Heart Rate Monitors (HRMs) have been around for a while, but it is relatively recently that the training techniques and thinking have dovetailed with the technology. This now means that experts advocate training within your heart rate zones as the best way to get the most out of your time spent training. It is important not to be put off by the thought that you need to measure your heart rate as it is relatively straightforward and applies as much to someone who has started walking to improve their general fitness or lose weight right up to those who are training for a longer-term goal such as a triathlon or a marathon. Heart Rate Monitors are not just for 'serious' athletes and runners - they are a simple and effective way to ensure that you are either maximizing your exercise to lose weight, build your endurance or fitness.
I recently wrote an article on walking and certainly the best way to ensure that your walking regime gives you the most benefit is to use a heart rate monitor. Certainly I have managed to increase my fitness levels and weight loss by knowing which heart rate zone I am exercising within.
An HRM is a device that you wear during any kind of exercise and is there to accurately record your heart rate. This gives you immediate feedback about your 'work rate' which is a measure of how hard your heart is working.
The fitness of your heart is the key to aerobic fitness, which is exactly what you want if you are trying to lose or maintain weight or build your general fitness levels. According to the advice on the London Marathon Guide using a Heart Rate Monitor is one of the most effective aids for tracking and developing your progress on the path to increased aerobic endurance. If you are definitely not up for the Marathon then the Rambler's Association and the Nordic Walking Association also recommend the use of an HRM to track progress.
Stopping to take your pulse during a workout is not exactly ideal. Not only will your heart rate reduce as you've stopped, it is not a complete and accurate measure, HRMs constantly measure your heart rate through the whole workout. Most HRMs have both a graphical display, audible alerts and are programmable to suit your goals.
Ensuring that your heart rate stays within a given zone for your age and fitness goals will significantly increase the benefits of your activity. It is also motivating as you will be able to see improvements in your heart rate as it should reduce as you get fitter. You could use other methods such as 'How out of breath am I?' or 'How tired am I?' but these are very subjective measures. Using an HRM will ensure that you work as hard as you need to and stay there and prevent so-called under training – so no slacking!
Most HRMs show you the number of calories burned during your workout. Actually seeing the amount calories burned and progress in your overall fitness is really motivating. It also means that if you are trying to lose weight and you are keeping a food and exercise diary, accurately measuring the number of calories expended through exercise is essential. Whilst we are on that subject, all the experts say that safe, maintainable weight loss is more likely to be achieved when you keep a food diary and increase your activity levels.
Using an HRM does not require a degree in mechanical engineering, but is does require you to add some details, such as age. Often there are other excellent functions, such as the features on the Polar range. Polar's OwnZone™ determines your specific heart rates limits for a given session and Polar's OwnIndex™ which is a 5 minute fitness test to measure where you are right now. It is worth understanding that you do need to record some details so that your optimum heart rate training zone is accurate, the good thing is that you do not have to program in your work-rate zones for the heart, although you can tailor it, remember that an HRM will work it out for you. As usual with all gadgets there's the simple functionality that you can use to get started then there are extended features for those of us who love to play!
So, if you do want to know a bit more about the science behind it here's the details…
You need to know two numbers, your maximum heart rate (MHR) – the fastest rate your heart is able to beat per minute and your resting heart rate (RHR) – the rate at which your heart beats when you are completely inactive and have no external stimuli such as music, stress or general background noise. From these you can accurately calculate your training zones.
There are several ways to do this based on age as follows:
If you have been fairly sedentary up until now subtract your current age from 226 for women and 220 for men – this is your MHR.
For example a 36 year old man's MHR would be 220 – 35 = 185 beats per minute.
If you are already fairly active and whether you are a man or woman subtract your age from 205.
For example, a 35 year old man or woman's MHR would be 205 – 35 = 170 beats per minute.
If you are very active then you may wish to use the percentage formula where as a man you subtract 80% of your age from 214 and a woman should subtract 70% of their age from 209. For example, a 35 year woman's MHR would be 35 x 0.7 = 24.5 then 209 – 24.5 = 184.5 beats per minute.
These formulas are based on the standard curves and they represent the 'normal' MHRs for a specific age, they are pretty close to your own MHR
The only way to do this is to do a 'fitness test' where you exert yourself for several minutes, whilst wearing your HRM watch and strap. Most good HRMs have a fitness test option. You could of course 'do it yourself' and the recommended way is to undergo some interval training. That is where you exert yourself vigorously for a given distance or time and then take it a bit easier for a specific distance or time.
Two ways you can do this are:
Sprint, preferably up a hill for 300 – 500m metres, and then jog back down. If you do this several times – say 5 or 6 you are very likely to reach your maximum heart rate. This figure can then be used to program manually into your Heart Rate Monitor Watch.
Use a treadmill and do basically the same as above, choose a distance or time to really sprint and then the same amount of time or distance to jog, wearing your HRM of course!
Fit individuals have low resting heart rates and as you get fitter yours should decrease. If you are very sedentary and unfit your RHR could be 90 beats per minute (bpm) or above, whereas a fit individual could be around the 60 bpm mark. Why is this? Each heartbeat of an athletic person such as an elite runner pumps more than twice as much blood as that of someone who does not undergo much activity. This means that the heart beats less whilst still providing enough oxygen/blood flow to the body. This kind of strong and large heart is indicative of a high level of aerobic fitness.
Actually measuring your RHR is quite difficult and the best time to do it is before you get out of bed. You are less likely to be stressed nor have you had your injection of caffeine! Lay still and calm for 2 or 3 minutes and let the HRM record your heart rate.
If you have used the HRM in automatic setting then your heart rate zones will be calculated for you. This is important as training without knowing what you heart rate zones are eliminates all the benefits of using a heart rate monitor. Again, it is the most accurate way to measure calories burned and for people who are following a weight loss or weight maintenance plan this is very important.
Here's a guide to the training zones…
60% to 70% of your MHR (or energy efficient for weight loss). If you are exercising in this zone you are mostly burning fat. A mistake that lots of people make when their goal is weight loss is to go hell for leather when they are training - more pain does not necessarily mean more gain. In addition, this recovery zone allows your body to regain glycogen which you may have expended doing a faster paced workout.
Means literally "with oxygen". Used to describe exercise at an intensity which allows muscles to use oxygen to convert glucose and fat into energy. Aerobic exercise is done at a comfortable pace so that the muscles have sufficient oxygen available.
If you are training in this heart rate zone you are developing your cardiovascular system. Training in this zone will, over a period of time give you fat burning benefits and a greater capacity for aerobic activity, that is you won't feel so out of breath. Often when spinning this is used and it helps build muscle strength.
Means literally "without oxygen". Usually through high intensity exercise where the muscles lack sufficient oxygen to successfully burn fuel. This results in the body producing lactic acid. Anaerobic exercise is very intense and can only be sustained for short periods of time.
For professional athletes loads of benefit can be gained from this type of exercise, the body uses very little fat and uses glycogen instead BUT what tends to happen is that the body then produces large amounts of lactic acid and usually your heart rate increases but your ability to exercise (your pace) reduces.
Mostly this is used for very short bursts such as a sprint by athletes, for most of us though it probably means you won't be able to complete your workout.
Exercising in this zone allows you to develop speed, using spinning as an example, 'sprinting' on the bike to 100% of your heart rate for short periods is good for you. Just remember though any exercise done at this level needs to be carefully monitored.
The formula for manually calculating all these zones is: ((MHR-RHR) x Percentage Level) + RHR
For example to train in the middle of the aerobic zone:
If my MHR was 180 and my RHR 70 the calculation would be…
((180 – 70) x 0.75 ) + 70 = 152.5 beats per minute
So when exercising I would aim to keep my heart rate at 152 beats per minute to get the best out of my workout. Remember though it is worth revisiting these and recalculating your zones as you get fitter as your RHR should reduce. If you are using the automatic settings on your HRM, then re-do your fitness test.
If you exercise regularly, use an HRM and train within the zone that suits you then you will see good results – ultimately that means a lower heart rate, increased fitness or weight loss. Not only will your heart rate be lower, but you will be able to run, walk, do a step class, jog or cycle the same distance or time but feel as if you are not working so hard – less out of breath, lower heart rate, less sweat! This means, of course, that you need to up your intensity to get to the next level.
I think the old adage of buying the best one you can afford is a good rule of thumb. The most popular and accurate are ones that come with a chest strap which contains the heart rate sensor and transmits this to a watch worn on your wrist. Polar have a great range such as the Polar F11 which is intermediate or the Polar F6 or Oregon Scientific Vibra Trainer both of which are good all round HRM watches.
If you are going to buy one, then there should be some basic features as follows…
Ability to measure your heart rate and show it graphically
Should have basic watch functions
Ability to automatically enter data such as your age so your heart rate zones/limits are worked out and used to calculate your exercise intensity and calories burned
Calories burned – some might disagree, but I think this is essential for any HRM purchase.
Some of the more advanced features could be useful, it really depends on what level you intend to go to. Advanced features (which generally come with a higher price tag) include:
Analysis of data collected – giving averages, time spent in different zones
Connectivity to your computer – Polar, for example have the ability for you to upload your training data and track progress
Recording of more than one workout so you can analyse it later.
Accessories to measure distance for runners
A basic heart monitor can cost less than £50 and they go up to a few hundred pounds. Best thing to do is decide on what basic features you must have and use that as a starting point. The good thing is that they are pretty stylish these days and many people wear them as a watch all the time.

