Update on Richard
So Richard came and soaked everything I owned and almost drowned my family and me. I am lucky and grateful to be alive.
I know this.
However, I am not pleased at all with the way that things are going.
No one seems to understand the extent of my loss.
NEMO and many others came to assess damages; they took pictures and expressed amazement at the extent of my loss yet no support has been forthcoming.
So yes I have my family, thank God but I am homeless, forced to seek lodging at a friend’s house and not being able to provide for my sons who mean the world to me.
Like I said in class, I have always considered myself a proud independent woman and I do not appreciate the way the government agencies are humiliating me
by telling me they will assist my family with food and yet to date
I don’t seem to qualify for something as simple as food!
Having waited for so long and having not received any package from any government agency, I explained to Mr. Roger Espejo my disappointment;
he told me to go on Regent street and ask for Ms. Pennil at Human Services Department, who would give me a package of food.
Believing him, I went to go pick it up then when I got there I was told by Ms Pennil that I needed to go back home and wait there for someone to come and assess my house first and then I would get food so I left with nothing for they gave nothing.
A few more days passed and no food came, yet each night newscasts featured food distribution to people of the “Port Layola” area.
Again I visited Regent Street and spoke to Ms. Pennil.
I reminded her of what she has said about the assessment and informed her that I still did not get any food.
Well! She told me I would not be getting any because I had a job and I did not need the assistance.
WOW!! Really! Wow!! Who is she to tell me what I do and do not need?
Well you know I had to ask her! I said Ms. Pennil,
“Look at me. (This was Frinday, I was dressed the same as for classes that morning)
Do I look like a person who would come all the way here if I did not need to…really?”
I explained that I have always subsidized my income with my landscaping or id printing and neither was possible now because all my equipment was destroyed;
(I had the pictures to prove it) yet my financial obligations remained the same and because I had no means of making extra money I would face losing my house. .
I explained that her actions were unreasonable and she replied that when I have no house or job then they can help me.
I asked was the relief not for victims of the hurricane or only unemployed people. She said, “Miss you have a job”, as if that was something bad.
To be honest, I feel like a victim, but not because of the Hurricane Richard.
I feel persecuted for being an employed, educated member of society.
I have always been an honest, hard working, law abiding, productive member of society, working for many years.
I pay my taxes.
Under normal circumstances I would never be asking for anything other than,
“Can I offer you landscaping services or print your companies ID cards?”
and for them to treat me this way when I am in need, is despicable!
Never have I ever imagined that I would be placed in such a position.
It really is hard for me to have had everything and to have lost it all so quickly. This was really unexpected and I struggle emotionally and the added stress of their actions is uncalled for.
I remember Mr. Roger Espejo on a television interview where he spoke of my case and said that the government “would assist the teacher on Reggae St.” well I have received no assistance and I am surprised and upset.
Anyway, being the fighter and businesswoman that got me all I had in the first place, I will not give up.
I did break down, I admit, but now I am ready to try again, for my sanity, for my sons, for my future and as an example to women and all my students past and present.
My first plan of action is a bar-b-q that will be held this Friday November 12th 2010.
This bar-b-q will be done Cayo style with
Cooper's secret ingredient (yummy)and be sold at $5.00 each.
I will have tickets available on Monday so feel free to come pick one up.
Tell your friends..true…tell them! I will have a tent across from the SJC roundabout (where printing is done)
Yes! The gentleman gave me permission to use his yard.
Food will be available from eleven.. well that’s the plan.
As for what I need, some people have expressed their desire to help and feeling that I would take their offer the wrong way so here is a multiple choice. Lol
a. You can support me by buying a ticket
b. You can help me sell some tickets
c. You can bring any of the following to be used for the bbq (foil paper, bbq sauce, coal, plastic bags.)
d. You can offer to deliver bbq on that day
I know this.
However, I am not pleased at all with the way that things are going.
No one seems to understand the extent of my loss.
NEMO and many others came to assess damages; they took pictures and expressed amazement at the extent of my loss yet no support has been forthcoming.
So yes I have my family, thank God but I am homeless, forced to seek lodging at a friend’s house and not being able to provide for my sons who mean the world to me.
Like I said in class, I have always considered myself a proud independent woman and I do not appreciate the way the government agencies are humiliating me
by telling me they will assist my family with food and yet to date
I don’t seem to qualify for something as simple as food!
Having waited for so long and having not received any package from any government agency, I explained to Mr. Roger Espejo my disappointment;
he told me to go on Regent street and ask for Ms. Pennil at Human Services Department, who would give me a package of food.
Believing him, I went to go pick it up then when I got there I was told by Ms Pennil that I needed to go back home and wait there for someone to come and assess my house first and then I would get food so I left with nothing for they gave nothing.
A few more days passed and no food came, yet each night newscasts featured food distribution to people of the “Port Layola” area.
Again I visited Regent Street and spoke to Ms. Pennil.
I reminded her of what she has said about the assessment and informed her that I still did not get any food.
Well! She told me I would not be getting any because I had a job and I did not need the assistance.
WOW!! Really! Wow!! Who is she to tell me what I do and do not need?
Well you know I had to ask her! I said Ms. Pennil,
“Look at me. (This was Frinday, I was dressed the same as for classes that morning)
Do I look like a person who would come all the way here if I did not need to…really?”

