Home / Tefl Jobs / Czech Republic / Employment teaching EFL in Czech Republic - Prague
Date posted:2002-09-27 | Writer: Caledonian School, Prague | Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
The Caledonian School ( Contact us), a large private language school centered in Prague, is looking for qualified and willing-to-be qualified English teachers. We accept applications on a year-round basis and usually have job openings every month with September/October and January being our biggest intake times. As of today, we still have several openings for qualified teachers who can start immediately. For teachers without a TEFL certificate we offer a competitively priced, International TEFL/TESOL Certificate course in Prague for those individuals who are looking for an initial 4-week TEFL/TESOL course. The course is offered regularly throughout the year. There are still openings for the October, November and January courses. If you successfully complete the course, we guarantee you a job with our school. This course requires no commitment to the school, but most teachers who do the course work for us following the course. Check out our web site fo!
r more info about our schools in Prague and Bratislava.. and our 4-week, TEFL/TESOL course... or e-mail us at email@example.com and ask for our INFORMATION PACKAGE FOR TEACHERS and/or INFORMATION PACKAGE FOR THE TEFL/TESOL CERTIFICATE COURSE. We would be happy to provide you with the names and e-mail addresses of teachers who have completed the course and who are currently working for us.
More info about us:
We usually hire teachers who have a TEFL or TESOL certificate from a 4-week training program that includes supervised classroom teaching practice, but teachers with at least one year's full-time overseas TEFL experience or one year's TESOL experience in an English-speaking country, other foreign language teaching experience or business education/experience will also be considered. Prague is one of Europe's most beautiful cities with fabulous architecture, great cafes, pubs and a rich cultural life. The Czech Republic is on the fast track to membership in the European Union. Major European cities (Vienna, Berlin, Munich, Paris) are easily reached by direct train from Prague. The school's central location is just a 20-minute walk away from Prague's famous Charles Bridge and historical center. The school has over 5, 000 students and employs over 200 teachers in five language departments � English, German, French, Spanish and Czech for Foreigners. Contracts, which are renewable, !
usually run for the entire school year � mid-September until the end of June. Teachers who join the school during the year may have shorter contacts. New teachers arriving by plane are met at the airport and are given an orientation to Prague by a Caledonian School teacher. Our teachers receive a somewhat-better-than-average Czech wage/benefit package that equals about 500 US dollars a month, which is enough to live on, but don't expect to save any money if you work in Prague. Teachers working outside of Prague (e.g. Bratislava and towns around the Czech Republic), where housing is fully paid, can save money.
This year our teacher-run Social Committee arranged highly affordable day and weekend trips (bus & hostel) to Germany, Austria, France, and interesting places in the Czech Republic. The school subsidizes many of the trips � we try our best to keep the trips affordable and fun! New teachers are welcome to work with the Social Committee.
At the Caledonian School our students are adult and young adult learners who come from all walks of Czech life. Our corporate clients include international banks and Fortune 500 companies. Class sizes range from 1 to about 12 students. Coursebooks come from the Oxford University Press, Longman and Cambridge University Press EFL collections. Teacher development workshops are held on a regular basis. The school provides housing assistance and a free local transport pass. We have a Senior Teacher for Resources on duty every day in our teachers� room/library to provide teachers with pedigogical and administrative support. For teachers working out of Prague in the Czech Republic the school provides free housing and a monthly round trip ticket to Prague. Although long-term, full-time foreign (non-Czech) teachers working in the Czech Republic do not receive airfare, they do receive a relocation bonus and a contract completion bonus. Teachers have free access to e-mail and the Inte!
rnet from the staff room. The school provides a health care plan at no cost to teachers. Teacher development workshops are held regularly and every teacher is assigned to work with a Senior Teacher who provides support and guidance. The school has a strong support library/resource center with over 3, 000 titles plus audio tapes, videotapes, an OHP and photocopiers. The school�s cafe serves soups, sandwiches, salads and other hot/cold dishes, soft drinks as well as beer and wine.. If you want more information about Prague and the Czech Republic and /or Bratislava you might want to look at Baedeker's Travel Guide for the Czech Republic, Lonely Planet, the Rough Guide or Let's Go.

Overview of the different kind of roles of the teacher (such as manager, assessor, prompter and monitor), and on which role to employ and when. We also talked about the behaviour, learning experience and motivation of certain age groups, for example, that young children have a short attention span, or that adults tend to have higher expectations. In addition, we learned about different levels and their characteristics of L2 learning.I think these videos were very informative. I like how it showed the discerning difference between a teacher who engages the students and successfully allows them to learn and the opposite situation. It's clear that with a friendly and comfortable environment, student's are able to learn more effectively. I also learned that gestures and pictures make a stark difference in material learned by students as they have a more visual aid.

