Debbie Woo
First introduced to yoga whilst pregnant with her first child, Debbie was drawn to the calm and relaxing effects of yoga. Over the years, two more children came along and she felt the challenge of balancing the demands of young children while taking care of her own needs. Each time Debbie practiced yoga, she would feel her physical and mental stress letting go. She believed strongly that yoga held the missing pieces to what she was looking for; exercise, stretching, relaxation and overall wellness. She found her way to yoga class whenever possible, but often woke up in the early morning hours to practice yoga and meditation before the rest of the house woke up. It was during these times that Debbie found her solace at last. Excited to share her passion for yoga with others, she eagerly pursued yoga teacher training. She hopes to share this philosophy, that we can find our own happiness and peace through dedication to ourselves and our yoga practice.
Lori Flynn
When Lori and her family relocated from their native UK to live in the USA in 2010, it was Yoga that helped her to find clarity and peace during a challenging period of transition. Yoga was also paramount to preparing, then restoring and strengthening her body during and after her third pregnancy in 2011. The immensely positive impact Yoga has had on Lori's life piqued a desire to share these benefits through Teaching, to make accessible to others the physical strength, emotional stability and spiritual ease that Yoga brings. In 2012 Lori came to Tokyo with her husband and 3 kids and it is here, at Be Yoga Japan, that Lori embarked on a new journey to share her love of Yoga.

The answer is yes: charter schools have to take state tests.
Charter schools are public schools. Though they are independently run, charter schools are free and open to all, and are subject to several of the same state requirements as other public schools—including tests.
The federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 requires all students in a state to be assessed annually in reading in math and once in high school. It also requires states to have a single state-wide accountability system for all of its public schools, including charter schools. Charter schools have to meet state accountability requirements, as well as the requirements in its charter agreement.
Unlike most traditional public schools, charter schools can be closed if their students don't do well enough on their tests.
Charter school leaders are given autonomy over staffing, model, curriculum, budgeting, and schedules to meet the individualized needs of their students. A foundational tenant of the charter school model is meeting high standards of accountability in exchange for flexibility in the school's approach to education.
Charter schools are held accountable to state academic standards, ensuring a high-quality education for their students. Though efforts have been made to reduce testing for all students, students attending charter schools have to take state tests, just like at all public schools.
Melinda Tolliver is the manager of digital media at the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools

Do NC public charter schools give up to date MAP TESTS?
Can they use a 2017 MAP TEST for a 2020-2021 school year?
RE: MAP Testing
Hi Sheila - thanks for reaching out! At the national level, we're not sure about that but we'd recommend reaching out to the North Carolina charter support organization (https://ncpubliccharters.org). Have a great day!

J. Prince Convinced Drake and Kanye West They Can Save Lives with Concert06/16/2022
Drake and Ye wouldn't be getting ready for tonight's huge Larry Hoover benefit concert at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum if music mogul J. Prince hadn't stepped in to broker their peace treaty … and he's telling TMZ how he pulled it off.
The Rap-A-Lot Records honcho says there was nothing easy about getting the 2 hip-hop giants to lay down their swords after years of sniping that got incredibly personal. When J. Prince joined us on "TMZ Live," he said his choice of words mattered more than ever.
You'll recall … Prince was side by side with Ye when he recorded a video last month, extending an olive branch to Drake by asking him to join him for a concert that would raise awareness for Larry Hoover's case, in particular, and for criminal justice reform in general.
After that, he got both men face-to-face at Drizzy's Toronto mansion, and Prince says he had to use a "special lingo to reach these guys' hearts."
He says he stressed to Drake … he had a chance to set an example for all of hip-hop about how to settle beefs peacefully. As he put it to us, "this is a situation that could save lives."
J. Prince was quick to give Hoover himself credit for suggesting the concert … and Larry Hoover Jr. echoed that when we saw him Wednesday in Los Angeles. He says his father — who's been locked up since 1995 for a murder, drug conspiracy and extortion — didn't want to see Drake and Ye possibly lose their lives to violence.
We also tried to get a preview of what kinda spectacle to expect at the Coliseum tonight, but watch … Larry's playing it pretty coy.

