A Game of Dwarves is one of the more interesting PC games on my radar at the moment, mostly because it promises to be a little bit Majesty and a little bit Dwarf Fortress. Only a lot easier to play.
The game's E3 trailer is a little light on gameplay, but there's enough of it there to, combined with a little humour, show you what the game's all about.
It's basically about digging.

It's been a while since I write something here. I do want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. I'll be back soon and start blogging again. Most likely just the upcoming appearances and whatever the Dodgers send my way in the meantime.
I do feel better but I have about 6 or 7 upcoming Dr. appointments before the year ends.
Thanks for reading. See you soon.

Authorities often aware of previous incidents of victimization among children and adolescents
Almost half of U.S. youth who experience violence, abuse or crime have had at least one of their victimizations known to school, police or medical authorities, according to new research from the University of New Hampshire Crimes against Children Research Center.
The research is reported in the January issue of Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.
"Childhood/adolescent abuse is frequently described as a hidden problem, and victimization studies regularly have shown that much abuse goes undisclosed," according to lead researcher David Finkelhor, director of the UNH Crimes against Children Research Center, and his co-authors. The article is co-authored by Richard Ormrod and Heather Turner, also with the UNH Crimes against Children Research Center, and Sherry Hamby of Sewanee: The University of the South.
"The hidden nature of childhood victimization has multiple sources. Clearly, children and adolescents are easily intimidated by offenders and fear retaliation. However, families, children and adolescents often wish to deal with crime and victimization informally. They sometimes fear the consequences of disclosure to authorities in the form of interviews and police and court involvement. In other cases, they do not perceive that victimizations as something that would be of interest to authorities," the researchers said.
To obtain national estimates of the degree to which authorities are aware of childhood victimization, Finkelhor and his colleagues conducted a national telephone survey involving 4,549 children. Between January and May 2008, interviews were conducted with children and teens age 10 to 17 and the parents of children age 0 to 9 years. Participants answered questions about five types of victimization: conventional crime, maltreatment, abuse by peers and siblings, sexual abuse and indirect exposure to violence (such as witnessing abuse).
A total of 58.3 percent of the children and teens reported at least one direct victimization, including bullying. Of these, 45.7 percent had at least one victimization that was known to authorities. The incidents about which authorities were aware tended to be more seriousfor instance, officials knew about 69 percent of the cases of sexual abuse by a known adult, 73.5 percent of kidnappings and 70.1 percent of gang or group assaults.
"However, even emotional bullying (51.5 percent), neglect (47.8 percent) and theft (46.8 percent) were often known to authorities," the researchers said. The episodes most infrequently reported to authorities included peer and sibling assault, dating violence, sexual exposure and statutory rape.
School authorities were more likely to be aware of victimization events, with 42.3 percent being aware compared with 12.7 percent among police and 1.8 percent among medical authorities. This result "is understandable given how much time children and adolescents spend in school and interact with school professionals," the researchers said. "Although police and medical authorities may conclude from these results that they are seriously underinformed about victimization, it is not clear how much victimization of children and adolescents merits the specialized involvement of these professionals."
The findings represent an improvement from a comparable survey conducted in 1992, in which 25 percent of cases of victimization among children age 10 to 16 years were known to authorities (compared with 50.6 percent among this age group in the current study).
"However, the study also shows that a considerable portion of childhood/adolescent exposure to victimization is still unknown to authorities," according to the researchers. "The study suggests that outreach needs to be particularly enhanced toward boys, Hispanics and higher-income groups. It also suggests that disclosure promotion should be directed toward episodes that involve family members and peer perpetrators."


