David Childers, a North Carolina man: "My people were from back up in the hills ... Scotch-Irish savages" | Bloggin fae the 'Burn: Ulster-Scots thoughts
David Childers, a North Carolina man: "My people were from back up in the hills ... Scotch-Irish savages"
This is a really good video, filmed for Our State magazine, the official publication for North Carolina. I subscribe to the digital edition having seen it when on holiday back in July.
The interview here is done by Bob Crawford, the bass player with the wonderful Avett Brothers who are from Concord in North Carolina - a town so-named because it was the agreed location for the 'county seat' between the German Lutherans and the Scotch-Irish Presbyterians. Bob Crawford and David Childers have a side-project band called The Overmountain Men, where they put stories from American history into song (interview here). As Childers says: ""My people were from back up in the hills, where the Overmountain Men came from. Scotch-Irish savages."
This interesting book from 1940, a historical travelogue, traces the Crawfords from Scotland to Ulster, then across to New England in 1718, and then onward into the rest of America.

HD Camera Guide - The World's Best HD Cameras, Camcorders and Lenses All In One Place -- Anton-Bauer Batteries | Hi-Def Spotlight
Anton-Bauer Batteries Batteries Have Come a Long Way, BabyWhen professional portable video began in the 1970's, most batteries were nickel-cadmium and usually ran a camera less than 20 minutes. A cameraman—already lugging a 30-pound plus camera on his back (minus video recorder)—often had to carry a bag of batteries weighing more than the camera itself.
For the very well heeled, Anton-Bauer sold a brick battery called the Silver Cell. It cost about $1300 and had to sit topside up, or otherwise it might self-destruct! For those who took the care and paid the price, two of these batteries could run an RCA TK-76 camera all day.
Today, batteries and their charging systems are so much better. For small camcorders, inexpensive lithium ion batteries are convenient and long lasting. On the other hand, high-end batteries for digital production cameras have gotten far more reliable, yet are now incredibly sophisticated. For the ultra high-end, Anton-Bauer, still a leader in the video battery industry, has introduced the CINE-VCLX and new VCLX/2. These batteries offer dual simultaneous output voltages and a performance level that is more than equal to the demands of the equipment and the environments of digital cinema production.
Employing NiMH technology ported from the company's Hytron video batteries, the CINE-VCLX and VCLX/2 are not subject to transportation restrictions of lithium ion or the disposal burdens of lead acid batteries. They can deliver up to 32 amps total power—12 amps from the regulated 28-volt channel and 20 amps from the 14-volt channel. Both batteries feature a real time capacity display, calibrated for the higher loads of cinema equipment, along with a visual LED battery change warning. Specialized InterActive chargers for each of these batteries cuts charge time from older lead acid types to about seven hours for the VCLX and to a rapid three hours for the VCLX/2. These batteries can power the ARRI D-20, Sony F23/F35; Phantom HD, Panavision Genesis and Sony F900s cameras. The high-power 28-volt output will address up to 250-watt HMI lights and lighting panels from various manufacturers. Frezzi Energy Systems, another early veteran of video powering and lighting systems, recently introduced the HD-150, a new 150 watt-hour camera battery. Also available is a mini-sized HD-60, a 60 watt-hour brick. The HD-150 can handle high discharge rates up to 200 watts while providing an excellent cycle life. Neither has travel restrictions. Backed by a four-year warranty, these batteries connect to Anton-Bayer's Snap-On camera bracket.
IDX's Endura line of camera batteries feature lithium ion power cartridges that are travel-ready and field replaceable. Units range from 68 to 136 watt-hours and are compatible with IDX V-mount chargers. The top-of-the-line Endura Elite features a 10-step power indicator that displays power usage in 10 percent increments. PAG has a new 110 watt-hour lithium ion battery—the L110—that works with three major mounting systems: V-Mount, PAGlok, and Anton-Bauer's Snap-on. All L110 models incorporate PAG's Power & Time Display, which provides a prediction of equipment run-time on-load that counts down in one-minute increments. It also displays capacity in ampere-hours and percentage.
Two L110 can be combined to provide higher current draw capability and longer run-times. L110 batteries are restricted to two units per person, carried as hand luggage, in accordance with IATA regulations. Two batteries, the company said, is enough for days of shooting.

Last week we read in Joshua how the Lord performed another miracle in parting the Jordan river so that Joshua and the Israelites could cross over on their way to Canaan. After they had crossed over, God commanded Joshua to have a man from each of the twelve tribes to get a stone from the Jordan and build a memorial.
This memorial was so that when their children asked why the stones were piled there, they could tell them how God had performed a miracle and parted the waters of the Jordan so they could cross.
As we have been reading the story of the Israelites and how they repeatedly turned away from God and began to worship the heathen idols; how they so easily forgot all God had done for them; how neglecting to pass onto the next generation a strong faith in God can be devastating — God began to show me how important it is that we, as parents, pass onto our children our stories of God's faithfulness in our lives.
As we sat around the breakfast table one morning talking about this, I mentioned one incident in my life when God protected me from danger. My youngest who is six chimed in that he didn't remember that story. I realized that I had told the story before to the kids, but he had been too young to remember. So I told the whole story again so he could hear it and remember.
Just as God had the Israelites lay down memorial stones for their children to remember what had happened, I believe God wants us to lay down memorial stones as well. There are so many different ways this could be done, but I just want to share a few ideas to get you started. Please don't make this more complicated than it has to be. If you feel God leading you to begin "laying down memorial stones" find a way that will fit your family and be something that can easily be shared with your children. I want to point out that you need to get your children involved in this too. Encourage them to come to you with their own stories and be sure to include them in your family's "Memorial Stones"!
– Begin a journal titled, "Memorial Stones", and begin going back and recording every incident you can think of from the past where God was faithful, when He provided, when He protected, etc. Begin reading these stories to your children as often as you can.
– Get a basket with some smooth flat stones to fill it with. On each stone write a few key words that will jog your memory of a story you want your children to remember of God's faithfulness. Once a week (or whenever or how often your family likes), sit down together and have the kids choose a stone and tell the story to your children.
– Buy a small bulletin board and decorate it at the top with "Memorial Stones". Cut some stones out of paper and write down your stories on the stones and place them on the bulletin board. This would be a great visual way to display God's faithfulness to your family and a great reminder for your children.
– Instead of a journal, start a notebook (the 3-ring kind). Either type or hand write out your stories and place them in your notebook. If you decide to type out your stories and keep them saved on the computer, this would make it really easy to later print out copies for each member of the family to keep. What a wonderful keepsake to send with your children when they start their own family!
These are just a few ideas to get you started. Just don't make this so complicated that you don't actually do it. The focus is getting your stories of God's faithfulness recorded to read and pass on to your children — so they don't forget as the Israelites did!
How about you? Will you join me in "laying down memorial stones" for our children? I'd love to hear in the comments what you decide to do and how God is using this to pass onto your children God's faithfulness to them.

Group C is a two-horse race between Uruguay and Mexico with each team sporting its own star at striker. Uruguay is led by one of the best strikers in the world, Luis Suárez. Mexico is led by a surprising comeback player, Javier “Chicharito” Hernández. However, Uruguay presents a better defense with Diego Godín and Alvaro Pereira holding down the center-back positions. Uruguay will finish first with Mexico not far behind them.
Group D is much like Group B where it is really a one team race. An Argentina squad, led by Lionel Messi, will have to face the likes of Chile, Bolivia and Panama. Chile, with the dazzling Alexis Sánchez, is the only team that will give Argentina trouble with a possible tie between the two. Most likely, Argentina will win the group unscathed with Chile behind them at a distant second.
This year’s Copa America has a lot of questions leading up to it. Will Argentina and Brazil avenge their defeats at the hands of Germany in the finals match-up? Can the U.S. prove to the powers of South America that they are for real? Who will be the dark horse that disrupts the entire thing? Those questions will be answered come June. It’s better than watching a mid-June matchup between the Red Sox and Twins in my opinion.

Tom Bright, CEO
Successfully deploying a comprehensive solution that digitizes a business' operational environment is traditionally more complex than one can comprehend. A company's digital transformation requires the mapping of the client's operations, constructing tailor-made solutions, testing the solutions under rigorous conditions, and then final implementation—which can take weeks or months to complete.
For customers of Field2Base, a North Carolina-based field service solutions provider, turning their paper into digital forms isn't such a time-hungry and complicated experience. The company's novel mobile platform enables any business with field service personnel to generate intuitive, customized mobile forms to digitize on-site operational documents and complicated business workflows in a matter of hours.
Advanced technology and rising demands of receiving information as quickly as possible have stuck businesses between a rock and a hard place—being environmentally friendly and cost effective at the same time. Currently, field service workers report to a customer's location with having little to no information on the issues and past experience.
With hundreds of paper forms being submitted every day, businesses are failing to respond faster to customers, store information securely, and provide the necessary follow up services. These issues can result in escalating operational costs, loss of revenue, and degradation of organizational productivity. "Moreover, such extensive usage and wastage of papers heavily impact the environment. Thus, the need of going paperless is not only to address the growing consumer demands and reducing inefficiencies, but it's also about going green," explains Tom Bright, CEO of Field2Base.
With Field2Base's unique platform, customers can easily generate customizable mobile forms suited according to its various operations and workflows on their own
With Field2Base's unique platform, customers can easily generate mobile forms on their own suited according to their specific various operations and workflows or they can be created through the assistance of the company's professional services. These digital forms can be filled with images, videos, barcodes, signatures, GPS locations, and even credit card processing- it's all based on whatever the customer needs. This information can then be captured in each mobile form streamlined with the customer's front and backend systems.
An additional advantage of using Field2Base—each customer's mobile forms are completely alike to their original paper counterparts, thereby enabling the workers to use the digital forms without any formal training at all. As service workers report to a location, Field2Base administrators can send workers all the necessary customer details and turn-by-turn directions straight to their mobile device, resulting in easily performed operations and in-field data submissions. All form data is sent back, in real-time, to the worker's homeoffice and can be stored in Field2Base's secure and reliable datacenters. Their solutions also provide businesses with the ability to troubleshoot issues in the field via photo or video capturing and resolve issues quickly during the same appointment, such as ordering and paying for replacement equipment. The service provider servers get instantly updated, an invoice is generated, and the entire process can be tracked in real-time through intuitive dashboards till the delivery is complete.
With an easy-to-use interface and widespread applications in numerous verticals like healthcare, utilities, energy, and retail, Field2Base's uniqueness truly stems from its analytics capabilities that put the platform a step ahead than its contemporaries. Field2Base's intuitive, analytical dashboards allow users to gain unique business insights, make services more error-free and faster, enhance revenue generation, and deliver utmost customer satisfaction to their clients. For instance, Field2Base's solutions helped KHAFRA Operation Services, a Georgia based full-service contract operations firm, to go totally paperless, build global visibility on its operations, speed up deliverables, and gain data-driven decision-making capabilities. "We are a leader now when it comes to our technology's uniqueness in driving a client's digital transformation process, its flexibility, and its ability to provide accurate business decisions for the client on various operational verticals," remarks Bright. This analytical acumen also forms a big part of Field2Base's future strategy in combination with IoT as it plans to expand shortly into the global market.

I am an artist. - Content Creation - Unreal Engine Forums
Dayskii March 21, 2014, 5:40pm #1
and I've already tried modelling with blender… i've currently made only one character and have some question after i saw the unreal engine 4 features…
I'm a noob at this part so…
I've seen how you can make one character and then mark some parts with colours so you'll know what material will be on which part. Can you do this normally? Or you need to completely split the character into more parts so you can have each material for each part?
I saw that many models are made of a lot of faces that all are same sized squares. Are they for easier texturing?
Is blender okay to work with? Or does unreal engine give you other tools to help yourself with modelling?
Can you do realistic animations with tools that unreal engine offers you?
If my question isn't clear enough then tell me.
fighter5347 March 21, 2014, 5:58pm #2
I would switch to 3d max or maya, because there you get some features like the animation tool. But blender is ok to use, it just can get a little bit tricky when you have to export - import stuff into the UE4
Marc_Hellweger March 21, 2014, 6:09pm #3
how can i import upk files in my content browser with unreal 4?
I remember that in the older version was a option called fully load, but i couldnt found the option in unreal 4.
fighter5347 March 21, 2014, 6:11pm #4
Yuu **cant **use your upk files in the UE4 -> it uses another file type (uproject)
Marc_Hellweger March 21, 2014, 6:13pm #5
fighter5347 March 21, 2014, 6:17pm #6
But you can easily just export your stuff from UDK as .fbx/.obj/.png and import it into the UE4 and of course you will have to recreate all your materials and particle systems
Dayskii March 21, 2014, 6:22pm #7
by recreate do you mean to just import the character textures and place them on or mean basically from scratch again?
Steve_T March 21, 2014, 6:22pm #8
Q.1 - I think i remember them saying they created alpha maps that they could use to separate the different material types, this way the model doesn't need to be broken up. Not 100% sure though
Q.2 - It probably does make texturing easier. I know that it definitely helps with animations as it reduces bad stretching.
fighter5347 March 21, 2014, 6:24pm #9
Dayskii;2335:
With recreating I mean, that you have to create all materials/particle systems again → so you have to place/connect all nodes (constant vectors, multiply, add,…) again

I really, really no really LOVE when the answer is "Spend $800 and call me in the morning"! Obviously, like most of us, he DOES want to use Blender because…
It's NOT $800. Sorry if this gets under anyone's skin but I have spent countless hours scouring the internet looking for answers to questions just like OP's.
Epic has made this engine $20 a month for a very good reason, small indie game makers are not made of money. As a matter of fact it is the most scarce
resource we have. And it is small indie game makers who are beginning to re-open the game world after years of same old same old.
Blender is all we have. Photoshop, Maya, 3Ds is NOT an option when someone is talking BLENDER. Thx, rant out.
fighter5347 March 22, 2014, 1:00am #11
charliewhiskey;2554:
I really, really no really LOVE when the answer is "Spend $800 and call me in the morning"!
Where have you read that answer? But yeah, you are right, exactly because of that reason I'm also using blender beside my 3d max student version.
charliewhiskey March 22, 2014, 1:20am #12
I see it alot on way too many threads. When someone asks a question about using Blender, the answer is get Maya or 3DS Max because they are better.
Another way this conversation goes is…The brakes on my bicycle…GET A CADILAC it's better.
In this thread the Maya, 3DS Max answer was given by someone who may have actually thought he/she was helping. And I really do not care, but it brings
up many traumatic hours searching for (anything game engine) and Blender. "Spend thousands of dollars and call me in the morning" is usually the standard
fighter5347 March 22, 2014, 1:26am #13
Hehehe, I think I was the guy that gave the maya, 3d max answer but I also said that blender is nearly as good as those two (just some few import-export problems). Why shouldn't it be helpful when you say that 3d max/maya is a little bit better? You can always go for a testing version or the student version of them, so that you can try it out what is more suitable for you (everybody has to choose by themselfes what they will use -> we can just give some advices/suggestions)
charliewhiskey March 22, 2014, 1:52am #14
The impossibly obvious answer to this is $$$$$. I do not enjoy teasing myself with a program that is without a doubt better,
only to have to settle for the Blenders of the world. And i do not qualify as a student.
fighter5347 March 22, 2014, 1:54am #15
charliewhiskey;2579:
The impossibly obvious answer to this is $$$$$.
Sorry, but I don't get what you mean…
OSIAS March 22, 2014, 2:35am #16
Not to get into your guys little tussle I get where the guy is coming from. Indie Devs IE small groups with an even smaller budget that want to do things legit and actually release a final product. Tinkering around with whatever is outstandingly fun but if you really want to make something you have to set your pipelines and budgets etc. I use blender why because I don't want to dump 3k on some software. With that being said it seems as if studios are almost paid to not support it or give it the attention that Max or Maya get, why well because those generate money to kick back. Trying out some temp software that you cant commercially use isn't viable for a lot of teams.
So back to the OP's question
Dayskii;2286:
Q1 = This is entirely done in blender and translates to UE4 - there are pros and cons each material color represents another UV Wrapper. Pro you can add more detail and break say a head detail away from the body. Con's typically this mean your rendering the model twice so instead of having a 7k player model you now have a 14k model or 21k model and so on.
Q2= No this is about poly flow for mesh weight painting and animation, but it does help break up the texture seams or layouts.
Q3= Blender is just fine for UE4 = However UE4 doesn't give you any modeling tools or such to work with
Q4 = Ties into Q3 UE4 is not a modeling or animation software package. All it does is put together everything you made in blender you could say.
Piece of advice, I think you need to spend some time in the blenderartists.org community just learning about everything so you have a broader understanding and then your questions will be more to the point and make more sense or just focus on being an artist as you put it no shame in being a good graphic artist they are always in demand. No offense intended, and I hope I didn't break any forum rules linking that.
Dayskii March 22, 2014, 12:11pm #17
OSIAS;2596:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knbZ_g8Hgvk&list=UUBobmJyzsJ6Ll7UbfhI4iwQ
About animating i'm talking about this…
and in description they said: " …and now Unreal Engine licensees and subscribers can have it too!"
I've also heard that subscribers get some tools or assets for free… but the program name is "Autodesk Maya 2014".
If anyone here is subscriber. could you tell me if its true?
OSIAS March 22, 2014, 1:16pm #18
Ya I saw that as well and was scratching my head. Looks like a Plugin for Maya, I have yet to see any plugins for Max and I highly doubt the plugin will work with Blender. In fact its probably coded for each individual program. I just don't get why? Why not just make a stand-alone tool? Why have it at all, everything that it does can already be done in all the above mentioned programs and you don't have to have it. Maybe it makes life easier but only if you have Maya…

Colour is one of the most important parameters to analyse wine quality. The presence of anthocyanin pigment is responsible for the richness of colour in red wine. The change in the structure of anthocyanin is generally attributed towards the apparent change in colour in red wines. White wines and rose wines also go through colour change due to oxidation of tanins over time. Sometimes defective brewing process also results in bacterial growth leading to contamination and consequent colour change.
UV-vis spectroscopy is a non-destructive technique which does not interfere with the physical and chemical characteristics of wine samples. It is generally used to measure the colour intensity and wine hue to determine quality.

LegalCrystal Citation legalcrystal.com/816876
Reported in (1968)1MLJ502
Appellant Palaniswami Naicker
Respondent Chinnaswami Naicker
Cases Referred Narendranath Barari v. Aboy Charan Chatopadhyaya I.L.R.
- .....injunction restraining the defendant or his men from obstructing such user by the plaintiff of the suit pathway. in effect, therefore, the suit is for a declaration of right to use the suit pathway. learned counsel for the appellant took me through paras, 5, 6, 7 and 8 of the plaint to show that the relief asked for by the plaintiff is one for a declaration that he is entitled to an easement or right of way within the meaning of section 15 of the easements act and that in substance and in the appellant.2. the plaintiff purchased the property marked abcde in the sketch annexed to the plaint under exhibit a-4 dated 23rd june, 1932. in this document an express mention is made that the plaintiff and his successors in interest are entitled to a right of ingress and egress over the suit.....
1. The defendant is the appellant in this second appeal. Both the Courts below described the suit as a suit for declaration and mandatory injunction. But, on a fair reading of the plaint, it is clear that the plaintiff asked for a declaration that he is entitled to use the pathway in question for taking his cart, cattle etc., and sequently asked for a permanent injunction restraining the defendant or his men from obstructing such user by the plaintiff of the suit pathway. In effect, therefore, the suit is for a declaration of right to use the suit pathway. Learned Counsel for the appellant took me through paras, 5, 6, 7 and 8 of the plaint to show that the relief asked for by the plaintiff is one for a declaration that he is entitled to an easement or right of way within the meaning of Section 15 of the Easements Act and that in substance and in the appellant.
2. The plaintiff purchased the property marked ABCDE in the sketch annexed to the plaint under Exhibit A-4 dated 23rd June, 1932. In this document an express mention is made that the plaintiff and his successors in interest are entitled to a right of ingress and egress over the suit property DCKMLGH in the sketch. The plaintiff's predecessor-in-interest, however, purchased this very property ABCDE under the sale deed Exhibit B-2, dated 24th March, 1994, wherein no mention is made about the suit pathway DCKMLGH. It is however alleged in the plaint that the plaintiff's predecessor-in-interest as well as the plaintiff were using the pathway DCKMLGH, which will he hereinafter referred to as the suit pathway, for taking out their cattle from the property ABCDE. In fact, the plaintiff, in his plaint as well as by oral evidence, sought to establish that his claim to use and to have a right of way over the suit pathway was well over 22 years, and such user was uninterrupted and that therefore he had secured an easementary right within the meaning of Section 15 of the Easements Act. The defendant however contended that the suit pathway was not in existence and the plaintiff did never secure any right known to law to use the same and claim a right over it. On a dismissal of the suit by the District Munsif the plaintiff appealed and the first appellate Court reversed the decision of the learned District Munsif and found that the suit pathway was absolutely necessary for the enjoyment of the property ABCDE and that such a right ran with the land. He also found, as a matter of fact, that the suit pathway always existed and believed the oral evidence let in on the side of the plaintiff that the disputed pathway was in the enjoyment of the plaintiff and his predecessors for well over 20 years. He did not agree with the contentions raised before him that the suit as framed was not for the declaration of an easement right, but appears to be for a declaration of ownership in the suit pathway, and came to the conclusion that a legal inference as to the existence of the right in favour of the plaintiff could be drown from the evidence, oral and documentary, adduced in the case. The learned Subordinate Judge ultimately found that there was a pathway as alleged by the plaintiff over which he had a right of casement which he characterized as easement of necessity within the meaning of Section 13(e) of the Easements Act. He therefore upheld the claim of the plaintiff and decreed the
3. The defendant has come up in appeal to this Court on the judgment of the learned Subordinate Judge. Mr. T.P. Gopalakrishnan, learned-Counsel for the appellant, pressed before me the following points. (1) The claim of the plaintiff as initiated by him in the pleadings is one for ownership, of the suit pathway and therefore he is not entitled to a declaration that he has secured an easement right under the provisions of the Easements Act, and such a legal inference drawn by the lower appellate Court consequentially securing a legal right which was not asked for in the plaint cannot be envisaged and granted, and that therefore the suit as framed is not maintainable. In support Of his contention, the learned Counsel referred to the decision reported in Imamdin V. Nizam Dian A.I.R. 1933 Lah. 267. The observation of the lower appellate Court that the easement in question is an easement of necessity is unsustainable in view of the decisions reported in Krishnamaraju V. Marraju L.R.(1905) Mad. 495 and Subba Rao v. Lakshmana Rao I.L.R.(1926) Mad. 820.
4. Learned Counsel for the respondent would state that the property ABCDE was parcelled out of a composite property which was originally in the family of one Kothu Suoba Naicker and the composite property was divided into two, the northern and the southern portions, and one branch of the family retained the northern portion and the other' branch the southern portion. By subsequent alienation by the members of the erstwhile family Which originally owned the composite property the plaintiff became the owner of the property ABCDE (the northern portion) under Exhibit A-4, dated 23rd June, 1932, hereinafter referred to as dominant tenement, and the defendant's father and his brothers secured the southern portion of the composite property under the document Exhibit A-3, dated 27th May, 1890, hereinafter called the servant tenement. In fact, the defendant's father purchased the portion that fell to the share of his brothers and thus became the sole owner of the southern portion. In Exhibit A-3, specific mention is made about the suit property. The recital in this document in so far as it concerns the suit path, is as follows.
5. It was sought to be contended that the scope of the recital is that when the members of the ancient family divided and partitioned their composite holdings a personal privilege only was granted to Chinna Venkatasami Naicker. The learned Subordinate Judge rightly observed that this right given to Chinna Venkatasami Naicker under Exhibit A-3 cannot be deemed to be a personal privilege granted to him, but a legal inference should be drawn that a right of way in the nature of a burden over the suit pathway in question was for ever created under that document at the time of partition. I do not agree with the observation of the learned District Munsif that it was a right or privilege conferred on Chinna Venkataswami Naicker. The learned Subordinate Judge rightly observed that this right given to Chinna Venkatasami Naicker under Exhibit A-3 cannot be deemed to be a personal privilege granted to him, but a legal inference should be drawn that a right of way in the nature of a burden over the suit pathway in question was for ever created under that document at the time of partition. I do not agree with the observations of the learned District Munsif, that it was a right or privilege conferred on Chinna Venkatasami Naicker, because he happened to be the co-owner of the property. If really, as is sought to be made out before me, there are other openings available to the land ABODE, particularly in the north and its West, it is unnecessary to provide expressly a pathway in the southern portion of the composite property so as to create a right of way therein for the owners of the northern portion of the property. In this view, it cannot be said that the right given to Chinna Venkatsami Naicker under the deed of partition Exhibit A-3, elated 27th May, 1890 is a right which is extinguished on the death of Chinna Venkatasami Naicker and that it does not pass along with the land or from generation to generation to the owners of the northern portion of the land. I am not satisfied that the learned District Munsif, in brushing aside the evidence of disinterested witnesses like P.Ws. 1 and 3, has given any acceptable reason for the same.
6. 'Easements' is defined in Section 4 of the Indian Easements Act, 1882, as follows:
An easement is a right which the owner or occupier of certain land possesses, as such, for the beneficial enjoyment of that land to do and continue to do something are to prevent and continue to prevent something being done, in or upon or in respect of certain other land not his owner.
The land for the beneficial enjoyment of which the right exists is called the dominant heritage, and the owner or occupier thereof, the dominant owner; the land on which the liability is imposed is called the servient heritage, and the owner or occupier thereof, the servient owner.
7. Section 13(e) and (f) provide as follows:
Where a partition is made of the joint property of several persons (e) if an easement over the share of one of them is necessary for enjoying the share of another of them, the latter shall be entitled to such easement; or (f) if such an easement is apparent and continuous and necessary for enjoying the share of latter as it was enjoyed when the partition took effect, he shall, unless a different intention is expressed or necessarily implied, be entitled to such easement.
8. Section 15 of the Act inter alia provides:.where a right of way or any other easement has been peaceably and openly enjoyed by any persons claiming title thereto, as an easement, and as of right, without interruption and for twenty years.... Explanation II. Nothing is an interruption within the meaning of this section unless there is an actual cessation of the enjoyment by reason of an obstruction, by the act of some person other than the claimant, and unless such obstruction is submitted to or acquiesced in for one year after the claimant has notice thereof and of the person making or authorising the same to be made.
9. In fact the Attorney-General for Southern Nigeria v. John Holt L.R. (1915) A.C. 599, their Lordships of the Privy Council explained the term 'easement' as meaning:
Those occasional rights which an owner or occupier of a land may possess in addition to his ordinary rights of property which are legally exercisable by him within the boundaries of his own land.
10. We are concerned in this case with an easement of way.
11. An easement of way being an affirmative easement enabling the dominant owner to use the servient tenement, ought to be continuous and apparent. It should be peaceably and openly enjoyed as of right and as an easement. It may have its origin in a statute or in an express or implied grant or acquired by prescription. Such a prescriptive right of way can be destroyed only by a totality of cessation of the exercise of such a right. As the definition itself postulates, the interruption of the course of way should be significant. In the instant case, there is no acceptable evidence to show that there has been a telling interruption leading to a normal presumption as to extinguishment of the right of way originally created by the instrument of 1890. Can it be said that there has been a snap in the chain of continuity of the assessment by the non-mention of the same in Exhibit B-2 which is the sale deed in favour of the predecessor in title of plaintiff. A right of way enjoyed as an easement of another's land passes with the transfer of the dominant tenement, whether it be by alienation or succession. In my opinion, the omission to mention the obvious in a conveyance deed is immaterial. Of course, when such a recital is there, it may be considered as supporting evidence. An easement being an appurtenance to the dominant tenement, passes with the property' and it cannot be destroyed or extinguished by a casual omission of a draftsman while drawing up a conveyance deed. Thus the omission of the suit pathway in Exhibit B-2 and of the existence of the accredited easement of way in question over the southern portion is not a material circumstance so as to delimit in any way the vested right in the plaintiff. It should not however be forgotten that Exhibit A-4 dated 23rd June, 1932, this right is expressly mentioned. As already stated, disinterested witnesses examined on the side of the plaintiff have spoken to the user of the suit pathway by the dominant owner. It is however contended that the right of way granted under Exhibit A-3 is a personal right to Chinna Venkataswami Naicker. In my opinion it is not so. We have seen the express provision in Section 13 (e) and (f) of the Easements Act. It is indisputable in this case that there exists the dominant and the servient tenements. Therefore, the easement of way provided in Exhibit A-3 got itself attached to the northern portion of the originally composite land. It is therefore not a right in personam but a right in rem. As observed in Krishna Iyer v. Venkatachala Mudali (1871) 7 M.H.C.R. 60.
An easement is an incorporated right exercised in, or over, corporeal property for the beneficial enjoyment of other corporeal property.
12. This leads on to the question as to what is the nature of the easement secured by the dominant owner in the instant case. Reliance is placed by learned Counsel for the appellant on the decision Krishnamaraju v. Marraju I.L.R. (1905) Mad. 495 : 15 M.L.J. 255. That was a case wherein the partition deed, whilst it makes special provision for giving means of access to the Various portions of the partitioned property is silent as to the means of access over the appellant's share therein, which was claimed by the respondent in that case. In fact, their Lordships say that the respondent therein failed to establish any right by agreement. In those circumstances, their Lordships were of the view that if 'A' has a means of access to his property without going over B's land, 4 cannot claim a right of way over 'B's land on the ground that it is the most convenient means of access. The Word 'necessary', their Lordships observed, must be construed in its ordinary sense. This decision, however, is not strictly applicable to the facts of this case. In Exhibit A-3, there is an express recital that a right of way is given to the dominant owner over the suit pathway in the southern portion. There is also oral evidence by neighbours who are not interested in the litigation, to show that the suit pathway was enjoyed as of right and as of easement by the dominant owner for nearly twenty years. The question however, remains whether in the instant case the easement can strictly be said to be an easement of necessity. Learned Counsel for the respondent does not put his case in this extreme fashion, but submits that the easement in question is one acquired Dy prescription. In Subba Rao v. Lakshman Rao I.L.R. (1926) Mad. 820, the following passage which found favour with their Lordships constituting the Full Bench is very apposite in this case-
An easement by prescription is capable of being acquired only if the user during the statutory period has been with the animus of enjoying the easement as such in the land of another and not if the user had been in the consciousness of one's own ownership over the same.
The question of animus, no doubt, is always one of fact. Even from the sketches filed along with the plaint and shown to me at the hearing, it is clear that the suit pathway is not only apparent, but continuous. If, thus the suit pathway is apparent and continuous, there is little difficulty in holding that the earement in this case is one which has undoubtedly been secured by prescription and enjoyed as such, if not as an easement of necessity. See Morgan v. Kirey I.L.R. (1878) Mad. 46. Apart from this, easement should be deemed to have been secured within the meaning of Section 15, of Indian Easements Act already cited.
13. Though I am prima facie inclined to agree with the first appellate Court that the easement in question is an easement of necessity, I would like to add that I am persuaded to accept the argument of the learned Counsel for the respondent that it is an easement right secured by prescription as Well. As the suit pathway is apparent, clear cut and contiguous, the easement right can safely be presumed to De in existence for well over the statutory period, as such a pathway was demarcated in the document dated 27th May, 1890 and reiterated in Exhibit A-4 dated 23rd June, 1932. I also accept the contention of the respondent that such an easement acquired by the plaintiff has not been factually or in a mariner known to law been extinguished.
14. One other argument put forward by the learned Counsel for the appellant is that the plaintiff should be deemed to have based his claim as if he is the owner of the suit pathway and inconsistently pleaded that he has no easement any right over the same. There being such inconsistency in pleadings, the plaintiff has to be non suited. I have already referred to the material paragraphs in the plaint. To support his contention, learned Counsel relied on Imam Din v. Nizam Didn A.I.R. 1933 Lah. 267. A single learned Judge of the Lahore High Court held as follows:
The power of Court to grant general or other relief not specifically claimed while undoubted is always subject to the condition that the relief so granted is not inconsistent with that specifically claimed and with the case raised by the pleadings. A right of ownership and a right of easement are two totally distinct things. One is the right to hold, use and enjoy land or things to the exclusion of every one else, while a right of easement is a fight in, to or over the property of another. One is a personal fight while the other is annexed to the adjoining land or property (the dominant tenement) and runs with it. A relief arising out of a claim founded on the one is utterly inconsistent with relief on a claim based on the other.
15. A Full Bench of the Calcutta High Court, however, in Narendranath Barari v. Aboy Charan Chatopadhyaya I.L.R. (1907) Cal. 51, took a contrary view. Their Lordships are specifically of the view that a suit for declaration that a ditch belonged to the plaintiff or in the alternative they have acquired a right of easement therein for the passage of their boats is not liable to be dismissed because the plaintiffs claimed in the alternative over the same plot of ground fights (1) of ownership, (2) of easement. Respectfully accepting the ratio of the Full Bench of the Calcutta High Court, I hold that such an alternative plea as above, even if it could be presumed to have been pleaded in the instant case by the plaintiff, is permissible provided the plaintiff presses only one of them at the appropriate time. The plaintiff relied on the fight of easement of way at all material times. In the view, therefore, already expressed by me that the plaintiff has secured the right of easement by prescription, though not as an easement of necessity the plaintiff is entitled to succeed in this case. The second appeal is therefore dismissed, but in the circumstances of the case there will be no order as to costs. No leave.

