Prof Parul Rishi, PhD in Psychology, is coming to Aix-Marseille from april 15th to may 16th, 2015, to work with OT-Med members on the topic of measuring climate change perception in a cross-cultural perspective, especially comparing France and India.
Behavioral sciences such as psychology have felt concerned very early and have always taken an active part in studying human motivations and perceptions in regard to human-environment interaction (Maloney & Ward, 1973 ; Oskamp, 2000 ; Schmuck & Schultz, 2002 ; Weiss & Girandola, 2010). Many studies in the field of risk perception show evidence that besides knowledge, representations and feelings people have of the state of the environment are equally if not more influent on their risk perception. Even if people are well informed, they might not be inclined to adapt their behavior (Bonnefoy, Weiss & Moser, 2010). Under this regard, climate change is particularly difficult to understand and perceive for people (Lammel, 2013). Climate change is seen as a slow and gradual process that has taken place over years and years and though the impacts are very much obvious in recent times, still the required urgency is not experienced by most of the people. One of the reasons behind is that gradual climatic changes do not elicit the required anxiety which people have because of a feeling of lack of control over catastrophic consequences, hence climate change is not perceived as an "immediate risk." For much of the general public, climate change is still an "unknown risk" which is new and has unforeseeable consequences and therefore hard to believe or feel at risk about it. The study of Climate Change Perception has gained in importance over the last years in France (http://meteoetclimat.fr/journees-sc..., 2013) and various tools are used to measure climate change perception, such as interviews and questionnaires.
Rishi and Mudaliar (2014) have developed a scale, the Climate Change Perception Inventory (CCPI) and used it to measure the climate change perception of Indian samples, assessing the cognitive understanding of climate change, climate stress and actions and reactions of coastal people with a special focus on behavioral adaptation and subjective well being. The study was conducted in four coastal cities of India, namely Mumbai, Chennai, Daman and Pondicherry keeping in mind the coastal hazards and vulnerability issues associated with Indian coastal cities (TERI, 1996).
The first aim of the stay of Professor Rishi is to work with Alexandra Schleyer-Lindenmann (UMR ESPACE) and Olivier Chanel (GREQAM) in order translate the CCPI into French and conceive a validation study along the classical lines of psychometric criteria. A second aim of the stay is to gain theoretical insight into French and Indian belief systems concerning human-environment interactions, and establish a state of the art of the question. From that on, an empirical study can be planned.
During her stay, Prof. Rishi will present her work to all interested members of OT-Med in a conference.

The Ringmaster from Circus Voltaire was taken off the table and scanned in 3D using a 3D laser scanner by randr.
3D model scans are fairly accurate but present a number of challenges before they can be useful in any type of gaming engine.
I 'polished' the 3d scan model, smoothing out some of the bumpiness that's a side effect of the scanning process. I re-mesh the model to give it an optimized mesh/topology and project the details of the high resolution polished scan.
Randr took a number of HD photos which I used to texture map the model, I've provided a 'complete map' and a 'diffuse map'. The diffuse map has no lighting or shadows baked into it in the event you want to either bake your own lighting/shadows or at some point lighting and shadows are handled by a 3D game engine (VPX11 maybe).
I've also provided a normals bump map which gives the model the illusion of much higher detail. I made the top section of the ring master a separate object in the event a separate material is needed for it or it need's some adjustment to fit the table nicely. So included are two objs, one of the ringmaster head and one for the "spell WoW" cylinder top.
Import objs into VP, apply appropriate texture maps.

These are instructions for making double-sided curtains. In Part 1, we made the curtain ties and sewed a contrasting border to the bottom of the curtains.
I based my pattern on the one here.
Mark 1/2 inch along both sides of the main fabric. I used a fabric marker that erases with water.
Fold over along the line and press.
See the turquoise line (above)? Mark 4 inches from the top of the main fabric pieces (on both folded over edges). Sew that edge down from the top of the fabric to that mark. You'll only be sewing those 4 inches down right now.
This will keep the curtain rod from catching on a raw edge, because this is where you'll later be sewing the curtain rod channel.
Can you see the stitch line (above)? Notice that the stitches are very close to the raw edge.
Layer your curtain pieces with right sides together (You'll do that later.). Sew the TOP and BOTTOM. Do not sew the sides together. Turn right side out and press.

