Standards, checkpoints, milestones, learning objectives, etc… Our education system is framed around goals and expectations that children are pushed to meet at certain age/grade levels. As educators we are told to scaffold development and differentiate instruction to meet children's needs. However, there is also a push to ensure a child meets a set of standards by the end of a school year – despite the fact that meeting a learner on his or her level is important. When asking No Pro followers what is challenging in the teaching arena – the response is clear "fighting the urge to do xyz because kids who are six are supposed to do xyz". But, who defines XYZ? As educators we need to find resources that guide us to accurately define what XYZ should be. This is difficult because our surrounding teaching peers, traditional teaching arenas, and state/federal recommendations may send the message that a child should be able to perform at a certain level along a certain timeline. The first step to feeling comfortable about allowing children to grow at their own pace (no matter what XYZ states) is to back yourself up with research. Research allows educators to feel confident about the decisions they already know are the right ones – and back these decisions up with powerful evidence. Decisions made based on Developmentally Appropriate Practice and educator based research is more solid than following XYZ because the standards and cookie cutter assessment tools said so.
What research is out there that supports children growing at their own pace?
Developmentally Appropriate Practice
In the 3rd Edition of "Developmentally Appropriate Practice" Carol Copple and Sue Bredekamp define excellent teachers as educators whom recognize that "learning goals are usually identified for groups of children within a given age span. But, teachers must determine where each child is in relation to a goal and
adjust their teaching accordingly" (Copple & Bredekamp, 2009). As educators, we know our children best. We can gauge what experiences a child is ready for, asking for, and interested in. A manual or checklist of standards can not tell us what capabilities each individual child is ready to achieve or not. Cookie cutter checklist leave out critical contextual factors such as environment, culture, and emotional development. Developmentally appropriate practice is having a knowledge of how typical whole child development progresses and combining it with the ability of individualizing it to each child and classroom.
Language of the Wolves
Lisa Murphy the Ooey Gooey Lady provides educators with a document "What to Say When the Wolves Come Knocking" (http://www.ooeygooey.com/handouts/generalwolf.pdf) that empowers teachers with vocabulary that helps defend play practices. This document will provide a tool box for sharing how play is learning. Sometimes meeting a child where they are is about taking what they choose to work on – documenting it and translating that documentation into what benefits, developmental stages, and standards are being met during their explorations.
Children Know What they Need
Alfie Kohn shares the importance of considering what children know and want to know:
Taking kids seriously: In traditional schooling, as John Dewey once remarked, "the center of gravity is outside the child": he or she is expected to adjust to the school's rules and curriculum. Progressive educators take their cue from the children — and are particularly attentive to differences among them. (Each student is unique, so a single set of policies, expectations, or assignments would be as counterproductive as it was disrespectful.) The curriculum isn't just based on interest, but on these children's interests. Naturally, teachers will have broadly conceived themes and objectives in mind, but they don't just design a course of study for their students; they design it with them, and they welcome unexpected detours. One fourth-grade teacher's curriculum, therefore, won't be the same as that of the teacher next door, nor will her curriculum be the same this year as it was for the children she taught last year. It's not enough to offer elaborate thematic units prefabricated by the adults. And progressive educators realize that the students must help to formulate not only the course of study but also the outcomes or standards that inform those lessons -(Kohn, 2008).
The following link provides more information from Kohn about how progressive education caters to learning with children and not pushing them to be a part of a system that does not fit them individually: http://www.alfiekohn.org/teaching/progressive.htm.
When the Time is Right
Take a page from Waldorf. Waldorf education waits until about third grade to introduce academics in a structured format. It is not to say that the children are not intellectually challenged but their childhood is preserved in their younger years. Concepts are introduced through rich play, story telling, and artistically expressive experiences. Whether you adopt the entire Waldorf premise it is important to consider that Waldorf has a large following and history. If Waldorf's school of thought supports children being children and allowing children to be introduced to concepts "when the time is right" and these children have grown successfully as a whole child ( including academically) in society then why are public schools removing play from the early years? Why is the focus of elementary education (and now pushing into early childhood) on XYZ by a certain age?
What are you trading?
Finally consider – If you are pushing your child or student to achieve XYZ what ABC are you sacrificing. In other words consider that some children are great readers at 4. A rare find. But, most fluent readers at this age are lacking something else. Often they are not internalizing the story and lack comprehension skills. But, even more prominent in young prodigy readers we see a need for social skills to be more developed (cooperation, empathy, socialization). So these young readers can translate the text into speech but they fail to be able to work in a reading group. This is only one example. But, stop and think if XYZ is pushed before its time what ABC is being sacrificed – what part of childhood are we asking children to give up so that they can be academic superstars.

