Coffea arabica is a species of Coffea originally indigenous to the mountains of the southwestern highlands of Ethiopia. It is also known as the "coffee shrub of Arabia", "mountain coffee" or "arabica coffee". Coffea arabica is believed to be the first species of coffee to be cultivated, being grown in southwest Ethiopia for well over 1,000 years.
It is said to produce better tasting coffee than the other major commercially grown coffee species, Coffea canephora (robusta), because robusta cherries contain twice as much caffeine as arabica. Caffeine itself has a bitter taste, making robusta more bitter. C. arabicacontains less caffeine than any other commercially cultivated species of coffee.
Wild plants grow to between 9 and 12 m (29 and 39 ft) tall, and have an open branching system; the leaves are opposite, simple elliptic-ovate to oblong, 612 cm (2.44.8 in) long and 48 cm (1.63.2 in) broad, glossy dark green. The flowers are white, 1015 mm in diameter and grow in axillary clusters. The seeds are contained in a drupe (though commonly called a "cherry"; the plural form is simply "cherry"used only when referring to the fruit of C. arabicawhen referring to the actual cherry fruit, the appropriate plural is "cherries") 1015 mm in diameter, maturing bright red to purple and typically contains two seeds (the coffee seeds).

2019 Whitewater Raft Guide Training Course
Raft Guide Training begins May 13, 2019
Raft Guide Training!
Acquire the skills necessary to successfully navigate a raft full of passengers through exciting class IV whitewater and get paid to do it! No whitewater experience is necessary as we will teach you commercial river guiding from the ground up. We will equip you with experience, knowledge, and official certification to begin working as a professional whitewater river guide anywhere in the state of Colorado! Although we are happy to train individuals who have no intention of employment, this course is designed for those who will begin employment with Liquid Descent once the training is finished.
What should I expect in guide training with Liquid Descent
At Liquid Descent, our guide training program is designed for those who intend to work as guides at Liquid Descent. The state of Colorado requires 50 hours of on river training to be a certified river guide. However, we require at least 100 hours of on river training in addition to pool sessions and classroom lessons. We intend to hire every guide we train but participation in guide training does not guarantee employment. Trainees must demonstrate the necessary skills to be a competent river guide before beginning employment. We make sure all trainees are given every opportunity to succeed. River guiding is a skill and we understand individuals acquire skills at different speeds. Our trainers are willing to do whatever it takes to assist you achieving your whitewater goals. Whether that is extra coaching one on one or after hours training sessions, we are here for you to help you succeed! We will start the morning of May 14th and train Monday through Friday through the first week in June. Weekends will also be available for those who wish to fire it up and finish the training quicker. Typically, trainees complete the training and are ready to begin work during the first week of June.
Training is rigorous and physically challenging. We expect our guides to have the knowledge and experience as well as the physical conditioning and ability to be true professionals. On river training will take place at a variety of locations including the Colorado River and Clear Creek. We will also spend time in the pool and the classroom learning about the many aspects of running rivers including but not limited to:
- Anatomy and characteristics of rivers "River Sense" . Reading whitewater, recognizing hazards, characteristics, currents, eddies, rapids etc.
- Rope work – Knots, mechanical advantage, rescue systems, benefits and hazards
- Equipment – Proper use, maintenance, and rigging of paddles, boats, and gear
- Strokes & Commands – The techniques, uses and effectiveness of all the strokes and commands you would utilize as a commercial river guide.
- Rescue – Self rescue, rescuing from shore, rescuing from other boats, throw bags, technical rope systems, multiple scenarios
- Safety – Safety is a game of inches, and we will show you how to think critically and mitigate as much risk as possible. Many mistakes in safety are made before the raft ever leaves the shore. We will teach you how to view commercial rafting trips through a very focused lens and learn to identify and mitigate hazards that others may miss.
- Expression – River guiding is a form of expression just like painting, snowboarding, and playing guitar. Remember, as a guide you are a performer and entertainer to your guests. Getting customers down the river is just one aspect of the river trip, style points matter as guides receive gratuity. We will teach you the non river aspects of guiding: public speaking, personality, humor, and confidence.
- Guiding – having the technical ability to navigate rivers is the most important aspect of being a guide. We teach you all the tips and tricks we've learned through years of commercial guiding. Angles, commands, customer placement, boat selection, and pod integrity. Importantly, we will teach you how to mold your inexperienced customers into a powerful paddling raft engine!
Why should I train to be a guide with Liquid Descent
The individuals who instruct the course are some of the most experienced guides is the state of Colorado. All instructors have thousands of river miles and have rafted rivers all over the world. They are also hilarious and fun to be around! Yes, the training program is challenging but it is super fun! The camaraderie and bonding you will experience with your fellow trainees and the LD crew is unparalleled. Great times and great people.
The majority of Trips that Liquid Descent provides are aggressive and adventurous in nature.This training course is designed to prepare you for that. We run some of the most exciting commercial sections in the country including Gore Canyon. As a trainee and first year guide, you will get to experience all of it.
Cost of the training program is $450.00 This includes every aspect of training and all the river gear you will need. Trainees will be allowed to camp during training. Trainees who become employees will have 1/2 of their training fee returned upon completion of the 1st season of employment and the rest refunded upon completion of their 2nd season. CPR and first Aid certifications are required before employment can begin. Training begins May 14th, 2018 at 9am at our shop in Idaho Springs, CO. River guiding is one of the most exciting and rewarding occupations available. We are looking for active folks who are motivated and have adventurous spirits. If thats describes you than come and experience the summer of a lifetime!

