This information is targeted for younger children (kindergarten, 1st, 2nd grade) who are learning to read. For information targeted to preschoolers see the article Starting Preschoolers off; Building Essential Pre-Reading Skills. For information targeted to struggling readers 3rd grade and older see the article Elements of an Effective <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Reading Remediation Program.
1. Teach All Skills Directly: Always explicitly teach the child exactly what they need to know. Never leave it to chance for a child to discover essential elements on his own. Direct instruction prevents situations where the child does not learn simply because they inadvertently missed essential information or skills. While some students may be able to learn with indirect, analytic, embedded or incidental approaches, many do not. Statistically the majority of children fail to learn to read with indirect and embedded instructional methods. At best, these methods are inefficient. To maximize effectiveness and efficiency all skills should be directly taught to the child. Direct instruction helps insure the child learns all necessary skills.
2. Teach In a Systematic Manner: Present information in a deliberate, pre-planned carefully controlled manner. This step-by-step instruction allows the child time to practice and master individual skills before additional information and complexities are taught. Start simple. Introduce new skills and knowledge a bit at a time, adding complexity as the child learns. The English language is complex. Systematic presentation helps children manage and master the complexities. A carefully designed program that directly teaches the complete code and progressively builds skills and knowledge in a direct systematic manner prevents the chaos and confusion that is created when you toss the entire complex English language at the child at one time. Systematic presentation helps the student make sense of our complex written language. The purpose of a carefully controlled systematic presentation is to help the child learn. This systematic presentation is especially important for young children.
3. Always Provide Immediate Correction: Do not allow the child to learn or practice skills incorrectly. Immediate correction is critical to helping the child develop necessary skills. It is a disservice to allow a student to perform a skill incorrectly. It is always easier to learn the correct way than to try and unlearn erroneous habits. If the child can not correct himself, or does not understand then you need to teach them the skill they are lacking. As the teacher, it is your job to ensure the child is learning correctly. Correction is NOT a negative action but rather a positive opportunity to help the student learn correctly. Always help the child learn correctly!
4. Develop Phonemic Awareness: Directly develop phonemic awareness skills. Although some children have a definite natural phonological weakness, phonemic awareness (PA) can be taught and learned. The scientific evidence proves that PA instruction has a significant positive effect on both reading and spelling. Directly teach the child how to hear, recognize and manipulate sounds within words. To maximize effectiveness the program needs to directly link the oral phonemic awareness skills directly to the printed phonemic code (sound to print).
5. Develop and Engrain Proper Tracking: It is essential the child develops and engrains proper directional tracking where they process letters in order from left to right when they read. It is especially important to directly teach and emphasize proper directional tracking from the beginning. If the child does not track left to right they will struggle with reading. Avoid incorrect strategies that lead to reading difficulty by requiring direct work on proper tracking skills. Physical pointing, with either the finger, is a highly effective way to directly teach this critical skill. The multisensory benefits of having the child physically move their finger (kinetic motion) develops and engrains this essential subskill.. Be sure the child processes all the letters in a word in order from left to right. Teach this essential skill until proper tracking is automatic.
6. Teach Smooth Blending: The skill of smoothly blending individual sounds together into words is critical. The child needs to learn how to combine the sounds smoothly without pausing between the sounds. The instructor needs to always demonstrate the correct blending technique of not pausing between the sounds. Choppy/segmented sounding out makes it very difficult for children to push the sounds back together into a word. They might know all the individual sounds but by the time they get to the end of the word with separated choppy sounding out they forget what sounds they just said or add in extra sounds when they try to put it all together. If the child keeps the sounds smoothly �hooked� together, the word doesn�t �fall apart�. It is important to directly teach smooth blending and help the child develop this essential skill. See the article Blending Explained �for additional information.
The child needs to look at the black printed letter(s) and immediately and directly know and process the correct sound Teaching activities should establish this direct accurate print = correct sound efficient processing. The sound knowledge needs to be direct, automatic, and phonetically correct print to sound. Avoid indirect processing as it is inefficient and makes reading harder for the child. Use direct accurate print to sound instruction. Systematically present phonograms to the child and allow the child time to practice so the sound knowledge becomes automatic. An effective program helps the child acquire automatic, direct knowledge of the complete phonemic code, an essential skill for proficient phonologic processing.
Additional information is found in The Building Blocks of Written English-The Phonemic Code.
8. Use Targeted Multisensory Processes: Multisensory processes refer to utilizing the different senses to aid learning. The general concept is we learn and remember more when we involve multiple senses including visual processes (pictures, �seeing� images), auditory/oral processes (listening and talking), and physical/kinetic processes (motion, hands on, doing). Multisensory instruction applies two or more of these senses to enhance learning. However, to be effective in developing reading skills these multisensory activities must be carefully targeted. Multi-sensory approaches in themselves will not help a student learn to read unless they directly build the exact skills necessary for proficient reading. Effective multisensory activities directly teach correct directional tracking, develop phonemic awareness, create a direct and automatic link between print and sound, teach smooth blending, and establish correct proficient phonologic processing. It is not the multisensory process itself but the application of these multi-sensory processes to the development of specific skills that is key to enhanced learning.
For instance, neural research clearly identifies the direct link between print and sound is necessary to develop proficient reading pathways. This automatic direct link between printed letter and the correct sound is the required skill activities need to target. An effective multisensory instructional activity is having the student write the printed letter while saying the sound. This simple action directly links the motion of forming the printed letter (kinetic), image of the completed letter (visual) to saying and hearing the correct sound (auditory). This targeted application and integration of the multisensory processes is highly effective in helping the student learn the necessary skill.
In contrast, multisensory activities that are not targeted to develop necessary skills (based on the science of proficient reading) have limited benefit. Activities can even be detrimental if they unintentionally create incorrect processing or utilize energy for unnecessary indirect efforts. A jumping jack, dance or hand sign are misguided application of the kinetic process because these motions are unrelated to skills necessary for reading print. These activities may actually develop indirect, inefficient processing. We know auditory and oral processes of saying and hearing sounds are critical to phonologic processing. However, saying sounds incorrectly, practicing sounds without linking them visually to the printed letters, orally chanting words or singing songs will not directly develop necessary skills of converting printed letters to their correct sound, blending these sounds into words and developing phonologic processing pathways. Similarly, looking at objects or images, color coding, and other such unrelated visual activities are misguided. Teaching a student to visual �recognize� words by their overall appearance (sight word approach) can be detrimental because it undermines the phonologic processing essential for proficient reading. Remember to be effective, multisensory activities must focus on developing necessary skills.
Mixed in with the multisensory instruction, there is often a good deal of discourse about �multiple intelligence� and �multiple learning styles�. These terms refer to theories about how individuals have specific strengths and how some children learn better with certain styles. This theory professes views such as a student with strong �visual intelligence� learns better with visual instructional approaches and a student with strong �auditory intelligence� learns best with oral instructional methods. It is very important to realize while individuals absolutely do have specific strengths, this does not mean that proficient reading is achieved by many different pathways. The neural science is clear. To read proficiently the student must convert print to sound and develop phonologic processing pathways. An assumption such as strong visual learners would best learn to read using visual processing completely ignores the science of proficient reading. In fact, this false assumption is most detrimental to the students with the naturally strong �visual intelligence� and weak phonemic awareness as these students are least likely to develop the necessary phonemic processing on their own. Instruction that encourages the use of visual processing actually leads these strong �visual� students further down the incorrect processing pathways. Reading instruction needs to be designed to develop the specific skills necessary for proficient reading.
An individual�s unique strengths and weaknesses make it even more important to directly develop necessary skills. It is especially important to specifically teach, emphasize and develop strong phonemic processing skills in students who are naturally weakest in these areas. Left on their own, many students with poor phonemic awareness rely on their natural strengths and fail to develop necessary phonologic processing pathways. It is also important to realize building a student�s skills for proficient reading never negates or somehow minimizes their other natural strengths. For instance, if a student has strong visual skills, developing their phonemic awareness and teaching them to read with phonologic processing skills will not eliminate their strong visual skills. It will simply teach them to apply phonologic processing when reading. Effective reading instruction is not designed to match an individuals existing strengths but rather designed to intentionally develop and build skills and processes necessary for proficient reading.