Vickroy: SXU prof heads to Rome to see medieval nun get top honors
By Donna Vickroy firstname.lastname@example.com Twitter: @dvickroy October 5, 2012 8:02PM
Dr. Avis Clendenen, a professor of religious studies at St. Xavier University, penned "Experiencing Hildegarde." Hildegarde of Bening is a new saint who will be given the church's highest honor on Oct. 7 in Rome. | Joseph P. Meier~Sun Times Media
Dr. Avis Clenden will present "Experiencing Hildegard of Bingen — Medieval Nun, Doctor of the Church, Wisdom Figure for Our Time" at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 6 in the Butler Reception Room at St. Xavier University, 3700 W. 103rd St., Chicago; (773) 298-3000. Admission is free.
Article Extras
Updated: November 8, 2012 6:09AM
During the 12th century, Hildegard of Bingen was an author, mystic, healer, musician, prophetess and proponent of holistic living.
She composed more than 77 hymns, which continue to top classical music charts today. She wrote a trilogy of religious texts and had them illustrated. She authored the only two medical books written in the Western world during that time. As if that's not enough, she also preached about the importance of living in harmony with nature — decades before St. Francis of Assisi was even born.
"She was the most prolific medieval woman," said Avis Clendenen, professor of religious studies at St. Xavier University in Chicago. "She was, by all accounts, a Renaissance woman centuries before the Renaissance."
Clendenen, who lives in Crestwood, has studied and celebrated the work of Hildegard for decades. Her book, "Experiencing Hildegard: Jungian Perspectives," was published in 2009. For good reason, she will update it with two new chapters later this month.
Through the course of her work, Clendenen became so entwined with the story of the medieval abbess that she somehow sensed 2012 would be Hildegard's year.
She was right. Hildegard became St. Hildegard in May. On Sunday, she becomes only the fourth woman in history to receive the Catholic Church's highest honor, doctor of the church, a title bestowed upon saints whose writings are deemed to be of universal importance to the church.
And Clendenen is in Rome for the celebration.
Before she left for Vatican City Friday, Clendenen gave a presentation on Hildegard to the Theology South group at St. Xavier Thursday morning.
"This is a momentous time for the church, for all who have believed this should happen to Hildegard and for religious women in this country," Clendenen said.
A Renaissance woman in her own right, Clendenen was the first woman accepted into the masters of divinity program in the Jesuit School of Theology at Loyola University in 1972. She taught religion at Mother McAuley High School from 1978 to 1982 before moving on to the university level.
She describes Hildegard as a prophetic model of a future church, one that celebrates the contributions of women, as well as a model of a full human being for women.
Hildegard was born in 1098, the 10th child in a wealthy family. She was a sickly youngster who experienced visions that were often accompanied by symphonies of sound. At age 8, she was dedicated to the church and sent to live with an anchoress at the monastery of Disibod. There, she studied German and Latin as well as the Bible and music. As an adult, she became the head of a monastery of women, traveling by horseback to other monasteries to preach.
At age 42, Hildegard began to write. Her works included a book about nature and one on medical treatments. She also authored "Scivias," a multimedia manuscript of 26 mystical visions with theological commentary on topics such as creation, original sin and the end of time.
Though Hildegard has only recently begun to receive acclaim in the United States, she has been celebrated in Germany for decades. Sept. 17, the anniversary of her death, was declared a church holiday there in the 1940s.
Clendenen said she began to sense that Hildegard's time had finally come when German Cardinal Ratzinger became Pope Benedict XVI in 2005. She could feel momentum growing for the long overlooked patron saint of mid-life women.
In January, Clendenen mentioned to Monsignor John Canary that she had a feeling Hildegard would become a doctor of the church before the year was out. At the time, Hildegard was not even a saint, a required step to becoming a doctor.
"I asked him if he could ask Cardinal (Francis) George to get me a ticket (to the ceremony in Rome)," Clendenen said. He said he didn't know of any such ceremony being planned.
In May, Hildegard was named a saint. That same month, Clendenen ran into the monsignor again. This time he asked the questions. "He said, 'Cardinal George wants to know how did you know?'" she said.
She jokingly said, "Tell him I know the butler."
Clendenen is representing the Archdiocese of Chicago.
Donatta Yates, program coordinator for Theology South and former principal at Eisenhower High School in Blue Island, said the honor is well-deserved.
"Avis has followed the Hildegard journey all her life, so for her to go to Rome as a Chicago representative is as it should be," Yates said.
Joan Zabelka, group member and local business owner, said, "This is so exciting for Avis. She's been working on Hildegard for so long and to finally have her recognized as a saint and now a doctor, it's like a gift."
Angela Durante, provost at St. Xavier, called Clendenen a brilliant academic and an important voice in the field of religious studies.
"She's like an academic athlete," associate provost Rick Venneri said. "She's the most disciplined writer I know, a careful and solid researcher. People seek her out."
Not only is she an expert in her field, Clendenen is approachable, genuine and funny. In her research, she connects Hildegard's spirituality and the psychology of Carl Jung.
"Jung found her a worthy companion in his search to finding the inner soul," Clendenen said.
Clendenen was introduced to Hildegard in the 1980s when she was searching for a subject for her doctorate. At the time, Hildegard's work was just starting to be translated in the United States.
Since then, Clendenen said there has been a resurgence of interest in Hildegard's music, particularly among chanters. And Hildegard's morality play, "The Play of the Virtues," still is performed on many college campuses.
In addition, holistic healing and living in harmony with nature were schools of thought embraced by Hildegard that are now growing in popularity.
A medieval woman for modern times, Hildegard at last is being celebrated for her talent, strength, vision and holiness.
"If she could do all this back then, we can strive to be like her; we can be better," Clendenen said.

