Average Speed, Distance and Time
1. The velocity of an object is the rate of change of its position. As a basis for understanding this concept:
- b. Students know that average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the total time elapsed and that the speed of an object along the path traveled can vary.
- c. Students know how to solve problems involving distance, time, and average speed.

A Winning Play
I grew up in a hardcore football town – a real-life Friday Night Lights (I played the bit part of a girl who got shoved into lockers by cheerleaders). Ah, high school politics.
But what this middle school football team did for their classmate, Keith, is our feel-good moment of the week. Keith is a learning disabled student whose struggle with boundaries manifests itself in the sweetest way – a need to hug everyone. Little did he (or the football coaches) know, that the whole team was conspiring to embrace him right back.

Now in its third year, EN MASSE at Thompson Giroux presents a wide selection of contemporary work from over 40 artists--many who have shown there previously along with some new faces. This year's guidelines allowed artists to exhibit work within an expanded range of sizes, giving the show a different look and feel than in previous years. As usual, the pieces in EN MASSE are all new—artists were encouraged to experiment, challenge themselves, and branch out, and the resulting work provides a fascinating look at where they might be heading next.
Experienced collectors may find pieces that expand or enhance their exploration of a favorite artist or theme, and the show is full of possibilities for new collectors with the variety of disciplines, subject matter, and media represented. Paintings, prints, drawings, collages, photographs and sculptures hang interspersed. This exhibition is ever-changing— as work is purchased it is replaced with another work of art.
This is a very exciting time at the gallery. At EN MASSE III more is more, and the smaller-scale work allows the artists and the gallery to reduce the cost of acquiring original art, creating a wonderful opportunity to bring more art into your home.
Thompson Giroux Gallery is located at 57 Main Street, Chatham NY 12037.

Review: Stop the Pounding Heart
Somewhere between a documentary and a staid drama where people play themselves stands Italian-American director Roberto Minervini's gorgeously realized and slowly paced Stop the Pounding Heart. It's not 100% documentary truth, but it comes with a commitment to raw austerity and an eye for subtle human drama that makes it unique. It probably won't be for anyone with mainstream tastes, but the final film in the director's "Texas trilogy" – following The Passage and Low Tide – has a visceral power that will stun art house audiences who prefer the visual poetry and subtle emotion of Terrence Malick and Nicolas Pereda to standard documentaries.
Sara Carlson (who appears in The Passage) is a teenager growing up in Waller, Texas on a goat farm with her parents and eleven other siblings. The family believes in the power of the unit and the lord, homeschooling their children to keep bad influences out and espousing the importance of the purity rings they're given when they turn 14. Colby Trichell (who appears in Low Tide) is a good ol' boy teenager living in a trailer park near where the Carlson family sells their milk and cheese. He practices his bull riding, shoots guns with his family, drinks with buds, and speaks like a laid back Texan surfer. Their lives overlap only in passing, but Sara's noticeable feelings of tenderness towards Colby will force her to think about what it means to be a good Christian.
Minervini does a better job of blurring the lines between reality and drama here than Robert Greene did in his similarly lauded Actress from last year, mostly because there doesn't seem to be much for the filmmaker to manipulate or skew towards his dramatic goals or personal opinions about his subjects. Described as a "deeply personal" look at "the new poor" by the filmmaker, it's a picture of a family in spiritual, emotional, and financial flux. There are subtle moments where it's made known that times are tough for the Carlsons, but they're so resilient that cracks in the facade rarely show. With the exceptions of Sara giving her obviously stressed mother a shoulder rub while at the market and a moment where her father rather cruelly berates her out of nowhere for not knowing how to properly install a fence, this appears to be a strong family unit that's aware of the presence of the camera. The handheld cinematography combined with Minervini's sense of his locations leads to a film where you can almost smell the summer rains hitting the paddocks.
If the authenticity of these events has been manipulated, it has been done with a remarkable amount of respect and control. Only a brief sequence when Sara and Colby come across a burning cross at night raises a few eyebrows about its inclusion and relevance. For the most part the filmmaker follows his subjects at a safe distance; preferring to be one of the flock rather than the one steering it. Minervini doesn't seek to tear down the myth of religion, but he's respectfully skeptical towards the spiritual leanings of the Carlsons. This manifests itself through Minervini's depiction of Sara's blossoming into a potentially progressive woman. When Sara's mother explains to her the biblical belief that women are to remain subservient to men (and that it's somehow a stronger thing to do than being your own person) or she's chastised by her siblings for saying that she never wants to get married, the young woman rolls her eyes and tries her best to keep her un-Christian thoughts to herself.
It builds to a final moment of catharsis for Sara that delivers the final point of the film. It sucks growing up regardless of who you grow up around. All human beings are works in progress, but nothing can match the internal terror of being a teenager. It's a nice final note in a remarkably humanist work.

Andhra Bank on Monday plunged more than 14% intraday after the Enforcement Directorate on Friday filed a charge sheet against former Andhra Bank director Anup Prakash Garg in connection with a Rs 5,000 crore bank fraud involving Sterling Biotech Ltd (SBL) of the Sandesara group of companies. Volume was heavy indicating long term players in control in the markets.
In its supplementary charge sheet, the ED claimed that the Sandesaras had paid over Rs 1.52 crore to Garg as quid pro quo for facilitating bank credit and other transactions. Garg was arrested by the ED on January 12 and is in judicial custody. The agency has attached his properties worth Rs 1.23 crore.

