Aircraft maintenance checks are periodic inspections that have to be done on all commercial/civil aircraft after a certain amount of time or usage; military aircraft normally follow specific maintenance programmes which may or may not be similar to those of commercial/civil operators. Airlines and other commercial operators of large or turbine-powered aircraft follow a continuous inspection program approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the United States, or by other airworthiness authorities such as Transport Canada or the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). Each operator prepares a Continuous Airworthiness Maintenance Program (CAMP) under its Operations Specifications or "OpSpecs". The CAMP includes both routine and detailed inspections.
Airlines and airworthiness authorities casually refer to the detailed inspections as "checks", commonly one of the following: A check, B check, C check, or D check. A and B checks are lighter checks, while C and D are considered heavier checks. Aircraft operators may perform some work at their own facilities but often checks, and especially the heavier checks, take place at maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) company sites.

Pop star Taylor Swift has taken part in a bizarre candy-balancing stunt inspired by her hit song Shake It Off.
The Love Story hitmaker got involved with the After Eight Challenge while backstage at British radio station Capital FM's Jingle Bell Ball over the weekend (ends07Dec14).
Swift showed her sporting side by joining in the stunt, which involved placing a square of minty chocolate on her head and trying to manoeuvre it into her mouth without using her hands.
However, she failed to successfully complete the challenge, and cheekily cheated by manually placing the sweet treat into her mouth.

Sauerbraten is a classic German recipe that makes something wonderful from a less tender cut of beef by overnight marinating and slow cooking.
In this version, the pleasantly balanced sweet-sour taste comes from the syrup from spiced crab apples and red wine vinegar. In traditional fashion, the gravy is thickened with gingersnap crumbs.

As a yoga teacher who teaches both vinyasa and yin yoga, I am becoming increasingly aware about the need to stock up on props to support my students. I wish I had an unlimited resource of funds to be able to afford all the yoga blocks, bolsters and blankets I need! However, I don't and so I am taking it slow. I got myself two of those Ifugao blankets (which is very much like those thick ones other studios use!) and a new block. Yey. Now if only I can transfrom all the foam packaging my uncle used to ship supplies from the US into yoga blocks, I'd be set! Haha Seriously, though, any leads as to AFFORDABLE yet GOOD quality props for a private teacher? I'd appreciate any leads
How does one keep calm in the face of amazing sales??? I would venture that even the non-shopaholic and seasoned yogi would also have their hearts skip a beat at the sight of amazing deals at one of THE yoga clothing shopping mecca's in Manila, Certified Calm. To be honest, I have only stepped into Certified Calm a handful of times for two reasons: first, I used to feel SO bad that I could never fit into the clothes (or should I say I automatically assumed nothing but maybe socks and headbands would fit) and two, the prices couldn't fit my budget (but then again, I was spending crazy amounts of money for food! haha). However, when I became serious in my practice, I bought my mat from Certified Calm, and a few other stuff as well, but never really clothes.
Today, however, since I was teaching in BHS, I decided to drop by the store to check out the sale, as I had read about it on Facebook. OMG. I went craaaazy! Buti nalang I had class so I had to stop! Haha.
I got a really awesome deal with the Zobha tops. Like what I said about my first Lululemon some time ago, I used to shy away from them because I thought they were just too expensive and I was pretty satisfied with the ordinary tanks I would get at a fraction of the price at the department store. But after I discovered Lulu's and Prana's, I was hooked. And so today I got Zobha'd. Har. How could I resist, when I got them at half of what they usually retail for??? It came at the right time, too, because just yesterday, I texted my friend saying I needed new "work" clothes that weren't too low cut because last week (given my bountiful bosom) , things almost popped out! Nyahahaha An added bonus, I finally got myself a block to replace the one Joe chewed. I almost got a cork one too, which I really wanted, but sadly it was damaged. Boo. I would have taken it though, had I not seen the crack! Haha. Oh well
The Certified Calm sale on regular items at the BHS branch, as I understand, is on till tomorrow but the sale items will be there for the next week or so. The Shangri-la branch sale starts tomorrow, regular items go on till Sunday while sale items will be available for longer.
Certified Calm is located at the Ground Floor of the Two Parkade Building, Bonifacio Global City, along 30th and 7th streets and at the 3rd Level of the Shangri-La Plaza Mall.

Here I am!
October 17, 2013 1 Comment
So this whole time I have been secretly blogging to myself, with the belief that the whole word was able to view my adventures! Oops….
So although I'm already 2 months in, I'm going to repost some photos of the beginning of my trip!
Goodbye Sydney! This was extremely emotional saying goodbye to my mum and sister… And it didn't help that there was a couple having a passionately long embrace next to us. Nevertheless we managed to part and I slipped away into the departure gate ready for my long awaited expedition.
HELLO SAN FRANCISCO!!!!! So after an extremely long trip and a little hiccup at LAX airport (forgetting my DS2019 exchange application- Don't do it!!!!!) I was reunited with my cousins who lovingly took me in and cared for me until my jet lag had dissipated and I had reconnected with the beautiful city.
Delicious fresh food in the supermarket- only in California!
A day of exploring with my friend Jenna !!!
I never forget those hills!
A day exploring the funky Hate and Asbury district- groovy clothes and sweet potato fries- mhmmm!

