Blizzards in April, Adventures In Adversity

Spring is often late in the north Peace. This year winter has lingered longer than most and all of us were relieved when warmer temperatures finally began to erode the snow banks and the grass began to re-emerge! This morning Mother Nature, in a particularly cruel twist, brought back winter  for one last blast. Five centimeters of snow fell over freezing rain with 50 km winds and blowing snow making driving a nasty challenge. All this on the second to last day of April!

Our district people took the event in stride. Buses were cancelled. Contingency plans were rolled out as staff, students and parents dealt with the situation. We're a resilient bunch up here. In my 24 years working in the district I have witnessed snowfalls in every month on the calendar. Our ability to cope with such events is one of the things that makes working here so interesting.

Not everyone appreciated the challenge. Quite frankly, snow in late April is quite hard to take, even for me, and as anyone who's seen my penguin presentations knows, I like it cold. For the most part, however folks took the event in stride. By tomorrow, the sun will (hopefully) be back and today's event will be just another story about living in the north.

Being resilient helps with more than coping with adverse unseasonable weather.  Positive Psychologist Shawn Achor identifies several strategies for dealing with life's challenges. Amongst them are ideas like: no matter how bad things are; always try to identify a positive outcome or a way to find an opportunity, even if it�s just to acknowledge that the challenge can be seen as an opportunity to grow. Find ways to keep motivated, even if it means getting motivation from different parts of one's life. Focus on what's within our control. We might not be in a position to decide what the outcome will be, or to have any control over the situation but at the very least we can choose our attitudes and reactions.

I'll admit, looking outside first thing in the morning to encounter a howling blizzard is not my preferred way to start the week. Seeing how well our people coped with the challenge, however was great. I feel fortunate to be working with and for such resilient and optimistic people.

How To Be Protected Within School Grounds

By Lan G Buoye


Brenna is deciding to purchase defense spray online and has asked me which sort to choose. My youngest sibling is going to college soon and was advised to arm herself with some type of personal defense. It seems even a short walk from the college library to the dorm can be dangerous sometimes.

Defense spray, being non-fatal, is preferred by college kids. And they feel much less bad about utilizing it because it will not result in irreversible harm. A burning sensation on the eyes and also skin, discomfort and also gagging are only momentary effects which wear off. Thus, my sister seems confident she can handle one of these tools.

Her pal, Shane, already had a tiny self defense spray and has made use of it one time with awesome results. She fumbled a little bit with the 4 oz. pepper spray but still hit the bad guy with a one-second burst to the face from three feet away. It is great, though, even coming from a length of 15 to 18 feet.

That little canister, she can conveniently hold in her hand or stuff inside her pocket for quick access in case she needs this. Shane is presently far more confident regarding utilizing her pepper spray.

Our brother residing in Los Angeles is a law enforcer. He carries pepper spray gel along with him. This is not the same as the normal liquid spray because gel sticks similar to glue towards the target. And the more they attempt to wipe it off, the more strong it becomes.

The pepper gel with flashlight which Burt utilizes consists of 10% oleoresin capsicum, making this doubly powerful. Burt once tested this 10 percent defense spray coming from a distance of 15 feet and he got the crook.

Brenna is inclined a lot more toward a 1/2 oz. defense spray with injection molded holster. First, this is a powerful self defense spray also with 10% OC content. Second, it emits a fine spray that is believed to be more effective compared to the normal self defense sprays utilizing coarser grains.

Burt promises to guide our own sister the moment she makes a decision to buy pepper spray on the Net so I am not worried in any way.

Roles Procurement Specialists In Texas Undertake

By Janelle Burnett


Every organization should find a way of ensuring that it achieves its objectives. This requires the use of the right resources otherwise it would be difficult to achieve such goals. The interaction of different organizational resources is very central in guaranteeing the right results are achieved. For instance, firms should hire personnel who are qualified to undertake certain dockets since this ensures the decisions made regarding allocation of resources in such areas is quite objective. For instance, procurement specialists in Texas are in high demand to help organizations achieve various goals. These experts perform a wide range of tasks in different firms. The task performed is highly dependent on the industry in which the employer operates.

