humor - Ski Trip

.....John decided to go skiing with his buddy, Keith.  So they loaded up John' s minivan and headed north.   

After driving for a few hours, they got caught in a terrible blizzard.  So they pulled into a nearby farm and asked the attractive lady who answered the door if they could spend the night.   

.....'I realize it's terrible weather out there and I have this huge house all to myself, but I'm recently widowed,' she explained.'  I'm afraid the neighbors will talk if I let you stay in my house.'   

.....'Don't worry,' John said.'  We'll be happy to sleep in the barn.  And if the weather breaks, we'll be gone at first light.'  The lady agreed, and the two men found their way to the barn and settled in for the night.   

.....Come morning, the weather had cleared, and they got on their way.   

.....They enjoyed a great weekend of skiing. 

.....But about nine months later, John got an unexpected letter from an attorney.  It took him a few minutes to figure it out, but he finally determined that it was from the attorney of that attractive widow he had met on the ski weekend.   

.....He dropped in on his friend Keith and asked, 'Keith, do you remember that good-looking widow from the farm we stayed at on our ski holiday up north about 9 months ago?' 

.....'Yes, I do.'  Said Keith. 

.....'Did you, er, happen to get up in the middle of the night, go up to the house and pay her a visit?'   

.....'Well, um, yes!,' Keith said, a little embarrassed about being found out, 'I have to admit that I did.'   

.....'And did you happen to give her my name instead of telling her your name?' 

.....Keith's face turned beet red and he said, 

.....'Yeah, look, I'm sorry, buddy.  I'm afraid I did.'

.....'Why do you ask?'   

.....'She just died and left me everything.' 

.....And you thought the ending would be different, didn't you?

ISIS books & manuscripts burning

 

From: kd Sent: Monday, February 23, 2015 Subject: ISIS book burning

ISIS Burns 8000 Rare Books and Manuscripts in Mosul - While the world was watching the Academy Awards ceremony, the people of Mosul were watching a different show.  They were horrified to see ISIS members burn the Mosul public library.  Notables in Mosul tried to persuade ISIS members to spare the library, but they failed.  http://www.ibtimes.co.in/isis-burns-down-mosul-library-destroys-8000-rare-books-manuscripts-624375:  Islamic state (Isis) militants reportedly burned down the Mosul library and destroyed 8,000 rare books and manuscripts on Monday. "ISIS militants bombed the Mosul Public Library.  They used improvised explosive devices,"said Ghanim al-Ta'an, the director of the library.  Local reports noted that the Islamic State militants refused to spare the library even after several elderly people in Mosul town pleaded them to.  Isis militants rigged the whole building with explosives and carried out multiple detonations to raze the historical landmark.  The Mosul library was established in 1921 and was seen as a symbol of the birth of modern Iraq.  Mosul residents claim that Isis burned down and destroyed several Syriac books that were printed in Iraq in the nineteenth century in the country's first printing house.  The fire also destroyed dozens of eighteenth century manuscripts and antiques belonging to the ancient Arabs.  The Mosul library was partially destroyed during the US invasion in 2003.  However, over the years the wealthy patrons bought back several of the stolen books and manuscripts and restored the library to its past glory.  Isis, after taking over large swathes of land in Syria and Iraq, has destroyed dozens of historical monuments such as churches, ancients statues, and Shia tombs claiming they were unislamic.

GenYES has continued to evolve and is now become an essential technology integration strategy. Teachers, administrators, and IT staff can no longer provide all the necessary tech support and are looking at their students to take on substantial responsibility.    Now is the time to plan your GenYES program for 2015-16. If you need support in any of the areas listed below, call us and we can discuss your needs and how we can help you leverage the energy and expertise of your students to meet your goals. Also, depending on your past history with GenYES, substantial discounts or free access is available.   Forward,   Dennis Harper, Ph.D.  Founder and CEO of the Nonprofit Generation YES Organization 888-941-4369 Toll Free 360-528-2346 Direct dennis@genyes.org http://genyes.org 1.

One to One Deployment, Maintenance, and Integration When hundreds and even thousands of laptops and tablets come into a K-12 school, it is imperative that teams of GenYES students help support and drive learning on these devices.

The TechYES platform provides a comprehensive set of project based tools aligned to the ISTE Standards for Students.

STLs help their teachers and peers produce these projects and asses them when they are completed.  6. STEM Support STEM learning requires students to create projects and artifacts. STLs can help teachers and peers with this process.  7. Digital Citizenship and Child Safety Students learn about these important issues by researching and creating multimedia projects with support coming from STLs. Curriculum includes: online personal safety, computer safety and security, and copyright/citations issues. 8.

o'humor - A Tale of the Sea

 

From: bham Sent: Monday, February 02, 2015 Subject: A Tale of the Sea

 

There's an old sea story about a ship's Captain who inspected his sailors, and afterward told the first mate that all his men smelled bad from body odor...   The Captain suggested perhaps it would help if the sailors would change underwear occasionally.  The first mate responded, "Aye, aye sir, I'll see to it immediately!"   The first mate went straight to the sailors berth deck and announced, "The Captain thinks you guys smell bad and wants you to change your underwear."   He continued, "Pittman, you change with Jones, McCarthy, you change with Witkowski, and Brown, you change with Schultz."   THE MORAL OF THE STORY: Someone may come along and promise "Change", But don't count on things smelling any better. I THINK YOU WILL FORWARD THIS!!!!!
