The evolution of senescence in birds: evidence from animals in zoos
Journal of Ornithology, 147:Suppl. 1, 246 (2006)
Birds are characterized by a low rate of senescence relative to mammals. However, there is considerable variation in the patterns of senescence and other life history traits among different orders. We used life history data from bird species kept in zoos, where a great number of individuals are followed from birth until death. In a comparative approach we explored the variation of senescence and other life history traits on various phylogenetic levels to investigate the evolutionary plasticity of senescence. We found that the rate of senescence among birds shows largest variation among genera within families. Moreover we found that the patterns of senescence differ between phylogenetic orders, implying that different mechanisms influence the evolution of senescence: avian orders that are not dependent on flight (Struthioniformes, Galliformes) tend to have patterns of senescence that are reminiscent of non-flying mammals. These finding have important implications for our understanding of the mechanisms and the evolution of senescence.

Let me tell you a tale of how my husband is extremely evil. He purposefully and without remorse got the following song, one of the world's most beautiful songs except for the parody lyrics acted out in the video below, stuck in my head, and reinforced it there over the course of several days. By then, the damage was done, and I've had this song in my head consistently for more than 48 hours. Its still there right now, in fact. Evil husband!
Anyway, when things like this happen to me I wouldn't feel right unless I passed it along to everyone on the internet. The song, from the middle ages, is called "O Fortuna," but the misheard title is "Gopher Tuna." Get ready to have a good time, but don't come to me when you're still singing it under your breath while running errands next week:
Now that your life has been infinitely enriched by Gopher Tuna, let me turn to the next strange thing: an Android app called "Add a Cat." Basically, you take photos you've taken with your phone, upload them into Add a Cat, and ... add cats to the picture. Like so:
Behold, for the cat floating in the upper right of the frame is smoking a cigarette. Yes, this app is ridiculous, and some might say a time-waster, but I think it's brilliant.
I mean, just feast your eyes on this for a moment.
Just look at what you can do with $1.99 and a picture of your building's lobby at night? Really! That's all it takes.
Thanks to Mandy from Harper's Happenings for writing a post recently about this app. I too would have been really sad when the iPhone people began posting cat-added photos all over the internets, so in a way she saved me hours of pain. THANKS MANDY!
But ... but ... its really not as pathetic as it may seem. It's fun and cool! Here's another one:
As ridiculous as it sounds, I've been really inspired by doing these silly pieces, and I want to keep going with it, make a series, figure out how to make some poignant statement.
I could be the Magritte of internet cats, yo.
So anyway, that's what I've been up to these last couple of days: singing about STDs under my breath at work, and making collages of Instagram photos and cutouts of cats. Gold effing star.
In other news of the week:
- I caught some of the Olympic Trials for swimming on TV this week. Watching boy swimmers who aren't Michael Phelps hugging each other while wet and wearing Speedos does not suck. Fact.
- What kind of bird sings its songs in the middle of the night? As in, I was on the roof the other night, and a bird was singing its chirpy little repertoire as if it were 8am, and yet ... it was pitch black outside, you stupid bird! I mean, who does that? Sheesh.
- I walked past a guy at UC Berkeley who was wearing a bee suit and swearing at a box in the back of his truck. Its pretty likely that he was having some bee trouble, so I hightailed it outta there, but man, it just reiterated how little I would like to ever keep bees. Yikes.
- Tomorrow is Friday, just thought I'd mention that.
Has this been random enough for you? Time for me to go pick up the CSA box; happy Thursday & I will be back tomorrow with a post or two. ★

text: Did you guys see this?! The characters from the cartoon Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends were signing the song "Best Friend" – the theme song from The Courtship of Eddie's Father and then the record scratched and Rick Astley came out and sang "Never Gonna Give You Up". At the end of the song one the the little characters yells out, "I Like Rick Rolling!" How weird and funny is that?! Kudos to Macy's, Fosters AND most importantly Rick Astley for the most original and bizarre parade moment ever.

