A professional degree is an advanced degree that prepares a person for entry into a specialized career field. Most professional degrees align with careers for which a person needs a license to practice. Medical doctors need a professional degree known as the Doctor of Medicine, for instance.
Other examples of professional degrees include the Doctor of Science of Law, Doctor of Musical Arts, Master of Health Administration, Master of Engineering and Master of Fine Arts. Many professional degrees require one to two years of education beyond an undergraduate degree, although some take three years to complete. Professional degrees often involve more professional application and less theory than a bachelor's degree.

Meet Pribot: The Self-Driving Prius!
What's more hi-tech than the Toyota Prius? The Toyota Prius that drives by itself!
That's right. Less than two weeks ago Toyota's best selling hybrid was spotted along the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge route, sporting a flashy paintjob and a roof-mounted camera. The only thing missing was the driver.
According to Technoride, the so-called "Pribot" is the brainchild of the 28-year-old Anthony Levandowski - a computer guru from San Francisco who automated the car using a "combination of GPS, inertial guidance, and a pair of infrared lasers that scanned its surroundings and compared its location with the previously built 3D map." "The technology for being able to improve your convenience and safety while on the freeway is just around the corner," Levandowski said. "I want to be the one to provide that."
Apart from a small paint scuff, the Pribot's emancipation from human control was a success. The car was also accompanied by a police escort; you know, just in case it decided to have a Terminator moment and become 'self-aware.'

This year, just like last year, I participated in the Liberate Your Art Card Swap organized by Kat Sloma.
The Liberate Your Art postcard swap encourages you to create, share and liberate your art into the world, where it can do its greatest good. I joined participants from around the world as we liberated our art through the mail and brightened the day of those near and far.
I was a bit lazy this year and re-used the card I made in 2015. It carries an image that I made as a daily create assignment for DS106 some time ago. It's a road map of a storyline.
The story that I used for this assignment was a short story I wrote earlier, a kind of Romeo & Juliette story featuring Ampero & Tessa.
I received some wonderful postcards of the 3 weeks that the cards were distributed by Kat. This year's cards and last year's cards are hanging on the side of a cup board in our living room.
If you haven't participated in the Liberate Your Art card swap yet, consider signing up for next year's card swap.
You can read the story of Ampero & Tessa and other short stories written by me here.

Congressman Brian Higgins, NY-26, announced today that he has introduced the Cancer Drug Coverage Parity Act (H.R. 1801), which would require health insurance companies to equally cover and reimburse intravenous/injectable and orally administered anti-cancer medication.
"Doctors, not insurance companies, should decide the best course of treatment for cancer patients," said Higgins, a member of the House Cancer Caucus. "This legislation will better enable patients to have access to the best available treatments that will extend and improve their quality of life."
Under current law, most IV treatments are routinely covered under the medical benefit component of a health insurance plan, while orally administered anti-cancer medications are usually covered under the prescription drug component, which often results in a considerable disparity in coverage. This legislation would remove this disparity, ensuring that medication cost is not a factor in patient decisions. This is especially important as oral chemotherapy is becoming a more common standard of care for cancer patients and many of these oral chemotherapy drugs do not have IV/injectable equivalents.
"On behalf of Roswell Park and its patients, I want to thank Congressman Higgins for advocating for fair, reasonable access to life-saving medications," said Dr. Eunice Wang, a medical oncologist at Roswell Park Cancer Institute. "It is imperative that treatment decisions be based on medical evidence and not dictated by insurance policies. It is critical that our payment policies and systems keep up with the innovations in drug development."
"Thankfully, the New York State Assembly passed a similar state law, effective Jan. 1, 2012, which covers about half of all cancer patients in the state," said Nancy Hails, executive director of The Western & Central NY Chapter Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. "We are hopeful that HR 1801, when passed, will level the playing field, and ensure access to life-saving therapies for all of our patients."
"Every day we hear stories from patients that can't afford the treatment that has been recommended by their physician because of high out-of-pocket costs. This bill will mean that patients no longer have to decide between the best treatment and financial stability, and can focus on what really matters: beating their cancer. PEAC members and their advocates applaud Congressman Higgins for his leadership and will passionately work beside him for the passage of this critical legislation this Congress," said Meghan Buzby, director of U.S. advocacy for the International Myeloma Foundation, and steering committee member of the Patients Equal Access Coalition, a patient-focused coalition of organizations representing patients, health care professionals, care centers, and industry that advocates for patients to have equal access to all anticancer treatments.
"The Cancer Drug Coverage Parity Act is important legislation that would help alleviate the serious financial burden that patients with blood cancer currently face in order to take life-saving therapies," said American Society of Hematology President Dr. Janis L. Abkowitz, of the University of Washington. "The American Society of Hematology commends Rep. Higgins on his efforts with this bipartisan legislation that will help improve patient access to affordable oral therapies for their cancer."
Last week, Higgins spoke on the Floor of the House of Representatives about this legislation.
The text of Higgins' remarks is below:
"Mr. Speaker, America's biomedical research industry is the envy of the world, but the health insurance model isn't keeping pace with the science.
"For cancer patients, this means that smart drugs purchased at a pharmacy and self-administered orally are dramatically more expensive than traditional chemotherapy administered at a hospital or a clinic.
"This makes no sense. That is why I have joined with a broad coalition of the cancer community to re-introduce the Cancer Drug Coverage Parity Act. This bill would require health insurance coverage for smart drugs and injectable treatments at the same rate.
"Ensuring that parity in coverage exists would both increase access to life-saving treatments and improve quality of life for cancer patients.
"Mr. Speaker, a cancer patient should never be denied the most effective cancer treatment because of cost. We make sure that coverage for cancer treatments keep pace with the promising new therapies as they become available."
Higgins introduced this legislation with 16 bipartisan cosponsors and the support of numerous organizations, including: AIM at Melanoma, Alliance of Dedicated Cancer Centers, American Society of Hematology, Aplastic Anemia and MDS International Foundation, Association of American Cancer Institutes, Association of Community Cancer Centers, Astellas Pharma US, Bayer Healthcare, Bioscrip, Celgene, Community Oncology Alliance, Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered (FORCE), Fight Colorectal Cancer, Genentech, Glaxo Smith Kline, Hematology-Oncology Pharmacy Association, International Myeloma Foundation, Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Lymphoma Research Foundation, Millenium: The Takeda Oncology Company, National Brain Tumor Society, National Patient Advocate Foundation, Oncology Nursing Society, Ovarian Cancer National Alliance, Patients Equal Access Coalition, Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Susan G. Komen for the Cure Advocacy Alliance, The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center - James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Institute, Zero - The End of Prostate Cancer.

