Recently, after almost four months of waiting, I finally received a truckload of wood chips in my driveway for free. It felt like Christmas morning . . . until reality hit me. I had to move that gigantic pile! Quickly! With nothing but a shovel and a wheelbarrow!
The job suddenly seemed insurmountable.
The following morning my work began in earnest. For six straight hours I shoveled and hauled one load after another to various places in my yard. I thought I would never finish. By the end of that time my kids and I had only moved about half the wood chips. I didn't complete the job until the end of the week.
If you stop and think about it, moving wood chips is a fitting metaphor for obtaining spiritual understanding. Do you remember when you first began learning God's word? You might have felt the way I did staring at that gigantic heap of mulch: "How am I going to do this? It's going to take me forever!"
The Bible is a mountain of information. Shoveling through it and transporting divine wisdom into our hearts and minds is no simple task. The book Muscle and a Shovel emphasizes the vital role of hard work and diligence in uncovering God's truth. Just like moving a truckload of wood chips, obtaining knowledge requires muscle and a shovel.
The Bible is a mountain of information. Shoveling through it and transporting divine wisdom into our hearts and minds is no simple task.
Wisdom cries out, "I love those who love me; and those who diligently seek me will find me" (Prov. 8:17). Practically speaking, this means we must commit ourselves to serious Bible study. If you've already made that commitment and feel like you're getting nowhere, that's normal. I felt that way shoveling one measly scoop of wood chips at a time. It seemed I wasn't making a dent in that huge pile! "If only I had a bulldozer," I thought.
There is no shortcut to God's wisdom, no spiritual bulldozer to dump it in our heads instantaneously. One small measure of knowledge at a time—that's the best we can do. Patience is the key. If we remain consistent over time, we will eventually accumulate much wisdom, and we'll be glad we made the effort. "How blessed is the man who finds wisdom and the man who gains understanding. For her profit is better than the profit of silver and her gain better than fine gold" (Prov. 3:13-14).

Revealing mistake: In the room where the intruder flips the main power switch, the light in that room starts to go off BEFORE he flips the switch and the indicator turns red. Watching the DVD in slow motion helps to notice this. (00:13:25)darren-c
Other mistake: In the chase scene, where Johnny and Bough are chasing the hearse, when Bough and Johnny are discussing where the hearse went, Johnny says "They were heading south." Then he turns the steering wheel to his right, yet when it shows a view of the truck it turns to it's left. (00:22:15)
Visible crew/equipment: When Johnny English is getting out of the truck, we see a wide shot. In the bottom of the reflection you can see what looks like a clapperboard. (00:22:55)OL1V3R666
Continuity mistake: When Johnny interrupts the funeral, he speaks to an old white woman but in the next shot, he is in front of a black woman. (00:26:45)Dr Wilson
Continuity mistake: When Johnny interrupts the wrong funeral, and Bough saves the day with his 'loony' spiel, Bough takes Johnny's gun and helps him off the coffin. The gun disappears from Bough's hand between shots. (00:28:40)nickb
Continuity mistake: When Pascal Savage is examining his family tree on the table, the tree can be seen when he tries the hat on. Then the scene cuts to the Archbishop. After this when the scene cuts back to Pascal Savage the family tree sheet is nowhere to be seen. (00:29:45)
Factual error: When Johnny and Lorna are in the sushi bar, Lorna says 'cheers' in Japanese to Johnny before drinking Japanese sake. (An English subtitle is displayed). Johnny, obviously not knowing what he is saying replies in Japanese, and an English subtitle is displayed saying 'may all of your daughters be born with three bottoms'. The actual translation for what he says is 'May all of your daughters be born with a small penis'. (Not that any normal person would notice) (00:36:15)
Revealing mistake: When Johnny enters Sauvage's party, after he broke into his building, a waiter gives him a glass of champagne, which he drops. When a second glass is given to him, the pre-made crack on the paw of the glass is visible, prior to Johnny breaking that glass. (00:50:05)
Character mistake: Sauvage declares that he is going to turn England into a prison, but the graphic he is displaying puts the prison walls around the entire island of Great Britain. (01:03:30)paolog
Continuity mistake: When Pascal's henchmen infiltrate Buckingham Palace, and force the Queen to abdicate, if you look very closely on the abdication document it is dated the twentieth of March 2003. Yet in an earlier scene where Johnny English is photographed by the speed camera that has the date 21/03/03, obviously the abdication was filmed before the car chase, and therefore the dates get mixed up.
Revealing mistake: At the start of the hearse chase, when we first see the bad guys pull a hand-brake turn through 90 degrees in a small London side-street, if you look on the ground you can see the skid marks from what must have been the previous take.
Continuity mistake: When Natalie Imbruglia and Rowan Atkinson are trying to enter John Malkovich's "chateau", when Natalie is climbing a ladder a tattoo is visible on her lower back. Later, when Pascal Sauvage (Malkovich) is being crowned, Natalie is seen fighting a sniper on the upper-level of the church. When the sniper pushes her away, the tattoo on her lower back is gone.
Continuity mistake: The first time the film of Johnny in the mirror is shown, look at the toothpaste in the bottom right corner. First you see the Aquafresh, then it cuts to Sauvage, and when it cuts back the toothpaste tube has moved. Then it cuts away and back again, and the toothbrush has moved in front of it.
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Johnny is in Sauvage's palace and drops down to take Sauvage prisoner, when the guards appear behind him the screen changes to Sauvage, and then back to Johnny, the guards have changed positions.
Other mistake: When Johnny and Bough swap places in the truck, the truck continues to accelerate smoothly.Life700
Continuity mistake: At the start of the car chase scene with the hearse and lorry, the hearse comes crashing through the garage door, and onto the road. After that follows English and Bough, and then a motorbike pulls up. It is red, but in the next shot, it is Lorna Campbell's pink bike.
Continuity mistake: In the scene in the garage shortly before Johnny is about to "strike like a coiled viper" he talks to Bough via his wrist walkie talkie only he talks into his RIGHT wrist while the walkie talkie is on his left.
Other mistake: When Sauvage welcomes everybody to the meeting, he says "mesdammes et messieurs". On the subtitles, "et" is incorrectly spelled "est".OL1V3R666
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Johnny English goes down the hole, there is a shot from within the hole of him getting in. He has only put one leg in. However, in the very next shot he is halfway through to having his entire body in the hole.
Factual error: When Johnny lands in the hospital instead of Sauvage's headquarters, there is a sign behind him which uses the American spelling of "Orthopedics" instead of the British "Orthopaedics."

