To its clients, Metro Offices is a telecommunications provider. Telecom is among the services Metro Offices provides to more than 1,200 companies at nine locations in Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia. Those services range from office and meeting space and phone and Internet services to front desk receptionists and administrative services. They'll even pick up their clients' dry cleaning.
Trying a series of phone system providers brought Metro Offices nothing but challenges, said Director of IT Operations Elizabeth Langley. "We had a Nortel legacy system we kept putting Band-Aids on to get us through our contract," she said. "Then we switched to a Cisco system based on reputation of quality, which turned into an even bigger nightmare."
Complicating matters even further was the fact that many clients need office space for only a few months, so Metro Offices was having to make frequent changes to the phone system.
"Our clients could not leverage any of features, the user interface experience was poor, and on the back end it was very difficult to administer changes, add-ons, and any modifications because we are not Cisco-certified engineers."
"As we were searching for a new solution, it was critical that we find a system that included a user-friendly front-end interface for our clients and ease of management to administer changes. It needed to be feature-packed. Costs were also a big factor. Fonality met all of our needs," Langley said.
The front desk coordinator at each Metro Offices location has to answer the phone for about 200 different companies, each with their own unique needs and directions on how to manage their calls. "There is tremendous amount of pressure for us to answer the call quickly, effectively, batch the call, and be in tune with every single company's requirements."
With Fonality, call routing rules can be set to keep with the organization's expectation of 10 seconds. Otherwise calls are distributed to other centers.
Metro Offices chose a Fonality solution that linked together all nine of its locations together for more effective internal communications. Adding to or modifying the Fonality system was simple using the Web Admin panel, which doesn't require a certification to understand.
"The Fonality Heads Up Display has been invaluable to improving our communications across the entire company," said Bill Garnett, chief knowledge officer at Metro Offices.
"The ability to see if someone is available or on the phone, send them a quick instant message, and transfer calls easily through HUD is something we depend on daily. HUD centralizes all of the most frequently used communication tools like phone, voicemail, email, instant messaging, conference bridges and employee presence so you can see when colleagues are available, regardless of where their office location is."
"The most important thing we provide our clients is ubiquitous mobility. We want our clients to be able to connect with their clients and prospects anytime, anywhere in the world," said Garnett.
"The reality is that when our customers are evaluating us against our competitors, communications and telephony and IT infrastructure are important criteria." He said, "Our clients are huge fans of call routing and call forwarding, so they never miss calls. The voicemail to email is also a favorite feature, one we didn't have before." Whether clients are in the office or on the road, they have the ability with Fonality to communicate with the same capabilities."
Garnett said, "When we buy technology, it can't be a loss-leader. The phone has to be a profit center for us. That was difficult with the huge capital expenses of our previous systems. With Fonality, we've been able to prove the business case and get into a cost-recovery mode."
He added, "We've been very impressed by Fonality's responsiveness and quick resolution. That helps us respond to our customers and exceed their expectations, which is what we always try to do."
We're standing by to discuss how a unified approach to communications might help you improve productivity and customer service.

Great white shark attacks kayaker off California coast
A man kayaking off the Santa Barbara coast was attacked by a shark on Thursday and luckily got away unharmed.
Bret Jackson of Los Angeles told KSBY that he was a mile east of Stearns Wharf when the encounter happened.
"When I first saw the shark, it was about a foot from my face, grabbing on to the kayak," Jackson said. "It was about a foot away. Its nose was about a foot from my nose, biting on to the side (of my kayak) here and it drove me back, flipped me over."
After getting dislodged from his kayak, Jackson said that he quickly got onto the back of his damaged vessel and paddled it to a nearby dingy, where a boat later picked him up.
The kayak has a number of bite marks in it, as Jackson demonstrates in the video above.
He later told the LA Times that he was positive that the shark was a great white.
"It was a great white," Jackson said. "Gray on top, white on bottom, black eyes."
Santa Barbara Harbor Patrol measured the bite mark to be 16 inches, and officials are working with the California State Long Beach Shark Laboratory to confirm that the shark was a great white.
Shark warning signs have been posted at all Santa Barbara beaches for the next 48 hours.

General election: How do you campaign with a newborn?
She'll be "too busy changing nappies" were the words of one Conservative councillor about a pregnant politician hoping to be elected on 8 June.
In a Facebook post for which he later apologised, Jon Wright claimed that caring for a newborn would prevent one candidate, Labour's Catherine Atkinson from being "a voice for the people".
But in 2015-17, women made up 29% of all MPs, and about 30% of candidates for the coming general election are women - a record high.
Many of these women have or are likely to have young families - so what is it like to run for office with a newborn?
The BBC spoke to two politicians about juggling briefing books and breast pumps.
'He was sick in my hair'
Clifford may well be the youngest baby on the campaign trail.
His mum, Andrea Jenkyns, became the Conservative MP for Morley and Outwood in 2015, famously ousting Ed Balls who was then shadow chancellor.
She gave birth to Clifford, her first son, in March, but what she didn't know was that just three weeks later, a general election would be called.
While people were adjusting to the idea of another election, Andrea was suddenly faced with the task of defending her seat while caring for her baby.
Life with a newborn is hectic for any parent - new babies can need feeding every two hours, and there's also the sleep deprivation.
Most new mums spend this time on maternity leave, but this is no longer an option for Andrea who needs to campaign if she wants to be re-elected.
Her fiance, Jack Lopresti, is also an MP but they spend long hours apart as he lives 200 miles away in his constituency of Filton and Bradley Stoke.
"The biggest challenge was going into election mode when he was three weeks old, I was recovering from my Caesarean that I had to have due to complications and was still taking morphine for the pain," Andrea told the BBC.
Campaigning in a general election means gruelling and physically demanding days - there are voters to meet, doors to knock on and speeches to give.

Andrea has managed to take baby Clifford to some events, including the Conservative manifesto launch in Bradford where he met Theresa May, and when she is delivering leaflets.
"The funniest moment was when the prime minister was due to visit a business in my constituency, and an hour before, I was winding Clifford and he was sick in my hair!
"People are always keen to meet Clifford and he always gets a warm reaction, people also say hello and one little four-year-old girl asked for a photo with him.
"I've also been canvassing on the doorstep when people have asked how he is doing, which is really lovely," she explained.
"Seeing my little boy's beautiful face and the way it lights up when he smiles has kept me going through the tiredness and sleepless nights.
"Being a mother is an absolute real joy."

