The CodeDOMinator beta version 1 has been released.
What is the CodeDOMinator? CodeDOMinator is a suite of tools based on
Microsoft's .NET and CodeDOM technology. Included in the beta release will be
the CodeDOMinator Library, CodeDOMViewer, and an application generator
Prerequisites: You will need to download the redistributable .NET Framework
version 1.1 and the .NET Framework SDK version 1.1. Gecko is a developer's tool
and requires all of the assemblies that any managed application will need, and
uses SDK tools like xsd.exe to generate strongly typed datasets.
Gecko is an application generator that reads a database schema that you select
and generates a strongly typed XML schema (XSD) dataset for each table in the
database, and from each typed dataset generates a Windows Form that permits you
to update, insert, edit, and delete records in each dataset. The typed datasets
and Windows Forms are dynamically generated and stored as .NET assemblies and
fully incorporated into your application. You can deploy each application or
use the complete generated source code to customize the Forms.
Gecko is a complete application that includes typed datasets, Windows Forms,
menus, shortcuts, database operations and basic reporting capabilities. (Coming
soon are applications for ASP.NET applications and XML Web Services.)
The CodeDOMinator Library builds on the .NET CodeDOM and adds higher level
constructs that output methods, classes, types, Forms, and much more,
permitting you to more quickly assembly advanced code generators. The
CodeDOMinator Library contains thousands of lines of code that generate Access
Modifiers, Arguments, AssemblyInfo files, BinaryOperations, Compiler
instructions, Constructors, Controls, DataForms, typed DataSets, Fields, Forms,
Methods, Namespaces, Properties, References, Statements, Indexed Operations,
CodeDOMViewer is a utility for experimenting with the .NET CodeDOM and our
CodeDOMinator library. The .NET CodeDOM has basic capabilities for generating
basic code constructs. Simply type in or cut and a paste your CodeDOM code and
the CodeDOMViewer will compile the code and show you what the generated code
will look like. It takes the guesswork out of writing code generators.

Patriotism As If Our Constitution Matters
You have probably thought about what you will do if the FBI comes to your library and requests your circulation records for the last few months. And you've no doubt thought about your web logs that keep track of every click a user makes. It all gets down to individual action or inaction. Is it OK to relinquish a principle if you might save one, or even hundreds, of innocent people? What if by releasing the reading habits of one of the 9/11 hijackers you could have prevented the horror? If you knew what was at stake, you would have. But it is probably never that clear a decision. This July 4th, did you think about what it is about America that makes you a patriot? If you're like me, it is that in this country you can say what you think, vote for whom you want, and read whatever you please. All without the government looking over your shoulder--at least until now. The Patriot Act The USA PATRIOT Act (Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required To Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism) cannot be quickly summarized, but the American Library Association (ALA) provides useful web sites on the law. Mary Minow's article "Library Records Post-Patriot Act" offers a valuable table summary. There are several crucial things the law specifically allows federal law enforcement to do to protect us from terrorists. As ALA Councilor and military veteran Karen Schneider says, "Under the Patriot Act, entire databases of library patron records can be taken by the FBI. There is no accountability, and the proceedings are all sealed...any court order issued under Section 215 of the Patriot Act prevents the recipient from saying anything to anyone other than the library's own legal counsel or the handful of staff required to retrieve the files requested by the court order." Signs of resistance Some libraries have found innovative ways to resist. As reported in "Librarians Try To Alter Patriot Act," the Santa Cruz Public Library, CA, posted signs stating that federal officials could seize information about book borrowing. Anyone wishing to complain is directed to U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft. Director Anne Turner also found a subtle way around the gag order. "At each board meeting, I tell them we have not been served by any [search warrants]," Turner says. "In any months that I don't tell them that, they'll know." At the last Midwinter Meeting, ALA Council passed a resolution urging "librarians everywhere to defend and support user privacy and free and open access to knowledge and information." The resolution goes on to say "that sections of the USA PATRIOT ACT are a present danger to the constitutional rights and privacy rights of library users." Not a direct call for civil disobedience, but draw your own conclusions. Digital diligence We face particular problems with our public services delivered via web servers. Every time patrons click a link on our web site, their Internet address is recorded along with what they looked at. More insidiously, our web catalog systems often record this same information as well as the search terms used. Digital libraries, in other words, can be wonderful supports for spying. Many libraries are working to either purge such files or "anonymize" them by replacing the numeric Internet address, which can be traced to a particular machine, with an arbitrary value. The best thing would be to alter your web logging so that individual IP addresses are not recorded at all. If you need to know where your users come from, you should "wash" your logs of numeric IP addresses that could be traced to an individual. One way to do this is with a script that changes an IP address to something like "stanford.edu.user1." For more information, see the web site Web Log Washing. Hope and despair In March, Rep. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) introduced the Freedom To Read Protection Act, which would reinstate the legal standards for libraries and bookstores that existed prior to the Patriot Act. The Senate's Library and Bookseller Protection Act has similar aims. Meanwhile, the Bush administration is preparing USA PATRIOT Act II. The fight is far from over. If you are visited by the FBI, I hope you know exactly what you will do and why you will do it. Meanwhile, there are things you can do to decrease the exposure of your users to searches and seizures. Keep only what you're willing to give up. Destroy everything else. __________________________________________________________________ Link List ALA Office of Intellectual Freedom Patriot Act Site www.ala.org/alaorg/ oif/usapatriotact.html ALA Resolution on the Patriot ACT tinyurl.com/98zb ALA Washington Office Patriot Act site www.ala.org/espy Librarians Try To Alter Patriot Act www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/ article.cgi?file=/c/a/2003/03/10/ LIBRARIES.TMP Minow, Mary: Library Records Post Patriot Act www.llrx.com/features/ libraryrecords.htm USA PATRIOT Act www.eff.org/Privacy/Surveillance/ Terrorism_militias/20011025 _hr3162_usa_patriot_bill.html Web Log Washing sunsite.berkeley.edu/Web4Lib/ RefCenter/logwashing.html


