Springlands, Corriverton – Relatives of a five-year-old girl on the Upper Corentyne are calling on the police and relevant authorities to deal with a young teacher who they allege has been abusing their child for over six months.The child?s aunt, who is also a teacher attached to Corriverton Primary, is convinced that her niece is being abused physically and verbally at school.The aunt said that the alleged abuses began some time in November last year. In December, she made a report to the Department of Education. She said that she spoke to Nursery Education Officer Mrs Bibi Alli but, according to the aunt, the officer said that the child was lying and did not take the matter seriously.She then made a report to Commander of ?B? Division, Stephen Merai,

, who ordered a police officer at the Springlands Police Station to visit the child?s school, Springlands Nursery, to warn the teacher [name given] in question.However, the aunt is not sure if the teacher was warned by anyone about her behaviour towards the child.The grandmother of the child claims that on Tuesday, May 18, the teacher slapped and beat her granddaughter. She visited the school the next day and asked the Head Teacher of the school to speak to the teacher,

, which she did.The grandmother had hoped that everything would be all right. However, the alleged abuse continued. The grandmother claims that the teacher would usually instigate other children to hit her grandchild whenever the other children give her a complaint in the classroom, instead of dealing with the matter properly.She also claims that the teacher told her granddaughter,

, ?I hate this gyal. She should?ve been transferred long ago?.According to the child?s relatives, the child was beaten for three consecutive days, and came home with brands on her upper arm and back. They also claim that last December, the teacher whipped the child with a bamboo for giving an incorrect answer to a question. The young teacher in question was also blamed for hurling insults to the child, who has been very scared to return to the teacher?s classroom.When Kaieteur News spoke to five- year- old {name given}, who was all dressed for school, she told this reporter verbatim what the teacher allegedly told her on several occasions. ?She say she hate me,
Cheap NFL Jerseys
, and she put me on the [school?s] veranda and when I tried to go inside back,
Wholesale Football Jerseys
, she pushed me out back.??She lash me with she hand?,
Wholesale China Jerseys
, the child said. During the interview, the child had an exercise book in her hand. She was making drawings with a pencil in the book as she related little details to this newspaper. She said that she is afraid to go back to school.One of the child?s aunts, a teacher, had penned a letter to the Guyana Chronicle recently about the incidents. The letter was published in last Thursday?s edition and captioned ?Springlands Nursery School teacher physically and verbally abusing children?.According to the relatives, a number of parents have transferred their children from the school out of fear of the teacher?s behaviour.?She beat a child with a pipe, and the child?s mother [name given] transferred the child,
Cheap Jerseys China
,? the grandmother said.The aunt claims that the teacher had openly boasted about relationships she has with the education officials and police, fuelling the fears in relatives? minds about the continuity of the alleged abuse of their niece and grandchild.They said that the matter had been reported several times to the Department of Education and police and no one is taking them seriously.The Region Six Education Officer responsible for Nursery schools, Mrs Bibi Alli, who incidentally is currently performing the duties of Regional Education Officer, since Mrs Shafiran Bhajan is out of the country, gave a totally different side of the story.Mrs Alli said that she received a complaint about the matter and a team, including her, visited the school last December. She said within 15 minutes of conducting their investigations at the Springlands Nursery School, the child?s relatives barged into the school and began verbally abusing the teachers. She said that they were also using indecent language in front of all the children.Mrs Alli said that she was traumatised and after the incident her investigations came to an abrupt halt. She said that she immediately contacted the Springlands Police Station and got on to the Region Six Chairman, who then sent a police officer to the school.She said that the incident left the children cowering together for a few minutes as it had traumatised them also. They (the relatives) left, and then the police arrived.The acting Regional Education Officer also alleged that on May 25, she received a telephone call from the Head Teacher of the school reporting that the parent visited the school and was threatening to ?abuse and beat? all of the teachers.Again, the police were summoned. Mrs Alli said in her opinion, the parent and relatives may have personal issues with the teacher in question.She further mentioned that although her department was not allowed by the parents to conduct an investigation, her analysis of the situation proves that there was never any case of child abuse. ?Our investigations proved that there were no beatings. She [the child] doesn?t want to go along with the school rules,? Mrs Alli stated.She also said that she was made to understand that the parents allegedly promised to put a ?fine cut- tail? on all of the teachers there at the end of this term since their daughter would be leaving the nursery division to attend primary school come September.Mrs Alli said that the School Welfare Officer?s report of the matter related that the child is a bully at the school and the teachers are scared to reprimand the her because the parents are supporting the child?s bad behaviour.Kaieteur News then contacted the acting Head Mistress of the school,

, who denied all of the allegations of child abuse. The Head Teacher said that she never saw any branding on the child and that corporal punishment is not used in her school.Meanwhile,

, the child has not attended school since the incidents took a different turn last week.(Leon Suseran)

Patrick Schwarzenegger kisses his girlfriend Abby Champion goodbye before heading their separate ways on Monday night (July 11) in Beverly Hills, Calif.
The 22-year-old actor was caught by TMZ that night and was asked if he "aims" to get hot girlfriends like Abby that look like models.

"I don't need to aim, I get it," Patrick replied to the paparazzo and then repeated himself when the man couldn't hear him well.

The Mirror is reporting something that has been in the Spanish papers for several weeks now – that Newcastle target Lucas Perez has had enough of the Premier League with Arsenal and wants to return to his former club Deportivo in Spain.
The report says that Perez has turned down the chance to move to Newcastle on loan and instead he will return to Spain and his former club.
A return to Deportivo was what Perez was reported to want all along, and it looks like he will be on loan next season in Spain and then the Spanish club will have an option to buy him for a reasonable £10M next year.
Lucas Perez – wants to return to Deportivo
That would have been an excellent deal for Newcastle – if we could have persuaded Lucas to join us.
We will now have to look elsewhere if Rafa wants to bring in another striker this summer – which we assume he does.
The 28-year-old Spaniard would have been a great signing for us because he has real class, but it he didn't want to come to Newcastle.
So be it.
We only want players who want to play for Newcastle.
Cross Perez off the list.
What do you think?
Comment welcome.

