Whether it's a reliable car to get around in, or a dream car that they always wanted, the excitement never gets old. When Paul is not helping people at work, he rides his motorcycle, fishes in tournaments, and plays pool in a league. You can also find him metal detecting, looking to dig up some history from this great country's past. New England has a lot to offer when it comes to activities to enjoy and Paul loves to be outside, so he is always spending his free time in the fresh air.Read more

"VERY SATISFIED!"- We're on our way!
We purchased a new Forester. Paul Figueiredo, Jack Walczak and Patrick McQueen were very informative, respectful and helpful. It was a pleasure to deal with them. They were patient with our questions and explained everything to our satisfaction. All options were presented without pressure. Paul went the extra mile with our special request for pick-up arrangements. From the test drive to the drive off the lot with our purchase, we felt confident we made the right choice in vehicle and dealership. Thank you Steve Lewis Subaru!Read More

"Friendly, attentive and great customer service!"- GreenJasmine
This was my first experience buying a "new-er" car. Paul Figueiredo was very helpful, from helping me narrow down which car to test drive (what was really the most important to me, mileage? color? limited edition vs. all-weather premium? and so on), he was quick and efficient in helping me to narrow down the choices and what was best suited for me. I test drove one Subaru Forester and was sure I wanted to buy it. Since this was my first time buying a newer car he and the team were very helpful in explaining the steps and what was needed of me, answering my questions and concerns, and we even got a couple laughs in too. All of the staff was very friendly, patient and helpful. David Hanks helped me with financing and gave some really good advice on packages/coverage to consider and why each one was useful, especially for the amount and where I drive . Even after the process of buying the car was complete, Paul and the Steve Lewis team were very helpful by working with my insurance co. to get my car registered, inspected and ready to drive, they also sent me my license plate and registration info so that I could buy my residential parking permit for the city I live in. When my boyfriend and I came to pick up the car, Dominic explained every little feature of the dashboard and how to get adjusted and ready to drive (from helping us pair the vehicle bluetooth to my iphone, what side the gas was on, and how to set the correct time)! I'm really glad I went to Steve Lewis, I feel very confident and comfortable with my purchase. The staff were all very genuine and easy to communicate with, I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to buy a vehicle!Read More

"Good experience"- Bob
Worked with Paul on the purchase of our new Outback. Paul was a pleasure to work with, and made the usually stressful experience of purchasing a new vehicle as easy a possible! We look forward to a long relationship with Steve Lewis Subaru.Read More

"Extremely pleasant and easy to work with "- Lomarcelle86
We recently went to the Bertera Subaru in West Springfield, did not like our experience so we left and never went back. Today we drove 45 mins to the Subaru in Hadley and we had a much better experience. Paul was extremely friendly and attentive! He worked with us, listened to our needs, and patiently negotiated with us until we were comfortable with the numbers. Thank you Paul! When the hubby is ready to get his Subaru Legacy we will look for you!Read More

"Awesome experience all around"- jg123
With the winter coming, I knew I had to find a newer, reliable car. I had searched online for the exact make and model I wanted at various locations, and Steve Lewis has best selection around. Paul helped me find the car I was looking for (in excellent condition) at a great price. I live just over the border in NY state, and Paul had his guys travel there to get my new car registered (saving me a trip to the RMV) and even delivered it to me with a full tank of gas. Wow! Outstanding service. Thank you for everything, from test driving to financing help at the lowest rate around. Highly recommend!Read More

"Bought two cars, had an issue, we were well taken care of "- apayne7388
We originally bought a 2018 Subaru impreza and a 2011 mini cooper from Steve Lewis back in August of this year. Shortly after, the mini started having several issues, it ended up needing several thousand dollars worth of work, and possibly an engine on top of that. They were kind enough to set us up with a loaner car for free, towed the problem vehicle to the nearest mini dealer and had them diagnose the vehicle with no cost to us. They proceeded to let us know what was wrong with it, and offered to give us a credit back for every penny we paid towards the car. We just picked up our 2012 outback from them today and couldn't be happier! Paul was our salesman for both purchases, and he was great! He has an upbeat attitude but he's also a real person you can talk to, not just some guy who is trying to force you into buying a car. We will definitely be coming back, and recommending them to our friends and families!Read More