My First Mac
In From the Start
Gary Adams - July 1999
My first computer was an IBM mainframe that I programmed in Fortran. We had to use an IBM 029 card punch and print out the output (which was on cards) on a line printer. I was enthralled. After graduating from college (in the dark ages - 1971) I moved on to graduate school in the humanities.
In 1982 I purchased my very own computer - a Kaypro II (2-360 kb disk drives, 64 kb ram, running C/PM). I was in heaven! I could write, do spreadsheets, construct a database, and even play games! Of course it was the game "graphics" were in ASCII, and I got a little bleary-eyed looking at the green phosphors playing "Ladders." But the computer was a bargain at $1895!
Then my older brother, who'd never been computer literate at all, told me about a new computer he'd bought - a Macintosh 128. I was green (almost the same color as the phosphors on my Kaypro II's screen) with envy. I found an Apple computer store and went in and looked at one. They had what they called a "Fat Mac," the same machine my brother had, but this one had not 128k ram, but 512! I played "Airborn." I fell in love.
My love took the form of a bank loan to buy a 512 Mac, an external 400k drive, and an ImageWriter printer - over $3000 worth of hardware. And it came with two neat little programs, which we all know were MacWrite and MacPaint. I was amazed at what the machine could do! And the screen wasn't green. It was like a TV set and you could really see pictures and they looked like what they were.
That was in about 1985, and my love affair with Macs has only been hindered by cash flow. I remember telling a friend who'd just bought a Plus that he would never need more than 1 MB of RAM (I was envious of all the RAM he had).
I still have the original Fat Mac, which I upgraded to 4 MB with a Dove upgrade. It still works, and I still use Deluxe Music Construction Set to compose some fair music. Over the years I was given a couple more Fat Macs, and I bought my first Plus with a real external Hard Drive (20 MB - who could need more disk space than that!).
It must be an addiction because I still have every Mac I've ever owned. In addition to the Fat Macs, I have an LC 550, 2 LC 631s, a PM 6220CD, a SuperMac C600/240, and a PM 6500/300, all of which have been maxed out on RAM.
I troubleshoot Wintel machines for fun and entertainment. Just this past weekend, a friend who'd purchased a new high-dollar Compaq and had two computer consultants working on it for two days to get a FoxPro database to print asked me to look at the program. I opened it up, and within two minutes was outputting a 96-page report to his high-dollar laser printer/copier. I told him, "If you'd listened to me, you'd have a Mac and wouldn't have this problem." The guys had charged him $100/hr.
Why doesn't everybody have a Mac? I don't know. Some people just never learn.
Gary Adams was using computers before the Apple I.

The Village Links is more than a place for recreation.
February 2006.
There are only a few golfers that are hardy enough to play golf on our 9 hole golf course, which is open all winter, but it's surprising how much wildlife is still active during the winter months. A Great Horned Owl has been visiting the golf course for the past few weeks. Great Blue Herons have stayed in Glen Ellyn most of the winter and can be found feeding in pockets of open water in the golf course pond that have not frozen due to this winters mild temperatures. A pair of Coyotes have made the golf course their home.
There are several Robins that didn't migrate south and have spent the entire winter at the golf course. The Village Links provides plenty of food in the form native shrubs. This Robin feeds on berries of a Black Chokeberry bush located in the main parking lot.
Feeding stations at the golf course supplement natural food sources. Cardinals are permanent residents at the golf course. Dark-eyed Juncos are only seen in Glen Ellyn during the winter months. They will leave in spring to migrate to their summer homes to the north.
March 30, 2006.
The first Tree Swallow appeared at the golf course. Tree Swallows return from their winter migration as soon as flying insects begin to appear.
March 31, 2006.
The first Bluebird appeared at the golf course.
April 3 , 2006.
A pair of Red-tailed Hawks have been incubating their eggs for 3 weeks in their nest near the top of an Eastern White Pine behind 12 green.
May 15 , 2006.
The Red-tailed Hawks eggs have hatched. The adults spend their time soaring over the golf course hunting for a meal to feed their growing young. Cavity nesting birds are competing for nest boxes. Bluebirds, Tree Swallows, Black-capped Chickadees and House Wrens have all begun nesting. There are approximately 30% more Tree Swallows on the golf course this spring. Staff has installed additional nest boxes to handle the increase in birds.
June 1, 2006.
The Red-tailed Hawks have 2 young who are one week from leaving the nest. Cavity nesting birds are busy laying eggs in many of the nest boxes set up around the golf course. Lori Carlson, who volunteers as a nest box monitor, reports that out of 9 nest boxes she watches, 6 boxes contain Tree Swallow nests and one box is occupied by a pair of Bluebirds. The Tree Swallows are in the process of laying eggs but the Bluebird eggs have already hatched.
June 29, 2006.
The Red-tailed Hawk babies are out of their nest. They have limited hunting skills and are still dependent on their parents for food.
Japanese Beetles are emerging and can be found feeding on trees, shrubs and flowers. The beetles, which appear at the end of June in Glen Ellyn, are the adults of white grubs that spend their life below ground feeding on grass roots.

Need some advice
I have a case in another state where the custodial parent and child reside. She wants to remove me from our daughter's life without probable reasoning– for good. She threatens me with motions for adoption. She has already started withholding information from me re: the condition & progress of the child. We have joint legal custody.
My child support is paid through CSE & there is a court order for visitation. I have advised her that I will oppose any such motion vigorously. It seems as if I must go through this harassment & punishment, AND my child dragged through the court system.
Are there motions and/or steps I can take to gain FULL custody of my child? I question the environment my child is in & am concerned that the Mother is unstable mentally. Any thoughts or help would greatly be appreciated! Thanx

Grand Lobby; all galleries
Pia Fries (Swiss; based in Dusseldorf, Germany) is internationally acclaimed as an undaunted and intrepid painter, whose exuberant paintings integrate silkscreened facsimiles of 17th-century Baroque and Mannerist prints and the gestural rigor and emotional depth of Abstract Expressionism with a contemporary sensibility.
Painter, sculptor, and mixed media artist Radcliffe Bailey (American, based in Atlanta, Georgia) layers found objects, materials, and potent imagery to explore connections between past and present, personal experience and collective memory. In this installation, Bailey references historical and ancestral communities and migrations, including enslaved African peoples escaping Virginia's Great Dismal Swamp, while examining concepts of identity race, culture, and the mnemonic power of objects.

