How To Apply
In the first instance, please contact us for an informal discussion about your plans to train to teach. We can then offer you a half-day tailored to your requirements:
- to discuss what we can offer during your training year
- to spend time in the school environment observing teachers and students
- to help set up a 'school experience' week
- to ask all those questions that may influence your decision
If you are lacking in school experience, you should consider a place on the School Experience Programme run by the Department for Education. Again, contact us if you want to discuss this further.
You will need to register and apply using the UCAS Teacher Training portal. UCAS manages the applications to all postgraduate teacher training routes.
Applications are checked by schools in the Haybridge Alliance SCITT to make sure that necessary selection criteria are met before shortlisting is undertaken. We request two references - one of which must be an academic reference from your university. We are interested in references from your university, employers, and teaching staff from the school where you completed your 'school experience'.
We will then organise interviews as necessary with the final decision on offers being made by the school.
Applying for School-Led Training
The Department for Education came to Haybridge to make this short film with our trainees about applying for school-led training.
Entry Requirements
- GCSE grade C/4 in both English and Mathematics (or recognised equivalents)
- GCSE grade C/4 in a science subject (including Combined Science) if you are applying to teach Primary (Key Stage 1/2, ages 5-11).
- All applicants are required to hold a UK undergraduate degree, normally with a degree classification of 2:2 or higher, or a recognised equivalent international qualification certified by NARIC (National Academic Recognition Information Centre). For Secondary applicants this must be in, or closely related to, your proposed teaching subject. As a guideline we would expect to see at least 50% of your first degree relevant to the National Curriculum subject you intend to teach.
If you studied outside of the UK, you should visit the National Academic Recognition Centre (NARIC) website to find out whether your qualifications are of an equivalent level to UK GCSEs, A levels and an undergraduate degree.
Admission to the course is subject to a satisfactory medical report, as you are required to meet the standards for Fitness to Teach, and applicants must complete forms requesting an Enhanced Disclosure from the DBS.
You will pay tuition fees of £9250 to the University but if you are from the European Union you will be eligible for a student loan. If you are from the United Kingdom you can also apply for a means-tested maintenance grant and a maintenance loan.
Funding and Bursaries
You may be able to apply for generous, tax-free funding, which is available to the best graduates training in a range of subjects. You could get a £26,000 bursary or be awarded a prestigious scholarship – which provides additional support and benefits throughout your training year. Chemistry, Languages, Mathematics and Physics trainees will receive three additional early-career payments of £2000 each (or £3000 each if teaching in specified areas of England) in their second, third and fourth year of teaching , if they have taught in a state-funded school in England since completing their teacher training course. These amounts are after tax, so teachers will receive the full amount as stated.
With or without a bursary or scholarship, you could receive a tuition fee loan and maintenance loan to help fund your teacher training year. You can use the student finance calculator to estimate student loans and extra funding that may be available, for instance Parents' Learning Allowance, Childcare Grants or Child Tax Credits.
Teachers of some shortage subjects can apply for a reimbursement on their student loan payments for up to 10 academic years following the year of their qualified teacher status (QTS) award. For further information, visit Teachers' student loan reimbursement: guidance for teachers and schools; the guidance sets out full eligibility criteria, payment rates and the application process.
The prestigious maths scholarship scheme is aimed at high-quality mathematicians who are passionate about maths and numeracy. Successful applicants must have secured a Department for Education (DfE) allocated ITT training place that leads to achieved QTS status by September 2019 to be awarded a maths scholarship. Applicants also need a 2:1 (or predicted) degree, candidates with a 2:2 (or predicted) degree may be considered if they can demonstrate relevant experience. We also welcome applications from SKE applicants. A lucrative financial package worth at least £32,000 is available for successful applicants. As well as financial benefits, successful scholars will also receive additional support to enhance their subject knowledge, gain access to high-quality professional development resources and membership for 2 years of a range of mathematical professional bodies, including the IMA.
Selection Process
We offer an intensive training year which demands your full-time commitment. Our rigorous interview and selection process will help us decide whether you should train with us, and also help you decide if teaching is the career for you.

