Iowa Valley Continuing Education offers industrial maintenance training
MARSHALLTOWN – Iowa Valley Continuing Education is proud to announce a new partnership with JBS and Iowa Workforce Development in Marshalltown. The businesses will be joining together to offer a six-week paid industrial maintenance training program that could lead to permanent positions at JBS.
Student interested in the program will be directed to Iowa Workforce to take pre-screen testing with the NCRC. After passing the screening, students will take part in a two-day job shadowing with an industrial maintenance person at JBS. If the student continues to be interested in the position, selected participants will continue training through IVCE.
This course is designed to provide workers with the basic knowledge and skills required for positions in industrial maintenance and job success. The course provides a fundamental understanding of math, job success skills, hand tools, motors and controls, mechanical drives and fluid power. Students will be given an opportunity to gain practical knowledge and experience from classroom instruction and hands-on examinations. Students will be paid a salary through a temp agency provided by JBS during the training period. Successful completion of the training will allow attendees a potential job offer from JBS. They can earn up to $25 per hour as they move up levels at JBS.
"We have been doing industrial maintenance training with current employees at JBS for nearly two years for all shifts," commented IVCE Coordinator Jean Brownlie. "We are excited to continue our great relationship with the company on this new project."
The training has already started for the first session of this new educational opportunity.
For more information contact Jean Brownlie at Iowa Valley Continuing Education, 641-844-5607.

I have heard Dr. Barnard say that for someone eating a plant-based diet, the only supplement that is necessary is B12.
With respect to Vitamin D, he has said that by going outside in the sunshine for about 15 minutes each day a person can get an adequate amount of Vitamin D. I live in New England where the winters are very cold. It really is not possible to obtain adequate sunshine during the winter months.
I have been told by my doctor that my Vitamin D level is low and that I need to take 4000 iu of Vitamin D3. I am ambivalent about whether I should take the supplements or just rely on sun exposure in the warmer months. I have also read mixed opinions on the safety of supplements.
Does anyone have any advice about this?
If a physician has recommended you take a particular supplement, that's different than taking a supplement for the heck of it. If you make a special effort to get some sun this summer and retest your vitamin D levels, you will be able to see exactly how well it worked. There is some evidence that even for those who live farther north, the sun absorbed in the warmer months can carry you through the winter.
Your physician has prescribed the upper limit of vitamin D, so it should not be a problem. It doesn't hurt to do so until you can implement the sun plan!
Susan Levin, MS, RDPCRM Director of Nutrition Education
The supplement question is always very confusing to me and I hear alot of different opinions on supplementing for vegans. I prefer Not to supplement if possible but wonder about the following:
- EHA/DPA- Omega 3's - D3 versus D2 - As a vegan is it ok to use D3 ? - Calcium - someone told me that it is a good idea to take calcium along with D3 (?)
I do take B12 and right now I am also taking D3 as my blood test came back low. In terms of omega 3's I eat walnuts daily and chia seeds a few times a week and virtually no soy so I am not sure if that is adequate or not.
Thanks for the help and expertise. It is so appreciated!
- EHA/DPA- Omega 3's
Not necessary - especially if you eat a low-fat, vegan diet. You will get all the omega-3s you need from plants and in the perfect ratio for maximum conversion to EPA and DHA.
- D3 versus D2 - As a vegan is it ok to use D3 ?
If you want to take a vegan vitamin D you will either have to take D2 or buy a specially labeled vegan D3. Vegan D3 is brand new to the world, and I've only seen it available online. It's not anymore expensive, thankfully. Vitashine is the brand with which I'm most familiar, but I'm seeing more popping up in the market.
- Calcium - someone told me that it is a good idea to take calcium along with D3 (?)
I recommend you eat lots of leafy greens and beans for your calcium. No need to supplement unless a physician has recommended it.
I live in Seattle and like you there is no way for me to get my vitamin d naturally. working with my doctor I take 1000mgs a day of D3. as far a calcium, I would advise against a calcium supplement. for women it does more harm then good.
Thanks very much Susan for the help ! I am very appreciative of this very informative forum
Very informative article on Vitamin D.

