Is it possible to ruin your chances of getting hired before you even meet your interviewer? Yes it is.
We frequently get questions from readers about the interview process. One of the most common is why they never make it past the first interview.
Although we covered interview tips in a recent blog, here's one more key fact—the formal interview process often starts before you even step foot in the building. We're talking about the phone interview and any other interactions you have with your recruiter or HR professional leading up to the interview. Many times, this is when mistakes happen.
Here at Movin' On Up, we don't fault jobseekers for tripping up. If you've never had a phone interview before, how are you supposed to know how that world works? Everyone has to start learning somewhere.
To help prevent you from committing these pre-interview mistakes, we asked our recruiters for their thoughts. Here's what they had to say.
If you're the best person for the job, recruiters and HR professionals want to see you succeed. After all, your success is their success! Although calling every once in a while is fine, this means that calling every day to check in is not only unrequired, but also rather bothersome. In extreme cases, applicants have even been known to treat their upcoming interview like a side dish to a main course. Literally.
"I once had an applicant call to follow up on their application while going through the drive through. Then they put us on hold to order a number one with a soda." — Tracy S., MI.
But the real reason to stay away from overcalling your recruiter or HR contact? It makes it look like you're unable to do work on your own, and need constant contact. Employers frequently look for applicants that are clearly able to handle deadlines and projects on their own.
The job search is hard. Constant rejection can sting. However, you should never bring up these experiences in your interactions with recruiters or HR professionals. They want to see you at your best, not your worst.
"I've had some applicants start our first phone call off by speaking poorly of their previous managers. While I understand bad managers exist, when an applicant starts off an interview that way it makes me think about how they'll talk about their future manager if we hire them. I've also had applicants speak at length on businesses they have applied to and been rejected from. Basically, try to keep negativity out of any interaction with your recruiter or HR professional."—Carlos D., OR.
"It's hard to make an offer to an applicant who reveals too many personal issues during a phone interview. Although I get that a bad divorce or single parent situation can be tough, I want to use the phone interview to see what you might look like as part of a business. Spending so much time on negative personal experiences takes away from that."—Roxanne P., TX.
Keep the conversation to your accomplishments and accolades. Although everyone has bad experiences, a phone interview is not a great place to share them.
Regardless of how friendly your recruiter or HR contact is, you still need to remain professional. Whether they're nervous or tired of the whole job search process, some applicants say or do things they shouldn't. This can be over the phone during an initial interview, or by email.
But what exactly does "professional" mean when it comes to the job search? Not doing these things.
"Sometimes I'll call an applicant and have a great phone interview, but then they disappear. I've had some cancel interviews multiple times with issues such as car trouble, personal problems, and last minute emergencies out of town. Once I received all three excuses from one person! Although I get that life happens, we can only reschedule so many times." —Tracy S., MI.
"What gets to me is when applicants don't do their research. I've had people come in saying they think we're just a temp service and don't do anything else before I can even tell them about how I can help them with a temp-to-hire or other eventual fulltime position. They come in hurt and frustrated before I even say anything. Since we're in a smaller market and have established clients, I might be the only one with access to that job posting. And they're perfect for it!"—Shannon J., WA.
The job search can be frustrating. However, put that frustration away when you're having a phone interview or emailing your recruiter or HR professional. Be the best version of yourself, and always believe that this one could really be the one. If you don't believe in yourself, they won't either.

Next Post Poll Results: Does Charitable Giving Matter?
Now, I have found useful information in this article as I am guilty of sabotaging my chances while speaking on the phone with a recruiter. I believe it was my discouraging remarks about the current Job market at the time. Many recruiters had contacted me several times and some created a positive feeling about my future employment status. I fullfilled my part by editing & submitting my resume and then…nothing. I felt used only so they could add another candidate to the pile they would send to their client for review. Much of my time and sometimes even expense seemed a waste when my resume would only get placed at the bottom of the pile. How could I know when all communication just ended without an explanation?

The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog (1927): Alfred Hitchcock
Directed by Alfred Hitcock, The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog (1927) was an important film in the master's early Silent Film career. The dark story concerns a man who may or may not be a "Jack the Ripper" style serial killer. The film contains Hitchcock's first on-screen cameo, early on as a telephone operator, which was done purely out of necessity after an extra did not show up... but it worked, though, and the cameo became a mainstay, with Hitch making a veiled appearance in all his films afterward. The film also contains many tense themes that Hitchcock would revisit time and time again in his later work. The cast is good, including Marie Ault, Arthur Chesney, Malcolm Keen and Ivor Novello.

As an artist, I began as a woodworker. I work with restored antique hand tools to produced functional furniture with modern aesthetic. My practice is evolving towards art installation; using traditional woodworking techniques to produce wearable, kinetic or interactive sculptures. As an academic, I made contributions on the influence of discourses and institutional culture in the evolution of shipping policies and markets. My current work proposes to view policy making as spaces for individual stakeholders to (re)appropriate the strong paradoxes embedded in their industrial identity. My residence will be the beginning of an exploration on how these two practices relate to each other.
In Bled, I will design and build a chair using locally available wood. I will work in situ with hand tools only aiming to translate some of the energy of the conference and its setting into a functional art piece. In doing so I will raise two questions. What about craft? While it encompasses all the artistic questioning of sense, it is necessarily rooted in technics, functionality and traditions. Does factoring these material dimensions changes how we think of art and organizations? And what about chairs? There are highly sculptural by nature and must work with the human body, but they are also highly political: often strong symbols of power. What paradoxes do they hold?
Emmanuel Guy is the AoMO Heather Hӧpfl Artist in Residence 2016-2018. He will be working throughout the conference and we encourage delegates to engage with him and his artwork as much as possible! Emmanuel will present 'the chair' on Sunday 4th September and speak about his craft, the conference experience and how he sees the Artist in Residency working for him and the AoMO community!

