Extractions: Courses and conferences It is vital that visually impaired students establish exactly what support will be on offer at college or University before starting the course - and that means asking the right questions in advance. In Pam Finlinson's experience, as Inclusive Learning Support Service Manager at RNIB Vocational College, clarifying certain issues beforehand will enable students to judge the quality of provision on offer.
Listening Activities For Autumn By Chris Elvin Here I present one of four listening activities for autumn that I'd like to share,the other three being available for download from my What to teach, and why? http://www.eflclub.com/elvin/publications/listeningfallactivities.html
Extractions: LISTENING ACTIVITIES FOR AUTUMN by Chris Elvin Here I present one of four listening activities for Autumn that I'd like to share, the other three being available for download from my website (see later). The first print, which looks like a reading comprehension exercise, and could be used as such if so desired, is actually the teacher's copy. The other print is the student's worksheet. What to teach, and why? i) Useful to whom? As teachers, we have a duty to teach language that will be useful to our students. I believe this should include not only material that will enable our students to pass tests and graduate school, but also topics that students find interesting. My students have expressed an interest in foreign culture and traditions, so I include it as a part of my curriculum. ii) Authentic versus simplified In order to preserve authenticity and naturalness, it may be unavoidable to occasionally have to burden students with uncommon words. For example, I chose to leave Jack-o-lantern and bonfire as they were, even though it would be easy to simplify them.
Extractions: Included: We've raked up a pile of activities for you to "leaf" through! It's fall! That means shorter days and cooler nights. And, in many parts of the United States, it means that trees will soon shed their leaves after a final colorful salute to summer. Trees that drop their leaves each fall are called deciduous trees. You might ask your students why they think dentists refer to baby teeth as "deciduous teeth"? See if your students can figure out the connection! And here's another question for your students: Did you know that a tree's leaves are orange and yellow even in summer? Most leaves include the pigments of all three colors. It's just that the pigment chlorophyll (the pigment that makes the leaves green) is a much stronger pigment than the others. It covers the yellow (xanthophyll) and orange (carotene) pigments that are natural to a tree's leaves. But, come fall, a tree's leaves produce less chlorophyll. Now the other colors can show through. And that they do in brilliant explosions of color! Another pigment (anthocyanin), which produces reds and purples, isn't present all year long in most green leaves. It only shows up as the nights get cooler.

Extractions: "Old Interior Angel?" Yes, I believe it does. It is the land itself. The land can teach us about our inner resiliency and about the process of growth. The land holds many messages about transformation, the movement from death to life. The land can show us how to be open and to trust that we will find creative solutions. It can help us grow through what seems to be impossible obstacles. The land can help us find meaning and apparently meaningless situations fraught with frustration and pain. The language and the experience of the land can be a source of both spiritual and psychological support. It can teach us how to grieve and how to heal. The land is a sentinel of promise, inviting us to see beyond where we now are and encourage us to believe that new life will come forth in spite of current struggles. The Pattern of the Seasons The land encourages us by its phenomenal resiliency, surviving such challenges as devastating winds, powerful blizzards, months of drought, cruel hailstorms, destructive tornadoes and hurricanes, fierce fires and rampaging floods. The land also teaches by its process of planting and growing. Every farmer knows that a seed must fall into the ground and die before it becomes a new, green shoot. How much easier it is to believe this about a seed than it is to believe it about one's own life.

Extractions: Autumn, 2001 I consider Dr. Roger Moe an extraordinary teacher. When I first came here in 1982 as an intern, there was one individual who did the majority of the major intra-abdominal and retroperitoneal cancers and it was Dr. Moe. He was not focused at that time solely on breast disease, although even then he was clearly the most knowledgeable person in breast disease and cancer. Dr. Kaj Johansen . I consider Dr. Johansen one of the best teachers I have ever seen anywhere, and he was a student of Dr. Moe. Others such as Drs. Mika Sinanan, Tom Hatsukami, Dan Ledbetter and many more are also outstanding teachers. I submit that one of the main reasons they are is because of the mentorship and leadership of Dr. Moe. I want to end on the comment about mentors. The word mentor actually comes from the Odyssey, where Mentor was the friend and advisor to Odys-seus. The definition of the term is a wise advisor, teacher or coach and, I would add, one who looks out for the growth and the welfare of a student. He was my mentor then and remains my mentor today. He is fiercely loyal to his students and advisees. As many of us have seen, when we get into challenges, he is the first one there with a banner to support us. As one of his students, when the better parts of me come out, I think you can attribute it to this man. And when the worst parts come out, I own those myself. And I think for all of your students, I would just say, thank you!