Endowed Annual Events
The Sheila and Yossi Carmel Fund
The Yael Levin Writer-In-Residence Program
Each year, the Department of English and American Studies organizes and sponsors guest lectures, conferences, symposia, readings, and other events, open to the TAU community and to the public at large.
Below is information of events planned for this year. Please check this website for updated information on forthcoming events.
Annual Lecture in Memory of Talma Yzraely
The annal and lecture and Fund was established to commemorate Talma Yzraely, a greatly loved and respected teacher in the English Department, who passed away in January 2003. Talma Yzraely was the founder of the composition program, responsible for instilling fresh life into it every year, and for personally looking into every detail. An inspired teacher, she passionately cared about every student and knew how to elicit the best work from everyone. For those of us who were lucky enough to know her, her name is associated with the highest standards of excellence. The prize in her name would be a great honor for any student.
Annueal Lecture and scholarship ceremony in Memory of Nadav Vardi
The annal lecture and scholarship in memory of Nadav Vardi was endowed by Nadav's parents to commoerate and celebrate Nadav's life as a promising student in the department of English. Born in 1950, Nadav Vardi's life, like that of many young Israeli men, was cut abruptly short during the Yom Kippur War. Yet even in his brief life Nadav showed himself to be a boy of great sensitivity and promise. A Sabra, Nadav felt a great love for his country: even after having spent part of his high school years in New York City where his father did post-graduate studies, he insisted on entering the army here, despite his parents' suggestion that he complete his college education in the United States. Upon conclusion of his army service, Nadav's plan was to harness his obvious talent for writing to the field of journalism. He decided, however, to first get his B.A. in English literature at Tel Aviv University. Just before the start of what would have been his third year, Nadav was called up to his tank unit for reserve duty at the outbreak of the Yom Kippur War. He was killed in action on 16 October 1973. (Based on a text written by Reeva Goldberg).
The Sheila and Yossi Carmel Fund
The Sheila Carmel Fund was established in 1987 by her late husband, Colonel (Res.) Yossi Carmel, one of the founders of the Tel Aviv University and Vice Chairman of the Board of Governors for many years, to commemorate his wife, Sheila Carmel.
The lectures take place every May and are followed by a cocktail at the Sheila and Yossi Carmel Garden at the Tel Aviv University.
The Yael Levin Writer-In-Residence Program
The Program was established to commemorate Yael Levin and her love for English literature. The Program enables the English Department to host each yeara celebrated writer of the English speaking world. During his/her stay the author will give a public lecture, address University forums, teach student workshops and meet with interested circles to share his/her work. The visit can also provide an occasion for translating this writer's work into Hebrew.
An English graduate, Yael Levin taught English for some years before embarking on a long diplomatic career. As the English language was her passion her family felt this to be a most appropriate way to commemorate her.

Agoa Treaty
The African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) was signed into law by President Bill Clinton on May 18, 2000 as Title 1 of The Trade and Development Act of 2000. The law offers tangible incentives for African countries to continue their efforts to open their economies and build free markets. Participation in AGOA requires that beneficiary countries commit themselves to the establishment of a market-based economy, the rule of law and policies to reduce poverty. The First U.S.-Sub-Saharan African Trade & Economic Cooperation Forum "No nation in our time has entered the fast track of development without first opening up its economy to world markets. The African Growth and Opportunity Act is a road map for how the United States and Africa can tap the power of markets to improve the lives of our citizens." Trade.gov/agoa

Yesterday Circuit Judge Doug Martin in Washington County issued a summary judgment upholding Fayetteville's so-called "nondiscrimination" ordinance despite a new state law, Act 137 of 2015, prohibiting counties and cities from creating protected classes on any basis not contained in state law.
The City of Fayetteville recently enacted an ordinance granting special protections based on sexual orientation and gender identity; the ordinance carries significant, unintended consequences we have written about in the past. Attorneys from Northwest Arkansas as well as the Attorney General's Office brought a lawsuit against the city, alleging the city's ordinance violated Act 137, because it created new, protected classes of citizens not found in state law. Judge Martin, however, ruled in favor of the city ordinance.
In a nutshell, Judge Martin's ruling plays loose with facts and with the language of Arkansas state law. The ruling hinges on Arkansas' anti-bullying law intended to help prevent bullying in public schools; the anti-bullying law addresses bullying that is based on, among many other things, sexual orientation or gender identity. Judge Martin essentially claims this anti-bullying law gives the City of Fayetteville a basis in state law upon which to enact its ordinance.
The problem is Arkansas' anti-bullying statute does not create any protected classes. It is designed to protect students enrolled in a public school from physical harm and harassment. Judge Martin's ruling implies that because state law says a public school student should not be bullied due to their sexual orientation, sexual orientation amounts to a protected class under state law.
The same anti-bullying law says a public school student cannot be bullied because of his or her "academic status." By Judge Martin's logic, Arkansas' anti-bullying law arguably makes education level some sort of protected class, meaning a person might enjoy more or less protection depending on their intelligence or education.
The fact of the matter is Arkansas' anti-bullying law is irrelevant to this conversation. Arkansas' Civil Rights Act addresses protected classes of citizens. The state Civil Rights Act provides protections based on immutable characteristics like race and national origin. Sexual orientation and gender identity are never mentioned. Judge Martin's ruling drastically misconstrues state law in order to create new, protected classes. It's unthinkable.
Judge Martin's ruling likely will be appealed to the Arkansas Supreme Court. Depending on how the Arkansas Supreme Court rules, there is a slim possibility the issue could be appealed further in federal court. In the meantime, the Arkansas Legislature could opt to amend Act 137 to clarify cities and counties cannot create protected classes on a basis not found in the Arkansas Civil Rights Act.
One thing is for sure: This debate is far from over.