The announcement of a ban on sale of petrol or diesel powered cars from 2040 must rank right up there as one of the most momentous motoring announcements of recent years.
Heading for the freeways of America?
It's that time when many of us will be planning to escape the chill of spring and head to warmer, sunnier climes for a well-deserved break. A road trip in the USA is one of my favourite holiday pursuits, so if you are heading Stateside for the first time, here are some tips for drivers.
Driverless cars have been big in the news for some time. But, recent news stories this month have brought renewed focus on the issues involved.
From this autumn Police Scotland, are planning to act against drivers exceeding speed limits, even by as little as 1 mph and police forces in other parts of the UK could be set to follow.
Jaguar and Land Rover have been out this week conducting hot weather tests in Death Valley on Jaguar and Land Rover test mules.
I'm sure we have all experienced the situation. We exit a roundabout and don't notice that the indicator has not cancelled. It happened to me this morning and resulted in one of the closest calls I have had in recent years.
We're fifth in the UK!
Well that was a surprise! We just got a tweet mention.
No, that's not so unusual. But its content was. It was congratulating DriveBlog.co.uk for ranking in the top ten of UK automotive blogs.
Imagine the scenario. You are driving on a single-carriageway (two-way) road. So, in the UK, the speed limit is 60 mph, if a lower limit isn't posted. You are behind a vehicle doing 50 mph when you see an opportunity to overtake.
When your insurance renewal comes in, take the time to check it. Simply letting your policy renew could mean you lose out on quite significant savings.
It used to be that garages boasted when the cars on their used car lot had a heated rear window (HRW) or power assisted steering (PAS). But, now that almost every car has these, and much more, as standard the race is on to find technology to tease potential buyers.
What a disappointment! The DriveBlog household had become avid viewers of the WRC coverage on Dave, the TV channel. Now, as we start what could be one of the most interesting World Rally Championships for years, where do we turn?
Speaking with a motortrade insider about the benefits of four-wheel-drive in winter weather, like we have experienced in this country with a vengeance over the last couple of months.
When we headed out to the parking garage at the airport in Florida, we thought we knew what we were getting as our hire car. It was, after all, a Ford Focus – one of the most common cars on European roads.
I've just returned from a two-week driving trip in the USA. Although faced by the same financial stringencies we face here in the UK – it was notable that investment in transport, and roads in particular, seems to be continuing apace.
For the umpteenth time, it was not me! I did not crash the Pagani Zonda. Yes, I know it crashed very near to where I live. Yes, I have been known to write road tests for magazines.

Q: How to Add Visual Web Developer Express to Context Menu for Quick Editing I am using Windows 7 and Web Developer Express.
I do not like selecting Visual Web Developer all the time to edit an html, xml, etc. file. Instead, What I like to have is a "Edit with WebDev" menu after right clicking on the file desired to edit.
Can someone show me how to do this via Regedit?
Thanks in advance.

A: You don't need to use regedit.
Right click over each type of file in turn.
Select "Open With >" and then "Choose Program..."
Look for "Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2010 Express" in the list and select that. If it's not there select "Browse..." and find the exe in

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE

It's called VWDExpress.exe.
Though if Web Developer Express is installed correctly it should already be on the "Open With" list. You could try repairing the installation.

The unexpected friendship between Randi Weingarten and Bill Horan might sound like the beginning of a joke: The president of the American Federation of Teachers — a progressive union leader who happens to be a lesbian married to a rabbi — and the president of the Christian nonprofit humanitarian organization Operation Blessing, founded by the controversial evangelical Pat Robertson, both walk into a bar. Can you guess what happens next?
Unlike the classic joke, Weingarten and Horan didn't meet in a bar. They were introduced to each other last year, in the wake of Hurricane Maria, by Carmen Yulín Cruz (the mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico, whom you may remember went toe-to-toe with Donald Trump). What happened next may surprise — and delight — you.
Operation Blessing, which specializes in disaster relief, had been on the ground for two weeks in Puerto Rico, working to supply residents with water filters, among other essential goods and services. Power failures meant water treatment plants couldn't operate, so they'd focused on that urgent need at Cruz's request. Then Weingarten arrived in San Juan. She was particularly distressed by school closures, which spelled instability for students across the island.
She went to Cruz with one question: What can we do? Cruz pointed the union president in Horan's direction and suggested she work with Operation Blessing to get clean drinking water into schools so they could reopen. So Horan and Weingarten rushed to form the partnership they called Operation Agua, a campaign to deliver 100,000 water filtration systems to dozens of communities throughout Puerto Rico. The gravity-fed filters are meant for households or community settings and can produce up to 10 gallons of clean water per day.
Randi Weingarten (left); Evelyn DeJesus, vice president of AFT; and Bill Horan (right) at the Operation Agua hub in 2017.
"We may be strange bedfellows, but it's rare that people can just park whatever their political persuasions and ideology may be and try to help people in trouble, and that's what happened here," says Horan, who retired from Operation Blessing this year.
Weingarten first suggested raising money for the effort through AFT's disaster relief fund. Then Operation Blessing could use that money to pay for more filters and filtration devices, which it was already obtaining at a discount from the bath and kitchen manufacturing company Kohler. Weingarten appealed to union members to pitch in.
That took the pressure off Operation Blessing to fundraise. By the time Hurricane Maria struck in mid-September last year, following the devastation wrought by Irma and Harvey, the nonprofit began to see a "donor fatigue" dip in contributions for hurricane relief. Horan says AFT's fundraising — which has totaled about $2 million — likely doubled Operation Blessing's impact in Puerto Rico.
Weingarten also secured support from the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME); the Seafarers International Union (SIU); and the Asociación de Maestros de Puerto Rico (AMPR), the island's teachers union. Members of those organizations, as well as the Hispanic Federation, ultimately helped distribute the filters directly to communities in need.
Map of filter distribution events. Black pushpins mark places where Operation Agua handed out filters.
It wasn't long before TOTE Maritime, one of two shipping companies that operates vessels to and from Puerto Rico, agreed to send containers full of filtration systems from the U.S. to the island pro bono. Operation Blessing put its own expertise managing inventory and logistics to use. Operating out of a warehouse in San Juan, the nonprofit coordinated the distribution of shipping containers that arrived at the port, and received additional support from members of SIU.
Amancio Crespo, the SIU representative at the port, embraced his new calling. Acting as a conduit between the vessels, ship operators, and local communities, he ensured that filters made it to their intended destinations as quickly as possible. He tapped local union members to identify churches and community organizations whose members needed filtration devices.
Sometimes Crespo, the son of a Pentecostal minister, loaded up his own Dodge RAM 150 truck with pallets of filters and drove them to churches of all denominations where he had personal relationships. Hundreds of people would gather to receive a filter.
Operation Agua filter distributions in November 2017, in partnership with the Hispanic Federation.
By Christmas break, members of the AMPR had reached more than 270,000 students by distributing 3,849 water filters to most schools on the island. Operation Blessing trained members of the teachers union to assemble and clean the filters. The containers are reusable and the replaceable filters last for a year of continuous use, which means classrooms may well turn to them again in the wake of a hurricane. By the end of August, the group expects to bring the remaining 6,500 filtration systems to the island to meet the original distribution goal.
Weingarten and Horan forged what they hope is a lasting bond — and a model that people on different points of the political spectrum might consider emulating to help those in need.
It certainly helped, Weingarten and Horan say, that Cruz played matchmaker. Both of them trusted her vision and leadership. The campaign was also an effort to leverage Operation Blessing's logistics expertise and the AFT's vast union network in the name of bringing vulnerable people clean drinking water — a mission in which political fault lines are much easier to avoid than developing an alliance around, say, policy.
At a time when unions possess significantly diminished political power, Weingarten says what happened in Puerto Rico is a testament to their impact in local communities.
AFT has done previous relief work during other disasters, but the organization now has a "very robust" process for determining how it can contribute, says Weingarten. Neither she or Horan know exactly how they'll partner together in the future, but both are hopeful their connection will endure.

