House Prefects
Welcome to
Endeavour House's
section of the website.
Welcome back to all Endeavour students in Years 8 to 11 – I hope you all had a great summer holiday and have come back ready and raring to go!
A very warm welcome to all our new Year 7 students – I'm sure you will settle in to Endeavour and JSTC very quickly and we look forward to celebrating all your achievements.
Last year was very successful for Endeavour students and listed below are a number of the accomplishments and accolades the students received.
If you have any information of any personal successes (particularly those outside of college e.g. sporting performances or drama productions) that you would like mentioned on the Endeavour section of the website, please email details to
and we will do our best to add them.
I look forward to working with you all again and to this year being even more successful than the last!
House motto:
Reach Your Goal

House charity:
Tanzania Rural Revival (see below for more detail)
Endeavour means to try or attempt to do something and I hope that this will come to signify the attitude of all students within the House.
Mrs Steadman, the team of dedicated tutors and I will strive to create an atmosphere in which each and every student within the House feels supported and encouraged to achieve their personal best, both academically and personally.
I hope that all students will feel encouraged to experience all opportunities open to them within the college, and take the increased personal confidence this will bring into their lives outside of college.
What is the House System?
At John Spendluffe there are three houses –
. Each student is allocated to one of these houses and is placed into a House Tutor Group with other students from their house. There are nine tutor groups within each House – each consisting around 23 students from across all year groups. Brothers and sisters are, wherever possible, placed into the same house as each other.
The purpose of the House system is to engender a spirit of community, participation and healthy competition. Students can contribute to their House totals in a number of ways both in and out of the classroom - performance in lessons in terms of achievement, effort and even attendance can all earn House Points. Competition is important and a number of inter-house competitions will be held throughout the year.
Endeavour House Charity
Endeavour are pleased to have selected the 'Tanzania Rural Revival' as their chosen charity. All proceeds from House fund raising activities (e.g. the sale of green ribbons) will go towards providing school dormitories for students in Tanzania that would otherwise not have the opportunity to attend school.
We are also proud to have contributed towards providing a 'Shelter Box' which has been sent to Haiti following the recent earthquake.

From the Archives: Transcribing Germanic Fonts
The Marian Library and U.S. Catholic Special Collection in Roesch Library have hundreds of vintage holy cards. Holy cards were first produced in Europe in the nineteenth century as a way to mass-produce images of saints and religious themes, and were extremely popular with Catholics around the world. We've recently begun digitizing some of the oldest and rarest of the holy cards in our collection so that they can be viewed at Digital@UDayton.
To make the text on each holy card searchable, we need to transcribe it. With most holy cards, this is an easy process—just type out what is on the card. But what happens when the text on a holy card looks like this?
Fraktur is a form of Blackletter, or Gothic script, that was used in Germany until around World War II. Take a look at the front of this holy card—do you think you can figure out what all of the letters are?
One challenge when transcribing German is that some of the characters are not letters that we use in English. In the third word on the front, "gegrüßt," there is what is called a Sharp S (ß), a consonant that is only used in German. Other letters just look completely different in the Fraktur font than they do in our regular scripts.
|So to transcribe these cards, we used a bit of guesswork and a bit of Google. We entered what we thought was the correct transcription at http://translate.google.com, and if we were right, it was translated to an English word that made sense. When we were wrong, Google would sometimes give suggested spellings. Some words took three or four tries to get right.
Check out the holy cards we have online at http://digital.udayton.edu/cdm/search/collection/holycards, and see if your transcription matches what we came up with in the translation section.

