An alternative to FTA's Integrated Flight Deck Programme , is modular training.
If you're looking for a career as a commercial airline pilot, this approach still allows you to go from Zero to Frozen ATPL, but enables you to set the pace. This is a popular choice for students who want to alternate between training and part- or full-time employment.
Whilst the majority prefer to complete multiple courses with us at FTA, you are welcome to complete a single course, such as our one of a kind, ATPL Theory. Special packages are available for those who want to complete multiple programmes with us. Click here for more information.
Students following the modular route complete several individual courses until they achieve all qualifications, licences and ratings for their Frozen ATPL. Once complete you can then apply for a First Officer position at a commercial airline.
The modular course is highly comprehensive and structured. It's designed to deliver the required training to the highest standard in the most flexible way.
The time it takes to complete the necessary training on a module by module basis depends on the individual's pace. Use the following quick links below to learn more about the course you're interested in.

How do your customers know what services you are providing? What level of detail do your invoices illustrate? These are important questions with a wide range of answers.
What some customers would consider not enough information is too much for others. Striking the right balance for all customers can be a lot of work, and a one-size-fits-all answer is rarely the best. One possible solution is to provide enough detail on invoices to avoid questions and then provide separate reports with more detail as and when required. The point of this method is two-fold. Firstly, it enables you to create accurate but uncomplicated invoices that get you paid quickly. Secondly, it provides enough detail to the customer for them to know their IT systems are being managed properly, as well as ensuring you meet your compliance requirements.
Most RMM and PSA solutions have some facility for automating weekly or monthly reporting. Even if your RMM or PSA does not, compiling these reports should be part of your managed services processes. Therefore, the costs for doing so should be included in your monthly fees. But why should you do them at all if your customers do not ask for them?
This question is most often asked by people who are just getting started in the managed services business. When you did break/fix, your "work product" was easily identified in your billable hours. With managed services, you no longer have that evidence because, in most cases, you are not billing for time. The other, and perhaps more important, reason is compliance and audits. The thing about compliance and audits is that you never know when you might need this data. In addition, but less frequently, certain legal actions may require this information. So your reporting serves as evidence of work product, reporting for compliance, and evidence required for legal discovery when necessary.
I have one further point regarding work product. The better you are as an MSP, the less obvious your work in the background is to the customer. Reporting guarantees that your customer has access to detailed information about what you are doing to make things run so smoothly. This cannot be understated, as it speaks to your value as an MSP and serves to justify the fees you charge. A good MSP has no problem showing the value of their services either through the activity they are doing behind the scenes or the proactive monitoring/management that occurs on behalf of the customer.
Here are some suggestions:
This list is not intended to be exhaustive but just covers the basics. Your customer may have specific requirements. If they do and those reports require manual compilation, then make sure you include the proper costs for pulling those reports together into your pricing calculations.
This depends on your customer. At minimum, it should be your primary contact and whoever pays the invoices. This way, the person most people in their organization will come to has the information. Also, the person who pays the invoices will have access to more detail if they have questions about your invoices without coming to you and possibly delaying payment. In addition, larger organizations may have specific roles that require reporting as well. Some examples are compliance officers, security heads, and IT management personnel.
At the end of the day, reporting is not required for all customers, but it will help you avoid confusion and conversations about proving your value and defending your pricing. The intangible benefits of reporting come down to maintaining a good relationship with your customer through communicating the work and services you are providing on their behalf.
In my experience, most vendor/customer issues (and relationship issues in general) come down to a lack of communication. Reporting helps to maintain effective communication on a consistent basis, and in the worst cases, when your services come into question, provides evidence that you did your job.

School Council
School Council 2016-2017
At Bonneville, we place great importance on giving children the opportunity to develop a wide range of inter-personal skills. This is often done by giving pupils positions of responsibility within our school. One such example is School Council. This is made up of 2 children from each class in Key Stage 2 elected by their peers at the beginning of each school year.
School Council meets on a regular basis each term and the children are encouraged to share and develop ideas and identify priorities to help improve the outcomes and experiences of the pupils in our school. Those elected are the representatives of their classmates and the 'student voice' for the children at Bonneville. They are encouraged to communicate the ideas and opinions of the other children and share these with staff members to help drive the school forward.
This may involve making improvements to the school environment; fundraising to help a charity or to buy equipment, or running campaigns in school, highlighting key issues of importance to the children, such as internet safety or road safety awareness.
Our school counsellors take their responsibilites very seriously and are great role models for the other children throughout the school. Their opinions and ideas are hugely important to the life of Bonneville and help us to improve the experiences and running of our school each term.
So far this year, School Council have been working with our school lunch catering company, Caterlink and our catering staff to discuss their views on the types of food being offered in the dining hall each day. The children have made a display highlighting healthy food options and this is now proudly hanging in the dining hall! In addition, School Council in conjunction with Miss Heffernan and Mr Connelly, will be reviewing Bonneville's Healthy Food Policy.
Pupils have also designed a questionnaire which children have completed across the school, asking for their ideas and opinions on how they feel about Bonneville at present. The answers from this are being collated by Miss Parker as we speak!
More recently, School Council have met with our Chair of Governors about some of the recent changes to our school environment including our new reception area and our brand new ICT suite. The feedback they gave was very positive indeed.
The children are currently preparing for an e-safety assembly and are planning ideas for this over the next few weeks.

On June 7th, the new S 2 took part in a 'Show Racism The Red Card Event', which was organised by East Lothian Council. The event coincided with National Sports Week , as well as the Anti – racism Day planned for Friday 10th June in PLHS.
Pupils were firstly asked to define racism. There were many excellent answers to this. The group then watched a documentary which used football to highlight how common, and destructive, racism is . The film included many prominent footballers, including Craig Levein, the Scotland football manager , and members of Hearts, Rangers, Celtic, Man U and Hibernian, all who spoke out strongly against racism. The most moving partof the film was a 13 year old Scottish boy – a talented footballer – who was about to give up playing because he faced racial abuse every time he played a game.
Two ex- footballers – Mickey Weir of Hibs and Derek Ferguson – then asnswered questions about racism in football : what they felt caused racism, what the impact of racism is on people and what we can do to stamp out racism. Both ex- players were very impressed by the quality of the questions asked by the pupils.
Comments were also made about how well behaved pupils were and how they listened attentively to what was being said. Let's hope that PLHS pupils will help make a difference by challenging ,and not accepting, racism.
Thanks to Mr Johnstone and Mrs Christie in PE for their help.

