VET and VET educators : understanding teacher dilemmas in providing quality educational experience to international students in Brisbane

In the past fifteen years, increasing attention has been given to the role of Vocational Education and Training (VET) in attracting large numbers of international students and its contribution to the economic development of Australia. This trend has given rise to many challenges in vocational education, especially with regard to providing quality education that ensures international students' stay in Australia is a satisfactory experience. Teachers are key stakeholders in international education and share responsibility for ensuring international students gain quality learning experiences and positive outcomes. However, the challenges and needs of these teachers are generally not well understood. Therefore, this paper draws on the dilemmas faced by teachers of international students associated with professional, personal, ethical and educational aspects.
This paper reports on a Masters Research project that is designed to investigate the dilemmas that teachers of international students face in VET in Australia, particularly in Brisbane. This study uses a qualitative approach within the interpretive constructivist paradigm to gain real-life insights through responsive interviewing and inductive data analysis. While the data collection has been done, the analysis of data is in progress. Responsive interviews with teachers of VET with different academic and national backgrounds, ages, industry experience have identified particular understandings, ideologies and representations of what it means to be a teacher in today's multicultural VET environment; provoking both resistances and new pedagogical understanding of teacher dilemmas and their work environment through the eyes of teachers of international students.
The paper considers the challenges for the VET practitioners within the VET system while reflecting on the theme for the 2011 AVETRA conference, "Research in VET: Janus- Reflecting Back, Projecting Forward" by focusing particularly on "Rethinking pedagogies and pathways in VET work through the voice of VET workers".

We're working fewer hours than 25 years ago, thanks to part-timers
Page Tools
If you think you're getting swamped by a rising tide of working hours, think again. In 1979 Australians were putting in nearly two hours more a week, and conditions have only improved since.
However, Australia is still one of the hardest-working countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, according to its latest employment outlook covering full-time and part-time workers shows.
Australians work an average of about 1814 hours each year, or almost 38 hours a week, making it the sixth-most industrious of the 30 OECD countries after Korea, the Czech and Slovak Republics, Greece and Mexico. Norway comes in last with an average working week of 28 hours - 22 hours less than Korea.
However, Australia has the second-highest proportion of part-time workers - 27.9 per cent of the work force - which is likely to lower average hours.
Associate Professor Richard Hall, from the University of Sydney's Australian Centre for Industrial Relations Research and Training, said there was an obvious need for greater flexibility in work arrangements."Despite the human resources literature saying we should work smarter and not harder, we're still working harder," he said.
"There are health and safety issues obviously associated with that. It's ironic that a government bleating about family values presides over an industry with such long work hours.
Roger Wilkins, of the Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research at the University of Melbourne, said Australia's sixth-placed ranking seemed surprisingly high given there were so many part-time workers.

This is a tag that I did for my little sister who is into the whole Rockabilly scene. I used Julie Nutting doll stamp and added a little to her look. The hair is one thing but also added cap sleeves. I also sort of drew tattoos on her arm as that is what is part of the Rockabilly look as well as my sister. Its different and took me a while to come up with the design.

text: By- Dr. Anthony Ng"It is no big deal.†This is often a statement that one may hear when one tells a friend or family member who drinks too much on occasions. This drinking excessively is known as Binge Drinking. Binge drinking is essentially defined as four or more drinks for women and five or more for men over a period of few hours. However, drinking in such excessive amount can be a big deal. In fact, according to a new data from the Center for Disease Control (CDC), a survey of more than 450,000 adults showed adults in the United States binge drink more frequently than previously suspected and they consume more drinks when they do. The CDC data also showed that more than 38 million U.S. adults binge drink an average of four times a month and the most drinks they consume on average is eight. Binge drinking is more common among young adults ages 18–34 and of those ages 65 and older who report binge drinking, they do so more often – an average of five to six times a month. Binge drinking is more common among populations in the northern states, those with household incomes of $75,000 or more, but the largest number of drinks consumed per occasion is significantly higher among binge drinkers with household incomes of less than $25,000 – an average of eight to nine drinks, the report said. In Maine, about one in five binge drinks, as compared to one in six nationally. Mainers drink an average of eight alcoholic drinks when they binge drink. It is suspected that much of this data may be an underestimate.The occasional heavy drinking as some may characterize binge drinking is widely accepted, especially in youth population. It is part of youth passage into adulthood as some perceive it. There may also be stigma attached to binge drinking which deters someone from seeking help. There may also be concerns about legal consequences, especially when underage teens are involved. However, alcohol is still among one of the most common drug of choice to abuse. People who binge drink may not be dependent or alcoholics but binge drinking can lead to a variety of public health concerns. When individual binge drink, they often become impaired and with that impairment, bad choices are made. Such choices may include driving while intoxicated, engaging in unsafe sex, risk taking behaviors resulting in injuries or deaths. Drinking too much, including binge drinking, causes more than 80,000 deaths in the United States each year, making it the third leading preventable cause of death, and was responsible for more than $223.5 billion in economic costs in 2006. Over half of these deaths result from injuries that disproportionately involve young people. The most important intervention to binge drinking is education. Communities, and in particular vulnerable populations such as teens and college age adults, are a prime target for such education. People should be informed of the potential for binge drinking and its consequences. Such education can also help empower individuals who are what is called bystanders, parents, teachers, peers, who can help remind individuals who may binge drink. For the individual who binge drinks, they should seek help if they find that their frequency or the amount of alcohol consumes are increasing. They have increased difficulties with school or work because of their drinking. Their moods are altered significantly, with possible depression, mood irritability and anxiety. Help should also be obtained when relationships with friends, families and coworkers become strained because of their drinking. A great resource for individuals is Alcoholic Anonymous. Professional substance abuse counseling may be helpful and in some instances, medication may be helpful to stop binge drinking behavior. So in response to the person who says it is no big deal when they binge drink, you can now tell them that binge drinking IS a big deal.References:CDC Fact Sheets.