'Worried I'll miss out'
Azalea is just a year old but she has already played a star role in two major political campaigns.
"In a politician's life when an election happens everything stops," her mum Tulip Siddiq, the Labour candidate for Hampstead and Kilburn, told the BBC.
Azalea was just eight weeks old at the start of the EU referendum campaign in May 2016, and now Tulip is defending her seat in the general election.
"You stop cleaning your house. You stop buying food and you start keeping odd hours.
"But when you have a baby, the baby can't skip naps. The baby needs food and milk.
"I have to be super-organised, but Azalea knows that things are different now," says Tulip.
MPs are not legally entitled to maternity leave which puts extra pressure on politicians trying to balance childcare and work.
Tulip returned to work when Azalea was three months old and she found breastfeeding and expressing milk particularly challenging.
Some people thought her daughter's feeding routine prevented her from committing enough time to the EU referendum campaign, but midwives and doctors advised her to breastfeed.
"I am sure there are people around me who thought I was disruptive or not being helpful because I was breastfeeding," she said.
On referendum day, she fed her daughter in a cupboard at a polling station to avoid making others feel uncomfortable.
Azalea is now weaned so Tulip has been able to be a bit more flexible with her campaign commitments. But like many working mums, she worries about what she may miss.
"The other day she stood up and wobbled her first steps and I was screaming with happiness because I had had a rough day on the doorstep and it was just brilliant to be there and witness that," she said.

Pepper mills will never reach the complexity of iphones and androids so the effort required to select the best of the lot is not that difficult but as with everything a certain amount of caution is wise, particularly if you are planning to spend a great deal of money. In the pepper mill world one can easily part with two to three hundred dollars for one or four to six hundred dollars if the purchase is for a set which generally includes a pepper mill and a salt mill. And six to eight hundred dollars can easily be spent if we were to add in a salt cellar or salt box as it is sometimes called. A salt box is generally kept near the stove and is used to salt the food as it is cooking. Shopping for these items can be broken down into essentially two ideas and those are the commercial grade mills manufactured by commercial companies such as William Bounds, Peugeot, Trudeau and others. These mills are excellent value for your money as these folks have been making them since the 1800's and have by now perfected the manufacturing process and therefore they are proficient and cost effective with most of their products costing less than a hundred dollars. You probably cannot go wrong purchasing one of these. On the other hand, if you are looking for a handcrafted mill this area is one to be wary of. Over the last 8 years or so many woodworkers have taken up building wood pepper mills in a variety of shapes, sizes and woods, including exotic woods, due to the popularity generated by their appearance on the Sara Moulton Cooking Show on Food Network and one episode by Oprah Winfrey. Handcrafted pepper mills can be broken down into two main categories. These are solid wood versus laminated pepper mills. Some say only go with solid wood, which is usually cut from a 3 inch by 3 inch piece of wood and turned down to 2 3/4 inches. They say there is no fear of the mill coming apart as there might be with a laminated one. The laminated mills usually consists of different woods and even veneers glued together to create a fascinating pattern that looks absolutely gorgeous when turned. By the way, "turned" means placing the square wood on a lathe and cutting it to the shape desired. It is true that if not sanded and glued properly with the right glue and the right environmental conditions and given the proper time to cure a laminated mill could come apart and this is why it is essential to pick an individual who has perfected this skill. It is also true that done properly a laminated pepper mill is stronger than a solid wood one! Another area of concern is the actual grinding mechanism. There are many cheap brands out there that simply will not hold up over time to the constant grinding of peppercorns. Peppercorns are not rocks but they do offer a great deal of resistance to the grinding mechanism so it is essential that the woodworker has installed the best. Without question, the best grinding mechanism on the market is made by Chef Specialties so always look to see if the woodworker uses the Chef Specialties brand for his mechanism. The final thing to look for in a handcrafted pepper mill is the finish. While some woodworkers use a simple oil finish, or a polyurethane finish, without a doubt, the best looking and best "feeling" finish and the one that will hold up over time is a lacquer finish. You want the craftsman who has taken the time to put ten or more coats of a spray lacquer finish and then worked and polished that finish to a piano like luster. This type of finish will hold up and look beautiful under normal use and will last for many years to come. In my mind, the handcrafted wood pepper mills created by a master artisan is by far the best pepper mills to purchase.