In recent year, Quebec has welcomed nearly 50,000 immigrants per year into their province but new reports suggest Quebec needs to bring 80,000 immigrants to their province per year to sustain a strong economy.
Quebec’s target for this year was to bring in 41,800 immigrants. This decision was made last year and the goal was to reduce its newcomer intake.

It becomes the 9th state to include Sikhism in public school social studies standards.
For the first time, more than 700,000 public school students in Oklahoma will have an opportunity to accurately learn about the Sikh faith, traditions and community. The Oklahoma State Board of Education, on Thursday, voted to approve new social studies standards, which include Sikhism.
The civil rights organization Sikh Coalition was involved in a multi-year campaign to ensure that every public school student in the United States gets the chance to learn about Sikhism, a faith that has often come under the scanner in the US for lack of awareness.
"Accurate education and representation in the classroom remain critical to combating school bullying, bigotry and raising Sikh awareness," said Pritpal Kaur, Director of the Sikh Coalition Education, in a press release.
The organization made an initial request for Sikhism to be included in the new standards in November 2018.
Obliging the request, the Oklahoma Board of Education confirmed that it would implement the new social studies standards by the 2020-2021 school year, through a rollout during the 2019-2020 year.
This rollout will start with a review of instructional materials, continuing with the development of curriculum frameworks and ending with the provision of professional development opportunities for teachers.
"Our family has lived in Oklahoma for many years, and our youngest son is still studying in the public school system," said Gurcharan Singh, a community member. "These new standards will go a long way in ensuring all Sikh children feel represented and included in the classroom."
In October 2018, the Arizona State Board of Education had voted to approve new history and social science standards, which included Sikhism and several other world religions for the first time.
Oklahoma becomes the 9th state, after Arizona, New York, New Jersey, Texas, California, Tennessee, Idaho and Colorado, to include accurate information about Sikhs in their public school social studies standards.
According to the Sikh Coalition, some 15 million public school students are taught the new curriculum.

"I developed an interest in sports in 2010. Sports actually found me. I read a lot about football because I knew absolutely nothing about sports then," she said.

The Body And The Beast - Part XIII
Preparing For the End of Adamic Earthly Government
We now come to discussing the final practical outworkings that will display the Body's finally consummated role of authority over the remaining beasts of the earth at the Lord's return. This discussion fleshes out more fully the issues surrounding the transfer of the anointing for world rulership from the beasts to the Body previously discussed in Part VII where we described the impending Moses Era, and in Part VIII where we studied the authority transfer from Saul to David.
The closer we come to the time of the Lord's physical return and the fully established revelation of His earthly kingdom, the more shaken are to become the paradigms of the most common everyday functions of life as we have known them. While we eagerly profess to be open to "change" by the Spirit and "new moves" of God, there are simply some areas of life and thought that are so much a part of even the most spiritually perceptive among us that it has never dawned on us that they might someday change.
One of these areas of life is the realm of human government in the earth. I'm not talking about "the rule of men in the church." I am talking about the literal rule of the human governmental structures of society under which we all live as citizens of nations, states, cities and towns. The rule of mankind in the earth is shortly to be abolished. While there is much prophecy about the return of the Lord and about the "establishment of the kingdom," in practice, there is little connection to this otherwise unimaginable reality.
In fact, just the opposite is happening. Prophecy is now being used worldwide to continually shore up, preserve and support the policies of human government. And while we may be eager for changes in the Spirit and the moves of God, any vision on our parts toward the replacement of human government by the Lord and His Body can't seem to get beyond, "since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they have from the beginning."
But the Lord is now moving to awaken us to the imminence of this deepest of changes in the administration of the earth. He is moving now because there is a preparation required for being able to enter such a transition with as little contortion as possible. So allow your mindset concerning human government to begin shaking as you ponder the following thoughts.
When the kingdom of God comes into that final place of increase where it actually supplants the kingdoms of this world and takes them captive, it will be administrated by people who are from another world. It will be administered by immortals. It will be governed by those who have come into perfected conformity to the Lord—by those who have finally put off death to live after the power of an endless life—by those who have undergone complete identity transformation such that they have replaced all human allegiances with allegiance only to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
The issue of identity transformation is key here and cannot be overstated. At the heart of the Lord's nearing takeover of earth is a people who have shed all loyalties to humanly identified nations and their governments at every level. They are a people who will have come to the point of renouncing all citizenship in the governmental systems of this world. For when the Lord rules, there will be no pledge of allegiance by men to any other authority.
Perhaps you have never stopped to perceive the ramifications of what the Lord's return will bring. But if you believe these are the end times, and that the Lord's return is indeed near, then you are required to believe that there are changes to be gradually demanded of you in your relationship to human government if you expect to have any part in the new administration.
For thousands of years now, we have lived under a relatively one-sided paradigm as believers in relationship to human government. Under that paradigm, we have been taught that loyalty to human government is a high calling and requisite of God in the earth. Well, it is indeed true that, under these times of the Gentiles, the Lord has required submission on our part—both as Jews and Gentiles—to the authority exercised by the beasts of the earth. God has clearly stated in both the Old and New Testaments that He has ordained these powers.
Specifically, the beasts have been ordained as a check upon absolute lawlessness in the earth. It is not that they have been ordained because they are "intrinsically" good, but because they are a lesser evil in check of a greater evil. Such alone is the measure of their "goodness" as referred to by Paul in Romans 13:4. (As Jesus said, "There is only one who is good, and that is God.")
So throughout the ages of gentile empires, and throughout our own immediate lifetimes, we have been brought up in our schools and societies to be good, law abiding citizens, and in some quarters, to be upright participants ourselves in the processes and systems of human government. In fact, our understanding in the churches has gone well beyond submission. We have been taught that we must be loyal to human government (something which the Scriptures do not teach.)
But here, at the end of this age of gentiles, a new light is beginning to dawn. This light is now challenging the basic inherited belief structure concerning our relationship to human government as believers. It is not a spirit of rebellion. Far from it. Rather, it is a call to a new and higher loyalty to the Kingdom of God. It is a light revealing to us for the first time who we truly are in Christ beyond the literal realms of human government and lineage in Adam.
And why should this not be if we believe the book of Daniel and we believe we are in the end times of which he speaks? If we believe Daniel when he says the dominion of the beasts is taken away at Christ's return, and that Nebuchadnezzar's statue of empires is brought to an end at that return, and if we believe we are at the threshold of the time of which he speaks, should we not be expecting a new challenge to our previous age-long predisposition to loyalty to human governments? Should we not expect the Father to begin really changing our perception as Christ's Body in relation to the beasts of the field?
Even so new light is now arising to challenge what has become entrenched darkness in the church, including the prophetic church. To this hour, the prophetic church at large is working overtime to reinforce our loyalties and concept of submission to beast government as evidence of our obedience to God. This is particularly true in the west.
But the new glow on the horizon is transforming our identities to the point that we are no longer able to yield blind spiritually-uninformed submission to human governments, much less thoughtless loyalty. Who we truly are as the Body--being raised to shortly receive dominion from the Father previously held by the beasts--is beginning to dawn on us.

Tips For Leading A Software Development Team
Stages Of Team Development Every Leader Should Know
Assignment Details:for Each Stage Of Team Development Outlin
Thoughts On 5 Stages Of A Team Development Tuckman
What Managers Should Focus On While Setting Smart Goals For Teamwork
I am an international student, and I am having some problems to understand the course "organizational behavior" at the college especially the five stages of team development. I have the English as my second language and sometimes I have some difficulty in understanding some terminology without some real example. Sandra had initially taken a side role during these exchanges, hoping that the team would work it out for themselves. However, she understands from past experience managing many project teams that it is important for her to take control and guide the team through this difficult time. She made some decisions since the team couldn't come to agreement.
Organizations have used teams for years with some more successful than others. In a quest to determine stage of team development why so many teams failed to achieve their goals, team development became a hot topic.
This is a simplistic view of a team working through the five stages of team development. She made some decisions since the team couldn't come to an agreement. Every team goes through the five stages of team development. The first four stages of team growth were first developed by Bruce Wayne Tuckman and published in 1965. If you found this article on the 5 stages of team development useful please don't forget to subscribe and share using the buttons below. Many of these factors relate directly to the stages of team development.
Luckily, with today's proliferation of means of communication, old team members can definitely remain friends. Schedule Your Team Building ActivityTeam building activities can be invaluable at all stages of team development. For more information about team building or to schedule an event for your team, contact Bond's Escape Room.
The team may need to develop both task-related skills and group process and conflict management skills. A redefinition of the team's goals, roles and tasks can help team members past the frustration or confusion they experience during the Storming stage. The last stage in the entire process of team development is adjourning. If you've reached this stage then it means that your teams have successfully completed their work. This stage is all about celebrating the victory achieved together and revisiting the loopholes so that it can be avoided whenever the team takes up another task.
Criticism is not taken personally any more, but is considered to be constructive and task-oriented. The team cooperates on establishing rules, values, standards and methods. The team leader can give the team more autonomy so that the team can work independently. The adjourning stage is the most bittersweet of the stages of team development. In a real business context, it can actually involve feelings of sadness and even of loss for the team members.
She determined that Ameya would lead the database development design component of the project, working closely with Sarah so she can develop further experience in this area. She reviewed the schedule that Peter created with the team, making adjustments where necessary to address the concerns of Donna and Sarah. She reminded Mohammed that this is a team effort and he needs to work closely with the others on the team. After the storming stage of the Tuckman stages of group development, the team starts working in a fulfilling manner.
The team is becoming more close-knit and the team members are gaining each other's trust. They voice their opinions as a result of which conflicts may arise. The individual personalities of the team members emerge when they confront each other's ideas and perspectives. Still, they hesitate to voice stage of team development their opinions for fear of being excluded from the group. The team leader has a guiding role in this difficult transition stage. He has to encourage team members to speak freely and to be open-minded. In addition, it is essential that team members resolve possible conflicts by themselves.
These 5 stages of team development talked about the approach that employers should take to ensure a strong and organized team. The final stage of team development is not too exciting, and it can be a little sad. It's the point where people say goodbye at the end of a big project, or when you have team members leaving your team.
And sometimes it is unclear regarding the Tuckman stages of group development when a team proceeds to the next stage within the stages of group development. Nor does Bruce Tuckman provide any advice on the time frame that is required for each of the stages. During the performing stage, the team functions as a unit and the energy of the group will benefit the task. All team members know exactly what is expected of them and they work together towards goals and objectives. Team members understand the objectives of the team and they support them. The atmosphere in the team is good and the cooperation is clear. The team functions excellently and is capable of making decisions independently and autonomously without having to confer with the team leader.
Listed below are just some of the factors that cotribute to team dynamics. Team Tasks during the Storming stage of development stage of team development call for the team to refocus on its goals, perhaps breaking larger goals down into smaller, achievable steps.
While the newcomers are discovering the product and only learning its peculiarities, the time is missing. Later, he added a fifth stage, "adjourning" (which is sometimes known as "mourning"). Most of the teams follow these stages on the way to deliver high performance. These stages start when a group first meets and then separated as the project ends.
The norming stage of team development is when the team begins to demonstrate team skills and to work as a cohesive group. Working in a team or group is a complex process characterized by 5 distinct stages. It's best that you use each stage to learn and understand something new about your teammates and work on improving your workflows. Then, use this knowledge to help you overcome problems and reach your project goals with success. Yes, virtual teams go through the same developmental stages. As Tuckman stages of group development particularly apply to relatively small groups , it is not entirely clear how group dynamics would evolve in larger groups. Furthermore, it appears that group processes do not evolve as linearly as Tuckman describes because they tend to evolve more cyclically.

Quality Matters In It Staffing Deep & Broad Technical Expertise
Outstaffing: Dedicated Teams With A Cost Saving Benefit
What You Should Consider Before Independent Software Testing
Additionally, some need to build a larger team with a lower budget. Particularly when it comes hire iphone app developer to software development, cultivating the talent necessary in-house simply may not be feasible.
Alternatively, within classical outsourcing the client partners with an outsourcing vendor that takes full responsibility over managing talent and implementing the project. That's why outsourcing rates include the cost of daily team management, overheads that the vendor uses to cover the salaries of other employees, and risk management. This explains why, on average, outstaffing rates are 20 to 30 percent lower than outsourcing rates. Outsourcing stays relevant for companies, which need total product development or in their staff there are no professionals, who are able to manage the work of nonresident employees. When using outsourcing, the firm a customer directed to takes all the responsibilities and totally controls the development process of a mobile app or another product.
In app security best practices, you hire individuals from outside your organization to do the work under your monitoring. Most of the time, businesses follow this structure to hire faster and effective workers outside their territory. The traditional approach is to build an in-house team of software developers. However, it is not easy to find and get the professionals you need.
This is a widespread practice in the IT industry to reduce the pricing and risk associated with increasing numbers of employees.
At the same time, the quality of such companies may be slightly lower than that of specialized agencies.
In other words, a dedicated team is hired from scratch specifically for the client's project and is not engaged in any other projects.
With the dedicated team model, you hire remote developers who will dedicate 100% of their time to your project but will remain in the dedicated team provider's office.
When working with remote web development, you can demand more careful monitoring of processes, create a more strict agreement to ensure that their reliability is verifiable. In this case, the outstaffing company is likely to provide reports on the stages of work, clear responsibilities according to contract, clear teamwork and the result on time. However convenient it sounded, this approach is quite risky. In most cases, following this approach still will not give you a 100% accurate estimate. As a rule, the estimation process is conducted with the help of previous experience and intuition, which still leaves some room for deviations. Either the price is too high and you end up overpaying, or the price estimate is too low and the software development company is left underpaid.
According to the Global Sourcing Association, Ukraine was highly ranked as a top solution for http://socrat39.ru/software-development-2/blockchain-for-business-2020 services in Eastern Europe by Outsourcing Journal. What is more, Ukraine is featured in top-10 countries based on the expertise of dedicated teams. 91.26 out of 100 points provide a clear depiction of the quality of work you can get by Ukrainian dedicated teams. However, these lower rates do not mean less quality or worse expertise. Ukrainian programmers proved to be one of the most talented, skilled and dedicated when it comes to dedicated teams outsourcing services. The highest cost of remote web development is in Israel and the USA.
Here outstaffed employees usually work for a period of 1 week to 3 months. An outsourced testing service excels in terms of expertise, as well. Their technical experience in various fields helps them resolve problems more efficiently and in less time. Furthermore, their knowledge from various fields can assure software quality and help you meet the expectations of your clients.
The customer can spend less since all performance is controlled by himself. Payout Contractors perform on the pay-per-interval basis.
The transparency of the processes is considered to be one of the most significant advantages of such a model as a dedicated team. Regular reporting and the careful documentation of each step and result are an essential part of the service. The careful recording of the respective working hours and expenses provides an overview of both the tasks done and the costs incurred.

SweetSoft builds and hosts client-dedicated development teams and centers helping fast-growing companies to scale and develop their business in the long-run. IT services out, the customer rarely has access to the development team, and the team itself may work on several projects simultaneously. Outsource Outstaff http://nesteggvault.com/27-best-freelance-front/ Scope of work Usually, the customer completely entrusts work to the outsourcing team and expects to receive a turnkey project. More often the customer submits isolated tasks that his internal team finds difficult to solve. Management The customer cannot personally lead professionals working on the project.
Remote work – IT outsourcing or IT outstaffing tech pros seems like the solution for every geographically-independent business. Within the outstaffing model, you can have a remote team without opening a new company branch or a remote development office. As a client, you don't need to hire recruiters, lawyers, accountants, and facility managers — they're already a part of an outstaffing vendor and will take care of operational work. Meanwhile, you can implement your internal corporate policies and culture using the existing infrastructure and expertise of the outstaffing provider.
Teams find it increasingly harder to communicate remotely and collaborate testing services effectively. Software teams should first ask testing teams what unique intellectual property and best practices can they implement in your project. An autonomous testing team can work in a more focused manner compared to testing teams with extensive cross-collaboration. Therefore, the testing service can transparently implement testing procedures and grant software teams greater time to market for their product. Usually, outstaffing testing services are carried out in two ways depending on the length and complexity of testing in the project. One way is leasing staff, which is ideal for long-term projects. On the other hand, temporary staffing is for short testing endeavors.
According to the contract, experts receive a monthly salary. Needed technical skills In volume to formulate requirements for future product. Large enough to directly manage a team of IT professionals. In light of how rapidly technology evolves and advances, What does an Application Developer do it can be difficult for some companies to stay competitive given the limitations of an in-house team only. Perhaps they lack the expertise or their skill set just isn't up to par; maybe they don't have sufficient recruiting capabilities to grow quickly.

There is a balance of intelligence with emotions, a way of conveying depth and stillness to movement and community. Spaciousness, matter entwined into the dreamworld, pounamu crosses over and into and through.
As I write about pounamu I think about courage. I think about war and peace, how pounamu is made into a powerful weapon and is wielded to kill. I think of unity, the power of unity to harmonise and create visions of wholeness. There is such courage to walk peace, to find truth and to communicate uncomfortable insights that transform community, to partake in the whole. I see pounamu cleaving that pathway and this encompasses mana, humility and the beautiful way of sacrifice.
The program also featured important contributions from our research group. Wallace Cardoso, PhD student supervised by Eliane Martins, presented the paper “Combining State and Interface-Based Robustness Testing for OpenStack Components”, which was also among the four candidates to the best paper award.
Another contribution was the short paper “Deploying Privacy as a Service within a Cloud-Based Framework”, resulting from the Master’s work of Jorge da Silva in the context of the ATMOSPHERE project. Finally, Prof. Eliane Martins participated in the panel that closed the event, providing her insights on the topic “Upcoming Challenges in the Construction of Dependable Systems”.
In the same period, Natal was hosting activities related to the ADVANCE project. On November 21th, co-located with LADC, researchers from the ADVANCE team organized the 1st Workshop on vAlidation and verification in FuturE cybeR-physical Systems (WAFERS). On day 18th the second plenary meeting and transfer-of-knowledge event of the project took place in the INPE premises. Researchers from the University of Coimbra, Portugal, and from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Hungary, will then spend some more time in Natal, as part of the secondments plan of the project.
In October we received the visit of Prof. Regina Moraes, who spent a month with us working on the ADVANCE project. Regina worked for a long time at the Faculty of Technology of UNICAMP, in Limeira, but she is currently a Visiting Professor at the University of Coimbra, Portugal.
Her expertise revolves around different aspects of dependability and fault tolerance, under a software engineering perspective. Currently, she is working on privacy aspects in large-scale cloud infrastructures, also due to the activities she is carrying out in the ATMOSPHERE project.

The Small Places: September 2012
If a judgment can be serendipitous, then this was. Last week I gave a case law update to the fantastic Yorkshire and Humber Best Interests Assessors conference. In that update I talked about Article 8 and issues where an older person wanted to return home, but it was felt they were safer in residential care. I described case law where the focus had been on a person's desire to be reuinited with a loved one (in particular, DJ Eldergill's judgment in A London Local Authority v JH & Anor [2011]), but grumbled that no judgments had yet been published about a person's desire to be reunited with their home. This surprised me, as there are surely large numbers of older people in care homes who want to return to their homes, but where the 'family life' pull isn't a factor. I then spent the best part of this week complaining about how fuzzy the concept of 'capacity' is, how little detailed guidance (as opposed to equivocal platitudes) the courts have given on how capacity should be assessed, and how much potential for arbitrariness there is in capacity assessments... So, it was with a great deal of pleasure that Baker J's judgment in CC v KK and STCC (2012) arrived in my inbox this morning. In the first place, it's a much needed case about an older person who wants to return home. In the second place, it goes into considerable detail about what a good capacity assessment looks like. This case will not only shore up people's rights to self-determination, it should also place capacity assessors on a much surer footing about what is expected of them by the law. (By the by it also talks about the meaning of deprivation of liberty, and - with a few sideswipes at Cheshire - finds that a person who is objecting and 'has somewhere else to go and wants to live there' - see Cheshire [58] - isn't deprived of their liberty because their objections aren't causing enough conflict. But we'll let discussion of the parlous state of DOLS case law pass for now...).

A discussion about care homes refusing to enter residents on the electoral register on grounds that they lack mental capacity to vote on the (brilliant) Mental Health Law Online discussion list prompted me to jot down a few reminders about mental capacity and voting rights.
Is mental incapacity a reason not to put a person on the electoral register?
No. And failure to provide information to registration officers about a person who is eligible to be on the electoral register may be an offence.

There have been a lot of changes over the last year at CQC. Chief Executive Cynthia Bower has been replaced by former social worker David Behan, and Chair of the Board Jo Williams resigned last week. Although there are likely to be bumps in the road in the near future - notably the registration of 8,500 GP practices and the findings of the Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust Public Inquiry in October - some detect change in the air, a regulator turning over a new leaf. CQC are currently consulting on their strategy for 2013-16, and one source of contention is likely to be the tricky matter of inspection frequency. I have previously written about the shift towards 'risk responsive regulation', an idea emerging from the Hampton Report and which resulted in the removal of a requirement for biannual inspections in care services in around 2007. Under CQC there is no statutory inspection frequency, but last year in interviews amid the fallout from Winterbourne View and uncomfortable witness testimony at the Mid Staffordshire Inquiry Cynthia Bower appeared to commit the CQC to doubling inspection frequency, perhaps to annual inspections (e.g. Community Care, HSJ). In 2010/11, inspection frequencies sank to an all time low - including, according to data CQC shared with me, an inspection rate of only 6% for learning disability services. However, CQC recently shared with me updated, data, shown in the graphs below, which shows that in 2011/12 they have worked extremely hard to increase inspection frequencies, with around 72% of all residential care services being inspected that year. This is really encouraging, the charts below speak for themselves of the effort that must have gone into increasing the volume of inspections. However, in CQC's recent strategy consultation and statements from David Behan, there are ominous signs of a U-Turn back towards risk based regulation - that is to say, removal or reduction of minimum inspection frequency targets, based on risk.

I have lived and worked in Hannibal most of my life. I graduated from Gem City College in Quincy with an Associates in Business Administration. I have a background in retail sales management at JCPenney and have also worked in banking. I would say my extensive background in customer service has been an asset in journalism as well. I am acquainted with a lot of people in the area, including community leaders and public officials. I have worked in the News Department at KHMO since 2007. It is truly the most challenging and interesting job I have ever held. I consider myself a "late bloomer" Baby Boomer...but that's better than never!

25.105 Determining reasonableness of cost.
(a) The contracting officer-
(1) Must use the evaluation factors in paragraph (b) of this section unless the head of the agency makes a written determination that the use of higher factors is more appropriate. If the determination applies to all agency acquisitions, the agency evaluation factors must be published in agency regulations; and
(2) Must not apply evaluation factors to offers of eligible products if the acquisition is subject to a trade agreement under subpart 25.4.
(b) If there is a domestic offer that is not the low offer, and the restrictions of the Buy American statute apply to the low offer, the contracting officer must determine the reasonableness of the cost of the domestic offer by adding to the price of the low offer, inclusive of duty-
(1) 20 percent,if the lowest domestic offer is from a large business concern; or
(2) 30 percent, if the lowest domestic offer is from a small business concern. The contracting officer must use this factor, or another factor established in agency regulations, in small business set-asides if the low offer is from a small business concern offering the product of a small business concern that is not a domestic end product (see subpart 19.5).
(c) The price of the domestic offer is reasonable if it does not exceed the evaluated price of the low offer after addition of the appropriate evaluation factor in accordance with paragraph (a) or (b) of this section. (See evaluation procedures at subpart 25.5.)

Search Warrant ends Dial-A-Dope operation in Vernon… – PJXM News

Search Warrant ends Dial-A-Dope operation in Vernon…
VERNON, BC: A dial-a-dope operation in Vernon has been shut down after a search warrant was executed at a residence last Wednesday…
Police released details Friday and say on January 17, 2018, the Vernon North Okanagan RCMP completed an investigation into drug trafficking where a residential search warrant was executed on Southwind Road, in the Bella Vista area of Vernon.
The group was allegedly operating a dial-a-dope drug trafficking network supplying illicit drugs which was operating 24 hours a day in the Vernon area.
The investigation and warrant execution has resulted in the arrest of five people from Vernon; four males and one female, ranging in age from 20 to 23 years-old. The search warrant resulted in a seizure of cocaine, heroin and fentanyl, which were packaged for street level distribution along with cash and other items related to drug trafficking. The estimated street value of these drugs is in excess $7,000.
"This investigation is a great example of our commitment to investigating persons responsible for trafficking drugs, including fentanyl in our community," says Sgt. David Evans of the Vernon North Okanagan Targeted Policing Unit.
All five have been released from police custody and will be in court at a future date to face proposed charges of Possession of Cocaine, Heroin and Fentanyl for the purpose of trafficking.
The Vernon North Okanagan RCMP is committed to enforcement and prevention initiatives that combat the possession and sale of drugs in the community.
If you have any information about illegal drug activity in the Vernon North Okanagan area, please contact the Vernon RCMP at 250-545-7171, or remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477, or leaving a tip online at http://www.nokscrimestoppers.com.

Wellbeing Corner | Garin College
Kia ora Garin whanau,
Over the last couple of weeks the Te Wahi Hauora team have been visiting year 9 classes to introduce the team and to korero about stress. We chatted about what can cause stress, the kind that hangs around longer than the stress you feel when you slam on the brakes, or ski down a steep slope.
We started to unpack what our emotional responses to stress can be, for example depression or anxiety, anger, irritability or restlessness. Feeling overwhelmed, unmotivated or unfocused. Trouble sleeping or sleeping too much. Racing thoughts or constant worry. Possibly problems with your memory or concentration, making bad decisions.
If these emotional responses hang around too long it can really impact on wellbeing. The message from our team is: please make contact with us. We have an experienced team with lots of tips and tricks to help overcome these challenges so that students can come out the other side stronger.
The Garin homepage has an online referral form. Click on Pastoral Support and then click on 'form'. Alternatively you could email [email protected].
We have a competition running at the moment – how is Aroha and Integrity a part of your life? Decide what you could do to develop Aroha and Integrity in your life. You may have examples of what you do already or things you will try. Write down your thoughts and ideas and send them to the Te Wahi Hauora team. [email protected] The competition closes week 10 of this term and is drawn on week 11.
Enter our competition and go in the draw to win a canteen voucher and box of Juices to share with friends.