House: La Escapada
Name: Cava Brut
Origin: Penedes, Spain
Vintage: Non-Vintage
Price: 47 DKK/6,30 EUR/7,70 USD on winefamly.dk (market price: 95 DKK/12,80 EUR/15,60 USD)
Penedes as wine region
The wine country of Penedès, located less than an hour from Barcelona, is one of the most exciting wine regions in Spain. A wide range of wine styles are produced here including the Traditional Method (sparkling) white and rosé Cava (made with the indigenous grapes of Xarel.lo, Macabeo and Parellada), dry reds, dry whites, and dessert whites.
The wine region of Penedès is subdivided into various zones including Baix-Penedes (Lower Penedès, where Vilafranca del Penedès is the main village); Mitja- Penedès (Middle Penedès, the main production area with unspoiled vineyard scenery) and Alt-Penedès (High Penedès, which indeed is at the highest altitude, at about 800 meters).
The soil types across all three sub regions are fairly similar with limestone, sand and clay all present. The climate is Mediterranean and mild with an average year round temperature of about 16 degrees. The Tramontana wind blows in from France in winter, but is subdued by the Montserrat mountains which rise majestically above the wine country. With such a wide range of terrains, the Penedès is full of microclimates which the talented winemakers take advantage of to produce such high quality and varied wines.
Cava as an alternative to Champagne
Cava is made the same way that Champagne is produced, but with different grapes. Macabeu (aka called Viura in Rioja) is the primary grape used in Cava production. Despite its importance, Macabeu tastes somewhat simple. It has faint floral aromatics, a lemony flavor with a slightly bitter finish that tastes similar to green almonds. Xarel·lo (sounds like 'Cheryl-ooh') on the other hand, is much more aromatic with rich floral aromas and pear/melon-like notes. The last grape, Paralleda, is blended for its ripping high acidity and zesty citrus flavors. Together the three Spanish grapes create a balanced fruity sparkling wine that's less sweet than Prosecco but not as nutty as Vintage Champagne.
What makes Cava so much cheaper than Champagne? First of all, the most obvious reason is, that it does not bear Champagne brand. Even though they are made the same way, Champagne is limited to the sparkling wines coming from Champagne made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier which are very expensive grapes to produce.
Second reason is a bit suprising for me (I tought it all lies in the name and price of the grapes). Spaniards have fully adopted advanced mechanization in order to produce, store and bottle their Cava. It's amazing if not a little creepy to see unmanned forklifts in perfect formation carefully collect, riddle and stack millions of bottles. The warehouse thunders with activity but there's not a single human in sight. Surprisingly, the wines are delicious.
La Escapada, Cava Brut
In the nose we get lovely fresh citrus notes with a hint of peaches and nuts. In the mouth we can feel the small and very smooth bubbles. Usually you would expect a Brut to be a bit drier but it is still OK. Taste confirms the nose with an addition of apples. This Cava has short finish.
Not everyone can afford to pay for a real Champagne on a daily basis. Especially not if you drink wine as often as I do. Cava is great alternative if you are on a budget or if you just simply do not want break bank over a bottle of wine. It might just take a little bit of time to find a house you like. Besides this one, I reccommend Codorniu and their Anna line of premium Cava.