Q: Tkinter with Python I am quite new to Python and started learning Tkinter yesterday. I am creating a banking system and I have a Menu made out of the buttons. The problem that I have is that I do not know how to open an additional window when the button is clicked. I have tried with top=Toplevel(), but it only opens two windows on top of each other. What I need is for the additional window to open only when it is activated with a button(event). Can someone help me because I am really stuck as I have about six buttons?
My code so far is:
root.minsize(width=400, height=400)
root.maxsize(width=400, height=400)
root.configure(background='#666666')
label = Frame(root).pack()
Lb = Label(label, text='Welcome to Main Menu',bg='#e6e6e6', width=400).pack()

menu = Frame(root,).pack()
btn_1 = Button(menu, text='Make Deposit', width=15, height=2).pack(pady=5)
btn_2 = Button(menu, text='Withdrawal', width=15, height=2).pack(pady=5)
btn_3 = Button(menu, text='Accounts', width=15, height=2).pack(pady=5)
btn_4 = Button(menu, text='Balance', width=15 ,height=2).pack(pady=5)
btn_5 = Button(menu, text='Exit', width=15, height=2).pack(pady=5)
root.mainloop()

Thank you for the help in advance

A: Maybe this could work:
from Tkinter import *

class firstwindow:
    def __init__(self):
        #Variables
        self.root= Tk()
        self.switchbool=False
        #Widgets
        self.b = Button(self.root,text="goto second window",command= self.switch)
        self.b.grid()
        self.b2 = Button(self.root,text="close",command= self.root.quit)
        self.b2.grid()
        self.root.mainloop()

    #Function to chage window
    def switch(self):
        self.switchbool=True
        self.root.quit()
        self.root.destroy()

class secondwindow:
    def __init__(self):
        self.root= Tk()
        self.b2 = Button(self.root,text="close",command= self.root.quit)
        self.b2.grid()
        self.root.mainloop()

one = firstwindow()

if one.switchbool:
    two = secondwindow()

Take a look to the Tkinter reference. Check all universal methods and widgets methods. You can do anything you want.

A: Below is a small example of how you can open a window by clicking on a button. When the user clicks on the button, the function open_window, which was passed to the command option of the button, is called.
import tkinter as tk

def open_window():
    top = tk.Toplevel(root)
    tk.Button(top, text='Quit', command=top.destroy).pack(side='bottom')
    top.geometry('200x200')

root = tk.Tk()

tk.Button(root, text='Open', command=open_window).pack()
tk.Button(root, text='Quit', command=root.destroy).pack()

root.mainloop()


Capital Football enjoyed another successful year at the Girl's FFA National Youth Championships winning the under-13 Pool B competition and seeing an additional player identified for the Junior Matildas.
The under-13 team, coached by Matt Moore, went undefeated throughout the week claiming four wins and a draw and playing some exceptional football with Isabella Barac, winner of the Player of the Tournament in 2015, once more outstanding. Barac, a playmaking number ten, was top scorer with four goals and was a constant menace to the opposition.
In addition to Barac, defender Josephine Dubbert, all-rounder Emma Ilijoski, Alexia Forner and Jaide Trewin were exceptional with Forner and Trewin netting three goals apiece in what was a good all-round team display.
The under 15s team, coached by Obi Shadmaan and Ulisses Da Silva, had an outstanding 2016 Nationals campaign playing some excellent passages of football. The team finished the week in a commendable 4th position (out of 9 national squads), making this one of the best results at the FFA Girls National Youth Championships for the ACT in 6 years. Every player in the squad contributed to the success of this tournament. Lily Dawson (three) and Mia Giorgi (two) scored the majority of the team's goals.
Fourteen-year-old Cecilija Matic was identified from the under-15 group to attend the Junior Matildas training camp this week in Canberra, a just reward for some top class performances in defence and midfield across the course of the week. Matic joins Karly Roestbakken and Sarah Morgan in the Junior Matildas camp.
With the experience of performing in front of large crowds at the Coffs Harbour International Stadium, the 15s are ready to build on their confidence and growth as the region's future footballers during the next round of the Women's Premier League – the highest competition offered in women's football in the ACT.
All players are members of the CU Academy squad apart from those marked with an *. Their junior club of origin is listed above.

Committee on Safety of Medicines - Biologicals Sub-Committee
The Biologicals Sub-Committee of CSM recommends that very little is done about the threat of AIDS to haemophiliacs.
The possibility is considered of withdrawing clotting factor concentrates from the market and replacing them with cryoprecipitate. It is concluded that this is not feasible in the UK on grounds of supply. (Minutes Agenda Point 5.3)
The possibility is considered of withdrawing US preparations from the UK. It is concluded that this is not at present feasible on grounds of supply. Moreover, the perceived level of risk does not at present justify serious consideration of such a solution. (Minutes Agenda Point 5.4)

