Value of North Sulawesi's non-oil, gas exports drops sharply
Manado, N Sulawesi (ANTARA) – The value of non-oil and gas exports of North Sulawesi in April 2019 again recorded a sharp drop than the previous period.
"In comparison with March 2019, North Sulawesi's export performance decreased by 18.66 percent, and as compared to the previous year, it fell by 44.24 percent," Head of the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of North Sulawesi Dr Ateng Hartono remarked in Manado on Monday.
Hartono noted that in March 2019, North Sulawesi's exports of US$68.81 million, dropped 18.66 percent, to reach $55.96 million.
In comparison with the corresponding period in 2018 (y-on-y), it reduced by 44.24 percent, from $100.25 million, to $55.96 million.
This month, vegetable oils and fats continued to dominate export commodities, but in April, there was a decline in this group's share of total exports to 36.97 percent, than 45.71 percent recorded last month.
This group of goods was exported in April to six destination countries, respectively from the highest value: the United States, China, Brazil, South Korea, the Netherlands, and Malaysia.
The export value of HS 15 class of goods witnessed a decline of 34.20 percent in the FOB value from the previous month (m-to-m). Superior export commodities comprised processed coconut products, including VCO, copra, and coconut oil, with industrial companies spread across the North Sulawesi Regency/City.
Raw material for the processing industry producing this commodity came from imports between regions, the area around North Sulawesi Province, in addition to the results of the local plantation of Nyiur Melambai.
The United States emerged the top destination country for North Sulawesi's non-oil and gas exports in April 2019, worth $12.99 million, or 23.21 percent of the total value of non-oil and gas exports. Animal or vegetable fats and oils (HS 15) held top position, as in February 2019 (m-to-m), though the value decreased by 12 percent than the previous month.
In April 2019, he remarked that most non-oil and gas export commodities were sent through several ports outside North Sulawesi, although exports through the ports in North Sulawesi were still of high value.
The biggest exports of goods from North Sulawesi in April 2019 valued at $18.26 million, or 32.63 percent of the total exports, were recorded through the Tanjung Priok Port.
"A drastic decline was recorded in the export value from Bitung Port, the largest in North Sulawesi, which is 45.41 percent (m-to-m), for which precautionary measures are necessary," he noted.

Steem Meetups, Steem Clubs, Steem Ambassadors - time to mobilise a Steem Promotional Army?
10 comments
Steem Meetups can be a great vehicle for recruitment and particularly improving retention on Steem.
SteemClub-UK is still in its early stages but I do think the 'social' aspect of the SteemClub could help strongly with getting new people on the platform, and keeping existing steemians engaged.
Steem Ambassadors can play an obvious role in promoting Steem. So far the Ambassador model has not reached its full potential on steem - but the prospects for the future are brightening.
Can we bring these three elements together to form a coordinated and powerful force for building numbers on Steem?
Steem Meetups
There is already a useful number of both regular and ad-hoc Steem Meetups going on around the world...
Meetups are not too difficult to organise and can be a great way to network and build contacts on Steem.
I am keen to explore ways to encourage more meetups around the world, and to help publicise them to attract more people.
If anyone would be interested in setting up a meetup but needs help or support please contact me.
Steem Clubs
This is a model we are just beginning to explore and experiment with in the UK.
So far @steemclub-uk has organised a couple of virtual meetups, helped promote some real life meetups and offered some curation support to 'members'.
The Steem Club concept I believe may be beneficial to buildng steem numbers around specific geographic locations.
I would love to see them grow to eventually have a local Steem Club in all major towns and cities around the world.
Steem Clubs can take many forms and have many different activities.
We are looking at ways to expand SteemClub-UK...
Steem Ambassadors
The original Steem Ambassadors grew out of the Promo-Steem project set up by @starkerz, @anarcotech and @stephenkendal nearly two years ago.
The Ambassadors had the remit to promote Steem in any way they could around the world and potentially earn rewards for doing so.
Of the 60 or so Ambassadors only about half are still active on Steem, but the program is largely paused at the moment...
@tj4real @jeanwandimi @eurogee @xpency @ejemai @greatness96 @kesolink @bait002 @tojukaka @michaelcj @yohan2on @leotrap @jackmiller @joythewanderer @connecteconomy @future24 @anarcotech @cryptocurator @pennsif @starkerz @mcfarhat @hungryhustle @ayijufridar @my451r @dilimunanzar @anarcotech @cryptocurator @pennsif @starkerz @mcfarhat @hungryhustle @ayijufridar @my451r @dilimunanzar @bahagia-arbi @suheri @starlost @mariska.lubis @dokter-purnama @alaikaabdullah @anggreklestari @razack-pulo @bitrocker2020 @ettydiallova
There are plans for a new Ambassadors program to be formulated through the currently forming Steem Foundation, but there are no details on how this will progress yet.
I hope they will be able to be able to pick up with Steem Meetups and hopefully Steem Clubs.
We do need to build numbers on Steem as soon as possible to replenish and grow the community.
If anyone needs support to set up a meetup, or is interested in forming a SteemClub do let me know.
We need a SteemArmy to get out on the streets and tell people about the platform.
It's time to mobilise...

