I often get asked by business owners and entrepreneurs what’s the single most important thing they should do to be successful? For me the answer is really simple, invest in yourself. It is without a doubt in my mind, the greatest investment that we can make, yet surprisingly few do.
Now I know that this might sound a bit cliche for some people, but from my experience, business owners don’t invest in themselves (and of course this is a generalization). They don’t develop skills, they don’t spend money on a coach or a mentor, they don’t travel to conferences or events, and they don’t take time out to recharge their batteries when they need to.
There are lots of reasons why they don’t, but mostly it comes down to a perceived lack of time or money or both. If these are the reasons they don’t, they will probably never have the time or the money in future. Investing in yourself often requires a considerable shift in mindset and not surprisingly, real commitment. For some people this is a giant leap with little to no perceived value. I’ve found the opposite to be true and the invest “big” has been my philosophy for some time now.
I remember one of the first skill development programs that I did cost me $15,000, which I didn’t have. It all went on a credit card. The course was a high level professional speaker development program. I was really nervous about spending so much money that I didn’t have. Upon reflection, it has easily been the single most valuable investment I’ve ever made, being a professional speaker now for many years and enjoying the financial reward that this career has brought me.
The point here is that investment takes many different shapes, regardless of what it looks like to you, it needs to be a priority. We need to be developing new skills, learning new ways of doing business, being inspired and developing our networks. We have to treat this as a priority and factor it into our day, our week, our month and our year.
I’ve worked with many truly successful business owners and entrepreneurs, from all walks of life and all industries and they all share the common trait of working to improve themselves, both personally and professionally. They understand the benefits, and they see the cost in both time and money as an investment that they are more than willing to pay. And interestingly, the more successful they become the more money and time they invest in learning and development.
Talk to successful business owners and entrepreneurs, find out how they invest in developing their own skills. It might surprise you to find out how much they invest and where they invest it – but I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t be doing it if it didn’t give a big return. | 2019-04-26T05:01:02 | https://www.cardeqgroup.com/blog/2017/01/the-most-important-investment-you-can-make/ |

Last week, Clayesmore was involved in a number of Remembrance events across the area to mark the centenary of Armistice Day.
On Friday, the Senior School gathered in the Chapel to remember the sacrifices made by Old Clayesmorians in all wars, whose selflessness enables pupils old and new, to enjoy Clayesmore and lot more besides, to this day.
The service also included the reading of a poem “Remembrance of a Day”, written by Old Clayesmorian Bruce Venour (1937-1941), a veteran of the Second World War, Burma, Korea, Malaya and Palestine. Mr Venour’s poem refers to two of his school friends who died in the Second World War, Lawrence Craig and Keith Harris, a poignant reminder of the immediacy of the effects of the war on the Clayesmore community.
As held in amber on a Baltic strand.
My friends and I were young.
My friends and I, what web was spun.
In flames above the German countryside.
Now I am old and they are young.
The Prep School held their own service on Saturday, and created a Remembrance display including First World War artifacts kindly lent by Sister Hillyard and Mr Wilson, and with poppies manufactured by Mr Blackburn and his Year 7 and 8 carousel groups. There are 76, each bearing the name of an Old Clayesmorian killed in conflict.
On Sunday members of our Combined Cadet Force were involved in Iwerne Minster’s own Remembrance Service where Year 11 pupil, Dominic, played the Last Post and Reveille at the War Memorial on his bugle. Clayesmore’s Pipe Band, once again, headed the Remembrance Parade through Stalbridge and Year 9 pupil, Lily, played the Last Post and Reveille at St Mary’s Church in that village for their Service. Elsewhere in Dorset, Fergus (Year 10) played the Last Post and Reveille in Charlton Marshall, at a Service where Year 11 pupil Jemima also sang two solos.
We have also head of two Old Clayesmorians playing as part of Remembrance Events: former Clayesmore music scholar Daniel Gray (left 2017) played the Last Post and Reveille for the Royal Marines at the MOD base in Hamworthy, Dorset and Ben Wakelin (left 2018) played the Last Post and Reveille at Ashmore church.
A limited number of copies of Clayesmore’s Roll of Honour book, commemorating each of the former pupils and staff who gave their lives in World War One are available to purchase via the school website. | 2019-04-25T13:50:39 | https://www.clayesmore.com/clayesmore-remembers/ |

One of the main affordances of the interactive whiteboard (IWB) is its potential for increasing classroom interactivity, yet little is known about the interactivity it supports in schools with different educational concepts. This study analyses what types of whole-class interactivity the IWB supports in schools with either a traditional or an innovative school concept. A cross-case analysis of videotaped lesson observations revealed patterns in the interactivity related to school type. | 2019-04-21T01:00:28 | https://dern.acer.org/dern/ict-research/page/interactivity-with-the-interactive-whiteboard-in-traditional-and-innovative |

International practice applies several urban indicators for sustainable cities (Monocle's Quality of Life Survey, Quality of Life Index (QLI), Indicators for Sustainability, European Green City Index, City Blueprint and others). These urban indicators can serve in performing integrated monitoring, assessing and recommending objectives sought by cities by different quantitative and qualitative aspects. Some of these tools can be applied to assessing a city's quality of life. One of the goals of this article is to compare several alternative methods for assessing a city's quality of life and their accuracies. A comparison was performed of the QLI and INVAR methods while conducting an analysis of comparable data from the 2012–2016 surveys on the Quality of Life in European Cities. Upon establishing the rankings of European cities by their quality of life with the assistance of the QLI and INVAR methods, an estimation of correspondence of results obtained by both methods and sensitivity analysis were performed based on a quantitative tool proposed in this paper. The obtained values of such criteria revealed a good level of congruity between the ranks obtained by employing both methods. The sensitivity analysis indicated that the results yielded by both the QLI and INVAR methods for rating the quality of life in European cities per the ever-fluctuating 2012–2016 data were similar. In other words, there was little difference between these methods for city ranking. This research also provides the INVAR method and its abilities to supplement the QLI with new functions: quantitative recommendations for cities under analysis by the indicators under analysis, optimization of indicators with consideration of indicators achieved in the quality of life area, and establishment of the values of the indicators under analysis permitting the city under analysis to raise its rating to the desired level. | 2019-04-21T20:18:26 | https://repository.mruni.eu/handle/007/15753 |

