Part 1: Conversation with Brad Mottier, Vice President at GE Business & General Aviation
The Business Aviation Law Blog had a chance to speak with Brad Mottier, the vice president at GE Business & General Aviation. In this two-post series, we discuss with Mr. Mottier the role GE has played in the business aviation market and where the industry is headed. In this first post, we look at the business aviation industry as a whole and its future internationally. We explore the role China will play in the years to come as well as GE's continued dedication to improving business aviation. In the next post we will discuss some of GE's technological advancements in its new engines.
Business Aviation Law Blog: GE Aviation is a world-leading provider of jet and turboprop engines and components for commercial, business and military aircraft. What does GE Aviation see as the market outlook in the business aviation industry? What are the challenges and opportunities?
Brad Mottier: The business jet segment has been affected by the economic downturn. In 2008, the segment saw record orders with the enthusiasm generated by the air taxis and new small planes launched. This resulted in inflated sales figures, which were not sustainable. I am hopeful that business aviation industry is poised for recovery in next few years that will coincide with the entry into service of several of GE's new engines, like the GE Honda Aero Engine's HF120 on the HondaJet and GE's Passport on the Bombardier Global 7000 and Global 8000 aircraft.
Business Aviation Law Blog: China has emerged as both a leader in the business aviation industry and as a significant potential customer. What is the market outlook in China and how has GE positioned itself to take advantage?
Mottier: GE considers China to be a growth region for all segments of aviation with the increasing number of airports in China and the sheer number of potential passengers living in the country. We are actively talking to potential customers in China and look forward to expanding our business into this region.
Business Aviation Law Blog: I know that GE's Business and General Aviation division had a booth at the 2012 European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition ("EBACE") back in May in Geneva, Switzerland. Can you share some of your impressions of the convention that you think would be of interest to our readers?
Mottier: Air shows like EBACE as well as Farnborough, at which GE showcased the H80 engine for the first time at this major show, are a great chance to talk with our airframe customers as well as those that fly our planes. GE Aviation exhibits at many aerospace conventions around the world—but there is nothing better than attending a show where we get a chance to talk with our customers and hear straight from them what is working well with our engines and customer/product support. A few weeks ago, I was at Oshkosh where I met many customers and I get to see a lot of aviation innovation firsthand.
Business Aviation Law Blog: How did the GE Business and General Aviation division help support the 2012 Olympic Games in London?
Mottier: According to the UK Civil Aviation Authority, business aircraft flights to southeast London were expected to increase by more than 3,000 during the summer's 2012 Olympics. To help support these customers who operate GE-powered aircraft, GE Aviation formed a strategic arrangement with Ocean Sky Jet Centre, a Luton fixed-base operator (FBO). Dedicated GE Aviation field service representation were on-site at Ocean Sky Jet Centre through the Olympics. GE's mobile repair team were available for any line maintenance needs. GE Aviation also strategically positioned new and exchange materials in the region for easy access.
Business Aviation Law Blog: Where can our readers obtain more information about GE's Business and General Aviation division?
Mottier: You can find more information about GE's BGA division at http://geaviation.com/bga or connect with us on Facebook at http://facebook.com/gebga.
Check back for the second part of our conversation with Brad Mottier. We discuss GE's new engines and their environmental impact.


text: Mainly for advanced learners of English! Just recently, a student asked me why some English words end with –ship and what is its meaning. This was a very good question and the answer is interesting. Short Answer! The short answer is that the ending –ship changes a word from concrete to abstract. A concrete thing is something real or something you can see or hear or feel. An abstract thing is an idea or a concept or a principle. leader/leadership So, a leader is concrete. Every country and every business and every organisation has leaders. So a leader is something concrete. But leadership is abstract. It means the ideas or principles that go together with being a good leader. son/sonship In the same way, a son is something concrete. I do not have to explain what a son is –everyone knows. But sonship is an abstract thing. Sonship means the ideas, the principles that go together with being a son. So, another way of explaining what the ending –ship does to a word is to say that it changes the word from something concrete to what it means to be the thing. So leadership is what is required to be a leader. Sonship is what is required to be a son. Friendship is what is required tobe a friend. Membership is what is required tobe a member. Examples: Here are some other words ending in –ship. The first group is words that are very common and worth learning. The second group are not so common but interesting. Group A: relationship, championship, leadership, membership, friendship, sponsorship Group B: sonship, companionship, horsemanship, fellowship, generalship, kingship Examples of the words in a sentence: * Napoleon was a famous French leader who conquered much of Europe. * One of the features of Napoleon's leadership was that he knew all his officers and their families by name. * In the early years of Australia nearly every person was a horseman – it was often the only means of transport. * The first secret of horsemanship is very simple – 'Don't fall off the horse!' * A person who has no friends is a very lonely person indeed. * Friendship is always two ways; true friends accept you as you are and you must accept your friends as they are. If you have any trouble, send me an email. Have fun! Lindsey |

