School Accountability Report Card (SARC)
What is it?
A SARC is an overview of an individual school site. The report provides details about the school from its mission/ vision, student population and performance data to information about staffing. The SARC is a document where you can find a LOT of important information about a school in one place.
What information is found on the SARC?
There are many different areas on the SARC including: school demographic break down, enrollment; both total and by grade, student to teacher ratio, the school's mission and vision, the performance on state testing, graduation rate, teacher credentials, and the curriculum used at the school. This is the majority of the information but the report has more information. It sounds like a lot BUT it is a summary and written in an easy to read format.
What should you look for on the SARC?
There is a ton of information on the SARC and, while not as overwhelming as some data sources, it can be a little confusing at first glance. Let your goals, and how your student learns, be a guide for what information is important to you. The types of facilities or improvemant may not be important to you while other information about student retention and requirements may be. Depending on the grade level you are interested in you can find out the percentage of students meeting all requirements to enter a UC school, you can find out the number of students meeting the states graduation requirements, the dropout rate, the number of AP classes offered and in what subjects. Simply scroll through the report and pull the information you are most interested in. There are two important criteria that may not be so self explanatory, the API and AYP scores…
Where can you find the SARC?
As required by Prop. 98 all schools prepare and post a yearly report card. All districts post them in different ways but typically, the SARC can be found on the district website, the county website and often on the school's website. If all else fails, or for more information about the SARC, you can also go to the California Department of Education http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/sa/

Most of us are familiar with the basic practices that make up a good teacher evaluation process: observe, measure and track performance; give feedback effectively; conduct teacher evaluation meetings; and coach to support performance throughout the year.
There are, however, several other performance management practices that can help improve the effectiveness of your teacher evaluation process. Districts and even individual schools can easily adopt any or all of them to maximize the impact of evaluations.
Conduct Self-Assessments to Get Each Teacher's Perspective
A fairly simple practice to implement at the district or school level is teacher self-assessments. You can use the same form you do for teacher evaluations, or create a slightly modified version. The purpose of the self-assessment is to get each teacher's perspective on his or her performance. This is a powerful way to give educators a voice in the evaluation process and help them feel more engaged.
Administrators and principals unfamiliar with the practice often worry that teachers will give themselves glowing reviews and ratings, making the evaluation meeting more difficult when there are performance problems. Experience shows, however, that the opposite tends to be true. When we evaluate ourselves, we tend to be much harsher than others. Getting the teacher's perspective is an invaluable way to get more information on performance and prepare the evaluator for the meeting. It prepares all parties to gain insight into expectations and address differences in opinion or perspective.
Seek the Opinions of Others with 360-Degree Reviews
Another effective technique that helps increase objectivity of teacher evaluations is gathering 360-degree feedback from others. Multi-rater feedback can help avoid bias, get a different perspective on teachers' performance, and better identify areas requiring coaching or development.
You can collect feedback from other teachers, non-teaching professionals, and even parents, volunteers or students — anyone who interacts with the teacher on a regular basis and can give you insight into his/her performance. When you substantiate feedback by gathering it from multiple, credible sources, you make it more objective and increase its impact.
Align Teachers' Goals with District Goals
When you're assigning teachers goals as part of the evaluation process, it's important to give these goals a larger context. This helps educators understand why their work is important and how they're contributing to the district's success. Research on engagement has shown that this context-setting is vital to performance. It helps staff feel that their work matters.
There's a famous story about a visitor to NASA headquarters who came across a janitor sweeping the floor. When he asked the janitor what he was doing, the janitor replied: "I'm helping to put a man on the moon." It's this kind of goal alignment that helps drive up everyone's performance and engagement.
Help Teachers Succeed with Development Plans
Districts and schools often do development planning separately from their teacher evaluation process. But staff development and performance improvement plans are much more powerful when they're integrated. The teacher evaluation meeting is typically the prime time for discussing performance deficiencies. Creating and documenting development plans during the meeting therefore helps to communicate the evaluator's and the district's commitment to the teacher, and their expectations for improvement. This type of planning also gives the teacher a clear context for personal professional development.
The evaluation meeting is also a wonderful opportunity to discuss the teacher's career aspirations, both short and long-term, and explore opportunities for advancement. Feeling that they have a career path is another key contributor to teacher engagement.
Reward Good Performance
You can help expand the value and impact of your teacher evaluation process by implementing a pay-for performance or other reward program. Performance ratings should be a known and visible factor in determining rewards. Merit increases, bonuses and other forms of reward or recognition should be integrated with your teacher evaluation process so that they serve to reinforce desired behaviors and performance.
Taking Teacher Evaluations to the Next Level
Teacher evaluations should be about much more than documenting and delivering feedback and coaching. When expanded beyond the basics, they become a powerful tool not only for helping educators develop and achieve their full potential, but also for helping drive student success.

