DPA Microphones Keeps Brothers Comatoseâs Sound Thumping on Tour
Mandolin player for the bluegrass-inspired band calls on the DPA d:vote⢠4099 Instrument Microphone for all performances
SAN FRANCISCO, AUGUST 29, 2013 â Despite the groupâs name, the bluegrass-influenced Brothers Comatose is far from a state of unconsciousness. Currently touring the nation at several summer music festivals, the bandâs mandolin player, Ryan Avellone, relies on DPA Microphonesâ d:vote⢠4099 Instrument Microphone to give his instrument a clear and natural sound.
Avellone discovered DPA Microphones during his search for an alternative amplification method to the traditional acoustic pickups. He wanted something that provided quality sound, was durable and still discreet enough not to interfere with the physical beauty of the instrument. The DPA d:vote fit that bill. Despite its small size, the d:vote amplifies the natural sound of an instrument, adhering to DPAâs strict reputation for high-quality audio.
âMost pickups produce a similar sound that doesnât sound like the instruments, so I just donât like them,â says Avellone. âI was searching for a while, and finally found the DPA d:vote. I decided to try it and I love it. Itâs amazing for a live performance and is really good at recreating the sound of my mandolin for both myself and the audience. We play at venues and get loud, and I still have the microphone coming into the monitor. I pretty much never have feedback issues. The d:vote topped all of my expectations.â
A highly durable microphone that can be used across many musical applications, the d:vote is a unique, lightweight and versatile microphone that has mounting options for almost all instruments. It can easily be unclipped and repositioned without marring the finish of the instrument. Built with the touring musician in mind, the d:vote has a modular design that allows the user to swap out or upgrade individual pieces, such as the cable, which is also available as a heavy duty option.
âThe microphone is great, itâs really durable,â says Avellone. âAll of the cables and accessories are really well designed and can withstand anything. Iâve played probably over one hundred gigs with it all over the country and it has never let me down.â
Avellone wants to see more acoustic musicians using the d:vote to highlight the natural sound of their instruments, starting with his band mates. âI just know that once they try the d:vote itâs going to be their solution, too,â he adds. âI go to a lot of shows and have watched a lot of bands. They are good bands with good music, but their instruments just donât sound ideal. They have nice instruments, like a $3,000 guitar, with cheap $50 pickups on them. That just doesnât make sense to me. Thatâs whatâs cool about the d:vote; when you put it on the instrument, it sounds like the instrument.â
Hailing from San Francisco, Brothers Comatose was formed by brothers Alex Morrison (banjo and vocals) and Ben Morrison (guitar and vocals). The duo got their start performing for friends and family at their home, alongside other local musicians. It was there that they met bassist Gio Benedetti. Avellone later joined the pair, along with fiddle player Philip Brezins. No matter where they are performing, an occasional fan on chopsticks can also be found on stage, as the band often invites audience members to participate. The band is currently on tour performing songs from their latest album Respect the Van (2012), a tribute to the Chevy G20 that takes them across the country to music festivals such as Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, Kate Wolf and SXSW.
DPA Microphones is the leading Danish Professional Audio manufacturer of high-quality condenser microphone solutions for professional applications. DPAâs ultimate goal is to always provide its customers with the absolute finest possible microphone solutions for all its markets, which include live sound, installation, recording, theatre and broadcast. When it comes to the design process, DPA takes no shortcuts. Nor does the company compromise on its manufacturing process, which is done at the DPA factory in Denmark.