Liz Curry launched CommonLand Solutions, LLC to meet the needs of organizations, nonprofits, municipalities, and cooperatives for comprehensive housing and community development services. Curry’s work is grounded in the principles of the commons – the belief that community stewardship is our responsibility to sustain the physical, cultural, and natural resources we create and consume, for future generations.
About CommonLand Solutions
CommonLand offers three decades of experience, technical skills, pragmatic solutions, and systems thinking to tackle housing and community development challenges so that clients can strengthen their organizational impact, portfolios, and meet their community development goals.
I grew up in big cities with the benefits of close-knit neighborhoods. Pittsburgh’s steel industry, ethnic neighborhoods, Earth Day, and the civil rights movement shaped my values of economic, racial, environmental, and social justice and equity. Living in Washington DC as a teen, I witnessed homelessness grow to scale as a symptom of how our real estate system segregates winners and losers by race, income, and ability. I focused my academic studies on how to correct land-use policies and practices to create safe, secure, healthy, and equitable communities.
Community development became my professional home because of its orientation toward community-based wisdom and solutions. The community development toolbox offers versatility to design and create the social, economic, and physical infrastructure that promotes healthy and inclusive communities, particularly when grounded in environmental and racial justice. Creating new or breathing life into old spaces, structures, and neighborhoods for people to participate fully in society creates positive ripple effects for all of us.
Through a progressive land-use policy lens, CommonLand brings pragmatic project development experience to assist clients with research, planning, and implementation. CommonLand also forms collaborations with a wider network of consultants to deliver technical assistance to organizations and communities, aimed at sustaining a healthy rural society. CommonLand Solutions brings to every client and project:
· an energetic and nimble partner to connect with the people and harness the funding resources that result in multiple benefits for neighborhoods and communities.
· a broad network of colleagues in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors that can assist with any community development challenge if there is a clear vision and purpose.
· expertise in project planning, coordination of partners and professional services, financial packaging, grants, and property development/redevelopment for affordable housing, infrastructure, and community facilities.
· a trustworthy and reliable thinking partner.
Services include market research, project planning, convening partners, grant writing and financial packaging, leveraging non-traditional resources, and managing the development and compliance processes to make housing, infrastructure, and community facility projects happen.

"Liz led an interfaith coalition in the Town of Shelburne through the process of developing the town's first permanently affordable multifamily community, combined with the redevelopment and preservation of a historic mixed-use town-owned building. This project stands out to me because of the way in which Liz handled the community relationships, building strong engagement, support, and good-will with both the interfaith members and Town officials...In addition to her extensive and very pertinent experience and successes, I would add that I have rarely worked with someone of her keen intellect and the courage to take on any challenge. Liz is a pleasure to work with and would be an asset to any community development project requiring advanced skills and a commitment to social justice."

Cleco making progress on power restoration | WNTZ - cenlanow.com
Posted: Feb 18, 2021 / 10:35 AM CST / Updated: Feb 18, 2021 / 10:36 AM CST
PINEVILLE, La. – Feb. 18, 2021 (8 a.m.) – While Cleco crews continue restoration efforts this morning, some customers could experience new power outages as an overnight freeze and wintry conditions today are causing additional damage to electrical equipment.
Yesterday, power was restored to over 10,000 customers. As of 8 a.m. today, roughly 33,000 customers are without power. At the height of the storm, approximately 43,000 customers were without power.
"There are some new outages this morning, but all Cleco personnel and nearly 400 additional workers are dedicated to the restoration effort," said James Lass, director of distribution operations and emergency management. "We understand this is a difficult time, and we appreciate our customers' patience as we continue to work through the damage left behind by this second winter storm."
This is the second winter storm to impact Cleco's service territory in the same week.
Hardest hit parishes are Avoyelles, Evangeline, Grant, Rapides, Red River and Sabine.
Primary cause of power outages is ice on tree limbs and power lines.
When trees fall on power lines, they have to be removed, and the lines have to be picked up, repaired or replaced.
Cleco serves a lot of heavily wooded, rural areas; and iced over or slick road conditions are challenging for crews.
Crews continue power restoration efforts today, Thursday, Feb. 18, with full power restoration expected by Friday, Feb. 19.
Crews continue power restoration efforts today, Thursday, Feb. 18, with full power restoration expected by tonight.
This will be a multi-day restoration effort. More details will be communicated pending damage assessment updates.

ASAP Sports Transcripts - Golf - 2014 - THE SENIOR OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP PRESENTED BY ROLEX - July 27 - Bernhard Langer
THE SENIOR OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP PRESENTED BY ROLEX
BERNHARD LANGER: Just very blessed to be able to play such good golf and really enjoy the 18 holes today because there wasn't too much pressure. Still had to obviously hit some decent shots and make some putts, but got off to a great start, and you know, increased my lead and it was a real pleasure to be playing the last ten, 12 holes.
Q. Do you have to pinch yourself with the magnitude of the victory? I know you've won, say, The Irish Open, by ten strokes but this is quite something.
BERNHARD LANGER: Yeah, this is very unusual. I've won tournaments by 17, the World Championship under 25 years, but just doesn't happen, not with the competition you're facing. And certainly not in a major usually where the best from around the globe are playing in the championship. So it's been an amazing week for me.
Q. And one of those people you've beaten is Colin Montgomerie second place, good friend but nice to see him beneath you.
BERNHARD LANGER: Yeah, he's already had his run this year. He's won two majors and so we're battling it out for the Schwab Cup over in America and the Money List, so it will be a good race for the rest of the year.
Q. Makes up for last year?
BERNHARD LANGER: Certainly, it was a tough one last year, but when you put yourself in a position to win, you're going to win some, you're going to lose some. I've had both ends of the spectrum.
Q. Presumably you'll get a little chance to take this in to digest and celebrate.
BERNHARD LANGER: A little bit, not a whole lot. We are going to be flying to America tomorrow morning already and off to the next tournament.
So that's the life of a professional, not a whole lot of time to celebrate but we'll take away some great memories here from Porthcawl and Wales, just a wonderful week that we had here.
Q. And one particular thing to look forward to, as well, you're in The Open Championship for next season.
BERNHARD LANGER: Definitely. That's going to be a great highlight, and you know, another chance at The Open Championship and especially at St. Andrews, there's no greater place to play golf than there.
Q. You missed an eagle on 18.
BERNHARD LANGER: I missed three eagles on 18. I had three great chances and, yeah, just couldn't convert the putts. But today it didn't matter any more, whether you win by 13 or 14, really, it didn't matter. So it was very enjoyable sort of last, 12, 14 holes today.
Q. You could have dropped a lot of shots and no one was going to catch you. What was the secret this week?
BERNHARD LANGER: The secret was driving the ball well. I think I drove it extremely straight and far, hit a lot of fairways, and from there, you can attack and make birdies, and that's what I did.
I stayed out of the fairway bunkers, really all week. I don't think I drove one tee shot into a fairway bunker, and that was another key.
And then my long putting was extremely good. I had tremendous touch from long distance. I mean, yesterday I 2‑putted one from 37 yards away going three tiers up the hill. It's a putt you never practise. So it was all about feel and I had great touch.
Q. Does the margin by which you have won this week surprise you?
BERNHARD LANGER: A little bit, yes, but because you normally don't‑‑ you have to play great golf to win anywhere around the world nowadays. It's just so much competition and I know I played great golf, but I'm still a little bit surprised that I won by that many.
But it just shows how tough the golf course is. There were only a handful of guys under par, and you know, you've had a lot of great competitors competing this week.
Q. There's talk of an Open possibly coming here. You've played it in championship conditions. Now do you think that the course is good enough for that?
BERNHARD LANGER: The course is definitely good for an Open Championship. I think it's a great test, especially when the wind blows a little bit. The question is just, you know, is the surrounding stuff good enough for an Open Championship. But I'm sure they can work it out.
Q. And Colin Montgomerie also said your form, should see you go into The Ryder Cup Team; what would you say about that?
BERNHARD LANGER: Well, you know, we've been talking about that for a number of years now because I've been playing some really good golf the last six or seven years. But I'm not sure I'm on the radar screen of Paul McGinley or‑‑ Colin didn't invite me, he was The Ryder Cup captain. (Laughter.) And neither did Woosie.
So, anyways, it's up to the captain. I have no chance to qualify obviously because none of the tournaments where I play count, except the Masters.
But it's a long shot. But you know, I certainly feel my golf is worthy of playing in The Ryder Cup.
Q. I'm sure McGinley has been watching, so if he was to call, you'd obviously go?
BERNHARD LANGER: Most likely I would go, yeah, certainly. He's going to be a great captain, so I wish him all the best.
Q. A chance in the open; you're not going to go to St. Andrews just to make up the numbers.
BERNHARD LANGER: No, I don't go anywhere just to make up the numbers. I might as well stay home and have a week off.
I like to compete obviously and give it myself. St. Andrews is a little bit more wide open golf course and it suits some of the long hitters. That's why John Daly has won there twice, I believe‑‑ once.
There will be some long hitters having some advantage there, but if I play the kind of golf that I'm capable of playing, I still think I can be in contention.
Q. And you finished second in '84, didn't you?
BERNHARD LANGER: I did.
Q. Do you know what you're doing the weekend of The Ryder Cup, 28th, 29th of September?
BERNHARD LANGER: Yes, we have a tournament at Pebble Beach, and it's also the Mercedes‑Benz World Final where they would like me to appear in Stuttgart. Don't know where I'm going to be yet.
Q. Having been a captain yourself, do you think it would be not unfair but difficult for a captain to pick someone who has not been part of the qualifying process?
BERNHARD LANGER: Yeah, could well be difficult. I don't know. I never thought about that. But the captain has the freedom to choose never he wants, and whoever he thinks is most suited to compete in The Ryder Cup and on that type of golf course wherever they play.
So it would be unusual, that's for sure. I don't know if it was ever done on either side of the pond.
Q. Raymond Floyd I think‑‑
BERNHARD LANGER: Yeah, I believe he was.
Q. You'll be confident you can play four times, if you were picked, twice on one day and one on another day?
BERNHARD LANGER: Yeah, I'm fit enough to play whatever is necessary.
Q. Five times?
BERNHARD LANGER: If you can't play‑‑ if you can't get yourself up to play in The Ryder Cup to represent your country and your flag, you'd better not play golf. That's my answer to that, okay.
Q. Were you aware of setting records today?
BERNHARD LANGER: No. I don't play golf to set records. If it happens, it's great. If not, it doesn't really matter. I play to win and I play to have fun.
Q. When was the last time‑‑
BERNHARD LANGER: Yeah, it's been a while I guess. Felt sorry for the guy he couldn't jump over the fence, and I didn't want to interfere with the chip shot.
Q. That's 2‑2, you and Monty, in the majors this year. Is it the Charles Schwab Cup decides the winner?
BERNHARD LANGER: The Charles Schwab is the big prize at the end of the season that everyone wants to win. I'm sure if he has that on his goal list, and it's one of my goals, as well, like everybody that plays on The Champions Tour over in America, so we'll see what happens the rest of the year.
Q. Do you know how many points you are ahead?
BERNHARD LANGER: No. I don't even know the prize money.
Q. When was the last time you played as well as this, do you think?
BERNHARD LANGER: Don't know. I've had some really good tournaments and spells. When I won in 2010, I won this tournament and I went to America and I won the U.S. Senior Open over there, back‑to‑back on a very difficult golf course, and that might have been some of my best golf.
I won that by four shots or something over Fred Couples. And Fred Couples comes from Seattle; we played in Seattle. It was like a Ryder Cup Match, you know. There were 50,000 or 80,000 people and they were all cheering for him. There were maybe three cheering for me (Laughter.) So you can imagine what that was like.
But I've had some very good weeks in between. I mean, I've won 22 tournaments now in the Senior Tour in six and a half years or whatever, so you have to play some exceptional golf to win.
Q. I don't know if you heard what Colin said, but he went on and on and on about you, what an extraordinary performance it was. He said the word remarkable three times in the same sentence and said it was one of the greatest performances.
BERNHARD LANGER: Well, I agree to some extent because it's difficult to win by one or two shot, it's difficult, and is to win by 13, it's a lot. So, what can I say?
We all have certain weeks and certain days when just everything goes great and we're so‑called in the zone and everything is wonderful and you can shoot course records and break other records. But to do it four days in a row and to lead from the front, to win it from the front is not easily done.
You know, one time I 3‑putted today from nowhere, and that was just a lapse of concentration. I was thinking about all sorts of garbage because I had a 13‑shot lead and it didn't really matter. So it's not easy.
Q. You knuckled down after that.
BERNHARD LANGER: Yeah, then I got ticked off at myself to 3‑putt from about 20 feet. Come on, let's focus again.

DaSH Meeting on August 22 | Data Science Hobart
DaSH Meeting on August 22
Probably most of you have heard about Reanalyses, but how many of you actually know what the term really means? This week's speaker, Andrew Klekociuk from the Australian Antarctic Division, is going to enlighten us all about what is a Renalysis and what they are good for. His talk is entitled "Reanalyses – A sharing of juicy tidbits* and gory details**". I shall allow Andrew to explain the title in his own words.
According to Reanalyses.Org, in a reanalysis, 'observations and a numerical model that simulates one or more aspects of the Earth system are combined objectively to generate a synthesized estimate of the state of the system'.
In this discussion, I'll give an overview of reanalysis methods, and outline some of the more widely used reanalyses and their application, focussing mainly on the atmosphere. Bring along stories of your experience (or inexperience) with reanalysis data, and we'll discuss the joys and pitfalls of using this type of data for climate studies, environmental case studies and measurement evaluations, amongst other things.
Selected definitions…
* a choice or pleasing bit of anything, as gossip.
** to tell all the small details about something that is unpleasant or interesting in a shocking way.
ALSO: No DaSH meeting next week as we have lent out our lecture theatre for hosting a school excursion. The week after (September 5) Mike Sumner from AAD is going to give us a talk. In the following weeks we have Ben Galton_Fenzi and Marty Hidas to look forward to.

3. The floor drain is connected to the ejector pit and is located approximately three feet from the pit. Discharging into this drain are a water softener and condensate from a boiler. The discharge tubes end below the floor grade but above the seal (I rely on the discharge from the softener to create the seal in the trap).
4. At the far end of the room (approximately eight feet from the drain) is a Munchkin boiler. The boiler is used for hot water heat and household hot water.
Here’s my problem; when I use my wood burning fireplace I have a terrible sewage smell coming from the boiler. I can burn all day long and not have any odor but almost immediately after the boiler kicks in, the odor begins. The boiler, floor drain and ejector pit are all located in the same room but I cannot detect the odor coming from anything but the boiler. The odor is quite profound.
Hello Gary thanks for the question. Let me see if I can help. The first thing is you most definitely have a negative pressure issue when you use the fireplace. The air is moving, the hot air is rising and it’s pulling the sewer gas in from somewhere. I know you feel as if it’s coming from the boiler or the floor drain close by and that maybe true but it may be a cracked vent somewhere and that’s where I would start. Have a plumbing contractor do a smoke test on the vent system this will tell you right away of there is a breach in the vent system and it eliminates some things right away. It is certainly possible that the negative pressure is blowing out the trap and you are getting sewer gas from the ejector pit coming up through the floor drain and into the boiler. Try that first and if you need more help give me a shout.
The part that still has me puzzled is that I can use the fireplace and not detect any odors but as soon as I turn the boiler on the odor becomes obvious within a few minutes.

Scrimmage today, Hack on preseason building blocks, Milan v Liverpool in Philly, more – The Philly Soccer Page
Posted by Ed Farnsworth on February 4, 2014 at 10:17 am
The Union will play New England in a 60-minute scrimmage at their training grounds in Deltona today at 3 pm. The game will not be streamed so follow the Union's @TheUMatchDay Twitter account for updates.
In a curiously punctuated story on Saturday's scrimmage against Jacksonville's University of North Florida, UNF head coach Derek Marinatos says, "[The Union] came down last year to sign a five-year deal with the city. We wanted to wait until we had a team that could show some talent to them." More on Saturday's scrimmage here.
At the Union website, Kevin Kinkead talks to John Hackworth about the building blocks of preseason training, including three foundations of fitness, technique, and tactics. These foundations are themselves progressively grown in intensity over three phases of the preseason: the first week in camp at YSC, the first two weeks in Florida, and the final two weeks during which the team will be participating in the Disney World Pro Soccer Classic tournament.
Hackworth explains the approach is as scientific as possible. For example, the fitness aspect is overseen by fitness coach Kevin Miller, along with sports scientist Garrison Draper, and is monitored with the assistance of the adidas training technology miCoach. He continues,
We do the same thing soccer wise. We have a technical foundation and a tactical foundation, and then I always try to implement the mentality of what we want to do. These guys need to understand from the beginning as clearly as possible, how we want to play and what our mentality is like. Then you ramp up a little bit in Florida. You talk more about the details. You talk more about the tactics. You get them ready to play. The (third phase) in Florida, you're actually trying to put it on the field, and seeing if guys can go out and execute those things, while still taking their fitness level, finishing all of the concepts, and working on all of the little details. We add in all of those layers as we go, so that by the time we leave Florida, we should in theory be on the same page and completely ready to play a 90 minute game.
Hackworth emphasized that preseason games aren't about the scoreline. "The preseason games are preseason games. I know there are people out there who take a lot of stock in them and they don't mean anything. We have a lot of different ideas that we're trying to get across in preseason. For example, we will literally try to take guys from our first preseason game, and if they play 45 minutes, the next game they'll play 60. The next game they'll play 75. You want to get them to 90. We'll try to give that opportunity to as many people as we think have a shot at making our roster."
Acknowledging that the travel party that left Philadelphia for Florida will be smaller when it returns after players are cut, Philly.com's Jonathan Tannenwald has a look at a theoretical 30-player Union roster that takes into account the leagues roster rules.
Most of the quotes in this report at MLSsoccer.com from Dave Zeitlin on Zac MacMath's reaction to Andre Blake being drafted will be familiar from last week's report from Marc Narducci in the Inquirer, but Zeitlin does include this interesting tidbit: MacMath drove Blake to training at YSC last week. MacMath said, "We got to talk a little about where he's from, his school, all kinds of stuff. We've spoken a little bit and we talk here and there on the field. It's going well so far."
Speaking of goalkeepers, in case you missed it, the Union made a depth signing in Brian Holt on Monday. At 5-foot-8, he's apparently the shortest keeper in MLS, one inch shorter than the likely World Cup bound Nick Rimando.
MLSsoccer.com judges the Union's offseason acquisitions as the second best in the league behind Toronto and its wallet-busting spending spree. At ProSoccerTalk, Steve Davis unconvincingly quibbles that DC United deserves the second best tag.
The Brotherly Game on how Maurice Edu is not Freddy Adu.
Will it be AC Milan vs Liverpool in Philly on July 30 in the 2014 International Champions Cup? On Friday, World Soccer Talk reported that Real Madrid, Manchester United, Manchester City, AC Milan, AS Roma, Liverpool, Inter Milan, and Olympiacos would be participating in the tournament with — in addition to Philadelphia — Dallas, Washington DC, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Denver, Miami, Phoenix, Charlotte, Ann Arbor, Hartford, and New York serving as host cities. An announcement is expected today.
More from SI, which notes that team availability will be affected by whether a club is involved in qualification for the 2014-15 UEFA Champions League, while player participation will be affected by the World Cup.
US U-17 MNT head coach Richie Williams is full of praise for Hershey's Christian Pulisic and his attacking teammates following their championship campaign at the Aegean Cup.
Chivas USA have loaned former Union man Gabriel Farfan to Liga MX side Chiapas for six months with an option to buy.
San Jose have signed defender Jordan Stewart and former Union midfielder Shea Salinas to new contracts.
MLSsoccer.com has preseason news updates from Monday.
The New York Times talks to Philly native Bobby Convey about his move from Toronto to the Red Bulls. Convey says of working under Red Bulls coach Mike Petke, his roommate when he played for DC United, "He knows me and knows how I've changed. I'm married, we're going to have a baby so I think I'm a completely different person from the one who was making mistakes as teenager…I think when I was young I was more selfish, mostly because you want your career to take off. But at this point, after playing so long, I know more what to expect."
Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment chairman Larry Tanenbaum says of Toronto's spending spree, "Our ownership group are unbelievably committed to winning at all levels, (including) winning our fans back and winning in our community. Our fans truly deserve world-class teams…Winning does drive value up — value in the team and value in the league."
Columbus Crew owner Anthony Precourt says of the team's current crest, "We're looking at ways we can evolve and change our logo. We want it to represent the Columbus we've come to know. I don't think a construction crew is really representative. [Columbus is] not a blue-collar, manufacturing, industrial town. It's a smart, young, progressive university town with world-class businesses. It's a white-collar town. We want to be representative. We don't see Columbus in the crest. There are things we can do to represent the capital city better." Hopefully they do a better job than San Jose did.
Jurgen Klinsmann describes the spine of the USMNT as starting with Tim Howard, goes through Michael Bradley and Jermaine Jones, and finishes with Clint Dempsey and Jozy Altidore.
Landon Donovan says of the USMNT's commitment to the attack, "We really emphasized this camp in being confident and playing, not just lumping the ball forward and hoping to see what happens. We wanted to take this opportunity in a friendly to be confident and try to play. We could go to Brazil and sit back for 90 minutes and pray that we get results, but that's not how we're going to progress as a soccer nation, so we're going to go with the confidence to play."
At ESPN, Doug McIntyre says the answer to the question of whether Chris Wondolowski goes to Brazil "may actually lie in another question." Namely, will Jurgen Klinsmann have four forwards on the World Cup roster?
At SI, Brian Straus on the rising prospects of DeAndre Yedlin. Good luck to him but you're not alone if you're wondering how he was called into the USMNT January camp and Sheanon Williams was not.
Canada will host the USWNT on May 8 at Investors Group Field in Winnipeg.
An announcement on the MLS website says the leagues commercial arm, Soccer United Marketing, is organizing a series of World Cup tune-up matches involving World Cup teams Bosnia-Herzegovina, Greece, Honduras, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, and Spain, as well as Bolivia and El Salvador. Venues and possible other participants will be announced at a later date.
Speaking of the "supporters" invasion of his club's training grounds — which will be Iran's home base during the World Cup — Corinthians President Mario Gobbi said, "This represents the failure of the Brazilian state. It was something that shocked everyone, and it still hurts. Teams don't lose because they want to lose. It's something that happens in football. Authorities are the ones responsible for handling this type of violence, not the clubs."
In addition to considering the use of video replays and the so-called "sin-bins," aka the penalty box, in amateur soccer, the International Football Association Board will consider a proposal from the FA banning players from revealing personal messages on their undershirts. More from the AP.
Man I have no idea what Klinsmann sees in Jones.
Also, I understand he is Clint Dempsey, but his form this past 6-12 months has been horrible. If he goes into the WC with this same for he has been showing us … I'm not sure why anyone should be happy about that.
The only other suitable defensive mid is Beckerman
Does Pulicic have any ties to the Union? Seems like he is one of the best prospects in that age group. Would be a great home grown signing in a year or two.
According to this story from last summer, yes. http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-articles/ranking-prospects-in-every-mls-academy-pt-2_aid28909
I didn't want to ask this while the Edu situation was going on, but now that that's over with. Can anyone confirm if it's true that Raheem Taylor-Parkes is now part of our Academy? It was alluded to in MLS and USMNT articles on the U-17 squad. I thought he was Toronto Academy, but I find it hard to believe the USMNT site would have it wrong. If this is true it would be a very very big deal as the kid is a top level talent.
Top drawer soccer has his club listed as the Philadelphia Union so I would assume it's true.
http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/club-player-profile/raheem-taylor-parkes/pid-10027631
At the end of the day (camp and preseason) this had better be a team that is competing at the highest level and glaring holes had better be plugged. Don't over think the process like trying to fit square pegs into round holes. You've started to put the talent on the field put when it's all said and done and Danny Cruz is starting then we'll know who and what the problem is. Last chance!!
I have my doubts. Looking at the new acquisitions and sensing the pressure to get the best/most expensive players on the field, I have no doubt that on starting day there will be players playing out of position.
As long as they're skilled and versatile enough to do so. But we know the saga of Gaddis for example — At some point it just becomes a liability when you need to make that "play" in a split second and you can't because you don't have time to or can't make the adjustment. It's becomes even more of and issue when you're coach has done nothing to address the problem. It's going to come down to John Hackworth's ability to coach.
Garfan always said he wanted to play back in Mexico. Looks like he got his wish.
Interesting look at the roster. The way I see it, if we're going to sign a veteran CB, we'll probably have to trade somebody from the midfield. The only ones that look available to me (given that they recently acquired others) are:
From the quotes though, it sounds like Hack is praying that Ethan White and/or Cope/Dershang will be able to fill that spot. Otherwise, he's going to have to let go of someone he like.
Also, is it just me, or are we looking a little thin at forward? If Casey or Jack get hurt, we don't have a ton of quality behind that. Perhaps Maidana or Nogueira could play forward?
We'll see if Hackworth has the guts to really sit or limit the playing time of Carroll, Cruz, and Daniels or find players who are an upgrade to what they bring(or don't bring) to the team.
I think Le Toux and Hoppenot are the obvious slots behind JacMac and Casey. Nogeuira is a CM and Maidana is LM/CAM. Not sure if either has ever played as a forward.
I'd rather see Wheeler over Letoux/Casey/Hoppenot. He's got excellent size in the box and seems more than capable on the ball. Any of his appearances last season seemed to create opportunities. Hoppenot creates opportunities with his speed, but his finishing was extremely lacking last season.
I can't see Wheeler over Casey at this point. Based on what they both brought to the table last year Casey was the better player. Now Wheeler has room to improve and can learn from Casey as they should play similar styles. Casey is better with the ball at his feet. Wheeler is backup to Casey and Hop/Le Toux would be the back up to Jack.
Also, depending on the formation there may be only one forward starting. It is only speculation as of right now but most seem to think that the formation will be similar to what the US Nat team runs in that it is a 4-2-3-1/4-3-3
It's not just you as I have been thinking the same thing. Everyone has been so obsessed with the midfield (rightfully so) and the CB role (also rightfully so)…it's as if our need for another quality foreword doesn't even exist.
Jack really struggled for half the year last year and this year he'll prove if he's the real deal or not. Casey is good but no Mike MaGee. LeToux found his place to provide service opposed to being a goal scorer on this current squad.
Aren't there any Macro Di Vaio types out there we can pick up? One can only wish…
I think the best option for the team is what Joe mentioned above, to use only one forward. Go with the forward who is in the best form to start (hopefully Jack) and bring the other off the bench. That either provides strength/aerial presence (Casey) or finesse (Jack). Assuming the midfield works the way it's supposed to with the new players, they should only need one striker. Plus Cruz, Hoppenot, Daniel and Wheeler should be on the bench, so Le Toux or Maidana could move into that role late in the game.
~Sheanon Williams had a down year last season, but I attribute that to a combo of tactics and weak RM play. I wouldn't mind seeing Sheanon and Gaddis on the right side same time. Both prefer to attack, have the necessary speed to recover and our right footed. Letoux's assist #'s last season were inflated due to a lack of left side options.
~McInerney has to get the first chance at striker. The fact that he scored as many goals as he did with team tactics that were made for Peter Crouch is astounding. Casey was a pleasant surprise last season, but Wheeler provides the same measurables and greater potential.
~Even the most loyal man alive can tell you that Brian Carroll's inclusion in the lineup is questionable at best. Carroll is being played at CM because he's looking to get Klinnsmann's attention and goals/assists will help moreso than tackles. But he's defensive in nature regardless and therefore Carroll's inclusion becomes repetitive.
Just my thoughts…#Doop
***I meant Edu is being played at CM for national team reasons, not Carroll.
I think Union fans are going to have to resign themselves to seeing Carroll start as a CDM with VN and Edu playing in a more forward, box-to-box position. Maidana will most likely start as a LM/LW and either Le Toux or Cruz on the opposite side.
I agree and am resigned to Carroll's inclusion. However, it seems like this is being done more in loyalty than what's best for the team. Letoux doesn't have the top end speed to play a simple give and go and get around the defense. It forces Williams to make the runs up the flank. I think if he could concentrate on defending first and his offensive production second, he would be the best RB in MLS. The problem is, he is forced by Letoux/Cruz' inefficiencies to assume much more responsibility than necessary. His getting forward demands his immediate sprinting retreat when we lose the ball because Cruz/Letoux are such lacking defenders.
I think it makes sense to expect Carroll in the Starting XI, for the beginning of the season. Focus on defense the first few games while the completely retooled offensive philosophy jells. But I don't expect Carroll to be starting every game this season.
With the backline as unstable as it is right now. I am pretty much expecting Carrol to be playing sweeper with him and Okugo trading places to move forward.
I don't necessarily see a negative in Carroll playing if it is a 4-2-3-1 similar to the US team. That formation is likely to be the most common formation from the U this year but you could also seem a 4-4-2 diamond midfield. Pairing Carroll with competent players will not cause him to be caught covering for either lazy players or those who were out of position (Keon/Cruz). Carroll was 'exposed' last season because of this and any CDM would have had problems when Keon lazily runs back into play and/or Cruz is laying on the ground up field.
Carroll's main problem is he is not flashy so his play often goes unseen unless he is getting beat. He is still very good at what he does and that is playing as a disruptor. He is good in passing lanes and at reading plays to break them up. He is not good going forward but that was never his game, and for the longest time MLS as a whole didn't deploy a box to box CDM for the most part. He is aging and his skills are diminishing and he may not have many years left particularly as a starter but I believe there is at least a year or two of quality left.
If we could trade him to get a decent CB I would be all for it.
Williams was ranked the best RB in the league last season by SA and best under 23 by SBI, leading all right backs in assists. I think there is definitely room for improvement, but to say he had a down year is contrary to fact.
I agree with the rest of your analysis, though. I guess the dilemma regarding Carroll is that Hackworth has to choose between a veteran CDM or an inexperienced CAM (Pfeffer/Ribeiro/Bone), as he's made it very clear that he's sticking with the 4-3-3. Imo the problem isn't that Hackworth is picking Carroll in that formation, it's that he's not willing to reconsider the formation to begin with.
Sheanon didn't live up to expectations last year. Whether he is the best RB in the league is a matter of opinion (not for me), but he far from a complete player and with respect to friends and editors here, he's not USMNT material right now. He simply can't shoot on target, and he is not good on the ball. His crosses did improve, and his defense is solid. I certainly want him in the back 4 (or 3 – Fabinho and LeToux wingbacks? nah.) Did he have to cover for weak defensive midfielders on the right? Most certainly he did, and he did a damn good job at it. I prefer to see him and Okugo as CBs to start the season. His aerial strength and report with Okugo are vital. As pointed out by others, so much change in the midfield demands a settled back line. I think Fabinho, Okugo, Williams, and Gaddis in front of either MacMath or Blake provides that.
I've enjoyed seeing the MLS Player Transactions being included in this write-up this offseason. Thanks for putting them all in to one place 🙂
Danny Cruz still being on the team tells me he will get some time over LeToux this year.(not just in us cup matches) It's baffling, considering his salary compared to contribution to the team. Could a had a better winger with a ton more talent and potential with Jose Barril, probably half the price too. Barril has a ton of speed and runs at defenders. Cruz just runs up the wing and passes back to the fulback. Cruz is scared to run at defenders cuz he knows he'll get embarrassed. Cruz really should be the one to get delt. Not a fan of Carrol, but they should keep him in case of Edu getting a call up. Can't say I'm surprised by this, considering it's hacks' pet, just pissed cuz I know The U had better options in camp than Cruz. Not a good sign.
I just used Barril cuz he was my choice to replace Cruz.
The Union are assumably under contract with him. Contracts work in both directions. Doubtful that they will exercise the only allowable buy-out on Cruz.
Any word on whether the Union is still interested in Benji Joya? If so, when does that weighted lottery go down?
All interested teams need to get their name in the hat by the end of Monday. Lottery is based on the last 30 some games played. Announcement maybe today or tomorrow.
My guess is when the dust settles, Jack Mac starts the season as a sub.
Fabinhon-White-Okugo-Williams
Carroll-Edu-Nogueira
Maidana-Casey-Letoux
Does ZacMac join him on the bench in your predicted line-up?
That one I think is yet to be determined, based on how things play out in camp. My guess is, that unless Zak is clearly outplayed he may start the season in goal before being pushed aside. Playing him could raise trade value. But Zak won't be around long.
My feeling on Jack is based on the formation. If they stick 4-3-3 There really is room for just one central striker and it comes down to a choice between Casey and Jack. If Connor is healthy, I tHink he gets the nod. Maidana has the left and I just think LeToux is better suited to the wing role than McInerney. Plus Hackwprth already had Jack on the bench for spells towards the end of last year.
I don't think Macmath will be on the bench. He's either starting or traded.
I would be really really surprised for Jack Mac doesn't start. Not sure how much mileage Casey has left. And with a revamped midfield the Union won't necessarily need to chuck the ball up t a lone target forward. More passing on the ground, through balls, etc. Jack's bread and butter.
Jack has already said on the record that he is out of here when his contract is up. I can't see the Union feeling any obligation to play him for "player development" purposes if that is the case. Maybe to build his sale/trade value, but he has made it clear that he is not the future of the franchise.
They can still trade him. So better get his value up and give your team the best chance to win, while figuring out what to do next.
That is depressing, where did he say that, msg24365? Last year had to be really difficult for him, probably the worst good season a striker could have. That call up the USMNT camp really messed with his head, and he never recovered. I had hoped the offseason and preseason training would recalibrate his focus and dedication to being a team player. Strikers are a finicky sort though.
I certainly think our new additions cater to Jack's play and want to see him leading the line from day 1.