Dear Kay,
Well, it's proving to be hard to knit your life while simultaneously trying to LIVE your life. I don't even know what year I'm up to, at this point: maybe sixth grade? I'm definitely going to skip seventh grade altogether. I've already had two night-terror wakeups involving Miss T______, the world's scariest PE teacher.
Here's where things stand.
On the back, I'm imagining the life we all think we're going to lead, where we meander along, one pleasant moment after another.
On the front, I'm going for life as it actually seems to happen.
Technical tidbits so far:
The shoulders are going to require some shoring up. By the time I get to 2013 down at the bottom, the shoulders will be bearing the unbearable heaviness of being. Maybe some of that reverse-side crochet business? Maybe the sleeves will tighten things up a bit? Maybe I'll just go to therapy and talk about it.
The increases. Francis asks how I'm doing the increases to get an A line shape. I'm working top down, so I'm adding as I go. Basically, I think of it as a cone. On an increase row, which happens every inch, I add 8 stitches: 2 stitches at each side, 2 spaced evenly across the front and 2 across the back. If you do only side increases, you can end up with a droopy hem. I'm sneaking the increases in as purl stitches, so they don't show up in the cables.
I need to increase a lot because the top is pretty snug (negative ease?! o noes!). I'm aiming for the bottom edge to be 10 inches wider than the bust.
The blocking on this is going to be very important. I want it to open up, in the interest of honoring St. Eileen of Fisher. POSITIVE ease. The more ease in life, the better! This yarn, if it's anything like Felted Tweed and I think it is, will allow some gentle yet assertive manipulation. This wool Rowanspun DK is cottony and gently spun.
And, in the tradition of Eileen Fisher, I'm dubbing this size Extra Small.
Next up, 1978: eighth grade!
Dear Kay,

BISHKEK -- Kyrgyzstan's Supreme Court is set to hear an appeal by ethnic Uzbek human rights activist Azimjan Askarov against his life sentence.
Askarov, who also contributed to independent news websites, has been jailed since 2010 on charges of creating a mass disturbance and involvement in the murder of a police officer during deadly ethnic clashes between local Uzbeks and Kyrgyz in June 2010. More than 450 people, mainly Uzbeks, were killed and tens of thousands more were displaced during the violence.
Askarov, 68, has insisted that his case is politically motivated. Rights groups, including the UN Human Rights Committee, have urged Kyrgyzstan to release the activist, saying that he was arbitrarily detained, tortured, and denied his right to a fair trial.
Ahead of the Supreme Court hearing, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) urged the Kyrgyz authorities not to contest Askarov's appeal and to release him immediately.
'If Kyrgyzstan wants to wash the terrible stain from its press-freedom and human rights record, it should finally release Azimjon Askarov,' Gulnoza Said, CPJ's Europe and Central Asia program coordinator, said in a statement.
'Kyrgyz authorities should deliver long-overdue justice in Askarov's final appeal, and allow him to reunite with his loved ones and get adequate medical treatment,' according to Said.
In July 2016, the Supreme Court voided Askarov's conviction and sent the case back to a lower court for review in light of 'new circumstances that appeared in the case.'
However, a court in Bishkek reinstated a life sentence for Askarov in January 2017.
And in July last year, a court in the northern Chui region upheld Askarov's sentence in a ruling described as a 'triumph of injustice' by Amnesty International.

A short little game with cute graphics - and exploding leprechauns! :-D
Unfortunately the gameplay is a bit glitchy. I had to restart twice because I got stuck and couldn't move. The cave with the wolf was probably the glitchiest of all. I still don't get how it was supposed to work but evidently I did it because I got to the ending.
The fade-out and fade-in between screens kinda gets old. Maybe make that go a lot faster.
Good story though. I'm glad my little sister turned out OK.