text: Mark-Paul Gosselaar starring in 'Understudy' 1:53 PM PST 11/2/2009 by Associated Press , AP FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME 'Raising the Bar' actor making N.Y. off-Broadway stage debut NEW YORK -- Mark-Paul Gosselaar is a self-professed theater novice and not afraid to admit it. Right now, he's making his New York stage debut off-Broadway in "The Understudy" alongside theater veterans Julie White, a best-actress Tony Award winner for "The Little Dog Laughed," and Justin Kirk, who appeared on Broadway and in the film version of "Love! Valour! Compassion!" The role required him to step outside his comfort zone and perform twice a day, feeding off the energy of the live audience, with 80 pages of dialogue to remember. "I had no idea about anything," says Gosselaar. "I didn't know the process or the terminology," he says. "Everything has been taught to me by my director Scott Ellis and castmates." Fittingly, Gosselaar plays Jake, a big movie star who's also an understudy in a Broadway play. Kirk plays the understudy to Gosselaar, and White is the stage manager. The entire story takes place at a rehearsal and shows how a theater understudy is always waiting in the wings hoping for their moment in the spotlight. Gosselaar, 35, is no stranger to fame. He's logged almost 30 years in showbiz. While he admits to not really following the theater scene prior to "The Understudy," he has been busy making television shows like "Saved by the Bell," "NYPD Blue," and "Raising the Bar" on TNT. He admits to practicing his new lines while walking to the theater, in a cab and on the subway. "A lot of questions my character brings up are some of the questions I had," admits Gosselaar. "'What's a half-hour call? What's the process of an understudy? So, the understudy is really never gonna go on (stage)?' I had the same questions that Jake has in the play. I had to ask what the fourth wall was (where a character speaks directly to the audience.) The script says, Justin (Kirk) breaks the fourth wall. I said, 'Fourth wall? Where?"' Ellis, the show's director says Gosselaar is catching on quickly."It wouldn't work if he didn't have a gift with it. And he just has it," says Ellis. Gosselaar's self-discovery hasn't stopped at drama. There's a cute dance number at the end of the Roundabout Theatre Company production which he says is one of his favorite parts. He now says he would even consider a Broadway musical if the opportunity came up. "I'm not opposed to it. I don't even know if I have a singing voice. I've never tried." Not everyone would admit their lack of knowledge so freely but Gosselaar says it's not worth it to pretend to know more than he does. "When I auditioned, I walked up to Scott and said 'I have absolutely no clue what I'm doing. I have lots of questions... Why am I going to lie about something? I have a great career in television. I would like to be a student of theater," he says. "I'm at the point in my career where I don't need to pretend. It gets old after a while." Ellis says he was surprised by Gosselaar's audition because it went so well despite his lack of experience. "I looked down on his resume and said, 'There's no theater here' and he said, 'No, I've never done theater.' That was shocking to me because his audition was so spot-on... He instinctively understands what the process is about. He asks the right questions." This may be his first time out, but Gosselaar says he's getting more comfortable with the process. "It used to be an hour before performance, you're revved up. Then it was a half hour: 'Oh, a half hour. Ohmigosh.' Then 15 minutes before, it became 'Oh, 15 minutes.' Now I think we're close to the five-minute mark. We're completely in costume and ready to go but when we get that five-minute mark we go, 'OK,' and we start doing nervous dances and things like that."

Rookie Buccaneers linebacker Mason Foster may have two first names, but he doesn't have a lot of money. He's a rookie, and a third-round pick, which means $20,000 means more to him than it does to, say, Chad Ochocinco, the Patriots receiver Foster hit in last Thursday's preseason game.
So when Roger Goodell fined Foster the same $20K today, Ochocinco (who had complimented Foster on the hit on Twitter) decided he wouldn't stand for it:
ochocinco: @nflcommish Dad no disrespect but I don't agree with @mason_foster fine n I'll be reimbursing him personally.Please feel free to contact me
Calling Goodell "dad" is a nice touch. Too bad Ward Cleaver doesn't know how to work the BlackBerry.

Bourges Cathedral
The Cathedral of St Etienne of Bourges, built between the late 12th and late 13th centuries, is one of the great masterpieces of Gothic art and is admired for its proportions and the unity of its design. The tympanum, sculptures and stained-glass windows are particularly striking. Apart from the beauty of the architecture, it attests to the power of Christianity in medieval France.

Fort Hood suspect allowed to keep beard at trial
FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) — The Army psychiatrist charged in the deadly Fort Hood shooting rampage will be allowed to keep his beard during his military trial.
The new judge overseeing Maj. Nidal Hasan's case told Hasan during a Tuesday hearing that the beard is a violation of Army regulations. But the judge, Col. Tara Osborn, said she won't hold it against him.
Hasan answered her questions, saying he grew the beard voluntarily. He previously said his Muslim faith requires it.
Hasan faces the death penalty if convicted in the 2009 rampage that killed 13 and wounded more than two dozen others on the Texas Army post. His trial date hasn't been set.
A military appeals court recently ousted the former judge and tossed his order requiring Hasan to be forcibly shaved before his trial.

