A Bookish Summer!

So it’s been a bookish summer, everyone!  The tenth anniversary of Can Creative Writing Really Be Taught came out from Bloomsbury in July and it is amazing.  I’m incredibly proud of it and I’m allowed to say that without worrying bragging because I only put it together with Rebecca Manery, most of the book is cutting edge research in creative writing pedagogy from the most current scholars in our field.  About half of the essays are re-envisionings of the original essays from the ground- breaking first edition from people like Tim Mayers, Anna Leahy, Kate Haake, Mary Ann Cain and so on.  How often do you get to read a book where the scholar gets to revisit what they wrote 10 years later?  Right, never.  So take this chance!  And still there’s more–the rest of the book is chock-a-block (as they would say in the UK) with new essays from even more of the most relevant scholars in our field, taking its pulse and predicting its future.    This book is a must have, creative writing  people, for your bookshelves and for your classrooms.  And of course, I’m biased, but Rebecca and I created it to be a must-have.  And Bloomsbury, with their vision, supported us every step along the way.

More movement on The Geek’s Guide to the Writing Life: An Instructional Guide for Prose Writers.  Houston, we have a cover! And I love it:

I am so excited to bring forth this very personal guide to making a literary life, packed with lots of information on everything from making the time to write to getting published, finding an agent to giving yourself permission to write.  Writing geek’s unite! Click on the book itself to pre-order the Geek’s Guide from amazon.  Launching December 14, it will make a great holiday gift for all the creatives in your life.  Don’t forget to buy one for yourself.

I also continued working on a new, complete rewrite of Beautiful, Terrible Things which is proceeding well, albeit slowly and submitting The Lost Son to indie publishers and contests.  Let’s just say “Nevertheless, She Persisted” should be my tag line.  Anyway, a week ago, I found out that The Lost Son is part of the

Winners will be announced at the end of September but the press will be publishing lots of interviews and quotes with the short list winners in the meantime–keep your eye out for more news from me here, on Twitter and FB.  The competition is incredibly stiff–I’m happy to be among them–cross your fingers and toes and pray for me if you pray–I want nothing more than to get The Lost Son into reader’s hands.

More soon! Stephanie

Essay News!

Less than a week ago I was working hard on an essay about writing and perseverance for my Huffington Post column.  About a difficult subject, an assault and kidnapping attempt I experienced twenty-five years ago when I started my MFA program, it was something I had tried to write about many times but failed.  The writing always seemed forced; not quite there.  I wasn’t ready.

Last week, I felt ready and the essay just poured out.  You can read it here, at the Huffington Post, where it got a great response.  But I’d rather you read it here, over at  Easy Street mag.  My friend, writer Wendy Russ, asked if they could reprint the essay at the magazine she edits (she is actually Editor in Chief!) yesterday and I was honored to say yes.  It is a wonderful magazine of arts and culture, especially literary arts and culture.  I encourage you to check out all the great features, like it on Facebook and get yourself on the newsletter mailing list.  Read the “Apply” section if you want to get more involved in literary culture.  Read the “submit” section and consider submitting. Spread the news to all your friends; more people need to know about this awesome literary outlet!

The Wreck of the General Slocum

This is a statue at the memorial of the tragedy. Many of the dead, mothers and children, washed ashore clutching each other.

One hundred and eleven years ago today, June 15, 1904, the steamship General Slocum set off in New York Harbor ferrying nearly fourteen hundred people, many of them parishioners of St. Mark’s Church in Manhattan’s Little Germany, to a picnic on Long Island.  It was an annual celebration for St. Mark’s, a church cruise and picnic to mark the end of the school year and the beginning of summer.

Minutes into the cruise, tragedy struck.  A fire started in a storage room and spread quickly.  Because the ship had been inspected in name only for decades, none of the firefighting or lifesaving equipment worked.  Aged firehoses instantly sprung leaks and proved useless as flames swept through the decks.  Lifeboats that had been “painted” where they hung over the years were stuck to the boat and would not budge.  And the worst insult?  Passengers who grabbed cork-filled life preservers and thought they were jumping to their safety in the harbor (few city-dwellers could swim in those days) discovered the preservers were original to the boat and that the aged cork had turned to dust, dust that became as heavy as stone when it hit the water.

An estimated 1,021 of the 1,342 aboard the boat that day died; the second largest loss of life in New York City after 9/11.  Since the outing was on a Wednesday, many of these were women and children; the men of the family still heading off to work.  By mid-day, many of them would discover their entire families were gone.  Some committed suicide that very day or in the weeks to follow; others never recovered mentally.  Many did, somehow picking up the pieces of their shattered lives.

I became interested in the tragedy when my mother started telling me that it was one of the reasons Astoria, Queens started to grow in the early 1900’s.  Many of the men in Little Germany moved across the river to Astoria to start over.  Astoria was near Hell Gate where the ship went down but it wasn’t full of the memories of where they had lived with their families.  In fact, many said they simply couldn’t bear to live in Little Germany any longer, in a place suddenly so absent of women and children.

I have always been familiar with Astoria as a part of the Queens borough I spent a lot of time in growing up.  But I became fascinated by the fact that a place could grow and flourish as a result of such a tragedy.  I decided I wanted to write a multigenerational novel that began there, that started with one man, Augustus Horstmann, a watch maker, somehow starting over after losing his wife, mother, sister and young son in the wreck, and followed him and then his children and grandchildren and great grandchildren through the rest of the twentieth century.  None of them, of course, are immune to loss, just as none of us are.

Titled The Gift, the novel focuses on the stories of three characters, Augustus, his daughter Anna and Anna’s great-grandson-in-law, Nicholas, and three periods of time, 1914-16, 1946 and 2001-2004.  It’s with my agent now.

You can watch an excellent documentary on the Slocum tragedy here (make sure you have time or watch in bits; it’s almost 45 minutes long); featuring recreated scenes,  interviews with historians and survivors and present-day footage of where the steamship went down.

I’m in love–with my new website!

I’m so excited to debut my new website, www.stephanievanderslice.com.  Check it out and have a look around.  There’s an about page and a page where you can find out about my latest books.  There’s also a resources section (under the writing section) where you can find out about more about writing if that’s what you’re interested in, and you can even find a recipe for egg creams–I reference them a lot in my novels.  And my blog has migrated there to0, so now Stephanie Vanderslice is all in one place!!

The best part is that the really feels like me.  Want to know how it all happened?  I had already started to feel like I needed to re-invigorate my web presence when writer Cara Brookins came to speak at the University of Central Arkansas about her career and the role that social media plays in it.  While she spoke she mentioned that she and her family were starting a social media consulting company, MySocialFam, designed to help people understand and build their web following. They could even create a website for me.

