The invention relates to a pond insert device or pond insert, particularly for insertion in a garden pond, having at least one motor-driven pump.
Pond pump systems of this type generally have an electromotively driven pump and are e.g. used for operating a fountain or the like with water collected in the garden pond. Alternative uses occur e.g. in connection with pond ventilation or aeration or with regards to the circulation and filtering of the pond water. For this purpose the water can be drawn in in the vicinity of an inlet connection of the pump and can be delivered through an outlet connection under a pressure raised in accordance with the particular use.
The problem of the invention is to provide a pond insert of the afore-mentioned type with a high service or use value.
This problem is solved by a pond insert having the features of claim 1. Advantageous further developments are given in the subclaims, whose wording is made by reference into part of the present description.
In the case of a pond insert according to the invention, the preferably electromotively driven pump has on the outlet side a first outlet connection and additionally at least one second outlet connection. Such a construction with several, preferably two separately usable outlet connections represents a considerable extension of the use possibilities of pond pumps. Firstly, when necessary, several, optionally different functions can be simultaneously fulfilled with a single pump. Secondly the outlet connections can be designed in different ways with regards to the dimensioning, connection possibilities, passage cross-sections or passage quantities, etc., so that there are more variable connection possibilities with a better adaptation to desired functions. Several connections located at different points of the pump and optionally directed into different directions also create for a user more scope or latitude regarding the installation of such pond inserts and facilitate the connection of optionally provided, further functional units to the outlet connections.
It can in particular be provided that the first outlet connection and a second outlet connection are oriented or orientable substantially at right angles to one another and preferably one outlet connection is oriented or orientable substantially parallel and the second outlet connection substantially perpendicular to a standing surface of the pump. Thus, in the case of a regular standing position of the pond insert, one connection is oriented substantially vertically upwards and the other substantially horizontally.
According to a further development, at least one of the outlet connections is variably orientable relative to a standing surface of the pump. As a result of the preferably continuously monodimensionally or multidimensionally variable orientation over a suitable angular range, in simple manner it is e.g. possible to vary the projection direction of a connected jet or the connection can be advantageously oriented relative to a hose to be connected in such a way that the hose is connectable without an inadmissibly great bending or kinking. The variable orientation can e.g. be achieved in that the connection takes place to a flexible line portion fixable with respect to its bending position. Preferably, at least one outlet connection is provided on a preferably substantially dimensionally stable, water-carrying extension connected in directionally variable manner to a discharge connection socket of the pump. Preferably the discharge connection socket and the extension are connected by means of a water-carrying ball joint. The ball joint is in particular held frictionally in a position variable by overcoming the frictional force. The variable orientability of an outlet connection can also be advantageous with pumps having only a single discharge connection.
Another possibility for implementing a variable orientation of one or more discharge connections is provided in a further development in that with the pond insert is associated a standing foot means, which defines a standing surface for the pump and to which the pump can be fixed in movable and/or detachable manner. The standing foot means or standing platform can be so constructed that the pump is rotatable or pivotable with respect to the standing foot about a substantially standing surface-parallel axis. Thus, a connection socket or outlet connection oriented transversely to the pivoting axis and provided on the pump can be modified with respect to its orientation in space by pivoting the pump in the receptacle of the standing foot means. The receptacle for the pivotable equipment part in the standing foot means can e.g. have several locking positions for pivoting the equipment part preventing an unintentional pivoting. A standing foot can be an integral component of the pump or its casing.
According to a further development, in the case of at least one of the outlet connections, the flow quantity is adjustable independently of the pump drive. This permits a variable water delivery, even when using inexpensive pumps having a constant delivery. In particular, the passage cross-section of at least one outlet connection can be variable, preferably in a continuous manner, e.g. by means of an associated, preferably manually operable regulating valve.
It can be particularly advantageous if the first and the second discharge connection are so constructed in intercommunicating manner, that the flow quantity through a discharge connection is adjustable by regulating the flow quantity or cross-section of the other discharge connection. Thus, it is possible to operate one of the discharge connections with a constant flow cross-section and modify or adjust the flow quantity through said discharge connection, which can in particular lead to a fountain or the like, in such a way that the flow cross-section or quantity of the other discharge connection is e.g. variable through said regulating valve. In this case the other discharge connection acts as a bypass, by means of which in the case of a constant pump capacity the flow can be influenced by a connection with a constant cross-section. The regulating valve can, by means of a line or tube, be removed from the pump or the influenced outlet connection, so that e.g. the pump with a smaller line length and consequently with a lower pressure loss can be provided with one discharge connection on a fountain at a difficultly accessible place in the pond and an optionally flexible line can lead from the second discharge connection to the regulating valve at an easily accessible place in the pond. From the latter the delivery can be modified through the first discharge connection according to the bypass principle. If the cross-sectionally variable outlet connection is easily accessible, the regulating valve used for modifying the cross-section can be fitted, e.g. screwed directly thereto. It is also possible to construct bothor all the pump outlet connections with a variable flow cross-section, e.g. by associating corresponding regulating valves.
According to a further development, the inlet connection is constructed as an inlet socket with a screw thread or a coupling connection. Alternatively or additionally at least one discharge connection can be constructed as a discharge socket with a screw thread or a coupling connection. This makes it possible in simple manner, if necessary, to operate the pump for varying functions and/or with other operating parameters. For example, one pump discharge connection can be further branched and/or by means of a line, particularly a flexible line, such as a hose, laid or located at a point further removed from the pump. By means of an inlet connection equipped with a screw or coupling connection, e.g. a water source outside the pond can be connected. Thus, e.g. by means of a higher feed pressure, the delivery at the pump outlet and therefore e.g. the projection height of a fountain can be changed.
An advantageous use of a pump with several, particularly two outlet connections can consist of the simultaneous operation of two functions, e.g. the operation of a fountain or the like by means of one of the discharge connections and a preferably simultaneous pond aeration by means of another discharge connection. The pond aeration can advantageously be brought about in that on at least one of the discharge connections is fitted a jet suction nozzle means operating in the manner of a water jet pump and having at least one connection for an air intake oriented transversely to the jet direction and which can project over the water surface. Air is drawn in in accordance with the known water jet pump principle.
According to an advantageous development the pond insert has at least one container connected or connectable to a casing fixed to the pump for receiving in particular pourable weighting material such as gravel, stones, etc. The construction of the pond insert with a container for receiving the weighting material makes it unnecessary for the user to fill a separate container with weighting material, which is a method already used, but which is cumbersome and which then involves placing a pond insert in the container on or in the weighting material. As a result of the advantageous structural combination of pump and container, which can be brought about by a non-detachable, but preferably by a detachable, rigid connection, handling is significantly simplified. In particular, a container can be matched to the pump provided for the connection as regards dimensions, arrangement of connections, weight and/or the like.
