Peer Review Process
Guide for Authors
Papers of research reports and articles with scientific merit will be judged for publication under careful consideration from reviewers. Such research reports and articles include those containing substantial supported theories, innovative works, substantial experimental results and/or containing useful and constructive discussions or reviews standardized to regional or international acceptance. The editor reserves the right to recommend for revision as a condition for final acceptance.
Manuscripts are to be reviewed by 2-4 referees specializing in related fields. This journal has adopted a double-blind reviewing policy whereby both the referees and author(s) remain anonymous throughout the process. Therefore, the name and affiliation of the author(s) should not be included in the manuscript. After the reviewing process, suggestions and comments from the reviewers will be summarized before passing them to authors. In submitting the manuscript, the author(s) transfers the copyrights to TIJSAT, but still accepts any legal consequence for having the paper published.
Manuscripts should be submitted as an attached word and pdf file through http://tujournals.tu.ac.th/tijsat/
Manuscript Preparation Guide
Text Format
The manuscript should be prepared using a text processing software such as Microsoft Word for Windows. A4 size paper is recommended. Page layout margins should be as follows: top 3.0 cm, bottom 2.8 cm, left 2.5 cm, right 2.5 cm.
There should be 2 sections. The first section is in a single column format. The second is formatted as two 7.6 cm-wide columns per page with a section separation of 0.8 cm. Title, author, co-authors, address for correspondence and abstract are included in the first section while the remainder of the paper is to appear in the second section.
Manuscript components
1. Title should be concise, specific, and informative. It should be located in the middle of the page.
2. The abstract should summarize the manuscript contents and should contain no more than 250 words. It should be justified to both margins. The word "ABSTRACT" should be capitalized.
3. Keywords relevant to the work presented in the manuscript should be listed below the abstract. Three to five key words should be provided.
Font, Font Size & Typeface
Times New Roman font type is recommended. Font size (in Pica) and typeface for various text functions are tabulated as follows:

English Manuscript
Font = Times New Roman
Pica Size ++

Abstract heading
Bold, Capital
Abstract & main texts
Section heading & number +

+ Including "Abstract" "Acknowledgement" and "References"
++ CT = Centre text, LJ = Left Justified, LRJ = Left & right justified
Line Art Figures
Can be drawn using several packages such as Win Draw, Auto CAD®, Corel Draw®, VISIO® etc.
Original photographs should be clear with highest resolution and are appropriately inserted along the text.
Several modern packages can produce nice-looking and professional graph presentation. Some also provide curve-fitting functions which are quite useful.
Equations & Complex Expressions
Always take time not only in typing but to manage this task. Math CAD, Math Writer, and Equation Editor (included in Microsoft Word) are considerably good. The manuscript should also be prepared using single space typing or it can be 1 12 spaces if the font type is Times New Roman.
All papers must contain an abstract and keywords at its end. Regular papers may be divided into Introduction, Materials and Methods, and Results and Discussion sections, while short reports should not. Acknowledgments should be as brief as possible, in a separate section before the references. References should be numbered sequentially and these numbers should appear in brackets in the text. Book references should include author(s), title, publisher, location and year of publication. Journal references should contain author(s), title, journal name, volume, issue number, referred page number(s) and year of publication. Examples are as follow:

- STEP 1: Browse through the online store and find the item you want to purchase. Once you found it, making sure it fits all your requirements, just add it to your shopping cart. Also, make sure that the item is eligible for the application of the discount code, because some offers of homeclick.com may not be cumulated. In case the product is precisely what you need and there are no issues with using the promo code for purchasing it, proceed towards closing the purchasing process.
- STEP 2: With the item in your shopping cart, you will have to go through the checkout procedures of homeclick.com. Go carefully through every page of this process, to make sure that all the information needed to making the payment and shipment is correct. Also, look for a particular field on one of the pages that requires the introduction of the promo code. You will have to be careful and find it yourself, because the store will not announce you whether you forgot or not to introduce the code, as not all buyers have it. Thus, look thoroughly through each page until you find this particular section.
- STEP 3: Take a final look through the shopping cart before giving your last accept, making sure that the code was properly introduced for the product you want to purchase. You should be able to see the discount applied on the final price you'll have to pay. If you cannot see the discount applied on the final sum, you will have to go back and go through the steps of the checkout process once more. There may have been something you did not do right. But, in case everything is in order, you got the product you wanted, you can see that the HomeClick promo code was applied on your order, all you have to do is close the purchase, by making the final checkout.