Traditional handicraft villages have become an inevitable part of Vietnamese culture and play an important socio-economic role within the country’s development. However, poor governmental policy and regulatory environment in Vietnam, lack of infrastructure, limited management, marketing skills and knowledge often lead to scarce information to access the market. The aim of the research is to investigate the contemporary status of digital marketing strategies and tools used in handicraft villages in Thua Thien Hue province. It will be complemented by finding out the needs of handicraft businesses about the training course and consultancy on e-marketing. The key quantitative research method is a questionnaire survey of 100 handicraft businesses in 11 villages in Thua Thien Hue province in Vietnam. The results indicated that these businesses do not use digital marketing as the main tool to acquire customers. One of the main reasons can be a fact of not owning sufficient IT technology. However, despite this, businesses realize the need for digital marketing applications and are interested in adopting digital marketing skills and training in order to enhance tourism market access within national and international borders. That is a positive sign for future application of online marketing strategies into business management.

Lithuanian government attempts to create equal opportunities for children who are brought up in different economic, social, and cultural conditions. The income of the majority of Lithuanian citizens still falls behind the European average. This study aims to examine the effect of household income on the choice of non-formal education activity of children and the costs of participation in sports. A questionnaire survey was public used on a website. Vilnius households (Ʃ = 136) were those whose 3-7 years old children were enrolled in non-formal sports activities. The survey aimed to find out the effect of household income on the selection of children’s non-formal sports education. Results showed that the importance level of a sports club, the sport, or activity selection criteria are more expressed in families with lower income. Survey revealed the annual (nine months) ten categories of expenses incurred by parents. The average parental costs for children’s sports activities per nine months amount to EUR 550, consisting of the membership fees and other costs. Parents tend to finance children’s non-formal education through sport irrespective of household income, i.e., parental predispositions towards their children’s participation in sports are much stronger compared to incurred expenses on sports activities.

The global economic competitiveness has forced many organizations to consider the emerging and developing markets for future growth opportunities. The Southern African country Mozambique was identified as such an opportunity. However, although the country has experienced more sustained historic economic growth than its neighboring countries, it is also riddled with corruption and bureaucracy. Due to the complex and challenging Mozambique business environment, this research project utilized SWOT and PESTLE analytical techniques to develop a decision support framework to support the organizational growth strategies in Mozambique. The approach allowed for both internally and externally focused data collection and evaluation. The qualitative data were collected during structured interviews with selected captains-of-industry in the Mozambican context. In the development of the decision support framework, key factors were identified, evaluated, and ranked in order of severity. Key internal factors found centered on human resources, including management style, skilled labor availability and retention, while external factors centered potential growth in the mining and gas industry, government interventions and stability, and lack of skilled labor availabity. Taking cognizance of these factors enables a systematic framework to guide the strategy development in the Mozambican marketplace. It is recommended that this framework should be a living framework, continuously evolving as new strategic information becomes available.

The current study focuses on the entrepreneurial marketing. The study aims to examine how entrepreneurial marketing can act in defining and nurturing the entrepreneurship culture within the banking sector in Jordan in the period of 2018–2019. The chosen dimensions of entrepreneurial marketing include customer focus, opportunity driven, innovation, risk management, and proactiveness. Utilizing the quantitative approach, 368 questionnaires were distributed among marketing managers within the commercial banks in Jordan, including marketing managers, marketing officers, and e-marketing representatives. Descriptive statistics, multiple regression, and linear regression were used in order to analyze the results by using SPSS ver. 23. The study analysis indicates a positive influence of entrepreneurial marketing on organizational culture through nurturing the entrepreneurial spirit and motives. The study has also shown that proactiveness and risk management were the most influential variables as they scored R-value of 0.697 and 0.692, respectively, referring to these variables as highly influential, and play a significant role in nurturing the entrepreneurial culture within the organization.

This paper highlights the problems associated with the poor quality of services and the lack of effective marketing interaction between all the participants of the charter air transportation in the tourist summer season of 2018 in Ukraine. The paper aims to develop an algorithm for the actions of all participants of tourist services market in order to establish effective marketing interaction based on the analysis of the reasons influencing the destabilization of the tourist services market in the field of charter air transportation. Flight delay statistics were selected for June-July 2018 due to the fact that it was during this period that the problem manifested itself especially sharply. So, not time-series data, but cross-sectional data were selected for the analysis of the problem cause. At the same time, for confident conclusions about the increase in passenger traffic, 5-year periods were chosen, namely, the period 2014–2018 was compared with the period 2009–2013. During the research, statistical methods of one-factor linear correlation-regression analysis were used, as well as a comparative analysis of the indicators of the charter air transportation participants’ performance in Ukraine. The analysis of charter air transportation market showed that increasing the age of the aircraft in a year leads to a decrease in the proportion of timely flights by 2.5%. The marketing analysis proves that the rapid increase in the number of passengers was caused by the explosive increase in irregular flights. The results of the study also indicate that the well-organized interaction between the tour operator and the airlines significantly affects the timeliness of the flights. Based on defined problems of the charter air transportation market, a set of recommendations has been proposed for improving the marketing interaction of all market participants: tourists, tour operators, airlines and government agencies.

Innovative development of Ukraine is possible due to the introduction of an effective mechanism for the promotion of commercially attractive scientific ideas and developments, which are produced at universities, into the domestic and international markets. It is extremely difficult for research universities to negotiate the transfer of their developments due to the lack of an extensive technology transfer infrastructure where an information system would be in place to exchange technological requests and proposals. The authors demonstrate a modern toolkit for the transfer of knowledge and technology, which is actively used by the international academic community and contributes to the consideration of modern specifics in the organization of innovative marketing in research universities. In the article, the authors analyze the role of social and communication tools, namely media and online social platforms, such as Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, or YouTube, or other communication search platforms, including Enterprise Europe Network in the technological transfer of world research universities and Ukrainian university practice. The dominance of positive features in the use of media tools for technology transfer proves its viability for the Ukrainian market. Using the tools of media sector it was proposed to develop a modern strategy for commercializing the results of innovative activities of research universities. The article offers considering the process of bringing to commercially attractive results of experimental research at universities based on the methodology of network marketing and education.

The paper aims to investigate and assess the decision-making process of young Slovak consumers – generation Z – in the purchase of tomatoes.
The respondents participatet in a questionnaire survey and blind testing of four tomato samples (two samples were Slovak and another two were foreign tomatoes). For a deeper analysis of the collected data, five scientific hypotheses were formulated. The accuracy of provided hypotheses was verified using the following mathematical-statistical methods: Chi-Square test of independence, Mann-Whitney U-test, and as Chi test for equality of proportions between two samples. The research results show that generation Z buys tomatoes once a week or several times a month. Moreover, it was found out that most young consumers are mostly influenced by freshness, taste, quality of tomatoes, and general appearance, the least by packaging, brand/specific tomato grower, information on the packaging and references. According to all observed attributes within the blind testing of tomato by the respondents, the best-evaluated sample was the Slovak sample of tomatoes – the sample B. Subsequently, all respondents were provided with information about the tested tomatoes, and it can be stated that they would also actually buy Slovak sample B in the store. Finally, one can state that the higher price of this sample has no significant impact on the respondents of generation Z.

Agricultural trade is complicated owing to perishable goods and high requirements for safety and quality, especially by animal products. Intensifying their exports is a major priority in the context of augmenting competitive negotiations and providing global food security to cover a shortage of an animal protein intake. To address such challenges, this study aimed at improving marketing performance necessary for developing the world exports of animal products. The methodological research framework was the Marketing Mix model, which included Product, Price, Place, and Promotion, and was amplified by Innovation. The model components were presented by the average export prices and indicators for Infrastructure, ICT adoption, and Innovation capability evaluated for each exporting country. For testing hypotheses about homo- and heterogeneity of top exporters, this research utilized the single factor Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) technique. The offered approach was applied to the most valuable export segments of poultry, livestock, and dairy world markets. They engaged from 75 to 140 countries and had total export values between USD 3.2 billion and USD 33.2 billion. The study outcomes captured similarities and differences of Price, Place, Promotion, and Innovation components among the First 10, Second 10, and Third 10 ranked exporters. Given the found indicators of the top world exporters, the study clarifies prospects and attainable goals on developing exports of animal products at a country level.

Despite the rapid growth rate, the scientific base and theoretical development of Internet marketing in Ukraine requires scientific justification and additional research. This paper highlights the problems associated with the unclear position among scientists and experts in defining the concept of “Internet marketing” because the concept is quite new and practically unexplored, consists of two words, each of which has its meaningful content.
The paper aims, based on the analysis of conceptual theoretical approaches of scientists and marketers, to formulate the conceptual definition of “Internet marketing,” considering modern features of Internet marketing activity.
The research considers the basic theoretical and practical definitions of “Internet marketing” in accordance with the conceptual and categorical approaches. According to the supporters of the descriptive approach, the definition of Internet marketing characterizes, as part of e-commerce, the set of Internet marketing tools, while ignoring the relationship with traditional marketing. Supporters of the conservative approach consider Internet marketing as an integral part of traditional marketing and do not pay due attention to the technical capabilities and limitations of the Internet.
To form a comprehensive definition of Internet marketing, which would take into account all aspects of Internet marketing, this paper considers the Internet marketing features, according to the “6I” Internet marketing model of McDonald and Wilson, supplemented by characteristics of the modern conditions of the Ukrainian Internet market, like reactivity, dynamic pricing, innovation, complexity of implementation, and others.

AWALT/hypergamy, is a spectrum. Yes, all women crave high status men. However, some do so more than others and they'll live out their hypergamous imperative much more aggressively than other women.
Funnily, by broadcasting "I am a high-status male" via the application of redpill behaviors, you run into a self-fulfilling prophecy situation. Just like a company precisely adjusting their advertisement for their target audience, the storybook application of TRP is most effective on women who are on the more extreme side of hypergamy (e.g. gold-diggers etc.). Ok plate material, awful LTR material.
I really like this. And you can apply it to all aspects of your life. By thinking about things through a "spectrum", things become much more evident
I thought I had been sort of reaching in the dark for that exact explanation about the self for filling prophecy but you worded that perfectly.
I remember he said in the book something something neediness attracts neediness and narcissism attracts narcissism.
He's saying that by becoming more alpha, you tend to attract girls that pick based on superficial traits, so you perceive all girls as picking based on superficial traits, when in reality it is a spectrum.
There are girls that will leave their long term bf and drop everything as soon as an alpha shows up. Then there are girls who will only just cheat with him. Then there are girls that wouldn't break up with their boyfriend but try to get him to act more alpha, then break up with him down the line once she realize its not going to happen. Then there are girls who do nothing, but they will sometimes fantasize about the alpha. Etc.
By being more alpha, you will attract more of the first type of girl, causing you to think that all girls are that alpha thirsty. The reality is that all girls want an alpha but their level of alpha thirstiness is a spectrum.
Everything was better in the old days. Especially because you were able to share opinions and ideas without rookies diagnosing a “fundamental lack of understanding” or getting burdened with quality concerns.
While all women will react positively to high-status behaviour, they don't react equally - just as a lot of things influencing the extent to which women act out their biological, hypergamous imperative are not equal for everyone (e.g. opportunity, beliefs, upbringing, social-economic situation, character… etc.).
There are no unicorns, but there are a few good ones and a lot of bad ones. Really good women however are made.
They have 2 wheels and an engine. Some are sportier than others but will put you on your ass if you don't know how to handle it. Even the slow ones can fuck you up if you're an idiot. Some are very reliable but otherwise unremarkable. Some are reliable AND fun. Don't pay new price for a well used bike.
if it's a relationship filled with love, respect, admiration, etc., her hypergamous nature will be somewhat limited. it will ALWAYS be in her to find and look for a better deal (man), but i find that girls with a solid father figure isn't as bad.
AWALT isn't a list of actions. It's the motivation of every female to gain commitment from the highest smv man she can. That motivation means that all women are capable of the actions commonly associated with AWALT, like cheating, but doesn't mean they will always manifest.
Also, knowing what AWALT is doesn't take the burden off of men and doesn't allow us to just blame women. It explains their actions relative to our own. When I see men on here say "I was dating this girl but she cheated on me but that's just AWALT" I actually read "some girl cheated on me because I'm a betatard who doesn't own my actions and blames everyone else for my failures". Your smv dropped, hers improved past yours, or you're beta bux and don't realize it.
Also, NAWALT isn't a thing. Literally, all women are like that. Some men are just better at knowing how to manage it.
Yeah thats right. Like shes always smells good, has a good hygiene, dresses well and does sport and you sit all day, weight 40lbs too much and cant even fuck her right because you have no cardio? Yeah thats her fault.
Several of the common 'awalt' behaviors mentioned on redpill are actually responses to poverty/education levels. Eg baby trapping, gold digging.
Certain things are just more common among poor women. Technically then it isn’t awalt but it’s conflated by frustrated men who don’t realize the problem is their 'group' so to speak.
Tottally disagree. In my experience (AWALT) , poor girls are less gold diggers than rich ones. Dont ask me why.
Rich girls crave rich men because daddy was a rich man who gave her everything she wanted, therefore by default her mate must live up to daddy or exceed.
Wealth can only ever be a symptom of class.Which means that sometimes the two coincide but money in itself can never make you classy...correlation does not imply causation remember!
I think people around here commonly assume the woman doesn't have any money, and if they do, that they are only interested in dudes with more money.
In my experience women that take care and make money tend to attract broke ass handsome dudes and take care of them like a mommy.
They get sick of it and they crave an alpha but they just don't have time or a social life because of the grind they live to keep up.
I have one of these women and she's gold. You wouldn't find her at a club she's buying groceries and getting chores done but then she goes home and doesn't go out because she's fuckin tired man.
Netflix traps a lot of good women at home watching reruns of the same shows. People are crazy my girl's sister is watching glee and Once over again from start to finish.
If you’ve come to the TRP, you may have experienced only women who ALT. I know some women and men that are not themselves or men who have experienced a ton of women that fall in that category. Regionally, some women are all like that, like here in south Florida. You go to other more traditional and less materialistic places and you talk red pill, people will look at you like you just got back from war and can’t relate in the slightest. Men are still the man in the relationships in a lot of smaller country towns.
I cant personally say definitively, I’m one guy, but having lived a lot of places and traveling a lot, a woman from Manaus Brazil, Miami, Florida, upstate NY and Orlando, Florida; you can sort of see how they can evolve to be similar or never resemble each other at all. But I’ll say this, being a good person from anywhere and transplant them to south Florida, they’ll be blowing lines, brunching “to the fullest”, posting gym selfies and cheating on you in no time. I know solid 8s in Orlando that cant meet guys, are awesome, fun, independent but loyal and just don’t get why they’re single. Meanwhile 6s in Miami act like super model divas. I’ve never seen this anywhere else. Hop on a plane to Charlotte N.C. and half the women are sweet traditional bumpkins, then you’ve got the thousand dicks transplants from... SOUTH FLORIDA.
I'm from the mid west and my town is traditionally more conservative and slightly southern, with the new generations access to culture from around the world this has changed quite a bit. One thing that hasn't is AWALT. I've known a few girls in my lifetime who I thought didn't fit this but was proven wrong each time.
Explaining the dating scene to my current gf (or virtually any other girl not from there) is like detailing life behind bars, shedding light on that world by saying stuff like "stabbings are normal" "cheating is normal".
I can absolutely see how someone from an insulated, slow-paced part of middle America would find the philosophy behind TRP mostly, if not entirely, perversely alien.
So how do guys go about dating in Miami if all the women are so terrible? Are there still a lot of BP simps there? Or do guys approach dating from a RP point if view, trying to appeal to the hypergamous nature of women and spin as many plates as possible?
As someone who is thinking of moving to Miami before winter comes, I too would like to know more on this topic, /u/dtyler86 and /u/_the_shape_ ...
A lot of settling and/or significantly lengthy droughts are common among guys. When it's firmly established that a preponderance of 6s and 7s often appraise themselves as 8s and 9s down there, the consensus rather quickly becomes one centered on frustration and hopelessness. Ask 10 native guys, each at least in their early 20s, what a "typical Miami girl" is, and watch each of them roll their eyes before speaking their minds.
do guys approach dating from a RP point if view, trying to appeal to the hypergamous nature of women and spin as many plates as possible?
"A sucker born every minute" still applies down there. Lots of dudes end up stepping on land mines, so to speak, learning a thing or two about unchecked, full-blown hypergamy the hard way. I'd say more guys conclude that dating in Miami is a fucking nightmare with the lone solution being to get out of dodge than to go back to the drawing board and figure things out the way TRP counsels.
Thanks for the answer. So what do those Miami girls seek in the dating game then? Free food/drinks from guys? What about sex, there also needs to be some supply of Chads for their ONS needs. Are those guys like all 10's, is it an extremely small pool?
Girls settle down there too, but they constantly keep their eyes wide open for Chad like the rest, and given the general vain, vapid atmosphere, you better believe Chad is a very real thing in Miami. As you may imagine, girls often also frequently bitch about how much Miami's dating scene sucks, and I'd say a lot of that has to do with some combination of a) a wealth of wannabe Chads b) not having access to Chad at all c) getting plowed by Chad, but him refusing to get locked down due to his seemingly unlimited access of hot girls (of which Miami has in spades)
One of the bigger issues with dating in Miami is that a lot of girls there are highly reluctant to get involved with "randoms" (translation: outsiders who can't easily be validated because they don't belong to a social circle they roll with). Think of it as something close to pussy a job that one can really only get through networking or if the resume reflects unequivocal mastery (i.e. tight game and/or very good looking) The average joe gets routinely casually dismissed as well just like the average resume.
At or very near the top of the list of 'demands' that girls want down there primarily boils down to status/social proof, with looks ranking right up there with it.
I don’t live in actual Miami I live about 45 minutes north but I dated a lot of girls from there and the same issue is rampant all the way north to West Palm Beach which is only about an hour away. Basically without sounding arrogant, you have a constant number of plates that you would never even consider dating, your resilience to settling down makes you more attractive and you start to attract better looking plates and with that comes a higher risk of disease, crazies, them having current boyfriends you don’t know about, and then occasionally in my experience, some sweet beautiful girl stumbles upon you and you suddenly feel like you wish you didn’t apply the red pill to her because she doesn’t deserve this harsh and completely overzealous approach to dating that every other girl has molded you into. she’s often a traditional Hispanic girl Who has a very low number of sexual partners and wants a family and children. Then you’ve got gorgeous perfect 10s who you can’t believe are so easily attracted, next day you find out their pornstars and married...
Could not have said it better and that’s pretty hilarious the way you worded that. I think these comments are teaching me that I stand corrected, but the comment about being stabbed, my ex is Columbian in the girl has threatened to like set my a car on fire because of a non-satisfactory number of Instagram likes on her latest photos.
Agreed. I'd love to see people's experiences of nuances of the women and trends per region. The differences are sometimes like Eastern vs Western civilization. Night and Day
That’s what I have heard and I would love to Understand that as well. I almost as a rule do not date American women, and I can say that Scandinavian women are literally from an entirely different planet from south American women. It’s like I can’t even believe they are the same gender.
All women are like that but not all behave like that. I mean i could cheat on my gf, i had chances and my nature is polyamoric. I am attracted to many women but i take the rational decision of faithfulness to make this world a better place. You cant be angry because of hypergamy and women cheating and at the same time behave like them and fuck girls in ltrs. Its just dump. Use your red pill knowledge to make the world a better place
Yup. I always viewed "AWALT" as "all women have the capacity to act like that". Just like most guys have the drive to spread their seed as much as they can, but usually don't do that because they're aware that it's counterproductive in the modern society.
The only difference I'd say is that while guys are expected to keep their sex drives in check, there are very few disincentives stopping women from acting on their hypergamy. And they're actively fighting to make the rules even more favourable to them.
Fuck off. You’re not making the world a better place by “being faithful.” A, nobody really gives a shit except maybe the woman you’re fucking, and B, your moralizing isn’t welcome here.
That’s like saying a man lowering his carbon imprint/donating to charity/actually staying in his child’s life isn’t making the world a better place. Actions have reactions, choices bear consequences, and being a reliable mate most definitely leads to more positive outcomes than being a promiscuous fop
You dont have to agree with me. Its just my view. You can support the decline of humanity or you can take responsibility and change yourself at least. I dont think that anyone who is acting amoral is wrong or a bad person. I respect that
Agreeing with you to say that the word "amoral" makes for some pretty exhausted hamsters around here. Nature is amoral because morality is a social construct. A person can choose to embrace their animal nature and be immoral or choose to be above that and be actually moral. Resisting amoral nature is a moral decision. So choosing to be "amoral" is choosing to be immoral.
Horseshit you respect it. You wouldn't be coming in here telling other men how to live their lives if you did.
He sort of is by not fucking some guys gal screwing up a possible future for the both of them. You are either incredibly privileged or have fucked over many many people in your past and use trp as an excuse to be irrationally amoral.
I have used trp for my benefit, but fucking another man's woman (it's HIS turn) is a douche thing to do and goes against bro code. I wouldn't have you in my circle.
You can bet that even if I were in your circle, you wouldn't know what I do in my private life. But I wouldn't be in the circle of anyone who says "bro code" with a straight face.
Note that I didn't say to fuck another man's girl, nor was I addressing his point about fucking girls in LTRs (though I think that point is bullshit, too).
He was talking about being loyal to his girl. My point is, nobody gives a fuck except maybe that girl. "Making the world a better place" is a bit much when we're talking about one girl possibly having a little bit more comfort in her life.
Two years ago nothing I said would have raised an eyebrow around here. Now we've got a bunch of moralizing faggots who can't wrap their brains around the fact that TRP is about living life on your own terms, TELLING OTHER MEN how they should apply RP knowledge, and it's actually getting upvoted.
Fuck that. Bring on the downvotes, faggots, and don't forget to kiss mommy on the cheek before you lube up her strap-on for her.
You can behave like them. Dating is zerosum so chances are your gf is cheating on you and you're getting the short end of the stick! Noone apart from TRP will pat you on the back for your morality (even tho women get an amoral pass here)
Some women have a very low esteem of themselves. Usually because of bad parenting, childhood, or unfortunate rape victims. They tend to be less aggressively hypergamous, as their insecurities does hold them from taking too much risk. I also found this type of woman to be much more possessive/jealous.
AWALT always adresses natural traits and not actions. i.e. Hyperhamy is adressed by AWALT. Baby trapping is not, although it can be explained by traits adressed by AWALT.
There is no NAWALT in the red pill. Go to purplepilldebate if you are looking for something like that.
ALL women are like that. The club sloot with the huge boobs is like that. The CEO of the Fortune 500 company is like that. The churchgoing virgin is like that. Your own mother is like that. Is there something you're missing here?
The problem with AWALT is that most men can't accept it - even, I suspect, the majority of RP followers. They need to believe that their investment in a LTR can't possibly fail. NAWALT is simply an elaborate denial framework that men use as a security blanket.
Before I took the Redpill, I had full on oneitis for a "church girl" who I thought was the absolute embodiment of perfection. I was a naive highschooler with no experience with women, and I convinced myself she was "the one"
About a year or so of zero progress I knew something was obviously wrong with how I was approaching this. I thought being nice to girls and helping them was supposed to get her to like me? What was up?
I decided to start studying psychology to try a new attempt at "winner her over," but as I progressed I began to realize that not only had I been doing it all wrong, but that:
1) I finally started realizing that she too had flaws (still hard to believe I was this stupid) and with this that
I slowly began Redpilling myself while understanding not only how other humans function psychologically, but also how I function psychologically.
I would say I had reached about 70 percent Redpill status by the time I finally found TRP about 2 months ago. Finding this sub not only completely reinforced what I had come to know, but also expanded much more on what I didn't.
Lo and behold, this summer I found out through a friend she wasn't the innocent little "church girl" I thought she was so many months earlier (which I could have guessed by then). Apparently she can give a pretty decent blowjob lmao.
Lo and behold, this summer I found out through a friend she wasn't the innocent little "church girl" I thought she was so many months earlier (which I could have guessed by then).
I thought I'd found an innocent little church girl too, until I found out she got plowed by a male stripper on top of a pool table at the club he danced in while her fellow church-going friends watched and cheered.
To be fair, Christianity has always been corrupt, so if your argument is that christian girls are innocent, by faith alone they are not.
Nope. My ego investment had clouded my vision, but the anger lit the way to realization that dispersed it like a stiff breeze.
The Reagan High School marching band performs during the 2017 Bands of America San Antonio Super Regional.
Texas routinely features many of the nation’s best high school marching bands, not only because Texas school districts, unlike many of their counterparts around the country, have continued to devote financial resources to music education but also because the marching band is a valued complement to a school’s football team.
Now, thanks to a growing subscription service that livestreams major marching band competitions, followers nationwide are tuning in to watch the state's top high schools perform shows that feature flashy uniforms and flags, elaborate props, and intricate choreography.
Two San Antonio schools – Claudia Taylor Johnson High School and Ronald Reagan High School – are perennial powers in marching band. Both are expected to be among the top contenders at the Bands of America (BOA) Super Regional on Friday and Saturday and at the UIL State Marching Band Championships, which begin Monday and conclude Wednesday.
With 84 bands competing, San Antonio's BOA competition is the second-largest in the nation this year, having expanded from 64 bands last year.
"It's second in size to our Grand National championships, which has 110 bands," said Deborah Laferty Asbill, vice president for marketing and communications for the nonprofit Music For All, which runs BOA contests.
In addition, more than 40 schools have advanced to the state level in just the 6A classification of the UIL competition, with some of the largest 6A bands featuring more than 300 members.
Flower Mound High School, from a suburb of the same name northwest of Dallas, is the defending state UIL champion, while Johnson High won last year's BOA San Antonio contest.
“I think in San Antonio, there has been great support for athletics and extracurriculars for longer than I have lived in Texas,” said Jarrett Lipman, who moved to San Antonio in 2007 from New Jersey and is Johnson's band director. “For decades, the school districts in the area have put such a priority on what we call the 360-degree student. The administrators and the community really want band to be strong and they want athletics to be strong. I just think the tradition has been ingrained in San Antonio.”
Competition judges award scores based on how well a band plays its chosen music and how well it moves throughout its approximately 10-minute program. The BOA judges also score for an area called “general effect” or how well a performance connects with the audience.
Johnson High School Band Director Jarrett Lipman waits as his students prepare to take the field in the 2017 Bands of America San Antonio Super Regional.
The Reagan and Johnson bands, both in the North East Independent School District, were finalists at BOA's Grand Nationals, the nation's largest and most prestigious marching competition featuring 110 bands, in 2016. In the past five years, each has participated in the Tournament of Roses Parade, one of the greatest honors a marching band can achieve. The Reagan band has been invited to march in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2019.
"Texas is definitely known and recognized by music educators throughout the country as really having premier programs," Laferty Asbill said. "Definitely, Texas bands are of a very high caliber and not just marching bands but also program-wide."
Lipman is not alone in organizing the 300 students in the Johnson marching band. He is assisted by a music arranger, drum arranger, a choreographer, and a visual designer, who writes each marching show.
The same is true of the Reagan marching band, where Dan Morrison is part of a team of 10 adults working with 340 members. Morrison is one of three full-time band directors at the school.
Morrison grew up in Illinois as the son of a high school marching band director and played trumpet in his father’s marching band. He said he moved to Texas for the opportunity to work at Reagan, especially because Texas is well known for valuing music education and its marching bands.
After spending most of August learning their music and drill moves, students spend eight hours a week rehearsing during the high school marching season from September through half of November. They also play Friday or Saturday football games and Saturday competitions throughout the fall.
“I think it’s just a really fantastic activity for young people,” Morrison said. “It teaches so many things. It’s a musical outlet. It’s something that is athletic. Performing for big audiences and experiencing that, which is something that most people, not even just kids, but most people never get to experience, ever.
“And there are life lessons of sportsmanship, working together, dedication, responsibility, time management. I think that parents really see the value that this type of activity provides their child.”
Morrison said families make a significant investment – sometimes more than $1,000 a year – to have a student participate in band.
Amid the growing popularity of participating in marching band programs, Music For All is focusing on supporting music education programs in areas where funding is harder to get.
"The growth and overall participation I think is not only lateral but it's also in depth," Laferty Asbill said.
Schools that compete at the highest level of marching band are getting nationwide exposure via FloMarching, an Austin-based live and recorded video streaming service that has attracted a huge following since it launched in August 2016.
FloMarching is part of FloSports, which was founded to provide video coverage for sports that aren't typically televised by mainstream media outlets. There are 24 channels under the FloSports umbrella, with combat sports having the best track record, but FloMarching is expecting to move into the No. 3 spot by the end of November, said Wesley Sullivan, assistant director of rights and partner success.
FloMarching will stream between 65 and 70 competitions this year, including 22 this fall, Sullivan said. Between 4,000 and 7,000 people will stream video from FloMarching each weekend during the fall marching season, he said, and the viewership numbers continue to grow. The average time spent by individual users is a whopping 6.5 hours per visit, according to the livestreaming service.
“That’s a lot of band,” Sullivan said. “We have an incredibly passionate fan base who love watching kids achieve at the highest level and that’s what I attribute our success to. Everyone wants to see these kids succeed and they get a chance to do it every weekend this fall.”
High school marching bands await the announcement of winners at the 2017 Bands of America San Antonio Super Regional at the Alamodome.
Jeremiah Wooten and several of his friends were able to tap into that passion when they were still attending a Tennessee high school six years ago. Wooten and friends founded hornrank.com, a website that publishes its own rankings of what it considers the best high school marching bands nationwide.
Wooten, now a 22-year-old computer science major at the University of Missouri, said the best bands from around the country generally can’t afford to attend the Grand National competition each year and compete head-to-head. So he came up with the idea of ranking them, giving marching band fans a better idea of how they would stack up against one another.
The rankings at Hornrank.com are arrived at using an algorithm that figures in competition results and scores, and a group of voters, much like the coach and media polls used to rank teams in college athletics. Wooten said his group of voters is made up of current and former band directors, band contest judges and band aficionados.
The weekly rankings are eagerly awaited by students and parents involved in marching band and can spark controversy among fervent social media followers.
"Now it’s kind of grown into this thing where if I’m a little later than usual posting the rankings or one of our [competition] predictions, we’ll start getting people tweeting at us asking why it’s taking so long," he said. "It’s kind of neat to see how it has grown and become a thing that people do recognize.”
Six of Hornrank's current top 10 are from Texas, including No. 5 Reagan and No. 6 Johnson. The website's No. 1 marching band in the nation this week is from Tarpon Springs, Florida, but at least half of the top 30 each week usually hail from Texas, Wooten said.
Ticket information for the Bands of America San Antonio Super Regional are available here, and tickets for the UIL State Marching Band Contest can be purchased at the Alamodome box office.
This is an awesome article and thank you for writing it and spreading the word about this incredible activity. I just wanted to point out that in addition to CTJ and Reagan, Churchill has been a regular finalist both at BOA SA and the BOA Grand Nationals. In fact ALL NEISD bands advanced to the Area UIL this year. NEISD bands, with the support of ALL the band directors in our region impart a superior positive impact on thousands of kids year over year. Churchill, Madison, MacArthur and O’Conner will all be performing at BOA in addition to the other fantastic bands from all over the state – huge props to these amazing kids – from every single band! They all pour hundreds and hundreds of hours of work into these performances.
I am so proud of all our champions. They all deserve recognition for all their hard work. Countless hours of practicing and doing homework at wee hours til they finish to keep their grades up. Kudos to all parents who stand behind them encouraging them all the way.

