Lakeside Better Not Bigger
Educate DeKalb Education
The decision to expand Chamblee Charter HS, Dunwoody HS, and Lakeside HS was reached without the understanding or agreement of the majority of residents within the surrounding Lakeside HS neighborhoods. As details of both the decision making process and underlying reasoning have emerged over time, valid questions have been raised about how to integrate this expansion in a way that doesn't further degrade the academic experience and surrounding neighborhood but remain unaddressed.
Lakeside HS Student Parking
Residents within the Lakeside High School neighborhoods have expressed growing concerns about the ability of the surrounding neighborhood to support expansion of a high school that was originally designed for 1200 students to 2600+ students. There are significant pre-existing traffic and environmental concerns plus chronic parking problems for this landlocked school that is located within a residential neighborhood lacking the infrastructure to support this expansion. As a result, neighborhood groups have appealed to the DeKalb County School Board Leadership expressing those concerns. Personal presentations have also been made to Superintendent Green and School Board Representative Jim McMahan. To date, these concerns have been heard but largely ignored.

The following letter was sent by these neighborhood groups to the DeKalb County School Leadership
October 31, 2017
DeKalb County School District Board of Education
Robert R. Freeman Administrative Complex
1701 Mountain Industrial Boulevard
Stone Mountain, Georgia 30083
Dear Dr. Green and Board of Education Members,
We reach out to each of you because we are concerned about recent decisions made on behalf of our children and our community. We refer specifically to the administration's recommendation and the DeKalb BOE's affirmative vote to make physical additions to Lakeside, Dunwoody, and Chamblee Charter High Schools using SPLOST V money. We understand these plans were designed to deliver greatly needed relief from overcrowding in the areas these high schools serve and provide for projected enrollment increases. We fully appreciate the need to relieve the problems caused by the overcrowding.
However, we feel there is far more at stake than facilities. We believe the administration and the DeKalb BOE must consider longer-term options that are potentially more beneficial for our community at large and will ensure a more effective educational experience for our young people. We are speaking up now because, for the majority of our community, there is no knowledge of this significantly impactful plan. We have many concerns but we would like to highlight the most important as succinctly as possible.
The Lakeside High School (LHS) student population has already been increased to its breaking point.
Lakeside opened in 1964 and its facilities have been enhanced and improved many times over its 53-year history. This includes a $23 million renovation and addition completed in the summer of 2012, adding a new classroom wing and performing arts building. As of 10/3/17 its enrollment is 2,165 and growing. It is still accessible only via Briarcliff Road, a heavily traveled, 2-lane, residential street. To date there are no known plans to undertake the improvements required to stabilize the watershed situation, widen Briarcliff Road and properly support any expansion to LHS. There are multiple reasons these current facilities should not be expanded. More importantly, as the neighborhoods around it continue to grow, a "quick fix" would not serve the community or our students well. Rather a 15-30-year strategic plan to accommodate expected growth and changing student and community needs is a necessity.
Too few citizens, directly impacted by these decisions, are fully aware of what you have decided on their behalf.
The process included many confusing layers of entities claiming to be the voice of the community, i.e., PTAs, School Foundations, School Councils, the Emory-LaVista Parent Council, the Lakeside Cluster Summit, and more. Most did not provide the administration and BOE with recommendations; others could not reach consensus and some did not know meetings were being held. It is also important to note that these are all "education-focused" groups and do not include community members with no daily connection to the schools. This situation begs the question, "Who speaks for the community when so many were not included in the process, or the communication chain, at all?"
The DeKalb County Commissioners are in unanimous disagreement with this decision.
The Commissioners have formally asked the DeKalb County School District not to expand the three high schools as described above, but rather to focus on the planned building of a much needed new high school in the Region 1 and 2 areas. The County urges the School District to consider the infrastructure impact caused by adding space for a substantial number of new students at these schools, as well as consider public infrastructure needs as it builds new schools and redevelops existing schools to increase capacity. We believe that for any expansion or building decision to be successful, effective collaboration with, and the cooperation of, the county Planning, Development, and Public Works Departments to ensure infrastructure issues are handled appropriately is essential.
The DeKalb County School District's vision "to inspire our community of learners to achieve educational excellence" will not be met by this decision.
The student experience has been severely neglected in this approach. Expansion forces a patchwork of buildings that precludes keeping departments together so they can work and collaborate daily. Many students, especially those riding buses, are currently late to school due to traffic on roads for which there is no planned solution. This impacts feeder schools and instruction time at all schools. With increased traffic, that problem will only worsen. More students will be forced to ride the bus to schools that are further from their homes, and they will be unable to take advantage of after school tutoring and other supportive programs. As each school grows larger, more students will be unable to participate in extracurricular activities due to a limited number of spaces within athletic teams, drama programs, music programs, etc. Further, the expansion plan does not include increasing the common spaces by the same percentage as the student population, i.e., locker rooms, physical education space, cafeteria capacity, etc. If we do not include these factors, which both drive and support an enriched educational experience, the current expansion decision most certainly will inhibit student learning and growth.
Neglected watershed, fragile ecosystem, and flooding can no longer be ignored.
We speak to this issue because flooding within the Echo Lake Sub Basin directly impacts student and public safety. Lakeside High School sits within the Echo Lake Sub Basin, a fragile watershed that has been neglected for over 40 years. Stream bank erosion and deposition of sediment into creeks, ponds, lakes and culverts have rendered the storm water management system inadequate and untenable.
In February 1976, the Echo Lake Branch Sub-Basin Study, focusing specifically on the 2.5 square-mile area surrounding LHS, clearly recommended what needed to be done to support the natural and man-made infrastructure of this area. Regardless of what may/may not have been done as a result of this study, a new Dewberry Study issued in July 2017 cites the exact same issues and needed corrections 40 years later. It appears that none of this was taken into consideration for the 2011-12 expansion, nor for the current decision to expand LHS again. Increased traffic and projected growth will result in continued damage to this delicate ecosystem and poses a risk to student and public safety. Until the storm water management system throughout the Echo Lake Sub Basin is addressed, there should be no development upstream, including Lakeside High School.
We are sincere in our efforts to support the BOE, DeKalb County and our high schools. Given the overcrowded situation, we seek the best proactive, long-term options available to positively impact the academic achievement of our young people. We are asking that the BOE do the following right now:
- Place all currently planned actions on hold in order to listen to our community's concerns.
- Provide the opportunity for all stakeholders impacted by this decision to fully understand what has been decided and why. This requires transparency through well planned and well publicized town hall meetings that will provide us the opportunity to speak and listen directly to the experts about these concerns.
- Prepare now to reopen discussion on the current decisions with the goal to adopt long-term solutions that will ensure the education our students deserve as well as protect the physical environment.
- Respond to this letter providing concrete suggestions as to how we proceed to collaborate on these issues within 30 days.
We stand ready to take on much of the work required to get people out to learn from our BOE officials, the DCSD administration, and other experts who best understand the issues. Further, the school district's own enrollment projections show that these schools will be at capacity when these expansions are complete and to our knowledge, there is no identified plan for additional growth. This fact heightens our assessment that this is the right time to stop and ensure longer-term solutions are considered so that our students will be inspired and able to achieve your vision of educational excellence.