There are various sorts of mentoring connections, varying from upwards (your supervisor or employer, although this is seldom), peer to peer, go across useful as well as most frequently downwards. Advisors can be from inside your organization be it straight from your division or feature, or from an additional service device. There are. Additionally, Coach/ Trainers offered from within some Specialist Organizations (as an example the Chartered Institute of Logistics and also Transportation UK, and also the Institute of Management as well as Monitoring.) Various other recognized Advisors/ Trainers are offered on the surface.
How Mentors Can Source For Tax Consulting Services?
There are a variety of methods to connect throughout the connection. Any one of these can be stand-alone, or combined depending upon the shared arrangement of the tax consultant. In person: commonly for an internal consulting connection, or where the Advisor lies close to the mentee. Sometimes audit and revenue consultants could be prepared to take a trip. Nevertheless, the expenses of doing so ought to be concurred in establishing the arrangement. Telephone: this is a quite underrated method which permits the Coach to concentrate on just what is being claimed and also exactly how it is being stated by the tax representatives. It is commonly just what "is not" being stated that exposes a lot. Without the body movement the Coach could listen as well as concentrate on the rate, diction and also focus on exactly what is being connected. Digitally: by the use e-mail in a normal exchange, tax rates can be communicated. Once more depending upon where the Coach and also Mentee lie, e-mail exchange might be one of the most reliable kinds for reliable tax and revenue consultants.
The Coach could take in the interaction, ask well-created inquiries as well as reply to demands from the Mentee. Skype: this means of interacting is ending up being ever before extra prominent with Instructors and also coaches alike. It is a much extra versatile system compared to the typical face to encounter. Which means you decide to interact is not important as long as it helps both events. Some will certainly be much more comfy with one-on-one whereas others will certainly be equally as ready to connect using Skype. It is said that a "one-off" session could assist bring some clearness to a specific subject or scenario, yet to attain long-term adjustment as well as proceed a variety of sessions are encouraged. These may be rather close together in the starting to specify objectives and also laid out methods (probably as soon as a week) bring about a longer regularity such as month-to-month conferences to keep an eye on as well as evaluate progression. The CILT Mentoring Program advises a preliminary one-year partnership.
The Refine
The Mentoring procedure is just one of ongoing testimonial, and also responses, a case in point is revealed listed below
– Initial conference – develops a partnership, develop borders
– Mentor/Mentee arrangement on purposes as well as objectives – in person or digitally
– Proceeded Mentor/Mentee get in touch with – one-on-one or digitally

Just because it supports tablets does not make it a "phone game."LackingMMO said:Love full loot pvp, I'm on the fence about this one because its targeted to mobile users as well which screams downgrade to me. I think 30 is too high for a mobile game, ill wait till it goes on sale If I haven't found anything by that time. Isometric view is ok with me but not my favorite either.

It is basically more simple ( you dont need PHD ) version of EVE , with much more enjoyable combat.LackingMMO said:Love full loot pvp, I'm on the fence about this one because its targeted to mobile users as well which screams downgrade to me.

postlarval said:Well, that's good because the game isn't designed for players like you.Coated said:Forced PVP makes me not play.
There are true mobile MMOs, for what it's worth.Moirae said:Yeah, I paid the money and hated it almost from the moment it loaded. Wish I could get my money back. Everything about it feels wrong. It's a mobile game, not a true MMO. The camera view is insane. The graphics are incredibly primitive. There has to be more to it than that but I just really hated it. It doesn't help that not a tiny bit of it feels like Albion.
False. Most people dislike open world pvp because it is heaven for gankers and griefers. If people didnt like pvp the MOBA genre would die before it began. People just like fair play.bentrim said:Once AGAIN... OWPVP, has a VERY limited market. You would think that devs would FINALLY learn that in an MMORPG, MOST people HATE PVP!!
VERY odd,i have never played a game where cheating has not affected game play for everyone.Kyleran said:Well I've generally found while every MMORPG has cheaters they rarely impact my game play.BruceYee said:Also the gold to silver conversion isn't very good. You can farm large amounts of silver in-game even without going into full pvp zones. Buying gold can't pay to win because you have to actually to play the game to level up everything on the destiny board in order to use the items you bought.SedrynTyros said:At it's foundation, it's the same system that's used in EVE Online. PLEX didn't ruin EVE Online, and Gold isn't going to ruin Albion Online.Kopogeroo said:Primary reason sandbox MMORPG with player economy that also has ingame store where you can directly buy infinite printed currency (in this case gold) for $ is a simple and quick cash grab that will ruin the game in the long run. Otherwise I would've actually spend $ on it and tried it.
@Kyleran - I have yet to see a single hardcore cheater in-game since the headstart. I've seen people using afk bot and possibly farming but that's about it.
Of course, I'm not in the top tier PVP portions of any game, mostly I try to carve out a niche for myself and provide support services where I can.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
I wouldn't recommend buying it for now. The pve is shallow and the crafting is kind of like a casual clicker.Ridelynn said:I looked into it.
I'm only interested in PVE for the most part. I don't care about PVP Sandbox oriented games at all, I don't mind some sandboxiness in my games, but I'm mostly a carebear theme park goer. I'm really not interested in a game where I'm more or less stuck unless I happen upon a Guild to take me under their wing, and for me, the more story and lore in a game, the more I tend to get drawn to it.
I'm ok with the graphics. I think the cross-mobile thing has a lot of potential.
I'm not paying a box fee to find out if I like the game or not though. Particularly since I'm not very fond of most Sandbox games out there.
The dev didn't give any reassurances that they were working on a solution in that post (or any posts afterwards, apparently, besides filing a report with the police). Hopefully that was just an oversight because if they really are helpless to defend against a DDOSer like this, then that's just... well, embarassing.AHarmlessKitty1923 said:Because SBI doesn't have any proper security, and "Breaking News" SBI admits to being blackmailed...
wonder who is behind it...
It can't be Lizard Squad?
); sorry to hear about that, did they even get back to you or just the generic reply stuff, obviously I cant illicit any illegal activities, but someone has it out for this company, and SBI really believes legal action can work against gold sellers when Bit Coin exists and they would just change the methods and stuff.natpick said:got hacked first week still not got acount back,sandbox cs is terrible and feel they dont value customers as there should,lost intrest quick.
Well Dark Fall has ships and Naval Combat, I think im going to install Rise OF Agon and purchase a subscription shortly and try it again myself see if there is enough players for old times sake, I would say Arche Age, but Trion killed the game.DAS1337 said:Because the game is shallow AF. All you do, essentially, is grind your crafting skills until you can make tier 10 gear. That's it. Oh, and build a house. The game should have been what Ultima Online was. But it's not. It never can be, because of the poorly designed world. Loading zones. Poorly designed map tiles. Lack of water environment, so no ships. It's way too boring.
Oh look, a new account created just to bash Albion.AHarmlessKitty1923 said:Because SBI doesn't have any proper security, and "Breaking News" SBI admits to being blackmailed...

