As November comes to a close, students are met with the looming threat of final exams and projects. These can be stressful, especially in those classes you're struggling in and required to pass for your major.
The amount of pressure students feel the need to place on themselves when finals week rears its ugly head every year is, in all honesty, too extreme. The following are some myths surrounding finals preparation and why you shouldn't be worried.
1. You'll need to pull an all-nighter (or multiple) in order to pass your most difficult finals.
The phenomenon of placing academics over physical health is one that has been over this generation since we first started taking tests, and it unfortunately has followed all of us into our college classrooms.
The truth is, it doesn't matter how difficult a class or upcoming test will be. You should never feel the need to sacrifice your health and well being to receive a good grade. Instead, in the days leading up to your final, study the material you feel least comfortable with for a few hours a day. Revisit that material closer to the day of the exam so it's fresh in your mind.
Studies show that pulling an all-nighter before the day of an exam leads to poorer test scores due to lack of sleep. So, the night before your exam you're most worried about, study in the evening and go to bed early. If you're still nervous, go over the material again just before your exam.
2. Caffeine is your best friend during finals week.
Once again, this ideology falls into the idea that academia is more important than physical health. While a cup of coffee once in a while is not technically harmful, several trips to Starbucks takes a toll on your physical health.
Caffeine is linked to mental illnesses like depression and anxiety. If you already suffer from either of those, too much caffeine during a stressful time will only exacerbate your negative feelings.
The best thing you can do for yourself is to know your limits. If you know that caffeine makes you jittery and lose focus, maybe cut back on the amount you're consuming. Don't use caffeine to stay up all night in order to study. If you absolutely need to have caffeine, make sure to stay hydrated and alternate your coffees, or energy drinks, with water.
3. If you fail a final, you fail the class.
If you've done alright up until this point in any of your classes, a poor grade on the final exam should not be a huge detriment to your final grade. If you're concerned about your performance in the class, now is the perfect time to talk to your professor about your grade.
Send your professor an email, attend their office hours, or even just speak to them after class. See if there is anything they can do to help you reach or maintain a passing grade, whether that be opportunities for extra credit or just giving you some reassurance.
If you still feel worry or guilt over the possibility of failing a class, know that failing one class is not the end of the world. It isn't going to drastically impact your GPA or ruin your chances of graduating on time. Failing a class does not mean you are a failure as a student.
4. Studying in a group means you'll do better on an exam.
This is both true and false. Studying in groups can be incredibly helpful, especially studying with other people in your class. You can answer each other's questions, fill out study guides together, and complain about the class with people who understand exactly what you're going through.
Although group studying is appealing to some, it's important to recognize that everyone studies differently.
Some people study really well in groups and others get too distracted. Find out what works best for you. Do you find more success when you go over material by yourself or with others? In a quiet environment or while listening to something? With snacks or a drink?
Everyone's study habits look different. There is no right or wrong way to study, as long as you are going over the material and learning.
5. During finals week, you have to constantly study if you want to do well.
A recurring theme throughout this list is knowing your limits. It's common knowledge you should study for your finals, but should every minute be filled with going over notes and reading textbooks? Of course not. The best studying happens in small doses and over time. Don't cram, but don't put all your energy into studying.
Even more so, don't feel guilty about the time you spend doing other things. We're all human. We need breaks, time to relax. After studying for an hour or two, allow yourself a reward like an episode of a TV show you like, or scrolling through social media.
If you do not feel mentally "all there" to study, give yourself time to recover with whatever form of self-care helps you best. For me, self-care is cleaning up my apartment and cooking myself something healthy to eat. Like study habits, self-care looks different for everyone. Remember to care for yourself physically and mentally, and that academics should not take precedence over those things.
Above all, know that your grades do not define you.