REVIEW: Big Hero 6 | just a cute bookworm
Film Reviews, Pop Culture Commentary and More
just a cute bookworm
This movie is awesome. Go see it.
But actually. For all the complaining I did in my last review, Interstellar about having no people of color, Big Hero 6 had people from all walks of life and it was simply so refreshing.
To be fair, they did race-life many of the characters from the original story to make them be this diverse team, which is another issue in itself. But to see a team of kids (well, young adults if we're being honest and one kid) working together to save the world who are not all printer paper white made me so happy I almost cried.
Well, I mean I did cry, but not over that.
Baymax! – Big Hero 6 Promotional Poster | Image courtesy of Walt Disney Animation
Big Hero 6 focuses on Hiro Hamada (Ryan Potter), a 14 year old robotics genius who wastes his time away in back alley, illegal robot fights in the futuristic city of San Fransokyo. When his older brother, Tadashi (Daniel Henney), pulls him out of a fight and shows him his tech lab at his college, Hiro gets to not only meet his fellow classmates and Tadashi's current project, Baymax (Scott Adsit), but also the influential Professor Callaghan (James Cromwell). This gives Hiro the push to stop robot fighting and put all his energy into getting into the same school his brother goes to. But when an accident occurs that rocks Hiro's life forever, he stumbles across his brother's invention Baymax, and together, they set out to find what really caused the accident.
I hesitate to mention too much of the plot, unlike certain trailers that may give an important aspect away. I walked into the film knowing the fate of a certain character, but they build the connection with that character so strongly that when that thing does happen, it's heartwrenching and awful.
Speaking of characters, they were amazing. As mentioned earlier, BH6 has people of all ethnicities working together to save the world, and they are only defined by their desire to help Hiro and their passion for sciences. After feeling disappointed about how white and male Interstellar was in my last review, this was a welcome change.
It would be impossible to say which character was my favorite. Hiro Hamada (Ryan Potter) acts like any teenager with too much knowledge would, and even when he overreacts and almost gets people hurt, you can tell its from childish innocence and desperation as opposed to straight malice. Tadashi Hamada (Daniel Henney) is a mix of a great mentor, and you can tell from his frustration that he really does care for his brother. The rest of the team, Fred (TJ Miller), GoGO Tomago (Jamie Chung), Wasabi (Damon Wayans, Jr) and Honey Lemon (Génesis Rodríguez) are delightful. They're a wonderful mix of characters that range from incredibly excited for an opportunity to save the world, to being the straight man and wondering aloud how any of this is possible. They build a strong team for Hiro to fight alongside.
Hiro & Baymax | Image courtesy of Walt Disney Animation
Baymax (Scott Adsit), the titular character for this film's release in Japan, of course, stole the show. He's both lovable and squishy, and you just want to reach into the screen and hug him. Programmed by Tadashi to be a health care companion, his main focus towards Hiro is making sure he's in a good frame of mind, regardless to what situation it may put Baymax in. Watching the relationship grow between them and watching Baymax slowly learn to understand human customs tugged at many a heartstring in my theater. Although he may look it, he is much more than a mascot character and is truly the heart of the team.
This story is both fun for children and adults, young and old. Whether you're excited about another superhero movie (and glad that there's slightly a twist towards the formula), you're just looking for an action/adventure film, or you want to see how incredibly smart robotics kids when there's the opportunity to build a superhero team, definitely check this out. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll wish you had your own Baymax laying around.
ALSO! Make sure to stick around for the after credits scene! It rounds out a joke from earlier in the film.
Big Hero 6 was released on Friday, November 7th, 2014. Run time is 102 minutes.

Mayo Clinic Staff Sing 'Amazing Grace' For Dying Patient
Northwest Wisconsin Man To Compete On 'The Voice'
Chris Kroeze is a musician that's from Barron, Wisconsin and will be competing on the upcoming season of NBC's 'The Voice.'
This is really the funniest video I've seen in quite some time. I've watched it about a dozen times and I still laugh each time. This video shows what it's like when you're singing with your headphones on in public. It's what you think you sound like, vs what you really sound like. There are some pretty great reactions from the crowd as well.
Cathy Gets Embarrassed
Cathy hates attention on her birthday, so naturally every year I make a big deal out of it. Last night we had the Kenny Chesney / Jason Aldean ticket drop party at Timberlodge Steakhouse. Cathy and her family and friends joined us to celebrate her birthday, and I made sure the staff sang to her.
How cool is this? Think about it, you're anticipating a L O N G boring airline flight. All of a sudden, you're world is filled with good karma and the incredible sounds from a Lion King Cast singing the "Circle of Life". I think what makes this so AMAZING is that it's out of it's element.

"Guided By Nature" | Montessori Congress 2013
"Guided By Nature"
Portland, Oregon, nestled within the American Pacific Northwest, is a region known for both its rich biodiversity and vibrant Montessori community. Here the study of volcanoes and old growth trees runs in tandem with Dr. Montessori's teachings of a child's capacity to explore and study nature.
The 2013 International Montessori Congress allowed us to look closer at how Montessori education is guided by children's natural development and how that growth fosters a respectful relationship with the environment. The Congress theme, "Montessori: Guided By Nature," took root in that dynamic relationship and celebrated that we are all uniquely tied to the physical and ecological makeup of our surroundings.
The 27th International Montessori Congress aimed to feature presentations from speakers in diverse professional fields. Presenters, however, shared common attributes: They were eager to explore the implications of Montessori education within their respective professions; they could transform ideas into action; and they were passionate about exploring and expounding upon the Congress theme, "Montessori: Guided By Nature."
Attendees experienced the Congress programming as a cohesive narrative that unfurled over the four-day event. Using the publication The Child, Society, and the World: Unpublished Speeches and Writings (Montessori 1989) as inspiration, each day of the 2013 Congress was thematically structured.
Wednesday, July 31st, 2013 – "Origins and Potential"
Thursday, August 1st, 2013 – "The Natural Child"
Friday, August 2nd, 2013 – "Society and Nature"
Saturday, August, 3rd, 2013 – "Our World, Our Legacy"
Together, the 2013 International Montessori Congress "Guided By Nature" invigorated educational passion, fostered new and old friendships, and reignited Dr. Montessori's spark in those who practice her method around the world.

"God's Mighty Servant" Film Featured at FORMED.org during June
"Jesus said to them, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you . . . He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him'" (John 6:53-56). Many of Christ's followers left because they could not accept this teaching. May we as Catholics allow the gift of the Eucharist to unite our thoughts, deeds, and very selves with Jesus who, through the Eucharist, abides in us.
Here are some featured resources during June at FORMED.org:
Presence: The Mystery of the Eucharist – This study series explores the truth and beauty of Christ's real presence in the Eucharist, from its origins in Sacred Scripture, to its profound role in the life of the Church and her members. It is the crescendo of the entire story of salvation.
True Worship – In this audio file, Father Michael Schmitz makes sure that you have a deeper and more profound experience of the Mass.
God's Mighty Servant – a film about Sister Pascalina Lehnert, one of the most trusted women to ever serve in the Vatican. Watch her life unfold during the events of World War II.

Chattanooga joins startup week for entrepreneurs in October | Chattanooga Times Free Press
Chattanooga joins startup week for entrepreneurs in October
August 20th, 2014 | by Mitra Malek
Drew Belz, Brian Gillikin, Bethany Mollenkof and Isaiah Smallman, from left, work at Fancy Rhino in the Lamp Post Group.
• What: Information session on inaugural Chattanooga Startup Week, to be held Oct. 6-10.
• When: Thursday, 5:30 p.m.
• Where: Lamp Post Group community room, 800 Market St., Chattanooga
It stands to reason that lots of skilled minds sharing information will do better than a few of those minds working in isolation.
That's the underpinning of Startup Weeks that rolled out in recent years from Boulder to Seattle, Austin to Minneapolis.
It also is the philosophy guiding Startup Week Chattanooga, which debuts Oct. 6-10. The event will showcase the city's startup community in ways that budding entrepreneurs can learn from each other, and wherein the public can learn from them as well.
"We want meaningful takeaways," said Tia Capps, spokeswoman for The Company Lab, the nonprofit better known as Co.Lab, one of several Startup Week Chattanooga sponsors.
To that end, an information session on the October event is scheduled Thursday at 5:30 p.m. at Lamp Post Group, the Chattanooga venture fund, which is another sponsor.
Attendees can expect to learn about the vision behind Startup Week and how to host an event for it, from panel talks to educational mixers.
Startup Week made it to the Scenic City after Tiffanie Robinson of Lamp Post Group and Paige Southard of River City Co., the nonprofit downtown Chattanooga development company, checked out Startup Week in Denver.
"It was very content driven," Southard said. "You walked out of there with value, whether it was an inspirational talk or how to create front-end code. It was very learning focused."
Chattanooga wants business diversity for its event, so don't expect only tech startups. Plans also call for including budding companies that focus on social issues and building community, as well as creative matters. Think Causeway, Glass House Collective and the Unfoundation, groups "that are using this entrepreneurial and startup model for what has traditionally been nonprofit and philanthropic activity," said Meghan O'Dea of Lamp Post Group.
"We wanted to really encompass the full breadth of the startups that are in Chattanooga's entrepreneurial ecosystem," O'Dea said. "To give a place to startups that might not be included in town around tech."
Startup Week will feature the first Chattanooga Mini Maker Faire, Oct. 11, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Organizers are seeking interactive exhibits that highlight the process of making things. They can include automated electronics, sustainability projects or large-scale art. You need not be a professional to be included. Tech enthusiasts, crafters, tinkerers, hobbyists and artists of all ages can submit projects.
The deadline for applications, which must be completed online, is Aug. 28.
"We'd love to see more content submitted by the community," said Graham Bredemeyer, Chattanooga Mini Maker Faire's director.
Dozens of "makers" are already slated to participate, from a dad who crafted a tool to teach his children how to ride a bike, to a young entrepreneur who created electronic clothing to react to the environment, according to local event organizers.
For more information see, makerfairechattanooga.com. The family event will be at the First Tennessee Pavilion.
The original Maker Faire was held in San Mateo, Calif., in 2004. In 2012 it featured 800 makers and 110,000 attendees, according to Chattanooga organizers.

How to Revoke a Prenuptial Agreement | Legal Beagle
By: Cynthia Chen
How to Draft an Amendment to a Settlement Agreement
••• marriage proposal image by studio vision1 from Fotolia.com
How to Amend a Purchase Agreement
How to Amend a Durable Power of Attorney
A prenuptial agreement, also known as an antenuptial or premarital agreement, is a written contract agreed upon by a couple prior to marriage. The agreement specifies how the husband and wife will share each other's assets, future income and property, as well as how ownership will be divided in the event of a divorce. They are especially common among couples in which one or both of the partners possess substantial assets. As with other legal contracts, the parties may later find that the terms of the prenuptial agreement no longer represent their best interests. The law supports revocation of a prenuptial agreement so long as certain conditions are met.
Discuss concerns about the existing agreement with your partner, such as the status of the relationship and financial and familial goals. Outline each other's grievances, and agree upon revocation of the existing prenuptial agreement.
Contact an attorney. Decide whether you and your partner would like to modify the existing agreement, thus revoking it and contracting to the new agreement, or revoke the existing agreement completely. Specify the terms of revocation, such as time frame.
Draft a new prenuptial agreement or a document requesting revocation of the existing agreement. In the presence of your attorney, sign the new document and have your partner sign it as well.
If the prenuptial agreement is deemed as unconscionable or seen as greatly favoring one party over the other, a court may render it unenforceable.

The present application claims priority of U.S. provisional applications, Ser. No. 60/373,932, filed Apr. 19, 2002 by McMahon for VEHICLE IMAGING SYSTEM (Attorney Docket DON01 P-974); and Ser. No. 60/376,508, filed Apr. 30, 2002 by Bingle for VEHICLE LICENSE PLATE BRACKET (Attorney Docket DON01 P-985), which are hereby incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.[0001]
The present invention relates to a vehicle imaging system and, more particularly, to a vehicle imaging system useful for a backup or reverse aid to the driver of a vehicle. The present invention is also related to a bracket for mounting an imaging sensor at an exterior portion, such as a rearward portion, of a vehicle. [0002]
It is known to provide an imaging system for a vehicle which functions to provide a rearward view of the vehicle to a driver via a display within the vehicle. Such systems function to assist a driver in backing up a vehicle to a trailer or otherwise positioning or parking the vehicle at a desired location. However, such systems include a display which is typically a video screen which may be expensive to manufacture and implement with the imaging system. [0003]
The present invention is intended to provide a low cost backup or reverse aid for a vehicle. The reverse aid provides a dot matrix type display which displays a simplified or iconistic representation of a vehicle bumper and/or other portion of the vehicle and any objects detected exteriorly of the vehicle. The present invention is also intended to provide a bracket for mounting an imaging sensor at an exterior or rearward portion of a vehicle in a manner which is not intrusive to the exterior or rearward portion of the vehicle. [0004]
According to an aspect of the present invention, a vehicle imaging system includes an imaging sensor, an image processing system or image processor and a display. The image processor may receive a signal or image from the imaging sensor and may process the signal to detect at least one relevant object, such as the vehicle bumper and/or any object or objects near or approaching the vehicle or the vehicle bumper. The image processor may provide for edge detection of an object or objects via an edge detection algorithm or the like. The detected objects are then represented as simple, line or iconistic representations on the display, which may be a low cost dot matrix type display or the like. [0005]
The present invention is especially suitable for use during a trailer hitching operation, where the vehicle is moved toward a trailer for connection thereto. In such operations, the driver cannot clearly view the hitch of the trailer as the vehicle is backing up. The display of the present invention provides a general representation of the hitch of the vehicle and the hitch of the trailer as lines in the display, whereby the driver may control or maneuver the vehicle to align the lines or icons with one another. Preferably, the imaging system of the present invention may provide an indication to the driver of the vehicle when the hitches are aligned, such as via flashing the lines or icons in the display or any other means for indicating the alignment to the driver. [0006]
According to another aspect of the present invention, a vehicle imaging system comprises an imaging sensor having a field of view, an image processor and a display. The imaging sensor is operable to generate a signal indicative of an image representative of a scene occurring within the field of view. The image processor processes the signal to detect at least one relevant object within the image. The image processor generates an output signal representative of the at least one detected relevant object. The output signal comprises at least one iconistic representation of the at least one detected relevant object. The display is operable to display the at least one iconistic representation of the at least one detected relevant object. [0007]
The display may comprise a dot matrix display. The image processor may provide edge detection of objects via an edge detection algorithm or the like. The display may then provide iconistic representations of the detected edges of the at least one relevant object within the image. [0008]
The imaging system may display at least one iconistic representation of an exterior vehicle portion, such as a trailer hitch of the vehicle, and at least one target object, such as the hitch of a trailer, as separate icons in the display. The display may provide an indication to the driver of the vehicle when the icons representing the vehicle portion and the target object are generally aligned. The display may provide such an indication via flashing the icons in the display. [0009]
The imaging system may be operable to determine a distance between the vehicle and the at least one detected relevant object. The imaging system may be operable to determine the distance in response to a speed at which the at least one detected relevant object moves across the image and a speed of the vehicle. [0010]
According to another aspect of the present invention, a method of aligning an exterior portion of a vehicle with a target object exteriorly of the vehicle comprises providing an imaging sensor having a field of view exteriorly of a vehicle and including an exterior portion of the vehicle and at least one target object exteriorly of the vehicle. The imaging sensor generates a signal indicative of an image representative of a scene occurring within the field of view exteriorly of the vehicle. An image processor is provided for processing the signal to detect the exterior portion of the vehicle and the target object within the image. The image processor generates an output signal representative of the exterior portion of the vehicle and the target object. The output signal comprises at least one iconistic representation of the exterior portion of the vehicle and the target object. The at least one iconistic representation of the exterior portion of the vehicle and the target object are displayed at a display. The vehicle is driven or maneuvered to align the at least one iconistic representation of the exterior portion of the vehicle in the display with the at least one iconistic representation of the target object in the display. [0011]
According to another aspect of the present invention, an imaging sensor bracket for mounting an imaging sensor to a vehicle includes a mounting portion adapted to be mounted to a license plate mounting hole on a vehicle and a sensor mounting portion extending from the vehicle mounting portion. The sensor mounting portion is angled with respect to the vehicle mounting portion of the bracket such that the sensor mounting portion extends generally rearwardly and generally horizontally when the vehicle mounting portion is fastened to the license plate mounting hole on the vehicle. The sensor mounting portion is adapted to mount or receive an imaging sensor thereon. [0012]
The imaging sensor may be an imaging array sensor and may be operable to receive an image of a scene occurring generally rearwardly of the vehicle. The imaging sensor bracket may include a cover which substantially contains the imaging sensor at the sensor mounting portion of the bracket. The cover may provide an opening through which the imaging sensor receives the image of the scene. The cover may be a plastic material and may snap onto the sensor mounting portion of the bracket to substantially enclose the imaging sensor within the cover. [0013]
The present invention thus provides an imaging system which is operable to analyze an image of a scene exteriorly of the vehicle and to extract from the sensor or camera the relevant portions of the image. The portions are then displayed as iconistic representations of the objects or portions of the scene, such as simple lines or icons in a dot matrix type display within the vehicle. The driver of the vehicle may view the iconistic representations on the display and control the vehicle accordingly, such as to avoid an object or to align an object, such as a trailer, with the vehicle. [0014]
These and other objects, advantages, purposes and features of the present invention will become apparent upon review of the following specification in conjunction with the drawings.[0015]

