You can put hours and hours of training into a dog, and still the loveable canine will occasionally misbehave. So what gives? What does it mean when dogs seem to forget their training to free range their behavior?
Dog trainer Bob Ryder from Pawsitive Transformations knows where a canine is coming from when he breaks from his usual training. "It could be that the dog is trying new things," said Ryder. "Dogs that are bored or find themselves in a new situation, even if it's just a new situation from their perspective, will do what's safe and effective to meet their needs. If a dog has an opportunity to get a valued resource, whether that's food or some attention, if there's a way to make that happen, they're going to go right ahead and try it."
And if that works by getting the dog the attention he seeks, he'll repeat that behavior, the behavior that he finds effective, rather than what the care giver thinks is appropriate. "The dog is innovating to get something he doesn't know how to get," said Ryder. "A dog that will try new behaviors is a confident and intelligent dog that is willing to go outside its comfort zone." It's also a dog that can be redirected with new training.
Other dogs can occasionally lead your dog astray with bad behavior. They're not skipping school or sneaking a cigarette behind the A&P, but they may pick up more aggressive cues from other less-well behaved dogs. Avoid dogs like that, said Ryder, so your dog won't pick up undesirable habits.

Afterwards, we moved to the new latrine and had the official ribbon cutting. The five members of Immanuel ceremoniously cut the ribbon and viewed the new structure. Truly, these latrines are a huge step towards better hygiene in the villages and schools.
Entertainment was next. These kids can sing and dance! Part of the Christmas gift from Immanuel was new costumes for the dancers. These will be used in the competitions they participate in. We received a great explanation of the various instruments the kids play; they blew us away with this newly acquired skill.
Packets for all the sponsored students came next. This team was SO ORGANIZED! They were running on all cylinders yesterday and the process went smoothly. We are letting the kids use some photo booth props for their photos this time; you will LOVE the result, sponsors!
At the same time, MIchelle, Lauren, and Julie A. went with Mariah to meet with 25 girls who were receiving their Days for GIrls kits. These kits provide girls with feminine hygiene items that allow them to attend school all month. This is another means of improving both educational performance and health and wellness in the schools. The ladies did an awesome job during the training and the girls were all smiles afterwards.
Distribution of bedding kits to the 25 most-recently sponsored students came next. These include a mattress, mosquito net, and a blanket. Donations were again from Christmas at Immanuel. After seeing where some children sleep the day before, this gift meant even more to the team as they each presented the kit to the child and their guardian.
Lunch was next; it was hot by this time. We crowded into the small school office and felt a bit like a pizza in an oven! Our team pic was last - bad team leader for that scheduling! :(
We got back to the hotel around 5:00 and showered in time to catch the boat for a ride on the Nile by 5:30. After a brief erroneous walk to the railway bridge, we found our driver and had a lovely evening cruising the Nile. And we saw monkeys; that's always a good day.
Wow, it was a jam-packed day. Kudos to this team for their energy and passion for what we are trying to accomplish. They are rock stars in my mind and quite willing servants.
Thank you for the continued prayers for safety, good health, and productivity!

AMR Las Vegas, MedicWest to Offer Free Ambulance Transportation to Bring Patients Home for the Holidays
Las Vegas, NV—Employees with American Medical Response (AMR) and MedicWest Ambulance (MWA), plan to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas helping provide free rides to at least 40 patients in assisted living facilities to transport them to their loved ones.
"We get called on someone's worst day, so we are delighted to help the community by bringing cheer to families during the holidays," said Damon Schilling, Government Affairs Director of American Medical Response. "Our Home for the Holidays program gives new meaning to delivering holiday cheer."
AMR/MWA is offering the service to up to 20 patients from a rehabilitation center, nursing, or assisted living facility on each holiday—Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. Mileage is limited and patients will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis.
"Home for the Holidays," now in its 30th year in Las Vegas, has transported more than 1,200 patients for free. These patients would otherwise be unable to make it home for the holidays. The average patient charge is $1,100 per round-trip transport; this amount will be waived for this program. Last month the companies announced victims of October 1 would not be charged for medical transportation.
- Eligible parties must reside in a rehabilitation center, nursing, or assisted living facility, have clearance from the facility to leave and do not require constant medical care.
- Interested parties or their family members should reach out to their director or administrator at any one of the following skilled nursing facilities, hospices and assisted living facilities locations in Southern Nevada: Spanish Hills Wellness Suites, The Heights at Summerlin, Mountain's Edge Hospital, Las Ventanas at Summerlin, Kindred Sahara, Kindred Spring Valley, Canyon Vista Post-Acute, Care Meridian Buffalo, Care Meridian, Desert Lane Care Center, Silver Ridge, Kindred Hospital – Flamingo, Horizon Specialty Hospital of Las Vegas and Horizon Specialty Hospital of Henderson.
- Directors and/or administrators at designated health facilities may call American Medical Response at 702-384-3400 to nominate a patient for "Home for the Holidays". Entries must be received by November 22, 2017 by 5PM PT to be considered for Thanksgiving.

