CBS Radio Unveils New "Airtime Analytics" Measurement Tool
CBS Radio has announced it will be the first company to bring radio advertisers a new measurement tool that illustrates the ROI and effectiveness of their marketing campaigns. CBS Radio Airtime Analytics measures the impact of audience delivery and engagement to show proven results. An exclusive tool offered only by CBS Radio in the markets in which it operates, Airtime Analytics evaluates the volume of audience delivered from an over-the-air radio campaign to an advertiser's website. Those insights are then used to optimize creative content and placement throughout the flight of a campaign to maximize results.
"Radio has long been one of the most effective mediums in reaching a targeted demographic and Airtime Analytics is the next step in delivering even greater value to our clients," said Bob Philips, Chief Revenue Officer, CBS Radio. "This exclusive new tool allows us to finally measure an advertiser's lift in website traffic following a radio spot. Armed with an analysis of consumer movement, we are then able to give our clients a clear understanding of their most successful creative and daypart executions."
CBS Radio Airtime Analytics was developed by AnalyticOwl, a broadcast analytics platform used to measure creative effectiveness and audience response.
David Ballinger, Founder of AnalyticOwl said, "We're excited that hundreds of early adopting CBS Radio clients are using Airtime Analytics to prove that radio does in fact drive website traffic. This is the first time a radio company has utilized analytics on a national level and now, through CBS Radio's forward thinking, advertisers can finally gain a better understanding of the immense impact of radio on their overall marketing mix."
Clip Interactive Partners with Radio One & Reach Media
Clip Interactive, Radio One and its syndication company Reach Media have announced a partnership to deploy all of Radio One's 53 radio stations and seven national network radio personalities, on Clip's interactive audio platform for mobile and web.
Once fully deployed, every Radio One station and network personality show will deliver interactive broadcast and streaming content feeds to listeners via Clip-built mobile apps and web players. Clip's platform will enable rich interactivity and direct attribution of listener engagement for all station and personality content, including broadcast and stream advertising delivered by Radio One and Reach Media syndicated programming.
Radio One chose Clip as a digital strategy partner after a successful seven-month trial on their highly rated, five-station Washington, DC cluster. Clip's mobile and web solution provides Radio One listeners with a rich, engaging and consistent user experience across all digital channels, allowing stations and personalities to deliver highly engaging interactive content for traditional radio, as well as native, digital-only content.
With Radio One and Reach Media adopting Clip's interactive audio platform, Clip continues to see significant industry-wide adoption of their technology and consumer-facing products which allow radio companies to compete with and surpass digital competitors. With Clip, broadcasters are seeing the benefits of hyper-engaged listeners and digital users. Clip's solution for Radio One can leverage its reach, loyal listener base, and exclusive content, unlike many of the more commoditized music streaming only platforms.
Clip's EVP/Chief Revenue Officer and industry veteran, Bill Freund shared, "After working operationally with Radio One for seven months, it's clear that they have a sophisticated, forward-thinking digital team. We're very proud that a group with so much digital credibility chose our platform to pursue their digital vision. And further, after providing our platform solution to a wide array of U.S. broadcasters for more than three years, we're very excited to be playing such a critical role in changing the digital landscape for the whole radio industry."

From Mark & Treva - Our Music Directors
This month at Sharon, we continue the Bicentennial celebration with a "Remembering the Past" service. The idea is to honor the cloud of witnesses that has come before us, and to acknowledge the steadfast love of the Lord that has sustained this group of believers in Moon Township for 200 years. However, it would be wrong to rest on our laurels- to be glad of what has passed without any thoughts of the present or future. God's presence endures. He still sustains this group of believers- right now.
Looking at the present, we can gratefully see His hand at work in the many ministries here; we can feel His loving hold on the happy remnant that remains after a few difficult years. We can experience His peace in our leadership, finances, and enthusiastic volunteer base; and we can know His care through the supportive prayers, words, and presence of our church family.
But what about the future? Some would say, "Trust God and don't worry about it." Definitely don't worry! But thinking about it is a wonderful thing: how can we prepare for our own future here, for the next generation of believers, for the next 200 years? The answer, we believe, is in the scripture above. God Himself puts a song in our mouths- He gives each of us a joy, a passion, that makes our very hearts sing. Why is that important for the future? Because these passions ARE our calling. God is good. He doesn't call us to drudgery in His Name! He gives us joy that we can take to others in His Name. In sharing our God-given gifts, we are a living, constant, vibrant presence of God's love in the world.
So what makes your heart sing? Do you love to sew? Make a warm blanket for a sick friend. Do you love to fish? Take someone with you for peaceful fellowship in God's creation. (Mark and Treva hope your passion is singing...) The possibilities are endless, highly individual, and effective, no matter what age, salary, health status, or any other limitations we perceive of ourselves. God can use your personal joy- a gift from Him in the first place- to bless others and draw them into His Kingdom, thereby sustaining communities like Sharon for centuries to come.
So go, listen to that song in your heart, and sing a song of praise to our God.
SDG, Mark and Treva