What ELT books influenced you most as a teacher?
ELT News Japan, 2005
The books that influenced you as a teacher betray your age, because surely some of the most influential ones must come early on. I’ve restricted it to ELT books (textbooks, applied linguistics, teacher training, grammar, dictionaries etc). So here are my five choices.
1) Julian Dakin ‘The Language Laboratory & Language Learning’ (Longman 1973) Out-of-print.
I just started looking through my bookshelves to get the information, and this has now attained legendary status, because I haven’t even got a copy. (Make note: NEVER lend books … either give them away or offer to buy copies for people, but loaning is the same as disposing of). So its contents grow in my mind like the songs on an album you remember from your youth, but have never been able to find a copy of.
First of all, it hasn’t got much to do with language laboratories. Labs were universally popular at the time of publication and he does look at the techniques for various types of oral exercise. What fascinated me most was the invented language he uses as examples of exercise types, Novish. The reader has to work out the rules of Novish from the direct method exercises and every rule is based on a real rule in one language or another. You can try out an exercise in Novish by following this link:
What the book did most was make me think about English grammar from the learner’s point of view. However, I can’t say I’ve looked at it regularly because I hadn’t noticed its loss!
2) Robert O’Neill, English in Situations (Oxford University Press, 1968)
My agenda becomes apparent. I believe that textbooks have had vastly more influence on what happens in the classroom than applied linguistics books, because they are the filter through which teachers get the new ideas. Headway has had more influence on what happens on a daily basis than Krashen. O’Neill’s English in Situations lasted around 35 years, but seems to be out of print now. It had no illustrations. It was in three sections and presented problem areas of grammar in neat contrastive pairs at different levels. It was an ideal stand-by because whenever a question came up in class you could find a short, clever contextualization with a careful set of questions that led students to the contrast. English in Situations set a whole approach and its strong influences can be seen in the selection and ordering of structures in a wide range of current intermediate textbooks.
On the negative side, it tended to avoid those areas of grammar which did not contrast neatly, and that’s something which has continued. It emphasized the teachable over everything else. Teachability is a criterion for selection that you can get away with at the middle levels, but which leaves dangerous gaps lower down, and is irrelevant higher up. For example, I maintain that most coursebooks devote far more space to comparatives than they’re worth communicatively, because they’re easy to teach and codify and students give a satisfying “Ah!” after explanations.
3) L.G. Alexander, First Things First, Teacher’s Book (Longman, 1967)
It was already looking old when I started teaching, and at first I hated this book. But the teacher’s book introduction and interleaved notes were highly influential. It wasn’t the first interleaved teacher’s book (I think that was Realistic English, OUP, which was also spiral bound, which First Things First wasn’t.) The notes and summaries were very basic and were unashamedly dull, but for a novice teacher they provided a get up and do it possibility. The introduction was a compact mini training course. The student book was never a favourite (awful illustration, wooden recordings), but the very short illustrated dialogues put the onus on the teacher and the teacher’s book to provide an active lesson using the student book as a springboard. You didn’t just plow through a range of activities on the page, YOU the teacher provided them from the teacher’s book, which the students hadn’t seen, so it kept the lesson lively and active. You never had to say ‘Turn to Module 4, Section A, Listening, Exercise 4, Part 2.’ either. As for the student book, Alexander had analyzed structural progression for beginners, with only one new structural item per lesson, more thoroughly than anyone else. He was not a great contextualizer but he was a superb analyst. Later, Louis Alexander worked with W. Stannard-Allen and R.A. Close and Robert O’Neill to produce English Grammatical Structure (Longman, 1975), a reference book which broke the language into six stages, with thirty logical steps within each stage, complete with a lexicon for each stage. It was a course designer’s dream and it made no attempt at frequency or usefulness, just a bare bones structural index. The course designer had to rework it in terms of function, vocabulary and usefulness, but at least one major task had been done.
4) Michael Lewis, The English Verb (LTP, 1986)
Michael Lewis is best known for The Lexical Approach (LTP, 1993), but this earlier volume is equally essential, if less well-known. Michael Lewis rethinks the structure and meaning of the verb system, and comes up with novel and fascinating practical ‘rules’. For example, he defines the use of some and any more accurately than any of the grammar books I have on my shelves. He can write too, which makes a change.
5) Jennifer Jenkins, The Phonology of English as an International Language (Oxford University Press, 2000)
If The Lexical Approach was the most read and quoted book of the 1990s, I’d like to think that Jennifer Jenkins will be the most influential of the 2000s, in spite of a less than catchy title, and that mutual intelligibility will follow on from collocation as the buzz word. This is one you have to read. I’ve had unease about nit-picking pronunciation points based on native speaker examples for years and I found myself nodding in agreement again and again. Negative point – far too many initials – IL, ILT, NS, NNS, MDH, DL1, SABE which could have been replaced with words by doing a search and change and adding ten pages or so.

