General:
The Saffa Girls School in Ramallah Governorate, West Bank, is one of 57 schools that USAID provided training to teachers and administrators through the Model School Network Program - a five-year initiative focused on developing a network of best practices for schools that would serve as a model for improving the quality of basic education in the West Bank. The project focused on the professional development of teachers and administrators, particularly in the areas of English, math, science, and information technology (IT). The school now has a thriving sports program and is providing healthier meals to its students to improve learning. The Saffa Girls School is also one of nine girlsâ schools (and one of 36 overall schools) that USAID is constructing or rehabilitating through the Local Government and Infrastructure Program - a five-year project designed to promote better local governance and provide basic community infrastructure necessary for improving the quality of life of Palestinians. The school has now 28 rehabilitated classrooms, computer and science lab, and library and resource center.
In the West Bank, girls are thriving in the classroom. Since 2000, USAID has constructed nearly 3,000 classrooms and renovated 2,700 moreâallowing many schools to cut class size and eliminate the need for students to learn in shifts. USAID not only invests in improving the physical conditions of schools and classrooms aiming to improve the learning environment, it also works through programs that improve teaching methodologies and introduce contemporary approaches to teaching and learning strategies, providing more learning opportunities for students.

Fifth Graders play [OR INSERT ACTION] at the Saffa Girls School in Ramallah Governorate, West Bank -- one of 93 schools that USAID helps renovate and provide training to teachers and administrators through the Model School Network and the Local Government and Infrastructure Programs. The Model School Network Program is a five-year initiative - implemented by AMIDEAST - that focused on replicating best practices to improve the quality of basic education (grades 1-9) in the West Bank and Gaza. The project focused on the professional development of teachers and administrators, particularly in the areas of English, math, science and information technology (IT). The program is implemented in 40 public and 17 private schools in the West Bank and Gaza. The Local Government and Infrastructure Program is a five-year initiative - implemented by Global Communities - designed to promote better local governance and provide the basic community infrastructure necessary for improving the quality of life for Palestinians. Through LGI, USAID has undertaken approximately 200 infrastructure projects for schools, health clinics, community centers, youth clubs, and roads, benefiting almost one million Palestinians.

Abeer Ali Badran, 36, is the principal at the model Saffa Girls School in the West Bank. With USAID support, she and the schoolâs teachers received training in school leadership and teaching in the areas of English, math, science and IT. USAID also helped renovate the school to provide a better learning environment for its 538 students, grades 1-12, including providing internet and computers. Abeer Badran says that one of the schoolsâ main challenges is retaining students after the 10th grade, when it is common to lose female students to early marriage.
Quote: âUsually when a woman is principal the school gets better results.â