HHS selects winners of heart health apps challenge
The winners of a search for innovative technology applications to help solve tough health IT problems were announced March 25 in Chicago by the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, Farzad Mostashari, M.D., Sc.M. The Investing in Innovation (i2) program's "One in a Million Hearts Challenge" uses prizes and challenges to foster innovative health IT solutions that empower patients to pursue healthy lifestyles and improve their heart health.
Aligned with the Obama administration's innovation agenda, it is the first federal program to operate under the authority of the America COMPETES Reauthorization Act. The i2 competition received funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The awards were made at the American College of Cardiology Scientific Conference in Chicago.
"The One in a Million Hearts Challenge not only spreads awareness of a critical issue, it was one of the first to involve preventive care," said Wil Yu, special assistant for innovations with the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology. "While we seek to improve treatment as a part of reducing the number of deaths from heart attacks and strokes, it is just as important that we create an educated patient population capable of engaging in its own health, leveraging the power of health IT, making more informed decisions and choosing healthier lifestyles."
The winning team will be awarded $50,000 for THUMPr, a web-based application whose simple, immersive interface enables users to easily create personal heart health profiles. THUMPr was submitted by Jared Schwartz, Luke Peterson, and Anthony Veach. THUMPr generates unique recommendations based on the Million Hearts ABCS framework (Aspirin, Blood pressure, Cholesterol, Smoking cessation) and are paired with actionable steps for the user. The application features multilingual support and was developed using the Drupal framework and data sets from the American Heart Association, Mayo Clinic, Google Maps Database, and Facebook Connect Application Programming Interfaces.
The second place team will be awarded $20,000 for mHealthCoach, which incorporates 11 unique data feeds, supports social media integration, peer communities, and fitness groups. Submitted by Aamer Ghaffar, the application is built on top of the mHealthCoach Health Guide Wellness platform, the winning submission in the Health 2.0 Walgreens Health Guide Challenge. mHealthCoach teaches users about cardiovascular health by visually representing positive activities such as exercise, low fat intake and low sodium diets and negative activities such as the intake of fatty foods. The application also provides reminders about physical activity and appointments and allows individuals to track their weight, diet, cholesterol and smoking habits.
The third place team will be awarded $5,000. Wellframe focuses on patient engagement, evidence-based information and resources, targeted and actionable information and ease of usability. The application was submitted by Trishan Panch, Archit Bhise, Vinnie Ramesh, and Jacob Sattelmair. The application provides a heart disease risk assessment, social comparisons, preventive care alerts and educational resources. Individuals can share information with their doctors electronically, using Direct, and by simple e-mail and print of personalized reports.

I always wondered if hurricane rains carry sea salt at all. |
Follow-Up Postings:

Dottie, rain from the sky, no. Sea surge from the ocean, and sometimes from rivers where the salt water is blown up into them, yes. But you would have to get sea water from the ocean or mabey a river, if you lived close to the ocean, in order to get salt in your garden. Hope you are alright and your garden isn't damaged by the storm. |
- Posted by butterfly4u 8 (My Page) on Sat, Aug 27, 11 at 23:09
Dotie, I found this to explain better When we talk about moisture being drawn from the ocean into the hurricane we are refering to water vapor. When salt water evaporates or becomes water vapor the salt is left behind and the water vapor is pur water. It is this form of water that then condenses and becomes raindrops within or associated with hurricanes. Near the coast there is salt spray and at sea the hurricane causes large waves which send salty water up into the sky. Some of this salt water evaporates and the tiny salt particles that are left either float back down to earth or are carried up into the clouds of the hurricane. These salt particles become condensation nuclei that help water droplets to form. These water droplets will have a higher salt content than most raindrops. However, once the hurricane moves inland all of the rain that comes from the dying hurricane comes from pure water vapor. |

Whew..great answer butterfly4u, thank you. We are too far from the coast for any impact but wondered if our GW regs from the East NC areas are OK. |

Jane Lynch is now officially free ... but her divorce sure wasn't ... she's paying her former wife millions.
Jane's divorce from Dr. Lara Embry became final Monday. In the property settlement -- obtained by TMZ -- it's apparent gay divorces are just like all the others ... the breadwinner has to give up half.
Lara -- a psychologist -- gets a lump sum of $1.2 million, spaced over over a 2-year period.
But Lara gets a lot more, including:
-- half of several bank and trust accounts, totaling $847,485
-- half of a 401K, totaling $315,079
-- half of the proceeds from their Mulholland Tennis Club membership
-- half of all royalties from Jane's TV appearances, including "Glee"
-- half of their $56,810 tax refund
Lara also gets their L.A. Yacht club membership.
But wait, there's more. Lara gets Francis the dog.
Marriage, worth fighting for ... sometimes.
Jane Lynch
If You Want Marriage Tips ...
I Got Nuthin'!
When it comes to Jane Lynch and marriage ... she wants you to know the doctor is NOT in -- and yes, you can take that a couple of different ways.
We caught up with Jane outside her usual spot ... Kings Road Cafe, where she was chilling with Matt Sorum -- the Velvet Revolver drummer and soon-to-be groom -- and we've never seen her laugh this hard.
Jane absolutely busted up when we asked if she was giving Matt tips on achieving marital bliss. Her response is hysterical ... and maybe a little sad.
TMZ broke the story ... the "Glee" star is divorcing her wife, Dr. Lara Embry -- though she seems totally chill with the sitch in this clip.
Jane Lynch
'I Kinda Like Being Single'
It's clear marriage wasn't right for Jane Lynch -- at least not now -- 'cause the "Glee" star tells TMZ she's really diggin' the single life at the moment.
The always friendly Lynch was out in Bev Hills the other day when we asked her if she's ready to meet some new ladies, now that a couple of months have passed since she and wife Lara Embry split up.
But Lynch says she's not sure she wants to jump back into a relationship -- telling us, "I kinda like being single."
Makes sense, considering Lynch's divorce recently turned nasty -- with Embry trying to nail Jane to the wall with more than $93k per month in spousal support.
With those kinda problems, single life kinda makes sense ... right?
Jane Lynch
I Still Believe in Gay Marriage
Jane Lynch scoffs at the notion that gay people have hastily jumped into marriage ... this in the wake of what has become a contentious divorce between her and wife Lara Embry.
TMZ broke the story ... Embry is now trying to nail Jane to the wall with spousal support ... she wants more than $93k a month.
Embry says she wants Jane to support her in the lifestyle to which she has become accustomed during their 3 years of marriage. Shockingly, Jane isn't blanching at that.
Check out the video.