Is Brendon McCullum becoming a problem? He won't admit so, but his inability to curb his natural aggression is hurting New Zealand.
McCullum's presence means so much to this New Zealand side. Ross Taylor and Jesse Ryder, before him, are sandwiched between a woeful top order and the absence of a quality allrounder at No. 6. After McCullum comes a weak tail and he hasn't been successful at batting with the lower order. When the chips are down he almost always starts swinging. New Zealand's batsmen are largely inexperienced in subcontinent conditions but McCullum's dismissals this series - and a few times this year - have been more due to poor application.
McCullum is a supremely talented player but his Test figures don't reveal that. While his limited-overs career has soared, McCullum's batting in Tests leaves a lot to be desired. Just three centuries in 45 matches, including one each against Bangladesh - five years ago - and Zimbabwe.
McCullum's talent and ball-striking ability have never been in doubt. His promotion to the international scene was seen as a major investment by selectors. He had a credible CV on the domestic front, yet a couple years into his international career it was evident he was more skilled in limited-overs cricket. While over the past two years he's shown a maturity to carry the innings in times of trouble in ODIs, McCullum hasn't repeated the feat in Tests. True, he's been shunted up and down the order due to New Zealand's relatively inexperienced but perennially shaky line-up. But this is an explosive player who wants to be the world's best wicketkeeper-batsman. His attitude doesn't reflect it.
What has stood out most is his frequent lapse in concentration. On his maiden trip to England, in 2004, McCullum was promoted to No. 3 and responded with a ballsy 96 to give New Zealand an outside chance of victory at at Lord's. McCullum was pushed up the order during the Tests against England in early 2008 and when he fell for 97 at Lord's again, he admitted that for four years he'd thought about that 96 and how hungry he was to get a century in England. "You do have to rein yourself in a touch, not because of the Twenty20 stuff, but because of my natural aggressiveness," he said then. "It's not so much the technical change, it's the mental shift."
"Something isn't working. Maybe it's a healthy diet of limited-overs cricket. Maybe it's the pressure of a wobbling top order. But the most glaring reason is a lack of patience."
Something isn't working. Maybe it's a healthy diet of limited-overs cricket. Maybe it's the pressure of a wobbling top order. But the most glaring reason is a lack of patience. He just doesn't seem capable of batting out sessions when the chips are down. True, he has been on the wrong end of some poor decisions this year, notably against West Indies and India, but McCullum is not pulling his weight. Rarely has McCullum grinded his way out of tough situations.
The difference between a good and a very good batsman is the ability to make starts count. In McCullum's case, what is hampering his average is his tendency to throw it away after getting a start. After judging the measure of the attack and crossing 20, he has fallen 23 times before 49. In recent times, Daniel Vettori has been a better batsman. He averages 39.11 in his last 26 Tests, against McCullum's 29.32. Vettori has been exceptionally gifted in judgment, patience, technique and run-scoring. McCullum has appeared as if caught in a fog of indecision.
Against Bangladesh in Chittagong last October, he threw away his wicket when New Zealand were 99 for 5, chipping to mid-on. In the first innings in Adelaide last year, he batted 100 balls for 30 before playing a half-hearted drive, seemingly anxious to do something. In the deciding Test at home against India in April, he edged a cut off a wide delivery from Harbhajan Singh when New Zealand were 181 for 8. In the next innings, McCullum was out playing an expansive drive when the need of the hour was solidity. He can point to an aggressive 115 the Test before - his first century against formidable opposition in Tests - but when he walked in the score was 415 for 5.
In the first innings in Galle, with New Zealand 188 for 5, McCullum walked in and made 1 before he pushed feebly at Thilan Thushara and had his middle stump uprooted. At the SSC today, he remained torn between attacking and defending, and edged a doosra to slip. Taylor put it down to inexperience in the subcontinent. "Not just Brendon, we've all struggled. I won't single him out; we all had a job to do and haven't done it."
But McCullum is something of a veteran in this side and his indifference in the middle has hurt New Zealand. You expected more from him in Sri Lanka. McCullum has typically been used at No. 7, but New Zealand's relatively inexperienced batting line-up meant he became a more important middle-order man. Vettori has supported McCullum's desire to settle at No. 5 but that always hasn't worked out. Against Australia last year, McCullum moved back down to No. 7 and was uncharacteristically restrained; in fact he admitted his approach had changed since moving down a spot. He hasn't replicated it here.
Having kept wickets for long periods in this series, he would have watched Mahela Jayawardene and Thilan Samaraweera, two men as outwardly tranquil as an entire ashram, bat hours on end before turning aggressive. For New Zealand's future, McCullum must soon find that perfect balance.

Most of the altcoins started November on a high but Dogecoin (DOGE) hasn't seem to do much in a while now. Since 15th September dogecoin has been dropping. The meme coin does not thrill crypto users at the moment at all. This can be the time for the coin to sit back and then certainly bounce back again making another prominent mark in the market.
As we have seen in the past, the current trend of the market favors Dogecoin going ahead in future. Dogecoin has surged when the market has stayed low and dogecoin has stayed low when the market has been up. Another plus examining the price of DOGE in recent time is that price of the coin has been fluctuating between a $0.005 USD to $0.0036 USD mark, which is not bullish but it is neither too much bearish. This shows that dogecoin has been wandering around a much stable price mark, which will bring a bull run for DOGE very soon.
Why users can still go bullish on Dogecoin (DOGE) in coming time? The one reason has been dogecoin's converse performance when compared with other altcoins in market. The other reason is that few days back when Dogecoin was listed on SALT, it showed a glimpse of Dogecoin's future. Although this was not that massive listing still the price of Dogecoin surged from $0.003 USD to $0.004 USD.
Dogecoin is also looking to release its Indie game soon, this will a huge uplift to DOGE as online gaming has been a massive market in today's time. Such an exhibition has been missing for Dogecoin network, this will add an extra nuance to DOGE's network and grow the demand of meme coin in the market leading it to increase in its value.
The biggest of all releases has been the 'Dogethereum' which has been Dogecoin's backbone since its launch. This DOGE/ETH bridge has given immense popularity to the meme coin among different crypto users. Due to all this the tag of Joke coin has been vanished and looking at its recent performance the Crypto investors have kept Dogecoin on their watchlist.
The full version of Dogethereum is yet to launch this puts Dogecoin on a bullish side and the listing of SALT has also given boost to Dogecoin and the coming Indie game will also give thrust to DOGE entering into a new year. Currently, Dogecoin was trading with a price of $0.0036 USD having a market cap of $424 million, at the time of writing. So, Dogecoin still has a lot of challenge to face and they will not like to bury their recent hype in such a futile way.

With such a huge influx of new homebuyers entering the market, it makes sense to question what can current homeowners do to attract the eye of these consumers who are most likely to buy THEIR house! Here are our top five:
Move-in ready! Music to our ears! But especially for millennials - this is after all the on-demand generation. A dollar spent on updating the bathroom is money well spent, not to mention a little fresh paint goes a long way.
The falling prices of solar panels combined with the ever improving product quality make this a highly enticing feature to have for an environmentally conscious younger demographic! Consider adding solar panels to your home, to save you money and attract potential millennial buyers.
77% of Millennials say that they want their outdoor space to have the "relaxing retreat" vibe! Adding a simple outdoor patio with some exterior lighting would go a long way!
The idea of having a beautifully designed room that is used for a grand total of 5 times a year (we are looking at you: Dining Room) wouldn't be a great use of space or attractive to the millennial mind. Converting this space to an everyday lounge area is the go-to alternative here. No one has ever complained about having more spaces to relax in.
Technology has seeped into almost every part of our lives, and it's no surprise this now includes our homes. Adding security features like a doorbell camera, backyard floodlights built-in camera, and smart thermostat are not as costly as they may seem!
In fact, Millenials polled that they'd pay 20% more a month in order to secure a home with smart technology!