I have a piece in The New Republic today about President Obama's hawkish national security policy. The ruthlessness he has displayed in Pakistan has been the clearest manifestation of this.
Obama has approved approximately 180 lethal U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan against jihadist terrorists since becoming president—or an attack roughly every four days. This represents a 300 percent increase over the number carried out during the Bush administration. In his interview for the BBC yesterday, Obama again specified that he would happily carry out more bin Laden style raids in Pakistan if it meant protecting the US from terrorist attack. While this is all extremely sound, it is interesting that Obama has largely escaped much criticism for pretty aggressive policies which, if enacted under his less media-friendly successor, would have led to a maelstrom of abuse.
Yet the President's hawkish streak on Pakistan is unsurprising if you actually look at what he said on the campaign trail back in 2007. Get beyond the platitudes of 'hope' and 'change', and there was a promise to 'take the fight to the terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan', and that
There is a core of terrorists – probably in the tens of thousands – who have made their choice to attack America… my strategy will be to build our capacity and our partnerships to track down, capture or kill terrorists around the world, and to deny them the world's most dangerous weapons. I will not hesitate to use military force to take out terrorists who pose a direct threat to America.
So far he has been good to his word – and with yet more terrorist attacks there yesterday, there is no reason to think this situation will change anytime soon.

The 'simple view of reading', in the Independent review of the teaching of early reading (the Rose Report), identifies two dimensions to reading: word recognition and language comprehension. Comprehension is the ultimate goal of reading but this goal cannot be achieved unless children can recognise the words on the page.
There are a range of language skills and cognitive resources that play a part in developing reading comprehension, including the important roles of inference and deduction (reasoning), imagining and predicting. The explicit teaching of certain strategies such as summarising and recognising degrees of importance can support the reader's comprehension.
Reading comprehension is a highly interactive process that takes place between a reader and a text. Individual readers will bring variable levels of skills and experiences to these interactions. These include language skills, cognitive resources and world knowledge. Any act of reading occurs within a particular sociocultural and emotional context. This consists of elements such as the child's home culture, their previous experiences of reading and being read to, their expectations that reading should carry meaning, their motivation, their view of themselves as a reader, the purpose for reading the text, the cultural value placed on reading and the reading environments the reader experiences. While the purpose of this document is to concentrate on looking closely at the development of comprehension skills, this broader context and its influences should be borne in mind.
(From DCSF, 2006, Primary National Strategy)
We want to encourage children to become enthusiastic, autonomous and thoughtful readers who not only decode the text but understand and engage with what they are reading. Teaching is central to this. Literacy lessons provide the context for direct teaching and application of reading comprehension strategies across the primary age range. The strategies can be applied to picture books as well as more complex texts. The wider reading environment in the classroom and school provides further opportunities for extensive reading.
Demonstrate how to use a range of comprehension strategies:
Plan direct instruction so that children can:
Support children as they:
Scaffold opportunities for children to use different reading comprehension strategies, for example using the strategy modelled in the shared reading session and applying it to a new text. Encourage children to explain how they solved a word problem. Encourage personal response and reflection.
Expect children to:
Encourage extensive reading:
(From DfES, 2005, Understanding Reading Comprehension 1)
Children are grouped on the basis of their reading ability. Each child has their own copy of the text, chosen to match the group's reading level. The teacher selects a text which is at 'instructional level' 90–94% accuracy). This means that the children should have difficulty with no more than one word in ten, so that comprehension is maintained and reading does not become a struggle. The reading level appropriate for the group and the movement of children between groups will be decided by the teacher, based on continual assessment.
The teacher identifies specific reading strategies on which to focus, determined by the needs of the children and evidence from previous sessions. The adult leads the session, preparing the children for reading, reinforcing reading strategies, giving focused attention to individuals as they read independently and guiding response to the text. The aim of every Guided Reading session is to encourage and extend independent reading skills.
Research suggests that reading comprehension development can be improved through regular use of specific strategies. These strategies are designed to actively involve the child with the text to create meaning. Below is a list of strategies to support readers in understanding, responding to and reflecting on texts. Some will be more appropriate as pre-reading strategies, others used during guided reading sessions and some may be used as post-reading activities.
There are many ways of encouraging children to bring to the forefront of their minds knowledge that relates to the text they are about to read or are reading:
Creating visual images is claimed to improve comprehension by linking prior experiences to the new idea thus building richer schemas;
