It is looking a little less likely that the Reserve Bank (RBNZ) will cut interest rates next week, following the release of the latest consumer price numbers.
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose just 0.2 percent in the first three months of the year. That is what the RBNZ expected, but was slightly higher than the markets were predicting.
The weaker global oil prices played a part. Airfares fell 12 percent and petrol prices slipped by 7.5 percent in the March quarter.
But tobacco and cigarette prices increased 9.4 percent, thanks to 10 percent rise in excise duty.
Fruit prices rose by 8.2 percent. However that was only a 1.6 percent increase if you allow for seasonal factors.
The end result was a lift in the CPI of 0.2 percent.
The RBNZ aims to keep annual inflation at between one and three percent. Ideally they would like it to be around two percent.
But inflation has been running well below one percent.
So the Reserve Bank has indicated it expects it will cut the Official Cash Rate at least once more this year from the current level of 2.25 percent.
Economists at Infometrics say that prior to the CPI figures coming out the markets were pricing in a 60 percent chance of a rate cut. It says the market probability has now fallen to around 50 percent.
They make the point that many of the biggest movements in prices were "either seasonal changes or factors outside the Reserve Bank's control". A good example is the increase in the tobacco excise tax.
Infometrics thinks the RBNZ might want to collect more labour market and dairy price data before making another cut to the OCR.
Some economists say the odds of a rate cut next week are even lower, at around 30 percent.
The fact the CPI was stronger than the markets were expecting was reflected in the New Zealand dollar.
The Kiwi moved up more than half a percent yesterday, moving from around 68.7 US cents before the data release to around 69.20 by yesterday evening.
This morning it is trading at 69.45 US cents.
It is slightly lower against the Australian currency, trading at 89.66 Australian cents.
The Kiwi was this morning sitting at 48.65 pence and 61.39 Euro cents.

'Media Day' at Pratt & Whitney headquarters was yesterday. I was there and so were 10 top Pratt executives and about other 15 reporters.
After a mercifully brief corporate presentation in the morning, reporters got paired up with half-hour individual interviews with sector presidents for space, military, commercial, engineering and so forth.
One executive called it the PR equivalent of "speed dating".
Fun fact: the founder of Pratt & Whitney was not named Pratt or Whitney. It was a man named Rentschler. I asked several people, but no one could tell me why a man named Rentschler would go to all the trouble of creating an engine company only to name his own company "Pratt & Whitney".
As an employee for a British defense (oops, I mean 'defence') publishing company called Jane's, I might be a little sensitive to the oddities of company names.
Finally, a Pratt executive I met at media day knew the answer. I never got the executive's name, but he must not be too important at Pratt because he was the only executive forced to sit with a table full of journalists for lunch.
He explained that Rentschler was not an engineer, but had the brilliant thought that an air-cooled engine could solve a lot of problems for the fledgling aviation business. Rentschler's brother was a banker, who gave his sibling the capital he needed to buy a machine and tooling shop. The shop was called Pratt & Whitney. The company went on to build the Wasp engine, which revolutionized the technology of aircraft engines.
These days, Pratt & Whitney has another big idea: the geared turbofan engine. The company believes this is the technology that will propel (pardon the pun) the company back into the commercial airliner business, after losing its footing in the 1980s by sticking too long with the JT8D despite the arrival of the GE/Snecma CFM56.
Modern turbofans work by splitting the airflow into air that bypasses the engine core and the air that goes through the engine core. The larger the ratio of air that bypasses the core, the more efficient an engine can be at subsonic speeds. By introducing a gear into the turbofan, Pratt is seeking to double or triple the ratio, making any airliner instantly about 20-25 percent more efficient.
If the technology works, Pratt will have a great product to put on the market early in the next decade just as Boeing and Airbus unveil the next-generation of single-aisle airliners to replace the B737 and A320. If the technology fails, Pratt will be in big trouble, with no viable commercial engine business after the V2500 passes its prime.
Er, no pressure.

A Tales from Foster High Story
Fearing the backlash of living as a gay man in Foster, Texas, Matt Wallace runs away to California, only to find it isn't the Promised Land he'd hoped for. Christmas sees Matt returning to Foster, where he bumps into his old flame, high school jock Tyler Parker.
Now that they're older, it doesn't take Matt too long to figure out that love at first sight is a very real thing. The only problem is neither Matt nor Tyler seems to know what to do after that. They're both running from the past—and each other—requiring some reverse engineering to actually spur the relationship past the false start.

Like Agana Boat Basin "Rights" the spot is accessed by parking car in lot on right side of harbor. Harbor can be seen from main highway. Walk out on jetty, step off jetty and paddle across channel. It is a pretty short paddle across. Wait for fishing and sail boats to pass first off course. After crossing keep on the right side of wave to avoid getting caught inside on the larger days.

This is probably one of the best and most visible spots on Guam. The left at the harbor entrance is the main surf spot, although there is a ledgy right on the other side of the harbor that is ridden mostly by bodyboarders. The left is reminiscent of Ala Moana, although shorter and not quite as hollow, and is one of the few spots on the island that can hold size. Consequently it is popular with the locals, who tend to commandeer the small takeoff zone when conditions are good. Respect is essential for outsiders. The harbor has been known to be polluted so watch out after rain and if you have open cuts.
After parking you have to walk out on jetty and pass "da boys". If it is too big to surf Agana Boat Basin Rights, that means the Lefts are just starting baby. I always waited for the set waves. The first waves I let the locals have-em. Park your car by the outdoor food courts or by the baseball field.
Guam is pretty mellow. Locals are pretty cool at the Boat Basin. Little more local at private spots. This place is located in down town Agana. Easy to see off street. Two good breaks at spot. Either the Rights when it is below 7 foot. Or surf the lefts when the swell is 4-5 foot plus.
The Boat Basin is one of my all time favorite spots. When I first moved to Guam when I was stationed there in the Coast Guard in the mid Eighties. I saw the Boat Basin Lefts on a 6-8 foot and CHARGING SWELL. It was also magnificent. Perfect shape. Although the Left is not as consistant as the Right, the right breaks alot more and is good from 1 freakin foot on up to 7. Always hallow. You just have to kick out of everyride or wind up on the coral and rocks by the jetty. I love Agana!