The Undisputed Truth About Job Program Template That the Pros Don't Want You to Hear The Little-Known Secrets to Job Program Template
Job schedules assist workers or workers know if they're designed to perform or whenever they're predicted to perform the job. Since a work schedule is a timeline of the job that workers should take on within a particular schedule, it guides workers on the particular tasks which they have to proceed done. Job schedules are often utilised in several businesses across the world. A work schedule is a timeline that's being followed by way of a guy or an organization to ensure all their work functions will be completed at the most suitable moment. It can also be revised if the need arises. It not only helps in boosting productivity, but it also helps in boosting work efficiency.
Sample and email templates are among the very truly effective practices to accelerate your work search and increase your odds of landing a meeting. Our scheduling templates could be employed to provide a lot of people per shift and can efficiently accommodate varying staffing levels. It's 's possible to select scheduling templates that give a different number of people on each shift, and you may easily modify the tables to supply you a different number of people each day of the week. If you get the template you are going to be sent two (2) MPP files in order that you are in a position to fit file formats with the scheduling applications you're using. You will find tons of entirely free watch statement templates you may download online, but the huge majority are crap! If you want to download an outstanding witness announcement template free of price, then you certainly 've come to the perfect spot.
An employee schedule depends on the type of job that somebody works for. The project schedule is crafted with the assistance of particular stages. The project management schedule is going to have a record of the milestones, activities along with the deliverables in their specific time intervals such as completion.
If our schedule isn't planned we'll wind up getting the busy work that is very likely to create our times slip away without great productivity. There are many ways available to get help when creating a building schedule. For proper management of a project, there's normally an official schedule that is created to guide the entire structure and equipping of their completed project.
Schedules help to instill a sense of arrangement for those especially associations. Therefore until it's possible to make a cleaning schedule that is perfect for your lifetime and your schedule, you will need to evaluate your own house and cleaning requirements. Though it may seem overwhelming at first, developing a cleaning schedule that is suitable for your home and family life may be incredibly liberating. You could also earn a schedule on your own. An effective training schedule is the one which meets your goals and goals in the perfect method.
If you find any of the 1 shift templates which you enjoy, you may use the exact template for 1,2 or 3 changes daily and you will setup your schedules so that your people always work the specific same shift or rotate from 1 shift to the next on a normal basis. Templates could also be useful when you're trying to lose or maintain your present weight. All you will need to do is simply to pick your preferred template and place in it in your own favourite formats from the market. There are plenty of templates to choose from. Other templates deliver far more off weekends. You can also utilize unique templates for each of your changes if your staffing needs vary from 1 shift to another. If you'd like more people, just utilize several diverse templates or some range of duplicates of a single template.
The Downside Risk of Job Program Template
Job Program Template Characteristics
A schedule may perform the task for 2 days until your baby hits a growth spurt and has to nurse or your toddler gets ill and won't sleep. Begin with some well-reasoned, succinct explanation of why it is you're working to modify your workout schedule. Creating a workout schedule isn't effortless. According to your work and the business culture in which you work, you might be in a position to successfully suggest a flexible work schedule.
Critical Pieces of Job Program Template
If you'd like the template, please share with your friends. Continue to add and replace the details which you need to your job schedule template till you're satisfied with this. Because there are lots of present job schedule templates out there, picking one that looks almost exactly as everything you need will make it simpler that you modify and use it.

I am having trouble understanding what exactly Command-Line Arguments are. To my understanding they are arrays of the type String that is passed to the main method. In the program below, command-line information is displayed. When the program is executed, it displays contents in the "arg" array. Indexes 0, 1, and 2 are displayed with the elements "one", "two", and "three" also displayed in them respectively. Why is this? Also, the length instance variable is used determine the size of the "arg" array. Why is it three? Could someone answer these questions or also just explain to me how command-line arguments are used and what are the benefits for using them.
// Display all command-line information. class CLDemo { public static void main(String args[]) { System.out.println("There are " + args.length + " command-line arguments."); System.out.println("They are: "); for(int i=0; i<args.length; i++) System.out.println("arg[" + i + "]: " + args[i]); } }

We all increasingly rely on non-verbal forms of communication—email, IM, texting—to let people know what's going on in our lives. That's great for us, but it's causing headaches in Hollywood when it comes to creating drama.
The problem is that TV and film have to remain topical to keep our attention, but it's difficult to make a text message—a few paltry letters on a little electronic screen—particularly gripping. The Wall Street Journal has a wonderful article which takes a look at the techniques used by filmmakers to ensure modern communication is as gripping as classic dialogue:
In the past year, films aimed at teenaged audiences have been experimenting with how to integrate characters' constant texting into storylines, with varying degrees of success. In "LOL," a 2012 box-office flop, the main character, played by pop star Miley Cyrus, posts Facebook updates ("Status: Boyfriend") that were displayed on the screen in a big, cartoonish font as she typed.
The texting seen in "Disconnect" and other coming films adheres loosely to a convention credited to the BBC's "Sherlock," featuring a wired Sherlock Holmes in modern-day London, and more recently, Netflix's hit series "House of Cards"... "Sherlock"... depicts texts on screen as white subtitles in a Helvetica font.
There is, however, more to making text messages gipping than flashing them up on screen in Helvetica—but you should go read the full feature to find out more about it. [Wall Street Journal via Verge]

