Warsaw better than London?
On the 18th of July in London, Polish capital will be presenting its advantages. The President of Warsaw – Hanna Gronkiewicz – Waltz will attend an open meeting with the Polish community.
The meeting will take place within the framework of the project "12 Cities – Going back? But where? – Let's talk about facts ", of which the main organizer is the Association of Polish community in Great Britain – Poland Street. The conference combined with an open discussion with participants, will take place at 3pm at London's Novotel hotel in Hammersmith area.
The Capital's President, Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz will present development plans for the city in coming years and tell why Warsaw has the right to compete with London. The current situation on the labour and real estate markets in the city will be presented during the meeting.
There will also be talk about why the capital is an attractive place to set up own business. Available EU funds may help in the beginning of economic activity. These opportunities will be explained in detail by the Warsaw's City Hall representatives
Warsaw is also the biggest centre of culture in Poland – the place of important
theatres, museums, galleries and a number of prestigious festivals. The plan for the day will also include a deep presentation of "Cultural Warsaw".
Visitors from Warsaw will also inform about what you can do in the city after
working hours. All interested in participating in the meeting are requested to send their application to the address: firstname.lastname@example.com . On participation in the conference will decide the order of applications received.

Mickey Rourke was out for the count in Hollywood, but with his gutsy performance as a washed-up wrestler in, yes, The Wrestler he has bounced back from the ropes in triumph.
It's an astonishing comeback for Rourke, who spent so many years in the cinematic wilderness that it's hard to remember what a big star he used to be.
Back in the early 1980s, when he made his mark on screen with a string of electrifying performances, Body Heat, Diner and Rumble Fish turned him into a darling of the critics – he even charmed the notoriously spiky New Yorker critic Pauline Kael, who went into raptures over his performance in 1982's Diner: "He has a sweet, pure smile that surprises you. He seems to be acting to you, and to no one else."
A few years later, the blockbuster success of Adrian Lyne's steamy sex romp Nine ½ Weeks turned Rourke into a Hollywood superstar and fan pin-up. Then he threw it all away. He turned down roles in The Untouchables, Platoon and Silence of the Lambs, and, apparently, Bruce Willis's part in Pulp Fiction, appearing instead in such forgettable crud as Wild Orchid and Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man.
"'If Mickey had died after Angel Heart," Lyne once said, drawing a line at the actor's performance in Alan Parker's 1987 movie, "he would have been remembered as James Dean or Marlon Brando."
Rourke didn't die. He took up professional boxing.
Surprisingly, he didn't disgrace himself in the ring. He'd been a useful fighter in his youth, before taking up acting, and when he turned pro in 1991 he scored six wins, two draws, and no losses in his eight-fight career – until the prospect of brain damage forced him to quit. By then, though, he had wrecked his face. Four lots of reconstructive surgery later, his pretty-boy looks were gone for good.
On top of this, Rourke's marriage (his second) to his Wild Orchid co-star, Carré Otis ended messily in 1998 amid charges (later dropped) of spousal abuse. Ten years later, he is apparently still pining for his ex.
All this lends an almost heartbreaking poignancy to his role in The Wrestler, which resounds with autobiographical echoes. Like him, the character he plays in Darren Aronofsky's movie, Randy "the Ram" Robinson, is someone who was a big star in the 1980s and then fell spectacularly low.
In the 1980s, so we learn from the montage of images that opens the film, the Ram was headlining the bill at Madison Square Gardens. Twenty years later he lives in a trailer, works part time in a supermarket and wrestles at weekends before tiny audiences in high-school gyms and community centres.
Aronofsky captures the shabbiness of Randy's world with a raw documentary accuracy. For the first few minutes, the hand-held camera settles just behind Rourke's shoulder, exposing his ravaged body but initially concealing his features. When the camera swings round to look at his face, anyone who hasn't seen Rourke since his heyday will probably recoil in shock – his battered, lop-sided mug makes him look like a sibling of that weird Manhattan socialite, Jocelyn Wildenstein, whose plastic-surgery addiction led to her being dubbed "the Bride of Wildenstein".
For all the surgery he has undergone, Rourke is still an incredibly expressive actor and the desperate sadness of Randy's life seeps from every pore. Estranged from his daughter (played by Evan Rachel Wood), he has no one in his life, save for Marisa Tomei's ageing stripper, another performer past her best, and despite her fondness for him it's clear she's wary of intimacy.
But Randy still gets a buzz from his appearances in the ring and from the camaraderie of his fellow grapplers, and he seizes on the offer of a 20th anniversary rematch with his greatest adversary from the 80s, "the Ayatollah". In the meantime, he puts himself through a punishing regime of pumping weights and popping painkillers to keep his body in shape, and submits himself to brutal indignities in his wrestling bouts, not least from a staple-gun-wielding opponent (ouch!). Just because professional wrestling is a fake, it doesn't mean the pain isn't real.
Yet the degradation he experiences in the ring is nothing compared with the humiliations he endures on the outside. Obliged to work on the supermarket's deli counter, his dyed-blonde, shaggy mop of hair tamed by a prissy hairnet, he undergoes the embarrassment of a customer, memory dimly flickering into life, recognising him from his heyday.
As far as I know, Rourke has never worked in a supermarket, but he has, apparently, gone through a number of similarly embarrassing encounters with old fans. Indeed, the parallels between Rourke and Randy are so strong that you can imagine lines like "I'm an old broken down piece of meat and I deserve to be all alone," (said by Randy as he tries to patch things up with his daughter) being said by Rourke himself.
It's this blurring of actor and role that makes The Wrestler so moving to watch. Yes, the story of a washed-up star seeking a comeback is old hat, and so is the tale of the broken-down fighter on the Rocky road to redemption, but the battered dignity of Rourke's performance is so touching that by the time he makes his big statement of faith to his fans ("In this life you can lose everything you love, everything that loves you," is how he begins) even the toughest and most cynical of viewers will find their eyes going moist.