We'll say it again and a little bit louder....RAIN, RAIN, GO AWAY!!!
The Weekly Weeder
Box #13: September 6, 2018
EOW "Bean Group"
Box Contents, Storage & Cooking Tips
Arugula ~
1 small bunch
Small Shares; 1 large bunch Standard Shares; 2 large bunches Double Shares
Store in container/bag until used. Use it up quickly as the field was soggy and the heavy rain hard on the fragile stems.
A pungent and delicious addition to raw salads or sandwiches, but excellent cooked slightly in any egg scramble. Arugula and tomatoes is also an excellent pairing.
Beets, Green Top ~
1 small bunch
Small Shares; 1 large bunch Standard Shares; 2 large bunches Double Shares
The greens on this last planting of beets looked great just a week ago, but the damp weather has lead to leaf spots. So why include the greens, you ask, because it's so much easier to wash them as a bunch than have to wash then bag them. So break off the tops and store the roots in a bag/container to keep them from dehydrating in your refrigerator. They will keep for many months this way. Try a cold salad made with cooked beets:
Carrots!! Red and Orange Mix
.75 pounds for Small Shares; 1.5 pounds for Standard Shares; 3 pounds for Double Shares.
These beauties were
hand pulled from the muddy field this week! They are ready to get out of the ground, yet the rain is preventing us from using a tractor and undercutter to help us.
Keep in bag and store in refrigerator until used. No need to peel the outer skin, just rinse and use cooked or raw!
Fennel ~
count for Small Shares; 1 count for Standard Shares; 2 count for Double Shares.
We were ankle deep in sticky mud harvesting the fennel. You'll want to wash it really well before using to avoid extra sandy crunch! Here's a good video on cutting your bulb:
The licorice tasting fennel becomes mild once cooked, grilled, or sautéed until caramelized.
Pairs great with tomatoes!
We like to add it to our tomato sauce, pizzas, lasagna, and veggie scrambles.
Entire plant is edible - bulb, stalks and leaves. Store in covered container to prevent from dehydrating in your refrigerator.
Garlic ~
bulb for Small Shares; 2 bulbs for Standard Shares; 3 bulbs for Double Shares.
Fully cured, store on the counter top not in the refrigerator.
Melon, Cantaloupe ~
count for Small Shares; 1 count for Standard Shares; 2 count for Double Shares.
We barely harvested enough for every box. The rains split open quite a few. Sarah's Choice is a bit less sugary than the first planting but still quite delicious. Nice buttery texture.
Peppers ~ An assortment of colored bells
3 count Small Shares; 6 count Standard Shares; 12 count Doubles
The peppers are slowing down, giving us fewer colored bell peppers and certainly smaller in the size. But they're still worthy of picking and eating! Freeze what you can't eat.
Onions, Yellow
pound Small; 2 pounds Standards and we could only fit 2 pounds for Doubles though we'd planned on double that amount. More to come!
Fully cured, store on the counter and not in the refrigerator
Tomatoes, A farmhouse mix! Yellow & Red Grape, Sungold & Red Cherry
pound Small Shares; 1 pound Standards; 2 pounds Doubles
The rain cracked many of the cherry tomatoes that would have been a little more ripe than what is in your bags. So you'll want to again leave them out at room temperature to ripen for a few days. Their color will darken and the squeeze will soften.
Tomatoes, Paste
pounds Small Shares; 3.5 pounds Standards; 7 pounds Doubles
While the slicing tomatoes weren't worthy of harvesting this week (too much fruit blight), the cherry's and paste tomatoes are located in a different field and continue to grow. We'll have at least 1 more week of paste tomatoes. The rain is quickly ending the tomato season.
Coming Soon....Broccoli, Baby Turnips, Kale,
more Garlic, Carrots and Red Onions and so much more!
Above: Harvesting Beets before another round of rain.
Below: Young lettuce and spinach plantings- completely water logged
Despite ankle deep mud we harvested some nice fennel on Tuesday.
News From the Farm
As we reported last week, record rainfall and valley flooding in our area has been a major factor for everyone. In the towns they are draining basements and tearing out moldy floors and dry wall. Here in the country, we are dealing with muddy conditions for people harvesting and those working with livestock. Crops look haggard from battering rains, winds blowing and loosening plants. Last week we trudged through wet harvests, and we did it again this week. Tonight we are tired out. Harvesting in the rain and mud takes a lot more people energy. It slows us down at a time when we need to be moving quickly because root crops (beets, rutabagas, carrots, turnips, winter radishes) don't like to sit in wet mud. We are worried about splitting and cracking and rotting. So far things brought in have looked good - the beet bunches and carrots are in your box - so we are feeling optimistic but excited to get more things tucked into our cooler. The season is changing, we can feel it in the air and see it in the light. The walnut trees are one of the earliest to loose it's leaves in the fall (pictured below). They are starting to show yellowing leaves and signaling another seasonal shift.
Happy Cooking
Your farmers
Cate and Mat
The Black Walnuts are first footsteps of autumn...
With the footsteps of Autumn and with a rainy forecast we did get our squash harvest started in earnest before the rains. We hope to finish on Thursday.
Cut, Pile, then Gently load into bins. Then off to the greenhouse to cure and sweeten.
Onions topped, sorted and ready for you.
Paste Tomatoes Not all perfect but great for canning or processing
10 pounds $15 or 20 pounds $30
Jalapenos: 5 pounds $15
Beets: 10 pounds $15 or 25 pounds $32
Garlic: 5 pounds $30
Yellow Storage Onions: 5 pounds $8 or 10 pounds $15
Kale - green curly: $18 for 12 bunches
Maple Syrup: $10 / pint or $20 / quart

2 lbs meaty country style Pork spareribs (ideally you can buy these at the butcher already cut into 2-3 inch pieces if your ribs are larger you can cut them in half yourself)
2 dried ancho chiles
1 cup water
1 peeled clove garlic
1/2 medium white onion, roughly chopped
1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
8-10 medium tomatillos with husks on well rinsed
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Put the ribs in a large saucepan or dutch oven and barely cover with water.
Add salt and boil for 10 minutes.
Prepare the dried chiles by removing the stalks and splitting them open and discarding any seeds and veins.
Put the chiles into a small saucepan and cover with hot water. Simmer for 5 minutes to soften the chiles. Remove from heat and let soak for another 5 minutes.
Get out your blender, food processor or Vitamix. Put in 1/2 cup water. Add the garlic, onion and cumin and pepper and blend thoroughly. Add the rest of the water and the chiles and blend thoroughly. Add this mixture to the ribs.
Cut the tomatillos into quarters, leaving the husks intact and add them to your rib, sauce mixture.
Cook your rib, sauce mixture uncovered until the meat is tender, the sauce is reduced, about 45 minutes.
The sauce will be quite thick and coat the back of a wooden spoon when it is finished. Serve over rice or pile greens around the stew on a serving platter. If you notice large pieces of tomatillo skins when serving you can pull those out, most will have broken down into the sauce but sometimes a few stay more intact.

Using Video Modeling to Help Students Transition Between Activities
Have you ever considered using video modeling to help students transition between activities? During the elementary and preschool day, transitions account for 25% of the day. That's a lot of transitions! No wonder why teachers ask OTs and PTs for help
Skills Needed for Successful Transitions in the Classroom
There are many reasons why a student may have trouble with transitions. Think about all the skills needed for successful transitions:
- listening skills: students need to listen to the directions.
- follow directions: students need to be able to follow multi-step motor commands.
- self-regulation skills: students need to be able to control their emotions, thinking, behavior and motor actions in different situations
- body awareness: students need to maintain appropriate space between themselves, their peers and classroom furniture. Check out Personal Space Journey for students who need help with body awareness.
- motor planning: students need to be able to plan and execute the motor action of moving their body from one activity to another.
- motor timing: students need to be able to move slowly, quickly, start and stop.
There are many ways to help students with transitions and video modeling has been shown to be an effective strategy.

