Your cousin?"
"Yeah, Peter. Do you know him?"
"I'm friends with both him and Elliott. I've known them for a long time."
"I'm Paul. You haven't told me your name." Paul smiled at him.
"Aidan," he held out his hand and Paul shook it. "Aidan Mason."
"Aidan. That's an unusual name."
"It's an Irish name; my parents are from there. They immigrated here during the late sixties."
"Irish, huh? I should have known with all those freckles on your face and the red hair." Paul smiled at him again, causing Aidan's stomach to do a couple of flips.
"So why is it that this is the first time I'm meeting you?" Aidan asked him.
"I was away at school at Oxford. I'm one of those Rhode scholars. I liked England so much that I decided to settle down there. I moved back to Connecticut four years ago to start my practice."
"Your practice?" Aidan inquired.
"Hi, guys. I see you two have finally met," Peter interrupted. "I was coming over to see how you were doing."
"Hey, honey, I was wondering where you got off to," Elliott said, walking over and putting his arm around his new husband. "So you finally introduced them."
Peter slapped his spouse on the arm. "Shh," he said, shaking his head.
"Wait a minute. Were you trying to set us up?" Paul asked his cousin.
"Please don't get mad. We just thought since you're single and Aidan's single that maybe you two should meet."
"You thought you'd play matchmaker." Embarrassed, he turned to Aidan. "I'm sorry, Aidan. I didn't know that this wedding was going to be another excuse for my cousin to meddle."
"It's okay. No harm done."
"Hey, from the looks of things it seems you two didn't need our help after all." Elliott waggled his eyebrows suggestively at them.

It is really funny that yesterday Danielle used the same background as I am today and flair from A Flair for Buttons too! Well, this will give you a chance to see how you can use the X Mark's the Spot Cut file and the same products, but have completely different results.
I used papers and embellishments from Studio Calico, resign flowers from Freckled Fawn and Dear Lizzy, and flair from A Flair for Buttons. I did spray paint my raw wood veneer diamonds but white but it did not create a solid cover, it was more of a whitewash look that I absolutely loved when I saw it dry.
That is my son and his great grandfather.
I layered pink letters onto the Word Art Cut File to create my title.
Thank you so much for taking a look at my project today. Head over to The Cut Shoppe and grab a few cut files for yourself. Click HERE.

But this story kind of seems to be working. I'm not really trying to finish it, just kind of poking at it as things come. It's a YA mystery with a small supernatural element. The main character, Addy, knows when someone is going to die but can't do anything to prevent it. This is a rough, unfinished scene between her and her best guy friend, Josiah (Josie). Shawn is her ex. I think that's all you need to know. Enjoy!
Josie looks at me and it's the look I always wanted from Shawn. It's a gaze that sees me, drinks me in like I am the only water he'll ever need. Like I'm a treasure.
His thumb sweeps across my bottom lip on it's way to my cheek. The fire and ice it leaves in its wake scares me, but not nearly as much as whatever in boiling inside me.
"I don't understand," is all I can get out.
A smile creeps across his lips and I can't look away. I can't tear my eyes away from his mouth.
"Don't you?" His long fingers work their way through my hair, coming to rest at the back of my Neck. He tips my head back to face him.
I do understand. "How long...?"
He bends until his forehead grazes mine. "I don't know."
"How can you not know? This is huge and life changing and..." I'm panicking because if he doesn't kiss me, I'll die, and if he does kiss me, I'm ruining that special thing I've only ever had with Josie and why does he smell so freaking good?
He moves to speak into my ear. Not a whisper, but a hushed, reverent church voice. "I don't think you wake up one day in love," he says. "I think you wake up and realize that thing you've felt for a long time is called love."
The panic burst into a zillion butterflies, all scrambling to escape my stomach and soar, taking my heart with them.
Because now I know.
I press up on my toes, gathering Josie's shirt into my fists.
I sigh the moment our lips meet. This is what a kiss is, this feeling of our lips and tongues and bodies anticipating and dancing and leading and following.It's a fencing bout, a waltz, a synchronized swim. For every movement, ever subtle shift I make, he matches with his own.
I'm lost.
His hand slip from my hair, down my back, pressing me against him. As if I could be any closer. As if he could press us together and we'd never have to inhabit our own, solitary bodies again.

UNICEF recently released a short film that urges world leaders to protect children from violence. In many parts of the world, children face the constant threat of war and physical violence. This thought-provoking video aims to convey the need to protect children from these crises.
'The World Upside Down' video campaign was created by the London-based design agency 'Don't Panic.' The video shows an ordinary family enjoying a day out at the park. However, the film takes a dark turn when it turns the family's lives upside down and reveals how different their day would be if they lived in a different part of the world. UNICEF plans to add additional content to the video and include the experiences of real children. These stories cover everything from child trafficking to child refugees.
With one in 10 of the world's children living in a conflict zone, the film urges the UK government to do more to protect children from violence.

Some people have been critical of the lack of youth and young adults on the ELCA's LIFT Task Force...a group that is studying the "eco-system" of the church and making recommendations for the future. Though it's frustrating being the youngest member of the task force, I'm grateful that, in many ways, the real work of the LIFT initiative doesn't take place in board rooms and conference calls. It occurs throughout the entire eco-system; in congregations, homes, synod groups, colleges, camps, etc. We all bear responsibility for discerning what God is calling us to be and do in the future.
I've enjoyed several opportunities in the last few months to be about this kind of conversations. The most recent of these conversations took place at the NE Iowa Synod Lutheran Youth Organization Assembly in Mason City, IA. This event is near and dear to my heart, as it was the site of the first assembly I attended as a member of the synod LYO board 16 years earlier.
For my part, the pieces I used to talk about the LIFT Task Force were similar to the ones incorporated at the Oregon LYO Assembly. One of my favorite exercises is, after an Acts 2 Bible study, to ask small groups of kids to make three lists.
- Essential elements of a 21st century church
- Helpful, but not essential, elements
- Elements that are neither helpful nor essential
Here are some of the themes that emerged from the "essential ~ helpful ~ neither" activity.
- God's Word and faithful people are required to "be church"; but a church building isn't.
- Leaders were considered essential; Pastors were considered helpful.
- Sacraments are central to a faith community.
- Money, music, food, and programs are helpful in proclaiming the gospel, but not essential.
- Several groups lifted up the importance of acts of service and outreach.
- Technology was considered helpful, but the overuse or idolization technology is not.
- Robes, fancy clothes, and sermon notes were popular items on the neither list.
It was a joy to be with these young people and their adult leaders. They had lots of fun talking, learning, swimming, singing, dancing, and playing together. I remain pleased and grateful that so many young people have a deep and genuine care for the future of our church. I pray that we continue to make room for their voices to be heard in our congregations, synods, and throughout the whole church.