Please visit the BMP site for information about services, pricing, and policies.
The Biorepository and Molecular Pathology (BMP) Shared Resource supports cancer investigators by seamlessly integrating biorepository, histology and state-of-the-art molecular diagnostic services in support of clinical, translational, and basic science research at Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI) and the University of Utah. The BMP consists of three distinct sections: 1) Biorepository, 2) Research Histology, and 3) Molecular Diagnostics.
The Biorepository Section of the BMP is responsible for collecting, storing, tracking, processing, and distributing human tissue and blood biospecimens. The College of American Pathologists (CAP) Certified Biorepository currently tracks more than 30,000 specimens through a Biospecimen Tracking Database called itBioPath, which links important clinical and pathological information with collected specimens. The vast majority of cancer patients (>90%) undergoing surgery at HCI consent to donate tissue and blood for research purposes. The Biorepository's mission is to provide high-quality, clinically annotated specimens and superior service to the broad University of Utah (U of U) research community. Cancer specimens of all types are collected by the Biorepository under IRB #10924 Molecular Classifications of Cancer. This protocol was established to streamline the process of collecting, tracking, and utilizing cancer biospecimens for researchers at the U of U. Collection of fresh tissue for research is a priority. On average, the Biorepository procures approximately 20 percent of tissues as fresh frozen. In addition, clinical specimens, archived as formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue, are readily accessible for research from the Pathology Department on all consented patients. Samples collected by the Biorepository primarily come from within the U of U; however, protocols are in place for collection of specimens at other hospitals within the greater Salt Lake City area. The Biorepository's IRB protocol is linked to several clinical and research databases at the U of U, including the Data Warehouse, the Tumor Registry, and the Utah Population Database. Thus, the integrity and accuracy of clinical data associated with specimens collected by the Resource are ensured by established quality-control measures.
The Research Histology Section performs all manners of routine and specialized histology services including, processing, embedding, sectioning and staining of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) specimens. Research Histology will also section frozen specimens and will generate tissue microarrays. In addition, the Research Histology Section can retrieve archival FFPE specimens for patients consented on clinical trials. Please contact the Biorepository to verify consent if you would like to use archival FFPE tissue from patients consented on HCI's general tissue collection IRB #10924 Molecular Classifications of Cancer Protocol.
The Molecular Diagnostics Section provides cutting-edge molecular diagnostic tests utilizing the latest technologies. The Molecular Diagnostics laboratory works closely with the Biorepository and Research Histology Sections to quickly obtain specimens from patients consented on clinical trials. This enables researchers to integrate real-time molecular testing into clinical trial protocols helping to bring new research discoveries to patients. Currently, the Molecular Diagnostics laboratory offers a variety of services including DNA isolation from FFPE specimens, SNP Genotyping and Somatic Mutation Profiling with the Sequenom MassArray system for both research and clinical trial specimens.

The PRINCE2 Conversion event provides exam preparation for those delegates wishing to progress from Foundation to Practitioner level, and as such is, exam-focused.
The aim is to provide delegates with the opportunity to apply learning of the PRINCE2 methodology to scenarios similar in format to those used in the APM Group Practitioner Exam. The Practitioner exam requires delegates to demonstrate an understanding of the application of PRINCE2. It is a pre-requisite that the Foundation Exam which tests basic knowledge of the method itself, has been passed in order to take the Practitioner Exam.
The objective of this event is primarily to apply previous learning of the method to set problem examples, no new learning is to be expected, although the Event Manager will be on-hand to provide feedback and guidance on structuring written answers.
Who would this be relevant for?
• The Examination Preparation Event is designed for anyone who has already taken and passed the Foundation Exam and wishes to receive advice and guidance in preparation for taking the APM Group Practitioner Examination.
• PLEASE NOTE: This event is not suitable for anyone wishing to learn or substantially revise the PRINCE2 Method. The expectation is that all Delegates attending will already have reached the standard of knowledge and passed the pre-requisite Foundation Examination.
• Anyone who has learned PRINCE2 through distance learning can benefit from revision for the Practitioners exam. Please contact us for advice on the suitability of this event.
• Please contact us for availability. The event can also be delivered at Clients' sites in 2-3 day formats as required.
Introduction to Preparation for the Practitioner Examination
Explanation of the Examination; Structure; Procedure; Hints & Tips
Typical Topics* for Preparation and individual practical work include:
• Product-Based Planning
• Risk Analysis
• Organisation
• Controls
• Configuration Management & Change Control
• Delegates will be provided with opportunity to attempt a range of styles of Practitioner Exam questions with feedback available from the Event Manager
• The Exam – Time Management, and exam technique will also be addressed
*Please Note: The actual topics covered will be varied by the Event Manager to reflect current and relevant examination questions and themes.
• Following the event, candidates will have had an opportunity to try out the application of their existing PRINCE2 knowledge to a number of typical scenarios. Candidates will be able to discuss different approaches with the Event Manager and colleagues and to receive feedback on their own written work. It is hoped that this preparation will improve the likelihood of passing the APMG Practitioner Exam. However, success in the exam requires some basic analytical and report writing skills under time pressure and the event is not intended to provide anything other than a high-level appreciation of these important skills.
• Delegates will usually join an open Practitioner training event on its fourth day and take the APM Group Practitioner Examination on Friday morning. All documentation required for the exam is expected to be in the Candidate's possession e.g. PRINCE2 Manual etc.