Introduction of this Disease into the Virgin Soil of the United Kingdom
In the summary of main points from a consideration of AIDs in relation to licensed blood products by the Committee on Safety of Medicines (Biologicals Subdivision) in July 1983, we read the following:
"There is need for research work on AIDS in the UK, especially in relation to the possible new introduction of this disease into the virgin soil of the United Kingdom.
The Sub-Committee was glad to learn that a number of groups, including the Medical Research Council, are planning and have started research work."
Note: We fail to understand why they talk about the "possible new introduction of this disease". Are we to believe that they somehow helped introduce it to the UK?
MRC Working Party - Controlled AIDS Study of UK Haemophiliacs
In an October 1983 meeting of the Medical Research Council, the Chairman, Dr Tyrrell, indicated the need to ensure that the best use be made of the special combination of suitable patients for study and the clinical, immunological, virological and other expertise that was available in the United Kingdom:
"The special features arising in relation to haemophilia were discussed and the possibility of identifying the role of imported Factor VIII concentrate used for UK patients was outlined. There followed discussion on the varying and considerable period of incubation (1 to 4 years) and the possible relationship between the size of inoculum of the PROPOSED AGENT and the length of latency." (page 2, point 3a, line 14)
"It was noted that blood product associated cases could enable some of these alternative hypotheses to be tested." (page 3, end of paragraph 4)
O"pportunities Special to the United Kingdom:"
"The Working Party sought to identify particular opportunities for research unique or special to the United Kingdom. The fact that the epidemic was lagging some three years behind that in the USA was considered an important factor in enabling the background against which AIDS develops to be delineated. This could enhance our ability to detect the emergence of AIDS and virological status of the high risk groups. The underlying immunological and virological status of the high risk groups BEFORE they encountered the "AIDS agent" could thus be defined." (page 4, point 4)
"The UK system for haemophilia treatment and for blood product organisation would allow detailed study of haemophilia associated cases which has not been possible in the USA due to their system of record keeping and organisation." (page 4, end of paragraph 3)
"The organisation of epidemiology in the United Kingdom was well suited to studying this problem. The importance of establishing such studies early in the emergence of disease was again stressed." (page 4, final paragraph, line 5)
"It was noted that in addition the UK offered particular opportunities to pursue carefully controlled and monitored therapeutic trials." (page 5, paragraph 2)
"It was thought that suspect blood products could provide valuable raw materials for work of this type. Indeed, the possibility of fractionating blood from patients with "pre-AIDS" in order to concentrate the agent was a notable suggestion."� (page 5, paragraph 4, line 10).
Type: Minutes - Medical Research Council Working Party on AIDS. Dated Monday 10th October 1983.
Note: The following departmental observers were present at this MRC meeting: Dr W. M. Prentice (SHHD) and Dr Diana M. Walford (DHSS)

Opera Colorado is Denver's premiere world-class opera company, presenting fine opera performances each season since 1981 at the city's Ellie Caulkins Opera House. The company mounts two full-scale opera performances each season in November and May, focusing on classics such as Verdi's La Traviata and Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro. An annual winter chamber performance is also presented, highlighting a new or contemporary opera work in a more intimate theater setting. Other performances throughout the year include recitals, panel discussions, and artist meet-and-greet events. Educational programming at the company reaches more than 45,000 participants each year, including in-school outreach programming. Opera guests can enjoy on-site dining at Kevin Taylor's at the Opera House, with bar drinks and snacks offered within the theater's lobby spaces before shows and during intermissions.
Take a tour of the Argo Gold Mine and Mill to learn about its history, including its tunnel, which processed more than $100m worth of gold ore after its completion in 1893. This Idaho Springs attraction also provides insight into the history of the gold rush in Colorado. You and your family will not only get to tour the mine and museum, but you can also try your hand at panning for gold.
The forty-five mile trip takes four and a half hours to ride, as it is still coal-fired, and winds along narrow mountain paths and in and out of canyons. Historic narration is available on the trains for interested tourists. Both the Silverton and Durango ends of the line have railroad museums; the Durango Museum contains artifacts pertaining to the history of railroading, and the Silverton Museum displays a Baldwin Locomotive from 1902 in the original 1882 Depot.

Graetz on the Jews Alliance with Moslems
During the Moorish Conquest of Spain
"The Jews of Africa, who at various times had emigrated thither from Spain, and their unlucky co-religionists of the Peninsula, made common cause with the Mahometan conqueror, Tarik, who brought over from Africa into Andalusia an army eager for the fray. After the battle of Xeres (July, 711), and the death of Roderic, the last of the Visigothic kings, the victorious Arabs pushed onward, and were everywhere supported by the Jews. In every city that they conquered, the Moslem generals were able to leave but a small garrison of their own troops, as they had need of every man for subjection of the country; they therefore confided them to the safekeeping of the Jews. In this manner the Jews, who had but lately been serfs, now became masters of the towns of Cordova, Granada, Malaga, and many others. When Tarik appeared before the capitol, Toledo, he found it occupied by a small garrison only, the nobles and clergy having found safety in flight. While the Christians were in church, praying for the safety of their country and religion, the Jews flung open the gates to the victorious Arabs (Palm Sunday, 712), receiving them with acclamations, and thus avenged themselves for the many miseries which had befallen them in the course of a century since the time of Reccared and Sisebut. The Capital also was entrusted by Tarik to the custody of the Jews, while he pushed on in pursuit of the cowardly Visogoths, who had sought safety in flight, for the purpose of recovering from them the treasure which they had carried off. Finally when Musa Ibn-Nosair, the Governor of Africa, brought a second army into Spain and conquered other cities, he also delivered them into the custody of the Jews."
— Heinrich Graetz, History of the Jews, Volume 3, page 109


Elgin Area School District U-46 is expanding its dual language program to middle schools next school year, officials said Monday.
Abbott, Ellis, Kimball, Larsen and Tefft middle schools are slated to implement the 80:20 Dual Language Program during the 2016-17 school year. "80:20" refers to the youngest students starting out with 80 percent of their instruction in Spanish and 20 percent in English. The Spanish-language portion is reduced by 10 percentage points each year from kindergarten through third grade until the split reaches 50-50, where it remains through sixth grade.
U-46 administrators presented their plan to expand the program into seventh grade next year to the school board Monday night.
"We have been preparing our teachers for the last two years," said Suzanne Johnson, U-46 assistant superintendent of teaching and learning.
Officials estimate it will cost between $200,000 and $600,000 for resources and teacher training to implement the program.
The state's second-largest school district serving more than 40,000 students is 52 percent Latino and 50 percent of students are native Spanish speakers, said Annette Acevedo, U-46 director of the English Language Learners program.
The district implemented dual language programs in prekindergarten through second grade at 29 elementary schools starting in the 2010-2011 school year. Since then, the program has expanded from 275 students to 8,382 students in 33 schools this year getting instruction in English and Spanish, officials said.
This year, native Spanish-speaking students who qualified for English Language Learner services are receiving dual language instruction in prekindergarten through sixth grade.
Native English speakers and English-dominant students also participate in the dual language program for enrichment in kindergarten through fifth grade in "two-way" dual language classes. These classrooms are made up of both Spanish- and English-dominant students giving them the opportunity to learn each other's languages and cultures as they continue developing their speaking and literacy skills, officials said.
Students in such programs are expected to perform in both languages as well or better than their peers on a range of metrics, including overall academic achievement, problem-solving ability, self-esteem, cross-cultural understanding and standardized testing.
"Dual language instruction is the only program proven to close the achievement gap between English Language Learners and their peers, and it offers English-dominant students a head start on bilingualism, preparing all students for an increasingly global world," Acevedo said.
Acevedo said that by the end of first grade, 87 percent of dual language students read at or above grade level in their native language, while more than half the students in both groups are reading at grade level in their second language.
Dual language students also are scoring above the national average in math and reading on tests in both languages, she said.
Nearly one-third of seventh graders -- 807 students -- are expected to participate in the dual language program next year. It will be rolled out to Spanish-speaking students first and then to English-dominant students the following year. Officials said they will conduct middle school informational meetings for parents at each of the five middle schools.

