I.e., I am being "contentious" only if it is clear that Paul meant what
you think it meant. It isn't - see the following for further details.

If Paul wanted to "rebut" vv.3-10 he would have said "No, women don't
have to be veiled at worship" or something equally clear. His argument in the
whole passage is not just a single sequence of propositions but
several different
arguments adduced to make his point. The fact that women already
have long hair
would indeed seem to indicate that further covering is otiose but that simply
isn't the way Paul is arguing here. It is rather that nature shows that women
should have their heads covered so they should cover them - redundancy or no.
But Paul also is at pains to point out that there is some reciprocity
between men and women in creation - it isn't just a matter of men
always first &
women always second (v.12).

I am making no assumption. No pronoun "I" is needed because
the omega in
thelo is the standard first person singular active ending - just as it is in
epaino in verse 2. The implied ego of thelo in v.3 is the same as
that of epaino
(& mou) in v.2 - i.e., Paul. This shows very clearly that there is
no change of
speaker between the two verses and that your argument as it pertains to this
passage fails.

The writings of Paul & the whole Bible simply don't give us
answers on issues like the role of women, race, and slavery. I appreciate your
desire to remove possible arguments against equality for women but don't think
that should be done by trying to make Paul say something he just
doesn't say. It
is much better to look at the whole of Paul's writings and the whole of
scripture. Galatians 3:28 is of critical importance, for here Paul is clearly
stating what should be a general truth about life in Christ & is not giving
regulations for specific congregations. As F.F. Bruce says about this verse in
his Galatians commentary: "Paul states the basic principle here: if
restrictions on it are found elsewhere in the Pauline corpus, as in I
f. ... or I Tim.2:11, f , they are to be understood in relation to
Gal.3:28, and
not vice versa."
This subject really needs a longer discussion of the idea of
in ethics and theology than is possible here. I will be glad to send to anyone
interested an article of mine in The Bride of Christ from a couple of
years ago,
"The Trajectory of Creation and the Ordination of Women."

The whole question of the relationship between the decree of the
apostolic council reported in Acts 15 and Paul's letters is rather difficult
because Paul never makes any reference to this decree. It is quite surprisng,
e.g., that he never refers to the fact that such a council did _not_
require the
circumcision of Gentiles when he's dealing with that issue in Galatians.
In any case, Acts 15:29 is not simply "helpful suggestion". In
particular, the requirement to abstain from blood was understood to be part of
God's covenant with Noah, and thus binding on all people - in distinction from
the regulations of torah which were only binding on Israel.

Scripture is not presented to us as a set of propositions like
Euclid. It
is a record of witnesses to God's revelation and the way in which the
of revelation tried, with greater or less wisdom and faithfulness, to live out
its implications in the situations in which they found themselves ~3000-~2000
years ago.
Again let me emphasize that my fundamental argument is
against the way in
which you are trying to interpret I Cor.11:2-16. It just doesn't work. OTOH I
think the same type of interpretation has some plausibility in the case of
> You wrote: No one - man, women, Jew, Greek, &c - has an absolute right to

Unfortunately your attempt to avoid discrimination on the basis of race
or gender falls apart here for if it is indeed up to "each body of
Christians" to
decide then there will be many "individual Christian congregations" which will
refuse to call women, blacks &c as pastors. It is the whole church, not just
individual congregations, that needs to be involved.

Do you know your perfusion circuit's 'net RAP efficiency'?
Sean Murtha, CCP, Director of Perfusion Services at Memorial Regional Hospital and Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital in Hollywood, Florida, enjoys sharing the results and discoveries of his team's journey to improve patient outcomes. Since 2007, the perfusion team has instituted many changes to reduce donor blood exposure to patients undergoing open heart surgery. Mr. Murtha believes the most significant changes are:
- selecting the oxygenator membrane and perfusion circuit size based on patient size
- using a more efficient retrograde autologous prime (RAP) procedure based on a smaller circuit prime volume
Perfusionists recognize that RAP can be more effective with smaller circuits. Mr. Murtha has developed an awareness of the ratio of circuit prime volume to patient blood volume and how much blood volume is needed for effective RAP. He describes net RAP efficiency as achieving the highest percent RAP efficiency with the lowest percent patient RAP/AAP (antegrade autologous priming) volume. A smaller circuit prime volume makes RAP more efficient and easier to accomplish.
Mr. Murtha's net RAP efficiency formula is: Total RAP/AP Volume divided by Circulating Volume equals Percent RAP Efficiency (higher numbers are most efficient).
New Prescriptive Approach
"Choosing a circuit size in proportion with patient size is more efficient," Mr. Murtha adds. "We see it all the time: the smaller patient can't tolerate a large blood loss during RAP and AAP, and anesthesia just gives back fluids. If anesthesia is not giving fluids back, we maintain higher hematocrit. You can start to see how you can easily reduce hemodilution."
The Memorial Regional Hospital team switched to a low prime volume circuit for patients less than 2.1 M2 — which includes the CAPIOX® FX15 Oxygenator with integrated arterial filter. According to Mr. Murtha, these small patients don't need an oxygenator that flows up to eight liters per minute with its associated high prime volume. In down-sizing the circuit, the perfusion team documented that using RAP and AAP techniques along with the FX15 Oxygenator:
- decreased circulating prime volume from 1,100 mL to 654 mL — a 41% reduction
- reduced the patient's exposure to circulating prime volume to 273 mL after RAP/AAP
- required only 381 mL of the patient's blood volume to achieve an effective RAP/AAP
"We determined 381 mL was our most effective RAP because it's the most volume we can remove from the patient based on our circuit configuration," Mr. Murtha says. "It's about net RAP efficiency, and we now achieve a very high efficiency. It's highly likely perfusionists will find much higher hematocrits by just changing circuit design and techniques to match the patient's size.
Steps to Reduce Blood Transfusions
Prior to selecting the new oxygenator and smaller perfusion circuit, Mr. Murtha had already spent two years analyzing his team's data and making incremental improvements. In 2007, his hospital's Cardiovascular Committee charged the Perfusion and Anesthesia teams with reducing blood transfusions. The clinicians:
- implemented an evidence-based blood transfusion protocol based on STS (Society of Thoracic Surgeons) recommendations
- reduced tubing lengths in the perfusion circuit to minimize circuit volume
- established a protocol to reduce hemodilution involving RAP and AAP techniques
The Cardiovascular Committee held all clinicians accountable to optimize patient care, and therefore Anesthesia became more conservative about giving fluid volume to stabilize the patient. "We tried to set a standard so all anesthesiologists managed the fluid volume in the same way," Mr. Murtha recalls. "With our focus on protocol driven care, everybody became accountable. And everybody got behind it when we started seeing the results."
Mr. Murtha concludes: "You really can optimize cardiac surgery. You just have to start collecting data to see where you're at, and see where you can make your improvements."

