About the course
This programme is full time and runs from September until the end of June.
The programme is divided into three stages all of which are delivered in the school setting:
Stage 1, from September to just before Christmas, includes an initial focus on both professional learning and subject knowledge/pedagogy and a placement in your first school which builds from two to four days a week.
Stage 2, from Christmas to March, includes further professional learning and subject studies and then a full time teaching placement in your second school. Stage 3, from March to June, your placement in your second school resumes culminating in a 70% teaching timetable alongside additional student focussed activity. An enrichment block follows this placement with the opportunity to extend experience to a very different setting. Further professional learning days (about 5 in total) occur in the middle and end of this placement. This professional learning will include preparation and transition to employment. Other enrichment opportunities are scheduled in March, focussing on key national priorities for example phonics teaching in primary school.
During the year and in teaching placements, trainees will be supported by school mentors and lead mentor. These are all experienced and current classroom practitioners.
Interview process
Senior staff from partnership schools will be involved in the selection process. Interviews will be based in a school within the Alliance and will consist of a number of different elements. These will include working with a teacher and students in a classroom, a group discussion, a written task and a formal interview. Through this process we assess applicants' knowledge of the teaching profession and their communication skills.
How school placements work
You will have two placements in alternative primary school settings. We have a wide range of partner primary schools located in clusters across North Yorkshire, Harrogate and Bradford. You will be supported throughout by our Primary Lead Mentor the individual school mentor.
Financial support
You may also be eligible for a loan while you study – note that you'll have to apply for undergraduate student finance.
Find out about financial support if you're from outside the UK.
Minimum degree required: Lower Second GCSEs in English, Maths and Science at grade C or above. (Leeds Trinity University offers its own internal Mathematics test to those who have a conditional place on the course but do not already have GCSE Maths.)

Watergy has helped cities and schools in South Africa bring down the cost of providing clean water to their residents. The Alliance also helped conduct climate change vulnerability assessments in the Lake Victoria Basin for small-scale water utilities.
Watergy projects in India, the Philippines, and Sri Lanka have reduced energy used to provide water and wastewater services, while also educating water users about how they can reduce the amount of water consumed on a daily basis.
Latin America
The Alliance has helped Mexico, Brazil, Costa Rica, Guyana, Panama, Suriname (as well as the Bahamas and Jamaica in the Caribbean) realize significant energy, water and monetary savings through technical and managerial changes in water supply systems.
North America
In 2010, we were engaged to perform a Watergy project for the Bucks County Water and Sewer Agency, which yielded savings of 450,000 kWh per year due to our energy assessment and the financial incentives we identified.

The tradition of afternoon tea has ties to British royalty dating to its inception in the 19th century, which is credited to Anna, Duchess of Bedford. Over the centuries, the practice of taking tea has evolved and become a part of multiple cultures around the world. And still, this time-honored custom remains a steadfast ritual for Queen Elizabeth and her family. While many would love a chance to have tea with Her Majesty, teatime enthusiasts will appreciate a cookbook published by the Royal Collection Trust.
Co-authored by the Royal Chef, Mark Flanagan, and the Royal Pastry Chef, Kathryn Cuthbertson, —a follow-up to —offers a glimpse of the fare the royal family and guests enjoy at teatime and official functions, such as garden parties.
"The one meal that everyone associates with the English is tea," says publisher Jacky Colliss Harvey. "Mark and Kathryn have created versions of these authentic royal recipes and adapted them so people could cook them in their kitchens at home." For frequent teatime hosts, this cookbook provides several recipes using both US and UK weights, measurements, and oven temperatures, allowing them to re-create fare that would be served in Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle.

Breedasong -- I posted upthread about the joyous Seattle experience, but permit me to say -- I've never been to the Southcenter mall. Don't ask me why -- I'm out there for the Great Wall Mall -- but particularly pre-renovation, that mall looked unpromising to me.
I have, however, been to the Bellevue Square Mall, where the Sanrio store had thermoses but no Bento containers. Are there actual Bento containers at Southcenter?

CAIRO/BENGHAZI, Libya: Fighters allied with the Tripoli government in Libya say they have received armored vehicles and "quality weapons" despite a UN arms embargo on the country.
A Facebook page linked to the Government of National Accord (GNA) posted photos appearing to show more than a dozen armored vehicles arriving at a port, without saying who supplied them.
The Facebook page is run by the media office for the GNA's counter-offensive against Khalifa Haftar's Libya National Army (LNA).
Supporters of the various militias allied with the government say the vehicles, which resemble Turkish-made Kirpi armored vehicles, were supplied by Turkey.
Spokesmen for Turkey's military and Foreign Ministry did not immediately respond to phone calls seeking comment.
Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said last month his government would stand by Tripoli authorities as they repel an offensive launched by the LNA
The battle for the Libyan capital has threatened to ignite a civil war on the scale of the 2011 uprising that toppled and killed longtime ruler Muammar Qaddafi. The UN Security Council imposed an open-ended arms embargo on Libya in February of the same year.
Fathi Bashagha, the interior minister for the Tripoli-based government, also visited Turkey late in April to activate "security and defense agreements" between the two governments.
The offensive on Tripoli was launched April 4 by the LNA, which controls the country's eastern half.
Haftar, who in recent years has been battling extremists and other militias across eastern Libya, says he is determined to restore stability to the North African country. He has received support from several countries in the region including the UAE and Egypt.
"The GNA supplies armor, ammunition and ... weapons, to its forces who are defending Tripoli," read a statement published on Facebook.
The weapons embargo has been regularly violated by different groups in Libya, according to the UN. Haftar has accused Turkey and Qatar of supplying weapons to his rivals.
In a September report, the UN's group of experts on the country noted an increase in the number of armored vehicles supplied to LNA.
Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said last month his government would stand by Tripoli authorities.
Initially controlling swathes of Libya's east, Haftar launched an offensive in the south of the country in January before attacking the coastal capital last month.
His forces have been held back from the city center by pro-government forces, with fighting continuing on the outskirts of Tripoli and particularly in the southern suburbs.
Daesh attack
Two guards and a soldier were killed and four other people were kidnapped on Saturday in a suspected Daesh attack targeting Libya's Zella oilfield, a security source said.
The death toll was confirmed by the National Oil Company (NOC) which condemned the attack in a statement on Saturday evening.
The attackers struck at an entrance gate to the field, which lies near the town of Zella about 760 km southwest of the capital, Tripoli, before fleeing, according to the source and local residents who asked not to be named.
Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack through its Aamaq news agency later on Saturday.
The Zella field belongs to Zueitina Oil Company, which pumped 19,000 barrels per day on average in the last quarter of 2018 across all its fields.
An engineer told Reuters workers at the field were safe and facilities had not been damaged.
Libya's NOC chief said on Saturday continued instability in the country could cause it to lose 95 percent of oil production.
Speaking in Saudi Arabia ahead of a ministerial panel gathering on Sunday of top OPEC and non-OPEC producers, Mustafa Sanalla also confirmed the Zella attack.
Islamic State has been active in Libya in the turmoil since the overthrow of Muammar Qaddafi in 2011. The militant group took control of the coastal city of Sirte in 2015 but lost it late in 2016 to local forces backed by US airstrikes.
In the last two years, the group has targeted three state institutions in Tripoli, home of the UN-backed government of national accord led by Prime Minister Fayez Serraj.
Saturday's assault took place as LNA, which is allied to a rival administration in eastern Libya, mounts an offensive to control Tripoli.

