The Car Connection Ferrari 599 Overview
Over its six-year life, the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano and its variants set a benchmark for performance, style, and luxury in a grand touring coupe.
The 599 replaced the previous 575 Maranello, and while it shared much in the way of its proportions, as well as its mission within the Ferrari brand, the 599 was its own car. At launch, the 599 came with a 6.0-liter V-12 engine rated at 612 horsepower. Revving as high as 8,400 rpm, the screaming Ferrari V-12 was a highlight of the car's performance, but also of its qualitative presence. The massively powerful engine allowed the 599 GTB to accelerate to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds and hit a top speed of over 205 mph.
Long, low, with muscular fenders and highly aerodynamic body work, the 599 GTB Fiorano benefited from much of Ferrari's racing knowledge in not only its mechanical construction, but also its exterior shape. Large cooling inlets at the nose, small cooling vents in front of the rear fenders, and extractors behind the front fenders all worked to help manage air flow into, under, and around the car.
The 599's suspension used Delphi's MagneRide system, a magneto-rheological damper setup that allows for variable forces, allowing the 599 to range from comfortable and smooth to track-ready aggression with the push of a button--or the turn of a dial on the "manettino" steering-wheel-mounted control in the Ferrari's case.
On top of the 599 GTB Fiorano's already high degree of handling competence, a number of upgrades and special editions were available. The HGTE package, standing for Handling Gran Turismo Evoluzione, for example, upgraded the 599 with a stiffer suspension via springs and anti-roll bars, as well as re-tuned calibrations for the MagneRide suspension system and a lower ride height for a lower overall center of gravity. A convertible version of the 599 was built as a one-off example, dubbed the 599 SA Aperta.
About mid-way through its model run, Ferrari introduced the 599XX, a track-only version of the 599 offered to an exclusive set of clientele. Maintained and controlled by Ferrari, the 599XX offered an upgrade to 720 horsepower and extensive use of composites in its body for reduced weight. Upgraded aerodynamics delivered up to 1,400 pounds of down force at speeds over 186 mph, and helped the car achieve a sub-7-minute time around the Nürburgring-Nordschleife circuit.
The 599XX EVO expanded on the 599XX's performance with even more horsepower (740 hp) and an active rear wing for improved high-speed downforce.
A number of other special editions, concepts, and one-off examples of the Ferrari 599 were introduced, such as the P540 Superfast Aperta and the Superamerica 45. The 599 GTB Fiorano was succeeded by the F12berlinetta.

Pink Satchel £6, bracelets and necklace - all Primark
Watch - Michael Kors
This month, instead of buying a ton of beauty products that I really don't need, I just bought a few and spent the rest of my money on clothes, and bills, of course. I tried to go for items that were on trend, yet key staples that will stay in my wardrobe for years and transform more outfits than one.
Although my waist is usually bloated due to health problems, on a good day, this is the part of my body that I'm actually most happy with. Yes, it's easy to focus on the negatives, there's plenty of things that I hate about my body, but if I dwelled on them too much I'd be pretty depressed, after all every single girl out there has issues, no matter what shape or size, even Beyonce! So I've decided to start focusing on the positives in life and when it comes to fashion, this to me, means dressing to accentuate my best bits.
I fell in love with this vest when browsing through the Asos website, I love that although it's cropped, it's not too cropped, if that makes sense?! The colour is perfect and it's easy to wear. I paired it with my new Joni Jeans from Topshop, these are literally thee comfiest jeans ever, they are skin tight, but they are super stretchy too, so they hug your figure without any discomfort and I love that they suck my stomach in! Bonus!
Have you updated your wardrobe for S/S? What have you been buying?

A smart kid with a tough family life discovers that he has the ability to teleport. Empowered, he leaves home for NYC. While using his abilities to track the man he blames for the death of his mother years earlier, he draws the attention of both the NSA and a possibly nefarious guy his own age who has the same abilities and enters into a dangerous game of cat and mouse with both.