Flashforward two months later to a meeting with Cara and her two lovely daughters, Hope and Jada, who do the heavy lifting on the website design, at Mylo coffee in Little Rock.  I felt that they were really listening to me and “getting” who I was as a person and as a writer.  After that and some more listening and emailing back and forth, www.stephanievanderslice.com was born.  I could not be happier with it.

Best of all, I feel ready to take the reins now because they have helped me every step of the way.  I cannot recommend MySocialFam enough.  And they did not pay me to say this. They didn’t even know I was going to write it!

An Evening with Anne Lamott

I recently had the opportunity to see writing guru Anne Lamott speak at an event in Little Rock and write about it on the Huffington Post.  She even signed my well-loved first-edition paperback of Bird-by-Bird.  Read about it here.

Back in the Saddle with a Blog Hop!

Hi again, Wordamour readers.  I’ve been wanting to get this blog re-started and Anna Leahy’s writing process blog hop seemed a great way to do that.  Anna tagged me here and I encourage you to check out her blog,  Lofty Ambitions

It’s hard to keep two blogs going and I’m trying to commit to posting at least once a month on Huffington Post, which is a super-time costuming venue.  But this will still be where I cross post those links and tell you about other things going on in the writing life that don’t fit on Huffpo.  Anyway, here we go.  Answers to questions about my writing life and the writing process with the next bloggers tagged at the end.

What am I working on?

I’ve got a couple of projects going. I’m working on a book length version of my Huffington Post blog, The Geek’s Guide to the Writing Life, which is almost finished. I’m also deep into the research/backstory writing for my next novel, very tentatively titled The Gift, a multigenerational tale about a family in Queens, NY arising in the aftermath of the General Slocum Steamboat fire in 1904 (a disaster that claimed over a thousand lives) and moving through the twentieth century to the 9/11 tragedy. I’m also working on a few edited scholarly collections on creative writing and am hoping to draft a memoir in the fall called Dear Madeleine: Letters to the Daughter I Never Had, about gender in the 20th/21st century and the reasons why I am glad I have sons (hint: so I don’t have to watch a daughter go through some of the struggles I went through and that still burden women).

As of this Thursday, I will be on sabbatical through Fall 2014. Can you tell?

How does my work differ from others of its genre?

I write in two genres, fiction and creative nonfiction and what’s actually a more interesting question to me is how my voice differs dramatically in each. My fiction voice is spare, precise, serene and empathetic. On the other hand, my creative nonfiction voice is edgy and funny, occasionally dramatic. Each seems to be written by a different Stephanie I carry inside me.

Why do I write what I do?

I write fiction to try and explore what puzzles me in life, namely how people survive overwhelming loss, and because I think these puzzles make for interesting stories. This was the theme of my last novel, The Lost Son, and, of course, it’s the theme of The Gift. In my creative nonfiction, I’m hoping to reach out to others, to help them find their way as writers (The Geek’s Guide), to stir up the often stodgy world of creative writing (Rethinking Creative Writing), or to call attention, again, to the situation for women in our culture (Dear Madeleine). I don’t know if anything will come of that last book, but I have been wanting to write it for a long time and after attending an inspiring session on women’s creative nonfiction at the last Associated Writer’s Programs (AWP) conference, feel ready to get it out.

How does my writing process work?

During the school year, when I have a full teaching load and direct the Arkansas Writers MFA Workshop, I work on whatever is on the top of the priority list, drawing inspiration from whichever writing project has the closest deadline. I write about ten to fifteen hours a week, sometimes during the week, sometimes on the weekends. If I write during the week, which I often need to do to keep my sanity, that means I do a lot of other work on the weekend.  In the summer or when I’m on sabbatical, I write about twenty to thirty hours a week and spend the rest of my time doing writing-related tasks, researching, reading, posting about writing on social media, mentoring other writers.

I have a small but lovely studio/office at the back of our century-old house where I can write and where my books and bulletin boards inspire me—I’ve spent years perfecting this space, my “room of one’s own,” so to speak, and I feel very lucky to have it. Our dog, Mario, has become my muse and devoted writing companion however, and in that cliched, middle-aged way, I find myself preferring his company to that of a lot of people. So until I can find a way for him to lay beside me in my studio (I’m working on it) I do most of my writing on the sofa in our living room, with a large mug of coffee on my right and Mario curled up on my left. In fact, he’s right here while I work on this post.

I lean heavily on forces like National Novel Writing Month and similar structures to get those first drafts down. Drafting is incredibly hard for me and the part of the process I’m most likely to procrastinate about, so I know that I’ve just got to get something on paper or into my computer as quickly as possible so that I’ll have something to work with. Once I have something to work with, it’s fairly smooth sailing. I love to revise. My sabbatical will be spent getting a lot of words out and down because for me, that’s the biggest challenge and what demands the most time, angst and coffee. When it’s over (sniff sniff) and I go back to teaching in Spring 2015 (I love teaching but it’s a whole other full-time job) I hope to have several drafts to work on and bring to completion in the months to come.

Who’s next in my writing process blog hop?

Take it Back

As I’ve been working through and meditating on Leviticus, looking at how God takes the symbolism of varied rituals which the Israelites were familiar with – but infuses them with new meaning I recorded this response to the end of chapter 14 after meditating on the typically arcane rituals of diagnosing varied rots and restoring purity to what became impure…

Once again many of the rituals, this one included, are echoes and remnants of the pagan cultures around them, but God strips them of their pagan lies and invests them with his truth. In other cultures the birds are sent to the underworld in order to appease the chthonic deities. But it is not so in Israel. God always recaptures the symbolism and directs the attention to Himself. He is the one who strikes down and the one who heals. The impurity present is not sin, but is symbolic – a teaching lesson that men might see in the common before them, the uncommon (but oft unseen in this world) horror of sinning against God.

In many of these procedures, rites, and rituals God always takes back the honor and the glory that is rightfully His and he does it by using what His people can understand. God stoops to reinvest new-sacred meaning into fallen forms. God stoops to display his glory in familiar imagery because we have no capacity to conceive of the unfamiliar. It is not that these fallen forms have in themselves truth, but that God is able to take garbage and make glory for himself. (Rom 8:28).

We must consider, how it may be, that we who are made in God’s image can take the familiar symbols and portrayals of culture, strip them of their lies and invest them with God’s truth in order to display the glory of God to a people wholly unequipped to perceive it. We must not deign to cheapen God in the process, but we who know Christ can feel free to dismantle the methods and procedures of the world of deception and to reassemble them with His glory.