Mission Milestones June 2017
WELL DONE! The Pocket Change collection totaled $1,703.80!!!! The children did a wonderful job collecting the change and the congregation was very generous!!!! More children in Haiti will now have safe drinking water and will be less likely to die from cholera.
We have just had one of our own, The Reverend Ron Schermerhorn, complete his course work at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary and pass his exams for ordination as a teaching elder in the Presbyterian Church USA. You helped Ron achieve this goal by your generous contributions to the Reuel E. Johnson Scholarship Fund. This fund is used to assist Sharon members or staff in their seminary studies. CONGRATULATIONS, Ron! The offering for the Reuel E. Johnson Scholarship Fund will be collected on Sunday, July 2, 2017. This is a fitting day for this offering because it is the day that we will have the Ringers of Sharon Reunion. Rev. Johnson was the catalyst for Sharon Church's developing a hand bell choir.
Are you ready?! Are you excited?! It's almost here!!!! THE 200th BIRTHDAY OF SHARON COMMUNITY PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH!!!!!!! The big celebration will occur on Sunday, August 20th.
During the month of August, we will all have the opportunity to give a onetime birthday present to the church. $200 for 200!!!!!
DREAM THE FUTURE!!!! If every member gave a gift of $200, we would collect almost $50,000! If every giving unit(family), gave $200, we would raise about $36,000! IMAGINE WHAT GOD COULD DO WITH THAT!!!!
$200 would be a gift of $1 for each year that Sharon has been in existence. Some may wish to give other factors of 2 - $2 for every year that you have lived, $2 for every year that you have belonged to Sharon church, $20 for every milestone [baptism, wedding etc] celebrated in this church or whatever gift that you feel is appropriate in celebration of this Bicentennial year.
The proceeds from these gifts will be given 20% to mission and 80% to capital improvements to our aging plant. God has been faithful to Sharon Church through the years and in gratitude for His grace and love our birthday gifts will continue His mission through this congregation!
Another blessing, we are pleased to announce that Stacy Ford has joined our committee and we really appreciate her involvement!!!
Pastoral Nominating Committee "PNC"
The PNC is getting very close to finding our next pastor. We feel that God has been leading us in this process by opening some doors and closing others. After having some questions answered by our Presbytery representatives, we met with the Personnel and Finance Committees to determine parameters for our Terms for Call. We would like to thank the congregation for all the prayers and patience, and hope to have good news to share with everyone very soon.
Young Couples Group
The Young Couples group is taking a "Summer Break." This past year they studied a variety of topics, the last two classes focused on the Gospel of John and "Living Water". They will resume meeting in the Fall at 11:15am in Room 100. Any young couples are invited to join and if you would like to lead a discussion (or even a series) that would be wonderful! It is a great group and thanks to you, Sharon Church has an awesome future!

How to organize your math homework timing successfully?
One of the reasons that homework can seem daunting is that it feels like an unwanted imposition on our lives. But, if we recognise that we MUST do our homework, and that organising it and getting it done will actually allow us to enjoy our leisure time without guilt, then it can be done more effectively and efficiently.
Set aside Time
Do not plan anything else at that time, and avoid planning anything before, which might run into that time, or anything directly after, which may make you be hasty.
Identify the Problem
You cannot solve a problem before you know what it is. So, spend a period of time reading the problem, and ensuring that you understand precisely what is being asked. Before starting to tackle the problem, make sure you understand all of variables mentioned, and if you are unsure, consult the relevant textbooks to identify each variable.
Identify Steps
Once you have formulated the problem, you need to spend time identifying the best possible way to solve the problem; how do I get from A to B, in the most efficient route, and ensuring that I end up at the designated B, and not some arbitrary or incorrect place? These steps and tools (e.g. any relevant formulas and variables) need to be written down in order, and adhered to. Some of the time you will have a clear idea on how to tackle the problem you are faced with, based on previous knowledge from your course. If however you have doubts about how to solve the task, do not despair; as this is not an indication that you have done something wrong. Searching for a solution to a problem is precisely what you should be doing – this is the essence of learning.
Consult Course Material
The final preparatory step if you have any doubts on how to solve the task should be consulting the relevant course material, either in book form or online. You should always give priority to textbooks and other materials that have been suggested during your course, as this will most likely contain precisely the kinds of information you are looking for. Once you have found the missing information, take the problem, and begin methodically going through your steps in order to solve it.
Maths is method, and it is systematic: if you follow steps, and these steps are correctly established, then it is literally impossible to go wrong. So, follow the above guidelines and math homework can become, if not a joy, at least a little less than mental torture!