As we listen to and read stories so, our knowledge about stories grows and we can draw on this to help us predict and understand what is happening, and is likely to happen in new stories. This accumulating knowledge of story texts develops in us a set of expectations for the structure of a story, helps us facilitate our understanding of stories and improves our memory/recall of a story. This gave rise to several classroom strategies, such as story mapping and story structure charts.
These encourage the reader to relate to, identify with or respond to a text.
Imagining how a character might feel and identifying with them. There are many strategies that require children to make explicit their response to and knowledge of a character. These include;
Alongside the effective teaching of phonics there are many other elements in learning to read that are essential in supporting children in their journey to becoming competent readers. Such as;
Children need a range of opportunities to develop as fluent, enthusiastic and critical readers. A balanced reading experience should include a range of the following throughout the day/week:
Reading aloud to children for their pleasure and interest should build enthusiasm and enjoyment. Children should experience a range of different genres throughout the week including stories, rhymes, poems and non-fiction. It serves as an important step towards independent reading and introduces children to different styles of writing, to new vocabulary and tunes them in to book language.
This provides opportunities for the practitioner to model fluent, expressive text reading to the whole class and to demonstrate book behaviours, for example directionality of print, the function of punctuation, reinforcing phonemes, CVC words and high frequency words which have been previously taught in the discrete phonics session. Shared reading sessions also provide an opportunity to explain and explore new vocabulary, which in turn helps to develop comprehension. These sessions are crucial for children learning English as an additional language, who are often able to decode new words but may not understand their meaning.
'This extends the opportunities provided by shared reading with a sharp focus on the targeted needs of a particular group with similar reading abilities and needs, including vocabulary development.' (Early Reading CPD resource- The National Strategies). At the earliest stages of guided reading it is important to carry on with teaching 'book behaviours'. As the child begins to apply phonic knowledge, texts should be selected with some words that can be decoded using existing knowledge (90%) and some that provide a degree of challenge (10%). Careful assessment of children during the discrete phonics session and through observations of children engaged in all areas of CLLD will help the practitioner plan for guided reading. A guided reading session which focuses on word recognition could be centred around reading a sentence or caption from a familiar story, or from a simple recipe written out for a cooking activity. Alternatively a session which focuses on comprehension may use real objects or story props to stimulate conversation and the teaching of new vocabulary.
It is important for practitioners to support children's development in communication, speaking and listening, as good speaking and listening skills give children confidence in reading and writing. If children become familiar with a range of core texts and are able to retell them confidently, they will be able to apply these skills to reading unfamiliar texts. Knowledge of book language and the way that stories are sequenced also helps children with their creative writing skills.
Developing children's ability to tune into sounds is a crucial element of reading. If children are able to distinguish between sounds in words and are aware of rhyme, rhythm and alliteration, this will help with reading skills. It is important that children are familiar with a wide range of rhymes and rhyming books. Instrument sessions will also support children to develop phonological awareness by helping them to develop a sense of rhythm through clapping along to a nursery rhyme or clapping beats in a name. This will help children when they need to break down long words into units or syllables.
In a high quality EYFS learning environment there should a wide range of opportunities to apply reading skills, for example: alphabet mats, alphabet charts, name cards placed in the writing corner or in the ICT area, print in the environment, food packaging, clearly labelled resources and questions on displays and in the learning environment. This should continue in the outdoor environment with signs for role play areas, road signs, a book area or a reading tent.
It is important to have well-resourced home reading books. This will encourage parents to read with their children at home, to reinforce the development of their reading skills. Parents can be informed about early reading and writing through parents workshops and by having a shared dialogue through reading diaries. A range of books can be sent home, including core books, library books and guided reading/scheme books. Many EYFS classrooms encourage parents to come and read with their children at the beginning or end of the day or invite parents in to carry out story sessions in their home language.
(From The Early Reading Experience in the Early Years Foundation Stage, 2011)
Document outlining the level of learning and development expected by the end of the EYFS in reading. Examples of reading are provided along with observations and commentaries.
Below shows the overarching statements defining the Assessment Focuses and what they mean in practical term in the classroom. The statements are generic so the level-specific indicators need to be accessed on the APP guideline sheets.
AF1 Use a range of strategies including accurate decoding of text, to read for meaning
AF2 Understand, describe, select or retrieve information, events or ideas from texts and use quotation and reference to text
AF3 Deduce, infer or interpret information, events or ideas from texts
AF4 Identify and comment on the structure and organisation of texts, including grammatical and presentational features at text level
AF5 Explain and comment on writers' uses of language, including grammatical and literary features at word and sentence level
AF6 Identify and comment on writers' purposes and viewpoints and the overall effect of the text on the reader
AF7 Relate texts to their social, cultural and historical contexts and literary traditions

