Welcome to
Community Education
The Miami-Dade Coalition for Community Education (MDCCE) seeks to strengthen the sense of community by encouraging support of community education. Community Schools are schools that go beyond the traditional school day operations by providing academic, recreational and extracurricular activities for people of all ages. In keeping with our mission, the Coalition offers distinct funding opportunities and awards to benefit individual participants of community schools and lifelong learning.
Painting from the Heart Art Show Contest
The Miami Dade Coalition for Community Education (MDCCE) sponsors a painting contest whereby students submit artwork on paper or canvas. This Art Show will provide students from Miami Dade County Public Schools an opportunity to showcase their unique artistic abilities by submitting a drawing or painting of their choice at our exhibit. Artwork on paper or canvas is limited to (18"X24") unmated. Artwork must be completed within this current school year. Artwork must be completed dry/cured. Chalk and pastel submission must be sprayed with fixative. Paintings will be accepted in watercolor, pastels, oils & stencils. The top winners form our Art Show will receive an artistic basket worth over $100 in prizes.
Parade of Stars Talent Show
The Talent Show will provide all students in Miami Dade County Community Schools, Before/After School Programs & Magnet Schools the opportunity to showcase their individual talents in front of their parents, teachers, friends and the community. Three (3) Awards will be given at the end of the showcase to the most outstanding performance for: Best Vocal Performance, Best Dance Performance and Best Instrumental Performance.
Marge Pearlson Annual Scholarship
The MDCCE is proud to continue honoring Ms. Marge Pearlson with an annual scholarship in her name. In 1976, at the height of America's Bicentennial Celebration, while attending the National Community Education Association convention, Ms. Pearlson proposed a "National Salute to Community Education" which focused on a symbolic "turning on the lights" in community schools throughout the nation in an effort to "enlighten" citizens and legislators about the meaning of Community Education and its future potential as America entered in its third century. This lead to the Afterschool Alliance in Washington, D.C. adopting the theme and holding a nation-wide "Lights on Afterschool" showcasing after school programs and Community Education.
This scholarship opportunity is directed towards graduating high school students from Miami-Dade Community Education Centers and/or Adult Education Centers who have overcome obstacles to achieve success in academics and personal goals. The candidate must submit a 2-page essay (typed) describing how Community Education has helped him/her overcome obstacles related to their academic and social development. The winner will receive an award of $500. The funds must be used for graduation fees or costs associated with college or post-secondary education. The MDCCE will announce the date for entering the contest. The winner will be announced at the Coalition's Annual School House Awards Banquet. The winner and one guest will be invited to attend this event, free of charge..
If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Ms. Jamilee Martinez, MDCCE Manager, at 305-261-8383 Ext. 2234, or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com..

What Is A Standard Variable Rate?
12th May 2017
A Standard Variable Rate (SVR) is a mortgage lender's default interest rate, which you'll usually be moved onto once your initial mortgage deal has ended. An SVR is a variable rate that the lender can change at any time. To avoid paying the SVR, it's a good idea to remortgage once your initial deal has ended.
When you first get a mortgage, you'll probably be offered an introductory interest rate for a fixed period. This could be a discounted variable rate or a low fixed rate, for example. When this period ends, you'll usually automatically start paying the lender's Standard Variable Rate (SVR), which is a standard interest rate decided by the lender. Each lender has their own method for calculating their SVR.
Compared to initial rates, SVRs tend to be quite high, and since they're variable, they can move up and down. The SVR will often reflect movements in the financial markets - such as changes in the Bank of England's base rate - but it can also be changed at any time by the lender.
Example: At the time of writing (12th May 2017), one of Halifax's mortgage products has an initial rate of 1.94%, fixed for two years (based on a 25-40% deposit). After two years, you'll be switched onto their Standard Variable Rate of 3.74% for the remaining mortgage term. As the rate is variable, remember that 3.74% is only the current rate at the time you're taking out your mortgage, and it's likely to change over time.
Remortgaging to avoid paying the SVR
It's often possible to avoid paying the pricier Standard Variable Rate by remortgaging once your initial mortgage period is over.
Remortgaging is the process of switching to a new mortgage, usually to save money. By doing this, you should be able to benefit from a more competitive rate for an initial period.
While lenders often charge an Early Repayment Charge (ERC) if you remortgage during the initial period, once this period is over you should be able to move your mortgage without paying an ERC. Bear in mind that there are some costs and fees involved in remortgaging.
Example: You have a mortgage amount of £173,400, repayable over 25 years. Your initial deal has ended, so you're about to be switched onto your lender's SVR of 4.63%. Instead, you remortgage and get an initial discounted rate of 1.39%. Compared to paying your lender's SVR, this saves you £3,500 per year during the new initial period.
Using Trussle to remortgage
Trussle can tell you whether now is a good time to remortgage. Use the mortgage calculator to see if you could save money by switching to a new deal. If the time's right, you can use Trussle to find a new mortgage and manage the application process. Once your new mortgage is in place, we'll keep an eye on things and let you know when it could be a good time to switch again in future, so that you're never paying more than you should.

Joseph's 1st Birthday and Studio Anywhere
When Joseph's mom contacted me about pictures for his first birthday, I was happy to oblige for what she envisioned but I asked her if she would indulge me and allow me to bring Joseph into the studio. Photo shoots on location are great but I wanted to do something a little more formal for him, especially when he is absolutely styling. This kid is GQ ready!
There is an advantage to using studio strobes with small children - it can freeze action which, when dealing with fast-moving toddlers, can be a benefit. And it allows for what I like to say is a more "painterly" effect, which makes a studio portrait timeless and classic.
But I also wanted to try something else. Some time ago, I read a book called "Studio Anywhere" by Nick Fancher (a "must read" for photographers) and he related in this book about how as a New York City photographer, he had to learn to be creative with the small spaces of big city apartments (not to mention having to lug gear around on the subway). And speaking of New York City - my hometown - I have memories of my mother hiring a photographer to come to our home to do formal pictures of me and my older sister. Right there, in our little Bronx living room.
So why not try that?
I told Logan, Joseph's mom, that I would come to her. Here's the scenario: a house currently undergoing major remodeling to add an addition and extend the living area. Ideal, right? Nothing like plaster and dry wall and studs to shoot around. But . . . it worked. I set up a small studio in the work area (what's a little plaster dust?) and more importantly, Joseph got to be in familiar surroundings, which made him more comfortable and not as likely to be distracted.
Check out this handsome little man!
So why not schedule a portrait session in your home? You would be surprised what could be used to accommodate a "studio anywhere" - a bedroom, the garage, even the backyard (assuming it isn't pouring rain as it was today). The studio lights are supplying the light, not the ambient light, so it can be a dark room or a basement.
"Stephanie, do you have a studio?"
Yes, I do. I am pleased to announce that I will be setting up a formal studio in downtown Powell, in the historic Groner Building that was part of the old depot. Stay tuned for announcements about its opening!