Jane Lynch and Dr. Lara Embry's "amicable" divorce just turned "unfriendly" ... because Embry is making a full-court press for Jane's bank accounts -- to the tune of $93,809 a month in spousal support!
In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Embry says for the last 3 years, Jane's average monthly income has been $234,688. Embry also says when she married Lynch, Jane told her she had $400,000 in her savings and 401K combined, and owned her home.
Embry says of her "Glee" wife, "Her income, investments and assets increased dramatically with her newfound acting success."
Embry -- who says she wants Jane to support her in the lifestyle to which she gladly became accustomed -- says during their marriage Jane paid for everything, including lavish vacations.
Embry says she and Jane typically racked up $40k a month on their credit cards.
According to Embry's docs, she currently earns pennies, but still spends in the neighborhood of $40,900 per month -- including an average of $6,500 on clothes, $12,000 on entertainment/gifts/vacation, and $4,500 on eating out (hehe).
Sources tell us ... Jane is already providing Embry with support. In fact, Embry and her daughter are living in the house Jane bought and Jane temporarily moved elsewhere. But the house is a big sticking point. Embry says they sunk $3 mil into the house for renovations and from the docs it seems she either wants the house or a 50% cut.
Sources tell us the couple did not have a prenup, which means assets acquired during the marriage will probably be split 50/50.
Jane filed to end her three-year marriage to Lara in July, citing "irreconcilable differences." The two first met in 2009 at a fundraiser in San Francisco. They were married a year later in Massachusetts.
Jane said recently the financial negotiations have been friendly, adding, "It's just money." Right.
Jane Lynch
Doggin' It
With Estranged Wife Look-alike
Jane Lynch and her estranged wife Lara Embry are BACK TOGETHER -- just kidding ... it's just one of Jane's close friends ... who happens to look exactly like Lara.
Jane hit the streets of West Hollywood Monday with their dogs -- and everyone on the planet thought Jane and Lara were patching things up, but it's just not so.
The other woman in the photo is actually Jane's longtime friend Laura Coyle ... but, yeah ... she does look A LOT like Lara.
As we reported, Jane revealed last month that she and her estranged wife were calling off their 3-year marriage.
Jane Lynch
Files for Divorce
Jane Lynch is a woman of her word ... a month after announcing her marriage to wife Lara Embry was over, the actress has filed for divorce.
Jane just filed the docs in L.A. County Court, citing "irreconcilable differences." The 52-year-old "Glee" star met 44-year-old Embry back in 2009 at a fundraiser in San Francisco. They were married a year later in Massachusetts and registered for a domestic partnership in California soon after.
According to the doc, Jane and Lara have been separated since February. There are no minor children.
In the doc, Jane says she wants to terminate the court's jurisdiction to award Lara spousal support.
Sources connected to the couple have told TMZ they do NOT have a prenup, which means they can expect a 50/50 split of all marital assets ... but that will all be determined later.
Jane Lynch
A House Divided
Cannot Stand
Jane Lynch's 3-year marriage is coming to an end ... and a contributing factor may well have been a major remodel.
Lynch and her wife, Dr. Lara Embry, were in the middle of top-to-bottom renovation of their Hollywood Hills home when the marriage fell apart.
So you scoff at the notion a remodel could torpedo a relationship? Well in your face, because the L.A. Times even ran a story explaining that the stress caused by remodeling ranks somewhere between infidelity and meddling mother-in-laws.
You may also recall ... the marriage of WWE champ John Cena also imploded during a major remodel.
Short story -- a new bathroom or a new wife? Your choice.
Jane Lynch
My Gay Marriage Is Over
Jane Lynch is pulling the plug on her marriage to wife Dr. Lara Embry ... just 3 years after tying the knot in Massachusetts, where gay marriage is legal.
Lynch just released a statement to People.com saying, "Lara and I have decided to end our marriage. This has been a difficult decision for us as we care very deeply about one another."
The 52-year-old "Glee" star met 44-year-old Embry back in 2009 at a fundraiser in San Francisco ... and they married in 2010.
Lynch and Embry are California residents and a California court will almost certainly dissolve the marriage, even though gay marriages are not legal in California. The State recognizes marriages from places where gay marriage is legal.
Now ... California is a community property state, which means unless there's a prenup, Lynch and Embry would split all assets acquired during the marriage 50/50. Although Embry's no slouch, Lynch has made a bundle on "Glee" and other projects.
Sources connected with the former couple tell TMZ ... they don't have a prenup.