Out of Time
The most useful is the ability to keep my wits about me when thrust into a situation fraught with danger, discomfort, and the potential for personal injury. You're thinking I learned this during wilderness campouts. No. It came from being tossed into a meeting full of screaming hooligans once a week. Nature holds no terrors comparable to that of a group of twelve-year-old boys, at least when you're the quiet kid in the corner who'd really rather be reading Little Women.
And this weekend I'm once again facing a foray into terra incognita more frightening to me in some ways than any forest full of creeping, biting things. Lollapalooza.
It's not exactly the same, mind you. I will have a trusty and considerate guide in C, who is very good at leading me through new experiences with a knack for knowing when I'm going to freak out.
And I not only made it through the Intonation Festival, I had a very good time. So what's to worry about?
I'm not worried, I suppose. Just puzzled. Puzzled at the recurring feeling I get when going to an age-appropriate activity that I'm much, much too old for it. It doesn't help that out of the entire festival lineup, the only person or band whose name I recognize is Billy Idol, and I can only vaguely remember two of his songs because they got played on classmates' boomboxes back in the 80s.
When I was tiny, adults frequently said in my hearing that I acted "like a little old man" and I wonder if they cursed me with this permanent sense of being forever removed from my own generation.
I have trouble even being nostalgic with exact contemporaries. "Remember Duran Duran?" Vaguely, yes. I remember I didn't like them at all, didn't buy their albums, didn't watch their videos, didn't care. Even when I tried to. I once forced myself to spend babysitting money on a stack of cassettes at the mall, classic 80s pop music I knew everybody else was listening to. Forced myself to listen it for a whole week. Hated every minute of it.
But put me in a room with a group of people who were teenagers in the 40s, let them get sentimental about Jo Stafford or Peggy Lee, and I go right along with them. "They don't make voices like that any more." No, they don't, and it's a great pity, and I regret it as much as they do. I didn't hear this music played at home, so who even knows where the taste for it came from?
I am keeping an open mind. I'm truly looking forward to the festival. It is very hard for me to be anywhere with C and not have a great time. He's already made it clear that if it's too much for me I can leave, no hard feelings.
And still I wonder, how normal is it for somebody my age to be having reservations like this in the first place?