Over the long weekend, I found some time to keep working on the redesign/update of my website, including the Rec Arts Comics Creative area. I've had a clear picture of how I wanted it to work for a while now, but I kept getting stumped when I tried to apply a design to it... it just wouldn't come together. Over the last couple days, it finally started to gel, and I have the following (in-progress) page in working order...
I've managed to strap the general layout I previewed before with the colours and logo I put together recently, all on HTML5. Also, rather than parsing Google Groups' RSS feed every time the page is loaded, I now have a cron script that drops all new items into a database... much faster page loads, and easier to manage.
The news on the left sidebar now have short summaries, rather than just the titles. The biggest change has been the "collapse" of the recently released comic issues in the main column. In the current live site, each posted issue had a place on the twelve-recent-issues main column... however, I was discovering that issues usually came from the same series in "bursts". Someone would write a four issue arc for example, and those issues would make up a quarter of the recent releases. There was nothing inherently wrong with that, but I wanted it to be more like a comic-book stand; highlight all the recent series (not necessarily the recent issues), and have "previous" issues available "behind" them.
The new layout is a move toward that idea. Now, when an new issue is posted, it automatically appears at the top of the column, as before. If there is an older issue in the column (released earlier), then it is removed, and listed with the newest issue under the Past Issues heading. A great result of this is the new layout lists issues from today all the way back to early November, where the current one only lists it back to mid-January... yet both only have about twelve main entries.
Hope you RACC-eteers the preview. Feel free to comment with thoughts and/or suggestions :)

This month we will be looking at questions surrounding the Child Victims Act. It is a true opportunity for justice to people who for many years were denied the right. The abused will now have three years to bring a claim. With a new Act there are always questions that we hope to be able to answer.
If you are not a survivor and are only a witness or someone who has information, your contact could be very important. It is not unusual in these cases to find individuals who are vital to disclosing information about transfers that were done or when information was known concerning their abuse that took place.
Justice can be found by acting now.
Abuse of children and the continued silence by the offenders needs to be prevented. If you suffered, saw, or suspected such events, it is important to know that there is help out there.

"Water is the driving force of all nature" – Leonardo Da Vinci
It is no secret that we often fail to give credit to the most powerful, important and necessary sources of life. We sometimes neglect all those things that are truly important, our family and loved ones included. We often forget that they are not things that everyone is lucky enough to have, and we feel entitled to those things. On this occasion I would like to talk about the luxury water is.
In 2010 water and sanitation were recognized as a human right by the UN, and they were declared a prerequisite for the fulfillment of other human rights. Human rights by definition are the rights we have simply for being human, but if not all humans have them, they become rights for an exclusive amount of humans. Human rights are universal or they are nothing, and as we see in this case in which 663 million people have no access to safe water, they are not universal. This makes up 1/10 of the world population. So while you enjoy an endless flow of water from you tap someone else is missing the opportunity to get an education in order to walk for miles to find some water (often not safe).
How many times a day do you flush your toilet? at least 6-7 times on an average day. But did you know that two thirds of the world population doesn't have a toilet to flush? This for a lot of people means they have to find other ways to do their necessities and in many cases this means a lack of dignity for people. In my opinion everybody deserves a dignified life, what do you think?
The Facts About the Water Crisis:
- The 3rd leading cause of child death is diarrhea, a majority of which is water-related.
- 1/3 of all schools lack access to safe water and adequate sanitation.
- Every 90 seconds a child dies from a water-related disease.
- Women and girls spend 6 hours each day collecting water.
- At least one million people are killed by water, sanitation and hygiene-related disease each year.
- 260 billion dollars are lost globally each year due to lack of safe water and sanitation.
As we can see the lack of water affects everybody, but women and children are the most direct victims. The economy is also impacted significantly as a result of this crisis.
A Women Crisis
Women are disproportionately affected by the water crisis, as they are often responsible for collecting water. This takes time away from work, school and caring for family. Lack of water and sanitation lock women in a cycle of poverty.
Empowering women is critical to solving the water crisis. Involving women can make water projects 6 to 7 more times effective. When women have access to safe water, they can pursue skills outside of their traditional roles and experience greater autonomy and independence.
A Health Crisis
The water crisis is a health crisis. Access to safe water and sanitation means opportunity for improved health and the ability to help fight disease. Access to safe water means improved health for women and girls who no longer have to delay finding a place to go. It means reduced child and maternal mortality rates. It means increased dignity and reduced psychological stress for girls and women. It means reduced physical injury from constant lifting and carrying heavy loads of water. And it means reduced risk of rape, sexual assault and increased safety as women and girls do not have to go to remote and dangerous places to relieve themselves.
A Children's and Education Crisis
Children are often responsible for collecting water to help their families. This takes time away from school and play. Access to safe water and sanitation changes this. Reductions in time spent collecting water have been found to increase school attendance. Access to safe water gives children time to play and opportunity for a bright future.
An Economic Crisis
Time spent gathering water or seeking safe sanitation accounts for billions in lost economic opportunities. Access to safe water and sanitation turns time spent into time saved, giving families more time to pursue education and work opportunities that will help break the cycle of poverty.
Now that we understand the crisis a little bit better, how can we contribute to change the situation of our fellow human beings? I have looked at many different organizations but for a while I have liked the way water.org works. Having helped over 6 million people in the last 25 years, water.org continues their brilliant WaterCredit program that consists in empowering women and families with small loans to create an access to safe water for all their necessities. I truly believe that their micro-financing techniques are a good solution and I want to contribute to make sure more people are able to obtain these loans and change their situation. We have the opportunity to help break the cycle of poverty for millions of people!
I am starting a fundraiser for water.org, please help me reach my goal by donating (even a dollar) to this worthy cause.