For a century, the oil industry has suceeded with the help federal fossil fuel tax breaks;but some believe it's time to focus the subsidies on renewable energy. Tufts University economist Gilbert Metcalf is among those who believe it is time to plan for an end game when it comes to fossil fuel subsidies.
"A hundred years later, I think that it's time for these industries toleave the nest and stand on their own two feet. Congress never has theright exit strategy to figure out how to phase things out."

Church building … relationships.
Before sunrise one chilly Saturday morning, our church gathered to improve the building. Please note the theology of that sentence: the church (people of God) gathered to work on the building (not the church). The same phenomenon occurs Sunday mornings: after the church gathers (in worship), it scatters (on mission).
Molly & I have been part of four church plants, but this is the first in which we've had property to steward. Ironic, because the vision He gave for The Mission was to train missionaries to function outside a church context. Then he puts us in a building. The Lord must've chuckled when He gave us a church building and our launch team blinked in confusion.
So it seems strange that a church dedicated to incarnational living outside the building would spend a work day investing time, energy, & resources in the campus. Why would we do such a thing? Did we sell out? Have we gone attractional?
None of the above. The reason we gathered that chilly Saturday morning was to build relationships … on two fronts.
The first was with strangers. In our mission field (DFW, TX), God brings people into our path on Sundays simply because they see the building with some cars out front. So we worked to serve strangers who might arrive with some trepidation – those may have suffered hurt, abuse, or others who've never been to a worship service before.
As for us, we're fine with the place as it is. It's just a building. Our friendships in community take place far more frequently outside 3224 Cheek-Sparger Rd than within. Our goal was to help put strangers at ease by giving them a glimpse of the beauty and care our Creator taught us. If our efforts to redeem (cleaning & painting) and restore (gardening and construction) help them encounter Christ in His body, then they're worth the sweat and time.
But to be completely honest, freshening up the welcome mat (our campus) isn't what excites me. It's seeing God's people more deeply connect.
The second realm of relationship the workday built, was in the volunteers God gathered together as a family (which, for many, isn't a warm/fuzzy word).
My heart goes out to men, because I believe most endure a lonely existence. Typically, guys are slow to friendship (as I've blogged before). We're insecure and don't like to be vulnerable (which real relationship requires). This is why men can stand next to one another in church for years – singing, praying, even smiling & shaking hands – and yet not truly know one another.
Men don't seem to become friends just by talking (though ladies certainly seem to). But put us together on a task – like felling a tree, moving something heavy, or building something new – and the project connects us. The small talk-type fluff shakes off and we bond … basically in battle. Fighting side-by-side, trust and respect are earned. We connect as we conquer the obstacle before us.
Perhaps this is why missiologists like Michael Frost teach that, when the church aims for community, it rarely materializes. But when we embark together on mission, community is forged in the struggle. Tasks greater than ourselves galvanize us in relationship, for they require dependence on one Christ and one another.
As tired, sweaty people stopped for the day to eat lunch, I looked around to see what God had done. Sure, some of the buildings looked a bit better. But more importantly, relationships were stronger. People who hadn't known each other well (some of whom perhaps no one truly knows well), were talking and laughing together. Walls had come down … both literally and metaphorically. After working together, the Father's kids left able to know, love, & serve one another better.
The Mission will never be a beautiful cathedral. But the people can. By God's grace, they will.
He commissioned us to make disciples. The workday was part of that. For if the church can't love one another well, how can we befriend those hostile to our Lord (yet need Him so desperately)?
I praise you heavenly Father, for giving us eyes to see needs, feet to propel us out of laziness, hands to create beauty, ears to enjoy song & laughter, and hearts devoted to you. Thank you for giving us a brisk October morning to come together as a family of friends to serve people we haven't yet met.
Thank you for bringing each of us to the cross, where you revealed our need for the Savior and You provided the gift of eternal life through His atoning sacrifice.
Please continue to unite your people worldwide. Purify your bride, strengthening her for service, giving her a hospitable heart, renewed mind, and passion for your kingdom mission. Thank you for letting us be a part of your work here and now that has eternal impact. Amen.Â