Ariz. Proposes Tolling On Section Of Interstate 15
Arizona has proposed turned a section of I-15 into a toll road.
The Arizona Department of Transportation is hoping to turn a 29-mile section of Interstate 15 in the state's northwest into a toll road, the Arizona Republic reports.
ADOT issued its request to the Federal Highway Administration in August. It would be the state's first toll road. Under the proposal, according to the Republic, car drivers would pay $1 to $3 and truckers would pay $6 to $10 to travel on the road.
The department estimated parts of the highway within its borders are in need of more than $250 million in repairs, and Arizona has no money to pay for it. FHWA responded that it would "take some time" to consider the request, according to the newspaper.
If approved, ADOT said it would conduct financial, environment and transit studies to analyze the project's viability, the Republic reports. A trucking industry association has already come out in opposition on the proposed toll.

About Wind Automation
The use of geared motors and drives, PLC, SCADA, and DCS has increased the efficiency of wind power electricity generation. The geared motor and drive component of a windmill controls the rotational speed and directions of the turbine. PLC, SCADA, and DCS solutions help in monitoring and controlling of the turbines. The solutions are also used to store, transmit, and distribute electricity generated through turbines and transferred to substations through electricity grids.
Technavio's analysts forecast the global wind automation market to grow at a CAGR of 7.98% during the period 2016-2020.
Covered in this report
The report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global wind automation market for 2016-2020. To calculate the market size, the report considers revenue generated from the automation solutions.
The market is divided into the following segments based on geography:
Press Release
Technavio Announces the Publication of its Research Report – Global Wind Automation Market 2016-2020
Technavio recognizes the following companies as the key players in the Global Wind Automation Market: ABB, Emerson Electric, Schneider Electric and Siemens.
Other Prominent Vendors in the market are: Bachmann electronic, Bonfiglioli, General Electric, Honeywell, Mitsubishi, Omron, Regal Beloit, Rockwell Automation, Vestas Wind Systems and Yokogawa Electric.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from Technavio's team said: "A driver contributing to market growth is the high return on investment (ROI). Although construction and installation costs are high, vendors are investing in offshore wind power as ROI in offshore wind power is as high as 18%, which gives certainty to investors. High rates of ROI are further boosted by the incentives and other tax benefits provided by governments to promote and support offshore wind power generation."
According to the report, rising demand for renewable energy has attracted heavy investments in solar, hydro, and wind power since 2010. A majority of the investments may be used as a capital fund to construct wind power plants. Capital investments include costs incurred in project development, government permissions, turbines, installation, commissioning, and other operational costs.
Further, the report states that many countries across the globe prefer coal, gas, and hydro as source for power generation compared to wind. The conventional power generation involves less capital expenditure compared to wind power generation. Hence, restricts the market growth.
Companies Mentioned
ABB, Emerson Electric, Schneider Electric, Siemens, Bachmann electronic, Bonfiglioli, General Electric, Honeywell, Mitsubishi, Omron, Regal Beloit, Rockwell Automation, Vestas Wind Systems, Yokogawa Electric.

Most bloggers know about WordPress. However, many don't know that much about it other than the name. Keep reading for insight on how to get the most out of WordPress.
A clean permalink will make it easier to post blogs with long titles. Extremely long URLs are usually made up of excessively descriptive titles. To help shorten your permalink, use "tips-parents-unruly-kids."
Make sure you're taking time to get familiar with the tools and other options you can use when you do some WordPress blogging. For instance, clicking on the button called KITCHEN SINK provides you with many options with regard to formatting and importing that can help you to customize your posts. SCREEN OPTIONS is another tab you are likely to see on the admin pages. Utilize this to manage and format your site.
With WordPress, users can easily have video blogging on their site. This might take some work, but you won't regret it. A lot of web users are drawn to video blogging because of their personal visual preferences. A video is just able to do so much more than the written word can when it comes to communication.
Be sure to learn all you can before you even install WordPress. Plan in advance so that you can be ready for anything. Experiment with different plugins, research search engine optimization and learn how to write original, effective content to make using WordPress easier.
When it is time to begin posting, set up a schedule. You will feel motivated to post regularly if you have a good schedule. You can actually make all of your posts for a week in one day. You can then schedule it so WordPress will upload some of these posts at a later date.
Search engine ranks can be boosted with just a little more time spent while adding photos. Use the title tags and alternate tags to include keywords. If a visitor "pins" your image onto Pinterest, the title that you selected is what will show up on their screen automatically.
Better your greeting at the very top of your site in WordPress. This makes things a bit more personal with readers since you can make a message that shows how others found your site. In this way, your page will seem more human, and it will be accessible via the plugin called WP Greet Box.
WordPress is not a new program, and many bloggers have at minimum a passing familiarity in it over the years. Even those already using WordPress, however, may not be getting the most out of it. With any luck, this article has ensured that you will not be among those who have failed to get the most out of this terrific tool.