Jamal Crawford may want to join the Warriors.
The 38-year-old guard has serious interest in playing for Golden State, according to a report from USA Today. The Warriors could consider signing Crawford to a veteran's minimum contract this offseason, the report says.
Jeff Luhnow: I think that from our offense, we looked at how young our position-player group is across the board. [Josh] Reddick has just turned [31], and he's our veteran. Springer is still young, [Jose] Altuve is young, Correa is young, Bregman Authentic Anthony Miller Jersey is super young. We Womens Carlos Gonzalez Jersey have a young group and they played well together last year. I do believe that there is more in there, even though you have an MVP and other guys who made the All-Star Game, just because they have more experience and more time in the game, and now they've won together as a group. Yuli [Gurriel] is just entering his second full season of major league baseball. On the catching side, we've got guys who are a little bit older, but that wisdom is what really helps us and helps our pitchers. On the position-player side, we really felt like that group had a chance to be better, even though they had a historic year offensively.
Marcus Semien and Khris Davis drove in http://www.bearsfootballproonline.com/Anthony-Miller-Jersey runs against Trevor Bauer (7-6) as the A's followed up a four-game sweep at Detroit with a win in the opener of a five-game homestand.
Jed Lowrie provided insurance with a solo homer in the eighth off Zach McAllister to move Oakland a season-high seven games over .500.
Games like that, it feels like a 10-run homer, manager Bob Melvin said. The guys coming to the plate get your attention in the last inning. It was paramount. It gives you a little bit of wiggle room.
Blake Treinen allowed two baserunners in the ninth before earning his 21st save in 23 chances. He has converted 18 straight save opportunities.
Blackburn (2-2) had a 12.70 ERA his http://www.officialrockiestore.com/Carlos_Gonzalez_Jersey past three starts and struggled early against Cleveland, with four of the first seven batters reaching base safely. But a caught stealing and a double play helped him make it through the first two innings unscathed and he settled down from there.
He retired 14 of the final 15 batters he faced, allowing only a two-out walk to Yonder Alonso in the fourth before leaving after retiring Edwin Encarnacion to open the seventh. Blackburn allowed three hits and struck out five.

Michael Tilson Thomas has come up with the perfect cure for holiday doldrums: all Lou Harrison, all the time.
The formula is simple. Listen to Harrison's music. Feel delighted. Repeat.
Friday night, Tilson Thomas and select members of the San Francisco Symphony introduced the third season of the SoundBox series with a program devoted to Harrison's life and works. "The Lou Harrison Centennial Celebration," presented in advance of the late composer's 100th birthday, was a superb evening of performances, video clips, biography and tributes.
No one who recalled the composer's trailblazing career could have been surprised. Composer, musician, instrument builder, social activist — and, as Tilson Thomas put it, "an out gay man before there was such a thing as being out" — Harrison (1917-2003) was one of a kind.
So was his music. While others of his era confined themselves to the more austere forms of minimalism, Harrison, who lived much of his later life in the Santa Cruz Mountains, wrote music that was colorful, melodic, and invariably joy-inducing.
He drew on influences from Renaissance and Baroque works to Asian tunings and instruments, particularly the Indonesian gamelan. Harrison and his longtime partner, Bill Colvig, created numerous "American" gamelan instruments, using brake drums, oxygen tanks, and other found objects; Tilson Thomas noted that during their time together, the two men built more than 300 original instruments.
The gamelan's unique sound was featured in Friday's highlight, a performance of three movements from Harrison's 1973 "Suite for Violin with American Gamelan." It was a thrilling example of the composer's innovative approach. With the Symphony's associate concertmaster, Nadya Tichman, playing the flowing violin part, six percussionists produced beguiling sounds on instruments from Harrison's collection. Tilson Thomas led an immersive, ravishing performance.
There were sublime contributions throughout the evening, which started with members of the Symphony Chorus featured in the Kyrie from Harrison's 1939 "Mass to St. Anthony." From there, it was on to the composer's "Concerto No. 1 for Flute and Percussion," given a fresh, mercurial reading by flutist Timothy Day and percussionists Jacob Nissly and Tom Hemphill. The "Canticle No. 3," which makes the ocarina a featured instrument, produced a wonderfully liquid sound, and the "Suite for Cello and Harp" came across in tender, pensive statements.
Tilson Thomas, recalling Harrison's visits to Japan, Taiwan, and Korea — and his deeply felt responses to war, Hiroshima, and the McCarthy era — made selections from the composer's "Pacifika Rondo" another revelation. The martial music of one movement, titled "A Hatred of the Filthy Bomb," was especially moving.
Excerpts from Harrison's "Concerto for Organ with Percussion Orchestra" closed the evening in another brilliant episode. Michael Hey was the organ soloist, playing with measured grace in the slow movement and tremendous verve and precision in the Allegro finale. Earlier in the evening, Tilson Thomas had said that Harrison "cultivated elegance," and this piece demonstrated it in glorious musical terms.
Friday's performance launched the 2017 SoundBox series, which presents concerts in a relaxed atmosphere in a former rehearsal space at the back of Zellerbach Hall. Upcoming programs in the series include a concert curated by composer Mason Bates (Jan 20-21), a John Adams 70th Birthday celebration (Feb. 10-11), an evening with Michael Tilson Thomas (March 10-11), and a program with S.F. Symphony Principal Trombone Tim Higgins (April 14-15.). More information is available at http://sfsoundbox.com.

