ACT in the News
Individualized goal setting a key part of Alabama's new public education plan
On June 21st, the United States Department of Education (USDOE) approved Alabama's PLAN 2020 as our state-specific plan for assessing our students' readiness for college, work, and adulthood in the 21st century… To inform these new accountability measures, a meaningful and parent-friendly student assessment system is also being implemented based on the widely accepted and research-based ACT and WorkKeys as our capstone assessments. All other assessments will be aligned so a learning trajectory for each student can be developed, monitored, and shared between the school, parents, and students in Grades 3-12…This new assessment system also gives us a common measure of student learning between K-12, post-secondary, higher education, and business and industry. This is just one of the many components in PLAN 2020, and each component will be discussed over the next several weeks in subsequent releases of "A New Day for Public Education in Alabama."
Report Shows Skills Gap Boosts US Unemployment
The U.S. unemployment rate is expected to improve slightly when the government releases new data on Friday…With that in mind, researchers at the ACT company have been evaluating millions of workers over five years to see if they have key skills employers want -- applied mathematics, reading for information, and finding and analyzing information. They found that people with more education tended to do better on the tests, but ACT's Hope Clark said higher education did not guarantee high levels of skill. She said many applicants struggled with tests of their ability to locate information and organize it in ways that are useful in the workplace, such as charts and graphs. "If our nation does a better job of understanding the skills and requirements for jobs that are demanded by employers, we can do a much better job of making sure that our existing workforce and our future workforce have those skills that employers are looking for," said Clark.
New Education Trends Help To Advance Manufacturing Skills
The Right Skills Now program is an acceleration of the National Association of Manufacturer's Endorsed Manufacturing Skills Certification System. The certification is officially recognized in the manufacturing industry and works in tandem with for-credit education programs. Students who participate in Right Skills Now receive not only college credit for their degrees and a National Career Readiness Certificate but also hands-on technical experience that prepares them to enter the manufacturing workforce after graduation. The program is offered at Kirkwood Community College, Dunwoody College of Technology, South Central College, Western Nevada College and Lehigh Career & Technical Institute.
TCC first community college designated Global Assessment Certificate Program "Pathway College"
Tacoma Community College recently became the first 2-year college recognized as a Pathway College forgraduates of the Global Assessment Certificate™ program (GAC). The college is now part of a network consisting of more than 100 pathway colleges and universities worldwide. The University of Iowa, Oklahoma State University, and Pacific Lutheran University are among the 34 participating U.S. universities…The GAC is a an internationally recognized university preparation program that provides students with the academic skills and knowledge, independent learning skills, English language proficiency and confidence to enter and successfully complete a bachelor's degree at university. It is a product of ACT Education Solutions, Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of ACT Inc).
Excellence for All: World Class Instructional Systems for Our Schools
Over the past two years the National Center on Education and the Economy's (NCEE) Technical Advisory Committee has been designing and then executing a plan to establish college-ready qualification scores on the lower division English and mathematics end-of-course examinations offered by ACT's QualityCore program and the University of Cambridge's International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) program…ACT Validation Data – These are records on more than 20,000 students who have taken either the QualityCore English 10, Algebra I or Geometry exam in the past several years and then subsequently took the PLAN or ACT college readiness tests or both.
Gap year gains make college education worth the wait-USAToday
As students are finalizing plans to enroll in college next fall, advocates of the gap year are touting the advantages of taking a year to focus on personal development...Two negative perceptions about gap years prevail in the United States: Taking a year off before college is only for affluent students, and doing so sets a student back because they step off the high school-to-college "conveyor belt," said Abby Falik, who in 2009 founded Global Citizen Year, nonprofit based in Oakland, Calif. that supports gap-year choices. Heron was among the 80 percent of students in the Global Citizen Year program that receive financial aid. One-third receive full scholarships from the program, which seeks students with strong leadership potential. Falik said colleges will be key to changing perceptions and behaviors about what she calls bridge years. About one-third of college freshmen don't return to the same institution for a second year, according to ACT Inc., an education testing company in Iowa City, Iowa.