Stella the Zombie Killer Part Seventeen
Stella the Zombie Killer Part Seventeen
'When was the last time you went a whole day without violence?' said Jared to Hook. They leant against the harpoon, broken glass crunching beneath their boots.
'Couple of days ago,' Hook replied. 'We didn't go out for three days. We just did the garden, read books, cooked.'
It was dark outside, the streetlights cast an intermittent but stark white glow on the rippling mass below them. Most of the lights were still active, their solar panels still functioning three years after the death of most of the people who ever walked beneath them. The bright white dots snaked around the city, disappearing behind unlit buildings and parks, then reappearing again in the distance. From here the city was eternal. Nothing else existed but the streets and the buildings and the parks. And the deads. The noise of their movement was perpetual, natural, like the sound of the sea or the breeze in the trees or the scratching of rodents.
The two shared a bottle of red wine. Three more sat among the legs of the harpoon launcher. Jared wrinkled his nose as he looked out of the window and then held the bottle beneath his nostrils as a scented shield. 'Smells more in the city,' he said. 'There was always a smell in the country but this, this is a stink.'
'It's worse than usual.' Hook gestured to the deads. 'We don't normal have that.'
Jared nodded and took a swig of the wine. The alcohol was acting fast. 'I haven't had a day without violence for four months. It was back in March. Twenty of us in the camp. Nothing happened for a whole day. The scavs came back with nothing to report and no deads came near us.'
'Scavengers. Hunter-gatherer parties.'
'Not the nicest nickname.'
'Some of them used to go a bit feral. Out there, alone or in pairs, dealing with...' Jared waved the bottle at the night. 'With whatever they had to deal with. There was a spilt in the camp. No one really trusted them.' He took another swig and then handed the bottle to Hook, who took it and drained it, tilting his head back to let the red liquid slosh down his throat.
'She'll be alright,' said Jared.
Hook gasped as he took the bottle from his lips, the red wine visible at the corners of his mouth. He nodded. 'I know.'
'What you did was good.'
'What I did was save her,' said Hook. 'I know that and she'll realise it too.'
Jared bent to the floor and grabbed the other bottle of wine. He twisted the lid. 'Imagine if all the bottles were still corked - we'd be screwed!' He laughed at his joke. He laughed hard.
'We have cork screws,' said Hook, not joining Jared in his laughter. 'And be quiet.' He nodded at the deads; Jared's barks of laughter had raised a few heads to their window and an eddy in the flow of shoulders and heads could suddenly be seen as they pushed towards the doors.
'They look like solid doors,' said Jared. 'They'll hold.' He peered out of the window onto the deads below and then looked back at Hook. 'Will they hold?'
Hook nodded. 'I wouldn't have gone out there if I didn't think they would.'
They had pulled her in, three pairs of hands trying to ease her as gently as they could back into the museum. They had laid her on the floor and then raised her again as she had groaned in pain from the broken glass. They had lifted her sweat- and blood-drenched body down to the rotunda and laid her on one of Gregor's work tables. She had passed in and out of consciousness as they had borne her like a funeral procession.
Hook's breathing was heavy with fear. He had never seen like this. Jared had tried to understand how the Cynosure could be so spent.
Gregor had reassured them. She'll be fine, he'd said.
Stella's head had lolled over their arms on her way down to the rotunda and now it was flat on the table, her whole body seemed to spread itself over the surface, making her look heavy like a dead weight. Her head rolled to one side and she looked at Hook. Their eyes met, Hook's wide with desperate hope, Stella's half-closed, narrowed by fatigue or thought or contempt. Stupid thing to do, Meathead, she had said. You never think, she had added. And then she had fallen asleep.
Silence. Except the scraping of deads' fingers and fists on the doors. The men looked over at the barred wooden barriers. They'll hold, Gregor had said. They're thicker than you, Hook, Gregor had added.
Hook had walked away from the table, upset. Gregor had focussed on Stella, so Jared had followed Hook to what turned out to be the wine store.
Jared liked wine. He hadn't had a drink in nearly three years but his hand had trembled as he reached out to the shelf.
The deads crowded below Hook and Jared. The summer night was still and heavy and their movements were gentle and soft as if a distant whisper passed among them, turning heads, tugging shoulders, making them roll together like marbles in a suede bag. Like people lost in the dark.
'We hate ourselves,' Jared slurred to Hook. 'S'obvious. We had the chance to have it all and we quite literally…' he raised his arms in the air in a mock explosion, exhaling loudly, '…blew it up. Not just blew it up, nuked it! Nuked it, for God's sake.' He took another swig from the second bottle. 'We hate ourselves.'
'Anyone ever tell you, you shouldn't drink?' said Hook.
Jared's head bounced up and down in an exaggerated nod. 'Yep. All the time. I quit for years.' He took another swig and raised his arms. 'But the nukes brought me back!' he cried dramatically. 'Humanity's hate brought me back!'
'Quiet down, Captain.' The deads had responded to Jared's outburst, the same jerking of heads towards their window, the same slosh of movement towards the doors.
'Sorry,' said Jared. His entire body suddenly sagged. 'So sorry. For everything.'
'You just need to be quieter.'
Jared sagged some more and silence descended and stretched, only to be filled by the susurrations of groans that sounded so like the murmurs of the old world, like memories of half-heard and misunderstood conversations, the words just a mumbled blur in the mind but the faces that said them still clear. As clear blood. As clear as pain.
Jared swung his head towards Hook. 'She didn't mean it, you know. You saved her.'
'Maybe just delayed it.' Hook gestured out of the window; the glare of the white lights reflected in upturned yellow eyes.
'They'll go eventually. They're still humans, even if they're dead humans, and they'll do what humans do: give up.'
'We'll be okay. We just need thumpers,' said Hook. 'Stella could sort it in a couple of hours. One that way and one that way.' He pointed each way along Cromwell Road outside of the Victoria and Albert. 'They'd be gone in an hour.'
'No one else can take that job on?'
'I could, but... I'm slow, Cap. Too slow for a mob like that.'
Jared stumbled against the harpoon as he burped. 'Vine can do it,' he said as his stumbling feet crushed more broken glass. 'You think he'll come back?'
Hook nodded. 'They all come back for the Cynosure,' he said.
'You know,' said Jared, pointing at Hook with the bottle in his hand. 'You're either jealous as hell of her or you love her.
Hook laughed and Jared joined in. 'You love her like she's got the only kebab in the world and it's three am!' said Jared.
'Everyone loves Stella. Gregor, your son, you, Vine. This Tash'll love her when she meets her. Everyone wants a piece of her. I got to have more. I got to live with her for three years.' Hook didn't have the words for how he felt about Stella. Gardening and livestock books simply didn't give him the vocabulary. But Hook would rather be with Stella than have a hundred pigs.
'Past tense?' said Jared, pointing at the other man and narrowing his eyes as if he were some kind of inebriated investigative genius. 'You think it's over, but it's not.' Jared was shaking his head. 'It's really not.'
'Alright, I get to live with her. And that has to be enough.'
Jared nodded and handed Hook the bottle. The bigger man turned it upside down to his lips and drained it in three long gulps. 'She's the closest thing this world's got to a hero and I get to live with her.' He stared at Jared with the fuzzy squint of the too-drunk. Before continuing, he nodded as if he'd made up his mind about something. 'You know what she said to me once?' he slurred.
Jared shook his head as he twisted the top from another bottle of wine.
'She said to me that if I was the last man on earth, then maybe, maybe, she would.'
Jared nodded sympathetically. He didn't need to ask what Stella would maybe do. 'Was it just you and her here then?'
Hook shook his head mournfully. 'There's been lots of people in and out of Vic's. Three years of post-apopopliptic ,' Hook stumbled over the word and waved his arms as if to drive the syllables away, 'wotnots, means you get a list of names.' He paused and looked back at the deads outside. 'Some of them might be down there.'
'Got the same list,' said Jared. He sniffed as an image of Sean slipped into his mind and then shook his head to clear it before the angels' lasers came to kill him again.
'It hits her hard.' Hook said, staring at the deads. 'When they die. She doesn't deal with it. She wants to save everyone.'
'Can't save everyone.'
Hook nodded his agreement. 'Got to love her for it though.' His sigh was long and loud. 'Made a bit of a fool of myself one time,' he said as if this moment were some kind of confessional. 'Things were looking grim and I thought that if I didn't say it then, I never would.'
'Were you in danger? Were you about to die?'
'Yep!' Hook fell silent and stared out of the window.
'Well?' said Jared. 'What was it? Trapped? Surrounded by deads?'
Hook turned back to Jared, his face a mask of solemnity. 'The turnips were rotten.' His elbow slipped off the harpoon as he said turnips, so the word came out more as 'sturnits', but Jared understood.
'Turnips?' he said.
'Yep. Rotten. Roots was cracked. We thought that we'd never be able to grow anything! Thought it was the end. Or the beginning of the end.'
'What did you do?'
'Too much clay in the soil,' said Hook knowledgeably. 'We just got loads of bags of fertiliser from a shop and dumped it on top. Loads and loads of bags. Been fine ever since.' He burped happily as he thought of the successes in his garden.
'No,' said Jared, shaking his head so hard that he had to hold the harpoon for support. 'I mean, what did you do with Stella?'
'Made a fool of myself, Cap. Laid it on the line. Spilled my guts as surely as if she'd knifed me. Which she did. Of at least it felt like it. "Not if you were the last man on Earth!" she said. I said to her, C'mon, if I was really the last, the very, very last, you would. "No!" she said. You would, I said. Anyway, she finally says to me, "Maybe." Maybe!'
'That's awful,' said Jared. 'That's really awful.
Hook nodded, reaching for and then cuddling the bottle of wine.
'That's really awful. I mean really awful. How do you get over something like that? How do you look at yourself in the mirror? How do you pick your self-respect back up after that? And you've got to see her every day! How do you cope with seeing her every day?'
Hook turned back to the window and the groaning stinking deads and the eternal city of lights. 'Turnips,' he said, nodding sagely. 'Nothing picks you up like a good turnip.'
Tash and Vine ate their meal in the dark, just a single lit candle so that they could see each other. The angel had stayed out as long as he could, drinking the last of the rays of sunshine.
'It's good,' he said, between massive mouthfuls.
Tash liked to watch him eat. He could like a horse, her mum would have said. She used to say it about her brother, about Arek. He could eat like a horse and swim like a fish. He could have swum in the Olympics, Mum had always said.
She nodded at Vine, smiling. 'Good,' she said. 'Plenty more where that came from. You want extras?'
Vine nodded gratefully, smiling like a teenage boy.
It was chicken curry. Tinned of course, and there was no rice. But there was meat and a spicy taste and the smell took them back in time. Vine spooned up every drop she gave him, the fleshy half of his face bright red in the candle's flickering light.
'We go tomorrow,' said Tash, her eyes gleaming as they reflected the flame. 'And the Cynosure will fight for us.'