My husband who spends large amounts of his life counselling young adults scarred by tiger parenting rolled his eyes and asked if we could put it in “the box”. The box is full of books weighing down our Christmas tree so that our tiger kittens don’t pull it over when they’re swinging on it like a pair of demented gremlins.
No-one can doubt the fervour and determination of Katharine Birbalsingh as she outlines her battle to set up Michaela, named in honour of a teacher she knew. The combative title is nothing compared to the language of war she bandies about in her introduction. Lakoff and Johnson would have a field day. But however irksome the language, her vision and determination, I think, are admirable. She set out to do something and she did it. You have to admire a doer who acts from a point of principled belief, even if you don’t share the beliefs.
Birbalsingh dismissed detractors of Michaela as being anti-free school and I have no doubt that some of the objections to Michaela came from these quarters. Yet Peter Hyman at School21 did the same without much opposition at all. I wonder whether some of the criticisms of Michaela are not really about the free school agenda and are more about tone, attitude and values. Much of the disgruntlement I hear about Michaela is not that it’s a free school, but comes more from a general distaste around bragging and self promotion. It was important then, as I read the book, that I engaged with the information and arguments and not the self congratulatory tone that pervades it.
What comes through loud and clear as you read this book is that these teachers care. They care about the children, they care about education and they firmly and fervently believe that this is the very best they can offer. To portray them as heartless monsters is grossly unfair. But having read the first half of it, there are some significant unanswered questions and concerns.
Knowledge, Memory and Testing, written by Joe Kirby, summarises well some of the research into cognitive science around memory and testing. He begins with the tired claim that schools in England don’t value knowledge. It’s the kind of statement that has teachers rolling their eyes, but as far as English Language goes, he does have a point. I too battled with an empty skills based GCSE curriculum as an English teacher sickened by and bored with acronyms like PEE. I understand the frustration. But other subjects I taught were packed with facts. This personal experience, coupled with a distaste for Ofsted, colours the chapter. Joe has, in a former blog, made the error of thinking that because knowledge sits at the bottom of the Bloom’s taxonomy triangle, that we all assume it is of “lower order” and importance and this error flavours the chapter. It is not. It is the foundation without which all the other kinds of thinking would crumble. It is what we build on. His dismissal of picture books ignores the deep levels of interpretation and comprehension we need to engage with sophisticated texts such as Shaun Tan’s The Arrival. While I understand some of Joe’s frustration – the exaggerated claims he makes – that classrooms have become “fact free zones”, along with the somewhat mocking tone which suggests that nothing in the primary curriculum has ever been taught -undermines the importance of his message; that knowledge matters.
He is right to point out, however, that unzipping knowledge from skills rarely works. Ok, maybe some sporting or artistic skills don’t need knowledge, just practice, but in general, skills are best contextualised within a knowledge framework. I agree and he argues this point well. But the key point here is in his Willingham quote that “thinking well requires knowing facts.” It’s absolutely spot on. But here’s the thing. I can’t find any evidence in this chapter or in others, that Michaela moves on beyond the fact stage into the thinking well stage. There’s no point in having a jump off point, if you don’t jump off.
There is a strong argument for cultural experiences – theatre visits, concerts, museums and so on, but no evidence of trips being a significant part of the educational experience (of course, I needn’t go into how much easier it is for a school in London with free transport for children to access these things). Joe doesn’t once mention a trip. He mentions relentless drilling of knowledge. And while I don’t doubt at all that the teachers make this rich Western knowledge based curriculum exciting for children, I wonder how you can claim to “help children to understand the world” when the knowledge they are exploring does not extend beyond Europe.
Joe explains very well the research behind memory and the testing of knowledge so that it sticks. He ignores the research into the impact of intrinsic motivation and how that creates even more powerful memory. In terms of Vallerard’s table of motivation, Michaela seem happy for pupils to sit at the compliant, extrinsically motivated end of engagement, which requires a good deal of repetition and testing in order to make up for the lack of involvement.
Drill and Didactic Teaching Work Best, by Olivia Dyer, repeats much of what Joe sets out in his opening chapter – there is a lot of repetition in the book – all singing from the same hymn sheet but in canon. Olivia’s defence of drill and didactic teaching seems to be that it is fun. And I’ve seen some very enthusiastic drill sessions such as Times Table Rock Stars work really well. Children like chanting – rhythm is soothing to the mind and helps to make learning more memorable, leading to automatic recall – we use it to learn songs of course, and how many of us repeat a number rhythmically that we have to remember until we can write it down? So what she says makes sense. If you want to remember facts. But there’s nothing in the drill script offered that suggests the knowledge is applied. I get that the facts go in and they they could pretty accurately be regurgitated on a test paper. But how do those children go from knowing some scientific facts to thinking in scientific ways – how do they see, as Feynman said that “science is the culture of doubt?” It’s a question I’d really like answered when I visit.
She goes on to challenge some of what she views as “progressive ideas” arguing that if children are given the algorithm to solve a Rubik’s cube, they can do it in seconds, rather than struggling with it for hours. She seems to miss the point here – that working something out for yourself can be deeply satisfying. She points out that Hattie suggests that discovery based learning has limited impact, but fails to mention that he is equally dismissive of the IRE approach she has scripted. Almost all her examples from chess to chicken sexing fail to mention the importance of experience and trial and error. Another idea she challenges is the idea that teachers should talk less. The flip side of this of course, is that when teachers talk more, children talk less and the importance of the role of speaking and articulacy are well researched and documented by scientists such as Resnick as well as academics such as Alexander and Mercer. None of this research is mentioned. And as in the last chapter, silly examples are given as proof of the foolishness of progressive thinking, like baking biscuits in order to understand native American Indian culture. This is not progressive. It’s just a bad idea. But it is an example of how spurious claims are confidently made throughout, with scant regard for facts. I know – ironic. Take this statement – “teacher training institutions…indoctrinate unqualified teachers with their one sided progressive values.” There is not one single example of this offered, yet it ignores the hours I spent as an ITT tutor teaching my undergraduates grammar and phonics. It’s the kind of arrogant dismissal that leads to such strong reactions against Michaela and masks some of the good thinking and practice that could be taking place there.
How Reluctant Readers Learn to Love Reading, by Katie Ashford focuses on Michaela’s commitment to get children reading. Of all the things they do, this is the one I find myself most in agreement with. The importance of getting children reading well and regularly cannot be underestimated. It is just as important as getting them to speak well and regularly along a continuum of formality. Katie is absolutely right to suggest that for some children who have fallen behind in reading, a secondary phonics programme can be vital. And in this chapter at least, she avoids pointing a finger of blame for this. The time to do this is stolen from French and she is right to point out that there is little point learning one language if there is difficulty in English. Phonics can help children to tune into sounds and differences in pronunciation and this will only help them when they return to French. So far, so good. But then we part company.
While I fervently agree that getting children to read for pleasure is vital, the sentiment is blurred by assumption and arrogance. She argues that children from disadvantaged backgrounds have few life experiences. They actually have more life experiences that most of us would care to imagine. Many of the children at Michaela are from migrant families – they have lived in other countries, speak another language. To ignore that knowledge is neglectful. And when she says would you rather your 11 year old read The Diary of a Wimpy Kid or Wuthering Heights, I’d go for the former. An 11 year old cannot access the adult experiences and passions writ large in Wuthering Heights. Why do we think a novel written expressly for adults about adult emotions should be appropriate for an 11 year old, just because it is hard? There are plenty of challenging texts that are more appropriate for that age group – it’s not a choice between Wimpy Kid and Wuthering Heights. What about Michelle Paver or Philip Pullman? And elsewhere she mentions that children have read Gone Girl. I’m really not sure that’s age appropriate to be honest, at the risk of sounding like a complete prude. Having said all of this, the commitment to reading together in class as well as the intervention programmes that clearly have an impact are impressive and replicable in secondary schools and it clear that Head of English, Jo Facer, has done an impressive job in developing a reading culture across the school.
Marking is Futile by Jo Facer begins with a sentence that would make any teacher’s heart soar “we don’t mark books at Michaela.” Oh imagine the hours of your life reclaimed if that were true everywhere! She describes well the mad marking policies that spiralled out of the simple shift in emphasis from Ofsted from progress in lessons to progress over time. She asks instead, “what is the impact of marking?” and makes a very powerful case against it. But then I hit a contradiction. In one sentence she argues that the case that marking is a sign of respect for the effort that a child has made, is countered with the assertion that children are not “equals” but “novices” and that teachers are the “experts”. Therefore no respect is due. But later, she argues that “we actually hold children back when we mark, because in marking we make the effort to spot the mistake for them.” Now if we are the experts and they are the novices, surely it is our job to ‘spot the mistake’ – after all, the whole ethos of Michaela is that children cannot learn for themselves. I’m confused. But I still want to believe because if true, this is a major step forward in reducing teacher workload. So I read on.
Sorry. Then, having identified common errors, there is whole class verbal feedback including spelling drills. I’m not uncomfortable with that. Spelling was a bit of a bugbear of mine and I used to do similar things. It’s not time consuming and can be effective. I’m less comfortable with the public merit/demerit session. Pupils are praised or shamed for their perceived effort in writing. In my experience, you have to be a careful in shaming a child for a ‘lack of effort’ which could be down to a number of reasons from a bad headache to severe worry. But hey, no excuses right – so public shaming it is. Better is the example of modelling group writing to craft great sentences. It’s a technique commonly used in primary schools and allows many children to combine their ideas to create a strong model for writing as is the use of the visualiser. In fact what Jo is describing is the kind of good practice in terms of feedback that I see in many schools. And I’m not sure that reading pupils’ work and then writing your own notes in your own book so you can use that for planning your next lesson, is that dissimilar or less time consuming than marking them. But I hope I’ll see that for myself when I visit. I also wonder what will happen when these children hit KS4 and the need for individual examination feedback kicks in. We shall see.
Homework as Revision by Joe Kirby begins with the habit of choral chanting of key classical speeches by children at Michaela. This idea makes some qualm. But I like it. Of course I do – I’m a drama teacher. I’ve been getting children to memorise speeches all my teaching life. I might question the macho choices of text, but there is something empowering in being able to recite a speech or poem. And there’s something moving and powerful in children coming together to recite in unison. A beauty. I guess we just differ on aim.
Joe then goes on to outline the problems with homework, especially for children with no quiet space at home. He argues that homework, where given, should matter and have impact. As a parent who has been pulling her hair out at the prospect of helping her child build a model Anderson air raid shelter, I sing Hallelujah. And he points out that in a school that has reduced the number of subjects that the children study, while simultaneously extending the school day so they spend more time on the subjects that they do, there is not really any need for extensive homework.
With one eye fixed on the future GCSEs (currently there are only Yr7/8/9 pupils at Michaela), the school has instead decided they will focus on revision of facts in preparation for the regular tests for homework tasks through the creation of knowledge organisers by the teachers that are kept in the children’s books. The children then self quiz every day. It’s simple. And if the sole aim of your education system is the accumulated acquisition of facts, I imagine it’s effective. It also removes the need for marking – the teachers can quickly cast their eyes over the quiz – it is either right or wrong. Job Done. I’m drawn to it in the same way I’m drawn to the no marking idea. In the same way people will be drawn to the no excuses behaviour method. It would make my life SO much easier. It’s like a slimming pill. Swallow this and all will be well. But…. I wonder. How do children learn to find information for themselves? How are they learning to connect and apply? What opportunities are they getting to create rather than replicate? As an overworked professional, I might see a panacea. As a parent, I worry my child would become diminished. A child who has taught himself Japanese. A child who can sit at a piano aged 9 and compose simple songs. Where would he fit in at Michaela?
I also baulk at the section on reading for pleasure, which focuses on sanctions for children who are not reading for pleasure effectively enough. It doesn’t sound too pleasurable to be told you must read, then be tested on it and given a detention if you can’t recall enough of what you read. Between this and the choices of sexually charged texts such as Dracula, I’m starting to wonder what kind of masochistic views of pleasure these children will grow up with! There is already a huge emphasis on reading within school – the aim of 100 classical texts read by the time they leave. Why not let them choose something less demanding at home and not get too hung up on testing them on it? There’s a significant danger they’ll never want to pick up a book again if they associate the experience with punishment. Seriously.
I have absolutely no doubt that the carefully constructed knowledge organisers and regular self testing will result in children who have secure subject knowledge. And I understand why people might say “and what’s wrong with that?” But it seems that there is a huge, solid foundation being built here. A foundation that could hold the tallest building in the world. And yet there is not yet a building. Not a single brick laid. The application of knowledge in unfamiliar contexts is the aim of PISA tests. The ability to draw on your own ideas and wider reading as well as the knowledge acquired in school is inherent in A Level and IB examinations. And no-one gets through the door of Oxbridge without the capacity to think on their feet and look way beyond what they have been taught. How are pupils being prepared for this?
No Excuses Discipline Changes Lives by Jonathan Porter delves into Michaela’s controversial approach to discipline. He starts off with his love of Matilda, a book that sadly, most Michaela children are unlikely to be allowed to read as it’s simply not challenging enough. He uses it as a means by which to challenge what he sees as a pervading belief that children are inherently good and that this belief undermines many a good behaviour policy. It’s a red herring in my opinion. Good or bad, children are human beings and like all human beings need both boundaries and respect. Banging on about Rousseau is a bit of a waste of breath. Let’s cut to the chase.
I agree with Jonathan that discipline is not a dirty word. Words in themselves are neither clean nor dirty – it’s the actions and things they represent that carry the value. Teachers I saw hitting children on the head with knotted ropes in Kakuma claimed the word discipline. Teachers I see in UK schools kindly but firmly giving sanctions for poor behaviour claim the word discipline – you can’t compare the two, even though the word is the same. We are agreed that discipline matters – ideally self discipline. It’s how we get there that forms the bone of contention. While Jonathan seeks to exaggerate the idea that in schools across the UK, behaviour is completely out of control, he does make a valid point that it is a cause of significant concern for many teachers. I all too clearly remember the frustration of ineffective and burdensome behaviour policies in my last school. By the time I’d written all the notes in planners I was supposed to do, I was fifteen minutes late for my next lesson. There weren’t enough days in the week for all the detentions I had to supervise and chase up. Hours and hours wasted with little consequence – and by consequence I mean help rather than punishment, because the sanctions had no impact at all.
If you know a child is troubled, get them counselling, not more hours of detention. Right? But I also know about the exemplary behaviour of the majority of pupils, especially in primary schools. I know that most kids, are indeed good. And that the ones who act up do so for a variety of reasons – some of them valid and some of them not. So I naturally recoil from the idea that you treat everyone equally but not fairly or equitably.
I also take issue with the statement that behaviour is “probably” worse in schools where the pupils are poor. The worst behaviour I ever saw was in a middle class school where the parents had high expectations of the teachers coupled with low respect. Where “he can’t come to detention because he has a piano/fencing/maths/orchestra class” were rife. Or where a Judge came and sat in front of our head to complain about her son’s punishment with absolutely no sense of irony. It’s not just the poor.
And yet, there are some good elements of practice that I don’t take issue with. I too agree that children hate ambiguity. If you want silence you have to explicitly say so – “be quiet” can mean a number of levels of volume. When I was teaching 135 children in Hong Kong last week, they knew that when I said “you do this in silence” that that meant silence. Similarly, it’s harder to argue with a “you must have your equipment” rule when the school has provided the equipment for every child in the first place. Presumably they also replace them when they wear out? But here’s a thing “when Tom loses one of these items…he has to learn that losing these items will cost him money and will be inconvenient.” It sounds simple. The school has a stationery shop and it is cheap – it’s not that inconvenient. But if Tom’s had his pencil case stolen and his parents have no money, it’s not as straight forward is it? I’m minded of the child whose addict mother sold his uniform and the equipment provided for him, for drugs money. I don’t think Tom or that child should be punished for this. Michaela do. They claim that if they don’t punish Tom, he’ll never learn to value his possessions. Believe me, poor children value their possessions. Even when they don’t get to keep them for long.
Elsewhere I don’t disagree with the habit of catching and praising good practice. Lots of primary teachers do this expertly. But I strongly disagree that it would be “profoundly wrong” to have “different standards for different pupils.” Let me be clear. People are different. We do not hesitate to accept that a person who cannot walk, needs a wheelchair. Why can we not accept that a person struggling with all kinds of hormonal imbalances or cognitive difficulties does not need some assistance? Children living under high levels of stress have higher levels of cortisol in their brains. There is a biological difference for these children. That cortisol will affect them differently. It impacts on memory (and so, actually, regular testing can help this). It impacts on health. And in boys in particular, it impacts on empathy, making them less likely to respond to the reasoned explanations offered about the importance of thinking about others. Adrenaline produced under threat, coupled with cortisol, creates a powerful, instinctive fight or flight response. This child is significantly different to the “can’t be arsed so I’ll muck around” child. Why would you treat them the same? They are not the same. I agree that teachers should be able to get on with teaching. But throwing children out of school is not the answer. And I’m not suggesting Michaela does this – as far as I know there has only been one expulsion so far. It is far harder to know, however, how many children have been encouraged to “choose” to leave – the headteacher is clear that she makes it clear that parents have the “choice” to go to another school – a statement that skates precariously along the lines of the law on coercion to exclude.
The no excuses culture at Michaela exists on an entirely extrinsic system of compliance. These can be foundations from which self reliance and regulation can be built – Jonathan gives a neat example of how firm expectations and consistency have helped Tom with getting to the point where he can comply and achieve – but there is no sign of those bridges being created through giving children autonomy and responsibility for their learning. As such, I wonder how they are being prepared for university or adult life. No, I accept that they are not yet adults. But they won’t wake up one day and suddenly say “I can self regulate without external control” – this needs to have been modelled and practised. Where is that practice at Michaela?
Jonathan points to the worrying research in the US where zero tolerance policies have resulted in high levels of exclusion and powerful rebellion from pupils. He reassures us that the UK version is lighter and based on strong relationships and firm expectations. No-one would argue with that. It’s just that most of us wouldn’t call it ‘no-excuses’. We’d call it good behaviour management.
He speaks of the importance of pupils learning to bring equipment, to pay attention, to be polite. But he doesn’t mention that pupils can be given detentions for not tracking the teacher with their eyes at all times. Not does he mention that they can be given detentions for their parents not paying their dinner money on time. All these more worrying things are oddly absent from the book.
Bootcamp Breaks Bad Habits by Joe Kirby outlines the policy that in Year 7, all pupils are inducted into the school culture through a bootcamp. It’s actually an idea I really like. I too used to start the school year with a fairly rigid training programme that made the rest of the year easier. For example, I had five common settings for classroom layout – groups, rows, horseshoe, circle and empty. By the end of my bootcamp, the kids could set out the room in 30 seconds and be ready to go. So I see the value in routine so that you can get on quickly and easily with what you want to do. I disagree with their routines, but I think it’s a brilliant idea to have Year 7 in for a week getting used to the culture and expectations of your school. So what if everyone else gets a longer holiday?
Putting aside the derisory dismissal of local primaries, who it would seem produce pupils “who cannot read a word” or “do single digit addition sums” – a claim that local SATs results would dispute – it’s a good idea to bring children together in Year 7 to orientate themselves around school, get to know their teachers and practice the routines they’ll be expected to adhere to. I’m not even averse to the idea of practising getting books out quickly and expediently. But tracking? Really? I’m yet to find any evidence that keeping your eyes on a speaker at all times helps learning. I can find research to suggest that doodling helps attention and listening. I can’t find any for tracking. So why, if you claim to have a single minded focus on the impact of learning, insist on unproven techniques? It makes no sense. Unless that aim is not learning, but compliance. Doing things just because someone tells you to do it, even though is makes no sense. That’s where I think we shift into dangerous territory as anyone working in safeguarding will tell you.
What is lovely is the attention paid to explicitly telling the children about the ways they learn. While I think that Michaela are selective in this respect, it is important that we share our knowledge of pedagogy, psychology and neuroscience with children. They need to know. The children get a sense that they can grow as they are introduced to the idea of a growth mindset – that they can achieve. I don’t think anyone could argue with the value of this and I don’t know why more people don’t share this knowledge with children right at the start. I also think it’s lovely hat the week ends with a shared, performative outcome – the recital of two poems. It’s a great way to bond as a group and to speak out the values of the community that you are now a part of. I don’t, personally think children should be taught to chant their gratitude to the teachers – a bit worshippy that for me. But the communal sharing of a learned outcome is something to be celebrated.
Authority in Action by Lucy Newman extends the Porter chapter and explores the idea of adult authority and the strong belief that at Michaela all children should follow the instructions of an adult first time without question. This is fine if the instruction is “sit down” (though what if your chair is wet or broken – do you do it anyway?). What if the instruction is “don’t tell anyone about this?” Of course, the teachers at Michaela wouldn’t abuse their authority. But we know of many adults in positions of authority who have. How are children learning that sometimes you say no to an adult?
Lucy cites research that children are unhappier in schools in England than in almost any other (European) country. Yet most European countries are far more child centred than us. It seems odd that she uses this as a basis upon which to argue for more adult authority, especially when you delve into the reasons given by children for their unhappiness.
At this point I’m questioning the intended meaning of authority. It seems to me that what she is arguing for is the need for a safe and orderly environment for children to be in. That’s not about authority, it’s about structure, protection, communal respect and routines. She speaks of purpose, kindness and explanation. I like the referee analogy where she says to children “I may make mistakes but my decision at the end of the day stands.” It’s a strong message – I am human, I am fallible, but I am charged with decision making and this is how it is. It’s a far cry from “you’ll do this because I say so” which is how much authoritarianism is depicted. Lucy is offering a more nuanced view. It’s a view, that in my experience, is inherently present in the best schools I see. It’s not a Michaela patent.
You’d think that two chapters on discipline would be enough, but there’s a third Why Don’t We Respect Teachers by Hin-Tai_Ting. It focuses on why children in China respect their teachers while children in the UK do not. By respect, he really means comply. My kids respect me. But they also challenge me – the two are not mutually exclusive. I respect Joe Kirby – I’m not afraid to challenge him and vice versa.
Hin-Tai describes the behaviour of Chinese children as rosy. I must admit, I found it quite difficult. Questions other than those simply requiring factual recall were often met with blank expressions, silence and sometimes disturbance. Some of the Chinese teachers I talked to expressed concern about the lack of creative and developed thinking they sometimes encountered. I didn’t feel I was met with respect. I felt I was met with indifference and sometimes anxiety around the fear of making a mistake. But maybe that’s just me.
What Hin-Tai then goes on to explore is not about respect at all, it’s about clarity of language. “Can you please…” rather than “Do this.” For some basic, organisational tasks, as simple instruction is enough. We don’t need to plead with people to open their books any more than we need to say “please can I step on your bus” to the driver. If we want a child to do us a favour, then please is perfectly polite. “Would you please take (this) here for me so that I can do (that)?” is reasonable. We don’t need to argue about respect and authority. We need to focus in on what language works – when and why, and how we use our bodies and voices to make children believe that they are in an environment in which they can learn, be safe and be valued for their contributions. I fear that all three chapters here on behaviour have ignored the possibility that you don’t need “no excuses” to have good systems in place.
Nevertheless, the idea of respect for teachers is an interesting one. He finishes his chapter with a consideration of society’s broader lack of respect for teachers and here’s an interesting tension for us. While I agree that having a culture that respects the work that teachers do is good, I don’t see how that respect is enhanced by a school that consistently criticises other teachers and the way they do things. That’s not remotely respectful. I wonder if some of the ideas Michaela shares would be much better received if they were not framed in the criticism of other schools and colleagues.
And so ends Part 1. Part 2 is here.
Next Battle Hymn of the Tiger Teachers – Part 2.
Debra, Thanks for this long blog. I have not yet read the book (no free copy!) but your synopsis reflects many of the concerns I had in watching the streamed video from the launch. Like you I thought there are things to be admired re: application and expectation but also that there was very much cherry-picking of evidence to fit pre-conceived ideas and crass use of generalisations, assertions and assumptions about both teacher education, the nature of truth and the work of other schools, systems and/or teachers – which at times was rude and dismissive.
I look forward to your review of Part II.
I too look forward to part 2 (too many books to read already and your synopsis is welcome) I watched the live stream with a roller coaster of emotion ranging from complete outrage to a respectful agreement and reflection of ” how would that work in my setting?” No one could argue that the aspiration and passion is high from colleagues at Micheala. My concerns are echoed in your blog regarding safeguarding and disregard for facts within credible research being replaced by hearsay and misguided opinion. The argument that Michaela children are respectful but yet the blatant disrespect for colleagues in the same profession coming from Michaela staff was a bitter tasting ironic pill.
Thanks Debra …Well reasoned and backed up with experience and research. Your section on behaviour said most of what I’ve been thinking this last week.

