Automatically detecting neighbourhood constraint interactions using Comet

Local Search has been shown to be capable of producing high quality solutions in a variety of hard constraint and optimisation problems. Typically implementing a Local Search algorithm is done in a problem specic manner. In the last few years a variety of approaches have emerged focussed on easing the implementation and creating a clean separation between the algorithm and problem. We present a system which can deduce information about the interactions between problem constraints and the search neighbourhoods whilst maintaining a loose coupling between these components. We apply this technique to the International Timetabling Competition instances and show an implementation expressed in Comet.

New and Used Toyota RAV4 for Sale Philippines | Toyota RAV4 Price List 2019
More cargo room than a sedan? Check. Excellent visibility regardless of driver height? You got it. Easy to drive and park? Yes. Sips fuel like a mouse? You can tick that off the checklist as well. Add all-wheel-drive and an elegant design to that equation and you get a car that wears many hats—all of them equally functional and stylish. That's the RAV4 for you.
The Toyota RAV4 debuted in Japan and Europe in 1994 and in North America the following year. At that time, the needs of the car-buying public were changing rapidly, and SUVs and compact cars were all the rage. To bridge the gap between these two popular models, Toyota decided to build the first generation Toyota RAV4. Needless to say, the experiment proved a resounding success. The widespread triumph of the early RAV4s paved the way for other compact crossover SUVs such as the Subaru Forester and Ford Escape. Together with the Suzuki Grand Vitara, the second-generation RAV4 reached Philippine shores in year 2000, but it was only a distant second to the more popular Honda CR-V in terms of sales that year. Nevertheless, despite being second best, the Toyota RAV4 can always hold its own against any other crossover SUV it's pitted against.
RAV4 stands for Recreational Active Vehicle with 4-Wheel Drive. The name actually no longer applies to the current RAV4 models, as there are now 4x2 and all-wheel drive variants available. Still, people can expect the latest RAV4 to proudly exemplify what the vehicle has long been known for since day one: spaciousness, sportiness, high maneuverability, fuel efficiency, and more.

After successfully surviving some legal issues, we thought the company was good to go in fighting a hopeless battle against wireless HD upstart AMIMON. Now, it seems that WHDI (that's AMIMON's magic) is free to take the market by storm, but only time will tell if wireless HD is even remotely close to mainstream. In one sense, we're sad to see competition die, but on the other hand, it's always good to see fruitless format wars fade away. Don't be too down on yourself, TZero -- it's not like anyone really had high expectations for you or anything.

