Competency-based education (CBE) offers learners a new choice and a new opportunity to participate in education. The Blackboard Learn and Moodlerooms platforms provide a variety of tools and resources for institutions and organizations that wish to successfully deploy CBE programs
Implementing a competency-based education (CBE) program often requires major institutional, organizational, curricular, and operational changes. While some institutions have had tremendous success and have been able to scale their programs with high student satisfaction scores, others have had a somewhat modest success or ended up taking longer than expected to launch their first program.
"Even in these last cases, we have seen that the implementation of a CBE program really improved institutions by bringing the different members of the faculty together to think about the approaches that they're taking in teaching and learning, and it has had a profound impact on the improvement of even traditional programs," says Wade Weichel, Product Manager for Blackboard Learn.
There are many factors involved in deploying a successful CBE program: Understanding the value that the program will create for the community, collaborating between all the stakeholders, leveraging available resources at the institution or organization, and choosing the right technology to support the interactions between instructors and learners.
Both Moodlerooms and Blackboard Learn have been investing in useful tools and features designed to make CBE a reality. See next how these platforms can help generate value and facilitate the CBE programs implementation.
Pathways to success
To Pablo Borbón, Product Manager for Moodlerooms, a successful CBE program implementation should follow five steps.
To Wade Weichel, the key for developing a successful CBE program is to have a plan and for all the people involved to come together at the very beginning. "It is also important to meet early with the technologists, the IT team, and to think about leveraging the resources that the institution already have."
The roles of each player in CBE
For a CBE program to succeed, there are specific attributes for each role involved in the process. "Instructors and learners have the main role because they are the ones that really take ownership of the CBE initiative in terms of learning," says Pablo Borbón.
To Borbón, instructors should provide the materials, offer feedback, and facilitate the learning through courses, activities, and contents. Weichel also points out that educators need to be more flexible to support students who are in different places at different times. "The role of the educator can shift in terms of coaching individuals or smaller groups of students who are working on developing a particular competency, and assisting those students enhancing that mastery," he says.
Learners should be able to identify their own gaps and needs so they can be successful with what they are trying to achieve. "We've seen that CBE is best suited for learners who are older, or more self-directed, or have some workplace experience, because their expectations for their learning experience are slightly different, whereas a more traditional student would perhaps desire more structure," says Weichel.
Organizations or institutions
Regarding the organizations or institutions, according to Borbón, they are responsible for getting the project in place, identifying the right model and why it's important to deploy this model, studying the expectations, communicating with all of the stakeholders, managing changes, and establishing the best practices to adopt.
Supervisors and administrators
Supervisors act like facilitators in terms of providing feedback to all the instructors and learners, providing the right resources for them to be successful and reviewing how the learners are progressing. "Whereas administrators should be able to translate the needs of the institution regarding the CBE program into something that is doable in terms of technology, then properly configure the platform and prepare all that needs to be done in order to successfully achieve the plan of the strategy," states Borbón.
Lastly, it is essential to promote collaboration amongst all these roles. "A CBE program really does touch every single function within an institution," according to Weichel. With several CBE programs there is an important connection to the local and regional employer community. "In many cases, we have seen good success where the employers help design the competency model. Employers are quite pleased with the programs because of the results — it's not just a grade point average; it's a map of strengths of an individual that the employer is looking to potentially hire."
Resources by Moodlerooms
Autonomous learning plans create ownership in terms of the learner being the one in charge for how he or she develops the competencies
"The most important reason for using Moodlerooms as a CBE platform is that it simplifies and accelerates what institutions and organizations can do in the initiative," says Borbón. This open source platform allows a great deal of flexibility in how the program is going to be implemented, and enables organizations and institutions to fit or tailor the initiative and the platform to what they actually need.
"Moodlerooms presents a set of integrated features and tools that allow institutions and organizations to have information, and review and assess what is happening in terms of the competencies that are being addressed. This allows them to understand what needs to be created in terms of learning content and what will require additional attention from supervisors or instructors," says Borbón.
The competency frameworks are a way for an organization to create a set of competencies that they want to structure in the platform. "For example, competencies that their students or employees need to develop as part of their performance or their training programs. They can set these competencies there and create frameworks that can have different relationships between each of the competencies," explains Borbón.
Another interesting feature available in Moodlerooms enables the creation of learning plans. "It's a way of organizing a set of competencies that a specific audience needs to build up. For example, a training program for all of the medicine students with competencies that they should be really proficient at," says Borbón. The learning plans can also be personalized.
Moodlerooms gives the options to create both structured and autonomous learning plans. In the last case, it is possible to provide a full portfolio of courses available for the student to choose from. "Autonomous learning plans create ownership in terms of the learner being the one in charge for how he or she develops the competencies" highlights Borbón.
Features available in Blackboard Learn
There is a maturity in the product and its extensibility in the choice that provides numerous integrations with other sorts of solutions and content providers, and give the curriculum designer the option to develop the best possible CBE program.
Using Blackboard Learn as a platform for CBE offers many advantages, according to Weichel. "There is a maturity in the product and its extensibility in the choice that provides numerous integrations with other sorts of solutions and content providers, and give the curriculum designer the option to develop the best possible CBE program."
In order to manage the curriculum model and make alignments, there is a feature called Goal Manager. "The institution can define the structure for the competency model and include a hierarchy. They can be aligned to the criteria for evaluation, and the curriculum designer can manage those alignments over time when there is a curriculum change" explains Weichel.
The ability to understand students' performance and mastery for individual competencies and the combination of sub-competencies to higher-level competencies is vital to a CBE program. "Blackboard Learn supports that through a feature we call the Goal Performance Dashboard. Students can see their performance on each of the competencies being measured with an individual course or module," explains Wade. Additionally, there is an aggregation of the higher-level competencies, so students can see those across the program as a whole, as well as coaches and advisors, so they can support students in their learning.
There are ways for the program to identify learning milestones that students have mastered and present those as displayed badges or achievement levels, so the students can track their progress. There are also tools for educators to identify students that are at-risk and those who are far behind or are not engaging regularly, so that they can intervene.
"We're really excited by the promise that CBE holds about impacting and improving the experience for learners and helping them understand what they have learned through their educational process and be able to articulate that as they go out into the workplace," summarizes Weichel. "Institutions are using the lessons learned with CBE to improve all of the programs that they deliver. We think that's really exciting and incredible."
Rather than offering just one way to partake in a program, CBE expands the choices available for learners and assures that the students are engaged in an approach that is the best match for them. It is up to the institutions to develop a consistent, supporting program, and to make the necessary changes to truly transform the way learning happens.