Looking at the delicately colored prints of artist Heather Fortner, you're probably pretty impressed by the extreme realism of her work. Each scale, fin, and spine of the fish she creates is rendered with perfect detail and proportion, but the images still manage to be light and airy.
So how does she do it?
Well, you might not believe this, but the Oregon-based artist gets up close and personal with her subjects.
In fact, you could say that they even help her. That's because Fortner uses actual fish to create these prints.
The practice of making prints with real fish comes from Japan, where it's called gyotaku, which literally translates to "fish rubbing." Fishermen would once keep ink and paper aboard their ships and use them to make records of the fish they caught that day. The records were totally accurate, which made them perfect for keeping track of fish population trends — and for judging fishing contests.
There are two ways of doing this. The direct method calls for ink to be applied right to the fish's body. The fish's body is then pressed against paper. The indirect method involves pressing paper to the fish, and then rubbing color over the paper, similar to the way people make rubbings from tombstones.
Here's a fish mid-print. The detail is pretty amazing.
And since we know you guys are concerned about the welfare of animals, Fortner does not kill any fish to create her pieces.
Instead, she finds dead fish that have washed up on the shore near her home.
After using their bodies, she cleans them off and buries them in her yard to serve as fertilizer.
The fish can be used more than once, which is why you often see multiple prints of the same one.
This piece is a prime example.
Handling a dead fish to create art might seem a little gross, but Fortner sees her work as a way to connect humans to the sea. By looking at these pieces, which were created with the actual bodies of our fellow creatures, we're reminded of the complexity, beauty, and fragility of life.
For her part, Fortner hopes that her paintings will remind viewers that fish are delicate creatures that hang in the balance of nature. The way we treat the planet often affects our aquatic friends first.
(via My Modern Met)
You can see more of Fortner's work on her website, where you can check out different examples of fish from all over the world. Follow her on Facebook to keep up with her latest projects!

once in a while ther are people that come in your life for a reason…and i am glad to say i did meet an interesting and sweet person with whom i can see a great friendship coming my way…and those are precious and rare to come around…
i need to get back on my painting…because this summer unfortunately i could not do too much of it….being that we practiced pretty much everyday and that we were staying in a hotel….lets just say i didnt want to take a chance at staining something i could definitely not afford to pay for!!lol
on the bright side i have a couple of commissions so i will be back on my paint therapy starting tomorrow…whoowee thats going to feel so good to my soul!
well im back in italy now getting ready for a new season to start…and im hoping for it to be a great and fruitful one. in the main time im planning on going back to school…yea i have too much time in my hands to let it go to waste….so will see how that goes….

A Review of the DfE 'What works in SEN Support' Report
In this blog Lindsey Grimes, Senior Teacher for SEN at Southfields Academy, reviews the Department for Education report SEN support: research evidence on effective approaches and examples of current practice in good and outstanding schools and colleges.
As an SEND specialist, I have been frequently troubled by the question, 'What are you doing about pupil X?'. One of the really positive aspects of 'What works in SEN Support' is that it strongly reinforces the responsibility of all school staff to be asking 'What can we do to support pupil X?'
At 122 pages, the resource may seem like a lengthy read, but with its clear and concise layout and signposting, consistency in format and repetition of examples across numerous sections, you can easily skim or skip bits to make this a manageable read.
As experienced SEND practitioners are well aware, every student is different and you have to go through a trial and error process to find what works for each individual (a point which is made clear in the resource). It would be almost impossible to produce an exhaustive list of methods for the teacher, however, this does purport to be a resource to support classroom practice, and I don't think it does enough to achieve this, so from the perspective of a classroom teacher, I don't think it has as much to offer as I would like. Teachers are looking for practical examples of methods they can use in the classroom on a day to day, lesson by lesson basis and to this end, I felt that (even at 122 pages) it barely touched the sides.
On the other hand, as a SENCO or Lead Practitioner for SEND, those with responsibility for inclusion at Senior Leadership level, or even Heads of Department, (and as somebody who has undertaken all of these roles) I found this to be an extremely useful resource.
I was particularly grateful for its interactive nature, including direct hyperlinks to research and resources, potentially saving hours of time which could be lost to Google searches; I was able to quickly look up anything of further interest and make decisions as to where I wish to dig deeper when I have more time. Some of the signposted resources are quite expensive, but the indication of the effectiveness of their impact will help to make decisions as to which are worth the investment.
The only area where I felt a bit let down was the 'Review' section as, although it did give a couple of examples of good practice, I found it rather primary centric and didn't think that the suggestions made could necessarily be implemented as easily in secondary schools where students are taught and monitored by such a large number of teachers and in so many different contexts. It would be great to see the document evolve over time to better reflect the challenges of working in a secondary setting.
I am fortunate to work in a highly inclusive academy where SEND has status as a whole school issue and where the emphasis is on ensuring that we adapt to meet the needs of all students to help them to be the best they can be. In a climate in which schools are having to focus on securing the highest levels of academic attainment, it is becoming increasingly difficult for schools to maintain this level of inclusivity, and I doubt this resource will do much to change that, however, for those who are trying to promote an inclusive ethos, 'What works in SEN Support' is certainly a valuable resource which offers practical advice and strategies which can be implemented at department and whole school levels.
Lindsey Grimes is Senior Teacher for SEN at Southfields Academy
She is currently participating in the SEND Advocates professional development programme.