#isafsantander – The game will be wide open in the Laser and Laser Radial at the Santander 2014 ISAF Sailing World Championship with large numbers gunning for World Championship glory and a Rio 2016 Olympic place. Ireland takes its place on the Laser start line with newly crowned national champion James Espey and Finn Lynch seeking Rio qualification while Annalise Murphy is aiming for Laser Radial qualification in just under two weeks time.
Seventy two nations featuring 150 sailors will compete in the Laser fleet whilst 58 nations will sail in the 120-boat Laser Radial fleet. Both fleets will kick start racing in Santander on Friday 12 September.
Santander 2014 acts as the first qualification regatta for the Rio 2016 Olympic Sailing Competition. Twenty three Laser and 19 Laser Radial nation spots are there for the taking which will make for tight and fierce competition on the Bay of Biscay.
Brazil's Robert Scheidt heads to Santander as the defending champion having taken his ninth Laser world title at the 2013 class World Championship in Al Mussanah, Oman. Since returning to the Laser in March 2013 Scheidt has picked up where he left off, racing at the front of the pack.
Throughout the 2013-2014 ISAF Sailing World Cup series Scheidt has continually been at the top of the leaderboard with silver in Miami, a ninth in Mallorca and a fourth in Hyeres to his name. With a tenth Laser world title in sight the Brazilian is excited to head onto the Santander race track, "It's going to be a huge regatta and I've never sailed there but I've heard it's very challenging with different courses with different conditions so I'm really looking forward to it.
"We know it's not going to be easy. The Laser is a very tough and demanding boat and there are a lot of good guys at the moment pushing very hard. I think I'll have my chances so I'll go there and play the game."
For the Brazilian sailors across the ten Olympic fleets the pressure to qualify for Rio 2016 is off with the host nation automatically receiving one spot in each event. For the Brazilian Laser sailors, Scheidt, Bruno Fontes and Alex Veeren it is a weight off their shoulders with all efforts and focus channelled towards top finishes, "We don't have to make a good result at the worlds but at the end of the day when you go to a regatta you always go to try and win regardless of the qualification system. A lot of the good guys already know that they're going to take a spot and do the best they can," concluded Scheidt.
Australia's Tom Burton heads into Santander as the man in form and the one to beat. Burton has amassed three consecutive race victories in highly competitive fields. He took ISAF Sailing World Cup Mallorca and Hyeres gold before winning on Rio 2016 Olympic waters at the first test event, Aquece Rio International Sailing Regatta 2014 in August.
After a ninth at the last World Championship Burton has his eyes on the prize in the Spanish city, "Going into Oman the goal was to win the Worlds and I was pretty disappointed with how I went and the result there. Santander, definitely, I want to win the worlds. A few years back I was thinking, 'yeah win the worlds that would be pretty good', I was young and time is moving on so it's now time to start winning."
Burton has five World Championship appearances under his belt, building up knowledge and experience and he knows that in the competitive field anyone, on their day, can strike gold, "Robert will always be tough to beat at the worlds. For myself the worlds is a step up and only happens once a year so it's tough to get the experience of that atmosphere but Robert's been there so many times, won it so many times it's probably a little bit more chilled for him.
"Tonci's [Stipanovic (CRO)] been the most on form this season and I think he's got his Olympic trials there so he's putting in a bit more effort into it. The usual guys will be up there. Tonci, Robert, Rutger [Van Schaardenburg (NED)] and the Kiwis but it depends who's on form throughout the week. Anyone in the top 20 in the world could be really having a good week and be at the front."
All of the world's top 25 sailors in the Laser will sail in Santander with World #1 Stipanovic, World #2 Nick Thompson (GBR) and World #3 Pavlos Kontides (CYP) coming in with good form and aiming to take gold.
Competition in the 120 boat Laser Radial fleet will be fierce with any sailor who brings their A-game capable of taking gold.
Throughout the 2013-2014 ISAF Sailing World Cup series there were separate winners' at all five regattas. Dongshuang Zhang (CHN) took gold on her home waters in Qingdao, Tatiana Drozdovskaya (BLR) claimed the Melbourne honours, Paige Railey (USA) defended her Miami title, Marit Bouwmeester (NED) dominated the Mallorca field and Evi Van Acker (BEL) stormed to Hyeres gold.
All will be in contention in Santander but several other contenders will be full to the brim with confidence and optimism ahead of racing inlcuding Ireland's Annalise, fourth in the 2012 Olympics and European champion in 2013.
Denmark's Anne-Marie Rindom has consistently been at the front of the pack in the Laser Radial over the last 12 months yet lacked a major title. Her breakthrough came at the Aquece Rio International Sailing Regatta 2014, the Rio 2016 Test Event, where she took gold in a world class field.
With Rio gold behind her Rindom is full of positivity going into Santander, "It's good to win before the World's next month," said the Dane after racing in Rio, "It's a good signal that you can sail at the Olympic venue.
"Top ten in Santander will be really good because then we will have funding for next year and that's the most important thing. Also it is important to get a national place for the Olympics, that will be really good but I'm also going for a medal now I know I can do it. I am looking forward to it."
At the Rio Test Event the Radial fleet were pushed to the max with big waves and plenty of breeze on the race courses outside of Guanabara Bay. The conditions were not too dissimilar to those expected on the race courses in Santander with the Bay of Biscay famous for big swell.
Ireland's Annalise Murphy thrived in the big conditions in Rio and goes into the ISAF Worlds eager, "I was in Santander training just before I came here [Rio Test Event] and it's a really nice place to sail. Again there's really big waves so maybe being here will help a little bit.
"I want to go and have a good event and qualify the country for the Olympics and try and race well. I'm looking forward to it, it's a big world championship and it's my goal of the year and I can't wait.
"If I can sail well and race well I want to try and be at the top of the fleet and kind of see how it goes. I've been pretty up and down this year but I'm going to try and do the simple stuff right and hopefully the results will come. It's going to be a really good event and really competitive."
Croatia's Tina Mihelic won gold at the 2013 Laser Radial World Championship in Rizhao, China and will aim to defend her title in Santander. Further contenders for the podium positions will be 2014 European Champion Svenja Weger (GER), Alison Young (GBR) and World #6 Tuula Tenkanen (FIN).
The Laser and Laser Radial fleets will be the first to commence racing in Santander and will take to the water on Friday 12 September for two races. The Qualification Series will conclude on 13 September with four races deciding the gold, silver and bronze fleets.
Final series racing will start on 14 September with 15 September a reserve day. Tuesday 16 and Wednesday 17 will see the Medal Race places decided before the finale on Thursday 18 September where the medallists will be decided.