Regarding the Huddersfield game, I think we will be more prepared than C.Palace and look for a one goal win. However they will be the more confident side and more likely to win, whilst we will struggle at both ends of the pitch. The team selection will be critical even though there are limited option for some positions. The heart says another impressive win, whilst the head hopes to scrape a draw.
Try football origin.com you can find most of the games in full an hour or so after the games been on.
I've just moved to Australia and you can watch any premiership game in HD live or on reply with one of the networks here… Crazy that you can't do that in the country the games are actually on.
Do I 'Likely Lads ' ( You may have to Google it depending on how old you are mate)…. Just record the match, avoid everyone and keep the radio off in the car.
Then sit down with packet of Maltesers and press play. It's so difficult not wanting to fast forward.
But yes Sky do replay the full match, I think it's the following morning and within a couple of days you get a shorter highlights version.
I am the same, don't finish until midnight on Sunday !

Learn about Dabbling Ducks at Hands-on-Habitat!
Lindsay Cooley
Guys, I'm so excited that I'm just going to come out and say it: This month, Hands-on-Habitat is all about DUCKS!
That's right, you read correctly. The cuddliest, cutest waterfowl on the planet will have their day on May 19th here at Fontenelle Forest, and I want YOU and your preschool-age kiddos to join me on this fun morning.
Why celebrate ducks?
For starters, they make so many appearances in children's literature that they are easily recognizable to kids. If you're out biking around a lake or playing at a park with any sort of water, there's an excellent chance you'll encounter some ducks and your child will be able to identify them as such. Naming animal species and learning their habitats by repeated encounters is hugely empowering for kids, and boosts their love for the natural world as well as their environmental literacy.
And if you still need convincing, how about the fact that they have species names like "Bufflehead," or that the Long-tailed Duck can dive 200 feet underwater to forage for food on the bottoms of lakes and ponds? There are many species of duck that spend the warm (and winter) months here in Omaha, and they definitely bring the intrigue factor with them as they migrate through the area.
Learn more and register for May 19th's Hands-on-Habitat at parentsavvy.com/hands-on-habitat-registration! I hope you'll make plans to join us.

I'm a bit partial to camels - docile and affectionate, or grumpy and aggressive. Camels drool, they have great udders, teeth, and hooves. Goats have the same stuff going on, and gorillas look so wrong they're right. I find many harmless insects repulsive, but that's all in my head, and they don't care anyway. The world needs to see drool and tentacles along with the eyelashes and beautiful wings.
The drawing in question was prompted by a friend commissioning "one of your great big camels", and the excitement of finding a giant roll of beige drawing paper (must get out more).
A digression on drawing from photos: When we draw from life, each eye receives a different image from a slightly different angle. Our brain analyses the two, and uses them to deduce depth of field. Drawing the scene, we resolve the two images to a single flat image on the paper. The way an individual combines the two images onto one contributes to their drawing style. The camera, having only one "eye" negates this step of resolving two images into one. This is why pictures drawn from photos can appear to lack depth, and why it can seem easier to draw from a photo than from life. Sometimes though it is not practical to draw from life, and the camera is an extremely useful tool.
So, back to the camels.
I set off for the desert with my friends Tracey and Ant to find some camels. We found a group by the roadside, chatted in sign language to the herder, stroked the camels, took lots of photos, tipped him, and went.
(to be continued...)

The guidelines document will be printed and made available on the WHO website. It will be complemented by an interactive ePlatform linked to the website for feedback and comments. It will also be available on CD-ROM and circulated through WHO channels for adaptation and implementation at country level.
An NGO in official relations with WHO has agreed to set up a Task Force consisting of representatives of education and training institutions, as well as NGOs involved in working with universities to improve governance of academic institutions and make curricula more relevant.
Because there were a number of policy makers, regulatory bodies, collaborators and country partners who were members of the Guidelines Development Group, they have committed, in the second meeting of the Guidelines Development Group, to implement the guidelines through mechanisms and activities in their own institutions. They have also indicated willingness to provide advocacy for the guidelines by inserting discussions into the guidelines in to the agendas of their global or regional meetings, with the objective of identifying areas in which their institutions can embed the guidelines into their work at the county level.
Given the involvement and interest of civil society organizations who are also service providers, they have also agreed to establish working groups in the areas of education and training institutions; governance of training institutions; accreditation and regulation, financing and sustainability; and performance and social accountability to provide global and country advocacy messages using the recommendations of the guidelines.
It is planned that the guidelines will be translated into all the UN languages and disseminated. The recommendations given in this document are expected to remain valid until 2016. The Human Resources for Health Team at WHO Headquarters in Geneva will be responsible for initiating a review of these global recommendations at that time, based on new evidence and research and feedback from countries that have been using the recommendations.

Let me set the stage for this week's awesome college system.
Here it is game three of the regular season. The fast start you had hoped for didn't happen. In your first two battles, you lost them both straight up and against the spread. Your fans hate you and the sports investors that backed you early are only looking to "play againstâ€쳌 you now since you drained them financially.
Slow starts can happen in any sport. But, that doesn't mean you should give up on a team especially this early in the season. Teams that have a 0-2 SU record at game three obviously have their backs to the wall. They need a solid performance to get them back on the winning track. With that thinking in mind, I discovered the following money-making situation:
Since 1980, PLAY ON any game three road team provided they started the regular season with a 0-2 SU and ATS record.
28 Year ATS Record = 53-35 ATS for 60.2 percent.
This Week's Plays = RUTGERS
After starting with a pair of SU and ATS losses, college football road teams are able to regroup and refocus especially when they're forced to go into a hostile environment. With regards to this week's "play onâ€쳌 side, the Scarlet Knights were just embarrassed by Fresno State and North Carolina on their home turf and they'll look to take their frustrations out on Navy.
There are a couple of tighteners that we can add to this system that really make it pop. First, if our guest is matched up against an opponent that checks in off a straight up loss, this situation explodes to a sizzling 31-14-1 ATS for 68.8 percent! Momentum is a huge tool when it comes to handicapping college football and we remove a 22-21 ATS record provided the team we are playing against is NOT off a straight up victory.
Finally, with our 31-14-1 ATS system in hand, we can improve this situation to a jaw-dropping,23-4-1 ATS for 85.1 percent provided the team we are playing on was NOT priced as an underdog of +13 or more last. If a team is a big dog in college football there's a pretty good chance that they're just not very good. By dismissing those schools that were +13 or more last, we remove an 8-10 ATS record! Talk about profitable!
Navy may be a cash cow as a road underdog. However, when priced as a home pup, the Midshipmen have cashed only nine of their last 33 with two ties! The Scarlet Knights fit this awesome technical situation and they're worth a look minus the points. Good luck with Rutgers!