Are We Headed for another Great Depression?
Posted by Dean Morgan of Project Liberty
Some say we are, so at the end of this message I will discuss what you can do to prepare for it.
But first, what I am about to tell you may shock you. In short:
1. Government intervention made the Great Depression worse, not better. Depending on who's elected President, the same could happen again.
2. Too much government intervention, not a lack of regulation, caused our crisis.
3. The government is to blame, not irresponsible borrowers or greedy executives.
4. California is next in line for a government bail out.
5. Things will get much worse because of a game of financial chicken.
While we aren't anywhere near another Depression (25% unemployment then vs. 6% now), some experts say a Depression is actually possible, especially if government makes the same mistakes it made trying to fix the Great Depression which started in 1929. As a result, the stock market didn't recover to it's pre-Depression level until 1954!
***Government Regulation Made the Depression Worse, Not Better***
Contrary to the popular belief that President Roosevelt's big government programs caused a recovery, the Depression actually lasted much longer than it should have because President Roosevelt raised taxes and many businesses had to shut down leading to more unemployment.
***Too Much Government Intervention CAUSED our Current Crisis!!***
Will the Government save us this time? Don't count on it. You simply cannot legislate a recovery. In fact, while many are calling for more regulations, if history is any indication, government intervention is likely to make matters WORSE.
And more to the point, the current financial crisis was actually caused by TOO MUCH REGUATION, not a lack thereof like most people assume. Here's why:
Most of you know that lots of bad mortgages owned by Freddie Mac and Fannie May and other banks and brokerage firms is why we have a credit crisis. But exactly WHO is to blame?
DON'T BLAME THE BORROWERS: Sure, people shouldn't borrow beyond their means, but let's be real. When someone hands people free money for a house, car and anything and everything else, people will simply take it! It's human nature.
DON'T BLAME GREEDY WALL STREET EXECS: Yeah, sure they ARE greedy, but greed is an unavoidable in a capitalist society. Fear and greed drive free markets, and always will. The FBI is investigating some firms, and they might find a few instances of fraud, but the fact remains that if you allow people to make easy money without breaking the law, they will!
DO BLAME THE GOVERNMENT!!: Not only was what the wall street companies doing legal, but the government encouraged it! Even worse, some in congress prevented attempts by those who saw the writing on the wall to pull the reigns.
Yes, blame the Government, because well-intentioned politicians, starting with Bill Clinton who enacted some low income lending policies, FORCED Fannie & Freddie to increase their portfolios of sub prime debt to unprecedented levels so that poor people could own homes.
And to ensure banks were loaning to people who couldn't afford to repay the loans, a liberal group called ACORN, funded by Congressional Democrats, went around suing banks that refused to make what they called "financially irresponsible" loans.
In 2004 the Bush administration sounded the alarm and proposed legislative changes to reel in Freddie and Fannie that were voted down strictly along party lines in the Congress. In 2005 Josh McCain made another attempt, but the reform never made it out of the Democratic controlled committee to the Senate floor for a vote.
To ensure these bills would never pass, Fannie and Freddie spent hundreds of millions of dollars on lobbyists to ensure they could keep loaning to everyone and anyone. Senator Chris Dodd (D) Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee received the most campaign contributions of anyone in Congress throughout his many years. Barak Obama is #2 on the donation list after only 3 years in the Senate.
Here you can watch a bunch of politicians in one party saying Fannie & Freddie are just fine, while others try to sound the alarm unsuccessfully: http://tinyurl.com/3nkrp7
So, in the name of "fairness", bad loans were made to people who couldn't afford them, and the institutions doing the lending "kicked back" money to the politicians who protected them.
You see, it wasn't a lack of regulation, but government interference in the private market FORCING banks to make bad business decisions that caused this mess.
***California may be Next in the Government Bailout***
Because of the current credit crisis, the State can't get the loans it needs until tax time. The Governor has sent a letter to US Treasury Secretary Paulson stating that if things don't improve by the end of the month, the State will need $7 Billion. 15 other states are in the same situation!
***Chicken or Egg? A Nasty Game of Chicken***
Banks are simply unwilling to lend until home prices start to rise. But it's the availability of credit and loans that cause home prices to rise and fall! So banks and the housing market are playing a nasty game of chicken. And there's a lot more properties in foreclosure that will get dumped on the market adding to the current supply, with few who can get loans to buy them, even if they qualify.
Unfortunately, the "bail out" bill won't spark a recovery. It's simply a plug in a leaking dyke. Even worse, some experts say 1 in 8 jobs are related to housing. Plus people aren't spending, either because they won't or they can't. A new report says 1 in 5 car dealerships are about to fail.
***Prepare Yourself***
So what can you do? First, ensure you have reliable sources of income. Since anyone who has a job is susceptible to a layoff, ensure you have other methods for making money. In a down economy most people get hosed. Only a few prosper.
If you want to prosper too, determine who they are and do what they do!
In that regard, SOCALCIA has scheduled 2 of the most successful money makers in SoCal to speak: Jeff Adams and Bruce Norris. Jeff Adams will be our keynote speaker at this Thursday Oct 9, and Bruce Norris is coming November 20. Learn more at www.socalcia.com

Should Investors Use Gold as Hedge During Times of Financial Uncertainty?
"It is well that the people of the Nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for it they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning." –Henry Ford
Yesterday when the House of Representatives voted down the financial bailout package,
the Dow Industrial experienced its biggest one-day drop in the Index's 102-year history falling 777.68 points.
And there still is no financial plan in place to help revive the economy.
Historically during times of financial uncertainty, investors have turned to Gold as a hedge. This is because gold is the type of investment that is always an asset. (not simultaneously someone else's liability).
"Investors are leaning toward it as a hedge against what could happen next," says Carlos Sanchez, a precious-metals analyst with CPM Group.
But, according to the author of an article I found at www.InflationData.com , Gold is actually a "crisis hedge' not an "inflation hedge."
During times of crisis, governments tend to lose control over the price of Gold. However, during more peaceful times, governments are able to keep a ceiling on the price of Gold. This causes Gold to move up in a "stair step" manner.
The author of this article at inflationdata.com also says that gold as an inflation hedge has "a very spotty record."
But is Gold is a bad investment now? Of course not. However, I do tend to agree with the author's notion about why the price of gold has not done well over the last twenty years. (See image: price of gold over last 20 years).
The author infers that Governments have historically been known to buy and sell Gold on a whim to create an a sort of "illusion of stability." The low volume of the gold market compared with say the stock market also lends to it being seemingly easily manipulated by governments.
Most investors in my circle don't know that, up until about five years ago, it was illegal to invest in gold in China. When that market opened up, obviously there was an increase in worldwide demand for gold when China was free to buy Gold. (See image: price of gold over last 8 years) By 2006, the Shanghai Gold Exchange had become the world's largest trading exchange for gold bullion with its trading volume well ahead of London, New York, and Hong Kong! Now that's an incredible fact to ponder on when looking at the price of gold.
But if not Gold as an effective inflation hedge then what are some other inflation hedges?
Commodities ?
Price Inflation is defined as the increase in the costs of various commodities. (Although it is also caused by an increase in the money supply). The idea is that, by investing in various commodities, you should be able to at least break even. What commodities have historically done well in times of inflation? Oil. And oil is also a primary component of the increase in the consumer price index. Also, think about the fact that China is also increasing the global demand for oil along with gold. China will also increase demand for other precious metals. And what about world demand for food and what that will do to its prices? Yippee.
*Inflation indexed bonds ?
Yes, there is such a thing .These bonds have an inflation adjustment characteristic. But they are not adjusted according to the "actual" inflation rate of course.
Any other suggestions for inflation hedges besides the ones I've mentioned in this post? Or any thoughts on utilizing gold as an inflation hedge? Read more!