Pediatric Vision Care in Des Plaines, IL
What is Pediatric Vision Care?
Pediatric vision care is an essential part of preventive health care for children. Early identification of vision problems is crucial because children often respond more favorably to treatment in the early stages of vision development. Parents are encouraged to schedule comprehensive eye exams at 6 months old, 3 years old, and upon entering kindergarten. Children should also receive annual care every year throughout their school years.
Today, parents face challenges in protecting their children's eye health because of the abundance of environmental stressors—the most common of which include television, video games, computers and tablet/smartphone use. In addition to annual exams, pediatric vision care involves introducing healthy habits that help children preserve healthy eyes throughout their lives. Parents have the ability to set limits on technology-based activities by promoting outdoor activities that stimulate physical development and ensure long-term vison health.
Eye Development and Warning Signs
In the first few weeks of development, infants can only see objects that are 8 to 10 inches away from their faces, and distance vision continues to develop in the early months. By two months, visual coordination and depth perception begin to develop, giving infants the ability to track and follow moving objects. As vision continues to improve during early developmental stages, children begin to develop:
- Visual acuity: The acuity, or sharpness, of a child's vision is largely dependent upon refractive status—whether the patient has blurry vision or not—and overall eye health.
- Visual efficiency skills: Whether or not the child can focus and track objects with his or her eyes.
- Visual information processing: The ability for the child to recognize and discriminate visual stimuli and to interpret them correctly based upon previous experience.
When children reach grade school, undetected eye problems are sometimes misdiagnosed as learning disabilities. Although many schools conduct basic eye screenings, they tend to be rudimentary and should not be used as a substitute for ophthalmic eye exams. It's also important to know when ophthalmic intervention is needed. The most common warning signs found in children with vision disorders include:
- Squinting
- Sitting too close to the television or multimedia devices
- Losing his or her place when reading
- Crossed or "lazy" eyes
- Frequent headaches
- Excessive blinking
What is a Pediatric Eye Exam?
A comprehensive pediatric ophthalmic exam involves a series of noninvasive vision tests, comprehensive ocular evaluations and eye health assessments. For infants younger than 12 months old, an initial eye exam is typically performed by a pediatrician or a family doctor. It is only when these physicians believe there is a potential problem that an ophthalmologist is referred. When children get older and their cognitive skills become more developed, the physician will introduce more in-depth testing that uses the child's input to determine eye health. Some of these programs use charts with symbols—like an apple or a house—to evaluate the child's eyesight.
Pediatric vision exams begin with a comprehensive review of family and personal vision history—parents are encouraged to share as much information as possible to help form an accurate portrait of the patient's risk factors. Visual acuity is also measured and an ocular examination is performed to identify possible refractive errors, childhood glaucoma and various other conditions, including:
- Amblyopia: Sometimes called lazy eye, this condition occurs when visual acuity is much better in one eye than the other. It is typically treated with prescription glasses that need to be worn consistently.
- Ptosis: This condition occurs in a child whose upper eyelid droops slightly. Surgical intervention is often necessary to reverse the effects of this condition, although treatment with patching, glasses or eye drops may be sufficient.
- Cloudy eyes: If the surface of the eye appears cloudy, the child may have a cataract that needs immediate intervention. Treatment typically involves a surgical procedure that removes the cloudy part of the lens.
- Strabismus: Also known as crossed or turned eye, this condition causes eyes to become misaligned. Treatment depends on the cause of the misalignment, but it can usually be treated with corrective glasses, or, in more serious situations, eye muscle surgery.
Vision examinations should start early in life and continue throughout a child's school years. Appropriate vision care at an early age is vital to giving your child the clear vision he or she needs to perform well in school. Just as you would take a child for regular wellness physicals, parents should also be scheduling comprehensive eye exams.

Costa Rica
In 1502 Christopher Columbus, during the fourth voyage to America, was forced to take refuge from a heavy storm in the Bay, where there were further large Costa Rican port of Limon.
Here a Caravel, the Explorer met aborigines Redskins sported lots of gold jewelry.
"For the first two days — written by Columbus to his homeland to Spain, I saw on this earth. more gold than four years in the island of Hispaniola" (Haiti).
New land Columbus gave the name "Costa Rica", translated from the Spanish "rich coast".
However, the great Navigator made a mistake. Gold and silver were in Costa Rica not so much. The Indians in their development remained at the level of the stone age. Although we have achieved considerable success in the manufacture of gold ornaments, pottery and stone carving.