More Data on Why People Change Churches
The faithful are restless, a new study of Protestant churchgoers suggests.
They're switching from church to church, powered by a mix of dissatisfaction and yearning, according to the study by LifeWay Research. The organization is part of the publishing arm of the Southern Baptist Convention, the nation's largest Protestant denomination.
Most of the switchers who changed their house of worship without making a residential move (58%) say their old church failed to engage their faith, or put their talents to work, or it seemed hypocritical or judgmental.
But 42% of the people say they switched because another church offered more appealing doctrines and preaching or the preacher and church members' faith seemed more "authentic."
"We may believe in the same doctrine, the same God and study the same Bible, but we are also imperfect human beings who mess up, who are not always living out those beliefs," says Scott McConnell, associate director of LifeWay Research. He adds in the rise of "consumerism and narcissism" — when people expect to customize every experience to personal taste.
More than half (54%) of switchers changed denominations as well. Fewer than half (44%) said denomination was an important factor in choosing a new church.
The study, conducted in December, surveyed 632 Protestant adults who said they switched churches. For findings on the 415 people who had not made a residential move, the margin of error is plus or minus 3.9 percentage points.
Here are some specific results of the survey:
Why they left their old church
• Disenchanted with the pastor or church: 51%
• It wasn't fulfilling their needs or the reasons they attended: 44%
• Something changed about the church: 33%
• Felt out of place at church: 31%
• Could not agree with church teachings or positions on issues: 27%
Why they chose a new church
• Beliefs or doctrines of the church: 89%
• Authenticity of church members/pastor: 88%
• Quality of the preaching: 87%
• Prefer the worship style: 80%
• Found more evidence of God's work/changed lives: 76%
• New church cares for the community: 76%
Read it all. Note that doctrinal disagreement played only a modest role in church changing--most of the reasons given for changing were local--problems with the church or minister. I also think that the most interesting statistic is that while more than half of those who changed congregations also switched denominations, fewer than half said that this was an important reason in choosing a new church. The lesson here for mainline churches like my own is that it is the quality of the worship experience and faith community at each individual congregation that matters most.
By the way, I think Nicholas Knisley's comments in the post below are quite timely in light of this study.
Hat tip to Episcopal Cafe for pointing me to this article.

It's like a night and day. It's a no-brainer decision to use Lobster Place. Quality & customer service are great.
I push all of my friends and especially my cooks to 'Run over to the Lobster Place!'... They have fun stuff that inspires me that I can work with.
I can sleep easy at night when I order from Lobster Place.
You know your product and are straightforward and polite.
I know that daily, I can depend on a great product coming into my restaurant. For me, the ingredients are the most important part. Everything I get from them is really great...Their tuna is great. Any sashimi-style fish is really great.
In the seafood industry with near-zero levels of trust, you can trust Lobster Place to tell the truth and not try to get something past you that you don't catch.

"Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue" is a song written by Richard Leigh, and recorded by American country music singer Crystal Gayle. It was released in March 1977 as the first single from Gayle's album We Must Believe in Magic. Despite the title, Gayle herself has blue eyes.
The song became a worldwide hit single. In the United States, it topped the Billboard country music chart and was Gayle's first, (and biggest), crossover pop hit, reaching number 1 on the Cashbox Top 100 for two weeks, and number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 for 3 weeks, behind Debby Boone's smash hit, "You Light Up My Life". The album received Platinum status, the first by a female country singer. The song became Gayle's signature piece throughout her career. In 1978, the song won Gayle a Grammy Award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance. In 1999, the song was recognized by ASCAP as one of the ten most-performed songs of the 20th century. The song has a jazzy feel to it when compared to many other country songs of that era. Gayle had many more hit singles for the next ten years, such as "Talking in Your Sleep", "Half the Way" "You and I" (a duet with Eddie Rabbitt) and "I'll Get Over You", but none have achieved the same level of success as "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue".

AceShowbiz - Courteney Cox's 14-year-old daughter Coco Arquette stole the show at a recent charity fundraiser by joining Snow Patrol frontman Gary Lightbody onstage to perform a duet.
The budding young star, whose father is actor David Arquette, was part of a group of teens invited to sing with the rocker at a weekend (March 09-10) event benefiting the music-driven non-profit Chords 2 Cure, which aims to boost funds for pediatric cancer research.
Proud mum Courteney shared video footage of Coco and Gary teaming up for a rendition of the band's hit 2006 release "Chasing Cars" on Monday, and gushed about the unique opportunity the musician had granted for her little girl.
"I have overwhelming gratitude towards @garysnowpatrol for sharing his time to perform at @chords2cure," the former "Friends" star captioned the Instagram clip. "I just love watching Coco and Gary sing together."
Securing the duet can't have been too hard for Coco - her mum has been dating Gary's bandmate, Johnny McDaid, on and off for just over five years.
And it appears Coco may have a future in music.
"My daughter is an incredible singer," Courteney previously told People.com. "She is really good. I want her to have a hobby, to make her play the piano."
"She's got this instrument in her voice that I want to be backed up with either guitar, piano, I don't care, but she has to have an activity. That I'm strict about."
The actress split from Coco's dad in 2010 after 11 years as husband and wife. Their divorce was finalised in 2013.
She subsequently moved on to date McDaid, after being introduced by mutual pal Ed Sheeran, and the couple became engaged in the summer of 2014. The stars took a break in late 2015, before reconciling months later.

