Gold Soars to an All-Time High
What a day for gold, yesterday! WOW! In case you were trapped in a cave and didn't hear the news… Gold, which I said yesterday morning looked like it was going to take out its all-time high, did take out its all-time high, and not just take it out! Gold pushed past the all-time high of $1,033.90, and didn't stop until it was trading $1,047 and change! WOW! No check that… Double WOW!
The Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) rate hike the previous night, opened the door to this run by gold, as the gold bugs all came out and bought the preferred investment to counter soaring inflation… You see, if the RBA is raising rates, when most every other central bank is stuck in the mud with near-zero rates, the RBA must see something, eh?
Well, I don't know what they see, but I would guess it's inflation coming around the bend… Now… The RBA did say that they realized that they had reacted quickly last fall cutting rates too quickly and too low, and this rate hike would begin to reverse those panic cuts… Of course, the RBA did not say that they saw inflation… But riddle me this, Batman… Why would the RBA not just wait and hike rates 50 BPS in a couple of months if all they were doing was reversing their panic cuts?
So… Yesterday was all about gold! And why not? Gold has a few things going for it, right now… 1. Dollar weakness, 2. Inflation fears, 3. Rising oil prices and probably the biggest thing would be, 4. The momentum buying that takes place when mom and pops all see on the evening news that gold has reached an all-time high, and they go out the next day and buy… Shoot Rudy, we couldn't get these people to buy when gold was clawing its way to $900, couldn't get them to even notice gold when it was $950, but now that its at the all-time high…
Today… I think we'll see things settle down a bit on the gold front. Oh, and I don't mean to take the move in silver lightly… Silver pushed way past $17 once again, following gold higher… Instead of gold today, I think it will be more about the dollar.
Yesterday, I told you about the story in the UK Independent regarding the alleged secret meetings of countries to remove the dollar as the clearing mechanism for buying oil. I did mention that the Saudis had denied these meetings had taken place. Now… Here's the big deal behind any removal of the dollar as the clearing mechanism for oil… It's the perception, folks… The "KING DOLLAR" would no longer be needed to buy oil…
As far as the affect on the dollar, the actual physical removal wouldn't kill the dollar per se, as most of these oil-producing countries now take the dollars they receive for oil and trade them right away for something else… So the net affect now on the dollar is zilch. The dollar is bought, the dollar is sold… But, the perception, folks… This is the Big Kahuna here… And, think back to all the discussions we had a couple of months ago regarding the calls to remove the dollar as the reserve currency of the world… Wouldn't removing it from oil trades be just another step in that direction?
OK… Well today, the commodity currencies are the ones front and center in the assault on the dollar… Aussie (AUD), kiwi (NZD), loonies (CAD), real (BRL), rand (ZAR), and krone (NOK) are all lighting up "green" on my currency screen, which means they are UP versus the dollar! Doesn't it make sense that these commodity currencies would be the currencies to push the dollar around the schoolyard, especially after the RBA opened Pandora's Box of interest rate hikes? I think so… Because, as I said yesterday, I think we'll begin to see more countries/central banks come to the rate hike table… And they are all on this list of commodity currencies! Which again points toward "seeing inflation pressures" in the future.
And the euro (EUR)? Well, even the best fall down sometimes; even the stars refuse to shine sometimes, eh? The official "offset currency to the dollar" participated in the currency rally yesterday, moving as high as 1.4765, but overnight, it has retreated to 1.4715… Yes, even the Big Dog, has to take a back seat to the commodity currencies, right now… But that doesn't mean the euro is shaky… That the euro is weakening… That the euro has lost its place as the Big Dog… Not one iota! It simply means that sometimes other currencies take a flyer versus the dollar, while the euro bides its time.
And I would bet you a dollar to a Krispy Kreme that the European Central Bank (ECB) is chomping at the bit to join the RBA in a rate hike cycle! The ECB is a stickler for inflation fighting, a "hawk" if you will, and if the RBA is feeling some inflation heat, the ECB is sweating under the collar for sure! But, the Eurozone is hanging on to its nascent recovery by the skin of its teeth, and would not be able to continue if rates were hiked, right now… So, here's the deal… The ECB "wants to", but can't hike rates… But you can bet your sweet bippie that the ECB will hike as soon as they see the light at the end of the recession tunnel! I mean, they resisted cutting rates to the bone, didn't they? That alone should give you an inkling of what's on their minds!
I think at this point it is important to note that even with the currencies moving strongly versus the dollar since March, they are still roughly 10% below the high levels that they had reached before the financial meltdown in August of 2008. So, some people wonder if they "missed the boat" because of the strong moves since March… I think this proves that they could potentially see the currencies move back to their previous highs.
Ty Keough pointed something out to me yesterday when I was talking about this to the desk… Ty said that this move probably has been more genuine, in that, prior to the financial meltdown there was all that liquidity and money flying around, pushing risk assets higher and higher… Well, there certainly isn't any liquidity flying around this time! So the moves by the currencies have actually been stronger, and with a stronger base.
Today… We'll see the monthly budget statement for September. I laugh at the name of the data, given this has been nothing but a beficit for a month of Sundays now… So, why not just change it to the monthly budget deficit? I mean, it couldn't even post a surplus in April or June when normally tax receipts outweigh deficit spending! I know, I know, you're squirming in your seat thinking that I'm going to go on a tirade about deficit spending once again, when you've heard it from me over and over and over again for years now… Well, I have a treat for you… I'm not going to go there today! I mean, it certainly isn't important to our leaders… So why should I continue to make a big deal out of it?
HA! Gotcha! You know me, I can't just leave the deficit spending, and national debt alone! I can't let the leaders of our country win! I'm going to fight them to the bitter end, and you should too! Come on! Follow me! We can win this battle, if we have enough people to fight it!
And then there was this… I'm seeing more signs that the break of currencies and stocks is happening… And what a welcome thing that would be! These two have different pricing mechanisms and a low correlation to each other, which leads to both being in an investment portfolio for diversification… But, as chronicled many times in the past, since March of this year, the two have moved together… But last week, we saw a sign that fundamentals might be coming back into play… And then overnight, in Asia, we saw Asian stocks move significantly higher, and the dollar remain at current levels, not getting sold, as in the past six months… Hmmm… Maybe, this is just another teaser… But, I have to think that a return to fundamentals is coming… And none too soon either! For you all know what I think of future stock returns!
OK… To recap… Gold hits an all-time high and continues to move higher! Did the RBA smell the smoke of inflation burning? The commodity currencies are the story today as they are the leaders of the pack versus the dollar. Perception is the key to the dollar being removed as the clearing mechanism for oil… And, the budget deficit prints today.