20 Inspiring Examples of Textures in Web Design
Here at WDL we love textures, specially because they can add personality, depth and style to websites, print, apps and everything else you can think of. From gathering free textures to showcasing examples of textures in action, we like to keep our readers up to date with the theme and also want to show how other designers use texture in their projects. Today we have a new list of websites using textures in inspiring ways. From super discrete textured fonts to complete textured backgrounds, here are some good examples of how you can integrate textures in your next project.

These are brilliant, I especially like the buffalo lounge texture, looks sweet. Makes a change from the standard noise textures. Nice blog!
Chris HitchcockMarch 26, 2012
You never can really go wrong with textures just as long as they are used correctly. Great post
Ivon Paginas WebMarch 26, 2012
the depth of the texture is what gives more style to the Web
BTMarch 27, 2012
Amidst the sickly and indulgent designs here, we do have a couple of sites that actually use texture in an interesting and meaningful way, rather than as shallow decoration. The 'Still' site is very sweet, and shows an elegant reserve. The problem with the web is that there are little or no restrictions, resulting in very little tension and delight, as exemplified by many of the sites above.
Niklaus GerberMarch 27, 2012
Love this collection. Textures are always a big inspiration and I like using them for my blog posts.

Images should be 100% crops and not reduced in size because you cannot see the texture which is the whole point.
Links should open in a new window, especially if the only way to see anything is visiting them.

- John Singer Sargent (1856-1925), Portrait and landscape painter and muralist. Artist associated with 72 portraits, Sitter in 4 portraits.
This portraitback to top
A portrait of the colonial administrator Sir Frank Swettenham was commissioned in 1903 from the leading society portraitist of the time, the American artist John Singer Sargent, by the Malay Straits Association of London. This portrait of Swettenham by Sargent began as a copy of the original portrait by one of Sargent's copyists but Sargent took over the painting and Swettenham gave fresh sittings. He is shown surrounded by accessories evoking his Far Eastern career: a huge globe just visible in the top left-hand corner hovers over a chair draped with the magnificent Malayan brocades that he collected. Swettenham wears his white uniform and adopts an elegant, Van Dyckian pose, leaning against the chair and gripping it with his right hand, his clawlike fingers providing a note of tension.

Quickie today - have to be at work in an hour.
Work. Yeah. Only 1 day into it, and I'm ready to be done. 5 hours of playing with a puppet (my hand is still cramped) and folding T-shirts. It wouldn't have been quite so silly if my trainer hadn't come by every hour or so and asked if I had questions. Yeah, what's this called again? Oh a T-shirt! Silly me. And I'm supposed to do what with it again?
I think I would be okay with the job if I ever got to it. I have a feeling the training is going to kill me though. I'll read you a bit from my manual next time. It actually makes me laugh out loud sometimes. But good news, I may be starting cash register training sometime next week.
Next time, manual labor day jobs.

Guidelines for Documentation of a Medical or Physical Disability
At Bard College at Simon's Rock, students who request accommodations for a disability are required to submit documentation to verify eligibility under Section 504 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). These guidelines are provided in the interest of assuring that evaluation reports are appropriate for documenting eligibility for students who seek accommodations and services for a physical disability or systemic illness.
Physical disabilities include but are not limited to impairments, chronic illnesses, traumatic brain injury, arthritis, and visual, hearing, mobility, and manual limitations. A diagnosis of a disorder/condition/syndrome or impairment in and of itself does not automatically qualify an individual for accommodations under the ADA. The documentation must also support each request for accommodation, academic adjustment or modification, or auxiliary aid.
Physicians or other licensed health care providers conducting assessments, rendering physical diagnoses, and making recommendations for accommodations must be qualified to do so. A diagnosis must be provided in order to substantiate the stated disability. Recommended documentation includes:
- A clear statement of the medical diagnosis of the physical disability or systemic illness;
- Medical information relating to the student's needs, including the impact of medication on the student's ability to meet the educational demands of the postsecondary environment;
- A statement describing the functional impact of the limitation of the disability on learning or other major life activity and the degree to which it impacts the individual in the learning context for which accommodations are being requested;
- What accommodations have been provided in the past and what accommodations are recommended;
- Length of time the diagnostician has treated the student and date of last contact;
- Diagnostician's name, title, license number, address, and phone number. It is not appropriate for professionals to evaluate members of their own families.
This information is confidential and will be used only for the purpose of enabling the College to provide the student with supportive academic accommodations and other services. We will not release any part of the documentation without the student's informed and written consent.
Jean Altshuler, Director of Accessibility and Academic Support
Bard College at Simon's Rock