GREATER JOHNSTOWN AREA VOCATIONAL-TECHNICAL SCHOOL, APPELLANTv.GREATER JOHNSTOWN AREA VOCATIONAL-TECHNICAL EDUCATION ASSOCIATION, APPELLEE
Appeal from the Order of the Court of Common Pleas of Cambria County in the case of Greater Johnstown Area Vocational-Technical School v. Greater Johnstown Area Vo-Tech Education Association, No. 1980-5728.
Marlin B. Stephens, for appellant.
William K. Eckel, for appellee.
President Judge Crumlish, Jr. and Judges Williams, Jr. and MacPhail, sitting as a panel of three. Opinion by President Judge Crumlish, Jr.
Author: Crumlish
[ 69 Pa. Commw. Page 209]
Greater Johnstown Area Vocational-Technical School (School)*fn1 appeals from a Cambria County Common Pleas Court order affirming an arbitration award. We affirm.
[ 69 Pa. Commw. Page 210]
Due to a "projected" enrollment decrease,*fn2 the School curtailed and altered its curriculum, resulting in the suspensions of Earl Wadsworth, a tenured driver-education instructor with an alternate certification in physical education, and Kathleen Shedlock Patrick, a non-tenured English teacher (employees). The Greater Johnstown Area Vocational-Technical Education Association (Association) filed grievances on the employees' behalf, alleging that the School violated the "Just Cause Provision"*fn3 of the collective bargaining agreement (agreement) between the School and the Association. The grievance procedure set forth in the agreement establishes a four-step process, culminating in binding arbitration. Although the first three steps of the grievance mechanism were pursued, the School refused to proceed to arbitration. This Court, in Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board v. Greater Johnstown Area Vocational-Technical School, 48 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 604, 410 A.2d 1290 (1980), affirmed the Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board order requiring the School to arbitrate the suspension issues.*fn4
[ 69 Pa. Commw. Page 211]
The arbitrator concluded, first, that since the School had failed to realign its staff to retain Wadsworth in accordance with his alternate certification and seniority, he was improperly suspended; and, second, that School had curtailed or altered its English program without securing prior approval from the Pennsylvania Department of Public Instruction as required by law,*fn5 thus Patrick's suspension was likewise improper.
The arbitrator ordered the School to reinstate Wadsworth and to reimburse Patrick for all lost compensation and benefits resulting from her improper suspension. Common Pleas Court affirmed the award, and this appeal follows.
Initially we note that review of an arbitrator's decision is highly circumscribed and will not be overturned if it draws its essence from the collective bargaining agreement. Leechburg Area School District v. Dale, 492 Pa. 515, 517, 424 A.2d 1309, 1312 (1981). ...

Primary milia is found in your undeveloped, freshly popped neonate and usually disappear within a few weeks. Primary or secondary milia can also develop in children and adults and may require medical attention. Milia can also rise in response to harsh skin treatments.
There is no successful proven treatment for persistent primary or secondary milia besides a doctor slicing it open and squeezing the contents out like a pimple.