In summary, multi-sensory activities are effective tools in helping students learn to read. However, these activities must be carefully designed and targeted to directly teach and reinforce the skill/knowledge necessary for proficient reading. While students may naturally have specific learning strengths and weaknesses, proficient reading requires the development of phonologic processing pathways. Effective reading programs use a variety of carefully designed and targeted multi-sensory activities to directly teach and develop the skills necessary for proficient reading.
9. Emphasize Attention to Detail: To read proficiently, the child needs to learn to pay attention to detail. Teach the child to carefully look at all the sounds within a word and stop him immediately if he skips details. This emphasis on attention to detail is important from the very beginning so the child does not develop bad habits that can lead to reading difficulty. Develop careful attention to detail from the beginning. Proper tracking is also intertwined into the attention to detail skill. An effective beginning reading program should be designed to directly teach, develop and reinforce this critical attention to detail that is essential for skilled reading.
10. Develop Phonologic Processing (Use a Direct Systematic Phonics Approach): The student needs to learn to read by using phonologic processing. The most effective way to ensure children convert print to sound and develop the phonologic processing necessary for proficient reading is to teach them with a strong phonics-first direct systematic phonics program. Directly teach the child to convert letters into sounds and blend these sounds into words. Validated research shows this type of direct-systematic-phonics instruction has significant benefits for children in K through 6th grade and in children having difficulty learning to read.  True phonics based programs teach students printed letters represent specific sounds and how to blend these sounds into words. To maximize effectiveness, you need to teach the student explicitly and directly in a systematic and complete manner. An important note: this absolutely is not a blanket endorsement for all �phonics� programs. Many programs labeled �phonics� use indirect, embedded methods or are in fact just sight word programs with a token addition of a few sounds. Other �phonics� programs are incomplete or rely on indirect approaches.
Effective beginning reading programs need to insure the child develops and uses correct techniques so they establish proficient phonologic neural processing pathways. By design effective programs not only directly develop necessary skills but also prevent the use of improper strategies. Remember phonologic processing is more than knowing the sounds. Efficient phonologic processing requires integration of direct knowledge of the complete phonemic code, proper directional tracking, smooth blending, and attention to detail into the process of converting print to sound.
Research provides neurobiological proof effective instruction using direct-phonological-based reading programs can develop the neural pathways for proficient reading in both children and adults. Effective programs that specifically taught letter-sound correspondence not only improved reading skills in struggling readers, but actually changed brain activity form incorrect neural pathways to the �correct� pathway that good readers use.
11. Use DECODABLE TEXT for practice: In beginning reading, it is important the child practices reading decodable text. Text is decodable if it contains sounds the child has learned. The use of phonetically decodable text is critical, because it allows the child to apply correct phonologic processing skills. If the child attempts to read text that is NOT decodable (contains sounds they have not yet learned) the child is unable to use correct phonologic processing and often resorts to and adopts incorrect strategies such as word guessing and visual memorization that lead to reading difficulties. To become a proficient reader, the child MUST develop and practice correct phonologic processing. With decodable text you are only asking the child to read material he has the skills to read. Decodable text allows the child to use and develop correct print to sound phonologic processing pathways.
Decodable text contains sounds the child has learned. To determine if text is decodable you need to evaluate the phonetic structure of the vocabulary. A well designed program has the child practice reading words that are decodable based on the sounds the child has learned to date. For example if the young child has only learned the basic sounds m=/m/, a=/a/, t=/t/, s=/s/, d=/d/, i=/i/, r=/r/, e=/e/, n=/n, c=/k/, h=/h/, decodable words would include: rat, net, miss, nest, hit, cat, sit, cast, him, hat, rest, rim. Decidability is based on the phonemic code not the letters. For example with this set of sounds, the child could not decode words such as �rain� (has not yet learned the vowel combination �ai�=/ay/; �chair� (not yet learned �ch�=/ch/ or the r-controlled vowel combination �air�=/air/; �hate� (not yet learned the vowel-consonant-e combination) or teacher (not yet learned �ea�=/ee/, �ch�=/ch/ or the �er�=/er/). While the child will be able to decode these words later as their knowledge of complexities expand, they are not decodable for a child who has only learned a few of the basic sounds. In addition, young children need to begin with single syllable words. However, you still need to evaluate phonemic code as word length is only part of decidability. Some short words have complex code that is not yet decodable by beginners (for example: owl, art, boy, roar, right, soil, year, �) Also don�t rely on the grade level rating or label printed on the book. Always evaluate the vocabulary. Many very simple children�s picture books with only one or two words per page and numerous books actually labeled �early phonics readers� are full of words like �rhinoceros� and �laugh� that contain complex code or multisyllable word such as �carnival� and �investigations� that are absolutely not decodable by beginners.
The prudent limits on reading material are temporary restrictions designed to help the child learn. As the child learns more and more sounds, the material that is decodable rapidly expands. Before long the child is able to pick up and read any appropriate book. Having the child read decodable text is similar to teaching a child to play the piano. A beginner does not play advanced music. The beginner starts with individual notes and simple songs such as Mary had a Little Lamb. As the child acquires skills they are able to advance.
It is also very important to recognize, the use of decodable material never means advanced books are off limits to children but only what the child initially reads to you should be decodable. You absolutely should be reading a wide range of books to your child and as your child�s skills advance the child will be able to read true literature to you. The use of decodable text in beginning reading does not limit children, but rather effectively helps them build necessary skills and develop phonologic processing pathways so they can access the limitless opportunities of proficient reading.
More information on decodable text is found in the article Decodable Text Explained.
12. Ensure Phonologic Processing - Avoid Sight/Whole Word Reading: It is important to avoid teaching a sight word approach where the student learns to �read� by trying to recognize what whole words �look like�. Many students who struggle with reading have adopted this incorrect �whole word� visual word recognition strategy. Beginning reading needs to ensure the child does NOT adopt this detrimental technique of trying to visually recognize the entire word.
A �whole word� approach to reading fails because there are too many words and words are too similar to learn by overall visual appearance. Initially, a simple short list can be successfully �read� by whole word strategies and guessing. For example, a short list of visually different words like �a, the, cat, ball, house, green. This whole word identification �instant reading� may be exciting at first but can encourage the child to develop incorrect reading strategies where they think �reading� equates to simply looking at what the word looks like, recognizing a few letters, and then �word guessing�. Some children, especially those with strong visual memory skills, are very good at this in the beginning. However, as vocabulary expands visually similar words are encountered. The student who has adopted a whole word reading strategy is certain to fail. Not only are there absolutely too many words but words are too visually similar. A child starts school with something like a 24,000 word speaking and listening vocabulary. His vocabulary is up above 40,000 by 3rd grade. It is impossible to learn such an extensive vocabulary visually as whole words. Remember, only 26 letters make up all those words. To read proficiently, the student must look at each and every letter in order and process it phonologically. The neural imaging studies confirm this. The linguistic fact is our written language is NOT made up of whole word �pictures� but sounds that blend together to form spoken words. In linguistic history, written alphabets replaced pictographs precisely because there were too many words to represent by pictures. We have a phonetic alphabet and must approach it as such in order to succeed at reading.
The problem is apparent when you observe students who have been instructed in whole word methods and adopted �whole word� visual reading strategies. Their reading errors clearly show how they mistakenly look at appearance or physical structure of the word, look only at a few letters or at part of the word, mix up the order of the letters, or simply make wild guesses. These students say �very� for the word every, �made� for dim, �doctor� for describe, �sleep� for speed, �smell� for small, �volume� for value, �have� for van, �poured� for sprout, �mile� for lime and �soft� for often. They wildly guess un-common learned words like �chimp� for chart and �prehistoric� for plenty. Frequently, the �wild guesses� are words they specifically have tried to visually memorize. They look at very simple phonetic words like �rod� and �fat� and say, �I don�t know the word�. They cannot read very simple phonetic words even when they quickly recognize a word like �elephant�. All of these are actual examples I have observed. In closer evaluation, these students often have poor phonemic awareness, do not know many necessary sounds, do not track letters in order left to right, do not look at all the letters, and have poor segmenting and blending skills. Sadly, they never learned HOW to read and instead adopted a strategy of trying to memorize the entire look of the word - a strategy guaranteed to fail. The brain imaging research on dyslexia confirms and explains why whole word approaches fail. Proficient reading is dependant on phonological analysis. While some words are not completely phonetic and are read partly by �sight�, visual recognition sight word/ whole word reading should not be taught as a reading strategy.