Amazing places – the devil's Garden
In Croatia there is a unique national Park Plitvice lakes (Horw. Plitvička jezera). Thousands of tourists from all over the world flock here to overjoyed to merge with the Paradise nature. And it's hard to believe that once this place was called "devil's garden".
The famous lakes are located halfway between Zagreb, the capital of the state, to the Adriatic coast, along which, and found shelter Croatia.
For the first time about the Plitvice lakes is mentioned in the 16th century. But then people were not up to the beauty of the Balkan peoples were constantly at war with the Ottoman Empire trying to assert their independence. It was at that time this dangerous edge was called "devil's garden".
In 1777 these places acquire an official name – "Plitvice lakes", which was written by the priest of Otočac Dominique Vukasovich.
Gradually the word spreads about the extraordinary beauty of the Plitvice lakes. Already in 1891, from the city of Karlovac was built the road to the lakes, and by 1894 the number of tourists visiting these meta exceeded tens of thousands.
In 1893 was established the society for the protection of the Plitvice lakes, whose task was to preserve the natural splendor of this place and attract tourists from all over the world.

An autonomous vehicle (self-driving car) is a vehicle that can drive itself without human guidance. These vehicles are arriving faster than most people have anticipated. How might we prepare for this major advance in transportation? An important concern about adding Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) is the effect of "driverless" on the industries that hire drivers, as well as the drivers themselves. There are also policy questions about Autonomous Vehicles such as, determining fault in the case of an accident (e.g., passenger, manufacturer, designer). However, a related concern is how other drivers will engage with AVs—there is some concern that other drivers might cut off, chase down, or otherwise aggressively engage with AVs.
Lastly, it may be easy to hack an AV, as they are designed to continuously receive information from other cars and sensors on the road through a "WiFi like" transmission system. Preparing for AVs may also mean rethinking the design of our existing roadways and signage. If AVs can monitor the speed and distance of other AVs, that means that cars can potentially travel at far faster speeds and in very close proximity. Will stop lights be necessary in this not-so-distant future?

Australia v Sri Lanka Tests
Aussie streaker lands in Sri Lankan prison
Brisbane local fined and jailed for indecent exposure following ill-advised escapade on day one of first Test
Callum Kanoniuk at the Pallekele Stadium, Kandy
27 July 2016, 08:11 PM AEST
File this one under 'It seemed like a good idea at the time'.
Australian cricket fan Alex James has been fined 3,000 rupees ($A28) and sentenced to a week in prison after completing a nude run during the washed-out final session on day one at the Pallekele Stadium.
Quick Single: SLv Aus scorecard
James made the questionable decision to seek some entertainment of his own as the afternoon rain rolled in over the hills to prevent a ball being bowled after the tea break on the opening day of the series.
With the entire ground covered, James – clothed at this stage – jumped the two fences that separate the playing surface and the hill in front of the scoreboard.
It wasn't long before the covers were used for a bit of slip-and-slide action, however the clothing was soon ditched as the spectator went au naturel.

At no stage did security intervene in the daring escapade, as James climbed back into his shorts, jogged back to the boundary, reclimbing the fences and back to his place on the hill.
While seemingly completing the run without trouble, James was arrested before departing the venue on Tuesday evening.
He was released on bail after spending the night locked up, and later returned to the Kandy Magistrate's Court.
There was a notable increase in security around the perimeter of the playing arena on day two.

There is only one thing of significance that separates the true artist from the wannabe.
It is not talent—as some might conclude—but dedication.
The true artist does not give up on his dream. He creates because that is his mission.
Turning away from your talent and the dream is no different from abandoning your children to the elements because you cannot feed them.

With so many AGV solutions on the market, it can be difficult to tell which AGV is right for your application and facility. Before investing in automation, ask your AGV vendor these important questions about install times, safety standards and the team youll be working with.
18 Questions to Ask Your AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) Vendor:
Part 2
Lindsay Derda | Seegrid
Reprinted with permission from Seegrid:
With so many AGV solutions on the market, it can be difficult to tell which AGV is right for your application and facility. Before investing in automation, ask your AGV vendor these important questions about install times, safety standards and the team you'll be working with.
Check out Part 1 here.
Does Your AGV Vendor...
Deliver robots that are infrastructure-free?
Many AGV vendors claim to be infrastructure-free, and most tout flexibility, but what do these buzzwords mean for the productivity of your facility? If you're looking for an AGV solution that can be installed in your plant without interrupting the flow of production, you need a solution that is 100% flexible and infrastructure-free.
Traditional AGV vendors and other material transporters require wires, magnets or tape for their vehicles to navigate plant floors. These solutions require costly upfront installation of physical landmarks throughout your plant, which can disrupt production. Additionally, if you want to modify the route after the placement of these landmarks, most AGV vendors have to send a team of engineers to make the retrain the route. This process is costly, and can take days or even weeks, which risks downtime in your plant.
Lasers and geo-guidance solutions—favored by some newer AGV companies—use structural environments like walls, columns and racks to auto-locate. Because their recordings are based on 2D maps, laser-based AGVs often get "lost" when boxes are moved off racking, or if anything else changes between the vehicle's initial training and when it embarks on its route. If your plant often moves product, people, or vehicles in or out of the AGV's path, avoid a laser-based AGV solution.
Unlike traditional AGVs, Seegrid's vision guided vehicles (VGVs) navigate the plant floor using 3D maps, built during route training using our patented Vision technology. Your team is able to train new routes in-house, without consulting CAD drawings or calling in engineers. The VGV can navigate its new route in a matter of minutes to hours, meaning no downtime or lost productivity when your company experiences workflow or business needs.
Create and influence AGV safety standards?
Because AGVs must navigate plant floors already busy with humans and other forklifts, AGV companies are required to follow a strict set of safety standards. It's important to partner with an AGV vendor that not only complies with industry standards, but is actually setting the standards for the rest of the AGV industry.
At Seegrid, we rely on the expertise of CTO Mitchell Weiss, a member of the ANSI B56 Standards Committee and Vice Chair of ASTM F45 Driverless Automatic Guided Industrial Vehicles, two globally recognized leaders in the development of safety standards for AGVs. Mitchell's extensive knowledge of AGV safety standards is invaluable to our team. Be sure to partner with an AGV vendor that has a full understanding of industry-wide performance standards and recommended best practices for AGVs.
Commit to a prompt vehicle delivery?
Installation of traditional AGV systems (lasers, wires, tape, etc.) require time to find a solution, engineer that solution, and build the solution. When all this custom work is said and done, it can take months and even years between the sale and actual vehicle delivery. Even some infrastructure-free solutions require extensive backend work before vehicle delivery is possible.
If you're considering an AGV vendor that is headquartered in Europe or elsewhere, consider that international companies often do not have the appropriate infrastructure to fully support your operation. This means you can expect extended time periods for simple services to your AGVs post-install. Make sure that your AGV vendor has an expert Service team in the U.S. that can help you quickly fix issues and prevent any downtime.
Install vehicles quickly and efficiently?
Because AGV vendors offer a variety of solutions, the installation process differs greatly between AGV companies. If you're looking for a quick ROI, consider that an infrastructure-based solution requires an extensive install period upfront as landmarks are placed and many tests are run to ensure the vehicle can recognize them. Long lead and installation time delays the ROI you'll see on your AGV investment.
Honed over years of experience, Seegrid's installation process is quick, thorough, and efficient. Our Customer Success team ensures a smooth installation and our training department provides the customer with the training tools needed to manage their fleet of VGVs. Thanks to our WalkThruThenWork™ and RideThruThenWork™ technology, your fleet of VGVs can be trained and put to work in a matter of minutes—not months—so you can realize ROI faster.
Provide a personalized customer success team?
Based on Seegrid's extensive experience implementing VGVs in new facilities, we recognize that a quick and efficient post-sale process is key to the customer's overall success. That's why we have a provide a personalized Customer Success Manager (CSM) to provide critical project management throughout the implementation of your fleet of VGVs. To ensure the smoothest possible transition into using your new vehicle, ask your AGV vendor if they provide a personal customer success team. Our CSMs provide on-site oversight during install and continuous support post-install. We realize the value in having a dedicated team providing expertise and support from start to finish, so we provide this team of experts free of charge.