Fairy tales offer a break from a sometimes harsh reality. Through reading, one can travel to the realm of fantasy: Alice's Wonderland, the Lost Boys' Neverland, Dorothy's Oz. Books allow any child (or adult) to experience a magical world that offers an escape from the mundane, the restricted, the oppressive.
Recently, we spoke with Gregory Maguire, author of the best-selling novel "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West" and other books. He gave us some insight into the process of beginning to write and appreciating the enchanted.
Maguire, 53, said he was, from an early age, interested in the escape offered by fairy tales. His home wasn't exactly magical; his father and stepmother were strict. But they did create a home that nurtured his natural talents.
"I grew up in a household steeped in love of language," said Maguire, who lives in Massachusetts.
His father was a journalist; his stepmother, a poetry lover. This exposure to the arts early in life encouraged Maguire to explore the power of writing. He felt drawn to fantasy worlds such as C.S. Lewis' Narnia, Lewis Carroll's Wonderland, Frank Baum's Oz.

Had An Unforgettable Summer? It Can't Compare To Cathy's!
Sheila Chilcote-Collins | Collinswood, Van Wert, OH USA | 05/14/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Tennessee Williams SOUTHERN GOTH masterpiece a la dark black and white Hollywood film style with Joseph (All About Eve, Guys & Dolls) Mankiewicz at the director's helm and screenplay adapted by Gore Vidal.
Elizabeth Taylor plays beautiful and crazy Cathy and Mercedes McCambridge (the actress who provided the voice of the demon in The Exorcist) plays her protective mother. Katherine Hepburn is Auntie Venable and wants niece Cathy to have a lobotomy to help her forget what she witnessed in regards to her son and Cathy's cousin, Sebastian and his untimely & somewhat mysterious "death" involving Sebastian's sexual secrets...
This all happened in front of Cathy's young & virginal eyes, "Suddenly, Last Summer". Last summer, Cathy and Sebastian travelled to Europe on an extravagant, decadent & obviously quite hedonistic vacation. Mrs. Venable was already quite traumatized by a baby sea turtle massacre last summer on the Galapogos Islands and Kathy was raped that very summer but what happened to cousin Sebastian in Europe was something that completely broke Kathy's fragile mind.
Auntie Venable gets the help of Dr. Cukrowicz, played by Montgomery Clift to see if he can help poor Cathy out with a prescibed lobotomy and mainly to save the selfish & overbearing Mrs. Venable from having people know about her son's secrets that got him killed.
From the opening scene, the viewer is riveted to the screen and left wondering... wondering... WHAT really happened so suddenly, last summer? The film builds and builds into the last 20 minutes of this film where Taylor gives a tremendous soliliquy and overview of just what DID happen to poor Sebastian. The split-screen effect that is used in this ending scene is fabulous. You never see Sebastian so what you are conjuring up in your mind is MUCH MORE horrific than they could have filmed back then. Wonderful cast with excellent performances from all but Clift who was quite medicated during the grueling shoot due to an accident before filming. If you are a Tennessee Williams, Elizabeth Taylor or Katharine Hepburn fan this is a MUST SEE!
Happy Watching!"
The strength of the performances make this film sizzle
Linda Linguvic | New York City | 05/07/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This 1959 film starred both Elizabeth Taylor and Katherine Hepburn. Each is a fine actress in her own right. But put them together, and the screen just sizzles. Each one has long monologues lasting for more than 15 minutes, but, because of their talents, I was riveted to my seat the entire time. Adapted from a play by Tennessee Williams who was joined by Gore Vidal in writing the screenplay, it's a strikingly weird story set in 1937 New Orleans and deals with the sensitive subjects of insanity, lobotomy and cannibalism. When we consider that the film was released during a time of high censorship, we have to applaud the writing, which had to conform to the guidelines of the time. Perhaps for this reason though, some of the story is not quite crystal clear. But this doesn't matter, nor does it matter that the Southern accents seem either non-authentic or missing altogether. That's because of the strength of the performances. And not every detail has to always be tied up in a neat package. If you're looking for a lightweight, comfortable film, you won't find it here. Instead you'll find a disturbing controversial theme and some of the best on-screen performances by you'll ever see."
Mark Norvell | HOUSTON | 11/16/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Watered down film version of Tennesee Williams' stage play that contains one of the most horrific storylines brought to the screen at the time (1959). Katharine Hepburn is memorable as the very weird Mrs. Violet Venable, a wealthy New Orleanian matron who keeps a monstrous jungle of carnivorous plants on her patio grounds. She attempts to procure the services of a new young neuro-surgeon (Montgomery Clift) with a radically new method of lobotomy to lobotomize her supposedly mad niece Catherine (a stunning Elizabeth Taylor) to shut-up her ramblings about the death of Violets' son, Sebastian, who died a grotesque death "suddenly last summer". Of course, Catherine isn't mad but still in shock since she witnessed Sebastians' death. While showing her "garden" to the doctor, Mrs.Venable relates a morbid story of she and Sebastian witnessing baby turtles being devoured by sea birds as they scrambled for their lives to the ocean. This tale is allegorical to the way Sebastian died but Mrs.Venable is in extreme denial about the nature of his death and the twos' true relationship. The doctor begins interviewing Catherine and discovers the truth through the use of truth serum. Sebastian was a sexual predator who used his mother while they vacationed to attract young men and when Violet was no longer young or pretty enough he turned to Catherine. This leads to the horrible revelations about his death that Violet Venable is determined to stop Catherine from revealing---even if it means a lobotomy. This is amazing subject matter for the time and daringly brought to the screen. The film is somewhat stagily done but fascinating to watch thanks to the awesome performances of Hepburn and Taylor. Essential viewing for truly off-beat psycho-drama and what could be gotten away with in 1959 when handled properly. Give this one a good watching."
Raw power, nightmarish events, an untimely death--and amazin
Matthew G. Sherwin | last seen screaming at Amazon customer service | 11/04/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Suddenly, Last Summer is an excellent film adaptation of Tennessee Williams' play of the same name. The cast couldn't be better: Katherine Hepburn, Montgomery Clift and Elizabeth Taylor star in this horrifying drama. Although two hours long, you'll never stir once in your seat. The excellent dialogue holds your attention and the convincing acting is nothing short of stellar.
When the film begins, a wealthy middle aged widow named Violet Venable (Katherine Hepburn) still suffers the pain from the loss of her son Sebastian the previous summer. Although Violet wants to remember her son as a "chaste" man, her niece Cathy Holly (Elizabeth Taylor) unconsciously remembers the actual events that led to Sebastian's tragic and untimely death. Violet can't stand the fact that Cathy remembers just a bit too much about Sebastian, so she tries to bribe a doctor (Montgomery Clift) to lobotomize Catherine so that her son's memory will never be defiled.
It's a race against time as Dr. Cukrowicz (Montgomery Clift) becomes intrigued by Catherine's story and unusual memory loss. The doctor is under intense pressure to lobotomize Cathy from both Violet Venable and his boss at the asylum where Catherine is being kept. However, Dr. Cukrowicz wants to see if Catherine can be made to tell the truth--and avoid a lobotomy at the last minute.
The plot moves along very well and certain images could scare sensitive people. Sebastian's garden is an eerie place that reflects superlative set design; and the split screen at the end when Cathy finally does remember exactly how Sebastian died will stay in your head for quite a while after you view this film.
The DVD contains few real extras; we do get the theatrical trailer for the film and you can select scenes to view and setup the audio as you wish from several options.
Suddenly, Last Summer is one of those rare films that are truly memorable well after you've seen them. Although you can't be squeamish in order to handle the ending of this film, I believe this is one of the best films ever made. When you watch this film you will be riveted by the action and plot development just as I was.
I highly recommend this film for film buffs and for people who want to see Katherine Hepburn perform a tour de force as a ghastly villain. People who enjoy films with Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift will also appreciate this movie.


