What Is A Homework Calendar And How To Use It?

A homework calendar is a term that you will come across from time to time especially if you are

looking for help on how to organize yourself and your assignments. Over the years there was a time when these were rather uncommon in the learning environment. However, upon noticing some of the challenges that students go through, it became easier and clearer for a lot of students that there is so much to be done here, and with time, there have sprung up lots of such calendars to assist them.

In the event that you are trying to find yourself a good calendar to work with, there are a number of things that you need to think about. One of the first of these is how you can get access to some of these calendars, and most importantly how to make good use of it.

Ideally every student is supposed to have one of these calendars at home, or in school. The reason for this is because of the fact that with these calendars, it becomes a lot easier for the student to take some time and get prepared for the task that lies ahead. If you can do this, chances are high that yours will never be one of those troubling moments again when it comes to dealing with your homework.

The following are a few ideas that you should think about when you are planning on how to use these calendars:

  1. Organize your schedule
  2. Plan your assignments properly
  3. Leave nothing undone
  • Organize your schedule
  • One of the first things that you will be able to learn from the experience of using the calendar is that it essentially makes your work easier in organizing your schedule. There is nothing that will be easier for you to do than this, so try and make good use of it.

  • Plan your assignments properly
  • With the calendar to work with, you are able to organize your schedule in such a manner that you have all your assignments planned out. This means that you will already know what to do on which date and at what time.

  • Leave nothing undone
  • No stone remains unturned when you are working with these calendars. You will never be one of those students who wake up in the morning and go to school only to learn that there is an assignment due that you might never even have known about.

A'ja Wilson earns WNBA Rookie of the Year honors

AP Basketball Writer

A'ja Wilson was mobbed by her USA Basketball teammates after practice when they were told she was the WNBA Rookie of the Year.

She won in a landslide as the unanimous choice. Wilson received all 39 votes from a national media panel.

"It means a lot with that rookie class," Wilson said. "There are so many great players."

The No. 1 pick in the draft this past April averaged 20.7 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.7 blocks for Las Vegas.

She had the second-highest scoring average for a rookie in league history, trailing only Seimone Augustus' 21.9 points in 2006.

Wilson is the second consecutive former Gamecock to win the award. Allisha Gray of Dallas won it last season.

"Everyone in America knows she was rookie of the year," Wilson's former coach Dawn Staley said.

Wilson scored in double figures in every game and had the Aces in the hunt for a playoff berth until the final weekend of the season.

She is currently playing with the U.S. national team and is in the mix to make the World Cup team.

Wilson headlined the league's All-Rookie team. She was joined by Ariel Atkins of Washington and Diamond DeShields of Chicago, who were both unanimous choices as well. Azura Stevens of Dallas and Kelsey Mitchell of Indiana rounded out the team.

Hi group, I have a VS-540 and the print head has just started printing faintly with streaking.  I've shaken the 8 cartridges (all have ink), did a routine weekly cleaning, then did a 'medium' cleaning.  It prints slightly darker (although not dark enough) now but still streaking.  Any ideas?

NATIVE Premiere: Patzy’s “Pat’s Chord Pool”

Patzy is nothing if not direct. The message of the band’s debut single, Pat’s Chord Pool, becomes abundantly clear when the first lyrics appear on screen (that’s right, folks—this is a sing-along): “No, not with this again / You’ve told me a thousand times / that you’re having the time of your life / so I’ll smile just like I’m having a ball.”

As someone who recently took some visiting friends downtown (on a Wednesday, no less—their idea, not mine), I understand why Patzy shot a majority of their video while meandering through a busy night on 2nd Ave. The place is the Mecca of pretending to enjoy yourself. Patzy’s right to suggest we would all do well to switch out our figurative masks for literal ones.

“Pat’s Chord Pool” churns between jovial and morose. It takes a special level of talent to sing “Someone tell me it’s okay / If I can’t get up today,” and have the listener gleefully hum along. That juxtaposition is what makes this song so special. We can’t wait to hear what Patzy has coming next.

Common Name(s): Obeche

Scientific Name: Triplochiton scleroxylon

Distribution: Tropical West Africa

obeche 600 x 600.jpg

Color/Appearance: Heartwood tends to be a pale yellow, with the sapwood not clearly differentiated from the heartwood. Colors darken slightly with age.