For the third time in just two years, England and Australia are set to do battle in one of the oldest contests across all professional sport. The two arch rivals last competed for the famous little urn in 2013/14 in Australia, where the hosts ran out 5-0 winners, with England triumphing 3-0 on home shores a matter of months earlier. While the Aussies are still led by former batsman Darren Lehmann, who masterminded his country's whitewash of the "poms" 18 months ago, England have recently turned to an Australian as coach for the first time, and they'll be hoping that the inside info Trevor Bayliss can provide will help them regain the Ashes over the coming six weeks. To find out which players you need to keep an eye on this summer in addition to a likely less than accurate prediction, just keep reading.
Key Batsman, England – Alistair Cook
Aside from 2010/11, when Cook averaged over 100 as he flayed the Australian attack to all parts, the England skipper has struggled with the bat during the Ashes throughout his career, beginning with the 2006/7 whitewash all the way through to another 5-0 reverse last time out. Cook appears to be nearing his best after a run of good scores both in the Caribbean and at home to New Zealand last month, and with his tormentor in chief Ryan Harris having retired due to his chronic knee injuries captain Cook will have the opportunity to lead from the front and give the three lions the chance to build commanding totals, something they were unable to do in Australia last year.
Key Batsman, Australia – David Warner
Steve Smith may be the number one batsman in world cricket, but it's Warner who has the ability to take a test away from the opposition in a single session. At his best a hard-hitting force to be reckoned with, Warner made a name for himself in the last Ashes series by mercilessly targeting the England bowlers in the third and fourth innings of tests. Warner infamously swung for the golden boy of English cricket, Joe Root, the last time Australia toured the northern hemisphere, and his success at the top of the order could pave the way for the likes of Smith and Australia captain Michael Clarke to dominate from the middle of the batting line-up.
Key Bowler, England – Moeen Ali
Prior to his England test call-up Ali had always been a batsman who bowled, however that has all changed in the past twelve months as his country has asked him to shoulder the spin bowling load while batting from the lowly position of eight in the batting order. Ali remains a better batman than bowler, yet if England are to be successful they'll need Ali to hold up an end at the very least while Cook rotates his seamers from the other end. Ali underwhelmed in the West Indies earlier this year – however he enjoyed his most success as a test bowler during the home series against India a year ago which could bode well for the man with one of cricket's most recognisable beards.
Key Bowler, Australia – Mitchell Johnson
It couldn't really be anyone else, could it? Fearsome Mitch troubled the England batsmen to such an extent in the previous series that he took 37 wickets, a stark contrast to his other two Ashes series when he struggled to locate his searing pace. While the wickets won't be as fast in England as they were in Australia Johnson still has the heat to cause England serious problems, and it'll be clear from his first prolonged spell whether or not scars remain from the 2013/14 whitewash.
Australia enter the series as clear favourites, yet they haven't won in England since 2001 and home advantage may well be worth a test match or two to the hosts during this series. Both teams contain world class players, including Smith, Clarke and Johnson on the visiting side and Cook, Bell and Anderson for England. Yet Australia's depth is where they stand out; the likes of Nathan Lyon and Mitchell Starc are top level players, while Mark Wood and Adam Lyth are comparative novices. For England to match their opponents they'll need to perform to their absolute best – and even then it might not be enough. Australia 3, England 2

RALEIGH � A bill requiring North Carolina state workers to check the criminal history of welfare and food stamp recipients has passed a Senate panel.
A Senate judiciary committee unanimously endorsed the bill Tuesday, sending it on to another panel. The bill requires social services employees to see whether applicants or returning beneficiaries are fleeing from the law or violating parole.
A previous version required employees to immediately report red flags to local law enforcement, but the latest iteration requires social services to adopt rules for sharing that information first. The change arose out of concerns about complying with federal law.
Legislative staffers say the federal government already requires states to deny benefits to people with violations that are targeted by the bill. Critics have said the bill unfairly profiles welfare recipients.

What is Presence?
As a Mac user, your Presence consists of your social update and availability.
Social update
Your social update is a personal note that lets other people know what's happening today. Your social update appears below your contact if added to a contact list. To add your social update:
- In the Lync main window, click the box below your name that says, "Click to create a personal status message."
- Type a note, such as "Working from home" or "Working on a deadline, please IM instead of stopping by."
- Hit enter or return on your keyboard.
- Your social update will not change unless you change it. For example, if you enter "At home with sick kids," you will want to delete that message when it is no longer valid. To remove a social update, clear the note box so it's blank (delete the contents of the note box).
- If you set up an out-of-office message in Outlook, your out-of-office message will override your social update and appear below your contact.
By default, Lync will determine your availability based on the calendar associated with your KU account and your computer activity. If you are in a meeting on your calendar, you will appear "Busy." If you have walked away from your computer for more than 5 minutes, you will appear "Away."
To override this default and specify your own availability:
- Open Lync 2011 and, in the Lync main window, click the availability dropdown menu under your name, and then select a different status, such as Busy.
To reset or return to having your availability determined by your calendar:
- Open Lync 2011 and, in the Lync main window, click the availability dropdown menu under your name, then click Reset Status.
Here are the available presence statuses and what they mean:

A lot of people tell me that they're not sure what to say on Twitter, or that they don't think they have ANYTHING worthwhile to tweet.
With Twitter announcing it has 10 million active UK users, you're probably thinking that you'd like to get into using it, if you're not already. If you can't quite find your voice, these suggestions might help you get started.
The most important things to think about are your followers and your objectives
Who do you want to follow you?
Make your tweets interesting or useful to them. Think about your candidates, industry colleagues and peers, clients or other stakeholders.
Why have you signed up to a social site like Twitter?
Do you want to get more clients, find more candidates, make friends, meet new people in your area, learn about something, or all of the above?
Answers to these two questions will help you generate ideas of what to talk about. Here are some of my thoughts, not all of them will suit you, your followers or your objectives.
If you tweet as a brand:
Links to job vacancies
This is probably what a job seeker really wants. It's not very engaging to someone passive though. A lot of brands find it helpful to have two twitter accounts. One sending out only jobs and the other for conversation and other interesting tweets. It's important to be transparent to your followers – if one twitter account tweets nothing but jobs, make that clear and tell people where they can interact with you elsewhere. e.g. @TescoCareers and @Get2KnowTesco
Make the most of Twitter Memes like #FollowFriday and #CharityTuesday
#FollowFriday has probably been around for as long as the hashtag itself! Mentioning a person and adding this hashtag lets your followers know that they might want to follow that person. It is often shortened to #ff. e.g
For the best in Social Media jobs & some great recruitment info #FF @cloudninerec
— JJ Miller (@Love_London) May 18, 2012
Does your business support a charity? The #CharityTuesday tag has a big community of fundraisers and charity types – they will probably retweet you and generally share the love if you talk about your charity work or give a shout-out to the Twitter account of a charity you support (on a Tuesday, of course). e.g.
We have now raised £185,014.22 for @HelpforHeroes Help us reach our £200,000 target here bit.ly/xUCsBv #charitytuesday — vauxhall (@vauxhall) May 15, 2012
Links to blog posts or other useful social content from your company
Does your company have a blog (or several)? You might have a YouTube channel already. This is great content with real human voices from inside your business. You can share this with your twitter followers by tweeting links to this content.
Answer questions
If your followers aren't sending you questions yet, search for people asking some that you might be able to help with. Alternatively, you could tweet the answers to questions that you often get asked by candidates during the recruitment process.
Interesting industry news
What are the best sources of news in your industry? Who are the biggest bloggers? Subscribe to their RSS feeds (I recommend using Google Reader for this) and pick out the best news to tweet for your followers.
Every industry has conferences, expos and networking events. Are you sponsoring one? Is someone from your company going to be speaking at an event? Are your employees going to be attending? Find out if the event has a Twitter account and/or a #hashtag then interact with the event and other attendees on Twitter. Ask those going to the event to send you a photo or send some tweets from the company account. If they're tweeting from the event, do they mind being retweeted by you?
Local Info
Are you based in one particular location? Are your offices based in one country or are you global? If you are based in one place, tweeting about local news can make you seem more real and engage the local community. If you are a global brand, showcasing this with views from your different offices or details about local holidays can really highlight your diversity.
Awards and Achievements
What is your company great at? Have you got any awards? Have you just won a great contract? Let your Twitter followers share in your celebration. e.g.
Capgemini UK one of The Times 50 Employers for Women 2012 ow.ly/aVrEC
— Capgemini UK People (@CapgeminiUKppl) May 15, 2012
Competitions or freebies
This can work well if you want to grow a following more quickly. Offer people something in exchange for following you or in exchange for tweeting about something. Make sure you target the right people though – a tweet in exchange for an industry white paper can work well. Take a look at Pay with a Tweet.
If you tweet as a human being
Talk to your peers and industry thought leaders
Twitter is a great way to network. If you're engaging with well-networked individuals in your industry then they're more likely to help you out or recommend you when someone is looking for a new job.
What you are working on today
Are you looking for Supply Chain experts or are you arranging interviews for Product Managers? It will help people get a feel for what you do and the kind of people you recruit for. The occasional tweet like this is a very subtle way of reminding people what you do.
Your passions
People respond to passion. I get far more @replies when I talk about things like Star Trek, Cheese or Percy Pig sweets because people know I'm passionate about those things. It's also easier to speak to someone for the first time if it's not about something work related. Once you've exchanged tweets about a charity or good cause, it's more likely you'll talk again about something work related next time.
Your thoughts and opinions on hot topics or industry issues
When sharing links to news and blogs you can add your own thoughts, this helps set you up as an expert too. Add value with your own insights rather than just tweeting a link and a headline.
Answer questions
People remember those that help them out, even if you only point them to someone else that will be able to help them. Be helpful whenever you can on Twitter.
Ask questions
People love to feel helpful. Ask people to recommend a tool or for their opinion on a topic of interest. Try not to ask something that's easy to find out on Google though – that's just lazy.
Join in with an event's backchannel on Twitter by tweeting other attendees and sharing your thoughts with the event's #hashtag. This will help grow your Twitter network with relevant industry people and meet more people face to face. A "nice to meet you" tweet can encourage a mutually beneficial Twitter follow.
Are you off out to celebrate a big placement? Is there cake in the office because it's someone's birthday? Tell the world – and don't forget to take a picture of that cake!
Sharing life's minute detail might seem trivial, but it's what adds up to make a person real. You'd be surprised how much response I get when I tweet something mundane about my socks!
Twitter Chats
Twitter Chats usually centre around a hashtag and take place at the same time every week. A tool like Twubs can help you keep up with the tweets and send your own thoughts. You might be interested in #JobHuntChat, #CareerChat, #HFChat (Hire Friday) or #CHRChat (Connecting HR).
Different things appeal to different people and unless you start tweeting you won't find out what your followers respond to. You also need to embrace the fact that it might take some time for people to notice you. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, it leaves you free to make mistakes, experiment and generally push the limits on what to share without annoying anyone. You might just stumble on something great!