More Newtons: What I Need
In the meantime I've finally put together what I consider to be a virtually complete checklist of what Newton released. This hasn't been easy and without the help of people such as Peter Ivan, Robert Thomas and Kevin Patrick then things would all the more muddier. What frustrates me is that there are a few people in the circles that collect these kind of comics who now want to charge me arms and legs - in one case someone has been dangling a certain Newton in my face for a few months now but keeps telling me that they won't sell, trade or anything else to me because they like the cover. Damn frustrating. I've been paying over the odds to get a decent collection up and I'll keep doing so (mind you paying over the odds means I've been taking advantage of more than once). It's come down to me buying Newtons from America(!) and in the process I've amassed a decent collection of spares - so if anyone has anything here then get in touch and let's work a deal.
AVENGERS ANNUAL; The: #1
DAREDEVIL GIANT SPECIAL: (not numbered)
DAREDEVIL, THOR & THE X-MEN: (not numbered)
ORIGINS OF GREAT MARVEL COMIC HEROES: blue variant cover (as seen on the right)
PLANET OF THE APES: giveaway comic that was issued in the Sunday Observer
I'm going to re-start the series over the next few weeks, so keep an eye out. Feel free to send over nice, high res-scans of anything you might have Newton related - it all adds up to completing the picture of what happened and when. I can almost sense a book in all of this, a major article at least. Pity that none of the American magazine publishers are interested though, but then that's to be expected I guess. I expect that one day I'll have more than enough to publish my own little book on this company...

Hi Daniel - That list of remaining Newton titles you need to complete your collection is amazing! There are more than a few titles hear that I've never even heard of, let alone seen - and I started reading Newton Comics while they were still in business back in 1975/76, so I thought I'd seen most of them.
That 'Origins of Great Marvel Comics Heroes' - I think I've posted elsewhere on your blog that this 'blue cover variant' might have been the one I used to have when I was a kid? But I recall you mentioning, or posting an image of this same comic, with a different colour scheme?
Yes, I think there's definitely a major article (if not a mini self-published book) about Newton Comics in the making here!

Daniel, looking forward to the rest of the Newton blog series. The detail so far for each issue has been amazing and well done!
As for your wants list:
Daredevil #3 & #4?
I am not convinced these exist but would be glad to be proven wrong (there have been a few issues, which I never believed existed, turn up in the last few years).
In FF4#15 (March '76) there is indeed an advert for Daredevil #3 with a cover date of April '76. The cover and story depicts Daredevil's first encounter with the Purple Man.
In the same issue there is an ad for Hulk #16 also cover dated April '76. The cover depicts the Hulk and the Sandman, drawn by Herb Trimpe and titled, "Where Shift The Burning Sands."
I believe that both these issues were intended to be released as part of their on-going titles in April '76. The cover mock-ups had already been prepared and ready for publishing as shown in the ads.
However, Newton Comics went on hiatus for 4-5 months and both these stories eventually saw print in Newton Spectacular and Newton 4-In-1 in August '76.
The only Newton comic I have ever seen with an April '76 cover date is Dracula #13. The contents/Marvel Mailbag/letters reflect the March '76 editions. I presume that this issue was published very late in the March schedule.
Has anyone ever seen the "Free King Size Super Hero Posters" as advertised in the August '76 issues? I have never come across any of these with the poster included. Looking at the uninterrupted page count of these issues, I suspect they were never included unless as an unattached insert?
Anyway, keep up the good work!

Robert: I'm taking a punt on DD #3 & 4 because I firmly believe that the contents were rounded up and issued as the Daredevil Special. But as you've pointed out as time passes more of the Newtons are turning up that people didn't think existed. Same with the Hulk #16 - more than likely it doesn't exist, but you just never know. Remember: when I spoke to John Cornielle he was insistent that the Swap Card Album was never issued. Come ot think of it there's a few comics listed on my list that I just don't believe exist in this day and age because I doubt they got published.
I'll scan the ads for some of those missing issues and post those so people can at least see what the covers (might have) looked like.
Out of all of the stuff I've listed I doubt I'll ever even see the Sunday Observer give-away - the Melbourne State Library never even got back to me with my requests. I'll check with them again next time I'm over there (hopefully in the next few weeks or so) but I think they're not that fussed about digging material out for a guy in Adelaide.
I recall someone (perhaps Peter Ivan?) telling me that the giant posters were indeed inserts.
Kevin: I'd love to get a few heads together and actually do a book on the Newton Comics because I believe it'd sell. It wouldn't sell a million and become the DaVinci Code of the comic book world, but people would buy it - I've had more than enough hits here and comments both on the site and via email to prove that. I might have to think a bit more about it and if I can get some free time in the schedule then I'll start working on something. All I'd need is someone to publish/distribute it and I'd be set to go. Luckily there's enough people around who worked there at the time who remember stuff and there's a few of us who've done some serious research - it could happen easily.
I recall you talking about the blue 'Origins' cover earlier? Anyway Robert sent me the scan and it's on the list. Classic eh? You can almost see them sitting there going, "Shit - we had a printing problem and half the run is rooted." only to have Newton walk in and say, "Put it out anyway - no-one will notice." He was probably right too.

Daniel: If you do manage to get to Melbourne, I recommend that you try a round trip and include Canberra as a stopover on the way there or back.
Go to the National Library and there they have every Sunday Observer ever printed in bound volumes. I was only able to spend a half day there and since I was rushed for time, I am sure I missed some Newton /advertising info.
I recall that while the staff were very helpful, there seemed to be some copyright/copying problem and I couldn't actually get copies that day. I remember telling a librarian that Maxwell Newton was no longer around to ask for copyright permission and that no-one held copyright since the Sunday Observer no longer existed. (Although today's Melbourne Observer probably holds these rights) Also, the bound volumes were so large and cumbersome, they couldn't be taken to the photocopier and copied without damaging the spine or violating some OHS rule or something like that. The librarian suggested I take photos of the pages with a digital camera! In the end, I quickly jotted down some dates and page numbers. When I got back home I made an on-line order for some of the pages I had noted (fee involved) I received some photocopies in the mail of the pages I had requested. I only have a fraction of all the pages I had noted at National Library.
Yes, Peter also informed me that he recalls having the King-Size Hulk Poster (cover of #2) coming from one the comics, but couldn't remember which one?
Interestingly, this web-site:
based in Texas, had some Newton Comics in their inventory (now out of stock - thanks to me :) ) but the listing is still there. At the website, go to Megastore and then do a search by publisher. You will find 2 entries each for Newton Spectacular, Newton Triple Action and Newton 4-In-1, one entry with poster, the other without. At the time I made the purchase, the issues with posters were already listed as out of stock. But an indication at least that these posters might exist.