ACT to Move Toward Computer-Based Testing-The New York Times
High school students will take the ACT college admissions exam by computer starting in the spring of 2015 — but at least for a while, the paper and pencil version will be available, too. "We are moving to a computer-based version, but for the foreseeable future, we will also have the paper and pencil test as an option for schools that don't have the technological capability," said Jon Erickson, the president of ACT's Education Division. "We will probably have the option for students to choose paper and pencil, as well. But all the anecdotal evidence is that students prefer the computer."
State agency helps employers match applicants, jobs-Ruidoso Free Press
While the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Union Local 611 provides journeyman electricians through its apprenticeship program, Law is responsible for hiring clerical and warehouse workers for the utility's offices in Jemez Springs, Cuba and Española. When jobs come open at the utility, the Department of Workforce Solutions helps Law assess the skills and abilities of her top candidates with a WorkKeys test. The assessment distills the lists of finalists to those who have the problem-solving abilities, math skills and work habits required in the open jobs. The result, Law said, has been a better match of candidates to jobs and less remedial training of new employees. ..The WorkKeys assessment, Law said, "gives more insight into what their work ethics are and how they handle tasks."
Officials Aim To Improve Iowa Manufacturing Shortfalls-KCRG TV
Community colleges across the state are working together to improve Iowa's advanced manufacturing workforce, college officials announced Thursday. Through a new initiative with ACT Inc. employers at major manufacturing companies can test worker skills in an effort to learn more about their workforce. The colleges can use their business connections to help circulate testing, officials said. "We're streamlined our curriculum, we've evaluated what the workforce skills need to be and then we're helping companies better understand what the specific skills are," said Robert Denson, president of Des Moines Area Community College. In recent years a need to fill manufacturing jobs across the state has become evident, Denson said. Officials hope they can also use findings to better prepare students for manufacturing jobs.
ACT and Numedeon Launch CareerQuest™Free Game Designed to Help Students Ages 8–15 Explore Future Careers-onRec.com
ACT and Numedeon Inc. announced today the launch of CareerQuest™, a free game designed to help younger students expand their awareness of possible future careers. Developed in partnership by the two firms, the game appears on Whyville.net, an online virtual learning world created by Numedeon. The game, which is based on ACT's extensive research on education and careers, is aimed at students ages 8 to 15…"Virtual gaming represents an exciting new venture for ACT," said Encarnaçấo. "Our collaboration with Numedeon is helping us explore new learning and engagement experiences as well as provide a new way for elementary and middle school students to benefit from decades of valuable ACT career data. Along with the new ACT Aspire™ assessment system that we are developing, the introduction of CareerQuest is one more way in which we are working to help improve college and career readiness along the kindergarten to career continuum."
ACT survey finds gap on college readiness-The Washington Post
Heads up, high schools: Your graduates may not be as ready for college as you think they are. New survey results from the ACT assessment organization, made public Wednesday, show a disconnect on the crucial question of college readiness. Eighty-nine percent of high school teachers surveyed said students who finished their classes were well or very well prepared for college work in those subjects.
Alabama could be first state to use standardized tests aligned with common core-AL.com
Alabama elementary and middle schools could be the first in the nation to adopt "next generation" standardized tests from the makers of the ACT test taken by most college-bound high school students. The new assessment system, called ACT Aspire, is "fully aligned" with the controversial Common Core State Standards, reports ACT Inc., the nonprofit company that developed the system...Superintendent of Education Thomas Bice said the new assessments will help educators coordinate across grades to begin preparing students for college or career before they reach high school. "It makes it all align for the first time," he said.
Alabama Common Core Tests May Examine Kids' Motivation, Behavior-Heartland.org