Won't bow down to wife's demands: Gunjan Utreja
The actor, who is in the midst of a legal battle with his wife Pallavi, says he will not bow down to her demands.tv Updated: Aug 01, 2014 17:20 IST
Things aren't going that great on the personal front for TV actor Gunjan Utreja.
The 28-year-old is currently in the midst of a legal battle with his wife Pallavi, who is reportedly claiming a large amount as maintenance from him.
The actor, who has remained mum on the issue so far, has now opened up for the first time after he was photographed outside the family court in Bandra last week.
"In today's world, you will be behind bars if you tease a woman… no one is foolish enough to beat up his wife. How come no legal action has been taken against me if I had physically abused her (Pallavi) (sic)?" questions Gunjan, while talking about his wife's allegations of being "physically hurt" by him.
Clueless about her motive, but not willing to divulge much, Gunjan adds, "I am a man of integrity, and my friends and family know the truth. That's all that matters to me. I have legal proof against her. Let her prove her accusations, and let the court decide. I have faith in our legal system."
The actor further reveals that Pallavi and her family had apparently approached a few publications [to write their side of the story] two years ago, but since they didn't have proof against him, nobody entertained them.
"Now, just because I've made a small name [for myself], they are trying to defame me and extort a handsome amount of money. In fact, she had threatened to slap a huge maintenance case against me two years ago. But I will not bow down and give up. I will fight for what is right," he says.
Our repeated efforts to reach Pallavi failed.

Dollop of Daisies and Butterfly Cards
HERE for a wonderful variety of other dies that would work equally as well.
In addition I also used a couple of Punch Bunch flower punches and a Sizzix embossing folder.
6 x 6 Magnolia Sweet Rainbow paper pack. Cute papers!!!!
The heart border is the #20 Romantic Lace Border Doohickey die and used the cut out hearts to scatter across the background. I've used my trusty Scor-Buddy to create an embossed check pattern in the background. The label is a Spellbinders die and the word stamp is a Stampin' Up!
Please check with Diana at Magnolia-licious for these wonderful products. Because of their popularity, they are sometimes out of stock. Diana not only gives wonderful service and offers great products, she works very hard at doing the best she can for us.

Bo Bartlett is an American realist known for his complex multi-layered narrative paintings. Working in the tradition of realism that stretches from Thomas Eakins and Winslow Homer to Edward Hopper and Andrew Wyeth, Bartlett's bold narrative approach has made him one of the leading painters of a generation of American artists that redefined realist painting for our time. Bartlett's accessible style and subject matter examine his personal, often epic explorations of family, his roots in the American South, home, water and the sea, beauty, life and death.
Andrew Wyeth once wrote, 'Bo Bartlett is very American. He is fresh, he's gifted, and he's what we need in this country. Bo is one of the very few I feel this strongly about.'
This long-awaited mid-career retrospective is published to help celebrate the opening of the new Bo Bartlett Center in his hometown of Columbus, Georgia. The exquisitely designed volume is the first full publication to document Bartlett's evolution as an artist, his personal creative process and to place his work in the context of the long-standing tradition of American realism.
David Houston is the Executive Director of the Bo Bartlett Center, College of the Arts, Columbus State University. Previously he was the Director of Curatorial, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, and Chief Curator, Ogden Museum of Southern Art.
Carter Ratcliff is an esteemed American art critic, writer and poet. He is the author of numerous books on art including John Singer Sargent, Robert Longo and Andy Warhol: Portraits. He has contributed to numerous magazines including Art in America and Parkett.

WINTER WHITEFriday, December 16, 2011
I have no problem wearing white after Labor Day. But more often than not you'll still have a hard time finding "True White" until the summer. At this time of year you will find more creams & off-whites...I've elected to call these tones: "Winter White". I bought this shirt from Target the other day, and I can't even begin to tell you the amount of compliments I received on this top! See you don't have to spend a lot to look great!
Top: Merona
Cardigan: Express
Belt: New York & Company

I don't normally post links, bookish or otherwise, but this is just too delightful not to share. The Guardian has created a helpful and amusing infographic to assist one in determining if, in fact, one may be engaged in reading a Gothic novel. Their intro:
"When Horace Walpole published his 'gothic story' The Castle of Otranto, he launched a literary movement which has sired monsters, unleashed lightning and put damsels in distress for 250 years. A horde of sub-genres has followed, from southern gothic to gothic SF, but are some novels more gothic than others? We return to the genre's roots in the 18th century for this definitive guide."

Hi all,
I'm looking for some advice and answers on the use of a table saw tenoning jig from some of you who may be familiar with these type of jigs and maybe have used them. I just purchased the General International jig and assembled it out of the box yesterday. A couple of things I've noted about it so-far are listed below… If anyone is interested in offering a bit of advice, I'd appreciate it. I have not used it, yet… still making sure I understand and can use it safely. Its not intended that this be a review of the jig, (cause I haven't used it yet) but merely observations as I set it up and make discoveries and come up with questions.
I own the General International table saw, too (50-220R).
The Jig:
Can this jig be used with a dado blade? or is it designed to make multiple cuts in the material with a standard blade? I.e. adjusting the jig for each cut and flipping the work piece over for each cut until the size of the tenon is obtained?
I have not used the jig to cut with, yet. But I noticed that if I apply downward pressure to the saw-blade-side of the jig, the guide bar tends to pull out of the guide slot. Is there a fix for this?
The instructions do not give clear direction as to how this jig mounts (left or right of the saw blade). I read on the internet that it can be used in either position. I also tried using it (dry-run setup) in both positions. In the left-of-blade position the vertical support does not get close enough to the blade (its probably a good 2 inches from the blade) – So it appears that I may need to add a block of wood to the vertical support to get my workpiece to the blade when the jig is in this left-hand position. In the right-of-blade position. The lefty-loosy/righty-tighty workings of the clamp are reversed. Is this correct or am I missing a part or using this tool incorrectly?
Looking forward to your input.

Every year my wife and I argue about how much Halloween candy to buy. Our neighborhood feels like Halloween central. We literally get hundreds of kids! When she buys the candy, I claim she didn't get enough. When I buy the candy she yells that I bought too much. She was right as usual!
So I'm looking at all this extra candy and thinking "what am I going to do? How about make a cheesecake"? So, trying not to go into a sugar coma, I proceeded into putting together this awesome, sweet dessert.
The crust was made from Kit Kat bars. The cheese filling mixed with ground Whoppers. I also inserted mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and MilkyWay Bars. The topping is a ganache made from Hershey Bars. This dessert is too good to keep to myself, so below please help yourself to my recipe.
LHC (Leftover Halloween Candy) Cheesecake
Pre-heat oven to 325°
About 2 cups of crushed Kit Kat bars (enough to fill the bottom of a 9" springform pan
1/3 cup melted butter
Mix the crushed Kit Kat's with the butter and press into bottom of pan.
4 8oz packages of softened cream cheese
1 ½ cups of crushed to a powder Whooper's malted milk balls
4 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract

Over the spring of 2004, OI America board member and CNN reporter Mariana Sanchez wrote to her friends who happen to be world-class photographers:
"Dear Friends, I am writing to you to ask you for your help in promoting aid for the orphans of Haiti. You all well know the terrible conditions of life there, especially for the children. The organization, Orphans International, has a small house outside Jacmel where help is being given to children. They give help to orphans around the world. I am now trying to divert more attention to Haiti, and of course what they need – desperately – is funding. And for this, they need to promote the foundation. I have personally met the founder, Jim, a very kind-hearted man who is putting his own money into this... everyone, of course, is a volunteer. If you are in the position of donating a photograph you can reach me at home. Many, many, many thanks, Mariana."
Prize-winning photographers that contributed to the exhibition, "Eye on Haiti", included Gary Fabiano, Tim Fadek, Michael Kamber and Les Stone. Les' photograph also graced our program cover. This exhibition can still be viewed on our website.