The photo above appeared on Facebook recently. It is a photo of the Þrídrangar lighthouse (pronounciation unknown) in Iceland. According to Timothy Harrison, lighthouse historian and Editor in Chief of Lighthouse Digest magazine, the photo was first posted on I heart Reykjavík on Facebook. There they say:
How would you like to be a lighthouse guard in this lighthouse? Þrídrangar are located 10km west of the Westman Islands and the lighthouse was built in 1939 (probably the most challenging lighthouse ever built in Iceland). I'm not sure I would visit even if I was offered it. Image via www.sigling.is

I've been watching this series on TV, "Awake", and I noticed a parallel to some of my interactions with atheists and with believers. The show is about a police detective (Britten) who is in a wreck with his wife and son. Either his wife or his son die, depending on what reality he is in. After the wreck, when he goes to sleep in one reality where his wife died and son lived, he immediately wakes up in another reality, where the son died and his wife is alive. And when he goes to sleep again, he is back in the other reality.
Neither reality seems like a dream to him. The two realities are filmed with an orange or green tint to designate which reality he is in. He wears orange and green wristbands in each reality so he can keep the two straight. Then it gets really weird, because little things are different in each reality. And things that happen in one reality give him clues to things going on in the other reality. It may be a clue to help him solve a case, or a clue about how to connect better with his son.
What's been really interesting to watch, though, has been the two therapists he has in each reality. Both therapists assure him that he is awake in "their" reality and not dreaming. But both approach the "other reality" very differently. There's an article on the two therapists here.
In the "orange reality" where Britten's wife is alive, the therapist is Dr. Lee. Dr. Lee is intent on proving to Britten that the other reality is a dream, i.e., a fantasy. Many of his comments to Britten are along the lines of: "Isn't the more reasonable explanation that …" He tells Britten:
"You condition is the result of a deeply fractured psyche. It is a problem. It is not a tool."
He tells Britten that it is a problem that he is allowing his "dreams" to direct his real life because "the subconscious can be a highly unreliable witness." According to Dr. Lee:
"This fantasy is far from benign. While your brain should be resting, recharging, your subconscious is using it to uphold a detailed and complicated alternate reality. If we don't deal with that, the situation will eventually become unsustainable."
In contrast, in the "green reality", Britten's therapist, Dr. Evans, takes a very different approach. She sees the dreams, not as a problem, but as a tool. In contrast to Dr. Lee, Dr. Evans is not concerned with what's "real" and what's not. When Britten encounters the same young woman (Kate) in both realities who are in very different life situations, Dr. Evans tells Britten:
"I think what's more relevant than the question of which Kate is real, is why you are seeing her in the one world and reflecting her so differently in the other."
In other words, rather than trying to prove to Britten that the dream is false and her reality is real, Dr. Evans tries to get to the meaning of the dream. Mind you, she never treats the dream reality as "real" per se, but she does treat it as meaningful. In fact, she treats Britten's "dreams" as a boon. After telling her about how clues in the one reality helped him in the other, she tells him:
"My God, that is interesting. Do you know that the exact access to the unconscious mind that you are describing has been sought after since the beginning of civilization. The Greeks used to sleep in temple chambers hoping to receive insight from their dreams. Even philosophers and scientists have recorded incredible breakthroughs delivered to them while asleep.
"I think these kinds of connections between your worlds can be incredibly beneficial. I support a more active connection between your conscious and unconscious mind. I think it's going to aid you in uncovering and processing the source of your emotional issues."
My wife is a marriage and family therapist, and I asked her about this. I think she leans more in the direction of Dr. Lee's approach. She tries to give people what Dr. Phil calls "wake up calls", to show them that that they are doing is not really working for them. I'll call this "reality-focused" approach. But I wonder, when someone is caught in a "fantasy", is it effective to just tell them that what they experience as reality is not in fact reality (in the therapist's opinion)? I would prefer Dr. Evans' approach, which works from within the fantasy and tries to find its meaning. I'll call this a "meaning-centered" approach. My wife would respond, I suspect, that insight into the meaning of one's "reality" is all well and good, but it takes us nowhere unless there is a corresponding change in "reality", in behavior.
As I watched this, it occurred to me that my interaction with atheists and believers often mirrors the conversations that Detective Britten has with Dr. Lee and Dr. Evans respectively. When I speak to people who self-identify as atheist, or to Naturalistic Pagans who emphasize heavily the naturalistic side of the Naturalistic-Paganism equation, I feel very much like I am talking to Dr. Lee. The conversation centers around the question of "what is real?" And, for them, what is not "real" is fantasy and is, as Dr. Lee says, "far from benign".
On the other hand, when I speak to people who do not self-identify as atheists (I'll call them "believers"), or to Naturalistic Pagans who give more emphasis to the pagan side of the Naturalistic-Paganism equation, then I feel like I am having a conversation with Dr. Evans. And I have to admit that I feel much more at home in that conversation, where the concern is not "what is real", but "what does that mean?" I don't think the shows writers want to make either therapist's approach more appealing. But I am strongly drawn to Dr. Evans' approach.
I feel like the reality-focused approach is caught up trying to prove whose version of reality is "real" and misses what I consider the point … the meaning of our experience. What is point of striving to strip all "fantasy" from our lives, if in the process we also strip all meaning from it? Now, before those reality-focused types reading this get riled up, I am not equating fantasy with meaning, and I am not saying that a reality-focused experience is not meaningful. What I am saying s that, when I am having a conversation with a reality-focused type person, I just find myself wondering what the point is.

Bridgeland Calgary Community Profile
Bridgeland is a northeast inner city community in Calgary found roughly east of Edmonton Trail, west of Deerfoot Trail, south of 7th Avenue NE and north of the Bow River.
As with most other Calgary inner city neighbourhoods, you will find many new infill properties and new condominium developments within the community.
The community was established over a century ago in 1914. The age of these residences and the need for redevelopment has given way to several new infill projects which have rejuvenated the neighbourhood into a family-friendly inner city living destination.
Surrounding the neighbourhood are three different north, east and west escarpments which separate it from its neighbouring communities of Crescent Heights and Renfrew. A few minutes south is the Bow River, Calgary Zoo, East Village, St. Patrick's Island, Chinatown and the downtown business core.