ACT Aspire is part of the next generation of standardized tests quite different from what most adults think of, [ACT's Paul] Weeks said. The system will test kids not just at the end of the year, but repeatedly throughout the year and on computers to give instant feedback about what students have and have not learned. Questions are also no longer only multiple choice but will include open-ended prompts and even activities such as a virtual science experiment where students can "grab" flasks and "pour" liquids into a beaker, Weeks said. Another component of ACT's K-12 tests, called Engage, examines "academic behaviors." These ask students to report whether they can manage their feelings, work well with others, and finish what they have started, for example. Teachers also rate students on these same qualities (here's ACT's teacher guide to rating students this way), such as "being willing to experience new things" and "listen to others' points of view." It's currently for grades 6-9, but ACT is working to apply it to younger grades, too, Weeks said. "It's not psychological or personality testing," Weeks cautioned, but checking habits that promote academic success. The idea is to warn teachers and parents so they can "intervene" before kids are "at risk," he said.
Educated workforce is top priority for state, CSN-Las Vegas Sun
The division works closely with the state's Department of Employment, Training & Rehabilitation to pre-screen clients for workforce readiness and provide the necessary training. This ACT assessment measures "real world" skills that are crucial to job success. It leads to a National Career Readiness Certificate, a portable credential earned by more than 1 million Americans…But how many Nevada employers know about WorkKeys and actively seek out hires with the NCRC credential? The ACT carries a lot of weight when used as a measure of college readiness, why not the workforce? We need to do more to promote this as an economic development tool.
Tri-County receives grant to train baby boomers for new career-Anderson Independent Mail
Following completion of the CNA program, participants can augment their skills by taking additional classes in Dementia and Alzheimer's certificate program. They also may take the WorkKeys job skills test that measures real-world skills and is the basis for the National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC). WorkKeys has three primary assessments: applied math, reading for information and locating information.
MCHS juniors are counseled on their ACT goals, life plans-Richmond Register
When Thomas came to Central three years ago, school administrators began talking about a single focus for the school. "The natural thing that came out was the ACT," he said, which both students and parents say is important to them and what Randy Peffer, the district's chief academic officer, called "the gatekeeper to college admittance."… But ACT preparation begins even before high school. A study called "The Forgotten Middle" revealed if students leave middle school not meeting benchmarks on EXPLORE, there is a 65 percent chance they never meet those benchmarks on the ACT, Thomas said. So, EXPLORE results from eighth-grade are used to determine course placement for entering freshman, he said.
Program Connects Military Veterans and Spouses to Manufacturing Careers in Virginia-Virginia Manufacturers Association
M2M offers integrated career preparation, assessment and training, and transferable skills to help transitioning military or their spouses start private sector careers in manufacturing. M2M helps recently separated veterans to convert past military experience and training into skills credentials. All program participants will assess for the National Career Readiness Certificate and the Manufacturing Technician Level 1 Certification to document core manufacturing technology competencies, signaling they are manufacturing work ready, and will be provided with remediation and skills gap training where necessary.
Louisiana Delta Community College offering free workplace testing to area employers-Monroe News Star
Tomorrow's Workforce Now is a national initiative from ACT, Inc. that provides free testing to thousands of employers and tens of thousands of individuals. Louisiana Delta Community College is partnering with the Monroe Chamber of Commerce to provide this service locally…Tomorrow's Workforce Now will help communities build a skilled workforce and help employers secure a pipeline of talent for the future. The program, introduced by ACT, Inc., and supported by a growing coalition of community colleges across the nation, uses the evidence-based National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC) Plus to demonstrate the power of certified foundational skills in predicting job performance.
Hawaii DOE to drive students toward college, career readiness-Maui Weekly
Starting in April, more than 50,000 students annually will take the ACT PLAN test in grades 8 and 9, the EXPLORE exam in grade 10, and The ACT assessment in grade 11. The new ACT College and Career Readiness System is benchmarked to both the expectations of higher education institutions and workforce. It is also designed to help students plan for future education opportunities and explore careers based on their skills, interests and ambitions.
Strategic alliance to expand ACT test availability in China-Cedar Rapids Gazette