text: Mary and the BerryThere was once a young maiden named Mary, Who had no sheep to graze in the prairie. She was pretty and sweet, Could never say no to a treat, And always dreamt of meeting a fairy. She wanted to be independent and might, To prove she could really put up a fight. But was suppressed and controlled, By great ogres at night, Who would keep her locked up, In a tower out of spite, For she had taken their last shiny berry. Tears ran down her face as she wept, For this fate she could not bear to accept. The berry she hid for emergency only, But indeed it kept her from feeling so lonely. One sparkly bright night, With a full moon in clear sight, Mary sang and wished for a pony, To run with in the fields, And laugh and feel full of yields, And no longer feel all skinny and bony. Light streamed through the moon, And the berry transformed in full bloom, To a stunning red little fairy. Your wish my command, She said with a whisk of her wand, And Mary was full of joy and so airy! Quickly she blinked like a star, And with the grace of a czar, She made her prized wish. The fairy turned with a swish, The room filled with light, And Mary felt so delight, As her wish was appearing before her! A palace from the tower appeared, And as the ogres drew near, In dark grey clouds they disappeared. As sheep they emerged, For so Mary had urged, The berry had magically purged them. So she now had her sheep, And also met Little Bo Peep. They lived a life full of leisure, But always with good measure, As they ran and played in the prairie. Then out of nowhere two princes appeared, The unaware maidens they neared, Briskly lifted them of their feet, And being so royally discreet, So began their majestic love affairs.

Properly maintained and managed, a well-built wood pallet is one of the most sustainable products in the marketplace. To that point, we've documented wood pallets in some of our pools that have been in service for over 10 years!
The good news is you don't have to scrap the pallet.
Here are some of the other end uses for wood pallets:
- Salvage the remaining good boards for reuse to repair or remanufacture other pallets.
- Grind the pallet for reuse as animal bedding, mulch or fuel.
- Make furniture. The internet is full of ideas for converting wood pallets into tables, couches, wall shelving, wine racks, nursery planters and even a house.*
- Make a backyard bonfire (where legal).*
* Important Notes:
- While a bonfire or making furniture from pallets may sound like a great idea, the recycled material may not be safe for all uses.
- Used pallets can be found in a variety of areas, so please check with the property owner before removing a pallet to ensure the pallet is designated for scrap removal and not being used by the business.
What is your best non-shipping use of a wood pallet? Share your photos with us below.

Can you a Sonnet write without its rhyme?
Now people want the modern verse that's free;
As ideas get stuck and cramped with time,
A Sonnet's like leafless branches of tree!
A Sonnet's great for men who rhyme too well;
Its beauty lives in metre, rhythm, rhyme;
Yet, it can never run into 'pel-mel';
The sonneteer can write in any clime.
Why abhor rhymes and not a Sonnet write?
Each genre has its rules to comply with;
Why sleep all day and stay awake all night?
Rhyme-play is done by Kindergarden kith!
Why ridicule something you can't do well,
Much things are done by practice, Sonnets tell.

Blind Chinese dissident Chen Guangchen made a dramatic telephone appeal to come to the United States in a call broadcast live to a U.S. congressional hearing on Thursday.
"I want to come to the U.S. to rest. I have not had a rest in 10 years," Chen said, his comments made on a mobile telephone that was held up to a microphone at the hearing. "I'm concerned most right now with the safety of my mother and brothers. I really want to know what's going on with them."

Our Little Trip: Hvaleyri2 7 Share Tweet
Hvaleyri is a flat, ear-shaped peninsula at the south shore of Hvalfjörður in Iceland. It's a perfect place to take a walk by the seaside, enjoy beautiful landscape, and observe birds.
My husband and I have been living in Iceland for five years now. My affection for this island gets stronger and stronger with each year. I want to know every single corner of it. That's why we travel around quite often.
We visit Hvaleyri 2-3 times per year. Mostly in the summer. It isn't far from Reykjavik, so it's a perfect destination for a one-day trip. We packed some sandwiches, fill our thermoses, and dress for the weather. Usually we take a relaxing walk. My husband enjoys the view and fresh air. Meanwhile, I collect little stones, shells, and everything that has an interesting shape, pattern or color.
My favourite part in these trips is when we reach the tip of the peninsula. A little orange lighthouse was built there in 1948. It's name is Hvaleyrarviti. If the weather is fine, we stay there for a while. We sit between the stones and listen to the ocean.
If you are traveling in Iceland and you have some spare time, Hvaleyri is a lovely place to visit. I won't lie – it isn't the most beautiful location in Iceland, but year by year we come back here to enjoy peace and tranquility.