Mitigated skepticism is a philosophical approach that attempts to provide a level of caution in human reasoning. The term was made popular by the 18th-century philosopher David Hume in his essay, "An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding."
In his essay, Hume analyzes the concept of human belief. He begins by dividing mental concepts into impressions and ideas. Impressions are mental connections that are based on direct experiences. For example, if an individual looks at a piece of paper with the color blue on it, he is likely to have an impression of the color blue. An idea is a mental connection that doesn't arise directly from an immediate experience. For example, revisiting a memory of a blue ocean is an idea.
Hume argues that because humans are unable to observe the connections made between ideas, those ideas are irrational and can't be completely trusted. An example is the belief that the sun will rise tomorrow, based upon the fact that in the past the sun rose. However, Hume argues that it's impossible to predict a future event based on past experiences. The individual may expect the sun to rise tomorrow, however he is incapable of knowing this without a doubt. However, Hume understands that it's extremely difficult to live life in a constant state of complete skepticism. Therefore, mitigated skepticism is Hume's way of allowing human nature and reason to coexist.

What do You Really Value in Your Life? (Part One)
It's amazing how many people talk about values but really aren't totally clear on what they mean by that. When you value something, you hold it in high esteem and will make the time and space to prioritise it no matter what. And it's quite interesting to ask someone what they think they value in their life. They may tell you all sorts of things but when you begin to look at their life under the magnifying glass, you get … Continue reading

After moving house 8 times in 16 years, the Hurst's, a military family of 7 from have decided to put down their routes in Cockerton, Darlington.
Lee Hurst was discharged from the British Army on medical grounds and after hearing about Help to Buy, Lee and his wife bought their first family home on Dunelm Homes West Park Grange development.
Lee's wife, Annamarie, 33, said "Myself and the children have always been used to moving to a new home every couple of years which is just the natural part of life as an Army family. We've always enjoyed the thrill and excitement of moving somewhere new, meeting new people and making a new home for ourselves so in many ways we wanted to own a property but our lifestyle just made it impractical."
"With Lee leaving the Army recently and the children settled in school in the Cockerton area, the timing was perfect to see what was available in the area to buy. Darlington has always felt like home to us and the West Park Grange development from Dunelm Homes seemed like the perfect place for our first family home."
Lee and Annamarie were able to purchase their 4 bedroom for £164,995 through the Help to Buy scheme. The government-run scheme is designed to help buyers access a range of mortgages with just a 5% deposit to help make properties more affordable to a range of buyers looking to get their first rung on the ladder or move up into a larger family home.
"It was actually our financial advisor who pointed us in the direction of the Help to Buy scheme because although we had heard of it, we didn't think it was open to just about anyone. After 16 years living in army rented accommodation we have been able to afford a four bedroom detached home which provides more than enough space for a busy family with the varying needs of teenagers and toddlers."
"We couldn't be happier to finally be settling in a great location in what is our dream home. Although we miss the excitement of the travelling as a military family, we know that both Lee, myself and the children will enjoy our permanent new Dunelm Home at West Park Grange."
For more details on Help to Buy contact us on 0113 825 6888. Alternatively you can tweet us at @HelptoBuyNEYH.

Stuart Pearce: England legend signs for Longford AFC
England football legend Stuart Pearce is set to come out of retirement aged 53 in a bid to transform the fortunes of a struggling non-league side.
Nicknamed Psycho, the former Nottingham Forest defender played in a World Cup semi-final in 1990 but has signed for a team dubbed "the worst in the UK".
Longford AFC, based in Gloucestershire, have lost all 18 games this season, scoring one goal and letting in 179.
Pearce said the grassroots game was "essential" to the sport's lifeblood.
"I started out in non-league football playing for Wealdstone before joining Coventry City," he said.
"So I'm looking forward to working with manager Nick Dawe, and helping a group of talented young footballers achieve their dreams and, hopefully transforming both the dressing room confidence, as well as the on-the-pitch performance, and seeing how far they can go up the league."
Longford AFC's biggest losses
2015-16 season
goals conceded
0-17 Loss at home to Bibury
16-0 Loss away to Lydney Town Reserves
0-15 Loss at home to Quedgeley Wanderers
14-0 Loss away to Woolaston
Longford AFC are rooted to the bottom of the Gloucestershire Northern Senior League Division Two.
With an awful record and a growing interest from the media, the side has been dubbed "the worst team in England".
But that could change following the recruitment of their star January signing, who is expected to train with the squad before playing one game with them.
'No special treatment'
Nick Dawe, Longford AFC manager, said the opportunity would give the side "the best chance possible to go further than we ever have done before".
"A year ago we were playing in front of one man and his dog and now we are set to [attract] hundreds for Stuart Pearce's debut," he added.
"Stuart knows that there will be no special treatment, he will still need to pay his £5 a game subs."
Pearce, a winner of 78 England caps, was part of Sir Bobby Robson's squad that reached the last four of the World Cup in Italy in 1990, and the Terry Venables-led side that was eliminated at the same stage of Euro '96.
He retired from playing six years after that, having enjoyed spells at Newcastle United, Manchester City, West Ham, Coventry and non-league Wealdstone as well as captaining Forest under the management of Brian Clough.