What is Speak Up?
The Speak Up National Research Project collects and reports the views of K-12 students, teachers, administrators and parents about the use of technology for learning. Since 2003, over 3.9 million students, educators, business partners and community members, and parents have shared their views through the Speak Up surveys. These important stakeholder ideas influence local, state and federal policies and programs every year.
Why should I participate?
Speak Up is the first survey designed to help parents share their ideas directly with schools and national policymakers. As key stakeholders, Speak Up provides parents with a mechanism for expressing their views to the administrators at their child(ren)'s school and district about key issues impacting their child(ren)'s education. Since 2003, Speak Up has collected and shared the views of over 3.9 million students, teachers, parents, and business partners and community members from all 50 states and internationally. By participating in Speak Up, parents can express their views to a wider audience of local, state, and national policy makers as well as the business community—and contribute to the national dialog about science, technology, and preparing students for the 21st century workforce.
What can the administrators at my child(ren)'s school learn from the data?
When schools and districts participate in Speak Up they gain insight into:
The Speak Up data and national benchmarks are used by schools and districts to evaluate their current technology needs, inform their strategic planning and budgeting process, measure progress towards their technology goals. To learn more about Speak Up data, download our latest Speak Up reports.
When is Speak Up open?
The Speak Up surveys are open each fall from October through December. Results will be available to participating schools and districts the following February.
How long does it take to complete the survey?
The parent survey consists of about 25 multiple-choice questions and one open ended question at the end of the survey. The survey is administered online and should take you about 20 minutes to complete. Additionally we ask several demographic questions that are optional; we use these responses during our data analysis to provide additional context to our national data findings.
What is your privacy policy?
We acknowledge that privacy is a concern for visitors to our website. We treat any information that you provide through our web site with respect and confidentiality.
Where do I go to take the survey?
The Speak Up surveys can be accessed at a special Speak Up Survey landing page, that is updated with a new URL each year. Please check the Project Tomorrow, Speak Up homepage at www.tomorrow.org/speakup during the months of October and December for the most up to date link.
What are the step-by-step instructions to take the survey?
People often ask us for the specific step-by-step directions they should use when taking the Speak Up survey. Below we have provided instructions you can use to navigate through the process:
What if I have children that attend different schools in the district?
For expediency, we recommend that you take the survey only once for a single school. You will have the opportunity to select the grade levels of your children in the survey and we will summarize the results into the totals for the selected school, the district and national responses. If you prefer, you also have the option to take the survey multiple times for each of the schools your children may attend.
I'd like to get my child's school involved, how do I do that?
Any public or private school can register to participate in Speak Up. If you would like to encourage the administrators at your child(ren)'s school to participate to they can gain online access to their Speak Up reports, we encourage you to download and share this two-page introduction letter. which describes how they can register the school and participate in Speak Up.
What can I do to encourage participation?
As a parent there are many things you can do to encourage participation in the Speak Up survey in your community. Below are some suggestions on how to get the word out:
When will Speak Up data results be available
Survey results will be available to participating schools and districts, online, free-of-charge, beginning in February of next year. Speak Up national findings will be released in the beginning of next Spring through a variety of venues, including: Congressional Briefings in Washington, DC, national and regional conferences, and our website.
How do I access my school's Speak Up data?
To ensure confidentiality, the Speak Up results are password protected. To view your data, please email your school and/or district's specified contact.

How do I retrieve my Speak Up password?
As a parent you are not required to enter in a survey password "secret word" to take the survey. To be included in your child(ren)'s district's data please make sure to select your child(ren)'s school to access the survey through. If your child(ren)'s school is not listed, you may opt to take the survey without selecting a school by pressing the "click here" button above the list of schools (Please note, your responses will be included in the national data set only, if you select this option).
I didn't finish the survey, can I retrieve it?
The Speak Up surveys are designed to be completed in one 20+ minute online session. We have designed the survey to automatically save your answers, each time that you click the BLUE arrow next button on the bottom of each page. Unfortunately, once you exit the survey you will not be able to log back in to your original survey session.
If you would like to complete the survey, you can: 1). Start a new survey and click on the next button until you reach the question that you want to start answering or 2). Request that we delete the survey so that you can resubmit it. If you would like your survey deleted, send us an email with the survey number (which can be found on the top left hand side of the screen in red, the name of your school and state).