Short profiles of the 9 fallen Charleston firefighters
CHARLESTON, S.C. -- To many of his fellow firefighters, Capt. Billy Hutchinson was more than just a veteran fire captain with three decades of service under his belt - he was also their barber.
When he wasn't on duty or playing golf, Hutchinson, 48, worked a side job trimming hair at a barber shop in the Charleston area, Fire Chief Rusty Thomas said. He would even set up a chair at the fire station to give haircuts to co-workers dropping by during their shifts.
Hutchinson was known for working at a slow, deliberate pace that earned him the nickname "Lightning." But Thomas said Hutchinson tackled his assignments head-on, from making sure his firefighters were trained to raising money for children's charities.
Despite his soft-spoken demeanor, Capt. Mike Benke had a quiet confidence and leadership abilities that were never questioned by Charleston firefighters.
With nearly three decades at the department, Benke, 49, would fill in for battalion chiefs when they took vacation. And firefighters trusted in his experience when Benke gave orders, Thomas said.
"When he spoke, they did what he said," Thomas said. "Everybody knew that he knew his job."
Capt. Louis Mulkey always found somebody to cover his shifts on Friday nights during football season so he could attend the games at his alma matter, Summerville High School. The 34-year-old Mulkey, a 1991 Summverville High graduate, had played defensive back and quarterback at the school, said Capt. Richard Waring, a friend since middle school. When he wasn't on duty, Mulkey volunteered as a coaching assistant for the high school's basketball and football teams.
Kelly Lax, Mulkey's cousin, said many students he had coached came to his home Tuesday to see his wife, Lauren, after hearing Mulkey was among the firefighters killed.
"They gave grief a new face," Lax said. "They were very much a part of this family."
During his time off from fighting fires in Charleston, Engineer Mark Kelsey worked about 20 miles up the road doing the same job for the Ashley River Fire Department.
Kelsey, 40, loved firefighting so much, and was so aggressive at it "he was almost too good a firefighter to be in our department," Thomas said of the man who worked for the Charleston department for more than 12 years.
His attitude was a bit more laid-back when it came to routine chores around the fire station, such as mopping the floor, Thomas said. But when a call came in, Kelsey always moved at full-throttle - befitting a man who made his living driving fire trucks with sirens blaring.
Some firefighters might get excited, even flustered, rushing to a fire or other emergency - but not Engineer Brad Baity, who worked for the department for nine years.
Baity, a 37-year-old fire truck driver, always exuded a quiet calm under the most stressful conditions, said Thomas.
"In a day's time, I bet Brad wouldn't say 10 words," Thomas said. "When it's all smoldering, some people might raise their voices. But not Brad."
Off duty, Baity worked part-time at a quieter job, as a house painter.
It took Assistant Engineer Michael French only about a year at the Charleston Fire Department to be promoted to assistant engineer - meaning he sometimes got to drive fire trucks, a job most firefighters wait two or three years to get.
Thomas said French, 27, had come highly recommended by his supervisors at the neighboring St. Andrews Fire Department, where he had worked about two years. He had worked in Charleston for about 18 months.
"I don't know if he didn't get enough fires or excitement there," Thomas said. "He didn't care about the money."
Thomas remembered seeing French surrounded by family after he graduated from the Charleston department's two-week recruiting class. The chief called it "the best day of Mikey French's entire life."
Earl Drayton's nickname around the fire station was "Squirrel," for no reason other than it rhymed with his name.
Drayton, a 32-year veteran was the most experienced of the nine firefighters killed, but never sought promotion above being a rank-and-file firefighter - a job he loved, said Thomas. Drayton, 56, was also inseparable from Hutchinson and Baity. All three men worked on the same truck.
Drayton was an outgoing man who had a habit of jangling loose change in his pocket when he talked.
Thomas, who worked shifts with Drayton before becoming chief, laughed while recalling one night when they were watching TV at the station until the dispatcher called them about a fire. Drayton heard the address and shot out of his seat and ran to the truck.
"He said, 'Rusty, get this thing going! That's my house!'" Thomas recalled with a chuckle.
Firefighter Brandon Thompson hobbled into work on crutches last year, having broken his leg while helping a friend cut down a tree. He didn't have much sick time to take off, and wanted to keep working.
So Thompson, 27, spent the next three months working with the fire department's mechanics. He would go out to check the water pressure on fire hydrants and fetch oil, gasoline and other things the mechanics needed.
The chief said Thompson's father came with him to the station the day his son hobbled in on his broken leg because he was so concerned for his job.
On Monday, after learning the four-year veteran was inside the burning furniture store when it collapsed, Thompson's father went to the scene of the fire. Thomas said he refused to leave until he saw for himself that his son's body had been recovered and carried out.
Charleston firefighters called Firefighter Melvin Champaign "Pimp Daddy" for his flashy wardrobe of silk shirts, leather caps and shiny new sneakers, but Champaign was more than a smooth dresser.
The 46-year-old often quoted Bible verses in conversation. And though he was past 40 when he joined the Charleston Fire Department two years ago, his motives were as altruistic as a young man half his age, Thomas said.
"He told me, 'Chief, I just want to help people,'" Thomas said. "I never asked him about his age. I didn't even know how old he was."
Champaign spent eight years in the Army and was a welder before he decided his purpose was to save lives, said his older sister, Gardenia Moore.
Champaign played the drums and organ in church and enjoyed cookouts with children in the neighborhood before moving out of Moore's home so he could live closer to the fire station.
When Moore heard about firefighters missing in the blaze, she immediately called her brother's cell phone. No one answered. She kept calling until 3 a.m.
"Then I thought, I've got to stop calling," Moore said. "He's gone."

This question is somewhat similar to How to use Windows Share has home directory, but in this case Windows is not running.
I have installed a dual-boot configuration with Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows. My Windows partition is mounted on /C. Now I want either Ubuntu to locate home directories in
Which is the location of windows accounts
or I want Windows to use
for home directories. (D is the name of the Ubuntu root directory).
For the first approach, I have managed to create a test user account
The account works but test-user cannot run any X session. From .xsession-errors
chmod: Changing rights on "/C/Users/test-user/.xsession-errors": Operation not permitted
Would it help get rid of that chmod, which has no effect? How do I?
If I use the second approach, I need the Ext2fsd driver, which seems to work, but I am not sure if Windows maps the Ext2 system that early.
Here is my fstab
proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
UUID=e7cef061-ed8d-4a82-b708-0c8f4c6f297f / ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1

UUID=b087b5c0-b4bd-47e7-8d34-48ad9b192328 none swap sw 0 0
Update: I found something here: http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-advanced/ Will work if i do a correct mapping between NT users and Linux users.

Using an engaging blend of science, gardening and storytelling, Paige Embry delves into the world of bees. Going far beyond the hive of the honey bee, Embry takes you into the secret world of America's 4000 species of native bees.

