The original droid duo, R2-D2 and C-3PO have some competition from BB8 in the tattoo stakes. Having only just been introduced into the Star Wars franchise in 2015's The Force Awakens film, BB8 is fast-becoming a favourite droid of many.
Being constructed of metal, droid tattoos pose quite a challenge to even the most talented tattooer, but somehow they manage to take matte colours and make them appear metallic on the skin; the C-3PO tattoos are an excellent example of this.
This selection of 20 droid tattoos range from literal realism recreations to the down-right ridiculous, once again demonstrating how humour and wacky ideas translate to ink on skin.
If you like R2-D2, C-3PO, or BB8 and are a fan of body art, then these are the droid tattoos you're looking for…

Race Bites Another Republican Leader
July 2, 2009 by Gary Coats
Filed under News
Today, a candidate for the Chairman of the National Federation of Young Republicans, Audra Shay, had a Rusty DePass moment while commenting on Facebook. Last month, Rusty DePass made media headlines after he made racial comments on Facebook concerning Mrs. Obama and apes. Apparently, people do not learn from history.
An individual responding to her comment about Wal-Mart regarding unions and employee mandated healthcare made the following comment:
"…. obama is the new terrorist … muslim is on there side … need to take this country back from all these mad coons … and illegals"
Audra responds:
"You tell em Eric! lol"
We talked to our very own Joshua Gross, who is running for Southeast Regional Director for the National Federation what he thought about Audra's comments:
"We have to continue to stay vigilant to make sure that racism, in any form, does not find a home in the leadership of the Republican Party"
It appears next week is going to be a lot more interesting. Not only will the South Carolina delegation have to offer comments on Mark Sanford, we will probably be asked about Audra Shay as well. Be very careful with your choice of words.
The South Carolina Federation changed their endorsement to Rachel Hoff and the Next Level team during their state convention on May 31st.

Rap Land
From the Super Mario Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search
Retrieved from "https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Rap_Land&oldid=2393121"
Rap Land is a city from The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "Bad Rap."
Rap Land is built upon rap music, as most of the buildings resemble either stereos or speakers, which constantly play rap songs all day. The citizens of Rap Land are all rappers and live under the rule of King James. Two notable citizens of Rap Land are the Flab Boys.
When King Koopa came to Rap Land, he took on the alter-ego of "Rappin' Koopa", tied up King James, and took over his castle. Rappin' Koopa played a hypnotic theme on all the speakers throughout Rap Land, luring all of the citizens into a trance and told them to give him all their Gold Coins.
Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool and Toad met with the Flab Boys upon arriving in Rap Land and tried to figure a way to save King James and Rap Land from Rappin' Koopa. While Princess Toadstool managed to sneak Toad into the castle, she herself was captured by the Koopas and was taken hostage along with King James.
Toad managed to rescue them before they could get stabbed with a giant record needle, and they met up with Mario, Luigi and the Flab Boys in another part of Rap Land, away from the castle. It was there that King James pointed out Rap Land's power supply: a hydroelectric dam. After Mario unplugged the cord, he succeeded in putting an end to Rappin' Koopa's tyranny.
Mario then trounced the Rappin' Koopa troop in a rapping duel, forcing King Koopa to escape from the city through a Warp Zone. With everything back to normal, Rap Land celebrated the return of King James, while Mario and his friends danced to the Mario Rap.

Testing of hypothesis is widespread not only in statistics, but also in the natural and social sciences. When we do a hypothesis test, two types of errors are possible these errors are termed as experimental errors. They are Type-I or Type-II errors. It is important to understand both these effects in order to manage error and report it, for the right interpretation of conclusion from a experiment.
Decision made
Null Hypothesis is actually
Reject Null
Type I error
Correct rejection
Fail to reject Null
Correct decision
Type II error
Type I errors occurs when we reject a true null hypothesis –
The Type I error occurs when a the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected in favor of the research hypothesis (H1), when in reality the 'null' is correct. Type I errors are equivalent to false positives. For example, suppose there is a test that is used to detect a disease in a person. If a Type I error occurs in the test, it means that the test will say the person is suffering from that disease even though he is healthy. Type I errors can be controlled. The value of alpha, which is related to the level of significance that we selected has a direct bearing on type I errors. Alpha is the maximum probability that we have a type I error. For a 95% confidence level, the value of alpha is 0.05. This means that there is a 5% probability that we will reject a true null hypothesis.
Type II errors happen when we fail to reject a false null hypothesis –
Type II error occurs when we do not reject a null hypothesis that is false. It is equivalent to false negatives. From the above said example of a medical test for a disease, if a Type-II error occurs, then it means that the test will not detect the disease in the person even though he is actually suffering from it.The probability of a type II error is given by the Greek letter beta. This number is related to the power or sensitivity of the hypothesis test, denoted by 1 – beta.

It was a difficult job to fill, given the unpopularity of the war, now in its fifth year, and uncertainty about the clout the war coordinator would have. The search was complicated by demands from Congress to bring U.S. troops home from Iraq and scant public support for the war. The White House tried for weeks to fill the position and approached numerous candidates before settling on Lute.
Okay, folks. Can you see why al-Qaeda is so emboldened? The Congressional Democrats (along with their handmaidens, the leftist media) have so drowned out public opinion, our enemies get the impression we are all primed for dhimmitude. The very actions of Congress are endangering the Nation.