Third Briefing Note from the VMD (February 2012)
As an update to the earlier briefing notes (see below), the VMD is pleased to confirm that the maximum residue limit (MRL) for altrenogest has been revised. The revised MRL is higher than the previous MRL and as a consequence it is necessary to re-examine the existing residue studies and to modify the withdrawal periods of relevant products across the EU. This is likely to culminate in shorter withdrawal periods being set which are expected to be within the limit of 15 days set by Council Directive 96/22/EC for hormonal products. The process to establish the revised withdrawal periods has started and is being co-ordinated across the EU. It is anticipated that before the end of 2012 all new batches of altrenogest containing products destined for the UK market will specify the shorter withdrawal periods. In the meantime product can remain on the market.
Second Briefing Note from the VMD - 10 June 2011
The Availability of Veterinary Medicines containing Altrenogest
As an update to the earlier briefing note (see below), the VMD is pleased to confirm that investigations have established that there is scope to modify the maximum residue limit (MRL) for altrenogest which in turn will modify the withdrawal period of altrenogest containing products. A Member State submitted a request to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) asking it to re-examine the MRL for altrenogest (in accordance with article 11 of MRL Regulation 470/2009). This request was considered and accepted by The Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use (CVMP) at their June 2011 meeting. Once a revised MRL has been agreed a co-ordinated approach to re-examine the existing residue studies in light of the revised MRL and to modify the withdrawal periods of relevant products across the EU is planned. At this stage it is not possible to rule out the possible need for new residue studies. In the meantime product can remain on the market.
Whilst there is still some way to go to resolve the situation the VMD is cautiously optimistic that this further work will achieve the desired outcome. Having identified a mechanism to resolve the situation the focus of activity will now be considering the scientific data. A further briefing note will be issued once the review of the MRL for altrenogest has been concluded by the CVMP.
First Briefing Note
On the basis of current rules Member States were asked to withdraw Marketing Authorisations for products containing altrenogest where the withdrawal period exceeds 15 days, as such authorisations are in contravention of Directive 96/22/EC. In addition such products were also expected to be recalled from the market. However, the Heads of Medicines Agencies (HMA) are considering whether it is possible to take any steps to remove the need for such action.
The HMA are currently working together to establish if there is a technical solution to this problem as they recognise the importance of these products for the commercial breeding of pigs and horses. The available safety information is being collated and will be scientifically reviewed to establish whether it would be possible to assign withdrawal periods of 15 days or less to altrenogest products. Once the outcome of this review is available a further briefing note will be issued (within 4-6 weeks from now) to keep relevant stakeholders informed of the situation as it develops. Product remains on the market in the interim

Title: Enacting Planets to Understand Occultation Phenomena
(Submitted on 18 Oct 2019)
Abstract: The Solar System motivates students to interest themselves in sciences, as a large number of concepts may be easily introduced through the observation and understanding of planet's motion. Using a large representation of the Solar System at a human scale ("a human Orrery"), we have conducted different activities with 10 to 16 years old children. In this contribution, we discuss the different scientific concepts covered by the Human Orrery, allowing the connection of both science and mathematics subjects in schools. We then detail how this pedagogical tool may serve to introduce abstract concepts required to understand occultation phenomena through a modelling activity.

These images show my discovery of another Male human femur, in the same section of beck that i recently found the first male human femur. also close by was this impressive fossil bos skull, it shows signes of a violent impact to the right, possibly enough to kill the animal.
Bos skull and Human femur Both mineralised found close together in an area i have found two mineralised Canus skulls and another Human mineralised femur.
I excavated this canus skull from the same location last year ime now wondering if there could be a connection.
These images show the Bos skull found not far from the human femurs, and what ime sure is a more modern Bos skull found by myself at fairy dell Middlesbrough. The skull found at fairy dell has in my mind most definitely been slaughtered maybe quite modern , ie a centre punch to the centre of the skull.?
I have witnessed pigs being killed in this way, or maybe as the last comment says a pole axe? . But the Bos skull found near the human femurs was not slaughtered at least not by the impact wounds i described
The skull above is most likely quite modern.
The skull above i think could well have been washed from the nearby grey deposits that have yielded many more pieces , including a Human tibia piece .

This meal is a new go to…. it's fresh, so easy, and great for taking to work for a quick lunch. These burritos are packed with flavor! The fresh cilantro is so yummy in this, and don't forget your hot sauce!
Yield: 4 burritos
2 cups cook rice
4 tortillas
2 cups cooked or canned pinto beans
1 tbsp. tomato paste
1/3 cup of water
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tbsp. olive oil
fresh cilantro
Cook rice, per directions…usually 1 part rice to 2 parts water with a pinch of salt. Heat to boil, stir and then cover and turn down heat to low and cook 15 minutes. Fluff with fork.
Canned beans work also for this recipe. If making from dry, soak beans overnight. Drain water, rinse the beans well, and drain again. Easy slow cooker method: Add beans and enough water to cover beans up to 2 inches over so the beans have enough room to expand while cooking. You can add in onion or spices, but wait to add salt until the end off the cooking process. Cook on high 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 hours until they are tender. Drain excess water and you're ready to go.
Wash and pat dry cilantro. Take a few stems and chop finely…including the stems.
In a small pot, heat the oil and the beans on medium heat. Add in the water and tomato paste and stir well 2-3 minutes. Next add in all the spices and stir. Cook for 2-3 minutes and take off heat.
To assemble burritos:
Lay each tortilla out. Layer 1/2 cup of rice, and 1/2 cup of the beans over each tortilla in the middle. Top with fresh cilantro and roll up into burrito. Serve with salsa or your favorite hot sauce and enjoy.

