Circle of Friends
The Circle of Friends is the Parish arm of the support network involved in the all-round education of the child. While we maintain that the parents are the first and foremost educators of their child, particularly in their faith development, the Catholic School and the Parish Community have the privilege and responsibility of supporting the parents in their role as educators and nurturing the growing faith of the child. The Parish community's support is ongoing from the day of Baptism but it becomes more specific as the children prepare to become full members of the church family by receiving the Sacraments of Reconciliation, Confirmation and Eucharist.
Although the catechesis or religious instruction is carried out in school the children are invited to take part in our Parish Circle of Friends which is an informal class convened for a month or so prior to the reception of each sacrament.
In this class emphasis is put on their belonging to a particular faith community – namely the parish of St Jude's. They are encouraged to see their full membership of the church as being active members of the parish. They are introduced to members of the parish who talk to the children about their role in the community. Against this backdrop of parish membership the parish catechists re-emphasise the teaching carried out in school.
For further details about Circle of Friends contact Sister Patricia Cassidy at firstname.lastname@example.com

Meet on Monday evenings, check the weekly bulletin for exact time.

Feeling that weight loss is a hopeless case? Come and lose with St Jude!
It all began on 11 February 1858 at the Grotto of Massabielle in Lourdes, when a 'Lady dressed in white' appeared to Bernadette Soubirous for the first time. Seventeen apparitions followed during which Bernadette asked the Lady her name. "I am the Immaculate Conception" was her reply. From these words, the vision sealed the solemn messages she had entrusted to the girl.
Today over five million pilgrims visit the shrine of Lourdes each year to witness the living reality of Our Lady's requests for people to "Come in Procession" and wash in the 'Miraculous spring' which was uncovered by the young girl who was to be canonised Saint Bernadette in 1933.
St Jude's Lourdes Pilgrimage was started by parishioners in 1987, making their first pilgrimage in 1988. They have visited the shrine in Lourdes 19 times and have enabled nearly 1,000 pilgrims young and old, healthy and not so healthy to visit Our lady's shrine and take part in the various liturgies and celebrations that take place while in Lourdes. This has brought many blessing to the individuals and the parish as a whole.

Elizabeth Wong Again....New photos
More exclusive photos with emphasis on hairy privacies. CLICK HERE FOR MORE PHOTOS!
These are just photos of an old auntie sleeping on a sofa, having a good rest after a long hard day. But for many Malaysians, this is considered a immoral offence that warrant termination from office and maybe, even public caning and stoning to death. Anyway, that is also the reason why it appeared here.