Corrosion of Conformity's Mike Dean on New Lineup, Cult Status
Monday's show at Grand Central marks a rarity for South Florida metal and hardcore heads. When Corrosion of Conformity appears to headline the sprawling downtown Miami venue, not only will it be the band's only Florida show on its current run, but it'll be the band's first in our pocket of the state in 15 years. That last show was in an opening slot for Metallica at the Miami Arena.
Of course, the arena was razed in 2008, before eventually being refashioned this year into the new public Grand Central Park — just across the street from Corrosion of Conformity's Monday gig. That could serve as an oblique metaphor for the journey of the band itself, which, unsurprisingly, has weathered some major changes.
There's been its path from underground cult hardcore act to barely-overground Southern/stoner/progressive metal act, then back underground with more musical weirdness. Then there have been the lineup changes one would expect from a 30-year career. Nearly every major member has left and come back at some point, but the most recent instance of that is probably the most dramatic: Vocalist and guitarist Pepper Keenan, long considered the face of the band during its most commercially viable days in the '90s and early '00s, is nowhere to be found on the band's most recent, curiously self-titled album. Chalk this up to his increasing involvement with Down, a sort of metal supergroup featuring Pantera's Phil Anselmo on vocals, rather than any particularly hard feelings.
"We were supposed to play some festivals in Europe at his own suggestion, and we didn't, and then Down actually performed those very festivals," says Mike Dean, Corrosion of Conformity's mellow bassist. "We were a little bit fired up because we wanted to play, so we figured, let's go play some shows as a three-piece. Then, we wanted to have some new material to throw into the set, and then at that point, we thought we'd just make an album as a three-piece."
The result was the group's eighth studio album, yet one with a debut record-style title of simply the band's name. This was on purpose, says Dean. He and guitarist Woody Weatherman and drummer Reed Mullin started out as a raw three-piece in 1982 and stayed that way until Keenan joined in 1989 — and that tight-knit trio energy is still what forms the heart of the band's genre-crossing sound. "If I didn't think it was a Corrosion of Conformity record without him, I don't think we would have called the album Corrosion of Conformity. Anticipating such a question is part of the impetus for the self-titled thing," Dean says.
Keenan may one day re-join the band, if schedules align — Dean says he likes the term "member at large." But by all accounts, they're doing just fine musically without him. The self-titled LP is stripped-down but muscley, full of the kinds of swampy flourishes and low-end churning that the band does best. There's also still a tiny bit of that old hardcore past, expressed more as a certain energy than anything musical.
What that means is that despite the band's definite cult status, it continues to enjoy an infusion of fresh blood at its shows.
"There is a surprising number of kids, at least where we're from, who have this neo-hardcore scene with house parties and things like that. There are a lot of kids who are into these old-ass bands like CoC and Black Flag and more obscure ones, in this almost strange historical kind of way," says Dean. "Then I see other younger people who are into this more current heavy music, the more underground stuff. So I think we hold a certain amount of interest for either of those groups coming up, as well as the old people who had to get a babysitter to come out to the gig!"
Corrosion of Conformity. With Holly Hunt, Consular, and Shroud Eater. 8 p.m. Monday, March 19 at Grand Central, 697 N. Miami Ave., Miami. Tickets cost $18; age 18 and up. Call 305-377-2277, or visit grandcentralmiami.com.