No rural posting: DASE
Chennai: Representatives of medical students, IMA and Doctors' Association for Social Equality (DASE) have been demanding over the last few weeks that the Centre should withdraw its proposal of compulsory one-year rural posting for MBBS doctors who are aspiring to pursue PG.
DASE again sought to know why the government could not make rural service permanent instead of making it compulsory. "MBBS doctors who wish to pursue post-graduation should compulsorily work in rural areas for one year. We are ready to do so, but we need permanent posts," said Prashanth, secretary, Tamil Nadu Medical Students Association.
G.R. Ravidranath, DASE general secretary, said that there are 366 medical colleges in India. "If this rural posting is made mandatory, then every year these doctors will serve primary health centres and their juniors will do the same.
"If this situation prevails, then there will not be any permanent jobs," he said.
Instead of five-and-a-half years, students have to spend six-and-a-half years now. "How many women will come forward to spend 6.5 years," he asked. He also said the government is planning to bring in 'Exit test'.
"Where is the need for exit test when students are studying only in those colleges approved by MCI?" he said.

Cleaver-Brooks ion exchange water softeners remove hardness, preventing
scale buildup on heat transfer surfaces while maintaining
peak boiler efficiency.
Removing hardness also
reduces the need for expensive chemical treatment to control scale. Cleaver-Brooks water softeners are available in package design for virtually any commercial or industrial application. A water softener is recommended whenever raw hardness exceeds 1 ppm. Water softeners are available for boilers of all sizes, including multiple boiler applications, steam or hot water.
Models SMR and FMR
Available in single-, twin- or triplex tank designs and include resin tank(s), brine tank, face-piping, diaphragm valve nest and cycle controller. They feature carbon steel tanks with epoxy lined interiors and utilizes water activated diaphragm valves and an electronic controller.
Models FSE and SSE
Available in single-, twin- or triplex tank designs and include resin tank(s), brine tank, resin, piping, multi-position top-mounted pison valves, flow meters and electronic demand controller. FSE model has plastic tanks for easy installation. SSE model has steel tanks with top-mounted valves.
Model CRS
Crossover twin alternating systems with plastic tanks and a single top-mounted valve that controls both tanks. Includes resin tanks, brine tank, single valve with CRS controller and interconnecting piping. They provide a continuous supply of softened water with one tank in service and one tank in either regenerating or in standby. Solid-state CRS controls provide a simple, reliable operation.
Recover 90% of heat lost during blowdown
To ensure a boiler runs properly
over the course of its lifetime, treating the water that circulates within the
system is mandatory. If the water is not treated properly, the boiler will
begin to have problems within the first year, and its useful life will be
significantly shortened. Boiler symptoms resulting from untreated water include
overheating, failure to produce hot water or steam, a drop in the boiler flow
rate and an overall loss of efficiency.

Brooklyn, NY, Feb. 2, 2011 /Press Release/ — WorlDental.org, online Dental Health Magazine reported about more than 1500 free dental events since the last February.
More than 1 million readers were able to find affordable and free dental services.
Many organizations and dental insurers recognize February as Dental Health Month, the time when dental professionals try to raise awareness about the importance of dental health and offer free dental care to needy.
"More than 40% of Americans do not have dental insurance", said Christina Malitowski, editor of WorlDental.org.
"According to recent study, that prevents 83% of them from having dental check-ups."
"Dental Health Month is a chance for uninsured to receive dental care they need", explained Malitowski.
During February thousands of dentists and dental clinics volunteering in programs such as Give Kids A Smile, Dentistry From the Heart providing free dental education and services to uninsured kids and adults across the country.
"We all know that dental health is very important. WorlDental.org regularly reports about free dental events scheduled to reach people in need of help," said Malitowski.
"We also encourage dentist and other dental professionals to take a part in these great events."
Patients who are interested in finding free dental care can visit WorlDental.org site's section: Free Dental Care Reports.
Very few low-income people know where to ask for affordable and free dental help.
Most of volunteer dentists use Internet to inform needy about events scheduled. However, the economic crisis reduced the number of dentists willing to provide free dental care services.
"We saw the increase of visitors coming to WorlDental.org in search of free and affordable dental care opportunities since last year," said Christina Malitowski.
"And we are glad that we can provide them information about care they can afford."
For more information on oral health and free dental care, visit www.worldental.org.
WorlDental.org, popular online dental health magazine with more than 127,000 visitors per month, posts oral health articles, dentistry news and affordable dental care opportunities.

Transfernation, Inc. Transfernation, Inc.
Here's a sample of our volunteer opportunities:VIEW AS
Mission Statement
Transfernation, Inc. is a registered non-profit which leverages technology to find sustainable solutions to food waste and hunger. Currently we work to ensure extra food from events goes to support underserved communities as the first step in a cultural shift in how we view our extra food.
Transfernation operates off three seperate models of food redistribution. The first is by partnering social institutions with corporations and events they have the capacity to work with through our online platform. This works like a google calander as we aim for it to be populated with events from which social institutions can select those which make the most sense for their organization. Secondly for events which are more instantanous or for those we cannot find a partner we will cordinate volunteers to pick up the excess food and bring it to a nearby shelter or soup kitchen. Finally we look to ride or volunteer donation through organizations with delivery infastructure (e.g. Uber)

The tough helmeted Sabine cookie who drives the chariot of MARS.
She also drives a mean spear in the thick of battle. In fact she's a bloodthirsty warrior who loves to rampage on the battlefield.
Rumors abound that under the helmet she may be the sister or wife of MARS. No-one seems very sure. Under the Greeks she was known as ENYO and was just as vicious.