By Declan Taylor
Arsène Wenger believes that the Carling Cup serves two crucial purposes in the honing of young Arsenal talent.
The Club's youth philosophy has added new life to a competition that has recently fallen out of favour with England's biggest clubs. A 6-0 hammering of Sheffield United and a consummate 3-0 victory over Wigan Athletic illuminated previous rounds as well as propelling the Arsenal youngsters into the national spotlight.
Wenger believes that as well as providing his players with vital senior experience, the Carling Cup is the first opportunity for him to assess a player's first-team credentials.
"The Carling Cup is the first real competition test," said the manager ahead of Tuesday's encounter with Burnley. "You may know that the player is good in the youth teams and training but then it is about how he performs on the big stage, with that pressure and on television. When every fight for the ball is hard, that is when you see if yes he can make it or no, he doesn't have a big chance.
"The players who play in the Carling Cup know that they can play at any minute in the Premier League. For me I don't make a big difference I just use this competition to give those players that I believe have the potential to play in the Premier League but need experience."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

SIGNOFF; Wasn't Susan Lucci in Seattle, Too?
Published: September 3, 1995
Erica Kane was busy this summer: becoming addicted to pain killers, doing her television talk show ("The Cutting Edge"), visiting her daughter Bianca and working at her marriage to Dmitri, lest it end the way her first six did. She hardly had time for a vacation. But Susan Lucci did.
Ms. Lucci, who has played Erica on ABC's "All My Children" for 25 years, got away to her house in the Hamptons in early August. Meanwhile, Erica was visiting Bianca in Seattle.
"We always try to find something that fits in with the current story line,"said Agnes Nixon, the show's creator and longtime head writer. "Erica went off on a public appearance tour recently for her talk show. It was referred to, and we taped a couple of phone conversations before she left. Erica also had a nervous breakdown once and went off for a sort of rest cure."
When a film ends, movie actors can take it easy, sleep late and enjoy being between pictures. Actors on prime-time television series go on hiatus for months. But soap operas, or daytime dramas, are on the air with new scripts 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year: no breaks, no reruns. What do those actors do about vacations?
Stars can negotiate their own personal contracts, but most contract players get the same vacation allotment as many other working people cross the country, which, according to the American Federation of Television and Radio Artist, is two to three weeks and four holidays a year.
How is this time away managed? Like Ms. Lucci, other soap opera characters are often temporarily written out. And that can be a challenge for the writers.
"It's constantly a juggling act," said Juliet Law Packer, one of two head writers of CBS 'As the World Turns."
One of that show's cast members, Larry Bryggman, spent August in the New England countryside. That was possible because his character, Dr. John Dixon, had just lost a malpractice case and was so devastated that he went away to visit his son. He needed some time to think. "Other characters got postcards from him," Ms Packer points out. "You don't want the audience to worry too much."
But there are complications. When Dr. Dixon returns to the fictional town of Oakland, he expects to see his daughter and his two ex-wives there. Trouble is, those actresses would like vacation time themselves.
Anna Stuart, who plays Donna Love Hudson, the wealthy busnesswoman on NBC's "Another World,", spent two and a half weeks this summer on what she calls "the Southern tour," visiting relatives from North Carolina to Florida. While she was enjoying the beaches, her character was purportedly in New York buying a wedding dress.
For two and a half weeks? Does a woman with Donna's complicated life have time like that?
"I'm praying that they will write something into the script explaining that," said Ms. Stuart, a few days before her departure, "and the fact that I'm not taking Matthew." Matthew is her character's considerably younger fiance.
Finding new reason for people to disappear is part of a soap writer's job. "One of the most common is relatives that have moved away and there's a problem they have to go and help with," Ms. Parker said. "Doctors go to conferences. Politicians and lawyers go to the state capital. Next year I know we will send people to the Olympics."
Ms. Parker added: "Sometimes you want to have a character do something zany, to say, "I'm going to go off to ride a camel." Or a moose. But the audience feels cheated that they can't go along for the ride. The trouble is, you can't get a moose into a studio."

Monkey exorcists by the hundreds! I'll be chewing up the Sontag with apres-diner, um (glances around) apples and pipes. Thanx 4 the linx – good to get around a bit away from one's own beaten trax.
Thanks SO much. Some of the most interesting thought pieces offered hereabouts in months.
The Sontag piece is a gem. Her rare ability to "think." And a potent reminder of what Bergman was doing in 'The Silence' — both manipulation, and the reach for what is beynd language. What the spirit wants to hold and say and cannot. Also useful and memorable to me is, this quote :" the efficacious art work leaves silence in its wake." This puts the lie to works that babble and leave babble in their wake. what a huge difference.
Again, many thanks for these.