The Networked Grid 2013, Greentech Media's annual smart grid showcase and networking event, gets underway two weeks from today. Here's to hoping the sun is shining, the wind is blowing, and the grid is humming at optimal efficiency -- or, barring that, here's to a lively set of discussions on how to handle these grid challenges, among others.
California is the nation's test bed when it comes to smart grid technologies. This year's event, taking place at Four Seasons Westlake Village outside Los Angeles, CA, will feature speakers from the state's big three investor-owned utilities, along with a keynote address from Doug Kim, Southern California Edison's director of advanced technologies, on the utility's 10-year perspective on its smart metering, distribution automation, energy storage and renewable energy integration challenges.
For a broader perspective, GTM Research Senior Smart Grid Analyst David Groarke will share some exclusive content from our ongoing research into global smart grid market trends. Utilities will highlight how regions from solar-rich Arizona to fiber-enabled Chattanooga, Tenn. are adapting smart grid technology to deliver value. And Patty Durand, executive director of the Smart Grid Consumer Collaborative (SGCC), will share the latest data on how utilities and their customers are aligning on how they're going to communicate and trade efficiency for savings.
As for panel discussions, we've got an interesting lineup of topics, ranging from IT and OT integration to big data analytics and cloud computing, featuring speakers who have real-world deployment and integration experience to draw from. Here's a breakdown of the agenda.
Controlling the Networked Grid Enterprise: Integrating DMS, OMS, SCADA, DRMS and DERMS. GTM's David Groarke is taking on this acronym challenge, which could be translated as, "making the old work with the new." Specifically, utilities already have supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems linking their critical assets like generators, substations and central control rooms. Those networks support distribution (grid) management and outage management systems (DMS and OMS), which provide the IT interface for grid operators to handle distribution automation (DA) gear and manage customers and direct work crews to fix the grid when it breaks down. The "new" stuff is the distributed energy resources (the DRs or DERs). Whether it's rooftop solar panels, backup generators, commercial self-generation projects, grid-linked batteries, or far-off wind power, all this new stuff has to be made part of a utility's operations and enterprise planning, if it's going to realize its true potential -- or be kept from overloading the grid.
Wednesday's panel includes three experts to talk about real-world integration of these systems. Witold Bik, vice president of the automation systems division of S&C Electric Company, can talk about his company's work integrating fast-acting, self-healing grid systems and neighborhood energy storage systems, while Dr. Jayant Kumar, smart grid program director for Alstom Grid, can address the perspective of a company with a big market share in energy management and market management systems, as well as work underway in managing distributed renewables. Erich W. Gunther, chairman and CTO of EnerNex, one of the smart grid's chief technology-testers, will be on hand to fact-check the technical details.
Networked Grid Communications Architectures 2013: Global Technology Choices and Applications. Emma Ritch, senior smart grid analyst for GTM Research, was one of the first industry-watchers to identify an emerging market for network management systems (NMS) for the smart grid. Utilities have millions of smart meters deployed, and want to make sure they're connecting and delivering accurate billing data -- or fix the spots where they're failing to do so. At the same time, utilities have high-speed radio and fiber networks for grid controls, cellular coverage for workers in the field (and a growing number of smart grid devices), and many other communications networks rolling out. Someone's got to manage it all in a way that humans can understand.
Thursday's panel will feature three experts on the NMS subject. Laura Meadors, director of corporate strategy at GridMaven Utility Solutions, directs the U.S. subsidiary of South Korean telecom (and smart grid) giant SK Telecom to deliver its pan-network optimization technology to utility clients. Andres Carvallo, executive vice president and chief strategy officer of San Diego-based startup Proximetry Networks, is implementing the company's NMS system with smart grid partners including Cisco and Siemens. As for Joaquin Silva, executive vice president of corporate development at On-Ramp Wireless, his company has developed wireless technology that could upend mesh and cellular networks in terms of low cost and ubiquitous coverage, and it recently landed big partner General Electric to roll it out at commercial scale.
Taking the M out of MDM: Holistic Platforms and the Future of Smart Grid Data Management. Is meter data management, or MDM, a term that has outlived its usefulness? You might hear that argument out of Larsh Johnson, CTO of eMeter. While the Silicon Valley startup's core business is in managing millions of AMI endpoints for the likes of CenterPoint Energy, Toronto Hydro and Vattenfall, it's also built customer interfaces and broader analytics capabilities into its EnergyIP platform. Emeter was bought by Siemens in December 2011, and its software has since found its way into the German grid giant's new Spectrum Power 7 platform, which integrates generation and transmission grid management, distribution management and energy market management systems. Sounds like a lot more than meters to me.
GTM Research smart grid analyst Zach Pollock will be moderating Wednesday's panel, which also includes Paul Lekan, director of marketing and communications for the Utility Telecom Council, and Jeff Nichols, director of information security and management for San Diego Gas & Electric and Southern California Gas Co. parent company Sempra Energy, which has both electric and gas data to worry about. We'll see if the conversations yield a suitable replacement for the MDM moniker -- perhaps smart grid data management (SGDM)?
Consumer Energy Management, Take 2: Effective Solutions in HAN's Ultimate Lift-Off. Greentech Media senior writer Katherine Tweed will host this Thursday panel of utility and startup representatives trying to get their homeowners involved in saving energy, as well as helping the grid meet its daily needs. From the utility side, we've got Conrad Eustis, director of retail technology strategy for Oregon utility Portland General Electric Co., which has deployed smart meters and is now rolling out its Energy Tracker customer interface, and Elisabeth Brinton, chief customer officer for Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD), which has a broad range of residential demand response, load-balancing and solar integration projects underway.
As for the three startups represented, each is taking a different approach to the utility-home integration challenge. Seth Frader-Thompson, CEO of Brooklyn-based startup EnergyHub, has a range of utility-oriented in-home energy display and smart thermostat projects underway, while also becoming a smart thermostat platform provider for the likes of Radio Thermostat. And Roy Johnson, CEO of Redwood City, Calif.-based startup EcoFactor, takes smart thermostat data to the cloud, where it crunches it with weather, home efficiency, occupancy and other data to dial down cooling and heating energy use and lower utility bills, while keeping temperatures within comfort levels, and is working with utilities including NV Energy and Reliant Energy, as well as via Comcast's Xfinity home automation service. Yoav Lurie, CEO of San Diego-based startup Simple Energy, steps in where the utility customer meets the social network, designing contests and building communities via its online platform that is now available to utility customers in California, Texas and other smart-metered, Green Button-enabled states.
The Soft Grid: Big Data, Analytics, Cloud Computing and the Grid. GTM's David Groarke brings his in-depth knowledge of the IT practices of energy companies and utilities to this discussion of the next stage in smart grid data management and analytics. It's become a cliché to say that utilities are facing a "data tsunami" with the implementation of the smart grid, but that doesn't make it any less true. Simply managing smart meter billing data is a challenge, and that's leaving out the other functions (outage notification, power quality measurement, conservation voltage reduction data collection, home area network engagement) that most AMI deployments want to handle. Optimizing the distribution grid presents another layer of complexity, along with low latency requirements that can tax traditional database architectures. And let's not forget the universe of data that exists outside a utility's walls, from ever-more-accurate and up-to-date weather forecasts to predict wind and solar output, to the latest in consumer behavior analysis and modification to tweak efficiency rebate and variable pricing schemes for the mass market.
Thursday's panel will feature a cross-section of "big data" applications for the smart grid. Andrew Tang, vice president of business development and strategy for Palo Alto, Calif.-based big data startup AutoGrid, is working with partners like Silver Spring Networks and Austin Energy on integrating tons of disparate data streams into application-specific utility platforms. Kevin Meagher, CTO of Power Analytics (formerly EDSA), is crunching tons of data to model and manage power systems from U.S. Navy ships to neighborhood microgrids, along with a utility interface to bring pricing into the picture. On the energy storage front, we've got representatives from two San Francisco-based startups -- Salim Khan, CEO of Stem, and Ryan Wartena, CEO and founder of GELI (Growing Energy Labs Inc.) -- slated to talk about how to turn batteries into grid-balancing, load-following utility assets via big data integration.
The Marriage of Power Electronics and Software Control for Advanced Distribution Grids through 2020 and Beyond. GTM Research smart grid analyst Ben Kellison will moderate this panel, covering the technologies that begin to blur the line between the power grid and the digital network. High-tech power electronics have been used in industrial motors, electronics AC-to-DC converters, electric vehicle drives, solar power inverters, static VAR compensators for wind farms and other applications for many years. But solid-state power management technologies for the transmission grid are heavily customized and expensive; and cheaper mass-produced solutions for converters, electronics, and inverters cannot handle grid-level power, nor do they exhibit the reliability levels expected of utility field equipment. Overcoming cost and reliability factors -- not to mention the networking and software expertise required to integrate them into utility operations -- are major challenges for vendors seeking to enable dynamic, granular monitoring and control of the electric waveform to improve renewable integration and address power quality problems while increasing grid efficiency.
Still, this year holds promise for some real-world, commercial-scale tests of digital grid power controls. For this Wednesday panel, Dr. Deepak Divan, president and CTO of ARPA-E-funded startup Varentec, and Naimish Patel, CEO of startup Gridco Systems, will be on hand to explain the technical, regulatory and business case scenarios for advanced power electronics on the grid. Stephanie Hamilton, smart grid R&D manager for DOE's Brookhaven National Lab and Percy Haralson, senior manager of the field technologies group of Southern California Edison, will provide insight from the government research and utility perspectives, respectively.
If you didn't think you had a reason to attend GTM's Networked Grid conference, now you have plenty.