A Commentary on the Passing Scene by Robert Paul Wolff firstname.lastname@example.com
I am not sure I understand the first part of your argument (although the slave gang example in Southern plantations is very clear and illustrates the lack of continuity very well), but I think we may have a little problem here:
"To say that the production function is continuous, and therefore differentiable, is to say that if you hold all but one of a set of possible inputs constant, and increase the remaining input a little bit, the maximum amount of wheat producible with this slightly altered set of inputs will also be a little bit bigger".
Or here
"In order for economists to use Euler's Theorem and all the other really nifty stuff they hijacked from elementary calculus, they have to assume that the production functions they are working with are continuous, and hence partially differentiable."
In reality, a function F(x) may be both (A) continuous in x[0], and (B) not differentiable there.
For instance, let F be the function from R -> ]-oo, 1]
F(x) = if(x < 1, x, 1)
F(x) is continuous for all x and hence is continuous for x[0] = 1, but F(x) is not differentiable there: to the left of x[0] = 1, the derivative is 1; to the right, it is 0.
In other words, if a function is differentiable (over all its domain) it must be continuous (over all its domain); the reciprocal, however, need not be true.
(And, well, the derivative of a production function needs to be non-negative at least for a series of values.)
It goes without saying that if a function is not continuous for x[0], then it is not differentiable there, which is what we are interested here and what the gang example illustrates.
Actually, after sending the comment, I am wondering: am I making any sense?
The concepts are useful , but discontinuous in some part. Tarpaulins | Poly Tarpaulins

Canadiens general manager Pierre Gauthier announced today the acquisition of goaltender Karri Ramo from the Tampa Bay Lightning, in return for netminder Cédrick Desjardins.
Ramo, 24, suited up for 44 games with Omsk in the Kontinental Hockey League in 2009-10, posting a record of 21 wins, 17 losses, 4 overtime losses, a 2.11 goals against average and a .913 save percentage. He tied for 6th in the league in goals against average, and was also tied for 4th with four shutouts.
A native of Asikkala, Finland, Ramo played in 125 professional games in North America between the age of 20 and 23. Selected in the sixth round, 191st overall by Tampa Bay in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft, he played 48 NHL career regular season games with the Lightning between 2006 and 2009, posting an 11-21-10 record, a 3.35 goals against average and a .895 save percentage. The 6'2'', 201 lbs netminder also participated in 77 games in the American Hockey League with Springfield and Norfolk.
Cédrick Desjardins joined the Canadiens as a free agent on July 3, 2008. He played a total of 90 games with the AHL Hamilton Bulldogs during the past four seasons, posting a 59-27-5 record, a 2.64 goals against average and a .901 save percentage. The Edmundston, N.B. native also played 67 games with the ECHL Cincinnati Cyclones, winning the Kelly Cup in 2008.

Change Layer Combo Control Bar width in AutoCAD
Over the past year, I have had several questions come up on how to make the original size of the layer combo control bar a little longer. There is more to it than just making it longer on the Ribbon. Many people place this bar on the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) as shown in Figure 1. If you do not know how to add this to the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) simply perform a right-click on the layer combo control on the Home Tab – Layers Panel on the Ribbon and select add to Quick Access Toolbar. Once added you will see the bar as shown below.
Figure 1: Layer Combo Control on QAT
Now that we have the Layer Combo Control bar in the QAT we want change the default width to see those long layer names that are current.
Let's go into the CUI and make a quick edit. Type CUI at the command prompt.
- Uncheck the Quick Access toolbar to pull down the menu
- Select Layer Combo Control.
- Change the value from the default value of 208 to 320 (I am using AutoCAD 2016).
- Hit apply and OK to get out and watch how your Layer Combo has changed.
Figure 2: Layer Combo Control in CUI
The final result should look something like Figure 3 as shown below. I made a long layer name as shown. Keep in mind since AutoCAD 2014 when you pull down the layer combo box the width will expand to your longest layer name. I do not recommend long layer names, keep consistent with industry standards and use 4 letters to abbreviate long strings. The type of monitor you have can affect this setting as well, change the number to best suit your setup and remember you can always put it back to default by entering 208 in the minimum width column.
Figure 3: The final version
How cool is that!
On a final note, I am proud to accept an invitation to become a member of the Expert Elite Program at Autodesk. All of the tips, tricks, and items posted are derived from personal experience through work, collaborating with my peers, and blogs I have followed over the years. I have always been very busy with my work and tried to find new ways to decrease my picks and clicks to become more efficient with AutoCAD. I share what I know and always have a great feeling when I help someone solve a problem with CAD. It helps me grow as a CAD designer and respected individual in the community.
Look me up at Autodesk University 2014 and on the knowledge network at Screencast as I will be providing updates on my proposals to teach again as well as some of my favorite tips and tricks I have collected over the years. I hope to meet new friends and see some old ones in December 2015 at Autodesk University.
Until next month…..Sam
Video tutorial added to this section for a visual description on how to make the combo control bar longer.
Excellent post. I was checking continuously this weblog and I am impressed!
Extremely useful information specifically the remaining phase :
) I handle such info a lot. I was seeking this certain info for a long time.
Thanks and best of luck.
Huda permalink
I'm familiar with this setting and must say that it's a life saver:)
Do you, by any chance, know how to change the width of Named View control/list. Am I missing something in CUI window???

The Differentiated Instruction and Response to Intervention Connection
The Differentiated Instruction and Response to Intervention Connection
Credit Hours:
Credit Type:
Today's teachers are using two powerful approaches-Differentiated Instruction (DI) and Response to Intervention (RTI)-to help every child succeed academically. In this course, you'll learn how to put this "dynamic duo" to work in your own classroom teaching and lesson plans.
You'll start by exploring different learning styles and delving into a concept called multiple intelligences. In addition, you'll look at the factors that motivate students to learn in a child-centered classroom.
After that, you'll master the basics of both DI and RTI and learn how these two approaches work hand-in-hand to enhance children's learning. You'll find out how to perform different types of assessments, monitor your students' progress, select research-based teaching materials, address learners' diverse needs, and move students up or down the RTI tiers so they're getting just the right help they need.
In addition, you'll find out why collaboration is crucial when you're implementing RTI and DI. You'll discover how you and your colleagues will work together as a team to identify at-risk students, plan solutions, and address problems quickly and efficiently. And finally, you'll learn how to get parents involved as active partners in the education process.
Case studies and examples will help you see how DI and RTI strategies work in the real world, and you'll get lots of ideas for hands-on activities you can start using right away in your own classroom. Throughout this course, you'll have opportunities to practice new techniques and exchange ideas with fellow educators and your instructor. You'll come away armed with powerful and easy-to-implement strategies that will benefit every student you teach.