Organizations should have a particular order when purchasing various goods and services. The responsibility the person in charge of purchasing is to check quotations of various potential suppliers and vet them according to a predetermined criteria after which they develop recommendations on who should be selected. This is meant to guarantee a firm that the right products will be supplied at favorable terms.

Different business departments have different needs at different occasions. For example, some might be requiring items used in production while some may require replacements of certain home appliances. This requires such people to find ways of meeting the needs of various departments through sourcing for whatever items they may need. Through coordination from various departments, these professionals ensure that all products are availed promptly.

Different suppliers of products have different terms for whatever items they sell to different clients. These may however sometimes be negotiable especially when buying goods in bulk. There should be experts whose role is analyzing the terms and negotiating on ways they can get a better deal on various issues like repair and maintenance of such products.

Organizations should find ways of ensuring that they enhance their supply chain management systems to guarantee smooth, efficient and prompt delivery of various items. This requires them to have professionals who can study the trends in their industry and guide them in adopting various systems.

This enables these organizations to do better given that they frequently lower their cost of operations while improving efficiency. However, the items they offer could be offered at lesser prices since they incur lesser product costs.

Firms should develop a concrete plan on what should be done when purchasing various products to avoid confusion on who is in charge. The development of such a plan should preferably be done by the person in charge of purchasing in close liaison with other departmental heads. This leads to better organizational performance since they do not waste time trying to come up with a new way of purchasing every time.

The roles undertaken by procurement specialists in Texas cannot be overlooked. They have helped many entities in competing effectively in crowded industries since product costs are among the determinants of how much an item would cost when processed. If you lower your costs during sourcing and purchasing, you can be sure of being able to beat competitors through cheaper products or higher profit margins.

Each and Every Child: Reflections on the Equity and Excellence Commission�s report (part 1)


On April 15, 2013 I attended the �Reframing Reform: Achieving Equity and Excellence in Public Education� summit in Chicago. It was an engaging event with attendees from various education sectors, including not-for-profit foundations, policy makers, education researchers, school board members, and community organizers. A primary focus was the Equity and Excellence Commission�s report to Arne Duncan, �For Each and Every Child: A Strategy for Education Equity and Excellence.� The report is broken into five sections summarizing major findings and recommendations. The topics are: 1) equitable school finance; 2) teachers, principals, and curricula; 3) early childhood education; 4) mitigating poverty�s effects; and 5) accountability and governance. In future posts I will comment on these specific areas.

Hosted by the Center for Tax and Budget Accountability (CTBA), this summit presented multiple perspectives on the role of education reform and its outcomes on equity and excellence. Additionally, the keynote speakers provided thought-provoking presentations on getting reform right. The first speaker, Pasi Sahlberg, an educator and policy advisor in Finland, has advised over 45 countries, the World Bank, European Commission, and OECD. His presentation focused on how Finland moved from an educationally low performing country in mid-20th century to one of the highest performing countries in the world on various international metrics. Unfortunately, the steps taken by Finland stand in stark contrast to the direction taken by recent reforms in the United States, such as No Child Left Behind and Race to the Top. The second keynote speaker, Congressman Mike Honda (D-California), presented the Equity and Excellence Commission�s report and pointed out that the Commission listed �equity� before �excellence,� an outcome the United States has not been able to achieve for many socioeconomically disadvantaged and minority students. As stated in the opening of the report:

This report summarizes how America�s K-12 education system, taken as a whole, fails our nation and too many of our children. Our system does not distribute opportunity equitably. Our leaders decry but tolerate disparities in student outcomes that are not only unfair, but socially and economically dangerous. (pg. 9)  

I concur that education in the United States is not equitable. We, as a nation, face a series of challenges and obstacles if we are to seriously pursue an excellent education for each and every child�perhaps the first of which is deciding how we define �excellent.�

School Planning: The Correct Way To Tip The College Scales Back In Your Favor

By Rachael Takase


When talking of the college game, the universities set all the rules. Let's come clean, when the colleges tell you what they are going to charge, how much they want you to pay and what, if any, help they are going to give you when referring to the bill, the scales are tipped in their favour.

Allow it to stay that way, and you are going to have a tough time when it comes to winning at the college game..