Inside Higher Ed
March 11, 2010
A constant theme of reports about math and science is that the United States will have a large enough supply of scientists only if it does a better job of attracting black and Latino scientists -- and not just relying on Asian American, white and foreign talent. Many of these reports note that large shares of black and Latino high school students don't receive the kind of preparation they should in math and science.
A new study points to another factor: the role of black college instructors in encouraging black science students to persist as science majors. The study finds a statistically significant relationship between black students who plan to be a science major having at least one black science instructor as freshmen and then sticking to their plans. The finding could be significant because many students (in particular members of under-represented minority groups) who start off as science majors fail to continue on that path -- so a change in retention of science majors could have a major impact.
At the same time, the study did not find a similar impact based on gender.
The study was released by Cornell University's Higher Education Research Institute, which is sponsoring a conference this month on this research and other studies focused on why some students are more likely than others to persist as science and mathematics majors. The research on the impact of race and gender was conducted by Joshua A. Price, a doctoral student at Cornell who in the fall will join the economics faculty at the University of Texas at Arlington.
Price analyzed data on more than 157,000 students who enrolled as first-time freshmen in one of the 13 four-year universities in Ohio between 1998 and 2002 and who said that they intended to major in science, technology or mathematics. He then examined whether those black students who had a black instructor and female students who had a female instructor were more likely to stick with their planned STEM major than those who did not. For purposes of the study, "instructor" had to be the person -- typically but not always a professor -- who was responsible for a course. A black teaching assistant working for a white professor who ran a course would not count.
In doing his analysis, Price controlled for academic preparation using ACT scores so that the students of various races and genders were compared to those who shared their race and gender characteristics as well as their level of academic preparation.
And here he found that black students who had at least one black science instructor as freshmen were statistically more likely to continue on as STEM majors than those who did not. (He tried to see if there was an additional gain by having two math or science instructors taught by black instructors, but there were too few black science instructors to allow a large enough pool of students to have taken courses from two of them.)
On the issue of female students taking STEM courses from female instructors, Price found that these students were slightly less likely than others to continue as STEM majors, but the decline was so small that it was not statistically significant. He found no impact on the persistence rates of white students who took a course with a black instructor or male students who took a course with a female instructor.
One other finding was that black STEM students were more likely than white students to end up in STEM courses or sections led by black instructors, again suggesting a key role for these black science professors. Price writes in his study that he tried to control for this by factoring in the overall odds of students ending up with black and white instructors.
In the paper, Price writes that while previous studies have found positive educational benefits for minority students having same-race teachers in elementary and secondary schools, this paper goes further than other previous research in higher education. "These results suggest that policies to increase the minority representation among faculty members might be an effective means of increasing the representation of minorities who persist and ultimately graduate within STEM fields," he writes.
In an interview, Price said that much more research was needed before trying to base public policy on these or similar findings. He said that there are some key questions that still need to be explored that could have an impact on any policies. He said, for example, that the impact of having a black instructor could come from a "role model effect" or from a mentoring effect.
If the impact is from role models, it would be essential to have more black scientists around -- even if students aren't enrolled in their courses, they might benefit from seeing black professors, he said. If, however, the impact is from black instructors being better mentors of black students, that would raise questions of whether all professors could be taught to be better mentors to black students.
He also said that he was not sure his findings on women should be seen as questioning the need to hire more female scientists. He said that some recent research about the impact of instructor gender on students suggests that the greatest impact of same-gender instructors is on high-achieving female students, and he said his pool did not have enough differentiation to see if there was more of an impact on this group of students.

Apple buys artificial intelligence startup Emotient: WSJ
An Apple logo is seen inside the Apple Store in Palo Alto, California November 13, 2015. Reuters/Stephen Lam <span class="focusParagraph articleLocation">Apple Inc bought Emotient Inc, an artificial intelligence startup that reads people's emotions by analyzing facial expressions, the Wall Street Journal reported. The report did not specify the financial terms of the deal. The tech giant's plans for Emotient were not immediately clear, the Journal reported, confirming the news with an Apple spokeswoman. Emotient's software reads the expressions of individuals and crowds to gain insights that can be used by advertisers to assess viewer reaction or a medical practitioner to better understand signs of pain in patients.

text: After I finished my scarf, I decided to try my hands at knitting up a cabled bag inspired by this craftster post and this site. I only had US 15's, 7's and 8's to choose from so I went with 15's. I made mine a little bigger and it was super quick to knit up on the plane. Now I just need to stick some dowels in there. Umm how do I do this? I would have tried getting handles or casting on somehow on the dowels, but since I was in a plane I had, umm, no "access" to these goodies. So I just knitted…so now how do I place the dowels in it? Do I just slide them in between the stitches? I have the leftover dowel from the HP bag, so I can cut it to size, but I'm just not sure how to go about it. I still have to seam and line it and I'll write up what I did after I'm all done.

Penguin launches books in Hindi (NDTV)
"Hoping to expand their publishing base, leading English-language publishers Penguin have launched a new and ambitious publishing programme in Hindi and other Indian languages.
"The Hindi list includes Hamara Hissa, an anthology of stories by well known writers like Kamleshwar, Rangeraghav, Mamta Kalia and Mridula Garg, translations of Khushwant Singh's bestselling Paradise and Other Stories, Anita Nair's Ladies Coupe and Namita Gokhale's Shakuntala.
""This is a very significant day for us. For the first time in our history we are publishing outside the English language. Bestsellers in the English language will now be available to more people," said John Makinson, CEO, Penguin Worldwide.
Also simultaneously launched in English and Hindi was writer Namita Gokhale's new novel, Shakuntala or Smriti Jaal set on the ghats of Kashi.
"Though I am basically an English writer, there are certain words certain feelings which you can express with one word in Hindi but you need several statements in English. There is always a feeling of incompleteness when one's books are only in English," said Namita Ghokhale."

Challenges: Both Laurel Office Park I & III properties were returned to their respective lenders in 2010. At the time, combined occupancy for both assets was 41%. The properties suffered from a lack of attention including outdated lobbies and common area finishes, overgrown landscaping and a facade in need of repainting.
Solutions: Friedman designed a complete lobby, common area and landscaping renovation plan which was executed within the first 90 days of being awarded this assignment. Following its completion, an intensive marketing campaign ensued to reposition the asset as a newly renovated property with aggressive lease rates.
Results: Due to the new "look and feel" of the properties and aggressive marketing tactics, Friedman was able to secure three new lease transactions within the first 60 days after completion of the renovations and in total was able to procure nearly 115,000 square feet of new leasing and expansions and retained the majority of tenants who were on month-to-month terms or about to expire. The overall occupancy has since increased to almost 73%.
Recently added tenants include: Market Place Homes, Magdich & Associates and Pet Supplies Plus, the third largest pet specialty retailer in the United States with 257 stores in 23 states, who relocated their national headquarters to Laurel Office Park III in 2012.