Problem dealing with high serve in doubles
I have been playing badminton for almost 14 years, mainly singles. But last 2 years, I play doubles most.
I consider myself very attacking. Never like to miss out on an opportunity to smash in doubles. And for me, I always see my opponents serve as an opportunity for an immediate kill-And believe me, I am very good at it. I am 6.1 tall and well built which gives me very good reach either on low serve or flick serves.
But recently my opponent exposed a weakness in my game. He is also very good player, has won may tournaments in doubles. After I attacked a few serves, he changed the game plan and used very high serves to my back courts (Doubles). I was immediately thrilled as I could play smash. But soon it worked against me. They were able to return almost anything I threw at them from that position and gain the attack and my timing has gone really bad. I hit net many times and my joints started paining because of the miss timed shots. I thought, I was not mentally prepared. But next day also story remained same (they both have very good defense).
Please advice me on,
1. What is the best shot and angle against a high serve in defense?
2. if my first option does not work (smash), what is the next choice?
3. What is the best formation for us when we see a high serve? (Front back or side attacking?)
Thank you in advance,
1. The best shot is to smash
2. second best option is to fast drop
3. front back for sure
One question i must ask, are your shuttles old/flying too slow? If not, your opponents defense might be just too good. Or is it your partner not having the confidence to cut flat shuttles from passing him? Are your smashes too flat? too predictable? i'm just guessing though...quite hard to tell without actually watching you play :P
I'd say a good split step back and a quick high jump would help in utilizing a smash, as long as your standing in good receiving position. Then fake em out with a drop.
We play with SOTX which are decent or sometimes plastic (Mavis 350 green)-So shuttle may not be an issue.
I have a very good smash which I am really proud of. Normally, my oponent do not use high sereve to me even in singles tournaments. But one good point you mentioned-Front back. My partner was not doing that. He was either late to come front or was easly deceived with a push or drive.
And about their defence, I should say, very good. Normally rally would not end with one very good smash-but gives us a better position. But in this case, they were easly gaining the attack.
You have to be a bit careful when smashing a high serve, as the timing is difficult and you may also hit the feathers (which causes you to lose control of the shot).
A smash is definitely the shot to play, but it may take some practice to get the timing right. It's wise to slow down your smash a little at first, which helps ensure that you contact the shuttle clearly.
And of course, a drop shot is fine too.
How exactly were they gaining the attack? What shots were they playing in response to your smash? The fact that they return the shuttle isn't a problem. If they return it high, you can smash again (or drop). If they return it low, your partner should be able to deal with it. So what is happening?
Well, it is not that they straight away gain the attack.
If somebody does a high serve to me and they do not loose the rally within next 3 or 4 shorts, I consider it as my failure.
This case, my smash was weak and they were smart enough to capitalize on that. They moved their base one step close to net and were ready to intercept any week reply. It would be suicidal for me to try a drop when they can pounce on it.
I consulted a coach today who visited our club and these were his observations.
1. My footwork tempo was wayward. I was rushing to the position and waiting long for the shuttle to come down. (It does not happen with singles high serve because, I have one extra step to move)
2. I was stretching too much & hence was not making full contact to the sweet spot.
He suggested these corrections
- Have a very relaxed footwork to the back court just to be there on time to greet the bird.
- Once there, get in to smash ready position, pause a second, allow the shuttle to be a couple of inches closer to me than earlier-then go for smash.
- Third was in line with what Gollum suggested, tap the shuttle down a few times & ensure timing, look for the sound and feel, increase smash speed gradually.
I am yet to play with the same opponents and try these out. But I trust him.
very true...since you've been palying singles for so many years, i think it won't take long before you get used to timing a powerful jumpsmash off those high serves.
it's just like a high serve in singles. The only difference now is that you can take the shuttle even earlier. When you jump and hit it steep, drop or smash, it is quite impossible for your opponents to counterattack. They can only keep defending till you hit a less steep shot.
So like alexh have mentioned, you need to analyse how exactly are they counterattacking you. Is it a shot past your partner, but ahead of you that's posing problems for you to continue attacking? Or is it your partner not taking early/quick enough at the net? Or is it cross court returns that you find difficult to reach?
Also after you can time your smashes better, you can vary your smash/drop positions by observing how your opponent tend to move/stand.
I don't have the experience of some of you guys, but here's my thoughts anyway, for what they're worth.
Your opponents clearly know something about your game, and are aware of your powerful smash. They seem confident that their defence is good enough to deal with it, and from what you're saying they appear to be correct.
I think analysing what happens after they deal with the smash is good, but I'm not sure it will get you to the root of the problem.
It it were me, I'd like to know more about their game, and how they react to certain shots.
For instance, where do they stand as they defend the smash? You have a powerful and I assume relatively steep smash, which leads me to believe that they will be defending probably at the front edge of mid-court, probably using a wide square stance. Problem with that is they can't move backwards quickly at all, particularly if they're not expecting that they will have to. We all know, lift a shuttle high to a man with a great smash, and he's gonna use it!
I'd be tempted to use the attacking (flat) clear to gain control, and make them think and work, rather than let them simply feed off yor power. With good disguise the attacking clear can be a great shot to play.
Couple that with a disguised slice-drop, particularly to the centre forecourt, and you should be back in control.
This of course is allowing that my assumptions are corect - I would need to know more about your opponents to be able to make a better comment.
So, do they defend deep or close ? Do they show a particular defence (FH or BH)? How do they handle shots to the centre of the court? How agile and quick are they?
As a last resort, you could always let the air out of their tyres in the car park :-)
if theyre stepping into the net ready to push, and your on the right court , just punch a really flat fast clear down their backhand tram. That should stop them coming forward. Also, i find if you relax for your first smash to get the feeling and angle before you open up for a hard one for the 2nd or 3rd.
where do you put your smash? i mean the angle of your smash? do you smash the shuttle to the same area most of the time?
you have to change the angle of your smash, and, just like others said, make a sudden drop or clear so that your opponents couldn't read your shot.
i have a friend too who's good in flick serve, what i do is i do not stand near the short service line so i can hit the shuttle on time when he makes a high serve. and i thank him because i learned the round-the-head shots, make a cross-court drop, smash the shuttle to the mid-court or to the sides, sometimes steep and sometimes flat reaching the baseline.
how are they counterattacking you? you and your partner should be aware how they return your smash, by push, by a counter-drop or by lifting the shuttle towards you or a cross-court lift.
As your coach says, slow down a bit when getting to the bird so that you don't lose momentum of your body when you smash. And are you aiming down the middle to create confusion for the defenders? Another good place to aim for is the hip or chest on the racket side... this will mean a change in angle of you smash. Thirdly, change the speed of your smash to keep them guessing.
I guess what I'm saying is try working on the accuracy and placement of your smashes before you lay on the power. Get your partner to practice this with you by serving high.
There's an easy solution to this, considering your opponent is expecting you to smash and is covering the net from his serve. Simply drive it into his partner's backhand which, given his partner is right-handed, will be straight down the line. It's a simple shot and automatically gives you the advantage in that your opponent's are the ones under pressure. If you have to smash then definitely go down the line, after a high serve your opponent will have time to prepare and a cross-court smash will simply take too long.

I used DIA-IN under the following scenario:
I know all my piping diameters and lengths (i.e. 1" through 36") from ISO's and surveys. In the IFB package, we requested from contractors costs for each piping system. Each piping system may consist of different piping size.
Design changes are inevitable during construction and commissioning, so In order to know the contractor's cost for change orders, In the IFB package, under unit cost, instead of requesting a cost for a weld/X-ray/Coating joint/etc for each pipe size, we typically lump them all in one category, example:
1a. Cost for girth weld ...................$___5________/dia-in (add) 1.b Cost for girth weld ..................$___4________/dia-in (delete)
2.a Cost to FBE coat pipe joint .......$____3_______/dia-in (add)
2.b Cost to FBE coat pipe joint ...$_____2.5______/dia-in (delete)
(the costs for each line items are filled by the bidders with their bids for the project prior to contract award).
So to add a 30" weld the cost would be: 30" x 3.14 * 5 = $471
to add a 4.5" weld the cost would be: 4.5" x 3.14 * 5 = $71
to delete a 30" weld the cost would be: 30" x 3.14 * 4 = $376.
Typically, the difference between add and delete represents the contractor's profit. Ethically, when deleting a weld, the contractor's total profit from the contract should not be affected.
This is just my humble opinion.

Riverside Trail Ride . . .
So yesterday I convinced Brandon to drag Liz along for a ride and I'd drag Teri along. I thought we were going to all go together on a nice leisurely ride together . . . maybe 10 - 15 miles. Apparently Brandon had a different idea. So Teri and Liz on their Treks headed south while Brandon and I headed north. We went from the green bridge in Kent on up to Southcenter and back. The way out I was feeling really good and we were constantly above 16 - 17MPH . . . but on the way back we had a serious headwind and our average dropped quite a bit. Oh well, riding 2 days in a row is good. Almost 16 miles on this ride.Here are the details:

Box Score | 16-Game Season Stats
BEXLEY, Ohio—The Heidelberg University softball team opened Ohio Athletic Conference play today, falling to Capital University, 6-5 in 10 innings, at Clowson Field in Bexley, Ohio. The second game of what was scheduled to be a doubleheader was halted in the fifth inning due to darkness and will not count toward the OAC standings.
A two-run double by senior right handed pitcher Lexie Pinkelman (Metamora/Evergreen) with two outs in the top of the third inning knotted the score, 2-2, and the Berg (9-7, 0-1 OAC) increased its lead to 5-2 after rallying for three runs—again with two outs—in the fourth inning on RBI singles by sophomore second baseman Erica Huffman (Strongsville) and sophomore center fielder Jami Wagner (Alvada/New Riegel).
Capital (12-5, 1-0 OAC) tallied a run in the bottom half of the fourth and tied the score in the sixth when Devan Boggs hit a two-run home run.
Neither team could score in the seventh to force extra innings. A bases loaded single by Brooke Billings in the 10th gave the Crusaders the win in the first game.
Wagner was 2-for-5 with a RBI and a run scored in the first game. On the mound, Pinkelman took Heidelberg into the 10th inning, allowing 13 hits and striking out 11, but fell to 3-3.
Lexi Majoy, Kelsey Swain, Boggs and Billings each had a pair of safeties for Capital. Alyssa Patznick worked all 10 on the mound and allowed eight hits and struck out nine to earn the win.
The Berg continues its 10-game road trip tomorrow Saturday at Wilmington College in an OAC doubleheader at 1 p.m.

PARIS (AP) - Police say the Eiffel Tower has been evacuated after an anonymous caller phoned in a bomb threat.
A Paris police official said Saturday that nearly 1,400 people were evacuated following a request from tower operators after the warning Saturday. Police then searched the monument with sniffer dogs for possible explosives, and set up a broad security perimeter.
French authorities have stepped up counterterrorism measures in recent weeks amid heightened concern about threats to France over its military campaign against al-Qaida-linked fighters in Mali which began more than two months ago.
The tower is occasionally evacuated because of such warnings - at least once last year and twice in 2011. The 324-meter (1,063-foot) tower is one of the world's top tourist attractions, with millions of visitors a year.

FT How to Spend It - April edition
Posted by charlotte on April 15th, 2009In the April issue of the Financial Times' How to Spend It guide, Katrina Burroughs explores the "crescendo of curves" that she says has been creeping into design vocabulary the last few years. In her article "Arcs de triomphe", Burroughs includes a quote from one of our favourite clients, Tiffany Wood, who told her about the kitchen we designed for her home in Bath:
Tiffany Wood, an interior designer based in Bath, commissioned her cabinetry from Johnny Grey, the original promoter of the wavy line in kitchen design. Grey's kitchens start at £75,000 and each is a unique work of ergonomic art. Wood chose a mixture of walnut, sycamore and oak, with polished concrete and lava stone, and asked for 'curves every which way: vertical and horizontal.' Thrilled with the result, she says 'It's far more relaxing to be in a space where you know you aren't going to bang into a corner. We have no sharp edges.'
Best of all, she finds the curves lend themselves to her frantic family life, maximising the ratio of work surface to floor space. 'I have three children and they have countless cousins, and they all love to cook. They come and make pancakes crowded round the great big worktops - I can squeeze in 12 children round those curves.' Wood adds: 'My curvy kitchen is warm and friendly. It does make people smile.' Ah, the most important curve of all.
See the full article on page 19 of the April 2008 How to Spend It digital edition.
When recently asked about his use of curves, Johnny explained it as follows:
My use of curves was initiated from the way peripheral eye vision works. Corners stimulate one's defence mechanism. Imagine a tunnel four feet wide with spiky rocks sticking out. All you will do is focus on preventing being hurt. If the same tunnel is lined with upholstery, you breeze down it thinking of the beautiful experience you will be having in bed or at the table tomorrow. When peripheral vision is activated, you use much more brain capacity because it is all about self defence and the hormones associated with flight and fight mechanisms – which will then be activated. Full frontal vision is so much part of our normal day to day experience that we effectively can focus on other tasks or experiences and the 'nice' emotions. Plus curves work satisfactorily with the body and eye from a symmetrical perspective.
Washington Post - April 10, 2009
Posted by charlotte on April 14th, 2009Check out columnist Katherine Salant's recent piece, "Kitchens Where Every Last Detail Is Weighed and Measured", in the April 10 edition of the Washington Post.
She eloquently explains how Johnny's unconventional approach differs from traditional American kitchen design:
Grey's unconventional kitchens are a radical departure from conventional American ones. They feature jazzy colors, original artwork, playful, custom cabinetry best described as "sculptural" and work areas that are carefully tailored to a client's measurements.
She continues:
American kitchen designers tend to box up everything behind closed cabinet doors, but Grey prefers open storage adjacent to the place where an item is used. He maintains this is more convenient, eliminates unnecessary movement and makes the space feel lived in. He puts plate racks above the dishwasher, open racks below a cooktop for large pots and hooks above it for cooking utensils or smaller pots.