The California Supreme Court has ruled that law enforcement officers can search a suspect's cell phone without a warrant, after a lawful arrest, and that any incriminating texts, e-mails or other sensitive data can be used as evidence.
The Monday ruling stems from the 2007 arrest by Ventura County Sheriff's Deputy Victor Fazio of Gregory Diaz. Deputy Fazio witnessed Diaz participating in a police informant's controlled purchase of MDMA/ecstasy. A short time later, at the station, the deputy looked through the defendant's phone and found a text message that said "6 4 80," which meant "six pills of Ecstasy for $80."
After being shown this message by Deputy Fazio, who did not obtain a warrant, Diaz then admitted to participating in the drug sale, and he was charged with selling a controlled substance. Diaz pleaded not guilty, and his attorneys moved to suppress the fruits of the cell phone search — the text message and the statements he made when confronted with it — and argued that the search of the cell phone violated the Fourth Amendment.
The majority of justices, in their ruling, agreed that the cell phone was a personal item of Diaz's at the time of his arrest and during administrative processing at the station.
"Because the cell phone was immediately associated with defendant's person, [deputies were] entitled to inspect its contents without a warrant," the justices wrote in their decision.
In her dissenting opinion, Justice Kathryn Werdegar argued that the search was too invasive, because data on an electronic device would not fall under "searches of an arrestee's person and effects." Werdegar also called the search a "potential intrusion on informational privacy" in her opinion.
"Never before has it been possible to carry so much personal or business information in one's pocket or purse," Werdegar wrote. "The potential impairment to privacy if arrestees' mobile phones and handheld computers are treated like clothing or cigarette packages, fully searchable without probable cause or a warrant, is correspondingly great."
Although several previous federal court rulings, including those in Maine and Texas, appear to be in agreement with the California decision, the Ohio Supreme Court has come out on the other side of the issue. In December of 2009, it ruled that digital containers are more protected than other containers, such as pockets, wallets, backpacks and packs of cigarettes.
An attorney for Diaz plans to appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court, reports MSNBC. A ruling by the nation's high court would bring needed clarity, according to Devallis Rutledge, a former police officer and veteran prosecutor who contributes monthly to POLICE Magazine's Point of Law department.
"We need to have a U.S. Supreme Court decision on this because it's not good to have one law in Ohio and one in California," Rutledge told Campus Safety magazine. "My hope is that they will agree [with the Diaz decision], and say that we can't place on police officers in the field the burden of determining as technology advances whether a particular product that has been put out by Apple or Microsoft is going to fit into a category of things that are or aren't searchable.
"The only workable rule that the U.S. Supreme Court can come down with, that I see, is the same one that the California court came down with in Diaz; namely we're not going to differentiate between containers that hold data or information because we can't anticipate what they are going to look like."

Samantha Ann Perales, 42, was also convicted of possession of a controlled dangerous substance — methamphetamine, unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia and driving without a valid driver's license.
JAY — A Delaware County jury convicted a Tulsa woman of manslaughter on Wednesday, Feb. 14, and recommended she serve a life sentence in the death of Amberly Ruth Bradley in a head-on collision.
Samantha Ann Perales, 42, was also convicted of possession of a controlled dangerous substance — methamphetamine, unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia and driving without a valid driver's license.
The jury recommended 10 years for the drug possession, one year for the paraphernalia possession and 30 days on the driver's license offense.
Delaware County District Attorney Kenny Wright said Perales would be sentenced April 6.
"I think a life sentence is very fitting for the crime," Wright said after the jury returned a guilty verdict.
Bradley, 36, was killed April 12, 2015, in a head-on collision. Her family said in a 2015 email that she left two children, one of those is special needs child who is blind with cerebral palsy
"A syringe full of meth was found (in Perales' pickup) and her blood sample tested positive for meth," Wright said.
The trial began Monday, Feb. 12, and 11 witnesses testified for the state.
Perales did not take the stand and the defense called no witnesses, Wright said.
The 5-men, 7-woman jury deliberated one hour and 20 minutes.
Leslie Heth, a retired school teacher, testified she was driving south on U.S. 59 and was following Perales' automobile as it weaved back and forth and repeatedly crossing over the center line, and witnessed the wreck according to Wright.
Wright said Heth testified Perales was driving erratically.
Perales was driving around 50 mph and then would speed up to 65 mph and then drop her speed to 50 mph, Wright said.
Heth attempted to pass Perales but slowed down and stayed behind her vehicle after Perales' vehicle moved into her lane, she testified according to Wright.
Heth began pulling the children out of the wreckage but she did make eye contact with the young Bartlesville mother before she died at the scene trapped her vehicle, Wright said.
One child sustained a broken jaw, Wright said.
The crash happened about two miles north of Kansas when her Perales' pickup crossed the center line on a curve and struck Bradley's vehicle, according to a probable cause affidavit.

