short story slam week 44

my brain freezes
when Kimberly-Clark and Bay West sing
and Fallin Page-Bricker book hot

my mind looses
when colorful Pipe line converges into Dot Woo food,
a table of delicious words

my figures relax
as Quartz Mountain music orchestras under Julie Cohen and Emily Claude,
and when Symon, Grace, Nguyen, Emily, Alex, Tuzo, and Tom sit

a long way to go,
yet we gather our wisdom while sightseeing,
i prefer sleep alone, without doubts

Mentoring matters. Mentoring has the power to transform lives. By spending consistent, quality time with a child, a volunteer mentor can help boost a child’s self-esteem, improve school performance, strengthen a child’s relationships with peers and family, and introduce a child to a world of new possibilities. By sharing their time and life experiences, mentors can encourage children to recognize and pursue their own dreams and reach their full potential.

About the Boren Mentoring Initiative

In 2006, the Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence launched the David and Molly Boren Mentoring Initiative to promote the growth and development of quality youth mentoring programs statewide. Named for foundation founder and chairman David L. Boren and his wife, Molly, the initiative grew out of Boren’s own commitment to mentoring and the proven impact that mentoring can play on a student’s success in and out of the classroom.

The Boren Mentoring Initiative:

• Promotes and advocates for quality youth mentoring
• Provides guidelines, best practices, research, mentoring models and training
• Facilitates creating and supporting mentoring programs
• Maintains a network of and forum for the state’s various mentoring organizations
• Advocates for and gathers Oklahoma mentoring data
• Serves as a referral and recruitment mechanism for mentors and mentees

El 14 de febrero o “día de los enamorados” se celebra hoy en casi todo el mundo. Aunque es una celebración tradicional de países anglosajones, se ha ido implantando en otros países a lo largo del siglo XX con el objetivo de conmemorar el amor y el cariño que se ha de tener, no solo a la pareja, sino también a los amigos, aunque esta última faceta sea menos conocida que la primera.
Independientemente de que este mensaje inicial del día de San Valentín se haya desvirtuado hasta ser considerado para muchos como una “fiesta comercial”, queremos aprovechar para conocer los “san valentines” de los CEOs TIC más conocidos. Sus caras son mucho menos populares que las de sus parejas pero hemos querido saber qué aspecto tiene la media naranja de Meg Whitman (HP), Virginia Rometty (IBM), Marissa Meyer (Yahoo), Larry Page (Google), Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), John Chambers (Cisco), Steve Ballmer (Microsoft), Jeff Bezos (Amazon), Michael Dell (Dell) y Larry Ellison (Oracle), Charlotte Birkenstock (Birkenstock), sheryl Sandberg (google), Zach Brogue (yahoo), Jeff Bezos y Mackenzie Bezos (amazon), Michael Dell y Susan Dell(Dell),

The bamboos ⁱ/bæmˈbuː/ are a subfamily (Bambusoideae) of flowering perennial evergreen plants in the grass family Poaceae.
Giant bamboos are the largest members of the grass family. In bamboo, the internodal regions of the stem are usually hollow and the vascular bundles in the cross section are scattered throughout the stem instead of in a cylindrical arrangement. The dicotyledonous woody xylem is also absent. The absence of secondary growth wood causes the stems of monocots, including the palms and large bamboos, to be columnar rather than tapering.^[3]
Bamboos include some of the fastest-growing plants in the world,^[4] due to a unique rhizome-dependent system. Certain species of bamboo can grow 91 cm (3 ft) within a 24-hour period, at a rate of almost 4 cm (1.5 in) an hour (a growth around 1 mm every 90 seconds, or one inch every 40 minutes).^[5] Bamboos are of notable economic and cultural significance in South Asia, Southeast Asia and East Asia, being used for building materials, as a food source, and as a versatile raw product. Bamboo has a higher compressive strength than wood, brick, or concrete and a tensile strength that rivals steel.^[6][7]
The word bamboo comes from the Kannada term bambu, which was introduced to English through Indonesian and Malay.^[8]