I tried to get to Catawba, VA via "avoid highways" on my Google maps. However, the device asked me to turn right into trees and go on roads that weren't there and then I took random turns down roads that looked cool. All in all, a fun way to go and see interesting parts of the American past and present. Later, I asked one of the neighbors on Ryan's street if I could catch the sunset on the mountains from his back porch. (since you can't really see it when there are houses and trees in the way.) It was a little too late for sunset, but the mountain view from their porch is lovely.
When I was waiting in the house, I photographed the indoor plants.
Enjoy the photos of the Roanoke and Salem area of Virginia.

Before Dr. Kimberley Hagen co-founded the Center for AIDS Research at Emory University in Atlanta -- back when there barely was any HIV research, or HIV education, or anything but fear and ignorance surrounding HIV and those affected by it -- she was a frontline community educator during the darkest days of the epidemic. Now she's an assistant professor of behavioral science and health education at the Rollins School of Public Health -- and she teaches a massive open online course called "AIDS" with more than 10,000 students enrolled. How did her long career begin? She was looking for a poster for her kitchen.
In this amusing, illuminating conversation, Hagen recounts teaching against the terror of the times; facing stigma with humor in the most unusual places; and how she witnessed the ways HIV/AIDS changed the entire profession of infectious disease medicine.
Read about how Hagen teaches HIV nowadays in part two of this conversation.
Read other articles in this spotlight series.
In teaching HIV/AIDS, have you ever experienced any instances of political incorrect, racist, sexist, heterosexist and/or homophobic language? If so, how did you address it?
Oh, yes. To remind you, I started doing this at the beginning of the epidemic. When I first started working as a medical educator, every single room I walked into was full of frightened people. In some people, the fright would turn to anger. It's just how some people deal with their fright, is to get angry.
For example, I was conducting a continuing education program for a group of physicians in a small Georgia town that will remain forever unnamed. It was a dinner meeting, and I was to talk to them about the need to take sex histories from their patients on a routine basis to try and determine if they were at risk for HIV. One of the physicians stopped me in the middle of a sentence and said to me, "Let me get this straight: You want me to talk to my women who are in my OB/GYN practice, the married ladies who come see me, and you want me to ask them about their husbands' sex lives?" And I said, "Yes sir, I do." And he threw his dinner at me. Threw it right at me! Yep, hit a nerve! [laughs] That was a one-off situation because I didn't have a chance to come in and do any preliminary work around HIV. This particular group had been told by their local whatever that they had to start being more aware of HIV patient care. They had to do sex histories, referrals for testing, use infection control. This is how old I am: When I started, nobody was doing infection control, and it was a new idea.
One of my favorite things to do when I would have a training is to start with what I call the "Dirty Words" game. I'd put pieces of paper all around the room and I would put the anatomically correct words for various body parts and sex acts on them and I'd give people markers and say, "Run around the room and put down every euphemism you possibly can." And that would be a good way for people to go from being nervous, scared or not wanting to be there to laughing about it and relaxing and starting to normalize the conversation. It was extremely effective, but sometimes people would bring up racist or sexist or insert-every-"-phobic"-here terms. But, that would be an opportunity where we could talk it through.
Once, when doing that, I was right in the middle when suddenly a camera crew walked in, and the mayor of the little town I was visiting came in. They set up a podium, and she started talking into the camera about what an excellent opportunity this is, that they had brought people from Emory University down to their hospital to talk about HIV/AIDS education because the hospital is committed to providing the most highly compassionate care that they can. The cameras are pointing right at her. Right behind her is the big white piece of paper with the word "PENIS" written on it, and every euphemism in the planet written down below it. [laughs] Right behind her! And, as she's talking, the top two pieces of tape start to come loose and the piece of paper starts to peel away from the wall. And people start laughing, and that begins to get her attention, so she turns around to see what's going on, and without missing a beat, she goes, "Don't you just hate it when that happens?" [laughs]
Yes, I had a lot of that. I would walk into classrooms and I would give out index cards and I'd say, "I don't want you to write your name on it. I want you to write down any questions you've got around HIV." Because then, I could answer those questions without asking people to "out" themselves by raising their hands. And a lot of times, the questions wouldn't be questions; they'd be sort of rants. "This is God's judgment on" insert whoever you don't like here. People who are promiscuous! People who are gay! People who are drug users! People who are sex workers! And, they'd say, "I think they should just pack them all up and ship them off to an island!" And I'd say, "Really? What island? Rhode Island?" [laughs] It would have to be a pretty big island!
"The fear was there, but everything was a teaching moment; all of it was a teaching moment."
The fear was there, but everything was a teaching moment; all of it was a teaching moment.
I was with my coworkers at a restaurant and the owner of the restaurant came up to our table and asked us to leave. And we were like, "What? We're not having a food fight." And he said, "Look around, you've managed to chase off all of my other customers!" And we were just talking shop around HIV. And everybody at all the other tables had gotten up and left, just in case they could catch it from our conversation.
