Many newer cars have computerized engine management systems that rely on sensors to report data to the computer. The crankshaft position sensor is used in conjunction with the camshaft position sensor to control ignition timing and to let the computer know when to inject fuel and provide spark sequence. Due to the mounting locations of this sensor, it is common for heat and oil leaks to cause this sensor to fail.

Last Thursday, fcw.com reported that the Veterans Affairs department's headquarters procurement shop had ordered a temporary halt to use of reverse auctions by the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), which runs the VA hospital system and is responsible for the vast bulk of VA purchasing. For several days, an unusually long time for an fcw.com article, the news was on the top-five read and emailed articles on the Federal Computer Week site.
Clearly, this bolt from the blue has attracted a lot of interest outside the VA, given the rapid spread of reverse auctions as a money-saving tool in this time of tight budgets; indeed, only last summer, OFPP Administrator Dan Gordon had highlighted the VHA's use of reverse auctions as a best practice for government.
I have been on the Board of Advisors to Fedbid -- the reverse auction provider that runs the VHA auctions -- for a number of years, and firmly believe the company's business model is aligned with the interests of taxpayers and agencies in saving money, an important priority, especially when budgets are as tight as they are now. Whenever I write about reverse auctions, I note my association with Fedbid, and I will confess to being slightly uneasy about weighing in on the VA headquarters bombshell, because some blog readers may think I'm biased.
I will also add that I am an admirer of a lot of what VA headquarters procurement management has been doing over the past few years, including sponsorship of the magnificent VA Acquisition Academy and efforts to improve both IT and supply acquisition at the VA. That admiration adds to my hesitation to write (and maybe creates a potential bias of a different sort).
But whatever biases I may have -- and I've spoken to some people inside the VA about this to confirm my impressions -- it is hard to avoid the conclusion that there is something strange about the behavior of headquarters in this situation. As a friend of improved VA procurement, I very much hope that it will be reversed.
The VA has had ongoing problems over the years with vendors located near VA hospitals selling overpriced medical equipment and other commodities to the hospitals with little competition. Furthermore, for more than 70 percent of the dollars VHA spends buying medical equipment off the multiple-award schedules (managed by the VA for GSA) there has been no competition among schedule holders. That means the VHA has presumably been paying multiple-award schedule retail prices, without getting the kinds of discounts that it is (rightly) government policy to encourage. These are situations that none of the procurement leadership at the VA has condoned.
VHA began about a year ago to begin using reverse auctions to increase competition and lower prices on schedule and open-market buys. Reverse auctions are a way to implement the idea of a second stage of competition to schedule buys, in line with government policy. In the view of VHA procurement leadership -- and in former OFPP Administrator Dan Gordon's view -- this policy has been a success. What is strange to me is why headquarters leadership is not cheering this on, because this is moving exactly in the direction of getting a better deal for taxpayers and veterans that headquarters has embraced.
There are losers from the reverse auctions VHA has introduced -- overpriced vendors selling to VA hospitals without competition -- and there are reports that when the suspension of reverse auctions was announced at a vendor conference, the audience broke into cheers. Because I trust the good faith and public spirit of the headquarters leadership, I don't want to believe that these voices have overridden the interests of taxpayers and veterans. But I will confess that the bureaucratese in the memo from headquarters suspending reverse auctions gave no even vaguely convincing arguments for why they did what they did.
It's time for reason and cool heads to prevail here. If headquarters has concerns that need to be examined -- although there was nothing in the suspension memo to suggest what these concerns in fact might be -- let them be examined. But meanwhile, I urge the dedicated procurement professionals in headquarters to allow the VHA to exercise its judgment in embracing reverse auctions as a pro-taxpayer, pro-veteran procurement tool.

As a tax payer, I am offended that I must pay for the government to have procurement officers and then pay for FedBid fees on top of contract fees. Please show me where you have saved the government one dime....even one dime!!!! Reverse auctions....do you really think sales people have nothing to do all day long but watch your portal and decide if they are going to do the business at a loss because your fees are the only profit in the deal...please help me understand....examples please...how have you saved the government money...GSA schedules, SEWP, ITES, they are cost savings as the government competes the products and services and ensures a technical review...really saves the govt $$$....show me the money!!!! On top of all of it the federal buyers think you are the federal portal fedbizopps the free to use portal....really...just help me understand...and frankly the comment about VHA buying inferior products is scary!
From a health care manufacturer's perspective, one of the biggest concerns we have is that FedBid frequently awards orders to non-authorized distributors of our products (these are proprietary product of which we are the only manufacturer). We have seen this happen several times, and the sourcing of those products is unknown (counterfeit, non-sterile, etc). Even though the solicitations state no gray market items, there seemed to be no controls to prevent that from actually happening. Reverse auctions are likely useful tools with commodity products like fuel, but the use of it in medical product areas that are not appropriate does not add value and can lead to serious consequences.
Thanks for your reply. Let me respond. A single GSA schedule price is not necessarily a good baseline for calculating savings with Fed Bid because it doesn't account for the price-lowering benefit of competition obtained through every competitive procurement (Fed Bid or not) while Fed Bid's fee is calculated off of that inflated target price benchmark - thus inflating Fed Bid's fees. The use of the last purchase price would account for the price-lowering benefits of competition in any competitive procurement and serve as a good benchmark but that only applies to repetitive purchases. In reality, the benchmark being used most often is a single vendor's pre-competition (higher) price.
