Reviews - The Cold War
Wow! This is an excellent webquest that covers four decades of the Cold War in an engaging, challenging, and creative way. The entire unit is covered in a lengthy PowerPoint that includes student directions, active links with meaningful assignments, video clips, accurate content about the time period, Ohio state standards, ideas for differentiation and extensions, and much much more. The PPT could be used as is or broken down into different parts to add depth to any Cold War unit. It should be noted that student names will have to be changed in the slide show to reflect individual classrooms. It would be helpful to have hard copy handouts of some of the culminating assignments for those students that might not have internet or computer access at home.
Information - The Cold War
This Cold War webquest is quite comprehensive. It walks students through the four decasdes of the Cold War and covers not only the history of the Cold War and the historical events of the timeperiod, but also how these events impacted the culture. The unit was designed to last a full grading period and to be supplemented with mini lectures by the instructor. The webquest includes individual and group work, covers all levels of Bloom's taxonomy and many of Gardner's multiple intelligences. It links to many YouTube videos, and if these are blocked, it would be recommended that you create a free wiki at www.pbwiki.com and use the YouTube embed codes to add the videos to the wiki. Links can easily be changed in the PowerPoint so students can then access te videos via the wiki so they are not exposed to the additional content on YouTube.

B U B B L E G A R M: Tanning Update!
I used the dry face mist self tan by Ambre Solaire the evening I purchased it. I liked the effect so much that I went to Asda again the next evening to purchase the dry body mist.
Why? Because, it was quick and easy to apply. It gave me a natural looking golden bronze colour that developed in one night. It dried instantly, I didn't have to rub the product in and it didn't have that nasty fake tan scent.
Please note, I'm not saying that being tanned is the way forward, but me being Meditteranean and generally quite tanned, it just makes me feel more comfortable when I have a golden glow to my skin. Some people favour paleness which looks exquisite, but sadly not on me.
Below is a photo of what I looked like after I used the face mist on my face and chest area overnight. You can see that it made a significant difference, look at my white shoulder. I actually look like I have tan lines from sunbathing.
After using the body mist self tan last night, I am now even and looking quite golden. Application was quick as the aerosol can makes it a breeze, it dried within about 5 seconds, so I was able to get dressed almost immediately unlike the Garnier summer body spray mist I usually use which takes AGES to dry.
However, I wouldn't recommend using it right before bed, as I did get subtle crease marks from my duvet which doesn't look pretty. I would suggest using it a couple of hours before going to sleep or during the day.
As with any fake tan, you absolutely HAVE to exfoliate your whole body and moisturise your knees and elbows to ensure a perfect finish.
Available in 2 choices; (fair - medium) and (medium - dark) skin tones, I purchased the medium - dark option as I wanted a dramatic change as opposed to a subtle one as I felt SUPER pale. I was given the fair - medium option for the body mist at a Garnier event but, I felt like it didn't do enough for me to consider it 'special'.
Will I repurchase? Yes, it does the job. I LOVE the application, it's SO quick and simple to apply. It's quite similar to the St Tropez bronzing spray self tan but not as expensive. I still like my Garnier gradual tanner, which I may use when I want moisture and a more subtle colour. On an extra note, I binned my St Moriz as I HATE the application of it, once I remove the cap the mousse goes everywhere and it just feels too messy.
..hello..I have been reading so many good reviews about st.moritz and I give it a try, and I can honestly say - the worst 4£ I EVER spent ..such a horrible "thing" ..Love dry mist by garnier..
However, I have to try this one.
Have a lovely night, Bubblegarm!!
Ooh you have got me in the mood for tanning now! It lifts your mood when you're nicely bronzed huh?! I use this the day before a night out, i love how you can spray it in any direction! Fab post!
I love this face spray and it smells good too, gives me a nice even colour even though I am quite fair. Haven't tried the body spray but want to give it a go now!
I trust your opinion on products, so I will probably purchase it one of those days!!!
Just a little question; is the face mist suitable for the body and/or vice versa?
I was thinking of saving some money and buying only one product, which one would be better for use on face AND body?
Do you think there are very many applications in a bottle? Once I start fake tanning, I tend to keep it up for ages, can be expensive. Liked Piz Buin, dial a shade, last yr but think there was some waste dialing a shade from a universal bottle.
With the body mist do you not have to rub it in at all?
I got this the other week but havnt tried it yet.