I had a frustrating time playing Ghost Recon Breakpoint. At times, it manages to deliver an enjoyable experience but on many an occasion, a glitch-fest with inconsistencies that sometimes made me quit the game and revisit later.
Breakpoint's lore originates on a fictionalised utopian island of Auroa which a future-tech military contractor, Skell Technology, calls office. The story by itself holds decent, the map is peppered with diversity and the antagonists strike flair. But it falls apart as quickly as a lop-sided table with weak legs.
A cargo ship goes missing off the coast of the island and you, Lieutenant Colonel Anthony "Nomad" Perryman with a squad are sent off to investigate. Your chopper barely reaches the island and in a brilliantly weaved may-day cut-scene, is shot down and you later find yourself alone at a crash site. On scavenging for intel you find that the island is now controlled by rouge agents led by former ally and Ghost, Cole Walker — Jon Bernthal. Walker and his ghosts have commandeered the island's drone tech, and it's upto you and the islands' homesteaders to clunk a spanner in Walkers' insane machinery of world damnation.
The traversal around the map is extensive and you're often left to scale it on foot. While you attempt that from mission-to-mission, you have to constantly be aware of spy-planes that cross your path. If spotted there is practically no escaping the Level 50+ ghosts backed by a small army of drones. Once dead, stifle your groan as you respawn on a cliff's edge, that you can't — I repeat, just can't — cliff jump off from. Something as simple as traversing slopes had me dumbfounded. Run too quickly, up-or-down a slope that's too steep, and you begin to slide, followed by a stumble and then an uncontrollable roll as your health depletes. Ubisoft should have infused more detail in other areas than all eggs in the proverbial realism basket. The survival mechanisms and loot were redundant too, as you barely have reasons to make use of the "survival" mechanics and the loot ratings matter like fleck.
There are however some parts that make it fun. Sniping down a base full of military personnel and advanced drones all while you're camouflaged is particularly enjoyable. Switching between night and heat vision to take down a target 500+ metres away feels tactical. Ubisoft seemed to have listened to players' feedback from Wildlands introducing a variety of changes, such as an increased focus on realism and improved vehicle control. But perhaps that was all they did. The game also gets tedious and overwhelming if you play it solo, like I did.
Should you buy?
It felt as if Ubisoft had borrowed a few ideas from their other games, but failed to stitch them up into a cohesive form. While the dialogue system seemed stripped straight off from Assassins Creed, the loot-system likened that of Division 2. None were fine tuned to the game, while dialogues with NPC's happened in the most incoherent way, the loot focussed more on weapon power than levels. Ghost Wars, Breakpoints' PvP/PvE mode too had some rubber-banding and on a few occasions threw me off to the start screen as soon as the map loaded. Micro-transactions, at least pre-update, were built around the pay-to-win wall. There were skill points and time-saver boosters available that nullified the grind, regardless of the edition you bought.
With Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, Ubisoft has lost sight of what a Tom Clancy game should offer. Ironic, since its last major offering, Division 2 was such a huge success.

A hairstyle with short sides and a long top can be a sort of a middle ground between long hair and short hair. It's a way to bridge the world of the rock star with the world of the clean-cut, man of success. Many have erroneously attributed this to the mullet, with the saying business in the front, party in the back. While much of that saying holds true, most would agree that nowadays the mullet is all party, all the time.
These next 30+ looks will show you how the modern man mixes business and pleasure stylishly.
Having hair with a lot of volume is a great way to achieve a taller, more dominating presence. In this photo, we can see just how much volume adds to his look, while keeping the sides short allows him to frame his face in a manner that presents him in a more slender light, while still looking like an absolute boss.
The disconnected undercut gives new meaning to the words clean-cut, it shows you have a deliberate and discerning eye for style. Your hair is relegated to the bounds you set for it, it can go here and no further.
One of the reasons you would want a style like this is to show off incredible full-bodied, lushes hair. If you're balding, well you might want to avoid this style.
Curls, in a way, represent hair's ultimate freedom, it's hair that has been allowed to grow in its most natural form. Even though some of us born without naturally curly hair have to use chemicals to achieve our dream curls, the focus is still the same: to look as natural as possible.
Here we see that pairing the curls with short sides gives us a style that's both natural-looking and functional in our modern-day to day life.
In 1992 when Prince changed his name to a symbol he sported a hairstyle similar to this one. A modern take on a very classic late '80s – '90s look.
Great for tickling the ivories or having an impromptu jam session with some old friends and your Les Paul. Try this style and you'll see it raining purple.
Although the king kept his sides longer than this, this certainly would be the updated version of the Elvis look.
The longer, swept over top gives you that wild hound dog looks, while the short sides keep your face ready for photos from every angle. Thank you, thank you, thank you very much.
This hairstyle is a bit shorter than the others we've seen, demonstrating the versatility that the short sides, long top long starts you off with; You can literally take this style in any direction. We see that he's opted for a shorter, more sporty look. We've also seen a few footballers rocking this look to victory.
The Quiff haircut is similar to a Pompadour but with less volume. It has adorned the heads of many iconic stars such as Ryan Gosling and Vanilla ice.
Wikipedia(the modern Webster's) defines it as a cross between the pompadour and the flat top of the 1950s. It has gone through many resurgences throughout the years since the 50's such as in the '80s in England during the Teddy boy movement and then again in the '90s throughout the rest of Europe.
Did it have a hand in the creation of Drive and Ice Ice baby? We can only speculate…
The brushed up look shares similarities with the quiff in that they're both styled up in the front. But whereas the quiff concerns itself only with the front, the wearer of the brush-up style will have styled the entire top, with the same meticulous detail and vertical sculpting as the quiff.
Think of the brush up as being the same as a quiff, only every angle is ready for a photoshoot. I'm ready for my close up Mr. Demille.
"What do I need to do to get you in this car today?" This high volume open quiffed top is the ultimate salesman hairstyle if salesmen had this much style.
The volume and side-swept top give it that go-getter looks while the sides are kept "short but not too short."(stylists, how many times have you heard that at work?)
The undercut taper is one of the most tried and true hairstyles that has held up through the ages. It keeps coming back again and again like ripped jeans and long straight hair, and unlike disco, for the most part, is here to stay.
It's a great middle-ground style that won't polarize people and will work in almost every aspect of your life perfectly be it a job interview or a secret spy mission(should you choose to accept it).
Having shiny, smooth hair has been popular with the ladies for ages but men can also enjoy silky hair as well. It has the effect of making you look very slick, and business-minded like Michael Douglas in Wall Street.
You can pull this off by using Shampoo, Conditioner, and hair oil. Avoid using products in your hair that contain drying agents such as SLS and you should be good as gold.
Side swept hair is a look that will never go out of fashion. It's great for those of us that want just that little bit of extra length, without the volume(as we all know, the volume can be a chore to maintain.) Nice, easy, and natural. Great for running your fingers through it.
A textured hairstyle can really make you look like you just came from the salon that very day. They work well with all styles of hair, although best when paired with a medium length hairstyle and when the hair has been freshly trimmed(within 2 weeks is the optimal time), because the strands have that extra stiffness after recently being cut.
With the right amount of product and elbow grease, you can give your hair that textured look that makes people think the winds been blowing through your hair all day.
Colin McGregor would really take a liking to this hairstyle(if not the hairstyle, then at least the suit).
The sides are cut with a skin fade while the top is brushed up and the strands are spiked a bit. This is a very macho look, paired with a suit and tie giving it that clash of two worlds feel that the champ is famous for.
Faded sides being all the rage now, this silky-smooth pompadour variation has a more modern look then compare to one rocked by the king himself Elvis Presely.
Pairs well with a beard or without, just don't pair it with regular visits to a donut shop.
Here's a style you don't often see. The top has been left longer and loosely combed giving it that free-flowing appearance.
The sides here have been trimmed down in two distinct gradients, a very sharp, very striking, 80's dance floor look. You spin me round round baby round round.
The flow of the sides mirror the curvature of his facial hair, outlining and highlighting his jawline and bringing the focus towards the face and then the very quiff of the hair.
The varying shades of brown across the top make to accentuate the overall shape and texture, as well as giving it that rebellious look(within reason of course.) Ditch "rebel without a cause", and instead embrace the notion of "a rebel with a steady career and job security." Rolls right off the tongue.
What do Madonna, Nicki Minaj and this dude have in common? They've all mastered the bleach blonde/dark roots style that was all the rage back in the days when love was a battlefield. The top is both textured and layered, making it more visually disheveled while the roots and surfer bleach blonde reminds us of our parent's youth(or our own).
A textured top has the unmitigated tendency of catching discreet glances when entering a room. Quickly it will elevate your presence as the new focal point and the topic of whispered conversations(but in a good way).
Tapering the sides and keeping then short elevates this look to number 19 on this list
The Pompadour ombre effect is achieved when the hair from the top cut is gradually shorter as it gets to the sides, sort of like an upside-down pyramid.
This gives us a more refined and dapper pompadour, making you stand out even more than with just the pompadour alone. The highlights further add to the look by accentuating the top and creating a sharp contrast between opposite ends of the style spectrum.