Regardless, even if we assume that utilizing a GSA schedule price or last price purchased is a good baseline for calculating savings, you have to address the fact that Fed Bid's calculated savings are not compared to what is typically saved in the absence of Fed Bid. There is no benchmark to compare to typical savings pre-Fed Bid or when Fed Bid is not used. Is it really saving money if that money would have been saved anyway? No. Making matters worse, direct costs of Fed Bid - such as the fee and the salaries of Government employees dedicated to managing the Fed Bid relationship - are not being fully accounted for. The amount and application of the fee is not transparent and there are instances where the Government has paid more than it would have because of that fee. Contracting professional's fault in that instance? Ultimately, yes. But those same professionals were having a system pushed on them because it was supposedly saving millions of dollars. Thus, a circular problem.
With regard to the tax revenue, it's counter intuitive but it is indeed the case that the Government receives less tax revenue when contractors are paid less. For every dollar the Government spends out, some trickles back in as tax revenue. That obviously is not a reason to avoid paying less. We're talking about saving money here of course. This is however an offsetting factor that has been disregarded in the calculation of Fed Bid's "savings".
In conclusion, if an entity is going to claim that it's saving millions of dollars, it should be able to withstand scrutiny and validate its claims. To suggest that raising legitimate questions about the calculation of supposed savings is dumping on efforts to save money seems a bit off point. Moreover, all of these points I've raised are actually about whether money is indeed being saved. If these points are not legitimate then let's see someone discredit them. If my points are legitimate, then your advisory board should ensure that they're addressed.
Reply to Geoff, Ctd. My main belief, though, is that the Government is on a unsustainable and ethically questionable path under FedBid's model. Typically, a Government contractor can only use third party information and data it collects for the U.S. for performance of that specific Government contract. For instance, consider if the IRS hires a company to help with some aspect of tax collection. As a private citizen, I'm never asked to enter any agreement with the contractor. Instead, I know nothing about the company, I see no indication I'm not dealing directly with the IRS, and the IRS contractor can't use my data other than to perform the specific contracted task. Limiting the contractor's use of information acquired as part of contract performance helps, among other things, to avoid conflicts of interest and unfair competitive advantage. What's disturbing is that FedBid's basic business model seems to be that very thing: taking information it gathers in performance of Government contracts and exploiting it for added, outside private gain and unfair advantage. if I sign up for a specific, say, VA auction on FedBid, is FedBid's policy to discard my vendor information once that specific auction is over? Or, is FedBid's policy to keep that information gained performing under a Government contract in order to build its roster of firms in FedBid's walled garden? My understanding is that FedBid's policy is the latter, but please correct me if I'm wrong. Naturally, I don't begrudge FedBid becoming successful. That success seems tainted, though, if it's gained by so directly leveraging information gathered under a Government contract to earn profits on work outside of that specific contract. Allowing FedBid to build a permanent advantage over other firms by keeping and exploiting bidder information seems to be the Government building a monopoly rather than impeding it. Instead of allowing Government bidder information to be exploited in this fashion, the agencies need to assume full control over the platform. FedBid or someone like it could run the reverse auction site for a fixed amount. At the end of such an auction-hosting contract, though, the bidder information should be owned by the U.S.. A competition could then be held for the follow-on work of running the platform. Whatever firm won the follow-on would do so on technical merit and price rather than by exploiting information it was allowed to gather and keep from past reverse auctions. Seemingly, FedBid has adopted its business model of owning the reverse auction platform so that it doesn't have to worry about future competitors. The company's motto could be something like: "Fair, Full and Transparent Competition for Everyone . . . But Us"
Reply to Geoff: 1) Actually, I agree that auctions of goods involving unauthorized resellers aren't ultimately FedBid's fault. The Government buyer does the wrong. But, can you tell me if FedBid frequently bans vendors for unauthorized reseller activity? Generally, I haven't heard of FedBid doing much to ensure its rules or Government rules are followed. Correct me if I'm wrong, though. 2) You indicate that FedBid's "fee structure . . . guarantees results" and is a "share of the savings." Sorry to say that you provide no real rationale to back up these assertions. First, if FedBid charged government agencies a flat, say, $3 per successful auction, how would that alter one iota the ability to hold auctions just as it does now? Second, the assertion that the fee reflects a share of savings seems less than entirely accurate. Isn't the fee a percentage of the overall price rather than a percent of what the savings are believed to be? Thus, for transactions inappropriately placed on FedBid that lead to a higher price (such as the unauthorized reseller), FedBid still collects its fee while the Government pays more. How's that a share of savings?

Learn and practice real-world skills and achieve your goals.
[updated November 2015 with new skills] You've heard of these right? Star charts - Reward Charts - Chore charts - Incentive Charts
But I don't want to use bribes, payments or prizes as incentives....As a child, my parents and school teachers used them on me - but they didn't work. WHY NOT?
When I became a parent, I used traditional star charts on Cailin... .. but then that model stopped working as well: WHY DID THEY STOP WORKING?
So for the last 15 years as a school principal and parent, I figured out why these traditional models don't work for long, and then designed and invented some totally new ones as I found out how to really inspire and motivate a child, instead of bribe them.
I am now known as the parenting coach and teacher who can get a child to do whatever is needed to be done! And these techniques are now used in schools and homes around the world.
My experience as a school principal and parenting expert have really paid off ... and those techniques I used that worked are now revealed here for the very first time. You wont find this material any where else (unless someone has copied my work)
So, I know these charts work - I even show you our past examples, and have even filmed me starting new ones with Cailin.