07 Jul Gal Pals Forever or Family Feuding Females Hit Paris Monday
This summer I have two new guest Gal Pals and one veteran making the trip to Paris. They all hail from the northeast and one of them has never been to Paris before – can you say Bucket List?! And, guess what? We're all related so that means we will become even closer as family or it's going to be a long plane ride back and the next family reunion will be Hatfield/McCoy style…just sayin'.
Mom, Saint Mary Ann, or Grammie as my kids call her is my mother-in-law and a guest Gal Pal. Why a saint? You haven't met her husband, Papa Phil yet. Just think of him as the Frank Barrone (from Everyone Loves Raymond) of the family. He adores Mary Ann, makes us laugh and generally just likes to know where his next meal is coming from. Sorry Frank, you will have to pop in a few of those frozen Nutrisystem tube steaks into the microwave because Mary Ann is with me eating chocolate éclairs and coq au vin for the week. Mary Ann is a mother to six of her own children and has adopted the rest of us "outlaws" as her own. That's why we call her Mom and saint! She is a seasoned Paris-goer, but this will be her first time spreading her wings and hanging with the girls. She vows she is ready for our pace and has been training on the treadmill Rocky-style so she's ready to take on Montmartre.
Kate is Mr. Weekend In Paris' sister and a reluctant flyer. Lucky for her we are flying first class so by the time she sips some champagne, dons the famous blue slipper socks from her amenity kit and finishes her three course meal she will forget all about her fear of flying and concentrate on enjoying her much deserved "me time" away. This will be Kate's first time to Paris and I can't wait to see the city anew through her eyes. Kate will be on the lookout for clothes for her daughter Lucy (my incredibly sweet and fun niece) who is an emerging teenager. She is super adorable but shy and you will all fall in love with her when you see her on film. Her favorite holiday is Christmas; I am sure we will find a souvenir Christmas ornament for her to hang on the tree this year.
Andrea, established Gal Pal since the 2011 trip is, as you may recall, is Mr. Weekend In Paris' sister too. I feel pretty good that she is making the trip again. It means she enjoyed it the first time around and wants more! Paris was made for Andy – she could be a runway model with her tall, lean body so the clothes all fit her perfectly. My worry for her is that she tends to not buy much for herself, but rather for her three daughters back home. I love my nieces dearly (Erin is my favorite goddaughter – she's my only goddaughter, Claire is my husband's favorite goddaughter – his only goddaughter and Megan was our first niece and therefore our favorite first niece) but this trip is about the two generations hanging out and shopping for themselves for a change. Nah, who am I kidding…we'll be shopping for you awesome nieces like crazy don't you worry!
So batten down the hatches Paris because the Pilon women are coming to town…

