What's the difference between a flat and an apartment? About £100,000!
One thing that really gets on my nerves is the building firms using US terms such as "apartment" when "flat" is a perfectly good UK term meaning the same thing. They seem to think it gives an upmarket sound to it. One building firm near here used- heaven help us!- "duplexes"- pass the hand grenades please!
There's a block of flats being built behind the local Library in my town (Winchester). Most such places have a Sales Office, but this one bears an enormous ornate shop-sign-type notice across the front of the half-built block which can be seen from in front of the Library (about 100 yards away) proclaiming that it has a "Marketing Suite" - grrrrrrrrrrrrr !

Well, heck, I'll do better than that...I will workshop them. Thanks!
I had an interesting finding while workshopping. Some dictionaries have the hyphen in all three, and some don't. The online OED (the gold standard?) has the hyphen in all 3, though it has bedsit as an alternative.
Sometimes articles can be so timely! I read a punctuation article in the Tribune, "When is a Hyphen More than a Hyphen?" Unfortunately, I couldn't find it online. It had some fun stories about hyphens. For example, the OED and Chambers Dictionary differ on whether "bling bling" should have a hyphen. While the OED favors hyphenation, Chambers doesn't.
I also thought Germany's "anti-hyphen law" was funny! Apparently they have a strict law that will allow citizens to hyphenate their names after marriage, but they forbid them from passing the names on to their children! In fact, there is a case now before the European Court of Justice on this. The parents of 10-year-old Leonhard Matthias Grunkin-Paul have challenged the anti-hyphen law.
Only in Germany!
This one?
Good heavens...how do you do it, Di? I looked all over for it last night. What did you Google to get it? Perhaps it was put up after I looked.
As Sherlock Holmes might have said "deduction, my dear Kalleh" .
You mentioned the Tribune in your original post. I googled for that and found several, so I had a look at your profile and discovered you live in Chicago. I then googled for Chicago Tribune and when I brought up their site I discovered they have a site search box into which I typed the word "hyphen" - which gave me three choices with brief details of each, one of which mentioned that German example you quoted in your post .
Well, I must be a real dufus then because I sure tried to do exactly that.
I was listening to NPR the other day, and in a report from a Londoner with a lovely English accent the gentleman said that Tony Blair and some other politician (I can't remember whom) were so close that you couldn't get a "cigarette paper between them." Cigarette paper??? We'd not say that! Is that a common English phrase?
It's not uncommon to say that. It's quite descriptive, I think.
Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.
First of all, cigarettes are not cheap here, being heavily taxed in order to discourage the filthy habit(!) So, many people smoke "rollies" using loose tobacco and cigarette papers in the grand ol' John Wayne tradition, largely because it's cheaper and largely because the tobacco has probably been smuggled from Holland or some-such place, anyway. The economical way to lung cancer!
So ciggy papers- usually made by Rizla- are commonplace here, hence the description.
Ah...that's the difference. We don't roll our cigarettes here. So it isn't all that descriptive to Americans.
There is a new movie out here, which is apparently "unremarkable," and I don't intend to see it. However, it has a British language aspect to it that sounds a little funny. In the movie the American step-mother apparently likens certain British expressions to baby talk, such as "Cheerio pip," and in light of this the movie is entitled "Wah-Wah."
Is "cheerio pip" supposed to be a British expression? If so, it's certainly not one which is heard in my part of the UK!
Richard English
I believe the phrase was "Cheerio pip-pip" and it was common in British films shown in the States. Perhaps the phrase went out with David Niven, and was exclusive to the upper crust of British society.
There's an old World War One song called "Goodbye-ee". I've always known the refrain, but thank you all for making me look it up and therefore discovering several verses to it as well . See here for the full lyrics - which also contain several other terms which were in vogue at that time, such as "toodle-oo" (sometimes rendered as "toodle-pip").
The works of P G Wodehouse are filled to overflowing with such sayings - especially those featuring his best-known character Bertie Wooster and his long-suffering butler Jeeves - but he was exaggerating for effect and I think few people, even of that late 19th/early 20th century upper class, actually talked like that to such an extent (although they may have used a few of those terms occasionally). See here for a few quotes from some of his books. This explains how and why some of the terms which Wodehouse satirised came about in the first place.
Many of these slang terms were brought back from distant parts of the Empire by British Army officers or Civil Service administrators. This is a fascinating site which gives a host of such terms, sorted by region, and their derivations. From this we learn that "chin-chin" was originally Chinese (or at least, used in China) and meant "conference". Colonial British had the attitude (which still persists today) that one only has to raise one's voice and speak English verrrrryyyy slooooooooooowwllyyyyy to be instantly understood by anyone anywhere in the world. Failing that, one spoke to one's inferiors (which was usually anyone else but one's own relatives and class) in a variety of baby-talk - which became Pidgin (which I have been told is derived from a mispronunciation of the word "business") English.
There seemed to be a last gasp of such linguistic practices persisting among BBC cricket commentators right through to the 1990s when "foreigners" such as Australians and New Zealanders, South Africans and West Indians started appearing in their ranks bringing their much blunter ways with them. All but a handful of the original commentators had gone to one or other of the elite English Public Schools (which means highly expensive private schools) and they all referred to each other - on air - by infantile versions of their surnames. There was Henry Blofield ("Blowers"), Brian Johnson ("Jonners") and a few others I can't remember now. They also used slang similar to that being discussed here, but I can't remember the details now because I find cricket intolerably dull and the thought of listening to more than a few minutes of commentary at a time - especially on radio - is more than I can take.This message has been edited.

I would think that Jeeves would far more accurately be described as "a gentleman's gentleman". His role was very different from that of a butler. To start with, Bertie had no household staff and one of a butler's main tasks is to manage the other domestic staff - from tweenie to cook - and to act as an emissary between the master of the house and the other staff (many of whom the master would rarely see.
Jeeves's job was to look after his master - to a significant and often personal extent - which duties would never be undertaken by a butler.
Richard English
Ah yes, I should have remembered that there was a difference . I stand corrected .
It's an interesting exercise, and one pertinent to a project I have undertaken, determining to what extent an expression has "crossed the pond."
Take "commando" for instance. Searching "underwear" in the "all" box and "go commando" in the "exact phrase" box yields about 35k hits. Repeating the search with "uk au nz nu aussie brit british cockney" in the "without" box evokes around 25k. This ratio of 5/7 indicates to me only a very slight rightpondwise adoption
The first time I ever heard the phrase "going commando" was in an episode of Friends. I think that may have been its general introduction this side of the pond.