Surviving the thaw- tips for business customers
05 Mar 2018
Cambridge Water Business is in close contact with the wholesaler and we are aware that everything possible is being done to restore supplies. It has been a challenging operation due to adverse weather and extreme conditions over the weekend.
Rapid freeze and thaw conditions can cause water pipes to fail which can cause serious problems such as a loss of water supply or leaks. Whilst some leaks will be clearly visible, others may go unnoticed and result in an increased bill some time after the problem has occurred. There are some quick checks that business customers should carry out to identify if there are any problems on their pipe network.
Check your water meter and compare the reading to previous bills to check that it is in line with expectations.
If possible, check if the meter is moving when no water is being used. This may need to be done as an overnight check. If there is a problem, the supply should be isolated at the internal stop tap to determine which side of the tap it is on.
Check if there have been any changes to on site pressure.
Check the level of any water storage tanks to see if there have been any changes that could indicate a leak.
If you have a data logger, which provides detailed consumption information, check if flow rates have increased.
Cambridge Water Business Director Richard Stanbrook said: "We are aware that some of our retail customers have been affected by supply issues. We would like to reassure businesses that engineers from the wholesaler are continuing to work hard to make sure that supplies resume as soon as possible."
If you need to report a burst main or leaking pipe outside your business, please call 0800 316 7676. If you have leaking water or frozen and burst pipes inside your business please call a local plumber. A list of approved contractors can be found on the WaterSafe website
or by calling 0333 207 9030.

"Visdom hører steder til" - En studie om landskap og stedliggjøring av islandskhet
TypeMaster thesis
Not peer reviewed
MetadataShow full item record
The thesis explores national identity in Iceland and the UNESCO World Heritage Site Thingvellir National Park. This is the place where the Icelandic Parliament was established in the year 930 AD. In addition to the unique cultural position, the landscape of Thingvellir holds special geological features typical for Iceland. As such, it remains the birthplace of the nation both in a national historic and geophysical way. The subject of my thesis is to show how icelandicness is expressed through a relation to the landscape and understandings of the Icelandic nature. Thingvellir is a place heavily loaded with symbolic meaning for Icelanders. It is a ceremonial place for the national state, and a sacred space for Icelanders. The landscape at Thingvellir is in a way a narrative landscape, because the landscape is embedded with histories and legends; It is a place where wisdom sits in places" (Basso 1996: 67). There are no distinctively constructed memorials at the site. Therefore I argue, by using Connerton's (2009) terms, that the landscape is more locus than memorial; it is the surroundings of the landscape that is the source of memory of the past, not a constructed memorial. The nature at Thingvellir is alive" with an active geology. This suggests in a way that the landscape has agency. Therefore I question the dualism of nature and culture, two aspects which here so explicitly support each other. The two need to be looked at as a totality in order not to get a loss of meaning of the place. I argue that the UNESCO status fails in doing so by only acknowledging the cultural historic aspects, and therefore it seems to be a somewhat inadequate status at the local level. Thingvellir is also one of the most visited tourist attractions in Iceland, and considered a must-see". But the tourists erode the site, and they can be considered a profane dimension at their sacred site. Also, the tourists are said to not knowing what they look at" because they don't hold the local knowledge of the Icelandic landscape as the Icelanders do. I show how the Icelanders still try to keep the power of definition over their site as a locus". Thingvellir can be looked upon as a presentation of icelandicness", and as such the site stands as a symbol for Icelandic identity.

Problem: My deck is a piece of shit.
It's a DIY cantilevered lumber monstrosity built by some poor soul who knew just enough to build something visually pleasing but structurally hopeless. No permits were involved, and if any contractors were, they were drunk.
The front face of the deck is bolted to the foremost joist at the bottom, but the only other attachment point is this corner, which was casually nailed together using little rhomboid blocks. This has turned out to be kind of a theme with this house, with screws or nails doing a lot of load bearing, as if they were somehow magical and don't bend and shear and rust.
So anyway, the nails rusted, and the front began to fall off. It's still sturdy since the huge lag bolts at the bottom are screwed into the 2x10' double joist, but it's clear where it's headed.
Now, I don't like this deck, and I want to replace it with something much cooler and sturdier, preferably with a lot of stone and mortar involved. But until then, I need the damned thing to hold together.
I sawed down a spare 4x4 fence post that came with the house, and used some spare structural screws to attach it to one of the existing posts.
Then I used several beefy structural screws I bought to kind of winch the face back to (mostly) plumb. These things are self-drilling and I did all of this with my wimpy little 18 V drill.
On one plank, the wood started giving a little, and I think maybe I should have used some big washers or something, since god only knows how long the old weathered pine is going to last under the strain. But hey, it looks better than it did, and more importantly, it should hold together until I get around to building my dream deck.

DAB radio is an interesting development. We have had ours for over a year now, and like the way we can change channels TV style with a remote and things like that. I would love to say that we enjoy all the vast array of new radio channels, but have to honest and say that we tend to stick with the channels that we know and love. BBC7 looks interesting, but how on earth do you find what's on? You have to go to the website, and that's not always convenient.
I am less convinced by the sound quality compared to FM and have mentioned this before.
But do you know how power-hungry DAB radios are? I have bought a battery powered one, and simply cannot keep it in batteries. Apparently, on wind-up radios, one wind-up lasts an hour on FM, but would only last 3-5 minutes for DAB. It is to do with the power requirement of converting the digital signal (a stream of 1 and 0 figures) into something we can hear.
All of which begs the question: how much more energy use in the UK will result from the government push to digital? How much more energy does a Freeview box + TV use over a TV alone? And how many freewiew boxes can you actually turn off? Completely off?