Take One!
I am happy to report that with fifteen days to go on my Kickstarter Mural Project I am seventy percent funded! Words really can not describe. Every time I think about those of you who have donated I feel so touched, humbled. When I started this I thought that for sure a few obligated family members would pitch in a little, but wow. There have been family members, friends and people I don't even know. Thank you thank you thank you. I am really excited that painting this mural just might become a reality! I am not too proud to go around town putting up Take One Posters.


text: Digital The FishbowlDC Interview With ABC7's Van Cleave By Eddie Scarry|July 27, 2012Share By Eddie Scarry|July 27, 2012Share Kris Van Cleave may be the first person to ever send his responses to our lengthy FBDC Interview off a smartphone. We noticed the "Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4GLTE smartphone" signature on his email and thought 1. Who answers this many questions on a phone?!" 2. Who has a 4GLTE?! He told us he didn't actually answer all of the questions on his phone, but said his responses "may benefit from a spell check." Van Cleave is going on six years as a general assignment reporter for ABC7/WJLA. He has received multiple awards over the span of his journalism career, including a Regional Edward R. Murrow Team Coverage Award for reporting on the the 2009 Metro collision. Before coming to D.C., Van Cleave was a reporter in San Diego and Colorado Springs. As for his personal life, he kept it brief: "Not married, no kids." He didn't always want to work in TV news. "I thought maybe I could be a sports announcer," he said, "but the desire to eat overwhelmed that." His family moved to LA before high school and an anchor, Ross Becker, took him under his wing and he remains a close friend and mentor to this day. Van Cleave said watching the media cover the 1993 Southern California wildfires and the 1994 Northridge earthquake sold him on TV. His dream job: to be a network correspondent. But he says he has a "wonderful situation" at WJLA. Let's begin. If you were a carbonated beverage, which would you be? Diet Barq's…plenty of bite, but fewer calories. How often do you Google yourself? Hourly. I also spend time each day looking for a unicorn. What's the worst thing you've ever said to an editor/boss (or vice versa)? "Wow (boss who won't be named), you're the same age as my parents!" Who is your favorite working journalist and why? Martha Raddatz—she's one of my news heroes. Her reporting is fearless — she goes to some of the most dangerous places on earth time and again. Her coverage of U.S. troops abroad and here at home has been compelling, heartfelt, and powerful. Plus, she's gracious and more than willing to help a younger reporter get better. Do you have a favorite word? Schweinefleisch! Hard to work into a sentence, but fun to say. Who would you rather have dinner with – FNC's Bill O'Reilly, NBC's Brian Williams or ABC's Diane Sawyer? Tell us why. Diane. I haven't had the opportunity to meet her yet. Brian Williams would be a close second. When I was in college he let me shadow him for part of a day. I've always been grateful for that. The Earth's human population is dying out and you must save it. You will spend a romantic evening with either CNN's Candy Crowley or FNC's Greta Van Susteren (significant others will understand). Who will it be? How quickly are we dying out? What swear word do you use most often? The one that starts with F and its many variations. You've just been told the big news: You get to have your own Sunday morning talk show. Who will be on your roundtable? (Pick four journalists or pundits types.) Let's make Sunday morning TV something to see…Bill O'Reilly, Ann Coulter, Bill Maher and Rachel Maddow. Perhaps we could have Pugil Sticks? On a serious note for a moment, if you could have dinner with a person who has died, who would it be? Either of my grandfathers. I never got meet them. Who is your favorite Boybander and why?

Part of National Museums Liverpool
Also in this section…?
Between 1830 and 1930 about forty million people left Europe in search of a new and better life.
About nine million of them sailed from Liverpool, then the largest emigration port in the world. These people were mostly travelling to North America, Australia and New Zealand - the 'New World'.
Most who sailed from Liverpool were ordinary people leading ordinary lives. Many found their better life, others were less fortunate.
Many of them, and their descendants, made major contributions to the development of the countries to which they emigrated.
This gallery tells their story, including
The former exhibition On their own: Britain's child migrants looked at the stories of the children who were sent from Britain to Canada, Australia and other Commonwealth countries through child migration schemes between 1869 and 1967.
Find out more about the sinking of this famous emigrant ship in our Royal Charter web pages. This online feature, which was created to mark 150th anniversary of the sinking in 2009, includes a number of items from the wreck that are on display in the gallery.

