They need to acquire information in order to expand their knowledge and understanding; students should use the library to do their assignments, research and preparation of their examination.

Just about every time I go over to Lies house, I feel the need to take hundreds of snap shots because every little corner is filled with something bright, interesting, and very inspired -just like dweller of the house themselves. There is always something different; a new toy, drawing, knitted blanket, cushion cover, and so on. My eyes don't have a chance to get bored!
Also another big thing this week, dropping off my finally completed portfolio book to my new agency! international rescue are now representing me as an illustrator which I am very happy about. If anybody would like some tips about portfolio books and you live in auckland, I would sure be happy to talk. I learned a lot about printing and bookbinding through this process.
Off to an appointment with my accountant, which will be about as much fun as a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. oh well, these things must be done.
merry weekend everybody!

Fell from .29 to .22 in three trading days.
Are you sure about one dollar per sharein less than twenty trading days?
What is your factual basis for no dilution?
Is it possible dilution is already takingplace with USTT having pumped this stockup and are now dumping?
Have you previously posted as "Tipster"by some odd chance?

Purl Gurl
You have to realize that most pennt stocks are driven by day traders who look to capitalize on 1 cent movement..I read the remarks by tipster and think that guy should better reread his facts..as for the $1 assertion...i obtained reports written by barrons and money which address the current growth in revenues and sales based on the company's alliances with various independent grocers. The articles mentioned that trial runs with these groups may push the stock up as potential exist for the company to latch on with a major distributor..remember they have agreements with IBM and other major retailers offering hands free vendor services
No need for me to realize this. I ama hardcore day trader.
"...USA Technologies is an IBM Business Partner...."
I cannot find a single document which verifiesthis claim by USTT. Business partner, tell mehow much revenue has been generated throughtheir claimed partnership with IBM? Wouldyou mind presenting a document issued byUSTT which verifies this IBM deal?
"...and other major retailers...."
These major retailers are whom and whatreports do you hold showing revenue data?
"...i obtained reports written by barrons and money...."
So provide those reports to readers. Do youhave a reason to not provide those reports?
Your comments on this serious fall in priceof USTT over the past three days are what?
Your comments on what appears to be dilutionof value by USTT itself, are what?

Creature Feature Art Sale This Friday, May 21st
For the third year several Nationally and Locally recognized artisans will join together for a special art exhibit and sale to benefit The Grand Theatre in Ellsworth. Creature Feature III is a show and sale of small artworks produced especially for this event by artists Rebekah Raye, Laura Balombini, Heidi Daub, Suzan Scribner-Reed and Christina Heiniger. Each artist has created 6 pieces of artwork featuring animals and other creatures that are priced between $100-$250. There is a special sale of the work on May 21st from 3-7pm. Partial proceeds from the art sale will be donated to The Grand Theatre. The sale will also feature cards, digital prints, books and other small items for purchase. I've printed up some really cool stickers from my Creature Feature paintings which I will also bring to the sale. In addition, each artist has created a larger piece which will also be offered for sale.
This year's Creature Feature roster is stellar. Artist Rebekah Raye of Blue Hill is the author and illustrator of several children's books published by Tilbury House. Her work is shown in many galleries throughout Maine including The Courthouse Gallery in Ellsworth. She will be bringing her books, including her newest, Bear-ly There to sign at the Creature Feature sale event. Laura Balombini, also from the Blue Hill area, travels around the country participating in prestigious National shows including Paradise City in Northampton, MA and at The Fuller Craft Museum. Her polymer clay sculptures have won national awards. She exhibits at Red Dot Gallery in Deer Isle, of which she is a founding member. At Creature Feature she'll be exhibiting her new acrylic paintings. Heidi Daub has shown her work at Shaw Jewelry in Northeast Harbor and the Firehouse Gallery in Damariscotta, among many others. Her acrylic works are known for their lyrical beauty. She is also a writer of poetry and in 2008 published a compilation of 29 original paintings and poems. She resides in Blue Hill as well. Suzan Scriber-Reed of Winterport is known by many for her line of recycled paper and silver jewelry shown at galleries and fine craft shows throughout Maine and the Northeast. However, her bird collages (which she will exhibit in Creature Feature III) are stunning in their artistry and attention to detail. Through her business, Wild Ivy Designs, she exhibits at Paradise City Art Festivals, Directions Fine Craft Show on MDI and at many other venues. Lastly, artist Christina Heiniger(that's me) of Fern House Studio in Lamoine is the originator and organizer of Creature Feature. A former K-5 art teacher in the Ellsworth schools, Christina now travels the Northeast exhibiting her watercolor paintings and puppets. She recently exhibited in The Center for Maine Contemporary Art's Work of The Hand Show and in the Maine Crafts Association's juried Biennial, The Inspired Hand IV. She routinely organizes arts events in the Ellsworth area through her local creative economy initiative "Arts Across Ellsworth."
This is a very special and unique opportunity to purchase small paintings by these 5 artists at affordable prices. Work can be previewed at The Grand lobby May 1st-21st, with the sale May 21st, 3-7pm. The reception and sale will feature refreshments, book signings by Rebekah Raye and other special surprises. Those wishing to pre-purchase work and pick it up at the sale may do so by contacting the individual artist(s).

Heidi Daub at Creature Feature III
Blue Hill Artist Heidi Daub is showing her lovely work at the Creature Feature III show at The Grand Theatre, downtown Ellsworth, Maine. Heidi has shown in many prominent Maine Galleries such as the Firehouse Gallery in Damariscotta and Shaw Jewelry in Northeast Harbor. Her acrylic works are known for their lyrical beauty. She is also a writer of poetry and in 2008 published a compilation of 29 original paintings and poems. Heidi has created six beautiful small paintings for this show which are priced at a very affordable $150. It's a unique opportunity to purchase an original Heidi Daub painting even if you're on a small budget. The piece above is sold, but there are five other great little paintings still available by Heidi. You can see the show during regular lobby hours at The Grand (Monday through Thursday 10am-4pm) or during events. Our Creature Feature Sale will be on Friday, May 21st from 3 to 7pm. You can purchase work during the sale or contact Heidi to prepurchase work prior to the sale.

