Montoya and Martin Miami-Bound? With One Race to Go Before "Playoffs" Set, the Top 12 Reshuffles
Montoya rolled to a third-place finish at Atlanta to improve his Championship points standings wth one race to go before the Chase (photo courtesy: Todd Warshaw, Getty Images Sport)
Just one race remains before the Chase contenders' field is set for Ford Championship Weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Nov. 20-22. At Race 25 (of 36) in Atlanta, Kasey Kahne snatched a victory and to virtually assured himself a berth in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, which will be crowned Nov. 22 in Miami, with great seats available right now.
Miami resident Juan Pablo Montoya bolstered his own Chase resume with a strong third-place finish at Atlanta to improve to eighth in the Championship standings, 88 points ahead of 13th-place Brian Vickers. Mark Martin remained 10th in the standings – who would be the No. 1 seed if the Chase started today based on his four victories this season – widened his advantage over 13th place to 69 points.
Montoya, the former IndyCar champion and seven-time Formula One race-winner, is looking to make history as the first non-American born driver ever to qualify for the Chase, in just his third year on the NASCAR circuit. As soon as he climbed from his car at Atlanta, he searched out a computer to see where he was in the standings heading to Race 26 at Richmond—the last race before the Chase.
"It just makes life easier," Montoya said of gaining a spot in the Top 12 drivers who qualify for NASCAR's "playoffs. "In the position we are in right now, it's just about going there—we have a great car, just be smart and get a Top 10."
There was no change among the Top 12 drivers, though there was some shuffling in their order. Stewart still leads, followed by Gordon, Johnson, Hamlin, Carl Edwards, Kahne, Kurt Busch, Montoya, Ryan Newman, Martin, Greg Biffle and Matt Kenseth. Brian Vickers will go to Richmond 20 points behind Kenseth, with Kyle Busch 37 points out of a return to the Chase—and a chance to race for the Championship to be crowned at Homestead-Miami Speedway Nov 22.
"I think it's great," Montoya said post-race, having been a victim of tire problems the previous two races at Michigan and Bristol. "I think everyone on the team did an amazing job. Last race in Bristol, I thought we had a chance of winning. We had a flat tire. It cost us a lot in points."
"Two races with flat tires...lost a bunch of points, it's always kind of worrying. Every [double-file] restart you go, 'Please, nobody slide into me.' Things like that. It was nice to see that Kasey and Kevin [Harvick] and myself were the three fastest cars by a mile. Once you got in line, after the first corner, you knew you were fine."
Denny Hamlin's sixth-place showing allowed him to become the fourth driver to clinch a spot in the Chase, joining Tony Stewart, Jeff Gordon and three-time defending champion Jimmie Johnson.
Headed to Richmond Saturday night, just four drivers having clinched a spot in the Chase. After those four, the next 10 drivers in the points standings are separated by a mere 122 points. So one race remains before the Chase for the Sprint Cup Trophy begins, with the Champion to be crowned at Homestead-Miami Speedway Nov. 22. And the BEST seats are available NOW for the series-crowning Championship finales of all three of NASCAR's top circuits: the Camping World Truck Series (Friday), Nationwide Series (Nov. 21) and Sprint Cup Series (Sunday). For Friday night's Truck Championship, all kids 12 and under will be admitted FREE; on Saturday for the Nationwide Championship, all kids 12 and under are just $15; and for Sunday's Sprint Cup Championship, adult tickets start at just $55. Click here to view great seats available for each race.

Mark Reckless says goodbye to Ukip - and Kippers blame Douglas Carswell
Reckless is joining the Conservative group in the Welsh assembly, but he is not rejoining the party nationally.
When he quit Ukip last month, Douglas Carswell said he was doing so because it was "job done".
Two weeks later, Mark Reckless is following in his close pal's footsteps – and even borrowing his language.
"For me it is job done now that Article 50 has been triggered," stated the former Tory MP.
The Conservatives confirmed that while Reckless had joined the party's group in the Welsh Assembly - making them the second largest party after Labour - he had not actually rejoined the party.
Reckless and Carswell were both seen as being on the liberal wing of Ukip, as opposed to the Nigel Farage wing. But it was always Carswell who Farage and his allies hated the most.
So as new of Reckless' defection emerged, Farage suggested that Carswell was to blame.
He told Press Association: "I have always liked Mark Reckless, but if he thinks he can just leave after being elected on a list system that is very dishonourable behaviour ... He is clearly close to Douglas Carswell, I guess some kind of pressure's been put on him."
Then Ukip donor Arron Banks suggested in tweet that Reckless's resignation statement might have been penned by Carswell and Ukip MEP Daniel Hannan.
When Reckless announced in 2014 that he was leaving the Tories to join Ukip, then prime minister David Cameron revealed his frustration – by accusing Reckless of betraying activists who worked to get his "fat arse" on the Commons benches.
It seems unlikely that vicar's daughter Theresa May would ever use the same language about Reckless.
But just to make sure, the former Tory MP went out his way to express his support for the prime minister.
He stated in his letter: "I campaigned all my adult life for us to leave the EU. Now we are, under a Conservative government. I support Theresa May, and her team of Brexit ministers, to deliver."

Communications Department has defended Minister Faith Muthambi amid criticism regarding her decision to implement un-encrypted television set-top boxes for the digital migration project.
This is despite statements from members of the ruling party that the decision defies the original ANC policy, which called for encryption.
Encryption would allow government to broadcast emergency warnings and regulate the use of set-top boxes outside of South Africa.
The department's Acting Deputy Director General, Norman Munzhelele explains that the ANC's policy on encryption orders that there be a security feature protecting the transmission of digital terrestrial television.
The department has always maintained the position that there is a need to have a mechanism in the [set-top] box to assist government to protect its investment, and to ensure that the boxes do not work outside the borders of the country.— Norman Munzhelele, Acting Deputy Director General for the Communications Department
Munzhelele did not comment on the argument that broadcasters, with encrypted systems, such as DSTV will benefit, while ETV and other un-encrypted networks will suffer.
According to Munzhelele, there are existing measures to protect the transmission and competition, such as signal distributor Sentech and regulator Icasa.
Other broadcasters have argued that it will be impossible to broadcast high quality programmes if the un-encrypted system is implemented, limiting the diversity and risking the piracy of content.
Listen to the full conversation from The Midday Report with Stephen Grootes:

In today's world, a lot of things can be done without even stepping out of the house. The trend of telecommuting is also catching up in many industries. So with so much being done on the laptops and computers, it is important to ensure that these are working at their best condition. For windows based laptop or computer to work well, the main requisite is the speed. It is not just the hardware that determines the speed and the ability to multitask but also the software. Keeping windows programs up to date is one of the most important things to do to ensure that the computer or laptop performs well.
Windows updates are important
Windows updates might be time-consuming. But to ensure the problem-free operation you should perform regular updates. I ensure that my PC operating system and the Windows apps are always up to date and this is how I fix critical windows 10 problems. Because when the apps are up to date a majority of the problems can easily be avoided.
Manually check for updates
Click on the check for updates button in the Windows update tab. You can easily find this by keying in the keywords in the search tab in Start menu. This would be a way to immediately find if there are updates available for download. Automatic update options can also be set in this window. You would be able to access information about the available updates, the previous updates and more. When these updates are chosen the other Microsoft products could also be chosen to be simultaneously updated.
If you are someone who keeps forgetting to update your apps you could try installing an app updater tool. This would make it easy to automate the updates and notify you of any important updates available for the various programs installed.