Warren Buffett tried to reassure his shareholders Saturday that Berkshire Hathaway will be fine once he is gone, but the 77-year-old billionaire offered few new details of the company's succession plan.
Berkshire vice chairman Charlie Munger may have done more to reassure the roughly 31,000 shareholders at the company's annual meeting.
"Well, we still have a rising young man here named Warren Buffett," Munger said, to which Buffett joked that everyone seems young to the 84-year-old Munger.
Munger continued: "I think we want to encourage this rising young man to reach his full potential."
Several shareholders still asked about the succession plan and Berkshire's future.
Part of the reason why Michel Paquet and Lorie Armstrong made their second trip to the annual meeting from Calgary, Alberta, is that they're not sure how many more meetings will feature both Buffett and Munger.
"I will expect some volatility on the transition, but I'm ready for that," said Paquet, who plans to hold his Berkshire stock for many years to come.
To replace Buffett, Berkshire plans to split his job into three parts — chief investment officer, chief executive officer and chairman.
In his letter to shareholders, Buffett said the company's board has three internal candidates for CEO and four external candidates who could take over managing the company's $75 billion stock portfolio and $35.6 billion cash.
Buffett said any one of the three CEO candidates and any one of the four CIO candidates could step in and do some things better than he does. "There will be no gap after my death in terms of having someone managing the money," he said.
Buffett has refused to publicly identify the candidates, but he has said previously that after he dies his son will take over as chairman to ensure Berkshire's culture is preserved. Howard Buffett already serves on the board.
Buffett plans to visit Europe this month as part of an effort to make sure business owners there know about Berkshire, so they think about calling the American giant when they consider selling their companies.
"We want to get on their radar screen," Buffett said.
Buffett said Berkshire would also consider buying businesses in India and China, but laws in those countries would make such a purchase difficult. Berkshire faces limits on how large a stake it can buy in Indian or Chinese companies, making such deals less attractive, Buffett said.
He told shareholders Saturday that the company's new business insuring municipal bonds generated more than $400 million in premiums during the first quarter. Berkshire Hathaway Assurance was launched to take advantage of credit problems other bond insurers have been having. Buffett said most of the bond insurance policies Berkshire has sold are on bonds that already were insured by other companies, with Berkshire charging a higher fee than the original insurer.
Berkshire's book value — assets minus liabilities — per share has grown from $19 — 43 years ago — to $78,008 under Buffett and Munger's leadership. But Buffett warned shareholders that they shouldn't expect that growth to continue at the same rate.
"Anyone who expects us to come close to what we've done in the past should sell their stock," Buffett said.
With Berkshire's current size, huge acquisitions would be needed to fuel significant growth, and it's hard to predict when those opportunities will come up.
Buffett said that until a few weeks ago he didn't know Berkshire would have an opportunity to help finance candymaker Mars Inc.'s $23 billion purchase of confectioner Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co.
"The Mars people only wanted to deal with Berkshire," he said.
Berkshire will supply $4.4 billion of subordinated debt to help fund the deal, which was announced Monday. And Buffett's company will invest $2.1 billion in a minority equity interest in the new Wrigley subsidiary once the deal closes.
In Berkshire's annual cartoon, part of a humorous movie at the start of the meeting, Buffett and Munger spoofed the presidential campaign. The cartoon depicted Munger running for president as a write-in candidate for a fictional "Financial Independence Party."
At a campaign event, the cartoon Munger delivered real change — by offering a boy two dimes for a quarter.
Munger also had an answer for all the nation's ills, all involving products made by Berkshire subsidiaries:
Global warming? Munger recommended eating a Dairy Queen Blizzard a day. Health care? Eat more See's Candy. Economic problems? Munger promised to put Buffett in charge of the Federal Reserve, the Treasury Department and the Commerce Department.
An animated Hillary Rodham Clinton laughed at the notion of Munger's candidacy, while Barack Obama lamented that he thought he was the candidate of change. The cartoon of Republican John McCain celebrated Munger's candidacy: "Excellent! A candidate older than I am."

Alternative therapies may help reduce your blood pressure, according to the American Heart Association.
An expert panel assessed three alternative remedy categories — exercise; behavioral therapies such as meditation; and devices or non-invasive procedures like acupuncture — and found that some can help people with blood pressure levels higher than 120/80 and those who don't respond well to standard medications:
- Aerobic exercise, resistance or strength training and isometric hand grip exercises were most effective.
- Biofeedback, transcendental meditation and device-guided slow-breathing techniques provided some benefit.
- There's not enough evidence to recommend acupuncture and yoga.
Alternative therapies should be an addition to — not a replacement for — proven methods to lower blood pressure, including engaging in 150 minutes of physical activity every week, managing weight, not smoking, eating a balanced diet and taking medication.
High blood pressure — a major risk factor for heart attack and stroke — affects more than 26 percent of the people in the world and contributes to more than 13 percent of premature deaths.