Video modeling involves videoing an appropriate behavior which is then shown to a student over several sessions, and the student practices the observed behavior. Research indicates that video modeling can help to encourage quick transitions and increase rates of on-task behaviors.
Steps of Video Modeling
There are 10 steps when using video modeling as an intervention. The steps include the following and should be repeated until the students are proficient (Sigafoos et al, 2007).
- Select the target behavior(s) i.e. transition from one activity to another smoothly
- Get the right equipment.
- Plan the video recording.
- Collect baseline data. i.e. How slowly are the students' transitioning currently?
- Make the video showing students completing the transition.
- Arrange the environment for video viewing.
- Show the video.
- Monitor progress.
- Troubleshoot any issues.
- Fade the video model.
Using Group Video Modeling to Help Students Transition Between Activities
Group video self-modeling was used in a recent research study to determine if using video modeling to help students transition between activities was beneficial.
Using students in a third-grade classroom, the researchers wanted to improve the speed that the students using group video self-modeling. Baseline data was collected that separated the students into three groups: slow, medium and fast transition groups. Following the intervention of the video self-modeling, data analysis indicated the following:
- group video self-modeling produced immediate gains in the speed with which the average performance of students lined up and transitioned.
- students in both the medium and slow groups increased
their speed to a level that matched what was achieved by the fast group.
The researchers recommend future research on: what other types of behaviors could be helped with group video modeling, the least amount of times the videos need to be shown to be effective and determining whether the students prefer to see peers or themselves in the videos.
More Strategies to Help Students Transition Between Activities
In addition to video modeling, there are several other strategies that may be effective to help students transition from one activity to another.
1. FOLLOW A ROUTINE – Establish a consistent schedule or routine for the student to follow. Provide visual picture symbols if necessary for the student to follow.
2. MAKE SURE THERE IS ENOUGH TIME – Allow the student enough time to experience the activity before moving on to the next activity. Many children can exhibit negative behaviors if they never had any time to participate in the activity to begin with.
3. PROVIDE CLEAR AND CONCISE DIRECTIONS – Make sure the student understands what the directions are or what is expected of him/her. Some students will need to be taught how to follow the routine. This takes practice and time. One or two step motor commands should be effective and concise.
4. GIVE WARNINGS – Provide verbal and physical cues that a transition is approaching. There are plenty of visual timers that can be used to provide warnings for transitions.
5. DECREASE THE NUMBER OF TRANSITIONS – Modify schedules to have the least amount of transitions possible. For example, if a student is already out of class to go to the nurse or another related service it may be a good time to schedule therapy to reduce the number of transitions in and out of the classroom. Another option would be to provide push in therapy services to avoid transitioning in and out of the room.
6. SING – Sing songs or chants to signal transitions. Use the same songs each time so children can anticipate what is to happen next.
7. SNEAK IN MOVEMENT TIME DURING TRANSITIONS – If possible, transition time is a wonderful time to sneak in some physical activity. Remember to teach children what STOP and GO means. Here are 56 transitions for throughout the school day.
8. OFFER FEEDBACK – Provide feedback about transitions. If a student does a good job transitioning explain to him/her what they did correctly. If changes need to be made offer suggestions on how to improve the transition the next time.
9. DECREASE PROMPTS – As the student's skills improve during transitions, encourage the student to transition independently.
10. ENCOURAGE SELF-MONITORING – Ask the students to reflect on what went wrong and what went right during the transition process. Try using the "Are You Ready to Work?" clip chart for self-monitoring.
11. REINFORCE POSITIVE BEHAVIORS – Provide positive reinforcement for other students who complete transitions successfully. Students will learn from each other and model other behaviors.
12. BE PREPARED – When a new activity is starting, be ready to go. When there is less downtime the transition may go smoother.
13. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE – Students need to be taught how to transition properly and they need to practice those skills over and over again.
14. TEACH CALMING STRATEGIES – Sometimes students may need some extra help when transitioning from recess, gym class or the lunchroom. Teach the students calming strategies or deep breathing in order to get their bodies ready to work.
Calming Strategies – Classroom edition includes 26 full page strategies for students to use in the classroom to help them to calm down. The packet also includes smaller versions of the cards to print and put on a key ring and a choice board with small picture icons. It is in full color and black and white.
Conclusion on Using Video Modeling to Help Students Transition
Related service providers and teachers can develop and implement video modeling to help students transition between activities throughout the school day. There are 10 steps to video modeling. The video modeling can be done by peers or student self-modeling. Group video self-modeling has been shown to be an effective strategy to produce immediate gains in the speed with which the average performance of the students lined up and transitioned. There are many other strategies to help students transition such as following routines, clear directions and practice.

One of Germany's top daily newspapers has pulled a cartoon and apologized for its use of anti-Semitic stereotypes.
Wolfgang Krach, editor in chief of the Süddeutsche Zeitung, issued a statement Tuesday saying he had pulled the cartoon, which depicted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dressed as the Israeli Eurovision winner Netta Barzilai, holding up a rocket marked with a Star of David. The artist, Dieter Hanitzsch, had also replaced the "V" in Eurovision with the six-pointed star.
"This led to discussions both within and outside the SZ editorial offices," Krach's statement read. "The cartoonist… said he merely wanted to point…

US aerospace and defence exports are facing a series of headwinds that may challenge the country's dominant position in global markets, Keith Webster, the president of the Defence and Aerospace Export Council of the US Chambers of Commerce, has warned.
On 6 May, he told the Global Offset and Countertrade Association (GOCA) conference in Virginia, US, that challenges ranging from a shortage of appropriately trained workers to the erosion of the status of the US as a result of what was described as "populist politics" were hampering foreign sales.
The growth of lower-cost competition and supplier diversification in international markets were also issues of concern, he said.