Grain/Texture: Grain is interlocked, with a medium to coarse texture and good natural luster.

Endgrain: Diffuse-porous; solitary and radial multiples; very large pores in no specific arrangement, very few; parenchyma vasicentric, diffuse-in-aggregates; narrow to wide rays, spacing normal.

Workability: Generally easy to work, though the interlocked grain can cause some rough surfaces in some machining operations. Carves, stains, glues, and finishes well.

Pricing/Availability: Lumber is sometimes available, though it’s primarily exported as veneer or plywood. Obeche is relatively inexpensive for an imported hardwood.

Sustainability: This wood species is not listed in the CITES Appendices, and is reported by the IUCN as being a species of least concern.

Common Uses: Veneer, plywood, carvings, furniture, and interior millwork.

Comments: This African hardwood is very soft and lightweight, but has a decent strength-to-weight ratio. It’s fairly stable in service, and its bland grain patterns are frequently stained a darker color.

Jan Wong launches hybrid cookbook memoir

Written by Sophie M. Lavoie on September 29, 2017

Jan Wong (left) answering questions at the Fredericton launch of her book, Apron Strings. Photo by Sophie M. Lavoie.

Saint Thomas University Journalism Professor and writer Jan Wong was at Kinsella Auditorium in Fredericton on Sept. 28, 2017, launching her more recent book Apron Strings: Navigating Food and Family in France, Italy, and China, published recently by New Brunswick-based Goose Lane Editions.

Wong was once called “the Hannibal lector of the lunch set” for her “Lunch with Jan” stories in the nineties. Goose Lane Editions’ Director, Suzanne Alexander, called her “a formidable interviewer” in her introduction. Wong’s former journalism student and CBC investigative reporter, Karissa Donkin, a graduate from 2012, turned the tables on Wong and interviewed the author about her book for the Fredericton crowd.

According to Wong, the origin of the book came from her deep desire to connect with her sons, the eldest of whom had recently decided to get married. So, Wong decided to look for a book project that would allow her to spend time with her younger “foodie” son, Sam, who had worked in restaurants since the age of sixteen and wanted to be a chef. She was also disappointed that she “could find hardly any books about mothers and sons” so she decided to write one.

One of the challenging lessons to learn over the course of the project for Wong was that her child was now a young man, despite her not having changed that much. Wong jokingly says that the key to getting along with her son was “dominance” and having fights. On a practical level, Sam helped her embed into the families they stayed with. As a result of this experience, Wong sees a change in Sam, who might not want to be a chef after his travels, in part because the Chinese families scorned at his hope to become a chef, a profession seen as a “lower class” endeavour.

More largely, Wong had ideas about the globalization of food trends, wanted to learn recipes, and needed to research the way families work now, among other questions addressed in her book. About the practical aspects of her work as a writer, Wong revealed that “when you’re a journalist, you have a notion and when you go out, everything changes.” Eventually, Wong also discovered that she was committing “reverse cultural appropriation,” since “people who look like [her] don’t usually write about European food.”

Wong lived with the families that she learned to cook with in her book. Without living with the families “you won’t know” things about the families, which was one of the thematic sidelines of the project. At times, Wong and her son would have welcomed a hotel stay because “it’s a strain to have guests and it’s a strain to be a guest.”

The French family, a retired couple who lived in a farmhouse in the Drome region, immediately invited Wong and her son to live with them. The family home was a sort of Spanish inn because they had welcomed a refugee Georgian family and some of the food was made by the helpers who assisted the wife’s elderly mother and their two adopted children with Down’s Syndrome. Wong even visited a food bank in France where the Georgian family “shopped” and told the crowd that the food it had “was delicious!”

The Piedmontese Italian family did not invite them to stay so Wong and her son were housed close by at a family member’s rental. The mother took Wong around to various families in order to lessen the pressure she felt of having to teach Wong all about Italian cooking. The Italians even resorted to making animal sounds to help her understand but they didn’t even try to understand Wong’s meagre Italian. During this part of the trip, Wong and her son “were imbued with all the food rules of the Italians,” even leading to a fight with her son about course order.