Earth Day is a great occasion to get creative while teaching our children to care for our planet, to keep our earth clean and to preserve its natural resources. It's an opportunity to provide experiences that activate awareness and understanding, to experience empathy and humility at something bigger than ourselves, to stay curious, to wonder and marvel at the connections between all living things on our earth. To be humble, to be kind.
Awe creates a sense of something bigger than ourselves. Humility. Humility leads to wondering, which leads to questions, questions lead to thoughtfulness, thoughtfulness leads to conversation (or action), conversation leads to others, others lead to collaboration, and collaboration leads to relationship, new perspectives, awareness, and often transformation. – Bigger and Better than Ourselves: Humility, Marla Mc Lean, Atelierista at atelier.schoolwithinschool.org, 2016
How can we help the earth? What hurts the earth?
Did you know that a plastic bag can can take at least 10 years to decompose, aluminum cans up to 200 years, and disposable diapers over 500 years? After we learned that our planet's resources aren't infinite and won't last forever, the children brainstormed a few things that hurt the earth:
"Wasting water, throwing trash in the ocean, cutting down the trees, driving everywhere."
We asked "How can we help the earth?":
"Be nice to bugs, recycle, don't leave the lights on, don't litter, use both sides of your paper, plant trees, walk more, learn to ride a bike, use jars, don't throw away paint, turn off the water while brushing your teeth, don't use toilet paper :)!"
To wonder and to ask questions inevitably leads to more thoughtfulness and understanding. There's been lots of litter on our playground which the children decided to clean up. They suggested to make a trash truck to not only gather all the trash but to show and display what people leave behind on our earth.
This would be the perfect time to take your children on a field trip to the landfill. After at least watching a video about landfills and recycling, we've decided to reuse our found trash. The children suggested we'd make signs to remind people not to litter on our playground and we collaged our trash into signs and a playground banner that say: "Don't be a litterbug!".
- Matboard from your local framer or cardboard
- Trash
- School glue
- Sharpies or oil pastels
- Watercolors
- Collage materials (feathers, sequins, glitter, foam shapes, pompoms, tissue paper shapes, scrap construction paper, washi tape, pipecleaners, googly eyes etc.)
- Wooden dowels
- Low temp glue gun
- Beads
Step 1: Collage
Set out trays with the collected trash (candy wrappers, straws, nails, cans etc.), bottles of school glue, some water-resist sharpies and other collage items you might have in your supply closet (tissue paper shapes, googly eyes, pompoms etc.) along with a printout of photos of actual bugs. Invite the children to create their own litterbug. Sit back, observe, help with handling the materials and watch as magic happens!
Step 2: Paint
Once the children are finished assembling their litterbugs, offer them watercolors and see if they want to color their litterbugs. Most children can't resist a paintbrush and bright watercolors.
Step 3: Attach a hanger
Finish your litterbugs by attaching a hanger to each of your recycled collages. I hot glued a wooden dowel to the mat boards, attached a wire and let the children thread some beads onto it. They also asked me to write the message: "Don't be a litterbug!" on each of their signs.
What can you and your family do to help preserve the earth? We continue to pick up trash and played trash truck for many weeks after this project :).
Have fun!
♥ Claudia.

Haley exit frees Mitch, money
Haley Barbour's surprise announcement Monday that he won't run for president now turns all eyes upon Indianapolis. Without his good friend Barbour in the race, does this now make it more likely that Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels will run?
This much is sure: the Mississippian's departure leaves open a network of Republicans who are now free agents. Barbour aides suggested Monday that the governor will take some time before weighing in on the race, but he will be looked to in the weeks ahead for signals as to who he favors.
Barbour had developed little following among grass-roots Republicans, but his exit from the field frees up a money crowd he has cultivated over his decades as an operative, lobbyist, party chairman and governor. These establishment Republicans either have personal ties to Barbour, have some hesitation about getting behind former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney — or both. So they're ripe targets for Daniels.
But former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Romney himself and Newt Gingrich are likely already moving on some of them. Some may wait for Daniels. But every day he delays his decision is a day those in the race will be making their case and trying to win the primary for what could have been Team Haley.

Submitted by William Haller on
Yesterday, I looked out on our deck. There's this little yellow canary on the floor of the deck and he's just sitting there and I thought "That's odd". Sometimes they'll come and perch and fly away and it just sat there and sat there so I was trying to interpret that and then I looked at my window and there was this little circle of little tiny yellow feathers stuck on the window. Well, obviously, it was flying along and "boink" and it hit the window. It was kind of stunned. It didn't kill it but it was like stunned like just sitting there.
So I'm thinking of this yellow canary - and why is it not flying away - and I saw the rest of the picture. It had run in a head on collision with my window. Though many times they probably die he was just stunned. He probably had quite a headache after that. But he soon flew away. How many times are we just flying along and things as we know them come to an abrupt stop.
We lose our job. A health concern comes - I think of my husband and three years ago in June when he was diagnosed with cancer and it was like someone put a grenade in my lap and it went off. I even checked for the Big Dipper about two o'clock in the morning and it was still there so I thought O.K. things are still in motion here. Even our great ideas that don't work, our relationships - either they're falling apart or God's asking us "No, you stick it out". We argue, we blame, we wrestle, we question, we throw a fit and our God is big enough to handle all these but ultimately He will ask us to surrender. Let go of that white knuckle hold of control and fall into His arms of grace.
With white it represents also purity. We don't come to Him white. We come to Him soiled and sinful and He cleanses us and then we are white. White can also represent the Holy Spirit. I'm just so appreciative of His hovering presence over us as He enables us to surrender. And then as we surrender in the midst of the storm then comes that little waft of His song - a song of the Spirit - the comfort of His Spirit - and the strategies of our Abba Father. And once again we're safe and find our refuge, our high tower, our unchanging peace. Our God who never leaves us or forsakes us.
So I just pray that even as I was worshiping in the back, I just kept waving this white flag as a symbol of Him enabling us to surrender. It's a good place in the arms of grace of our Father. So I just symbolically just pray that surrender to Him.
James 4: We have not because we ask not. You can paraphrase that - we have not because we don't surrender it - because we just keep hanging on to it.

Astros moving out of Central Florida after spring training
Team will move to West Palm Beach
This is the last year the Houston Astros will be doing their spring training in Central Florida. Next season, the team is moving to West Palm Beach.
County officials said this will be a big blow to the community, and some local fans agree.
Kissimmee resident Chuck Sabo became a Houston Astros fan when he moved to the area 15 years ago. He's been coming to spring training every year since.
"It's going to be tough next year," Sabo said.
After more than three decades playing in Osceola County, the team is getting ready to pack up and move to West Palm Beach, along with the Washington Nationals. For Sabo, it's the end of a tradition.
"I don't like it at all. I became an Astros fan, and I enjoyed coming here every year, so it's going to be rough," Sabo said.
As players warmed up, dozens of fans lined up for autographs and the chance to meet their favorite players up close. County officials estimate they'll lose between $25 million and $40 million a year in lost tourist revenue. And while it's unlikely the county will get another spring training team, the stadium, which underwent an $18 million renovation in 2003, can be used for high school and college tournaments.
"It's great seeing kids grow up, play here, and then become major league stars," said Don Miers, the county's sports and event director. Miers has seen Hall of Famers come through and remembers the stadium's opening day.
"Disney came out and did a great opening day show. Nolan Ryan and Jose Cruz were dancing on the field with Mickey Mouse and Goofy. It was a lot of fun," Miers said.
Shortstop Carlos Correa also has fond memories.
"Sad to leave. It's a great place here in Kissimmee. Great fans here supporting us. Time to go to West Palm Beach, go out there, and keep working," Correa said.
Lured by a new stadium that will position them closer to other teams, the Houston Astros are saying farewell to Central Florida.
"We know it's their last year. We're just glad to be here. Wherever they go, we'll go with them," said Jim Freeman, a fan from Corpus Christie, Texas.
The Astros will kick off their final spring training season with their first home game next Friday against the St. Louis Cardinals. The Atlanta Braves, which plays at Disney, is also mulling a move to St. Pete when their contract ends next year.