Therefore what can be done to tip the college scales back in your favor? Here are some suggestions:

Do not forget to be a "shopper". You want to recollect this: the college is attempting to get you to pay the most money; you are attempting to pay the least. So it'll cost you a lot to accept that your favourite school will show you how to get the maximum aid so you can attend. Just like when shopping for an auto you visit and work with a few dealerships, you need the same perspective with schools.

Don't rule a university out thanks to the price tag. Many families assume that the local state school will be there most cost-effective option and don't even look at a higher-priced non-public varsity because they think it's too expensive. And they might be making an expensive mistake by not even having a look at a college that might finish up, after all help is awarded, costing LESS.

Plan In Advance. The financial aid process really starts a year BEFORE you apply. Waiting until it's time to apply is too late to make any changes.

Keep on top of the procedure. Financial help does not just "happen". If all it took was to finish the forms, everyone would be getting all of the help they required - and that just simply does not happen.

Don't let frustration get the best of you. Too many families "quit" before they ever start. They get confused about it all; or don't have the resources to pay it correct attention; or, they start, think, "why trouble" and throw their hands up.

Your Smart Plan For College Assignment:

Take a second and be actually truthful with yourself and answer these questions:

- Have you figured out an accurate estimate of what the universities will need you to pay?

- Without regard for how much aid you do or do not get, what is your present plan to pay for college?

- Are you prepared for helping your student identify careers?

- Find colleges that have scholarships and aid for your student and your current position?

- What do you really think you have to do and say to get the varsities to assert yes? (hint: "get good grades and SAT scores" is not an answer - that is the absolute minimum)

- What are you actively doing at this time which will guarantee more impressive results?

If you are answering "I do not know" or "I haven't had time to think about that" or just realize you are not where you have to be when talking about your college plan,then it is time to consider investing in help.

Yes, getting help costs cash. But it is Nothing in comparison to the $20,000 up to $60,000 each year that college costs.

It may only be about a hundred bucks to get back on track or it may be tens of thousands as you need someone to continually hold your student's hand.

Do not be penny-wise and pound-foolish. Saving a few dollars today can cost you THOUSANDS more when the school bill arrives.

Jeanmarie Keller has helped many thousands of scholars get into schools they adore while ensuring their mum and dad save a fortune on the bill. Jeanmarie is the creator of the Smart Plan For Varsity System which teaches her client-families how it's possible to get noticed in the admissions office, get in at the varsities right for them and how to get the funds required to help pay the bill.

Unique Curriculum Aids French Students At NYC French School

By Penelope Bunce


Many parents who originally may come from France would like their children to receive proper language instruction so they will be at home in France. Other parents would like their children to become fluent becomes of the doors this can open Now the best French schools NYC has available are offering an improved curriculum which is intended to achieve just that.

For best results, the teacher should be fluent and trained in how to approach students who do not have the language as a mother tongue. This makes it easier to understand how to impart the finer points of a language, as the different cultural backgrounds is better understood. This makes it easier to help students become totally fluent in another language.

Part of the experience is the sharing of glories and traditions of France. The country is justly proud of her age-old heritage and is pleased to make it available to others. Understanding the culture also facilitates language learning, as it fosters understanding of the different ways of expressing concepts between languages.

At these schools conversation in this language is actively encouraged. This hands-on approach and cultural immersion has been found superior to alternatives. The atmosphere this provides has many of the benefits of life in that country in regard to learning a language.

Fun is also an important component of the whole learning activity. Children learn more easily and often without realizing it if they are enjoying themselves, while boredom causes a mental shutdown. This also means students will look forward to attending, as achievable goals imbue learners a sense of pride in their achievements.

No other school offers the advantages that these French schools NYC has within its precincts do. Attending one of these schools makes it possible to mingle with like-minded people and enjoying the culture helps create a joint learning experience. This environment is conducive to learning and developing tolerance for cultural differences.

Up Up and Away!

Friday I accepted the superintendent's position within my district. The congratulations and good wishes from colleagues, trustees, staff, parents, former students and people I didn't even know, was both gratifying and humbling. Its nice to know the board's decision was a popular one, and I will do my best to prove worthy of such support.