La Paz, Bolivia -- April, 2000. The government declares a state of emergency. Bolivians' disgust over rising water rates, unemployment, coca crop eradication, unemployment, and other economic difficulties plaguing the Andean country of 8 million people results in protests and police mutinies. A series of national strikes and highway blockades is met with 20,000 government troops using both rubber bullets and live rounds. At least 10 are dead, hundreds injured and many jailed.
"Outside our bedroom we could see students and paramilitaries clashing for days and days," recalls Rick Herranen. "A half dozen times we had to leave our apartment to escape the clouds of tear gas." But Herranen, a poet and folk singer from East Tennessee, couldn't escape the sociopolitical realities that unfolded outside his window. "We couldn't help but get caught up in it," he says. "It was the culmination of a series of events that led me to hunker down at the typewriter and hash out ideas that I later framed under the heading of 'Puentes'."
Puentes, or Bridges, is a cross-cultural exchange program designed to open up new spheres of participation, communication and encounters among Las Americas. Herranen believes that artistic reciprocity and intercultural dialogue are the most vital avenues toward a more profound understanding of the social, economic and humanitarian issues that bind us all together.
"Our goal is to encourage a deeper level of artistic encounters and respectful cultural dissemination," says Herranen. "We want to actively address the lack of vital information of any given nation -- be it Bolivia or the United States -- and their live traditions, artistic wealth and cultural heritage."
Puentes operates under the auspices of UNESCO. In between networking trips to Washington, D.C. as a voluntary liaison with UNESCO, Herranen is spending the winter in Colorado Springs.
Herranen and the artists and activists working with Puentes have been described as "the unofficial ambassadors of the insurgent cultures of the Americas." This is an apt description, given that Herranen's definition of insurgency is not confined to a military context, but resides on a cultural and artistic level. It is about knowledge and understanding. "It means expanding one's cultural context," says Herranen. "I see insurgent moments and individuals in the Harlem Renaissance, in Pablo Neruda's poetry, in the lives of Emiliano Zapata and Sojourner Truth."
Of his own life and the complicated path that took him to the land-locked Andean nation of Bolivia, Herranen says, "It all began in the Southern Appalachians."
The poet spent his formative years in an area stretching from Atlanta up through East Tennessee. In what he describes as a series of "lunges and stumbles back and forth across the United States," Herranen traveled, made music and worked a series of odd jobs. One of those jobs was selling Christmas trees every winter in Arizona. "Each year for six years I would come into contact with a wide array of marginalized people from that surrounding community," he says. "One year I met a homeless fellow, a Vietnam veteran. He was a musician as well, and he blessed me, gave me back some of my power just by what he expressed in his simple, poetic way."
His friend died of heat stroke. "He's just one of those people, one of the many that slip through the cracks," says Herranen. "And that had a profound impact on me. He was the person who told me to go to Mexico."
But there were other indicators in Herranen's life, especially his musical and poetic life, that pointed south. In his own examination of his art, he uncovered a genealogy of singers and poets, a distinct trail of artistic cause and effect. The trail began in junior high school with Bruce Springsteen, who led to Woody Guthrie, who opened the door to Walt Whitman, who then provided an introduction to Pablo Neruda. Neruda then offered Herranen all of Latin America.
In 1997, Herranen followed all the signs and found himself in Guanajuato, in the central highlands of Mexico. It was there that he fell in love. "She and I literally crossed paths on the street," he recalls of the day he met his future wife, Valentina Campos. "And it came at a very pivotal moment in my life. I was trying to reckon with my own poetry and music and the years of stumbling across the United States.
"My wife Valentina is a survivor of the dirty war of the 1970s in Bolivia," says Herranen. "And that became an important piece of the puzzle of my life, to fall in love with a woman whose story is so complex, whose story is born out of that whole reality of dictatorships, oppression and exile." When they met, Herranen and Campos had no common language. "That proved to be one of the most liberating experiences," he says of that time without the linguistic tools we take for granted in our daily lives. "Language seemed to topple down around us and reduce things to their essence."
The next year, Herranen and Campos made their way back to Bolivia. "I took my guitar with me and was writing the whole time," he says. "And I was asked to open for a local folk group in La Paz. We were all very open to other influences, vital influences we hadn't been exposed to before. At its core, folk music is a seed bin for political and historical views. A peoples' collective memory lives inside folk music, be it the musical traditions of the Andes or the Appalachians.
"Working with art is a way to open up channels of communication," says Herranen. "You can't talk about art and culture without talking about everything else, like human rights, politics, and women's issues."
Campos, a painter and papermaker, is heading a papermaking project, Tierra Viva, at Lake Titicaca. "It is a vital opportunity to assist at a basic level and bring about socioeconomic empowerment," says Herranen. "The paper is made from a reed used since pre-Incan times and covered in coca leaves -- two facts that carry a cultural punch. There's information and knowledge locked up in these plants.
"In 1999 I had the opportunity to perform at an assembly of indigenous farmers and miners," recalls Herranen. "There was dust in the air; they had rucksacks on their shoulders. Some of the campesinos -- farmers and country folk -- had marched for a week to get there." In addition to singing some of his own songs, he translated two Woody Guthrie tunes into Spanish and subsequently into the Indian language of Aymara. "It was an extremely pivotal moment for me to proclaim my solidarity," says Herranen of the performance. He feels the songs of Woody Guthrie offer Bolivians a North America they could never imagine amidst the onslaught of consumerist pop culture -- a place with vital populist and radical traditions.
One of Herranen's projects under the heading of Puentes is Musica y Poesia desde Los Appalachians hasta Potosi -- Music and Poetry from the Appalachians to Potosi. The silver mines of Potosi, worked by indigenous miners under the colonial control of the Spanish since 1545, helped to fuel capitalism as we know it today. It is currently one of the poorest regions in Bolivia. The similarities in the mining and musical history of the Appalachians and Potosi jumped out at Herranen. In the name of artistic reciprocity and intercultural dialogue, Herranen is planning an exchange of artists from both regions.
"We believe that the construction of bridges of understanding and solidarity will lead to a greater level of peace and prosperity in all Las Americas," says Herranen. "All the way from the Appalachians to Potosi." p

text: Lee Min Ho may play a rather serious role as Choi Young, the warrior on SBS' Faith but pictures of the actors in between cuts shows he's still his usual cheerful self. SBS recently posted a slew of pictures of Lee Min Ho on the set of the currently airing Faith. Though his Choi Young warrior captain role has consistently shown his serious and largely expressionless demeanor, the pictures reveal Lee Min Ho is anything but on the set. Whether with his fellow actors, Kim Hee Sun, Ryu Duk Hwan, Kim Jong Moon or other staff members including director Kim Jong Hak, Lee Min Ho is said to constantly bring energy and strength to his fellow staff and cast. The pictures shows Lee Min Ho posing for pictures with various main and supporting cast members, embracing and aiding staff members and otherwise hard at work discussing his scenes. A source from the drama's production shared, "[Lee Min Ho] is very mature for his age and has at ruthful personality. Though he must face a great deal of pressure as the lead actor, responsible for helping lead the drama, he never shows his fatigue." Director Kim Jong Hak added, "Lee Min Ho is an actor who possesses both great acting ability and a friendly personality," and praised his ability to bring a positive energy to the set. Lee Min Ho downplayed the praises though, as he said, "This is a production we all are working together and everyone is going through the same difficulties and joys as well." He did jokingly add however that he would like to eat a hot bowl of soup and sleep for three days like Choi Young.