An analysis of property brand searches across more than 200 residential, commercial and portal companies revealed a market predominantly down year on year, with pockets of stellar performance from some.
Relationship Between Search Queries and Brand Health
Brand searches are inextricably linked to brand recognition, meaning they're a direct result of awareness, competitive relevance and interest – all strong indicators of overall brand health. This specific type of search is often reserved for clients further down the sales funnel with higher potential to convert, making it a highly valuable stream of traffic.
For brands in the fiercely competitive online property sector, an increase or decrease in brand search can be attributed to several factors: the effectiveness of the marketing strategy, market-related factors, the economy, changing consumer habits or the efforts of rival brands. Fortunately, positioning from a volume perspective and a robust marketing strategy can have a significant and direct impact on brand demand.
To find out who saw the biggest spikes and dips over the last year, we dived deep into the data to create our 2018 Property Brand Demand Report.
Preview of Results
Only Four of the Top Ten Overall Saw a Positive Uplift
We combined residential, commercial and portal brands into one list for comparison. Of the top 10 brands with the highest monthly search volume overall, only four saw a positive uplift in brand demand YoY. Of the top 50 overall, more than half saw a decline in brand demand over the last year, which indicates just how tough and diverse the landscape is right now.
|Purple Bricks
MediaVision CEO Louis Venter says "The market is undoubtedly tough, however we still see pockets of great performance from innovative brands deploying great marketing strategies. There's a strong focus on digital and measurement, which is helping them disrupt the sector and gain market share".
Splitting Brands into Categories
Categorising brands into residential, commercial and portal lists enabled us to take a closer look at performance. Here's what the rankings revealed.
A Tough Market for Residential Brands
- Only three of the top ten resi brands saw an increase in brand demand
- Of the top 30 with the highest search volume, 10 saw an increase in brand demand
- Twice as many brands saw a decline
Residential brand frontrunner is Dexters, with an increase of 6% YoY. The London agency chain beat out Savills, Knight Frank and Foxtons, who all saw a decline in brand demand.
Dexters made the news back in 2016, by shedding 20 different brands and a holding business to become a single entity that now has over 70 branches across London. The brand has since expanded even more by co-marketing homes acquiring and rebranding more businesses. It also didn't hurt that John Cleese asked Dexters to sell his London pied-à-terre earlier this year as he prepared to leave the UK ahead of Brexit, giving the brand widespread exposure.
Strong Competition Among Commercial Brands
- One commercial brand stands head and shoulders above the rest with a 58% increase in demand
- Overall, commercial brands fared better than their residential counterparts
- Of the top 30 brands overall, 20 saw a decline against 10 that spiked
With aggressive growth in the market since launching, and subsequent status as one of the most valuable start-ups in the world, WeWork leads the way this year with a 58% increase in brand demand.
Flexible office space has become a major disruptor in the real estate industry. With spaces offering co-working, shorter leases, stellar coffee and a greater sense of community for small teams and corporates, demand has increased around the globe in recent years. WeWork has tapped into this growing trend by appealing to an industrious audience that wants more from an office than just a desk space. Aside from its massive size – members are projected to hit 400,000 by the end of the year – the brand captures end-user and press attention with details like amped up amenities, innovative networking events, beer taps, food bars and more. These are all tied together by a strong marketing strategy.
Portals and Online Agents Disrupting the Industry
- Online agencies are becoming major competitors to traditional brands
- Three of the seven major brands saw an increase in brand demand
- Newest portal to market sees the biggest growth in demand
With an increase in brand demand at 31% YoY, industry disruptor OnTheMarket has become a major competitor to property portals Zoopla and Rightmove, who both slipped from the top spots with a decreasing brand demand. The big portals are still far ahead in terms of volume but there is no doubting OnTheMarket's trajectory.
OnTheMarket benefitted from widespread exposure after winning a year-long battle with rivals, when a tribunal ruled in their favour regarding portal listing restrictions last year. The brand has been aggressively investing in expansion and marketing ever since. Earlier this year, OnTheMarket announced plans to create an agent-backed full-scale property portal, as well as a marketing strategy to support brand awareness and portal usage.
How to Respond to a Drop in Brand Demand
The first thing to understand is that declining brand demand isn't limited to the property sector. In retail, brand demand is heavily dictated by seasonal trends, launches, and the ability to respond to real-time events. For example, we've seen the volume of fashion brand searches double within a week during the run up to Christmas. And when unseasonably cold weather hit UK shores in late February, high street brands relying on their spring/summer collections to generate revenue were suddenly hit with a major decline in demand.
As for the best way to respond, Louis says:
- "First and most crucial, is a complete review of your marketing strategy. Measure everything – I can't stress that enough. Look at what's driving leads and what isn't. Evaluate cost per enquiry across both online and offline spend, and understand the purchase funnel for your business. It's hardly ever just one click and engage."
- "Once you have this, then invest the money where you see the best return. This will give you a solid base to leap from."
- "Then innovate. Pursue a content-led strategy amplified through all digital channels that engages with your audience. Don't just sell to them, turn their heads with good content that is relevant. Build these relationships in the quiet times and that will help you reap when the market returns."
- "And finally, analyse every last detail of your long-term SEO performance, because it's the best cost-per-lead tactic out there."