Make movies tell of his glory.

Make books tell of his glory.

Make radio tell of his glory.

Make songs tell of his glory.

Make television tell of his glory.

Make the internet tell of his glory.

Take the fallen forms, rip out the lies, and embed the truth plainly in its reconstruction.

Take it back.

Happy New Year

It is a weird feeling, being an evangelist for ABBA—surely they don’t need my help—but this song is one of their lesser-known works.

If you like my musical stylings, please consider backing me on Patreon? I’ve been pouring the funds raised there right back into the music: my patrons have covered the costs of ukuleles, microphone stands, and even a guitar, though I’m still just starting to figure out how to play that. I’m hoping to overhaul my recording setup in the year to come, and you can be a part of that!

Press Release for Signature Gathering

Colorado Secretary of State’s Office Issues Rules for Ballot Petition Signature Gathering

DENVER, Colo.- Pursuant to Governor Polis’s two Executive Orders (here and here) issued on May 15, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold has issued a series of temporary rules that enable signature gathering for ballot petitions during the COVID-19 national health crisis.  The rules lay out a series of innovative methods in which those collecting signatures can do so via email or mail.

“This country’s core promise is government ‘by and for the people.’ That’s why it’s so important that Coloradans have access to participating in our democracy. I am proud to release new procedures that protect this fundamental right in these unprecedented times,” said Secretary Griswold. “These procedures will allow Coloradans to exercise their right to petition by using email and mail to collect signatures for ballot access.”

The rules outline provisions that will allow unaffiliated or independent candidates who file their petitions with the Secretary of State, as well as petitioners for state ballot initiatives, to utilize mail and email to gather requisite signatures in addition to normal in-person signature gathering.  Those who do decide to gather signatures in-person are encouraged to follow local health guidelines.

The candidate or ballot initiative petitioners will send a form, approved by the Secretary of State’s Office, via mail or email to supporters who are eligible to sign. The supporter must then physically print their name and address as well as sign the form, and in the case of a ballot initiative, have the form witnessed, and return an image of that signed form to the candidate or ballot initiative petitioner.

For the complete rules, click here.

How many shades of brown?

Email This Post June 11th, 2007 nicky

I most likely will not be able to get a post up until late Monday night, instead I will spending my day pulling my hair out in frustration over the endless amount of choices in kitchen cabinets/countertops/doorknobs/(enter various home interior item here) at the new home design center. My friend Sara told me to expect to be there for 5 hours… just thinking about it makes my stomach sick. I am one of the absolute worst people at making decisions. Even choosing where to eat dinner with my husband is like torture for me. Trust me, you don’t want to witness my indecision and I thank God for my patient, kind husband who puts up with my pickiness! We are starting the process for building our new home, which is exciting but very overwhelming. Especially with trying to get our current home ready for sale. Some people may just wing it and let people come over to check their home out without a second thought but I am a neurotic, everything must be staged and completely sparkling beautiful before that sign goes in my front yard type of girl. Case in point, we spent four hours this morning staging the garage…and no one will probably notice but me. Man, I am making myself sound really crazy by telling all of this to the world! I promise I am normal! Anyway, wish me luck at the design center!

    That sounds like alot of fun to me. I’m not choosy about anything, and make up my mind fairly quickly.

    Have you picked out ceiling fans yet? You’ll have to learn how to pick quickly, or leave with a sore neck!

Love notes to your students

Tuesday, December 11, 2018
Hi teacher friends!!!  Happy Wait for it Wednesday, I'm so excited to share with you one way that I love on my students in a BIG way!
It's cheap/free, easy and meaningful... what more can you ask for anyway right?!?!

I think it is so important to continue to build on the relationships you have in your classroom all year long.  They long for that with you as well.
I leave little notes on their desks periodically to show them how much I care and I wish I could post a video of their responses.  It's like Christmas morning guys and I'm not even kidding.  They LOVE these notes.  I try to do them seasonally but one of the most important things is these notes are personalized just to suit them and why I appreciate them.
Here are some examples of notes I've done:

building classroom community

building classroom community

I always write my students a note on the first day of school AND the first Friday of that week as well.  It starts the year off on the right foot and lets them know how much you care.

love notes to your students

building classroom community

These are my most recent ones that I did this week - if you are interested in doing this as well you can get these here

building classroom community

I hope you can use these to build classroom community and show your students how much you care.  I always say:  They will always remember how you made them feel.
Anywho, go out there and love on your students!  Happy { almost Christmas break} my teacher friends.

Remember you can always find me here on Wednesdays for my Wait for it Wednesday blog posts as well as Sunday nights on my Instagram for Sunday Night Snippets.  I'd love for you to join me.

Number line fun

Tuesday, December 4, 2018

There are so many fun ways to use the number line in the classroom!  BUT first.... make the number line FUN...then do the FUN things with it.  Check out my newest product....number line manipulatives.  My students are LOVING these!

number line ideas

You can grab these number lines { here } ,
number line ideas
they come with instructions on how to make them AND you've got to pick up the fun animal beads instead of the normal go to circular beads.  I promise it will make this task even MORE engaging!  If you want to watch a video where I explain these in more detail head on over to my instagram stories.  I found my animal beads at Michaels.

NOW that you have the fun number lines you are ready to make your math practice, review and lessons more engaging and memorable for your students!  Play games with the number lines, ask questions and have them hold up their number lines with the bead on the correct answer.  Have them work in pairs and ask one another addition/subtraction questions.  The possibilities are endless.
For instance, they can ask their partner questions like:  Move your bead and show 4 more than 8.  What is 5 less than 16?  It would even work perfectly if you just have a few minutes before snack and need some 'filler' time.
Let me know how you use it - you can find me on

And of course you can always join me here for my weekly series:
As always...
happy teaching!

Q3 2010 Road Maps showing you the future (update)

futureExit Long-time Telerik customers know that the value of a Telerik subscription extends far beyond the high quality tools we ship, encompassing industry leading support, constantly updated training materials, and an aggressive release cycle that continues to deliver three major releases every year! While some companies continue to charge more while offering less, and .NET framework components evolve at “framework speed,” Telerik innovates quickly to deliver more value in a year than virtually any other software tools vendor. And now that Q2 and the first round of service packs are behind us, it’s time to start looking ahead to the final release of 2010.

Q3 2010 is once again shaping-up to be a huge release. It’s becoming a bit cliché at this point to tout a release as “huge,” but there’s really no other way to describe our Q releases as each subsequent release delivers more updates to more products. To help you start planning for what’s next, we’ve started to publish the Q3 2010 Road Maps for many of the Telerik products.