A new year, a new decade for the Mavericks
January 14, 2020 January 14, 2020 Maddie Diemert	0 Comments
Madison Diemert
Welcome back, Mavs. It's a new semester, a new year and an entirely new decade. Over the past semester, Minnesota State University, Mankato has accomplished many things.
The University built and inflated MNSU's new sports bubble, our football team reached the national championship game, we brought tailgating back to campus and the Timberwolves even returned to MNSU after a few years.
Outside of the sports world, Queer Prom made a comeback, Student Government's food drive was incredibly successful, Dr. Brenda Flannery was reinstated as Dean of the College of Business and we were even been paid visits from Governor Tim Walz and Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan.
So much has been achieved by MNSU and there is much more in store for the university. The beginning of the new year always feels like a fresh start and a chance to be better and greater than before. MNSU has the potential to keep improving and moving forward. Not only has the University been successful, but its students have been as well.
Maverick football's Alex Goettl was a finalist to win the William V. Campbell award, sophomore Jenny Vetter scored 10 game winning goals in women's soccer and Shane Zylstra became MNSU's all-time leader in touchdowns and receiving yards. MNSU's students have always gone above and beyond.
This year there will be an entirely new set of students at MNSU who will break records, create, inspire others and become better versions of themselves. It's a new year, a new decade and a new beginning for the university and its students. We accomplished much in the semester of 2019, and this semester is just the start of a long legacy for MNSU.

Louis Stephen Saint-Laurent (Compton, Quebec, 1 februari 1882 - Quebec Stad, 25 juli 1973) was een Canadees politicus die tussen 1948 en 1957 minister-president van zijn land was.

Saint-Laurent groeide op in de Franstalige provincie Quebec maar werd tweetalig opgevoed. In 1905 studeerde hij af in de rechten waarna hij een advocatenkantoor opende. Hij gaf tevens les aan de Laval Universiteit en maakte naam voor zichzelf als advocaat.

Politieke loopbaan
In 1941 werd Saint-Laurent door minister-president William Lyon Mackenzie King gevraagd minister van justitie te worden. Saint-Laurent accepteerde het aanbod en nam vervolgens een jaar later zitting in het Lagerhuis na een by-election (tussentijdse verkiezing) te hebben gewonnen als Liberaal kandidaat in het district Quebec Oost. Als kabinetslid wist hij de in Quebec controversiële wet die de dienstplicht invoerde tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog acceptabel te maken. Na de oorlog was hij, samen met Lester Pearson, Canadees delegatielid bij de Conferentie van San Francisco ter oprichting van de Verenigde Naties. Later nam hij als minister van justitie verregaande maatregelen tegen een netwerk van spionnen die staatsgeheimen aan de Sovjet-Unie hadden doorgespeeld.

In 1948 koos de Liberale Partij Saint-Laurent als opvolger van minister-president King nadat deze wegens een verslechterende gezondheid aangaf af te gaan treden. Als minister-president was Saint-Laurent voorstander van de nieuw op te richten Noord-Atlantische Verdragsorganisatie (NAVO), en Canadese deelname aan de Koreaanse Oorlog.

Op het terrein van binnenlandse politiek verstevigde hij de positite van Quebec in de Canadese Confederatie en werd Newfoundland de tiende provincie van Canada. Hij benoemde tevens de eerste gouverneur-generaal van Canada en maakte van het Canadees Hooggerechtshof het hoogste rechtsorgaan van het land. Immigratie werd verder aangemoedigd en sociale voorzieningen uitgebreid.

Saint-Laurents populariteit en een groeiende economie zorgde ervoor dat in zowel 1949 als in 1953 de Liberalen een grote meerderheid wonnen tijdens parlementsverkiezingen die in die jaren werd gehouden.

Na 1953 kwam aan de populariteit van Saint-Laurents regering langzaam aan een einde. Onder meer tijdens de Suezcrisis, waarbij Saint-Laurent zijn afkeur over de Britse en Franse invasie uitsprak terwijl een groot deel van de Canadezen de acties van beide landen steunde, verloor Saint-Laurent veel prestige in eigen land. Zijn economische maatregelen gedurende het midden van de jaren 50, toen de economische groei tot stilstand kwam en de werkloosheid toenam, gaven de leider van de Conservatieve Partij, John Diefenbaker de gelegenheid een felle campagne tegen de Liberalen te voeren tijdens de parlementsverkiezingen die voor 1957 waren uitgeschreven en waarbij de Conservatieven 112 zetels wonnen tegenover 105 voor de Liberalen.

Op 10 juni 1957 trad Saint-Laurent af als minister-president ten gunste van Diefenbaker en na enige maanden als leider van de oppositie te hebben gefungeerd trok hij zich terug uit de politiek. Saint-Laurent overleed in 1973 op 91-jarige leeftijd in Quebec.

Notes of Scent & Flavor
"With over 200 identifiable flavors, Woodford Reserve is a preferred bourbon for bartenders and chefs."
The art of making fine bourbon first took place on the site of the Woodford Reserve Distillery, a National Historic Landmark, in 1812. The perfectly balanced taste of our Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is comprised of more than 200 detectable flavor notes, from bold grain and wood, to sweet aromatics, spice, and fruit & floral notes. The current site of the Woodford Reserve Distillery was originally founded in 1812 by Elijah Pepper, making it one of America's oldest operating bourbon distilleries. Often cited as the birthplace of bourbon, it was here in 1838 that Dr James Crow perfected the "Sour Mash" process that is still used in bourbon production today, adding to the distillery's historical value. In fact, in 1995 the distillery was officially recognized by the US Government and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, culminating in its recognition as a National Historic Landmark in 2000.