SOME suspected gunmen were yesterday arrested in Kano State by a combined team of the Joint Task Force (JTF) and the police.
The team launched a house-to-house search for explosives and weapons, following recent killings and rampant gun attacks in Yankaba and Dakata areas of the city by suspected Boko Haram sect members.
Their efforts paid off with the arrest of suspects in the wee-hour raid on Hotoro, Mariri and Zango communities – all identified black spots.
According to an eyewitness account, several gun shots were heard in the neighborhood as early as 5am.
One person was reportedly killed in the crossfire between security operatives and the suspects.
Kano Police Command spokesman Magaji Majiya, who confirmed the incident, identified the lone victim as a tricycle operator.
He said the driver was shot by gunmen on the rail track crossing in Dakata/Yankaba. Majiya informed that the victim's tricycle was taken away.
The spokesman also confirmed that security operatives have spread their dragnets in the area in search of fleeing gunmen.
It was learnt that the JTF began the house-to-house search in suspected flash points like Hotoro, Mariri, Hausawa. The areas are believed to be harbouring suspected Boko Haram militants.
Dakata/Kawaji area has been under Islamic extremists' siege, a development that has claimed several lives and ruined businesses.
About 900 National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) members out of the 2413 deployed to Kano State for orientation have been redeployed to other parts of the country. Their redeployment followed the March 18 bomb blast that rocked the New Road Motor Park, in Sabongari Area of the city, which claimed more than 20 lives.
But Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso assured the corps members of adequate security, urging them to respect the norms and culture of their hosts.
Speaking with reporters shortly after the passing out parade of "Batch A, at Karaye Camp, the state coordinator, Alhaji Bashir Yakasai, said prior to the explosion, very few corps members indicated interests to be redeployed after the orientation programme.
However, soon after the bomb blast, many corps members irequested to be redeployed and their request was granted, he said.
Yakassai said: "Despite the Director General's intervention, the corps members insisted on their redeployment. There was a directive that corps members should be redeployed to four key areas of agriculture, rural infrastructure, education and health."
He urged corps members to utilise the skills acquired during their orientation, so as to achieve self reliance.

This recipe is gluten free, grain-free, dairy free, sugar free & no one will ever know!
I LOVE Snickerdoodles! They take me all the way back to 7th grade, when I was so excited to sign up for Home Economics (not because I thought I'd be an amazing homemaker, but because we'd get to make cookies–dahhhh, a person has to have priorities 🙂
But for some reason our teacher was more into sewing than cooking which I really wasn't thrilled about. So when she finally agreed to let us make some cookies, my life changed for the better.
The cookies we made were Snickerdoodles and they were ahhhmazing! I don't know if it was because we had been starved in that class, and our bodies were trying to hoard, but I couldn't get enough of those yummy treats.
So when it came to changing our diets, I was determined to come up with a good, safe alternative, come heck or highwater or whatever those cliche's might be 🙂
The really exciting thing is, I think we did it! This recipe is not only gluten-free, grain free, dairy-free, and sugar free, but it also has some ingredients that help boost our nutritional intake-yay!

Peter Huan walks into SPAC, seemingly unaware of the building's athletic purpose. He is wearing jeans rather than running shorts, and is carrying a laptop and tri-fold poster rather than a water bottle and headphones. And what is that stairwell he is disappearing into? Has that always been there? No, Peter is not just a confused freshman. Rather, this student dressed in everyday wear is on his way to the Northwestern Garage, an innovation incubator whose aim is to help students experiment, collaborate and take their cross-disciplinary ideas to the next level.
The Garage first opened its doors in June 2015 with an event showcasing the types of student startups the space would help create, from childhood education curricula to 3-D sensing technology. Now, the space offers an array of academic and professional programs that help students develop entrepreneurial skills and business acumen. From prototyping workshops to pitch practice sessions with NU alums to a source of funding for new ideas and projects, The Garage serves as a true aggregator of innovation.
The Garage brings together students from all of Northwestern's schools to attend workshops, collaborate and create businesses.
"We're trying to expand the role of The Garage on campus this quarter – which means a lot of different things to a lot of different people," said Weinberg senior Lejia Duan, who works in the Garage.
One way The Garage physically made its presence known on campus was by being the venue for the most recent board of trustees dinner.
"We had set up demos as part of the event and a lot of the work that the student groups were doing, and it was super cool to see the board of trustees so blown away by what the technology here could do," Duan said.
Stepping foot in the space and looking at the chrome, futuristic furniture and variety of workstations, it is hard not to be inspired – a feeling that has led many student groups working on innovative projects to apply for residency with the space. The resident, or ventures, program offers select students the opportunity to go through a quarter-long "personalized boot-camp" to transform ideas into a marketable business model, according to a press release for the Garage.
At a breakout space along the right wall sits one such group of students: McCormick juniors Peter Haun, Nicholas Kavanau, Alexander Gangwish and Dixon Yu, and McCormick sophomores Jack Evans and Blake Strebel. All members of Design for America (DFA), a nationwide network of student teams using human-centered design to create social impact, these six students have taken the The Garage's title literally: attempting to come up with an in-car solution using existing technology for individuals who may be driving drowsily.
In fact, these students are working directly with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) as part of an affiliation with Design for America, in which FCA provides a $500 grant to a select DFA team to undertake this design challenge.
After a rigorous application process, the team was given the opportunity to spend Fall Quarter researching and prototyping a variety of possible solutions to a problem that affects everyone, especially the 90% of American citizens who say they drive to work, according to the Brookings Institute, and four percent of drivers have reported falling asleep at the wheel in the past month, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Team members offered up personal anecdotes to reinforce the statistics.
"This past weekend, I was driving on very little sleep and I know that if I had a way to wake myself up – I know I didn't crash but if I had sort of a guarantee ... that's not something I would even have to worry about," Huan said.
Now that the FCA team is moving into the prototyping stage of development, The Garage is becoming an increasingly important resource. A whopping 11,000 square feet large, the space is comprised of privacy booths, a next-generation classroom with top-of-the-line video projection, group and individual work stations, a stocked kitchen, a workshop/prototyping area and more.
"I don't know of any other channel that gives you access to an Oculus Rift or a Google Project Tango, so I would say [the space] is pretty unique," Buan said.
"You feel like an entrepreneur when you're in there," Kavanau said, provoking nods of agreement from team members. The team was even able to bring their ideas back to a Sunday morning Design for America meeting in the space, where they passed around citrus and mint extracts to demonstrate how they were exploring aromatherapy as a possible drowsiness deterrent.
With a mission statement closely aligned with that of The Garage, Design for America utilizes the space frequently, making it easy for the FCA Team to see the value in applying for a residency with the brand new space.
"As we develop, they're developing too," Huan said, alluding to the increasing array of networking and team-building opportunities the space offers.
"As we create something physical and refine our strategy, there are always resources available to us," Kavanau said, adding that The FCA team is also exploring reaction-time testing as a possible solution.
While The Garage itself has provided the FCA team members the chance to improve their collaborative and persuasive skills, working on such a project has had an impact that they say extends beyond just the development of innovation expertise.
"The biggest takeaway as we've gone through this project is ... when you put yourself in the situation – whether it's theoretical or actual – you can see the real dangers, the real struggles and real journeys that people go through every single day," Huan said.