Cardiff University Blackboard
Students and instructors using Cardiff University Learning Central can get the Blackboard Mobile Learn app for free. This will provide access to your modules and content on your mobile device. For more information on the features of the app, go to the Blackboard Mobile site. (Note: you can also connect your device to Cardiff University Wifi).
- Android App: (Download) or search for "Blackboard Mobile Learn" in the Google Play app on your device.
- Apple App: (Download), or search for "Blackboard Mobile Learn" in the iTunes Store app on your device.
Once you have the app installed, open it, search for "Cardiff University", tap to select and login with your University username and password.
Having used Blackboard Collaborate at another institution, it did not come as a total surprise that a number of students struggled to successfully access the sessions due to technical barriers, most of which were related to the infrastructure of Collaborate but compounded by other factors.
For example, Collaborate relies on Java to launch, and while the exact nature of problems varied, most students who had problems opening Collaborate were accessing from their workplace (local authorities across Wales) or from a work laptop, and restrictions and firewalls prevented many from either installing the Collaborate launcher or opening the necessary 'meeting.collab' file for entry into the room.
Nearly all of the students who accessed from the workplace needed the help of their local IT support team; in most cases this helped them resolve problems and get access but a few were still unable to access even with this help. Most students who accessed from home were able to do so without significant problems.
A number of students who had problems claimed to have accessed the Collaborate configuration room successfully beforehand as recommended; this suggests that the Collaborate configuration room might not be as useful as previously thought as a preparatory and diagnostic tool. It may in future be better to ask students to test their computer set-up within Learning Central, possibly using one of the default module rooms.
Running the sessions
The academic who ran the sessions managed to access Collaborate without issue from a number of locations and also was quickly able to grasp the interface and all the main functionality for running sessions. He was also very happy with how the sessions themselves went, with good levels of enthusiasm and engagement from students.
A number of students did not have headsets but still managed to engage well with the session using the text box. Those students who did have headsets mostly managed to set-up their audio and talk in the session without many problems. The student feedback about the sessions themselves was very positive; they appreciated the opportunity to engage in real-time with both their tutor and with fellow students.
The Collaborate sessions were a significant commitment in terms of time; overall, six sessions were facilitated, and although the sessions were scheduled to be an hour each the time commitment for each was closer to two hours, taking into account accessing early to help and welcome students and also running overtime due to late starts (or catching up with students who accessed late). It would have been possible to run fewer sessions but this would have affected levels of participation and, if resulting in larger numbers in each session, may have had an impact on the quality of engagement from students.
There was also a significant amount of time commitment from the project eLearning Officer, though this was overall less than the academic (dependant on scale of student access problems) and largely focused at the start of and prior to each session. This support requirement is crucial when starting to use Collaborate, and having more than one moderator is good practice within a session, particularly at the start. It is hoped that this support requirement may diminish somewhat as a cohort of students become more familiar with Collaborate.
Summary of lessons learned
- The vast majority of students did manage to successfully access Collaborate at some stage. A significant number of students accessed first time without any problems.
- There were a significant number of access problems, of varying severity. There were very few problems once students were inside the Collaborate session (e.g. connection issues, or audio problems).
- It is extremely important for students to check their set-up beforehand, particularly when accessing from a work setting. Ideally this should use a permanent Learning Central room rather than using the general collaborate configuration room.
- Students should be advised that they will need help of their local IT support team if accessing from work PCs or laptops.
- Students should be advised that they should attempt to access Collaborate in plenty of time – at least 15 minutes before the session starts, and for the first time they are using Collaborate half an hour is recommended.
- Students should contact the eLearning Team (and the academic) as soon as possible when having problems accessing Collaborate. For this purpose a 'Collaborate Access and Troubleshooting' discussion board should be created within the appropriate Learning Central module, which should be closely monitored prior to a session.
- 'Overflow' sessions for students who fail to engage or access should be taken into account when scheduling sessions.

We're looking for a new engagement ring. As much as we loved the company who made it, and their values, and the ring itself– we had many problems with it. After only two months, the emerald came loose; we sent it back and they re-set it. Two weeks later, it was loose again. They redesigned the setting, and sent back a new ring. Finally, the third ring broke– the prong that held the emerald in place sheared away from the shank.
The company was of course apologetic and totally ready to fix it again. But in the last eleven months since we've been engaged, it's been in the shop for two. As I told the company: "I just can't get a fourth ring from you, open it up, put it for a fourth time, and not worry that it will last until our wedding."
They felt bad, we feel bad, and they are sending us a refund. Which means: I have no engagement ring. I'm currently scouring online antique stores– we would love to "reuse" an older ring. Old rings are so romantic, and when I see them on trays in antique stores, I always feel sad that they aren't being worn daily and loved. An older ring would also go along with our green impulses.
For a morning, I thought I had the problem solved– when I was in high school, my parents gave me a beautiful topaz ring with a fairly large light blue stone. I thought, "Ooh– we could get an antique mounting and re-set my old topaz in it; that would be lovely." I went looking for the ring all in my vanity drawers. Finally, I remembered: the ring was stolen in a burglary when I was living in St. Louis. The burglars also took my grandmother's engagement ring– that was the major loss, and it still makes me feel bad.
For the time being, my left hand feels especially bare.

