HE Safety and Security Audit Toolkit
2.3 The Written HE Audit Report
Using the information from the HE District Facility Safety and Security Audit Checklist (completed in the onsite visit) as well as information from the document review, the audit team should prepare a written report of the audit findings. Once completed, the report should then be submitted to the president or chancellor of the district. The report should include the following sections:
Demographics The report should begin with the demographic information that was gathered in the demographic section of the HE District Facility Safety and Security Audit Checklist.
Results of Entrance Conference, Interviews, and School Climate Surveys Summarize the concerns of administrators, staff, faculty, and, students that were voiced at the entrance conference and from the staff/student climate surveys, including a sample of the open-ended comments that were made.
Document Review The report should then cover the document review with specific information about what documents were available and the usefulness of those documents.
Safety and Security Audit Components This portion of the report should cover each section from the HE District Facility Safety and Security Audit Checklist while mentioning specific areas of concern.
Commendations and Recommendations The report should summarize the findings with a list of commendations and recommendations.
Identifying Commendations and Recommendations
A commendation indicates the campus/facility has made safety a priority in this area and previously made plans, improvements, or developed policies to ensure student and staff safety. Areas of commendation can be identified by the items marked "YES" on the HE District Facility Safety and Security Audit Checklist. Be specific in letting the campus/facility know the things they are doing well.
Items marked "NO" on the HE District Facility Safety and Security Audit Checklist need to be considered as possible areas of concern. The audit team should reflect on the following:
- Does the data indicate a need for this criterion to be in place at the campus or facility?
- Is this criterion considered a best practice in campus or facility safety?
- Is this criterion already in process on the campus or facility?
- Will the addition of this criterion make the campus or facility a substantially safer place?
The audit team needs to prioritize the needs of the facility while making recommendations for improving facility safety. Cost/benefit analysis may be taken into account in deciding what recommendations may be made to improve an area of concern.
Submitting a Written Report
The campus/facility administrator should submit the School Safety and Security Audit Report to the president or chancellor during the academic year in which the audit was conducted, along with any actions the campus/facility has taken to mitigate negative findings. The president/chancellor should write the official report of the district's audit to submit to the Board of Trustees, in accordance with Texas Education Code §37.108(b).

SUNGAI PETANI, Jul 4 – A total of 6,312 road accidents have been recorded nationwide during the first four days of 'Ops Selamat 9/2016', which began on June 29 with Selangor recording the highest number of 2,051 cases. Bukit Aman Traffic Enforcement Investigation Department (TEID) director Datuk Mahamad Khir Darus said the number had increased by 10.7% or 610 cases compared with 5,702 cases in the same period last year.
"Also in the four days, 64 fatal accidents were recorded with 73 deaths compared to 89 fatal accidents and 102 deaths recorded during the same period last year. That is a decrease of 25 fatal accidents and a decrease of 28.4% or 29 deaths," he told reporters after visiting the Police Training Academy (SLAK) here yesterday.
"In Selangor 2,051 road accidents were recorded, 16 of which were fatal. Other states that recorded high accident rates are Kuala Lumpur with 895 cases, followed by Johor (859 cases), Penang (478 cases) and Perak (435 cases). Motorists' selfish attitude had been identified as the main cause contributing to the accidents," he said.

Homemade Vegan Stuffing Recipe | Wild Rice, Cranberries, and Pine Nuts
My dad makes this incredible stuffing for the holidays. He always says, "Even the 'no-stuffing eaters' will fall in love with it." And they do! I just found out today that I'm not going to be able to spend this Thanksgiving with my parents, so I thought I'd honor my dad with this post.
Homemade Vegan Stuffing Recipe with Wild Rice, Cranberries, and Pine NutsMakes 10-ish servings; double for your biggest holiday crowds.
- 5 cups cubed and dried vegan bread (use gluten free vegan bread for a GF option)
- 2 ½ cups vegetable broth, plus more, as needed
- 1 white onions chopped fine
- 3 celery stalks cut into small pieces
- 1 ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 ½ teaspoon dried sage
- 1 ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ lb fresh mushrooms, sliced
- ½ cup cooked wild rice (instructions below)
- ½ cup shelled pine nuts
- 2 shots vegan Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon vegan butter (divided)
- ½ cup dried cranberries
Boil wild rice with water according to package directions until tender, about 40 minutes. Sauté onions, mushrooms, celery, and seasonings in the vegan butter. Sauté pine nuts separately in the vegan butter until golden brown. Mix all ingredients in a large pot, adding vegetable broth as you stir it in. Test for consistency and add more vegetable stock if too dry. Fluff with a large fork. Bake on low heat (about 200 degrees) for half an hour or until golden.