The other day I discharged one of my women on day 23. This may sound quite late to still be visiting women after they've had a baby but personally I feel that day 14 is too soon. Most women's partners are back at work after 2 weeks and that first week flying solo is really tough. You feel like you are constantly breastfeeding and the thought of even getting dressed and leaving the house is too much to cope with. So you stay in your pj's watching day time tv and eating chocolate biscuits, checking Facebook, taking selfies of you and your new baby and using those amazing Instagram filters to hide your bags.
I gave my usual schpeel about seeing your GP at 6 weeks, contraception, pelvic floor exercises, baby clinic and asked what her support network like. She rolled off all the classes her and her pals she'd met at NTC are going to do. Baby massage, baby sensory, baby yoga, swimming, power pramming, baby cinema. I was exhausted just thinking about all of that. I can barely fit in the 3 runs a week I am trying to do as part of my get fit routine this year. But I smiled a knowing smile and walked away thinking she will be just fine. It's all a big learning curve.
Because all that stuff you throw yourself into during maternity leave is really to keep you sane and get you out of the house. And you don't want to feel like you're missing out or that you're a bad mother for depriving your baby of any of those classes which are scientifically proven to increase their IQ (ahem).
So as a mother of 2 having gone through maternity leave twice and hated some days so much I wanted to scream and run back to work, I want to share with you the truth with some tips thrown in too, for your own sanity.
Maternity leave is expensive. Once your mat pay starts to dwindle, all those coffees and lunches out start eating a hole in your purse. But where's the pleasure in sitting at home drinking a Nescafe? Think wisely to saying yes to meeting friends for lunch. If you're meeting work pals in town during their lunch break they should really offer to pay as they're on a full time salary. If some of your new 'mum mates' live locally, take it in turns to host coffee mornings at each other's houses. Offer to make a cake or if you're living in the real world and have been up all night with your baby take a packet of chocolate Hobnobs. Chocolate always makes things better.
Baby classes are great but again so expensive. I paid for 10 mother and baby yoga classes at a local private gym. Total waste of money. My baby screamed during every position the teacher got us to do, even bouncing her on an exercise ball whilst singing 'Row Row Row Your Boat' didn't end her screams. I ended up sitting on the side breastfeeding her for the rest of the class and lying when the teacher asked me if I was doing my pelvic floor exercises. And you know what I learnt? I learnt that my baby was highly strung and hated the echo and noise of that place and at that time of the morning she wanted to be fed and then sleep in her sling. Lessons learnt.
Maternity leave is a competitive game. It's a constant battle of who's losing their baby weight quicker, whose baby is playing with what toy, who's getting more sleep, whose baby is reaching the next milestone. With my first baby I joined a postnatal already established group of 7 Mums. You know the saying 'too many cooks?' Well it was a bit like that. To this day 2 of them are still my really close friends but I found the big group meet ups stressful and one girl far too controlling and bitchy. It was like being back at school. With my second baby I already had friends with babies so I saw them separately and it was perfect. Everyone was a little more chilled and more into meeting up and swapping gossip rather than weaning tips.
Sleep deprivation pushes you to the lowest of lows. And once the night is over the day comes and babies don't sleep for long in the day unless they're being constantly pushed in their pram. This is tough. There were days were I wanted to be at home, getting house holds chores done, maybe do some cooking but my daughter like all babies wanted to be held, CONSTANTLY. Because that's what babies do. They don't really like those bouncer chairs for more than 2 minutes 24 seconds and no one can shower and wash their hair that quickly, never mind shave their legs. So my advice is get a sling if you have shit to do, or leave the washing and watch box sets whilst breastfeeding on the sofa. Stock up on loads of them now if you're pregnant and reading this. Ask for them if your friends want to buy you presents for your baby shower. Breaking Bad and Mad Men are my top recommendations.
Self help books made me feel like an idiot. 'How to get your baby to sleep through the night' books and 'How to get your baby into a routine' are more challenging that the task itself. Don't get me wrong, I know and have heard of many babies who have been trained to do this but not without a lot of stress and tears. A vivid memory of this was when my first baby was 6 weeks old and I was reading a certain book to try and established a routine to our misery. I was holding her in one arm as she screamed and scanning the pages of the book in the other trying to find the bit that said what I should be doing at mid day with her. The book clearly states that she can't be hungry as I had fed her only an hour ago and she needs some 'tummy time' on her play gym. It was mid day, she was screaming and screaming on her tummy under her horrible garish play gym. I looked at this hideously stressful situation I was putting her and myself in. So what did I do? I listened to my maternal instincts, picked her up cuddled her and fed her. And I promised her that I would throw that stupid book away and never do that to her again. We made it through the rest of the day just fine.
You will feel like a failure and that you can't do it. You know in labour when you said 'I can't do this is' and your partner and midwife said 'You can and you are doing this', well remember that. Because all over the country and the world other mothers are thinking the same thing. You're not depressed, you are just climbing the huge mountain of motherhood. And no one said it was easy, and maternity leave is on some days boring, and lonely and unfulfilling. And you crave your old life, and the job you left behind because you used your intelligent brain and felt stimulated and had proper lunch breaks and went for a wee without having a baby attached to your nipple. But you are doing just fine. Who cares if your baby is wearing a stained baby grow and you haven't done the baby massage your were taught in those stupidly expensive classes today. All your baby knows and needs is you. And that can feel overwhelming in itself. And the sleep does get better, and adjusting to motherhood takes time, plenty of time. Mine are 6 and 3 and I'm still adjusting. Share your fears and anxieties with your mum mates because we need to be sisterly in all of this and be honest with one another.
And just when you've got into the swing of it all and your baby is eating solids, and sleeping better and holding toys and actually enjoying going to play groups, your maternity leave is almost up. And you can't believe how fast the past 11 months has gone and you'll be riddled with guilt and questioning everything. 'Why did I complain that it was so awful, I'm going to miss my baby so much. Will my baby be happy at nursery/the childminder? Did I do enough? The answer is yes you will miss that small human you have spent every second of the day with for the past year and yes your child will be happy with the new routine of nursery/the childminder. And yes you did enough you survived, you will get a piece of your life back. And you will be a stronger human for it.