A latest report by IMARC Group entitled "Mung Beans Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2017-2022", finds that the global mung beans market reached a value of 3 Million Tons in 2016. Mung beans are the seeds of a plant called Vigna radiata, which belongs to the Fabaceae family. Like most other lentils, they are rich in essential dietary nutrients such as proteins, fibre, anti-oxidants and vitamins. The various minerals found in mung beans include potassium, copper, magnesium, manganese, zinc, etc. They are used with or without skin, split or whole, cooked or sprouted depending on the cuisine and properties desired in the dish. According to the report, the market is further expected to reach a value of around 5 Million Tons by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 7% during 2017-2022.
Request a free sample copy of the report: http://www.imarcgroup.com/request?type=report&id=648&flag=B
The primary factor which has driven the demand for mung beans is their diverse applications in the food industry. Mung beans are used in ready-to-eat food products such as canned soups, noodles, hummus, dips, protein powders, sandwiches and several other health foods. Due to their high nutritional value, mung beans are seen as an important and inexpensive source of energy and essential nutrients in developing regions such as India, China, Thailand, etc. Furthermore, mung beans also help in preventing and controlling certain ailments and lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, heart diseases, cancer, celiac disease, anaemia, osteoporosis, digestion, inflammation, etc. The phytoestrogens present in mung beans help in the production of collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin which are essential for young and healthy skin.
An analysis of the production and consumption trends of the mung beans market has been presented in the report. Mung beans have been cultivated in India, China and the South-east Asian region since ages. They are an important part of the various local cuisines including Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, Filipino, etc. On the basis of production, India represents the largest producer of mung beans accounting for the majority of the total global production in 2015. Other major producers of mung beans include China and Thailand. The report also covers the competitive landscape of the market and finds that it is fragmented in nature with a number of global and local players. The report further provides a detailed value chain analysis of mung beans. This encompasses all the activities in the value chain such as cultivation, procurement, processing, sales and distribution.
Click here for summary of the report with TOC: http://www.imarcgroup.com/prefeasibility-report-mung-bean-processing-plant
The report provides a detailed roadmap for setting up a mung beans processing plant. The study, which has been done by one of the world's leading research and advisory firms, covers all the essential aspects of the mung beans industry. This ranges from a comprehensive view of the market to minute details of the processing and manufacturing requirements, project cost, project funding, project economics, expected returns on investment, profit margins, etc. It also offers SWOT, Value Chain and Porter's Five Forces analysis and regional segmentation followed by an analysis of the competitive landscape. This report is a must-read for entrepreneurs, investors, researchers, consultants, business strategists and all those who have any kind of stake or are planning to foray into the mung beans industry in any manner.

DURHAM, N.C. -- Duke freshman Quinn Cook earned ACC Rookie of the Week honors for the first time this season after scoring a career-best 14 points in last Monday's 90-63 win over UNC Greensboro. Cook becomes the second Blue Devil freshman honored with the weekly award this season.
After a scoreless first half against the Spartans, the Hyattsville, Md., freshman guard went 6-of-6 from the field (1.000) with a pair of three-pointers in the second half. Cook added two assists and one steal in only 18 minutes of action for the seventh-ranked Blue Devils.
Cook now has two double-figure scoring games this season while averaging 4.1 points, 0.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. He is shooting 46.7 percent (14-of-30) from the field and 80.0 percent (12-of-15) from the free throw line.
Duke returns to action on Friday, Dec. 30 with a 7pm home contest against Western Michigan. The game will be televised by ESPN2 as the Blue Devil look to extend their home winning streak to 42 consecutive games