Our dog Gypsy jumps over and around himself with joy when we come home. He fetches the ball, comes for head pats, and runs in circles while holding a leaf (his sign of happiness). He's now shared with the neighbor: when the husband went on a trip, the wife let Gypsy indoors and he hangs out there at least half of the time. Happy dog.
We spent last night in Singapore with friends who become more dear with every visit - in Indonesia or Singapore. Claudia made supper for her kids and the three came with us to Tampines Mall. The kids were happy to finish up their meal with a McDonald ice cream. A good Chinese Dim Sum was still serving upstairs at 8, so we three adults had that.
I forget to take pictures - we love the family and the kids are so much fun. We walk through the grocer at the mall and pick up brown sugar (for movie night baking), a liter of good olive oil, and red Thai rice that we can't get in Bandung. (Our friends here love that full-flavored rice.)
You can buy "any" food in Singapore. Since cultures blend here, most grocers carry Indian, Malay, Chinese, and Expat preferences. We fill the remaining kilograms of our carry-on luggage with the food purches and hope for the best at check-in tomorrow.
This morning (Saturday), J and C offer us a tasty breakfast of rolls, yogurt, and fruit. It's a precious time to hear and share vision for the future.
No trouble at the airport! Whew. I purchased a few baby orchid plants in Thailand and am worried that customs might not like that.
"You can't take those into the United States," cautioned the duty-free clerk in Bangkok airport, glancing at my new USA passport. However, since the orchids are inspected and sealed by the Thai authorities, they are accepted without question in Singapore and Bandung.
The Bandung airport has been completely revamped. Its lone baggage conveyer spits out our luggage without a problem. We get a Visa on Arrival, good until we have to leave to teach next week, get checked through immigration, and then stroll past customs, handing our form to the security guard.
We flag a taxi after wandering around a bit to find the new location of the taxi stand. The driver is chatty and enjoys talking to W, who is becoming fluent enough for basic conversation.
W leads the life group - they are enthusiastic learners of scripture and give him a warm welcome. It's the Sabbath: I rest up most of the day and don't check items off a list or "accomplish" anything. We have a busy week behind us and another coming up. Thanks to God, the only One who gives his people a rest instead of demanding more and more of his people (whether sacrifices, duties, or obligations).
The group at the house studies the resurrection of Jesus. Some of our discussion revolves around the question: "Was Jesus really dead on the cross?" Scripture records a similar question by authorities at the time, since they feared a scam.
- Pilate sends the Roman centurion to confirm, not wanting there to be an escape or deception.
"He's dead!" says this military leader. He has nothing to gain: he could be penalized or killed for lying. He's credible, too. By the time he becomes a centurion, he's not a novice: he and his soldiers have probably crucified a lot of criminals for Rome.
|Orchids drape from a trellls and drip off the walls
- The highest Jewish leaders bribe the soldiers to lie about the resurrection. They promise to protect the soldiers from retaliation: normally solders would be severely punished for an escape. They wouldn't make up the story on their own.
- The amount of detail, told from several points of view in the gospels, is typical of historical eye-witness accounts. (If the Bible were a secular book by Plato or Josephus, the details would be taken as fact - resistance to biblical accounts is usually philosophical, not scholarly.)
- Jewish myths would put men, not women, at the center of the story as eye-witnesses. (Women and slaves were not considered credible witnesses in that culture.) Yet God chooses women as the first to know about the resurrection of Jesus. An angel instructs the women to tell Jesus' disciples that he has risen. (Interesting.)
I'm working on the class that lies ahead. Finally, the unruly bits begin to stick together. I feel almost ready to pass along the information.
Katie, Laura, and Kaitlyn come from Jakarta. We pick them up from the train station and go for a late lunch at Porto. The restaurant serves Indonesian food and Western-ish options at a reasonable price.
We sit outside under the orchids and vines. The food is good - we haven't been there for a long time since it's on another hill. We talk about faith and work, while the servers eavesdrop to catch English words. We encourage the students to pray wherever they go. God cares for the poor and needy, and makes himself known to those who seek him.
|Who is the little girl? We don't know.
This youngster sneaks into our photo
The two interns are heading back to the States soon. "Would you like to do a bit of outlet shopping?"
Oh yes they would, having been primed about Bandung by Jakarta friends. Even the most reluctant of shoppers - you know who you are, Katie, haha - find gifts for friends and clothing and enjoy the tropical setting.
I'm ready for sleep, reading devotions before clicking off. The green notification bar keeps popping up: W is updating our phone and data. I should have shut off notifications: they jerk my system into alert so that I lie awake until 2:30am.
|Happy trails to yoooou!
We're up at 6:30. We played yesterday and so we'll work and work out today. We walk with the regular walking buddies. It's a lovely jungle path (4.5 miles / 7 km) in the hills above Bandung. Gypsy is delighted to be off leash and so am I - it's the first time in 4 months that I'm home for a Thursday walk.
The monkeys chatter overhead, scolding Gypsy who dashes up and down the hillsides to bark at the base of their trees. The wind ruffles the tall palm fronds and shuffles the enormous leaves on either side of us. It's peaceful. Perfect.
|Katie climbs the tree roots (from one tree)
|Bridges over waterfalls
|A small but happy group study
Today we read Genesis 47, marveling at Joseph's wisdom in politics, people management, and resources. What a gifted leader - but he wouldn't have been in place to save Egypt or his own family if he'd been faithless. He endured desperate times (the jealous hatred of his brothers, being sold into slavery, and false accusations that got him thrown into prison). Wow.
We drop Katie and her interns off at an English learning center. The liaison person is not there and the attendees are not sure who the gals are ... or if they're trustworthy. They talk and look around: would this be a helpful place for future volunteers?
I make a quick supper for W and me and pack my suitcases. Computer. Cables. Thumb drive. Notes. Oh yes, clothes. I'm traveling light: W isn't along with his tech gear, which can be bulky. I bake a loaf of bread and the house smells like a bakery.
W drives into town to pick up Katie's crew. They stop at Setiabudi, the biggest grocer for expats, to buy gifts for sponsors. They also pick up bags of Aroma Coffee beans, roasted in Bandung after the beans are sundried and then cured for 8 years. It smells so good.
They bring home a late supper of pizza and by the time we finish talking, it's 10. We fall into bed about 11:30. And this time, I sleep soundly.
I'm up before the alarm at 4:40. Katie is also awake, cheerful with her first cup of coffee as she sits on the deck. "I've found my favorite spot and it's so peaceful," she sighs, comparing the quiet to Jakarta's constant din. She'll be back to visit in a few weeks.
|The view from the airplane door in Bandung
Look left and right when crossing the taxiway
The driver returns to the house for the women: they need to be dropped at the train station for a 10:30 trip. Meanwhile, W meets with his Friday regulars.
My flights - 2 hours to Singapore, a 3 hour layover, and a few hours to the Philippines are uneventful. I have to do some online training for an adjunct faculty position. I most of the two courses online in the Singapore airport.
Friday night, Manilla - with all its cars - flees to the countryside. We leave the airport before 7pm, so we're in traffic with everyone else. It takes 4 hours to leave the city and over 7 hours (total for 250km or 150 miles) to reach the seminary. The driver's wife is texting him as we drive on the highway. I ask if we need to pull over.
"No, she is texting but I cannot reply." He can only read what she writes? haha He gives us trying to text back after that.
He's a good driver. Sure, he passes semi-trucks on hairpin turns, swings wide in the lanes, and is sleepy. That's not out of the ordinary in SE Asia. He cranks up last year's pop from his Iphone playlist - I know most of it. Off and on, I ask a question to see if he's still awake. If one is inclined to carsickness or fearful, this would be hair-raising. But I have a good book I've been dying to finish. I close the last page before a final half-hour of switchbacks on the mountain road. The school sits 5300 feet (1630 meters) above sea level.
By the time our ID is sorted by security and the seminary gates swing open, it's 2:30am. I have instructions not to pay the driver. Oh oh, he says someone has forgotten to leave his fee envelope, but I explain that the school will reimburse him.
He drives me to the apartment, where he and a watchman hand me a key and bring my suitcase to the room. They disappear into the night. I sure hope he didn't drive back right away ...
|Beautiful Baguio
Sweet dreams ... until 9:00. I work until noon. The college has left fruit and bread in the room for breakfast. I'm busy until lunch, enjoying the quiet and calm, so I skip breakfast altogether.
Outside my window, the view across the valley is stunning. The temperatures are cool, the skies overcast. "We had 20 minutes of rain yesterday," the driver had said. It rains every day; lightning was flashing across the skies as we ascended the hill last night.
Back in Bandung, W picks up two guests from Holland. She's Gypsy's first owner - and W says the dog goes crazy when she walks in the gate. Hurrah! Lucky boy.