We turned that into a teachable moment. We asked the guy if we could have members of our supportive services group bring over educational materials, flyers. What could we do to help? Yeah, we're going to keep coming here. You're right next to where we work! He turned out to be an advocate and friend.
There were things like that all the time. I used to have a problem at parties; the hostesses would hate me. If I was eating my food from the refreshments table, and someone would ask what I did for a living, after I told them, nobody would touch the food at the refreshments table. A lot of times, we dealt with it by trying to diffuse it and deal with it with humor.
The course description for your online class is wonderful; it talks a lot about the divide between people who grew up before the dawn of the AIDS epidemic and those that have grown up since. It got me thinking about how you were teaching in the '80s as a medical educator and now you're teaching university courses in 2013. How have students' reactions to HIV/AIDS changed from when you were teaching in 1986 to now?
When I started as a medical educator here at Emory University, we all thought that we were going to be getting requests to give lectures about infection control and about how you provide patient care, what the new drugs were, etc. But the requests we got from the infectious disease doctors and the internal medicine doctors were all about how they should deal with their grief. How they dealt with how hard it was to provide this care. And it occurred to me that we were at a pivotal moment in medicine, here.
"One of the reasons people who became infectious disease doctors went into medicine was that they really loved to ride in on the white horse, apply their brain cells, figure out what the problem was, judiciously pour antibiotics all over it, and then ride happily off into the sunset with the patients they'd cured."
Doctors self-select. The personality of the person who becomes a pediatrician and the personality of the person who becomes a neurosurgeon: not the same people. They self-select into the area that they want to go into. One of the reasons people who became infectious disease doctors went into medicine was that they really loved to ride in on the white horse, apply their brain cells, figure out what the problem was, judiciously pour antibiotics all over it, and then ride happily off into the sunset with the patients they'd cured. It was the golden era of antibiotics. If you were smart, you liked puzzles, and you had a little bit of a hero complex in you, that was the field you went into -- infectious disease and internal medicine -- because you could cure all your patients.
And then HIV came along. And it didn't matter what you did, no matter what, because in those early days we did not have the drugs we have now, the tests we have now. All we had were people who showed up late-stage, highly symptomatic, and we could do nothing for them. No matter what you did, your patients died. And so, they would turn to me, and other educators like myself, to help them figure out how they were going to deal with this. I gave so many classes about how you process grief.
Now, jump forward to 2012, 2013, and I go and talk to infectious disease and internal medicine doctors -- those are guys who grew up knowing that this is what the deal was. They went to medical school after HIV/AIDS became a routine part of the medical horizon. They're different people than the students that I had in the early years. Their questions are different, their issues are different.
It's the same with the undergraduates. When I first started doing community education, the most common question that I got was, "Can you get this from a mosquito bite?" No one asks that question anymore. Enough years have passed that, if you could get it from a mosquito bite, somebody would've. [laughs] But, the students that I see now, all of them -- except perhaps for non-traditional students -- there aren't any students in the undergraduate schools who were born before HIV. For them, this is just part of the background. They're interested in it almost as a historical artifact, or finding out about this because they have friends who might be infected, or that they're possibly at risk. The divide is very apparent to me, in that the information that people ask me about has changed, and the degree to which people just think this is normal.
How did you first get involved in HIV education?
I'm going to tell you a story about that: Back in the mid-'80s, I had just moved into a new apartment in Atlanta, and I was in the process of decorating my apartment. I was walking through town one day, and I saw the most perfect poster. It was gorgeous. It was a big heart. And I thought, "Oh, that's exactly what I need for my kitchen!"
I walked into the store and I said, "Can I buy a copy of that poster?" The man said, "No, I'm sorry, that's just an advertisement for a fundraiser. But, I'm sure if you attend the fundraiser, they'd be happy to sell you a copy of the poster." I decided, sure, why not. On the day of the fundraiser, I had nothing else going on.
I went up to the Fox Theatre, having never been to the Fox Theatre, not realizing that it was one of the most gloriously beautiful theatres in the country, and that people who go to events there are in long dresses, tuxedos, etc. [laughs] I slid into the lobby in the shorts and T-shirt I was wearing as I biked over there, and tried to be as inconspicuous as possible.
I sat in the last row of the top balcony, but it was so far away from the stage that you could not actually see the stage from there. So I moved down and sat on the steps, which put me right next to a person sitting on the edge of that row, and that's when I found out what the fundraiser was all about. I was attending this without even knowing what it was; I just wanted a poster for my house! This fundraiser was for an organization called AID Atlanta, which existed to provide help, social support, help people locate care providers, anything, for people living with HIV.