The folks over at Hammacher tend to throw in superlatives whenever they are describing some of the stuff that they sell over there. The thing is, who are the ones carrying the standard and enforcing it? Well, if it is an in-house proclamation, every Tom, Dick and Harry can sell plenty of "sound good" items, but I suppose Hammacher has done their homework before, which is why they have managed to stay in business all this while. The latest device to roll out from them that carries a "The Best" title in the name would be the $229.95 The Best Automatic Hose Reel.
Folks who spend plenty of time in the garden would be able to know just how useful it is to have a hose reel ready, and just how the heck did it pick up the "The Best" rating from the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute? Well, it did so because it was the easiest to retract and most durable, and analysts have already done their bit to retract each model 50 times, making The Best Automatic Hose Reel being the only model that retracted every single time without fail. Kiss goodbye to required multiple tugs, as you can snake the Best model around the garden nonchalantly with its 66′ hose, in addition to its ability to swivel 180° when mounted to a wall and 360° when mounted to a deck surface.

OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA.- The Oklahoma City Museum of Art will open special exhibition, "Master Strokes: Dutch and Flemish Drawings from the Golden Age," organized by the Victoria and Albert Museum, London Oct. 28. This marks the first time this collection, featuring 90 masterpieces by artists such as Peter Paul Rubens, Sir Anthony van Dyck and Rembrandt van Rijn, has been exhibited outside Europe.
"This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to see this collection in the U.S.," said director of curatorial affairs Dr. Michael J. Anderson. "The exhibition is organized by period and genre and showcases works of a great variety of subject matter. This is exciting for us, as we recently reinstalled our permanent collection on our second floor around the concept of genre. I encourage everyone who visits 'Master Strokes' to also spend time in our second-floor galleries; the exhibition will help illuminate and contextualize these galleries for guests."
Organized into five sections, the exhibition is grouped thematically and chronologically to demonstrate contrasts and similarities between the artistic style and practice in the Northern and Southern Netherlands. The exhibition begins with pre-Golden Age works and is followed by three sections focused on the Golden Age separated by genre: religion and mythology, people, and landscapes and nature. The exhibition concludes with post-Golden Age Works. Approximately 60 artists are represented in the exhibition, and the work spans 400 years.
The exhibition includes designs for stained glass, tapestries and prints, alongside portraits, figure studies, genre scenes, landscapes and botanical studies. Drawings range from sketches and sketchbooks to working studies and finished "pictured drawings," using a variety of mediums and techniques including watercolors, "trois crayons" (a traditional drawing technique using three colors of chalk) and pastels.
As part of this exhibition, OKCMOA is collaborating with the Conservatory for Classical Art in Edmond, Oklahoma. The conservatory will work with OKCMOA to offer drawing classes throughout the fall including "Drawing in the Style of the Old Masters," "Introduction to Portrait Drawing" and more

How Brain Training Can Help Special Needs Children
In the recent months, Singapore Brain Development Centre has received an increase in the number of enquiries from parents of special needs children in the areas of their children's developmental issues. As we listened and took an understanding of the issues faced by struggling children as with troubled parents, we would like to share how our customized program of Brain Training, together with our specialized child gym training program could integrate and help special needs children to lead a better life.
In this article, we would be sharing on a case study of how Singapore Brain's program has helped in a Global Developmental Delay child, named *Isabelle, to improve on her overall cognitive skills as well as in her overall behavioral issues. *Name has been changed to protect the identity of the student.
So what is Global Developmental Delay, in short GDD?
Global developmental delay is a term used to describe a generalized intellectual disability that is usually characterized by lower than average intellectual functioning along with significant limitations in at least two other areas of development. Common signs of global developmental delay include delayed acquisition of milestones (e.g., sitting up, crawling, walking), limited reasoning or conceptual abilities, poor social skills and judgement, aggressive behaviour as a coping skill, and communication difficulties.
Global developmental delay has many causes which, as an end result, affect the functioning of the central nervous system. Causes can be genetic (e.g., Fragile X syndrome), or metabolic (e.g., PKU), prenatal (e.g., rubella or birth trauma), perinatal (e.g., prematurity or the result of a childhood injury or infection). Sometimes the cause for the condition is undetermined.
How Brain Training has helped Isabelle
Isabelle, a 9-year-old child, first came to Singapore Brain in January 2015 after being diagnosed with Global Developmental Delay. She also showed symptoms of sensory issues such as movement and regulation issues, which will affect her judgment and perceptual abilities. She has difficulty in sequencing and recognizing patterns, which will affect her ability to perform in Mathematics subject, although she has shown better response in terms of her language ability.
Singapore Brain conducted a Clinical Test (CT), which would measure individual cognitive and decoding skills, on Isabelle. The CT includes sub tests of the six major skill groups and a rating survey for Attention. The six skill group sub tests cover Processing Speed, Working Memory, Long-Term Memory, Visual Processing, Auditory Processing, and Logic & Reasoning.
The assessment resulted in Isabelle's overall cognitive ability that fell in the lower range of 1.85 years below her age, which displayed signs of cognitive delay based on her chronological age of 9 year old. Isabelle was also weaker in her Processing speed skills, Working Memory skills, Logic Reasoning skills, and Word Attack skills. In addition, she also presented significantly weak in her Auditory skills, Processing Speed skills, and Visual Processing skills.
Having gone through Singapore Brain's program for over a span of 7 months, where we customised a training program consisting of specialized child gym training and sensory integration exercises targeted to improve Isabelle's fine motor skills and Brain Training program, Isabelle has shown tremendous improvements; from being able to successfully get adjusted to the environment better and positively to being able to complete tasks such as school assignments in an effective pace. Isabelle is also able to create conversations with her classmates, parents, family members as well as with her teachers and trainers in Singapore Brain; where her social skills were no longer how it were when she first came in as being very shy and afraid of people surrounding her.
The trainers at Singapore Brain are very proud upon seeing her developmental improvements. How did we do it? How did a child, as to which a delayed child be able to function and improve so much better and faster after going through our program? Because, we believe that all children can and will be able to maximise his/her brain's potential to the fullest, and that through patience and the right treatments of our Brain training program; over a course of time, yes, a delayed child like Isabelle, will be able to achieve optimistic results in her overall cognitive abilities.
For troubled parents with struggling children in the special needs areas; of which for this case of Global developmental delay (GDD), let Singapore Brain ease your worries and let us help improve the life of your child through our specialised Brain Training programs.

