OUR VISION A community where literacy is attainable for everyone. frederickliteracy.org The Literacy Council of Frederick County is a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization. 2 • Reflections: Voices of English Learners FOREWORD The Literacy Council of Frederick County (LCFC) is publishing its third annual Reflections: Voices of English Learners. This is a collection of various stories that our students have written with pride. The LCFC started in 1963 to teach adults reading and other English language skills that they need to provide for their families and contribute to the well-being and prosperity of our community. We have helped 335 students in the past year with one-to-one tutoring, specialty classes, workplace classes for hospitality and restaurant employees, and English learning for parents of grade school students at several Frederick County Public Schools. As we each reflect on the additional stresses we have felt during the past six months, we realize that multiple things have shifted in our own lives. The COVID-19 Crisis has caused us to feel isolation, economic uncertainty, and fear for our own health. Furthermore, social justice issues have led to widespread unrest, felt locally as well as nationally and globally. Imagine how threatening this time of change and uncertainty is to our students as they try to cope and survive. We are all challenged to rethink our perspectives and values through a more inclusive lens. As I read each of these “reflections”, I imagine each writer’s struggle, bravery, and hope for reaching a better tomorrow. Jim Grissom, President Literacy Council Board of Directors All rights reserved ©2020 Literacy Council of Frederick County, Maryland. Reflections: Voices of English Learners • 3 DEDICATION We dedicate Reflections to our adult learners, their families, and their volunteer tutors. EDITOR’S NOTE Reflections: Voices of English Learners is a very special publication. It emerges from the minds and hearts of our student body and their perspectives on life in general. Some are English learners and some are English speakers who are improving their reading and writing skills. Submission is open to all the adult learners of the Literacy Council and we are always amazed at the excellence of writing we are blessed to publish in this magazine at many levels of language acquisition. A number of the pieces came from the Writing Class that we conducted online this Spring. We studied a new form of essay writing: one where you state a problem and come up with a solution. Students tackled issues close to their hearts and shared their transformative moments with their classmates. Their insights into human nature and their own moments of revelation are quite enlightening. The artistic endeavors of our students were inspired by these unprecedented times of pandemic, economic difficulties, and social unrest, which have altered many viewpoints and illuminated the need for justice and equality for all. Our students are moving forward in their lives with their newly acquired English language skills and making a difference for themselves, for their families, and for our community. Our adult learners represent many different nationalities, languages, and cultures. We are privileged to present to you the third edition of the Literary Magazine of the Literacy Council of Frederick County. We edit only lightly, maintaining the integrity of the individual voice in each piece. We would like to invite those of you who are new readers of the magazine and students of the Literacy Council to submit your stories for Reflections 2021. Let’s continue to be a place where many voices can come together and share their writing, ideas, and perspectives. The opinions expressed in these essays do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Literacy Council. 4 • Reflections: Voices of English Learners ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This magazine would not have been possible without the generous support of the Literacy Council of Frederick County’s Board of Directors, President Jim Grissom and Immediate Past President Richard Haney, Executive Director Laurie Fisher, Program Manager Jennifer Szabo, editors Julie Heifetz and Catherine Coundjeris, our dedicated tutors, and our contributing students.

    PRESS STATEMENT Textile CEOs Urge Candidates to Elaborate More Fully on Plans to Stop U.S. Manufacturing Job Loss and to Boost Competitiveness CONTACT: Lloyd Wood, Dir. of Membership and Media Outreach (202) 452-0866 or [email protected] For Immediate Release May 1, 2008 North Carolina textile industry CEOs urged candidates for public office to put forth more detailed plans to stop U.S. manufacturing job loss and to boost competitiveness at telephone conference call media event held on May 1. Allen Gant, CEO of Glen Raven Inc. of Glen Raven, North Carolina said, “America cannot have a prosperous future without a healthy domestic manufacturing sector. That’s why all candidates must more fully spell out where they stand on such key manufacturing issues such as stopping job loss and boosting the competitiveness of the U.S. government’s manufacturing policy.” Illustrating the challenges facing North Carolina’s economy, the American Manufacturing Trade Action Coalition (AMTAC) released a comprehensive report that showed a severe decline in manufacturing investment in North Carolina and that the state has been losing high-wage jobs and replacing them with low-wage jobs. It also broke out manufacturing job gain/loss by sector for North Carolina’s twelve largest metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs). Reacting to the report, Gant continued, "North Carolina can’t keep trading good manufacturing jobs for lower paying service sector jobs and expect to grow its economy as fast as it needs to grow.” “Americans haven't stopped buying manufactured goods; they just aren’t buying as many from North Carolina as before because of trade cheats like China.

  • "Running Man" to "Mission X": Variety Shows As Cultural Representation of Local Identities
    From "Running Man" to "Mission X": Variety Shows as Cultural Representation of Local Identities Nurul Laili Nadhifah, Universitas Brawijaya, Indonesia The Asian Conference on Media, Communication & Film 2018 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract Running Man, as one of Korean successful variety shows, never fails to advertise parts of Korean culture like food, K-Pop, cultural values, traditional games, history, even historical sites. With quite a huge amount of fans not only from South Korea but also from other countries as well, Running Man also occasionally encourages interactions between the hosts and their fans in some games, indirectly introducing Korean culture to all over the world, resulting in the increase of consumption on Korean culture’s products. This reality show concept is, then, adapted into Indonesian variety show called Mission X. Quite different from Running Man, Mission X has its own ways in introducing Indonesia and its culture. This study aims to analyze the way Running Man and Mission X represent themselves as the platforms of advertising their local identities by applying Fiske’s vertical intertextuality and cultural identity theories. Drawing on data collected from the shows as the main texts and SNS as secondary texts, while data of fans’ reactions are gathered by doing random interview online. This research, through comparative studies, intents to explain the similarities and differences of cultural representations shown on those shows. The findings show different aspects of local culture displayed by those variety shows caused different methods of representing them. While Running Man introducing different aspects and values of culture like food or history through games and certain themes, Mission X tends to introduce cultural aspects more through display of setting.

Meanwhile, multimedia cloud computing is emerging based on cloud computing to provide a variety of media services on the Internet. However, with the growing popularity of multimedia cloud computing, its large energy consumption cannot only contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, but also result in the rising of cloud users’ costs. Therefore, the multimedia cloud providers should try to minimize its energy consumption as much as possible while satisfying the consumers’ resource requirements and guaranteeing quality of service (QoS). In this paper, we have proposed a remaining utilization-aware (RUA) algorithm for virtual machine (VM) placement, and a power-aware algorithm (PA) is proposed to find proper hosts to shut down for energy saving. These two algorithms have been combined and applied to cloud data centers for completing the process of VM consolidation.

Over a long time, China's urban public transport system has been underdeveloped, and unable to meet the high-quality daily travelling demand of urban residents. The prominent contradictions between supply and demand in urban transport are shown by the incomplete capacity of urban public transport system, the failure of urban public transport system development in keeping simultaneous with urban development, the single structure of urban public transport system, the lack of advanced transport planning concepts, and the lack of public transport-oriented planning experience for most cities. The project is intended to optimize Harbin's urban public transport system, to improve social and economic development, and to alleviate residents' travel difficulties in cold weather.