It does look very natural. I had a spray tan once and it messed my sheets up so bad I had to get new ones! I really wish I skin with a natural glowing tan all year round.
This sounds like a holy grail tanner! I have never used self tanner before because of my Indian origin, but I will recommended this to my friends!
Ooooh, this makes me crave the summer! I can't wait.
I love this! I allways have a bottle of this in my wardrobe..its great on your legs!!
I use the same tanning bronzer, LOVE it!
@cbsg5861 thank you. I'm sure you could use either of them on the face or body, but I get scared to sometimes do that, but I would say get the body one as theres more product in it and use it all over.
@essjay23x yes, I would say it would last you a long time, but I havent used up my bottle yet so can't be exact.
@Sarbeauty you don't have to rub in anything, on the face or body!
@Sara wow thanks for your detailed post, I've tried the loreal ones, but not the hawaiin tropic. sounds good!

Ministry of Education Honours the Winners of the Emirates Award for Educational Excellence 2014
UAE, June 4, 2014 – H.E. Humaid Mohammed Al Qatami, Minister of Education, affirmed the ministry's continuing role in the development of the local educational system, abiding by the request of H.H. Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE and Ruler of Abu Dhabi, and H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, and the Supreme Council Members and rulers of the Emirates.
The statement of support was part of H.E. Al Qatami's speech delivered during a ceremony honoring the winners of the Emirates Award for Educational Excellence 2014, which was organized by the Ministry of Education (MoE), sponsored by DU Telcom and evaluated by Dubai Quality Group. During his speech, he also announced the new categories with a special program aimed at spreading the culture of quality and excellence among students. The program is also meant to motivate them to always aim for the top by giving their best in every endeavor.
H.E. Al Qatami said: "The initiative made by the Ministry of Education in its pursuit of development is a direct result of collective teamwork, creative thinking, and consistent efforts, while the achievements given by the Ministry to provide the best possible education and a good school role model is the direct result of the dedication and team spirit, bringing together those responsible for the planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. This gave the Ministry of Education the upper hand and a leading position. It won various awards and recognitions such as best government service via smartphones; the 'Abnaee' application; classification of center traders as a five-star service; the 'Mohammed bin Rashid for Excellence in Government Performance' awarded to team Mohammed bin Rashid for smart learning; and the 'Prime Minister Award' given to Khawla Al Hosni. In addition, we also received the international prize of high-level strategic planning, and international award in networking social. All these recognitions showed the importance of sustaining our efforts towards our aim to become the most advanced and developed organization, with our ultimate goal of achieving global competitiveness."
"We still have a lot of work to do as we remain steadfast in our progress and continuously form strategic partnerships with national institutions such as DU Telecom and Dubai Quality Group. We extend our gratitude and appreciation to both organizations for supporting the Emirates Award for Educational Excellence. We congratulate all winners. Today, we celebrate the efforts of our employees across levels that have worked hard and performed well, which made them deserving to win the Emirates Award for Educational Excellence," he added.
H.E. Marwan Al Sawaleh, MoE Undersecretary and Chairman of the Supreme Committee for the award, said: "The number of contenders now doubled compared to the previous edition. This reflects our employees' passion for excellence and commitment to deliver better education. In addition, we are eager to consistently improve the quality of our performance. The award was launched to promote the principles of excellence and the culture of quality and competitiveness within the ministry and its affiliates."
He thanked DU for its full support that directly contributed to the attainment of the award's objectives. He recognized everyone's efforts, teamwork and cooperative spirit as well. He also expressed his appreciation to the administrations of the educational zones.
Speaking on the occasion, Fahad Al Hassawi, Chief Commercial Officer, DU, said: "We are proud to collaborate with the Ministry of Education for the second Emirates Award for Educational Excellence. We congratulate the winners from the educational institutions, faculties, and administrative personnel who contributed and still contributing to the strengthening of the UAE educational system."
Al Hassawi added: "Our partnership with the Ministry of Education is part of our social responsibility to educate the young people as our future leaders and achieve sustainable development. We are one with the objectives of the award in its efforts to promote quality and high standards in various fields of the learning process. A strong educational system leads to the creation of a generation of skilled graduates, who will eventually become leaders in the various institutions of society."
For their part, the honorees expressed their appreciation to the ministry. They also commended the MoE for its development initiatives which focus on strengthening the performance and skills of its human resources, encouraging teamwork and promoting a healthy work environment.