I was mesmerized by this. I was also becoming very aware of the fellow sitting next to me who was very clearly moved by everything we were hearing and seeing. He began to kinda fall apart and cry, and what could I do? I started patting his knee then put my arm around his shoulder, telling him, "Oh, it's going to be OK." Finally he calmed down, and I said, "What's going on?" And he said, "I really shouldn't have come this evening. It's too much. I buried my 13th friend from AIDS today." And that rocked me back on my heels.
He said, "How many people have you lost to AIDS so far?" And I said, "Hmm. None. Yet." He looked a little puzzled and said, "Are you gay?" I said "No." And at that, he physically withdrew from me and looked at me extremely suspiciously and said, "Then what are you doing here?"
"I realized this is not just a terrible disease, this is a terrible disease that was isolating the people who were affected and infected."
In that moment, I realized this is not just a terrible disease, this is a terrible disease that was isolating the people who were affected and infected by it so much that a person who was attending a fundraiser could not even imagine why someone who was not personally affected by this would even want to come. It just hit me, like a bolt out of the blue. It's the mid-'80s, the epidemic is not widely known outside of the circles of those who are in fact affected by it.
I'm trying to stumble my way through the conversation, and I say, "Well, you hear what they're saying down there. This isn't just a gay disease. This affects everybody. I'm part of the everybody!" He saw right through me. He said, "Those are great words, but what are you actually doing?" And I'm thinking to myself, "Buying a poster for my house?"
It was a challenge. It was not even a thinly-veiled challenge. I left that fundraiser that evening and couldn't stop thinking about it. And that weekend, I walked down to AID Atlanta and volunteered. They were as surprised to see me as this young fella was! I may have, in fact, been the first straight woman who didn't have a brother with AIDS to walk in the door to volunteer. Once I was really aware, I just couldn't let it drop.
I had a perfectly excellent job working in management development, taking people out into the woods and doing team-building exercises, and I taught high-ropes courses and rock climbing and rappelling and I loved my job. But, somehow, this seemed more important, so I quit my job! I became an 80-hour-a-week volunteer over at AID Atlanta. I read my way through the entire treatment library, I volunteered for the Helpline, and I did everything I could to self-educate around HIV/AIDS.
In the process of that, I became a buddy. That was a big deal, because it was only after I started working there that it dawned on me that the person who had worked with me at a previous job at a bank, the next bank teller over, was probably gay. Now that I had developed my gaydar, I had realized, "Oh my goodness, I have lots of friends and family members who are gay, I just didn't know it!" And I started to obsess about these people who were a part of my life or had been a part of my life, and, for some reason I really focused on the fellow who had been the bank teller next to me. I thought, "OK, I'm going to make a deal with the universe. I'm going to become a buddy to a person living with AIDS so that out there somewhere, somebody like me will be a buddy for him!" We had completely lost touch, it had been years since we had been in the same place, and I didn't even know if he was still in Atlanta.
I went for my interview to see if I had what it took to be a buddy. I walk in the room, and there's my friend. He's the one who's going to give me the interview. I just stopped and stared at him. His first question was, "Why do you want to be a buddy?" I'm like, "Should I tell him the truth? Should I say, 'So that somebody will take care of you if you have HIV'?"
"I'm making a deal with the universe!" I said! Fortunately, he thought that was funny and kind and touching and I passed the interview.
My very first task when I was assigned my very first buddy was to go over and introduce myself. It turned out that it was a bad day for him. He was on the sofa, he didn't have the strength to get up; but he was raised right, he was raised in the South, just like me. So he said, "Why don't you go in the kitchen and fix us both some Cokes?" I got the cans of Coke out, thinking I'm so glad that the first task I was given with my buddy was within my skill set. I went to the cabinet to reach up for a glass and my hand got about an inch and a half form the glass and it froze. Just froze. I mean, I had been through all the training sessions by this time. I knew you could not get HIV from touching a glass or from drinking out of a glass, but it's like my hand didn't know that. My brain did, but the rest of my body didn't know it.
To this day, I sometimes think, following through with that action, forcing my hand to go that extra inch and a half, pour a Coke into a glass, take it into the next room and share a Coke with this man who was living with AIDS was probably the bravest thing I ever did, because despite what I knew, I was experiencing fear. And I said, "I will not let this fear stop me. I will do this even though I am afraid."
"But I've never forgotten what that \[fear\] felt like, and it moved me in the direction that I have taken for the rest of my career path."
I think that, as I was driving home after that was when I realized I wanted to be an AIDS educator, because I thought there must be people out there like me who are care providers and they're still doing it even though they're scared. I want to be one of those people who help them work through the fear. It wasn't long before I was grabbing the pizza and Coke out of his hands; I got past my fear almost right away. But I've never forgotten what that felt like, and it moved me in the direction that I have taken for the rest of my career path. It was a desire to help people understand that the difference between the risk that they felt like they were facing (huge) and the risk that they were taking (tiny) could be bridged.
That was when I moved full-speed into really trying to self-educate. There were no formal programs you could take.
So, there's the really really really long story. How did I get into this? I wanted a poster for my kitchen! [laughs] I tell the story sometimes to my graduate students, and I say to them "Sometimes you do the right thing for the wrong reasons, and that's OK. As long as you do the right thing."