text: Last Saturday afternoon my daughters and I were sitting on the back porch. It was a very nice afternoon, sunny, not too hot, not too cool, just very pleasant. I looked up and saw some contrails from airliners. Then, in the distance was a very wide contrail, kind of unusual looking. I watched for a couple of minutes, then went and got my binocs to get a little better view. It was flying directly over my house. When I viewed it through the binocs I just about dropped my teeth. At first glance it looked just like a TU-95 Bear Russian bomber! Long, slender fuselage, swept back wings and four engines...couldn't tell if they were jets or turbo props. After watching it a bit I couldn't really tell for sure. I don't think it was an airliner. I've never seen an airliner that looked anything like that bird did! I'm not sure it was a TU-95, but I sure as heck don't know what it was. I would estimate the altitude at approx. 30,000-35,000 feet. After thinking about it a bit I calmed down a bit, because if it HAD been a TU-95, how the blazes did it get into U.S. air space without being intercepted? It was really too high to tell exactly what it was with my binoculars, but at first look it sure appeared to have a sillouette very similar to a TU-95. Really got my adrenalin going for a few seconds.

Inspire me or at least entertain me. This was my bland attitude as I sat down to read the blogs tonight. My expectations of finding something new under the sun were fairly pessimistic.
Click here and head on over to Providence Acres to read about Purslane.
Then, there it was an interesting post.
Tomorrow I will be weeding my garden and eating the weeds. Ahh, I can go to sleep now. The blogger world entertained and inspired me.
Purslane Potato Salad will be on my menu tomorrow.

I haz award!
Well, since I've been here over a whole month, and have more than 50 followers now, but still no awards ( *sob-sob, pout*) I decided to take matters into my own hands and steal one! (it doesn't matter that she was giving them away anyway…I stoled it fair and square!) So here it is…my firstest award! Yay me! (Also, since it seems that I am an idjit…(who knew?)…who can't figure how to link to a picture, here is the place I stoled'em from…go get one of your own, she'll never notice, just got'em all laying around the place… )
PS: No feelings were hurt in the making of this post, the sarcasm guard was fully in effect, and these are not the droids you're looking for. Right? Right.

Taipei, Taiwan's third space program will focus on developing satellites and related technology over the next decade, enabling the government to better safeguard the nation, according to a Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) statement Tuesday.
The satellites to be developed from 2019-2028, include high-resolution and ultra-high-resolution optical remote sensing satellites, and synthetic aperture radar satellites, the ministry said.
The high-resolution and ultra-high-resolution optical remote sensing satellites will have a higher resolution than the 2-meter resolution panchromatic (black & white) images of the Formosat-5, MOST pointed out. However, the statement did not indicate what resolution images the new satellites would provide.
The Formosat-5 is Taiwan's first domestically developed and produced high-resolution optical telemetry satellite, taking six years and NT$5.66 billion (US$183.5 million) to develop, according to the New Southbound Policy Portal website, which is under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs domain.
The new satellites are expected to work together with the Formosat-5, collecting imagery and data to monitor homeland security and environmental changes, as well as land survey data, MOST pointed out.
Also designed to fulfill a homeland security function, the synthetic aperture radar satellite can send electromagnetic waves to objects on the earth's surface and collect returning waves without interference from clouds or weather, the ministry said.
The satellite can be useful when monitoring deforestation, land subsidence, epidermal deformation and assessing the scope of natural disasters, MOST added.
MOST's Department of Foresight and Innovation Policies said that Taiwan's first space program ran from 1991-2006, had a budget of NT$19.7 billion and established an essential foundation for space technology.
The second space program, from 2004-2018, had a budget of NT$25.9 billion and developed the Formosat-5, the department said.
Meanwhile, Premier Su Tseng-chang on Tuesday signed official documents already approved by the Legislative Yuan to spend NT$25.1 billion on the third space program.
On his Facebook page, Su said the measure is part of the government's third space program aimed at nurturing new talent and boosting national research into space technology, with the results to be used to support industrial development.

This is a sample lesson for a 3-hour class on quadratic functions for grade 11 math class.
These are two sample unit tests that I used in my classes before. Take them if you dare and send me your results so I can grade you. If you do end up getting a 100%, I'll let your parents know about your great progress!
Here is an example of a computer lab that I made for a grade 12 Earth Sciences class. This was a cumilative assessment of student's understanding of radioactive dating and took them 90 minutes to complete. This lab uses a simulation from Colorado University PhET labs.
This was a cumulative project that I used in the grade 11 Quadratics class. The students had to find a specific quadratic function for each of the parabolas that made up the masks in the picture and describe them algebraically.