We went. We saw. We cooked some Spam. We made it home.
Two weeks ago, Kingston, Marc and I drove from here in Bellingham, Washington to Leadville, Colorado. We went onto Denver to visit with friends before heading back, over 1,400 miles each way.
Leadville is a former mining town up in the mountains just over 10,000 feet with area peaks reaching more than 14,000 feet. It's now best known for the iconic ultra running and mountain biking races that have been taking place there for about the past thirty years. It's a basic kind of place, with one of everything you need and the quaintness of a crotchety old mountain town. It's just a few blocks long -- and wide. Which is to say, it's tiny.
My husband, Marc, was on the support crew for his friend, Chris, who was attempting to complete the Leadville 100 Trail Run ("Race Across the Sky") for a second time. Yes, 100 miles of running. Of Chris' four designated pacers (allowed only after mile 50!), Marc was to take the final leg, bringing Chris across the finish.
Did I mention that once the race starts at 4 a.m. on a Saturday (this year, August 22nd), there is no time for sleeping, little for eating and only room for forward movement, no matter how slow over the roughest terrain until the race is finished? That's how they get it done. Running at elevation, up past 12,000 feet. These athletes. This year, 650 of them. Men and women. All in serious beast mode.
It takes the all-out efforts of a crew to get a racer across the finish line. Chris, AKA "Team Laszlo" (his middle name), had the best people taking care of him.
His crew included his wife, Chanel, who paced him for four miles, cared for their little girl and made it to nearly every aid station; Olan, a veteran Leadville 100'er who kept him on pace for over 20 miles; Greg, who made sure Chris had the gear, nutrition, and anything else he required at each aid station; Luis, who paced Chris across 12 of the most challenging miles of the course terrain-wise, and of course, Marc.
Marrielle and I had the distinction of cooking up Spam, one of Chris' requested foods during the race. Salty and fatty, it's just what this endurance runner wanted to eat to keep going across mountainsides and over fields of boulders. Chanel delivered it to him with rice.
I don't think any of the crew got any sleep during the entire race as they were going all out and entirely focusing on Chris' times as he passed through each checkpoint. I didn't mention it before, but there are time cut offs that must be met throughout the course in order for each racer to continue on. The race must be completed in 30 hours, which is about six hours shorter than the time allowances of most 100-mile races.
We were all gathered just past the Twin Lakes Aid Station. Everyone who was staying at the cabin nearby, including all the kids, were there when Chris came through looking strong and still fresh at mile 39.
It was not until the dark hours of Sunday morning when those of us still at the cabin learned that Chris had made it past mile 87 but had missed the time cut off at the mile 88 May Queen Aid Station. By fourteen minutes. Fourteen! Chris continued to run as long as he could, until they asked him to remove his timing chip.
It was brutal for all of us to hear what happened. I think it was even harder for Chris, who seemed to feel he had let the whole team down.
But it wasn't that at all for the team. We talked instead about what an accomplishment it was that he'd gotten so far. To be able to even consider running a race like this at all -- that was tremendous.
I felt like I couldn't find quite the right words to say to Chris when he waddled slowly up the stairs and into the cabin later that morning. I don't think there were any "right" words, really. Not finishing something can be so painful, especially when the whole point of the endeavor is to finish. The arc of it, the ups and downs along the way, the shin pain, thirst, hallucinations, are incorporated into the body and the totality of the experience -- suffering and all -- because the point is that it will end. It will end in a great way, in completion and satisfaction. And when finishing is not possible, as in Chris' case, it can feel like a ball of tangled-up feelings: disappointment, anger, frustration, sadness, not to mention the raw and blistered feet.
I've been thinking about it. Maybe these words from the iconoclastic Jack Kerouac, are best for such a situation. He wrote:
Dear Chris, the race you ran was perfect. Here's a little more race food for you for the next time around. Because, we all know there will be a next time. And we will all be there, pushing you along.
Spam and Herb Onigiri (AKA the perfect food for a 100-mile run)
If you have never eaten Spam, well bless you. As a kid growing up in Chinatown, it was unavoidable for me to be exposed to it (and happily so -- isn't Spam Fried Rice amazing?), as it is for anyone who lives around any Asian immigrants or their children. Chris grew up in Hawaii where it is impossible not to eat it. Onigiri covers the range of Japanese rice balls that can have all sorts of fillings placed on top or inside them -- bonito flakes, plums, tuna and mayo. This is more of a general approach which can be altered as desired. Simple, basic and quick, onigiri is just the thing to put together while in a cabin on a mountain top. Add whatever herbs you like, as well as a strip of seaweed (just dampen the ends a bit so that it sticks). Or leave it plain Jane, though I think the herbs provide a touch of freshness, a nice counterpoint to the Spam.
Makes 8 portions.
1 cup of cooked rice of your choice, though white short grain works best
12 oz. can of Spam (Original "Glorious Spam," Lite, or Low Sodium)
1/3 cup chopped herbs (parsley, chives, scallions)
1/2 teaspoon black sesame seeds
Add herbs and sesame seeds to cooked rice and combine well. Divide rice mixture into equal portions. Using damp hands, form each portion into a flat puck shape or ball (this is up to you). You can also take a piece of plastic wrap, place it into a small container or small circle-shaped cutter and press the rice into it to form the shape you want.
Slice Spam into 1/4-inch slices (note: for this amount of rice, you will have some Spam left over). Cut the slices into any shape you want. Place slices into a skillet and cook over medium heat to brown slightly. Flip pieces, repeat. When they are done, remove and place one piece on top of each rice ball. Add seaweed if desired. Eat immediately. Or, wrap up and take to an aid station to feed the hungry endurance athlete of your choice.