Honor Among Rogues
Alexander Edgeware, Lord Xavier, has quite a reputation—for daring, wagering, and wickedness in all its delightful forms. But the wager before him is hardly his preferred sport: Xavier must persuade a proper young lady to attend his famously naughty Christmas house party—and stay the full, ruinous two weeks. Worse, the lady is Louisa Oliver, a doe-eyed bookworm Xavier finds quite charming. Yet to refuse the challenge is impossible—he will simply have to appoint himself Miss Oliver's protector…
Mischief Among Misses
Louisa knows her chance for a husband has passed. But she has no desire to retire into spinsterhood without enjoying a few grand adventures first. When Lord Xavier's invitation arrives, Louisa is more intrigued than insulted. And once inside the rogues' gallery, she just may have a thing or two to teach her gentlemen friends about daring…
Season for Surrender is a holiday themed historical romance where the scandalous Lord Xavier is hosting his annual Christmas house party. To make things more interesting, Xavier's cousin Lord Lockwood proposes a wager: Xavier must invite and keep the proper Miss Louisa Oliver at the house for the full two weeks. Louisa, in turn is tired of her proper ways and accepts. To add to the mix, Lockwood is determine to win the wager by any means and well Xavier can't have that can he now. With the cozy Christmas season all around, love is bound to spark.
I love regent house parties, if anything because it's a good excuse for the couple to be in close quarters and in constant interaction. It's just a tad unfortunate that I found the main couple personality wise a bit flat. They are however, very entertaining when actually interacting with just each other, which I wish they did more of . But when they were, we get to see how they actually are under the facade they play for society, and I can see why they make a cute couple. Similarly the villain of the book was straight out of the bad guy cookie cutter. Lockwood was a jerk, who's selfish and jealous of his cousin's success and is determine to ruin their happiness. Louisa's aunt, however was quite funny and lively and brought the fun.
The plot was okay, but lacked the any solid substance. Nothing really happens, or rather the conflict and climax was a bit weak and to me, the problems the couple faced and that kept them apart wasn't really problematic and could have been easily solved if people just weren't so stubborn.
Overall the book was okay with touches of cute. A easy, fun holiday read for the historical romance readers.

In order to combat the onslaught of self-narcissistic gluttony that constantly assaults those living in these great United States, we talk to our kids often about children who live in the rest of the world without the comforts and blessings we have. When we tuck our kids in at night we pray for children without moms and dads – without houses or food or schools.
In the midst of watching some TV last night, a 3rd world assistance commercial came on. I noticed Eva seemed particularly concerned. But I didn't say anything, wondering if she'd bring it up later. Some more humorous ads passed before our show came back on, including Terry Crews' Old Spice commercial (in which his "mind gets blown").
Finally at dinner Eva brought up the ad she'd seen.
"Daddy, did you see that commercial with those little kids?" she asked.
"Yes, Eva, I did," I replied.
But before I could go anywhere else with the conversation, Luik added, "Daddy, did you see that commercial with guy's head exploded?"
And there goes the mood. Jenny and I completely lost it.
Boys will be boys.
The worst part is I thought the commercial was hilarious too. He's so my son.
As a closing comment, it's worth noting that Luik is extremely grateful to live in the US. Just the other day he walked in the kitchen and asked, "Daddy, can I go to America someday?" (I think he's been watching a little too much Fievel Goes West).
"Want to know a secret, Luik?" I knelt down close to him.
"You live in America."
His jaw dropped and he literally couldn't talk. ch:

Subj: USDA COALITION FOLLOW UP....WIDESPREAD ABUSE AT USDA CONTINUES
28 september 2015ms. portia bamiduro:good morning.this email is one of many follow ups regarding the usda coalition of minority employees, concerns regarding continued abuses and other violations at the us department of agriculture, during the obama/vilsack administration. i know saying such things make democrats on the hill very uncomfortable and they become silent on these kinds of matters and do nothing.that being said.....Black folks continue to suffer more than others in american society (see below story attached), and usda continues ignoring the regulations and illegally closing valid complaints filed by employees and customers.during this election cycle the powers that be in washington will not be able to ignore/cover up what has been going on at usda....all too long.hopefully, you will be getting back with the usda coalition and others that have contacted you in this regard....with some plan of positive and immediate action.we are aware that you have data/information regarding usda abuses from multiple sources.silence is not an option. people are suffering and we feel that little to nothing is being done to relieve their pain & suffering. we await hearing from you.respectfully,lawrence lucas, shadow presidentusda coalition of minority employeespresident emeritus856/ 910-2399