I predict-- you will have a great time!
And, despite the fact Peggy Lee was dead before I was born, I still wax nostalgic about her. I love her voice, and I know all the words to all her songs. I try to sing her songs, and people throw things at me.
May you have a great time, and I wait with baited breath for your excellent pictures of the event! - 5:27 PM
- Cheryl said...
ah the things we do for love....
I never knew who the popular singers were either... "Knights in White Satin......." - 5:32 PM
- Franklin said...
Oh, I'm not doin' it for love, Cheryl. I'm doin' cuz I wanna, in spite of my reservations. One of the best things about C is that he doesn't expect me to do things for love, whether it's going to a concert or knitting a teddy bear.
I will say, though, that he does have a charming enthusiasm that makes me want to try new things, even when I'm scared of 'em.
BTW, love the new icon of you. The heart is a nice touch. - 5:48 PM

Did you get anything pierced or tattooed for the occasion? Enquiring minds want to know ...
- goblinbox said...
Music festivals like this aren't much about the music, that's a main point to remember. People congregate for the purpose of congregating and looking the same as each other and, well, for taking chemicals en masse.
I remember wondering what the deal with the Grateful Dead was. I was a music major (majoring in classical voice, thank you very much, but rapidly being seduced by JAZZ) and after listening to several albums and bootlegs, I knew that the band totally sucked and could barely even qualify for the title "musicians," but I went to a show anyway and had fantastic time because a show was much greater than the sum of its parts: it was a gathering, a community, a happening, a gestalt.
Personally, I *like* contemporary music and I probably wouldn't go to Lollapaloaof sdfudifzzfaaaafiaoasaaa, so I think you're terribly brave and fierce for taking the plunge, and I hope the whole scene utterly amuses you! Have so much fun! - 3:50 AM

What Rabbitch said.
You never know, you might find a Peggy Lee-esque voice in that Lollapawhoosit mix somewhere...I don't know if k.d. lang is still hanging around that crowd, but her voice makes a body melt. - 8:50 AM

email me and I will send it...I don't have your email..

I know exactly what you're talking about...feeling on the outside, and not really "getting it". I've been there. But sometimes, when I know I'm removing myself again...stepping outside my body, I try to remind myself that it might just be fun.
I hope you enjoyed yourself. - 3:25 PM

I think my dad (now 75) was like this, too. He and his best friend used to sneak off to Toronto (from Kitchener) to see the opera when they were teenagers. I think Peggy Lee is too 'pop" for him.

There's no such thing as "normal," my dear. I dimly recall trying to convince you of that in the distant past. I think you know that now, but sometimes it's nice to be reminded.
Hope you have/had fun!