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Kalleh:

Kalleh, Thanks for that:
you have taught me a new word, Dufus. I find it's usually spelled Doofus , but I haven't encountered it in my narrow realms of reading. For other Brits who may not know the word, it is classed as slang (though none the worse for that), and is employed: 'mainly in the US'. Defined as A foolish or stupid person, an idiot; also as a general term of contempt. Cf. GOOFUS . Possibly an amalgam of German Doof- and goofy. The Dictionary of American Slang says "probably related to doo-doo and goofus," which isn't very helpful.
Relatively new, it was first noted in 1955 J. LARDNER in N.Y. Times Mag. 25 Dec. 10/1 "Doofus lost every round from the third, but they give him the duke!"
I guess there are earlier examples ?
So is "doofus" an Americanism them?
You are correct, Pearce, that for some reason I chose the uncommon spelling for the word. I wonder if "dufus" got into the dictionary merely because the misspelled word was used so much. Interestingly, there are 1,250,000 Google sites for "doofus" and 353,000 for "dufus."
I think "doofus" is rather common. Is it Americans?
|<Asa Lovejoy>
Well, most Americans are common, but there are a few exceptional ones.
Asa the doofasoid dingbat
LOL, yes, Asa, I think you do qualify as a doofus.
I don't hear the word much any more. There are more crude expressions that have become more common, I think.

I was reading an article about some high schools not using class rankings anymore...and of course colleges not liking that decision. There was a comment that class rankings got started because "Americans want to rank everything." Compared to other cultures, do we in the U.S. have a proclivity for rankings?
I think you have to define what you mean by ranking. There's probably a lot more invisible ranking (class differences) in the UK than in the USA, but there may be more of the ranking you mentioned in the USA. There is of course school ranking and publication of exam results in the UK as well.
By "class ranking", do you mean a particular student's ranking in a particular subject? For example, a student who is best in the class at English would be ranked 1; one who is average might be ranked 20? If so, we used to rank students in that way up to about 30 years ago, but the system was dropped as it was felt to be a disincentive to the lower achievers. The class position was never sent on to colleges; they would rely on exam results.
Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.
Some high schools in America have "class rank", which is a measure of GPA. If you were the best in a class of 200, you would be 1/200, if you were the worst, you would be 200/200.
Yes, I meant class rankings in the way Sean has posted.
In the article I mentioned above, they wrote about a girl who is graduating #140 in her class of about 800. She has had mostly A's and a few B's. This is a high school where students excel and indeed are over-achievers. It is hardly fair for this girl to be #140 simply because her school has excellent students; had she been from a different high school, it's conceivable that she'd be ranked 10-20 or so. These rankings do get sent to colleges and certainly make some kind of impact on the acceptance decision.
We also rank our colleges, our hospitals, our physicians, our lawyers in magazines like U.S. News and World Reports. Even our Chicago Magazine ranks Chicago hospitals, lawyers, physicians, etc.
Does England do that?
We're certainly getting that way here . For several years now we've had school "league tables" which are published in local and national newspapers annually and now we're getting them for hospitals and other institutions too. We hear a lot about "failing schools" which are way down the bottom of these tables and, of course, those parents who can send their children to higher ranking schools do (stories abound of parents who have actually moved house to get their child(ren) into their preferred school) - which leaves the "failing" schools full of those children whose parents have no choice but to stay put, so their demographic spread becomes even more unbalanced.
Now our government's latest idea is to let people go to any hospital in the country for treatment, rather than just their local one. This sounds like a good idea in theory, but I can't really see very many people taking advantage of it unless they're really desperate. Having spent several stretches in hospital, I know that it's not just having the operation that matters but the psychological boost of having family and friends come in to visit - especially if the patient is hospital for a long time. If someone opts to have their treatment at a hospital some distance away from their home area, visiting is going to be a big problem for elderly people or mothers with small children - especially if they have to use public transport.
As some of you know already, I work for Ofsted, which in involved in the inspection of schools in England. The "failing" schools mentioned by Di are deemed to be failing to give students an acceptable standard of education, and the persons responsible for leading, managing or governing the school are not demonstrating the capacity to secure the necessary improvement.
Various statistics are used to help determine whether a school is giving students a suitable education, but they can only apply to the school, not individual students. A system like the one described by Kalleh and Seanahan seems unfair and statistically flawed; comparing them only with their classmates will most likely provide a skewed sample.This message has been edited.

I can vouch for this from personal experience. On her last stay in hospital before she died my mother was due to have a heart bypass operation Coventry, a mere hour's drive away. This was switched to Cheem, about a seven or eight hour drive, depending on traffic. My father was given accomodation there by the hospital. There were complications and she was there for almost a month. In that time I was able to get down twice and my brother (who lives a lot closer) about four times. My father was being a hospital visitor 24-7. This is no good psychologically for the patient or the visitor and when I got down and saw him he was like a lost soul, neither patient nor staff, haunting the grounds of the hospital whenever he wasn't in the ward with my mother.
The "any hospital you want" solution has been touted (in distinct forms) by both our main parties. It is a "seen to be doing something" panacea that completely fails to address the real problem which is that hospital beaurocracy is so complex that pouring money in in any form is just pouring it away as the administration mounts and mounts. What's needed is a radical rethink on how all our hospitals are managed but of course that would involve getting rid of a lot of the non-medical jobs and that would be unthinkable.
What people want is to be able to get quickly, into a local hospital and be assured of an acceptable standard of medical care while they are there. "Choice" has become a mantra for our politicians who would like us to believe that it will solve all our problems to be given a choice. A three-card-trick is a three-card-trick no matter how you dress it up.

Just for the sake of comparison, I'd like to mention how it's done in Oslo, where I teach. For example, standardized tests are administered in grade eight, then given once more in grade ten. The progress made in three years is gauged, not the level compared to other schools in the same city. As you mentioned, it's fairer this way if you are gauging how well a school is doing in teaching its students/pupils.
However, there is always the possibility of external factors damaging a school's standing: when pupils and schools must deal with truancy, problems at home, general neglect outside the school, etc.
A question about the class rankings: you seem to imply that they are based on a student's GPA in all subjects; is that right? If, say, a student is a science nerd it hardly seems right to include all subjects; grades in English Literature and History, for example, would be irrelevant if the student intends studying Physics at college. Whilst it would of course be good if a student were to have a well-rounded education, poor grades in a totally non-related subject could deny a budding Einstein a place.This message has been edited.