Overview | Treatment | Before and After Photos | Cost
Botox is a unique, versatile drug that can be used in many, different ways (cosmetic and medical) to help with a diverse array of problems. If you're curious and haven't tried Botox (or Dysport), give us a call to learn more about the multitude of options below.
Here is a list of some of the more commonly encountered issues that Botox can be used to correct:
- Smooth away horizontal lines and wrinkles on the forehead
- Lift and open the eyes (brow lift)
- Smooth away vertical frown lines between the eyes
- Relax smile lines around the outer eye (crow's feet)
- Erase vertical "smoker's lines" on the upper lip
- Reduce a "cradle" (horizontal line) in the upper lip
- Fix a "gummy smile" by lowering the upper lip
- Treat hyperhidrosis (excessive underarm sweating)
- Subtly turn up the corners of the mouth (mouth frown)
- Smooth a dimpled chin (pebble chin)
Botox works for all these problems because it is a targeted treatment that relaxes treated muscles. When certain muscles in the face are relaxed, it allows others (opposing muscles) to work better. This is why a deep understanding of the anatomy of the face and how the muscle groups interact with one another during facial expression is so important when injecting Botox. The overall goal is to take full advantage of its effect and use it in a way that maximizes or balances these actions while maintaining natural movement and expression.
Also bear in mind that Botox can always be used in combination (and often is) with other products such as Dysport and dermal fillers such as Restylane, Juvederm and Radiesse. Using all in conjunction can provide maximum correction of problematic aesthetic issues and will enhance the overall outcome. This leads to younger-looking, smoother and fuller facial features.
Another FDA-approved use of Botox is for the treatment of hyperhidrosis. This condition causes excessive, embarrassing underarm sweating that is socially and professionally limiting and keeps people from living at their full potential. Small amounts of Botox are injected into the area, blocking the innervation of the sweat glands. This in effect, stops the overactive sweating, allowing people with hyperhidrosis to live like anyone else, wearing the clothes and enjoying activities that they want to.
If you're interested in learning more about Botox and are in the Torrance, CA or Orange, CA area, we encourage you to give Celibre Medical a call today to schedule your free consultation. We would love to talk to you about how Botox can work for you.

Can Hypnotherapy Help Your Archery Performance?
There are many misunderstandings and myths regarding hypnotherapy and sports performance. It is common knowledge that the journey to becoming a successful athlete heavily involves the maintenance of physical fitness at very high levels. However, physical fitness is but a single strategy required for success in athletic performance.
Reputable research suggests that sports performance is heavily dependent on mental abilities than it is on physical abilities. To most individuals, it is a strange concept but not to the thousands of athletes who have come to recognize the power that mental state has on their performance in sports. Hypnotherapy has been widely used for decades by professional athletes to enhance their natural ability.
Mind control
Successful athletes are those that are capable of controlling their state of mind. This is because it provides them with a psychological advantage that prevents them from giving into their nerves or underperforming. The technique is focused on engaging the mind of an athlete in a positive manner to assist him/ her to focus on their goal and to achieve it. The ability to effectively control negative emotions and thoughts is the basis on which sports psychology is founded and it is often attained via hypnosis.
The aim of any professional athlete especially during competition is to enter the zone. The term means that an athlete gets totally absorbed in the activity they are doing to the extent of failing to notice external distractions. This usually happens when athletes are delivering optimum performance. The role of hypnotherapy is to assist athletes to access the zone and use it in enhancing their performance.
The Benefits of Hypnotherapy for Sports Performance
Hypnotherapy has the following benefits on sports performance:
- It helps athletes to maintain composure as well as to overcome distractions.
- It allows athletes to apply concentration and deep relaxation to imagine their success in sports.
- It significantly increases the dedication and motivation that an athlete has.
- It functions to get rid of all negative beliefs or thoughts that an athlete might have.
- Hypnotherapy serves to improve the self-belief and confidence of an athlete.
- It stimulates mental agility.
- It is good for managing stress.
- It helps in recovery from an injury. This is because it helps them to dissociate the pain so that they can cope better with it and ultimately, perform better in spite of it.
- It helps in dealing with competition stress and nerve effectively.
The benefits listed above are not exhaustive as there are many more advantages of using hypnotherapy in improving sports performance.
Any athlete who is open to the idea of honing concentration and reducing stress can greatly benefit from hypnotherapy. However, athletes who are recovering from an injury or those undergoing a stressful time might benefit the most from it.
Hypnotherapy is an effective preparation technique that any athlete can utilize regardless of the nature of their sport. This is because the practice depends on visualization. It should also be noted that hypnotherapy can be used by anyone regardless of your skills set, whether it is on a recreational level or a professional level. However, regular sessions of hypnotherapy are recommended for optimum results.
The success of hypnotherapy in sports performance can be witnessed all around the globe. Tiger Woods, a professional golfer acknowledges the role of hypnosis in his success as a sportsman. Tiger has been using powerful self-hypnosis methods from his teen years. Another good example is gymnast Mary Lou Retton who displayed an outstanding performance at the 1984 Olympics that earned her global recognition and a gold medal.
Hypnotherapy and archery
Hypnotherapy is a theme that is usually stressed in almost all archery improvement literature. This is because archery lays emphasis on the consistency of shot execution rather than on the perfection. Hypnotherapy therefore allows enthusiasts of archery to understand their desired form beforehand. This helps them to deeply ingrain that form into their subconscious via self-hypnotic suggestion for success in shooting. This is why hypnotherapy is regarded as being very beneficial to the sport of archery. Hypnotherapy promotes excellence in archery just like in any other sport because it acknowledges that everything begins as a mere thought within the brain.
Hypnotherapy allows athletes to rehearse their performance mentally thus can be able to input self-confidence and motivation into their game. Rehearsal and visualization of goals improves performance in the same way as physical practice would. Every person is different, this means that the results of hypnotherapy will be different from one athlete to the other.