You should check your policy of Title Insurance for your real property before you transfer the property to a Trust.
To transfer real property to a trust, the client executes a grant deed, frequently called a "quitclaim deed" or a "trust transfer deed," to himself, herself, or (in the case of a couple) themselves as trustee(s) of the trust.
CLTA POLICIES: Some Title Insurance companies have taken the position that the transfer of real property to a revocable living trust may terminate coverage of title insurance if you have a standard California Land Title Association (CLTA) policy. Before we transfer any of your real property to a trust, you should obtain any necessary endorsement (such as a CLTA 107.9 endorsement – additional insured) to ensure that the policy continues to apply to the trustee as insured. The insurance company may charge you a fee to issue the endorsement.
ALTA POLICIES: The definition of the term "insureds" in the standard American Land Title Association (ALTA) policy is more expansive than in the standard CLTA policy, and thus at this time may cover a transfer to a revocable trust. You should check with your title insurance company to conform that this is the case for your policy, and get the confirmation in writing.

Candace Cameron Bure recently came under attack on Instagram after she shared a photo of herself posing in a "Not Today Satan" t-shirt.
What was probably meant to be an innocent tongue-in-cheek post by the Fuller House star quickly turned into a heated feud with another celebrity.
The signature phrase on Candace's shirt was made famous by RuPaul's Drag Race winner Bianca Del Rio, who used it during her time on the popular drag competition show.
More From Woman's Day
Bianca—who sells "Not Today Satan" merchandise on her website and named her latest comedy tour after the expression—reposted Candace's photo on her own Instagram. The comic also added the caption, "IF ONLY, THIS HOMOPHOBIC, REPUBLICAN KNEW………"
Thousands of Bianca's followers flooded Candace's post with "horrible" comments insisting that she is a homophobe and calling her out for not knowing the origin of the popular phrase. A politically and religiously charged battle quickly began between fans on the two Instagram accounts.
The commenters may have been referring to opinions that Candace expressed about a situation involving gay marriage while she was co-hosting The Viewin 2015.
In response to Bianca's post and the ensuing backlash, Candace commented a peaceful response:
"I'm not homophobic and [it's] always sad when people think otherwise. Loving Jesus doesn't mean I hate gay people or anyone. You sent a bunch of hateful people to my page writing horrible things. I hope next time you'll spread love and kindness, even when you disagree with people. Sending you love and wish you all the best. Truly."
Bianca later posted a screenshot of Candace's comment, accompanied by some emojis and hashtags.
We aren't sure if this means they've settled feud, but hopefully the cyberbullying on both ends of the comments sections will cease.

Amended Returns Change of Address Taxpayer Identification Numbers Direct Deposit Armed Forces Business Offsets, Taxpayers Outside the U.S. and Other Questions Armed Forces Q. How will members of the armed forces receive their stimulus payments? A. Members of the armed forces need to file a 2007 income tax return to receive the stimulus payment. Q. I have a Social Security Number, but my spouse has an ITIN. Can we get a payment? A. Yes, if you are a member of the armed forces. You will get a payment in November. Q. Will military personnel stationed in a combat zone get an automatic extension to file? A. Combat zone personnel receive an automatic extension to file their returns. However, if they wish to receive the economic stimulus payments in 2008, they must file their 2007 income tax returns in time for the IRS to process them before the end of the year. To ensure a stimulus payment is made this year, the return should have been filed no later than Oct. 15. If a return was not filed by that time or if it cannot be processed before the end of 2008, the payment can be claimed as a credit on the 2008 tax return that is filed in 2009.

This new set includes all of the original Monty Python albums, remastered along with all of the bonus tracks included in the 2006 edition. It will be released on CD and on vinyl. The box set includes a copy of the rare exclusive 7" single "Monty Python's Tiny Black Round Thing" that includes the classic "Election" sketch introduced by D.P. Gumby on one side and an extended version of one of their more well-known songs, "Lumberjack Song" on the other side. Fans may already have these albums in their collection, but one of the greatest things in this collection is the new artwork and liner notes explaining the history of the albums. Little insights behind the third record groove on "The Monty Python Matching Tie And Handkerchief" and how "Monty Python's Contractual Obligation Album" could have easily been a double-album with enough material left over that was never released. This set features almost ten hours of Monty Python humor that should be in every fan's collection.
If this box set is too much Monty Python for you, Universal Music also recently released "Monty Python Sings...Again." This new set features almost all of the classic Monty Python musical numbers from their albums and soundtracks. It also features six previously unreleased songs scattered throughout the album. A deluxe edition was also released which also includes the British comedy troupe's debut live sketch album, "Monty Python's Flying Circus." To find out more about "Monty Python's Total Rubbish" box set, please visit montypythononlinestore.com and for more information on "Monty Python Sings... Again," please visit montypythonlive.com.
But, within such misery lies some of the most amazing, meaningful albums that the Smashing Pumpkins ever produced. They left their buzzing rock guitars behind, exploring a different side to their songwriting, creating sweeping folk ballads and controlled electronic chaos. Corgan especially was dealing with a lot of difficult subjects during the recording of "Adore." The loss of his mother is felt in the emotional piano ballad "For Martha" and the defensive club beat of "Ava Adore" showcases Corgan working through his recent divorce. At times the album feels all over the place, but on the recent six CD/DVD box set released by the Universal Music Group, we finally get an inside look into the creation of this misinterpreted album.
The first two discs in the set features a remastered stereo version of the album and for the first time a remastered mono version of the album. But, fans will want to sink their teeth into the third disc "In A State Of Passage," which contains eighteen demos recorded at Corgan's home studio "Sadlands" and includes the CRC demo. It shows Corgan at his most intimate with acoustic renditions of "Christmastime" and "The Tale Of Pistol Pete" and also has the Pumpkins' testing out the electronic beats on "The Love Of Guns Disastrous." The disc ends with a fuller version of "Blessed And Gone" sandwiched between a couple of attempts at "For Martha."
The fourth and fifth discs bring together outtakes from the recording along with hard to find remixes and some newly created "reimagined" versions to some of the songs from the album. Some of the highlights include a remixed version of "Crestfallen" done by Matt Walker and another remix by Puffy Combs for "Ava Adore" done in 1998. A 2014 version of "Eye" gets overproduced, while the instrumental of "It's Alright" sounds timeless as you feel the passion in the music. The Rick Rubin produced "Let Me Give The World To You" is a must hear as he brings out the best of the Pumpkins' sound in 1998. Amongst all the dark tones a light is found in the instrumental sounds of "Summer." Disc five closes appropriately with the slow-moving feel of "The Beginning Is The End Is The Beginning."
The sixth disc and the DVD go hand in hand as they feature some of the best of the Smashing Pumpkins live in 1998. The CD collects 10 live tracks from the band's 36-date tour in support of the "Adore" album, while the DVD features the Pumpkins' tour kick-off at the Fox Theater in Atlanta, GA on August 4, 1998. The show includes many songs off the newly released album and a few left-overs from the previous multi-platinum release "Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness." The box set also includes a full color booklet with new liner notes provided by David Wild and descriptions of each song as well as lyrics and pictures of the band. The box set was released on September 23rd. To find out more about this amazing new set, please visit smashingpumpkinsnexus.com.