With the third GOP debate in less than two weeks set to focus on the economy, Sen. Marco Rubio laid out his plan for a "21st century" energy policy during a Friday address in Ohio.
In the speech, Rubio touted a three-pronged approach to achieving this goal: minimizing government bureaucracy and its effects on the industry, maximizing private innovation and optimizing America's resources.
Rubio told the Salem, Ohio crowd that he will institute a National Regulatory Budget, which will cause federal agencies to "limit the amount of new rules" they can toss on the private sector.
"I'll then immediately stop the Clean Power Plan. Period," Rubio said in his prepared remarks. "Over the years, coal has done everything it's been asked to do. The days of big clouds of toxic smoke rising out of power plants are long over, and it's time we let coal get back to the task of creating jobs and growing our economy."
The Florida senator also argued for simplifying the process of approving permits, pointing to a national gas pipeline into the Sunshine State that has been held up for almost three years, as well as the Keystone XL Pipeline. He also pushed support for fracking, an issue that has garnered support among Republicans across the spectrum and some Democrats. Supporters say it has helped consumers gas bills fall by nearly $13 billion a year.Read more on WashingtonExaminer.com

The key to a strong political narrative in the UK is to build it into our children and encourage them to actively engage with politics. Not just activism but a genuine understanding of political theory and philosophy. Start by teaching politics in schools (Y10/11), teach all political philosophies unbiased, and how they align to the current political thought and parties - build knowledge and insight across the spectrum. Teach how to establish a new party if none exists for their views and how to get involved in activism and grass-roots politics - underpin it with real, deliberate thought and action. Teach peaceful activism and debate and encourage students to engage with the NUS and establish school political unions – teachers have one. Encourage debate. Advance the voting age to 16 – its their future, let them have a say; but do it once you have brought the impact their decision to reality. Make it real: encourage politicians to engage with schools. Not just turn up and give speeches for photo ops but really engage and chair debates, take part in debates – be challenged by students!

Sue Fewster commented 2016-07-30 21:22:50 +0100in my opinion citizenship lessons are used to deliver PHSE lessons on drugs, sexual health, alcohol abuse etc… You know the things that most state pupils seem to have oroblems with.
Sue Fewster commented 2016-07-30 21:19:49 +0100We engage the teachers by making it a Core subject: one that all students must reach a certain level of achievement in. In other words one that impacts the schools position in league tables…
Tim Whitcher commented 2016-07-30 20:23:47 +0100In most private schools… that's an interesting point because it doesn't appear to be the case in state schools (based on the experience of young relatives / friends kids). In which case it should in state schools from Y7 onward as well. And as you say – taken seriously. So the question is how do we engage the teachers?
Sue Fewster commented 2016-07-30 19:48:20 +0100I agree with the notion of teaching politics in state schools. It currently happens in most private schools from Year 7, so why only in Years 10 and 11?
Blunkett tried to influence this in citizenship lessons, which are still supposed to be taught. But teachers are not engaging: they don't take it seriously and citizenship lessons are often used as carpaccio up time for exam revision etc; another reason it needs to be started earlier, or, even better to become a compulsory element in the Ebacc and one of the Core subjects schools are measured on.
A further difficulty would be the recruitment of teachers in politics… Not many around.

Have dog will travel
Why leave your four-legged friends behind when there are lots of pet-friendly spots all within short-hop distance?
Whatever the season, there's really no reason to leave Fido behind when you want to get out of town to enjoy nature or simply to discover some different vistas nearby. Here are a few canine-friendly accommodations perfect for short-hop travel with your pooch.
The Laurentians
Just north of Montreal and handy to St. Jovite and Mont Tremblant is Domaine Summum, one of the most dog-friendly accommodations you're ever likely to find. Owner Birgit Shultz is a true a dog lover and a breeder of Bernese Mountain dogs. She owns eight of her own (and one cat who thinks he runs the place) and also runs an on-site doggie hotel called Woof B&B (bed and biscuits), a doggie daycare, and a special spa just for dogs. As for human guests, they have a choice of cozy log apartments, spacious cottages or the large clubhouse that can sleep up to 18 people and accommodate 8 dogs. The resort crests a private lake and is surrounded by miles of trails criss-crossing lush forests. Using a leash on the grounds is optional and the first two dogs stay free. Sherry Bedard, who runs a local dog club called "Power Paws," was thrilled to discover this spot. She says, "When we do outings we are often relegated to finding a camping area because as soon as a resort hears we are a 'dog club,' the reception becomes very chilly. But not here! This is a paradise for both dogs and their owners."
Quebec City
If you want to enjoy the famous Quebec winter carnival but don't want your best buddy to miss all the fun, the Loews Hôtel Le Concorde is right in the heart of the action and the entire chain is one of the most pet-friendly around.
The hotel does charge a fee, but sometimes it's waived when they are holding one of their "Woofie Weekend" specials. Perks for your pet include pet tags, personal bowl and special treats, their own room-service menu, special bedding, leashes, collars, doggie waste bags and more. Cats are also welcome. Hilton Quebec is also pet-friendly, and Fairmont Le Château Frontenac has a canine ambassador called "Santol" ready to greet you in the lobby. Both hotels charge a fee but also offer up special pet extras.
Pet-accommodating hotels in downtown Ottawa include the Delta Ottawa City Centre, which charges a fee, and the Radisson Hotel Ottawa Parliament Hill, where small pets (40 pounds or less) stay free. Just 20 minutes south of the nation's capitol is an extremely pet-friendly B&B called the Black Lab Inn. It's a charming five-bedroom Victorian-style house with plenty of green spaces nearby – and dogs stay free.
The owners say, "We've always had a hard time travelling with our own dogs and wanted to do something for other dog-lovers. Besides, we've never had a dog steal towels, bedclothes, silverware, or pictures off the walls. We've never had to evict a dog in the middle of the night for being drunk and disorderly. And, we've never had a dog run out on a hotel bill! So, if your dog will vouch for you, you are welcome to stay with us, too."
The Wakefield Mill Inn and Spa is a beautiful heritage building cresting Gatineau Park and a perfect place to see the fall leaves at their peak. Although the main mill building does not accept pets, the new River Eco-lodge right beside it does. Sales and marketing rep Tasha Forget (a dog lover) says, "We are right at the mouth of miles of fabulous walking and cross-country ski trails in the park. It would be a shame not to allow guests to enjoy this natural area with their pets. We also offer special doggie beds, and bowls and eco-friendly doggie-doo bags."