5 Questions to Ask Before Implementing Technology in Your Classroom
Implementing changes, even on a small scale, can be overwhelming, especially when those changes have the potential to affect a group of impressionable young students. As with any major decision, it is important to consider how you will introduce the change, how it will affect the current situation, and what the potential benefits are. As an educator, keeping up with current technology trends can prove to be a challenge. It can be difficult to deicide how to best utilize different forms of technology that will not only hold the students' interests, but also improve the learning process for them while not impeding the way you want to manage your classroom. The following 5 questions have been developed to assist you in deciding how to best incorporate technology into your classroom. Following each question are brief explanations of the strategies I used to enhance the students' use of technology in my classroom.
1. Why do you want to implement technology in your classroom?Early in my career I was guilty of just wanting to implement new technology because, well, I just wanted to play with the latest and greatest toys. However, I also had an action plan that supported my curiosity. I attribute my planning to my years spent in the film and TV industry. You would never show up for a production without an idea, script/storyboard, shot list, production schedule, etc. Understanding why you want to do something will provide you at least a concrete idea of what you would like to accomplish.
2. How will technology enhance your teaching skills?
Once you have formulated the idea (i.e., I want to use iPods so students can individually learn from Podcasts), you will have to understand how it will improve the classroom environment or assist in teaching your students. When I first purchased iPods for the use of implementing video Podcasts, I thought it was as simple as downloading the Podcasts from iTunes, syncing them, and providing the devices for the students. What I didn't realize was that it was extremely difficult to find Podcasts that were interesting for the students and effective for the lesson I was teaching. For that reason, I began producing my own Podcasts, which arguably made me a more effective teacher. The more Podcasts that I produced, the more effective I felt my lessons were getting. I became less concerned with an extended lecture and more interested in getting right to the point. If I wouldn't want my students to sit through a long, drawn out, boring lesson, then why would I have them watch a boring video?
3. How will technology engage your students in the learning process?
More important than becoming an effective teacher, is making sure your students are engaged in the learning process. As I continue to implement technology into the classroom, the more I believe my job is to assist the students in facilitating their own learning. I do this by allowing my students to curate their own knowledge and guide them by providing assistance when needed. I allow them the opportunity to test their knowledge and skills by completing hands-on assignments. I later provide them the necessary feedback to continue to master their skills. In regards to the implementation of the iPods, my students were provided teacher-directed learning guides that allowed the students to work independently and at their own pace. My job was to continue to produce the resources (lesson plans, Podcasts, etc.) and assess the students as needed.
4. In what ways will the use of technology encourage more student-centered learning?
Part of the appeal of using technology in the classroom is that it is engaging and can motivate students to want to learn. In addition, technology can also create a more personalized learning environment for the students. Technology can be leveraged in a variety of ways that can be customized to meet the individual learning needs of each student. For instance, visual learners can watch Podcasts, demonstrations, etc. on an iPad or other iOS device. Kinesthetic learners can research a topic on an iPad, then create a product or experiment with a technique based on the concept they learned about. Auditory learners can watch tutorials repeatedly or listen to auditory books in order to grasp a subject. The possibilities are endless. Now with the introduction of iBooks 2, learning will undoubtedly become synonymous with technology.
Students who use technology in the classroom become more independent learners, as they find the best ways for them to assimilate information. This translates into a student-centered environment, where the teacher is a facilitator of knowledge and the students become the primary instructors.
5. How will technology assist your students in achieving their learning goals?
As illustrated above, technology has transformed the ways in which I disseminate information in my classroom. By providing the students the independence to learn in a student-centered, personalized learning environment, they are well exceeding the expectations of the curricula.
When I developed my curriculum over 10 years ago, students were expected to learn graphic design, photography and web design within the first year of the program. In the following years, students would learn video, audio and television production, DVD authoring and motion graphics. In this teacher-centered environment (a 2 hour and 45-minute class), I would often provide the students 45-minutes of information-based lectures at the beginning of each class, and a 45-minute review at the conclusion of each class. Assignments were often distributed to the entire class and my role was to provide the students with as much instruction as possible. However, I now review the students' goals within the first 10-minutes of each class, and at times engage the students in discussions about related topics. The students spend the remainder of the day working on their projects. At the conclusion of the period, they are asked to reflect by writing personalized journal entries that are submitted weekly. In the last 10-minutes of class, the students and I reflect on their accomplishments and preview the assignments for the following day.
My role in this engaged and motivated classroom is to assist students in mastering the skills required to complete their projects by providing them personalized feedback and instruction on their assignments. As a result, each of my current classes (2011-2012 school year) are well beyond the benchmarks set by previous classes.
About Me
Oddly enough for a film and video teacher, my career started in front of the camera. At the early age of 14, I was performing regularly on national television with some of the major entertainers of the 80's and 90's.

v- is (I believe) a Microsoft Contractor. If I recall correctly one unique thing about Microsoft is that v- employees virtually never get "re-upped" for another term. Once their contract is done, there is a more or less mandatory waiting period before working for MS again. This is all from things I've read on the web, not personal experience.

Director Hal Needham Sues Warner Bros. in Growing Home-Video Royalty Flap
Five studios have been sued in a class-action lawsuit alleging underreporting of home-video revenue.
Director Hal Needham has sued Warner Bros. in an expanding class-action case targeting the way studios calculate home-video royalties for profit participants.
Needham, the director of Cannonball Run, Smokey and the Bandit and Hooper, filed suit Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court claiming that he's been shortchanged revenue from the latter film due to the Warner Bros. practice of calculating his profit participation using only 20 percent of the home-video revenue received by the studio.
The move comes a week after 20th Century Fox, Paramount, Universal and Sony were sued by talent whose decades-old contracts allow them to share in the revenue from hit films. Stanley Donen (Lucky Lady), Charles Bronson (Hard Times) and Colin Higgins (Foul Play and The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas) are the lead plaintiffs in the other cases. Read those lawsuits Here, Here, Here and Here.
As THR reported, studios began paying talent based on a 20-percent royalty rate in the early 1980s as VCRs became popular. The lawsuits have been filed by profit participants whose contracts predate the 1980s, so they argue that they should be entitled to share in 100 percent of home-video revenue.
Warners' accounting practices "have allowed WB to wrongfully withhold a substantial amount of money it receives from home video distribution at the expense of Plaintiff and the Class," the Needham lawsuit states.
Exact damages are not alleged, but the claims could total in the millions of dollars.
A Warner Bros. rep declined to comment.
The suit alleges causes of action for breach of contract, breach of implied covenant, conversion, money had and received, declaratory judgment and a violation of California's business and professions code. The plaintiff is repped by teams from L.A.'s Johnson & Johnson, Kiesel & Larson, and Pearson Simon Warshaw & Penny.