We present the results of an approximately 6 100 deg2 104–196 MHz radio sky survey performed with the Murchison Widefield Array during instrument commissioning between 2012 September and 2012 December: the MWACS. The data were taken as meridian drift scans with two different 32-antenna sub-arrays that were available during the commissioning period. The survey covers approximately 20.5 h < RA < 8.5 h, − 58° < Dec < −14°over three frequency bands centred on 119, 150 and 180 MHz, with image resolutions of 6–3 arcmin. The catalogue has 3 arcmin angular resolution and a typical noise level of 40 mJy beam− 1, with reduced sensitivity near the field boundaries and bright sources. We describe the data reduction strategy, based upon mosaicked snapshots, flux density calibration, and source-finding method. We present a catalogue of flux density and spectral index measurements for 14 110 sources, extracted from the mosaic, 1 247 of which are sub-components of complexes of sources.
Significant new opportunities for astrophysics and cosmology have been identified at low radio frequencies. The Murchison Widefield Array is the first telescope in the southern hemisphere designed specifically to explore the low-frequency astronomical sky between 80 and 300 MHz with arcminute angular resolution and high survey efficiency. The telescope will enable new advances along four key science themes, including searching for redshifted 21-cm emission from the EoR in the early Universe; Galactic and extragalactic all-sky southern hemisphere surveys; time-domain astrophysics; and solar, heliospheric, and ionospheric science and space weather. The Murchison Widefield Array is located in Western Australia at the site of the planned Square Kilometre Array (SKA) low-band telescope and is the only low-frequency SKA precursor facility. In this paper, we review the performance properties of the Murchison Widefield Array and describe its primary scientific objectives.

Ploidy level of genome
Interactive competition can select the ploidy level as a genetic code for sexual reproduction
So far we have seen that the population dynamic feed-back of interactive competition is selecting for sexual reproduction in multicellular animals. Irrespectively of the size of the interacting unit we found selection for a pair-wise form of sexual reproduction where one half of the genome in the offspring is provided by the mother, and the other half by the father.
While different genetic codes for this sharing can be imagined, the diploid genome, where the female and the male supplies a copy of all the genes in the offspring, is maybe the best solution to avoid selection conflicts to emerge between the genes of the parents. This ploidy level is reflecting the fitness quality of the male, in the sense that the interactive competition of the male is essential for the numerical replication of the genome in the female. We may thus expect that the ploidy level can evolve if the fitness role of the male is changing.
This is likely to be the case in eusocial species, where the direct interactive quality of the male is irrelevant compared with the joint interactive quality of all the offspring workers. The indirect heritable component of the males competitive quality, however, is still needed as it is being selected, by the interactive competition between colonies, to be transferred by sexual reproduction to the offspring workers of the colony.
If the energetics of the sexual male is irrelevant to the colony, he is needed only for mating, as it is the case in eusocial hymenoptera. The two-fold cost of the male is then selecting for a male-haploid female-diploid genome (Fig. 1, right; Witting, 1997, 2007). A symmetrical selection for the diploid genome is instead being maintained if the energetics of the male is essential (Fig. 1, left), and the sexual male and female are forming a lasting bond as in eusocial (and diploid) termites.

text: Entertainment TV Teresa Giudice vs. Victoria Gotti: New 'Celebrity Apprentice' Cast Revealed Confirmed contestants also include Debbie Gibson, Dayana Mendoza, Penn Jillette and Dee Snider By Tim Nudd Published on January 4, 2012 09:45 AM Share Tweet Pin Email Photo: Mitchell Haaseth/NBC (2) Would Teresa Giudice have the guts to flip a table on Victoria Gotti? Can supermodel Cheryl Tiegs outlast former Miss Universe Dayana Mendoza, who is four decades her junior? Who'll face the music first – Clay Aiken or Debbie Gibson? Those are just a few of the mouth-watering matchups expected on the upcoming season of Celebrity Apprentice, premiering Feb. 12 on NBC. PEOPLE confirmed several of the contestants back in October, but the cast was officially revealed Wednesday. "I just think we have a major group of celebrities, and we have a very iconic group," says the show's host, Donald Trump. "This is the best cast we've ever had, the biggest cast, and it's going to be special." Teresa Giudice's Husband Joe Giudice Indicted on Fake ID Charges Rounding out the group of 18 are former Incredible Hulk Lou Ferrigno, singers Aubrey O'Day and Tia Carrere, model Patricia Velasquez, comedians Lisa Lampanelli, Arsenio Hall and Adam Carolla, George Takei (Star Trek), magician Penn Jillette, Paul Teutul Sr. (American Chopper), racecar driver Michael Andretti and rocker Dee Snider. "We've never seen such a smart and funny group as this year's lineup of celebrities," executive producer Mark Burnett said of the upcoming season. Trump joked on Wednesday's Today show that, in light of her background (her father was Mob boss John Gotti), it might be difficult telling Victoria Gotti, "You're fired!"