Ahhh...spoken as a true bureaucrat.
Arnie, high school here is considered general education, so there usually is a core curriculum required, which may be 2 years of math, 4 years of English, 3 years of social studies, 2 years of foreign language, etc. It completely depends on the high school what those core courses are. So a student interested in physics, for example, could take lots of related science courses, but she also would have to take the core curriculum of English, history, math, etc.
You are correct that it is very unfair to compare the GPA (or rankings) of a small mediocre school to those of a large, excellent school. Our kids went to one of the best high schools in the country, but for many kids that was a big problem. We had friends whose girl was ranked around 150 in our high school. They purposely moved to another very good, but much smaller high school, where she immediately ranked #10. She was able, therefore, to get into a very good college.
On the other hand, most good colleges will consider several pieces of data besides grades and rankings, such as standardized tests, teacher reommendations, their essay, outside activities they've been involved in, and the quality of the high school. For the latter, I do know that our high school was considered one of the top, so that friend of ours may have gotten into the same college anyway.
I know, it's all very complex, and getting into one's favorite college in the U.S. is widely known to be a crap shoot.
Here, students take a set of exams at around age 16 in a broad spectrum of subjects, such as English, Maths, History, Physics, etc. These are known as GCSEs. During the next two years the the more academically inclined will study for GCE "A" levels, and the results of these decide to a great deal their further education. They will normally study three or four subjects only, so will of course specialise in their best subjects.
In actuality, their teachers project their expected A level results, and universities will offer places on the strength of the projection, provided they perform as expected. This can of course often lead to heartbreak when a student for some reason does less well than expected. There is some discussion at the moment about holding the exams earlier in the year so they will have their results before they need to apply to the college. It has also been suggested that the first university term start later for the same reason.
I think that sums up the UK's system,too.
Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.
I think the ranking is important, both the ranking of the schools and the individual students. A truly quality college or university will, as you say, Kalleh, look at many factors, including the ranking and reputation of the high schools in question, before choosing which students to admit. I went to a very good high school, as well, and don't remember my exact ranking, but I do remember that it was in the top 1/3 of the class of 500-600 students. That percentage may not sound so exclusive, but given the quality of my high school and it's subsequent reputation, that was a mark of honor for me and helped me get into a very good college.
The schools in our state are graded according to their academic achievements and other things, and those "grades" allow parents to qualify (in our city) to enter their children into a lottery to get into some of the better schools. We've done this with Simon because our local middle school is ranked at the lowest position in the city (see the report here).
I have mixed feelings about the lottery system we have. At the moment I hate it because Simon still sits on a waiting list for both of the schools we'd chosen as acceptable. We'll send him to private school if neither of those other schools works out, but that is an increasingly expensive proposition. Also, kids who aren't college-bound and who don't do well in school and have no support have equal footing with kids who are trying to get into a good college. I love that idea, and I suspect that it's not the best idea, both at the same time.
"Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.

Ah, but think about it. How many high schools are there in the U.S.? Do you think even the "true quality colleges" will get that right? And what percent of colleges in the U.S. are of "true quality?" Surely none of the large state universities, like your Ohio State or our University of Illinois, have the resources to look at "multiple data" of the 50,000 or more students who apply. In theory, your ideas work; in reality, not so much.
Just remember, high school kids are immature, especially boys. They might think they aren't "college-bound" when in fact they are. We must give all kids a chance to be as well educated as possible. I like your state's idea of the lottery system. Another type of system would label kids as "not college material" much too early.
I'm old enough to remember the dreaded 11+ exam. Students took this at the end of the school term prior to their 11th birthday. This determined whether they would go to grammar school (academic swots) or secondary modern school (all the rest).
I went to BOTH!!! I passed my 11+ in the early 1960s when my father was stationed in Cyprus and went to an army grammar school for 2 1/2 years. We returned to the UK at the beginning of October 1963 - a month after my 13th birthday - and stayed with my maternal grandparents while my father was on a course for six months at the other end of the country (typical forces procedure). Of course, I had to go to school and my mother took me to the grammar school for an interview with the Principal.
By now it was nearing the end of October and, frankly, I think the Principal didn't want me. After all, I was arriving halfway through a term and would only be there for another few months before moving on yet again. She set me two tests - one Maths and one English. She said to us (me and my mother) that my standard of English was "off the top of the scale" but my Mathematical ability was around the level of an average 8 year old .
Needless to say, I didn't get into that school and I was forced to attend a series of absolutely appalling secondary modern schools from then on.
It was taken for granted that, because we were "not grammar school material" that we were all stupid and I was terribly frustrated because everything was far too easy for me and I was bullied unmercifully because I was the class swot and always getting far higher marks than the others (except in Maths, which I've hated all my life).
The government abolished the 11+ towards the end of the 60s, just after I left school completely and introduced Comprehensive schools which merged all the schools in the same area - regardless of location, so that in the early days pupils found themselves having a lesson at one school and then going half a mile down the road to another.
Unfortunately, although the intention was that the standard of education would rise to the level of the best schools, in many it fell instead - especially when it was decided that teachers must no longer correct errors in students' grammar and spelling. We now have two generations which can no longer spell or know anything about basic sentence construction.
I was one of several mature students on my English degree course at a very good English university in 1990 and we all had to take a compulsory 30 hours course in basic grammar because the 18 year olds (despite their having achieved good grades in their GCSE {General Certificate of Secondary Education} A {Advanced} level exams) had no idea of what a noun, adjective, or whatever was! We old 'uns had all been taught this as routine when we were about 12 or so.
Now I frequently see constructions like "bored of", "would of" and similar and don't get me started on spelling and punctuation or I'll be here all day .
I'm sure that I've told this story before but here it is again.
I too am of a generation that weas at school when grammar was still taught - probably the last generation as my Grammar School became a comprehensive in the year that I left, having had a non-selective intake for two years before that. The result was that I left school with a good knowledge of grammar. As an aside some of the people I have been on my recent cert-ed course with - and bear in mind that these people are all teaching English - don't know basic things such as what a noun is or what tense, aspect and voice refer to.
Anyway, some years after leaving school I decided to brush up on my German. After a pointless week in the entry level I moved up a level and was soon attending every week. In one lesson, when as I recall we had been talking about the way to use past tenses in German one student asked, in perfect seriousness, "Why does German have to have all these tenses? English doesn't." Two people in the room were shocked - me and the teacher. The rest all nodded in agreement and turned to the teacher for an explanation of why English "doesn't have tenses".
Needless to say the teacher was completely unable to answer this question and the students simply wouldn't believe that English not only has tenses but has that tricky simple/continuous division that German lacks. (It has other ways of doing the same thing.)
To this day I am astonished that anyone could have asked the question.

I have recently been running some revision courses for travel consultants taking their supervisory and management examinations, which tests are run by City and Guilds. These will all be people of at least 25, holding positions of some importance in their companies.
One invariable query that I get is about the "difficult" language used in the questions and I have had to accept that the language used, which is actually very straightforward, simply contains words and constructions that many people do not use and thus do nut understand. For this reason I have put together a glossary of terms so that, for example, candidates appreciate the difference between the common verbs "describe" and "explain" when each is used in a question.
Goodness only knows how they would do if C & G were to use really difficult words...
Richard English
The language used in the exams we do (also City and Guilds) is often misunderstood by the students.
We have to teach extra lessons on "understanding the question" before we let them loose on the eexam. But this isn't unreasonable, for example they must understand that the question
"How would you describe the language in this letter?"
cannot be answered with "I would describe it to my teacher." or "I would describe it in English."
It isn't in fact a question at all. It's an instruction and it means "Describe the language used in this letter."
While your students, being (I presume) mostly native speakers, should be able to understand this, mine can't always. My students are learning to speak English and I've felt for a long time that the questions should be couched in the simplest possible language so that the students don't lose all their marks because of a misunderstanding about what they are required to do.
The other things about these particular exams is the standard of proof reading - there isn't any. The answer sheets require the students to give answers to questions that weren't asked, to give multiple examples when the question doesn't make it clear that single answers are unacceptable, to answer with complex conceptual answers where the question can be interpretted as requiring simple factual ones, to obey instructions that weren't given and on and on. In the most recent writing exam I administered there were three sections with respectively 7, 14 and 14 marks available. Of those I estimated that a total of nine marks could not be got at all and that about another 6 were very unlikely to be got.
We complained about this after last year's exams and absolutely nothing was done. No changes were made to the papers and all the problems are still there.
The instructions, should, in my opinion, always be written in the simplest language available to enable the students to focus solely on the actual tasks.