As posted on Bassmaster.com ESCANABA, Mich. — Virginia's Jacob Powroznik, 36, is the 2014 Bassmaster Rookie of the Year. Though a veteran of other professional bass circuits, Powroznik was new to the Bassmaster Elite Series and was in contention for bass fishing's most prestigious prize — Toyota Bassmaster Angler of the Year — until the final day of competition Monday in the Toyota Bassmaster Angler of the Year Championship.
Powroznik posted top 32 finishes in every Elite event but one in 2014 and became just the sixth rookie to win an Elite tournament when he outpaced the field at Toledo Bend Reservoir in May. The win earned him a six-figure payday and his first Bassmaster Classic berth.
"That's the Super Bowl of Bass Fishing," he said. "I've worked for sponsors at the Classic Expo, but never qualified to fish it. Sitting in that arena and watching all those people lit a fire under me. I was like, 'Hey, I don't want to be in that crowd anymore. I want to be walking across that stage.'"
Powroznik defeated one of the toughest rookie fields in history to claim ROY, and he's well aware of the accomplishment and statement it makes about his talents.
"It means a lot. It's something I'll probably remember my whole life."
Powroznik was awarded the ROY trophy during the final weigh-in of the Angler of the Year Championship on Bays de Noc in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Although he caught more pounds of bass in the weather-shortened event than anyone else, Powroznik finished third in the AOY race behind Greg Hackney and Todd Faircloth.
His bonus for third place in the Toyota Bassmaster AOY standings was $38,500, which boosted his winnings on the Bassmaster Elite Series circuit to $204,000 for his rookie year. See complete standings below.

The IBPS common written examination for PO/MT jobs conducted recently has turned out to be termed a nightmare for applicants with the difficulty level taking most by surprise.To know the effect of it on cutoff score, one has to wait until September for the results.But the
common exam for jobs in rural banks
(RRB) are to take place before that.
There are 82 regional rural banks (gramin banks) in India & to apply for their recruitments, qualifying in the IBPS RRB CWE is must.The selection process that precedes, follows the hiring route of PO,clerk & specialist officers.
This post will take you through With the exams to be conducted on September 2 (for officers) & Sep 9 (office assistants) there is enough time for applicants to prepare.
If you have appeared for PO or clerk CWE`s, then preparing for this may not be tough as the structure of both are similar.Take a look at the image showing their composition:
They are pretty much the same except for the difference in no. of questions and marks.
To note:
While unanswered questions are not given any marks, 0.25 as negative mark will be reduced for each wrong answer in both exams.
Although the exam is for scale I, II (generalist & specialist), III, we shall look at the the Officer (scale I) cadre in depth.
With a
2 hrs 30 mins duration & 200 objective type
questions, the outline is as follows
Answers for each question in Reasoning & Quantitative aptitude carries 1.25 marks
Computer knowledge section has 20 questions, each worth 0.5 marks
There is no descriptive test
All sections can be attended either in english or hindi medium
The RRB office assistants test pattern is exactly same as clerical exam in commercial banks.
You will have to answer 200 objective questions within
2 hrs 30 mins & the maximum marks shall be 200
.What are the sections?See below:
2 hrs 30 mins & the maximum marks shall be 200
.What are the sections?See below:
1.25 marks is awarded for each correct answer in reasoning & numerical ability
General awareness, language test & computer paper carry 1,1 and 0.5 marks respectively.
Now this is an important addition to the list of instructions.Since gramin banks are located only within a particular state, employees are required to have proficiency in the local language.
As per the govt.`s official language act, states are categorized as
Group A, B & C
According to it, IBPS says:
Candidates from region A & B can choose to attend either English or Hindi language paper
Those from region C will have to appear in english language test only.
We hope this article would have explained the pattern of regional rural banks common examinations in detail.

Assay Information
Gene Information
This gene encodes a small essential subunit of RNA polymerase III the polymerase responsible for synthesizing transfer and small ribosomal RNAs in eukaryotes. The carboxy-terminal domain of this subunit shares a high degree of sequence similarity to the carboxy-terminal domain of an RNA polymerase II elongation factor. This similarity in sequence is supported by functional studies showing that this subunit is required for proper pausing and termination during transcription. Pseudogenes of this gene are found on chromosomes 13 and 17.[provided by RefSeq Jul 2010]

Today I started making London's Halloween costume. I'm super-excited. To best understand my excitement you might benefit from some backstory.
Growing up, Halloween wasn't really a big thing. We didn't have a lot of money and so we didn't have cool store-bought costumes. One year I remember Bobby and I dressing up like Batman. We wore trash bag capes and yellow paper belts and masks and black sweatpants. We thought we looked really cool.
Another year, my dad made me an owl costume completely out of paper.That actually was cool.
Most of the time, though, we just scrounged around the house—combining Mammaw's scarves and ties from Dad's closet. I remember being a boy one year and just wearing Bobby's clothes. Another year I threw a scarf around my head, borrowed my mom's earrings and wore makeup—I was a gypsy.
For me, Halloween meant being creative and using what you had.
Now that I have kids, I think those principles are worth holding on to. I've added another to the list, though. What I've come to love about Halloween as an adult is the opportunity it offers for people to escape from reality. On just one day a year, I can be whoever I want. Anybody. Anything. Nothing is off-limits.
Because I think this is so important, I started asking London what she wanted to be for Halloween months ago. I knew when I asked it that London had no idea what I was talking about, but at the same time I knew that whatever she said would be something she loved. I determined that whatever she liked most she could be. I gave a list of suggestions in line with her current obsessions: a bee, Ming Ming from the Wonder Pets, a dog, or a duck. Her choice? An apple.
So, today I went about transforming London into a giant apple. Wish me luck!