Its a good price, no complaints about it, so do not expect cleanest place in Varanassi, but Its extremely filthy. Location can be annoying for some people or other will just find it great, it is between the two main gahts and it wont take more than 10 minutes to walk from the hotel. However, It is on the river, next to a small burning Ghat, so expect 24/7 cremations.

And for those that asked about this quilt... I made it based on my method for sewing a scrappy patchwork style block.
You can find the tutorial HERE.
It was part of the Sew Scraps Along last fall. Other great tutorials and information on scrappy quilts can be found by clicking on SEW SCRAPS below my header. I don't have the nap mat anymore, it was a gift. So I don't know the exact measurements. But it was about 36-42" square. I'm guessing blocks were 8-9" square, and I'm pretty sure the sashing was 2 1/2".
Happy Sewing ooxx`jodi

I received a few coupons for Oikos Organic Yogurt a few weeks ago, and I've had a heck of a time finding them in my local grocery stores! When I finally found them at a D'Agostino's near me, I checked out the Strawberry flavor.
Each 4-ounce Oikos Organic Strawberry Greek Yogurt provides 90 calories, no fat, 12 grams of sugars, no fiber, 10 grams of protein, and 10% of the daily value for calcium.
The ingredients include cultured pasteurized organic nonfat milk, organic strawberries, organic sugar, pectin, organic natural flavor, organic elderberry juice concentrate (for color), and five live and active cultures.
I bought a 4-pack for $3.99 (on sale), and would definitely buy these again on sale. The amount of protein is perfect, and it's not too sweet. What's your favorite brand of Greek yogurt?

In addition to reviewing print and online media, Media Matters monitors at least 150 hours of television and radio each week. This section features highlights (or low-lights) from our monitoring efforts, other noteworthy clips as well as original videos.
Media outlets are falsely alleging that President Obama's plan for free community college will hurt the middle class because it makes changes to 529 college savings plans. In fact, those who use 529 plans tend to be wealthy, and the changes will help build a broader tax credit for college savings.

Colorblock Tulip Capri - BEBE SPORT
Fabric Quality
The fabric is too thin. It clings to the body and is thin enough that it bunches and shifts rather than hold it's shape. The older thicker material seemed to hold it's shape and help give you support and shape. If that's the marketing angle then the fabric needs to change. It also seems that since the fabric is so thin that it will not hold up for long.
February 20, 2013
Poor quality
This is not the usual quality that I expect from Bebe Sport, all of my workout clothes are from Bebe. The fabric is very thin, the very first time I put these on, both side seams unravelled and came completely undone in two places! Please go back to using high quality material and stop messing about with the cheap stuff.
February 8, 2013
Beautiful but not for working out hard
This set is beautiful, I just bought it. Problem is, if you sweat at all while working out, it will show on the gray fabric right away.
January 30, 2013
Upgrade in moisture-wicking but downgrade in the fit
I'm not thrilled about the new fabric which is now similar to what other sport brands offer. I was very fond of bebe sport because of the old fabric and design: it holds you in or gives nice compression without being too tight while making you look good, which is ideal for running. I understand this fabric dries faster but so did the old one so why the change when it was not needed? I also prefer large stripes on the sides rather than tiny ones like this capri. I hope you bring back the old fabric and some of your old designs!

Teachers came in groups of 20 throughout three days of training. Bradley County Schools technology coaches were also able to get in on the action Wednesday.
Waterville recently purchased iPads through funds from the Race to the Top Focus Grant that was awarded by the state. These funds also provided for the three days of training.
"We knew to get the most out of the iPads, we would need some major training," Title 1 teacher Lisa Gwaltney said.
Gwaltney coordinated the training and having Huggins come to Bradley County. Gwaltney said she hopes the two mobile labs of iPads purchased with the grant will give teachers access to new resources and give students more hands-on learning experiences.
Waterville technology coach Shelly Earls said the goal is to have a device for each classroom.
During the training, Huggins highlighted specific educational apps as well as podcasts, QR codes, iMovies, voice-over apps and websites with other educational resources. Apps highlighted ranged from those focusing on content, such as math or reading, to one that can help track student behavior in the classroom. One such app, Class Dojo, displays an avatar for each student which can be given rewards or have them taken away throughout the day. Connecting the iPad to a classroom's interactive display board allows students to see how their avatar is doing.
In addition to sharing about apps, Huggins highlighted how teachers could maximize one iPad in the classroom and have each student feel involved.
The new technology has also been beneficial for the Comprehensive Development Classes at Waterville.
"It's been great, because they are normally not going to be able to use a computer or cannot hold a mouse or control a mouse," Earls said. "With an iPad, it's opened a world to them that they hadn't been able to use before."
She said The Weather Channel app has also allowed teachers to show students how they are a part of a bigger world.
Before attending the training, Bradley County technology coaches met on Tuesday to discuss how schools are already implementing this new technology.
"I think the iPad brings us a device that does something that the other pieces of technology that we have do not," Michigan Avenue technology coach Lesha Crawley said. "We have an integrated microphone camera, making it very easy for even young children to create. We're excited about projects that might have taken weeks ... young children can do. Now [it's mostly just] drag and drop in a matter of minutes."
Crawley said the school system's move to the Common Core educational standards iPads will be helpful in teaching and completing digital publishing requirements. By third grade, students will be required, "with guidance and support from adults, to use technology to produce and publish writing, as well as to interact and collaborate with others." A similar standard, with increasing difficulty in higher grades, is required for each grade level.
The devices may also be useful when the state switches from the Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program to the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness of College and Careers test. The PARCC assessment will be required to be completed electronically. Crawley said details are still being worked out, but the iPad is an approved device for taking the test. Earls said certain apps will also prepare students for the new assessment by giving them a new platform in which to work math problems. "Educreation" is one popular app that gives students the ability to record what they create on a white screen.
Teachers have already used the technology in gym classes, to enhance math instruction, to record students reading aloud and provide practice for basic skills. Most recent iPad technology also gives teachers the control to lock a device on a certain app or control a student's screen via a wireless connection.
Many schools in Bradley County are adding iPad technology through grants. This year teachers at Michigan Avenue Elementary School and Prospect Elementary School received iPads from mini-grants awarded by the Bradley Cleveland Public Education Foundation. Each kindergarten class at Prospect now has a set of four iPads, according to Earls.
Not every school in Bradley County has iPads.
"It's something that is just in the beginning stages in Bradley County ... but we have some schools that are pioneering it," Crawley said.
Through a variety of grants Taylor Elementary will have enough iPads for students in fourth and fifth grades to use one. Taylor technology Coach Sharon Prohaska said the iPads have been delivered but use of the technology has not been fully implemented yet.
There are 550 iPads in use in Bradley County elementary schools.