The container can e.g. have a reception space for weighting material in a base part of the pond insert. According to a further development, the container has a basket-like construction. The pump, at least with the area of the inlet connection, can be positioned substantially within the container or the connection can face the container. Preferably the container has side walls surrounding the pump, whose height is adapted to that of the pump connected to the container in such a way that the pump can be substantially completely covered by loose material and/or weighting material received in the container. As a result, for an outside observer, the pump is not visible or is only visible by a discharge connection socket possibly projecting over the weighting material, so that a pond equipped with the insert has a natural appearance. Preferably, the container upper edge is higher than the essential part of the received pump or its casing.
In the case of embodiments with a container fillable with pourable weighting material, advantageously with the container filled, an inlet opening of the pump serving as an intake opening is located within the weighting material or is at least directed against it. Thus, a filter mechanism upstream of the inlet opening is formed and the weighting material can simultaneously serve as an optionally coarse prefilter for the liquid drawn in. The actual container or its wall which is broken at several points can fulfil a prefilter function and as a result of the structure of the container wall material and its mesh size or opening width, the fineness of the filtering can be determined.
According to a further development the container is permanently shape-variable and preferably the container is formed by a netting or sack. The container can be filled with the weighting material by means of an opening.
The shape-variable container is preferably constructed in such a way that it is placed or is placeable below a standing surface of the pump. Such an embodiment is particularly advantageous for the positioning of a pond insert at a point with a non-horizontal and/or non-planar substrate. As a result of the shape adaptability or variability of the container, the weighting material can be shaken into place in the container in such a way that its underside is adapted to the substrate and its top is oriented in desired manner and particularly roughly horizontally with the standing surface of the pump.
These and further features can be gathered from the claims, description and drawings and the individual features, both singly or in the form of subcombinations, can be implemented in an embodiment of the invention and in other fields and can represent advantageous constructions.
FIG. 1 is an inclined perspective view of an embodiment of an inventive pond insert with a pump, which is fixed in a reception basket for weighting material.
FIG. 2 is a cross-section through the pump outlet connections oriented at right angles to one another and to the pump longitudinal axis, in accordance with FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a side view in part longitudinal section through the pump of FIGS. 1 and 2.
FIG. 4 is a ventilation attachment for a pump outlet connection operating like a water jet pump.
FIG. 5 is another pond insert, in which a pump is placed in a standing foot so as to be pivotable about its longitudinal axis, together with a basket container shown in broken line form for receiving the pump system and weighting material.
FIG. 6 another pond insert, in which only the inlet side of a pump with the inlet connection surrounded by a filter housing is located within a basket-like container.
FIG. 7 is a pond insert with a pump, which stands on a floor adjusting container formed by a rock-filled netting.
The inclined perspective view of FIG. 1 shows a pond insert 1, which can e.g. be installed on the floor or bottom of a garden pond, which has an electromotively driven pump 2, which is substantially completely placed inside a box-like, upwardly open plastic basket container 3. The pond pump 2 firmly connected to the container 3 has a circular cylindrical pump casing 4, whereof a first outlet connection 5 passes out vertically upwards and a second outlet connection 6 substantially horizontally sideways and projects outwards through a U-shaped recess in the vicinity of the front wall of the container. As can be readily gathered from FIG. 2, the connection socket 7 of the first outlet connection 5 is constructed in one piece with the pump casing and connected in sealed manner to an extension 9 by means of a water-carrying ball joint 8. A ball section, outer joint part constructed in one piece with the extension is snapped onto a ball portion, inner joint part constructed in one piece with the outlet connection 7. The ball joint parts bidimensionally pivotable against one another by a total of approximately 50� can be sealed against one another by an O-seal 10 passing round a circumferential groove of the inner joint part. The two parts of the ball joint are held in a set position by a static frictional force, which secures against unintentional twisting and for an intentional adjustment of the orientation of the extension 9 with respect to the pump casing or the second connection 6 can be manually overcome. As a result it is possible in the case of an unchanged pump position to carry out a bidimensional change to the discharge direction in the case of an outlet connection fixed by the pump position and thereby bring about a directional deflection within the flow path in the outlet connection. At the joint-remote end of the extension 9 is constructed an external thread 11, which can e.g. be used for connecting a hose to the extension or to the pump outlet 5.
The second pump connection 6 turned with respect to the first pump connection by 90� relative to the pump longitudinal axis 15 has at the end of a connection socket 16 constructed in one piece with the pump casing an external thread 17, onto which is screwed in the example shown a regulating sleeve 18, which has at the pump-remote end portion an external thread by means of which it is e.g. possible to connect a hose or the like to the second pump outlet. In its interior the regulating sleeve has a central sealing cone 20, which faces a frustum-shaped sealing face 21 on the front end of the connection socket 16 and which leads to a regulating valve 22 being formed. By screwing the regulating sleeve 18 onto the threaded connection 17 of the socket 16 it is possible to continuously vary the flow cross-section between the sealing face 21 and the sealing cone 20 and consequently the flow cross-section of the second outlet connection 6, the connection being completely blockable when the regulating sleeve is completely screwed down. The two outlet connections 5, 6 communicate with one another in a direct manner via the interior of the pump casing and the ratio of the flow resistance thereof determines the ratio of the flow quantities. Thus it is e.g. possible to place the pump 2 with a limited line length and therefore with a limited pressure loss, optionally with the constant cross-section outlet connection 5 directly on a fountain at a difficultly accessible location of the pond and to pass a regulating line from the second outlet connection 6 to an easily reachable location on the pond edge, from where in the case of a constant pump delivery or unchanged pump drive the delivery can be controlled through the first outlet 5 on the basis of the above-explained bypass principle. To the second connection or outlet 6 can be connected a bubbling mechanism, a stream course, a flow generator, etc.
FIG. 4 shows a ventilation or aeration attachment 30, e.g. obtainable as an accessory and which is intended for connection to the horizontal, second outlet connection 6 of the pump shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and can be screwed, or in other constructions fitted onto the outlet-side thread 19 of the regulating sleeve 18 or directly onto the outlet connection socket 16. The aeration attachment 30 has a water nozzle body 31, which has a threaded portion 33 provided on its outside with longitudinally directed gripping grooves and on its inside with an internal thread 32 and which, accompanied by the formation of an inwardly directed radial shoulder 34, passes into an outlet-side, conically tapering nozzle portion 35, which forms a nozzle orifice 36. Accompanied by the interposing of a seal 37, the nozzle body can be screwed in sealed manner to the outlet end of the connection socket 16 or the regulating sleeve 18. Onto the nozzle portion is snapped in unloseable manner an outer sleeve 38 freely rotatable with respect thereto. The outer sleeve has an inner annular groove cooperating with a torus on the outside of the nozzle portion to prevent loss and for guiding rotation, together with a radially projecting line connection 39 onto which can be unloseably fitted e.g. a plastic air hose 40 passing over the pond water surface. Downstream of the air connection 39 the outer sleeve has a diameter reduction leading to a jet outlet 41 downstream of the nozzle orifice 36. If the jet suction nozzle means 30 is screwed onto the second outlet and the pump is switched on, the delivered water is sprayed at high speed through the nozzle aperture 36 into the following area surrounded by the outer sleeve and into which issues the air tube. The water flowing out at high speed entrains air, which mixes with the water, so that at the jet outlet 41 passes out an air-water mixture, which is dispersed within the pond water and increases its oxygen content. The air required for aeration is continuously drawn through the air hose 40 to the water jet pump 30.