Text – Psalm 22:
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so far from helping me, from the words of my groaning?
2 O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer;
and by night, but find no rest.
3 Yet you are holy,
enthroned on the praises of Israel.
4 In you our ancestors trusted;
they trusted, and you delivered them.
5 To you they cried, and were saved;
in you they trusted, and were not put to shame.
6 But I am a worm, and not human;
scorned by others, and despised by the people.
7 All who see me mock at me;
they make mouths at me, they shake their heads;
8 "Commit your cause to the Lord; let him deliver—
let him rescue the one in whom he delights!"
16 For dogs are all around me;
a company of evildoers encircles me.
My hands and feet have shriveled;
17 I can count all my bones.
They stare and gloat over me;
18 they divide my clothes among themselves,
and for my clothing they cast lots.
Lenten Meditation:
Clearly, there is no other Psalm in the Bible that more nearly expresses the pain and torment of Jesus' experience of betrayal and torture. The cross was and is one of the most awful forms of execution known to man. Lasting excruciatingly long amounts of time, a victim hung between heaven and earth gasping and screaming in pain.
So it's not difficult to image why this Psalm came to mind as Jesus cried out "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" The psalmist describes his pain as scorn and ridicule from his enemies, mouth as dry as dust, watching his clothes being divided among soldiers, and the humiliation of being stared at, naked and vulnerable.
In this midst of all this, the psalmist calls his readers to fear the Lord, to glorify him, stand in awe of him, and to recognize God's deliverance of God's people. It's an interesting tension, feeling abandoned by God on the one hand and yet seeing God's faithfulness on the other.
On this "Good Friday," we are invited by the reading for today to remember Christ's utter abandonment. This was a state he entered into of his own power and will. There was no one else who would remove its suffering from him, else there would be an end to the war he engaged against death.
The more we think about this the more compelled we are to believe that whatever inconvenience we experience because of our discipleship to Christ is of no consequence besides the abandonment and pain of the Christ.
Dear Christ, on this day we worship and fall humbly before you, recognizing the extent to which you have loved us and given your life for us. On this Good Friday fill our hearts with thoughts of your death. We know it ends in victory, but don't let us forget the cost. In your name we pray this. Amen.

COLBERT COUNTY, Ala. – Accused killer Brian Lansing Martin's new attorney has filed a motion to block any broadcasting, recording, or photographing of his future court proceedings.
Rebecca Green Thomason also wants to bar trial participants from commenting or releasing any information to members of the media.
Martin is accused of killing William Mealback Jr., in Muscle Shoals, then shooting two officers during a shootout later on Oct. 1, critically wounding Sheffield Police Sgt. Nick Risner, who later died at Huntsville Hospital.
Thomason filed a total of four motions Tuesday, including one asserting Martin's right to be present during his trial and another that asks for a court reporter to transcribe all proceedings.
Colbert County District Judge Chad Coker has not yet ruled on any of the motions.
Martin is facing 10 charges, including four counts of capital murder in the deaths of Sgt. Risner and William Mealback, Jr.
Sheffield Police Lt. Max Dotson was also shot and has filed a lawsuit against Martin, alleging Martin's actions caused him physical harm, mental anguish, and emotional distress.
Martin's preliminary hearing is scheduled for December 3. He's being housed in the Morgan County Jail.

Fashion or mistakes?
The Met Gala took place Monday in New York, and per usual, the fashion statements made for some eye-opening hits and misses. So which celebs made the biggest splash—the boldest, wildest choices—as they hit the 2021 Met Gala Red Carpet? Let's take a look at some of those who had flashes of elegance, and those who certainly walked on the wild side.

A few years back I was invited to the Yukon by the Canadian Tourism Commission to moderate a panel of bloggers. At that event I was introduced as 'The Grandmother of Women's Travel' for the work I've done on behalf of female travelers.
After the event, a blogger from Beijing came running up to me, huffing and puffing and asked: "Are you really Evelyn Hannon?"
"Yes," I answered.
"Can I have a photo with you," he asked, barely able to catch his breath.
"Of course," I said.
After we were done, I asked why it was so important for him to have this picture.
He looked at me, smiled...and said: "Because I heard you were the oldest blogger in the world."
Actually, he was close to being right. I'm a single, self-supporting woman travel writer, approaching my 76th birthday. Today, as a healthy, still energetic journalist, it remains easy for me to stay in the work force, but yet, I'm realistic. I do know that the day will come when I will have to (perhaps even want to) face my retirement. It's interesting (and a bit scary) for me to think beyond this career that I love. How will I spend my post retirement years? What type of lifestyle do I want? Where do my priorities lie?
When I was in my 50s and traveling the world doing writing assignments, I had a clear vision of semi-retirement at 60. My children would already be adults, living their own lives and I'd begin living my dream of being a local in the major cities of the world. Vivid scenarios of this lifestyle danced in my head. I could see some years spent working in an off-beat job in Paris, teaching English as a second language in Barcelona, or maybe even taking cooking classes in Israel. Such were my sweet imaginings waiting to come to fruition!
Ha, ha, ha. Silly me. In my sixties, my first grandchild was born and then three more followed. Poof! My retirement ideas of moving abroad went up in smoke. It would have taken wild horses to separate me from those new babies. Now I was thinking ahead to their birthday parties, taking them on trips, spoiling them silly and babysitting when their parents needed me.
Today, fifteen years later, my reality is different once again. My grandchildren no longer need me in the same way. They are busy with their own friends and most of their spare time is taken up with school work and extra-curricular activities. Thank goodness, really! Their energy level is far greater than mine. In fact, my female pals and I joke that soon we're all going to share a big house and hire gorgeous young men to take care of our shopping, cooking and cleaning needs. Joking aside (whether you are 35, 45, or 75), all of us need to sit down and think hard about our retirement priorities.
How you'll spend your TIME, rather than your MONEY is the focus of the Retirement Designers reality series hosted by RBC's resident Retirement Designer, Bill Hill. This video shows the surprising results when one Canadian couple nearing their own retirement opens up to each other about what they really want to do once they leave the work force. Check it out. Like my own plans over the years, some of your dreams might need a reality check and some finer financial tuning. See it here:
After watching the video, try out RBC's fun, interactive tool to help figure out your personal lifestyle goals, what will keep you active, engaged and (most important of all) enthusiastic about getting out of bed every morning. There are also retirement tips and ideas offered by experts, and a helpful downloadable checklist. Even if you can't read it all today, bookmark it for the next time you begin fretting about the subject.
Let's face it. Not one of us has a say in what life has in store for us. However, with careful preparation we can do our darndest to live long and to make our retirement years as chock full of life as possible.

