Join: EDUC 654 Teaching and Assessing Writing with the 6-Traits (100% Online)
If we are going to teach editing every day we need to establish simple routines. Many teachers use a daily oral language approach. Let's make it a daily editing experience approach and stop correcting for our students!
Anonymous Samples
Another way to practice editing skills is to provide a variety of anonymous sample paragraphs in need of specific corrections. Take these paragraphs from student papers, pull them from reference texts, or invent them for a specific lesson on a problem area. Homonym errors, dialog punctuation, possessive apostrophe usage, and spelling are specifics that can be used. During these daily editing sessions use a professional proofreader's trick: focus on a single specific issue. If you try to edit for capitalization, punctuation, spelling, and grammar all at once you may overwhelm your weaker editors, causing them to shut down. For younger students, this may mean starting with just end punctuation or capitalization. For older students, the focus may be the rules of dialog or the use of quotation marks.
It is important that students first practice editing with anonymous examples. It is far easier to work on samples than to edit your own work. When it does come time for your students to edit their important pieces, be sure you have given the writing time to cool. Waiting about three days before you edit allows a writer to see the work with new eyes and spot errors they were previously unable to see.
Parent Expectations
Of course parents expect red ink. You will be pressured to teach the good old-fashioned way. Still, the good old-fashioned way (correcting) just isn't effective. A thoughtful letter home at the beginning of the year is a good idea. Explain your editing approach. Help parents understand that you value independent correctness. Be consistent and proactive. Periodically, send an editing paragraph home and ask parents to work together with their children on the edit. Consider inviting parents who are strong editors to work in your classroom, and train them to teach, not correct.
Reality Check
Finally, accept the fact that not everyone will be a strong editor. A writer with unique Ideas and a powerful Voice may be very weak in conventions. Consider Wilson Rawls, author of Where the Red Fern Grows. Rawls was so ashamed of his spelling, punctuation, and grammar that he almost gave up writing. Yet who can deny the lyrical genius of his prose?
Writing is too often judged by Conventions alone. Do good manners insure fine character? Do polished chrome and a fine paint job create a competitive racecar? By balancing Conventions with Ideas, Voice, Organization, Word Choice, and Sentence Fluency, you help students find their strengths, while working on their weaknesses. In the end, by teaching instead of correcting, you arm even your weakest students with some independent editing skills. You've done the job!

In a judgment handed down this morning, judges backed a challenge brought by deputy Labour leader Tom Watson in a long-running battle against state surveillance rules.These laws allow for ISPs and telcos to retain communications data for up to a year and for public authorities to get access to this information. But campaigners have argued it fails to properly restrict this retention and access.Today's ruling refers to the Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Act, which expired at the end of 2016, but will have significant implications for its successor, the Investigatory Powers Act.The so-called Snoopers' Charter was already under pressure following a landmark 2016 ruling from the Court of Justice of the European Union, and today's judgment adds weight to this.In the document, the judges also note: "As [Ben] Jaffey QC, on behalf of the first respondent, pointed out in the course of his oral submissions, that the fact that DRIPA has been repealed does not make this a pointless exercise".Their ruling was that DRIPA "was inconsistent with EU law" because it did not limit access to retained communications data solely to the purpose of fighting serious crime.It also broke the law because police forces and public authorities could themselves grant access to retained data – rather than access being subject to prior review by a court or an independent administrative authority.
Source: UK.gov mass data slurping ruled illegal – AGAIN • The Register
Especially the last bit: rather than access being subject to prior review by a court or an independent administrative authority.
Come on! How hard is it to ask a judge after proving some sort of probable cause? It's investigation that gets the bad guys. Not being a police state.

August 29, 2014 – Major Volcanic Eruption in PNG: A MAJOR volcanic eruption in Papua New Guinea this morning could disrupt flights to and from Australia. The Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre in Darwin is monitoring the ash cloud from Tavurcur on PNG's East Britain Island, which is slowly drifting southwest. Senior meteorologist Ian Shepherd said they were watching the cloud closely and providing advice to airlines.
"The volcanic eruption reached the top of the atmosphere at 50,000 feet which is the same height as which planes travel," said Mr. Shepherd. "It's too early to say at this point if the ash cloud will reach Australia but it was a significant eruption."