Reptile Surveys: Presence / Absence Surveys
What is a Reptile Presence/Absence Survey?
Reptile presence/absence surveys are a method for establishing whether there is a population of reptiles on site and, if so, which species. We can sometimes gain a population estimate from the results of these surveys.
The survey technique makes use of the basking behaviour of reptiles to attract and count them. Square sheets of roofing felt are laid out in strategic positions across the site - targeting areas where conditions are suitable for basking such as ecotones between grassland and scrub; close to existing wood and stone piles; and on south facing banks. During a 'bedding in' period, any reptiles on the site will find these squares and use them either for sheltering beneath, or basking above as their black surface means they warm quickly in the sun. Our surveyors then go out to count reptiles on these tiles over a course of seven survey visits.
How can LSC help?
Our ecologists have experience in undertaking presence/absence surveys for all common reptile species including grass snake, adder, common lizard and slow worm. We can draw upon this experience to provide the most effective and efficient survey design for your site to provide the information you need to support Planning. Our team can assist with advice on avoidance or compensation/mitigation habitat, as well as habitat design and translocation of any reptile populations we identify.
Our surveys are completed to the Best Practice Guidelines outlined by the JNCC, and our reports comprehensively provide the information required by our clients to secure Planning Permission.

Wichita State Shockers
Lankster ready to lead new-look WSU
If you listen to Wichita State women's basketball coach Jody Adams talk about her program for a few minutes, it's easy to sense her excitement about the upcoming season.
And plenty of that excitement stems from Adams' eight-woman recruiting class that wipes the slate clean from the Jane Albright era, although Adams likes to link it to the growth of sophomore Haleigh Lankster.
"She's a totally different player," Adams said. "The difference in one year is amazing."
Last year, Lankster looked to be in the mold of graduated senior Daria Frazier _ an athletic wing player with the ability to slash to the basket or shoot. With limited options, Adams also used Lankster as the team's top perimeter defender.
Now, as one of three returning players from last season' 13-18 team, Lankster must take on another role _ leader.
"She has accepted the challenge that Jody has given her," said senior Ashley Gladden. "I'm excited about what she will bring."
During media day Monday afternoon at Koch Arena, Adams spoke about the newfound athleticism, speed and talent that will be on the court this year for WSU. And, that there is no better player that exemplifies that than Lankster.
"I really challenged her to grow and use her God-given abilities to change some of the things that were undisciplined... to be more of a disciplined player," Adams said.
Lankster's off-season brought plenty of film study with the coaches, picking apart the areas of her game that needed the most improvement.
"Last year, I played a lot on the ball and now I think I'm moving off the ball," Lankster said. "I am more active with my hands and not so much fouling. Just a bigger stance with my hands."
With so many new faces on the court this season, Lankster wants the three returners to fill that role. to be the three returners.
"I wanted to step up and show the new people how we play here at Wichita State," Lankster said. "And how we out-work and out-compete. That's what me, Marisah (Henderson) and (Ashley Gladden) are doing _ leading the way."

For a long time, cats got the short end of the stick. Actually, they didn't even get that since dogs needed it to play fetch. Man's best friends are playful, loyal and endearingly stupid, which is why they always stole the spotlight from other pets. With films like Air Bud, Lassie and 101 Dalmatians, who could blame them? They were the ideal companion, while cats were pushed aside and stereotyped as evil.
And then YouTube happened.
Suddenly, people became enraptured by cats barking like dogs, tabbies jumping (and falling) from one ledge to another, and tiny kittens asserting territorial dominance over their human pets. The tides were finally turning in this silent war between animals for our affection. Keanu is just further proof that cats are one paw closer to world domination.
In all seriousness, Keanu is a smart and entertaining parody of revenge thrillers. By featuring the most adorable kitten in cinematic history, it also capitalizes on this cat craze.
Starring Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele from Key & Peele fame, Keanu is the story of a Rell (Peele) and his friend Clarence (Key) as they journey into the world of gangs and drug lords to find Rell's stolen kitten, Keanu.
Comedy is extremely subjective. It is incredibly hard to make a broad group of people laugh in unison. That being said, I found this film very funny. If you are a fan of Key & Peele, you will enjoy it. If you have never seen Key & Peele and are still on the fence about the film, watch one of the show's sketches on YouTube. If you like what you see, you will have a fun time at the theater.
However, Keanu is not just a 98-minute-long Key & Peele sketch with a larger budget. Although the humor is similar, the film has an actual story. It may be absurd, but it is well-told and filled with charming characters that are more than simple caricatures. The bits of action compliment the comedy and the ending is satisfying and promising.
Key, Peele and the seven kittens playing Keanu are what this movie needed to be incredible for it to work. And they are. The kittens steal every scene they are in and the two comedians have the crowd laughing from start to end. Yet, they do not carry the film alone. The supporting cast, which includes Tiffany Haddish, Nia Long, Jason Mitchell and Method Man to name a few, give equally wonderful performances.
One specific scene does drag, but the film does a fine job shifting back and forth between that with one of the funniest scenes in the film, preventing audiences from getting bored. The movie is also a little inconsistent with characters' obsessions with Keanu. There are moments where he is treated as an afterthought.
If Keanu is the product of all those hours lost to watching kittens doing nothing, then I consider it time well spent. The film is a mixture of lighthearted fun and sheer madness. Don't be a dog person. Watch it.
Keanu was released April 29, 2016.