Concentrate on enjoying yourself, and not on why I shouldn't enjoy myself.
100% completely agree. ppl scream for sandbox, they get it, and they complain. ppl on here used to say graphics werent the driving factor but now they are all of a sudden. if you mentioned graphics of etc etc on here, ppl would go to town on you about how its not the driving factor. so this site has changed hehe.Lobotomist said:I dont know what happened to people on this site. Fortnite ( basically tower defense co-op game, not MMO in any sense ) is more popular than actual one server pvp sandbox mmo.

The history of hybrid vehicles is portrayed by a different style or, arguably, weird-looking designs. The 2019 Honda Insight tries to counter the trend. Taken from the popular Honda Civic, the Insight combines a handsome sedan body-style with exceptional hybrid efficiency.
The 2019 Honda Insight is a midsize sedan that is available in three trim levels: LX, EX and Touring. In base form, the Honda Insight includes features like power windows with an automatic up/down function, automatic climate control, a multi-angle rearview camera, and a 5-inch color audio display. Impressively, all trims now come standard with the Honda Sensing suite of active safety features. That means even the cheapest Insight has advanced safety and convenience technologies such as forward collision warning with automatic braking, lane-keeping assist and dynamic cruise control.
Engine Specs
Powering the 2019 Honda Insight is a 1.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine producing 107 horsepower and 99 lb-ft of torque. When combined with one of the two electric motors, total system output is 151 hp and 197 lb-ft of torque. A second motor works as a generator that powers the electric propulsion motor and recharges the 60-kilowatt lithium-ion battery. Unlike most hybrid cars, the Insight does not have a transmission. Instead, power drives the front wheels through an engine control unit that oversees the engine and the electric motors. This mechanical system makes the Insight return an EPA-estimated 55 mpg city and 49 mpg highway, which are excellent for a compact hybrid.
In testing, the 2019 Honda Insight Touring accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 8.1 seconds, which is quick for a hybrid. The 2019 Insight also features an EV mode, which under particular conditions, allows the driver to travel up to one mile using electricity alone.
1.5-liter 4-cylinder + electric motors
151 horsepower combined
197 lb-ft of torque combined
EPA fuel economy city/highway: 55/49 mpg and 51/45 mpg (Touring)
Pricing Notes
The 2019 Honda Insight is on sale and arriving now at dealers nationwide. The base LX model has a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) starting at $23,725 (all prices include the $895 destination fee). Step up to the EX and your price comes in at $24,995. The Insight range-topper is the Touring trim which starts at $28,985.

Integrate Google BigQuery with Wootric
About Google BigQuery
Querying massive datasets can be time-consuming and expensive without the right hardware and infrastructure. Google BigQuery solves this problem by enabling super-fast, SQL-like queries against petabytes of data using the processing power of Google's infrastructure.
It's a scalable, no-setup service that gives you real-time business insights about your data.
About Wootric
Wootric is a service that can create customers surveys and turn their responses into a measurable metric of customer happiness called a Net Promoter Score (NPS). Wootric's surveys are designed to get the most responses possible by being both simpler and less aggressive than traditional surveys. The data gathered from these surveys can be used to rate and segment customers as well as offer analytics about your customer base at large.
Popular Use Cases

Wootric's End Points
Wootric Responses
Track the data associated with your Wootric survey responses. This allows Wootric to both provide you with analytic data about your NPS and integrate that data with your CRM.
Wootric End Users
Interact with data about your end users - including their contact information, their relationship with your company (such as what plan or product they use) and the date they were last surveyed - to gauge how out-of-date your data about each user may be. Then, use this information to decide if/when they should be surveyed again.
Wootric Declines
Monitor which Wootric surveys were declined and by whom. This data includes the ID of the respondent, the survey ID and the time at which it was declined. You can then identify which surveys were unsuccessful and which customers are unlikely to respond to surveys. This can help to accurately segment your customers and better gauge where they are in their lifecycle with your company.