One of the automotive sector's most well-known brands is purchasing a family-owned Ottawa business as it looks to expand its footprint outside the U.S.
Valvoline, which sells motor oil and provides automotive services, says it's buying Ottawa-based Oil Changers. The local firm has 31 franchised quick-lube centres, which also provide vehicle maintenance and emission testing services, in Ontario that will be rebranded as Great Canadian Oil Change.
Financial terms of the transaction, which is expected to close in the first quarter of 2019, were not disclosed.
Daniel Marin founded the Ottawa company in 1996 through his purchase of Lube Factory Inc., which at the time consisted of eight franchises. Over the years, the company added nearly two dozen additional franchises that extended its network across southern and eastern Ontario, including five locations in Ottawa.
In January 2009, Marin sold the company to his three children: Thomas, Julia and Jonathon, according to the company's website.
Valvoline says they plan to remain in the quick lube business as franchisees.
The acquisition gives the Kentucky-based firm more than 1,250 corporately owned and franchised quick-lube centres across Canada and the United States.

AIPAC´s Impact. US-Congress Guarantees Israel unlimited Military Support for "Self Defence Attack" on Iran: Key to WWIII in Netanyahu´s Hand. Russian Foreign Minister: Iran Stops Uranium Enrichment!
Print Post
LATEST: Time World 18 June 2013: Russia's foreign minister says Iran is willing to halt its 20-percent enrichment of uranium, not quoting his source. He calls for sanctions to be lifted after this sensational development!
Yesterday Rowhani said Iran would not halt uranium enrichment. This would not necessarily mean any drawdown in enrichment capabilities; the labs could concentrate on lower-grade fuel. abcnews 18 June confirms as does DEBKafile 18 June 2013, too.
Comment: Iran must feel extraordinarily threatened right now. Why?
For the past 5-6 years the dispute on Iran´s nuclear program has been going on with threats of military attacks and sanctions led by the US: Time and again, there have "certain" rumours that Iran would be attacked shortly - e.g. here. But it never happened, because the powers that be did not yet find the time ripe for the conclusion of their disgusting play with the globe (see Albert Pike WWIII). Now another dangerous development is taking place: The US Congress has been forced by the US-Israel Lobby -in particular the AIPAC and here- which rules the US Congress and the president as well via i.a. the Council on Foreign Relations - also via its Jewish Wall Street bankers - and to give Israel unlimited military support - incl. intervention - in case of Israel taking to "self-defence" attack on Iran - e.g. after a false flag operation.
This means: It is entirely up to Israel to start WWIII as soon as Pres. Obama has signed into law the Bill Text 113th Congress (2013-2014) S.RES.65.ATS of the US Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives´ defense authorization bill - both passed - see below!
Sec. 1 (8) of the Bill Text 113th Congress (2013-2014) S.RES.65.ATS and here: " If the Government of Israel is compelled to take military action in legitimate self defense against Iran's nuclear weapons program, the United States Government should stand with Israel and provide, in accordance with United States law and the constitutional responsibility of Congress to authorize the use of military force, diplomatic, military, and economic support to the Government of Israel in its defence of its territory, people, and existence."
Below, former NATO Supreme in Command in Europe, Wesley Clarke, declares that in 2007 he was told of a Bush gvt. ment plan to take down 7 countries within 5 years - incl. Syria and Iran.
This resolution was unanimously passed by the US Senate with 99-0 votes on 22 may 2013
But, SEC. 2. RULES OF CONSTRUCTION, says "Nothing in this resolution shall be construed as an authorization for the use of force or a declaration of war."
Comment: The meaning of this must be: At first, only material support in the war. However, the used US bases would immediately be attacked by the enemy in case of war.
The HAARETZ 15 June 2013 and The Jewish Telegraph 14 June 2013: The U.S. House of Representatives passed a defense authorization bill ith a nearly similar text.
That report would identify "all aerial refueling platforms, bunker-buster munitions, and other capabilities and maintenance by Israel of a robust independent capability to remove existential security threats, including nuclear and ballistic missile facilities in Iran, and defend its vital national interests."
The language must survive the reconciliation process with the Senate and then be signed by the president in order to become law. The entire act passed Friday in a 315-108 vote.
Who is behind this is obvious
The Jewish Telegraph 26 Febr. 2013: The agenda of next week's annual AIPAC policy conference in Washington will focus on the Congress enacting legislation that would …… facilitate a U.S. green light should Israel decide to strike Iran. Should the measures being considered by the Senate and the House of Representatives pass, it would constitute the most explicit congressional sanction for military action against Iran's suspected nuclear weapons program.
Now, Pres Obama eyes the chance of making Iran a "partner" - provided Iran gives up her nuclear bomb program.
AP-HAARETZ 17 June 2013: The U.S. State Department said Monday that while the Obama adminstration was open to new nuclear talks with Iran, it would not make any new offers as concession to its relatively moderate president-elect (totally misunderstood description of Muslim priest who is committed to the murderous Koran).
Press Release, The White House 15 June 2013: I.a.: It is our hope that the Iranian government will heed the will of the Iranian people and make responsible choices that create a better future for all Iranians. The United States remains ready to engage the Iranian government directly in order to reach a diplomatic solution that will fully address the international community's concerns about Iran's nuclear program.
Stephen Lendman 17 June 2013 interprets "responsible choices" as meaning Iran´s willingness to bow to the commands of the US!
Now will Iran´s New President, Hassan Rouhani give up Iran´s nuclear program? No - for he does not have the say - although he promises moderation of tone
The Guardian 17 June 2013: Hassan Rouhani at first news conference said he would not support halting Iran's uranium enrichment. He also sidestepped the issue of Iran's close alliance with President Bashar al-Assad.
Iran's president does not have authority to set major policies such as the direction of the nuclear programme or relations with the west. All such decisions rest with the ruling clerics and the powerful Revolutionary Guard, which have so far appeared to embrace Rouhani. He will serve as Iran's main international envoy and is almost certain to present a different tone than his combative predecessor, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
"The first step will be showing greater transparency. "The second step is promoting mutual confidence, he said.
Rouhani´s Curriculum Vitae of is impressive
Stephen Lendman 17 June 2013 lists all the many titles of Rouhani. I.a.: Rohani represents the Supreme Leader in the Supreme National Security Council. He's an Expediency Discernment Council and Assembly of Experts member. He's President of the Expediency Council's Center for Strategic Research. He has headed Iran's Supreme Defense Council and had many other military top leader posts. And he is a scientist. Iranians celebrated his victory .
Obama failed to congratulate Rohani. Israel's no different. Netanyahu said: "We won't fool ourselves, (and) the international community shouldn't be tempted into wishful thinking and weaken the pressure on Iran regarding their nuclear program. "Iran will be tested by its deeds: If it continues with its nuclear program it must be stopped by any means possible."