Rebekah Raye at Creature Feature III
I'm so excited about this year's artists participating in The Creature Feature III Show at The Grand in Ellsworth. I'll post a word about each of them over the next 2-3 weeks on this blog so you can get to know them.
Blue Hill Artist and Illustrator Rebekah Raye is not only a talented artist, but a fun and kind person! Many people know her for her 3 children's books, The Very Best Bed, Thanks to the Animals, and her latest, Bear-ly There. Rebekah has created seven new pieces of fabulous artwork for the Creature Feature III Show, which she's selling at special prices (affordable). However, she's also bringing her notecards and her books to the Artist's Reception and Sale on May 21st (3-7pm). She'll be signing her books and I'm sure entertaining us all with her sense of humor and lovely Southern accent.
Don't miss Rebekah and the 4 other Creature Feature III artists on May 21st, 3-7pm in The Grand Theatre Lobby, Downtown Ellsworth (Maine).

Tangle With a Turkey and Other Adventures on a Maine Day Trip
Yesterday morning I headed out for the two and a half hour drive to Lewiston. My only goal was to pick up the puppets I had in The Maine Craft Association's Biennial Show. Little did I know the adventures and misadventures that would fill my day.
Despite the driving rain and high winds, I made it to Lewiston without any trouble. Turning into the road that leads to USM, I noticed rte. 9 went to Lisbon and Topsham. So after picking up my puppets, I headed down rte. 9 on a whim, figuring I'd stop at Target in Topsham and get some shopping done. (Target, why do I love thee so? Let me count the reasons. 1. Your Iams dog treats are way cheaper than Hannaford's. 2. You aren't quite as evil as Wal-Mart. 3. I can find Stylin' clothes on your sale racks...)
The drive through Lisbon (the birthplace of Moxie Soda--it's a Maine thing!) was quite lovely and truly a Maine experience: everything from green parks to old empty mills to trailers to gentrified ranch homes; antique dealers next to self storage units. Lisbon has a kind of retro feel. Main Street looks like it hasn't changed much since 1965. It's REAL and not all spiffed up and fancy. I liked it! Enroute I decided I might as well go to Freeport and stop at arguably the best bead store in Maine, The Beadin' Path. So after a quick spin through Target, I hopped back onto 295 and was soon picking out lovely beads at The Beadin' Path to resell at The April Bead Show I organize in Ellsworth (the lucite beech leaf beads above are going to offered for sale at the Ellsworth Show). Beadin' Path has a great selection of vintage and contemporary lucite beads and also beautiful Czech glass beads. Also stopped in at the hip Horny Toad outlet on Bow Street.
For the long trip home I decided to take 95 to Augusta, then rte. 3 to Belfast. Just outside of Belfast, while listening carefully to a story about the new iPad on NPR, I suddenly noticed a HUGE wild turkey out of the corner of my eye. It was fluttering rapidly towards me, perhaps flustered by the heavy wind and rain. In a flash it smashed its 50 to 60 pound body into my driver's side, sheering my rearview mirror right off. With my rearview now hanging by two skinny electrical cords and a pounding heart I drove into Belfast. Amazingly, the rearview was the only thing damaged. I survived the incident shaken, but unscathed. The turkey, I fear, wasn't in very good shape. Having stopped in Belfast, I figured I might as well stop into the retro-chic store Yo Mama's Home, where I hopefully didn't bore the salesperson too badly with my woeful turkey tale. Feeling grateful to be alive and unhurt, I pulled my smashed rearview into my car and headed out, through the ongoing wind and rain for HOME, always the best place ever after adventures big and small.

Creature Feature Preview
I organize a show every year called Creature Feature in Ellsworth at The Grand Theatre. This year is the third annual show, so it's called Creature Feature III. I'm excited to be working with four other talented artists on the show this year: Rebekah Raye of Blue Hill, Suzan Scribner-Reed of Winterport, Heidi Daub of Blue Hill, and Laura Balombini also of Blue Hill.
This year my work is looking a little different. I wanted to create pieces for the show that were inspired and based upon vintage graphics from the '60's and '70's. I have an inexplicable love for German memory games from that era and I based my Creature Feature images this year on graphics used in those. I will be previewing work by myself and the other artists here from time to time in the lead up to the show. The actual pieces will be hanging in the Grand Theatre lobby May 1-21, with a special sale of the work May 21st, 3-7pm. If you'd like to pre-purchase work I will have the pieces up on my website and you can purchase them there before the sale.
The piece above, Sleeping Fox, was based on a fox from a 1966-68 memory game. It was adapted from an image with a sitting fox. This piece has the vintage appeal of the original graphic but has my own composition and design. The media is Derwent Aquarelle Watercolor pencils on watercolor paper, which is a new medium for me.
I hope you will check back from time to time to get a glimpse of what will be in the Creature Feature III Show. By the way, 10% of the sales from the show will be donated to The Grand Theatre.