CN Group Education and Learning Awards 2012: Winners revealed
Published at 21:15, Thursday, 04 October 2012
The determination of a man to help create Cumbria's own university, a teaching assistant's tireless dedication and a school's efforts to promote physical activity have all been honoured.
Euan Cartwright, Sandra Michinson and Carlisle's Kingmoor Junior School were among the winners announced at the Golden Apple education awards tonight.
Excellence in all areas of academia - from pre-school to apprenticeships - was rewarded during a gala celebration held at Rheged, near Penrith.
It was a celebration of the commitment, enthusiasm and efforts people make to bring the very best out of children in classrooms, students in lecture halls and give them the best possible start to life or springboard for their chosen career.
The awards were organised by CN Group, publishers of The Cumberland News, in association with Britain's Energy Coast Campus and Active Travel.
David Helliwell, editor of The Cumberland News and News & Star, said: "Reading through the entries it's clear that our schools and other educational establishments are in very good health.
"We have teachers and lecturers who go out of their way to do the very best for those in their care.
"We have students determined to make the absolute most of their opportunities and we have governors, teaching assistants, nurseries and other education providers all identified as making a crucial difference to young lives. Most of all we get a message that education in its many forms remains vitally important and in this county is led by many talented and industrious individuals."
Watch a video of the Golden Apple awards. Article continues below...
Mr Cartwright, of the University of Cumbria, was named as governor of the year for his voluntary contribution to the establishment. He played an instrumental part in the institution's creation. He became vice-chairman of the board of directors when it came into being, having alrady chaired its shadow board.
Before the University of Cumbria was formed, he was involved in higher education for 15 years as a governor and then as chairman of the Cumbria Institute of the Arts (CIA). He led its governing body through a merger and helped pull together all the stakeholders and other higher education institutions involved. The institute's Stanwix base in Carlisle evolved to become the Brampton Road campus of the new university.
Mr Cartwright, a former Carlisle City Council director, helped steer the university through difficult financial times and it is now on a sound footing.
Away from education, he is chairman of Carlisle Ski Club and runs a badminton club in Brampton near his home. He has been a governor of Brampton's William Howard School for many years.
Ms Mitchinson, formerly of Bowness on Solway Primary School, took the teaching assistant of the year accolade.
During work at Bowness on Solway Primary School, she proved to be a valuable point of contact for staff, children and parents. She ensured she was at work early to meet pupils when buses arrive, keeping a careful eye on youngsters as the day starts.
In the classroom, she embraced additional duties, ensuring children are happy and learn with her commitment clearly enhancing pupils' ability of achieving. At the after school club, she has headed a team of staff supporting parents who need it with help, organising activities ranging from archery to cookery. Sandra has also worked hard to secure funding to make sure many of these events happen.
Carlisle's Kingmoor Junior School were victorious in the Fit For Life category, which recognises outstanding commitment to encouraging students to be active on a regular basis.
It boasts a specialist PE teacher supported by a PE consultant, who is also a governor of the 240-pupil school. Children are encouraged to get involved in sport or physical activity, whatever their ability.
They include special "activate" sessions that kick off each school day and a team of playleaders, who are pupils trained to organise and lead games and playground activities in break times.
Kingmoor also provides cycling and first aid training for all its pupils to ensure they have lifelong and lifesaving skills. Pupils also get the opportunity to take part in outdoor and adventurous activities away from school.
Meanwhile an extensive extra-curricular timetable of sporting and physical activities gives pupils and local residents the chance to try their hand at past-times such as cricket, rugby, football, Moky and belly-dancing amongst others.