This installer does not require you to have previously installed Empires.
You get a freegame now?
thts pretty sweet
the SDK comes free with almost any Source game is what they are saying.
The best source mod out there, but please fix the collisions!
Finally! Remember, if you don't have a source game, just download Alien Swarm for free and you can play Empires.
I'm not sure if that works at all. Technically it is not supposed to happen. I'll check if it somehow can be done.
You should add walkers :D. With machine guns and rocket launchers!
Do you still need to download the servers??????
I wish I could post a comment..but I am too lazy :(
I'm so amazingly confused it's starting to **** me off... I cannot play this game because apparently my engine is missing something but it doesn't MAKE SENSE cause everything else works! OnGameRulesCreationStringChanged: missing gamerules class "CEmpGameRules" on the client.
Try reinstalling HL2. It might fix it.
This mod looks really cool.
Would i be better off downloading the .exe from Moddb or downloading via Steam?
EDIT: Sorry, Should have read into it more; Steam version released more recently that .exe. I'll download from Steam.
Im sorry if this appears to be a stupid question, but does this mod require Half-Life 2? Or can Counter-Strike Source/Day of Defeat Source be used to run it.
Any source engine game i think so yea counter strike
Hello, I love this game.
I'm not sure about you, but I really wanted to play this game.
I tried to download it on Steam,
but all I got was a mostly intact game with only a few files that broke down,
and broke the game.
You see, the background image and start up video files wouldn't load properly,
so all I got was a error every time I started. When I replaced the pictures with other things from gamebanana but renamed them to fix the issue, I could tell I got to the main menu because I got a black screen with music... after awhile of tinkering I gave up.
I have slow internet and didn't feel like re-downloading a game that takes 2 1/2 hours
to download,
I'd rather just play the safe version that isn't broken,
I wish I got a nice cool game but all I got was a broken one.
I have high expectations as the archived version is downloading now.
Although disappointed not to get the final product,
I really want to try out this interesting game.
So overall... 7.5/10
I probably would've just gave the game a... 8.5/10 if it wasn't broken, because you know,
it's not the best game in the world, but there was effort put into it,
but since the updated version is broken,
that just ruined my experience, and my time.
I thought of just giving a 7/10, but I thought of being nice because
I haven't played the game yet, so it could be good or bad,
but from what I've seen, the game looks fun.
I look forward to playing this version by about...5 o'clock.

True Grits: Navigating The Current Cut
By Al JacobsThe Current Cut is a deepwater, narrow divide through the north end of Eleuthera. (Photo: Michael E. Harris)
Well, This is a story about eating. And boating. And I'm going to start with the boating part, because every boater worth his or her salt knows that a good day on the water only becomes a great day when it's finished off with a delicious meal. Am I right? Here goes my tale.
Current is the name of the Bahamian settlement, and Current Cut is the turbulent channel in front of it — its famous namesake, actually — where the tide ebbs and floods like a freight train in and out of the Bight of Eleuthera. This can be a treacherous place for those who arrive or leave by boat. At the height of the flow, the current can rush as fast as 10 knots in a channel barely 100 yards wide. As you pass through, there's no room for error as the water churns. Talk about a tough place for keelboats. But not for us. We're on Grace, a 34-foot Gemini catamaran with a shallow draft, and she'd float in a heavy dew if we asked her to.
I admit it: hearing from locals about scary Current Cut had made me extra nervous. But I didn't say much about that to Teresa, my wife, because she'd heard the same news. Besides, she was our helmsman and navigator, while I handled the sails, anchor, and everything mechanical. If she piled it up on the rocks, I liked to remind her, it would be her fault. This drew the usual rolling of eyes from her, who takes a lot of guff from me. But she sends it back with the best of them. We both knew Current Cut was the only decent way to get out of the extensive shallows in the northern Bight of Eleuthera without going back almost 100 miles. It was time to reach down and grab some guts.
We planned out all the contingencies, studied the chart, tides, and depths, and talked it through a million ways from Sunday before deciding to go ahead. The only thing that lightened the mood a bit was our conversation about how we'd reward ourselves when the darned thing was behind us. Because our personal navy travels on its stomach, all of our reward ideas tend to food fantasies. Whether it would be filet of a lunker lionfish or whatever catch that passing Bahamian fishermen felt like selling, the occupants of Grace, like salty sailors everywhere, always kept a weather eye out for the next opportunity to eat something good.
Grace at anchor before transiting the narrow cut. Current Cut has a 6-knot current
at max flow. Passage requires a sharp turn to port in order to stay in deeper water
and avoid shallow sandbars to the west, and rocks to the east.
The next afternoon, all systems were go as we drew near to the Cut. The southern approach was littered with sandbars straight in, but the recommended channel that approaches from the side was navigable and marked with — I took a second look, and then a third look. Yes, Lord above, those were local PVC pipes I was seeing. Following the PVC guides past exposed bars and rocky outcrops, we picked our way through the unlikely channel, eyeing the torrent of turbulent water ahead. There was no going back on this one. We took a deep breath, stuck Grace's prow into the flood, red-lined the throttle — as red-lined as a Gemini can do, anyway — and got lined up. The tidal race roller-coastered us up and down, Teresa kept Grace in the slot, and in a whoosh of speed we were spit out like an olive pit into Dickson Bay, south of Spanish Wells. What a totally huge adrenaline rush, culminating in the moment at the other end of Current Cut when Teresa and I whooped and screamed in happiness. It was during this natural high that I had a heavenly vision.
"Hey, how about some langouste?" I called to Teresa.
"With grits! And a cold beer!" called my Georgia wife. I smiled. That woman knows me. Already, our minds had made that almost instantaneous transition that all experienced boaters know so well, when we go from white-knuckle fear to thinking about — yup, what's for dinner!
Really, Isn't It All About Food?
An hour later, Grace was anchored, and I'd zoomed ashore to the settlement of Current, found a fisherman with local lobster, and had two medium-sized langouste tails shucked out of their coverings. You're probably imagining a big chunk of succulent lobster meat dripping with butter that you'll scarf down in three minutes flat, right? Well, this Southern boy tries to do even mundane jobs with style, and now that the Lord had delivered us through Current Cut and cleansed our iniquitous souls, we were going to have langouste — with grits!
Cheesy shrimp and grits save the day.
I fired up Grace's two-burner stove and started cooking with the pure happiness that comes at the end of another great hair-raising day on the water. Humming a tune, I melted a stick of butter, sautéed as much chopped garlic as we could stand — a lot! — then added a beer, a few dashes of Tabasco, and some Lea & Perrins. In a separate pot I cooked the coarse grits in seasoned stock for 30 minutes while Teresa swooned over the galley aromas. The grits are done when they look like mashed potatoes and can't run out of the stirring spoon. Near serving time, I added to the reduced sauce the bite-sized pieces of lobster I'd chunked up, careful not to overcook the meat, then spooned the mixture over a tasty bowl of grits. I added chopped green onions for color, sprinkled it with a good, sharp grated cheese, and let it melt. That's it. We use fish if we don't have lobster or shrimp for another poor man's Low Country staple: fish and cheese grits. I like to play around with the ingredients for variety.
Grace tugged on her big hook buried in sand. We were in a lee around the corner from Current Cut, while overhead in the pink-tinted evening sky, mares' tails and mackerel skies forecast heavy weather within the next 24 hours. But for that moment, there was time to savor the small victory over the adversity that can be the constant companion of the boater. As Teresa and I relaxed and enjoyed a glass of good Nicaraguan rum, I couldn't help but remember back to those early days of my life when I worked on a shrimp boat, a time when life was also lived day by day and nothing was a given. The linkage was grits, certainly, but more than that, it was the triggered memories of friends gone by and the feeling of great adventure. Our food is our heritage, providing touch points with family and friends, past and present.
Good Food, Common Ground
These days, Teresa and I are back home in Georgia, and a big photo book, sitting on the coffee table in our living room, is filled with great memories of our time aboard Grace. Whenever I flip through the album, I'm struck by how many pictures show us beaming in the cockpit toasting a sunset or in some spectacular out-of-the-way hole in the wall savoring the local fare. Boating is a solitary business, but often the most enduring memories we take from our days on the water are of good friends — and connecting with them over food. So at the end of the day, while swinging on the hook somewhere that only your boat could have taken you, gaze out at that pink sky, rub your tummy, and think about how lucky you are.