Neuroimaging studies towards understanding the central effects of pharmacological cannabis products on patients with epilepsy.
Category : Epilepsia
|Related Articles
Neuroimaging studies towards understanding the central effects of pharmacological cannabis products on patients with epilepsy.
Epilepsy Behav. 2017 Jan 18;:
Authors: Allendorfer JB, Szaflarski JP
Recent interest for the use of cannabis-derived products as therapeutic agents in the treatment of epilepsies has necessitated a reevaluation of their effects on brain and behavior. Overall, prolonged cannabis use is thought to result in functional and structural brain alterations. These effects may be dependent on a number of factors: e.g., which phytocannabinoid is used (e.g., cannabidiol (CBD) vs. tetrahyrocannabinol (THC)), the frequency of use (occasional vs. heavy), and at what age (prenatal, childhood, adulthood) the use began. However, due to the fact that there are over seven hundred constituents that make up the Cannabis sativa plant, it is difficult to determine which compound or combination of compounds is responsible for specific effects when studying recreational users. Therefore, this review focuses only on the functional MRI studies investigating the effects of specific pharmacological preparations of cannabis compounds, specifically THC, tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV), and CBD, on brain function in healthy individuals and persons with epilepsy with references to non-epilepsy studies only to underline the gaps in research that need to be filled before cannabis-derived products are considered for a wide use in the treatment of epilepsy. This article is part of a Special Issue titled Cannabinoids and Epilepsy.

Big Maths is a teaching method that makes progress in maths easy and fun for children and for teachers. Big Maths has been met with huge success across the UK and internationally. Thousands and thousands of children now learn through Big Maths everyday and take part in a 'Big Maths, Beat That!' challenge every week.
The children will be following a framework that guarantees numeracy progress and this framework is known as CLIC (Counting, Learn Its, It's Nothing New and Calculation) and is it follows accurate steps of progression (known as progress drives). CLIC is a sequential programme of basic skills which provides a daily drive to improve children's numeracy.
- Counting - in different ways and steps
- Learn Its - rapid recall of number facts
- It's Nothing New - apply those facts in new situations
- Calculations - learning reliable and efficient methods for the four operations
The programme involves teaching the four different elements of CLIC every day, from Monday to Thursday and then Friday's session is used for assessment. The assessments include a Big Maths Beat That Challenge. This is a total recall test where the children are given a set time to answer 'Learn Its' questions. There is also a CLIC test which involves 10 questions relating to concepts taught at children's individual level. The children are encouraged to beat their previous score. Once they have scored full marks, three weeks in a row, they move onto the next level. The results of these assessments will be reported home each week using your child's homework book.

D'Youville Professor and Student Present to Prevent Childhood Obesity
Buffalo, New York – July 07, 2017 – Dr. Kathleen Border, assistant professor of dietetics and Molly Brogan, a fifth-year dietetics student, represented D'Youville College at the International Conference on Childhood Obesity & Nutrition held June 12-13, 2017, in Rome, Italy.
The conference theme was "To Enhance the Prevention and Treatment Efforts for Childhood Obesity & Nutrition," showcasing the effects of childhood obesity, childhood obesity prevention, childhood nutrition, childhood obesity treatment, and topics related to obesity from the medical and pharmaceutical industry.
Dr. Border presented her research, "An Evaluation of a Pilot Farm-to-School Program: Student Knowledge and Awareness," to more than 50 distinguished researchers, practitioners, and educators from around the world along with Ms. Brogan, a graduate research assistant who shared her findings with attendees.
Practitioners at the conference presented their current research on treatment and prevention of childhood obesity, including the role of gut hormones in gastric bypass surgery and the development and validation of an emotional eating scale for children.
"Childhood obesity is a global crisis," said Border, who serves on the nutrition committee with the Buffalo Public Schools. "Bariatric surgery is increasingly a treatment option for children, but community nutrition education and physical activity programs are often the initial options for prevention and treatment."