Non-profit educational research organizations seek betterment of our education system through policy and practice research and advocacy. As non-profits, their activities are directed toward improving education policy and practice independent of government, which helps avoid claims of conflict of interest. Their work can be international, national, and regional in scope.
Educational research organizations aim to improve education at all levels through a variety of activities. Organizations focus their research on education policy, practices, and evaluations. Many organizations use an interdisciplinary approach, drawing on insights from psychology, sociology, statistics, economics and political science. It's common for educational research organizations to include all types of educators such as teachers, counselors, and administrators.
Educational research organizations undertake a variety of activities to complete their work. A common method is compiling reports for educators and policymakers to disseminate their findings. Workshops bringing together educators, administrators, policymakers and researchers are a means to collect information from a large group, but also to allow people to share experiences and learn from each other. These organizations also conduct hands-on training workshops and pilot programs.
Educational Policy Research
Education policy impacts the type, timing, and quality of education in a country or state. The research in this area explores how policy is made and the effects. Using this information, education research organizations present their findings to policymakers and recommend policies or reforms. These organizations include the Consortium for Policy Research in Education, the Education Commission of the States and the American Educational Research Association, Education Policy and Politics Division.
Education Practice Research
Education practice consists of in-classroom techniques and activities to deliver lessons to students at all levels. Research will often specialize on a level of education (primary, high school or post-secondary) and provide information on new innovations and their effectiveness. This research often considers the social context of education practice. A large organization in this area is the American Institute for Research, which focuses on education at all levels.
Education Evaluation Research
Policymakers and educators want to know the effectiveness of policies and practices. Evaluation research studies the impacts of policies and practices, often using a range of information such as statistics and economic information. This type of research if valuable to assess progress and identify areas of improvement. An example of this type of research organization is the What Works Clearinghouse.

Return homes stolen from Christians says Shiite leader
Baghdad (Agencies): Influential Iraqi Shiite leader, Muqtada al-Sadr, leader of the Sadrist Movement, has backed a call for the return of homes and property stolen from Christians in Baghdad, Kirkuk and other Iraqi cities, according to a report by the Fides news agency.
The Pascale Warda, a Chaldean Catholic who was immigration minister of the first government of transition following the fall of Saddam Hussein, has expressed satisfaction with al-Sadr's stand and, according to www.ankawa.com, has called upon all Iraqis to support to restoration move, which also has the backing of the Hammurabi Human Rights Organisation and other civic organisations.
The exodus of Iraqi Christians has led to the illegal appropriation of homes and properties that have remained empty, on the presumption that the owners were not returning. According to one report by Fides (23 July 2015), officials either colluded or turned a blind eye, although members of the Iraqi parliament and Christian groups have protested.

