American Flags around West Danville.
Made in the USA!
How did the American flag become just what it is today?
Folding up the American flag.
The U.S. flag is a solid icon of American identity and nationwide pride. Also called Old Glory, the United States flag has a colorful background and has undergone several changes since the very first main flag of 1777.
Today the U.S. flag contains thirteen horizontal stripes, seven red alternating with six white stripes. The stripes stand for the initial 13 colonies; the stars represent the 50 states of the country. The colors of the flag are symbolic also: red symbolizes strength and valiance, white represents purity and innocence as well as blue represents vigilance, determination as well as justice. Nevertheless, the reason the Continental Congress originally selected the red, white, as well as blue shades was not explained in the resolution adopting the flag. Chroniclers believe it was possibly a shade selection based on the British Union Jack, which had actually previously flown over the colonies.
Over time, some have actually connected slightly various definitions to the three colors, as an example, the color red representing the bloodshed spilled to protect our freedoms, however the significance of the initial definition has actually been fairly consistent since 1782.
Exactly how did the American flag turn into what it is today?
It is a lot more than the 3 colors or a "decoration". Consider the locations around the globe that the American flag has flown, consider the change it has undertaken throughout the decades on American soil. It is genuinely humbling to think about all that was provided as well as sacrificed to make sure that the American flag could fly easily throughout this country.
The flag that began with just 13 stars expanded to 50 with the addition of other states to the Union. The number of stars on the flag gradually rose to its existing number today in which a new star would certainly be included in the blue field on the 4th of July after the day of each new state's admission.
The variety of rotating straight red as well as white stripes has actually remained at thirteen except from 1795 to 1818 when fifteen stripes appeared on the flag to show the admission of Kentucky and also Vermont to the Union. In 1818, it was decided that including a stripe to the flag for every brand-new state would no longer occur as it will certainly make the flag appear crowded and also it would make the flag unwieldy. It was agreed then that the flag would certainly return to containing just thirteen stripes to stand for the original colonies.
The American flag is a symbol not only of strength, valor, purity, innocence, vigilance, determination as well as justice; it is a symbol of freedom. Freedom that has been battled so hard for over the decades. Freedom that has cost this nation and the households within a lot, and yet it is still a sign to those desiring they had the liberty that the country has.
Folding up the American flag.
Traditional flag rules recommends that before an American flag is stored or flown, its handlers must two times fold it in half lengthwise; after that (from the end opposite the blue area) make a triangular fold, remaining to fold it in triangles up until the other end is reached. This makes a triangular "cushion" of the flag with only heaven starred field showing outside, and also it takes thirteen folds to produce: two lengthwise folds and also eleven triangular ones.
The flag isn't really folded in this manner since each of the folds has a unique symbolic meaning; the flag is folded in this manner because it provides a dignified ceremonial touch that differentiates folding a flag from folding a normal object such as a blanket, as well as because it results an aesthetically pleasing, easy-to-handle form. This thirteen-fold procedure was a common method long before the production of a ceremonial assignation of "indicating" to each of the actions.
An intricate flag folding event including these definitions has since been designed for special events such as Memorial Day and also Veterans Day. These meanings are "genuine" in the feeling that they mean something to the people that join the ceremony, however they are not the reason that a flag is folded in the conventional thirteen-step fashion.
This is America as well as its symbol is the American Flag. This honorable icon has actually been targetted at, burned, spit on as well as stomped on, and yet she rises over and over. Despite the fact that many Americans near Vermont state happily fly the flag outside their homes and businesses daily, it is fitting that we, as a country, have actually set aside one particular day each year to recognize our flag and also to remember that it represents the beliefs and also values that we must aim to uphold. May God bless America and also those who protect her.