I’ll provide direct links to the Road Maps below, but first, some cool highlights from what we’ve revealed so far:

  • AJAX
    • 2 New Controls: TreeList and Button (richer versions of ASP’s LinkButton, ImageButton, and Button)
    • RadCalendar: New Range Selection feature
    • RadAsyncUpload: New Inline progress indicator
  • MVC
    • New Controls: TimePicker and DateTimePicker
    • Grid: Many enhancements, including Column Reordering
    • Accessibility improvements + some exciting secret work

It seems like a very good web site but my English is not good. It would be great if it might be availible in other languages too. But, I like this web site very much, thank you very much share this information.

Hey Todd,
What's so major about MEF in OpenAccess? :) ...just don't know what it will help solve, can you perhaps give an example of what we can do with it?

The profiler however is a superawesome idea!

When are we able to use the Silverlight Controls in WPF?

Since Silverlight is a subset of WPF, it should be easy to port them to WPF. I'm asking, because we need an editor control in WPF.

Todd Anglin said...

@Steve - Well, the Road Map for OpenAccess actually changed a bit after I published this. Unfortunately, the Profiler and Extensibility will not be ready for Q3. When it is added, MEF Extensibility will allow anyone to create plug-ins for the OpenAccess Visual Designer.

@Anon - For the most part, all Silverlight controls are available in our WPF suite (they share a code base internally). In the case of Editor, it is new and simply needs to be thoroughly tested before it joins our WPF controls. The work is being done and it should show-up soon. When it does, it will share the exact same API as the Silverlight Editor. Hope that helps.

9/11 observed quietly on Mills campus

Sept. 11, 2006 passed quietly on the Mills campus.

There was no outpouring of emotion or large display of American pride. A candlelight vigil, held in the chapel, was somber and respectful.

The Mills student news e-mail service contained only one mention of the significance of the day. It was a poem posted by a student which described the tragedy of Sept. 11 as insignificant in comparison to other world tragedies.

Out of 15 Mills students interviewed for this article, only two said classes they were in discussed 9/11 and related events; one was in International Relations and the other in Journalism I.

In the International Relations course, the discussion gravitated toward discussing the vulnerability of the United States those attacks exposed.

Natasha Trachtenberg, who flew home to Los Angeles on Sept. 12, said that she was “not worried about the safety at all. Sometimes I think the safety measures are a little excessive. Plus, every time they create one people [terrorists] find a way around them. But it seems to be working.”

The girls agreed that in the five years since terrorists flew hijacked airliners into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, Americans have accepted inconvenience, sacrificed personal liberties and paid billions of dollars for a security clampdown that touches virtually every aspect of their lives. And we’re still not safe.

As Trachtenberg expressed, out of 15 girls, only one felt so unsafe that she refrains from flying. All expressed irritation at the extra security measures.

“I also think the measures are excessive, the government wants to make the public feel secure,” points out freshwoman Abby Lebbert. “It’s a false sense of security, because [airport officials] can’t protect against everything.”

As authorities protect against box cutters, the terrorists try shoe bombs. Protect against shoe bombs, and the terrorists try liquid explosives. Protect airliners, and the terrorists blow up buses and trains. The list of possibilities is endless, but the government’s resources aren’t.

According to The New York Times, the nation has spent an estimated $299 billion domestically on the war on terrorism over the past five years to hire thousands more FBI and Border Patrol agents and buy high-tech devices to secure the nation’s planes, trains, ports, nuclear reactors and other potential targets. U.S. military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, added with have cost $437 billion more.

This small sampling of Mills students concluded that while Americand are not necessarily less safe than they were before Sept. 11, 2001, “Mills students as a whole are not particularly at risk, and we feel safe,” as Alissa Chasten summed up. But any accounting of the government’s performance shows missteps and gaps along with the successes.

Does this feeling of safety five years and thousands of miles from Ground Zero, account for the quiet Sept. 11 observances on the Mills Campus? Only further “anniversaries” can tell.

ATX Television Festival, XBox News, Big Brother Canada, & More - April 29, 2013

If you love 90's TV show reunions, the ATX Television Festival in Austin, TX is the place to be for you on June 6-9.  Party of Five, My So Called Life, and Boy Meets World will all have a presence there.   For Boy Meets World, there will be a special presentation including creator Michael Jacobs, and the cast including Ben Savage, Rider Strong, Maitland Ward, Matthew Lawrence, Lily Nicksay, and Trina McGee.  For Party of Five, there will be a screening with a Q&A with creator Chris Keyser and the cast of Scott Wolf, Scott Grimes, and Paula Devicq.  For My So Called Life, attending will be creator Winnie Holzman and the cast of Bess Armstrong, Devon Gummersall, Devon Odessa, and Wilson Cruz.  Out of the genre of 90's TV and one that really peaked my interest.  There will be a screening and Q&A with the cast of American Dreams.  This would be a lot of fun to see!  In attendance will be creator Jonathan Prince; writers Becky Hartman Edwards, David Semel, Jason Wilborn, and Liz Tigelaar; cast including Arlen Escarpeta, Brittany Snow, Ethan Dampf, Gail O'Grady, Jamie Elman, Rachel Boston, Sarah Ramos, Tom Verica, and Vanessa Lengies.  I would love to attend that!  Hoping there is some way for those of us unable to attend that some of these can be viewed online or something of the sorts.  We'll just have to wait and see.  That isn't all as there will be plenty more from current TV shows and reunions.  For more info, check out the link at:

On to the last week in Big Brother Canada.  Emmett won the HOH competition and that meant trouble for Andrew once again.  Pretty bad when your supposed alliance keeps putting you on the block.  Emmett this week and then Jillian last week.  Up on the block went Gary and Andrew.  Emmett has been playing close to everyone so he would be good with whoever won veto for the week .  The veto competition was held where it was a competition where it was how bad do you want it.  What are you willing to give up to gain points and get closer to the veto?  Gary was ready to give up everything and was fast.  Emmett gained himself $1000 knowing he didn’t need to win the veto.  LOL.  Andrew took the biggest point getter for agreeing to a haircut of Big Brother’s choosing.  However, it wasn’t enough.  Gary had way too many points and took the veto.  He had many punishments.  Andrew got his haircut from Dan.  Yep, Dan from BBUSA was in the Big Brother house this week.  He got things stirred up immediately including me as he announced that he would get to vote to evict one person while he was there.  He was kidding but wow, did it change the mood quick.  Dan got to spend the day in the house and got to talk to everyone.  He gave them advice and had fun with them as well including each of them having to complete a task.  Dan’s advice was good and I was really hoping that many would take the advice and shake the game up.  One being shake up Emmett and Jillian.  Break that couple up.  You have to break them up at this point.  They may have to break it up themselves even and I think they see that as a possibility.  So, Gary uses the veto on himself and Talla is put on the block as the replacement.  Talla’s behavior later on almost puts her in jeopardy of being voted out.  However, Andrew goes home.  His line was best when he said what Dan had advised him on saying that his supposed alliance has put him on the block two weeks in a row.  The HOH competition was taking place as Thursday’s show went off the air.  Another highlight of the week was the latest Marcia the Moose task for Talla who had to host her own talk show in the living room.  She had to respond to every houseguest at least once with “I did not know that”.  This was funny especially with her reaction of trying to figure out who in the world was talking to her in the hallway.  LOL.  One week left of episodes in Big Brother Canada.
Big Brother Line Of The Week“Get ready for our first fail everyone” – Marcia the moose as Talla walked out to try to accomplish her house task.