NEXT On the Beat: Alabama football about to redefine the term 'trophy room'
Now that Alabama has offered Auburn WR commit, can Tide flip him?
Alabama is off to an excellent recruiting start, and you should expect the Crimson Tide to continue its success. SEC Country's Chris Kirschner will answer the Recruiting Question of the Day each weekday. You can ask him your questions on Twitter or on Facebook. Find our previous questions and answers here.
George Pickens, a 4-star wide receiver from Hoover (Ala.) High School, was offered by Alabama on Monday night. I am surprised it took the Crimson Tide this long to offer him because he has been exceptional on the camp scene this year. But I was told that the reason why it did take so long is because Alabama wanted to see Pickens perform in person first. He camped last summer in Tuscaloosa but wasn't quite ready at the time. He has improved his game since then and once wide receivers coach Josh Gattis saw him live, Pickens was offered.
Pickens, who committed to Auburn in July 2017, has taken visits elsewhere, but that is expected to end. The 6-foot-5, 199-pound prospect took a visit to Auburn a few weeks ago where he joined Tigers quarterback commit Bo Nix and two other priority targets that Auburn is pursuing.
On that trip, according to our Auburn recruiting reporter Benjamin Wolk, the coaching staff asked Pickens to stop visiting other programs because they view him as one of their centerpieces of the 2019 class. This request was also communicated with his mother, who was also on the trip. Both Pickens and his mother agreed to not visit any other programs, according to Wolk.
Plans in recruiting change all of the time, so it's not out of the question that Pickens does end up visiting Alabama at some point; however, I have been of the belief that the Crimson Tide are just too late in the game to flip him.
The Pickens family has known Gus Malzahn and offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey for several years now. Malzahn coached Pickens' brother, Chris Humes, at Arkansas State, while Lindsey coached him at Spain Park (Ala.) High School.
The deep-rooted relationships the family has with Malzahn and Lindsey make it difficult for me to believe that Pickens will end up changing his mind on the Tigers. It also doesn't hurt Auburn's chances at keeping Pickens committed when he's on the same 7-on-7 team as Nix. Those two are only going to get closer this summer, and nothing is more important for a receiver than an established relationship with his future quarterback.

Chapter One Ojo and Unc Nunkie
"Where's the butter, Unc Nunkie?" asked Ojo.
Unc looked out of the window and stroked his long beard. Then he turned to the Munchkin boy and shook his head.
"Isn't," said he.
"Isn't any butter? That's too bad, Unc. Where's the jam then?" inquired Ojo, standing on a stool so he could look through all the shelves of the cupboard. But Unc Nunkie shook his head again.
"Gone," he said.
"No jam, either? And no cake—no jelly—no apples—nothing but bread?"
"All," said Unc, again stroking his beard as he gazed from the window.
The little boy brought the stool and sat beside his uncle, munching the dry bread slowly and seeming in deep thought.
"Nothing grows in our yard but the bread tree," he mused, "and there are only two more loaves on that tree; and they're not ripe yet. Tell me, Unc; why are we so poor?"
The old Munchkin turned and looked at Ojo. He had kindly eyes, but he hadn't smiled or laughed in so long that the boy had forgotten that Unc Nunkie could look any other way than solemn. And Unc never spoke any more words than he was obliged to, so his little nephew, who lived alone with him, had learned to understand a great deal from one word.
"Why are we so poor, Unc?" repeated the boy.
"Not," said the old Munchkin.
"I think we are," declared Ojo. "What have we got?"
"House," said Unc Nunkie.
"I know; but everyone in the Land of Oz has a place to live. What else, Unc?"
"I'm eating the last loaf that's ripe. There; I've put aside your share, Unc. It's on the table, so you can eat it when you get hungry. But when that is gone, what shall we eat, Unc?"
The old man shifted in his chair but merely shook his head.
"Of course," said Ojo, who was obliged to talk because his uncle would not, "no one starves in the Land of Oz, either. There is plenty for everyone, you know; only, if it isn't just where you happen to be, you must go where it is."
The aged Munchkin wriggled again and stared at his small nephew as if disturbed by his argument.
"By to-morrow morning," the boy went on, "we must go where there is something to eat, or we shall grow very hungry and become very unhappy."
"Where?" asked Unc.
"Where shall we go? I don't know, I'm sure," replied Ojo. "But you must know, Unc. You must have traveled, in your time, because you're so old. I don't remember it, because ever since I could remember anything we've lived right here in this lonesome, round house, with a little garden back of it and the thick woods all around. All I've ever seen of the great Land of Oz, Unc dear, is the view of that mountain over at the south, where they say the Hammerheads live—who won't let anybody go by them—and that mountain at the north, where they say nobody lives."
"One," declared Unc, correcting him.
"Oh, yes; one family lives there, I've heard. That's the Crooked Magician, who is named Dr. Pipt, and his wife Margolotte. One year you told me about them; I think it took you a whole year, Unc, to say as much as I've just said about the Crooked Magician and his wife....