Here's a little sweetness to start your new year off right. It's easy, healthy, tastes like it's not, and it comes together in less than 30 minutes.
For the apple layer:
3 apples, sliced in 1/4-inch slices
2 T lemon juice
1 T cornstarch
2 t cinnamon
1/8 t nutmeg
1/8 t cloves
1/2 c brown sugar plus 1/2 c water
For the crisp layer:
1/2 c oats
1/2 c flour
1/2 c brown sugar
1/4 t baking powder
1/4 t cinnamon
pinch of salt
1/3 c shredded coconut (optional)
1/4 c chopped walnuts (optional)
1/8 c canola oil (or just enough to get the dry ingredients crumbly)
splash of water, to help the canola oil bind the topping together
Preheat oven to 375. Slice the apples and place them in a bowl of water mixed with the lemon juice. This keeps the apples from turning brown. Then mix together the remaining ingredients for the apple layer, place the apples in a tart pan, and drizzle the mixture over the apples. In a separate bowl, mix together everything for the crisp layer. Sprinkle this mixture on top of the apples. Cover with tin foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove tin foil and bake for another 20-30 minutes more.

In Detail
iOS is an operating system for Apple manufactured phones and tablets. Mobile gaming is one of the fastest-growing industries, and compatibility with iOS is now becoming the norm for game developers. SpriteKit is part of the native SDK from Apple, and enables developers to make simple entry into game development without unnecessary overhead and a long learning process. SpriteKit also provides other functionality that is useful for games, including basic sound playback support and physics simulation. In addition, Xcode provides built-in support for SpriteKit so that you can create complex special effects and texture atlases directly in Xcode. This combination of framework and tools makes SpriteKit a good choice for games and other apps that require similar kinds of animation. Become a master in iOS game development through this fast and fun guide! In the beginning, we'll tell you everything you need to plan and design your game. You'll then start developing your game through step-by-step instructions using the various built-in technologies of Xcode. From there on, we discuss how to deploy your game to the iOS App Store, as well as monetizing it to make more revenue. You will also learn advanced techniques to improve your game playing experience, including better multi-tasking, improved performance optimization, battery management, and more. To end the book off, we'll show you how to update your game with different features, then port the update to the App Store.

The Fight Against New Fast Cars
In different places your http://www.ford.com/new-trucks/ is going to be impounded. New kinds of vehicles besides the common sedan or coupe are gaining popularity in todayas market. Bigger vehicles typically burn more gas due to their size.

A loose car is going to want to keep on turning left while the driver becomes back on the accelerator exiting a turn, possibly leading to a spin. The fastest and simplest way to locate http://poki.com/en/car is by searching online.
Cars are an essential aspect on the planet of Grand Theft Auto online. These cars have the ability to run on something besides gasoline. Unfortunately, both of these cars aren't very fast. Nevertheless, it's an affordable and beautiful looking car that's wicked fast.
What the In-Crowd Won't Tell You About New Fast Cars
The fantastic news is there are lots of safe and productive treatments to find bed bugs out of your vehicle. It is that if a seller can provide you with this certificate, the car should be in reasonable mechanical condition. If you're searching for a super quick RC truck, this isn't for you. An individual may not expect to obtain a Ferrari lagging behind, especially when one talks concerning the fastest cars on the planet. When building the R edition of its popular Cayman sports car, Porsche chose to cut weight rather than adding plenty of power to attain the desired performance targets. If you wish to know how to boost horsepower, you're not alone. In addition, it consumes a huge amount of gas!
Many mechanics are only lousy trouble-shooters, so it's a superb notion to have a little information yourself first. Once everyone was welcomed to the dealership, it is the right time to learn what your customer requires to buy a car. It's important to talk with your insurance policy company before beginning one or more of these activities to see whether your policy covers these or if it's well worth the expense to improve your insurance policy coverage or change your policy. Repair costs are low enough in contrast to winnings that you ought not fret about car damage in any respect, esp. The current price of gasoline has to be considered carefully and weighed against how much is being spent on airline tickets. Before you begin your savings plan, you should choose the kind of car to buy. The discount is a one-time offer only.
Automobile manufacturers started to realize that if they wanted to sell their cars, they'd have to discover new innovative methods for protecting passengers from the hazards of the street. More than a few companies offer you complimentary tire balancing with these kinds of services. The business is rich and you can purchase a lot of mods for your vehicle. The technology is tried and tested. however, it's your decision how you need to proceed. There are a great deal of devices on the industry. If, on the opposite hand, it's obvious your battery is dead and just requires a jump, here is what to do. It takes an extremely great deal of power to turn over an engine and begin a vehicle.
Sounds like someone requires a very long drive through a cold automobile wash. A twenty hour drive is a significant trip, particularly for people with young children. When the wheels aren't aligned you'll find plenty of tire noise. Even if you're pretty sure you've got a wheel bearing noise, it isn't always simple to understand where it's coming from.
New Fast Cars Help!
A great place to begin is through an evaluation of the standard breathing rate expected to see in puppies. It doesn't understand how to compensate. It isn't as really hard to do as it seems in case you understand it. Also, you have to make sure he is additionally not actively panting. When you have won the obligatory amount then it is going to be unlocked. Dreaming of a complete gas tank shows you that you're ready for the lengthy journey ahead. It was hard to mix due to the time signature so nobody bothered.
If you follow the advice above, you ought to have no trouble locating a speedy car under 10,000 dollars. If the issue is not because of a true component, but instead only a faulty sensor that is intermittent, you might see the light goes off after some moment. The issue here is it doesn't have the immediate uummph!!