Robotic Surgery Lobectomy
Robotic surgery lobectomy represents a cutting-edge approach for the surgical removal of primary malignant lesions, metastatic lesions and benign lesions of the peripheral and central lung. The first robot-assisted right lower-lobe excisional biopsy procedure in the region was performed at Lutheran Hospital Nov. 12, 2010.
Use of robotic surgery allows formal, anatomical resection, along with complete mediastinal lymph node dissection—the gold standard treatment for early-stage nonsmall cell lung cancer. This approach provides effective treatment without the need for formal thoracotomy (open technique) or facilitation-access mini-thoracotomy (video-assisted thoracic sugary or WATS technique).
Potential patient benefits include:
- No access thoracotomy/no rib spreading
- Reduced cancer reoccurrence, mortality in advanced disease
- Reduced pain, postoperative neuralgia
- Less blood loss
- Fewer complications
Highlights of the lobectomy procedure include a totally endoscopic approach using single intercostal port placement and advanced dexterity, provided by instrumentation that enables access and exposure to upper, middle and lower lobes. This allows performance of a complete anatomical resection with specimen retrieval—without the need for rib spreading. 3DHD vision and advanced instrumentation also provides improved accuracy of dissection, limiting blood loss and enabling precise isolation of vascular structure.
Before you decide on surgery, discuss treatment options with your doctor. Understanding the risks and benefits of each treatment can help you determine the best option for you.

This morning's announcement on the B1 is another example of Profoto's intent to simply NEVER stand still and it's just one of many new additions coming in 2014.
The TTL metering is made possible with Profoto's patent-pending AirTTL system. Already at launch Profoto promised to continuously upgrade the AirTTL system. One of the most frequently requested features is TTL metering with Canon's flagship model: the Canon EOS-1D X. Today, this feature is made available free of charge through an easily installed firmware upgrade. But note that it is not the B1 off-camera flash itself that needs to be upgraded; it is the small radio transmitter that is mounted on the Canon camera's hot shoe: the Air Remote TTL-C.
The complete announcement, including the process for installing the upgrade, is just a click away!

I posted a long ranting post about Freedom a couple of days ago here.
Andrea posted an incredible response to in it a comment... you can read her comment on the same link towards the bottom of the page.
This post is my response to Andrea's comment... if you haven't read my post and her comment, just a warning this post might not make sense. Also, if you don't like honest in-depth discussion about things... this post may bore you and you should probably punt here and go to youtube and find a cool kitten video or something.
Let's just go point by point...
Minimum wage: Andrea states that she doesn't think that companies (kinda out of the goodness of their heart) would pay people a proper wage if minimum wage was abolished. She also states that minimum wage is not a proper living wage. I whole-heartedly agree with both points. Completely.
But here's my response: If it is not a proper living wage how is it doing anyone any good? It accomplishes nothing in the world except driving the cost of goods up for everyone, including folks that are earning that amount. Example: I had a friend that ran 2 pizza joints, everyone in the place that worked full-time made more than minimum wage. If you got a full-time job, you started at more than minimum wage. So, in fact, that employer had taken upon themselves to pay the folks that made it their full time job to support themselves off of, more than the Gov. required. But the part time (about 90% college and high school students) help, started at minimum wage. They then worked themselves up based on performance and time in service. When the current minimum wage went into effect in July 2009 he had to increase the starting wage, and the wages of several folks who had been there for some time because all of a sudden they were making less than the people who started. All total just in pay increases due to minimum wage his yearly operating expense rose $28,000 for 2 pizza joints.What should he do? Eat the cost? There isn't that much profit in Pizza. So he raised his prices some... but you can quickly price yourself out of the game in the pizza business, so he started working more hours himself and his wife worked more hours at the store. So the biggest, longest lasting effects of the raise in this instance was higher priced pizza and less total job hours for employees to be paid in this market. To the point of $7.25 being a livable wage... absolutely its not. You can't support yourself on $7.25 an hour... but a high school kid working 20 hours a week can more than pay for gas and car insurance on it. Someone working a second job to pay off some bills can make a quick bunch of dollars off of it. No one will ever be able to support themselves or a family off minimum wage, that's why the argument of raising it or even having it to insure it is providing a livable wage is ridiculous. There are jobs in the world that aren't intended to provide a livable wage. Not only that, there are jobs in the world that it will disrupt the economy and destroy the market to try and make them pay a livable wage. To the argument of employers won't pay employees a good wage: absolutely there are employers who will take advantage of people and their situation. But there is also free market in this country and everyday thousands of people leave their jobs for greener pastures. I am not one to claim that free market is the end all solution to wage discrepancies... but its the best current solution. Our current wage and labor laws have accomplished 2 things... they have driven the cost of goods up (passed what minimum wage will pay for) and the have made using Migrant or illegal immigrant labor seem like the only viable choice to many employers. Most employers will in-fact pay for good help and the ones that wont are going to resort to other detrimental means to get around it. So what's the answer... let the Market decide and work very hard to help more people realize they have choices and can better themselves or their situation. It won't fix everything, nothing will, but the current situation is hurting everyone except the wealthy.
Unions: Andrea brings up valid points about Unions... they started with 100% sincerity to protect worker's safety and insure fairness in the sharing of profits. Let's be completely straight here I think any private sector union has the right to do and demand anything they want. I have never said they should be regulated in any way from demanding ANYTHING they want... it's America, if the Teamster's want a personal assistant for every employee paid for by the employer, the should legally be able to demand that. Andrea also said that she admits that some Unions have gotten corrupt and protect the lazy, I have seen this first hand as well and think it is a bigger problem than many realize, but I also agree that their are many unions still fighting hard to insure quality of work, worker's basic rights and a fair wage. I also think that many Unions don't have any concern for the well-being of the Company, this probably stemmed from the Company not caring about their well-being, but its a 2 wrongs
Andrea then goes on to discuss "Prostitution" ... (sorry Andrea I feel bad that I drug your name into this convo!)
She brings up completely true and valid points about the horrific facts associated with the illegal pay for sex trade and points out that she doesn't think most prostitutes are engaged in it to pay their mortgage. I think everything she said is true, except the mortgage part. I do think many that involved in it are doing it to pay their bills. Yes of course some (probably more than most professions) are doing it to pay for a drug habit... but folks are working for the postal service to pay for a drug habit as well... any job this is true. But everyone that is doing it because they need the money for legitimate things is being made a criminal for making a contract with another adult to go and do something that is perfectly legal if they don't exchange currency. I would also contend that anything in the world that cannot be eradicated should be legalized and controlled. Alcohol and Drugs have 100% proven that in history. Smoking a joint in my home, having a beer, owning a gun, or having sex for a buck, creates no victim and is only a crime because we create laws that are unenforceable and cost trillions to chase a pipe dream. Would legalizing it make the world perfect? No absolutely not, but it would for sure, relieve under-paid, understaffed Law-Enforcement entities, create a taxable industry and quit making criminals out of consenting adults. It would also create standards and policies for it to be done in a healthy, productive way.
Folks... it's prostitution is illegal for the exact same reason gay marriage still is in so many places... someone chose to legislate their morals on you.
Greed: Andrea talks about Greed next and we just had a mis-communication. She list things like "(not pay taxes or into Social Security or Medicare/caid, food stamps, etc.)" - thats not what I am talking about... I agree they have to pay into those things... I think those things need reworked and modified but we need those things and everyone should pay. I was talking more about wages and the giving of money to programs like research and cultural things. I don't think folks should be forced to pay for things they don't deem essential in most cases. (Yes, there is a gray area here, cut loose)
Andrea's last paragraph is a subjective stance on the overall good of folks. I don't disagree with her, but I also don't think its relevant to the conversation. The fact some bad folks will do bad things is never IMO a legit reason to not let good folks do good things. Also deciding what is good and bad is so often a judgement call. I just think we let morals get into law making and we not only erase some Freedoms to do good, we create criminals that have no victim and we enable some other forms of bad to flourish.
Anyhow... sorry this so long, mega-thanks to Andrea, it was a killer comment and I love the discussion and i will be here for ever so only let it die on this subject if you want.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, I've decided to explore a myth of my own - the myth of Productive Sundays. Do they exist? Who are these people that wake up with endless motivation on what is known universally as a day of rest? These are questions I ponder every Saturday, when I make up my mind to put off everything I swore I would get done that day. It's a dangerous, dangerous game I play every weekend, and most often it's my refrigerator, laundry and apartment that suffer from the inevitable Sunday sleepies I come down with.
So, of course, this weekend I spent all of my Saturday lunching, shopping, and enjoying a few choice libations with the girls (see Eats and Treats for more details), and woke up this morning to a full plate. And what did I do?
I busted the myth! I got breakfast, I cleaned, I grocery shopped, I lunched, and I even showered AND straightened my hair, all to the backdrop of the glorious sounds of football.
Oh, I myth-busted alright. As with working out, it turns out that getting your head in the right place is all it takes to kick it up a notch and accomplish something. As I sit here blogging away during half time of the Cowboys vs Eagles game, I am a proud, proud woman! My apartment is clean, I actually don't NEED to go get dinner on a Sunday, and I have nothing but time for the rest of the night. Feels great!
Not only did I check everything off of my to-do list, but I brainstormed a few additional tasks as well. What?? Thanks to a seriously convincing Martha Stewart Home commercial, I'm now contemplating how to spruce up my abode and organize my life away. Thanks Martha. Baby steps.
So. Pretty. Must. Do.
What did you do this Sunday?