"New Model of Great Power Relations"
A number of commentators in the United States and China argued that the summit meeting between Barack Obama and Xi Jinping in Sunnylands in early June represented a potential turning point in US-China relations. The meeting was never intended to be that. As White House briefers emphasized, the point was for the two leaders to get to know each other and prepare for a hard slog working through tough issues ranging from North Korea to cyber-espionage. The relaxed setting and sunny smiles certainly sent the signal that the two leaders were ready to roll up their sleeves and solve problems together. The language of the two leaders in their joint press conference also quietly revealed the strikingly different visions each has for the future of the bilateral relationship and the future of order in East Asia.
Xi Jinping’s vision built on his theme of a new model of great power relations. What exactly that new model means is a subject of some debate among scholars in both the United States and China, but the contours seem apparent enough. First and foremost, the point is to avoid the kind of violent collisions between rising and status quo powers that led to two world wars in the last century. Obama, no doubt, would agree with that. Moreover, under Xi’s new model of great power relations China and the United States would seek to solve problems together in Asia and more broadly wherever possible. That too would square with Obama’s hopes for US-China relations.
Other aspects of the new model of great power relations being advanced by Xi, however, could be more problematic for Washington. He, no doubt, aims for relations built on the premise that Beijing thought was behind the November 2009 US-China joint statement, in which Obama and Hu Jintao promised mutual respect for each other’s “core interests.” To Washington, this ill-considered language simply meant an expression of sensitivity to Chinese equities on Taiwan, Xinjiang, and Tibet. To Beijing, however, the statement implied virtual acceptance of spheres of influence, particularly in the wake of the Lehman shock and anticipation of American weakness. In the Hu-Obama summit in January 2011, the US side insisted on striking all references to “core interests” from the joint statement, but Xi wants the principle reaffirmed under his new model. The goal is not a “G-2” (as proffered by Jeffrey Sachs or Fred Bergsten) since that would imply shared responsibility for management of the global economy, but instead a bipolar condominium in which Beijing and Washington each have effective vetoes over the other’s major actions in Asia. This is not an unreasonable goal for a rising continental power trying to reclaim its position of pre-eminence in Asia, but hardly one palatable to the prevailing power in the region today.
Though Xi articulated none of this at Sunnylands, there are several assumptions that likely inform his vision of the future regional order in Asia. First, as an enthusiastic student of Marxist thought and dialectic materialism, he would see great significance in the fact that China now trades more with almost all US allies in the region than the United States does. As CSIS polling of regional elites demonstrated in 2009, the prevailing Chinese vision of the future order also emphasizes the principle of non-interference in internal affairs over the acceptance of universal principles of good governance, political liberty, and the rule of law. In addition, where Beijing’s vision of the future order is premised on multipolarity in the international system, it aims at bipolarity in Asia between the United States and China. This requires the marginalization of Japan. Japan is presented repeatedly by Beijing as an isolated nation in violation of the understandings at Potsdam. (In fact, polling outside of China and Korea generally finds that Japan is the most trusted of the major powers in the region). Finally, lying behind the vision of a bipolar structure of great power relations in Asia is the assumption that the United States is the declining pole—not ripe for challenging yet, but with the material forces of history having taken hold.
Like Xi Jinping, Obama truly wants to avoid conflict with China and probably is confident Beijing and Washington will be able to navigate the difficult waters ahead. As his counterpart, he is committed to working together on problems in a pragmatic way. And, as Obama accurately attests, the United States and China do have a stake in each other’s success. However, his statements at Sunnyland implied a different future order in Asia. Although he generally loathes using the rhetoric of George W. Bush, Obama reverted to the Bush formula for US-China relations, describing a “cooperative, constructive, and candid” approach to Beijing. (The Obama administration had originally dropped the word “candid” and replaced it with “positive,” but that was out at Sunnylands). Obama was clearly having none of the concert-of-power flavor of the new model of great power relations, having experienced several important teachable moments of his own in the aftermath of the 2009 joint statement. In general, the Obama administration has followed the strategic approach begun by Clinton and Bush, actively engaging China, but also trying to hedge, dissuade, deter, and shape it through close ties to allies and like-minded states in the region. Under this vision, Japan is a major power to be respected in the future order of Asia (despite occasional problems with historical revisionism and the somewhat shabby protocol treatment of Prime Minister Abe compared with President Xi). Meanwhile, under the American vision of Asia-Pacific community-building the guiding principles should be “21st Century” universal norms such as rule-of-law, just governance, and political and economic openness—not non-interference in internal affairs.
Far from welcoming an a priori strategic understanding with China on spheres of influence to reinforce stability before America declines, Obama does not accept the premise that America will decline (despite what his critics in the Republican Party charge). Indeed, in the American worldview most of our key allies accept a regional order based on universal norms and reject (usually) the premise of American decline. Obama’s vision of future regional order and US-China relations would be peaceful, but somehow evocative of John Foster Dulles’ peaceful evolution strategy of 1958 that Mao lambasted at the time. In short, in the American vision China changes itself much more than China changes the system.
In many respects, these competing visions of regional order have been just below the surface of US-China relations since at least 1949 and certainly since 1972, and Xi and Obama are not going to resolve them in one summit or even one term in office. It would, therefore, be a mistake to focus entirely on the discourse between Washington and Beijing when trying to judge the prospects for bilateral relations in the months and years ahead. No less important will be the way that developments in the region reinforce or alter the assumptions of Chinese and American leaders about the forces of history surrounding their bilateral relationship. The deterioration of US-Japan ties in the 1930s, for example, was as much about the collapse of European imperialism, the Great Depression, and the rise of nationalism and communism as it was about the discourse between Tokyo and Washington.
North Korea : Pyongyang’s brazen declaration of nuclear weapons status has led Beijing to increase pressure on the North, aligning the United States and China more closely on the issue than in the recent past. Chinese pressure may ebb once Pyongyang agrees to once again pretend it is committed to the principle of denuclearization of the peninsula, but it is also possible that North Korean unpredictability (or more accurately, predictable escalation) could alter the great power dynamics around the peninsula. Alternately, a growing North Korean threat unchecked by China could cause tighter security cooperation among US allies, introducing a new, though perhaps unavoidable source of friction in US-China relations. The government of Park Geun-hye thinks change in China’s role on the peninsula is possible. The diplomacy of the coming six months may tell whether that is so.
Japan : After victory in the July 21 Upper House election, Abe will reveal the real trajectory for Japanese politics in the months and years ahead. He is poised to have the most stable Japanese government since Koizumi Junichiro, but markets wonder whether the third arrow of structural reform in “Abenomics” will sustain the short-term higher growth triggered by the first two arrows of quantitative easing and stimulus. Seoul and Washington are also hoping that an energized Abe cabinet will focus on building stronger relations in Asia and moving beyond the contentious history issues that have complicated Japan’s regional diplomacy in Northeast Asia. The new cabinet line-up and economic, political, and diplomatic moves of Abe in the second half of 2013 will demonstrate whether the Chinese or American image of Japan’s role in Asia will prevail.
TPP : The Obama administration has declared its intention to have the Trans-Pacific Partnership substantially completed and to pass Trade Promotion Authority in the Congress this year. With Japan in TPP, the trade negotiations are now the most substantial in the world (with the Regional Cooperative Economic Partnership and the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership further behind in the rear view mirror at this point). Momentum on TPP would reinforce the open, rules-based, economic order being advanced by the United States in Asia and might encourage Beijing to continue shifting from criticism of the negotiations to acceptance that it is a critical building block that China may itself someday join.
Myanmar : Burma’s remarkable, though still reversible transition towards democracy will reverberate across ASEAN and Asia as a whole. Within the country the transitions of Indonesia and Korea from authoritarian to democratic rule are inspiring, and Burma’s successful example would have a further demonstration effect in countries like Cambodia and Laos. With 55 million people and a national identity built around a new democratic identity, Burma could tilt the normative center of gravity in ASEAN and with it the broader embrace of universal norms in Asia as a whole. But the challenges are immense, ranging from poor governance to unresolved resource-sharing issues behind the country’s ethnic insurgencies. The unlikely partnership of Thein Sein and Daw Aung San Suu kyi will be tested heavily in the year ahead.
The Pivot : The Obama administration’s trumpeted “pivot” or “rebalance” to Asia excited American maritime allies but alarmed Beijing in 2012, but now in 2013 American allies are asking whether a new secretary of state and secretary of defense will continue their predecessors’ intensive Asian diplomacy. The answer is yes and no. Asian summitry, from the East Asian Summit to Shangri-La and the ASEAN Regional Forum are now permanently affixed on American leaders’ calendars. Asia is simply too important to US interests for any deviation from the standard set for attendance in the first Obama term. But sequestration and a renewed fascination (horror) at events in the Middle East will tax the attention and resources of the United States, while regional scrutiny of the new national security team in Washington over the coming months will create an indelible impression that will color Obama’s whole second term. In the larger question of regional order, American staying power is one of the most important variables being measured from Colombo to Tokyo.
In short, to understand how the contrasting images of regional order presented by Obama and Xi in Sunnyland will be resolved, watch US-China summitry, but keep a peripheral eye on the fabric of the Asia-Pacific region as a whole. | 2019-04-18T15:12:20 | http://www.theasanforum.org/us-perspective/ |
A group of international statesmen being called "The Elders", including former U.S. president Jimmy Carter have arrived on the divided island of Cyprus to support U.N.-backed peace talks. For VOA, Nathan Morley reports from Nicosia.
President Carter, South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and former Algerian Foreign Minister Lakhdar Brahimi are here to urge greater international recognition of recent progress towards a lasting settlement in Cyprus.
On arrival, they lauded Cyprus President Dimitris Christofias and Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat for their expressed commitment to end to the decades-old dispute.
Ambassador of Slovakia Anna Tourenikova, whose embassy is sponsoring the visit, told VOA News Slovakia has played an important role in keeping an open communication channel between the two communities during the past two decades.
"The process of bi-communal dialogue has lasted already almost 20 years," said Ambassador Tourenikova. "They are coming together, they are discussing issues of common interest, they are listening to each other, and thus they are trying to contribute to the negotiation process and find the solution of the Cyprus problem."
Greek Cypriot leader Demetris Christofias and Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat started a new round of talks on September 3.
But in recent weeks reports the process has run into difficulties have been rife. In an interview with VOA News, U.N. Spokesman Jose Dias admitted that initial optimism had cooled.
"There was a lot of optimism, a lot of enthusiasm, when the process was re-launched," he said. "I think people are now sitting down and more soberly assessing the situation. We are still cautiously optimistic, we have come along way since March when the leaders started meeting."
Jimmy Carter is no stranger to Cyprus politics; he was responsible for the United States playing part in the ABC Cyprus peace plan in 1978, which failed to produce results.
The 12-point plan, called the ABC plan because of its American, British, and Canadian sponsorship, proposed a bi-regional, independent federal republic.
Former Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash told VOA that however symbolic, President Carter's visit was welcome news for most Cypriots.
"Knowing his interest in human rights, his visit, though late, maybe useful if he comes with an open mind - he usually does," he said.
Cyprus was split in a 1974 Turkish invasion triggered by a Greek-inspired coup. Turkish Cypriots live in its north and Greek Cypriots in the south, and numerous attempts to reunite Cyprus have failed. | 2019-04-26T06:57:49 | https://www.voanews.com/a/a-13-2008-10-08-voa33-66731092/561286.html |
Kathmandu, Nepal (CNN) - The death toll from the devastating earthquake that struck Nepal two days ago surged past 3,000 on Monday, a government official said. The desperate search for survivors from the country's worst natural disaster in more than 80 years continued.
The number of people confirmed dead in Nepal stands at 3,218, said Nepalese Ministry of Home Affairs spokesman Laxmi Dhakal. India has reported 56 deaths, and China another 20.
The death toll is expected to climb further as officials get information from the rugged countryside that makes up most of Nepal.
As day broke Monday, Nepal was still in survival mode after suffering a series of aftershocks following the huge initial quake on Saturday.
The damage was everywhere. Stunned residents wandered the streets of Kathmandu, the capital city of roughly 3 million people that's now the focus of international disaster relief efforts.
People dug through piles of debris where their homes once stood, seeking pieces of their former lives and, possibly, family members. Many of the injured were treated outside overflowing hospitals, where crowds of people gathered looking for relatives.
Dhakal, the government spokesman, said Monday 6,525 people were reported to have been injured.
One video aired on Nepal State Television captured a rare bright moment amid the death and devastation.
It shows uniformed officers digging though rubble, desperately trying to free a man who is hurt but alive. Rescuers lift him up, and cheers of joy erupt from the crowd. The clip shows him being put on a stretcher and carried to safety.
But often, searchers have found bodies rather than survivors. And the odds of saving the living decrease as the crucial first 72 hours tick by.
The earthquake and its aftershocks have turned one of the world's most scenic regions into a panorama of devastation.
"The journey towards my family home in Sitapaila was a map of quake destruction, with many houses -- old and new -- torn apart," wrote freelance journalist Sunir Pandey.
"A high wall surrounding a monastery had collapsed and the nuns had run to a nearby field," he wrote. "A mud-and-brick cottage had fallen on a blue motorbike but no trace could be found of its rider. Everywhere, survivors gathered wherever they could find open space -- fields, private compounds, empty roadside lots."
At night, many Nepalis slept in the open, shivering in the frigid air of the Himalayan Mountains but at least safe from falling debris.
"The entire city was under darkness," Christina Berry of England wrote for CNN affiliate IBN from Kathmandu. "There was not a single light anywhere. The power supply had been cut off. Our caring hotel manager gave us some food and some candles, too. Me and Alexandra were so scared. We slept in the open verandah of the hotel fearing more quakes in the night."
CNN producer Ingrid Formanek, who arrived Sunday night, said Kathmandu "looks like a city where buildings have been abandoned. People are hanging out in public squares and at intersections to avoid rubble from buildings."
"We were able to drive the main road to the hotel we're staying at, but they're not allowing anyone inside because of the aftershocks. The guests are in a big tent used for functions on the lawn. People are squeezed in. There are probably about 100 people in there," Formanek said. "The tents are covered, but water is seeping in from streets puddled with water, especially around the edges of the tent."
Residents of Kathmandu are banding together to get by, with stores shuttered and very few sources of food and drinkable water.
"Communal kitchens have been set up for cooking," Formanek said. "Not by the government -- people set them up on their own."
Many of the city's centuries-old buildings, which had stood stalwart for generations and provided a sense of national pride, have been toppled.
Dozens of bodies were pulled from Dharahara, the historic nine-story tower that came crashing down during the quake. A backhoe chipped away at the nub left protruding through its crumbled ruins.
When it seemed as if things couldn't get worse, a powerful aftershock jolted Nepal on Sunday, sending people screaming into the streets and causing new injuries for already traumatized residents. Climbers said it set off fresh avalanches on Mount Everest, where at least 17 people were reported to have been killed on Saturday.
The magnitude of the new quake Sunday was initially estimated at 6.7 by the U.S. Geological Survey, considerably weaker than the magnitude-7.8 of the devastating one of a day earlier.
Four Americans were confirmed to be among the dead.
Google executive Dan Fredinburg was one of them. According to an Instagram post by his sister on his account, an avalanche killed Fredinburg on Mount Everest.
Marisa Eve Girawong, who went by her middle name, of New Jersey also was killed by an avalanche on Everest. The physician's assistant was working as an Everest base camp doctor for Seattle-based Madison Mountaineering, when she was swept away to her death.
Tom Taplin, a filmmaker from Santa Monica, California, was making a documentary on Everest climbers, when wind stirred by the avalanche caused him to take a fall, CNN affiliate KABC reported.
The mountains that define Nepal make it difficult to deliver relief, though international efforts are in full swing. Aftershocks are also complicating operations.
A team of 260 emergency responders was about an hour away from departure at Israel's Ben Gurion Airport when an aftershock in Kathmandu delayed its departure.
The U.S. Agency for International Development's Disaster Response Team, made up of 54 urban search and rescue specialists from Fairfax County, Virginia, and six K-9s, headed to Nepal on Sunday on a C-17 military transport plane. The dogs are trained to find signs of life in rubble after a disaster.
But the trip was expected to take about 24 hours, reducing the precious hours left in which survivors are likely to be found.