Pick up and drop off locations are important in all shipping but power only freight companies need this information to determine the deadhead. Deadhead refers to the distance the driver will have to travel in order to get to the shipment. Additionally, the type of trailer/equipment plays a role in the final quote, especially if it's some kind of specialty trailer. Lastly, the weight, commodity, and dimensions are needed to provide an accurate quote.
Specialty Power Only Services
- Over-dimensional – There is a lot of over-dimensional freight that is best suited for power only shipping, for example, large construction equipment that needs to go from one construction site to another.
- Hazardous – Shipping hazardous material is available via power only. As long as the driver is trained to carry hazardous material and all of the effective processes and compliance rules are understood then the freight is good to be shipped.
Tips for Power Only Shipping
Power only is great for moving trailers within a company's own fleet, especially during times of surge freight. So if you have a busy time coming up try to schedule with a power only freight company ahead of time in order to get the best rates. Additionally, you want to ensure that there is a good line of communication. The trailers are usually just being dropped off and left there so you want to ensure that the driver knows where the trailer needs to be.
Power Only FAQs
- Should I hire numerous drivers to move all of my trailers at once?
This will usually end up being more expensive than just hiring one driver to go back and forth (depending on the deadhead distance). If it is a short run then it's better to just hire out 1 driver for the day to go back and forth.
- Is Power only shipping always cheaper?
It is not, even though you own the trailer power only shipping can be more expensive than shipping a dry van for the same distance. This mostly comes down to the fact that the driver is going to have to drive for some amount of distance without freight.

Domesday Book was commissioned by William the Conqueror (1066-1087) at Christmas 1085. It was designed to show who held every piece of land in the newly conquered Kingdom of England. It was known colloquially as the Domesday Book because it was seen as being as final as the Last Judgement and as difficult to conceal things from. The book does not cover the whole country - Cumberland, Durham, Northumberland, and Westmorland were omitted and London and Winchester likewise, along with some other towns. A separate book, called Little Domesday covered the counties of Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk and, despite its name, it is actually bigger and more detailed than the Great Domesday Book containing the other counties.
Domesday Book records no less than eight land holdings in Stanford in 1086. One of these were held by Eudo, son of Hubert, also known as Eudo the Steward, who also had land in Southill. His largest holding was four hides which had belonged to Wulfmer of Eaton [Socon], a thegn of King Edward the Confessor (1042-1066) in 1066. He had had a tenant on half a hide of it. In 1086 William de Cairon was Eudo's tenant on the entire holding. The holding had three villagers and two slaves as well as two watermills worth twenty nine shillings and fifty eels. The holding had been worth £4 in 1066 and was worth the same amount in 1086 but when Eudo acquired it the value had fallen to forty shillings.
It is suggested by historians that the reason for the general lowering of the value of manors in the area is accounted for by William I's armies coming through Bedfordshire on their way to put down rebellions in the north. They would have lived off the land and no doubt have committed certain acts of vandalism in what was, to them, still alien, even enemy, territory.
Hugh de Beauchamp held seven acres of land in Stanford. Domesday Book notes: "In the same (village) are seven freemen who hold seven acres of land; they were Wulfmer's men; they could grant their land. Now Hugh de Beauchamp holds it". Hugh also held one hide and half a virgate. This holding comprised four villagers and a smallholder and was worth twenty shillings, the same value as in 1066 when it had been owned by four freemen, three of whom could sell and the other, who had the hide of land, could not. Were these, or their heirs, the four villagers present on the land in 1086?
Hugh had a third holding in Stanford, which was tenanted by a man named Roger and comprised one hide. Again four villagers and a smallholder lived on the holding which also had woodland for sixteen pigs and a half share in a mill, which would have been a watermill as windmills were unknown in England in 1086. This half mill was worth five shillings. In 1066 Aelmer of Hoo had had the land and it had been worth ten shillings. When Hugh acquired it the value had been halved but by 1086 it was worth fifteen shillings.
William Speke, or Espec, who also had land in Southill, owned one hide, tenanted by a man named Hugh. This may have been Hugh de Beauchamp as Speke's holding also contained a half share of a mill worth five shillings. The holding also comprised two slaves and woodland for twenty pigs. A thegn of Edward the Confessor called Leofmer had held this land in 1066 when it had been worth twenty shillings, the same as when Speke acquired it. By 1086 this value had fallen to fifteen shillings.
Azelina, the wife of Ralph Tallboys, had two hides in Stanford, tenanted by a man named Roger, perhaps the same man who held land from Hugh de Beauchamp. two villagers and one smallholder lived on the land which had meadow for thirty pigs and a mill worth 13/4. Two freemen had held the land in 1066 when it had been worth sixty shillings, the same value as in 1086 but when Azelina acquired the land it had only been worth twenty shillings.
An Anglo-Saxon named Alric held four parts of a virgate from King William, the value being 12d., the same as in 1066 when Alric had also held it, a rare instance of a native still holding the same piece of land, albeit a small piece, twenty years on. The final land holding in Stanford was in the hands of another Anglo-Saxon, Ordwy, who also had four parts of a virgate, valued at four shillings, the same as in 1066 when he the same man had owned it.
Domesday Book lists thirteen villagers, three smallholders and four slaves in Stanford. It also notes the seven freemen holding seven acres of land under Hugh de Beauchamp. These may be included in the thirteen villagers already noted or, equally, may be different individuals. Alric and Ordwy should, perhaps, also be added to this total. Most of these men would have had families suggesting a population of between eighty and a hundred and twenty, a far more significant settlement in terms of the whole population in 1086 than Stanford is today.