13. Teach Phonetically Accurate Representations of Print - Avoid teaching �word families� and �blended consonants� as unique units: Use phonetically accurate representations of print. Avoid teaching with inaccurate representations of print such as word families (at, ig, it, am & the hundreds of other possibilities) and blended consonant clusters (bl, cr, fl, sc, sl, bl & the other 60+ possible beginning and ending blended consonant sounds) as unique letter/sound units. There is no need to do this. All it does is unnecessarily add hundreds of additional combinations for the student to learn. Teach the necessary single sounds and blending skills and the student can then read all possible combinations. For example by knowing 6 sounds (a e m n d t) and developing blending skills the student can sound out 10 different common combinations (am, an, ad, at, and, em, en, ed, et, end). At best, the teaching of blended consonant and word family units is an inefficient and indirect way to teach the necessary blending skill. However, the serious concern is these incorrect representations actually create reading difficulties in some students.
Problems arise when children adopt a strategy of trying to memorize the cluster groups as a visual unit instead of processing each sound. Not only is the sheer number of combinations overwhelming but the visual similarities between the clusters make visual �what it looks like� strategies very difficult for a child to master (such as bl, pl, lb, ld). In addition, if students hop around within words looking for familiar clusters and word families, they often confuse the left to right tracking and sounding out skills that are absolutely necessary. They inappropriately pull out word family combinations from words. They pull out �it� from wait, �in� from coin, and �ag� from page. These blended consonant clusters and word family units encourage some students to not look at all the letters. By overlooking the necessary attention to detail, students who learn with consonant clusters frequently insert blended sounds when they are not present. They read camp as �clamp�, tack as �track�, fake as �flake�, tide as �tride�, set as �sent�. Because they learned the cluster as a �hunk� they actually �see� the cluster when it is not there. These difficulties are all actual errors made by students who were taught word family and consonant cluster techniques.
It is simpler, more effective and prevents potential reading problems to teach students the necessary sounds and develop phonemic awareness and blending skills so they are able to combine any letters. Students often do need direct practice the blended consonants sounds as individual sounds within these consonant clusters are more difficult to distinguish. For example, many children hear the first sound of �grip� as /gr/ instead of /g/. These students need to develop phonemic awareness to distinguish the separate sounds. Always teach the blended consonants as processing and blending of the individual sounds NOT by learning cluster units. For example, teach flap as blending /f/ /l/ /a/ /p/ NOT /fl/ /a/ /p/. Same with the common �word families�; teach the blending of sounds /s/ /a/ /t/ NOT /s/ /at/.
Word families and blended consonant clusters are an inaccurate representation of our language. From the very beginning, we need to teach students to carefully process at all the letters in order by sound. Shortcuts that bypass this process can unintentionally create reading difficulties in some students. This careful attention to phonetic accuracy is important skill to develop from the beginning.
Guided reading is reading out loud to an adult, or other proficient reader, with feedback. This is NOT independent silent reading. The key part is �guided�. Correction and instruction helps the student learn and improve skills. The validated research shows guided out loud reading has significant beneficial impact on word recognition, fluency and comprehension across a range of grade levels. Guided reading benefits both good and struggling readers. In contrast, silent independent reading may not actually improve reading skills for beginning readers. Numerous studies show the best readers read the most and poor readers read the least. However, these studies are all correlational. It may be the good readers simply spend more time reading. Although it sounds like a good idea to have students read more alone, there is no research evidence showing independent silent reading actually improves reading skills. If a poor reader sits flipping pages and struggling with the reading and making errors, their skills will not improve, no matter how much time they spend. In contrast, guided oral reading instruction helps the student improve skills. This is NOT saying students should not read to themselves, or there are no benefits for children looking at books, or students do not need to read more. Rather, it says to improve skills, particularly in learning stages, students need to read out loud with feedback. At more advanced levels, silent reading does improve the higher skills of fluency, comprehension and vocabulary.
Guided reading has a significant beneficial impact on developing reading skills and should be a part of reading instructional programs. Guided reading also is the ideal time to help students develop higher level skills in comprehension. Specific instructions for conducting guided reading are found in the article How to Conduct Guided Reading.
15. Practice reading: Read! Read! Read! Daily reading is critical. Students should read a minimum of 20-30 minutes every day. Of course, the more reading is better! In learning stages the majority of this reading time should be guided reading (out loud with feedback). As the student�s skills develop, their reading will shift to independent silent reading. Practicing correct reading skills is essential.
Independent level: This is material the student can read with few errors. If the student is making only a few errors on a page the material is at the independent level. This �easy� or independent level is ideal for silent reading.
Instructional level: The learning level material is where the student reads with some errors and skill building. If the student is making 4 or more errors per page the material is considered instructional level and should be read to an adult as guided reading material. This instructional or learning level is ideal for guided reading so you can help the student develop skills.
Frustration level: This is where the material is �too hard�. The student makes frequent errors in every paragraph. The reading level is really too advanced for the student. It is best to avoid frustration level material by finding another book. If frustration level material must be read, it is should be read as guided reading with assistance.
When a student learns to read proficiently, they should be able to read all grade level material. In other words, a 2nd grader may have difficulty reading their teenage brother�s history book but should not struggle with classroom material. If grade level material is consistently not �appropriate� for your child, chances are they are lacking necessary decoding skills and need direct instruction in developing the necessary phonologic processing skills.
16. Share the joy of reading: And as always, share the joy of reading. Reading is wonderful. Students have a natural excitement about reading that can be tapped into. Teaching students to read using a direct systematic phonics program does not preclude enjoyment and excitement with reading. In fact, it is the ability to read well that removes roadblocks and provides the route to reading enjoyment. The often quoted observation �good readers� like to read and �poor readers� do not enjoy reading is absolutely true. However, this is a correlational, not a cause and effect, relationship. This tendency to spend time and enjoy what we are good at is simply human nature. It is difficult to �enjoy� an activity you don�t do very well, make frequent frustrating errors and can only accomplish with difficulty and work. When students learn how to read they are able to become �engaged� and �excited� about reading. This is particularly evident in students who have struggled with reading. Once these students learn how to read there is often a complete 180� change in their attitude toward reading.
An effective reading program intentionally develops necessary proficient reader skills. Structured reading lessons teach your student how to read. However, the lessons alone will not ensure your child achieves a love of reading. Parents and teachers absolutely need to encourage and promote a love of reading. Expose students to a wide variety of literature. Help them discover the amazing wealth of information contained in books. Encourage students to read. Go to the library frequently and search for books that engage the student. Check out numerous books on military aircraft. Help your daughter unpack the box of well worn favorite horse stories that her aunt sent her. Give your child a flashlight so she can re-read all the Little House books under the covers after lights out. Read all the RedWall books with him so you can discuss the details of how the brave mouse warrior and his woodland friends defeat the evil horde of vermin. Read the newspaper sports page at breakfast. Follow the latest space shuttle mission on the NASA internet site. Help her find research information. Read a nightly Bible verse. Read the same favorite book over and over. Enjoy books! However, do not skip the important step of carefully teaching students how to read. Help your student become a �good reader� so they are able to enjoy reading. Skilled reading is a key that unlocks the doors to limitless knowledge, enjoyment and adventures. You can give your child this key by getting them on the right track to reading proficiency!
Beyond Beginning Skills: As children�s skills develop, reading instruction needs to directly teach higher level reading skills. The child needs to develop fluency, learn how to handle multisyllable words, expand vocabulary knowledge and develop reading comprehension skills. See the article Advanced Skills Necessary for Proficient Reading for additional detail on these essential skills. These advanced skills are all enhanced by direct instruction. Effective reading programs should directly teach these important higher level skills in order to help the child advance from beginner abilities to proficient or skilled reading.