Hopefully this is not the late-night effect, but I'm stumped by a very simple problem:
def test_getattr(v0):
v1 = "test1"
v2 = "test2"
v3 = "test3"
for k, v in locals().items():
print(k, v)
print(getattr(locals(), 'v1'))
The output gives the locals() dict items as expected:
v0 test0
v3 test3
v1 test1
v2 test2
But then dies with:
AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'v1'
v1 clearly is in the locals() 'dict', per the initial output, but then getattr() insists otherwise.
This is my first need to use locals(), but every bit of documentation I can find suggests this should work. What am I missing?
Edit/Update: Many thanks to @martijn for answer below. I managed to use dynamic local variables in getattr() by transiently assigning the local variables to a dummy class:
class Attr:
def test_getattr(v0):
A = Attr()
A.v1 = "test1"
print(getattr(A, "v1"))

About Fortune's Folly:
Steam Level: 3 – spicy
In 1854 EDEN FITZGERALD, a brave, bold sprite of seven, witnesses her mother's death, then along with an English boy, ALEX BANNING, embarks on a harrowing kidnap-and-escape adventure. Twelve years later Eden and Alex meet again in the British province of Prince Edward Island. It seems a chance encounter but he's there by design–as an agent [albeit reluctant] in Her Majesty's Secret Service he is investigating her family's connection with the Irish Republican Brotherhood.
Passionately attracted to each other, Eden and Alex have a brief, torrid romance. When her father and brother are imprisoned for smuggling for the IRB, Eden feels Alex betrayed her family, and her love for him sours. Alex, though beguiled by Eden, believes she is herself involved in the crimes and, disgusted with how his assignment turned out, leaves on another job.
Desperate to have her father and brother freed, Eden, pregnant with Alex's child, agrees to a marriage of convenience with ANDRÉ FONTAINE, a young French Canadian from a wealthy, influential family. He promises his family will ensure her father and brother are released. In exchange he wants to claim her child as his own, thus satisfying his family, and continue his pursuit of another woman.
Eden's life in the exciting city of Montreal would be satisfying were it not for her brother-in-law LOUIS FONTAINE, a man used to controlling the lives of his family. Eden, outspoken, independent, a budding feminist, brings him aggravation and, as he perceives it, shame to the proud family name. After she gives birth to twin sons, he remains suspicious of her motive in marrying his brother.
When her brother is released but her father sentenced to life in prison, Eden learns that for the right amount she can hire people to arrange her father's escape. Just as Louis learns some of her secrets, she learns of his plan to transport illegally-obtained money and finds a way to rob him. Needing yet more money, she dons a mask, carries a pistol, and becomes highway robber separating the wealthy from their money and jewelry. Louis discovers the twins are not André's and threatens to expose Eden. Needing to buy time, and his silence, she takes Louis as a lover.
With enough money to pay for her father's escape, Eden sees the realization of all her dangerous labors. Her father is free and they have a short, tearful reunion before his saviors whisk him to New York. And just in time, for her crimes are catching up to her. Louis is becoming alarmingly obsessive, there are police and secret agents after her, as well as a smuggler she once double-crossed. Her clever masquerade comes to a crashing, near-deadly end. Suddenly she, her husband and children must flee when André is accused of murdering his mistress' husband. Before they are completely safe, however, André is killed by a mysterious horseman.
Thousands of miles to the west, Alex is wintering in a trapper's snowbound compound. He has a vision of Eden in all the phases of her life, from brave child to desirable woman, ending with an erotic memory of the last time they were together. Somehow they will be together again.
At the same time Eden thinks of Alex, but not with the romantic notions she once had. She shakes off her memories and prepares to proceed with her sons into the vast wilderness of the Northwest Territories, determined to find her fortune.

Author Bio:
Cat Dubie's love of words began early. With a crayon in hand she first drew stories, with a pencil she wrote them. As for reading, she was the girl who always had her nose in a book, the one who read with a flashlight under the covers or, when the moon was full, sat by a window for hours laughing, crying, loving characters whose adventurous lives wouldn't let her sleep.
She has traveled the world in books. She has traveled back to the dawn of time and far into the future in books. Her keen interest in history determined the nature of her books, and the first Historical romance novel she read, settled the genre.
After working for various levels of government, she retired and now lives in the beautiful province of British Columbia, where she indulges in her need for creating stories about romance, adventure, passion, mystery, love …

I captured a kitten (about 7 wks old) in my backyard while its other three siblings ran off, but this kitten just hunkered down by my fence due to lack of energy...... thats when I saw wounds on its back with maggots in all the wounds.
Should I just flush the wound with Capstar or flush the wounds and give Capstar orally? - I'm concerned due to the kittens young age.
*I have no weight yet as I just found the kitten and it is filled with fear and spit fire that leaves it wanting to scratch the hell out me and I dont blame it. ♡
Thx for any help.

