3. Một số kiến nghị với Bộ Giáo dục và Đào tạo
- Đề nghị Bộ Giáo dục và Đào tạo gửi phần mềm quản lý thi tốt nghiệp THPT sớm (ngay đầu tháng 4/2012) để các đơn vị kịp thời triển khai tập huấn, tránh những sai sót về dữ liệu thi.
- Các năm học trước Bộ Giáo dục và Đào tạo đã có công văn cho phép tính diện ưu tiên đối với những học sinh cư trú và học tập tại xã khó khăn, nhưng trong Quy chế 10 chỉ được tính đối với học sinh cư trú và học tập tại vùng cao, vùng sâu, hải đảo, khu kinh tế mới và xã đặc biệt khó khăn, xã biên giới, xã an toàn khu thuộc diện đầu tư của chương trình 135 giai đoạn II; như vậy học sinh được tính diện ưu tiên sẽ bị hạn chế rất nhiều. Đề nghị Bộ Giáo dục và Đào tạo xem xét lại./.

ASSISTANT COACH TRAINING PACKET

ASSISTANT COACH TRAINING PACKET


Thank you so much for your willingness to make a difference in the lives of children by helping out with Sports Camp 20--.



Check-in & Checkout

-    Make sure when campers arrive at your sport that they each have a name tag with your sport and their group listed on it. If they don’t, it means they may not have signed in, or may not have signed a waiver. An assistant coach must return with them to the registration table to get a name tag. Check each night for name tags.

-    Assistant coaches will be responsible for checking children out and dismissing them from camp each night. Campers do not leave until they are checked out by the assistant coach. (On Family Night, they will be checked out before going to team-building.)



Safety and First Aid

-    Once campers arrive at your sport each night, they are not to leave your area without an assistant coach accompanying them. This means campers need to be escorted to and from the registration table, refreshments, team-building, water breaks, etc. If a camper gets hurt, escort him or her to the church lobby (registration table) for first aid assistance. If it is urgent, use a head coach’s cell phone to call our camp nurse (###-####). If it is an emergency, dial 911, and then call the camp nurse and the camp director (###-####).



Family Night

-    On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, pass out flyers and remind campers to invite their parents to come out for Family Night on Thursday.

-    On Thursday night, the campers will warm up/stretch and then demonstrate to their parents what they have learned that week. After they do their cool down/stretch and are checked out, you will lead them to team-building. This time they will be in one big group, along with their parents. This is when we will present awards. You must check them out before leading them to team-building because the campers will not return to your sport again. (If any of the campers do not have a parent there, you will need to keep track of that child during Family Night, until their parent arrives and can sign them out.)

-     After team-building is over, everyone, including workers, campers, and parents will head to the fellowship hall for an ice cream social where the camp highlight video will play while they eat ice cream. Once people are finished eating their ice cream, they are free to leave.



General Guidelines

-    Pray, pray, pray for workers and campers. Pray for safety and salvation.

-    Keep a wristwatch or other timepiece with you and stay on schedule!

-    Remember that this camp is an outreach. Most of the campers will not be church members, so please be Christ-like in all of your actions and attitudes as you relate to campers, their parents, and other coaches. Make sure you encourage them to come back to church. Mostly, make sure they have fun while learning a little about their sport and about Jesus!

-    Make campers feel welcome. Encourage them to invite their friends and families to come the next night and to Family Night.

-    Each night, encourage campers to come back and bring their friends.

-    Each night you will be responsible for helping your head coach choose one (or two if you cannot decide) camper who best demonstrated the theme for that night. We will provide certificates for you to give to these campers at the end of the night.
               
NIGHTLY THEMES:
Monday: All-Star Attitude
Tuesday: Hustle Hero
Wednesday: Terrific Teamwork
Thursday: Fantastic Finisher (everyone will receive a certificate)

-    Remember that you will have a different number of campers each night because new kids will show up and some will switch sports.

-    Cell phones will be for head coaches only. Please help us enforce this with your youth helpers. Head coaches are permitted to use cell phones only for urgent matters related to Sports Camp.





Station Location

Check-in & Checkout

-    Make sure when campers arrive at your sport that they each have a name tag with your sport and their group listed on it. If they don’t, it means they may not have signed in, or may not have signed a waiver. Send one of your assistant coaches back with them to the registration table to get a name tag.

This means that you will need to have your cell phone with you each night.

-    Give your campers plenty of water breaks each night. All sports will have coolers and cups (or water fountains) nearby.

-    Make sure to include a proper warm up/stretch and cool down/stretch period for the campers each night.



Family Night

-    On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, pass out flyers and remind campers to invite their parents to come out for Family Night on Thursday.

-    On Thursday night, the campers will warm up/stretch, and then you will lead them in some sort of exhibition where they will demonstrate to their parents what they have learned that week. This can be a game/scrimmage format or a skills demonstration. You will lead them in a cool down/stretch time, check them out, and send them to team-building. This time they will be in one big group, along with their parents. This is when we will present awards. You must check them out before they go to team-building because the campers will not return to your sport again.

-     Each night, encourage campers to come back and bring their friends.

-     Remember that you are responsible for gathering up/borrowing the equipment for your sport. If you need help with that, let the camp director know. (We can ask the other coaches if they have any at home; some equipment may be at the church.)

-     During each of the four skill sets, teach the campers a different skill. (Try to cover the basics of your sport.) Remember to keep it age-appropriate. You may want to divide the campers into age groups within your sport since we have such a broad span of ages and skill levels.

-    During competition time, make sure you have planned an age-appropriate game or competition for your campers.