Anti-TSA fervor leading to violence against officers
"AFGE agrees that strong security measures need to be in place and evolve as threats come anew, but the general public needs to know what the security procedures are and what their rights are as citizens," AFGE National President John Gage added. "TSA must do a better job explaining these measures to the flying public. This absence of information has resulted in a backlash against the character and professionalism of TSOs based on a few widely reported but largely ill-founded claims repeated over and over again by the media."
AFGE further called on TSA to provide an educational pamphlet to each passenger on the new procedures and what the passenger rights are.
"Like all Americans, TSOs deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. These men and women are the first line of defense against those who seek to harm this country," Gage said. "It is unacceptable for any passenger to verbally or physically assault any security officers, and TSA must act now—before the Thanksgiving rush— to ensure that TSOs are not being left to fend for themselves."
The current anti-Homeland Security movement is backed by The Rutherford Institute, a right wing organization that receives funding from benefactors of such anti-worker corporate front groups as The Heritage Foundation and the National 'Right to Work' Legal Defense Foundation. TSO's are not permitted collective bargaining rights. President Obama promised in writing to provide those who serve the full measure of respect and partnership guaranteed by collective bargaining but has been indifferent about improving the quality of the TSA workplace as TSO's continue to wait.

There are softer landing spots for one's first start in goal than Nashville Valtteri Filppula Jersey Womens , but the Arizona Coyotes might not have a choice in this matter.If starter Antti Raanta can't recover from a lower-body injury that knocked him out of a 4-3 win Tuesday night in Minnesota, backup Adin Hill would make his first start of the season and just the fifth start of his NHL career Thursday night against the Predators in Bridgestone Arena.Hill, who stopped five third period shots to pick up the win over the Wild, is 2-3-0 in six NHL games with a 3.04 goals-against average and an .896 save percentage. The 6-6, 202-pound Hill is just 22 years old and is coming off his own lower-body injury that recently cost him four weeks of playing time in the minors.Article continues below …"It's the NHL, so each game for me is still very exciting and fun," Hill said. "But I'm feeling a little bit more comfortable here now and I think I'm adjusting to the pace a bit more with every game."Hill was called up from Arizona's AHL affiliate in Tucson when Coyotes backup Darcy Kuemper fell victim to his own lower-body injury that will keep him out until at least Saturday, when St. Louis visits Gila River Arena.Given the circumstances, Arizona's rally in Minnesota might have constituted its best win of the season. Trailing 3-1 with their starting goalie out, the Coyotes' 30th-ranked offense produced three third period goals against the normally solid Devan Dubnyk to steal two points, Josh Archibald supplying the winning goal at 8:39."I like the resiliency," Arizona coach Rick Tocchet said. "A couple of guys were struggling early and we kind of regained ourselves in the third, so that's nice. When you're down 3-1 going into the third period Fredrik Claesson Jersey Womens , hopefully in an 82-game schedule you're going to win some of those."It was the first win for the Coyotes (10-11-2) since a 2-1 decision over Nashville on Nov. 15 in Glendale. While they've had the Predators' number in the desert, winning five of their last six meetings at home, Arizona hasn't come out of Music City with a win since March 28, 2013, when it was still known as the Phoenix Coyotes.Nashville (17-7-1) is coming off a 3-2 loss Tuesday night to Colorado that snapped two lengthy winning streaks. The Predators entered the match with six straight home victories and 11 consecutive wins over the Avalanche, but failed to extend those streaks despite a 38-25 advantage in shots on goal."I thought that we had enough chances to win the game," Nashville goalie Pekka Rinne said, "but I have to give them credit. Their power play was very effective tonight. It's a good team. Obviously, it's disappointing when it's a division game and you come up short and it's played at home, but we battled until the end and just couldn't get the tying goal."It's the third game in a five-game homestand for the Predators, which still lead the Central Division by three points over Colorado. ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — A goaltender who was winless in his previous 21 decisions outplayed an All-Star down the stretch Friday night.Cory Schneider got his first win in nearly 14 months when Nico Hischier scored 3:19 into overtime, lifting the New Jersey Devils to a wild 5-4 victory over the slumping Minnesota Wild.Hischier Dylan DeMelo Jersey Womens , Marcus Johansson and Kyle Palmieri each had a goal and an assist for the Devils, who won for the second time in eight games. Will Butcher and Ben Lovejoy also scored."We've talked a lot about when things aren't going well and adversity strikes it's up to the way we care about each other and tonight showed that," Palmieri said. "It was our culture coming out and believing in each other."Schneider had 15 saves in relief of Keith Kinkaid, including three in overtime. He allowed five goals Thursday in Chicago and was 0-17-4 since his last win on Dec. 27, 2017."Sometimes things happen in a strange way, but I was more excited for our team just to show some mettle and to come back and win a tough game after a tough trip," Schneider said. "It was nice to see us get rewarded as a group. For anybody who knows me, I'm not overly emotional one way or another. I think everyone else was more excited about it than I was."In overtime, Wild goaltender Devan Dubnyk's errant pass behind the net was picked off by Palmieri. Dubnyk made a save before Hischier whacked in a loose puck to complete an improbable comeback.Dubnyk, who played in his third All-Star game last month, has allowed 10 goals in the last two games, both losses that included Minnesota blowing a multi-goal lead."They're finding their way in. It's frustrating," he said. "We probably deserved four points out of the last two games and we only got one. Got to find a way."Coach Bruce Boudreau was non-committal when asked if Dubnyk will start Sunday against St. Louis."It'll be a conversation that the coaches and the goalie coach have tomorrow and the GM and we'll see what transpires Gabriel Gagne Jersey Womens ," Boudreau said. "There's a couple things. We're not blind. We saw how they went in, but the other thing that bothers me is we do this all the time, we get them down and you don't get that killer instinct and you stop playing and you try to defend all the time and it's a losing way to play."Playing for the third time in four nights, New Jersey trailed 4-1 late in the second period before Butcher scored off a deflected pass. Palmieri added a power-play goal midway through the third.Lovejoy scored with 2:45 left in regulation when he beat Dubnyk with a low slap shot from the left circle.Mikael Granlund and Brad Hunt each had a goal and assist for Minnesota, which dropped to 1-4-3 in its past eight games.