Citizens' CETA summit
After the CETA vote by EU Trade ministers has been postponed, European Stop TTIP and CETA campaigns organised the Citizens' CETA Summit on 20th of October, 2016 in Brussels. During this summit, international experts as well as local representatives expressed their opposition to CETA. Furthermore, a joint declaration was signed. It calls for governments, members of the European parliament and members of national parliaments to vote against CETA. The Fair Economy Alliance was also present – of course – to sign the declaration, discuss, network and exchange
Member of the European Parliament Ska Keller (Green Party), one of the organisers of the Citizen Summit, announced further opposition in the European Parliament which gets to vote once EU governments have signed the deal.
Ondernemers van nu brought the campaign caravan from Amsterdam – a great eye catcher and hive for interested visitors! Thanks to all for bringing info materials and engaging in discussions!
To conclude, the CETA signing summit has been cancelled for now, but a final decision is still pending.

Here are some hints which Bev from COAA listed on the Planeplotter forum for getting the best out of the Flight Deck View in the new version 5.5.5 of Planeplotter.
Bevs Text
There are a couple of useful hints and tips to pass on in relation to the Flight Deck View feature.
As already mentioned, the effective viewing height of a chart seen from the flight deck is very much less than the normal view that you would have in Chart View, which is more "ISS view" than "Bird´s eye view".
Accordingly, to avoid a very pixellated screen, charts used as the basis of the Flight Deck View should be created to cover a much smaller area than you would expect to employ for normal chart use.
The manipulation of the chart into the Flight Deck perspective is very processor intensive. If you find that selecting this view makes your machine run sluggishly, try using a smaller chart area. You can create smaller OSM maps and satellite images by reducing the overall size of the PlanePlotter main window before you generate the maps/images.
If you are interested in the Flight Deck View on approach and landing (my personal favourite), then unless the airport in question is close to sea-level, you will get the best results by setting the "QNH" value in Options..Chart..Options to the current QFE for the airport, so that the display height is above ground level and not altitude above the ISA datum. You will also need to ensure that the Transition Level in Options..Chart..Options is high enough for the pressure correction to be applied.

she can't wait to see her beautiful Ali*
this week is full of godly treats.

New York the next destination.
last time Ali came, everything completely changed.
God rearranged some spaces and dismantled disgraces.
God sparked the dark on imposters and their scandals.
God has made it clear who belongs in her space.
she sees she has to speak to be set free.
she sees she has to tell her two triple G's.
her triple G's: Elle* and Cole* are her sisters.
she lets go of all the shady fake unfolds.
God has the dishonest approaches and souls
that grew impatient and cold for shortcuts.
she sees her G's are sticking around faithfully.
she sees resenting Him for this testimony
is cold, not bold, and lonely in singular phony.
she sees she needs to be mature about that he.
she sees being angry is a wasteful wink and sink.
she sees hostility blinds her finds in rewind.
she sees she has to let go of what she knows
for God's story to unfold as His Behold Glory.

and whatever is next for this story.
she will bow and allow God to make the way
that's meant to stay for all her days here on Earth.
she's thankful for her tribe vibes
and to having amazing women in her circle.
she sees God sparked great light in this dark plight season.
she chooses to praise her King in the hallway
until He sees fit to open the next door by making a way.
she sees she chooses to kick the puddles
instead of rolling in the fumbles of her rumbles.
she sees she chooses to praise in the rain of this storm
to no longer be stronger in the throng of wrong,
or conform to habitual rituals by being reborn.
she's blessed to have God be her Transformer.
Love she.

Italian National Team Director Franco Ballerini is in Spain to observe the Italian riders at the Vuelta a España. Ballerini has six days to decide on the final line-up, before the announcement of Italy's World Championship team on Monday.
"Up until a week ago, I could not picture the national team. I am now starting to see it [come together] and I am getting a good feeling," he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
The 76th World Championships take place September 27 in Mendrisio, Switzerland. Italy starts as defending champion, having won the last three editions through Alessandro Ballan (2008) and Paolo Bettini (2007 and 2006).
Sunday's Giro della Romagna one-day race in Lugo, Italy, helped Ballerini to assess who might be the team's helpers. After the race, Ballerini heard the news of Damiano Cunego's stage win and Ivan Basso's strong ride in the Vuelta a España's eighth stage to Alto de Aitana. Watching yesterday's stage to Xorret del Catí on television he witnessed yet another strong performance by the duo.
"Valverde and Basso were the strongest. Cunego? He's going well," said Ballerini.
Cunego finished second behind Ballan at last year's Worlds in Varese, Italy. He will be the Italian favourite this year as the Mendrisio course features more climbing than last year's race. The Swiss parcours will take in 4655 metres of ascent, compared to the 3255 metres a year earlier in Italy.
Cunego (Lampre-NGC), Ballan (Lampre-NGC), Basso (Liquigas) and Filippo Pozzato (Katusha) should lead the team. Acqua & Sapone riders, Stefano Garzelli and Luca Paolini, will likely be second tier leaders and helpers.
Marzio Bruseghin (Lampre-NGC) and Michele Scarponi (Serramenti PVC Diquigiovanni-Androni Giocattoli), according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, should be named as the team's domestiques. Giovanni Visconti (ISD-Neri), winner of the GP Agostoni and GP Melinda, could be a rider for early escapes, and, according to La Gazzetta, should fill the team's ninth spot.
This year's circuit in Mendrisio is shorter than last year's 17.35-kilometre circuit. It has two climbs, Acqua Fresca and Novazzano, in 13.8 kilometres, repeated 19 times at 262.2 kilometres.
Mendrisio last hosted the Worlds in 1971, when Belgium's Eddy Merckx beat Italy's Felice Gimondi.