By definition, "beams" are an offshoot of a light source. They illuminate, but not as wholly as a sun or lamp or fireball -- they highlight selectively and leave other parts of the scenery in the darkness. In their myriad meanings and connotations, they make for the perfect namesake for Matthew Dear's fifth studio album.
"Everything's a bit brighter," Dear says of the disc when comparing it to his 2010 release, Black City, a greatly lauded work that tells the tale of a fictional city inspired by New York and all the darkness that it holds. "Beams is the tail end of that kind of madness -- that force of nonstop living," he says. "So that's the kind of beams that are shooting out the back end of this kind of insane, intense world that Black City was for me."
Although Dear deems the album "brighter," don't expect a bubbly pop effort. Remember, these "beams" are shooting out of a dark world and are thus tainted by its influence. There are danceable jams like "Fighting Is Futile" -- which seems hopeful and includes the lyric "I'm not sick anymore" -- but, well, it's called "Fighting Is Futile" (a sentiment that also crops up in single "Her Fantasy"), so how bright is that really? Tonally Beams is definitely brighter than Dark City -- especially when comparing this collection of songs to the anxiety-ridden thumper "You Put a Smell on Me" -- but lyrically, it's another story. Disturbing images like "I laughed when they hit you with their sticks" flit in and out of bright spots ("Shake Me"), and as you follow Dear down one imagined storyline, you find yourself lost somewhere in his mind. As he sings on "Do the Right Thing," "I'm between what you see/ Close your eyes to look at me." Exactly. What?
"I don't try to overcomplicate things but just try to give a new perspective on the way thatI can make life into a riddle."
And that's what's so effective about Dear's songwriting -- unlike modern musicians in his genre who hide their lyrics in a sea of fuzz or decry them altogether, Dear spends time with words. He allows them to stand at the forefront of his music but still manages to obfuscate the meaning as much as a band like Liars, who decline to even print their lyrics. All that's left is the feeling of the music, personal to Dear and subjective all at once.
"I'm into wordplay, but I'm not into complexity," Dear says. "Some of my favorite writers or songwriters do it so simply, and it's so intense. Like Townes Van Zandt, for example, has a song where he says -- I'm totally going to mangle it right now, but something like 'time was like water, but I was sea, I wouldn't have noticed it passing.' Little things like that, where you're using the most common words -- you're not digging into a thesaurus, you're not getting all complex with tongue-twisting sentences, but it's so cut-to-the-bone, so immediate."
A prime example of this cut-to-the-bone simplicity comes at the opening of "Do The Right Thing": swathed in almost 69 Love Songs-esque smarm. Dear croons: "My heart it weighs about a ton in snakes/ I feel hollow as a grave/ I have to dig every day."
"I love the idea of the weight of snakes -- that immensity coming out of your heart," he says. "It's a different kind of adjective, but I think it makes sense.... [I] don't try to overcomplicate things but just try to give a new perspective on the way that I can make life into a riddle."
As much as the album is riddled with, well, riddles, it's still starkly personal, hence the cover bearing Dear's face commissioned by friend and artist Michael Cina. "We spent almost an hour talking about colors, themes," Dear remembers. "The goal was to have an abstract image on the album cover." At the end of the conversation, Dear asked his friend if he could also paint him a portrait, and Cina threw away all the ideas they had just cooked up. Dear's face would be the album cover, not something abstract. Not something strange.
"It was one of those ideas that comes after the fact and you realize, 'Wait a minute, these songs are very honest, and it is a bit more of a personal album than I've done, where I'm actually exposing a bit more on the lyrical side, and a portrait would be very fitting for that,'" Dear says.
The cover art also highlighted another connotation of the title: Dear's connection to his music. "It's one of those double meanings where the beams are the songs. They're the kind of support beams of my life. They're the pillars that are holding up the album and at the same time holding up my creative building," he explains.
Just as the in-Dear's-face album cover and more personal lyrics address the listener more directly than the allegorical Black City, the extras that Dear has outfitted Beams with also give fans a deeper glimpse into the musician's world. Black City came with a "totem," or an ominous building-shaped object that unlocked the album stream. For Beams, Dear is focusing more on video releases, like an album teaser produced by M ss ng P eces in July depicting the creation of the album cover. The teaser also includes friends of Dear -- like trumpet player Greg Paulus and poet Jason Charles -- creating art inspired by Dear's single "Street Song." (Dear has exclusively given us a copy of Charles's poem, click here to read.) That pretty much encapsulates the feeling of the album -- it's a personal look, to be sure, but Dear isn't going to go totally bare for you. You -- like his artist friends -- will have to build out your own interpretation in the end.
Perhaps more will be revealed, however, in the coming albums that Dear releases, as he has recently moved his studio out of New York City, placing himself further away from the "that force of nonstop living" he existed in while creating Black City and whose tail end inspired Beams.
"I finally got in there and started making some music very loudly for the first time in a very long time, which was cool -- not to have any neighbors to worry about. The gates are wide open right now, and I can do whatever I want," he says. "Living in New York, you don't always have the most thick walls, and you have to worry about people eavesdropping on you. You can tell yourself not to care about that, but there's something in there that holds you back a little bit. But now, nobody but birds and bunny rabbits can complain."
Beams is out now on Ghostly International. Stream it at Spin.

Methods and Practice of Elizabethan Swordplay
€ 18,99
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
Juni 1990
BeschreibungFeaturing period drawings and prints of swordplay, this book examines and compares the only three existing Elizabethan fencing manuals written in English before 1600: Giacomo Di Grassi's "His True Arte of Defense "(1594), Vincentio Saviolo's "His Practice in Two Bookes "(1595), and George Silver's "Paradoxes of Defence and Bref Instructions Upon my Paradoxes of Defence "(1599).More than a technical manual on swordplay, this book explores the influence of a new form of violence introduced into Elizabethan culture by the invention of the rapier. The authors examine the rapier's influence on the various social classes, the clash between the traditional English fencing masters and those embracing the new style, the growing concern with unregulated dueling, and the frequent references to rapier play in the works of Shakespeare and his contemporaries.As producer Joseph Papp notes in his Foreword, this is a book that "makes a difference in performance."
PortraitCraig Turner is Associate Professor of Theater at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.Tony Soper is an actor and fight director who has handled fight roles ranging from Shakespeare to samurai.