Summary and Context:
Today I will introduce the concept of thin and thick questions. I will create a chart to contrast the difference, and I have two pictures of familiar, real life objects to demonstrate the difference. Teaching students to evaluate/critique their own learning is part of teaching to the CCSS and helps them to be active in constructing their own learning. With the thin and thick concept, I am giving them a simple but powerful tool by which to understand and evaluate questions.
After I model how to ask questions, my students will browse their literary text of Babu's Song and create different types of questions using a template I provide. Then, they will pair-share their questions. After that, we will read the text and the students will answer one thin and one thick question.
Lesson Opening:
With the students on the rug, I start by sharing the objective. Then, with the help of my students we categorize the words: who, what, when, where, why, and how under the headings of thin and thick on a chart I have ready to use. We place who, what, when, and where under "thin," and we place why and how under "thick." Though questions starting with each of these stems don't always fit neatly into the categories (for example, a who question might be "thicker" than a how question in some contexts), I want to teach my students a concrete way of understanding the levels to start. Later, we can explore the overlaps and complexities once they have a solid foundation.
To categorize the stems, I start by defining what makes a thin question and what makes a thick question. To help my students visualize the concept of think and thick questions, I printed a photograph of a small hamburger from McDonalds for thin questions. For thick questions, I use an image of the Big Mac. I downloaded the photos from Google images, and they are free to use. I feel these two familiar images will help my students understand the concepts I am teaching them. I invite you to choose the images that best fit the needs of your classroom.
Then, to demonstrate the concept of creating thin and thick questions with a text, I use the example of The Empty Pot by Remi. I model how to browse the text and ask questions. I am not reading it at this time, just modeling questioning briefly. As I look at the title page, I ponder out loud, "I can ask a question here. I want to know, "Where does the boy live?' Do you think that's a think or thick question? Why?"
Next, I share with them that they will take the question they create and write it on a template I have provided for them. I tell them that in this case, I would need to find the word where and write my question in that box. I proceed until I finish the rest of the question words.
Last, I ask how they have interpreted think and thick questions to check for understanding. One of my student answers: DefiningThin & Thick Questions. Confident that they understand the concept, I hand each the template and ask them to find Babu's Song in their anthologies to get started questioning.
Students browse their text, Babu's Song, by Stephanie Stuve-Bodeen, and write thin and thick questions about it on their templates. As students write and talk, I walk around to monitor their behavior and provide support to those students who need it.
Some will need reminders that they are not to read the story but browse it. Others will need support to find the questions words on their Template.
One of the methods that I use to make sure my students are on task and making progress with it is that I ask them questions. In this case, I want to know what type of questions they are generating. Most students are ready and willing to share their work. Here are few examples:
As I ask students to share their work, then I get an idea of how to support them. I also get to praise them and this works wonders.
My students need much practice with academic language, and I try to give them as many opportunities practicing oral language as possible.
I bring them back to the rug. I have them pair-share their questions with their rug partner, sitting knee-to-knee and facing each other, eye-to-eye.
Then, we have a brief discussion about what we learned today about thin and thick questions. I remind them that thin questions can be answered easy. Thick questions require more thinking, more work to find the answers.
Now we read the story together. I have different options to read. Today, we will read the story with audio. I am choosing to read it this way to give my students a sense of the story in a fast paced way. Also, I use the audio sometimes because it offers the students a different voice, which helps students focus and stay motivated. The audio it can be found on youtube.
Here is the clip:
As students read along, I walk around to help monitor their reading behavior. I am looking for them to be on the right page and to be tracking their reading with their bookmarks or their pointer finger. A couple of students are able to track with their eyes, but most need the physical object to help them do so. I invite you to think of the way you want your students to track their reading.
To transition to them answering a thin and thick question, I ask them to get up and stretch. I will be guiding them in some brain dance movements. This is quick time for the to reenergize and get refocused. We always start with the breathing. I am attaching a document that lists the eight movements you can use: Brain Dance Movements.
Now my students works to answer two of their questions. To model quickly what to do, I draw a T-Chart on the board. I tell them they will choose two questions: a thin and a thick question to answer. They will work in their response journals to do so.
I set the time on the clock. I do this intentionally so that they can see how much time they have. It works to keep them on task.
As they work, I walk around and monitor their work. Some need support drawing a t-chart, others need support getting started and choosing the questions. Others will need support answering them.
I am looking to see that they reread the text to answer the questions. I am looking for them to answer in a complete sentence. Those who finish earlier than the allotted time can illustrate.
Here are some of their work samples:

COBB Tunning 715100BK SF Intake System 08 Subaru STI
The C.A.R.B. certified COBB Tuning SF Intake utilizes our custom design to optimize flow for ideal performance. The custom conical cloth filter feeds filtered air directly to the engine, while maintaining optimal intake velocity and minimizing turbulence found with many aftermarket intake systems.
Note: The COBB Tuning SF Intake system for the 2008+ STI requires use of specific OTS (off the shelf mapping) provided for our AccessPORT ecu tuning device.
Our system utilizes several unique features in an effort to maintain optimal flow for performance while minimizing turbulence that can cause engine management problems. From a custom conical cloth air-filter element, we use a CFD-designed velocity stack leading to an unique air flow straightener grid. This straightener grid is specifically designed to smooth the incoming air flow as it passes the Mass Air Flow sensor for precise readings. This eliminates the ""dead spots"" experienced by other aftermarket intakes due to turbulence. NO other aftermarket Subaru intake system utilizes these critical design elements.
In order to provide a system that looks as good on the outside as the technical advancements happening on the inside, we utilize a one piece design constructed from a high temperature plastic composite. Not only does this save weight compared to the previous metal design, the plastic composite material offers much better heat rejection properties that help keep intake air temperatures cooler. In contrast, intake systems constructed using metal castings or piping can actually retain underhood heat and in turn heat the incoming air.