text: Marco Vorobiev - November 10, 2011 Vepr-1V-E Tactical Rifle Vorobiev was a member of the elite Soviet Spetsnaz in Afghanistan in the 1980s. He's a U.S. citizen now and conducts training courses that draw on his special forces training. He'll have a new installment every Wednesday.While at the "Molot" Arms Plant rifle range in Vyatskiye Polyany, Russia I got a chance to sample a few guns that are bound for the U.S. market in the near future. It appeared that "Molot" and its Importer I.O., Inc. of Monroe, N.C., are trying to address the US AK (read as Russian) gun needs.One such rifle that I was able to put my meaty paws on was New Vepr-1V-E Tactical (or Assault) rifle. Built on robust RPK receiver, it features a tubular folding stock with rotating cheekpiece, 16-inch heavy barrel tipped with RPK short cage-type flash hider, standard RPK front and adjustable rear sights, side rail for mounting optics and dark plum polymer furniture.This particular gun was chambered in .223. However, it will be available in all three calibers for sale in the US. The Vepr-1V-E American version will not have folding stock and flash hider, but will retain all other features. One of the things that stood out for me as I pulled the trigger was a lack of any appreciable recoil. I guess the heavy receiver and barrel ate it all up. Knocking bricks over at 75 meters with open sights didn't feel like a challenge. The rifle was slightly on the heavy side, but in line with some of the Yugoslav variants. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by way the rifle felt and handled. I am curious about the way it handles 5.45x39 and 7.62x39 ammunition. But I guess I have to wait and see when they become available from I.O., Inc. early next year.The new Vepr-1V-E is a typical representative of Kalashnikov family of assault rifles. It combines AK and RPK features in an attractive package. Although the rifle was configured as closely as possible to the AKS, some of the features like folding stock and flash hider have to omitted for the import.The Vepr-1V-E has a tubular folding stock equipped with rotating cheekpiece, a necessary addition for Russian optics that sit much higher on AK type rifles. Handling the Vepr-1V-E was superb, with no significant recoil. This is most likely attributable to gun's RPK pedigree with heavy receiver and barrel.

Clinical Experiences
Pre-student teaching experiences in public schools are referred to as Clinical Experiences. Secondary Education students work in real classrooms in the local public schools for a minimum of thirty hours during each of the first two levels of their professional program at USU.
Philosophy Behind Clinical Experiences
The goal of a clinical experience is for education students to begin to view the classroom and students from the perspective of a teacher. Rather than being a content driven experience, the clinical experience should focus on the role of a teacher in the classroom and the teacher's relationships with students, parents, colleagues, and administration within the context of a specific curriculum. To that end, education students should come away from their clinical experiences with a broader understanding of strategies teachers use to generate enthusiasm for a specific content, to engage students in learning, to build confidence and self-esteem, to organize the learning environment, and to create successful learners.
Level 1 & Level 2 Registration
Students should register for a clinical course in addition to their methods class. Both SCED 3300 & SCED 4300 are offered Fall and Spring Semester. Some departments have clinical courses specific to the content area. If this is the case, students should be registered for a section number from that department, i.e. PEP 3300, 4300, ETE 3300, FCSE 3300. Clinical Experiences (CE) are 1 semester credit.
Check with Methods Instructors for questions about clinical experiences.
General Policies
CE will carry 1 semester credit, which will accrue to sponsoring departments through 3300 and 4300 course numbers (Level 1 and Level 2). Many of the experiences at Level 1 and Level 2 will be coordinated and monitored by special methods instructors in connection with their methods courses. The purpose of CE is to help prepare students for the realities of student teaching by providing them with a clear understanding of the contexts for schooling, grades 6-12. For this reason, most USU students will have a middle school placement at one level and a high school placement at the other level. The CE should be in two different schools, in different content areas and with different teachers. Our office will do our utmost to facilitate this, but, due to limited placement options, it may not always be possible.
CE at the two levels will be funded by a $50 fee each semester. This fee will be paid to the mentor teacher who assumes major responsibility for the supervision of a USU student. The role of mentor teachers will be to work with students and to provide oral and written feedback; part of this mentoring process will involve completion of a final evaluation form.
CE will be a 30 hour experience for each level. The methods instructor and/or clinical supervisor for each department, will determine the best schedule for CE placements.
Each methods instructor and/or clinical supervisor first makes his/her CE placement recommendations and provides those recommendations to the Office of Field Experiences. The Office of Field Experiences will sort CE placements from all fields and develop a comprehensive list of school/teacher requests. The Office of Field Experiences sends these requests to principals and teachers for approval.
In the event of difficulty with a CE placement, mentor teachers will provide timely information to the appropriate methods instructor and/or clinical supervisor.
The Office of Field Experiences will receive final evaluation forms from mentor teachers, distribute copies of these evaluations to methods instructors so that they may enter their final grades, and makes payments to mentor teachers.
Clinical Experience Evaluation Form
This evaluation form is available as a printable document as an Adobe PDF file, by clicking here.
Mentor Teachers fill out the Clinical Experience evaluation form and give it to their clinical student to upload on the canvas course "Secondary Education Canvas Course". Methods instructor and/or clinical supervisor--may be attached on a separate form(ACE Activities checklist is available as a printable document as an Adobe PDF file by clicking here). Copies of final Clinical Experience evaluations will be provided to the University methods instructor.
Expectations for Professional Conduct
During the Clinical experience, clinical students are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner. This includes dressing in appropriate attire when visiting the school. The mentor teacher will be an important resource in helping to determine the appropriate attire for the particular clinical appointment.
Clinical students should be punctual for the class periods they attend, and, barring illness or emergency, should show up each time they are expected. If clinical students cannot show up when expected, they must give the mentor teacher the earliest prior notice possible, first thing in the morning at the latest.