Every single technique which I reveal in this course is easy to put into place in minutes - and can give you instant returns.
Nothing is kept secret - I reveal all I know ... and as I test even more things, those that are successful are added to the course - at no extra cost to you! This is a course that will continue to grow and grow.
As well as the Udemy 30 day guarantee, you have my personal promise that you will be wowed and delighted by what you'll learn in the next 2 hours ... and you'll be kicking yourself if you already have given up on the power of Star or Behaviour Charts.
Every minute you delay is actually COSTING you more time and effort as you keep complaining in not getting the results you need from your child ....
Enrol now! and discover guaranteed solutions that work!
Not for you? No problem.
30 day money back guarantee.
Forever yours.
Lifetime access.
Learn on the go.
Desktop, iOS and Android.
Get rewarded.
Certificate of completion.
|Section 1: How these chart models will transform your family's behaviour!
|Lecture 1
In this lecture we will explore why traditional star charts are incredibly limited and how using these new 6 different models will totally change your experience of STAR CHARTS.
We will be covering :
I will give you answer to the following questions:
|Lecture 2
Many parents use star charts just for getting the household chores done. But in this lecture I will show you how you can use my star chart models to transform your child's self esteem and attitude into one of empowerment and success.
Success comes from an internal belief system founded on the qualities of self discipline, perseverance and an open mind while at the same time challenging oneself to do, and be, even better.
This lecture will open your mind to seeing how you as the parents can impact your child's ability to persevere and succeed!
|Lecture 3
The course is structured so you can implement any of the models once you have finished the lesson on that model.
Each model has it's own Practical sheet which you can print out and follow, STEP-BY-STEP
So print it out now from the resource section in this lesson (look for the RESOURCE tab on the right of the page)
And consider this is more than just getting chores done.
This is about building your child's self esteem and positive "I-CAN" attitude!
|Lecture 4
As you progress through this course, please feel free to ask any questions and I will be happy to answer them. You can do this within the course, or via the personal messaging system.
And many parents and teachers often ask the same kinds of questions,
This free resource on "The top 20 questions and answers to become a better parents covers these kinds of questions:
I am sure you will find insights, skills and possible breakthroughs by browsing through this new course. As I get new questions from you, I keep adding new lessons. Look for the course title and link in the last lesson in this course and enroll to see if it answers your question.
|Section 2: The OBSERVATIONAL Model - the simplest but easiest to implement
|Lecture 5
Here we look at the first model: The observational model. It is the simplest and easiest to implement and doesn't even require your child to agree to participate.
This model requires you to just observe and record the behaviour that you are wanting to change.
For every example of a behaviour you want to change you place a dot, and for the behaviour you want to see reinforced, you place a star.
It works well for teens, and even adults.
|Lecture 6
You may want to ask a question about a topic we are covering, or even ask a question that may not be covered in this course.
This lesson covers the basics of how to join a discussion, or how to message me personally for advice.
You are part of our global parenting family.
You are not alone.
And we have ALWAYS, found a skill that supports ANY situation.
|Lecture 7
To start using this model you can either get your child to initiate and ask you what you are doing, or you can let them know up front what you are going to do.
The different ways of starting this model all create a different experience for your child.
|Lecture 8
This parent shared their story of how she applied the observational model on her teenage daughter.
One of the greatest concerns of parents with teenage children is that "STAR CHARTS" just wont work for older children.
When you read this story, you can see how this model worked so well, and even created a deeper bond between mother and daughter.
The parent was complaining that her daughter wasn't packing away dirty clothes in the laundry basket. But that soon changed after she implemented the Observational method... and she didn't even tell her teen what she was doing!
|Lecture 9
This is a quick overview for the observational model highlighting the most important points.
1) This model is a measurement, not a judgement.
|Quiz 1
Test your understanding of the OBSERVATIONAL model
|6 questions
|Section 3: The GOAL model- the most common (but never seen before llike this)
|Lecture 10
|Lecture 11
Print out the Practical sheet for the GOAL model and follow the step:
1) Is it a simple achieved or not achieved goal.
2) Write the positive wording of what you need.
3) Calculate the number of stars need to reach final goal.
4) What criteria needs to be achieved to get a star - get clear on the detail.
5) Make a sample chart to use for the explanation.
|Lecture 12
The wording to get them inspired and on board is the most important part of these star chart models.
The core focus in these models is to celebrate the effort and hard work that is required to reach the final goal.
We wish for our children to feel proud of what they have achieved, opposed to cheapened by just being rewarded by a prize.
Even if you are not an expert, the step by step wording in the practical sheet with do it all for you.
|Lecture 13
For a child to create meaning in what they do, it s best that they choose a way to acknowledge their own achievement.
So in this lecture, we wish to create an opportunity for your child to think about how something they will do will symbolize their efforts in achieving a set goal.
You will also learn the way to deal with the curve balls when your child chooses toys or objects of monetary value.
At the same time, the underlying purpose of these models is to create a sense of empowerment and a feeling of success as this accelerates behaviour change more than anything else.
|Lecture 14
Sometimes when you ask your child how they wish to celebrate something, they will come up with possible options that may not be what you are wanting.
Sometimes they want money, or expensive toys, or their request may just not be appropriate for them.
This lesson gives you an advanced method of directing your child into choosing soemthing that you want them to choose, but that still make your child feel you want the best for them.