I've touched in some of the previous articles on best trucking companies in Missouri, Colorado, Nebraska and some others, and in today's article I am going to speak about the top 10 trucking companies in Nevada.
When it comes to trucking companies in Nevada, the choice is pretty big!
I've done some basic research and checked on some drivers forums and trucking magazines what is available, and out of all those trucking companies in Nevada, I've chosen the ones that I think are the best out there.
I know not everyone will agree with me, and I might miss some trucking companies in Nevada that you think are far better than the ones I've chosen, but hay, give me a call and I will make sure that I mention those missed in my next article of trucking companies in Nevada.
So, before I start speaking about trucking companies in Nevada let me give you few facts and figures about Nevada as a state.
Now, Nevada is pretty big or 110,572 square meters (286,380 km2) to be exact! It's known as the "Silver State" because of the importance of silver to its history and economy, and other common names for this state are "Battle Born State", and "Sage-brush State".
You might know that Nevada's state roads and bridges are known to be some of the nation's best! Responsible for maintaining and improving their highway system, both, the U.S. highways and the Interstate highways within the state's borders is the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT).
Interesting to know is the fact that this state is one of the few in the country to allow semi-trailer trucks with three trailers!
This government agency has very proactive approach to highway maintenance, and another good thing about NDOT is that through their "511 Nevada Travel Info system" they are able to offer updated road conditions and construction reports for all the drivers crossing the State.
Now let's bring the point home and go back to the best trucking companies in Nevada. Here is the list of my choice! Hope you like it!

So no wonder why B4 Logistics is as successful as it is!
With the solid foundation in refrigerated transportation and a loyal team that has been together for more than a decade, B4 felt ready to enter into the heavy haul transportation sector.

How I survived cancer and built a business with grit and determination
Monday February 04, 2019,
5 min Read
This entrepreneur who was diagnosed with Stage 4 Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma says he survived because he decided to live every day.
August 25, 2012: My co-founder Swati and I met and conceptualised Team Pumpkin.
February 14, 2013: Team Pumpkin becomes a reality on paper with all legal documents.
March 23, 2013: I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
The lifeline of business
I still remember how Swati reacted when I first broke the news to her. Only two weeks back, her mother had been diagnosed with Stage 2 uterine cancer and I was only going to make her more miserable. She told me on the phone, "I am feeling very, very scared".
Team Pumpkin was the last thing on our minds. We were both searching for the best doctors in India, best treatment and we would read up every single bit that was available on the topic on the internet.
In hindsight, let me tell you that all the information on the internet is pretty much useless. Everybody is different and no information can make you understand in advance what you'll be going through.
Coming back to Team Pumpkin, I think Swati and I both had parked the focus on business aside and many people in our friends and family had already declared that our business will have a very short lifeline.
Early days of chemotherapy
In April 2013, I had to move to Mumbai for my first set of chemotherapy treatment. I was spending days in bed and the situation around me was perennially gloomy, to say the least. Physically, I was weak and most of the times, bedridden. If you really ask me, all I wanted at that point in time was just to go out and see a movie or have dinner. It's funny how we think of these things as boring and mundane in our regular lives, but to me at that point of time, it was something I aspired to do. It was also the time I realised how loved I was. In normal life, no one comes to you and says that they love you or they are fond of you. During this time, I had so many people (many unexpected) who came forward and offered their help and support. I also received much-unsolicited advice, like eating a stem of a plant, or a random WhatsApp forward offering free medicines to cancer patients (which is a scam, by the way) - all these I was better off without. For once, I yearned to be treated like a normal person. Just a normal person.
Mixing cancer and business
One fine day, I got the feeling, or was enlightened that if I don't treat myself as normal, people around me won't. I decided to focus on Team Pumpkin in my free time. Swati joined in. We started setting up our Mumbai office. We had our first batch of employees on board. We signed up for office space. We started talking to friends and family for pitches. Soon enough, Team Pumpkin was growing. I must say at this point in time we had a great early team and many of them are still with us. Preetham, Puja, Ganesh - all of them have seen me battling cancer and have been the best support I could have asked for. During these three months, we signed up clients. My family - my parents, my brothers, my wife and kids - were rock solid behind me and looking forward to a fresh lease of life.
The relapse
In October 2013, I got to know what I'd say is every cancer patient's worst nightmare - a relapse. I was told that I may have just a few months more to live. People think of it as courage and applaud, but when you are in the situation, you do some things only because you don't have a choice. I didn't have a choice either. I decided to "live", even if it meant for a few months. I was in the business, still.
Even though it was a daily struggle to wake up and step out, I decided to attend client meetings. There was a thick tube inserted in my neck and I used to attend meetings with it. The clients did find it awkward at first, but when everyone from our team appeared normal, it became normal for them too. I remember we reached a client's place, which was on the eighth floor and the lift wasn't working. I decided not to give up, even though it would take 90 minutes to reach the eighth floor. A lot of people used to get scared when they got to know I was a cancer patient, which I couldn't do anything about. I wished I could hug them and tell them, "I'm okay!"
And today…
I cannot thank my XLRI and NIFT batchmates enough for their contribution to my treatment. One of my batchmates sourced a medicine which was not available in India. It miraculously worked and here I am, six years later working. In the meanwhile, Team Pumpkin is now a 100+ team across Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru working with clients like Axis Bank, Big Bazaar, Big Basket, ITC, Coca-Cola and many more solving all their marketing problems.
Apart from growing the company team wise and financially, we also decided to make Team Pumpkin an inclusive place.
My advice to you…
- My insurance lapsed one month before my diagnosis. I had to spend all my savings on my treatment. Never take your life insurance and medical insurance lightly.
- Gratitude. Cancer taught me to be thankful for my daily food, my daily routine, and daily nuances of life. Trust me friends, what you call boring, is some person's aspiration.
- I truly believed that I survived because I decided to live every day.
Ranjeet Kumar is CEO of Team Pumpkin