Hi All, I just started pressure canning and I'm loving it. But now I have a ton of questions. I'll start with the first one. Why can't I can pasta with meat sauce? Chef Boyadree does it. Chunky Soup has noodles. What makes how they do things different then when we do it? How about soups with rice? My husband works in the woods and I would like to can as many of his meals as possible. I know he'll be to tired after 14-16 hour days to start cooking noodles, rice etc. Thoughts? Thanks, Diane |
Follow-Up Postings:
There are 2 safety issues with home pressure canned foods - pH and density. The problem with noodles, pasta, rice, etc. is they are thickeners, they change (increase) the density of the food in the jars. Increased density requires higher pressures, greater temperatures and increased processing times. How much time and pressure increase is unknown but the implication is that it would be so much that the end product would be inedible or at least undesirable. Commercial canning equipment is very different from the good old home pressure canner. They run at much higher pressures and temps than we can achieve at home. In some cases as much as 50-100 degrees higher. Plus the commercially canned foods are often irradiated first and have additives and stabilizers added to maintain the pH of the food during shelf storage. We don't add those items when home canning nor have irradiation equipment. Home pressure canning will never be able to duplicate commercial canning so we have to live with some restrictions they don't have. Using such thickeners is one of them. So when possible we learn ways to work around them. For example, you can make up small bags of pre-cooked rice or noodles and freeze them and include them with the canned food to be added at preparation time. That way you have the safety and the convenience. Another alternative is to make the chicken noodle/rice soup and freeze it rather than canning it. Hope this helps. Dave |

Dave has given you good advice about the safety aspects of canning, also think about what 90 minutes (time for a quart jar of meat based product) of processing would do to noodles or rice. If frozen additions are not an option, how about dehydrated? My family spends 5-6 wks definitely OFF the grid each summer (West Chilcotin, BC) and I have discovered that dehydrating is a great way to go (besides canning my own meat down here). Rice and noodles can be cooked and then dried-homemade minute rice. I would suggest that you look at Bernardin's website or the National Center for Home Food Preservation here in the States for canning recipes. Also, check your altitude, could make a difference in processing times for pressure canning. |
Here is a link that might be useful: NCHFP
Thank you Dave for your quick reply. That makes total sense. :D I guess this is a good thing. My husband will be cutting waaaaay down on his starch since he doesn't cook. lol Been pressure canning for the past 4 days straight and am very pleased with what I've produced. And we've been testing it to make sure it's edible. Cheers, Diane |
There's no reason why your husband couldn't throw some minute rice or thin pasta into the soup and let it cook as the soup warms up. |

Leeds / United Kingdom
Mixed use
Client: Downing for Leeds Metropolitan University
Overall development costs: approx £50 million
Completion: September 2009
Gross internal floor area: Block A 5713m2, Block B 5724m2, Block C 6486m2
Total internal area = 17,723m2
Site Size: 0.93 HA
Broadcasting Place is a mixed use development close to Leeds city centre UK. Conceived as a public/private partnership for property group Downing and Leeds Metropolitan University, it provides approximately 110,000 ftm2 of new offices and teaching spaces together with 240 student residences in a landmark building rising to 23 storeys. A new Baptist Church completes the scheme on its northern edge.
Broadcasting Place is a bold addition to the Leeds cityscape, forming a prominent marker at one of Leeds gateways. This new academic complex for Leeds Metropolitan University overcame difficult site challenges with a masterplan which manages an inner city motorway passing alongside whilst also enabling future growth. The site itself encompasses a rich history as the location of Old Broadcasting House, the old BBC TV Studios, and the place where the first moving picture was developed in the late 19th century.
The masterplan worked within the framework of the Renaissance Leeds documents produced by the Civic Architect John Thorp and Koetter Kim Associates of Boston. This defined a city rim where physical and social connectivity were paramount in reintegrating the city centre with its inner city surroundings. The building concept attempts a fusion between the geological, the sculptural and the cinematic to create a building that is firmly rooted in its city context. This design intent is reinforced by the selection of cor-ten steel as a solid, sculptural and weathering material, constructed as a rain-screen facade. The building creates two rising forms that snake around the perimeter of the site, responding to existing building heights, culminating in a tower head at the south side of the site. This tower marks the south end of the site with a dramatic formed gable end that faces towards the city.
A key element in the design of the buildings is the irregular elevations which have been tailored to optimise daylight and reduce solar penetration. The proportions of the glazed façade have been derived using our own software. The team on Broadcasting Place undertook an innovative analysis of the building facades, to calculate the optimum quantity and distribution of glazing/shading at all points on the façade in order to ensure high levels of natural daylighting but without overheating. The research study was published in 2008 in Spacecraft by David Littlefield, published by RIBA Enterprises and in the Architects Journal.
Our environmental approach combined:
- Façade design to optimize cooling load and energy use through a rigorous research project involving 3D computer simulation of all facades
- Plan forms which optimize natural daylight
- Natural ventilation where practicable in location bounded by motorway
- Ground source heat pump exceeding target figure
- A car-free development with bike parking provision
- Adaptability to ensure a long lifespan
Overall the scheme has been awarded a BREEAM Very Good rating.