Shares in digital map maker Tele Atlas rallied on Thursday on hopes EU regulators will approve its 2.9 billion euro ($4.48 billion) takeover by TomTom, Europe's largest maker of car navigation devices.
Tele Atlas shares rose nearly 9 percent to 23.97 euros at 1315 GMT, although the stock remains about 20 percent below the 30 euros per share offered by TomTom.
Competition officials at the European Commission had been close to approving the deal but TomTom resisted remedies deemed necessary by Brussels, a source close to the deal said earlier this month.
So instead the Commission issued a formal statement of objections, complicating the task of winning approval.
The Commission, which rarely rejects deals completely, must complete its in-depth investigation and decision by May 5.
The deal has won approval in the United States, and for six years Brussels and the U.S. have been in sync on merger decisions.
But first, the Commission will decide by March 28 whether Nokiva's $8.1 billion deal to buy U.S. firm Navteq , the other major digital map maker, also deserves an in-depth, 90 working-day investigation.
Nokia has offered no remedies for competitive problems in that deal, which has some of the same complex issues as TomTom.
Some argued Tele Atlas shares, trading at 28.50 euros as late as the end of February, have fallen so far that their downside is limited, even if the Commission rejected the deal.
"Our stand-alone model suggests a target for Tele Atlas of 24 euros per share, although we should apply a discount because of the 30 percent interest held by TomTom," SNS Securities analyst Martijn den Drijver said in a note.
"The upside ... is significant and rather likely," he said.
Another analyst, who asked not to be identified, was more cautious, saying he expected the shares to drop to around 17 euros if the deal fell through.
Navigating Ahead
TomTom says it is committed to winning approval, reducing its dependence on hardware sales and securing itself a place at the heart of the fast-growing navigation industry.
TomTom has told Tele Atlas customers, who are potential or actual rivals, their trade secrets would be safe. It said Tele Atlas customers will have access to the same maps at the same time as TomTom, and the companies will operate at arm's length.
But an industry source has expressed unease at the deal and pointed to two issues raised by the Commission.
Customers of both Tele Atlas and Navteq ask map makers to incorporate their new ideas and such new features give the originators a short-term advantage before becoming widely available, the source said.
The source also said even if Tele Atlas were run as a separate division of the company it would need approval from TomTom for major new investments to carry out ideas requested by customers.
No matter the promises made, ideas would no longer be secret from a major rival, the source said.
Second, TomTom would be tempted to offer less rich electronic maps to rivals and could also raise prices.
Competitors are concerned that promises to offer the maps on fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms would mean little.
But analyst den Drijver says Tele Atlas has retained old customers and signed new ones, a sign that they do not share such concerns.

It doesn't look like it,
but we're actually down
the home stretch as far
as this project is concerned!
The flooring is almost complete.
And when I say 'we' that means
my husband. Painting is about all
I can be trusted with.
this is an area of the studio where the piano will be located
A few months ago, we had this:
the space worked for skateboarding & storage
To read about our plans
back in February,
I painted most of the walls white
but decided to let some of the
wood walls breathe without any
treatment at all.
So no paint on the walls of our
college son's new room–he cannot
wait to visit home and check it out.
I'm leaving the closet walls
'sauna like' for fun.
I can always change my mind.
The bathroom has since been painted,
but this gives you an idea of where it is
headed and how the venetino marble mosaic
floor looks (the shower is the same
stone in basic squares–I wanted
very very simple and low cost).
Not sure if this is pre-grout or not cuz
we opted for a grey grout.
I sealed everything a couple times.
I couldn't believe how many options
there were for body spray installation.
In the end, my husband and sons
just decided on what made sense
to them (they are all the same height).
Door on right is pocket door.
Even my childhood piano which I have played
(badly) for as long as my memory goes back
got an update–layers of paint then a soap treatment finish.
I'll share more photos soon as we pull the suite
of rooms together, and I bet you will be surprised
at how much the feel of the space changes
with dark rich flooring.
800 square feet down, just 800 more on the
other side to finish.
Thanks for following!
DIY is highly overrated.
We used to go to movies.
And cook on the weekends.
Feelin me?
Peace to you right where you are.