Chapter 1Mature
The Element War was a five year war that decimated cities and burnt digital technology. It started when Rifts opened up, seeping strange energy simply called Magic. In Brisbane, Jarred is the leader of a quasi-mercenary group with super powers, looking for their next job.
Tonight it would rain bullets.
Leaning against the railing of the third-floor hotel room, Jarred looked at the storm clouds building on the horizon, over a Brisbane turned to a war zone, and wondered if his group of problem solvers could get a job in before the storm hit. The day was still muggy, the humid before the summer storm, so it was possible. He felt electricity swell in his veins. Hopefully David had something easy for them.
His dark green eyes looked up to the filthy balcony above him, then down to a broom in the corner. This was the first bit of free time in a week. He really, really didn't feel like cleaning.
In the living room, plaster was falling off the walls and the coffee table was missing a leg and had to be propped up with paint tins. Tiles above the kitchen bench were cracked or missing. Dishes stood in piles. They were out of dishwashing liquid. The bathroom was much the same story. The bed sheets had holes. The pantry situation was non-negotiable. Tesla Squad also had to eat this month.
And, they were out of booze.
Jarred sighed. Money would help a lot of things.
He stepped inside the apartment and slid the glass door closed behind him. In the lounge room, Jess had her sniper rifle spread out on the coffee table, parts laid out in order on top of a drop sheet. Strands of her black hair fell over her cobalt eyes. When she finished cleaning she paused, pushed the hair back, then began reassembling the rifle. At the dining table, David played with his knife, as well as strands of his loose, rockstar-like black hair.
There was a knock at the door and Jarred rushed over to answer it, first peering through the eye-hole—courtesy of Jess' sidearm—to see Kale there with a manila folder. A job! Jarred opened the door and let the guest—and also his superior—into the apartment.
"Okay, I've got you something," Kale said as he moved to the dining table. Jess got up from the couch and came over. "A little bit of pest control. In the mall. Well, not in it, so much as sticking out from it."
Jarred raised an eyebrow. Kale placed the folder down and opened it to the first of several photos, pointed at a bar-and-grill underneath a large, curved corner-sign for the cinema at the top of the Myer Centre mall on Queen Street. Goblins were moving about there, setting something up. It was hard to tell exactly what, though.
"Recon?" Jarred asked.
"Exactly. These were taken a bit over an hour ago by Kevin. Your job is to see what's going on now, and ascertain whether it's a problem for us. Pay will be a grand, hard. Well, good hunting." With that, Kale exited and Jarred went over the mission brief again.
"Right," Jarred said. "The three of us are going. I've got a feeling we'll need Sarah. So split four ways, that's two-n-fifty apiece for a response job. It's not much, but I hear goblin ears are up ten percent on last month. They give us trouble, we get a bonus. God I hope they give us trouble—I haven't had a proper meal in weeks."
The trio locked up the apartment's windows and doors and headed to the lifts. At the bottom floor they detoured from the lobby and into the staff-only portion of the floor, to the first aid room where Sarah stayed during her shift.
Jarred knocked softly. Sarah startled, looking up from her work on an injured man's leg—Kevin. Jarred and Kevin waved to each other.
"That should do you for the day," Sarah said to Kevin. "Still, you should stay here for the day to fully recover—I can only do so much at a time."
"Got it," Kevin said.
"So," Sarah said to Jarred and his group. "What are you hunting?"
"Goblins," Jarred said. "Mall."
"You stopping by to say you love me?"
"Stopping to ask if you're with us," Jarred said. He felt a pinch in his back. "Ow! And, we love you."
"I'll get my stuff," Sarah said with a smile. She rose, pendants around her neck jangling, and turned to her bookshelf, on top of which were a sporting bow and a rapier.
"Rapier, bow… rapier, bow…" she muttered. In the end she took both. She tied some loose bits of her golden hair back and the four collectively moved to staff locker room, where Tesla Squad kept their armour. They fastened their armour about themselves and were out the door onto the war zone that was Brisbane city.
The walk would have been short, barely three blocks in a straight line to the Myer Centre part of the mall, if not for the obstacles in the way. They instead picked their way around fallen trees, patches of debris and rubble. They skirted potholes, avoided impact craters with filthy stagnant water, stayed away from corpses and their rotten flesh. They went up one building's stairs, jumped across the gap to the next and then down that building's. They wove between cars and trucks frozen in peak-hour congestion, none of them ever to see their destinations again.
Tesla Squad continued until they came to the intersection of Queen and Albert Streets, and the entrance to the Myer Centre. Dead escalators, positioned diagonally underneath a bar-and-grill, led up into the shopping centre. A large section of floor, which supported some of the glass panels, had fallen down so that the line of sight to the escalators was much less obscured.
In the middle of the street was a five-car crash, which Tesla Squad used as cover; Jess and David on the right, Jarred and Sarah on the left. Squeals rose up from the dining area and there—bound, gagged and strung up from the roof—was a teenage girl. Around her, ten crooked-featured goblins dressed in leather and spikes were engaged in placing red candles on the ground in a semicircle around her and a bowl underneath her.
The four took cover behind the cars, pressed up against weather-beaten metal bodies.
"Let's see what we've got," Jarred whispered, and rose up slowly to peek over the top of the car.
One of the goblins, an old-looking one with a crystal-studded tree branch in his hands, touched the tip of the branch to the first of the candles and a flame sprang to life. One by one the other goblins began to take up a chant.
"Oh crap," David said. "Is that the chanting they do before the ritual sacrifice?"
Jarred put his assault rifle up to his shoulder. "Not if I have anything to say about it." He steadied himself, took aim down the sights at the old goblin, and fired. The shot rang out, silencing the goblins as the target suddenly seized up, a green hole in the middle of its forehead, before slumping to the ground. The staff clattered to the ground. For a stunned moment the goblins stared at their fallen comrade, his green blood pooling on the floor.
Then they all started screaming at once. Several tipped tables over, creating makeshift cover behind the clear glass wall on the street side, some of which was cracked or gone entirely from bullet fire. From there they began flinging cutlery and other improvised weapons at Tesla Squad.
Jarred leapt down from the car bonnet as the goblins returned fire.
"I think you pissed them off!" David shouted, before returning fire.
"No shit!" Jarred said. More cutlery whistled past their ears. Jarred opened fire, a few bursts of semi-automatic fire, before ducking for cover again. He killed one goblin; two down, eight to go. Jess shot a goblin and scored a headshot. She reset and fired again, making sure not to hit the girl. This time she hit a goblin in the shoulder, and the monster twisted around before falling over.
Two goblins were crouched behind the glass panels.
"The glass!" Jarred said to David. David's shotgun sprayed lead into the glass panels, which distracted the goblins and made them jump back in surprise. Jarred and Jessica shot the two goblins as they moved, and those went down too. The rest of the goblins hurled some cutlery at Tesla Squad and ran.
Jarred took deep, steadying breaths to calm his nerves. He was about to say something sharp as he reloaded, when a ringing bell signalled the arrival of a troll riding a little pink bicycle, with a pair of Uzis at his side and a pair of black metal handles protruding from behind his shoulders. Jarred's eyes widened in surprise.
"I Modok, ruler of Rocksmasher clan!" the troll roared. "I eat you now!"
The troll—it looked half-man—kicked the escalator. Nothing happened. He kicked it again. Still nothing. Frustrated, he picked up the bike and then hurled it down the escalators at Tesla Squad, who ducked despite it only hitting the opposite side of the cars and coming to a crashing, ringing stop.
Then the half-troll took out both Uzis and opened fire, the bullets thumping into the car bodies.
"MOVE!" Jarred roared, and threw himself flat against the ground as metal chewed up metal and glass and pounded into the seats of the cars. The others spread out, Sarah going behind cover of a pillar holding up the building on the left, currently frozen in-between businesses. She leaned out the other side of the pillar and fired two arrowsbefore ducking back behind cover. If she hit or if the shots affected the troll, Jarred couldn't tell.
David and Jess ran into the newsagent on the other side of the street, below a fancy hotel and restaurant. Modok rained fire into the newsagent after the two. The bullets deflected off a blue shimmer of energy, but that only enraged Modok, as he concentrated all his firepower on taking down the shield.
Which gave Jarred ample opportunity to attack. He unloaded the rest of the rifle's mag at the troll, the bullets thumping into flesh and spitting bloody dark sprays from the monster's chest.
Modok's guns clicked empty. He threw them down and drew a pair of curved black swords, like you'd fight zombies with, from his back. With a roar he raced down the escalator.
Sarah fired four more shots, and all four of them didn't slow the troll in the slightest. David and Jessica fired into him as well, and only Jess' large-calibre rounds made any difference. Still he advanced.
Bullets weren't working. Jarred figured it was time to try Plan B. Electricity tingled in his veins. He dropped his empty gun and leaped up onto the bonnet of the car. "Oi, troll-face!" he yelled. "Eat lightning!"
Jarred thrust both hands towards the troll and both of them spat electricity with a loud sizzle and a kick. Lightning bolts arced out at the troll and connected, sending him flying backwards trailing little red bits. The troll thumped against the escalator, wheezed, and coughed up blood.
Jarred leapt down from the car and picked up his assault rifle. His head felt a bit woozy; he'd used more power than he meant to, and it cost him.
The troll appeared to be dead. It wasn't moving, at any rate. The others came over to investigate.
"Think he's dead?" David asked.
Jess poked at the body with the arrow-like end of her sniper rifle. "Yeah, pretty dead."
Jarred turned to the girl and produced a knife. Understandably, her eyes widened, she made sounds around the gag, and struggled.
"Hey!" Jarred said. He realised he was holding a knife towards a girl tied up and defenceless, and lowered it. "Hey, please calm down for a bit. I need you to remain still while I cut you down. Can you do that?" The girl, eyes wide and fearful, nodded. Jarred moved closer and took one of the ropes in his left hand, and with his knife-hand carved through the bonds in a few deft slices. The girl's arm fell to her side and he did the same to the other arm. He caught her, but had to let go when she struggled against him.
The girl spun around and found somewhere to go throw up. Jarred took a seat. The girl turned back to him, wiping sick off her mouth.
"Not that I'm ungrateful or anything," she said, voice hoarse, "but why'd you save me?"
Jarred opened his mouth. Then closed it. He figured he should pick his words carefully. "Well," he said, "I guess because I'm just a nice guy who can't stand seeing a girl in trouble or resist the need to rescue her."
"That's it?" she asked, doubt clear in her eyes. "No other reason?"
"No other reason," Jarred said. "You're free to go do as you please."
Suspicion written on her face, the girl hunted around for something. She found it—a black Sanctum travel bag, the letters in red capitals and the 'A' a circle inside a triangle, the symbol of a round door in a mountain—and made to leave. Something stopped her. She turned back to Jarred and the rest, who were busy easing the goblins' passing with their knives and collecting their ears.
"You saved my life, so I feel I owe you. But…"
"…But…?" Jarred echoed.
"Well, actually… I don't have anywhere to go. So… um… could I maybe tag along with you guys for a bit?"
"Huh," Jarred said. "Well, alright I guess. But you gotta earn your way. We don't take in freeloaders."
"You got it." She stuck out her hand, coated in a fingerless glove. "Name's Rachel."
"Jarred." Jarred pointed to Sarah, David and Jess and introduced each in turn. "They call us Tesla Squad. Welcome to Neo-Brisbane."