Atle Skaardal sharing thoughts on recent topics
In his position as the ladies' Chief Race Director, Atle Skaardal is constantly reevaluating the ladies' World Cup Tour and pushing for the best possible events in winter. At the spring meetings in Portoroz, he took a step back, reflected on the situation and shared his toughts on different hot topics.
Last season was very intense for the ladies' World Cup, what marked the Tour the most in your opinion?
The World Ski Championships were clearly the highlight of last season and we have to acknowledge the great job St. Moritz did. We knew there would be some challenges, but the Organizing Committee had a solution to every issue. For example, as we had some difficult weather conditions at the beginning, the well-organized crew could react very quickly and allowed us to hold amazing races with a great atmosphere. I think the Championships ended up being a big success.
How was your experience at the test event in Jeongseon, one year before the Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018?
We were really happy with the test event this year. Of course, we were lucky because the weather was beautiful there, but I am confident that the crew would also be able to face tougher conditions. Our technical experts have been working together with the organizing committee in Korea for quite a long time now and will keep up the good work until Games' time. This is an essential help for us. With all that in mind, I think we will experience great Olympic Winter Games next season, even though there is still some work to do.
At the meetings in Portoroz, you added Kronplatz in the calendar. So the ladies' Tour will go back to the South Tyrolean venue after its Premiere last season. It's the same for Killington. Do these new organizers bring something fresh to the World Cup Tour?
Yes, I am convinced that it's a very positive addition to the World Cup Tour. Team members, athletes, coaches, everyone was really excited about the new venues last year. Kronplatz is probably an example of how fast it can work out for an organizer, if they really produce something unique, something exceptional. Kronplatz and Killington did this last year, so they got another shot for next season. I am really happy about that.
With Mikaela Shiffrin, the ladies' Tour had a new Overall World Cup winner last season. Who else do you think can win the Overall, and how is the balance speed/tech evolving on the ladies' Tour?
We have some really great stars on the ladies' side, with many athletes being able to win the Overall. I think it will be a little bit the same than in the past, with Shiffrin and Vonn, our two US super stars, fighting for the Overall. Maybe Lara Gut can come back in a good shape after her injury and hopefully be a factor in this fight. Ilka Stuhec and Sofia Goggia are also on the short list, especially as they excel in various disciplines. I think right now, you need three strong disciplines to be in the fight for the Overall. Maybe Tina Weirather, Federica Brignone or some Swiss girls can also make that step and ski fast in a third discipline, so they could be recognized as Overall athletes. So we'll see, but I hope we'll have a good open fight all the way until the World Cup Finals in Are.
Lindsey Vonn is talking about racing with the men and this topic has been discussed in different committees. What's your opinion on this, is it possible or not?
It will be a very difficult challenge to find a reasonable way of doing this. Because one point that everyone is underestimating, is that we need to have equal rights for everyone. So if the ladies' are allowed to race with the men, then also the men need to be authorized to ski with the ladies. And I'm not sure this is a direction we want to go. I see it as a very difficult topic. But we have talked about it here in the meetings and I'm confident that everyone will think this through during the summer and then we'll see if the US Ski Association brings a concrete proposal of how this is supposed to be done to fit into the rules to the meetings in Zurich.

A proposed bill that has been passed in the Iowa House of Representatives will require judges to grant shared custody to parents going through divorce proceedings unless the court finds it is in the best interest of the child. The bill's proponents argues that the bill is a much needed update to out-of-date laws that don't place mothers and fathers on equal footing in divorce and custody proceedings. If passed, the new law would represent a substantial modification to initial custody cases.
Iowa, like Pennsylvania, currently begins child custody cases with an analysis of the child's best interests. This is to be distinguished from the proposed Iowa law that would only address the child's best interests after the mandatory presumption that the child should spend equal time with each parent. Iowa's "joint physical custody" is the equivalent of Pennsylvania's "shared physical custody", with both terms indicating that the parents share a 50/50 split in terms of time spent with their child or children.
Currently in Iowa as well as Pennsylvania and several other states, a judge has the authority to grant shared physical custody as well as shared legal custody after an analysis of the child's best interests. By effectively changing the burden of proof, the proposed Iowa law elevates this new factor of placing parents in equal positions over the best interest standard.
In Pennsylvania, after an initial complaint for custody, the number one factor is always the best interest standard. The court has the authority to grant primary, shared, or partial custody including visitation and/or supervised visitation to any parent or person with custody rights to a child based on this analysis. Neither parent's case begins with a presumption that both parents should be considered equal in this regard. In determining a child's best interest, Pennsylvania Court's considers the following:
- Which party is more likely to encourage and permit frequent and continuing contact between the child and another party?
- Present and past abuse committed by a party or member of the party's household, whether there is a continued risk of harm to the child or an abused party and which party can better provide adequate physical safeguards and supervision of the child.
- The need for stability and continuity in the child's education, family life and community life.
- The availability of extended family, and the child's sibling relationship.
- The well-reasoned preference of the child, based on the child's maturity and judgment.
These factors, as well as others considered by the courts all relate to the determination of what custody award is in the child's best interest. If you have questions about the child custody factors and/or have questions about filing for custody, call our office today!

I spent the last week photographing in one of my favourite places, Algonquin Provincial Park. Being in "The Park" is like being home. The presence of nature all around you is both beautiful and energizing. There is no shortage of photographic opportunities in Algonquin.
One such opportunity of course is the moose. You don't have to know any secret places to find them, you just have to drive up and down highway 60 and you'll see them at some point. When you do you'll also witness brake lights, cars as far as the eye can see and no shortage of people jumping out of there vehicles to see and photograph the moose.
Everyone can enjoy this experience but some cautions need to be taken. Respect must be given. We are talking about wild animals here and some guidelines should be followed for everyone's safety, yours and the moose:
- Be careful while driving and if you need to pull over, signal first, pull over slowly and make sure you're all the way off the road.
- Look both ways before you cross the street. (You may have heard this one somewhere before)
- Be watchful for moose (and bear, deer, foxes, wolves and other animals) that may be crossing the road, especially at dusk and dawn.
- Always observe animals from a safe distance. These are wild animals. This is not a zoo.
- If you wish to take photos, use your zoom or telephoto lens. Shooting with an iPad does not excuse from point #4.
- If the animal huffs, grunts, snorts, swings it's head side to side or charges, you are too close! See point #4.
- This is not a petting zoo. See point #4.
- Keep your children close to you and in your control.
- Never harass an animal.
- Remember that you are in the animal's back yard, not yours. Be respectful.
By remaining respectful and following these common sense guidelines we can all enjoy our parks for many years to come.
Please share this post where you feel it's appropriate and thanks for reading!