By Richard McGuire
Special to the Chronicle
Osoyoos Town Council on Tuesday gave initial support to two business additions to the Gateway Plaza – a drive-through KFC restaurant and a drive-through Great Canadian Oil Change with a car wash.
Applications for both projects were submitted separately by Osoyoos developer Hart Buckendahl. Gateway Plaza is the plaza anchored by Buy-Low Foods.
The KFC would be located next to Highway 97 between Interior Savings and the grocery store.
There is no access to the plaza from Highway 97 and customers need to enter from Highway 3 or from Eagle Court.
The oil change and car wash would be located between the Highway 3 entrance and the Dollar Store With More.
Neither proposal led to debate Tuesday, as councillors accepted the recommedations of Gina MacKay, director of planning and development services.
The only disagreement was over the timing of a required public hearing on a zoning amendment for the oil change business.
Councillor Mike Campol argued to hold it at 7 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 17 so that people who work can attend. He was overruled by the rest of council, who voted to hold the hearing at the usual 4 p.m. when town staff are normally around.
MacKay told council that the KFC proposal will require reconfiguration of parking, as the restaurant will be built in an area now used as part of the parking lot. Nonetheless, both the restaurant and the plaza will still meet parking requirements.
Although MacKay has delegated approval authority to issue development permits, she chose to exercise her discretion to bring the application to council to authorize the permit.
The 16-seat restaurant will be 144 square metres (1,550 square feet) in size and there will be a pick-up window at the rear of the building. The existing median will need to be relocated to accommodate the restaurant.
Councillor C.J. Rhodes asked if any existing businesses at the plaza had expressed concerns about the restaurant.
MacKay said that despite a sign being up, no concerns have been expressed to date.
Campol, who has worked with franchise restaurants in the past, pointed out that other businesses there would probably welcome the KFC because it becomes a good draw as a convenience stop at the plaza, thereby drawing some traffic to other businesses.
MacKay said she did discuss the proposal with Interior Savings. Ultimately, the size of the restaurant was reduced during the consultations to give it a more reasonable footprint.
The oil change and car wash business, unlike the KFC, does require a zoning bylaw amendment because this type of business is not currently a permitted use in the C2-Shopping Centre Commercial Zone.
The proposed building is smaller than the four existing commerical buildings in the Gateway Plaza and it will use vacant undeveloped commercial space.
"The owner does not anticipate the business will generate enough traffic to become an issue," said MacKay in her report to council. "And, due to the nature of the drive-through business and its location in a commerical plaza, customer parking will not be a concern."
There is only one other car wash business in Osoyoos, and while there are several businesses that can change oil, there are none close to the Highway 97 and 3 intersection.
"Planning staff is of the belief that the use is appropriate for the location," MacKay concluded, adding that the town policy is to avoid sprawl development.

What can eLearning Professionals learn from "Pokemon Go"?Vinayak Khadye / No Comments
When I last checked, Pokemon Go was downloaded by more than 130 million users since its launch just over a month ago in Jul'16. Telephone took more than 75 years to reach to 50 million users and post Internet era facebook took more than 3 years. Coroporate L&D professionals find it extremely tough to convince a small fraction of these number to access even their gamified learning courses. Considering this, Pokemon Go's success is phenomenal. Can L&D professionals learn something from Pokemon Go? Following are the "Pokemon Go" principles which can be adopted by L&D professionals while designing & delivering their eLearning initiatives:
1. Breaking the normal rules & conventions
Most of the Conventional digital games, whether desktop or mobile based, are such that players are always indoor at one location, if not stationary. Pokemon Go breaks this normal and requires users to be on the move, delivering a completely different exprience. The promise of this unique experience appeals to the game enthusiasts and creates enough curiosity to try this game.
2. Instant gratification of a unique experience
"Hi-tech" concenpts like augmented reality (AR) & virtual reality (VR) are pereceived to be something that rich experience at home or masses experience at theme & entertainment parks. AR / VR based games are considered expensive and require investments in expensive gadgets. Pokemon Go delivers this "hi-tech" experience almost instanty just at the download of an app.
3. Simple & easy to play
Despite Pokemon Go's "hi-tech" appeal and "breaking the normal rules & convention" characterstic, the game issimple to play. Thanks to its simplicity, the game is being played by players across wide range of age bands and also by both the genders.
4. Play anywhere & anytime
The game is delivered & played on mobile and hence one can play the game any time, any where without needing the expensive gadgets to be carried with oneself, which is normally the case with AR / VR games.Posted in: Blog

The role of the light source is complete electrical / optical conversion, the light emitting device module key.
A light source for optical fiber communications requirements can be summarized as follows:
(1) peak wavelength emitted by the source, should be in the low-loss optical fiber within the window;
(2) there is a sufficiently high and stable output power;
(3) high conversion efficiency, driving low power, long life, high reliability;
(4) good color and direction;
(5) easy to modulate, fast response;
(6) the intensity of noise to be small;
(7) the intensity of the linear drive current is better.

Sneaking into the Palmetto Studios Holiday Art Show
Palmetto Studios hosted its holiday art show last Friday (Dec. 17th, 11') in Myrtle Beach. Donations were taken for the Palmetto Arts Alliance. The event was a huge success as there were over 25 artists from around the Grand Strand showing off some of their most recent works. These works ranged from contemporary to modern and included things such as furniture, portraits, and working pieces. Everything was for sale and many fine pieces of work were sold.
The art show hosted a number of entertainers, including Ms. Olga who performed a jazz dance routine for everyone present. The local band "Humble Vibez" provided soothing and jamming music during the show. There was an open bar where guests were free to enjoy themselves well into the evening. We also provided entertainment in the way of our sneaky ninja who kept popping up throughout the event.
A message from the curator and planner of the art show, Steven Haines:
"We're really happy that everyone had such a great time and we are looking forward to bringing them a LOT more local art talent in the new year! We think we have some of the best artists in the country right here in the southeast and we are going to do all we can to make sure everyone else knows that too!"
Palmetto Studios/Corsair Comics hosts a number of events every month including Magic The Gathering game nights, Warhammer 40k nights, and more to come. You will soon find Ohso making use of the venue for some one-on-one interviews with guest. Not all of them will sit on the love seat though:

for flute and string orchestra
degree of difficuty for the flute part: medium-high
degree of difficuty for the orchestra: medium
duration: 13' approx.
year of composition: 1999
work property of the author
(the parts can be hired out)
WORK REGISTERED AT SIAE (Italian Authors and Publishers Association)
(The Witches of Benevento) In 1999 a proposal for the composition of a work for flute and strings inspired by the city of Benevento 'the city of witches', came to Anzaghi. The author did not allow this occasion to delve into the witchcraft of Benevento escape him, and set himself to work predisposing a score conforming to the requested instrumentation: one soloistic part for flute and five parts for strings. An excess of witchcraft produced, however, produced baleful effects: there was no performance and there was news of other and more gloomy events. The solitude in which the author loves to hide himself protected him from these. The lack of a performance is not always a calamity if it prevents - inspite of itself - a bad performance. Statistics tell us that the first performances of contemporary music are deficient. If the lost performance had, on the other hand, been a good one? In doubt, the author preferred to give the blame to the witchcraft of Benevento to which - with burning Pythagoric mirrors - he returned the calamity.
The score was finalised. But, being a point of arrival as much as of departure for sorcerous embroilment, the author, for now, does not wish to speak of it on-line: Eventual questions concerning this piece will be welcomed only from such people as may already have been instructed by an exorcist.
Anzaghi, who has old relationships with witchcraft and sorcery, does not limit himself to crossing his fingers. He stirred up the fire under the cauldron in which he had 'conjured' Le Streghe and reforged the material therein into a new score intitled Archindò, requested from him by a chamber symphonic institution of Milan. Replicating the previous behaviour, the institution did not honour its duty to perform. This orchestra did not have a long life.
He who lives by the sword, dies by the sword.
The author, not just a little amused, is awaiting a third request.

Guest Post by Author R.L. Griffin My weight is something I've thought about every single day of my life since I was 13. Although I'm excited to do this guest post, it pisses me off, because I wish I didn't have to think about my weight. I wish that I didn't have to exercise to stay the same weight, but I do, so that's reality. I've always been a well rounded body type. I competed in gymnastics from the time I was 6 until the 6th grade. I trained and practiced at least 2 hours a day every day. I'm an athlete, always have been. From my years of gymnastics I was muscular, very toned for my entire adolescence. Of course, I thought I was fat. I wasn't. When I hit college and wasn't … [Read more...]
Guest Post by R.L. Griffin: My Fat Pants Are Too Tight!
It's all their faults, the fuckers. 2 C-sections. Now I have this THING. Granted, I'm on the fat side. But it's so concentrated in my lower belly above my scar it's strange looking! (That is NOT my belly...mine is bigger) What is this gigantic thing hanging from my body? Before kids I had a butt, but my waist was ridiculously small and I had no tummy. My mom used to have to take in my jeans at the waist. My whole family has big butts and small waists and chests. Then I got pregnant and gained 65 points with my first kid (I actually came out of the hospital weighing more than when I went in to give birth and never took a pound off). Every pound was in my stomach. For years, people … [Read more...]
Weight Debate: Nature vs. Nurture
I have two boys. One is 16, 5'10.5" and 125 pounds soaking wet. The other is a third grader, born chubby, and still is. Now if you look at mom and dad, you see the difference as well. Dad is all muscle, without an ounce of fat. He has to try to stay at 150, but often dips below (fucker). Me...lets just say I weigh a lot more. My husband and oldest son LOVE junk food, and my teen eats it non-stop. My husband just forgets to eat. (WTF? Who forgets to eat?) My little guy is not a big eater. He eats regular portion sizes. But he loves his sweets. Mr. Ana and my little guy are also the pickiest eaters ever (Mr. Ana is ridiculous, he eats like 5 things), so finding healthier choices isn't … [Read more...]
Chubby Women with Skinny Men
My husband is all lean muscle. All 150 pounds that he struggles to keep on his 5'10.5" frame. He struggles to gain weight! I want to just say a big fuck you to him, but then again, I love every inch of his body. And, yeah, he is big where it counts. When we met, I was average sized, about a size 8. He was even skinnier than me then. As the years have gone by, we have both put on weight. His is 20 pounds of muscle. Mine is 75 pounds of fat. He forgets to eat!!! Who does that? I have NEVER forgotten to eat! I could be stuffed to the gills, but I'm still thinking about what I should eat next. He doesn't really snack, I can find something to snack on all day (and I do). Part of me would … [Read more...]
WTF happened to Summer?
I had such plans....I was going to do so much with the kids this summer since they only had 4 weeks of camp and 2 weeks away. That left 4 whole weeks of NOTHING. Museums, zoos, water parks, movies, the trampoline place....all the places I planned on taking them, and....didn't. At first, I was so busy planning for Wicked Book GNO, then I was getting ready for our trip, then I was catching up from our trip and planning the next Wicked Book Weekend. Nobody is complaining, but I totally feel like a crap mom. At least we shoved so much into the 2 weeks and the kids had the time of their lives, that they are completely happy. Through all of this, I have been so busy I never even went food … [Read more...]
Vacation from Vacation
Getting back from vacation...that's when the shit hits the fan. Between catching up with missed work, laundry, 7,000 e-mails and more you wonder if it was worth it. In my case it was. But now... I am completely and totally wrecked. Exhausted. 2 weeks of non-stop action has me laid up. We went up north to drop my son off in New Jersey to rehearse for 3 days for a mini tour with shows in New York City, Philadelphia, and Gathering of the Vibes, a 3 day camping/music festival featuring members of the Grateful Dead and other amazing bands. Then we went back to New York City and Washington DC. I wear orthotics in my shoes, and forgot them and my sneakers at home. So not only did I walk more in … [Read more...]
Another Monday and I'm Eating Chocolate
Motivation? What motivation? I'm too busy to deal with the focus it takes to diet. Once again, the excuses are mounting. First, it was 3 weeks of non-stop up-all night prepping for Wicked Book GNO, then we were busy with the kids the next week, last week I didn't bother, because I knew I wouldn't stick to any diet. So once again, I'm paying for Weight Watchers and not going. Now I'm prepping to leave town for 2 weeks, following my teenage son on tour with the School of Rock Allstars, camping at a hippy festival (Gathering of the Vibes) then going to Washington DC for a few days of tourist fun. Honestly, right now I just don't give a fuck. I am what I am, and I don't have the time, … [Read more...]