Australias leading support, treatment and research facility for anxiety and emotional disorders, the Centre for Emotional Health at Macquarie University, is trialing a new treatment for childhood dog and spider phobias. This treatment approach could dramatically improve how psychologists treat anxiety disorders.
The trial combines the antibiotic D-Cycloserine (DCS), a safe medicine used by doctors to fight infections, with exposure therapy in the treatment of phobic children. DCS is believed to help the children remember not to be scared of something they previously feared. This study is one of the first in the world to trial DCS for this purpose.
Exposure therapy used in the trial involves helping the child to calmly get used to being around real dogs or spiders. This allows the child to gradually face their fear and learn new non-fearful associations with the phobic object. While the therapy is widely regarded as an effective treatment by psychologists, there are many instances where it is not successful.
Macquarie University researcher Simon Byrne, who leads the research trial said: Some children will not improve with exposure therapy alone, so new and more effective treatments need to be developed to help anxious kids get better.
DCS has been shown to improve the chances of a faster and complete recovery when given just before an exposure session. The medication is very safe, as it is like taking a single low dose of an antibiotic, he said.
Phobias are a common form of childhood anxiety. A fear of spiders and dogs are two of the most common childhood phobias. In severe cases, these phobias can cause significant interference in a childs life. For example, a child who is dog phobic may be unable to play with friends who have pet dogs. This could impact on their development of friendships or on their social skills more generally.
Byrne also outlined that phobias can heavily impact families and home life.
A child who is fearful of dogs, for example, may be too afraid to walk down a street where they once saw a dog. Or a child who is very frightened of spiders may be unable to fall asleep in their bedroom at night, he said.
The new trial is being conducted at Macquaries Universitys Centre for Emotional Health. Researchers at the University are currently calling for 20 additional children with spider and dog phobias to participate in the study.
Parents who have a child aged between six and 14 years who is fearful of spiders or dogs are invited to join the study. Treatment is fast, effective and free for participants.

I have held more than 50 events for groups of 300-600 business owners over the last 11 years. During that time I have hired many speakers, a lot of them being top names in the business. My group loved Sarah so much I almost got sick of hearing it. Bottom line, if you have a chance to book Sarah for your event - do it before someone else does. If you are on the fence about using Sarah or someone else like I was for your group or event, feel free to call or email me. I would be glad to tell you in more detail why going with Sarah is a big win all around.
Hi ladies,
I thought I'd share how much different 2013 was, because of you! My average portrait sales almost tripled! I am now getting an average of $3,000 a sale.
My largest sale has been $11,000. We doubled the amount of portrait sessions we did this year compared to the year before. We were able to break a quarter million in our fifth year of business. I absolutely credit my sales training for the majority of these successes! Every person I have the opportunity of telling my story to, I sing praises to your trainings. I can't thank you enough for the energy your team puts in to the training and products that you share with our industry.
I am beyond motivated and excited at what we can produce in 2015. I feel equipped and empowered with the tools you have given me. I haven't seen an ordering session yet where I can't come up with the answer that makes the sale.
Thanks again!
I have been doing photography for 17 years. This spring, I didn't have any money in my account. I saw an email from Sarah Petty that got me hooked and she talked about sales. I knew sales were one of my weaknesses so I really paid attention to the email.
So when she said she was having a sales course I knew I had to take it, then I found out the price and I didn't think I could afford it.
Then I sat and thought about it; I knew it was now or never for my business and I signed up. I am so glad I did, it was the best thing I have ever done for my business. There were a few key things that I learned from Sarah.
The first one was, to demand an in person consultation before you do the session. I had not done that as I thought people were too busy to meet with me. But after I did, it was like night and day! It really helped me do all my homework before the final sale.
The other thing I learned from Sarah was to educate my clients. I did my homework and found out what their house looked like, and what their style was so when it came to the sales session I was ready and I could close it in 45 minutes to an hour.
I also learned about connecting with clients over the first phone call. That was a huge thing; I treated them like they were friends and family. I asked them questions about where they lived, I really made the connection.
I also learned the feel-felt-found method. These little suggestions were huge. Just little tricks. I have used this method through the sales presentation and it works. My clients started treating me with more respect and I gained more confidence overnight.
So when I had my big sale, I called Sarah and told her about it. The sale started at $28,000 and then they lowered it to $26,000. That was the biggest sale I had ever had in my business! I was prepared for the sale and confident. When they came in they were ready to spend. I credit Sarah's course for the success of this sale. Sarah IS worth every penny!
Thank you very much Sarah!
Dear Sarah,
I just wanted to write and thank you for coming to the MAP Getaway and sharing your time, expertise, and enthusiasm. You are helping so many photographers find their way as you inspires, empower, and energize. I loved your closing talk about the rock climbing wall and I keeping thinking about that foothold.
You are a wonderful storyteller and encourage me to write my story and to learn to tell it with joy.
Thank you!
Wow! Thank you Sarah Petty and PSS! I recently closed a $25,000 sale from a family; I was very excited, the highest sale I had before that was $15,000! Your class Photography Selling System was worth every penny!
Thanks again,
Dear Sarah,
It was a great honor to meet you and learn from you at the Marathon Press MAP Getaway! Thank you for taking the time away from your family and busy life to share with us. I am always inspired after listening to your marketing wisdom! Please thank Erin as well!
Dear Sarah and Erin,
Thank you so much for your presentation at Marathon Press MAP Getaway. Your program was very well organized, professional, full of important content and very entertaining. You are a gem in our industry, helping to inform, inspire and motivate professional photographers to be successful. Thanks for sharing!
A few months ago before starting the Photography Selling System we spoke about what makes me different. It has started to pay off. I took a client through my service start to finish. The session, picking the image for their piece, help them frame it and hang it. They loved it so much they are ordering two more wall portraits. I cannot thank you and Sarah enough, the classes have been priceless.
"APPRECIATED the marketing information! I particularly like seeing how one can make graphs of info for marketing objectives in a calendar placed against a sales summary graph of the year. I also found helpful the boxed diagram showing how one's promotional plan nests inside of the marketing mix nesting inside of the marketing plan nesting inside of the business plan. Very logical and grounding for me. I am an example of a business owner relocating from high high rent in a shopping plaza in coastal California to a much lower rent, fun, funky space in a high trafficked corner location less than a mile away. Now we are in a "village" atmosphere with a rent reduction of 60%. Our business plan has been modified and refined and Sarah's monthly marketing guidance is extremely helpful in focusing my concentration. Again, thank you. I look forward to the experience of this entire year!
I just wanted to let Sarah and her team know how thrilled I was to receive my monthly marketing program kit. You really practice what you preach. The packaging and presentation was incredible. I seriously got a big lump in my throat I was so happy. There were so many goodies! I just got an account with Wild Sorbet and thought the discount card was awesome. I have been in business for 25 yrs. and find I am finally getting the missing(the marketing) part of my photography business. Thank you for sharing all your pearls of wisdom.
"Thank you so much for your amazing input yesterday. Honestly, I thought "Why did I impulsively set up this consultation? Do I really need this?" OMG! Yes! You were just what I needed; and, I really appreciate your expertise in an area where I am so weak. I am reviewing our talk and making plans and notes. I will be watching the video when I get to civilization this weekend and am excited to be on a path toward finalizing my logo design. Your generous sharing (thank you again for all the extras) and wealth of knowledge combine to make you an amazing talent and I appreciate your being there for me. I am looking forward to a continued relationship with you and Joy of Marketing!"
"Pricing critique was truly AWESOME! I more than doubled my sales with the help of Sarah's monthly marketing program."
"Thanks for continuing to add content and value to the mailings. Definitely the best education investment I've made this past year!"
"I just wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you for all that you do and for your wonderful free online marketing events. Wow! I loved everything. You have given me hope that I can save my business and take it to a level it has never been before. I was ready to close my doors at my studio that I have had for over 6 yrs now. I had no idea what I was getting into when I decided to go into business for myself and now I am paying for it and having to back track so I can run my business the way it truly needs to be. Because of your awesomeness, education and motivation you have given me I feel that I am now ready to take it on and fight harder than ever to get where I want to be in my career and business. You are truly an inspiration to me as well as many, many other photographers.
I must admit... I was reluctant to join! I am SO happy that I did, this week I have ideas flowing and good thing I now carry at notepad with me to jot those ideas down!
"Thank you! You guys always find a way to switch my head into gear when it comes to marketing. So glad that I found your Joy of Marketing site. It's like having a business coach on call 24/7!
"I would like to add since I am just days from completing the Photography Marketing Formula program, that there is no one else out there that offers a program like this (at least not that I am aware of and I have done a lot of researching for something like this) nor is there anyone else out there with the same background as Sarah Petty, that can offer what she offers with that kind of expertise she has. Sarah carries knowledge and expertise that I would have never learned on my own or through anywhere else no matter how long I studied these things. Well, unless I decided to go for an MBA, work many years in advertising and then take many more years to perfect what she had definitely perfected. Hmmm...or invest in PMF and learn from the best! So why do I take the time to write a whole post about PMF and Sarah, you ask? First, because I have invested in PMF and I have downloaded everything, read everything, listened to every recording, watched every video, showed up for every call, and I have done all the work; and I can tell you personally that it is an amazing program that will work! There is just no way it won't if you follow the whole program."
"So I had my first sales session on Saturday morning that I followed Sarah's photography selling system to a T. I designed all my products first. I had my number I wanted to meet. I maintained control of the session, made the emotional connection and ended up with a $1,250 sale. Whoohoo!! I just feel so good about myself. I'm seeing that I can TOTALLY do this!"
"Without your guidance on marketing and selling, I would never have picked up the phone and called one of my biggest spending clients and tell her that I was booked for the holidays, but was holding a spot for her in case she wanted to sneak in and have some portraits done of her now 2 year old. Yes, I did just do that. Thanks to you I have an extra $3K in my pocket just for making the phone call."
"I Just wanted to drop you guys a quick note to say THANK YOU! I was lucky enough to get one of the free 15 minute slots with Sarah last month and it has changed everything for me. Following her suggestions I purchased a projector and have been doing all my selling in person. My sales doubled and then tripled, I was dreaming of hitting a $1,200 sale and instead got a $2,800 sale!
"Okay you guys, gotta shine a little...after a couple of discouraging weeks, I just took in, paid in full, a $7,100 print order, that is pre-tax total. That is a new record sale for us! Thanks to your photography selling system!"
"If that watching and light bulb moment have set this up - WHOOOOOO! My second biggest sale ever, just now, $4,885. LOVE IT! Thank you for coaching me and teaching me how to sell more photography!"
"$4,594...Sarah, you are a GURU! My average photography sale before this was $1,500. You taught me how to sell photography. LOVE your Photography Selling System!"
How silly, stupid, good is that" (referring to Sarah's monthly marketing program).
L O V E this month mailing!!!! This one is so useful in so many different capacities! As referenced on the recording, drop in images from the last portrait session, print them out on a large format printer, and give them with the order. The client will totally self-promote! This is genius – no wonder you guys make the big-bucks!!!!