This lamp is cheap at £7.99 and feels cheap
This lamp is expensive at £49.99 and feels expensive
This lamp is quite cheap at £12.99 but feels expensive
Why does it feel so expensive? Chrome styling helps but mainly it's because of the addition of a VERY heavy base which makes it weigh alot. This makes it feel more luxurious and akin to the very expensive lamp. You feel like you are getting alot for your money as you lug the heavy box out of the shop.
It's often the subtle, cheap to implement signals that you build into a product which break the price-value equation for the consumer giving your product an advantage in the competitive marketplace.
What subtle signals of product and brand quality are you building into your product?

Flower Review: Birthday Cake by Jefferson State Farms
I ventured out of my regular cannabis consumption habits for this cannabis flower review as I am usually a sativa girl (which you may know from reading my other reviews). I am happy to say it was totally worth it, as the indica-dominant Birthday Cake by Jefferson State Farmswas sweet with calming and predictable effects.
Jefferson State Farms is based in Southern Oregon and the company feels deeply connected to this distinct region and the community that's settled there. As a company, they strive to foster a down-to-earth culture that aligns with nature and the people that call this area home, and pride themselves in being a local independent cannabis farm with sungrown flower.
Ben Yuma is Jefferson State Farm's lead grower. Yuma said, "We are a small family farm with big dreams. This was our first year growing Birthday Cake and it won't be our last. Birthday Cake was a huge success for us from cultivation to sales."
Packaging: As this was a raw flower review, I did not have packaging to observe. However, I will say that Jefferson State Farms has done a nice job on their logo in representing their themes of "independent cannabis" and "freedom under the sun."
Taste: Both the nose and taste on this strain are sweet, as noted in it's name. It had notes of vanilla and was both sweet and earthy upon the inhale. I was impressed with how well the taste was preserved in this sungrown flower.
Effect: This sweet strain was calming, relaxing, and I enjoyed it very much as an evening strain to help me unwind after a long work day. Testing at 20.18% THC, this strain gave me both a soothing (but not overpowering) head and body high and, even though I am usually a sativa girl, I enjoyed its effects very much.
Lead Grower Ben Yuma also told me that they are just about sold out of the sungrown Birthday Cake (only 10 pounds left!), but don't fret! This farm has plenty of other strainsin their partner shops including Purple Cookies and Lemon Kush.
About Jefferson State Farms:
As proud residents of the state of Jefferson, it's in our nature to think for ourselves. We are most inspired by the fights of our forefathers, notions of progress and freedom. It is the history of our area that has long instilled in us the idea that if we band together with our neighbors, we can be advocates for positive change. Back in the 1850's, following the Gold Rush, and again in the 1940's following rapid national development, there was a push for a 49th state where the open lands of Northern California and Southern Oregon could come together and draw a new line for themselves. These pioneers stood outside the hearts of their states' biggest cities and as their voices and concerns struggled to be heard, they sought their own laws and lawmakers. We like to reflect on this history as we look forward into the cannabis industry. Where would we be today without people of the past who had the courage to propose new ideas and work hard to see to their success? What is today known as 'The Emerald Triangle' was once flush with gold and glittering with prospects of opportunity. If you ask us, we still see our land in this light. The gold is now green and the opportunities are plenty for all.

Paddy 1L
The most well known of all the Irish whiskeys is Paddy whiskey. But less well known, is the fact that this delightful whiskey was named after a gregarious sales representative for Cork Distilleries Company called Paddy Flaherty.

 On the nose it's fresh and lively, aromatic - a complex interplay of nutty maltiness, woodland fragrances and spice, with hints of honey and vanilla. On the palate it's mild, soft, a distinctive mellow maltiness, a touch of sweet oil, spiciness.