2020 Sales Force Automation (SFA) Software Pricing Guide
Learn about the key aspects of accurate software pricing before you make your purchase decision.
Pricing models & ranges
Unexpected costs
Pricing of popular systems
There are over 100 sales force automation (SFA) software systems on the market. These systems come in all flavors, including:
- Solutions for small businesses
- Solutions for large enterprises
- Solutions for companies that sell through channel partners
- Solutions for specific industries
We've written this buyer's guide to not only provide a definition of SFA software, but also to provide a lay of the land for software buyers who are trying to make sense of this complex market.
Here's what we'll cover:
What Is SFA Software?
What Type of Buyer Are You?
Benefits and Potential Issues
Market Trends to Understand
The Vendor Landscape
What Is SFA Software?
"Coffee is for closers," but SFA promises to help the entire team close more deals. Sales management software helps companies manage their reps and their activities. At the individual level, sales automation software helps reps manage accounts, leads, opportunities and customer interactions. Meanwhile, it helps management generate more accurate forecasts and gain better insight into opportunities.
Core CRM sales software functionality includes contact management, lead management, opportunity management, pipeline management, forecasting and territory management. More advanced systems will include modules for proposal and quote generation, order management, marketing automation, collateral management and sales enablement, scripting, computer telephony integration and social media integration.
Best-of-breed sales database software products such as Sage ACT! or Salesforce.com are often implemented as a completely stand alone system or in conjunction with marketing automation and lead management software. Other buyers choose to implement SFA software as part of a complete customer relationship management (CRM) suite, such as Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Finally, SFA can also be implemented as part of an enterprise resource planning (ERP) suite like Oracle or SAP. Which strategy you pursue will largely depend on your need for the SFA system to share data with other customer management or ERP systems, as well as whether the SFA from your existing vendors addresses your current company needs.
What Type of Buyer Are You?
Before evaluating sales force automation systems, you'll need to assess what kind of buyer you are. We believe at least 90 percent of buyers fall into one of the following categories:
Direct sell buyer. These sales management software buyers work for organizations that sell through direct field reps, telesales teams or both. These buyers have the most straightforward requirements and a wide range of providers meet their needs.
Channel selling buyer. These buyers work for organizations that sell through a network of channel partners. These buyers need specialized functionality for passing leads, registering deals and tracking partner performance.
Enterprise buyer. These buyers work for very large organizations, which often have a wide range of selling models. Their goals include unifying activity across channels and integrating their SFA with other enterprise systems—a complex undertaking.
Small business CRM buyer. These buyers work for small businesses moving beyond contact tracking capabilities of products like Microsoft Outlook, and want to add capabilities for lead, opportunity, deal tracking and reporting.
Benefits and Potential Issues
An SFA tool must benefit both managers and the reps. The following are the minimum benefits that should be realized with a successful implementation:
Reduce cost per sale. The critical return for any system is that deals closed increase and the cost per sale goes down. The traditional measures are a reduction in the time from contact to sale, and increase in the ratio of closures to contacts, or an increase in the number of contacts with the same ratio of closures to contacts.
Increase rep accountability. With formal SFA tools and procedures, sales representatives can see exactly what they are reporting to management. Sales reps can also document lead generation and productivity.
Forecast sales more accurately. Sales contact software can track such metrics as conversion rates from leads to opportunities to closed deals, allowing an organization to more accurately forecast. This is particularly beneficial when combined with historical seasonality information.
Improve client retention rates. Coupled with other information from a customer management system, an SFA system can ensure that clients are contacted in advance of contract expiration dates. Contact management sales software can also alert the customer rep to any issues with their client accounts.
Gain analytical insight. Sales automation software consolidates and reports on each representative's activities, freeing the representatives from mundane periodic reporting and allowing them to focus on selling and customer relations.
As with all technology, there are potential issues with sales management software as well. First and foremost is the risk of compromising client privacy, particularly if it's implemented on easy-to-lose (or steal) mobile devices. This can be mitigated through the use of proper security procedures and encryption technology. A second issue is employee resistance to adoption; some people find the tools too difficult, too limiting, or too intrusive. This is generally a training issue. The third issue is a management issue; SFA tools drastically increase what can be measured and managed but that does not mean that everything should be measured or managed. The granularity of management required varies from organization to organization and even from manager to manager and representative to representative.
Market Trends to Understand
These market trends should be considered as you perform a sales force automation software comparison and select a product and vendor.
Software as a Service (SaaS). SaaS solutions have become very popular and comprise greater than 50 percent of new purchases. Low upfront costs and little to no hardware requirements are reasons for the uptake in adoption of online sales software that sits "in the cloud." Another benefit is increased accessibility, which means that regardless of whether you're a Mac or PC, you can still easily access the software. The dominant leader in this market is Salesforce.com. Buyers should evaluate this new model with an open mind.
Mobile applications. Mobile SFA applications are very popular and changing rapidly. The devices your system supports and the attractiveness of its mobile app will be a huge influence on your team's attitude toward adopting the system. More and more systems provide integration with the major mobile platforms. Some are even Mac-based, with native integration with iPhone/iPad. For reviews of those systems, you can reference our article on CRM and Sales Force Automation for Mac, or our guide on mobile CRM options. While improving rapidly, small factor devices still present challenges—they don't always do everything their desktop siblings can.
Social media. Leading SFA vendors are discovering the meaning of social media for business and are capitalizing on developments in that area. In fact, this is driving the emergence of a new market, Social CRM. For example, Salesforce has its Chatter application. Oracle OnDemand interfaces with Facebook, allowing a rep to see if there is anyone they know in common with a prospect. Buyers should consider their social media strategy as they evaluate SFA solutions.
ERP suites offering strong CRM. Solutions from enterprise-suite vendors like Oracle, SAP, Sage, Epicor and Infor have matured—in some cases through acquisitions. Enterprise suite buyers will naturally look to their ERP vendor for customer management solutions, but direct and indirect selling buyers should also consider solutions from these large players. Oracle and SAP are particularly strong in customer relationship management.
The Vendor Landscape
While the sales force CRM landscape is highly fragmented and may at first appear confusing, the available programs are differentiated by their appeal to the different buyer types.