When it comes time for you to start losing weight, you may wonder where to begin, as there are so many things to consider when trying to put together plans and goals that work for you. The tips in this article can provide you with what you need to know to create a successful weight loss plan.
A great way to start losing weight is to start attending fitness classes at your gym. By attending classes such as yoga or pilates you'll be more motivated by all the people around you. The instructor dictates what the class does, so all you have to do is just follow along.
If you are looking for a diet that will work for you, try your local library. There are so many diets out there these days that it is difficult to know what will work for you. Instead of spending your money on book after book that you can't use, head to the library and check out a variety of different diets. Once you find something that works for you, you can go ahead and purchase the books.
When you want to have a snack or are eating a meal, make sure you sit at the table to eat. Sitting down to eat helps you avoid "mindless eating" while losing weight so you can avoid eating more than you planned. Eating at the table also helps you control portions.
When trying to lose weight it is best to only weigh yourself once a week at the most. If you obsess too much with the scale you could spoil your efforts. Weight goes up and down from one day to the next, or even between morning and night due to salt intake. Focus on your measurements or your clothes getting looser, rather than how far down the numbers are going.
A simple way to lose weight is by eating a salad before every dinner. Salads contain lots of fibre which will fill you up without providing you with excess calories to burn off. Try not to put extra dressing or cheese on the salad, since this will just add fat and calories which you are trying to avoid.
One vital tip for successful weight loss is to avoid drinks with high amounts of calories. Even though some fruit drinks can be good for you, some have high amounts of sugar and calories. The best thing you can drink is water. Most of your body is composed of water. Therefore, it makes sense that your body needs water, in order to operate effectively and efficiently.
In order to maintain your weight loss it is important to keep the new habits you learned while losing weight. If you increased your fruits and vegetables, stopped drinking soda, and started exercising, you will still need to do that. You cannot work hard to reach your goal and then expect to stay there without effort.
When trying to accomplish your weight loss goals, keep in mind that variety is the key. If you grow tired of eating the same kind of foods, you are more likely to cheat. Therefore, if you are tired of the same salad, do simple things such as adding a splash of lemon to add flavor. This adds variety that is not bad for you.
As stated earlier, it can be easy to turn to quick gimmicks and easy fixes for weight loss. However, the weight lost (if any at all) usually comes back, once you return to your usual habits. Follow the advice in this article to help you begin to lose the weight and keep it off.

Ah, our old friends Yeo Valley, or 'Yeo Valley family farm' as we must now call them. This story has always been true, but as recently as October 2010 I commented on the previous new design, heading into major brand/high impact/low emotion territory just as everyone else started bearing their authentic souls. Resistance was clearly futile, so now Yeo Valley will be wearing its heart on its sleeve too. A more subtle part of the design change is the playing down of 'organic' to a chatty 'by the way' claim, as this has become a fairly toxic word in the UK, meaning 'expensive'.
Takeout: a brave attempt to swim against the tide didn't work, showing the sheer power of the 'no factory' wing of the authentic trend we're in at the moment.

The rental market continues to grow and shows no signs of slowing down, according to local lettings agency William H Brown.
The agent said it is seeing nearly five tenants chase every rental property on the market across the UK and helped 19 per cent more tenants move last year.
It is urging landlords to take advantage of current high demand and asking prospective tenants to get in touch to secure the best properties on the market to let.
Boston lettings manager Nick Reynolds (pictured right) said: "The current climate in the residential sales market means that many more people are either having or choosing to rent.
"It's no surprise therefore that we are registering high numbers of tenants and seeing demand for rental properties outstripping supply.
"We deem ourselves the lettings experts – we are an experienced agency which prides itself on our high levels of service and expertise."
Nick said William H Brown can help in a number of ways including managing the day-to-day running of properties or helping expand property portfolios.
He urged people to get in touch for more information.

Our Children's Librarian Amanda O'Neal and one of our hard-working volunteers Bea Zirbel, have been working diligently on a "Facing Out" project in our Juvenile Non-Fiction Area.
Here is What That Means:
Instead of the books being organized by the usual Dewey Decimal system of numbers, and with the spines of the books showing on the shelf, we have the books organized with the faces of the books showing - Face Out - and with the books organized by topic.
Here are Before & After Photos showing the difference in how the books are displayed. The first photo is of the old spine-of-the-book showing way, and the second photo is of the new Face-Out method of displaying the books.
Our Winneconne Friends of the Library generously purchased the acrylic bins for the books to be newly displayed in. Please come to check out all of the changes in our Juvenile Non-Fiction section!