Dama Karaja is a 12th-grade student at the USAID-supported Saffa Girls School in Ramallah Governorate, West Bank. Saffa is one of 93 schools that USAID helped to renovate and provided training to teachers and administrators through the MSN and LGI projects. Dama wants to continue her education to become an engineer, but she is worried about the cost. Although she is finishing her education, she says that some of her female colleagues dropped out due to early marriage. âI think its very important to educate yourself because you can realize your dream,â she says.
Background on Saffa Girls school we visited:
USAID supported the Saffa Girls school by improving the physical conditions of the school and providing a better learning environment (rehabilitation work through implementing partner Global Communities) and providing training for the teachers and administrators (through implementing partner AMIDEAST) .
The Model School Network Program is a five-year initiative - implemented by AMIDEAST - that focused on replicating best practices to improve the quality of basic education (grades 1-9) in the West Bank and Gaza. The project focused on the professional development of teachers and administrators, particularly in the areas of English, math, science and information technology (IT). The program was implemented in 40 public and 17 private schools in the West Bank and Gaza.
The program introduced a student-centered, contemporary approach to teaching and learning within a network of 57 private and public schools in the West Bank and Gaza. Saffa Girls School was one of the 57 schools under the MSN Program. The program focused on the professional development of teachers and administrators at the model schools, particularly in the areas of English, math, science, and IT.
Professional networking, an annual, national and regional conference, and local peer-to-peer exchanges were also important features. Schools worked with parent-teacher associations, engaged in an after-school youth enrichment activities and students enjoyed summer English, math, and science camps.
These measures encouraged professional networking among schools and linkages between schools and their communities in order to foster âCommunities of Learningâ that best support childrenâs learning outcomes.
Math, English, science, and IT teachers of Saffa Girls School participated in the professional development program and received nine graduate credit hours.
This was an incentive to teachers and encouraged them to continue higher education studies at Palestinian universities. In addition, the school principal also participated in the one year Leadership Diploma Program. School facilities were renovated specifically the computer and science labs including furnishing and equipping and providing the school with internet connectivity. The school also received supplies such as library books and resource materials for teachers.
In addition, students were introduced to numerous extracurricular activities complementing classroom studies and engaging students in interactive learning experiences.
Saffa Girls School teaches grades 1 through 12. Saffa school has 538 students.
Through the MSN Program, Saffa Girls school received approximately $66,000. This amount doesnât include training costs.
Through the LGI Program, Saffa Girls school received $171,467 for rehabilitation works. Works included rehabilitation of 28 educational rooms in the three-floor school building. Internal works consisted of plastering, painting, and electrical works in addition to maintenance of tiles, doors, aluminum windows, and sanitary units. External works included construction of a canteen, boundary walls, drinking water fountain, and rehabilitation of the playground.
General
Through the LGI Program, USAID completed the construction of additional schools for, and general rehabilitation of three primary and three secondary girlsâ schools for a total value of $1.49 million benefiting itâs 1,781 students. Currently, LGI is constructing additional classrooms for two secondary girlsâ school at a total value of $1.37 benefiting its 463 students. In addition, USAID is in the process of awarding the construction of a secondary girlsâ school for a total value of $975,000 benefiting its 296 students. Through the LGI Program, USAID supports nine girls school benefiting its 2,540 students (out of a total of 36 schools supported).
Through the MSN program, USAID supported 24 girlsâ school benefiting more than its 14,000 students (out of a total of 57 schools supported).
USAID has additional education programs supporting girls education:
The School Support Program (SSP) is a four-year initiative that supports marginalized schools by upgrading classrooms and school facilities, enhancing the schoolsâ learning and teaching environment through teacher training and leadership for principals; and implementing extracurricular, career counseling, and sports activities. Through the School Support Program USAID supports 19 girlsâ schools benefiting more than its 8,000 students (out of a total 50 schools supported).
The Leadership and Teacher Development (LTD) Program is a student-based four-year initiative that improves the competencies of thousands of teachers and principals through a results-based approach to training and leadership development. Through the LTD Program USAID supports 122 girlsâ schools benefiting more than its 31,000 students (out of a total 232 schools supported).
Student performance in USAID-supported Palestinian schools in the West Bank has improved substantially since the launch of the LTD Program in 2012. Students in schools that received teacher and principal training scored an average of 7% higher on standardized examinations when compared to other students in their district whose teachers and principals had not received this training.
There are more than 1,600 public schools and 320 private schools in the West Bank.
USAIDâs education reform initiatives have played a critical role in beginning the process of transforming the Palestinian education system from one based on textbooks and rote-learning to one aimed at developing studentsâ 21st century skills.

Yep, finally bought the ultimate networking device. The black apple on the iPhone's opening screen is from the cover of my first novel. It was designed by Rick Vermeulen, founding father of the former graphic design studio 'Hard Werken' in Rotterdam. The three icons represent only a fraction of the networking apps available on the iPhone 3G.