Paige Embry's multi-year immersion into the lives of America's native bees began with a gardening epiphany—European-import honey bees can't pollinate tomatoes, but a variety of native bees can. This realization led to an obsession with native bees that cascaded into taking classes, wading through the scientific literature, raising bees, participating in bee science, modifying her garden, and trekking into fields and onto farms with bee experts to learn who America's bees really are, and how they are faring. It also led to a book.
Paige has spent her adult life involved in science and nature, latching onto something and loving it hard for a long time. She fell in love with geology in the very first geology class in college and then with plants and gardening when she moved to Seattle nearly 30 years ago. She started a garden design and coaching business and has taught classes on geology, soils, gardening, and pruning. She began writing to promote the business and discovered the pleasure of writing and the power of story-telling. She's been surprised to find that her Georgia roots, which she thought were long-decayed, sneak into her writing.
In addition to her book, Our Native Bees: North America's Endangered Pollinators and the Fight to Save Them (Timber Press, 2018) Paige has written for Horticulture, The American Gardener, Scientific American, the Food and Environmental Reporting Network and others.
In her talks Paige weaves bee facts and gardening tips into stories. America's four thousand species of native bees flit about the countryside in the shadow of their charismatic cousin, the honey bee, and in her talks Paige hopes show people how varied, fascinating, and useful those native bees are—and how easy it is to share a yard with them.

I had the pleasure of hearing Paige speak at the Northwest Flower and Garden Show. She's an eloquent speaker with compelling stories and information about the vital connections between bees, plants and people.

Laughing while learning--what could be better? Paige's stories and descriptions of her adventures as she studied native bees are as entertaining as they are fascinating. The book is an easy read, filled with simply gorgeous photos of the bees themselves.

Chelsea 1 – 3 liverpool
Could the untouchable Jose Mourinho be heading for the sack after yet another defeat this season? The champions are suffering their worst start in premier league history as Liverpool came out on top, at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea looked to have started the game more like the team we got used to last season, as they came out the blocks with an attacking mind and scored a very early goal in the 4th minute of the game, which gave them a confidence to press forward and apply pressure on Liverpool but in the 28th minute Adam Lallana got onto the end of a great cross, from Milner but put the ball straight into the path of Begovic. Liverpool finally netted the equalizer with a goal from Coutinho on the brink of half time which would have thrown a spanna into the works of Jose Mourinhos half time team talk, after the break Liverpool settled into there rytheme and wanted the goal that finally put them infront, it was Coutinho again to get a brace as the ball was struck it hit John Terry and ended up in the back of the net. John Terry had one of the worst games of his Chelsea career in this match and will be hoping to have a much better performance in the rest of his games this season, Liverpool finally finished off Chelsea with a finish from substitute Benteke in the 84th minute, this result will have left Chelsea fans podering life without Mourinho being better instead of worrying like they did last time.
Crystal Palace 0 – 0 Man Utd
This was a game where normally you would think Man Utd run away winners but this new, rigid style of football that Louis Van Gaal has his team playing is really hurting there chances of getting goals lately, as we have seen in the past few games Man Utd just don't look like scoring and it is costing them valuable points in the games where they should be picking them up. I think Crystal Palace were the better team in this match but just couldn't pull the trigger they had a few good opportunities early on but in the end the game saw no goals. The Crystal Palace fans would be happy with the result but feeling a little bit unlucky not to have earned the three points, on the other hand Man Utd fans will feel very disappointed in the way their team is playing lately but also feeling slightly lucky not to have lost the game.
Man City 2 – 1 Norwich
The game started out slow and a few chances in for City that came close but nothing to make heads turn, no goals in the first half which meant both teams would have had a standard half time team talk, the Norwich players are doing well to keep it at 0 – 0 and Man City would of been getting told to take their chances better, second half came up and it took until the 67th minute when Otamendi nets a goal and puts Man City 1 – 0, after this nothing much happened until Joe Hart made a vital mistake which allowed Jerome to scored in the 83rd minute which give Norwich hope for the point but a red card and penalty decision allowed Yaya to step up and put the penalty away to make it 2 – 1 and win the game for Man City which keeps them top of the table.
Newcastle Utd 0 – 0 Stoke City
Before the game everyone had Newcastle to win and they where unlucky not to win they had most of the chances in the game but just couldn't get the ball past Jack Butland, who made sure it wasn't a high scoring game for Newcastle as there was a flurrie of chances for Newcastle through out the whole game and nothing much coming from Stoke. Jack Butland having the game of his life which has put Newcastle above Sunderland but has still left them in the relegation zone, on the other hand Stoke could have been awarded a penalty in the early stages of the game as Dummett appeared to clip Bojan in the box but the referee waved away the claims. I don't think anyone can have ago at either team for their performances as Newcastle where unlucky, not to score past a Jack Butland in top form but Stoke also lucky not to concede to the assault Newcastle launched.
Swansea 0 – 3 Arsenal
Swansea played the first half of the game fantastically and should have took the lead while they where in charge during, the first half but they just couldn't capitalize on the chances they created. When the second half came about I think we all where wondering what both managers had said to there teams, as when both teams came out neither teams looked the same Swansea just didn't come out the starting blocks but arsenal started the half in a fantastic manner with Giroud nodding home a well worked corner whipped in by Mesut Ozil in the 49th minute, Koscielny then put another goal in for Arsenal to double there lead in the 68th minute, This didn't kill the Swansea spirits as they stormed forward but the game was sealed in the 73rd minute when Joel Campbell netted the third goal of the game, The game ended 0 – 3 to Arsenal which is a result no one would have been expecting at half time.
Watford 2 – 0 West Ham
Man of the match Odion Ighalo netted twice as Watford racked up there second win in a row and the striker kept up his goal scoring form, to send his team up to 11th in the league with a great win over West Ham, with watford being the better team in this match despite what the table suggests, I think every one had West Ham to win this match but they couldn't keep the ball or make there shots count, Watford had 20 shots but only 5 of those were on target but the only stat that matters is the 2 goals, one coming in the first half 39th minute and the second coming soon after the game restarted for the second half, in the 48th minute with a well work goal marking his seventh goal of the season.
West Brom 2 – 3 Leicester
Leicester started the game well and in the 7th minute Jamie Vardy hit the post but that wasn't the end of it as they kept up the attack until the 30th minute when Rondon netted for West Brom to put the home team in front with a powerful header which was to much for Kasper Schmeichel, after the start of the second half it took until the 57th minute when Mahrez stroked a nice ball home from a nice cross sent in by Marc Albrighton, then again in the 64th minute fourteen minutes before Jamie Vardy wrapped it up or so they thourght as in the 84th minute Rickie Lambert converted from the penalty spot to give West Brom a life line but West Brom couldn't use that momentum to create another goal and missed out on the 3 points to Leicester in a very even match in my eyes.
Everton 6 – 2 Sunderland
A game that Sunderland fans couldn't wait for after making it 6 in a row against Newcastle last week soon turned into a match they couldn't wait to finish as Gerard Deulofeu netted the opener in the nineteen minute of the game before Kone got the first goal of his first ever Everton hatrick in the 31st minute which just showed Evertons dominance at that point during the game which is when Defoe came out to score in the 45th minute of the game to make it 2 – 1, which give Sunderland the confidence to go on a get another goal netted by Steven Fletcher with a headed goal but this only made Everton come back into the game and start asserting there dominance once again and opening up the Sunderland defense again and again forcing Sunderland to make mistakes starting with an own goal by Coates in the 55th minute, five minutes later Lukaku scores to make it 4 – 2 but Everton were not done there as two minutes after Lukaku scored, Kone netted his second of the hatrick to make it 5 – 2, Everton seemed to have settled down before Kone finished off his hatrick in the 76th minute to finish off Sunderland and sealing a 6 – 2 victory in style leaving Sunderland below Newcastle and still in the religation zone.
Southampton 2 – 0 Bournemouth
Southampton started the game well but it took them until the 31st minute to open up the scoring with Steven Davis right footed shot from very close range into the top right corner minutes before pelle scores to make it 2 – 0 with a header from the centre of the box into the top left corner of the goal, after the ball had been sent in by Tadic which was the end of the scoring but not the end of the drama as Victor Wanyama got sent off in the second half for a second yellow card in the 77th minute of the game with a bad tackle forcing the referee to dismiss him with a second yellow. This result has left Bournemouth in a relegation fight early in the season and Southampton up in 7th place looking to gain a place in Europe.