- Work closely with staff experienced in forest conservation, agroforestry, agronomy, participatory community development, social entrepreneurship, and marketing/communications.
- Hands-on experience in all of the above plus agriculture, landscape management, organic certifications, Fair Trade certification, indigenous rights, climate change mitigation, biodiversity monitoring, women's empowerment, grant writing, and online marketing/media.
- Numerous research & dissertation opportunities available if requested, including Agricultural Economics, Social Entrepreneurship, Forest Conservation, Climate Change mitigation, Environmental Education, Agroforestry, Community Development, Indigenous Cultures, Gender Rights, and more.
- Participate in and help develop cultural exchange events including ecotourism, farm to table Amazonian forest foods meals, and guayusa tea ceremonies.
- Keywords: agroforestry, agricultural economics, biodiversity, sustainable development, research, community development, economic development, social entrepreneurship, climate change, indigenous groups, new product development, women's empowerment.
College students, graduate students, industry professionals, and anyone interested in our work are warmly invited to the Ecuadorian Amazon to support our organization and/or conduct research in a number of areas related to forest conservation, biodiversity, community development, and sustainable development. Working with our dynamic NGO, indigenous communities, and other researchers and consultants, you have the opportunity to support participatory community development and conservation projects and expand a new, green industry in Ecuador that is already receiving national and international attention.
The NGO for which you will work provides direct market access, agroforestry training, and holistic development services to local indigenous Amazonian farming families, by leveraging Fair Trade partnerships to create sustainable social change. With a network of over 2,500 farming families, a 10 person staff, and a diverse network of advisors and consultants, our well-known organization is pioneering a social enterprise model that has the potential to transform local Ecuadorian economies and provide sustainable livelihoods for local people, while preserving the rainforest.
We have already planted over 1.2 million guayusa trees (a holly tree native to the Ecuadorian Amazon) and currently work with over 200 indigenous communities to develop new livelihood opportunities that enable families to increase their income while conserving their forests. Through the organization, farmers have an avenue to sell culturally significant, environmentally friendly, and economically valuable species, greatly reducing the need for farmers to degrade the protected primary forests they live beside. Through their collaboration with our NGO and Fair Trade, farmers learn conservation tactics as well as the skills they need to sustainably produce and sell certified native products – creating a system that is mutually beneficial to the local people and the forest.
You will be able to work together with locals in the Amazon, helping to build a new industry and commercial structure for guayusa and other non-timber forest products, learning from a pioneering social enterprise that has the potential to transform the way that indigenous people interact with the international economy
This is an opportunity for motivated, enthusiastic, and adventurous interns to work in the Amazon rainforest and help support the growth of a budding social enterprise with a unique social and environmental mission. You will have the chance to participate in groundbreaking research and innovative projects in a range of areas which are essential for the growth and development of guayusa and the local communities. This work is highly dynamic, field-based, collaborative, and exciting.
Daily Life
This NGO is implementing a project to work alongside communities to develop integrative forest management plans and perform research on biodiversity in the region. This includes sustainable forest management, agroforestry production, community forest investment plans, and wildlife monitoring and conservation. The NGO has an office based in the small town of Tena, and does field work all around the region to complete these and other projects. Interns have the chance to work in the communities alongside locals studying and monitoring conservation "buffer zones" next to the protected forests and reserves. These buffer zones help mitigate extractive activities, like logging and the hunting of endangered species, within the area of conservation.
Our Forest Conservation & Sustainable Agriculture interns will work with staff collaboratively on various projects. One example of a project is supporting in the creation of a baseline monitoring system of activities that occur in communal forest reserves and protected areas. You will use GIS to create maps that outline areas of production, conservation, and communal reserves.
Other activities include:
–Drafting management plan activities with communities related to sustainable forest management, women's empowerment, agroforestry production, and wildlife monitoring.
–Conducting monitoring of biodiversity factors in 6 model farms throughout the region.
–Planning and assisting with workshops on reforestation, conservation, community development, and guayusa harvesting.
–Reporting on findings from household, timber harvest and agricultural economic surveys. -placing camera traps in the forest reserves near the communities, to create a wildlife census.
–Work with communities to plant guayusa and other trees in conservation buffer zones.
Option for Research Projects:
Researchers or university students are welcome to come to complete field research – specific research projects will need prior approval of project directors and will depend on experience and staff availability. Past projects have involved market value chain development of Amazonian products, biodiversity evaluation sampling, impact studies on benefits of Fair Trade, and more.
Beyond Environmental Development and Agroforestry, there is also an opportunity to engage in all aspects of the NGOs work, especially including:
Social Impact Storytelling
There is the option to help create engaging and provocative videos and written stories about the foundation's work in the Ecuadorian Amazon, highlighting the farmers we work with, the significance of guayusa to the Kichwa culture, and the dynamic Amazon jungle. Beyond longer stories and videos, you can assist us to develop brand awareness by creating digital online and web media by preparing, editing, updating, and composing online material such as graphics, photos, and audio/video clips, which will be integrated with our social networking mediums. This role allows you to build a unique media profile whilst supporting our work and sharing Guayusa with the world.
Eco-Tourism Development
We have supported development of a community ecotourism project to follow the "guayusa trail," observe the process of growing and producing guayusa drinks from beginning to end, explore indigenous Kichwa communities, and participate in authentic Kichwa cultural activities (early morning guayusa ceremonies, creating jewellery and clothes from natural fibers, etc.) Interns can help to develop this ecotourism center within one of our collaborating communities!
Travel & Accom.
The best airport to fly into is Quito (UIO, Mariscal Sucre International Airport) as it is only 4 hours from the project. You will be put in contact with the director of the program upon applying and they can give easy to follow instructions to get to the project Headquarters from Quito or Guayaquil International airport.
Interns will live in the vibrant Intern house, which is a space of intercultural sharing and intellectual engagement located in the center of Tena a few blocks from restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacies, public parks, forested trails and meandering rivers. The two-story building houses both intern accommodations and the Foundation office space. The main office space is located on the second floor, but group work spots and desks are scattered throughout the house to accommodate both collaborative and individual work. The second floor also includes a large outdoor terrace; a communal kitchen fully stocked with a stove, refrigerator, and cooking equipment; two bedrooms with bunk beds capable of sleeping 10 interns; and two bathrooms.
Bedding and towels are provided. On the third floor of the house there is a meeting room that is great for group work or as a quiet space away from the office. There's another outdoor terrace which is an excellent space to eat meals, workout, and enjoy beautiful views of the city and its surrounding mountains at sunset.
We request that interns commit to a minimum of 8 weeks on the ground in Ecuador, have an intermediate level of Spanish proficiency (or a strong motivation to learn quickly before and upon arriving!), and bring knowledge in their area of research if looking to do a personal project. Interns are expected to finance their own travel costs and food.
For those interns looking to do their own research or fieldwork for university – we offer the knowledge and time of our engineers and field technicians, technical knowledge and informational databases, access to communities, NGOs, government agencies, and consultants, and pre- and post-research support.