text: Virulence: The degree of pathogenicity within a group or species of microorganisms or viruses as indicated by case fatality rates and/or the ability of the organism to invade the tissues of the host. The pathogenic capacity of an organism is determined by its VIRULENCE FACTORS.Bacterial Proteins: Proteins found in any species of bacterium.Gene Expression Regulation, Bacterial: Any of the processes by which cytoplasmic or intercellular factors influence the differential control of gene action in bacteria.Genes, Bacterial: The functional hereditary units of BACTERIA.Molecular Sequence Data: Descriptions of specific amino acid, carbohydrate, or nucleotide sequences which have appeared in the published literature and/or are deposited in and maintained by databanks such as GENBANK, European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), National Biomedical Research Foundation (NBRF), or other sequence repositories.Mutation: Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations.Gene Deletion: A genetic rearrangement through loss of segments of DNA or RNA, bringing sequences which are normally separated into close proximity. This deletion may be detected using cytogenetic techniques and can also be inferred from the phenotype, indicating a deletion at one specific locus.Bacterial Adhesion: Physicochemical property of fimbriated (FIMBRIAE, BACTERIAL) and non-fimbriated bacteria of attaching to cells, tissue, and nonbiological surfaces. It is a factor in bacterial colonization and pathogenicity.Plant Diseases: Diseases of plants.DNA, Bacterial: Deoxyribonucleic acid that makes up the genetic material of bacteria.Host-Pathogen Interactions: The interactions between a host and a pathogen, usually resulting in disease.Quorum Sensing: A phenomenon where microorganisms communicate and coordinate their behavior by the accumulation of signaling molecules. A reaction occurs when a substance accumulates to a sufficient concentration. This is most commonly seen in bacteria.Escherichia coli Infections: Infections with bacteria of the species ESCHERICHIA COLI.Hemolysin Proteins: Proteins from BACTERIA and FUNGI that are soluble enough to be secreted to target ERYTHROCYTES and insert into the membrane to form beta-barrel pores. Biosynthesis may be regulated by HEMOLYSIN FACTORS.Genomic Islands: Distinct units in some bacterial, bacteriophage or plasmid GENOMES that are types of MOBILE GENETIC ELEMENTS. Encoded in them are a variety of fitness conferring genes, such as VIRULENCE FACTORS (in "pathogenicity islands or islets"), ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE genes, or genes required for SYMBIOSIS (in "symbiosis islands or islets"). They range in size from 10 - 500 kilobases, and their GC CONTENT and CODON usage differ from the rest of the genome. They typically contain an INTEGRASE gene, although in some cases this gene has been deleted resulting in "anchored genomic islands".Bacterial Toxins: Toxic substances formed in or elaborated by bacteria; they are usually proteins with high molecular weight and antigenicity; some are used as antibiotics and some to skin test for the presence of or susceptibility to certain diseases.Adhesins, Bacterial: Cell-surface components or appendages of bacteria that facilitate adhesion (BACTERIAL ADHESION) to other cells or to inanimate surfaces. Most fimbriae (FIMBRIAE, BACTERIAL) of gram-negative bacteria function as adhesins, but in many cases it is a minor subunit protein at the tip of the fimbriae that is the actual adhesin. In gram-positive bacteria, a protein or polysaccharide surface layer serves as the specific adhesin. What is sometimes called polymeric adhesin (BIOFILMS) is distinct from protein adhesin.Plasmids: Extrachromosomal, usually CIRCULAR DNA molecules that are self-replicating and transferable from one organism to another. They are found in a variety of bacterial, archaeal, fungal, algal, and plant species. They are used in GENETIC ENGINEERING as CLONING VECTORS.Yersinia pestis: The etiologic agent of PLAGUE in man, rats, ground squirrels, and other rodents.Mice, Inbred BALB CEscherichia coli: A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc.Bacterial Outer Membrane Proteins: Proteins isolated from the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria.Genome, Bacterial: The genetic complement of a BACTERIA as represented in its DNA.Lethal Dose 50: The dose amount of poisonous or toxic substance or dose of ionizing radiation required to kill 50% of the tested population.Amino Acid Sequence: The order of amino acids as they occur in a polypeptide chain. This is referred to as the primary structure of proteins. It is of fundamental importance in determining PROTEIN CONFORMATION.Mutagenesis, Insertional: Mutagenesis where the mutation is caused by the introduction of foreign DNA sequences into a gene or extragenic sequence. This may occur spontaneously in vivo or be experimentally induced in vivo or in vitro. Proviral DNA insertions into or adjacent to a cellular proto-oncogene can interrupt GENETIC TRANSLATION of the coding sequences or interfere with recognition of regulatory elements and cause unregulated expression of the proto-oncogene resulting in tumor formation.Salmonella typhimurium: A serotype of Salmonella enterica that is a frequent agent of Salmonella gastroenteritis in humans. It also causes PARATYPHOID FEVER.Sequence Analysis, DNA: A multistage process that includes cloning, physical mapping, subcloning, determination of the DNA SEQUENCE, and information analysis.Genetic Complementation Test: A test used to determine whether or not complementation (compensation in the form of dominance) will occur in a cell with a given mutant phenotype when another mutant genome, encoding the same mutant phenotype, is introduced into that cell.Base Sequence: The sequence of PURINES and PYRIMIDINES in nucleic acids and polynucleotides. It is also called nucleotide sequence.Streptococcus pyogenes: A species of gram-positive, coccoid bacteria isolated from skin lesions, blood, inflammatory exudates, and the upper respiratory tract of humans. It is a group A hemolytic Streptococcus that can cause SCARLET FEVER and RHEUMATIC FEVER.Pseudomonas aeruginosa: A species of gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacteria commonly isolated from clinical specimens (wound, burn, and urinary tract infections). It is also found widely distributed in soil and water. P. aeruginosa is a major agent of nosocomial infection.Cryptococcus neoformans: A species of the fungus CRYPTOCOCCUS. Its teleomorph is Filobasidiella neoformans.Escherichia coli Proteins: Proteins obtained from ESCHERICHIA COLI.Phylogeny: The relationships of groups of organisms as reflected by their genetic makeup.Vibrio cholerae: The etiologic agent of CHOLERA.Antigens, Bacterial: Substances elaborated by bacteria that have antigenic activity.Candida albicans: A unicellular budding fungus which is the principal pathogenic species causing CANDIDIASIS (moniliasis).Disease Models, Animal: Naturally occurring or experimentally induced animal diseases with pathological processes sufficiently similar to those of human diseases. They are used as study models for human diseases.Shigella flexneri: A bacterium which is one of the etiologic agents of bacillary dysentery (DYSENTERY, BACILLARY) and sometimes of infantile gastroenteritis.Listeria monocytogenes: A species of gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria widely distributed in nature. It has been isolated from sewage, soil, silage, and from feces of healthy animals and man. Infection with this bacterium leads to encephalitis, meningitis, endocarditis, and abortion.Yersinia pseudotuberculosis: A human and animal pathogen causing mesenteric lymphadenitis, diarrhea, and bacteremia.Staphylococcus aureus: Potentially pathogenic bacteria found in nasal membranes, skin, hair follicles, and perineum of warm-blooded animals. They may cause a wide range of infections and intoxications.Yersinia enterocolitica: A species of the genus YERSINIA, isolated from both man and animal. It is a frequent cause of bacterial gastroenteritis in children.Streptococcal Infections: Infections with bacteria of the genus STREPTOCOCCUS.Serotyping: Process of determining and distinguishing species of bacteria or viruses based on antigens they share.Fungal Proteins: Proteins found in any species of fungus.Fimbriae, Bacterial: Thin, hairlike appendages, 1 to 20 microns in length and often occurring in large numbers, present on the cells of gram-negative bacteria, particularly Enterobacteriaceae and Neisseria. Unlike flagella, they do not possess motility, but being protein (pilin) in nature, they possess antigenic and hemagglutinating properties. They are of medical importance because some fimbriae mediate the attachment of bacteria to cells via adhesins (ADHESINS, BACTERIAL). Bacterial fimbriae refer to common pili, to be distinguished from the preferred use of "pili", which is confined to sex pili (PILI, SEX).Plague: An acute infectious disease caused by YERSINIA PESTIS that affects humans, wild rodents, and their ectoparasites. This condition persists due to its firm entrenchment in sylvatic rodent-flea ecosystems throughout the world. Bubonic plague is the most common form.Bacterial Capsules: An envelope of loose gel surrounding a bacterial cell which is associated with the virulence of pathogenic bacteria. Some capsules have a well-defined border, whereas others form a slime layer that trails off into the medium. Most capsules consist of relatively simple polysaccharides but there are some bacteria whose capsules are made of polypeptides.Phenotype: The outward appearance of the individual. It is the product of interactions between genes, and between the GENOTYPE and the environment.Regulon: In eukaryotes, a genetic unit consisting of a noncontiguous group of genes under the control of a single regulator gene. In bacteria, regulons are global regulatory systems involved in the interplay of pleiotropic regulatory domains and consist of several OPERONS.Hyphae: Microscopic threadlike filaments in FUNGI that are filled with a layer of protoplasm. Collectively, the hyphae make up the MYCELIUM.Microbial Viability: Ability of a microbe to survive under given conditions. This can also be related to a colony's ability to replicate.DNA Transposable Elements: Discrete segments of DNA which can excise and reintegrate to another site in the genome. Most are inactive, i.e., have not been found to exist outside the integrated state. DNA transposable elements include bacterial IS (insertion sequence) elements, Tn elements, the maize controlling elements Ac and Ds, Drosophila P, gypsy, and pogo elements, the human Tigger elements and the Tc and mariner elements which are found throughout the animal kingdom.Salmonella Infections, Animal: Infections in animals with bacteria of the genus SALMONELLA.Operon: In bacteria, a group of metabolically related genes, with a common promoter, whose transcription into a single polycistronic MESSENGER RNA is under the control of an OPERATOR REGION.Yersinia pseudotuberculosis Infections: Infections with bacteria of the species YERSINIA PSEUDOTUBERCULOSIS.Colony Count, Microbial: Enumeration by direct count of viable, isolated bacterial, archaeal, or fungal CELLS or SPORES capable of growth on solid CULTURE MEDIA. The method is used routinely by environmental microbiologists for quantifying organisms in AIR; FOOD; and WATER; by clinicians for measuring patients' microbial load; and in antimicrobial drug testing.Fimbriae Proteins: Proteins that are structural components of bacterial fimbriae (FIMBRIAE, BACTERIAL) or sex pili (PILI, SEX).Macrophages: The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS. (from The Dictionary of Cell Biology, Lackie and Dow, 3rd ed.)Vibrio Infections: Infections with bacteria of the genus VIBRIO.Gene Knockout Techniques: Techniques to alter a gene sequence that result in an inactivated gene, or one in which the expression can be inactivated at a chosen time during development to study the loss of function of a gene.Yersinia: A genus of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic rod- to coccobacillus-shaped bacteria that occurs in a broad spectrum of habitats.Polymerase Chain Reaction: In vitro method for producing large amounts of specific DNA or RNA fragments of defined length and sequence from small amounts of short oligonucleotide flanking sequences (primers). The essential steps include thermal denaturation of the double-stranded target molecules, annealing of the primers to their complementary sequences, and extension of the annealed primers by enzymatic synthesis with DNA polymerase. The reaction is efficient, specific, and extremely sensitive. Uses for the reaction include disease diagnosis, detection of difficult-to-isolate pathogens, mutation analysis, genetic testing, DNA sequencing, and analyzing evolutionary relationships.Yersinia Infections: Infections with bacteria of the genus YERSINIA.Cell Line: Established cell cultures that have the potential to propagate indefinitely.Species Specificity: The restriction of a characteristic behavior, anatomical structure or physical system, such as immune response; metabolic response, or gene or gene variant to the members of one species. It refers to that property which differentiates one species from another but it is also used for phylogenetic levels higher or lower than the species.Siderophores: Low-molecular-weight compounds produced by microorganisms that aid in the transport and sequestration of ferric iron. (The Encyclopedia of Molecular Biology, 1994)Salmonella: A genus of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria that utilizes citrate as a sole carbon source. It is pathogenic for humans, causing enteric fevers, gastroenteritis, and bacteremia. Food poisoning is the most common clinical manifestation. Organisms within this genus are separated on the basis of antigenic characteristics, sugar fermentation patterns, and bacteriophage susceptibility.Bacterial Secretion Systems: In GRAM NEGATIVE BACTERIA, multiprotein complexes that function to translocate pathogen protein effector molecules across the bacterial cell envelope, often directly into the host. These effectors are involved in producing surface structures for adhesion, bacterial motility, manipulation of host functions, modulation of host defense responses, and other functions involved in facilitating survival of the pathogen. Several of the systems have homologous components functioning similarly in GRAM POSITIVE BACTERIA.Vibrio vulnificus: A species of halophilic bacteria in the genus VIBRIO, which lives in warm SEAWATER. It can cause infections in those who eat raw contaminated seafood or have open wounds exposed to seawater.Cryptococcosis: Infection with a fungus of the species CRYPTOCOCCUS NEOFORMANS.Pseudomonas Infections: Infections with bacteria of the genus PSEUDOMONAS.Rhodococcus equi: A species of RHODOCOCCUS found in soil, herbivore dung, and in the intestinal tract of cows, horses, sheep, and pigs.