UC issues annual whistleblower notification
The University of California is committed to maintaining the highest standards of conduct in the fulfillment of its education, research, public service and patient care mission. The University's Whistleblower Policy provides multiple avenues for employees to bring forward concerns of potential employee misconduct. Faculty and staff are encouraged to bring forward concerns about possible improper governmental activity directly to their supervisor, department head, Locally Designated Official (LDO) or other appropriate university offices or officials.
The university established a systemwide, independently operated whistleblower hotline to receive calls or web-based reporting from faculty, staff, students or members of the public. The hotline allows for anonymous reporting. The hotline relays the reported concerns to appropriate university officials for processing. This hotline is staffed seven days a week, 24 hours per day and is capable of receiving reports in a number of different languages.
The toll-free number is 1-800-403-4744. Web-based reports can be made by accessing http://universityofcalifornia.edu/hotline. More information about the whistleblower process can be found on the UC Whistleblower website and on posters displayed in various employee areas. The University's whistleblower poster identifies other channels for reporting improper governmental activity, including the California State Auditor, the California Attorney General and locations for reporting fraud and abuse involving federal programs.
The California Government Code requires every state agency, including the University of California, to annually distribute to its employees a message from the California State Auditor that provides an explanation of the California Whistleblower Protection Act. Please see the 2018 message below or in the brochure at http://ucanr.edu/sites/anrstaff/files/286804.pdf.
California State Auditor Whistleblower Program
We are your confidential avenue for reporting improper activities by state agencies or employees. It is your responsibility, as a government employee, to report any type of fraud, waste or abuse, which ultimately protects scarce state resources. It is also your right to be free from retaliation for doing so.
In 2017 alone, we received 2,147 allegations of wrongdoing, most of which concerned misuse of state property, improper travel expenditures, and time and attendance abuse. Whistleblower complaints through our office have triggered investigations revealing more than $576 million in wasteful spending, such as:
- Four psychiatrists at a state facility worked significantly fewer than 40 hours per week during a one year period. The cost of their missed work hours totaled $296,000.
- A state official received $152,000 in improper travel expense reimbursements over a 37-month period.
- An administrator unwisely entered into two contracts that wasted $652,919 in state managed funds and did not comply with state contracting requirements.
We report substantiated allegations to the head of the employing agency, the Legislature and the Governor. In addition, we report some of the substantiated allegations to the general public, keeping confidential the identities of the state employees involved. You can view these reports on our website at www.auditor.ca.gov/reports/investigative.
Pursuant to Government Code section 8547.2, subdivision (c), improper acts by a state agency or employee that should be reported to the State Auditor include:
- Violations of state or federal law, including theft, fraud or conflict of interest;
- Noncompliance with an executive order, Rule of Court, the State Administrative Manual, or the State Contracting Manual;
- Misuse or waste of state resources, including property or employee time;
- Gross misconduct, incompetence or inefficiency.
We do not have the authority to investigate either violations of internal department policies or procedures or local government agencies and employees.
If you report an impropriety, you are protected by the Whistleblower Protection Act, which:
- Requires us to protect your identity (except from law enforcement);
- Prohibits intimidation, threats or coercion by state employees that could interfere with your right to disclose improper governmental activities.
If you believe that you have been retaliated against for disclosing an improper governmental activity, you should report this immediately to one of the following agencies:
State and Court Employees
State Personnel Board
801 Capitol Mall, MS53
Sacramento, CA 95814
California State University Employees
Vice Chancellor of Human Resources
401 Golden Shore
Long Beach, CA 90802
Or contact the appointed campus administrator.
University of California (UC) Employees
Contact the locally designated official for the UC facility at which you are employed. Visit www.ucop.edu for more information.
Prepare Before Filing
Gather your thoughts before filing a complaint and prepare yourself to answer the following questions:
- What is the improper activity?
- Who acted improperly?
- Where does that person work?
- How often and for how long has the activity been occurring?
- Why has it been allowed to continue?
Support What You Allege
We are unable to investigate allegations without support for your complaint. Therefore, please remember to include the following:

Lunch: Wednesday to Saturday and Sunday 12:00pm to 2;30pm and 12:00 - 16:30.
Dinner: Wednesday to Saturday 6pm to 9;30pm
Jeanne Calitz
If you're looking for modern South African food with a true gourmet backbone (possibly to entertain guets from beyond our borders?), Tokara restaurant should be on your list. Think buchu, think heerenbone, think poached quince – chef Richard Carstens finds fresh new ways to play with local flavours. He's also not afraid to combine them with a bit of Asian flair – like in a starter dish of tempura line fish with smoked snoek amasi, avocado and ginger sauce.
The menu teeters on the expensive side of the spectrum but there is good value to be had in tasting menus, like the 4 course Cape Senses menu on the day of our visit. Roasted hake with cauliflower purée and (a divine) chardonnay mussel sauce is followed by the very umami mushroom ravioli with soft goats' milk cheese. Braised lamb is complemented wonderfully by heerenbone purée and sweet poached quince, and for dessert, a square of lemon cake gets along famously with a very subtle olive oil ice cream. Some of the flavours, notably the fresh mozzarella with this latter dessert, were a bit too experimental for my taste, but overall the food is delicious, innovative and beautifully presented. And there are some items on the a la carte menu – like a dessert of caramelised apple with ginger ice cream, vanilla mousse and almond – that I would not mind getting to know better in the future …
A very nice wine list. The Tokara wines are available of course, and by the glass. (And a glass of their Reserve Collection chardonnay, enjoyed on a beautiful spring day, is a treat not to be taken lightly.) There is also a strong selection of great wines beyond the Stellenbosch borders, from the Cederberg region to a couple of big hitters from Hemel & Aarde.
Excellent – service is swift, smooth and very welcoming.
The setting alone is enough to knock your socks off. There is a serious appreciation of beauty here, both artistic and natural. The venue boasts a strong collection of fine art (some of it for sale), and is designed to allow the diner to drink in the natural beauty of the area. Enormous glass windows and walls offer views for days – let the eye wander over the olive groves, the pretty town of Stellenbosch down in the valley, and even, on a clear day, towards Table Mountain in the distance. Inside, it's all sleekness with wood and glass and greenery, and clever little half moon tables pushed agains the glass panes for optimum view-finding. There's also a sophisticated bar, which would make a very fine option for a pre-dinner drink …
Best for...
This is the perfect spot to bring friends visiting from overseas – the combination of the views, the setting and the clever use of local flavours is sure to impress.