They are very persuasive and do not accept that I am not interested. They persist, saying "This is a chance of a lifetime." Caller ID on my phone indicates there are 2 phone numbers; reverse look up says they are cell phones from Jamaica. they claimed that this check was ready in Clinton NY with Chase Bank and on nother call the check was at the Bank of America.

Students are not engaged in collaboration learning in the classroom
Learning is Teacher-transmitted and directed
Autonomy, Teacher expects students to follow her rules/ methods of learning
Interaction, Students are distracted in class, Lack of Teacher-Student interaction at the intellectual level
Exploration, No constructivist style questioning, Teacher does not challenge them to think critically or rationalize knowledge given to them
Teacher and students have lack of respect for each other based on their prior experiences and knowledge of each other
Students do not have any reasons to motivate themselves as they don't find any value in doing so
Environmental Factors Affecting Students, Cognitive Load Theory, Teacher does not take into consideration the environment affecting her students cognitive load, Rote Learning, Practice, Teacher offers practice for Annie to do the sums but does not engage the rest of the class in it., Transfer, Minimal transfer in Miss Jia's teaching. Students are forced to just watch and hear to learn., Interference, Teaching a new topic without linking to previous or future topics leads to interference of learning new information., Organisation, Teacher-directed organisation for learning needs to take place. Miss Jia does not do this., Serial Position, Teacher must be aware of serial positioning of key words and elements in the lesson. Miss Jia is only focused on delivering the topic., State Dependence, Teacher needs to relate lessons to real-world contexts to build meaning for the lessons., Level of Processing Effect, Teacher needs to be aware that information needs to be processed at more than one level.
Internal Cognitive Development of Students, Solutions to Cognitive Development, Gagne Phases of Learning, Teacher needs to be aware of the phases of learning to help her students cognitively absorb the lesson., Teacher Directed: Dual Coding Theory, Miss Jia practices this to a certain extent but it is not used effectively., Teacher Directed: Schema Theory, Teacher needs to activate related prior knowledge., Teacher Directed: Bruner Learning Via Insight, Teacher needs to motivate her students to learn the information delivered. ie use of real-world contexts, Teacher Directed: Organisation Strategies, Teacher needs to direct organisation strategies to make the learning easier.
Intrinsic, driven by an interest or enjoyment in the task itself, exists within the individual, high educational achievement and enjoyment by students., Examples, Bandura's work on self-efficacy, Deci and Ryan's cognitive evaluation theory, intrinsically motivated actions as performed out of interest and requiring no external prods, promises or threats, activities are experienced as wholly self-determined, as representative of and emanating from our sense of self, pursue them out of interest when we are free from external pressures, define intrinsic motivation in terms of the presence of subjective perceptions of self-determination rather than in terms of the absence of extrinsic incentives or pressures, if we feel self-determined, then for practical purposes we are self-determined, even if extrinsic incentives are in effect or if our behavior is constrained in various ways., self-determination theory, use of Intrinsic motivational strategies, students value (or can learn to value) participation in the activity itself, teachers should emphasise academic activities that students find inherently interesting and enjoyable, Recommendations for Miss Jia, iii. Modify the design of other learning activities to include features that will enhance the activities' appeal, ii. Plan learning activities that students are likely to find enjoyable or intrinsically rewarding, i. Use classroom management and teaching styles that address students' needs for autonomy, competence and relatedness
Extrinsic, comes from outside of the individual, Rewards, grades, Use of rewards to motivate students, effects of rewards dependent on what rewards are used and how they are presented, Decreases in performance and intrinsic motivation most likely when rewards have the following characteristics, Unusual/unnatural, Noncontingency, High salience, can be given for, engagement dependent, completion dependent, performance dependent, effects, does it lead to immediate task effort or performance, more effective for increasing the intensity or duration of effort, changes in attitudes towards the task ?, support learning more effectively when there is a clear goal and a clear strategy to follow, changes in subsequent intrinsic motivation to perform the task voluntarily when future opportunities arise?, strong negative effects on subsequent intrinsic motivation to engage in interesting tasks, significant effects in subsequent intrinsic motivation to engage in uninteresting tasks, better tasks where steady performance or quantity of output is of more concern than creativity, artistry or craftsmanship, better with specific intentional learning tasks than with incidental learning or discovery tasks, can act as motivators only for those students who believe that they have a chance to get the rewards if they put reasonable effort, praise/positive feedback, decreased intrinsic motivation when they were primarily controlling, enhanced intrinsic motivation when they were primarily informational, Case of Miss Jia, better to offer rewards to students as incentives for meeting performance improvement standards on skills that require a great deal of drill and practice than it is for work on a major research or demonstration project., rewards may be needed to motivate sustained effort., Definitely not for long term, rewards will be helpful when the initial level of interest in the activity is low, its value becomes apparent only through engaging in it for a long time, New node, only after the learner has reached a critical level of mastery., performed instrumentally to attain some separate consequence, would not occur spontaneously, must be prompted by incentives or other external pressures
Extrinsic, Reinforcement & Extinction
Intrinsic, Operant Conditioning, New node
Self-Efficacy (Stipek), Low, Preferential treatment to students, Explicitly informs class that she wishes all of them were like Annie, Insists that John was cheating though he said he did not, Feels ill-equipped in skills and does not perform well, Does not explain to Minah the rationale behind the math problem. Discouraged her from developing an inquiring mind, Unwilling to try out new teaching methods, High, Ensure every student is involved in the lesson, Willing to try out new teaching methods, Results in self-fulfilling prophecy, Students behave in a manner that the teacher expects them to behave
Solution: Develop good rapport with the students