Andrea Roussel had never experienced the joy of brushing her hair, as she simply hadn't had any since she was a toddler. But a stranger helped change all that in a most unusual way. You could call it a miracle.
Most of us take our hair for granted; it's known as our "crowning glory." Many women enjoy experimenting with many different styles and colors. Except those among us who have no hair due to chemotherapy or some other medical condition.
Andrea Roussel was born with plenty of hair, but within two years, her hair fell out in patches, and by the time she was 4, she was totally bald. She was diagnosed with alopecia, an incurable autoimmune disease that causes hair loss.
"I always remember being bald," Andrea told CBN.
The first wigs she wore were netted and had to be stuck on with tape, and Andrea said they looked fake. Later, her parents found a company that specializes in custom-made wigs, which "were quite expensive, but they were beautiful," said Andrea.
"In my head, I just thought, 'Well nobody knows I have a wig on, and nobody can tell.' And to me, I had hair … I had perfect reddish brown hair that I could put bows in, and I learned how to french braid. It was kind of an accessory; it was kind of like a shoe."
Andrea admits she wasn't really bothered by having no hair.
"I stuck out easily and again, it wasn't a big thing for me. I just couldn't grasp that it really was such a significant thing to be 16 and be a girl walking around bald."
When Andrea played hockey on the school team, she opted to wear a bandanna instead of a wig.
That's when her life turned around. She was walking through the gym one day after practice when she heard someone call out to her, "Excuse me, ma'am?" It was the school janitor Greg. He had assumed she had undergone chemo for cancer and lost her hair.
"I just explained to him like everyone else I had in 20 years, that I didn't have cancer, that I just had Alopecia and no big deal. And he said, 'Well God thinks hair is important, too. Do you mind if I still pray?' And I was like, by all means."
"I felt compassion for her," Greg said.
"So he took off his gloves which I guess I remember so vividly because nobody had ever went to lay hands on me or even really prayed for my hair because again, I was fine, I was healthy," Andrea recalled.
Not long after this encounter, her teammates on the hockey team had noticed she had grown eyelashes, and not only that, amazingly, she began to grow hair all over her head.
"At the end of October, it just was so blatant. I mean, it was all over my head like a baby's coming in … peach fuzz. It just kept growing, and I went back to meet with Greg, the janitor and was like, 'Keep praying, look!'"
"To go twenty years completely bald and then have it grow back is something completely significant," she said.
That was an interesting encounter Andrea, who now coaches at a Christian high school in Louisville, probably won't forget in her lifetime.

SINGAPORE - Independent candidate Tan Lam Siong has decided not to contest Potong Pasir SMC, reducing the likelihood of a three-cornered fight for the ward.
He would most likely have faced off against incumbent Sitoh Yih Pin from the People's Action Party, and challenger Lina Chiam of the Singapore People's Party.
However, independent candidate Zeng Guoyan, 63, told reporters he intends to run in Potong Pasir. Known as the "Parrot Man", Mr Zeng said he expects his supporters to come and bring the funds required for the election deposit of $14,500.
Mr Sitoh won the long-time opposition stronghold by his party's slimmest winning margin in the 2011 General Election - 114 votes - against Mrs Chiam, and the two are poised to go head to head again.
Mr Tan, announcing his decision on his blog on Tuesday (Sept 1) morning, said he was driving out from the carpark near Block 108 in Potong Pasir after 11pm after his usual walkabout when he saw a Mercedes Benz waiting to park.
He said he noticed the lady driver struggling to turn her steering wheel to move her car aside, and realised it was Mrs Chiam behind the wheel.
"She was in her party T-shirt and looked rather haggard," he wrote.
Mr Tan, the former National Solidarity Party secretary-general, said he kept thinking about the encounter and felt sorry that Mrs Chiam was still out at such a late hour.
"I recall her recent statement about this election being her last election and that she will be retiring with Mr. Chiam. I began to have this feeling of sadness and couldn't sleep after reaching home," he said.
He thus contacted his team members on Tuesday and informed them that he was pulling out of the contest for the single-member constituency.
In response, Mrs Chiam put up a statement that said: "We've heard the news about his withdrawal. We are focused on serving the residents of Potong Pasir. I have not met Tan Lam Siong."
She told The Straits Times that she has "nothing to add" beyond her statement.
Mr Tan now plans to lead his team in supporting Mrs Chiam at her rally.
"The three-cornered fight in Potong Pasir SMC that was meant to be will no longer take place," he wrote. "I am sorry to disappoint all those who have encouraged me to offer my candidacy and to serve the residents of Potong Pasir SMC as their Member of Parliament."
"In my walkabouts over the last two months, I have come to know many of you at a personal level and appreciate your warm support. Let me assure you that notwithstanding this decision, I will continue to be at your service. For Potong Pasir SMC will always be my kind of town."

Disc wheels with dynamo
This recent build is one I can get behind. It's based on Shimano XT disc hubs and burly H Plus Son Archetype rims. The front hub is the new Shimano XT dynamo. It produces enough juice to power bright lights or charge your USB electronics (cycle computer, GPS, smartphone, etc). I loathe batteries so this resonates with me. Great for commuting, brevet riding and cycle touring.

Category: Reflection
Quieten the noise, and get focused! Life Coaching by Kavita Satwalekar
In today's world of multi-tasking – managing work, your family, your home, social media, etc… Life has become ever so complicated!
There isn't a single moment of "quiet time" that we can afford for ourselves during the day, week, or sometimes even in a month. Life just goes by, with us spinning in place, putting out fires and living everywhere but in the moment. In order to get focused and move forward, we need to quieten the noise!
How do you quieten the noise and get focused?
Step 1: Reflect on the following questions
- What are your top 3 priorities?
- What are your top 3 distractions?
Step 2: Note down & pay attention to the following
- Do you multi-task?
- If you answered 'yes' to the previous question, does that truly
make you more productive?
- Pay attention to where you can say 'no' more often. Saying 'yes' to too many people or things often means saying 'no' to something in your own life.
- Understand what boosts your focus and use it when needed.
- Pay attention to when and where you can do a little extra to finish off something important.
Step 3: Outline your plan in small, achievable and measurable
- Devise a plan to consciously block your distractions for chunks of time during the day.
- Focus on your priorities and ensure everything you do, every single day, is moving you a step closer towards achieving them.
- Start with a one-week plan, follow through on it and assess your success on the weekend.
Step 4: Start working towards the new YOU
Are you ready to take action and make changes in your environment, habits and life? If yes, make a note of 3 actions to create more focus in your life.
Knowing about your strengths and weak links – and consciously working with them – can put you way ahead of yourself. If you find yourself wanting to learn more about the cluster of emotions and experiences you've become, please do reach out to me and I can conduct online life-coaching sessions with you. I can be reached via email at email@example.com, through my website at
www.innersensecoaching.com, or via LinkedIn or Facebook.
"Do you know your weak link(s)?" Life Coaching by Kavita Satwalekar
Do you know your weak link/(s)?
All of us have weak links in our lives. For some of us it's the things
we do to sabotage ourselves. Do you know what you do to
sabotage yourself?
How do you sabotage yourself?
Step 1: Reflect on your life
Think through all the times you have led your life as you desire. Now
think through all the times you haven't.
Step 2: Note down any patterns in your behavior
- Was there a similarity in the way events played out?
- What was the difference between successful and unsuccessful
- What patterns did you notice in the events that weren't a
- Did you knowingly or unknowingly sabotage yourself?
Step 3: Outline your plan in small, achievable and measurable
- How can you anticipate patterns in your life?
- How can you intercept those patterns and use them to your
Step 4: Start working towards the new YOU
- Create an achievable plan and start working towards it.
- Now that you're starting to be more aware of yourself, how can
you continue to help yourself?
Knowing about your strengths & weak links, and consciously working