Most people who receive personal injuries are unaware that the person who hurt them may owe them money. If you have experienced a personal injury and have considered seeking settlement in a civil court, this article has been written for you. By utilizing the below tips, you will find yourself more prepared to settle your case in court.
Don't forget to include lost income in your claim. This includes lost wages from being unable to work, whether due to injury or issues like lack of transportation. You may also include money for classes you had to miss.
Personal injury law can be a difficult field to get a case fought in. You should only use an experienced attorney. Find someone that has won several cases in this type of law to ensure that your case is properly handled.
When it comes to selecting a personal injury lawyer, make sure to schedule meetings with several lawyers before deciding on one. Take advantage of free consultations to help you choose the right lawyer. In your consultation you can learn the potential costs, helping you figure out which lawyers overcharge or have unnecessary fees.
Check into how large your prospective lawyer's firm is prior to making any decisions. When you are going up against a major player, it's in your best interest to have an equally formidable lawyer behind you. For minor claims, this is not as important.
Avoid flashy advertisements from lawyers as these are usually not the good ones. On top of what people think about advertisements that seem to good to be true, it's not too easy to know how good a lawyer is just because you saw them in an ad. You should always meet a lawyer in-person before deciding to use them for representation.
Make sure to consult a lawyer before talking to an insurance company. Insurers play a role in almost all cases. These companies will want to end the dispute as quick as possible. Always consult an attorney before agreeing to, or accepting money from, an insurance company.
There is a chance that it is not in your best interest to file a complaint just because you are dealing with some pain. This is actually quite common and it might soon go away. If, however, you feel this pain will not stop after a few days, you will need the help of a good lawyer.
Ask every question you can think of at your first meeting with your attorney. These questions should consider your overall expectations so that you're aware of everything involved. You will be more comfortable if you ask questions.
Pick your personal injury lawyer prior to giving recorded or written injury statements to insurance adjusters or those that represent the other party. Whatever is said can be used as evidence should the matter go to trial, and you must consult with an attorney in advance.
You should now know what to expect so that you can choose what to do next. Are you on the hunt for a qualified personal injury lawyer? Are you at fault or not? This article will help you move forward.