1 Thess 5:9
9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ
Jesus is Coming Don't Miss It For the World!
No debating about denominational issues.
Acts 17:10-12
10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
Luke 21:25-28
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

I would like an alarm clock that isn't powered by electricity. I hate waking up to a beep or buzzer, I much prefer to wake to the radio. asked May 25 '11 at 09:11 jatoha |
I have completely given up on alarm clocks, and now use my cell phone exclusively. If your cell phone speaks radio it may allow that as an alarm - my Huawei U1250 does. I find the cell phone ideal, as the battery is charged because of daytime uses, and thus always has enough charge to get me up in the morning too. Also, I can move it around to aid in the process of not just waking, but also rising. linkanswered May 25 '11 at 11:01 willyyam |

Fokofpolisiekar – Antibiotika
Monday, June 29th, 2009Always having considered myself more of a Fokofpolisiekar admirer than a fan (and yes, there is a difference), I listened to their latest offering – Antibiotika – with nothing but respect for these guys. They may be known to be drunk on stage most of the time and they may also throw up on stage sometimes but one thing is certain: These guys are the legends that have single-handedly changed the SA music scene forever since their controversial start back in the day with their hard core stage performances and Afrikaans lyrics which says it as it is. Now, more than six years along the line, they are still SA's biggest rock act and their distinctive style has just gotten more legendary along the way.
Fokofpolisiekar has a tendency to say everything in a way everyone else is scared to – straightforward with honesty few can accomplish. With the lyrics of their songs they convey their perceptive on today's lifestyle and with no subtlety express their opnion on society.
Lyrics such as "Ek weet die dood gaan my vind" and "Ek word teen my begeertes beheer", they say what we, in this rat race of a society, are thinking everyday – except they are not afraid to say it to thousands. They stood up for what they believe in in a time when few did, and they still are today. Some might not believe their lifestyle or see their way of existence as an example for today's youth, but with their music they teach that you have to stand up for what you think is right, even if the whole world is against you. Individuality is key in this society we live in filled with sheep which are following the masses and going nowhere.
Fokofpolisiekar didn't follow the masses. They invented their own rules.
They still do.

African-American cast gives 'Waiting for Godot' a new look
Chicago — Although Vladimir and Estragon spend the entire play waiting for the future, Samuel Beckett's "Waiting for Godot" is haunted by the past — the "dead voices," as Estragon says at one point, that continue to "rustle" like leaves, refusing to be forgotten.
That past looks very different when seen through the eyes of an African-American cast, which is how "Godot" is currently being embodied under Ron OJ Parson's direction, in the latest excellent production from Chicago's Court Theatre. There is no theater I know — in Chicago or anywhere else — that more ingeniously challenges us to rethink familiar classic texts while also thinking hard about race in America. »Read Full Article