The festive season is here and many people are looking to make a big purchase during this auspicious time. Are you considering a new television for your home, but are unsure of the things to look for while selecting your grand TV? Don't be misguided by the advertisers and the smooth-talk of retailers while making the purchase that you may plan to keep for a long time.
Save a few bucks and make the best choice by going through the list of 10 things you must know before buying that TV.
This is one of the biggest dilemma for all buyers, whether they should stick to the ageing Plasma TVs, go for the currently popular LED and LCD televisions or invest in OLED TVs, the technology of the future.
For starters, Plasma TVs will save you a lot of money but don't think about the initial cost only, since this type of television draws much more power than any of its competitors. Moreover, since it is an outgoing display technology, manufacturers will stop customer support in a few years, leaving you stranded if you need a component replaced. Nevertheless, Plasma TVs offer superior contrast and dark blacks, along with excellent viewing angles.
LCD TVs use CCLFs (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps) and are the next in line in terms of power consumption; however, these score poorly when it comes to viewing angles. Though cheaper than LED televisions, they cost a bit more than generation-old Plasma TVs and can be quite expensive when it comes to large screen sizes.
LED TVs, the most popular today, are basically LCD televisions with LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) instead of CCFLs. Currently the best in the crop of displays in terms of power consumption, these offer better blacks than LCD televisions and are comparatively thinner as well. This type of TV also responds well to colour variations and acute viewing angles, giving the best user experience.
OLED is the display technology of the future, with the thinnest screen, amazing colour rendition, lower power consumption and better viewing angles than existing display types. However, TVs with OLED displays are extremely costly and suffer from poor lifespan.
LED and LCD and televisions available today come with either IPS or VA panels. Since both types of TVs have LCD displays (LED televisions are LCD televisions with LED bulbs instead of CCFLs), both have liquid crystals. The different between IPS and VA panels lies between the alignment of the liquid crystals -- horizontal in IPS and vertical in VA panel.
The advantage that IPS has over VA is that there is no distortion or damage to the screen even if it is hit quite hard. Apart from that, it also offers great viewing angles and maintains consistency of colours. Therefore, if you are worried about your kids damaging the brand new television, then go for IPS panels, otherwise VA panels will be suitable. LG and Philips use IPS panels, while others like Sony and Samsung have VA displays.
Pixelation is the same with both the panels and you should be seated at least eight to 10 feet away from the TV for best picture quality.
Brighter display does not always make a better TV. If you go for a TV that offers high brightness, the dark colours - like grey and black - will appear dull. Brightness level in LED TVs is the best since the blacks appear dark as well, while Plasma and LCD televisions follow it from afar.
LED TVs are the best choice if you are concerned about the amount of power consumed by your new television. This is because of the LED bulbs used in the display, which consume 20-30% less power than CCFL's of LCD TVs. Last in the race come Plasma televisions, which will add a hefty amount to your power bill as compared to LCD as well as LED TVs.
Refresh rate in a television refers to the speed at which the display changes images. Ever encountered the problem of motion blur on the TV? This is because of poor refresh rate. Higher refresh rate in a television translates to a clearer picture quality and reduce this motion blur or ghosting. Moreover, when it comes to gaming, the refresh rates matter a lot.
If you want to connect your Xbox, Play Station or Wii to your TV, then Plasma televisions are the best option, since the refresh rate can reach up to 600Hz. On the other hand, LCD TVs deliver the worst results when the subject is of refresh rates and motion blur is a common complaint. A LED television can be a decent choice since it can handle high refresh rates in videos and games and render a quality image.
Internet connectivity in a TV is among the new advancements introduced in TVs, making them the much touted SmartTVs. But do you really plan to use internet on a big screen television? If you want to watch YouTube videos, chat with friends, check mails, play games and access Facebook on a TV, then you only have a handful options in the market. You can also look forward to features like gesture control, voice control and access to apps with these televisions.
Just so you know, accessing all forms of online content on the television would require you to attach a keyboard and mouse to it via USB port. And be ready to pay a steep price for a set of features that you could probably access on your phone as well.
If you decide against buying an internet-enabled TV, you can just link an Android set-top-box like Evo TV to your new non-internet television and enjoy all Android apps and seamless access World Wide Web on your TV.
And before you go for an internet-enabled TV, take into account the bandwidth you would consume with this new device at your disposal. You should consider the data transfer limit that your plan has and the speed of your net connection before opting for an internet TV.
3D viewing in a television is yet another feature that has caught the imagination of the masses. But the content producers, ie the companies which make 3D movies, videos etc, are still playing catch-up. There is a huge dearth of 3D content in the market and no TV can convert a 2D video into 3D. So, before going for a 3D television, be prepared to be disappointed since you will not be using that feature too much.
If you wear spectacles and are thinking of investing in a 3D television, keep in mind that you would have to use contact lenses in order to view the 3D images comfortably. You only alternative in India would be the 55-inch Toshiba 3D that renders three-dimensional images and videos without any glasses. However, this technological marvel costs a hefty Rs 12 lakh and may not be within everyone's budget.
Companies that claim to have TVs that can convert 2D videos to 3D are simply reproducing the same image twice in order to add depth to it. This process is quite effective but the on-screen rendition is not of the same quality as true 3D videos. However, this technology allows you to watch real-time videos in 3D as well, so you can convert any type of movie into a 3D extravaganza, well almost.
For 3D TVs, manufacturers usually provide a pair of 3D glasses for free. But for a family with kids or a joint family for that matter, you will need several more if the whole family wants to enjoy the experience together. These 3D glasses cost around Rs 2,000 in the Indian market, so depending upon the number of people in your family and the frequent guests, this amount can add up to a considerable amount.
Burn in is the condition in which an image remains on the TV screen even when the video has moved forward. This issue is attributed to phosphor, which is used in CRT and Plasma televisions. On the other hand, it does not affect LED TVs since they do not have phosphor at all, making them the best choice when it comes to this parameter.
Though LCD TVs do not use phosphor either, an image can stick to the screen permanently if the liquid crystals render the same image for too long. Nevertheless, for home usage, this problem is hardly an issue and makes LCD televisions almost immune to the issue.
With a swanky new TV come a host of ports, such as USB, Ethernet and HDMI, along with ports for AV and RF cables. These enable you to access content from smartphones, tablets and computers, connect to the internet and link the television to speakers. Remember more ports mean more functionality, since you may be at a loss if your TV has only one port and you want to attach a keyboard as well as a hard disk drive.
There are a few of accessories you would be required to buy with a new TV. If you want to view the content on your smartphone or tablet on the big screen of television, then be prepared to purchase a HDMI-to-miniHDMI cable. On the other hand, a HDMI-to-HDMI cable would be the need of the hour if you wish to view content of your laptop on the TV. But most of all, remember to purchase a voltage stabiliser as sudden change in voltage can damage the device, putting the burden of repair costs on your shoulders.
When the festive season beckons, manufacturers and retailers roll out offers to lure buyers, from slashed price to pack of DVDs to home theatre systems. Of course, you can always bargain the price of the TV you choose with the seller.
Another point to remember is that your new TV burns a hole in your pocket and its best that you opt for extended manufacturer warranty while making the purchase. This will make you immune to the associated costs in case any problems crop up with the device over time as the manufacturer will take care of the issue on its own.
Since a decent big screen TV now costs over Rs 30,000 in India, you may want to consider EMIoption to soften the financial blow on you. Nowadays, retailers will take just the details of your ID card and credit card to process the transaction at 0% interest. | 2019-04-21T15:11:54 | http://blog.kiranthidesigners.com/2012/11/10-things-to-know-while-buying-tvs-this.html |

Growing up as a child in South Sudan means being confronted at all too young an age with the consequences of war, violence, corruption, poverty and ill-health. In its radio program ‘Our Voices, Our Future’ Free Press Unlimited draws attention to these difficult issues in a way that is easy for children to understand. Specifically by allowing them to have their say. In this way, they can get a better grip on their environment and on their future.
¨We are still at war because we do not forgive, because we do not listen to each other,¨ declares a child with complete conviction in a program on peacebuilding. If only those in power in South Sudan had as much insight …. Because ever since its founding in 2011 this young state has been caught up in bloody conflicts. It is one of the most violent countries in the world with a very poor human rights and press freedom record.
Despite this ‘Our Voices, Our Future’ does not shy away from these challenging issues. The program is made for and by South Sudanese children. Often they themselves report on what is happening in their country, under the guidance of experienced journalists. In this way, not only they, but also the young listeners learn to think about the future of their country.
Together with adult program makers the kids decide upon the subjects to be featured. Matters such as schooling, parents, HIV and AIDS, children´s rights and peer pressure. The program is broadcast nationwide by Radio Miraya in Arabic and in English and has an audience of more than one hundred thousand listeners.
Since the start of the project in 2013 more than one hundred boys and girls have learnt how to make a radio program. Not only are they given a voice, they are also introduced to the basic principles of journalism. They also learn a lot about the technical aspects of program making. The children come from various South Sudanese states, in particular Eastern Equatoria, Central Equatoria and Western Bahr el Ghazal. The adult journalists have also been trained in how to connect with the experiences of children in their country.
¨It is important that a great deal of energy is devoted into combating human rights infringements now in South Sudan, all the more if they involve children. Access to information and giving a voice to those who otherwise would not be heard is essential,¨ says Taban Richard, presenter of ‘Our Voices, Our Future. A statement that Free Press Unlimited fully endorses. Because the youth of today will provide the leaders of the future in South Sudan.
Listen to the episodes of ‘Our Voices, Our Future’. | 2019-04-18T10:36:05 | https://www.freepressunlimited.org/en/projects/radio-in-south-sudan-children-speak-about-their-future |

Due to possible concerns over the storage of user data and other issues, the Indian government is delaying Facebook’s planned nationwide launch of the WhatsApp payment service in the country. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has reportedly asked WhatsApp, along with partner banks, to provide additional details about the system, Bloomberg reported.
“We are working closely with the Indian government, NPCI [National Payments Corporation of India] and multiple banks, including our payment service providers, to expand the feature to more people,” WhatsApp Spokesperson Anne Yeh told Bloomberg. The delay comes as the central bank of India has recently made payment services use local servers for customer data.
During the past several months, WhatsApp has launched a payments feature in India that now has around one million users. According to a report in Quartz, WhatsApp is in the process of fixing any issues with the payment feature and adding more functionality during beta testing of the service, which kicked off in February. The payment service is based on the Unified Payments Interface of the NPCI. By using that, WhatsApp eliminates the step of requiring a customer to load up a digital wallet. With its service, users can make payments directly from their bank accounts via a virtual ID, noted the report.
The move to launch a payment app in India makes sense, given that Credit Suisse predicts it will be a $1 trillion market by 2023, reported Quartz. WhatsApp has been slow in launching its payment app in the country because it first needed the nod from the government. But in April, WhatsApp also placed an ad for a head of India, which the report noted was an additional sign that WhatsApp wanted to expand in the country — including into the payments market. | 2019-04-24T22:45:59 | https://www.pymnts.com/news/payments-innovation/2018/whatsapp-payments-rollout-delay-india-facebook/ |

What better way to open than with bionic snails? I heard about these on the radio, and it inspires all sorts of ideas. I’ve been shopping for a solar charger to power gadgets for extended back-country travel, but what if we could just hook up electrodes to our dog, Lloyd? Austrailian Shepherds must have a higher wattage output than a snail, at least enough to recharge a GPS. | 2019-04-23T08:51:03 | https://biopace.wordpress.com/2012/03/ |
Christians in Britain and the US who claim that they are persecuted should "grow up" and not exaggerate what amounts to feeling "mildly uncomfortable", according to Rowan Williams, who last year stepped down as archbishop of Canterbury after an often turbulent decade.
"When you've had any contact with real persecuted minorities you learn to use the word very chastely," he said. "Persecution is not being made to feel mildly uncomfortable. 'For goodness sake, grow up,' I want to say."
True persecution was "systematic brutality and often murderous hostility that means that every morning you wonder if you and your children are going to live through the day". He cited the experience of a woman he met in India "who had seen her husband butchered by a mob".
Lord Williams's years as archbishop of Canterbury were marked by turbulence over the church's stance on the role of gay priests and bishops; gay marriage; and homophobia in the wider Anglican communion – with many members of the church expressing disappointment at a perceived hardening in its position on homosexuality.
Asked if he had let down gay and lesbian people, he said after a pause: "I know that a very great many of my gay and lesbian friends would say that I did. The best thing I can say is that is a question that I ask myself really rather a lot and I don't quite know the answer."
Sharing a platform at the Edinburgh international book festival with Julia Neuberger, senior rabbi at the West London Synagogue, Williams launched a withering critique of popular ideas about spirituality. "The last thing it is about is the placid hum of a well-conducted meditation," he said.
Asked by Neuberger whether he felt organised religion encouraged the life of the spirit, he replied: "The answer is of course a good Anglican yes and no". While it can pass on the shared values of tradition, it can also operate as simply "the most satisfying leisure activity possible. It can also be something that you use to bolster your individual corporate ego."
Discussing the relationship between church and state, he said the established church was "an odd business, a very messy and complicated business" but that he was "bloody-minded" about the notion of disestablishment. "I am not in a hurry to see the church disestablished if the pressure is coming from what I regard as the wrong kind of secularism."
On Prince Charles's apparent desire to be known as "defender of faith" (as in all faiths) rather than "defender of the faith" (as in simply Anglicanism) on his accession to the throne, the two clerics disagreed.
Neuberger said she believed "defender of faith" was exactly right. Williams replied: "You're wrong … defender of the faith is just one of those historic titles that is part of the stream of things; it means almost what you want it to mean." Neuberger replied: "What's important about what Prince Charles has said is that it assumes parity of esteem, which for my lot is quite important."
Williams was asked whether the Church of England ran the risk of functioning merely as a well-meaning NGO.
Referring to the current archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby's recent statements on wanting to compete with payday lender Wonga, he said: "If the church or some of its representatives make remarks on matters of public interest, it can trigger the question where does that come from?
"Can you trace back your attitude to, say, credit unions or the environment to something that is distinctive in the religious heritage? And that means pursuing the conversation a bit.
"The risk of being reduced to an NGO, another woolly, well-meaning liberal thinktank or ambulance service – that's not a fate I would relish for my church," he said.
• This article was amended on 16 August 2013. The original described Julia Neuberger as president of the Liberal Judaism movement. She formerly held that post but stepped down from it when she became senior rabbi at the West London Synagogue in March 2011. | 2019-04-25T18:44:18 | https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2013/aug/15/rowan-williams-persecuted-christians-grow-up |

How traveling along the path of the unknown gives us the chance to give God greater glory.
At Tel Arad, the whole land of Canaan lay before the Hebrews. They had waited and wandered forty years in the wilderness. The Promised Land was theirs for the taking. Right there before them!
Instead, God led the Hebrews on a major detour.
Tel Arad in Israel’s Negev offers many benefits to its visitors. It’s an oasis of ancient archaeology. It gives a rare glimpse of Judah’s idolatry.
And it speaks to us today of the need to tap the brakes on our impatience with God’s leading. | 2019-04-22T06:18:08 | https://waynestiles.com/category/god-theology-2/sovereignty-god-theology-2/ |
The 264 Fork Lift Platform was one of the last motorized accessories introduced by Lionel in the postwar era having freight as the theme. As Lionel entered the 1960s, newly designed accessories generally had a space or military concepts as a theme.
Although rather plain looking compared to some of the more sophisticated accessories of the early 1950s, it remains a popular item and is riveting to watch in action! The jaws from the fork lift will pick up timber from the flatcar -- one piece at a time -- and drop it onto the platform. The accessory is designed to only unload timber from the flatcar -- it must be re-loaded manually by the operator.
Since this accessory was introduced in the late 1950's -- as interest in both model and real-life trains was on the decline -- sales of the Fork Lift Platform were mediocre. Therefore, locating a complete and boxed version -- with all individual components -- will require a fair amount of time. Similar to most accessories, the small components are generally fragile and frequently lost or damaged.
The 264 Fork Lift Platform Set includes the following standard features: black sheet- metal base, brown plastic molded platform, orange plastic molded fork lift and a white simulated crane.
Also included in the set was a red flatcar with three brown molded timber supports mounted to the car, 8 metal stakes, 12 pieces of timber, 90C controller, instruction sheet and a packing envelope.
The dimension of the platform base is approximately 10" x 10 1/2 ".
Only Known Variation - All Fork Lift Platform sets have a brown molded base with orange fork lift, white crane and a flatcar with timbers. | 2019-04-24T14:20:15 | http://postwarlionel.com/accesories/industries/264-fork-lift-platform/ |