Gearing Up for the Home Stretch
As the semester winds down and exams begin, it can be tempting to take your foot off the gas pedal. But that'd be a mistake, as this is the time of year when you should be putting in the most effort.
Just Do It
Motivating yourself to study isn't some magical process, it's just something you do. Studying isn't fun or enjoyable, but it is a means to an end, and it's up to you to decide how successful you want to be. Sitting down and getting the job done is what successful people do, and they understand that the greater the gain, the greater the sacrifice.
Drop the Self-Talk
People can talk themselves in or out of anything. You want to go that mixer instead of a study session? Go right ahead, but remember that every bit of studying you skip has a price that only gets higher. Be honest with yourself: are you in college to do well, or to have fun? It can't always be both, and the more you give yourself reasons that you can do everything, the more trouble you'll find yourself in.
Ask for Help
You're not the first person to find themselves losing steam near the end, and that's why colleges have programs designed to give you a leg up at precisely this point. Take advantage of writing centers, extended office hours, meeting with your TA, finding a tutor, spending more time at the library, and taking part in study sessions. The sooner you admit something has to change, the sooner you can get back on track.
Keep Your Eye on the Goal Line
Remind yourself that you've only got a few weeks left until you can exhale during the Christmas break. Just a few weeks of keeping up effort and trying hard, and then the time is yours. Circle the days on the calendar, count down how many classes and exams you have left, or anything else that works for you.
Fake it 'til You Make It
If you're not feeling motivated or wanting to study for the last exams of the semester, act like you do until you actually feel it. It's amazing how quickly the real feeling will come with just a little bit of coaxing.

I wanted to love this a lot more than I do. Sadly, I think it's going to end up in the blog sale box.
Pure Ice Iced Merlot is a dark reddish purpley jelly with a lot of shimmer. It's a lot darker than I expected. From the swatches I saw online before I bought it, I thought it was going to be more raspberry like. Reddish pink maybe. But this is what it looks like from my bottle. I wonder if I got a bad batch? I don't like it much and consequently I has a sad :(

Drinking Cleopatra's Tears is a book about the water cycle.
The book uses humorous and interesting examples of how water on Earth is recycled over time. It emphasizes the point that water is continuously recycled on Earth through the water cycle. Diagrams in the book highlight the different phase changes (evaporation, melting, condensation, freezing) that water goes through as it travels around the Earth and in the atmosphere.
This book helps students review and apply their growing knowledge of the water cycle, and adds an important dimension to their understanding—that water on Earth is not lost over time.

Seasonal books are always available, but I don't find myself caring too much about setting unless it is cold outside. Then, I want to read winter-themed books all about ice and snow.
It may be because Texas winters are so mild, but books about winter are always something I like to read after the holiday season. They are also perfect to read over winter vacation.
If you also like to read winter-themed books when it's cold out, check out this list. You'll find everything from children's literature to winter-themed horror.
<<Find more book lists here!>>
Scroll to the bottom of the post to add your bookish links to the Lit Lovers link up!
Winter-Themed Books to Read When It's Cold Outside
This collection of winter-themed books feature an amazing assortment of literature that goes beyond just a few flakes of snow. In many of these winter books, winter is essential to the plot and entire feel of the story.
The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is one of my favorite winter-themed books. I love this story. I first read this story when I was about 10 years old, and I've read it many times sense. It the perfect blend of magic and possibility and I enjoy revisiting this story most winters.
The Golden Compass
I read The Golden Compass as an adult, so it didn't feel quite as magical to me as The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, but it still captures the feeling of cruel winter and epic adventures. I prefer reading sweeping, epic adventures when I read winter-themed books, which makes this a perfect fit.
If I Stay
If I Stay is quite sad. It is essential a melancholy teen romance novel. Although I didn't really like the movie (somehow movies highlight depression without redeeming joy), I really loved the book. The writing perfectly captures the feeling of winter and I love the color contrasts in the descriptions.
I haven't read Trapped, but it looks like the perfect wintertime read. What happens when teens are snowed in at a school for an extended period? How would they survive? I like winter survivalist stories, so I'm adding this book to my list.
Let It Snow
If you are a fan of John Green's books, then you will definitely want to read Let It Snow. This book is a collection of three winter-themed YA romances from popular YA authors including John Green.
Stone Mattress
Only the story called Alphinland is winter-themed in Stone Mattress, but Margaret Atwood is such an excellent writer you can't go wrong reading the other stories alongside the book about winter.
The Woman in White
I'm not sure how much of this story is a winter-themed book, but it has everything I like to read during the winter. The Woman in White is a classic Victorian Gothic story, and one I'll be adding to my list of books to read in the winter.
A Song of Ice and Fire
All of the books in A Song of Ice and Fire have some winter, but from what I remember, A Feast for Crows has the most winter-themed content. Everything about the night's watch, the white walkers (or Others, as they are usually called in the books), and the Wall make perfect shivery winter reading. It also adds in just a bit of horror, which is ideal for winter-themed books.
Labyrinths is a creepy book filed with short stories that will chill the spine. Fans of classic psychological horror should enjoy this book.
Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow
With a name like Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow, you know this book is all about winter. This winter-themed fantasy is slightly influenced by the Beauty and the Beast, and will transport you to a magical land of adventure and fur-lined boots.
Winter's Tale
I have yet to read Winter's Tale, but the premise has made me add this to my TBR pile pronto. Aside from the strange-sounding love affair between an old man and a girl (hopefully they mean she is a young woman), it sounds like an enchanting story that will haunt you long after you read it.
The Dark is Rising
The The Dark Is Rising series is based around ancient Celtic and Nordic folklore and reads like a semi-modern retelling of the King Arthur story. If you love diving into stories about ancient religions and secret doorways between worlds that tingle the spine, you won't want to miss this series. The first book is set mainly in the winter. And if you've seen the movie, don't let that stop you from reading the book.
The Shining
I actually didn't know that The Shining was a book set in winter, but since it is, I'm adding it to my list of winter-themed books. I haven't read much horror in my life, but I think I'm ready to dive into some- at least stories that are psychological in nature. I don't care as much for hack and slash stories.