SHOP YAHOO STYLE: Yahoo Style has dipped its toe into e-commerce with the launch of shoppable gift guides, the first of which features picks by Joe Zee. It's the latest glimpse into a broader strategy by the tech giant and its chief executive officer Marissa Mayer to gain relevance and grow revenue via original content and an offering Zee said gives the online magazine an edge over traditional print media.
"Gift-giving can be tedious and can be hard and sometimes you don't even know where to start, so for me, editorially, this was a no-brainer," Zee said.
The Yahoo Style editor in chief's picks include a holiday candle from Tobi Tobin Designs, a set of cards from Anchor Paper Co. and a limited-edition tumbler from RVCC. His guide will be followed up next week with suggestions from Rachel Zoe.
Visitors to the page will be able to shop the items and pay for them in a single transaction.
"Everything you shop is really on demand, integrated into the editorial experience," said Los Angeles-based Owliee ceo Flynn Adams, whose platform is hosting Yahoo Style's e-commerce operation. The company works with retailers — including Aldo, Sony, Levi's and Lacoste — on their e-commerce backbones.
"We created a mobile-first technology for Yahoo so all readers can shop from wherever they are," Adams said.
It's key in helping sustain momentum of the company's mobile ad revenue business, which it said in October is expected to reach $1.2 billion for the year, passing Twitter and placing it under Google and Facebook in the number-one and -two spots, respectively, according to eMarketer.
It's unclear how revenue from Yahoo Style's new e-commerce capabilities will be allocated. Adams said Owliee acts "like how any other e-commerce service acts," but she, along with Yahoo and Zee, declined to discuss details of the revenue model.
Yahoo tapped Zee earlier this year to oversee editorial at its recently launched Yahoo Style site, which featured Jessica Biel on its first cover in September. He pointed out the opportunities in his transition from print to digital with the gift guide a good case in point: turning items featured on a magazine page into an actual transaction.
"We did gift guides and we did it in print and you could never connect the dots fully to anyone," he said.
Zee sees the shoppable gift guides as a launching pad for adding the capability elsewhere throughout Yahoo Style. There's opportunity to make trend stories shoppable, he said as an example. The same goes for Yahoo Style's original cover photo shoots, which take place nearly every week. He said readers have already been asking for that.
And it's a big audience, at more than 800 million unique users monthly to Yahoo overall, a significant chunk of those being Millennials with an interest in fashion and a desire for the full experience. "They're there," he said. "They want this. They want to know how to be able to use this."