Absorb and re-direction are the key here.
|Lecture 15
You don't have to have the perfect chart to get started.
All you need is a sample chart to use in your explanation.
Often the best results come from your child designing their own chart so keep that in mind for when you have got them on board and inspired.
Designing and making the chart together could really be helpful in making them feel you are in this TOGETHER
|Lecture 16
Here is another example of ours we did with Cailin in doing a star chart process over 130 days, even though she was only 6 years old.
Cailin had 30 minutes of extra homework to do... every day.... even on weekends and holiday periods.
This lecture shows you how a star chart can be used to create deep seated skills of perseverance, self discipline and a win/win experience for both parents and child.
The more a child experiences success with star charts, the more challenging you can make them and the greater the goals you can set.
In fact, it will even get to a point when they will keep asking you to start another one because they enjoy the process so much!
|Lecture 17
If you wish to support your child even more, then here is a way to accelerate their learning.
At the end of each day, or few days, you can ask them the following 4 questions.
Sometime you don't even have to have a conversation with them.
You can just ask the questions, and then let them share what comes up for them.
|Lecture 18
This lecture gives you more tips on how to move from one model to another, and how to word it so your child still feels empowered and motivated.
Most parents want to bring about behavioural changes as quickly as possible so this lecture shares the exact way you will go about that.
The key to making a successful transition is in the wording such that your child feels supported by you instead of criticised by you.
|Lecture 19
The GOAL model relies on total achievement of an activity before a star gets rewarded. That means that even though a child may have spent the whole day putting in lots of effort, if they didn't achieve the goal there is no recognition for their effort.
So the biggest risk is that your child gives up and becomes demotivated.
If you feel that this may happen to your child, then just move them onto the PERSEVERANCE model and this will get them to persevere even though what they are doing is still challenging.
|Lecture 20
This lesson gives you some advanced tips on how to get your child to CHOOSE to take on changing their behaviour to what YOU are wanting them to change to... but it comes across as their idea.
This lesson is a live recording of how we set up a situation so that Cailin would take on the goal of becoming more Kind and Respectful with less reacting and blaming.
|Lecture 21
In this lesson I share a current story of how our family used a GOAL model star chart to get the house tidy before going to bed each night.
It's not about the big rewards, it's not about the bribes.
This is all about our family values, and celebrating our persevering and determiniation.
|Lecture 22
A quick overview of the goal model
1. Best when the task is simple: achieved or not achieved
|Quiz 2
Test your understanding of the GOAL model
|6 questions
|Lecture 23
I hope you are getting value and insights into how to empower your children!
Do you have any thoughts on how else I can improve this course, and give you more of what you want?
Well, I want to hear from you, either as ways to improve this course, or ways in which you are getting great results from the course!
Maybe there are parents out there that are looking just for something like this.
|Section 4: The Perseverance model - how to keep them motivated to not give up!
|Lecture 24
If your child keeps struggling or giving up on their goals, then this model will totally change that.
This model cleverly keeps your child experiencing success, even though the goal they are trying to reach may be challenging at times.
The perseverance model is all about creating that feeling of "I CAN DO THIS".
And it doesn't mean you make the goal any easier.... but it just creates a greater sense of hope and achievement while they are doing it.
|Lecture 25
Print out the Practical sheet for the GOAL model and follow the steps:
|Lecture 26
The wording to get them inspired and on board is the most important part of these star chart models.
The core focus in these models is to celebrate the effort and hard work that is required to reach the final goal.
We wish for our children to feel proud of what they have achieved, opposed to cheapened by just being rewarded by a prize.
Even if you are not an expert, the step by step wording in the practical sheet with do it all for you.
|Lecture 27
For a child to create meaning in what they do, it's best that they choose a way to acknowledge their own achievement.
So in this lecture, we wish to create an opportunity for your child to think about how something they will do will symbolize their efforts in achieving a set goal.
You will also learn the way to deal with the curve balls when your child chooses toys or objects of monetary value.
At the same time, the underlying purpose of these models is to create a sense of empowerment and a feeling of success as this accelerates behaviour change more than anything else.
|Lecture 28
As this model is probably something totally new for you and your child, it will really be helpful to follow the script from the Practical sheet carefully.
All these models really work in making your children feel that you are on their side... on the same team, opposed to just asking them to improve on their behaviour.
It is important that your child feel you are supporting them opposed to blaming them for something that they are finding difficult to overcome.
|Lecture 29
If you wish to support your child even more, then here is a way to accelerate their learning.
At the end of each day, or few days, you can ask them the following 4 questions.
Sometime you don't even have to have a conversation with them.
You can just ask the questions, and then let them share what comes up for them.
|Lecture 30
The perseverance model unlocks the drive and motivation for your child to keep going, in spite of daily challenges and mishaps.
The underlying drive of this model is to keep creating a sense of success for your child that keeps them on track opposed to just giving up half way through.
1) Best used when you need to keep the motivation going!
4) Stars given back are put on the back of the chart or somewhere else, but not GIVEN BACK TO YOU!
|Quiz 3
Test you understanding of the PERSEVERANCE model.
|7 questions
|Section 5: The CONSISTENCY model
|Lecture 31
Sometimes, you may end a star chart model but the new behaviour has not yet become the everyday norm.
So instead of starting another goal chart process, you can move straight into the consistency model.
This model supports your child in integrating the new behaviour, while still creating a sense of success, all with a touch of creative tension.