Who's your star polisher? "Ms. Hanna Burleson." Why? "She ALWAYS believes in me and tells me that I am good enough when I am falling down," writes Tristian Lumsden, a student at R.A. Long High School. "She is just a happy person to be around. She accepts me 110%, and even though she currently does not have me as a student, she is an amazing influence, and she inspires me to give my best."
As part of our district's focus on student connectedness, we shared part of a poem called "The Star Polisher" with our high school students and invited them to consider how Longview Public Schools staff have made a difference to them. Read about more of our stars and star polishers here.

text: The other day a friend of mine approached me and said, "You're bougie with water bottles." I initially took this as an offense and retorted with an explanatory remark as to how I believe better quality water bottles offer different flavors and mineral benefits. Only later did I start to think of the comment as a compliment. I know and realize that qualities of water bottles are separate but not equal. I took it as, "You value the quality of your water rather than drinking any and every bottle that comes my way and that's admirable. Only if your water bottle taste could be applied to the majority of peoples sex lives in college." (maybe that was a little off topic) BUT all in all the message to remember is that there's nothing wrong with choosing a quality water bottle/filtering system. Be a bit bougie!

|Huber, Stephan; Biberthaler, Peter; Delhey, Patrick; Trentzsch, Heiko; Winter, Hauke; Griensven, Martijn van; Lefering, Rolf; Huber-Wagner, Stefan (2014): Predictors of poor outcomes after significant chest trauma in multiply injured patients: a retrospective analysis from the German Trauma Registry (Trauma Register DGU (R)). In: Scandinavian Journal of Trauma Resuscitation & Emergency Medicine 22:52
Background: Blunt thoracic trauma is one of the critical injury mechanisms in multiply injured trauma victims. Although these patients present a plethora of potential structural damages to vital organs, it remains debated which injuries actually influence outcome and thereby should be addressed initially. Hence, the aim of this study was to identify the influence of critical structural damages on mortality. Methods: All patients in the database of the TraumaRegister DGU (R) (TR-DGU) from 2002-2011 with AIS Chest >= 2, blunt trauma, age of 16 or older and an ISS >= 16 were analyzed. Outcome parameters were in-hospital mortality as well as ventilation time in patients surviving the initial 14 days after trauma. Results: 22613 Patients were included (mean ISS 30.5 +/- 12.6; 74.7% male; Mean Age 46.1 +/- 197 years; mortality 17.5%; mean duration of ventilation 7.3 +/- 11.5; mean ICU stay 11.7 +/- 14.1 days). Only a limited number of specific injuries had a significant impact on survival. Major thoracic vessel injuries (AIS >= 5), bilateral lung contusion, bilateral flail chest, structural heart injury (AIS >= 3) significantly influence mortality in study patients. Several extrathoracic factors (age, blood transfusion, systolic blood pressure and extrathoracic severe injuries) were also predictive of increased mortality. Most injuries of the thoracic wall had no or only a moderate effect on the duration of ventilation. Injuries to the lung (laceration, contusion or pneumothoraces) had a moderate prolonging effect. Cardiac injuries and severe injuries to the thoracic vessels induced a substantially prolonged ventilation interval. Conclusions: We demonstrate quantitatively the influence of specific structural damages of the chest on critical outcome parameters. While most injuries of the chest wall have no or only limited impact in the study collective, injuries to the lung overall show adverse outcome. Injuries to the heart or thoracic vessels have a devastating prognosis following blunt chest trauma.