The language that I first learnt to speak when I was a child was an accidental one as I happened to be born in a particular language community and the language of this community became my mother tongue by default. Like all other children of my age and locality, I had no choice in the selection of my mother tongue and I picked up the sound, the vocabulary and the idioms of this language as it was spoken in my immediate neighborhood. As a child I made the sense of the strange new world around me with the help of this language. I used this language to dream, to talk, to cry, to sing and even to quarrel with my siblings. Everything was perfectly alright till I went to school.
In the admission register of my primary school, my father declared Bengali as my mother tongue just as he had to enter my caste and religion in that register. To my horror, I came to know that the language that had nourished me during my preschool days was not a language at all, it was a dialect, a variant of the 'standard' Bengali language spoken by the educated people of Calcutta living thousands of miles away! It is the language of the elites of my community and if I am to climb the ladder of the upward social mobility I should give up the tongue of the rustics! When I grew up I realized that 'mother tongue' is an ancestral property that I inherited and it would be the marker of my identity as long as I am alive in his world.
Learning the 'standard' variety of my mother tongue was a nightmare for me. In the 'standard' language, a cat is called a "biral" but I knew it as a "mekur", the "pani"(water) became " jol" (water) when I brought it to school. The conflict between the "home language", my mother tongue and the "school language" was enough to confuse me as a child. The conflict between my 'unofficial' mother tongue and the 'official' mother tongue traumatized me. As there was little opportunity of speaking the standard Bengali outside the classroom, my reading and writing ability in the official mother tongue got the upper hand. Whenever, I tried to speak the 'standard' variety with my friends, they would mock at me, " Look, look, the desi kukur is barking like a bilati kukur!" ( A native dog is barking like a foreign dog."
In retrospect, I feel that the compulsion of using another variety of my officially designated mother tongue was more threatening to my self-esteem than the requirement of using English at the Middle school stage. The experience of being scolded for using the mother tongue 'wrongly' or 'inappropriately' during the early childhood hunts me till today.
There is nothing unique in the story of my tryst with my mother tongue. Many children speaking the related varieties of an officially recognized language might have faced similar situations.
Determining the mother tongue is always problematic. I have met many children who do not have a single, easily identifiable mother tongue. Take the example of Rohan, a six year old child, the product of a mixed marriage. The father's mother tongue is Bengali, an Indo-Aryan language while that of the mother is Khasi, an Austric language. The family has been living in Bangalore for more than a decade. The language of communication between Rohan's father and his mother is English though both of them can speak Hindi, Bengali, Khasi and Kannada. Rohan speaks English while communicating with his parents. He understands both Bengali and Khasi a little though he does not utter a single word in those two languages in the presence of his parents or other paternal or maternal relatives. His caregiver at home is a monolingual Khasi lady who does not speak any language other than Khasi. Will Rohan's parents declare English as his mother tongue as this is the 'first language ' that Rohan has learnt during his childhood? What happens to his ancestral mother tongue? If language is the marker of ethnicity, what will be the ethnicity of this boy whose mother tongue is neither Bengali nor Khasi? The common language between the parents is not the ancestral language of either of the parents.
Let me cite the case of Argha born and brought up in the multilingual cosmopolitan setting of Bangalore. His Bengali speaking parents never uttered a single Bengali word in his presence, they spoke to him in English since his birth and we also have our conversation in English whenever he was around. The first language that this boy has learnt for intra-personal as well as interpersonal communication is English. As Argha's parents live in a cosmopolitan residential complex, Argha has learnt Hindi and Kannada along with English and he is now quite fluent in all the three languages. What will be the mother tongue of this multilingual boy? English, Hindi or Kannada? If mother tongue is linked to a child's early language experiences, then Argha should have three mother tongues, English, Hindi and Kannada. In this multilingual scenario, Argha's ancestral mother tongue is noting but a foreign language for him.
I have a question: Shouldn't we give up the concept of a single mother tongue? Can we ask a child, "What are your mother tongues?" instead of asking him, "What's your mother tongue?"

Title: Shut Your Eyes and Sing To Me
Fandom: Kim Possible
Rating: G
Spoilers: None
Summary: Love is just friendship set to music.
1. "My Heart Skips A Beat," Dwight Yoakam
Lovesick fool though he is, Drakken's neither surprised nor offended when Shego says she's not ready to tell anyone else about them yet. It's fair; they both have their evil reputations to worry about, and then there's the whole employer/employee thing that makes it look a little weird, even if they've professionally been partners in all but name for years now.
But still, sometimes when they're in public he'll find her hand slipping into his, just for a moment. And it's all he can do not to shout it from the rooftops.
2. "The Future Soon," Jonathan Coulton
He's had Big Ideas ever since before they ever met, she knows. Not just the global domination thing, but all the other plots and plans that he rants about whenever she's in the mood to indulge him – and sometimes when she's not. It's one of the things that she finds alternately endearing and annoying about him. Lately, though, he seems to want feedback. He wants to know what she thinks.
It takes her weeks to realize that he's trying to impress her. She smiles then, and starts indulging him more often. And in the back of her mind, she wonders who he was trying to impress before her.
3. "Footloose," Kenny Loggins
One of the first concessions Drakken makes when he realizes how badly he wants to spend more time with Shego is asking her what she wants to do on Friday nights. Half the time, it's staying in with a book or a movie rental, which sometimes includes his company but usually doesn't.
When she's in the mood to go out, though, she's into dancing.
It shouldn't surprise him, given the way she moves on the job. But when she's fighting, it's with a collected elegance, not a movement wasted. Here, that same grace is let loose, all the joy and energy she usually channels into her sarcasm falling into the swing of her hips and the twist of he shoulders.
He just wishes he wasn't too busy trying not to trip over his own feet to watch her.
4. "This Must Be The Place," Talking Heads
It's been an amazing vacation. A full ten days away from the lair, mostly spent half asleep under the tropical sun, surrounded by gorgeous and contented people who don't get in her way. Even a little bit of a sunburn can't wash away Shego's contentment, although the plane ride home should have. She's back in the real world now, and tomorrow starts another week of stealing and fighting and taking orders.
Drakken doesn't run to hug her hello or anything, but the smile on his face when he sees her is the warmest welcome she could hope for. "You're home."
She dumps her bags in the doorway and leans against the wall, breathing in the gloom and musty atmosphere with a comfortable sigh. Her smile is at least as broad as his. "Yeah. I am."
5. "Ghost of a Chance," Rush
Fate came to Shego when she was a kid. There was a plan in motion, a plan to create an elite superhero team that fought for truth and justice with the power of love and family. Or so Hego always used to say. She knows better now.
Everything's a choice, and every choice she makes is an effort to subvert the ones she's supposed to be making. But she can't help believing in Fate, just a little bit, because it seems to be trying so hard to punish her for arguing with it. Her career is going nowhere, every day is an uphill climb just to get anything done, and as for her personal life...
She smirks, just a little bit evilly, as she leans her head against Drakken's shoulder and he turns to kiss her temple. Okay, so she's winning on one front. Fate can try as hard as it wants. This is never getting away from her.
6. "Disease," Matchbox Twenty
Sometimes he thinks falling in love with her is the dumbest thing he's ever done. Other times he knows it is.
She's cruel, he reminds himself. Abrasive. Sarcastic. Too smart, and always ready to remind him of that fact. What does it matter that she's the most beautiful woman he's ever met, that when he's not working with her he's dreaming of her? What does it matter that her anger is the perfect balance to his, and if he ever does succeed it'll be all on her? What does it matter that he wants to be in love with her?
This will all pass soon enough, he hopes. It has to.
7. "Life Less Ordinary," Carbon Leaf
His biggest fear in this is moving too fast. He's barely managed to talk her into a date, for God's sake! How far is too far to go? He's not worried about how physical he's allowed to get; he's scared enough of her that that's not an issue. But as far as what he's allowed to say...
He gives her a nervous smile. The weather's always a safe topic, right? And the rain they've been having lately is affecting his plans, and therefore hers, so it's even relevant. So, do you think it's ever going to stop raining? It's all he needs to say, and they'll be having a real live first-date conversation. He clears his throat. "I'm in love with you."
Okay, so maybe small talk isn't going to be his strong suit.
8. "Valparaiso," Anggun
He's wearing that smile again, the eager one that says he has something up his sleeve. For once, she doesn't think it's work-related. One hand reaches out for hers. "Come on."
She doesn't know why she hesitates. Maybe it has something to do with the spectacular way his romantic efforts tend to fail. "I'm not sure about this."
He looks surprised, reducing the power on the hovercraft so it dips a little further, bringing them closer to eye-to-eye. "Why?"
She can't tell him why, can't cut him down like that when he's obviously so eager to make this work. "I just want to know what you're planning, is all."
He grins. "I don't have a plan. I just want to go anywhere, as long as it's with you."
She hurriedly closes her mouth, turning her look of shock into a smile to match his. No matter what happens next, for once he's gotten the romantic part right. She grabs his hand, nearly pulling him out of the hovercraft as he tries to sweep her into it. "Then lead the way."
9. "Accidentally In Love," Counting Crows
The scary thing is, she doesn't even realize she's said it. Drakken has to stop the conversation cold and make her repeat herself before she realizes why he looks so shocked. "All I said is, don't think you can get away with that just because I love y... Oh."
His face is morphing into the biggest grin she"s ever seen on him. "You said it first."
"I did not!" She's turning scarlet now, because she knows he's right, and he can't possibly be. "You...I...That..."
The arms around her shoulders slow her protests, and the gentle kiss that comes with them stops her altogether. "Okay," Drakken says with a laugh, humoring her. "You didn't say it." His voice drops to a whisper as his lips brush against her ear. "But I still love you, too."
10. "Falling For The First Time," Barenaked Ladies
He doesn't understand what she sees in him sometimes. He's not handsome, he's not athletic, and it's not like any of his genius plans ever actually work. She could do so much better.
"I don't want to."
He likes to think he has potential, but that's all he has. His only real ability is the strength – or maybe the stupidity – to keep on trying.
She leans against his back, draping herself over his shoulders and pressing her cheek to his. "You ever stop to think that maybe that's the part I like?"