Thapsigargin is non-competitive inhibitor of the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA).[1] Structurally, thapsigargin is classified as a sesquiterpene lactone, and is extracted from a plant, Thapsia garganica. It is a tumor promoter in mammalian cells.[2] The anti-malarial drug artemisinin is also a sesquiterpene lactone, leading to a proposal that this class of drugs works by inhibiting the SERCA of malaria parasites such as Plasmodium falciparum;[3][4] this hypothesis awaits confirmation.[5]
Thapsigargin raises cytosolic (intracellular) calcium concentration by blocking the ability of the cell to pump calcium into the sarcoplasmic and endoplasmic reticula which causes these stores to become depleted. Store-depletion can secondarily activate plasma membrane calcium channels, allowing an influx of calcium into the cytosol.
Thapsigargin specifically inhibits the fusion of autophagosomes with lysosomes; the last step in the autophagic process. The inhibition of the autophagic process in turn induces stress on the endoplasmic reticulum which ultimately leads to cellular death.[6]
Thapsigargin is useful in experimentation examining the impacts of increasing cytosolic calcium concentrations.
Potential medical uses of thapsigargin
Thapsigargin is mentioned as a possible treatment for posterior capsular opacification.
The complete biosynthesis of thapsigargin has yet to be elucidated. A proposed biosynthetic pathway is shown below. The biosynthesis starts with the common terpene farnesyl pyrophosphate. The first step, I, is controlled by the enzyme germacrene B synthase. For step II, the C(8) position is easily activated for an allylic oxidation due to the position of the double bond. The next step is the addition of the acyloxy moiety by a P450 acetyltransferase; which is a well known reaction for the synthesis of the diterpene, taxol. In step III, the lactone ring is formed by a cytochrome P450 enzyme using NADP+. With the butyloxy group on the C(8), the formation will only generate the 6,12-lactone ring. Step IV is an epoxidation that initiates the last step of the base guaianolide formation. In step V, a P450 enzyme closes the 5 + 7 guaianolide structure. The ring closing is important, because it will proceed via 1,10 - epoxidation in order to retain the 4,5 - double bond needed in thapsigargin. It is not known whether the secondary modifications to the guaianolide occur before, or after the formation of thapsigargin, but will need to be considered when elucidating the true biosynthesis. It should also be noted, that several of these enzymes are P450's, therefore oxygen and NADPH are likely crucial to this biosynthesis as well as other cofactors such as Mg2+ and Mn2+ may be needed.[7]

'Once Upon a Time': Gold and Lacey out together; Regina calls herself 'a hero'Add to Favorites | Once Upon a Time
Check out these sneak peek clips of "Once Upon a Time's" latest episode, titled "The Evil Queen." Above, Tamara and Greg question Captain Hook in the clock tower. They want to offer him a job -- since he failed at killing Rumpelstiltskin last time, they want to help him do it this time.
We're very intrigued as to why Tamara wants Gold dead. Can't wait to find out. It's also interesting to see Gold and Lacey arm-in-arm. Guess his beating of Keith really got her juices flowing -- and it appears she has forgotten her pants.
Meanwhile, Snow and Charming discuss how they're going to have to leave Regina behind in Storybrooke when they go home, which is going to be hard on Henry. Charming says they could give her a choice -- stay in Storybrooke or live out her days in Rumpel's cell.
She's bound to love that.
But Regina has her own plan -- spill the beans to Henry about, well, the beans and the plan to go back to Fairytale Land without her. Oooh, she is so manipulative. But will Henry go along with the fail-safe on the curse? We don't think Henry will fall for it.
Finally, Emma is suspicious of Tamara, but Snow says it looks like she's jealous of Tamara, even though Tamara has a list of everyone in town and their Fairytale counterparts. Yeah, that is suspicious. But Snow reminds Emma not to give false hope to Henry that his parents are getting back together, by making him think his dad's fiancee is up to something.
"Once Upon a Time" airs Sundays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC. Only three new episodes left!