This is the story of a project born out of a spark, as are so many in our class. The spark was not something entirely new in our routine, but instead something we took the time to notice. I always greet my students upon entry to school, and let them know whether or not we'll be starting our day outside ("Please hang your backpacks, we're heading out!") or inside. I chat with students as I take attendance, asking about their treasures (because someone has always brought something special to show us) or simply saying hello. Most days my students greet me with a cheerful: "assalamu alaikum" or "Marhaba". One day at our welcome circle on the carpet, a girl "C" greeted her class in her home language, Vietnamese, by saying: "Chao". I said I was happy to learn a new way to say hello! We all practiced it "chao" and then she told us it also means goodbye. Well that news was surprising to many of us. I told the students that it reminded me of Italian, in which you also greet people by saying "ciao". Suddenly everyone had their hand up or was excitedly shouting out another way to greet friends. It reminded me of the day our "We Can Count!" project began, just over a year ago. As we often do when something exciting happens in our class, we tweet our families and followers to share the news. Here is the story of our "Hello, Goodbye" book, in the tweets we sent.

Our project was made even more meaningful with the active participation of our principal at Thornwood PS, Roberto Di Prospero. My PM class were excited by his interest in their project, and while we understood his job is to take care of the whole school, students reminded me every day (including Z's tweet to @RobdiPro above) that they wanted him to add his Italian greetings to our book.
Here is the book we have created so far. Many more students have brought in their "hellos" than were added into our digital book. (Some students were happy to share in class but aren't comfortable with recording their voice to share). Other inquiries are ongoing in class, with much focus this spring on finding "all kinds of lines", our #kndspring collaboration with "Ranger" Rob Ridley, and our newest living subjects at our #lookclosely centre (which the students have so far decided might be worms, centipedes, baby snakes, or caterpillars). It's my hope that all the students who wish to will add a page to our book before the end of the year.
Note: if you are viewing on a mobile device it's likely that you see an empty space above where the Voicethread book is embedded. If so, click here to view the book on the free app).
One of the benefits of an inquiry into the many languages in our community is the celebration of all the diverse types of writing systems in our world. We look closely at the different ways people write around the world: right-to-left orientation, script that scrolls down the page, letters, syllables and entire words in a symbol. This project has opened our eyes to the wonder of languages as they are spoken and written around the world, and more specifically, in our homes.
The following quote from the introduction to the Kindergarten program outlines the importance of honouring the languages and cultures of every student. Our inquiry may have started simply with a greeting, but it grew into so much more.
Principle 2: Partnerships with families and communities strengthen the ability of early childhood settings to meet the needs of young children. It is essential for the Early Learning–Kindergarten team to work with members of the local school community in order to develop familiarity with the community's unique characteristics, strengths, and needs, and the opportunities it affords for learning. At the start of the school year, teachers and families may collaborate with other significant education partners, such as early childhood educators and school and community resource teams, to ensure that the child experiences as smooth a transition to the school environment as possible. Throughout the year, a welcoming and inclusive approach by the Early Learning–Kindergarten team and other members of the school staff can empower community members to become ongoing partners in the child's education. In a multilingual community, it is helpful to arrange for interpreters to be available so that important information can be exchanged and good relationships established.
Projects and activities in early childhood settings can involve learning about community life. Taking field trips to interesting places in the community, inviting community experts to the classroom, and having community members bring in artefacts from the community related to topics of immediate interest to the children are examples of activities that promote learning and bring the local environment into the daily activities of young children. Children benefit from respectful interactions with a variety of community members, and from a sense of connection and engagement with their environment.from: The Full-Day Early Learning – Kindergarten Program 2010 - 11 Draft Version, pg. 11
My friend and often-collaborator Helen Chapman also created a beautiful multilingual book with her AM & PM classes at her school. As our classes often share ideas, and our students sometimes offer comments and questions on the other's tweets, it is an honour to share her story along with ours at the "2014 Celebrating Linguistic Diversity Conference" at OISE on Friday, May 2nd. To read her story and view the class book, please visit her blog post here..
If you are a family member of one of my wonderful students, I would love to hear what you think about our story. If you are an educator following our story, either through the blog or because you heard about the project at the "Celebrating Linguistic Diversity Conference", I welcome your questions and/or feedback. If your class has more languages to share, we would love to hear how you say hello (and goodbye)! Please tweet us or leave a comment how we might learn how to say it how you say it!