A LABOUR council is facing a £1million bill after trying to duck its pension duties to hundreds of female staff it previously tried to squeeze out of equal pay.
North Lanarkshire Council has been ordered to cough up after the Scottish Public Pensions Agency (SPPA) found it tried to "obstruct" a fair deal for almost 700 women.
The 681 women were systematically underpaid for years by the council, earning lower wages than male colleagues doing jobs of equivalent worth.
Last year, after initially forcing the authority to give them back-pay through a tribunal, they reached a second negotiated settlement worth a further £7.1m, after being represented by equal pay experts Action 4 Equality Scotland.
However, their final salary pension deals remained below those of male counterparts, as their contributions were lower while they were underpaid.
According to recent local government pension regulations, all back-pay must be treated as "pensionable", meaning bigger pensions and bigger lump sums for those affected.
It also means errant councils must top up their employer contributions to pension funds.
However in February North Lanarkshire tried to sidestep its duties to the Strathclyde Pension Fund, which covers the female staff, by claiming the women's second round of back-pay was actually a form of negotiated "compensation" and therefore not pensionable.
The women's lawyers appealed to the SPPA in March, pointing out the potential differences would be profound if the back-pay was not made pensionable.
Some of the North Lanarkshire women would be denied a pension rise of £1500 a year and lump sums of more than £4000, a lifetime difference of around £50,000.
The SPPA has now ruled the council "misconstrued" the law, and criticised its arguments as "confused and an obstruction to finding an equitable solution to the disagreement".
It said the council must pay the income tax and national insurance on the second wave of back-pay as well as employer contributions, an estimated total of £1m.
Although the women would also need to make contributions of around £360,000, this should ultimately bring them £10m in higher pensions benefits.
The council now has until August 20 to decide whether to fight the decision by launching a costly judicial review at the Court of Session.
Elizabeth Cross, 67, from Gartcosh, who retired four years ago after a decade as a home support worker in North Lanarkshire, would be £28,000 better off under the SPPA ruling.
She told the Sunday Herald the council's refusal to pay up was "terrible".
She said: "It's ridiculous. This is the second time down the road. They discriminated against the women that worked for them over equal pay and now they're doing it again over pensions.
"We should get exactly the same pensions as the men. All the girls are raging.
"The council are lucky they still have any women working for them, the way they have treated us all. It's disgusting what they've done.
"Everyone in North Lanarkshire should be kicking up about the money the council are wasting trying to get out of paying us what we're owed."
Lawyer Sarah Gilzean of HBJ Gateley, who represented the women's case to the SPPA, said: "We think the SPPA decision is unequivocally in our favour."
Stefan Cross QC, of Action 4 Equality Scotland, said: "I find it incredible that a Labour-run council has been fighting tooth and nail to deny low-paid women workers the right to equal treatment under the Local Government Pension Scheme. If North Lanarkshire had got its way, some of the council's lowest paid workers would have been penalised for the rest of their lives.
"We welcome the landmark decision of the SPPA and we are calling on North Lanarkshire to face up to its obligations, accept this decision and do everything they can to ensure the lowest paid council workers are able to maximise their pension benefits."
A spokesman for North Lanarkshire Council said: "We note the decision of the Scottish Ministers in this case. We are examining the decision and will reach a view on our next steps in due course. However, the council remains committed to equality and has settled more than £100m of claims. We will continue to do so where these are justified."

They talk about not having to use a chain guide and that they didn't drop a chain. Did you see the video? That chain was whipping all over the place, if he had pedaled it would have been off. Time would be lost for sure getting that chain put on if you're in the middle of an enduro race.
@theranch, the only reason I wasn't pedaling was because my foot would hit the gopro. 11 people rode jumped, pedaled, etc from Top of the World to No Joke, Parts of the Grabanzo DH, and A Line without a single issue. And Trust me, we tried to get it to come off.
So I am not too sure your above statement is accurate. SRAM did their homework on this one.
Ok... I'm just commenting on what I saw. I would hope that this system works like it was described, I would like to upgrade to something like this from the 1x10 setup I'm running now.
Food for thought - if a medium length cage X-Horizon derailleur can accommodate a 10-42 tooth cassette, a very compact derailleur could likely handle a typical road cassette used in DH/4X/DS/DJ/slopestyle applications. Clearance anyone?
So that what manufacture is currently making that XD driver body?
As far as I know, either SRAM and DT Swiss. Others will likely be available soon.
SRAM, DT Swiss and Mavic. I believe the high end roval wheels are also compatible since they use DT Swiss internals. (i.e. the 2013 specialized enduro carbon complete.)
Just when you thought RD tech had been pushed as far as it would go (with clutches, shadow, 10-sp, and all that), along comes this. Love the way they've re-engineered the rear deraileur movement, clever chaps those Germans eh? Seems the whole system is really really usable. I was excited about the 9-36t cassette supposedely on the way from Hope, but this system takes everything to another level. Been dreaming of a 1x system that would still winch my beast up a hill, looks like this is definitely it. And the chainmanagement over the rough terrain looked unbelievably good in that clip - without a guide!
Climbing will still be a bit harder than on my current 2x9, with an 11-34t cassette and a 22/36 chainring combo. with XX1, I'd still have to run a 32T ring up front to get the same development in the top gear, which means climbing on a 32/42 gear combo....a bit taller than my current lowest gear which is 22/34...but hey, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?
Anyway, as usual - Xmas can't get here soon enough!
1.25" Steer tubes, 35mm bars, 650b,1x11..... Wonder what's going to still be around in a couple of years. Lots of new stuff hitting the market right now.
I see 650b and this staying. Not so sure about the first two though.
Forgot, electric controls for rear shocks as well, and perhaps DI2 will make its way into MTB
35mm bars are tits. I put a set of havoc carbon bars on my dh rig and the difference is huge, even over the haven carbon bars. i bet they stay around. i'd put another pair on a different bike thats for sure
makes you wonder what Shimano will come up with in order to keep up.
They have a new patent on a 14 speed cassette.