Cray(redirected from Cray, Inc)
Also found in: Dictionary.
Cray(Cray, Inc., Seattle, WA, www.cray.com) A supercomputer manufacturer founded in 1972 as Cray Research, Inc., by Seymour Cray, a leading designer of large-scale computers at Control Data. In 1976, it shipped its first computer to Los Alamos National Laboratory. The CRAY-1 was a 75 MHz, 64-bit machine with a peak speed of 160 megaFLOPS, making it the world's fastest vector processor.
Over the years the company has introduced numerous models of entry-level to high-end supercomputers including the X-MP, Y-MP, C90, T90, J90, T3E, SV1, SV2 and MTA series. All Unix based, they are used for many different industrial, technical and commercial applications.
In 1989, Seymour Cray left his company to found Cray Computer Corporation, which closed six years later. In 1996, Cray Research was acquired by Silicon Graphics, Inc. (SGI). In 2000, Tera Computer Company acquired the vector processor technology from SGI and changed its name to Cray, Inc. The company's latest high-performance computing systems are microprocessor based and use x86 chips from AMD and Intel.

Lay it like a chain be on, we on Cream Team
Play on, with all grey on, flavor like crayon

A back-to-back seal describes two shaft seals mounted back-to-back to provide a higher level of safety and reliability.
The term is commonly used in sealing engineering to describe an arrangement with two shaft seals mounted back-to-back.
The seal arrangement is suitable for toxic, explosive and poisonous liquids when no leakage from the pumped medium to the atmosphere can be accepted.
Between the two seals is a pressurised barrier fluid. The pressure of the barrier fluid is higher than the pump pressure. This means that any leakage will pass from the barrier fluid to the pumped liquid. The barrier fluid pressure must be minimum 2 bar or 10 % above the pump pressure. As the clean barrier fluid has a higher pressure, it also serves as a lubricant for all seal faces.
The back-to-back shaft seal arrangement is particularly suitable for viscous and/or abrasive media. The seal arrangement prevents the pumped medium from entering the seal gap and consequently prevents excessive wear.

Enter Infernal Restraints Now!
Chained and Tamed
Dixon Mason sums up the allure of device bondage perfectly. With rope there is wiggle room, there is a chance to writhe and escape, but with iron there is no hope. It is cold and unyielding, the perfect counter point to the sensuality of rope. She loves being bound and beaten. Every one of her sexual fantasies involves heavy restraints. The feeling of the devices is exactly what she wants....

Nice flower dad. It reminds me that sometimes the most beautiful things are right in front of our eyes but we often take them for granted. Slightly obscured by our own false wants and needs. But truly there nonetheless. Knowing when to pick them is crucial. So is knowing when to leave them alone and walk away. And a kiss. That is a whole other story...