Bob Jones Seminary Conference Back On
Terrible weather postponed this conference when it was first planned last year (or was it two years ago?). Now it's back on.
I've got limited time, but I hope to hear several of the presentations live. For readers not in Greenville, I'll try to remember to post some links to audio afterwards. I'm always happy to hear Mount Calvary Baptist Church preachers and graduates, so I'm sure Minnick, Casillas, Leedy, and Talbert will be on that list.
But I'm also very interested to see what Brian Hand will come up with in his semiotics of culture lecture. I've done a lot of thinking about the topic, but not nearly enough reading. One of the best things I've read on it has been Vanhoozer's essay in Everyday Theology (part of the Kindle sample).
2 Comments
My brother-in-law (Tim Lovegrove) will be speaking, so I expect to catch at least his session on sermonaudio or wherever they post them afterwards.
It's a decent roster of BJ's best and brightest seminarians (with one glaring absence…you know who I'm talking about, Mark). I would expect higher-level engagement with the topic than would have been possible a decade or two ago. Still, for a topic that deals so much with issues of culture, society, and the like, it'd be nice if they could have brought in a few believing sociologists, historians, and scholars from other disciplines to do some of the application sessions.
For example, how great would it be to have Mark Noll come and talk about how mid-twentieth century evangelicals forgot that they were strangers in a strange land and so supported the racial power structure of the time?

Artist Spotlight: Alex Turner
The visual department has produced many unusual facets of art throughout the past couple of years. From 3-D printing to taxidermy, students have been exposed to a wide array of trades to possibly pursue in their future. Recently, student's interest in the complicated craft of animation have fueled many clubs, guest speaker lectures, and even lessons in digital art classes. Visual junior Alex Turner is one of the most active students interested in 3-D animation, as he dedicates much of his time in and outside of the classroom to his art.
"Shows like 'Flapjack', and movies like 'Treasure Planet' were big inspirations in starting it," Turner said. "3-D captured my attention the most because it had everything I wanted; I could sculpt everything and make it realistic "
Turner has been involved in animation since he was in middle school. Originally, he taught himself how to work in animation programs such as Blender, but upon coming to Dreyfoos he has discovered a culture that embraces every area of art, even if it may be unconventional for a high school student.
"Dreyfoos has helped me a lot, by taking figure drawing classes I learned how to draw realistic poses and proportions," Turner said. "I learned how to use different techniques to improve from [digital teacher] Mrs. Glosmanova, she's a nerd for animation, so she has no problem seeing and critiquing my work."
Along with the help of his teachers, Turner is co-president of Dreyfoos' animation club. This gives him and other students a chance to share ideas about art and show off their individual work with one another outside of the classroom.
"From being co-president of animation club, I get to spread and teach others about what 3D animation is and why I love it so much," Turner said. "I have tutored two kids so far, though [one] decided to stick to 2-D [animation], I still really enjoy it."
Turner hopes to pursue animation into his college years, and even as a career. The techniques he has learned so far have taught him many useful skills such as working in a team of people, and patience to make a complete piece.
"Animation is a long process, making a scene can take up to a week to make, after that, rendering usually takes weeks," Turner said. "[Communications senior Chayse Banks, visual junior Lucio Hernandez and I] started a production channel on YouTube called 'Allusious Studios' for film and animation, it's really cool to be able to upload all of our stuff on there and share it with the world. Ideally, I'd love to work for a studio like Pixar or Disney because of inspirations like [Disney animator] Glenn Kene who drew 'The Little Mermaid' and 'Treasure Planet,' his story really inspired me and taught me a lot about animating and progressing."

I will share with you four ideas on how to increase your reviews on TripAdvisor and Facebook for your hotel. Let's start off with the most important idea; it's provide exceptional customer service to the guest. This is the most important component in increasing your reviews.
Your customer service needs to be remarkable. Not just average but remarkable. The problem now is that the majority of customer service is the same.
The second idea is to delight the guest. Use social media and find what your potential guest likes and what he doesn't. Figure it out, there are plenty of companies that provide you an easier way to collect data.
The third idea is understanding your audience. You need to know who your guest is. It's a critical component for your success. If you know who is coming to your property you will be able to serve them better.
The fourth idea is Ask for reviews. Simple as that.
The fourth idea… it's on the podcast.