Taxpayers pay more under Walker Medicaid plan
Madison - If the federal government keeps its current commitments, Gov.

Protocol V is one of the very few instruments that addresses the design through to the production of munitions. This is a sensitive area that is generally kept within the domain of national governments and private companies. However, improvements to the design of ammunition and applying strict controls and internationally recognised quality standards throughout the production process can contribute to reducing the rate of unexploded ordnance. This is why High Contracting Parties are urged to take action in these areas.
For a discussion on standardisation across the areas of production to in-service see "A discussion on international harmonisation of the safety and suitability for service assessment" by Dr. Michael W. Sharp, MSIAC.

Tropical Storm Neoguri continues its steady weakening trend as it closes in on the large southern Japanese island of Kyushu. Landfall of the center is expected to occur near 6 am local time on Thursday. Once a mighty super typhoon with 155 mph winds, Neoguri has now weakened to a tropical storm with 70 mph winds as of 11 am EDT on Wednesday. Some mountainous areas of southern Japan are predicted to receive 20 - 28" of rain from Neoguri. With soils already saturated from a week of heavy rains prior to Neoguri's arrival, damaging flooding is expected.
Final question: How does climate change affect sea level? The usual suspects are listed as changing the temperature of the ocean and adding water to the oceans from melting ice. These are important and act globally. Climate change and climate variability are also realized in changes to ocean currents. Since these currents are often close to the coasts, there are potential large, rapid and localized changes to sea level. The changes in surface currents in the ocean are related to changes in the stress of winds on the surfaces; hence, there are changes related to atmosphere pressure patterns. There is local variability due to storms and storm surges. And as the ice melts, the land might rise, might fall, also an effect due to climate change. These sources of variability will be important to planning in the next decades, but on the time of a century or longer, adding water to the ocean from melting ice will dominate; there's really nothing working against it.

NOAA recently produced an interesting map showing when the hottest day of the year is likely to occur in the contiguous U.S. Complimenting this map is one produced by Brian Brettschneider of Borealis Scientific, LLC, which illustrates the date of summer's midpoint (peak of summer average temperatures) which was reproduced in my blog posted last August. Brian has also produced maps of such for the Fall, Winter and Spring seasons. There is also some other great material from Brian herein.

Sunday was a beautiful day for fishing in Upstate NY, and over 30 families came out to participate in my youth fishing clinic. Some anglers were more experienced than others, but none of them lacked any enthusiasm. With my personal weather station on site, we began by first stressing the importance of keeping our parks and waters clean.
This season, we hope to deploy a disaster shelter trailer, similar to the one below, which will help us assist shelter operators in making their facilities fully accessible to people with all types of disabilities. This will include ramping, railings, cots, dinner- and drinkware, and assistive technologies for those with vision, hearing, cognitive and developmental delays.
The stagnent weather pattern across the eastern United States suggests any anomalous warm spells will be short lived and that an average to below average temperature regime will remain.

|Leroy Geving, 73
|Written by TRF Times
Petaluma, Calif - Leroy Geving, a champion race car driver, retired trucker and a resident of Petaluma for over 60 years, died May 23, 2004, at a Petaluma rehabilitation hospital. He was 73.
A memorial service was held on June 1 at Parent-Sorensen Mortuary and Crematorium in Petaluma.
Geving was born March 31, 1931, in Superior, Wis., to Bennie and Gudrun Geving, and grew up on a Highlanding, Minnesota, farm before moving at age 14 to Petaluma. He attended Petaluma high School but left school in his junior year to take a job driving trucks. Since the age of 16, his great passion was racing "hard tops," including his half-brother's 1937 Ford coupe, on the Bay Cities Racing Association circuit. During his racing career from the late 1950s through the early 1960s Geving won four Bay Cities Championships, according to his son, Gary Geving of Rohnert Park, himself an auto racer.
"It's just the adrenaline rush of racing cars at high speed," said the younger Geving, recalling what hooked his father on the sport. "He was kind of a wild and crazy guy of that era in Petaluma."
At Petaluma Speedway and other area race tracks on Saturday, auto racing enthusiasts paid tribute. "That's what his life was," niece Shelly Chappell of Petluma remembered. "He just loved racing."
Geving owned a service station during the early 1960s in Petaluma, and also worked tending bar and in the kitchen for his half-brother, Petaluman Milton Lund, at two local restaurants that Lund ran.
Geving was an Army veteran of the Korean War, in which he served as a tank driver. He belonged to the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1929 in Petaluma.
In addition to his half-brother and son, Geving is survived by his daughters, Cindy Matelli of Santa Rosa and Lori Gutierrez of Murrieta; and his two sisters, Joanne Elwell of Petaluma and Georgjane Bernard of Battleground, Wash. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, infant son Leroy; and his half-sister, Joyce (Lund) Rice.

The nice thing about making your own curry paste is that like anything homemade, not only is it far fresher than anything store-bought, but it is also completely customizable. This really makes a difference when it comes to heat level. I consider this recipe as written to be about a "medium" heat level. For "mild" omit the jalapenos, and for "hot" use 3 jalapenos and add 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (or to taste).