Attack of the Geese
I thought I would be adventurous and walk around the OTHER side of the lake for my morning walk. WELL. That wasn't the best idea I've had in recent days…
So, I'm walking along this street, funny enough named Sea Gull Drive… 🙂 …and it's a cul-de-sac and I can see that I'm nearing the end of it and at the end, I can see the glimmery, shimmery lake in front of me with two houses framing my view of the lake. And what else do I see? A totally random goose standing in the middle of the street. Just chillin'. 😛 (There is a huge gaggle of Canadian geese that lives on the golf course and the lake…maybe 40 geese?)
So, yah. These geese are NUTS and scarier than stray, foaming-at-the-mouth dogs. I mean, I've had mini-encounters with them before but never as scary as the attack I survived today. WHAT CAN I SAY!? I need a treadmill 'cause I can't be risking my life walking these streets anymore. HAHA
So getting back to the chillin' goose. She was just like, la, la, laaaaa… enjoying life an' all. I thought she was the cutest thing ever. Then I saw two more geese standing on the driveway of the house on the right. And so I whipped out my camera phone to snap a shot to send to my sister. 😀 One of the driveway ganders let out a loud horn honking noise and I was concerned that he was giving me a get lost, pork chop warning…but I kept snapping away, smiling and enjoying the moment. There I was in the middle of Sea Gull Drive's cul-de-sac with a few geese on a beautiful, clear-skied, breezy February morning. Life was grand, right?
Wellllll, as I was snapping shots of the geese just hangin' out, all of a sudden about five more geese CHARGED toward me squawking, flailing their wings all about, opening their mouths for a nice bite! OH! They came from the other house's driveway at my left!!! AAAAACK! I hadn't even noticed them. 😯 So, I obviously screamed and started running down the street turning back around frequently to make sure the birds weren't keeping chase. One was! I'm sure it was the head gander who wanted me dead. But, I continued to scream and run down the street. Whew. Close one. I survived yet another near death situation. 😉 Ay yie yieeeee.
So I decided to do my research before writing my little goose incident blog. Turns out:
- Geese are territorial animals, especially during nesting season (SPRINGTIME!!!!!=NOW!!!!), when reports of goose attacks increase.
- The male goose is protecting the female and the nest from perceived threats. NO DOY.
- If the gander sounds a warning, that is your signal to leave the area. HAHAHA…would have been good to know…
- Maintain eye contact. Geese have excellent vision and interpret loss of eye contact as an act of fear.
- Stay calm. Don't yell or try to hit the male goose. The female may join the attack and then you will be in real trouble.
- Keep your body facing directly toward the goose. Never turn your back on an attacking goose. Unless of course you're CT and a super fast runner 😛 —or just lucky as heck to get away without a flying attack being brought upon you. 😀
- Walk backward slowly if the goose hisses at you or spreads its wings. Or just run like the wind screaming your heads off, peeps!!!
So that's your Geese Lesson for the day, y'all! To all of my fellow people around the planet who live near geese…stay safe this nesting season! Watch out! Those geese are kuh—-ray—–zeeeeee! 🙂
Here's a good one 😀