Wake up! Slow down. Leave time for learning.
I caught myself again.
The last time was in 2013 and I wrote about it then too.
What did I catch myself doing? Rushing my children… and, by doing so, denying them countless opportunities to learn.
We've just moved to Paris. Everything is new. At the moment, the newest things are christmas decorations in the streets and the increasingly intense cold. Every morning, my children just want to look, talk, feel, experience, ponder, notice, appreciate and wonder. But, I have caught myself rushing them. Hurrying them up towards some imaginary or completely unimportant deadline – the need to be early, on time or not late.
It doesn't really matter if I'm early, on time or not late. My children matter. their experiences of the world matter.
It's shocking for an educator to do this to his own children. But, we do it to our students every day. We hurry them from lesson to lesson. We dictate their agenda all day. We reduce break times. We don't give them enough time to eat. We decide if they can go to the toilet or not. We treat "inquiry" as a stand-alone subject that we do in the last period, if they're lucky. We make their lives busy, indeed we teach the art of "busyness", as if we don't trust them to do anything of value if we don't.
And yet, we all know that the most powerful learning happens when we slow down, when we give them sustained periods of time, when we don't interrupt and when they're making choices about why, how and what to learn.
Old habits die hard. How much of modern schooling is still "old habits"?
Being a PYP Teacher Part 4: Collaborate with your students
Kath Murdoch says that inquiry teachers "let kids in on the secret", and I totally agree.
Far too often, we keep all of the planning, decision-making, assessment data, idea-generation, problem-solving and thought-processes of teaching hidden away from our students. Because of this, teaching becomes something that we do to students, not with students. As long as we are doing all of those things ourselves, behind closed doors, education will retain its traditional teacher-student power relationship and, no matter how often we use fancy words like "agency" and "empowerment", students will continue to participate in, rather than take control of, their learning.
PYP teachers take simple steps to "let kids in on the secret", to collaborate with their students.
They begin by showing students that their thoughts matter – they quote them, they display their words, they refer back to their thinking and they use their thinking to shape what happens next. When students become aware that this is happening, their relationship with learning instantly begins to shift.
Then, PYP teachers start thinking aloud – openly thinking about why, how and what to do in front of their students and not having a rigid, pre-determined plan or structure. This invites them into conversations about their learning, invites negotiation about how their time could be used, what their priorities might be and what their "ways of working" might be. There is a palpable shift in the culture of learning when this starts happening, from compliance to intrinsic motivation.
Finally, PYP teachers seek as many opportunities as possible to hand the thinking over to their students deliberately – not only because they have faith in them, but also because they know their students are likely to do it better than they can themselves! It's shocking how frequently we make the assumption that students are not capable of making decisions, or need to be protected from the processes of making decisions, or that getting them to make decisions is a waste of "learning time". As soon as we drop that assumption and, basically, take completely the opposite way of thinking… everything changes. Hand things over to them and they will blow you away! I still love this video of my old class in Bangkok figuring out the sleeping arrangements for their Camp and doing it way better and with more respect than a group of adults ever could!
So… today, tomorrow, next week… look for ways to let kids in on the secret, and let us know what happens as a result!
Being a PYP Teacher Part 3: Know your students
Bill and Ochan Powell (rest in peace, Bill) always say, above all else, "know your students".
The written curriculum in your school is the students' curriculum.
Your curriculum is the students.
They are learning about all the things expressed in their curriculum (and hopefully much more!).
You are learning about them.
Understanding this will help you make the shift from "deliverer of content" to a facilitator of learning, a designer of learning experiences and a partner for each of your students as they learn and as they navigate their curriculum. Each day, you will arrive at work full of curiosity, poised and ready to:
- get to know your students better
- inquire about them
- research into them
- get a sense of who each of them is in the context of learning taking place at the time
- discover what motivates them
- find out what interests and inspires them
- help them develop their own plans for learning
- get a sense of what they can do and what skills they may develop next
- learn about how they think
- try a wide variety of strategies to do all of the above
- never give up…
It is a very exciting moment when PYP Teachers realise they are inquirers who are constantly seeking, gathering and using data (in it's most sophisticated and powerful forms) about their students.
It is this realisation that sets apart genuine PYP Teachers from those who simply work in a PYP school, for the two are vastly different.
Being a PYP Teacher Part 2: Talk less, ask (and scribble) more
I've borrowed the inspiration for this one from two important sources, Kath Murdoch and Inquiry Partners.
PYP Teachers need to be determined to allow their students' voices to dominate discussions in the classroom, and to use strategies that promote the thinking that is necessary for that to happen. They use open-ended questions or problems that invite debate, differing perspectives, controversy, elaboration and uncertainty… and then they listen, they probe and they invite others to add their thoughts. Most of all, they are curious about what students may be revealing through their words and how they might be able to use that information to guide what happens next.
The traditional "whole class conversation" tends to be between the teacher, who controls the conversation, and the one student doing the thinking at the time. There may a few others listening and waiting to contribute, but there will also be some who have drifted off, who have stopped listening and who may just be waiting for it to be over.
Simple strategies like "turn and talk" or "chalk talk" set things up so everyone is doing the thinking at the same time, not just one person at a time. Asking students to record their thoughts in writing also ensures they're all doing the thinking, and sets them all up to be able to contribute to discussions afterwards.
More complex approaches, like Philosophy for Children and Harkness, model and teach the art of conversation and invite students to participate in deep conversations in which all are equal members.
The most simple strategy though is simply to remember to talk less. Say less at the beginning of lessons. Only repeat instructions to those who need the instructions to be repeated. Even better, display instructions or processes visually so that those who are ready and able or get on with it can do just that. You'll be amazed how much time – a precious commodity in schools – can be saved.
Some of that time, of course, is yours… and it can be used to redefine your role as a teacher. Rather than doing so much talking, you can be observing students, listening to them, taking notes, writing down quotes that come from their mouths… all of that scribbling is formative assessment, planning, affirmation and honouring the importance of things your students say. It is inevitable that the teaching that follows will be different as a result.
Being a PYP Teacher Part 1: Carry the Book
The 1st, 50th, 500th and 5000th step required in order to become a PYP Teacher – because this is a never-ending process – is to carry a copy of Making the PYP Happen with you at all times.
Don't go to any planning meetings without a copy of Making the PYP Happen. Instead, always have it with you so that you can:
- refer to it for guidance as you strive to make your planning purposeful
- refer to it to remind you of the five essential elements of the PYP
- refer to it for ways to make learning rich in possibilities
- refer to it so that you can ensure you really are educating the "whole child"
- refer to it so that you understand why, how and what to assess
- refer to it to seek clarity and the eloquent description of learning in its various forms
- refer to it so you can become familiar with how education is changing, and has been changing since 2009
Whenever I ask people where their copy of Making the PYP Happen is, in lots of schools, the responses frequently vary between:
- "Oh, I have one somewhere"
- "Umm… I have a digital copy, I think"
- "Yep, it's on my laptop. Let me just load it up"
- "I don't know where it is"
- "Ha ha ha, I don't keep one with me all the time!"
These responses are indicative of a school culture in which reference to the most important guiding document has not become a habit. This makes it a thousand times less likely that people will know what it says, and then this makes it 1000 times less likely that people will be able to make it happen.
Naturally, the reverse of this is equally true.
So, go on. Find your copy, or get one printed if you don't have one (digital just ain't good enough, my friend) and take it with you to all planning sessions. Having it there for reference, for inspiration and for guidance will empower you as you seek to become a better and better PYP Teacher.
I just hope that the enhanced PYP doesn't bring with it the removal of this amazing resource. In fact, I hope it brings quite the opposite.