Jumper Theatrical Review
I read the 1992 Steven Gould novel which was fairly streamlined science fiction: take a precept that a young man can teleport and then play the game of figuring out how things might evolve from there. When he's out of cash, he figures out he can jump into a bank vault. When he has an apartment door that doesn't open, rather than having the super fix it, he just uses it as added security ... and so on. Jumper, the book, is pretty understated. Jumper the movie is directed by the producer of the Bourne movies and is a flashy action movie with Sam Jackson as the bad-guy and Hayden Christensen and the main character.
In the movie (unlike the book, which had no evil organization) there is an ancient cult of bad people, religious zealots, who hunt jumpers (of which there are many) and slay them. To do this they use strange shock batons which lash out cables that capture their targets, tase them so they can't teleport away, and hold them until the guys can use ceremonial knives to execute them. Apparently they have not heard of bullets.
Also in the movie (unlike the book, which had no other jumpers) there is Jamie Bell who plays "Griffin" one of several. They "team up" (Griffin is mentally disturbed at best) and wage an incredibly inept war against Jackson who is not fooling around (except for using the weird cable guns ... that's "fooling around" as far as I can tell).
I think the driving force behind Jumper was the director's wish to film in exotic locations, the best of which is inside the Colosseum under the conditions that no equipment could be placed on the ground, that they only had 2hrs per day, and used natural light. I bet that was a blast. They also got to do Tokyo and even Ann Arbor! Beyond that, though, I'm not sure they had a lot in mind really: mostly just some set up for Jumper-2 (the book's sequel was called Reflex).
The problem with Jumper is not in the details. Hayden is a strong lead, Jackson has charisma even when his character is purely two-dimensional and doesn't make a lot of sense (they have religious objections to teleporting but have a machine that allows them ... to teleport). The locations are indeed sumptuous and the action, courtesy of Simon Kinberg (X-3, Mr. & Mrs. Smith) is pretty crackling. No, the problems are not in the wide angles: they're in the details.
The movie asks several questions (will the main character, David, unite with his high school sweetheart? What happened to his mom? Will he make it in the world? Who is Jackson, anyway?) and answers them all in a pat, flat manner. Hayden isn't impossible to care about but he's a bit of a cold fish (at one point he watches people trapped in a flood-zone on TV with the announcer saying that it'll take a miracle to reach them--he goes surfing--and the character arc of him becoming less self-centered is never resolved). The other characters only have first names which, while not meaningful in and of itself, is pretty telling since they only have one dimension to the rest of them too.
The whole electrical baton and fighting while teleporting thing is visually well done but takes center stage when it should be a throwaway (in Cammeron's T2, the terminator does things like grow a 3rd arm to fly the copter and shoot and turn around by morphing during the battle--this is as it should be--understated). When watching the movie I felt like it was all sugar and no meat.
Ultimately Jumper is a big summer movie that came out in the winter. It's loud, flashy, and dumb. It has reasonable star power and good location shots (the on-top-of-the-Sphinx money shot is worth whatever the paid for it). It's a bit like the Wizard of Oz trio though in that it doesn't have the guts to take real chances, it lacks "heart" in terms of characters that we really connect to, and it, um, isn't too smart.

The All India Council of Technical Education has performed a vital function, in sustaining uniformity of standards within the technical schooling system within the country. Latest trends nevertheless point out that many essential recommendations of the Council having a direct bearing on the advance of high quality of technical training have both been, neglected or ignored. High quality of technical schooling is very important to the maintenance of requirements.
It's been 4 years since my 5 hour operation for stage 3 colon cancer, and subsequent choice to decline six months of chemotherapy in favour of different remedies. So earlier this 12 months I decided it might be a good suggestion to get each a CEA blood take a look at, (checking for a marker related to colon most cancers) and a CT scan + virtual colonoscopy, to offer affirmation as to my progress….or otherwise.
So my life is extra defined by artwork and philosophy and emotions and spirituality. However I couldn't presumably enjoy these like I do and not using a working knowledge of things loopy like: molecular structure, vitality and matter, and worm holes, and toad stools. A younger willow tree bends and sways to each breeze. An old oak stands erect and allows the winds to trim off the outdated and rotten branches as it grows nearer and closer to heaven. Without science we've no sturdy trunk that will anchor our thoughts to Earth as we attain toward the heavens.
How detrimental will my regulation school stint be towards admissions. Do I've to include those transcripts? I contacted a DPT program I used to be desirous about and was told over the cellphone that they weren't desirous about regulation faculty transcripts, however every thing I'm studying from PTCAS is telling me in a different way. I'm having a tough time believing what I was informed over the telephone. I don't need the entire time and effort that I will put in in direction of completing the prereqs to be a waste if I'll possible be turned down.
Within the 2006 World Cup championship sport last summer, France's star Zinedine Zidane charged and rammed his Italian opponent with his head. Zidane was upset as a result of he stated the other man stated things about his sister. Zidane was ejected and in consequence, finally, Italy gained, France lost. Although Zidane later retired, he was suspended three games, fined $6,000 and requested to carry out group service by the FIFA.