What IS "It" About?
Whatever the politicians WANT it to be about!
- by David Matthews 2
There's been a particular mantra being hummed out on a daily basis concerning Bill Clinton's "improper relationship" with then intern Monica Lewinsky. You've probably heard this mantra at least once every other day..
"It's not about sex."
Conservative talk show hosts recite that mantra on a regular basis.
"It's not about sex."
You read it in every letter to the newspapers submitted by a conservative citizen.
"It's not about sex."
Even one of my cousins, a regular reader of my articles, e-mailed me his comments about my take on "L'affair Lewinsky" and reiterated this mantra…
"It's not about sex."
No matter the topic, no matter the spin, the conservatives have recited this mantra on a regular basis.
"It's not about sex."
That's right, I said BULLSHIT!
You know, it takes a lot for me to believe the assertion by liberals that conservatives are just mindless sheep, but this constant reciting of the mantra of "It's not about sex," makes me sick to my stomach. It's almost cult-like in how it's being used.
Let's be brutally honest here - It IS about sex!
Sex is the selling point for this scandal. It's Bill Clinton's Achilles heel. It's the reason why every air-fluffed ego in the media, every political hack, every moralist with a chip on their shoulder and a book to publish, every talking head yearning for another talk show, and every lawyer who suffered from media exposure withdrawal from the OJ Simpson trial is trying to milk this for all its worth. Sex sells! Sex gets people to look at the story!
Listen folks, do you really think that the public would be this passionate over campaign finance scandals? The notion that Washington is for sale to the highest bidder is old news! What used to be called "bribes" and "political kickbacks" are now called "campaign donations," "soft-money," and "junkets." The motivations are the same, only the names were changed to protect the politicians.
Ditto for the flap over the travel office. Yes, it's political nepotism and cronyism at work! The only difference was that it was more blatant this time. Did we care? Hell no! It's Washington at it's worst, nothing more!
Don't get me wrong, it still sucks to high heaven, but how many of us cared about those scandals? Not enough to warrant this kind of media attention!
But let's go with the conservatives on this for a moment and ask then what this whole "L'affair Lewinsky" IS all about if it's "not about sex."
Unfortunately, you won't hear a consistent answer on that one. Rather, you get a constantly shifting response.
"It's not about sex, it's about lying."
Let's see.. in 1990, Governor Clinton promised the voters of Arkansas that he wouldn't run for higher office if he got re-elected. Two years later, he goes back on his word. Was he lying then, or was he suffering from political amnesia? In 1992, he promised American voters that if he was elected president, he'd give working families a tax cut. He hasn't yet. Matter of fact, he raised taxes and then created even MORE taxes you probably never even noticed yet but you're paying for! (Check your phone bill lately?) I'd say that's lying, wouldn't you? Nothing new, and nothing that has involved sex either!
"It's not about sex, it's about lying under oath."
How about this oath: "I, William Jefferson Clinton, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will, to the best of my abilities, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, so help me God."
Sound familiar? He put his hand on his family's bible and swore that oath to the public not just once, but TWICE! And has he fulfilled that oath? Just ask the Cato Institute and you'll find that the Clinton Administration is by far the most UNCONSTITUTIONAL administration in the history of the nation! So if he could lie about his JOB, why should we trust him in a civil trial?
Okay, how about this one: "It's not about sex, it's about morality and values!" It's the house special for the moralists.
Two words: Dan Burton.
Okay, okay, two more words: Henry Hyde.
Okay, okay, not enough.. two more words: Helen Chenoweth.
Okay, okay, okay, how about these two words: Bob Packwood.
One more? How about this: Dan Quayle. (Oops! Sorry, that's for "It's not about sex, it's about spelling!")
The point of this matter is this, with the sexual inquisition at full steam, a lot of "morality and family values" politicians are having to check their closets for any undeclared skeletons, no matter how old those corpses are. So much for that argument!
Here's a good one: "It's not about sex, it's about sexual harassment."
The possible perjury is based on a sexual harassment case that was thrown out of court, not because Clinton lied, but because the plaintiff did not prove quid pro quo, which is the substance of a sexual harassment charge. But the corollary on that one is:
"It's not about sex, it's about a chief executive having sexual contact with an intern in his office!"
Designed, of course, for those office Clinton supporters, and often posed by some Republican suit who is disgusted at the notion that his own freedoms as a man are being neutered thanks to sexual harassment policies. Never mind the fact that there is very little chance that you'd find a chief executive LIVING in his workplace. The White House is not just the president's office, but it's also his home for the duration of his tenure in office. Clinton doesn't have the luxury to take his personal affairs out of the office like most stuffed suits in that position do.
How about this one: "It's not about sex, it's about a man being involved with a woman half his age!"
Oh, yes, the AGE factor! Perfect for turning off the "soccer mom" voters who reach for their Clairol hair coloring and still fantasize about Bill Clinton. Yeah, like AGE has a factor in all this. Funny, we never asked about the ages of all the women in Ted Kennedy's life. Or the age of guys in involved in Barney Frank's little scandal a decade ago. By the way, we seem to forget Kathleen Wiley - the Democratic supporter who allegedly got groped by Clinton while asking for a job. She wasn't some young intern, was she? No, she wasn't.
Folks, age is NOT a factor here.
How about this one: "It's not about sex, it's about the American system of justice!"
Or better yet.. here's it's ugly cousin: "It's not about sex, it's about upholding the Constitution!"
Waive the flag boys! Them patriotic HE-ROWS of JUST-US are in Congress!
Yes, the same institutions behind making Ted Kennedy pay for Chapaquiddik and OJ Simpson pay for Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman are here to make Bill Clinton pay for our disgust of this scandal!
Okay, okay, at least that response is a bit closer to the truth than the others, but it's still off the mark. Upholding the law or upholding the Constitution are part of Bill Clinton's job description, or at least they're supposed to be. And Congress is doing their job by the impeachment inquiries. So this is really a non-issue.
Finally we get to: "It's not about sex, it's about obstruction of justice and abuse of power."
You know, if the conservatives and moralists had stuck to this statement, we'd all have no problem with the issue. Obstruction of justice and abuse of power are very serious and credible charges to levy against Clinton.
Okay, so we've got obstruction of justice and abuse of power.. in what regard?
Well, according to the Starr Report, the obstruction of justice and abuse of power was in regards to an affair with an intern that Clinton said he never had.
Hmm.. that brought us back to SEX, didn't it? Every bit of the Starr Report dealt with Clinton's sexual encounters and his attempts to conceal them from the public.
You know, it seems that ever answer that followed "It's not about sex" had one common thread - that they didn't want it to BE about sex.
And perhaps that is where the truth lies. The people who say "It's not about sex" wish it WASN'T about sex.
Why? Perhaps it's because they're uncomfortable with the subject. Or perhaps they can't discuss it because to do so would make them appear to be hypocritical or prudish on the subject.
Or just perhaps they'd rather want to take down a sitting president for something that was perceived as a serious threat to the nation, but can't with the information at hand. Think about it. What sort of credible danger exists in the nation to know that the President is a tomcat in heat? None whatsoever. It's simply a measure of how easily we've been conned by a master politician.
So for all those people who beat their chests and proudly proclaim this whole "L'affair Lewinsky" is "not about sex," just take a step back from the impeachment morass and think for a minute about what it really is all about. You might be surprised.