When they arrived in China, however, Wong and her son stayed in mansions with nouveau riche families who had maids and thought they would learn to cook Chinese food from the maids. However, the “tai tai,” the Chinese equivalent of the Stepford wives, wanted to teach her to cook while the maids actually did all the work. Sam was also passed off as a “celebrity chef” for the Chinese family who, because of their social status, “all wanted to eat white bread.”

Wong’s least favourite foods were the “insalata russa,” a Russian potato salad made in Italy, and the bland Georgian food made by the refugees in France. Wong’s book includes occasional recipes to reproduce some of the delicious specialized dishes she learned while on her trip. This is Wong’s sixth non-fiction book and the first about food.

There was heartbreak for the Southern Stings in their crucial match against the   the Free State Crinums, in their Brutal Fruit Netball Premier League (NPL) match at the Ellis Park Indoor Arena on Saturday night, when the defending champions came from behind to win by one goal.

The Stings were in the lead for most of the match.  At halftime, they were 17-13 ahead. For most of the second half, the Crinums were two goals behind, but with just over three minutes left, the Crinums drew level for the first time, on 30-all. The Stings scored again, and the Crinums drew level.  With seconds to go, Karla Mostert, back from playing in the English Super League, got the ball and passed to Maryke Holtzhausen, who took a running shot at the goal. The ball dropped in the net and the crowd, which had got behind the Crinums, erupted. The final score was 32-31.

The match was fast and furious, with both teams playing at a very high intensity.  The defenders on both sides did superbly.  The Stings’ goal defence, Rochelle Lawson, was named player of the match, but it could have gone to any of the four defenders.

“It was the toughest game of my life,” said Lawson.

“To come from winning and then lose in the final moments is heartbreaking. I would happily exchange my player of the match trophy for a win.”

Stings coach Annelie Lucas said she was very proud of her team.

“The players did well.  There were a few basic errors and you can’t be too disappointed when you’ve played in a game like that.

“Our loss means we don’t go straight through to the semifinals, but on the positive side, we have some more game time to prepare,” she said.

Holtzhausen said she practiced the running shot at goal, but had not expected to have to use it in a crucial situation such as this.

“We started quite slowly, but we’ve been in tough situations before so we didn’t panic.  The crowd got behind us, and that was fantastic,” she said.

“This is why we play netball – to play in matches like this.  It is far more satisfying than winning by 20 goals.”

The Stings’ loss means the Gauteng Jaguars go straight through to the semifinals in Durban next week.

In the final match of the day, the North West Flames retained their unbeaten record in the tournament with a decisive 65-48 victory over the Golden Fireballs. The Fireballs managed to keep close for the first quarter, after which the Flames just pulled away inexorably.  The Flames also go straight through to the semifinals.

“I was very happy with the start, because we haven’t been starting well,” said Fireballs coach Elsje Jordaan.

“But we let it slip in the second, and weren’t able to make up the lost ground. We created chances, but couldn’t capitalise on them.”

Flames coach Dorette Badenhorst said the Fireballs were not an easy team to play against.

“We had a brilliant second quarter, which we won by 19 goals to eight. I made some changes and they worked well.”

Earlier, the Jaguars welcomed back their Proteas goalshooter, Lenise Potgieter, who also returned home this week from playing in the English Super League.

The Stars started off very well, and for most of the first quarter, they traded goal for goal, with the Jaguars edging ahead 11-9 at the end of the quarter. After that, the Stars, playing as many Proteas as the Jaguars, seemed to lose focus and the Jaguars pulled away from them.  By halftime, the Jaguars had a 26-18 lead, and they extended that as the match went on.

The Eastern Cape Aloes beat a vastly improved Limpopo Baobabs  55-36 in the second match of the day.  Although the Aloes held the lead throughout the game, the Baobabs looked more in control and more creative than the previous week, when they had a demoralizing 79-28 loss to the North West Flames.

Player of the match, the Baobabs wing attack, Sylvia Lebelo, said the team had come to a point where they just knew they had to do better.

“We set goals for ourselves and worked hard to reach those goals.  We also listened better to what our coach. Cecilia Molokwane, was telling us, and we followed her instructions,” she said.

“The Baobabs played well,” said Aloes coach Des Neville.