Spring is in the air, which may be prompting you to start cleaning projects that you may have neglected over the winter. Spring is a time of new beginnings, and you can breathe new order into your home as you complete projects to streamline your home and your life.
Here are some tips to assist you in your spring cleaning endeavors:
- Hang your clothes out to dry. Give your bedding a thorough wash and hang it out to dry in the sunshine. This will help brighten up dingy whites and give them a crisp, clean smell.
- Remove the dust from your drapes by putting them in the dryer with a wet towel that will draw off the dust. Pull the drapes out of the dryer when they are warm, and hang them up right away so that they can dry wrinkle-free.
- Remove lime build-up around your faucets by covering them with a paper towel soaked in vinegar. Let the towel sit for an hour. When you remove the towel, you will see that the lime deposits have softened for easy removal.
- Use a mixture of soda water and salt to clean your refrigerator. The bubbles of the soda water and the abrasive property of the salt combine for a great cleaning agent.
- Clean the blades of the ceiling fan by coating them with furniture polish. Lightly buff after wiping off the excess polish.
- Clean your window screens with a piece of carpet. The carpet makes an efficient brush for removing the dirt that may have accumulated on your screens. For windows, make sure to use soap and water and a windshield squeegee to dry the glass effectively.
If your spring cleaning fails to give your home the new gleam that you're hoping for, consider doing some low-cost upgrades. If your kitchen surfaces are dull or damaged, try covering them with Instant Granite vinyl film. The film is easy to apply and gives the look of marble or granite for a fraction of the price of the real thing.

Giants embarrass Redskins, 45-12
During his introductory news conference last week, new Washington Redskins General Manager Bruce Allen talked about the organization's rich history, which his father, George, contributed to during his Hall of Fame coaching career.
The elder Allen's philosophy of "the future is now" still applies, the son said, and the plan is for the struggling Redskins to return to prominence sooner rather than later. After watching the team in person for the first time since being hired, however, who could blame Allen if he revised his timetable?
The New York Giants overwhelmed their NFC East rivals from the outset Monday night in what was easily the Redskins' worst performance under Coach Jim Zorn -- and among the worst in their recent history -- while sprinting to a 45-12 victory at FedEx Field.
"We didn't show up," fullback Mike Sellers said.
On a chilly night in their next-to-last game at FedEx this season, the Redskins (4-10) were booed off the field at halftime after a bizarre sequence in which Zorn twice in the final two seconds of the half approved a gadget play with the Redskins at the Giants 20-yard line. To say the least, the play did not work, and punter Hunter Smith was hit hard, threw an interception and the half ended on the return.
Many in an announced crowd of 78,359 voiced their displeasure in booing as the team disappeared into the tunnel trailing 24-0. New York (8-6) thoroughly outplayed Washington in every facet of football en route to building the big cushion during its fourth consecutive victory in the series and eighth in the last nine meetings. With the win, the Giants, who endured a long slide after a 5-0 start this season, kept alive their playoff hopes with two games remaining in the regular season.
Early in the fourth quarter, there was an on-field altercation involving DeAngelo Hall, Albert Haynesworth and Giants running back Brandon Jacobs. Haynesworth, who was assessed a personal foul, and Jacobs threw punches and the NFL is expected to take disciplinary action.
"It just feels like we're all going in different directions," Haynesworth said. "We need someone to lead us in the right direction."
Allen last week said he would evaluate Zorn and his staff over the final three games before making any decisions about Zorn's future.
The last few days have been the most trying for Zorn in his brief and tumultuous tenure with the team. Secondary coach Jerry Gray recently interviewed for Zorn's job, people within the Redskins organization said. Gray has denied meeting with owner Daniel Snyder to discuss his boss's job.
"I'm trying not to even deal with that because it's right during the season," Zorn said of the reports about Gray's pursuit of the job. "I'm trying to stay really focused, I think I can do a pretty good job of taking a breath, breathing out and then moving on and that's what I choose to do in those situations. I owe it to our team, our players, our fans to keep concentrating on what's at hand."
New York quarterback Eli Manning was impressive in leading five touchdown drives of at least 50 yards. Manning completed 19 of 26 passes (73 percent) for 268 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions. Manning had an eye-opening quarterback rating of 144.4 and was removed from the game with about nine minutes to play.