Big bird built for pecking
Post-concussion syndrome not a concern for the head-banging pileated woodpecker
Wednesday, Jan 22, 2014 06:00 am
Pileated woodpecker
Dryocopus pileatus.
Crow-sized woodpecker with a black body, big long beak, white-streaked face and a huge red crest.
Commonly seen:
Hacking away at a tree in a big forest, searching for ants.
Occasionally confused with:
Crows, which lack the white patches under their wings.
Fun fact:
The word dryocopus comes from the Greek words for tree (drys) and cleaver (kopis). Pileatus is Latin for crested.

Redus Family Rips UIW Over Lawsuit Response
The family of University of the Incarnate Word student Cameron Redus says students at UIW should 'fear for their own safety' in response to the University's 'disturbing' response to the wrongful death lawsuit the family filed against the University, 1200 WOAI news reports.
Redus, 23, was shot five times by a UIW police officer in December, after the officer followed him down Broadway to his apartment in Alamo Heights after noticing him driving erratically.
In the University's response to the lawsuit, UIW lawyers said Redus was the 'aggressor' in the confrontation. The University says Officer Christopher Carter attempted to back off, but Redus, who was in a 'drunken rage,' beat the officer with his police baton, kicked him, and attempted to head butt him.
The Redus family says UIW's comments 'should strike fear into the hearts of UIW students.'
"Perhaps most disturbing is UIW's 'blame the victim' response," the family statement said. "Let's not forget that Chris Carter followed Cameron to his apartment in a different city than UIW jurisdiction and within feet of his front door shot 5 bullets into Cameron, at least two at point blank range while he was unarmed and a danger to no one."
The Family says UIW is also 'denying' the Medical Examiner's autopsy, which indicates that at least one of the shots was fired when Cameron was on his knees, and one struck him in the back.
"The circumstances of Cameron's death should at the very least demonstrate the need for changes on the part of the University, so that this tragedy can never happen again," the family said.

/// Start-Up SalesCrunch Makes Unsolicited Bid for Cisco Unit WebEx
For months, the rumor mills have whispered here and there about WebEx, the remote-meeting service owned by the networking giant Cisco Systems. As that company has gone through numerous contortions, shedding jobs and business units, WebEx has stood out as another acquisition that might find itself on the chopping block. I made the case myself last year about why Cisco might kill or sell WebEx, only to be told in no uncertain terms that Cisco didn't see it that way . Collaboration is still a big part of Cisco's strategy, because it fits with enterprise video. And yet the rumors about WebEx being shopped around persist. So today, a bold offer emerged from a start-up called SalesCrunch to buy WebEx for $1 and 15 percent of the equity in the company. The plan is to transition WebEx's entire customer base to a new platform, kill off the old one, and move on. It may seem a trivial offer, but it's not, though there's a good argument to be made that it's a publicity stunt meant to get a lot of attention. SalesCrunch is backed by Accel Partners, First Round Capital, NextView Ventures and AOL Ventures. It's essentially a new, more flexible, fully thought-out competitor to WebEx, one that poses a fair competitive threat. SalesCrunch is more social than WebEx, and tells you more about how engaged the parties attending a meeting actually are, or whether they're zoning out and checking their email. But why offer to buy it? SalesCrunch CEO Sean Black told me that the plan is to grab Cisco's WebEx assets, including its engineering teams, and put them to work on building out SalesCrunch. WebEx isn't a core business to Cisco, Black says, and is in many ways comparable to the Flip camera business that Cisco infamously killed last year. "Cisco admitted that it's in a lot of businesses that it shouldn't be in. There's been a lot of outcry from shareholders that it should stick to the business of selling routers and switches," he told me. "WebEx is really the first online meeting application. It is literally as old as the Internet itself