Travel to Almería
Almería Airport (LEI)
Almería Airport has frequent connections to Madrid (Iberia) and almost daily ones to Barcelona (Vueling). It also has flights to other European airports such as London–Gatwick, Amsterdam, Brussels, etc.
You can check all destinations and airlines at the Wikipedia page about the airport or in this unofficial airport page that contains the days the flights happen(L=Monday, M=Tuesday, X=Wednesday, J=Thusday, V=Friday, S=Saturday, D=Sunday).
Once you are at the airport you can go to the city:
Málaga Airport (AGP)
Málaga is the fourth busiest airport in Spain and thus has flights to most of major European airports and some non-European ones (Montreal, New York, Casablanca, Tel Aviv).
You can check all the destinations at the Wikipedia page about the airport.
How to arrive from Málaga Airport to Almería
Direct bus
There's two daily direct buses operated by ALSA, a non stop one that takes around 3h and one with two stops that takes 3.5 hours.
You can get a ticket by using the ALSA web page and filling in Almeria as destination (you may want to click the "switch destinations" icon since it defaults to from "somewhere" to Málaga Airport and most probably you want it the other way around.
Bus to Málaga and then a train or bus to Almería
There's a bus service available that links Málaga Airport with Málaga, and it stops both at the main bus station and train station of Málaga.
There are many daily direct ALSA buses from Málaga to Almería, taking between 3 and 5 hours depending on the intermediate stops.
There are no direct trains between Málaga and Almería, you have to transfer at the Antequera-Santa Ana station. Travel time is around 30 minutes between Málaga-María Zambrano and Antequera-Santa Ana and 4 hours between Antequera-Santa Ana and Almería. You can check train timetables at Renfe website.
Please understand that both Renfe and ALSA tickets are for the time you bought them so make sure you will be able to make it on time to the station (i.e. if you buy a ticket for 18:00 it will not be valid for the 19:00 train/bus).
There are several people that offer car pool rides between different points of Málaga (some including the airport) to Almería. BlaBlaCar is one of the companies that offers such a service.
By taxi
This may sound crazy, but there are several companies offering transfer between the Málaga Airport and Almería (185€, 220€) so if you pool with 4 people, it is not that expensive and travel time is around 2 hours.

Woman Kidnapped And Tied To A Tree By Her Boyfriend
On a chilly night in December of 2013, Sophie Lazell, 26, was falling asleep.
"I was just nodding off when I heard a crashing noise," she told the Mirror.
She then heard her boyfriend, Daniel Jones, demanding to know where she was. Lazell had spent the day with Jones, but he had grown angry when she said she wanted to spend the night alone.
"I got up and found Daniel wielding a metal bar. He had smashed the TV. He said, 'Come with me.'
"Then my mum appeared, and my kids came out of their room."
Terrified, Lazell offered to run away with Jones. He grabbed her by the hair and dragged her to his car as she assured her children everything would be okay.
Jones drove Lazell to an abandoned quarry in Hampshire, United Kingdom, and demanded she take her pajama pants off. He used them to tie her to a tree."He said, 'That's what happens to whores,' and then forced me to strip completely."
Before driving away, Jones told Lazell, "There's a hole dug for you."
After a time, Lazell made her escape, running through horses' fields for an hour before finding help.
Lazell escaped with only cuts and bruises, and Jones was arrested four weeks later. He pleaded guilty to kidnapping, and in August he was sentenced to 20 months in prison, in addition to a five-year restraining order.
However, the psychological wounds have taken their toll. Lazell has since moved from her home to an undisclosed location in the UK and was deeply anxious after the attack.
"Before, I'd had lots of friends and enjoyed going out on the town," she said. "After I didn't know who to trust and was scared to even pop out for a bottle of milk.
"I only left the house at certain times of the day when I thought town would be quiet and I was on the red alert when I did. I suffered anxiety attacks and had nightmares."
Still, Lazell hopes her experience will encourage other women to leave abusive relationships. Prior to the attack, Jones was never physically abusive, but he was possessive and constantly accused her of cheating on him.
"Walk out on physically violent, emotionally and mentally abusive partners," she said. "I learned the hard way that you shouldn't brush things under the carpet.
"Please, get out, before things turn ugly."