Launchpad Entry: hardware-kernel-n-stable-frankenkernel-maintenance
Created: 2010-10-05
Packages affected:
Check which drivers in released kernels are non-standard for the basic release and decide how to handle stable maintenance on those.
Release Note
This should not have any impact on the release notes.
Starting at least with Lucid we had various drivers being replaced by versions from newer kernels before release. This can, in some cases lead to those miss some upstream stable updates as the changes may not apply to the drivers in the kernel base but could be necessary for the newer driver. How can we handle that best?
The deviations are documented in KernelDriverDeviations
In the range of deviated drivers, the DRM subsystem in Lucid is an even more special case. While the main kernel is a LTS release, the DRM parts have been taken from 2.6.33. And while 2.6.32 is also a long term supported kernel upstream, 2.6.33 has already been discontinued. However, graphics being one of the most noticeable systems, it was clear that we need something there. So we maintain a stable combined tree on kernel.org which follows Greg's 2.6.32.y stable tree but adds patches for DRM. Currently we get submissions from Debian and from our various teams only. And the process to queue things up is not very visible.
Currently submissions are taken from the kernel-team mailing list and are then added at some point. Also scanning patches applied to 2.6.32.y and the most recent upstream stable tree. But there should be some feedback when queuing things.
- Send out mails to all SOB/CC about queuing the patch?
- Send out announcement mails to LKML whenever a new DRM33 release was uploaded?
For other more recent drivers:
- Should be actively scan for stable updates after the kernel they came from is no longer supported upstream?
- Should drivers taken from a rc tree be always SRUed to the upstream release version?
- Is there a way to trigger at least some warning when applying patches to deviated drivers?
This section should describe a plan of action (the "how") to implement the changes discussed. Could include subsections like:
Unresolved issues
This should highlight any issues that should be addressed in further specifications, and not problems with the specification itself; since any specification with problems cannot be approved.
BoF agenda and discussion
Use this section to take notes during the BoF; if you keep it in the approved spec, use it for summarising what was discussed and note any options that were rejected.
Review of the proposed STRAW MAN:
Types of patches:
1) stable upstream patches, are taken wholesale. No testing of individual functionality. 2) patch for a specific issue with a bug. Must have a tester with the hardware configuration who will test.
Patches will bake for a week, anything in (2) which is not verified will be dropped from the update. We will not attempt to verify stable updates. At the end of the week we upload the remainder. This is then tested before release to -updates.
For security we propose moving the non-critical/non-embargoed security patches to normal process. They will get rolled into the primary stable updates as the type (1) above.
For an embargoed patches we will push those out into the -security pocket as normal. Those patches come back as they do now, they are merged in and we re-upload -proposed. If this is in the first week then this should not rerestart the clock. In the second week if we cannot complete the regression testing then restart the second week.
What are certification/QA capable of testing in terms of volume. Where would certification/QA test be reported.
Security kernels need just as much verification and certification testing as all other kernels.
See the blueprints whiteboard for actions.

Santa Fe shooting reminds us to say our prayers - and then get to work
I spent some time praying Friday morning, after hearing about a mass shooting at Santa Fe High School in northeast Galveston County. I said some more prayers on the way into town, at a church I passed along the way.
And that evening, having made my way back to the Houston Chronicle, I said another quick prayer after hearing the news that the school police officer, John Barnes, was in stable condition after surgery at UTMB Galveston.
Ten people were killed at Santa Fe High School, and the death toll may well have been higher if not for the courage shown by law enforcement officers like Barnes, a 23-year veteran of the Houston Police Department who began working at the school four months ago.
Read more: Morning of chaos at Santa Fe school
He was critically injured while confronting the shooter, who was subsequently taken into custody. So his survival was a piece of good news at the end of an otherwise heartbreaking and dispiriting day, and I prayed for his swift and full restoration.
The shooter had been a student at the high school. I heard some speculation about him after I joined a group of people who were gathered around a picnic table outside a bar called Murphy's, on Highway 6, close to the school.
One of the men had heard that the shooter was wearing a trench coat. That burned him up to think about, he explained. You can't hide a shotgun in a pair of Daisy Dukes, but girls who wear such shorts to school get sent home anyway.
A woman had heard that the shooter had been bullied. This was a possibility that elicited no sympathy from the group. Lots of students get bullied at some point, one of her friends observed; that's not an excuse for murdering 10 people.
"We've raised a lot of really good kids over the years," he had told me earlier, after I joined the group.
Read more: Wounded officer didn't hesitate to confront shooter
I'm sure that's the case, and that it's still true today and that the same is true of the many other communities across the United States that have been left in mourning after similar killing sprees.
And the school shooting in Santa Fe was similar to those which have preceded it, if you ask me. The perpetrator in this case had apparently brought explosives to school, in addition to guns. So did the Columbine killers, who murdered 12 of their classmates on April 20, 1999.
The woman sitting to my right had a personal connection to that massacre, too, it turned out.
Her ex-husband's nephew had been a student at Columbine, she explained. Thankfully, he had been outside running when the killing began, during his gym period.
"It's a small world," marveled the man to my left.
It's also a country that has a problem with mass shootings, such as the one their small town had just endured.
Read more: A generation of students has lived with school shootings
My colleagues at the Chronicle and other media have reported on the tragedy itself, of course, but I'm a columnist who really isn't sure what else to say about school shootings, at this point.
They're bad? It's a shame that they keep happening? And it's disgraceful that so many of our leaders are still reluctant to have a serious conversation about why that's the case and what we might do about it, even though it's been nearly 20 years since the Columbine massacre?
Most Americans would agree with those opinions, obviously. And the Texans I met in Santa Fe had, of course, been personally affected by this latest tragedy. So I figured I would just try to learn a bit about their community, and what it was like that morning, before the first shots were fired.
Santa Fe Elementary's third-graders were supposed to go on a field trip on Friday, to the town's library. But some of them missed it because their parents, having heard about the disturbance at the high school, decided to keep them home.
Later, after I returned to Houston, I learned that Gov. Greg Abbott called for a roundtable on the subject of mass shootings, during his own visit to Santa Fe that day. I'm not against the idea, per se; in fact, I suggested we might try having a serious conversation about mass shootings back in November, in the wake of the mass shooting in Sutherland Springs.
Read more: Can we have a serious conversation after Sutherland Springs?
But the conversation itself wouldn't have changed anything, or prevented the mass shootings that have happened since then, obviously. My point was that it's not unreasonable to expect our leaders to be willing to consider such things.
"The problem is not guns, it's hearts without God," said Abbott earlier this month, when he appeared in Dallas at the annual meeting of the National Rifle Association.
I don't find it offensive when leaders ask for prayers in the wake of a mass killing. I've usually already started praying.
It's been pretty clearly established that prayers don't prevent school shootings, of course, but I've never expected them to. I just pray for the people who have been left brokenhearted by them — that we may be healed, and comforted, and stronger than the leaders who seem to think we should be resigned to the occasional slaughter of children, or numb to the fact that such slaughters have become routine.