The Cairns Group negotiated successfully for the inclusion of new agricultural trade rules to reform global agricultural trade during the 1986-94 Uruguay Round negotiations under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), These efforts brought agriculture into the global trading system for the first time and ended the export subsidy war that threw global agriculture into crisis in the late 1980s.
Since the end of the Uruguay Round and the creation of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), the Cairns Group has continued to be a strong and constant voice for agricultural reform. It played an important role in launching the current Doha Round of negotiations in 2001, ensuring that agriculture remained front and centre of the Round's "development" mandate.
The Cairns Group has pushed hard for ambitious agricultural trade reform throughout the Doha negotiations in the face of considerable resistance from some WTO members who prefer that protection for agriculture be maintained. In doing so, the Cairns Group has engaged effectively with other groupings in the WTO, in particular the G20 group of developing countries, to build support for agricultural trade reform.
The Cairns Group is an excellent example of successful coalition building in the trade arena and has maintained its cohesion for over 20 years. Since the end of the Uruguay Round, membership has risen from 14 to 19; Bolivia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Pakistan, Paraguay, Peru and South Africa have joined the Group. Collectively, the members of the Cairns Group have exerted far more influence than its members could have achieved independently.
The GATT was formed in 1948 to develop multilateral rules for fairer world trade. The GATT rules enshrined the fundamental principles of non-discrimination and "national treatment".
Agriculture was effectively excluded for the first four decades of the GATT's existence. This omission enabled rich developed economies to protect and subsidise their farmers - with dire consequences for other agricultural trading nations.
The main offenders were the European Community (EC), the United States, and Japan, which managed their agricultural markets using a combination of high tariffs on agricultural imports and subsidies to their farm sectors. These policies resulted in competitive exporters in Latin America, South East Asia and Oceania playing the role of residual suppliers to their traditional markets and being crowded out of most other markets.
The main justification for the high levels of support for EC, US and Japanese farmers was the politically destabilising effect of food shortages. Memories of food shortages during the Depression and World War II continued to resonate and self-sufficiency in food remained a common objective.
The problem was that the approach of these three members to farm support was fundamentally flawed and had seriously negative consequences for efficient agricultural exporters and developing countries. Farm subsidies and/or high tariffs resulted in huge food surpluses which were then disposed of on the world market, driving down world prices. As a result, in the early 1980s, international farm trade was historically depressed.
The challenge for the Cairns Group lay in persuading the EC and the US to reduce their farm support programs and particularly their direct export subsidies, in the face of strong political pressure from their farm constituents.
The first Cairns Group meeting was held in Cairns, Australia, on 27 August 1986, one month before the launch of the Uruguay Round. Fourteen countries attended, including a mix of developed countries (Australia, New Zealand and Canada), developing South American countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Uruguay), developing ASEAN countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand), an eastern European country (Hungary) and a non-GATT member (Fiji).
In September 1986 at Punta del Este, Uruguay, the Group quickly achieved its first success by helping to negotiate a broad negotiating mandate to reform agricultural trade. While the outcome of the Round was delayed until 1994, it was ultimately successful in starting the process of reform to global rules governing trade in agriculture.
Critically for the Group, the Uruguay Round outcome set some limits on the use of export subsidies and farm support programs and was also successful in making WTO members convert non-tariff measures, such as quantitative restrictions, into tariffs. The resulting "tariff equivalents" were high but this simplification would make it easier for future WTO rounds to negotiate tariffs downwards.
While the conclusion of the Uruguay Round was a significant milestone, the Cairns Group always understood that it was only the beginning of the battle to redress global distortions in agricultural markets. At the first WTO Ministerial Meeting in Singapore in 1996, the Cairns Group began to shape the future agricultural negotiation agenda - the first step in the long process towards the launch of the Doha negotiations.
In 1998, the Cairns Group agreed to renew its blueprint for reform, issuing a Vision Statement on the steps necessary to complete the process. These steps included deep cuts to all tariffs, the elimination of all trade-distorting domestic support; the elimination of export subsidies and clear rules to prevent circumvention of export subsidy commitments. The Vision Statement also reaffirmed the Group's support for the principle of special and differential treatment for developing countries.
The core philosophy of the Vision Statement was that agricultural markets free of distorting subsidies and open to global trade are key drivers of international economic growth and development. This philosophy has remained central to the Cairns Group's approach to the Doha Round of negotiations, launched in 2001.
Over the course of the Doha negotiations, the Cairns Group has pushed strongly for agricultural trade reform. The Cairns Group has continued to espouse the importance of substantial reductions in trade-distorting domestic support and the elimination of export subsidies. Also critical to an ambitious outcome in the Round, the Cairns Group has called for deep cuts to all tariffs, an expansion of tariff quota access and improvements in tariff quota administration.
Milestones since commencement of the Doha Round Negotiations
On 31 July 2004, WTO members reached agreement on the July 2004 Framework on Agriculture to guide the agricultural negotiations in the Doha Round. Agreement was reached on the structures for reductions in domestic support and cuts to tariffs, with the effect that the greatest distortions would be treated most rigorously.
The WTO Hong Kong Ministerial Declaration made in December 2005 saw further progress on the approach to reform agricultural trade, and as part of concluding the Doha Round, established a commitment for the elimination of export subsidies by the end of 2013.
The negotiations were suspended at the end of July 2006 after an attempt by ministers from six key players - Australia, the United States, the European Union, Brazil, India and Japan - to break the deadlock on a number of technical issues.
The Cairns Group used its 20th Anniversary Ministerial Meeting in September 2006 to explore practical ways to get the negotiations back on track. This meeting sent a united message to the major players about the importance for global development of an ambitious and conclusion to the Round. The Cairns Group agreed on a program of work to establish the conditions for a successful conclusion to the negotiations.
Bilateral exchanges and ongoing technical discussions assisted in creating a political environment for the resumption of negotiations. As a result, WTO Members agreed to a full resumption of the Doha negotiations in late January 2007.
The 31st Cairns Group Meeting in Lahore, Pakistan, in April 2007 reaffirmed its efforts to conclude the Round, and highlighted a number of proposals that fed into the development of the modalities texts.
In July 2007, the Agriculture Chair released a draft text, and discussions and subsequent revisions of the Chair's text continued until mid 2008.
The meeting of WTO Ministers in Geneva 21-29 July was the largest WTO Ministerial Meeting since 2005. The July 2008 Package reflected the considerable progress made by the WTO's 153 Members since 2001. Convergence was reached on many of the outstanding issues, in both agriculture and non-agricultural market access (NAMA). A handful of elements in the package were unresolved – in particular, the Special Safeguards Mechanism (SSM) for developing countries and cotton domestic support.
The December 2008 negotiating texts for agriculture and NAMA incorporated the main elements of the progress made at the WTO's Ministerial Meeting in Geneva in July 2008 and subsequent technical work by officials. These texts represent the significant progress achieved to date in the two core areas of the Doha Round.
The 33rd Cairns Group Ministerial Meeting in Bali in 2009 provided an important opportunity to reinvigorate the negotiations and further build on the progress that had been made. The Cairns Group recognised the good progress made in the negotiations, and reaffirmed their commitment to resolving the handful of outstanding issues. Cairns Group Ministers called for senior negotiators to convene in Geneva to map out a clear path towards conclusion of the negotiations, and to start before the 2009 European summer break. Special guests, US and India, endorsed this approach.
Following negotiations in the second half of 2009 (after the northern hemisphere summer break), Cairns Group Ministers expressed concern at the limited progress in narrowing the differences on the outstanding issues at the 34th Cairns Group Ministerial Meeting in Geneva in 2009. The Cairns Group continued to call for all WTO members to secure an ambitious and balanced outcome to the Doha Round based on the progress already made, including regarding the agriculture modalities.
During the March 2010 stocktake of the WTO Doha Round in Geneva it became clear that Members were not in a position to substantively resolve matters, and that further work is required. The Chairman of the Committee on Agriculture Special Session, David Walker, provided a report to the Trade Negotiations Committee for the purpose of the stocktake. The report provides a useful summary of the state of play in the Doha Round's agriculture negotiations.
The 35th Cairns Group Ministerial Meeting in Punta del Este, Uruguay, in 2010 provided the first opportunity for Ministers to meet to review the Doha Round following the March 2010 stocktake. This meeting was set against the background of a slowly recovering global economy.
In April 2011 the negotiating chairs circulated an Easter Package of documents, including a report by the Chairman of the Committee on Agriculture Special Session, David Walker. Following the 2011 APEC Ministers Responsible for Trade Meeting, and the subsequent informal meeting of Trade Ministers that was hosted by Dr Emerson in the sidelines of the OECD meeting in Paris, ministers acknowledged in May that the negotiations appeared to be deadlocked. By the Trade Negotiations Committee meeting in June, the Doha negotiations in Geneva had stalled, owing to what WTO Director-General Pascal Lamy described as 'unbridgeable gaps'. While retaining aspirations for an ambitious Doha result, WTO members supported a downpayment of agreements focussed on Least Developed Countries for the 8th WTO Ministerial Conference in December.
In that context, the 36th Cairns Group Ministerial Meeting - to be held in Saskatoon, Canada, in September - comes during an especially challenging period for the WTO membership, in the lead-up to the WTO ministerial meeting in December.
The Cairns Group remains strongly committed to the Round and securing a clear path forward for agriculture related issues, including the elimination of export subsidies by 2013, substantial reductions and caps on trade distorting domestic support and substantial improvements in market access.
* Members of the Cairns Group are: Argentina, Australia, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Paraguay, Peru, the Philippines, South Africa, Thailand and Uruguay. Hungary (now part of the European Community) and Fiji were founding members of the Cairns Group, but have since withdrawn.