ASCII is a standard set of encoded characters that is deeply embedded in the world's computing infrastructure and that of the Internet. These basic 128 characters have become a shorthand for the notion of "plain text" which is free of formatting and can be transported cleanly across platforms.
ASCII includes letters, numbers, and control characters (like 'space'). Think of it like a set of keys on a typewriter, with each key mapped to an electronic pattern of bits. To be more specific, each key has a numerical value, and that number, translated to the ones and zeroes of binary code, occupies one of a limited set of slots available in 7 bits of data.
ASCII has roots in telegraphic codes, and was first developed in the 1960s. It became a key ingredient in early computing, was recorded on media like magnetic tape and punch cards, was utilized in UNIX, and on the nascent Internet. The name stands for "American Standard Code for Information Interchange," which indicates its origins and limitations.
One of the key things to recognize about ASCII is its limited set of characters: it doesn't include the Spanish ñ, much less support Hebrew or Chinese glyphs. "ASCII Extended" included more non-English characters, and other character sets have expanded further.
ASCII is not a markup language like HTML; it carries no structure or formatting information aside from the control characters. It's just a standard protocol for the keys on your keyboard. In the early days, we might each have a different way of encoding a "B" or an "X" you typed into your keyboard, like people today running Android and iOS which can't run the same software.
Other, larger character set encodings have come along and absorbed and extended ASCII, such as UTF-8, and word processing applications used by consumers feature enormous collections of characters that are far removed from ASCII, along with additional document formatting like underlining, bold text, italics and so on. But as anyone making everyday use of computers knows, you still have to make use of "plain text" frequently.
ASCII is a bit of Internet DNA that is still there, operating below the surface, translating text into digital patterns. It's also relevant as an artifact of early Internet culture, in ASCII art and literature.
Sources / More reading:
There Ain't No Such Thing as Plain Text, Coding Horror
You might find yourself Googling into ASCII when you're pursuing a related topic: character entities. These are special characters that have to be replaced in HTML because HTML treats them with its own meaning, like "tag starts here" in the case of a less-than symbol. You can use them in handy ways, like putting symbols into your page using CSS. Here's a chart of them.

Manchester FRED - Front End Web Development
Simon Owen
Wednesday, 20 March 2013 from 18:30 to 21:00 (GMT)
Event Details
Front end web development is getting increasingly complicated, gone are the days of being able to show a client flat artwork of how the site will look and 'pixel perfect' web design. There's so many discrepancies between devices and browsers, so where do we draw the line? Sure we can use polyfills to go back and help out older browsers, but should we? How do you start a web site build these days? Static HTML? Straight into a CMS like WordPress? How do you deal with mobile testing? What if a client wants amends making to a live site? How do you deploy your site? FTP? a build script?
These are just a few of many issues web developers have to tackle.
I'm interested to share my ideas, find out what others are up to and have a drink or two along the way.