Traditionally excluded from definition of parasites are pathogenic BACTERIA; FUNGI; VIRUSES; and PLANTS; though they may live parasitically.Poultry Diseases: Diseases of birds which are raised as a source of meat or eggs for human consumption and are usually found in barnyards, hatcheries, etc. The concept is differentiated from BIRD DISEASES which is for diseases of birds not considered poultry and usually found in zoos, parks, and the wild.Polysaccharides, Bacterial: Polysaccharides found in bacteria and in capsules thereof.Cloning, Molecular: The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells.Anti-Bacterial Agents: Substances that reduce the growth or reproduction of BACTERIA.4-Butyrolactone: One of the FURANS with a carbonyl thereby forming a cyclic lactone. It is an endogenous compound made from gamma-aminobutyrate and is the precursor of gamma-hydroxybutyrate. It is also used as a pharmacological agent and solvent.Genotype: The genetic constitution of the individual, comprising the ALLELES present at each GENETIC LOCUS.Candidiasis: Infection with a fungus of the genus CANDIDA. It is usually a superficial infection of the moist areas of the body and is generally caused by CANDIDA ALBICANS.

It is differentiated into approximately 50 pathovars with different plant pathogenicities and host specificities.Sequence Alignment: The arrangement of two or more amino acid or base sequences from an organism or organisms in such a way as to align areas of the sequences sharing common properties. The degree of relatedness or homology between the sequences is predicted computationally or statistically based on weights assigned to the elements aligned between the sequences. This in turn can serve as a potential indicator of the genetic relatedness between the organisms.Francisella tularensis: The etiologic agent of TULAREMIA in man and other warm-blooded animals.Serial Passage: Inoculation of a series of animals or in vitro tissue with an infectious bacterium or virus, as in VIRULENCE studies and the development of vaccines.Sequence Homology, Amino Acid: The degree of similarity between sequences of amino acids. This information is useful for the analyzing genetic relatedness of proteins and species.Genetic Variation: Genotypic differences observed among individuals in a population.Cytotoxins: Substances that are toxic to cells; they may be involved in immunity or may be contained in venoms. These are distinguished from CYTOSTATIC AGENTS in degree of effect. Some of them are used as CYTOTOXIC ANTIBIOTICS.