The Reward? Grits On Grace!
One of the popular menu items you're starting to see in East Coast restaurants these days is shrimp and grits. This Georgia poor boy always enjoys seeing just what Yankee chefs have done to a humble dish that started as basic fare on Low country shrimp boats. A bag of grits was about the cheapest food that could be bought, and there were always a few shrimp. Lots of beer and a bottle of Tabasco rounded out the larder. In the old days, even if we couldn't find enough shrimp for the crew to feed their families or for me to pay my college tuition, at least none of us would starve. On board Grace, grits is a staple of our fare. It's compact, lightweight, and easy to fix. We pack plenty, divide it up, store it in vacuum-packed plastic bags to make sure it stays dry, and mix it with whatever we buy or catch along the way.
An Hawaiian friend once responded to my offer of grits with a counteroffer of poi. This country boy doesn't eat anything purple, but my friend made her point that grits is a foreign food to most people because they've only experienced the white, treacle-like soup that someone topped with maple syrup, then dared to call grits. Good grits are yellow, extra-coarse, and fixed with those staples of Southern cooking, salt and butter. They're meant to be used as a cooking base and mixed with whatever you have — scrambled eggs, crumbled sausage, cheese, spinach, fish. And if you didn't know that grits are the coarse grains sieved from cornmeal, you do now. An entire industry has grown up in the South selling grit gloves for picking grits from grit bushes to folks from somewhere else who don't know any better. Get your grits from a health-food store or an online vendor that grinds grits and meal from local ingredients, and make sure it's coarse and the best you can find.