That's very interesting. I have been involved with City and Guilds since 1978 as a question-writer, examiner, chief examiner and member of several committees and panels in that time.
Although C & G are often frustrating, the question-setting rigour (at least in my test area) is considerable. The question "How would you describe the language in this letter?" would never be allowed in any of the tests I am involved with for several reasons. To start with it's an interrogative question - and these are generally frowned upon by C & G (except in the case of multiple choice). Questions in the papers I am involved with must be phrased as instructions, not posed as questions.
The example you cite could, quite accurately, be answered, "...A load of old cobblers..." and that would, to my mind, be deserving of full marks. A question that asks for a personal opinion should never be used and would have been thrown out of any of my moderating committees in very short order. A simple instruction, "Describe the language used in this letter" would, as you say, be better. Better still would be a question that indicated what kind of description was needed. For example, "Describe the grammar/spelling/style/tone/language used in this letter" would make it clear to the student exactly what type of description is needed.
I am horrified to learn of the poor proofing; all the papers I am involved with are proofed at least four times: by the examiner; by the members of the moderating panel; by the moderating committee and again by the examiner prior to print.
Some years ago I had occasion to complain to C & G about my payments (basically they were keeping me waiting for months) and I wrote to the Director (Carey, at that time). He really kicked the top of the sleepy ants' nest and the whole accounts department was re-organised. I suggest you do the same since it strikes me that the dread disease of complacency is endemic in the English language testing department!

Dianthus, you have a brother in the States! Same situation! Ironic, considering my childhood ambition to become an aeronautical engineer!
A further example, from one of the reading papers.
The candidate had been given an advertising leaflet from a supermarket promoting, among other things, their loyalty card scheme. One of the questions asked something like (I don't have a copy to hand for the exact wording) "Do you think this scheme is a good idea?"
First of all that's a closed question demanding a "yes"/"no" answer and, in my view proving nothing about the candidates reading. It's also impossible to answer wrong. Or is it?
The next question said simply. "Why?"
Again nothing to do with reading. The answer sheet however instructed that for a mark for this question the answer had to be related to the text (not apparent from the question) and to a set list of potential answers that were given -ALL OF WHICH assumed you had answered "Yes" to the previous question.
One of my students wrote "No" and "Because they are trying to make me spend more money." I marked both answers correct and added a notation that if the paper was among the verified ones I was prepared to back up my judgement and argue on the student's behalf.
(Incidentally it isn't just the ESOL papers. The numeracy ones also contain numerous wrong answers, missing questions and the like.)This message has been edited. Last edited by: BobHale,

Bravo, Bob! I have had the same problem myself in similar situations here in Norway. Once I announced to the pupils that there was a misprint in the exam, and that it should read "heroine" instead of "heroin". I was told by the administrator that no information was to be given to the pupils, and that I had to leave the locale.

Sullivan Storage Bench With Tray Top – When having friends over for a cook out, having some extra seating space is a must. An outdoor storage bench seat will provide not only some comfortable seating but also some storage room for some extra cushions or outdoor entertaining utensils. These seat seats come in a wide array of designs, colors, and materials out of which they are made. You should have no trouble in locating one that suits your present outside furniture, and if this is your very first piece of patio furniture then you can choose from all of the different layouts to start building your patio look and feel.
A number of the different layouts that you will encounter are versions with and without arm rests and backpacks. Furthermore, they will vary in seating comfort amounts as a result of different construction methods used. Always test the bench you're considering sitting in it for a few minutes to get a good idea on the comfort level, as some may appear more comfortable than others at first but after a couple of minutes of sitting inside them you shortly find out that they aren't as comfortable after all.

Wood appears to be the most popular material for an outside storage bench seat owing to its natural beauty. Other materials they are made from comprise resin, wicker, plastic and even steel. All have their own distinct look and will suit different needs and outdoor problems. This is something that must be taken into account before choosing your seat.

These seat seats are available in a number of different sizes to match one, two, three and even four people. Make certain to check the sturdiness of this seat seat you're interested in particularly the 2, 3, and 4 seat models if the price seems pretty low. There are a number of cheaper chairs that are cheap for a reason and that's typically as a result of construction materials used. Just by choosing a friend or two with you when trying to find a seat you will have the ability to put the chair into the test for sturdiness.
If you're searching for a specific look or design for your storage seat seat and can not seem to find something already made, then you may want to acquire something custom made to your own specifications. There are a couple of ways to go about it, and that's by getting a carpenter to build one for you or obtaining some strategies and making one yourself. This way you will end up with the exact design to fulfill your needs. So as you can see, an outside storage seat will definitely fix your outside seating problems and provide you some good storage space at exactly the exact same time.

Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) has released a risk assessment showing that there may be a risk of contaminated food imported from the Japanese areas of Chiba, Fukushima, Ibaraki, Miyagi, Saitama, Tochigi, Tokyo and Yamagata.
As a result the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) has begun testing food that previously identified levels of radioactive caesium.
FSANZ still believes that the risk is negligible, the new risk assessment has prompted further Radionuclicide testing by DAFF and new documentation requirements on all foods from these areas.
The following foods have previously been found to have positive results (although very low) for radioactive caesium, and will require further testing to ensure that all testing is consistent with that from other countries;
- Tea (fresh and dried)
- Dried mushrooms
- Fish (fresh, frozen or dried.)
The test results for all future imports of these foods will need to be "well below" the internationally accepted levels. Full Import Declarations will also be required for each of them.
These Declarations will be required to include the address of manufacturing, production and packing
Radionuclicide level testing is to be done by a nominated approved analyst and be paid by the importer. The results must be reported directly to DAFF.