Can an iconic carafe actually change the way we people drink?
This month, Canada's "Back to the Tap" movement scored a major victory when Toronto became the largest city in the world to ban the sale and distribution of bottled water on municipal property. Across the Atlantic, London was also trumpeting the tap-water cause, but there was no furious lobbying or solemn voting going on at city hall. Instead, London's chosen instrument of change was taste (the aesthetic kind), epitomized by a tall, slender carafe called the "Tap Top."
Tap Top is the winner of the London On Tap design competition, created by the Mayor of London and water utility, Thames Water, essentially to make drinking tap water cool. The carafe will be rendered in glass, manufactured in England and sold to trendy restaurants, bars and hotels throughout the capital this spring. Eventually, it may also be produced for public sale. Only time will tell if the initiative will have a ripple effect, but its guiding principle—create it and they will drink—is sound enough. After all, isn't that what the bottled water industry has relied on all along?

Random traffic stops by the police in Norway are common. They set up road blocks and check every car that passes by for things like bald tires and other safety issues, unbelted passengers, people talking on cell phones and drunk drivers. It's the opposite of America, where police need a reason to pull someone over.
Norwegian officials don't mess around when it comes to driving drunk. They have zero tolerance for it and the consequences are so severe, very few people ever do it.
Norway has the strictest laws in Europe for drunk driving. The legal limit is 0.01%, which isn't much. A spoonful of cough syrup might push one into the illegal zone.
Whenever we have been to a dinner party, there is always a designated driver and that person won't even touch their lips to alcohol the entire evening. When we've been out to a restaurant and everyone's had a glass of wine, we either take a taxi home or have someone come get us. Many will walk an hour home even if they've had just one drink, because no one wants to run the risk of getting caught. There is mandatory jail time involved plus loss of driver's license and a huge fine - which is on a sliding scale and is the equivalent to a month and a half's salary times how many points over 0.01% a person is.
There is no plea bargaining or getting a good lawyer to help out in drunk driving cases, so if a person gets caught, they're guilty. The consequences are swift and steep. America has a thing or two to learn in that regard.
It seems the foreigners, especially those from Eastern Europe, have yet to take the drunk driving laws in Norway as seriously as the locals, as their jails are packed with immigrants who've been caught driving drunk.
The Norwegian police also set up roadside blocks early Monday morning to check people going to work. If someone has been drinking over the weekend, there might be residual alcohol in their system come Monday morning, so many folks get caught then.
One guy I read about, the son of a rich shipbuilder, got caught in a random road side stop with a 0.09% alcohol level. He had to pay about $130,000 for his drunk driving ticket, spend three weeks in jail and he lost his license for over two years. When stuff like that makes the headlines, people understand that zero tolerance means zero tolerance no matter who you are. If he gets caught driving drunk again within five years, he'll lose his license for life. They don't mess around.
I also read about a woman that got caught in a random stop with alcohol on her breath. She spent thirty days in prison where they kept her busy chopping wood, she lost her license for three years and had to go to rehab. Her fine was the equivalent of about $78,000. Her blood alcohol level was 0.07%, which in Washington State, isn't even illegal.

YES | Time To Eat: Featuring Christine
I hope everyone had an excellent Thanksgiving Day weekend. It's my favorite holiday – even though it was spawned by a ridiculous take-over wrapped up in a package of bullshit – because all you do is eat and lay around with your people for a long weekend, without having to scramble to buy presents or a multitude of other items deemed necessary by tradition. It also floats around my son Max's Birthday, making the weekend even better.
Don't get me wrong, I like all the holidays, even the lame ones. They're kind of like big dinners, because for a short period of time we all have something huge in common: a pre-determined communal setting in which a variety of things can take place to heighten the moment. Like if you're invited to a dinner with a large group and the food sucks tremendously, or someone pukes on the table. These incidents mark time and will hilariously be remembered as that dinner.
So while a lot of people get stressed out during these last couple of months of the year, remember that this is a period when we all have more in common with each other. A hurricane, a blackout, the holidays, these are the times when a feeling of community comes into play, and I dig it.
My super original idea was to do a sexy food story, but I didn't, and while this story doesn't have a lot to do with Thanksgiving, or the year-end holidays, there is something in the oven that conveniently ends up on the table…
So bring a big appetite.
Happy Birthday Max xoxo