I am thinking of calling my parents again just to talk but I still feel guilty for using too much minutes for international calls that I just have to suppress this desire and wait until I really have to call them which may be in a week. Hubby said it is fine but I don't want to abuse his kindness or I will feel guiltier still because I promised him not to stay too long on the phone. But when I talk to my parents I forget the promise I made more to myself than to hubby and would talk for over an hour. I just can't help it. Or maybe I can. I don't know. All I know is it is hurting me to see the huge bill we have to pay every month on international calls. Save me!

Today, in an all new session of THE READING ROOM, we are going to review 'Because Life is a Gift' by Disha
He is ten years old and confined to a wheelchair. But that's not his identity. To the world, he is India's youngest patent holder for inventing variants of chess for six, twelve and sixty players.
Have you heard of the Army Major who was declared dead in the Kargil war, but is India's first blade runner today?
Do you think a woman without hands can be one of India's leading painters?
What is the first thought that comes to your mind when you see a differently-abled person? Pity? Sympathy?
The real-life success stories of fifteen differently-abled people charted in Because Life is a Gift will make you think otherwise. You will sense pride replace all feelings of pity and sympathy for they have fought against all odds to achieve their dreams.
This book is a tribute to their courage, passion and zest for life. They will challenge your notion of the impossible. They will inspire you to live life to the fullest, because life is truly a gift.
'Because Life is a gift' is the second book by Disha after 'My Beloved MBA Plans'. The blurb which is completely different from any currently available books by Indian authors and the genre which is motivation grows my interest in the book. I haven't read her first book and have no clue about her narrating style or plot framing style.
The Cover looks fresh and goes with the name wonderfully. But after reading the whole book, I would say it could have been designed in a more significant manner which would have gone with the content better. The name though goes with the book perfectly. At every chapter of the book the readers will realize that indeed life is a gift.
Very often we become depressed in our life and seek motivation in spiritual lectures, inspiring movies or in biographies of our heroes. This book has it all. This book is the story of many heroes who have fought against the back-stabbing society, against the abnormal circumstances, against their annoying fates and have come out with flying colors. This book has stories of fifteen unrecognized heroes, who have refuse to succumb to their disabilities and made their way to happen wonders. The author has done a wonderful job by compiling these stories in one single book which will not only help the disabled people but will change our view towards them. Kudos to the author for keeping it simple and straight without giving it a visible fictional touch and injecting their own words in the exact places. The author has also described her view and what should our society do, which will help spread the awareness.
The narrating style is good and simple. The author has totally concentrated on touching the reader's heart about the tale of the heroes and succeeded. There were a few grammatical and typos but that won't catch the reader's attention because they will be busy with the unbelievable stories of the differently-abled people. I appreciate the author for the research she have done for penning down such a book and for attempting to switch the lime light to those who needed it the most. I wish we have more this kind of books which will motivate the mass with real life stories of common men. A must read for all.
My rating: 4.5/5

|Ben Meinholz and the UW-La Crosse Eagles grounded the UW-Whitewater Warhawks in the WIAC opener for both teams on Wednesday night.
UW-La Crosse athletics photo
Conference play began in the WIAC where UW-La Crosse knocked off No. 11 UW-Whitewater and resumed in the CCIW where Carthage dumped No. 10 North Park. In the NJAC, No. 19 Ramapo survived a scare at Rutgers-Camden but No. 23 New Jersey City was less fortunate at Montclair State.
- Wednesday scoreboard: Men | Women
- Wednesday news releases: Men | Women
- Around the Atlantic: Ramapo seeks consistency
- Around the South: Khory Moore grows into star for Virginia Wesleyan
UW-Whitewater ripped through its non-conference season without any trouble, going 11-0 with all but one win decided by double-digits. Conference play will prove tougher, and the Warhawks lost to defending champions UW-La Crosse 82-68. The Eagles (9-3, 1-0 WIAC) seized control for good on a 13-3 run midway through the first half that was keyed by reserve Sean Wheeler scoring seven points in less than two minutes. Wheeler finished with just those seven points, but Ben Meinholz notched 16 points, seven rebounds and six assists for La Crosse. The Warhawks (11-0, 0-1 WIAC) scored 48 of their 68 points in the paint.
No. 17 UW-River Falls pulled out a one-point win at home over No. 7 UW-Eau Claire on Alex Herink's three-pointer with 13 seonds left. Eau Claire took the lead in the closing minutes when George Diekelman poked the ball away from the Falcons on an entry pass and started a fast break finished by Chris Duff's layup. The Blugolds missed a chance to extend the lead from the free throw line and Herink tried a hook shot on the Falcons' ensuing possession that was knocked away. River Falls called time out and set up an inbounds pass to Herink who hit a well-defended three from the corner, just in front of River Falls' bench. Eau Claire failed to get a good look on its last possession and the Falcons celebrated the 60-59 win.
Herink finished with 23 points on 9-for-17 shooting for River Falls (11-1, 1-0 WIAC). Josh Weix led Eau Claire (10-2, 0-1 WIAC) with 17 points.
No. 10 North Park dropped its second straight CCIW contest at home as Carthage topped the Vikings 82-76 in Chicago. The Red Men shot 55 percent (16-for-29) and outscored North Park 48-32 in the second half. Mike Stevenson tallied 18 points and 12 rebounds for Carthage (9-3, 3-1 CCIW) which moved into a tie for first place with Augustana. Those Vikings won 82-71 at North Central (Ill.) as four Augustana starters scored double-figures.
Two NJAC teams entered the Top 25 this week and both struggled on Wednesday night. No. 19 Ramapo trailed winless Rutgers-Camden by 20 points at the half but rallied for a 94-86 victory. Sultan Aminu and Christopher Mosely scored 15 points apiece for the Roadrunners (12-0, 6-0 NJAC). No. 23 New Jersey City wasn't as fortunate as the Gothic Knights lost at Montclair State 48-46. The two teams shot a combined 31 percent from the field (29-for-94), including 24 percent from three (10-for-42). Box score
The rest of the Top 25 had an easier time, including top ranked Babson. The Beavers romped over Emerson 100-76 in the conference opener for both teams. Nick Comenale and Isaiah Nelson combined for 48 points on 20-for-26 shooting. Elsewhere in the NEWMAC Jake Ross continued his case for freshman of the year as he dropped 29 points in Springfield's 71-63 win over WPI.
Division III's top-scoring player (Ty Sabin) took on the second-highest scoring team in the country (Grinnell), and the result was a relatively pedestrian win for Ripon, 98-82. Sabin finished with 16 points, less than half of his 32.4 average entering the night. The Pioneers scored 45 points below their 127.7 season average.
St. Thomas moved one-game back of Bethel in the MIAC as the Tommies topped the Royals 83-74 on the road. John Veil set career-highs with 27 poins and 12 assists for St. Thomas (8-3, 4-2 MIAC). The Tommies held Bethel (9-2, 5-1 MIAC) to one field goal and five points in the game's final six minutes.
Daniel Noe's three-pointer from the top of the key lifted Randolph-Macon to a victory over Virginia Wesleyan, 67-63. Noe scored 20 points for the Yellow Jackets (7-5, 3-0 ODAC). Guilford kept pace with a 73-57 win at home over Roanoke.
Tony Canonie's driving layup with a second left gave Calvin a 66-64 win over Trine and Kevin Vande Streek his 400th career victory as the Knights' head coach. Vande Streek has 481 career victories including his wins at Division II Sioux Falls.
Conference play opened in the MAC Freedom where defending champions Delaware Valley pulled away from King's 74-64. On the other side of the MAC, Lebanon Valley snapped Lycoming's nine game winning streak by beating the Warriors 80-72 in Williamsport.