Eastern Townships
The Delta Sherbrooke accepts dogs for a fee, but if you are seeking a more rustic choice in the townships, Hôtel et Condos Le Montagnard Sutton is the spot. They are dog-friendly (there is a small fee), there is plenty of space for nature romps around the surrounding woods and a wide range of accommodations to suit different styles including studios, cottages, chalets and condos.
If you have out-of-town visitors seeking dog-friendly accommodations or want to have a staycation in the city with your own pet, some local hotels happily accept dogs, for a fee.
Sofitel, Fairmont the Queen elizabeth, delta hotel Montreal, and hotel omni Mont-royal are all pet-friendly.
If you are going away, really need to leave your best friend behind and would rather not board it in a regular kennel, there is the hotel balto in Vaudreuil-Dorion. this hotel is just for dogs and cats (no owners allowed) and is designed to pamper your pet with the kind of royal treatment one would expect a human guest to receive in a five-star resort.
There's also a cool urban adventure you can take with your pet without leaving town at Brandy's Holistic Centre and Canine Café on Marie-Anne St. near Berri St. Here, pets and their owners can enjoy some inside socializing time and a treat in the same spot together. (Free Wi-Fi, too!)

Welcome to the Department of Writing, Rhetoric and Communications at KITE. This department impacts every student at KITE through its writing and communication courses which aim to develop creative thinking skills through the study of argument and using alternate means to understand the same text in different ways. The flexibility of these courses allows students to pursue persuasive, technical and nonfiction writing according to their interest and the need of the field they plan to pursue.
A minor in Rhetoric and Writing is compulsory for all KITE undergraduates and offers an interdisciplinary approach to the study of human communication. It aims to inculcate exceptional writing and analytical abilities in students to ensure they can communicate, persuade and criticize effectively to meet the demands of all professions ranging from law, marketing and science to politics and professional writing.
The vision behind this minor is to provide students a new lens with which to look at the world and the discipline that they choose to pursue. It will empower students to eloquently communicate their thoughts and ideas and ensure they use language responsibly and strategically to develop the veracity and authority of their own voice.
The Rhetoric and Writing Studies minor is an ideal subject of study to combine with other majors or minors. A small student faculty ratio in classes will allow close interaction with faculty and it complements virtually any field of study.
|Course Code
|Course Description
Business English(Grammar)
This course provides students with instruction and practice in writing, organizing and developing effective and coherent paragraphs. Focus is made specifically on grammar, word usage, conciseness, clarity, punctuation, spelling, and dictionary study. Case studies at the end of each chapter help in actual editing practice on actual business memos/letters. Collaborative learning provides students an opportunity to work in groups, hence provide interactive and effective learning.
Business English(English Composition)
|Business English focuses on enhancing the writing skills of students as a recurrent process. The main goal is to train students to critically analyse, through reading and writing. Students will go through a rigorous process of development, dictions and genre analysis. With a strategic integration between communication theory and practice with real life situation application, students learn the art of writing and concept development. The students will be introduced to envelop, persuasive writing which will help them to critically develop analytical research. It will also encourage the students to read widely and analyse written prose and to develop paraphrasing skills. It will also sharpen their powers of observation and skills for writing about personnel, public, professional needs and problems. Apart from this it will further build their understanding on the techniques of composition.
Business Communication (Correspondence and Business Reports)
|Business Communications is a survey course of communications skills needed in the business environment. Emphasis is placed on teaching and handling organizational problems by establishing and understanding formal and informal communication network. The course aims to prepare students for different functional situations and equip them with a broad perspective for reintegrating the practical usage at work.

The Pattern and Structure Assessment (PASA) and the Pattern and Structure Mathematics Awareness Program (PASMAP) together form an innovative way of investigating and improving young children's understanding of mathematics.
Rather than focusing on what mathematics learners can and cannot do, PASA seeks to find out how students think about mathematical ideas underlying tasks.
By knowing how students approach tasks, teachers can plan and scaffold individual learning experiences.
Students with a greater awareness of mathematical pattern and structure tend to do better at mathematics. The good news is that every child's AMPS can be improved by appropriate teaching.
Using a one-on-one approach, PASA is an innovative way of investigating young students' understanding of mathematics.
Rather than focusing on what mathematics learners can and cannot do, PASA seeks to find out how students think about mathematical ideas. PASA assesses students' awareness of mathematical pattern and structure.
It consists of three one-on-one assessments designed for learners in the first three years of formal schooling.
Each PASA assessment consists of approximately 15 tasks, covering a wide variety of ideas that underlie strands of the early years Australian Curriculum: Mathematics.
The Pattern and Structure Mathematical Awareness Program (PASMAP) focuses on developing awareness of pattern and structure that underpins early years mathematics
When used in conjunction with PASA, teachers can use students' results to help select the most effective PASMAP learning sequences for their students. They can also see which students may need additional support, and which students may be challenged to explore ideas more deeply.
Key Features
Detailed Analysis
PASA in conjunction with PASMAP provides in-depth diagnostic information about a child's mathematical thinking as well as appropriate and flexible lesson plans.
Comparative Scoring
A common scale for the three assessments allows teachers to track progress over time, and use results to enhance learning with appropriate PASMAP learning sequences.
Equated to PAT Scales
PASA's AMPS scale results have been equated to the PAT Maths scale, allowing teachers currently using PAT to use PASA as a complementary assessment.
Hand Scoring
PASA can be hand scored using a downloadable spreadsheet which creates individual and group diagnostic reports to identify strengths and weaknesses to inform teaching.
ACER Scoring
PASA can be scored automatically using ACER Test Scoring and Analysis. Response booklets are sent to ACER with an order form indicating which reports are required.
Pricing and Purchasing
Both PASA and PASMAP materials can be purchased through the ACER Online Shop, or by physical order form, which can be faxed or emailed to ACER Customer Service.