“I was pleased with my team’s intensity, which they maintained throughout the match.  They are beginning to trust each other and to play as a team.  Next year we will have to make sure that they get together more beforehand.”

The tournament moves to Durban next week, for the quarterfinals and semifinals.  The bottom four teams will play for positions seven to 10.

Category — Appeal to man’s better instincts

“Thou shalt not steal” by Rev. Theodore Pitcairn

“Thou Shalt Not Steal”

We read: “Amen, amen, I say unto you, he that entereth not by the door into sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before Me are thieves and robbers. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill and to destroy. I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly.” (John 10: 1, 7-10)

All goods and truths which a man has from the Word and the Church out of his own will and his own understanding are stolen things, in which the Lord is not present, and which therefore lack an internal. Wherefore we read: “If the rational is consulted the Doctrine becomes null and void.” Unless a man has given up the life of his proprial will and understanding he always consults his rational, and then ail things from the Word and from the Doctrine of the Church are with him stolen things, an external without an internal.

Do we not see with every man, that strong tendency to steal. In churches generally, we see an effort to increase the Church in numbers, power and prestige, by appealing to the proprial will and understanding of men and women. Appeals are made to the natural affections, and the intel-lect is flattered. Or where this is not done, threats and anathema, are used to inspire fear, fear of hell, and fear of losing the pleasures of heaven. Let us not think that we are free of such dangers.

We are told that the devils are not averse to worshipping God the Father, but they are averse to the Lord in His Divine Human. The Father is the Lord the Creator, the Divine Human is the Lord the Redeemer. Man is not averse to acknowledging God the Creator, but he is, by hereditary nature, averse to acknowledging the Lord the Redeemer, for he is averse to Redemption. He is not willing, from his proprium, to acknowledge that, “A total damnation stands before the door and threatens.” The door of both his will and understanding, for he trusts in the rationality he has from creation and in his instinctive good feelings, which he has from birth. To give up trust in these is to give up his life, and this he does not easily do.

There is an expression commonly used, “appealing to a man’s better instincts,” such an expression implies a climbing up some other way like a thief and a robber, and not entering through the door, that is the Lord Who is the door. The man of the Most Ancient Church did indeed have human instincts by creation, instincts of love into Good and towards his neighbor, for he was born into the order of his life. We are not born into the order of our life, and if we appeal to man’s better instincts, we climb up some other way, and come to apparent goods and truths, which are only externals without internals. Man’s internals are formed by innocence from the Lord, and a man cannot be in innocence from the Lord unless he believes, that it is solely by the Lord’s undergoing temptation in him, and by His overcoming and subjugating the hells which rule in him, that he can be saved. The moment a man loses this perception he is a thief and steals.

Every young man and woman is given gifts from the Lord: the young man particularly, a kind of youthful understanding of truth, an enthusiasm for it, and a youthful ideal of usefulness.

But the young man begins to steal the understanding of the truths he has been given and make them favor himself, and his own ends. He loses the innocence of youth, and thus the internal is stolen away. He must then look to the Lord for a new understanding in which there can be formed a new good of innocence, and must repent of his theft.

Product Review: Newman's Own Lighten Up Low Fat Sesame Ginger Dressing

I adore salads and love finding new ways to enjoy them. Recently, I was looking for a low-fat Asian style dressing. I stood in the salad dressing aisle at my local grocery store reading labels. I was stunned. Every brand of low-fat Asian style dressing had an ingredient list that read like a science lab manual. I couldn't decipher most of the ingredients but MSG, corn syrup and hydrogentated fat stood out.

When I picked up Newman's Own Lighten Up Low Fat Sesame Ginger Dressing, I knew I had found a winner. The ingredients are things I use in my own kitchen: soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic and onion. And the nutritional profile is great: just 35 tiny calories in a two tablespoon serving -- plenty to dress a salad.

At home I prepared a salad of Boston Crunch lettuce, shredded red cabbage, grated carrots, celery, sliced green onion and chopped peanuts. I drizzled on some of the Newman's Own Lighten Up Low Fat Sesame Ginger Dressing... and WOW!

This is a truly great vegan dressing that will jazz up your winter salads. You've got to try it!