Chapter 3Mature
The oak door opened slowly and creaked on its hinges. One of the Queen's handmaidens walked in with a jug of wine and some lemon cake. The handmaiden sat it on the table next to the Queen's bed. "You're grace, I wasn't expecting you to be up yet." the handmaiden said.
The Queen stood at her windowsill, looking out upon her city. She turned around, acknowleding her prescence. "Lyla, a raven came in last night annoucning the victory at the Crest. My husbad, your King is returning home and will arrive at Esses in the next few hours. I think we should get me dressed." the Queen said with a smile on her face.
Lyla clapped her hands together in excitement. "Your grace, this is wonderful news! The people shall be delighted to hear of such news!"
Maven poured a goblet of wine and lifted it to her lips. "Lyla, fetch another goblet." The handmaiden looked at her. "Why, your grace?" Lyla had a look of confusion on her face. The Queen smiled and replied, "I want you to drink with me. Drink with me in this merriment." Lyla left the room, trying to hide her excitment. It wasn't everyday that the Queen herself asked you to drink with her.
While Lyla was away, the Queen recieved another visitor. The man kneeled in front of the Queen. "Your grace." He said.
Maven turned around from her wardrobe and smiled. "Kyro. I wasn't expecting you. Tell me, why do you call on me so early in the morning?" She motioned for Kyro to come closer.
Kyro greeted her with a kiss on hand and then a kiss on the lips. "Your grace, you look quite stunning." He laughed.
"You humor me Kyro." Maven said smiling as she went to cut some of the lemon cake. "Would you like some?" She didn't even let him answer before she cut him a slice. "Now, answer me. Why do you call upon me at this hour?"
"Your grace, with your husband returning home, I am afraid we will not be able to see each other again. At least not here. Even then, meeting here is very dangerous, with all the spies and what not. It's just, I love you Maven. I really do. I still want to see you and all your beauty." Kyro pleaded.
Maven frowned a bit and then pondered on the situation. "Kyro, there is always a way. I have a plan, don't worry. Just be at the feast tonight. Here, let me give you and invitation so the guards don't think you're sneaking in. Oh, and one other thing." Maven said as she walked over to her wardrobe.
Maven dropped a vial into Kyro's hand. "Here, take this."
Kyro stared at the crystal vial which appeared to have a clear substance in it. "What is this, your grace?"
"It's the way."

The students at the Pettis County Early Childhood Cooperative had some special visitors Monday.
Capt. Barry White and Firefighters Bill Twenter, John Clarke and Larry Newbill of the Sedalia Fire Department spoke to the students about fire safety and prevention, even allowing the students to sit in a fire truck and giving them firefighter badge stickers and hats.
Many of the children may have gone home dreaming of becoming a firefighter.
That wasn't Newbill's dream when he was a little boy — like many others he dreamed of becoming a Major League Baseball player; a firefighter was perhaps his second choice.
"When I was young I wanted to play baseball," Newbill said. "I was so serious about it that I tried out at the Kansas City Baseball Academy in 1971.
"I tried out as a pitcher," he added. "But it didn't work out."
Newbill said sometimes that is what happens in life and although he didn't get to play for the Royals, he is happy with the direction his life took.
"The fire department and the City of Sedalia have been very good to me," Newbill said. "If I didn't like what I was doing I wouldn't have stayed at it for 42 years.
"The best thing has been the people, like today getting to work with the little ones here at the school, I enjoy things like this," he added. "All the people I have worked with at the department and the people with the city over the years … it's been good."
Newbill has reason to think of the people he has met as he reflects on his time with the department. After more than 42 years of service, Newbill is retiring next year.
"By working for the department all these years they helped me to start my own business," Newbill said. "I own Wax-a-Car, a car detailing business on North Ohio (Avenue).
"I've had it for 32 years and that's what I do for enjoyment and relaxation," he said. "I'm looking forward to spending time there and spending more time with my wife and family."
He added that it will be nice not having to get up in the middle of the night to answer a call.
Getting used to not having 24-hour shifts one day and then two days off may take a little getting used to as well.
The veteran firefighter said he had many memories of his years of service adding that the Thanksgiving Day fire in 2015 was perhaps the worst fire he had witnessed first-hand, as well as memories of his baseball tryout 45 years ago.
"I'm about the only one that I know of from Sedalia who tried out at the baseball academy in Kansas City," Newbill said. "I got to tryout and play with people like Frank White and U.L. Washington.
"It's pretty neat, I mean how many people can say that they got to tryout and play on the field in Kansas City," he added. "I have no regrets though with the way things turned out; it's been a real good life."

Ratings for Dr. Columbus Brown
If you are 15 minutes late to your appointment, you have to reschedule, yet the wait time in the front waiting room is 2 plus hours, sometimes more. After getting into a room, another wait time of at least 30 minutes. All that waiting, only to see him for 5-10 minutes.
Dr. Brown is simply the Best! I have been a patient since 2004. Great listener & genuinely concerned about your health and well-being! Great Staff also!!
Wonderful doctor, very knowledgeable. Never had a doctor show so much concern.
Professional, Caring, Knowledgeable, Exceptional Staff
Dr. Brown looked at my overall medical history/problems, rather than just the one health issue that I am currently experiencing. I am glad I was referred to him. I could tell he really cared about me, he even noticed during the time we were talking that my pain level was increasing. He expressed concern and said he could tell by my face that I was in more pain. He asked if there was anything he could do and if I would be ok. He made sure I had someone to drive me home. I don't think I have ever had a doctor express so much concern and take time to really focus on me before rushing out to see the next patient. I have already recommended him to several friends and family. I hope he continues to offer this quality of care and that other doctors follow his example.
Dr Brown in kind and a good listener, great staff and never wait more than 5 min.