Julia Katz at Addington Gallery
Addington Gallery has a great show opening tonight, Friday April 17th 2009. I suggest getting there early because Addington is not only a lover of art, but also of delicious food, both of which will be in attendance this evening.
Dan Addington loves paint, and he has a special place in his heart for the figure. That being said, within the Addington Gallery walls the paint, or whatever medium the artist uses, almost always trumps the subject matter. I must admit though, this new show featuring Julia Katz, makes me question if the paintings are more about paint, or the figures.
Julia Katz's, Making a Splash, consists of paintings of beachgoers and inner-city summer water seekers, just in time, I would say. With the final chill in the air from winter, we need to see work like this. Reminding us how nice it is to feel the warmth of the sun on our face, and what it means to find relief in the water.
Julia's work floats on the gallery walls offering you space and air as well as the warmth that escapes the surface, reminding you that summer is coming, and not a moment to soon. That oddly sounds to me like the paintings are about the subject matter, but wait; Julia is painting these with a thick and chunky style. Dinty Moore has got nothin' on her. I stood in front of these, astounded that from three feet away the paint took over as it folded and clung to itself, but if I were to take a step back these works would glow and pulsate with light, warmth and air.
I would like to thank Julia Katz, whose work made me remember what summer felt like over twenty years ago.

From today, 1st December 2014, under the new Immigration Act, landlords, letting agents, and home owners who let rooms or properties in the West Midlands will need to check that potential tenants have the right to live in the UK. Failure to carry out these checks could face a fine up to £3,000.
The government announced in September that the new "right to rent" measures introduced as part of the Immigration Act, would be phased in across the UK, initially being implemented in the West Midlands.
The "right to rent" checks only apply to:
Landlords in Birmingham, Walsall, Sandwell, Dudley and Wolverhampton
All adults aged 18 and over living at the property
New tenancy agreements starting on or after 1 December 2014 (there is no need to check tenants who are already renting before this date)
The checks are straightforward and simple and the majority of landlords will be able to conduct them without having to contact the Home Office. In most cases the checks will involve the landlord seeing no more than the documents t they already need to see when conducting due diligence, credit or tenant referencing checks (for example a passport, residence card, biometric immigration document issued by the Home Office).
If a prospective tenant is unable to provide a landlord with relevant documentation either because they have an outstanding immigration application or appeal or because the Home Office has their documents, landlords can request a check from the Landlord Checking Service which went live on 03 November 2014 using the online form.
Support for landlords
The checks are straightforward and the majority of landlords will be able to conduct checks without having to contact the Home Office.
To help landlords verify a potential tenant has the right to live in the UK, the Home Office has set up an online checker. The checker also helps if they need to ask the Home Office to carry out an official right to rent check.
To help landlords comply with the scheme, a dedicated helpline has been set up: 0300 069 9799 where you can get more information. The helpline can also carry out checks on individuals who have an ongoing immigration application or appeal with the Home Office, or whose documents are with the Home Office.
Landlords can also register here to receive updates on the right to rent checks.