Malaria is caused by the protozoan parasite Plasmodium. Human malaria is caused by four different species of Plasmodium: P. falciparum, P. malariae, P. ovale and P. vivax.
Humans occasionally become infected with Plasmodium species that normally infect animals, such as P. knowlesi. As yet, there are no reports of human-mosquitohuman transmission of such "zoonotic" forms of malaria.
Nature of the disease
Malaria is an acute febrile illness with an incubation period of 7 days or longer. Thus, a febrile illness developing less than 1 week after the first possible exposure is not malaria.
The most severe form is caused by P. falciparum; variable clinical features include fever, chills, headache, muscular aching and weakness, vomiting, cough, diarrhoea and abdominal pain. Other symptoms related to organ failure may supervene, such as acute renal failure, pulmonary oedema, generalized convulsions, circulatory collapse, followed by coma and death.The initial symptoms, which may be mild, may not be easy to recognize as being due to malaria.
It is important that the possibility of falciparum malaria is considered in all cases of unexplained fever starting at any time between 7 days after the first possible exposure to malaria and 3 months (or, rarely, later) after the last possible exposure. Any individual who experiences a fever in this interval should immediately seek diagnosis and effective treatment, and inform medical personnel of the possible exposure to malaria infection. Falciparum malaria may be fatal if treatment is delayed beyond 24 h after the onset of clinical symptoms.
Young children, pregnant women, people who are immunosuppressed and elderly travellers are particularly at risk of severe disease. Malaria, particularly P. falciparum, in non-immune pregnant travellers increases the risk of maternal death, miscarriage, stillbirth and neonatal death.
The forms of human malaria caused by other Plasmodium species cause significant morbidity but are rarely life-threatening. Cases of severe P. vivax malaria have recently been reported among populations living in (sub)tropical countries or areas at risk. P. vivax and P. ovale can remain dormant in the liver. Relapses caused by these persistent liver forms ("hypnozoites") may appear months, and rarely several years, after exposure. Relapses are not prevented by current chemoprophylactic regimens, with the exception of primaquine. Latent blood infection with P. malariae may be present for many years, but it is very rarely life-threatening.
In recent years, sporadic cases of travellers' malaria due to P. knowlesi have been reported. Humans can be infected with this "monkey malaria" parasite while staying in rainforests and/or their fringe areas in south-east Asia, within the range of the natural monkey hosts and mosquito vector of this infection. These areas include parts of Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Viet Nam. The parasite has a life-cycle of 24 h and can give rise to daily fever spikes occurring 9–12 days after infection. Symptoms may be atypical. Severe P. knowlesi malaria with organ failure may occur, and sporadic fatal outcomes have been described. P. knowlesi has no persistent liver forms and relapses do not occur. Travellers to forested areas of south-east Asia where human P. knowlesi infections have been reported should protect themselves against mosquito bites between dusk and dawn to prevent infection and take the usual chemoprophylaxis where indicated (see Country list).
Geographical distribution
The current distribution of malaria in the world is shown on the map in this chapter; affected countries and territories are listed both at the end of this chapter and in the Country list. The risk for travellers of contracting malaria is highly variable from country to country and even between areas in a country, and this must be considered in any discussion of appropriate preventive measures.
In many countries or area at risk, the main urban areas – but not necessarily the outskirts of towns – are free of malaria transmission. However, malaria can occur in the main urban areas of Africa and, to a lesser extent, India. There is usually less risk at altitudes above 1500 m, although in favourable climatic conditions the disease can occur at altitudes up to almost 3000 m. The risk of infection may also vary according to the season, being highest at the end of the rainy season or soon after.
There is no risk of malaria in many tourist destinations in south-east Asia, the Caribbean and Latin America.
Risk for travellers
During the transmission season in countries or areas at risk, all non-immune travellers exposed to mosquito bites, especially between dusk and dawn, are at risk of malaria. This includes previously semi-immune travellers who have lost or partially lost their immunity during stays of 6 months or more in countries or areas of no risk. Children who have migrated to countries and areas of no risk are particularly at risk when they travel to malarious areas to visit friends and relatives.
Most cases of falciparum malaria in travellers occur because of poor adherence to, or complete failure to use medicines, or use of inappropriate prophylactic malaria drug regimens, combined with failure to take adequate precautions against mosquito bites. Studies on travellers' behaviour have shown that adherence to treatment can be improved if travellers are informed of the risk of infection and believe in the benefit of prevention strategies. Late-onset vivax and ovale malaria may occur despite effective prophylaxis, as they cannot be prevented with currently recommended prophylactic regimens which act only against blood-stage parasites.
Malaria risk is not evenly distributed where the disease is prevalent. Travellers to countries where the degree of malaria transmission varies in different areas should seek advice on the risk in the particular zones that they will be visiting. If specific information is not available before travelling, it is recommended that precautions appropriate for the highest reported risk for the area or country should be taken; these precautions can be adjusted when more information becomes available on arrival. This applies particularly to individuals backpacking to remote places and visiting areas where diagnostic facilities and medical care are not readily available. Travellers staying overnight in rural areas may be at highest risk.
The malaria parasite is transmitted by female Anopheles mosquitoes, which bite mainly between dusk and dawn.
Malaria is transmitted to people through the bites of infected mosquitoes by plasmodium parasite which is spread by Anopheles mosquitoes. They most commonly bite between dusk and dawn. Malaria can also be transmitted from mother to child during pregnancy.
Symptoms usually appear about 12 to 14 days after infection. People with malaria have the following symptoms:
- Abdominal pain
· Headache
· High fever
· low blood pressure causing dizziness if moving from a lying or sitting position to a standing position (also called orthostatic hypotension)
· muscle aches
· poor appetite
It can keep on continuing to
§ Deep breathing and respiratory distress
§ Abnormal bleeding, such as anemia
§ Clinical jaundice and organ dysfunction.
Treatment usually lasts for 3 to 7 days, depending on the medication type. To get rid of the parasite, it's important to take the medication for the full length of time prescribed by doctor.
Transmission depends on climatic conditions like
- Rainfall – water logging give a push to mosquito breeding as mosquito eggs must be laid in water and mosquito larva mature in water.
- Humidity - increases the lifespan of mosquitoes, giving them more opportunities to carry malaria infections from one person to another.
- Temperature that may affect the number and survival of mosquitoes. It has been seen that places at high altitudes or cooler regions, mosquitoes are less and hence, malaria cases are rare.
- Deforestation can favour mosquito breeding combined with poor access to effective health care.
Precautions Is Better Than Cure!
Travellers and their advisers should note the four principles – the ABCD – of malaria protection:
- Be Aware of the risk, the incubation period, the possibility of delayed onset, and the main symptoms.
- Avoid being Bitten by mosquitoes, especially between dusk and dawn.
- Take antimalarial drugs (Chemoprophylaxis) when appropriate, to prevent infection from developing into clinical disease.
- Immediately seek Diagnosis and treatment if a fever develops 1 week or more after entering an area where there is a malaria risk and up to 3 months (or, rarely, later) after departure from a risk area.
Although malaria is preventable and curable; in the beginning, symptoms may be mild and difficult to recognize as malaria. If not treated within 24 hours, malaria can progress to severe illness often leading to death.
Although there are no vaccines at the moment for Malaria but we can prevent it by using
- Mosquito nets so as to prevent ourselves from the mosquito bites.

Like in any race, the dream is always to win. However, for me, i founded that completing a race is just as glorious as winning it. What matters most is you complete it. Recently, my riding buddies and i had participated in Malakoff Inter-state Fellowship Ride 2010 in Penang. This is my first experience paddling in such race. Over 2000 cyclists from around Malaysia were rushed the 238 km race covering the three states of Penang, Perak and Kedah. The two-day Ride spans over 31 December 2010 and 1 January 2011, covering challenging terrains of 171 km and 67 km, respectively.
The Ride is organised by The Penang State Government, Penang Sports Council, Knight of the Round Table (KOTRT) and Malakoff Corporation Berhad (Malakoff). Through this Ride, Malakoff aims to combine sports and healthy living with community outreach. While the participants paddle into the dawn of 2011 traversing the scenic 13-km Penang Bridge with a reinforced commitment to healthy lifestyles, they also aim to raise fund for charity organisations that was announced during the event launch.
First day race, as i waited for the flag off at Youth Park in George Town Penang, i never thought the climbs race will be as daunting as it sounded by my buddy. This 67km hilly route was really inciting me, the hills felt long and endless. More than anything else, the race was a more of a mental test with a torture machine. The climbs aim to Balik Pulau was mentally crestfallen especially when i had just completed one and see another one coming. But everything was pay back when i was seized the hill and stand on the Water Station 1, at Jalan Permatang Pasir. Water and bananas was provided here. My riding buddies and i got some refreshment there. "The pleasing of refreshment after the climbing is nearly as pleasant as making a love" my buddy said. What a felling, oh my god, so i have to get married right after this race! Ha ha ha.
Race continues with extremely downhill. It was mentally exhilarating when you ride through the 30 degree nosedive in open bent. It's hard to describe the feeling. Sometimes i feel not comfortable with the sleek tyres with chasm by my side. It was as impressive as the speed nearly 70 km per hour as i remembered. "From Balik Pulau with love" there was a memorable place for my riding buddy as he was schooling there.
After that we are heading to the second hill aim to Air Terjun Titi Kerawang. Climbs start again, but this one the road was little bit small than BP's and sheeting lichen some parts on it. It was also 100 percents shadow. As we were climbing, there were numerous calls of riders riding into each other especially at broken roads, sharp and slow corners. This is a road sense that i have learnt from other cyclist. We climb slowly and steady while realized how beautiful the scenic was. Finally we reach the top and take a rest, and captured some picture on the other hand.
Of course after the climb is always ride down. Ones again i was facing an extremely downhill, but this time the bent was so close and it was done with 50 km per hour average speed i think. Around 10 am we arrived at Water Station 2 at Teluk Bahang Dam and we get some refreshment with 100 plus and bananas there. We continue the joyful ride aim to Tanjung Tokong, Batu Feringghi, and non-stop to Youth Park. No more climbs in this cycleway. As i crossed the finishing line, i was ecstatic. The feeling of accomplishment after all the hard work is nearly as sweet as winning the race. This 67km route was leaving me beaming with pride and bragging rights after completing it. After that, the entire cyclists were queue up at designated counter and show their ride number to sign out. Participant jersey and goodies had been given as we sign out. Lunch was served at Youth Park and there was launching opening ceremony.
Overall the ride was fun. The routes were scenic. However, the organizers could have done a better job by providing the riders proper information such as confirming the actual distance and routes of the race. The usual safety precautions were taken. An ambulance was at hand and sweepers in truck were on standby to sweep up all of the cyclist who were not going to make the cut off time. If you are planning to go to Penang for ride, there's a seaside you might want to check out. There's also a waterfall on the way up to Titi Kerawang and other scenic spots for photography along the way.