Important update for this week!!
Good Morning everyone.
I hope you were all safe during Richard. I know many of you suffered losses material and otherwise. We must all still be grateful for the fact that we are alive.
I am. My family and I was at home when Richard came. I felt that my house was strong enough to withstand a Category one hurricane so I did the normal preparation in terms of food and removing stuff from the floors and place them four feet off the ground. Well That did not work!! The water rose in excess of six feet in my home I found myself holding my younger son up,as he stood on a table that was on my submerged sofa, hoping that help would arrive in time and we would not all die inside my home.
Luckily about twelve help arrived and we were rescued. I lost everything I had in my home and my truck as the yard itself came under about 8 feet of water. I am glad to be alive and I am doing my best to not go crazy. True, it's hard. I do have some good news. The extend of the damage will not affect you and your classes other that my absence today... because luckily your grades were all online...yea as for any outstanding papers well they are all gone so we will need to get a fresh start, but we will discuss that when I return to classes on Monday.
Take care and appreciate life.
Really be all that you can be when you can.. your time is NOW!

Well.. I need not tell you what a crazy week it has been.
First there was the Holiday on the 12th..
Then Tropical Storm Paula.. and we all know the mess that caused
Then sadly the provost's mother died and I went to the funeral services
Then came midterm reports and grade verification
and finally Friday...Thank God for every day, and expecially for binging us safly to the end of this crazy, busy week.
But now that the storm has passed...
We need to prepare and get back to schedule:

Please be sure to prepare as your test is scheduled for Tuesday. Be sure to practice a lot and make sure you prepare well by completing the post test at the end of the chapter.
Realize that if you fail this class you will not be allowed to register for MTH 103 and that will eventually lead up to you having to stay an entire extra year. Can you do that…. If I were you; I would just study now and pass and get out of MTH 101 with the foundation I need. But… you decided.
Wednesday assignment Pretest chapter 4 book practice and online practice.
On Thursday we begin chapter 4
Friday book practice and online practice.
Saturday book practice and online practice.

Monday book practice and online practice.
In other words each day I want you to do a few problems out of the book and also max out the time on the website practice. It’s for your benefit.
INT 111
The file for chapter 4 has been posted in your various class folders.
Prepare by reading it in its entity. Various assignments will be assigned later. But start to read. Of course needless to say you must research whatever you are unsure of you know that by now.
Also be reminded that by now you should have already created your blog on blogspot.com and have 3 entries for the first week. I will give a grade for the web address 100 if the blog was created and has 3 entries. Zero for anything less than that. So you chose what you want 100% or zero. Help me to help you…Do your part.
Other than that.. next week we proceed with chapter 4 and the test for that chapter will be the following Monday and Tuesday depending on your class day.

Update on Lost Phone
I am pleased to announce that I was able to retrieve the lost phone.
See my faith in the goodness of my students was not in vain.
I am glad I decided to hold out and wait for its return and not simply get upset and have the cameras reveal anything; as that would have resulted in the explosion of a student.
I know you are all eager to know who it was. BUT NO! NO! no!
I 'had said I did not want to know as long as the phone was returned
and so that's the end of it.
I keep my word.
Remember that you must always be a man or woman of your words.
It's a quality worth building.
So having said that;
let's put this whole thing behind us and move on.

LOST PHONE
Today in my Math 101-2 Class I took a students phone so that she would not be tempted to use the calculator function.
The class continued and was dismissed normally.
A few minutes the student returned asking for the phone.
Upon checking we realized that it was nowhere to be found.
It is apparent that someone mistakenly picked up the phone instead of a glasses case that was found.
Kindly assist me in locating this phone and returning the glasses case to its rightful owner.
I know that the whole incident was a honest mistake and would like to put an end to this matter.
Please return the phone to me tomorrow as soon as possible so that I may return it to its owner.
I trust that you all will be mature about this matter and not let me have to resort to reviewing camera images as this would result in an incident report having to be filled out and all the consequences that may arise.
Having said that please also respect the privacy of the owner of the phone by not reviewing text or photos remember do unto others as you would have them do to you.
Today her phone is missing tomorrow it may be yours... Do the little you can today to make Belize a better place.