IntroductionAny project that is not trivial requires planning. It is my experience that this is where many projects fail. Skilled people can work very hard and still create something ineffective if it was not understood from the start what needed to be done. Therefore, in this and all of my courses, I stress planning. Planning does not require that every detail be worked out in advance, and, to be sure, plans need reworked and changed as a project evolves. However, those working on a project must have a clear idea of the goals of the project, or their efforts will likely be wasted.
Your ProjectFor your project, you will create a Marketing Plan either for Lorain County Community College's Web Development programs, or, with my approval, an organization of your choosing. The project will be done in two phases - the Rough Draft and the Completed Version. See syllabus for due dates. Here is some information about the Web Development Programs. For this assignment, I will be considered as the representative for the programs, so ask me any questions - through any of the communication methods listed for this class. For this assignment, the deadlines will be more strictly enforced.
Marketing Plan - FormatUse the following template for your Marketing Plan. You will need to write a paper (.doc, .docx, .rtf, Google Docs, or .pdf format) and create a slideware presentation (.ppt, .pptx, or Google Docs).
For your presentation, assume the presentation will be accompanying a speaker - although in an online class, you won't actually present it. Review standards for good presentation design.
Your paper should include the following sections. Your presentation should summarize the highlights and need not contain every section.
- Objectives - List at least 3 specific objectives the organization would want to achieve via their Social Media Marketing
- Target Audience Groups - List at least 3 different groups of people the Social Media Marketing would be geared towards
- Review of Social Media of Similar Organizations - Review and document what similar organizations are doing regarding Social Media Marketing
- Relevant Goals of Target Audiences - What do you feel the target audiences hope to achieve through interacting with the organization's social media... include 2 goals for each group
- Proposed Content - identify which Social Media channels should be used. For each channel describe:
- who would create posts
- how often posts would be created
- general description of content included
- how the content aligns with the organization's objectives
- how content aligns with Target Audience Goals
- anticipated issues
- Proposed policies concerning Transparency, etc - suggest policies concerning what should be posted/what should not be posted, how to handle negative comments and other issues relating to transparency
- Metrics - how should the organization measure whether their Social Media Market efforts are effective - be specific
Marketing Plan - Rough DraftFor the rough draft, you will turn in a draft of your marketing plan. For the rough draft, you do not need to turn in the slide presentation, just the paper. You will then be assigned another student's paper to peer review and offer feedback. You will post your rough draft to the drop box. I will email you someone else's draft. You will email the other student your feedback and upload your feedback to the peer review drop box. See the syllabus for due dates.
|Rough Draft
|0-3 points: 0-2 sections of the plan addressed in adequate detail
|4-6 points: 3-4 sections of the plan addressed in adequate detail
|7-10 points: 5-7 sections of the plan addressed in adequate detail.
|Peer Review
|0-1 points: Review not done, or inadequate in most respects
|2-3 points: Review is vague, incomplete or lacking in insight
|4-5 points: Review is insightful, detailed, specific and complete
Marketing Plan - CompletedHere is the rubric:
|0 points: missing or vague
|1 points: incomplete or vague
|2 points: complete and specific
|Target Audiences
|0 points: missing or vague
|1 points: incomplete or vague
|2 points: complete and specific

It is possible ideas from your Marketing Plan will be used!
I will create a video describing the project in more detail in the upcoming weeks.
The books: Social Media Marketing: An Hour a Day and Social Media is a Cocktail Party, were useful in developing this assignment

40 animals seized from Pasadena home
Goat, pig, kinkajou some of animals rescued
Animal Control officials in Anne Arundel County said they removed 40 live animals and a few that were dead from a Pasadena home that police have been investigating since August.
Animal Control officers and county police served a warrant at the home in the 8000 block of Lockwood Road on Thursday and said they removed two dogs, one cat, two turtles, seven birds, four chickens, one goat, one pig, one chinchilla, three snakes, 12 aquatic animals, three geese, one duck, one kinkajou (a rainforest mammal) and one tarantula.
Shane Taylor, who lives at the home, said he is not an animal hoarder.
"Was I neglecting them? Absolutely not. Was it too much for me? Yes, but I was not neglecting them. Too much for me as in I was going nonstop taking care of these animals, and my neighbors would tell you in a heartbeat they see me all day long taking care of the animals," Taylor said.
Molly West lives down the street from Taylor.
"Animals -- they were never a problem," West said. "He took care of them. He took very good care of them. They always were fed. They have that large property to roam on. It's not like they're on an eighth of an acre. They've got a decent size property over there."
Officials said a majority of the animals had no food or water, and the animals were being housed in unacceptable conditions. A dead rabbit and several dead quail were also removed from the home.
"Most of the animals we took from the residence did not have access to fresh food or water. Those that did have food had very little. Those that did have water, it was not palatable water that they could drink from," an Animal Control official said.
Police said they've been investigating the number of animals inside the house since Aug. 31, when someone brought the case forward over concerns for the animals' safety and welfare.
At that time, detectives said five animals in the home that are known to be able to carry and transmit rabies were confiscated by authorities and sent for testing. Shortly after that, 10 animals were voluntarily surrendered to Animal Control and eventually given to rescue groups or adoptive homes.
However, police said, Taylor then went out and got more animals.
Animal Control said charges are pending, but Taylor said he feels he was misled by Animal Control and was cooperating with them fully.
"This is spreading like wildfire that I'm an animal hoarder and everything, and I have all kinds of charges against me. I wasn't even told I have charges against me," Taylor said. "I have witnesses that were there when Animal Control said, 'If you cooperate, we won't press charges.'"
Animal Control said it is assessing the seized animals and will work with rescue groups to find new homes for some of them.

Ru Band Lu
National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan
Title: Anti-Inflammation and neuroprotective drugs benefit the treatment of heroin dependent patients
Distinguished Professor Ru-Band Lu graduated from National Defense Medical center Taipei, Taiwan, in 1972. He became a professor of Psychiatry at National Defense Medical Center in 1989. 1992 to 1993, he was a visiting scientist in Human Genetics at Yale University, New Haven, CT; he studied genetics, psycho-neuroimmune pharmacology. 2003 to 2009, he was the director of the Institute of Behavioral Medicine, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan, Taiwan. In this decade, he works in the developmental navel treatment model. He has published more than two hundred research articles in the recent fifteen years
Over activation of inflammatory cytokine and dysfunction of neurotrophic system have been associated with the progression of heroin dependence. Both memantine and dextromethorphan (DM) belong to non-competitive NMDA receptor antagonist, but low dose memantine/DM might possess anti-inflammatory and neurotrophic effects that are mechanistically remote from an NMDA receptor. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled 12-week study was conducted. Heroin dependence patients undergoing regular methadone maintenance therapy were randomly assigned to a group: Memantine (5 mg/day), DM (60~120 mg/day) or Placebo. Inflammatory markers and neurotrophic factors including plasma TNF-, CRP, IL-6, IL-8, TGF-β1, and BDNF levels were examined during weeks 0, 1, 4, 8, and 12. After treatment, significantly inhibition of tolerance to methadone was found in both in patients received memantine/DM compared to the placebo group; decreased methadone required dose was found in patients received memantine compared to the placebo group. In addition, significantly reduced plasma tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) was found in both in patients received memantine/DM compared to the placebo group while increased TGF-β1was found only in the memantine group. Significantly increased BDNF level was only detected in patients received DM compared to the placebo group. We suggest that low-dose memantine/DM might be a feasible adjuvant therapy for attenuating inflammation, providing neuroprotection, and inhibiting methadone tolerance in heroin dependent.