Satic is committed to the design, development and manufacturing of energy saving products designed to be inexpensive, easy to use and truly effective. We are absolutely committed to getting our products to the masses and create the change our world and economy needs. In doing so, we help everyone effectively "Go Green," saving money and
the planet.
Less inductance & improved power factor will consistently increase efficiency. Reduced electrical consumption means less amps being converted into heat and wasted in I2R losses. (As a result equipment runs more efficiently, operates cooler & lasts longer.)
Increased life for all electronics, which results in re
duced electrical consumption
Much has been written on the harmful effects of Electro Magnetic Fields and Electro Magnetic Radiation. Third party data has shown our products to drastically reduce both.
Satic's Energy Management Systems (EMS) such as the Power Perfect Box and EMF Eliminator correct the electrical system in a home or office in real time. This reduces heat, lowers amperage and lessens the harmful effects of "electric noise" and negative harmonics that are usually found in most electrical systems
= Lower Utility Bills!
How does it work?
K2 Energy Management takes pride in offering American Made energy saving products that not only help reduce our customer's energy consumption, but also helps our planet by reducing their carbon footprint.
Even though consumers are charged for 100% of their electricity intake, statistics show that actually only 75-80% of that is usable power. Our products help increase that percentage, usually to over 95%.
People invest a great deal of money in their homes in the form of appliances, electronics, heating & cooling, swimming pools & hot tubs, etc. Our Power Perfect Box will help protect those investments.

It was a shorts and flip-flops kind of night last summer at The Rumpus Room on Vancouver's Main St. Looking out to the parking lot from my table full of friends I could see the crowded, flamingo laden patio (complete with putting green) and groups leaning against cars while they smoked and chatted each other up. It was the kind of night that people mixed easily, everyone was a friend while they were there and everything just felt right. It was an atmosphere I'd never experienced in a Vancouver bar before and I took a moment to appreciate it, knowing it was special and that those kinds of nights couldn't be planned. They just happened, and wouldn't last.Google+