Neuropeptide Receptors - Hirschmann/Nicolaou/Smith Collaboration (1987-2011)
In collaboration with Professor Ralph Hirschmann (also a member of this department) we have designed and synthesized glucopyransides and found them to be mimics of the cyclic hexapeptide L-363,301 in that they bind to the SRIF receptor, mimicking the β-turn of the latter. We also discovered that these two compounds bind also structurally diverse proteins which we attribute to the radial symmetry features of the glucose scaffold.
Subsequent studies have produced several noteworthy findings: (1) the glycoside inhibits GRF-induced growth hormone (GH) release by cultured rat anterior pituitary cells with an IC50 of 3 micromolar (i.e. 1b is recognized at this endocrine receptor and it provides a sufficiently good fit to activate the receptor); (2) N-acetylation of the primary amino group generated an amide which was highly selective for the substance P (SP) receptor, with an IC50 of 60 nM. That such minor chemical modification should produce such a dramatic switch in biological profile was a pleasing but unexpected result. It is worth noting that SRIF receptors, as well as the SP, and the β2-adrenergic receptors, utilize G-protein-mediated signal transduction, suggesting that the binding of the glucosides to these three receptors may involve similar interactions within the conserved hydrophobic domains of the receptors.
Subsequently, analog synthesis generated an analog with an IC50 at the human SRIF receptor subtype 4 of 53 nM and another congener with an IC50 of 3 nM at the NK1 receptor. The glycosides have a binding profile at the SRIF receptor similar to analogously modified peptides. This demonstrates that the indole ethyl and 6-amino pentyl sidechains mimic the Trp and Lys residues, respectively, of the β-turn of L-363,301.
Unexpectedly a des-indole analog in which the C1 Trp-mimicking sidechain was replaced by a C1 methoxyl proved to be an SRIF agonist, a result which we see as but one example of the fact that the β-D-glucose scaffold possesses radial symmetry which confers other noteworthy properties on this scaffold. That the glucoside, but not L-363,301, binds the NK-1 receptor is also explained by the presence of radial symmetry in the former, but not in the c-hexapeptide. Interestingly, replacement of Lys9 of either L-363,301 or of D-Trp8-SRIF by p-F-Phe is required to change peptidal SRIF agonists into substance P antagonists. It is a consequence of the radial symmetry of the sugar scaffold that the same glucoside binds the SRIF receptor via the C-1 and C-6 sidechains but the NK-1 receptor via the C-1 and C-2 sidechains. Conversely, L-363,301 and its p-F-Phe9 analog both bind their respective receptors (SRIF and SP, respectively) via their i + 1 and i + 2 positions. In the course of this work we discovered that both indole and benzyl side chains, but not heterocycle side chains bind the Trp8 binding pocket. In collaboration with Professor E.R. Thornton we explained these results through correlation with the electrostatic potential of the aromatic rings.
Recently, we proposed that the small molecule binding domain of GPCRs ideally accommodates the sidechain projections of β-turns or other similarly oriented and exposed functionalities. From this perspective, the scaffolds become the counterpart to the privileged nature of their receptors.

To the Editor:
I am writing to express support for the re-election of Lydia Blume as state representative for District 3 (coastal York). With a background in environmental studies and business, Lydia in her two terms has sponsored or co-sponsored legislation addressing sea level change, ocean acidification, commercial fisheries licensing, expanding broadband, and veterans issues. She established and chaired the bipartisan Coastal Caucus focusing on issues important to all coastal Maine communities. Locally, she spoke out and supported citizen efforts regarding the York Toll Plaza relocation.
I know Lydia Blume. I have worked with her, and I have argued with her. She is smart, and she is tenacious. She advocates well for what she believes in. She is curious, she's a good listener who hears all sides, and she is fair.
Lydia Blume is a pragmatist. She finds solutions to problems, and she gets people to work together. At a time when many of us would like our government to be more open and responsive, Lydia will continue to represent all the interests of our community well, and she'll be getting my vote. She deserves yours as well.

Happy Wednesday everybody!
I made this thank-you card for a friend of ours who always went the extra mile to help
our boys get their Eagle in Scouting. We just wanted him to know how much he is
I started with a plain white card. I then used papers from We R Memory Keepers and
My Minds Eye to give it style. I used some jute twine to give it flair in a manly way!
The sentiments are from K & Co's Boy Scout line.
I hope you enjoy making one and thanks for sharing your day with me!