PPP decides to file three appeals against Benazir Bhutto case verdict
KARACHI: The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) has decided to file three appeals in court against the anti-terrorism court verdict in former prime minister Benazir Bhutto murder case, ARY News reported.
"We express remorse over the verdict announced in Benazir murder case. We will file three appeals in court against this verdict. The appeals would be filed on behalf of former president and Benazir's spouse Asif Zardari, as being a heir he holds the right for it," said PPP's counsel Latif Khosa while addressing a press conference in Lahore on Thursday.
He said one of the appeals would be against former president Pervez Musharraf, whose case was delayed and then eventually put on back burner on the basis of abscondment.
"It was the federal government's job, and not the Supreme Court's, to put his name on the Exit Control List (ECL), but former interior minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan provided him the safe passage," he said blaming the center for patronising the former president in fleeing from the country.
He said legally, court was not bound to wait for the fugitive to return from abroad.
Read More: Five suspects acquitted in Benazir Bhutto murder case detained
He said under Section 19, the court had full authority to announce punishment for Musharraf as he was fully responsible for Benazir's security.
Latif Khosa said soon after the incident the site of the incident was made washed which was not possible without order from top ranks.
On August 31, an anti-terrorism court (ATC) announced verdict in the December 27, 2007 assassination of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto, acquitting the five accused while declaring Pervez Musharraf as absconder.
The court also ordered confiscation of the movable and immovable property of Musharraf, who was implicated in the case in February 2011.
The court found Saud Aziz, who was the city police chief at the time of the assassination of Bhutto, and Khurram Shahzad, former Superintendent of Police (SP) Rawal Town in Rawalpindi, guilty of mishandling the crime scene and awarded them imprisonment of 17 years.
It also imposed a penalty of Rs500,000 each on both the convicts and ruled that in case of non-payment of the fine they will have to undergo additional imprisonment of six months.
After a decade-long trial, the court had reserved verdict in the case of the assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto on Wednesday after the counsels of the suspects concluded their arguments.
The ATC was hearing the case for last nine years since Benazir Bhutto was assassinated during a public gathering at Liaquat Bagh in Rawalpindi on December 27, 2007.

REAVLEY, THOMAS SR., retired miner and well known citizen, of Riverton, Sangamon County, is a son of William and Mary (Berlison) Reavley, natives of England, and was born November 12, 1835, in Schuykill County, Pa., where his father was a coal miner. His parents had come from their native land to America in 1834. The father became superintendent of several mines in turn and remained in Pennsylvania some years, then moved to Shullsburg, Wis., where he was successful as a prospector for lead. After twelve years' residence in Wisconsin, he moved to LaSalle County, Ill., to accept the superintendency of a mine. Several years later he went to similar employment at Springfield. From Springfield he finally retired to LaSalle, Ill., where he died, aged ninety-seven years. He and his good wife lie side by side in Oak Ridge Cemetery, Springfield. They and five sons and four daughters.
Thomas Reavley Sr. was educated in the district school at Silver Creek, Pa., and early learned mining, at which he was long employed in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Illinois, until his retirement from active life a few years ago. He is of the stuff of which soldiers are made, and April 1, 1861, when war had become an assured fact but had not progressed beyond its beginning, he enlisted at LaSalle, Ill., in Company K, Eleventh Regiment, Illinois Volunteer Infantry, in which he saw continuous service until the end of hostilities, when he was discharged at Bird's Point, Mo., with the honor due a good and faithful soldier. His brother Joseph also did soldier's duty in the Civil War. In 1869 Mr. Reavley located at Springfield, whence, after some years, he removed to Riverton, where he has since lived. He is a member of the Grand Army of the Republic and of the Methodist Episcopal church. In his political affiliations he is a stanch Republican.
At LaSalle, Ill., in 1859, Mr. Reavley married Miss Jane Hughes, born in Wales, September 20, 1838, the daughter of a miner who came to America and became well known in mining circles in LaSalle, Ill., later removing to Riverton, where he and his wife both passed from the scenes of this life. Mrs. Reavley bore her husband ten children, of whom the following survive: Mrs. Phema Bell, of Riverton; William Reavley, miner, of Riverton; Robert, County Mine Inspector and Examiner, Riverton; George, of Riverton; Margaret, wife of William Wanless, manager of the Klondike mines, Riverton.