Known as a destination for its fresh seafood, exciting atmosphere and fantastic water views, Captain Fishbones has been a landmark restaurant on Quincy's Marina Bay boardwalk for 15 years. A team of new owners recently took over the restaurant and seek to exceed the expectations of diners. Executive chef Jose Cardoza's new menu features cook-to-order fresh seafood, raw bar options, steak and filets, savory desserts and much more. An El Salvador native, chef Cardoza's unique interpretations of traditional New England dishes put a new spin on old favorites.
"I feel like my job is a work of art," says Cardoza. "I don't know how to paint or make sculptures, but I do know how to create unique dishes and present it beautifully. Combining colors, flavors and ingredients is what I love to do."
One of the new signature items on the Captain Fishbones menu is the Fire Roasted Salmon with quinoa salad that is topped with tzatziki sauce. Other favorites include stuffed lobster, swordfish and haddock. On warm summer nights, guests can dine outdoors on the patio overlooking the harbor.
The restaurant is located at 332 Victory Road, Quincy.

Ch 7: Plate Tectonics A work in progress …
Animation of Continental Drift
pangea moving Pangea w/ labels PANGAEA: Name of a supercontinent. All continents were once combined. Broke apart to form our current continents.
Sect 1: Continental Drift
Alfred Wegener came up w/ Continental Drift Hypothesis Continents are constantly moving (on the surface of Earth). So slowly we don't feel it. No one believed him … WHY? Couldn't explain HOW the continents moved.
Evidence FOR Cont. Drift (4 Ways)
1) Fossil Clues: Fossils found on the edge of continents that were once joined MATCH. Ex. Glossopteris (plant) – found on different continents. Other fossils of similar organisms found on several continents – separated by oceans. (Organisms that cannot swim!) 2) Rock Clues: Same rocks on the edge of continents that were once joined MATCH. Ex. West Africa rocks match East South America Look at Chemistry and age of rocks. Mountain ranges in N. Europe match eastern N. America (Caledonian Mts to Appalachian Mts.)
Evidence Cont. 3) Climate Changes: Certain areas have evidence that the continents once had different climates … AGAIN: Continents match! Ex.) Sediments left from glaciers … -Same in S. America & Africa -Same in India & Australia *Beneath sediments – grooves (marks left by glaciers) 4) Continents look like puzzles pieces that fit together.
Sect. 2: Seafloor Spreading
Process by which: New oceanic crust forms along mid-ocean ridges Older oceanic crust moves away from the ridge. Began to explore ocean floor after WWII –led to new discoveries – led to this process. Started using Sound Waves to map ocean floor. Created detailed maps. Discovered: Mountain Ranges, Valleys, etc. like those found on Continents. Mid-Ocean Ridges = mountain ranges in the middle of the oceans. (Much longer than on land.)
Theory states: (Helped explain how continents move):
Seafloor spreads = plates are moving apart. Mantle (crust) melts and forms magma (like lava only inside Earth). Magma is less dense than mantle (crust) so it… rises through cracks along the mid-ocean ridges. Seeps through = lava … cools quickly forms a rock type called basalt. (Forms shape like a pillow so called pillow lava.) **Means: young rocks are by ridges and rocks get older as you move away from ridges.
Why this discovery was important:
Wegener was RIGHT! This explains HOW the continents are moving. Continents do NOT move through the solid mantle or seafloor. Continents move as the seafloor moves.
iv) Evidence supporting Seafloor Spreading …
Ages of Rocks: younger at ridges and increasingly older as you move away from center of ridges. Magnetic Pole Reversal: found in rocks – showed a pattern parallel to ridges. (Basalt contains iron-rich minerals –magnetic) Normal Polarity: magnetized objects point North. Magnetic Reversal: changes direction. Reversed Polarity: magnetized objects point SOUTH instead of North.
How ? Studied magnetic minerals in rocks on seafloor.
Found parallel magnetic strips on either side of M-O ridges. (Same composition, age and magnetic character.) Patterns = line up a certain way during periods of normal or reversed polarity. Sediment from seafloor can be dated – next to m-o. ridges younger than farther away. (Sediment thickness increases too.)
What does this image show?
Seafloor spreading, stripes of basaltic rock Which stripes are the oldest? Newest? Further outside, further inside How can you tell? New magma rises from mid-ocean ridge
Sect. 3: Plate Tectonics PLATE TECTONICS THEORY:
PLATES: Rigid SECTIONS OF THE EARTH'S CRUST THAT MOVE. (picture P. 234) PLATE TECTONICS THEORY: - Theory that combines Cont. Drift and Seafloor Spreading. - Crust is broken into sections that move. -Layer below is thick liquid like material that moves. Video
Force Behind Plate Techtonics
Closer look at Crust asthenosphere and lithosphere
Top Layer Vocab: LITHOSPHERE: Includes the CRUST and part of the Upper Mantle. RIGID!! (HARD) ASTHENOSPHERE: movable layer below the Lithosphere. Where convection current IS!! MOVABLE !!! (Thick liquid like material.)
3 WAYS PLATES MOVE 1)Convergent: move TOWARDS each other.
2.) Divergent: move AWAY from each other or pull apart. 3.) Transform: Slide by each other. Different directions OR Same direction but one plate is moving slower.
Divergent Boundary Almost all the Earth's new crust forms at divergent boundaries. Most are not well known because they lie deep beneath the oceans. These are zones where two plates move away from each other, allowing magma from the mantle to rise up and solidify as new crust.
Divergent: http://geomaps.wr.usgs.gov/parks/pltec/pltec3.html
Convergent Boundaries
Crust is "disappearing" when 2 plates move together. Converging … Ocean to Ocean Plates:
Continent to Continent Plates
Ocean to Continent Plates
The dense, leading edge of the oceanic plate actually pulls the rest of the plate into the flowing asthenosphere and a subduction zone is born!
Ocean Plate is DENSER than Continental Plate!!
Remember Ocean Plate is DENSER than Continental Plate!! Earth is balanced … where crust is "disappearing" , somewhere else it is forming new crust.
Animations of Plate Movements
Plate Motion Convection Current – circulation of material caused by diff. in temp. and density. Forces: Basal Drag = conveyor belt movement (lithosphere moves) Ridge Push = force causes plates to move away from m-o ridges in opposite directions. Slab Pull = force pulls slab (harder, older crust) down into mantle
Features on Earth made by Plate Tectonics …
1) AT Divergent Plate Boundaries: Normal FAULTS (Tension forces pull crust apart and cause rocks to break and move = fault line.) Rift Valleys: continent & continent pulling apart (ex. Africa) Mid Ocean Ridges
2) AT Convergent Boundaries
Continent to Continent = Mountain Ranges: forces cause massive folding and faulting. (Ex. Himalaya Mountains are still forming.) Ocean to Ocean = Volcanoes … Island Arcs: Curved chain of volcanic islands – form above the sinking plate. Trenches
Convergent Cont. Ocean to Continent = Volcanic Mountain ranges: continent is again folding and faulting. Volcanoes form w/in the mountains. (Along coasts) Of course, Trenches
3) Transform Boundaries
Strike - Slip FAULTS: the plates try to move past each other they stick and then slide. When they stick and then suddenly move , this motion causes vibrations = earthquakes. Ex. San Andreas Fault
Rate of Plate Movement Varies … 1 cm to 12 cm / yr.
Use lasers and satellites to figure out how much. Hawaii is moving TOWARD Japan = 8.3 cm / yr. Maryland is moving AWAY from England = 1.7 cm/yr
Flow Chart for Features
Landforms Compression Tension Shear Stress (Converge) (Diverge) (Transform) Mts. Vol. M-O Cont. Trans Fracture Fault Arcs Ridges Rift Fault Zones Zones (Rift Trenches Valleys)
Ch 8 Vocab Transform Fault: Fault Zone: Plates slide past each other
Break in Earth's crust Fault Zone: Area of MANY fractured pieces BY a large fault.
Mountains 1) Fault Block Mountains 2) Uplifted Mountains
Tension forces WITHIN a continent. Some blocks rise or fall Parallel Ridges. 2) Uplifted Mountains Rise VERTICALLY Little Deformation Don't totally understand … think sections break off = mantle sinks and the other side rises.
Mountains Cont. 3) Folded Mts. Happens deeper in crust.
Therefore: sections are warmer & under pressure **that is why they FOLD instead of break. HOW do Mts. change over time? Collisions & Rifting Weathering Ex) Appalachians – old, not growing so not as high or rugged as Rockies. Uplift BALANCE (Erodes – wears down – new crust rises to replace it.)