Over the last 7 years my wife and I have experienced life changing experiences that have left us destitute having lost a business, two properties and everything except our personal belongings gone. Creditors hounding us and still not clear of their harassment. These should have been dealt within the wind up of our company but sadly our paid representation turned out to be as corrupt as the people we bought the business off. Having carved up our estate they have gone back into the woodwork leaving us to our own devices. But this is the subject of an independent book and not what to I want to document here, serving only as a backdrop to our plans and progress and the obstacles along the way.
It was 2009 we bought the security company and 2013 we had to force closure and liquidate the entity. In the ensuing months we had to privately auction our property in Cape Town, a 3 bedroom apartment 10 minutes walk from the waterfront and our home in Hermanus 2 minutes walk from the Marine Hotel.
So we were left with no place to live, no income and debatable prospects. It was a very sobering time. Friends rallied round and all they could to boost our spirits and elevate our mood, but is fair to say that my wife and I experienced gut wrenching fear. Everything at that point in time seemed black and foreboding. The darkness would lift but not for some months. The auctioning of our home had its hitches but it was voluntary on our part in order to preempt creditors moves. In hindsight I believe we were too hasty in our actions. However at that time I secured a contract as a Quality Lead in a mine revamp in Liberia and so it made sense for us to get rental accommodation for my wife who would be on her own for 6 weeks out every 8. I did not want her dealing with creditors on her own so this was a good solution especially as we were renting off a good friend.
We were ensconced in the rental property for 2.5 years but became obvious that our landlord was seeking to make a bigger return on his property. The amount was too rich for my purse and so I gave notice to leave 30 days hence. And so it was that we were faced with our current situation. Due to having 2 dogs we needed a rental that was pet friendly. We were able to acquire the same from another long time friend and that is where we are presently. But this was not to be a long time rental because the writing was on the wall and in the interim period of first knowing we would have to leave our first rental we had spent time scouring Hermanus and surrounding districts for vacant land. Very briefly, we did not want to buy a property and pay transfer tax and we are on limited budget because this build for our new home is going to be cash driven and only cash driven. That in itself offers constraints and a keen eye to value for money. My disdain of gated communities because they add just another layer authority and committee interference drove us away from the new gated communities being constructed that offer a turnkey solution right down to laid lawns and everything connected and completed. Another factor that would make the hairs on the back of my neck bristle is the very limited plot space normally 600 sq meters which affords space for the house, garage and very little else, not to mention the proximity of your neighbours. Not a satisfactory outcome for the R 1.5 million they were asking for at the time. The land alone was R 600, 000, R 1000 per sq. meter. Much searching and researching led us down the path to find the ideal plot for our needs in Fisherhaven. The plot is just under 3 times the size of those above and 2.5 times less the cost.
I have to admit there was some second thoughts at first but the deal being done and our commitment to building a home for cash within our budget to secure a good part of our future and obviously a place for us to live was our goal and desire. There was talk of the proximity of Fisherhaven approximately 14 kilometers from Hermanus, a lack of local amenities and the distinctly rural feel to the location were the early objections. In reality what we experienced in traffic snarl ups and just the shear numbers of people during the peak Christmas season which makes everything you have to do like parking that much more frustrating and annoying. The run by car which lied to the west and the airport side of Hermanus takes 10 to 20 minutes depending on traffic. On the west side of Hermanus near Sandbaai there is a 300, 000 sq. m Mall being erected by Checkers who is one of the anchor retailers. This just means traversing 3 sets of traffic lights and a distance of 10 km to access the Mall and all its delights. What is gained by living in Fisherhaven is the tranquility, the space to live undisturbed by your neighbour and room to think without distraction. Sounds like my kind of place!
We have sourced a builder having scanned and assessed the market. We are happy with our choice and so now we are embarking on the early tasks having sat down with him and addressed and ironed out.
We are building a one story abode of 168 sq. m which is a modest abode by all standards but the remit that a step and the outside surrounding landscaped garden will form part of an extended external entertainment area serves our purposes to have outdoor living in the summer months and minimal area to maintain and heat in the winter. The house is of my wife’s and mine design which is currently being formalised by a draftsman to be presented to the Municipality for ratification. The Christmas holidays conclusion will mark the gearing up of the build activity once the plans are approved. Then it’s game on and we are looking forward to it.
There has been one problem to be addressed already which id one neighbour appears to have encroached onto my land by a meter wide and 40 meters length and has erected a 1.8 m vibracrete fence full length. This will be addressed and I don´t envisage difficulties.
5-6 months build will bring us to May-June 2017 and we are marking the time and the milestones. This is the log of our trials and tribulations and long sought after success.
You are starting a new life and you cannot think of any better way to jumpstart this goal than by having your own home built. You imagine yourself leaving your 8 to 5 work and very excited of driving your way to your new dwelling where your family awaits you. But how can this ideal be just as a perfect or near perfect one if the neighborhood you’re going to build your house is one of the busiest and noisiest? The rest of the article gives you some ideas on how to resolve the noise pollution which may be brought by the environment where your house is to stand.
Developers and house contractors have just mastered some techniques on how a new construction home can have a more quiet environment. This is very far from how homes decades ago are constructed where roofs and walls have marginal effects on blocking sound.
Today, there are many soundproofing techniques that can be done with the most obvious way which is to cut down on the noise makers themselves. Within the household, appliances perform their tasks to make tasks easier to do. Over time and through regular use, the parts become subjected to wear and tear which may eventually cause disturbing sounds like rattles, buzzing, and other unwanted or ringy noises. You should fix them or have them be fixed by professional repairmen before damages become worse and sounds become more disturbing.
Do you also know that among the most cost-efficient way of blocking sound is with the use of sound-absorbing home accessories? Home decor stores now sell sound-reducing or sound-blocking curtains. These are proven to decrease sound entry and not having tiles and hardwoods as dividers which just cause sound to bounce and bring vibrating effect to the household.
The installation of doors from one room to another is also an effective way to reduce sound. Solid doors are easy to install whether you are building a new home or just in the mood to remodel or sound proof.
However, the door themselves must be soundproofed too. The opening and closing of such passages might just be among the noisiest activities in the household. Reduce the clanging sound they produce by weather-stripping them. Self-adhesive tapes which can be bought on rolls can help you do the trick.
A cozy home is one where you can feel relaxed after battling a day of tiring tasks at the workplace. It is where you should find solace most of the time and where noise should be something that is very far from being disturbing. Soundproofing is a key element to do this. If you’re building your home, remember to sound proof!
By getting your very own small house, then you essentially have a vacation home, especially when you are buying away from home. If you are buying one to serve as a holiday home, then you need to consider some amenities that will definitely come in handy as you use it.
This is yet another very important aspect to consider before making the purchase. Security is an important aspect that has to be dealt with. When you have strong doors and secure windows, it will be able to keep thieves away from your property. Making your home foolproof is one way in which you can guarantee your own safety. | 2019-04-20T12:41:15 | http://podzone-ro.com/category/real-estate/page/3/ |

Since the links and random thoughts are just piling up here over at shellen.com and we are trying to clean house before we have the family over for the 22-pound bird on Thursday I better post 'em now. Lots of self referential stuff here too (yeah, I'm not sure how that's different from any other day either).
While at Ev's apartment working on the new Pentium 4 killer, patent-pending Pyra V chip, we took a break long enough to have a picture snapped with some friends.
My shampoo says 'normalizing shampoo' but I feel the same. I guess it was just wishful thinking on my part.
Grant just dedicated a Dilated Peoples song to me on his radio show with the comment 'I think he thinks he's African American or something.' Geez, you tell a guy you like the Outkast album 'Stankonia' and you get branded a hip hop supastar.
While were are on the music tip, the make-up show for the cancelled Weezer show from 9/11 in San Jose was last night. The bill was Jimmy Eat World, Tenacious D, and Weezer. It was a great show. Don't tell Allison but I am putting Jimmy back into the pool of names for our potential son (or daughter) after last night's show. They certainly know how to rock in a way that makes me think that Weezer should have opened for them. Either that or they both should have opened for Tenacious D. The 'D' were on fire. Both barrels firing rock gems and comedic nuggets. They were dirty. They were funny. They rocked. You should see them if you get the chance.
shellen.com is a nearly curse free zone. I do occasionally use the choice four-letter word in real life but you won't ever see it here. Why you might ask? It's a family site. Mom reads the site. Family reads the site. People who would never in a million years take me up on my recommendation to go see Tenacious D read the site. Luckily any time I want to say the word s*&$ I can post it over on MetaGrrrl, as Dinah has graciously offered. The other six words are still up for grabs. Thanks Dinah!
I have a friend named Ash who recently started an organic vegetable delivery company in the Bay Area. They don't have any Aeron chairs in their office and from what I understand don't have any walnut desks at all so they shouldn't suffer the same fate as Webvan [r.i.p.]. Anyway, it's called West Side Organics. If you like your veggies fresh and free of pesticides this is for you.
I'm going to the Weblogger Interest Group meeting tonight. They corrected last meetings oversight of not having beer AT the meeting. Well see how it goes.
Lastly, the baby is doing well so far. We heard the heartbeat the other day and it sounds like a horse galloping down the street. That's a good sign or were having a foal. Anyway, Allison rejoined the blogging world with a somewhat spiritual post today. I'm not sure what to make of it either. | 2019-04-25T18:09:04 | https://blog.shellen.com/2001/11/another-shoebox-full-of-links.asp |
ARGUS first started life in Dunedin 1974 playing covers by Wishbone Ash, Steely Dan, The Doobie Bros and other great 70’s bands, quickly becoming one of Dunedin’s most popular bands around the pubs and clubs. In their relatively short career they also supported international acts, Blood Sweat and Tears and global music band, Osibisa.
In late 1975 guitarist Peter Dickson, drummer Marcel Rodeka and bass player Denis Gibbins joined in the formation of international touring and recording band, Mother Goose and moved to Australia and signed to Mushroom Records.
From there, building on their huge live following, the band went on to live and tour the US and Canada. Those from the era will fondly remember Mother Goose and those jam packed Saturday afternoon and evening sessions at the Shoreline Motor Hotel. Special times.
ARGUS lead singer Brian Seque and guitarist Chris Davies went on to form NZ touring and recording band Cruze, becoming an exciting and hugely popular band on the Lion Brewery touring circuit during the 1980’s.
In 2005, the idea to come together again in Dunedin and play a show was just that, a fun idea, but the venue was packed and the audiences loved it. This was the first time the band had stood on a stage together since 1975. All four shows were sold out before a note had been played.
With guitarists Peter Dickson and Chris Davies living in Australia and with Brian, Marcel and Denis in NZ, rehearsals were set for only four days before the first show and it was amazing how easily the band had slipped back into ARGUS mode. The band was determined to capture the energy and spirit of the songs and clearly enjoyed being together again. The shows rocked and everyone walked away happy.
Since then ARGUS has returned several times to Dunedin to packed and enthusiastic crowds each time, smashing it to 12,000 people in Dunedin’s Octagon, on New Years Eve, 2011.
With all band members still active in the music industry and with many years of professional playing and touring experience all over the world behind them, an ARGUS rock show is not to be missed! It’s a show where the band and audience share a love of great classic rock songs with quality musicians played and performed only the ARGUS way. Needless to say the band love ARGUS gigs as much as the audience. | 2019-04-20T12:16:00 | https://www.twilightentertainments.co.nz/argus.html |
Sitting in a small office tucked into the wall of Bamburgh’s west courtyard, Young tells the unlikely story of archaeology in the castle. It begins in the 1960s, when famously eccentric archaeologist Brian Hope-Taylor started to excavate inside the castle walls. He had previously dug at a nearby early royal Anglo-Saxon settlement called Yeavering that he believed was a co-capital with Bamburgh of the kingdom of Bernicia, which predated Northumbria. “He was one of the first archaeologists to seriously study Anglo-Saxon sites,” says Young. “He really was a pioneer.” Scholars consider Hope-Taylor’s meticulous publication of the Yeavering excavation a landmark in Anglo-Saxon archaeology. Unfortunately, though he made several spectacular discoveries at Bamburgh, including the best-preserved Anglo-Saxon sword in Britain and a solid gold plaque depicting a stylized animal known as the “Bamburgh Beast,” he was not able to publish his results before his death in 2001.
Young has a personal investment in Hope-Taylor’s work. He grew up visiting Bamburgh and credits the formative experience of exploring the castle as a boy with inspiring him to become an archaeologist. In 1996, he and his colleagues contacted the castle owners to request permission to follow up on Hope-Taylor’s excavations. “We didn’t know where he had dug,” says Young, “so we were hoping to use geophysics and small-scale excavation to determine that.” The owners gave their permission, and the small team began their work. Twenty years later, Young shakes his head and smiles at the memory. “We were thinking of it as a short project that we’d do on weekends among friends,” he says. But that short project quickly bloomed into a much bigger effort when it became apparent to the team that the richness of the site meant it would take years to understand it properly. They also became the unexpected heirs of Hope-Taylor’s considerable legacy.
While searching for office space, Young and the castle’s groundskeeper broke the locks on the small rooms built into the castle walls that had sat unopened for decades. What they found inside was a kind of time capsule of Hope-Taylor’s fieldwork. Still astonished by the discovery, Young shares pictures of the rooms that show they were filled with dust-covered boxes of bones, artifacts, and soil samples, all excavated by Hope-Taylor. A 1974 copy of the Daily Telegraph still resting on a chair helped establish the date of the last field season. “We’ve accidently inherited an enormous body of work at an extraordinary site,” says Young. Hope-Taylor’s students later found years’ worth of Bamburgh excavation notes, and even artifacts, such as a sword, in his apartment. Now, the Bamburgh team’s task is not only to understand their own excavations, but to synchronize their findings with the copious record Hope-Taylor left behind.
Though a fortress has probably stood above the crag at Bamburgh since prehistoric times, little is known about the site before the Romans arrived. Ancient historians record that the Britons built a coastal fort at the site and that it was the stronghold of the Votadini, a tribe that lived beyond the northern frontier of the empire, but whose leaders probably depended on Roman power for their authority. “Hope-Taylor discovered Roman-era pottery at Bamburgh,” says Young. “That helps confirm that Britons living here were aligned with Rome. The Romans might have even been paying off warlords to help protect the frontier.” While the team has found stray Roman-era artifacts, such as pieces of glass, they have yet to dig as deep as Hope-Taylor did. For now, they are focused on the Anglo-Saxons.
The site first rose to prominence in 547, when an Angle warlord known as Ida the Flamebearer seized the Briton coastal fortress and founded a kingdom called Bernicia. His grandson Æthelfrith brought the neighboring Anglian realm of Deira under his dominion around 604, creating the unified kingdom of Northumbria. Æthelfrith renamed the citadel Bebbanburgh, or Bebba’s fortress, after one of his wives. For the next three centuries it played a central role in English history, with its throne often changing hands between warrior kings. Remarkably, an early archaeological find at Bamburgh allows scholars to visualize exactly what one of those thrones would have looked like.
In the late nineteenth century groundskeepers clearing foliage discovered intricately carved stone fragments. For more than a hundred years they were thought to be the remains of a standing cross. But when Rosemary Cramp reexamined the pieces, she identified them as the arm of a stone chair dating to around 800. Similar carved stone chairs have been found at Northumbrian monasteries, and are thought to be bishops’ thrones. Since Bamburgh was a secular site, such a throne would have been used by the Northumbrian kings themselves and likely played an important ceremonial role. “It’s an amazing artifact,” says Young. “These thrones were called gift-stools, and were central to a fundamental ritual during which a warrior would receive gifts from his lord in full view of the court, binding him to the king until death.” A replica of the throne now sits in the central courtyard at Bamburgh.
Perhaps the most famous of the kings to have sat on the Northumbiran throne was Æthelfrith’s son St. Oswald, a warrior king of great renown who was known as “Whiteblade.” As Bede tells it, when Æthelfrith was killed in battle in 617 by a rival king, Oswald fled north to seek sanctuary with the Irish. After 17 years, he returned to the kingdom and retook the throne by force. He also brought with him Irish monks who converted pagan Anglo-Saxons and founded a monastery on the island of Lindisfarne, which became an important center of medieval Christianity. Oswald ruled from Bamburgh as the most powerful king in England for eight years, only to be killed in battle and have his corpse dismembered. Bede records that Oswald’s followers found his arm, which would not decompose. They brought this incorruptible arm to Bamburgh, where it was kept in a silver shrine. Oswald was later canonized and became the object of a cult that was venerated throughout Europe. When Young and his team conducted remote sensing at the castle’s twelfth-century chapel, they found that it was likely built on the remains of Bamburgh’s seventh-century church. “That was probably where Oswald’s arm was kept,” says Young.
Roberts’ team also analyzed strontium isotope levels in the teeth, which can pinpoint where an individual spent his or her childhood. The results showed the people buried at the Bowl Hole cemetery were a surprisingly diverse group. “We found that relatively few locals were buried in the cemetery,” says Roberts. “Most of these people came from other regions of the British Isles.” Anglo-Saxon kings would often exchange children or close relatives as royal hostages to ensure that the terms of treaties were observed. Some of the individuals could have been staying at Bamburgh as just this kind of hostage. The team also found one man who came from the Outer Hebrides, near to where St. Oswald fled during his exile. Artifacts found with the burial and radiocarbon dating show that the man lived in the seventh century, around the same time as Oswald. Perhaps he accompanied the famous king back to Northumbria as part of his retinue. “That’s as close as archaeology can get us to the Oswald story,” says Young.
A few of the people interred in the cemetery came from even farther afield. “Some of the strontium signatures show childhoods spent in Scandinavian countries, and this is centuries before the Viking era,” says Roberts. Others were from the southern Mediterranean or North Africa. “And it wasn’t just men,” she says, “but women from Scandinavia and southern Europe as well.” Whether the people lived permanently at Bamburgh or died there while visiting, possibly while on a pilgrimage or working there temporarily, is impossible to know. But clearly, at its height, Bamburgh was a cosmopolitan place, with people from across Britain and Europe gathering in the great hall where the Northumbrian kings held court.
Walking around the excavation, Young points out sections Hope-Taylor originally explored, as well as subsoil that shows traces of intense burning. It’s possible that that burning could relate to a dark period in Bamburgh’s history, when the Vikings first raided and then settled in the kingdom. In fact, Northumbria was the first of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms to be ravaged by the Vikings. From the castle’s battlements, visitors today can clearly see Lindisfarne, where, in 793, Norsemen carried out an infamous raid on the island’s monastery, a brutal event regarded as the beginning of the Viking Age.
Fires would have been a constant threat to Anglo-Saxons, who have long been thought to have largely lost the art of making stone buildings and instead built almost exclusively with wood. But Young and his team are finding evidence that the people in Bamburgh knew more about stonework than was previously believed. “We think of Anglo-Saxon England as a wooden world, really,” says Young. “And originally we believed the citadel was defended mainly by a wooden palisade.” But evidence for batch production of mortar on a large scale at Bamburgh, first discovered by Hope-Taylor, led them to think stoneworking might have been more important than they realized. In 2008, during excavation around the castle’s chapel, they unearthed a stone wall dating to the eighth century. “We know there were Roman-style stone churches in Northumbria that were largely rebuilt,” says Young. “I think it was rare, but we still probably underestimate how much stone building was done by the Anglo-Saxons.” He thinks that Bamburgh’s stone walls were not only formidable defensive structures, but also a deliberate reference to the power of the Roman world, a showy display of authority that would have stood out dramatically on the landscape.
Young continues his walk to a second large area under excavation, this one near an entrance to the castle that has been known as St. Oswald’s Gate since at least 775, when it is mentioned in a chronicle describing Bamburgh. Here the team has found trash deposits containing vast amounts of animal bones that show the castle residents were eating choice cuts of meat. They’ve found evidence here for a number of different grains, and even lentils, demonstrating that the court enjoyed a diverse diet along with its mead.
Near the trash deposits they have also unearthed the remains of two small halls, one timber and the other stone, where it’s likely Bamburgh’s gate wardens, who controlled access to the fortress, lived and worked. St. Oswald’s Gate is now largely made of eighteenth-century masonry, but as Young ducks through the small entryway, he recalls an earlier excavation he conducted under the steep steps leading away from the gate. “We took off the eighteenth-century paving and exposed the bedrock below,” he says. What they found was a dolerite track polished to a sheen from hundreds of years of being trod upon. “Everyone who lived at Bamburgh would have come through this gate,” says Young. “All the people we found buried in the cemetery would have known this walk.” The steep path is stark evidence of how difficult it must have been for enemy warriors to approach England’s most formidable fortress, but it’s also a reminder that the citadel was once the home and workplace for generations of Anglo-Saxons, who would have struggled up this path every day.
Young begins to talk about how the Bamburgh Project is nearing the end of its excavation phase, and mentions that publication will soon be the focus of most of the effort. As he speaks, he stops and points to a church in the distance, located in the village that spreads out to the south of the castle. “All the people from the cemetery will be reburied there,” he says. With the study of their remains complete, the members of one of England’s greatest Anglo-Saxon courts, who came to the citadel from throughout Britain and Europe, will be returned to the earth. | 2019-04-21T08:35:57 | https://www.archaeology.org/issues/222-1607/letter-from/4564-stronghold-of-the-kings-in-the-north |
A Turkish ultra-nationalist group has attacked a synagogue in Istanbul’s Beyoğlu district with stones during a protest against the new Israeli restrictions on Palestinians’ entry to the al-Aqsa mosque.
The Alperen Hearths, an ultranationalist youth organization linked to the right-wing nationalist Great Union Party (BBP), gathered in front of the Neve Shalom synagogue late on July 20 and kicked and threw rocks at the building.
The setting up of metal detectors at the entrances of the al-Aqsa compound has led to a wave of anger among Palestinians, who called for the immediate removal of the devices.
The group’s district head, Kürşat Mican, called Israel a “terrorist state” and said Israeli authorities have been oppressing people at the mosque for a long time.
“Israel has banned Friday prayers at al-Aqsa mosque for many years. It has not stopped at that and now it is harassing our Palestinian brothers by putting x-ray devices at the entrances to our sanctuary. Our brothers are not able to pray at the al-Aqsa mosque. This is limiting to freedom of religion, faith and worship,” Mican said in front of the synagogue. He also warned Zionists to pull themselves together.
“We are carrying out a protest here. Zionists should pull it together. They shouldn’t prevent our brothers from the freedom to worship. We will prevent your freedom to worship here just like you are preventing ours there. We can come here tomorrow just like we are standing here today. You will not be able to get inside,” he said.
The group dispersed after the press statement.
The attack on the synagogue was met with criticism, with the Turkish Chief Rabbinate Foundation urging authorities to take necessary action.
“We are condemning the provocative act in front of the Neve Shalom synagogue and expecting related authorities to do what’s necessary,” read the statement posted on Twitter.
The act was also slammed by social media users, with many pointing out to the fact that the way to protest Israel is not by attacking a place of worship for the Jewish community in Turkey.
“Places of worship cannot be tools for political acts,” said main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) Istanbul lawmaker Barış Yarkadaş.
“What is the reason behind the government’s silence?” asked Istanbul deputy Sezgin Tanrıkulu, another CHP lawmaker to condemn the act.
Meanwhile, a number of non-governmental organizations in Turkey are planning to protest new Israeli restrictions.
Israeli restrictions will be condemned across Turkey, particularly in Istanbul and Ankara, after Friday prayers. Protests are expected to continue on July 22.
In Istanbul, the Humanitarian Relief Foundation (İHH) Chairman Bülent Yıldırım will hold a news meeting and read a statement prepared by 50 academics and religious scholars.
The Anatolian Youth Association (AGD) will organize a protest after Friday prayers in the city.
In Ankara, a group plans to gather at the Hacı Bayram Veli mosque to protest.
Protests are planned in other provinces, including the southern province of Antalya, the southeastern province of Diyarbakır and the western province of İzmir. | 2019-04-20T04:22:37 | http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/turkish-ultranationalist-group-stones-istanbul-synagogue-during-protest-against-al-aqsa-restrictions--115780 |