Jyotiba Phulenagar, Nov 21 (UNI) A college principal was today shot dead, while another teacher was severely injured, following a dispute over promotion of a fourth class employee in Amroha town of the district.
J S Hindu Inter College principal Dr Radheyshyam Tapan (55) had promoted peon Ravi Prakash Shukla as clerk two years ago, police said.
Few days ago, Ravi was again demoted as peon, owing to which, he and another employee Sushil Kumar, shot at the principal and a teacher Ali Naqvi inside the college precincts.

FIFA president Sepp Blatter has revealed he will not stand for a fifth term as long as there is a suitable candidate to replace him. Blatter, whose current mandate ends in 2015, has a vision to expand the game further and should he decide to quit both Michel Platini and Angel Villar are thought to be best placed to take over his role. The 77-year-old was elected president of soccer's world governing body in 1998 and has until now consistently refused to rule out standing in two years as long as his health permits. "I will not carry on as long as there is at least one candidate prepared to continue my work," Blatter said. "The most important thing for me is that the person who takes over FIFA does so with the spirit of globalisation of soccer that we have developed in recent years. "Michel Platini could be a possible successor as we started together in 1998. "On the other side is Angel Villar who has had a long career and has good contacts in America and Africa and who would al...

This monday 5/22/17 at 1pm EST, Drawn + Drafted will be hosting a live conversation with our fearless leader, Dan Dos Santos! It's free, and you can pre-register now at Crowdcast, where you can post questions in advance, or vote up questions already posted.
So what's a "ProjectCast" you might ask? Well, there's lots of fantastic art podcasts out there, but at Drawn + Drafted we're focused on business and getting projects off the ground. We love passion projects and want to know how people (all kinds of creatives, not just illustrators) take a passion and turn it into a side hustle, and even into a full time business. So each Project Podcast will be centered around not only the creative's work, but specifically drilling into projects they've created and made real in the world. We get into the details people tend to gloss over, like mental health, finances, networking, marketing, and proposals.
We're recording them live on Crowdcast so the audience can interact and ask questions, and you can go back and watch the previous Projectcasts there. We're going to be editing them down into a traditional podcast format, but for now check them out on Crowdcast:


text: LITTLETON, Colo., Sept. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- American Eagle Energy Corporation (OTCQX: AMZG; "American Eagle" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on its oil and gas reserves and additional well results for its Spyglass Project in Divide County, North Dakota. American Eagle commissioned a third-party consulting firm to perform a mid-year reserve update for the Spyglass Project in order to assess the impact of the high level of field development work in the area during the first half of 2012. A total of five company-operated wells with an average working interest of 36% have been put on production thus far in 2012. The Company has also participated in thirteen outside-operated wells with an average working interest of 7% during the first eight months of 2012. All of these wells have been successfully completed for production with average initial production rates typically ranging from 450 to 600 barrels of oil per day. This drilling has confirmed an additional 17,000 gross acres in the Spyglass project as productive. The 2012 development work has resulted in an approximate tenfold increase in company net reserves to a total proved developed reserve of 1,126,000 barrels of oil and 514,000 MCF of gas. These estimated proved developed reserves represent a discounted present value at 10% (PV10) of approximately $39 million. Proved undeveloped reserves associated with the program have been estimated at 2,813,000 barrels of oil and 1,382,000 MCF of gas with PV10 value of approximately $71 million net to American Eagle. Thus, total proved reserves in the Spyglass project as of September 1, 2012 are 3,939,000 barrels oil and 1,896,000 MCF gas with a PV10 value of approximately $110 million. Additional net reserves to the Company in the Probable and Possible categories total approximately 1,253,000 barrels of oil and 627,000 MCF of gas with an estimated PV10 value of approaching $26 million. American Eagle continues to execute its 2012 drilling program with the drilling and casing of its first Middle Bakken well in the area at the Silas 3-2N. The drilling rig was then skidded on that location and is currently drilling the vertical section of the Haagensen 3-2 well, which is the first infill Three Forks Formation well and located between the Cody 15-11 and Coplan 1-3 producers. The Silas 3-2N and Haagenson 3-2 wells are scheduled to be fracture stimulated and put on production in late October.

Watch Out for Mouse Traps and Mouth Traps (4 of 5) by Steve Wagers
This content is part of a series.Watch Out for Mouse Traps and Mouth Traps (4 of 5)
Series: Proven Precepts from Proverbs
Steve N. Wagers
April 26, 2006
Sermon Outline
1. We Must Watch Out for Where We Step!
A) The Selfish Ways We Should Denounce
B) The Sovereign Ways We Should Desire
2. We Must Watch Out in What We Say!
A) The Power our Words Contain
1. The Beauty of a Gracious Word
2. The Burden of a Grievous Word
B) The Problems our Words Create
A parrot was in a pet shop with a string attached to each leg when a man walked in looking to buy a pet. A shopkeeper came over and started to try and sell him a dog when the man noticed the parrot. He asked what the strings were for and the shopkeeper replied, "Well, if you pull the right string the parrot says, 'Polly wanna cracker'. If you pull the left string it says, 'my name's Sam' ". The man being of the inquisitive nature, couldn't resist, so he asked what would happen if he pulled both strings, the parrot piped up, "I'd fall off the perch you idiot!!!"
I read the other day of 11 people who were hanging onto a rope dangling from a helicopter. Ten were men and one was a woman. They all decided that one person should get off because if someone didn't, the rope would break and everyone would die.
No one could decide who would go, so finally the woman gave a really touching speech, saying she would give up her life to save the others, because women were used to sacrifice for their husbands and children, giving to men, and not receiving anything in return. When she finished speaking all the men applauded.
The book of Proverbs is filled with road signs and traffic lights to help us to be on the look-out, and watch out for the traps of life. In fact, as we embark on tonight's study, Solomon has 2 traps in mind. He admonishes us to watch out for mouse traps and mouth traps.
1. We Must Watch Out for WHERE We STEP!
No less than 105 times Solomon uses the word "ways" to serve as a caution to watch out for wher ...

How to Be a Servant at Heart (17 of 35) by John Barnett
This content is part of a series.How to Be a Servant at Heart (17 of 35)
Series: Delights of a Word-Filled Marriage
John Barnett
Praying for Servant-Heartedness
May I give you a little quiz this morning?
• Jesus said, I did not come to be served but to ______. (serve)
• And the last shall be ______ (first).
• I did not come to do my own ____ (will).
The greatest goal we have spiritually as parents is to raise children that are useful to God. Usefulness in Christ's kingdom is defined by one very precious quality – SERVANTHOOD. The words servants and servants and bondservants are used over 1000 times in the New Testament. That is about once every seven verses. That is very frequent! We are to be Christ's servants, and He is called a servant.
• Acts 3:13 The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let Him go.
• Acts 3:26 To you first, God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities."
• Acts 4:27 "For truly against Your holy Servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together
• Acts 4:30 by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus."
• Revelation 22:3 And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him.
It has been estimated by historians that at the time of Paul there were as many as 60 million slaves owned by masters in the Roman Empire. So slaves and slavery were well known themes to the New Testament world. That is why Paul's testimony to the church at Corinth is so powerful. They knew what he meant when he declared that he and his companions wanted to be regarded as "servants". Let's turn to ...