|Primary Completion Date:
|June 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
cirrhotic patients
cardiopulmonary exercise testing
Other: cardiopulmonary exercise testing
3 minute step test compared to 6 minute bicycle test
Detailed Description:
Subjects: 10 patients ≥40 years of age with cirrhotic end-stage liver disease undergoing liver transplantation evaluation at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN. Patients who require multi-organ transplant, or who have non-cirrhotic liver disease (neuroendocrine, amyloidosis, etc.) will be excluded. Each subject will undergo both standard CPET and modified 3 minute step test.
Exercise testing. Subjects will perform both tests during one visit to the cardiopulmonary research lab. A 30-60 minute period between tests will given. 5 patients will perform submaximal stress testing first and 5 will perform the full CPET first.
CPET: Patients will perform a 6 minute cardiopulmonary exercise test using the recumbent stationary bicycle facilitated by the co-investigators at the St Mary's cardiopulmonary exercise laboratory. Standard 12-lead electrocardiograms will be obtained at rest, each minute during exercise, and for at least five minutes during the recovery phase; blood pressure will be measured using a standard cuff sphygmomanometer. Minute ventilation (VE), breathing frequency (fR), tidal volume (VT), oxygen consumption (VO2), CO2 production (VCO2), RER, and end-tidal CO2 (PETCO2) will be obtained breath-by-breath and averaged over a 30-second period at rest and the last 30 seconds of each minute during exercise. In addition, heart rate (HR) and oxygen saturation (SaO2) will be obtained continuously using pulse oximetry. From these data, derived variables such as the VE/VCO2 ratio, oxygen pulse (VO2/HR) and an index of pulmonary capacitance (O2 pulse /[1/PETCO2]) are calculated at rest and during exercise. Ventilatory efficiency slopes (VE/VCO2 slope) [VE liter/min _ m (VCO2, liter/min) _ b], where m _ VE/VCO2 slope, and oxygen uptake efficiency slopes (OUES) [VO2, liter/min _ m (log10VE) _ b], where m _ OUES, are calculated using all exercise data points via least squares linear regression.
Modified 3 minute step test: Each participant will perform a sub-maximal exercise test that consists of 2 minutes of resting baseline, 3 minutes of step exercise, and 1 minute of recovery. Breathing pattern, gas exchange (as described above), and heart rate will be monitored using a simplified gas analysis system (SHAPE Medical Systems, Inc, St. Paul, MN). Submaximal testing will be defined by respiratory exchange ratio (RER), and perceived exertion (RPE). An exercise RER of 0.9 and RPE of 12 to 13 on the Borg scale (range, 6 to 20) is considered to be a sub-maximal level. At the end of the first & second minute of step exercise, RER and RPE will be recorded and the step rate adjusted (a patient with a low RER (< 0.8) and RPE (< 8) would increase the step rate for the second minute, whereas a patient with a higher RER (> 0.85) and RPE (> 11) would maintain the same step rate). On completion of the 3-minute step exercise, recovery data will be collected for 1 minute.

Seed of Love,
Miracle of Hope,
Happily Ever After.
It's been five days,
It's felt like one,
Time is running,
We're almost done…
Shine Bright:
The world needs you.
Shine Long:
There is so much to experience
Shine Strong:
Don't let anyone dim your light.
Room to breathe,
Space to explore,
Finally relief,
Words galore!
Another day of many directions,
Pulled here,
Pulled there,
Trying to catch my breath
In the moments of forced pause,
Always too much to do.
While I'm at it,
let me say,
this is my third post,
does that count as "per day"?!
In the silence that speaks volumes,
I wait in anticipation,
For the flame that brings the light,
Of new life.

The world's longest-running experiments remind us that science is a marathon, not a sprint. Although science is a long-term pursuit, research is often practised over short timescales: a discrete experiment or a self-contained project constrained by the length of a funding cycle. But some investigations cannot be rushed. To study human lifespans or the roiling of Earth's crust and the Sun's surface, for instance, requires decades and even centuries.

Excellent Base for Family Holiday – Loved it!!
The bungalow is a very good size and has 4 bedrooms (3 are doubles and one is a twin). A good sized kitchen with a dishwasher and washing machine and a full sized fridge freezer – all good for a family as we used all of these things!
The lady next door (who looks after the house) was very helpful. When we had a birthday party for my daughter with the 4 kids and we realised we didn't have a lighter to light the candles on the cake she lent me some matches. Also on the second day I said the house was so warm (due to the fact it was gorgeous weather when we were away) and she give us some sheets we could use as opposed to the duvets. I used them every evening.
I would definitely come back here again as we did have a great time. I would say that it could do with some black out curtains as its so light so the kids all woke up very early (around 5.30am every morning).
Thank you very much for your review and also bringing to my attention the curtains, I will see what can be done when I am next there.
Kind regards
About the Owner
About Steve Lakidis
I live in Australia and have my own business managing and promoting holiday resorts all over the country, I'm married with 2 grown up sons both married, one with 2 children.
Steve Lakidis purchased this bungalow in 2004
Why Steve Lakidis chose Guildford
My wife grew up in Guildford so we come back to the UK often so we needed a home away from home.
So that the property would not be empty in between our visits we decided to let it as holiday accommodation. We hope any visitors will find it as comfortable and homely as we do.

Excellent Base for Family Holiday – Loved it!!
We booked this for 2 families of 4 and it worked really well for us. :-) We went to Legoland twice which was about 35 minutes away on an easy drivable route. We went to Chessington once 20 mins away and again, very easy journey). We did a day trip to London and the train took 33 minutes (we did take a fast train).