Veggie Hero: Susan Neulist

My favorite advocacy groups is Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and one of their best outreach efforts is The Cancer Project, which hosts outstanding cooking classes. I took one last year led by Susan Neulist. Susan is a Veggie Hero for sure and she recently moved to my home town of Asheville. She's been teaching cooking classes for The Cancer Project for more than two years.

* Are you vegetarian or vegan?

* How long have you been veg*n?
I have been vegan for approximately 12 years and vegetarian for 4-5 years before that.

* What inspired you to go veg?
I was inspired by T. Colin Campbell and his research on the China Project. I was living in Ithaca and my sister-in-law, Marilyn, was his assistant for many years at Cornell University. After hearing his thoughts and information it just seemed like the most sensible way to eat, for my health and for the health of the planet. Through the years I find so many reasons including health and environment – animals and also for my spirituality.

* What's your best story of trying to find veg food?
I guess the biggest challenge for me was hiking the Inca Trail in Peru. Meals were prepared for us along the way by wonderful Peruvians but not always were they clearly vegan. I did my best and ate lots of quinoa and vegetables. The interesting thing was that of the 13 folks who were on the trail with us, the ones that were not vegetarians were the ones who got very sick – must have been some meat somewhere that caused the illnesses.

* How do you handle family holiday dinners?
The easiest way is for me to make many of the parts of meals myself and mostly my extended family likes whatever I make. I have made large Thanksgiving dinners in the past that were vegan and it always goes well. Over half my family is vegetarian which of course, makes it easier. Since I enjoy cooking and serving it is easy for me to make things that people love. My dear husband, Richard loves everything I make and recently he has begun to enjoy cooking too – which makes me happy.

* What's your favorite veg food? I guess my favorite is salads – with lots of things in it – seeds, nuts and vegetables. Sometimes with beans too. My favorite cooked vegetable is sweet potatoes – with ginger! Yum….

* Do you have a favorite veg book?
I guess presently the one I use the most is "Vegetarian Cooking Under Pressure" because I love using a pressure cooker. I also like the "Survivor's Handbook" put out by The Cancer Project. This is the handbook that I use for my cooking classes and it has loads of great, simple vegan recipes. You can see this book online at

* Tofu or tempeh?
Tempeh, though I do not cook it often myself. I love it when I go to restaurants.

* What did you have for breakfast today?
Eight grain cereal made with sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and served with some raisins and banana. My husband and I eat this at least four days each week.

Off to Grad School

Well, my dear readers, I started graduate school tonight. And I'm still working full-time. And I do value a few hours with my family and friends....

So, where does this blog fall into the picture? I'm not sure. If I have a push from you to continue, I will... even if it is sporadic.

Oatmeal Rocks!

Newswise (01/09/08) — A new scientific review of the most current research shows the link between eating oatmeal and cholesterol reduction to be stronger than when the FDA initially approved the health claim's appearance on food labels in 1997.

Dr. James W. Anderson, professor of medicine and clinical nutrition at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine, co-authors "The Oatmeal-Cholesterol Connection: 10 Years Later" in the January/February 2008 issue of the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine.

Anderson presents a contemporary analysis to determine if newer studies are consistent with the original conclusion reached by the FDA. His report says studies conducted during the past 15 years have, without exception, shown:

• total cholesterol levels are lowered through oat consumption;

• low-density lipoprotein (LDL, the "bad" cholesterol) is reduced without adverse effects on high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL, the "good" cholesterol), or triglyceride concentrations.

"Whole-grain products like oatmeal are among some of the best foods one can eat to improve cholesterol levels, in addition to other lifestyle choices," Anderson said. "Lifestyle choices, such as diet, should be the first line of therapy for most patients with moderate cholesterol risk given the expense, safety concerns, and intolerance related to cholesterol lowering drugs.”

More recent data indicate that whole-grain oats, as part of a lifestyle management program, may confer health benefits that extend beyond total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol reduction, Anderson said.

Recent studies suggest eating oatmeal may:

• Reduce the risk for elevated blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, and weight gain

• Reduce LDL cholesterol during weight-loss

• Provide favorable changes in the physical characteristics of LDL cholesterol particles, making them less susceptible to oxidation (oxidation is thought to lead to hardening of the arteries.)