Zaha Hadid passed away unexpectedly today, suffering a heart attack in a Miami hospital where she was being treated for bronchitis. She was 65.
It would be disingenuous for me to claim I was an admirer of Hadid's oeuvre. Doubtless she was an important figure within contemporary architecture, and in many ways a pioneer. As an Iraqi-born woman working in a field dominated by white men, Hadid overcame numerous obstacles to achieve rare prominence among her peers. Other women had enjoyed moderate success as builders, like the urban planner Catherine Bauer and the architect Eileen Gray, but never won the accolades Hadid did in her lifetime. Non-Western architects have likewise made only modest headway in the modern period. Gabriel Guévrékian, of Persian-Armenian origin, was one of the founders of CIAM in 1928, while the Chinese-born architect I.M. Pei perhaps alone can claim to rival Hadid's accomplishments.
To be perfectly honest, I was much more torn up about the 2012 death of Lebbeus Woods. But he'd been sick for a long time. Woods was something of a mentor to Hadid when she was first starting out in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Her early architectural delineations — or "paintings," as she called them — were often quite impressive on a formal level. She worked in much the same speculative vein as Woods or Daniel Libeskind. Incidentally, before he died, Woods devoted a short essay split up into three posts on his blog, all of which analyzed Hadid's drawings:
Hadid's work of the eighties was paradoxical. From one perspective, it seemed to be a postmodern effort to strike out in a new direction by appropriating the tectonic languages of an earlier epoch — notably Russian avant-garde at the time of the Revolution — but in a purely visual, imagistic way: the political and social baggage had been discarded. This gave her work an uncanny effect. The drawings and architecture they depicted were powerfully asserting something, but just what the something was, in traditional terms, was unclear. However, from another perspective this work seemed strongly rooted in modernist ideals: its obvious mission was to reform the world through architecture. Such an all-encompassing vision had not been seen since the 1920s. Zaha alluded to this when she spoke about "the unfinished project" of modernism that she clearly saw her work carrying forward. With this attitude she fell into the anti-postmodern (hardly popular) camp championed by Jürgen Habermas. Understandably, people were confused about what to think, but one thing was certain: what they saw looked amazing, fresh and original, and was an instant sensation.
Studying the drawings from this period, we find that fragmentation is the key. Animated bits and pieces of buildings and landscapes fly through the air. The world is changing. It breaks up, scatters, and reassembles in unexpectedly new, yet uncannily familiar forms. These are the forms of buildings, of cities, places we are meant to inhabit, clearly in some new ways, though we are never told how. We must be clever enough, or inventive enough, to figure it out for ourselves — the architect gives no explicit instructions, except in the drawings. Maybe we, too, must psychically fragment, scatter, and reassemble in unexpected new configurations of thinking and living. Or, maybe the world, in its turbulence and unpredictability, has already pushed us in this direction.
Like Libeskind, but unlike Woods, Hadid eventually transitioned from paper architecture to the realm of built objects. Receiving major commissions around the world, she began to cultivate a complex, curvilinear, and organic style. Patrik Schumacher, her theoretical spokesperson, called it "parametricism." Aided by new digital programs, which could calculate the area of contoured surfaces, Hadid developed a biomorphic expressionism that became her trademark. My opinion of these later structures is considerably lower than it is of her earlier, more suprematist-inflected buildings. I quite like the Vitra Fire Station in Weil am Rhein, as well as the Rosenthal Center in Cincinnati. Essentially I agree with Woods here: "In one sense, [computer-aided design] liberated Zaha, enabling her to create the unprecedented forms that have, by the present day, become her signature. In another, it brought an end to a certain intimacy and feel of tentative, almost hesitant expectancy, in her drawings and designs, that was part of the intense excitement they generated."
Below I am appending some extremely hi-res images of Zaha's drawings. Longish essays by Hal Foster and Gevork Hartoonian, both insightful and making similar points about the prioritization of image and spectacle over building and tectonics, also follow.