Windows Vista is the OS developed by Microsoft Corporation which is the leading multinational company in developing all versions of Windows operating systems. Microsoft Windows have various versions including Windows XP, Windows 7 and others. This Windows Vista OS was added with many advantageous features like new Windows DVD maker, advanced graphical user interface, etc. It can store files, text, documents, excel sheets, program files, games and others. However these data in the system might be lost in a variety of situations.
The common reasons of data loss from Windows systems are accidental deletion, formatting, viruses attack etc. on the system drive. Here is one such similar situation that ended up in loss of data. Assume that while formatting the system drive the system drive there was power failure that terminated the process of formatting. So, because of this the file system of the drive got corrupt and the data that was stored on it got corrupt. This caused severe loss of data. In such case the only method to restore those data is to opt for Windows Vista recovery software. The software can easily recover all the data from various Windows systems.
Listed here are the scenarios of data loss:
- Improper strategy for creating the backup data – Allowing the backup data in wrong way like creating shortcuts rather than saving it in a location might corrupt the files. Also while creating backup on external storage devices if you find improper interface between systems along with the device then backup data might get corrupt and so files become inaccessible leading to loss of data.
- Virus attack – When the system drive is attacked by any harmful viruses then the files stored on the drive will probably become corrupt and inaccessible. Thus causing severe loss of data.
- Re-installation of OS – When you re-install the main system, occurrence of all sorts of errors in the process might make you format it drive. Thus erasing every one of the data in the drive.
- Overwriting the formatted drive – Whenever you format the drive accidentally then you should be very careful about the drive because if the formatted drive is overwritten then this lost data cannot be restored back by making use of any recovery software.
In all of the scenarios of data loss as a result of drive format on Windows, if your formatted drive is not overwritten, then you can certainly easily retrieve all the data that is certainly lost. You can easily rescue Windows data lost in various ways. The application has certain features which can be stated as below:
- Performs absolute recovery of Windows data with super easy steps
- Accurate recovery of formatted data from various versions of Windows systems
- The software utility helps you to restore data on computer drives having different file systems like FAT, FAT12, FAT32, ExFAT, NTFS, etc on Windows
- You also can recover data lost from various formatted storage devices like memory cards, USB drives, etc
- You can easily get back data from dell laptop after OS crash on Windows XP.
The application perfectly restores each of the lost data from various storage devices. It can be utilized on most Windows systems like Windows 7, Windows, XP and Windows 2003 as well as Windows 2008. Just go here for additional information and download the software program to do any trail.