Blast gets the same 750 Karma that Flint did. Being a dwarf will cost 50 Karma right off, leaving 700 for Life Modules. Blast isn't as strong as Flint, but he does share the troll's thermographic version, plus gets bonus dice against poisons and diseases. Blast also has to pay 20% more for Lifestyle costs. To be a magician, Blast spends 30 more Karma, leaving him with 670.
Attributes:For a change of pace, Blast isn't from Seattle originally. Instead, he's from the Confederation of American States, specifically, Atlanta. English becomes his native language, and he picks up Yiddish, because why not? Whatever the choice, the module costs 15 Karma, leaving 655 left. The bump to Charisma may help Blast as a mage.

Attributes:Blast's early years see him in much better circumstances than the ones Flint grew up in. The future mage had parents who had white collar jobs; middle-to-upper management. The choice is to let Blast and his magical ability get noticed and trained early. I'll fill in the interest skill by the end; for now, there's a place holder. Blast is also getting good with Yiddish. The module costs 40 Karma, leaving 615.

Attributes:Blast's teen years have the obvious module pop up - Magical Education. He now owes a corporation time as a wage mage, but he can leave after that. The skills he gets depend the type of mage he is. Blast is a full magician, capable of casting spells, conjuring spirits, and enchanting items, and paid for that above. The current module costs 50 Karma, leaving Blast 565.

Attributes:Last time, Flint skipped Further Education. Blast, though, is going through university. Specifically, he's going to Georgia State, at a cost of 65 Karma, leaving 500 for later modules. He is getting far more Knowledge skills than Flint did, but that's expected with someone going through higher education. Blast isn't a combat expert; he's an academic at this point.

Attributes:Blast owes a corporation a life module. He takes the Corporate module with the sub-module Wage Mage. He now needs to choose which corporation, and goes with Aztechnology, to later explain why he left. Aztech does not have a shining rep in the shadows, better known for delving into magics best left alone. After that, he takes Street Magic, with the Occult Investigator sub-module. Each module costs 100 Karma, leaving Blast with 300.

Attributes:Time to wrap, spending the remaining Karma. Some will go for gear, and some to spells and attributes. First, attributes. Getting Agility, Reaction, and Edge to 3 each costs 75 Karma; boosting Magic to 5 is another 70 Karma, and Logic to 5 is 25 Karma, for a total of 170, leaving 130. Blast takes Stunbolt, Lightning Bolt, Analyze Truth, Stabilize, Bugs, and Shadow, for a total of 30 Karma, leaving 100. He also has skills to improve - Pistols to 3 (10 Karma), the Enchanting Group to 2 (10 Karma), and Astral Combat to 4 (14 Karma) for a total of 34 Karma, leaving 66.

For equipment, I'll use the Packs in Run Faster, because the Karma cost is already listed. He starts with the Basic Runner Pack (5 Karma), the Subtle Pistol Pack (1 Karma), the Stylish Suit Pack (1 Karma), the Go Anywhere Jacket Pack (2 Karma), the Success in the Shadows Pack (6 Karma, because of the extra costs for Lifestyle as a dwarf), Medic Pack (1 Karma), Infiltration Pack (1 Karma), Advanced Magician Pack (2 Karma), and the Magic Wand Pack (18 Karma cost plus 12 Karma to bond), for a total of 48 Karma. The remaining 18 Karma will be used for contacts.