From Kandinsky to Nolde. Two Collectors in Dialog. The Braglia & Johenning Collections
The book accompanying the exhibition of the same name at the Fondazione Braglia in Lugano brings together 70 outstanding works from both collections with a focus on German art from the beginning of the 20th century. The idea to unite both collections in one exhibition emerged from close collaboration with Michael Beck and is an expression of the friendly relations with and between the collector couples Gabriele and Anna Braglia and Friedrich and Renate Johenning.
With more than sixty paintings and works on paper by representatives of the artist group Die Brücke (Emil Nolde, Erich Heckel, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Otto Mueller, and Hermann Max Pechstein), the group Der Blaue Reiter (Heinrich Campendonk, Alexei von Jawlensky, Wassily Kandinsky, August Macke, Franz Marc, Gabriele Münter, and Marianne von Werefkin) and the Bauhaus (Lyonel Feininger, Paul Klee) the exhibition gives an impressively comprehensive overview of the developments in modern German art. An interview with Gabriel Braglia and Friedrich Johenning, conducted for the exhibition, provides a fascinating insight into each collections’ »passions« and at the same time draws a sensitive portrait of both collectors and their wives.
Artists: Heinrich Campendonk, Lyonel Feininger, Alexej von Jawlensky, Erich Heckel, Wassily Kandinsky, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Paul Klee, Emil Nolde, August Macke, Franz Marc, Otto Mueller, Gabriele Münter, Hermann Max Pechstein, Marianne von Werefkin

The book and subsequent screen adaptions of Moby Dick give an important message to all fisherman. The main moral of the tale is that revenge will always be a deadly affair. One of the main characters is Captain Ahab.
He has lost his leg to a white whale when the creature bit it off at the knee. Since then, Ahab has become obsessed with hunting down the whale. The story is from the perspective of Ishmael, a young sailor. He works on Ahab’s ship, Pequod, which is designed specifically for whaling.
As the name suggests, whaling is the practice of fishing for whales. The main purpose of this is to attain commercial products from the animal, such as blubber and meat. During the time of Moby Dick, whaling was essential to the industrial world. Whale oil was used to light homes.
However, in the novel Ahab is more interested in killing Moby Dick, the white whale than attaining oil. He tries a number of times to harpoon it. On each occasion his rowing boats are destroyed by the creature.
Ahab sacrifices some of his own crew in his pursuit of the whale. He vows to kill it even if he has to travel across the globe to do so. His revenge quest becomes an obsession that threatens everyone on board.
In their final attempt to hunt down Moby Dick, Ahab manages to hit a harpoon into its flank. However, the whale destroys their rowing boat in response. This tosses the men into the sea. Ishmael is the only one who fails to make it back to their ship. This ends up saving his life.
The whale unleashes its fury upon the Pequod, completely destroying it. Ahab sees this as a chance to once again harpoon the whale. He manages to land a direct hit. However, he is entangled in the line. The rope ends up tying around his neck like a noose.
The whale drags Ahab out to sea and to his death. Every man on board is also lost. Ishmael manages to be rescued while floating in open water a day later. This story shows us that when fishing it is important to known when to let go of a worthy catch.

