Five Top Appraisal Tips for Fantastic Results
Do you ever conduct appraisals with your team? These are generally annual events and can be incredibly beneficial for you, (the manager), and the employee. They give you the opportunity to give and receive feedback, motivate, develop and learn about your employee, so it's important to get them right. Unfortunately, far too often they're rushed, leaving both parties frustrated and with a feeling of "What was the point of that!"
If this is you…let me take you through these five top appraisal tips you need in order to conduct a Performance Appraisal with confidence.
Tip #1 – Ask Questions
Ask Questions throughout the meeting – Good open questions will encourage the discussion and the employee to talk and contribute. Use What, Where, Why, How, and When to keep the conversation going.
You can also use TED
- Tell Me
- Explain to Me
- Describe to Me
It's an excellent way of encouraging the conversation to flow throughout the meeting.
Tip #2 – Prepare for the Appraisal
Avoid having the meeting without preparing – Yes, preparation takes time, but it is definitely worth doing. It shows your employee that they matter and that you've taken the time to think about the meeting. So, always prepare before-hand. Think about what has gone well for the individual over the past 12 months, what could've been improved and where do they need support. Have a think about the feedback that they need, whilst remembering that it shouldn't be a surprise.
Tip #3 – What are the Benefits?
What's your WHY? – Yes, you probably have to conduct the appraisal as part of your role, but have a think about the benefits before-hand. Why do we need to do them? How will it benefit you as the manager? How will it add value to your employee? Appraisals give you the opportunity to sit down on a 1-1 basis with your team member. This may not always be possible day to day.
Tip #4 – Talk Freely
Remember there's someone else in the room – Don't be the manager that doesn't look up from the appraisal form and just works their way through it from beginning to end without thinking about the employee. It is their appraisal so talk to them about it.
Tip #5 – Listen
Listen – By listening to your employee you are instantly making them feel valued, special, and respected. Not only is it a great motivator but it's a fantastic way to learn. Focus on the individual and really listen to what they're saying.

Here in the Ohio Valley, we are waiting for 2016's version of Snowmagedon, complete with snow, ice, bitter winds and court cancellations. HURRAH! I've got a book on tape I've been listening to while traveling — The 100 Year Old Man Who Climbed Out A Window by by Jonas Jonasson — and several books on the read in my hands: No Mud, No Lotus by Thich Nhat Hanh, White Teeth by Zadie Smith, and Written in my Own Heart's Blood, an Outlander novel by Diana Gabaldon.
I've got my grandmother's potato soup cooking in a pot, some leftover turkey and black bean chili in the refrigerator and thinking about putting together some oatmeal and chocolate chip cookies, just in case things get desperate. And yes, a couple bottles of red wine.
What are you reading this weekend? If you need a suggestion . . . or a recipe . . . I don't mind sharing.
Black Chalk by Christopher J. Yates. Shades of The Secret History as a gang of school friends embarks on a series of increasingly volatile games. The tension is hot enough to keep you warm. It's available on Kindle so you can download it immediately. http://www.amazon.com/Black-Chalk-Christopher-J-Yates-ebook/dp/B00OXDVPXQ/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1453411456&sr=8-1
An Italian Affair by Laura Fraser. Molto bene, Laura Fraser takes us on her real-life, personal journey falling in love in Italy. The landscape is gorgeous, the food is great, the romance is juicy. And Laura's a great writer. I had the pleasure of taking a class from her at the San Miguel Writers' Conference last February and would love to go on one of her writing excursions. Also available in kindle edition. http://www.amazon.com/Italian-Affair-Laura-Fraser-ebook/dp/B000QCS9KA/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1453411662&sr=8-1
The Lost Painting by Jonathan Harr. A true life mystery of recovering a lost Caravaggio. "Jonathan Harr has taken the story of the lost painting, and woven from it a deeply moving narrative about history, art and taste–and about the greed, envy, covetousness and professional jealousy of people who fall prey to obsession. It is as perfect a work of narrative nonfiction as you could ever hope to read." —The Economist Also available on Kindle. http://www.amazon.com/Lost-Painting-Jonathan-Harr-ebook/dp/B000FCKGMK/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1453412051&sr=8-1
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. Want to lose yourself in a weepy love story? Read the book. Then watch the movie. Then pick up your old Riverside Shakespeare from college and read Romeo & Juliet. Kleenex necessary.
Any of Peter Mayle's Provence books. Under the Tuscan Sun by Frances Mayes. The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion. Or pull out one of those classics you sort of read in college moldering on your bookshelf: Vanity Fair (Thackery), The Grapes of Wrath (Steinbeck), Oliver Twist (Dickens). Whatever it is, I'd love to know what you're reading.
Stay warm.