Every Treatment Thereafter
The first treatment is 2 hours. Every PSM treatment thereafter is 45 minutes to an hour. Between sessions, it is good to be aware of any changes in your life, emotions, or physically that may come up. Take note of these changes and relay them to your PSM healer (Courtney) at your next session. In every session there will be time to share your experiences before receiving the medicine, and then there will be time to receive the medicine and relax.
During the PSM session, the healer calls upon the plants to give you medicine. The plants continue to give you healing support even after the session is over. This healing support may feel very peaceful, it may feel like memories and emotions or physical sensations coming up and clearing, or it may feel like nothing at all. If you do have a real experience of something coming up to be cleared, it will usually last no longer than a couple days. Afterwards you will likely feel much lighter and more peaceful. If there is something that seems to be lasting longer, or you have any concerns regarding this process, please contact Courtney.
It is important to continue with regular treatments. The plants have just begun their healing work with you and it is important to give them a chance to pick up where they left off. Please read about the frequency of treatments here:

Does anybody know a source in South Florida for this one. I was originally looking for the Temple but have had a hard time finding that one too. Then I read about the Shasta Gold, which is suppose to be a newly developed mandarin that everybody has been raving about with Temple parentage. I'm not even sure it's available in South Florida yet. If anybody knows where to find one or when they are going to become available I would appreciate it.
Andrew, you can buy a Temple Orange from this Florida Nursery/grower.https://www.briteleaf.com/product/temple-orange/Millet

We can help. You can overcome drug addiction and have a better life than you ever thought possible!
There are numerous alcohol and drug rehab facilities possibilities to people living in the Crockett area. It is very important understand each one of the types of treatment options that exist in Crockett, AB., in order to select the suitable rehab approach for yourself or a family member. Choosing the proper drug rehabilitation program in Crockett is an essential element in the treatment of drug abuse, drug addiction and alcoholism. The following info will help you to recognize your various rehabilitation options so that you have the greatest potential for an effective end result.
Let's have a look at the various drug rehab programs in Crockett, Kentucky possibilities that correlate with the condition of the individual seeking rehab.
Inpatient drug and alcohol rehab in Crockett, AB. is really a treatment possibility best for those who require medical treatment for the duration of treatment or clients with considerable drug use histories. Women and men can develop mental and physical dependence to drugs and alcohol even after a short period of time, so inpatient drug rehab in Crockett is among the most reliable rehabilitation option in the majority of situations. Because of substance abuse and addiction, women and men will usually be unable to recover using the limited solutions provided by outpatient treatment facilities in Crockett, Kentucky where alcohol and drugs remain readily available when they leave the outpatient facility. Likewise, people in treatment who receive outpatient rehab rather than inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation in Crockett remain vulnerable to detrimental relationships and situations that might cut across their process of recovery. If an individual lives with an abusive companion or continues to maintain associations which involve drug abuse, any rehabilitation activities in outpatient rehabilitation will be in vain. For this reason in-patient drug and alcohol rehabilitation in Crockett, AB. is going to generate more beneficial outcomes which will prove long lasting unlike an outpatient drug treatment center where advantages are often very minimal and acute.
In Crockett there is both short-term and long-term inpatient alcohol and drug rehab. Short-term is often a 30-day program, while long-term inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation in Crockett, Kentucky is more prolonged and rehabilitation lasts 3 to 6 months on average. This is an ideal setting for clients as it is a secure drug free setting where they can recover both mentally and physically without distraction. Ideally, people proceed within a long-term in-patient drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility in Crockett for the maximum time frame permitted, to enable them to deal with anything which may jeopardize their sobriety once they leave rehabilitation. Because of the fact that detoxing and becoming physically stable can take 2-3 weeks by itself, the 3 to 6 months in long-term in-patient drug and alcohol rehabilitation in Crockett is going to be time spent well and significantly more effective than short-term programs.
The key aspect of all if you or someone you love has a drug abuse or addiction issue is to get it resolved right away, call someone and talk to experienced addiction professionals and get an evaluation and treatment possibilities to guarantee the best chance for a recovery.

Research interests
I'm interested in how adult second language learners acquire new speech sounds and words along with the types of information that native speakers provide to second language learners. For example, when a native speaker is talking to a second language learner they might speak more slowly or emphasize certain words – generally using a more careful form of speech. What lexical characteristics cause native speakers to speak more carefully, and is careful speech helpful for second language learners?
Dissertation title or topic
Lexical effects on second language acquisition
Please share a surprising or noteworthy fact or finding from your research
Careful speech is helpful for second language learners, but only in specific contexts. For example, careful speech helps learners recognize high frequency words faster. This is surprising because we might expect careful speech to help with the recognition of more difficult low frequency words instead. Rather, learners perform similarly on low frequency words whether or not they are produced carefully. Therefore, familiarity with the word helps learners make use of careful speech. Native speakers, on the other hand, perform better on high-frequency words in a typical non-careful pronunciation, because that's the type of input that native speakers typically receive.

Professor Kathleen Doty's "History of the English Language" class at Humboldt State University started my interest in linguistics, and it was with her encouragement that I pursued graduate studies.
Which scholarly text do you wish you had written? Why?
It's not quite a scholarly text, but I wish I had written Dan Jurafsky's The Language of Food: A Linguist Reads the Menu. It describes how languages and cultures change and interact through the lens of food. The book is also full of interesting facts, such as the origin of the word "ketchup," which came into English through Cantonese, and it presents linguistics to non-linguists very well.
Which other researchers at UC Davis are doing work that particularly interests you?
I am interested in the work being done by Professor Robert Bayley (Linguistics) and Professor Jamal Abedi (Education) regarding the assessment of English language learners in K-12 schools. Currently, many English language learners without learning disabilities are placed in special education classes, while at the same time English language learners with learning disabilities go undiagnosed. Bayley and Abedi are working to develop effective assessment tools for English language learners with and without disabilities.
What's the best thing about being a grad student?
Having a flexible schedule and the freedom to spend time researching topics that I find interesting.
What's the worst?
Answering the question, "When will your dissertation be finished?"
If you weren't a grad student, what would you be doing?
Teaching English to adult second language learners.
Finally, please ask yourself a question
How many languages do you know?
Linguists actually really dislike being asked this question. Linguistics is about the analysis of language and its structure rather learning a lot of different languages. Still, most linguists have studied more than one language. Some languages that I've studied include German, Japanese, Arabic, and Finnish. At the moment, I'm working on learning some Korean, so I guess it's not too unfair a question after all…