Christmas at the YC
Christmas Eve was celebrated with a quiet evening at the Yacht Club bar visiting with several other cruisers as is usual most evenings. Then it was early to bed to be ready for the big cooking day on Christmas Day.
Christmas Day, Shirley, Wind Song, and I went to the YC early to get two large turkeys stuffed and into the oven so that they would be ready for the early afternoon cruiser's potluck. (A large ham had been cooked Christmas Eve and was already sliced and ready to reheat after the birds came out of the oven.) We then took turns the rest of the morning babysitting the birds as they cooked. When it came time to eat, Bill did the turkey carving in the now very hot kitchen.
It was all worth the effort when the food was served as everyone enjoyed a great meal. The cruisers all did themselves out to bring yummy special dishes for the occasion to go with the turkey and ham.
After everyone had their fill we ended the gathering with a gift exchange. Bill unwrapped a mug full of candy but it was soon taken by another cruiser and he picked another gift but that too was taken by another cruiser. Bill finally got to keep the third gift that he unwrapped.

Beauty junkies, are you looking to get your hands on some more makeup secrets? Celebrity makeup artist extraordinaire Robert Jones has some great tips on creating dramatic, deep-set eyes this week.
It's all about stepping out from the beauty pack and being different. Start with concealing any dark spots on your eyelids, but keep the lid light to bring out the eye's natural beauty, Jones tells us. Awesome beauty trick!
Then, set your lids with powder. It's a great way to offset the concealer for an already lush layered look. Apply a light color shadow on the lid to make your eyes pop for an extra beauty boost.
Make sure to go back over the highlighted shade with more powder. Jones loves mixing a shimmer and matte shade for a more opaque finish.
And ladies, drawn out eyelashes and mascara are a key part of this look, so get to curling and applying. Drama is a good thing when it comes to this look.
For more on perfecting a face with covetable chic eyes, check out the how-to. Tell us how your are primpering your peepers tonight in the comments section below!

With six million people and a gross domestic product of $25 billion, its per capita GDP is $4,100 – not bad for a country generally considered poor by international standards. In the region, only Costa Rica does much better. El Salvador's ...