Very nice accommodation, perfectly located
This Bungalow offers much space and is fully and well equipped. Furniture is comfortable and very well kept. Available WLAN access makes short term tour planning easy.
From here you can easily reach Central London by train, as well as the south coast or other nice destinations. The city of Guildford is a nice place to be and a place with beautiful surroundings (North Downs). A perfect contrast after a visit in London.
The lady that gave us a warm welcome (and the keys) was very nice and always was available for questions, if needed.
We enjoyed our stay very much and sadly left the place when we needed to return home. I would surely press the "like" button several times if there were any. I warmly recommend this place.
Great Property
This is a wonderful property. I have just returned from 6 weeks here. I could live there. The location is great 15 minute walk to Town Centre and 20 to Mainline station.(London 35 minutes ). Bus stop outside door.
It has everythng you need for a wonderful stay in this lovely old town with its cobbled High Street.The property was very clean on arrival .Lovely comfy beds, very well equipped kitchen. Garden with Barbeque( too cold for that).
Lots of information on what to do, dining etc. If Indian food is your thing then you must ry the local restaurant. Red Rose(5 minute walk) .Do book as it gets very busy. They also do take away. Lots of lovely old pubs in this area. Call a cab so you can enjoy the local ales. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property.
A real pleasant surprise :)
I hired this house for my new in laws to use as a base before our wedding day. This is a gem of a bungalow style property with loft conversion, and is beautifully equipped and furnished - it really does look the way it does in the photos. The lady who looks after the property on behalf of the landlord was really friendly and kind, and was not intrusive at all especially considering she lives next door. The landlord is based in Australia, so when you contact him bear this mind as he can't give an instant response due to the time differences. This is also a shame as I can't thank him in person!
Really lovely dorma bungalow, decorated and furnished to a luxury standard. The bed were very comfortable, accomodation was spacious and warm. The children loved the hugh television made watching there fav films like being at a cinema. Would certainly love to come again for a longer visit. The owner was very helpful and obliging us in our recent bevereament allowing us to have this charming bungalow for a long weekend to attend funeral. Picture doesnt show annex attached where the very nice keyholder lives. This gaves us no problems or concerns on the one meeting she was very poilte and helpful the rest of the time we didnt see or hear he. Situated on quite a busy road but set well back, cant say the traffic gave us any real concerns slept well....in the lovely comfy beds. Would certainly have no problems recommending this property to anyone. Thanks for a pleasant surroundings to stay in at our sad time.
A great place to stay - keep it a secret!
This was just perfect in virutally every way. Warm, really comfy beds, lots of space, a great kitchen and a HUGE telly! The applicances in the kitchen are high spec and work well. The whole house smelled newly repainted and it was lovely and clean. We had a great time - thanks SO much.
Just a couple of really tiny niggles - could you put a key to the windows somewhere - for fresh air and in case of fire etc. Also it would have been even more delightful if the fireplace had been an open one so we could have had a small fire - ahh bliss!
However this was a great place to stay - so take it from us - if you are looking for a no nonsense place in Guildford - stay here! We will come back - if allowed after writing this review!

Our daughter in New Jersey hasn't seen her yard for months because it's covered with snow. Our son in North Carolina finished raking leaves a while back just in time to get out the overcoats in preparation for the frigid weather ahead.
My wife Cynthia and I, we're weather junkies, who like the climate to be perfect…not too hot and not too cold…
The thermometer was already getting close to 100 degrees when we left Las Vegas for Cuenca, Ecuador almost five years ago. We'd had enough of that scorching heat—as well as the humidity and chilly winters in the southeast where we previously lived…
Besides the attractive cost of living, the mild climate of Cuenca was one of our major reasons for moving here. We wake up every day with no threat of natural disasters or thoughts about wildly fluctuating temperatures. The temperatures in Cuenca range from average highs of 70 F to lows of 50 F. Relative humidity is usually around 75%. Rainfall amounts to 2 ½ inches per month. Please remember these are averages. Within any given period of time a lot of something can be happening—clouds and coolness or sun and warmth.
When you're home in front of your computer dreaming of escaping to an ideal climate you don't conjure up images of shoveling snow or sweating bullets. No, you picture "perfection." You tune out getting soaked in a downpour and getting bit by mosquitoes.
In truth the spring season from beginning to end often manifests all sorts of volatile, unpredictable weather patterns. And so does Cuenca. On a daily basis. A joke among locals is, "If you don't like Cuenca's weather, just wait an hour."
What's a "typical" day like? You may wake up to overcast skies and chilly temps. By mid-morning the sky is partly cloudy and sunny.
Out of nowhere a storm blows in. An hour later it's sunny again. In late afternoon you're cold. At night the air is noticeably warmer and you stroll around downtown in a light sweater.
Homes in Cuenca have no heating or air conditioning. This is great news regarding your utility bills. But when, as sometimes happens, the skies remain overcast for days, your residence never gets a chance to warm up. During last "winter" (July and August for us) the temperature inside our apartment ranged from 64 F to 58 F for a two week period. That's pretty darned chilly.
We were uncomfortable, to say the least, as we moved a portable heater from room to room and cranked up our heated mattress pad each night before retiring. By donning extra layers we got through it, and yesterday I was sunbathing in a lounge chair outside.
I met an expat couple last week who were scouting Cuenca as a possible retirement destination. It was a somewhat chilly evening and the guy said, "I don't think this place is right for me. I need somewhere that's warmer."
I replied, "You can be warmer living an hour from here. But you'll have to contend with humidity and bugs. I prefer living in Cuenca and putting on a sweater when I need to."
"Huh, I hadn't thought of that," he admitted.
So, yes, Cuenca does in fact enjoy year-round spring-like weather. And, no, every day is not "perfect." But if you move here you won't find yourself dripping with perspiration, and you can leave the snowshoes at home.