The FAMU Women's Basketball team has one goal in mind for 2017-18: Winning the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Championship.
FAMU won its' last MEAC Tournament title in 1999, and their last regular season conference title in 1996, but head coach LeDawn Gibson and her staff are determined to end that long drought this season.
Gibson embarks on her 10th season at the helm of the FAMU Women's Program in 2017-18, and plans on riding the momentum of last season's second half finish which propelled them to the MEAC Tournament semifinals – the program's deepest tourney run in several years – to a championship finish.
Picked by the league's coaches and SIDs to finish sixth in the 2017-18 regular season chase, FAMU hopes to defy the odds as they did a year ago, when their second half surge boosted them past a similar sixth place prediction into a Number Four tournament seed.
Three key losses from last year's 13-18 (9-7 in MEAC) aggregation include Alicia McCray, a 5-11 forward, who average 6.4 rebounds and 5.2 points per game, with 42 assists and 18 blocked shots; guard Cedricka Sweeting, 5-5 guard who scored at a 6.4 point per game clip, with 67 assists and 22 steals, and Victoria Nguyen, who had 45 steals, 55 assists to go with a 3.2 per game scoring average.
Back to lead the Rattler charge up the MEAC mountaintop will be nine letterwinners from last year, headed by Preseason All-MEAC selection, 6-0 senior forward Shakeyrra Morrison, 5-10 junior guard Florence Ouattara, and 5-7 senior guard Ecenur "E" Yurdakul.
Morrison, from Zebulon, N.C., was second in the MEAC in rebounding at 9.7 per game overall, with an 11.1 per game average in conference games. She also averaged 8.1 points per game, with 13 blocked shots and 52 steals.
Ouattara, from the Ivory Coast of Africa, is a high energy backcourt performer, who has a superb all around game. A year ago, she came on strong in the second half as FAMU surged, finishing with an 8.5 scoring average and a 2.6 rebounding norm to go with 53 steals and 43 assists, combined with a .295 three-point shooting percentage.
Yurkdakul, from Istanbul, Turkey, is a rangy performer who can play the point or the two guard spots. A junior college transfer last season, "E" averaged 5.6 points, 2.7 rebounds, shot .296 from distance, and .750 from the foul line, adding 34 assists and 24 steals.
Also returning to the fold for 2017-18 is 6-4 junior center Shalunda "LaLa" Burney-Robinson from Palmdale, Calif., who averaged 6.8 points and 4.6 rebounds overall (8.8 ppg, 5.9 rbs in MEAC play), shooting 53 percent from the floor, with 14 blocked shots; senior guard Dawn King, a 5-9 native of Dallas, Tex., who averaged 5.4 points and 1.3 boards, with 15 steals, 12 assists, while shooting at a .268 clip from three-point range; sophomore forward Dy'Manee Royal, who averaged in 3.1 points, 2.9 rebounds and 10 blocked shots, and 5-9 senior guard Jamella Smith, who chipped in 1.7 points and 1.5 rebounds as a freshman a year ago.
Rounding out the returning nine are a pair of sophomores, 6-3 center Ny'Asia Davis from Starke, Florida (2.6 ppg, 2.8 rbs, 12 blocked shots), and 5-11 guard/forward Taylor Darks from Cincinnati, Ohio.
Newcomers to the FAMU cause in 2017-18 include a pair of transfers, graduate transfer guard/forward Gabrielle Holston from Margaret, Ala., by way of East Carolina, and 5-10 junior guard Ama Arkoful from Jacksonville, Fla., by way of Chipola College.
A trio of true freshmen will make their collegiate premieres with FAMU in November: guards De'Ayra Davis, a 5-7 performer from Omaha, Nebraska, and Zhymani Smith, a 5-7 signee from Hampton, Va., and 6-2 forward/center Mikayla Thomas from Miami, Fla.
FAMU will open the season on November 10 at Eastern Michigan in Ypsilanti, and they will make their home debut on Wednesday, November 22 against Sacred Heart University in the Lawson Center.
The Rattler Women will host two home games in December – Lynn University on December 7, and North Florida on December 10, before opening Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference play in Lawson on Wednesday, January 3 against Howard University.

Over 1,000sqm of convex and concave smooth curved Kalzip aluminium standing seam roof sheets have been installed on the impressive new Pudsey Bus Station by experienced Teamkal contractor, KGM Roofing Ltd. Built by Allenbuild Ltd for Metro, the West Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive, this futuristically designed canopy roof is attractively finished all round with a continuous 'true' curved bull-nosed fascia, also from Kalzip.
Convex taper-curved to a 10 metre radii, the Kalzip sheets form full semicircles on-plan at both ends of the roof - and with Metro keen to have an aesthetically pleasing underside to the bus station's canopy, the soffits were ingeniously created by using a similar combination of downward facing concave curved Kalzip sheets.
The roof canopy is neatly finished with tightly curved aluminium bull-nosed fascias polyester powder coated to RAL 9006 and an 80mm thick layer of Kalzip Insulation 23 glass quilt sandwiched between the Kalzip soffit and top sheets for rain-sound reduction. Produced using a unique manufacturing process, the 'true' curved fascias were designed to be invisibly fixed using a system of bonded butt straps which create a beautifully seamless finish to the roof's eaves.
David Dufton, Metro's Asset Management Co-ordinator says, "The innovative design of Pudsey Bus Station's canopy roof is greatly enhanced by the imaginative use of taper-curved concave Kalzip sheets which form the soffit. Everyone concerned was extremely helpful and proactive throughout the project's development and the company was also able to respond to our challenging requirement for aluminium bull-nosed fascias which are tightly curved on-plan as well as in section."
As well as winning the 'Best Kalzip project under 1,500sqm' and the 'Best use of fabrications' awards at the recent Teamkal Awards ceremony, KGM Roofing has also won the Roofing Awards 2011 'Best Roof Sheeting' category for Pudsey Bus Station.
Funded jointly by Metro and Leeds City Council, the £2.5m Pudsey Bus Station provides the market town with a striking new centrepiece. CCTV-monitored 24 hours a day, this user-friendly facility boasts an enclosed waiting area with comfortable seating, improved lighting overall, real-time information screens and level boarding to buses for the convenience of passengers.

What's it like to see a launch from the Shuttle itself? This video will show you. What's it like to be a separated Solid Rocket Booster (SRB), reentering and tumbling to your recovery point? And what does it SOUND like while all this is going on?
This stunning video, using SRB-mounted cameras and microphones as its only sources, will show you more than you ever knew about this incredible journey.
I was in the California desert for the first-ever landing of a Shuttle returning from space. It was awesome. This high-definition video is - well, in a lot of ways, even more awesome.
Thanks to Steve Saffel for posting this on FaceBook.