Re: Riverbed QoSmichel boulay Aug 12, 2016 5:48 AM (in response to Hemant Sharma)
It's important because as riverbed optimise traffic it can mask traffic to your routers if you use GRE encapsulation or correct adressing for exemple, so router QoS will not apply.
Second point it's really easier to manage QoS on SH as you can apply it for groups of applications. I have 20 QoS rules for my whole network (130 sites and near 700 apps) and i should use less than this. So you can deploy QoS change in few clicks to your whole network.
So just setup QoS transparancy based on DSCP tag on your routers to enforse QoS through your whole network I do this and it works fine. (warning if you use RIOS 9.2 because of a bug, wil lbe fixed in 9.2.1 next week with luck
Re: Riverbed QoSGuillaume 74 Aug 22, 2016 12:51 AM (in response to michel boulay)
Hi Michel
could you please tell me more about this bug ?
Re: Riverbed QoSmichel boulay Aug 31, 2016 1:06 AM (in response to Guillaume 74)
solved in 9.2.1 (tested)
Re: Riverbed QoSGuillaume 74 Aug 31, 2016 1:12 AM (in response to michel boulay)
Hi Michel
could you please tell me more about this bug. what was the issue; thanks
Re: Riverbed QoSmichel boulay Aug 31, 2016 2:36 AM (in response to Guillaume 74)
Hello Guillaume,
Of course.
In fact the topology of site was corrupted between different SH models. For exemple SH770 saw only topology with SH770 and loss the uplinks to other models as SH3070 or SH7070. So no QoS between different models as uplinks was lost, bandwidth was lost too...
Ok Qos worked based on the local interface speed of course but didn't take in account the bandwidth of the remote SH. So if you push 10Mb/s to a remote link of 1Mb/s you drop lot of packets and loss efficiency...
Re: Riverbed QoSGuillaume 74 Aug 31, 2016 3:46 AM (in response to michel boulay)
ok many thanks. I didn't notice it unless I have differents models (all running 9.2). Or maybe on one site where they are complaining. I will check
for the moment I can't upgrade to 9.2.1, right after upgrading the SCC to 9.2.1 I had permissions trouble and I couldn't push policy or change site settings anymore. So I reverted back the SCC to 9.2 and stay at the same level for the SH
Re: Riverbed QoSmichel boulay Sep 1, 2016 12:44 AM (in response to Guillaume 74)
I encountered no issue on 9.2.1 RiOs nor SCC.
To solve the bug i talked about you just need to upgrade SCC.
My best regards

Hardshell Backpack
A hardshell backpack is the Fort Knox of backpack style laptop carriers. With a molded polycarbonate hardshell, your laptop is safe well beyond the ordinary bumps and bruises of commuter travel and everyday use as these are designed to protect your machine even if you should wipe out and hit the pavement.
However, with that level of protection comes a bit of weight (5 lbs., 4 oz for this model, the Urban hardshell by Axio, plus the weight of the laptop too) meaning this could get hot and heavy. MSRP: $199.
- external dimensions: 18.5"H x 13.5"W x 9"D
- fleece lined padded laptop compartment
- large external back zipper pocket for easy access
- holds up to a 17" MacBook Pro or 15" notebooks
- dual zone compartments with 4-panel organizers
Messenger Bags
For many people, a plain old shoulder-carried messenger bag will do the trick, especially if your laptop is relatively lightweight and you're not carrying tons of other stuff. For extra protection, you can wrap the computer in a padded neoprene sleeve, which will also help keep it dry.
Wear the bag low across the bottom of your back, so it rides steady and is not shifting around. You don't want it so high that you're top heavy and if you carry it on the side you may feel unbalanced, in addition to having it hitting your knees when you pedal. Lengthen the strap until it is long enough that you can wear it across your chest, i.e., over one shoulder and down under the other arm. Just draped over one shoulder is not enough to keep it on.
Softsided Backpack
Another less expensive option is a soft-sided backpack. The model shown, the Mobile Express Edge backpack is a more reasonably priced pack ($59.95 MSRP), which holds 15" and 15.4" laptops. With soft sides, its biggest protection for your machine is in its padding, and you can add a neoprene sleeve to your machine for additional cushion as desired.
- interior pockets for CDs, PDA and files
- fits in overhead bins or under seats
- media pocket for MP3/CD player w/headphone port
- Cool-Mesh™ ventilated back panel
- Heavy-Duty Duraflex™ fittings
- lifetime warranty
- exterior dimensions: 20 x 8.5 x 16 (inches)
- interior dimensions: 13.2 x 1.9 x 11.7 (inches)
Laptop Specific Panniers
Rather than toting laptops in backpacks, many bike commuters use panniers -- packs mounted over the wheels that take the weight off you. Designed specifically for carrying computers, the Arkel Commuter Pannier shown has a suspended internal pouch to keep your laptop protected and safe. Somebody I know who uses this said, "It's not cheap, but is one of the best purchases I've make for bike commuting."
With room for shoes, lunch and a change of clothes, this pannier makes your bike commute a breeze.
- suspended, padded internal pouch keeps your laptop safe
- dimensions: 17.5 x 11.5 x 8 in.
- weight: 1.17 kg/2.6 lbs.
- water resistant zippers on the three outside pockets
- padded shoulder strap for carrying off the bike
- optional rain cover
- $169
Bike-Specific Carriers
If you've got a bike designed for urban/commuter riding, you'll likely be able to find accessories from the manufacturer made specifically for your bike. For instance, Breezer Bikes have a line of racks, bags and carriers to go with their line of commuter bikes to make the ride to work or school fun and easy. Their Biz Pannier shown here is a business briefcase with laptop sleeve. It has a slick, zip-off suspension system and three point mounting system to keep the bag (and your computer) safely attached to your bike. No bouncing off when you hit those big bumps.
06Tip: Reduce Weight, Protect Against Moisture
Finally, when you're looking to haul your laptop, the two biggest things to protect against are moisture and shock. While all options presented modify these to some extent, and a fairly reliable and inexpensive solution is to wrap your laptop in a neoprene sleeve for an extra layer of protection before you tuck it in your carrier, whether that is a backpack, pannier, messenger bag, whatever.
To reduce weight that you're hauling, also consider if you can keep multiple accessories (power cords, etc.) at each location if possible so that you're not toting them back and forth.
Laptop Love - Bags, Packs and Racks For Carrying Your Laptop Computer
Top Choices For Carrying Your Laptop Computer On Your Bike
Given the number of jobs that have you tapping away at least part of your day on a laptop computer, if you're a bike commuter, you'll probably have to carry a laptop between home and work, maybe occasionally, maybe every day.
So what's the best way to do this? You want to protect the machine, but not add unnecessary weight. Fortunately there are a number of different laptop bags you can buy that are designed to look good and work well, and in a variety of prices, depending on your budget and your tastes.