This is how our TEFL graduates feel they have gained from their course, and how they plan to put into action what they learned:
Improving teaching skills and style with TEFL Developing teaching skills and style mean much more then a word 'teacher'. Teaching is not only about giving it's also about receiving, rewarding from two-way cooperation. Establishing good rapport with students always needs a balanced command of all possible teaching skills, and an absence of some professional skills could influence on teaching style and result poor education. Professional teachers cannot shift the blame onto students. He/she would try to find out what was wrong and solve problems without blaming. Considering the structure of teaching skills with TEFL. As I see, a good teacher is a person with a balanced command of teaching skills as well as with a good command of psychology. In this case I could split the teaching skills into background skills and foreground skills. Where the background skills could include psychological aspects of teaching behavior (Unit 5.p.14-16) and the foreground skills could include teaching techniques and methods of their implementation (Unit 3. p.2-3, 4-20). All the required teaching skills are lighted in details during International TEFL Teacher Training. There are a number of foreground skills we can distinguish from TEFL course. The most important of them are: creative skill,
communicative skill, managing skill, leadership skill, and monitoring skill (Chart ?1). Creative skill includes: • elaboration and implementation of stages' activities; • warmers; different games and exercises; • creating interest during the lesson (Unit 11.p.4); • encouraging interaction (Unit 12.p4); • Creating the purpose for communication (Unit 12.p1-6). Managing skill includes: • organization of sitting arrangement of the class; • grouping students (Unit 5.p.4-8); • lesson planning (Unit 9.p2-10); • selecting teaching ads and materials (Unit 17.p1-10); • Choice of teaching aims. Communicative skill includes: • abilities like establishing rapport with the students (Unit 5.p.2); • holding the attention; • abilities to encourage and motivate; • effective presentation; • Effective use of mime and gesture. Leadership skill includes: • enhancing performance in the classroom; • guiding position during the lesson; • organizing different activities (Unit 1p.3); • he ability to be a guide and a participant the same time(Unit 1p.4); • Maintaining discipline and giving instructions (Unit 5 p.13, 15). Monitoring skill includes: • evaluation and testing (Unit 15.p1-3); • encouraging self-esteem; giving feedback (Unit 1p.3);
• Controlling activities; correcting mistakes (Unit 3 p.20). Basic foreground skills closely intertwine with background skills. Mutually complementing each other they can also mutually influence on each other. Subsequently it will effect on total picture of teaching. Classifying background skills I could distinguish following groups of skills: 1. Positive (negative) personal qualities from nature: • Kindness and patience (Unit 1. p1); • Tenderness; • Positiveness(Unit 19. p10); • Fairness (Unit 1. p3); • Attentiveness; • Wise and supporting; • Confidant; • Smiling; • Respecting (Unit 19. p10); • Courteous; • Responsible; • Creative (Unit 11,12); • Cooperative; • Encouraging (Unit 19. p3). 2. Attitude to work (positive or negative): • A good teacher should really love teaching (Unit 1. p1); • A good teacher has a good knowledge of his/her subject (Unit 1. p1); • A good teacher tries to make his lessons interesting and entertaining(Unit 1. p1); • Ability to develop course curriculum and individual lessons (Unit 9. p. 104); • Aspiration for effective teaching (Unit 19. p2); • Ability to foster an effective learning environment (Unit 17. p1-20). 3. Ability to introspection: • Ability to self-esteem (Unit 15. p1-2); • Ability to
self-monitoring (Unit 19. p10); • Ability to self-correction. Background skills play an important role and at least can help to improve a total picture of teaching abilities of foreground skills. As in teaching a backside of subconscious processes have a direct impact on teaching process as a whole. Functioning of all these skills play an important role in teaching effectiveness, developing and influencing on the basic principles of teaching style as well. After examine the list of points 'What makes a good teacher?' (Unit 1. p.1) and other materials, I can observe that all the worded points closely connected to all background skills and foreground skills which was distinguished from TEFL lectures. Considering the structure of teaching style with TEFL. Relying on aforesaid information I can observe that the interaction between all structures of teaching skills can affect teaching style as a component of unified process. Choosing the style among possible directions like 'inspiring', 'confidential', 'exciting', 'boring', 'encouraging', and etc., I could probably accept the aforesaid conception. As all these sides of styles can be a part of a tendency which is directed to effective and ineffective influence on process of teaching as a whole. That
is why speaking about teaching styles I should distinguish two main tendencies: 1. Teaching style can be unbalanced: • Could contain lack of introspection; • lack of desire to be evaluated by students; • Negative attitude to work; • lack of self-organization; • Unfairness; lack of positive personal qualities; • Lack of balance; • Unprofessional; • Etc. 2. It can be well balanced: • Could contain introspection; • Self-organization; • Positive personal qualities; • Positive attitude to work; • Desire to be evaluated by students; • Etc. These two distinguished styles can have a strong influence on teaching effectiveness as well as improving. While the first is a kind of destructive, well balanced style can help to improve teaching effectiveness and as a result both sides will benefit from positive communication. Teaching style has a deep connection with presentation skill. If the aim is to improve your style, one of the main points is improvement of the way how you can present information during the lesson (Unit 17, 14, 7, 5 p. 10). If you have lack of introspection, you are not able to see your poor presentation. And as a result it can bring ineffective influence on the process of teaching as a whole. As well as if the teaching process isn't positive,
it cannot bring positive results. As long as the process of teaching is truly two-way cooperative it will return what the teacher gives. Eventually I can conclude that teaching style has a strong influence on teaching effectiveness. Improving teaching skills and style with TEFL. Reading through all materials of TEFL course I can observe a lot of really useful information for teaching improvement. For example, starting with the first unite where the information about the role of the teacher is introduced. Teaching big classes can affect lack of awareness that the teacher should have different approaches to learners (Unit 1. p.1-8). Some of students can be nervous about performing in front of the class and the teacher should pay respect to this fact, because of the deep impact of background psychological founts. Teachers should 'know students' weaknesses and try to give individual attention where necessary' (Unit 1. p.1). The most difficult areas for teachers like planning, teaching methods and techniques, class managing, classroom materials, evaluation and testing, teaching pronunciation and the most important areas of grammar are presented in course's modules. These all areas form a basic knowledge of a teaching process as a whole and give a wide introduction
to the most exciting area of pedagogy – education. Balanced and appropriate use of presented information helps to orient directions of educators and identify their teaching quality. The material is also helpful for those who don't rely on personal opinion about their teaching and have courage to look in the eye of truth (Unit 15.p1). Evaluation by students is as needful as self-correction and flexibility doesn't play the last role in developing or improving teaching skills and style. Another important area that is presented in this course - how to teach the most significant parts of students' skills and what stages lesson should contain. For young or inexperienced teachers these areas are the most complex. Sometimes they don't know how to start a lesson and warm the atmosphere among students, attract their attention and keep it as long as some activity needs. Teachers should aware the sequence in the lesson and use appropriate activity for each stage of it making a well balanced lesson. Every lesson needs a presents of three main stages as engage stage, study stage and activate stage. These stages not only help to plan appropriate activities to each stage of the lesson but also keep a pace during teaching. Lessons become more interesting and more exciting. There is
no boredom any more and students take no notice of time. If to speak about well balanced lesson then it's a presence of two main founts first of all: the sequence in the lesson and students' skills. Courses modules give teachers complete information about these fields. Structurally each lesson should contain minimum three stages and a work at productive and receptive skills. Inexperienced teachers always have difficulties at these areas and sometimes nearly forget about needful presence of some productive or receptive skills filling the lesson time over concentration upon some particular area. This usually leads to the types of lesson where too much reading or speaking for instance. At least I should say that it doesn't matter how long somebody is in teaching and what methods he/she usually uses. Submitted information is helpful for both inexperienced and experienced teachers and helps to improve teaching skills and style. My own experience. I would like to say a few words about my own experience. Being an experienced teacher I was surprised how many useful and new information I found during this course. Having a new view on my lessons I reconstructed them trying to use the most important components of the lessons as presence of the sequence of stages and
productive, receptive skills. As a result, my lessons became more interesting and balanced. I should notice that both sides benefit from balanced teaching. I work with adults as a tutor one-to-one and the sharpest problem was an absence of time for writing skill. Being working people students do not have an actual time to make home assignments, especially written ones. Rewriting of the structure of the lesson gave me a free space for writing skill. This course also helped me to become more creative and flexible teacher. As a result I increased presence of exciting speaking practice for my students and reduced my talking time to minimum. This course also helped me to look at myself and analyze my work. I brought evaluation by students in my classes and questionnaires for business english students. Generally speaking I think I benefit from each particular module. As each one is a container of really useful and significant information. Literature: 1. Jef Menguin "Improve your teaching style". 2.