I love this book – especially for beginner and intermediate users of Windows 7. If you can only buy one book, you should buy this one. Pros Lots of colorful pictures and white space Well written and organized Offers reader a wide breath of insight Good glossary, TOC and Index 45 day free access to Online edition Cons Some pictures with detail might have been larger Explanations may be too short for some people Description Chapters 1 and 2 – What’s New and Getting Started with Windows 7 Chapters 3 and 4 – Using the Desktop, Working with Folders Chapters 5 and 6 – Working with Files, Printing Chapters 7 and 8 – Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center Chapters 9 and 10 – Gaming, Browsing the Internet Chapters 11 and 12 – Personalizing Windows 7, System Maintenance and Performance Chapters 13 and 14 – User Accounts and System Security, Setting Up Programs Chapter 15 and 16 – Windows Accessories, Networking Your Home Chapter 17 – Using Windows Live Essentials Guide Review – Book Review: Easy Microsoft Windows 7 by Mark Soper Easy MS Windows 7 (Retail priced at $21.99) lives up to its name. It follows the best of technical writing principles (of the look, read, do genre) by using lots of color pictures and white space with thoughtful, brief text. Not only does this book tell readers how to do things, it tells them how to do many, many things and approaches difficult subjects like setting up a home network without scaring the heck out of readers – what a concept. Explanations in the book are brief – it is not the type of book that will have all the answers and take many pages to explain something. If you want that kind of book, you might try a different one. Also, some pictures could have been larger maybe the next edition will address that feature. Windows and computers have a lot of acronyms that’s why I like the included glossary. It provides an easy explanation of the latest terms. Also, note that the Table of Contents and Index are accurate. I would use this book as a how to guide and fill in any missing information using the Windows Help provided by Microsoft (Start button, Help and Support). No book addresses everything this one addresses most of the things you’ll do with a Windows PC.

Reading enriches knowledge and emotions. This is why the Embassy launches the project “Take a book, bring a book”, a bookcrossing initiative for the circulation and dissemination of books.
“Take a book, bring a book” is a project that links the passion for reading and books to the passion for sharing resources and knowledge. In the waiting room of the consular section you will find a table where everyone can freely take books and leave books, in Italian, English, Norwegian or other languages. The initiative aims at stimulating interest for reading and at involving our users in bookcrossing.
Get involved and spread this system yourself starting from our small free library taking a book that you like and leaving another one in its place.
Enjoy the reading!

banyak sekali Buku Kedokteran yang beredar di dunia. Semuanya memiliki ilmu dan kelebihan masing-masing. Seperti Buku Kedokteran bidang anatomi berikut ini. Bisa anda simak barangkali anda memerlukan buku yang kami sampaikan pada kesempatan kali ini.
Gray’s Anatomy e-dition: The Anatomical Basis of Clinical Practice
Publisher: Churchill Livingstone Number Of Pages: 1600 Publication Date: 2004-12ISBN / ASIN: 0443066760 EAN: 9780443066764 Binding: Hardcover Manufacturer: Churchill Livingstone Studio: Churchill Livingstone
Not since it first published in 1858 has Gray’s Anatomy introduced so much innovation to the world of anatomical references. A team of renowned clinicians, anatomists, and basic scientists have radically transformed this classic resource to incorporate all of the newest anatomical knowledge reorganized it by body region to parallel clinical practice and added many new surface anatomy, radiologic anatomy, and microanatomy images to complement the exquisite artwork that the book is known for.
In addition, a new, multimedia package enables users to consult the printed book. Access a dynamic, continuously updated web site or explore a CD-ROM containing all of the book’s images plus 9 fully rotatable, strippable anatomical models. Although there are now many books called “Gray’s Anatomy,” only this 39th Edition carries on the true lineage of the original text. And, only this 39th Edition delivers so much pragmatic, clinically indispensable information. The result is, once again, the world’s definitive source on human anatomy.
Pocket Atlas of Human Anatomy By Heinz Feneis
Publisher: Georg Thieme Verlag Number Of Pages: 500Publication Date: 2000-01 ISBN / ASIN: 3135112047EAN: 9783135112046 Binding: Hardcover Manufacturer: Georg Thieme Verlag Studio: Georg Thieme Verlag
Review:A valuable key to the standard international nomenclature. The Pocket Atlas is a useful and economical illustrated reference to the standard international nomenclature of human anatomy (Nomina Anatomica, NA). Most of the book follows a uniform format with typically four or five number-coded black-and-white line drawings on each right-hand page, and on the facing page, a key to the illustrations with the English name, Latin (NA) name, and a concise definition of each term. A typical entry is 23 Greater palatine foramen. Foramen palatinum majus. Opening into the greater palatine canal located near the posterior margin of the bony palate between the palatine bone and maxilla. B E (B and E are figure references.)
Some entries include, and indicate by different bracket styles, alternative but equally accepted synonyms, unofficial expressions for a structure found in the Nomina Anatomica, unofficial synonyms not found in the NA, and expressions newly modified or added by the International Committee. There is a key to the bracketing and font changes inside the front cover for easy reference. End-matter includes a bibliography of 94 literature citations and a thorough 66-page index. I wouldn’t regard the Pocket Atlas as highly important for routine undergraduate teaching or a layperson’s reference.
The illustrations are clear but unremarkable, and there are much better atlases of human anatomy available. But for anyone writing in the area of human anatomy, for students of the health professions who want a concise review, and for anyone who may be occasionally confused by the variations in terminology from one anatomical atlas to another, this should be a worthwhile addition to one’s professional library. As a medical textbook writer, I find this much more useful than the Nomina Anatomica itself, which is out of print, hard to find, overly expensive, and offers no illustrations or definitions.
Concise Dictionary of Pharmacological Agents: Properties and Synonyms By I.K. Morton, J.M. Hall, Publisher: Springer Number Of Pages: 342 Publication Date: 1999-11-15 ISBN / ASIN: 0751404993 EAN: 9780751404999 Binding: Hardcover Manufacturer: Springer Studio: Springer
This dictionary provides a convenient personal reference source, intended to complement more encyclopaedic works. First, there is an alphabetic, fully cross-indexed listing of pharmacologically active agents and their properties, containing details of some 4000 individual chemical agents including medical drugs in current use, experimental agents and toxins used as investigation tools. Over 10,000 alternative names are indexed, including chemical names, abbreviated chemical names, official pharmacological names, proprietary names and research code numbers.
A key feature is that the properties of the agents are categorised, according to mechanism and use, into 300 classes -for each of which there are descriptive articles for which key literature and review references are provided.Second, there is an alphabetical glossary explaining the meaning of some 3000 biomedical terms from pharmacology, biochemistry, molecular biology, immunology, pathology, physiology, anatomy and microbiology. Emphasis in explanation is given to terms that can cause confusion, for example those relating to drug receptors and to endogenous mediators. This work provides indispensable information for researchers in the fields of pharmacology, medicinal chemistry and pharmaceutics, and biochemistry, as well as for medical and science writers and editors and drug regulatory officers.