The Sustainable Health Review's Interim Report includes a number of positive recommendations along with questionable findings, most notably the claim that there are enough hospital beds in the system to serve demand through the next decade, the Australian Medical Association (WA) said today.
"The current reality is that many of our hospitals are already at or even above capacity and this is experienced by patients and staff on a daily basis," AMA (WA) President Dr Omar Khorshid said.
"To suggest that this will be acceptable or even tolerable for another decade is ludicrous, and defies all credible data on safe capacity levels. "Even the report itself comments on the predicted increase in demand for health care for the foreseeable future."
"It has been recommended that capacity at hospitals should not exceed 85 per cent, anything beyond that can result in risks to patient outcomes. However that figure is becoming more of a pipe dream year after year," Dr Khorshid said.
"However there are a number of positive recommendations in the Report, such as a renewed focus on preventative health initiatives, including reducing the burden of childhood obesity, alcohol and drug abuse.
"These are recommendations that will save lives, make us a healthier community and significantly save money in the long run," he said.
"It is time that WA got really serious about preventative medicine. WA can be the healthiest state in Australia," he said.
Dr Khorshid acknowledged that health professionals are well-paid in WA and that the government employees had moved into a period of lower wage growth.
"We are lucky to have one of the best health systems in the world, and that is largely due to the fantastic talent we produce locally and attract from the Eastern States and overseas. We need to stay competitive or risk losing our best and brightest health professionals.
"While there are some positive recommendations in the Interim Report, we hope that the State Government does not use it as the only map for the future of health in WA, or use it as an excuse to cut state health spending now or further down the track," Dr Khorshid said.
"It is vital that the Government not allow themselves to use this report blindly but listen and consult with those who actually work in the health system."
Dr Khorshid added that he agreed WA did not get its fair share from GST and Medicare revenue back from the Federal Government and that this had to change.
The AMA (WA) welcomed the Report's recommendation that action is required to build a new women's hospital at QEII Medical Campus and that access to both acute and community mental health care be improved.

Back in 2012, Death Grips released a video shot entirely using a rearview camera attached to a Prius, an interesting re-purposing of the technology that led to a lot of crazy perspectives. Now, with the video for their joint track "97.92", New York's Flatbush Zombies and Trash Talk up the technological ante by making use of a remote controlled drone.
The result is a similarly disorientating set of visuals, with the drone's unfettered movements and lightning-fast speed helping to create many a-bizarre image. That includes giant looping walls of ocean water, jarring fade in's and fade out's, the illusion of both bands growing and shrinking suddenly, and upside-down panning shots that'll literally make your head spin. Watch the video below (via Stereogum); maybe just make sure there's an air sickness bag handy.
In a statement, the video's creators, Aplusfilmz and Pier Pictures, explained their wondrous techniques:
"97.92" was created using a 360-degree HD camera rig with a remote-controlled drone octo-copter. The device utilized is the H3Pro7, invented by Michael Kintner of 360Heros.com, which shoots with 7 GoPro cameras all rolling simultaneously. The 7 shots are synced and stitched together to create the full-360 spherical view, which can then be manipulated with the effects and camera movements you see here.
"97.92" is off Converse's CONS EP VOL. 1, which you can stream here. Trash Talk recently announced their fifth studio album, No Peace, due out May 27th via Trash Talk Collective/Odd Future Records.

BUJUMBURA December 3rd (ABP) – Kenya's National Assembly Speaker Justin Bedan Njoka Muturi arrived in Bujumbura on the evening of Friday when he was received with gladness at the Bujumbura International Airport by his Burundian counterpart Pascal Nyabenda, a check on the site by ABP has revealed.
To that end, Mr. Nyabenda appealed to the people of Bujumbura city, but also to the people living in the interior of the country who have the financial means to come and watch the various matches that have started from 1st to end on 11 December 2018, in the Bujumbura City. There are different disciplines including football, volleyball, netball, golf and so on, he said.On that occasion, Mr. Nyabenda first recalled that Burundi will host the East African Community games which are organized every year, especially in December, and that his counterpart from Kenya expressed, during their meeting in Juba (South Sudan), the wish to come to Burundi to support those games and show the solidarity that exists in the sub-region.
The Speaker of the National Assembly of Burundi finally announced that in addition to the delegations that are already there, other visitors are expected in Bujumbura. He cited among them, the wife of former Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete who is netball player, and the second deputy Speaker of the National Assembly of Tanzania who is also a lady.
On his part, Mr. Muturi said that those games help to strengthen the ties between the East African Community countries.