Why do we call it "HomeJames"?
The name, "HomeJames," is based on a phrase coined by the 19th century British gentry as instructions to the driver of a horse-drawn coach. One story has the phrase often used by Queen Victoria telling her carriage driver, James Darling, to take her Majesty home. It came to prominence again in the 1930's in a song popularized by actor, songwriter Fred Hillebrand.
HomeJames-Caledon provides a free ride home in a client's own vehicle removing the risks created by driver impairment, however caused.
How do we get a ride?
You can request a HomeJames ride home by using the HomeJames App (download from Apple App Store or Google Play), the "Request a Ride" feature of this website or by telephone during the annual campaign which operates on Friday & Saturday evening's beginning mid November and concluding New Years Eve. When you want your drive home, call the HomeJames control centre at 905-951-9000 20 minutes prior to your requested pick up time to make final arrangements. The dispatcher will give you an approximate time of your chauffeur team's arrival.
Do you accept reservations?
HomeJames does not accept reservations for service. Your request for a ride home is on a first called, first served basis and ONLY AFTER you've called 905-951-9000 to confirm your ride on the night it is to be provided. The dispatcher will ask for proof of insurance on your car.
By law, your vehicle must be covered by valid insurance to be eligible for the HomeJames service. A current insurance pink slip represents proof of insurance. If that certificate is not presented to the HomeJames chauffeur team service will be refused.
I'm having a party and want to have my guests get home safe. Can I reserve rides for my guests?
No. HomeJames does not accept reservations. However, you can call the HomeJames communication center at 905-951-9000 twenty (20) minutes before your guests are ready to leave. To make arrangements, we will need to know how many guests wish rides home, how many vehicles are involved and assurances that all vehicles are accompanied by their owners with valid insurance certificates.
What if we are not ready to go when the team arrives to pick us up?
The team cannot wait. Others are in the queue to be picked up and the team will move on to the next request. You must call again and schedule a new ride.
Can we give our ride to some friends who are ready to go?
No. They can call on their own behalf and schedule a ride. Others who have already requested the service are waiting and will take priority.
Can I get a ride if I don't have my car with me?
No. We can only drive you home in your insured vehicle. You, your vehicle and proof of insurance are required factors for HomeJames offering its services.
What about my friends getting home?
Your friends can be dropped off individually along the way but the vehicle owner must remain with the HomeJames driver until the ride is completed. If there are more passengers than seat belts, the owner must stay with the vehicle for a second trip to pick up and safely drop off remaining guests.
What about car seat for my kids?
You are being chauffeured in your own vehicle. The children will be in their own seats.
How do I get my babysitter home after you have given me my ride?
We will drive the babysitter home but you must remain in the vehicle until the end of the trip.
I'm under age, are you going to report me?
No. Our objective is to get you home safely. We are a confidential, non-judgemental service.
I haven't been drinking but I am impaired. Can I use the service?
Yes! Our service is to avoid impaired driving. Impaired can be fatigue, medication, drugs, mental anguish, alcohol, or anything that may impede your ability to drive safely.
We need a ride outside the posted service area. Can we get the service to go beyond the borders?
HomeJames provides designated driver services within an area defined by the map found by going to Check Service Area on this website. Rides must begin or end within the Town of Caledon. Rides involving locations outside the "Service Area" must be approved, in advance, by HomeJames on the night of the ride request.
Should we tip for the ride?
Most people we drive home make a donation to HomeJames in varied amounts
What method of payment can I use for donations?
We accept cash, credit card, debit or cheque made payable to "HomeJames Caledon"