Planning for the long-awaited upgrade of the A303 and A358 in Somerset is already underway, the Roads Minister has told the County Council.
Andrew Jones was in the Somerset as part of a tour of the South West, looking at existing and potential projects involving the Department for Transport.
This included the planned upgrading of the A303 and A358 to dual carriageway, the Muchelney road-raising and Beer Wall flood-prevention works, and important works in and around Taunton.
Having travelled along the A303 and A358, the Minister met County Council representatives and local MPs at the Taunton Gateway Park and Ride where he confirmed that the wheels are already in motion for the upgrading of the key roads.
"It's a really important part of the next phase of the roads investment strategy and a project that is critical to the economy of the area," he said. "Just because there aren't diggers on the ground doesn't mean that things aren't moving. Lots of planning work and preparation for this is taking place. This is my first major trip as roads Minister and that I have come to see this area shows how important the scheme is."
Somerset County Council led a partnership of local authorities lobbying for several years for 'whole route improvement' of the A303 corridor. The improvements are seen as key to tackling congestion and promoting economic growth in the county and the entire South West.
"The Minister's comments about the A303 and A358 were very welcome," said Cllr David Fothergill, Cabinet Member for Highways. "This is a key issue not only for Somerset, but the entire South West, which is why we campaigned so hard for it and why we had so much support from partners like the Heart of the South West Local Enterprise Partnership.
"Having the chance to discuss this and other projects face-to-face with a minister is a valuable opportunity to make sure Somerset's needs and priorities are not overlooked."
After the A358, the Minister visited the railway station and the Firepool Lock development in Taunton, before driving along the recently completed Beer Wall works on the A372 and out to the raised-road at Muchelney.
Cllr David Hall, Cabinet Member for Cabinet Member for Business, Inward Investment and Policy, said:
"I'm delighted to have had the opportunity to discuss with the Minster the importance of improving local infrastructure to support the economy of Somerset and the South West. It was great to hear his firm commitment that the promised road improvements remain a key priority for government."

The purpose of this course is to round out the classroom experiences with actual Web development on a live site. Evaluation for this work will be determined, in part, by results such as usability and user acceptance.
Practicum in Web Development (3 credits)
Students who are not able to participate in an off-campus internship will be able to obtain real work experience within the Center. This practicum course will form teams of students with all of the tracks represented and provide the team with a complete (and real) Web site development problem. The Center will maintain contacts with local small businesses and non-profit organizations that are in need of Web presence or e-commerce support. Student teams will be assigned to these projects. Oversight by Center faculty will ensure that the students get an experience equivalent to an internship.
Internship in Web Development (3 credits)
The Center will work with companies participating in the standards committee and contributors to facilitate the hiring of interns for Web development jobs off-campus. The requirements for the internship are that it provide an actual team-oriented development experience, provide an intellectual challenge in analysis and design, and that there is constructive communication between the Center faculty and the job supervisor regarding performance.

My personal blog about the random things that are in my life: writing, knitting, and substitute teaching.
Friday, August 10, 2018
Door Monitor
CAD (computer aided drafting) class. The teacher is on jury duty, a trial that is scheduled to go a couple weeks.
Fourth period was the period. Every teacher has one. It's the class where the difficult students reside. In my case, it's the biggest class of the day, and half the class wasn't doing much in the way of classwork.
This was also the class right before lunch.
I generally give a three minute warning. ("We have three minutes left of class.") It's their cue to pack up and get ready to go. This group lined up at the door. The door opened, and a couple students slipped out. We still had a couple minutes before they should have been dismissed.
I was able to get them back. When they repeated this sneakiness the next day, I knew I was going to have to be a whole lot more proactive about this.
On the third day, I called the three minute warning from just beside the classroom door. No one bothered to line up. Success! It meant that I'd have to block the door for them near the end of the period, but that's not a big deal.
But, on the fourth day, it was buyout day. That's the day that students can get buyouts signed so they can be excused from attending school on Friday.
At the three minute warning, I was positioned by the door. I had signed the buyouts. But, of course, a student hadn't given me his earlier. He asked for me to sign it, which meant I had to leave my door position to get my pen.
Naturally, this is when the kiddos lined up at the door. And, of course, someone slipped out. (It was Ten Minutes.)
Of course, I stepped out to retrieve him. He attempted to hide behind the door. At that moment Elliot slipped out...
I got them back. I made them wait until the bell. But they're going to be tricky. On the bright side, they're the only ones that are doing this.

At what point did you look at your teaching certificate and think, yep, I'm a real teacher NOT a babysitter. :) God bless you for the work you do. It's important and you seem to take it in stride.ReplyDelete
I love what Alex said, but at least toddlers may be a bit more compliant than teenagers.ReplyDelete
Hmmm...if we waited at the door before the class was up I would have been in detention. Instead, I just looked at the clock until the buzzer soundedReplyDelete
I visualize you carrying a pen on your person at all times after that. :)ReplyDelete
Hi Liz - it'd drive me nutty!! But glad you are usually one step ahead of them ... cheers HilaryReplyDelete
They really want to make you work for that paycheck.ReplyDelete
Wow. Sounds like a class full of kittens.ReplyDelete
What a silly thing to do.ReplyDelete
Kids! Them not lining up when you stand by the door cracks me up.ReplyDelete
One can almost smell the hormones at that age.ReplyDelete
Do you ever just want to throw up your hands and SCREAM?ReplyDelete
Thank goodness for people like you!! I taught school for a short period of time and quickly learned I didn't have "the right stuff" to be a good teacher and I would be miserable doing it. The experience left me with a genuine respect for teachers and the work they do!ReplyDelete
Teenage boys *rolling eyes*ReplyDelete
I was one of *those kids* in high school. Leaving early meant I didn't have to fight the traffic getting out of the parking lot. I know – terrible. I didn't sneak out, though. I just told my teacher that my locker was on the other side of the school and I wouldn't have time to go there before catching the bus; only I never went to the bus (or my locker, like I said I was going to). *sigh* We can't all be perfect. 😛ReplyDelete
Hi Liz, if I were in your place, I would have completely run out of all my patience. You seem to have managed them reasonably well. Quite a task!ReplyDelete
I appreciate your comments.
I respond to comments via email, unless your profile email is not enabled. Then, I'll reply in the comment thread. Eventually. Probably.