The honorable Margaret Go, a magistrate judge, and Alec Ostrow, a bankruptcy lawyer, visited Stuart Rothstein's criminal law classes. May 1 is considered to be "Law Day," and every year, there is a new theme. This year's theme was the Fourteenth Amendment, which addresses natural citizenship and equal protection for all people, meaning that states cannot discriminate against certain types of citizens.
The honorable Go and Mr. Ostrow explained the importance of the Fourteenth Amendment and how it is incorporated into their work. They went into detail of their careers and the things they encounter.
Ms. Go, who has been a magistrate judge for 24 years said, "The Fourteenth Amendment affects a lot of simple things."
She further elaborated on the significance of the amendment by speaking of previous life-changing cases linked to the Fourteenth amendment, such as Loving vs. Virginia.
Loving vs. Virginia was a case in which the Supreme Court annulled laws forbidding interracial marriage. Since there were restrictions on marriages due to race, the Supreme Court reached its decision by determining that it violated the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
Students in Mr. Rothstein's class said they felt the guest speakers gave them major insight on how important the Fourteenth amendment is.
Abigail Townsend'18 said, "I didn't realize that the Fourteenth Amendment was this important. It gives us all equal civil rights as well as legal rights, which is really important."
Since Mr. Ostrow is a federal bankruptcy lawyer, he doesn't deal with much criminal law and cases correlated to the Fourteenth Amendment.
"The Fourteenth Amendment usually applies to states," said Mr. Ostrow.
However, he still found a way to associate his experience in his career to the amendment and described how effective it is in daily life. For example, Mr. Ostrow said that if someone files for bankruptcy, they can't be discriminated against while applying for jobs, or that can be considered a violation of equal protection as well as Due Process, which is also a part of the Fourteenth Amendment. Due process states the government is obliged to respect all of the legal rights that are owed to a person according to the law.
"Seeing that Mr. Ostrow occasionally deals with the Fourteenth Amendment even though he is a federal lawyer reveals that this holds greater significance than I thought, and affects all of us" said Jemelia Moore'18.
Mr. Rothstein's students appreciated his efforts in bringing in guest speakers that helped them acknowledge the importance of the Fourteenth Amendment. Many students stated that schools often stress the importance of certain amendments, such as the First Amendment and Nineteenth Amendment (women's suffrage), yet don't emphasize the significance of the others even though they are all equally important.
Students who weren't in Mr. Rothsteins's class and weren't able to attend the lecture also thought it was a good opportunity for students to appreciate their amendments and realize how important each one is.
Fariha Nayab'18 said, "Even though I was unable to attend the lecture, I heard a lot about it. I appreciate that students were being informed more about amendments that we don't know much about, especially since they impact us deeply."
As the citizens of this nation, being aware of our political rights is something we should be well informed about.

"The Risk Management Made Simple Advisory provides thoughtful and unique perspectives from a knowledgeable risk management leader"
Dave Rubel, CA, Regional Director, Risk & Audit Services , Winnipeg Regional Health Authority
"If you do not make any mistakes, you may not be taking enough risk, but failing to take any risks at all may be the most dangerous type of mistake that a business can make."
Robert E. Mittelstaedt, Jr., author of Will Your Next Mistake Be Fatal? Avoiding the Chain of Mistakes That Can Destroy Your Organization
Many of us in the risk management field are risk averse by nature. In my own case, I started my career in risk doing quantitative assessments on issues of public safety. And a safety mindset is all about preventing incidents. I've noticed that people who come to the field of risk management from an audit background also bring a mindset of control. They typically see their role as one of preventing deviation from approved processes and procedures.
The downside of this prevention mindset is that many of us risk managers are not comfortable with innovation and experimentation. It feels too risky! So we try to design out any potential for mistakes in our risk management programs and implementation processes.
As risk managers, we should know that risk aversion is the most dangerous type of mistake we can make. Over the years, I've identified three common but faulty strategies that risk managers use as they aim for total control to protect themselves and their organizations from making mistakes. I've also found some simple antidotes.
I like to call this the 'If you build it, they will come' theory. In reality, this doesn't work. Any new or improved management approach, no matter how elegant, never inspired anyone to change their behaviours and practices by the beauty of its design alone. People need a compelling reason to embrace change.
If you want your people to adopt change, you always need to be thinking "What's in it for them?" Or to put it another way, before embarking on any new risk management initiative, always ask yourself "What value does this provide for my people?" For more on this topic, see the feature article in the December issue.
I know of no case where a risk management framework, tool or program was 'unveiled' and then spontaneously adopted by a significant portion of the organization. The reason is that people need to work out for themselves how risk management can improve their decision-making and ultimately produce better results.
You can help them on this journey of self discovery by asking powerful questions that will help them to connect the dots between the potential of the tools you are offering and the ultimate results they are seeking. Here are some examples of questions you can ask:
And most importantly, give your people the incentives, time and encouragement they need to cement their risk management learning into strong habits.
I like to call this the 'Big Bang' theory because it implies that a fully mature risk management program and culture can be introduced in one instant step. As the old saying goes, you can't eat an elephant in one bite! I have seen more risk management programs fail to get off the ground or stall completely because the risk manager was aiming for a perfect and mature program right away. This is a recipe for failure.
Every successful enterprise risk management program I know of started with a modest initiative and then built on that initial success, one small, incremental step at a time. There's no magic starting point. Rather, it is a question of being opportunistic. The book 'Risk Management for Dummies' by Beaumont Vance and Joanna Makomaski does a great job of defining some basic and practical steps to get you started.
The key thing is to act. As I like to tell my clients, you already know everything you need to know to take the next step towards enhancing risk management in your organization. You can conquer your fear of making a mistake by developing the action habit.
What is the action habit? Think about the single thing you can do today that will move your risk management program forward. Then do it. If that action is something that will also build your risk management capability and capacity over the long term, that's a bonus because you're acting strategically not just tactically. Strategic steps get you closer to your goals faster.
For example, if your organization is considering the introduction of a new product or service, offer to facilitate a risk assessment workshop. Use the workshop as an opportunity to train some key people in risk assessment techniques and to illustrate how risk management enhances their existing management strengths. You will have immediately expanded the organization's capacity to conduct risk assessments. Then invite wider use of the techniques by asking the workshop participants how they might systematically address risk in their own decision-making processes. The next time you need to do a risk assessment, involve some of your previous 'trainees' to reinforce their learning. If you can get opinion leaders involved in teaching others, it will generate more buy-in for risk management.
The important thing is to take your best shot. Think in terms of small but meaningful steps. If your small step fails, learn from that and take your next step. Keep taking small, opportunistic steps. Pretty soon, you'll have built up a strong risk management infrastructure and culture in your organization.
Avoiding mistakes can paralyze you. Many risk managers I meet are so afraid to make a mis-step that they never actually implement their programs. Instead they spend a lot of time coming up to speed on what systematic risk management is, then researching what other organizations have done, then cocooning for the planning stages while trying to come up with a comprehensive and mature program, only to move onto another position or career. Then, the risk management implementation task is handed over to a successor, and the cycle is repeated.
If this sounds familiar to you, take heart. You can break the cycle of paralysis by abandoning your attempts to plan the perfect program and instead focus on learning, i.e., continually adapting your plan so that it will move you closer to your risk management implementation goals. Notice that I am defining learning as adapting, not as an intellectual pursuit of acquiring knowledge. To convert knowledge to learning, you need to actually apply the new knowledge, and that means changing your behaviour.
In reality, all successful risk management programs evolve through a significant amount of trial and error. Yes you need an implementation plan. But keep in mind that a plan is only a guide. You will have to be creative to deal with the unanticipated opportunities and roadblocks that will inevitably occur once you begin implementation.
At The Conference Board of Canada's International Risk Management Conference held last month, Larry A. Warner, Staff Officer of Risk Management at Mars, Inc. presented a great case study of the journey his organization has taken to establish Enterprise Risk Management. What struck me most about his presentation, was the number of times he made statements such as 'we tried that and it didn't work' or 'we used to do it a different way, but have found something that is simpler'. It was clear that Mars' ability to adapt and adjust their approach was a key factor in successfully integrating enterprise risk management into their business practices.
The key thing to remember is that your organization is unique. Your organization's strategic intent, its culture, and its distinctive mix of capabilities and competencies are all unique to your organization. As a consequence, your approach to risk management must be custom designed to suit your particular risks, management strengths and business environment.
As with anything that is custom-designed, there will be a certain amount of adjustment needed. As one of my clients, Harry Diemer, Chief Executive Officer of the British Columbia Safety Authority, said recently, "every situation is different. Don't be risk averse because it will cut off your ability to innovate and be creative."
The Risk Wise bottom line…
To break the risk aversion habit, form two new habits: action and learning. At the start of each day decide on a single small step you will take to move your risk management program forward. And then take action. If things don't go exactly as planned, do not waste time and energy beating yourself up over it.
Instead, think of each day's outcomes (successes and 'mistakes') as a source of new insights. At the end of the day, reflect on the opportunities for improvement and decide how you will adapt your risk management implementation plan to make it more effective.
This discipline of decide-act-reflect-adapt can be applied to your daily activities as well as to initiatives that have a longer timeline. The bottom line is that these action and learning habits will help you to avoid the most dangerous mistake -- taking no risk at all.

