The Oberon Sauvignon Blanc is distinctive in style because its fruit is sourced from both the Pope Valley and Carneros Appellations of Napa Valley. This combination of multi-terroir fruit and distinctively different micro climates marries bright natural acidity with layered fresh flavors of green apple, tart kiwi, pear and melon.
Our vineyard, with its stony, volcanic terroir, sits atop Atlas Peakat an elevation between 1,270 to 1,350 feet and is located at the edge of a steep canyon which overlooksthe town of Oakville. The site, which was purchased and planted in 1999by the Michael Mondavi Familyis predominantlycomprised of Cabernet Sauvignon from the Clone Four variety grafted on 110R Rootstock.
The deep crimson 2011 Animo Cabernet Sauvignon boasts beautiful red cherry aromas, layers of dark fruit flavors framed with sculpted mountain tannins, and a long finish with nuances of coffee and vanilla.
Like a mouth watering black cobbler – the wonderful rich toastyness of the crust with the warm juiciness of blackberry and deep black cherry – this Cabernet Sauvignon has a beautiful rounded mouth-feel and rich complex flavors. On the finish, the vibrant berry flavors mingle with spice, a hint of coffee and dark chocolate.
Swirling the glass offers up dizzying aromas of freshly picked berries and mom's delights roasting in the kitchen: blackberries, cherry pie, pepper, tobacco and bacon. The skillful addition of new wood is expressed in the subtle nuance of vanilla and smoke. A velvety pillow greets the palate, followed by luscious blackberries, balanced acidity and sturdy yet refined tannins that linger alongside pleasing notes of berry and crispy bacon.
Delicately pink in hue with a light body, our 2018 Rosé offers fresharomatics with hints of Honeydewand Ambrosia melon complemented bywhite peach and followed by balanced acidity giving way to a clean, crisp finish.

Duration: Unknown, most likely formed in 1986
Location: Columbia, Missouri, United States
The Coalition for Divestment was a student group at the University of Missouri at Columbia that campaigned to get the University to divest from companies doing business in South Africa. (Source: Summary of the 608th Meeting, Special Committee Against Apartheid, United Nations, A/AC.115/SR.608 16 September 1987; and Weitzel, Carla (1953-2000), Papers, 1970-1999 (C2154).)

Title: Carla Weitzel (papers)
Time Span: 1970 - 1999
Media: 1.8 linear feet, 6 audio cassettes
Description: The papers of Carla Weitzel (1953-2000), a sociology graduate student at the University of Missouri-Columbia, consist of newspaper clippings, magazine articles, correspondence, posters, pamphlets, photographs, and miscellaneous materials. The materials document civil rights issues, particularly the anti-apartheid and divestment movement that occurred on the University of Missouri-Columbia campus during the mid-1980s. While a graduate student, Weitzel became one of the primary leaders in the divestment movement on campus. The divestment movement at the University of Missouri began in April 1978, when Doug Liljegren, Missouri Student Association president, wrote a letter to the board of curators notifying them that the University had investments in 54 companies which were doing business in South Africa. A month later a rally was held to persuade the curators to pull their investments out of South Africa. The University of Missouri Divestment Movement series is arranged by type of material and chronologically therein. The series consists of papers from various student groups, faculty groups, and University administrators and focus primarily on the University's financial investments, the issue of divestment, and the shantytown. Several student groups, including the Shantytown Activists and the Missouri Students Association, joined together in the divestment cause and succeeded in forcing the University to withdraw its investments from companies associated with apartheid in South Africa. Included in the series is a list of the articles written about the shantytown that were published in The Maneater. Also included are notes from organizational meetings regarding the construction of the shantytown. The posters and fliers included in this series primarily advertise shantytown and anti-apartheid demonstrations held on the campus during 1986 and 1987. In 1987, Weitzel was invited to speak about the shantytown and divestment movement before a special committee on apartheid at the United Nations. Her speech and general information about the hearing are included in this series. The collection also includes material of a number of organizations including the American Committee on Africa, DC Student Coalition Against Apartheid and Racism, Episcopal Churchpeople for a Free Southern Africa, Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility, John Hopkins University Coalition for a Free South Africa, Kansas City Anti-Apartheid Network, Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, National Mobilization for Justice & Peace in Central America & Southern Africa, St. Louis Coalition Against Apartheid, South African Military Refugee Aid Fund, and the Washington Office on Africa.