Charlton Athletic have signed Georgia Griffin from Southend United, after the 17-year-old, netted an amazing 79 goals in just 41 matches over two seasons in the Essex County Girls' League.
After a successful trial match, where the Addicks say she was the stand-out player, Griffin joined the club's development side to bolster their strikeforce.
Griffin told cafcwomen.co.uk she was looking forward to "challenging myself" with a step up the leagues.
"It's completely different to grassroots [football]," she said after a particularly intense training session Sunday. "It's intense but good, I go home feeling really good.
"It was a little bit easy at grassroots so I thought it was time to challenge myself. My manager helped me find some clubs to trial with. I came to trial here and really liked it.
"I'm not expecting to do as well as I did at grassroots but I just want to settle in for the first bit of the season and really grow as a player as the season develops."
Hopefully I can score some goals here – that'd be really good. I need to work on that [though] because all those 50 goals pretty much came from inside the box and here they're testing me from outside the box and that's not me!."

Monthly challenge for OctoberAdd article to favourites
If you've been following our series of challenges you'll remember that in June we asked you to become aware of the recycling facilities in your area. In July we suggested you set up a recycling system in your home to ensure success. In August we asked you to look at your regular schedule to see where you could fit recycling into your lifestyle. While in September we wanted you to take action by saying no to plastic carrier bags by reusing your own shopping bags.
For October we want you to reduce your bills! We want you to say no to paper bills. There might even be a monetary incentive here as some companies offer you a reduction through paperless billing.
You can go paperless with most banks, BT and some electricity suppliers. If you have an internet connection then you can get access to your accounts 24 hours a day and pay everything online. Some companies offer better deals on internet only accounts. We have these set up for electricity and internet access.
As we highlighted in a story recently, the average person gets through 250kg of paper a year in catalogues, toilet paper, junk mail, receipts and bus tickets.
So why not check out the companies your with and see if you can switch to paperless billing?
I know it is not for everyone, some people prefer to pay cash at the Post Office or with cheques. But for those of you who already have standing orders or direct debits set up, why not take that extra step this month and say no to paper?

After plea to lying to special counsel, attorney gets 30 days (within-guideline) federal sentence
As reported here via Politico, "Special counsel Robert Mueller obtained the first sentence in his high-profile investigation Tuesday, as a Dutch attorney who admitted to lying to investigators was ordered into federal custody for 30 days." Here is more with an emphasis on sentencing details:
Former Skadden Arps lawyer Alex van der Zwaan, 33, pleaded guilty in February to lying to FBI agents about his contacts with former Trump campaign official Rick Gates and Konstantin Kilimnik, a suspected Russian intelligence operative who worked closely with Gates and former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort.
Attorneys for van der Zwaan pleaded with U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson to forgo any prison time, give him a fine and let him return to his London home by August, when his wife is due to give birth. However, the judge said some time in jail was appropriate given van der Zwaan's offense and the fact that he is a lawyer.
"We're not talking about a traffic ticket," she said. "This was lying to a federal officer in the course of a criminal investigation...This was more than a mistake. This was more than a lapse or a misguided moment."
In addition to the 30-day sentence, Jackson also imposed a $20,000 fine and two months of probation, but she said she would permit van der Zwaan to reclaim his passport and leave the country as soon as his month in custody is completed. It's not immediately clear where or in what type of facility he will serve the 30 days....
Van der Zwaan's defense asked that he be permitted to serve at a Bureau of Prisons center in Allenwood, Pennsylvania. The judge said Tuesday that she would recommend that, but federal policies usually dictate that a sentence of less than six months be served at a halfway house or at the D.C. jail.
One of van der Zwaan's defense attorneys, William Schwartz, argued that leniency was appropriate given the impact of the episode on the Dutch lawyer's family and on his legal career. He is likely to lose his license as a solicitor in the United Kingdom, Schwartz said.
But Jackson was largely unmoved by those arguments, noting that van der Zwaan came from an upbringing of privilege and lacked any hardship that could have mitigated his actions. Van der Zwaan is married to the daughter of a Ukrainian-Russian energy mogul, German Khan, whom Forbes ranks 138th on its list of billionaires, with a net worth of $9.3 billion.
"This glass was dropped on a very thick carpet, which has cushioned him," the judge said of the defendant. She credited him for supporting himself and his wife in recent years, although she noted that van der Zwaan's father-in-law has provided funds to the couple since the attorney was fired from his job....
The fact that prosecutors are not requiring future cooperation from van der Zwaan suggests that they don't see him as a crucial player in the Trump-Russia saga. Prosecutor Andrew Weissmann said the defendant's reason for lying remains murky. "To be candid, we don't know what was motivating the defendant," Weissmann said. "We count on people to tell us the truth. We count on people to turn over documents that are responsive."
Defense attorneys said he lied to Mueller's team because he feared being fired if Skadden found out he had recorded work-related conversations without permission, including at least one with former Obama White House Counsel Greg Craig, a Skadden partner who oversaw the Tymoshenko report. Van der Zwaan was ultimately fired by the firm late last year, after his inaccurate statements to the Mueller team.
Weissmann said that concern about the consequences at Skadden could have been part of the explanation, but there was "reason to doubt that is simply the sole motive." Mueller's team offered no specific recommendation to Jackson on an appropriate sentence in the case. Weissmann said that was the special counsel office's policy, which he also followed as a federal prosecutor in Brooklyn.
Van der Zwaan spoke to the court only briefly during the sentencing hearing at the federal courthouse near Capitol Hill. "Your honor, what I did was wrong and I apologize to the court for my conduct," he said. He also apologized to his family for his actions.
Later in the hearing, Jackson said she did not detect great remorse. "The expressions of remorse, even those made on his behalf, were somewhat muted to say the least," the judge declared shortly before she imposed the sentence.
Jackson also rebuffed Schwartz's argument that van der Zwaan's freedom was curtailed in recent months as he spent his days at a "residential hotel" awaiting legal proceedings. "I'm not really moved by the complaint that he is in his hotel room with nothing to do," the judge said, saying he was not in custody and could have been doing community service to keep busy.
"This glass was dropped on a very thick carpet" is a quote I am going to have to remember. And though not mentioned in this article, I am pretty sure the calculated guideline range in this matter was 0 to 6 months, so perhaps we ought also remember that the first sentence imposed in this matter emerging from the special counsel was a within-guideline (and not-bottom-of-the-range) sentence.

