His first career and passion was coaching basketball which he did for seven years at the University of California at San Diego. Following a year of substitute teaching (K-12), four years working in the entertainment department for the San Diego Padres major league baseball organization, and a year as a product analyst in the video game industry, Dave continued to pursue his passion of counseling and teaching at the community college level. As a tenured professor and counseling faculty at Grossmont College, Dave enjoys connecting with students. He does his best to keep up with the next generation and their use of technology in and out of the classroom. His passion has not ceased from his UCSC commencement speech to presenting at local and national conferences. Dave resides in Carlsbad, California, with his wife, two daughters, and yellow labrador, Lucy. This OER (Open Educational Resources) project has taken full advantage of the “5 R’s” or permissions of OER, the ability to Retain, Reuse, Revise, Remix, and Redistribute content for educational purposes. It is with great gratitude that I introduce the authors of the OER texts whose content was retained, reused, revised, and/or remixed in some way and contributed to this final product. In a few instances, I have also included the rationale for their OER text. Links to each of the original OER texts, their licenses, and peer reviews can be found in Appendix A. Linda (Bruce) Hill, contributing author to College Success Linda (Bruce) Hill is the director of distance learning at Goucher College in Baltimore, Maryland, where she works with graduate students and faculty to help them thrive in a global learning environment. Her career in education spans decades of technology growth and change, but is x About the Authors xi centered on a love of teaching and learning and on the rewards of continuing education. A lifelong learner herself, Linda earned a bachelor’s degree in radio, television and film at the University of Maryland College Park, and a master’s in education and human development at the George Washington University in a distance learning program that set standards for higher education offerings. Outside of her full-time work at Goucher, Linda freelances as a writer and instructional designer —pursuits that aligned her with Lumen Learning on the production of their College Success course, built heartily with open education resources and original writing. A favorite quote exemplifying her professional philosophy is from Arthur C. Clarke: “Before you become too entranced with gorgeous gadgets and mesmerizing video displays, let me remind you that information is not knowledge, knowledge is not wisdom, and wisdom is not foresight. Each grows out of the other, and we need them all.” Alise Lamoreaux, author of A Different Road To College: A Guide for Transitioning Non-traditional Students Alise Lamoreaux has a long history of teaching non-traditional students who are preparing for the GED and transitioning to college. She teaches a class called, “Everything You Want to Know About College, Before You Start” along with Hybrid GED courses at Lane Community College, in Eugene, Oregon. Alise is known for her willingness to learn and use new technologies in the classroom, such as digital storytelling, learning management systems, and other online resources. She is an advocate of student success. Throughout the years, she has demonstrated her willingness to teach other professionals how they might also implement innovative technologies in the classroom. This year, she took on the challenge of writing an open source textbook, through a grant she received from openoregon.org, titled, A Different Road To College: A Guide for Transitioning Non- traditional Students. This free resource is designed to engage students in seeing themselves as college students and understanding the complexity of what that means to their lives, as well as helping to unlock the contextual complexities of the culture of college. Phyllis Nissila, author of How to Learn Like a Pro! Phyllis Nissila has taught Effective Learning and Study Skills classes in high schools and community colleges for over twenty years. She also teaches writing and college preparatory classes at Lane. Nissila has been a freelance and contracted writer for over thirty years, with credits including newspaper reportage, feature articles, and human interest/inspirational magazine articles and devotionals. She is an award-winning former humor (newspaper) columnist. She is the author of Sentence CPR, Breathing Life Into Sentences That Might As Well Be Pushing Up Daisies! (Prufrock Press/Cottonwood Press, grades 7-adult) and sells humor-based language arts lessons and worksheets through TeachersPayTeachers.com.

This ensured my clients were focussing on the vocabulary which would give them the best chance of successfully communicating with others across activities as quickly as possible. It was always a challenge to integrate my communication goals with pre-planned classroom activities so they could easily be worked on without feeling like a hassle for people! This booklet draws on the work by Liberator and Lindsey Paden-Cargill in her document Core Vocabulary Studies and Core Word Activities v2. Following a review of common core words, we have looked at the 50 first words list, developed by Prentke Romich Company. This list was created following a clinical evaluation of word frequency lists (which words we use most frequently in our speech), with additional consideration given to: - developmental factors such as core words which can be used alone (i.e.