If you can't keep track of who you know, you don't really know anybody. That's the problem Steve Greenwood set out to solve with Brewster. Named for the street Steve grew up on, the app works across all your social media platforms to efficiently organize your millions of contacts, effectively making them Brewster's millions. We partnered up with WD to see how their My Cloud personal cloud storage device might streamline the existence of a guy who's made it his mission to streamline everyone else's.
Steve started working on Brewster before he even realized it. Back in graduate school, he'd make spreadsheets organizing all his contacts from then-new services like Facebook, LinkedIn, and something called "Gmail".
He did this for five years without telling anybody because he thought he might be crazy, but then he found out other people were doing the same thing. This is the office where he and his team write the code that will hopefully make all those spreadsheets so unnecessary, continuing to fill them out really would make you crazy.
That's what these fine young gentlemen are staring at: mountains of code designed to add new functionality to the app. All of that code (or photos, music, videos... any file really) could be stored on a My Cloud, which can handle up to four terabytes of data, but's small enough to sit on a desk, maybe right next to that bottle of Poland Spring.
This is a wooden ping pong table, kind of like the ones the early settlers used to play on. Beyond that is a visual representation of the average modern American's digital relationships. To manage those, Brewster:
- Merges contacts from multiple services together
- Lets you receive your contacts' latest phone numbers, addresses, etc, once they make an update (i.e., you don't have to do jack)
- Accesses all contacts right from your phone's address book, via mail, messages, phone, and contact apps
My Cloud does the same for your digital life, centralizing everything from 1s and 0s to videos. Just as importantly, it makes your files securely accessible by any device, from anywhere. So when Steve makes one of his frequent trips to San Francisco, he can pull up anything he needs on whatever he's carrying using WD's free apps. That makes two apps that could keep Steve's entire life in order.
(Also, did you know that despite not being native flora, there are palm trees all over SF? Now you do.)
Instead of building a conference room to hold meetings about the new features Brewster is poised to roll out any day now (really, it could be happening right this second), Steve opted for a standalone cabin, which ran about 1/5th the cost of drywall. While a personal cloud storage device that completely eliminates your need for "the cloud" might sound like a pricy extravagance, it's actually more cabin than drywall (in other words, My Cloud is surprisingly inexpensive).
Sometimes Steve uses the cabin to Skype with foreign users about their experience. Because this is the 2010s, you can become pretty good friends with people over Skype. If Steve decided to visit them in person, My Cloud could provide him not just access to his content, but lightning fast access thanks to Gigabit Ethernet and a dual-core processor.
In conclusion: when it comes to the future of social media contact organization -- and the future of digital storage -- the writing's on the wall.

Chintha dharthi yadi choti hai, sara aasman hai udne ke liye(Why
worry if the earth is small, you have the whole sky to fly)
-- What a wonderful quote and this coming from a 66 year old
trekker Mr. Tiwari (more about him later) in Seobag base camp.
May be it was the surrounding mountains and the flowing Beas,
which made the difference. After the jog Tek Chand took us
through some exercises (which I realized later, was quite
On coming back to the camp, we had to clean up
the campsite and have our breakfast. (This continued even
in the subsequent camps).
Later at around 10 O'clock we gather for acclimatization.
We choose one of us Mr. Suresh as the group leader and Guru
as co-leader. All of us with 2 woolen blanket each in our
backpack start to climb along with our camp leader Ranade.
After about ˝ an hour of steady climb, everybody is huffing
and puffing, and as if as a reward for our effort we reach
a huge waterfall. We take rest and after sometime we all sit
in a circle and start introducing ourselves. We had among
us Bank Of Maharashtra employees (some as old as 50 years)
and a few from Delhi. After the initial introduction Ranade
starts briefing us about Youth Hostel, its activities in general
and Chandrakhani Pass trek in particular. As we were listening
Gautham nudges at me and shows a beautiful bird with long
tail, which I had seen only in Salim Ali's "The Book
Of Indian Birds". It was Paradise flycatcher, not single
but a pair. I was thrilled and before I get over the excitement
of seeing it for the first time we see hordes of juveniles
and adult pairs flying around. I say to myself, my day is
made already!! . Coming back to Ranade I find him quite a
gentleman. A school teacher with a passion to trek, his humility
touched me. He warned us how as we go higher, the camp leaders,
for the fact that they had to stay for weeks with not much
company, might be bit jittery. After listening to other advices
we start our climb down to the base camp.
At the base camp we get to know that we have
the rest of the day free and in case we have any last minute
purchasing to do we can get it done from Kullu. After lunch
we prepare our list and give it to Jitesh and Abhishek.
That is when we hear about one gentleman a 66
year old who had done Har ki Dhun trek and now had just arrived
from Chandrakhani and as if this was not enough, was getting
ready for Sar Pass in the next few days (all 11-13 day treks).
We had to meet him. After lunch while coming back to the tent
I saw Guru, Gautham, Bala all talking to an elderly person.
Presuming that he was Mr. Tiwari, I also approached him. First
thing that struck me was his humility. Here is a guy who has
been trekking for more than 40 years now and he says that
he is like everybody else, learning from every trek that he
does. As I think about it I realize it is indeed true, that
is what trekking is all about. We lose track of time as we
listen to his experiences and before we know, it is dinnertime.
After dinner there is campfire (a rather boring affair according
to me) and then we get back to our tents for a good night's
As we finish our lunch rain starts pouring. Thinking that
our after session of river rafting has gone for a toss we
all go into our tents to have some cozy sleep. But our camp
co-leader Jagjith Singh has other ideas and we soon hear the
whistle (by now we are getting used to the whistles J and
getting a bit irritated too). We reluctantly get up and put
on our shoes. We come to know now that river crossing is not
across the river but a gorge! . Any way we start climbing
up in rain and reach a place where the gorge is wide enough
to get a feel of river crossing. After some of us complete
the crossing rain starts pouring more heavily and Tek Chand
decides it is enough as the rains will make the ropes hard
and make it riskier to use for crossing. Climbing down in
rain, as we find, is easier said than done. Even with the
hunter shoes on, with the mud sticking to the sole, you tend
to slip. One wrong step and you go straight down the hill.
We make a slow progress down and on reaching the camp we are
greeted with hot tea. Rest of the day we spend in packing
for the actual trek. Ranade tells us, and quite rightly, to
carry only one pair of additional clothing and sweater, gloves
for cold. Even after stingily cutting down on all unnecessary
things my backpack seems a bit heavy, what with the photographic
paraphernalia. Evening we lodge things, which we are not carrying
on the trek, in a room near the camp. We have our dinner and
go to sleep, excited and dreaming about the next day when
we start the real trek.