Inerrancy is the enemy!
10 comments:
That's one thing that confuses me about those who want Christianity to fit what they already think and feel. Just leave/don't join if you don't like it. Do they even take seriously (at least as they see it) a "Christianity" they've created?ReplyDelete
Steve, if you haven't already, maybe in the future you can address the following:ReplyDelete
What would you say to, or how would you counsel a professing Christian who can't get himself to continue believing inerrancy because of what he perceives to be a real error or contradiction; or because he can't get himself convinced of any of the offered solutions to the problem? And because he hinges the truth of Christianity on inerrancy, he's now tempted to reject Christianity? Or is the question too vague? Would you need to address the specific problems?
But, what if it's not any particular problem but the weight of all the apparent problems that, because of their great number, weigh on him? Analogous to how many very small pebbles, while light individually, when placed in a bag can become very heavy because of the accumulated weight. As you know, some apostates claim that's precisely what happened to them.
For myself there are some Bible problems that I haven't found satisfactory solutions to. But they don't undermine my faith. Probably because [inter alia] 1. I'm too emotionally and existentially invested in Christianity [which you addressed HERE]; 2. I've had my own supernatural experiences which I interpret as sometimes having come from God, and others from evil spirits; 3. I'm aware enough of my intellectual limitations that it's not difficult for me to be humble enough to admit that I [and most humanity] could be missing something in any particular Biblical problem; 4. As a Calvinist I believe that God has inspired Scripture to enlighten the elect, but stumble the non-elect. I'm reminded of some quotes from Blaise Pascal's Pensées which I'll quote in a second comment. For the sake of others, since you've seen me cite them multiple times.
Not everyone is as emotionally and existentially attached to Christianity as I am. Or have had what he believes [rightly or wrongly] to have been supernatural experiences. Or intellectually limited enough to more easily admit he might be missing something. Or is a Calvinist who believes in some form of [hard or weak] reprobation whereby God providentially works positively and [or only] negatively to lead the non-elect away voluntarily. Whether it's a negative hands off form of preterition and passing over [in the decrees and providentially in time], or a more active and direct form of leading people into error. Also, I suspect you too would admit that your own negative experiences which appear to have been demonic attacks kind of reinforces your belief in God.Replies
The Pascal quotes:Delete
Willing to appear openly to those who seek him with all their heart, and to be hidden from those who flee from him with all their heart, God so regulates the knowledge of himself that he has given indications of himself which are visible to those who seek him and not to those who do not seek him. There is enough light for those to see who only desire to see, and enough obscurity for those who have a contrary disposition.
563 The prophecies, the very miracles and proofs of our religion, are not of such a nature that they can be said to be absolutely convincing. But they are also of such a kind that it cannot be said that it is unreasonable to believe them. Thus there is both evidence and obscurity to enlighten some and confuse others. But the evidence is such that it surpasses, or at least equals, the evidence to the contrary; so that it is not reason which can determine men not to follow it, and thus it can only be lust or malice of heart. And by this means there is sufficient evidence to condemn, and insufficient to convince; so that it appears in those who follow it, that it is grace, and not reason, which makes them follow it; and in those who shun it, that it is lust, not reason, which makes them shun it.
577 There is sufficient clearness to enlighten the elect, and sufficient obscurity to humble them. There is sufficient obscurity to blind the reprobate, and sufficient clearness to condemn them, and make them inexcusable.—Saint Augustine, Montaigne, Sébond.
574 All things work together for good to the elect, even the obscurities of Scripture; for they honour them because of what is divinely clear. And all things work together for evil to the rest of the world, even what is clear; for they revile such, because of the obscurities which they do not understand.
562 It will be one of the confusions of the damned to see that they are condemned by their own reason, by which they claimed to condemn the Christian religion.
576 God has made the blindness of this people subservient to the good of the elect.
BTW, in that previous blogpost of yours, I had planned on pointing out that sometimes the difference between a Christian who had doubts and falls away and another Christian who perseveres is that the latter was willing to do some apologetical investigation and study to find out if there are answers to the problem. I find that so many internet apostates bare did any research on the topics they claim led them away from Christianity. Because of intellectual laziness and/or because they weren't existentially invested in Christianity enough to sacrifice the time to study the apolgetical solutions available. Which, from our Christian point of view, is a moral failing. What you've called, if I recall, "self-reinforced ignorance". Often coupled with various confirmation biases and indirect doxastic voluntarism whereby they intentionally study the arguments against Christianity in order to convince themselves of its falsity. Though, they'll often claim they they were intellectually honest and courageous enough to follow where the evidence led.Delete
1. They should have a realistic expectation of what inerrancy looks like. Vern Poythress has a good model.Delete
2. They should have a realistic expectation about inevitable obscurities in a sacred anthology written by multiple authors in multiple genres over a c. 1500 year span c. 2000-3500 years ago.
3. They should appreciate as a practical matter that it boils down to Christianity or atheism, and atheism is never a viable fallback option. Consistent atheism commits the atheist to moral, existential, and epistemic nihilism.
4. They should prioritize the answers we need and the answers we want but can live without.
5. They should continue the spiritual disciplines of Christian faith, viz. prayer, Bible reading, hymns, Christian fellowship.
AWESOME RECOMMENDATIONS!!!! THANKS!Delete
6. What's puzzling is not how an inerrant ancient anthology might have some apparent errors at this distance from events but how an uninspired ancient anthology has so few.Delete
"Consistent atheism commits the atheist to moral, existential, and epistemic nihilism."ReplyDelete
A post expanding on these points would be utterly satisfying. If such post does not exist already. Just saying.Replies
There's 15 years worth of such posts. You can start with these:Delete
I read this quote recently at the beginning of chapter 13 of Gabriele Kuby's " The Global Sexual Revolution ", inerrancy obviously isn't the topic of the book, but I thought the quote appropriate here:ReplyDelete
"When we assume that people's actual behavior should be the standard for rescinding the positive laws of the Church, we run right back into the great secular error of our time: the idea that religion should be adapted to people, and not people to religion."
Dietrich von Hildebrand
This fellow is likely a Roman Catholic, as Kuby herself is, but I appreciated what he was getting at.