Lindsay Allen scored 23 points to help top-seeded Notre Dame defeat Baylor 77-68 in the Oklahoma City regional final Sunday and reach its fifth consecutive Final Four.
Allen, who scored a career-high 28 points in the regional semifinal win over Stanford on Friday, followed that by making 10 of 16 shots and dropping seven assists. She was named the most outstanding player of the regional.
Michaela Mabrey scored 14 points and Jewell Loyd added 13 points for the Fighting Irish (35-2), who won their 21st straight game. Notre Dame will play South Carolina on Sunday.
Nina Davis had 26 points and 13 rebounds, Sune Agbuke had 12 points and 10 rebounds and Niya Johnson added 10 assists for second-seeded Baylor (33-4), which had hoped to avenge an 88-69 loss to Notre Dame in last year's regional final.
A three-pointer by Madison Cable gave Notre Dame a 60-56 lead, and a pair of free throws by Loyd pushed the advantage to six with just under 10 minutes to play.
South Carolina 80, Florida State 74: Florida State did just about everything longtime coach Sue Semrau could've asked in trying to reach its first Final Four.
The Seminoles just couldn't overcome foul trouble nor find a go-to player in a tight second half before falling to South Carolina 80-74 in Sunday's Greensboro Region final in North Carolina.
"It's hard to lead for 28 minutes and trail for three and lose it," Semrau said.
The No. 2-seeded Seminoles (32-5) came close to adding the biggest milestone yet to the winningest season in program history.
Playing in their second Elite Eight, FSU led by 10 in the first half and didn't trail until midway through the second half before Tiffany Mitchell put the top-seeded Gamecocks ahead for good in the final 2 minutes.
FSU entered the game with five players averaging between 10.1 and 12.4 points, with Semrau saying Thursday that the team's go-to player was "somebody different every night" and "we just don't know who it will be."
And five different players had led the Seminoles in scoring at least four times this season, according to STATS.
But FSU just couldn't find the person to take command of a struggling offense after halftime.
At times it looked as if it might be Leticia Romero, who scored a team-high 13 points and hit two driving baskets midway through the second half.
At others, it looked as if it could be fellow sophomore guard Brittany Brown (12 points) or Adut Bulgak (11) when they hit big baskets to answer pushes from the Gamecocks.
But as South Carolina's defense tightened, FSU managed one basket over an 8-minute stretch and just couldn't find someone to string together a couple of needed baskets.
It didn't help that senior guard and No. 2 scorer Maegan Conwright (seven points) played just 18 minutes due to foul trouble, picking up her fourth foul with 14:23 left.

Euroculture Spotlight #9: Wester Wagenaar
21 Feb 2017
The ninth edition of the Euroculture spotlight introduces Wester Wagenaar (Euroculture student and founder of the Euroculture alumni organization Arete).
Thanks, Wester, for taking the time to answer our questions!
What is your affiliation with Euroculture?
I am currently enrolled in the Euroculture programme and am situated in Japan for my research semester. I also recently founded Arete, the alumni organization of the Euroculture programme, which is the main reason we are talking today.
Can you tell us something about Arete?
Arete is old Greek for 'excellence', which is what we strive for of course. We organize alumni events and offer a platform for alumni to interact. So if you are affiliated with Euroculture, don't hesitate to check us out. You can find out more information about Arete here. In case you want to organize events or wish to represent Arete in your area, you are always welcome to send an e-mail.
What can we expect of Arete in the near future?
We are currently working hard on a questionnaire to distribute among Euroculture graduates, which will result in a database useable for all Euroculture alumni. This will make it easier to tell where graduates are currently situated and for them to meet up. Of course we will also try to expand our area of operations and organize more events in the future.
Where have you studied during Euroculture?
I spent my first semester in Uppsala and did my second one in Göttingen. I have just wrapped up my semester in Osaka and will then return to beautiful Sweden, this time for the sunny spring semester!
Would you like to share something special about your Euroculture experience?
How about nearly everything? Both semesters in Europe were simply intense, beautiful experiences, but because I just finished my Osaka semester, that is all I can think of at the moment. I will forever remember those plentiful midnight karaoke sessions, those first rays of light drilling through our tired eyelids while riding the first trains after nights in downtown Osaka, and that magnificent farewell party which truly was the icing on the cake. Oh, and of course it goes without saying the IP in Olomouc is a week of which the memories I hold very dear.
What do you like most about Euroculture?
It is a bit of a giveaway, but the only contestant for this is definitely the mobility. Living in three new places in two years is an experience I could not have had without Euroculture. Nothing trumps moving to a yet unvisited city, getting to know the location, making a diverse group of friends and building up a totally new life. The fact you share all of this with international classmates, who bring their own backgrounds and experiences into the mix, makes it even more fun.
What did you do before Euroculture?
I hold a bachelor degree in Japan Studies from Leiden University, which also provided me with the opportunity to study in Nagasaki for a year. Afterwards I dived straight into Euroculture.
What are your plans for the future?
I am not so much for concrete future plans when it concerns my own life, but I do hope to continue the Euroculture life the coming years, which means living in different places around the world. Bring on the adventure!

Business Week has just released its list of the "biggest brains" in investing .. and no surprise .. Warren Buffett makes the cut. (I think we all would have been surprised if he hadn't.) The other nine: John Bogle, David Shaw, Ken Heebner, Bill Gross, John Templeton, Carl Icahn, David Swensen, George Soros, and Stephen Schwarzman.
The BizWeek story looks for lessons for "ordinary" investors from their Top 10 and finds:
- The ability to see opportunities before everyone else
- "Intellectual integrity" .. the willingness to defy the market's conventional wisdom and go their own way
- Investing for the long haul ... sticking with their picks even if they are "buffeted by the news or the noise"
- Changing with the times (but not too much!)
- Learning from your mistakes
For some Buffett-specific lessons for small investors, check out this Warren Buffett Watch post from earlier this month.
And if you've learned some specific lessons from the O-of-O that you'd like to share, send me an email. I'll collect some of the best examples of "Learning from Warren" for a future post.