Implementation Strategies
View a selection of implementation strategies from educators who are successfully using ALEKS to achieve dramatic learning outcomes.
St. Edward School, Diocese of Little Rock
Little Rock, AR
Grade(s): K - 8
Scenario: Computer Lab, Home Access
Purpose: Intervention, Enrichment/Gifted and Talented, After-School, Summer School
ALEKS Portion of Curriculum: 25%
Time Spent in ALEKS: 2 hours per week, 24.75 hours per term
ALEKS Course: Mathematics - LV 3 (with QuickTables), Mathematics - LV 4 (with QuickTables), Mathematics - LV 5 (with QuickTables), Middle School Math Course 2, Middle School Math Course 3, Algebra Readiness
Patricia James, Resource & Title I Teacher
Our school's experience with ALEKS has been amazing! We are a small school with a diverse student population. We have a Title I program, but we also have students who excel and are ready to be challenged above grade-level. ALEKS is a program that benefits everyone! Initially, we completed a three-month pilot for the first semester. As a side note, I commend ALEKS for offering such a long pilot program. Even though ALEKS is intuitive, it still takes time and effort to become proficient. The generous time allowance gives ample time for students to become indoctrinated so that they can see results. Our teachers, parents, and students have been so impressed with the program that we purchased it for the second semester. We are now using it in our Title I Summer Program. In addition, 15 families purchased the extended summer plan to use ALEKS at home. Because our school is small, we have been able to implement ALEKS in grades 3-8. On our end-of-the-year standardized testing, 67 percent of participating students went up in math at an average of seven percentile points per student. The most dramatic gains were with our seventh and eighth graders who improved an average of 13.7 and 13.9 percentile points, respectively. One third grade student went up an amazing 59 percentile points! Three students finished two ALEKS courses, and ten students finished one ALEKS course or made above a 90 percent on their final ALEKS assessment. For our first year using ALEKS, we are very proud!
What challenges did the class or school face in math prior to using ALEKS?
Our goal as a school is to have all students excel in math. Not only do we want to provide appropriate intervention for students who are behind or struggle, we also want to provide an enrichment opportunity for those students who are ready and motivated to work ahead. ALEKS is a program that meets the needs of any student.
How many days per week is class time dedicated to ALEKS?
1 day per week.
What is the average length of a class period when ALEKS is used?
45 minutes.
How do you implement ALEKS?
Our third grade classrooms use ALEKS as reinforcement, but for no grade. The upper grade levels (grades 4-8) use a quarterly assessment as a test grade. Next year, all students will receive quarterly assessment grades and will also receive points based on the number of topics they master.
Do you cover ALEKS concepts in a particular order?
ALEKS topics are covered in the order of our textbook.
How do you structure your class period with ALEKS?
Class periods are structured by which groups of students are being served. Regular classes go to the computer lab once per week for 45 minutes to work on ALEKS, with the classroom teacher and the resource teacher circulating through the lab helping students. Students are also assigned to work on ALEKS at home for another two hours per week. Our Title I students get an additional 45 minutes per week in the resource room. Afterschool tutoring students receive an additional one hour per week, and summer school students work on ALEKS for one hour per day, five days per week.
How did you modify your regular teaching approach as a result of ALEKS?
Teachers cover math objectives during the week and the students then work on the corresponding ALEKS topics on the days where ALEKS is used in the computer lab. Once they complete these topics, students are free to explore other topics of their choosing.
How often are students required or encouraged to work on ALEKS at home?
Students are encouraged to work on ALEKS for two hours per week at home.
How do you cultivate parental involvement and support for ALEKS?
We send home a parent letter and hold mandatory conferences with all parents at nine weeks into the term. We discuss ALEKS progress at the conferences. ALEKS progress is also noted in monthly newsletters that are sent home.
Is ALEKS assigned to your students as all or part of their homework responsibilities? If so, what part of the total homework load is it?
In the future, ALEKS will be part of their homework. Students will be expected to do ALEKS at home for 30 minutes, four days per week.
How do you incorporate ALEKS into your grading system?
Every teacher does their breakdown a little differently, but ALEKS is typically about 25 percent of a student's grade.
Do you require students to make regular amounts of progress in ALEKS?
Progress depends on the ALEKS course the students are enrolled in, since each course has a different amount of topics. Basically, on the quarterly assessments, 25 percent of a student's pie needs to be completed by the end of the first nine weeks, then 50 percent completed by the end of the semester, followed by 75 percent completed by the third nine-week period, and finally 100 percent completed by the end of the year. The grading scale changes according to the time period. For example, for the first nine weeks, an "A" is 20-25 percent completion; a "B" is 15-19 percent completion; and so on. For the end-of-year period, an "A" is 90-100 percent completion; a "B" is 80-89 percent completion; and so on.
Learning Outcomes
Since using ALEKS, please describe the learning outcomes or progress you have seen.
Since using ALEKS, we have had 21 students improve their standardized test scores in math by 20 percentile points or more. Students have told me that they are no longer afraid of math, nor do they dread the subject anymore – in fact, they feel more confident! Students now finish their math work more quickly and with higher rates of accuracy. Teachers have also said it is common to hear, "Oh, I've already done that in ALEKS!" when they tell students what the lesson objective is for that day.
Best Practices
Are there any best practices you would like to share with other teachers implementing ALEKS?
Make it fun, keep things upbeat, encourage students, and motivate them any way possible! During the year, we announce students' names on the intercom as they finish their pies and they receive a Math Medal. At the end of the year, we hold a Pie Party for students that complete their pie or make a 90 percent or above on their final assessment. We eat pizza and cookie pies! For the finale, students get to "pie" the teacher of their choosing if they complete their ALEKS Pie. This year, we had about 12 percent of the participating students get to do this!

I have updated my proposal for Supplementary Characters in ECMAScript [1] based on the feedback on the es-discuss@ mailing list [2] and the TC 39 meeting in March [3]. This updated version generally reflects the consensus reached at the meeting, but provides more detail. Changes are listed in the Updates section. The proposal keeps UTF-16 as the encoding for source text and String values in ECMAScript, but updates the specification of functionality that interprets them to do so based on an interpretation as code points, thus enabling support for the full Unicode character set. In the case of regular expressions, this requires the introduction of a new Unicode mode. There's one change from what was previously discussed: We had discussed using full Unicode case folding in the Unicode mode of regular expressions, including mappings that map a single code point to a sequence of code points, such as "ß" -> "ss". In trying to integrate this into the spec, I found that Unicode Technical Standard 18, Unicode Regular Expressions [4], doesn't completely specify the interpretation of such mappings, for example in character classes. I therefore reverted to simple Unicode case folding for now, and provided feedback to the Unicode Consortium requesting clarification. To those on public-script-coord@ but not on es-discuss@, my apologies for not keeping you in the loop after the first round of discussions in February/March. I'll try to pay more attention to this list in the future. Best regards, Norbert [1] http://norbertlindenberg.com/2012/05/ecmascript-supplementary-characters/index.html [2] https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/es-discuss/2012-March/thread.html#21620 [3] https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/es-discuss/2012-March/thread.html#21919 [4] http://unicode.org/reports/tr18/#Default_Loose_MatchesReceived on Wednesday, 9 May 2012 07:23:52 UTC

Security systems that enhance employee safety are essential, especially during these challenging economic times when business people are desperate to retain valued employees and make sure that they have a safe and secure work environment.
In all companies the most valuable asset is the high performance employee. Human resources are the heart of every successful organization, and your people deserve to be protected in their workplace. If an employee is threatened, injured, or falls sick on the job a high quality security system can get them the emergency help they need in a hurry, before an unfortunate incident expands into a full-blown catastrophe. Maybe there is a fire or a carbon monoxide leak in the building that can be instantly detected with the right kind of security system. Or perhaps there is an unruly or menacing intruder intent on threatening or harming an employee. A security alert can send police to the rescue in the nick of time to avert a tragedy.
Enjoy the protection and peace of mind of your own customized monitoring and alert system. You'll soon see why more Americans are installing them in their businesses to promote staff safety and increase the morale and loyalty of employees.