Alaska's Western Arctic
Our Work in Alaska: Protecting the National Petroleum Reserve
At almost 23 million acres, the National Petroleum Reserve–Alaska (the Reserve) is our country's largest contiguous piece of public land. Roughly equivalent in size to the state of Indiana and ten times the size of Yellowstone National Park, the Reserve is a vast, largely undeveloped landscape little known to those outside of Alaska. From towering peaks bordering Noatak National Preserve on the Reserve's southerly flanks to the complex and expansive coastal wetland on the Northern coast, the Reserve is the most biologically and culturally significant piece of public land without one acre of permanent protection. The Conservation Lands Foundation and our partners have been working to change that.
Though its size is impressive, its what's within the Reserve that makes it so special. The Western Arctic and Teshekpuk Lake caribou herds migrate, seek relief from insects and calve in the Reserve. At over 350,000 in number, the Western Arctic Herd is one of the three largest in North America. The Teshekpuk Lake Caribou herd is unique in that in some years roughly half of the herd winters north of the Brook's Range, weathering the brutally cold Arctic winters.
Other wildlife, including wolves, arctic fox, wolverines, musk oxen, beluga whales, spotted seals and one of the larger densities of Grizzly Bears in North America, also make the Reserve home. Millions of migratory birds and waterfowl spend time in the Reserve. The impressive flocks that number in some cases in the hundreds of thousands, breed, molt and build their strength in the Reserve before making their way south for the winter. These brave travelers utilize all four North American flyways and several international flyways and make their way as far as to the southern tip of Chile and to the islands of the south Pacific. Yet many start their life in the Reserve's complex of coastal wetlands, of which the Teshekpuk Lake Special Area forms the core.
The Alaska Native communities in the western Arctic have maintained a subsistence lifestyle for thousands of years based on the region's natural resources. The native Inupiat communities of the Arctic Slope have relied on the Reserve's native wildlife for food, culture and spiritual rejuvenation. Central to these subsistence needs are the Reserve's two caribou herds. While oil and gas activities have a place in the Reserve, the areas of highest conservation value must be kept off limits to development to protect this incredibly important human value.
In early 2013, the Obama Administration finalized the Final Integrated Activity Plan for the Reserve. This first-ever comprehensive management plan was announced after an almost three-yearprocess. The result is a plan the Conservation Lands Foundation, Alaska Natives, sportsmen, biologists and over 400,000 Americans believe is a balanced approach toward managing this globally significant landscape. Half of the Reserve will be available for oil and gas drilling, while the other half will be protected as five "Special Areas" totaling over 11 million acres. Protections for the Teshekpuk Lake, Peard Bay, Utukok Uplands, Kasegaluk Lagoon and Colville River Special Areas ensure that the most critical areas within the Reserve will be protected from oil and gas drilling and non-subsistence infrastructure. Moving forward, the Conservation Lands Foundation will continue to work with the Bureau of Land Management, Alaska's native community, sportsmen and other conservation groups to ensure the Reserve's wildlife and subsistence value are protected.

Quad Fins
The Quad setup is four fins, two on each side, the fronts are typically larger than the rears but this is not always the case. The rears are nearly always inboard and aft of the fronts. This setup is relatively stable and is often used to provide more lift, control and speed. Some say adding a fourth fin is like add a nitrous booster to your rig. Perfect for performing speedy manuvers and great for the trickster.

Chris Hughton has talked about new boy Leon Best today, and he's backing the 23 year-old Nottingham-born player to get his first goals for the Magpies soon.
Leon Best – wants his first goal
Leon could have scored against Cardiff City, on his debut, but missed a sitter from about 6 yards out, when he headed the ball wide.
But Chris Hughton is backing Best to score sooner rather than later – and hey, a good time would be tomorrow night against his old club.
Chris said today:
"When you come to a new club you want to make an impact or a contribution almost immediately,"
"Leon hasn't been able to get that goal I'm sure he would've liked but he'll be pleased to have played a big part in Saturday's draw."
"The goal wouldn't have been possible without his cross and it helped to secure what was a massive point for us."
"He can use that now as a boost to get his first goal and I'm sure that won't be too far away."
"He's a player we need to get closer to the goal because there's no doubt that when he's in the area he can finish."
"He arrived with ten goals already this season and he'll be desperate to add to that as soon as possible with us."
Best would love to score against his former club, and we think Hughton will give him a start up front alongside Andy Carroll tomorrow night.
Andy seems to be in very good form and scoring goals, which is good.
Leon had a more than decent game at Coventry on 9th December against Newcastle, when he had a couple of good efforts well saved by goalkeeper Steve Harper.
But Chris knew all about the player long before then, as he continued:
"Leon did well that night," "But he is a player we have known about for a long time and our opinion was not based on that one performance."
"He is a player we feel has a lot of potential, he is a good age at 23 and we feel he can improve in this environment at Newcastle."
The good thing about the January transfer window, when Best came in on the very last day, was that the Newcastle coaching and scouting staff really seemed to have done their homework, and had their targets lined up.
It even looked at times like we knew what we were doing during the transfer window, which came as a bit of a surprise. 😀
Yes, it wasn't possible to get the top two targets, Kilgallon and Beckford, but we seemed to have got in a few decent players.
If we can get promoted it's going to be very interesting to see who Chris goes after in the summer.
We will need some good players added to the squad, which may not yet be good enough for promotion, never mind surviving in the PL next season.
But first things first – and we need a win tomorrow night against Coventry City.
Comments welcome.