After almost a decade, England's first inland wave pool will officially open its doors. The Wave: Bristol is set to launch in November and will utilise the Wavegarden's Cove technology, capable of generating up to 1,000 waves per hour.
Any sort of inland wave tech for Bristol has been on the table since 2010, when Nick Hounsfield first voiced plans to bring surfing to the city. From then, it's been nine years of dedicated, hard work, rounds of investment, millions of pounds poured into realising a vision.
Looking for some time in the water? UK forecasts are HERE
And in a few months time, that will finally be a reality. The 1,000 waves per hour moniker is a fun quote, sure, it likely won't run to that capacity, but what's really interesting is the range of waves that will be on offer here. There's a slab, a proper slab, dubbed beast mode, a thick-lipped, heavy wave that you'll have to book well in advance so the pool is ready. There's a Porthleven-style barrel too, along with a top-to-bottom mellow wave like Saunton Sands and of course the beginner and intermediate waves for those getting to grips with foam under foot.
"It's been a rollercoaster," says Nick when we check in to catch up about the venue. That's an apt description given Nick pitched to around 230 investors, the majority of which were thrilled but then caveated it with something else, 'the timing's not right', or a whole load of 'come back to us when you're building a second one'. There's been a change in technology thrown in the mix as well, from Wavegarden to Wave Loch back to Wavegarden, when their Cove tech emerged.
"This is like taking a slice of the ocean and putting it in Bristol," explains Nick about the feeling of surfing something like this. Anyway, we spoke about the difficulties of getting The Wave to where it is now (investment being the hardest), the types of waves people can expect to surf, raising the hype for England's Olympic hopefuls and offering a surfing experience, miles from the nearest beach. This isn't just England's first wave pool - it could well be the world's first facility to use The Cove technology, if doors open before the site in Melbourne.
Oh and London? Don't feel too jealous, you've got one coming in the next few years.
This has been in development for some time now, let's run through the timeline of The Wave.
NH: 2010 was when I first started to put together some thoughts about creating a health destination, my background is in health care, where people could exercise and eat good food – break down the social barriers that are going on in Bristol, and that idea came at a fortuitous time, right as the first Wave garden tech was released in 2011.
That then became the centre piece of the vision. Being a surfer for 40 odd years, I had a massive vested interest in trying to create a wave inland. It was a real bringing together of waves and passions. I met the Wave Garden back then and we said yes, let's do this, let's build one of these in Bristol.
Back then, I thought it was going to take two years and £2 million. Then there was the change in technology, planning permission – the first application was approved in 2014, it took that long to get the land sorted and various deals in place, get the funding together. This then had to be revisited by 2016, ready for The Cove tech. Had to get the funding deals done, the construction drawings ready. Then the last 10 months have been a huge acceleration, we've had to do the archeology and enabling works, getting the site ready to build on. Then the proper construction started really end of December or start of January this year. It took eight months to build the main lake and the clubhouse.
That's a feat of engineering, when you put it in scope of the past 9 years...
Yeah, it really is. A year going from technical drawing to having a final design solution that's ready to build. It feels short in the grand scheme of things [laughs].
You mentioned a change in tech, too. Wave Garden was going to be used, then Wave Loch, then back to Wavegarden, what were the reasons for changing?
Yep, that's right. We were originally going to fit the lagoon technology, as they call it, the hydro foil under the pier structure like Surf Snowdonia. And then when we saw the engineering frailties and single points of failure... you know, we went through the due diligence process and both us and our investors decided it was just risky.
We then went back out to the market to see what other tech was in development. We came across Tom Lochtefeld, the grandfather of wave making tech. He had his new system that he wanted to bring to fruition. We wanted to work with him. It's principally the same as the American Wave Systems machine, it's a pneumatic system. But we were struggling to get a full scale prototype built to prove to our investors that the technology worked.
One day, got a call from Wave Garden and they said, 'we've taken on all your concerns from before and we've developed brand new technology, which addresses all your concerns'. Two days later I went out with the investors, saw it, cried [laughs] because it was that 'this is exactly what we need' moment.
The investor who had never surfed before in his life, we got him in the water, within 45 mins to an hour he was racing down the line on a, quite mellow, shoulder-to-head high wave. Yelling, 'where do I sign, let's get this built!' A real pivotal moment when we thought, this is happening. Let's get it.
A lot of people are going to be unsure of the differences between Surf Snowdonia and The Wave, The Wave is Wave Garden's brand new state-of-the-art technology. For those who don't know, how would you describe the differences between the two?
If just looking at it from a surfing perspective, it's many more waves per hour being produced. There's been a bit of anxiety from people booking about value for money with waves, are there going to be enough.What the previous technology did was not deliver enough waves.
It's this strange thing where people are putting a currency per wave and I just don't think that's the way to look at this. It should be around the actual experience. Because there's so many waves, people aren't going to be able to catch every single wave we produce for them. I've surfed Wave Garden 20 odd times, waves pass you by because you can't get back to the start again. In terms of an experience and volume of waves, it far exceeds any other technology out there at the moment.
But The Cove tech, what we're using in Bristol, is much more ocean-like than Slater's wave in the way it behaves.
The main thing is the authenticity of the wave. Say for example, Slater's wave, you're next to a central pier, it's pushing you away it doesn't feel like the ocean – but it's an incredibly fun wave. But The Cove tech, what we're using in Bristol, is much more ocean-like in the way it behaves.
If you were to close your eyes, it absolutely feels like the real thing. One of the comments with the previous tech was it take a few sessions to get to grips with how it works, it doesn't behave like an ocean wave. Once you've got it dialled, it's good. But you often have to spend £40-50 to get 6-8 waves which do not feel like the ocean. Here though, it absolutely feels like the ocean. Just like the real thing.
There's this interesting mindset coming out of artificial waves about value for money. It's the new age of affordability, never do you think about that when driving to the beach. But would you pay £50 odd for guaranteed back-to-back barrels? The answer's always yes, you're paying for an experience. And to have that in Bristol?
Yeah, that's it. Or spending £3k to go to Indo, it's all relative I guess.
And there's more implications here for Olympics here. This could be a training facility that could raise our Olympic hopes. Is there scope for this at The Wave?
Yes, absolutely. I know there's scope for it because it's already in the plans. I am one of the directors of British Surfing and Surfing England, there's conflict of interest there – I've got the place for the training but the high performance and elite athlete side is so important for the way that the sport is moving.
Are they going to get the benefits of it before Japan? Timing's a little bit tight. We're very much looking at this winter onwards to be able to invite a larger, wider pool of the top UK athletes to use this place as a training facility. Getting people comfortable in waves we can create, having this waves, at the press of a button, any time of the day, getting pro coaches to help the athletes tweak their performance.
Where I think it could be interesting is where we have a go to set of manoeuvres you go to. You can see the waves in the ocean setting up and you can think to yourself, 'I know what I need to do here, I've done it 1,000 times at The Wave in Bristol, I know I can punt an air that will get me a 7 or 8 point score', that repetition is key.
This is where we'll see our athletes who usually got 5-6 point rides, go up into the 9s. British surfers do well getting mid-table scores but this could be a game changer, regularly decent waves at a press of the button, two to three hours, back-to-back, that's where we could excel building towards Paris and LA.
Couple of weeks ago we took Lukas Skinner [UK wonder grom and son of longboard champ Ben Skinner] out to the test facility in Spain, put him in a heaving, slabby wave. He went over the falls, popped up and said, that's a legit wave. Two, three waves later, a couple of tips from the side and he started making this really tricky drop and in the end, he was flying through deep, throaty barrels and boosting on an air section. When that wave turns up in competition, he'll know exactly what to do. For him, he said it was some of the best waves he's ever had in his life. I'm excited about the direction here.
And while he's doing that, we'll have other kids in the water, learning to surf, watching Lukas do his thing and he'll be inspiring them, pushing them to want to do better. Really building that grass-roots.
This has been an almost 10-year process, what's been some of the most difficult moments to get this from idea to reality?
Trickiest thing, is the frustration of the tech not being quite ready for what we wanted to achieve in the early days. And then the absolute eureka moment when we saw The Cove, the product to fill our aspirations and the aspirations for people who have never surfed before. To deliver that to a mass market, is incredible.
Without a doubt, the hardest, was the investment raising process. The tech wasn't robust nor proven enough. It really made that process tough. It took two and a bit years, speaking to 230 or more investors, each one a dragon's den environment, getting a good old toasting every time [laughs]. Every single person saying this is amazing, the tech looks great but we won't back it yet. Come back to us when you want to build the second one. Take some risks with us!
It took two and a bit years, speaking to 230 or more investors, each one a dragon's den environment, getting a good old toasting every time
Every night, coming back to my wife and she would ask, 'how'd the meeting go?' And I'll be like, 'brilliant, they loved it!' Then five or so days later, hearing back from them, they loved it but they're not going to back it. Doing that, every day for two years, that was brutal but we got there.
Let's talk about some of the fun things. When we're talking about types of waves this facility can produce, it's a full spectrum. So what frequency are we talking about here and what types of waves?
Fundamentally, it's like taking a slice out of the ocean.
You've got three different sand banks working. You've got the outer sand bank, or a reef-type wave, where the wave will break further out in deeper water at a bigger height, it's what we're calling a reef wave.
That main advanced wave, we're able to adapt the shape and characteristics of that wave, so we'll end up with a few presets. We can have an open-walled wave, similar to Saunton Sands, easier to surf, lined up, not seriously critical but a nice open wall you can carve off and do some manoeuvres.
A really critical, draining wave – somewhere between Porthleven and not quite Teahupoo, but a proper heavy barrel
Then you can ramp it up. We've got an easier barrel mode, which will create a second section barrel, so you can take off, get in the barrel, followed by some open face. It keeps going up to what they're calling the slab and beast mode. A really critical, draining wave – somewhere between Porthleven and not quite Teahupoo, but a proper heavy barrel. Skinner and his son were surprised by how critical that wave was.
We know we're not going to be running that every day, really, it's going to be the day-to-day wave and have to host special sessions for those who want to take a swing at more challenging barrels.
You've then got a reform on the inner reef, which then gives us an intermediate wave, which will be wait to chest high, more a Malibu type wave, something you can cruise on a fun board, an open faced wave you can go down the line on.
Then the wave on the inner section becomes like Waikiki, your crumbly white water with a bit of green face on it, which will be great for beginners to learn on. Maybe some turning but it's your classic white water learner wave.
So within each side of the lake, you can have around 40 people, surfing different waves at different ability levels. Quite close proximity but a safe and manageable distance apart. Much the same as good beaches in Cornwall, head high waves out the back, chest high on the reform and then the white water learners.
Could you run through how that tech works?
Yeah, it's a succession of what they call modules. A series of individual components, each one creates a pulse of energy. It's like a paddle system that creates that energy. We stacked up 40 of them in an array, so we're introducing that pulse at various moments across the wave. The wave is generated then when it starts to trip up and run down the reef, we're adding another pulse of energy every metre or so. You're getting consistent power all the way along the wave until it dies out.
Those 40 modules run for about 80 metres across the lake and that creates enough power and force for the wave to not only peel over the expert, or reef wave, but also creates power for the intermediate and beginner waves too. That's the principle. The great thing about this system is that all the working parts are out of the water, so if anything breaks or needs maintaining, we can do so while the waves continue to work. We can actually lose up to 30 per cent of those modules and there will still be a wave good enough to surf.
If anything broke, it's kind of off the shelf mechanical parts we can get from a multitude of UK suppliers – not like a foil system where if that breaks, you need to shut down. So any down time is reduced from days to just hours – and even then it's unlikely you'll notice it.
So for people coming along to The Wave, you've got a deal with Softech and FCS too as well right?
Yeah, we spoke with some surf schools and the boards were well used and respected. FCS is a natural partner, too.
Perfect, thanks Nick. Tickets are now on sale for The Wave: Bristol and you can buy them HERE.