Board Approves Changes to School Start & End Times
March 2011
At its March 2 meeting, the school board approved a proposal prompted by the work of Project Parkway to lengthen the elementary school day by 20 minutes and to establish new school starting/ending times for the 2011-12 school year.
Over the past two months, the feasibility of a number of scheduling options was evaluated and two plans were published for review by parents and staff. In making their decision on the final proposal, the board reviewed all of the considerations and rationale, obtained input from transportation and other district staff and weighed all of the responses to the alternatives presented. The new schedule as approved by the board is now posted on the Parkway website.

EGX Rezzed has sadly been and gone, and here I sit on an balmy Spring morning writing about it way too late in comparison to when I attended. Last weekend I found myself in the beautiful Tobacco Dock in London for the event that brings together all the best and brightest in the indie gaming scene, with a large variety of upcoming and recently released gems to try out, along with my good friend EnotheStrife (whom you might recognise as my partner on my Return To Yharnam streams of Bloodborne). Not only that but the big guns were also in attendance with Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft showing off the future indie offerings for their respective consoles. I sampled a large cross section of different games, across multiple genres, but how were the games? Continue reading "Event Report | EGX Rezzed, Tobacco Dock [14/04/18]"

Preview | Hands-On With The Siege And The Sandfox (EGX Rezzed)
Stumbling around EGX Rezzed, I chanced upon a large variety of games of a myriad of genres, but I found myself drawn to a particular aesthetic and found a game I hadn't expected. Created by a small team of 5 known as Cardboard Sword with development beginning in 2015, The Siege and The Sandfox is, for the lack of a better term, a 2D stealth adventure. I'd like to point out before I start that the demo I played is unfinished, so some of the things I say about it might change before release, but how is the game in its current state and are there any things I found out about The Siege and the Sandfox that may change it in the future?

This event took place in London, and I entered the Street Fighter V, BlazBlue: Centralfiction, and Smash Bros. for Wii U tournaments. I've had an interesting time since my last tournament entry for Revolution 2017, including changing mains in both Street Fighter V (to Ed, from Balrog) and BlazBlue: Centralfiction (dropping Celica to a pocket in favour of Jubei), but I entered tournaments anyway despite not feeling 100% ready for them.