Trudi Perkins
January 19, 2016
Every month in our UCCI newsletter, we feature one of the extraordinary educators we have worked with at the UCCI Institutes and in the UCCI Teacher Exchange. We started this feature so that we could have a way of publicly showcasing how creative, innovative, and smart California teachers are. We archive every issue of the Teacher Spotlight here, on the UCCI website, at our Teacher Spotlight page.
This month the spotlight is on Trudi Perkins, English Teacher, Augustus F. Hawkins High School
We chatted with Trudi about her current role at Augustus F. Hawkins High School and her non-profit educational scholarship foundation...
What do you do, and why?
As a teacher you take on many different roles from moment to moment. However, I think that as an educator, one of the most important things that I do is to recognize the need to consistently try and find ways of motivating students toward wanting to learn. I realized early in my teaching career that you cannot force someone to learn; the desire and motivation must be intrinsic. With this in mind, it is always important to me to find learning tools that support a pedagogical focus that works well in a highly interactive classroom environment. I try to find ways to build student autonomy into almost all of my lessons, which helps to empower them as learners and gives them a greater appreciation for lesson aspects that present a rigorous exposure to the Language Arts and CTE skills. Keeping on top of it all requires quite an investment of time outside of the classroom, and often, personal expense, but I do it because my students deserve the best chances at active engagement with academics. Hopefully, their experiences in my class will translate into skills that help to make them successful in their future careers, regardless of whether or not they follow a game design pathway.
How long have you been teaching, and how did you decide to become a teacher?
I've been an English teacher with the Los Angeles Unified School District for ten years, teaching at both middle school and high school levels. This is my third year teaching at Augustus F. Hawkins High School in the Critical Design and Gaming School (C:\DAGS), located in South Los Angeles. For me teaching was less of a decision and more of what I would call having all of the pieces fall into place. I had been working in the title and escrow industry, when the real estate bubble burst. Unfortunately, I was a casualty of the downsizing that occurred across the real estate industry, and needed to find a new job fast. A friend reminded me that several years earlier, though just trying to be supportive of another friend who needed to take the test, I had taken and passed the CBEST; having done so made me eligible to become a substitute teacher. I had to search for the results of the test because when I had initially received them, I gave them no thought and shoved them into a drawer only to forget about them. My mother was a teacher, as were several others in my family, so I had always said that I would never be a teacher. I learned that you should never say never, because once I got into the classroom and experienced what it meant to be a teacher, there was no looking back. I knew I'd found the profession and the calling that I was meant to fulfill. I was once told that in order to find your purpose in life you should think about what it is that you could do every day even if you didn't get paid for it. For me that is reading and writing. I believe that is one reason why I enjoy being an English teacher so much. I'm a writer at heart, and being able to combine my love for words with my interest in computers and my natural desire to help others learn fits me just perfectly.
Prior to your UCCI Institute participation, had you done any integration of CTE and academics?
My experience with technology in education started about three years into my teaching career, and was pretty much me simply experimenting and trying out different online applications that I would come across, basically, looking for a variety of ways that I could bring more technology into my classroom. I had a laptop cart in my classroom, but the one thing I did not want to do was simply have my students use the computers as word-processing tools. I wanted to be able to introduce them to ways that technology is used in the business environment, and in the academic world, and to really give them a chance to see that presentation was important to the quality of their work. Having had positive experiences with the use of technology in class and the desire to learn more, I sought out colleges that offered degrees in the use of educational technology. I enrolled at Full Sail University, which offers an online program for Master of Science in Education Media Design and Technology, and once I received that degree I began looking at different opportunities within the field of education that would give me a chance to use my newly gained skills and knowledge. That's what gave me the confidence to apply to work at the Critical Design and Gaming School.
You teach English courses integrated with game design, and you were on a team that created one of those courses. What was the learning curve like for you in terms of collaborating to develop and then to teach these courses?
I teach a UCCI developed 10th grade ELA course, "GameCraft: English 10 with Game Development", and a 9th grade English course "Writing Games for Social Change", which is a course that I helped to develop through the UCCI Institute in 2014. One of the things that I really appreciated about the process of creating the course was that it required participants to develop their own collaborative processes. By determining our collaborative methods as a team, all participants could feel as if they were truly stakeholders in the outcome of the finished product. In terms of a learning curve, coming from the Critical Design and Gaming School, our normal practices school-wide are collaborative and teacher-driven. At Hawkins High School, there is continual collaboration, sharing of thoughts, ideas and practices, so the Institute's collaborative practice was sort of a natural way of working for me.
What do your students think of the English/game design classes?