-    You are responsible for setting up, taking down, and cleaning up your area each night.

-    Each night you will be responsible for choosing one (or two if you cannot decide) camper who best demonstrated the theme for that night. We will provide certificates for you to give to these campers at the end of the night.

We all make mistakes sometimes, when it comes to making mistakes there are always consecutions to your actions. But does it all depend on age? A new hot topic is life to prison without parole. Pennsylvania is leading state with life without parole for juveniles. Now many people have different opinions about this topic.
In my view being 18 and all, I believe that it is not fair for 13 teens and 14 teen years old, as I said before everyone makes mistakes and the age of these criminals there just little kids. They may know what right and wrong but I believe that they don’t know the consequences of their actions. The 8th amendment states cruel and unusual punishment. Many have told me that they believe that courts go around this amendment because they see all the evidence and want the family’s to get revenge and know it be unfair to not give them a full punishment. I believe that a certain age that the court would be allowed to step in is about 17. Letting a juvenile spend the rest of their life is unfair. They mine as well get the death penalty.
Some alternative punishments could be 10-year sentence and maybe a retrial, or depending on how bad the case is. I believe that the U.S is wrong for having given such critical punishments. They need a better and stricter rule about minors committing terrible crimes.


How to Choose a Proper Headphone

How to Choose a Proper Headphone

How to Choose a Proper Headphone
There are so many headphone and headset in the market, which one is supposed to be choosen, there are some guides about how to choose a good headphone.

Earbuds are best for people who are short on space, but still want a way to listen to their music. The higher-quality earbuds, like from Sennheiser or Ultimate Ears, usually come with little cases to put your earbuds in when you're not using them, so they won't get ruined or dirty at the bottom of your bag. If you keep a very small purse and want to keep your iPod Nano and earbuds together in it, or you're a guy with limited pocket space, earbuds are probably a better choice. They're also great if you are on a limited budget, because there's a lot more to choose from and they tend to cost less. Cheaper earbuds often run into problems like falling out of ears, hurting ears, or simply making dents in them from the cheap plastic. With higher prices (but still low-end in terms of quality) ranging from $25-50, you'll get more comfortable 'buds, and they are well-worth the money you spend. However, if you're an audiophile, you should consider other options. A pair of buds from Sennheiser (like the CX 500, $130), Shure (SE 115, $120), EtyMotic Research (HF5, $150), or even Ultimate Ears (minimum Super.fi 4) will be preferable.

Headphones are great if you enjoy putting them around your neck while you're walking from one place to another, or if you just carry your headphones that way. Headphones are great if you enjoy putting them around your neck while you're walking from one place to another, or if you just carry your headphones that way. You also tend to get beefier cords and fun options like wireless/bluetooth headphones. The drawback is that good headphones within your budget might be hard to find. They take up more space than earbuds, and the DJ-style headphones take up a ridiculous amount of space if you don't carry around a larger bag. They also are easy to get dirty because most don't come with cases for them.

Durability and Warranty

The reason we buy new headphones so often is because the old ones often break or get somehow destroyed. When you get to the store, see how durable each pair of headphones feel—if it feels cheap, it probably is, and might not last you as long as you'd like.



More than that, though, check and see what the warranty is like. A lot of headphones will come with warranties for a year or two, which is really nice if you find that your headphones break. It might not influence your decision, but it's something you'll definitely want to be aware of—I once threw away a $100 pair of headphones less than a year after I got them because the cord frayed into oblivion, not realizing Bose had a great warranty service on them. Don't make that mistake!

Comfort

When you try the headphones on, leave them on for awhile—15 minutes if you can, even longer if you're able—because how they feel within the first five minutes and how they feel later will be quite different. A lot of headphones can feel fine when you put them on, but will make your ears hurt after awhile. Sadly you can't sit in the store for two hours with them on your head, but you should be able to get a pretty good idea of how well they fit by wearing them for a little while.

Sound

Lastly, you'll want to test the most important feature: how they sound. We've shared a few tips for this before, but they're worth noting again. Throw some of the Eminent speaker sound tests on your MP3 player before you head out. They'll play certain frequencies that you can match with a description of what they should sound like (e.g., "Pink noise" should sound like rain on a rooftop). If they don't match their descriptions, you probably want to pass on that pair of headphones.

Next, listen to old music. Even if you don't usually listen to music from the 70s, listen to it in the store, as it's usually a better indicator of the headphone's range of sound. Modern music is usually compressed to heck, and older music will help you better test the frequency response. Classical music is even better, since it has so many different instruments that will really show you the range of the headphones.

Godfrey and Nancy Cass haven't had children- but Godfrey wanted them so much. They went to look at some of the fields near the old quarry every evening, and he saw Eppie sometimes. At the first moment Godfrey spoke adopting Eppie, he was relented.
Unlike Godfrey and Nancy, Silas and Eppie was sitting outside their door in the sunshine. Silas told to Eppie how her mother had died in the snow, and he had given her the dead woman's wedding ring. After that Eppie told her father that Aaron was talking to her about marriage. At night Silas want to speak with Dolly Winthrop (Aaron's Mother) about their marriage.

Chapter 9
Godfrey Confesses at last
The villagers were found Dunstan's body with Silas's gold when the quarry has suddenly gone dry. Then Godfrey had to confess the truth to Nancy. He told her, the dead woman that Silas found many years ago was his wife and Eppie is his girl. He married with Molly and he was afraid if he told the truth, Nancy didn't want to get married with him. At first Nancy was angry, but she advised him to adopt Eppie. At the end Godfrey decided to talk about this with Silas tonight.