As part of the East Kent Resignalling scheme the North Kent workstations at Ashford IECC will transfer the control of the Strood area over to the East Kent Signalling Centre at Gillingham. As part of these works and as part of the 12 car Networker scheme the layout at Strood is changing slightly to allow longer platforms to be built. Here we see 66729 'Derby County' waiting to drop ballast onto the up line. The point work Higham end of platform 3 is being moved closer to Strood Tunnel to allow the longer up platform to be built. For the next few weeks a temporary buffer stop has been installed in platform 3 to allow a maximum length of 4 coach trains to terminate from the Medway Valley. The shunt signals and platform starter from platform 2 are also being moved closer to Higham.

With Network Rail (NW) in the last 48 hrs raising the risk assessment re lineside fires to BLACK- all steam loco movements on the network in NW England were forbidden.
Todays WCRC/ RTC Cumbrian Mts Express was one such casualty- originally diagramed for haulage by 60163 Tornado, notices posted on line referred to alternative traction being used
So WCRC turned out 57012 to head the train over the charters steam sections with 57314 attached at the rear doing the usual.

Good evening I am Holly reporting for Blythe Network News. Tonight will be a short broadcast as there will a special edition of BNN in the coming week with some breaking news from the East Coast. Amelia has left Rockymountainroz where she had a terrific time in the mountains and got to see first hand Roz working her magic with sunlight. Roz had her work cut out for her taking a picture inventory of Amelia's wonderful gifts. Roz thank you for taking the time to do that so we could all share seeing the beautiful things Amelia has been given. Hosts please remember to take the arrival photo when the girl arrives to you. Amelia's next stop is to the Brass Cupcake and we promise a good time. Leonor had me a bit confused for awhile but she has left Nina and Bruberries (not sure in which order) and is now with Pattie Leal. I am not certain exactly where Pattie Leal lives so I put a blue pushpin in Brazil which has almost no room for another pin! Geo sadly parted with Yennie who took some loving photos of her and is now with Lovedoll in Malaysia. So far l four months in all is running smoothly. I do not know how Sandra Minkidynamite keeps this in order. Please watch for our special report from the East Coast. From all of us at Blythe Network News good night!

Networker turbo units don't usually appear on MYB-BMO services, usuually being confined to shorter distance services from Marylebone and Moor Street to Leamington and Leamington to Stratford services. However, these units were being used on London/Birmingham services due to the need for extras capacity. Chiltern Railways Class 165 Networker Turbos 165008 (looking rather fresh), 165003 and 165018 cruise through Leamington Spa with the 10:34 (8 early) 5R18 Banbury to Birmingham Moor Street ECS.
Forgive me, it's actually my local news channel... but it's easy to see how I made the mistake! With this latest (and hopefully last) blast of winter weather being so serious, the meteorologists at WMC Action News 5 have been explaining the layers of ice, sleet, and snow we've gotten in light-hearted and creative - and food-themed! - fashions. Pictured on the right is Andrew Kozak, who referred to the "winter weather lasagna" plaguing the Mid-South all morning; and on the left is Ron Childers, with a demonstration the station dubbed "severe cereal alert," that you can watch here: www.wmcactionnews5.com/Clip/11199715/watch-ron-childers-d...
As for myself, I didn't have school today or power for about four hours. I'm just glad it came back on as early as it did, because we're expected to break a 95-year-old record low in the area tonight. My spring break is safe - the three previous make-up days were added onto Saturdays and the end of the year - but today and tomorrow have nowhere to go except more Saturdays, according to the school board, because of graduation dates for seniors. None of us wants more than two weeks of six days of school, so now we're all hoping the state department of education will honor the law that states school days missed while under a state of emergency can be waived. Fingers crossed!
In the meantime, I'm looking forward to continuing retail-based pictures over weather-based ones this Saturday with more OfficeMax uploads and vacation photos in celebration of spring break next weekend. Have a good one and stay safe!