It's a deal - and by fitting in the elevator, it also eliminates that big problem of having to have a really long extension cord!
If that thing has a good recliner, @dabigkahuna won't need a Murphy Bed in his place.
Next version: go ahead and integrate the Mac Mini and large screen display into the vehicle too.
Well, went to the Apple store. Only good news was that they opened 30 minutes earlier than I thought, they said they could get me to Genius Bar in about 20 minutes, and it turned out it only took 5.
The bad news is that they connected my Mini, using my hdmi cable, to both a 4k LG screen and to some lesser resolution screen and it worked EVERY SINGLE TIME! And we restarted it a bunch of times. Diagnostics didn't find anything either.
Came back home and still wouldn't work with the LG screen, though when I moved the hdmi to the old TV, it did work.
If it always worked on the old one, I would figure it must be the LG display (even if it did work with my 4k Apple TV). But since it doesn't always work with that old TV, either we have a heck of a coincidence or nothing to really go on to narrow down the problem!
I'll do more testing when I get back from lunch - mostly to see if the old TV continues to work. Can't figure out why it wouldn't over and over, then it usually would (but not every time). So I want more examples.
And in the store, did you do the same no-peripherals config at startup, so no mouse or keyboard, or did Apple plug in or Bluetooth in their stuff at the store?
Reason for asking is to see if the peripheral config has any influence on the mac's boot sequence. We want to use identical conditions for the comparo test.
Btw - what type of 4K tv did they use in the store, or did they use a 4K monitor?
I don't recall all the details. I know sometimes they had a mouse and keyboard plugged in. Don't know if the screen was just s monitor or not. But the 4K was LG.
For example, since the Apple TV 4K does not need any peripherals in its boot sequence, it went into 4K with the LG right away, as expected.
Just want to rule out a whether any firmware issue that might make the boot sequence trip up.
Also, when in store, we're you able to go to display preferences on the Mac and confirm it was in 4K at 60hz mode?
For example if the store monitor was set to hd mode, it would alias the test.
Things are getting worse!
When I got back from lunch, by intention was to go through the hassle of disconnecting everything, moving the 4K TV to be near an outlet on the other side of the room. Do the same with the Mini. IOW, get it away from everything else by 5 free or more.
But before doing that, I thought maybe I should pair my TB to it so I'm not dependent on the dongle all the time.
Since the old TV was still working with the Mini, I was able to pair just fine, but the available slot I was using was one I used to have set to qwerty, just in case a friend want to try the TB.
So after pairing, I went to the TB app to change it to use a dvorak map. First I tried to do it within the Jumps section and later just through maps.
It would typically get the serial numbers and then go to the first "Cloud" section. It might get to say, "ok", but it just kept spinning. Several times it just quit. I even tried shutting down the phone and restarting. Didn't work.
So I go to my iMac and find out that, even though the WiFi icon is lit, I don't seem to be able to get mail or load webpages! In fact, to send this message from my phone I had to turn off wi-if (I assume because even though it thought there was a connection, there really wasn't and so it wouldn't use cellular as long as WiFi was on.
So, having seen that issue, I just now went back with WiFi off and tried to apply the map. Worked fine.
Now I have to find out what is wrong with the WiFi (I did try unplugging it and plugging the power back in without success). And still see if I can get the display working.
At the store, when they looked at display prefs, it did have "default" marked. I don't know any details beyond that.
Tried plugging in the TV and Mini elsewhere. Still didn't work.
Tried to reset the TV. Assuming I did it right, all I accomplished was to make it where I can't get TV because the cable system isn't working so I can't get the corrections it seems to need for selecting stuff. Probably wasn't getting TV during this process anyway while the WiFi wasn't working, probably none of it was.
I'll reboot the cable system again, just in case. But otherwise I'll probably have to wait until I get back home again in a few hours to contact the cable company about that issue.
WiFi is now working so I'm back to just the display issue
I had problems with my MBP working with the LG 5k monitor connected over a USB 3c cable when the monitor first started shipping. My problem was that the monitor would come up totally black, and if you turned of all the lights in the room you could adjust the brightness of the display from the System Preferences. It also had issues coming correctly if you rebooted. I exchanged the monitor three times and all three had the same issue. I took the monitor to Apple with my laptop and demonstrated the problem to an Apple Genius at the request of a high level tech support guy at Apple. LG said that some of the problems was a known issue that would be resolved in 6 months when they updated the firmware. LG also retrofitted my unit with additional shielding that was causing problems. Apple never fessed up to anything, but a software update resolved some of the flakiness and it now works great. So working with LG and Apple was the trick. That was back in early 2017, which would have meant I was running High Sierra.
Now the main reason I went through this was to alert you to the firmware issue, so my monitor came with an MacOS app that updates the firmware, I don't know if your unit is similar, but I only made progress when I started returning the defective unit to LG and working with the high level support person at Apple.
Good Luck.
Hiser - yeah, those early 5K monitors were more fancy in terms of the firmware support needed for them, so it took a little while to get that settled over the last couple years.
But 4K TV is now such a pervasive consumer standard, apple explicitly advertises compatibility with them from the mini's hdmi port, right out of the box. So it's likely no new mini firmware is needed by now, particularly since it worked fine on an LG 4K TV in the apple store.
There's something else going on here, that we're just not catching. Some subtlety.
If the LG TV were simply defective, which is certainly possible, why does it reliably light up right away with the Apple TV 4K source?
There's something more to this.
Resolved to visit Best Buys about a mile away to check the mini with the TVs there.
That should give some definitive data.
Found out the big reason I opted to buy the TV from Amazon rather than the local Best Buy. Best Buy was, as I recall, only a little more money so worth it to buy locally. But the extend warranty was more. I don't recall offhand, but I'd say at least $50. Maybe $70. Amazon's was less than $12, which shocked me!
The trip to Best Buy wasn't too good. First, they really didn't want to help, saying they couldn't hook up anything to their displays. I got them to relent on that much and I got exactly the same result on their UK6300 as I usually get on mine - Apple icon shows up, thermometer starts, pauses at about 2/3, goes dark, comes right back on and thermometer continues to the end, screen goes dark and after a little wait, it comes up saying "No signal". Their screen would be set to demo mode, for whatever that is worth.