Extractions: Although we teach accounting students that financial reports can be used to help make investment decisions, the actual mechanism for first integrating the information in financial statements and then translating the information to a buy/hold/sell decision is often left as a black box. We teach students how to interpret a ratio and whether increases in a ratio are, ceteris paribus operating and leverage components, and then explains the operating component using turnover and profit margin. Thus ROE is broken into three major elements, efficiency of operations (turnover), profit margins , and leverage Together with sales growth, the Scott formula analysis concisely captures the firms current operating and financial strengths and permits comparisons to peer firms or industry averages. One can then compare the appropriate price relative for the firm ( price/earnings, price/equity, price/sales ) to peer firms or industry averages. One can then search for firm that are ordinally out of sync. A firm with a strong operating and financial structure as indicated through the Scott formula analysis, but a low price relative compared to its peers, would appear to be a bargain, while a firm with a weak operating and financial structure, but a high price relative compared to its peers, would appear to be a over-priced. The Scott formula usefully splits ROE into additive operating and leverage elements. To properly do this one must restructure the Balance Sheet to distinguish between operations and financing similar to the approach taken in weighted average cost of capital calculations, that is liabilities that arise from operations such as accounts payable or future income tax liability must be deducted from operating assets. Similarly, cash and marketable securities that are excess to operations should be removed from operating assets and netted against the financial liabilities to obtain net Financial Debt. So a restructured Balance Sheet might appear as shown in

Extractions: October 2002 Ah…. autumn in New England! While the rest of the world views Cape Cod as a summer wonderland, we "Capers" know that the peninsula's greatest beauty is evident in September and October. The cool breezes, the bright cloudless skies, the moonlit evenings and - of course - the glorious autumn outfits on our maples, oaks and birches. Love it! Fall also brings the rituals of "back to school". As a child, I attended schools for twelve years…. then four years of college…then a thirty year career as a teacher and school administrator. It recently occurred to me that this is the first September since 1955 that I haven't had to go "school clothes shopping" on Labor Day weekend! Change is good. This August and September DID find me in schools, however. I had a number of speaking engagements and consults at schools and it was fun to see the hustle and bustle of schools coming to life after their summer slumber! I met some great folks and saw some terrific programs. When I am "on the road" I find that I learn as much as I teach. Let me share some of my month with you… In mid-August, I conducted on all-day seminar at Indianapolis's prestigious Park Tudor School. The buildings at Park Tudor are phenomenal and the grounds were extraordinary. I was soon to learn that the faculty was every bit as wonderful as the facility! Park Tudor is a K-12 program that provides a state-of-the-art academic experience for their elementary students and an outstanding college preparatory program for their high school kids. They place heavy emphasis on educational technology and each Park Tudor graduate has extraordinary computer skills. They are well prepared for the challenges that they will face in college.

Extractions: Autumn 2002 News from HCC Welcome to our Autumn 2002 news letter An up date on all things HCC Newsletter as PDF format News: Books: I am truly delighted to say that the Horticultural Correspondence College has published a book on Plant Propagation. This is in hardback and is available from us post free (U.K. only) for £15.00. PLANT PROPAGATION Originally published in 1994, Plant Propagation - Insight, Fundamentals and Techniques , the book was welcomed by students for its factual style and presentation. This new edition includes more details, more illustrations and more material. Its themes relate the plant and seed anatomy to seed germination, to seed propagation, the rooting of cuttings, layering, division and grafting. It follows the requirements set out in the Propagation section of Module A in the syllabus published by the Royal Horticultural Society for their Advanced Certificate in Horticulture. PLANT PROPAGATION by Oliver Menhinick, Peter Brown and Andrea Callf Horticulture Week carried an article on distance learning and it was great that they featured the HCC An article was recently published in The Daily Telegraph on Saturday 5th 2002.

Extractions: blown in. But Neuman is someone who can handle plenty of headache-inducing moments. The native Albertan has just returned to Canada after a three-year post as dean of the College of Literature, Science and the Arts at the University of Michigan, where she also served as a professor of English and womens studies. An academic administrator, scholar and professor, Neuman recognizes that each of these three roles will be of value in her new appointment. I think that those sensibilities lead into each other; that if you want to do this job, it serves you well to have done scholarship, to have been a teacher, to have had all that academic experience, she says. The Odyssey After earning her PhD, Neuman worked her way up to professor of English at the University of Alberta, and also became the universitys first director of the Womens Studies program in 1986. She later served as chair of the department of English, then moved on to the University of British Columbia to serve as dean of the Faculty of Arts. In the late 70s, Neuman was also a founding member of NeWest Press, a regional press in Edmonton that places an emphasis on Western Canadian writers. It was during this time that she became interested in Canadian literature as an area of study, publishing such books as