Referring now to the drawings and the illustrative embodiments depicted therein, a vehicle imaging system [0025] 10 includes an image sensor or camera 12, an image processing system or image processor 14 and a display 16 (FIGS. 1 and 2). The image processing system 14 receives an input or signal from a single camera or multiple cameras positioned at a portion of a vehicle 11, such as at an exterior portion of the vehicle, such as at a rearward exterior portion 11 a of the vehicle 11. The camera 12 is operable to capture an image of a scene exteriorly, and preferably rearwardly, of the vehicle. The camera may be any known camera or image sensor, such as an imaging array sensor, such as a CMOS sensor or CCD sensor, such as described in commonly assigned U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,550,677; 6,097,023 and 5,796,094, which are hereby incorporated herein by reference. The image processing system is operable to process the image or signal received from the camera. The display is then operable to display or show an iconistic representation or an outline or line representation of the vehicle's bumper and an iconistic representation or an outline or line representation of any object or objects or obstacles detected by the image processing system.
Optionally, the image processing system may process the image with an edge detection algorithm or process. Using an edge detection algorithm or process allows for differentiation between oil spots and three dimensional objects (including pot holes), as discussed below. Examples of such edge detection algorithms are disclosed in commonly assigned U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,313,454 and 6,353,392, which are hereby incorporated herein by reference. [0026]
Optionally, the display may comprise a multi-pixel, dot matrix type of display, such as a VF display or the like. Such a display may provide a low cost display which provides a representation of the objects, but does not include additional details which are not necessary or important to the driver when backing up or otherwise controlling or maneuvering the vehicle. [0027]
An example of the iconistic representation of a scene or image as shown on the display [0028] 16 of imaging system 10 is shown in FIG. 3. An iconistic or line representation 18 of the vehicle's bumper is shown at the top portion of the display screen and an iconistic or line representation 20 of an object or obstacle is shown at the lower right of the display screen. As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, for trailer hitching processes or situations, the vehicle's hitch may be shown as a simple line or iconistic representation 18 a extending rearwardly from the bumper representation 18 of the vehicle, while the trailer's hitch or tongue may be shown as another line or iconistic representation 19 extending from the trailer.
As shown in FIG. 4A, the hitches, and thus the iconistic representations [0029] 18 a, 19 of the hitches, may not be aligned as the vehicle approaches the trailer.
As the vehicle moves closer to the trailer hitch, the icons or lines [0030] 18 a, 19 approach one another on the display. The driver may steer or drive or maneuver the vehicle to generally align the icons or lines or outlines representative of the hitches. When the vehicle is in or is approaching the right area or spot for hitching or connecting to the trailer hitch, the display may flash the lines or otherwise indicate that the two icons or lines are aligned to indicate that the hitches are at least generally aligned. FIG. 4B shows the icons 18 a, 19 as being aligned, thereby indicating that the hitches are at least generally aligned and in or near the hitch position. At this point the display may flash one or both iconistic representations or otherwise indicate alignment of the hitches to the driver of the vehicle.
The imaging system of the present invention may also provide for a distance measurement between objects and the vehicle. The distance from the vehicle to a detected object may be determined using a combination of vehicle speed and motion of the object through the sensor range or field of view. To determine the height of an object or distance between the sensor and the object once the object is detected, the system may determine how quickly the object moves through the sensor range or field of view as compared to the speed of the vehicle. An object on or near the ground will be at or near the widest part [0031] 13 a of a cone or field of sight or view 13 of sensor or camera 12 (FIG. 5), whereas a higher object will be at a narrower part or upper portion 13 b of the cone or field of sight or view 13. When a stationary object (such as, for example, a skateboard 22 or the like, such as shown in FIG. 5) is on the ground, the leading edge of the object will move more slowly through the sensor range (as the vehicle is moved) than the edge of another object that is a few feet above the ground (such as the bumper of a truck 24). The imaging system of the present invention may then be operable to determine or calculate a height of the detected object in response to the speed of the vehicle and the speed at which the object moves through the range of the sensor or camera. The imaging system may thus determine the distance from the vehicle or from the sensor to the detected object based on the height determination of the object and location of the object within the captured image. The imaging system may then indicate the distance to the driver of the vehicle and may indicate a warning or alert if the distance is within a threshold distance.
Therefore, the present invention provides a camera or image sensor, an image processing system or device and a display (such as a simple dot matrix display, which may be a display-on-demand type of display) for a back up or reversing aid or trailer hitching aid for a vehicle, or for any other vehicle vision system. The display may be part of an interior rearview mirror assembly, and may include a display-on-demand (DOD) type of display (such as disclosed in commonly assigned U.S. pat. application Ser. No. 10/054,633, filed Jan. 22, 2002 by Lynam et al. for VEHICULAR LIGHTING SYSTEM (Attorney Docket DON01 P-962), and/or in commonly assigned U.S. pat. application Ser. No. 09/793,002, entitled VIDEO MIRROR SYSTEMS INCORPORATING AN ACCESSORY MODULE, filed Feb. 26, 2001 (Attorney Docket No. DON01 P-869), and/or in commonly assigned U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,668,663 and 5,724,187, which are all hereby incorporated by reference herein), which may comprise two displays located in the mirror assembly. [0032]
The imaging system of the present invention may be suitable for use with other imaging systems of the vehicle or may utilize principles or aspects of such other systems, such as a video mirror system, such as disclosed in commonly assigned U.S. pat. application Ser. No. 09/793,002, filed on Feb. 26, 2001 by Schofield et al., entitled VIDEO MIRROR SYSTEMS INCORPORATING AN ACCESSORY MODULE (Attorney Docket No. DON01 P-869); and Ser. No. 09/585,379, filed Jun. 1, 2000 for REARVIEW MIRROR ASSEMBLY WITH UTILITY FUNCTIONS (Attorney Docket No. DON01 P-817), which are hereby incorporated herein by reference, or an exterior imaging system, such as a rear vision system utilizing a mirror mounted or vehicle mounted camera, such as disclosed in commonly assigned U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,959,367; 5,929,786; 5,949,331; 5,914,815; 5,786,772; 5,798,575; 5,670,935; 6,175,164; 6,198,409; 6,201,642 and/or 6,222,447, and/or in commonly assigned U.S. pat. application Ser. No. 09/199,907, filed Nov. 25, 1998, entitled WIDE ANGLE IMAGE CAPTURE SYSTEM FOR VEHICLES (Attorney Docket DON01 P-676); Ser. No. 10/010,862, filed Dec. 6, 2001, entitled PLASTIC LENS SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE IMAGING SYSTEM (Attorney Docket DON01 P-954), and/or Ser. No. 09/372,915, filed Aug. 12, 1999, entitled VEHICLE IMAGING SYSTEM WITH STEREO IMAGING, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,396,397 (Attorney Docket DON08 P-742), which are all hereby incorporated herein by reference in their entireties. [0033]
Although shown and described as being suitable for viewing and displaying images representative of a scene occurring exteriorly of the vehicle, such as rearwardly of the vehicle, it is envisioned that the imaging system of the present invention may be equally suitable for use as an interior imaging system for viewing and displaying images representative of scenes occurring interiorly of the vehicle. For example, the imaging system may capture images of scenes occurring within the cabin of the vehicle or within the trunk compartment or other interior compartment of the vehicle or the like, and may display iconistic representations of occupants and/or objects within the cabin or trunk of the vehicle. [0034]
Referring now to FIGS. [0035] 6-8, a mounting bracket 110 for imaging sensor 12 is mountable at the license plate mounting area 22 of vehicle 11. As shown in FIGS. 6-8, mounting bracket 110 includes a vehicle mounting portion or flange 118 and an imaging sensor mounting portion or flange 120. Mounting bracket 110 may comprise a metal or plastic bracket. Mounting bracket 110 provides a generally centrally located mounting area for imaging sensor 12 which does not require modification of the rear portion or panel 11 a of vehicle 11.
Vehicle mounting portion [0036] 118 is a generally flat or planar plate with at least one mounting hole 118 a therethrough. The mounting hole 118 a is adapted to receive a license plate mounting fastener therethrough to retain mounting bracket 110 to the vehicle 11. Vehicle mounting portion 118 may include a pair of mounting holes 118 a at opposite ends of the vehicle mounting portion for securing the bracket 110 to the vehicle by both of the license plate fasteners of the vehicle 11.
Imaging sensor mounting portion [0037] 120 extends from vehicle mounting portion 118, such as upwardly and generally rearwardly form vehicle mounting portion 118 when vehicle mounting portion 118 is mounted to the vehicle. In the illustrated embodiment, sensor mounting portion 120 includes a pair of fastening openings 120 a for mounting or receiving imaging sensor 12. The imaging sensor 12 may be mounted to sensor mounting portion 120 via any fastening means, such as screws, bolts, tape (whereby the fastening openings may not be necessary) or the like, without affecting the scope of the present invention. Sensor mounting portion 120 may also include a passageway 120 b for the vehicle wiring harness to pass through to provide power and control to the imaging sensor 12. The angle at which sensor mounting portion 120 extends from vehicle mounting portion 118 may be selected depending on the particular vehicle, the type of imaging system associated with the imaging sensor, and/or the desired viewing angle of the imaging sensor.
As shown in FIG. 9, a cosmetic cover [0038] 122 may be provided which snaps on or is otherwise secured to sensor mounting portion 120 to substantially encase or contain the imaging sensor 12. For example, cover 122 may include a plurality of flexible tabs 124 which may snap around the perimeter edges of the sensor mounting portion 120 (or which may snap within or through slots or the like in the sensor mounting portion) to retain cover 122 to the sensor mounting portion 120 of mounting bracket 10. Cover 122 includes an aperture or opening 126 through which the imaging sensor 12 receives the image of the rearward scene. Cover 122 provides an improved appearance to the bracket and imaging sensor and may provide additional protection to the imaging sensor by reducing the exposure of the imaging sensor to adverse weather conditions or impact with objects or the like. However, because the license plate mounting areas of most vehicles is a recessed area at a rear (or front) portion of the vehicle, the imaging sensor is already positioned in an area where it is substantially protected from exposure and impact.
Mounting bracket [0039] 110 may thus be mounted to an existing vehicle, such as an aftermarket installation, by removing the license plate fasteners, placing the vehicle mounting portion 118 at the vehicle so as to align the mounting holes 118 a with the threaded holes in the license plate mounting area 22 of the vehicle 11, and then inserting the license plate fasteners through the license plate holes and the mounting holes 118 a and securing the fasteners back into their threaded holes at the license plate mounting area of the vehicle. Preferably, the mounting holes 118 a are slotted to ease alignment with the threaded holes at the license plate mounting area of the vehicle. The mounting portion 118 of mounting bracket 110 may be placed between the license plate mounting area of the vehicle and the license plate of the vehicle, such that the mounting portion 18 is not visible or noticeable. The sensor mounting portion 120 may extend generally rearwardly from the mounting portion 118 to position the imaging sensor 12 immediately rearward of the license plate of the vehicle and generally above or at an upper region of the license plate.
The imaging sensor mounted to bracket [0040] 110 may comprise an imaging array sensor, such as a CMOS sensor or a CCD sensor or the like, such as disclosed in commonly assigned U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,550,677; 5,670,935; and 5,796,094, which are hereby incorporated herein by reference. Because the mounting bracket of the present invention may provide a central mounting position of the imaging sensor, the imaging sensor mounted to the mounting bracket may be particularly suitable for use in rearward vision systems, such as reverse or backup aids, such as the imaging system 10 described above, or such as other imaging or vision systems utilizing the principles disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,550,677; 5,670,935; and 6,201,642, and/or in U.S. pat. application Ser. No. 09/199,907, filed Nov. 25, 1998 by Bos et al. for WIDE ANGLE IMAGE CAPTURE SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE (Attorney Docket DON01 P-676), and/or in U.S. provisional application Ser. No. 60/373,972, filed Apr. 19, 2002 by McMahon for VEHICLE IMAGING SYSTEM (Aftorney Docket DON01 P-974), which are all hereby incorporated herein by reference. However, the imaging sensor may be implemented and operated in connection with various other vehicular systems, such as a forwardly directed vehicle vision system (if the mounting bracket is mounted at a forward license plate mounting area), a lane departure warning system, a system for determining a distance to a trailing (or leading) vehicle or object, such as using the principles disclosed in U.S. pat. application Ser. No. 09/372,915, filed Aug. 12, 1999 by Bos et al. for VEHICLE IMAGING SYSTEM WITH STEREO IMAGING, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,396,397 (Attorney Docket DON08 P-742), which is hereby incorporated herein by reference, a rain sensor, such as the types disclosed in commonly assigned U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,353,392; 6,313,454; and/or 6,320,176, which are hereby incorporated herein by reference, and/or the like, without affecting the scope of the present invention.
Therefore, the mounting bracket of the present invention provides for a generally concealed mount for an imaging sensor, without requiring any modification to the structure of the vehicle. The mounting bracket of the present invention may simply mount to the vehicle by removing the existing license plate, placing the bracket over the license plate mounting hole pattern, placing the license plate over the bracket and screwing the plate screws back into the license plate mounting holes. The imaging sensor or camera is mounted on the upper flange or portion of the bracket by screws, mounting tape or other mounting methods. The angle of the flange can be adjusted to meet the specific needs of the vehicle and/or vision system. [0041]
The present invention thus may provide a supplemental mounting scheme for vehicles that are being retrofitted with a reverse aid, tow check or other camera system. The mounting bracket thus may provide a suitable or optimal mounting position for an imaging sensor for installations on vehicles which do not have a location available on the vehicle that is suitable for mounting a camera which will perform as expected. [0042]
Because most camera or imaging systems or applications require the camera to be mounted on the vehicle centerline for optimum camera functionality, the mounting bracket of the present invention provides a mounting location on the centerline for desired results, even on vehicles that may not have space available on or at or near the vehicle center to mount a camera. By mounting the bracket partially behind the license plate, the present invention provides a mostly hidden bracket/image sensor assembly, which also hides the wire harness which may be routed out from behind the license plate. The mounting bracket of the present invention also eliminates the need to drill holes in the sheet metal of the vehicle, which is important, since most people are not comfortable drilling holes or having holes drilled in their vehicle. A cosmetic cover can be applied for an even more clean and appealing appearance to the image sensor of the camera system of the vehicle. [0043]
Changes and modifications in the specifically described embodiments may be carried out without departing from the principles of the present invention, which is intended to be limited only by the scope of the appended claims, as interpreted according to the principles of patent law. [0044]

What It Means To Grieve Mindfully, According To A Death Doula | mindbodygreen
I'm A Death Doula — Here's What It Means To Grieve Mindfully & Why It Matters
Grief doesn't start with loss. It starts with love.
The thing about grief is that it does not mark the end of love—grief is love, just in new skin. It's how you show love for something or someone you have been separated from. We have some modern misconceptions about grief, and by clearing them up, we can be empowered to live more fulfilling lives.
4 common misconceptions about grief:
Grief is something you just get over. No, grief is forever woven into the fabric of your life.
Grief is something you come back from unchanged. Actually, grief is designed to undo, and therefore, transform. You will forever be changed by grief.
Grief follows a certain path. In reality, grief is completely unique and takes many forms. Though patterns have been identified in the grieving process, it cannot be organized into an outlined process.
Grief is a burden to your friends and family. It may feel this way, but grief is actually an invitation for deeper bonds to be built through the process. It is not meant to be done in private—it requires witnessing and has always been held within a community, not alone.
Why we have forgotten how to grieve.
In modern Western-dominant culture, many of us have forgotten how to grieve, and we isolate grievers by not creating safe spaces for them to feel deeply. Most people don't feel qualified in supporting a grieving loved one and worry they may say the wrong thing. This can keep people away from those who need them the most.
There is also a significant pressure to "be happy" and to find a "growth opportunity" in every tragedy. This is often referred to as toxic positivity, and it can cause us to wrap our feelings of sorrow in a layer of shame and guilt.
Strengthening our ability to grieve and to feel the depth of our sorrow is an essential piece of the recovery journey. That's the irony of the thing: Grief is the medicine for our sorrows. It provides the balm for our aching hearts, shows us the way forward, and allows us to heal. But, first, we must come into the right relationship with our sadness. We must come with respect and reverence to our grief, and we must tend to it with the same curiosity and care that we used when tending to our love.
How to grieve mindfully.
Mindfulness is one powerful way to relearn how to grieve. Not only is mindfulness a tool for living with loss, but it also has a lot in common with grief.
Grief, like mindfulness, is a practice. Think about how much effort it took the first time you ever sat down to meditate. You probably experienced significant distraction, self-judgment, discomfort, and the strong questioning of why you were there in the first place. This is similar to grief.
Grief, like mindfulness, starts off requiring a lot from you. It is overwhelming, uncomfortable, and effortful. Through these ebbs and flows, both practices need tending through your entire life.
Grief, like mindfulness, is not something you accomplish or something you can complete. It is something that you build a long-term relationship with. At times it may feel like a hurricane, and other times, it will feel like a gentle spring breeze.
How does mindful grieving support healing?
Mindfulness weaves together presence, acceptance, and intention. By integrating this into your work with grief, you will lay a strong foundation that will continue to anchor and nourish you, even in the hard times.
Presence can be strengthened through practices of embodiment, including movement practices, like qigong, yoga, mindful walking, body scanning, and breathwork. By safely anchoring into the physical body, you're learning to find a place of security within, even when the world around you feels unstable.
Acceptance is another huge piece of mindfulness and can offer powerful healing through grief. Practicing self-compassion and nonjudgment is an ongoing skill. This can be done through presence practices like meditation, and it can also be done through practices of expression.
Freehand writing is an important tool when moving through hard times. That is, writing without editing, not to read but to release and give voice to your emotions. Other expressive art forms, like singing, painting, and even speaking, can also be beneficial.
Intention invites you to be thoughtful about the way you show up to the table: What are you doing here? What is your grief asking of you? How involved in your pain and your healing are you willing or able to be? What are you expecting from this, and what are you willing to give to the process?
Lastly, and specific to working with grief, is the importance of community. Grief ritual is potent support for everyone who grieves small and significant deaths throughout their lives. Creating a safe space to be held and for others to help carry the pain of grief provides connection and serves as a reminder of humanity.
It confronts the reality of life and death, and when we allow ourselves to be held by others, we have the opportunity to release completely and to heal deeply.

Today I’ve been preparing for a Worship Department meeting. I’ve been going over my notes and things I want to be sure to cover for tonight, as well as studying for the devotion that begins the meeting. What I went over last time is also what I’m going over tonight, but from a slightly different perspective. It’s neat to go back to the day two years ago, read the devotion I gave before, and see just how uniquely different the thoughts are evolving.
The last time we had the meeting I went over 1 Timothy 4. I covered not neglecting the gift God gave you and working toward godliness, which is still very appropriate. Actually, I blogged about it at about the same time. Check it out. But this time things are coming at me from a different light.
We’re going through a new thing, uncharted areas. It’s probably why God is teaching me other truths in His Word as I read the same passage again.
God has been working in our church family in many different ways. One of the biggest ways is that we’re growing numerically. That’s very visible. Things are getting crowded. Another thing I’ve noticed, which is what I’m really excited about, is that they are people hungry for the Truth. Our recent topics have been about how to live Christian in a sexy world, mostly dealing with having relationships that are godly and that pursue purity and godliness. These messages have been so meaningful to a world filled with hurting relationship. And I’ve been encouraged by them.
But what I’ve noticed the most is that God has been working in me. Please understand, I’m not trying to sound prideful in this or anything. I’ve noticed how I’ve been viewing things differently than before. My outlook or perspective on things have changed. There’s also an enormous warning in it for me that God seems to be throwing in my face over and over again the past few days. And that’s what I’m going to talk about.
1 Timothy 4 also mentions throwing yourself into the doctrine and teaching, the pursuit of godliness that we are to have. Paul was telling Timothy to give it his all in his pursuit of godliness, his teaching, his identifying the difference between lies and the Truth. He was to take pains in it. Of course all this was to begin with nourishing himself with words of faith and sound doctrine.
Nourishing yourself requires one to go to where the water and food is. Sounds simple enough, and yet for some reason, we don’t do it often enough.
Taking pains and being absorbed in exercising the gift God has given me sounds difficult. But taking pains to do it is going to be difficult, so what else should I expect?
The truth is, I know where to find the nourishment. I’ve been going to the watering hole. I’ve gone to Christ’s buffet of spiritual food. I’ve been exercising and working on growing the gift God has given me. It’s the passage at the end that sticks out.
Huge warning! If I don’t pay close attention, I might jeopardize instead ensure. But God has shown us what’s expected of us.
In ministry there’s always a danger of pride creeping in and taking over. We like to build a tower or monument to ourselves in order to show other churches how it’s done. We do the things we know we should and stop paying close attention. We get overly excited and let important things fall off our plate. Thus we begin building the tower. Thus the danger. That’s when God begins to act toward us a little differently.
Another passage that God laid on my heart in preparation is Genesis 11 and the account of the Tower of Babel. The people were consumed with themselves to the point of making a name for themselves by literally building a tower to a heaven they thought they could reach on their own. They even left the command of God to fill the earth and stayed in one place. God came down and brought confusion. God scattered them. And they couldn’t understand each other. Their language was changed.
Church! How good we’ve become at building our own tower! How good we’ve become at ignoring the commission of God to make disciples and go to the ends of the earth with the gospel message!
This wasn’t the only time God scattered people in order to fulfill His command. He scattered the church as well! He brought persecution on them. God forbid that it happens to us! But if we are guilty of ignoring His message, why would we expect anything different? We’ve grown comfortable. We’ve got nice towers and monuments that we thing reaches to heaven. What we don’t realize is that we’re falling into the trap of the devil himself.
When we attempt to make a name for ourselves instead glorify the Name above all names, God comes and brings confusion. Isn’t it His Name we are to be praising? Isn’t it His Name we are to seek? Isn’t it His Kingdom we are to be building? Is God going to change our language too?
It takes a humbled heart to change. It takes stopping the building of the tower. Stop building it before God comes and confuses things! If we’re not speaking His language, He’ll show our language to be exactly what it is: foreign.
This is what I’m reminded of. This is the warning that God is giving me. In the midst of all the good things to take note, to pay attention to myself and my teaching in order to ensure salvation to the hearers. Not hinder. To persevere rather than get comfortable. To be challenged rather than complacent. To build His kingdom, not mine. To speak in His language.
I wish there was a “like” button on this web page. Cool blog, bro! I haven’t thought of that before.-. Good blog

Do Natural Objects Have Legal Rights? - LawNow Magazine
You are here: Home / Feature Articles / 44-4: Climate Change / Do Natural Objects Have Legal Rights?
In 1972, Christopher D. Stone wrote an article entitled "Should Trees Have Standing? – Towards Legal Rights for Natural Objects". This article is still, even today, mentioned every time there is a discussion on legal rights and natural objects.
It is not inevitable, nor is it wise, that natural objects should have no rights to seek redress in their own behalf. It is no answer to say that streams and forests cannot have standing because streams and forests cannot speak. Corporations cannot speak either; nor can states, estates, infants, incompetents, municipalities or universities. Lawyers speak for them, as they customarily do for the ordinary citizen with legal problems. One ought, I think, to handle the legal problems of natural objects as one does the problems of legal incompetents – human beings who have become vegetable. If a human being shows signs of becoming senile and has affairs that he is de jure incompetent to manage, those concerned with his well being make such a showing to the court, and someone is designated by the court with the authority to manage the incompetent's affairs. The guardian … then represents the incompetent in his legal affairs. Courts make similar appointments when a corporation has become 'incompetent' – they appoint a trustee in bankruptcy or re-organization to oversee its affairs and speak for it in court when that becomes necessary. (See: Stone at p 464.)
Taking this concept into consideration, many countries have enacted laws that recognize natural objects as legal entities. Courts in different countries have also granted legal rights to natural objects.
In 1993, Tony Oposa, a Filipino citizen, sued the Philippine government on behalf of 43 Filipino children for neglecting the country's forest resources. The trial court ruled that there was a lack of legal personality to sue and dismissed the case. However, the Philippine Supreme Court supported the legal standing and the right of the children to start the lawsuit on their behalf and on behalf of future generations.
In 2008, the new Ecuadorian Constitution incorporated a chapter called Rights for Nature. This chapter acknowledges that nature has the right to integral respect for its existence and for the maintenance and regeneration of its life cycles, structure, functions and evolutionary processes. It also states that all persons, communities, peoples and nations can call upon public authorities to enforce the rights of nature (article 71).
In 2014 in New Zealand, the Te Urewera Act declared the land that comprised Te Urewera National Park as a legal entity with an "identity in and of itself" and encouraged people to take care of it. The Act established a board to manage Te Urewera and to represent its interests. The board has representatives of the Crown and of Tūhoe, the tribal group exercising mana whenua (traditional status, rights and responsibilities) over most of the national park land. The Act settled the historic grievances of Tūhoe.
Moreover, in 2017, the New Zealand government enacted the Te Awa Tupua Act (Whanganui River Claims Settlement) in order to settle the historical claims of Whanganui iwi (indigenous descent groups) as they connect to the river. The Act recognized that Te Awa Tupua was as "an indivisible and living whole, comprising the Whanganui River from the mountains to the sea, incorporating all its physical and metaphysical elements". The Act declared Te Awa Tupua a legal person and established the office of Te Pou Tupua. The office includes two persons with interests in the Whanganui River: one nominated on behalf of the Crown, the other nominated by iwi. Te Pou Tupua will act on behalf of Te Awa Tupua.
Inspired and encouraged by New Zealand laws, a court in the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand gave the Ganges and its main tributary, the Yamuna, the status of living human institutions. The court declared that the Ganges and Yamuna rivers and their tributaries would be "legal and living entities having the status of a legal person with all corresponding rights, duties and liabilities". Therefore, contaminating the rivers will be legally equivalent to hurting an individual. In order to protect the rivers and their tributaries, three officials are appointed as legal custodians. The court ordered that a management board be established within three months.
In Canada, natural objects do not have legal personality.Moreover, a few days after declaring rivers Ganga and Yamuna as legal persons, the Uttarakhand High Court held that the Himalayan mountain ranges, glaciers, rivers, streams, rivulets, lakes, jungles, air, forests, meadows, dales, wetlands, grasslands and springs are also legal entities.
O'Donnell and Talbot-Jones stated:
The Yumanotri and Gangotri glaciers feed the Yumana and Ganges rivers, both of which the court considered to be "sacred and revered… central to the existence of half the Indian population". The court stated that both the Yumanotri and Gangotri glaciers are receding quickly and there is a "moral duty to protect the environment and ecology" from the severe risks of climate change and pollution. (See: Erin O'Donnell and Julia Talbot-Jones, Will giving the Himalayas the same rights as people protect their future?)
The Uttarkhand High Court declared that "climate change was one of the major threats to the glaciers that required giving them personhood". The Court added that "the very existence of the rivers, forests, lakes, water bodies, air and glaciers is at stake due to global warming, climate change and pollution".
Furthermore, in Colombia, 25 plaintiffs – ranging in age from 7 to 26 and supported by the human rights organization Dejusticia – filed a lawsuit against the Colombian government requesting protection of their right to a healthy environment. They stated that the government failed to stop the deforestation of the Amazon, threatened their future, and violated their constitutional rights to a healthy environment, life, food and water.
In 2018, Colombia's highest court sided with the plaintiffs and ordered the government to take urgent action to protect the Amazon and its increased deforestation. The court said that "Colombia saw deforestation rates in its Amazon region increase by 44 percent from 2015 to 2016". The court added: "it is clear, despite numerous international commitments, regulations … that the Colombian state has not efficiently addressed the problem of deforestation in the Amazon".
… many countries have enacted laws that recognize natural objects as legal entities.The judges said that "the Amazon's destruction leads to imminent and serious damage to children and adults for both present and future generations". They stated that "deforestation is a key source of greenhouse gas emissions driving climate change, which damages ecosystems and water sources and leads to land degradation".
The court added that "for the sake of protecting this vital ecosystem for the future of the planet," it would "recognize the Colombian Amazon as an entity, subject of rights, and beneficiary of the protection, conservation, maintenance and restoration" that national and local governments are obligated to provide under Colombia's Constitution. The court asked the President and different ministries and administrative agencies "with the participation of the plaintiffs, affected communities, and the interested population in general" to submit action plans within four months to fight deforestation in the Amazon.
Governments and courts in other countries should consider these laws and rulings. In Canada, natural objects do not have legal personality. However, according to scientists, climate change is causing glaciers in Alberta, British Columbia and Yukon to melt quickly, threatening to raise water levels and create deserts.
Extending legal personality to natural objects used to be unthinkable. Not anymore. We can see how far we have come by considering natural objects as legal persons. Granting legal rights to natural objects will strengthen their protection by allowing legal remedies for damages to them. Thus the questions we pose here are: Are we going to see more legal actions on behalf of nature? If so, will these actions improve the environment's protection?

Home » Issues » 2019 Issue » The Making of a Legend
hrough the changing seasons of Austin College's history, a values-based mission and a foundation in the liberal arts have combined to deliver educational experiences that transform the lives of students. The constant throughout: Faculty members dedicated to providing exceptional learning opportunities.
Alumni through the decades tell of legendary professors, now gone, who pointed them to their future selves: Moorman, Bryant, Edwards, Cawthon, Gourley, Love, Phillips, Low, Day, McCarley, Freeman, Melugin, Neidhardt, Beardsley, Mason, Manley, Lunkley, Street, Pierce. The list goes on and on, and includes many emeriti faculty who, thankfully, remain in the Austin College community. That proud history looks toward a promising future with current faculty on their way to becoming the legends of tomorrow.
What makes them great? Extensive knowledge of their subjects, with the ability to communicate that clearly to students, is a given. One faculty member may have animated, infectious enthusiasm; another's gentle devotion to a specialty draws out students' fondness for the same.
Many current and "in-the-making" legends are teaching because of a past educator's influence and impact. In their work here, Austin College faculty continue the cycle of inspiration as they share their love of teaching and learning with students, the results to be passed along to another generation as those students graduate and have impact through teaching or other career roles.
Dr. Roger Platizky, Shoap Professor in English Literature, has taught at Austin College since 1988 and plans to retire at the close of the 2018-2019 academic year. He has eloquently expressed an educator's heart: "I hope the passion and knowledge we share in the courses we teach will stay with our students, like time-released particles that help them find purpose, meaning, resilience, and happiness in their lives long after they graduate."
Educators become legendary because, through their own commitment to excellence, they make a positive, lasting difference in students' lives.
Read more about six current Austin College faculty representatives who offer comments on some of the qualities and actions that define legendary faculty.
To be an effective teacher, you have to care that students know the information, concepts, and skills that are important in the disciplines you teach. At a place like Austin College, it also helps a lot to care about the students personally and to show that in a variety of ways: know about their campus activities, what their plans and aspirations are, what they like to do outside class, et cetera. Sometimes I show them I care by cooking something for our field trips—they really like my ScotchaROOS!
Dr. Steve Goldsmith
Steve is humble when he talks about caring for his students, saying it seems like it would be common for a good teacher to respond as a good person would. He recalls driving almost an hour roundtrip back to Hagerman Wildlife Refuge to retrieve a student's phone that had been left behind after a field study trip. She needed her phone—so he went to get it. He practices the kind of caring that comes from knowing students so well that years later, he can recall specifics about recommendations for students applying to graduate schools, medical schools, and other opportunities.
My own memorable teachers helped me find my voice and made me feel I had valuable ideas to offer. Because of those teachers, I've come to realize that teaching isn't about me impressing students with my knowledge but about drawing out their experiences and ideas to discover the knowledge within themselves. Students learn best in my classes as they discuss literature with their peers—and that can be intimidating. I intentionally cultivate a positive, fun, and inclusive classroom setting in which my students feel safe taking risks, making mistakes, and being vulnerable with each other and with me.
Randi also serves as Director of the Johnson Center for Faculty Development and sees how a culture of sharing is effective in faculty development. "The Johnson Center essentially provides a liberal arts education for our faculty," she says. "We cultivate a holistic approach to honoring the student and delivering the best Austin College experience we can. Faculty may have different approaches based on personalities or academic disciplines, but we are on the same page when it comes to providing the best education for students."
If I could take my class on a field trip anywhere in the world, I would take them to the Inis Meáin Knitting Company. It's a textile factory that makes beautiful sweaters on a remote island off the west coast of Ireland. I want students to be inspired to create products that reflect their own unique spirit, environment, and heritage.
Inspiration vs. expertise. Why not both? David sees himself as an "expertise guy" because his brand of caring is to be as prepared as possible for his students. He also says that all students must find their own inspiration. To guide them from an idea to inspiration, David can often simply ask, "Why?" Each inquiry helps focus students on their interests, which can lead to new ideas, new questions, and new answers.
Three years ago, in order to throw myself outside my linguistic comfort zone, I began teaching myself Arabic. I spent a sabbatical at the University of North Carolina in Wilmington auditing Arabic 101 and 102. Being a student in a regular classroom there helped me gain new and invaluable perspectives on my own teaching and on the challenges students face in a foreign language classroom.
Dr. Ruth Cape
Ruth says she thinks people sometimes discard what they don't understand, assuming it's unnecessary or even wrong. She pursued the study of Arabic partially to find a way to be useful in the current cultural climate. She says one of the best ways to validate others and truly be a global citizen is to learn language. In her language classes, Ruth hopes students also learn courage, self-reliance, and self-discovery.
I say the way to be best at your job is to not do only your job. Playing music with the band at my church is what I consider to be general self-care. It's important to my well being to have valuable, meaningful interests outside of campus. Having an extra sense of community is good for you. Plus, you can't be divisive with people who are already your friends.
Lisa is a composer and performer. A runner. A traveler. A life-long learner, teacher, and a friend to many. When she works with students who are obsessively focused on studying with no other enrichment, she's been known to give orders for them to relax. Calling it "homework," she asks them to lighten up. Give the learning some room to sink in. Because of her own experiences and interests, she is genuinely able to relate to many different students.
My first undergraduate research seminar, on the Reformation in Germany, was an unforgettable experience. I framed my own topic, asked my own questions, and did my best to answer them by finding and studying primary sources. I can't replicate that experience in every class meeting, but I try to build serious encounters with the original sources into every course.
The students who are drawn to history tend to be the great memorizers, according to Max. Their early education was filled with names, dates, and timelines. Max encourages students to study and think about what motivated the happenings of the past. He says that by understanding and respecting the personhood of the past, students will learn why the dates became historic on the timeline. He teaches young scholars to have respect for the dead and to tell their stories truthfully.