Is it possible to fall in love with a virtual mate? In Second Life, couples prove that theory on a regular basis. They do fall in love. Sometimes, it lasts and sometimes it doesn't.
Those that last are a remarkable group of couples. They are remarkable both in SL and RL where the divorce rate matches the break-ups in SL!
My partner, Xavier and I enjoy SL very much. We dance, we explore, we network, we chill, we love and we have a blast doing silly things.
So many places offer romantic areas such as ballrooms, chill zones and explorations. Here are some of our favorites...
Avilion Ballroom is a special favorite of mine. It's where I first danced with my first crush... and now I dance here with my partner. Recently, renovated, the Avilion offers a beautiful place to romance each other.
Phatland is another. More jazz music than Avilion, Phat's is a sophisticated club for couples. Beautifully built, we seem to frequent this place a lot.
Another great ballroom venue is Frank's Place. A lot of avies hang out here, so do prepare for a bit of lag. I suggest that you arrive early so that you can grab a spot on the dance floor.
A smaller club that we frequent regularly is the MMAC Jazz Link. Every week, DJ VJ Shojo spins an eclectic set of jazz and indie tunes. Very chill and very romantic little jazz club. Dash Renoir is the perfect host there.
Then there's the beautiful Ballroom">Palace, where grand is an understatement. We usually arrive to a nearly empty place dancing alone in our own world. Very romantic.
But, the most grand of all is a recent discovery. Tempura Island and Ballroom is the epitome of a lover's paradise. Grand and magnificent, the ballroom is done in gold gilt, with a beautiful ceiling and wall textures. The stairs leading to the ballroom and castle are simple but ever so opulent. This is an LM that I have sent to all my friends! LOL!
And we still frequent the clubs that offer a place for us. A place where we can be a couple without the drama that other places bring...
We hit Dorian Gray for DJ Barbs set and Xavier set off his JMD particle hud for a romantic interlude on the dance floor. So fun!
A big thanks to DJ Dint Talon for an awesome night over at IPR365 Milky Way Entertainment complex's K-Lounge. OMG, we had a blast! DJ Dint was spinning an incredible set of jungle, tribal, trance... you name it, he was spinning it! We stayed until the end!
We also went to Bogart's Cafe which is kinda a ballroom and kinda a lounge setting. You can dress in ballroom or cocktail dress there. We often go in between clubbing for a quick ballroom dance to lovely jazz music.
We usually stop off at Spanish DJ Sonar Halsey's Future Club. It is always psy heaven there! And BassLine Island for some hardcore tunes to get the blood pumping. Both are fun clubs for couples to hang at and dance.
And when we explore, we always seem to find the cutest places such as Midnight City for NBC's romantic dinner club, Rainbow Room Dining and the Italian pizza place that reminds me of North Beach in San Francisco!
The other night, Xavi took me to NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's build featuring an interactive floor of of the entire world's atmosphere! Wow! This from the US Department of Commerce!
And, when we chill at home we can be silly and set off our particles and dance or pull all our emotes and gestures for hours of silliness.
Couples in Second Life are just like couples in real life. They play, they love, they emote real emotions towards each other... and as best friends, they share the best of Second Life together.

An Invitation: AIDSLifecycle / AIDS Ride
13 times, I have cycled 7 days, 575 miles, from San Francisco to Los Angeles in a cycling charity event called AIDSLifecycle. In route to Los Angeles, I (and 2,000 of my best friends) cycle thru Montecito - the home to Oprah Winfrey.
Each Year, the locals of Montecito gather and create their own "Paradise Pit Stop" for the approx. 2,000 AIDSLifecycle Cyclist & 400 Volunteer Crew members. There you can find: chocolate bars, strawberries, homemade ice cream, vegan treats, corn dogs, Twinkies, coco cola, massages, and then some.. ... ALL YOU CAN EAT ...GRATIS!
Years ago (as I ate my strawberries and homemade ice cream), I asked several Montecito residents: "Where is the Oprah Winfrey Network?"