These are so pretty! I saw these on Clearence at Target for $9.98, and I had a $5.00 gift cared and a $3.00 coupon. As soon as I got home I swatched them, and they are luscious. Deep jewel tones, and a few neutrals. there are a dozen decent sized pans, and the colors are luminous. Very nicely pigmented. i couldn't wait to try, so I took my eye makeup off and started over. If you can get these, grab them. If I see another palette I will buy more to give as gifts. I don't have much Sonia Kashuk makeup (I do have a gold/bronze duo i love) but this might get me to try more. So happy with this purchase. I usually do nudes and neutrals, but this will be fun to have for Winter and the Holiday's
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this palette so much! My boyfriend got it for me as an anniversary gift after I saw it online and I was super impressed when I saw it in person. I expected a normal sized smallish palette and got a big surprise when i saw this! This thing is massive. It really is worth the $20 he spent on it. The packaging is very sleek and makes me think high end. The shadow is great quality, it has a ton in it and a little goes a LONG way. It's very pigmented even without a primer. There are 12 beautiful, shimmery shadows in both jewel tones and neutrals. This has a great color selection and an endless number of looks can be made. I absolutely love this palette and I think it's just as good of quality as Urban Decay, for a way better price.
5 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I just picked this up at Target after seeing some pictures online. I was ready to be disappointed, as I thought there was no way I'd get a full palette of quality shadows for $16.99. Color me impressed! These are extremely soft and pigmented, and most definitely on par with Urban Decay. Except you get 12 eyeshadows for less than the price of one! There are 12 shadows, with 4 distinct color families. You could do four cohesive looks, or many, many interesting combinations. I have and love the SK matte palette, and I have to admit it's a tiny bit chalky, but I overlook that fact because it's an amazing collection of matte neutrals. This palette is an entirely different formula! If you've been put off by SK eyeshadows before, definitely give this one a try. They've done some tinkering, and these are fantastic!

Health Care
Québec residents benefit from insured healthcare services and products under the Health Insurance Plan, as well as prescription drugs if they have registered for the Basic Prescription Drug Insurance Plan.
Health Card – Carte Soleil
To get your health card or for more information about the Québec Health Plan, contact the Québec health insurance Board (RAMQ – Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec) at 418-646-4636 (press 2 for English) or go to www.ramq.gouv.qc.ca/index_en.shtml.
- To qualify for a health card, you must be a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident who lives in this province for 183 days of the year. You cannot get a card if you are a visitor, tourist, or student from another province.
- If you have just moved here from another province or country, you should apply for your card right away. You will not immediately qualify for Québec health insurance; however, you will be eligible for coverage after a three-month waiting period. Until then, your previous province will cover your medical services. You may have to pay for services up front then request to be reimbursed by your former province. If you are from another country, it is highly recommended that you have private health insurance coverage during the waiting period, as you will not be reimbursed by the Régie for any expenses incurred.
Prescription Drug Plan
Everyone must be covered by prescription drug insurance. Two types of insurance plans offer this coverage: private plans (group insurance or employee benefit plans) and the public plan, (administered by the Régie de l'assurance-maladie du Québec). If you have access to a private plan, you must choose that plan. Otherwise, membership in the public plan is required.
In order to receive services covered by the Health Insurance Plan and Public Prescription Drug Insurance Plan, you must present your valid health care card. Failure to present your valid card may result in you having to pay for the services you receive and then apply to the RAMQ for a reimbursement. There is a special form available for this purpose.
Service in English
Québec has an access program which entitles "English-speaking persons to receive health and social services in the English language…". This means that some institutions have been specially chosen to provide services in English. NOT all of these places can, nor are they obligated to give services in English at ALL times. It depends on time and type of services you need; but, if you ask for service in English, you can expect that an effort will be made to refer you to a staff person who is able to help you well enough in English.
For further information about health and social services in English, you can call Jeffery Hale's Community Services in English at 418-684-JEFF (5333) or visit their website at www.jefferyhale.org/en. For more information about the Ministry of Health and Social Services visit www.msss.gouv.qc.ca/en.
811 – Info-Santé
Info-Santé is a telephone information and advice service that has nurses responding to health and well-being concerns 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A Simple 3-digit number (811) is used for the entire province of Québec.
911 – Emergency Services
911 will connect you with emergency services. You may have to ask for English services because there is no dial option to choose French or English.