Sunday reading for July 6, 2014:
1. Sharlyn Lauby at HR Bartender recently interviewed renowned leadership expert Marshall Goldsmith about (among other things) some steps executives can take in the space to become better leaders. I loved this one because I found the advice to be in line with some of the stuff I've been reading on execution (particularly around cultivating the skill of receiving feedback and its role in building strong teams). This is a great piece, which I highly recommend checking out here
2. Liz Ryan has a geeat post up on Linkedin highlighting some of the big mistakes job seekers make during the interview process. This piece is loaded with great advIce, but what especially stood out to me here was her suggestion that candidates focus on being human and being memorable. As a recruiter that has intereviewed hundreds of candidates, this nugget resonated because at the end of the day a strong impression is worth its weight in gold. Check the full piece out here.
3. Jacque Vilet just published a piece on Compensation Cafe summarizing common differences in the way various countries address matters of pay equity, who falls into different protected class buckets, and what these things more organizations as they setup shop around the world. Be you an HR generalist or comp wonk, this is an intriguing piece. Check it out here.
As always, please share your thoughts in the comments below. Best, Rory

KOBE, a major port in Japan, stands on a narrow fan-shaped plain stretching between a row of ancient mountains to the north and the Island Sea to the south.
For ages, the pure mountain streams have desposited rich fertile soil into the port of Kobe as they stretch out toward the sea. This ideal setting allows for the best grazing pastures for the most tender beef, and rich plentiful seas for the best seafood.
World renowned for its culinary delights, Kobe brings to Hickory a rich heritage in a relaxing traditional atmosphere. KOBE features the traditional Teppanyaki (flat iron grill) form of cooking. Whatever your taste choice, each morsel is gastronomically joyful. Equally important is its skillful presentation for your visual appetite. May you enjoy a taste of Japan!

How many times have you been at a major sporting event, wanting to send a photo out to your world and not had mobile service? A lot? I know I have. But with the demand on the telecommunications system of my provider, many times I haven't been able to. Well, in a TV commercial from T-Mobile, they play on this inadequacy with their competitors' service to hit a home run. (Well, almost. In the commercial, Pittsburg Pirate outfielder Andrew McCutchen actually catches the ball).
But while he's catching the ball, spectators nearby are clicking photos and then sharing them on the T-Mobile network. Wow. That hits home.
So, is the product (T-Mobile's service capacity) better? The commercial sure says that, and it says it in a way that visually communicates its superiority over the other carriers.
What's your competitive advantage? Have you clearly identified it? Are you communicating it in a powerful way over and over again to your target audience? T-Mobile sure has.
Every company, product or service that has relevance has a competitive advantage. If it doesn't, it's probably not going to be around very long. But sometimes, it's hard to identify. Research can help you better understand it, but it's still hard to zero in on it.
Take time to go through this process. It will help you position yourself favorably against your competitors and give you the edge to go after their market share. Good luck.

Fleetwood Town have been linked with Ched Evans but boss Joey Barton believes that in Conor McAleny he already has a striker who can repeat the feats of last season's League One show-stopper Nick Powell.
READ MORE: Fleetwood sign midfielder James Wallace
Fifteen-goal Powell was named in the League One team of the year as his scintillating form helped Paul Cook's Wigan to clinch the title.
And Barton believes he has a player with the potential to be the best in the league when the season kicks off in a fortnight.
Liverpudlian McAleny will be close to home tomorrow, when Town visit League Two newcomers Tranmere Rovers for a friendly.
The Everton academy product's first Town season was disrupted by a foot injury but he still managed 29 League appearances, the highest total of his career, and scored five times.
McAleny, 26 next month, suffered a knock on Town's tour in Hungary last week but had recovered to play in the win over Zalaegerszeg TE on Saturday.
Town flew home the following day and now McAleny, who scored in this summer's first two warm-games against Southport and Salford City, is looking forward to more minutes on the Wirral tomorrow.
And Barton, who has seen his side win all five pre-season matches, said: "Everyone knows how good a player Conor is. It is just getting him into his groove.
"For me, when he gets into his groove he can be easily the best player in this league.
"You saw Nick Powell last year for Wigan and I think Conor has that ability."
Fellow striker Paddy Madden is Town's top pre-season scorer with three but Barton says the goalscoring burden should not rest solely on the strikers' shoulders.
He believes his side will need to score 70-80 goals to win promotion. Last season's top two, Wigan and Blackburn Rovers, scored 89 and 82 respectively.
Fleetwood, who netted 59 and finished 14th, haven't had a 20-goal man since Jamie Vardy in 2011-12. It's why Barton is looking to add to his strikeforce and has been linked with Preston's Eoin Doyle and Sheffield United's Evans, both of whom have bagged 20 in a League One campaign.
Madden also fits the bill for Barton, who said: "Paddy has scored bundles and bundles of goals all through his career.
"We have got to get 70-80 if we are going to get promotion and they have got to come from all areas of the team.
"The whole team has got to weigh in."