Today is World IP Day and this year's theme is "Powering Change: Women in Innovation and Creativity." The United States Patent and Trademark Office's (USPTO) states the focus of this year's program will be on "how women come up with game-changing and life-enhancing innovation that transforms and improves our lives while empowering other [women] to do the same."
A recent study conducted by Yale School of Management showed a gender bias in patent examination with women receiving fewer granted patents than their male counterparts. According to the study, only 10% of patent-holders are women and only 15% of inventors listed on patents are women. Director of the USPTO, Andrei Iancu, recently addressed this issue when he testified in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee in a hearing related to oversight of the USPTO. When asked about the study, Iancu said he would have to research its validity further but as for programs and initiatives for women and minorities there are many currently in operation, they are "critically important" and he would like to "keep going and hopefully grow them."
In light of the UPTO's program for this year's World IP day, take a look at the accomplished female innovators below.
Grace Hopper
Grace Hopper obtained her BA in mathematics and physics from Vassar College in 1928. After graduation she stayed at the college and became an associate professor. While teaching at Vassar, she worked on obtaining her MA in mathematics from Yale and then proceeded to obtain her MA and a Ph.D. in mathematics, a feat that was extremely rare at the time
When World War II began Hopper joined the Navy and took a leave of absence from Vassar and became part of an all-female naval division, WAVES, Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service. During her time as a naval officer, Hopper was sent to the Bureau of Ordinance at Harvard University and was assigned to program the Mark I, an electro-mechanical computer. When the war was over Hopper was so enamored with computer programming she declined a professorship offer from Vassar and stayed on at Harvard under a Navy contract.
In the 1940s, Hopper began working on the Mark II, it was during this time she made a discovery that led to the coining of a commonly used computer phrase. The Mark II was acting up and they needed to find the source of the glitch. They traced the glitch to a live moth in the computer, which Hopper had to retrieve, thereby "debugging" the computer.
In the 1950s, Hopper was a senior mathematician for Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation and worked on a UNIVersal Automatic Computer I (UNIVAC). During her employment at Eckert-Mauchly, Hopper developed the "A compiler", a program that transforms source code written in one programming language into another less-intricate computer language.
In 1959, Hopper served as a technical consultant on a consortium called the Conference on Data Systems Language (CODASYL). At CODSAYL, Hopper helped create the well-known Common Business Oriented Language, better known as COBOL.
In 1967, Hopper helped the Navy formulate a standardized process to communicate between different computer languages. She was able to develop a validation software for COBOL and its compiler as part of the Navy's COBOL standardization program.
Hopper passed away on January 1, 1992, at the age of 85 and was laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery. In 2016, Hopper was posthumously honored with the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Barack Obama.
Hopper once said, "If you do something once, people will call it an accident. If you do it twice, they call it a coincidence. But do it a third time and you've just proven a natural law!"
Shirley Jackson
Shirley Jackson graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1973, with her Ph.D. in theoretical elementary particle physics. She was one of the first African American students to attend MIT and one of two women in her undergraduate class. Jackson was the first African Americans to receive a Ph.D. from MIT.
In addition to her academic success at MIT, she was also part of a group that pressured MIT to change their views on minorities. The group pressured the school to recruit more minority students and faculty. In response, MIT appointed a Task Force on Educational Opportunity to find ways to make MIT appealing to minorities, with Jackson serving on the board.
Jackson went on to work at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory as a research associate. Here she studied subatomic particle and the strong nuclear force. She continued to work in this area focusing on Landau theories of charge density waves in one- and two-dimensions, in addition to Tang-Mills gauge theories and neutrino reactions.
In 1976, Jackson went to work for Bell Telephone laboratories focusing on theoretical physics and electronic properties of ceramic materials that could act as superconductors of electric currents. The technologies she worked on paved the way for others to invent items such as the fax machine, fiber optic cables, and touch-tone phones. Her discoveries were also behind the technologies used in caller ID and call waiting.
In 1995, Jackson was appointed chair of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission by the Clinton administration. This position allowed her to implement regulations to assess risk of nuclear power plants. She implemented the use of a computer model that would assess potential risk factors and the likelihood of problems occurring at nuclear power plants across the United States
Under the Barak Obama administration, Jackson served on the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST). She also became co-chair of Obama's Intelligence Advisory Board where she served until 2017. In 2016 Obama awarded Jackson the National Medal of Science. Jackson continues to be a respected member of the scientific and educational communities. Jackson is known for inspiring students to go above and beyond telling the to "reach for the stars." She once said "We need to go back to the discovery, to posing a question, to having a hypothesis and having kids know that they can discover the answers and can peel away a layer."