NHK has just started a news page in easy Japanese - check it out. Level is intermediate, I guess.
Basically, 振り仮名(ふりがな) are (small) kana next to a kanji or kanji compound indicating its reading.
While they can be helpful, I find comic books with furigana for literally every kanji positively distracting and harder to read. Also, once you have learnt a kanji, you feel good when you can read it without the help of furigana.
Ah thanks.. I've noticed those small kana at the top of every kanji on some sites.. So that what furigana is.. hehe..
I agree with blutorange. When you have furigana in whatever you are reading, you tend to read them instead of the kanji even though you absolutely know how to read a particular kanji and it doesn't help you in the long run.

The Crossroads of Reality and Melodrama in 'Rocco and His Brothers'
Luchino Visconti's Rocco and His Brothers is an epic of postwar Italy and a melodrama of seismic proportions boasting great photography and performances.
By Michael Barrett / 14 August 2018
Rocco and His Brothers
Milestone Films
Perhaps no parallel example exists of a modern film that's been so acclaimed and so impossible to see as Luchino Visconti's Rocco and His Brothers (Rocco e i suoi fratelli) (1960). Until this glittering 2015 restoration, now available on Blu-ray from Milestone Films, it has only circulated sporadically in ragged, censored prints that challenged the limits of the watchable. At last, it looks like a wicked fairy's spell has been lifted and the sleeping beauty has revived, although traces of the curse remain at the edges.
Apart from calling the film an epic of postwar Italy and a melodrama of seismic proportions boasting great photography and performances, it's impossible to discuss Rocco and His Brothers without mentioning spoilers. In any case, potential viewers must be prepared for possible deal-breakers in the narrative.
The film's credited source is a book of stories by Giovanni Testori set in the margins of Milanese society. If the title recalls Thomas Mann's novel Joseph and His Brothers, which in turn evokes the Biblical story, that's on purpose. Also deliberate is the decision to make the "saintly" self-sacrificing Rocco into an alter ego of Dostoevsky's The Idiot, with the central romantic idea patterned after that novel's triangle of Prince Myshkin, Nastasya Filippovna and Rogozhin. This latter parallel was apparently the decision of Suso Cecchi d'Amico, one of the most important writers in Italian cinema and a woman who left her prints on more of the country's milestones than any other single writer.
The opening credits rumble upon us in Milan's train station, shot by Giuseppe Rotunno as a series of moving traps: an elevator, grillwork, the inside of the train with its misted windows looking obscurely onto what its passengers hope is a fabulous future yet is already forbidding and lonely. The mother and four sons belong to a social phenomenon that inspired the film: the migration of southerners from their poverty-stricken farms to the mysterious wealthy modernity of Italy's northern cities, especially Milan with its automobile factories.
In this sense, Visconti conceived the film as a sociopolitical sequel to his neorealist film La Terra Trema (1948), which was about those southern families. Now they're arriving in an urban wonderland in search of opportunity, though the story will reveal how they sell themselves into forms of slavery that debase them and pull them apart. It begins with a kind of bureaucratic finagle that "all you southerners do", as one character explains. The family should rent a room for a few months, then default in order to be evicted and claim public housing from the government. In other words, the condition of life must be a scam.
This is a very "comedy Italian style" gesture of satire, after the opening sequence has featured the family's unexpected arrival causing a ruckus with the older son's marriage plans and a lot of idiomatically raised voices and gestures on the part of the grieving, fierce, self-dramatizing matriarch (Katina Paxinou). After this sort of prologue, the film will divide itself into five chapters, named for each son from oldest to youngest, and each handled primarily by a different screenwriter, although the story is so tightly wound that the film never concentrates neatly on a single son.
Eldest son Vincenzo (Spiros Focás) isn't so pivotal. He already lives in Milan and works in construction, thus a human beam in the frantic "economic miracle" throwing up skyscrapers everywhere. With his marriage to Ginetta (Claudia Cardinale in an early role), he's aiming for middle-class respectability with his own offspring.
Also less pivotal are fourth and fifth sons Ciro (Max Cartier) and Luca (Rocco Vidolazzi). Ciro adjusts quickly to the city with his high school diploma and is mocked for being proud of his job at the Alfa Romeo plant, that purveyor of sleek modernity, where he's one of a sea of workers in identically stenciled overalls. The plant's rich history links the Mussolini era to union unrest. Luca never gets taller during the two years of story, and that's par for child characters who function more or less as accessories. Everyone caresses him in concern for their place in his heart, since he represents the hopeful unknown future. If anyone grows up to tell their story, it will be he.
That brings us to Simone (Renato Salvatori, previously a specialist in comedies) and Rocco (Alain Delon, previously nobody). Both become boxers, people whose job is to pound each other for sport but really for money and really for the profits of their "owners". In return, they receive public fame, their faces decorating posters like movie stars. From the start, the beefy and more promising Simone shows a propensity for thievery and exploitation that will dwindle and fritter his future, while the slender and quieter Rocco shows steadiness and determination.
Yes, this is partly a boxing movie, a link in the chain from Robert Rossen's Body and Soul (1947) and Mark Robson's Champion (1949) to Martin Scorcese's Raging Bull (1980). It's less about the "racket" than these films, although exploitation is clearly delineated, and you don't need a punch in the face to see that Visconti's film and Simone's brutality influenced Scorcese's conception of Jake La Motta just as much as the expressive Hollywood films. As a sign of homage and his Film Foundation's participation in this restoration, Scorcese provides an unimportant introduction on the disc.
Nadia (Annie Girardot), named for Nastasya Filippovna, is introduced early as a prostitute known to Vincenzo. Avoiding her angry unseen father (how symbolic can you get?), who's shouting somewhere in the same tenement, she's initially cheerful and philosophical, asking Vincenzo to imagine how the world would be if women like her disappeared. She drifts into an affair with Simone while stressing that they're free and unattached, that they owe each other nothing, so she comes across as very modern, more modern than Simone can handle.
As Suso Cecchi d'Amico explains in an archival interview on the bonus disc, Nadia isn't only Nastasya but is conceived as a symbol for the city itself. She's not evil because "that would be too simple". In fact, "she's a good person", but her symbolic function as The City is such that her interactions with the family can only bring on corruption. In one of the film's most startling and queasy revelations, that Simone too has been prostituting himself to wealthy men, she and he seem to meld decisively into two halves of the same symbol, which is why it becomes impossible on that level for them to separate.
But separate they do after an initial idyll in which we see them having a between-bouts bedroom conversation, their heads askew on the bed in different directions, and later leaning into each other on the wall of a fancy exclusive hotel. As explained in a lengthy interview by Caterina d'Amico, daughter of Cecchi d'Amico and author of a Visconti biography, their chemistry in these scenes derives from the fact that the actors immediately fell in love and would get married, and this "complicates" the subtext of the plot for the viewer.
Simone and Nadia separate because she's tossed in jail for more than a year, concurrent with Rocco's being drafted into a stint of military service. When Nadia bumps into him, she makes the explicit connection between their compulsory services to the state. She also falls in love with his beauty and optimism, and they embark on an affair while she decides to drop her profession and become a secretary.
After his service, Rocco has become the better and more promising boxer while Simone has suffered a beating that made him "throw in the towel". When Simone finds out that Rocco and Nadia are together, thanks to the malice of his barfly associates, he performs a terrible revenge on them that became the center of the film's controversies, and here is where the spoilers must come in.
Simone performs a double assault, each on multiple levels and each functioning as half of a larger atrocity. In raping Nadia in front of Rocco, he's punishing both of them and really all three of them in "staking his claim". Nadia is traumatized by the rape and by the fact that Rocco couldn't bring himself to interfere against his big brother but stood by helplessly. She'd wanted Rocco to "rescue" her, in the rape and in her life at large, but he perceives his "desperate" and "suffering" brother as most in need of rescue to save him from destruction. Rocco's reactions will lead to more colossal tragedy.
We're certainly familiar with the reality of women who return to their abusers for lack of options, but Rocco's encouraging Nadia to return to Simone is what will seem incomprehensible to many modern viewers, as it so flies in the face of today's sensibility. It's getting at something recidivist about men, about brothers, about the peasant south, but it's also getting at Rocco's stature as "the Holy Fool" who believes all men are brothers and our concern isn't legal justice but how to help each other. It's a tribute to the depth of Nadia's conception and Girardot's embodiment of it that she projects her loathing upon both brothers and upon her own helplessness even while allowing herself to be tossed about by their whims and her own physical responses.
And that's only half the assault! In the longer and even bloodier section, the brothers fight until Rocco is left a shivering wreck on the sidewalk, as conveyed in dark longshot on empty streets occasionally illuminated by headlights. In a sense, Nadia's rape had been the first act to this brotherly bout, a more extreme case of their professional sparring. Their "resolution" will occur at the end, after the full revelations and culminations of Simone's equally self-loathing behavior, when Simone throws himself on a bed and Rocco throws himself on top of him, the two of them hugging and caressing each other's faces as their bodies heave with sobs. It's Simone's second bed-sharing scene.
Earlier, when the brothers in separate beds all slept in the same room, there had been a moment when Rocco gave Simone a message from Nadia, and the scene ended with Rocco — or rather, with Alain Delon as beautiful animal — luxuriantly stretching his right arm above his head, exposing his armpit hair, and gazing limpidly straight into the camera. It's a breathtaking moment that bursts right out of the frame, a moment of a filmmaker's fetishization of a glamorous star that compares with Josef von Sternberg's iconic presentations of Marlene Dietrich.
Cecchi d'Amico links Delon and Dietrich in her interview, and it must have been willful on the part of the homosexual Visconti. He'd already emulated Sternberg in the early party sequence, when the camera self-consciously pushes aside streamers that drift into the viewer's face. Caterina d'Amico states that the one scene Visconti added to the finished screenplay was the pivotal scene of Simone's fight with his male "john" (Roger Hanin), the expression of physicality in a manner acceptable to men (combat) as displacement of the unacceptable (sex).
The strange mood of this darkly lit scene is intensified by the film's only technically clumsy element, the matting of a TV image when the man turns on the set. The program seems to be some kind of art appreciation show, with static Renaissance images of religious import gliding across the small screen. The TV is as much a status symbol and consumer commodity as the "white telephones" that synecdochally defined a type of Italian studio cinema, so the TV-object signifies many things at once while Nino Rota's music, supposedly part of the art program, hovers over the scene.
When adapting James M. Cain's novel The Postman Always Rings Twice into his debut film Ossessione (1943), which is often credited with kicking off neorealism, Visconti interpolated a bisexual episode into his drifting protagonist's story. It wasn't in the book, notwithstanding that Cain would later write a whole novel about a repressed homosexual, Serenade (and that element was suppressed from the 1956 Hollywood version starring Mario Lanza), so it's uncanny that Visconti would have the brass to introduce such a thing. Maybe it's "open to interpretation", but we're just going to come out and call it a pick-up, and that implication is among the reasons that movie was banned in Fascist Italy. Here Visconti revived the theme, and again it contributed to a film's scandalous reputation.
As Caterina d'Amico says, it's difficult today to grasp how 1960 European audiences were hit by the film's violence and sordidness, what an embarrassing and disturbing scandal it was for Italy. Certain violent scenes were censored by being blacked out while audiences heard the soundtrack, which must have had the ironic effect of inflaming imaginations even more, and this current restoration is only possible because the negative wasn't touched.
The remaining traces of censorship relate to the family's name. Cecchi d'Amicho had met a migrant worker named Pafundi from the southern region of Lucania, so she gave the family that name and origin. An actual judge named Pafundi threatened to sue the film, so the family was redubbed Parondi and the onscreen posters were altered in post-production. In the negative, the posters still say Pafundi and the restorers considered letting it stand but decided to "preserve" what d'Amicho calls "the memory of the stupidity of the censorship of the time" by digitally altering the posters.
This has an unfortunately glaring effect in the final shot, when the viewer's eye is distracted by all the shimmering while Luca ritually caresses each poster of Rocco. It's still a heart-swelling moment. In that shot, the posters of Rocco transcend their story's meaning to become posters of Delon, the star created by this film and the simultaneous release of René Clément's Purple Noon (1960).
Girardot's career also launched here, cast by Visconti after he'd worked with her on stage in Two for the Seesaw with Jean Marais. She became one of France's most popular stars and a feminist icon for the strength and independence of her roles. She married Salvatore in 1962 and they separated but never divorced. Cardinale became an international star and worked with Visconti again in The Leopard (1963) and Sandra (1965), the latter another of those works now difficult to see.
Rotunno's deep-focus black and white photography provides ravishing images, like the steam at the train station and the snow in the courtyard. In his interview, he mentions his working relationship with Visconti and states that the aesthetic beauty of the image is always least important in comparison with the scene's emotional and narrative clarity. Still, his often restlessly moving camera conveys a sensuality and an enveloping sense of the city's fateful bustle, for this thing seems to have a cast of hundreds in every scene. It seems to star all of Milan.
Perhaps certain outdoor scenes use real citizens, but most scenes employ extras to pack the boxing matches and street fights and tenements, with people often visible through distant windows contributing to the city's life. In his interview, designer Mario Garbuglia makes it clear how studio-constructed the movie was, of a piece with Visconti's steady movement away from the neorealism he may have invented for practical purposes and towards his more literary and epic studio conceits, just as all Italy along with its cinema was gradually evolving from the ruined streets of neorealism to the sleek middle-class constructs of "the white telephone". Besides, even Visconti's neorealist films had literary sources, so these distinctions exist more in the minds of critics than in the artist.
Cecchi d'Amico created the treatment, a lengthy one, in collaboration with Visconti and Vasco Pratolini, a prominent novelist of working-class subjects. It seems that Visconti wanted to film a Pratolini novel about the tragedy of two brothers and wasn't able to do so, and therefore this film, among its many influences, was a kind of backdoor realization of that. Ironically, that novel would later be filmed by Valerio Zurlini as Family Diary (1962), also shot by Rotunno and also produced by Goffredo Lombardo for Titanus Films, like Rocco.
Cecchi d'Amico and Visconti shared the screenplay with younger writers Pasquale Festa Campanile, Massimo Franciosa (concerned with the "anthropology" and props of the family's origins) and Enrico Medioli. According to Caterina d'Amico, Rocco dies in the original treatment, which would probably have linked this boxing movie even to King Vidor's The Champ (1931), but much of the story got pared away, although the result is still three hours.
Rota's score only employs one or two passages in the "circus" idiom associated with his Fellini films. For the most part, he employs more standard (if lush) passages judiciously, and much of the score is presented diegetically as popular background music in various venues for a film forever poised between reality and melodrama.
So clear is this restoration that when Nadia lounges on a bed reading movie magazines, we can see the headlines about Michelangelo Antonioni's L'Avventura (1960), one iconic modern classic inadvertently (?) quoting another. The second disc of extras includes various interviews, a sample of restoration comparisons, and a side-by-side presentation of the censored versions of certain scenes, with a black screen blotting out certain passages.