Blue Rhapsody Hydrangeas
by Nancy Medina
Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Am I the only one who cringes at this time of year, when all the high school homecomings are in full swing, the football games light up the skyline in the evenings, and the mums are displayed the moment you walk into the grocery store? I wasn't one of the popular girls in high school. In fact, I never dated a single guy I went to high school with. Let me rephrase that, I was never asked out by any guy I went to high school with. It seemed like such a painful time back then.
I remember one of the popular football players asking me quite loudly, in front of most of his friends one day in front of the gymnasium, if I put my blue eye shadow on with a shovel. I was terribly skinny, had no idea how to style my hair, and never spoke aloud or made eye contact with anyone other than my best friend. I used to pray every day no one would notice me, or see me, or think of me, and I believed if I sat very still and kept my head down, I could be invisible in class.
Now I am thankful I didn't get caught up in all the small town drama. I'm so relieved I didn't marry anyone from the town I grew up in (population 5000, my high school graduating senior class had just 19 students!) If there was one wish I could grant, it would be to give those kids today currently living through this same awkward, lonely, ostracized time the foresight to understand that being shunned by the popular kids could actually be a blessing in disguise. Being a late bloomer could mean you will be one of the happiest. Leaving town to follow your dreams is one way to start. It sure can give you perspective on what you left behind....

text: Okay so I'm not really big on New Year's resolutions because most people quit them by the end of January but I am one of those people who thinks 2013 sucked a lot and am looking forward to a fresh start in the new year. So I've decided to put a little bit more effort into my appearance. I really like wearing lipstick but am terrible at figuring out what colors look good on me and inevitably end up picking out a shade that isn't flattering. I have a drawer full of ugly lipstick. Any easy tricks or tips to picking out a shade that will look good?

As a student, it's important for you to budget your time, energy and money to get the most out of your student life. You need to consider how much you'll need to pay for rent, food and other expenses, and the sooner you plan, the better off you'll be.
Here's an idea of what you need to take into account when planning your budget:
How much you spend on food will depend on your budget and lifestyle.
Eateries near our Manchester and Cheshire campuses offer an excellent selection of food from all over the world, from Malaysian to Spanish, Caribbean to Chinese - you'll be spoilt for choice. Most cafés and restaurants near MMU campuses have special 'meal deals' for students, making eating out even more affordable.
If you fancy cooking yourself, then even better! Preparing your food at home and bringing it with you will save you money.
Manchester boasts the busiest bus route in Europe. The city centre operates a free shuttle bus service between mainline railway stations and key areas of the city, and you can get unlimited weekly bus travel from as little as £5! To find out what's best for you, visit the Greater Manchester Transport (GMPTE) website.
You can also apply of a Young Person's Rail Card if you're aged 16-25, or in full-time education. This will save you a third off rail fares for a year and is great for going around the UK.
We offer new students a wide choice of accommodation, with everything from luxury en-suite rooms to more traditional budget rooms. You'll find an excellent choice of residential accommodation in 8 university-owned or leased halls in Manchester. In Cheshire, we offer an excellent selection of en-suite rooms in Booth Hall.
Whether you choose Manchester or Cheshire, we'll do our best to help all full-time first year students who apply by 31 August to find a place in an MMU hall or private accommodation.
You can apply online for your place in a hall as soon as you have firmly accepted your university offer to help secure your preferred choice of accommodation.
If you're applying for private accommodation in Manchester you'll also find it helpful to look at the Manchester Student Homes website, which includes information on popular areas, a tenant's guide, and contract help.
Going out in Manchester or Cheshire doesn't have to be expensive. As student-friendly locations, you can go to the cinema and other entertainment venues at reduced cost, with some bars and clubs catering exclusively to the student population.
Manchester is a lively city with dazzling nightlife, culture and attractions aplenty. Museums and art galleries in Manchester have free admission and there are loads of parks where you can have a picnic in the summer.
The Students' Union regularly hosts concerts and organises promotional evenings for you to take advantage of and as a student, you automatically get an NUS card, offering you at least 10% discount in shops, cinemas and theatres – even the hairdressers!