Ron Fricker, professor and head of the Department of Statistics in the Virginia Tech College of Science, has accepted a new position within the college as associate dean for faculty affairs and administration.
In his new role, Fricker will assist in the recruitment, retention, and development of faculty.
"Ron has been an integral part of the university's strategic planning process and will now help strengthen the College of Science's ability to develop and implement a strategy that puts it at the forefront of re-imagining science, education, and research for the coming decades," said Sally C. Morton, dean of the college.
Taking the helm as interim head of statistics will be Dave Higdon, a professor in the department and a faculty researcher with the Virginia Tech Biocomplexity Institute's Social and Decision Analytics Laboratory. Higdon will work closely with Pang Du, associate department head of statistics.
Prior to coming to Virginia Tech in 2015, Fricker was a professor in the Operations Research Department at the Naval Postgraduate School in California. Fricker also has served as associate director of the National Security Research Division and a senior statistician at the RAND Corp., where he oversaw a $40 million research portfolio conducted by the National Defense Research Institute, a federally funded research and development center. He has more 20 years of statistics experience, including work in both corporate and academic settings, and conducting research on Gulf War illnesses, military recruiting and retention, disease detection and surveillance, and body armor testing.
He is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association (ASA), a former chair of the ASA Section of Statistics in Defense and National Security, and an elected member of the International Statistical Institute.
Fricker earned his bachelor's degree with merit in mathematics from the United States Naval Academy in 1982, his master's degree in operations research from The George Washington University in 1991, and a master's degree and a doctorate in statistics from Yale University, in, respectively, 1994 and 1997.

The EMS union representing Cadet, 34, said she was on light duty due to her asthma and likely became infected while working out of her station house, WPIX reported.
After Cadet was hospitalized, her mother, Jessie, reportedly lobbied for first responders to receive greater protection as they continue to battle COVID-19.
"She had to be at work and that was unfortunate for her," Jessie had said. "That day she went to work and the next day she didn't make it."

Fellow FDNY paramedic Sherry Singleton created a GoFundMe page for Cadet's medical expenses and began posting updates about her condition.
"She spent 28 days on life support and she is OFF LIFE SUPPORT and breathing on her own‼" one update said. On Sunday Singleton announced that Cadet was "awake, talking and recovering at home."
"Thank you ALL so much for your continued prayers and your generosity," Singleton added. "Her rehabilitation and journey to 100% recovery begins."
The GoFundMe effort has raised over $18,600 with a goal of $100,000.

Service and Therapy Dogs
Myths Busted
Home › Retirement
Retirement offers a lot of exciting opportunities for greyhounds such as becoming service or therapy dogs, lure coursing, nose work, and agility to name a few.
The Decision to Retire
There can be many reasons why the decision to retire a racing greyhound is made. The greyhound may be slowing down, may be prone to an injury, may have lost interest, may not be performing at their peak. Whatever the reason, there is a network of adoption groups ready to find the retired racer their adoptive home.
FACT: Greyhound adoption was started by the industry.
In the United States, the National Greyhound Association recognizes and endorses adoption groups that are responsible and professional in following guidelines and best practices towards the sport and the dogs. This list of credible and responsible adoption groups can be found at the National Greyhound Association Responsible Adoption Groups listing.
About Retirment
Farms and Training Farms
Greyhounds retire from the farms and training farms when they show no interest in chasing a lure, have an injury, or are not able to run at current track speeds safely. They are then available for adoption through an adoption group or privately by an owner.
Greyhounds retire from the tracks for the same reasons they do on the farms. They may also retire at an owner's request or when their running style makes conditions unsafe for themselves or other dogs on the track. They are then available for adoption through an adoption group or privately by an owner.
Puppies, and puppies from unplanned litters, are also available for adoption through an adoption group or privately by an owner. Puppies are very popular and often have long waiting lists to adopt.
Adoption Rate
Greyhounds have an estimated 95% adoption rate, with thousands of dogs being placed in homes each year. At this
time, there is no mandatory reporting for kennels or adoption groups, to confirm a
more accurate number, although track kennels do keep logs as to where the dogs
go after retiring.
Private Adoptions
Dogs that are not placed with adoption groups or adopted out privately, often claimed to be missing, retire and live with
their owners or on a farm, where they may be bred for future litters.
The Story of Voodoo Rhythm "Gator"
By Brandi Quinn ©2014
I was looking to buy a greyhound puppy to raise for lure coursing and had contacted a few racing breeders to see what pups they had available. Bob Crossland heard I was looking and let me know he had a few pups available. I asked him to send me information on the male pups he had. As soon as I saw the photo of the fat black seven month old greyhound pup, I knew I had to see his breeding lines. I checked Greyhound Data and saw that he was from an Irish sire that I really liked and knew that was the dog for me.
Gator pictured on the farm and at home with permission from Brandi Quinn.
I spent a few weeks trying to get him on a hauler going north to get him home, but had no luck. I had spoken with Bob a few times and we decided to send him to a finishing farm for race training when he was old enough. He was a racing greyhound why deny him that experience and fun,? It also gave me time to find a way to get him to Canada.
Gator was finished/trained in Clearwater, Kansas and then made his way to Jacksonville, Florida to start his racing career. He was a good racer and ran 25 official races. Two were preliminary stakes races and he held his own against some very tough competition. He sustained a minor injury on the track and had to take some time off to rehab. I took this as a sign that he was ready to come home, so I headed down to Florida to pick him up.
Gator pictured in the show ring with permission from Brandi Quinn.
Since coming home in October 2013 he has settled in like he has been here his whole life. We have other greyhounds who are great lure coursing dogs and we know how much Gator enjoys running, so we thought we'd try him out and see how he did. He had already been rehabbed and was back in tip top shape, so he attended his first field trial in May 2014. He has done very well.
Gator's ribbons pictured with permission from Brandi Quinn.
I also decided to try him at conformation (breed show) because he has many attributes that I feel would impress the judges. So far he has done well and earned some pretty ribbons in the process. He has just started all of this and we have high hopes for many great accomplishments in the future.
Ranger's Story
By Karen Safarik Owen ©2014
Sweet snuggles…
I would like to tell you all Ranger's story. About two months ago (September 2014) Ranger was part of a terrible hoarding situation. He was a very sick feral dog with Lyme disease and Ehrlichia, he was heart worm positive, and 25 minutes from the euthanasia deadline. He was absolutely terrified!
Ranger pictured with permission from Karen Owen.
For two weeks, we had to carry him crate and all out to the backyard and turn it upside down to get him to come out and go potty. But, the greyhounds Callie and Lilly with their patient, quiet presence just sat with him outside of his crate for many, many days. They seemed to fully understand Ranger's fear and the fact that he did not feel well in the midst of all his medical treatment.
Callie and Lilly pictured with permission from Karen Owen.
In short, they showed him the ropes; showed him how to be part of a family. He is a foster fail, largely thanks to the greys who were the best thing ever for a terrified, feral dog from a rural area of Missouri. Callie, Lilly, and Sandy, the poodle, all love their Ranger boy!
We continue to be amazed at the amount of care and love our greys have for us, for each other, and other animals that are in need.
Dewclaws
Treatment of Dewclaw Injuries
Dewclaw injuries tend to be the type of injury you can treat at home. It's important to keep the area clean, prevent the dog from licking it, and just generally leave it alone as much as possible. It's better not to wrap it in any way as often the wrap will irritate it and end up doing more harm than good. While the injury is healing you should limit the dog to walks, no running.
If there is swelling with any type of claw or digit injury, some trainers suggest taking the nail off at its base. This reduces the pressure and swelling which in turn will accelerate the healing. Other people suggest cutting the nail off just below the break to prevent further injury.
You'll want see your vet if there is infection, persistent bleeding,,,, and swelling.
Dewclaw Removal?
Removing dewclaws is controversial in general. They are removed in many breeds, not just racing greyhounds. Some people remove them because they consider the dewclaw to be a useless appendage that just gets in the way.
Others keep them because they feel that dewclaws are important, even necessary. One reason for this is that dogs use the dewclaws to hold and grip things. Another reason is that they feel that the dewclaws help to reduce the torque on the leg when the dogs are running and turning which will help to prevent injuries.
Breeders have different opinions on whether or not you should remove the dewclaws. The vast majority of racing greyhounds have their dewclaws. But, if the breeder feels they should be removed, it is done shortly after birth (at 2-5 days). This is why you may adopt one retired racer who has dewclaws and another who doesn't.
Dogs Who Need to Gain Weight But Won't
By Jey Flick ©2014
Before you begin: Are you sure your dog needs to gain weight? If in doubt review Greyhound Crossroads' How To Know If Your Greyhound Is At The Proper Weight or post pictures for greyhound conditioning experts to evaluate. Remember that a retired dog can drop below racing weight without being too thin, and that body type can contribute to a bony appearance.