To ensure expert response to all school emergencies and incidents including incidents that occur during:
Schools must:
Schools must immediately report to Security Services Unit any incident posing a:
Prompt incident reporting (to the Security Services Unit) enables:
Note: Prompt incident notification enables Security Services Unit staff at the coordination centre to provide support and advice to schools. This helps to resolve emergencies quickly while minimising the risk to personal safety.
As a general rule, serious incident is one that requires medical attention or a police investigation.
Examples of reportable incidents involving schools include:
Important: Schools shouldn't handle any explosives found at school. However if it's necessary to remove explosives from a student's possession avoid bumping, striking or dropping the object. Place the object gently in an isolated position, ensure it is not exposed to any form of heat/ignition and wait for the police.
Note: Schools should also report any nuisance activity which may not have led to damage, but could lead to crime at a future time. This information is used to implement pro-active security measures such as targeted security patrols, temporary surveillance and intruder detection systems to prevent criminal activity.
Note: an inspector of explosives may interview students at school on the same basis as a police interview.
All fires, including those that have been extinguished and regardless of their size, must be reported to the relevant fire service for the particular locality by contacting 000 and the Security Services Unit.
The Department has given a general authorisation for the use of school grounds as helicopter landing sites during emergencies for the: air ambulance, fire reconnaissance or crime prevention.
The urgent nature of an emergency may preclude advance notification. The pilot is responsible for ensuring that the:
If a landing occurs during school time, students must remain at a safe distance, clear of the departure, and approach paths.
The Department has not given approval for media, commercially or privately operated helicopters to use school grounds. They must obtain permission from the principal before landing.
Note: If the principal or school council consider helicopter arrivals or departures from the school grounds for non-emergency purposes there are stringent requirements for the safety of spectators and protection of the environment. Schools must contact the Aviation Branch of the Commonwealth Department of Infrastructure and Transport and the State Environment Protection Authority. See: Commonwealth Department of Infrastructure and Transport and Environment Protection Authority.
In the case of a loss arising from a criminal offence, the principal should:

Crunch Tour for Disruptive Freelancer Accountancy System
Crunch.co.uk offer a new type of on-line accounting solution for UK freelancers. Their system combines both a book-keeping system and in-house accountants who manage and sign-off the yearly books. Nobody else offers this service in the UK…and that's a part of the problem.
Many freelancers didn't 'get' the idea, Darren Fell (CEO) came to us to get a homepage screencast that would explain what they offer to first-time visitors.
We had a crazy-short delivery time to fit in with their launch requirements, we met the deadline and now our screencast helps explain to first-time visitors exactly what Crunch offers them and why they should sign-up.
"An outstanding service! Procasts did a staggering turnaround within 1 week. Now it's live it's made a startling difference to bringing customers on board. If you don't have a ProCast on the front of your website, get one now! In my view this is the only fast and coherent way to convey your product or service proposition in 3 minutes." – Darren Fell, Managing Director Crunch.co.uk
Several prominent freelancers had explained privately that they hadn't shouted about Crunch, even though it is local and sounded useful, because they hadn't seen it in action. Once our screencast was complete these same mavens were able to tell others to watch the video and see it in action, making the idea behind Crunch far more easy to transmit.
We chose to tell the story of how you, the Freelancer, would use Crunch to add an invoice, add an expense, bill the client, add the resulting payment and see your overall financial position. The screencast also discusses how banks will be integrated into Crunch's offering later so you need never login to your bank to see if a payment has arrived, and how they'll automatically sign-off your accounts at the year-end.
The creation process included identifying the target users and their needs, building the right story and integrating key benefits into the script. We used Jing with the client (thanks Michael!) to see how they used the application and from there we scripted the final narration and actions. Richard worked on the animations and Andy White voiced the narration.