My students enjoy their time in this class because they tend to have a lot of fun with the assignments. They're very excited about the fact that they get to play with the games while they're learning. Many days, my classroom is a beautiful cacophony amidst controlled chaos! Teams of students are working together, developing ideas, turning concepts into creations; someone else is looking for index cards to make game pieces, a pair of students are storyboarding and debating over the details. Others may be using one of the online tools to document their work or track the completion of tasks. Students often remark that they appreciate being able to work at their own pace, instead of feeling the need to keep up with others. They express that this format allows them to relax and put their best efforts into their work. Because the design process is iterative, students are able to build resilience, and are becoming more comfortable with the idea that failure is simply an opportunity to learn from and correct our mistakes, and then try it again.
Recently, one of my students expressed his thoughts about the course. As usual, I was bouncing from table to table checking on progress, listening to idea proposals, and answering questions, when he called out to me from across the room. With a huge smile on his face says, "Hey, Ms. Perkins, I just love this class!" I responded with, "That's great, because you know what? I just love this class, too!" I remember feeling thankful for the reminder of why I do this job. I do it every day with the hope of giving more students the opportunity to see how much they can enjoy learning, and connect that learning to an understanding of how it can impact their future.
What have you learned from teaching in a school focused on providing students with the skills and content knowledge to become game designers?
Working in a school such as the Critical Design and Gaming School at Augustus F. Hawkins H.S., whose entire program focuses on game design and game design theories to teach core academic skills has taught me to look at games through a different lens. It has helped me to recognize that games have a much greater impact on society than I had understood in the past. Working here has actually changed my entire teaching practice, and the way that I think about the methods of presentation within my lessons. I think the greatest thing I've learned from teaching in a game design school is how important it is for students to learn how to use critical thinking skills. When I'm developing my lesson plans and compiling the components of the lesson, critical thinking is one of the key elements that I check for first. By remaining focused on the incorporation of thought processes, I can better ensure that the learning activities within the lessons give my students an opportunity to demonstrate what they understand- to actually do and create something, rather than simply ingesting information.
One of the things I appreciate most about working in C:\DAGS is that there is so much creativity and knowledge among our staff, that there is never a shortage of ideas, collaborators, and impromptu brainstorming sessions! Working in a school that is closely connected through Linked Learning with industry partners from the game design and entertainment fields, I've had a chance to see how important the development of critical thinking and design skills are for our students, and for their future. Game design teaches students how to work in teams, to share responsibility, and to be courageous in their exploration of knowledge. Using game design principles in their work helps them to understand the importance of developing strong comprehension, writing and speaking skills. It helps them to know why these skills will be beneficial to them whether their lives head in the direction of higher education or into the workforce. I think this course is important for our students, because in going from being consumers of games to creators of games, they are presented with options for their future, which they may not have seen were it not for a learning environment like the Critical Design and Gaming School. Most importantly, I've learned how especially important it is for us to continue our work at C:\DAGS because our students, here in South L.A., represent the population of workers who are the least represented within the gaming industry workforce.
Do you have any favorite online resources for teaching English and/or game design?
English Central is one of my favorite resources for building reading, speaking and listening skills, as well as vocabulary development. It's a website that has thousands of very short video clips, suitable for all levels, on a wide variety of subjects. As the students watch the videos the text is transcribed and played on the screen as the narrator speaks. Learners can hover their mouse over a word and the definition will be displayed, if they click on the word, the word is spoken so that student gets a clear and correct pronunciation of the word. There is also a feature in which students can record themselves reading the text aloud, and English central scores their performance based on pronunciation.
As far as game tools, one site that I've experimented with, and found to be a great way to add gamification to my class, is Classcraft. This online website allows students to complete tasks as individuals, or teams, and presents them with a variety of challenges that can impact their player health points either positively or negatively, there are opportunities to use their points to help save a team member from "falling in battle". It has leader boards and is easy to use for both teacher and student. My students enjoyed the spontaneity that the game allowed me to introduce into the class.
We'd love to hear about any non-academic interests/experiences/hobbies you have, or perhaps related to academics but not necessarily to your current role.
Since I am currently a student in the EdD program at USC, there isn't much time for anything right now, except for academics. Additionally, I help to run a non-profit educational scholarship foundation (the Evelyn E. Perkins Scholarship Foundation), which my sisters and I started ten years ago as a way to honor the memory of our mother. However, when I do have a little time for relaxation and fun, there are lots of things that I enjoy doing outside of work. First and foremost would be writing short stories, poetry, and I've even got the beginnings of a couple of novels awaiting my attention. I also enjoy cooking and trying out new recipes; having dinner parties or "just because" get-togethers with friends, where we all try out new recipes that we've created. I like traveling when I can, bike riding, listening to music, and can also get into anything creative such as painting, arts and crafts. Oh yeah, there's also that rickety dog house that I built. The one neither of my dogs will use. My construction skills could be better, but at least I tried. Maybe one day I'll try it again. I'm resilient. I'm a teacher!