We've all been there. It's time to take a trip with your dog and you never know exactly what to pack. Is it too much? Too little? Will my dog be happy enough with what I brought? That's why I am here to help. Here are the essentials you will need while traveling with your dog that won't overload your baggage.
1. Dog Waste Bags are numero uno. You don't want to be that dog owner who runs out of bags. I've waited on the sidewalk, hovering over my dog's business, while my friend had to run into the nearest convenience store begging for a plastic bag. These bags are perfect by Harry Barker. They are made of recycled plastic, are biodegradable and clip onto your leash for convenience! Cute, light and easy to grab once your dog goes!
2. Travel Bag. This bag by Love Thy Beast is amazing because it's not cumbersome. It's made of cotton duck canvas and topstitched for extra durability. Your dog will have a nice place to show his head and then you have two pockets on the side to hold treats, toys, leashes, etc. There is also a collar-to-leash attachment and a removable sturdy foot pad. The bag is also machine washable – SCORE!
3. Collapsible Travel Bowl. This is something that you should always keep handy. These travel bowls by Prima Pets are perfect to feed your dog while on a trip to the park, a friend's house, a long walk, etc. You can fill it with your dog's kibble or pour some water in it for a quick water dish. Once you're done, go ahead and collapse it and then clip onto belt loop, the leash or collar for easy storage.
4. Updated ID tags / Custom Collar. This is especially important if you are traveling out of state. Your dog may know the route home, but when you're in a new environment, things could get weird! L.L. Bean is known for personalizing items, I'm sure your dog would appreciate it!
5. Treats, duh! You should always have some treats with you so you can let your pup know when they are doing a great job. It's always great for reinforcement…and for spoiling!! These peanut butter flavored treats are the best because they are small and portable (plus they are grain free and super delicious!)
6. A Durable Toy. If you want to entertain your dog, a rubber toy will keep them very occupied. This one by Martha Stewart Pets is great because your dog can chew on it after you toss it and he fetches! Triple whammy! As an added bonus, you can always throw some treats in the hollow middle to stimulate your dog's brain!
7. Pet First Aid Kit. If you are traveling to a new area that you're not familiar with yet, a small First Aid Kit is key, just like this one by Survival Frog! If your pup gets a sting, scratch, or splinter – your handy dandy first aid kit will be able to get them back on the right track until you can find the closest vet.
As long as you remember these essentials, traveling with your pup will be paws-itively seamless!

A well-known Portsmouth criminal defense lawyer is accused of assaulting a female deputy working at the courthouse.
Sterling Weaver was indicted Feb. 6 on a charge of misdemeanor sexual battery and felony assault and battery of a law enforcement officer, reports The Virginian-Pilot.
The alleged assault took place at the Portsmouth Courthouse on Oct. 25, according to the Pilot. Weaver turned himself in to detectives in Portsmouth last night.
A special prosecutor from the Norfolk Commonwealth's Attorney's Office will handle the case.
In 2006, Weaver was found guilty in general district court after allegedly grabbing the throat of a Chesapeake prosecutor. The case was later dismissed in circuit court.

Travel the world in steampunk style
Replay value is a major criterion for any game that wishes to be successful. While most console games offer multiplayer options, even those quickly feel old and stale without constant updating.
The real challenge with replayability is in the design of the experience itself — "80 Days," for example. You play as valet (like a butler) to Phileas Fogg, an English adventurer living in steampunk-soaked 1872 London. The two of you must travel around the world in 80 days in order to win a bet, utilizing all manner of steampunk transportation (automaton carriages, submersibles, floating fortresses) to make it.
However, apart from choosing your route through one of 144 cities, you shape the story yourself as it progresses, choosing what your character says and does from a number of options. This gives the game nearly unlimited replayability, due to not only the size of the map and the combinations of route you can take, but also the different story options you can trigger at any point in your journey. As such, you can be steaming to Marrakesh when suddenly a mysterious woman asks you to convey a package to Minsk for a hefty sum, and you must decide if it is worth the time.
The Look
Perhaps to accommodate for the variability in story options, the visuals are somewhat lackluster. Rendered in a minimalist comic book style, the pictures are interesting and varied, but ultimately more of your attention is focused on the clock and the story than on its visual representation.
The Experience
The game begins in London, usually with a single route to Paris (via submarine train). From there, however, your route opens up to you and within minutes you are hunched over your device, taking in the game's blend of story and strategy (what to pack, what route to take, etc.). Soon you find yourself aboard a dirigible, high over Mongolia, embroiled in a murder-mystery that you must solve before you land in Hong Kong and begin the next leg of your journey.
You ponder your responses carefully before selecting one, as one misstep will change the story and perhaps force you off your carefully chosen route. However many times you play it through, the experience toward the climax is always the same: an extremely satisfying hour spent watching your progress across the globe, praying you can catch that rocket from New York to London to make it just under the 80 days.
The Content
There is very little questionable material in "80 Days." While there is some alcohol use and innuendo, it is veiled in Victorian sensibility, leading more to chuckles and dictionaries than scandalous gasps.

"80 Days"
An innovative choose your own adventure game based on the classic Jules Verne story, "80 Days" promises countless hours of immersive enjoyment. Available in the app store for $4.99.