After years of wanting a mini pickup, a milestone birthday looming this year seemed the perfect excuse to start the search for one. Couldn't decide between an Mot'd truck or project, and decided it would be worth doing a project to ensure that I know exactly what sits under the shiny paintwork.
Search began in December, bid on a couple on eBay, and viewed one on carandclassic which needed work, but reasonably solid and an asking price of £4500 with a little negotiation. Thought that was possibly a little high for me given it would still need panels, respray, etc.
Found out about one fairly close by which had been off the road for about 12 years, the majority of which in dry storage, but the 12 months or so outside. Obviously had a lot of time and effort spent on it back in the late 90s, and attended a number of shows including the 2005 IMM in Spain. Fortech style arches, groundhog front skirt, converted to later internal hinged doors, partly deseamed and a host of other mods not quite what I would do, but liked the back story and it was just as good base as the couple of eBay projects I bid on. Price was agreed, and collected the pickup yesterday.
Couple of pictures as it is now from collecting it last night (night pictures not the clearest):
Some from back in the day - probably around 2000ish, and also at the IMM in Spain:
Plans are a full rebuild starting with a stripping it back to bare shell, and moving it on to a roll over jig to make life a bit easier. Wides arches etc will be going, and it will be back to standard looking with 10s (would love some Spectrums). Colour wise not too sure at the moment, but plenty of time to decide.