Reviewed by Judith E. Pearson, Ph.D.
Winning the Mind Game, by John H. Edgette and Tim Rowan is a book for hypnotherapists who want to expand their practices to include sports psychology. If you are a hypnotherapist who is already familiar with sports psychology, this book may give you some good pointers for honing your skills.
Sports psychology is the practice of helping athletes improve performance and overcome psychological obstacles that get in the way. Sports psychology can also extend to working with athletic coaches and athletic teams, as well as athletes' families.
Edgette and Rowan hold that any competent therapist with training in brief therapy approaches can adapt his or her therapeutic methods to working with athletes. After all, like the general population, athletes encounter a number of issues that diminish their potential for success on the playing field. Such difficulties might include interpersonal conflicts, stress, shyness, trauma, lack of confidence, anger control, pain management, and substance abuse. Sports psychology is not just for Olympians or professional athletes---it is also for school age and college athletes as well as amateurs who simply want to improve their game.
One of the primary things I learned from reading this book is that sports psychology is much more than teaching an athlete to relax and visualize a perfect performance. The authors present a model of therapy for athletes that relies on four elements:
1) Help the athlete develop a proper stance or attitude toward sports performance.
2) Teach the athlete cognitive and psychological skills that enhance performance.
3) Teach the athlete self-hypnosis to improve concentration and focus.
4) Assist the athlete in accessing internal resources.
Edgette and Rowan also recommend that sports psychology practitioners have at least one sport they are passionate about, either as a player or as a spectator. Practitioners who have been athletes, themselves, will have an advantage because they will better understand the emotional issues of sports, from first hand experience.
Getting Started - Needs Assessment
The authors give guidance on how practitioners can assess the psychological needs of athlete clients. Edgette and Rowan recommend that practitioners ask questions that cover four categories of information. These categories are:
1) Goal-oriented questions: What do you want?
2) Solution-focused questions: How will you know when you have it?
3) Resource retrieval questions: What resources do you need?
4) Context support questions: Who can you count on to support you?
Combining these four types of questions will help the athlete client create a well-formed outcome and guide the practitioner in designing the proper intervention. The authors include annotated transcripts from actual therapy sessions, to demonstrate the process of needs assessment in sports psychology.
Entering the Zone
At peak performance, athletes are "in the zone"---a state of heightened awareness and concentration, where movement and coordination take on a fluidity that makes the performance seem effortless. "The zone" is an eyes-open trance state that usually seems to happen by chance. The authors provide instructions on how to teach athletes to enter "the zone" at will, through hypnosis. The elements for conditioning the state are:
1) Hypnotic regression to memories of being in the zone.
2) Suggestions and metaphors that use language from the athlete's sport (i.e., a football player might want to "tackle" a problem.
3) Anchoring the state and teaching the athlete to access the state instantly and exit easily.
Edgette and Rowan include a chapter on developing "eyes-open trance" that is quite a nugget. Essentially, an eyes-open trance allows an athlete to maintain a narrow, alert, focus, while moving and talking-and ultimately, while playing the game. While reading this chapter, it occurred to me that an eyes-open trance could be useful for other types of performers such as entertainers and artists.
Applications, Methods, and Marketing
The book covers the ways in which hypnotic phenomena, such as amnesia, time distortion, age regression, age progression, dissociation, hypnotic daydreaming, and analgesia have utility in sports psychology. There is a brief chapter on hypnotic methods such as metaphor, pattern interruptions, and Steve deShazer's "miracle question."---and how these might apply to sports issues.
Chapter 10 describes a group induction that can be used for hypnotizing an entire athletic team at once---something I've not encountered before in any other similar text. This chapter consists of a transcript for hypnosis with a high school soccer team that exhorts the team to practice, maintain a positive attitude, stay with the game plan, feel energetic, and play fair, among other things. This chapter could have benefited from a discussion of the pitfalls that may occur with group hypnosis, and some of the precautions a practitioner can take when working with entire teams. Additionally, the authors could have addressed the importance of obtaining parental permission before working with minors---especially if the hypnosis is taking place on the playing field or in the locker room, and not in a therapist's office.
The final chapter in the book gives readers some brief advice on how to break into and market a sports psychology practice that features hypnosis.
About the Authors
John H. Edgette, Psy.D., is a clinical psychologist in private practice in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is Co-Director of the Milton H. Erickson Institute of Philadelphia and co-author of The Handbook of Hypnotic Phenomena in Psychotherapy. He travels internationally, giving seminars on sport psychology to both therapists and athletes.
Tim Rowan, M.S.W., maintains a clinical practice in Maryland and holds the position of Division Chair of Behavioral Sciences and Social Science and Professor of Human Services at Allegany College of Maryland. Additionally, he has been a soccer coach and football coach.
Winning the Mind Game is an easy, enjoyable read, with useful, practical information for hypnotherapists who want to venture into sports psychology. The main emphasis in this book is on Ericksonian hypnotherapy. To NLP Practitioners, the text may suffer somewhat from the omission of a host of NLP methods that could be used in sports psychology; especially those in which Bandler and Grinder and others have codified Erickson's work. For example, the authors mention twice that hypnosis has applications for athletes having post-traumatic stress disorder, but they omit to say which hypnotic methods would apply-and to NLP folk, the answer is obviously V-K Dissociation.
Winning the Mind Game is not a book that I'd name as the definitive text on hypnosis in sports psychology. Nevertheless, if you practice hypnotherapy, and you like sports, and you think you might enjoy working with athletes, then this book will give you the encouragement and inspiration that might prompt you to include sports psychology in your work.

This is to detailed and potentially wrong. Some authors e.g. from Honk Kong may want to add a Latin first name if they use one.

That's not completely true, because a document that is obsoleting another document can refer to the older one. Proposed change: "When referring to an obsoleted document, it is common practice to also refer to the most recent version as well." It is also sometimes the case that the obsoleting document references the obsoleted document.