Giving hints can be one of life's best gifts. Apparently, life has been trying to get my attention. Over the last 6 months, I've heard "just do it" repeated over and over again. Every culture has many sayings that we've been taught since we were toddlers. Stop me if these sound familiar: If it sounds too good to be true…. Money is the root… Money can't buy….

How to Bead For Halloween!
Halloween is arguably my favorite holiday for the fun factor: watching my son get dressed up in his costume, carving pumpkins, and, of course, my favorite fall foods like roasted pumpkin seeds and apple cider donuts. But even if you don't dress up for Halloween, if you know how to bead, you can make some pretty cool Halloween-inspired beaded jewelry! Here are a few suggestions for how to bead for Halloween, along with some of my favorite Halloween beading supplies!
|Tiny ceramic skull and teeth beads are great for getting into the Halloween spirit, and these little beauties can be found in The Crafty Bead Etsy shop, along with other ghoulish goodies like coffin beads, eyeball beads, ghost beads, and jack 'o' lantern beads!
|Just because it's Halloween, that doesn't mean that you have to use skull and ghost beads. These wonderful black Lucite flowers from The Hole Bead Shop are dramatic all year long — and this particular Lucite flower bead comes apart into separate components that can be layered.
|More skulls! Cabochons are a favorite jewelry making supply of mine, and I'm having a blast working up two new Halloween necklaces with these. The cowboy skull cabochon is from Bead Stalkers, and the ceramic three skulls cabochon is by Lisa Peters Art.
|While I love the texture of the fish leather from Naturebeads, some of my friends have told me that it looks a little…well, creepy. Perfect for Halloween, right? The scaly texture of the fish leather, especially in green, looks like it could be alien skin!
|Always appealing to my inner science fiction geek, the wonderful work of MAKUstudio works just as well at Halloween as it does the rest of the year for making cutting-edge beaded jewelry. Use your imagination — what kind of Halloween jewelry would you bead with this handmade ceramic cabochon?
Now, the "trick" to using all of these delightful Halloween treats is knowing how to bead, whether it's bead stringing, bead embroidery, off-loom bead-weaving, or maybe wire wrapping or even mixed media jewelry techniques like resin. And if you need some fresh ideas and fresh techniques for how to bead with some of these fun Halloween beading supplies, check out Beads, Baubles, and Jewels TV Series 1700 on DVD!

Her property holdings, known as the Crown Estate, posted a record profit of 240.2 million pounds ($377.4 million), a net rise of 4 percent in the year through March 2012 largely due to strong tenant demand for its shops in the upmarket Regent Street and St James's districts of London.
What Crown Estate owns:
(view slideshow for some more cool stuff she owns)
- The Crown Estate owns most of Britain's coastline and seabed out to 12 nautical miles.
- Rights to native mussels and oysters in Scotland
- Salmon fishings in both tidal and non-tidal waters in Scotland
- The Crown Estate has a number of mineral interests on and off its rural estates. Although not involved with the physical process of mining, it issues licences to others. Space 115,000 hectares
- Rights to all naturally occurring gold and silver - known as the Mines Royal - belong to The Crown Estate. This means the Estate's permission is needed to take away Crown gold in any form.
Lovely I'm sure

Tips for answering multiple choice questions
Test takers sometimes have problems with multiple choice questions because they allow themselves to believe that these types of questions are easier than other types, and so don't pay close enough attention to the details of each question. It is very important for testers to pay close attention to every word of standardized test questions, no matter how the questions are formatted. Mastering for multiple choice questions is a key component to successful standardized testing. The following tips for answering multiple choice questions can be very beneficial the next time you take a standardized test. Make sure you understand the instruction clearly. For example, should you choose the best answer, or are you supposed to be identifying an alternative that is false?