Read what customers are saying about this product:
Rating: 4.50 out of 2 votes cast
Sexy shoes
I brought these shoes in a size 7, this is my size, however, the way the shoe is cut they were too small for me so i had to reorder a 7.5. They still feel a little tight, but i can tolerate them. So when ordering make sure you go up on the size. Other than that this is a sexy shoe and i received so many compliments on them. My husband goes crazy when i wear them. He loves women in high heels. I got the black but wish they came also in a brown and not the taupe. the only reason iam not giving it a 5 stars in because of the sizing and i had to pay to have them shipped again.
Louisville, TN
Very nice for the price!
I don't usually write reviews but I had to comment on these and hope that this helps someone who's skeptical about purchasing them. This is a very nice pair of pumps for the price you pay for them. I purchased them in the color Red and trust me I turned many heads. However, they do run small. I ordered them in a 9 (my exact shoe size) and they were very tight. I reordered them in size 10 and they fit perfectly. I'm very satisfied with the quality of this shoe.

Plasma TVs are subject to screen burn-in. If you have a Plasma TV, we recommend that you limit your viewing of stationary graphics and images, such as video game displays, to no more than 5% of the total television viewing per week.
Displaying stationary images that exceed the above guidelines can cause uneven aging of Plasma displays that leave subtle, but permanent burned-in ghost images in the Plasma picture. To avoid this, vary the programming and images you watch, watch mainly full screen moving images, and avoid stationary patterns or dark bars. On Plasma models that offer picture sizing features, use these controls to change the picture size for a minute or two every couple of hours. If your Plasma model has Pixel Shift (screen burn prevention technology), activate it before you play to decrease the chance of burn-in.

ini_set('zlib.output_compression', 'On') doesn't work
It says that zlib.output_compression is PHP_INI_ALL changable, but in my case at least, this is not true. When using ini_set('zlib.output_compression', 'On') runtime, phpinfo() states that zlib.output_compression is enabled, yet there is no compression.
Since I don't want to enable zlib.ouput_compression for all sites in php.ini, my solution was to enable it in apache conf (.htaccess should work as well) with the line:
php_flag zlib.output_compression on
Just spent hours figuring this out, so I hope it helps other people.
Btw, I'm using Apache/2.2.4 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.3-1ubuntu6.3.

Now that we know who will be competing, who do you predict to win the GPF in December?
Now that we know who will be competing, who do you predict to win the GPF in December?
If Mao lands 5 triples in the LP she will win regardless of what Ashley does.
At the Japan Open Mao did not rotate 5 triples and also had one spin completely thrown out and was still within 1.5 of Ashley. My predicition is if Mao rotates 5 triples in the long Ashley has no chance to beat Mao unless she has some weird element disqualified again. This is considering the programs this season. I think Mao wins on spins and steps. Ashley hasn't been getting her levels high enough this season. It could end up coming down to the the short and if Ashley whips out a triple triple again like 4CC to keep it close.
The IF is a big but I think a 5 triple mao still has a edge on 6 triple ashley. If Ashley steps is up to 7 I think she completely controls her own destiny but I don't think she plans to go for that until 4CC/Worlds.
Last edited by Jarrett; 11-28-2012 at 07:05 PM.
As much as I love Mao, I am losing faith in her ability to land/rotate jumps consistently. She will make up some ground in her spins and fw, but at this point I wouldn't bet my money on her.
ashley would be the odds on favorite, however with the dust up because akiko didn't win sc and nhk, fans made a big deal -especially in japan,
ashley and akiko would be the favorites, but i think akiko has to skate great. ashley just to land on her feet.
I put my vote for Akiko, she's gotten substantially better with each competition this year. It will come down to a clean short for her. Ashley is my other favourite but she has tons of votes already so I gave this one to Akiko. Ashley is my favourite current skater but I would dearly love for Akiko to win. She certainly deserves it after two on the fence losses this season. She's my sentimental favourite
Not clear in the ladies. They are all talented and the factor which will affect the placing is whether they will be at the top of the game that day. Mao has everything to win but doesn't seem to be consistent lately. I will go for the ladies who have shown consistency.
Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them. Publilius Syrus
Go Liza!
Can't believe the day has come when I'm saying this, but wholeheartedly Ashley over any of the other competitors based on what we've seen in the past six competitions. I'm a fan of Ashley, but just didn't see this coming. I hope it'll be an intense competition!
Ashley has it all but does nothing for me. I just can't seem to enjoy watching her like some of the others. Akiko is always fantastic to watch & Elizaveta got so much better at TEB. It's such a shame Mao can't hold it together at the moment. The choreography of the two routines are amazing & the best for me.
But much like the dance event being between two couples I think Ashley will win even with errors.
Ashley was amazing in her 2 events. She looks like the red hot fav to me. Go Ashley!
If Ashley wins so help me.....
I hope Akiko can get the gold she deserves!
I am more excited for Golden Spin than GPF anyways.
Maybe we should start a poll "which ladies will be @ GPF?"
Lipnitskaya is out of GPF due to injury. Gao is in.
Wishing Julia speedy recovery. She must be disappointed. It will be great experience for her to compete against other elite lady skaters. And congrats to Gao for getting into GPF.
Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them. Publilius Syrus
I voted for Suzuki.
Ashley should win if she goes in there w/ a mindset to win. But, if she goes in w/ a strategy to test drive the 3f-3t and 2x-3t and makes mistakes, she probably won't. In which case, it will be either Asada or Suzuki. Tuk is doing well, but I don't know if it's enough to medal against them unless one of them falls apart. Korpi won't be clean. She rarely is. So, I don't see her medalling even if the judges love her.
Gao doesn't have much to lose. Skating clean, she would still finish behind all of Wagner, Asada, Suzuki, Tuk, and Korpi. IMO, she should test drive the 3f-3t in her LP