When you decide to use flyers in an advertising campaign, you have two potential major problems;-
1. The flyers not being seen by your target audience.
2. The time it takes to distribute them yourself.
If you hand out your flyers to members of the general public, on average 99.5% of them will not be acted upon. This means for every 200 you hand out, you might get one response. It's far better to target members of the general public who are likely to use your services.
For this example, I will use a gardener. The first thing he must do is think about his target audience. They are people who for whatever reason, do not want or are not able to do the garden themselves and who can afford to pay someone to do this task for them. There should be a list of these potential client types in the gardener's business plan. It might be a good exercise for the gardener to make a list of these people and where they are likely to see his flyers.
Affluent and elderly
Not able to do the garden themselves.
Private bungalows in affluent area/flyer in letterbox, local shops in affluent area/flyer in shops, garden centres, old peoples clubs/centres.
I would do this for the rest of the target audience and think about where they are likely to see your flyer. This way you will increase your chances of people acting on the flyer, instead of just throwing it away. The other problem the gardener may have is the time it takes to distribute them. Maybe he could have some sort of referral scheme. On the flyer you could have a blank box where you could place a code on a sticker. The flyer would say "For this limited offer, quote this code for a 10% discount".
Each code would relate to a particular friend or family member. The idea is that you get a quantity of flyers and some small sticky labels with a code printed on them, which is unique to that friend/family member. They will stick their sticker bearing the code in the blank box next to "For this limited offer, quote xxx for a 10% discount". They will distribute the flyers for you and when you get a phone call quoting the code, you give the friend/family member an agreed fixed fee or a percentage of the sale.
To do this there has to be some form of trust involved, but it will encourage people to distribute the flyers for you. Perhaps you could keep a record of the number of flyers given to the person, the date given, the number of enquiries generated as a result and when the person asks for their next batch. This would give you a rough idea of how many have been delivered by the person.

It was supposed to be an exciting day for the long-awaited new 90 gallon aquarium; however, upon arriving home and removing the cardboard protection. I noticed at the bottom, the glass cracked. I have contacted the respective company for warranty replacement, and I will provide an ongoing update about it for future reference. I decided not to list the company's name for now until I get an overall unbias opinion about their customer service. Since it is my first manufacturer defect warranty claim regarding an aquarium, I do not know the outcome of how this will proceed.

Kingsville, Leamington mull idea of shared police station
Kingsville and Leamington are in opening talks today about the possibility of sharing a police station.
The municipal neighbours are both policed by the OPP. Leamington's police station, on Clark Street and attached to its fire headquarters and the Ontario court building, is the newest and most spacious of any detachment used by the OPP locally.
Rebuilt in 2000 before Leamington scrapped its municipal force in favour of the OPP, the station could easily accommodate Kingsville's officers without any additions to the building, said Leamington Mayor John Paterson.
Kingsville, meanwhile, needs to renovate its aging Division Street South station, said Mayor Nelson Santos.
Kingsville will spend an estimated $46,500 in utilities, janitorial services, building maintenance and insurance this year to run its OPP station.
Putting some of that money toward renting space in Leamington would be beneficial to both municipalities, Paterson said.
"The potential for savings should be there," Paterson said. "We have to have a look at it to see if it makes sense."
Leamington spent $106,000 keeping the lights on and cells clean in its police station last year. This year, $93,000 is budgeted for utilities, janitorial services, insurance and other building overhead costs. The town also squirrels away money each year into a capital reserve fund to pay for larger expenses like a new roof, said Cheryl Horrobin, Leamington's financial director.
Santos said in addition to sharing building costs, the two municipalities may be able to share clerical duties if officers from both towns were under one roof. "That would be a savings, too," he said.
Santos said, while it may be possible for Kingsville officers to be stationed out of Leamington, Kingsville would still want police presence similar to the second office it currently operates in Cottam. "We'd still want to maintain a storefront."
Kingsville had been invited to join in the construction of a county detachment that would also serve Essex and Lakeshore. Tecumseh bowed out of talks, and Leamington, saying it wasn't interested, was not figured into the draft plans. The detachment, to house 85 officers and 10 civilians, would cost an estimated $6.8 million to build, not including the cost of land. The detachment, to be centrally located, would likely be built in Essex.
Without Tecumseh and Leamington, the single-detachment plan isn't as attractive financially, Santos said. "This may make more sense," he said of a "partnership" with Leamington.
Kingsville and Leamington's police services boards, made up of the mayor, a councillor and community representatives from each town, will meet today in Leamington. "This is just our first meeting," Paterson said.

Main Roads Term Network Contract No. 2
To date, the BGC Contracting has successfully completed over 40 construction and maintenance contracts across Western Australia for Main Roads WA.
In 2000, BGC contracting secured a second term network contract for Main Roads WA. The contract, which covered a 10 year period, involved the maintenance of approximately 4,280km of road network in the Pilbara and Gascoyne Regions, and the Great Northern Highway north of Mount Magnet in the Mid West Region. BGC was responsible for routine maintenance, periodic maintenance, rehabilitation works, asset management of off-road assets, data management and minor improvement works.
To date, the BGC Contracting has successfully completed over 40 construction and maintenance contracts across Western Australia for Main Roads WA.
The contract was carried out using the same processes developed for BGC's first Term Maintenance Contract – Kimberly Region. Works were scheduled based on intervention levels and carried out in line with specified response timeframes. Routine maintenance was performed by the Maintenance Work Crews who travelled the network on a cyclic basis. Periodic, planned and rehabilitation works were generally completed by specific work crews formed on a project by project basis. Emergency response services were provided 24 hours per day, 365 days per year.
Over the course of the term network contract, BGC has greatly improved the condition of the road network since the commencement which was recognised by Main Roads WA. This performance is also recognised through the annual KPI results achieved.
Apart from this contract, the Great Northern Highway project, the Northam Bypass Project, Term Asset Contract No. 1 and Term Network Contract No. 2 are all further demonstrations of successful scopes of work that BGC Contracting have been awarded with Main Roads WA.