A Comparison of Teenage Boys' and Girls' Orientations Towards Marriage and Procreation.
Thomas, Katheryn Ann
The objective of this study was to investigate the orientations of boys and girls towards marriage and procreation, a neglected area of sociological study, and to ascertain the manner in which the sexes may differ in these orientations. Reported are findings from a survey of Negro and white high school seniors and their dropout age peers residing in economically depressed areas of rural East Texas. Although the youth evinced a general desire to marry in their early twenties, Negro and white girls desired to marry earlier than their male counterparts. Regardless of sex or race, the overwhelming majority of youth desired and expected from 2 to 4 children. The white boys evidenced slightly lower desires for children than the white girls. Except for the Negro girls, the boys and girls preferred their spouses or themselves, respectively, not to work outside the home after children. However, regardless of race, girls were considerably more inclined towards working outside the home, at least until children, than the boys were towards their wife working. The central tendency in every sex-race grouping, except the Negro males, was to rank "desire to marry and raise a family" moderately relative to other goals. The Negro boys tended to rank these goals low. (Author)

The tides have turned for a classic Art Deco hotel that towers above Ocean Drive in Miami's trendy South Beach area.
Starting next month, The Tides will be managed by King & Grove, the boutique hotel group behind the popular hipster Surf Lodge and Ruschmeyer's hotels in Montauk, New York.
The Tides, which opened in 1936—and, at 10 stories, was once Miami's tallest building—underwent a makeover as recently as 2007 at the hands of Kelly Wearstler, the chic designer behind several Viceroy hotels including Viceroy Miami and Bergdorf Goodman's BG Restaurant in New York City. King & Grove will introduce its trademark blend of luxury and casual-kitsch while building on The Tides' nostalgic vibe. Changes to guest rooms, cuisine, and public spaces—including the pool area—are all in the works.

When you're fighting for your team's health and well-being two things are out to bite you: absenteeism and presenteeism.
Absenteeism is pretty straight forward: someone is ill and misses days at work. Depending on the country you are based in, your company has to either continue paying wages while that someone is absent or even directly cover the cost of their medical treatment. Sick days and medical expenses are something your company is probably already keeping track of.
Presenteeism is a bit more subtle. It means someone shows at work up but can't fully perform their job. A recent graphic example is Hillary Clinton collapsing during the 9/11 memorial service. While Clinton suffered from pneumonia, in general being tired or even depressed are among the most common causes of presenteeism according to the Integrated Benefits Institute. Although it's harder to measure, instruments such as the World Health Organization Workplace Health and Productivity Questionnaire can help.
So how big is the problem? A current study by GCC Insights estimates that on average four days per year and employee are lost to sick days (absenteeism) but more than ten times as much to presenteeism. Others are more conservative but still think the costs of presenteeism can be 2-3 times greater.
Now for the good news. Both problems can be addressed by setting up a holistic workplace well-being program. Even better, you're not only doing it for the love (we'll cover how your program can strengthen your employer brand in the next posts) but also for the money. Harvard calculated the average return on invest (ROI) of improved health in the workplace as 3:1. Just make sure your program covers the key drivers of presenteeism.
Stay healthy and engaged,

The dead of winter in Hanover, New Hampshire can be pretty damn dead and wintry, if you will excuse my lack of appropriate imagery. Think Iceland, during an Ice Age, all inside a wind tunnel inside a really big fridge, and you will get the idea. The days last about 3 hours, and if you're lucky it gets to a balmy forty-eight below.
And if you're like me, you say, damn, I wish summer would show up. But it's just not happening. It's like you're stuck in a frozen, deranged version of Camp Grenada, except with lots of snow instead of all that rain. And huge snowballs of death sliding off the roofs of buildings and gigantic sharp pointy icicles the size of small nations dive-bombing you from the trees. I once saw someone get hit by one of those icicles... he heard the CRACK! and had just enough time to look up and scream "NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" before the razor-sharp shards of frozen death hit him. He got one in each eye, one up the nose, and the main chunk went into his open mouth, straight down his throat, and out his ass, pausing along the way to break his arms, kneecap him, and cut his heart and liver into tiny little bits and feed it to his dog.
So you can see why we like it when summer shows up.
And we call, and call, and wait, and wait, and it sometimes seems like summer does not, in fact, answer when you call. But then, after a few months, it gets to be June and the snow starts melting, slowly... and then, finally, summer shows up, for a good two weeks before the snow comes back!
So you see, the title of this node is not strictly true. Summer does answer when you call. She just takes her sweet time picking up the phone.
does the nodeshell rescue team still exist? if so, they are in a singularly silly mood today