I did pick up a wired mouse and keyboard - figured it will always be good to have those in research in case wireless stuff breaks down, etc. So when I got home, I checked my setup again as usual (and got the same results), then plugged in the wired stuff and tried again. No difference.
So, high point summaries:
At first the Mini wouldn't connect to the new LG TV or the 1080p old Samsung.
At some point, the old TV started getting the signal pretty regularly (only one failure a couple days ago). So that's odd right there.
The 4k LG has only connected once after booting the computer (I generally get the full loading visual but originally I would be lucky to even get a couple seconds of that). That also seems odd since I would expect the failures to have some consistency.
The LG 4k the Apple store connected to it worked every single time, as did another (probably 1080p) they tried it with.
If it wasn't for those early failures on my old TV, I would assume the problem is that this monitor simply doesn't work. And then there is the fact that it works for WT. The WT example could be affected by whether they use this years Mini or a prior one as well as whether any of their LG 6300 are this year's (UK) as opposed to last year (UJ).
Since we have those odd results, it is darn hard to figure out what needs returning and what doesn't!
The only thing the guy assisting me suggested was to upgrade to a higher level, pointing to a Sony that cost twice as much!
Other fun things - or why in the past I have always just copied everything from my old system:
Gradually trying to add things on my new Mini - hoping it isn't the problem so I don't have to return it.
So, I see that my main mail account is there - it's says "iCloud" but it is a gmail account which is my main one with Apple. Of course, I want to get my other accounts on it so I look at my old computer for comparison.
On the old computer, it also has an iCloud account which actually shows the gmail address as well so I'm assuming that's fine.
But it also has 3 more:
Another iCloud account with Apple that I use to get more alias addresses.
Noe that says Gmail and clicking on it gives the same gmail address as the first one.
One that lists the gmail address but under it is says "Game Center".
When I click on it, it shows my Game Center name and lists my Friends there.
I do have another Apple account, but I don't see it listed, but I'm pretty sure I'm getting and sending mail with it (usually via more aliases).
So, all that is confusing.
But a bigger mystery, since it is keeping me from getting the iCloud account that is listed after the first one (the first one is the one that has a gmail address). I try to add an account, it asked for the address, then the password. But the password I'm pretty sure is right isn't working. Yet, if I go to me.com in safari and type in that email and the same password, I get in!
So, I don't understand this at all. Just been way too many years since I messed with this stuff.
Summary so far -
Ok, so your LG works the same as the second one in the Best Buy store, and it works fine with both your Apple TV 4K, and your cable box. So that suggests there's not likely something defective on the LG.
We have several macs - MBP and mini, that use this same LG display fine. We just plug and play. Can't say if our LG firmware is identical to yours, but we have 2017 and 2018 LG's,and we didn't have this issue with any of them.
Were you able to connect your mini to another 4K TV at best buys? Like that Sony for example?
That's the datapoint that can definitively confirm if there's something odd going on with your mini's configuration.
If the mini won't talk to any 4K tv except the one in the apple store, then that suggests apple may have set up their in-store 4K displays slightly differently, so they play well with their Macs. This possibility could mask a subtle configuration or defect issue with the mini that could produce what we're seeing.
Further, remember that even at 1080P, with your non-4K 23 inch tv, the mini would not consistently light it up. Sometimes you'd have to restart/replug even with the 23 inch HD TV.
So at this moment, with the data we have, it still tends to point to a subtle glitch with that particular mini.
@dabigkahuna regarding telling the different email accounts apart, there is an easy way since you are comparing the old and new computer.
In the Apple mail program open the triangle next to InBox to show all the individual inboxes for your mail accounts. They will be named the same as the names you have been seeing in the accounts setting.
Then click on each individual inbox to see which messages are in it. Do this on both the old and the new Mac to compare.
You can also go on the web to gmail.com, icloud.com and any other services to see what is in those inboxes, and compare it to the messages you see by clicking in the inboxes.
Hope this helps. I'm not sure whether I read correctly what the confusion was about, but the part about relating your gmail address to your icloud inbox made me think of using this approach to know which account is really which.
Didn't get to do more there. Like I said, it was hard to get a few moments to plug in the Mini. And they were busy, which didn't help. And when he talked about the Sony, he also made an immediate point that we couldn't test it (it was quite high up. I don't think my cable would have reached anyway. The others that were down low were 1080p tvs.
I can maybe try another Best Buy and see if they have accessible models.
If Apple has set their screens in some specific way, it is unlikely I'd be able to track down every setting and compare. I have a hard time finding settings I found before on just the one here!
Your point about restarting/replug the 23 inch TV may have been a factor. I just can't be sure now when I did that. Sometimes I'd have to unplug something to make room for something else. Or because I moved something. I don't think I moved that TV during all this. I know I unplugged it at least once, but don't recall when. I think it was after it already started working better, but I'm not sure.
I have unplugged the 4k screen numerous times without it helping.
If it is a problem with the Mini, I have no easy way to find out. After all, so far I only know of one model TV it doesn't work with. I don't have access to any other mini to plug into my TV. I'm pretty sure the Apple store isn't going to lend me one! And I can't take the time to return this one and get another without possibly running out of the return window on the TV (the local store said they normally just carry the base models).
If I can't figure out something soon, I'll probably just have to return everything and start the whole process over again.
Already having trouble getting mail accounts set up so I'd still have that issue on a new machine plus the hassle of redoing what I've already done.
Since I could go to me.com and log in with the Apple ID I wanted to add to the Mini, I decided to change the password. I was able to log in again with the new password, so I guess that worked. But I still can't add the account to mail. BTW, as I've been going through various mail settings on both computers, they don't match up, though both computers have Mojave!
Anyway, one thing that is annoying is that there are two places under the "Mail" menu that refer to accounts. One just says "Accounts" and the other says "Add Account". But both seem to let you add an account. I've tried choosing "iCloud". Also tried choosing "other" and then new mail account.
But the password never works. The phrasing on some screens is confusing. Since I already have this address on my other computer, I don't choose "create" new id. I did try going part way through the "create" process wit the address, but stopped it because it looked like it might be setting it up as the main account. Just hard to tell what they are doing!