Living life to the fullest
I was reminded today of how fast your life could be over. Two friends of my husband were killed today in a car accident on the way to work this morning. Just like that they were gone. You never know when your time is up on this earth. It has made me do some thinking about my life. I have fallen off the wagon the past couple of weeks. And I feel awful because of it. I am mad at myself. Because every day that I don't take care of this diabetes, is another day off of my life. I shouldn't do things that will shorten my life but do things to make my life last longer. So I am making a confession, I have not been taking care of myself. Now for the hard part, I am starting all over in the morning, counting carbs,calories and eating right, exercise too. I am telling you guys this so I will be determined to show you all that I can do this and show myself as well. I also need support for this as well. I have gained this year 20.6 lbs.

Petals, Listen to me ok? Having something like that happen is traumatic. It hits close to home. You dont need to beat yourself up over it time and again. You have recognized what is what, what you need to do and thus implementing a plan to get it back on track. Tis not easy. You dont have to account for anything right now. Reaason is that you will have your days, moments or situations where out of the blue WHAM it hits you all over again and you are set back. Its not permament nor misunderstandable. Take your time, regroup and refocus when you have too. I know you can do this for that is what I am doing right now. Hugs
OF COURSE DeAnna! I will support your efforts as fully as I am able from this distance. One thing that has an unlimited range and power is prayer! I will of course add you to my prayer list that your efforts meet with success.
I hasten to add that perhaps you might wish to start with "baby steps" again and not get too overwhelmed with everything all at once.
I am just starting again with my management scheme for my diabetes after my blow out for my 60th birthday yesterday. I to a buffet went with a friend last night and didn't pay much attention to my eating plan. Now it is over and I get back to managing my BGs levels better.
If you would like to know how I lost about 65 lbs over last year and got off all diabetes meds, just ask and I'd be happy to send it along to you. It may or may not help you in your quest for a better life.
I would like to know it seems when I stick to my insulin doses I gain weight.
I did too!
One reason you might be gaining weight on insulin is because your body is finally putting the glucose into your cells where it belongs. The thing is, we need to exercise off that new found glucose. If we don't, it does what it is supposed to do, turns into fat and saves it for a rainy day.
No question about it we all need to live life to the fullest. There is no sense in worrying about the past and beating yourself up is counter productive. You should simply own your mistakes, examine them and learn from them. I have been able to turn my life around because I was taught to look at myself as if I was looking at someone else and in a nonjudgmental way. Love yourself and you can live a useful life. It is sad to hear about your husbands friends. I lost a dear friend a few months ago he came to me and told me that he was letting himself down and he was really down on himself, I tried to convince him to be kind to himself he passed the next day from a heart condition.
I am sorry to hear about your friend. Well said, you have to learn from your mistakes and learn to forgive yourself as well.
i don't know you,, but you seem like a very nice person,, sorry to hear about your friends, looks like were both cat lovers ,, take care
Phew.my guilt was hounding me as I fell off the wagon.Thanks for your post and g'luck to ya!
I am so sorry to hear about your friends, That kind of thing always serves to make everyone who hears it feel a little introspective. The best thing that can come of this tragedy is that you wake up and start doing what you need to do to make things better in your life. I don't think I speak only for mydelf when I say that we will all be available to help in any way we can, to give support and maybe a hand slap if necessary, it is all a part of the process, please accept my condolances and keep up the good work. You can rely on all of us for hugs and help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We need to remind ourselves to live each day to the fullest. Enjoy the simple things in life. Sometimes it's hard to get a handle on our problems, but with God's help we can do anything. We all struggle with day to day living. Some times it's easy and thenthere are the days everything goes wrong. Don't give up, everyday is a new day and you can do it.
I have been fighting being over weight for ten years, close to 300 pounds and I want it to be closer to 200 pounds and my body wants to be 400 pounds. So gather your strength and make another run. You lose when you throw in the towel and give up!
sorry to hear you have gotten off track on your diet, exercise.it's good to let people hear you say this. cause if they think about trying this maybe they will think twice before doing it. and realize it's not a good thing to do. i would feel aweful if i did would do what you done.sharing this makes people wake up and realize what happens when you fall off the wagen.hope you can get back on thw wagen and get back on track. we are all here to help and support each other.
You have my support for sure. Good for you. Starting tomorrow it's one day at a time. It does feel soooo wonderful to put yourself first and take care of yourself.
You are right. We can do something about this disease-our responsiblilty to do what we can. (Too bad we are talking about controlling my obsession to lots of food and no exercise LOL)
Life is so precious and one thing we can not buy back is time. We have to make each day count to stay as postive and healthy as we can.
It doesn't have to be somthing violent like an accident to cut a life short. I watched my bride fade off to sleep talking to one of her friends. I decided to let her sleep where she was and in the morning I couldn't wake her.
Please express my sorrow at your husband's loss
It is good that you're getting back on track re taking care of yourself. (((((Hugs))))) to you!
You and your husband have my deepest sympathies on your losses, be strong get back on your diabetic regimin and as a matter of fact the same has happened to me in the past few weeks so you and I can start over together. I've been in funk over my teenage daughter and those horrible teenage problems that we all have probably gone through in our life time and I too have been eating the wrong stuff and am paying the price for what I've eaten so I'll stay in touch with you to see how your doing and you do the same, any time.
GOD Bless,
hey petals, you and your hubby have my heartfelt symphathies, but you have to just get back on the wagon with the rest of us, i know it is hard but it gets easier, i am praying for your family and his co-workers, have blessed day take care