"We're not talking about a traffic ticket," she said. "This was lying to a federal officer in the course of a criminal investigation...This was more than a mistake. This was more than a lapse or a misguided moment."
Correct. Lying to the FBI in the course of a criminal investigation was, is, and remains a patriotic duty.
Posted by: Joe Mccarthy | Apr 3, 2018 7:56:51 PM
I agree. It is a patriotic duty to lie to the US Stasi, the Columbia Law School radicalized traitor to our country, Robert Mueller.
He should be arrested for his signing off on the Uranium I deal.
Failing arrest for treason, he should be investigated for sexual harassment.
Welcome to the Inquisition 2.0, lawyer assholes. The federal prosecutor spent $2 million prosecuting Martha Stewart for saying, she did not a receive a phone call, to FBI agents in an informal conversation in her home. She got 5 months prison, 5 months house arrest and 2 years parole. That was not for insider trading, the predicate crime, but for saying she did not receive a phone call. Insider trading is itself not even a crime, but a favor, a benefit to the shareholder.

I'd have thought we could all agree that lying in an investigation -- no matter the bona fides of the investigation -- is wrong.
Posted by: DRF | Apr 4, 2018 11:27:50 AM
I'd have thought that we could all agree that the government sticking its nose wherever it wants without any probable cause, or worse, made up lies -- is wrong.
Posted by: albeed | Apr 4, 2018 11:35:41 AM
Albeed, speaking of a hypothetical situation in which those things are so, we can certainly agree that the government would be wrong. It would still be wrong to lie to an agent during that investigation. The former does not justify the latter. If an investigation were improper, the remedy is not self help but a request for judicial intervention.

One more great moment of justice thanks to the Trump Administration.

Is there mandatory sentence for lying to FBI OR Mueller?

Teacher of the year 2012 : "The lectures will be as aerobic classes
Luleå Studentkår at Luleå University of Technology, each year is awarding a prize for the Teacher of the Year. This year the award goes to a teacher whose ambition are - enjoyable teaching and independent learners who dare to challenge the teacher in knowledge.
For the seventh consecutive year Luleå Student kår is awarding prize Teacher of the Year. A prize awarded to teachers by students in the Faculty of Philosophy meet the criteria - commendable deeds teacher, teaching skills and dedication to the students.
This year the choice was a very popular teacher, Jan Norman, Lecturer at the Department of Economics, Technology and Society.
- I am truly honored by this award and it means more than many might think, says a delighted Jan Norman.
What does the Year Teacher think about on his own teaching and the principles he follows? Jan Norman, who teaches Jurisprudence, where mediation and negotiation are his areas of expertise, has a clear thread running through his teaching with focus on - security, joy, intimacy and respect. He says that if you do not feel comfortable in class - with the subject, tutor and classmates, it is difficult to learn anything. He seeks simply, basic Maslow.
- Creation of "report", contact, to "bond" is necessary. No one should have to feel alone - because the work is done in groups, where you can get support and help others, says Jan Norman.
He also thinks that you should get help and support from your supervisor on short notice. Respect yourself and others in the classroom is central to him, whether it be abilities, limitations, deadlines, other people's time, values, gender issues, LGBT or otherwise. Facilitators and participants should be equals, with the opportunity to learn from each other alternately.
Likewise, the joy of a prerequisite for learning anything, believes Jan Norman. It should be playful and a lot of laughter in training.
- You should find it fun to get to class, the way you look forward to aerobics classes, to dance, be with others, learn something new and come out with a smile, says Jan Norman.
Moreover, he believes that students should be profit maximisers - not loss minimizeers and everyone's ambition must be to make at least 6-8 errors a day - the objective must be to achieve their incompetence level - otherwise, he or she has not tried.
- It's like weight training, it is only when it begins to hurt as you lift from one stage to another, says Jan Norman.
- The most important of course is not to be the best - without bothering the most, to be most active - it will be a struggle to answer questions and inform others what they know, or a struggle to get answers from others in such you do not understand, like Jan Norman.
He emphasizes that at Luleå University of Technology is an incredible number of more affordable Årers teacher and that one reason that he just won the award is in addition to the students themselves to the daily teaches him enormously, although all the staff around him.
The motivation of the students that Jan Norman receives the award Teacher of the Year 2012,:
"Jan Norman's main ambition is to teach the student to teach himself. January always put the students in the first place, his appearance and contribute greatly to that all students in the classroom feel welcome and involved in teaching.
Jan's courses are year after year, very appreciated by the students, thanks to the high quality, Jan's ability to listen to students and his ability to teach, which he places a great responsibility on the students, as he always is to provide support and guidance .
His vision is for students to become better than him in those areas he teaches and he does his utmost to students should have the opportunity to learn as much as possible. This makes him a worthy winner of Teacher of the Year 2012 ".
The prize is awarded at the party ice 26 May in Aula Aurora.