Tags: Curriculum, business, content, exam, functional, skills, workplace
Hi Sam,
yeah I see where you are coming from. It would take a massive commitment from the Government and exam boards to re-design each subjects syllabus to embed functional skills into what is already being delivered, but I believe it is possible. For example, functionality is not a subject it is a process and all about applying your learning to everyday life. One idea might be with A level music for example, rather than paper based exams where you look at an anthology of music and then answer questions, why not have the scores as pdf files on computer and students following the score by listening to ipods rather than off a cd player and then answering the questions online. This would allow each student to go at their own pace, would also benefit visually impaired students, they could alter the colour of the screen or have software that speaks to them. In today's age this is much more user friendly for the students. Downloading music could also be included in the exam such as they need to download the piece that they need to listen to etc. This is only an example and there are far reaching implications, but hopefully you can see from this how it could be done in other subjects. How do you see it working in sport?
Regarding your comments about Ken Robinson. I think that yes we should be learning in a way that incorporates everyday life, current trends and development and preparing young people for their place in society and the job market (obviously we still need to include the core subjects). It would make more sense to use the current environment to build their learning rather than ignoring it and trying to use irrelevant techniques. So yes I tend to agree with Ken Robinson and not have specific subjects. However, this can't be changed overnight and I think putting functional skills into each subject is a step in the right direction. Would you agree?
Hi Sam,
providing the Government and exam boards take the time to re-write the syllabi and they make sure that there is an equal weighting between specific subject knowledge and functional skills, I don't see this as being a problem for the teacher.
Yes, I remember having 'Key Skills' sessions and dreading them as I knew they were going to be boring and I probably set myself up to be disengaged from the start. Minimum core is embedded into the course I teach on my placement and it does seem to work. The students also have a collaboration module where they have to work with an outside individual or agency to complete a piece of work. I attended the university and course that is now my placement for my PGCE, and the collaboration module really stuck out to me as being relevant and I was determined to give it my all. It did indeed help me in becoming an artist after the course was complete. This is true of sandwich degree courses, that have a year in the middle of the course to work on placement to gain the relevant experience needed to enter that profession.
That Industry year sounds like a good idea Hannah. Do you think it could be possible for all degree courses to have an element of work experience. They probably all couldn't be a year because of cost, but maybe one module on industry experience or maybe a week every month allocated to actual work in the chosen industry?
Hi Alex,
I totally agree with your comment about having separate functional skills lessons will in fact disengage the student. I believe it is much more important to get them working functionally across the whole curriculum in order to move forward. Do you have any ideas as to how this could be done?
Thanks Alex the points you have made are very useful :-)
I'm a trainee art teacher, and based on my education and experiences so far within my placement area, one very simple step forward would be in how the teacher delivers the session and explains how these skills are transferable in the workplace. It is not going to solve the issue, but it may clarify these questions to learners. For example, one of the groups I work with on my placement were taught how to make a negative space drawing and one way to enlarge a drawing, but there was no indication of how these skills would be used in the workplace and why they are relevant. Students enjoyed the session because the tutor made it fun, however they became disruptive because it seemed to have no purpose or importance to them. On the other hand the emphasis cannot be put upon teachers to make this change, and I agree with your statement regarding the modification of exams.
The amount of experience required for a post is one of the issues graduates face upon completing their courses and seeking employment. After a minimum of three years completing a degree, graduates are still not equipped to enter into their chosen career path. Could this frustrating situation be changed with more appropriate content and assessment in the lifelong learning sector?
Hi Hannah,
exactly my thinking! Maybe as part of a teaching qualification teachers could be taught how to show the relevance of what they are teaching to the students. Obviously existing teachers would need to go on courses to gain this knowledge. Perhaps part of their cpd? (Continuing professional development) Also as you suggest maybe in the lifelong learning sector and at university functionality should be inbuilt into these courses. As Ken Robinson stated in the 'changing education paradigms' video you aren't guaranteed a job in your chosen career at the end of your degree.
Hi Aimee
I am based in graphic design where functional skills play a huge role. As a graphic designer you will constantly liaise with clients, and eventually pitch ideas and concepts to them. In order to do this effectively you must have clear communication skills, because it is your job to convince the client that your idea is better than rival companies who are also pitching ideas. Communication skills are often assessed in job interviews as your prospective employers want to establish whether or not you will fit into the work place and team. You could be the greatest designer the world has ever seen, but if you cannot interact with clients and colleagues you will not be a successful designer.
ICT skills also play a huge part in the graphic design industry, because not only are clients paying for your creativity but also your up to date knowledge of computer programmes.
Finally basic numeracy skills are vital as designers will need to set the sizes for various print documents, here the measurements need to be exact to avoid any print problems. As you can imagine if a company is wanting ten thousand booklets printed and the size of the document is not set up correctly then that's going to waste a lot of money.
By ensuring that students have a basic understanding of these areas aswell as a good sense of design you can be confident they will succeed in industry.
Jo :)
Thanks Jo. Some very interesting points here that promote inclusion of functional skills which I think can be transferred across all subjects :-)