By Amy Stark;
As a concerned American, I am beyond shocked at the presidential results. The polls all along were predicting a Clinton victory. But the experts (shocked as well) are saying that the polls were inaccurate because Trump supporters were anti-government and mistrustful of the polls and remained mainly invisible, resulting in inaccurate poll results.
White working-class "blue-collar" America has been feeling overlooked by their federal government from having their jobs farmed out overseas to minority groups gaining more political and economic rights. They are yearning to be heard again and to have their needs met. That is understandable. But in the hostile, divisive way presented by Trump, I don't think is the way.
White America is longing to go back to the 'good old days'. But what they fail to remember is that the good old days weren't always so good. While the times of the 1950s and 60s, jobs were more stable and families more intact, they forget that racial and women's rights were way behind and there were issues of sexual abuse by family members and priests which were secretly swept under the rug, all of which caused immeasurable suffering. Lynching of innocent blacks still occurred well into the mid-1950s.
They fail to realize that we cannot go back in time. Time only marches forward. Life is a game of improvisation and adaptation. Tolerance of other peoples' differences not separation is the only way to effectively move forward.
While in Europe, where many countries border each other, The United States is basically a separate entity, surrounded by two oceans, the Atlantic and the Pacific. Many Americans are still oblivious to the conditions of the rest of the world. Where Europeans usually know several languages, most Americans speak only English. Knowing a foreign language is not only about its grammar, reading and conversation. In learning a foreign language, the student also becomes aware of the culture and customs of other countries that speak that other language. Their understanding of others expands. They are able to see past their own ethno-centric world into a broader viewpoint. They are able to converse and build bridges with others when traveling to foreign lands. Many Americans lack this. They experience other countries from the terrace of a Hilton hotel room which isn't really traveling in the purest sense.
Super-religious Evangelical Christians, who have always obsessively touted 'family values' have conveniently overlooked Trump's disrespect for women and his objectifying of them. Normally they would have rejected a candidate who has been married three times as Trump has been. But they laid into Bill Clinton, a democrat, for his indiscretions. I call this selective ethics.
He has consistently dealt in hyperbole, like building a wall on Mexico's border and making their government pay for it. I assure you, this will never happen. It was just a political attention-grabbing ploy to grab the emotions of a disgruntled group of forgotten white folk looking for quick-fix answers to very complicated problems. Daddy Trump will fix everything. How short-sided and simple-minded. It made me embarrassed that he could get away with such rhetoric.
As a reality show host, he is a master of marketing and grabbing the people by their emotions not by using logic. Time and time again, I saw intelligent, experienced people on news shows relaying all the evidence why Trump would not be fit to be President. But his supporters were sold on this Washington outsider, who spoke their down-in-the-gutter white trash talk. And no matter what deplorable things he said and did, they held on.
The saving grace I can think of in this whole debacle is that the U.S. government has been designed to have what I learned as a child as 'checks and balances' The three parts of the government, Legislative, Judicial and Executive that has thus far prevented a dictatorship from occurring. Congress has to approve what the President proposes and The Supreme Court creates (hopefully) just and fair laws.
His acceptance speech was the most tempered and reasonable speech he has ever given, leading me to hope (against all hope) that he will be willing to work with others and compromise his viewpoints and policies to as he has said "make America great again". Only time will tell. But from my view, America always has been great. The United States was born out of a idea a government by the people and for the people, not by bloodline or hostile takeover.
Let see what plays out… (fingers crossed)

River Island is definitely my favorite shop right now. I have spent 100 quid there is month alone! And i could easily spend another £500 without thinking. The best part is that right now they have the most amazing sale. Majority of pieces are 50% off! Like I said I got loads! you can see some of them HERE. the rest i am still waiting to arrive as I ordered them online, and now after searching online again for this post I wanna order a load more!
These are my top picks of the sale:
And the new arrivals for Autumn are amazing too. So far I am loving these pieces:

I think we have all taught in schools alongside colleagues whom we deeply respect and admire. I have been extremely fortunate to have encountered many highly experienced, professional and dynamic teaching practitioners, both in the course of my work and also from the perspective of being a parent. On many occasion, my own children have been extremely lucky to have benefited from such excellence and the amount of learning that takes place is little short of phenomenal.
Sadly however, there is a flip side to this. There are still some practising teachers who need to take a very serious look at either improving or moving. If this does not occur, then perhaps members of the school management team need to recognise when it is time to make the 'hard' decisions. Teachers who lack the respect of colleagues, students, parents and school management and who refuse to change, must leave. After all, there is simply no room, at all, for mediocrity in education!
On reading some of the reports published by the Grattan Institute, along with a range of important research papers, there appears to be an indisputable link between teacher quality and student outcomes.
The evidence from Australia and overseas is remarkably consistent. Conservative estimates suggest that a student with a teacher at the 75th percentile of effectiveness (measured with a value-added metric) will achieve in three-quarters of a year what a student with a teacher at the 25th percentile will achieve in a full year. A student with an excellent teacher (at the 90th percentile) would achieve in half a year what a student with a less effective teacher (at the 10th percentile) will learn in a full year. (Leigh; Hanushek; in Jensen 2011)
This same report, published by the Grattan Institute, also favours having an effective teacher appraisal system in place in schools. For many, the process of teacher appraisal can seem quite threatening. Personally, although I do become quite nervous with other professionals viewing my classes, I like having the opportunity to be mentored; to have someone whom I greatly respect, assist me in becoming more effective and assist me in achieving the personal growth that is needed in my professional practice.
Teaching in itself can be quite an isolating profession in that you are the only adult in the class and, as a result, only have the opportunity to reflect on your own practice. Therefore, including within an appraisal system the chance to visit other teacher's classes can be of great use. When I visit other classes, I find I have not only an opportunity to obtain ideas and learn from others, but I also get to see the classroom from entirely different angles and perspectives. By further adding to this model with allocated sessions for collaborative lesson planning and preparation, and I believe teaching becomes far less isolating.
The Grattan report lists eight methods to 'assess and improve learning and teacher performance', of which at least four, including the first, should be used:
• Student performance and assessments;
• Peer observation and collaboration;
• Direct observation of classroom teaching and learning;
• Student surveys and feedback;
• 360-degree assessment and feedback;
• Self-assessment;
• Parent surveys and feedback; and
• External observation.
• Peer observation and collaboration;
• Direct observation of classroom teaching and learning;
• Student surveys and feedback;
• 360-degree assessment and feedback;
• Self-assessment;
• Parent surveys and feedback; and
• External observation.
(Jensen 2011 p9)
While in my position there is not terribly much I can do to put an end to the practice of mediocrity, there is a very important path available to me. I can continue to learn, to reflect deeply, use data to inform my practice, ask for assistance/mentoring from my respected peers, collaborate with others and share ideas/resources as much as possible. I may not be able to have any control over others but I can always work towards ensuring I have the best chance of being a highly effective teacher!
I like the following excerpt from Carl Glickman's book, Leadership for learning: How to Help Teachers Succeed:
If, as a teacher,
- I present the same lessons in the same manner that I have used in the past;
- I seek no feedback from my students;
- I do not analyze and evaluate their work in a manner that changes my own emphasis, repertoire and timing;
- I do not visit or observe other adults as they teach;
- I do not share the work of my students with colleagues for feedback, suggestions and critiques;
- I do not visit other schools or attend particular workshops or seminars or read professional literature on aspects of my teaching;
- I do not welcome visitors with experience and expertise to observe and provide feedback to me on my classroom practice;
- I have no yearly individualized professional development plan focused on classroom changes to improve student learning; and finally,
- I have no systematic evaluation of my teaching tied to individual, grade/department, and schoolwide goals,
I have absolutely no way to become better as a teacher.

Tanning salons are picking up business because of it, and some people are getting bummed by too much of it.
It's that same old June gloom, when a marine layer descends over the ocean with too much consistency, and so you get the National Weather Service for Orange County and most of Southern California repeating itself: Patchy fog before 11 a.m. Patchy fog expected to last until the early afternoon. Patchy fog after 11 p.m.
Sometimes, the fog doesn't let up.
Because sunshine is a big draw in California, tourists are sometimes surprised by the gloom. Over Memorial Day weekend, many could be seen "freaking out," while they flocked to the Newport Tanning Club at 19th Street and Harbor Boulevard, employees there said.
"God forbid, you be pasty white around Memorial Day or the Fourth of July," says Karina Hernandez, who works at the club and said she's seen a sudden influx of customers that seems to be in direct correlation with the recent fog.