Christian Music Encourages Action!
Someone stole my car's antenna (again–this is the 3rd time…) and so now I only have access to TWO radio stations when I'm driving around the High Desert (among the mountains). I have access to SOS, a Christian Religious station and I have access to K-OLA…a Spanish station that has only ever been playing mariachi music when I flip between the two. Well, anyone who KNOWS me knows that I have little tolerance for mariachi music. I have about a one-minute window to listen to it before my nerves are shot and I get a headache and have a mini-breakdown. I don't know if it's the trumpets…or the vihuelas (high-pitched, five-string guitars) or the combination of them plus violins plus guitars or the rhythm or the melody or the costumes the musicians wear…me no likey. Anyway, I digress. 😉
My point in sharing all of this with you is that my father, dear father…had told me weeks ago that he and his friend were going to fix/replace my antenna so that I may once again have full access to a plethora of radio stations for my listening enjoyment. 😀 Wellllllll, how many days have passed with no action/repairs happening? Uh-huh. Lots. Lots of days. And I'm impatient. Duh. I would like to be patient. I think it would be really keen to be a chillax, patient individual. That's why I go to meditation class. That's why I wear a rosary bracelet most days…I need all the extra help I can get in the "CALMNESS DEPARTMENT."
I think I have been über patient. But the truth is that I really like the Christian station! So I don't mind having NO access to other stations. Oh ma garsh! I'm becoming a total Christian Rock freak! WHOOOOO! I just love my new bands and singers. And this Christian station is worse than the Top-40 radio stations in that they play the SAME 15-20 songs over and over again (instead of the same 40 🙂 ) so I have already memorized the lyrics to so many songs. 😉 Oh yah. WHAT can I say? So, not only have I been singing them around the house but I've also changed our radios' dials to SOS Radio Station! heh heh <—evil laugh. (innocent, sweet, smiling face inserted here.) (FYI: My dad tortures me by having the radio on 24/7 in our den…sooooooo I took the liberty of changing it to SOS.) 😉 Annnnnnd, he and his friend started the job of replacing my antenna a week ago but then didn't finish the job so now I have a hole (that you can stick your finger in and reach into my trunk) where there used to be a metal base for an antenna…grrrr. 😡
Tonight at dinner we were eating and in between conversation bits, he noticed the group on the radio was singing something along the lines of " Oh, Jesus…Jesus You Save! You Saaaaave, You Saaaaave!!!" and he looked at me with the MOST PRICELESS expression on his face (think confused meets hard-of-hearing meets lost meets angry) and asked me if I set the radio to a "religious" station. ❗ ❗ ❗ First of all, it should be noted that I changed the radio station to SOS, like, a week ago…SECOND, it was frickin' hysterical (you hafta know my dad) so I busted out laughing (my mouth full of food) and I said, "Why, yes, puh-pa…I have indeed changed it." LOL. LOL. LOL.
He asked me where/how/when I found out about the station and I matter-of-factly informed him that it was one of only TWO stations that I still got reception for in my car nowadays (sans antenna).
This morning I woke up, walked downstairs and was greeted by this note:
Love it!
"Nah…I can get my dad to do anything I want. All I have to do is walk around the house singing songs about Jesus' Saving Grace and he gets scared and becomes putty in my hands." –Yours truly!!! 😛

The Edmonton Oilers placed Ryan Hamilton on waivers this morning and he'll be sent back to the Barons if and when he clears tomorrow morning. It's likely he'll clear and with that a trade (Andrew Miller for Hamilton) will have occurred. In a small window, Miller looks to be the better man based on superior foot speed (he can scoot). Hamilton has a lot of things that make him attractive but a lumbering skater cannot survive in today's NHL (especially a forward). Miller is No. 13 on the list of prospects who have been employed by both Edmonton and OKC this season (there are 15 players but Keith Aulie and Richard Bachman are not considered prospects using the rules set down by this blog) and he might be able to carve out a role in the future. Call him Arco 2.0 and let's see where this thing goes.
There isn't much in Oklahoma territory we haven't seen but there are kids down there working hard and hoping for their chance in the show. If we have a look at the current roster, add in possible signings from the graduation juniors, colleges and Euro's, what kind of a lineup could we make for next season in Bakersfield? A pretty damn good one, actually.
- Line 1: Ryan Hamilton—Leon Draisaitl—Andrew Miller. The big German gets two experienced wingers and should be able to make hay. I expect Draisaitl to be in the NHL for good by Christmas (that's a lie, I expect him to make the Oilers in TC) so this will be a short-term trio.
- Line 2: Anton Slepyshev—Bogdan Yakimov—Iiro Pakarinen. Yakimov's last 10 games (5-4-9) suggest he may be able to handle the load next season and Slepyshev is probably the best winger prospect as soon as he signs. If he isn't, that title belongs to Pakarinen who will probably make a major push for NHL employment next season.
- Line 3: Josh Winquist—Jujhar Khaira—Kyle Platzer. I picked Winquist to get an Oilers contract over Curtis Hamilton, your mileage may vary. I don't think Khaira has the offense to roll with these two but I like his grit and two-way reputation. I'm genuinely intrigued by Platzer who really had a strong OHL season.
- Line 4: Mitch Moroz—Travis Ewanyk—Greg Chase. This line might start every shift in the penalty box but if they don't fight each other it should be considered a victory. I'll say this: If they played the entire season in Bakersfield and had success, I wouldn't put it past MacT to call the whole damn bunch up ala the Bulldog line of Riesen—Swanson—Cleary circa 2000 fall.
- Line 5: Kale Kessy/Curtis Hamilton—Marco Roy—Jackson Houck: The extra forwards, these fellows would jump between the ECHL and Bakersfield and be forced to move their way up the roster. The Jones' boys, John McCarron, Roman Horak, Matt Fraser, Kellen Lain and Dragan Umicevic may also be involved here.
- Defense 1: Darnell Nurse—Brandon Davidson: This could be a fun pairing while it lasts, I expect Nurse to be in the NHL by Valentine's Day (that's a lie, I expect he'll make the Oilers in the fall). This is a classic pairing, Oilers may prefer a little more chaos (Hunt, Oesterle) for Nurse.
- Defense 2: Jordan Oesterle—Dillon Simpson: This pairing began 2014-15 together but there was too much chaos. A year's experience may make a perfect fit for two players Edmonton sees as possible solutions at the NHL level in the future.
- Defense 3: Joey Laleggia—David Musil. Joey Legs may take some time to adjust and Musil is an effective defensive player. I like this tandem to take minutes away from the other pairings as the season wears along and do wonder if Laleggia could pass Hunt as the 1PP option before season's end.
- Defense 4: Ben Betker—Martin Gernat/CJ Ludwig/Brad Hunt. The big WHL kid is going to get signed and he'll play with a smoother puck handler. I've chosen Gernat but Brad Hunt could absolutely return and would play much higher on the depth chart.
- Goalies: Laurent Brossoit plus ? and the Mysterians. NO idea where they're going here, will guess Edmonton signs a European free agent or Matt O'Connor. Don't count out Richard Bachman but Brossoit will be the starter.
This assumes that men like Anton Lander, Martin Marincin and Tyler Pitlick are either with the Oilers and in another organization. Barons play today (3 our time) I'll provide updates in the comments section.