I believe Common Core was demonized before people really understood the difference between the concept and the separate testing imposed. The intention was to ensure a level playing field for all kids. Really all Common Core did was implement a common set of standards across the United States in math and language arts. Standards that have always been in place, they've just varied from state to state. Common Core was a non-partisan, collaborative effort by state governors, education leaders, teachers, and parents with an interest in education policy.
The standards were developed mainly by teachers from across the US. The idea behind it is that every child regardless of zip code would have a basic understanding of the given standards at each grade level. In our evermore transient society, it's a no-brainer. The video below explains it better and faster than I ever could.
Some things Common Core did and didn't do- It did encourage stagnant and tenured teachers to update their curriculum. It didn't mandate that teachers teach anything differently or change their teaching style. A teacher can still teach multiplication the same way s/he always did. Also, it does allow for adjustments to the standards. Ohio is making minor adjustments based on feedback from the classroom.
Please don't let the images of bizarre testing questions and stories of "Common Core homework" or "Common Core Tests" confuse you. There are no such things. The various state testing tools are not mandated by the Common Core initiative. They are a separate, state implemented exam that vary from state to state. They are each states gauge to determine if the standards have been met. Ohio used PARCC and AIR. It's testing we've always done. The problem is/was that people confused the Common Core basis for the test as it being a "Common Core test" and the entire concept was bastardized from there.
I still believe that Common Core is a good thing. There is nothing wrong with raising the bar. There is nothing wrong with having reasonable expectations of age appropriate benchmarks. I appreciate the concept of allowing a second grader from Mississippi the ability to enter a Cuyahoga Falls classroom and know that s/he possesses the skills to make a seamless transition.

About this blog, which I can write but not read...
Just to explain something: I can post and edit my posts, obviously, but I can not view this actual page because blogspot and blogger are both ip blocked in the PRC. It is a good reality check. That is why I have not been responding to any of the comments. Leah and Dave Gomberg were kind enough to forward me everything up there so I am up to date. I enjoy hearing from all of you and will definitely respond in a post when appropriate. I have now adjusted the settings so posts are automatically forwarded to me, including all these weird random posts, which I guess are some form of SPAM. We'll see if they continue.

the grey/brown cat with green eyes is amazing picture. lots of detail on the fur and great depth of field. trying to take similar pic myself last couple of weeks, but my cat look more like the one on the pic above that. feeding her expensive food and still she looks like just came back from a year in afghanistan...
^ hahaha
maybe teach her some meditation, that could keep her still.
bustak, some time ago you mentioned that u got the 18-55 f2.8 lens for your camera. any interesting photos from this lens? how does it compare to the fast primes you been using on your canon sofar?
^ let's put it this way, I only have 1 prime lens & I'm selling it!
The Tamron 2.8 is a superb all around lens. 98% of the pictures taken in this thread were from that lens.
The only criticism I have is it's loud when it focuses.
what are you replacing it with, B?
I meant that I didn't use the prime lens, my Canon 28mm f/1.8 USM. I mainly use the Tamron f/2.8.
The Canon prime lens is fixed lens at 28mm, the Tamron is 17-50mm (before the x1.6 conversion).
saw this little boy on the way home today:
here are a few I took a couple of days ago [at] Wat Umong:
I have a few more I can post, will do so later.
Great to have you and your photos back! I have been wondering where you had got off to. I look forward to enjoying you talented eye for framing a scene.
thanks a lot guys!
taken the past couple of days.
a pencil sharpener/dangerous power tool:
i keep staring at your photos and keep wondering why i like them. i'd say its your composition, it just works and works great for most of your shots. you make great use of off centre focal point placement, but somehow you make it work even if your subject is dead centre. i cant explain that, magic maybe?
we know his secret (he told us)
he takes 1 million pics and shows us the ones that work
way to go, nice pics Bustak
Tried to post a picture for the first time since I started reading TD and couldn't .Upon further reading of the fine print it says" may not post attachments"
Just curious as to why...or am I just too techno-stupid to figure out how to do it?
Cheers all
Great thread. Awesome pictures.

RALEIGH, N.C. – The Shaw University women's volleyball team fell to St. Andrews University, 3-0 in a non-conference match on Wednesday evening inside C.C. Spaulding Gymnasium. The Knights swept the Lady Bears in three sets, 25-20, 25-10 and 33-31.
With the loss, Shaw drops to 0-5 on the season, while St. Andrews improves to 2-4 on the year.
The Lady Bears were edged by the Knights 36-32 in kills and a hitting percentage of .173 compared to SU's .86. Shaw was also topped in service aces 9-2 and turned in a 9-6 serving error ratio comparison.
Sophomore Kelly Murphy (Mukwonago, WI) led Shaw with eight kills and 11 digs, while freshman Aisja Jones (Red Oak, TX) added six kills and freshman Amari Fletcher (Phoenix, AZ) tallied five.
Sophomore Christine Ngeve (Greensboro, NC) and freshman Alex Masnica (Chicago, IL) topped the Lady Bears with 13 assist apiece. Masnica also registered eight digs on the night.
SAU jumped out to a 6-3 lead in the opening set before the Lady Bears rallied to tie the set at 6-6. St. Andrews then pushed its lead out to 16-11 before closing out the set 25-20. The Knights dominated the second stanza, jumping out to leads of 12-6 and 19-7 before winning the second set in strong fashion 25-10.
Set three would see multiple runs filled with exciting rallies that would bring the Shaw faithful's in C.C. Spaulding Gymnasium to their feet. Shaw emerged to leads of 5-2 and 8-3 before forcing the Knights to take a timeout. The timeout would prove effective as St. Andrews would trim the Lady Bears lead to 11-8 before tying the set at 14-14.