Hello beauties!
You've probably seen this by now, because it's all over the internet at the moment. But it's still such an incredible initiative, that I can't not blog about it. The background of it is this; four students (men, I should put in here) from North Carolina have developed a new kind of nail polish that picks up some of the most common date rape drugs when submerged inside a woman's drink.
It's called Undercover Colors and you really should support them. Check out their website here.
There's this general idea that drink spiking only happens at clubs, house parties or bars. Unfortunately, that isn't true. It can happen anywhere. I actually know a few people who have been the victims of spiked drinks (one of them was drinking coffee in a coffeeshop... She just went to the bathroom and came back to her latte to find it spiked). Some of them, thankfully, could get away without anything other than the drugging happening to them. But sadly, I know of too many who have been victims of the atrocities that follows the drugging. In our society, rape is all too real. And it should be battled more intensively than it is at the moment!!!
So kudos to the four guys who are trying to do their part to make the world a safer place!
Now, the sad thing is that at first, people were really positive about this polish. But then the negativity started coming in too. And that from feminist and anti-woman abuse organisations! They claim that this will make victim blaming all the more popular, because people will be able to say that because she didn't wear the polish, she got raped. That's kind of sick in my opinion.
Apparently that still happens.
These people also say that young men should be educated about rape and that the problem should be eradicated from them. I live in a country riddled with HIV and AIDS. There have been many campaigns to educate the youth about safe sex, in an attempt to stop the spread of the disease. Do you see the statistics of infection decline? No. AIDS still spreads daily and just in the same way, you won't completely rid the world of rapists by talking about it. Education isn't always the answer, because often (not always, I'm really not generalising or stereotyping) the educated ones aren't the problem.
By spreading cosmetics and other inventions that actually impower women I think something real is being done about a problem that cannot be talked away. So please, share this with your friends. Let everyone know that there are ways to protect themselves.
And for goodness sake, NEVER blame a woman, girl or child if she's been sexually offended. It's not her fault! It's wrong and sick to blame her for something she didn't want, and all she needs is your love and support.
It's that simple.
Stay beautiful and be kind to animals,