Friendly takeover: interview with FFS
If the company does not have economic development, this often leads to a merger with a competitor. Is it exactly the same in music? With many so-called supergroups, this is still happening.
Two groups – Sparks and Franz Ferdinand merged under the name FFS. Looking for a reason for such an act, Martin Riemann found nothing but love.
Supergroup. A word that does not automatically inspire enthusiasm. Although everything is usually true with the "super" part, the word "group" is in doubt. How will everything work when the best come together? Who is the leader, who plays the rhythm guitar, who just can sit in the back of the bus during the tour? The fact that the meeting of super-musicians can become an ego-infringing clash is not realized Continue reading
Absolutely None: An Interview with Soak
She was named the new greatest UK songwriter: critics describe Soak as a tomboy girl from Northern Ireland with a skateboard, guitar behind her and touching songs in the arsenal.
But what is beyond the hype? A lot of things, says journalist Ayda Bagkherneyad.
Nobody goes around the bush, talking about her age. Bridi Monds-Watson, better known as Soak, first picked up the guitar at the age of 13, played her first concert at 15, and in 2012, when she turned 16, released her debut EP on a label owned by Chvrches. Now, at almost 18 years old, she is releasing her first album and shows that even with the label "singer-singer" that does not cause anything other than yawning, one can be dull. And the fact that adulthood and maturity is overrated, because some people Continue reading
The Next Great Phenomenon: Interview with Wolf Alice
Not so long ago, stepping out of teens, in 2013 Wolf Alice with a handful of songs turned the music world upside down. While the label "grunge" stuck to them from the very beginning, on their debut album "My Love Is Cool" they finally blurred the boundaries between genres.
Michaela Gladovich met with vocalist Ellie Rousell and drummer Joel Emey in Berlin and interviewed.
Another young British indie band, from which, after a couple of EPs, all music critics just write boiling water. Magazines and blogs show off their accolades, the BBC in 2013 called Wolf Alice "the most-write-about-blogging group." A year later, they received the "Best New Artist" award at the UK Festival Awards. With their first longplay "My Love Is Cool", Ellie Rousell (guitar, vocals), Joff Oddi (guitar), Theo Ellis Continue reading

Weather forecast: Heavy rains, gusty winds likely in Kolkata, Andhra coast
New Delhi, May 02: West Bengal is gearing up for some very heavy rains starting May 3. The Extremely Severe Cyclonic Storm Fani is going to make landfall over Odisha near Satpada and Balukhand area in Puri district by afternoon of May 3. Meanwhile, let us have a look at the weather forecast for Bengaluru, Delhi, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar on May 3.
The state of Karnataka has been observing dry weather conditions from the last many days. All thanks to the extremely severe cyclone Fani in West Central and adjoining southwest Bay of Bengal due to which scattered light to moderate rain and thundershower activity was witnessed in parts of Karnataka including Bengaluru. As per Skymet weather, in the next 24 hours, there might be cloudy sky but chances of rains after 24 hours would decrease. Warm afternoons would also make a comeback. From May 2, northwesterly winds will start blowing over most parts of the state leading to dry and hot weather. Day temperatures will also start rising. So on May 3, the residents of the Bengaluru would witness cloudy skies during the day. The maximum temperature would be recorded around 34 degree Celsius.
Cyclone Fani: A look at some of the deadliest cyclones in India
People in Delhi got some respite from the sweltering heat on Thursday as the Met department has predicted thunderstorm and dust storm in the city. The weatherman has forecast mostly sunny skies on May 3. The maximum temperature is likely to settle around 38 degrees Celsius.
Uttar Pradesh and Bihar:
The weather conditions over the states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar were almost dry since the last many days. And due to this prolonged dry spell, temperatures were increasing continuously over most parts of these states. However, during the last 24 hours, temperatures have decreased to some extent as in the wake of extremely severe cyclonic storm Fani, easterly winds from Bay of Bengal have commenced over parts of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. As per Skymet weather, the intensity of these rains will be mainly light to moderate with few heavy spells. These on and off pre-Monsoon weather activities will continue till May 4.
The Extremely Severe Cyclonic Storm Fani over West-central Bay of Bengal moved north-northeastwards with a speed of about 07 kmph in last six hours. In Odisha, Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal at least 19 districts are expected to get affected by the extremely severe cyclonic storm Fani, which is likely to cross Odisha Coast between Gopalpur and Chandbali, around Puri during 3rd May afternoon. The storm is likely to move northwestwards in the next 12 hours and recurve north and northeastwards afterwards. The cyclone will pass through Jagatsinghpur, Kendrapara, Bhadrak and Balasore in Odisha before reaching West Bengal with a maximum sustained wind speed of 170-180 kmph gusting to 200 kmph.
West Bengal:
West Bengal is gearing up for some very heavy rains starting May 3. The Extremely Severe Cyclonic Storm Fani is going to make landfall over Odisha near Satpada and Balukhand area in Puri district by afternoon of May 3. As Cyclone Fani is expected to move northeastwards, it will travel across Coastal districts of Odisha towards Gangetic West Bengal. Kolkata in particular, the city and its nearby areas are all set to witness torrential rain and thundershowers along with strong gusty winds. As per Skymet weather, in fact, the outer periphery of the extremely severe cyclonic storm Fani is already covering parts of West Bengal. Thus, light rainfall activity will commence over Kolkata today and the sky will remain partly cloudy. Gradually, from tomorrow i.e. May 3 as the system reaches Odisha, weather activities will start increasing over the city and its adjoining areas.
Andhra Pradesh:
At present, the extremely severe cyclone Fani is nearing North Coastal Andhra Pradesh and adjoining Odisha Coast. Therefore, parts of Andhra Pradesh and Odisha is expected to witness heavy to extremely heavy rains. Sea conditions will be rough to very rough. Light to moderate rainfall at most places with isolated heavy to very heavy falls over Visakhapatnam and Vijayanagaram districts and isolated heavy to extremely heavy falls over Srikakulam districts on May 2 and with heavy to very heavy rainfall at isolated places on May 3.