School Growth Plans form part of a provincial accountability framework to improve and strengthen student learning. The School Act requires the school principal to prepare and submit the plan for the Board of Education's approval.
Over the past several years, Coast Mountains School District has participated in the Networks of Inquiry and Innovation (NOII) and the Aboriginal Enhancement Schools Network (AESN) through the teachings of Drs. Judy Halbert and Linda Kaser. Schools have participated in the NOII and AESN on a voluntary and annual basis. The Spiral of Inquiry process provides school teams with the structure for guiding their improvement and innovation work. Participating schools develop a question to address through their inquiry, collaborate with colleagues through regional meetings, and share case studies in a spirit of generosity and curiosity. AESN schools link their inquiry specifically to Aboriginal ways of knowing.
Based on the value of the Spiral of Inquiry process for the learning of our students, the 2017-2018 School Growth Plans for Coast Mountains' schools were developed utilizing the school's inquiry. The plan template follows the Spiral of Inquiry process which has six key stages: scanning, focusing, developing a hunch, new professional learning, taking action and checking that a big enough difference has been made. At each stage in the spiral, three questions are asked:
What is going on for our learners?
How do we know?
Why does this matter?
Please reference the following summary of the 2017-2018 School Growth Plans inquiry questions by accessing the following link:

ENTREPRENEUR AND founder of popular celebrity gossip blog Necole Bitchie has opened up on her decision to quit the brand that made her a household name and launch powerful empowerment brand, xoNecole.
"My overall goal in life has always been to be a source of inspiration for young women and I was having a hard time creating that legacy for myself with the platform that I had built," Necole Kane wrote in an open letter.
"How could I continue to think that I was in some way adding value to the lives of my readers when my site posted about drama, celebrity beefs, divorces, break babies, fights and negativity on the regular?
Although the site, which she built for eight years, allowed her to "make tons of money, work from my bed, travel the world, win numerous awards, be featured in various magazines, visit The White House, go on a tour with Rihanna and be in rooms with the likes of Oprah, Ariana Huffington, and even Beyonce", Necole knew she had to move onto pastures new.
"I wanted my site to be the nutrients, not the junk food," she said.
Though she struggled in the initial stages with paying staff and getting advertisers on board, xoNecole is now at the forefront of female empowerment.
"Without risks there are no rewards," she added.

BEAVER CREEK, Colo. — A remarkable final run slid Ted Ligety right into the record books Friday.
The American skier stormed back from a first-run deficit to become the first man to win three straight giant slalom titles at the Alpine World Championships.
Behind Marcel Hirscher of Austria by 0.24 seconds after the morning run, Ligety found speed down the course where others couldn't and finished in an unofficial time of 2 minutes 34.16 seconds. Hirscher was second, 0.45 seconds behind, and Alexis Pinturault of France earned the bronze.
''To be able to come through and pull it off is awesome,'' said the 30-year-old Ligety, who is from Park City, Utah.
It was the first gold medal of these championships for the Americans. Ligety also won the 2011 world GS title in Germany and again two years ago in Austria, which was part of a three-gold-medal performance.
The fifth racer out of the gate in the final run, Ligety didn't make a single mistake on a course he knows so well. He pumped his fists again and again, knowing his time was going to be difficult to beat.
The last competitor of the afternoon, Hirscher, presented the biggest threat. But he steadily lost time throughout the course and couldn't catch Ligety.
With his win secure, Ligety tossed a ski high into the air as the fans screamed.
''My run was good; Ted's run was outstanding,'' said Hirscher, who has captured a gold medal in both the Alpine combined and team event at Beaver Creek.
This is why skiers on the World Cup circuit refer to Ligety as ''Mr. GS.'' He now has seven podium finishes at Worlds, surpassing Lindsey Vonn as the American skier with the most individual medals.
''Ted was, today, in his own league,'' said Germany's Felix Neureuther, who finished fourth, 1.10 seconds behind Ligety. ''He's amazing.''
Especially on this hill, where he's won five World Cup races, including in December. The podium that day was Ligety, Pinturault, and Hirscher.
''I love racing in the US,'' Ligety said. ''Just having that extra comfort level, being closer to home, with friends and family, is huge.''