This edgy classic got a cool makeover.
If you were to say "classic American coupe," the 1978 Oldsmobile Cutlass isn't exactly the first shape that comes to mind. Admittedly, it probably isn't the second or third either. But when you slam one to the ground, swap-in a custom lowrider suspension, and give it some visual flair…the aged Cutlass shows some serious charm.
And that's exactly what the guys at Gas Monkey Garage did to this '78 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme - the shop's first foray into the classic hydraulic lowrider - during the latest episode of Discovery's Fast N' Loud. Expectedly, it isn't without its unique touches.
Traditional ground-hopping lowriders sit on a set of hydraulic cylinders, which can push a piston with enough force to shimmy and dance these slammed cars across the pavement. It's incredibly cool, but the side effect can be an absolutely medieval ride. For this build, Gas Monkey Garage's Aaron Kaufman melded that conventional hydraulic setup with a custom coil-over suspension, which aims to give this GM A-body the best of both worlds.
The custom overhaul continues on the Cutlass Supreme's exterior, which nets the traditional shouty lowrider paint, intricate patterns, pin striping, and even some gold leaf. A set of Supreme US Wheels duck for cover underneath the low body, a bit of chrome fancies up the engine bay, and an Alpine stereo system finds a home in the minty green dashboard.
Otherwise, this Cutlass retains much of its stock equipment. The Oldsmobile interior looks about the same as it did in 1978, and the 260 cubic inch V8 and automatic transmission under the hood remain unmodified. Perhaps creating a dragstrip "sleeper" lowrider is another episode. The car failed to find a buyer when it debuted at the Gas Monkey Bar N' Grill, but it doesn't look like it'll be unclaimed for long. Richard threw it online and bidding has already passed its reserve.

Residents in Howick and across south Auckland are getting ready to roll their new rubbish bins out for collection starting on Monday 4 September.
Get ready to roll – things to remember:
- You don't need to buy rubbish bags. Rubbish can be placed directly in the bin.
- The last collection day for the old plastic rubbish bags is Friday 1 September.
- Your rubbish collection days stay the same. Put your bin on your kerb by 7am on your usual collection day.
- There is no extra charge for the standard 120-litre bin – your rubbish bin collection is paid for by your rates.
A better choice for the environment
Manukau Ward Councillors Alf Filipaina and Fa'anānā Efeso Collins are looking forward to the important environmental and safety benefits when we bin the bags in favour of the new wheelie bin collection service.
"Rubbish bins are the better environmental choice, they keep our streets cleaner and safer for everyone," says Councillor Filipaina.
Councillor Collins says ditching rubbish bags will feel like a big change for some, but it is possible to fit an average family's weekly rubbish into the standard bin if we reduce our waste.
"When we switch to bins, everyone will need to reduce the amount of rubbish we are throwing out. We can all learn to waste less and reuse more."
Top tips to waste less and reuse, reduce and recycle more
Use reusable plates and utensils at gatherings and wash them, instead of using plastic items and throwing them out.
Did you know food waste makes up 40 per cent of our rubbish? This can be composted, putting the goodness back in your garden. Sign up for a free composting workshop at Compost Collective to learn more.
Wash and squash plastics before putting in your recycling bin. Take soft plastics to supermarkets to be recycled.