You won't believe these weird things – naturally
Hoaxes abound in natural history, but is there a limit to what people would accept?
Temptation shook him as a terrier shakes a rat. A line from one of the great Modesty Blaise thrillers, and I had precisely that experience as I worked on my current book, which is sort of a journey across the animal kingdom. (It won't be out for ages, so this isn't a plug.) But I thought: wouldn't it be fun to join one of the great traditions of natural history and to slip in a hoax or two?
Hoaxes abound in natural history. The most famous is the Piltdown Man, but there are plenty of others. The Cardiff Giant was a 10ft petrified man "found" in Cardiff, New York State. There have been fabulous new species of butterflies, carefully painted by hoaxers. And just a…

And just like that, they were a major label band...this EP was initially released as a promotional item for the soon-to-be-released Uncle Anesthesia LP. The EP had a nice picture sleeve and contained one song that was unavailable elsewhere, along with an alternate version of the title track. After the album came out, Epic released a 3-song promotional 12" version with a completely different set of tracks. This one had two more tracks that were otherwise never released. It did not have a picture sleeve; instead, it came in a standard black cutout sleeve with a label on it. The 3-song version is much harder to find than the 4-song version. Both versions were also released on CD.

Remember when we told you everyone is chugging five cups of coffee a day? Ya know, for their health?
Well, in addition to staving off a bunch of ailments (like melanoma, Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, liver disease, Parkinson's disease, colon cancer, prostate cancer and Alzheimer's), a new study from the Harvard School of Public Health just showed a strong association between drinking coffee...
We kid, we kid. The association, though, is between drinking coffee and living longer. And that is no joke.
Evidently, the researchers found that people who drank three to five cups of coffee per day (even decaf) had about a 15 percent lower risk of premature mortality compared with people who didn't drink coffee at all. For now, there are no direct reasons why this is the case (since so many other lifestyle variables are in play). But anyone who appreciates a cup (or seven) will tell you that the simple act of taking a break and enjoying something delicious does wonders for your stress levels.
Cheers to your longer (albeit slightly buzzed) life.