• Supply unique compounds that may lead to reducing early hardening of the arteries

“Since the 80’s, oatmeal has been scientifically recognized for its heart health benefits, and the latest research shows this evidence endures the test of time and should be embraced as a lifestyle option for the millions of Americans at-risk for heart disease,” said Anderson.

S Korea urges hostages' release
Relatives of hostages wait for news - 24/07/2007
South Korea has banned travel to Afghanistan

South Korea is stepping up efforts to secure the release of 22 of its people taken hostage in Afghanistan.

The Seoul government condemned the Taleban for the death of one of the hostages on Wednesday, and sent an envoy to negotiate the others' release.

However a Taleban commander called the abduction of foreigners, to be traded for Taleban prisoners, "a very successful policy".

The hostages were abducted in Ghazni, south-west of Kabul, one week ago.

Increasing unrest

Afghan government officials in Ghazni province where the Koreans are being held confirmed on Thursday that the 22 hostages are still alive.

Following an increase in insurgent attacks, Afghan police have banned foreigners from travelling outside Kabul without their permission, Associated Press news agency said.

There have been increases in kidnappings, as well as clashes between Taleban and foreign troops, roadside bombings and suicide attacks in recent months.

After the mass kidnapping, South Korea banned its citizens from travelling to Afghanistan.

But the Taleban's military commander Mansour Dadullah told Britain's Channel 4 television that kidnapping would continue.

"Of course, kidnapping is a very successful policy and I order all my mujahideen to kidnap foreigners of any nationality wherever they find them and then we should do the same kind of deal," he said.

Mr Dadullah himself was freed with four other Taleban members in exchange for a kidnapped Italian journalist earlier this year.

He also said he was in close contact with al-Qaeda.

'Inhumane act'

The South Koreans - most of them women - are members of a Christian group doing aid work.

The body of one of the hostages was found with multiple bullet wounds in Ghazni province - where the Koreans are being held.

South Korea's foreign ministry identified the man as Bae Hyung-kyu, 42, a church pastor and leader of the group.

Afghanistan map

A statement from the office of South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun condemned the killing as an "inhumane act".

"Murder of an innocent civilian can never be justified.

"In consideration of such a grave situation, the government decided to despatch a special envoy to Afghanistan for closer consultations with the Afghan government," the statement said.

"We once again strongly urge them to promptly return home the Korean citizens taken hostage."

The Taleban said it would start killing the hostages if a deadline on Wednesday passed without their demands being met. However, a spokesman said on Thursday that the remaining hostages were still alive.

There was no way of confirming if that was true.

Baek Jong-chun, the president's chief security adviser, is to fly to Afghanistan on Thursday to work with the Afghan government to try to secure the hostages' release.

Lexington, Ky.

Textiles play a major role in customer satisfaction in the healthcare and hospitality industries. The University of Kentucky Textiles Testing Laboratory helps these industries ensure customer demands are met. It recently celebrated its 30th year of doing so through continuous funding from the Association for Linen Management.

“The appearance of the textiles affects the overall quality of the experience, whether it is a patient’s stay in the hospital or the guest in a hotel room, said Elizabeth Easter, professor in the UK Department of Retailing and Tourism Management. “It is the responsibility of the textile care manager to maintain the aesthetics in addition to the durability of the textiles.”

The association is dedicated to the professional development of personnel in the textile care industry. Members of the association are textile care managers in hospitals, nursing homes, resorts and hotels.

The partnership between the UK lab and the association began when Easter started teaching textile classes in the association’s Laundry and Linen College, its training and educational program for linen managers. The lab, housed in the UK College of Agriculture, Food and Environment, provides the association’s members with a test piece service. The test piece is a quality control tool, which enables linen managers to monitor the ability to maintain aesthetically pleasing and durable textiles. Preparation and evaluation of the test piece is conducted by UK graduate and undergraduate student lab technicians. They measure the tensile strength of the test piece to determine durability and the whiteness index for aesthetics.

Since the lab began, the association has provided more than $880,000 to UK, which has enabled Easter to hire research assistants and lab technicians. Easter said the test piece service provides students an opportunity to work directly with industry and to gain textile testing experience. The industry has hired students based on their work experience in the Textile Testing Lab.