The Future of Health Conference 2019 will focus on quality in healthcare. Quality of care is the extent to which healthcare services provided to patients improves desired health outcomes. Why the focus on quality in healthcare, and why now? There needs to be a greater effort to improve quality in healthcare in order to increase confidence in the healthcare sector, with the use of quality measures to access service delivery. Quality and safety of health care is a goal that will be achieved through education, knowledge sharing, external evaluation, and supporting health systems in Nigeria. The objective of The Future of Health Conference 2019 will centre around connecting people through robust health care networks, to bring to the forefront the need to integrate quality at all levels of healthcare access and delivery. We want to encourage goal-oriented conversations among health care professionals which will lead to the development of national guidelines to measure quality health care in Nigeria.

I never wanted to write. Because I thought, who would read it? Then I thought that's exactly why I should. So here it goes, my first post!
I battle something that all of us face, insecurity. Some are just better at hiding it. So don't pray to be like them and have their trials because what they are going through, you can never be sure. In this world of social media we have become what I dub "comparison happy". We look at someone's photo and wish we had that. What we fail to realize or rather acknowledge is that we only see what that person is willing to show. That is not to say that everyone is on the "gram" pretending to be XYZ. What I am saying is a picture is just a picture, be happy for the person and move on.
I try to read the book "The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success" every few months. The first chapter discusses the difference between object-referral and "self-referral. "The experience of the Self, or "self-referral," means that our internal reference point is our own spirit, and not the objects of our experience. The opposite of self-referral is object-referral. In object-referral we are always influenced by objects outside the Self, which include situations, circumstances, people, and things. In object-referral we are constantly seeking the approval of others. Our thinking and our behavior are always in anticipation of a response. It is therefore fear-based."
My brothers and sisters, what I urge you to do is reach a place of self-referral; where you are your own reference point. You can't use him, she or her because him, she nor her grew up in the same circumstances that you did. They don't face what you face. So how can you compare yourself to them good or bad. It's not fair to you. Let's be nicer to ourselves. Where you are now is exactly where you are supposed to be. If you want more then strive for it. Don't wish, don't want, don't compare. Do better.

7 ways in which your dental health affects your general health
Good oral health is not just important for your teeth and gums; it's important for your general wellbeing.
While poor dental care leads to cavities, did you know that other and more serious health problems can also result from bad oral hygiene? Bacteria in the mouth can travel throughout the body and cause a number of health problems that you may not even have thought of.
Heart Disease and Stroke
Poor oral health and in particular, periodontal disease – gum disease – has been linked to heart disease, clogged arteries, and stroke. Studies have shown that people with moderate or advanced gum disease are more likely to have heart disease than those with healthy gums. The bacteria from gum inflammation can enter your blood and travel to the arteries in the heart and cause hardening of the arteries.
The link between gum disease and diabetes appears to be a two-way street. Inflammation of the gums can aggravate the symptoms of diabetes and make it harder to control your blood sugar levels. At the same time, individuals suffering from diabetes are also more susceptible to periodontal disease, making proper dental care even more important for those with this disease.
Growing Risk of Dementia
Poor dental health is a risk factor for memory loss and has even been linked to the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. Inflammatory substances from infections in the mouth can enter nerve channels or the bloodstream and can increase the risk of brain inflammation causing brain cell damaging.
Respiratory Problems
When bacteria from oral inflammation travel through your blood to the lungs, it can irritate respiratory systems and exacerbate the symptoms of those patients already suffering respiratory problems. Both pneumonia and bronchitis have been linked to gum disease.
Erectile Dysfunction
Men with periodontal disease are seven times more likely to experience erectile dysfunction than men with a healthy mouth and good dental hygiene. Periodontal bacteria can enter the bloodstream, inflaming blood vessels and thereby blocking the flow to the genitals.
Risk of Pregnancy Problems and Premature Birth
Poor dental care has also been linked to problems with pregnancy, low birth weight and premature birth. Premature babies face a number of problems including breathing issues and infections.
Researchers have found that individuals with periodontal disease are more likely to develop cancer. In fact, you may be 11 times more likely to develop breast cancer or 54% more likely to develop pancreatic cancer if you have poor oral health or gum disease. Unsurprisingly, a visit to the dentist can also discover early signs of oral cancers – another reason for particularly smokers to go to the dentist.
Stay on top of your health with Smile Perfection
While we all know brushing and flossing keep your smile healthy, it's also quite obvious now that is contributes to the rest of your physical health. If you don't take proper care of your teeth, you could face far more serious consequences than a simple toothache or some unsightly stains.
At Smile Perfection, we are dedicated to looking after the oral health of your whole family. Contact our friendly team to arrange your appointment as soon as possible.

I am not a particularly good writer. Is it OK to get some help in writing my college-admissions essays? How much help is too much help? — Poor Writer
Some outside help is acceptable. You may certainly talk with people about ideas for the topic. And it's nice to receive encouragement from others. Once your first draft is finished, you can ask someone (teacher, parent, friend) to point out errors (punctuation, spelling, grammar). It is also acceptable to receive general feedback on areas that need revision. Help crosses the line when this person begins rewriting or editing your work.
The role of the essay has become more important recently in the admissions process at some schools. It is being used to distinguish students from others with similar test scores, grades, references and activities.
Some students, especially those applying to highly selective schools, are seeking help from educational consultants and essay specialists in order to get an edge over fellow applicants. Some are receiving far more help than is appropriate. The irony here is that college admissions officers can spot the too perfect essay. They have a good idea of what the writing of a typical teen should sound like. If an essay is too highly polished, they can compare it with your SAT essay or even ask your high school for a writing sample. Many schools now ask students to sign a statement saying their essays are their own work.