Radical shopping ban for school kids
Fed up with episodes of organised theft, a retailer in Broken Hill's main street has decided to ban unaccompanied children from his shop during school hours.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
Bicycle shop operator Rickie Cooper hopes the radical move will not just prevent shoplifting but also encourage kids to return to the classroom.
He's even suggested the mindset of Broken Hill's youth has deteriorated to the point where a form of national service should be considered for wayward youngsters.
"I honestly believe that we should be bringing - not so much national service to send them away to fight for the country - but national service to teach them how to be and how to grow up and to look after themselves and respect themselves," a frustrated Mr Cooper said.
"They have got no respect for adults and they've got no respect for their parents.
"The youth of today - to get them to go and help somebody is not happening ... I don't know where we are going with it," Mr Cooper added.
The victim of nine break-ins during 20 years of operating his Argent Street bicycle shop, Mr Cooper explained other frustrated retailers were considering following suit.
"I've spoken to other shop owners and they have said they have a lot of trouble with kids who come in and want to distract you and take things.
"Everyone's got the problem and I think and we just have to address it and I'm going to start it," a frustrated Mr Cooper added.
"Any child that comes into my shop that should be at school between the hours of 9 o'clock and 3.30, I'll just say; 'I'm sorry, I won't serve you'.
"If they come in with a parent or an adult then I will serve them.
"But if they should be at school and they're not, they'll just have to come back after (school) hours because I'm just not going to serve them," Mr Cooper continued.
A crippling rise in the cost of living which forces many families to have both parents working is contributing to youngsters being unsupervised and left to their own devices according to Mr Cooper.
"Now that everything has gone up in price the mother and father have to be at work and I don't think they spend a lot of time with their children anymore," Mr Cooper lamented.
"It's not everyone, I understand that.
"I would just like to see them at school - I'd like to be able to do my job and do it professionally; I don't want them coming in every 10 minutes trying to set me up and playing jokes."
Disturbing trend emerges
A disturbing trend of young teenagers operating in gangs with premeditated shoplifting plans has sparked Mr Cooper's decision.
"There are two or three groups that are very well organised and I know who they are," Mr Cooper revealed.
"One particular group will push the door open and hope the buzzer doesn't go off and sneak underneath (the buzzer) when I'm out the back working on bikes.
"The other group, they send one lad in and he'll ask to see a bike out the back and while you are out there the doorbell rings and they run in very quickly and grab what they want off the shelves and leave very quickly," Mr Cooper continued.
The move is a last roll of the dice for a frustrated Mr Cooper who says he is unconcerned that his decision could have a negative impact on his bottom line.
"I just think it needs to be done," Mr Cooper said.
"If I have to close the shop because I'm losing money because of it, well, so be it.
"I'm prepared to do that."
A father of one and grandfather to youngsters aged 14, 13 and four; Mr Cooper was quick to add that not all Broken Hill youngsters were a problem.
"Don't get me wrong, there are some wonderful kids out there," he said.
"I know a lot of parents that have got absolutely beautiful kids, well mannered, polite children that come into the shop and it's 'Mr Cooper' and they have got respect.
"But there's a big gap between the good ones and the ones that have got no respect."

Scratches easy and finish is dull, not polished as seen in photo
I just bought this ring for my son for his birthday. He loves it and is very happy with it. He was worried when he read the other reviews saying that the engravings were too light, but that is not so with his ring. He is perfectly happy with it!
I have a couple of one rings, but none are as unique as this one! Love it
Such a cool idea. My young son loves it!
I purchased this ring for myself. I love it. The design is great even though the inscription around the ring is faint.
I lost my wedding band MONTHS ago, and this turned out to be the PERFECT replacement. Not only does it look and feel similar to my old one, but the elvish is elegant and appeals to my enjoyment of things fantasy while reminding me of my covenants with not only my wife, my God as well.

|European farmland bird distribution explained by remotely sensed phenological indices.
|BUCHANAN Graeme, M.; OLSVIG-WHITTAKER Linda; CHERLET Michael; IVITS-WASSER Eva
|ENVIRONMENTAL MODELING & ASSESSMENT vol. Volume 16 no. 4 p. 385-399

|Articles in periodicals and books
|Birds are important components of biodiversity conservation since they are capable of indicating changes in the general status of wildlife and of the countryside. The Pan-European Common Bird Monitoring Scheme (PECBM) has been launched by the BirdLife Partnership in Europe, where the European Bird Census Council has been collecting data from 20 independent breeding bird survey programs across Europe over the last 25 years. These data show dramatic declines in European farmland birds. We suggest that seasonal characteristics of vegetation cover derived from high temporal resolution remote sensing images could facilitate the monitoring the suitability of farmland bird habitats, and that these indicators may be a better choice for monitoring than climate data. We used redundancy analysis to link the PECBM data of the estimated number of farmland birds in Europe to a set of phenological and climatic indicators and to the biogeographic regions of Europe. Variance partitioning was used to account for the variation explained by the phenological and climate variables and by the area of the environmental strata individually, to define the pure effect of the variables, and to extract the total explained variance. The analysis revealed high statistical significance (p<0.001) of the correlations between species and environment. Phenological indices explained 38% of the variance in community composition of the 23 farmland bird species, whereas climate explained 30% of the variance. After partitioning the other variables as covariables, the pure effect of phenology, climate, and environmental strata were 16%, 8%, and 16%, respectively. Based on the probability results, we suggest that phenological indicators derived from remote sensing may supply better indicators for continental scale biodiversity studies than climate only. In addition, these indicators are cost and time effective, are on continuous scale, and are readily repeatable on a large spatial coverage while supplying standardized results.

CSSS*: Week 6—Geography Week
I think my biggest mistake with Geography Week was making it too much like school. There was not a lot of excited camper participation this week. I had intended to teach my guys a little bit about the layout of the United States and then have them mark our vacation route on a map. I was hoping that remembering the map marking would distract them from the fact that they were buckled down in a minivan for 12 hours today.
But my fatal error? Starting Geography Week with the west coast. Unfortunately we never made it far enough east to get anywhere near our vacation route.
I started with a map of the United States that I printed out, taped together, and then cut apart.
My plan was to teach them all a few facts about several states each day. Please note in the photo below how Sam looks super excited. Or not.
After we learned about our daily states, we drew something unique to each state on the cut outs. See Sam working industriously at the task at hand? See Jack working industriously at...Lego building? See Quinn...nowhere to be found?
After Sam and I drew our pictures, we taped the states to the wall with the intent of having the entire United States up there by week's end.
Cute idea, huh? Sam drew his aunts and cousins in New Mexico, where they live; and himself in California, where he was born. I drew Hoover Dam in Nevada; a gold miner in Montana; and myself in Utah, where I was born. And so on.
The next day we added six more states. I'm particularly proud of my Mount Rushmore. And I love Sam's Texas roadrunner.
And that's as far as we got. Evidently our United States consists entirely of the West. Oh well. It's better than nothing, right?
Fortunately our Little Passports came in the mail this week, so we expanded Geography Week to include the rest of the world. Or at least Brazil.
We also got our awesome package from Whirlwind. So Thursday we put our own package together to send back to her place.
Sam even drew an entirely not geography-related picture.
Rainbows are his specialty.
Oh well. Fortunately we have a couple weeks of vacation to take a breather from camp. I'm going to have to step up my game for our next go-round.