This three day itinerary includes visiting historic towns, sampling wines and visiting vineyards in Queensland's largest wine producing region - the Granite Belt and enjoying country scenery and natural attractions. Be sure to pack your camera. Highlights include heritage walking tours, rainforest walks, giant granite boulders, superb regional food and wine.
Duration | 3 Days | Itinerary Type | Land |
Distance | 519 Kilometres | Itinerary Route | One Way |
Mode of Travel | Car | Level of Difficulty |
Depart early from Brisbane, heading west towards Warwick. On the way, take a short detour through Ipswich.
Ipswich is the State's oldest provincial city. Discover the city's graceful colonial homes, superb old churches and historic sandstone buildings on a heritage walking tour, and check out the antique shops and craft cottages as you follow heritage trails through the surrounding country areas. Continuing on from Ipswich, stop in at Aratula on the Cunningham Highway, at the foot of Cunningham's Gap, the centre of the Main Range National Park and the site of a large stone cairn memorial to the early explorers. A good spot to stretch the legs before continuing over the range to Warwick. Stop on the way at the top of the range at Cunningham's Gap for a short rainforest walk. Head south to Stanthorpe nestled in the heart of The Granite Belt region which boasts more than 45 wineries. The high altitude and unique soil provide excellent growing conditions not only for grapes, but for stone fruit such as peaches, apricots and nectarines along with a variety of apples and berries. Spend the afternoon and evening exploring the cellar doors and taste what this town has to offer.
Just south of Stanthorpe, Girraween National Park is one of Queensland's most popular parks with spectacular granite rock formations, and wildflower displays during Spring. Adjacent to Girraween, is Bald Rock National Park which has the largest granite rock formation in the Southern Hemisphere, providing excellent views over the surrounding terrain,
On the way to Toowoomba, you will pass another little country charm, the town of Allora. You may well think you are taking a trip into history when driving down the main street, described by one travel writer as one of the three best streetscapes in Australia. The classic streetscape of Clifton and its buildings' facades have been used in a number of Australian movies including The Thornbirds. Just a short drive north of Clifton is Nobby and the well known Rudd's Pub which is dedicated to writer Steele Rudd, who lived in the area.
Toowoomba's history has been preserved in its buildings and the magnificently restored art deco Empire Theatre attracts regular performances. Admire the city's fine architecture, including City Hall and the National Trust Royal Bull's Head Inn. A visit to the Cobb & Co Museum is a must as it houses Australia's finest collection of horse-drawn vehicles.
Toowoomba really is Queensland's 'Garden City', with more than 150 public parks and gardens, spend the morning taking in the floral delight of the town. In spring the gardens are an extravaganza of colour, and the city celebrates with its Carnival of Flowers, held each year in the last full week of September. From mid-January to mid-February the city is again ablaze with Summer floral colour. From March to May vibrant tints of red and gold mark the Autumn Showing.
On your way back to Brisbane, be sure to stop off at Gatton. Known for its scenic backdrop of steep hills and mountains of The Great Dividing Range, Gatton is one of the fastest growing and most beautiful regions, encompassing some of the richest farming land in Australia. To appreciate this beautiful region, take a scenic drive through the Laidley Valley via Mulgowie Road, or Laidley Creek Road and gaze across the colourful landscape of the valley from the Shire's two lookouts. Back on the highway again, continue to Brisbane, arriving late afternoon.

text: 4 A good replacement for Sky +Posted: 21/10/2008After having a Sky + box for 4 years I've always been a big fan - it's simple to use and much more convenient...recently though I begun questioning the validity of forking out £18 a month when all I was doing was recording freeview channels. Hence I purchased this Humax and overall I'm very happy it. It's worth considering the following pros and cons though when purchasing one:Pros:- Excellent picture quality - a noticeable improvement on the Sky + machine particulary with football.- 160 Gb Hard Drive. Although pretty standard now you should never run out of space!Cons:- Noisy fan which is always on when you are watching/recording. You will need to have the telly on quite loud to drown it out. I just ignore it but it may bother some..- No Audio Output so you cannot connect directly to an Amp (you need to upgrade to the 9300). I've connected phone leads from the telly to the Amp which does the job - nb - you will need to have the volume on max for you to hear it via the Amp.- Tries to be to clever sometimes with some unnecessary functionality- High quality remote control but one or two essential buttons can only be found by pushing down the cover on the bottom half of the remote which is a bit stiff.