Now the real work begins. Not that I was wasn't working before, but as the Assistant Superintendent, and the Director of Instruction before that, there was always at least one more door I could bring questions to. Its a bit intimidating to think that that last door is now mine. Its not like there's about to be wholesale change. I did work as part of the outgoing superintendent's senior management team for over six years. I had a big part in creating the circumstances he's handing off, and that should help make the change over a little easier.

There will be differences though. The previous superintendent and I have our similarities but there are significant differences too! So the future will bring a combination of new and old. A guest column blog entry at The Ratrace Trap.com by Mario Taylor, entitled "You Have A Dream, So Now What?" summarizes this situation well. Everyone learns from those who've come before them. The key is to do the legwork  and "maven up". 

Valuing past learning needs to be combined with forward looking action. As identified by Sources of Insight, and other advisors for personal efficacy, fresh starts need to focus on opportunities and not getting bogged down in the enormity of the tasks at hand. An emphasis on valuing up the opportunity can help combat feelings of backlog burnout. To do lists are suddenly a bigger part of my life.

So onwards and upwards. The road ahead is daunting and the tasks varied and many, but exciting none the less. Paraphrasing Lucy Maud Montgomery's heroine, Anne Shirley only slightly, I can say "Before my future seemed to stretch out before me like a straight road. I thought I could see along it for many a milestone. Now there is a bend in it. I don't know what lies around the bend, but I'm going to believe that the best does!"  Bringing out the best in people is really what education strives for. Our district's motto is "Together We Learn".  I'm certain there are going to be lots of learning opportunities ahead for everyone. 

Unique Italian Curriculum Aides In Teaching Children Italian Language

By Jomer Tuyor


Although it may be possible for any person to learn a new language, it is often easiest for kids. This means that parents should give their child the opportunity to learn such languages early in life, sometimes even before starting school. Using Italian Classes NYC children overcome some of the barrier to learning new languages often faced by adults.

Many adults have heard and believe that one must be highly intelligent to learn a new language. While intelligence is helpful, as are knowing efficient learning strategies, the process of exposing a person to the language is far more important than one's intelligence. Parents can provide the help children need by enrolling them in a classroom experience and by providing audio visual tools for use on the computer at home.

Linguistics teaches that language begins with the silent period. Babies learn to produce sounds by hearing and parroting the sounds used to communicate. In a similar way, allowing children to hear a language can help them to learn both vocabulary and structures to see the patterns needed.

Some adults have difficulty in learning a new language simply because they are no longer curious. They may have developed prejudices against the people who use a language that makes learning it difficult. However, children remain curious and often do not have the same prejudices of adults, making learning easier.

Adults also tend to be more rigid in their thinking, which can reduce their tolerance of ambiguity. They do not like the exceptions to the rule. Introducing children to a language helps them to develop a native like fluency that eliminates much of the ambiguity.

When children are enrolled in Italian classes NYC parents can watch them develop important life skills. They learn more that the vocabulary of a new language. The individuals develops appreciation for others. Additionally, they exercise their critical thinking skills to ensure greater success in life.

A Check On Business Financial Affairs And Educational Possibilities

By Paula Esquivel


To be successful in economics education, you should have high grades in mathematics and the innate ability to memorize and comprehend philosophical theories. Those with quantitative skills, critical thinking skills and a passion for statistics will do well in the economics research industry.

Many a large business check economic indicators and engage in cursory economic analysis and depend on economic forecasts for long range economic planning. Having an eye on the future is essential for the survival of any business.

As such, an economist may create plans to help local government officials or corporations implement plans, or are involved with business checks on capital transfers, monetary policies or global trade issues. Sometimes economists manage staff, employ individuals or assign tasks. Economists may even be called to testify at legislative hearings or regulatory commissions, where their educated opinion is valued. In essence, the academic journey of someone pursing an economics education is full of hard work and tough courses, but with salaries averaging between $50,000 and $200,000, it's ultimately rewarding.

Other jobs for students pursuing economics education at the bachelor's level may include Financial Research Analysts ($85,500), who gather information and determine how a company or individual should spend their money to maximize profits, or Underwriters ($63,200), who assesses new clients for potential risk and insurance liability. Management Consultants ($124,000) provide advice on the strategy, structure and operations of an organization to provide added value and improve performance. Construction Project Managers ($86,000) plan, direct, coordinate and budget the completion of infrastructure projects. Credit Analysts ($46,700) determine the creditworthiness of prospective borrowers. Banking Branch Managers ($58,500) ensure branch profitability goals are met and manage losses. Regional Sales Managers ($104,000) forecast, review inventory, travel, recruit, train and ensure that growth goals are met. These are just a few of the positions that can be secured with just a bachelor's Degree in education economics, although obtaining higher degrees will make an individual more competitive.