The inlet connection 25 arranged coaxially to the pump longitudinal axis 15 in FIG. 4 is, in the embodiment according to FIG. 1, surrounded by a cup-shaped filter housing or grating 26 with axially parallel longitudinal slots. This prevents the sucking of large articles such as branches, leaves, etc. into the pump. The inlet socket 25 preferably has an external thread 27, which can be used, when the filter housing 26 is removed, for connecting a feedline to the inlet side of the pump. It is also possible to screw conventional cocks of quick coupling systems to the threaded connections of the inlet socket 25 or the outlet socket.
The described pump means can be connected, e.g. screwed or locked to the basket-like container 3 or can be non-detachably connected thereto by a one-piece construction of container and pump casing. The vertical side walls of the rectangular basket container surround the pump on all sides and are so high that the upper edge 42 thereof is spaced above the pump casing and only the directionally variable extension 9 projects over the upper edge. Grip-favourably designed gripping openings on the narrow end faces of the basket container facilitate the handling thereof during insertion in or removal from the pond. On the side surrounding the filter housing 26 the lateral longitudinal walls have vertical longitudinal slots, which when the pond insert is sunk can serve as a coarse filter against floating material moving substantially horizontally against it. The outwardly inverted over side walls in the container part surrounding the pump casing 4 are largely closed and have on their insides vertical reception sleeves 44, which can e.g. be used for fixing lamps or lights to the pond insert, in which a retaining rod, which can carry at its upper end one or more lights, is inserted from above into the same with its lower end adapted to the sleeve 44. The sleeves or receptacles 44 can obviously also be used for the detachable fixing of other articles to be fixed on or in the pond. The basket container 3 of the pond insert can be filled to its upper edge with weighting material such as gravel, stones, rocks, etc. before or after inserting the pond insert, which in easy manner increases the stability of the pond insert on the pond floor or bottom. In addition, the pond optics can be improved, because the weighting material can substantially completely conceal the pump so that it is not visible from the outside. In addition, the loose or weighting material surrounding the filter housing 26 can serve as an additional, coarse prefilter for the intake side.
FIG. 5 diagrammatically shows a pond pump system, in which the pump 45 has a substantially circular cylindrical base 46, from which emanate e.g. two outlet connection sockets, only the upper socket 47 being visible. The base 46 is snapped into upwardly open, pitch circular receptacles 48 of a standing foot means 49. The receptacles 48 cooperate with locking rings 50 of the base in such a way that the latter is pivotable about its longitudinal axis in the receptacles of the standing platform 49 and is locked in several positions. For example, there can be regular locking steps of 5�. In an extension of the base 46 is removably mounted a cup-shaped filter body 51 provided with axial, longitudinal slots and which surrounds the area of the front inlet opening of the pump 45. The delivery can be easily varied e.g. by means of a quantity regulating ring 52. Below the pump base 46 in the standing foot means 49 is provided a reception space 55 for receiving the weighting material, particularly pourable material, e.g. gravel, stones, etc. By weighting the pump by means of the weighting material kept in this reception space, the stability of the installed pump can be improved in a simple, inexpensive and natural manner.
FIG. 5 indicates in broken line form that the pump 45 with its standing foot can be placed in a larger basket-like plastic container 56 completely surrounding the pump. For this purpose either the standing foot means can e.g. be inserted in a correspondingly shaped receptacle of the basket 56 and secured in locking manner, or the standing platform can be constructed integrally with the basket and therefore forms part of the container 56. The upper edge 57 of the plastic basket container 56 is e.g. roughly level with the top of the base or somewhat higher than the latter, so that on filling the container 56 with stones, gravel and/or other weighting material the pump body can optionally be completely covered with the weighting material and consequently the entire pond insert is substantially invisible from outside the pond.
FIG. 6 shows another embodiment of a pond insert 60, in which an upwardly slightly widened, rectangular plastic basket container 61 merely surrounds the inlet side of the pump 62. The inlet side is here visible on the cup-shaped filter housing 63 provided with filtering slots and which surrounds the front inlet socket of the pump. In this embodiment the upper edge of the basket is well above the top of the filter housing. As described, the basket container 61 can be filled with weighting material such as gravel, stones, etc., the filling of the container inter alia bringing about an improvement of the stability of the pond insert. Particularly in the case of complete filling of the basket 61 and corresponding complete covering of the filter insert 63 a suitable filling material, e.g. gravel with an average size of one or several centimeters can also serve as a relatively coarse prefiltering means upstream of the inlet socket and the pump-attached filter 63 and holds back e.g. leaves, roots, etc., so that only when needed is it necessary to have a further, finer filtering in the vicinity of the filter insert 63 on the pump body. This significantly increases the life of the pump-attached filter media. This may completely obviate the need for additional filtering in the vicinity of the filter housing 63 and therefore the latter can be rendered superfluous. These advantages can also be obtained with the embodiments according to FIGS. 1 and 5. Compared with the variants of FIGS. 1 and 5, the embodiment of FIG. 6 has the advantage that the pump body is still accessible even after the container has been filled with weighting material and can in particular be rotated about its longitudinal axis, so as to optionally bring about an optimum setting of the orientation of the outlet connections. The radially leading away outlet connections 64, 65 are also accessible.
FIG. 7 diagrammatically shows a pond insert 70, in which the pump system, including the standing foot can be constructed precisely as in FIG. 5. However, unlike in FIG. 5, in place of the substantially dimensionally stable basket container 56, which also laterally surrounds the pump, there is a dimensionally variable container 72 in the form of a netting, into which stones 73 and/or gravel etc. can be filled through a filling opening in the lower area of the standing foot means. The netting is fixed to the underside of the standing foot means and can, if required, be folded up or creased and stowed in the reception space 55. When necessary, the netting is filled with weighting material through the openings in the foot area and is optionally closed and e.g. placed in the indicated manner on a non-planar pond bottom 74. By shaking into shape the netting content, the container underside adapts to the loss of the pond bottom and on the top of the netting remote from the bottom it is possible to produce a more or less horizontal surface on which then rests the standing foot of the pump system. As a result of the preferred, firm connection of the netting to the standing platform the stability of the pump system is ensured. It is also possible to use a sack or the like in place of a netting. A pump can be fitted in such a way that its outlet opening is inside or close to the weighting material received. Not only the weighting material, but also the container can fulfil a filtering function and through the construction of the container material and its opening width it is possible to determine the fineness of filtering.