This Queso Fundido dip is gooey, melty and delicious. Crumbled goat cheese takes this easy-to-make dip to the next level!
What could be better than a warm pool of cheese? Not a lot of things come to mind! Wait! Let me think…. nope! I got nothing!
This month is my momma's birthday! Seems to me that since it's right after the holidays she always gets the short end of the birthday celebration stick (I mean didn't we just give you presents and celebrated the holidays for like 2 weeks straight??)
So this year I decided that instead of having a birthday "day", we would celebrate her all month! After all, she is pretty amazing and we love hanging out with her.
We started the birthday month extravaganza with a casual get together. The star of the party (besides my mom) was warm and gooey Queso Fundido Dip. My mom loves cheese to the point she is kind of a cheese expert. There's no way I was just going to melt one type of cheese and call it a day. This dip needed to be special, rich and decadent!
The addition of goat cheese took this dip to unbelievably delicious status! Instead of buying crumbled goat cheese (which sometimes seems like a bit of a dry afterthought), I bought a log and crumbled it myself, adding small and big chunks to the melted Monterey Jack cheese and giving it a quick stir made all the difference. Every bite seemed to have a different surprise, little goat cheese flavor, bold goat cheese flavor, some areas were creamier than others…. just amazing!
So after I pulled the Queso Fundido Dip out of the oven, I told my mom "look what I made for you!!!" She was quick to grab a chip but of course I shouted "wait!!! Can we take a photo for the blog?" "Of course" she said!
After a couple of shots, she was once again ready to dig in! "Mom! – I said, "could you please try to dip a chip so I can take a photo?" "But wait!! – don't eat it yet! We need a second photo!"….. She was my hand model for the day! Of course after I said, "I think I have enough. Let's eat!" The entire family was all over the dip like vultures! (that includes me).
Kathy's Notes
- I'm providing instruction for baking and broiling the dip. Choose whichever method that makes you feel most comfortable. If you use the broiler, keep an eye on the dip as it broils. It gets golden brown pretty fast!
- After you add the goat cheese, do not over mix. One very quick gentle stir is all you need.
- I used chopped roasted mild canned jalapenos. I chose mild because my mom and my littlest are not big fans of burn-in-your-mouth chile heat.
This Queso Fundido dip is gooey, melty and delicious. Crumbled goat cheese takes this easy-to-make dip to the next level!
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
12 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
¼ teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 – 2 tablespoons chopped roasted jalapenos
4 ounces goat cheese
Chopped cilantro for garnish
Tortilla Chips to serve
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit OR preheat the broiler
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for about one minute. Whisk in the milk and cook for about 3 minutes or until slightly thickened. Remove from the heat and immediately add the shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Mix and season with salt and pepper. Add the chopped roasted jalapenos. Crumble the goat cheese on top and mix it gently. Don't over mix.
Pour the cheese mixture in an 8-inch cast iron pan or baking dish.
If Baking: Place the pan in the preheated 400 degrees oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the top starts to get golden brown
If Broiling: Put the pan under the broiler and broil until the top is golden brown. Watch it! It won't take long!!
Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve hot with tortilla chips for dipping.

Homeless suspect sought MPs' help
Russell John Tully has a chequered history including homelessness, illness, a broken marriage, an interest in hunting and firearms, and an obsession with an exotic philosophy.
Tully was worried about his lack of housing and in recent weeks he resorted to camping in a tent by the Ashburton River and had also been living under the bridge at times, locals say.
He fell out with a flatmate shortly after moving back to Ashburton.
He was born in Ashburton in 1966 to a nurse and a farmhand.
He recently spoke of his frustration about the lack of accommodation in Ashburton and took his case to political figures including Rangitata MP Jo Goodhew and NZ First MP Winston Peters as well as Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay.
He found temporary accommodation through Presbyterian Support but that lasted only four nights. Presbyterian Support Ashburton manager Jackie Girvan said Tully appeared desperate and frustrated.
Girvan said social and private housing options in the town were limited.
Tully believed Work and Income and other government agencies wanted him to leave Ashburton and move to Timaru or Christchurch.
Suffering a skin condition and a lower back injury, Tully was on a disability benefit and said his doctor recommended he stay somewhere warm and dry.
Last month, Tully pitched his tent in the Ashburton Domain "as a protest" but he was soon moved on after complaints.
He then lived in his car until he sold it for cash and moved to the riverbed.
He said he was frustrated a Housing New Zealand property in Ashburton was unoccupied when he was homeless.
He had approached the property's neighbours and was told no-one had lived there for 14 months, but Housing NZ reportedly claimed it was tenanted.
NZ First leader Winston Peters said he was contacted by Tully on August 14 by email but replies kept bouncing back.
He said Tully wrote about the difficulty of getting a house to live in and Rangitata MP Jo Goodhew had not helped him.
An email shows he also wrote to the offices of the Speaker, and Cabinet ministers Gerry Brownlee and Paula Bennett, among others.
Family in Christchurch refused to speak to The Press.
Former Picton man Chris Brooks, who lives on the West Coast, went to school with Tully's ex-wife. He met Tully about 10 years ago when they both lived in Marlborough. When Tully and his wife separated, Tully asked Brooks if he could stay at his house while he sorted himself out.
It was after he read the book The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield that he started to go downhill, Brooks said.
The book discusses various psychological and spiritual ideas that are rooted in many ancient Eastern traditions.
"He got into that book.
"He started preaching about the prophecy and how we were all living our lives wrong."
Brooks asked him to leave after about three months because it was not working out, he said.
He had not seen Tully in more than four years.

Get us proof of your best remittance rate and we'll better it read more...
The foreign exchange market in India has been fairly disorganized, due to which there are wide fluctuations in forex rates and there is no uniformity regarding forex products and regulation. Mr. Sudarshan Motwani, who has headed the foreign exchange function at some of the leading Indian Banks, established BookMyForex in 2012 to address these issues and streamline the forex business in the country.
US Dollar exchange rates today in Ludhiana are not really easy to find on any website. It is only BookMyForex that now provides live and real time US Dollar exchange rates today in Ludhiana. BookMyForex also allows you to lock-in the live US Dollar exchange rates today in Ludhiana to exchange currency. Most websites and currency exchangers provide only the base rate/ interbank rate as ?today?s USD rate in Ludhiana?, which is not really the rate at which currency is exchanged. Through the practice of ?today?s USD rate in Ludhiana? the rates actually charged by other currency exchangers are much higher since they have to cushion themselves against losses on account of currency fluctuation, since like any other financial security the US Dollars are traded electronically worldwide. So the concept of ?today?s USD rate in Ludhiana? is in reality just a farce and a means to exploit the customers. Unfortunately it also is a standard practice in the market.
The Company?s offerings of forex and related services are already available across the country and include currency exchange, USD currency notes, USD forex cards, USD traveler?s cheques or remittance products such as USD demand drafts and USD wire transfers.Orders are delivered at our own branches or at the branches of ING Vysya bank and Axis bank, our banking partners in India.