Score a huge win for The Big Bang Theory.  A recent repeat episode topped American Idol in the ratings.

Xbox 360 recently released an app for The CW where you can check out CW programming on there.  You will be able to stream full episodes 24 hours after they air and it will not require being a cable or satellite subscriber.  Definitely another option at watching CW programming if you're interested.

Speaking of Xbox, the news this week is that they will announce the plans for the new Xbox on May 21st.  There is going to be a lot of people focusing on that announcement to see what the plans are in the continuing gaming console battles.

Funny or Die has released a very funny video featuring screenwriter, Michael Arndt on his first day writing Star Wars Episode VII.

The Circle of Life (Disney's The Lion King 1994)

A young lion Prince is cast out of his pride by his cruel uncle, who claims he killed his father. While the uncle rules with an iron fist, the prince grows up beyond the savannah, living by a philosophy: No worries for the rest of your days. But when his past comes to haunt him, the young Prince must decide his fate: will he remain an outcast, or face his demons and become what he needs to be?   ~IMDB

Really, the story wasn't that creative.   It was Shakespeare's Hamlet with lions.   However, it was a fun and entertaining take of the classic play.   The characters weren't the same as the play's, in personalities and looks (obviously).    I'm also sure that the great playwright didn't have quite as many jokes in his version.   ☺

This film is full of really fantastic animation.   The movie was the height of the Disney Renaissance, partly for its stunning views of the African wilderness.   From sunrises to starry nights, Disney portrayed the true beauty of Africa in every frame.   Also, "I Just Can't Wait to be King" is the most underrated animated sequence ever.   Just saying.

Elton John is very proud of (and obsessed with) this movie.   Every time I turn on Pandora, I get at least ten versions of him singing "Can You Feel The Love Tonight."   I'm pretty sure if he could go back, he'd insist that the film be like Tarzan in that none of the characters actually sing and it's just him singing while characters do things noiselessly.   I mean, can you blame him?   It's not every day you win an Oscar for music from an animated movie.

Final Rating

This movie is awesome.   I almost feel like saying "if you haven't seen this movie, you're not a true Disney fan."   (I won't be that mean.)   However, in the rare event that you haven't watched it, do so now, so I can't say anything to you.   Also, buy a Simba stuffed animal to watch it with.   And the soundtrack so you can sing to all the songs later.

Bonus Gif:

  1. "The Lion King" is probably my favorite animated Disney movie! It's humorous and fun, with great animation. :)

A PRD president gets grief from legislators of his own party

Zulay Rodríguez gets all shrieky in the legislature as she accuses immigration director Samira Gozaine of influence trafficking. President Cortizo rejected her call to fire Gozaine, leaving open the possibility that the National Assembly might investigate and act if it chooses to do so. Graphic taken from a National Assembly video and electronically altered by Eric Jackson.

Is the PRD cracking, or is it just a few flakes?

by Eric Jackson

Will they browbeat the president into ceding his power to hire and fire?

Years ago Laurentino “Nito” Cortizo was representing the mostly rural coastal circuit of Colon in the legislature when the body took up the case of magistrate José Manuel Faúndes, who was caught red-handed in two taped telephone conversations negotiating bribes to sway cases before Panama’s high court.

It turned out that most deputies voted to impeach Faúndes, but not the required two-thirds to convict. The tapes having been broadcast for any Panamanian who cared to do so to hear, the establishment was left in a quandary. It was resolved in the first instance by the other magistrates on the suspending Faúndes from taking part in decision and then by the legislature passing a mandatory 70-year-old retirement age to oust the old crook that way.

(The latter solution was applied to other branches of government and did some lasting harm to academic standards at the University of Panama with the ouster of some distinguished professors and unseemly office politics in the scrambles for their jobs.)

Now we have a National Assembly dominated by people who have stolen public funds, most notoriously but not only from the governmental parallel organization to the Panamanian Olympic Committee popularly known as PANDEPORTES. Legislators control both the supposedly non-governmental sports federation members of the Olympic Committee and their governmental purse strings via PANDEPORTES. Now that President Cortizo has announced austerity measures, activists of his Democratic Revolutionary Party (PRD) may be gathering in small groups in front of the presidential palace to demand jobs, but their best hopes are with the local governments and such dependencies of the National Assembly. The remaining athletes on the PANDEPORTES payroll are thus being fired to make room for people who campaigned for members of the legislature.

For a party with roots in social reforming militarism and membership in the Socialist International but long since become a political patronage machine without any particular set of beliefs, austerity becomes an existential crisis. Especially so, with the comptroller general and anti-corruption prosecutors having come across damning evidence and enough high court vacancies to be filled that the old non-aggression pact wherein the Supreme Court does not convict deputies and the National Assembly does not convict magistrates has a doubtful future.

Cortizo, in his public statements, has been careful not to intrude upon the turf of the legislators and local officials. But he hasn’t been giving them the money they have demanded and he’s not ceding any of his turf to them.

Leave it to the woman whom Cortizo beat in the presidential primary, a legislator who has steadfastly refused to account for the $100,000 she took from PANDEPORTES for an organization and program that by all indications available to the public have existed on paper only, to lead the offensive onto Cortizo’s turf. Zulay Rodríguez, the xenophobe firebrand, has some recordings wherein Samira Gozaine, director of Migracion, PRD stalwart and member of a prominent wealthy merchant family of the PRD persuasion. Gozaine boasts of the prerogatives of her job, which were exercised to waive the paper requirements for immigration of some businessmen for whom her cousin vouched as a friend.