- Porsche Cayenne 955/957/958
- Porsche Cayenne 958 (2011 to 2019)
- Porsche Cayenne 958 Midpipe with X-Pipe Crossover, 2.5" or 3" Diameter
Choose Your Options
Product Description
Free shipping is offered on this product for the Continental US only. Please contact us for a shipping quote to other countries/locations.
Finally - by popular demand, we're excited to introduce our new 2.5" or 3" midpipe for the 958 Cayenne. Our midpipe/X-pipe combination has been very popular with our 955/957 customers, so we have adapted it for fitment on the 958 S/GTS/Turbo/turbo models.
This midpipe is mandrel-bent, made from 2.5" or 3" 304SS tube, is fully TIG-welded and features an X-pipe crossover to smooth the sound and add an aggressive growl. If you already have our 2.5" or 3" Secondary Bypass Pipes and/or one of our popular axle-back exhausts, this midpipe will complement your existing setup and increase flow through the mid-section of the exhaust. This midpipe includes two hanger brackets/rods to attach in the factory hanger locations.
Our midpipe includes adapters to attach to either the factory secondaries or to our HHR Secondary Bypass Pipes in front and to either the factory muffler or any of our HHR rear axle-back mufflers (SuperSport, SR1, SR2 or ST1 exhausts) in the rear. Whatever exhaust parts you are currently using, we can make the correct adapters to fit - that's our specialty, and our flexibility is what makes us different from our competitors!
If you have an S-V8 or GTS (non-Turbo) and don't plan on major mods, then we'd recommend our 2.5" midpipe instead of the 3".
If you have a Turbo, Turbo S or GTS twin-turbo, either size will work but the 3" will provide more flow and a more aggressive sound.
This midpipe includes the X-pipe crossover, driver-and passenger-side midpipes, hanger bracket, clamps, and adapters to connect to whichever rear exhaust you are using. Installation is easy, as all of the tube connections are slip-fits with stainless steel collar/band clamps. Plan on approx. 90 minutes to install.

Food restriction, fasting or scheduled feeding in mice are routinely used in many laboratories worldwide in the context of behavioural neuroscience, studies on metabolism and circadian neurobiology. Hunger is associated with a reduction in blood glucose, which triggers wakefulness and food-seeking behaviour. An alternative strategy that many species employ when facing food scarcity is energy conservation, which can be achieved by entering torpor. Torpor is a unique adaptation, characterised by a profound attenuation of physiological functions, wherein body temperature can drop to within a few degrees of ambient temperature. It has been proposed that fasting blocks cold-induced thermogenesis while triggering a decrease in energy expenditure and body temperature, resulting in torpor.
Surprisingly few researchers are aware that laboratory mice are a facultative heterothermic species that readily display torpor bouts in response to food deprivation at the temperature levels commonly used in animal facilities. While torpor itself is an adaptive response to limited food supply, and is easily reversible, little is known about the lasting consequences of torpor on physiology, sleep and brain function, and thus it may be a potential source of significant biological variation in scientific data. Studies suggest that torpor and hypothermia lead to a substantial loss of synapses across the brain including the hippocampus, cortex, and thalamus, suggesting that it will likely have fundamental influences on behaviour and learning. Evidence also suggests that torpor is associated with profound changes in metabolic rates and changes in hormones such as leptin. Therefore, since most researchers are unaware that fasted mice may undergo prolonged periods of torpor, it is essential to investigate this process in the context of commonly used food restriction paradigms to determine the influence of torpor on subsequent data.
This project will investigate the effects of commonly used food restriction protocols on torpor in mice, the effects of torpor on subsequent behavioural performance and sleep, and will develop a standardized approach to detect the occurrence of torpor during food restriction. Our project will inform behavioural and physiological studies in mice, where food restriction is widely used. Our preliminary study suggests that even a short period of food restriction can induce torpor, which is associated with profound effects on sleep and waking. Given that sleep is crucially important for cognitive functions and energy homeostasis, the occurrence of torpor will therefore have a marked influence on animal's subsequent performance in behavioural tasks and on many physiological variables. Our project will therefore inform the experimental design of future studies to ensure that fasting is sufficient without inducing torpor. This will provide a major 3Rs impact, as it will allow food restriction protocols to be optimised whilst avoiding the major metabolic disturbances associated with torpor, which have the potential to disrupt behaviour and learning (Refinement). Moreover, we predict that this will also decrease variance in the data reducing the number of animals required for such studies (Reduction). Scientifically, as well as improving reproducibility and avoiding confounds, this model offers a unique opportunity to understand torpor as a third fundamental state of vigilance, in addition to wake and sleep.