Frankly, if all you want is stronger amplification, you might want to check out the amplifiers sold at Parts Express. I have no affiliation with them; they're just a reliable soure of inexpensive amps. Radio Shack might be another source, though there will be fewer choices and you may have to go on-line rather than find it in stock at the store. If you want to replace in kind, however, you might cruise craigslist for a used receiver. There are new stereo receivers out there, but you'll spend at least $100 for features you've stated you don't use. |

Denon, Harmon Kardon, Yamaha and Marantz all make good home theater receivers. Can you describe your needs in a little more detail? |
why not look at one of Bose's black box solutions for the acoustimass speakers? |
How much do you want to spend? |

Because every family deserves the blessing of a child with Down Syndrome... |
Beautiful 8 year old Ebba desperately needs a family that is willing to take on the challenges of her burns and give her a new life. People who have met her says she is the sweetest thing. Ebba fell into the fire at her home after trying to cook; she fell into the fire when she fainted due to being so hungry. Her mother could not live with what happened to Ebba and took her own life, leaving Ebba an orphan. Could you be her family or know someone that might be?
From a family who spent several weeks with her in Dec 2014/Jan 2015:
She is the sweetest and so loving and so gentle and so friendly and so precious and so smiley. I could go on FOR DAYS. She does have a thumb on one hand and can hold things and eat using it.
From a family with her in Jan 2015:
She uses that thumb like pinchers (for lack of a better word). I watched her open and eat a roll of smarties. She opened the smarties with the pincher hand then rested it in the elbow of the other arm and picked them one by one. She walks around holding our big kid's arms and tickling them. She also loves stickers! She's a very sweet and happy girl!
Jill is a 10 year old girl; she has severe hearing deficits and is developmentally more like a 6 year old.

So… made a new character for my group today, the medic. Good character creation session - good player.
So. She's an old doctor, remembers the last year or so of the clone wars, she's been a doctor for the empire - now living in the outer rim doing good by doing bad so to speak. Betrayed by the empire and takes her doctors' oath to help sentients a bit too far sometimes.
Now, this might not be a question that comes up very often, but this character is old - not like REAL old, but old. She's also pretty frail. Basically, this human character should have a brawn of 1, to fully implement the frailty in game mechanic terms, rather than just a roleplaying gig.
At the moment we haven't lowered it, because I'm slightly at loss. Should I just giver her an extra 20 xp? 10? How would you compensate a player/character for deliberately wanting and desiring a lower stat in this way? It wasn't my wish or idea, and as of now I haven't allowed it - mainly due to not knowing how to treat such a decrease in characteristics.
20XP is what it costs to increase from 1 to 2, but since this is a voluntary decrease I was thinking that maybe 10XP would suffice, so not to encourage this sort of min-maxing… although I'm not certain any sort of compensation should be given.
If this is treated in the book - please direct me to page, I haven't found anything.