Why is it when a consumer gets proposals for "the exact same scope of work" are the prices so varied between contractors? It is hard for consumers to reconcile!
How does Archadeck of Charlotte come up with its pricing? It's a simple formula that has been developed and refined over the 26 years in business. With experience and understanding for example of all of the material costs, labor costs, permits, insurance, material taxes, and warranty coverage, we then add our profit that allows us not only to stay in business and pay all of our bills but also remain competitive in the local market.
The challenge is there is a low barrier to entry in the remodeling space so many inexperienced contractors jump in and simply want some business at any price without the wisdom of what it takes to survive long term. Even if you hear of a contractor that has done jobs for 3 of your neighbors, there are no guarantees that he will be around to fulfill contracts and warranties. When you are investing in a big ticket item like an outdoor living space, please do your homework more than just comparing scopes of work. All you are generally comparing is material not thinking about the larger piece which is the labor. To learn more, go to http://www.charlotte.archadeck.com

The obvious error is the number of refills. No refills on CII scripts.

Even if your physician writes for refills, state AND federal laws STILL apply.

No, even YOUR physician has to comply with those laws.

No, I really don't care if s/he wanted you to have refills.

Colleen Oakley, author of Close Enough to Touch, loves to write about unconventional romantic leading men: and here's one of the reasons why. In this essay, Colleen reflects on how her grandfather's tough love helped her to understand more about her own husband's way of romancing her. Close Enough to Touch is now available in trade paperback!
My grandfather was a gruff man. He liked his scotch neat and smoky. He wasn't big on large displays of affection. Growing up, when he'd see me after long absences (there were 12 hours of distance between us), his greeting was standard: "How are you, you rotten kid?"
In my younger years, he wore a toupee. He smoked Benson & Hedges. He liked gadgets. He sliced his thumb wide open building me a dollhouse that I had begged for from my parents for years.
As a teenager, he and my grandmother took me, my sister and my cousin traveling every summer. We sang a karaoke duet ("I've Got You Babe") on a cruise ship off the coast of Alaska. We saw the statue of David in Florence, Italy. We ate a terrible meal at an airport hotel in Paris when we missed our flight back to America.
While most people get more conservative as they age, he got more liberal, shouting expletives at Republicans on TV.
He hated to exercise.
He was a terrible driver.
When I landed my first big editor job, I called my grandparents to tell them. Grandpa's response was typical Grandpa: "Hey, you rich bitch."
He never looked me in the eyes and said "I'm proud of you," but he kept a stack of my magazine articles inconspicuously on his coffee table.
When I met my husband Fred, I — like most women — wanted grand, sweeping romantic gestures. During our courtship, I begged him to write me love letters. To surprise me with flowers. I asked him to plan thoughtful date nights. He struggled through it all. "It's just not me," he said. I was bewildered. I knew he loved me. Why couldn't he show me?
We didn't fight often in those first few years, but when we did, they were blowouts. Like most couples, we were trying to navigate the merging of our paths— how much to give, how much to take, tallying offenses and transgressions against each other like we were keeping score in Boggle.
We were long distance, which made the transgressions that much more severe. One Christmas when I was in New York, and he was in Atlanta, I was convinced that he was going to surprise me and show up for the big holiday party my roommate and I had been planning for weeks, even though he said he couldn't make it.
"You didn't come," I said to him over the phone the next day, near tears.
"I told you I couldn't," he said, confused at my emotion.
He was a logical man, predictable. Could I live with predictable for the rest of my life?
When my Grandpa met Fred, he loved him immediately. Of course, he didn't say it to me, but my grandmother told me when we were walking on the beach one day. "Grandpa thinks he's a really good man."
We got married.
In the ensuing years, like most couples do, I learned a lot about my husband.
Fred is not a gruff man. He likes his scotch on the rocks. He kisses me (and now our kids) regularly and with abandon. But I still longed for some swash-buckling Hollywood-type of romance. I was jealous of friends whose husbands surprised them with flowers, thoughtful notes tucked under pillows, spontaneous weekends away. To combat my jealousy, I instituted date nights, which he perfunctorily planned out at my prodding. I told him that I only wanted love letters for Christmas gifts, and now I have a stack of proof written in my husband's scrawl that he loves me — perhaps decidedly less meaningful proof, when delivered on assignment, but proof nonetheless. I've harangued and plotted and cajoled my husband into being more romantic, more showy with his love, only to discover what he said to me when we were first dating was the God's honest truth: "It's just not me."
And then my grandfather died.
Though he had been sick for years, I never really believed he would be gone.
The funeral was sad. The stories we told about him were funny. I cried through all of it.
And life went on.
A few years later, my grandmother came to visit. I had recently gotten a publishing deal for my first book. Over dinner we were discussing how exciting is was and I said, "I just wish Grandpa was here to see it."
She looked up at me. "You do?"
"Yeah," I said. "Of course."
She put down her fork. "I was always so worried that you didn't know how much he loved you. He could be a little, well, gruff, I guess."
I laughed. That was an understatement. But it dawned on me in that exact moment that even though my grandfather was gruff, underneath that rough exterior was an enormous amount of love. And I never questioned it for a second.
And though my husband is decidedly less gruff, I realized that two of the most important men in my life had something in common — they both loved me incalculably. And they both had unorthodox ways of showing it. I reached next to me, grabbed my husband's hand and squeezed it.
"Of course I knew," I said.
I looked at Fred.
Of course I know.