Zen and the Art of Tokyo's iPhone Lines
You know all about Japan's biggest iPad fan. Now meet Yuta Kami, possibly Japan's most ill-starred iPhone 4 fan — undone by his social media habits.
Early Thursday, the first of Apple's new all-singing, all-dancing phones were being officially handed out to hundreds of eager believers in central Tokyo, happily recording the event on all manner of Twitter feeds and Ustream internet broadcast accounts. And back on Tuesday, things were looking pretty good for 21-year-old Mr. Kami's prospects of getting his already-reserved iPhone 4 before almost everyone else.
But then he tweeted, and from No. 2 in the line, he eventually dropped back 100 places.
The college student hadn't quite achieved his dream of being first in line for the official start of sales when he first arrived at local supplier Softbank's flagship Harajuku store — with the device going on sale in five countries today, the time difference means Japan's Apple geeks will be technically the first in the world to get theirs paws on the shiny new product.

Book Review: Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo
ashley | I quite enjoyed Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo, but it took me a while to get into and get through. Knowing this, I was prepared for book two of the series, keeping in mind that me and book two hardly ever get along. But I was really entranced by Kaz and have been excited to pick this story back up again for some time, so my hopes were slightly high.
This book is basically one scheming plan after another, all coming together to avenge the events from the previous book. I'm not complaining, I love the scheming plans and what Bardugo does so well keeps the suspense building. She weaves in moments of action and movement so we don't spend the entire book talking about what is going to happen in the third, which is pretty much my biggest issue with most second books.
As far as characters go, there is such a hardness to Kaz that is a lot more obvious this time around. It makes him a good leader, he makes the difficult decisions and hard choices, but it was really apparent in this and he often came off as a bit of a jerk. A jerk with good intentions and heart, perhaps, but still a jerk. It didn't make me like him any less, however. I admired his determination and his soft spots. He is a great complex character and I think he really holds this book together, complimented of course by the other characters, who are just as lively and spirited in this book as the last.
The lingering love and relationship arcs from the first book are also a bit more apparent here. It was all alluded to before, but now you're seeing them blossom much more in the open, complete with mushy dialogue and fawning looks. Sometimes it feels a little overdone, but that could also just be me not wanting to focus too much on that aspect and get back to the thieving.
Oh how I love that satisfied feeling when things all come together, and Bardugo does this so perfectly every time. Every little bit is so well thought and planned out that the last half of the book ends up being action packed and immensely satisfying.
This was a great second book and I'm loving this series more every time I revisit it. Can't wait to continue the adventure!