May 21, 2014 – Voters across New York state again demonstrated great confidence in their local schools, approving 98 percent of school budgets in Tuesday's balloting, according to a preliminary analysis by New York State United Teachers. Based on an unofficial count as of 9 a.m., NYSUT said voters approved 549 school budgets and defeated 12 for an unofficial pass rate of 98 percent. In the 24 school districts seeking to pierce the undemocratic tax cap with a 60 percent supermajority vote, 14 succeeded. Vote counts were not immediately available for about 100 school districts, NYSUT said. NYSUT President Karen E. Magee said voters' overwhelming support for public education comes as no surprise. "New York's public schools do a great job. Parents and community members know it, and that confidence in teachers and school staff led to another ringing endorsement of responsible school budgets that invest in students and programs, and help move public education forward," she said. Magee said this year's state aid increase helped school boards to hold average spending increases to 2.63 percent, and the average tax levy increase to 1.98 percent for 2014-15. Still, Magee said, NYSUT and its local unions worked hard to pass school budgets, aided by a $200,000 statewide radio campaign. "Teachers and School-Related Professionals, together with other NYSUT members working in their communities, mailed postcards, went door to door, handed out fliers and made hundreds of thousands of phone calls to rally support for their school budgets and those candidates who support the programs and policies kids need to succeed," Magee said. NYSUT Executive Vice President Andrew Pallotta said a $1.1 billion state aid increase stopped the hemorrhaging of education professionals and school programs this year, but was still not enough to overcome the impact of state aid cuts during the Great Recession. Meanwhile, he said, the undemocratic tax cap is denying communities local control over their schools and is allowing a minority of voters to dictate lower spending levels against the wishes of the majority. "Local taxpayers should be able to decide – without interference from Albany – how much they want to invest in programs for their own children in their own public schools," Pallotta said. "The tax cap unfairly robs them of that choice while permitting 40 percent of the community to undemocratically dictate school spending." New York State United Teachers is a statewide union with more than 600,000 members in education, human services and health care. NYSUT is affiliated with the American Federation of Teachers, the National Education Association and the AFL-CIO.

Verizon beats back City Council criticism over broadband expansion
Lawmakers harangue service provider for failing to meet 2005 agreement with City Hall.
New York City lawmakers questioned executives from Verizon and their commitment to follow through with an existing agreement to offer high-speed broadband throughout all the boroughs.
Council members, joined by Public Advocate Letitia James, were flummoxed by why so many New York City residents can't access Verizon FiOS service, while the company's executives argued its systems pass through all city households and that the most significant hold up falls on lack of cooperation from landlords and property managers.
RELATED: NYC Mesh works to replace Time Warner Cable one router at a time
The deal, inked and signed by the Bloomberg administration in 2005, expected to pass fiber optic cables through all residential households by June 30, 2014.
Verizon argued it met the requirement by installing the arteriesfor service and that the disconnect is in being unable to connect the service, which they they was not part of the agreement.
"It's nice that the Bloomberg administration whitewashed your agreement on compliance," said Brooklyn City Councilman Brad Lander, who said he tried to get FiOS service but was told by customer service that service was unavailable.
When Kevin Service, a vice president for Verizon's network operations, began to say he shared Lander's desire to offer its services to more New Yorkers, Lander interrupted.
RELATED: Comptroller: Internet access gap between affluent, poor New Yorkers keeps widening
"It's not a desire," Lander said. "It's a contractual obligation."
The de Blasio administration levied criticism against Verizon in June when its technology and telecommunications agency released a scathing audit finding that company failed to meet the agreement.
Leecia Eve, a vice president for state government affairs at Verizon, told the council the company has been a willing, transparent partner, fending off criticism that they were not committed to meeting its agreement with the city.
"We have participated in good faith negations," she said as some audience members erupted in protest. "We have 2 million households than can request FiOS today and get installed tomorrow."
Council members pushed back on the executives' position that many of the homes that currently don't have access to fiber optic service lack it because of a lack of access to properties by either landlords or property managers who either refuse or are unresponsive.
Eve said the company is resolute in its commitment to the city, and that it has spent $3.5 billion dollars on the initiative.
"We believe addressing our challenges and talking about a path forward…is the right thing and the smart thing to do in the best interest of our customers," Eve said.
Nonetheless, Queens Councilman Donovan Richards warned Verizon that their agreement is up for renewal in 2017.
"We will hold you accountable if you do not do your due diligence," he said.

Real Salt Lake coach John Ellinger is ready for help.
A full complement of assistant coaches wasn't really necessary for the MLS expansion team the past couple of months, but with training camp slated to begin in February, Ellinger is ready for assistance.
RSL announced Monday the hiring of Peter Mellor as Ellinger's top assistant, Brian Johnson as his second assistant and Chris Agnello as his third assistant.
"Besides being knowledgeable, you want individuals of good quality on and off the field," said Ellinger. "You want guys who have a history of getting along with players in a positive way."
With Johnson and Agnello, Ellinger assumes he's getting what he wants based on interviews. But with Mellor, he knows firsthand the character he's hired.
Ellinger and Mellor have coached together since 1992 in the U.S. youth national team programs
During his tenure with U.S. youth national teams and Olympic teams the past decade and a half, Mellor coached future standout keepers Brad Friedel, Kasey Keller and Tim Howard, among many more.
His task with Salt Lake is to mold D.J. Countess, 22, into the team's goalie of the future. He will also be the head coach of RSL's reserve team.
Johnson played in the midfield for the Kansas City Wizards from 1996 to 2000, starting 34 games. Following his stint in the MLS, he played two seasons with the Pittsburgh Riverhounds of the A-League, and he spent this past season as an assistant coach on Ohio State's men's soccer team.
Following Ohio State's run through the NCAA Tournament in November, Ellinger contacted Johnson formally, and offered him the job. In addition to his assistant coaching duties, Johnson will be the lead coach in charge of the Real Salt Lake youth academy.
Agnello, the former Utah Blitzz coach Agnello was a no-brainer for Ellinger.