Geometry is a subject that is typically not very well taught. Proofs especially, are almost universally confusing to students. Many of my students in Tucson have started their tutoring with me when they were trying to get through a Geometry class. Geometry requires a different approach than Algebra. In order to be successful, you have to learn to "see" certain relationships and connections.
Geometry is different from any math that students have done up to that point. And because it is so different, one really needs an excellent (or at least a good) teacher in order for students to have a chance at mastering the basics of the subject.
This is especially true when it comes to proofs. And proofs are probably the most important part of geometry because learning to do proofs develops reasoning and thinking skills that are not taught in other high school math courses.
I credit the reasoning skills I gained in doing Geometry proofs with giving me a huge leg up when I was learning to program. And I was lucky. I had both an excellent Geometry teacher in school, and an older brother who enjoyed tutoring me. As a result. even though I initially struggled, I ended up really enjoying Geometry proofs. I learned to like the process of solving a mental puzzle. And this is the real gift, the real potential of geometry.
In addition, the SATs, ACTs, and Arizona standardized tests all expect students to have a basic working knowledge of Geometry. I have found myself torn between astonishment and tears when trying to tutor students prepping for the Geometry portion of standardized tests. Astonishment because there is so little that is really understood, and tears because there is so much material to cover.
Summer is the perfect time to prep for Geometry in advance, or to go back and fill in the Geometry gap. Students can do summer Geometry tutoring any time after 7th grade and on up. Geometry help can be formatted either as a small class, or as private tutoring.
I have created an 8 session geometry class that can give students a solid foundation in the basics of geometry. Mastering this material will make it easy to do well in geometry in school, (imagine knowing something before it is presented!), and provide the geometry needed for the SAT and ACT tests.
The topics covered are grouped into two parts. Part A is all about proofs, and involves learning to think logically and to "see" relationships. Part B involves using formulas to calculate areas, angles, and side lengths. Part B involves more number crunching, and memorizing.
Parts A and B can be covered over the course of 1 or 2 summers, and can be taken in either order.
Part A : Proofs and a few Constructions
- Parallel lines, corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, vertical angles, perpendicular lines, constructing the perpendicular bisector of a segment
- Proving triangles congruent with SSS, SAS, ASA, HL, and AAS, constructing an equilateral triangle
- Medians, altitudes, angle bisectors, more proofs, constructing an angle bisector
- Similar triangles and proportions. more proofs, constructing a parallel line
Part B : Area, Properties of Rectangles, Circles, Triangles, and Polygons
- Areas of Circles, Triangles, Rectangles, Trapezoids, and Polygons
- Calculating interior and exterior angles, properties of rectangles and other polygons
- Circles, arcs, tangents, inscribed angles, chords
- Special right triangles, the pythagorean theorem and more complex area problems
Each bulleted topic represents a 3 hour class session, so part A and part B are each 12 hours long, and the entire course is a total of 24 hours.
The classes can either be given in a small group format, or as individual tutorials of 1 hour and 30 minutes each.
Homework will be assigned. 😉