Why do we actually need a Junk email folder? Hmmm… Stupid question, right? The Junk folder separates all that annoying spam from the stuff we want to read. It's the dustbin into which the useless rubbish is dumped. Consequently, the Junk folder is entirely necessary. Or is it?… Continue reading Why Junk and Spam Email Folders Are a Brainwash

Who Is The Online Hater?
Anger. Most of it is momentary. Someone gets heavily stressed and annoyed, they flare up and lash out, they apologise, it's over. But the Internet has highlighted an altogether different type of anger. It's not the result of stress, and it's far from momentary. This is a type of anger that becomes ingrained in an individual to the core. It won't diminish, even over a matter of years. This is the anger of the Online Hater – a particularly aggressive and abusive type of Internet troll, who will be just as abusive tomorrow as he/she is today. As hateful next month as this.
The individual reasons behind online hate campaigns vary, but Continue reading Who Is The Online Hater?
Get a Life!… What It Really Means
"Get a life!"… It's one of the most familiar put-downs on the World Wide Web, appearing on forums and the social networking sites with striking regularity. But there's almost always an irony in the phrase, because in order to recognise that some unknown character in a far-flung corner of the Net needs to get a life, you kind of have to be paying fairly close attention to some pretty trivial matters yourself… Continue reading Get a Life!… What It Really Means
How Effective Are Blog Sidebars?
When bloggers first start out, they tend to have a very optimistic view of what a sidebar does. The traditional concept of a sidebar is to place a series of text links beside each post, and many blog widgets will make this very easy to achieve. But does this kind of thing work? Will blog visitors click the links in a sidebar? Does it matter which side the sidebar goes? And is there anything bloggers can do to make their sidebars more effective? Continue reading How Effective Are Blog Sidebars?
Photographers: Don't Blame The Content Thief
If you're a writer, but you don't generally produce any images, you're lucky. You may not think so, but in broad terms the Internet has your back. But if you produce images and don't generally write, you're in an entirely different situation. Unlike writers, you will receive little or no respect from the Internet, and that disrespect starts right at the top, with huge powers such as Google and the social media sites, who tacitly encourage what's quaintly referred to as the "sharing" of other parties' image matter. Continue reading Photographers: Don't Blame The Content Thief
Why You Can't Find What You Want on Google
This post provides a synopsis on why the things you want are not on the Internet. If you're after an actual guide to effective Google searching – finding those hard-to-locate goodies, please see How To Find Everything On The Internet.
Digital applause – the combination of Likes, Thanks, +1s, Favourites, Follows, positive comments and various other expressions of appreciation – is a major component in keeping the Internet free. Of course, it doesn't keep the actual ISP service free. That's always going to have to be paid for in one way or another. But the supply of accessible material – the photographs, articles, music, etc – a very high proportion of that is legitimately free, and it's paid for in large part by digital applause. Continue reading Why You Can't Find What You Want on Google
Twitter Protocols: To @Mention or Not?
Until now, there's been a pretty unified take on the use of @mentions on Twitter. It seems most people believe that if you're going to talk about another Twitter user within the bounds of the mammoth micro-blogging site, you should always 'tag' them into your tweet. Determine what their @username is, and refer to the person by that @username. This notifies them that you're talking about them, and essentially, means you're not saying anything behind their back.

The University has developed the Leeds for Life platform to help manage and facilitate personal tutoring, specifically in respect of the individual meetings personal tutors arrange with their tutees.
The latest update (September 2015) to the Leeds for Life website is available here
Leeds for Life contains webforms which have been developed to enable the personal tutor and their tutees to make the most of their individual meetings. Students are asked to complete the relevant webform before each meeting, which is then sent electronically to their personal tutor once completed.
The Living CV
Leeds for Life provides students with a structured process where they can reflect on their progress and prepare for life after their degree via their Living CV. Within this they can keep a record of what they have achieved at Leeds and the skills they have developed as part of their degree.
Opportunities, Broadening and the Leeds for Life Foundation
Leeds for Life provides students and Personal Tutors with access to a wide range of Opportunities, which students can use to develop their skills, broaden their life experience and contribute to the local, national and international community. Information on broadening is also available in Leeds for Life, to enable students and Personal Tutors to examine how the student can fully engage with a broad education which challenges, complements and reinforces the value of their degree subject.
Leeds for Life Foundation
Finally, the Leeds for Life Foundation provides financial support to students for personal projects that will develop their skills and benefit others.
New features are being added to the Leeds for Life website:
PGT students can share their LfL record with their supervisor or personal tutor, develop a personal Postgraduate Achievement Record and access useful links to key services and resources.