Mobile World Congress may only be a few weeks away, but Sony just couldn't wait until then to introduce us to its newest Xperia smartphone.
The Sony Xperia E4 features a 5-inch 960×540 IPS display on its face, a 1.3GHz quad-core MediaTek MT6582 processor and 1GB of RAM at its heart, and 8GB of storage that can be expanded upon with its microSD card slot. Sony plans to offer single SIM and dual SIM versions, both of which will offer HSPA+ connectivity.
One focus of many of Sony's smartphones are their cameras, and the Xperia E4 is no different. It's got a 5-megapixel shooter on its rear that can utilize all kinds of special Sony features like Timeshift Burst, Sound Photo, Live on YouTube, Social Live, Portrait Retouch, and more. Meanwhile, there's a 2-megapixel shooter on the E4's face that utilize Sony's dedicated selfie app.
Another big feature of the Xperia E4 is its camera. Sony has crammed a 2300mAh battery into the E4, which the company claims will last for two days. If that's not quite long enough, you can turn on Ultra STAMINA Mode to toggle off all but the core features of the phone and extend its life up to a full week.
Finally, Sony has included some audio goodies with the E4. Those include xLoud, ClearAudio+, ClearBass, and the PartyShare app, the last of which is meant to make sharing music and photos with friends super easy.
The Sony Xperia E4 will launch in mid-February with Android 4.4.4 KitKat in tow. International customers will be able to pick up this handset in either black or white. Overall the phone looks like it's got a design that's more rounded than some of Sony's other Xperia smartphones, which could help it to fit a bit more nicely in the hand. Sony also points out that the E4's also got some premium-tier features on its body, like an aluminum power button and stainless steel camera ring.

Juxta-cortical chondroma
Juxta-cortical chondromas, also known as periosteal chondromas, are rare benign chondral tumours that arise from the periosteum of tubular bones. They are thought to account for ~2% of benign bone tumours.
On this page:
They tend to present around the 2nd to 4th decades. There is a recognised male predilection 1.
Typical sites include 3:
- proximal humerus and distal femur 70%
- phalanges 25%
- tibia
- radius
- ulna
Radiographic features
Plain radiograph
- may be seen as a saucerisation of the adjacent bony cortex with a sclerotic periosteal reaction
- distinct soft tissue mass may be difficult to identify
- matrix calcification may be seen is ~50% of cases; as with all chondroid lesions, this tends to be ring and arc
- most lesions are <3 cm in size 1
Typically seen has a soft tissue lesion abutting the cortex and may better demonstrate evidence of pressure erosion of neighbouring bone. Often has a lobulated configuration. Tends to lack associated medullary bone or soft tissue oedema.
Signal characteristics include 8:
- T1: typically iso to low signal relative to muscle
- T2/T2*: high signal but with low signal areas representing calcification
- T1 C+ (Gd): heterogeneous and tends to show peripheral predominant contrast enhancement
Treatment and prognosis
They are benign lesions, however may be similar in imaging and histopathologic appearance to juxtacortical chondrosarcomas. Local excision is often the treatment of choice. Once resected lesions usually do not recur.
Differential diagnosis
Imaging differential considerations include:
- periosteal osteosarcoma: lobulated margins and high T2 chondral nodules of periosteal chondroma are absent
- non-epiphyseal chondroblastoma: typically associated with reactive marrow edema on MR
- juxtacortical chondrosarcoma: often larger than 3 cm (mean size 5.5 cm)
- bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation (Nora lesion): for phalangeal lesions
- cortical desmoid: for the posteromedial distal femoral lesions
- giant cell tumour of tendon sheath: for phalangeal lesions

Is Minecraft Addicting and if so why? What are your thoughts and experiences?
James B.
Lake Mary, Florida
Made on his computer with construction paper. ;)
Justin W.

What makes Minecraft so addicting is that you can literally do anything you want plus it also makes a challenge because you can only use blocks and that sorta adds a challenge to Minecraft plus there is no real backstory so you have to make your own version or make your Minecraft life backstory.
Jaiden M. (Chili_Doge1234)
Lake Mary, Florida
Minecraft is so addicting because the possibilities are endless, you can keep building and making the process over and over again. Minecraft is where you can use all your creativity from a dirt block to a diamond block or a block to a tower.
Righton S. (righton1)

I think Minecraft is addicting because its so fun and you get to be creative and there is so much to do in mine craft that you just can't wait for.
Alex R. (swboy2021)
Lake Mary, Florida
Minecraft is addicting because it is a creative game that never ends. Minecraft has credits, but no actual end. You can build a diamond mansion, and then a gold greenhouse, etc. without end! I find this addicting because of my love for improving villages. I have a lot of experience with villagers (even if all they say is hmmmm? or hm). So in conclusion, I find Minecraft addicting because of it's never-ending features.
Connor P. (HeathrowConnorP)