Current trends in education have increased the commonality of creating an inclusive experience in the classroom—planning and designing experiences that provide effective learning opportunities for today's diverse student body. These types of support and modifications enable different individuals to be successful in their learning environment. One framework faculty at Ohio University are increasingly using to create this inclusive curriculum is through Universal Design for Learning (UDL).
The overarching philosophy of UDL is to include individuals instead of excluding individuals. UDL provides a structure for designing curriculum to fit highly diverse learners; it minimizes barriers while maximizing learning for all students through three main pillars: affective networks (the why of learning), recognition networks (the what of learning), and strategic networks (the how of learning). These pillars emulate the three broad networks of the brain (recognition, skills and strategies, and caring and prioritizing). Learn more about the guidelines of UDL.
Carey Busch, acting dean of University College, has been highly involved with the use of UDL at OHIO. For her, the most important thing about UDL is that it is based in the science of learning, and it is meant to help scaffold the learning experience. "It is not specific to teaching people with disabilities," she said. "UDL is, at the core, about good teaching practice. It doesn't have to replace someone's primary approach to teaching; it can really integrate with it."
Audra Anjum and Larry Hess, instructional designers in the Office of Instructional Innovation, said UDL helps faculty meet students wherever they might be. "The UDL framework is a reminder to give students choices, so they can take control over their learning and make personal, purposeful decisions about how they learn best," Anjum said.
"UDL is a nice tool to consider when designing courses because it provides explicit guidance with set principles that educational psychology research has deemed necessary to enhance learning experience," Hess added. "By considering these principles in the learning design process, you can ensure you are maximizing the instructional opportunities for a broad audience."
UDL emerged at Ohio University within the past few years as a result of the strategic plan for disability and inclusion. Busch was part of this initiative, which led to the creation of a workshop. Busch utilized an 1804 Grant to bring a representative from CAST (Center for Applied Special Technology)—a nonprofit education research and development organization that works to expand learning opportunities for all individuals through UDL—to Athens for one intensive day of UDL training. After the training, attendees made adjustments to one of their courses using elements of UDL.
Attendees showed such interest in UDL that they formed a Faculty Learning Community (FLC) and met throughout the summer and following semester while they taught their newly-adjusted courses. Busch facilitated the FLC, which was composed of faculty from across Ohio University. Throughout the semester, the FLC met periodically to see what was and was not working, learning from and supporting each other throughout the process.
Click the cards below to see how some of these OHIO faculty have implemented UDL elements in their courses, and the effects they have seen from doing so.
Angela Hosek
Scripps College of Communication
The most important takeaway of UDL for me was about the need to support learning variability in students and how researchers studying UDL argue that everyone is on the spectrum, so it's just a matter of where you fall. In essence, UDL proponents highlight the fact that we would be better served if we build ramps instead of stairs because everyone can use the ramp.
Athan Vouzianas
Russ College of Engineering and Technology
To me, UDL became a lifestyle of teaching and learning. Being mindful of the different learning styles and tending to the different learning needs makes me a better teacher.
When first talking to students about giving them choice for how they learn, they may be hesitant and unsure of where to start. Hosek said when she first approached her capstone students about giving them agency in how they complete assignments, they were confused about what was being asked of them.
"The challenges are that students are not ready for that conversation on day one. Some of them look at you and say 'just tell me what you want me to do and I'll do it,'" said Stevenson. "In the short amount of time that is a semester, I want to encourage students to be an avid participant in figuring out what their purpose and their goals might be in the industry."
Many of today's students do not come to college with a lot of life skills, which Stevenson attributes to the lack of UDL implementation in the pre-postsecondary educational systems. Students are used to simply checking assignments off their to-do list, but Stevenson stresses that someone won't always be there to tell them what to do.
"As educators, we're consistently looking for ways to be innovative in order to support learning for every student that's in the classroom," Stevenson said. "I want to know what the students are interested in and figure out how to get it to them. I want to figure out how I can encourage them to find it, because at the end of the day when they're graduated, I'm not going to be standing there."
Stevenson has seen a difference in his students that are exposed to UDL earlier on in their education—they are more informed, engaged, curious, and feel more understood. "At the end of the day, that's what I'm looking for," he said, "Those are the students that challenge us and ask 'Can I do it this way? Can I think differently?'"
For OHIO faculty interested in learning more about UDL and making first steps to implement some of the framework in their own course(s), Busch recommends visiting the CAST website. "They do a great job of presenting UDL in a context that works in higher education, and not just K–12 where there is a more set curriculum," she said. "They offer a lot of ideas."
Hosek suggests seeking out grant funding to attend a training or workshop at the CAST Institute, or even partnering with another faculty member. "Contact your colleagues that have done this, go have coffee with them. Reach out to OHIO's advocates for UDL—we don't do these FLCs to keep the information in a vacuum," she said.
Busch said when looking at UDL, it is easy for faculty to want to change everything all at once, but faculty should focus first on low-hanging fruit. "Look at one or two things you can change one semester and then slowly, over time, work in more UDL," she said "We had instructors who did something as simple as changing the way they presented their syllabus, which students interpreted as them being much more approachable and interested in them as a student."
"UDL is important because it offers the potential for students to reach a really deep understanding of the materials," said Busch. "Just the ways in which students engage with it allows them to be more reflective and think more deeply about the topics."
The Office of Instructional Innovation (OII) serves as a catalyst to spark bold experimentation and sustainable discovery of innovative instructional models that fulfill the University's promise of a transformative educational experience. OII provides a variety of services to faculty, staff, and students in support of academic units and online programs, as well as to advance initiatives to further the institution's mission.