Blackletter or Gothic script is an old way to write text. Everybody in Western Europe used to write in Blackletter between the 12th and 16th century. In art history this period of the Middle Ages is called gothic.
Some people call Blackletter Old English. This is not right, because Old English is many centuries older. Also Gothic script has nothing to do with the Goths. They lived in central Europe from the 3rd to 6th century and wrote in Runes.
Carolingian minuscule was the direct and linear ancestor of blackletter. Blackletter came from Carolingian when Europe in the twelfth century needed new books in many different subjects when more and more people learned to read. New universities were founded, each writing books for business, law, grammar, history, and other topics, not only religious books, where earlier scripts were used.
These books needed to be produced quickly to keep up with demand. Carolingian, though legible, was time-consuming and labour-intensive to produce. It was large and wide and took up a lot of space on a manuscript in a time when writing materials were very costly. As early as the eleventh century, different forms of Carolingian were already being used, and by the mid-twelfth century, a clearly distinguishable form, able to be written more quickly to meet the demand for new books, was being used in north-eastern France and the Low Countries.
The name Gothic script
The term Gothic was first used to describe this script in fifteenth century Italy, in the midst of the Renaissance, because Renaissance Humanists believed it was a barbaric script. Gothic was a synonym for barbaric. Flavio Biondo, in Italia Illustrata (1531) thought it was invented by the Lombards after their invasion of Italy in the sixth century.
Not only were blackletter forms called Gothic script, but any other seemingly barbarian script, such as Visigothic, Beneventan, and Merovingian, were also labeled "Gothic", in contrast to Carolingian minuscule, a highly legible script which the Humanists called littera antiqua, "the ancient letter", wrongly believing that it was the script used by the Romans. It was invented in the reign of Charlemagne, although only used significantly after that era.
The blackletter must not be confused either with the ancient alphabet of the Gothic language or with the sans-serif typefaces that are also sometimes called Gothic.
Forms of blackletter
Textualis, also known as textura or Gothic bookhand, was the most calligraphic form of blackletter, and today is the form most associated with "Gothic". Johannes Gutenberg carved a textualis typeface – including a large number of ligatures and common abbreviations – when he printed his 42-line Bible. However, the textualis was rarely used for typefaces afterwards.
According to Dutch scholar Gerard Lieftinck, the pinnacle of use for blackletter was the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. For Lieftinck, the highest form of textualis was littera textualis formata, used for de luxe manuscripts. The usual form, simply littera textualis, was used for literary works and university texts. Lieftinck's third form, littera textualis currens, was the cursive form of blackletter, extremely difficult to read and used for textual glosses, and less important books.
Textualis was most widely used in France, the Low Countries, England, and Germany. Some characteristics of the script are:
- tall, narrow letters, as compared to their Carolingian counterparts.
- letters formed by sharp, straight, angular lines, unlike the typically round Carolingian; as a result, there is a high degree of "breaking", i.e. lines that do not necessarily connect with each other, especially in curved letters.
- ascenders (in letters such as b, d, h) are vertical and often end in sharp finials
- when a letter with a bow (in b, d, p, q) is followed by another letter with a bow (such as "be" or "po"), the bows overlap and the letters are joined by a straight line (this is known as "biting").
- a related characteristic is the half r, the shape of r when attached to other letters with bows; only the bow and tail were written, connected to the bow of the previous letter. In other scripts, this only occurred in a ligature with the letter o.
- similarly related is the form of the letter d when followed by a letter with a bow; its ascender is then curved to the left, like the uncial d. Otherwise the ascender is vertical.
- the letters g, j, p, q, y, and the hook of h have descenders, but no other letters are written below the line.
- the letter a has a straight back stroke, and the top loop eventually became closed, somewhat resembling the number 8. The letter s often has a diagonal line connecting its two bows, also somewhat resembling an 8, but the long s is frequently used in the middle of words.
- minims, especially in the later period of the script, do not connect with each other. This makes it very difficult to distinguish i, u, m, and n. A fourteenth century example of the difficulty minims produced is, mimi numinum niuium minimi munium nimium uini muniminum imminui uiui minimum uolunt ("the smallest mimes of the gods of snow do not wish at all in their life that the great duty of the defences of the wine be diminished"). In blackletter this would look like a series of single strokes. Dotted i and the letter j developed because of this. Minims may also have finials of their own.
- the script has many more scribal abbreviations than Carolingian, adding to the speed in which it could be written.
The Schwabacher was a blackletter form that was much used in early German print typefaces. It continued to be used occasionally until the 20th century. Characteristics of the Schwabacher are:
- The small letter o is rounded on both sides, though at the top and at the bottom, the two strokes join in an angle. Other small letters have analogous forms.
- The small letter g has a horizontal stroke at its top that forms crosses with the two downward strokes.
- The capital letter H has a peculiar form that somewhat reminds the small letter h.
The Fraktur is a form of blackletter that became the most common German blackletter typeface by the mid 16th century. Its use was so common that often any blackletter form is called Fraktur in Germany. Characteristics of the Fraktur are:
- The left side of the small letter o is formed by an angular stroke, the right side by a rounded stroke. At the top and at the bottom, both strokes join in an angle. Other small letters have analogous forms.
- The capital letters are compound of rounded c-shaped or s-shaped strokes.
Cursiva refers to a very large variety of forms of blackletter; as with modern cursive writing, there is no real standard form. It developed in the fourteenth century as a simplified form of textualis, with influence from the form of textualis as used for writing charters. Cursiva developed partly because of the introduction of paper, which was smoother than parchment. It was therefore, easier to write quickly on paper in a cursive script.
In cursiva, descenders are more frequent, especially in the letters f and s, and ascenders are curved and looped rather than vertical (seen especially in the letter d). The letters a, g, and s (at the end of a word) are very similar to their Carolingian forms. However, not all of these features are found in every example of cursiva, which makes it difficult to determine whether or not a script may be called cursiva at all.
Lieftinck also divided cursiva into three styles: littera cursiva formata was the most legible and calligraphic style. Littera cursiva textualis (or libraria) was the usual form, used for writing standard books, and it generally was written with a larger pen, leading to larger letters. Littera cursiva currens was used for textbooks and other unimportant books and it had very little standardization in forms.
Hybrida is also called bastarda (especially in France), and as its name suggests, refers to a hybrid form of the script. It is a mixture of textualis and cursiva, developed in the early fifteenth century. From textualis, it borrowed vertical ascenders, while from cursiva, it borrowed long f and ſ, single-looped a, and g with an open descender (similar to Carolingian forms).

Published November 21, 2015
Prosecutors in the Casey Anthony murder trial rested their case Wednesday, but legal experts are questioning whether they "over-tried" the case, effectively giving the defense team ample opportunity to challenge evidence and appeal a possible conviction.
For weeks, the state meticulously laid out a plethora of evidence they say proves the Orlando mother killed her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, in 2008.
But legal analysts say some of that evidence, including police interrogation recordings and "air samples" taken from Anthony's car, may have botched the prosecution's case.
"I think she'll be convicted, but the conviction will be overturned on appeal because the prosecution foolishly asked the court to consider evidence that was unconstitutional, irrelevant and prejudicial," said Judge Andrew Napolitano.
Anthony, 25, is accused of first-degree murder in the death of her daughter, whose remains were found five months after she was reported missing. Anthony has pleaded not guilty.
Prosecutors claim Anthony killed Caylee by suffocating her with duct tape over her nose and mouth, while the defense says the child drowned accidentally in the family pool. No cause of death has ever been determined.
The state built their mostly circumstantial case on Anthony's conduct and the lies she told about her daughter's whereabouts. Anthony waited 31 days to report the child missing, for example, and claimed the toddler was taken by a made-up babysitter.
Prosecutors also relied on forensic testimony, including smells of human decomposition in Anthony's car, searches on her computer for terms such as "chloroform" and duct tape found on the girl's skull.
But legal experts, like Houston criminal defense attorney Nicole Deborde, say the introduction of some of that evidence, including a novel forensics technique, "creates some pretty fertile territory for appeal" if Anthony is convicted.
Dr. Arpad Vass, a top scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, had testified about using a pseudo-scientific practice of capturing the "smell of death."
Vass and a colleague had used a syringe to extract an air sample from a can holding a carpet sample that had been pulled from Anthony's Pontiac Sunfire. They then injected the air into an instrument called a gas chromatography/mass spectrometric to identify the substances it contained.
The substances were then compared against a database of more than 400 chemical compounds Vass has identified from the decomposition of bodies at the University of Tennessee Anthropological Research Facility. Donated bodies at the facility, dubbed "The Body Farm," were buried in different depths of soil. Hoods were placed over the locations of the bodies to capture the chemical compounds as they were liberated from the decomposing bodies over four years.
Vass backed up the prosecutors' theory, testifying that he smelled an "overwhelmingly strong" odor of human decomposition in the air sample. He told jurors that his machine found high levels of chemical compounds observed when the body breaks down, such as chloroform, in the sample taken from Anthony's car.
But Anthony's attorneys claim Vass' tests are too experimental and haven't been duplicated anywhere else.
Legal experts say such testimony is problematic for the state.
"You've got to be cautious about using stuff like that," said Deborde. "Just because you have evidence and that evidence seems exciting and dramatic in court, it doesn't mean you should use it."
Other evidence used by the prosecutors, like police interrogation recordings, also undermines the state's case, Napolitano said.
"Those interrogations were made before the police gave her the Miranda warnings," he said.
Other legal experts, like former prosecutor and veteran criminal defense attorney Mark Eiglarsh, say it's difficult to prove murder without a known cause of death.
"Yes, there is absolutely ample evidence for these jurors to find that the prosecution met their burden and proved this case beyond a reasonable doubt," Eiglarsh told FoxNews.com. "The problem is that even after the close of the state's case, it's still not completely clear exactly how the child died. That could support a not guilty verdict."