Kids and the environment: Jenny Deller's rich, warm & probing FUTURE WEATHER
Jenny Deller's wonderful new film, FUTURE WEATHER, success-fully combines the world's most pres-sing current problem, global warming, with one of its oldest: the parent/child relation-ship. This new film-maker (this is her first "full-lengther") gives us one of the best and most realistic looks at budding adolescence as it comes to a smart, feeling girl with problems on her plate no kid should handle alone.
Perla Haney-Jardine, who, it turns out, I have actually seen several times previously, but considering the pace at which young kids grow, I simply did not recognize her as a teenager, here.
Amy Madigan, above, right), her school teacher (a fine Lili Taylor, below) and schoolmate (a charming turn by newcomer Anubhav Jain, shown at bottom).
Marin Ireland (below, right), this character might seem too much. Late in the movie we (and Lauduree) learn some pretty awful information from grandma that helps explains mom's lack of caring/character.
William Sadler, below) is a help to both Lauduree and Gram.

You Are My Portion O Lord - Psalm 119h - Heth
57 You are my portion, O LORD;
— I have promised to obey Your words.
58 I have sought your face
— with all my heart;
— be gracious to me
— according to your promise.
59 I have considered my ways and
— I have turned my steps
— toward your statutes.
60 I will hasten and not delay to obey your commands.
61 Though the wicked bind me with ropes, I will not forget your law.
62 At midnight I will arise to give you thanks for your righteous laws.
63 I am a friend to all who fear you, to all who follow your precepts.
64 The earth is filled with your love, O LORD; teach me your decrees.
"I am His, and He is mine." Song of Solomon
You are my portion O LORD is perhaps the central and most important theme of Psalm 119. Without the indwelling Spirit of the living God, the declarations, sentiments and prayers of Psalm 119 are unutterable by any mortal man. I don't think it an accident that this same promise was given to Abraham, the father of faith, when God told him, "I am your exceeding great reward." Additionally, when Israel was moving into the promised land and it was being divided among the twelve tribes, the tribe of Levi was not given a specific portion. Rather, it was said,
That is why the Levites have no share or inheritance among their brothers; the LORD is their inheritance... Deut 10:9
I have promised to obey Your words... This promise is only worth its salt because of the statement that preceded it. Unless the Lord is our portion... unless the Lord Himself indwells us and makes that commitment to obey through us then the promise is empty and vain. Israel made this same promise after hearing the Law at Mount Sinai for the first time:
The people all responded together, "We will do everything the LORD has said." Exodus 19:8
Though that promise has not been kept by Israel, even up to this day, both Jeremiah and Ezekiel saw a fulfillment of the promise they made in the last days because of a new covenant that the LORD would be making with Israel:
"This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time," declares the LORD. "I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. Jeremiah 31
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put My Spirit IN you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. Ezekiel 36:26-27
Saul of Tarsus (Paul) is a kind of first fruits example of the fulfillment of this promise. Before he met the Lord, he was certain that he was pursuing God with all his heart, and he was full of his own brand of "law-keeping" zeal. He was working feverishly to stamp out some new strain of heresy that claimed that Jesus of Nazareth had risen from the dead. That is, until he had his own encounter with the risen Jesus: "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?"
In the light of that confrontation, Saul was able to consider his ways and turn his steps toward the Lord's statutes. In an instant, his entire view of God and the world died a sudden and horrible death. As with Goliath, the Living Stone (Jesus), struck Saul right between the eyes, sunk into his skull, and laid him low in the dust. He was a dead man, and may not have even had time to consider that he was passing from the ranks of the persecutor to the persecuted. Everything he "knew" about God was transformed into dung.
Many of the themes of the great Epistles of the New Testament were written on Paul's heart that day:
"We know that our old self was crucified with Him... " Romans 6
"I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me." Galations 2:20
"But now a righteousness from God, apart from the Law, has been made known..." Romans 3:21
