  • Ancient Skiers Book 2014
    Second Edition - 2014 INTRODUCTION When I was asked if I would write the history of the Ancient Skiers, I was excited and willing. My husband, Jim, and I were a part of those early skiers during those memorable times. We had “been there and done that” and it was time to put it down on paper for future generations to enjoy. Yes, we were a part of The Ancient Skiers and it is a privilege to be able to tell you about them and the way things were. Life was different - and it was good! I met Jim on my first ski trip on the Milwaukee Ski Train to the Ski Bowl in 1938. He sat across the aisle and had the Sunday funnies - I had the cupcakes - we made a bond and he taught me to ski. We were married the next year. Jim became Certified as a ski instructor at the second certification exam put on by the Pacific Northwest Ski Association (PNSA) in 1940, at the Ski Bowl. I took the exam the next year at Paradise in 1941, to become the first woman in the United States to become a Certified Ski Instructor. Skiing has been my life, from teaching students, running a ski school, training instructors, and most of all being the Executive Secretary for the Pacific Northwest Ski Instructors Association (PNSIA) for over 16 years. I ran their Symposiums for 26 years, giving me the opportunity to work with many fine skiers from different regions as well as ski areas. Jim and I helped organize the PNSIA and served on their board for nearly 30 years.

    Nova Scotia Assessment: Literacy in Grade 3 Lessons Learned Understanding as you’re reading helps you to engage with the text, read accurately, read with fluency, understand what the author is saying, and think beyond the text. In essence, comprehension is everything. – Jennifer Serravallo, 2018 p. 7 Reading and writing are two different ways of learning about the same thing – the written code used to record oral language. The knowledge you have about writing can be used during reading, and vice versa. Children give us hints about the common ground they notice between reading and writing.

  • Jahi Mcmath: Lessons Learned Maya Scott, MSW
    Jahi McMath: Lessons Learned Maya Scott, MSW Jahi McMath’s story has been an important reference in medicine and ethics as the landscape abstract of the understanding of death by neurologic criteria is shifting, with families actively questioning the once-firm criterion. Palliative care providers have a role in seeking understanding and collaborating with families and clinical teams to navigate the many challenges that arise when a medical team has determined that a child has died, and their parents disagree. In this case-based narrative discussion we consider the complexity of the family experience of brain death.

  • Working Class Manifesto
    0 WORKING CLASS MANIFESTO -Jerry Ebert- 1 Working Class Manifesto In my 66 years I’ve been a musician, journalist and union organizer, in no particular order. Although I couldn’t save enough to buy a house, I retired in September 2019 thanks to my generous Social Security check and my even-more-generous monthly union pension. When the Coronavirus Pandemic hit six months later in March 2020, I was in better shape than most. I’m a baby-boomer, part of the Luckiest Generation because we’re the children of the Greatest Generation. My seven grandchildren will never be so fortunate unless something drastic happens. Confronted by multiple threats such as virus pandemics, global warming, our racial divisions, and more, my grandkids will need to stand as strong as my parents, for the world’s luck is running out. Working Class Manifesto is a burning message to them, and to the working poor I’ve known and served all my life. These 22 pages are a roadmap into the Middle Class. It’s not a call to revolution. Nor is it another political philosophy or economic theory. Personally, I’ve never trusted liberal or conservative philosophies because both are too rigid. It’s a plea to do smart, practical business. 2 Manifesto We the people of the world who work 35 or more hours per week deserve a stable Middle Class lifestyle for ourselves and our families. Roughly 75 percent of employees in my United States work in private sector service-providing industries. It’s therefore a matter of national security that our workers make good money to spend supporting our economy.

    What the hell are the Afghanistan Papers? No, American leaders did not lie to the public Episode #28 | January 22, 2020 | Danielle Pletka, Marc Thiessen, and Michael O’Hanlon Marc Thiessen: Hi, I'm Marc Thiessen. Danielle Pletka: I'm Danielle Pletka. Marc Thiessen: Welcome to our podcast, What the Hell Is Going On? Dany, where the hell are you? Danielle Pletka: I'm in Australia. As everybody will be able to tell, because it sounds like we're talking on a connection that's being gnawed at by rats under sea. Marc Thiessen: By wallabies. Well, what are we talking about today, Dany? Danielle Pletka: We are talking about this nominal blockbuster report, from the Washington Post. Probably one of the most hyped presentations, I've seen the Washington Post do in a long time. The so-called Afghanistan Paper, the 21st century version of the Vietnam Pentagon Papers. Yeah, what do you think about it? Marc Thiessen: Well, they basically made the case, that Afghanistan has been, as Ryan Crocker put it, a wall-to-wall disaster for the United States. Another Vietnam that we have to admit defeat and get out. Marc Thiessen: Two, that the American people have been lied to, not just by the Bush administration, but by the Obama administration and quite frankly, the Trump administration. That every presidential administration has been lying to the American people, telling them that we're making progress. Marc Thiessen: Telling them that the mission is essential, when internally, they knew that wasn't the case. You mentioned the Pentagon Papers, which were a set of secret documents that were published about the Vietnam War.

    DOGHOUSE ROSES: STORIES PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Steve Earle | 224 pages | 18 Jun 2002 | Mariner Books | 9780618219247 | English | Boston, MA, United States Doghouse Roses: Stories PDF Book Though the coincidences are pretty unbelievable, the bond that develops between the two men is touching without being overly melodramatic. They are very 'manly' stories about men and their shortcomings and their redemptions. Steve Earle does everything he does with intelligence, creativity, passion, and integrity. Gritty short stories about drug running, drug abuse, violence, war, music and heartache from an excellent songwriter and quite a good writer. Oct 03, Al rated it really liked it. Just about every Cure album is worth picking up, and even those ranked lowest boast worthwhile moments. Steve Earle. You can tell that Earle has seen what he is describing. All rights reserved. The stories are centered in LA, Tennessee, Texas, Mexico and Norway and many of the characters are composites of Earle's own life and experiences I'm sure. In music, these strengths have earned him comparisons to Bruce Springsteen, the ardent devotion of his fans, and the admiration of the media. Can't wait until Thursday to see him live! Consider this a lesson learned. There's an appealing sort of innocence to them. Uninteresting characters? View 1 comment. Quick and entertaining read. Buy this book. Lastly, Earle's stories were written beautifully, but in the bad-ass way that I like and don't always get a chance to read. Adding to my enjoyment were my surroundings There are no discussion topics on this book yet.

Errors are not desirable, of course, but everyone understands that they are unavoidable. Errors are inherent in baseball, as they are in medicine, business, science, law, love, and life. In the final analysis, the test of a nation’s character, and of an individual’s integrity, does not depend on being error free. It depends on what we do after making the error.” Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson Mistakes Were Made (but not by me): Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions, and Hurtful Acts (Orlando, FL: Harcourt, 2007), p235. “Any safety system depends crucially on the willing participation of the workforce, the people in direct contact with the hazards. To achieve this, it is necessary to engineer a reporting culture—an organizational climate in which people are prepared to report their errors . An effective reporting culture depends, in turn, on how the organization handles blame and punishment . What is needed is a just culture . .” J. T.