Lectures - Monday and Wednesday, 11:00 AM - 12:15 PM
Lab - Tuesday, 4:10 PM -7 PM
In the narrow sense of the word, Climate is the average or typical state of the weather at a particular location and time of year. Its description includes the average of such variables as temperature, humidity, windiness, cloudiness, precipitation, visibility etc., and also the expected range of the deviations of these variables from the mean. In the broadest sense however, climate is the state of the Earth's habitable environment consisting of the following components and the interactions between them:
In our generation climate is receiving unprecedented attention due to the possibility that human activity on Earth during the past couple hundred years will lead to significantly large and rapid changes in environmental conditions. These changes could well affect our health, comfort levels, and ability to grow and distribute food.
This course introduces the climate system and the processes that determine its state as a problem in physical science. Our goal is to explain the properties of the climate system and its governing processes in a quantitative manner, so that a better understanding of today's environmental issues can be achieved. The course will also provide a basis for further, more advanced study of the climate system and its individual components or processes. The Climate System course is mainly concerned with the properties of atmosphere and hydrosphere and the physical laws governing their behavior. Attention to the solid and living earth is also given, as far as they affect atmosphere and hydrosphere. Solid Earth and Life are dealt with in much more details in two separate courses under the EES umbrella.
Within the climate system the atmosphere plays the role of the efficient communicator. The atmosphere is capable of quickly moving and distributing mass and heat over large distances, horizontally and vertically and spread the effect of frequent perturbations to remote regions of the globe within hours to days from their occurrence. The atmosphere directly affects life on Earth by supplying the gases for the respiration of vegetation and animals and by moving water from oceanic regions to be deposited in liquid or solid form on land. The atmosphere also shelters life on Earth from the extreme and potentially harmful effects of direct solar radiation. The oceans are most important because of their tremendous heat storage potential and their ability to distribute that heat horizontally. The composition and motion of the water in the hydrosphere sustains a rich and diverse life system. The exchange of gases and heat between oceans and atmosphere determines the physical properties and composition of both these sub-systems and is one of the primary climate processes.
We begin this course in a study of solar radiation, the primary energy source for Earth and its climate system. We examine the properties of the Sun and its energy and the laws governing the transfer of this energy through space from the Sun to the Earth. We then study in detail the transformation of this solar energy on Earth and gain first appreciation on how this energy shapes the properties of Earth's climate.
Review: What is energy?
The energy that drives the climate system comes from the Sun. When the Sun's energy reaches the Earth it is partially absorbed in different parts of the climate system. The absorbed energy is converted back to heat, which causes the Earth to warm up and makes it habitable. Solar radiation absorption is uneven in both space and time and this gives rise to the intricate pattern and seasonal variation of our climate. To understand the complex patterns of Earth's radiative heating we begin by exploring the relationship between Earth and the Sun throughout the year, learn about the physical laws governing radiative heat transfer, develop the concept of radiative balance, and explore the implications of all these for the Earth as a whole. We examine the relationship between solar radiation and the Earth's temperature, and study the role of the atmosphere and its constituents in that interaction, to develop an understanding of the topics such as the "seasonal cycle" and the "greenhouse effect". We complement this lecture by a set of two laboratory assignments that explore in much more detail the spatially and seasonally varying elements of the Earth radiation budget as they are revealed through satellite observations of the Earth.
The Sun is the star located at the center of our planetary system. It is composed mainly of hydrogen and helium. In the Sun's interior, a thermonuclear fusion reaction converts the hydrogen into helium releasing huge amounts of energy. The energy created by the fusion reaction is converted into thermal energy (heat) and raises the temperature of the Sun to levels that are about twenty times larger that of the Earth's surface. The solar heat energy travels through space in the form of electromagnetic waves enabling the transfer of heat through a process known as radiation.
Review: electromagnetic waves.
Solar radiation occurs over a wide range of wavelengths. However, the energy of solar radiation is not divided evenly over all wavelengths but, as Figure 1 shows, is rather sharply centered on the wavelength band of 0.2-2 micrometers (μm=one millionth of a meter). As can be seen from Figure 2, the main range of solar radiation includes ultraviolet radiation (UV, 0.001-0.4 μm), visible radiation (light, 0.4-0.7 μm), and infrared radiation (IR, 0.7-100 μm).
Before proceeding to investigate the effect of solar radiation on Earth we should take a moment to review the physical laws governing the transfer of energy through radiation. In particular we should understand the following points:
To read more about these points go to radiative heat transfer.
Properties of Solar radiation: The Sun is located at the center of our Solar System, at a distance of about 150 x 106 kilometers from Earth. With a surface temperature of 5780 K (degrees Kelvin = degrees C + 273.15), the energy flux at the surface of the Sun is approximately 63 x 106 W/m2 (Do you know what law of radiative transfer do we use to calculate this number? Check the link to radiative heat transfer.) This radiative flux maximizes at a wavelength of about 0.5 μm (can you show that this is true based on the laws of radiative heat transfer?) which is at the center of the visible part of the spectrum.
Solar radiation on Earth: As the Sun's energy spreads through space its spectral characteristics do not change because space contains almost no interfering matter. However the energy flux drops monotonically as the square of the distance from the Sun. Thus, when the radiation reaches the outer limit of the Earth's atmosphere, several hundred kilometers over the Earth's surface, the radiative flux is approximately 1360 W/m2 (Can you calculate this number from the flux at the surface of the Sun and the distance to the Earth? Can you figure out the flux on Pluto, which is 39 times as far from the sun as Earth?).
Effect of orbit's shape: The radiation at the top of the atmosphere varies by about 3.5% over the year, as the Earth spins around the Sun. This is because the Earth's orbit is not circular but elliptical, with the Sun located in one of the foci of the ellipse. The Earth is closer to the sun at one time of year (a point referred to as perihelion) than at the "opposite" time (a point referred to as aphelion). The time-of-year when the Earth is at perihelion moves continuously around the calendar year with a period of 21,000-years. At present perihelion occurs in the middle of the Northern Hemisphere winter. The annual average radiative solar flux at the top of the Earth's atmosphere (=1360 W/m2) is sometimes referred to as the Solar Constant because it has changed by no more than a few percent over the recent history of the Earth (last few hundred years). There are however important variations in this flux over longer, so-called "geological", time scales, to which the Earth glaciation cycles are attributed.
Effect of Earth's spherical shape: If the Earth were a disk with its surface perpendicular to the rays of sunlight, each point on it would receive the same amount of radiation, an energy flux equal to the solar constant. However, the Earth is a sphere and aside from the part closest to the sun, where the rays of sunlight are perpendicular to the ground, its surface tilts with respect to the incoming rays of energy with the regions furthest away aligned in parallel to the radiation and thus receiving no energy at all (Figure 5).
The tilt of the Earth's axis and the seasons: If the axis of Earth was perpendicular to the plane of its orbit (and the direction of incoming rays of sunlight), then the radiative energy flux would drop as the cosine of latitude as we move from equator to pole. However, as seen in Figure 6, the Earth axis tilts at an angle of 23.5° with respect to its plane of orbit, pointing towards a fix point in space as it travels around the sun. Once a year, on the Summer Solstice (on or about the 21st of June), the North Pole points directly towards the Sun and the South Pole is entirely hidden from the incoming radiation. Half a year from that day, on the Winter Solstice (on or about the 21st of December) the North Pole points away from the Sun and does not receive any sunlight while the South Pole receives 24 hours of continued sunlight. During Solstices, incoming radiation is perpendicular to the Earth surface on either the latitude of Cancer or the latitude of Capricorn, 23.5° north or south of the equator, depending on whether it is summer or winter in the Northern Hemisphere, respectively. During the spring and fall (on the Equinox days, the 21st of March and 23rd of September) the Earth's axis tilts in parallel to the Sun and both Polar Regions get the same amount of light. At that time the radiation is largest at the true equator. Averaged over a full 24-hour period, the amount of incoming radiation varies with latitude and season as shown in Figure 7. Note that the figure combines the effect of the change in incidence angle with latitude and time of year and the number of hours of sunlight during the day. At the poles, during solstice, the earth is either exposed to sunlight over the entire (24-hours) day or is completely hidden from the Sun throughout the entire day. This is why the poles get no incoming radiation during their respective winter or more than the maximum radiation at the equator during their respective summer.
The Earth's surface reflects (that is, returns the radiation back to space in more or less the same spectrum) part of the solar energy. This is what makes the part of the Earth lit by the sun visible from space (Figure 8) in the same way that the moon and the other members of the solar system are visible to us, despite their lack of an inner source of visible radiation. The most obvious aspect of Figure 8 is the brightness of the Earth's cloud cover. A significant part of the Earth's reflectivity can be attributed to clouds (this is but one reason why they are so important in the Earth's climate). In climate texts the reflectivity of a planet is referred to as the albedo (that is, albedo = reflectivity) and is expressed as a fraction. The albedo of Earth depends on the geographical location, surface properties, and the weather (can you tell from Figure 7 which has higher albedo, the land or the ocean?). On the average however, the Earth's albedo is about 0.3. This fraction of incoming radiation is reflected back into space. The other 0.7 part of the incoming solar radiation is absorbed by our planet.
By absorbing the incoming solar radiation, the Earth warms up, like a black body (see radiative heat transfer) and its temperature rises. If the Earth would have had no atmosphere or ocean, as is the case for example on the moon, it would get very warm on the sunlit face of the planet and much colder than we experience presently, on the dark side (the little warmth on the dark side would come from the limited amount of heat stored in the ground from the previous daytime - this is, to some extent, what we experience in a cloud-free, land locked desert climate).
All heated objects must emit electromagnetic radiation, particularly so if they are surrounded by empty space. This radiation is referred to as outgoing. As long as the incoming radiative flux is larger than the outgoing, the radiated object will continue to warm, and its temperature will continue to increase. This in turn will result in an increase in the outgoing radiation (according to the Stefan-Boltzman law the outgoing radiation increases faster than the temperature). At some point the object will emit as much radiation as the amount incoming and a radiative equilibrium (or balance) will be reached. Using what we have learned about radiative heat transfer and some geometric calculation we can calculate the equilibrium temperature of an object if we know the amount of incoming energy. Here is how we do that in the case of a planet rotating around the Sun:
First let us denote the solar radiative flux at the top of the planets atmosphere by So (for solar constant) and the albedo of the planet by a. Then let us figure out the total amount of radiation absorbed by the planet. To overcome the difficulty posed by the fact that the planets are spherical and their surface tilts with respect to the incoming radiation, note that the amount distributed over the sphere is equal the amount that would be collected on the planets surface if it was a disk (with the same radius as the sphere), placed perpendicular to the sunlight. If the planet's radius is R the area of that disk is πR2. Thus:
heat absorbed by planet = (1 - a) πR2So
The total heat radiated from the planet is equal to the energy flux implied by its temperature, Te(from the Stefan-Boltzman law) times the entire surface of the planet or:
heat radiated from planet = (4πR2) σT4
In radiative balance we thus have:
(4πR2 ) σTe4 = (1 - a) πR2So
Solving this equation for temperature we obtain:
Te = [(1-Aa)So / 4σ] 1/4
We have added a subscript e to the temperature to emphasize that this would be the temperature at the surface of the planet if it had no atmosphere. It is referred to as the effective temperature of the planet. According to this calculation, the effective temperature of Earth is about 255 K (or -18 °C). With this temperature the Earth radiation will be centered on a wavelength of about 11 μm, well within the range of infrared (IR) radiation.
Because of the spectral properties of the Sun and Earth radiation we tend to refer to them as "shortwave" and "longwave" radiation, respectively.
The effective temperature of Earth is much lower than what we experience. Averaged over all seasons and the entire Earth, the surface temperature of our planet is about 288 K (or 15°C). This difference is in the effect of the heat absorbing components of our atmosphere. This effect is known as the greenhouse effect, referring to the farming practice of warming garden plots by covering them with a glass (or plastic) enclosure.
Here is how the greenhouse effect works: The Earth's atmosphere contains many trace (or minor) components (see Figure 9 for the composition of the atmosphere). While the major atmospheric components (Nitrogen and Oxygen) absorb little or no radiation, some of the minor components are effective absorbers (Figure 10). Particularly effective is water vapor, which absorb effectively in the IR wavelength range (Figure 10).
Because the atmosphere is almost transparent to sunlight, all that is absorbed at the surface results in warming and the emission of IR radiation; this radiation cannot freely escape into space because of absorption in the atmosphere by trace gases such as water vapor and carbon dioxide (CO2). These absorbing gases and their surrounding air warm up, emitting radiation downward, towards the Earth's surface, as well as upward, towards space. This effectively traps part of the IR radiation between ground and the lower 10 km of the atmosphere. This reduction in the efficiency of the Earth to lose heat causes the surface temperature to rise above the effective temperature calculated above (Te) until finally, enough heat is able to escape to space to balance the incoming solar radiation. The effect is analogous to that of a blanket that traps the body heat preventing it from escaping into the room and thus keeps us warm on cold nights.
All that the IR absorbing gases do is make it more difficult for heat to escape, they don't (and can't) stop the heat output, because half of their emission is directed upward towards space. The greenhouse effect forced the planet to raise its surface temperature until the amount of heat radiated from the top of the absorbing layer is equal to the solar radiation at the top of the atmosphere. It is at the top of the absorbing layer that the effective temperature is reached, while down at the surface of the Earth it is much warmer.