Soccology Sunday: Lost Space/
Composure is spoken of throughout football and is seen as one of, if not, the only emotional skill that is acknowledged within the game. When composure is mentioned, it's in reference to being calm and in control of one's self when in possession of the ball. However, composure in possession can be disturbed by things happening off the field and not from threat of potentially losing possession e.g. I need to impress the manager so that I do not get dropped to the subs bench again.
Composure is about inner peace, while those in the game acknowledge players that may panic when making a decision on the pitch, the game is still blind to those who lose composure because of reasons off the field and experience a lack of composure off the field . Players bang down their manager's door in search of communication that had been neglected, hand in transfer requests because they feel mistreated and others quietly go about their lives unhappily in a lost space.
In my day we had the "bomb squad", the bomb squad was a group of players that didn't make the squad or were not wanted. The players would joke about being in the bomb squad although deep down they were hurt. Players were also "bombed" (demoted), from a team too.
Lost players are not only those who may be deemed not good enough, those seen as the cream of the crop also find themselves lost with no navigation as they get promoted through the youth team ranks to the first team, only to be relegated back to the U23/youth team. Playing well and getting demoted is a career knocking blow to take and managing the situation is tough, especially with no one to talk to. Parents, agents and staff will provide surface level lip service "get your head down and show you deserve to be there" but that doesn't help what the player's going through in the present moment.
Some of the old school will label the new school as soft and that they should get on with it like players did back in the day but players have a relationship with football and just like your spouse, if they mistreat you it breaks your heart. The old school went through this too, the difference was that they had no choice and no one would entertain the conversation. This is one of the few reasons why many players disappear, drink alcohol excessively, go partying and have affairs. These erratic behaviours are examples of how they lost composure, behaviour we don't want the current or future generations to repeat. The erratic behaviour created a more interesting scene for people to focus on while they pretended their reality didn't exist/distract themselves from it. The past isnt glossy at all.
"It's really difficult mentally, there's only so long you just enjoy training with top players." – Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Chelsea FC & England International
Ruben Loftus-Cheek is a player that finds himself in a lost space, from the outside people see the privilege of playing for Chelsea and earning a good wage but for the player, it's about playing. Playing every week, winning accolades and trophies, retiring with psychological showreel to be proud of. Ruben has recently experienced what I call the "loan high", it has been ruining relationships within clubs for decades. It's when players go on loan and their motivation gets upgraded. They experience pressure, intensity, extra attention and energy of from the fans that reserve games cannot give. Ruben Loftus-Cheek is one of the latest players to experience the loan high, an extreme high as he did well and earned a place at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
How can clubs help players navigate out of this space?
Communication and Honesty – Telling the player why they have been demoted, they may not agree or be happy with the decision but they will appreciate the honesty.
Fair – It's fine to have that sweatshirt in the wardrobe that you're not going to wear, yet you want to keep it but players are different. If they are not in your plans let them go. Emotionally players can coach themselves out of the space of being lost or receive assistance but not being able to physically exit can be tough.
Prehab – Education is key, the above two points are from the perspective of the coach/manager however, I believe in empowerment and players must be told about these scenarios once they become full time and given a space to play around with scenarios. When situations arise that become emotionally challenging, they will be better equipped to deal with them, otherwise their heart, performances and the clubs commodity goes down the drain. Everybody loses.