The final week of classes before the winter break was a busy one around Nose Creek School. 4E students were keen participants in all the activities that took place this week. On Monday was Hot chocolate for $1 in the gym, Tuesday was Santa Hat Day, Wednesday was Pajama Days and finally on Thursday many students went to the year end dance or participated in afternoon activities like face painting, watching a Christmas movie or making crafts.
Students put final touches on their fossil opinion pieces during class this week. Also, each child chose a dinosaur found in Alberta to research. Demonstrating skills and processes for inquiry and research are integral parts of the Social Studies curriclum and will be further explored in 2018.
Over the Winter break, students are encouraged to read for 20 minutes per night. During time away from school this a great way for students to keep up their literacy skills in an ongoing way. For practice, students are encouraged to come to this blog and take part in the activities provided on the Word Work link provided here: gradefourncs.weebly.com/word-work.html
I would like to thank all parents/guardians for the many thoughtful gifts I received. All of them were very good and I enjoyed getting home baked goods! I look forward to seeing my students back in January 2018. Have a peaceful and enjoyable vacation!
December 17th, 2017
I would like to thank the many students and their parents who contributed toys, food and clothes to our 4E Christmas stocking for Inn from the Cold. The items contributed are intended for a 4-year old boy. When children from our homeroom took these items to Ms. Malayko on Friday she remarked positively on 4E's efforts. Mr. Brewer told students that at this time of year it is good for all students to be mindful of those who have less than others.
Following our opinion writing assignments, students shared their writing with peers on Google docs. Students used lists to detail what peers did well and list areas for improvement. In the final week of December students will use this feedback to work on improving their written work. We read a chapter from Superfudge and Mr. Brewer introduced the reading comprehension strategy of chunking text. This means that we break down words into smaller parts. Students have identified prefixes in words and through our study of Haiku poetry we learned about syllables. The chunking strategy is an effective means of improving students' reading comprehension by allowing them to break down larger words smaller parts.
On Wednesday students wrote their final spelling test of the year and on Thursday students received results and most students edited their spelling sentences. Many students showed good knowledge of the Science terms that were contained in the list through their sentences.
This week was abbreviated as the majority of students went skiing/snowboarding at C.O.P. on Tuesday and Friday was a P.D. day with no classes. Mr. Brewer introduced a new spelling list. The list is notable for having many words related to 4E and 4F's study of Science in Ms. Ross's class. In Humanities we endeavour to extend sight vocabulary to include words frequently used in other subject areas in order to extend understanding. In addition, words in the list like conclusion, opinion, and finally are being used in student opinion pieces on the subject of protecting Alberta's heritage. In these pieces they are actively seeking to identify other perspectives by exploring a variety of ideas, opinions, responses in oral, print and other media texts. This weekend Mr. Brewer came across the following article that relates strongly to this topic: news.nationalgeographic.com/2017/12/duck-dinosaur-amphibious-halszkaraptor-fossil-mongolia-science/
Classes viewed a Bill Nye video on the subject of dinosaurs on Thursday. We reviewed how fossils are created and learned about the variety of dinosaurs that Science does know about. The wide-ranging video also discussed current theory on the demise of dinosaurs due to a meteorite impact approximately 65 million years ago. World-wide distribution of iridium (a rare element that is not often found on earth) in strata and the fact that dinosaur fossils are not found after 65 million years in strata were advanced as evidences of the meteorite theory being a plausible explanation of the disappearance of dinosaurs. In coming classes, students will choose a dinosaur that was found here in Alberta to do a personal research project. 4E and 4F will be introduced to the website www.kidsdinos.com/ On this site students can read about a number of dinosaur fossils that have been found in Alberta itself: www.kidsdinos.com/alberta
This week, students in grade 4 learned that up until 1978 in Alberta, anyone who wanted to could take fossils and keep them for themselves. In 1978 that all changed when the government introduced a law that stipulates that anyone who finds a fossil must report the find to the government. We learned in class about a girl who found a fossil on the surface of the ground. She reported her fossil find to a paleontologist at the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller who informed her that it was a squid fossil. Since these are very common types of fossils she was allowed to keep her find. The law was passed to protect Alberta's fossil heritage and is one of the strictest laws on the books in the world. In class this week 4E and 4F worked on expressing their opinions about the issue of how Alberta's fossil heritage should be protected. Students were exposed to different points of view from paleontologists, government officials, people who enjoy making jewellery from ammonites and fossil hunters. They considered these various different viewpoints as they expressed their opinions by speaking and crafted their own written responses. They have been considering issues from multiple points of view and explaining which one they agree with most. Below are some of the words they are incorporating into their written responses:
Students used the knowledge gained through classroom discussion/debate and by looking at the textbook. The phrases above were introduced to students and they were encouraged to use them in their opinion pieces. The writing process involves pre-writing; in class we had a discussion and engaged in a class-wide activity where students had to choose one of four corners to go to to react to statements about how to conserve fossils. Secondly, we did some research using our text books to discover who holds different opinions and how these opinions differ a lot. Finally, we looked briefly at the website of the Royal Tyrrell Museum and we viewed the rooms inside the museum using the Google Earth app and read about the law of 1978. All students are encouraged to look at the Royal Tyrrell's website to see how the museum contributes to scientific knowledge regarding Alberta's fossil heritage: www.tyrrellmuseum.com/ Many students have a good plan about what they will say in their opinion pieces and they are now typing using computers. We learned how to log into our CBE Google accounts. Next week, students will investigate the various aspects of the program in order to self-edit their writing and share their opinion pieces with Mr. Brewer.

By GREGORY ZELLER //
A business plan pitch-a-thon with real pull is returning to the Hamptons.
i-Hamptons – the professional networking community that brought you The Spur and Spur East, members-only "entrepreneur's clubs" aimed at East End impresarios – is diving back into business-building waters with its annual "Shark Tank"-like business plan competition, "RipTide: Sink or Swim."
This year's Riptide III (unofficially updated as "$ink or $wim") is set to distribute some $50,000 in grant awards, business-building services and mentorship opportunities to early-stage enterprises that survive an application gauntlet – and wow the judges in a live-event final round.
Open to Suffolk County-based businesses, Riptide III will accept applications through Sept. 25, with a special focus on startups in the health, wellness, food, hospitality, media, technology, retail and consumer-product industries.
The qualifications are fairly tight: Applicant companies must be less than two years old; they must have so far grossed less than $50,000 in total revenues; and their owners must have earned less than $50,000 in salary for each of the past two years.
But the spoils can be destiny-changing for the right entrepreneur, according to i-Hamptons founder Ashley John Heather, who's made it his personal mission to build a support system for East End entrepreneurs.
"It is great to see this innovation community continue to grow on the East End," said Heather, who launched The Spur – part co-working space, part business-resource network, part social club – in a temporary home in late 2017, moved it into its permanent Southampton space in 2018 and christened East Hampton-based Spur East (complete with ping pong lounge) earlier this year.
"Through The Spur, we continue to work year-round with East End entrepreneurs who are transforming local ideas into national businesses," Heather added.
That includes the Mattituck-based Wick & Wine Candle Co., which captured the $20,000 grand prize package in last year's RipTide event and put the winnings to good use, according to founder Jon Demo.
"With much-needed financial support and mentorship from The Spur, I was able to bring my company to the next level, feel confident about it and thrive in a competitive market," Demo said this week. "I used the $20,000 to hire employees and stock inventory, which helped grow my accounts from 12 stores in two states to 43 stores in 10 states.
"Now I have big box stores and shopping networks knocking at my door," he added. "Winning RipTide gave my company the exact boost it needed."
This year's winner will have a substantial hill to climb (or ocean to swim). After an in-house i-Hamptons panel whittles down the applicant pool to a best-bet semifinal pool, those survivors will be required to submit a two-minute pitch video (they'll also be invited to a Sept. 30 video-presentation workshop at Spur East, including direct consultation with experienced video producers).
The entry videos will be posted online for a public vote slated to run Oct. 9 to Oct. 30, and the top four vote-getters will finally square off – five-minute presentation, 10-minute Q&A – before a panel of seasoned business professionals (and a live audience), with the $50,000 grand prize on the line.
The grand finale event, scheduled for Nov. 9 at the Southampton Arts Center, will also include a regional innovation showcase highlighting past RipTide winners and other local entrepreneurs – making Chapter Three of the "Sink or Swim" saga the biggest and most impressive yet, according to Heather.
"Like they say in the restaurant business, if you are around for more than one year, you are doing something right," the Spur founded noted. "I am delighted that our RipTide venture competition is back for its third installment."