All the Rage with Paul LePage: LePage Threatens to Ban Nips
by Andy O'Brien
Thursday, May 18, 2017 2:42 PM
Gov. Paul LePage says he'll ban 50-milliliter liquor bottles if the Legislature passes a law to place a 15-cent deposit on them. In initial votes last week, the Maine House and Senate voted 111 to 34 and 32 to 3 to require retailers to collect deposits on the little bottles known as "nips." Sen. Tom Saviello (R-Wilton), who chairs the committee that endorsed the bill, says it will help stop the proliferation of empty nip containers littering the side of the road.
But on Tuesday night, the governor fired off a press release blasting Saviello for increasing costs on the state and businesses.
"Senator Saviello said he would call my bluff that I would delist 50-milliliter 'nip' bottles if this bill passes. A Maine legislator should know better than that," wrote LePage. "If this bill is passed, I will veto the bill, and I will instruct the Bureau of Alcoholic Beverages & Lottery Operations to begin working immediately with the Liquor and Lottery Commission to delist all nips from sale in Maine. I do so with regret, but the severe impact of this bill leaves me no choice."
Rep. Stanley Paige Zeigler (D-Montville), who sits on the committee that passed the bill, said that the measure only raises the price of a nip by a few cents. "I have no idea why the governor is threatening to delist except that it appears to be a personal clash with Senator Saviello," he wrote in an email. "This bill does nothing to restrict business in our state but helps keep our roads clean. If you want me to try to explain or understand the governor's actions, I am unable."
The governor added that "delisting nips will ensure that they are not sold in Maine, and fewer of them end up as litter." Not to mention a potential reduction in the number of people drinking and driving, which appears to be lost in the whole debate.

Dust Barriers: Leave Your Work Site Clean
01 Apr 2014
A happy client is a client that gives referrals. As a home remodeler, you know that one of your client's chief concerns is cleanliness. No one likes to come home to a house covered in dust. But, in home remodeling, dust is part of the process. But you can help cut down on dust in your client's home with plastic dust barriers.
Remodeling magazines and contractors have been saying that home remodeling projects are increasing. Take advantage by getting more referrals from your existing clientele. Plastic dust shields, construction film, and plastic floor protection help keep the house around the remodeling project dust-free.
Dust barriers or construction film are perfect for those contractors who are interested in keeping their customers' homes as clean and as dust-free as possible. Everyone knows that dust is a problem when remodeling. But keeping your customers happy – and their homes clean - is very important for repeat and referral business. Contain dusty areas as much possible with construction film and dust barriers.
Dust control products include temporary barrier systems, plastic sheeting, and floor coverings. Contractors who use dust control supplies keep their clients happy and cut down on labor costs for cleanup. This is a great way to increase customer satisfaction and referrals.

Julian Assange "Interview Sean Hannity" in London 1/3/17 (Full Video)
this man risked his own life, his freedom and his family's in the name of truth, and Hillary and obummer want him dead, whistleblowers instead of being praised, are being demonized.
Obama just said that he could have won the 3rd term if he was the candidate This implies that he is (subconsciously) blaming Hillary (the candidate) and NOT Russian hacking for their election loss. Russia did not influence the election. Wikileaks Julian Assange already said Russia was 100% not the source of their DNC and Podesta emails Don't let DEM and MSM Lies take root.
The evil embedded in Washington, including puppet Obama and his handlers, must be ferreted out and jailed for treason against our country. Truth is truth, and facts are facts. It is clear that Obama and the complicit fools working with him to undermine our country will never stop unless they are jailed. Why are they not already jailed? Screams to the treasonous evil deeply embedded in Our dear Country.

Don't We Think Our Parents Did their Best?
Don't We Think Our Parents Did their Best?
Kids nowadays got no respect.
They're out there right now, whining about their pasts and blaming their parents, like their parents were supposed to know better or something, telling their own kids what brutes their parents were, while condescending to these poor, just started walking upright past generations that they 'did the best they could,' or 'the best they knew.'
In past generations, my 'no-punishment' talk might have at least found an argument. The older generations at least knew that they were punishing, and they knew it was a practice that could be attacked and/or defended. But these kids now, trying to raise their own? You can't talk them out of something they don't even know they're doing. These nampy-pamby modern young parents think they can get it all their own way without corporal punishment, without getting physical on their kids – which means when these too-nice parents do get it all their way through intimidation and threats and having shown the kid who's boss while he's a baby and can't tell anyone, as well as by occasional violent outbursts, that no-one's allowed to realize it because 'We are not a Family that uses Corporal Punishment.' That is the difference between the honest corporal punishers of the past and a whole lot of the 'non-spanking' parents that were the children of the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s.
Don't get me wrong – these are the gentler of these children with children! Many still just spank – but they still mostly think they're nicer than the old folks were, and maybe so. Maybe so, but the first group mentioned above, they tried to make a real change in principle, at least in their minds if many perhaps failed in practice, but the others? It's not even a philosophical split. For the ones who are staying the course with parental authority and physical methods, it is only a matter of degree, what the old folks got wrong. They just took things too far.
So here's the insolence, the lack of respect.
What did the previous generation, the children with grandchildren fail at? Were these knuckle-dragging forefathers simply incapable of controlling themselves once they started with the whoopin', is that the theoretical basis for the 'took it too far' theory? Perhaps it was something they thought instead. Maybe they simply held with stronger deterrents and stronger penalties than we do today, or they had a longer list of punishable offenses., so the difference is perhaps not that the beast remained so strong in our parents and grandparents that they were simply more impulsively violent, but that they were more institutionally violent, that it was not accidental, but a belief driving the action. If that's closer to the mark . . .
Then what did they fail at?
Strictness level too high, penalties too harsh? So this generation has the dial in just the right spot, is that it, kids nowadays don't have the same feelings and the same complaints as our parents did and our grandparents did, because we have dialled in just the right amount of pain or deprivation to match their crimes, and they can't help but admit it? Or are the children of the children of these modern middle-aged children still going to make the same complaints to each other because the basic principle hasn't changed, namely, 'they never let me X and they think they own me and they shit on my life whenever they want?' Find me the evaluation of any matter of degree in that, I ask you.
So were our parents, our grandparents unevolved, incapable of non-violence, or less violence? No, that wasn't the trouble then, any more – or any less - than now. There were some gentler people living in even the far past than many people living today; civilization is not a linear progression, it's messy. Did they simply 'go too far?' No, because of course we don't go too far – and you know our kids have all the same complaints we did and our parents did. Again, I'm still getting to it: the disrespect.
They didn't do their best and fail. They're not animals with no self-control any more than you are, and they didn't fail at assessing what was punishable and what was an appropriate punishment, either. They failed because there is no winning this game. Spoiler alert –you are not going to win the game of discipline in child-rearing either, and self-control won't save you. Getting just the right amount of force and/or fear in your discipline isn't going to win it either – because . . .
The right amount of force, violence, deprivation, unpleasantness of any sort is none, exactly none, which is a principle. These are the contrasting principles in this story: the betrayal, violence and/or deprivations of punishment – or not; yes or no, that is a difference of principle, and that is the only change in our child-rearing that would be a real, qualitative change.
The old folks, they didn't fail, because that's not fair to say of someone who never had a chance in the first place, and it's disrespectful. Those folks weren't stupid. They were exactly like us, they had better intentions, and they did the best they could within a bad system. If we think we're going to do better, without having a better idea, without having a different idea, then we're going to find out, and we'll know that we were no smarter than they were. Too late to make a change, of course.
Evolution isn't automatic. It happens because we want to live and sometimes in order to do that, we have to figure out a better way.