Teaching music and English
Where: San Cristobal island, Galapagos
When: May 2017
Duration: 2 weeks
Tour operator: Projects Abroad, Creative & Performing Arts Programme
It was a great privilege to be have been part of the volunteer team in such a special place as the Galapagos. Being hosted by a local family, I really felt part of the community and even though I was only there for two weeks it quickly became like home. Sadly this programme is no longer available, but there are plenty of others to choose from.
I am sitting here writing this volunteer story at home looking out of the window at the swirling snow, thinking it couldn't be more different from when I stepped off the plane on the sunny island of San Cristobal in the Galapagos. I was actually two thirds of the way through my 2017 round-the-world-trip, and really excited about my two-week volunteer placement with Projects Abroad.
Why I decided to volunteer in Ecuador
Having been to Peru a few years earlier I had wanted to fit in Ecuador as well but there wasn't enough time, so when I found the Creative & Performing Arts programme it was like it was meant to be. Music has been a lifelong hobby; I started learning the flute at an early age and studied music at undergrad and post-graduate level. Music and performing is very much still part of my life so I was looking forward to being part of the Galapagos project to spend time with the local people, learn about the history and way of life on the islands and to share my knowledge with the community.
First impressions of San Cristobal
Meeting me at the airport was a friendly Projects Abroad staff member, we got into a Toyota pick-up (which I soon learned was the favoured vehicle for taxi drivers on the island) and 5 minutes later we arrived at my host family's house where I was warmly welcomed and shown my room. She then took me out for an orientation tour where I marveled at the sea lions who wandered up and down the promenade and sat on the benches, and of course congregated on the beaches around Playa do Oro and the other beaches in the vicinity.
The actual town of San Cristobal is very small and logically laid out so you can't really get lost, and everyone we met was very friendly and I soon felt at home. Arriving back at the house my house mate, and fellow musician, invited me to go down to Playa Mann to meet some of the other volunteers to watch the sunset. It was a Sunday, and therefore no work, so I got to meet most of the volunteers I would spend the next two weeks with. As I watched the sea lions playing in the sea as the sun went down I knew I would enjoy my time here.
My work on the Project
I had met with William, the director, on my arrival day – Sunday – prior to the orientation tour and he had given me an overview about Projects Abroad and my work on the project. The next day I was up bright and early and another member of staff took me to the school opposite Playa Mann beach, where I would spend the mornings with the music teacher doing a full school day from 7.15am to 12.35pm.
As I don't speak Spanish, my Projects Abroad colleague was invaluable in translating things like the songs we sang, and she stayed with me for the first couple of days. She was really friendly, supportive and encouraging and I appreciated her kind help as I navigated my way around, and taught the recorder to enthusiastic and sometimes very boisterous students! I also assisted the English teacher for a couple of days and ended up taking a Year 1 class on my own, which was slightly chaotic but fun.
The afternoons found me at the office working with my housemate (who spoke Spanish) and another volunteer teaching English to a small group of 4-5 year olds, and then doing an art activity with them following on from what we'd covered in the English lesson. For example, one lesson was teaching them Z and words beginning with Z i.e. zebra, and then we went into the art room and made pictures of Zebras.
It was quite challenging at times but also rewarding when we'd had a successful creative afternoon. My housemate and I were leaving on the same day, and after she had explained that the following day would be our last one of them sat down and drew a lovely picture of us all having a goodbye party with balloons and even a piñata! I was quite sad to say goodbye to them all.
The volunteer community and my host family
The host family I stayed with were amazing and it really felt like it was a home from home. The home-cooked meals were simple yet scrumptious and we sat round as a family and ate together for lunch and dinner, and in the evenings they helped us with our Spanish and we helped them with their English homework.
At the weekend my housemate visited another island so our host father took me out on his scooter and we visited the highlights of San Cristobal such as La Galapaguera, the giant tortoise sanctuary, some of the amazing viewpoints and a pristine beach called Puerto Chino (where I could have happily spent the rest of the day) and then went back to his farm for a rustic lunch and to admire his orange trees and very noisy pigs!
The other volunteers were also very friendly and we used to meet up most days after work at one of the restaurant on the sea front for a coffee or a beer, and sometimes played pool and had a cocktail or two in one of the bars. There were also opportunities to visit the bakery to sample the cakes and also treat ourselves to ice cream once in a while!
As we were on a variety of different projects the Projects Abroad team also encouraged us to get together by organising social events, one of which was a 'cultural' evening held at the house where the Conservation volunteers lived.
I was asked to play something at the cultural evening but I had no music and the only instrument I had was a Nepalese wooden flute I had bought in Kathmandu to present as a gift to Projects Abroad. I felt I wanted to contribute so one evening I composed a piece of music, drawing on my Galapagos experiences, and performed it on the Nepalese flute. My housemate also performed on her Trumpet, a dance volunteer treated us to some ballet and one of the staff who sang a couple of songs. It was an evening I will never forget!
Beyond the Galapagos
My time on San Cristobal was very special and I wished I could have stayed there longer. Now that I have experience of volunteering for Projects Abroad it has inspired me to do more, and I've already signed up for my 2018 adventure: a Journalism project in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia!

October 16, 2020
Friday, April 12, 2013
ALACHUA – Today, Governor Rick Scott announced that Nanotherapeutics, Inc., a privately held biopharmaceutical company based in the City of Alachua, will create 150 jobs at a manufacturing facility to be built as a result of a biodefense contract awarded last month by the Department of Defense. The company also will retain 45 positions, offer an average annual wage of $90,000 for these positions, and make a capital investment of $127 million.
Governor Scott said, "Thanks in part to the great STEM and business-support resources that UF provides to the region, Nanotherapeutics is going to create 150 jobs for families in Alachua. We've worked to cut taxes and pay down debt, and this year my Florida Families First Budget provides an additional $15 million to UF to achieve top 10 national status, which will foster more job growth for families throughout Florida. Through these strategies, we've created nearly 300,000 private sector jobs for families across the Sunshine State. We'll continue working to provide families with more jobs and opportunities, so every Florida family can pursue the American Dream."
Florida was able to provide Nanotherapeutics with resources to ensure its continuing growth in our state. This is a victory for the families and communities that will be served by this company's investment and the new jobs that are coming with its expansion."
The overall contract was awarded for $135 million, with additional options included that could bring the total award to $358 million. The funding is to be used to establish a Medical Countermeasures Advanced Development and Manufacturing (MCM ADM) capability for the Department of Defense (DOD). This will enable faster and more effective development of medical countermeasures to protect and treat military populations against chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear attacks and outbreaks of naturally occurring emerging and genetically engineering infectious diseases.
"The Innovation Gainesville (iG) economic development plan clearly identifies the life sciences as a top opportunity for job growth," said John Carlson, chairman of the Council for Economic Outreach. "Nanotherapeutics' brings that opportunity to reality and demonstrates that we are committed to growing jobs, growing companies and growing opportunities right here in Alachua County."
"The City of Alachua is always ready to respond to the needs of businesses," said Mayor Gib Coerper. "We are so proud that our local start-up Nanotherapeutics will expand their company in Alachua and will be serving our country in a special way, providing this type of product to our military and others. We thank the leadership of the company for making an investment in our community."
"It is so exciting to see the success and expansion of a local company," said Lee Pinkoson, Vice-Chair of the Alachua Board of County Commissioners. "Alachua County is pleased to be a government partner and we look forward to the new jobs and manufacturing opportunity that this project creates."
"Nanotherapeutics' decision to move forward in Alachua demonstrates that Florida's wide diversity of communities is a competitive strength regardless of their size and population. We provide a business climate that encourages companies to expand and create jobs here, said Florida Secretary of Commerce Gray Swoope, who serves as president & CEO of Enterprise Florida Inc., the state's lead economic development organization."
The contract was granted to Nanotherapeutics, as the prime contractor, and its industry partners after a highly competitive bid process. The ultimate goal for the award is to reduce the overall time and cost associated with the development and manufacturing of Food and Drug Administration approved Medical Counter Measures.
Headquartered in Alachua and currently operating in Progress Corporate Park, Nanotherapeutics began as a start-up in the Sid Martin Biotechnology Incubator. Nanotherapeutics will integrate into a new state-of-the-art facility flexible, single use, disposable equipment that can provide our military's national security requirements for Medical Counter Measures now and in the foreseeable future.
Nanotherapeutics has assembled a world class team of partners from throughout the United States to apply new biomanufacturing technologies with existing manufacturing capabilities for small molecule and biologic products that will provide the DOD with the ability to rapidly respond to chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear attacks and outbreaks of naturally occurring emerging and genetically engineered infectious diseases.