I will hasten and not delay, to obey Your commands - Mere days after Ananias prayed for Paul and the scales fell from his eyes, scripture says: "At once, he began to preach in the synagogues that Jesus is the Son of God." Acts 9:20 You might think that being made guilty of the shedding the Lord's blood would paralyze one with guilt and shame, but in actuality it a necessary qualification for receiving the Gift of the Holy Spirit. It is the straight and narrow gate that leads to Eternal Life. Paul went through that narrow gate and came out a NEW kind of man. "Behold! Old things are passed away and all things are become new." By faith Paul was already living in that city where there is no need of the sun "because the Lamb is the light thereof..." Revelation 21:23
At midnight I will arise to give you thanks - Living by the light and life of the Lamb is why Paul and Silas were able to sing hymns at midnight after being severely flogged. That demonstration of the life of God (in the face of harsh persecution) shook the foundations of the earth then, and it will do the same now. Because of what Jesus did at the cross, His resurrection life, which is the gift of the Holy Spirit, is available to anyone who will receive it. "The Word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart".
The earth is FILLED with Your love O Lord! - Jesus did not leave a single sin unpaid for. He tasted death for every man. (Hebrews 2:9) Teach me your decrees. - What remains for us is to be instructed of these truths in every circumstance; to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ and the power of His resurrection.

The buying and selling of marketing services is a courtly and inefficient affair. Big accounts are usually awarded only after a series of earnest phone calls, fancy lunches and elaborate pitch meetings. A new exchange intends to change all that by bringing the whole process to the Web.
U.S. Marketer.com has introduced an exchange intended to match up the corporate execs that buy marketing services and the agencies that provide them. It is aimed at corporate advertisers of all sizes and the 165,000 marketing agencies throughout the U.S., including ad agencies, direct marketing and public relations firms, stock photography concerns and trade show companies.
A brand manager from a software company, for example, can log on, submit a request for proposal for an ad campaign and shoot it out over U.S. Marketer.com's exchange. Interested marketers can then contact the advertiser.
Offline, this process can be excruciating for both advertiser and marketer, said U.S. Marketer.com CEO and founder Martin Williams. The exchange can shorten the ordeal to hours, he said.
The company currently has the niche to itself. Similar exchanges, such as AdExchange.com and MediaMarketMakers.com, link advertisers with Web sites.
Outlook uncertain
Were its intended market ripe for a transition to the Web, U.S. Marketer.com would be set. But at least one consultant said that it is not. Many corporate advertisers value things that are hard to measure over the Web- such as personality and compatibility-more than timeliness and quality of work in selecting an agency, said Jim Nail, senior analyst at Forrester Research Inc.
"Hiring an agency to do work is not a commodity. It's not always done on the quality of the work. It's not always done on price,'' Nail said. "What's more important is measuring the people I'm going to have to deal with day in and day out for months.''
Williams is sanguine that there is a big, untapped marketplace for his company's exchange. "It's perfect for an exchange. There's massive fragmentation,'' he said.
Before founding U.S. Marketer.com, Williams held top marketing jobs with companies such as Glaxo Wellcome plc and American Home Products. Among his responsibilities was choosing marketing agencies, a task he said was agonizing and time-wasting.
"It's a pain to do this effectively,'' said Williams, a Wales native and Harvard Business School grad. "There's a constant churn of ad and public relations agencies.''
Apparently, other execs agree. Since launching earlier this month, nearly 2,000 users have signed on, including Commerce One Inc. subsidiary AppNet Inc. and nCipher, a Web security company. U.S. Marketer.com intends to sign up 20,000 users by year-end, he said.
The exchange's use is straightforward. Advertising execs log on to it and select, for example, direct marketing. They would then fill out an RFP, describing the assignment and its estimated budget. U.S. Marketer.com would automatically forward it to direct marketing agencies with profiles that match the assignments. Agencies then contact the advertiser online for simple assignments, such as stock photography, or call them for more involved ones, such as creative work.
U.S. Marketer.com makes money by charging agencies commission rates. These range from 2% for easy jobs such as printing to 50% for more complex ones, including application services provider services. So far, the company has made about $200,000, Williams said.
Given that U.S. Marketer.com has attracted only $1 million in venture capital, and considering the failure of many start-ups to make any money, that amount is notable. In the meantime, the company is seeking another cash infusion and setting marketing plans, including magazine ads and trade shows.