This project comprises the compilation of the most extensive database of British legislative records ever built. We have already acquired every speech made in the British House of Commons after 1803, and are soon to acquire every roll call undertaken between 1832 and 1900. Our research focuses on when and how party discipline emerged in the British House of Commons. Primary responsibility of the student is to 'clean up' of roll call records, which list member of parliament names, and the way they voted in divisions. Often we can disambiguate the names automatically from other records we have to hand, but additional help is needed for those we cannot match.

Goodhead said: "The IntelligentEngine is where three things come together. The product, the service and digital all come together in a way that it's really hard to de-link them in any way at all. What that gives you is an engine that becomes increasingly connected, contextually aware and comprehending."
He added: And by that what we mean is it's connected not only to our infrastructure and that of the airline, but all the engines in the fleet, and it's learning from all the engines' experience."
He said this contextual awareness is key, noting: "Rather than simply understanding what we have for many years, which is what's going on inside the engine, we are now able to understand more about how the engines operate and what environment it's in, what's the weather doing, what the air traffic control constraints may have been on the engine, and how it's being used."
Engine, heal thyself
Rolls-Royce envisions an engine that uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to understand more about its own state and what it "thinks and feels," Goodhead said.
"Ultimately we see this as being where the engine can actually start to understand what it needs and heal itself with potentially no human intervention."
On how airlines will benefit from this, Goodhead explained: "There are two key things that we're seeking to deliver to our airlines in terms of increased value. One is availability of the asset, making sure that when they need it to do what it needs to do, it does it all the time. It's always in the air.
"Secondly, it's about making it as efficient as possible. Obviously in a transition to a low-carbon economy, what we need to do is minimise the amount of fuel burned. Not only is that environmentally good, but obviously it's good for the economics of the airline."

In my experience, one of the most common misconceptions about translation is that knowing a foreign language is all it takes to be a good translator.VALUE GUARD SEAL VG-805 NEW IN BOX Especially in the Netherlands, where everyone learns English in school and more and more university courses are taught in English, a lot of people seem to think that this is all it takes to become a translator. "I always read books in English," they will say. Sounds convincing, right?
First of all, "knowing a foreign language" or "being fluent in a language" is very subjective. A lot of people claim to be fluent in English because they are able to read books in English or to have a successful conversation in English. But you don't have to have a perfect grasp of the English language to read a book, as long as you get the gist of the story. And you don't have to speak English fluently to have a successful conversation, as long as you understand each other. When it comes to translation, however, this is not enough. To be able to translate a text, you have to understand it perfectly: not just every word but every nuance in meaning, every idiom, every cultural reference, even regional slang (if you translate literature).VERIS V201D V201D (NEW IN BOX)
And that is not all.
The next step is to transfer the original message with all its nuances and references into your own mother tongue. That is a skill in itself and doesn't come "automatically" with learning a foreign language. Even people who have been raised bilingually and speak and understand two languages perfectly aren't necessarily good translators, because they may lack this specific skill: how to describe the message from one language in the words of another language.
Projector Lamp for NEC MT-830 MT-1030 GT-2000 GENUINEThat is quite a lot to ask from a translator, isn't it? But we are not there just yet.
Just putting a message into words (which is often already hard enough!) is not good enough when you are translating, especially when it comes to more creative texts, such as advertising material or literature. The text needs to be attractive too; after all, you want people to read it.NEW 774475 FLOATING POINT OF TRI-STATE INPUT TO ANALOG CURRENT OR VOLTAGE OUTPUT If you are going to advertise a product, you don't want your potential clients to get bored after a few sentences and forget about your product altogether. And people who buy a novel usually want more than just a story, they want to be dragged into that story. To achieve that, a translator needs excellent writing skills to be able to produce a translation that is just as compelling as the original, using the right style and tone of voice for the intended target audience.
There are of course other skills a good translator should have, such as specialising in a specific subject area, but in my opinion these are the three basic skills: an excellent command of the foreign language, the ability to translate the message into your own language, and excellent writing skills.

Future aero engines will need to be more efficient and contribute to the reduction on environmental impact of air transportation. They must reach some standards of performance by reducing emissions and creating some savings on operation costs.EIMG consortium has launched since several years some initiatives to develop future engines in the frame of the European Committee research programmes.Within different project such as DREAM, VITAL, NEWAC or LEMCOTEC, EIMG is ensuring the development of innovative technologies in order to further reduce the fuel burn, emissions and noise.In order to ensure the technological breakthrough, future aero-engines will have higher overall pressure ratios (OPR) to increase thermal efficiency and will have higher bypass ratios (BPR) to increase propulsive efficiency. These lead to smaller and hotter high pressure cores.As core engine technologies have been addressed in the previous project, E-BREAK project will ensure the mandatory evolution of sub-systems.It is indeed required for enabling integration of engine with new core technologies to develop adequate technologies for sub-systems. E-BREAK will aim to adapt sub-systems to new constraints of temperature and pressure.The overall picture of these initiatives bring all technology bricks to a TRL level ensuring the possibility to integrate them in a new aero engines generation before 2020.In its 2020 vision, ACARE aims to reduce by 50% per passenger kilometer CO2 emissions with an engine contribution targeting a decrease by 15 to 20% of the SFC. NOX emissions would have to be reduced by 80 % and efforts need to be made on other emissions.E-BREAK will be an enabler of the future UHOPR integrated engine development, completing efforts done in previous or in on-going Level 2 programs.