Friends are such a gift. When you combine friends with good food…particularly a home-cooked meal…it's a winning combination for a memorable night. Since we have dinner parties so infrequently, we usually go big. That means spending about a day doing nothing but meal prepping — chopping, slicing, dicing, baking, cleaning, shoving things in closets, you name it. There's a lot of thought that goes into it (something I can literally obsess over for weeks) and a whole lot of love (and failed experiments). Plus, when there's two kids who are trying to help, it takes that much longer.
Over the next three posts, I'll be sharing what I cooked for our Mediterranean-inspired party for 10 (including our two littles). It was the perfect weather — about 82 degrees, sunny, and little to no humidity. In fact, it was one of the last perfect nights before the mega humidity and rain has settled into stay for the summer. We stayed out on the back patio chatting late into the evening, sipping on wine while the kids slept peacefully in their beds. Ahhh…those summer nights!
This beef and lamb kofta lettuce wrap with tzatziki and a Mediterranean salad was our appetizer, but this could EASILY be your main course. I'll start with the Mediterranean tomato and cucumber salad — easy and refreshing — that accompanied the beef and lamb kofta lettuce wrap with tzatziki.
Can we just talk about how massive this cucumber is??! It could eat my child!
Put the salad in the refrigerator until you're ready for it. Next is the kofta. If you're not familiar with kofta — think of it as a South Asian, Middle Eastern, or Balkan meatball (and you'll often see it in a shape of a log). You combine a lot of spices into a bowl…
Add your choice of ground meat…
Form them into patties or balls…
And bake those suckers!
The final presentation included some Boston lettuce leaves as the base, with a smearing of tzatziki, then meatballs on top of that. On the side of the plate, I put a couple of spoonfuls of the Mediterranean salad to give some fresh crunch.
Mediterranean Tomato Salad
- 12 Campari tomatoes tomatoes, diced (about 3 cups diced tomatoes)
- 1 Large English cucumber* (or hot-house cucumber), diced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tsp ground Sumac
- 1/2 tsp ground pepper
*These are usually the cucumbers that are wrapped in plastic at the grocery store. Our stores call them hot-house cukes
- Place the diced tomatoes and cucumbers in a colander over a bowl. Sprinkle with salt and leave to drain for 5 minutes.
- Transfer the tomatoes and cucumbers to a mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and toss well to combine. Enjoy!
Beef and Lamb Kofta Lettuce Wraps with Tzatziki
These meatballs, full of Mediterranean spices, are so unique and pair really well with the creamy and refreshing tzatziki.
- 1/4 c. of Panko break crumbs
- 8 ounces ground sirloin
- 6 ounces lean ground lamb*
- 5 tablespoons grated red onion, divided
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
- 3/4 cup 2% reduced-fat Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons diced English cucumber
- 12 Boston lettuce leaves
*You could easily do this with all sirloin if you didn't want the lamb
- Preheat your oven to 375 degree Fahrenheit. Line baking sheet with lightly greased aluminium foil (or non-stick aluminum foil).
- In a large bow, combine bread crumbs, beef, lamb, 2 tablespoons onion, parsley, mint, cinnamon, allspice, egg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; mix gently until just combined. Shape mixture into 12 (1-inch-thick) balls and place them on baking sheet.
- Cook for about 15 minutes or until cooked through.
- Meanwhile, combine yogurt, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper, cucumber, and remaining 3 tablespoons onion in a medium bowl, stirring well.
- To assemble, arrange lettuce leaves on a large serving plate; top evenly with tzatziki then kofta. Include some of the Mediterranean side salad next to your yogurt and meatball spread.

"What does your father do for a living?" the teacher asks his students Dong-soo and Jun-seok, slapping them in the face in the movie "Friend", a popular South Korean movie released in 2001. Dong-su's father is a mortician, and Jun-seok's father is a retired mafia boss. They are hard-pressed to give an answer to their teacher. While Dong-su takes the beating, Jun-seok cannot take it anymore and gets ready for a fist-fight with the teacher. In the end, Jun-seok thinks better of it and takes the beating, and the teacher beats him up with fists. Who has an issue here?
An inability to control anger might be manifestation of biological factors or a result of an unbearable amount of stress that life entails. It is difficult to draw a clear line between the two types of factors. What is clear is Korean society is witnessing a growing number of "anger crimes'. According to the Statistics Annual Report 2015 of the National Police Agency, of 372,723 violence cases such as injury and assaults, 41.3 percent of the cases was triggered by accident or owing to the individual's dissatisfaction about life. Of 975 felony cases such as murder or attempted murder, 41.3 percent was committed for the same motives.
A series of recent crimes such as the shocking murders of a visiting cable repair man and a high-rise building painter, as well as the parcel-bombing committed by a graduate student against his professor, are all categorized as the cases of anger management disorder. In most cases, the perpetrators are relatively underprivileged. Amidst the fierce competition in society, a growing number of "emotion workers," often forced into offering kind services, are suffering extreme emotional labor before finally exploding. Such a trend is so worrying that the journalist ponders over the need for institutionalized channel for venting anger like those on the streets serving as a human punching bag for money.
From the early 2000s, many companies in Korea have provided counseling services for their employees to soothe their anger and distress. Such an effort is designed to appease the anger that people feel at home and work and prevent irrevocable consequences. It goes without saying that each of us needs to make an effort to control our anger. However, the role of fixing unfair social practices that fuel anger should fall on the shoulders of politics. That said, however, this journalist is angered as the Presidential Office and the ruling and opposition parties of South Korea are showing no signs of cooperation and turning a blind eye to pending issues.