Waiting to Inhale | THE PET-SITTERS' POST
Posted on February 25, 2012 by Pet-Sitters Post
As if a tricky ticker, collapsing trachea, allergies, yeast, acute cough-gag-wretch and a chronic itch with no obvious cause or cure wasn't enough, now we have halitosis to add to Scratchy's ever-growing manifest of maladies. It's not paint-peeling bad, but it's stinky enough to make you recoil as if you've stumbled into a sewer. If you consider how indiscriminant dogs are with their food choices (we cared for dogs in Mexico who snacked on cow paddies) and which body parts they spend a lot of time licking, it's no surprise they have potty mouths.
"Spa" day begins with a nice warm soothing bath that he whines and whimpers through.
But the most common cause of bad breath is bad teeth — in pets and humans — specifically plaque and tartar build-up, which often leads to gum disease. And, for whatever reason, smaller dogs suffer it the most. At least one veterinarian claims that, by the age of three, seven out of 10 pets have dental disease, and stink breath is a prime indicator. As grody as mung mouth can be, if the root of the problem is simply tooth-related, and if you catch it early enough, you and your hound can breathe easy. It's a simple fix: just brush his teeth.
I confess I've never done it. It's not that I'm anti-dentite, it's just always seemed so absurd to me. (Statistics show I'm not alone: apparently less than 1% of pet owners do the deed regularly.) I keep imagining a wolf in the wild, pausing from gorging on a kill to ask the pack: "Hey, I've got a piece of entrail stuck between my teeth. Anybody got some floss?" But I realize today's commercial dog foods are often rife with additives of dubious origin (including sugars) that can stick to their teeth, and tooth trouble can lead to so many other problems, so I suppose it makes good sense for me to brush up on it. Veterinarians insist you do it every day, and that if your approach is patient and gentle, you can even teach an old dog this new trick. There are pet-friendly pastes and gels (human toothpaste is verboten, as it's upsetting to mutts' guts) that taste like — gag! — beef or chicken, and even rinses and polishes to keep those incisors pearly white (and, um, "puppermints" for that minty-fresh scent).
Scratchy flashes a toothy grimace at this newest form of torture.
As I casually approach Scratchy with a brush cleverly hidden behind my back, he stops digging at his ears long enough to eye me suspiciously. He senses something's up and begins to creep away. Before he has time to pick up speed, I scoop him up and plop him on the couch, cooing to him about what a good boy he is. He knows this is clearly not true, and begins to squirm. I hold him firmly but gently and lift his upper lip. As I bring the brush to his mouth, he shrinks back, clamps his teeth shut like a vice and begins to wag his head from side to side like a kid dodging a forkful of broccoli. I finally get him in a headlock and he goes limp, resigned to this new form of torture effort to make him healthy. I scratch his head and sing to him softly — "Open wide, here comes the choo-choo train," then I move in with the brush. I manage a few up and downs to his clenched molars before he slips from my grip and flees up the stairs. Well, it's a start. After subsequent attempts are rewarded with a few after-brush treats, he gives in and accepts that this is one more humiliation he must endure if only to snag a snack when the deed is done.
I can't tell if Scratchy's chompers have a lot of plaque build-up — I'll let his parents get that checked out — but if he did, it's best to leave it to the pros to scrape it away. If it turns out his fangs have deteriorated into periodontal disease, which you can't see because it lurks beneath the gum line, he'll have to undergo general anesthesia for a full cleaning, poor bugger. The upside of him being knocked out cold is that the vet will take the opportunity to examine him for other potential problems like abscessed, broken or missing teeth, receding gums, swollen lymph nodes, ulcerations, infection, tumors and cancers. His tongue, tonsils, lips and jaw will also be checked (and/or x-rayed) for any oddities.
He's all ears for a final interior clean.
Thankfully we didn't have to put Scratchy through this, and after about a week or so of brushing and special plaque-fighting, breath-freshening chews, his mouth started to smell, if not like a spring morn in a lilac field, at least not like a pail of rotting fish. The last thing we wanted was to add yet another major ailment to the ever-growing list. After boning up on the subject, I found out some pretty freaky facts: that if good dental hygiene isn't the cause of a dog's dragon breath, it could signal an issue with his respiratory system, gastrointestinal tract or organs. If his breath suddenly starts smelling sweet, you shouldn't celebrate — it could be a sign of diabetes. If it smells of urine, it could be kidney disease. If the foul odor is coupled with vomiting, lack of appetite and yellowy eyes and/or gums, the poor pooch may have a failing liver. If there's discharge, excessive drooling, decrease in appetite or difficulty eating, lack of energy and depression we'd have a potentially fatal disease on our hands. Yikes. Scratchy displayed none of these symptoms so, for now anyway, we could breathe a sweet sigh of relief.

June is over already--hard to believe! June was a great reading month for me. I competed several reading challenges and celebrated my (1) year Blogging Anniversary. I also committed to a personal challenge of exercising on a regular basis (a biggie for me) and so far it has been great.
As far as reading goes, I read (3) more books in June than I did in May and I was successful reading a few more review books this month (9/15) , as well. I liked most of the (18) books that I read in June. I am thrilled with the fact only (5) of the books were library books and the other (13) from my stacks. This is something I have been trying to get better at.
How did you enjoy your month? What kind of progress have you made in the first half of 2009? (post a link if you can, please).
Here is my teasers -- ---"The truth is, Emma's worried that her plans are backfiring. Her mom and dad seem oddly frightened by the message she and Mel painted on the trees".
Can you remember what Labor Day meant to you when you were 13 years old? Back then the last weekend of the summer, most of us were busy doing some last minute back to school shopping with mom. We were probably a bit nervous, but anxious for the new school year to begin.
For Henry, the 13 year old narrator of Joyce Maynard’s soon to be released new book (pub date July 28): Labor Day: A Novel , this is a time that will dramatically change lonely, friendless Henry’s life forever.
Henry has lived alone with his long divorced mother, in Holton Mills, New Hampshire since he was very young. His mother, Adele has become somewhat of a recluse over the years and although her love for her only child Henry is deep, she burdens poor him with far too much baggage than a mother should. Henry is all she has left since his father left her for another woman many years earlier.
On a rare shopping excursion for some back to school items, an unlikely event takes place, which forms the foundation for much of the story. A bleeding man named Frank approaches Henry in the department store, and he tells Henry he needs help. Henry introduces Frank to his mother, and they take the stranger home with them for the long Labor Day weekend. Before long they learn that “the man with kind eyes” has just escaped from prison. But all is not as it first appears on the surface.
What happens next simply captivated me, but I can't say much more without revealing too much.. The author captured the character of Henry beautifully, a wounded adolescent who felt responsible for his mother’s sadness.
Labor Day is a wonderful coming of age story that might bring a tear to the eyes of some readers. Gripping with emotion, and the power of love and forgiveness, in the end you will be thrilled you read this wonderful story. Fewer than 250 pages, I read Labor Day in just one sitting, and it will surely be in my Top 10 list for 2009. There was no way I could put this rare find down before learning what would happen to the lives of Henry, Adele and Frank. DO NOT MISS this one; highly recommended.

After Dark , by Haruki Murakami (a new to me author) provided for me, what I would have to call a surreal reading experience.
Totally bizarre, but addictive, I listened to this audio book for the last 5 evenings, well into the night. The reader, Janet Song, was amazing, and did an excellent job describing what the reader was seeing as the story unfolded in what I would have to describe as a "book without a plot".
Curious....well the story starts out pretty much at a Denny's in Tokyo, and the entire story takes place in one night, beginning at just minutes before midnight. It is here at Dennys that we meet Mari Asi, an insomniac who seems to never sleep, and Takahashi a trombone player, and an old aquaintance. The two strike up a conversation about whether to order chicken at this restaurant. Mari seems to spend her nights at Denny's with a large book she carries around. Mari and Takahashi continue to meet at night and they become friends. It is through some profound conversations by the two, that we learn more about the other characters. There is Mari's sister Eri, who seems to do nothing but sleep as she suffers from some sort of social withdrawal, along with (2) other equally troubled souls, who have a story to tell: a prostitute and a software manager. Though the course of this story these people will find their lives intersecting.
This story is so different, so strange, yet so vivid, descriptive and haunting. I am really at a loss for what else to say about this unique book, except that although this is my first book by this author, it will not be my last. I plan to explore more books by this author, as I get the feeling I could be on to something new and pretty great with this author.
Although the audio book was excellent, in the future I plan to read the print version by this author if possible, as there were parts I would have wanted to reread and ponder (not so easy with a audio book). RECOMMENDED.
I probably won't have much computer time on Saturday, so I just wanted to remind everyone that the my 1st Blogiversary Giveaway is this Sunday 6/28 at 8PM EST. If you haven't signed up for a chance to win, do so now (see details) -- your just a click away.
A Short History of Women: A Novel , by Kate Walbert is a story that follows five generations of women, each struggling to find balance in their lives.
It is a subject that has been written about numerous times. The story started out well and drew me in, especially for Dorothy Trevor, who was a suffragette in the early part of World War I England. She starved herself to death for her cause, leaving her young children behind.
One thing I did not like was how the story jumped back and forth over a period of 109 years. I found myself having to often flip back and forth to the family tree chart to understand what was going on.
The writing is beautiful and very thought provoking. As I read the book I kept thinking about how in some ways women have come a long way over the last 100+ years, but yet in other ways nothing much has changed.
This is the type of book, that I think would be appreciated even more, by it being read a second time. It's not a terribly long book, but it does give the reader a lot to think about. Well done overall (boring cover).
Has anyone read any of Marie Bostwick's books? The author kindly sent me a copy of her new book to read and review, but after reading just a few pages (which were great), I soon realized that her newest book, A Thread of Truth , is actually a sequel to her 2008 book: A Single Thread .
So since I am a little weird about trying NOT to read series books out of sequence (i just did that with Swimming Lessons; Monroe) , I plan to hold off on her latest book until I get my hands on a copy of: A Single Thread .
Those of you who have already read some of the gems by this author, please post your thoughts along with the title.
Swimming Lessons , by Mary Alice Monroe seemed to be the perfect audio book to ease into summer with. I generally love most books set on the shores of lovely South Carolina, and when I read that this one included a story about the cycle of life of the Loggerhead turtles of the Isle of Palms, it had a special meaning to me.
A few years ago while on vacation in Aruba, we were fortunate enough to be able to see the "leather back sea turtles" prepare to lay their eggs along the shore. It was fascinating even though the area was later roped off as to not frighten the turtles away.
In this story, we meet the Turtle Lady, Toy Spooner. She is a single mother who fled with her young daughter, Lovie, from an abusive relationship. She finds work at an aquarium, and it is here that before long we begin to see sparks between Toy and her boss Ethan.
Some of the sea turtles in this story are sick and some weigh over 200 lbs. Toy is convinced to apply for a grant at the aquarium so that a turtle hospital can be set up to help these sick creatures heal.
But this story has a bit more to it than just Toy, Lovie and sparks flying with Ethan. Lovie’s father comes back into the picture complicating matters, all while several of Toy’s friends are dealing with their own personal issues.
Swimming Lessons is a light sort of read, in the style of Dorthea Benton Frank, or Anne Rivers Siddons. The ending was satisfying in that as the turtles begin to heal and prepare to go back out to sea, Toy, too, a once wounded woman also begins to heal.
I did not realize that this story was in fact a sequel to an earlier book, The Beach House, which I never read. I don’t feel it was necessary to have read that book to appreciate this story. If you are looking for a light summer read to add to your list, give this one a try.
Accomplished storyteller Shobhan Bantwal immediately grabs your attention and doesn't let go until the last word with her latest romantic novel, The Sari Shop Widow.
Bantwal has authored two previous novels with an Indian setting, both of which have tales woven around hot-button social issues. She decided to set The Sari Shop Widow in the United States in order to give her readers a glimpse into the lives of Indian Immigrants. Nonetheless, her deep interest in women’s issues resonates in this book as well.
Anjali Kappadia is The Sari Shop Widow. She lives with her family in Jackson Heights, New Jersey or as it is referred to as Little India. The characters are so vivid that you befriend the whole family and can’t wait to avidly read their charming story. You are even sorry that it ends.
Anjali, despite her westernization, is deeply rooted in her traditionalism. She knows how Gujarati widows lead a rough life in India, however, in the West her situation is not as precarious. She is a 37- year old widow who lost her husband to an aneurysm a few years ago. Her heart is still numb with pain as she returns to live with her parents and her brother. She throws herself into working at her parent's store, Silk & Saphires where she designs luxury saris and wedding attire for the Indian immigrants who are still holding on to their traditions. Her only relief is her secret white Protestant boyfriend, Kip Rowling.
Apparently, they are into deep financial trouble and Anjali’s stern uncle Jeevan is coming from India to “fix” things up to the dismay of Anjali and her mom Usha.
Jeevan is an autocratic man with an agenda of his own. His entry into the lives of the Kappadias apparently disrupts their daily lives, until they discover his secret and his true self. Jeevan brings with him his friend and business partner, Rishi Shah, a reluctant and unwelcome third party who will fix their financial woes by transforming Silk & Sapphires into a bigger modern store.
We can guess from his good looks that Anjali is going to fall in love with him. But, first, he has to gain her trust, and that is something she is not ready to give, especially that she knows that he had a girl friend, Samantha, in England.
Will they get together Indian style with the approval of her family? Will Samantha be out of the picture?
Bantwal’s writing is fluid; there is a lively chatter throughout the novel. The story permeates with the smells and tastes of Gujarati cooking. Her descriptions of saris and salwar kameez and Indian fashion generally are tactile and vivid. We can readily see the beautiful silks and jewelery. We really feel that we are in Little India. Although, her sex scenes are a trifle genteel as if the author was embarrassed for fear of being too risqué, nonetheless they still were quite titillating.
Isabel Raine was single and a successful writer until she was swept off her feet by Marcus Raine. The two marry without knowing very much about each other. Marcus is charming, handsome and career driven. One morning Marcus kisses his wife goodbye, heads off to work, and disappears. At first Isabel simply thinks her husband is working late and forgot to call, when her calls go to his voice mail, but then a mysterious call from his phone to her, sparks fear and she tries to get the police involved.
At first the police do not take the disappearance seriously, as according to them “men disappear all the time”, for lots of reasons. Isabel is desperate to locate her husband, and soon is on a mission to find out more. Before long she finds herself hospitalized with a head injury after a surprise attack. The FBI raid her husband’s office and, soon it becomes clear that there is a lot more that Isabel does not know about the man she is married to.
Die for You: A Novel , by Lisa Unger, will have you holding your breath and anxiously turning the pages to find out more about the mysterious disappearance of Marcus Raine. With lots of twist and turns along the streets of New York City, and then again in the city of Prague, Isabel is determined to find her husband despite the risks she faces along the way. Die for You is an great thriller which kept me engaged, and guessing along the way. Recommended
I also enjoyed: Beautiful Lies (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard) and, Sliver of Truth: A Novel , by this author. Her other thriller, Black Out (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard) , is on my shelf waiting to be read soon. Give this talented author a try if you enjoy suspenseful thrillers.
Here is my teasers -- ---"Fight or flight? Until recently it's never been a question. Not for me. Whenever I feel frightened or threatened, my first instinct has always been to flight. I do it pretty regularily".
(p. 11 ) A Thread of Truth ; Marie Bostwick. (I was thrilled to receive a signed copy of this one from the author (many thanks). It sounds so great!
I first learned about Borrowed Words on Monday while visiting Reading Extravaganza's Blog. I immediately thought about a Rushdie quote, I wrote down sometime ago that really made me stop and think, so much so, I had to write this one down. Here goes:
“For a long while I have believed…that in every generation there are a few souls, call them lucky or cursed, who are simply born not belonging, who come into the world semi-detached, if you like, without strong affiliation to family or location or nation or race; that there may even be millions, billions of such souls, as many non-belongers as belongers, perhaps; that, in sum, the phenomenon may be as “natural” a manifestation of human nature as its opposite, but one that has been mostly frustrated, throughout human history, by lack of opportunity. And not only by that: for those who value stability, who fear transience, uncertainty, change, have erected powerful system of stigmas and taboos against rootlessness, that disruptive, anti-social force, so that we mostly conform, we pretend to be motivated by loyalties and solidarities we do not really feel, we hide our secret identities beneath the false skins of those identities which bear the belongers’ seal of approval. But the truth leaks out in our dreams…: alone in our beds (because we are alone at night, even if we do not sleep by ourselves), we soar, we fly, we flee. And in the waking dreams our societies permit, in our myths, our arts, our songs, we celebrate the non-belongers, the different ones, the outlaws, the freaks. What we forbid ourselves, we pay good money to watch, in a playhouse or movie theatre, or to read about between the secret covers of a book. Our libraries, our palaces of entertainment tell the truth. The tramp, the assassin, the rebel, the thief, the mutant, the outcast, the delinquent, the devil, the sinner, the traveller, the gangster, the runner, the mask: if we did not recognize in them our least-fulfilled needs, we would not invent them over and over again, in every place, in every language, in every time.” — Salman Rushdie, The Ground Beneath Her Feet
Do you restrict yourself on how many books you take out from the library at a time? Do you borrow books if you already have some out? Do you always reborrow books you don’t get to?
PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Musing Mondays post, or share your opinion in a comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks.
I don't limit myself as to how many books I take out. Thank goodness my new library sets a limit of (10) books per patron to be put on reserve (20 in my case since I use my husband's library card as well :) My last library had an unlimited reserves policy, and I was "out of control", with as many as 60 books on reserve. I am weak what else can I say?
Unfortunately, receive quite a few review books so I don't get to read everything I take out (new books go out for only 2 weeks; all others 3 weeks). I have been known to take out the SAME book again if I did not read it the first time. If I have not read it a second time, though I add it to my personal wish list (that's another story in itself) to possibly buy in the future. I do feel sorry for me own lonely books just sitting there hoping to be read. I really do want to read them, and told my husband I plan to stop sleeping soon, just so I can read more! I could never live without 7 hours of sleep so that one is out too :(
Today I started reading Die for You: A Novel , by Lisa Unger. If you like a good thriller that sucks you in from the first few pages, try this one.
The Giveaway is open to new and old followers, no matter where you live, and you do not have to have a blog to win.
About the past year......I started this blog on June 28, 2008 because I live and breathe books. Now just 51 weeks later I've posted 306 entries; received approximately 1,100 comments (but just 69 in the 1st 6 months of blogging - in the future I plan to help new bloggers by commenting often -- starting out is tough). I've also had 1,000 profile views, 90+ subscribers, and 50 (+) followers. I'm pleased to say the least, and in case you haven't guessed, now at the one year mark, I'm also Blog Obsessed!
Two blogs in particular inspired me to begin blogging. These blogs are truly terrific in my opinion, and if my blog is someday just half as interesting as theirs, I'll be thrilled. My inspiration and thanks goes to: Wendy at Caribous Mom and another Wendy (maybe it's the name......ya think?) at Musings of a Bookish Kitty. Thanks ladies :)

The Shop on Blossom Street (Blossom Street, No. 1) , is a first in the Blossom series, and also the first book I've ever read (in this case listen to) by this author (oops --just realized I read a Christmas book of hers one years). I chose this book because I wanted sometime relaxing to listen to before bed. This one hit the spot.
Read by Linda Emond who does a great job with the four characters in this story. Four very different characters become friends while taking a knitting class at (you guessed it) The Shop on Blossom Street. For Lydia, the shop's owner, a two-time cancer survivor, the shop represents a new beginning.
The first project is : how to knit a baby blanket. The participants in the class are struggling with various personal issues: cancer, divorce, miscarriage etc, and from each other they learn how to accept life's setbacks and find happiness in their lives once again.
I was happy I tried this book. A light read, nothing too depressing or heavy, this book turned out to be a good listen well into the wee hours of the morning on some nights.
Perfection: A Memoir of Betrayal and Renewal , by Julie Metz is an extremely personal account of a not so “perfect” life. After the unexpected death of her husband Henry, and 12 years of marriage, 44 year old Julie Metz finds herself alone with a six year old daughter to raise. She spent the greater part of the next seven months living in a fog and missing the love of her life terribly. When a friend tells her about a woman Henry had been seeing in New York, Julie is shocked. Before long Julie learns it is not just one woman that Henry had strayed with, but a succession of at least five women, including a good friend.
Obsessed to find out more she searches emails and journals tracking down the women and setting out to meet them, and to understand “why” Henry had been unfaithful over and over again.
For Henry it seemed, was always looking for thrills in life, in love, and in lust, in other words “perfection”, but as Julie Metz points out “true perfection comes when you enjoy the whole of your life, and not just the good bits”.
Little by little Julie went from a “you are so lucky to be dead attitude Henry”, to one of forgiveness, moving on, and learning to love again.
A painfully honest memoir, without a “poor me” tone, Perfection: A Memoir of Betrayal and Renewal , kept me engaged as a reader. Certainly not an easy story to tell, it was very well done. I was also impressed to learn the Julie Metz is a graphic artist that designs book jackets, and that the picture perfect tulip on the cover really seemed to fit the title beautifully. My only negative comment about this book is that I thought there was a bit too much detail into all of Henry’s romantic involvements; other than that I really enjoyed this memoir.

FAIRFIELD — It’s no easy task to keep Notre Dame-Fairfield striker Toni Domingos out of the scoring column. Very few teams have pulled it off during the senior’s stellar career.
Barlow was able to accomplish it on Thursday afternoon at Park Field. But the Lancers, they do have other answers.
Freshman Izzy Chimento scored off a rebound in the first half. That’s all Notre Dame needed to win 1-0 and remain undefeated.
Barlow was very aggressive,” Notre Dame coach Wayne Mones said. “I thought our girls really fought hard. They didn’t give up, they kept putting pressure on the other team. We created some great chances, we just didn’t put them in.”
Mones said Domingos, who will play at the University of Maryland next season, is playing at ”about 80 percent,” citing both hamstring and calf injuries.
“She might get hurt in a game and might not be able to play the next game,” Mones said. “We have to develop the players around her. We can’t just look for her. … I know we have the talent around her. They just have to develop, gain some experience.”

Voice Actor Geiky
A young boy from the world of Almeddia, victim of a horrible accident that changed his body and spirit completely. Born in a family of Alchemy adepts, he developed a liking to poison and toxins, and is a master of transmutation, bearing in his cheat a shard of the philosopher's stone. Geiky was thrown deep in the spirals of time, and ended up in a completely different plane, where he senses his brother's footsteps, who also was severely mutated. Alone, he begins his journey to find his beloved sibling, and maybe return home, to his parent's arms…before time consumes his very soul.
Trained in battle to use the deadly Saï together with his Guardian Spirit, Psoron – a master of toxins and venom, and due to the feline-like mutation that happened with his cells, he's a very agile fighter, and, ironically, is both a dangerous master of venomlore, and an adept healer, who always cares for his partners.
Geiky is very sweet and curious, but his personality extends much further than just that. Through his mother, he learned how treating others with respect and kindness is a must, and also how it improves one's personality. Through his father, he learned to be analytic and to speak fancily and archaically and at the same time, how to act like a noble, but to adequate into the most simple or poor places and people. And through his brother, he learned how to say "no" and how coldness in one's persona is needed sometimes. From himself, he sprout a blossom to arts and music, reunited all of what he learned from his family, and stowed it deep inside his chest; The result was a tad unpredictable, but very patient and understanding young boy, that can either catch your eye for his fanciness, or pierce it deeply with his brutal coldness. All will depend on how you act around him, and how he is feeling at the present moment. He certainly won't hesitate to poison you if you annoy him and has no significant bond to cause any regret, revealing a slightly psychopathic side. Yet, it seems Geiky is actually softer than most would expect, hiding inside his bosom very emotional senses, eternally frozen by his untouched heart.

School has started with its "getting back to the grind" and its "mama has a chance to breath without interruption," so I've been able to hit the refresh button on my parenting mindset which always always always leads me home to this poem that happened upon me during my pregnancy with my oldest daughter and has been my parenting model ever since.
Every season that passes through us, I am able to digest and integrate a bit more of this. It slowly seeps in and becomes me, and yet, I need its constant reminder on my refrigerator.
When my heart is raging at the cost of mothering and it seems my eardrums have only to burst from the strain of pressure, I turn to it and see through the waving water before my eyes and allow it to restore me. To remind me.
That there is a point where I stop and they begin. That my job is to remain steady and flexible, which I manage to do only when I am fierce about caring for myself.
Ultimately, though, that parenting is something that comes from the soul.
I think most of you will already know it, but there is never a wrong time or place for this, so once again...
Kahlil Gibran:
On Children
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.
**
'nuff said.

Just as they are~On accepting our children
8/15/2012

Once upon a time, I gave birth to a highly sensitive child. When she was born, she roared, red faced, and full of rage. An angry lion, I said. The cord was wrapped around her neck twice, and yet she came without showing signs of struggle.
By the next day, I was wondering if the crying would ever stop.
It hasn't yet.
That was 6 1/2 years ago. As she struggles through every day, as she needs, and needs, and needs, I begin to learn better ways of responding, providing, and comforting in ways that don't leave me brittle, which mostly requires me to restrain myself from "fixing" all the time.
I have lived through periods of bitterness so deep, especially in the early days, when her feeding routines left me with only half hours of sleep and my world seemed to be slipping through my fingers, and then when she was a toddler, still not sleeping, and I spent my days and nights in the fog of fatigue and unknowing, I thought I'd been consumed.
With her around, there was no room for me, until I learned, at long last, to take care of myself, because there is only so much a mother can do. The sorting of my responsibility from her responsibility was a drawn out, and difficult process.
Today, I'm looking at a 6 year old with bags under her eyes and a heaviness about her spirit. She's not yet learned to carry her sensitivity, to nurture her energy. I want to make her focus on the positive.
I want to cheer her up and coax her and give her whatever will make her happy for a change.
I want to tell her life is hard and you don't always get your way, but it goes on and she has to, too. I want to tell her to cheer up already, because her constant negative energy brings the rest of us down.
Instead, I let her be. I do energy work, and I say prayers, which are basically the same things. I ask for protection and release; for providence.
For her, and for all of us,
because in the deepest hollow of my mother heart, I know, she was born this way, and she's still working out how to be herself, and that my constant struggle to "make things better" just got in the way of her doing her own work of growing and accepting and being in a way that feels good to her.
I have to laugh at myself for thinking that I was given children so I could mold and shape them into some form of perfection, not that I ever thought of it that way. I just thought I was trying to be a good parent.
I even have to laugh at myself for thinking they need a perfect childhood.
I think we all can acknowledge that there is a lot of pressure out there to be a perfect parent who produces a certain kind of child, and while I released the mainstream idea of perfection a long time ago, I replaced that image with another, which was just as harmful.
My new focus revolves around being devoted to acceptance, trust, imperfection, joy.
Acceptance that there is only so much I can do, and there is only so much they can learn at a time.
Focusing on what I can do, and trusting that it is enough.
Knowing: I must make my mothering choices from my heart, regardless of how they or I or my children appear and compare to others, because we are us and
We are all complete just as we are.
I am beginning to believe that the only thing we are here to do is to be ourselves.
Believing that has transformed the way I live and parent in a huge way, especially for my little lion girl.
I don't doubt that she will figure herself out and live her purpose beautifully in good time. I never have.
It was learning to trust in the present that had me tripped up for a while,
but it's working its way through me.
.....me and my lion girl.
*******
All is well

Rainy Day
7/25/2012

I'm on vacation with my girlies while Oliver is at a Local Government leadership summit (his name was on it's own banner downtown--"surreal" he said--still getting used to this wonderful work he's doing, I think).
Right now it's raining, and it's supposed to rain for the next three days, so instead of the great hike on the dunes, the island galavanting, the beaching, and all around big time play, we're sitting in our room surrounded by the craft supplies we acquired on an early morning Jo-ann's run.
Yesterday, as we were road-tripping here, I was a grumpy mess. "Pms" I kept saying while Oliver shot concerned glances at me and I tried to stuff all the anxiety I was feeling back down to where it came from.
What I didn't realize until just now, though, was where the anxiety was coming from. See, when I was young, my parents took us on amazing, and amazingly scheduled vacations. Just the thought of them make me quake with the inferiority I feel when compared to the "vacations" I take with my family.
My girls are beyond happy to be watching cartoons and coloring in giant coloring books on the floor on a rainy day. My parents, come hell or high water, would have braved the day and taken us to museum after museum, theme park after theme park, National forest after...you get the picture. We would have posed in front of every statue and,
oh yikes.
There it is,
pounding heart, smothering guilt.
Why am I not better at this? Why would I rather go to a yarn store and buy (a-n-o-t-h-e-r) H crochet hook and (more) yarn than see the sights!?
I should have them at the children's museum, even if it did look like a shack...and I should take them to the opera house, even if Jules would make a scene.
I should have stayed at the lakeside playground longer this morning, and why didn't I just go to the Pirate Cove, even in the downpour, like the other families that looked miserable standing next to the closed down rides with their mini-golf clubs.
WHY didn't I plan better and then stick to those plans...hell or high water?
Get the picture?
Truth is, I appreciate all I saw and learned because of my parents. It is one of my deepest gratitudes.
Truth is, my children have plenty of time to see sights, to learn, to explore.
Truth is, they won't remember this trip anyway. I barely recollect Disney World at 6.
Truth is, this is about so much more than feeling like an inadequate trip planner.
It's about all those feelings of just not being good enough; at parenting, at planning, at follow through.
It's about feeling like less than enough.
It's about that feeling of not accomplishing enough.
I'm pretty sure we all feel these things sometimes, especially we perfectionists in the midst, and I'm no stranger to them.
This time, instead of analysis, I will trust my body and my heart to gently remove anxiety's grip on my wrists.
I'll let fun and creativity and snuggles do the work of processing.
This time, instead of pushing to be better, I'll trust that I am already okay, that this too shall pass, and that what feels perfect to us right now is exactly what we need.
Hoping your day is filled with what feels perfect to you and nothing else.