The Importance of Monitoring Preschool Lesson Plans
Formulating examples of how to monitor preschool lesson plans is not an easy task. In order to do so adequately, it is essential to look at what lesson plans are for.
Lesson plans are used to help teachers deliver lessons optimally to their students. Each lesson plan should contain an outcome part at the end designed to include information concerning how well the children have reached the learning objective (LO) of a lesson. This information can be used for further planning. Monitoring lesson plans firstly helps us assess actual lessons, by extracting from the latter apparent strengths and weaknesses.
Secondly, effective and well designed lesson plans should make it easy for teachers to obtain a variety of information concerning all aspects of the
lessons taught. Moreover, while acquainting them of the class's learning, lesson plans should also inform their teaching. However, although looking back at lesson plans can help teachers judge which activities were or weren't successful, drawing conclusions on individual children's actual learning may require further individual assessment through structured observations.
Finally, monitoring lesson plans should help teachers "plan for planning". A critical examination of a lesson plan is bound to highlight the positive and negative aspects of the latter. Its design and structure for example, could be changed in view to improve planning, teaching and lesson delivery.
What to Monitor in a Lesson Plan?
There are a variety of elements of a lesson plan you can monitor. Here are some examples of the most significant parts or elements of a lesson plan teachers should care to assess.
Learning Objective
Were the lesson's main learning objective and subsidiary aims optimally set? Were they adequate for the children's cognitive level and developmental stage of learning? Did they take into account previous learning?
Set activities, differentiation and extension
Were the activities provided effective in helping the children attain the LO optimally? Were they pitched at the right level by being mindful of the children's diverse abilities? Was differentiation effectively planned for if applicable? Were there extension activities provided for fast learners?
- All round learning/ Learning styles
Did planned activities offer a variety of learning experiences by providing learning opportunities in all areas of development (cognitive, emotional, social etc)? Was the delivery or assignments of activities varied enough in terms of teaching and learning styles including auditory, visual and kinesthetic ways to do so?
Materials and resources
Were the materials, resources and equipment to complete planned activities optimal, safe, enough, available to all children?
Teachers' answers to these questions constitute actual examples of how to monitor preschool lesson plans in view to assess and potentially improve preschool teaching and learning.
How to Use Lesson Plans to Monitor Teaching and Learning
What follows are some suggestions to help teachers answer the previous questions about what to monitor or assess in a lesson plan.
Learning Objective
How can we tell if the class reached well the LO? The children's enthusiasm, their ability to give answers, or to actually do what the diverse set activities required of them and how well they did in those… all are essential elements to consider. If it is difficult to tell during the lesson, you could use a plenary at the end. This should recapitulate the learning that occurred or which should have occurred during the lesson and you can test children's learning by asking informal questions. A game relevant to the lesson taught can sometimes be a great plenary. Paying attention to children's participation in the plenary should give you a good insight on your teaching and the children's learning in any particular lesson.
Activities, differentiation and extension
Informal monitoring of the class on task during each activity, will help you identify how appropriate these were in helping children reach the LO. Pay particular attention to slower learners and check that the differentiated activities provided for them if any, were also adequate. Similarly, assess extension activities for faster learners if applicable. Did they have enough to do or did they manage to finish the extension activities before the majority of the class?
All round learning provided for/ All learning styles catered for
If you followed your lesson plan, you are likely to have fulfilled the requirement of "all round learning." The activities provided should have given your students opportunities to carry out some literacy work, some number work, in the same time, before, after or between some activities in which they may have had to use their creative sense, have a think or feel of emotional or social understanding etc. If not, identify what areas of the curriculum was missing, and how or what sort of activities related to your taught topic and linked to your LO you could have included in order to fill that gap. Similarly, different aspects of your lesson should have offered auditory, visual and kinesthetic learners something, whether in the material or content delivery or in the actual activities or tasks' design or accomplishment.
Lesson Plans can Help Design and Deliver Outstanding Lessons
Well designed, well structured and thorough lesson plans can sometimes be the key to excellent lessons, hence never undermine the planning part of your teaching job. Although assessing or monitoring past lesson plans cannot help you go back and make poor lessons good ones, it can inform future lessons. The examples of how to monitor preschool lesson plans or the consideration of the essential components of any lesson plan here examined, should be integral to any successful lesson plans for outstanding lessons.

Norwich University Office of Communications
December 4, 2017
Assistant Professor of Theater Jeffry Casey (third from left) is a playwright and director who joined the Norwich faculty in July. Teaching classes on theater, literature, writing and public speaking, he describes himself as the "Swiss army knife" of the English department. Casey directed student actors in the November 2017 Pegasus Players production of two Harold Pinter plays, "Party Time" and "The New World." We recently asked Casey—seen here on the site of the new $24M Mack Hall construction project with students Sachi de la Cruz '21, Nick Veldy '21, and Nathan Ures '21—what inspired his career.
Why I Teach:
"When I was in Kindergarten, I kept talking in class. One of the teachers tried to humiliate me by making me teach the class. It was this massively malicious sort of way of humiliating me to get me to stop talking. I think at that point, I spent the rest of my time in school, all two decades or however long it was, thinking about, Could I do this? … Could I do this better? was always my question.
I grew up in rural West Texas, where I endured lots of bad teaching. Whenever I would get angry at that, I always thought, How could this be better? How could this be improved? Long before I ever got a chance to teach, I was thinking about pedagogy. I mean we stick people in these classes for whatever it is, eight hours a day for twelve years, and we have been doing it the same way for how long? I always wanted to imagine just any sort of different way of doing it that would make it more exciting, because I was generally so bored.
By the time I got to college, I just loved the discussions. We were talking about all this stuff. You can see all my books. I've got philosophy, literature, theater, poetry, sociology. I just loved sitting down and talking about all of this stuff. It is something I actually can't live without is that talking.
Hearing what students have to say is an important component of that. Every night during play rehearsals, a student would bring up something that I didn't realize about the text. I think the nature of being good a teacher is just being a student with the students and discovering the text anew every time. Part of why I don't really lecture is because I want [my students] to say things to me. Because I'm sick of my own voice. I'm sick of my own thoughts. I'm with them all the time."