Repurposed Jewelry Heart
I glued a colorful collection of recycled jewelry on a wooden heart and "framed" it with a pearl necklace. The heart is glued on a wooden, vintage type board. Since I use only old, recycled jewelry, some of the pieces might have irregularity or missing beads which I replace with something else. The board measures 8 x 12 inches. Please handle with care, it's fragile.

SLM®280 Production Series
Robust, High-Performance System for Series Production
Third-generation metal 3D printing with closed-loop powder handling
The third-generation SLM®280 Production Series machine integrates features focused on consistent, high-performance selective laser melting production available with several configurations: single (1x 400W or 1x 700W), dual (1x 700W and 1x 1000W) or twin (2x 400W or 2x 700W) optics. Achieve greater component quality for complex, delicate, yet fast part build in a dedicated material.
Full contact-less material handling is available with the PSV sieve to automatically transport powder between sieve and the SLM® machine via vacuum technology. A 90-liter tank sufficient for any production process eliminates the need to fill powder via individual bottles. An integrated ultrasonic sieve processes powder just before feeding it to the machine, ensuring no oversized particles or foreign objects find their way into the SLM® process.
Ideal for Volume Production and Large Prototype Applications
Fast, safe metal 3D printing with proven process stability
Ideal for medium to high volume metal part production and prototypes, the robust second generation SLM®280 2.0 selective laser melting system offers a 280 x 280 x 365 mm build envelope and patented multi-beam laser technology with up to two fiber lasers exposing the build field via a 3D scan optic. Multi-laser systems can achieve build rates 80% faster than a single laser, and patented bi-directional powder recoating minimizes manufacturing time by reducing the number of passes required to lay fresh powder during a build.
Outfitted with a standard PSM powder sieve, overflow bottles transfer material between sieve and machine reducing operator contact with loose powder. PSM sieves and powder change kits allow users material flexibility while maintaining powder quality in an inert atmosphere.

Who sees the "7pace Timetracker Free Trial" countdown, the "Why am I seeing this?" link, along with the "Buy Now" option ribbon in 7pace Timetracker?
You are seeing this link because you are a project collection administrator. Only project collection administrators can see this "7pace Timetracker Free Trial" countdown and the "Buy Now" option. You must be a project collection administrator to purchase 7pace Timetracker.
Non-admin users of 7pace Timetracker will not see this "7pace Timetracker Free Trial" notification bar, the "Why am I seeing this?" link or the "Buy Now" button. Non-admin users also don't have access to the "Subscription" page of 7pace Timetracker.
When a trial subscription is created, all regular DevOps users will see the "Time" tab (now displaying as "7pace Timetracker) and are set to the "Default" role, which is automatically set to "Team" permissions. As an administrator, you can change this default role and any specific users on your team to unique roles under Settings -> User Management.
If an administrator wants to restrict access to 7pace Timetracker for certain users, those users can be assigned the role of "None". On-prem DevOps Server users will then still see the "Time" tab, but will only see a "This door is locked" message on any page within 7pace Timetracker. Cloud-based DevOps Services users set to "None" will not see the "Time" (or "7pace Timetracker") tab or any 7pace Timetracker pages.

British-trained horses ran outside their homeland on more than 1,000 occasions in a calendar year for the first time in 2014. The previous record was the 920 foreign starts achieved in 2011.
In comparison to some other European countries, the annual figure of 1,003 overseas raids is unremarkable. Germany has regularly been racking up totals of nearer 2,000 runners in France alone over the past five years, while both Spain and Belgium, two nations with miniscule racehorse populations compared to Britain, have both accumulated annual French tallies reaching into four figures.
But analogies with continental European countries are misleading since Germany, Spain, and Belgium all have lengthy land borders with France while, being an island nation, any British overseas runners require more taxing journeys by sea (or Channel Tunnel) or air.
By far the biggest target for these foreign raids was France. This should come as no great surprise owing to the riches on offer on the other side of the Channel – in 2013 (the most recent year available) France staged only 7,146 flat and jump races, 70 percent of the 10,146 figure in Britain, yet the total prize money paid out in France was double that of its neighbour.
However, France has not always been the most popular destination. As recently as 2008, there were only 212 British sorties to France and British trainers saddled more runners in Ireland (224) than France.
Despite the growth in overall runners, the 2014 overseas prize money total of £17.9 million was some way short of a record – it was the third biggest tally behind 2009 (£24.6 million) and 2010 (£20 million).
Those bumper totals were inflated by the weakness of the pound during that period, especially in 2009, when each pound sterling gained you just $1.44 or €1.03 – the equivalent figures for 2014 were $1.66 and €1.20.
One remarkable aspect of the 2014 figures is the success rate for British shippers to Canada. Only seven horses made the transatlantic journey to Toronto, but five returned triumphant (all in races worth CAD$300,000 or more) and the other two pocketed tidy place cheques, meaning that each Thoroughbred visitor earned an average of £161,120.
On a broader North American note, there has, surprisingly, been little numerical change in the number of British competitors over recent years – the 2014 figure of 30 U.S./Canadian runners is just two more than was achieved in the first year of the new century.
This stagnation also applies when all European-trained horses coming to race in North America are taken into account, which mainly entails adding in horses from France and Ireland. In 2014, this ran to 64 transatlantic sorties, compared with the only marginally smaller figure of 62 European visitors way back in 1995.
Even recent innovations such as the offer of a $40,000 travel subsidy for all European runners at the Breeders' Cup and the inauguration of Belmont Park's rich Stars And Stripes Festival have, as yet, failed to inspire an overall boost in numbers.
The top of the trainer's table for British earnings abroad has an unfamiliar look, with Kevin Ryan, Jamie Osborne, and William Haggas filling the first three positions. Neither Ryan nor Osborne, who respectively owed their places to the exploits of a single horse (The Grey Gatsby and Toast Of New York), had ever figured prominently in this list before.
And Haggas had only ever sneaked into the final berth in the list's top 10 on two occasions, so all three registered big "career bests."
The country-by-country earnings list again underlines the sad demise of that once great racing nation, Italy.
Just 20 years ago, Britain dispatched no less than 151 runners on the 2,200-mile round trip to Italy during a calendar year, and for three seasons in the mid 1990s, Italy was the largest individual contributor to its overseas earnings coffers – in 1997 invaders from Britain scooped £2.64 million in prize money there.
Yet the organisation of racing in Italy has, in common with so much of that country's government, at times been chaotic and it reached a nadir when some prize money owed to British connections from autumn 2012 took over 18 months to be paid.
Discouraged by the prospect of a lengthy wait for their rewards, together with the demotion from G1 level of races such as the Italian Derby and Oaks, British trainers have understandably been less than keen to make the long journey. Hence just five Italian raids in 2013 and a mere two in 2014, when not a single solitary cent was earned there throughout the entire year.
Italy has, for the time being at least, staved off the threat of the loss of Group race status by demonstrating its ability to pay prize money promptly, so British visits may start to become more frequent, although it is hard to imagine them returning to their former magnitude.