Hail to the Lion
Hail to the Lion
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The Nittany Lion has unfinished business.
After not cracking the top 10 in the 2015-16 Universal Cheerleading Association mascot competition, the Lion is aiming for No. 1 in 2016-17 — and the Lion Troop is ready to help take Penn State's beloved mascot to the top spot.
Enlisted by the human in the Lion costume, the Lion Troop student group is comprised of three juniors and one sophomore who contribute their talents in video, set making, props, construction, dance and publicity to raise the mascot's profile in the national competition.
For Ryan Heidig, a senior film major in the College of Communications, working in the Lion Troop means "being able to combine my passion for Penn State and being a part of something that's totally unique to Penn State. Using my skill set to produce content for the Lion and really affect audiences is my way of giving back to the University."
Their skits are approved by Penn State Athletics, with the guidance of adviser and Cheerleading Coach Curtis White. He explained that "the Nittany Lion is given precious time to perform the skits in front of Penn State's well over 100,000 fans at a football game. The skits must be entertaining and energized. This takes a ton of work and creativity. Being creative is the toughest part of any performance. The Lion Troop is an important piece in the puzzle."
Last year, the troop helped the Nittany Lion enter the Universal Cheerleading Association's mascot video competition, with a submission showcasing the Lion's work at Penn State community events, where the Nittany Lion placed 13th.
Now with one year under their belts, members of the Lion Troop are confident they have the right formula. Changes for the 2016-17 video submission will include more props and more planning, which the team hopes will propel the Nittany Lion to the live skit portion of this year's competition, to be held in Florida in January 2017.
According to Heidig, they have a "more defined plan for logistics and for making sure [they] create something that really encapsulates what the Lion does, and to see that it utilizes more of what the competition is really looking for," because the rules and judging are very detailed.
Typical of Penn Staters, the Lion Troop students bring an enthusiasm that goes beyond their primary goal — they also assist the Lion in his everyday work throughout the year as they're filming.
"People sometimes forget that there is a person inside there and sometimes it is good to have someone who is like a handler to really help the mascot get through the crowd," Heidig said. The Lion Troop can be the Lion's eyes and ears as they tail the mascot through home games, community service and events like THON. They're the voice, too. The Nittany Lion does not speak.
"Representing the Lion, to be able to interpret what the mascot needs, is something that I can really do to help," said Heidig.
Heidig first connected with the Lion while growing up in the same hometown. Later, the Lion noticed his videography talents because of a Facebook video that Heidig posted of the annual student-organized music festival Movin' On, where he directs the marketing. Heidig's prior internships have helped him find the best approach for getting the Lion in a winning position for the competition. Some of those techniques include bringing pop culture to life in the mascot's skits and incorporating Jumbotron videos during events. Recording and producing video of the Lion is a big time commitment, but he was able to use some of the video footage in his film major and documentary class.
The actual student playing the part of the Lion will be revealed during the mascot's last football and basketball home games of the upcoming season.
Until then, by way of a nodding head and flapping ears, the Lion expressed anticipation of achieving a higher ranking in the mascot competition this year.
Stay tuned for more updates on the Lion, the Lion Troop and their upcoming 2016-17 competition. You can keep up with the Lion Troop on Facebook or via their Instagram account, @lion_troop.

It is good to get them blades if you still can.
Myself I have only 1 "swede" blade in packgage, maybe 2 of the scandinavian capital ones. Well Espoo is not a finnish capital, but rather a large city nearby.
And 2 Surrey swedes and then over 100-140 Iridiums that Gordon tells are like Surrey swedes.
Regarding Feathers and Red Personnas and also the Crystals. There is a big difference. Feather is too sharp for me for what ever reasons. No matter how gentle I try to shave, and i have given a lots of chances, it just is not my fave blade. Almost any other blade, barring maybe Merkurs, will give me a gentle shave.
But as of now, how long are DE blades of any quality, any more manufactured? They might just stop quite soon all them blades, since cartridges are so much easier and dont need any technique to learn.
I will then gather (hoard) aenough of the middle of the road blades still in existing today, fast. To last my lifetime.
The Blade Count or How I lost my Mind and became a Hoarder
Let's talk about single and double edged razors and the blades that they use.

A direct link to a BIN auction is a problem? I thought you would be delighted. Perhaps I've misunderstood.mikey wrote:Sure, but I really didn't want to deal with eBay.
Those Merkurs... a pack of them came with my Vision razor and I remember tearing up my face pretty good with them and wondering if I was going to be able to wetshave at all. The Feathers seemed pretty good compared to the Merkurs and the Red IPs seem pretty good compared to the Feathers. Its interesting how the Merkurs are so expensive yet offer that kind of performance. Some kind of micro-burring or something going on with those Merkurs.
Blades dont take up much space hence are easy to hide.LookingGlass wrote:Wow...that is a lot of blades. How did the significant other manage this acquisition. ?
A main point I gleaned from this post is the words about the IP Red. One of my best, comfortable shaves is one of these in my '59 Fatboy. For some reason this blade/razor combo rocks for me.
My shave den is in the guest house (not on the beaten path) and "blades don't take up much space" lol. Here is a peek at my stash. A large-ish shipment of injectors is still in transit. My modest bathsoap collection is on the top shelf:alcx77 wrote: Blades dont take up much space hence are easy to hide.

Special Report—Coverage of the 2007 Alternative Investment Conference
There From Here
New alternative strategies are all about uncharted avenues, but that doesn't mean that they lack a sense of direction. The recent Alternative Investment Conference (AIC) offered both: showcasing emerging alternatives for attendees and providing the proper orientation. There are gains to be made, but only if you closely survey the landscape, and take the proper steps, speakers advised delegates at the gathering in Scottsdale, AZ in December. Those who stepped up to the podium outlined a guide to current—and future—alternative investment landscapes, eschewing shortcuts for the most efficient ways to investment opportunity and performance.