It's often said that music has the tendency to bring people together. There's Woodstock, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Paid Dues, Rock The Bells, Bombfest and even SXSW. Well, I'd like to invite you to the "Good Tunes for Two Bucks" festival. Brought to you by ReadJack.com in conjunction with our own Jack M. Silverstein. Need to see corporate sponsorship to make things official? Well, click on one of the banners at the top and bottom of this page (preferably both, and multiple times) and that'll serve as corporate representation. Usually, there's some underlying theme in festivals such as this one. In the case of this festival, all of the artists featured are from the Chicago area. Varying genres are represented here as the pendulum swings from hip-hop to rock to electro to blues to funk and even to gypsy jazz. We're still in a recession, so I'm not even going to try to sell you a bottle of water from twelve bucks and as an added bonus, you don't have to wait around and nearly piss your pants as you wait around for a vacant portable restroom. Thank me later.
Things get underway with E-Train, whose brief "Get Down" is certain to give the crowd a jolt of energy as the people continue to file in and find their places. Jason Gatz takes the stage next to perform "Whammy" which finds Gatz apologizing to any would-be competitors for being head and shoulders above them all. Head nod-inducing production from The Letter L helps to get the point across. Great Divide hits the stage and two things that immediately stand out are the guitar and the saxophone. There's also a reggae-inspired break on "Fleetwood" that comes off rather nice. The Nocturnals (comprised of Lucca and our own MC Rota) rock the stage with "Where I Dream To Be, Briefly" and the crowd should enjoy the segments of "Ladies Night" that are masterfully spliced into the song between Rota's lyrics. The first half of the show concludes with a stellar instrumental track, "Water Music" by jazz funk band, Spare Parts.
The second half of the show opens with Phillip Morris' smoking (pun intended) exhibition in wordplay, "The MILF Song." The technological jargon and unrelenting double entendres along with the catchy production, make it damn near irresistible. Mark Verbeck's "Stranger Here Blues" features him on the slide guitar, strumming away with a tune that reminds me of the theme from "Chappelle's Show." It's almost a lock to elicit some rhythmic clapping from the crowd. Psalm One rocks the audience with the aptly-titled "Quickfire Challenge," making for a brief but impacting performance with references to peanut butter, "Back to the Future" and even the Street Fighter video game series. A&R's "Taxi" is some electro-pop goodness that's probably as far from hip-hop as possible, but it's just so catchy. It's all about those nights when you're just too pissed to drive. FiveSTAR comes off to me almost like a new-age Blue Oyster Cult on "Tinted Glass." The track also features some vocals from Jai Wil. At this point, those who came exclusively for hip-hop may want to head for the gates. However, those who are open to all types of music (like I know you all are, right?) will want to stick around for tunes from Eyes Manouche and Tell Your Friends. "Djelem Djelem" is an old gypsy anthem, reworked by EM and it even features an accordion. Now who doesn't love accordions? The show closes out with "Dance If You're With Us," a fitting conclusion to this festival that's had a little bit of something for everyone. Uniting and enjoying some "Good Tunes" is what we're all about around these parts, and the organizer of this particular festival seems to have achieved that. Perhaps there will be more festivals such as this one to come in the future...only time and maybe a corporate sponsorship will tell. Drive home safely.

early summer mornings when the light is fresh and the air is clear. the scents are bright. early, when the day is young. the house is quiet. my hair is still matted and i'm sipping fresh coffee. eggs are poaching with lovely grey sea salt and balsamic vinegar tossed in the water. more coffee. and pesto on my eggs, a cup of yogurt and the cats rubbing against my legs. soon i'll fetch the load of laundry that washed while we slept last night and hang it in the sun. i'll admire it a few minutes and then get edgar out to the lake. i'm into it now, my morning has drifted into a day. and i suspect my matted hair will stay curly and crazy until the heat forces me in for a shower hours from now.

Coming from a town close to the Swan Valley I have come to realise that I really enjoy a glass or two of the warmer climate reds. I picked up this bottle of Barossa Shiraz on one of my daily, holiday tours through the local liquor store. Here is my tasting note:
Colour: Deep red and purple; i like wines with good colour depth, and this certainly has that.
Nose: A big, solid nose of black berry fruits and some vanillin.
Palate: Very soft, round wine. Plums and black berries. Generous wine typical of warm climate Shiraz. Good tannins round the wine off.
Finish: Nice soft, slightly spicey finish.
Comments: I loved this nice, generous Shiraz. Will also go a few years in the cellar.