War-gaming 2012: The New Republic of Texas
I made a mistake the other day. The silverbacks over on Vox's site were having a good old time, thumping their chests, throwing leaves in the air, and snorting and bellowing about how great things were going to be once Texas seceded from the Union. And I, as is my nature, just couldn't resist posting one little line, tweaking the cowboys and suggesting that perhaps this time it might not exactly be 1836 all over again.
My mistake. Big mistake. Okay kids, you can knock off the hate mail now. Insulting Minnesota and Minnesotans doesn't get any traction with me anyway; I'm not from here in the first place and my loyalty to this state is purely mercenary. I live and work here because I'm well-paid to do so, and, trying to get back on-topic, I've been thinking and writing—and occasionally getting well-paid for my thinking and writing—about Post-American History for more than 20 years now.
So let's go back to using our forebrains, and try to war-game this out. Assuming Texas actually can and does secede, and the rest of the United States does not overtly attempt to prevent its leaving: what happens next?
Here's what I've got so far.
- I call this scenario, 2012: The New Republic of Texas, to put it in the short-term near-future. If I was writing this as a pitch for a publisher I'd call it 2015, just to buffer the publisher's usual 1- to 2-year lag time and give the book a longer shelf-life. The events herein can take place any time between 2011 and 2016.
- Important word: overtly. Don't forget it.
- Following the Texan Declaration of Independence, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham, speaking in New York, frames the soon-to-be-famous Rodham Doctrine, officially severing all ties between the United States of America and the Republic of Texas. Expatriate commentator Vox Day, writing from the safety of a bank vault in Switzerland, observes that Ms Rodham could have saved everyone a lot of time by simply saying, "Oh yeah? Well, we didn't want your stinky state in our country anyway! F*** Texas!"
- The New Republic of Texas immediately secures its southern border along the Rio Grande River. In a display of schadenfreude almost two hundred years in the making, the state of Oklahoma immediately petitions Congress to secure its southern border, along the Red River, and this time Congress responds with remarkable speed and overwhelming funding. The Red River Wall is completed in record time.
- The trouble starts in the rough country, between El Paso and Big Bend. With a violence not seen since the days of Pancho Villa (that would be 1916, for those of you who learned history in public schools), bloody cross-border raids into Texas wreak terrible havoc. Women stampeded, cattle raped; the Texans are outraged. The Mexican government disavows any responsibility and blames it all on the Juarez cartel.
- Somewhere near Taos, a small group of highly spiritually attuned New Age American psychics detects a tremor in the force, so profound it momentarily interrupts their conversation and almost causes them to spill their shiraz. Then they resume talking about themselves and their latest book-signings and gallery openings.
- To stem the flow of refugees north, Oklahoma asks for and gets permission to blow the I-35 bridge and put gunboats on Lake Texoma. Marietta becomes a key forward firebase destined to join Khe Sanh and Falluja in the annals of American history.
- Throughout the next months, the cross-border raids increase in violence and extend east, eventually all the way to Brownsville. The Mexican government disavows any responsibility and blames it all on the Gulf Cartel. President Yomama, alarmed by the spreading violence, order six battalions of the newly formed Civilian Homeland Security Corps to New Orleans. This first operational deployment of the CHSC yields mixed results: two battalions desert and stay in New Orleans, at least until all the liquor stores have been looted and their hold over the local narcotics trade has been consolidated, but four battalions do eventually straggle along in fairly good order in the general direction of Lake Charles.
- In a firefight near Laredo, Texas Rangers score their first significant victory over the border raiders. More importantly, in this fight they seize incontrovertible evidence that the raiders are neither narcoterrorists nor renegade Mexican federales, but rather Venezuelan troops of the Che Guevara brigade, equipped with advanced Chinese weaponry.
- Being unrecognized but having been given provisional NGO status, the Texans go to the UN and demand intervention. In response, the Mexican ambassador whimpers and simpers and asks how anyone could expect poor suffering Mexico to do anything, given the norteamericanos' insatiable appetite for illegal drugs, and besides, those aren't terrorists, they're freedom fighters, waging war to liberate their brown brothers from the oppressive tyranny of the cowboy-booted white Texans. The UN General Assembly, being fully capable of believing in two diametrically opposed things at the same time without the least hint of cognitive dissonance, passes a resolution equating Texanism to Zionism and supporting the right of self-determination for persons of indio-hispanic ancestry living in Texas.
- Rigoberta Menchú publishes, I, Rigoberta Menchú, Again, describing her years underground with the Che Guevara Brigade, fighting against the terrible racist Texans. Despite accusations that she was provably in New York or London during most of the time period described in the book, it spends twelve weeks at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list, wins her another Nobel Prize, and becomes required reading in all American public schools.
- At the Durban III conference, Texans are declared to be "just like white South Africans, only with even funnier accents." Throughout North American and Europe, college students protest, riot, and demand that everyone everywhere divest from and boycott Texas.
- Bono holds a charity concert in Dubai, to raise awareness and money for the suffering Mexicans in Texas.
- The UN Security Council, alarmed by the way events are rapidly spinning out of control, votes unanimously to intervene. Two companies of Pakistani peacekeepers on full UN expense account are dispatched to Puerto Vallarta to secure and protect the hotel bars, and an absolute embargo on all arms and potential war materiel is imposed—on Texas. Elements of the French and Russian navies are dispatched to the Gulf of Mexico, where they enthusiastically enforce the blockade of the Texan gulf coast ports.
Okay, that's all I've got so far.
Your move.

Build's looking good-thanks for sharing!
10-01-2018 #24
Thanks Hoghead!

This is the first steps to the build after getting the engine in the frame and shimmed.
Getting the rear wheel with tire centered. Wheel must not be moved from this position.
Getting the front and rear sprocket in alignment.
Getting the necessary spacers in place on the drive side.
Make sure the chain will not rub the rear tire.
This wheel required a 1/4" thick sprocket spacer to get the chain away from the tire.
This is for those that have not done this before.
You only have to do it once.
It is easier with a good selection of spacers.

I was looking for rear caliper mounts for rigids and found out the prices were completely insane! Example...
Just the simple flat aluminum bracket with 4 holes in it and no bushing was being sold for $71-$165.,.
Meanwhile in the sprint car world a caliper bracket is $9.99!!!
The car world would not put up with a price as high as the motorcycle world.
Unfortunately there was a lack of used ones on Ebay. Those usually sold for $15.00
I actually sent a letter out to a vendor complaining about this price. (Excuse me, price point!) Happy.
Please do not pay $149 for a bracket with no bushing.
Now vendors are calling it a "vintage" caliper bracket!

I got a brake disc and the caliper mount plate.
With those parts I was able to complete the left side of the rear wheel set up.
I fabricated a Brake reaction rod frame mount and tacked it on the frame.
I happen to have a Yamaha Warrior rear engine mount which was removable that I got when I bought a pile of bolts from Ebay. So I used that mount.

Next week I will be working on a battery box and I will position it down
low in the frame and easy to service as possible.
Now that the frame is level I can also think about positioning the gas tank.
I will not be using a sportster tank. I have a very beautiful tank from a Suzuki Intruder.
The real Intruders.

Fantastic build!
I'm thinking about getting another frame from CycleOne and I just wrecked my roadstar chopper. What were the specs on your? Looks like a steeper angled backbone than the last one I had. I love the profile.
10-10-2018 #34
Is the wrecked chopper salvageable?
Many expensive parts on it. Almost all of the parts were new except the exhaust.

Already been in touch with Kate. The team at Cycleone is the best.
10-10-2018 #37
The wheel on the frame you like is a 16" x 5.5" 200mm tire. A fatter higher profile tire.
The wheel on your bike was a 18" X 5.5 x 180mm. (Could take a 200mm tire.) Lower profile tire.
Both wheels have almost the same outside diameter. Your choice.