My mum, or dad never hit me, I was pretty tame though for my age, things got far worse later, punishment didn't work on me, not even official punishment, it just made me hate.
and therein lies the huge flaw in how punishment is supported and sold. We offer a single negative consequence for a proscribed action that they MAY get IF they get caught, in a nearly limitless world of writhing, teeming causes and effects and they talk about it as if the subject – the child, the criminal – will react to that possible, sometimes applied effect as though it were a force of Nature like gravity and people were inanimate, unthinking objects.
That is so fecking weak, logically, that it's less than a joke – but that's the reigning theory.
Even though I was a wilful child I rarely did anything but give lip. After sustained violence I did things I never thought I could stomach, because I felt I had no choice, punishment, lawful or otherwise has effects that the powers that be don't give a shit about because its what a vengeful public demands, logic? Who cares I want a pound of flesh, no matter that.
What not that^
the thing I'm starting to suspect is maybe worse – that the damage is intentional, it's why punishing works as well as it does, because it damages the subject in just that way, it's intended to damage us to the point where ( see that – "where?" ) we are no longer psychologically capable of re-offending in that particular way. You've inspired a new post – except I can't open a new doc and start typing fast enough. I'll probably remember, eventually.
Yes am bad, were and where
Here is another one for you, I was a pretty good kid, punishment legal and illegal put me on the other side, I saw a lot of people there who basicly were victimised into the underworld.
The would uses punishment for political reasons, 'we need to punish the Arabs for having oil – I mean WOMD."
Countries love to do that big macho thing that they do and it filters down to everyone with a flag in their jerk hand.
yup, accuse them of a crime, and then righteously rain bloody fuckin' Hellfire down on the evildoers, that's the Punishment Culture. Once someone does something "wrong," whatever you do to him afterwards can never be "wrong."
Then they wonder why people self medicate to death. Yeah lets have a war on drugs too.

I suppose I'd better apologise for being inactive for some time. I've had stuff to do at a server, and I've been "busy" with school. I've also run out of ideas for awhile, so I forgot to come here to check on things and post stuff. Come to think of it, exams are coming in a month, too, and I may be slightly less active for this period of time.
I'm tying to get an idea post out soon and I'm wondering if it's okay with everyone if I post it on the Terraria Wiki too to link to it here? If so, as I'm posting it on both sites, I'm wondering if I should use the Plagiarism template too. Thoughts on this?

The Beehive Cluster (also known as Praesepe, Messier 44 or NGC 2632) is an open cluster in the constellation Cancer.The cluster was known to Aratus by 260 BC and Charles Messier included it in his catalogue of cometlike objects despite its obvious nature as a star cluster. The Beehive Cluster lies at a distance of about 577 light years from Earth, making it one of the closest clusters after the Ursa Major Moving Cluster, the Hyades and the Pleiades. It is visible to the naked eye although it is best observed with binoculars or with a wide-field telescope at low magnification.Messier 44's age is estimated at about 730 million years.One of the brighter components of the Beehive Cluster is Epsilon Cancri, which is also known as 41 Cancri. Originally, the Bayer designation ε Cancri was applied to the entire cluster.