That is the BEST half a map I have ever seen. You look particularly beautiful in Utah.ReplyDelete
I particular enjoy the pile of poo in North Dakota. That's sort of how I remember the state from back when I lived at Minot Air Base.ReplyDelete
I'm a little hurt you didn't draw me in Minnesota. Or even finish Minnesota.
Oh, and on another note? That little piece of info I gave you in my last email? It may have been wrong. In fact, I'm pretty positive it was.
Next time you're at the library, get them THE SCRAMBLED STATES OF AMERICA (and the equally silly sequel). Not the most academic of tomes, but one of my younger sons all-time faves.ReplyDelete
Have fun on vacation!
I love ... LOVE that map! Thanks for the inspiration.ReplyDelete
It's too bad your boys weren't so into your map. I absolutely love it. What a great idea!ReplyDelete

I also love the map activity - truly!ReplyDelete
(also, who knew that the badlands were so... bad, and that George Washington had an ipod.) that's kidding, sort of.
Geography, not something I even remember learning about in school, although I'm sure I must have. So I really like your state cut-outs and drawing special stuff on each one. Maybe I would have remembered it if we did stuff like that.ReplyDelete
Ah well, you were on quite a roll with Camp Stimey running splendidly! Guess the campers ran out of steam but I do love your map idea!ReplyDelete
Your kids might like Rocknoceros' song, The United States of America, that you can listen to for free on their website: www.rocknoceros.com It's a huge hit in our house! :)
Safe travels!
What a fun activity! I like the idea of highlighting each state and pieceing it back together. Have a great vacation!ReplyDelete
We got the box today - thanks!ReplyDelete
The girls (Meenie and Moe) promptly grabbed a strawberry shortcake doll and asked that we watch the accompanying DVD. I hid the pens (mine!) and then they decided to try and poke each other's eye out with the ribbon wands. The flash cards are great and the straws are already horded!
Have a great vacation. I have to go illustrate a book (that is so cool - where did you find that?).
You gotta admit, thats a lot of states to do in just a week! You need, like, a whole geography MONTH! But it is a very cool map!ReplyDelete
I LOVE the map idea...even if your campers weren't quite as thrilled. Have a fabulous vacation!ReplyDelete
I have no idea what you wrote because I noticed we have the same table cloth, when I tried to remember where I had purchased the table cloth I became hopelessly distracted with figuring out if it was at Steinmart or Tuesday Morning.ReplyDelete
I have the matching napkins BTW.

Special operators are particular about almost everything in their life, from the kind of beer they drink to the gear they take into combat. Are they just as picky about their coffee?
Special operations personnel are tasked with our nations most important missions. They traverse the world's most inhospitable terrain, going days without sleep, and going further and faster while doing it. It truly takes a special breed to operate the human body at such extremes, but it would be a fool's statement to say they did it without the help of gallons of caffeine.
Of course energy drinks and chewing tobacco are common fare in a SOF unit, but the consumption of coffee is on another level. Of course it's the perfect drink prior to a midnight raid. But it's also the perfect companion for the drudgery of the post-mission slew of after action reviews, SSE debriefs, and weapons cleaning. How do these elite operators like their coffee though? I reached out to veterans of every corner of the special operations world to find out.
Army Rangers are known for their physical prowess and insatiable appetite for the hardest training and even harder combat missions. Nic Smith, a former squad leader in 1st Ranger Battalion, said that he likes his brew "Strong, Dark, and black like my soul." As a professional door kicker, his philosophy on how strong he likes his coffee was no surprise either: "If it ain't got a kick, it ain't worth drinkin'!" said Smith, leaving no doubt that Rangers don't like the weak stuff.
For those who serve in the Army's Special Forces, commonly known as 'Green Berets', it's all about efficiency. Dan, a former NCO in the 7th Special Forces Group, said, "I drink black, cold brew coffee. I like it that way so I can drink it fast, and I can make it in large amounts in advance." Anyone who has tried to drink a hot cup of coffee in a hurry can definitely validate Dan's more intelligent approach to coffee on the go.
When you become a Recon Marine, you know you'll spend months aboard a ship traveling all over the world. Baz Khan, a veteran of the 1st Force Reconnaissance Company, has let his taste in coffee be influenced by his travels. "I am partial to Hawaiian Kona coffee from my time there in 3rd Marines." Of course, like the other operators I interviewed, he still likes his coffee dark, saying, "I take it black as night and strong as I can get it."
Coffee has often been cited as the lifeblood of the Navy. It's no surprise that the Navy's elite SEALs have a considerable reverence for a strong cup. Walt Shumate, a former SEAL from the west coast-based Team 1, fondly remembers a trip with a fellow team guy to a nearby coffee shop. "Funniest story I've ever heard was with another team guy at a Starbucks. The barista said they had hundreds of types of coffee, and asked what type we preferred. He said, 'Do you have any shitty Navy coffee? I need the spoon to stand straight up, when I stir it!'"
Finally, we have the Air Force. Although they regularly endure good-natured ribbing about the Air Force's notoriously good accommodations, they have some of the most well trained operators found in SOCOM. Nate, a former Combat Controller, admits that what he drinks depends on whether he's at work or not: "Around the boys I drink it black, but I'm an in the closet user of hazelnut corn syrup." Nate's unique assignments eventually led him to another source of caffeine though: "When I did my tour with the Brits, they absolutely loved their tea so I became a Tetley fiend. I now understand why the Brits have horrible teeth, they put so much sugar in their tea!"