Release Notes¶
Changes from v0.1468.0 to v0.1469.0
- Verified with garden-linux-release v0.337.0.
- Verified with etcd-release v45.
- Verified with cflinuxfs2-rootfs-release v1.1.0.
Significant changes
IMPORTANT: This version of Diego is vulnerable to CVE-2016-3091, which is related to the Diego executor's parsing of log output at UTF-8 boundaries. We strongly recommend that all operators on Diego v0.1468.0 through v0.1470.0 upgrade to Diego v0.1471.0 or later. Diego v0.1472.0 is recommended for use with the recently released CF v237 and should be compatible with CF v236.
IMPORTANT: This version of Diego completes the extraction of the cflinuxfs2 rootfs to its own release. In order to deploy Diego for use by CF, upload the cflinuxfs2-rootfs release to your director and ensure that you are using the
cflinuxfs2-rootfs-setup job from that release on the cells in place of the
rootfses job. If you are installing additional certificates in the cflinuxfs2 trust store, change those certificates to be under the
cflinuxfs2-rootfs.trusted_certs property instead. The diego-release manifest-generation scripts handle the job-template and property change transparently.
IMPORTANT: This version of Diego also removes the CC-Bridge jobs that were previously copied to capi-release and linked into cf-release. On the
cc_bridge VMs in the Diego deployment, change the release of the
nsync, and
tps jobs from
diego to
cf. The diego-release manifest-generation scripts handle the job-template changes transparently. This version of Diego also then requires CF at version 236 or later for those jobs to be present and fully functional. For the time being, the BOSH properties for those jobs are the same, but an upcoming version of CF will change those properties from the
diego namespace to
BBS Benchmarks
BBS Relational Datastore (Experimental)
- As a Diego operator, I should be able to generate a Diego manifest with connection info for a relational store
- SQL convergence: tasks with missing cells and tasks pending for too long should be marked completed
- LRP convergence in SQL should not error when emitting metrics when there are no desired LRPs
- Document BBS benchmarks configuration required to target either etcd or MySQL
- As a Diego developer, I expect inigo and component integration test suites to run against both MySQL and etcd in CI (in flight)
- As a Diego developer, I expect BBS unit tests to run against both MySQL and etcd in CI
- As a Diego operator, I should be able to follow documentation to provision an RDS MySQL instance to support my AWS Diego deployment
Volume Support (Experimental)
- Volume Drivers are discoverable
- Volume Drivers are activated the first time they are used
- Volume Driver requests are retried with backoff before failing
- Clean up certification suite so other teams can use it
- Refactor driver discovery so that driver registry is owned by volman and acted upon by the driver syncer
- Update Driver.Activate to return an array of 'Implements' as required by the docker spec
- Refactor Driver routes to actually match the docker volume API; i.e. /create -> /VolumeDriver.Create
- Volman can discover docker drivers in an ordered list of folders
- move system to gunk
- fix failing inigo volman tests

Major Areas of Interest:
The Animal Models of Infectious Diseases Training Program, funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), established for the first time a training grant in microbiology at UC Davis. The program seeks to train talented graduate students to conduct studies of human infectious diseases using animal models and novel biological methods that are evolving from the revolutions in genomics and bioinformatics. The co-localization of the Graduate School, the Schools of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine, and the California National Primate Research Center combine to make UC Davis a unique environment in which to conduct this training. The environment is further enhanced by the Center for Comparative Medicine, a training resource that exists nowhere else in the world, and by a major genomics initiative at UC Davis. The mentors for the training program are 23 NIH-funded investigators at UC Davis, whose work uses animal models to better understand a broad range of viral and bacterial human pathogens. Six students are funded each year, with renewal for one year contingent on satisfactory research progress. Projects of recent trainees include studies of Helicobacter pylori, Yersinia enterocolitica, HIV, influenza, Malaria, HIV, and Salmonella, and Borrelia burgdorferi, using both mouse and primate models. Training emphasizes rigorous scientific research, oral and written scientific communication, and interaction with a broad range of scientists interested in animal models of human infectious diseases.

Growing An Educator Pipeline Starts By Sparking Student Passion For Teaching
When Michael Shaner was a freshman at Smyrna High School he joined the Future Educators Association club to explore an interest in teaching. At that time, club members mostly talked about issues in education and what a career in teaching entailed. But Shaner wanted experience working with kids, so he started a tutoring program at the local elementary school two times a week. He says these experiences changed his life.
"It is the reason I am a teacher," Shaner said. He returned to his hometown after college and got a job teaching at his alma mater, where he now runs a more robust version of the program that so forcefully set him on his professional path. "It allowed me to fall in love with what I wanted to do and be sure that's what it was," he said.
Future Educators Association is now called Educators Rising and it has 2,000 participating schools across the country.* Some states have career pathways dedicated to education as part of their Career Technical Education (CTE) offerings, while others have more informal extracurricular programs. At comprehensive high schools in Delaware, students take college preparation classes as usual, but they also take three credits of a career pathway, of which teaching is one.
Shaner gives a pretty thorough introduction to the history of education and various pedagogical models in the introductory course in Smyrna's teaching pathway. He then moves on to some of the more practical elements of teaching. Students write lesson plans, develop Individualized Education Programs (IEP) for hypothetical students with special needs, and learn how to comply with legal requirements. When they are seniors, students also get to work in classrooms around the district, first observing, then working to design interventions for one student. The responsibilities gradually scale up until the student has the opportunity to teach a full class.