Minori is a beautiful and friendly small city, and this house was an ideal place for us to stay during our 6 days visit. The house is an atttraction in itself - the view from the windows and the terraces is fantastic. And the house is also very practical. Everything works as it should. It's a short way (though many steps) to the beach which we and our boys (9 and 12) enjoyed. We borrowed a parasol fromTeresa, the owner, and so were able to stay on the free parts of the beach. One day we went on foot by the ancient paths to neigbouring Majori. Recommended! It the weather is not to hot there are also other walking oppurtunities in the moutains.

a random day in the hoodPosted by Enix Ramos at 9:14 AM
This morning as I made my way to my local drivethrough to get my usual breakfast run I realized they were chopping some trees (don't get me started on this matter, the chopping of trees being committed lately) and I had to do the unthinkable..
get out of my car and WALK inside to get "breakfast"..."breakfast" meaning a chocolate chip cookie and a small softdrink....I don't drink coffee and I need some kind of caffeine boost...so sue me
So I walk in...and the lady behind the register goes:
"You're the girl who always goes through the drive through...Chocolate chip cookie and small drink...right?..." she gives me a big smile..
I nervously chuckle...
she arches an eyebrow..."what are you doing inside?"
I point out to the tree obstruction...
"Oh....it's funny how you always order the same thing...everyday".
I paid for my order and quickly squirmed away...
I know she was being nice...but it felt kind of uncomfortable that I am so predictable...
I mean..if anybody wanted to axe me off, you'd know where to find me at a quarter to nine.
Random thoughts of the day:
I have no water...since yesterday morning. I've been bathing with my emergency supply...heating water in pots and pans to be able to get a decent shower in the morning. Stoneages people...stoneages...
Ms. Teacher....I have no idea what got into your pretty little head to assume I am gonna be able to make my 5 year old memorize a 6 line poem in three hours before she has to go to bed...I am a mom not Mr. Wizard...I have a Kindergardener, not a Yale Pre-Law....
Why do bathrooms have echos? Like I really need to hear other people's gases or mines, for that matter, amplified...???

I hope you know,
you know.
The tides and turns of the creature within
that writhes and burns
is the real me you see,
you see.
It knows the way,
that life can be
and only rests in harmony.
It seeks clean air and purest light
and yes,
it will fight.
I trust it and set it free,
it knows the way better than me.
It introduced us after all,
animal to animal and we just rode along.
And once the light and air is clear,
it rests and I can see.
That I love you and your forest song,
and we are back in clear air where we belong.

It may surprise you to learn that mixing concrete is no simple task and is best done by professionals but this is no reason for you to waste time and effort by having it all created on site. One way to save as much of your time as possible is to have concrete and mortar ready mixed so that it may be quickly poured into the area and then made ready to dry. Experts are happy to help you work through your options and to decide on a final design for your new paving project, no matter if you want to add a new driveway or a fancy type of paving to your property.
Concrete and mortar ready mixed in RM15 is highly cost-effective, allowing you to cover a wide surface area with concrete without worrying about the amount of your own budget left over at the end of the day. This is an option designed from start to finish to help you save money and although concrete must dry for a number of days before use, you will nevertheless find yourself with a completed product much sooner than otherwise. This is because experts are happy to ensure that all materials are ready to use the moment that they are needed, including the concrete and mortar for the project.
Concrete and mortar that is ready mixed for the project will allow you to save time and effort by reducing the amount of time needed before you get started pouring. Mixing concrete on site by hand or using a machine will only cause unwanted delays and perhaps even additional costs as your project is pushed forward by hours or even days at a time.