The teams went point for point in the final moments of the contest before St. Andrews orchestrated a three-point run to win the final set, 33-31.

Contracting in the IT sector28th November 2016
The IT sector is becoming increasingly synonymous with contracting in the UK. All companies need IT support to stay current, but rather than hiring a full-time team of experts, it makes better financial sense for organisations to draft in the people who have the specific skills necessary to work on projects as they arise.
Outsourcing IT support in this way is becoming much more common, both on a retainer and a project basis. Contracting is big business for IT specialists, and gives them the opportunity to tackle a variety of projects, big and small, and it they do a good job, to end up as the preferred source of IT expertise for the clients they serve.
Why companies hire IT contractors
Hiring a full-time IT professional might seem necessary, but once an organisation considers factors like a full-time competitive salary, training costs, recruitment costs, tax, insurance, desk space, holiday pay and all the other costs associated with employee on boarding, contractors can seem like a much more sensible solution.
The speed at which the IT sector moves makes it particularly suited to contracting, as keeping staff up-to-date with the latest developments in both hardware and software is painfully expensive and time consuming.
IT issues are so varied and complex, that it's often best to go straight to an expert as and when they arise. As all companies and organisations become more reliant on IT solutions for all facets of their business, contracting in the sector will continue to be a lucrative career.
Finding work as an IT contractor
Finding work as an IT contractor is a similar discipline to finding work in any other sector – who you know is absolutely key to your success. Get your name out there and attend networking events in person throughout your catchment area. All organisations are constantly in need of expert IT services, and you should be front-of-mind among the people who run projects and can make hiring decisions.
Maintaining a strong LinkedIn profile and sharing your knowledge on the latest IT developments online is also beneficial, but the personal touch is what is most likely to land you substantial contracts in IT.
IT contracting is hugely varied – from tech support, project managers and IT securities experts, who often work in-house, to designers and programmers who can often work on a remote and freelance basis. Some IT contractors take on multiple projects in the same time period. Time and project management skills are key, and keeping clients informed of your capacity and ability to deliver can help you to manage expectations and build a good reputation in the industry.
Sometimes outsourcing part of a project to a sub-contractor or an offshore team can release some of your capacity, providing flexibility and allowing you to take on more projects. However, it is very important to select high quality, proven sub-contractors you are confident to work with, to ensure high-quality output and avoid jeopardising the all-important client relationship.
iContract will help you find and manage your future contract. Register today and take advantage of our extensive resources and services tailored for your contracting lifestyle.

…Mighty God, (Isaiah 9:6)
We're almost there. The "Sleep in Heavenly Peace" part.
So why are you stressed?
As we home in on Christmas, all sorts of emotions get stirred up. Yeah, we'd like to say we are focused strictly on the birth of our Savior, but the fact is this can be a really crazy time. Perhaps you are rushing to wrap—or get—or think of—those last gifts. Maybe you are frantically trying to get ready to travel—tickets, luggage, ohnowhatdowedowiththedogwhilewe'regone. Could be you're receiving guests into your nightmare of a house—good luck with that.
Or you're moving.
Or someone you love is sick.
Or you're broke.
Or things are just falling apart.
Given all that, I feel pretty spiffy that you've taken the time to read this. Since you have, make the most of the moment. Let the words soak in:
He is Mighty God.
Read it again. Go on.
Now, say it out loud.
This King we serve, this Lord we love, this Savior we celebrate is fully capable of meeting the challenges of your day, be they mundane or monstrous.
And he will.
Because you are his beloved.
Because you are his, Beloved.
Happy Thursday