One of the most powerful aspects of Bloom's taxonomy is that it offers you, as an educator, the ability to construct a curriculum to assess objective learning outcomes, including advanced educational objectives like critical thinking. Pre-created Bloom's taxonomy questions can also make planning discussions, learning activities, and formative assessment part of this much easier.
For those unfamiliar with Bloom's Taxonomy, it consists of a series of hierarchical levels (normally arranged in a pyramid) that build on each other and progress towards higher-order thinking skills. Each level contains verbs, such as "demonstrate" or "design," that can be measured to gain greater insight into student learning.
Click here to download 100+ Bloom's taxonomy question stems for your classroom – and get everything you need to engage your students.
Bloom's taxonomy (1956)
The original Bloom's Taxonomy framework consists of six levels that build off of each other as the learning experience progresses. It was developed in 1956 by Benjamin Bloom, an American educational psychologist. Below are descriptions of each level:
- Knowledge: Identification and recall of course concepts learned
- Comprehension: Ability to grasp the meaning of the material
- Application: Demonstrating a grasp of the material at this level by solving problems and creating projects
- Analysis: Finding patterns and trends in the course material
- Synthesis: The combining of ideas or concepts to form a working theory
- Evaluation: Making judgments based on the information students have learned as well as their own insights
Revised Bloom's taxonomy (2001)
A group of educational researchers and cognitive psychologists developed the new and revised Bloom's Taxonomy framework in 2001 to be more action-oriented. This way, students work their way through a series of verbs to meet learning objectives. Below are descriptions of each of the levels in revised Bloom's Taxonomy:
- Remember: To bring an awareness of the concept to learners' minds.
- Understand: To summarize or restate the information in a particular way.
- Apply: The ability to use learned material in new and concrete situations.
- Analyze: Understanding the underlying structure of knowledge to be able to distinguish between fact and opinion.
- Evaluate: Making judgments about the value of ideas, theories, items and materials.
- Create: Reorganizing concepts into new structures or patterns through generating, producing or planning.

I whipped this big hook board up last week in no time flat. It got me thinking: Why do we ever buy those teeny, overpriced, bland-looking, pre-made hook boards? Why? If I can make one of these, then anyone can!
I started out with this extra piece of barn wood that I found in the garage. Don't have a fabulously weathered piece of history just laying around? You can use any plain board from the hardware store and stain or paint it, or you can even find a nice length of molding for a little bit of a fancier look. Easy and cheap.
I picked up these simple little hooks from Home Depot. I think they were about $2 for a pack of 2.
All I had to do was measure out where I wanted each hook and mark it off on the board. Then I just drilled in a couple of screws for each hook and 10 minutes later it was done!
Seriously? Why do they even sell pre-made boards of hooks in stores? It's just irresponsible.
I ended up using it on the wall in my mudroom.
It's great for holding skipping ropes, dog leashes, wet towels, and stuff like that.
Usually in the Summer this area is just a big mess of toys and outdoor gear, but now it's just a little more organized. It even looks a little bit fun, right? 'Cause there are toys and stuff! Right?
Well, I still need to pick up a few more lawn games on end-of-season clearance to really finish off the "fun" look that I'm going for when you walk in here, but I do have this vintage croquet set that we found in the garage. That looks like good Summer fun to me!
My point is, if you're starting to think about getting organized, and you think you might like some hooks for something like kids' things at back-to-school time, why not try making something like this yourself rather than spending 10 times the money on a pre-made one? I bet you'll surprise yourself with how much you like it!

Wind farms could be killing 80,000 bats a year, new study findsPosted: November 8, 2016 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment
Quick fix – turn them off at night, if (intermittent) Mother Nature hasn't beaten you to it.
No doubt, PETA, RSPCA, WWF are onto this anyway, or is that crickets I hear chirping?
By Paul Homewood
h/t Phillip Bratby/Stewgreen
From the Telegraph:
Wind farms are probably killing tens of thousands of bats a year, even where risk assessments have been carried out to prevent the deaths, a study has found.

Giant Battery Myth Offers Wind Industry No Salvation from its Ultimate DemisePosted: November 8, 2016 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment
As for the toxic "mining" of rare earth metals to make these mega-batteries. And if so, cue the outrage from the "greens" who detest 'mining' – yeah right. Hypocrites.
Mythical storage system on the road to nowhere…
One of the more hilarious moments that followed the aftermath of South Australia's statewide blackout on 28 September (aka 'Black Wednesday'), was when The Australian quoted the CEO of French wind power outfit Neoen – one of the wind power operators whose turbines were responsible for SA's date with the Dark Ages:
Neoen Australia managing director Franck Woitiez, whose turbines at Hornsdale wind farm shut down as part of the system trigger, said the statewide blackout was caused by the storm. With his wind farm now back in full operation, he cautioned against a kneejerk response to the black out. "Battery storage has a huge part to play in our system going forward and we need to keep viewing renewables as part of our energy mix," Mr Woitiez said.
For the record, battery storage plays no part in South Australia's power…