Product Update: New Search Filters and RFP Tools
A client is asking you to plan a large event that may draw as few as 133 attendees or as many as 755. You're concerned. That's a pretty huge range—so sourcing event space flexible enough to accommodate such a gap could be a real challenge.
That is, until now.
With the latest updates to the Social Tables sourcing platform, you have the power to search for only the properties that match your clients' specific requirements with easy-to-use search filters.
Take a look below: These are the five hotels in the Chicago-area flexible enough to satisfy either end of the extreme attendee gap. Not only that, but they also have the necessary number of meeting rooms, guest rooms, and event space square footage. All you had to do to find them was adjust those filter you see on the left-hand panel.
But we didn't just want you find these properties. Why not take the next logical step and submit an RFP to the two that look most promising? Now you can. Simply click the pink 'Add to Cart' button you see below a property's listing in the search results, and we'll put a blank RFP in your cart.
And even though you have the flexibility to add up to ten different RFPs to your cart at time, you only have to fill out the form once. That's right, you can send the same RFP to multiple properties with just a few clicks. We're striving to make it easy as possible for planners to do what they do best: plan great event day experiences. We think these updates are some of the biggest steps we've taken in that direction.
Why properties love this
You have a new—and extremely efficient—source of RFPs. With these changes to the sourcing platform, you're guaranteed to intake more leads than ever before.
Why planners love this
Think of all the time you can save. With these latest updates, all the barriers to sourcing, contacting, and striking a deal with a property have been lowered. With that extra time, you could focus on what matters: finding more clients to help.
These features are all free to use, so head over to our sourcing platform now to give the new search filters a whirl. And after that? Submit as many RFPs as you want, because with the Social Tables, there's so much less between you and your next amazing event.

Three former Rangers players announce support for schools to teach LGBTI issues.
"I know that LGBTI young people often feel isolated and excluded. School should be the best time of a young person's life, but this often isn't the case if they identify as LGBTI and that isn't good enough. Society has made progress on equality, but we have to do more and we have to start making things better for LGBTI youth at school. That's why I am supporting the TIE Campaign: to send a message to young people that it's not cool to be homophobic or transphobic and to join the call for LGBTI inclusive education in all of our schools." – Gary McSwegan
Gary McSwegan, Bobby Russell and Dougie Bell have backed calls for the Time for Inclusive Education to be taught in order to tackle homophobic bullying, STV News report.
The TFIC say that despite the gay, bisexual, lesbian and transgender community making fundamental contributions to society, history, literature and culture many LGBT people are still subject to discrimination, abuse and hostility on a daily basis. They note that while Scotland has made considerable progress in the advancement of equality, the education system has failed to catch up.
Time for Inclusive Education also note that their research reveals that teachers have highlighted that they do not feel they have been adequately trained on how to tackle homophobia, biphobia and transphobia. Many in education are unsure of their rights and feel more needs to be done.
Their findings conclude that 90% of LGBT respondents to their research reported experiencing a negative reaction to their sexuality while at school while 64% said they had been bullied because of their gender identity or sexual orientation. 86% added that LGBT issues were never discussed or spoken of in a progressive manner at their school. A number of participants highlighted a lack of LGBT inclusive debate during sex education.
It comes as research from the campaign group showed nine out of ten lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) pupils reported experiencing homophobia at school.
Only 5% of respondents to the research believed their teachers were adequately equipped to discuss LGBT issues in the classroom, while 72% reported that bullying due to sexuality or gender orientation was not challenged by staff in their schools. 27% said they had attempted suicide after bullying about their sexual orientation or gender identity.
Gary McSwegan, who now works in the care industry, played for Rangers between 1986 and 1993 while Bobby Russell joined Rangers in 1977 leaving after a decade. He is reported by STV News as noting LGBT issues can be improved via education;
"It is time to stamp out prejudice and that can be achieved if we educate our kids about LGBTI issues. Young people should feel free to be who they are without fear of bullying."
The broadcaster went on to note that the 'Scottish Government recently launched a joint working-group with TIE and other stakeholders, which has been tasked with making recommendations to Ministers as to how the group's proposals can be implemented.' adding 'In February, the Scottish Parliament became the first in Europe to support LGBTI inclusive education after a majority of MSPs signed TIE's campaign pledge.'
The third supporter of the cause is previous Ibrox player Dougie Bell, who was with Rangers between 1985 and 1987, he told STV News:
""Homophobia remains a problem in many schools across the country and I am eager to see LGBTI inclusive education in all schools – as it would transform the lives of LGBTI young people."

Thank you for joining Dreamer's Church in the mission of helping people take the next step in their journey! Your generosity enables us to help more and more people encounter God, find community, discover their purpose, and be empowered to fulfill their God-given dreams. We are truly grateful for your generosity and hope the convenience and simplicity of online giving will be helpful to you.
Biblically, financial giving can be divided into two categories: tithes and offerings. The Bible teaches us that we worship the Lord with our tithe, which is the first ten percent of our income contributed to the church on a regular basis. When we feel called to give over and above our tithe, we do so as an offering.
LEGACY OFFERING: The Legacy offering is your opportunity to sow a sacrificial free-will offering into seeing Dreamer's Church vision become a reality. We are specifically directing these Legacy funds to be reserved for a permanent 7 day a week meeting facility. We are believing for God to bless every seed you sow. We have faith God will multiply these seeds just as He did when the little boy put his lunch into Jesus's hands in Luke 9:16
"Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed them, and broke them, and kept giving them to the disciples to set before the people."