It is obvious to the expert that the advantages resulting from the use of the container as regards stability and optionally filtering and/or esthetic standpoints, can be obtained with any type of pump, i.e. also with pumps having only a single outlet connection. Increased stability containers of the described type can also be advantageous in connection with other functional units insertable in a pond such as filters, nozzles, lights, etc.

Vampire babies for everyone! Buoyed by a franchise record $ 30.25 million in midnight ticket sales, 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1' earned an estimated $ 72 million on Friday, good for the third biggest single-day gross ever. Only 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2' ($ 91 million) and 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon' ($ 72.7 million) were bigger. For the three-day weekend, 'Breaking Dawn Part 1' could gross over $ 140 million, which would be the fifth biggest opening weekend ever behind 'Potter,' 'The Dark Knight,' 'Spider-man 3' and 'New Moon.' As if that weren't enough hysterical money, 'Breaking Dawn' has already taken in $ 66 million overseas.
Check back to Moviefone on Sunday for your full compliment of weekend receipts.

An up-to-date look at free software and its makers
Soundmural delivers sound to match an image, and the new Hacker Key delivers code to match the coder. We'll also look at AKFQuiz, Linux on the Ultrasparc T1, and the Debian GFDL controversy.
Media artists have always enjoyed experimenting with the interface between different forms of perception. The computer is a particularly useful tool in this field, as it is a hive of digital data that can easily be used for tasks not originally envisaged by its creators. The Soundmural [1] program by Kurt Rosenfeld interprets images as if they were spectrogram views of sound files and saves the matching sounds as wave files. Onomatopoiea A spectrogram provides a graphical representation of a frequency spectrum. In a monochrome representation, the louder frequencies are dark, the quieter ones are light, and gaps are represented as whitespace. Colored representations use a similar approach but apply darker and lighter colors.

Trampled by Turtles announce new album, tour
Fiery Duluth-based bluegrass quintet Trampled by Turtles are set to release their fifth studio album, Palomino, on April 13. To prepare for the release, the band is streaming the first track, "Wait So Long," on their website, and from the sounds of the track, their newest album might be their most expertly produced and crispest-sounding record yet. The song builds from a somewhat sparse ballad to a barn-burning, constantly accelerating amalgamation of screeching fiddles and banjo fingerpicking, and lead singer Dave Simonett's voice rings out clear above the mayhem.
Simonett also produced and wrote most of Palomino, which will be the Turtles' first nationally-backed release (via Thirty Tigers/RED). They've also planned a corresponding national tour, which includes a two-night stop at First Avenue in early April.

Wall Street Pay to Decline, Schorr Says: Tom Keene
Pay for people in bonds, currencies and commodities is likely to decline this year as firms increased hiring after a strong 2009, and regulators focused on large bonuses as those markets remained "sluggish," according to Glenn Schorr, an analyst of brokerage stocks at Nomura Securities International Inc. in New York.
"The more revenues are down, the tougher it will be on compensation," Schorr said in a radio interview today on "Bloomberg Surveillance" with Tom Keene. "We just draw the correlation between revenues and compensation: they're inevitably tied on Wall Street and this year is no different."
Revenue has declined between about 20 percent and 25 percent for Wall Street investment banks after "a really good 2009," Schorr said. Subsequent hiring boosted costs since salaries and bonuses make up about 70 percent of expenses at these companies, he said.
"We have the unfortunate situation of revenues down and head count up," Schorr said. "It makes it a difficult year to manage the expense line."
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index has climbed about 12 percent this year, after gaining 23 percent in 2009. U.S. government debt is up 5.67 percent since last December, compared with a loss of 3.72 percent the prior year, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch index data.

A search is under way for a hunter missing in Te Urewera
National Park, east of Galatea.
Rotorua police and Land Search and Rescue volunteers are
involved in the search for the 58-year-old Taranaki man.
He was one of a group of seven hunters flown into Te Urewera
National Park, east of Galatea, on Monday.
Six of the party went out hunting leaving the now lost man in
camp, but he indicated he was going to go out hunting and
where he would be going.
He was reported overdue by other members of the hunting party
late on Thursday afternoon after failing to return to their
camp on Wednesday afternoon.
A team of searchers walked in overnight to the location of
the hunting camp, arriving about 5am this morning.
Further search teams have been flown into the area to being
searching this morning. There are a total of four grounds
teams along with three 4WD vehicles comprising 19 searchers.
The first priority will be to search the area where the
missing hunter indicated to the rest of his party that he
would be going.
Weather in the area is very bad with limited visibility and
rain, with it expected to deteriorate later today.

Research Institution:
AbstractThe ion exchange membrane is the key component in redox flow batteries (RFBs) as it critically determines the RFB performance and its economic viability. The membrane should possess the following properties to ensure high energy efficiency and long cycle life of RFBs: high proton conductivity, low permeability of active redox species, and high chemical stability. In addition, low cost and high durability are also necessary requirements of the membrane before broad market penetration of RFBs can be achieved. At present, commercial membranes cannot satisfy all of the above requirements. This SBIR project aims to develop low-cost, high performance hybrid PEMs for RFBs by an intricate hybrid scheme in a polymer-polymer-inorganic system. Such membranes shall have high chemical stability in RFB electrolytes, high proton conductivity, low permeability of vanadium ions, along with high dimensional stability, high mechanical strength and durability, and lower cost than Nafion membranes. In Phase I, composition-processing-microstructure-property relations of the novel hybrid membrane will be established through detailed characterization, and performance of the membrane for vanadium RFBs will be evaluated. Commercial applications and other benefits: Redox flow battery (RFB) is one of potential technologies for stationary electrical energy storage. The feature of decoupling between the energy and power, and the extremely large capacities possible from RFBs make them well suited to use in large power storage and high output applications such as for transmission grid operations, in helping to average out the production of highly variable generation sources such as wind or solar power. Their extremely rapid response times also make them well suited to UPS type applications

My LO had RSV when he was 3 1/2 weeks old. He was treated w/ Zopenex and breathing got better. He spiked a fever a week later of 103 and was hospitalized to run tests to make sure nothing else was going on (all was fine). He has not gotten rid of the congestion since then, despite all our efforts, and keeps getting a cough back. Ped told me its very unlikely he would catch RSV again now. We have ped app't tomorrow, just wanted to see if others have had this experience (can't eliminate congetstion, return of coughing). Thanks!
I posted this on 12/08 board but thought you guys may know too

should say congestion at the end not congetstion.

Sorry to hear your little one has been sick! I dont know anything about RSV but I do know that in the last month Emma has caught 3 colds and the stomach flu with the last cold causing bronchitis. Soooo...it is possible that with his lowered immune system he keeps getting a new cold or it could be that he needs more antibiotics to finally kill whatever it is that wont go away.
With him being so young I would probably insist on being given something because its so hard on them to be sick when they are that young.
Good luck. I hope he gets better soon!!
Thanks, we go back tomorrow (weather permitting) and I hope tht they'll do something.