Michelle Obama And Political CorrectnessPosted: November 8, 2016 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment
"But before Michelle Obama gets shaken any longer, I would suggest she read the lyrics of the best known rap songs with her daughters and compare what she reads to the ignorant indignities of Donald Trump. Which shakes her core more? Or is that core suffering from a severe case of political correctness?"
Different set of rules for the ruling class and the elite Left.
Michelle Obama, you're a blind, ignorant and dangerous hypocrite.
By Herbert London ~
For those who follow popular culture, the slide into debasement is palpable. From the f-bomb to pornographic exposure, America has become the land of anything goes. The once provincial, laced up nation, challenged by the liberal view of expression, has lost. Victorian notions of modesty are as outmoded as horse-drawn plows.
A couple of months ago an eleven-year-old tape of Donald Trump was aired in which he employed vulgar and uncouth language about women. It was inexcusable, notwithstanding the debasement in the culture. As one might guess, this matter became the focus of the Clinton campaign for president. First lady Michelle Obama said she was "shaken…to my core" by Trump's comments and, alas she has a point.
However, if Trump's lewd remarks are so meaningful, it is worth asking why she and the president have openly promoted rap "artists" who glorify misogyny, sexual objectification of women…

Climate Debate Is OnPosted: November 8, 2016 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment
The silent majority of climate realists (sceptics) finally have a vocal and qualified voice in the Australian parliament.
Listen for the sound of teeth gnashing in the ideological halls of climate-groupthink, government departments like the CSIRO and BoM!
Hard data and empirical evidence sucks!
Senator Malcolm Roberts:
H/t Jo Nova
Finally, a public airing of empirical flaws in consensus climate science. Senator Malcolm Roberts is doing Australia and the entire world a service is applying critical intelligence to IPCC climate science as espoused by CSIRO, Australia's climate agency.
The scientific debate between Roberts et al. and CSIRO is documented in depth for all to peruse at Climate Change – One Nation's response to CSIRO (here).
Senator Malcolm Roberts in his maiden speech asserted that CSIRO had no empirical evidence that human emissions of CO2 caused any significant global warming. A meeting was arranged between CSIRO and Senator Roberts' staff where CSIRO presented their empirical evidence. The linked document is a detailed review of that empirical evidence and has raised many questions, as well as indicating some points of agreement.
Excerpts below with images suggest that…

Conditions in England in the 18th century were tough: the industrial revolution had removed many people's opportunities to earn an honest wage as simpler tasks were replaced by machine labour.
As unemployment rose, so did crime, especially the theft of basic necessities such as food and clothing. The British prison system was soon full to overflowing, and a new place had to be found to ship the prison inmates.
The American colonies were no longer viable, following the American war of Independence. Following Captain Cook's voyage to the South Pacific, the previously uncharted continent of New Holland proved to be suitable.
The plan to send a colony of convicts and officers to New South Wales was first authorised on 6 December 1784.
Within two years, the formal decision was made to send a colonisation party of convicts, military and civilian personnel specifically to Botany Bay, New South Wales, under the command of Captain Arthur Phillip, who was appointed Governor-designate.
The First Fleet consisted of 775 convicts on board six transport ships, accompanied by officials, crew, marines and their families who together totalled 645. As well as the convict transports, there were two naval escorts and three storeships.
Transportation of convicts to Australia began when the first ship departed Portsmouth, England, in May 1787, and ended when the last convict ship left Britain in 1867 and arrived in Australia on 10 January 1868.

The lies they tell.
A new video published Thursday underscored the extent to which a now-former police officer went to blame a Black man of trying to kill her. Sherry Hall is heading to prison for 15 years after claiming she was shot in the abdomen by a "Black man, 6 feet, 250 pounds, wearing a green shirt and black jogging pants" on September 13, 2016. Hall told elaborate lies, sat down for interviews and falsely accused Rodreikus Scott of trying to kill her.
Hall's false accusations caused a manhunt for Scott after she identified him as the shooter. In a bizarre television interview, she said, "For him to have such a disregard to human life really angers me and upsets me. . . . If he'll do this to an officer, how much more will he do to a citizen on the street?" See the video below that was just released Thursday.
Scott explained to officers that he was out of town at the time of the shooting and had never seen Hall in his life. Nonetheless, his vehicle and home were searched. He was also undressed and searched in front of his daughter. Scott told 11 Alive, "I was scared for my life. I was scared for my family's life. It was hard for me to go places without people pointing me out."
According to 11 Alive, "A GBI investigation later determined that Hall shot herself with her department-issued firearm. Authorities said Hall lied about the incident and took her into custody." But Scott claimed he found out that Hall was being charged via the news. Jackson authorities never reached out and apologized to him.
The Jackson Progress-Argus reports during Hall's trial in August of this year, she said, "I don't recall a whole lot, because I've spent two years in therapy trying to suppress it." The Washington Post reports, "The jury took less than an hour to convict Hall on all 10 counts Aug. 30. Moss then asked Superior Court Judge Thomas Wilson to sentence Hall to 30 years in prison. Wilson imposed a 15-year term."
There is no motive for why she accused him of being the shooter, but we all know it was stone-cold racism.