The main difference with this model is that each day is looked at on it's own, with no stars being added together.
|Lecture 32
Print out the Practical sheet and follow the guide step by step:
1) Determine the base line number of star for each day.
2) Calculate how many stars you will give them each day.
3) Make a sample chart to use as an explanation (each day has place holders for the number of stars to be given for that day)
4) Are there any specific criteria needed to go from not achieved to ACHIEVED?
5) Decided how mnay days you would like to keep this going before your first review date.
|Lecture 33
The Consistency model is perhaps the most challenging chart to explain, just because it's so unusual than normal star charts.
Also the wording for the consequence action is so important, that your child may not really understand what you are asking them.Following the wording on the practical sheet carefully for the best results.
The main drive here is NOT to get your child to fall below the base line number.
Just the creative intention of their BEING a base line number will motivate a child to keep improving.
|Lecture 34
This is the only model that does not have a set end point, a there is no final goal to be reached.
You and your child will decide when you feel the new behaviour has been integrated sufficiently to stop using this chart.
So it is very important that when you set this up together, you also have an agreement as to when you will review how things are going, and to decide if you both wish to carry on, or if the end point has been reached.
|Lecture 35
The consistency model is all about integrating a new behaviour from a previous GOAL or PERSEVERANCE model.
There is no NEW set goal as the previous goals will still be in place.
But the model changes in that each day is now measured on it's own.
The motivational drive to make this work is the creative tension that your child has suggested, and agreed on.
1) Best used after a goal or perseverance model to support integration.
The wording for the consequence action is very SPECIFIC:
What do you think we could do that is still fair and respectful to you that shows you are taking this seriously and are going to get back on track with your goal?"
|Quiz 4
Test your understanding of the CONSISTENCY model.
|4 questions
|Section 6: The PROCESS model
|Lecture 36
The process model is ALL about the PROCESS of getting to the goal.
Each day, a different sub-goal is set just for that day.
So although you are working towards a bigger over all goal, the beauty of this model is in the up-skilling of strategic planning and action completion.
This model requires more time and effort than the others as you and your child need to meet and spend time everyday in checking how the day went, and then deciding what the new goal will be for the following day.
But this model builds strong personality characterisitcs more than the other models.
|Lecture 37
Print out the Practical sheet and follow the step by step process:
1) Write the positive wording of what you are needing as the final goal.
2) Decided how many final stars are needing to reach this final goal? (just like in the goal model)
3) What are the crtieria to deiced when something goes from not achieved to ACHIEVED.
4) Make a sample chart to be used in the explanation.
The wording to get them inspired and on board is the most important part of these star chart models.
The core focus in these models is to celebrate the effort and hard work that is required to reach the final goal.
We wish for our children to feel proud of what they have achieved, opposed to cheapened by just being rewarded by a prize.
Even if you are not an expert, the step by step wording in the practical sheet with do it all for you.
|Lecture 38
To support your child in choosing the following day's goal, this question really unlocks their thinking:
"So what do you think you could do, or put in place tomorrow such that you feel you are moving closer to your final goal?"
And at the end of each day, you can use the standard 4 check questions.
Sometime you don't even have to have a conversation with them.
You can just ask the questions, and then let them share what comes up for them.
|Lecture 39
This lesson is a sharing of how my wife and I are using the PROCESS model to accelerate our online business.
We needed something that would give us strategy and focus.
We needed something that was flexible, creative, and incredible powerful.
The PROCESS model provides us with that tool.
|Lecture 40
The process model is all about the PROCESS of getting to the goal.
The actual goal is not as important as the thinking that goes on to GET TO THAT GOAL.
|Quiz 5
Test your understanding of the PROCESS model.
|3 questions
|Section 7: The GAMIFICATION model
|Lecture 41
The gamification model is exactly the same as the GOAL model except on HOW you place and collect the STARS.
The placing of the stars is more like a board game, where you can earn bonus stars, or collect pmytery prizes.
So consider your chart looks more like a traditional board game, than a star char.
But the process of getting the stars is exactly the same as in the GOAL model.
This model requires a lot of pre-planning but can be so creative and exciting for you to do together.
|Lecture 42
I suggest the following guidelines be used when designing your board game:
•it must be fun
|Section 8: Bonus links for more skills and your SUCCESS!
|Lecture 43
More success, more links and happier and confident chidlren!
Robin Booth is an international expert in providing emotionally intelligent solutions to everyday parenting challenges. Over the last 15 years he has supported hundreds and thousands of teachers and parents from around the world create breakthroughs in getting their children to cooperate with them.
Internationally he is mostly known for founding the Synergy Schooling Approach. This approach demonstrates how easily personal and academic excellence can be achieved when a teacher uses skills in boosting self esteem and developing the child's internal motivation for success .
Upon experiencing the amazing changes in their children (the children being happier, more cooperative and more confident), these parents asked Robin to share with them these same skills. And now he wants to share these with you!
Robin has an incredibly unique and respectful way of understanding and unlocking the challenges parents face every day. This means you will not have come across many of these skills before.
Due to this success, Robin is often asked to travel to speak at conferences, be interviewed on TV and Radio and run workshops for parents and teachers. He has published books and many other parenting resources.
For the last 8 years, many schools in South Africa include Robin's workshops with FULL attendance by ALL their parents and teachers as they have proven so successful in building self esteem and getting cooperation.
He lives in Cape Town, South Africa, with his family.