Nikki: Mom to Aiden 2/7/06, Zachary 12/9/08 and Amelia 7/31/10. Expecting another beautiful baby boy 11/21/12!!!!
Hey Nikki...
Kason had RSV and Bronchiolitis when he was 6 weeks old. In the hospital for a week... the whole nine yards! When he got out his pedi put him on Xopenex and Pulmicort and he got better almost instantly.
The Pulmicort helps because it's a steroid. With RSV and Bronchiolitis it causes the tiny airways in the lungs to be coated with mucus and then they inflame from all of the infection. The Pulmicort acts like an anti-inflammatory and reduces the inflammation causing the airways to open back up {and mixed with the Xopenex helps the mucus disappear faster!}.
He's now 13 weeks old and still has a cough.
The thing with RSV is that once they get it they are actually more susceptible in catching it again because they're lungs are damaged. It will take a good 2-3 years for the lungs to be at 100% again.
Another thing is that once they have RSV they are more prone to colds as before having RSV a tiny cold wouldn't even phase them. Now a teeny cold can turn into a terrible event.
And asthma. They're now at risk for developing childhood asthma. Depending on who or if anyone in the family has suffered from it. Thankfully my MIL is the only one who had asthma in our family and it was something she grew out of rather quickly.
I hope he gets better soon. Ask your doctor about Pulmicort and see what he/she says!
that photog momma to kaleb and kason.
I tried to edit my comment, but my net went hay-wire...
His cough is due to seasonal allergies. Because his lungs are damaged from the RSV he has a really nasty cough. It sucks because you can't give them any kind of cough medicine!
that photog momma to kaleb and kason.
thanks rachel, they didn't want to do a steroid now since lungs are clear, but i still have zoponex which i may use. thanks for all the info, it was very helpful. I hope both of our lo's get better soon.
Nikki: Mom to Aiden 2/7/06, Zachary 12/9/08 and Amelia 7/31/10. Expecting another beautiful baby boy 11/21/12!!!!
My 3 yo DS had brochilitis when he was 4 months old. He did Pulmicort and and Xopenex as needed for the next 9-10 months. We were able to take him off for the summer and then started back up again the following winter. He still had a ton of respiratory infections. Last winter he was fine except when he got a cold until Feb. He caught RSV and ended up in the hospital for four days. As Rachel said once they get something like this it take a long time to heal. We started Singular this fall at the start of the cough and cold season. With the combination of the Singular and being physically larger he has only had to do Xopenex and Pulmicort once during a cold. I am hoping that he has finally grown out of this, but it has taken a long time. I won't really know until next fall when I don't put him back on the Singular. Just be patient.

About MeI have been modeling for a year and a half or so. Modeling means a lot to me, and I hope to go further and pursue my dream by talking to people who have been in my shoes before. My goals in life are to hopefully go as far as I possibly can with a modeling career. What do I want from this site? I want help with pursuing my all time dream. It really would be a dream come true. I've been modeling for a website in the memphis area for a few months, and it has made me think of how far I could go with it. Everyone has been telling me about the model mayhem, and I thought I would try it since a lot of people think strongly of it. I hope to find and talk to people who could help me through this journey of making modeling a success career.

In September 1857, a wagon train passing through Utah laden with gold was attacked. Approximately 140 people were slaughtered; only 17 children under the age of eight were spared. This incident in an open field called Mountain Meadows has ever since been the focus of passionate debate: Is it possible that official Mormon dignitaries were responsible for the massacre? In her riveting book, Sally Denton makes a fiercely convincing argument that they were.
The author–herself of Mormon descent–first traces the extraordinary emergence of the Mormons and the little-known nineteenth-century intrigues and tensions between their leaders and the U.S. government, fueled by the Mormons' zealotry and exclusionary practices. We see how by 1857 they were unique as a religious group in ruling an entire American territory, Utah, and commanding their own exclusive government and army.
Denton makes clear that in the immediate aftermath of the massacre, the church began placing the blame on a discredited Mormon, John D. Lee, and on various Native Americans. She cites contemporaneous records and newly discovered documents to support her argument that, in fact, the Mormon leader, Brigham Young, bore significant responsibility–that Young, impelled by the church's financial crises, facing increasingly intense scrutiny and condemnation by the federal government, incited the crime by both word and deed.
Finally, Denton explains how the rapidly expanding and enormously rich Mormon church of today still struggles to absolve itself of responsibility for what may well be an act of religious fanaticism unparalleled in the annals of American history. American Massacre is totally absorbing in its narrative as it brings to life a tragic moment in our history.

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
Palmyra, 1823
Joseph Smith knelt in a small upstairs bedroom in rural New York, a farm boy beseeching God to forgive him his sins. Suddenly, he would say later, a light as bright as the midday sun grew around him, and a personage draped in exquisite white robes-"a countenance truly like lightning"-addressed the seventeen-year-old by name. This spirit, Moroni, then delivered the celestial decree: "That God had a work for me to do; and that my name should be had for good and evil among all nations, kindreds, and tongues."
This "work," Smith said he was told, involved locating a book inscribed on golden plates that Moroni had buried on a mound in nearby Cumorah fourteen hundred years earlier. Contained in the leaves was an account of the aborigines of America, a lost tribe of Israel, which included "the everlasting Gospel . . . as delivered by the Savior to the ancient inhabitants." To assist Smith in translating the Egyptian-like symbols on the tablets would be two sacred seer stones, the Urim and Thummim, fastened to a breastplate and deposited with the book.
Quoting numerous biblical prophecies regarding the Second Coming of Christ to earth-"For behold the day cometh that shall burn as an oven"-Moroni, Smith said, conveyed the gravity of Smith's mission. Then, the mysterious light enveloped the angel, who "ascended until he entirely disappeared." Moroni visited Smith two more times that night-for, as Smith biographer Fawn Brodie wrote, "to be authentic, celestial truth must be thrice repeated."
The visitations on that evening of September 21, 1823, were neither the first nor the last of what Smith would describe as God's direct communication with him. The tall athletic boy claimed he had received his first prophetic directive three years earlier, when, as a mere fourteen-year-old, he accidentally came upon the New Testament passage that would lead him on his religious journey. Written "to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad," it read: "if any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him."
On a crisp spring day in 1820, he had decided to test the passage
literally-to seek advice from God himself as to which of the local Methodist, Presbyterian, or Baptist sects he should join. In answer, "a pillar of light" surrounded him, and in that moment the charismatic teenager claimed to have become God's chosen instrument to reveal to the world that all religions were false and corrupt. Stung by the derision that greeted his excited proclamations to the public, Smith drew the inevitable martyr's comparison to one of Jesus' apostles. "I felt much like Paul," he would later write, "when he made his defense before King Agrippa, and related the account of the vision he had had when he saw a light and heard a voice; still, there were but few who believed him." It would be the first of hundreds of mythical persecutions that would mark Smith's life and death, and portend a future of oppression and vengeance unlike anything America had seen.