Google pushes back against competition concerns in Australia
Google has rejected calls by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) for tougher scrutiny of its operations, denying that it enjoys market power in online searches and advertising, Reuters reports. The global giant was responding to recommendations made late last year by the watchdog, such as increased scrutiny and a new regulatory body to monitor the dominance of tech giants in online advertising and news markets. "The preliminary report bases many of its recommendations on the mistaken premise that Google has market power in search, search advertising and news media referrals," Google wrote in a statement published by the regulator. "Google faces fierce competition from other providers, including vertical search sites like Amazon, Expedia, Domain and Carsales.com, many of which users access directly through mobile apps." The regulator had said the enormous market power of firms such as Google, which has a 94% share of web searches in Australia, and their opaque methods for ranking advertisements, gave them the ability and incentive to favour their businesses over advertisers. In preliminary recommendations that are subject to change, the ACCC also said the new regulator should have powers to investigate how the companies rank advertisements and news articles. Google rejected such a measure as unnecessary. It said the regulator had provided no evidence that regulatory review of Google's algorithms and potential recommendations for more disclosure about its news ranking would lead to higher quality search results. Meanwhile the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has supported the ACCC in calling for increased oversight of digital platforms and steps to bring them more fully into the nation's regulatory framework for content, notes Mobile World Live. ACMA chair Nerida O'Loughlin said in a statement that the ACCC "has made a clear case for bringing digital platforms into the regulatory framework for content delivery". She added: "We also consider that a single regulatory framework for content delivered across any platform should have oversight by a single content regulator, in consultation with local and international regulators."

School Spirit
If you are looking for a school with spirit, look no further! The Stanley Clark School enjoys a unified school spirit as the Stanley Clark Tigers while also encouraging a longstanding internal team rivalry. In 2015 the school opened Hiler Hall, a building created to house lower school classrooms, the new main entrance and offices, and which effectively joined separate parts of the campus together. At the grand opening of the facility, students wore shirts reading, "One roof, one school." One 2nd grade student observed that the shirts should read instead, "One school, one heart."
At Stanley Clark, middle school students help preschool students to their classrooms from the car line each morning. 4th grade students assist kindergarten students with shared projects and service learning via the Kinderbuddy program. The Stanley Clark athletic teams compete in six sports with the support of fellow students across all divisions. A love for and loyalty to The Stanley Clark School is evidenced during severe winters, too, when students have been known to ask the Head of School to "please have school!" rather than another snow day.
Olympic Day
Perhaps the most distinguishing aspect of The Stanley Clark school spirit is the presence of an internal team rivalry dating back to the 1960s. Students are assigned a team at the end of their 4th grade year, either Miami or Iroquois. Students whose older family members were Miami or Iroquois are assigned the same team, so lasting are the loyalties for one's respective team. The rivalry occurs yearlong as teams earn points through various athletic competitions and activities, and culminates with an annual Olympic Day. Alumni far and wide tune in to cheer for their teams and to track the official point tally.

Playlist: Adele's 'Skyfall,' plus 10 more
- 'Skyfall' could rival classic Shirley Bassey Bond theme songs
- Other notable songs this week are by Dwight Yoakam, Iris DeMent, Tift Merritt
Adele's first post-21 tune may be the best James Bond song since Garbage's The World Is Not Enough. It's closer to Shirley Bassey's Goldfinger and Diamonds Are Forever, in style. Full of femme-fatale intrigue, it works subtle spy guitar and the Bond-theme motif into its orchestral arrangement
USA TODAY music critic Brian Mansfield highlights 10 intriguing tracks found in the week's listening.
Merry Go 'Round, Kacey Musgraves
Musgraves has huge country buzz,and playing her debut single is like hearing shadows sing in Miranda Lambert's The House That Built Me.
Rock It All Away, Dwight Yoakam
This cut of country-twang-meets-'60s-psychedelia couldn't sound more like Crimson and Clover had it tried. Oh, wait: It did.
Founding Fathers, Will Hoge
Fed up with both sides' election-year blathering? Turn off cable news, turn on to this Nashville rocker's Modern American Protest Music EP.
Only God Can Love You More, Jerrod Niemann
Neimann's Free the Music is 2012's best country album for headphone listening, and this track's a stunner, sonically and emotionally.
Emmylou, First Aid Kit
You'd expect gorgeous harmonies from a song offering to play Emmylou Harris to a boy's Gram Parsons. And this Swedish sister duo delivers.
Sing the Delta, Iris DeMent
The title cut from DeMent's new album is a love song to the South, her drawl caressing the lyrics like a Stax Records piano-triplet groove.
Till My Body Comes Undone, Charlie Peacock
Peacock's No Man's Land is rich in roots both geographical and spiritual, and this reflective, metaphor-filled tune is especially lovely.
A Mother's Prayer, Keith and Kristyn Getty
Two of today's top modern-hymn writers add this and 10 other songs to the canon on the Celtic-inspired Hymns for the Christian Life.
Best Songs Come From Broken Hearts, Bonnie Bishop
Bonnie Raitt recently cut Bishop's Not 'Cause I Wanted To. On this track, Bishop's wracked-soul delivery puts her in that Bonnie's league.
Too Soon to Go, Tift Merritt
Written when she learned her father had cancer, Merritt's exquisite plea reveals how much of him stays with her no matter where he goes.