The blacksmith sat on the back of his cart, hammering out some notched and battered horse shoes. The horse breeder had given them to him and paid him for the work, and he wasn't going to skip the responsibility just because the buyer wouldn't be around to appreciate the result. Ever the watcher, but since his name was called he felt he had to respond something.
An "innocent" werewolf. An "innocent" demon, possibly even several. What's next, an "innocent" child murderer? An "innocent" Ashen Veil priest? What makes someone innocent anyhow? Innocent of killing the mayor and the horse breeder, but guilty of something more sinister? Being any one of those things would be enough to warrant death. How would it help us to stop one killer only to have something worse run loose? I have to say this whole affair with a cure for lycanthropy just seems a tad too convenient for my tastes. There are several possibilities, but one thing seems clear to me. If Sepuku is indeed a wolf, then Winston Hughes is not. But if Sepuku is not a wolf, then Winston's immediate calling her our must be questioned. In that case Sepuku would truly have approached her beloved with the hope of being cured, but Winston's readiness to throw her to the gallows could mean he jumped the opportunity to turn all our anger towards someone innocent. I'm not at all convinced that Sepuku hasn't been telling the truth all along, but I'm not emotionally attached, and I prefer safe over sorry. Putting her down would also tell us something about Winston Hughes, as well as Frozen In Ice.... Regarding Tolis, I would like to hear more about this supposed break-in by Methos. The Cow Farmer has yet to respond to the accusations. I thus prefer to resolve the Sepuku situation first, since all relevant things seem to have been said about that already. We will get no where by waiting longer, while new things will likely surface regarding Methos and Tolis in short time. Oh and historian, you may think your mind is sharp, but your eyes sure could use some aid. See this here cart I rode in on, needing two horses to pull? See this here large anvil mounted on top of it? You said it yourself, this here village doesn't have a blacksmith, nor does it need one, it's simply too small. Same for so many other villages around here, and elsewhere too. Not sure what it is you fail to compute from that.

Gagnarath stands by her husband and tries to calm her daughter z4ckdabeast.
We've known Sepuku for a long time but there's no proof she was cured, and no one who didn't blindly believe her already saying she didn't kill last night. If she is to be trusted we need more proof, much more proof. |

But there is no proof she isn't cured either. What do you people want for proof? A signed confession from the gods above? Somehow I think we are out of luck. What we do know is that either Tolis or Methos is lying. Perhaps even both. So if we deal with them, we know that atleast one troublemaker is gone, we have no such assurance with Sepuku.