A compliment is a unique gift in that is costs nothing to give but can provide immeasurable value. Additionally, compliments don't just provide a boost in self-esteem for the recipient. They can also provide you with their attention. In the case of a guy who you find intriguing, this can turn their perceptions of you to someone who is also intriguing. Compliments however, aren't just words of appreciation or noticing something you like. Like any gift, choose a compliment with the recipient in mind and be honest and heartfelt. Give a compliment without expectation of anything in return.
Step 1
Identify what is important to the guy who intrigues you. Although you can resort to general compliments on how he dresses or his sense of humor, compliments that have the most impact typically focus on something about him that is unique. This can include his accomplishments, his passion about a topic or generosity. Speaking with him as well as people who know him can help you figure out the best approach to complimenting him. If you don't know the guy that well, look at cues as to where his passions lie. Photos on his desk of him at the finish line of a marathon can be enough information to opening up a dialogue with him. This dialogue can provide possible facts you can use for compliments.
Step 2
Think about how you want to give the compliment. Frequently, people cast out compliments much like they cast out a line when fishing, in the hopes that the intended recipient will "bite." Think about the delivery of compliments, particularly those you want to give to a guy who intrigues you, explains the Centre for Clinical Interventions in their online guide "Assert Yourself!" Being assertive means complimenting with confidence, not wavering through words and delivering them in a way that shows you cared enough to put thought behind them.
Step 3
Use a compliment just once. There is such a thing as too much of a good thing and this applies to compliments. Using a compliment repeatedly can thin the impact and cause the guy who intrigues you to lose interest. Additionally, relying on the same compliment can also cause the guy to wonder if your focus remains on one aspect of him or that he isn't that interesting, except for that one thing you keep complimenting. The impact of a single, well-timed, thought-out and single-use compliment is far larger than using the same line repeatedly.
Step 4
Time the compliment so that other factors don't dilute it. Timing is everything and you should time your compliments for maximum impact. Don't focus all your energy on giving the compliment, but be aware of ambient noise, such as people talking to the guy who intrigues you or escalated emotions that can devalue the compliment. The ideal timing is a quiet location at a time when emotions are calm but upbeat. This isn't a proposal, but it's important to give the guy the compliment in a time or place where they have time to digest and respond.

Mindy Romero, Ph.D. is the founder and director of the UC Davis California Civic Engagement Project (CCEP). Romero is a political sociologist and holds a B.A. in Political Science and Sociology, as well as an M.A. and Ph.D. in Sociology from UC Davis. Her research focuses on political behavior and race/ethnicity, and seeks to explain patterns of political underrepresentation.
Romero has been invited to speak about civic engagement and political rights in numerous venues, testifying before the National Commission on Voting Rights and the California Legislature, among others. Her research has been cited in major news outlets, including The New York Times, Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, Sacramento Bee, Politico and the Huffington Post. She has also been a frequent guest on National Public Radio, Capital Public Radio, and several other NPR-affiliated stations in California. She is a regular op-ed contributor to the Sacramento Bee.
Romero works with a wide array of policymakers, elected officials, voter education groups and community advocates to strengthen political participation and representation. To this end, she has served on a number of boards and commissions. She is currently a member of the Public Policy Institute Statewide Survey Advisory Committee, President of the Board of the non-profit organization, Mutual Housing California, and Vice-Chair of the Social Services Commission for the City of Davis.
The California Civic Engagement Project (CCEP) is a non-partisan civic engagement research and outreach initiative for the state of California and the U.S. Founded and directed by Mindy Romero, it is housed at the UC Davis Center for Regional Change. The CCEP provides data and analysis to inform public dialogue about representative governance. We believe that inclusive civic engagement can help overcome disparities in social and economic well-being, and can improve health, education and employment outcomes for all Californians. The CCEP has become a go-to source for electoral and civic engagement research, including the examination of nationally relevant election reforms such as automatic voter registration, online voter registration and vote centers. Legislators, public agencies, advocates, researchers, media (state and national) and community leaders use its pioneering research to track disparities and opportunities in civic participation by place and population.
Take Away Quotes:
"I think it's important, no matter what the numbers actually look like, the fact that we're having these conversations, the fact that we are bringing more awareness to the importance of engagement, period—no matter, by the way, what side you fall on. We're seeing engagement on all ends, I think, of the political spectrum."
"When it comes to looking at our history, we know that, not just in terms of voting but in other forms of political engagement and civic engagement, that participation is low. We have some of the lowest turnout rates in the world, and if we look at some of the standard measures of engagement—protesting, or sending money to campaigns, or writing to your congressperson, or joining a board or a commission, or that sort of thing—participation is really low, and it's really uneven across subgroups of the population. Those of color, and those that are young, participate even less."
"We need to continue to push for more engagement and more representative engagement."
"I would say that the local level is absolutely critical… at the local, that's where you can make the case to people that if they're worried about how their family is doing, their economic wellbeing, the quality of their water, affordable housing—these decisions are influenced by the federal level certainly, at the state level, but very much at the local level. And you can create that narrative to really show people what that connection is and how voting, participating, having a voice, speaking up at the local level can actually have a real, tangible, visible, immediate effect in people's everyday lives."