By artist Joanna Lefroy Capelle.
- Steel Magnolias: These sculptures are made from industrial 'junk' salvaged from the old Perth Gasworks. They are like magnificent organic plants symbolising the park's metamorphosis from industrial land back to nature. By artist Jon Denaro.
- Diver and Guard Dogs: In the elevated residential subdivision of Belvidere, a figure stands on its hands atop a timber column. This humorous spoof on Nelson's Column is surrounded by timber guardian dogs that are popular with children. By artist Russell Sheridan.
- Sea Queen and Standing Figure: The old river boat is permanently 'moored' at the jetty on the northern side of the Cove, now a place to sit and take in the view. The abandoned fishing boat was found on East Perth's foreshore and restored by sculptor Tony Jones. The memories of a life on the river are represented in Standing Figure holding a sailboat, her head turned to the direction of the wind. By artist Tony Jones.
- Art in Landscape: The artist has tried to create a tension between our own memories of a real wetland and the artificial landscape of the Greenway. Specially planted paperbarks appear to be forcing their way through the paving; irregularities in the limestone channel make the water bubble and dance. By artist Nola Farman.
The Federation Heritage Art Walk, Mandurah
The Federation Heritage Art Walk will take you on an enlightening journey through the Mandurah and Peel region. The works highlight the colonial history of the region and allows you to experience the best this region has to offer. See a description of some of the art work pieces below or grab a map from the Mandurah Visitor Centre.
- First Government School: This school opened in 1900 with Mr Robert Dalrymple from Belfast as both head master and teacher. The classes included writing, reading, arithmetic, history and geography. Today the First Government School site is occupied by the Mandurah Community Museum and Historical Society. The school classroom recreated within the museum is very popular and looks much as it did in 1900. By artist Anne Neil.
- Mrs Lyttleton's Inn: Mrs Sarah Lyttleton was the wife of Dr Lyttleton, employed by the founder of the area Thomas Peel, as the surgeon for the settlement. She and her husband moved to Albany in the late 1830's. However on his death in the early 1840s Mrs Lyttleton returned to Mandurah, and on an acre of land near the ferry she built an inn and boarding house. The artwork (2000) at this site is a reminder of the many travellers who passed this way and is made of tinted cement fondue. By artist Claire Bailey.
- First Government Jetty: Since the beginning of the colony, lack of direct transport to and from Mandurah was a problem. Most things arrived by sea, yet a sandbar at the mouth of the estuary could be problematic. In mid 1890 the Government undertook improvements and opened the bar, and in 1896 the Public Works Department contracted the building of the First Government Jetty. The artwork (1998) evokes the aspiration of 'life's journey' within us all and consists of three separate cast bronze works on top of old jetty pylons. By artist Claire Bailey.
- Peel Inlet Preserving Works: In September 1880 the first tins of fish were turned out by C.Tuckey & Co's Peel Inlet Preserving Works. The first fish canned were sea mullet caught by sieve nets in large quantities between September and March in the estuary and along the coast. Fishermen were paid seven to eight shillings for each 100 fish delivered to the cannery. The artwork (1998) charmingly acknowledges 'the early pioneering days' of Western Australia's commercial fishing industry and is made of cast bronze. By artist: Mary Knott.
- Aboriginal Fishing Site: The Mandurah estuary is recognised as an important traditional fishing site for Aborigines. The artwork (1999) celebrates the spiritual beliefs and cultural traditions of the Noongar people and highlights the significance of the waterways in Aboriginal lore. The design was researched and created by Noongar artist Sandra Hill. She worked with ceramic artist Jenny Dawson and members of Winjan Aboriginal Corporation and their families, in creating this outstanding hand-made mosaic. By artists Sandra Hill and Jenny Dawson.
- Renown Bakery: In the early 1900's, a Mr Scrivinern initially owned the bakery. In the early years bread was sold in a 2 pound loaf, and some customers were known to bring back their loaf because "it didn't weigh enough!". In the 1930's the bakery was taken over by William Munice, and 'Muncie's Renown' continued to be celebrated for bread baked in wood ovens right up until the 1970's. The mosaic artwork (2000) and old jetty pylon seating asks you to sit down, enjoy a tasty snack and watch the pelicans watching you - in the hope of a feed! By artistClaire Bailey.
- Open Air Picture Gardens: Originally owned by Mrs Lanyon, the picture gardens were bought by Hobart Tuckey in the late 1920's and run by Mildred Edith Tuckey and her son Owen, who helped during school holidays. The picture show had a big impact on the social life of the community. The new items in the early 'talkies' were an important way for people to gain information. The mosaic artwork (2000) is an invitation to "please be seated", and enjoy the scene in downtown Mandurah. By artist Claire Bailey.
- First Government Post and Telegraph Office: In 1887 the telegraph lines were extended to Mandurah and helped to reduce 'the tyranny of distance' for the early settlers. The artwork (2000), made of hand-made tiles, reminds us to remember someone with a handwritten postcard or letter. The Office was also an important meeting centre for the area when people came in by foot, horse or carriage to collect their mail. By artist Claire Bailey.

I have made apricot leather for years, and kids (and adults) love it. I do not add sugar, but add a banana to a blender of apricots. This gives sweetness without added sugar.
I'm not sure how to rate this recipe!! Taste wise - I would rate higher. However, my lowest setting on my oven is 170F so I had to keep turning it on briefly then off again!! Lucky I was home al...

I was looking for fresh apricot recipes to use up all the fruit my tree produced. This one is the best I've found. My kids (except the one who doesn't eat things that don't come from a box) LO...
Very tasty! I didn't want to leave my oven on for hours while making several batches of leather, so I froze the apricot mixture in 2 cup pkg. so I can make the leather in the winter time wheneve...
This recipe was very simple to put together and tastes wonderful! The only reason it received 4 out of 5 stars was because after 8 hours in the oven, I had to put it in my dehydrator to finish ...
This is great as is. I feel a little dumb that I didn't think of it myself. The pilot light in my gas oven with the light on for a little extra heat makes a great dehydrator. I didn't have to...
This was wonderful! Made as directed, except used a jelly roll pan, covered with saran wrap, and spread the mixture slightly thicker. I dried two batches at a time, rotating the pans every hour....
I couldn't wait so I used a 250 degree oven for 2 hours. Used a wooden spoon to keep oven cracked to allow moisture to escape. Awesome!
you can also dry it in the sun, but it is nice to have some kind of net over it so that you don't get a lot of flies or other insects in it.
For those whose oven can only set to 170 degree the lowest, there is a way to trick the oven. There is a light button on the corner of your oven (mine is one the left hand side). You can see it ...