Ukraine was the center of the first eastern Slavic state, Kyivan Rus, which was the most powerful state in Europe during the 10th and 11th centuries. Since then, it has been going through changes every couple of years, but unfortunately, it has failed to achieve stability. For the last years, it has faced conflict going on to date.A brief history of UkraineUkrainian territory was absorbed by the Russian Empire piece by piece in the 1800s. Following the collapse of czarist Russia in 1917, the country achieved a short-lived period of independence until 1920. It was quickly reconquered and endured a Soviet rule that engineered two forced famines and a devastating WW II. Although Ukraine achieved final independence in 1991 with the dissolution of the USSR, democracy and prosperity remained elusive to the unstable country.


The Power of Full Engagement: Managing Energy, Not Time, Is The Key to High Performance and Personal Renewal
This book was one that i've been recommended to by countless business owners and entrepreneurs over the years. I finally got around to reading it and it did not let down. When looking at the title, you may think to yourself that it will state the obvious. And while I admit it can seem like that, there are a ton of little nuggets and interesting research that the authors have dedicated years into and put it in this book. If you read this book, my favorite example was the strategies/habits that some of the best tennis players in the world all have in common.

Herein you will follow the travails of a deadly swordsman whose wild Norse rage is tempered and refined by the ancient soul of the Samurai. This is Gonji – Red Blade from the East by T.C. Rypel.
Gonji tells the tale of Sabatake Gonji-no Sadowara, a Ronin of mixed Japanese and Nordic descent who roams across Europe in search of the elusive and mysterious Deathwind. Along the way he brings his considerable fighting prowess to bear as he battles evil in its many guises.
Rypel has created a wonderfully conflicted character whose internal demons are every bit as formidable as the enemies he must face during his journey. Gonji’s internal monologue would make it seem at first that he is elitist and self serving, yet every time someone is in trouble, he throws himself into the fight where his deadly Samurai skills quickly bring the conflict to an end.
Throughout the book, Gonji struggles to try and keep his honor intact while serving alongside those far removed from the concept. He routinely has to demonstrate great restraint rather than reacting to the multitude of insults and sleights. I enjoyed the way Rypel created an eastern “barbarian” who could speak multiple languages and had a wit as sharp as his killing sword.
Gonji – Red Blade from the East, the first book of The Deathwind Trilogy is an exciting read that leaves you wondering just what adventures Rypel has in store for Gonji as his quest continues in the next installment.