We propose in this paper to use the delayed gel point character of thiol-ene-based resist to reduce the influence of polymerization shrinkage during the replication of micro-optical elements with continuous relief by UV embossing. Experiment results indicate that this resist can be used to bring down the fabrication error to less than 2% in the vertical direction at a proper thickness of the residual resist, which is far less than that of traditional acrylate-based resist. This resist can also be used to transfer continuous relief into a fused silica substrate through reactive ion etching because of its good etching resistance.

Face/Headsegmentation dataset
Mut1ny is making part of its head/face segmentation dataset available for free. People can use it freely in their own research, private or commercial application if they want. As long as the original dataset is not made public available elsewhere there is not going to be any restriction in its usage. The reason being we discovered there are so few freely/open available segmentation datasets that containing a significant number of test samples for training decent segmentation algorithms. In this particular domain there are known we are aware of.
Our current dataset contains over 19k labeled images (19187 exactly last measured 02/01/2019) and we hope it is going to grow further also with your help.
*NEW* As of 06/08/2018 the dataset also includes a new label (so some of the previous label images have been updated), the new label is facial hair/beard and its label value is: 255,192,192
Here a few example images:
*NEW* As of 02/01/2019 the dataset also includes bounding boxes of the different facial parts
Here a few example images:
Here is a small sample dataset containing 80 fully labled examples you can download for further inspection if you like.
If you are interested in hearing more on which neural network architecture to use for this dataset why not read this series What Segmentation model to use?
If you are interested in receiving the whole dataset we will ask you to provide a small data contribution helping us to enlarge the dataset with new data.
In detail we ask you to provide 40 previously unlabled images to be added to the dataset. We provide both the unlabled images as well as a tool that can help you to generate these 40 segmented labled images
If you are interested in doing so please fill out the form below

SALT LAKE CITY — An amended bill requiring at least two drinkers serve on the state liquor commission cleared a House committee Friday.
Rep. Brian Doughty, D-Salt Lake, revised HB193 after the House Government Operations Committee put it on hold last week. The amended bill removes the definition of "regular" drinker and the percentage of commissioners that would have to be consumers of alcohol.
Commissioners who drink would still have to sign an affidavit verifying they consumed alcohol for at least one year prior to being appointed. Questioned about the need for an affidavit, Doughty said he's open to eliminating that requirement but wanted a way to prove alcohol consumption "rather than take a shot before each liquor commission meeting."
The measure now calls for two members of the current five-member commission and three members of a seven-member commission to be drinkers. The measure has a coordinating clause with SB66, which proposes to expand the commission to seven members.
"It is my opinion that when we regulate an industry, we should have representation from those who are being regulated," Doughty said.
Rep. Doug Sagers, R-Tooele, said the proposal does not reflect the state's demographics or alcohol consumption rates.
"Why do we need to change the law when nothing appears to be broken?" he said.
The current five-member commission includes two drinkers, one appointed by former Gov. Jon Huntsman and one by Gov. Gary Herbert.
"I just want to ensure going forward that remains," Doughty said.
The bill also would say no more than three commissioners could belong to the same political party and no more than two could have the same occupation. Three of the current commissioners are attorneys.
"I think this is a fascinating concept," said Rep. Kraig Powell, R-Heber City. He said it's not so much a question of demographics as it is qualifications to serve on the commission. Non-consumers might not have the understanding and appreciation for the alcohol business.
Rep. Curt Oda, R-Clearfield, said the commission needs some balance.
HB193 now moves to the House floor for consideration.