What's the real difference between Human Resources and Recruiters? Is there any difference at all? Ask a job seeker and they are not likely to have a great answer for that. In some cases it is hard to distinguish between the two because recruiting is just something that an HR manager has to do when there is an opening to fill. In other cases though, HR will outsource to an partner (like Hire EQ) so that the sourcing and screening is done for them. Larger corporations are generally able to employ people who can complete these separate yet coordinated efforts, but smaller companies can generally save time and money by either having one department do it all or by hiring an external recruiter.
While the lines sometimes blur between these groups, the philosophies by which each operate remain pretty distinct. Starting at the basic mission and pro/con level, here is a pretty good summary (adapted from CareerSherpa).
|Human Resources
|To enforce rules around personnel policies and procedures
|They find the right candidate for the job
|They know the organization or company
Next, I came across a few online forums and message boards where someone had posed a question about the differences between these groups. No shortage of people chimed in to try and describe the contrast. Some of the more interesting (and concise) analogies I found were:
The jaded perspective…
"Recruiters are trying to get you to take a job. HR is trying to take it away or underpay you for it."
The sports fan's explanation…
"Recruiters are the college coaches. HR is the NCAA."
The cut and dry…
"Recruiting gets you in the company. HR deals with you once you are there."
Where does Hire EQ fit in?
Well, we are, by design, recruiters. We focus on finding the right candidate, period. And, because we are an external resource, we allow clients' internal (human) resources the ability to stay focused on the day-to-day tasks while we source and screen new talent. Sourcing and screening doesn't make us unique, but our approach does. While most recruiters focus on a candidate's hard skills (years of experience, licensing, certifications) we are equally concerned with a candidate's soft skills (character, interpersonal abilities, emotional intelligence).
Sure, some other recruiters care about soft skills, but we have based our entire hiring philosophy on them! It's even in our name: HireEQ. (EQ is short for emotional quotient or emotional intelligence.) We strongly believe that assessing these skills up front gives us the ability to see through the good candidates straight to the great ones! And, no doubt, our clients will back us up on that.
In the end, Recruiters and HR Departments have similar goals and they deal in the same commodity—people. Both groups place a high value on that commodity, but for slightly different reasons. To add in my own analogy, "Recruiters focus on finding talent. HR is responsible for cultivating it."

He's a sexual dominant. She's sworn off sex. There's no way they can make a relationship work—or can they?
After surviving a traumatic event at age fifteen and the ensuing estrangement from her family, Natalie Bryant has worked for years to reinvent herself into the woman she is today—a happy teacher fresh out of college and enjoying her first winter in New York City with her faithful dog, Fluff, by her side. Natalie isn't expecting her life to change completely during a routine stroll through Greenwich Village on a blustery January day. But when Fluff breaks loose and charges into a park, Natalie gives chase and crashes into her destiny. Only after Fluff bites and draws blood from the man who accidentally knocked Natalie down does she realize Fluff has bitten the biggest movie star in the world.
He has no business being enthralled by the gorgeous, young, innocent teacher…
Natalie captivates Flynn Godfrey from the first moment their eyes meet while she is lying on the ground and he's fighting off her ferocious little beast of a dog. The only thing Flynn knows for certain is if he lets Natalie get away, he'll regret it for the rest of his life. After only a short time in her presence, Flynn is prepared to change who he is to be what she needs. He knows he's in big trouble when she says she won't sleep with him and he doesn't care if it means he gets to keep her in his life. But can he turn his back on the lifestyle that has defined him? Can he deny the desires that drive him to give Natalie the introduction to love and romance she so deserves? And most of all, can he keep his truth hidden from her long enough to have forever with her?

Pilot Andy Hill told police he had 'no recollection' of his tragic jet plane crash at the Shoreham Airshow in 2015.
Hill's crash while attempting a loop stunt in a Hawker Hunter led to the deaths of 11 men.
Hill, 54, of Standon Road, Buntingford, faces 11 charges of manslaughter by gross negligence. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
In statements issued to police in 2017, Hill said that he could not remember the events leading up to the disaster, or the crash itself.
The prosecution say that 'pilot error' and negligence led to the deaths of 11 men.
Hill's defence team have argued that he was cognitively impaired at some point during the flight and was not in control during the fateful 'bent loop' stunt.
The jury at the Old Bailey in London heard that Hill had submitted all required paperwork before the fateful Shoreham display.
Practices a 'considerable expense' for the aircraft owner
The trial heard that Hill would not normally practice his displays in the Hunter.
The pilot told police in 2017: "The Hunter was very expensive to operate and to use the aircraft for practice would have been a considerable expense for the owner
"A special practice would not normally be flown."
He said that he would only fly practice displays if it was required to meet Civil Aviation Authority rules.

'No recollection' of the tragedy at Shoreham
Hill said in his statement: "I have no recollection of the accident or the events leading up to it
"It is possible I experienced ALOC [altered level of consciousness].
"It is also possible that I may have suffered a cognitive impairment for other reasons or a medical issue."
The pilot said he did not remember blacking out from G forces at any point in his flying career.

Anti-G suit 'would not work'
Hill told police that he experienced lower levels of G-force in the Hawker Hunter than in other aircraft he flew.
However he noted that those levels of G-force were experienced for significantly longer stretches of time.
He added that he always flew the Hawker Hunter wearing an 'anti-G' flying suit, but that it sometimes 'would not work'.

Instrument checks
Hill told police that instrument checks during flights differ from pilot to pilot.
He added that he would not regularly check the G-force meter as it was hard to see from where he would sit.
Moving to other instruments he said: "I do not recall misreading an altimeter in my flying career."
The trial continues.