This year has seen a rise in the number of subs used in the LCS. In previous years it was a rare sight to have multiple players starting in the same position. The exception came only when there were illnesses or injuries preventing a player from playing. Now, though it is far from the norm, many teams have started swapping out players between games and sets depending on a number of factors. These factors include: the team being played, the composition the team wants to try, tilt and player to player match ups.
The most prominent example of subs working lies with SKT. Since season five they have had at least one sub. Initially it was Easyhoon subbing in for Faker in the midlane. Then it was Bengi and Blank subbing in and out in the jungle. Now we have Peanut and Blank sharing the jungle and Untara and Huni splitting time in the top lane.
SKT finding success with the sub style has proven that it can work. Though it has been implemented in the NALCS, the strategy has been met with varied degrees of success.
Cloud 9
Cloud 9 has probably found the most success with substitutions in the NALCS this split. Being able to sub in Ray or Impact when the series isn't going their way, or when the match calls for a certain playstyle has helped Cloud 9 a few times this season. Most prominently when C9 subbed out Impact for Ray in their series against TSM. Ray came into game two and stayed even in lane, then made a huge play in the bottom lane swinging the momentum in C9's favor. Then despite picking the wrong keystone mastery in game three of the series he still managed to make plays around the map.
Cloud 9 has found some success with substitutions. They still have a lot of problems that need to be fixed, though. Namely, the team often looks uncoordinated. Take their most recent series against CLG. They lost game one with Impact, who was just destroyed from level one, so they sub in Ray. They win game two with Ray, his J4 looked clean and though he didn't carry he definitely set up some great plays. Game three was a different story. Despite being up in gold and towers at 20 minutes Cloud 9 is unable to take control of the neutral objectives and lost a fight around Baron and then in midlane giving CLG the advantage and letting them take the game.
Subbing works at times for Cloud 9, but it feels as if the lack of scrims with the same roster, and the different playstyle that each top laner brings unbalances C9 nearly as much as it does the opposing team.
Other teams
This trend of unbalance on both sides seems to be a staple among all of the teams that utilize subs in the NALCS. Recently CLG has brought in jungler OmarGod. In his first series he came in after CLG picked up a win against Flyquest. He crushed on Olaf with a 5-0-13 performance, dominating the early game and bullying his way into the mid game. He proved that he has the talent to be an LCS jungler. When CLG lost game one to DIG they subbed out Dardoch and brought in Omar. They still didn't pick up the win, and in fact looked more discombobulated in game two than in game one.
Echo Fox has a "ten man line-up" with a sub for every roll. However, substitutions in any role has only gotten a win against TL since week three.
NV has seen some success with the substitutions between Pirean and Nisqy. Generally, they play out an entire weekend with one, rather than swapping out in between games or series. This allows them time in scrims to prepare for the coming week, rather than splitting time. They still haven't managed to beat a top team other than the struggling C9.
Pros and Cons
Whatever advantages teams gain from implementing subs seems to be negated by the unbalance it brings to their own team. The communication seems to be lackluster in all of the teams that have used subs this split. CLG seemed to bring in Omar in the DIG series because they were reaching for a panic button, rather than having a definitive plan to win. The lack of scrim time that each player gets is also a concern. More scrims is always a good thing, and having to split time between players doesn't promote cohesion.
It is a long term investment though. Having two players that are both integrated with the rest of the team can be a powerful weapon to possess. If teams like CLG and C9 can have seamlessly interchangeable players at their disposal in the future they may have the edge they need to beat other top teams. Until those players get to that level of integration the teams are going to suffer some defeats because of it.
Only time will tell if the investments these teams have made into multiple players will pay off as short term losses and long term gains.

Liberals hate religion and the greedy corporations
Business hates the liberals and the poor
Poor folks need religion so they tend to be conservative,
Though liberals probably care about them more
After each election you've got all these evangelicals
claiming God's the only one who leads
But religion can be selfish, so you find these poor believers
asking government to satisfy their needs.
It's all a circle.
Who's wrong? Who's right?
You didn't come to hear me out;
you came to fight.
It's what we do now.
I bark, you bite.
The Great American Black and White
That hurricane remember? There was Brooklyn underwater
People screamed for FEMA to appear
Liberals shouted outrage, started wars all over Facebook,
But the Mormons were the first ones who were here
You can keep religion and those politics of power
Sometimes I don't know where to begin
If you don't subscribe to any one group or another
then you're never on the outside looking in
It's all a circle. It's all a game
There is resistance everywhere, but we're all the same.
Go stake your claim now Choose left, choose right
The Great American Black and White
Are you brave enough to say what you believe?
Even if it means you stand alone?
Heroes are the humans who see the other humans
and dare beyond the things they've always known
It's all a circle It's all a race
Until you look into your opposition's face
And meet a person who could be right
That's how we get beyond this blight
Of the Great American Black and White.

OFE: A Glimmer of Hope for Asian Tanker Market
Already at the start of the second quarter of 2017 Asia's crude tanker market finds itself flooded with a flurry of newbuilds that hit the water over the last quarter, according to a report from Ocean Freight Exchange (OFE).
New tonnage delivered hit 15 million dwt in the first quarter and is expected to stand at 8.7 million dwt in the second quarter, OFE cited data from Lloyd's List Intelligence.
The gradual but steady unwinding of floating storage in global hotspots due to a flattening Brent futures curve is likely to release a constant stream of tonnage into the market, exacerbating the situation of oversupply.
The negative impact of unusually heavy refinery turnarounds in Asia as well as OPEC production cuts seems to have been offset by increased ton-mile demand from a surge in long-haul shipments, which has put a floor under tanker spot rates.
Amidst such bearish factors, a recent spike in long-haul trades from the Americas has provided a much-needed boost to the Asian very large crude carrier (VLCC) market. Around 27 VLCCs are headed to Asia in April, with not all cargoes confirmed.
"We might see some recovery in VLCC rates at the end of Q2 as peak turnaround season comes to an end and a slowdown in newbuild deliveries takes place," OFE said, adding that lower cargo flows from Iran and Iraq are expected to add downwards pressure to the Suezmax market in the second quarter of the year.