Facebook's roots may be planted in college campuses, but classrooms have not welcomed the social network as eagerly as their students have, Mashable reports. Once a Harvard startup open only to college students, Facebook has been pegged as a waste of time, a classroom disruption and a bad habit that is correlated with low grades. Missouri even went so far as to ban Facebook and other social media relationships between teachers and students (the law was later repealed). But teachers such as Reynol Junco–who recently published a study that shows certain types of Facebook use are correlated with higher GPAs–are beginning to look at ways that they can use Facebook to their advantage…

Only 5 Participants on this Isle of Skye Photography Workshop
I'm making this a pretty exclusive workshop with only 5 participants. I'll be doing all the driving to and from our shoots and accommodation. I've found that 5 students is a comfortable number and makes for a fun group.
In this Workshop we'll cover the following topics and techniques:

Finnich Glen – The Devils Pulpit
If the water levels are safe, we'll begin our descent into the strange underworld of Finnich Glen where the river runs red and the walls glow green.
Kilchurn Castle Sunset and Sunrise
The historic castle ruin on the shores of Loch Awe will leave you spellbound. We'll enjoy two opportunities to capture ideal conditions at the castle while we shoot sunset and sunrise at this iconic location on the lake shore.
While the Spring workshop offers lovely green colours, the winter workshop has a stronger chance of having snow capped mountains. Kilchurn Castle is majestic in all seasons.
The Hogwarts Express at the Glenfinnan Viaduct
Even if you're not a Harry Potter fan, the magnificent steam train over the Glenfinnan Viaduct is a sight to behold. I'll take you to the perfect viewpoint to capture a shot of the train in all it's glory.

Glencoe is one of the most historically significant locations in Scotland. We'll take in the sights of the Glen and visit the spectacular falls under the shadow of Buachaille Etive Mor.
Eilean Donan Castle
The quintessential Scottish castle image awaits. We arrive at Eilean Donan Castle just in time for sunset where we hope to catch the spectacular light show of the setting sun and blue hour.
The Isle of Skye
The Old Man of Storr
A visit to Skye is incomplete without making the (optional) hike up to the Old Man of Storr. Not only is the view spectacular in its own right but as a backdrop to the Old Man of Storr, it's like a scene out of a Tolkien novel. It doesn't get any better than this.
The good news is that even If you don't feel up to the hike you can still get beautiful images of The Old Man of Storr from the base of the hill, just like the one shown below. Just be sure to bring your telephoto lens and you can capture ethereal images from the road looking up the Storr.
It's also worth noting that you don't have to hike up in the dark for a sunrise shoot if you don't want to. You can capture amazing images even in the middle of the day. My favourite conditions are actually during the middle of the day when the weather is awful. Watch the video above where I explain how I captured my favourite shot of the Old Man of Storr.
The Moody Beach at Elgol
For sunset, we travel to the South West coast where we'll capture the rugged beauty of the beach at Elgol. With the dramatic Cuillin mountains in the distance and otherworldly rock formations on the beach you'll be spoiled for compositional choices.
The Quiraing On the Isle of Skye
Being on 'The Quiraing' is like being on another planet. The jutting rock formations and sinking meadows make for a dreamlike landscape that I can't compare to any other place on earth. When dramatic light hits this landscape it begins to glow and reveal fascinating details to those who wait.
While the Quiraing is spectacular during sunrise, it's also possible to witness amazing light at any time during the day. The image above was taken around noon.
The Fairy Pools
If you like photographing waterfalls you'll be in heaven at The Fairy Pools. There are so many waterfalls at Glen Brittle that you won't know what to do with yourself. I'll share with you my favourite spots along the river where the waterfalls are framed beautifully by the dramatic mountains.
The Fairy Glen
There are few places that offer the enchanted beauty of 'The Fairy Glen' with it's stone circles, crenelated hillocks and bizarre rock structures. Take a moment to stop a listen and you might just hear the voices of the fairies.
Sligachan Reflections
Those Gorgeous Highland Cows
Fill Your Memory Cards with Amazing Photography
This trip should provide you with a plethora of beautiful images and lots of wonderful memories to take home. After our multi-day adventure we drive back to Glasgow for a farewell dinner, fond goodbyes, drinks and laughs.
Fitness Requirements
Most of our shooting locations require very little hiking except for the optional hikes to the 'Old Man of Storr' (1 hour) and 'The Fairy Pools' (40 mins). These are optional and you can still capture great shots at the start of the trail if you don't feel up to the full hike. Everything else is a short stroll from the car.

Are you tired of stomping sewer rats, smashing skeletons, and mowing down goblins? Are you looking for a BIGGER challenge? Then you've come to the right place...
One of the games I was playing in recently died, and I'm looking to spend the extra energy and time running a low-roleplay, high-tactics game inspired by the Monster Hunter series. Instead of facing a bunch of low-level monsters as you claw and struggle your way through level advancement, the party will typically face one (or sometimes two) high-CR monster(s) across interesting and unique battlegrounds as they quickly advance in level and power.
The best part is: it doesn't matter if your character dies! Your mission success will be based entirely on whether or not the monster is killed. All you need is one player left alive when the smoke clears in order to collect your XP and move on. If the whole party dies, you get to respawn, switch up your tactics, and try again.
I'm looking for 4 to 6 players in order to keep the day-to-day combat manageable. (See below for some of my preliminary calculations regarding Experience Points and Challenge Ratings based on party size.)
What system are you using (D&D 3.5, 5e, Pathfinder, etc.)? D&D 5e.
What medium(s) are you using (PbP, MapTool, Discord, etc.)? PbP.
How often will you require people to post? At a minimum, daily; ideally more than once per day to keep combat flowing smoothly.
What kind of action(s) will be taken if a person does not post within the required time? Politely asked to leave the game so there is room for someone who can post daily.
Any supplementary programs needed? No.
What house rules does the game have? No "house" rules per se, but I will be using flanking rules which will usually only ever benefit the players since there is only one monster (see above). Alignment and downtime activities will be, in all likelihood, entirely irrelevant.
What restrictions are there on source material? Wizards of the Coast Official Material only please.
How do players create their characters? Level 1; Default Point Buy Rules: Available Points - 27; Maximum Attribute Before Racial Bonus - 15; Minimum Attribute Before Racial Bonus - 8; Starting Equipment Per Class/Background.
What other restrictions and/or requirements are there? Don't be a jerk.
Here is a quick chart I made to show the Challenge Ratings of the monsters you will be facing at each level (depending on how many fights you will face). For example, six characters of level 1 would reach level 2 after just one fight if they can manage to defeat a CR 5 enemy (bulette, triceratops, troll, etc.), or they could advance after two successful fights against CR 4 enemies (chuul, lamia, weretiger, etc.).