Although Dubai does not have a real redlight district you can find adult clubs in Dubai but it is a little harder to find Dubai strip clubs for striptease live shows, lapdance or another kind of adult entertainment. If you like to combine your night in town with wellness you might consider visiting a massage parlour for a Thai massage or a Nana Nuat massage. Sometimes the massage parlours also offer a sauna. If you are visiting Dubai for a stag party, please first contact the venue to see if you are welcome.
Dubai is known for being an international arena for nightlife and entertainment. As such, these platforms are also used for the sex industry. Some places to find cheap independent escorts in Dubai are sports and music bars, five-star hotels and even right on the streets.

Vilene 272 Thermolam is a compressed volume fleece interfacing with good thermal insulation. It has a similar texture to wool felt and can be used to provide structure to bags, purses and craft projects. Due to its heat insulation it can also be used for oven gloves and table mats – we recommend that two layers are used for these type of applications.
Quilt spacing should not be below 15-20cm.
This gives it more structure and firmness that say Vilene H630 or H640. This is a non-fusible product – use a glue stick to baste in place if required before sewing. Easy to sew through and can be used in place of wadding for smaller projects.
Equivalent to: it is the closest match to Pellon TP971F Fusible Thermolan Plus.
Width: 114cm
Sold by the quarter metre.

Culture Vultures: The One Task Founders Will NEVER DelegateBY Tricia V. Morente - 26 May 2017
PHOTO CREDIT: Getty Images
It's been said time and again that a common trait shared by good leaders is their ability to delegate. Because there are never enough hours in the day to accomplish all important tasks yourself, you're going to need the help of your team to get the job done.
This Inc. article presents a helpful tip on effective delegation: Use the "70 percent rule," which means "if the person you are considering to perform the task would like to perform it, and can do it at least 70 percent as well as you, delegate it."
While there are times when tasks aren't performed up to your standards, another upside to delegation is that it's a great way to show you trust your team, while upgrading their skills in the process. Plus it leaves you with plenty of time to focus on making your start-up as kickass as only your brand of brilliance can ever accomplish.
Before you delegate away, however, it's vital that you take stock of your strengths and weaknesses so you can focus on the things you do best. As this Inc. article points out, as a business owner, founder, or CEO, "the tasks that only you can do are why you have the position you have…if you are spending time on activities that aren't profitable or in your area of genius, you're wasting money."
Culture vultures
We've asked some Southeast Asian start-up founders on that one task they never delegate, and we were surprised to find their answers have this common thread: Anything to do with people, culture, and recruitment is definitely not up for delegation.
Paul Rivera, the CEO and co-founder of artificial intelligence-powered job recruitment portal Kalibrr, takes recruitment seriously not only as this is Kalibrr's business model, but also in forming the team that contributes to his start-up's continued success. "I make sure, particularly at the early to mid-stage of recruitment, that I interview and vet every single person I bring on to the team," he shares. Rivera spends 30 to 40 percent of his time recruiting, "both proactively engaging with high value talent to make them excited about our opportunities and to also do the final interview for people who my recruitment team have already screened. Getting the best talent possible is critical to success and it's hard for me to delegate that knowing how important talent is to the lifeblood of any young organization."
Joel Leong, co-founder of e-commerce start-up Shopback, agrees. "We founders may be super busy with our respective functions, but hiring is the one task that we'll definitely make time for. People are our greatest asset. People control the company's culture and solve problems for you. If you hire the wrong guy, you'll create bad culture and more problems," he says.
For Kosuke Sogo, CEO and co-founder of ad tech company AdAsia Holdings, communicating with his staff is something he never delegates. "At AdAsia Holdings, we value our staff highly and have built an open and collaborative culture. I believe in the value of transparency within an organization and aligning all staff with the company's direction and plans. This is especially true when having a cross-border business," he shares.
Since starting out more than a year ago, AdAsia Holdings is already in eight countries across Asia. Communication can be quite tricky, given his 110-strong team, but Sogo's keen on letting everyone in on how the company is performing. He hosts monthly business updates through online video with the whole company, as well as quarterly open forums for all staff to communicate with the founders and each other. "No matter what stage an organization is at, it is imperative that the founders or leadership team should never delegate communicating with their most important stakeholders—employees," he says.
For Derek Tan, co-founder of Viddsee, a Singaporean start-up whose online video platform enables global audiences to discover the creativity of Southeast Asian short filmmakers, "setting culture" is one thing he would never delegate. "It's important for founders to define the principles that define the company, and at Viddsee, we codify this so that we can scale the communication of culture to whoever is new in the company, and also allow the team to carry that culture forward," says Tan.
Tan's mindset is shared by Singapore-based in-home eldercare start-up Homage founder Gillian Tee. "Setting the team culture—how we do things, make decisions, and experience work—is for the founders' to do alone," says Tee, adding, "The company is only as good as the people in it, and fostering leadership and ownership starts from leaders at every level, and ultimately originates from the founders."
Aaron Brooks, co-founder of influencer marketing start-up Visual Amplifiers (VAMP), believes the company's vision should be close to any CEO's agenda. "At all times," he emphasizes. "CEOs need to own and communicate the vision of the company they stand for. Without this reinforcement from the founder, any organization, regardless of how promising its value proposition, will be diluted and eventually lost."
Because of Brooks' line of business, key customer relationships and interactions rank high on his priority list. "These insights and relationships are key for any entrepreneur to run a successful business. Do they agree with my brand's value proposition? Do they really understand the worth of investing in my business and therefore are willing to pay for it? These are insights that are extremely crucial for me as an entrepreneur and fall into my day-to-day agenda," he shares.