Billiards was introduced to me by my dad, my interest was cemented by the magic one witnesses whenever Efren "Bata" Reyes plays. And the toothless smile… let's just say I find it cute, odd as it may seem. Anyway, I found this wonderful video clip of Efren "Bata" Reyes' game. Every time the commentators tries to second guess his move he confounds them. I'm thinking Efren just might be a genius when it comes to Geometry. Because when one of my friends was teaching me billiards she tells me to remember my Geometry course back in highschool since, so she tells me, it's all about angles. Thing is I was bad at Math! Anyway, great sportsmanship shown by Earl Strickland as well. Enjoy!

New Letter from Agent X!
Thanks to Kevin S, a new letter from Agent X (working against those dastardly fellows at sectorseven.org) is now available. It would seem to indicate new information would be available given the release of a new name – RisingDragon – yet so far, no luck. You can click read more to read the letter, or comment on it on the forum thread here.
The newest letter:
I want to congratulate you on a successful beginning. I have seen your work
and have been impressed. Especially with Master Fwiffo (who was the first
to leak the Agent Weaving information) and takara83 (who was the first to
join the evidence campaign), RisingDragon has also proved himself extremely
Now we must build on the foundation you've created. We need more. More
evidence (videos, photos, eyewitness accounts) and more dedicated crusaders
to help expose Sector Seven. We can't win the information war if the public
only listens to Sector Seven's lies. Just look at all the money they've
already put into this counter-information campaign. Hundreds of millions.
We don't have that kind of funding on our side. But we do have the truth,
the will, and the technology to reach the entire free world. They may be
able to silence some, but they cannot silence the entire world.
Sector Seven must be stopped. Spread the word.
And I just wanted to mention that we officially have a new ally in our
struggle. I'm sure you'll all get to know her better in time.

text: We are pleased to announce the arrival of our second Charlie Cart, CeCe, to support the Read Eat Grow initiative. Read Eat Grow aims to educate families about the importance of healthy cooking and eating, and provide programs to show them how to prepare nutritional meals. The Charlie Cart is a self-contained mobile kitchen that contains small appliances including a griddle and a convection oven, as well as measuring cups, mixing bowls, and a variety of tools. Our first cart, appropriately named Charlie, spent the last year visiting libraries to familiarize them with Read Eat Grow and train staff on programs and safe food handling practices. CeCe will be cirulated among the most rural public libraries in South Carolina to teach patrons positive behaviors that impact their health and that of their families. This Charlie Cart is funded in whole or in part with federal funds from the Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health, National Library of Medicine, under Grant Number UG4LM012340 with the University of Maryland, Baltimore.

Funders Together to End Homelessness San Diego, a collaborative of San Diego Grantmakers, has established a fund to pay for hotel rooms for homeless seniors and others who are at higher risk of contracting COVID-19.
There are over 2000 homeless people in San Diego who are age 65+ living on the streets and in crowded shelters. In order to protect these seniors from illness and to flatten the curve, we need to quickly move them into hotel rooms.
The County of San Diego, and other government entities, are securing hotel rooms for people who have already contracted COVID-19. This fund expands upon those efforts by targeting people who are high-risk but have not yet gotten sick. Homeless seniors are especially vulnerable to becoming ill, and, once ill, face increased morbidity. We need to act now to prevent them from getting sick in the first place.
To contribute to this fund, please contact Amy Denhart or use the link below.
Funders Together to End Homelessness San Diego (FTEHSD), a collaborative of San Diego Grantmakers, is a regional collaboration of grantmakers that combine and align resources to actively end homelessness in the county.
FTEHSD's goal is to build a San Diego County network of funders who are committed to solving homelessness through leadership, education, and advocacy; strategic collaboration, alignment and focus of resources; and effective promotion and replication of evidence based practices in our community. It is part of the national Funders Together to End Homelessness network.
View FTEHSD's current funding priorities. Specific funding opportunities will be announced periodically.