Moving the brand in-house from the spirits brand developer, Glen Turner aims to have more direct contact with its key customers and bring the on-trade distribution back in line with the off-trade.

Discussing the plans for the future, Borthwick told Imbibe: ‘2017 is a big year for Glen Moray as we celebrate our 120th anniversary. As part of the La Martiniquaise Group we also have plans to look to the wider portfolio to unlock the potential of brands such as St James Agricole Rum and Porto Cruz.

There is a new Hot Wheels #Character Car hitting the pegs. #Raven, from the Team Titans Go! series seems to be the one people are grabbing. Why? Well, I don’t know exactly why, but I can let you know why I picked her up.
Ever since the #Character Car for #Raven was unveiled at San Diego Comic Con this past July, I knew it was one I was picking up at retail. Its not because I’m a Team Titans fan or anything — in fact, I’ve never seen the show. Its because Raven reminded me of another ambitious Hot Wheels design: #Cloak and Dagger.
#Raven is much more than a Hot Wheels car with a #Pop-Off Body. At first, I think it was that art deco styling that really caught my eye. After that I noticed that between the free-flowing style of the body (and the fact that its removable), meaning that it is meant to represent the cloak the character Raven wears. Even the red & yellow “clasp” that holds her cloak together is seen on the body of this casting.
Underneath the body/cloak I would be remiss if I didn’t address the pink horse in the interior. Initially, my thought was, “why the heck is there a my little pony in the interior?” BUT, knowing that the Hot Wheels designers designing these #Character Cars have been super creative in finding ways to bring the character’s personality into the castings; I decided to look it up. According to the Team Titans Go Wiki!, that is not a pink horse, but rather a “Pretty Pretty Pegasus” by the name of “Sparkleface”. Yeah, way beyond my level of expertise here.
Anyways — to paraphrase as best I can — “Pretty Pretty Pegasus” is a fictional show that the Team Titans characters watch. #Raven is a huge fan of the show and she is seen playing with the toys, including figurines of the show’s two main Pegasus characters: Butterbean and Sparkleface. NOTE: The pink one is Sparkleface, and she can be seen in the casting’s interior.
Given that Hot Wheels #Character Cars retail at that higher price-point of around $4 (in the U.S.), the castings can have special added details like a “Sparkleface” figurine in the interior, as each casting typically has anywhere from 4 to 8 parts (excluding wheels/axles).
This Hot Wheels #Raven is such a fun casting — so much so, that I am glad I could share it with you guys. Is it for everyone? Certainly not, but you have to admit you are sometimes intrigued by cars with #Pop-Off Bodies. This car is definitely unique and its one that I feel like I have actually gotten to know the character behind it without ever watching the Team Titans Go! show.
RELEASE DETAILS: Blue Outer-Body (plastic). Black Inner-Body (metal). Light Gray Interior. Chrome RA6 Wheels. Silver Base (metal). Made in Thailand. Toy# FLJ14. Released in 2018 as #4 of 5 in the Character Cars / Team Titans Go! series.
Tagged as: 2018 Hot Wheels, DC Comics, Hot Wheels, Hot Wheels Characters, Opening Feature, Pop-Off Body, RA6 Wheels, Raven, Team Titans Go!
Raven voice is played by the one and only Tara Strong, she her self has a huge following and has such talent that she can voice males and females without anyone knowing it’s her, think of any cartoon lately or within the past 10-15 years and she most likely was in it, as a LEAD.
Wow, thanks for that info. I have never heard of her. | 2019-04-26T02:04:40 | https://orangetrackdiecast.com/2018/11/14/character-cars-team-titans-go-raven/ |

Leading UK lighting and visuals rental company HSL supplied lighting equipment, LED video screens and crew to the recent UK leg of the Chase & Status “No More Idols” tour, where Neil Carson’s high energy lighting and visual design WOWed the crowds and captured the true spirit of hi-energy drum ‘n’ bass vibes.
Carson has worked for Chase & Status for the last two years, clutching his seat as their career trajectory has gone supersonic. The band shares the same management team as Pendulum, another artist to whom HSL provides lighting.
However, this is the first time Carson has used HSL to supply both lighting and video – a process likely to happen increasing frequently following a recent major investment in Martin EC10 and EC20 LED screen product. “It makes things very straightforward dealing with one source for all these elements,” confirms Carson.
The Chase & Status project was managed for HSL by the equally supersonic Mike Oates, who says, “We always enjoy working with Neil. He has great imagination and flare and the Chase & Status show is exciting, atmospheric and a great fusion of lighting and video”.
Carson designed the screen architecture – based on a central upstage block of EC10 in the middle, about 6 metres wide and 2.5 deep – flanked by three columns of EC20 at 5, 4 and 3 metres high respectively, which added real depth and three-dimensionality to the stage. The modular design allowed it to be easily – and practically – reduced to fit into smaller venues, whilst ensuring aesthetic continuity.
Different overall screen formats and shapes have been a consistent feature on all sections of Chase & Status’s recent touring schedules, keeping the visual evolution moving forward and the performance space always fresh and invigorating. Nothing stays still for too long on planet Chase & Status or in their hyperactive performances.
Their video content is created by The Light Surgeons. In addition to stunning animations and raw, edgy ambient sequences, on this leg of the tour it featured special footage of all the Chase & Status vocalists, who appeared onscreen for their songs – and sometimes onstage for real.
Playback was stored on an AI media server, triggered by timecode from the band at the start of the track. Carson could tweak parameters like the screen intensity from his Chamsys MagicQ 100 lighting desk to match the space and the variable daily configuration of the lighting rig.
The video – and its paramount importance – was also the starting point for Carson’s lighting scheme.
He had to ensure that video remained visible at all times while he delivered enough lighting drama to keep pace with the maelstrom of sounds coming off the stage. The looks and scenes veered from fantastically large, boisterous and ravey looks to subtlety and classical theatre style mood. One of Carson’s primary aims was to produce real dynamics, and a structure rather than just a flashorama! His careful punctuation of the show was combined seamlessly with the flow and feel of live operation and a bit of improvisation.
All the toured lighting was located on the floor, so it could function as a completely independent rig. However, when house moving lights were available – typically about 12 moving lights, a mix of washes and spots – these could also be hooked in to the touring system..
HSL supplied 24 Clay Paky Sharpies – also a new addition to their hire stock – which look spectacularly bright and tight! They were joined by 24 GLP Impression Zooms, which, like the Sharpies, were dotted all over the towers. They are among Carson’s current favourite LED washes and were joined by 18 x 2-cell moles and 12 Atomic strobes.
In front of the keyboard stand were two custom ‘C’ and ‘S’ scenic letters, filled with a total of 110 Jarag-style lamps which are very NOW. Each was pixel-mapped via the lighting console. They consumed one and a half dimmer racks, but were well worth the effort.
He continues, “I really enjoy working with HSL. They are very friendly, efficient and super-professional, apart from which, Mike always goes the ‘extra nine yards’ to make something happen or help add value to the tour”.
His crew were Marc Callaghan, Chris Roper and Dan Oswald, who all worked closely with media server operator, Gianni Fabricio.
Carson also highlighted the efficiency of having a crew working on the combined disciplines of lighting and video. The fastest de-rig time for all their screen elements – from being onstage to packed into the trunks ready to load into the truck – was an impressive 2 minutes and 54 seconds. This was achieved with plenty of co-operation from the local crew during the get out in Swindon!
The tour had two days production rehearsals at Brixton Academy before hitting the road HSL provided a WYSIWYG computer so Carson could visualise, patch and programme the extensive extras supplied for the Brixton gig itself, which also became a DVD shoot.. This saved stress on the day and allowed a head start in integrating the additional gear for that gig into their show.
The Brixton extras included five 24 ft trussing ‘fingers’ installed over the stage, populated with over 60 moving lights, 12 Atomics, i-Pix BB16s and Martin EC20, used to line the underside of each finger.

After killing enemies on the second platform in the arena, head up the small ramp to the area where you must grab the torch an light the flame. Before doing so, hop over the white barricade on the right and follow this small path to a Chronicle.
After being ordered to get reinforcements, go up stairs to the left and hope over the crates, here you will find the Chronicle.
When you reach the formation flag in this level, head to the right before activating it and look under all the debris. In this area the Chronicle will be under some fallen pillars.
When you reach a hall with red flowing curtains, scale the left wall and at the end is a curtain you can go through. Turn left and you will see the chronicle. | 2019-04-26T04:44:51 | https://www.ign.com/wikis/ryse/Chronicles |
How Come Content Writing Services Facilitate your Business?
Are you searching for Content Writing India services that improve the worth of the content on your web page, boost website traffic, and also drive sales? Well, if that is the case, then let you know you are simply not alone. A recent study reported that 65% of content vendors admit that their greatest challenge is generating adequate content for satisfying market demand.
High-quality, fresh content always results in more conversions and leads, and boosted search engine ranking as well. However, it is not easier at all to create an arsenal of well-written, timely content to satisfy the interest of your audience and position your firm as a thought leader.
The absolute time commitment that it takes for writing entirely a new content frightens firms. Before creating a new content, evaluate the information and details already on your site. Several times, this content could easily be refreshed and also repurposed for creating more relevant, new content which appeals to your audiences and drives action at the same time. This information could even be utilized for creating other kinds of content including infographics, podcasts, and webinars that could reach a wide audience and enhance your online presence.
Needless to say, the stronger call to action on your site increases conversion. The call to action generally prompts your visitor, lead or customer to take action. Well, this action may be attending an event, contacting your company or downloading case studies. It should be informative, simple, short, and eye-catching. It even should be displayed efficiently on your webpage so that visitors could access it easily.
When it comes to Content Writing in India, it is essential to publish only top-quality content. Google gives a free rein to web crawlers which analyze backlinks and webpages and ranks your website accordingly. Meta descriptions and headlines are important to raise your rankings in search engine. By incorporating strategic keyword in your content, you can prove its relevance to target audience.
High-quality content is certainly the foundation of your PR, marketing, and sales efforts. And without quality Content, all your marketing initiatives would fall short. The professional Content Writing India services can help you to improve the quantity and quality of your digital content. | 2019-04-22T12:12:11 | https://www.techkriti.co.in/content-writing-india/ |
I feel like I do have more of an understanding of eLearning theories for adult learning. I found those resources to be very interesting. However, I am sure I could learn more. I think activities within this area to practice for understanding would be helpful or to have more feedback on blog posts if my thoughts were confused or erroneous.
I enjoyed the aspect of emerging technologies but I really don’t recall us doing much of this. I would have liked more resources in this area.
The hands-on project was the most effective for me in assisting with achieving these goals. I felt the reading and resources were effective and the reflective blog post. I did not find the comments and responses to blogs to be the most helpful. I also did not find much benefit in Twitter. Although, I did learn of more resources within Twitter which was helpful to know.
I would say the 1st and 3rd I still need to work on. I recall some articles around the development but I would love to know more. The resources surrounding community, feedback, etc was helpful but I would have liked to have seen more examples. I think a large portion of our learning occurred through self-reflection and then feedback was relied upon for further learning and understanding. However, that only works if the content of the feedback is written in a way that pushes or furthers that understanding. Otherwise, I don’t find it very helpful. That could be a personal thing. However, I think perhaps more facilitation was needed for further understanding or development in certain areas. If facilitation is not available then perhaps activities which our optional to further understanding in certain concepts would be neat. As you can see I guess I tend to rely more on my self and self-assessment then others, which might be why I found the community aspect a little more challenging. I really enjoyed creating the site and creating the lessons but I did not feel like I had a whole bunch of time to develop the content within the site and get feedback. I think I would have preferred to have started the development at the beginning and practice the theories or such discussed through that and then use the blogs to receive feedback, perhaps? I don’t know.
I kind of feel like I am always beating the same drum, I am slightly predictable in this manner. However, as far as other things to improve I do have a suggestion. This is not just this course but multiple courses with the Adult learning tract. I feel especially for those going into instructional design, there needs to be more emphasis on diversity, accessibility, and 508 compliance in regards to material and course development especially in eLearning. At least the basic expectations. I feel with this specific course a lot of theories and technologies are shared but we really need to instruct individuals on how to design for everyone. If someone begins working for a federal agency and designs material that has no design or awareness for compliance it will be frowned upon. In general though by creating courses and online content that excludes a population of people it is not effective nor is it conscientious, we are possibly creating barriers to content to learning for certain individuals. As time goes by more and more indviduals are demanding equal access and in some cases this has opened up certain organizations and companies to liability. I really feel it is doing students a disservice by not covering this content in some form.
Thank you for this feedback, it is very helpful. | 2019-04-22T10:20:39 | https://rampages.us/mmcadam/2018/08/12/reflection/ |