Beautiful post Anne!
Anne, thank you for stating this so beautifully! ITA with everything you said. Yes, life in PV will never be the same, and neither will be my lunch hour! Whoever said it is better to have loved and lost.......... heck, he sure knew what he was talking about! I am SO very grateful to have known Zach, to have had him as a part of my daily life for the past six and a half years! This week, the pain may feel like it is unbearable, but the joy I had from watching Zach, and will continue to derive from watching my Zach DVDs, is immeasurable! Zach Slater is the most complete character, the most beautiful (and those smoldering looks don't hurt the eyes either ) character I have ever watched on screen! I STILL maintain my belief that Zach Slater is NOT a fictional character, LOL, and it's all because of the most amazing, most wonderfully talented Mr. Kaye, the master of his art, who brought Zach to life for us, made him so real for us!

One of the first things lenders ask you before prequalifying you for a loan is how much of a down payment you can make.
If you're not selling another piece of property before taking out the new loan, or online loans, you might not have down payment money.
While aspiring home buyers usually start saving up for a down payment before shopping around for a loan prequalification, people looking for car loans and other types of direct consumer loans may not have as much preparation before that prequel.
Although it's possible to get a second loan to cover the down payment, doing so might also disqualify you from the loan you wanted to get in the first place.
And while there are down payment grant programs, they're only for mortgages. And the same is true about low or no down payment loan programs — they're not available for auto loans and other direct consumer loans.
So here are tips on how to save up the money for a down payment on one's first loan of any kind.
Prioritize Budgeting
Budgeting will help you realize where you might cut expenses so that you might reallocate money toward savings. Go through it more than once looking for spending you might reasonably trim — in fact, do this monthly, reviewing how well you stuck to the plan and where you might improve.
To help yourself stick to your plan you might want to begin participating in a savings challenge focused on setting aside money on a regular basis.
Another great way to make your budget stick is to set up a separate savings account for the purpose. Ask your bank to set up an automated deposit of cash from your checking account into your savings account at least once a month, but ideally on every payday.
More Yield
Speaking of savings accounts, look for one that pays a higher interest rate than what you're currently earning on your existing accounts. Even if it means going to another financial institution, you'll still be able to make automatic deposits into the new one.
Consider opening a money market account for this — but before you do, read all the fine print to make sure there aren't any hidden fees.
Pay Raise
If you've been at your job for a while, ask for a raise. Although it can seem daunting, don't let yourself be intimidated out of asking. Instead of going in cold, prepare a statement in advance, starting by writing it out and then rehearsing aloud. Don't ask until you have spiel perfectly polished and wait for a time when your boss is in a good mood.
To prepare that statement, write out a list of your accomplishments, and research any kind of statistics about the going rate for people with your skills and experience.
You could also throw in data about how hard it might be for your company to have to replace you given current demand for someone with your qualifications (assuming that's true for your line of work). Then organize what you plan to say so that you make the most compelling points first and make efficient use of time.
If at first, you don't succeed at getting a raise, try asking for the money in the form of a bonus. If you already receive a bonus, try negotiating for a higher one. Then make a point of depositing the entire bonus in your high-interest paying account. Any other time you receive a lump sum — such as back pay or unused vacation — deposit the whole thing as well.
Look for More Work
If all else fails, start looking for a higher paying gig. With the exception of a few sectors, the economy is strong enough that you should be able to find something that pays better.
As long as you're looking for higher-paying work, you might also want to get a second job, at least for the short term. Look for opportunities that won't conflict with your full-time job schedule and that also won't cut into the time you would otherwise spend with loved ones.
Ideally, you want to find a second gig where you can create your own schedule and do something you love doing, so you don't get burned out or end up losing your first job because of it.
Down Payment Money
If you're finding it difficult to get the money together for a down payment, perhaps you might want to think twice about whether this is the best time for you to buy. You can always wait until your circumstances change.
Readers, how have you gotten the money together for your first down payment?

Also, this service would be of special interest for pharmaceutical companies in obtaining bioproducts in general (i.e. willow-Acetyl Salicylic Acid, yew-Taxol, Maritime Pine-Pycnogenol and other active ingredients), and chemical companies interested in obtaining resins and other derivatives.

It also fits into the current trend towards the use of proecological technologies in industry. The resulting nanoparticles can be used in many industries, but the biggest potential lies in the agrochemical industry.
Research & Technology Organization
UNIVERSIDAD DE ALICANTE posted this:Biological control of pests: breeding protocol for Sphaerophoria rueppellii for use in biological control of aphidsMembers of CIBIO Research Institute, led by Professor Maria Angeles Marcos Garcia, head of the Associated Unit to CSIC, have developed a method to raise the dipterans predator Sphaerophoria rueppellii. This insect is known for its efficiency and high specificity predatory sirphid being more suitable as biological control agent against agricultural pests from aphids in a Mediterranean climate crops. The use of this natural enemy for biological control of pests will reduce pesticide use in both agricultural crops and in urban gardens. Have been optimized environmental conditions for breeding, such as diet (both immature and adult stages) to ensure a higher reproductive potential and higher rates of survival. The group is looking for companies interested in acquiring the technology for commercial exploitation. Innovative aspects 1- The only species of industrially produced sirphid (Episyphus balteatus) does not effectively control aphid pests in Mediterranean cultures, this is why the selection of another species of sirphid to act as a viable alternative in the field Mediterranean was needed. The novelty of this specie is that and in most cases of biological control, using species that are commercially available, or not part of the fauna, in this case, we have managed to breed the species in field trials, proved to have the greatest potential for control. 2- This is the first time that this predator specie is bred in the laboratory and maintain continuously during successive generations breeding in significant amounts from individuals. 3- Due to the invention has been developed by a consolidated research group, it will be applied a Quality Control (under the rules of the International Organisation for Biological and Integrated Control), to ensure the viability and product quality

ISLAMABAD: The joint opposition in the National Assembly staged a walkout from the National Assembly after Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's speech over Panama leaks, Samaa reported.
In a brief speech in the NA, Opposition leader Syed Khurshid Shah expressed resentment over Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's speech for not answering the seven questions already put forth by the opposition parties.
"The explanation given by the prime minister has raised 70 more questions," Shah said.
He left the house saying: "I would not waste time of the assembly after not receiving the answers".
NA Speaker Ayaz Sadiq asked Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Imran Khan to address the lower house of the parliament. The PTI chief refused to speak and staged walkout with his fellow opposition members.
Also read: Opposition puts forth seven questions for PM
The opposition had raised seven questions for the prime minister last week.
Following are the questions raised by the opposition:
- Is this true that PM's children have shares in Ittefaq Sugar Mills and Chaudhry Sugar Mills? And have they filed tax returns on these?
- Have they declared their income particularly from offshore companies?
- What are the names of the offshore companies owned by the PM or his family?
- What is the total number of these companies, bank accounts and the worth of that property?