The Future Without Grades
By Erin Millar, journalist and author
|Out with the old. (Image © Brad Holt)
Imagine it's report card day. Your child (who, for the purposes of this thought experiment, is in grade five) fishes a crumpled piece of paper out of her knapsack. But instead of containing letter grades, the paper she hands you is a chronicle of her progress on goals she set herself in consultation with her teacher.
A QR code draws your attention to one goal in particular: at the beginning of the school year she pledged to improve her leadership skills by getting more involved in her school's community. You pull out your iPhone and scan the code. A video pops up showing your daughter reading the morning announcements over the school's PA.
This isn't merely a fictionalized scenario. Pat Horstead, an assistant superintendent in Surrey, B.C. described the example to me when I spoke to her this week while writing an article for the Globe and Mail about schools doing away with letter grades and numerical marking.
"Having those samples of student work − video, audio of students reading aloud, different versions of writing that show progress − really helps parents know how to be involved in their child's education," she told me. Parents I spoke to, like Krista Wolfram, agreed.
For the past two years, I've been investigating innovative schools for my forthcoming book The Flexible Brain. When I asked about report cards, I heard about schools all over the world that are moving away from high stakes traditional assessment that ranks and sorts students towards more fluid, personalized approaches that allow children to learn at their own pace. These innovations are in part a response to a growing belief among educators that while letter grades and numerical numbers may describe how well a student can regurgitate knowledge, they don't capture the competencies and characteristics that students need to succeed in work and lead fulfilling lives. Moreover, getting rid of traditional letter grades has been shown to improve academic achievement.
One of the most interesting researchers looking into how we measure achievement is James Heckman, a Nobel Prize winning economist at the University of Chicago. Heckman began probing assessment after he studied the General Educational Development program, commonly known as the GED. The program offers high school dropouts a way to earn the equivalent to a high school diploma without having to suffer through returning to high school. The GED exam is designed to test whether a student knows everything that they ought to know before graduation. So, this line of reasoning goes, if a student can demonstrate mastery of high school material through the GED, they will be just as prepared to succeed as any traditional graduate.
But that's not the case. Heckman found that while GED holders were just as intelligent as high school graduates according to IQ tests, they didn't enjoy the benefits of high school graduates. In fact, when he looked at measures of success like employment, income, divorce rates and drug-use, they didn't have any advantage over dropouts who didn't complete a GED, even though they were smarter on paper. Heckman concluded that the stuff we can measure with grades and tests (intelligence or cognitive skills) doesn't predict later life success.
So what is a better way to measure the competencies that students really need to succeed? Education researchers everywhere are trying to answer that question. The OECD's influential Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) has started measuring students on more than just literacy and numeracy; just last week PISA released its first ever study of 15-year-olds' performance on creative problem solving. According to the Times Education Supplement, PISA director Andreas Schleicher says that PISA is exploring how to measure other intangibles such as whether students can make sound judgements or deal with ambiguity.
Social scientist Maria Langworthy, who is in charge of designing an assessment system for a global project called New Pedagogies for Deep Learning, puts the problem this way: "Kids know the way they take exams is absurd," she adds, "there is a growing sensibility that the way we do assessment is no longer relevant." She sees a future assessment system that measures not only if students know stuff, but also whether they can apply it in new contexts. She anticipates that students will be much more involved in assessing their peers' and their own work. "It's no longer one teacher driving 30 students. It's now students driving students."
Assessment today
Next generation assessment
|Assessment is top-down and generalized, driven by pressure to measure school and district-wide performance
|Assessment begins from the bottom-up, and is based on students' individual learning needs and goals
|Students must "perform" on final tests and exams, which overemphasize multiple choice or short response questions that reward ability to memorize facts. Grades offer too little feedback too late, giving parents and students few clues about how to improve
|Students provide continuous feedback on tasks throughout the year. This keeps them engaged and offers instant insight on what they grasp and what they don't
|Students in each cohort take the same tests at the same time. Skills that aren't amenable to pen-and-pencil tests are largely ignored
|Assessments are adapted for individual readiness, and interests. "Soft" skills – such as the ability to collaborate, think creatively, and solve problems - are considered
So what does that actually look like in the classroom? I put that question to English teacher Jessica Pelat, who is phasing out grades in her classes at Fraser Heights Secondary in Surrey. Pelat continually provides feedback in class and online instead of waiting for a report card to tell students how they are doing. "Nothing is ever final. These kids can always improve."
Pelat's students maintain portfolios of their work online. "There is accountability because anyone can read it," she says. "They can look back at their work and see their progress." Teachers model this reporting by keeping their own learning portfolios. Pelat spends a lot of time in class discussing learning outcomes and giving constructive feedback with her students. Do parents buy in? "As soon as we explained that this change was good for student learning, they were on board. They realized we're not just going to brush off their kid's learning with a number."
But, not all parents are convinced. When the Calgary Board of Education announced last year that they were eliminating letter grades up until grade nine (they've since backpedalled and are reviewing their assessment strategy), Robert Hurdman was anxious that he wouldn't know how his three children were doing in school. "Most parents just want an objective judgment of how their child is doing compared to where they should be at a given level," he told me by phone. "There is an overwhelming amount of education jargon. Educators fill report cards with language that is very precise and meaningful to them, but it can be impenetrable to parents."
The problem is that moving from a grading system that everyone understands (even if it is imperfect) to something unknown brings up all sorts of challenges. How will we know how our children compare to their peers? How will colleges and universities assess applicants?
Colleges and universities in B.C. are beginning to discuss how they may have to adjust application processes if the future holds fewer letter grades. Some institutions, like Vancouver Island University and Kwantlen Polytechnic University, are moving toward more open application processes that take student portfolios into consideration in addition to high-school marks. The B.C. Ministry of Education recently appointed Jan Unwin, previously superintendent at Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows school district – which has done away with using letter grades up to Grade 7 – to explore how to streamline the transition from high school to postsecondary education. "We're a ways away, but universities are very open to this conversation," she says.