Compost Teas for Horticulture and Landscape
The soils, rootzones and potting mixes used in the growth of vegetables, garden plants and trees are fairly sterile for a variety of reasons.
Peat based growing media, even when mixed with green waste compost, is by its very nature low in microbial activity. Soils left fallow for several months loose the nutrients from the plants that support a healthy mix of bacteria, fungi, protozoa, nematodes and arthropods essential for nutrient recycling, disease suppression and soil friability, while landscape contractors often have to cope with heavy sub soils or heavily compromised top soil.
Compost teas are an easy, cost effective way of introducing the micro-organisms that make up a healthy soil food web.
What type of compost tea do my plants need?
As a soil drench.
Brassicas and annual grasses grow in bacterial dominant soils and need a bacterial dominant compost tea brewed for approx 10 hours.
Vegetables, perennial garden plants and perennial grasses grow in a rootzone with a good mix of fungi and bacteria and need a balanced tea brewed for 18-24 hours.
Shrubs need a more fungal dominant tea while hardwood trees and conifers grow in soils rich in fungi need a very fungal dominant tea brewed for 24-36 hours.
It is relatively easy to grow bacteria in sufficient numbers but to ensure a fungal dominant tea we recommend that a fungal additive comprising a broad spectrum of fungi be added towards the end of the brewing process.
When growing plants or trees in sterile growing media or disturbed landscape soils, Symbio Liquid Mycorrhizal fungi may be added to the first application of tea if the tea is certain to come into contact with the roots.
As a Foliar Spray
There is anecdotal evidence to suggest that a bacterial dominant tea applied as a foliar spray may help the plant combat disease and drought stress. This can only be ascertained for a given set of circumstances on a trial and error basis. The tea should be brewed for 8-‐10 hours and a bacterial additive containing a broad spectrum of beneficial bacteria may be added.
Use the quantities of compost and nutrient on the instructions for the compost and nutrients used. Symbio sell packs suitable for a minimum of 50 litres and 100 litres of compost tea concentrate.
Compost teas should not be mixed with inorganic chemicals or fertilisers and if the spray tank has been used for pesticides it should be thoroughly cleaned before filling with compost tea.
Compost teas can be applied via standard sprayer, fertigation system (care must be taken to prevent biomass growing on the nozzles), irrigation system or simple watering can. On spray and fertigation systems the pressure should be below 3 bars.
Add the compost tea to the spray tank and dilute with de chlorinated water. If mains water is used add it to the tank the day before to give chlorine time to dissipate before adding the compost tea.
Frequency of Application
Frequency of application depends on climate, glass house or field grown plants, general soil composition and health, the plants being grown, soil organic matter and the other biostimulants and nutrients applied. As a rough guide the following application frequency will provide good results.
Landscaping ‐ new trees and shrubs, bedding plants and roses, bulbs, grass. Once at transplanting planting and once a few weeks later. If possible further applications will usually enhance plant growth.
Field grown plants, shrubs, and trees – Once at transplanting planting or seeding, then monthly until harvest or growth is established in the first year. In poor quality soils in subsequent years an application in spring and autumn will assist root and top growth.
Field grown flowers and vegetables – Once at planting and after 2-3 weeks then every 4-8 weeks until harvest.
Glass house plants and containerised trees – Every 4-6 weeks from cutting or sowing and also when transplanting to larger containers.
For best results ensure that the plants are inoculated with the correct Mycorrhizal fungi and apply fulvic and humic acids, and fish hydrolysate as required with each application to feed the micro organisms and use BioBooster Liquid Organic fertilisers.
Tank Mixing
You can tank mix compost teas with the following biostimulants.
Symbio Humic Acid, Symbio Fulvic Acid, Symbio HydroAid Yuccah, Symbio Liquid Seaweed, Symbio BioBooster Fish Hydrolysate, and BioBooster Liquid Organic fertilisers. Always pre dilute the biostimulant with at least an equal amount of water and add it to the nearly full spray tank after diluting the compost tea in the tank.
You can also add Symbio Liquid Mycorrhizal spores and propagules if using the tea as a soil and root drench.
Coverage using Symbio Compost Tea and Nutrient Packs
50 litres pack 5,000 –>> 20,000 sq.m
100 litres pack 10,000 –>> 40,000 sq.m
The amount of concentrate required depends upon the general health and organic matter content of the soil. When first applying compost teas we suggest the following as a guide.
Soil organic matter less than 2% -------------- 10 litres concentrate per 1,000 sq.m
Soil organic matter 2% - 3% ------------------ 10 litres concentrate per 1,000 – 2,000 sq.m
Soil organic matter 3% - 4% ------------------ 10 litres concentrate per 2,000 – 3,000 sq.m
Soil organic matter greater than 4% -----------10 litres concentrate per 3,000 – 4,000 sq.m
There is no maximum amount of water that may be used in the brewer, spray or fertigation tank. You need enough to drench the rootzone - we recommend a minimum of 500 litres per hectare.

Even on a narrow strip of wall space, this type of wall decor can be exactly what a space needs to make it pop, even with black and gold tape.
10. Neon Pink Geometric washi tape wall decor from McKenna Bleu
Now to one of my favourites! The neon pink has created a perfect pop of colour on a plain wall.
The furniture and wall art makes the washi decor stand out even more.
It looks incredible.
Now my questions for you;
Do you have a huge washi tape collection or do you dream of one?
Would you ever washi tape a wall?