MOSCOW -- On Monday, everyone had to take Boris N. Yeltsin seriously because he had just been invited by Mikhail S. Gorbachev to sit in on a summit session with President Bush.
Yesterday, everyone really had to take Mr. Yeltsin seriously -- when he one-upped Mr. Gorbachev by not bothering to appear.
Mr. Gorbachev was playing the role of the conciliator by inviting the Russian president and portraying himself as above any petty squabbles the two might sometimes have.
Last night, Mr. Yeltsin said he saw the invitation somewhat differently -- as a chance for Mr. Gorbachev to use him as a convenient piece of window dressing.
"I believe this is something which dates back to the past traditions of the period of stagnation," Mr. Yeltsin said, referring to the era of Leonid I. Brezhnev's rule, "when we had mass audiences. Well, I don't think I fit into a voiceless mass audience."
Mr. Yeltsin, the most popular politician in the Soviet Union, has been holding himself up to the world as the leader of a major country -- the 150-million-strong Russian Federation -- ever since he was elected that republic's president by a landslide in June.
"Mr. Gorbachev meets with many delegations, and I don't feel I'm obliged to be a part of those negotiations," he told Cable News Network, "because those delegations also meet with me."
Indeed, Mr. Yeltsin already had an invitation to meet with Mr. Bush alone yesterday afternoon, and he did appear for that appointment. What he skipped was a lunch with the U.S. president, the Soviet president and Nursultan Nazarbayev, the president of Kazakhstan.
Mr. Bush, caught in the middle, commented only that he was glad to meet the Russian president because Mr. Yeltsin's visit to the United States right after his election had been "a big hit."
Spokesman Marlin Fitzwater said that Mr. Bush "is pursuing the need to establish better relations with the republics. This is not a choice between the center and the republics," he said.
Vitaly Ignatenko, Mr. Gorbachev's spokesman, would only say, somewhat cryptically, that Mr. Yeltsin and Mr. Gorbachev had met Monday night and agreed that the meeting with Mr. Bush would happen the way it did.
Mr. Yeltsin said it was appropriate for him to meet Mr. Bush on an equal footing because "we are beginning to have direct contacts between Russia and the United States."
He also pointed out that he and Mr. Bush have the same policy toward the Baltic republics -- that they should be granted independence -- while Mr. Gorbachev is resisting their secession.
But Mr. Gorbachev may not have been entirely unhappy with his Monday night meeting with the head of the largest Soviet republic. At 3 a.m. yesterday, according to Mr. Yeltsin's spokesman, the two reached an agreement that could seal the new treaty binding the republics of the Soviet Union together.
Twice before, one side or the other has announced that an agreement was reached; both times, holes appeared over the issue of taxation.
Mr. Gorbachev wanted the central government to retain the power to tax, saying that it would not be much of a government otherwise. Mr. Yeltsin and the Ukrainian president, Leonid Kravchuk, wanted to give sole powers of taxation to the republics, which would then contribute funds to the central government as they saw fit.
Under the reported compromise, the republics would control the system of taxation but would pass along a fixed percentage to the central government.
The new treaty would presumably head off a plan reported by the Moscow newspaper Kommersant under which the 15 republics decided among themselves to split up both the Soviet Union's currency, gold and diamond reserves, and its $65 billion foreign debt. That plan, reported Monday, was already sinking out of sight yesterday as a bright idea that was utterly lacking in any mechanism for carrying it out.
That Mr. Gorbachev still would be up at 3 a.m. haggling with Mr. Yeltsin on the eve of his summit with Mr. Bush -- long after Mr. Bush had arrived in Moscow -- demonstrates just how much importance he places in securing a new charter for the Soviet Union -- important enough, even, that his spokesman, Mr. Ignatenko, seemed willing to shrug off Mr. Yeltsin's standing up his boss in front of the whole world just nine hours later.