Dominion, Rx Partnership link to provide medication to low-income patients
By Fadel Allassan
(rand X Pictures)
A new program aims to provide free medicine to vulnerable residents of Virginia.
The Dominion Energy Charitable Foundation and Rx Partnership announced on Friday the Access to Medication Program, which will provide generic medications to low-income and uninsured patients, according to a Dominion news release.
The program, announced at the Olde Towne Medical and Dental Center in Williamsburg, was initiated with a $25,000 grant from Dominion's philanthropic arm. Olde Towne will be the first participant, and organizers hope to expand throughout the state.
"What could be more critical than the medicine people are prescribed?" said Cynthia Balderson, Dominion Energy manager of corporate philanthropy.
Balderson said Rx Partnership, a nonprofit that aims to provide medication to vulnerable Virginians, will operate the program, while Olde Towne will provide the medication to its patients.
Olde Towne will ask for a $1 donation every time someone picks up his or her medication, but those who cannot make the payments will still receive medication. Rx Partnership Executive Director Amy Yarcich said the chronic-care medications the program will provide are for a 90-day supply, which would typically cost $10 or more at a retail pharmacy.
Patients at Olde Towne who are uninsured and have household incomes at or below 250 percent of the poverty level – $30,150 for an individual and $61,500 for a family of four – will qualify.
According to an AARP estimate, more than 25 percent of prescriptions nationwide aren't filled because people can't afford them. Yarcich said this sometimes leads those who are already medically vulnerable to skip critical doses of medication.
"This is dealing with a free-clinic population that is often times much sicker and coming in with multiple conditions," Yarcich said. "Ultimately we'd love for people to take less medication because they're getting healthier, but often times they need the medication to get better."
William Mann Jr., Olde Towne's executive medical director, said the clinic will likely provide about 600 prescriptions a month through the program.
Yarcich said she hopes initial success at Olde Towne Medical will propel the program to go statewide. She said because the medication will come from orders from medical facilities to suppliers, "location is no barrier."
"We're excited about launching this and where its going to go," Yarcich said.