Bordas reveals four of the best fragrances of 2019
Our panel of experts, made up of perfumery and marketing teams, share with you the four of the best 2019 fragrances, chosen after having evaluated their wonderful and desirable scents, but also the name, their iconic bottle-design and the fragrance message captured in the ad campaign, as important elements of perfume marketing.
BAD BOY by CAROLINA HERRERA
BAD BOY is a harmonious fragrance that combines the duality of masculine strength and vigor represented with the perfect combination of black and white pepper, with its most sensitive and elegant side given by woody notes.
The citrus top notes blend with the warm sage to embody a modern sophisticated man in charge of his own destiny.
Perfumers: Louise Turner & Quentin Bisch
Bergamot | Clary Sage | Vanilla | Ambre | Black & White Peppers
IDÔLE by LANCÔME
To the leaders of today and forever.
At once empowered and confident, IDÔLE symbolizes the strong nature of women who dare to explore new horizons.
This sensual blend contrasts fresh citrus crescendo notes with silky roses, velvety violets and jasmine flowers, making the luxurious and sumptuous scent.
Perfumers: Adriana Medina-Baez, Nadège Le Garlantezec & Shyamala Maisondieu
Bergamot | Violet | Jasmine | Rose Centifolia | Musk
K by DOLCE & GABBANA
This perfume represents an authentic and charming man, king of his day-a-day life.
The citrus notes capture the essence of the Tuscan bringing the Mediterranean sun, enhanced by sensual woody and aromatic notes which evoque the duality of tradition with modernity.
Perfumers: Daphné Bugey & Nathalie Lorson
Lemon | Grapefruit | Juniper Berries | Lavender | Woods
LIBRE by YVES SAINT LAURENT
The statement of a strong and bold woman with a free soul.
This floral fragrance combines the sensuality of white flower notes with powerful aromatic and musky accords, ending with a hint of Madagascar's sweetest vanilla to create a unique blend that celebrates women's freedom.
Perfumers: Anne Flipo & Carlos Benaïm
Mandarin | Jasmine | Orange Blossom | Lavender | Vanilla

Which would you rather do:
A. Get up at 3:30 AM on a Saturday so that you could drive someone to the airport, or;
B. Drive into downtown Atlanta during evening rush hour on the Friday of a long holiday weekend?
Give me choice A. anytime. Our neighbor needed to get up to New York City and we were happy to take her to the bus she had booked from Atlanta but it was going to take almost 20 hours to get up there. Bill thought that there had to be a better way and sure enough, those travel searching skills that he's honed over the years paid off with a 7:00 AM flight that gets into the city before the bus does on Saturday morning. Coffee, please.
One of the nice things about living in Carcassonne is that we'll be able to walk to pretty much anywhere, and that even includes the airport, if necessary. There's a bus stop not far from the house, the train station is about 20 minutes by foot and from there we can either take a direct bus to the airport or continue walking for maybe 40 minutes. Grocery stores, appliance stores and any other kind of shopping we might need surround the city, all connected by sidewalks plus bus routes and there's the fresh fruits and vegetables market three days a week in the center of town. We'll be able to sleep in and still get anywhere in time.

VINITA, OK – Heavy Metal Training Institute (HMTI) is proud to announce its first three local drivers to obtain their Class A Commercial Driver's License (CDL).
The Commercial Driver's License program is a four-week course that includes the CLP and Pre-trip inspection class. Students earn their CLP and undergo training to earn their Oklahoma CDL. This course includes CLP class, pre-trip inspection, defensive driving, coupling, backing maneuvers, basic road skills, and commercial driver lifestyle. Students receive 160 hours of a combination of classroom and hands-on technical training.
Mike Lake, an employee of Northeast Oklahoma Electric Cooperative and Vinita resident, earned his Class A CDL through the company training program at HMTI. "The owner, Bobbie Wolf, really knows her stuff. She's patient and breaks the pre-trip down really well. She's a great teacher."
Kash Harlan of Big Cabin stands proudly on completing his training with HMTI. "I did it! I passed and got my CDL today. Thanks, Bobbie. I recommend anybody that wants their CDL to go to her. Heavy Metal will get you there."
David O'Dell, a resident of Afton, earned his Class A CDL recently from HMTI. "I highly recommend this school to anyone in the state of Oklahoma wanting to get their Class A CDL. Bobbie is one of my greatest mentors I've had the privilege to meet. When I was ready to give up, she continued to work with me and push me to succeed. Give them a call today and turn that dream into a job!"
Owner and Director Bobbie Wolf said she has had students from all over Oklahoma, not just the Vinita area. Several people from the Oklahoma City and Tulsa area have traveled to train with Wolf. But the farthest has been Guymon, Oklahoma.
"We're staying busy," Wolf said. "I offer Monday through Friday classes. But, there's also evenings and weekends for students who work full-time jobs and need to make ends meet. I do whatever I can for people to make it work."
HMTI is accepting applications for March and April classes. Funding can be obtained through Oklahoma Works, Cherokee Nation Career Services, and other resources. Students who are interested should call HMTI for more information.
HMTI is a learning institution licensed by the Oklahoma Board of Private Vocational Schools (OBPVS). It offers fast track courses at an affordable price, practical hands-on training, and industry experienced instructors. The campus is located at 103 South Wilson Street in Vinita, Oklahoma. For enrollment of other information, send an email to Bobbie Wolf at firstname.lastname@example.com or call (918) 276-2669. Visit the school's website at www.hmtinstitute.com.