"When they go to college they are so far ahead of the game that they are able to excel and dig deeper," Shaner said. Perhaps more importantly, participating high school students are getting a pretty good idea of what teaching is really like. At the end of the Teacher Academy some students decide it's not for them, but others have found a lifelong passion.
Shaner doesn't shy away from talking about the hard parts of education with his students. He leads discussions on funding inequalities and segregation, different forms of teacher evaluation, and the work load. During the first marking period of senior year, when students are observing in real classrooms, Shaner makes sure they have to do a lot of the "grunt work" inherent to the job, like photocopying and making bulletin boards. He wants them to understand that while working with kids may be what excites them, paperwork is part of teaching too.
Tyler Jones was part of a teaching program at his high school in Virginia Beach. He interned in a music class and worked with a student who often acted out. Jones was able to form a connection with the boy and the gratification he felt when his student made progress hooked him on teaching.
"I want to be that for my own students one day," Jones said. He's currently attending Tidewater Community College and speaks about his experiences with Educators Rising regularly. He's grateful he had the opportunity to explore a career while still in high school, instead of potentially committing four years of college to something he didn't know much about.
Educators Rising announced it will now offer free micro-credentials that high school and college students can earn to demonstrate competency in specific skills. The courses take between five and 15 hours to complete and include anti-bias instruction, classroom culture, collaboration, formative assessment and learner engagement. The micro-credential represent topics that may not be covered in high school teaching courses, but are ones that Educator Rising believes will be crucial for future teachers to be successful.
"They are designed to articulate clearly to young people who are interested in teaching, here is the bar for taking those first steps," said Educators Rising Co-Director Dan Brown. A micro-credential is an asynchronous course offered through an online platform that requires participants to learn about and then try research-based practices in their own interactions with students. They then submit evidence of their work, get feedback from reviewers, reflect on what they've learned and ultimately must demonstrate competency in the set of skills to earn the credential.
"These skills are designed to coherently connect with the skills teachers need in the classroom," Brown said. The five micro-credentials Educators Rising currently offers are rooted in the standards the organization developed with the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. High schools around the country can use Educators Rising curriculum in their classes to essentially map out the first phase of a teacher's career. Now, they can also augment those courses with the new micro-credentials.
Brown said the micro-credentials are intended to clarify and build foundational mindsets for teachers of the future. "It can be hard to know where you stand as a teacher," he said. "I fear that a lot of folks in classrooms are sort of winging it and determining their success based on how they feel about the experience that may be untethered from professional standards of practice." Brown says the micro-credentials his organization has developed are not a substitution for a teacher credential, but rather a way for high school students interested in teaching to deepen their skills and demonstrate their commitment to colleges and future employers.
Shaner helped pilot the micro-credentials with his students at Smyrna High School and has mapped them onto his curriculum so that feedback students get on their micro-credential work is now part of their final grade in his class. He says his students were already building a robust portfolio during their time in his program, but it's only certified by Smyrna School District.
Shaner appreciates that the feedback and practice loop inherent in the micro-credential builds students' sense that teaching must always be a reflective practice, and that once they have classrooms of their own they will always be learning and adapting to the students in front of them.
"This will look really good to colleges and future employers in the education system because it will show we take this seriously," Tyler Jones said about earning micro-credentials. He plans to take them on top of his other coursework.
Sponsored By
"They're fired up about making a difference," Brown said of young people like Jones. Even better, Brown cited a report that found 60 percent of teachers end up working within 15 miles of where they went to high school. Getting current high school students interested in teaching could be one of the best ways to build a teacher pipeline back to the building. And, he hopes that the micro-credentials could help guide those young teachers with skills that will particularly useful in today's classrooms.
Shaner said the Smyrna School District regularly hires its graduates after college. The district sees the Teacher Academy as a strong recruiting tool. And Brown says 51 percent of Educator Rising participants across the country are students of color, so academies like the one at Smyrna High could also be a way to attract a more diverse teaching staff. For schools that don't have programs as robust as Smyrna's, the micro-credentials could be a good way for students interested in teaching to start building a track record of commitment to teaching.
*A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that 850 schools partner with Educators Rising. The correct number is 2,000. We regret the error.