To Rodríguez it’s a straightforward five to eight years in prison for influence peddling. It’s to be distinguished, somehow, from the case that got Zulay thrown off the bench. In that one she waived the statutory provision of no bail for drug defendants for the benefit of some Colombian suspects whom the DEA had been trailing and who made bail and promptly disappeared.

We don’t know the particulars of the people whom Samira let in. A gang of international pedophiles? People fleeing a region where it’s just not possible to get papers in order? Was a bribe paid? Were these friends of family from a place where Panama’s traditionally racist immigration laws don’t allow immigration?

The laws, administrative rather than penal in nature, have often been waived or bent both for corrupt and innocent reasons. Panama’s historic role in world peacemaking processes has often involved the waiver or this or that immigration requirement to let another country makes its arrangements without the complicating presence of a former strongman.

But to Zulay, Samira’s a crook who must be removed. In her patented screeching way, she got up in the legislative chamber and demanded this.

And Cortizo said no. Allowing that the legislature might make some moves of its own account that would be beyond his control, he didn’t much defend Samira, nor did he talk about the particulars of the situation. He just said no.

Attendance was relatively good on this occasion. There is a big ongoing argument between the small MOVIN caucus and their colleagues from the parties about whether those deputies who are absent for a given session should get their pay docked for not being there. It seems like a good idea to the independents, but the rest think that so long as enough deputies or their suplentes show up to make a quorum there is no foul for which anyone should be penalzed. Photo by and of the Asamblea Nacional.

Will they browbeat the administration into making the foreigners pay?

Meanwhile, the xenophobe crowd in the legislature’s PRD – MOLIRENA alliance is both determined to make the foreigners pay and feuding with Panama’s richest family, the Mottas, who among other things own control of Copa Airlines and are backers of the Independent Movement (MOVIN), which has five seats in the 72-member legislature.

Iván Eskildsen, administrator of the Panama Tourism Authority, came to the legislature to report on matters in his purview, and was set upon by deputy Raúl Pineda. Pineda’s gripe? He is one of a group of 16 deputies sponsoring a proposal to tax airline passengers who just pass through Tocumen Airport without stopping here. Eskildsen has met with representatives of the Mottas’ company, Copa, but not with their faction. Pineda promises a housecleaning at the tourism authority due to Eskildsen’s lack of support for the tax proposal. But Eskildsen protested that the tax is a matter for the Civil Aeronautics Authority and thus not in his bailiwick. He pointed out that there are reasons for tourism officials to meet with the nation’s principal airline.

The former president of the National Assembly, Cambio Democratico member Yanibel Ábrego, came to her PRD colleague Pineda’s assistance. She pointed out to Copa getting gates in the airport’s new concourse, and to a US carrier getting some of the gates. Deputy Miguel Fanovich, of the PRD coalition junior partner Nationalist Republican Liberal Movement (MOLIRENA), jumped in to advocate the legislature paralyzing the tourism councils, which he said are costly and have dirtied Ekildsen’s hands.

All reason, it was more or less suggested, to treat someone who had met with the Mottas as a serious traitor.

Of course, the entire tourism industry is against that tax and against the venom that some of the legislators are spitting at foreigners in general. By all conventional measures, these are not good ways to attract tourists to visit Panama or international airlines to use Tocumen as a hub.

And 16 deputies? Less than half of the number required to pass the proposed tax. About one-third of which would be needed to convict someone from the executive or judicial branch in an impeachment trial. But enough to leave Cortizo without a majority supporting him in the legislature if they bolt.

We will know soon enough, but do not expect the president to fire Eskildsen to humor Raúl Pineda et al.

Easy Ways to Deal With Disobedient Kids!

Dealing with disobedient kids is a very common problem which most of the parents face these days and it becomes a very tough task to teach discipline and obedience to such kids. Parents often yell, lecture, scold or spank children out of frustration or else punish them for disobedience, but this is not really the solution because this makes a negative impression in your child’s mind about you. Children are too immature to understand that you are scolding them for their development and tend to keep negativity in mind. Hence, follow he below given tips to deal with disobedient kids:

  • Give attention to good behavior and praise them for it or give small rewards. You can also touch the child lovingly or give a pat on the back. This will automatically promote good behavior of the child.
  • Instead of scolding the child or stopping them from bad behavior by yelling at them, explain them the positive alternative and lead them to behave according to it. If they do so, praise them. This way, there would be lesser negativity in the minds of the child.
  • Be enthusiastic about their good behavior. Let them know how happy you are when they obey you and ignore them when they behave disobediently.
  • Play reward games or point games. Give them points for good behavior and cancel the points when they disobey. If their good behavior points are more, give them a reward. This way, the children will understand the importance of obedience and discipline.
  • Do not repeat your instructions. It is seen that more you pressurize your child with repeated instructions, they tend to disobey more. Instead, make a request to them and do it only once. Let them know that you are not giving them a lot of attention when they disobey.
  • Walk away from annoying behavior instead of yelling at the child over it. Initially, your child may throw more tantrums but later, they will understand that disobedience is not helping them anymore.
  • Stay calm so that your child stays calm too. If you shout, they would shout too.
  • Do not give long punishments as this severely affects the child’s mind. Make the punishments brief. At the same time, make sure that the punishment is not too harsh because it is a big misconception that harsh punishments work better. You can take a toy away or cancel an ice cream for the weekend but do not do anything severe than this.

On the History Highway, Day 14

FREDERICKSBURG, Virginia— On our way from Williamsburg to Fredericksburg today, we decided to pause in Richmond to catch a couple of places we missed when we were there over the weekend.  Our first stop was the historic St. John's Church, the site of one of the most famous speeches in American history.

St. John's Church
Built in 1741 and still an active Episcopal church, St. John's Church was the location where Patrick Henry delivered his impassioned "Liberty or Death" speech to the Virginia Convention in 1775.  His speech was credited with tipping the balance in persuading the Virginia legislature to send troops to fight against the British and become part of the revolution against the monarchy. When they joined Massachusetts in this effort, it became a national movement, rather than a regional one.

St. John's interior
As we arrived at the church, three Richmond school buses were loading up a herd of sixth graders who had just experienced a powerful history lesson.   Today these middle schoolers sat in the pews where the convention delegates met while professional actors in 1770s attire portrayed delegates, recreating some of the debates and arguments of that meeting.  The reenactment ended with Patrick Henry's immortal "Give me liberty or give me death!" speech.  Think that might be more memorable than reading the social studies book?  In addition to these educational performances, public reenactments are performed each summer Sunday and on the anniversary of the speech.