Minecraft was addicting to me when I found out that in Minecraft we are able to change the look with texture packs. We can expand Minecraft's inventory with mods, we can change our character with skin packs and finally, we can use our creativity in solving problems to making what we could call a future invention.
Jay N. (jcreepercrusher)
Lake Mary, Florida
I think Minecraft is addicting because it has complex gameplay so you will always find new things to do whether it is making a cake or defeating the Ender Dragon. Not only this but you can go on multiplayer servers to share your experience and participate in many challenging online games such as hunger games. Of course if you want to make the game even more addicting you can also include mods to expand gameplay options and abilities. Minecraft is a game where if you just sat in a two block hole with a roof then you would survive. However this makes people expand to take risks even if they could take the easy way out so taking risks makes it more addicting. You can make various creations with redstone to trap friends to killing mobs to making a password locked iron door. In conclusion these are only a few of the addicting qualities of Minecraft.
David L. (TheCrafter314)
Lake Mary, Florida
I think the main reason Minecraft keeps you playing is the infinite possibilities it provides. If you watch YouTube videos about Minecraft, you'll notice that just about all of the channels "survive" mainly because of their Minecraft videos. If you look at their videos in general, you'll never see a replicated video. Adventure maps are always different in some way. Plus servers add amazing minigames. Talking about servers, Minecraft servers give an awesome multiplayer experience. My favorite server is skyblock.bz, by the way. There is just infinite possibilities.
Tazio B. (Tazemisan)
Lake Mary, Florida
I think Minecraft is addicting because in Minecraft you can build anything. Minecraft is a game of creativity. Right now we are using Minecraft to learn about the Oregon Trail. Last year we worked on the Revolutionary War. What's next...WWII or maybe Civil war. Wow so many amazing ideas boggling in my giant head of ideas. Each update Mojang makes Minecraft much more fun. Last time they added stain glass windows and I created a huge palace with giant windows. Minecraft is so addicting. I love it!! I love it!!! I love it so much!

Led Zeppelin – "Blueberry Hill"
A popular Zeppelin bootleg from their September 4, 1970 show at the Los Angeles Forum was dubbed Live on Blueberry Hill, because that's the song the band performed as the set closer. There's no doubt many people found their thrill that night.

Freddie Gibbs 'Playa (Mexicans with Guns Remix)' (Hosted via Pitchfork)
Seems as though my listening for the day is shifting from Indie memories to my growth into a punk thug. Mexicans with Guns has quickly become one of my new favorite producers stretching the boundaries of club music with influences stretching from Mariachi music to Soul Sonic Force style electro. Freddie Gibbs is a part of the Stones Throw family via their imprint Innovative Leisure-so no surprise I am all over this track. Plus, as you know, I'm a playa.
Pick up the 12" via Stones Throw here.
Features edits and remixes from LA's Capski, Bay Area's Trackademicks, San Antonio's Mexicans With Guns, and Chicago's Maker.

Life is too short to waste on negativity. Don't let negativity affect your vision. Don't allow negativity to rule your life! Positive thinking helps to keep away negative happenings. A bad attitude is like a flat tire on which you can't move your life forward. To move forward you have to change your mindset to positive mode. Clear your mind and soul from negativity. Here are some things you can do to remove negativity from your life.
Avoid negative people
According to Israelmore Ayivor 7 things negative people will do to you. They will…
- Demean your value;
- Destroy your image
- Drive you crazily!
- Dispose your dreams!
- Discredit your imagination!
- Deframe your abilities and
- Disbelieve your opinions!
Stay away from negative people!"
Surround Yourself With Positive People
Surround yourself with positive people and you'll be a positive person. You'll find that life becomes much brighter when you have that kind of people in your life.
Believe in yourself
If you can't believe in miracles, then believe in yourself. When you want something bad enough, let that drive push you to make it happen. Sometimes you'll run into brick walls that are put there to test you. Find a way around them and stay focused on your dream. Where there's a will, there's a way. Isabel Lopez
Don't do something you don't want to do
You have the power to say no. Don't do something you don't want to do because your friends do it. It's okay to be selfish sometimes. Start saying no more, and take control of your life.
Do what you love, love what you do
Love what you do and do what you love. Don't listen to anyone else who tells you not to do it. You do what you want, what you love. Imagination should be the center of your life.