The eye can be taken a look at with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A practical assessment includes the ability to move in the orbit and the reaction of the student to light and accommodation.
The function of the eye may be checked in several ways. The client might be asked to identify illuminated letter or items of differing sizes on exactly what is understood as the Snellen chart.
On the other hand, the assessment of the structural part of the eye might be made in several methods. Tension within the eyeball is measured by a "tonometer." In certain diseases, specifically in glaucoma, the stress in the eyeball is increased considerably.
However, it must be well kept in mind that a patient with an eye issue may have other problems also. Frequently other physical conditions are primary and affect the eye as a repercussion. The appearance of the eye can alert the patient and the doctor to problems in some disruptions of other parts of the body even before other signs present themselves.
Subsequently, one's dependence on sight is highlighted when one faces a short-term or possible irreversible loss of this essential sense. When corrective steps are sought, certain types of vision correction such as contact lenses or eyeglasses are prescribed.
On the other hand, some people are bothered with the reality that they have actually some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this factor, advanced surgical operations were established to encourage reduced usage of contact lenses or glasses. Among which is the now popular LASIK eye surgical treatment.
Basically, LASIK eye surgery is the short-term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its concrete equivalent, LASIK eye more information surgical treatment is another kind of vision correction. The only difference is that with this type of surgery, one's vision is corrected permanently.
With LASIK eye surgical treatment, the refractive mistakes in the cornea are permanently transformed. This can be done using an "excimer laser."
The main function of this surgical treatment is to create a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea using a blade referred to as "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, read this the cornea is finally reformed, enabling much better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Popularity vs. Disadvantages
In the middle of the growing appeal of LASIK eye surgical treatment, there are still disadvantages that individuals should understand. Most likely, the primary factor why this type of eye surgery has ended up being well accepted is due to the fact that the majority of its cases had actually succeeded.
However, in spite of its success, there are still some drawbacks. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation applied to the most sensitive part of the eye
Since LASIK eye surgery includes the operation of the retina, which is among the most sensitive portions of the eye, most individuals state that the operation can be very dangerous.
In other words, a simple mistake might practically cause an person's life time loss of sight. Hence, it is crucial to consider many factors before deciding whether LASIK eye surgery is the ideal restorative procedure one has to go through.
2. It is not a best procedure
LASIK eye surgery might fix your vision however it does not necessarily imply that it can provide you a best vision. Even if analytical reports reveal that 70% of the patients might have 20/20 vision, this does not always imply they have ideal vision.
Given all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the appeal of the operation, LASIK may not constantly be the ideal eye surgery the way a lot of individuals view it
Alternatively, the examination of the structural part of the eye may be made in a number of ways. It needs to be well kept in mind that a patient with an eye issue might have other issues. Often other physical conditions are primary and impact the eye as a effect. The look of the eye can alert the physician and the patient to difficulties in some disruptions of other parts of the body even before other symptoms present themselves.
Like its tangible counterpart, LASIK eye surgery is another type of vision correction.
Two Important items Individuals Do Definitely Not Appreciate With Respect To LASIK Eye Surgical Operations
The eye can be taken a look at with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A practical assessment includes the ability to move in the orbit and the reaction of the student to light and accommodation.


text: My primary project for my time at Dumbarton Oaks was the revision of my doctoral dissertation, "Garden Work: The Horticultural Formation of American Literature, 1850–1930," for final submission to the English Department at Harvard University and eventual book publication. My book argues that the most pressing theoretical and aesthetic questions facing American authors at the turn of the twentieth century dovetailed with the period's most trenchant debates occurring in landscape architecture. As a result, American authors began to pay close attention to landscape design and, eventually, to become garden theorists themselves. The Library and Rare Books Collection have proven particularly useful as I continue to flesh out the historical and aesthetic implications of my research questions. For example, the holdings of Victorian floral dictionaries in the Rare Books Collection gave me new insight into a genre that, while actively resisted by many of the writers in my study, was nevertheless a product of rigorous artistic sensibility and a fascinating set of assumptions about the relationship between text and plant. Works of landscape history also helped me uncover new horti-literary relationships to integrate into my project, such as that between writer Edgar Allan Poe and landscape architect Nathan Franklin Barrett, for whom Poe served as a strangely powerful inspiration. Perhaps most importantly, however, Dumbarton Oaks is a community that allows humanistic researchers to learn from the expertise of landscape practitioners. As a result of many walks, talks, and lunch conversations within this interdisciplinary community, I come away from Dumbarton Oaks with a more nuanced sense of how abstract, theoretical ideas about gardening have been tempered by practical problems of engineering, planting, domestic economy, and management. This new perspective has allowed me to reevaluate many of the assumptions I had made in the early stages of the project, and to uncover potential avenues for future work.

There are several really good games scheduled today in the NFL, but I think the one that means the most to both teams is the Vikings/Cowboys match up. In reality, this is a must win game for both teams. The team that loses is likely done for the season as far as playoffs go. It's the pivotal game of their seasons and they both need it, badly.
The Vikings will have Favre's elbow issues to deal with as well as the fact that he has a scheduled meeting on Tuesday with NFL officials over his "sexting" issues off the field. Favre is still not throwing balls where he should. The Vikings are not running the ball because they are behind most games or they think the only way to win is to throw, throw, throw. Without the run, they become a one dimensional team who is solely dependent on Favre not throwing interceptions. With a bum elbow and a head full of off the field issues – the Vikings are just asking for trouble if they are going to depend on Favre to save them.
The Cowboys on the other hand STILL have not gotten a grip on their issues. They play sloppy. They play without chemistry. They play "stupid" football making mistakes a team with their kind of talent should never make. People have blamed everyone from Jerry Jones to the waterboy. In reality, it is the players between the lines that are the issue. There is something missing from the team and it's chemistry and it's because there are players on this team who sincerely don't want to play together. Of course, Dallas will probably get rid of their coach thinking that will solve their issues – and they will be wrong. But I digress. The team has every possible tool they need to win and go to a Super Bowl and win – but they just cannot do it.
So, who comes out on top in this game today? The team that is less stupid and you can't predict that. It's all up to the players and what's going on inside their own heads and hearts. Will Favre's issues transfer to the field? Will his elbow just plain give out? Will Romo be able to shake his mistakes? Will the Cowboys receivers start playing like they can? Will Randy Moss get all disgruntled because this Vikings thing is just not working out like he thought? Will Favre throw 3 TDs or 5 interceptions? Nobody knows. Nobody. But one thing is certain for both of these teams this game is a must win – period.

Do you Groupon?
After rejecting a $6 billion purchase offer from Google,
But how can Groupon possibly lose money? The company employs a sales force to get clients, but once they find them, Groupon typically take a 50% cut on the deal. For example, with a coupon that costs the customer $25, the client gets $12.50 per buyer to cover $50 worth of service, while Groupon gets $12.50 per buyer to, uh ... send one freaking email?(!)
Have you ever used Groupon? If so, what was your experience like? Do you have tips for knowing which deals to jump on and which ones to bypass?