What my mother told me:
Your great-grandmother moved her five children into a little village to get away from the in-laws who didn't like her. She had always been good at making traditional the herbal medicines, jamu. She would go from house-to-house making special concoctions to treat the people in her village. People found her medicine effective and word spread.
I'm jotting down a family story every day over the month of March for #b03, click here to catch up on the stories I've shared so far.

Distributed energy resources (DER) are power generation and storage technologies (such as solar photovoltaics, wind turbines, or fuel cells) located at a user's location to supply electricity. A microgrid is a localized grouping of electricity sources and loads that operate connected to and synchronous with the traditional centralized grid (macrogrid), but can disconnect and function autonomously as physical and/or economic conditions dictate.
ETA microgrids researchers study customer adoption patterns of microgrid technology and microgrid controllers. Central to this work is the free, Berkeley Lab-developed Distributed Energy Resources Customer Adoption Model (DER-CAM), a tool that can be used to output microgrid investment and dispatch results that minimize costs or emissions. It can be used for microgrid adoption, policy analyses, and microgrid controller design.
ETA works worldwide with partners in business, academia, government, and the military to evaluate DER and microgrid design and performance, and to identify and implement best practices for a variety of applications.

Podcast 002: SaaS Talk
In this episode, Robert and I talk about Software as a Service, or "Saas" as it is often called. This software delivery method gets a lot of attention lately, but is this really anything new?
Saas today could be called an evolution from the old days of Application Service Providers, or ASPs. In the ASP model, companies rent out IT infrastructure, both hardware and enterprise software. The biggest benefits of ASP seen by most companies is usually the ability to expense the infrastructure and hosting – they're not buying a bunch of hardware and network pipes, paying for the maintenance, etc – and getting stuff that's probably not a core competency (like all the resources needed to maintain that hardware) off the books.
But I think it could also be said that Saas grew up out of simpler forms – the early web forms, cgi scripts and databases that appeared in the earliest days of the web. As a web developer in that period, I was building these kinds of very simple things – we didn't think about them as "applications" or "software" at the time - that were automating basic processes. But really, it was the same basic components. HTML presentation, server side processing and a database to store and retrieve information.
So instead of taking an on premise application and putting it on a remote server, we're talking about building application-level functionality into a web site. Along the way, we're evolving it up and taking advantage of the advances in web technologies (java, css, javascript, ajax, etc). The real differentiator is that first S – the Software, not really model of delivery.
The common theme is offloading your hardware and infrastructure costs. An ASP will maintain the equipment, the network pipes, really everything that makes the software run. Beyond that, the ASPs would offer varying levels of service (for a price) that might include implementation or upgrades.
Whereas with CRM On Demand, we're delivering a multi-tenant application – and we're providing it as a subscription. It's built from the ground up to be web delivered – not something a lot of enterprise apps would claim.
And that may not seem very significant, but it is. Now we're talking about sharing resources, sharing a database, sharing the overall codebase.
What are the top things a company should know before going Saas?
The vendor relationship is far more important than with packaged aps. You can buy software off the shelf or from a reseller or from the maker and you end up with a bunch of CDs in a box, a stack of manuals, etc. The vendor has done their job. Not so with Saas. Viewing the vendor as your partner and learning to work effectively with them is key.
To give you an idea of why you need to take this new vendor relationship very, very seriously, these are a few of the items that are no longer under your control
1. The vendor determines when the application goes down for maintenance.
All corporate IT systems have maintenance periods, but when your system is a multi-tenant environment running critical applications for hundreds or thousands of customers, the saas provider is going to institute a standard plan – usually in the form of an SLA. Got a last minute need for the system on Saturday morning? Don't count on getting the vendor to change the window.
2. The vendor drives the technology upgrade curve
Feel your CRM application is missing a critical feature? It's up to the vendor to decide when and if that feature is important and when or if it will be deployed. Not that your voice isn't heard – it's just got a lot of company!
3. What is the response time to outages?
Be familiar with the vendor's commitment to recovery times when something goes wrong. Generally there should be some up-time guarantee, but again, if we're taling about a fairly minor component failure, you are trusting the vendor to share your priorities.
So, the question is, do you trust the new vendor with all of these responsibilities? Keep in mind that your needs and desires will be balanced against hundreds of other companies.
The good news is that CRM On Demand and other Saas offerings are managed extremely well. Probably a lot better than most companies could do internally. And while you may have to wait for that specialized feature, I can tell you that they do listen and weigh customer requests.
The overall message here is that you need to look at the vendor as a partner. Partner. They aren't going away, so think about the relationship you are forming and do your homework to ensure you know how best to work with them for the next, oh, forever.
Saas applications are different.
In the current saas environment, applications are built differently than packaged apps. They have to be to realize the efficiencies that make the model profitable. They are engineered to be faster to implement, to have applicability to a broad market. In the case of CRM On Demand, it is built around CRM best practices – pre-determined business processes supported by a core entity model. Understand what is there and use it effectively.
Hosted infrastructure means you don't lose sleep worrying about a hard drive failure. But it also means there are going to be both soft and hard limits on data volumes and transactional bandwidth. And if you start to approach these limits, there are limited options for testing.