FEMA has had a coloring book available for children to download that has a 9/11 theme called "A Scary Thing Happened." FEMA has just decided to pull the coloring book off of its website.
The government agency that bungled the Hurricane Katrina response has yanked a kiddie coloring book from its site called "A Scary Thing Happened" that depicts the burning twin towers on the cover – with a plane heading straight for one of them.
On page 12, the stomach-churning 9/11 image is repeated not once but three times, complete with flames – for kids to color.
See, I told you it was real.
Needless to say … some New Yorkers weren't happy about the coloring book.
"I feel disrespected," said Jason Owens, 20, of Manhattan, who was with his 3-year-old son. "I feel like I should punch the person who did this in the face."
Standing with her goddaughter, 43-year-old Risat Jabeen of Brooklyn, said she was shocked FEMA would find it inoffensive.
"Kids color for fun so these things shouldn't be in coloring books," she said. "So many people died that day."
Vanessa Bell, 38, of Bronx, said there's no way she'd let her 5-year-old daughter color in that book. "It just makes kids feel depressed," she said.
The concept of the book, however, wasn't to offend … it was to cope with tragedy.
The coloring book was dreamed up by the emergency response team in largely rural Freeborn County, Minn. – after it was ravaged by a tornado, said Rose Olmsted, a county official.
"It was developed to help children make some sense after a disaster," said Olmsted. "I have a letter from FEMA in 2003 applauding us for the coloring book."
I guess they've been passing these books out to kids since 2003 in the US and even in Australia.
It got me thinking though. Was FEMA really wrong for supporting such a coloring book? How about for pulling the book from its website? Are they trying to sweep 9/11 under the rug under the guise that "it's too soon" or "it's too tramatic" just like the news has done? I don't know.
What do you think? Take the poll on the top left of this site.

I used the KaleidaCam app to alter this photograph of a Stargazer Lily. I love the patterns and colours that the app has created.
I've found a new app called KaleidaCam and I love it! You have the ability to take photos and also alter library shots with this app. I like the way you can turn the image with your finger on the screen to change the effect even more. I must admit I have spent ages playing with this app….. expect more images soon!

Alvaro Morata's return to Juventus has developed as the player himself is keen on returning to Turin.
The Spanish International was a Bianconeri regular from 2014 to 2016, however Real Madrid activated a buyback clause in the summer of 2016.
Morata spent a single season with Los Blancos before being sold to Chelsea, unfortunately he has failed to settle in London due to him playing with an ongoing injury.
Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Morata's Agent has been in discussions with the Old Lady for the past two weeks and that the player wants to return to Turin.
Chelsea have failed to qualify for next seasons Champions League and the club will be tempted to sell Morata for this reason alone.
The Blues spent €75 Million on Morata and are expected sell him for no less than €60 Million. The Bianconeri are unwilling to spend such a high figure on the Spanish International so the club are planning an expensive loan deal instead worth €50 Million.
Although it'll be difficult to persuade Chelsea, Morata's desire to leave the club and return to Juventus could see a deal go ahead.
Morata has scored 15 goals in 47 appearances for Chelsea in all competitions this season.

Weekend Reading - April 13, 2014
I've been busy this weekend...I just put down a deposit for new bamboo floors to be installed upstairs and on half the downstairs, finally achieving my goal of getting rid of all the carpet in this house. They are scheduled to go in right after Easter, so my new goal is to paint as much of the upstairs as possible (at a minimum all the baseboards). Jason and I started painting Jason's room back in October and it has been sitting in that half-painted, things pulled out from the walls state since then while too many other things have taken priority. It has been bugging me, but it has been a lesson in realizing that things get done when they need to get done so it is better to just trust the process and not worry so much over it.
Kyle is off to the Bahamas with his Dad for 10 days (Jason choose to stay home since he would have had to miss two classes of his Western Civ course he is taking at Northern Virginia Community College). The timing could not have worked out better, since Jason is mostly working independently at this point which frees me up this week to focus on getting the house ready for the new floors. Gotta love the serendipity (although I am finding it very weird to only have one kid and am definitely missing having him around).
Here are a few links that I have been posting to Facebook that I thought might be fun to capture here as well.
A couple of things that brought a smile to my face:
A Photographic Tour Of America's Public Libraries - Combining two of my favorites...photography and libraries.
Three Little Birds Typography Word Art Sign - Kristi is a local typography artist (in Leesburg, VA) and I love her signs. I just picked this one up for my bedroom.
Some things to remind me to breathe:
How to End the Endless Game of Catching Up - A good reminder in many ways.
Our Crazy College Crossroads - As someone who is doing her best to keep the getting into college craziness at bay (hard even as a homeschooler sometimes) and as someone who thankfully did not get into her "top choice" college, this article was a breath of fresh air.
And some links to expand my mind:
Stephen Colbert Interviews Neil deGrasse Tyson - While this interview is long, it is thoroughly enjoyable. I love listening to people who are obviously passionate about what they are talking about. Well worth the listen.
Think You Know How To Cook Eggs? Chances Are You're Doing It Wrong - Looks like the perfect book for Jason to check out. He's been giving me very helpful pointers on making scrambled eggs (he refuses to eat mine, and yes, his are much better).
Happy reading!