It plays a role in cellular redox reactions and in the transport of OXYGEN.Blood Bactericidal Activity: The natural bactericidal property of BLOOD due to normally occurring antibacterial substances such as beta lysin, leukin, etc. This activity needs to be distinguished from the bactericidal activity contained in a patient's serum as a result of antimicrobial therapy, which is measured by a SERUM BACTERICIDAL TEST.Xanthomonas: A genus in the family XANTHOMONADACEAE whose cells produce a yellow pigment (Gr. xanthos - yellow). It is pathogenic to plants.Culture Media: Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN.Ascomycota: A phylum of fungi which have cross-walls or septa in the mycelium. The perfect state is characterized by the formation of a saclike cell (ascus) containing ascospores.

Examples of multigene families include those that encode the hemoglobins, immunoglobulins, histocompatibility antigens, actins, tubulins, keratins, collagens, heat shock proteins, salivary glue proteins, chorion proteins, cuticle proteins, yolk proteins, and phaseolins, as well as histones, ribosomal RNA, and transfer RNA genes. The latter three are examples of reiterated genes, where hundreds of identical genes are present in a tandem array. (King & Stanfield, A Dictionary of Genetics, 4th ed)Escherichia coli O157: A verocytotoxin-producing serogroup belonging to the O subfamily of Escherichia coli which has been shown to cause severe food-borne disease. A strain from this serogroup, serotype H7, which produces SHIGA TOXINS, has been linked to human disease outbreaks resulting from contamination of foods by E. coli O157 from bovine origin.Prophages: Genomes of temperate BACTERIOPHAGES integrated into the DNA of their bacterial host cell. The prophages can be duplicated for many cell generations until some stimulus induces its activation and virulence.Aspergillus fumigatus: A species of imperfect fungi from which the antibiotic fumigatin is obtained.

They are often bacterial infections with associated BACTERIURIA and PYURIA.Flagella: A whiplike motility appendage present on the surface cells. Prokaryote flagella are composed of a protein called FLAGELLIN. Bacteria can have a single flagellum, a tuft at one pole, or multiple flagella covering the entire surface. In eukaryotes, flagella are threadlike protoplasmic extensions used to propel flagellates and sperm. Flagella have the same basic structure as CILIA but are longer in proportion to the cell bearing them and present in much smaller numbers. (From King & Stansfield, A Dictionary of Genetics, 4th ed)Pyocyanine: Antibiotic pigment produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.Exotoxins: Toxins produced, especially by bacterial or fungal cells, and released into the culture medium or environment.Aeromonas hydrophila: A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria that may be pathogenic for frogs, fish, and mammals, including man.

This condition can lead to severe dehydration in a matter of hours unless quickly treated.Diarrhea: An increased liquidity or decreased consistency of FECES, such as running stool. Fecal consistency is related to the ratio of water-holding capacity of insoluble solids to total water, rather than the amount of water present. Diarrhea is not hyperdefecation or increased fecal weight.Trans-Activators: Diffusible gene products that act on homologous or heterologous molecules of viral or cellular DNA to regulate the expression of proteins.Gene Transfer, Horizontal: The naturally occurring transmission of genetic information between organisms, related or unrelated, circumventing parent-to-offspring transmission. Horizontal gene transfer may occur via a variety of naturally occurring processes such as GENETIC CONJUGATION; GENETIC TRANSDUCTION; and TRANSFECTION. It may result in a change of the recipient organism's genetic composition (TRANSFORMATION, GENETIC).Chickens: Common name for the species Gallus gallus, the domestic fowl, in the family Phasianidae, order GALLIFORMES. It is descended from the red jungle fowl of SOUTHEAST ASIA.Enterococcus faecalis: A species of gram-positive, coccoid bacteria commonly isolated from clinical specimens and the human intestinal tract.

Rabbits are born in burrows, furless, and with eyes and ears closed. In contrast with HARES, rabbits have 22 chromosome pairs.O Antigens: The lipopolysaccharide-protein somatic antigens, usually from gram-negative bacteria, important in the serological classification of enteric bacilli. The O-specific chains determine the specificity of the O antigens of a given serotype. O antigens are the immunodominant part of the lipopolysaccharide molecule in the intact bacterial cell. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed)Sequence Deletion: Deletion of sequences of nucleic acids from the genetic material of an individual.Epithelial Cells: Cells that line the inner and outer surfaces of the body by forming cellular layers (EPITHELIUM) or masses. Epithelial cells lining the SKIN; the MOUTH; the NOSE; and the ANAL CANAL derive from ectoderm; those lining the RESPIRATORY SYSTEM and the DIGESTIVE SYSTEM derive from endoderm; others (CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM and LYMPHATIC SYSTEM) derive from mesoderm. Epithelial cells can be classified mainly by cell shape and function into squamous, glandular and transitional epithelial cells.Chicory: A thick-rooted perennial (Cichorium intybus) native to Europe but widely grown for its young leaves used as salad greens and for its roots, dried and ground-roasted, used to flavor or adulterate coffee.