The new Bistro section on the lower floor of Mary Jemison Dining Hall is redefining comfort food with its worldly selection of "homestyle" treats.
"The Bistro came about because the Asian station that we had there––Pan Pacific––was basically underutilized compared to all the rest of the stations in MJ," Campus Auxiliary Service's assistant general manager Debbie Krueger said. "So we wanted to do something different each day that would add more variety to our menu."
The Bistro has a variety of comfort foods, ranging from Vietnamese food to American mashed potatoes and gravy. "Mondays we have Bánh Mì, a Vietnamese pork sandwich, and on the other side we have a tater tot bar, where you can get cheddar cheese sauce, gravy, cheese curd and bacon bits," assistant executive chef Michelle Halloran said.
The creative station serves traditional "comfort foods" from a different region every weekday. Tuesdays features taco salad and Wednesdays have a baked potato and mashed potato bar. Thursdays feature grilled cheese sandwiches with homemade tomato soup. On Fridays, the Bistro serves "an English style fish taco and fish and chips," according to Halloran.
"It's not completely American home-style," CAS director of culinary operations Jonna Anne said. "It's just comfort food that people have all grown up with with a little bit of a twist, hence the name 'the Bistro.'"
Although its reception among students has been varied, students do seem to appreciate the new foods offered through this option.
"It was a new experience and because I am a pescetarian, I was happy that the Bistro was serving fish taco instead of meat," sophomore Esther Keon said.
"I really love the grilled cheese because there are so many options to choose from," sophomore Eunice Kim added. "Honestly, when I came to college I expected grilled cheese to be on the menu but it never was, so I am glad that it's finally here now."
"We've done this from student feedback so the reason for the changes is because … [Pan Pacific] wasn't being utilized so we looked through our surveys and customer comments and found that the students were really searching for something different," Anne said. "They wanted something that's more based on comfort. Comfort means a lot of different things to many different people, so the Bistro fit."
The Bistro is open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mondays to Fridays. "When spring comes around, I'm hoping to get more seasonal items in there," Halloran said. "We will switch some of the items to a lighter meal."