Police Commissioner of San Francisco, Author, Frontiersman
[(Body+Mind+Soul /3) Round down]
[(Body+Mind+Soul /3) Round up]
[Health Points /5]
The Police Commissioner of San Francisco is a former cattle rancher and deputy sheriff. A life-long outdoors-man, he is a founder of the Little Missouri Stockmen’s Association and the Boone and Crockett Club, whose primary goal is the conservation of large game animals and their habitats. He is also a published author, having written for several magazines and authoring three books: Hunting Trips of a Ranchman, Ranch Life and the Hunting-Trail, and The Wilderness Hunter.
As Police Commissioner, Roosevelt implemented regular inspections of firearms and annual physical exams; he appointed 300 recruits based on their physical and mental qualifications, regardless of political affiliation, established Meritorious Service Medals, and closed corrupt police hostelries. Roosevelt makes a habit of walking officers’ beats late at night and early in the morning to make sure that they are on duty.


There's three type of classes I teach. Book reading, comprehension, and speech/essay:
1) Book reading is where we take a month in class to read book. I assign reading, we discuss it, and they also have workbooks to go through. It's a lot of repetition to make sure EVERY student has a strong grasp of the book, its vocabulary, what it means, etc. We meet 3 times a week, and one of those days we go to Learning Gate (the library). Here, they each pick 2 smaller books to read on their own and write a "Mini-Book Report". I then pick a big book to read, and they have to read then write a "Big Book Report" on the book that I grade, and they also have an online test they do at home on the big book. Every week we go to the library and get new books and such. Most of my classes are book reading classes.
2)Comprehension is for some of the older students, and its just what it sounds like. They read articles in a book, and then we talk about what it means and such. Each unit has an articles and a workbook area associated with it, we do one unit a class and after 6 classes, we take a test on the previous units.
3) Essay/Speech is where the students practice their writing skills, correctly building complete sentences and such. There's an emphasis on the kids reading out loud and writing their own essays and giving presentations. A lot of the instruction is on useful expressions and such to make a continuously flowing and long responses.
So those are my classes! I have about 32 lessons a week right now, and I see the same students MWF and different students TR. Here's some pictures of my school of one of my classes!
I get to school at 1pm, and my first class of the day starts at 3:40. These are the youngest kids I teach, and luckily I only have 5. It's also one of my favorite classes, but I'll admit, they behave much better than some of the other young classes the other teachers have (lucky me!).
The lone boy in the class Hayden didn't want his picture taken. He's always hyper and having fun, but he crosses the line too much, so I have to yell at him. This was right after he got yelled at, so he was sulking in the corner. Irechez is on the left, she's really smart but new to the program, but she is getting confident and always has the right answer for me! Jamie is in the back, she likes to answer questions or explain things by getting up and demonstrating, which hopefully will gradually turn into her using English to answer questions! Kayla is second from the left, and is quite smart too but like to take control of the class sometimes. Cindy is on the right, and if Hayden isn't being the class clown, she is. Let's just say she doesn't like rules, and I'm guessing learning English isn't her favorite past time!
This is the face Irechez always makes when I ask who wants to read first?! The young ones love reading, and the always want to be the one to start first haha.
I took this video of them reading...it was the day after they took a test on their previous book, and they knew I was making them read this book just because we had nothing to do, since the their semester was finishing that day too. So needless to say, they weren't very cooperative!
So here's my school! This is the entrance area where the front desk is.
Here's a classroom and the hallways through the area. We have about 12 or 15 classrooms? One of the is a lot larger, and wired for presentations and movies and such.
Here's the faculty work area. All of our desk areas are on each wall, and the middle table will have food for us on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays, since none of us have a break during dinner time to go out a buy something on the street.
And here is my desk area!:
Nothing spectacular, but its works well!
I hope every has a great weekend and I'll post sooner than I did this time. I have some fun things coming up that I will definitely share on this blog.

This grim and harrowing survival story makes the perfect Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa present, provided your friend/loved one likes to spend their holiday reading novels full of dirt, blood, and rotting corpses.
There’s this other junk in there about the human condition and finding strength in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds, but that’s the dumb, old nonsense that English teachers like. YOU CAN TOTALLY IGNORE IT!
Published by Permuted Press, GENERATION 0 is recommended for readers 14 and up. It’s pretty gruesome in places.
Follow the lives of fours strangers into a global apocalypse:
Josie, a social misfit whose best friend is a switchblade knife.
Shawnika, a bookworm with a dark side that erupts when threatened.
Grace, a tomboy with a special skill that gets her into trouble as often as out of it.
Zane, a psychopath amused by suffering and murder.
As the world descends into gang warfare and the dead rot in the streets, their every moment becomes life or death. Every choice blurs the line between good and evil. Every action chips away at their humanity. And when a maelstrom of events forces their paths to cross, they’ll each will discover what they’re really made of.
Generation 0: Are they the end of mankind, or a new beginning?