What is PPSR and How does it Work?
- Car Advice, PPSR,
- Oct 18, 2017
Everything you should know about PPSR…
The Australian Financial Security Authority, or ASFA, is an executive agency under the Attorney General's portfolio. This government agency is responsible for the administration and regulation of the:
- Personal liquidation systems
- Criminal proceedings
- Trustee services
In addition to these, one of the major responsibilities of ASFA is the administration of the Personal Property Securities Register, also known as PPSR.
What is the PPSR?
The Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) came into effect in January 2012. It was a consolidation of several registers to provide Australians with one comprehensive database of security interests registered as required under the Personal Property Securities ACT. Since then, millions of searches and security interest registrations are done by Australians annually.
The PPSR is, therefore, the one and only Australian register where you can search and/or register details of security interests in personal property. It is the national online notice board that allows you to:
- register your own security interest in a specific personal property to outline the debt or accrued obligation that someone owes to you. It allows you to show prospective buyers, liquidators, or other creditors that you are owed for this particular 'property'.
- check and find out if someone has already registered an interest for the personal property you might want to buy or lease.
Talking about personal property, PPSR also works for protecting the consumer. Because of the nature of the database, it is used by both creditors and consumers during certain transactions, especially used car sales for consumers. It provides information in case of a transaction of personal properties like cars, boats or valuable artworks, not inclusive of land and/or buildings.
When you do a PPSR check before purchasing something, you can find out if that particular personal property has a security interest attached to it or not. Some of you might consider this as not important but it is extremely critical to know.
The property may be subject to security interest. Therefore, the possibility lies that the person or any said entity with the security interest will retake possession of it should the original buyer defaults on payments. That means you will lose the vehicle because the original seller had registered their interest on the PPSR database.
For a small fee, you can easily perform a search that will provide you with a PPSR search certificate. This certificate will give you the information that could have prevented issues in the future.
Why use PPSR and how it works
PPSR is an online notice board or register that offers excellent risk protection to both individuals and businesses. It is an essential tool to help you protect your assets.
These are the ways that you can use the register to protect yourself and your property.
1. Taking it in – finding security interest registered information
A simple search on the register board tells you whether the goods that you want to buy is being used as security for debts or other obligations. The register does not disclose the exact monetary value of the debt, but it gives you sufficient information such as who owns the registered obligation. You can then use this information to find out more about the items you were about to buy.
For instance, if someone tries sell you a used van without advising you that they still owe financing on it to someone else, they could eventually stop the payment process midway their loan payment period. If this should happen, you can rest assured that the financial institution or individual that is owed will seek to get back the asset used in the loan. If that secured interest was registered on the PPSR, the law provides a process for them to reclaim the assets to cover the outstanding debt.
So, it is highly likely that the next day – or maybe a couple days after – you will have authorities as well as the owner of the obligation on the van at the entrance of your home, ready to take away the van. And they will be able to do this without having to pay you a single cent for the loss you now suffer.
This is because as a consumer, you have a duty to do your own due diligence before making a purchase. And the government has given you an easy tool which you can access through Quick Revs to get the information you need to decide whether a risk is worth taking for buying that van.
It is, therefore, much better to pay a small fee now, conduct a cheap PPSR search and find out if the item you are about to buy is free of debt financing from any firm and safe from repossession.
2. Handing it over – securing your interest for your protection
This is the reverse procedure to buying the goods and which is done by the seller or lessor, not the buyer or lessee.
This part is also simple enough. This is where you as a seller create a registration on PPSR that shows searchers that you are declaring an interest in a particular good or an asset.
To register those goods and assets, they would have to be commodities you will be selling on:
- Retention of title clause
- Or that you have mutually agreed with someone else to sell those goods as your representative.
This interest would ultimately mean that the goods and assets are now the security for the debt that someone owes to you. So, the registration would provide protection of your interest in the commodities in case the client defaults or goes broke.
3. Charter of Goods:
If you are about to lease, rent or put up a hiring arrangement for the following time periods then registering on the PPSR would also apply to you:
- At least one year
- Would maybe last for more than one year
- An indefinite time period
Making a registration on PPSR would help you secure your interest in your valuables when they are not under your direct possession. This will help you protect your items should there be liquidation or other proceedings if your buyer or lessee goes broke or defaults on your payment arrangement.
If your debt is registered first, it means you get first preference under the laws for the recovery of the items.
The Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) is available and easily accessible by Australians across the country. Because it's an online database that is constantly being updated, you can access it at any point during the day, seven days a week.
Just in case you are planning to buy a used car privately, then you should conduct a PPSR check to see if there is financing or money owing involving the car as well as to get other crucial data on the car itself (write-off history or stolen status).
The AFSA recommends that you do a search as close as possible to the time you plan to buy – like the night before you make your payment. This will prevent any other debts from being registered on the vehicle since you and the buyer started discussing the sale.
All about importing vehicle into Australia.
If your search results show that there is a debt registered on the PPSR platform for the car you are buying, and you still choose to buy or lease the vehicle you will be at fault. If the seller stops his payments, you will have the financing company – maybe along with the authorities – at your house ready to repossess that vehicle you just bought.
Fees for doing a PPSR search
We are sure by now that you know that free REVS checks are a thing of the past. Instead, through the PPSR (Fees) Determination 2015, created under subsection 190(1) of the Personal Securities Act 2009 by the Attorney-General, the Australian Government has instituted a paid system for recovering information under the PPSR. It got registered on the Federal Register of Legislative Instruments on 13th May 2015.
But, searching the register and getting an easy to read PPSR report does not have to be expensive. With an amount of just $5.99 you can conduct an easy, effective and cheap PPSR check before buying a car or even any other personal property allowed on the register. This small fee would save you a lot more in the long run.
So, now that you know more about what the PPSR is, what it does, and how it works, it's time to make it work for you. If you are planning to buy, lease, rent, or sell a car, you should obtain a PPSR Check from to get the peace of mind that comes from knowing that you are making a good decision.

Today is Flag Day! The day that we, in the land of the free and home of the brave, celebrate the "Stars and Stripes" as the official symbol of the United States of America. Congress authorized our flag on Saturday June 14, 1777. The entry for that day reads, "Resolved that the flag of the thirteen United States be Thirteen stripes alternate red and white: that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation."
The tradition of "Flag Day" actually started with a young teacher in Waubeka, Wisconsin (On Wisconsin!) in 1885. As June 14th was the flags birthday, he asked his students to write an essay on what the flag meant to them and the celebration grew from there.
I love the flag. The way it waves in the wind. I like how the flag symbolizes so many things. When I see a flag flying at half-staff my first reaction is to research and quietly pay my respects to the fallen.
I love that our flag is a symbol of a country that has struggled and endured. That shows we are grand yet fallible.
I love that we live in a country that the flag symbolizes hope. Hope that while we are going through the wringer we will come out good in the end. Hope that, while we are not perfect, we do strive to do the right thing.
I love that we live in a country where we can use our flag to symbolize triumph and protest. Where we are not demanded to show our allegiance. We can choose to raise that flag and scream from the mountaintops "I am American!" Or we can choose to tuck our symbols away.
When I was at Girl Scout camp, the highest honor you could get was to be part of the flag ceremony. Either the morning ceremony to raise the flag or the evening ceremony to retire the flag. I can't listen to taps without getting a tear in my eye. One of my most treasured memories, and most honored moments in my life, was to be part of the flag ceremony at the American Cemetery in Normandy. At 5:00 pm every day taps plays while the two flags are taken down and folded in a solemn ceremony. Andrew and I were honored to be able to take part when we were visiting in 2012.
Yes, I did get choked up when hearing Taps. I always will.