and it was rather unexpected.
The day started with what was supposed to happen yesterday. Had everything gone the way it was planned, Selene would have had her new tires on and I would have had the rims polished. Of course, we all know what happens to the best laid plans.
Me and Joey went down yesterday with full intentions on removing the wheels, but that changed once I realized that I didn't have the proper tools. For the first time ever, Selene was up on her jack and fully stabilized. That entire ordeal took about an hour and a half and a whole lot of creativity, but nothing more then a forceful shove would knock that bike over.
With that done, I pulled out my socket set and quickly realized that all my sockets were too small for the nut holding the axle in place. Also, none of my adjustable wrenches would fit. Dejected, we took Selene off the jack and vowed to return the next day with the proper tools. That meant a shopping trip and a full day delay to my plans.
Flip to today and us browsing Sears and Canadian Tire auto centers which taught me a lesson: tools are really expensive. You see, I don't skimp. I refuse to buy cheap tools because I fully believe that you get what you pay for and if something is going to fail on you, it will do it when you need it most.
A quick bout of frustration and a phone call later; I find out that taking Selene to the dealership and getting the tires done there is actually cheaper then me buying the tools. Done deal. I can always ask for more tools for my birthday or Christmas.
Half an hour later we are at the storage place with Selene's battery and are quickly putting her back together. It took a few pushes of the start button and some nice words, but she sleepily came to life and was more then happy to navigate the hallways to the garage. I quickly gear up and hit the road.
-9 C (16 F) with the wind in mid March, I'm riding and it felt good. Free once again. It was hard to believe that the night before it had been snowing enough to cover everything. I got Strange looks from everyone, but at least they were looking. I guess it's hard not to notice the only bike on the road.
At the dealership I got the usual comments: Hardcore, crazy, committed. It was all in good fun and I love seeing the looks on their faces when I ride up and walk in.
So, there you have it. My last couple of days all summed up nicely. I don't have any pictures because I quite simply forgot to take any...oops. Brand new camera and I don't get any shots of my first ride of the season...heh. I promise to get pictures when I pick her up. I'm sure Selene will be more then happy to show off her new set of shoes.

SFU honours distinguished community leader Mike Harcourt
This Friday, Simon Fraser University will confer its 2019 President's Distinguished Community Leadership Award upon former Vancouver Mayor and B.C. Premier Mike Harcourt.
The award is presented annually to recognize remarkable people who exemplify the values of community leadership and community service that reflect our vision as an engaged university.
Mike Harcourt has devoted a lifetime of service to empowering citizens and building strong, sustainable communities.
As a young lawyer, he championed the fight against freeway expansion into Strathcona – a struggle that ultimately helped establish Vancouver as one of the world's most livable cities.
As Vancouver Mayor from 1980 to 1986, he raised the profile of the city and province before and during Expo 86, and as B.C. Premier from 1991 to 1996, he created a process to resolve land use conflicts that resulted in the preservation of over 12 percent of B.C.'s land base, and the creation of 500 new protected areas. He also worked to establish a modern-day treaty process to recognize land and self-government rights of the province's First Nations peoples.
Mike Harcourt's activism and optimism continue to have a positive impact through his work for initiatives such as Dogwood 25, a collaborative supporting the academic success of Aboriginal students. He is also founding patron of AGE-WELL, a pan-Canadian network co-led by SFU to promote technologies that improve the quality of life for seniors.
It is a privilege to bestow this well-earned honour on Mike Harcourt, and to express appreciation on behalf of SFU and the communities we serve for his decades of service and leadership to the people of Vancouver and the province.

A property being let out in Lincolnshire produced an unexpected surprise for the agent and landlord handling a routine inspection - the presence of a 50-stone pig.
The Mirror reports that a GP called Gary Armstrong was letting out the property to a tenant described as an RAF serviceman on behalf of his father.
During a routine inspection the pig was discovered, inside the house, having caused a reported £7,500 of damage and requiring new flooring, new turf in the garden, repairs to the patio and a deep clean.
Armstrong is reported in the Mirror to have said: "I was absolutely stunned when I saw it, it was a complete shock. "I was just renting out my dad's house after he moved and this was my first tenant, an RAF serviceman based at Brize Norton."
Armstrong, from Yorkshire, said he believed the man's partner bought the pig into the house.
"His partner was there when I examined the house, she said something about it being unwell and they brought it into the house. I said to the woman, there's a pig in the house and she replied: 'What's your problem? It's just a pig'."

Guidelines for Successful Israel Education
This page highlights some creative approaches to Israel education. The title of each guideline ends in "-ate." This is an English approximation of the Hebrew word "et," that means "time", a concept emphasized in the piece's opening quote from Kohelet. The assumption behind these guidelines is that "taking the time to make it real" can pay off in more compelling Israel educational programming.