Cortisol Reducing Formula for Stress Reduction
and Weight Loss
Nature's Cortisol is a dietary supplement designed to reduce levels of the stress hormone, cortisol in the body. Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands as part of the fight-or-flight reaction to stress. Cortisol has an anti-inflammatory action and is associated with higher levels of anxiety and stress related problems like high blood pressure.
Cortisol promotes the synthesis of glucose from proteins in order to make more glucose available as fuel in response to stressful situations. This reduces lean muscle mass and increases blood sugar levels. Research has shown that cortisol increases the deposition of abdominal fat and increases cravings for food, especially carbohydrates (sugars). This helps to set up the vicious cycle of stress and overeating which creates more stress and more overeating, etc. By supporting a persons adrenal glands and lowering cortisol output, Nature's Cortisol can help to break this cycle.
The herbs and nutrients in Nature's Cortisol have an adaptagenic effect to reduce the output of stress hormones like cortisol from the adrenals. This blend helps to regulate blood sugar levels and has antioxidant activity to reduce tissue irritation and inflammation. Nature's Cortisol can be used to help reduce stress, regulate blood sugar levels and as an aid to weight loss.
Nature's Cortisol includes the following ingredients:

Established business opportunities with immediate growth potential are not around every corner. Here is one where the hard work of set-up and launch is not only done, but is already commercially self-sustaining. It's a business scenario waiting to be nurtured into the next level.
It all started with Pauleen Sullivan. Nicknamed the 'Palm Queen' by the International Palm Society and a lifelong collector of rare palms, Pauleen chose this sunny eastern flank of the island of Hawaii to establish a six-acre garden of rare palms from around the world. As these palms have matured, the garden has become an international resource.
Upon this slate, the current owner set his impressive energies to building a self-contained resort with just the right mix of seclusion and luxury to attract visitors from all corners of the globe.
Four bamboo guest houses were built (two, three-bedroom and two, one-bedroom). Each house was tastefully decorated in romantic and tropical themes.
Central to the complex, a saltwater swimming pool and a bamboo 'halau' was built for yoga, evening socials and invitational events. There is very smart infrastructure behind the public face of this tropical enterprise. A sophisticated, solar-powered electrical system, coupled with state-of-the-art battery technology, is fully integrated with super-efficient lighting and appliances throughout the complex.
Green waste from the palms is composted to make new soil. With a natural passion toward the efficient, ecologically sound and technologically advanced, the owner has already branded 'Kipuka' as an eco-savvy resort. The world-wide palm society network coupled with the owner's imaginative social networking has already garnered New York Times and Los Angeles Times praise for the business and has a set the stage, establishing Kipuka as unique destination for a hell-heeled and sophisticated clientele.
The resort has its own inherent growth potential by growing occupancy, a potential for rate increases, and there is room for additional guest houses. Area attractions, including Volcano National Park, live lava flows, Ahalanui Warm Ponds, and Kapoho Tide Pools, lend strong support to this business opportunity. In just one and a half years the business has surpassed the point of sustainability and a significant margin remains for additional growth.

What is Dispute Mediation?
A mediator will facilitate discussion and negotiations between two or more people who are in conflict. The Mediator must be independent and will remain neutral. The mediator does not make decisions for the parties but helps them to reach an agreement which is acceptable to both.
Family mediation helps separating or divorcing couples make decisions about the care of their children.
Inter-generational mediation or sibling mediation helps resolve discord between family members.
Mediation can also help repair friendships.
How can Dispute Mediation help?
Mediation offers an effective way of understanding and resolving disputes and on-going conflicts and reaching agreements in a way that is satisfactory for both sides and enables you to continue with an on-going relationship. As a mediator, I facilitate this process. The solutions and agreements come from those involved. Meetings are fairly informal so that you will feel as comfortable as possible. The presence of an independent mediator is reassuring for both sides, allowing you to safely express your points of view.
Additional information is available at www.glasgowindependentmediation.co.uk.
Things have improved as my 17 year old son has now spent a couple of nights with his dad, long may it continue. The 2 younger children are looking forward to getting 2 whole nights to stay with daddy. Happy kids make for a happy mum - thank you!

Can research help cops prevent crime?
Research seems to be the last place cops look for solutions. They appear to implement most new approaches without supportive research to back them up.
Having co-researched and co-authored (with Gerry Cleveland) the Police Training Officer program - first adopted in Reno and then nation-wide - I am sensitive to this argument. The PTO program (and its grown-up progeny, the Police Problem-Based Learning program) was fully funded by the COPS Office. They both were thoroughly researched and pilot tested prior to implementation. Along with Problem-Oriented Policing a few decades earlier, I believe this to be a rarity in the police world.
It is the same with crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED). CPTED was studied and evaluated many years ago by researchers. Studies exist today on its effectiveness and some progressive police agencies have adopted CPTED based on this.
But usually not.
Now there is a new movement called evidence-based policing that seeks to fix the disconnect between science and policing.
This week I chatted with Harvard's Malcolm Sparrow. He has just published a brilliant and provocative response to the Evidence-Based scholars in a paper called Governing Science.
This is a must-read for informed leaders. It is a must-read for social scientists too.
Here's one tasty tidbit:
"…the relationship proposed by proponents of evidence-based policing offers virtually no benefits for police. The best they can hope for is that the scientists they have invited in…will finally confirm what police thought they knew already: that an intervention or program the department had previously deployed did actually work. The downside risk for police is much greater."
The article explains why he says this and how he thinks it should work. Read it HERE.