3B Series Overview |
3B Series Model Defintions |
Available 3B Series Modules |
3B Series Backplanes |
3B Series Power Supplies
3B Series Accessories | 3B Series Configuration Guide | 3B Series Custom Configuration Ranges | All Series Modules |
The 3B Series Signal Conditioning I/O Subsystem transfers analog signals from sensors and transducers to high-level data acquisition, monitoring and/or control systems. It is designed to interface directly to analog signals, such as the outputs of thermocouples, RTDs, AC and DC strain gages, torque transducers, frequency inputs, AC inputs, LVDTs, millivolt and voltage inputs, and process current signals. The 3B Series Subsystem converts these analog outputs to standardized analog inputs compatible with high-level analog I/0 subsystems.
This guide contains configuration and ordering information for the 3B Series products. The areas to be addressed when ordering are: system configuration, module ranges, and recommended accessories.
Configuring 3B Series Systems
For users designing their own backplane, the only configuring required is to select the 3B Series modules appropriate to the application.
For users of Analog Devices' designed backplanes, configuring modules is accomplished by selecting one or more of the following parts:
Accessories are also available to help you configure your 3B Series system.
The following subsections describe how to select the parts of a 3B Series system.
Selecting Modules
Configuring the subsystem involves choosing the types and number of 3B modules (for RTDs, thermocouples, etc.) that the application requires. Each 3B Series module is available in a variety of standard ranges indicated by the suffix attached to the module number (e.g., 3B32-02 is a current input module with an input range of 0-20mA). 3B users who require modules with special ranges can meet their needs in one of the following ways:
By field-ranging the module using the AC1310 plug-on ranging card. By ordering a 3B module with the -00 suffix (externally programmable) and an AC1310, user-supplied resistors determine the zero and span range of modules. (Selection of resistors is described in the 3B Series User's Manual or the 3B-CUSTOM Program software)
By ordering modules with special ranges that are pre-configured by Analog Devices. To order a pre-configured module, indicate the desired module type with a suffix of "-CUSTOM" as well as the desired range (e.g., 3B34-CUSTOM, Range: +500°C to +600°C or 3B37-CUSTOM, Type K, 0 to +1000°C). Refer to the following examples for assistance in selecting and ordering "-Custom" 3B models. There is an additional charge for custom ranging.
By building their own 3B modules with custom functions using the AC1350 or AC1351 empty module cases.
For more information on a particular 3B Series Module, choose the module from the Available 3B Series Modules.
Selecting a Backplane
Analog Devices provides three backplanes: a 4-channel, an 8-channel, and a 16-channel version. Each channel of the backplane contains a CJC temperature sensor for thermocouple modules. 3B Series input and output modules can be located in any socket on the backplane. Screw terminal blocks are provided for easy power connections and field wiring. To interface to host systems and other backplanes, 3B Series backplanes provide two 26-pin connectors. Additionally, each 3B Series backplane can be mounted in a 19-inch rack or panel or NEMA enclosure with optional kits.
Select the type and number of backplanes according to the total number of input and output modules used in your application. Table 1 summarizes the ordering information for the 3B Series backplanes. For more information on the 3B Series Backplanes, go to the backplanes section.
Model | Description |
3B03 | 4-Channel Backplane |
3B02 | 8-Channel Backplane |
3B01 | 16-Channel Backplane |
Table 1. 3B Series Backplanes
Selecting a Power Supply and Power Cord
The 3B Series modules are powered by either an AC/DC power supply or a DC/DC (+24 V DC input) converter. The supply is mounted on the backplane using a supplied mounting bracket. External ±15 V DC and +24 V DC supplies can also be used to power both the modules and the current outputs. A required optional AC power cord is offered: AC1340-D. This cable plugs into the AC power line and connects to on-board power screw terminals. The AC1341, a DC power cable, is also available.
The power supply voltages are bussed to all signal conditioners in the system. Several power supplies are available to satisfy various current requirements. Each power supply operates over a -25°C to a +70°C temperature range. Table 2 summarizes the ordering information for the 3B Series power supplies. For more information on the 3B Series Power Supplies, go to the power supplies section.
Model | Type | Input | Output |
AC1300 | AC/DC (With Mounting Bracket) |
115 V rms, 60 Hz | ±15 V DC @ ±200 mA |
AC1301 | AC/DC (With Mounting Bracket) |
115 V rms, 60 Hz | ±15 V DC @ ±350 mA |
AC1302(Obsolete) | DC/DC | +24 V DC | ±15 V DC @ ±190 mA |
AC1307 | AC/DC | 115 V rms, 60 Hz | +15 V DC -15 V DC +24 V DC |
Table 2. 3B Series Power Supplies
Selecting an Interface Cable and Connectors
The requirements for cables and connectors are determined by the specific user application. The following serves as a guideline only.
From your 3B backplane to your system(s) or adapter board(s), you can use a maximum of two cables. The AC1315 can be used with a 3B Series subsystem and an adapter board such as Model AC1324. Additional cable(s) are needed to connect the selected adapter board(s) to your system(s).
Several cables are available to interface to the Analog Devices family of RTI boards.
If you plan to use +24 V DC power, order the AC1352 for cable connection.
For more information on Interface Cables and Connectors, go to the Interface Cable and Connectors sections on the Accessories page.
Selecting Rack Mount and Surface-Mount Kits
Depending on available mounting space, both 19-inch rack mount kits and surface mount kits are available to mount the 3B Series backplanes. Table 3 summarizes the ordering information for the 3B Series Rack Mount and Surface Mount Kits. For more information on Rack Mount and Surface-Mount Kits, go to the Mounting Kits section on the Accessories Page.
Model | Type | Description |
AC1330 | 19-inch Rack Mount Kit | Mounts either the 16-channel 3B01, 8-channel 3B02 or 4-channel 3B03 backplanes in a 19-inch rack |
AC1331 | Surface-Mount Kit | Mounts the 16-channel 3B01 backplane in a panel or NEMA enclosure |
AC1332 | Surface-Mount Kit | Mounts the 8-channel 3B02 backplane in a panel or NEMA enclosure |
AC1333 | Surface-Mount Kit | Mounts the 4-channel 3B03 backplane in a panel or NEMA enclosure |
Table 3. 3B Series Rack Mount and Surface-Mount Kits