Reviews: Best Charleston Hotels - Where to Stay in CharlestonAs long as you avoid the peak of the hot summer months, when humidity can be stifling, Charleston is a great city to visit. Alright, even if you go in summer you will still probably enjoy it, you'll just be sweating more! Charleston is located on an peninsula that just out into Charleston Harbor, bordered to the west by the Ashley River, and to the east by the Cooper River -- outside the scenic harbor is the mighty Atlantic. This waterfront setting gives the historic center of Charleston a feel something like San Francisco, just without all the hills (Charleston is part of the "Low Country" region, with a lot of flat tidal marshes and swampland and very little in the way of elevation). By car, you can approach Charleston from three directions: from Mount Pleasant in the east via Hwy 17 over the Arthur Ravenal Jr. Bridge spanning the Cooper River; from the north, via the 26 freeway that intersects both the 526 Inner Beltway and further out, the I-95; and from the west on Hwy 17 across the Ashley River Memorial Bridge.
The most scenic part of Charleston is south of Calhoun St., which bisects the city east to west. A few blocks north of this is OK, but the city starts looking pretty run-down as you get closer and closer to the Hwy 26 interchange. For most tourists, you will be exploring and staying south of Calhoun St. Looking at a map of Charleston, Market St. around the intersection of Meeting St. or King St. is the real heart of the commercial part of the city. You can't go wrong with any hotels within a few blocks of here.
Most Popular Charleston Hotels and Lodging
- Holiday Inn Historic District, Charleston - 125 Calhoun St, just off Meeting St.; rooms start from just under $150 per night. Location is decent, but a few blocks farther north than we normally like to stay. This is a nice hotel, better than the average HI you come across.
- Embassy Suites Hotel Historic District, Charleston - just up Meeting St. from the Holiday Inn, rooms start around $150 per night. This one gets some mixed reviews - we recommend staying further south..
- Charleston Place (205 Meeting St) is the nicest hotel in the city. It's in a great location between Market and Hasell, between Meeting and King St. It connects to upscale indoor shopping boutiques. Expect to pay $250 minimum in the low season, up to $600 in the busier season. If you can afford it, stay here.
- The Planters Inn (112 N Market St) is another great hotel, just half a block from Charleston Place. Conveniently located, you can get beautiful rooms here with canopy beds - -expect to pay $175 minimum, up to $400.
- Doubletree Guest Suites, Historic Charleston (181 Church Street). Just one block east from Meeting St., this nice property gives you easy access to the acitivites on Market St., and is just 2 blocks from all the restaurants on E. Bay St. We stayed here most recently in the winter of 2006. Suites were spacious and comfortable, service was good, no complaints. Expect to pay $140 to $350, depending on time of year. Highly recommended. Valet parking is a little expensive at $16 per day -- consider the garage just across the street off Hayne St.
- French Quarter Inn (166 Church St) is just down the block from the Doubletree. Good location, nice quality rooms. Love the cookies and milk in the lobby each evening! Expect to pay $175-$375 per night for lodging.
- Days Inn Historic District (155 Meeting St) - for something a little cheaper, consider this one. Nothing fancy, but you should be able to find rooms for $175 or less.
Charleston, SC Inns and B&BsCharleston is famous for its southern mansion homes that line its picturesque streets in the historic district, so you may be in the mood for a more cozy inn than a commercial hotel. Some popular bed and breakfasts and inns in Charleston include:
- Two Meeting Street Inn (2 Meeting St, just off S. Battery on the waterfront). Located in a Queen Anne Mansion dating from the late 1800s, you are in a very scenic location here for $200-$300 per night.
- Battery Carriage House Inn 1843 (20 S Battery, near King St.). Eleven different rooms all offer private entrances and custom decor. Not good for small children, 2 night minimum required on weekends, but a lovely property. Expect to pay $150-$300 per night, and remember this is a 150 year old, not a new, modern highrise.
- Antebellum Bed & Breakfast at Thomas Lamboll House (19 King St, a block and a half from the battery). The home is terrific but there are a few complaints about the proprietor. If you are the type that wants to chat endlessly with the host, this might not be your cup of tee, but for accomodations, it is a good choice.