This week we start a new series titled, Who is Jesus? Today, our topic is Jesus is the Son of God. We look for proof from scripture, then, we look to see what it means for us.
Sermon from Waverly First Baptist Church. This week we are looking at Psalm 71. Sometimes we all need a rescue. We'll see what we need to know about getting rescued.
Sermon from Waverly First Baptist Church. This week we look at love. What does it mean to love? How do we love like Christ. What can learn from Paul's description of love in 1 Corinthians 13?


A simple chocolate bar is one of life's underrated pleasures.
As kids, coming across a chocolate bar was like discovering a bar of literal gold. Even as an adult, the occasional chocolate bar never loses its lustre.
With dozens of choices out there, there is no shortage of options to get your chocolate fix.
Some bars are more worth your time and the calories than others, so, if you're going to indulge, it may as well be something that sparks joy (shoutout to Marie Kondo).
A few qualifiers: To land on this list, it had to be a bar (which excludes entries like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and Smarties) and it also must contain chocolate (which takes Hershey's Cookies 'N' Creme out of the running).
In no uncertain terms, this is a definitive list of chocolate bars ranked from worst to best.
In some people's mind, the Big Turk is a Turkish delicacy. To others, it's a sick joke – a bizarre licorice-like substance covered with chocolate. Whose grandparents were the mastermind behind this trick, anyway?
Considered to be the low-quality version of the Aero bar below, Mirage also loses points compared to Aero for the lack of flavour varieties.
Aero's magical "chocolate bubbles" are great. The problem with Aero bars is they're so damn light and it feels like you're getting ripped off. If the bubbles account for 30 percent of the bar, doesn't it mean you're getting 30 percent less chocolate?
It wasn't until years later that most people discovered you can just buy straight-up sponge toffee. Crunchie bars also come with that borderline teeth-hurting-crunch.
If you enjoy the taste of Mars bars but prefer a substandard comparable, then 3 Musketeers is for you.
This is usually a last-ditch effort to inject some chocolate into your day, but there's nothing wrong with a straight-up Hershey Bar. It does exactly what it's supposed to.
Apparently, Mr. Big is one of the largest-sized chocolate bars in Canada. Feel free to make your own joke here.
Much like the Hershey Bar, there's nothing incredibly special about the Jersey Milk, which makes it the perfect vessel for a s'more.
The Oh Henry! ranks middle-of-the-pack on this list, but if you ever spot the elusive peanut butter Oh Henry!, it will change your life.
You may not like coconut – which is totally cool – but before you completely write it off as an ingredient, try a Bounty bar. There's something about it that evokes a tropical feeling. It's pretty powerful stuff people.
Chocolate, peanut butter, caramel – what's not to like? The Wunderbar takes everything that's great about chocolate bars and marries them in perfect harmony.
If you're a generous person, you usually share a Twix bar with the next closest person. Or if you're George Costanza, you want to get your grubby hands on all the Twix for yourself.
There is a systematic method to devouring a Caramilk bar. If you know someone who attacks a Caramilk outright like a conventional bar, you should reevaluate your relationship with that person. You snap and bite each square separately. That's how Caramilk is meant to be enjoyed.
A weird Canadian delicacy, but one that seems to get better with age. The coffee-flavoured wafer bar is a unique treat that screams "Canada." It also evokes fond memories of those sweet old ladies from that classic Coffee Crisp commercial.
Yes, you've probably had that chocolate-soda-cracker concoction masquerading as a Skor bar. Just save yourself the trouble and grab a couple of authentic Skor bars instead. It's also one of the best bars on the list as an ice cream topping.
Snickers is a well-built chocolate bar. In a word, Snickers is "dense". With the sheer weight of these things, it always feels like you get your money's worth. It's a wonder they're able to pack nougat, caramel, and peanuts underneath the hood.
Another Canada-only exclusive to the list, which makes you wonder why the rest of the world hasn't caught on to this beauty. Crispy Crunch does everything right where it's American cousin, the Butterfinger, goes wrong.
Some of the best things in life are often the simplest. Case in point, the modest Mars bar. There are no frills here, just chocolately, caramely, nougaty goodness.
Is there anyone in their right mind who doesn't love a Kit Kat bar? Four wafers perfectly coated in milk chocolate. It's the gold standard for chocolate bars in Canada.