Planning Inspectorate to judge appeal on whether Domino's should open new branch in Pratt Street
PUBLISHED: 11:46 09 July 2019 | UPDATED: 12:51 09 July 2019
The Planning Inspectorate is set to rule on whether fast-food takeaway chain Domino's can open a new branch in Camden Town.
Camden Council originally turned down the application by the pizza giant last year. 30 residents complained about the former St Martin's Tavern being converted. It was most recently a Japanese restaurant, which closed in March 2018.
Concerns have been raised about an increase in traffic due to delivery drivers and potential problems with anti-social behaviour.
You may also want to watch:
It will also only be a stone's throw from two primary schools, St Michael's and Our Lady's.
The company currently runs 1,000 stores across the UK.
Councillor Richard Cotton, who represents Camden Town with Primrose Hill has sent a formal objection into the inspectorate's review.
He said: "There is the issue with the schools, where Sadiq Khan has said that there shouldn't be any fast food shops near schools, but there will also be an problems around noise. There will be bikes coming and going throughout the whole operation. There could also end up being anti-social behaviour in St Martin's Gardens nearby."
A final decision will be made later this year.

Go for Irish coffee
If you are not a Guinness person, improve your Irish coffee skills! This cocktail blend is made of piping hot coffee, brown sugar and Irish Whisky. This beautiful mixture is covered with a whipped heavy cream. This brew can keep you toasty, without getting one drop of green beer spilled on your shirt. Make one, or try it at any Irish pub.
Donate for a Green Cause
While you're having a great holiday, think about those who are less fortunate. Visit humanitarian websites, and help struggling people around the world to re-build their lives. Or you can hit two birds with one stone; Add the book "Zest!" to your collection, which is packed with dozens of Irish Chefs' best dishes! The funds collected goes to hospice care.
Dance in the crowd
There's nothing like listening to Irish music live, as it gets the heart going. Pull your dancing partner, and head to a live show, local Irish Club or parade. Let the music flow in your bones, and the movements will come along. Do not worry about the watchers and just dance!
Take a selfie
Seven years ago, a campaign around going green started. Ever since, major landmarks such as London Eye, Dublin City Centre, Nelson's Column, The SSE Hydro and Town Hall Clock light up in green colours on this holy day. Take your mobile phone, and take a selfie in front of these green towers.
Have a home party
Not much of a drinker? Leave out the drinking-on-St-Patrick's-Day tradition, and create your own custom. Have a non-alcoholic party at home with some friends! Sip on some minerals (soft drinks), and watch Irish movies.
Magical Vegas- the best online casino, brings a special offer for this holy day! Do not forget to opt-in the St. Patrick's Tourney to win some freebies. Try your luck on slot games such as Irish Gold, Leprechaun goes to Egypt and Aztec Idol. Happy St. Patrick's Day!


text: pscathy Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I feel like I just got drug behind a car! I started yesterday making Darlene's chicken soup. I love the pictures and step-by-step directions. I put all the ingredients in the frig and this am skimmed the fat from the broth, heated it up, and read my instruction booklet (from the American 925) and 2 online gov't booklets on pressure canning. I read some of it to DH who started saying this all sounds kinda dangerous...... gulp. I feel like I have a bomb in the kitchen, and I don't know if I did something that will detonate it! I filled 14 pint jars per Darlene's pics, and put lids and bands on them and put them in the canner. Gulp...PANIC... reviewing Darlene's instructions, realized I forgot to release air bubbles with spatula!!! Well, I decided I HAD to do it over, and so undid all jars, released air bubbles (didn't see any, but who knows?) put on new lids and back in the canner. I have the jars in there, the fire turned up, and am waiting for something scary to happen. I will be SO grateful if this ever feels routine to me. right now I could use a stiff drink (if I drank) or a cigarette (if I smoked!!! ) As it is, I am venting here so maybe I can calm down. I am struck after reading and re-reading all that stuff about botulism, that even if the canner doesn't explode in there, I still don't know if my food will be safe! Hmm. Well, I am doing it BY THE BOOK, so I guess it will be fine. I bought this canner a few months ago, and finally got my nerve up to go ahead. I'm telling you, it sure would be easier with somebody experienced standing beside me! The pictures are a big help, but if anyone is inspired to make a video for us first-timers, it would be a God-send! I had my husband filling jars with veg and chicken and was fretting that he might be putting in too much or too little. I don't know what is important... Just bit his head off over something he said about the laundry! I'm now going to wait for steam to come out the vent, let it vent for 10 minutes, then put the 15 lb wt on, and wait for the gauge to say 15 lb PSI, and at that point I will adjust the fire to keep it at that PSI setting. supposedly the weight will do that for me and I won't have to watch it for the entire time. I will set a timer for 70 minutes after the pressure setting is 15. Did I forget anythibg??? I'll go read some more..... What an experience! Are we having fun yet?? You guys sound so blase when you report the scads of food you canned over a weekend. Someday I will be there, right :>) ?? Cathy Quote Link to post

VANCOUVER - The man accused of plotting to bomb the B.C. legislature was recorded lamenting a missed chance to murder hundreds of soldiers and their loved ones at a military homecoming celebration, a B.C. Supreme Court jury has heard.
"I could have killed 225 Canadian soldiers coming back from Afghanistan, and all their families," says John Nuttall about an event at Canadian Forces Base Esquimalt in Victoria, B.C., that supposedly took place in early May 2013.
"All I would have needed is two sniper rifles and some grenades. Imagine the damage I could have done," he says, gesturing excitedly to the undercover officer in a covert police video taken in May 2013.
"Me and my wife, we could have done them all in. It would have gone down in history."
There was no indication that a ship returned to the Vancouver Island base at that time.
Fewer than two months later, Nuttall and his wife Amanda Korody were arrested for allegedly planting three homemade pressure-cooker bombs on the lawn of the B.C. legislature on Canada Day.
In audio and video recordings taken in May of that year and played for the jury on Thursday, Nuttall tells the undercover officer of applying alongside his brother to join the Canadian military years earlier and feeling "dejected" after he was refused admission for health reasons.
"Right there I felt like my country didn't care for me at all," he says. "This is where it all started, my search for what I wanted in life."
Despite having referred to him as "habibi," or my beloved in Arabic, Nuttall has repeatedly expressed doubt about trusting the undercover officer, who was posing as an Arab businessman.
Nuttall even brought a hidden weapon to a meeting because he said he feared for his life.
In a video played for a jury, Nuttall sheepishly tells the officer that he took along a marble gun — a paintball gun modified to shoot marbles — because he worried he had brought too much attention to their operation and would have to be killed.
"I'm afraid of the people you're hanging out with and that they thought I was a liability, (that) I was too much heat on you guys and you should just take me out," he says, sitting in the front passenger seat in a pickup truck parked near his home in Surrey, B.C.
The officer squeezes Nuttall's shoulder as he reassures him that would never happen and that they must trust each other.
Nuttall promises the officer he will come up with a better terrorist plan after learning the Via Rail passenger train he previously proposed to hijack has not run for years.
"I need to learn how to make explosives," says Nuttall.
"I'm here to help you make it happen," says the officer. "That's my role."
In a phone conversation, the recent Muslim convert tells the undercover officer he has been getting to know "the Lord Jesus Christ" but that he needs more spiritual guidance and invites the officer to accompany him to Christian church.
On Thursday, Nuttall's defence lawyer Marilyn Sandford pressed the officer about why he did not encourage Nuttall to seek out spiritual direction from a minister or priest.
"Mr. Nuttall is not looking for a Christian spiritual leader," testified the officer. "Mr. Nuttall is talking in code. I'm 100 per cent sure of that."
Nuttall feared his phone conversations were being wiretapped, said the undercover agent, so he would speak clandestinely of spiritual guidance in reference to his desire to access radical Islamic websites.
Nuttall and Korody have pleaded not guilty to four terrorism-related charges.