The freedom to roam: rediscovering nature in Swedish Lapland
We didn't expect to discover a love story in Swedish Lapland.
We'd expected the endless woodlands and crisp autumnal air. We'd prepared for the frigid weather and a road trip through rugged wilderness.
We'd hoped to cross paths with herds of reindeer, and kept our fingers crossed for a cheeky early smattering of snow.
We'd even anticipated the cleverly sleek Scandinavian design and held our breath all week that the green lights of the aurora would whirl above our heads at night (spoiler: they didn't).
What we didn't bank on was that between the memories of lush forests and pristine mirrored lakes, our lasting impressions of life in the north of Sweden would be a deeply respectful, unwavering relationship.
Of the bond between Lapland's humans, and the wilds they call home.
Admittedly, we - two travellers from the warmth of 'down under', with zero experience in arctic climates - had constructed an image in our heads of what it must be like to live in such a place, mostly cobbled together via Pinterest boards full of glittering icy tundras.
We'd assumed that in this place where days are measured by how far below zero they reach, life must be difficult.
Beautiful, yes, but harsh.
That the elements were something you struggled against for two-thirds of the year, and only relished in the other third. After all, it was sculpted by an ice age and cold is still a very relative term (that is, until your eyelashes freeze).
Our assumption couldn't have been more wrong.
Ask any local here what defines them, and watch as the smile spreads infectiously across their face. Most will laugh, as though it's plainly obvious: nature, in all its elements, of course.
"You could take one breath of air up here and be full for a year," says Mikael, inhaling deep.
We're chatting in the dining room of his hotel in Pjesker, just east of Arvidsjaur Kommun, where he runs his adventure tour company Pjesker Adventure.
We're supposed to be out on the lake fishing with him today, but heavy rain is keeping us ashore for now. It's a reminder that the weather gets the ultimate say in these parts.
"Bah - it's just proof that Sweden really does have the cleanest water in the world!" he laughs at our disappointment.
He's been telling us about what's on offer on his tours, his eyes alive with excitement as he talks about his toys. There's car racing on frozen lakes, cross country skis, mountain bike and ice-fishing gear. But his (and, we think, most of the locals here) pride and joy is his collection of snowmobiles.
The thrill, he says, is the freedom of being able to drive through snowy forests, over frozen lakes, and into a wilderness normally impenetrable in the snow.
He loves the speed of them, of course, but at its heart, it's all about getting outside. They're a means to real-life experiences, to get out into nature and feel its power.
When we ask him what the best part about living here is, there's no hesitation: "nature. You have to be an outdoors person though, to enjoy the calm. This is not the place if you don't like being outside".
The forest floor is unexpectedly spongy, squelching with the damp under our feet. It's ankle-deep, a carpet of vivid colour rolling out before us.
Wild berries and mushrooms pepper the verdant lichen, while autumn biting at the leaves has transformed the trees above into matchstick flames.
It's almost unfathomable that these same woods will be laden with thick snow in just a few short months. It's also difficult to comprehend that this world exists only a few hours from the bustle and chaos of London's doorstep.
Ahead, Caroline, our guide from Sandsjogarden, loyal malamute Djanga at her side, is pointing out flora and fauna of interest around us: rowan berries (inedible until treated), lingonberries (delicious as jam), wild blueberries, yellow chanterelles.
"It's fine to pick them," she says, "but only if you just take what you need".
"Here, we leave enough berries for the birds".
It's a refreshing approach to consumerism, particularly coming from London where plastic-wrapped food can be bought and disposed of just as quickly without a second thought. As we discover, foraging and sustainability are fundamental to life in Sweden, and this won't be the last time we hear Caroline's words echoed while we're here.
A centuries-old Swedish law called Alleemansrätten ("every man's right") grants everybody the freedom to roam the forests and forage for wild fare - on the condition that nature isn't disturbed or destroyed.
It's a necessity turned cherished part of Swedish identity. Game of Thrones jokes aside, winter is coming soon, and everyone here knows that survival is dependent on looking out for each other.
It echoes the ways of the indigenous Sami people, who have roamed the Arctic region with their reindeer for thousands of years. Lapland (Sápmi in their own language) is their home, and they are its guardians.
At the essence of their rich culture is living from the land; hunting, fishing, and gathering are in their blood. But so is resourcefulness, and never wasting a skerrick of mother nature's provisions.
Most people up north hunt, fish, and grow their own produce with pride. We're taken on a tour of the Northern Lights Guesthouse owner in Harads, Annika's, veggie patch, and are surprised to see Asparagus growing so close to the Arctic Circle. She laughs and says that no one ever believes it grows up here either.
We're here at a good time actually.
Autumn is the time of in-betweens and preparations. Of pausing between tourist seasons, roaming in forests and restocking larders, readying oneself for the approaching frost.
If slow, deliberate living was a place, I think it would be Swedish Lapland in Autumn.
As two Australians who grew up enjoying 'the great outdoors', but who have called the urban sprawl of London home for the past year, being here for a week helped us rediscover how much we missed nature.
In the crunch of forest tracks and the crisp fresh air, our nature clocks were entirely reset and our minds re-balanced.
That's the beauty of a life lived under green aurora skies and the balmy glow of a midnight sun. It seems calmer, more present.
This is the kind of place where locals don't blink when traffic jams are caused by reindeer, or rain and snow wash away your plans.
It's the simple joys.
A feeling that the world is both your playground and your keeper, where the answer to every question starts with the freedom to roam.
And the best part? You and I are invited too.

Short, funny quotes about life include, "Always remember you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else" and the famous quote from the film "Forrest Gump," "Life is life a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get." Some quotes offer advice, such as Oscar Wilde's "Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won't expect it back," while others turn clichés into funnier expressions, such as Steve Martin's "A day without sunshine is like, you know, night."
The uniqueness quote, attributed to Margaret Mead, stems from observations about the human experience acquired through her career as a cultural anthropologist. As Forrest Gump discusses a box of chocolates, he refers to the variety of his life experiences, from serving in the military during wartime to becoming a single parent. While the humor behind Wilde's money retort is sourced from an author known for his sharp wit, many quotes like his focus on a specific aspect of life, such as parenting, marriage, education or money.
Several famous people are known for their quips about life, including Phyllis Diller, Mark Twain, Rodney Dangerfield, Joan Rivers and Erma Bombeck. Comedians such as George Carlin, Jerry Seinfeld and Robin Williams are especially well-known for their comedic perspectives on life.