Help children to improve their English so they are able to progress through school. In Malawi all subjects are taught in English from fifth grade.
As a teaching volunteer you will play an invaluable role in assisting children in learning English. All primary schools in Malawi are required to teach in English from the fifth year onwards. This presents difficulties for many children and without a good understanding of the language, learning and progression through school in all subjects can be affected. In rural areas where there is a shortage of teachers and large class numbers, weaker students can often get left behind.
As a teaching volunteer in Malawi you will be partnered with a local teacher. You will work together to teach students based on the curriculum laid out in teaching guides. In some subjects you will be assisting the local teacher, helping with checking students work. In large classes having an extra person to help means that weaker students will be able to have more one to one time and further assistance with work they are finding difficult. In subjects in which you are stronger, for example English, you will be asked to take the lead and teach the session. You will be supported in helping to plan for these and guidance can be given if needed from our project coordinators.
The school day starts early in Malawi, after breakfast at the volunteer cottage you will depart to your teaching placement at a school located a short distance from the volunteer cottage, ready to start teaching at 7:30am. You will spend the morning at the Primary school before returning to the volunteer cottage for a welcome break at the hottest part of the day. Lunch will be prepared for you and you will have several hours to relax and plan your sessions before departing for extra-curricular activity clubs in the afternoons.
We run several afternoon extra-curricular activities at the primary school including wildlife club, arts and clubs, drama, sports and extra English. You will join other volunteers in planning activities that make learning fun. They will be different from the traditional teaching taught at school in the mornings and will allow children to develop in their own interest areas and to use materials they wouldn't usually have access to.
The project is based in a stunning location by the beach, with the volunteer cottage overlooking Lake Malawi. There is something for everyone in Malawi, whether you have a love for wildlife, hiking, watersports or just relaxation on the beach, you will be able to do so at weekends. Safari destinations and mountainous areas are just a few hours from our project location, within easy reach and the project location is on a beautiful stretch of the lakeshore with many beaches to explore. Malawi has previously been in Lonely Planet's top 5 for best in travel destinations. It really does have something for everyone, with every budget. You may choose to spend your weekends kayaking to a remote island, relaxing at the beach, scuba diving, horse riding, hiking or wildlife watching. There are historic sights that can be visited. You can of course also spend your weekends at the volunteer cottage, immersing yourself in the local community, watching traditional dancing, getting to know the culture, walking to nearby villages or going to school sports tournaments.
When arriving on one of our set arrival dates you will be met at the airport by one of our coordinators and transferred to the cottage in the volunteer minibus, this is included in the programme fee. It is approximately a 3.5 hour journey from Lilongwe. If you book to arrive outside of the usual arrival and departure dates you will need to pay for a private transfer which we will be happy to arrange for you, the cost is usually around $175.
The accommodation provided is in a large shared volunteer cottage overlooking Lake Malawi. The cottage has shared rooms which you will typically be sharing with one or two other people although this can vary. All rooms either have an en-suite or have a large shared bathroom for each room. Bathrooms are equipped with western flush style toilets and standard showers. The showers may sometimes be cold but this is often refreshing and welcome at the end of a hot day of volunteering.
Three meals per day are provided and we are able to cater to most dietary requirements if notified in advance. Breakfast typically consists of eggs, pancakes or toast and tea or coffee. Lunch is usually sandwiches or pasta and a hot main meal is provided in the evenings. The cook at the cottage prepares food to a high standard but bear in mind that ingredients can be limited so there may not be a wide variety of choice on offer. Meals whilst on weekend excursions are not included.

Thanks for helping!
I had apple ricotta pancakes with bacon and enjoyed every bite. My wife had homemade sausage gravy and her comment was "yum!" The sauce had a nice spice flavor.
We will stop again.
Stopped in for breakfast over Bridge Day weekend. The breakfast was ok...nothing spectacular...but I could have overlooked that if the service had been decent. They were not busy and it took forever to get our food. The waitress forgot to place our order and finally after getting our food (with no apologies for the wait) it was ok at best....
We were told to stop for lunch on our way from Asheville to Toronto. Glad we stopped. Fantastic sandwiches, outstanding milkshakes (1 chocolate and 1 chocolate caramel(!!) and great latte and cappuccino to go.
Wonderful service and atmosphere.
Went in on the recommendation of the owner of Maggie's, which is a really pretty pub. I ordered the classic Ruben. It was delicious. Sliced corned beef, sauerkraut cheese, dressing on marble rye. My husband had BBQ and said it was the best ever. Great sauce. Great service and charming atmosphere.
We were only in town for the one night passing through and I had narrowed down to two places where I wanted to eat. Went with this place and was so pleased. They are only open for dinner Fri & Sat. We arrived a little early for the dinner menu and ordered off the daily menu which was absolutely fine....
One of my favorite local places for coffee. Breakfast are wonderful! Never been for lunch, but plan on going soon.
I loved this beautiful restaurant. We had breakfast there on our last day of vacation. We wished we found it earlier. I had their French toast. It was very good. I would recommend.
Waited over 35 mins for our order. Granted they were busy because of bridge day. Staff seemed a little disorganized. Good was ok but a little pricey. Only got chips and pickle with sandwich, no other option. Long line to pay at register. Register person was also taking orders.
The building was beautiful. The restaurant seemed disorganized with the wait staff, moving a lot but not really getting anywhere. It took quite a bit for our breakfast food to be prepared.