Teaching can be an isolating experience. I spend the vast majority of my time in class rather than with colleagues and admin work is completed at hoteling stations where I tend to be by myself. It is unlike any other job that I've had at the college or in marketing. In those cases, I was constantly surrounded by my peers throughout the day. My colleagues would sit close by, share projects, and even eat together. As a result, there were impromptu moments for conversation and more importantly, collaboration. As a contract faculty, collaboration is unlikely to happen by chance so I've had to develop a Personal Learning Network (PLN) in order to connect and collaborate with other teachers.
A PLN is the group of people that you choose to surround yourself with. It's your team. It's the group of people who will challenge your assumptions, that you will learn from, and who will motivate you. You decide who is in your PLN.
Tips for Creating a PLN:
- Find a faculty discussion group onsite
- In my case, it is a casual, monthly, face-to-face conversation about teaching and learning with a small group of college faculty
- It includes members from a cross-section of disciplines
- Participate in Twitter discussions
- Twitter discussions tend to be fast-paced, and because of the format, you don't have to write too much
- I like to participate in the bi-weekly #UDLchat
- The discussion skews to K-12, but I find that helps to stretch my thinking, especially when I hear that Kindergarteners are using technology to support learning
- Join an Online Community
- I've been participating in eCampus Ontario's Extend West program about 21st Century Learning
- We have weekly video based calls, Twitter activities, and more.
- Find a teaching buddy
- Faculty suggest all the time to students that they should buddy up with a classmate. Perhaps we could take the same approach.
- Mine just so happens to be my neighbour. She also teaches at the college level, but in a totally unrelated discipline which helps us to open up our collective thinking.
PLN Resources:
- If your interested is learning more about PLN's, I encourage you to visit eCampus Ontario's Extend website: Collaborator module . There you'll find more about how and why PLNs work and ways to go about setting them up.
My PLN has helped me to connect with like minded faculty and to create a community. Plus, the people involved have pushed me to reflect on my teaching practice and motivated me to modify it where appropriate. I'm better for it and so too are my students.
Who are you connected to and how did you get connected?

Is Your Home Worth Its Insured Value?
With the fluctuating real estate markets, your home value may be changing rapidly. Find out if your policy covers the replacement value of your home.
Q. With real estate values changing so drastically, how can I know if my house is still worth what it is insured for?
A. It's true that, depending on where you live, your home's market value — the amount a buyer is willing to pay — may have risen and fallen dramatically during the past few years. But your home's insured value is a different, more stable number: It's the amount it would cost — including labor and materials — to rebuild your home if it were destroyed. Take a look at your insurance policy. Most likely, the insured value isn't the same as the price you paid for your house. What accounts for the difference between insured value and market value? Often, it's the increase in the cost of materials and labor to rebuild the home or repair the damages.

Alongside Hon.yama (town of Shizuoka) and Tenryû (town of Hamamatsu), Kawane is one of the three major regions of Shizuoka mountain tea production. So far, I have presented sencha from the Tsuchiya's (Mizukawa sector), from Mr. Masui (Aobe), and from this year, teas from Mr. Konishi, from the Moto-Fujikawa area. This is one of the traditional areas of Kawane sencha production and numbers of producers are very active in the field of contests and temomi-cha (there is a particular method in Kawane called "kawane-momikiri-ryu ").
(* Photos taken on April 24, 2017, at least two weeks prior to the beginning of the harvest in this area.) The Shizu-7132 was harvested on May 15 and Kôshun on May 19 and 21.)
Mr. Konishi, who is still young in light of the large number of veterans in the area, has opted for a pesticide-free crop, with organic fertilizers, and a variety of scent-oriented cultivars rather than strong umami cultivar. I propose to you his Kôshun and his Shizu-7132.
Shizu-7132 is a breed developed from a seed of Yabukita, famous for its perfume reminiscent of the "sakura-mochi" pastry, but also for its instability. Also, this unusual sweet scent is not always very clear, but, it seems that the terroir of Moto-fujikawa as well as the methods of cultivation and manufacture of Mr. Konishi made a great deal with this tea this year.
The fragrance of dried leaves, sweet and sour, is typical of 7132, really very gourmand.
The infusion gives a perfume at first more discreet, although unequivocal as to this cultivar. In the mouth this tea arrived very soft and silky, fluid, with many aromas, sweeter than umami. These Japanese pastry flavors are unique, hard to express, evoking the "pickled" cherry leaf, as well as the fermented sweet grappe. We also feel in the after-taste fresh greenish notes that counterbalance well the sweetness of this aftertaste. The very long lasting length in the mouth is impressive.
Perhaps less refined than that from Hon.yama, this Shizu-7132 from Kawane is also more typical and representative of this unusual cultivar.
With Kôshun, we are on a cultivar just as unique, but also more stable, whose aromas usually emerge very well. Nevertheless, this sencha of Kawane also seems to make good use of this cultivar and this terroir.
This cultivar is known for its stimulating floral fragrance, which can become more fruity with stronger firing (hi-ire). If those of Tamakawa or Shimizu that I propose on Thés du Japon are rather in the second category, this one from Kawane would rather be in floral with its light firing. Yet, this tea is not aggressive. Its fragrance is floral, with certainly this impression of "big wild yellow flower", but also with a more sweet floral touch bringing depth.
In the mouth, this tea is also silky and smooth. We first feel a little astringent touch which then turns into umami. The after-taste characteristic floral aromas, and the long lasting length in the mouth are still exceptional. The evolution of aromas with each infusion is also very interesting.
Here are two very aromatic teas, Shizu-7132 rather expressing in mouth and in throat whereas Kôshun is first very present in the nose then in the length. One as the other are very smooth, silky, yet the power of the aromas is formidable.
I am very pleased to be able to present this terroir and this producer from Kawane for the first time this year.