Providing Timely Textbook Information as Required by Federal Law
Dear Colleagues,
I am writing to remind you that textbook information for the summer term must be submitted to the KU Bookstores by April 1st. Textbook information for the fall semester must be submitted to the KU Bookstores by May 1st.
The intent of the 2010 Higher Education Opportunity Act is to ensure students have access to affordable course materials by decreasing costs to students and enhancing transparency and disclosure with respect to the selection, purchase, sale, and use of course materials. We encourage all instructors to identify ways to decrease the cost of college textbooks and supplemental materials for students while supporting the academic freedom of faculty members to select high quality course materials for students. Some items to consider before submitting such requests are:
- Check the price: Either through independent research, by inquiring with KU Bookstore staff, or from publisher representatives involved in the process. It is worth noting that publisher representation often reference the "net" price to faculty, which references the new book cost to the KU Bookstore, which will differ from the retail price.
- Check the edition: If a new edition has become available, ask yourself if updates to the content are significant enough to necessitate such an update to your request. There is a high likelihood the KU Bookstore either has or can easily obtain older editions at a dramatically reduced cost to the student. Students may also have more cost effective options when searching the online marketplace independently.
- Review Open Educational Resources (OER) Options: Is there freely accessible and open licensed content available that fits within your instructional framework?
- Unbundling the textbook: While reviewing your content submission, especially content that is bundled with additional items (traditionally recommended from publisher representation as a means of cost reduction), consider how necessary each component is for the students and your course. There are many unique adaptive learning tools that are extremely valued, however if an added item isn't truly necessary, but is simply thrown in with a textbook, we can unbundle the textbooks for that reason. This will allow students the freedom to obtain used books from their campus bookstore, the online marketplace, perhaps rent the book, and even sell the book back, passing along cost savings to future students.
See our own Doug Ward's comments on these topics in this article in The Chronicle.
The KU Bookstores, as an affiliate of the university, has assumed responsibility for providing online textbook pricing information for the university. In order for the KU Bookstores to provide this information to students, you must submit text book information by the deadlines listed above.
Textbook adoptions must be provided to the KU Bookstores, even if you do not intend to order course materials through them, so that the information about required textbooks and supplemental materials will appear in the official online requirement listings on KU Bookstore's website, which also has a direct link from Enroll & Pay, as required by this law. Please also list any additional supplies that you will require the student to purchase for each class including clickers, goggles, lab coats, or supplies and reference packs. If you are not using such materials for your class, the form must still be submitted, indicating there are no required readings or supplies for the course.
The KU Bookstore offers three ways for you to submit your course materials needs. You may complete the online requisition form, email requests to firstname.lastname@example.com, or use the customized course link included in the automated reminder emails from the KU Bookstores.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call one of the following individuals:
Textbook Department:
Kylee Clendenen, Course Materials Buyer – firstname.lastname@example.com – 864-2477
Course Materials Buyer – email@example.com – 864-2484
Leah Kohlman, Course Materials Requisitions Specialist – email@example.com – 864-4142
Kyle Whitley, Book Division Manager – firstname.lastname@example.com – 864-4658
James Rourke, Assistant Director, Academic Resources – firstname.lastname@example.com – 864-2478
For any questions regarding Custom Printing, or Course-packs contact:
Rachel Barnes, Print Production Manager (Jayhawk Ink) – email@example.com – 864-2470
For any questions regarding Open Educational Resources contact:
Ada Emmett, Head of the David Shulenburger Office of Scholarly Communication & Copyright – email@example.com – 864-8831
I am aware this law may require some faculty members to move up their usual timelines for submitting orders for course readings and supplemental materials. The intent of the legislation is to give students the best information available about comparative pricing. I know we all share the goal of helping students stretch their textbook dollars as far as possible and increasing access and affordability for all students.
Thank you for your assistance in carrying out this responsibility.

Commissioner of Elections Mahinda Deshapriya states that the registration of 3 political parties which are in an inert state may be cancelled.
This development had come to light during a meeting which had taken place at the Elections Secretariat yesterday with the participation of the secretaries of all political parties.
Political parties which have been diagnosed with defects have been granted a grace period until the end of this month to redress their defects.
Meanwhile the Commissioner of Elections states that polls at 8 pradeshiya sabha's including the Batticaloa Municipal Council which was postponed earlier will not be hosted prior to the 17th of March due to the enactment of the revised local government act which came into effect from the 1st of January this year.
Accordingly the Elections Commissioner added that since jurisdictions of local governments have not been demarcated under the act, he did not possess
the required legal provisions in order to host elections prior to the 17th of March at the afore mentioned 9 local government institutions.

Finding WGS-related courses in other codes
There are several ways to find more courses outside of the WGS code that you can use to count for your major or minor. Here are a few pointers. As always, please contact us with any questions.
Use the Group-Satisfying list to filter by keyword
The registrar maintains a list of courses that satisfy group requirements/general ed requirements called the group satisfying list. It is linked on the class schedule page.
Scroll down until you see the table with class names. Use the search field on top of it to filter by keywords. Suggestions: 'Gender', 'Sexuality', 'Queer', and etc. This should help you start your search; you can investigate more about each course that sounds interesting to you by finding it in the class schedule or on the course catalog, the master list of all UO courses.
Note that since these are just courses that satisfy group requirements, it may exclude some courses.
Check our "Courses in Other Codes" List
We try to keep the courses in other codes list updated with cross-listed courses that students have found each term. It is to be considered a historical record but also a work in progress.
Browse classes in your other major or minor
Gender studies, queer studies and feminism are interdisciplinary by nature. You will find many other fields incorporate them into other classes. Check the schedule or course catalog for your major and look for courses that mention gender, sexuality, feminism or women in the title.
If you see or hear about a class that sounds like it should count for WGS credit, check our website and our class schedule to see if we are already aware of it. If not, email us! It is difficult to keep tabs on every class and to list them all on our schedule.

Women Name Body Shapes After Famous Artists
Women Name Body Shapes After Artists, Not Apples and Pears
Women in Australia have decided to stop comparing their bodies to inanimate fruit. Instead, they're naming their shapes after artists who celebrate the female figure — like Leonardo da Vinci and Peter Paul Rubens. One lingerie model putting the change on display explained: "I was a pear, but now I'm a Matisse. Matisse always painted such beautiful women." Da Vinci represents a straight up and down shape, and Rembrandt denotes a full bust and bottom.
A body image expert conceded that classifying women's bodies typically presents problems, but "these categories let women know that all types of body shapes have been around for a long time and have been considered beautiful by artists throughout history." Find out more in the news report above. Do you think it's a positive change?