New Moon
7/17/2012

I feel like I want to write something beautiful today; to dredge up golden, sunlit memories. I think they will surface soon. I've been spending so much time with the ugliest memories that were stored away in my brain. Writing them, reliving them.
The time for that remembering is passing quickly. So much processing has come out of the compiling of my memories, and I am grateful for it. The most valuable lesson I've learned through it, though, has been in the art of self-care.
Nurturing myself through these past months has been the best gift I've ever given myself, and I intend to continue it. This coming new moon feels significant. Like a clean slate for the mid-year. Like a shift from the deep dark inner work I've been doing toward something that feels better.
This last moon has felt like a great rest, somehow. I wasn't moved to be terribly productive, and yet I got a lot done. Mindful activity is coming back now, and a persistent realization of the necessity of making plans and digging in to the physical manifestation of things long held in my head is walking into my life with the assurance of a wild woman.
This moon I am setting the intentions of fiercely mindful and intuitive living, and of living toward my purpose without wavering. No different in words than my intentions last month, but much different in nature.
Tomorrow is my baby girl's third birthday. Three years. She's changing a lot, and the next few years will bring about so much change that at the end of them we'll leave behind the "little years" altogether. Even with that, I no longer have a baby to care for and in less than two months I'll have a space of time each week all to myself at home to work toward my dreams and my calling.
It's funny how our children's birthdays can bring up so much. Sometimes I think we forget how important our children's birthdays are to our own life's story. Of course we acknowledge that we were blessed with a wonderful gift, but we don't always acknowledge our own process in birthing that child, the marking of the time span of our motherhood that it lends us, and all that we have grown through because we have taken on the role of the nurturing mother.
To me each birthday that my little Jules celebrates is a marking of both her independence and mine expanding little by little until she's ready to cut the tether. Her birthday is a celebration of the beautiful gifts she brings to the world and to our family, and also of having one more year under my belt. One more year of experience, of memories, of growth. One year closer to the completion of these demanding years of mothering.
Stitching together each moment of stillness I can gather today. Watching, feeling, the moon wane. Marveling at little Jules and at the wonder of it all.
Wondering.... What's it all for?
Deciding.... It doesn't really matter.
The living is what matters.

How an 18th Century portrait inspired a new film - BBC News
How an 18th Century portrait inspired a new film
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-27668108
Image copyright Scone Palace
Image caption The portrait of Dido Elizabeth Belle and Lady Elizabeth Murray is on display at Scone Palace
An 18th Century portrait that inspired a new British film is on display at Scone Palace in Perth.
The painting, which dates from 1779, shows two young women dressed in the finest clothes of the age.
However, one is an aristocratic white-skinned girl in a pink dress and the other is a mixed-race girl, who is placed in equal importance to the first, which would have been a rarity for the time.
For a long time, the double portrait at Scone Palace was labelled with only one name - "the Lady Elizabeth Murray".
It was not until as recently as the early 1990s that the identity of Lady Elizabeth's companion was rediscovered.
She was Dido Elizabeth Belle, the illegitimate daughter of British Navy admiral Sir John Lindsay and a female Caribbean slave.
Belle was taken to London by Sir John, who left her to be brought up in the aristocratic surroundings of Kenwood House, by his uncle, the 1st Earl of Mansfield.
Lord Mansfield was an eminent Scottish lawyer who became Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales.
The childless Lord and Lady Mansfield also raised Lady Elizabeth, following the death of her mother.
Image caption The 1st Earl of Mansfield brought up Dido Belle in his London home
Belle and Elizabeth are thought to have been raised together as equals at a time when treating a mixed-race child in such a way would have provoked shock and disgust from Lord Mansfield's contemporaries.
The painting, once attributed to Johann Zoffany, was commissioned by Lord Mansfield, who had been born William Murray at Scone in 1705 and educated at Perth Grammar School.
His successors are still the owners of Scone Palace, the family seat of the Mansfields, where the portrait of Dido Belle and Elizabeth is on display.
Screenwriter Misan Sagay saw the picture in an exhibition some years ago and was curious about Belle's life.
"I was amazed to see this black girl gazing out at the viewer," says Sagay.
Image caption Dido was given the same status in the family as Lady Elizabeth
A new movie - Belle - which features Gugu Mbatha-Raw in the title role and Tom Wilkinson as the 1st Earl of Mansfield - is Sagay's attempt to tell the story of how a woman of colour was treated in Georgian society.
It also suggests that Lord Mansfield's judicial decisions relating to slavery were much affected by having Belle in his home.
Lord Mansfield is said to have played a pivotal role in the abolition of slavery.
In 1772, when Belle was 11, the judge ruled that no slave could be taken from England or Wales under force, saying: "The state of slavery is of such a nature and so odious that nothing can be suffered to support it".
He also presided over the infamous "Zong Massacre" case in which 142 African slaves were hurled from a ship and drowned so that their owners could claim insurance for "damaged cargo".
Lord Mansfield ruled that the slave owners could not claim money and that slaves were not disposable.
The horrific treatment of slaves highlighted by the case strengthened the abolitionist movement, which eventually led to the British slave trade being outlawed in 1807.
Image caption Tom Wilkinson and Gugu Mbatha-Raw star in the new film Belle
Image caption The new film is released on 13 June
Gugu Mbatha-Raw, who plays Belle in the film, says: "Having a child of a slave in your household must have influenced him, even on a subconscious level."
The film's director Amma Asante says: "We should be proud that we had this Lord Chief Justice that chose to take in the child of a slave, to raise her with value.
"Because he made a choice to love a child, we possibly have a different world. That gives me goose bumps."
William Murray, a descendent of the earl and the son of the heir apparent, says the treatment of Dido Belle was "ground-breaking".
"In 1760, this sort of thing just did not happen. The story and the position of having Dido in the house was utterly unique."
However, it did create difficulties in society, he says.
Dido Belle was treated like the rest of the family when they were alone.
Image caption William Murray, a descendent of the earl, says the treatment of Belle was "ground-breaking"
"Where it got awkward is when they had guests in," he says.
She was too well-born to belong to the serving classes but too different to be wholly welcome in high society, Mr Murray says.
The portrait on display in Scone is the only representation of Belle known to exist.
She was one of three illegitimate children fathered by Sir John Lindsay, who was commander-in-chief of the British Navy's East Indies Station.
He also briefly served as an MP for Aberdeen.
When Lord Mansfield died, he carefully recorded in his will that Dido was a free woman.
She married John Davinier in 1793 and the couple had three children, including twin sons.
She died in 1804, at the age of 43, and was buried at St George's Field close to what is now Bayswater Road in London.

The degree of tooth damage caused by acid erosion varies depending on a number of factors: the acidity of the drink, the type of acid involved, and the length of time that the teeth are exposed to the acid in question.
Xerostomia, also known as "dry mouth", or "dry mouth syndrome", is a major factor in dental health. Dry mouth has numerous detrimental effects that need to be managed to maintain good dental health.
Dry mouth is a frequent side effect of some medications, it is more common in older persons, and it accompanies several diseases such as Sjögren's syndrome and Sicca syndrome. Other causes include dehydration, mouthbreathing, radiation therapy involving the salivary glands, and the physical consequences of emotional or mental stress.
Have you ever had that burning, itching, painful feeling around the lip area and wonder if you should keep your dental appointment? These are the beginning stages of HERPES SIMPLEX or better known as a cold sore. Multiple vesicles are formed, which rupture and form blisters that then crust over and heal in approximately two weeks.
To prevent transmission of HSL, it is essential to avoid the fluid from the blisters because it’s very contagious. In the home, you should isolate your personal care items such as washcloths, towels, toothbrushes and drinking glasses along with utensils. In the dental office, if a patient has an active outbreak present, any procedures should be postponed till the cold sore has been cleared, unless of course it is an emergency situation and needs to be treated right away.
After the original outbreak, the virus will lie dormant and can be reactivated by certain triggers such as; stress, trauma, fever, surgery, fatigue, too much sun, and menstruation. Most individuals experience two or fewer outbreaks per year.
It's something most of us have experienced at one time or another: after brushing or flossing we see a bit of blood in the toothpaste we spit away. Occasional occurrences of such blood might not be highly significant, but if blood appears regularly it indicates a problem.
Gums can bleed for a number of reasons, and it's important to determine what is causing bleeding gums. Bleeding gums are generally easily treated, but if neglected problems can result.
Plaque is one of the main causes of bleeding gums. If good oral hygiene is not maintained, plaque—a soft, sticky biofilm of sugars and bacteria that builds up on teeth, especially along the gum line—can accumulate. When left on the teeth, plaque provides an environment that is conducive acid formation as bacteria digest sugars. Enough acid, and time, eventually leads to dental caries. In addition, plaque buildup and the acid it develops can lead to gum irritation and bleeding.

Shubhaavi Choksey reveals one of the most memorable memories of Kasautii Zindagii Kay
Shubhaavi one of the most respected and celebrated actors of television, best known for her role as Mohini Basu. She shares a memory from Kasautii Zindagii Kay.
MUMBAI: Shubhaavi Choksey is one of the most respected and senior most actresses in the television industry, best known for her role as Meera in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Rishika in Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii, and Mohini Basu in Kasautii Zindagii Kay. Shubhaavi nailed these characters with her acting chops and did full justice to these roles. The role of Mohini Basu was loved by the audiences, especially the mother and son bond of Anurag and Mohini, which was relatable and touching. TellyChakkar got in touch with Shubhaavi and asked her to reveal memories from the show, to which the actress said that it was a blessing to work with the entire cast and crew of Kasautii Zindagii Kay. (ALSO READ : Shubhaavi Choksey reveals why Parth Samthaan took time to mingle with his Kasautii Zindagii Kay co-stars ) She said that the cast got along so well, and till today, they are in touch with each other. It felt like family when they used to work, said Shubhaavi. The actress revealed that one of the most memorable memories of the show was that whenever it was lunchtime, everyone would sit down and eat together. By chance, if someone wouldn't be able to make it and eat later, then the entire cast would give that person company until they finished.She said it was one of the most fun times and beautiful memories of the show. Well, no doubt that the cast and crew got along like a house on fire, and fans and the audiences got to see it via the social media posts that the actors used to share. We miss watching the show and the characters, and Mohini Basu is a cult character. For more news and updates from the world of television, OTT, and Bollywood, stay tuned to TellyChakkar.

A solid rock band with roots embedded in folk and Americana.
We love the collaboration and willingness of bands to play genre-bending shows. As our audience trends a bit older, we'd like to see more early shows.
The Silver Maggies and the Latenight Callers both put out some stunningly great albums.
Be/Non and Dream Wolf during Homeguard Fest at RecordBar. They absolutely killed it.
We released a single in the fall of 2012, and we've been writing and working on new songs for our second full-length album. Right now, the plan is to start recording in late fall 2013. As always, we don't control our destiny, and the plans are subject to the will of others. I'm planning a little solo motorcycle tour through the South for early fall. Just me and my guitar on a motorbike. It sort of fits the motif of the new album and will be a test run for future small tours.
The earnest pop impulse at the heart of rock music written and played to make you forget whatever was on your mind before the first note.
I'm liking the diversity of people who are getting involved in local music lately. Not strictly bands but radio stations like 90.9 the Bridge, new venues like Woodside, different civic events, art galleries, schools. All kinds of people from different parts of the city are becoming part of our music scene, and it shows that you can be a part of a music community, and there's no requirement that you be in a band. When you look at self-sustaining music scenes outside of KC, that's something they all share. NYC, New Orleans, Portland, Nashville, L.A., Austin — they involve more people than the band members passing the same $7 back and forth among one another.
So far, the best album I've heard this year is Dwight Yoakam's Three Pears. Technically it came out last year, but I just picked it up in January.
Willie Nile at SXSW. I'm actively lobbying them to come to KC. You watch that band play in a bar, and there is as much passion and energy and honesty as any show you see in an arena. Willie's been a favorite songwriter for a while now, but that was the first time I've seen him play live, and he made me want to be Willie Nile if I grow up.
I climbed in the van back in March and found a copy of the Tiny Horse album on the console, and it made me really happy. We played it on the road home, and I was watching these military jets passing over the highway while listening to that album and just went somewhere else in my head for a while. Also the Katy Guillen Trio; they are three very good musicians and they are really compelling live. Olassa
Recording the final tracks on our first LP, entitled You Can Still Be a Diamond. What's next: Touring to support the album release. (Not to mention the next LP is already written! Stay tuned!)

During a physical exam, your doctor will evaluate all your pet's physical parameters such as age, size, and breed. We will discuss your pet's history, lifestyle and environment, as well as changes in temperament and appearance to identify risk factors for diseases or health concerns. We perform annual blood screening that allows us to detect the early stages of kidney and liver disease, diabetes, low protein values, and electrolyte imbalances. Many problems show no outward symptoms until damage is already done in the body. Blood testing on younger patients allows us to establish a baseline for your pet as they age, and we can more quickly find and treat underlying problems. We believe strongly in preventative care and have developed wellness protocols for every stage of your pet's life.
Colmey Veterinary Hospital is equipped with an in-house laboratory - a full service diagnostic lab that allows us to perform complete blood cell counts, chemistry profiles, electrolytes, urinalysis, fecal parasite centrifugation exams, cytology evaluations and other valuable tests. We are able to receive immediate and accurate results, helping to determine your pet's diagnosis and what treatment therapy is required in a timely manner. Our sophisticated laboratory technology is particularly essential to our emergency and illness cases. We can often have results within 30 minutes for many tests.
Colmey Veterinary Hospital has an in-house pharmacy for your pet's prescription needs. Our pharmacy is fully stocked with a large selection of preventative medications and treatments, prescription pet diets, the most effective flea, tick, and heartworm medications, as well as skin/coat care products, and nutritional supplements. All medications and diets are stored under optimal conditions to ensure quality and guaranteed effectiveness. We also can dispense written prescriptions if desired.
Saying goodbye to a long-time friend is difficult and painful - we understand because our pets are family members too. We work with clients to ensure their pet's comfort, dignity, and peaceful passing in a quiet and personal atmosphere. We take care of details such as final wishes and payment before the moment arrives, in an effort to allow you to focus on your beloved pet. After-care services include taking care of remains, including private cremation if desired.
Your options following euthanasia vary according to your final wishes for your pet. If you would like to take your pet home for private burial, we are happy to provide a casket. You also have the option of cremating your pet. For a communal cremation, multiple pets are cremated simultaneously. For an individual cremation, you will receive your pet's ashes back, and there are many options for urns, including wood and metal that can be personalized or engraved. For decades, we have worked with the company At Home on the Range for our private cremation needs. They are our preferred pet funeral home and state-certified pet crematory.
Your pet's comfort is our number one concern. A sedative is administered first by the doctor, to allow your pet to relax and feel comfortable. When you are prepared, an injection is given to your pet, which allows for a peaceful and painless passing. You can choose to be present for all, none, or part of the procedure - whatever you feel is best. We know the decision to say goodbye to a pet is difficult, and our staff is here to support you along the way.

Welcome to #RockyRecommends! Every Friday my big fluffy cat picks out a book that he loves and gushes about it! This week, he decided to pick What If It’s Us!
Rocky’s Thoughts: Hello I amz Rocky and I amz cat. Woooooo oh wooooo this book was very much good. Ben was very awkward which I couldn’t relate to cause I am perfect all the time but it was very much fun to read about. Oh how I love him so. Arthur wasn’t as funny but he was super sweet and loving and I loved him too. There was also lots of MUUUUUUSSSSIIIICCCCC from Broadway and heck yeah I loved that too! I am very much in musicals and I am going to be starring in my own soon so this was awesome. I’m sure that after all my rocking music comes out this book will be edited so that Arthur and Ben listen to MY music cause it will be superior to all other musics. This book also took a look at healthy relationships and how to handle life and struggles. I don’t know much about struggles cause I’m so awesome, but I loved how realistic it felt even though it was sad at times. The other characters who weren’t main characters were also very good and I loved them a lot too. I would definitely like to read more about them cause they seem like they would have interesting stories too! All in all this book is definitely 5 out 5 purrs thank you.
You can add What If It’s Us on Goodreads and order a copy of your own! Rocky and I hope you enjoyed this week’s recommendation.
Thank you for reading!

Sabbatical 2015: @ONE Designing Effective Online Assessments Course Week 3
@ONE Designing Effective Online Assessments Course Week 3
Key Take-Aways from this week: Performance, Alternative and Authentic Assessment
The following three videos provide a good introduction to Authentic Assessment:
Challenge Based Learning: Authentic Assessment
Standardized tests debate:
measuring the important aspects of student learning?
test recognition and recall of information and not higher order cognitive functions such as analysis, synthesis, and evaluation
only test knowledge and not skill or outcome
do not help educators understand how to improve their instruction.
As a reaction to these issues and concerns alternative approaches to assessment have developed in the last few decades. This movement has been labeled variously Alternative Assessment, Authentic Assessment or Performance Assessment.
All of these labels refer to the same philosophical approach to assessing student learning:
Assess student learning by examination of student products
Make the assessment situation as realistic as possible
Ensure that the assessment informs improvement in instruction
Assess higher order thinking and performance skills
Assess process as well as outcome
Technologically-mediated instruction environment aids the Performance Assessment movement:
computer and course management systems routinely capture communication and interactions between students as well as instructors
communications and interactions can be put on a timeline, categorized on their subject or content, examined for who participated in the interaction or communication, etc.
as students access external digital resources and produce new digital products, the products can be evaluated in a variety of ways (videos, audios, text, graphics, artwork, or a mixture of media)
Instructor can use own creativity and ingenuity to identify measures that inform:
Frequency of a student behavior
Timing of the behavior
Directionality of communication or interaction
Tone of a communication
Emotional content of a communication
Listening Behavior and skill
Many of these measures are directed at measuring student communication or interactions. This is consistent to the move to group and collaborative projects, problem-solving and higher order skills needed for the workplace.
Discussion Boards: Tips for Effective Discussions
Rubrics are an essential component and should be provided.
requires students to demonstrate that they understand a concept
required to reply to each other's posts, encouraging exposure to a variety of examples, and support or debate each other's selections.
clear due dates for the post and the reply portion of the activity. Staggering due dates for posts and replies
Assume the role of a coach, helping guide the student(s) back to the right path, opposed to simply offering a judgment of correct/incorrect:
If a student is struggling with a concept and other students are leading them down the wrong path.
Not only is this a wonderful opportunity to help coach the students back to the right path, this could also be an indicator that there is a knowledge gap in the course that will need to be corrected.
Even if you have created a "student forum" to discuss class topics, if a student is struggling with a concept and not receiving help from other students.
Jump in and offer assistance, and remind the class to help one another out. If this happens to be a component of their participation grade, now might be a great time to remind them of that.
If a student is using the discussion board for a purpose other than that in which is created.
Social Media (Blogs, Wikis, FB, Twitter, etc.)
"Creating Content and Designing Learning Activities" from @One's Introduction to Online Teaching and Learning by Michelle Pacansky-Brock and her blog
Kathryn Damm's seminar entitled "Interactive Online Assignments to Engage All Learning Styles" YouTube video
May take many forms ranging from structured responses to specific questions, to a general review of the events in a lesson or day. Furthermore, journals provide a setting in which students not only display their knowledge, but reflect on the learning activity and ask questions or indicate a need for additional help.
Reflective feature - metacognition, students can become more aware of how they learn. Developing control over their learning helps students use their strengths to improve achievement.
To guide the writing process, students should be asked to respond to prompts, usually in the form of questions. These prompts can be general or specific, and should be written clearly to ensure that student responses contain the assessment information the teacher is seeking. For the problem-solving activity contained in this overview, students could explain their concept of volume or the strategies they use to solve the problems, or analyze their own strengths and weaknesses in doing such problems. Sample Journal Writing Questions:
In your own words, what was the goal, or goals, of this activity?
What strategies did you use in this activity?
Did you have an "Aha" experience during this activity? What was it?
What are you confused about after completing this activity?
How did you feel in class during this activity?
Other possible, more open-ended writing prompts include...
Write a letter to a classmate who could not attend class today, explaining what we did so that she will understand and learn as much as you did. Be as complete as possible.
How would trying harder have helped you learn better during this activity?
The key in using students' activities, projects, and assignments for assessment purposes is to be clear about the following:
what the student is to produce
how you are going to evaluate it
providing feedback to the student about his/her performance and how to improve it
guide your students to the desired level of performance or behavior
project based learning model - guided in a step-by-step process in completing the necessary elements of an assignment
Project Based Learning Story: Collaborating Successfully
Rena Palloff and Keith Pratt's Collaborating Online (2005) provides an effective step-by-step method for developing successful collaborative activities in online classes
Palloff and Pratt's first step in creating a successful collaboration environment is "setting the stage" and this consists of 1) explaining the importance of the collaborative work, and 2)providing clear guidelines for completing it
In this stage, the instructor must also be sure students are comfortable with the technology they will be using in the project; therefore, using the technology as a tool in an ice breaker the week prior (for example) is a good way to introduce it prior to the collaborative activity. Be sure to always explain the relevance of technology to the collaboration -- why are you asking them to learn yet another new technology?
Palloff and Pratt also stress the importance of clarifying the "rules of engagement
Will the project/activity collaboration occur completely within one area (a specific VoiceThread, in Ning, in the discussion forums in Blackboard?
Will students be expected or encouraged to have a dialogue outside of this online space (through email, meeting in person, etc.)?
What role will the instructor play (provide weekly input, regular and direct participation, observer only)?
Instructors need to model collaboration in order for students to learn it effectively and follow. I believe modeling the process also contributes to the integrity of a learning community. The more involved and participatory an online instructor is in the collaborative activities s/he designs for students, the more valid and pertinent those activities feel to the learners.
Evaluate the Process and Listen to the Feedback
Asking for feedback during and at the end of a collaborative activity is essential to improving the quality of your students' learning and making necessary adjustments to the design of your course.
As Dan Wilton in his ePortfolio: a portal points out there are three commonly accepted types of ePortfolios:
Linda Suskie in her "Assessing Student Learning" notes six critical characteristics for portfolios:
Clear educational purpose: what is it that you want the students to do and learn from creating and using the portfolio
Student participation in selecting contents using faculty selection criteria: while the instructor must define the criteria to be used by the student, the student also is involved in selecting the artifacts that go into the portfolio
Evaluation criteria: the portfolio is assessed using criteria in the form of a rubric to evaluate the portfolio
Illustration of Growth: Portfolios can be used to illustrate growth in the student learning by including work samples at various points in the instructional process.
Continual Updating: students can and should continually update an refine their portfolios so they represent the current state of their competency
Student Reflection: this is one of the greatest aspects of using portfolios the ability to cause and capture student reflections on their work and their learning process.

Using ePortfolios:
Portfolios are especially good for assessing programs or courses with small number of students
Portfolios can take a great deal of time and thus require careful planning and gradual implementation
Portfolios are especially powerful in assessing growth in students learning and reflection
Assessment can be more than just a mechanism for grading and benchmarking our students, that it can truly be an agent for learning. Providing feedback via a rubric is a powerful tool that will help guide your students to increased performance and learning.
A powerful context that you may consider when providing feedback is to assume the role of a coach, helping guide the student(s) back to the right path, opposed to simply offering a judgment of correct/incorrect.
Non-Traditional Assessment Feedback
Rubrics are an essential component of an online course. They set expectations for your students, offer the student a clear path on how to succeed, and provide you as the instructor with a mechanism to assess your students in the most bias way possible. By their very nature, rubrics will facilitate learning by distinguishing levels of performance in which the student can deuce, by the rubric criteria, what they did well or not well. However, by selecting a rubric that allows a space for you to provide targeted feedback each student, the opportunity to leverage assessment for improved learning increases.
In addition to rubrics, try to get in the habit of looking for opportunities to build in feedback loops into assignments. With f2f courses, this comes naturally as you interact with your students. In the online class, these opportunities have to be intentionally created. The goal of course is to provide targeted, stimulating and supportive feedback that will support your students in their learning process.
A good rubric tells the student and instructor
How can we make sure our judgments (or scores) are valid and reliable?
Rubrics are one of the cornerstones of effective online assessments. For each assessment administered, a rubric should be provided. As we move into the next sections of the course and discuss the various assessment tools at your disposal, keep a constant eye on how rubrics will play a part in each assessment you create.
The use of performance measures, even in traditional situations such as open-ended items or narratives responses, all require a systematic approach to scoring the student work product. The purpose of a systematic mechanism for scoring the products is to help insure that the score derived is not dependent on who is doing the scoring. In ideal situations, scorers are trained on the mechanism until they reach a set criterion for reliability. This rarely happens in classroom situations but the goal is still the same.
Parts and Levels
A rubric can be thought of as having four parts:
Task Description: this is a description of what the student is expected to do.
Scale: this is a description of different levels of performance by student on a specific dimension being scored
Dimensions: these are the aspects of the performance or work product that are being scored, for example, quality, effectiveness, quantity, etc.
Description of the dimensions: this is a definition of the scoring dimensions
A rubric usually also includes levels of potential achievement for each criterion, and sometimes also includes work or performance samples that typify each of those levels. Levels of achievement are normally given numerical scores. A summary score for the work being assessed may be produced by adding the scores for each criterion. The rubric may also include space for the judge to describe the reasons for each judgment or to make suggestions for the author.
PPT slideshow excerpted from a workshop on "Constructing Rubrics for Open-ended Activities" conducted by Susan Haag and Ann Kenimer. These slides illustrate the process of constructing rubrics and some important considerations to think about.
Analytic: scores are derived on multiple dimensions or criteria for a single work product
Holistic: a single score is derived to represent the entirety of how well the work product satisfied the work assignment.
Analytic rubrics are most common in the classroom and instruction. Holistic rubrics are applied if one is interested in either a quick gross assessment or the situation requires a single value to represent the performance (this often happens in a judgment situation such as Pass/No Pass).
Examples are from a site at Georgia State University that provides examples and information on rubrics and their use. http://www2.gsu.edu/~mstnrhx/457/rubric.htm
Rubrics can also be developed for digital artifacts created by students. The link below is an example from Michelle Pacansky-Brock for one of her Voice Thread Assignments: Voice Thread Rubric PDF.
The Enberg Grading Forms PDF is another good example of grading rubrics.

Assessment can be more than just a mechanism for grading and benchmarking our students, that it can truly be an agent for learning. A powerful context that you may consider when providing feedback is to assume the role of a coach, helping guide the student(s) back to the right path, opposed to simply offering a judgment of correct/incorrect or a numbered score.
Rubrics are an essential component of an online course. They set expectations for your students, offer the student a clear path on how to succeed, and provide you as the instructor with a mechanism to assess your students in the most bias way possible. As you will see, or know from your own experience, rubrics can be implemented in a variety of ways. By their very nature, rubrics will facilitate learning by distinguishing levels of performance in which the student can deuce, by the rubric criteria, what they did well or not well. However, by selecting a rubric that allows a space for you to provide targeted feedback for each student, the opportunity to leverage assessment for improved learning increases. In particular, it helps to identify these three points:
1. What is the student is doing correctly
2. What areas still need improvement
3. Suggestions and ideas for making these improvements

My Submitted Assignment:
Performance Assessment and Rubric Assignment
Noncredit ESL Level 7 Performance Assessment
SLO: Students will be able to compose a well-organized, coherent paragraph with appropriate detail and sentence variety.
Prompt: Write a paragraph comparing and contrasting some of the key features of two education systems, that of the United States and that of your native country or other country in which you have lived or worked, to explain how the systems are similar and different to someone from your native country. The paragraph needs the following:
An effective topic sentence that clearly identifies the two education systems to be compared and contrasted and states the purpose of the paragraph
Specific support provided in a variety of sentence types explaining at least two comparable features of the two education systems and at least two differences; correct vocabulary use; a minimum of one comparative or superlative grammatical structure; and a consistent order with a variety of comparison and contrast transition words
An effective concluding sentence
Standard format (heading, centered title, indented first line, standard font and margins, double-spaced) and no major errors in mechanics (grammar, spelling, punctuation) that distract the reader or interfere with meaning
Total points possible = 20 Pass = 16 points
Effective topic sentence that clearly identifies the two education systems to be compared and contrasted and the purpose
Topic sentence included but the topic and/or purpose unclear
At least two clearly-explained points of comparison and at least two clearly-explained points of difference with specific examples; only relevant information
Only three points of comparison/contrast explained with examples and/or one piece of irrelevant information
Features only compared or contrasted, not both, or only two features compared/contrasted; some support general or incomplete; some information not relevant
Only one feature compared or contrasted; support too general / not sufficiently explained and/or irrelevant
No features compared/contrasted; details not provided or not explained
Consistent order when discussing the comparisons and differences
Organization difficult to follow because some information is in the wrong order, causing some distraction or confusion for reader
Many details not in a logical or expected order, causing incoherency in paragraph
Variety of comparison and contrast transition words to move smoothly from one idea to the next
Transition words used but some repetition/lack of variety
One or no transitions used
Effective concluding sentence
Concluding sentence does not effectively sum up details/direct reader to main idea
Variety of sentences (simple, complex, compound)
Lack of variety in sentence structure or only simple sentences
Excessive sentence errors (word order, run-ons, fragments) that interfere with meaning
Correct use of vocabulary; variety in word choices
Some word errors that do not seriously interfere with meaning; some repetition
Numerous errors in word choice that interfere with meaning and/or excessive repetition
No errors in grammar, spelling, or punctuation; at least one comparative and/or superlative grammar form
Minor errors in grammar, spelling, or punctuation; attempt at using a comparative and/or superlative form
Multiple errors in mechanics that distract the reader from the content or interfere with meaning; no use of a comparative or superlative form