September 28, 2012 Memo: A Note from the Curriculum Desk… Dear Teacher Family, Instead of giving a best practice of the week, I would like to reflect on the practices we were taught on Thursday and Friday during Professional Development. A handful of people were wondering the answers to questions that have consumed them since Thursday afternoon: How will I have the time to go back and redo all of my plans? How can I make these templates fit my courses? When will I find the time to work all of these new strategies into my lessons? How will I rewrite all of my items to match the new ideas presented? How do these expectations fit my course? These are all great questions, and relevant at that… The good news is there is no end time or due date for these strategies to be completed, embedded or mastered… as of yet. Many of these workshops were refresher courses on some of the best practices we used school wide the year we went from a "D" to an "A." Learning Focused Acquisition Lessons and area strategies for such categories as Essential Question writing, Activation, Teaching Method, Summarizing, and Vocabulary were a school wide focus during school year 10. For those Pirates onboard at the time, how could forget the riveting Kudzu lesson and model we received? After our small group walkthroughs with administration, we did not make a return to the actual strategies that are research based and student centered. There are hundreds of strategies out there, and this particular workshop was a way to remind you that there are ways to use these strategies across the content areas. Must I use a sole template for my plans? Absolutely not; but you do have to include all of the expected parts of the Acquisition model: Unit EQ/Lesson EQ's, Vocabulary, Activating Strategies, Teaching Strategies, Summarizing Strategies, Assessment Prompts, etc. In addition to that, the expected Flagler County items would include standards being addressed in that lesson/unit, materials needed, time frames, and reflection practices. The Skyward Assessment/Message Center workshop was to inform you of some of the tools we have in our grade book program. We have had access to this training before, but not many teachers use this option in their grade books. It reduces grading time and helps communicate with all parents and students. The assessment tool is quick and easy, and with the averages/breakdown results, you can help drive your instruction with the collected data. It saves paper, and saves the test in the system, so all you need to do over the years is go in and make any necessary edits. The message center is another great way of documenting your communication with parents and students. While on the topic of data driven instruction, the Performance Matters workshop was developed to not only show you what data may be available, but how the access it, and use these areas to increase student achievement both inside and outside your own classes. The time set aside in the workshop should have given you the opportunity to begin looking at your student data and formulating ideas how it is relevant to your courses. The ESOL and IEP workshop was more of a refresher course on what is expected of teachers when working with ESE students and ESOL students. Since we will be accredited AND ESOL audited this year, it was important to review this information. The Test Item Writing workshop seems to have some people confused. Much of the feedback I received was about wanting to write items for the District. True, some people will be and have already been pulled to do item writing for our county, but the main reason for this workshop time was to let teachers know what the state and district will be doing with test items/how they are writing them, so that they can model the same expectations in their classrooms. The Centers/Differentiation and Essential Six Reading Strategies workshops were to help everyone consider new practices or return to these best practices. Centers are a great way to differentiate and work more strategically with your students. The E6 was a school wide focus 3 years ago when we tried to "sink the D, hook the A…" and it worked… In addition, when Common Core Standards begin to roll into the classrooms, ALL content areas will have literacy standards they are expected to address and these strategies and skills will be important to students mastering these standards. Please do not think the expectation is to implement everything you learned by a certain date and time. Majority of these workshops were to give people ideas to build on over time and pick and choose things to slowly implement during CC Team meetings and while Common Core starts rolling in. You are not expected to rewrite all of your current items, but you are expected to use this set time to look at what we have in place and what may need to change, moving our school from GOOD to GREAT or EFFECTIVE to HIGHLY EFFECTIVE. I hope I alleviated some of your concerns a bit. During Wednesday's CC meeting, you will begin to pick ONE area and think about how we do this well and what area we need to work on. More directions to come regarding that meeting… I hope everyone has a wonderful week! Sincerely, Kara Minn
A Note from Nahirny
I just want to let my Pirate Family know that I am doing well both at at the Davis Cancer Center at Shands where I am undergoing daily radia'on treatments, and at the American Cancer Society Winn Dixie Hope Lodge, where Mike and I are staying. So far, I have had 14 treatments, and have 28 leI. I've already started a "countdown" of sorts. The Pirates are never far from my mind. I wear a different team's jersey or tee to the radia'on treatments each day, so everyone in radia'on oncology knows about MHS. Addi'onally, since I get to listen to whatever CD I choose during treatment, I recently brought with me the MHS Chorus CD which Mrs. Frato recorded with the group a few years ago, and so now all the folks there know how wonderful our chorus sounds, too! Some MHS seniors came out to visit me on September 27 (Pablo Torres, Cheyenna Espinoza, Ariana Bazzell and Emily Goodwin) and they brought with them the football shirts which Coach Lagocki sent, as well as cards and gree'ngs from students -‐-‐not to men'on Mr. Murphy's famous BBQ ribs (yum). Thanks to those of you who have kept in touch with phone calls and emails. It definitely makes a difference, and helps keep me upbeat and posi've as I go through this whole ordeal. I will be back home in Crescent City in late October, and when I recover from the treatments, I'll be coming back to Shands for surgery, likely in November. Thanks for thinking of me during this 'me.
Computer Assisted Instruction Utilizing Assessments Why would we utilize this in the classroom? One of the bene8its of computer-‐assisted instruction is the immediate feedback. If you have a quiz or test online, students get immediate feedback based on immediate results. Many programs today allow for students to review tests and quizzes to identify the correct answers for questions they did not answer correctly once they have completed an assessment. In addition, the software generally requires all questions to be answered before a test is submitted or reminds the user of incomplete questions before submitting an assessment, which reduces unanswered questions. Many teachers have found an overall when using computer-‐based pre-‐ Students can see their own instruction, while teachers can focus large group and small group

Education News Digital textbook mandate creates a wrinkle The state Legislature wants school districts to spend less money on printed textbooks and more on electronic versions, with the goal of at least a 50-50 ratio by 2015. But a Land O' Lakes High teacher says the shift might be happening a little too fast. Orange Co. wants to replace notepads with iPads in schools Orange County school leaders are talking about how to move into the new digital world of education.

Report Calls on Schools to Adopt Digital Media Within 5 Years
Out of Print: Reimagining the K-12 Textbook in a Digital Age, a new report from the State Education Technology Directors Association is calling on schools to make plans to transition from traditional textbooks to digital texts in the next five years. The paper looks at the benefits that districts might gain from using digital resources in the classroom and examines the progress made by states that have already taken steps to shift to the new medium - and the challenges and successes they've encountered along the way. The report doesn't just focus on the academic benefits of using digital educational resources, but also lays out how switching away from printed texts could give schools both unprecedented flexibility and achieve real cost savings. Digital updates don't require a mass repurchase; therefore, a digital edition of a textbook can be used way past the time a real book had reached its end of life. There's also a matter of portability and availability. Electronic materials are available any time and can be used in class without having to ask students to carry the extra weight, making the choice previously forced on teachers to either allow students to keep texts in school or at home obsolete. It is the user experience, however, that excites the authors the most. Because digital media includes more than just words, including videos and animations, they are transformative. Instead of pictures to illustrate concepts, students can view simulations or experimental videos. Instead of a dry list of problems for homework, there are virtual labs, interactive lessons and online assessments. Continue reading this Education News article here.