Maria Cioni was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. She received her doctorate in sixteenth century British social-legal history from Cambridge University. Her thesis, which focused on women, was published and she also contributed chapters to anthologies in this field. In 2001, while listening to a radio broadcast on immigrant children, Maria had an epiphany: she too had lived an immigrant life as a first-generation Canadian. Soon thereafter, she began research on her Italian immigrant father's life and the fulfilment of his culinary dream–to open an Italian restaurant, the first in Calgary, in March1949. Spaghetti Western: How my Father Brought Spaghetti to the West, published in 2006, focuses on culture, cuisine, Calgary and the Italian community there (1926-1958). In addition to writing, Maria has had a successful career in government, teaches online courses in international education; as well as, teaching Communication at the University of Toronto. Maria is a founding member and current Secretary of The Italian-Canadian Archives Project (ICAP) established in 2009.

Disgusting. I apparently missed this when it happened, she's noteworthy today for her lame and lamebrained attempt to defend Obama's friendship with Weather Underground dickwads Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. Die in a fire, lady.
On Sept. 11, Wurtzel, who usually gets up at the crack of noon, was asleep when her mother called to say a plane had just crashed into the World Trade Center. "My main thought was: What a pain in the ass."
Her apartment was at ground zero, on Greenwich Street, south of Chambers. She could see the twin towers from her window. Or she could have, if she had bothered to get out of bed.
Then the second plane hit, and more people called. Wurtzel finally hauled herself up in time to watch one tower collapse. "I had not the slightest emotional reaction," she recalls. "I thought: 'This is a really strange art project.' "
Wurtzel takes a tiny bite of monkfish and ponders the worst terrorist attack in New York's history. "It was a most amazing sight in terms of sheer elegance. It fell like water. It just slid, like a turtleneck going over someone's head."
She takes another bite of monkfish. "It was just beautiful. You can't tell people this. I'm talking to you because you're Canadian."
Then her windows blew in. Airplane chunks landed on her roof. Wurtzel crawled into the basement and was later removed from the building. To this day, she can't understand why everyone else was so upset. "I just felt, like, everyone was overreacting. People were going on about it. That part really annoyed me."Wurtzel became hysterical only when she realized she wouldn't be allowed back to fetch her cat.

Her reaction when she could not retrieve her cat pretty sums up her mental disorder. Hopefully she will also see the beauty in the artful display of self immolation and particpate fully in it.
elizabeth wurtzel is noteworthy for writing a book on her clinical depression. one effect of that is the inability to feel empathy. sounds to me like she hasn't cleared that hump. and I might add is the opposite of "bleeding heart liberalism" which you don't seem to be a fan of either, no?

Season 1(Korea):Soo was defeated by Zest(4-3)
Season 1(America):Hyun won against Oz(4-2) [The only exception]
Season 2(Korea):Soo was defeated by Classic(4-2)
Season 3(Korea):Soo was defeated by Innovation(4-2)
I have no interest about sc2 outside of korean players. So I am not counting World championship series from 2015.
2015 wcs:
Season 2 GSL: Byul was defeated by Rain (4-2)
Season 3 GSL: Byul was defeated by Innovation (4-2)
Season 3 SSL: Byul was defeated by hero (4-2)
This is the overall performance by zerg players in the wcs tournament final except Life. Then Life got banned. I stopped watching sc2 esports because I support zerg in the tournament and since Life is gone zerg has no chance. Although trend continued!
wcs 2016:
Season 1 SSL: Dark won vs Stats.(4-2)
This is the 1st tournament after the release of LOTV. Meta wasn't developed properly. Dark's win was just an accident.
Season 1 Cross Final: Dark was defeated by Stats (3-1)
Season 2 SSL and Cross Final: zvz
Global Final: Dark was defeated by Byun (4-2)
wcs 2017:
Season 1 GSL: Soo was defeated by Stats (4-2)
Season 1 SSL: Solar was defeated by Innovation (4-1)
More than 1 year has passed since I stopped watching SC2 esports. After a long break I watched the following game:
Season 2 GSL: Soo was defeated by Gumiho (4-2)
This game just has validated my decision.
These losers/chokers(Soo, Dark, Byul…….) are nothing but painful to watch. Goodbye SC2.
이미 병재가 미리보는 지에셀 결승인 올리모리그에서 4:0으로 윤수 박살냈었어. 지금하고 거의 똑같은 빌드로. 이건 윤수가 못한거도 있지만 병재가 상성을 잘 파악한 거야.그리고 전통적으로 저그는 200싸움으로 가면 어느종족하고도 이기기가 힘들어. 알잖아. 그래서 초기에 집중하는거.