A Budget before the Elections
The budget presented by the Finance Minister (FM), Mr. Arun Jaitley, had all the elements of an election budget with greater focus on farmers, rural India and other social segments. Thus, while we cannot say that the budget managed to please all, at the same time, no bad news is good news for those skipped in this budget.
To begin with, the government's objective of doubling of farmer income by 2022 was on the FMs radar, as the budget unleashed its focus on the big rural theme, which was along expected lines. Thus, the government has proposed to keep the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for the all unannounced crops of Kharif at least at 1.5x of their production cost, a step aimed at giving a push to farmers' income. This proposal of the government has the potential to be inflationary in the current backdrop, which is already witnessing challenges from strengthening crude oil prices. Greater-than-expected upward pressure on inflation can threaten the interest rate cycle, which is currently in pause mode, and push it towards an upward trajectory, which could be detrimental for corporate / economic growth.
Amongst other measures, setting up of an Agri-Market Infrastructure Fund, doubling of allocation for the Ministry of Food Processing and focus on liberalization of agricommodities exports are all steps to aid the rural economy. Institutional credit target for the agriculture sector has been raised from Rs 10 lakh crore in FY18 to Rs 11 lakh crore for FY19. We believe that the government's focus over the next 4-6 quarters, in the run-up to the General Elections 2019 and several State Elections in between, would be on providing maximum opportunities in the rural areas by spending more on livelihood, agriculture and allied activities and construction of rural infrastructure.
Apart from rural, other key segments which the FM focused on in the budget were Education and Health. In fact, to step up investments in research and related infrastructure in premier educational institutions, including health institutions, the FM has proposed to launch a major initiative named ''Revitalising Infrastructure and Systems in Education (RISE) by 2022'' with a total investment of Rs 1 lakh crore in next 4 years through Higher Education Financing Agency (HEFA). Notably, more than Rs 30,000 crore has been earmarked to HEFA for FY19 as per the budget documents compared to Rs 250 crore in FY18.
In the Health sector, the government has proposed to launch a flagship National Health Protection Scheme to cover over 10 crore poor and vulnerable families (approximately 50 crore beneficiaries) providing coverage up to Rs 5 lakhs per family per year for secondary and tertiary care hospitalization. This is expected to be the world's largest government funded health care programme.
Various measures were also announced for another important segment of the Indian economy from the point of view of employment generation and contribution to economic growth – the Medium, Small and Micro Enterprises (MSMEs) segment. These included a 23% increase in lending target to Rs 3 lakh crore under the Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana and government's continued contribution towards EPF for all the sectors. Also, the benefit of 25% corporate tax rate, which was limited to companies with turnover of < Rs 50 crore, has been extended to companies with turnover of up to Rs 250 crore. This is expected to benefit the MSMEs, which account for ~99% of companies filing their tax returns, simultaneously providing them with some relief from the recent disruption caused by the implementation of GST.
On the Infrastructure front, the budget allocation has been hiked by ~22% for the Ministry of Railways and by ~52% (on a smaller base) for the Ministry of Civil Aviation. Also, considering that 'Housing for All' has been a key agenda of the current government, it got a further leg up in the budget, chiefly through the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, which saw a nearly 5x jump in allocation from ~Rs 6,000 crore in FY18 to Rs 31,500 crore in FY19 (including Internal & External Budgetary Resources).
All of the above announcements are aimed at giving a push to the rural economy, which in turn will lend a helping hand to revive the economy from the current sub-7% growth.
Apart from the above, there were some other important announcements to be noted in the budget.
The fiscal deficit for FY18 has been pegged at 3.5%, which is a 30bps miss from the government's intended target of 3.2%. Moreover, the fiscal deficit target for FY19 has been fixed at 3.3%, a 30bps deviation from the FRBM target of 3%. However, considering that the importance of enhanced public spending cannot be compromised at a time when private capex is showing little signs of revival, the government has opted to lead and choose growth over fiscal prudence for now.
On the taxation front, not much relief was provided on either the corporate or the personal income tax fronts. But, considering the pressure on government fiscal and the preference accorded to rural, health, education, housing and infrastructure spending, coupled with the uncertainties w.r.t. revenue collection targets (post-GST implementation), the FM was left with little options. Thus, while on the corporate tax rate front, MSMEs have been put in a favourable position in terms of tax rate as discussed above, not much was in store on the personal income tax front. While Standard Deduction has been re-introduced at Rs 40,000 for the salaried class in lieu of the present exemptions w.r.t. transport allowance and miscellaneous medical expenses, the Senior Citizen category of tax payers received some attention. However, on the flip-side, cess on corporate and personal income tax has been increased by 1% to 4% now.
Thus, netnet, while these changes would have little positive impact on the tax paying middle-income group, it is nonetheless an attempt to aid the consumption recovery in the economy. However, the big announcement, which was the most discussed but least expected, became a reality in this budget. Long Term Capital Gains (LTCG) has been introduced at 10% without indexation in the budget, while maintaining status quo on Securities Transaction Tax (STT) prevalent on equities, which was a surprise.
However, notably, only long term capital gains exceeding Rs 1 lakh will be taxed and all gains up to January 31, 2018 will be grandfathered. The grandfathering clause prevented a sharp knee-jerk reaction in the market. Further, a 10% tax on distributed income by equity oriented Mutual Funds has also been proposed in the budget. While these announcements are a negative for domestic equities considering that the investor will have to pay a 10% tax hereafter from a zero tax earlier, notwithstanding the short-term impact, any adverse impact of these on the medium-tolong- term inflows into direct equities or mutual funds is unlikely. The Short Term Capital Gains (STCG) tax has been maintained at 15%.
In conclusion, it was another fine balancing act by the Finance Minister in the backdrop of a challenging business / economic environment and with an eye on the busy election calendar ahead. Also, in our view, the Finance Minister did bite the bullet by sacrificing fiscal prudence in the interim to spur economic growth, despite the fiscal constraints.

Hi Guys,
There is an example about the sensorless speed control,the link is Example Model: S12ZVM FOC Sensorless Motor Control , and Can provide a basic theory document about the example?
Hi Guys,
There is an example about the sensorless speed control,the link is Example Model: S12ZVM FOC Sensorless Motor Control , and Can provide a basic theory document about the example?
Please have a look here: http://www.nxp.com/files-static/training/doc/ftf/2014/FTF-AUT-F0232.pdf
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Hi Daniel,
My friend ,First,thank you for your reply!
Next,i have some doubts,and hope you can solve it for me.
#1:I download the file that the link you sent me,and the content in the page 40 (shown as below),is not so clear and there is some overlap.
and if you can send a clear file to me?
#2: I don't know how to deduce the transfer function in the Part A (shown as below).
#3:About the model of S12ZVM_FOC_Sensorless,shown as below, i wanna make sure the IdEObsrv(Part A shown) and IqEObsrv(Part B shown) is EMF or not ? i thought is EMF, my reason ,EMF contains the position and speed of rotor, to get the Postion of the rotor using the arctan() Function,namely Theat=arctan(EAlpha/EBeta),
and there is another doubt that the -1*2^15 in Part C,why we multiplied the -1*2^15 with IdEObsrv?
#4:Shown as below,how to deduce the id_frac_est = (ud_frac*K1_n + w_n*iq_frac*K2_n + ed_frac*K3_n + id_frac_est*K4_n)?
I don't know how to deduce it,and the id_frac_est is deduced form EMF?
and the attachment is the model of S12ZVM FOC Sensorless Motor Control.
Hi Eden Li,
Please allow me some time to find the appropriate files and to prepare the answers to your questions.
Stay tune!
Best regards,
Hi Eden Li,
For #1, i'm still waiting for the originator of the presentation to sent me the ppt version since that is an animation.
For #2, that transfer function represents the closed loop computation for a first order RL system controlled via a PI controller (1st order)
Since it's quite a pain to write all the math in html i'm attaching a picture with computations. Please excuse my hand-writing.
For #3 and #4 i will reply separatly
Hi Eden Li,
I have received the material for #1
Stage 1: represent the closed loop control implementation. The QUESTION ??? is how to compute the controller parameters if you know the plant model?
Stage 2: Based on control system theory both the plant==motor electrical model==Grl(s) and the current controller==Gpi(s) are 1st order transfer functions
Stage 3: if you perform the computations shown in https://community.nxp.com/thread/450679#comment-904019
then you'll get the closed loop transfer function for each current loop.
Best regards,