Fun day at a new museum in town a few weeks ago. Not much to say here but cool textures and backgrounds everywhere.
Aperture priority. Shot with my 18-55mm @ f3.8 and exposed for 1/60 sec at ISO 720. How you guys doing? Everyone ready for spring?
Fun day at a new museum in town a few weeks ago. Not much to say here but cool textures and backgrounds everywhere.
Aperture priority. Shot with my 18-55mm @ f3.8 and exposed for 1/60 sec at ISO 720. How you guys doing? Everyone ready for spring?
This photo completely appeals to me and maybe it's because it reminds me of that old Alfred Hitchcock movie the Birds. It's kind of creepy and cool all at once. I applied some split toning to the photo until I was happy with it.
While sitting on my dining room floor testing some new camera settings, the sun was shining brightly overhead. I noticed a flock of birds resting on the tree across the street and every so often several of them would fly off. It was odd because the scene kept replaying but there was still the same amount of birds left in the tree. So below is what I captured through both my camera shutter and through my window shutter; hence, through two shutters…
More practice with specular highlights. The hexagonal dots are created by the shape of the aperture. The only way to achieve perfectly round highlights is to shoot at a completely wide open aperture which in my case, would have been 1.8. I like the interest the hexagonal shapes add to the photo. Hope you are enjoying your weekend! –Angela
Aperture priority. 50 mm f1.8, ISO 800 and exposed for 1/180 sec at f8.
"In close-up photography, any out-of-focus spots of light appearing inside the viewfinder will record on digital media or film in the shape of the aperture in use. Additionally, the distance between the main subject and the background lights determines just how large and diffused the out-of-focus spots will be. The spots are called specular highlights." — Bryan Peterson, from Understanding Exposure.
Aperture priority, 50mm at ISO 100. Exposed for 1/350 sec at f2.8.
Yesterday I posted this photo of what I thought was the female peacock…
In fact, the photo above is a young male that does not yet have a full tail. I looked in my photos and I must not have taken an image of the female, most likely because she was not as impressive as the males. I remember making a funny comment to the owner about how it figured the female was nothing special. Sorry, I dissed a sista! But I will make sure that the next time I visit to capture her beauty. If it wasn't for the women, where would this world be? Right ladies? Sorry if I ruffled anyones feathers, guys included. 😉
Why do I suddenly feel like reading Dr. Suess?

Samsung Gear VR is a virtual reality headset from Samsung and Oculus VR that uses the Galaxy Note 4 smartphone as a screen and processing unit.
Apple, on the other hand, has been pretty mum on the topic of virtual-reality. It has announced no new products or applications; in fact, it hasn't said anything at all about it. Most of the world's attention is focused on the Apple Watch. It seems as if the virtual-reality revolution is being overlooked by a large percentage of the population, at least as far as Apple users go.
Everybody else in the world knows about the power, investment and wealth of some of the companies in the Third World, and the Americans, to date, are still not aware that these companies hold tightly to the ideas of making profit without having to work for it, not having to be taxed much for it, and not having to pay cheap labor, which is in abundance in the developing countries.

The lounges will be stocked with the units as soon as mid-February, whereas the planes themselves won't be offering the device until mid-March.

So instead of using digital technology to create more time and creative space for people, we used it to take more time from people. The technologies we developed became much more about retaining the attention of consumers, monitoring employees, and keeping people engaged 24/7. Email, for example, is not intrinsically annoying. It would sit there and wait until we got to it. It's the people on the other side of the email whose expectations have been raised. And we who have agreed to keep checking, or to get pinged every time someone wants us.
The very ideas we assume are 'ideas' but computer and web generated and facilitated as we understand, know and use them today, are to be questioned and looked at anew. In our sheer dependence and relying on these new ideas in the new environments of the present-day technological societies, we are going to have to reexamine the check these guys out past and presently held assumptions, and gullibility to the new ways of seeing and thinking, as molded and determined by the this environment. The war on ideas is caused by our failure to understand and know that these media gizmos, techniques and environments are the causes of our dependency-as we have allowed this to happen.