While in Boston last month, I had the good fortune of meeting and briefly discussing with Dr. Sparrow this very topic. He clearly placed very little trust in the effectiveness of the Evidence-Based Policing Matrix tool which also happens to be utilized by the National Policing Improvement Agency of the United Kingdom (Sparrow's native country). Dr. Christopher Koper (who co-authored the matrix) also authored 'Just Enough Police Presence: Reducing Crime and Disorderly Behavior by Optimizing Patrol Time in Crime Hot Spots.' THIS is a strategy that seems to already be paying dividends in Milwaukee as we; like many other American police agencies; strive to become both more effective and efficient in these economically trying times. I wonder what Sparrow's thoughts are/would be on this particular strategy?ReplyDelete

No doubt EBP, like any other policing trends past or present, is prone to certain pitfalls if accepted without question. I suspect the attractiveness of it has a strong connection to choice and human nature. More choices actually makes choosing any particular one more difficult. The fewer the choices, the easier it is. EBP, like Consumer Reports, does all the research for us and appears to present us with a small list of "best buys." I can say that I haven't always been happy when I purchased a "best buy."ReplyDelete
I do think it's important, however, that when we implement crime reduction strategies, we take some effort to determine if it is effective, particularly in these difficult economic times. The public deserves to know that we are being good stewards of the resources they provide us. We really ought to be pushing partnerships with local universities to assist us in evaluation. We've been very pleased with our friends at Kansas State University. The future of EBP may lie in "going local."

I was recently asked by a researcher if I could prove the PTO program was producing better police officers. The words "control group" even popped up. On another occasion an internal Use of Force Analysis report was questioned because it involved low numbers which had not been subjected to rigorous statistical examination.ReplyDelete
In Mindsight, Dan Siegel pointed out that in certain circles one is expected to not speak (or even internally entertain a line of thinking) unless your words (or thoughts) can be backed with clear evidence. I am increasingly finding myself falling into the evidence driven camp within policing, but what a small world we are boxing ourselves into if all human experience is not allowed to exist prior to validation. Somewhere there has to be an acceptable middle ground between experience and evidence. I think Sparrow may have helped open the door to this pragmatic, yet information driven operations room for policing.

Thanks for the astute comments, Aaron, Tim and Josh.ReplyDelete
In his famous article, "Barking up the Wrong Branch" Harvard's famed sociologist Stanley Lieberson puts it this way: "the standard for what passes as scientific sociology is derived from classical physics…that is totally inappropriate for sociology. As a consequence, we pursue goals and use criteria for success that are harmful and counterproductive."
Nowhere is that more true than with evidence-based methods.
In short, examining the social world - of which police/crime studies are a small part - is not at all like an experimental pendulum measuring the rotation of the earth in a controlled laboratory! The methods that apply in the physics lab, experimental controls, hypothesis-testing, prediction, parameter estimation, are just window dressing for the real thing when it comes to the social world.
As Sparrow notes, at the end of the day that form of science may not really tell us more than we already know from "less rigorous" tests.
If we want to move forward, we need to keep our eyes on the prize.

Enjoying the dog days of summer
Summer is almost over in my part of the world. Kids in North Carolina (US) are headed back to school in one week. Our summer garden is peaking, and we haven't seen any more copperheads slithering up from the woods for a visit. Oh, you didn't know about our copperheads? No worries...JM slew them all with his trusty shovel.

Order booze from Deliveroo
If you've been using Deliveroo, and ordering food from your favourite restaurants, but with the added pleasure of not having to leave the house or deal with other humans, good news!
They're partnering with Majestic Wines, BrewDog and a number of other independent booze merchants, so you can order alcohol straight to your door, and not have to sit in a pub filled with people you hate.
Deliveroo customers will now be able to order wines from eight Majestic Wines shops across London, and from 20 BrewDogs nationally through the app.
Of course, you could just get a load of booze delivered with your shopping from a supermarket instead. That's entirely up to you.
Either way, it looks like Deliveroo are aiming for the Booze Ponce Market (there's nothing wrong with being a booze ponce, for the record), so you can order craft ales, cocktails, and the like, rather than 8 cans of Oranjeboom and a half bottle of Glen's vodka.
Or you can do both if you're feeling saucy.
Basically, this booze service will work in exactly the same way as the food service does.
Dan Warne, Managing director of UK & IE at Deliveroo said: "Majestic Wines and BrewDog are perfect launch partners for us offering great pairings for meals ordered on Deliveroo and by working with independent merchants like Clapton Craft and Humble Grape we're continuing to champion the UK's independent businesses as well."

1. How do you describe yourself? artist, author teacher
2. What is your creative process? Each piece I create begins in the pages of my sketchbook where I make several rough sketches of the imagery that I want to work with. Beginning with a small sketch gives me the freedom to explore combinations of the images and colors before cutting into any fabrics. My small sketches are enlarged into full size cartoons that allow me to adjust the scale of the images and then the actual construction of the piece in fabric begins.
3. Describe your studio space. My studio is on the third floor of my home. It's about 500 square feet - one side is my office and the other has my sewing machine, workstation, ironing station and all my supplies. I have a separate wet studio in the basement where I do all my fabric dyeing.
4. What's your signature style? Whimsical and bright! How long did it take you to find your style when you first started making art quilts? I started making quilts sometime around 2005 but it wasn't until 2011 that I made the first quilt in the style that I am now known for.
5. Are there artistic endeavors you are yet to do? I've got a list a mile long of things that I'd like to explore!
6. Do you keep a sketchbook and/or journal? Absolutely!
7. Being published is important to artists, so do you have any instructional dvd's, author of books, YouTube channel, have a website with other artists for collaborative projects?

9. Having your work in juried, invitationals, and solo shows is a great way to get your name out there. Where can people see your work?
Brush Art Gallery, Lowell MA
Houston International Quilt Festival, Houston TX
10. How many years have you had your work in d@8 exhibits, or is this your first time? 4
Special Memory about Yvonne Porcella. I had the pleasure of meeting her at Festival in Houston years ago and she was gracious and kind enough to chat with me for a bit once I got passed my star struck, tripping over my words rambling! She was a beautiful lady with a kind spirit and I and the rest of the art quilting community owe her a huge debt of gratitude for all that she's done to advance the validity of the art quilt medium and for founding the SAQA organization that provides so many artists all over the world with opportunities to carry the work she started forward.