I thought this place would be fantastic - two of my favorite things, books and coffee. I was wrong. Tacky just comes to mind, being located in an old church should have the ability to just blow you away - but it doesn't. You walk in and go, "oh." Food average, service average, tacky inside, I don't recommend it.

Tom Shachtman, About Eric Hoffer
Charles Ruas is joined by authorTom Shachtman to discuss his work, The Life And Thoughts of Eric Hoffer (Hopewell Publications, 2011), famed in his day as the Longshoreman philosopher. Tom Shachtman is known for his prolific output, his social conscience and historical perspective--he is the author of over two dozen books on the subject of American society and history .
In his biography of Eric Hoffer (1902 - 1983) Shachtman focuses on the life of this iconoclast whose analysis of American society is pertinent to our contemporary issues. Hoffer defined the term "True Believer" analyzing the similarities between the extreme right and the extreme left, revealing that," blind faith is to a considerable extent a substitute for the lost faith in ourselves."
He occupied a unique position of appearing conservative to the left, and liberal to the right. Eric Hoffer pointed out to a consumer society that "insatiable desire is a substitute for growth," and to public figures that "fervent hustling is a substitute for purposeful action." Tom Shachtman presents the unconventional life of this independent, self taught thinker who is indeed an American original.

Something for everyone at Shands' community health fair
Published: Thursday, May 16, 2013 at 3:57 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, May 16, 2013 at 3:57 p.m.
Sonal Patel, a pharmacist at Shands at the University of Florida, learned how to brush her teeth properly at the annual Shands community health fair last year.
Photo Galleries
Instead of brushing across the teeth, like a lot of people do, you use the brush up and down, starting from the gum-line and scooping upwards on the bottom teeth and downwards on the top teeth, Patel, 43, explained.
"I do think about that every time I brush my teeth," Patel said as she stood in line for an ankle brachial index (ABI) vascular screening test on Thursday morning at this year's health fair at the University of Florida Hilton Hotel.
Patel said she was holding her mother's place in line for the ABI test, which gauges the circulation in legs for narrowing of the arteries. The test is recommended for people over the age of 50, especially those with risk factors such as high blood pressure, like Patel's mother.
The health fair has something for everyone. Although it is sponsored by the Women's Advantage Program and some of the booths catered to women's health, the doors were open to everyone, said Marsha Mott, the health promotion coordinator at UF&Shands who organized the health fair.
Mott said last year the fair had about 300 people attend, and she expected 400 on Thursday. People could get glucose, cholesterol and blood pressure and bone density screenings - all for free.
There were also booths on Florida's insects, poisons and nearly every medical specialty, including dermatology and dentistry.
Troy Starling, the associate director of the dermatology department at UF&Shands, was handing out SPF30 sunscreen sticks.
"Everyone grew up putting baby oil on themselves," Starling said, explaining the oil gives you a darker tan and keeps you from peeling. But education about the need to protect yourself from the sun has improved significantly, he added.
"Especially living in Florida, you should go to the dermatologist annually for a general checkup," to check suspicious moles, Starling said.
Apart from wearing sunscreen and hats, SPF makeup is increasingly popular, as are UV blocker shirts that you can buy at sports stores, Starling said.
"I wear them," Starling said. "I just don't like to burn."
Starling added that his booth is always well attended because it captures people's interest, from wanting to know about their rashes and moles, to cosmetic questions about wrinkles and photo rejuvenation.
Some people were less eager to approach the booth next to dermatology on advanced directives, or instructions on end-of-life care.
Bill Allen, a bioethics professor at UF in charge of the booth, said that advanced directives involve two things: a designated decision-maker if you can't make medical decisions for yourself; and a living will.
"Most healthy people see this as remote, but if they know someone who has been in an accident, this becomes an issue," Allen said, adding that everyone should really fill out an advanced directive, not just the chronically ill.
Some people, especially those with hypertension or smokers, were also a little reluctant to stop by the stroke booth, where they could have their stroke risk assessed, said Dolores Mauk, a nurse at the Shands Rehab Hospital.
"I'm trying to impress upon them that they need to go to the ER immediately if they have symptoms," Mauk said, explaining that stroke-blocking symptoms can prevent strokes if taken within six hours of symptoms, but they have to act quickly if they have symptoms.
"There's no rolling over and falling asleep," she said, adding that many people ignore symptoms and end up with stroke-related permanent damage and need rehab.
Probably the biggest attraction, or at least the most conspicuous one at the health fair, was a giant inflatable red colon that helped explain a range from normal colon tissue and pre-cancerous polyps to advanced cancer.
Dr. Shahnaz Sultan, a gastroenterologist for UF&Shands and the Malcom Randall VA Medical Center, said that for many people, walking through the colon helps to demystify a colonoscopy, an examination of the large and small bowel to look for cancer-causing polyps.
"It helps get them more motivated to get screened," Sultan said.

Off-the-rails VP a boost for Paul Ryan
Credit: AP
OMG. Vice President Joe Biden was an embarrassment not only to the Democrat ticket, but also for the country.
Clearly he was attempting to make up for the inadequate performance of President Obama by attacking Paul Ryan's every syllable.
He overcompensated with the phony laugh and the constant interruption. It was hard to get over Biden's wild-eyed look to hear what he was saying. The best word to describe his performance is: unhinged.
When Ryan was allowed to talk without the constant sniping, he did an eloquent job explaining Romney's plan on taxes and cutting spending.