In the intervening years between supernatural visions, Smith continued to till his father's soil while spending his "leisure leading a band of idlers in digging for buried treasure," as one account put it. Dabbling in the occult, Smith apprenticed with a man described as "a peripatetic magician, conjurer and fortuneteller," from whom he learned the era's folk concepts of crystal gazing, divining rods, seer stones, and rituals associated with treasure hunting. He advised others in their pursuits, once instructing a neighbor he could locate buried money on his property by slitting the throat of a black sheep and leading it in a circle on the land. Increasingly ridiculed as a necromancer and money digger, Smith kept details of his continuing revelations to himself, confiding only in his parents, siblings, and, by early 1827, in young Emma Hale, with whom he had eloped. All the while he patiently awaited an order from the angel Moroni that it was time to retrieve the golden book.
It was an auspicious night for communing with spirits, according to the astrological handbooks of the day. "Jews throughout the world celebrated the Feast of Trumpets, which initiates the Days of Awe," or Rosh Hashanah, academic journals later noted in an attempt to seek association between Smith and Judaism. Almanacs published near Smith's home reported the date was "both the autumnal equinox and a new moon, an excellent time to commence new projects." A publication in nearby Canandaigua reported "the moon was also in Libra, when one should 'Delve and Dig.' "
The twenty-one-year-old Smith dressed himself in black, then borrowed a black horse and sleigh for the ride to the hill of Cumorah. He had been "commanded to go on the 22d day of September 1827 at
2 o'clock," Smith's sister later wrote. Emma rode with him in the carriage, but she knelt and prayed with her back to her husband, so she never saw Moroni as Smith climbed the slope to receive the hand-delivered sacred plates from the angel. If by carelessness Smith lost control of the hallowed book, Moroni warned, he would be "cut off" as the chosen revelator. There would be swirling controversies and exaggerated fables surrounding the golden plates, Smith himself claiming he hid them in a hollow black oak tree before racing back to his family home with the magic spectacles. His mother, Lucy, could barely contain her excitement over "the two smooth three-cornered diamonds set in glass and the glasses set in silver bows," and though vowing secrecy could not resist the impulse to gossip roundly. "Joseph's former troubles were as nothing to what followed after he obtained possession of the plates," the nineteenth-century journalist T. B. H. Stenhouse would observe.
"No comet appeared in the sky at his coming," wrote a historian of Joseph Smith's birth into a poverty-stricken Vermont family on December 23, 1805. The third boy in a family of four children, he was named for his father, a failed ginseng merchant who vainly cultivated a rocky parcel set above the rugged White River. Joseph's mother, the former Lucy Mack, maintained a lively intellectual quest for spiritual guidance despite an unschooled mind. Bonded by their nonconforming contempt for organized religion, the parents were avid seekers of God and a church they felt to be true.
Married in 1796, at the height of the international "Treason of the Clergy" movement-the era's revulsion against clerical dominance and corruption-the couple was keenly aware of the religious skepticism sweeping the world and nation, embodied by the French philosopher Voltaire and the English writer Thomas Paine. Paine's Age of Reason challenged Christianity as "too absurd for belief, too impossible to convince, and too inconsistent to practice." The Smiths were apparently drawn into the dialogue. "As a result of Paine's work, the Bible desperately needed support," wrote Smith biographer Robert D. Anderson. "A second witness for Christ was necessary for those who needed, in a psychological sense, a future life better than this one." Finding that second witness would define the Smith family's future.
Each parent brought a clan history of a complex blending of magic and religion that would take root in the revivalism of the moment. Lucy, a descendant of Scotch clergymen, abandoned traditional Protestantism for a devotion to mysticism and miracles. Joseph Sr. had been raised by a father who "frankly gloried in his freedom from ecclesiastical tyranny," as one writer described him, and, because he was prone to fits, was called "Crook-Necked Smith." Joseph Sr. was further swayed by his great-grandfather's accusations of witchcraft against two women, which had resulted in their hanging in Salem, Massachusetts.
But by the time young Joseph Smith began navigating his own spiritual path, his parents were wallowing in more temporal matters. Living through an economic depression, the family had moved three times in Smith's first five years of life. Then, the typhoid fever epidemic of 1813 struck each of the Smith children. While all eventually recovered, the eight-year-old Joseph fought a heroic battle in his pain and suffering that would become legendary in the valleys of Vermont. As infections and angry sores spread throughout his body, he was bled, purged, and poulticed by a local physician-all to no avail. When Lucy refused to allow her son's leg to be amputated, the "barber-surgeon . . . had to content himself with chiseling out a piece of bone beneath the child's knee," according to one account of the gruesome and bloody procedure. "Great things were expected of the child whose mettle had been tested in so fearsome an ordeal," wrote one biographer, while another psychological interpreter claimed the painful episode led to a fixation on compensatory fantasies of omnipotence that would obsess Smith all his life.
Future ramifications aside, the epidemic took a toll on the family stability as Lucy sank into emotional depression while the Smiths' financial security collapsed with three years of barren harvests. In desperation, Joseph Sr. moved in 1816 to the western New York town of Palmyra, hoping to facilitate his family's escape from its bleak existence and unrelenting hunger. Called the Burned-Over District for the ubiquitous faith healers and evangelists swarming into the area-"leaving behind a people scattered and peeled, for religious enthusiasm was literally being burnt out of them"-the town of thirty-five hundred was vibrant with "convulsive revivals." Peopled by Puritan descendants of those who had burned witches two hundred years earlier, the locale served as an underground station for what one resident called "runaway Negroes" from Missouri to Canada.
Greeted by a booming economy, Joseph Sr. immediately sent word for Lucy and the children to join him. Seizing a speculative moment, he was able to borrow enough to build a log cabin on one hundred acres of unimproved land. As he cleared and planted and Lucy sold root beer and painted oilcloths, Joseph Jr. scorned the land-"he detested the plow as only a farmer's son can," wrote a historian-turning his future, instead, to buried treasure. Before long, the entire family was "digging for money for subsistence," according to some reports.
Affable and gregarious, with a devil-may-care attitude and boundless exuberance, Joseph Smith grew into a large and dynamic young man, whose exaggerative and enigmatic storytelling captivated many. A "lake-country prototype of Huckleberry Finn," biographer Carl Carmer described him, "proverbially good-natured-yet he was never known to laugh." Though his formal education was stunted, his intellect undisciplined, his perspicacity and towering ego inspired confidence. He "would have made a fine stump speaker if he had had the training," a friend later recalled.
His embellished tales were most often spun around the mystery of the Mound Builders-a thousand-year-old lost race fabled to have been slaughtered and buried on the outskirts of Palmyra. The conelike ruins there spawned theories of a highly advanced civilization exterminated by evil ancestors of the Indians indigenous to the area, and Joseph Smith Jr. was determined to write a book about the mass graves. Accepting in entirety the prevailing legend of the lost race-folklore that would later be discredited by archaeological evidence-Smith entertained his family with tales of the ancient inhabitants, every conceivable detail of their lives so elaborated his mother thought it seemed "as if he had spent his whole life with them." The theories and anecdotes he tested so effusively and successfully on his own clan would prove the germ of his forthcoming Book of Mormon.