Green SchoolsGo Back to Projects List
University Hills Elementary
Rochester Hills, Michigan
University Hills is a K-5 public school located in southeastern Michigan. Our 400+ students supply our school with a rich blend of economic and cultural diversity. Our students come from households where 16+ different languages are spoken and our school is home to the district's ESL program. Because of this program, our school is a magnet for non-native speakers who add an enriching international element to our school environment. Our students are able to enhance their everyday learning experience with personal, international connections. Our school values the importance of balancing our appreciation of our local place on the planet with the responsibilities of being global citizens.
Our environmental goals include fostering a sense of wonder and love of the natural world for it is when a child learns to love nature that he will learn to be concerned about the well being of the environment. We intend to partner with a student organic farm organization from a nearby university to create several raised bed vegetable gardens to offer all of our students the opportunity to be engaged in growing food. We have a prolific apple tree on the school grounds from which apples will be harvested and pressed into cider annually. Maple trees will be tapped in the spring and the students will participate in making syrup. Gardens surrounding the school will be given a new purpose. In addition to providing beauty, they will be transformed into places that provide information about native plants and Michigan geography. Identification stations will allow the students to interact and learn about how the plants are connected to all living things in our school surroundings. There will be an emphasis on our place on the planet in southeastern Michigan and also a celebration of collaboration with master gardeners, college students and others in our extended community.

Chapter Six: Escape
They didn't last long before they were all asleep. Pretending everything was normal could only last so long. Kelsie was the last to sleep, staring into the darkness of Eden. She feared sleep. When she was awake she could laugh off the experiments the scientists did on her.
But when she slept she couldn't hide. The dreams tormented her, reminding her of the horrors of the daytime. She was so used to the dreams now she didn't scream. She knew they were waiting for her.
When she finally slept the only outward sign of distress was the tossing and turning Kelsie did, throwing off the blanket she slept under.
She awoke to someone shaking her shoulder. 'What?' She was sitting bolt upright and alert.
'It's just me.' Syranna was kneeling next to her, a concerned look on her face.
'What is it? Has something happened?' Syranna shook her head.
'Nothing has happened as such...' She looked like she was hiding something and Syranna wouldn't have woken Kelsie up for nothing so she pushed further.
'What is it then Syranna?'
'It was a dream.' Kelsie knew exactly what Syranna meant and immediately woke the others. Aaron was the hardest to get up.
'Get off I'm trying to sleep.' He rolled over and stuck his fingers in his ears. Kel started to get annoyed and kicked him gently in the side. 'Ow! What did you do that for?'
'To get you up. Now come over here, Syranna's had another dream.' That got Aaron out of bed and Faelan was already sitting in a corner with Syranna.
'So what happened in your dream this time?' Kel sat eagerly waiting for the answer.
'Well. I dreamt we escaped.' There was a moment of silence before she continued. 'We were leaving the unit for good and we weren't going to come back. But I don't want you to get your hopes up,' she quickly back tracked. 'It might not be true.'
'But what if it is?' Kelsie breathed. 'Freedom.'

|Minutes: JDO TCK Conference Call Friday, Oct 14, 9 am PDT
|Sat, 15 Oct 2005 16:33:33 GMT
Attendees: Michelle Caisse, Martin Zaun, Michael Bouschen, Michael Watzek, Craig Russell 1. Test status (Michael W) 6 configurations of 28 fail; Alltests status: 405 tests; 8 failures; 15 errors. 2. Query tests (Michael W) Patches for 156, 157, 158, 159 and 168 have been reviewed and the infrastructure has been checked in. Patches need to be reviewed for 162 language changes. Bugs have been filed for JPOX issues encountered. 3. ri11 enhancer support for jdk 1.5 (Martin) Model issues: can PC classes be loaded by the bootstrap class loader? Yes. Can PC classes be looked up by "any" model or only the model associated with the class loader of the class? General agreement that yes, this should be done. Implications for the public model accessors. AI: Michael will work on the fix. JDK 1.5 support: Test classes currently do not use 1.5 features but can be compiled with -target 1.5 and they work with ri11. When compiling with -source 1.5 there are some issues. AI: Martin will start a Wiki page with 1.5 issues, to be linked by the web site. Many 1.5 features work, such as auto-boxing and foreach. Still some issues with signatures (overlaid generic type system). 4. JPOX fixes/issues (Erik) no status update, although good progress is being made. Question on how to file/resolve JPOX issues. Should we have a separate category in the Apache JDO JIRA for JPOX issues? Currently we file them under the tck20 category. Craig opines that this is working well, especially considering that in the early stages of a bug we don't really know whether it is a tck bug or a JPOX bug. Suggestions can be sent to the jdo-dev alias. 5. Fieldtypes test status (Michelle) Mostly done except for Map types; AI: everyone review the CollectionMapping wiki that Michelle sent out. AI: Michelle distill the mapping support that JPOX has into a list of features that are/are not not supported. AI: Craig discuss mapping options with expert group. 6. Javadoc on web site (Craig) Ready for testing. Includes a disclaimer that Apache JDO is incubating before you can access the javadoc. Now includes downloadable .zip containing the javadoc so you can either browse online or download. 7. Push jars to Apache repository (Craig) In progress. Several things need to be updated, including project.properties, project.xml and maven.xml. 8. Named queries in metadata. Element query unique and result-class. Should we have tests? No. 9. API20 is missing setRange(String). AI: Craig update the api project. Do it soon. JIRA issue JDO-181. Action Items from weeks past: [Sep 2 2005]: To recruit members, update the web site. Articles on TheServerSide directing attention to the site. T-shirts, logo. AI: Craig write a ServerSide article. [Aug 12 2005] AI: Craig to propose release of API20 and the entire 11 release (API, RI, TCK). This generated a large response on the incubator alias. [Aug 5 2005] AI Brian McCallister can send info on the instructions how to sync Apache and ibiblio. Re: Brian Topping needs info on creating a maven package. [July 29 2005] AI: Michelle Chapter 18 wiki needs to be updated to include all JDO metadata elements and attributes. [not done] [July 29 2005] (Craig, Brian T.) Need some permissions that Brian is working on. [Jul 8] Double-check locking in the PMF (Martin) Martin has implemented and will check in. [April 15 2005] AI Brian Topping will update the wiki to tell how to access our releases area. [April 15 2005] AI Brian Topping will do the maven goal for creating and uploading the snapshots. He will create a directory parallel to trunk called "releases" and put the snapshots there. [May 13 2005] AI Brian Topping will implement pushing SNAPSHOT builds of the project to ibiblio. [May 13 2005] AI Brian Topping will arrange for automated nightly builds. [May 13 2005] AI Martin Zaun will investigate JSR 294 (Java 5) to see impact on enhancer. [May 20 2005] AI Craig to define the JCP distributions and see if maven can help. -- Michelle