Verithin High Index Lenses
Lightest & Thinnest Lens at America's Best
Do you have a strong prescription and hate the thick lenses that go with it? Particularly great for strong prescriptions, you can enjoy thinner lenses when you purchase Verithin High Index lenses.
Verithin Lenses are Durable
Made of a durable yet lightweight high index plastic, Verithin lenses replace thick "coke bottle" lenses with a thin, discreet, and easy-to-wear lens that provides superior clarity. These lenses are mostly scratch resistant (though they will scratch if a purposeful attempt is made) and can fit in almost any fashion eyeglass frame you would choose. So, no longer does your strong prescription have to limit your eyeglass frame choice.
They Look Great!
The best thing of all is how great the Verithin lenses look. If you've ever been embarrassed at how thick your lenses are or felt like the size of your lenses added years to your age, those problems are over. Verithin lenses are a perfectly discreet way to wear a strong eyeglass prescription without anyone knowing just how impaired your vision really is.

These test dates and other important academic dates are listed on the WHS Academic Calendar
Updated December 2019
The Minnesota Test of Academic Skills (MTAS) is an alternate assessment based on alternate achievement standards for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities. It is part of the Minnesota assessment program. The MTAS measures reading, mathematics, and science skills that are linked to the general education curriculum. These skills represent high expectations for students with significant cognitive disabilities, but tasks to measure these skills are considerably less difficult than the items on the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA)
The ACCESS for ELLs and Alternate ACCESS for ELLs are English language proficiency assessments used to meet federal and state legislative requirements. These assessments are used to monitor English learners' progress as they develop academic language skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking. All English learners in grades K-12 in public schools are required to participate annually in an English language proficiency assessment.
Minnesota legislation requires districts to offer the ACT + Writing test to juniors during the school day in the spring of their junior year at no cost to families. The ACT scores will be part of the student's official ACT record and can be provided to colleges at no cost.
To meet ACT test administration rules, testing our juniors will require building-wide use of WHS. Students in grades 9, 10, and 12 will not report to school on April 7, 2020. These students are expected to work on academics from home. View the District 833 information announcement regarding this day.
On test day, students in grades 10-11 will report to their advisor at
the beginning of the day. Your advisory most likely will NOT be held in
your usual room. Room assignments will be posted by advisor in the
hallways starting Monday, October 14. Please check this room assignment list before test day!

I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about Bald New World because a) the premise seemed a little silly and b) it takes balls to reference Aldous Huxley so strongly, and those balls could be either stupid or awesome.
Turns out it was a courageous leap, but it paid off. I didn't even have to drink my way through this book, it was that good. Liu has clearly taken for inspiration some of my favorite writers, including Philip K. Dick, Haruki Murakami, and definitely a splash of Aldous Huxley, and produced something that is not deformed love-child but well-crafted awesomeness.
The only one of my preconceptions I stand by is that the premise is a bit silly. I remain convinced that if everyone in the world were to lose their hair, life would go on much as usual and we would adapt and adjust. Going by the actions of balding middle aged-men, if anything the purchasing of sportcars would increase exponentially and premature mid-life crises would become more popular – but that doesn't exactly mean the end of society as we know it. Just more dickbag drivers. But I digress.
Liu struck this excellent balance between mystery, intriguing dystopian world, and Murakami-esque philosophy, and it just works. It just works so well, you guys. This is the first book from an emerging author I've read in a long time where I felt thrilled, like the book could truly capture and enchant me and keep one step ahead of me. This is the first book I've read in awhile where I now want to go and read other things that the author has done, where I will look him up and see what else he's got to offer.
So what is so great about this book? Well, it's set in a cool Philip K. Dick-ish dystopian sci-fi world, so point one for that. And the characters are interesting, full-fledged, flawed, and have a grainy urban philosophical romanticism to them (can I fit any more adjectives??) that reminds me of Murakami's characters but are more active and less mopey than his. And while I don't think the plot itself is exactly perfect, it's written with such energy and talent that it's easy to forgive the flaws.
8/10 would recommend to pretty much anyone who enjoys reading good books. Bald New World was published on May 30th, 2014 and is available through Amazon.
(Note: I obtained this book as a free ARC.)

Association of Diving Centres and Maritime Activities
The Catalan coast has a great diversity of interesting places for diving. Although, due to its geomorphological characteristics (cliffs, rocky areas, canyons and caves) the Costa Brava is an emblematic place for practising this sport, we should not forget areas with a great tradition such as the Maresme region or points of interest such as La Punta de la Mora in Tarragona.
Our centres offer outings for all levels, courses and first dives. There are also snorkelling outings so that the entire family can enjoy the sea.