Why Woman, this storm?
When all is falling in place
Where have you been to?
Which forest, at what pace?
Why, the kohl- lined eyes
Are smudged with fire?
And sometimes the words you utter
Seem to char the world;
From whence the ire?
Why woman, this storm
Whatever happened to your
Slow rhythmic ways?
Where have you been to?
Were there wild animals….
Demons, who messed with you…..
You, a slight flower,
That blossomed with an amorous ease;
Have sojourned so far,
-By tempests and the wild seas.
Stand by your inner self,
Your power intimidates.
Even the most tyrannous hurricane
At your command;
Why woman, this storm,
You can slow down
And rest in shade.
Blossom again with a fierce softness….
Be the perfect blend;
Lead the charade.

Muslim American's Facebook Post Goes Viral for the Best Reason
Mahmoud ElAwadi, and Egyptian Muslim from Orlando, Florida, made a powerful statement on Facebook about Muslims in America.
Deeply hurt and angered by the actions of Omar Mateen, the shooter who killed 49 people and injured 53 others at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, ElAwadi makes the point that terrorism "has no religion."
He compares the attack to last year's church shooting in Charleston, South Carolina.
"In both attacks it didn't matter what was the attacker color, his religion, his back ground cause (sic) lives were lost and they will never come back," he writes on Facebook. "Terrorism has no religion, terrorism has no color, terrorism has no country."
Just hours after the shooting, ElAwadi donated blood, along with hundreds of other Floridians, many of whom were waiting in line for hours and hours in order to donate.
He shared a photo of himself giving blood despite fasting for the holy month of Ramadan "just like hundreds of other Muslims who donated today here in Orlando," he writes.
"Yes, I witnessed the greatness of this country watching thousands of people standing in 92 degree sun waiting on their turn to donate blood even after they were told that the wait time is 5-7 hours."
His powerful message about togetherness resonated with hundreds of thousands online, as his post has been shared over 180,000 times and received heart-felt messages.
"Yes, our blood all look the same so get out there and donate blood cause our fellow American citizens are injured and need our blood," he continues.
"Yes, our community in central Florida is heart broken but let's put our colors, religions, ethnicity, sexual orientation, political views all aside so we can unite against those who are trying to hurt us."

Affordable diagnostic color. Designed to meet the demanding needs of healthcare facilities requiring consistent and accurate medical imaging using Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), the LED-backlit NEC MultiSync MD210C2, a 21.3" 2MP color monitor, features factory calibration to the DICOM standard for luminance. This 4:3 aspect ratio monitor, which maintains a designated calibrated brightness, also includes a human sensor that reduces power consumption when a user is not present. The all-digital connectors, including DisplayPort and two-port USB hub, enable advanced connectivity for any type of workstation.
Out-of-the-box calibration to the DICOM grayscale display function for luminance
Integrated tri-stimulus (three-color) sensor receives more light information than standard (brightness only) sensors and, therefore, is extremely accurate and stable
GammaComp™ MD QA software ensures consistent image quality, while providing a simple interface for conformance to the DICOM standard and an easy-to-use QA environment for medical imaging
14-bit 3D internal programmable lookup tables (LUTs) enable precise calibration
Auto luminance control with backlight stabilization for consistent brightness and color
Built-in ambient light sensor automatically adjusts the display's brightness based on existing lighting conditions, reducing energy consumption
Quick QA feature allows for a one-button check of DICOM conformance