From the church, we made our way to Monument Avenue.  Extending nearly five miles from downtown Richmond westward, Monument Avenue is a grand tree-lined boulevard populated with gracious homes, churches and apartment buildings of architectural significance.  At regular intervals on the grassy mall that divides the lanes of the street stand imposing statues of Confederate leaders.

The street was conceived as planners sought an appropriate site for a Robert E. Lee memorial after his death in 1870.  Once Lee's memorial was unveiled in 1890, construction began on the additional monuments. The final list also included Confederate President Jefferson Davis, Generals J.E.B. Stuart and Stonewall Jackson, and Navy leader Matthew Maury with the last statue unveiled in 1929.

L to R:  Stonewall Jackson, Arthur Ashe, Robert E. Lee
Controversy erupted in the 1990s when a group of citizens proposed adding a statue of the ground-breaking African American tennis player and Richmond native son Arthur Ashe to Monument Avenue.  Opposition came from both supporters of Ashe, who didn't want to see him memorialized amidst those who fought to preserve slavery and from those who wanted to maintain the avenue's purity as a Confederate shrine.  In the end, Ashe's statue was added to the avenue.

Leaving Richmond behind, we drove to the coastal Westmoreland County, the birthplace of several early American leaders.  One the way, we couldn't resist stopping for a letterbox at the location where John Wilkes Booth met his demise.  With that delay, it was 3:30 by the time we reached our first stop on the Westmoreland famous sons tour— Stratford Hall, the stately home of four generations of the Lee family.  Built in the 1730s, Stratford Hall sits on 1,900 acres along the Potomac River.  In 1807, Robert E. Lee was born here, and according to Martha, our very knowledgeable tour guide, he spent only four years on the plantation before his spendthrift father landed in debtor's prison and lost the estate.

Stratford Hall
Leaving Stratford after 4:00, we dashed nine miles over to the George Washington Birthplace National Monument.  Significantly more modest than the majestic shrine erected at the location of Lincoln's log cabin birthplace, the Washington site includes an outline showing where the house of his birth once stood and replicas of a typical colonial house and garden.  Nearby are a memorial obelisk and the family burial ground.

Representative colonial house on Washington property
We didn't have the opportunity to explore all the grounds because we wanted to see the spot where Westmoreland hero #3 on our tour came into the world.  Another nine miles got us there, on James Monroe Highway.  Although Monroe contributed significant accomplishments to the American fabric, he lacked the glamour of the military exploits of Washington and Lee.  No more than a simple roadside park with a small visitor center and a minor obelisk, Monroe's birthplace paled in comparison to even the Washington site.

James Monroe Birthplace
After this whirlwind tour of these locations, we arrived in Fredericksburg about 6:15, just in time to get stopped in a traffic snarl created by an overturned tractor trailer.  Too late and tired to start on the many Fredericksburg sites today, we finally made it to the local Bravo Cucina for dinner before falling into bed.

 "Thanks a lot for ticking me off!"

Oakley Golf Shirts For Sale

After first being spotted in the province last year. Experts are now trying to determine how many nests might be in the ground and where they might be. Agriculture ministry said. My father always loved America even though he had never been anywhere near there. He was fascinated by Buffalo Bill and Anne Oakley and so on. I have looked to see if any of our relatives went to live there, and was surprised to find a few had headed out to Canada many years ago!.

Chaundre Hall Broomfield, who plays the hulking Hercules Mulligan and the conniving James Madison, is the most natural rapper in the cast. Bryson Bruce struts amiably as the Marquis de Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson. Peter Matthew Smith rolls his “R”s menacingly as King George III.

U. S. Officials tell CNN. UCLA Center X education researchers Julie Flapan, Jane Margolis and Jean Ryoo were awarded a four year $2M National Science Foundation grant to create a Networked Improvement Community (NIC) to scale teacher professional development, build the capacity of education leaders for local implementation, and contribute to the research base on expanding equity minded computer science (CS) teaching and learning opportunities across the state. California is the sixth largest economy in the world and a “majority minority” state with over 60% of its six million public school students identifying as students of color. The state’s size and diversity require a systemic approach to increasing CS opportunities for low income students, Latinx, African American and Native American students, English language learners, and students with special needs.

That why I like Khan: for every concept, they give you exercises you can do to the point of mastery. I not sure how far it will take you, but the goal is building intuition. Again, beginner mindset is important. Be effective interdisciplinary engineers and problem solvers.2. Be well educated in the basic engineering sciences and fundamentals of mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering.3. Be able to use engineering tools that will enhance their productivity.4.

Innovations educated in a fun way. Everything is designed to be a game or competition. So, while guests are trying to win, or score more points than the other person, they are learning about saving the environment, safety, and technological advances.

Tanners Lane is small quiet lane south of East End. It gives some access to the shore of the western Solent. In fact it is the only place between Lymington and Lepe Beach where the public can get access to part of a very private coast. “Why in the world would anyone choose to become a PoliceOfficer in our society today?” Hal Marx, mayor of Petal, about 90 miles southeast of Jackson, tweeted Tuesday, the same day four Minneapolis police officers involved in detaining Floyd were fired.Floyd, 46, who was black, died in Minneapolis police custody after a white officer, Derek Chauvin, pinned him to the ground and put his knee on his neck for about eight minutes. Chauvin was arrested Friday and charged with third degree murder and manslaughter.In a follow up tweet, Marx said: “If you are talking about the incident in MN, I didn’t see anything unreasonable.

Quality and Profits: Reforming International Recruitment

This has been a difficult year for the private sector HE in the UK: The visa regulation changes have started to bite, and the International students have more or less decided to abandon the private sector colleges in the middle of all the uncertainty. The fact that the students can not work part time if they are studying in a private sector college, even when they are studying an university level course (such as an MBA) but can work if they go to a public sector university, is hurting the most. Seen together, the legislation is a cynical attempt to force the private sector colleges to close. The government has been reasonably successful in attaining this goal: A number of private colleges have indeed closed leaving their students unserviced. This has created further uncertainty among the students and the student recruitment for the private sector has completely dried up. This has now taken the shape of a self-perpetuating cycle: Private colleges are closing because they can't recruit the students, and students are not coming because the private colleges are closing.

For me, this is an interesting time to be in charge of the Higher Education section of a medium size private college. We are not big enough to be above trouble, but are not small and can sustain through the lean time. The conscious strategy that we have adopted is not to bang our heads on the brick wall - so we are not trying to recruit the students which is bound to result in disappointment - but rather forcing ourselves to look around. So far, we have been reasonably successful in diversifying: We have received funding for our work-based learning programmes, and put renewed effort and focus on our professional courses, which mostly recruit locally. What we achieved through these twin channels is the continued survival of the college for some time to come, time enough for us to meet the new quality and compliance benchmarks - the guarantees that an international student can believe in. As a team, we can be reasonably proud of this strategy as this ensured that the college will continue trading without recruiting a single student from overseas: Time now to begin the next phase of rebuilding the college.