Fresh Corn Salsa
Purple Basil
Apple Note
Fresh Corn Salsa
Our corn was finally ready, so we made a corn salsa treat for today's share. The recipe was simple, as were the ingredients. We hope you enjoy this very summery salsa!
- corn kernels
- onion, diced
- red pepper, diced
- jalapeños, seeded and minced
- cilantro, chopped
- lime juice
- salt
Fresh corn salsa pairs perfectly with tortilla chips but it also makes a wonderful topping on salad, on grilled chicken or steak, or on your favorite Mexican dish.
Hungarian Wax Peppers
It may look like a mild banana pepper, but really the Hungarian wax pepper has a lot more bite. In terms of spiciness, it's more akin to a jalapeño with a chance for a bit more heat. This is a great chili for all sorts of cooking (including chiles rellenos) and a popular one to top off a salad with or to pickle. Source: https://www.pepperscale.com/hungarian-wax-pepper/
These peppers make great appetizers. Stuff them whole, raw, with a cream cheese and diced pepperoni, salami, or dried beef mixture. Just cut off the top, de-seed, cut a small piece off the tip [allows air to release so the peppers don't split when stuffing] to prep the peppers. Warm the cream cheese to a workable consistency, mix with your chosen meat, and stuff peppers until the mix comes out the small hole in the tip. Drizzle with olive oil and chill overnight. Serve sliced in 3/4" rings. Or, try the easy pickled pepper recipe below.
Purple Basil
We were pretty excited about our purple basil! It really adds a pop of color in the garden and in the CSA share. And, I had way too much fun finding recipes for it! It was hard stopping at four links, because there are so many cool uses that show off the purple basil so nicely. Hopefully you can find one you like!
Read about purple basil in the first link below, which also includes some ideas on how to use this beautiful herb.

Root Veggies ~ Parsnips & Turnips
While they're both root vegetables that are packed with nutrients, parsnips and turnips are not quite the same—parsnips are similar to carrots and have a sweet, candy-like flavor. They are good for adding creaminess to soups and moisture to baked goods. Turnips, on the other hand, are in the Brassica rapa family (like bok choy and napa cabbage) and are much less sweet. They are tasty eaten raw, like radishes.
Parsnips are easy to roast in a high-temperature oven. A 425°F oven for 20 to 25 minutes is just about perfect to caramelize the sugars in the parsnips, resulting in a perfectly textured bite. Or, don't cook them at all! Julienne a parsnip and add it to a salad for an extra bit of crunch.
Looking for an alternative to mashed potatoes? Try mashed turnips with bacon! Simmer peeled and cut-up turnips in boiling salted water until tender. Drain and mash with butter, salt, and pepper. Fold in crumbled cooked bacon and chopped chives; top with shaved Parmesan.

Spent most of the time on musicality. After some work, I was able to find the pulse of the piece, and from here on in, I should be able to make this work. The hard part was to make sure I give the eighth rest enough value so my quarter comes in on the pulse. Towards the end of the piece, that ends in a rage of triplets, Dan showed me how not every note is equally important. One new skill was to accent a note not by playing necessarily harder but by letting it ring.
Mechanically, we adjusted my hold on the cello. I was tilting it gradually towards me as I played, making it harder to cross strings accurately. Also, we talked a bit about bow speed. To go as a desired speed, I need to find a place on the bow with less resistance.
Finally, we re-emphasized being relaxed and balanced on the fingerboard. I think that aspect is coming along.
We also did about 10 minutes of Kummer #19, which is the beginning of position exercises.