After two short weeks of nerve-racking discernment, I gave up and decided I wanted to "have fun," and thought to myself, "I don't need to be a priest. I can do something else." I then lived the stereotypical college life. In my fourth and final year in college, I realized that I had to make a decision before graduation. My options were to pursue a teaching degree or enter the seminary. At the time, I felt very distant from God, yet I never forgot that feeling I received in my dorm while praying.
It was "crunch time." Understanding that God has a plan for everyone, I knew who to ask for guidance. I started receiving the sacrament of reconciliation on a weekly basis, attending daily Mass as often as possible, and committing one hour a week at St. Gregory's Eucharistic adoration chapel. I was begging God to give me an answer as to what I should do with my life. I asked God to make His answer as obvious as a slap in the face.
God is good. After attempting to reprioritize my life (keyword: attempting), placing God first, everyone else second, and me last, I gained a better sense of reality. It was then in Eucharistic adoration that I experienced a singular graced moment and knew that God was asking me to enter the seminary. At that time I was very uncomfortable speaking with priests, since I was never an altar server and uninvolved in parish life (I was and am still on the introverted side). Therefore, I was terrified to call the vocation director of the Buffalo Diocese. But because of God's grace, I was able to make that phone call and am currently in year four out of seven at the seminary.
Seminary life is challenging, but unbelievably rewarding. It has also dramatically changed me in a very good way. I consider Christ the King Seminary in East Aurora invaluable to the diocese and God's people. I cannot imagine being better formed and educated elsewhere.
Though the Program of Priestly Formation is a seven-year process leading up to ordination, it is quite intensive. Seminary life is a life-changing, perspective-altering experience. Even if God calls me out of the seminary, though I do not anticipate that God will, I consider myself extremely privileged to have experienced it. I hope this sharing of my discernment may help others realize their calling, whatever God has planned for them.

good morning, this is my first post here; i hope you will be able to help me ID this plant. It is growing at the New Jersey shore in what i believe is zone 7. We thought it was a hibiscus but someone from the Perennial forum thought it might be a camellia. Anyone able to help me out with this? I'm sorry for the poor quality of the photo, taken with a "phone" camera. I don't live nearby so I can't re-take or re-exam the plant right now. Thanks.
Follow-Up Postings:
i think it is some form of hibiscus. the tropical ones can have glossy leaves but i think the hardy ones do not(?). it is difficult to see the detail of the flower but it appears to have the long stamens in the center and whorled petals around that, typical of hibiscus. i don't know of a camellia that resembles your photo. i saw mandevilla recommended, also, but the flowers of that plant have a more tubular shape without the long stamens, if that is what i am seeing in your photo. |
Thank you for the reply. As you probably know from my postings on the other forums, i haven't seen this up close, so I'm a little frustrated myself. My sister thinks it looks like a Troubador camellia that i found on a website: http://community.webshots.com/photo/29863329/29864387NDKlrFqeBZ I hope it's ok to post that here for you to see. I am going to give up for now, because I need to see the plant in person and see what the leaves and buds really look like. One person on another forum said that camellias are quite common around the NJ shore area. I will have to find the owner and ask - it might take some doing since most of the houses are rented out for the summer months when we are there. But for now, I'm going to stop obssssing LOL. Thanks again. Anita |
of course i meant obsessing... now i'm obsessing over spelling! Ha ha ha |

It's a hibiscus. I grow both camellia's and hibiscus. Hibiscus flowers start with a unique flower bud on the end of a its own short stem. They also have that bud surrounded by pointed petals (like a little star). Camellia buds form at the union of the stem and the leaf without a stem on the flower. The buds are tight like acorns until they flower. The flowers on camellias do not stand out in front of the leaf. A hibiscus flower can, at times, be stretched out and away from the plant. Also, the veining on your leaf is not common to camellias. Finally, you'll see that hibiscus flowers end their life by rolling back up and camellis buds simply fall to the ground after using "browning" out. My two cents. |

EUR/USD Technical Update – Price Action Analysis – 2nd January 2013
- From a sentiment perspective, recent developments in the US have been supportive for risk and high beta currencies so far today, as the House of Representatives approved a bipartisan deal to raise taxes for high earners, thus avoiding the so called 'fiscal cliff'.
- On the back of the above the EUR/USD currency pair has been trading near the recent range resistance highs, threatening a sustained break above the weekly inside bar, but still below the 1.3307 peak level which marks the 19/12/12 bearish pinbar/doji high.
- Any sustained break above the highs has the FE100 expansion of 1.2661 > 1.3125 > 1.2875 as a possible resistance focus area (see W1 chart below), this is located around the 1.3337 area. A move above this point has a prior resistance cluster around 1.3380 as a potential trouble area.
- A key EUR/USD area we would be monitoring on any extended upside is the the 50% corrective retrace and 1.3500 round number confluence level.
- Any failure to sustain above the 1.3300 area highs brings the risk of a reversion to the recent 1.3180 – 1.3300 range trading, with any sustained downside bring the 1.3125 and 1.3000 areas back as technical points of interest.
- In related markets, we note that cable has taken out recent range highs above 1.6300 and moved as high as 1.6380, GBP/USD is currently around 0.47% higher on the day as significant volatility was seen on a break of the 1.6310 area – before price subsequently consolidated lower. EUR/GBP found resistance around 0.8150 and is near flat on the day after giving back earlier gains.
- The price of gold is trading up around 0.70%, AUD/USD is trading at a 61.8% retrace level just under 1.0500 (up almost 1% today) and the USDX (dollar index) is lower on the day and trading around the 79.40 area.