Shy Greyhounds – The Why and How to Help
By Jason Hancock ©2014
Shortly after losing my big ole Toby boy to cancer, I located a small female who had a little story. In September 2011 while racing at Flagler, she broke her right hock. She was pulled from the racing kennel and sent to the prison program in Hialeah, FL. The prisoners noted on her sheet that her back leg had something wrong with it and that she was shy. She was removed from the prison program and a corrective surgery was completed on her hock. After rehab in Florida she went to a home in South Carolina where she became comfortable, she was not cat safe. The adopters also had an issue with her being shy and her having little interaction with them.
Rita pictured with permission from Jason Hancock.
On May 20th 2012, I picked Rita up at the Virginia/North Carolina state line. She was scared and would not come out of the van. After sitting with her for a few minutes I was able to get her to come out. She had a concerned look in her eye and was very unsure of her surroundings.
Even though I had seen several shy hounds in the kennel, I'd never had close contact with a shy hound away from the kennel setting or in my own home. It took a few weeks of living with Rita to get her to open up a little bit. She wasn't afraid of me, or anyone else for that matter, she was very reserved and chose her friends wisely. This behavior got me thinking about how and why they act this way.
I contacted Rita's racing owner/breeder and her trainer. Her breeder told me that she was one of four in the litter and that she was shy from day one. He said that sometimes it is the way they are treated by their siblings and other times it is simply genetics. As her breeder explained it to me; just as people are different each greyhound he has raised in 30 years has been different.
Rita's trainer at Victoryland told me that when she arrived there she was shy and reserved. He said that she was not what he would consider a spook and that you could handle Rita. He actually started laughing and told me that he had been a trainer for about 10 years and Rita was the first dog he ever had that was carried off the track because she would roll over on her back at the escape after the race was over. If she did not roll over on her back, he said that when the other dogs were trying to get to the lure, Rita would run off the track to the pickup area and right to him.
In Rita's two years with me and my family she has made a huge turnaround. Rita is still reserved and takes her time getting to know people but she has become much more confident. This year we attended Mountain Hounds, a local group's event in Gatlinburg, TN. Rita was a totally different dog than she was two years ago. People who knew Rita commented on how different and more confident she was now. I took her on a walk through downtown Gatlinburg on Friday night and 1,000's of people were in the streets. Rita was great and made me proud! At one point while we were eating ice cream, she laid down on the sidewalk, watched as the people passed, and the occasional visitor petted her head.
Rita and Chucky pictured with permission from Jason Hancock.
After reading numerous articles and seeing the negative propaganda about the alleged "abuse" that causes them to be shy, I decided to write this. At no time in Rita's life has she EVER been abused or mistreated. I know her breeder. He is a very reputable breeder in the National Greyhound Association and has been for years. As a matter of fact, the other three dogs in her litter are the opposite of Rita including Chucky, who lives with us.
Before believing everything you read, please do your homework. If you have a shy dog I encourage you to contact the breeder. I would be willing to bet that your shy dog was shy from a very young age, as most are. I also suggest that you encourage your shy dog to do and try new things. Rita would not be who she is today if I had not pushed her to do things she didn't want to. If your hound is a true spook and afraid of everything, please use your common sense and do what is best for your hound.
Remarkable Reunion
By Denise Henderson ©2014
CJK Highway was born at our home along with his littermates. They lived in our house and spent their days running in the fields, chasing ducks, and swimming in the pond.
The time finally came for them to go off to the training farm in Oklahoma. When they were ready for racing, we contacted a friend of ours named Steve Schultz, who had a kennel in Colorado. He agreed to take our dogs, so they began their racing careers. They were doing well and we knew they were being well cared for.
Highway pictured with permission from Denise Henderson.
We decided to open a kennel in Wisconsin and went to Colorado to pick up our dogs. Steve told us how much he loved Highway. I knew they had a strong bond by the way Highway stayed right by his side. I would later learn just how strong that bond was. Highway raced for us for the next two years winning grade A 3/8ths races and becoming a fan favorite. He was the "King of the Kennel" and was spoiled rotten by us all. He pranced around the kennel demanding your attention all day long.
Steve called one day to say that he would be stopping by for a visit. Highway was racing that day so Steve met us in the parking lot at weigh-in. Highway came bouncing out of the truck as usual. When he saw Steve, he froze for a split second then about tore my arm off trying to get to him. He jumped up on him, giving him the biggest, sloppiest greyhound hug ever! He was bouncing, jumping, and wiggling all at the same time.
I stood there thinking, "Wait a minute, you're my dog. I raised you, spoiled you, and treat you like royalty. You're supposed to love me like that!" But watching them I realized that no matter how well you treat your dog, they always have that special trainer in their lives whom they long to be with. For Highway, that special trainer was Steve.
Highway lived with us after retirement, but when he got that faraway look in his eyes, we knew he was thinking of Steve and the time he spent in his kennel. Thank you Steve and all the other trainers who care for our dogs like they were their own.