Ray Varner Sales Consultant Lou Gehrig knows that he has a very recognizable name. In fact, he sometimes gets reminded about it at work.
Like the time that Ray Varner called him over to introduce him to a customer. "This is Lou Gehrig," he said.
"Right," chuckled the customer. "And I'm Mickey Mantle."
But Lou doesn't mind at all. In fact, he says it helps him get conversations started with customers, and that lets him understand them better--which in turn, allows him to do his job better.
"We put great effort into listening to people when they come into the dealership," Lou explained. "If my name puts a smile on someone's face to get us started, then everyone's at ease and the customer finds it easier to tell me what he or she is looking for in a vehicle."
Lou is a native of
So they came--without jobs or a place to live--but immediately fit in. Lou began working at Ray Varner Ford and found himself right at home.
"I love selling cars. You know the old saying--love what you do, and you'll never work a day in your life. The staff here at Ray Varner Ford makes it easy. Everyone's great to work with, and you'll never find a fairer man than Ray Varner."
Lou knows this from personal experience. Last year, he and Donna
moved back to
"When I left, Ray told me that as long as he had anything to do with this dealership, I had a home," Lou said. "So I made the decision to come back."
Now Lou feels at home again, and his customers are benefitting from his remarkable expertise and his talent for matching people up with vehicles that fit them perfectly. He loves what he does.
Which in many ways makes him feel like the luckiest man on the face of the Earth.

The Pipettes - Manchester Academy 2
The polka-dot pop protagonists are back. The Pipettes live experience is a heady rush. RiotBecki, Gwenno and Rosay, the trio with brio, lit up last summer with their cocktail of 50s-influenced girl group pop and indie savvy. The debut album 'We are the Pipettes' , trailed by timeless single 'Pull Shapes', was a far more captivating extravaganza than the initial novelty value might have led you to expect.
Tonight they stride on, ever-slick backing band The Cassettes laying down a few bars of introduction, to screams, no less. Opener 'Don't Forget Me' is new and absolutely glorious, up there with their their shiniest two or three moments. A cracking start and the set sets off at pace, intros to old classics (!) receiving cheers.
Further proof that Indie Pop = (Indie Rock x 2), the Pipettes play a storming set of old and new, the apparent off-hand simplicity of which belies the craft, soul and brains within. A partisan crowd laps it up. The venue - an increasingly bleak old box, sadly a last-minute switch from original, and ideal, venue, The Ritz - is not as full as it was last September, but they were promoting the album back then and 'Pull Shapes' was all over radio. So the place is alive but not quite sweatpit central this time. One wag delivers a tuneful "These Happy Days are yours and mine !" during a lull and gets deserved recognition. The audience is mostly female so bang goes that one about the girls only attracting geeky gawping nerds ... though, it must be said - no, I won't. And I'll leave it to others to dig out a proto-feminist subtext but lyrical slant continues to be : 'Why did you leave me and make me cry ? Oh hell, pass the wine. Oh, and men are all pathetic bastards." Smart. It's Victoria Wood via The Shrangi-las.
They play just about all of the debut and four or five newies. That second album is going to be indispensable on this evidence. They say goodbye with a floor-shaking 'Pull Shapes' and return for a scintillating double-whammy of 'ABC' and their daft but rousing title track. It seems almost wasteful that The Pipettes aren't massive by now. I can live with, oh I don't know ... Explosions in the Sky playing to crowds like this, but this lot are bending over for you, you dolts ! Even when one factors in that for a huge swathe of their potential audience (indie drones doing Media Studies with Zoology at Haverfordwest University) they are simply a bit too 'gay', the lack of world domination is disappointing. Such is the brown and grey backdrop of the current British alternative music scene : a dash of colour and sparkle is just that bit too bright for comfort, nudges you away from the herd. Shame on you for that. For those of us who love music in all its possible shapes and flavours, The Pipettes are peddling piquant, pristine pop. Their live show marries wit and ribald pop japery with effortless musical savvy. I smile throughout. You don't deserve them.

Holiday Book Advent Calendar
Growing up we always had the chocolate advent calendars, but we did that for the kids one year and they weren't super interested so I switched it up and have been keeping it up year after year.
Step 1 – you need holiday focused books. This can be done for Christmas or Hanukkah. I do 24 books, you can also do 12 (12 days of Christmas) or 7 for Hanukkah.
These do not need to be brand new books. That could be pretty pricey. I went to stores like Once Upon A Child and VarageSale to buy a bunch used. I also bought packages of books off of the kids book fair or Scholastic Sales. I have picked up a few that I wanted to be in the calendar specifically The Night Before Christmas. Keep in mind that as the kids get older that you may want to swap some out for books that they can read themselves. Which is why buying some second hand is a great idea!
Step 2 – wrap each book individually and number each of them randomly.
Step 3 – For night 24 (Christmas Eve) I wrap The Night Before Christmas and a new pair of Joe Fresh Christmas PJ's.
There are some days that we may be busy and miss a book – this just means that we get to read two the next day. Every night, the four of us pile on our bed and read the book together. It is just another beautiful tradition that we have started together and I look forward to it daily for those 24 days.
What is your fav Christmas book?