We want proof because that way we will know if there's a character who can cure other werewolves (if there are others) who should be protected. We also need to kill her reagrdless because her ability as a wolf makes her too much of a risk unless we have absolute, definite proof that she is cured.
The Methos/Tolis situation is a lower priority as we don't have evidence that either of them can convert an innocent to an enemy every single night. |

I have been cured! If you wern't a suspect yourself right now, I'm sure that the people responsible for this would come to you and put you in your place. However currently you are calling for the town to kill an innocent tonight, and letting live a demon that hasn't recieved the cure, and kill another. What they are accusing each other is not only who is a demon, but which is responsible for Renata's death. This may not mean anything you to but that is anohter death of somebody from our village! As for the cure being a sham, think about this Eko. When all this started, I suspect there were two of us that could convert people. Now I have been cured...if I have not and I am lying then that would mean that two among you would already be converted (from both myself and and the other). Now count the time it would take to have the converted equal or best the number of remaining innocents. Do you really think that whatever put us all in this situation would make it so hopeless? Or are you just trying to push the public notice onto me to protect your spawn?! If that is true, that I am lying, that the cure is a sham, that you have no hope at all, then why are you speaking out now? Why even bother cause you wouldn't be able to stop anything from happening no matter what you did. Obviously this is not the case so maybe you should start speculation on this situation as a whole, not just follow the crowd.Maybe tommorow you can use logic and think about this. Surely they must've taught you to think where ever you came from...use that talent now. Last edited by Sepuku; Aug 03, 2009 at 12:52 PM. |

I have been speaking in private to many people since yesterday (game time), I am certainly not only speaking now.
None of your arguments have any grounds, you cannot provide evidence in your support, and we cannot afford to let you live. This is the unescapable logic of the situation. Last edited by Ekolite; Aug 03, 2009 at 01:25 PM. |

The Baker sits quietly on the edge of the village square, barely noticing as claims and accusations are flung back and forth. Looking confused and dejected in equal measure, when he finally gets up to speak his words are mumbled and barely audible.
Sepuku, my Sepuku... Do you speak the truth? Is the curse gone? I don't know what to believe... But if there's a chance you have been saved, I cannot call for your death. He scratches his head nervously, clearly struggling to keep his composure, and looks over at the Corn Farmer. Tolis, a demon they say... Would you drag us all to hell? Or have you another purpose here? My mind is torn. Looking ever more shaky, his gaze moves to his the Miller. My brother... Good, honest Frozen in Ice... The one person I know I can trust. Whoever dies here this evening, the Horsebreeder's Stone will be safe in your hands, I am sure. With that, the Baker's gaze returns to the ground. Breathing deeply, and shaking his head from time to time, it is obvious that his thoughts are deeply troubled. |

Good people of the village lets step back and look at this situation.
Sepuku was spared yesterday we gave him our trust and a cure has been applied, whilst the person that 'cured' has not yet come forward (possibly undertandably) i believe from what i have read and what i have learnt in private that sepuku does not pose a threat to us, i believe that he has been cured. I have not heard any player speak up for being attacked and coverted last night... except one. Mr Tolis our corn farmer. I have not spoken to Mr Tolis. Our corn farmer, it seems he thinks religion is not his cup of tea. i cannot ever remember seeing him in our lovely church. However our cow farmer is a regular visitor, a pillar of the local community. As most people know this ceremonial cow skull with the wonderful teeth was donated by him only last week. . Mr Tolis you are a servent of Beelzebub or an agent of a demon, we shall hang you by the neck until the truth is known. |

Good priest, who is this Beelzebub of whom you speak? Is he a minion of Agares? Or perhaps Mammon? The name would suggest Bhall, perhaps... I have not heard you speak of him before in your sermons. Please, tell me more, that I might be armed against the wiles of this "Beelzebub"

Ah two non believers who do not understand the way of our church. male and female makes not a bit of difference in our speech, he is the person - not the sex or race or creed. Perhaps this enlighten tolerance has not penetrated the depths of your cultures? Perhaps we would could discuss it at the tavern, i'll get the first round my good fellow.

My love's life lies in the balance. I see no choice but to cast my vote against Tolis. I pray that this is the right decision.

"Ah, love. A bard's favourite! Truly, there are few forces on Erebus that can hope to compete with the sheer power of love!
Yet love might deceive you... has that occurred to you, Baker? That you might be blinded by love and not see the monster that is your beloved? That you might have been deceived by the lies that she has been telling?"

As the day wore on, more shocking relevations came to light. Tolis got a lot of people looking at him the wrong way. There were still a large crowd who wanted sepuku to get punished however. This time it looked like the crowd wanted blood. There was no more hesitation. The Horse Breeder Renata also had lost her life. There just might be a serial killer on the lose.
As things didn't go his way the corn farmer withdrew to his farm. He might as well end things where he had spent these past few peaceful years. The crowd gathered outside the farm. Someone threw a torch in through the broken window, others barricaded the doors. It didn't take long before the hole farm was alight. People could hear Tolis howling from within, it certainly didn't sound human. Suddenly he burst out through the barricades. He didn't look like the Corn farmer everyone knew. From his backs there had now sprouted wings and he had horns through comming out of his head. The enourmus muscles that were normaly concealed by cloth also looked far from human. He rushed for the crowd, but people were ready. People thurst whatever weapons they had at him. He was able to batter most of them aside but a sword slipped through his guard and hit him directly in the eye. He let out a bloodcurling scream and dropped to his knees. From that position it was easy for the villagers to finish him off... Spoiler:
It seemed that not many cared for the stone. In the end the Mayor's Widow was the one with most votes and she was handed the stone as everyone went back to their dwellings to sleep.