That starts with rebuilding the recruitment channel for the college. The past practises of agency-based recruitment will not do. In the past, colleges passed down the financial risks to the agents, but agents passed up the compliance risks. In these lean and difficult times, neither the students nor the colleges can afford that model anymore. We started with a review of all our agents and their performance, not just in terms of business but also compliance, looking at students from which agents have been delinquent and accordingly rating the agencies. After this, we terminated all the existing agency contracts and issued new contracts to a select few: The new contracts upped the rewards for recruitment but made it dependent on student performance and retention. Most agents didn't like it: However, we have already accepted that most of our recruitment will not come through agencies, but instead through progression arrangements and partnerships, and hence our stance on the new agency arrangements were non-negotiable.

Since then, we have put in work in building the channels of progression and partnerships, rather than passive recruitment. This is different from students walking through the doors wanting to come to UK. The model we are developing will require the students to study a large part of the programme in their home country, either through one of our international outlets, as we are setting up in Turkey, India and Poland, or in a partner college, as we are doing in some parts of India, Thailand and Philippines.

This indeed means I go back to my old life - that of travelling to different parts of the world building partnerships - but I am enjoying being part of this transition. Over the last eighteen month, my colleagues and me have transformed what was a largely unreformed college - British Private sector HE has been a fragmented, unorganised affair right up to now - into a leaner, strategically aligned business entity with bigger ambitions. The business remains small in size, having shrunk somewhat in the last six months or so, but this was intentional rather than unwarranted. The step change required us to close the gates and retool the entire offering, which we have now done. There are battles to fight still, and this journey was never easy: However, I feel confident that when, many years hence, I would look back at this phase of my life, I shall feel that I have achieved something of significance, learnt a great deal and experimented with models which will now become the norm rather than exception in a refashioned industry.

Our Mission: “Where little hands and feet are helping to build God’s Kingdom.”

Here at Thursday Church we are dedicated to teaching children about Jesus Christ and aiding in the development and growth in their faith in Jesus. Going beyond the walls of the Church, our Children’s Ministry seeks to reach out and make new disciples.

Thursday Evening Service:

Our Thursday evening services are a welcoming and fun time for children to learn about God in a safe environment. For the safety of our children, they are required to “check-in” prior to entering our Children’s Department at the Child-Check in station.

We have 5 classrooms in our Children’s Department on Thursday evenings. Children in preschool through grade five participate in three interactive centers during the service, which include Lesson, Craft, and Snack. Infants and toddlers are fed a snack and are allowed play time during the service.

The following classes are available on Thursdays:

  • Newborn to 18 months
  • 18 months to age 3
  • Preschool and Kindergarten
  • 1st and 2nd graders
  • 3rd, 4th, and 5th
Sunday Morning Service:

3 Classrooms Available:

  • Nursery: Newborn to Age 2
  • Barnyard: Ages 2 to 5 - Children have a Bible lesson, eat a snack, and play
  • Pathfinders Room: Kindergarten through 5th Grade - Children have a Bible lesson, game/craft, and snack

Please contact Nash Link, our Children’s Ministry Director, at 812-882-2737 for any questions or for further information.

“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.” 1 Timothy 4:12

Bicknell Campus

On Thursday evenings, children from Newborn through 5th grade are dismissed from the platform and meet at the back of the worship area.

"This adv really touched me. of how in relationships, love sometime fades. and you need to do something about it. i mean, of course u love each other but sometimes we are too busy with other things and moving on with our lives and we tend to neglect those small things that keep us close to each other."

Ahhh so true :') Me wanna cry watching this video *am I too sensitive or what?*
Thank you Ajjah for holding a contest...
...so that I have to find my favorite post you made (amongst all of your wonderful reviews and creative DIYs)... then I found this post. Thanks for sharing, Ajjah. Now I post this at my blog so that in future, if I need a remembrance, I could stop and go back to be wise, especially about the meaning of love :)

Love is not just a passive feeling. Love is an action.

a pair of shoes blues

a pair of shoes. a fullbag of memories
under these tropical trees
small bird says hi
then flies up high

i’m high
from the clove cigarettes i smoke
from a fullbag of memories
under these tropical trees

chair is making conversation
with a pair of shoes
light conversation
about poet and prophet
which one is closer to god?

a pair of shoes don’t care
they aren’t interested in astrology

chair wants to talk to small bird
yet small bird’s flown away and high

i’m high
from writing poetry under the banyan tree
and klengkeng and pine
tropical trees

my tropical cigarette’s still burning
still smoking. adrifting memories
captured in a clothbag
a blue clothbag

i’m blue
fullbag of memories and a pair
of shoes make me blue
as color of deep water
in the lake

in me

klengkeng = longan, dragon eye (Euphoria longan, Nephelium longana), a kind of tropical fruit

Emirates Airline deploying popular A380 aircraft on Guangzhou route

Emirates Airline

Emirates Airline will be deploying an A380 aircraft on its Guangzhou route on August 8, 2020.

The airline has resumed its A380 operations to Amsterdam and Cairo this week, and has introduced a second daily A380 service to London Heathrow, serving market demand and offering customers more travel options.

The Dubai-based carrier has so far resumed A380 services to five cities, and looking ahead, it will gradually expand the deployment of this popular aircraft in line with demand and operational approvals.

IMEX Frankfurt 2020

Travellers can now enjoy the Emirates A380 daily to Amsterdam, four times a week to Cairo, twice daily to London Heathrow, once daily to Paris and soon, once weekly to Guangzhou.

In the last seven days, Emirates Airline has also resumed routes from Dubai to Addis Ababa, Clark, Dar es Salaam, Nairobi, Prague, São Paulo, Stockholm and Seychelles.

Putting safety first, the airline is gradually expanding its passenger services to 68 cities in August, returning to 50 per cent of its pre-pandemic destination network. COVID-19 PCR tests are now compulsory for all inbound and transit passengers arriving in Dubai and the UAE, including UAE citizens, residents and tourists.

Meanwhile, customers can now travel with confidence, as the airline has committed to cover COVID-19 related medical expenses, free of charge, should they be diagnosed with COVID-19 during their travels. This is effective immediately until October 31 and is valid for 31 days from the moment they fly the first leg of their journey.