After the Makeup Wishlist posted last week (here) it is time to share the skincare bits that are on my wishlist for my trip to Italy over the Christmas holidays. The Italian skincare scene has been dominated by natural and "bio" brands that use natural and locally sourced ingredients to the best of their ability without compromising on the quality of their products. Again, some of these I couldn't resist picking up with the Cyber Monday deals, I'm a terrible person I know!
The first product I have tried was the Biofficina Toscana Siero Purificante, a purifying serum for combination and oily skin. It has a water-like consistency that absorbs immediately and uses sage, nettle and rosemary extracts to fight oil from breaking through during the day. I love it, have gone 2 bottles already and will keep repurchasing it at my every trip to Italy! From the same brand I want to try their Hydrolates, pure distillates from different herbs to be used pure or diluted on face, body or hair depending on the scope of treatment. The ones which most attract me are the Sage Hydrolate, specific for oily skin, it has a balancing effect, the Rosemary Hydrolate which purifies and tightens pores (without alcohol!). However, the other two Lavender and Cypress Hydrolates also promise great results. The idea behind buying these waters is to combine them in a rose water base to make a toner specific for my skin. I still don't know how to do this but I'd love to read up and try. Please comment below if you have any ideas!
The other brand I've heard good things about is Antos Cosmesi from which I would like to try the Astringent Toner, which contains sage and rosemary to tighten pores, and the Exfoliating Serum containing fruit-derived (lemon, grapefruit, tomato and blueberrry) alpha-hydroxy acids to gently exfoliate the skin without the need for any physical exfoliation.
This is all for the skincare part of my Italian beauty wishlist and gift guide. If you think there's anything else I should pick up, please let me know in the comments below (I'm talking to you Italian girls!).
Also, if you missed the first part of this post, the one on makeup, you can go take a look here.

E-Tax Wimp-Out
By Jennifer Kraft
Current e-tax regulations are here to stayfor at least another five years, that is.
In late April, the Advisory Commission on Electronic Commerce (ACEC) recommended that Congress extend the current moratorium barring "multiple and discriminatory taxation" of e-commerce. Then on May 10, 2000, the House passed legislation concurrent with the recommendation to extend the moratorium for an additional five years to October 2006 and to prohibit all taxes on Internet access.

For those one-place studiers who have taken a DNA test (or encouraged others with ancestral links to your place to do so), checking out who amongst your matches has someone in their family tree from your place will be top of the to-do list. However not all DNA testing websites have the ability to combine your DNA test with family tree data and report back on that aspect. It's great to see that MyHeritage has now added that feature:
"Shared Ancestral Places refer to towns, countries, or U.S. states that appear in your family tree as well as in the family trees of your DNA Matches, where birth or death events of your ancestors (and those of your DNA Matches' ancestors) took place...If you and a DNA Match have a Shared Ancestral Place, you will be armed with more information to investigate the match further. You may be able to determine which common ancestor you and your match share from whom you both inherited the same DNA segments."
This is really crucial information for one-place studiers! If you tested with MyHeritage, or have uploaded your test results from elsewhere to their website, make sure you also have uploaded your tree so you get the benefit of this new feature, and take a look to see if there are any happy surprises in your Shared Ancestral Places.