The early bird registration rate for the World Hydropower Congress closes on Friday 22 March.
The world's most important gathering of hydropower decision-makers, innovators and experts is in Paris from 14-16 May, bringing together representatives of industry, government, finance, civil society and academia.
Knowledge sharing, capacity building and stakeholder dialogue are at the heart of this high-level biennial event, which is organised by the International Hydropower Association and supported by a range of partner organisations.
The World Hydropower Congress provides an unparalleled opportunity to share experiences, guide policies and develop strategies to strengthen the sector's performance and support sustainable development.
This year's event will focus on hydropower's role in delivering on the Paris Climate Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals, under the theme 'The Power of Water in a Sustainable, Interconnected World'.
The venue is Espace Grande Arche, situated at the foot of the monumental Grande Arche, an architectural icon of modern Paris, representing a 'doorway to the world'.
Hundreds of leading decision-makers, innovators and experts from more than 70 countries will be in attendance. Across 37 invaluable focus sessions and workshops, participation will provide an opportunity to take on new learnings, strengthen networks and build enduring partnerships for the future.
Delegates will share knowledge on how hydropower can be financed, developed and operated sustainably, as they learn from success stories and experiences from across the sector.
Three prestigious awards will be announced during the Congress: the IHA Blue Planet Prize for a sustainable hydropower project, the IHA Mosonyi Award for Excellence in Hydropower and the IHA Young Researcher Award.
Participants can also join a tour of hydropower projects in France, Germany, Luxembourg, Portugal or Switzerland between 17-18 May. All tour places must be booked by 5 April.
IHA hosted the first world congress in Turkey in 2007, followed by Iceland in 2009, Brazil in 2011, Malaysia in 2013, China in 2015, and Ethiopia in 2017.
The last World Hydropower Congress in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in May 2017 drew 700 delegates from more than 60 countries.