Economic Nationalism and China: The Right Issue for 2018 and 2020?
I just finished up this Bloomberg article on Steve Bannon about his "war" on the Chinese as part of his economic nationalism policy agenda.
The key quote from Bloomberg:
In Bannon's view, China is harming the U.S. by engaging in unfair trade practices, such as the forced transfer of U.S. technology to Chinese companies. While many experts agree, Bannon has a more dire view of the consequences. "There have been 4,000 years of Chinese diplomatic history, all centered on 'barbarian management,' minus the last 150 years," he says. China's historical disposition toward trading partners, he contends, is exploitative and potentially ruinous. "It's always about making the barbarians a tributary state," he says. "Our tribute to China is our technology—

An outstanding record of six victories from the nine races that made up the series was more than enough to secure top spot for the 27-year-old.
Heading into the season with the 2016 International Cup under his belt, he flew out of the blocks in round one comfortably passing everyone in the field to take all three victories over Russell Marmon and Tim Batte on the opening weekend of the season in Greenock.
Marmon and Batte were spearheading the leading pack on rough waters in Milford Haven but they once again had to settle for positions behind Harvey in race one and two.
Calmer conditions on Sunday gave others the chance to close the gap and Harvey fell off the top for the first time in this year's competition, crossing the line second behind Batte, but it was still more than enough to take the weekend victory.
With a 39-point lead and a maximum of just 75 up for grabs on the final weekend of the season, Harvey had one hand on the trophy and either an extremely uncharacteristic performance or mechanical problems would stop the Wolverhampton-based rider from sealing title success.
While it all seemed to be going in Harvey's favour, it took a dramatic twist in the harsh conditions of Torquay.
In Saturday's opening race, he extended his points lead with another win but, before race two, his ski was damaged in transportation and had to settle for third despite winning the race - he incurred a two-place penalty for changing his ski mid-event. Despite his lowest finish of the season, it was still enough to secure him the title before hitting the waters for the final race of the series.
He was the first man over the line in race three but after being forced to swap jet ski for the second time that weekend he was again deducted two places to move him down to second in the weekend standings for the first time in the 2017 UK series.
The final standings showed Harvey's dominance in the series as he finished the campaign with a resounding 41-point gap over second-placed Marmon with a phenomenal two-thirds of races won.

Qualified Will Disclaimers
Many times the absence of a will, or an out-of-date or poorly drafted will, causes undesirable consequences. Consider these examples:
John, a wealthy client, is the primary heir of a bequest from his unmarried aunt. His children are to receive the remainder of the aunt's estate in smaller bequests. John would prefer the aunt's entire estate go directly to his children rather than increase his already large estate.
Mary is the sole heir of her recently deceased husband. Many years ago they executed so-called "I love you" wills in which each left everything to the other. Over the years their combined estates grew to a sizable amount and now Mary desires that $675,000 of her husband's estate pass directly to their children to make use of his estate tax applicable credit.
Betty's late husband had no will; everything they owned was titled in his name alone. The estate isn't large, consisting of the family home, a car, and a modest savings account. Under the applicable state intestacy law, Betty will receive one-half of the estate and her grown children share the remaining half equally. Betty's children are all financially independent and want their mother to receive the entire estate.
Disclaimer Defined
A disclaimer is one solution in each of the above cases. A disclaimer is a refusal to accept a transfer of property by a potential recipient of a bequest or devise, thereby shifting the devise or bequest to whoever is next in line. For federal tax purposes, the disclaimant is not considered to have received the property; it is as if the disclaimant predeceased the testator. No transfer subject to gift, estate, or generation-skipping tax is deemed to occur between the disclaimant and the ultimate recipient.
To be valid ("qualified") under federal law a disclaimer must be an irrevocable and unqualified refusal to accept an interest in property, made in writing, and delivered within nine months after the transfer creating the interest is made. In the case of a will the interest is created at the testator's date of death. A minor disclaimant must deliver the disclaimer within nine months after reaching the age of majority.
The property must be disclaimed prior to accepting any interest in or benefit from it. Thus, if rental property is to be disclaimed, it's crucial the disclaimant accept no rent checks. Similarly, no investment income may be accepted from investment property prior to disclaiming. It's possible to make a partial disclaimer, as in the case of a spouse named sole legatee who wishes to pass $675,000 directly to the children, but to retain the remainder of the estate for herself.
Disclaimers do have limitations. The biggest drawback is the disclaimant can't direct the property refused; the successor recipient will be determined by the will, or if there is no will, by state intestacy law.
For example, a parent's will divides the estate equally among the parent's then living children. If one of the children disclaims her share, it won't go to her children, but will be divided equally among the disclaimant's brothers and sisters. Before executing a disclaimer, a client should ask his or her attorney to confirm that the desired recipients will receive the refused property.
Planning For Disclaimers
It's possible to plan in advance for disclaimers. For instance, if a grandparent writes a will dividing the estate among his children, he might name the grandchildren contingent legatees of their respective parent's portion. The parent then may disclaim in favor of his or her respective children, rather than have the disclaimed property divided among siblings. The grandparent or parent by a wise choice in a will clause puts the children in a position to make tax-efficient moves later through disclaimers.

Trump Tower
The Trump International Hotel and Tower, also known as Trump Tower Chicago and locally as the Trump Tower, is a skyscraper condo-hotel in downtown Chicago, Illinois. The building, named after real estate developer Donald Trump, was designed by architect Adrian Smith of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. Bovis Lend Lease built the 92-story structure, which reached a height of 1,389 feet (423 m) including its spire, its roof topping out at 1,170 feet (360 m). It is adjacent to the main branch of the Chicago River, with a view of the entry to Lake Michigan beyond a series of bridges over the river. The building received publicity when the winner of the first season of The Apprentice television show, Bill Rancic, chose to manage the construction of the tower.
Trump announced in 2001 that the skyscraper would become the tallest building in the world, but after the September 11, 2001 attacks, the building plans were scaled back, and its design has undergone several revisions. When topped out in 2009 it became the second-tallest building in the United States after Chicago's Willis Tower. It is expected to be surpassed by the One World Trade Center in New York City in the middle of 2013, and by the on-hold Chicago Spire if completed. Trump Tower surpassed Chicago's John Hancock Center as the building with the world's highest residence above ground-level and held this title until the completion of the Burj Khalifa. It is currently the tenth tallest building in the world.
The design of the building includes, from the ground up, retail space, a parking garage, a hotel, and condominiums. The 339-room hotel opened for business with limited accommodations and services on January 30, 2008. April 28 of that year marked the grand opening with full accommodation and services. A restaurant on the 16th floor, named Sixteen, opened in early 2008 to favorable reviews. The building topped out in late 2008 and construction was completed in 2009. The hotel is one of four four- or five-star-rated hotels in Chicago, and the building hosts a restaurant that is one of nine restaurants in the city with either a four- or five-star rating, according to the Forbes Travel Guide (formerly Mobil Travel Guide).