Along with the official debut of Nike's top ultra-drug front section II Phantom II, the top section of the Phinish also listed. First to note is that, Nike Hypervenom Phantom belongs to the top models in the generation drug front, in the second generation to upgrade to super top models, while Phinish is a new top-name models. Nike Hypervenom II the whole are graded respectively Nike Hypervenom Phantom II, Phinish, Phatal II, Phelon II and Phade. "Phinish" quite mind the name, taken from the "Finish" homonym, meaning lore, the ultimate blow to highlight poison designed for front lock on attacking players and set attributes. Rooney has been on the top models in the game foot poison Feng II Phinish, artificial turf for AG version has also been used in Nike's official online city, already offer new appreciation for everyone in advance, and then enter the following data link analysis. First wolf gray + bright orange color with texture and yet with a kind of show strength, fully fit Nike 2015 fall newest "Silver Storm" theme. Sawtooth-shaped pieces plus the "beast's belly" body color pattern from venomous animals, reflecting the deadly poison Feng II ferocious character. The poison front Phinish also continued the Nike soccer shoes top models do not use shoes collar tradition, it is Rooney's favorite. Nike Hypervenom ii top uppers basic configuration and generation are similar from the inside of Microfiber Nikeskin + + in the middle of a hot-melt film from the surface of the accord, but the second generation of additional acquisition of fixed fly line. Neri Microfiber nothing special, the main role of fixed shoes. The Nikeskin the improvement is very large, the conventional three-dimensional honeycomb texture gone, replaced by a preparation of very dense and even mistaken for a microfiber fabric. You may wish to have contact with the physical, pressing with a finger when there will be "creak" sound, you will understand that this is the fabric. Designers also thought quite a lot in the surface of the embossing lines cross, and its role is to raise the upper friction, then there is conducive to the feet of curved and enhance flexibility. Soccer shoes fabric material is inseparable from the hot melt film, first, to enhance the strength of the fabric, the second is waterproof. Feng II poison hot-melt film than the previous several shoes to be thick, and designed astringent sense of very strong matte texture. Fly line also appears in the body of the second generation drug front, and several previously shoes have thick, to three-dimensional, but some more sparsely arranged. Fly line is to enhance the role of sense of the parcel, the upper support, and in front of the second-generation drugs who also played a certain role to enhance friction. According to their arrangement will bulge when the soles of the feet and the bent portion is provided, reducing the feeling of force due to deformation of the feet and loss. In summary, the second generation of shoe design front poison to us sends a strong signal - the pursuit of more power outbreak, either start or goal. Poison front shoe and the second generation of the same generation, but it is clear to many second-generation looks better than a generation full, from the side it seems even on a kind of round bulging feeling than the other three series have come "rich state." You can see that the toe is very full, income is not obvious in the waist, followed by continuation of the curvature of the fine tradition of Nike, rounded sexy. The reason why such stereotypes in place, thanks to improvements in the fabric, and then elaborate on below. We look at a plan view, the outer toe is still based on foot shape of Europe needs adduction obvious, but wins in the above-toe styling comes full enough, not afraid of the big toe upturned. Forefoot width and gratifying waist, wide leg can not say easily manage, but compatible ratio poison front generation is much better.

Primary victories by Democratic and Republican lawmakers who took tough votes in favor of pension reform and gay rights showed they can survive, but it won't be easy.
"I was a political leper for a while for a lot of people," said Rep. Ron Sandack, R-Downers Grove, who claimed a 160-vote win despite opponents labeling him too liberal.
Sandack, a former Downers Grove mayor, said his win carried broader implications for his party and all lawmakers who choose to succumb to "politically expedient" and safe positions on contentious issues to avoid stirring a voter backlash at the polls.
Fellow Republican Rep. Ed Sullivan Jr. of Mundelein easily won even though he voted for a pension overhaul and same-sex marriage.
"I hope it signals to the broader Republican base that we can win elections and expand our party on substance and content," Sandack said.
Sandack's opponent, Aurora schoolteacher and Downers Grove school board member Keith Matune, conceded Wednesday.
Democratic candidates, including several incumbents, faced their own challenges in the primary even with the help of party bosses.
Voters knocked out Reps. Derrick Smith and Maria Antonia "Toni" Berrios, even though each received more than $70,000 from Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan.
Smith, the West Side incumbent who was elected to the House in 2012 despite facing federal bribery charges, lost to attorney Pamela Reaves-Harris in a five-person race.
Reaves-Harris said voters "want candidates who will stand up for them and their interests."
"They said to me ... 'Yeah, yeah, all you politicians are the same. You're with us when you campaign, then forget about us when you go to Springfield,'" Reaves-Harris said. "I'm going to prove that I'm not like that and that I do care. This district needs reform."
Berrios, the daughter of Madigan ally and Cook County Assessor Joe Berrios, faced union opposition over her support for a half-dozen pieces of legislation, even though she sided with unions in voting against the pension overhaul bill that passed.
A state representative since 2003, Berrios fell to challenger Will Guzzardi, who narrowly lost to Berrios two years ago and saw a surge of support in the Logan Square neighborhood, which has witnessed changing demographics and an influx of younger voters.
Madigan also suffered a notable loss Downstate. Champaign attorney Sam Rosenberg, who received more than $63,000 from Madigan's campaign funds, lost to Urbana City Council member Carol Ammons for an open seat in the state House.
Still, the state party chairman won more than he lost in contested Democratic primaries.
Voting in favor of the pension bill and same-sex marriage put a target on rookie Rep. Jaime Andrade Jr. He was appointed last year to replace Deb Mell when she took her father's spot on the Chicago City Council.
With support from Madigan and former Ald. Richard Mell, who still holds the 33rd Ward committeeman post, Andrade had one of the best-organized machines left in the city working on his side. He ended up with 50 percent of the vote in a five-way race.
Freshman Rep. Christian Mitchell also voted for the new laws that rewrite pension benefits for public workers and legalize same-sex marriage. He became a major target of the Chicago Teachers Union in a district where one prominent resident is union President Karen Lewis.
The unofficial totals showed Mitchell, who declared victory, with 53 percent to 47 percent for challenger Jay Travis, who raised a series of allegations about voter irregularities and refused to concede Wednesday.
"I just want to make sure the democratic process works," Travis said.
Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, a Mitchell supporter, dismissed Travis' complaints as "delusional."
Madigan also scored big victories Downstate.
In southern Illinois, former Jackson County Sheriff Bill Kilquist, of Murphysboro, used more than $120,000 of Madigan money to defeat Tony Mayville. Madigan is looking to add to his veto-proof majority by claiming the seat, which is open because Republican Mike Bost is running for Congress.
The speaker also poured in more than $70,000 to back one-term incumbent Democrat Sue Scherer of Decatur, who squeaked by in a primary challenge from Gina Lathan.

Home elevators range in size, from 12-18 sq. feet. Hydraulic elevators tend to require a bit more space to make room for the elevator's motor. A pneumatic elevator requires only enough space for the cab itself. Hydraulic elevators can be concealed from view, with various appearance options. Pneumatic elevators are usually clear plastic or glass. Pneumatic elevators are smaller than shaft elevators, allowing installation in tighter spaces.

Apple receives patent for iPad Smart Covers with new features
Other uses of the Smart Cover include folding the case in a certain manner that turns it into a stand for watching video. While that can be done with today's Smart Cover, the patented model includes controls that can be handled by reaching around to touch the stand. One version of the case would appear to use a solar panel to collect power for the iPad, while another would have a touchscreen and QWERTY keyboard embedded in a flap.
We don't know how close we are to seeing these new features available for the Apple Smart Cover, but with the patents now belonging to Apple, we might not be terribly far away. By the way, the name of the patent is "Cover Attachment with Flexible Display."