Hey petals — as has been said, it is never easy to lose someone close to us. I've lost several family and friends in the past (a couple mentioned in my profile if you care to look). I truly know where you are right now and also know how difficult it can be in those first days to take care of myself. Having a support group to talk to about things and telling on myself is one of the best tools I have found to keep me going - no matter what the difficulty at present - and it also helps keep me accountable, especially to myself, for all my actions or lack of action. I've found that the 1st step to any change is recognition of the need to make a change. Once I've done that it is up to me to do the work necessary to change. Congrats in making that recognition and in implementing a course of action to do better at taking care of you.
Hugs to you & prayers for you and hubby at this time
Dear Petals;
((((H)))), here are a couple dozen hugs I'm not using right now. Take a few deep breaths, anbutd tell yourself that you want to do better.
I know you are down right now, but you will do better. Try not to loose all 20.6 lbs at once. That leads to depression and dissapointment. You can't loose all of that without putting your health at a bigger risk. I'm pretty sure that one of us will help you focus on your goals.
Ok no more nagging. For some reason I have been channeling my mother tonight. Time to call home.
I am so very sorry for your husbands loss. My prayers go out for both you and your husband. It never seems fair to loose friends or family.
Take care of yourself. There are too many people who love and care about you.
Guardian stone
Happy day,
Blessing & peace to you & your husband concerning his 2 friends. I thank God for you taking control of your diabetes & not letting it take control of you anymore. I will be waiting to hear your praise reports concerning your journey. Be blessed & know that you are favored in the name of Jesus.
Working 4 Jesus, & Loving it.
Mama Dee
I am very sorry for your loss. The unexpected death of loved ones is one of the hardest things I have ever had to deal with. It is good that you are using that pain to reflect on how you can improve the quality of your life. We all have our moments of weakness, sometimes they last a day, sometimes a few months, but we all go through it. I know you are strong enough to do what is right for you because it takes a lot of inner strength to admit all the things you haven't been doing right for yourself in a public forum like this. Know that we are all here to support you and cheer you on.
I can relate, Petals. I've had good days (weeks, months) and I've had bad. It's not because we are diabetics… it's because we are human. There is absolutely no sense beating yourself up over the past. At my age, I think I have seen it all, heard it all and done it all. I just can't remember it all. The important thing is to make TODAY your January 1st. Today is a new day and can be a new YOU with a new attitude. It's not easy but if you get (back) into a routine it get easier. Start small, think big. Good habits can replace bad ones. Your confession is accepted, acknowledged, and serves to be a contract with yourself to live your life to the fullest. You can't work on the outside until you've started the work on the inside… and you've taken that important step. You know we are here for you… cheering you on in your victories, cheering you up in your slumps.
I too am getting back on the wagon. I have been letting everything go for months, and I have not felt worse in my life. I am finally starting to check my sugars and taking my meds again. What is it that makes us start to give up. We know it will make us feel worse, but yet for some reason we still do it. I guess I never realised how much of a glutten for punishment I was before i was diagnosed…
Good Luck! Keep your head up and D supplies at hand…LOL
Blessed Be
Vicki, I am glad that you are back on the wagon. I never quit taking my meds. I wasn;t taking my bs like I should though. I really feel awful. Hopefully we will remember how bad we feel right now when we are tempted to not take care of ourselves again!! Good luck to you as well!
I am sorry about this terrible loss. Probably the best way to take care of your diabetes is to get into a routine and do it without thinking about it too much. After doing the same thing for 2 or 3 weeks, it will become a habit and you will do it without even thinking. You will be in a kind of automatic pilot. Like driving a car.
why is it that doing the right thing is so hard and the wrong so easy. Nobody is perfect and to be a perfect patiient is extremely hard. i am glad to hear that you are back fighting the fight. I am sorry to hear about your loss. Keep your faith and know that you can do it. God bless
I definetly agree with you. When I look at my boys it just makes me want to strive to keep healthly. However, when I do cheat I just feel so guilty and feel like I have failed them.
Hi Petals, I think sometimes most of us do fall the wagon dont beat your selfup over this you have got back on the wagon and things will be better. You can does this be strong
Well Petals,
I will have to say, be strong and beleave on the Lord he will help you in the right way to go but by all means don't give up there are people that do care and Love you, and not only that we are all her to help you if you need to talk okay lol.
God Bless & take care
Hugs Anna
i believe you can do it!!!!! You are the most important person to you and you certainly deserve every sporting chance you can give yourself to live life to the fullest. We are here to cheer you on your commitment to yourself.
Live fast die yung I lived it a long time and made it now I got D
wow didnt even think I would live this long but now that I am here I am going to live like it is the last day.
You never know when your going to go if I go I am going with a smile on my face for the life I live today is the best Life I have ever had.
I will not give it up ez.
Best wishes
Trust me, I know all about that wagon. I spent more than 20 years ignoring it and paid the price big time. It took me a long time to catch up to it and hopefully I'm now firmly settled on it even though I teeter on the edge at times. Don't blame yourself. It's difficult to pass up all the yummy stuff all the time. And once you taste the 'forbidden fruit', it's very difficult to give it up. Hang in there, one mistake or one series of mistakes isn't the end of the world. You pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and get back with it. When Betty gets done hugging you, I'll add mine {{{{{{ TightHug }}}}}}}}}}
Hey there darlin! I have lots of hugs for you. (((((((((((((Dee)))))))))))))))
Life is short, it's tragic we have to be reminded sometimes at how precious it is with the loss of people we love. I also know you hit a rough patch that couldn't have helped. I sure wish I lived closer, we could have fun doing good stuff for ourselves. Glad you rededicated yourself to your health. Now we can move on to tomorrow together. If it helps, we can write to each other about what we are eating daily and become advocates for each others health and wellness. We can be that wagging no no finger and that "get your ass up and go girl" voice for each other, if you want. Either way I know you can do it! You're a great gal you deseve nothing less!
Thanks Betty for the hugs, support and friendship. It means alot to me. If I can I would like to talk to you when I am feeling weak and tempted, I know that you will not hold back and will give me what I need, is that ok with you?
You know it's ok with me! :)