#8 White
Almost there... week eight out of ten of my Finesmith challenge. A little bit late as well, but life's been busy.
The theme is 'White'. I'm 'in talks' with a very talented skin creator for at least one new skin, one that would do better justice to this colour... but here goes anyway... White has, as every other colour, different associations in different cultures. In mine, being western, the colour is associated to purity, innocence and everything good while in the east it's the colour of death. Death is, I suppose, also a kind of purification. Of course, white is the illusion of death the winter snow brings with its slumbering potential. I wanted to express the purity of the colour in some cool elegance. Looking at the result, I think 'pure soul' was in my mind as this outfit slowly developed.
I chose Finemith's Black Nile set consisting of a goatee and ear rings as a starting point. The immediate associations to a white cross can't be ignored as a westerner. Beside the colour itself, these pieces presented a challenge in themselves... where are the role models for bearded ladies? The slinky line and feel of the goatee creates down the chest is different and refreshing. Personally, I would have been happy to have a gold option to choose between, but artists have very specific visions at times. The goatee brings the thoughts to those little beards of the east... and maybe that's why I haven't actually ever seen these pieces worn. It's very brave to take such a male icon as a beard and make something utterly female out of it. It falls in the same category as my pet peeve, skirts for guys, where traditional gender values stands in the way for innovation. In retrospect, the white cross do combine east and west... it's becoming clearer day by day the role various churches has played in oppression, exploitation and crimes against humanity as instrument of death and despair. What more erie stones but white diamonds in a cross shape to illustrate all that? Hee... I could write and essay on possible, and perfectly un-intended, symbolism of the design. That's not my intent nor do I want to associate my dark broodings with Yula's jewellery. These are beautiful, unique pieces... I mean, who else but Finesmith would make such perfect nipple shields and call them ear rings? *winks*
The other bits and pieces... Hair: New Tower Hair from L+N Signature. Comes with hair base that has this cute little forelock that's worthwhile in it's own right Make up: AstroGlam, black, from Nuuna Jacket: From Cassie Outfit, Diram Corset: Santina from ALB Dream Fashion. Comes with the alternative of continuing half way down the thighs as pants Pants: Gatsby Pants, obviously the white version, from Tableau Vivant Shoes and Bustle: Precarious Platforms and High Tea Gown, both from Ladies Who Lunch Photos were taken at the beautiful art deco Cotton Club, one of my and my SL partner's favourite places in SL. My apologies to the lady who arrived in the middle of this who must have thought I was nuts while working with the pose. XD Last but far from the least... the music. Enjoy!

Long before the cops from Newtown, Connecticut decided to speak with The New York Times about the horrors they discovered inside the Sandy Hook Elementary School, they were heroes. These were the men who ran toward gunfire to rescue children from a madman. And today we are learning just what it was they ran into.
Of the seven police officers who opened up to the Times were several who had never before spoken to the press. Their stories are hard to read, but even harder to turn away from because they represent all at once true horror and true heroism in America.
These police officers, many of them parents, were faced with what many of us couldn't bear to watch from the safety of our own homes, cuddled up with our own kids. But unlike us, they had to face it. They had to act.
Not only did they, but as these details related by the Newtown officers show, it was with true grace:
1. As the surviving children were led out of the building, officers created a human curtain around the dead bodies of Principal Dawn Hochsprung and School Psychologist Mary Sherlach, while others blocked the doors of classrooms filled with dead bodies, so the survivors would be spared the sight.
2. Officers found a little girl with a faint pulse in one room. Rushed outside to an ambulance, the girl was told, "You're safe now; your parents love you," by Officer William Chapman, who'd cradled her in his arms and ran her out of the school. The little girl did not survive.
3. When School Resource Officer Leonard Penna entered one room, he found that all the children inside were dead. All, that is, but one. Covered in blood, the girl was shocked but unhurt. As soon as he was sure the gunman was dead, he ran the little girl out of the building, straight to a triage area.
4. As more police arrived on the scene, early responders warned officers who had children to back down rather than making them live through the horrors.
5. As Detective Jason Frank collected evidence, he was faced with the same monster truck backpack his 6-year-old carries, and unfinished Christmas ornaments drying on a windowsill that will never be carried home to parents.
There is more, much more, from the officers who have spent the past six weeks struggling to make sense of a national tragedy. Each details is hard to bear, and even harder to imagine living through. But these officers did it, and every day since, they've been reliving it.
What would you say to these officers if you could?