Young Australians – like myself – go abroad to teach English before they even understand it. Even with a university degree, the average young Aussie has a superficial understanding of the nuts and bolts of the language. We can write an essay on literature, but the study of language is treated as optional in most school syllabuses. Why is there a disconnect between the linguistic and cultural approach to language, and in particular, why don't we study Australian English as a unique branch of the tree?
In Australia we don't approach our linguistic culture with enough earnestness. To acknowledge that we actually speak a dialect of English (with distinct vocabulary, pronunciation, register, grammar and spelling) would go far to make the country more accountable and culturally harmonious moving forward. In addressing our multi-lingual/cultural history and future, Australian schools could teach an Australian English subject with an ethno-linguistic framework: this would be like how a subjugator admits they are not the benchmark in normalcy to address institutional discrimination, ie 'Australian' does not equal an Anglo-Celtic heritage. Nor is the country devoid of 'culture', as the self-deprecating adage goes. We do have culture here – the cringe comes when we don't recognise the multiple angles from which we can study it: Indigenous; British; European; South-East-, East-, South-, and West Asian; African; American; linguistic characteristics; elocution; media; literature, etc. If we give each lens the same gravity, we could start to understand Australianness and understand that culture is ever-changing and amorphous – not monolithic.
This is my proposal: grammar and vocabulary could be reintroduced into the syllabus, as well as combining Australian history, Indigenous studies, multiethnic literature studies, and study of distinctions within the national dialect we call an 'accent'. Addressing student motivation, we've seen that the internet has made it easier for Australians to reflect on 'Australianness' – polls to determine whether a fried potato snack should be called a 'scallop' or 'cake' or 'fritter' light up young people's sense of identity and spark healthy debate. We delight in nicknaming everything. We are keen to explain the country to people we meet overseas but there's not a comprehensive place in mainstream culture where we can cross-check our references.
My boyfriend sometimes points out my accent. We are an example of the 'trap-bath split' which is a feature of Australian accents. While he rhymes chance, dance and branch with romance – the short 'a' sound in 'trap' – I pronounce the vowel sound in those words with the sound a doctor requests you make when he has a tongue depressor in your mouth. My boyfriend's from Sydney, I grew up in Adelaide. While the classification is still being researched, and it's a tentative topic to claim with absolute certainty, the 'Adelaide accent' is one of the only 'regional' accents Australians will agree on, but it's not an identifier like accents can be in the UK or US. No one has made a TV show set specifically in Adelaide with actors from around the country attempting to round out their As for authenticity. The accent doesn't amuse audiences like the strange cadence of the Minnesotan accent on a show like Fargo.
For the most part, Australians tend to sound the same all over. In an 1997 study, expanding on the first break down of the Australian accent in 1965, researchers noted distinct sounds in three main categories: 'Broad', 'General', and 'Cultivated' – or, 'Fair Dinkum Strayan Cobber', 'Heaps Good Soy Lah-tay', and 'Put a Threw on the Carch'. Other less-researched categories include the ethnolect of first and second generation migrants (or the 'Fully Sick' accent), the ethnolects of indigenous groups (or, 'Deadly Fellas'), and the very specific and marginal idiolects like the 'Heathrow Accent' (the pronunciation of recently-returned-from-a-gap-year-in-the-UK Aussies, who now pronounce the T in 'water') and the 'Hollywood Screen Test Accent' of Australians working in the US, now pronouncing the R in words like 'far'.
Half-jokingly, I tell the international students I teach that Australians speak three Englishes: Australian, British and American. The reality is we are exposed to so many more. There are regional British dialects and regional and subcultural dialects of the States. We've had no choice but to grow up on a diet of these cultures through television and cinema and music, and we can still draw on our own unique vernacular in response. Already, young Australians are creating a dialect that reflects the culture they grew up in, and it will continue on, and on. My grandmother said 'cup of chino' and we corrected her; kids of second generation Italians remind us Phở is pronounced 'fur' not 'foh'. A glib example, perhaps, but a common belief among linguists is that children create the next iteration of a dialect, often disregarding the generation before them. In 2016, Australia was home to over 350 languages spoken at home or in the workplace. We are being influenced by language all the time. Australians are now even influencing the world (see: 'selfie', and most recently 'crack open a cold one [with the boys]'). Utterances not of our fair dinkum forefathers.
The unifier for Australians – by birth or recent – isn't so much a particular accent but the appropriation of Australian slang by the speaker. An ANU study in 2016 concluded that Australians trust and like people better if they use the colloquial Aussie vernacular. A broader accent helped, but using 'arvo', 'Woolies', or 'have a crack', for example, in any other accent – including non-Australian ones – didn't negatively affect the perception of the speaker (other biases weren't taken into account). Knowing the glossary of Australian expressions is held in higher esteem than hearing someone say 'chance' a different way to you. And what's important to note here is that by 'Australian expressions', we're talking about 'How's it going?', 'Maccas', and 'Devo' and not so much 'Cut the raw prawn' anymore. Language changes, culture evolves. What millennials accept as Aussie lingo today would seem foreign to a bushranger. The dialect of the baby boomers is vastly different to that of Banjo Paterson which in turn would be unintelligible to the children of the Second Fleeters. The quirks of the colloquial have been fed by generations of migration, and yet there's an ongoing perception that 'Australiana' is an Anglo-Celtic vestige, threatened by non-Anglo-Celtic arrivals (let alone even acknowledging Indigenous languages and cultures). Culture can't be held or owned by a group of insiders.
To implement my proposal would require an overhaul of the current state syllabuses, however. The country would need education reform. Teachers would need a higher level of training to deliver such a specialised subject. How do you train teachers not to bring their biases to the classroom? How do you convince the population this is a necessary subject to learn? If we did convince them, though, designing a curriculum teaching Australian Language/Culture is relatively easy compared with devising a syllabus to teach other languages. The Australian Bureau of Statistics (2017) found that only ten percent of students in Australian high schools take a foreign language subject in their final year. There is significant evidence suggesting language acquisition is good for our brain performance and elasticity, yet if we accept that Australian children should learn a second language, the question then becomes: which ones? As English is inarguably the most strategic language with the largest number of people learning it in the world, which language benefits us? The most widely spoken, globally (Chinese, Spanish, Arabic) or locally (Chinese, Arabic, Vietnamese)? The best for travel (Spanish, French, Arabic)? Emerging superpowers (Hindi, Portuguese, Chinese) or trade partners (Chinese, Japanese, Korean)? The answer to most of these would be Mandarin Chinese, but, as anyone who's learnt Chinese will tell you, there aren't enough hours in a week to learn it casually (according to the Foreign Service Institute, it takes roughly 4 times the hours to learn Chinese than any of the Romance languages, like Italian or Spanish). The other problem arises when a primary school offers a different language to the high school that a student ends up attending, which breaks the flow of learning – the student has to start from the beginning again. It will take forward-thinking leadership from state governments to choose the course of action for language subjects if they are to be an effective part of the student curriculum, but again, giving students the right quality and amount of tuition would require reformation.
Language drives Australia's immigration, too. Newcomers to the country would also benefit from a population that understands the process of linguistic and cultural integration. How would Australian citizens fare on current English language test metrics? Peter Dutton and the Coalition's proposed citizenship test changes emphasise language proficiency in new arrivals, yet could create an underclass of permanent residents who never acquire the standard of literacy even some Australians by birth would struggle with. Australia still sees its many languages as the exemplar of the country's multiculturalism, but insists on a homogeneous high bar, reinforcing the British dominance of our culture – even when the reality and the future look quite different. Australia's relationship to its cultural and linguistic multitudes has to change.
The lack of language comprehension in Australia should be cringeworthy: cultural cringe reacts to a perceived lack of culture, and yet Australia contains 'heaps'. How we construct the conversation around the trade of culture will determine how the country grows. Ethically, the real transformation the country needs is rooted in the definition of Australian whiteness and not putting the onus on new arrivals to justify their differences. Only by acknowledging how the dominant cultural discourse makers came to be and examining white Australians as closely as we appraise others can Australia mature into a country that really knows itself. Australians who assume 'sausage sizzle flat white stretched vowel' Australia is the default to which everyone will eventually assimilate forget that culture finds its own course. People at the grassroots know how to comment on Australianness and they're leaving the establishment of politicians and cultural gatekeepers running to catch up.