Editor's note: Midway Moments is a column that takes a look at funny, unusual, inspiring — even embarrassing — moments at the 2016 Orange County Fair.
Chicken Charlie needed to make a promotional video. So on Friday morning, about an hour before the gates opened and thousands of hungry patrons flooded in for the 126th annual Orange County Fair, Chicken lined up employees in front of a Chicken Charlie's deep-fried-food stand and started filming
Smartphone in hand, he strolled down the line, aiming the lens toward his merry crew, each member wearing black Chicken Charlie's T-shirts, some with words like "totally fried." They raised their hands in the air and cheered, as if doing the wave at a ballgame.
Later that day, Chicken digitally spliced the video with other footage. By the afternoon, the final production was uploaded to his business's Facebook page, Chicken Charlie's at the Fair, accompanied by hashtags that included "#comegetit."
By 7 p.m., the 46-second video, which ends with a shot of Chicken Charlie's buzzword, "FRYBQ," had some 2,200 views.
Chicken is not his real name, of course. It's Charlie Boghosian, and he's proud to note that he has about 200 employees, a little over half of whom are local kids recruited to work at one of three food stands at the OC Fair.
Chicken explained that opening day is crucial. It's when all that training on the cash register and in food handling comes together for the first time for a crew that's mostly new. But most of all, it has to be fun. Smiles, good service. This is the fair, after all.
"This is a fun day. Your wife, your kids, your family, you want fun," Chicken said. "You're expecting fun. We have to give you fun. So we have to be in a fun attitude."
A few moments later, Chicken looked behind him and noticed that a cook didn't place enough product on the grill.
"What are you gonna do when the first two people come and buy everything you've got?" Chicken asked him. "What are you gonna do for the next 2,000?"
"I'm gonna cook more," the cook replied before walking back to grab stock and load the grill with kabobs and other goods.
"This is a reality show," Chicken joked.
Minutes later, Chicken hopped on a cart with his brother, Tony.
Tony had been tasked with delivering an opening-day pep talk to the crew at a Chicken Charlie's stand close to the Blue Gate entrance.
He approached the nine crew members, all standing around the registers.
"We're gonna open in 10 minutes. Are you guys ready?" he asked. They said they were.
"Customers are here to enjoy the fair," Tony said. "They're gonna go on rides. They're gonna do games. They want to eat fried Oreos and chicken kabobs, and you guys are gonna help them out with that. And Krispy Kreme triple-decker cheeseburgers — where else in the world can you get a Krispy Kreme triple-decker cheeseburger? Only at Chicken Charlie's."
He reminded them to smile and ask customers how their day is going. It's OK to make mistakes, but seek help and learn from those mistakes, he said. Don't be afraid to yell to the kitchen what you need.
Make sure the waffles come with syrup. Remember that zucchini needs ranch dressing.
And "if it's a bacon pickle, you know, ranch probably goes really good with that," Tony added. "So suggest ranch for them."
"Are we charging for ranch?" an employee asked.
"The first ranch comes with it. Always," Tony replied. "So if they want a lot of extra, you know, it depends. If they buy a lot of stuff, we should give it to them."
Tony reviewed the new items, including one with Doritos, cheese, escargot and fresh, "really expensive" caviar.
One employee commented that he ate escargot once in New York, but it was expensive.
"It's only $15.75 at Chicken Charlie's," Tony quipped. The crew laughed.
"That's not bad," Tony said. "That's not bad."

Los Angeles Property Management
Los Angeles Property Management knows that there are a lot of issues which may arise during the tenancy in running a complex.
Whether the landlord or a property manager handles the rental, tenants need to know how to communicate with either party.
Los Angeles Property Management Communicating With All Parties
Los Angeles property management companies listen and anticipate the needs of its renters.
Although there are times when tenant have an emergency and need to report certain issues as soon as possible.
When your property has a maintenance problem, pest infestation, or other structural issues, tenants can be reported to the landlord or property manager for a quick solution.
Act Fast
Los Angeles Property Management know for prompt attention, tenants should be able to send a message directly or through the property management company.
Because of today's digital age, you could receive a phone call, text message, or an email.
When a property manager receives one of these notices, tenants expect a response within a day.
With the right communication platform in place, it is possible to reach the tenant anytime.
The Landlord Way
Los Angeles Property Management has learned over the years that certain landlords have a preferred procedure in these situations.
Be sure to read the lease carefully to know what to do when a problem happens.
Landlords don't want problems, they respond to a written request or complaint very quickly.
They know the urgency of the situation.
Now, when sending a letter or notice, it should contain all the necessary details that need to be addressed with the landlord.
There's no need to use impolite words, doing this a lot of the times will worsen the problem.
Be sure to avoid using them, even if it was to turn into a sour conversation.
Be sure to be straightforward, but, also be carefully choosing the right words to use.
Again, with the proper communication platform in place, all problems and issues can be resolved in a timely manner.

Anatel Certification
A certification of radio products for the Brazilian market is based on an approval of the local authority Agência Nacional De Telecomunicações (Anatel). The certification relates to national specifications for the testing and certification process and is the basis for a market approval for Brazil.
Three product groups define the need for Anatel certification
The Anatel certification is relevant to a variety of products and the process divides the products into three different categories.
Cat. I: Terminal Equipment
This category includes products such as mobile phones, mobile phone chargers or modems. The approval for these products is valid for one year and the certification process usually requires ten to twelve weeks. After the expiry of the approval, a modular recertification is possible for unchanged devices, which reduces the effort for manufacturers.
Cat. II: Restricted Radiation Equipment
For this category, which includes products using technologies such as WLAN, Bluetooth or radar, manufacturers must also schedule a period of ten to twelve weeks for the certification process. The approval is valid for a total of two years and a modular certification process for unchanged devices is also offered, which again reduces the effort for a recertification.
Cat. III: Remaining Radio Equipment
Products from this category (mobile network signal transmitters, cable connectors, fiber optic cables) are permanently approved for the Brazilian market. This means that a recertification is not necessary for unchanged devices. As with the other product categories, a period of ten to twelve weeks must be scheduled for approval.
For all three categories, the tests required for market approval must be carried out in a local laboratory in Brazil. Furthermore, as part of the certification process, a local representative must be involved. The Anatel certification is finally carried out by a so-called Designated Certification Body (OCD), which also needs to be involved as this step is also mandatory and defined by the rules of the authority.
The Anatel Certification Label
A successful Anatel certification requires manufacturers to display the associated certification label along with the approval number and the text of resolution 506 on the product. The label must have a minimum size of 4 mm according to the Anatel specifications. If there is insufficient space on the product, manufacturers may request an exemption from the authority so that the approval information is only presented in the manual. But this requires the approval of the authority.
Our services
As part of our certification services, we coordinate the entire Anatel certification for you. Our experienced certification team carries out the complete project management, ensuring an efficient approval process including the coordination of the local testing, the contact with local contacts such as the local representative or the OCD for a rapid approval in the Brazilian market.
Do you have any further questions about an Anatel certification? Please do not hesitate to contact us directly: https://www.cetecom.com/en/contact/

Published online: 31 October 2018
In the previous Quarks 2016 conference I have presented a concise review of description of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) formation in heavy-ion collisions (HIC) within the holographic approach. In particular, I have discussed how to get the total multiplicity and time formation of QGP in HIC that fit the recent experimental data. For this purpose we had to use an anisotropic holographic model. There are also experimental indications that QGP formed in HIC is anisotropic. In this talk I discuss static properties of anisotropic QGP, in particular, phase transition and diffusion coefficients.