The best advice former economics education students can give is "take more mathematics courses." Econometrics courses are the heart and soul of this major, so do not skip over it. "You can pick up the economics as you go along," says one graduate, "but you can't learn the math and still keep up." Learning differential equations, real analysis, advanced calculus and statistics are the key to your success in the higher levels. Attending seminars and pursuing internships outside your economics college will come in handy too, students say.

Real-world experience is the best way to find direction with your new economics degree. Professors encourage students to read as many economics books, order newspaper articles and magazine spreads as you can.

The Economist, Investment Business Daily, Barron's and the Wall Street Journal are must read resources for budding and seasoned economists.

Things You Should Consider While Buying A Spill Containment Berm

By Patty Summers


If one is dealing with liquid or foam chemicals, the chance of a spillage occurring is always high thus the need to make plans to contain it. This is important not just in prevention of losses but also to preempt chances of such chemicals reaching the ground and water bodies where they can be harmful. There are different ways that can be applied to help contain spillage but using a spill containment berm is one of the best options.

Even with the good reputation of the containment berm, one should be careful when buying one in the market. To get good results, it is important to match the container chosen to the purpose it is going to be used for. Remember, these containers will not just serve in containing the chemicals but can also be used to transport the collected chemicals. Knowing the specific use will help you select the correct container to match that purpose.

The containers are available in different sizes and designs. Again, you have to consider the use in order to pick the right design or size. If you plan to move the containers once they are filled with chemicals, you should be very careful about these two aspects. Otherwise, you might be unable to load the containers into the transport means you will be using.

The material used to make the container must also be investigated. This is because some of the components might react with the chemicals that will be transported in that container. You should therefore pick a container with components that will not be affected.

To make the final decision, check whether any regulations regarding the use of a certain material exist in your area. This is important even if one knows all about the containers used to contain spillage. This is because such regulations are meant to prevent environmental degradation and any violations are met with stiff penalties.

Since there are different manufacturers dealing in these containers, the prices also differ. Prices also differ according to the kind of material used in making the container. An interesting thing to note is that most of the containers can be used for more than one instance. Therefore, in case you might want to reuse the container again, it is best to go for the best.

Just like other purchases, it is good to have a budget before you do to the market. This can help you stay within your spending limits even when interested in the best quality containers. Your budget can be based on different issues including the value of the chemicals you need to contain.

With all the highlighted information when going to purchase a spill containment berm, it is possible to make a great choice. With such a container, it will be possible to prevent harmful chemicals from reaching unintended areas such as water sources. It will also be easier to transport them from place to place. Remember, people also lose a lot of money through spillage thus having proper containment methods in place will help prevent such loses.

Study Skills - Understanding Why You Procrastinate

By Lachlan Haynes


What do the following words mean to you: "I'll do it tomorrow"? If you are a procrastinator they will mean a great deal. If you are not they may mean nothing. So which are you? Are you the type of person that allows due dates to creep up and tap you on the shoulder? Or do you get your work done nice and early to eliminate all worry and panic? (Congratulations if you do!)

The fascinating and somewhat disturbing news is that when it comes to procrastinating you are not alone. One of the biggest reasons people do not achieve their goals (and then feel unhappy about it) is because they are chronic procrastinators. It has been reported that 94% of people are putting something off and it is making them feel unhappy - that's right 94%! If you're a procrastinator you are truly not alone. In fact, you're totally normal! However the good news ends there. Students that procrastinate are more likely to achieve lower subject grades, lower exam scores and lower overall grades. Worse still, procrastination is strongly linked to poor health and less money. That's right, procrastinators have less money. Amazing isn't it? But we're not trying to make you feel bad because you might be poor and unhealthy. We're just trying to help you early in your life by making you aware of it now.

Do You See The Problem?

Tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes and you just keep thinking, "Well maybe tomorrow I will do the work!" One day makes no difference anyway does it? Each day you face the same dilemma and each day you make a decision that tomorrow is the best option.

We're not here to tell you that these excuses are necessarily complete untruths but if these phrases are familiar to you then you might just be a serial procrastinator. You probably tend to spend a lot of time convincing yourself of these lies and ultimately you will most likely believe them to be totally true. The major problem with this approach is that it will ultimately bring no long-term satisfaction to you at all. In the short term you are off the hook but the list of tasks you need to complete gets very long and you start feeling very unhappy. Sound familiar? If you do tell yourself these things, stop it immediately! You are just lying to yourself. Stop the lies and accept the truth. Find the real reason for your procrastination.

Get Out Of Your Own Way

First of all, don't beat yourself up, you're human after all. We're flawed. That's life. If we weren't you wouldn't be reading this. Everything will be OK! We promise. In fact, most people are just like you - so you are actually 'normal' (if there is such a thing). So please drop any guilt you may feel about it right now because it really won't help you - it will only make you feel sorry for yourself. And feeling sorry for yourself is not the way to deal with procrastination.

When you next notice that you are procrastinating ask yourself the following questions: 1. Am I bored, or do I really want some drama and excitement in my life? 2. If so, what can I do about it? Can I do something differently to create excitement? 3. What about procrastination is desirable to me? 4. Is there any way I can create the same desirable outcome without procrastinating? The more you challenge yourself the sooner you will be able to overcome procrastination get to work!

State Policy and College-Level Courses in High School


In the past couple decades, the number of high school students participating in college-level courses has increased drastically. A new NCES studyestimates this number to be 2.0 million students in 2010-2011, an increase from 1.2 million students in 2003-2004 (an increase of 66.6%). The same study estimates that 82% of high schools have students participating in college-level courses, often referred to as dual credit, dual enrollment, or concurrent enrollment (I use the term dual credit for consistency).

The proliferation of dual credit translates into more students participating in college and earning college credits before they graduate high school. As dual credit offerings have expanded, questions have been raised related to dual credit quality, the extent to which a larger pool of students is adequately prepared for college courses in high school, and the extent to which dual credit courses are of college rigor. In many instances, high school faculty members, who often serve as adjunct college faculty, teach dual credit courses on high school campuses. There is a lot to unpack with dual credit, but I want to focus on the relationship between dual credit and state policy.

With colleagues from Indiana University and Lake Land College, I just completed a review of dual credit state policies commissioned by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC). Our purpose was to examine state policies in all 50 states and better understand the relationship between state policy and quality. The report, which is publically available on the HLC website, is being digested and considered by the HLC for future action.

One issue surfaced by our study is the tension between �quality� and �access,� both of which state policies address in various ways across states. Although the purpose of our study was not to examine this tension, our descriptive results lend themselves well to future analysis of this tension. For example, we found that nine states have state policies that either require or encourage dual credit programs to adhere to the quality standards of the voluntary accreditation organization, the National Association for Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships (NACEP). Several other states have quality-related policies such as Illinois (Illinois� policy is the �Dual Credit Quality Act�) or Indianaand Tennessee (Chapter 15, Section 49-15-101), whose policies have many state-level provisions focused on quality standards. So there is very clearly a sector of state policies whose purpose is focused on quality.

At the other end of the spectrum are policies that emphasize access to college courses in high schools. We found that the preponderance of state policies had established policies about which students are eligible to participate in dual credit. These policies often restricted access based on limiting dual credit participation to students in certain grade levels, students with adequate standardized test scores, or students with appropriate course-prerequisites. However, nearly half of the state policies have eligibility waivers (e.g., Kentuckyand Missouri) where student certain eligibility requirements can be waived for students as determined by the college faculty or Chief Academic Officer, for example. In some states where students are required to pay tuition, however, state policies provide financial assistance to low-income students (e.g., Connecticutand Indiana). So state policies appear to have different approaches to dual credit access, restricting access for some students based on academic ability and ability to pay, while also providing flexibility in some cases.