  • Tove Lo Klar För Live På Liseberg I Maj
    2018-02-09 09:00 CET Tove Lo klar för Live på Liseberg i maj Tove Lo har slagit igenom stort i USA som både artist och låtförfattare och har producerat låtar till såväl sig själv som andra artister. På årets Grammisgala tog hon nyligen hem två grammisar för årets pop och årets textförfattare för det senaste albumet Blue Lips (Lady Wood Phase II). Den 30 maj gör hon debut på Stora Scenen på Liseberg. Efter att ha skrivit och sjungit sedan 11 års ålder, spelat i band i tonåren för att sedan ta plats i Max Martins låtskrivar-kollektiv Wolf Cousins är Tove Lo nu en röst, både i text och sång, att räkna med. Hon har skrivit låtar och sjungit tillsammans med bland andra Flume och Alesso, skrivit låtar till Elie Goulding och Icona Pop och sjungit på Coldplays låt Fun. Men mest känd är Tove Lo för sin egen musik sedan genomslaget 2014 med bland annat låten Habits (Stay high). Som artist är Tove djärvt ocensurerad och stolt att utmana reglerna för hur en ung kvinnlig popstjärna ska vara: – Du ska tala för alla. Du ska inte svära. Du ska se till att du inte gör någonting som provocerar någon för mycket, säger Tove och skrattar. Det gör mig bara förbannad och får mig att vilja göra det mer. I fjol släppte hon sitt senaste album Blue Lips (Lady Wood phase II) som följde albumet Lady Wood från 2016. En fortsättning på Tove Los utforskande av rus, dekadens med en hyllning till sex, kärlek och klubbmusiken. Musiken är fylld av kontraster och uppriktighet med en stor dos humor.

  • The Prospectors by Karen Russell
    The Prospectors by Karen Russell (Audio version available from The New Yorker) https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/06/08/the-prospectors The entire ride would take eleven minutes. That was what the boy had promised us, the boy who never showed. To be honest, I hadn’t expected to find the chairlift. Not through the maze of old-growth firs and not in the dwindling light. Not without our escort. A minute earlier, I’d been on the brink of suggesting that we give up and hike back to the logging road. But at the peak of our despondency we saw it: the lift, rising like a mirage out of the timber woods, its four dark cables striping the red sunset. Chairs were floating up the mountainside, forty feet above our heads. Empty chairs, upholstered in ice, swaying lightly in the wind. Sailing beside them, just as swiftly and serenely, a hundred chairs came down the mountain. As if a mirror were malfunctioning, each chair separating from a buckle- bright double. Nobody was manning the loading station; if we wanted to take the lift we’d have to do it alone. I squeezed Clara’s hand. A party awaited us at the peak. Or so we’d been told by Mr. No-Show, Mr. Nowhere, a French boy named Eugene de La Rochefoucauld. “I bet his real name is Burt,” Clara said angrily. We had never been stood up before. “I bet he’s actually from Tennessee.” Well, he had certainly seemed European, when we met him coming down the mountain road on horseback, one week ago this night.

She squatted at the edge of the icy river, pausing a moment to dip her hand into the cold water and glance around behind her. For the past half-hour, she'd had the most peculiar feeling that someone was following her, keeping just out of her sight. But she was in the wilderness, far backcountry, and hadn't seen another hiker in two days. She paused at the bottom of a cliff, a waterfall streaming from the top and plunging a hundred feet to form the river at her feet. Mist plumed around her, beading in her eyelashes. The icy bite of the glacial meltwater stung her hand, but it felt good. The air was so hot. She'd never known it to be so hot in the mountains. For the past five days it had been well into the upper nineties. A strenuous four-hour hike had brought her up high into this mountain pass, where waterfalls cascaded over brilliantly green mossy slopes, and marmots scurried through wildflower-strewn meadows before darting back into their safe homes inside rocky slopes. A. Henderson – Voracious - 2 The feeling of being watched faded. Madeline glanced around her. No one was in sight, just the cloudless blue sky above her and the mountains, immense and snow-covered.

  • Surrealism, Occultism and Politics
    Surrealism, Occultism and Politics This volume examines the relationship between occultism and Surrealism, specif- ically exploring the reception and appropriation of occult thought, motifs, tropes and techniques by surrealist artists and writers in Europe and the Americas from the 1920s through the 1960s. Its central focus is the specific use of occultism as a site of political and social resistance, ideological contestation, subversion and revolution. Additional focus is placed on the ways occultism was implicated in surrealist dis- courses on identity, gender, sexuality, utopianism and radicalism. Dr. Tessel M. Bauduin is a Postdoctoral Research Associate and Lecturer at the Uni- versity of Amsterdam. Dr. Victoria Ferentinou is an Assistant Professor at the University of Ioannina.