A poem, by E.M.Billington, about the contradictory love of unseasonably warm days and the knowledge that these beautiful days are a result of the planet being destroyed
What I propose, therefore, is simple: it is
nothing more than to think what we are doing.
—Hannah Arendt
We spend much of the day in the sun
in our short sleeves, in our
sunscreen, in our sweat. It is the middle
of midwestern January, and it is perfect
hiking weather. As we trek on gravel-slush
near a gray lake, we try not to think of our mother
earth as a dying body. But it's hard
not to, when we know it should
be snowing right now and instead
we bask in warmth and light.
So we speak of death, share a beer and watch
the sun set. By the time we drive home,
windows open wide and the breeze rushing
through our hair, the sky has settled into
night, spanning orange and purple,
no longer a visible star in sight.

O Hototogisu! fragment of a Japonisme (U.S. premiere)
Oliver Knussen
O Hototogisu! was first performed June 23, 2017, at the Aldeburgh Festival, by the Birmingham Contemporary Music Group, with soprano Claire Booth, flutist Marie-Christine Zupancic, and the composer conducting.
This fragment is part of a larger work-in-progress concerning the Hototogisu (or Lesser Cuckoo), a bird widely invoked in Japanese haiku poetry of the 17th-19th centuries. The poet listens for its arrival from the mountains both as a harbinger of summer and a voice from the land of the dead.
I have assembled the text by paraphrasing many sources, and like a tourist have appropriated some instrumental signals from the music of Japanese theater (particularly Kabuki), though I have tried to do both in a spirit of respect.
This project is conceived as a sort of double concerto for Claire Booth, Marie-Christine Zupancic, and the BCMG, and is dedicated in affectionate gratitude to Jackie and Stephen Newbould, who last year retired from the helm of this wonderful ensemble. — Oliver Knussen © 2017

This Inclusive Target Ad Will Make you Smile
Target has really been killing it lately on the diversity front. Between changing the game with plus-size clothing and removing gendered labels from the toy section, Tarjay is on the forefront of inclusive marketing. This Halloween, they launched an ad that shows that their representation game is still going strong.
In a recent advertisement, Target showed a little girl with arm braces and crutches in their Halloween section. She was rocking a Queen Elsa costume alongside other kid models. She's so cute we bet you won't be able to "let it go."
Consumers took to social media to praise Target for this ad, most citing the importance of normalizing differently abled children.
@coolgurlcool We're really glad that you liked it! Our Advertising team tries hard to include all of our guests. Thanks for tweeting us!
— AskTarget (@AskTarget) October 23, 2015
It's nice to know that big brands are taking inclusion and representation so seriously. We're hoping for a future with a greater variety of models in advertising, and that kind of change is propelled by ads like this. And because they're such a socially savvy company, you officially don't need to feel guilty about going to Target for one thing and coming home with six other things. You're basically just doing your part for social change.
What kind of representation would you like to see more of? Tell us in the comments!

Last night, following getting caught in the rain (a much needed break in NYC's loco heat wave), I headed on over to YogaWorks for free yoga, day two.
I awkwardly wrangled myself out of my Hunter boots and fleece (!!) amid a group of calm, cool and collected yogis, dropped my things off in the "women's retreat" and started towards Studio 1.
Taking a deep breath, I cautiously stepped my toes into the room as though I were dipping my toes into a lake, testing its temperature. Noting with surprise that the room was comfortably cool, I released my breath with relief and walked with confidence into the studio to establish my space. No hot yoga surprise tonight!
I took the YogaWorks Flow level 2/3 with the hilarious Denise, an older blonde decked out in bright pink who carried absolutely none of the hippie-dippie pretense many instructors seem to be saturated with. Whew! I have a hard time keeping a straight face when many instructors go into overly spiritual mumbo-jumbo, or encourage the class to join in group Sanskrit chants. I don't mean to be disrespectful, but, especially in regards to the group chanting - I have absolutely no idea what I'm saying. I like to entertain myself by imagining the possibilities of what the words mean and what I might be agreeing to. Signing up for a life-time membership at the gym? Pledging that mint chocolate chip is the best flavor of ice cream and I will forever forego all others? Sure!
The class was challenging, but again, the 90 minute format allowed for plenty of relaxation between difficult poses, during which Denise helped us relax further with the ultimate relief - laughter.
I have one brief bragging moment, which is also slightly embarrassing because I am about to brag about a total non-event: for the first time, I did a forearm headstand up against a wall! Yes, with my heels balancing against the wall. So really, I accomplished nothing on the physical level. However, performing this pose was still a huge moment for me as I leapt over a mental hurdle that had been blocking me for quite some time.
I always find head- and handstand poses in yoga utterly daunting as I don't believe I have the balance, coordination or upper body strength to pull them off. Taking a moment to really reflect on that, though, I remember bouncing into handstands as a child when I was even weaker and more uncoordinated than I am today. I've learned that the only thing preventing me from more difficult poses in yoga isn't my own physical limitations, but a lack of a childlike fearlessness. I can't remember when I lost that fearlessness - in physical activity and in my personal life - but by taking a baby step in my headstand practice yesterday, I also took a baby step in regaining it and I am so excited to push myself further and discover where it can take me - in yoga, in running, in my career, in my life. As Denise reminded us during triangle pose, anything we do with intention is "yoga".
YogaWorks win.
Oh, and then I left my yoga mat at the studio, only to realize that as I was getting ready for bed. So YogaWorks wins twice...you're welcome, YW.