What is the Concept Based Nursing program?
The Nursing Education Program is a concept based curriculum which is a stackable credential. To complete the Associate Registered Nurse Degree (ADN) the student must successfully complete the entire 5 semesters. If the student wishes to complete the Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Degree only, the student must successfully complete NUR 114 and NUR 115. Once NUR 114 and NUR 115 are completed the student may sit for the NCLEX PN exam. Should the student wish to complete the ADN, they may continue and complete the last two semesters. Should the student drop out of sequence upon completing the LPN component, the student has 1 year in which to reapply to complete the ADN.
You must apply by one of the deadline dates and be accepted to the program. The date you should submit your application will depend upon when you meet the admission requirements and when you decide it is the right time for you to start the program. The nursing program admits students once a year for RN and Mobility Check out the application dates here: Program Admission Information.
Gadsden State does not teach nursing courses completely online at the present time; although computer testing, some hybrid courses, and web-enhanced courses are a part of the curriculum.
Can I take nursing in the evening?
Yes, at the Cherokee Center location.
What prerequisites are required for nursing?
Each program has a set of minimum of "Admission Requirements." Please follow the link provided for detailed information on each program. Program Admission Information.
If I meet the "Admission Requirements," will I be in the program?
Not necessarily. Admission is competitive; all applicants are rank-ordered according to their test scores and grades. Those applicants with the highest scores will be on the top of the list.
How do I apply to the nursing program?
Please see information provided here: Program Admission Information.
Can I fax in the application or health records?
No, original documents must be received by given deadlines. Faxed or mailed applications are not accepted; all applications are submitted online. You will be given information on handling health records at orientation, if accepted into the program.
Gadsden State does not have a "Waiting List." Students must apply for the program to be included in the rank order for acceptance. The top students are admitted and a number of students are placed on a temporary alternate list in case we have an opening available before the program begins.
I applied a year ago and was on the alternate list. Why haven't I heard anything?
The "alternate list" is temporary, it is used until the beginning of the program following the application deadline. Students must reapply if they are not admitted.
How will I be notified about program acceptance / admission?
You will receive a letter 4-6 weeks after deadline date. The letter is sent to the address on the application. Be sure to keep your records updated.
My grade point average (GPA) is 4.0 but I did not get into the program; a friend was accepted with a 2.5 GPA. Why?
Admission to the nursing program is not based on the applicant's cumulative GPA. The admission is based on a combination of a test score and grades in certain courses.
May I deliver my official transcripts by hand?
Yes. The Admissions office requires hand delivered transcripts be sealed, stamped "OFFICIAL," and delivered to:
Room 140, One Stop Center, 401 Korner Street, Gadsden, Alabama
If the transcripts are opened, or appear tampered with, the Admissions Office will not accept the documents.
Do not bring or send official transcripts to the Nursing Education Department.
I received an email stating my transcripts were not received in the Admissions Office by the deadline. I requested them from my previous school over 2 (or more) weeks ago. Why was my application denied?
The nursing program has deadline dates published well in advance and those dates do not vary. It is the applicant's responsibility to know about the deadline(s) and abide by the requirements. The admission process cannot be delayed because an applicant did not allow enough time for all records to be received. It is recommended that transcript requests be made not less than 30 days prior to the deadline. It is the applicant's responsibility to contact the Admissions Office in advance to ensure that transcripts have been received. Neither Gadsden State, nor the Nursing Program, can be responsible for the speed of the U.S. mail or the speed with which another institution mailed the transcripts.
A variety of clinical agencies are used within a 65-70 mile radius of the Gadsden State Campuses. You may attend different sites during the same semester.
May I choose where I attend clinical?
No. Efforts are made to accommodate students' needs when possible. However, nursing education requires a broad variety of clinical experiences that can only be attained by attending various clinical sites.
Physical and mental requirements for performing the duties of a particular health science program. See: Essential Functions Policy
Must I have the Essential Functions form signed by physician when I apply for admission?
No. Only students who are accepted into the program will complete the form.
When are my health records due to be turned in?
Your health records will need to be turned in AFTER admission to the program. You will receive forms in your acceptance packet and detailed information will be given at orientation, after you have been accepted into the program.
Can I be certified with Professional Rescuer CPR from Red Cross?
No, most clinical contractual agreements require American Heart Association, Health Care Provider level with Basic Life Support (BLS).
May I register for NUR classes before health requirements are met?
No. You can register for the co-requisite academic courses, but not the NUR courses*. Students who are accepted into the program and do not complete the health requirements by the deadline given to them in the acceptance letter will lose their place in the program.
I don't have the money to complete the health requirements. Why does Gadsden State require so many?
The clinical agencies have certain requirements to guarantee the health and safety of their patients. Students are required to meet those stipulations so that they can attend the clinical settings for their education. These requirements will be necessary for anyone in a healthcare field while in school and later during employment. Please keep a copy of your records because Gadsden State does not keep those after you leave the program.
The curriculum indicates I need a humanities elective. What course(s) will count for the humanities elective?
Most courses from Area II of the Alabama General Studies Curriculum (AGSC) can be used to satisfy the humanities elective requirement. Some of the courses taught at Gadsden State that can be used for the elective are as follows:
ART 100: Art Appreciation
MUS 101: Music Appreciation
THR 120: Theater Appreciation
PHL 206: Ethics in Society - (Strongly recommended by our clinical affiliates)
HUM 101: Introduction to Humanities
REL 151: Survey of Old Testament
REL 152: Survey of New Testament.
Please note there are additional courses offered that satisfy this requirement, depending on individual interest and schedule.
If you are transferring from other colleges or universities, you should check with the Nursing Advisor, Pam Mayo (256.549.8257) regarding transfer of your course(s)

As someone who always considered herself more of a tomboy than a girlie-girl, athletic pursuits such as a playing catch with my dad, riding my bike, kicking the soccer ball around and roller skating were my preferred activities growing up. Despite this, like millions of young girls, I also enjoyed playing with Barbie dolls: dressing them up into various clothes, putting on fashion shows, and pretending that she and Ken were going on dates.
With increased knowledge around the "ideal" standard of beauty and its effects on body image and self-esteem over the last several decades, however, the view of Barbie has shifted. Do we really want our young girls idealizing a doll that, if she were real, would not be able to stand up? Do we want them to believe that they themselves should strive to look like Barbie when, in actuality, most women in the world are not blond, blue-eyed, super skinny or have milky-white skin? One might say, "Well, it's just a toy," which is true. Nevertheless, our kids are bombarded with photoshopped images in magazines and kids television shows and movies promoting an unrealistic version of "beauty," and one could argue that Barbie is encouraging the same.
So, I was quite excited when one of our fabulous teachers, Ms. Ingrid Chen, showed me the new set of dolls created by Mattel that aims to incorporate a bit more diversity into the once compact Barbie world. Take a look below!
The new dolls come in petite, curvy and tall. They also offer more variation in skin tone, eye color and hair texture. While I truly appreciate Mattel's efforts, there is still a long way to go in helping our girls feel secure and happy with their bodies and all of the changes that accompany growing up. I also came across another doll, called the Lammily doll, that appears to be the first of its kind to showcase typical body proportions:
I especially enjoyed the video below, which depicted children's reactions to the doll's looks (including her body) and how the Lammily doll compares to the original Barbie.
While it's easy to criticise Barbie, promoting positive body image starts at home and at school. I've compiled a basic list from articles I have found online, but here is the general consensus regarding tips for parents on how to help your child develop a positive body image:
- Discuss the effects of puberty and how our bodies change as we age
- Encourage your child to challenge/criticise media messages and to question what she reads and hears from her favourite movies and TV shows
- Make health and fitness a family priority
- Reflect on your own body issues to ensure your issues aren't becoming your child's
- Advocate for positive, balanced friendships where your daughter feels uplifted and supported
- Place less emphasis on your child's physical appearance and focus on praising her efforts and achievements
Lastly, be a role model! Remember: kids are always watching, learning & adopting our views and behaviours.
Thanks for reading!