Cialis generico online farmacia senza ricetta in Roma A lot of agreements
will contain language similar to this:
http://cinziamazzamakeup.com/?x=quanto-costa-il-vardenafil-originale-20-mg-in-italia "XXX agrees that all
work performed in connection with XXX's services and all derivatives thereof
shall constitute "works made for hire" as that term is defined under 17 U.S.C.
sec. 101 and the author and owner of the work made for hire is Y Corp."
http://cinziamazzamakeup.com/?x=comprare-viagra-generico-50-mg This can create
confusion for some people, especially for independent contractors. Does a work
for hire agreement create an employer/employee relationship? The short answer
is no. A Work made for hire determines the ownership of the work performed and
not the actual relationship of the parties.
watch A "work for hire" or
a "work made for hire" is a copyright term of art. The definition is spelled
out in § 101 of the Copyright code. Works made for hire are property of the
contracting party or employer. If a company hires you as an employee, any work
you do for that company is a work for hire and is considered owned and authored
by the company. Similarly, if you are hired as an independent contractor for a
project and your contract contains a work for hire provision (like the one set
forth above), the work you do in connection with that project is deemed a work
made for hire.
here The independent
contractor relationship is a bit trickier than the more straightforward
employment relationship. The definition is narrowly tailored to include: "a
work specially ordered or commissioned for use as a contribution to a collective
work, as a part of a motion picture or other audiovisual work, as a
translation, as a supplementary work, as a compilation, as an instructional text..
if the parties expressly agree in a written instrument that the work shall be
considered a work made for hire."
enter An independent
programmer contributing to a game would probably fall under the "contribution
to a collective work" category. However, the language above means a couple of
things for the contracting party/company.
Clomid 50mg for male 1) The contract MUST
contain language like that stated above—i.e., it must clearly state that the
work is a work made for hire as that term is defined under 17 U.S.C. sec. 101.
This isn't negotiable.
2) The contract
should also contain an assignment provision on the off chance that the
independent contractor's work doesn't fall under one of the work for hire
categories. It should also address droit morale and other author rights that
may or may not be waivable.
An assignment of
rights will look something like this:
"In any event, XXX
does hereby assign, transfer, and set over to Y Corp., its successors and
assigns, one hundred percent (100%) of XXX's entire right, title and interest
in and to all works in connection with Z Project and all derivatives thereof (individually
and collectively herein "Works"), including without limitation any and all
so-called "moral rights" in and to Works, together with all copyright therein
throughout the world and any and all renewals and extensions of copyright
therein now known or hereafter existing under any law, rule, statute and/or
regulation now known or hereafter enacted, and including without limitation
exclusive rights to administer the Copyrights to Works. Works are the sole and
exclusive property of Y Corp free from any claim by XXX or any other person or
entity… XXX hereby waives any and all moral and author rights held by XXX in
connection to Works throughout the world to the extent that those rights are
For the sake of
brevity, I've cut that down a bit. It's saying that XXX (the independent
contractor) is assigning/transferring all of his remaining rights in and to his
work on the project to the contracting company. It also says that he has waived
his foreign moral and author rights to the extent that they are waivable (some
are not).
Here's a brief and
by no means all-inclusive list of things you should have in your agreement if
you are the source url contracting party (i.e.,
the company):
1) The words "work
for hire" or "work made for hire" and reference to sec. 101 of the Copyright
2) An assignment provision
assigning/transferring all rights in and to the desired work, including any and
all rights that may arise at some future time;
3) A waiver of any
and all moral and author's rights to the extent that they are waivable (this is
important. Failing to include "to the extent that they are waivable" may cause
the contract to be voided in some countries);
4) A specific
description of the works deemed as "works made for hire".
Here are some things
you want if you are an http://cinziamazzamakeup.com/?x=acquistare-viagra-generico-25-mg-pagamento-online-a-Parma independent
1) A statement of
any work that is being contributed to the project that should NOT be deemed a
work for hire—for instance, if you're bringing in specific know-how or a
program you previously wrote, that needs to be distinguished from the work you
are doing as a work made for hire. You want to include an addendum setting
forth everything you are bringing in to the project;
2) A retention of
rights for those things you are bringing to the table;
3) A clear statement
that any and all work performed outside the scope of the contracting party's
particular project by the independent contractor is the independent contractor's
sole and exclusive property (unless it too is subject to a work-for-hire
agreement, of course) and/or is not subject to the work made for hire
agreement. If you already know you are going to be working on something else,
you may want to consider spelling that out as well.
4) If you are
bringing in propriety know-how or your own trade secrets, you will definitely
want a NDA protecting your interests and prohibiting the misappropriation of
those trade secrets by the company. Limit the use of those trade secrets and
processes to the particular project in question, and take steps to retain the
confidentiality of those trade secrets.
Happy Easter!