The Art-Architecture
Complex (2012)
In the last decade, Zaha Hadid has advanced from a vanguard figure in architecture schools to a celebrity architect with credibility enough in boardrooms to have several big buildings completed and several other projects launched. This upswing began in 2003 when her Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati, her first structure in the United States, opened to wide acclaim, and it was confirmed in 2005 when her BMW plant center in Leipzig, which proved her ability to design for industry, was completed. In 2004 Hadid won the prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize — the first woman to be so honored — and in 2006 she received a retrospective of thirty years of her work (paintings as well as designs) at the Guggenheim Museum. More recently, her Museum of XXI Arts (MAXXI) in Rome appeared to warm reviews in 2009, and there are other large commissions in the works, including office buildings and cultural complexes in the Middle East, an opera house in Guangzhou, and an aquatic center for the 2012 Olympics in London. Hadid can no longer be dismissed, as her critics were once wont to do, as a woman who stood out in a male profession on account of her brassy personality and exotic background (she was born in Baghdad in 1950). Indeed, for her proponents Hadid has done more than any of her peers to rethink old representational modes of architecture and to exploit its new digital technologies. It is this view I consider here, with special attention to her recourse to select moments in modernist art and architecture.
For several years after her 1977 graduation from the Architectural Association (AA) in London, Hadid had little work of her own. In this lull she turned to modernist painting, in particular the Suprematist abstraction of Kasimir Malevich. Hadid explored this work in painting of her own, which she regarded primarily as a way not only to develop an abstract language for her architectural practice, but also to render the standard conventions of architectural imaging (plan, elevation, perspective, and axonometric projection) more dynamic than they usually appear. Already in her AA thesis, an unlikely scheme for a hotel complex on a hypothetical Thames bridge, Hadid adapted the idiom of the Malevich "Arkhitektons," plaster models, built up in geometric blocks, that he proposed in the middle 1920s for a monumental architecture in the young Soviet Union. This was only an initial gesture, but it was not an auspicious one, for, however enlivened with Suprematist red and black, the Arkhitekton blocks remain static in her adaptation. Nevertheless, her project was shaped: "I felt we must reinvestigate the aborted and untested experiments of modernism," Hadid wrote in retrospect, "not to resurrect them but to unveil new fields of building."1 Continue reading