Call for Nominations
Awards and Distinctions
Among the most significant acts undertaken by our University is the awarding of honours to individuals who have achieved great distinction through their contributions to the University and/or the local or global community. Honorary degrees and fellowships are awarded at Convocation on the authority of the Senate, and the Senate selects those to be honoured on the recommendation of its Honorary Degrees Committee. As Chair of that Committee, I am pleased to invite members of the University community to nominate individuals for consideration.
The University awards several different honours, notably Honorary Degrees and Fellowships. Honorary degrees (Doctor of Divinity, Doctor of Letters, Doctor of Laws, Doctor of Science) are awarded to individuals from outside the University, who have made significant contributions to society; Fellowships (Fellow of United College and Fellow of The University of Winnipeg) are awarded to those former staff and volunteers, respectively, whose contributions have been primarily to The University of Winnipeg. Details are as follows:
DD (Doctor of Divinity) – This degree is conferred upon an ordained or consecrated member of the clergy for service in ministry. The DD was the only honorary degree conferred by this University prior to 1967.
LLD (Doctor of Laws) – This degree is conferred upon those recognized for service to the community, and for those recognized for scholarship in academic disciplines other than the sciences. The LLD is the most frequently given honorary degree, and was first conferred in 1968.
DSc (Doctor of Science) – This degree is conferred for scholarship in the sciences. The first DSc was conferred by this University in 1982.
LittD (Doctor of Letters) – This degree is conferred upon those whom the University wishes to recognize in the Literary, Performing, Visual or Fine Arts. The LittD has been conferred by this University several times since 1986.
Honorary Degrees are not generally conferred upon members or former members of the faculty, but exceptions can and have been made. The standard practice is to honour former faculty (and staff) by granting them Fellowship in United College. It is also standard practice for honourees to be honoured only once.
Fellowship in United College – Prior to 1967, the University awarded Fellowship in United College in lieu of honorary degrees. Fellowship in United College is awarded for distinguished service to The University of Winnipeg, and is reserved for retirees of the University, both faculty and staff, including the Collegiate.
Fellowship in the University of Winnipeg – In 2000, the Honorary Degrees Committee recommended that service to the University by volunteers be recognized by a new honour of Fellowship in The University of Winnipeg.
Emeritus Rank - The category of Professor emeritus is open only to retired members of the teaching faculty, who have attained the rank of Professor, The conferring of emeritus rank upon a retiring Professor is not, however, automatic, but is reserved for those who have served their academic disciplines with distinction, or the University with great distinction.
Academic administrators who have served the University with distinction are also eligible to receive the emeritus designation appropriate to their administrative position.
It has also been Senate's practice, on occasion, to award the rank of Instructor emeritus to a retired member of the Collegiate faculty.
If you would like to make a nomination for any of the above outlined honours, please submit it to the University Secretary (710 – 491 Portage Avenue), who serves as Secretary of the Senate and of the Honorary Degrees and Fellowships Committee, by Monday, December 11, 2017.
Your nomination should be in the form of a letter, stating your reasons for making the nomination, which should speak to your nominee's suitability for an honorary degree or fellowship and, in the case of an honorary degree, to the matter of his or her connection with The University of Winnipeg or its ideals. Please ensure the particular honorary degree the nominee is most suited for is noted. In addition to your letter of nomination, please provide the following:
(a) letters in support of your nomination:
- Minimum of two (2) letters of support and maximum of four (4) letters of support;
- Each letter of support not to exceed two (2) pages (if double sided, not to exceed one (1) page);
- If additional letters of support are received, please include a list of individuals who have submitted letters. Additional letters may be included, and will be kept on file in the Office of the University Secretary and General Counsel, and can be reviewed by members of the Honorary Degrees and Fellowships Committee upon request.
(b) current resume or curriculum vitae of the nominee, containing current contact information; and
(c) your current contact information.
Nominations which do not comply with the guidelines noted above will be returned to the nominator for revision.
Dr. Annette Trimbee
President & Vice-Chancellor

In the hotel industry, there's a longstanding tradition of leaders making decisions based on gut instinct. Whether it's a general manager who's been in the business for decades or a corporate executive who quickly climbed the ranks, hoteliers take pride in drawing from experience and expertise to make bold decisions and snap judgments.
This may have been acceptable when there was little data to draw upon, but in the digital age virtually every department, at property level and enterprise level, holds vast amounts of data to help managers understand guests, increase efficiency, and guide strategic planning.

i hope that some day i can love this well.
"How can I stay in love with a man who hasn't spoken to me in a year and a half? A man who can't plan a special date for us, can't tell me anything without me asking first, can't challenge me, earn money for us, lead us in devotions or call me at work to see how my day is going. I dont' know how. I also don't know how God still loves me, someone who has nothing to offer Him. But both have happened and have made my life infinitely better."

markymark, excuse me for saying so, but you're an IDIOT. she isn't in love with a bad boy, she's in love with a wonderful man who is now in a semi-comatose state due to a tragic car accident. before the accident, he was an active, giving, wonderful guy. now, he can hardly move and communicates mostly thru blinking. his girlfriend, larissa, has remained by his side over the last 2 years since the accident, even though his progress is slow and she could've bailed out any time she wanted.
hope your foot tastes good.