Oh my god, Soo has lost again?!

- PD/GWSS Board News
In Remembrance Past PD/GWSS Board Chairman Ben Drake
Updated: Nov 15, 2019
Past PD/GWSS Board Chairman Ben Drake has died following a two-year struggle with cancer. He was also a former member of the California State Board of Food and Agriculture. In these capacities and in so many more local and statewide positions of leadership in agriculture, Ben gave freely of his time and his experience in service to his beloved Temecula Valley and the larger agricultural community. Ben was instrumental in the formation, funding, and development of the original Pierce's Disease Control Program, and that was merely the beginning of his story, his contributions, and his value for our organization.
Ben knew grapes. He knew water. He knew a thing or two about avocados and 4-H and very long list of other topics in the agricultural realm. But he was also quick with a joke or a good story. A staff member here at CDFA recalls first meeting Ben back in 1999, shortly after the discovery of Pierce's disease in Temecula vineyards. It was a time of high stress and dire predictions, and tensions were high. But as Ben invited several car-loads of colleagues through the front gate at his place, the first thing he did was talk about his kids. As busy as life was, he had a firm and healthy grasp on priorities.
Those dire early predictions about the future of his local vineyards have not come true, and Ben's own efforts played no small part in ensuring that. For those of you who were fortunate enough to serve on the PD/GWSS Board with Ben or otherwise enjoyed his company, you know what we have all lost – and what we gained from his presence, his service, and his friendship.
Raise your glasses high. Thank you, Ben.

G.NA and Secret's Hyosung Show Early Body Development in Old Photos
On March 28, old photos of G.NA and Secret's Hyosung became a hot topic online. In the photos posted on an online community board under the title, "G.NA and Hyosung were glamorous and had honey thighs even during trainee days," G.NA and Hyosung appear to be in their early teens, yet show their fast body development, impressing many fans who have been infatuated with their sexy bodylines lately.
The photos come from a magazine in 2005, featuring the two stars as the finalists for Mnet's audition program, "Battle Legend." G.NA, who's earned the nickname "G-cup Glamour," show her quick growth spurt from her young teen days, as her voluptuous body line is apparent in the photos. Hyosung, likewise, has an impressive combination of a baby face and a hot bodyline, fitting her "bagle-girl" nickname.
Back then, both G.NA and Hyosung got eliminated in the final round of "Battle Legend." But they soon signed a contract under the same agency as Shinhwa, and formed a group with After School's Uee and Wonder Girls' Yoobin. However, that group never made its debut, as it was disbanded and all five members signed contracts with other agencies.
Netizens who came across the photos commented, "Jun Hyo Sung looks like a little baby," "G.NA looks exactly the same," and "They are the latest sexy queens in K-Pop."