Hello Lovely Snow Bunnies! Snow Day today! I'm working from home and watching the Say Yes to the Dress marathon. I love wedding dresses; I love that they are so unique for every bride and, when the dress is perfect, match the bride's personality to a tee. Joanna Goddard posted dresses about a month ago from Elizabeth Dye--and I fell madly in love with her style. Mind you, there's no wedding in site for this Lovely, but who says I can't search for gorgeous dress styles? Check out my two favorite styles from Dye's store, The English Dept, located in Portland, Oregon. I absolutely love her delicate details (man, I love those sleeves on the Honeychurch!) and ethereal romanticism to all her dresses. I'm also loving the names she chooses for her work! Honeychurch and Beatrix (from her 2010 collection) make me think of English gardens, cottages in the woods, and simple and romantic outside weddings!

Up at 5.30am yippee! Backwards jet lag rules. Time to go get some noodles.
"Wo lu cha." I add to my order. Definitely ordered green tea. Got no green tea. Must be the pronunciation. Oh well, I pop into Costa coffee on the way to the bank anyway, though at Y24 for a coffee it's more expensive than the UK. The time of writing was two weeks after the whole: Post-Brexit pound crash and I only got Y8 to the pound.
I'm wired when I enter the bank and ask to open an account, all seems well until the teller tells me that I don't have the right kind of visa. Fuck. I was sure that having a Chinese bank account would be better than paying the £7 per transaction fee my bank demands from me like some 16th century tax collector.
It's ok I'll just carry this huge bag of money around with me (roughly £3000 in cash) like a mother kangaroo, until I get mugged or spend it all on overprices coffee. Off to The Bund. This is Shanghai's London South Bank, though the skyscrapers are far more impressive.
If you catch the giant statue of General Lord Mao, God of communism, at just the right angle, he looks over the water at the Pearl TV tower, which, at this particular angle, combines with two domed shaped glass auditoriums, to create the biggest phallic object on the planet. Well done Shanghai Town Planning, I might visit your museum later for some more future lols.
As I stroll down this surpassingly vast and open walkway, I absorb the sights and the UV rays this great city has to offer, walking endlessly without finding a bridge to cross over to Pudong. There is a tourist tunnel that you have to pay for, but it's apparently the tackiest thing on earth, and I don't want to do that. No I want to get sunburn and heat stroke, stubbornly walking down river. There are no bridges…looks like the jokes on me this time Town Planning.
Surely a tropical rainstorm will cool things down? What's that, it makes it hotter? How is that possible? I'm playing ticket machine roulette at shanghai train station. There are ten or so ticket machines, but every time I get to the front of the queue, the ticket machine breaks down and I join the back of the neighbouring queue.
The poor repairman works tirelessly, jumping from machine to machine, sometimes multiple being down at once. It's like some strange kind of arcade game, or this guy's own personal hell. The crowds all yell at him and he shushes them. This happens five or six times before I get my ticket.
The rooftop bar at the Phoenix Hostel isn't bad, or so it seems as the sun sets behind the spikey purple wizard tower on the high-rizon. Beer in Shanghai is expensive and the barman clearly has never poured a pint before.
"Would you like me to do it?" I ask and he is more than pleased. I pour the perfect pint and take it for myself, allowing the newly schooled gentleman to pour the one for the lady. It seems that the ladies in my room, plus several others are all going to Hainan to teach some undefined English culture to a school tomorrow. I enquire further.
"So the twenty of you are all being put up in a hotel for two weeks and you're getting paid for teaching these kids?"
"Yea, pretty much." explains Georgia, my sexy roommate who walks around in a bra and hot-pants all the time. Drool. She's actually really adventurous and interesting too. Shame she's leaving tomorrow.
"This school must be rich." I reply.
"Well it's a summer school, so I assume it's for kids with rich parents who want their children to do well." I bloody well hope so, or else this is the worst case of unsustainable voluntourism I've ever seen. At least it's not as bad as Africa.
We all go for dinner down the Nanging road, which is lit up like Christmas, a mix of classy and tacky giant billboards and flashing neon. The guidebook describes it as a combination of Time Square and Oxford Street, and I'm inclined to agree, though it is much quieter (at this hour) and more spacious. The wide, smooth pedestrian pathway cuts down towards the river, splicing through ritzy department stores and, of course, an M&M World.
The one thing that I am surprised not to see however, are street performers. I thought it would be brimming with them, but there are none. How odd. Perhaps the yoke of communism has kept them off the streets. Ironically this is the one place I would actually quite like to see them. Never mind.
"Seven ladies?!" exclaims a helpful woman whom I am enlisting to find us a bar.
"Eight is the lucky number." I wink and she laughs wholeheartedly. Unlike touts in other places, she is genuinely friendly and helpful, not asking a penny for her troubles, and leads us to a nondescript dive bar just off the main fair.
There is a bar, a few tables, a pool table, and a small stage, where it looks like dreams go to die. When we enter, the owner looks puzzled and immediately changes the giant TV screen to play an endless stream of Lady Gaga videos, presumably for our pleasure. I manage to wrangle us some shisha for free from our Senegalese interpreter. He is a cool guy who looks like he's getting some sort of side deal in translating for us, but once again, he is genuinely helpful and asks for nothing in return.
The girls are impressed.
"Ask and ye shall receive." (a dive bar) I say.
The girls and I converse over the loud music and our statutory one drink. I try to liven things up with some games, but they all seem set on going to bed early. Once our one drink is done I ask for the bill and of course there are a couple of minor discrepancies, but they are very apologetic about this and sort it out.
"Where the fuck did these rabbits come from?" I ask when we get back to the hostel rooftop bar. "How could I not have noticed these before?"
"Yea they're getting a larger pen soon, apparently." explains Brit the Machine, a party loving northern girl from our group.
"They're so fluffy, they must be sweltering. I'm sweating just in a T-shirt." They seem highly inappropriate pets to keep on a rooftop in a tropical country.
Let's sum up today's purchases:
- Breakfast: Y20, though it was the biggest noodle soup / omelette / steamed buns ever
- Coffee: Y24
- A train ticket: Y3
- Ice cream: Y24
- Dinner: Y30
- Tea with dinner: Y49…really?
- A beer: Y30
There are some lessons to be learned here about relativity here. It seems anything that's considered imported, such as coffee and beer (or Chinese tea?) is ten times the price it should be. I think Einstein would roll over in his grave if he read this.
If you find my ramblings interesting, why not follow the blog? I've got 120 more days of farcical comedy and adventure on the way. As always feel free to comment and share your stories. Thanks for reading.