I worked on the battery tray placement today.
I got a plastic black box from a stock Roadstar to simulate the battery.
I still need to fit the oil tank and electrics compartment.
I wanted the battery as low as possible due to its weight.
Also I did not want the battery to crowd the chain area.
I will have easy access to the battery.

Fine spot for the battery. I fucking abominate buried batteries on anything.

I recently found out that my Wife's new Honda car required that you must remove the entire front grille and other parts to get access to change a headlight bulb. I was furious and we took the car to the place where she bought the car and asked them to do it. Insane! I actually liked Honda before that.
The mechanic had a trick to reach through a inner wheel fender panel to get the bulb out but the car had to be on
a lift with the front wheel off!
I have a lot of stories.
A Yamaha V Star requires that you have a wrench to be able to get access to the tool box on the motorcycle!

The poor performance of many architecture departments in last year's research assessment exercise is forcing the Royal Institute of British Architects to rethink the structure of architecture courses.
Bryan Lawson, head of the school of architecture at Sheffield University and chairman of RIBA's research committee, said only ten of 36 architecture schools' departments were rated 4 or 5 in the RAE. Sixteen schools achieved 1 or 2. To address this and other problems with architecture, Professor Lawson's research committee is drafting a new RIBA research policy.
Students embarking on the seven-year architecture course normally study for three years to achieve a Part I qualification, followed by a practical year. This is followed by a two-year course leading to a Part II qualification, finishing with another practical year which includes examinations.
"The problem is that universities are trying to teach five years at undergraduate funding levels," he said. "Because the upper part of the qualification is not postgraduate, the normal engine of postgraduate taught courses does not exist and this has led to a lack of specialisation and the absence of a strong research culture."
Professor Lawson would like the structure replaced with a broad-based undergraduate course followed by a more specialised post- graduate course that would allow more research.
For architects to be more powerful in setting the agenda for the built environment they must become significant players in the research field, he believes. "The alternative is further decline in the profession's influence."

Anti-'Pig' Lyrics Burn Firefighter

|More news stories on Real Hate Speech
By day, Rodney Jean Jaques is a firefighter in Mount Airy. He's supposed to be one of the good guys.
Jaques also moonlights as an aspiring rapper, going by the name "Cal Akbar." He had some success two years ago, as one of his songs became the theme for a national campaign about fire prevention.
But Jaques, 30, has suddenly landed himself in some serious hot water with the city's Finest, thanks to another song he created with his rapping alter-ego.
The hard-driving untitled song, which surfaced on the Internet earlier this week, features lyrics that clearly encourage cop-killing.
"I got a surprise for them cops," Jaques raps, as gunfire erupts in the middle of the song. "I hope the news is taping this, 'cause I'm gonna turn pigs into bacon bits."
The song, on a Web site touting Jaques' 2006 CD, "Sin City Vol. 1," and his record company, the "Larsiny Family," plays as cartoon flames burst onto the screen.
Not surprisingly, Jaques' jarring lyrics have incensed the Fraternal Order of Police. FOP president Bob Eddis fired off an internal bulletin demanding that Jaques be fired.
"The most deplorable part of it is that this is coming from someone we stand shoulder-to-shoulder with in times of danger," said [Richard] Costello [Eddis' predecessor], who noted that he was not speaking on behalf of the FOP.
When reached by phone, Fire Commissioner Lloyd Ayers said only: "The matter is still under investigation." A Fire Department spokesperson later said there would be no additional comments until next week.
On his MySpace.com page — which touts him as "Akbar the Great" — Jaques lists his interests as "drinking cognac, handguns, assault rifles … driving fast, sex and any activity that I can get adreneline rush from."
The page also features a blog post with a quote attributed to "Akbar 2004" — "The hood made me cold and ruthless, I blow and brew sip, just I don't go a lose it, I'm so elusive, the Po-Po is slow and useless."
[Editor's Note: Listen to tracks from Sin City, Vol. 1 here and here.]

I'd recommend assembling with a friend as aligning the Z legs can be difficult on one's own. Another word of advice - READ THE INSTRUCTIONS carefully. I've heard horror stories of people trying to build these and having to drill their own holes, but that is simply because they didn't read the instructions properly...all the holes align perfectly fine! No use of a drill is required.
Anyways, that's my 2 cents - great product and quality for the price. Happy with it.

2019 Period Poverty Summit
A one-day conference for people and organizations working towards ending period poverty in Nova Scotia.
Across the country and here in Nova Scotia, individuals, organizations, businesses, and governments are addressing period poverty and the need for universal access to menstrual hygiene products.
Join us to share information, create partnerships, and help build a more equitable Nova Scotia.
There will be panel and group discussions throughout the day. For the full Agenda, visit our Facebook page.
YOUTH and STUDENTS are strongly encouraged to attend and participate! Come on your own, as a group, or with a teacher chaperone. See ticketing for details.
Lunch and snacks provided.
Co-hosted by Friendly Divas and Dignity. Period.
Dignity. Period. is a campaign to help people who have periods across Nova Scotia access menstrual hygiene supplies when and where they need them.
Friendly Divas is a non-profit organization working towards sustainably ending period poverty by distributing menstrual cups to those in need.
Facts about period poverty
- One-third of Canadian women under the age of 25 say they've struggled to afford menstrual products. * There are about 3 million girls and women between the ages of 10 and 24 in Canada — this means about 1 million of them are affected by period poverty.
- 1 in 7 girls misses school because she doesn't have period products. **
- About 1 in 6 households in Nova Scotia is food insecure. Nova Scotia is the province with the highest rate of food insecurity in Canada. *** At least 41,000 individuals received food support from a food bank in Nova Scotia in 2017. When people with periods can't afford food, it's likely they can't afford other necessities.
* Plan International Canada, 2018 ** Always Confidence and Puberty Study, 2018 *** Feed Nova Scotia
Generosity Policy
The Period Poverty Summit is open to everyone. If cost is a barrier, please contact us for a complimentary ticket.

Sumitomo Chemical to Expand Automotive Materials business in China
May. 23, 2017
Sumitomo Chemical has decided to strengthen its Automotive Materials business in China by establishing a new manufacturing and sales base for polypropylene (PP) compounds in the city of Chengdu, Sichuan Province as well as providing manufacturing capabilities for thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) at its existing facility in Dalian, Liaoning Province.
PP compounds are high-performance materials made by kneading synthetic rubber, glass fibers, and inorganic fillers into PP to improve or vary such parameters as impact resistance and functionalities according to target applications, e.g. automobile bumpers, and interiors. TPE is a material that melts and becomes pliable at high temperatures, while at the same time exhibiting a rubber-like elasticity at normal temperatures. It can be processed by molding in the same manner as thermoplastic resins. The primary applications include automotive materials, such as airbag covers and body seals.
China, the world's largest automobile market, is seeing an ever-growing demand for PP compounds for automotive exterior or interior applications. It is reported that people's rising awareness of auto-safety has been accompanied by an increasing number of vehicles equipped with air bags, including those made of TPE. The city of Chengdu where Sumitomo Chemical's PP compounds manufacturing facilities are to be located is one of the major cities in the western part of the country and holds the great promise of a continued high economic growth in the years to come. In light of the situation, Sumitomo Chemical has decided to further expand its Automotive Materials business in China by reinforcing the manufacturing capabilities.
Elsewhere in the world, Sumitomo Chemical is constantly working to develop the Automotive Materials business geared to high-growth markets. As far as PP compounds are concerned, the Company set up a new marketing base in Mexico and a manufacturing plant in India last year. Going forward, Sumitomo Chemical will continue to work on expanding and enhancing its global network of production and marketing capabilities so that it can respond to customers' diverse needs speedily and timely.

So thank you to all who gave advice when I asked the first time around about storing comics. I've got my first longbox and a pile of boards and bags and have started my collection. Since there are 2 series in the box and about to be 4 what's the best way to identify the different series. It'd be nice if I could get a handful of longer boards so I could label each section and file the new issues after I'm done with them.
Also i have to admit I'm a bit of a variant cover addict. I've got 4 for Star Wars #1 and 2 for Darth Vader #1 and I'll look at getting some new ones the next time I pick up another comic.
For anyone on a subscription do the comics come in good condition? I'm not a mint condition snob, but I'd like them to be in good shape. The nearest store is 20 miles away so getting them in the mail would certainly be much cheaper for me. I just worry they'll show up all beat up.

Giveaway closed. Congrats Shelves!
Last month I was invited by Digital Parents to attend a "Bloggers Briefing" by Norton at the amazing Cafe Sydney. We sat in a tiny private dining room, looked at the awesome view, ate amazing food, met some gorgeous bloggers and chatted with the fantastic team from Norton. This was a team that got it. They didn't do a hard sell, they didn't try to scare us about cyber crime. They listened to our concerns, answered our questions and treated us as though we had something worthwhile to say.
Have you ever been a victim of cyber crime? One of my family members was scammed by someone he trusted online – a member of a gaming "clan" that he had been playing with for years. It just goes to show; you really don't know anyone online.
I share a lot online – both here on my blog and on Facebook and Twitter but I know how important it is to remember that nothing is ever private. It doesn't matter how strict you make your Facebook privacy settings, there is always a way around them.
The biggest point I brought away from the day is that it is very important that I stay up to date with technology in order to ensure I am able to keep Lily and my family safe on the Internet. At the moment I am probably the most internet/computer savvy of the family but it won't be long until Lily is. Already she is a pro at using my iPhone to access her games and I only just yesterday found her using a game on my Dad's iPad that I hadn't shown her before. It seriously scares me to think what gadgets she will use and how she will access the Internet in the future. It is so important to me that she knows how to stay safe and that I am aware of what she is doing. Perhaps most important is that we have the type of communication that enables us to keep her safe and for her to feel safe to talk about us about anything that is worrying her.
The purpose of the lunch was to brief us on the new product that Norton will be releasing soon – NortonOne. The difference for this product compared to the other Norton products is the new membership program – instead of purchasing a separate product for each device you pay for a membership that covers up to 5 devices. You can simply go online from each device and add it to the membership. How much easier does that sound?! It will also have some other features including a better technical support with a 2min call guarantee – you enter your phone number and problem online and they promise to call you back within 2mins. Now that's customer service!
The lovely folk from Norton and Digital Parents have arranged for me to give one of you a copy of Norton 360 version 6 antivirus for PC. That's a year's worth of protection, retailed at $129.99, for free!!
To enter all you have to do is leave a comment telling me how you keep or plan to keep your family safe online. Do you have house Internet rules? Do you know what your kids get up to online?
Terms and conditions: Open to Australian residents only. Competition starts 11am EST, Thursday 05/04/2012 and ends 6pm EST, Thursday 12/04/2012. Entry requires a comment answering the question outlined above. Facebook comments will not be included. Entries must include a valid email address. Winner will be chosen by Mr Monkey based in creativity. Winner will be announced on this blog, my Facebook page, via twitter and email. If the winner does not contact me within 5 working days then the prize will be redrawn from the same entry pool.
Disclaimer: This is not a sponsored post. I was invited to attend the lunch by Digital Parents, was reimbursed for my transport costs and received a sample product. All giveaway costs are covered by Digital Parents

Avery and Jamison were both good at communicating their expectations. However, they framed their messages quite differently.
Avery said things like, "The vice-president thinks we did a good job on the project." "The Human Resources' (HR) policy requires. . ." "The customer insists that we meet the agreed upon deadline." "The IT (information technology) staff thinks we should all be onboard with the new software system by the first of the month."
When communicating similar information, Jamison said things like: "I'm very proud of you, and the vice-president told me he really likes the project." "I support our HR policy which requires . . ., and here is why." "I want you to meet the customer's deadline as we agreed." "I'm committed to being in full compliance with the new software requirements and I expect you to be also."
Put simply, Jamison owned the messages and made them personal. Avery treated the messages like a contaminated substance and served only as a conduit through which they passed. Avery's approach gives rise to the expression, "He passes the buck."
Managers who personalize their messages generate more employee commitment, as expressed by a staff member who said, "I just didn't want Jamison to be disappointed in me."

Michele: Waiting For A Tow
"I saw this in a movie once. It's ok "
"You're a moron."
"I'm getting us help."
"Do you even pay attention when you watch movies? What makes you think it's a good idea to get out of the car now?"
"I have a plan."
"Thanks, Mr. Movie Man. I'm now less scared because you have a plan."
"Let me do this. I'll be back soon with help."
Ten seconds later, a scream.
She peeked out her window and saw him laying on the ground, bloody with fresh stab wounds.
He smiled wanly. "I saw this in a movie once...."

Michele: I'll Follow The Sun
One morning she alighted
upon his windowsill
"I saw her standing there,
and my heart stood still"
She had wings of woven silk
a beauty sharp as pain
she made him feel melancholy
like september in the rain
She flew off and he followed
but soon he was alone
a huntsman watching mocked,
"looks like this bird has flown."
he walked across the universe
a lonely, nowhere man
calling to his faerie love
"i want to hold your hand"
one night she whispered in his dream
"please do not despair"
for a faerie always is
here there and everywhere

Michele: Expellarimus!
To: Dursleys
Your nephew has been expelled from Hogwart's.
At first, Harry was a bright, intuitive student with a great future. Despite the pressure put on him in regards to his ancestry, he performed magnificently.
Recently, however, Harry was spending a lot of extra time in the potions lab. We assumed he was being studious and inventive.
To our shock and surprise, Harry spent that time making methamphetamine for sale and distribution to our student body.
He has single handedly created a serious drug problem on our campus.
You may pick him at Azkaban in three to five years.

Michele: You Must Remember This
"I want to remember."
"It isn't your memory."
"I can take it."
"We're here to observe, not steal or interfere."
He put his hand to the girl's scalp again. The girl stirred in her sleep. He pushed down on her head and reached the spot again where he found the chocolate. He pushed deeper, sensing something big was there.
Calliopes, parties, games. His fingers glided over them, caught on something big. He grasped and pulled.
Darkness. Screaming. Fire. Fear.
They were now his.
Later, a girl woke up not with the usual scream, but with a smile.

Michele: Beam Me Up
The statue, once golden, was covered with mud and rocks. It was both muddy effigy and a testament to gullibility.
These towns all end up the same. Desperate people hard up for end times, willing to believe that some stranger with weird, yellow eyes would bring beams from the sky to take them to heaven for the low, low price of $500.00. That they are surprised when I turn out to be a con man just adds to my enjoyment of their disappointment.
I cleaned off the statue, opened the door and set the course for the next small town.

Michele: It Went South
I walked away from her confession.
She came clean.
I felt dirty.
I walked, tried to clear my head. Maybe if I had a better, job, a better car, a nicer house. Maybe.
Maybe it wasn't my fault.
She pulled up next to me.
"Where you going?"
"Walking to New Orleans." She knew what i meant.
She followed me to the bar and sat idling in the parking lot for a bit.
I left New Orleans at three. She was sitting on my porch.
I walked past her, shut the door in her face and began the process of forgetting.

Michele: Genius
The first meeting was held in the basement of Dunkin' Donuts. Everyone was surprised at the number of people who showed up, especially Dr. B, who had to run upstairs for more munchkins.
They all eyed each other with a combination of respect and fear, wondering who was here to work together and who was here to steal ideas.
When everyone had coffee and donuts, the Mad Scientists of Tomorrow meeting was called to order.
An eager member raised his hand .
"What are we going to do tonight, Dr.B ?"
The doctor sighed.
"Same thing we do every night, Pinky...."

Michele: Final Words
You spend six months trying to force me into retirement, send me off with a gold watch and a shitty pension, now you're crying for me to come back.
Sorry guys, I ripped that "S" off my chest the day you made those damn teenagers your heros. I warned you. Don't trust the fate of the world to some kids, superpowers or not. But noone listens to an old man. What do I know? I'm just the guy who saved the world from some villains.
Now you want me to finish the job those kids couldn't.
Fuck you. Superman's dead.

Michele: How Mad Scientists Get That Way
After 17 years and 1,754 false cries of Eureka!, Bartleby had done it. He invented something that actually worked.
He yelled to his assistant. "George! Eureka! The InvisiSpray™ works!" He was almost in tears as he handed George the sprayer. "Try it!"
George sprayed his cigarette lighter, which turned instantly invisible.
Bartelby clapped his hands in excitement. "And the most practical use will be hiding these from my wife!!" He sprayed several credit cards, a checkbook and $4,125.00 in cash.
"Wow. What do you use to get it all back?"
"Back?" Bartleby looked toward his invisible wealth and sighed. "1,755."

Heart Health
Heart Health
Heart health is an important way to prevent certain conditions of the heart such as heart disease or heart failure. Heart health is about changing your eating habits and lifestyle choices in order to live a healthier lifestyle. By making the following changes in your daily life and foods you eat, you will be helping to improve your heart health for the better.
Portion Control
The first step to heart health and eating habits is to cut back on your portions. Everything can be enjoyed in moderation so paying attention to how much you eat is vital. The larger your portion and more you eat, the higher your fat and cholesterol will be. A diet high in fat and cholesterol can lead to complications including heart disease. If you want to pay attention to your heart health, then cut back on portion controls. It may take more effort in the beginning but in time you will become familiar with how big a 4-ounce piece of chicken is or what ¼ cup of cottage cheese looks like.
Fruits and Vegetables
You have read it before and here it comes again; you need to eat more fruits and vegetables to keep your heart healthy. This is because fruits and vegetables, especially fresh, have a large amount of vitamins and minerals your body and heart need to stay healthy. They are also high in dietary fiber and low in calories which help to maintain a normal body weight. Vegetables and fruits have substances that can help prevent cardiovascular disease and they reduce the amount of meat, cheese and snacks you eat when you fill up on fruits and vegetables. The best fruits and vegetables for keeping a healthy heart are those that are fresh or frozen, low-sodium canned vegetables, or canned fruit packed in water or juice. You should avoid vegetables with a cream sauce, coconut, fruit packed in heavy syrup, frozen fruit with sugar added, and breaded or fried vegetables.
Whole Grains
Another important food group for a healthy heart is whole grains. Whole grains are a great source of fiber and nutrients for regulating your blood pressure and overall heart health. To add more whole grains in your diet, simply replace refined grains like white bread and white rice with whole grains like brown rice, whole wheat bread, whole wheat or whole grain pasta, couscous, barley, and quinoa. Whole grains to look for are whole wheat flour, high fiber cereal and buckwheat. Avoid white flour, white bread, muffins, and frozen waffles.

A woman's work is never done in "Roma," the Netflix-hosted film nominated for Best Picture and nine other Academy Awards, including Alfonso Cuarón for Best Director, and both female stars for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress. Shot in gorgeous black and white and set in 1970, this is a meditative and emotional film that shows deeply personal moments and struggles brushing against a tumultuous social and political background that echoes and informs the upheaval of the family in the center of the story.
Cuarón, who also wrote and shot the film, drew from his own childhood in Mexico City to create this story of four children, their parents and their beloved maid and nanny, Cleo. The last shot of the film features a dedication to his own childhood nanny. What the film concerns, so beautifully and powerfully (and slowly!), the deep complexities of their relationship. Cleo loves and is loved by the four children in her care. But at the end of the day — literally, as she nightly ascends a staircase in the sumptuous apartment to her own narrow quarters, where she is begrudged too much electricity — she is just an employee.
Men don't come out looking well in "Roma," and the women constantly pick up the pieces. Like Cuarón's own father, the patriarch of this family abandons them. At one point, the kids accidentally see him out with another woman and this film does such an uncanny job of presenting how kids experience that kind of thing, as an aside you'll never be totally sure what really happened. Both Cleo and the family's mother, Sofia (Marina de Tavira), grapple with abandonment, motherhood, careers and child rearing in vastly different ways. Throughout, their respective experiences are deeply informed by class and race.
Cleo is an indigenous woman from the countryside who works in the affluent household of some white people, and her own womanhood and maternal experiences are subsumed by theirs. Nevertheless, they share and undeniable bond and deep love. It's very complex and imperfect. This film is subtle, nuanced and, appropriately, ambivalent about the social implications of these arrangements.
First-time actress Yalitza Aparicio is stunning as Cleo; she is tender and loving with the children, and stoically endures her many hardships. Sofia, her employer, rages and despairs over her philandering husband, while Cleo takes a more matter-of-fact approach to trying to contact the valiant gentleman who impregnated her and, upon receiving the news, pretended to go to the bathroom during a movie and simply never returned. Both women's varied approaches yield the same result, and Sofia expresses what could be the film's title: "Women are always alone, no matter what."
While "Roma" is a deeply personal expression of one man's childhood memories, I responded to it, from today's climate, as a very affecting way of viewing a woman's dilemma of work versus motherhood. In a way, these women are two sides of the same coin, sharing the endless work of mothering four kids. These women are torn, as many women feel torn, between their many responsibilities, but what this film so very profoundly explores, in many different, subtle scenes, is the depth of that responsibility, and the anguish of love. They fetch, and comfort, cook and fold, earn a living and make a home, and "Roma" never glosses over their realities. Its beautiful grittiness is a glorious tribute.
"Roma" is streaming on Netflix.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2017 - Expanded Digital Release of "Getting to the Point"
Today Futureman Records has released an expanded downloadable version of my solo album "Getting to the Point" from 2000 on Bandcamp (includes FLAC download option), iTunes, Google Play, Amazon Music and more! This marks the first time the album has been available from mainstream retail outlets. In addition to the ten tracks on the original release, this reissue includes several alternate versions of songs from the original sessions, a cover of ELO's "Strange Magic," and an expanded PDF booklet with lyrics and additional photos!
The album features a core band of Derrick Anderson (the Bangles, the Andersons) and Tommy Amato (Rocket Scientists) with special guests Dave Kerzner (Kevin Gilbert, Sound of Contact), Vince DiCola (Transformers, Thread), David Bryce (Funky Young Monks), Greg Ellis (Vas, Erik Norlander) and others. Be sure to check out the brand new video below for "The Truth," which features Derrick Anderson and was shot by Firepilot Digital.
Mark McCrite: The Truth (from "Getting to the Point")
Singer songwriter, guitarist, composer, and audiophile Mark McCrite reflects his complex musical taste in all he does. His passion is melodic and often moody music with lush, sophisticated arrangements that often feature acoustic guitar, Mellotron and Wurlitzer piano. This leads him naturally to a strong appreciation for artists that straddle the line between classic progressive rock, melodic pop and modern indie rock. Living in Los Angeles he performs locally as well as online with musicians from around the world.
He moved to Southern California in 1983 and met his primary musical collaborator and lifelong friend Erik Norlander in high school. They played in many bands together over the years, most notably Rocket Scientists and Lana Lane, recording approximately 30 CDs and touring the US, Europe and Japan.
Lately he has been splitting his time between working with his daughter Emily McCrite, his Pink Floyd tribute band A Fleeting Glimpse and an online community of musicians called Theme Music – an international online collaborative music club.

NOVEMBER 2015 - Matt Brown Birthday session
On November 8, 2015 I participated in a very special session. Here's the back story... Matt Brown - the fearless leader and founder of Theme Music had a big birthday recently. One of the members of the group schemed to pull together many of the regular contributors to cover Matt's songs as a gift to him. The end result was that on his birthday, Matt was treated to a top to bottom cover of Rycopa - the 32 track double album swan song by his old band Uncle Green - and each song was presented as a video! I was assigned a song to cover and I talked to some others who were also assigned songs. We decided to pool our resources and make a supergroup to perform 3 songs live and record audio/video live as it happened. The band was : Circe Link, Nancy Gardos, Christian Nesmith, Michael Sherwood, Jason Chesney and Christopher Allis - wow! It was a magical party!
OCTOBER 2015 - Themestock IV in Atlanta, GA
In October, I traveled to Atlanta to be part of a very cool event called "Themestock." This is an annual event where 100 or so members of the Theme Music group all meet up in Atlanta. About 50 different combinations of these musicians play a marathon show at a cool local venue. It was a whirlwind trip - I was only gone for 3 days, but it felt like 2 weeks! I was in 4 bands playing bass, acoustic guitar, lead and backing vocals. I couldn't help but think that if I had not moved to California, this would have been my circle of friends...