Africa's fourth largest river basin, the Zambezi, offers vast hydropower resources that can support sustainable economic development and prosperity across southern Africa.
The river basin's technical potential of nearly 15,000 megawatts in installed hydropower capacity could prove sufficient to meet the estimated combined electricity demand of Angola, Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe – known as the Riparian States.
Using the Hydropower Sustainability Assessment Protocol (HSAP) as a guiding reference, the International Hydropower Association (IHA) and the World Bank partnered with government agencies and local organisations to assist the Riparian States in developing and utilising the basin's hydropower resource in a sustainable and responsible way.
The 2018 assistance programme consisted of a series of assisted self-assessments using the HSAP across the river basin followed by an 'operation stage' official assessment of the existing Cahora Bassa hydroelectric scheme in Mozambique.
Participants from a range of operators and water resources managers, including Hidroeléctrica de Cahora Bassa, the Zambezi River Authority and ZESCO, learned how to apply the principles enshrined within the HSAP to their own hydropower projects.
João Costa, Senior Sustainability Specialist at IHA, said: "The application of the Hydropower Sustainability Assessment Protocol in the Zambezi River Basin provided regional stakeholders with the necessary information to effectively promote, manage and deliver sustainable hydropower and ensure the long-term viability of project benefits."
Following the completion of the programme, the World Bank published a report titled 'Application of the Hydropower Sustainability Assessment Protocol in the Zambezi River Basin' in January 2019. The report provides an overview of the capacity building programme and summarises the results and lessons learned.
In its conclusion, the report notes: "The [Hydropower Sustainability Assessment] Protocol is a useful mechanism to foster cooperation and knowledge sharing among hydropower developers and operators, enhance transparency in the dissemination of information on sustainability performance and promote the sustainability of projects through assessments."
Kimberly Lyon, Water Resources Management Analyst at the World Bank and co-author of the report, commented: "This work demonstrates the usefulness of the Hydropower Sustainability Assessment Protocol in a range of customised applications and shows that it has value for our clients seeking to elevate the way hydropower projects are developed as part of a process of continuous improvement."
The Hydropower Sustainability Assessment Protocol was launched in 2010 and offers a framework for assessing hydropower projects against a comprehensive range of social, environmental, technical and economic criteria.
The HSAP is one of three Hydropower Sustainability Assessment Tools, along with the Hydropower Sustainability Guidelines on Good International Industry Practice and the Hydropower Sustainability ESG Gap Analysis Tool, available to the hydropower sector to promote sustainability and measure performance in project planning, development and implementation.
Find out more online: hydropower.org/sustainability
The Hydropower Sustainability Assessment Tools will be presented to delegates at a focus workshop prior to the World Hydropower Congress in Paris, 14-16 May 2019, in association with Switzerland's State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO).
Organised by IHA, the high-level biennial event will bring together industry, government, finance, civil society and academia to set priorities for the future of the sector. To register to attend, please visit the event website.
1 March 2019
The HYDROPOWER EUROPE forum has launched an online consultation for stakeholders from the hydropower sector, policy-makers, civil society and academia.
The initiative, which is supported by the European Union's Horizon 2020 Programme, aims to gather inputs from the hydropower community to define a Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda and a Technology Roadmap for Europe.
The agenda and roadmap will aim to guide funding authorities, in particular the European Commission, to prioritise support where it is most needed, to assist the hydropower sector to adapt to the constantly evolving energy system.
The International Hydropower Association (IHA) is part of the multi-partner consortium that created the HYDROPOWER EUROPE forum.
Consultation events will take place over the next two years. This consultation process aims to involve all interested stakeholders to ensure that views are taken into account in developing the way forward for the European hydropower community.
All stakeholders who would like to contribute to this process can register their details along with some initial feedback, through the HYDROPOWER EUROPE Consultation Platform: https://consultation.hydropower-europe.eu/hydropower-europe-consultation-programme/
Stakeholders are encouraged to register before 6 March, so their initial feedback can be included in the first round of stakeholder analysis.
A wider consultation process will be undertaken during the following 24 months through various online consultation events combined with a series of regional workshops, including meetings in Lullea (Sweden), Lausanne (Switzerland), Crete (Greece) and Brussels.

Our return trip from Mumbai to Chennai was booked on Jet Airways (2020HRS flight). Unfortunately they had cancelled the flight, we got an sms a day before we were supposed to start from Mumbai. Since our hotel was adjacent to the Airport in Mumbai, we went to the Jet Airways Reservation Counter to clarify.
We were informed about the flight cancellation and that we will be shifted to the next flight (2135HRS). We asked if we have any fights earlier and they gave an option to travel by Air India's (Indian Airlines) flight at 2030HRS, we agreed and our tickets were endorsed.
We realised that the flight was cancelled because of less no. of passengers and Jet didn't want to waste money in flying an near empty aircraft.
The next day, we arrived at the airport at 1815HRS itself and checked in for the Air India (AI) flight. The Counter Staff were specially courteous. When we boarded the flight at 2010HRS we found that the total no. of passengers was 16 against a capacity of around 170 (20Executive + 150Economy).
We travelled with just 16 passengers on board. I was surprised why AI had not cancelled the flight.
I find it surprising that the Airline officials didnot think it prudent to send the passengers in another flight or club with another sector like Bangalore.
Airline would have save a lot in fuel (precious resource) and cost if it had done so. All it had to do was ensure passengers were comfortable during the delay period and also since the delay will cause problems for some in reaching places from Chennai Airport – it would have arranged for transport from Chennai Airport (Taxi to most places in Chennai cost 200-300Rs – for 16 passengers it would have cost a max. of 5000rs). The cost to the airline would have been less and also the reputation of the airline would also have been maintained (yes, cancellation causes heartburns in passengers – but most will be considerate if they find the airline is making efforts to ensure passengers have minimum discomfort.
Surprisingly when a private airline could combine flights why is the Govt. Airline not doing it in extremely uneconomic conditions. Basically the officials do NOT have the initiative to do such things because unlike in Private Sector their salary is NOT linked to whether their Company makes money or losses. Yes, they will loss their allowances if they don't fly.
Will this change? Hopefully for the benefit of the country. Precious fuel is wasted, Precious public money is wasted people do not seem to care about it.

Tourism exhibitions provide a platform for industry professionals to showcase their services and meet with prospective travelers, as well as establish connections with tour operators from around the world.
It is, therefore, reasonable that Iran's tourism officials and professionals want to participate in as many international tourism exhibitions as possible to attract tourists and develop the industry.
Of course, there needs to be a plan; participation in international events is costly, hence it is imperative to carefully choose target markets, which Iran's Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization has done.
Last month, the organization's tourism deputy, Morteza Rahmani Movahed, said a list of 40 countries had been compiled based on indices, such as per capita income and number of outbound travelers. The countries were ranked based on the scores they received.
Compilation of such a list is doubtless an important step, especially given recent problems between the public and private sectors.
For years, tourism officials at ICHHTO have been citing low funding as the main reason behind Iran's lack of participation in most international exhibitions. On the other hand, the private sector has been vocal about not receiving any support from the organization to participate in such events.
Burying the Hatchet
In an interview with the Persian travel news website Donyaye Safar, the promotion and marketing deputy at ICHHTO's Tourism Department, Ali Baqer Nemati Zargaran, said measures have been taken to bring the public and private sectors closer and enhance cooperation.
"We have devised regulations that prioritize international exhibitions," he said.
According to the regulations, ICHHTO will represent Iran in two leading global exhibitions: FITUR and ITB Berlin that are held annually in January and March respectively.
Exhibitions held in target markets, including Russia, Turkey, Italy, France, India, Malaysia, China, Japan and South Korea, will be attended by the private sector.
Zargaran said the organization will inform the private sector of the details of exhibitions and "support those who participate."
Participation in events held in countries that are not among the organization's target markets is encouraged but not supported by ICHHTO.
Eying Chinese and Russian Markets
Recalling Iran's participation in Russia's tourism exhibition last year, the official said Iran will attend this year's expo as well, adding that Russia is a key market due to having 40 million outbound travelers every year and boasting a large Muslim community.
"Russia's strained ties with the West and Iran's climate can help draw more Russians to Iran," he said.
Zargaran said the Chinese market is also important and pointed to Iran's participation in China International Travel Mart.
"We're going to organize familiarization tours for tourism officials and journalists from Russia and China," he revealed.