The new Muslim mayor of London has issued a warning to Donald Trump: Moderate your stance on Muslims, or they will launch more attacks against America.Trump recently praised Sadiq Khan for winning London's mayoral race, and said he would be willing to create an exception in his policy restricting Muslim entry into the United States in order to allow Khan to visit. But in a statement Tuesday, Khan dismissed Trump's invitation, and also denounced his views on Islam as "ignorant," suggesting Trump's policies would increase the terrorist threat in both the U.S. and U.K. (RELATED: Khan Rejects Trump's Invitation, Endorses Hillary)"Donald Trump's ignorant view of Islam could make both of our countries less safe – it risks alienating mainstream Muslims around the world and plays into the hands of extremists," he said. "Donald Trump and those around him think that Western liberal values are incompatible with mainstream Islam – London has proved him wrong."While Khan touted the liberal values of British Muslims, some polls have found worrying indicators that their assimilation is incomplete. A poll in April, for instance, found that two-thirds of British Muslims would not tell the government if a friend or family member became involved with extremists. Half of them said homosexuality should be illegal and over 20 percent supported establishing sharia in the U.K.Read more: http://dailycaller.com/2016/05/10/london.../#ixzz48LmFAEv2*************Yeah right, let's start up a dialogue with these guys to let more of them into our Country.

Zitat"Donald Trump and those around him think that Western liberal values are incompatible with mainstream Islam – London has proved him wrong."
Your election, doofus, proves nothing about the compatibility of Islam with Western liberal values. Rather, it proves the superiority of those values since they allowed even you to be elected.
The progressives / statists who would rule over us on a global level and Islamists who would institute a global caliphate under sharia are natural allies whose political systems consist of big, intrusive, micro-managing government ruled by teams of bureaucrats / technocrat / specialists. Islam has a religious component. Pretending that Islam is only a religion has given it the perfect cover to infiltrate the West.In the early 1900's those working toward destroying the US and Western culture made a few shrewd moves. The Nazis and the Soviets sent lots of $$$$ and agents into the Middle East in order to resurrect violent Jihad. There are documented links among Global Communism, Nazism, the New World Order (Globalism), and the resurrection of Militant Islam in the early 1900's.As Britain and France ended the colonial era and powers freed their territories in the Middle East they created country with artificial borders. These countries required strong men to keep order. The recent toppling of secular strong men that kept order, created a massive stream of unvetted refugees being used to further the destruction of western culture.
Illegitimi non Carborundum During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
London has really fallen. How long before sharia calls to have all historical sites in London taken out?

- Abstract:
- Latency during handoffs affects the service quality of real-time applications. Mobile IP (MIP) presents the standard mobility management protocol. However, Mobile IP is not adequate for delay sensitive applications. Mobile IP Fast Authentication protocol (MIFA) is proposed to avoid the problems of Mobile IP and to match the requirements of real-time applications. In this paper we present an analytical model to evaluate the performance of MIFA. Our performance study shows that the handoff latency of MIFA is independent of the distance between the current FA and the HA. Thus, MIFA highly reduces the handoff latency for most cases. MIFA clearly outperforms Mobile IP (MIP) with respect to the handoff latency and the number of packets dropped due to handoffs Bibtex

USADA, UCI support notion of amnesty for riders coming clean on doping
UCI president Pat McQuaid says his organization would "do well" to introduce an amnesty program.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado (VN) — The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency has announced its support for the Union Cycliste Internationale's proposal of protections for riders looking to come clean of past doping sins.
On Friday, UCI president Pat McQuaid told The Associated Press that he thought there was "room" for amnesty for those who come forward and that the UCI would "do well" to introduce such a program.
"It's a subject I will bring up myself at the management committee of the UCI and it's something which we would look into possibly doing," he told the news agency.
"It would need to be examined as to how it could be introduced, what would be the parameters of it, what would be the framework in which it's worked, what would be the results afterwards. We have to work in the world anti-doping rules and sanctions."
USADA would support such a program, and in fact called for one in a letter to McQuaid dated July 26.
"We're glad they are open to the idea which, under the right structure, is the solution to truly cleaning up the sport," USADA CEO Travis Tygart told VeloNews on Saturday.
In its letter to the UCI, USADA called for what its general counsel William Bock labeled a "truth and reconciliation commission," and noted it was the only way to "clean up the sport of cycling once and for all."
"As previously noted, in recent history, doping in cycling has been epidemic. Many of the same individuals who were involved in that epidemic are still entrenched in the sport," the USADA letter reads. "That is why the cases against Messrs. Bruyneel and Marti and Drs. Celaya, del Moral and Ferrari, who were involved with doping cyclists in the past and are still working with cyclists, are particularly important.
"If UCI is truly interested in setting up a special panel to deal with doping, it should not be for one case, rather UCI should ask WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) to establish an independent body akin to a truth and reconciliation commission, where the skeletons of doping in cycling can all come out of the closet, the many cyclists who have doped can come clean, and cycling can go forward with a fresh start."

A campaign by the Lake District's Hoteliers Association (LDHA) has been given a helping hand by Fjallraven with the brand announced as an official sponsor of this winter's promotion – Reveal the Real Lake District. The campaign aims to highlight to visitors that the Lake District remains well and truly open for business following 2015's floods. A brand that feels true affinity to this outdoor-enthusiasts' stomping ground, Fjallraven is delighted to step up and support the campaign with several exciting marketing initiatives.
A true hub for outdoor-lovers, the Lakes are widely renowned for their breathtaking fells, charming towns and stunning vistas. A joint campaign by over 50 of the area's hotels and attractions, the LDHA's Reveal the Real Lake District campaign will see many of the region's private businesses working together to spread the word about what the Lake District has to offer. As an official sponsor of the campaign, Fjallraven has offered the LDHA extensive support in the form of several different promotional activities.
As well as providing each of the LDHA's participating hotels and attractions one of its iconic Kånken daypacks to give away to guests, Fjallraven has also agreed to offer one overall winner the chance to spend a day out on the hills with its brand ambassador and renowned mountaineer, Alan Hinkes OBE. Although a true Yorkshire man at heart, Alan has an equally soft spot for the Lakeland hills and boasts outstanding knowledge and experience of the area.
To help the campaign spread its message further afield, Fjallraven has also enlisted esteemed film-maker Terry Abraham to make some short videos of brand ambassador Alan out and about in popular Lake District spots. Aiming to highlight the many reasons to visit the area, the two leading outdoor personalities will shoot the videos while out on the hills together shooting Terry's forthcoming, Fjallraven-sponsored Alan Hinkes biopic.
Fjallraven UK's Managing Director, Ralph White, commented: "Fjallraven has gained such a bedrock of support from Lake District fell walkers and businesses alike that we're delighted to join in with this campaign to boost tourism in the area. One of the biggest things we're doing to help in this is producing some short films which will be filmed by acclaimed documentary film maker, Terry Abraham, and featuring our gear ambassador, Alan Hinkes. The message will be 'the Lakes are well and truly open for business this winter.'"