The wet noodles at Library of Congress succumb to social engineering efforts and GOP House Reps aren’t swallowing the change from “illegal alien” to “non citizen”.It seems the Library of Congress has planted itself square in the middle of the issue of illegal aliens in the United States with the most mealy mouthed of reasoning that it is considered a pejorative by some (those who have a vested interest in keeping illegals in the country) and that Americans are too ignorant to know by context if one is talking about humans or little green men.
The library had initially turned down a formal request from Dartmouth College in the fall of 2014 to change “illegal aliens” to “undocumented immigrants.” After the American Library Association adopted a resolution at its midwinter meeting this year calling on the Library of Congress to change its subject headings, the library convened a meeting to discuss the terminology.
GOP House of Representative members aren’t happy about it, and introduced a poison pill into the funding bill for Library of Congress – rightly so – it isn’t for any federal bureaucracy within the US government to take positions that do not reflect federal law.
Also, it should be noted that the substitute words are inaccurate. The “illegal” in the term accurately depicts the legal status of entry. The “alien” also accurately depicts the status of remaining within the borders of the United States. Therefore “illegal alien” works well as a collective term for illegal immigrants (people here to stay), visa overstayers, or those who enter illegally on their way to someplace else – like Canada.

This June, one hundred years ago, a Serbian nationalist walked out of a café and fired several rounds into an Austrian duke. What followed was the bloodiest conflict Europe, and the world, had ever seen, and would define global politics for the next century. Unfortunately, we have very little footage of these gruesome and hellacious battles, and even photographs are surprisingly rare.
Reading about the war is one thing, but as primarily visual creatures, seeing a graphical representation of the horrors of those apocalyptic four years affects us on a whole other level, and this is an avenue where the graphic novel format shines. This event often gets overshadowed by the little known conflict that followed 20 years later, so it’s refreshing to see many artists and writers taking their passion for comic books to make sure the men who fought in died in this colossal tragedy get their due, “lest we forget.”
The First World War is treated with a reverence and horror like no other conflict in human history. The following are several books that all take different approaches to telling this tale, but do it in a manner that shows us how even one hundred years later, we can still be shocked and appalled by these events.
There are no vampire Nazis in these books. No secret army of super-powered Hitler clones or skull faced super villains seeking mythical weapons. The stories are all based on real events, real people and real accounts.
The Harlem Hellfighters
Max Brooks and Caanan White
Author Max Brooks is has been writing, acting, and doing voiceovers for years. The son of Hollywood legend Mel Brooks, Max is most famous for his Zombie Survival Guide and apocalyptic collection of stories World War Z. In his latest book, Brooks teamed up with artist and illustrator Caanan White to tell the tale of the 369
Infantry Regiment, a group of African-American soldiers who fought and kicked all sorts of ass in the first World War.
The book follows the outfit from the enlistment lines in New York to the bloody trenches of France in the beginning of 1918. Unlike other accounts from this period, the struggles of the 369
go well beyond the horrors of trench warfare. Combating extreme racial prejudice at home, especially so during their training at boot camp in South Carolina, Brooks shows the unbelievable strength and resolve it took for these men to fight, and die, for a country that didn’t want them in a war that wasn’t theirs.
The dialogue is fantastic, nearly every page has poignant and endlessly quotable lines that hit the reader right in the gut. En route to France in the belly of a transport ship, two of the soldiers are questioning the causes behind the colossal conflict they are about to join. When one soldier asks “How’d the whole war start,” another replies “White folks ran out of coloreds to kill, so they turned on each other.”
The art is very reminiscent of the Walking Dead. Simple black and white pages are splattered with plenty of gore, although at times it can be difficult to tell what is happening and distinguish individual characters. There is plenty of action and White does an excellent job of showing the awful conditions these men were forced to live in.
Whether your interest is in the history of war or race relations in early 20
century America, the Harlem Hellfighters is an excellent book and tells a very important, if oft forgotten story.
It Was the War of the Trenches
This book is not a history text. The interweaving stories written and illustrated by Jacques Tardi are tales handed down to him from his Grandfather. That isn’t to say the book is rife with historical inaccuracies, quite the contrary. Tardi has done his research, from the uniforms to the signs in the trenches, it’s very clear the man knows his stuff. According to the introduction however, his main goal in creating this work was to avoid the specifics and dryness found in other texts because “The only thing that interests me is man and his suffering,”
The book tells a series of stories from intertwining perspectives, both French and German, that flow into a grand narrative showing just how ridiculously awful it was to fight this war. There is very little dialogue between characters, with each individual narrating his own experiences. With any translated work, one can’t help but feel some of the colour is lost with the original language, but regardless, the writing is strong and sucks you right in.
The art very rarely breaks the three panel per page format, in fact, only the first story is laid out in a different way. Don’t let this turn you off though, Tardi draws his pieces like a combination of old Tales From the Crypt comics and Tintin. The juxtaposition of cartoonish, almost goofy looking characters and rotting corpses, rats, and exploding limbs really makes the reader pay attention. Using only black and white is not a hindrance here, it’s almost as if colour would detract from the grim scenery and hopelessness the stories are trying to convey.
This book might not be for everyone, but if you’re looking for a spot on depiction of life in the trenches, you won’t find anything better in the graphic format.
Pat Mills and Joe Colquhoun
The oldest series on this list, Charley’s War ran as a strip in Battle Picture Weekly from 1979-1985. Written by Pat Mills with art by Joe Colquhoun, the story follows the adventures of Charley Bourne, a British boy that lies about his age in order to enlist. Charley very quickly finds himself on the front lines at the Battle of the Somme, the bloodiest battle in British history where 20,000 British soldiers were killed on the first day.
While it can now be collected in several volumes, the original strip ran weekly and is broken up similarly within. The dialogue is defiantly British, with slang and colloquialisms that read like a script from an episode of Blackadder Goes Forth. It adds a charm and personality to the writing, but the pulpy nature doesn’t hit as hard as some of the other books in this list. Charley encounters plenty of memorable characters in his journeys, including the stoic and tattooed Sgt. Tozer and the nasty and narcissistic classist Lt. Snell.
Anybody who grew up reading comics from the silver age will love the art. The facial expressions on the characters convey amazing ranges of emotion, and the battle scenes are crammed with action and detail. There is plenty of dirt and blood, and when the tanks roll out for their first test run you can feel the rumble in your bones while reading.
Charley’s War is now split up into 10 volumes, and it’s easy to see why this series, according to comic legend Garth Ennis, is “the best story ever to appear in comics.”
The Great War: July 1, 1916: The First Day of the Battle of the Somme
This title is a bit different from the others. There are no words, no panels, and an astounding amount of detail. Joe Sacco has created a modern day Bayeux Tapestry that depicts the first day of the Battle of the Somme in a 24 page vista. A single piece spread out on twenty-four plates, picture Where’s Waldo meets trench warfare. Accompanied by a guidebook, it’s easy to spend hours poring over this astonishing work, soaking up the individual elements that come together in a beautiful and horrifying panorama. This work of art has garnered so much acclaim it is now featured as a 500-foot-long mural along the walls of the Montparnasse station of the Paris Metro.