Ethernet or Token Ring
For this scenario I'd use a token ring. A token ring only allows transmission of data to those who are in possession of the token/packet. Mainframes allow it seems limitless users to access it at once. What I know to be true regarding files and account information is that no two people can have access to the same account at the same time. What makes the token ring ideal is the fact that since transmission cannot occur until your machine/workstation/computer is in physical possession of the token or packet it creates less traffic and less likelihood of collision because more than one user is looking to access the same account. * XYZ Technology Consultants has offices on the second, third, and fourth floors of the office building it occupies. Must the company use the Ethernet or Token Ring protocol? Explain your choice. Why is this choice appropriate?
In this scenario I would definitely use Ethernet protocol for the simple fact that it's easier and a more logical choice in my opinion when dealing with multi-level businesses. Ethernet allows for a single cable connected to the back of a switch to then provide network access to all the computers/workstations on that particular floor when they plug into in. If a switch is placed on each floor with the wires running from a central access point to each switch it means that should one switch fail the rest of the network will remain online.

Law of Effect
DefinitionIn marketing, law of effect (also known as reinforcement) states that the consumer's probability of repeating purchase of a brand would increase if he/she were satisfied with the purchase and decrease if dissatisfied.
Note: Law of effect is a technical term from learning theory in psychology often credited to Thorndike. Of the several responses made to the same situation, that which is accompanied or closely followed by satisfaction, other things being equal, will more likely be repeated, and the connections learned. Those responses that are followed by punishment will be extinguished. However, whether rewards and punishment are essential for learning to occur is controversial in that many learning theorists claim that reinforcement is unnecessary.[1]

EN POINTE: Misty Copeland pushes for diversity, accessibility in ballet
WASHINGTON - You may not catch Misty Copeland getting a pedicure any time soon.
"We work our whole careers to build up calluses and bunions to protect our feet, so when we're dancing on our toes for eight hours a day, it's not hurting and we're not bleeding," she said Monday in an interview at the National Press Club in D.C.
Instead of curating her feet, the 34-year-old principal dancer is curating a special performance at the Kennedy Center to represent a diverse America.
Copeland is in D.C. this week alongside New York City Ballet's resident choreographer Justin Peck to promote Ballet Across America, a performance that features dancers from different companies all over the country.
The first African-American principal ballet dancer, Copeland is a fast rising star in the dance community with an aim to make classical ballet accessible to every community.
"African-American dancers, in particular, have been told that they don't have the right bodies for generations," she said. "Just addressing these issues is making companies wake up and realize it's not acceptable to not accept diversity."
Copeland has taken on a new role to bring dance companies she respects and loves an opportunity to be seen at a prestigious level.
"I stand on the shoulders of so many dancers who have fought and fought for me to be in this position, so I feel like I represent all of them," she said. "It's like I'm this vessel for so many people, in the future and in the past."
She's also promoting her new book, Ballerina Body: Dancing and Eating Your Way to a Leaner, Stronger, and More Graceful You, where she expresses the importance of balance in diet and exercise, and in being a real person to people who look up to her.
"I want to be human to people. I want them to know that just because you reach a certain level of success, doesn't mean you don't have doubts and you don't have struggles."
Ballet Across America runs at the Kennedy Center Opera House April 19-23, and Ballerina Body is out now.

چکیده انگلیسی
Basic art education is the basic, common and first training process of plastic arts where creative personalities with the levels of being talented and experience, revealing the potential of individual sense, intuition, inventiveness, dream and improvisation, being able to use this potential within an aesthetic organization and order are expected to be created. The latest inclinat ion in the field of education has been remarked as student needs at objectives, discipline structure at contents and scientific method at teaching. In common sense, there have appeared some new student-centered inclinations acknowledged by a great many educators and bearing significance at modern educational science in last decade. Integrity of practical and theoretical course should be supplied at studying the course of basic art education. It is necessary that the theoretical side of the course should not dominate the practical studies; it should be carried out as an integral part. Basic art education is empirical due to its objectives. More modern methods that students adapt "by conscious" and through which they improve the attitude of stimulation and awareness would increase the efficiency of the course.