GATHERINGS STARTING IN OCTOBER – Sundays, 1:00 p.m. at 16th and Ogden, 1635 Ogden Street, Denver, Colorado.
CONVERSATIONS: "Craving Biblical Conversation", Wednesday nights, 7:00 p.m. at 16th and Ogden, 1635 Ogden Street, Denver, Colorado.
Reverend Karen W. Schneider, Senior Pastor
As we studied the Bible this Sunday, it reminded us all of the purpose of soul revival and restoration. The soul needs continual restoration through prayer, worship, religious study, community involvement, service to Jesus, and replenishing. And as we take Communion, it serves as a rebirth, rejuvenation, cleansing and restructuring of our souls. The soul takes it all in, the heart, the mind, the physical body and the holy spirit. Let them all work together for your soul to be restored.
Join us for our gatherings starting the first Sunday in October, – October 5th, 2014 at 16th and Ogden for worship and thanksgiving of our Lord. Our service will start at 1:00 p.m. Join us for our gathering, our garden viewing and our conversation. There will be reception following.
Love and Peace, Pastor Karen

Each year, the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) Bulletin publishes a Review of Survey Activities special issue. This includes original research, new methods, dataset documentation and literature reviews relevant to geoscience research in Denmark, Greenland and the Arctic region.
To be included in this special issue, at least one author should be affiliated with GEUS at the time that the research was carried out.
Articles in this issue are short papers (max 6 sides of typeset manuscript) and are intended to be peer reviewed within 4–8 weeks of submission. All articles undergo an initial check for readability, structure and scientific content. Articles that pass this stage are then reviewed by at least two independent scientists with expertise in the field.
This year, the Review of Survey Activities 2019 special issue will be compiled from the short papers published throughout 2020 in the GEUS Bulletin. This means that manuscripts can be submited anytime. However, we encourage authors to submit in good time and as early as possible. For example, a manuscript submitted before 1 March that requires minimal pre-review language edits or clarifications could be expected to complete the review stage by mid-April.
Guidelines for how to submit and prepare manuscripts are provided below and can be downloaded here.
Our submissions are currently processed manually. Authors are requested to email the editor in chief ahead of submission to alert us of your intention to submit. Please include a working title and authorship list if known, submission type (e.g. a short paper for the review of survey of activities) and an approximate submission date.
When you are ready to submit, please email the full manuscript, figures and a completed submission checklist to the editor in chief.
Consult the quick look-up guidelines below before preparing and submitting your manuscript.
Full author instructions provide further information that will help in preparation of your manuscript, including figure and table formatting and reference style.
This should include title, authors, affiliations, 5 key words, a short summary, references, figure and table captions and acknowledgements.
Use single or 1.5 spaced text with line numbers, 12pt font.
Submit tables as an excel or word file and figures as individual files.
Figure files should be of print quality. Acceptable formats are .png, .jpeg, .tif, .eps, .ai, .pdf (with vector layers).
Read the figure guidelines* ahead of preparing your figures.
The summary should be suitable for a broadly scientific audience and summarise the key research question and outcomes of the study or article.
This is included in the total word count for the manuscript. Do not use in-text citations.
Additional figures and tables that provide supporting information can be supplied as supplementary files.
We encourage authors to submit the original datasets as supplementary files or provide a link (DOI or URL) to the data online.
Document the steps taken during sample/data collection and preparation, analytical procedures, the make and model of equipment used, and the statistical treatment of the data.
A longer methodology can be supplied as a supplementary file.
References should be supplied in full and formatted to our in-house style as described here**.
Please include the DOI link for each reference where available in the format https://doi.org...

Please state the desired publication size for each figure submitted. Figures can come in three widths: 1 column (82 mm), 1½ column (112 mm) or 2 columns (171 mm). Typeset tables will be 82 or 171 mm wide. The maximum page height is 232 mm. Please bear these dimensions in mind when preparing your figures. Use the same font for all figures for consistency. Our preferred font is Gills Sans Alt One (regular), but we accept other sans-serif fonts (e.g. Helvetica).

Acceptable file formats for figures are .png, .jpg, .tif, .eps, .ai and .pdf (with vector layers). Tables can be submitted in excel or word.
We may contact you to request a particular file format or to request specific formatting edits later in the production process.
Additional tables and figures can be submitted as supplementary files.
Email the editorial office with any questions regarding figure formatting.
NB: Further guidance can be found in the full author instructions (figure and table formatting and referencing guidelines).
A full summary of our in-house citation style is available for download in the full author instructions.
If you are using a citation programme like Endnote, the APA style is a close approximation to our in-house style. In this case, authors could export references in APA style, taking care to remove any linked fields in the word document and to format the references individually to our in-house style before submission.
Email the editorial office with any questions regarding in-text citation and reference list formatting.
Please check the manuscript for grammar and ensure that it has been spell-checked. Where relevant, we encourage authors to have their manuscript read by a native English speaker or a colleague whose written English is of an excellent standard. Use UK English as per the GEUS Bulletin glossary.
Please contact the editorial office if you require help with the language ahead of submission – this can help to speed along the submissions process overall.
Authors should write for a broad field of scientific interests so that your results can be understood as widely as possible. We ask that authors restrict the use of subject specific terminology without first defining it in the text. Acronyms should also be kept to a minimum and clearly defined at first use.
Please email any questions to the editor in chief, including if you are unsure as to whether your article is suitable for publication in the GEUS Bulletin.

text: This middle-aged female patient came to our office with several concerns all in the lower portion of her face. She was not happy with her nasolabial folds, marionette lines, or the fine lines that were appearing along her lip line. Dr. Rivkin recommended Juvederm Ultra to correct all three of the areas she was concerned about. With the use of this gel filler she was given a smooth and natural result that literally took years off her face and gave her a lifted appearance and happier expression. Her after picture shows the drastic change in her entire face just by filling in the areas in her lower face that had lost natural collagen. She was overwhelmed with her results and the confidence that it gave her.