Anablephobia? It's Over.
If just thinking it causes you to start to feel the fear, it's time you did something about it. The good news is that we know that – for anyone who is determined – anablephobia can always be overcome.
If you are now ready to have this over and done with, here's what you can expect from us:
- Anablephobia significantly improved, maybe even gone within a day
- Absolute anonymity and complete discretion
- Experience with clients in over 70 countries
Get Started Now
We've developed two programs based on how much help you need. If you're a self-motivated person, our Home Study program will work great for you – or get one-on-one help with the 'VIP' program:
Home-Study Program: Vanquish Fear & Anxiety
Download Now or Order as shipped CD's and Workbook
• Download Now and Start Immediately
• Work in Private at Your Own Pace
One-on-One 'VIP' Program
Individually-Tailored Plan with a Highly Qualified Practitioner
• Board-Certified Practitioner
• Highly Developed System to Permanently Overcome the Underlying Fear
How This System Works
Re-'wiring' your unconscious mind is the key to this program – and its safe and surprisingly easy to do. Your rational mind knows that your Anablephobia is illogical. Yet the fear perseveres only because your subconscious has 'linked' the thought of looking up to a bunch of strong negative feelings – which get brought up automatically every time.
You have not been able to prevent your feelings of fear because you have not been given the methodology to change your feelings and associations. We'll help you learn this simple system to make the fear history. Success is on the way – all you need to do is get started:
- Contact us now to speak with a specialist. Contact Us Now >
It's Time to Vanquish Your Anablephobia: Treatment & Cure
We don't, in point of fact, 'treat', nor do we 'cure'. YOU are the one with the authority to modify your perceptions. Quite simply, we are here to hold your hand through this method of self-empowerment.
This system is going to help you overcome anger, sadness, fear and other negative feelings and help you replace those feelings with more positive ones. Time to say enough is enough. It is time for you to stop that cycle of negative thoughts.
Risk Factors & Causes for Anablephobia
An really disturbing incident from the past, is often (though, not always) the root cause of Anablephobia. In some cases, it appears the brain has produced the fear with no instigation. To locate the foundation, and substitute encouraging connections in place of the negative ones, is the solution. Individuals utmost at risk are:
• Those with a tendency to feel anxious and panicky
• Someone considered to be 'easily upset'
• Someone who deals with adrenal insufficiency

Indicators That You Need Assistance
To find out the gravity of the problem for you, use our 2 minute Online Assessment for Anablephobia Online Test although it is fairly clear cut: It is time to do something about the fear, if it is having a significantly negative effect on your life.
- By simply thinking about Looking Up, do you become woozy?
- Do your palms get clammy and your mouth feel like cotton?
- Does your heart feel like it's going to pound right out of your chest?
- Do you feel as though you are unable to stand?
These are just a few of the most common things people experience. Read more on the symptoms of anablephobia.
We not only help you deal with the symptom you experience, but we find the cause. Our goal is to have you get rid of the root cause of the fear.
Medications & Prescribed Drugs
We feel drugs and medication for Anablephobia aren't the best approach, but make sure you always follow a doctor's advice when taking or stopping any prescription. Pills might help you cope with your Anablephobia but only in the short term – they will not, in reality, help you eliminate it forever.
There is no drug specifically for Anablephobia – and with so many potential side effects, who wants to risk taking medication as a solution?
The good news is using our methods, you'll overcome Anablephobia, without the use of any meds..

Prinzhorn Dance School make a virtue out of incompetence: strong-willed, quasi-comedic, punkishly fucked-up. The basslines lurch while the rudimentary drums trip and stagger and try to stay upright—it's less a full-fledged rhythm section than a childish wish for one. A guy-girl duo, Tobin Prinz and Suzi Horn are closer to a plodding version of fellow Brits the Kills than our own White Stripes. Fault them for their faux-naive artiness if you must, but you try taking three wonky bass notes and building a song as inexplicably catchy as the nonsensical "Crackerjack Docker." Prinzhorn's home on DFA records makes more sense when you imagine the dance-friendly remixes that will doubtlessly spin off this debut, a caffeinated version of "Up! Up! Up!" possibly invigorating the jaded kids the way "House of Jealous Lovers" once did.
Part of what makes Prinzhorn so irresistible to these Yankee ears is their earnest Britishness, the mucky accents that allow a phrase like "cockroaches in my ice cream" or "white bread gives you cancer" to sound like anthemic manifestos worthy of the Clash. Whether that's deserved or simply the result of Anglophilia is beside the point: By any logical definition, this eponymous debut should be obnoxious, bound by its shambolic limitations. But somehow, despite a tendency toward repetition, this is an addictive mess of lo-fi pop, albeit one best indulged a handful at a time. "What you wear can get you killed/Hobgoblins!" Prinz intones on "Realer, Pretender." I might not know what the hell you mean, guv'nor, but I'm buying it.

6 Setting Priorities as a New Teacher for teaching students
Teachers need to adjust the long-haul objectives of the classroom, the prompt instructive requirements of the students and the huge volume of printed material that accompanies each task. Between composing exercise designs, checking exams and assignments, instructors regularly feel that it is difficult to fit everything in the given dead line.
At the starting, build up an arrangement of classroom rules and regulations. At the point when this is laid out unmistakably and students know how they ought to carry on amid the school day.
Here we are sharing some do's and don'ts for new teachers -
Organize the day by priorities: Teacher time administration must begin with setting needs and sorting out the day around the most vital errands. Compelling organizing is tied in with orchestrating remaining task at hand dependent on both the significance of the errands also the subsequent effect of the finished assignments. Teachers must have the capacity to evaluate whether ventures can be put on hold if the results are not as impactful as others.
Connecting is the key: Keep in mind, interfacing with your students is the most unique thing for an educator. The more you find out about your students the more they will find out about your substance. Certain straightforward signals like asking their name, leisure activities or only a basic grin as you enter include a considerable measure the long run. Being another educator, you can even arrangement an incredible ice-breaking session for those new faces
Strategically plan homework assignments: Assignments that basically request that students finish a set number of issues for training pointlessly consume valuable class time.
Observation is a good habit: Discover time amid your off period to watch different classrooms in your school building. Examine with your associates and other age group students about what you found in their classroom.
Panicking is not a good idea: Try not to fear to acknowledge what you don't know and aren't sure about. There might be a few inquiries asked by students whose answer you don't have a clue. Simply note it down and take a shot at them amid your off-period. Attempt to take things on your walk and acknowledge that you will commit errors. The way to steadiness is to ensure that you gain from those mix-ups. When you train your student, it is alright to commit errors, it opens the entryway towards increasing more learning.
Keep your tools handy: Dealing with your classroom projectors, speakers and pointers, the lesser nervous you will be in your moves. Use technical method to teach your students.