Choose an excerpt from a long text or a very stand-alone short text, not more than about 3 sentences long. It should be at or slightly higher than the students' current level.

In class, tell students that they will listen to the clip as many times as they want to, with the aim of reproducing exactly what they hear.
Exploring Experimental Practice in English language teaching
This is part of a series of interviews with fellow English language teaching professions to be published on this blog.
The interviewees are drawn from a variety of teaching contexts, in different countries and working with different kinds of learners. What they have in common is having experimented in some way with their teaching practice.
Shona Whyte's insight:
This looks interesting for teacher education/professional development: interviews with practitioners from the ELT blogosphere.
I'm looking for resources to help trainee and newly qualified EFL teachers in French secondary schools get the most out of teaching placements and action research opportunities. So examples of independent professional development in other contexts are worth bookmarking for me.
Mike Harrison writes here http://www.mikejharrison.com/
Mike Griffin: a webinar I will be conducting next week with Laura Adele Soracco.
Are you integrating the global staff room into your everyday teaching practice? Using the internet for professional development and engaging with online communities can appear overwhelming; however, building a Professional Learning Network and participating in ELT communities online help teachers to both broaden their teaching perspectives and provide access to the rich and diverse global staff room. In this webinar, the presenters will share online experiences, resources and strategies for teachers to maximize the Internet as a resource. Additionally, the presenters will recommend some spaces, people, and organizations they believe are helpful for English language teachers.

|Rescooped by Shona Whyte from au service de l'innovation pédagogique
To use technology effectively in the language classroom, pre-service teachers must develop basic techno-pedagogical competences for the classroom and learn to select from abundant online resources. Research underlines the importance of autonomous, collaborative and networked approaches to in-service teacher education and the present empirical study extends this model to pre-service trainees. It investigates whether constructivist principles of group collaboration, web-based research, and social networking can inform effective course design for pre-service teachers of several target languages and to what extent these teachers can acquire techno-pedagogical skills, learn to filter online content, and adopt collaborative learning practices without direct contact with learners. Group projects involving online curation, wikis and social media were analysed and results show progress in techno-pedagogical competences, collaborative skills, and attitudes to ICT, suggesting social media can allow trainee teachers to benefit from and contribute to online teaching and learning resources, laying the groundwork for ongoing professional development.
Constructivist teacher education for constructivist language teaching with technology. Unexpected benefits of content curation for wider teaching community.

Word of the Day
- A somewhat riotous parade, accompanied with the blowing of tin horns, and other discordant noises; also, a burlesque serenade; a charivari.
'Callithump' is a back-formation of 'callithumpian,' a 'fanciful formation' according to the Oxford English Dictionary. However, the English Dialect Dictionary, says 'Gallithumpians' is a Dorset and Devon word from the 1790s that refers to 'a society of radical social reformers' or 'noisy disturbers of elections and meetings.'