bikes, baskets, daisies and hats
Thu 24th, Jul, 2014
Hellooo, I've been busy here, people to see, places to go…I've feel like I've hardly unpacked my bags from California, let alone gone through the photos…
So anyway, today I had a look at some of the things I brought home with me…the vintage quilt I found treasure hunting is currently in the laundry room tub soaking away, it was in very fragile condition but needed to be washed, I hope it survives. To be honest here, I shouldn't have even attempted to wash it, but I cannot stand the thought of dry cleaning, the idea of those chemicals, I've never liked it and NEVER buy anything that needs to go to the dry cleaner…so I am hoping my vintage quilt, hand-stitched by someone in the USA (at least I think so) and now calling an old Australian cottage on the beaches of Sydney home, makes it through the washing and enjoys being dried under the Aussie sun…
This picnic hamper is the other thing that winged it's way home from the states with us…to say I have had my eyes open for one of these for, oh about 15 years, is an understatement…I had hoped to find an old worn vintage one on my trip to California…I love a good picnic basket in my life.
So the day I found this handmade picnic basket was a happy day…there was a long discussion about whether or not we had any space or weight left to bring it home but more importantly whether or not it would get past Australian Quarantine's wood restrictions…we took a chance…and luckily she's in and part of the family ;) you'll see many guest appearances from her in Beach Cottage Land…just wait to that sunshine and warm weather comes back in a few weeks time, I'll be getting my cost per wear from this baby that is for sure…
I couldn't resist trying her out on my bike…
Be seeing you

hope your quilt washes ok!
I also dislike dry cleaning … I've washed many things that weren't meant to be washed!;0 … mainly ok! lol m:)X
Love it :) I love picnic baskets but unfortunately, we don't find ones like this here. And yeah, your quilt will survive :)if it survived being vintage, it definitely will survive being clean. Good luck and dying to see it :)
Am I the only one eyeing off that gorgeous black striped basket tote???! ;))
Gorgeous bike Sarah!
I love that basket too. :)
I'm looking for a bike right now too!
I found one but Im still considering..its not one of my favourite colours. (purple)
I'd love white, cream or aqua…maybe I'll just be patient and wait until I find the right one for me :)
I'm sure that quilt is so lovely…looking forward to seeing it!
Hope you and your family are doing well..think of you often :)
All my heart,
Deborah xo
Oohh i can't wait to see the quilt either!
I'm picnic basket crazy, quilt crazy (agree with readers… My gr grand's survived washing's too) and just found a vintage british raleigh bike someone painted creamy white! So happy I'm not alone

Tax Relief Solutions.
One thing that most people really try to evade is paying tax. We have gotten used to hearing of tax exemption or tax evasion but rarely do we fully get to understand about tax relief. The other tax words are always bad news but tax relief is different and therefore good news. Tax relief involves the reduction of the amount of tax to be paid by a company or an individual. Tax relief solutions however are varied, usually they can be used alone or in combination with one or more other listed solutions. Below are some tax relief solutions that might ease your tax paying.
An important solution that will bring relief to you or to your company is if you agree to pay in part. This solution works in a way that it makes allowance for some taxpayers to pay a minimal amount of tax in a month. It is a wonder why this solution is not famous, it one of the very simple solutions and doesn't have many complications.
Streamlining pay agreements is another clever solution to paying taxes and getting relief. This is also another easy way to settle. This one is as easily achieved as visiting the tax body and talking to the people in charge, then you can agree on the terms of payment. This way the interest will continue to amass until the amount is paid off completely.
Another solution is to amend your tax returns. Hiring a skilled tax attorney at this stage is advised. Allow him to go through the documents and the exemptions in your past returns. This will bring down your tax liability by ensuring you have claimed all the appropriate deductions.
Having yourself declare bankruptcy is yet another way to solve the issue of tax. All or a significant part of your tax obligations may be completely erased. The tax amount is erased most of the time bankruptcy is filed if the income tax was reported at least three years before a plea for bankruptcy was filed.
One other solution that is usually misunderstood by many is to claim a form of hardship. If indeed you are undergoing some form of hardship, then you will not owe tax if you claim using the hardship, probably not all but at least some amount will be reduced.
Obtaining a penalty abatement is yet another solution. Situations that cause unavoidable delays like grievous bodily injury, an error in calculation among others may be used as a legitimate reason to erase the tax amount you owe. Being able to present a profound case is where the solution lays in the eyes of the tax collection agency.
These are the few several tax relief solutions that one can use to resolve the little problem of tax. They have been checked and tested and have worked for many though there may be more.

A human rights video by Sophia Kyriacou, United Kingdom is a Gold Winner in the 2016 Muse Creative Awards.
Company : Sophia Kyriacou
Project Title : The Human Rights Zoetrope
Category : Motion Graphics
Country : United Kingdom
Noon Visual Creatives commissions Sophia Kyriacou to design a television programme brand on the various aspects of human rights, simply called, Human Rights. To express the various aspects of human rights Sophia Kyriacou turns the concept of the Zoetrope. The Greek word, Zoe, means life and tropos. Literally translating to the "wheel of life", the video portrays this scenario with a Ying and Yang approach.
Zoetrope establishes with water; without it, there simply is no life. As the viewer is taken above the tiers, the imprisoned dove flying free contrasts the negative scenario of the prisoner. Above a Syrian child wearing a life jacket suggests to have travelled across the Mediterranean Sea to find hope. In contrast of this scene, there is a young girl oblivious, happily playing with a spinning top.
An essential part of the brief was the opening title sequence had to withstand repeated viewing, packed with stories. Besides, it have to be able to deliver both English and Arabic end frame typographical versions with identical visuals.
Watch the winning video here.