Hu Jia (em ; Pequim, República Popular da China, 25 de julho de 1973) é um activista chinês defensor dos direitos humanos e dissidente político. Estudou informática em Pequim. Foi detido em 27 de dezembro de 2007, junta mente com a sua mulher Zeng Jinyan. Ambas as detenções - segundo informações da Amnistia Internacional - foram parte da campanha de repressão que o governo chinês levou a cabo contra os defensores dos direitos humanos antes dos Jogos Olímpicos de 2008. No momento da sua detenção, Hu Jia estava gravemente doente com hepatite.

Segundo destaca o Parlamento Europeu, "Hu Jia e a sua esposa, Zeng Jinyan, manifestaram-se contra as violações dos direitos humanos que cometeram na China nos últimos anos e passaram longo tempo sob prisão domiciliária".

Em 3 de abril de 2008 foi sentenciado a três anos e meio de cárcere. A sentença ainda aumentou a tensão internacional após os distúrbios criados pelos protestos pró-independência do Tibete. O tribunal apresentou como provas "a publicação de artigos dentro e fora da China e a aceitação de entrevistas com a imprensa estrangeira". Foi libertado em 26 de junho de 2011.

Em 2006, a revista Time considerou Zeng Jinyan um dos mil "heróis e pioneiros" do mundo. Em 2007, o casal recebeu o prémio especial "China" da ONG Repórteres sem Fronteiras.

Em 23 de outubro de 2008 o Parlamento Europeu atribuiu-lhe o prestigiado Prémio Sakharov dos direitos humanos.

This is one of the trendiest neighbourhoods in Lisbon and it became even nicer after the recent works that have been carried out, which have brought wider sidewalks, more green areas and cycle paths. The historical art nouveau palaces contrast with the new construction, in this perfectly organized grid of streets and avenues. Gulbenkian foundation is, definitely a landmark in this parish, functioning both as a cultural center and one of the most beautiful gardens in the city, where everyone loves to be. This is a very accessible part of the city (underground, bus and train) and has a great offer in terms of street commerce: restaurants, cafes, small shopping centers and the indispensable El Corte Inglés (the biggest department store in the city).
The apartment offers central heating, double glazing and is pet friendly.

What is the Remote-work Course?
The Unbounded Lifestyle Remote-work Course is a 12 week coaching course that teaches simple, effective lifestyle habits and mindsets to aspiring freelancers and entrepreneurs who want less meaningless commitments and more travel, time and freedom.
Whether you're still stuck in the nine-to-five grind, or an overwhelmed nomad struggling to make money to sustain yourself, Unbounded Lifestyle will challenge you to rethink your priorities and overcome your excuses to do what you love and define success on your own terms.
This coaching course is designed to minimize your financial stress by trading in unnecessary lifestyle expenses for more nimble travel, meaningful experiences, and deep connections.
The course covers 9 lifestyle habits and mindsets designed to create more energy, clarity and confidence to make big life changes (like quit your job, fire your annoying clients, or sell your stuff to move across the world).
You'll get access to the private members page where all content will be available for future reference.
On the fourth week of each month, you can ask burning questions and request coaching on any business or lifestyle issue via Open Coaching.
Students will have access to a private Facebook community for professional networking, ongoing coaching feedback, and travel/business idea exchange.
Each week offers a key teaching on non-obvious mindsets that increase your personal freedom. This learning section includes personal stories, best practices, and tools you can implement immediately.
The remaining time will focus on group coaching: a proven questioning method to uncover the beliefs and fears holding you back from taking action in that specific area of life. Coaching discussions will dig deep on the most important mindset shifts needed to redefine your approach to minimizing mindless work and maximizing free-time to do the things you love.
THIS IS A CRASH COURSE IN LEARNING HOW TO BE TIME WEALTHY.
Our freedom mantra is: "Money is time".
If you're willing to reallocate things that cost money and don't bring any joy to you, your time and freedom budget will increase significantly.
As a member of the first cohort, you'll have lifetime access to future courses to reconnect with like-minded people and ask for help as you continue to work remotely and travel.
Who is the Remote-work course for?
Whether you want to quit your job, make space for freelance work you enjoy, or finally launch that start-up you can't stop thinking about, The Freedom Accelerator is for you.
Minimizing your material life to travel on a moment's notice is possible in any remote profession and entrepreneurial venture.
You're moderately to highly successful in your current job. You make good money, have good friends, and generally enjoy your daily routine. Each day you realize more and more that you don't aspire to climb the corporate ladder to be your boss or CEO of the company, but you too scared of the unknown to make a radical change.
Your support system and identity are closely tied to work and you struggle to picture what life could look like outside of your bubble and steady pay-check. Nevertheless, you are bored and constantly think, "Is this all there is?".
You want a life of more excitement, adventure and meaning and seek help brainstorming the best start-up or freelance work that minimizes risk and opens doors to doing work you actually enjoy.
You are well aware that this corporate lifestyle is not for you. You've invested time and energy strategizing your way out of the company and into a freelance, consulting or entrepreneurial venture to have an impact on the things you care about. You have a solid idea, business plan, and a few low-paying or pro-bono clients to test the waters before you make the career switch.
You struggle to find enough hours in the day to maintain your full time job AND give your passion project the energy and creative thinking it needs. You are exhausted by commuting, and often too tired or frustrated to move things forward in the evenings. You're too scared to quit your job to go all-in, and even more scared that if you don't quit, the side-business will never take off. You feel trapped, low energy and impatient.
You are seeking help to find creative ways to prioritize your side-hustle while meeting your commitments at work.
You took the leap, quit or renegotiated your job, and moved across the world. You almost always make ends meet, but with constant financial stress and frustration to "market" yourself and find new clients. You take on any work you can find, even if it's annoying and doesn't bring you joy. Or you're virtually tied to a boss and feel like a slave to your e-mail.
The social pressure to make a $50,000-$100,000+ salary is daunting. You're concerned about health insurance, saving for retirement and being financially responsible. You also care about living in the moment and are frustrated to see so much of your money go to the future.
You finally have freedom to do what you want, and spend most of it complaining and stressed out. You want help minimizing your lifestyle so you can cut out financial stress and spend more time at the beach, hiking and exploring new places.
The investment for the Remote-work Course 2017 is $484 (that's $40/coaching session).
Pause for a moment. Do you notice yourself immediately thinking: "I can't afford it" ?
That is likely the exact same thinking keeping you tied to a life and job you don't enjoy.
Read on to learn how we'll help you re-allocate your money to match your values.
This is an invitation to stop spending on stuff and start investing in yourself.
This is a live group coaching experience and I care about connecting with every student. To do that, I'm keeping each class small and intimate to 20 clients.
You can jump in and start the 12 weeks at any time. Each topic is high-impact and interrelated. Your start time will simply determine the order in which you dive into each part of work and lifestyle.