This page will be updated throughout the next year as this project continues to develop. We envisage this being a 3 year project to get the Ethos of Learning embedded across the school. Our main focus this year will be with the Year 7 students.
Early planning stages:
We are certainly very excited to get this project under way. We have always felt like we provide our students with an excellent education. They leave us incredibly well qualified and they have also received superb pastoral care. However, have we really prepared them for the outside world and if we have, do the students realise this and can they articulate it? We therefore conducted some research to see which skills were most valued in the workplace. We spoke to a number of professionals from a variety of backgrounds to discover the skills they felt they used most often. The results can be seen below:
• Communication skills
• Ability to think on my feet
• Motivation
• Energy
• Personality
• Able to think in adversity
• Passion
• Enthusiasm
• Ability to present
• Organisation
• Sense of Humour
• Creativity
• Compassion
• Time management
• Delegation
• Flexibility
• Technical Skill
• Charm
We also researched the work of Guy Claxton and Carol Dweck and had guest speakers visit the school to talk to staff about Building Learning Power. We also visited 3 local schools to see how they have developed their Learning Powered School.
Our Head of Classics at the time worked with our Heads of Department and Key Stage Leaders and then devised their own set of key skills which they felt worked best for RGS. These key habits, outlined above, have now been presented to the Senior Team and have been launched to the whole staff in a Twilight training session last July. We welcomed Steve Watson from TLO who explained the theory behind a learning powered school.
We have been kindly donated posters from Perton Signs to raise awareness of the key skills we want to promote and develop. These are displayed throughout the school and within every classroom.
We have now had 4 guest speakers taking assembly to all students about one of the Headings which make up the Ethos of Learning. Elliot Romney (an old boy, now working at Red Bull) spoke about Teamwork, Nick Haynes (an old boy, now working as an architect) spoke about Creativity, Steve Ashton (Chairman of Governors) spoke about Responsibility and Tom Rees (old boy and ex- England rugby captain) came spoke about Engagement. These were very well received by the students and you can view some of them below, or on the Assemblies page.
You can view their assembly videos below and read Elliot's presentation slides here.
We recently had a Year 7 Ethos of Learning Day. Students spent a few hours working on various activities to increase their awareness and familiarity with the terms. They also analysed where their own strengths and weaknesses were and what they could do to fill any gaps. The students were exceptional and really enjoyed the day. In the evening we also had over 220 parents from Year 7 attend the Academic Evening, this was an hours presentation for them to hear about the value of this initiative. The parents got really involved in the activities and were a pleasure to present to. They behaved nearly as well as the students! We feel it is so important for the parents to be involved in students learning and we want them to share the same language we are using with the boys.
Third Stage:
We have now completed our Sixth Learning Review. We aim to run 2 or 3 a year. We have amended the Reviews each time based on staff evaluation. We are now confident of delivering some excellent training. The two most recent reviews were rated more than 4 out of 5 for usefulness. Over 70% of staff have received training in the past two and a half years and we hope all staff to be trained in the near future.
The Ethos of Learning has now been adopted from years 7-11. The parent evenings continue to be well attended for Year 7s. Many of our assemblies revolve around the Ethos of Learning. The newsletters are well read and often lead to parental engagement in the project. I feel it is well on the way to being fully embedded across the school.

Starting November 1, you'll be paying more for your SaskEnergy monthly bill. The Government of Saskatchewan approved an increase to SaskEnergy's Delivery Service Rate of 3.6 per cent to begin November 1. On average, the increase to residential customers will be an additional $1.65 per month or about $20 annually. The Delivery Service Rate is made up of two components a fixed Basic Monthly Charge and a charge based on customer usage. This is expected to generate more than $9 million annually for the Crown Corporation, to support customer growth and public safety by allowing for additional investment in major capital and system integrity projects across the province.