Detroit rookie TE Eric Ebron is yet another big, talented, pass catching weapon for the Lions offense.
As if opposing defenses didn't already have their hands full trying to keep the Lions in check.
Ebron looks destined to be one of the top rookie fantasy performers, but how much do you know about him?
5 Fun Facts about Eric Ebron:
1. He was born on April 10th, 1993, in Newark, New Jersey.
2. Eric attended Ben L. Smith High School in Greensboro, North Carolina. He played both tight end and defensive end. He had 28 receptions for 682 yards and 10 touchdowns on offense and 68 tackles and 13.5 sacks on defense.
3. Last season at the University of North Carolina, Ebron caught 62 passes for 973 yards and 3 TDs, and was a first-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference selection. He was also chosen as a finalist for the John Mackey Award, given to the nation's top tight end.
4. On the night before the NFL Draft, Ebron proposed to his girlfriend Brittany Rountree on the top of the Empire State Building. Rountree plays guard for the UNC women's basketball team and she said yes!
5. Eric will wear number 85 for the Lions, the same number he wore at UNC.

Taj Burrow works on his latest shark-dodging air at J-Bay
"If you see a shark, wave your hands in the air, point at the water and head in." That's the new rule added by ASP officials today following Mick Lowe's Round Two heat at the Billabong Pro Jeffrey's Bay. Lowe spotted a shark mid-way through his heat, but stayed in to complete the win. "It was no dolphin," said Lowe after the heat, "I know what my eyes saw. I didn't really care for the rest of the heat, I just wanted to come in."
Ironically, the first heat with the new rule featured world number three Taj Burrow, who had a similar shark sighting during the same event in 2003. "When the Beach Marshall gave me my singlet and told me to do that signal if I saw a shark," said Taj, "I was like 'what!' It was pretty freaky. I am glad I didn't have to put my hands in the air that heat."
Despite the shark-infested waters, Round Three saw world numero uno Mick Fanning continue his road to glory. "I thought I saw something actually," said Fanning. "There was only a minute to go, so I thought I might just man up and not say anything. Luckily for me it was nothing." With the likes of Kelly, Andy, Taj, Mick, and Parko still in the hunt, the Billabong Pro is already living up to its hype.
While the rule doesn't get into specifics, at this point shark sightings do not affect priority or allow for a Jet Ski assist. If you do see a shark during your heat, a big white man-eater with hunks of seal hanging off its blood-splattered jaw-bone… you know, wave your hands in the air and point to the water. How bad could a shark attack really be? Couldn't be worse than an early exit at J-Bay. Could it?

Manipulate knows the TrackedSymbols-Option, if you put in everything
that needs to be tracked except for f it will behave as you require:
fplot[f_] :=
Manipulate[Plot[f[x + a], {x, -2, 2}], {a, 0, 2},
TrackedSymbols :> {a}]
It will isolate in the sense that the Manipulate just doesn't realize it
is still using an old definition of f. I can't say whether that will
cause problems or will isolate the two definition in every situation but
for your example it seems to work...

Amazon has announced its Cyber Monday deals, with the online retailer cutting the 7-inch Amazon Kindle Fire HDX price by £30.
Formerly setting wannabe owners back an already reasonable £199, the enticing Cyber Monday deal has seen the 7-inch Amazon Kindle Fire HDX price dropped to just £169. The offer is available only for today, December 2.
"The new Fire tablets are the best tablets we've ever built — the reviews from press and the feedback from customers has been overwhelmingly positive," Jorrit Van der Meulen, Vice President of Amazon's Kindle EU division stated.
He added: "We're excited to be able to offer £30 off Kindle Fire HDX 7-inch for Cyber Monday."
As well as proving easier on consumers' wallets, the Amazon Kindle Fire HDX price cut sees the 7-inch Android tablet line up a full £150 cheaper than the rival Apple iPad mini 2.
Powered by a 2.2GHz quad-core processor, the 7-inch Amazon Kindle Fire HDX specs sheet is further enhanced by a 1920 x 1200 pixel Full HD display, 2GB of RAM and a claimed 11 hours battery life thanks to a sizeable 4500mAh Lithium-Ion power unit.
Although running Android Jelly Bean, the Kindle Fire HDX does not resemble the mass of Google filled tablets in any way, with the Amazon UI Fire 3.0 interface giving the Android innards a dramatic refresh.

text: I'm about ready to change the tires on my bike after 12,000 miles. So I've been looking at my book on how to do so. It says you need to either remove the rear fender (not looking forward to doing) or lift the bike high enough to get the tire out from under the bike. I like the latter better. But how high is it going to have to be? I dont think a motorcycle jack alone will do this but i have not tried yet. Could somone give some advice on how they do it please.