‘t Zand lies in the heart of Leidsche Rijn. We investigated how a park could be carved out of the heart of a suburban area, on the edge of an archaeological find with ruined remains of the Roman line of defence, by concentrated high-density buildings. In our urban development plan, we proposed designing the different buildings and outbuildings as uprooted space invaders. Each building is different, as if the alien people hastily gathered together all the space vehicles they could. The spaceships suggest a playful link between the sunken Roman ships and current visual culture, including mass migrations from Star Wars. At the same time, the compact buildings make room for a special park: the Groot Zandveld.
This design for a block of flats with 22 totally different homes is located in the eastern section of the park, between old farms, orchards and ditches. The 22 flats are connected to the half-sunken parking garage by a lift and a central hall. The parking garage extends out from under the building to the south and west and offers an ideal place for waterfront verandas. Balconies and sun porches on the south and west façades offer outdoor areas with ideal sun positioning and a view of water and green. | 2019-04-20T05:02:33 | https://venhoevencs.nl/projects/zilveren-zwaan/ |

After trying their hand at low displacement commuter motorcycles, Yamaha is in the process of shifting its focus back on launching mid-capacity sporty motorcycles in India. And this product offensive will most likely be spearheaded by the MT-15. Essentially based on the popular Yamaha YZF R15 V3.0, the MT-15 looks more muscular and features a more aggressive design. Yamaha is also looking at the possibility of bringing in the MT-03 (the naked version of the R3) and the MT-10 to India.
Besides the motor, the MT-15 will share a lot of parts with the R15 including the all-digital instrument cluster, front and rear suspension, brakes (282mm front and 220mm rear discs) and wheels (100/80 R-17 front and 140/70 R-17 rear). And like the R15, the India-spec MT-15 will also do away with the USD forks of the Thai-spec bikes. But, unlike the R15, the riding posture will be a lot more upright and the seat too will be more comfortable. In terms of equipment, the MT-15 will come with ABS, most likely a dual-channel unit as standard, thus complying with the ABS norms effective from April 2019.
As mentioned earlier, powering the bike will be the same 155cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder motor with ‘variable Valve Actuation’, which enables good low-end torque without compromising on performance in the higher end of the rev band. Its 6-speed gearbox will transfer 19.3PS of power and 15Nm of torque to the rear wheel via a chain drive. Given the fact that the MT-15 will weigh less than R15, it is expected to be peppier and sharper than the latter. The engine might be slightly retuned for better low-end torque. That said, even in its current tune, the engine is flexible enough to suit the character of a naked street bike.
The MT-15 was recently showcased in Thailand where it is expected to replace the M-Slaz. As far as pricing is concerned, expect it to be priced slightly lower than the R15, which currently retails for Rs 1.27 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). However, post the implementation of the ABS norms from April 2019, prices for the R15 are expected to go up to around Rs 1.4 lakh. Considering the inclusion of ABS, the MT-15 should be priced close to Rs 1.3 lakh (ex-showroom) when launched in the first half of next year. Even though there are no direct rivals with similar displacement in the same price bracket, the MT-15 will take on the likes of the TVS Apache RTR 200, Bajaj Pulsar NS200 and the yet to be launched KTM 125 Duke. On a side note, expect Yamaha to most likely launch a facelift of the FZ-S by the end of this year too. | 2019-04-19T12:23:38 | https://www.asianet.in/automotive/yamaha-mt-15-india-launch-likely-in-2019.html |

Color was probably the very first thing that came to mind when you began to think about buying new carpet. That’s because color can be manipulated like a magic wand to create nearly any mood or effects you wish.
You may have heard that dark colors make a room look smaller. This is true. So you should stay away from dark colors — right? Wrong! If your objective is to create a warm, cozy and sheltered look, a smaller “feel” is exactly what you want and dark, rich colors like hunter green or burgundy can work great. If a dark color is what you love, and it helps you capture the mood you want, go for it!
Pastels on the other hand, tend to enlarge a space. These colors create a restful and soothing mood. They’re ideal when you want a formal, orderly and romantic tone.
Strong contrasts of colors are lively, exciting and energetic and can be a bold statement for your family’s style of living.
Color can also change the feel of a room. In northward facing rooms and in cool climates, you can “warm up” the room with a warm color scheme featuring reds, yellows, oranges, peaches and apricots. In south facing rooms and in warm climates, a room can be made to feel more comfortable by using cool colors such as blues, purples, greens and teals. The carpet industry has a distinct advantage in requiring very short lead times from product conception, to production, to sampling and resell. As a result, the carpet industry is able to monitor color choices offered by the furniture industry, as well as other interior furnishings industries and provide complementary colors within a few weeks notice. Unfortunately, for the consumer, far too much emphasis is placed on coordinating colors and far too little emphasis on color prudence. Few consumers realize that carpet is a fabric exposed to foot traffic. Few materials subjected to this type of daily abuse and maintenance neglect perform with equal results. Foot traffic and soil type should be carefully considered when selecting carpet color.
In the days before Stainmaster®, it went without question that carpet was subject to stains and soil and color prudence was a matter of standard carpet selection. Carpets were principally drab browns, gold’s, or avocado’s and colors were selected to hide these immortal sins. After the release of stain-resist technology, carpet became a fashion statement with beautiful blue’s, teal’s, and even white’s. While these products clean more readily than the older products, they do not hide soil as well as their forerunners because of color choice.
In selecting carpet color these facts should be considered. Now that you realize the impact color can have on the mood of a room, you can make your choice of color with greater confidence. Now where do you start? If you’re redecorating, often an existing fabric, or a cherished piece of furniture can be a starting point and can stimulate your creativity. Working around an existing piece is an excellent way to start when making your color choice. Important: it is rarely desirable to match a color exactly. More visual interest is created by blending colors.
If the room is empty, start with the color that gets your creative juices flowing. If it’s not a color that other household members love, the problem may be solved by the clever use of a color scheme that coordinates your choice with several colors. Carpet color is an emotional issue. But with these color selection tips, you can enter a carpet retailer with more confidence!
Lighting has a direct effect on the mood of a room and can create some of the most dramatic results. But it is one of the most neglected and underutilized design elements. Low voltage recessed lighting, halogen fixtures and floor and table lamps with opaque shades can all add further drama and intimacy to a space. The light distribution is directed at specific objects, not the entire room.
Ceiling surface-mounted fixtures, recessed down lights, lamps with translucent shades and floor lamps all create a bright, open and cheerful mood. When you see a room with lighting you like, pay attention to how it is done. Then you’ll be able to incorporate those ideas in your own home.
Rather than gathering throw pillows and choosing a specific color to match, consider selecting a number of colors and a variety of lighter and darker shades. Consider the type of soil tracked into your home, how often carpet will be cleaned, the frequency of vacuuming, and the amount and type of carpet stains that will be subjected. Once these issues have been considered, the color choice may assure your future happiness with your purchase. Remember, newer carpets may clean more easily than older carpets, but they must be cleaned with regularity. They will not prevent the appearance of soil. It is possible to be pleased with white carpet as long as you understand and are willing to provide the carpet care required.
With these issues addressed, collect a variety of color preferences from wallpaper samples, throw pillows, furniture fabrics, and draperies and begin your search for a carpet retailer in which you have faith. | 2019-04-23T09:53:25 | http://www.baywayhomes.com/blog/post/carpet-color-selection |
Three kami produced during Izanagi's purification (see misogi, harae). When Izanagi returned from the land of Yomi, he bathed at Awakihara of Tsukushi in order to purge the pollution of death. According to Kojiki, when he rinsed at the bottom of the sea, the deity Sokozutsunoo was produced together with Sokotsuwatatsumi (see Watatsumi); when he bathed in the middle of the water, Nakazutsunoo was produced together with Nakatsuwatatsumi; when he bathed at the surface of the water, Uwazutsunoo was produced together with Uwatsuwatatsumi.
According to an "alternate writing" recorded in Nihongi, when Izanagi performed his ablutions, he blew out and produced Iwatsutsu no mikoto, Sokotsutsu no mikoto, and Akatsutsu no mikoto. These names represent phonetic transformations of the names Uwa-, Naka-, and Soko-zutsu no o.
Various meanings have been suggested for the name element "tsutsu no o"; some view it as representing the ancient genetive particle tsu together with another tsu meaning "bay" or "estuary." Another theory suggests that tsutsu is simply a repetition of the tsu meaning bay, and thus represents the plural "bays," pointing to the three as tutelaries of ocean travel ("kami of bays and estuaries"). Others have suggested that tsutsu refers variously to the planet Venus (yūzutsu) or to the three stars of Orion's belt, in either case representing lodestars for mariners.
Others theories suggest that the names come from the story of Tsutsu no o no mikoto in the island of Tsushima, or that tsutsu refers to the oak oar used to pole a boat, and thus to a kind of magic staff with power over ocean currents and ocean travel. Finally, some have suggested that it means the "cylinder" (tsutsu) housing the "boat spirit" (funadama) often enshrined at the base of a ship's mast.
According to Nihongi, these three deities demonstrated their power at the time of Empress Jingū's campaign on the Korean peninsula, and came to be collectively enshrined as the deity Sumiyoshi ōkami. From the medieval period, the three deities were widely worshiped as tutelaries of poetry. | 2019-04-23T02:56:09 | http://eos.kokugakuin.ac.jp/modules/xwords/entry.php?entryID=168 |
Hi Boss Babes, I hope everyone is doing well & has had a wonderful week so far. It's Sarah here, & I'm going to get real for a sec, don't say I didn't warn ya. I've been feeling a little overwhelmed & under the weather recently. You know that feeling when you have a million & one things to do, work is hectic & inspiration seems miles away?
It's Friday again Boss Babes, I hope you've had a productive week & are ready to kick back & enjoy a well deserved weekend. The weather lately has been just about perfect & I can't help but start thinking about the summer & all the activities I want to do. Too early to start planning? I say never, especially as we live in Florida & have been blessed with sunshine & cloudless blue skies on the regular.
Hey Hey Boss Babes, Happy Friday! We've had a pretty action packed last couple weeks at Boss Babe Club. We had an awesome Babe Crafted member event at The Paper Seahorse. Babe Crafted Members listened to Tona Bell of The Paper Seahorse chat about mindfulness & small businesses. We wrote letter's to our future selves & after all the work we ended the evening with a fun happy hour.
Happy Belated International Women's Day, Boss Babes & Happy Friday. :) We celebrated #Internationalwomensday with a Boss Babe Club take over on the City of Tampa's Instagram. Boss Babe Club is all about celebrating, empowering, motivating & educating female entrepreneurs to be & feel the BEST every day. A day to spread a little extra love is a bonus.
Hiya Boss Babes! Happy Friday & happy March. It's Sarah bringing you an all-new Friday Favorites. Let's talk about Nashville and what you absolutely must see, eat, & do when you visit for the first time.
Happy New Year, Boss Babes! It's Sarah here, writing to you from my sweet home, Trinidad & Tobago. I've been here visiting my family for New Years & it's been the best time ever! Being with family and friends around the holidays is all that matters to me & I could not think of a better way to ring in the New Year. This trip has gotten me refreshed & ready to smash all of my goals.
Hey, Boss Babes! All your hard work this week has led you here & doesn't that make you appreciate your weekends a whole lot more? We're in the midst of the holidays... presents have been wrapped, party plans have been made, cocktails have been batched, trees have been decorated, & so much more. To keep you feeling high-spirited, we wanted to share a Christmas covers playlist that's absolutely perfect for hot cocoa sipping & focusing on the things you love about the holidays.
Happy Holidays ladies!! Can we finally start saying this? I'm here today to share an awesome Christmas covers playlist to get you feeling the holiday spirit (if you aren't already). Gina & I made the most delicious Hot Cider Recipe this week which we shared on the blog yesterday. This yummy, festive cocktail recipe along with an awesome playlist is the perfect way to get you feeling all the holidays feels this weekend!
Hey, Boss Babes! I hope you had a wonderful week. There’s so much to celebrate— it’s Friday… Thanksgiving is almost here… it’s National Gratitude Month… and each day we get to live a life that we love. There’s always time to take a moment and be thankful, but having seen the film “Lady Bird” written & directed by Greta Gerwig with Caitlyn Connolly of Live.Sweat.Sleep.Repeat. recently, I was reminded how often I struggled with being happy with where I currently was when I was growing up, much like the character of Christine “Lady Bird” McPherson.
Yay for Friday! If this week has felt like the longest week of your life, you're not alone. I hope everyone is as excited for the weekend as I am & if you're reading this post bright & early this morning, don't forget about the Pop Up we're hosting tonight at Kendra Scott in Hyde Park Village! We would love to see all you Boss Babes there. 20% of all proceeds from Kendra Scott will benefit Dress for success Tampa Bay, an amazing local non-profit that helps women in need look the part for the position they're interviewing for and also provides them with job training and employment retention (bring gently used professional clothing to donate if you have a dress, blazer, shoes, or even a blouse that you've been meaning to donate!).
Hey, Boss Babes! It's Champagne Friday yet again - for one I can't believe we're almost through October! Halloween is next week & after that, we are heading straight into Thanksgiving month. I just got back from a small weekend vacay visiting some family in Trinidad (this is where I'm originally from) & let me tell you it was much needed. Some good quality family and friends time is just what I needed to get me feeling refreshed & motivated again. Speaking of traveling... If you're like most people, the holiday travels begin as early as October. There's nothing worse than traveling and not having a bomb playlist to get you through those awful airport lines, am I right? Today I'm sharing the perfect playlist that will definitely help you get through those long travel days & nights, whether you're flying or road tripping, we've got you covered.
Hi ladies! I hope you’re doing well, in spite of all the chaos that has been happening in our country this week. It's times like these that can leave us confused and wondering what the point of it all really is. We can recenter ourselves with the reminder that what’s important in life are our friends & loved ones. This is the time when we all need to power through together. Use your frustration as motivation to get.sh*t.done. Use your love & kindness to inspire those around you. | 2019-04-23T19:51:23 | https://www.bossbabeclub.com/blog?category=Champagne%20Friday |

“Why bother to check the weather?” said my veteran traveling companion. “We’re going to go anyway.” His idea had merit, at least from his point of view. We had been at the boring resort-based meeting far too long; any change of location would be welcome. So, very likely, we were going to go “anyway”, just for a change of scenery.
However, I insisted on at least a cursory look at the current and forecast conditions, and we found the weather doable, if not perfect. What I wanted to know was, quite simply, what were the options if we ran into unflyable weather. Yes, we wanted to go somewhere – anywhere – to get away, but forewarned is forearmed (to paraphrase from the Latin, “praemontius, praemuntius”). It looked as if diverting north, should our filed route become untenable, would give us a safe harbor if needed.
Now, I get a lot of jabs about my habit of in-flight note-taking; by flight’s end, my ever-present clipboard is filled with times-over-points, the previous frequencies, ASOS weather and fuel-burn notations. I’m not obsessive about it; I’m just a little more detail-oriented than my friends who just punch up the route and rely on ATC to sort it all out. I’ve had too many in-panel failures, flying strange equipment over unfamiliar country; I like to have my suspenders holding my pants up, in case my belt fails.
The “doesn’t matter, why bother?” attitude of ambivalence can get pilots into a world of hurt. Whether it’s taking off with a tailwind component to avoid a long, involved taxi-back, or not checking the weight-and-balance effect of throwing all the gear in the tailcone, or figuring the weather will clear up in time for your arrival, the shoulder-shrugging approach to piloting eventually will catch up with you.
Like the old bumper sticker that jokingly says “Who Cares About Apathy?”, ambivalence is just a way of shedding workload. Employing this labor-saving device kicks the can down the road until it finally has to be picked up and carried to the waste bin. By then, you may have stubbed your toe a few times and the can might be unusable from all the dents it’s accumulated.
Last month, one of our airplanes was stranded halfway home, because the pilot chose to launch in the path of approaching thunderstorms, preferring to disregard signs like a low pressure area and a radar depiction of the storms, in an ambivalent trust that “it’ll work out all right.” And perhaps it did, when he wisely parked the aircraft at an intermediate point, but the disrupted mission wasn’t completed and it had to be flown later, doubling the cost.
Management studies generally recommend that the best course is to deal immediately with things that can be resolved on the spot, then to prioritize the must-do deferrals in order of importance, taking care of the easiest first if there’s no priority difference. We have a lot of important stuff to do in the cockpit, some of it life-threatening. It pays to avoid ambivalence.
LeRoy Cook considers himself a "student of aviation" who continues learning daily, from the readership, fellow pilots and, as a flight instructor, his students. He caught the flying fever during the 50th Anniversary of powered flight in 1953 and determined to learn and share as much aviation possible. A pilot since 1960 and a journalist since 1970, he is Airline Transport rated for single and multi-engine airplanes and a commercial pilot for gliders and single-engine seaplanes. He has been a flight instructor since 1965, with four CFI ratings.