1. Bright & Colorful Clutches (Star Mela) $92.00
5 trends for Spring and Summer
My favorite time of the year is finally here and its accompanied with some hot fashion trends. This year, shades of bright yellows are really popular, as are crisp outfits of all white. Here is a list of some predicted trends for spring and summer from the fashion world and myself.
1. Bright & Colorful Clutches (Star Mela) $92.00
Everything you could ever want in a spring/summer clutch, this would add the needed punch of color to any outfit. I can picture this already with a linen outfit for a night out on the town or at the beach.
Sundresses for Spring
Springs in the air! Oh how I've missed the hot sun & green grass. My absolute favorite first sign of spring are the yellow and white daffodils that sprout around Georgia yards.
Seriously, I'm dying to wear linen, sundresses, and shorts. If I could live my life in a sun dress and a pair of espadrilles, I would. Here is a look at a few of my favorite warm weathered items.
For this look I'm wearing this geometric mini dress from Free People. I bought this from Nordstrom Rack a few years back so unfortunately, it's not on sale. If you're obsessed with FP (like I once was), shop at Nordstrom Rack. They carry some of the brands pieces for much less!
P.S. Flowers are the best accessory.
Dutch Braid & Messy Bun
If you follow me on instagram then you may have already seen this fantastic braid. This voluminous & perfect messy look is really simple and looks great every time! Recently, I have become obsessed with messy buns. I never got the hang of how to make them cute until I saw an Amber Fillerup tutorial. She is gorgeous, has beautiful long hair, and actually teaches techniques oppose to a simple tutorial. If you are unfamiliar with her videos & blog, definitely give her a look.

Makeup Must Haves
I've gotten a few comments on my instagram lately from you guys complimenting my skin & makeup, I literally have the simplest routine. My favorite everyday products consist of: foundation, loose powder, bronzer, eyebrow pencil, and a quick swipe of lipstick. My makeup takes about 5-10 minutes every morning and is the quickest part of getting ready.
1.Laura Mercier Moisture Supreme Foundation ($48)
I have eczema on my checks so they are always dry, bumpy, and red. From what I've used on the market, this is my favorite foundation. My face doesn't look cakey & I feel like it's helping my skin when I wear it (oppose to sitting on the surface and feeling heavy). This product lasts a long time, so you are definitely getting a bang for your buck here.
2. Bare Minerals Powder ($28)
While this is Bare Minerals Original Foundation Powder, I use mine for setting my liquid foundation. This is a great way to ensure my makeup will last longer and cover up any unwanted rosiness on my cheeks. I used this stuff in middle school solely as my foundation but found the coverage wasn't great for my skin type. However, do whatever works for you!
3. Anastasia Brow Pencil ($23)
Eyebrows are so important! Strong and thick brows have oddly become a huge deal in the last few years. In order to achieve a bold brow, you need Anastasia Brow pencil or other products like the gel version. I currently have the pencil and I feel 10x better after using it. I hope to try the gel soon.
4. Guerlain Bronzing Powder ($53)
This is quite pricy for bronzer but it is the bomb!!! I was skeptical about the purchase but the pigment is great and it really gives you that desired sun kissed skin, the perfect amount of glow year round.
5. Marc Jacobs Lipstick ($30)
I'm a lover of red & plum lipstick and thought I'd expand my collection with this coral/orange color. It can't wait to wear this color with a summer tan in a few months. The color also lasts up to 10 hours so you don't have to constantly reapply. Super excited about this purchase!

Botanical Gardens
In all of the 11+ years that my family has lived in Georgia, we have never made it to the Botanical gardens. I've always wanted to see the impressive displays of colorful flowers and sculptured shrubs. This weekend my sister, mom, and I experienced it for the first time. My expectations were blown out of the water!
Before we hit the sites , we shared a little appetizer at The Café at Linton's there in the Garden. We shared a delicious cheese plate made from local ingredients and sipped on french pressed coffee & champagne.
Since Georgia is at the ending point of winter, the outside flowers were not quite in bloom. So, we headed for the green houses which have the largest collection of orchids in the U.S. It was so satisfying to walk into the lush & humid greenhouse full of popping colors! With the exception of visitors and tourists, I could have sat in there for hours. We enjoyed running around in the palms & grasses. Every color bursts against the green, the pictures turned out amazing!
Turtle Neck
I appreciate cozy & chunky sweaters for the colder months of the year. It seems like all I want to wear are huge sweaters that I can hide from the cold in. However, I am so done with this weather and I'm tired of my winter wardrobe. I miss my linen and complaining about the summer heat. Slowly but surely, winter will pass and spring will be upon us. Until that time comes, here is one of my favorite turtle neck sweaters.

When the tea is over:))
WHen the tea is over in thermos, it becomes ery cold. Cold, as known, is well connected with sleeping process:))
Wish to t in time and in wrong place. However Kolomensky pars at 10 pm is not the best place to spend night especiall...
By the way i had a thought... I have neoprene carpet, warm jacket, minitent, Chocolate bar, and 20 roubles to drink tea inmorning... Why not then?
WHy yes? And i turned to subway...
I fell asleep at home on sofe without undressing... The dream was wierd:
I dreamed then i am digger which is not very far away from truth:) i walk in underground secret system Metro-3, searcheing for stolen my national security agents diving instrustor (I not gonna tell his name:)). ANd my task is to return him in Diving Center befoer Rescue course starts... Someghow my future was dependidng on that... Metro-3 wierdly looked like Syany(cave sustem), Red and Sonika:)) Bu the way i met my grandmom, who really wanted to join me, but couldnt fit in little cave gate, cause she was too fat. Then she have taken mini trolley and left... I reloaded stone gate and entered huge triangle room with pool, where my instructor was swimming in wierd suit(like SAS:)) I removed him from pool and made CPR. Agents ariiven to me and told then i passed mission sucesfulluand search and rescue exam is passed.
THen i told then pool could be good for OWD lessons, but earth started to shake and pool become full of stones, room exit and coule of agents. They told then i Treachered my country and they tried to destroy me . LIkely i had mortar...
THen i woke up and found big cut of tea close to bed... THanks for brother.