During the winter of 1827-28, he began translating the golden plates he said he had found in September, making use of the seer stones and dictating the book to his wife. Emma dared not disturb the plates that were wrapped in linen, for Joseph had warned her of instant death if her eyes fell upon them. Though mystified by her husband's ability to interpret the characters from the plates without unwrapping them but by merely gazing into a hat that contained the Urim and Thummim, she was faithful from the start. "I, Nephi, having been born of goodly parents"-she wrote down his words, and the book was thus begun. Bearing a striking resemblance to the King James Bible, the book told the story of the young Hebrew prophet Nephi who had left Jerusalem in 600 b.c., sailing to America with his father, Lehi. Nephi's two older brothers, Laman and Lemuel, were evil sinners, causing God to curse them and all of their descendants with a red skin. But Nephi and his three younger brothers, Sam, Jacob, and Joseph, were devout and godly, so God blessed them and all of their descendants with white skin. Hence, the saga of the Nephites and Lamanites would be an expansion and explanation of the most common theories of the day-that the Indians of North America were a remnant of one of the mythical ten lost tribes of Israel. The Nephites were what Smith called a "white and delightsome people," while the baneful Lamanites were bloodthirsty combatants.
Emma the scribe dutifully recorded what one writer called the "stream of prose that flowed from her husband's lips"-the colorful history of these two warring factions, and the origin of the founding fathers of all Americans. "He began the book," wrote Fawn Brodie, "by focusing upon a single hero, Nephi, who like himself was peculiarly gifted of the Lord." This narrative device allowed Smith to follow the formula of the Bible's Old Testament, the prophetic writings divided into books.
Pregnant with a baby that would soon be delivered stillborn, and penniless from the devotion to the couple's joint endeavor, Emma soon sought a replacement for her position as secretary. In April 1829, a young Palmyra schoolmaster named Oliver Cowdery began taking dictation from Smith, and in just over two months the two men had miraculously completed a 275,000-word manuscript. This new adventure story was much improved in pacing and excitement, but still "lacked subtlety, wit, and style," as one critic put it. "He began the book with a first-class murder, added assassinations, and piled up battles by the score." Complex and intricate, the plot centered largely around the story of Mormon-a military figure who led his people, who populated North America, and Nephi, an early migrant from Palestine to America. Moroni, the angel who directed Smith to the tablets, was Mormon's son and the last diarist of the events.
Covering a thousand years and brimming with heroes and villains, bloodshed and miracles, army generals and covert operations, rich biblical symbols and autobiographical themes, what was to be called the Book of Mormon was reflective of the unsophisticated mystical leanings of the day. At root was the conviction that all believers were on the road to Godhood, that a heaven existed where all men could be saved and then go on to create their own worlds.
Less than a year later, the illiterate Joseph Smith published the highly commercial manuscript, creating at the same time an entirely new theology. The Book of Mormon first went on sale in Palmyra on March 26, 1830. "BLASPHEMY-BOOK OF MORMON, ALIAS THE GOLDEN BIBLE," the Rochester Daily Advertiser wrote in drawing the first imprecation.

I wish history could revisit some things and this Mountain Meadow tragedy is high on my list of those things. And that only one man paid with his life for this crime is just unbelievable. The book seems to be a fair account of what transpired and also a fair picture of the Mormon people and their religious life. Why it went so tragically crazy is what this story all leads up to. In the end this reader was wondering why he went to Salt Lake City and became awed and respectful of the wide streets, beautiful buildings, and kind people of that great city. I don't blame the citizens there today but I cringe at the thought of how at least part of that town was constructed on the agony, money, and blood of those poor people from Arkansas who were traveling though Utah to find a different and maybe better life out west. I cry for them and I pray for them.
Written by an author with ancestors that were Mormons, I felt like I might be buying an apologetic tome of this horrid event. And if that was the case, then so be it. However, Sally Denton pretty much gives it to the Mormons with both barrels. The book is very well researched with a good portion of it devoted to Mormon history and origins. The massacre is given a small space primarily due to lack of actual knowledge at the site. It does however present a compelling story of the events that transpired after the massacre. This book was written in 2003. I think the potential reader should be aware that the governing body of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints issued a long-awaited apology in September 2007. While admitting the role of the Mormons in this massacre, it found that all responsibility was with the local leaders of the church. Interestingly, they found that Brigham Young's message "conveying the will and intent...not to interfere with the immigrants arrived too late." Does this remind anyone of the `infallible' pope? Isn't organized religion just a fun group of people to hang out with? Overall, it is a fascinating read especially for a person born and raised in Arkansas and now living in Texas. I hope you find this review (opinion) helpful. Michael L. Gooch, SPHR
The book is fascinating, clearly written and unbelievable. It is an unknown story that needs telling.
American Massacre is a masterful piece of expert journalism. Ms. Denton, although a Mormon, does what every pro journalist should do -- she stands back from the story and 'just tells the folks what happened.' And her research for this horrid occasion should be held up by every university School of Journalism in the U.S., that teaches investigative reporting, as a very high example. . .
It is hardly possible for a single book on Mountain Meadows to be definitive, and American Massacre should certainly be studied by all who want to learn more about the tragedy. Perhaps the book's major contribution is its bolstering of our knowledge of three non-Mormon men, Capt. John W. Gunnison, Col. Thomas L. Kane, and Judge John Cradlebaugh, and their connection to the ghastly events at Mountain Meadows. Gunnison's 1852 book, 'The Mormons,' exacerbated the tension between Utah and the rest of the country. Kane's influence in Washington, in Denton's view, deflected both federal investigation of and military retribution for the massive crime. Cradlebaugh, perhaps more than any other investigator, ferreted out much truth about the Mormon perpetrators of the massacre.
Author Sally Denton takes the Reader through the horror and the cover up of the Mormon's massacre of 140 men, women and children. Compelling and unequaled investigative reporting. Sally Denton is one of America's very best non fiction Authors.
Sally Denton has used her skills as an investigative reporter to write the best, comprehensive account of the Mountain Meadows Massacre yet. She is not hindered by the bias which shows throughout "The Massacre at Mountain Meadows", which was written by members of the same church which perpetrated and covered up the worst massacre of US citizens on US soil. Her use of 1st person accounts and other historical records is what makes this account so tragically compelling, thorough and believable.
This is a very enlightened book. Written without bias and very thoroughly researched!