Edmunds' Expert Review
The 2015 Audi RS 7 is the hottest edition of Audi's coupe-style, four-door A7. With outrageous performance, impressive refinement and surprising practicality, the RS 7 is one of the world's elite sedans.
Vehicle overview
If you've always wanted a blisteringly fast sports car but you couldn't accept the inevitable sacrifice in practicality, the 2015 Audi RS 7 just might be your ideal ride. Based on the relatively mild-mannered A7 hatchback sedan, the RS 7 boasts a turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine that belts out 560 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. For perspective, that's 10 more hp and 118 more lb-ft than the flagship V10 engine in Audi's R8 supercar. Even though the RS 7 weighs nearly 900 pounds more than the R8 V10 Plus, they both sprinted to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds at our test track.
So that's the RS 7's wild side. Fortunately, it also has a practical side. With its standard adaptive air suspension and cosseting seats, the Edmunds "A" rated RS 7 is serene and comfortable at all speeds. If you can resist the constant urge to bury your foot in the loud pedal, the RS 7 will return an EPA-estimated 19 mpg in combined driving. Thanks to its hatchback trunk and folding rear seatbacks, the RS 7 also offers considerably more cargo space than even a traditional sedan. The two-passenger backseat is the only real weak spot, as the sloping rear roof line limits headroom for taller riders, and there's no middle seat for a fifth occupant.
If you're fortunate enough to be shopping in this segment, you've got some enticing options. The 2015 Porsche Panamera Turbo also provides astounding performance, and it handles better than the RS 7 at the limit, though it's considerably pricier and arguably less stylish. The 2015 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG and the 2015 BMW M6 Gran Coupe are serious contenders for the four-door-supercar crown, but they lack the RS 7's hatchback versatility and they suffer from comparable rear-headroom shortages. You really can't go wrong here, but with its diverse strengths and almost nonexistent weaknesses, the 2015 Audi RS 7 is one of the very best cars you can buy.
2015 Audi RS 7 models
The 2015 Audi RS 7 comes in a single well-equipped trim level that's similar to the Prestige trim of the regular Audi A7, albeit with a number of performance-themed upgrades. Unlike the A7 sedan, which has a three-passenger rear seat, the RS 7 has two individual rear seats, meaning a limit of four passengers instead of five.
Standard features include 20-inch wheels, LED headlights, an adaptive sport-tuned air suspension, a sport differential, a sunroof, a power liftgate, auto-dimming mirrors, front and rear parking sensors, a basic collision mitigation system (Pre-Sense Basic and Pre-Sense Rear), a blind-spot monitor and keyless entry and ignition.
Inside you'll find ambient LED lighting, leather upholstery, heated eight-way power front sport seats (with four-way lumbar adjustment), a power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, driver memory settings, four-zone automatic climate control, Audi Drive Select (providing driver control over steering, suspension, transmission and exhaust calibrations), Audi's MMI infotainment system (with a console-mounted controller that includes touchpad functionality), an 8-inch display screen, a rearview camera, voice controls, a navigation system, a head-up display, Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity, Audi Connect (providing enhanced Web-based navigation and information services along with WiFi hotspot capability) and a 14-speaker Bose audio system with a CD player, satellite and HD radio and an iPod interface.
There are numerous options packages available for the 2015 Audi RS 7. The Driver Assistance Plus package adds adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning/keeping assist, a corner-view (front and rear) parking camera system and the upgraded Pre-Sense Plus collision mitigation system with automatic braking. The Dynamic package adds a "Dynamic Ride Control" active sport suspension that replaces the air suspension, variable-ratio steering and sport exhaust with black tailpipes.
The Individual Contour Seating package features upgraded leather upholstery, "multicontour" front seats (with ventilation and massage functions), passenger memory settings and comfort rear seats. The Cold Weather package adds heated rear seats and a heated steering wheel. Finally, there are several Optic packages that alter the finish and appearance of the car's mirrors, grille, lower air intakes and rear diffuser.
Stand-alone options include 21-inch wheels, power-closing doors, a night vision system, a simulated suede headliner, rear side airbags and a 15-speaker Bang & Olufsen surround-sound audio system.
2015 Highlights
Performance & mpg
The RS 7 is powered by a turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 that sends 560 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque to all four wheels. An eight-speed automatic transmission, a self-locking center differential and a sport rear differential are standard.
During Edmunds performance testing, an RS 7 leapt to 60 mph in an outlandishly quick 3.4 seconds. There's hardly any penalty in terms of fuel economy either, as the EPA estimates you'll get 19 mpg combined (16 city/27 highway) compared to the 310-hp A7's 21 mpg combined. In other words, you're giving up just 2 mpg overall to get 250 extra horses.
Standard safety equipment on the 2015 Audi RS 7 includes antilock disc brakes, stability control, front and rear parking sensors, a rearview camera, a blind-spot warning system, front-seat side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags and front knee airbags. Rear side airbags are a stand-alone option, while the optional Driver Assistance Plus package bundles lane-departure warning/keeping assist, night vision with pedestrian detection and adaptive cruise control with full stop-and-go functionality.
The standard Audi Pre-Sense Basic collision mitigation system tightens the seatbelts and closes the windows if a potential frontal collision is detected, while the Pre-Sense Rear function scans for potential rear collisions. The Driver Assistance Plus package comes with Audi Pre-Sense Plus, which can automatically apply the brakes to mitigate the severity of an imminent crash.
In Edmunds brake testing, the Audi RS 7 confirmed its sporting credentials with repeated stops from 60 mph in a short 108 feet.
The 2015 Audi RS 7 excels in a wide range of driving scenarios. Cruising on the highway at 70 mph, you'll barely hear the engine. In fact, it's one of the quietest sedans we've ever tested at this speed. But when the mood strikes, you can mash the gas and unleash the supercar within. With a simple tap of your toe, the eight-speed automatic seamlessly switches gears, the exhaust bellows menacingly and a wave of turbocharged torque presses you into your seat for as long as you dare. Few cars of any stripe can match the RS 7's one-two punch of confident luxury and face-flattening acceleration.
If you want the best of both worlds in a single Drive Select setting, leave it in Auto instead of Comfort or Dynamic. We conducted some handling tests in Auto, and the results essentially matched our best numbers in Dynamic (the most aggressive mode of the three). In addition, the Auto setting proved just as comfortable as Comfort for everyday driving, providing muted engine and exhaust notes, seamless shifts and a supple ride -- even with our test car's optional 21-inch wheels.
In general, the RS 7's interior is typical Audi, with a handsome design, tight construction and excellent materials throughout. The RS 7 also benefits from RS-specific carbon-fiber inlays, aluminum pedals, many other RS-themed flourishes and ambient LED lighting. Audi's familiar Multi Media Interface (MMI) system controls entertainment, communication and navigation functions via a dash-mounted pop-up screen and a control dial surrounded by buttons on the center console. The system features logical menus, crisp graphics and a touchpad to increase functionality. Other systems like BMW's iDrive or Mercedes' COMAND are a bit easier to learn, but once you've got the hang of things, the MMI system is one of the best available.
Whether you stick with the standard front sport seats or opt for the multicontour comfort seats, you'll find them supportive during long trips and spirited back-road runs alike. But due to the RS 7's aggressively raked roof line, backseat headroom is tight even for adults of average height. Legroom is abundant, however, and there's something to be said for the individual comfort of the twin rear bucket seats versus a traditional three-across bench seat.
The RS 7's hatchback design permits easier loading of larger items that just won't fit through the trunk opening of a conventional sedan. The space itself is generous, too, measuring 24.5 cubic feet behind the rear seatbacks. That's almost 10 cubic feet more than rivals like the CLS, and the RS 7 offers even more when you fold those seatbacks down.