Time to learn to lie! Or not to tell all truth - no matter... Niet, i am like that, Conscience does not allow to lie or even to hide! It allow me to cross the law every day, but to lie - niet, that is unreal:(( Tired i am with my idealism, then all should be perfect!
It cost nothing to keep words inside, not to answer that stupid question?! EASY, couple of words, just a game... Niet! I pushed me to tell. All as it is...
I made good person sad. Very, Ochen... But didnt lie...
I wish to know where the Conscience is, I would cut it out...(((
PS: You start to think - here it is amazing day, but niet, i find a way to destroy it...
I know it will pass but sad now. MY Calmness resources are over limit, hae to eb carefull not to kick someboy...:(((

: Is that world real
Half a nigh i was walking on shore of Moscow river enjoying all around... Night, Dense, cold, highlited with thin bright light stripes, calm, but full of music, SMell of water mixed in it, ground smell, rude oil and milk aroma...And i was wealking slowly thinking to go home or to catch sunrise where he dosent expect to be seen... Somwthing was missing...
Half a day i was riding tramways, writing SMSes, destroying tasty food. Interesting deal to travel by tramway not choosing a trip... One more time exiting the tramway i realised then i am nearly at the entrance of Red Proletary factory... All roads go to work...:)) Hmmmm. Catched a feeling of calmness, satisfaction and a bit of fatality...
Walked around cathedral... Silent, amazingly SIlent...And the bells started to ring!! Unexpectedly, Bright, happy, same time hormonique... Impressive! No name feeling...
People were there too... Not a lot but everywhere... Good ones, All different, but anyway all like relative ones... That is my way to adsorb reality today... I look in people, trying to catch something... The all were so nice and i ejoyed the day a loy...
Imprersive time...

:Was written time ago
...:)I found that in my notebok
. Happend sometimes:
I gonna walk on water line
To compare elements, plots
To look on immigrating dreams
How do they get shapes and portraits
To the roof of my home, just the side
Where air takes all the space...
There is heaven for ones who have wings
But issn't safe for ones who dont have
And if i have? But only half a wing,
Will half of sky be putten in my hands?
Half of the time, half life, half of heat?
Half hapiness, half sadness, half an answer?
No sense in space if you dont have a time
All's over and no reason to wait answer...
Question isn't asked, then is answer necessary?
But they don't move... Why did you shout your mouth?!
I will fall on atoms in between people,
I let each one a pice of me...
Their sadness will drawn in me,
Because i try to give them at leaset a moment of silence...

Rubber time and half time activity...
Strange... Today i managed all what was planned for 4 days...today i was sweating a lot\pores were dirty
1. i packed my camping bag, was surprised to realise then no one aluminium sick, no one strap, no one pocket was lost, broken or damaged...
Sleeping bag also, which is strange, was on place and okay,(i even slept in it for half an hour:)) ZIP and KLMN are on the bottom of bivuak and are abs fine too... All the rest was in the same no disturbed position. that is good but very wierd:))
2. I painted mini warderobe and 3 magasine-holders. Now i have one abstract picture of the world, black water with hiden fish, Je;;yfish and circle of fish family:))) I was excited by watching on them and bought few brushes today:))
3. I rollerbladed for 10 years in advance. From 5 am till all my lithol(rollerblade oil) boiled away:)) Not used to start a day at such a time:))
4. Agreed with friend of mine then he will repair my sinthesator (I wasnt brave enough to go inside myself:)
5. I didnt choose the particular wetsuit yet but will decide on place afer advices of collegues-professionals.
6. I filled 3 standard street containers with rubbish:)) Cool!!
7. And, Yeah! DA, i did it! From run (As it is possible with fins:)) i fished in friendly(but very cold) waters of lake, where is forbidden to swim:)) I feel good:)) Like if i have jumped in "Youth Bath"(which is in Big Canyon, Ukraine) jumped:)))
ANd all that in one day!!
By the way i managed to buy little ceramic teapot for tea ceremony loking likt flowered wood, 2 types of tea, which, honestly, doesnt fit, to wash that teapot:(( Bought two brushes, Easter cake and new swinnimg glasses.
Also i had 2 meetings, passed by office(where they didnt want to allow me to enter:)), threw a lot of mails, rewrite nice CD with Makarevich music, write that crappy LJ post and lot of other crapy staff and still remain human after all:))
Looks like the rest of 3 days i will spend watching one dot, to destroy kefire, eat nice and tasty staff and make nothing-doing...:))
Isn't life amazing?

I can see boats and hostell from there... And there's monastry i can see rom hill... 2 hours to swim against current on boat... Then back... No energy to swim, Niether to think... Smell of fire, music... I'm anyway too tired to talk...
Morning... I go to tower... To gates... Try to climb up... Scary without securing... But best view is from there... I try to fing my tree. It's cutten away...
I walk on shore and try to recognise known faces... Sergaich is left, Igor broke up, no more teaching, sisters left to the city, noone seen Petr for a year, they found an empty boat... He didnt leae. He couldnt, didnt want?
No faces to recognise, places only... Same smell as always. Wet, calm... Scary... Scarier in the city.
Will i ever be back?
All's fine... Nothing happends... NOthing. Time passes too slowly to be recorded i memory...
WHich animal will my ear catch? Fish will splash in the water, or bird above lagoon will call, remindidng about herself... Sun is tired to heat... Dinner and bed time...
No food left... THen will eat in hostell... One more night... One.
Time to go home... Where? Am i not home? Am i home? No... Noone's there... I will leave too...
Will i ever be back? I want, I really want to return...There...
I can not sleep... I lost. I lost all. Place, People, time, myself... Myself?
Heavy... HEavy to sleep... inal night i spend in water...
Sick... TIred... I see there's no reason to delay my leave anylonger. i call... But drop off when i hear voices. That's fine. They understand, call back...
I still have few hours of MY time... Empty time.
They arrived. I fall asleep in car to wake up in the morning absolutely satisfied...
Will i ever be back? I want, I really want to return...There, where water in in ront and ield behing and hill in the middle...