Following article is written by Hyun Kim. PDF content is originally from SEObook.com and it belongs to Aaron Wall.
I've been reading upon the SEObook.com, which is one of the most searched websites in the India and the USA. Alexa has ranked this website as #3100 (for the USA), and #710 (for India). SEObook.com was started by Aaron Wall, who was disappointed by SEO firm scamming him $5000. After realizing he wanted to be more educated and knowledgeable, he started creating SEObook.com with his wife and offered free education to people. (P.S You have to realize that, back in 2006, the SEO was simply a bunch of keywords added into the top of the website or into the website HTML code. So it did bother many people. Not much of the digital analytics or strategy was involved back then.)
SEO researcth flowshart is illustrated by Aaron Wall, who has provided his SEO research online in this simple PDF download. But I wanted to explain step by step, how each step works and provide you how it could work on your website.
P.S To do this keyword research flowchart, you might want to open up an excel. It helps you follow the process much easier.
1. Start with a question "Is my website receiving any search traffic?"
If not, then you must brainstorm keywords ideas and add them into your excel sheet.
If yes, create a seed list by pasting historical keyword data from your server logs into spreadsheet. If you do not know historical keyword data, then you can check your website keywords search by looking at SEMrush.com. It will show you list of keywords people have searched in the past.
2. Check if you have enough keywords in your list.
If not, then use junk mail, competitors websites, television programs, news resources or popular articles to generate ideas. If you get stuck, open a thesaurus or dictionary online to find terms. If you want to do an easy way, you can use the Google Keyword Generator.
If yes, then use your different range of keywords to build a list.
3. Happy Test
If you are happy with your keyword list, then you are ready to use it!
If you are not happy with your keyword list, then go back to step 2!
4. Web Traffic Test
First, if you are using Google, open Google keyword tool or Google Keyword estimator. For Bing, use the Bing Ads Intelligence tool. You can also use a free tool.
By adding your keyword list into the keyword tool or keyword estimator, check if they receive sufficient traffic volume. It should receive at last few thousands to +300,000 impressions. Anywhere between 80,000 – 500,000 impressions is a good start.
5. Market Value Test
Market value test refers to checking whether if your keywords provide high level of ROI or search traffic. Your keyword list will certainly show how many times specific keywords have been used, clicked and shown (Check for impressions, position, click-through-rate (CTR), and cost-per-click (CPC)). You certainly want to remove or erase the low value terms. They won't help you and could eat up your keyword costs.
6. Dipping Test
Do you remember your first time trying to swim into a pool? Everyone has tendency to be careful and people dip their toes to check the water temperature.
Just as you are testing the water, you need to utilize the same idea into keywords testing in Google Adwords & Bing Ads.
Test your keyword list by running an Adwords campaign to verify traffic level (impressions) and test the keywords. This will help you reduce future cost and save you money.
7. Consistency Test
If your adword campaign test shows consistent level of impressions and click through rate, then you are on to the best Google adword marketing!
If your adword campaign test shows no consistency, then you have to discard the non-performing terms. Try using the negative keywords at the bottom of the Google campaign and click the "+ ADD NEGATIVE KEYWORDS" button.
8. Aligning URLs & Keywords
Open an excel spreadsheet and align your keywords with URLs.
You could make additional sections – "related keywords", "page title".
Using ranking and conversion data learnt from the "Dipping Test" – Section 6 of this post, you can improve your site structure and know which pages to build links for.
9. Stay Alert using Google Alerts
Open up the Google Alerts on a browser. (https://www.google.com/alerts). In the Google Alerts, you can monitor the webs for the contents you wish. For example, if you are looking for "honda", you can create an alert for "honda news" or "honda". This tool will track news to find hot new products, stories and keywords.
Use your site's internal searches and research tools to find keywords you are not yet covering. This will help enhance your keyword searches and keep your keyword competitive.
Search Flux Monitors
These are tools which use a seed set of keywords and compare today's search results against yesterday's results & then compare how much the recent change has been against the typical daily churn.
- Mozcast – Developed by SEOMoz, it is one of the more popular flux monitor tools. It contains metrics for SERP diversity and domain name related measurements.
- AdvancedWebRanking – This is a very comprehensive SEO tool that show your local keyword ranking in real-time, manage unlimited clients & users, provides SEO audit (check your website's keyword errors, and broken links, etc), and check your social page shares (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, and Pinterest).
- Serpmetrics – SERPmetrics is a robust search engine rank monitoring platform with a full featured API, built specifically for SEO agencies with bulk keyword tracking needs. We process billions of results every month.
- SERPs.com – You can check your website indexing rank in real time on Google and Yahoo (30 Days & 90 Days). It looks much like how stock markets are, except the indexing is your website ranking on daily basis.
- Algaroo – Developed by DEJEAN. This integrates Google indexing system and show indexing volatility by daily. This system monitors roughly 17,000 keywords to 100 search positions deep and looks for fluctuations. You can sign-up to get updates, but also attain widget to monitor your website indexing volatility.
If you liked this post, please share with others. I have written this to help others and put my own time for your benefits.

The school is located in Jeonju, 180 miles south of Seoul and is affiliated with Jeonju University. There are about 60 total students and 13 foreign teachers. Most of the graduates have entered universities abroad.
About GPA
Jeonju University officials, including Dr. Nahm-sik Lee, recognized a need for a high school that would prepare students for university studies abroad, which resulted in the creation of the GPA high school. The school opened its doors in February 2006 with only a few students. School officials expect continuous growth, which will result in added curriculum and extracurricular opportunities.
GPA is a college preparatory high school with the goal of preparing students academically, physically, and socially for the global workplace and to help them become leaders with broad perspectives and high expectations for themselves and others.
What is unique about GPA?
How do we stand out from the other schools here in South Korea?
- GPA provides a unique learning environment that reflects a North American style school. All subjects are taught in English using an American based education curriculum.
- All teaching is student centered. Teachers are encouraged to use best–practiced (researched) methods and strategies in their teaching.
- GPA offers Arts electives: Visual Arts, Music, and Creative Writing, all of which are taught by qualified teachers. Students have an opportunity to learn language unique to these particular subject areas.
- All subjects are taught by qualified teachers.
- The majority of teachers are licensed in their subject area or in the process of getting their Education degree or license.
- The current staff come from diverse backgrounds and as a result bring with them different experiences. They reflect the diversity in the majority of North American Colleges and Universities today.
- Small class sizes result in individual attention. Current Student/Teacher ratio is 6-1.
Enrollment Procedure (Admissions)
Every student enrolling at GPA must:
- Complete an application form
- Meet English proficiency requirements (tests + oral interview)
- Provide health records and all records from previous schools
- Meet personally with administrative personnel
After all of the forms have been completed and submitted, school personnel will determine grade placement and classes best suited for the student.

After taking over the business in 2012, the new Norman's Dairy team sought to capture the rich texture and magnificent taste that exceeded the standard in the marketplace.
The Norman's Dairy journey...
Norman's made headlines with the first cholov yisroel Greek yogurt, developed at their very own state-of-the-art plant in Rutherford, NJ. In recognition of this achievement as well as arguably the best-tasting kosher yogurt, Norman's received Kosherfest's 'Best New Dairy Product Award' in 2013 for their classic Greek nonfat yogurt. What followed was a Cholov Yisroel yogurt revolution with the quick introduction of Greek Light, Creamy Blends, Kids, Stackers, and Pro+, not to mention regular yogurt as well, all thanks to Norman's creative research and development team.
Determined to swim against the tide and maintain their leadership position in the cholov yisroel market, Norman's is committed to innovation and advancement. This dedication to excellence is reflected in Norman's every move from the continual introduction of new products to the 'no artificial flavor and color' concept, the use of high-quality ingredients, the idea of yogurt toppings, user-friendly packaging, and vigilant quality control.
Norman's is proud of its leadership role and is committed to providing the best quality yogurt for your family! That's why our slogan rightfully reads: Really Good Yogurt! Enjoy!