Powell River is a mixed-up little place.
It has been a mill town since the early 1900s and the mill is still a major employer in the community. In fact, a picture of the mill is still proudly displayed on the "Welcome to Powell River" sign.
As the gateway to Desolation Sound, one of the most beautiful marine parks in the world, Powell River is also a bustling summer tourist destination. Lots of young families have moved here for the outdoor lifestyle and the relatively inexpensive real estate and it's also a popular retirement community.
Also in residence are a branch of the Coast Salish peoples, who lived here long before Europeans "discovered" the new world.
Powell River is not sure if it is a town that time forgot, a cozy bedroom community, or an up-and-coming travel hotspot. Fancy spas, expensive boutiques, and trendy restaurants rub shoulders with old time barber shops and butchers.
Idyllic seaside homes sit comfortably across the street from rundown shacks.
It is a city of constant contrast, which as you'll know if you read My Five Acres regularly, is just the kind of thing I like.
Also, where else would you see this?
It's not a whale, but it's a pretty great sighting nonetheless.
I Ain't Missing You At All
Today was my official rest day. I took the ferry back to Vancouver Island and am camping within the city boundaries of Comox tonight. All told, my distance covered today was 17 nautical miles and about 20 km on Skaar.
(In case you missed it, yesterday I named my bike Skaar).
Canada's campgrounds are among the most impressive I've seen anywhere, except of course for Solar in Croatia.
Whether they are provincial parks or privately owned, the emphasis is on privacy, and each tent site is usually a little secluded from its neighbour. They also, unlike many campsites in Europe, boast such luxuries as trees, picnic tables, and covered areas for cooking when it rains. The campground I'm at tonight, Cape Lazo RV & Campground is a cut above, with a market, a playground, a pavilion, and bathrooms that rival a day spa.
Oh yeah, and there's campground-wide WiFi. I'm checking Facebook from my tent. If I'm camping basically in town anyway, I might as well have a little luxury, right?
Because I didn't have to struggle along on Skaar today I had more time to be aware of how acutely I miss Stephen. It's not for all the obvious reasons – like that he keeps the tent warm at night, does all the cooking, and carries half the gear. Really, I just miss having him here to share jokes and laugh at the things and people we encounter.
It's not exactly boring travelling by myself, but it's just not quite as fun. ♥

Milagai Podi (Idli Podi)
- Weight: 100 grams
- Milagai Podi, also known as Idli Podi or MolagaPodi or Gunpowder or idli chutney powder
- Ideal accompaniment with idlis and dosas alike
- Traditional recipe from Tamil Nadu
- Add some sesame (til) oil or ghee to the podi and use as a dip for dosas and idlis
- Shelf life of 6 months. Keep in a cool and dry place
Milagai (chili) Podi is a great example of culinary ingenuity. The arid central and southern regions of Tamil Nadu used water sparingly in cooking. A balanced meal was, however, never compromised upon. While dal and sambar came much later, the combination of lentils (protein) with cereals (carbohydrates) had established its importance. The chili also provided the much needed heat to balance the flavours. As a result, Milagai Podi developed as a seasoning to go with idlis, dosas and rice. Over time, mild spices got incorporated for additional flavour and Milagai Podi started winning hearts across Southern India. Today, every region has their own version of idli podi, with local influences. The use of Milagai Podi magically transforms a humble dish like idli or dosa into a melee of interesting flavours!
How to use Milagai Podi like a local:
1. Take desired quantity of Milagai Podi
2. Add some sesame (til) oil or a dollop of desi ghee
3. Mix well to form a paste
4. Use it as a dip with idli or apply on dosa
5. You can also mix it with rice along with ghee

Corylus maxima purpurea – hazel – red filbert
29 cm x 38 cm
I had seen the glorious colour of the leaves in springtime, and then in the autumn, I was amazed by the pink of the casings surrounding the nuts, so I wanted to paint the hazel as one of my submissions. It then took a year, as I slowly added the next stage of growth to the picture.
This is one of the four pieces I submitted to the Royal Horticultural Society, and which were considered to be of Silver Medal standard.