A/P/A Heritage Series
A month-long series of Asian-Pacific American stories to celebrate A/P/A Heritage Month
When I sat down at the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival to see The Vancouver Asahi, I thought I was just going to see a baseball movie. One where the underdog team somehow finds a way to overcome adversity and become champions. Sometimes that adversity is your gender, your race, being too small, or simply having a place to play.
The Vancouver Asahi has a lot of all of the above. The story of a Japanese-Canadian baseball team in pre-World War II Vancouver, the Asahi play year after year with losing records. Champions of heart but losers on the field. Set in Vancouver’s bustling Japantown, every year the working class men get together and play because it is the one luxury they are afforded in a time when luxuries are nonexistent. The movie, like life, weaves subplots of race, gender, and class relations into the story of this baseball clan.
Director Yuya Ishii released this film in 2014 on the heels of his success with the film The Great Passage, which won critical acclaim and was Japan’s selection for the Best Foreign Film category for last year’s Oscars.
The movie begins with a voice over introducing us to this group of Japanese immigrants who journeyed to Vancouver, Canada and found a way to create a community in the crevasse of Caucasian middle and upper classes.
Led by Reggie (Satoshi Tsumabuki), the ragtag group of baseball players realize the way to beat the larger, slower white guys is to play short and fast. As they win games through bunting and baserunning, they also win the hearts of, not only their community, but of all Canadians. The movie ends when the Asahi are disbanded and forced into internment camps.
It was these end credits that really stirred something in me. I remembered that this wasn’t a mastery of fiction, this was nonfiction. The Asahi were a real Canadian baseball team in Vancouver from 1914 to 1941. They won the Pacific Northwest Championship not just once, but five years in a row. Their playing style of bunts and stealing bases, labeled “brain ball,” wasn’t just the plot points of a screenplay, but heralded in actual newspaper pages. And though the Asahi were disbanded, baseball continued to be a small glimmer of hope for a community in dire need of it. A good double-feature would have been to watch this and then see American Pastime, which focuses on Japanese-Americans who were forced into internment but played baseball while in the camps.
The story of the Japanese in internment camps has stood on the fringes of Western History. A still reluctantly addressed part of history, it is one that can be bravely addressed in movies like The Vancouver Asahi because after watching and rooting for this group of athletes, you are faced with the ominous reminder that, no matter who was rooting for them, by 1942 they were considered combatants and a threat.
The tale of the Asahi is one that is ripe for a sports movie. Though it employs many of the genre’s tropes and cliches, you forgive it because it is a story that really happened. Inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame in 2003, the Asahi weren’t just a fictional feel-good tale, but a real life story of overcoming adversity during an unromantic and oft overlooked part of history.