Making a decision to move into a care home is not easy, particularly if you are unwell or bereaved. If you would like help from us please contact our First Response Team who will then arrange for a needs assessment to be carried out to find out whether residential care is right for you and what other services are available.
Why choose residential or nursing care?
You may be finding it difficult to look after yourself at home, perhaps because of a recent illness, or because you are getting more frail. There are a number of services available that may make your life easier. Residential care is one possibility; other services include homecare, day services, meals on wheels, Lifeline and telecare, aids and home adaptations, all of which may help you to continue to live in your own home independently.
If you need to go into residential or nursing care, the 'National Assistance Act' requires that you pay something towards the cost of your accommodation. For further information, please view our Paying for Care web page.
We have a duty to make sure that your care home is providing the care you require to meet all your needs during the time you live there. Our Review Team will look at your care home placement every year to make sure it continues to meet your needs. | 2019-04-19T21:25:55 | https://www.rctcbc.gov.uk/EN/Resident/AdultsandOlderPeople/Alternativestolivinginyourhome/CareHomes.aspx |
I've been playing around with my Kubernetes cluster running on Raspbery Pi's and had a cool idea for demo's. Since the pi's are a bit underpowered, I added some VM's to my laptop as Nodes in the cluster.
So now I have a mix of ARM servers and x86 servers that I can schedule work. This is a great example of how node selection and labels can work in a Kubernetes cluster since I can target either architecture easily!
Looking at the above image, you can see I've added a "type" label to each node. Nodes 04 && 05 are VM's on my laptop and the others are pi's. In the NodeSelector field of a ReplicationController, I can simply enter which type I request and the pod will schedule accordingly. | 2019-04-19T18:53:27 | https://stevesloka.com/mixed-architecture-kubernetes-cluster/ |

For my birthday, Jon and I spent a night in Edinburgh. It was a place we'd both never visited before but we definitely want to again. Despite being super chilly (I wore two jumpers and a pair of tights under my jeans), we packed in as much as we could into our one night stay. We went on a ghost walk, drank some whiskey, sampled haggis - and loved it - and, of course, ate some breakfast.
Anywhere that serves a shot of peanut M&Ms with your hot drink deserves a shout out, and Barley & Beans in Liverpool does just that. Located in Hatton Garden, a short walk from Moorfields Station, Barley & Beans serve a good breakfast at a reasonable price. | 2019-04-19T18:14:53 | https://thebreakfastclubblog.com/page/8/ |

( https://sites.google.com/site/mandelbulber/getting-started#TOC-Rendering-animation ) but I was reading that this tutorial is for Mandelbulber V1 and it's different than V2.
Can you explain to me what is ( frames per keyframe)? and what is the right value for frame per keyframe if I will render the animation in 4k resolution and 30 FPS ?
there is also a section on animation with audio, but the complete topic of animation is huge and has yet to be written.
Frames per keyframe. If you are using 30 fps then it is often a good idea to make frames per keyframe multiples of 30.
At keyframes you can change the values of parameters that you have added to the keyframe animation table. So if you choose 120 frames per keyframe, then your keyframes will be at every 4 seconds (120/30) of the animation. It depends a lot on what you are trying to achieve.
When learning I would suggest try making some animations at maybe 400 x 300 resolution and keyframes at maybe 480 frames per keyframe. Also you can set animation to 15 fps, and get a quicker trial result and then when you are happy, change to 30 fps with a larger resolution for the final animation.
If you want to achieve transparent background you have to setup proper output format.
In animation dock has to be selected PNG format. Additionality you have to enable alpha channel in saved images. To do this, go to File/Program preferences. On Image tab there is Alpha checkbox. To have to tick it. | 2019-04-22T21:07:37 | http://www.fractalforums.com/mandelbulber/mandelbulber-v2-animation/ |

Trout season is from mid-June through late October (until the water drops too low or freezes). Fish for native rainbow trout and dolly varden char in the 3 to 15 pound class and each year world class trout in the 15 pound class. We do keep a few trout to eat but it is a limited amount. On light tackle, spinning or fly rods, trout can challenge even the most experienced anglers.

Over the years, compliance has become a serious issue that must be recognized. In today's regulatory environment, compliance often becomes an issue of direct importance to profitability with its impact on operations, social responsibility, reputation and production.
The advantages of triboelectric monitoring compared to other PM monitoring methods is clear. With greater accuracy and detection sensitivity than visual observations (EPA method 9 and 22), differential pressure (when used as an emissions monitoring metric) and opacity meters, the triboelectric option proves superior. Additionally, compared to other methods, triboelectric systems can help plants evaluate and determine the effectiveness of control technologies (such as new filter medias, process changes or operation changes to reduce emissions). Finally, a faster response time to identify increased emissions means operators receive earlier warning of problems allowing for quicker remedial action that can prevent small problems from escalating to reportable events.
How to Calculate Potential ROI: Determine how much each reportable event costs in terms of reporting burden, fines on average, and system downtime and use these figures to calculate potential savings.
Reporting requirements vary from industry to industry and generally are more extensive for plants classified as “major sources”. Regardless, collecting, storing, processing and transmitting monitoring data from emissions sources can consume significant resources at both large and small facilities. Certain monitoring methods may require daily or even hourly inspections be done by certified personnel to check emissions (EPA Method 9 and 22, differential pressure checked manually). The man hours spent on these activities can add up quickly, not to mention the time required to manually transfer “clip board data” to electronic form for processing and eventual reporting. In contrast, triboelectric monitoring systems can take data readings in real time without the need for individual involvement. Further, data from these systems can be directly interfaced with plant computers to record and process the required data into an easy to export format that can go directly into compliance reports for regulating authorities. The return on integrated instruments and baghouse control systems can be significant.
How to Calculate Potential ROI: Determine man hours spent collecting emissions data currently, including visual observations, recording data manually (aka clipboard data) and data entry into useful form for reporting purposes.
Compared to other monitoring methods, a triboelectric dust monitoring system often requires very little on-going maintenance. Opacity meters require periodic calibration as well as complete rebuilds after several years of use by personnel by the opacity meter OEM. These rebuilds and calibrations can costs thousands of dollars each time and require extensive documentation for regulators.
Triboelectric systems also improve general maintenance by providing additional useful data that other monitoring methods on their own cannot. For example, with its superior detection capability, these systems can identify the exact position of leaks, even in large systems with thousands of filters, down to a specific unit, compartment, or row of filters. Often these systems can also provide data that can provide further baghouse diagnostics such as solenoid or diaphragm failures. Further, the ability to trend data helps predict when filter sets will fail and require replacement allowing maintenance planners to optimize filter replacement scheduling in their facilities. This can prevent having to deal with the emergency situation that causes unexpected downtime and increased costs for expediting materials and labor normally associated with unplanned filter changeouts.
How to Calculate Potential ROI: Determine cost of maintaining opacity meters or other monitoring methods over their useful service life (e.g. 10 years) compared to triboelectric detectors. Additionally, consider costs associated with labor to chase down leaking filters without the location ability of the triboelectric bag leak detection systems as well as the costs incurred by having to schedule last minute filter changeouts (including buying filters at the last minute).
Filter replacement costs make up a large part of the normal operation/maintenance budget for a facility with large dust collection system(s). Optimizing the use of filters has a direct impact on operating costs as well as costs associated with reliability and downtime.
How to Calculate Potential ROI: Calculate costs of filter replacement and potential savings if filters could be safety extended an additional 3-6 months. Conversely, calculate costs associated with rushed changeouts and improved scheduling of changeouts to reduce impact on production and operations.
A triboelectric dust monitoring system can provide an easily verifiable ROI for most plants. By taking time to gather the needed data and calculate the expenses cited above, your plant can have concrete data to see the potential return on investment these systems can achieve at your facility.

Whenever you change to a different specialty, ward, practice or department, there will be lots of things that will be new to you. Some things will be specific to that ward (like where they keep specific forms), some will be specific to that hospital, department, practice – some will even be specific to each consultant or GP trainer you work with. If there is anything you are unsure of, don’t be scared to ask. When you start your first post in a GP practice, there can be lots of things that you may have never dealt with before (e.g. the electronic record systems, home visits, arranging admissions) and it can take time to adjust. | 2019-04-21T08:04:14 | http://gptraining.info/tips-gptraining-newjob |

O NANNIE, WILT THOU GANG WT ME?
Thomas Percy, author of " Nannie, wilt Thou Gang wi' Me," was born at Bridgenorth, Shropshire, England, April 13, 1728. He became ch/.plain-in-ordinary to the king, and afterward Bishop of Dromore, in the county Down, i-eland. His greatest literary work was the "Keliques of English Poetry." He gathered estrays with infinite pains, and touched up all those which had hopelessly missing lines and other blemishes. He became totally blind, and died at Dromore, September 30, 1811.
Thomas Carter, who composed the air of " Nannie, wilt Thou Gang wi' Me," was born in Ireland in 1768. He received his musical education in Italy, and was a singer, pianist, and composer. Once, being terribly cramped for money, he set Handel's signature upon a manuscript of his own, and sold it for a large sum. The piece still passes as a genu�ine production of the great musician's. Carter died in 1804. | 2019-04-20T20:49:39 | http://www.traditionalmusic.co.uk/familiar-songs/familiar-songs%20-%200372.htm |

When you decide to give a child’s room a makeover, it is vital to first look at it through his eyes. A child does not see his room as a functional space to live and sleep in, but as a fantasyland where all make-believe is reality. A pillow can become a horse to ride on, and a desk can be magically transformed into the dashboard of a formula one racing car.
Fortunately all these changes need not tug too hard at your purse strings, and a dash of creativity is all you need to convert your child’s room into a haven of entertainment and learning.
Introduce colors to the walls in your child’s room in little bursts. A colorful collage of his or her favourite characters can be the central theme that spills over onto desks, stools and cots. Explore wallpaper with small prints that spell fun and activity, or a colorful border that runs along the length of the room.
A good home store would be able to provide a large number of colorful stick-ons and motifs that can be used around windows and over bedsteads. This can introduce some excitement to drab looking walls, and can easily be taken off without ruining them.
Keep in mind your child’s needs as you pick up pieces of furniture for his room. Girls and boys may have a slightly different preference in color and finish, but ensure that you keep your furniture child-friendly. A beanbag can become an outlandish football for your energetic little boy and little stools can be molded as magical mushrooms for your fairy tale loving girl. | 2019-04-21T02:22:50 | http://www.roomgirl.info/home-improvement-childrens-room-interior.html |
Now a newfound exoplanet announced today in the journal Nature, and discovered by a member of the Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, offers scientists one of the best chances to truly know an extraterrestrial planet. Called GJ 1132b, it crosses the face of a nearby red dwarf star only 40 light-years away. These so-called transits—mini-eclipses, really—have allowed researchers to gauge GJ 1132b's size as just 1.2 times that of Earth's. Other measurements have revealed it boasts a similar density to our rocky planet. All told, GJ 1132b is the closest transiting, Earth-size, rocky planet ever spotted.
Zachory Berta-Thompson – is a Torres Fellow for Exoplanetary Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research (MKI). Berta-Thompson is the lead author of the new Nature paper and is part of the MEarth Project , which monitors nearby red dwarfs for exoplanet transits and pinpointed GJ 1132b.
Elisabeth Newton – is a co-author of the Nature paper, a member of the MEarth Project and a graduate student at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics .
Rory Barnes – is a research assistant professor in the Department of Astronomy and Astrobiology Program at the University of Washington . He is also member of NASA's Virtual Planetary Lab that simulates exoplanetary environments to learn how we might remotely discern the presence of life through our existing scientific instruments.

In a Kavli Hangout last year about the search for signs of life in exoplanets' atmospheres, Zach said: "In the next decade we are just barely getting to the edge of being able to detect something like molecular oxygen in a planet’s atmosphere," and with the "wind at our backs we may just be able to . . . find the right planet, meaning it's the right size and the right temperature, and around one of the very closest very small stars so it’s easy to observe.’ It sounds like GJ 1132b is what you were talking about, Zach? | 2019-04-24T22:46:21 | http://www.kavlifoundation.org/print/science-spotlights/getting-close-and-personal-earth-sized-exoplanet |
With Ofsted's renewed focus on a broad and balanced curriculum, teachers across primary schools will appreciate the ISM Trust’s new Primary Music Toolkit, written by Dr Alison Daubney. Supported by the Schools Music Association (part of the ISM), the toolkit was commissioned to help all primary teachers embed musical learning in and through the curriculum and to seek out appropriate resources. The six-part toolkit is freely available to download from ismtrust.org/resources/primary-toolkit.
This webinar - the first in a series of three - discusses the place of music in the primary curriculum, considering what it is and what it could be. It provides practical advice for setting up musical learning in the classroom and ways in which musical instruments can be used. | 2019-04-26T10:25:42 | https://www.ism.org/professional-development/webinars/primary-music-toolkit |
For a while now strobing has kept the make-up headlines and no wonder! While contouring takes some painting skills, strobing takes some photography skills. Now, if you’re anything like us, photography comes somehow easier than painting.
Strobing is lighter on the skin and friendly with our morning schedule. While contouring is still the go-to technique for a photo make-up or a ravishing look for a night out it is just too much to even think of for our daily lives.
Just as a quick recap, contouring is the makeup that visually changes your face features using contour cream & powder darker and lighter than your skin’s tone, creating shadows and highlights that redefine your face’s shape.
Strobing is an illuminating makeup that focuses on highlighting the high points of your complexion creating a healthy, radiant look.
If you don’t own a highlighter already, we recommend you pick a rose-pearl tone if you have a paler skin or a sand-gold one if you have a darker skin. If you already have the 6 Piece Face Brush Set, you’re well equipped for this adventure. If not, no worries! I’ll let you know along the road what makeup brushes will make strobing easy-breezy. This is a light makeup so we’ll use as little product as we can to complement our natural look.
First replenish your skin with your favorite moisturizer. If any imperfections pop up, you can mix some concealer with your moisturiser and apply where needed with your 203 Concelear Brush, which will make the colors blend easily and application will be smooth and even. Then apply evenly your illuminating base.
Now pick up your V13 Oval Contour Brush or the 104 Foundation Brush and start by dabbing some highlighter above the highest point of your arch for a facelift effect. Then apply a bit of strobing cream to the upper cheekbone. We also like to arch towards the temples to make the face look fuller and healthier.
If you already have a fuller face and you’d like it to look more elongated, then apply the highlighter or the strobing cream on your nose bone and on the tip of the nose and then pop a bit in the middle of your chin as well.
If you have dark circles around your eyes and they were not covered by the concealer, then you can apply a bit of highlighter in the inner corners of your eyes as well, the concealer brush will be your best ally for this maneuver.
Now with the 203 Concelear Brush or the 105 Stippling Foundation Brush make the highlighter blend really well, until they can’t tell if you actually #wokeuplikethis or not.
Now pick up your V13 Oval Contour Brush or a clean 102 Blush Brush and add perfect that glowing look by adding illuminating powder under the eyebrows to illuminate your eyes and again a bit above the eyebrow line.
Then dab some on the lower cheekbones for a soft natural highlight.
And, our favorite part, pop your brush along the top lip, highlighting the cupid’s bow, which will make your lips look fuller.
Let yourself glow for hours: lock everything with your setting spray. | 2019-04-24T01:03:43 | https://firmabeauty.com/blogs/firma-beauties/strobing-in-5-easy-steps |

Nearly $30,000 has been raised for the family of Theresa Korzeniecki, who died Wednesday in a house fire.
Two Highland Central School District students lost their mother and their home in one afternoon.
Now, the community and a teacher at their high school are rallying to help.
A Clintondale house fire claimed the life of Theresa M. Korzeniecki on Wednesday, said Trooper Steven Nevel, a state police spokesman. She died of smoke inhalation.
Korzeniecki's two children attend Highland High School, which prompted teacher Josh Tatum to launch a GoFundMe page for the family.
Nearly $30,000 had been raised by Saturday afternoon. Tatum has also requested that various items be donated to Korzeniecki's children and husband, a list of which is included on the page.
Tatum taught Korzeniecki's son last year, he told the Poughkeepsie Journal.
"I've used GoFundMe before for a couple of fundraisers, so it was very easy to get the page up and running quickly," Tatum said. "I knew that our community would respond. It's such a tight-knit town, and people are amazing when it comes to stepping up and helping community members who are in crisis.
"I am in awe of everyone's generosity, but not at all surprised," Tatum added.
Multiple agencies, including the Clintondale, Modena and Highland fire departments, responded to the Crescent Avenue house fire on Wednesday afternoon. | 2019-04-20T20:13:02 | https://www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/story/news/2019/03/30/teacher-community-rallies-family-highland-woman-killed-fire/3319479002/ |