Gardens and plants play an important role in our lives…
This is some blog description about this site
Well, after an amazingly short period on the market my house is sold, thanks to Turpie & Co. and I'm busy tidying up the garden for the new owner to take control in May. With a little understanding of plants, the garden is fairly easy to maintain, 5 days per year isn't too much of a chore!
There is no grass to cut and therefore no problem with it encroaching into the borders, therefore maintenance is greatly reduced.
So now I have to turn my attentions to living in a flat with a communal garden that no-one seems interested in…….until I start to work on it no doubt! 14 flats share a medium sized plot, so this is going to be a challenge to get so many to agree to any improvements. It was interesting that the estate agent didn't take me to the garden but only made reference to it from the lounge window after I enquired. Garden maintenance comes at a price, although in this case none, but unless somebody, or everybody takes responsibility for the upkeep, there can be an expensive bill due for the inevitable tidy up once surrounding neighbours start to complain. I think there is at least one tree in the garden and that can be costly to maintain if any tree surgery is required. Boundary fences may require upgrading or repairing, shrubs pruned etc. so it's always worthwhile checking to see if any short term expense is likely in any garden whether it be private or communal.
A neglected communal garden is a sign that neighbours can't agree on who does, or pays for its upkeep and when the majority aren't interested then you have to consider if it's worth the effort to take on this task. I'm hoping that I get left to potter around and create simple spaces to sit and enjoy the sun. I don't want to spend too much time or money so I'll have to work with second hand, or simply constructed furniture and plants that are surplus to requirements in my clients' gardens. In time, the garden will be an asset to me and also my neighbours and I can only hope that they will come and join in the fun.
When viewing a house, it is always a good idea to ask homeowners how much time they spend maintaining their garden to give an idea of the commitment you'll have to make to its upkeep. All too often, I meet clients who want to reduce their maintenance time because they find themselves taking on too big a challenge. Gardens should be a pleasure not a chore and in many cases, simple changes that can be made to ease the burden and make your garden enjoyable.

Magic Mike records second fastest lap for Wisbech skaters at Gravesend
Wisbech Inline Speed Skaters took two teams of five all the way to Gravesend Cyclopark to compete in Britain's only sixhour endurance race of 2017.
The Junior team was headed up by Eve McInerney along with twin sister Lucy and fellow team members Warren Eve, Flynn McGurk and Dylan Taylor.
The Masters team consisted of team coaches Mike McInerney and Glen Brown and were joined by David Billington, Luke Frary and Graham Freear.
The event started off in a Le Mans style start, with one member from each competing team standing on one side of the track and then they had to run across to put their skates on and start their race.
The two Wisbech teams had decided on a single lap per skater passing a baton as they changed skater.
The mile-long silky smooth track proved a challenge for the skaters with a downhill slope leading to a sharp right hand corner then a steep uphill climb to finish the latter half of the lap.
The event saw good clean racing from all competitors with Wisbech finishing in third place for the Juniors and fourth for the Masters, completing a total of 248 laps for both teams combined.
During the race there was a 30 minute window where a fastest lap would be recorded. Mike McInerney completed his best lap in an impressive time of 2 minutes 13 seconds and recorded the second best time of the entire event to win a spot on the podium, narrowly missing out on the top spot by just two tenths of a second.
The team are due back at Tatem Park in Enfield on Sunday, June 4 for the next race of the outdoor season and their second visit to the track so far this year.

M.Ed. candidates receive degrees in summer Commencement
Thirty-nine students in the Master of Education program received their Elon University degrees Saturday morning in a Commencement ceremony featuring a keynote address from professor Judith Howard, the longtime director of the education graduate program who retires this month after serving the university since 1993 as a teacher, researcher and mentor.
In her remarks to students, their families and their friends, as well as her colleagues in the School of Education, Howard reminded the master's candidates that their drive to be better teachers is what brought them to Elon for graduate studies. "It was a major step for many of you to come back, a brave step," she said. "It took time … it took money, in an especially difficult economic period. But you came, and you succeeded, and here you are. That's what a master teacher does.
"My guess is that sooner rather than later, you'll begin to think, 'What can I do now?'" she said. "You'll begin to grow restless, and you'll want to move forward again."
Some graduates will enter the administrative ranks of their school systems, Howard predicted. Others would return to higher education in pursuit of a doctorate. However, "most of you will remain teachers, because the classroom is where you want to be and it's where your heart is. … My challenge for you today is that you are never completely satisfied."
After all, she said, that drive for improvement is what fosters passion in the classroom and will help strengthen public faith in the nation's educational system.
Howard specialized in the design of curriculum and instruction for exceptional learners. During her time at Elon, she produced a series of problem-based curriculum units for use in K-12 classrooms, and her current research explored effective implementation in inclusive settings. She published in professional journals, spoke frequently at professional conferences and consulted with more than 50 school districts nationwide.
Howard arrived at Elon at a time when the school was searching for someone to establish a new special education program. In 1999, she became the director of the Master of Education program and, two years later, restructured the program into its current three-summer cohort configuration for elementary and special education programs. In 2006, she worked to expand the program to include a program for gifted education.
Graduates and their guests also heard from Elon University President Leo M. Lambert and Elon University Provost Steven House.
"We trust that Elon has broadened your character as well as your skills," House told graduates as he explained the symbolism of the light blue accent color of the hoods they were to receive. "Your achievements, and your allegiance to Elon, will be with you the rest of your life."
In his charge to graduates, Lambert likened the role of great teachers to those of magicians, changing "conformity into creativity and dependence into self-reliance." He also lauded them for the way their work will transcend decades as the children they inspire one day enter the world to create positive change.
"The influence of your work on other human beings will carry forward in wonderful and unimaginable ways," he said. "Thank you for choosing Elon. We are deeply proud of you."

A poetry slam is a competitive event in which performers recite their original work and are judged on a numerical scale by members of the audience. The first slam took place in 1984, Chicago and was well received among young artist with various backgrounds. In 1990 Fort Mansion hosted the first National Poetry Slam with two teams from Chicago and San Franciso, completed by an individual poet from New York. In 2010 the number of participate teams grew to approximately 80. The slam poets demanded a more daring democratized poetry type instead of the strict academic one.
Some of the subjects the spoken poetry treats involve economic, racial, gender injustices that the audience can relate to. The poems are recited with passion to sensitize the audience and do not need a specific rhyme as much as a flowing rhythm. Repetition is an important aspect of this poetry with a cause because it emphasizes the message. If you are curios about how to write slam poetry, here are five steps you should follow:
Step 1 – Choose your topic
If you don't know how to write slam poetry and where to begin, the first step is to find a cause that you relate to. Your slam will seem more genuine if you write about something you are passionate about. You can carry a notebook and write ideas as they come along.
Step 2 – Research
Listen to other slams so you get an idea about how it should sound like. It is important to know what other people are doing and connect to the community. Beau Sia, Georgia Me and Saul William have very good slams.
Step 3 – Let the rhythm flow
You don't have to know how to write slam poetry or be an expert in literature to write a good piece. Just let the rhythm flow and fill the pages with passionate lyrics about the topic you have chosen. The slam poetry is powerful and blunt. Use repetition to emphasize an idea by returning to the same phrase or key word.
Step 4 – Replace words
Re-read your poem and replace simple words with more bold, strong ones that will give your poetry depth.
Step 5 – Read it out loud
Read your slam out loud and imagine you're in the audience. Did it make an impact or affect you in any way? Is the message clear and the lyrics passionate? You can also read it to a friend and ask him for feedback. Good luck!