Home » Hummingbird Tattoo » Currently viewing..
This flexibility makes the hummingbird style tattoo one of the tattoo that can easily applied into other people without too much problem. Of course, it does not mean that we can easily put different types of tattoo in conjunction with this tattoo. There are several tattoo that can go well with the hummingbird design and some that does not.
One of the tattoo design that will fit with the hummingbird design is the flower tattoo design. There are several reason of this compatibility. However the most usual and common is because the design of flower is quite compatible with hummingbird. Additionally, hummingbird are also frequently found near flowers which makes it a great combination design.
The second design inspiration that can also go well with the hummingbird design is other animal design. For examples a cat and dog tattoo. It may look cute and will be much better for people who loves cute tattoo combination and design. This means that the tattoo are not for everyone. However, some tattoo artist has been known to make a more interesting design which will give it unique look.

Think Singapore is boring? Ran out of ideas on what to do over the weekend? Here are ways to make the coming year a spectacular one of new discoveries.
If your child has been hankering after a pair of blades, now is a great time to get started on the sport. Or sign your kids up for baking, drama, dance or art classes or camps, where they'll get to pick up a new skill and meet new friends, and possibly free you up for an hour or more to do your own thing.
Introduce your kids to a different slice of life. Here in Singapore, we are pretty well acquainted with the Chinese, Malay, Indian and Eurasian culture, but how about getting to know what the Mexicans, Africans, Swedish or Icelanders are like? Understand a different culture, taste their cuisine, try your hand at their handicrafts and watch a documentary or two. If you're wondering where to start, the library is a great first step, followed by food blog recommendations.
Fun for free is available islandwide at the many playgrounds dotted around the neighbourhoods. Take a break from your regular haunts on the weekends and try visiting new playgrounds and park. The National Parks Board website is a great online resource to get you started!
Did you know that you can go "overseas" without ever taking a plane ride? You won't even need your passport. Simply leave the murky waters of our East Coast Park beach behind and tread into the blue depths of the sea on one of the offshore islands in our territory. Adventures await you on Chek Java, Kusu Island, Sisters' Island, St John's Island, Lazarus Island, and more!
Visit the iconic sites of our little nation, and take a step back in time to appreciate the past. Let your children have a taste of what their grandparents' life was like with a morning spent at Kampong Lorong Buangkok, the last surviving kampong which was built in 1956 and is still around today.
If your children are slightly older, sign up for a walking tour to explore a neighbourhood in Singapore, such as Toa Payoh, Tiong Bahru or Kampong Glam. You'll be surprised by the treasures of information and experiences that are waiting to be discovered. For more info on the walking tours, go to Your Singapore walking tour or singaporefootprints.com.
It's time to scale new heights and take in the view of our Little Red Dot! Check out the 56th storey of ION Orchard the next time you're in town, and you'll be surprised by the amazing view the observatory (ION Sky) affords – for free.
Another great spot you might want to try is The Pinnacle@Duxton, one of Singapore's most iconic residential buildings located in Tanjong Pagar. For $5 per person, you can access to the 50th storey skypark which gives you a great view of the city. Only 1000 people are allowed on the skybridge at any one time, so be prepared for some waiting during peak periods!
The holidays are a great time to catch some performances and exhibitions, and expose your children to the Arts. The Esplanade is one our top picks to check out for free concerts and their extensive library is worth a visit while you're there.
If museums are more your thing, visit the ION Art Gallery, located at the 4th floor of ION Orchard, to admire contemporary works by local and international artists, or The Arts House, to catch lesser-known films or watch a play.
Let your kids have the creative license to "vandalise" legally over at Somerset Skate Park (beside Somerset MRT Station). Over there, it is actually legal to doodle or draw on the walls and skateboarding ramps – in broad daylight! Spray paints not included.
Teach your children to appreciate the work that goes into the manufacturing process. From seeing how bread is made the old-school way in a traditional bakery, to finding out Yakult is manufacture, or how water is recycled at the NEWater Visitor Centre, make time for these precious lessons of a different kind. You might even learn a few things yourself, or correct some long-held misconceptions.
Few Singaporeans know about the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, a pocket of nature on our little island that boasts a great variety of wildlife creature and bird species. Children will also get to encounter mangrove swamps and lots of greenery, which is definitely a rare sight in our concrete jungle city.
Bring insect repellent and lots of water to combat the mosquitoes and the heat. The reserve may be a bit tricky to find, but it's more than worth the trip. Find it at 301 Neo Tiew Crescent, Singapore 718925. Entry is free on weekdays, but a charge of $1.00 for adults and $0.50 for children is applicable on weekends and public holidays.
Get in touch with your roots and renew your connection with the land and with others through a variety of tasks to upkeep Kampung Kampus (formerly known as Bottle Tree Park) located in Yishun. It is currently being built up by volunteers from all walks of life by Ground-Up Initiative.
Balik Kampung (meaning 'going home' in Malay) happens every Saturday and is their flagship community programme. Volunteers work on the land together through farming, cooking and housekeeping to build up and maintain the space. Registration is free.

The River Murray Boat Owners Association (RMBOA) of South Australia is a group who enjoy the Murray for its beauty, wildlife, vegetation, recreational qualities and priceless value to our country. Our code of practice is designed so that we do not degrade these qualities or negatively impact on other river users.
We are perhaps best known for conducting the biennial "River Ramble". This event is not a race and is conducted at a leisurely and civilised pace. The Ramble is aimed at displacement vessels and only travels about 20 to 40 kilometres a day, which gives crews ample time to enjoy the river views; meet old, or make new, friends; and perhaps get a feeling for the history of the river. The always-colourful fleet is made up of all types of vessels from luxury houseboats to modest tinnies, or even kayaks!
Four times a year (in non Ramble years) we conduct informal "Mini Ambles". These Mini-Ambles may include the Annual General Meeting or the Christmas Party on the riverbank.
The RMBOA represents its members to government organisations such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Department of Water, the Department of Transport, Energy and Infrastructure (DTEI) and SA Planning.
The RMBOA supports environmental responsibility, but resists unreasonable or impractical controls and regulations that will divide river users and diminish enjoyment of the river for all.
To assist in protecting the River Murray and its environs from all forms of damage, pollution and destruction by the education and self-discipline of all who use it.
To communicate with members and boat owners by keeping them informed of relevant developments.
To liaise with governments and their instrumentalities, and other relevant organisations having any form of control or interest in the river and its environment.
To arrange, manage and co-ordinate functions of recreation, education and conservation surrounding the river, to benefit members and other users of the river.