Anyone who knows me knows I'm passionate about capturing the world up-close, particularly flowers. You probably figured that out if you spent even five minutes on my website. Occasionally, however, I am overcome with the beauty of the landscapes at the Chicago Botanic Garden and I can't help myself. I have to capture the magic and make sure to pack my wide angle lens in my camera bag. This time in spring is one such time. The week when the hundreds of crabapples circling the Great Basin come into bloom in shades of pink, red and white is one of the most magical of weeks at the Garden. Walking through the entire Garden, especially circling the Great Basin brings magnificent views upon every turn.
The most magical view for me is the Lakeside Garden path; the arching crabapples make me feel like I have entered a magical fairyland. I always try to imagine how I would have loved it as a child.
This pot of glowing orange azeleas among the colorful crabapples is seen from the Enabling Garden terrace. This was one of my favorite views this past week.
What a beautiful place to sit and soak up the beauty of the Garden in spring! The smell is divine!
The tulips have since faded but this was the view of the Crescent Garden in previous weeks. How quickly spring has progressed. I can't believe there are only a few late-blooming tulip varieties left.
A walk to the Japanese Gardens is a must. The azaleas are in bloom right now and they are always a beautiful sight.
Another beautiful view with one of my favorite crabapples is in the Bulb Garden. It reminds me of a tree I often climbed in as a child, daydreaming for hours at a time and even bringing my lunch there and imaging it was my home, my kingdom. When it was fully leafed out no one could see me in the tree so I imaged it my secret hiding place. Of course, I'm sure the fact that my bicycle was on the ground beneath the tree gave my secret away. My love of nature has deep roots in my childhood, growing up in a small town surrounded by beautiful natural places to explore. I treasure that I had a lot of unstructured time to explore the world around me. I worry that children today aren't given enough time to daydream, to explore, to create. We all need to slow down and nurture those moments.
This is just a small sampling of the many beautiful views at the Garden in May. Soak it in because in a couple weeks the spring gardens will be pulled out to make way for the summer gardens. And don't forget that Butterflies and Blooms opens on May 28th. I'm excited to be back photographing the butterflies!

Heavy-duty 2" Levy's polyester guitar strap features classic image; easy, stable tri-glide adjuster; and durable leather ends. Adjustable from 43" to 54".
In Stock & Ready To Shipin_stock
Reviewed by 5 customers
Comments about Levy's Wild Skulls Guitar Strap:
I heard Levy's were a good quality brand, and I trusted that. I bought it and tried it out on my Dean MLX, and it really helped me play while standing up. It gets the job done really well, it looks great with the skull design, and its awesome quality! Definitely recommended with any guitar!
Comments about Levy's Wild Skulls Guitar Strap:
I bought a strap like this, but in a different print to use with my electric guitar. It looks cool, and it holds the guitar up without being too uncomfortable.
Comments about Levy's Wild Skulls Guitar Strap:
VERY comfortable strap! The images are sharp and detailed...and stay that way. I have a larger, more expensive strap, but I MUCH prefer this one! Conforms mush better than stiffer straps which spreads the weight evenly on your shoulder. No thick seams either, nothing to "dig in" on your shoulder. Very soft and supple, it just becomes a part of you! Top quality product!

What are the benefits of waist training - how does it work?
Waist training uses firm compression to slim your midsection. Many garments are also designed to increase thermal activity for added perspiration around your core, reducing water retention, particularly if you waist train while working out. You will look slimmer instantly by putting your trainer on. For many women, it's an instant confidence boost, as it accentuates your natural curves and makes it easier to achieve an hourglass figure. How dramatic your results are depends on your fitness routine, how frequently you do it, your body type and your lifestyle. And don't forget, wearing a waist trainer also helps you maintain good posture, making you look taller and leaner.
When/how often should I wear my waist trainer?
Wear your waist trainer daily, eight hours a day, for best results. If you are new to the practice, start out with just a few hours at a time and gradually increase your wear as you become more comfortable. Fitness-focused waist trainers or exercise bands are designed to be worn while working out to ramp up perspiration.
What's the difference between the waist training options and how do I decide what?s right for me?
There are 3 primary waist trainer options:
All three options provide slimming
and shaping of the waistline:
A cincher is a band that wraps around your waist to create a slimmer midsection. It can be worn daily or for special occasions. It is made from materials like latex, cotton and spandex. Cinchers made of latex are ideal for everyday waist training since they will increase perspiration slowly throughout the day. Many are designed to be concealed under clothing.
A traditional tight-lacing corset is used to create more dramatic curves. It contains vertical columns of steel boning and a lace-up back that canv be tightened for a moderate to extreme slimming. It is made out of nylon, spandex and cotton. Certain corsets are ideal for costuming, lingerie and fashion outerwear; they are sometimes more difficult to hide under clothing.
A workout band is designed specifically for use during exercise. Workout bands usually contain a latex core and are designed to increase perspiration more than a cincher, so you can maximize your fitness routines. Some women only waist train during exercise with a workout band. Others wear a cincher during the day and a workout band during exercise.
To help decide what's best for you, ask yourself
the following questions:
How frequently, how long and when do I want to wear it?
A cincher can be worn comfortably everyday or for special occasions (1-8 hours daily).
A tight-lacing corset is less comfortable and is best worn occasionally for special events (30 min-2 hours).
A workout band is worn while exercising (30 min-2 hours).
How dramatic do I want my results to be and how comfortable do I want to be?
A cincher will provide great results with surprising comfort.
A tight-lacing corset will provide extreme results with less comfort.
A workout band will provide more results than a cincher while being moderately comfortable.
As always, we?re here to assist you in your waist training journey.
Is it safe/healthy to use these products? Are there limitations I should know about?
Most women will have no problems using waist trainers, especially when they're sized right, but it's important to listen to your body's cues. If you ever feel pain or have difficulty breathing, remove the garment immediately. If you're working out, be sure to drink a lot of water. Consider eating small, nutritious meals, rather than only a few large meals throughout the day. If in doubt, seek advice from a medical professional.
How do I try it on to verify it fits when I first receive it?
Wear a tank underneath and gently fasten your waist trainer. The product is designed for strong compression so you may find that it is not easy to fasten it at first. Start at the bottom of the garment and work your way up. If you have a corset, the laces should be loose so that you don't have to work the clasps too hard in the front. Garments should fit snuggly but not pinch or ride up. Put on your favorite outfit to see your new curves!