ADI Diary Management and Diary planning is an art form in itself. Learning to plan your diary efficiently can help maximise your time, boost your profits and reduce your fuel costs. It also enables you to 'work to live' rather than 'live to work'. Many new instructors struggle with diary management, so here are 7 tips on how to manage your diary more effectively, based on our own experiences. We hope you find the ADI diary management tips useful!
ADI Diary Management – Top 7 Tips
TIP 1 – Decide on your hours of work… and STICK TO THEM!
OK, this sounds pretty obvious I know. When you have a 'normal' job (i.e. in employment), you have a specific start time and finish time. You also know the days you have to work and the days you have off. Why make an exception now that you're your own boss? For many of us, it's the main thing that attracted us to becoming a driving instructor in the first place – working when we want to!
So what day(s) off do you want? What time do you want to start and finish work? Ok, so you may have to make the odd exception to fit in that new pupil on their birthday but having strict parameters will help you keep work contained within the times and days YOU want.
TIP 2 – Pre-plan your diary
Organising your diary into set time slots will avoid pupils requesting awkward lesson times which prevent you from fitting in other people… leading to more dead time! So for example, if you do 2 hour lessons, your regular slots might be something along the lines of 9.00am-11.00am, 11.20am-1.20pm, 2.00pm – 3.00pm, 3.20pm – 5.20pm and 6.30pm – 8.30pm (granted, you may occasionally have to deviate from these times for test bookings). Let pupils choose the best time for them in the slots available rather than allowing them to book when THEY want. A pupil deciding they want a 10.00am lesson can effectively cost you the first working hour of the day if you would normally start at 9.00am.
Pupils will fit in with YOU if you choose to run a structured system.
TIP 3 – Encourage pupils to take longer lessons
Many instructors offer lessons lasting 1 hour. Others have a minimum duration of an hour and a half or even 2 hours. Encouraging your pupils to take longer lessons will increase their rate of learning, decrease 'dead time' or travelling time between hourly lessons – thus maximising your work time and profits. A profitable ADI Diary Management tip.
TIP 4 – Book pupils in for several weeks in advance
If a pupil usually has the same time each week, it's a good idea to forward book the same lesson time in the upcoming weeks. Booking pupils in only one week in advance can be a real headache and prevents you from planning further ahead and can result in regular pupils losing their normal slot. Also, changing a pupil's lesson time each week will often lead to them forgetting their lesson or cancelling at the last moment. Just pencilling in the pupils first name, or highlighting the reserved lesson in a different colour on electronic diaries will keep it reserved until the pupil confirms their regular booking. This will make it harder for you to double-book or give a regular slot away by accident and can be done for many weeks in advance. It'll also help you identify what spaces you have left for your shift workers and new pupils.
TIP 5 – Subtly manipulate your diary
It's can be a real pain when a pupil wants their driving lesson smack bang in the middle of the day when the rest of your day is free, especially if your other pupils are already booked in! Or perhaps you have a couple of lessons in the afternoon and another pupil books the first lesson of the day leaving you with a gap in the middle of the day. There's an easy solution to this…
If the pupil can't see your diary (if you're using your phone, for example) then just offer the times you want to fill first, "I have either 10.15am or 1.45pm available on that day".
If you use a tablet or paper diary and your pupil can see it, this becomes a bit trickier and they may point to the middle of an empty day asking if they can have that time. To help you make sure pupils book the lesson slots you want to fill first, and to make your diary appear busy (great if you're starting up), add 'fake' names or shaded areas to areas of your diary that you'd like to fill last. This will mean pupils wanting to book in only have the opportunity to take the available time slots you want to fill first. For example, if the last lesson of the day is empty and you still have availability earlier in the day, use a fake pupil name and the pupil will have to choose one of the other available times. If it ever backfires and the pupil can only do the later lesson, you could always say you will ask if the other (fake) pupil will swap, (which they always will of course!) and it looks like you're going the extra mile to accommodate your pupil.
On another note, putting any "serial cancellers" as the last lesson of the day will occasionally net you an early finish! You can work on replacing any of these pupils with more reliable ones as you get busier.
TIP 6 – Manage your coverage area
Try to narrow down your coverage area, where possible. Yes, that's easier said than done for some people. If you're a new ADI, you'll probably have to start with a wide geographical area and narrow it down as you get busier. Or it may be that you live in an area that's not densely populated.
Either way, if you cover lots of areas, is it possible to give lessons in one area on one day and another area on another day to avoid longer travelling times and higher fuel costs?
TIP 7 – Learn to say 'NO'
I know what you're thinking… "Say NO? You're kidding right?!"
If you're building up a new business, this isn't normally an option. But if you're working your socks off and you get yet another customer wanting to book lessons with you, you have a choice. Start work earlier, finish later, work your day off OR simply choose to not take on the work at that time. You could start a waiting list – if the pupil definitely wants to learn with you, they will wait. Even if they don't wait, the supply of new pupils won't come to a complete stop because you said no, there will always be more! Finally, saying 'no' is proof of your popularity – any pupils that you turn away because your waiting list is full will still be more than impressed by how great you must be!
Let us know what works for you. Do you manage to get the time off you want? Do you find yourself hanging around in between lessons? We love hearing from you, so please add your thoughts and other ADI Diary Management tips in the comments below.