We spend so much of our time with people, at home, at work, with friends and so on. I am finding it to be an extremely interesting exploration to see what the difference is between the state of consciousness I am in when I conduct my relationships and to compare that to the states available when alone in nature or in meditation.
What I find true for myself historically, is that when I am in the presence of others, my mind is busier and more full of itself, analyzing the other person's responses to me, forming opinions about them or planning how I might respond to them. So historically I would say that I lose contact with deep truth in relationship generally, entering a social modality where mind gets to define (and limit) the quality of the relationship.
In nature, in meditation, or even just alone in my room however, I have had for quite some time an ability to let mind take a back seat in my consciousness. This allows me to enjoy a blissful sense of life's perfectness and grace, even in the midst of troubled times. Why it is harder or secondary for me to bring this kind of realization into my everyday human relationships I am not sure, but it seems to be how it has worked.
In the past few years I have been discovering that there are some very amazing relational possibilities that I have not known about before, except maybe in relationships with spiritual teachers, which of course I considered to be in a different category altogether than my relationship with my colleagues at work for instance. My education in this began one evening when a friend and I sat down in her living-room after dinner (intending a social evening) and we both inexplicably dropped into a deeper space together than I had ever experienced on my own. For me it was completely unexpected, to find myself in the deepest meditative space of my life-so-far without having meditated. To have dropped into such an unbelievably rich and nourishing place with another person and to be sitting there talking about it, marveling out loud. Another defining thing about this was that it did not feel personal at all. It wasn't about us. It was about something far beyond the personal people who had come to it.
We were being shown something new that was possible.
This experience has continued, at first rarely but now more commonly, with new people, new explorations, meeting in person and even over the telephone. It feels as if this "relational field" is teaching us, those of us who will tune in. It also feels like we are developing a new muscle of some sort – an ability to meet each other in this deep place and let go of the reins there. In my experience so far it has been women who seem to have an easier time "dropping in" in this way for whatever reason, though I very much look forward to having these kinds of meetings with men too. I very much look forward to being able to bring this sort of relational space more and more into my daily experience too and I can feel it's movement in that direction, though I feel to be a complete beginner.
As I get more practice in this, the habit of relating in a shallow or mind-based way to the people at work or to my family or acquaintances, stands out more and more in contrast to it. It is also obvious that there are degrees of this – that how I am relating to others is not black and white. I can feel when, in an ordinary everyday conversation there is a thread of openness to this deeper relational space between us. It does not seem to need me to know the person conventionally either. While familiarity brings trust and the feeling of safety is I'm sure helpful in creating the container for this "relational field", it seems also able to show up in a word with a passing stranger. It looks like it is probably just my own mind's ideas about where it is and is not safe or possible that has busily constructed limits to it.
There is a distinct feeling of importance to this, beyond that which drove me to meditate for years, but not so different from it. It seems that this next phase of development is now about who/what we collectively are, and about what we know together from the various perspectives we collectively inhabit. It seems to be all about our ability to enter an active impersonal relational space, from which we can interact with each other in new ways according to what we see happening around us and each of our roles in it.
I would love to hear about it if you are having any experiences that are similar.

Paul Mirengoff at Powerline has this piece on Davis v. Guam and the arguments before the 9th Circuit this week:
"Therefore, Davis claims that this racial prerequisite for registering to vote violates the Fifteenth and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution, the Voting Rights Act, and other federal civil rights statutes. However, a district court ruled against him on the theory that he suffered no injury from the statute that excludes him, on racial grounds, from registering to vote because the election has not been scheduled and may not occur,
Try to imagine the reaction to this argument if it were applied to defeat the claim of a black prohibited by law from registering to vote in a prospective election due to his race.
Mr. Davis is represented by, among others, Christian Adams of the Election Law Center, Terry Pell of the Center for Individual Rights, and Doug Cox of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher. All three, I'm proud to say, are friends of Power Line. . . .
Guam tried to defend its race-based voting requirement on the theory that Guam represents a special case because its native population was never polled as to whether it wanted to become part of the United States. Chief Judge Kozinski countered that "native inhabitants" have never been polled when the United States claimed their land as American territory. In general, he seemed unconvinced by Guam's arguments."

With over 10 years experience in the interior design industry, founder and owner, Kim Edmonds, has the vision and expertise to connect her clients with art that suits their space. Starting out as an assistant to the owner of House Dressing Interior Design, Kim gained her footing in the industry. This launched her into the office of Katherine Newman Design, one of the most influential and accomplished interior design firms in the country. It is here where she learned the importance art plays in a space and how this connection can create a stimulated response to one's surroundings. After eight years of working in this inspiring office she decided to switch gears and take on the role of Director of Purchasing and Logistics at Avenue Road, Toronto's pre-eminent showroom for classic and contemporary furniture designs. However, Kim soon realized that she missed being involved in the creation of beautiful spaces, and Art Connect was born. Kim wanted to create an approachable art advisory business to help clients find pieces that suit their surroundings, work within their budget, and connect with the buyer.
Kim holds a B.A. degree in History and Political Science from the University of Toronto, as well as a diploma in Interior Design from the International Academy of Design and Technology.

Three radical Muslims who set up so-called 'Shariah law zones' in parts of London have been banned from meeting hate preacher Anjem Choudary by a judge.
Converts to Islam Royal Barnes, 23, Jordan Horner, 20, and Ricardo McFarlane, 26, were also ordered to stop pestering pedestrians who they claimed were breaching strict religious laws on dress, booze and public displays of affection.
Horner has been a presence on streets in east London for years, handing out flyers which claim that assorted neighbourhoods are caliphates under fundamentalist Muslim rule.
Similar patrols in other parts of London were roundly condemned by Muslim leaders, including one Iman whose declamation of the patrols became a web hit after he pointed out the radicals' action was "unprecedented" in Islamic history.
Barnes hit the headlines earlier this week when a video emerged of him mocking the death of British Army drummer Lee Rigby, who was hacked to death by radical Muslims in an unprecedented daylight attack in Greenwich, London, last year.
Handing the orders to the trio, Judge Timothy Pontius called the orders "essential."
At the Old Bailey he said: "With the public interest in mind and the safety of individual members of the public in particular, it seems to me essential that these orders should be granted to run for that period of time."