For example, you may only be allowed, under contract, to load so much overall data. Further, the bandwidth you consume may be capped. The former can usually be negotiated, but the later may run into hard limits on the number of simultaneous transactions, particularly in areas like web services. Limits are put in place to protect all the tenants, so know what they are and plan for them in your development.
IT and Saas
You've outsourced almost everything IT does, hardware maintenance, software development, etc.? So send 'em all home, right?
How about access to legacy data? How about data governance and program management expertise? You can't leave IT completely out of the picture here.
We have some customers that approached CRM On Demand without any involvement from IT. The application lends itself to putting the business needs first – the technology is abstracted – and this is generally a good thing. But when it's done outside of the broader IT strategy, then you start to see conflict.
IT possesses the knowledge and skills to ensure that whatever the business is doing will conform to corporate standards and play nice down the road when it's time to plug them all into one happy family. Mixing metaphors a bit.
Suffice it to say that IT should indeed be evaluating their role in a Saas world – 'cause it's not going away. But neither should they be heading for the door. It's more important that ever to have the skills to realize a business applications strategy in a heterogeneous environment.
Saas and Implementation
It's not only built differently, you need to change your thinking on how it's implemented. More interaction with business owners than IT means you need to learn how to talk to them. This seems trivial, but it's important to understand that the business folks aren't going to speak techno jargon, so how do you translate their needs into a configuration?
Speaking of configuration – you really need to know the hard and soft limitations of the application before you finalize requirements. It's too easy for a business owner to dream up a requirement that will cripple the system or be impossible to configure or cost a lot more in web service development costs. That discussion needs to be had before configuration even starts.
Data governance becomes really central – what data do we need? How much? How often will it be refreshed? In SaaS this is a finite equation and you have to balance resources accordingly.
Iterative Configuration – The great thing about SaaS is that you can build a screen and show it to people very quickly. Take advantage of that. Release the application in small but rapid steps.
And speaking of iterative configuration – that puts a different emphasis on post launch support. Continuous improvement implies a much more hands-on approach for the entire lifecycle of the application. You can't just launch it and throw it over the wall to the users.
Testing and Validation is different – You don't have the same tools, so you need to be very aware of where testing may be needed and how it's going to be executed.
Saas Economics
Is this a good model financially for the customer? Generally, the answer is yes. CRM On Demand, like most other saas apps, has far lower upfront costs than comparable packaged software. The subscription model, in theory, allows you to pay as you go and allow you to walk away anytime. In reality almost all vendors, Oracle included, deal in annual contracts, where you're paying for x users for the first n years up front. And while you can certainly choose to end, or not renew, a contract, you can still anticipate switching costs (getting your data, swapping integrations and re-configuring a replacement.)
Economically it typically works out that saas is a better deal for the first few years. Some studies put it at 2-3, some as many as 5 years out. After that, it could be argued that you are paying more than would have for packaged apps. But that gets fuzzy since it may not capture the true cost of upgrades – remember, Oracle does all the upgrading for you.
Also, these costs are expenses, not capital investments. So the accounting treatment alone may be more desirable to some companies that don't want to treat a software application as an asset that has to be depreciated over time.
Is it good for the vendors? Oracle and others wouldn't be in it if it wasn't profitable, but the model relies on efficient delivery of the service and a stable, growing subscriber base.
There's a lot of fixed cost there. As a vendor you've got to have all the machines, pipes and staff in place before even one customer goes live. So that first customer is sure to be a loss! Vendors have a huge incentive, therefore, to run an efficient operation, continually grow your subscriber base and keep customers on the system for a long time, The general rule is that a customer isn't profitable until they've been on the system for 2-3 years.
Who should get Saas-y?
Sorry, that was really bad.
A happy and successful Saas customer is one that understands what they have, what the limits are, actively partners with the vendor, and embraces the iterative approach of deployment we mentioned earlier.
The one thing we can say is that every organization, from smallest to largest, is a candidate. Every IT, CIO, CTO needs to ask if the next application they are looking to implement or upgrade could be a Saas solution.
Not all will be – for strategic or technical reasons – but Saas has to be at the table.
Episode Wrap-up
It's really been an amazing journey. I started working at UpShot in 2002 – before the term Saas was in popular use. At that time the market was really in SMB and the objections were all about security and integration. The applications were simplistic with just a handful of core functions.
Now we've got companies like GE and Fidelity using Saas solutions. Objections over security have largely been overcome with the entrance big players like Oracle into the market.
And integration isn't the barrier it used to be, especially as we see more implementers entering the space and offerings like Cast Iron making it a bit easier.
Saas still has a lot of room to run – from the back office to vertical apps, to full support for cloud integration. I firmly believe we're still in the infant – well, maybe toddler- stage of Saas. Can't wait to see what it looks like as an adolescent.

(JNS.org) Four Israelis soldiers were killed and several other people were wounded on Monday when a Hamas mortar struck the Eshkol Regional Council in southern Israel, near the Gaza border. Another Israeli soldier was killed in Gaza, bringing the Israel Defense Forces death toll for the current conflict to 48.
According to Israeli emergency services, 10 people were injured, and medical teams evacuated most of the injured individuals to Soroka University Medical Center in Beersheba.
The mortar landed in a crowd of people, the Jerusalem Post reported. If mortars land close to the Gaza border, they do not usually set off a Code Red rocket siren, and therefore will typically fall without warning.