Life of a Nursing Student: Here's What to Expect at Nursing School22 July 2019
Nursing can make for a great career and educational pursuit for the right person. If you've decided you're that right person, you may be curious as to the life of a nursing student. Such knowledge can better prepare you for the road and years ahead, which can go a long way toward success and satisfaction. Here is what to expect at nursing school.
Clinical Rotations Don't Start at Day One
One of the first things to make yourself aware of is that, depending on your specific program, you likely won't have clinical rotations your first semester. Instead, you can expect to be immersed in concept courses that provide you with a solid foundation on which you can learn how to take the best care of your patients. Nursing classes are designed to teach you about medical terminology, the history of nursing and how to apply nursing theory.
The Life of a Nursing Student Is About Balance and Management
If you don't already have solid time management skills, now is the perfect time to change that. Specifically, you'll have to balance your personal life/obligations, classes, family and friends. There's even a chance that you may hold down a job while attending nursing school. Be prepared to make the most of every minute and second of the day, prioritizing what's most important in both your academic and personal life.
To help with this, let your family and friends know you'll be busy with nursing school for the next few years and may not be as present in their lives as you'd like to be. In school, set yourself up for success by being well-prepared for your classes, studying whenever you have a free minute and letting your teachers know when there's something you don't understand. Additionally, use a detailed calendar to keep track of assignments, exam dates, study sessions and the like. It's also good to schedule time to relax to avoid burnout.
You Will Likely Feel Overwhelmed
There's a lot to take in when it comes to nursing school and learning how to survive nursing school. It's okay to feel overwhelmed and stressed, just make sure you take steps to address those feelings. This is an area resolved by proper time management, prioritizing and deprioritizing. Also, now is the perfect time to exercise your right to say, "no." While you may let family and friends know you're busy with nursing school, there may be some people in your life who insist on your time. Establish boundaries before anyone tries to overstep them.
Finally, it helps if you give yourself a break and realize you aren't going to do everything perfectly while in nursing school. Rather than aim for perfection, aim for improving, being a little bit better than you were the day before. Learn how to extract opportunities and lessons from perceived "failures." Although at times your schooling may feel overwhelming, it can be very rewarding to have long term goals and stay positive about the career you are pursuing.
Nursing Students Often Spend Money Out of Pocket
Not only is nursing school hard, but you may have some out of pocket expenses. Note that you have to buy medical supplies and nursing scrubs, and pay licensure exam fees. One thing to bear in mind with medical supplies and scrubs is that you can use them once you've graduated and started your career.
For that reason, it's best to opt for high-quality scrubs and equipment that will last you for years to come. Consider starting a savings account specifically for nursing school expenses, and keep an eye on your budget to avoid overspending or going without necessary items.
There's a Lot of Reading Involved
Of course, you expect a lot of reading when enrolled in higher education, but nursing school can take that expectation to an entirely new level. Do your best to avoid getting behind on class readings, even by just a few pages. When you keep up with readings, it becomes easier to keep up in class, and it's easier to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
For chapters or sections that prove more intimidating than others, space them out so you can devour them in small bites. Once you're done with them, take out some time to go back and review them at a later date to keep the information fresh in your mind and make it easier to make connections with new, connected information. Finding and participating in study groups is also a great way to break down and gain a deeper understanding of confusing information.
You're Better Off Focusing on Your Comprehension Rather Than Your Grades
The best way to determine how well you're doing in any academic program is going by your grades, right? With nursing school, it's more beneficial to concentrate on how well you comprehend the material rather than your grades. This doesn't mean you shouldn't try to make good grades, just that even great students get Bs and Cs. As long as you understand the material and can think about it critically, you're on the right track.
Think you have a good grasp of what nursing school is like? It may seem challenging, but we can assure you it's worth it. If you're still undecided about becoming a nurse, check out this post: Should I Be a Nurse? Get Help Deciding Your Career Path, or you can contact us at Pioneer Pacific College if you have any questions.

I understand all of your well-argued points and agree. I enjoyed the film on the big-screen to some degree and couldn't sit still thru its DVD-on-TV. A fly was buzzing around. A cloud passed thru the sky. I heard wind. ANYTHING was a distraction from this first Re-Watching, and that says a LOT. "Just can't hold my interest without paying for it and driving to the theater."
There is one worthwhile counterpoint. Growing up with George 'Typecast' Reeves, I appreciate any Comic-Book-Character actor stretching out and doing anything else.
And in this case, "Anything Else" takes Downey way out there as a limit to my patience. ReWatching, to me, is a critical point for a film's worthiness. It will be a long LONG time before I pop this into the DVD player again, which isn't a good sign.

Yeah Guy Richie is synonimus with style over content. I think Weavermans succinct summary said it all.
By the way love the ' new frontier' heading; Darwyn Cooke at his best

Dude, you had me going there for a second. Then you said it was 'pure shit' and I promptly breathed a sigh of relief.
This is one of the worst films I have seen in a while and yes, Van Helsing comes to mind. Then again, there was 2012.
When the wife said she enjoyed this movie, I could feel a piece of my soul die.
I mean, did they have to slowly play out an action moment with Downey bear narrating over it just to play it out two seconds later?!

Backing off infinitesimally from their outrageous actions in the name of "good faith," Wisconsin Republicans have dropped the fines levied against Democrats who left the state and will actually allow them to do the jobs they were elected to do by now counting their votes. But they used such a grossly inappropriate analogy that they look like even bigger idiots than before.

Business has a lot of different aspects to it which is why people's answer differs.
For a lot, the focus really is on the core offer or core product and then let everything else flow from than.
And for those looking for growth, the focus is on lead generation and client acquisition.
For those looking to make a name, the focus is on branding and marketing.
While for those who rely on people to be able to scale, the focus is on human resources.
Many different focuses and for small businesses, entrepreneurs and startup founders, these tend to fall on the soulders of one or a few only.
And that can be stressful and tiring.
Two of the best ways to help out really would be through automation and delegation.
And this is true for a lot of the businesses that I work with.
I operate basically as their marketing arm to help them generate leads and sales while they focus on the other aspects of their business which is most important to them right now.
We do this through Facebook ads.
Facebook ads allow us to set up automated lead-generating campaigns that also help qualify them before making an offer.
I've helped many small businesses with their growth through Facebook ads whether it's me doing it for them or me teaching them how to do it.
If you want to learn how Facebook ads can help you generate more leads and sales and allow you more time to focus on where you're best at, I invite you to our Facebook Ads Workshop this year