CSC Launches Global Insurance Software Suite for Multi-line, Multilingual, Multi-currency Administration
News Release -- June 09, 2010
Java-based Integral Family to Provide End-to-End Policy/Group Management
FALLS CHURCH, Va., June 9 – CSC (NYSE: CSC) today announced the launch of Integral, a comprehensive software suite for all lines of insurance, including end-to-end policy/group management, product configuration and business analytics capabilities. The portable Java-based Integral architecture integrates multi-line, multilingual and multi-currency insurance processing for life insurance, annuities/pensions, property and casualty/general insurance and group insurance administration, enabling licensees to implement quickly and operate cost-effectively.
Integral represents CSC's collective insurance expertise and is the outcome of a strategic innovation program to expand the technology platform choices for LIFE/Asia, POLISY/Asia, POLISY/J, LIFE/J and GROUP/Asia family of CSC software. Supported by local, dedicated service delivery teams, those systems are processing at least 65 million policies/groups in more than 34 countries, for a client base of nearly 125 companies.
"Insurers are seeking systems that are, on the one hand, highly integrated, leveraging a common architecture and data model. On the other hand, they should be able to be implemented solutions in a phased, function-by-function or modular approach. The insurers will experience better results from finding modules that are pre-integrated for easier deployment and reduced implementation risks," said Kimberly Harris-Ferrante, vice president, distinguished analyst and IR chief of Research, Gartner. "Taking this approach, insurers can find improved results including faster return on investment, easier straight-through-processing capabilities, and overall reduced project risks."
Integral is ideally suited for multinational insurance firms seeking a single platform for regional or international operations; domestic insurance firms wanting to launch a new product quickly without disrupting their existing processing; insurers needing a self-contained insurance administration solution for quick start-up of new ventures; and multi-line insurers looking for a complete, low-maintenance processing capability for a secondary line of business.
As CSC's latest addition to its extensive portfolio of insurance processing systems, Integral is an example of CSC's commitment to client choice. Its arrival further enhances CSC's ability to offer the best solution to the client wherever the client operates.
"To aid our expansion into new markets, we have enhanced some of our best regional, multi-line and multi-currency software for platform portability and reuse globally," said Ray August, president of CSC's Financial Services Group. "CSC remains committed to delivering the right solutions to the right markets at the right time to help our clients boost customer service, create efficiencies and meet their growth objectives."

Khalid Ali Tells Story on Michael Jordan Game Worn Shoes
Khalid Ali was a ball-boy for the Los Angeles Lakers in the mid 80s. Growing up as a Georgetown fan, he was devastated to see a Freshman Jordan knock down a game winner against his beloved Hoyas. From that moment on, he knew MJ would be special. Oh was he right. In Jordan's first appearance at The Forum, Ali built up the courage and broke some rules. He had approached Jordan before the game and asked for the sneakers post-contest. Jordan was kindly enough to promise the young man the size 13 kicks.
Jacques Slade interviewed Ali and helps us understand the situation as the kicks went to auction in the video below. Another media outlet, Darren Rovell of ESPN reported on the final figures as the shoe exchanged owners. The Earliest MJ NBA game-worn pair has sold for $71,553:

University-Wide Learning Management Software Appropriated to Aid Autistic Students in Collaboration Skills
The cyber world of tech-enthusiasts is all-a-buzz over Bellevue College's new use of school-wide learning management software to aid autistic students with collaboration skills. Bellevue College in Washington is home to Autism Spectrum Navigators, a support and skill development program for students with ASD. Throughout this past academic year, the Navigators have employed a new resource for aiding autistic students in collaboration with small academic groups. The software, Canvas, has a discussion board feature through which teachers and students can share assignments, grades, and interactive materials including audio and video. The content is manageable from smartphone and tablet interfaces as well, enabling continual access to the course dialogue and mediating the social component of learning. Sara Gardner, the manager of the Navigator program, asserts that since appropriating the Canvas discussion board feature for autistic assistance, the program has seen a marked increase in confidence and communication among students. Gardner advocates for the use mediating social tools for autistics. On the spectrum herself, Gardner telecommutes for part of each week to lessen exposure to social interactions that can be disrupting and strenuous for individuals with ASD.
Of the members of Navigators, students who utilized the Canvas program have completed more courses than those not involved in the program and have improved their grades overall. Brain Whitmer, co-founder of Instructure (the company responsible for Canvas), has a six-year-old daughter on the autism spectrum. While Whitmer did not intend for the program to be utilized particularly for autistic students, he comments on the success of Bellevue College's adaptation saying, "It's great to hear about how Canvas can help with autism, and that's something I'd like to continue to help with in the future."