BMW 3-series 2006-2011: N52 vs N54 engines, problems, pros and cons
Not many cars can match the style and driving experience of the BMW 3-series. It's a small sporty car with a strong engine riding on a classic rear-wheel drive platform. The fifth-generation 3-series comes as a rear- or all-wheel drive sedan (E90), wagon (E92), coupe (E92) or a rear-wheel drive-only convertible (E93).
2007 BMW 3-series interior.
All body styles are available with a manual transmission. The 3-series interior is sporty-tight and nicely-finished. Front seats are very comfortable on long trips.
Crash-test ratings are pretty good.
Overall, it's a well-built car, but ownership costs could be expensive. Is this a good reason to pass on this ultimate driving machine? Which engine is more reliable? Let's look closely.
Model line-up: For the 2006 model year, the U.S. 3-series line-up consisted of the 325i and performance-oriented 330i sedan and wagon; the coupe and the convertible carried over from the previous generation (E46). For 2007, the 325i and 330i were replaced by 328i and twin-turbo 335i and a fifth-generation coupe and convertible were added. The 335d turbo-diesel was added for 2009. Out of curiosity we checked the European market. The most widely available E90 model in the UK and Germany is the 320d with a 2.0L diesel engine and manual transmission. Read also: Pros and cons of buying a car with a turbocharger
2007 BMW 3-series inline-6 N52 engine.
N52 Engine: The North-American 323 (Canada only), 325, 328 and 330 models come with the N52 inline-6 DOHC engine. The Canadian 323i has the 2.5L version (N52B25), while the 325i, 328i and 330i models come with different versions of the 3.0L N52B30 engine (UL, M1 and OL respectively).
The N52 is a lightweight high-tech motor with 4 valves per cylinder, variable intake valve lift and variable timing. Its aluminum cylinder block is incased into a magnesium shell. It comes with hollow camshafts and an electric water pump. This engine has a maintenance-free timing chain; there is no timing belt. Overall it's a solid performer.
The difference in horsepower between models is achieved by different compression ratio, intake manifold design and computer tuning. The 2006 BMW 325i (215 hp) and the 2007-2011 BMW 328i (230 hp) have a single-stage intake, while the 2006 BMW 330i (255 hp) comes a the 3-stage DISA intake manifold. Does this mean that you can add more power to 325i or 328i by upgrading to a 3-stage intake and re-flashing the engine computer? Read more below.

N54 Engine: The 306-hp 3.0L direct-injected inline-6 DOHC N54 powers the high-performance BMW 335i for 2007-2010 model years. The N54 has a pair of small low-boost (8.8 psi) turbocharges, each powered by three cylinders (123 and 456).
Fuel is injected directly into cylinders by high-pressure piezo fuel injectors. Due to its complex design, the N54 could be expensive to maintain when out of warranty, but it has a lot more power. The stock 335i can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in around 5 seconds. Read also: Pros and cons of buying a car with Direct Injection.
Fuel Economy: The diesel-powered 335d is very fuel-efficient (36 mpg or 6.5 L/100 km on the highway for the 2009, 2010 model) and can get up to 435 miles to a tank, however, it's rare on the used car market. The two most common U.S. models, the 328i and 335i (2010 model year) get 18/28 and 17/26 mpg city/highway respectively on premium gasoline.
Problems: The electronic steering lock is one of the trouble areas mostly in the 2006 and some 2007 models. Initially the yellow or red steering lock warning light might come on and the steering lock can take some time to unlock intermittently. Eventually, the lock mechanism may fail completely, preventing the car from starting. BMW's recommended repair involves replacement of the steering column, which could be costly ($1,200-$1,500). Plenty of repair information is available online. Some owners reported that reprogramming solved the issue. Try googling ELV E90 repair.
Faulty exhaust-side hydraulic valve lifters (HVA) can cause a ticking noise after the engine is warmed up in some 2006-2008 models with the N52 engine. Some owners reported the noise temporarily disappeared after a long highway drive or switching to a different type of engine oil. As per one of the BMW service bulletins (SIB), the 12 exhaust side lifters must be replaced with updated parts ($1,200-$2,000 repair).

In some cases the cylinder head also had to be replaced to completely resolve the problem. This post provides some more info. Some owners choose to live with the problem rather than spend money on repairs.
A failed electric water pump can cause overheating. Another symptom could be the radiator fan staying on at high speed for a long time. This repair should be done as soon as possible, as overheating can cause more engine problems down the road. Usually a thermostat is recommended to be replaced along with the water pump. The repair could cost from $800 for a water pump only to $1200-$1800 with the thermostat.
Oil leaks are very common. The most often reported source is the valve cover gasket ($550-700), and the oil filter housing gasket ($370-$600). Transmission pan and the connector sleeve may leak too.
A failed ignition coil may cause the engine to misfire and run rough. Ignition coil replacement is not very expensive. If the spark plugs haven't been replaced in a while, it might be a good idea to replace the spark plugs too.
In the N54 engine, the high pressure fuel pump is a commonly mentioned problem. Symptoms include long starting time (long crank), reduced engine power and Service Engine Soon light. However, there was a recall in 2010 and according to some sources, the warranty has been extended. Read this post. This page on BMW USA website allows you to check for recalls. Issues with turbochargers and wastegates are mentioned frequently.
Sticky door handles are often mentioned. Some owners report that sticky door handles can be resolved by lubricating them. Watch this video.
A failing blower fan motor can produce a squeaking noise. Some owners were able to get rid of the problem by lubricating the motor bearings (see this post), but in many cases the heater fan motor had to be replaced ($550-650). It's not a very difficult job. Here is the thread at E90post.com
A blown fuse can cause the power lock function to stop working, although in many cases, it could be caused by a failing door lock actuator that will need to be replaced. See also: How to test a fuse in a car. Read this thread for more info.
Other issues include faulty VANOS solenoids, leaking headlight washer jets, cracked rubber cooling system hoses and suspension bushings, faulty window regulators.
2011 BMW Frozen Black Edition M3 Coupe. One of only 20 sold in the U.S. Photo: BMW.
BMW M3: For the 2006, the E46 M3 carried over. The 4-th generation E9x M3 became available for 2008, as a sedan, coupe or convertible. The M3 has rear-wheel drive and comes with a naturally-aspirated 414-hp 4.0L V8 S65 engine. The 0 to 60 mph time is around 4.5 seconds. The M3 comes with a 6-speed manual or 7-speed dual clutch automatic transmission.
It might be difficult to find a used M3 in an "old-lady-driven" condition and it won't be cheap: at the time we did our research for this review, the average price in the U.S. for a 5-year old M3 was around $39,000.
How well does the used 3-series BMW hold its value?
BMW depreciation chart
We have researched U.S. prices and it looks like the biggest drop in the value of the 3-series BMW happens in the first four years of ownership (see the chart). This means that you will lose less money in depreciation if you buy a 4-5 year old or older Bimmer. While the new BMW 3-series MSRP is in the $40,000-50,000 range, an average retail price for a 9-year old used vehicle is around $11,600.
Pros: Styling, excellent handling, comfortable ride, strong engine, rich interior, condition-based maintenance remainder, variety of available mods and enthusiast support, plenty of owner forums and do-it-yourself information.
Cons: Requires premium gasoline, expensive to maintain, potentially-costly problems, tight interior space, run-flat tires, no spare tire.
Overall: It's no secret that a used BMW will be more expensive to maintain than a Honda or Toyota, which means you have to have spare cash available. Buying an aftermarket extended warranty with good coverage is an option. The twin-turbo 335i will need more expensive repairs in the long run, while the 2009-plus 328i is a more sensible choice. As of February 2020 Consumer Reports rates the 2006-2011 3-series poorly for reliability, mostly for engine and cooling system problems. A repair shop that specializes in BMW is your best option for servicing. If you like working on your car, finding DIY information won't be a problem, thanks to many BMW enthusiasts.
Overall, the 3-series is an excellent car to drive. If you know what to expect and are ready to deal with potentially expensive repairs, there is no other reason why they should be overlooked. We strongly recommend having the vehicle inspected by an independent dealer or BMW specialist before purchase. After an inspection, ask a mechanic what problems to expect in the future.
Related reviews:
What to look for when buying a used BMW 3-series: Check the service history if available. Has the steering column already been replaced? Any repairs to hydraulic valve lifters? Were the oil changes done regularly? Has the car been severely overheated? Avoid if yes. When inspecting the car on the lot: Any signs of an accident repairs? Do all the door handles, locks, windows, wipers work? Any warning lights? Any warning light has to be properly diagnosed and repaired before purchase, not just reset.
Is there burnt oil smell in the engine compartment (this is usually a sign of oil leaks).
During a test-drive: In the N52, the ticking noise at idle could be caused by a faulty lifter. In the N54, watch out for noisy turbochargers and wastegate rattles. There are several YouTube videos that demonstrate various types of noises. Test the manual shift mode of the automatic transmission, some owners report a problem with the tranny that prevents it from going into manual shift. Read more: Signs of problems to watch out for when test driving a used car.