Do you have a tendency to go back to the chemical probe you know will work for you, or that has been on the market for a long time? Well, our data suggests that you aren't alone, but you might find that trying some newer options might give you better results.
Many of the newer chemical probes that are available today target the same protein as popular older versions, but have better properties, such as higher selectivity and potency. However, in this market it can take quite a bit of time before newer products are really taken up and used.
CiteAb product manager Rebecca Sadler has been looking at our citation data for chemical probes to better understand how citation shares change over time for newer and older products.
She says: "I took PI3K inhibitors as a test case and looked at citations comparing chemical probes that target PI3 kinase, LY294002, GDC-0941 (Pictilisib) and BYL-719 (Alpelisib).
"I chose PI3 kinase inhibitors because LY294002 is in the top ten most cited chemical probes, but newer probes with the same target but higher selectivity and potency have been released within the past ten years."
LY294002 is the oldest compound that Rebecca looked at – the first citation for it in our database appeared in 1998. The first citation for GDC-0941 is later in 2011, and for BYL-719 is in 2015.
Rebecca explains that "the first citation may not equivalent to the 'release date' of product as it may have taken a while for commercial companies to start selling new products especially if there are patents protecting the molecules – in fact it looks like GDC-0941 was discovered in 2008, and BYL-719 in 2013."
Our data suggests that LY294002 actually maintained 100% of the share of citations across the three chemical probes from 1998 until 2011 when the first citations from GDC-941 started to appear. By 2015 citations from BYL-719 also began to take some share from LY294002.
Rebecca says: "What is clear from this data is that it took a few years after new versions were discovered for us to start seeing citations, and even then the move of citation share from LY294002 to new products was very gradual – between 2010 to 2017 citation share for LY294002 gradually decreased from 100% to 93.33%, still quite high given more targeted products were available."
So why are new probes so slow to increase their market share? Rebecca tells us that this could be due to the number of suppliers providing each product – for example LY294002 has citations from nine different suppliers, while GDC-0941 only has citations from two suppliers, and BYL-719 from one.
Looking to try a newer PI3 kinase inhibitor?
GDC-0941 suppliers on CiteAb are Abcam, Abmole, AdooQ, Cayman, MedChem Express and Selleck Chemicals.
BYL-719 suppliers on CiteAb are AdooQ, Cayman, MedChem Express and Selleck Chemicals.

- Another paper for reference is from AACR, mentioning GDC and BYL among other inhibitors and looking at relevance for cancer research/treatment. This paper goes into a lot more detail looking at different inhibitors than previous paper http://mct.aacrjournals.org/content/13/5/1021

The HND Construction Top Up course is designed for Construction Technicians and those working towards a Professional career who have completed the Higher National Certificate in Construction, and wish to develop their expertise to meet the requirements at a higher technician level within the Construction Industry.
A level 4 HNC in Construction
Methods of learning and teaching are designed to support students in becoming active members of a learning community. Students will be expected to work together in an informal environment as well as in formal classes where a culture of dignity, courtesy and mutual respect with staff and their peers is essential. A variety of methods will be used such as lectures, workshops, student led seminars and practical sessions. Integrating a work-based or placement opportunity, students will be visited in the workplace by a member of Institute staff to ensure a positive partnership between the employer mentor and to monitor that learning in the workplace is effective. Workplace learning is designed to support the development of an employable graduate equipped with the attributes, skills and knowledge to progress within a global market.
Upon successful completion of this degree, graduates will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to pursue a new career, or advance an existing one in the construction industry. Many construction workers begin by working with small to medium enterprise organisations (those with less than 250 employees), but many also go onto to self employment which is usually not possible until a graduate has several years experience. Other graduates will go on to work for large organisations which may comprise roles in building management; building services, project management, design and build roles, facilities management, planning or working on large infrastructure projects such as bridges, roads and railways.

Having just downloaded Cadbury's Big Swap Songs as part of their Big Swap for fairtrade fortnight I am now enjoying a good dollop of Hiplife. Last year Cadbury's launched the news that their Dairy Milk bars would now be using fairtrade cocoa from Ghana with a fab song and video from Tinny – Zingolo. And now this. I must admit – I've never thought of Cadbury's as my favourite chocolate and have always tended to be one to buy Galaxy instead. But since launching as fairtrade Cadbury's Dairy Milk has gone up in my estimations.
And, of course, all this Hiplife is reminding me of my and PBM's fab trip to the wonderful Ghana. So here are a few photos from the amazing country. Planning to get back there soon. Maybe Christmas 2011. It certainly has a wonderful feel to it and I can't wait to see more.