Thank God somebody in this country is taking action in view of the complete circus that is unfolding in the national election arena where none of the major candidates seem to even care about our U.S. Constitution.
I've never seen it this bad. However, I just read in The New American magazine at www.thenewamerican.com that the John Birch Society, a non-profit educational organization, has organized what they call their growing "mass collaboration" nationwide effort online and through meetings with like-minded people and groups to preserve our families and freedoms through creating an online community of education and action in accordance with constitutional and moral principles.
Their stated strategy is to provide the opportunity for people to support our national constitution by organizing a JBS.org Freedom Campaign Meetup group.

|Issue Number:
|First Published:

|Next Issue:
|Hulk (She-Hulk v4) 2
Official SolicitationEdit
JENNIFER WALTERS has survived the Civil War… barely… and having risen from the rubble, she re-enters the world a different kind of hero. Fueled by a quiet rage, she is determined to move forward, to go on with her life, but the pain of the past and all she's lost is always there – an undercurrent, a pulse, waiting to quicken and trigger Jen's transformation into the one thing she doesn't have control over…
"Deconstructed, Part One"Edit
Jennifer Walters returns to work for the first time since her battle with Thanos had left her in a coma. She meets her new assistant Bradley, who reveals her first case is with Maise Brewn, a woman being evicted from her apartment. As she heads to her office, she meets several others along the way that seem surprised that Jennifer had decided not to use her She-Hulk alter-ego. In her office, the strange woman Maise Brewn sits in the dark until Jennifer switches the light on. Maise tells Jennifer that she's being evicted by Mr. Tick, her landlord, because he claimed her checks were bad (though he was able to cash them anyway). During the conversation, Maise repeatedly mentions that she never leaves her home. She also reveals she has restorative powers that she gained after being attacked. Jennifer tells Maise that she'll do her very best to keep Maise in her home, which she takes as a promise.
After work, Jennifer gets a text from her best friend Patsy Walker, who had gotten her the job. She picks up some Chinese food and heads home, where she's confronted by Florda Mayers. Mayers desperately wishes to speak to Jennifer about what had happened to her and her cousin Bruce, as she's writing a book on trauma. Jennifer tells her to leave, but she continues her request until Jennifer makes it into her elevator. She begins to transform into She-Hulk out of stress and anger, but manages to hold it off by watching a cooking show on her laptop.
At Maise's apartment, she speaks with a mysterious creature in the dark who promises to protect her.

Wow! What a sight, teachers in pyjamas, kids in pyjamas. The best thing was that some people even had face paint on. What could have been going on at High Spen Primary, on the 16th November?!
Of course it was our Children in Need Day! What a great day. The lovely kitchen staff made spotty cupcakes with Pudsey on top, which we all enjoyed. There were raffle prizes of Pudsey cakes, bears, ears and wristbands. All this raised money for a very good cause, in total we raised £223.
Everybody had a marvelous time and maybe Mr Firth will consider letting us come to school in our pyjamas all of the time!
Amy Corr – PRESS PACK
ABOUT CHILDREN IN NEED: The BBC in 1980 set up the Children in Need Charity that has raised over £600 million. Money raised goes towards helping disabled children and young people in the UK. Every November the BBC donate one evening to the telethon to raise the awareness using Pudsey bear as the mascot. Terry Wogan hosts the program and celebrities appear throughout to entertain and appeal for money, this is mixed with updates of how the previous years money has been used. Viewers are kept up to date with the total being constantly announced. Before the telethon starts BBC radio 2 hosts 4 days of fund raising that ends as the telethon begins.
Money is raised by individuals and businesses who do various fund raising activities or benefits in kind such as offering bank services, telephone lines etc.
The success of this charity is all thanks to the generosity of everybody involved including our school.

Ever had a song take you out of body?
originally posted by: seentoomuch
Hi TRG,
I'm stopping in for a visit to ask your advice and your thoughts on a really strange "dream" I had last night. It has some of the earmarks of an OOBE, but in other ways it does not fit. It's a doozey. (Lol, am really glad this forum is anonymous right now, otherwise it would never be posted, my neighbors would have a field day with this.)
Last night I was kicking back in our livingroom on my favorite overstuffed chair, sitting crossways, head on one armrest, feet up and across the other, warm throw across my middle. TV was muted, my ipod was playing my easy listening favorites on our sound system, laptop was on the ottoman next to my chair and I sipped two glasses of wine as I surfed the net. Around 8:00 PM – 9:00 PM? I started getting sleepy so I got up and let our two dogs out in the backyard for a "last chance for the night bathroom run", turned off the TV, turned off the table lamps but before turning off the uplights and the ipod music I decided to check the net one more time before bed.
I don't recall falling asleep, I recall that my eyeslids were drooping, and that I was reading the screen, the next minute I was pulled out of my body with a wind whooshing sound in my ears. I was pulled out into the sky and flying at supersonic or beyond speeds. From a few previous "dreams" I knew that I had no control over where I was going, at least not consciously (if that's what I was, I definitely was thinking clearly about the situation at the time). The trip ended in a small bedroom with light from the street coming in the window. A small girl was in the bed asleep. I stood there looking at her and realized that though asleep she was communicating with me somehow. She was showing me about her life.
Through her eyes I saw her gripping the gates of a school watching the children inside in the yard, some had musical instruments, some were up on the steps of the building rapping, or whatever it's called. I looked down and saw she was wearing a mostly gray skirt with light pink and white woven into it, a school uniform. She wanted to attend this particular school but felt it wasn't possible. It was a special school, and there was difficulty getting into it, that somehow, (she wasn't clear on this part) her Mother said she couldn't manage it. She said/mind thing that one day she WOULD attend THAT school; she was angry, frustrated and very determined. She said that she would find a way.
She then showed me that she lived most of the time with an Indian couple and their son, who was her age, (5 or 6 I would guess). And that she didn't have a father and her Mother let her stay at this friend's apartment a lot. At this point I finally got a good look at her within one of her explanations (in full light), she had straight strawberry blonde hair, cut at the jawline level with bangs.
Then, here's the really, really strange part, she told me that she remembers things, and I saw through her eyes camera flashes in her face, people surrounding her, a knowing that she was very well off, she was showing me many instances of what she remembered from what I gathered at that point was living before as someone else. Memory after memory and then I realized who she used to be, and from what I saw of her spirit she will be just as creative as before in this life. (Btw: I have never believed in reincarnation, but, lol, this "dream" was very convincing). She said that the family she stayed with told her that when she remembered these things not to be upset, that to remember is good. It was really just the last moments of that life that upset her and she felt the pain still, in her back especially. She asked if this would go away? I told her that with time it will fade and to let it.
At this point I was standing over her, looking through my eyes again and I bent close to her and told her to have sweet dreams, that all would work out, soothing thoughts to brush away the fear, (all the mothers reading this understand what I said) and then I was pulled back instantly into my body, on the big overstuffed chair in our livingroom.
Whew! That was really intense, hence me writing to you for explanations/advice. My main question for you: Was this a dream or an OOBE? If it was an OOBE, does what you are hearing in a relaxed state direct where you go in an OOBE? 'Cause the music playlist that I was listening to was mainly John Lennon.
Thanks for starting this thread, I really needed to share this for input, I'm still amazed and don't know what to think,

Ever had a song take you out of body?
Music and Pattern of Energies During an OBE Attempt
Every song produces both a thought and a sentiment in us. This, in turn, can change the pattern of energies (chi) around us. Energies are the mechanism to call (evoke) and interact with extraphysical entities. In other words, the music will tend to create a matching extraphysical energy environment. This process is usually unconscious, but it can affect the quality of your out-of-body experience.
When our intentions are good and there is effort toward personal growth, it is natural that non-physical beings may come around to help you have a lucid OBE. An entity (or spirit) that is lucid and clear on how to help you and always 100% ethical is called a helper.
Depending on the music you choose for your astral travel experiment, it may "drive" the energy in a direction that is out of sync with what a helper would like to do to facilitate your OBE process. It would be as if music make you move "on rails", in a specific direction, and you may want to have room to maneuver as the experience develops. You may end up with energies and companions that you did not choose consciously.

Ubuntu de Nihongo ga ...
2005-10-03 01:35:00
Finally got around to trying to set up Japanese-language support on my Ubuntu laptop (running 5.04, "Hoary Hedgehog"), which is the machine I've been using day-to-day since starting work at OSAF.
With each new Linux distro I've used, the process for setting up Japanese has always been a completely different and totally excruciating process. And once it was set up, it using the Japanese language in a specific app required setting up a bunch of screwy environment variables in a terminal like this:
export LANG LC_ALL LINGUAS LESSCHARSET
The other alternative was using an entirely Japanese-language environment, which is pretty unappealing for a someone like me who speaks it as second language.
So imagine my shock, surprise, and delight when simply following the instructions in this page on Ubuntu CJK provided me with seamless Japanese support that just frigging works.
This is huge. Using Japanese on this machine now is as easy and trouble-free as it is on my wife's Mac. I cannot say enough in praise of the good people at Ubuntu and the SCIM Project who have obviously done piles of work to make using multiple languages under *nix this easy. I can actually copy-paste Japanese text between apps -- something I haven't been able to do since back in my Mac OS 9 days.
This is more exciting than when printing from Ubuntu "just worked" last week in the OSAF office, when Windows couldn't find a single printer on the network. Strange times we're living in, my friends.

Science today is difficult to imagine without a strong IT component. In Europe science that depends on IT is called eScience. IT infrastructures that support eScience are called e-Infrastructures. There is a long tradition to develop e-Infrastructures in Europe, and to try to connect them into continent wide e-Infrastructures. This to allow reasearchers from different countries to work together using the same computers.

I grew up in a village just outside Oxford, where I could walk everywhere and my best friend lived just around the corner. I was a complete bookworm; I would read and re-read books and get completely absorbed in the characters' lives. I adored Enid Blyton and wanted to have adventures in boarding school, dig up buried treasure or live in a castle. I also loved watching cartoons and was fascinated by all their tiny details. I used to pause videos and draw the characters from the screen.
While I've always been creative, I was not a child who drew all of the time. It was a love of books, stories, characters and a vivid imagination that led me to my job as an illustrator. Or, I suppose, what literally led me to be an illustrator was a journey from a truly inspiring art department at school, to a challenging Art Foundation course, then to a degree in Illustration at University College Falmouth. My time in Falmouth was brilliant: a beautiful, fun and creative place by the sea. I made more friends that lived just around the corner, drew every day, and tried to limit the amount of fish and chips I consumed!
I now work full time as a children's book illustrator from The Papered Parlour studios in London. I love my job and get inspired by all sorts of things – clutter, colours, meerkats, patterns, people watching… as well as the stories that land on my desk (or inbox, to be more precise.)
My work is led by hand-drawn lines: scribbling characters and backgrounds with pens and pencils onto paper, which are then scanned in and collaged together in Photoshop with digital colour and scraps of pattern and hand-made textures. I could never eliminate the hand drawn element from my work, but I really love working digitally too – it also removes any fear of mistakes!I like: tea, pastry and chocolate; meals with close friends; the sound of writing; walking; cold, sunny days; otters; long train journeys; bookcases; photographs; clothes shopping; ambitious people; old, beautiful, rambling houses; egg on toast; music; dancing; treats; and travels.
I dislike: doorbells and telephones; clowns; wasps; vinegar; disorganisation; laziness; and rain.
I really like working on Arthur – drawing him came very naturally to me; it's almost like he was already in my head, waiting for me to read the story and bring his image to life. I'm also slightly envious of his pet duck. Well, who wouldn't want a pet duck?!

Here are a few pictures of goodies I found while I was out.
The red box has a place to put pencils-I'm pretty sure I am going to paint it white and the blue box looks like a wood shop project-also painting it white. The bird picture is for my May Day swap partner and I love Pyrex. the Saint Candle is a nice addition to my collection and a sewing basket with a built in thread holder!!!