Intuition Games: The Golden Globes
It's award show season! Tonight I will be watching the Golden Globes – partly because I find them funny but I also have a very practical reason. It's the same reason I intend to watch every entertainment award show televised in the next couple of months from the Globes to the SAGs to the Oscars.
Now I absolutely love movies, but I will be honest and admit that I haven't seen half of the shows nominated this year.
Why watch it then? One of my favorite things: playing with intuition!
Developing your intuitive skills and getting attuned to your inner voice is actually not all breathing exercises, studying, meditating, and serious practice. In fact, the more you can find ways to play and have fun with intuition, the better you will become at it.
And awards shows are an excellent opportunity to have a great time playing with the difference between what you think and what you know.
Have the TV on in the background if you're really not interested in watching or need to do other things – cooking, chores, crafts, paperwork, etc.
Then – when they are announcing the nominees, briefly take mental note of each nominee for that category.
Before they announce the winner, quickly:
Step 1: Ask yourself who you think (based on your mind and judgement) will win.
Step 2: Ask your intuition (dropping your energy to your belly) who will win.
Step 3: When they announce the winner, see who's right – thinking mind, or gut instinct.
The trick is to take the first answer that comes to you in Step 2.
No second guessing! It may not make sense to your brain and that's cool – intuition often disagrees with intellect and – as you will see by playing this game – it's often right.
Take this example: maybe you think George Clooney will win Best Actor because of all the publicity you've heard and the predictions made by all the media outlets. But for some reason, your gut says, "No, Michael Fassbender will win" even though before that moment you had never heard of that actor. That's ok – take note and just see what happens.
A big part of developing your intuition is increasing your trust in yourself – in your instincts, in what your body knows over your analytical mind.
The great thing about intuitive games is that:
- They're fun
- They work
- They're inconsequential
You won't lose sleep, money, or wellbeing by testing your intuition on awards shows. But you will get a good sense of how intuitive you really are and build that trust.
More trust = stronger intuition.
And with stronger intuition, you will have a greater certainty with your instincts when it is time to make the bigger life decisions.
Happy watching, and have fun!

Wasilla Christian Trial Lawyers
Wasilla, Alaska Christian trial attorneys can provide you with the legal help you need for your claim or lawsuit. Some people prefer to work with a lawyer who shares similar beliefs and values that they hold.
It can be both morally and ethically demanding to go to trial for a lawsuit. Many legal issues that are involved in civil, criminal, and family cases can raise concerns even before trial begins. You may also have concerns about your trial lawyer's personal history in terms of state ethics and professional rules.
Alaska attorneys are required by law to adhere to strict ethical and professional conduct rules. At LegalMatch, we select only attorneys with reliable track records for practice in Wasilla and Alaska.
The Importance of Having an Experienced Trial Lawyer in Wasilla, Alaska
Trials in Wasilla are often complex in nature. Legal trials and proceedings typically require legal assistance from an experienced trial attorney. Due to the very unique and specific laws that can be involved during a trial in Wasilla, Alaska, it's normally necessary that you hire a qualified Christian attorney for help. A trial attorney with experience can help guide you through your city's court system.
For instance, some trials involve a detailed analysis of items of evidence. These should be carefully presented during trial, as they can often make or break the entire case. The presentation of evidence is key in any case, and is best handled by an accomplished trial attorney.
The expertise of a trial attorney is also needed for the creation and presentation of legal arguments for trial. Key elements of trial, like legal motions, cross-examination, and witness testimony can have far-reaching effects on the outcome of the trial. Furthermore, these parts of trial are tightly regulated by state and federal rules on ethics.
Finally, each trial involves a complex interaction between the circumstantial facts and state/federal laws. The task of a competent Christian trial attorney is to interpret the facts in light of the laws and prior cases. These types of skills take years of study and practice to master.
Therefore, whether your case involves real estate disputes, criminal violations, personal injury disputes, or any other type of claim, it's important that you and your trial attorney share the same perspective. This will definitely help to avoid future conflicts between you and your attorney, thereby allowing you to devote your attention to your trial.

A degree in Communication Studies (CMST) from Loyola Marymount University provides students with the opportunity to develop essential skills–Writing, Oral Communication, Critical Thinking, and Teamwork–that are in high demand in today's challenging and ever-changing world.
CMST students take a variety of courses that allow for both depth and breadth of study. We feature a rigorous Internship Practicum course for our juniors and seniors. CMST students often pursue minors in fields such as business, journalism, political science, or the arts to complement their CMST coursework.
With careful academic planning, CMST graduates are prepared for a variety of entry-level positions emphasizing both internal and external communication management across corporate, nonprofit, and/or public fields.
Below are a few of those fields:
Our graduates often successfully pursue additional education, including advanced degrees, in a variety of academic fields. These fields include:
(24 semester hours of lower division coursework)
Three of the following five (3 of 5) courses:

This is a sample schedule. The sequence of courses may vary slightly among students and students are expected to consult with their academic advisors each semester.
Students are required to take a total of 124 semester hours to complete their degree in Communication Studies. Because semester hours for courses may vary, students should work closely with their academic advisor to ensure that they take an average of 16 hours a semester across all semesters. In some semesters students may need to take an additional course or courses.
Students are required to take three (3) courses from the following list: CMST 2100 , CMST 2200 , CMST 2300 , CMST 2400 , or CMST 2500 .