The is accumulating evidence about the impact of dual credit (for example, see here, here, and here), suggesting that dual credit participation is related to desirable outcomes such as college enrollment, college persistence, and to a lesser extent, college completion. One missing strand of research, however, is the extent to which state policies related to quality and access influence both which students participate and the outcomes of these students. Although we have observed state dual credit policies expand in the last decade (compared to a 2005 study), including an increased emphasis on promoting quality, there is little evidence about the extent to which specific state policies contribute to student success, increase college access, or even improve student learning. It is this area that is desperately needed for future research to inform our public policies so they work in the best interest of students.

The Most Strange News Articles

By Camille Nicholson


There are very strange news articles all around the world. Anyone can pick up a tabloid reader and see that the whole globe is filled with very bizarre cases. Many of these stories are true but some are merely fairy tales.

In a very far away land there is a baby who enjoys having a smoke once in a blue moon. This little tyke will use all of his allowance in order to purchase cigarettes. His parents have no problem with him doing this since they are always around when he lights up.

Sometimes he will have several packs of these cancer sticks during a twenty four hour period. He is also very greedy and can eat enough food for ten people during a day. This baby will no doubt have lung problems as well as heart issues at a very early age.

Individuals who love a good scare will want to go looking for the gigantic squid near Coney Island. This story may or may not be true but people are still believing it anyway. They have now become very terrified to swim so far into the ocean.

A religious family in Georgia are trying their best to hold onto their faith. Unfortunately they have the bad luck to be living in a very haunted house. The ghosts are three men who appear to have lived during the Civil War. They display very human emotions even though their time in life is finished. These men also appear in solid form and the press was very astonished by this event.

What makes this haunting so unique is that the spirits also have the ability to hide items that the residents own. The lady in the house stated that one of the ghosts took her car keys and hid them in the backyard. The keys were located several days later.

One other very frightening story came out of Canada. Years ago there was a very sick man who took an axe and butchered his entire family. The crazy male had come home one night to find his wife having sex with her father while his mother-in-law watched. Reporters state that he was arrested and hung for his crime. The people who lived in his section did not want him buried on their land since he vowed revenge on every living human being before he was hung.

This is one of the most strange news articles since many people have stated that his evil spirit still walks the land at night. This particular haunting has become so bad that authorities do not allow anyone to camp on the land that is near his grave. The media has since shown warnings signs that are placed in certain areas of the woods. At night some campers informed others that they could hear demonic screams and an axe chopping up various items. People have been also known to disappear when they enter this certain area of the woods and officials have also found many animals with their heads chopped off.

Transitions: Dealing With Seasons of Change

Last month our superintendent retired. The timing of his announcement caught many within our organization by surprise. Expressions of congratulations on a great career and excitement for the opportunities that lie ahead for him poured into the district office. And then? Then came the realization that things were about to change.  A period of transition has been thrust upon us.

Transitions can be both interesting and challenging. There is a subtle but important difference between change and transition. Change is situational; it can be an event: something that happens. Transitions are  psychological. A transition evolves out of how one feels about and reacts to a change. It's not the just the event alone that causes the transition; it's the inner-reorientation and meaning-redefinitions people make as they incorporate those changes into their lives.  Paradoxically education is a field where change and transition seem almost constant. Having effective strategies to deal with transitions is a valuable 21st century skill.

Colorado State University authors S. Quick, R.J. Fetsch and M. Rupured offer many strategies for coping with transitions. One strategy that resonates with me is taking a seasons approach to transitions, likening different types of response to fall, winter and spring. Fall transitions break old patterns. They involve saying farewell to familiar people, places and routines. Transitions that evoke winter bring feelings of emptiness, numbness, and confusion. Such transitions occurs when people haven't yet connected to new situations and aren't yet completely disconnected from the past. Springlike transitions require the letting go of the old relationships, situations or events and starting anew. Just as spring leaves bud and flowers bloom, in a spring transition, people find new energy to make a new beginning. (For a more in depth look at this analogy see William Bridges book Transitions: Making Sense of Life's Changes)

Research suggests resilient people handle transitions better. Building resilience involves maintaining an optimistic outlook, taking steps to positively influence the things one can control and having the wisdom and confidence not to worry or fixate on the things over which one has no control. Developing a good network of friends both at work and away from the office always helps one navigate the choppy periods of uncertainty that accompany transitions. One should also look after their health and well being by getting enough sleep and exercise. 