16th ANNUAL EARLY HEARING DETECTION & INTERVENTION MEETING
February 26-28, 2017 • Atlanta, GA
2/26/2017 | 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM | Demonstrating Key Steps in Achieving Literacy | Hanover C
Demonstrating Key Steps in Achieving Literacy
The first five to seven years in a child's life is the optimum period for language acquisition and development. Parents/care providers are the best suited to promote and guide their children's acquisition of language, being the ones that their children interact with the most. However, parents and caregivers often have their plate full, balancing responsibilities such as work, child care and other duties. They are often hard pressed to find time to ensure that their deaf or hard of hearing children is acquiring language at an age-appropriate rate. This workshop will provide simple and demonstrative ways for early intervention professionals to show parents and caregivers ways and specific strategies to stimulate their child's language acquisition with the child's deaf and hard of hearing identity foremost in mind. Parents and caregivers will learn how to apply these methods at various times, such as during mealtimes and going out to the grocery store. Resources and tips are gathered from actual parents of deaf children, along with research-based information on incorporating language development in your child's life on a regular basis. The presenter will also show how parents and caregivers can establish communication plans for relatives. Due to being an instructional session, hands-on activities, videos, and discussion will also be provided to ensure every concept is clear and take-home. Early intervention professionals and family members will enjoy this visual presentation with information they can use right away.
- Demonstrate family-friendly methods to effectively stimulate their children's language acquisition using a variety of methods
- Be able to detail resources available to enhance language acquisition
- Be able to list research-based strategies to incorporate language-related activities throughout the day