Medical questions & health advice by board certified doctors
"Is there something wrong with my rotator cuff?"
When I spin my arm I feel a grinding sensation in my shoulder and it sort of feels like something is popping inside of it. Is there a problem with my rotator cuff? Are the ligaments damaged in some way perhaps?
It certainly sounds like something is going on in the shoulder! I would recommend that you go see your doctor about this, if you have not done so already, as they will be able to help guide you through the possible diagnoses and treatments. A rotator cuff injury is one of the most likely possibilities. As you may know, the 'rotator cuff' is the name for the group of muscles that surround the should joint and stabilize it when you move your arm.

MikvahMinder's developers understand that many women today have to interact with the secular world and thus struggle with using the Jewish Calendar for their day-to-day life. MikvahMinder therefore allows you to work seamlessly using either the Jewish Calendar or the Civil Calendar. At any time you can switch to either calendar.
According to Jewish Law, only calculations made using the Jewish calendar are valid for Taharas HaMishpacha. To insure compliance with Halacha, MikvahMinder automatically converts all dates you enter into the Jewish Calendar and then performs the calculations.

But here is an interesting article that was I was pointed to by some folks at Microsoft here in Canada.
My team and I have been doing alot of work with Office 365 Wave 15. Migrations, co-existence, hybrid with Lync on-premises. And was advised that Lync Online is going to be changing their certificates as of June 1st 2013.
I wont post about the changes, as they can be found here,
Long story short from the article, you will need to download the Baltimore Root certificate if you do not use Windows Update on a regular biases, or you have security policies in place that do not allow for all trusted root certificate authority certificates to be stored on your servers.
You can download the root certificate here.
NOTE: This root certificate will need to be installed on every server that will come in contact with Lync Online.
Steps to install
Step 1: Download and Save the crt file above.
Step 2: Install Certificate into Trusted Root Certificate Store
Open, MMC (Start -> Run, type mmc)
Add the Certificates Snap in
Select Local Computer, then click Finish
Once the Certificates Snap-in is loaded, expand Certificates (Local Computer), Trusted Root Certification Authorities then Certificates. Right click Certificates, All Tasks and Import.
Click Next, Browse to the file that you downloaded above.
Click Next and Finish, you should receive a message that the import was successful.
To confirm check the list of root certificates to see if Baltimore CyberTrust Root is installed.
And there we have it. If you do not download specific updates, or have company regulations against storing specific certificates, this certificate needs to be installed by June 1st 2013 or any federation/hybrid/co-existence you have with Lync Online will stop working.
Thank you for reading, I hope I can start writing my co-existence articles very soon.

PASSIVATION TYPE 'C', Cr6 free, commercial mark HRI yellow- FeZn8/CCr3
TRANSMESA has developed a new product: Cr6-free zinc-coated tubes with yellow passivation. We did this at the request of some traditional customers, who formally were using the yellow passivation, which now is prohibited because of its Cr6 content. Certainly this new passivation will be of interest for all those customers who prefer, because of aesthetic criteria, a yellow coloured passivation of the tubes.
According to UNE-EN ISO 2081 it is a passivation of type "C". Requested resistance against white corrosion in salt spray test: 96 hours (acc. ISO 9227/ ASTM B-117) and against red corrosion:120 hours. Samples made in TRANSMESA and tested in independent laboratories show the following results:
White rust : 192 hours
Red rust: 312 hours