Contactless pickup and digital delivery services at Leddy Library are now available to all undergraduate students.
Leddy Library is implementing a new resource management system to create and manage online reading lists.
The Leddy Library is offering the campus community two ways to feel good about paying overdue library fines.
Heidi Jacobs will discuss her work on the Chatham Coloured All-Stars archive in a free public lecture April 25.
The Leddy Library will donate a portion of this semester's overdue fines to the Campus Food Bank, which serves students in need.
A reception Tuesday, March 20, will celebrate the accomplishments of UWindsor researchers.
There were no easy games for the Chatham Coloured All-Stars.
It's what Wilfred "Boomer" Harding recalled decades after his team was forced to overcome adversity both on and off the baseball diamond to become champions of the Ontario Baseball Amateur Association's Intermediate B-1 class in 1934.
That road to the championship game was onerous.
The Black baseball team travelled across the province to compete in games, often being denied accommodations and forced to continue driving in precarious conditions before eventually reaching a welcome refuge.
The Chimczuk Museum will celebrate Black History Month with free admission Thursday and the opening of a display by UWindsor researchers.
Voting has begun in the Leddy Library's annual research question competition.
The Leddy Library is hosting several presentations promoting greater access to research results in observance of Open Access Week.

Here are some of the things I learned via Twitter this past week.
I modified my use of Twitter favourites for my Friday's Finds selection this week. I switched my social bookmarking service from Delicious to Diigo and noticed that Diigo offered a method to save my favourites automatically. Instead of reviewing my favourites in Twitter, I went through the bookmarks on Diigo, deleting ones I no longer wanted to keep and updating and annotating those that I found more interesting. This redundancy will provide me with two ways to retrieve information, either from my blog or my bookmarks. It's not much more effort and I think it will make my bookmarks more useful.
A Baker's Dozen: Principles of Value Networks | ValueNetworks.com by @vernaallee
The true shape and nature of collaboration is not the social network – it is the value network. Value networks are purposeful groups of people who come together in designated roles to take action or produce an outcome. Only through the power of value networks can we address our complex issues – together – and create a more hopeful future.
Five surprising changes in 2010 by @lemire
We are replacing physical objects and processes by bits and software faster than I would have predicted at the beginning of the year. We are also becoming a civilization of autodidacts. Scholarship is being fundamentally reshaped under our noses without anyone noticing. I think that much of the establishment is greatly underestimating the amplitude and significance of these changes. The proof is how badly prepared the American government was with respect to Wikileaks.
Mark Federman: What is the (Next) Message?: Death of the Liberal Class
My own position (at the 4 minute point in the video) is simple to state: the constructs that gave us corporatism, capitalism, the liberal class, and modernity itself are now obsolesced, and we need a new framework in which to observe, theorize, understand, and undo the dysfunctions that we have clearly visited upon ourselves, and the wider world …
What is not acceptable in a contemporary context is the penchant of the fogey generation – men like Reihan Salam and Tony Keller – to continue to apply 19th and 20th century principles to the analysis of our 21st century reality.
My Three Words for 2011: Seek, Sense, and Share | Beth's Blog by @kanter
Jarche defines networked learning as "an individual, disciplined process by which we make sense of information, observations and ideas." He further suggests that networked learning is the solution (in part) to information overload (not the cause!). For networked learning to be beneficial, it requires an open attitude toward learning and finding new things. In addition, each person needs to develop individualized processes of filing, classifying and annotating digital information for later retrieval. His conceptual model include the three words: seek, sense, and share.
My sense is that becoming a master at networked learning helps you improve what you are doing in world that is changing so fast and is so complex.

MS, Elementary Bilingual Special EducationWhen Maria del Carmen Ponciano, an education administrator with degrees in psychology and sociology, became an adjunct instructor at Bronx Community College, it was her first time in front of a class. She enjoyed the experience so much that she changed her career plan and became a New York City Teaching Fellow.
Ms. Ponciano was assigned to City College to earn her masters in elementary bilingual special education while she taught at P.S. 64, an elementary school in the Highbridge section of the Bronx with a large Hispanic immigrant population. This month, she will graduate with a 3.98 GPA and membership in Kappa Delta Pi, the international education honor society.
"I see teaching as a union of my degrees in psychology (bachelors) and sociology (masters)," the resident of Elmhurst, Queens, says. "Sociology is still a factor because of the community issues and psychology because I'm a special education teacher."
An avid traveler who has already visited 15 countries, Ms. Ponciano, who was born in Spain but has lived in New York since she was one, says her journeys have helped her bring a global perspective into the classroom. "Teachers need to be global citizens. They have to have a good understanding of what's going on in the world as well as their immediate area."
Her teaching experience and training at CCNY have helped her develop perspective on what 21st century teachers must do to help their students succeed. "Education has to be about interaction between you and the student, the student and other students and the student and what he or she is learning. They have to be physically involved, and not just receiving information."
At City College, she has gained reinforcement of what she has learned first-hand teaching in the Bronx. "What's really been rewarding is the connections I've made with the professors," she says, "Each professor brings passion and determination to the classroom, and that further inspires me and makes me feel like I'm doing the right things."