: Poor she
My ofice is in the building where there's lot of different staff...
There we have clothes factory, paints distributors, advertizers exist there, few printing houses, even Night Shift-2 (film) was partially recorded in our factory building:)) But we have no swimming pool.
I have bad habit - i wash my hair in hands rinse tank which is close to office :(
Normally i return in office with wet hair and towel on shoulder:)
People often ask - where i am comming from? :) Sure, i am jokingly answering then from pool:))
One day i am taking my towel to do my bad thing and oe girl with shining face asks if she can go with me... She already have asked everybody where that pool is and run around all our factory building to find it. Some people now talk then there is pool there but only used by managers...Heh, that was just a joke...And poor blondy believed me..

the "PAINT HUMAN" or "DESTROY BASTARD" game (depend on how do you like to call it:)))
yesterday first time in my life i played paintball:)))
All begun with the fact i was late :) I sent sms to Pasha then i will be late for 10 min but he was 30 min late then :)))
THen we tried to find moved bus station and shop which is open(Verba Sunday - all was closed...)
THen there was looong walk on dirty wet ground and climbing up to hill:) NOw i know where they should make Russin Extream TV show:)))
Long walk made tired two gamers and threw up their game mood...
Then they capitulaated without fighting and stayed on safety zone to grill meat:))
That time we listened instrouctage and started first game...For me it was short game, on 5th minute i received paintball ball on nose:))) (O Grat Protective MAsk thank you to save my face as it is:))) Taste of green ball i didnt like and protected myself better then... I was running a lot then no matter for weather it was sweating:)))alo i had to lay on ground a lot in other game...:))
In the beginning i wasnt sure if i like the game or not but on secon hour balls flying above head started to be normally accepted and i adoptated to deep dirt and water edges :))
The most exciting was long couple running ride around all gamezone which ended with big shouting from VERY deep and dirty hole in ground. When i was back home and removed camouflage it reamined staying :)
THe end of the day was glintwain drinking which was so good and in time warming up then i decided to forget about my allergy for a bit :)
I am very peacefull and kind human then i was surprised how much i enjoued the game. Nice was tro throw away energy and to have un. All next week i will be calm as wood... :)
That is something to repeat...
PS: After when i was in subway between coloumns i was kind of worried not to have gun cause on last game zone we had exactly the same coloumns. Hmm :))

: Camuoflage and pencil
Today i was trying my new summer navy uniform(for paintball)... That reminded me how once i nearly went in army =) Was laughing a lot...
AFter i went to look in mirrow - was shocked for a while... =) Yeah, short hair makes it's work =))
I have taken form undertable old grandpa's watertank, helmett(modern one)... Scared my mom... She was so shocked that threw at me palette =) Home made paintball =) Now i anm thinking what to add on that uniform. Probably will write something scary on back=)))
After i had to wash my biege rat from blue paint that fell on her from mama's pelette tha she threw at me when shocked=) I should bring her at work - safer there...
AFter one girl called me and told bad news, i was angry and kicked warderope, then little piece of pencil fell out. That surprised me a lot, cause pencils in my life are one of rare things that i try to keep in order (like any artist =))) I was looking on that pencil for a while and finally had strange idea. I licked that pencil and realised it is what i was thinking - chemical pencil (very vintage story)
Yaaaam... Going in bed...

Teresa left on Friday afternoon, very much looking forward to spend time with her family. I and Joli went to an Aussie bar on the Palm yesterday for lunch with friends (but left just before the rugby game started). We spent an hour by the pool and then hubby had a night flight to Jakarta so he went to bed early while I and the kids watched TV. I rediscovered Ally McBeal on Netflix and enjoyed a few episodes. I loved that series and I remember I even got the soundtrack. I have to admit, the music isn't all that good (that singer's voice is actually quite annoying) and Ally is wearing long jackets and short skirts which was the fashion at that time but now it looks a bit funny. Anyways, perfect to watch in the evenings with a glass of wine in hand.
The packing has already started with my normal obsession of not bringing too much clothes as I hate carrying around tons of luggage when only half of it will be used. There is a washing machine in the house we are renting after all.
What I am looking forward to most of all is just sitting on my terrace, looking out over the ocean, kids playing in the sand/playground/room/wherever they want to play, sipping on a glass of wine. Yep, I can't wait for that.
I did have time to pop over to my dear friend A for a nice coffee break the other day. Her son had made the most amazing chocolate cake.

GNOMECAT. Let's Strike again!
As you can see in my GNOMECAT commits I have been a couple or more months really inactive [emoji confused face] .
I have been too busy with my university exams and projects. I have become the secretary of GPUL (2012 GUADEC organizers), which is awesome but it takes an amazing amount of time. And, in addition, I have got employed by R (a galician ISP), which is also great but it takes another important amount of time too.
So that's why I have not worked in GNOMECAT application during that time and I'm afraid that the situation isn't gonna change in the next few months.
On the other hand, I have acquire a compromise with GNOME community when I started my GSoC internship. I should create an application to help GNOME translators and the application isn't done. So I really want to finish GNOMECAT and I think that this summer would be a good time to do it. Providing that I find a mentor, I'm going to apply again for a Google Summer of Code.
The purpose of this GSoC is, obviously, finish the application. So in this post I'm going to sum up what's is done and what I'm going to do this summer.