(WellnessNova.com) - The lemon is one powerful fruit. Sure it is tasty splashed on a meal, but this fragrant fruit can serve a multitude of other uses in your home outside of cooking – and it always smells fantastic! Lemon can be used as an inexpensive, natural household helper as well as contribute to vibrant health and wellbeing. Explore the many ways the freshness of lemon can be incorporated into your daily life.
1. Neutralize Odours
Lemon juice is excellent in neutralizing a multitude of odours around your home. Eliminate refrigerator odours by soaking a sponge in lemon juice and let it sit for several hours. The sponge can easily be rinsed out and the process repeated for stronger smells. Forget the chemicals when needing to freshen up the garbage disposal. Make a point of throwing lemon scraps in regularly (oranges and limes are also extremely beneficial) making sure to include the peels to release the citrus fragrance.
If you want to add a fresh scent to your entire home, add cut lemons to water and slowly simmer on the stove for several hours making sure to check regularly. The fresh smell will permeate your home. And if you have any wooden kitchen items like cutting boards, bowls or utensils which are still retaining strong smells like onions, fish or garlic, rub them with fresh lemon to eliminate the odour allowing the juice to sit for some time. Make sure to wash thoroughly with soap and water after.
If your humidifier isn't completely doing the trick diffusing strong odours, add a couple teaspoons of lemon juice to the water for more freshness in the room. Want to add a fresh scent to a cozy fire and your house? Toss a few dry lemon peels into your fireplace. The combination of lemon and burning wood will smell wonderful. And if your cat's litter box is creating a noticeable odour, place a couple lemons, cut side up, in the room near it. This will cut down on the nearby smell. If your microwave has smells that linger, cut a lemon in half and put in a microwave-safe dish filled with a cup of water and microwave for 30 seconds. This will neutralize your microwave making it smell fresh.
2. Buff and Polish Surfaces
Mineral deposits and soap scum can be found on several surfaces around our homes. Rub a cut lemon directly over chrome surfaces like taps and faucets to eliminate mineral deposits and soap scum bringing the surfaces back to a shine. You can also squeeze the lemon juice in a container beforehand if you prefer, mixing it with a bit of water before applying. Make sure to rinse thoroughly after to remove any stickiness and buff with a cloth.
3. Keep Your Kitchen Insect-free
Keep those harsh chemical bug sprays and traps out of your kitchen – especially if you have pets and young children in your home who are most likely going to be curious and want to investigate on or near the floor. Squeeze a bit of lemon juice around the spots where ants and other bugs are getting into your house like door, floor and window cracks. Place small pieces of lemon rind around the outside entrance as well.
Having a problem with fleas or roaches? Squeeze the juice of 2 lemons into a bucket of warm water and clean your kitchen tile floors with it. The bugs will be repelled by the smell and your house will not only smell fresh and clean, your floors will be safe for crawling children and curious pets.
4. Brighten Your Laundry Delicates
Substitute the strong chlorine bleach scent with lemons! It is much milder with a fresh scent that is equally effective. Soak delicate fabrics in lemon water and baking soda for a half hour to a full hour before washing. Another bonus of making the switch? Save yourself from those bleach stains ruining your darker laundry when drops of bleach accidentally don't make it into your washing machine!
5. Preserve Food Longer
Lemon tastes fantastic in food and when used to enhance the flavour but it is also valuable in helping food stay fresh longer. The citric acid in lemons will help keep your foods from browning. Sprinkle a splash on guacamole to help it maintain its green hue and sliced apples to keep them fresh and white. Before you cook cauliflower, sprinkle lemon juice on to maintain its white colouring. Lemon juice can also help revive soggy lettuce leaves. Add the juice of half a lemon to a container of cold water (or in your sink) and add the leaves. In about an hour they should be revived and crispy again. Make sure to dry properly before eating!
6. Quick Salad Dressing & Vegetable Topping
One of the simplest salad dressings can be created with the juice of one lemon, a dollop of Dijon mustard and a splash of olive oil. If you find your creation too tart, add more olive oil until you achieve the perfect flavour for your taste buds. To add a bit more kick, add a finely chopped shallot to the mix. Not only is this delicious on salads, but is also excellent as a sauce on simple steamed vegetables like broccoli and carrots or simmered vegetables like asparagus, potatoes or Brussel sprouts.
7. Morning Wake Up Drink
Adding lemon to warm water is a morning routine that can provide a multitude of benefits. The citric acid can help with digestion while providing hydrating electrolytes through magnesium, potassium and calcium. It will also help your body maintain a higher pH level boosting your immune system and helping stave off illness and disease.
8. Soothe A Sore Throat
Lemon in hot tea or water is excellent for soothing a sore throat. Its antibacterial properties are also excellent if you find yourself developing a throat infection or have tonsil inflammation. Gargling with warm water and lemon can be beneficial (make sure it is not too hot) due to its anti-inflammatory factors.
9. Fingernail Help
If you've ever found your fingernails getting yellow or darkening due to overuse of dark nail polishes, soaking them in lemon juice might help! To whiten and clean your fingernails, mix the juice of half a lemon with a cup of warm water and soak your fingertips for 10 minutes. The acid in the lemon can help lighten nail beds. Make sure the water is warm and not too hot to protect your beautiful hands. Manicure as you would normally. Make sure your fingers have no cuts if soaking in the lemon juice because the sting could prove painful. If you do have any cuts, wait until they have healed.
As you can see, the mighty lemon is not only a delicious and nutritious fruit in your kitchen. It provides safe, inexpensive environmentally friendly help around your entire home! Experiment with its many uses and enjoy the fresh scent in all the rooms of your house.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Brookfield District Curriculum
The curriculum emphasizes clear expectations for all students, a focus on critical thinking, and a focus on real-world applications of learning. In humanities classes, students begin with basic concepts like grammar rules and comprehension and later focus on critical reading of complex nonfiction pieces and critical thinking skills and learn how to research topics and use evidence to support their theses. They are taught how to edit and revise their work and ways to create final presentations.
In mathematics and science classes, the focus is on key concepts and real-world applications of lessons such as motion and forces and carrying out investigations and investigating engineering problems. Though students are supported, they are also held to high standards which stress character development, learning accountability, demonstrating integrity, learning the importance of ethical citizenship, displaying respectful relationships, and exhibiting positive leadership and collaboration skills.
Testimonials and Case Studies from Our Parents
SchoolTutoring Academy has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was very self-conscious about her difficulties with the math section of the SAT. SchoolTutoring Academy's Academic Directors created an action plan that boosted my daughter's score and confidence level.
SchoolTutoring Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades. Test Prep Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades.
SchoolTutoring Academy Increased My SAT Score By 200 Points
My son's math marks in high school have always been weak so I found it very beneficial that his ACT tutor worked on solidifying his fundamentals while prepping for the ACT.
SchoolTutoring Academy gave my daughter the confidence she needed to boost her SAT score Thank you!
SchoolTutoring has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was able to improve her test scores after a few months of tutoring with SchoolTutoring. However, while raising test scores is great, the real payoff is in the self-confidence that she gained.
I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank-you! My son is very impressed with his tutor and looks forward to each session. What's particularly amazing about this is our son has never really looked forward to math or school for that matter!
We are so happy with the results of your tutoring program and academic support. Homework time was such a stressful evening for the entire evening before we brought your tutors into our home. Thank you for all your help!
Our daughter, a first grader, struggled with basic reading and handwriting. When she began with SchoolTutoring she was almost a year behind her class. Within a year of being enrolled, she is reading above her grade level and has the confidence to match.

Chalk Talk: AP Exams
Advanced Placement (AP) exams are given to students who've completed an AP class. These are college-level classes offered in high school. Most college are looking for a score of a 4 or 5 on an AP, which is the highest possible score. If a student scores a 3 or higher on 3 different APs, s/he becomes an AP scholar, which may impress a college. The reason students take AP exams is that some colleges will give credit for them so that students don't have to take that class in college. Not every college gives credit, and some will simply move the student into a higher level class. But for colleges that do, students might be able to enter college with some credits already under their belts.

I've had a millionaire's first love on my list of movies to watch for some time now and after so long I finally got around to watching this movie and without a doubt I don't regret it at all.
Kang Jae-kyung is your typical spoiled rich kid; he's arrogant, drives sporty cars, attends the big clubs, rides through school corridors on his motorcycle and – wait, that's not typical at all is it? As his 18th birthday approaches he's set to inherit his grandfather's fortune, but that comes with a price. Jae-kyung is going to have to earn his fortune. His grandfather lays down an ultimatum; Jae-kyung is required to transfer to a new school in Gangwondo and graduate. Until then all access to his penthouse, cottage and credit cards is denied. Should he fail to graduate or drop out then he loses everything. With little choice he heads out to the countryside and a small town in which daily life is far removed from what he's used to.
Shortly after settling into his new home he meets 19 year-old Choi Eun-whan, who just happened to run into him back in Seoul. They don't exactly hit it off; he's far too stubborn and cool for school, while she sees hope for him and sets out to make him see it for himself. As they eventually draw closer, thanks to a set of coincidences and school projects they learn more about one another, but soon a shattering revelation will change these people forever.