3-stage intake upgrade for the 325/328: This thread at E90Post provides a summary. This post describes the upgrade process and the results. This upgrade won't be cheap, but the results are interesting.
Run-flat tires vs conventional: The advantage of the Run-Flat tires is that they can be driven temporarily at limited speed even without pressure. However, cars equipped with run-flat tires have no spare tire.
There is an ongoing debate on run-flat vs. conventional tires, with many BMW owners complaining about the rough and noisy ride and replacement cost of run-flats. Some owners chose to switch to conventional tires. This post describes a clever way to store the spare tire and the jack in the trunk. The run-flat tires can be recognized by a snail-like symbol.
Maintenance: According to the 2008 3-series owner's manual, the 3-series requires High Performance Synthetic Oil; 5W-30 or 5W-40, depending on climatic conditions. BMW doesn't specify oil change intervals; instead, the Condition Based Service (CBS) shows current and future maintenance requirements on the Service Interval Display. There is a disagreement about whether to stick to CBS oil change intervals (around 15,000 miles for E90) or have the oil changes done more often. Some owners prefer changing oil at 7,500-10,000 miles, which seems more reasonable at higher mileage, especially considering that 2014 and newer BMW switched to 10,000-mile CBS intervals. In the N54 as in any turbocharged engine, oil is subjected to higher temperatures and degrades even faster.
BMW engines are known for oil consumption, which means the oil may need to be topped up once in a while. For this reason, it might be a good idea to keep a spare bottle of engine oil in the car.

We strongly believe, however, that today's global economy demands us to complement our strategy with tactical asset allocation that corresponds with the ever-changing environment we live in.
Broad Portfolio Diversification
An extensive portfolio diversification is essential to risk minimization; therefore, we strive to diversify on many different levels such as market capitalization, investment style, industry, region, and more.
Long-Term Perspective
Although we are very attentive to important economic and related events that may affect short-term investment outcomes, our goal, ultimately, is to focus on long-term results. This discipline and focus enhances portfolio stability and typically leads to stronger and more consistent investment performance over time.
Risk Management
We want to understand and identify our clients' tolerance for risk at all times and then take steps to minimize that risk while pursuing the investment objectives.
Diversification and asset allocation programs do not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets, and cannot guarantee that any objective or goal will be achieved.

SCHOFIELD BARRACKS — Hundreds of families turned out for the 2017 Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony, here, on Nov. 28, 2017.
They listened to live music by the 25th Infantry Division Band, enjoyed free hot chocolate and cookies provided by Island Palm Communities, and lined up to get their pictures taken with Santa.
The annual event, hosted by U.S. Army Garrison-Hawaii and organized by the Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation, kicks off the holiday season in a family friendly atmosphere.
Also, the winners of the annual Schofield Barracks Holiday Card Lane contest were unveiled at the Tree Lighting Ceremony.
Taking first place this year was the 3rd Brigade Combat Team's 325th Brigade Support Battalion. The "Bronco" brigade's card depicted a bucking bronco pulling Santa's sleigh along a sandy Hawaiian beach.
In second place was the 249th Engineer Battalion, "Prime Power," with its "pop up" holiday card that paid homage to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' castle logo, which on the card was painted red like the Engineer Castle on Ralston Field. That castle had been built by engineers between 1938-1941 and has come to be a symbol of Army engineers on Schofield Barracks.
Placing third was the Schofield Barracks Youth Center with its card showcasing a traditional Christmas scene, complete with a light-up Christmas tree, a toy train and stockings hanging over a fireplace.
Holiday Card Lane cards are made of 4-foot by 8-foot sheets of plywood that are decorated by various Army Hawaii units and organizations and placed on display at Schofield Barracks until Jan. 5, 2018.
The winners of the Fort Shafter Holiday Card Lane contest were announced after the Hawaii Army Weekly's publication deadline on Thursday, at the Fort Shafter Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony. The results will be published at hawaiiarmyweekly.com and in an upcoming edition of the newspaper.

Mac OS X doesn't need more of a troubleshooting, as there are very few chances of getting it corrupted. But in case if it runs into complex issues, then you'll need to restart your Mac in recovery mode, in order to resolve complex problems.
Recovery Mode deals with disk permissions, reinstalling your OS X, and other technical stuff, which shouldn't be done if you aren't facing any issues.
Entering the recovery mode on Mac is pretty easy; the hard part is to deal with the problem. Here we will explain step-by-step on how you can get your Mac into Recovery Mode, just head south for complete details.
How to Start your Mac in Recovery Mode
Step #1. If your Mac is already ON, then go to Apple Menu and Restart.
Step #2. You'll need to be real quick while doing this step. Press and hold Command+R as soon as you hear the startup chime.
Step #3. Keep them pressed until you see the Apple logo.
If you have done it perfectly, you'll be in the recovery mode. In case you are presented with a login window, then you'll need to repeat the process, as you weren't quick enough to press the keys.
One more thing you'll need to consider, that is to use the built-in keyboard of your Mac. Many times, keystrokes aren't registered with other keyboards. Once you are in Recovery Mode, you might need to connect your Mac to the internet, as it needs to send your serial number to Apple servers.
That's it; you should have safely landed in the Recovery Mode by now.