Despite being slightly nervous to begin with and somewhat too polite with the crazy man sitting next to him, Ryan came across as knowledgeable and rational.
Voters don't usually pick a ticket based on the vice presidential nominee, but you have to wonder if more people will be scared away from the Obama/Biden ticket. No reasonable person can think Biden should be one heartbeat away from the presidency.

If you've been to CraftTestDummies even a handful of times, you know that I love to craft with found/recycled objects. (Or make "outsider art"- we don't get hung up on semantics here.) I was invited to participate in a challenge for the Original Sewing and Quilting Expo– a "Runway Re-View"! Here were the challenge guidelines:
- Dress form was provided.
- 80% of the materials must be recycled.
- No more than $20 could be spent on the "new" materials.
….and really, that was about it! I dug through my materials and decided to spend ZERO dollars on my piece- in other words, just to use those items that were already in my stash. Here are the items I used:
- Old men's neckties
- Recycled denim jeans
- Discarded Doily
- Old sewing patterns
- Vintage Rick-Rack
- Rhinestone brooch- bought at a yard sale 4 years ago
- Gesso, spray mists, and sewing machine/thread
Now for the photos!
So there it is! I hope if you go to the Original Sewing and Quilting Expo you'll check it out. Click the link for locations and dates!

Refers to pulling the trigger and placing a bullet (the dot) in the middle of the crosshairs (the tee). To dot the Tee, is a dark play on words indicating the job is completed with attention to detail and usually some level of violence.

Learn More: Portland Short Sale Specialist
Portland Real Estate:When most real estate agents were running away from these daunting transactions we went against the grain and became Oregon short sale specialists. Since then, clients and colleagues alike have come to recognize our industry-leading specialist status, obtained through SFR Certification and innovation through completing successful short sales. Recent increases in Oregon home values have not been even across the board; areas like Inner SE Portland have increased much more than outlying areas like Gresham, Oregon. Other areas' property values are dictated by average wages. And, even though Beaverton has high-paying tech jobs competition means that wages can't increase to match gentrification. Areas like Hillsboro's prices are also dictated by average household income. As Portland Realtors, we've helped people just like you short sale their property in the suburbs of Gresham, Hillsboro and Beaverton. As highly experienced Portland short sale specialist Realtors; other real estate agents call us for advice when they get stuck simply because our extensive background in closing short sale transactions means we've dealt with a much wider variety of these transactions. Tell us about your scenario and what you need help with and you will gain the benefit of our success in negative-equity bank settlements. With your financial future on the line you need our team's proven, specialist track-record of helping Oregon home owners just like you.
Our unmatched experience as Portland Realtors and local area short sale specialists means you benefit from every transaction we've completed and we can answer your questions with concrete examples of strategies that have worked in past scenarios. It also means that our talents have been refined through repeated success. Outlying areas like Beaverton haven't increased in price as much as close-in areas like Lake Oswego, Oregon. In our practice as Portland Realtors we have found that Beaverton and other further-out suburbs like Gresham, Oregon City or Hillsboro see more short sales than other areas. A short sale can be a great way to reduce or eliminate bad debt and put you and your family on a firm financial path toward recovery. Your financial future demands our Portland real estate knowledge, short sale experience, and our unwavering commitment to providing the finest in client representation for all of Portland metro from Gresham, Oregon City and out past Hillsboro.

Our team of dedicated Portland Realtors on your side; it's time for you to put our proven track-record of excellent results to work for you.
Nationally Certified Short Sale Resource Agents
Portland Short Sale SpecialistFor us, being a Portland short sale specialist is much more than simply being a Realtor who has a certification or who has receiving an allotment of class-room learning. It's about Portland Realtors helping the family in Gresham, Oregon facing expensive medical bills escape from their mortgage. And also about giving a family in Hillsboro or Beaverton who's faced with a distant career transfer a way to settle their mortgage debt and do the right thing. And, while we are SFR (Short Sale Foreclosure Resource) certified our most valuable asset is our experience in helping 100's of clients successfully complete the short sale process. Some other Realtors who claim to do Oregon short sales actually hire out the short sale negotiations whereas our commitment to quality means we take a hands-on approach and complete the process in-house, whether your property is in downtown Portland or Oregon City. Handling the short sale process in-house underpins our commitment to quality service as Portland Realtors. Our clients receive the best possible representation while cutting out cumbersome middle-men that add needless cost and complication to the process. Some other Realtors working in the Gresham market don't negotiate the short sale in-house and often tack on additional fees that buyers or sellers have to pay out of pocket; whereas we are specialists paid as normal Realtors out of the bank's closing proceeds. Other Oregon agents' additional fees increase the risk of failure because the housing market is already tough enough without forcing buyers to shoulder additional costs. Likewise, as Realtors we know that short sale sellers aren't in a position to bear the additional financial burden of blue-sky negotiator fees. Whether your place is in Gresham or on the west side in Beaverton, we want your short sale done right, and as part of our commitment to real estate excellence as Portland Realtors and short sale specialists means we will personally negotiate with the bank on your behalf. Thanks again for visiting our site and we wish you all the best in finding homes for sale that meet your needs, help from a short sale specialist team of Portland Realtors, or if you need to sell your existing home and upgrade. We'll be your resource for information and keep you up to date on documents and best practices throughout the real estate transaction. More than this though, we're a powerful advocate looking out for your best interests throughout your endeavors.