Q: Connected components of infinite graph from adjacency matrix For a finite graph, we can find the number of connected components of the graph as $\dim \ker L$, where $L = D - A$ is the Laplacian matrix.
Does this still hold true for an infinite graph where every vertex has finite degree (if we consider the domain and codomain of $L$ to be sequence space $\Bbb{R}^\infty$)?
If not, what about if every vertex has bounded degree (i.e. there exists $M$ so that $d(v) \leq M$ for all $v \in V(G)$)?
Follow-up: Eric Wofsey has given an explicit example where $\dim \ker L$ is strictly greater than the number of connected components. Is it possible to go the other way, and have $\dim \ker L$ be strictly less? Or is $\dim \ker L$ always an upper bound?
Follow-up to the follow-up: How may the number of connected components of an infinite graph with bounded degree, or where every vertex has finite degree, be calculated from its adjacency matrix or its Laplacian matrix?

A: No.  For instance, consider the graph whose vertices are integers with $n$ adjacent to $n-1$ and $n+1$ for each $n$.  Then a sequence $s:\mathbb{Z}\to\mathbb{R}$ is in the kernel of the Laplacian iff $s(n)$ is the average of $s(n-1)$ and $s(n+1)$ for each $n$.  Now given any two values for $s(0)$ and $s(1)$, you can uniquely determine the values of $s(n)$ for all $n$ by the recurrence $s(n+1)=2s(n)-s(n-1)$ (explicitly, the solutions to this recurrence are the linear sequences $s(n)=an+b$ where $a$ and $b$ are arbitrary parameters).  So $\dim\ker L=2$ , even though the graph has only one connected component.

Go! Running Tours in Austria show you this amazing all-rounder of a country from a whole new perspective. From the Alps in the West to Vienna in the East, Austria ticks all the boxes.
Our guided runs in Austria show you the glorious history of the country. You can get a taste of Vienna's golden-age architecture before running along the Danube, which for centuries has been a lifeline for European trade.
So don't think twice. Whether you're in visiting for its natural or urban landscapes, running tours in Austria with our friendly local guides will show you all the highlights and more.
Austria must be among the most underrated countries in the world in terms of natural and architectural beauty. In both these fields, you'll be taken aback at how stunning the country is. The Austrian Alps are just as impressive as their counterparts in the French-speaking world and Vienna's prestigious buildings are simply peerless in quantity and quality.
The country has produced a whole host of geniuses too. From musical maestros like Mozart and Haydn to legends of the big screen such as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Christoph Waltz. No trip to Vienna is complete without visiting the coffee houses where some of the world's greatest minds, such as Sigmund Freud, shared their ideas.
Anybody who has been to Austria will have noticed how remarkably clean it is. Not only that, but there are wonderful green areas that are perfect for guided runs. This environment almost forces Austrians to be outdoorsy types. You would have a difficult time finding a local who isn't into skiing, hiking or running. When running in Austria, you can be paired up with a local guide who has a passion for the outdoors and for their city in equal measure.
So when you're travelling to Austria, sign up for one of our sightrunning tours to see the country's highlights and hidden gems with a guide who knows it best. Let's go running!


So about year ago I decided that I wanted to get back into playing soccer. I have always loved the game and was considered pretty good when I was younger. Now, I figure that I am about 2 years out from playing Old Timers soccer and I wanted to get my feet wet by starting in a league that is relatively chill.
Enter Average Joe Sports. What a great idea! This is a league that is made up of people like me who haven't played in a long time, if ever. I have been playing for about a year and I have to admit I love it. I have a great team and have even had the chance to play with Declan's Godfather Robbie.
I admit that some mornings are more difficult than others. I have had a handful of days where I have been stiff getting out of bed. This morning was the perfect example. I have developed a heel spur as well as some pain in my knees and they were both acting up. I think that I am officially old! Oh well, it's worth it.
One of the best feelings that I have had playing soccer so far has been hearing Declan shouting from the stands for me and the team. I have fond memories of watching my Dad play when I was a kid and having my sons there watching me is such a lovely feeling.
Heck, I have even scored a couple of goals since I have been playing. Not bad for a guy who spent his whole childhood playing defence and never really crossing mid-field!

Fulham reject Blades' bid for Burn
by Dan | Sep 1, 2015 | Uncategorized | 0 comments
Fulham have turned down a bid from Sheffield United for central defender Dan Burn.
The former Darlington defender had been heavily linked with a move to the Blades overnight and could be pushed down the pecking order by the potential arrival of new centre backs at Craven Cottage on deadline day. Burn, who has 38 appearances for the Whites since joining Fulham in 2011, started the opening game of the season at Cardiff, but was then only restored to the side for the visit of Huddersfield Town. He played against Sheffield United as Fulham won the Capital One Cup meeting between the sides in midweek and started Saturday's 3-1 win at Rotherham.
United are apparently still confident that they will be able to conclude a permanent deal for the 23 year-old before the transfer deadline tonight.


Recently I went through Bill's website and I just couldn't believe my eyes. I'm highly impressed by Bill through his miraculous pictures. I have seen thousands of photographs but here I saw that every image has rare and unique features. As a professional photographer Bill has a blistering eye. He has wonderfully captured natural sceneries, antique items and Bill is superb with his editing too. "The Blue Angels at the 2015 Miramar Air Show" is my favorite photograph here. I totally enjoyed these master class photographs and I heartily appreciate Bill's beautiful, precious images.


UIUC creative Rell Shaw said he was doing something special for his birthday, and Monday he did, releasing his project, Breakthrough. The eight-song, 19-minute project sees Rell address a number of personal matters, weaving rhymes out of his insecurities and formulating his own sort of breakthrough out of them.
Check out Breakthrough for yourself on Spotify below and streaming on all platforms.