Its important to remember that transitions. no matter how challenging, don't last forever. Just like the seasons, transitions do pass. To paraphrase Shakespeare's Richard III there may be no guarantees that our winters of discontent will be made glorious summer, but through awareness and positive response our stern alarums may be changed to merry meetings and our dreadful marches to delightful measures. Recognizing a transition for what it is and moving forward with resilience and a positive attitude can dispel or lessen feelings of anxiety and uncertainty and help us welcome a new season of change.

Exactly How to Get Yourself a Scholarship

By Walter Bradley


Getting a scholarship is an extensive and complicated process. Scholarships are offered by various schools, private organizations, publicly traded corporations and certain institutes. There are many state and federally funded scholarships as well. While there are hundreds of partial scholarships to choose from, many organizations and schools also offer full scholarships. With full scholarships, students do not have to bear any part of the total educational expense. With scholarships, higher education can become an affordable option which otherwise is certainly not very cost effective, especially if you look at the top schools and universities.

The difficulty of getting a scholarship depends on what form of scholarship you intend to apply for. For instance, there is a Coca Cola scholarship that is run by the business yearly. Generally, around two hundred and fifty students each year tend to be provided with scholarships, 50 of them get $20,000 each while two hundred other individuals get $10,000 each. There tend to be numerous types of Coca Cola scholarships in addition to those from other companies and schools.

Because there are countless students graduating high school and also from college annually, trying to get yourself a scholarship is not easy. There's a massive demand for excellent students who've consistently have an above average GPA. Further skills such as being actively involved in sports as well as some other co curricular activities also play an important role in identifying the appealing candidates. Scholarships just like the Coca Cola scholarship tend to be provided to simply a handful of individuals and thus the selection criteria are extremely strict. You would need to supply substantial personal information, academic information along with particular test scores depending on the scholarship specifications.

All scholarships do not have the same type of criteria and they also have different preferences of desirable students. If you wish to apply for Coca Cola scholarship then you should refer to the company policies that clearly lay out everything about the candidates who qualify and the details that have to be furnished and have specific system of short listing the winners.

In the event that you intend to fill out an application for scholarships of particular schools, state as well as federally funded scholarships then you would have to pick the particular ones that you are thinking about and then stick to their own application requisites and also follow up with all transcripts, evidence of academic credentials and biographical information. Aside from general scholarships, there are particular ones as well which have to do with sporting activities, vocational training or perhaps certain courses.

Challenge, Crisis and Opportunity


Finding opportunity in a challenge is often easier said than done. Challenges left unattended have a way of growing into crises, real or imagined. Last week our family experienced a small scale domestic crisis first hand. Hours before I was due to leave on a trip, my son discovered a puddle in the middle of his basement bedroom. Closer examination revealed the challenge was a  bathroom pipe that had been leaking  through the wall and under his carpet for some time. In the past this situation might have set our whole family into a tailspin, but not this time. Once we'd shut off the water,  removed the sopping carpet and called the plumber the worst was over. While I was away, other family members collaborated on solutions. By the time I returned, plumbing repairs were complete and a re-modelling plan had begun to take shape. My son and I now have an opportunity to build something better together together.

Finding opportunity in crisis has a long history as a business strategy.  Forbes Magazine succinctly summarizes the traditional view that crisis can be leveraged to get more from people within an organization. The idea that a crisis can help managers find inner strengths and new levels of productivity in their employees has some validity, but seems cold and and a bit manipulative.  Bruce Evan Goldstein's book Collaborative Resilience takes a different tack, presenting a series of essays that describe how groups and organizations have pulled together to cope and come back stronger from real life altering crises.

The wave of change coming through public education may still be more of a challenge than a crisis, but just like our plumbing issue, it does have potential for setting people and districts into a tizzy. Calm and resilient response, that generates clear and collaborative solutions that value all stakeholders is the best way forward. Keeping education engaging, effective and  relevant in the face of rapid change and ever tightening resources isn't easy. Simply exploiting a challenge by driving people to work harder only burns them out or feeds a sense of crisis and impending doom. Recognizing a need for change and redesigning systems, or effecting solutions that leave things better than we found them, takes the sting out of challenges and turn them into a real opportunities.