Schools Test Impact of Blending Technology, Longer School Days
Combining the two practices seen as key
Students at Grant Beacon Middle School in Denver spend much of the school day in a blended learning scenario, using Chromebooks to access digital curricula and working face to face with their teachers. Students also have a longer school day—an extra hour that allows for more enrichment and electives.
A new guide for educators says the pairing of blended learning and an expanded school day—much like what is happening at Grant Beacon—hits the educational sweet spot, providing opportunities for better teacher collaboration, personalization of education, and student engagement.
The guide, "Supporting Student Success Through Time and Technology"—released last month by the National Center on Time & Learning, a research and advocacy organization based in Boston—aims to give policymakers ideas for how to combine extra learning time and better use of digital tools in smart, effective ways.
"We want schools to read this and realize this is something that is manageable, and to see how to avoid some of the pitfalls," said Roy Chan, the director of effective practices for the center and the author of the guide. "We also want schools to see that to do this well, it's not about how much technology you have or how big your technology budget is."
Benefits for Students
- Providing more opportunities for personalized learning
- Raising student engagement with high-quality core academic classes and enrichment
- Increasing preparation for college and careers
Benefits for Teachers
- Improving the quality of instruction with more time and tools to plan and deliver lessons
- Expanding opportunities for differentiation
- Boosting teacher efficacy and satisfaction
It's not always politically or financially easy, though, to extend school days. And despite the growing popularity of blended learning, studies have not definitively concluded that this method of combining online and face-to-face learning has a significant impact on student success.
Even so, Principal Alexander Magaña said the combined strategies of blended learning and extra time in class have resulted in improved student achievement at Grant Beacon.
"Everyone is always looking for the silver bullet," he said. "This ended up working for us."
Assessing Impact
The NCTL report highlights six schools—three charter schools and three regular public schools—that pair blended learning and extended learning, which was defined as 300 extra hours a year of school time. The case studies describe the technology used in the schools, the instructional models in place, and the software that's been effective.
Mr. Chan acknowledged that adding time to a school day—particularly in a regular public school—can be complicated "and a hard sell." A report also released last month, by the Washington-based Center on Education Policy, found that despite encouragement from the federal government to extend learning time, the policy was expensive, it caused fatigue for some students, and it was unclear whether the strategy had a positive impact on student outcomes.
Mr. Magaña said his longer school day came about as part of a pilot project that the 87,400-student Denver school district was trying out at a few schools. Some districts, such as the Boston and Chicago systems, have also implemented longer school days.
But a review by The Boston Globe earlier this year found that a pilot project to extend school hours in 38 of the Boston district's 128 schools yielded mixed results. Still, the 57,000-student school system is moving forward to increase the number of schools extending learning time to more than 50, at a cost of more than $12 million over the next three years.
Discipline Referrals Down
Educators at the 610-student Morton Middle School in Fall River, Mass., are in their second year of an initiative that combines extended time and blended learning. The school day is 90 minutes longer than the traditional day, with students in school from 7:15 a.m. to 3:45 p.m., and teachers are paid a stipend for their extra time, said Elizabeth Lewis, the instructional-technology facilitator at the school.
The school uses a "station rotation" model, in which students work in small groups—with a teacher, independently, and using technology—and then rotate to the next type of group. Morton has a moderate amount of technology—eight laptops per class, plus a school computer lab, Ms. Lewis said.
Since the initiative was launched, discipline referrals have gone down and more students are meeting district benchmarks, Ms. Lewis said. She said hard data, though, still do not show the techniques are having a significant impact on student learning.
Justin Reich, a fellow at Harvard University's Berkman Center for Internet and Society and the author of the EdTech Researcher blog on edweek.org, said he's glad to see "pockets of people experimenting with these ideas."
There's little evidence that either strategy is effective, Mr. Reich said, though there appears to be more indication that extended learning time may hold promise. Often, blended learning and extended learning time are implemented along with other measures, and it's difficult to tease out what may have had the most impact, he said.
Julia F. Freeland, a research fellow at the Clayton Christensen Institute for Disruptive Innovation, a San Mateo, Calif.-based think tank that studies blended learning, said the NCTL report does a good job highlighting schools that are actually doing the work of combining blended learning and extra time in school.
But she hopes the guide's emphasis on extending instructional time for all students doesn't get in the way of personalized learning approaches. She sees a future in which schools will offer extended learning time to all students as a choice rather than a requirement, but only the ones who need it the most will be likely to use it.
"We think schools are going to look a lot more like learning centers," Ms. Freeland said. "Some students won't need as high-touch of an experience as others, but the goal would be to have that center or school staffed for longer so students who need it are provided with that access. I don't want that potential vision to get lost."

Ratings and ReviewsSee All
Great App
I use this all the time for practicing guitar, not just for steady pace for chord changes, picking, etc but just as an approximate measure count when just trying to get repetition.
With both the guitar & horn it's also a great help to get objective feedback on my ability to speed up the pace with a passage as I get better.
Another neat trick that I'll need another for (my wife's) I will start 2 metronomes at once to get a better feel for how, for example, eighth notes & triplets sound together - helpful when another orchestra section is playing something different.
Using this app also increases my ability to use my ear for my surrounding while playing, to better play with others during rehearsals or performances.
Finally, this has many options, & for an amateur like me it's perfect. My ability to listen and play to what I hear, i think essential for anyone who wants to play with others, absolutely improves with this.
This app works wonderfully. I used it not only as a standard metronome, but also to help myself learn three against four rhythms as well as master the syncopation in a Gershwin piece I'm learning, using the different time signatures and the different levels of accent. The ability to select exactly which beats to accent (and/or be silent) as well the different note values is invaluable to me, and has really helped me overcome my difficulties with rhythm. The interface is easy to work with, and I love the feature which allows you to tap out the desired tempo. Everything needed is right at your fingertips; it is not hard at all to make any sort of adjustment to the settings, major or minor. (Also, fiddling with the background colors is fun!)
This app is the best metronome I have ever used, and I would definitely recommend it.
Still My Favorite Metronome App
As a percussionist, I collect metronomes and metronome apps. There are some great ones out there and some not-so-great ones out there. I really like Frozen Ape's, Tempo metronome the best for a no-nonsense, reliable, easy to use app that gets the job done exceptionally well. The simplicity of the app is brilliant, because it also has depth. Tempo 2 is more difficult to use, but may also have more "power", but for most uses Tempo gets the job done exceptionally well.
Every time I get a new metronome, I use it for awhile to see how I like it. So far, I keep coming back to Tempo. Also, Frozen Ape actually will occasionally send out updates to fix bugs or simplify a process. Great Job!