Upon reading the reviews, I was expecting to read a book written by a historian who happens to be an intellectually honest, practicing member, of the LDS Church. She is none of the above. Ms. Denton is an investigational jounalist with 'Mormon ancestors'. She is not a historian and this can easily be seen in how she presents her information. In comparison to Juanita Brooks' book, written almost 50 years ago, I found very little new compeling information in Ms. Denton's presentation of the Mt. Meadows Massacre. The book was poorly footnoted. Ms. Denton makes almost no attempt at contextualizing her material. There were multiple contradictions that she makes no attempt to explain. Exactly what were the 'newly discovered documents' to support her claims? The book ended up being a polemical tractate instead of a historical writing.

Contributors' Guidelines
Education Canada is published four times a year by the Canadian Education Association (CEA). Through the magazine, CEA hopes to stimulate dialogue and discussion about education and educational reform by encouraging readers to re-examine their preconceptions about youth, learners, learning, teaching, and the definition of educational success.
Within this broad mandate, the magazine is also committed to supporting and providing voice to CEA's ongoing research agenda.
Although Education Canada is clearly rooted in Canadian experience and offers a Canadian perspective on educational issues, an important part of its mandate is to introduce readers to relevant international research and experience.
Approximately 25% of Education Canada's feature articles are French.
Content and Article Selection
Content for each issue is determined by the editors (English and French), in consultation with CEA advisors and the editorial board. We strive for a balance of perspectives from various sectors and from different parts of the country.
Each issue has a theme. Several features and possibly one or more departments will offer an in-depth look at the theme. The remaining articles cover a broad range of educational issues and topics.
Story ideas that are especially appropriate for one of our themes are of particular interest.
Governance and leadership structures of schools are under pressure to transform. Increasingly, there is a call for more collaborative leadership models and for more decision-making authority to rest with the school. This issue will explore questions relating to school leadership and governance at every level, such as: How do we encourage and build capacity for teachers to become educational leaders within their schools? How can governments (ie Ministries of Education) lead positive change in a way that engages support throughout the system? How do collaborative leadership models work?
School choice allows school systems to better accommodate students' individual needs and interests. French Immersion, charter schools, and alternative schools and programs (such as arts concentration or IB programs) are increasingly available and popular. But does school choice compromise the equity of the whole system, in effect "ghettoizing" regular schools and increasing the divide between high-achieving and disadvantaged schools? This issue looks at the benefits and challenges of school choice, with a particular interest in the question: how can we meet the demand for increased choice, while supporting excellence in all our schools?
School design impacts the way we teach and students learn, yet we continue to build schools on the pattern of what they have always been. In this issue we will explore the drawbacks of traditional design, the challenges and promise of new designs for learning, and showcase examples that are breathing new life into old spaces, from entire schools to re-visioned learning areas within traditional buildings.
How we can bring students' experience, concerns, and input into all levels of education: the classroom, the school, and the wider board or district? How can we ensure the opportunities for student voice are respectful and non-condescending, developmentally appropriate, and reflective of a range of student experience (not just the 'high flyers')? And why should we?
When selecting or soliciting articles, we ask authors to keep in mind the magazine's purpose and to situate their subject within the broad discussion of improving learning, creating healthy, engaging school environments, and fostering both equity and excellence in public education. Education Canada aims to bridge research to practice, and vice versa. Thus, whenever possible and appropriate, we'd like articles that are theory- and research-based to consider the material's relevance to education practitioners, and offer steps individual teachers, schools, or school boards can take to begin to bring theory into practice. Conversely, when articles are based on specific programs or initiatives, the author should address implications for improved learning, improved understanding of youth and the learning process, or on social changes that will have a positive impact on society in general and youth in particular.
Education Canada does not accept articles which promote commercial products or programs. Please restrict mention of your business interests to your bio.
In addition to feature articles, the magazine includes a number of regular departments that appear in most issues:
Letters: We welcome letters and will print them whenever possible.
Promising Practices: This department showcases innovative programs and practices that are showing exciting results. Tell us how you got the project started, what obstacles you overcame, how students and other stakeholders responded, how you evaluated your success.
Book Review: We run one English and one French review per issue, running about 350 words.
Viewpoint: An essay with, as the title suggests, a point of view. Your argument must be well-reasoned and well-supported, and ideally will tackle an area of controversy — an educational "hot topic." Occasionally this department may take more of a debate format, giving space to both sides of an issue.
Notre Monde Aujourd'hui / Global Perspectives: This is usually (but not exclusively) a French department looking at international developments and issues in education.
The Voice of Experience: This back-page department is a one-page (700-word) personal reflection on the experience of teaching and learning. Share an encounter with a student that re-affirmed your commitment to teaching, an experience that changed the way you look at things, or a personal experience that amplified your understanding as an educator. We hope this story will leave readers feeling moved, inspired, or re-connected with the value of our work as educators. We welcome submissions from teachers, students, and others who are intimately involved in education.
Format and Style
Education Canada is a magazine, not a scholarly journal. Our readers are well-informed and concerned educators, but not necessarily academics.
With that in mind, we encourage authors to write in an informal, accessible style without compromising important information or analysis. Use real-life stories, examples, quotes from participants and first-person experiences to provide interest and to illustrate key points. Use sub-heads to provide visual interest and help the reader stay with you. Some material (such as lists of practical tips) may lend itself to being separated out into a sidebar box.
In keeping with this informal style, references (endnotes) should only be used when absolutely essential to give credit to material taken directly from other sources. Education Canada follows the University of Chicago Manual of Style for documentation (numbered citations and endnotes). Authors bear full responsibility for the accuracy of quotations and citations. Please restrict your endnotes to a maximum of 10.
Most feature articles are between 1000 and 2500 words. Departments run between 700 and 1500 words. We also welcome proposals for shorter articles.
Submission of Articles
Education Canada contains a mix of solicited and unsolicited articles. Manuscripts should be original and should not be under consideration for publication elsewhere.
Please note that we cannot guarantee consideration of fully developed, unsolicited manuscripts. Short proposals, including a précis of the proposed article and some background information about the author, should be sent to the editor by email (see contact information, below). All proposals will be acknowledged, and accepted or rejected within two months of receipt. Please feel free to contact the editor if you have not heard from us after two months or wish to withdraw your article.
When an article has been solicited or a proposal has been accepted, the editor will establish a deadline for final copy with the author. Failure to provide copy by the agreed-upon deadline may result in cancellation or postponement of publication.
Editorial Decisions
The final decision to publish an article, whether solicited or not, is made only after the complete text has been received. The editor reserves the right to reject material if its style or content is unsuitable for the magazine, or to postpone publication until a later date to accommodate the production process. Occasionally an article may be offered as a web-only exclusive.
The editor also reserves the right to make changes to improve the clarity of the manuscript, to adapt it to magazine format or to shorten it as necessary. Authors may be asked to make revisions to make the article more relevant or accessible to our readers. Authors will be given the opportunity to approve editorial changes prior to publication. Notwithstanding that approval, the editor may make last-minute changes for space as necessary.
Except under exceptional circumstances, CEA offers no remuneration for articles. Published authors will receive complimentary copies of Education Canada and will be placed on the magazine's subscription list for one year.