If you have a business where you are taking care of lawns in your community, or doing any type of landscaping, there are five tools that you absolutely need to have. You may believe that you only need a lawnmower and a weed eater, but there are several others that you should have at your disposal. It can sometimes be difficult to complete a job without all of the appropriate tools. Here are the top five any person in the lawn industry should have if they are currently offering their services and Springboro.
What Tools Should You Have?
The first tool is going to be the lawnmower. You should have at least two. There is always the possibility that one might break down. If you do have two, one should be a riding lawnmower, and the other one should be a self-propelled lawnmower. This will allow you to complete your jobs as quickly as possible. The second tool is going to be a trimmer, sometimes called a weed eater, and this will help you do the edging to some degree. The third tool is going to be manual edging shears which will allow you to trim the vines, brush, or anything else that needs to be trimmed back which cannot be accomplished with a string trimmer. The fourth tool is going to be a broom which you are going to need if there are sidewalks that are adjacent to the loans that you are doing. Finally, you are going to need a rake so that you can get all of the lawn clippings that were not put into the bag on the lawnmower, allowing you to complete your job.
Where You Buy Them?
If you do not have these already, or if you are just starting your business, you need to go to other will hardware store. You can also go to a home improvement store where they will have most of these items. You should also do price comparison-shopping online just to make sure you are saving the most money. Once you have all of these tools, there will be no job that you will not be able to complete, in most cases, when you are offering your lawn trimming and maintenance services in Springboro. Enjoy a gorgeous Ohio Lawn Care that will help your grass flourish.

Wood flooring is timeless. It enhances the warmth of any home and complements the decor of any room.
Like a fine piece of furniture, wood flooring increases in value and becomes more beautiful with time. In a national survey, 90 percent of real estate agents said that houses with wood flooring sell faster and for more money.
Wood is a natural resource, renewable and recyclable. Buildings, barns, ships and other structures made of wood often find a second life in wood flooring, cabinets, walls and ceilings. And leading allergists agree that wood floors are the perfect choice for a healthy home.
The state-of-the-art technology and almost limitless choices of today's stains, finishes, styles and designs make wood flooring one of the most practical, easy-care and versatile floor coverings today. Maintained properly, wood flooring should never have to be replaced.

T.A. is pushing for the legislative, enforcement and policy changes that hold drivers accountable for their actions and create deterrents from dangerous driving. By working for more enforcement of existing vehicle and traffic laws and promoting the effectiveness of automated enforcement cameras, we can change reckless and careless driving behaviors. By calling for more in-depth investigation and reporting of all crashes, we can make necessary improvements to prevent others. With these efforts, T.A. can help police and prosecutors create real deterrents to dangerous driving behavior, and increase street safety for the cyclists and pedestrians who are the most vulnerable users of our roads.
Data Transparency
The major barometer used by the NYPD to measure traffic law compliance is the number of summonses issued by police officers. But just as the number of prescriptions a patient takes is not a good indicator of their overall health, the number of summons issued is in no way indicative of the lawfulness of our roads.
While various New York City agencies record the following data, none of it is readily available to the public:
And while various New York City agencies record the following data, none of it is readily available to the public:
- What moving violation summons are most frequently issued
- The results of the adjudication of moving violation summons
- The results of a crash, including injury severity, location, charges filed and concluding legal action
Transportation Alternative is working towards better data transparency across City agencies in the hopes of make the statistics which delineate the safety of our streets part of the public record, so we can know where and how the most work needs to be done.
Recognizing Best Practices in Policing
New York City police officers have a difficult job to do, but often the NYPD sees a lawless intersection as less of a problem than a lawless sidewalk, despite the deaths and injuries a dangerous street may cause. T.A. works to recognize best practices in traffic enforcement, whether those practices are being tested out locally at an individual New York police precinct, making streets safer across the country or employed around the world. Importing innovative enforcement strategies is key to making policing affect safer streets. We are shaping NYPD policy by recognizing and encouraging pilot projects at the precinct level that are reducing crashes or cutting traffic violations. In addition, T.A. works to empower New Yorkers to work with their local precincts to develop smarter, more effective traffic enforcement. See the Neighborhood Traffic Monitoring Kit (coming soon!) for details on working with your local precinct.

Teresa Giudice's Shocking Confession: 'NJ Housewives' Is Destroying My Family!
Teresa Giudice used to have a fairly harmonious family, but in a new, shocking interview with In Touch, the "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star reveals that the hit Bravo show is ripping apart her family.
The acrimonious relations reached a high point after her younger brother, Joe Gorga — who, along with his wife Melissa yearn for the fame Teresa has achieved — called his sister "garbage" and fought with her husband Joe, at the christening of Gorga's son Joey.
Teresa tells In Touch, she doesn't want to "stoop down to Melissa's level" and refuses to use the word "jealous" to describe her brother and sister-in-law, but her husband isn't: "Melissa is the most jealous person in the world, and she's a liar."
Teresa says the situation with her brother is causing marital strife, with Joe telling In Touch, "I told her a bunch of times not to mention the brother in front of me—I don't want to hear it and when I hear the name I get pissed off…There have been a couple of times when she has said the name, and I almost did leave."
While Joe may not want to hear their names, Gorga and his wife aren't leaving the show anytime soon–and that's a problem, since Teresa says her daughters have been bullied since their uncle and aunt began appearing on the show. "The other day at school, a kid went up to my daughter and said, 'Your family is embarassing. She told me she was crying."
Even Teresa's father has been negatively impacted by the family turmoil: Suffering from emphysema, he was noticeable agitated during the fight at the christening. "It's breaking my heart," says Teresa. "My brother knows how sick our dad is. I don't know why he would do what he did.
Adding insult to injury are reports that Teresa's brother has been urging his wife to speak out against Teresa. "I'm so appauled they're doing this just to be on TV," she says. "You really shouldn't air your dirty laundry on TV, and my brother and his wife are making it so much worse for us all."