Though most faculty members have still not fully embraced teaching exclusively online courses, many are using technology in an attempt to enhance student-centered instruction, according to the results of a new survey conducted by the Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA.
These findings are among some of the most interesting insights provided by the 2013-2014 HERI Undergraduate Teaching Faculty Survey, which is based on responses from over 16,000 full-time undergraduate teaching faculty members at 269 four-year colleges and universities.
In addition to new questions for faculty about their perceptions of campus climate and their sexual orientation and gender identity, the study also focused on assessing experiences with academic advising and the commitment of teachers to the spiritual development of students. Also, the study featured a module that was specifically aimed at teachers in STEM fields.
Overall, the results represent an expansive view of the current relationship between teaching and technology. Though faculty seem willing to embrace change to some degree and use new technology to enhance their existing practices, they are less keen on relying on fully online formats.
But just how stark are the actual statistics?
(Next Page: See the statistics and learn more about what's inside the HERI survey)
According to the survey, the percentage of teachers who have taught at least one exclusively online course has not risen dramatically since the last survey, which was conducted in 2012, rising from 14 percent to only 17.4 percent.
However, among that 17.4 percent, there is a split between teachers from public vs. private institutions. At four-year public colleges, 27.2 percent of undergraduate faculty reported that they have taught an exclusively online course, whereas only 8.5 percent of teachers at private universities have done the same.
Faculty are also using technology, such as YouTube and other videos in the classroom. 50 percent of all faculty said they incorporate it 'occasionally,' and 36 percent of professors do so 'frequently.' About 16 percent of professors 'frequently' ask their students to contribute to online discussion boards, while 34 percent 'occasionally' do.
However, access to resources is restricted for adjuncts, notes the survey: Across institutions, just 40 percent have access to a personal computer, and 36 percent to an official phone or voicemail. Most (95 percent) do have a university email account. Yet, just 14 percent have access to professional development funds.
Other major findings reveal that, overall, teachers are embracing new teaching and learning methods, many of which can be supported by use of technology.
For example, many teachers say they placing great emphasis on the individual student in their classrooms [personalized learning], a trend which has been continually rising for the last 25 years. Teachers are shifting their styles to "promote critical thinking skills by providing collaborative learning environments, opportunities for reflection, self-evaluation, and student-driven selection of coursework."
Faculty are also beginning to embrace peer evaluation for course work, a trend that has tippled from 10 percent in 1989-1990 to 28 percent in this year's survey. Additionally, faculty reliance on group projects and cooperative learning are the highest they've ever been, at 45.5 percent and 60.7 percent respectively.
Conversely, faculty use of lecturing has dropped by more than 5 percent since 1989. Now, only 50.6 percent of faculty lecture regularly, which represents a major shift towards faculty trying out new approaches in order to keep students engaged.
For more information on the survey, as well as data on diversity concerns, adjunct resources, and faculty-administration relations, read the full report here.

Men's PFG Tamiami™ Shorts is rated out of 5 by 15.
Rated 5 out of 5 by CincinnatiGator from Best (Fishing) Shorts Ever I bought these to go fly fishing for smallmouth bass in my local river, but I find myself wearing them for a lot of other reasons. Walking, for example, because they're so comfortable. Or for going out with the spouse, because they're so good looking. They fit well and function perfectly. A great buy!

mysterious newly rich figure, named Gatsby, threw the most extravagant parties where hundreds of people joined him to have a good time. No one in West Egg had ever met this man or knew why he threw the biggest parties every weekend. To be sincere no one really cared because this man's mysteriousness contributed to the jubilant environment of party and relaxation people enjoyed. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" serves as a good title for his work because Gatsby shows his greatness at a deeper level

The Great Gatsby In discussions of great characters throughout literature, a controversial issue is whether Jay Gatsby deserves to be called great. Human greatness can be defined as an extraordinary person who reveals the limits of human potential. I believe greatness encompasses these qualities: consistent honesty, unconditional kindness and friendliness, and individualism. While it can be argued that Gatsby's greatness stems from his wealth and extravagant lifestyle, I contend that Jay Gatsby
The Great Gatsby Final Essay The American Dream has been Shattered The American Dream is a belief, a desire, and an illusion. In the 19th century, people all over the world immigrated to America hoping for a better life. They cherished this ideal that with their unremitting efforts and fighting spirit they can live a better life. However, the American Dream is a strong belief that everyone has the opportunity to achieve their goals and become rich and prosperous if they only work hard enough. F
The extract taken from Fitzgeralds Gatsby is at the end of the novel. It is where the narrator is reflecting over the events of the past year and particularly Jay Gatsbys past year. Gatsby is a man in his 30s who seems to be retired and has a large expensive house on the waterfront of the east coast of America and hosts grand parties every weekend. To a great extent he is an unknown quantity. The novel is about Jay Gatsby and his desire to be acquainted with Daisy the love of his life before he
known as the Roaring Twenties, was arguably the most prominent and enjoyable time in American history. The Great Gatsby, written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, tells the journey of Nick Carraway, the narrator. Nick lives in West Egg, a part of Long Island, New York and is intrigued by his neighbor, Jay Gatsby. The two eventually become friends, and Nick learns the untold life of Jay Gatsby. The Great Gatsby, a novel written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, displays a very accurate portrayal of the prominent time in America
believe that The Great Gatsby was the most influential of the two books that we were to read. My reasoning behind this is simple: both the future and the past cannot be changed, but at least from the past, lessons can be learned. Although the future that Anthem lays on the table is intriguing, the way that F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel weaves together the perks and flaws of human nature as it correlates to the turbulent 1920s in America, is fantastic. The main characters of The Great Gatsby are interesting
Bekah Dahlman Professor Roche English 104W 24 July 2015 The Great Gatsby In The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald utilizes many universal themes to make a classic novel, explaining the life in 1920's. In the novel, well-off citizens live everyday without care, celebrate every weekend by getting drunk and overall just live a reckless lifestyle. The way these people live is represented in the novel by Fitzgerald, who emphasizes the life of Nick Carrway, a single stockbroker living in New York
Great Gatsby Essay In the book "The Great Gatsby", the character Jay Gatsby is depicted as this wealthy and powerful man of the upper class. Jay Gatsby represents the American dream in the view of he was born in to a lower class family that had nothing going for them, and through hard work and determination he made it to the top, to become a powerful, rich, smart, and strong man of the upper class. Through the book, the life of Jay Gatsby shows his hard work and determination to get to the top
word hero defines Gatsby in so many ways; Gatsby is the hero in The Great Gatsby. Gatsby will do anything to gain what he wishes, Gatsby has waited a very long time and now he must strike. A hero like Gatsby cannot get what he wants without help. Gatsby must gain trust and kindness from a person before he can complete what has started, and that someone is Nick. Gatsby needs Nick otherwise he cannot conquer the final land he still has not. This is the main topic that The Great Gatsby revolves around

Polish scientists isolate coronavirus from patient zero sample
Polish scientists have isolated and characterised the SARS-CoV-2 virus from a sample taken from the first person diagnosed with coronavirus infection in Poland.
The research has been carried out by a team of scientists from the Małopolskie Centre of Biotechnology at the Jagiellonian University in cooperation with the National Institute of Public Health - National Institute of Hygiene (NIZP-PZH) in Warsaw.
Studies to isolate the SARS-CoV-2 virus from subsequent patients are in progress.
"This type of research is very important in tracking the development of the epidemic and has great scientific value," NIZP-PZH Director Grzegorz Juszczyk has told PAP.
Juszczyk added that characteristics of the virus strains appearing in Poland will allow the tracking of the spread of the epidemic and identification of virus changes over time, as well as provide the possibility to quickly respond to such changes.
The director said that the observation of changes can be important in the development of drugs, treatment regimes and the diagnosis of infections.
"Isolating the virus will also allow better understanding of its biology," said Juszczyk. He announced that the genome sequence would be available in public databases in the near future.