Official Notice
Tropical Storm Matthew was formed today and is threatening the coast of Nicaragua, Honduras and possibly Belize. Everyone is strongly encouraged to monitor the development of this weather system in order to activate your personal/family emergency plans.
Given its current position and projected path, Belize will likely be affected over the weekend, with the strong probability of heavy rainfall even before.
In order to prepare, approval has been granted for country wide cancellation of classes on Friday.
Note then:
There will be no classes Today September 24th 2010.
This is due to pending bad weather that is expected from Tropical Storm Matthew.
Check local weather report for accurate factual information.
This means that the test scheduled for tomorrow is going to be re-scheduled.
I will keep you posted.
Keep safe, take care and if possible of course prepare for my class.

MATH 101
An update on the assignment.
I was clear that I expected ALL assignments as well as NO late assignments. Now remember assignments are for your benefit. You were given adequate time to complete it and it was accessible to you. Keep in mind that many of you do not have the book and I am doing my best to help you with whatever I can. Well… One such way is by giving assignments. Failure to complete my assignment will result in 20% off immediately, no questions asked. You do your part I will do mine.
Second late assignment 30% off. Don’t let that apply to you – Do my work and do it well. I expect great things from you do not disappoint me!
Third late assignment 40% off Need I say more.
Next week we will be moving on to fractions. This means that you need to have the basics of addition subtraction multiplication and division set. Come on if you never got it before we can do it now. Help me to help you.
Having said that it would be advisable to review the following:
Composite and prime numbers
be able to identify proper/improper and mixed numbers
know how to find the LCM
inequalities (greater than, less than and equal to)
addition subtraction multiplication and division of fractions.
Check back later for today’s assignment.

* I expect each of you to try your best at all times.
* Remember that to get a concept in math you need to practice.
* Never forget that I believe in your ablity - now prove it!
Below is a link to a tutorial website, I would like you to go to the website.
Note that it covers 3 basic areas.
1. Addition and Subtraction
2. Multiplication and division

Good Morning All;
We are off to the start of a wonderful week.
I have checked your tests. They have been graded and your grades have been posted in Engrade. I am not pleased with the outcome but I realize that the results were skewed due to 3 people being absent and receiving an M; this brought down the average drastically. Having said that please be notified that absences are not good. When you are absent you miss vital work and your performance suffers. In the case where you have an unexplained/unexcused absence and graded work was assigned you receive an M.
(M is a pretty was of saying ZERO – Zero is not good to have in your grades!)
So to wrap up come to all my classes,
be on time and have all your assignments ready.

Interesting.. true…very true!!
Every morning in Africa a gazelle wakes up.
It knows it must run faster that the fastest lion or it will be killed.
Every morning a lion wakes up.
It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.
It does not matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle.
When the sun comes up, you better start running.
So my question for you is..
Are you ready for the rising of the sun?

Class Reschedule notice....NOTICE!!
Yesterday as I was feeding my dogs in the morning before going to school, one of them jumped on me and threw me off balance. Sadly I stood on an exposed nail. I sprayed it with a pain killer and went to school. Later that day as I sat and assisted with the students’ registration my foot started to swell. Luckily I made it through class. I am sure you could see how painful it was for me to move. So unlike me!!
Today my foot is swollen really badly and I am not able to put on my shoe nor can I walk. I will not be able to make it to class today. You know if I could I would.
I know we had a quiz scheduled for today but in its place I will assign a take home assignment. This assignment is to be printed and submitted in our next class.
You are free to use you notes and research to ensure a good grade. I propose, to make up this class next week at a time to be arranged upon my return. I suggest that you do not resist as this is in your best interest. I already explained that this summer session will be packed with lots of activities and I assure you this misfortune will not derail us. Having said that here is your assignment.
1. You are to construct a level zero diagram for a video store.
2. Construct each process individually
3. Combine the individual diagrams to create a level 1 DFD for the video store.
Below is the descriptive details for the video store.
“Video R US” is a members only video store.
To become a member a person must provide a valid form of ID and a current utility bill.
A membership card is issued when membership has been approved.
To rent videos a member provides the required video along with his/her membership card. Both are processed and a fee is given.
The video store acquired new videos each month based on a compiled list that is submitted to the supplier who then brings the requested videos.
Taa Daa that's it!! If you have any questions call me at 629-9922. Don't send me text cause I can't text back today.