Happened to catch HBO's documentary film, The Nine Lives of Marion Barry, last night. I thought it might be mildly interesting, but it was transfixing. Following then-Washington D.C. Mayor Barry's descent into alcholism, drug abuse, and womanizing is a wild journey. And every rung lower he stooped he took his city right along with him.
What was most striking about the way it was perceived was the way white voters hated him (for damn good reason) and black voters just kept coming to his defense, saving him. Even when he was caught smoking crack by the feds on videotape and did a stint in prison, the voters kept putting him back in office. Just a few years ago he tested positive for cocaine again and yet he remains an elected city councilman.
And I kept thinking of Josephus Eggelletion as I watched it. This is a county commissioner who has been caught misuing his county-issued credit card, taking money from companies that do business with the county, and secretly lobbying for developers. None of it seems to register in his district. Most recently a developer of a controversial housing project that he voted for delivered more than $10,000 in cash to the Parkland Golf & Country Club for his membership.
His district reacts, literally, with cheers. Eggelletion even had a child with a former student of his at Dillard High School. The student, Angelita Sanders, convincingly tells the story of how the long-married Eggelletion first seduced her when she was a teenaged[jump]
student of his and took him to a secret bachelor's pad, beginning a years-long adulterous affair.
I thought that would knock him out of favor (if not into jail) even in the black community. Forget about it. The guy is still celebrated in black churches. And don't think it's because he's some great politician or champion for the people. He's a lackluster public official who spends more time on the golf course than with the people.
Now people may want to believe this kind of blind voters' allegiance occurs only in the black community, but that's not so. All you need to do is look at Stacy Ritter's support in the heavily Jewish condos of central Broward County. (Wow, a two-for-one on offending racial/ethnic groups). She has become "like a daughter" to a lot of them, so when she pulls corrupt insider deals with her unscrupulous lobbyist husband, they look the other way. When that same husband, Russ Klenet, hitches his wagon with a major-league con artist named Joel Steinger and Ritter votes on her own husband's legislation to protect the crook from regulators, the condo dwellers feign ignorance. I remember when I was telling Democratic activist (and profiteer) Norma Goldstein about Ritter's transgressions, she stopped me. "I don't want to hear!" she said and literally refused to listen.
The same can be said for any group or race. Look at the Daleys in Chicago for a bigger-than-life example. Go to a lot of small backwater towns in Kentucky and see what the townsfolk elect year after year in some of those places. Look at Miami's Cuban community, which has been rife with corrupt -- and popular -- politicians for decades. Present example: Miami Commissioner Angel Gonzalez, who was deeply steeped in an infamous mayoral fraud scandal in 1997. He was convicted of a felony, but that didn't stop him from winning office after he was implicated, an election journalist and author Ann Louise Bardach wrote in her 2002 book Cuba Confidential proved "the irrelevance of corruption in Miami."
Such misplaced allegiance is just a fact of politics and it shouldn't be forgotten that patronage always plays a role. But the blind loyalty is often more fervent in the black community, where it sometimes rises to a spiritual level. Remember, we're only seven generations away from slavery and a couple out from segregation, and the term "northwest" in Broward County is still code for "poor black neighborhoods." So the general us-versus-them mentality in the black community when it comes to politics is eminently understandable. But it's also frustrating to see shameless charlatans like Eggelletion profit from the misplaced sentiment.
I asked Elgin Jones, who works for the county's leading black newspaper, the South Florida Times, what it was like exposing Eggelletion over and over again and seeing him reelected all the same. Jones, a relentless investigator, has been in the churches and neighborhood meetings where Eggelletion has spoken and he says it's always the same.
"It's almost as if he's a movie star," Jones says. "When he shows up in some churches they are just happy to be in his presence. It's as if the world is picking on him and he's this great person who is working for the community, like a savior."
Jones says that when Eggelletion often opens his remarks, particularly when a scandal is still hot, with the same tired stance that boils down to: "They are coming after me because I'm black and they are picking on me."
The people cheer him when they hear this ridiculous argument.
"He's never challenged," says Jones. "Whether it's the church or a community meeting they won't challenge that idea because they will be ostracized on the spot if they speak up."
Group think at its worst. Jones says his work is appreciated in the black community, only people rarely praise him publicly. They pull him aside privately where no one will hear.
"I get some resentment, but most black folks will take you aside and thank you for bringing the truth to light," he says. "But obviously that hasn't translated to the ballot box."
That's got to get tiresome.
"I just say, 'Here are the facts, here's what happened,'" he says. "I report on it. I'm not dismayed by the outcome. Because I don't think that's my role. My role is to expose and report the truth and the facts."
There are a lot of rumors afloat about an impending fall for Eggelletion. He's under state investigation and there's talk of federal involvement. But if Marion Barry's story teaches us anything, even an indictment might not be enough to stop the community that support Joe from electing him again and again.

What is a Thesis Statement?
A thesis statement can be referred to as a brief summary of the main points or ideas in research or normal essays. The statement as a catalyst to generate the interest of the audience to continue reading. A good thesis statement identifies the topic of discussion and is placed just after the introduction paragraph of an essay. It is important to determine the kind of paper one is writing to craft the best thesis statement. Thesis statements are typically required for but not limited to expository, analytical, and argumentative essays.
Contents of a Strong Thesis Statement
- It should make a debatable claim.
A strong thesis statement should evoke the audience to think or form an opinion for or against the statement. If the thesis statement contains something that is generally accepted, then there is no basis for persuasion or formation of an argument. Below is an example of a non-debatable statement;
- All car engines pollute the environment.
To begin with, the word "pollution" refers to substances that harm the environment. Additionally, it is in the public domain that both hybrids or fully electric cars emit CO2 either directly or indirectly. What is contended is rather the amount of carbon footprint emitted by each technology. Below is an example of a debatable thesis statement;
- As much as electric vehicles are deemed eco-friendly, their life cycle emits a higher carbon footprint, just like conventional vehicles.
You may have already formed your objections by reading the above example. Firstly, one may want to see the scientific evidence that resulted in this conclusion. Secondly, one could argue that convectional cars are the ones that pollute the environment more. Another could say that the carbon footprint should only be calculated from when a vehicle becomes operational as opposed to totaling all the pollution activities that are involved in the making of electric cars.
- It should relay your interpretation or argument concerning the subject matter. For example;
- While many argue that the legalization of medicinal marijuana will be beneficial in the health sector, its legalization will only create channels for its exploitation and abuse.
From the above statement, it is clear that the writer does not support the legalization of marijuana for medical or recreational purposes.
- If the writer does not take any sides as illustrated on the first and second points, at least two or three competing variables should be given.
This scenario mostly occurs when the writer adopts a third-person point of view. However, by including competing ideas, the readers' mind is still evoked even with the writer not disclosing their stand regarding the essay. For example;
- An engagement with Kenya's finest athletes reveals one challenging dilemma they face: changing citizenship and getting better pay in developed countries or remaining home and being treasured national heroes.
- It should highlight the general contents of the paper.
From the above example, the paper should delve into contrasting;
- The benefits or implications that come with relocating and gaining citizenship from a developed country.
- The satisfaction and other benefits that the athletes reap from retaining citizenship and representing their home country internationally.
- Make it a single sentence.
The intention is for it to possess some title/heading like attribute i.e., concise as opposed to looking like another paragraph on the paper. However, if the whole idea is not captured by one sentence, one can opt for two or three.
- It should offer some specificity.
Below is an example of a vague thesis statement;
- Electric vehicles are good.
Such a statement is too broad and vague. It is not clear whether the "good" is on the side of the manufacturer, the buyer, or even the performance of the vehicle. On the side of the manufacturer, the "goodness" could be derived from the vehicles' selling price being higher than the conventional ones thus creating more profit, it could be the accessibility of raw materials, it could be the reduction of time spent in the production of a single unit, etc. On the other hand, on the side of the buyer or the vehicle itself could be the comfortability levels, fuel consumption, performance, eco-friendliness, durability, maintenance cost, etc. Below is an example of a narrowed thesis statement;
- Electric engines are a better alternative to gasoline-powered engines since their fuel consumption, emission, and maintenance benefits outweigh the conventional car by far.
Note that the above examples give the reason why electric cars are better than conventional vehicles. You should avoid using general terms such as "good," "okay," etc.
- Your thesis statement should cover what you have written on the paper.
You need to reflect upon the statement once done with the paper and adjust it accordingly.