(9/15/2006) Mayor John DeStefano, Jr. has selected a new budget director for the City of New Haven who has experience both within New Haven city government and in the private sector, having advised and provided professional services to 75 state and local government agencies.
Lawrence D. Rusconi was a former controller and treasurer for the City of New Haven and has had a distinguished public service career, as both a practitioner and as an adviser to state and local governments as managing director of McGladrey & Pullen. He replaces longtime budget chief Frank Altieri and starts in the new post on October 2, 2006.
Mayor DeStefano said Rusconi is a stellar appointment. �Larry is a senior manager with extensive experience in public finance. He is well respected in financial circles and is known to us in New Haven city government. In recent years, Larry has been involved in managing several important city projects, including the regionalization of the Water Pollution Control Authority and in conducting the city�s annual audit. I am very confident that Larry will serve the City well and continue our track record of sound financial management.� (See attached for more on the closeout of the fiscal year)
Rusconi said, �I look forward to the opportunity to work with Mayor DeStefano and the City of New Haven. The Administration has established a culture of continuous improvement, and I am hopeful that my professional and management experience will allow me to make a positive contribution to enhance that culture.�
For the first time, the post of Budget Director is a staff position within the Mayor�s Office. In this post, Rusconi will be responsible for preparing and executing the annual operating and capital budget for the City. In FY 2006-07, he will oversee a total City budget of $646 million, including a general fund budget of $416 million, a capital projects budget of $128 million, and a special fund budget of $102 million. He will work closely with all city departments, but will have special responsibility for tax collections, assessments, purchasing employee benefits, risk management, workers� compensation, pensions, debt, information technology and labor relations.
Rusconi was and born and raised in New Haven, attended public schools in the City and graduated from the University of Connecticut, earning bachelor�s and master�s degrees in public finance. He has served over 30 years in the United States Air Force, including active duty during the Vietnam Conflict, and thereafter in CT Air National Guard (the �CTANG�); promoted to and retired as Brigadier General, USAF; served most recently as Chief-of-Staff and Commander of the CTANG.
Rusconi has retired after 23 years of experience as Partner and Managing Director at McGladrey & Pullen, LLP and RSM McGladrey, Inc., respectively. During that time he helped open, maintain and grow the New Haven office, as well as a public sector consulting and audit practice that is among the largest in the State. He was former Controller and Treasurer for the City of New Haven until 1983, when he left to pursue private practice.

As in previous years, Fortune Brainstorm Green did not disappoint. I had the opportunity to be a part of this event that brings together an incredible group of thought leaders, CEOs, environmentalists and others to discuss and collaborate on sustainable solutions for critical, global issues. We learned from executive leaders about driving sustainability in the business, from technical experts on how to advance sustainable solutions, and from individuals representing civil society on the importance of advancing programmes in this area. Since this meeting drew attendance from major players in sustainability, connections were made that enabled some of the most important work to be accomplished in casual, hallway conversations.
I felt that one of the more insightful comments of the meeting was made by Marc Gunther during his closing remarks. Gunther said that this year's meeting was missing one key person - the consumer. I could not have agreed more.
P&G is known as one of the world's experts in consumer research. Our research relative to sustainability shows only about 10 to 15% of people are passionate enough about sustainability that they are willing to accept some trade-off, like an increase in price or decrease in performance, in order to purchase a product that claims to be green or sustainable. However, most people, about 75 to 80%, want to do the right thing but are not willing to accept such trade-offs.
Finally, approximately 10% of people are not engaged in sustainability and have purchasing habits driven largely by value. This data has been consistent over time. In fact, P&G consumer research has generated similar results over several years for both developed and developing parts of the world. While many different companies target different segments, P&G has decided in order to make the most meaningful difference, we will focus our efforts on the majority of mainstream consumers. We do that by providing them products that enable them to live more sustainably without trade-offs. At Fortune-Brainstorm Green, P&G's CEO, Bob McDonald, talked about several of the products we developed for these consumers, including Tide Cold Water and Downy Single Rinse.
People everywhere play a critical role in sustainability on several levels. Some products are only sustainable if they're used in a certain way. A material is not recycled unless it's placed into the recycling stream. In order to advance sustainability in a meaningful way, we do need to better enable the people to live more sustainably. How do we best design products to meet their needs? How can we convince people to adopt more sustainable behaviors?
All these questions are to say that Marc raised a very good point, and I hope to see consumers on the Fortune-Brainstorm Green stage next year. After all, there is a limit to what a single company can do to advance sustainability. There is a limit to what a single industry or nation can do. However there is no limit to what 7 billion people can do.
Len Sauers, P&G's vice president of global sustainability.

David Hasselhoff
Hasselhoff issued his debut pop album, Night Rocker, in 1984, followed three years later by Lovin' Feelings; with 1989's Looking for Freedom, he began his collaboration with noted German producer/composer Jack White, scoring a major chart hit throughout much of Western Europe. That same year Hasselhoff starred as lifeguard Mitch Buchannon in the television series Baywatch, which in the decade to follow enjoyed unparalleled international success. While subsequent LPs including 1990's Crazy for You, 1993's You Are Everything, and 1997's Hooked on a Feeling continued selling briskly to his fanatical European audience, at home Hasselhoff remained known almost exclusively for his TV work, although in 1995 he saved a drowning child and aided in the rescue of a car crash victim.
Hasselhoff experienced a surge of popularity in the new millennium via a series of roles on reality TV shows. In 2006, he was hired as a judge for the first season of America's Got Talent, a position that helped push him back into the spotlight. Soon, he had a variety of stage and small-screen roles, culminating in a spot on season 11 of Dancing with the Stars and an A&E reality show with his daughters appropriately called The Hasselhoffs. He also revived his musical career, releasing A Real Good Feeling in Europe in 2011, followed by This Time Around in 2012. ~ Jason Ankeny