Workin' nine to five, what a way to make a living
Barely gettin' by it's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
-Dolly Parton
The 9-to-5 job is dead…and if you have a 9-to-5 job, it's just that, a job, not a career. As a communications professional, I'm always thinking about work—whether it's how a retailer is going to promote the back-to-school season or by checking out one of my client's Facebook fan pages, I continuously do these things 24/7.
It seems like even during my "free" time, I'm discussing the pros and cons of social media; or debating on the merits of a new ad campaign; or ridiculing a politician's public addresses.
Maybe it's because I've chosen a career that thrives on communication—and right now, the way we communicate seems to be constantly changing. But I tend to think it's more of an illustration about how we want to stay connected…how many mobile numbers do we know see on business cards or people responding to email via mobile devices on the weekend.
Oh yeah, did I mention, my new business cards have my Twitter handle…next time, I'll put my blog link on them!

Today's Question: What Happened to the 9-to-5 Job?

Distance learning has been responsible in the changing of behaviors and attitudes in the field of education. Indeed, it may be one of the most important trends in education in the 21st century (Ustati & Hassan, 2013). Distance education has grown rapidly both at higher education institutions, as well as at workplaces around the world and this trend continues to grow every year (Allen & Seaman, 2011; Radford, 2011). Today, many universities are striving to increase distance education opportunities (Danesh, Bailey, & Whisenand, 2015). Therefore, the number of educational programs available on the Internet has been increasing at a high rate (Hirumi & Bermudez, 1996). For example, in the United States., as of 2013, 33.5% of students in higher education were recorded as taking at least one course in distance education (Allen & Seaman, 2014).
The technology-assisted distance education model is expanding in Turkey just as it is across the rest of the world (Aydin, 2013a). Since 2010, the number of students enrolled at Faculties of Distance Education and Distance Education Centers in Turkey has been increasing. Furthermore, lectures can be provided via both institutional and distance education courses. According to a decision made by the (Turkish) Council of Higher Education (YOK) in 2011, the number of lectures that may be provided through the medium of higher education is limited to 30% of the courses offered. Distance education programs may only be delivered following the submission of course content to higher education senates and following approval by the Council of Higher Education (YOK, 2013). As a result of this change in attitude towards online courses, many universities have started to offer common and capstone courses such as Turkish Language I-II, Foreign Language I-II, History of Ataturk's Principles and Revolutions, Physical Education I-II, Fine Arts I-II, City and Culture: Istanbul and Culture of Disaster through distance education. Thus, students who fulfill undergraduate and postgraduate matriculation criteria for higher education and who have enrolled at higher education institutions have started to receive courses via distance education. However, learners may fail to understand the experience that they will undergo when course material is presented via distance education courses to these same students who are entitled to receive instruction in the same topics via lessons in a more traditional institutional educational setting, namely the university classroom.
Distance education, which has become widespread in the 21st century, is actually a concept with a long history. That is because what is defined as distance education today is based on the well-established method of correspondence education (Karasar, 1999). Nowadays, computers and Internet distance education, which evolved out of the postal model of correspondence courses, has expanded widely and at a breathtaking speed. The transmission of information via electronic devices became more widespread together with the emergence of printed books (Kadim, Sisman & Gulsunar, 2014). Transferring information to digital media is viewed as the factor that accounts most readily for these rapid developments.

Robotics Program in India; Manzil 2016
From July 19th to August 10th members of The Blair Robot Project were in New Delhi, India to participate in a program called Manzil. Manzil is a non-profit organization that provides a community and resources for local youth from low-income backgrounds to learn. Our members held their own robotics course for students ages 8 and up with the intention of not only exposing their students to FIRST and robotics, but also to get them excited about STEM.
At the start of the course, students were shown videos of robots including FRC robots and competitions to give them an idea of what we do and what robots are capable of. All of the students showed enthusiasm and interest while watching these videos. In the following lessons students worked with a Lego Mindstorms robot to learn about parts and sensors. Although students progressed slowly, they continued to be attentive and engaged in the course.
On July 27th our members began working with students other than those that came to their class. Manzil offers a variety of course such as English, math, computer science, and even cooking. We co-taught some of these classes and exposed all of these students to robotics and STEM, relating their course to it. One such events was a discussion held in an English class. The teacher of the course asked our members to join the discussion because native english speaking would greatly help the students. The teacher made the topic of the discussion robotics and technology. The experience was fun for the students and our members and everyone learned something new that day. In addition to attending other classes, we demoed robots, talked about FIRST, and discussed what we have been working on in common rooms where the bulk of students passed by. Many students were curious and asked many questions.
By the end of the course, students were given a task to accomplish by building a robot. Students were given the parts they needed with very little instruction. They were able to complete the task with a bit of guidance. Students even were able to begin moving their robots and start touching on the programming aspect of robotics. We were proud of how much the students were able to achieve and learn in just a couple of week, but what we were happiest about was the students said they would love to continue learning about robotics and STEM in the future. The entire program was truly an amazing experience and it was inspiring to see the impact Manzil has had on these students and the community. It was humbling to be a part of something so important.
On the last day, our members at Manzil along with some students video called with members back home so that more of the team could interact with the students. We asked them about how they liked the class and overall impressions of robotics and STEM. It was great to hear the positive feedback firsthand from the students. We then had a long, engaging discussion about ethics in robotics. We touched topics such as robotic cars, robotic teachers, drones, medical devices, emotions, and much more. All the students had unique opinions and everyone back home was amazed to see the interest they displayed in robotics. Overall, it was a successful end to a truly inspirational experience. Team 449 hopes to inspiring students to explore STEM in the future.