Dress lengths will plummet to the floor, and rise to the occasion to reveal lots of leg. We like that Ankara style has is gaining such a wide acceptance Worldwide, even amongst American celebrities – just like the Danshiki fashion from Africa is also gaining popularity in the USA. These can be something garments, make-up, shoes, accessories, and so on, becoming created common by style houses, model, actors and actresses. Brogues and Oxfords are where it is at. Other than that, there is not actually a complete lot a lot more to say on the matter, other than that two-toned wingtips are your ideal bet if you happen to be shooting for the snazziest of snazz in classic gangster style.
Spring of 2012 has a lot of style trends to mix and match for workplace and evening. In addition, you can put on wedge sneakers for the times you want to add some additional height to your outfit but do not want to put on standard pumps or high-heeled footwear. In our fashion business, we have a multitude of lovely African print styles. Uncheck the box labeled In no way let sites to request your physical place if it really is already checked. The renowned Hollywood costume designer Edith Head based her creations for Grace Kelly in the film Rear Window the new style.
The classic style is effortless to be modest in, as long as you watch very carefully when you acquire clothing. It's important to emphasize a fundamental principle of style for the older man: It is a million times much better to be more than-dressed than under-dressed. These who really like style and really like to experiment are the creators of new designs that trend on the streets daily. You can put on your skirts, your pink and your higher heels, but you are less trendy then a person in a leisure suit and you will want to grow some balls if you want to wear a skirt, otherwise you will devote all of your time crying about how ignorant everyone is. As considerably as you can complain about people's views, you will not be able to stroll away from the reality that you are a fashion disaster of epic proportions.
Johnny Depp rocks, but I consider he might have borrowed his style sense from me. Ssshhh don't tell any individual. In a Dior with Chopard jewelry at the Young Fashion Designer: LVMH Prize 2017 edition occasion at Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris. Buttons – As ladies began entering the workforce in the course of the war effort, fashion started to get a lot more expert-hunting. I enjoyed your fashion guidelines for girls over 50. You certainly know a lot about fashion. Some folks in the name of freedom of style proclaim that a individual need to be in a position to wear what ever they like, wherever they like.
There are many used books on historic costume obtainable for obtain online, typically utilized for bargain prices. As for the reduce, the dresses of this style are far better sewn flared or with a cost-free reduce. I don't know if I'd go as far as to regarded as it a vintage look" (certainly they are not that out of style), but there's definitely a vintage-esque good quality about it. Street fashion declares a main value in the fashion planet as street style is style that is designed by the individuals.

On December 14, the FCC will consider and vote on Chairman Ajit Pai's "Restoring Internet Freedom" proposal, which would reclassify internet service — now considered a Title II "utility" — as an "information service." The proposal, which is expected to pass on a party-line 3-2 vote, would end a 2015 policy known as "net neutrality," and give internet service providers significantly more power over what their customers do on the internet and how they access it.
Pai, his Republican allies, and the telecom industry promise that this will allow the internet to flourish and stimulate investment in broadband internet infrastructure. Critics and experts argue, however, that this policy change will simply remove the FCC-imposed barriers that prevent telecoms from abusing their power over the content and services delivered over their networks.

It's official! Today when I went to check the mailbox, I found what I have been waiting for this past several weeks – the brand spanking new 400-page Baker Creek Heirloom seed catalog!
If you haven't yet ordered your copy, I urge you to. It was only $5, and it has absolutely everything you could have ever hoped for in a seed catalog. It's all non-GMO, heirloom, and beautiful!
I've only just cracked it open and so far I am amazed. They have included so much about what they do, who they are, and the lot. I assure you it will be well worth the money if you buy a copy.
For those of you who don't take the opportunity to buy this catalog, they still offer their free catalog; but I must warn you, they only print 300,000 copies and they mail them quick, so be fast!
Here's a link for those of you who would like to get the big catalog:
