HydroSolutions has been involved with investigation and remediation activities at the Helena Solvent Site since 2008, beginning with an environmental site review for the owner of The Hustad Center in response to a DEQ enforcement action. Following this site review, the property owner responded to DEQ requirements and contracted with HydroSolutions to initiate a focused source investigation, soil and groundwater sampling, indoor air sampling, installation of an indoor air mitigation system, groundwater monitoring, sub-slab air monitoring, and indoor air monitoring. HydroSolutions oversaw the installation of the sub-slab depressurization system to mitigate the effects of contaminated vapor intrusion from the sub-slab into the office space.
DEQ and the property owner entered into an administrative settlement agreement in 2016, settling the owner's liability for the Helena Solvent Site. HydroSolutions provided technical assistance to the settlement negotiations. Pursuant to the administrative settlement agreement, DEQ took over site investigation and remediation activities and contracted with HydroSolutions to conduct interim remedial actions.
Over the past year, HydroSolutions completed a remedial investigation of soil and groundwater contaminated with tetrachloroethene (PCE) and other chlorinated solvents. A focused source area investigation included push-probe and membrane interface probe (MIP) technology, groundwater and soil sampling, as well as indoor air and soil vapor point sampling. Horizontal drilling techniques were implemented to install a soil vapor extraction (SVE) system beneath the dry cleaning building to remediate the PCE contamination. HydroSolutions is currently evaluating SVE performance, performing operation and maintenance on the SVE system, monitoring indoor air and groundwater, and evaluating abiotic and anaerobic degradation processes of contaminants for natural attenuation conditions. Contact Dave Donohue at 406-443-6169 x 103 or firstname.lastname@example.com for more detailed project information. Click here for information from DEQ about the Helena Solvent Site.

Jason Weingart : Photographer. Storm Chaser. Author. Weather Nerd.
My name is Jason Weingart, and I love photography and adventures. I graduated with my bachelor's of science in photography from the University of Central Florida in the winter of 2012. I have been shooting professionally for five years.
Growing up in the Rust Belt of NE Ohio my interest in weather was present at a very young age. In 3rd grade, a local tv meteorologist visited our classroom and showed us the infamous tornado overpass video. After that, I would constantly watch VHS tapes of tornadoes. Whenever a severe storm caused us to take shelter, I would stay outside and watch it as long as I could. When asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, my first response was always a "storm chaser". As I got older, and life happened, that thought sort of fell out of my head, although I would still stand outside and watch storms.
I pretty much enrolled in photography school on a whim. Until then, I had never picked up anything more than a point-and-shoot camera. At the time, I was stuck in a dead end job, and didn't have much going on in my life. What did I have to lose? I quickly learned just how challenging photography is. I always tell new photographers not to get discouraged with their work, like everything else, it takes time. My pictures were downright awful when I first started. I had no business having a camera in my hand, let alone going to school for it. Thankfully I had an amazing support group of professors, faculty, and peers.
I started out shooting a lot of sports, which I enjoyed, but I kept that storm chasing thing in the back of my head the entire time. Once I got comfortable using a camera, I set out to get some storm photos. I got my first lightning photo in August of 2009, and was instantly hooked. I began studying meteorology, and chasing storms every chance I got. It became my thing at school. While all the other students were busy trying to become the next Irving Penn, I was wondering what the next severe weather setup would do, and if it would be worth my time to drive to it from Florida.
Today I live in the Austin, Texas area with my wife, Savannah. I can't say enough about this wonderful woman who helped me build this business from the ground up. An incredibly talented photographer, graphic designer, and storm chaser (whose work is featured prominently across this website), she has been taking pictures since she was a young girl. She actually has been chasing storms longer than me and has been the driving force behind my career. If you sign up for a workshop, chances are you will get to know her as well. Whether she is offering photography advice, lighting the inside of spooky abandoned buildings, or driving vans of guests during tornado outbreaks, these programs would not be what they are without her.
I enjoy teaching photography as much as I do actually taking photographs. I thought I would get my master's degree and teach photography at an institution but I actually prefer our workshops, which give us the freedom to teach our guests in the most efficient way and give them an unforgettable adventure full of learning.
Got a question? Let me know and I will respond promptly.

US-based Icelandic cod supplier expands team, adds distributors
Niceland Seafood, based in Reykjavik, chose Denver as it US headquarters partially due to its partnership with Icelandair.
Colorado-based Niceland Seafood, which delivers freshly caught Icelandic cod to the United States, is expanding its management team at its headquarters in Denver.
On Tuesday the company announced its Denver team now includes four people in addition to its founder Oliver Luckett. Meghan Russell is the US director of strategy and sales, Arnie Dzelzkalns is the US director of operations and production, Patrick Dunaway is the US director of sustainability, and William (Billy) Polo is heading the company's US logistics and inventory manager.
"Our US team embodies the values of humanism, sustainability and shares a desire for more collaboration and transparency," said Luckett. "Together our goal is to improve customer, retail partner and supplier experiences through leadership in education, technology and authentic storytelling."
The company is also expanding its supply side position with the recent acquisition of Iceland-based exporter NASTAR. It has partnered with major distributors Seattle Fish and Fortune Fish to serve states beyond Colorado that include Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Illinois, New York, Connecticut, Texas, Missouri, Montana, Wyoming and Florida.
Niceland Seafood was founded by the Iceland-based brand incubator EFNI in collaboration with Iceland-based international investment company Eyrir Invest. The investment firm also backs Icelandic equipment manufacturer Marel.

Computer Science
Iowa is a top place for workers in computers and technology.
The first computer was invented in Iowa in 1930, and while California's Silicon Valley has since attracted much of the attention in the tech and computer science sphere, Iowa has never lost sight of its roots as a major tech innovator. There is a reason why Iowa is part of the "Silicon Prairie."
Today, Iowa's $11 billion tech scene employs about 76,000 workers. In addition to a healthy tech start-up scene, major companies like Microsoft, Apple, Facebook and Google have opened large data centers here, and more are expected to come as Iowa's three largest cities have all been identified among the top-10 ideal locations in the nation for data site expansions. Cedar Rapids and Des Moines were ranked the sixth- and eighth-top cities respectively for tech workers in the nation. Meanwhile, the need for computer scientists statewide remains high, with almost 4,000 jobs going unfilled each year.
Knowledge Drop
Ames, the Cedar Rapids Iowa City Corridor, Council Bluffs, Davenport, West Des Moines and Des Moines were all listed as top places for STEM graduates this past year. See how you can land a job in STEM at www.futurereadyiowa.gov

'We've got to work together', so says one Anti-Slavery group in Cheshire, who have been working across denominations for five years to raise awareness of modern slavery in their area.
Five years ago, a group of Christians living in Cheshire began a journey. From different churches, and different walks of life, they didn't have a lot in common. Except for one thing: they had heard about modern slavery, and they wanted to do something about it.
They began to pray together, earnestly asking God what their next steps should be. From their prayers and conversations there emerged a consensus – whatever they did, they needed to do it together. One group member, who has been involved in the work since the beginning, explains why:
"We felt that we had to work across all denominations and faiths and people of none because otherwise we would be cutting across each other, not using our limited resources to maximum effectiveness. Therefore we don't see it as Church of England, Methodist, or Baptist, we see it as the corporate church on earth working on this together, across all denominations."
After building the foundation of the group with prayer, they decided to increase their knowledge of the issue by inviting a senior member of the Salvation Army to speak to them. They then held a forum, where Major Anne Read, who runs the Salvation Army's work on modern slavery, spoke. It was attended by people from all across the North-West and helped them to galvanise their mission. They decided to focus on awareness raising and raising money to support the victims of modern slavery.
They spoke at men's breakfasts, women's evenings, WI meetings, youth groups, and coffee mornings. More people began to come on board, particularly young people who took on some of the speaking engagements – building their own skills and spreading the word about modern slavery at the same time!
As their volunteer base grew, as well as recognition within the area, the opportunities they were offered began to grow too. The group has been surprised at the help they have received from local people. They held a pop-up charity shop in a recently vacated shop on the high street, selling donated items to raise money for charities working with survivors, as well as raising awareness with shoppers. They couldn't get any of the churches to cover the insurance, but incredibly the owner of the shop offered to foot the bill. They were even able to borrow tills from the shop opposite, and the shop's staff trained the volunteers in how to use them!
They see the church as part of the community and have collaborated wherever possible, going in with the Soroptomists on a tent at the County Show, where they gave out leaflets and hosted Stop the Traffik's Gift Box.
To make sure the project is sustainable, from the beginning they have always safeguarded the time and welfare of their volunteers. All the projects they do have a beginning and an end, so people know they're not committing forever. And they try and fit round schedules as much as possible. If someone only has an hour to give in between doing their shopping and getting to work, then they will find something to fill that hour, and no more!
They advise anyone who wants to start their own Anti-Slavery group to take the time to get acquainted with what is going on in their area first. Don't rush into intervention, but instead see who is doing what, and why. As the group leader says, "no one group is going to solve modern slavery, so we've all got to work together".

A contentious match went in Marin's favor on Tuesday as the Mariners defeated the Yuba College 49ers 3-2. Yuba lost two players to red cards but continued to fight, tying the game on two separate occasions before Marin put the game away for good in the final five minutes of the match.
The game played to draw until the waning moments of the first half. Marin's Johnathan Blanco received a pass from Alex Argueta and beat Yuba keeper Abraham Juarez. Immediately after the goal, extracurricular contact between Juarez and Blanco resulted in a red card to Juarez, leaving the visitors without their starting goalkeeper. The first half whistle blew and the Mariners held a 1-0 advantage halfway through the match.
Despite missing a man, it did not deter Yuba College who were relentless on the Marin goal. They could not draw even immediately and faced a big disadvantage when a second Yuba player was shown a red card for dissent and sent off from the pitch. Nine man Yuba did all they could to be competitive and managed to tie the game at 1-1 as Adrian Hoyos scored off a pass from Kobe Bancroft in the 60th minute.
The Mariners responded in kind as Anthony De Leon scored a long goal from outside the box off a pass from Jason De Leon. He took the pass in the middle of the field and lofted the keeper from 25 yards out to give Marin a 2-1 lead.Yuba continued to discontent the Mariners as a few minutes later Hoyos struck again from close range to tie the match up yet again at 2-2.
After allowing two goals the Marin defense tightened up and took control of the under manned Yuba midfield. Jason De Leon played in Jerry Maldonado from close range, he took a deft single touch to flick the ball into the back of the net to give Marin a 3-2 lead in the 85th minute. Yuba tried, but were unable to tie the match a third time as Marin took the victory at the final whistle.
Blanco scored his third goal of the season while Anthony De Leon and Maldonado scored their first of the season. Jason De Leon recorded his second and third assists of the season. In goal, Colin Sneddon made seven saves for the Mariners.
"Crazy game today with Yuba getting two reds" Said Coach Mike Crivello, "Credit to them for not quitting, playing their hearts out, to almost win the game. We did just enough to get the result."
Next up for the Mariners is a visit to Merritt College on Friday, November 3rd.

I felt pretty cool the day Andrew W.K. followed me on Twitter. To be fair, he does follow close to 80,000 Twitter accounts, most of which belong to fans like me. Sure, that might make a return follow from the undisputed King of Partying seem like nothing special, but I honestly believe that the exact opposite is true. Andrew W.K. loves his fans, he bonds with them, he invites them all to the party. I was right to feel cool when I joined the thousands of accounts that W.K. follows, and I'd like to think that he'd agree.
If you're not familiar, Andrew W.K. is a musician who gained notoriety in the early 2000s with party anthems such as It's Time to Party, Party Hard, and Party Til You Puke (and yes, those are all tracks from the same breathtaking album). He's since become an international pizza ambassador, an incredibly generous advice columnist, and the best pundit that Fox News has ever aired. He is, in short, a national treasure.
You can imagine the thrill I felt when I heard that Andrew W.K. was getting into politics. In a video that was released on March 31, W.K. announced the formation of a new political party affectionately dubbed The Party Party. In the video, W.K. said that he "…had already filed all of the relevant paperwork with the Secretary of State," before asking his supporters to sign an online petition to officially qualify The Party Party as a legitimate political party.
It should come as no surprise that the petition received the required signatures in an incredibly short amount of time. The Party Party is officially happening.
Andrew W.K. has already made it clear that he won't be running for president any time soon, and that The Party Party has no political agenda other than to, well, party. But what are the practical implications of bringing the party to politics?
In a press release that was distributed earlier this week, W.K. explained, "If we open our hearts and approach the problems we face with an open mind, real change can be achieved."
If, like me, you've been worn thin by the endless cavalcade of bullshit that is modern politics, then W.K.'s sentiment might feel trite, or delusional, or even obtuse. But the thing about Andrew W.K. is that, at the bottom of everything, he is incredibly sincere. He ardently believes that partying will save politics and—after speaking with him myself—I'm inclined to agree.
That's right, I actually got to talk with one of my idols — a conversation which began with no small amount of anxiety. Don't tell him you're a fan, I thought. Be professional…be professional…be professional…
I want to talk about The Party Party, but before we do, I wanted to lay a foundation for what we're talking about. So, what are you saying when you say the word "party"?

We believe that we'll take care of ourselves once we hit that goal.
We believe that we'll feel relaxed around food if only we could get to our "goal weight."
We believe that if we had more money or time we would most certainly get massages and buy that yoga studio membership.
We believe that we would definitely meditate, journal, and breathe deeper if only we had a couple more hours in the day.
But the truth is... these things will never be a priority unless they're a priority NOW.
And a lot of times the reason we have these "if only this, THEN I would be better.." thoughts is because we believe that somehow we're not worthy of the things we want NOW.
We believe that if we EARN our right to relax, then we will finally relax.
We believe that if we do something to DESERVE the self care, then we'll take care of ourselves.
We keep ourselves on the hamster wheel of doing.
Always working towards the next thing.
Because... what would we be if just.... stopped.
We would be OURSELVES, just as we are.. and unfortunately, most of us have decided through past experiences and programming that we are not good enough as we are.
Somewhere in the shadowy depths of our psyche there is this voice that says, "You're not worthy or eating in a relaxed way, until you're 20 lbs lighter,"
"You don't deserve to spend money on a massage since you don't make as much money as your husband."
"How could I possibly take a day to myself when I am mother of young children that need me!?"
"I can't take time to meditate and connect to myself, then I might actually 'see' what's going on in my mind!"
So the problem is; when we make our self care or worthiness contingent upon other actions or external sources, we will never get THERE.
That's not the way this way of thinking works.
It's insatiable.
We've gotta get to the root of it all: the perceived unworthiness.
We've gotta believe we are worthy of all we want before we give ourselves all we want.
We've gotta believe we're worthy of a massage, a day of blissful free time to ourselves, or a new sweater, for no reason other than we want it.
We've gotta believe that even if we watch hours of TV we're still worthy of feeling good.
We've gotta believe that even if we just ate a whole pizza we're worthy of being loved.
We'll never do enough to earn the right to relax. We may try, but we'll just play over and over in our head all the things we should have done or still need to do.
We've gotta just relax when we need it.
We'll never "catch up" up enough to slow down, if we're constantly playing into the story that we're behind.
We've gotta just stop when we need to.
We'll never make enough money to deserve to spend it freely on ourselves if we believe we aren't worth what we want right now.
We've gotta invest in ourselves and our future and trust ourselves enough to believe we'll make the correct choices.
Because, Worthiness is not given or earned; it is CLAIMED.
If you're ready to address the seed of your perceived unworthiness book a 30 min self love clarity call with me here.

AceShowbiz - A former "Saturday Night Live" writer is believed to have committed suicide. Joe Bodolai, who wrote on 20 episodes for the sketch show in the '80s, was found dead in Re-Tan Hotel's room in Hollywood on Monday, December 26. Los Angeles County Chief Coroner Craig Harvey said that his body was discovered at 1:30 P.M. by room service staff.
News of Bodolai's death came just a few days after he posted a gloomy message on Facebook. On December 23, he wrote, "I'm alone this year and am volunteering serving Christmas dinner to the homeless. Perhaps I will be one, but I love all of you and if I make it to next year let's make it a morally, spiritually, better and funnier year."
The 63-year-old later took to his blog to post what seemed to be his goodbye note. Titled "If This Were Your Last Day Alive What Would You Do?", his lengthy blog post listed "Things I think will happen next year", "Stuff I would like to have seen in my life", "Things I Regret" and "Things I am Proud Of".
Among Bodolai's personal failures was his "inability" to conquer his alcoholism. He also noted that he is "no longer able to withstand any more of life's pain" and expressed regret for "the pain I have caused and am now causing my sons and the love of my life, my ex-wife Bianca, my love and connection with her is infinite."
As for his accomplishments, Bodolai listed his two sons, his time as an "SNL" staff writer and his work in "writing the first draft of 'Wayne's World' with %cMike Myers%." He ended his lengthy post by writing, "May you all have the happy lives you deserve. Thank you all for being in my life."
Bodolai's death was first reported by TMZ. On Tuesday, December 27, Chief Coroner Harvey revealed that a mixture of Gatorade and antifreeze was found in the writer's hotel room. He also noted that Bodolai checked into the hotel on December 19. Police Cmdr. Andrew Smith added there was no suicide note.

"Technology is not neutral. We're inside of what we make, and it's inside of us. We're living in a world of connections — and it matters which ones get made and unmade."
- Donna J. Haraway
A collaboration between Rachel Freire and Sophia Brueckner, the Embodisuit allows its wearer to map signals onto different places on their body. It both critiques and offers an alternative to current trends in wearable technology. Most wearables harvest data from their users to be sent and processed elsewhere. The Embodisuit flips this paradigm. Informed by embodied cognition, the suit instead receives signals from an IoT platform, allowing the wearer to map personally chosen signals to modular haptic actuators on the body. Knowledge is experienced ambiently without necessitating the interpretation of symbols by the conscious mind. The suit empowers wearers to reconfigure the boundaries of their selves, strengthening their connection to the people, places, and things that are meaningful to them. Furthermore, we hypothesize that by changing the way people live with data, it will change the type of data that people create.

What Is The Difference Between The Soul, The Mind And The Brain?
Is mind just brain and it's processes inside? Or is it something more than that? How can we differentiate consciousness and brain?
The soul does not incarnate in the body of a man in whole, but only a smaller part of it does so. Her strength is too big to keep it in one physical body. It is not necessary either. In the body there is only the potential of the soul consciousness that is sufficient for the life of that body and the gathering of all impressions, of all experiences of existence. Collecting impressions of all possibilities of existence increases the presence of the soul in the body.
This little apparently isolated and alienated consciousness in the body is the ego of a man, his little I, or a physical mind, the bigger part of which is located in his brain. It is the everyday consciousness of the mind which the ordinary man is using in reality, in this world.
That little consciousness or I in the body cannot do much by itself, it has to be helped by a higher consciousness, some kind of connection to the soul. The connection between the physical mind and the consciousness of soul is the higher I or the higher mind. It is not incarnated in a human body but has a permanent connection with him.
The higher mind remains on a higher dimension and acts as a mediator between the physical mind and the transcendental consciousness of the soul.
Only thanks to that connection, the mind can have an objective awareness of itself and of every event. If it did not have it, it would have the same physical awareness of what it perceives animals have. It would always be subjective.
The body has its intelligence, very simple and conditioned, but sufficient for survival. The relationship with the higher mind and the spirit of the soul gives our body everything that makes us people and mental beings.
This connection, however, can be so weak in some people that they do not differ much from animals, so they behave very senseless and completely wrong. The weaker and smaller the connection of the mind with the consciousness of the soul is, the weaker is the possibility of a man to see the whole and the divine presence in the entire life. He therefore feels so much more alienated in the negative world, and is much more negative himself so as a result he is in conflict with every reality. He has no objective awareness.
The stronger and the bigger the connection of the physical mind with the higher mind and the spirit of the soul is, the objective consciousness of the man is stronger, so he is more conscious of his unity with the divine Absolute, for him the mere existence is the expression of the divine consciousness, and he is always positive and good, because he recognizes this divine consciousness as his consciousness and as life itself in all beings.
There are in fact no divisions in consciousness. There is only one conscience in everything, from the divine Absolute to the least of the grasses and particles, and in ourselves.
The higher mind has a higher and broader perspective, it sees each process in a wider context, from a higher dimension, and therefore can give information to the lower, the physical mind or the Ego, which has a very limited perspective; it sees only what can be perceived through the senses.
This information from the higher mind to the physical mind comes as an inspiration or an intuition, a sudden insight, in a state of alertness, but also through the dreams, when the physical mind is suppressed and the higher mind can influence a man easier.
This is, therefore, the basic structure of the divine consciousness of the Absolute in the human being:
- The consciousness of the soul (which is transcendental and only partially embodied)
- The higher mind (or the higher I stands between the physical body and the divine consciousness of the soul as their connection)
- The consciousness of the physical mind (or Ego, located in the brain of the physical body)
All the religious and mystical experiences of a man are a reflection of the connection of the physical or empirical mind with the spirit of the soul through the higher mind.
All growth in consciousness and knowledge is the growth of the presence of consciousness in the body. Although it cannot be embodied in whole, it can increase its presence in the body so much that the body is turned into light.
Still, the greater presence of the soul in a man is more often seen as goodness, love, wisdom and enlightenment.

Song of the Day 10/8/2009
On this day in 1971 – "Imagine" was recorded by John Lennon.
Cotton Jones – Blood Red Sentimental Blues
Question of the Day:
What smell reminds you of your grandmother or grandfather?
7 Comments
Emily said,
Peaches. My grandparents had a ton of peach trees all around their house, and I always think of visiting when I smell fresh peaches. Mmm.
Kel/y_H said,
Cigars and funnel cake remind me of Grandpa. Stale cigarette smoke for Grandma. She's quite the cook, but there's no one item that I really associate with her.
Megan said,
Wood shavings remind me of my grandpa. He was always making things… cedar chests for the granddaughters, hutches for the grandsons, grandfather clocks for his kids and various other projects. My mother has been doing woodwork for several years now, so it's a great memory for us all.
Roast and noodles remind me of my grandma on mom's side. We live 10+ hours away from each other, but whenever we can make it to visit, we always have roast and noodles.
Avon lotions remind me of my grandma on my dad's side. She used to sell avon YEARS ago and she still has cool bottles around her house. Unfortunately we always open several and you can't really have that many smells around and have it smell good.
And Adam – on the rain… supposed to hit this afternoon/tonight w/ 3-5 inches possible between then and tomorrow morning. UGH. Let's all get our boats out and go tubing down Kelly Creek and downtown Monett! http://www.crh.noaa.gov/wxstory.php?site=sgf
amber said,
Apples for my dad's side grandma (the coolest lady ever btw!) – she used to keep bushels of apples in the garage. I bought a bag of apples last night actually, and thought of her.
It's hard to describe, but warm fabric reminds me of my mom's side grandma. She quilted, and the south facing room of her house was her sewing room. It wasn't air conditioned, so it was usually warm, and recently our spare bedroom smelled just like it…. i had some clothes i was sorting stored in there, so, warm fabric is the best way to describe it!
I was too young when my dad's side grandpa died to have smell associated with him, but i have a little metal stool that reminds me of him. I used to sit on it when the three of us ate together, and grandma got me to eat a turnip once, and grandpa thought it was really funny.
I don't have a smell associated with mom's side grandpa, maybe the smell of the Mueller weld shop?, but everytime i hear the alt. country singer James McMurtry i think of him. It's something about the way he enunciates the words or one of his songs, it's like grandpa is telling a story!
Kevin said,
Pipe smoke reminds me of Grandad (my father's dad). The smell of the air next to a lake in the early morning reminds me of my Grandpa (my mom's dad) since he was the one who taught me how to fish. Flowery perfume reminds me of my Granny (Dad's mom). Any sort of homemade baked pie fresh out of the oven reminds me of my Grandma (Mom's mom).
Shannon said,
With my grandmother, I don't associate a specific scent. Just cooking in general. Sunday dinner.
With my grandfather, I don't associate a scent so much as a sound. I think of him whenever I hear Johnny Cash or Elvis singing gospel.

So sorry for abandoning the blog these past two weeks. Last week (05/11 – 05/15) was horribly stressful, work wise~ This past week (05/18 – 05/22) has just been plain busy everyday after work. Work was actually SO MUCH BETTER!
So let's begin with last week.. At work it was only two of us with 9 kids ALL DAY until 2pm when the part-time Teacher's Assistant comes in. So we're both running around trying to feed, change, play with, put to sleep all these kids (age range from 4months – 2yrs old). Talk about stressful!! We both wanted to just cry by the time Friday came. So, on Friday I picked up two packs of Smirnoffs to relax and unwind. I watched Taken which was such a good movie! RATING: My weekend was nice — I just lounged around & went to the pool.
This week has been so much calmer at work. Well, this is mostly because we've only been having 4 – 6 kids per day (talk about a "Thank You") So we haven't stressed at all. On Tuesday I had my first observation for my Montessori Training that went pretty well but I was so nervous about it. She was there for 3hrs!! Luckily we only had 5 kids that day.

Development of Medical Guidelines
Care Beyond Diagnosis has recognized an opportunity within the rare disease community to develop internationally recognized medical guidelines for rare diseases. While in the developed world, there are agencies to assist in the coverage of treatment and aid for patients with a rare disease, in the rest of the world, these patients may be left without coverage and financial support.
Clinical Guidelines are developed through consensus of "experts" in a specific area of interest. Experts are professionals whom have been selected and accepted the role as a panelist in the consensus program.
Many of the rare diseases recognized today have a set of management guidelines, although, none of which are internationally accredited by a governing organization such as the National Guideline's Clearinghouse.
It is our goal to take the development of Medical Guidelines on in an effort to strengthen the reimbursement and dissemination of the published guidelines.
Clinical Guidelines require a very rigorous development process in order to validate and accredit the information within. CBD will adhere to the criteria set forth by an independent agency which assesses the completed guidelines in order to proactively implement the required practical tasks and processes involved.

On Saturday 8th October, Neighbourhood Festival will be taking place in Manchester.
The event takes place over 11 different venues, and over 100 artists are going to be performing; including Circa Waves, Blossoms, and Twin Atlantic. However, I thought I would talk about some other acts you could go and watch throughout the day.
The Pigeon Detectives – If the name doesn't ring a bell, that needs to change. Despite my belief that they deserve a later slot, at a larger venue; the Leeds indie rock quintet will be playing a half hour set at Sound Control (Main) from 1pm on Saturday. If you want to check them out before, some of their biggest hits include I Found Out and Take Her Back.
Liam Fray – The Courteeners frontman was probably a deciding factor for many, with expectation for him playing there being high before he even got announced. Fray will be making a special guest appearance at the event, playing a solo set at The Albert Hall from 6:30pm. Even if he's the only act you see from these suggestions, it will be so worth it just to see him belt out Not Nineteen Forever and Small Bones.
The Academic – As one of Ireland's hottest musical prospects at this very moment, The Academic are to play a few tour dates in the UK this month, including Neighbourhood. You'll be able to find them at Underdog (XOLO) from 10:30pm – they'll be sure to end your night on a high.
The Amazons – these are a band whom I've always rated highly. Their tracks Junk Food Forever and Ultraviolet gained the band a lot of following, and this year they played the likes of Truck Fest and Y Not. The band will be playing at Sound Control (Basement) from 4pm til 4:30pm, with other up and coming acts before and after such as Airways, High Tyde and Fronteers.
VANT – Having supported the likes of Catfish and the Bottlemen, Royal Blood, and soon You Me At Six, the indie rock quartet will be performing from 8pm at Sound Control (Main). If you're unfamiliar with them, go and give their tracks Fly-by Alien and Parking Lot a listen.
There are numerous other acts performing at the festival across various venues throughout the course of the day. Others worth checking out include Louis Berry, Inheaven, Pale Waves and Clean Cut Kid.

Top 10 mattresses for 2019
By Ben Slater
We reveal our pick of the best mattresses available to buy, based on the results of our impartial rigorous lab tests.
Put us to the test
Our Test Labs compare features and prices on a range of products. Try Which? to unlock our reviews. You'll instantly be able to compare our test scores, so you can make sure you don't get stuck with a Don't Buy.
With the quality of your sleep and the support of your spine at stake, do you really want to risk spending a fortune on an unsupportive mattress that won't stand the test of time?
Well, fortunately you don't have to. Our independent and rigorous lab tests have uncovered the best mattresses - and exposed the worst. With more than £1,000 separating our cheapest Best Buy mattress from our most expensive Don't Buy, a good night's sleep might cost less than you expect.
Whether you're looking for a pocket sprung or memory foam mattress, you'll want to take a look at our recommendations below. We've picked out the highest- and lowest-scoring mattresses that are available to buy in 2018, so you can be sure of buying the best and avoiding the worst.
Only logged-in Which? members can view our recommendations in the table below. If you're not yet a member, join Which? to get instant access.
Top 10 mattresses to buy
All 10 of the mattresses below performed well in our tough body-support and durability tests. But you should always try out the mattress in a shop if you can, because that's the only way to know whether you will personally find it comfortable
If you're looking for a foam bed, you can't go far wrong with this reasonably-priced mattress. It didn't do poorly in a single one of our tests - it's supportive, breathable and suitable for light sleepers and it will stay that way for years to come.
This mattress is a trendy, bed-in-a-box that's only available online.
But don't let that put you off - there's a 100-night trial period, during
which you can send it back for a full refund if you don't find it
comfortable. If you do like the feel of it, though, you can sleep safe in
the knowledge that you've bought an exceptional mattress. It's supportive,
won't sag or soften with time and, unlike some foam mattresses, this one
doesn't restrict your movement at all. That's why it's the joint highest-scoring
mattress we've tested.
This mattress is a great all-rounder with no major flaws, but it's particularly well-suited to light sleepers and people who usually sleep on their back. While the support is good for side-sleepers, it's even better when you're lying on your back. And this long-lasting mattress is also exceptionally stable, meaning you shouldn't be disturbed when your partner rolls over or gets up during the night. The only thing to bear in mind is that some mattresses on this list are easier to roll over on.
Although we tested it back in 2015, this is still the pocket sprung mattress to beat in 2018. It will support your spine regardless of your body size or sleeping position, and it's particularly well-suited if you're smaller than average and sleep on your back, or are larger than average and sleep on your side. Plus, this mattress aced our durability tests, so you can rely on it to remain supportive and retain its thickness.
For our money, this is one of the best mattresses around at the moment. It's just as long-lasting as the mattress above and, although that one is slightly more suitable for light or restless sleepers, this one offers slightly superior support for your spine and will continue to do so for years to come.
If you're looking for an affordable pocket spring mattress with natural fillings, you'll struggle to find a better one than this. It provides good all-round support, especially if you sleep on your back, and it's also extremely breathable, long-lasting and easy to roll over on. It's not quite as good as some we've seen at preventing the transfer of movement from one side of the bed to the other, but it's certainly not the worst we've seen, so it's only likely to be an issue if you're a light sleeper.
It's rare that we test a poor mattress from this brand, and this one doesn't disappoint. It's supportive for both larger and smaller people when new and it doesn't sag, soften or become less supportive over time. It's also suitable for restless sleepers, as it's very easy to roll over on. Doing so may disturb a light-sleeping partner, however, as it isn't the best at preventing the transfer of movement from one side of the bed to the other.
This is the cheapest mattress on this list, but it still manages to combine foam, pocket springs and memory foam to excellent effect. It provides good all-round support, and is particularly good at supporting your spine when you're sleeping on your back. Better yet, even after years of use, you'll be getting the same quality of support without any signs of sagging. The only things to bear in mind are that it's a little awkward to rotate and, unlike some of the other online-only mattresses on this list, it doesn't come with a 100-night sleep trial.
It's far from cheap, but this mattress combines pocket springs and memory foam to excellent effect. It provides good all-round support and the memory foam doesn't make it tricky to turn over on this mattress. You can count on this long-lasting mattress to still feel like new in years to come, too, so it could prove to be a good investment.
It's not the cheapest, but this is the best pocket-sprung mattress with natural fillings we've seen in years. It didn't do badly in any of our tough tests and it's particularly impressive at supporting people sleeping on their back. It doesn't restrict your movement at all, either, which is great news if you like to switch sleeping positions several times during the night.
Not found the mattress for you? See all our Best Buy mattresses recommendations.
...and here's three mattresses to avoid
Even if you find these mattresses fantastically comfortable when you try them in the shop, we would advise against adding them to your short list. Comfort doesn't guarantee support or durability, and all three mattresses have serious flaws in at least one of these areas.
Despite coming from a well-respected brand, you should steer clear of this pricey mattress. It doesn't offer good support for taller and heavier people, and that's not even the biggest flaw. It failed our durability test, developing a severe tear halfway through. We recommend that you don't buy it – that is, unless you want to risk spending more than £1,000 on a mattress that might not stand the test of time.
This mattress has the word 'ortho' in the name, so it must be supportive, right? Well, not according to our rigorous body-support tests. They revealed that, regardless of whether you lie on your side or back, this mattress doesn't do a great job at keeping your spine in the correct position. To make matters worse, it will also sag with time.
Pocket sprung mattresses with natural fillings can be very expensive, so this option is temptingly priced. But it's not the bargain it might seem. Not only is this mattress unsupportive for most people, but it will also sag very noticeably after you've been using it a while, which is likely to make it less comfortable.

Which? mattress reviews
Not only does no one else test mattresses like us, but we're also totally independent, so you can have complete confidence in our results.
If you tend to sleep on your back, a good mattress will keep your spine in the same shape as when you're standing. So, we measure the shape of a person's body at 36 different points when standing, and then again when lying on their back on the mattresses, to see how well they compare. If you're a side-sleeper, your spine should be parallel to the mattress, so we use a laser to measure the angle of a person's spine relative to the bed.
After simulating several years of use by rolling a heavy barrel over the mattress thousands of times, we then repeat the body-support tests to see whether the mattress becomes less supportive over time.
That's not all. With our results, you can see how breathable a mattress is, how easy it is for you to turn over on and how stable it is. If you're a light sleeper, you should try and buy a mattress with five stars for stability. These are the best at absorbing bounces, so you'll be less likely to be disturbed when your partner rolls over or gets up in the night.

プリスクールのキッズちゃんたち、今月の単語は身に着ける洋服と反対語でした。洋服に関連する単語はだいぶ定着してきましたが、反対語はまだ勉強中です。"Open Shut Them"(^^♪など歌いながら反対語を学習していきますよ。クラフトは豚さんの絵を紙に貼り付けていきました。Happy pig, Mad pig, Clean mother pig, Dirty Pigなど反対の言葉を表す豚さんの絵を貼り付けていきました。今週は"P"から始まる言葉 "Pear" "Pillow" "Peacock"も学習しました。
This student loves coming to class every week to talk about her weekend, things she ate and future plans. She enjoys borrowing books from the library and reading them at home for practice.
This week, she worked on asking if someone wants one thing or another. She understood the concept of "or", but she had questions about when to use "a/an" or not to use it. For example "does he want an orange or an apple?" versus "does he want pasta or steak?" The teacher explained it to her and she did more examples and showed she understood it.
She is also taking the Eiken 5 exam in January, so the teacher worked on Eiken with her as well.
今日のプリスクールは"O"から始まる単語を習いました。"Ornament" "Octopus" "Orange" "Owl"などです。ちゃんと発話できるようになったら、ビンゴのゲームをやってみましたよ。先生が単語カードを読み、その単語の上に赤い印をつけていきます。最初にビンゴになった子の勝ちです!ビンゴは小さな子供達が大好きなゲームで、新しい単語をすぐに覚えてくれますよ♥
今月は反対語についても学習しているので、"Happy Face" と"Sad Face"のクラフトを作りました。紙皿を使い、表側がHappyなお顔、裏側がSadなお顔を作りました。先生がHappy faceの表を見せるとダッシュで走り、裏側のSad faceを見せると立ち止まるゲームも楽しみました。「だるまさんが転んだ」と同じルールです!
Many & Much
例)I have many friends(私はたくさんの友達がいます。)
例)She doesn't have much money(彼女にはたくさんのお金がありません。)
それでは"Few" と"A few"を見ていきましょう。
例)She has few friends. (彼女は友達が少ししかいません。)
ですが、"A few"は肯定的な意味を持ちますよ。
例)She has a few friends. (彼女は友達が何人かいます。)
違いが理解できたでしょうか。"A few"は必ずしも2~3人というわけではなく、文章の前後を見ながら判断しなくてはいけません。文章によっては、もっと多い数を示す時がありますよ。
久しぶりに子供達に会えることをスタッフ一同楽しみにしております。冬休みに何をしたのか、お話しを聞くことが楽しみです♥ 皆さん、まだまだ寒い日が続きますが、お体ご自愛くださいね。
This student has been learning about irregular verbs "go" and "do" in the present and the past. In class this week she practiced filling in sentences with these verbs where she needed to choose the correct form of the verb depending on the situation and the person the sentence was about. For example, if the sentence said "She ________ karate after school", the student would need to write "does".
She has also been improving her writing by creating interesting sentences with adjectives, and describing the setting where stories take place. She also practiced putting sentences in order.
Lastly, this student has started an ongoing project where she is making her own journal. Each day she will write a journal entry about her day, things she likes or doesn't like, or whatever is on her mind! It's great practice for writing and also a fun way to get her thoughts on paper. Great job this week!
子供達と一緒にサンタのマスクを作りました。かわいいらしいですね♥ みんなにサンタさんが来てくれますように!
This student has been working very hard on perfecting her essay writing skills. This last week she wrote essays on many different topics, including an essay about whether she thinks smartphones are positive or negative. She did a great job with the first draft of her essay. For homework, she was instructed to revise and edit her essay and add more details.
She has specifically been working on creating a strong closing paragraph. The teacher explained that a strong closing paragraph is very important because it's the last thing that the reader reads. She revised her essay, adding more details and organization, and her essay really improved!
Correcting our own work and revising is an important step to becoming a good writer, and this student has definitely made a lot of progress using this process! Great work this week!
遅れてしまいましたが、Happy Thanksgiving!
This student is currently working on improving her math skills in English.
This week she worked on defining many Math terms such as "pyramid", "integer", and "symmetrical". This student has made exceptional progress with her abilities to use English words to define her math vocabulary. This is a very advanced and difficult skill and she has progressed significantly!
This student also worked on grammar homework, which included practicing plurals, synonyms, and adjectives. She has also made great progress in her English Grammar skills and general English abilities to write more cohesive and interesting sentences! Great job!
This group of students did a great job participating in the songs and activities this week. They started out the class with circle time. After their circle time song they greet each other and say hello. The teacher asked the students how they are and the students respond with emotions like "happy" "sad" and "sleepy." The teacher also has flashcards where they pick a random emotion or feeling, such as "hot" and "cold" and everyone has to guess what they think it is.
The teacher read a book about school to the students and then introduced the new letter, "Bb". They learned the words "bird", "baby", "book" and "boy". Most of the students knew the words by the end!
The students worked on making a school book this week. They colored the front of the book, which was a picture of the school. They also worked on the first page, which was a drawing of themselves. The page said "Me in 2018". The books are going to stay at the school and they will add pages each week and for the holidays. They had a lot of fun!
The students also worked on their handwriting by writing "Bb" and also worked on beginning sounds by distinguishing words that start with "Bb" and words that don't start with "Bb."
Lastly, the students played lots of games! They played a racing game where they had to choose the correct school item and place it in their team's basket. They also played an ABC game where they had to say and collect the alphabet flashcards. They had a lot of fun and learned a lot!
These students worked on the letter "Bb" this week. They learned the words "bird", "baby", "book" and "boy". They did a really good job remembering the vocabulary for "Bb".
The students practiced writing the letter "Bb" by writing words that start with "B", like "Bat". The student`s handwriting continues to improve every week.
The students also played a game called "hands on your head", where they look at four different letters of the alphabet, and when the letter is called out they try to be the first one to slap the letter. They had a lot of fun and it also helped the students learn the letters even better!
Lastly, they played a memory game with school words. They know almost all of the words now and are able to say them very fast when they practice the flashcards. They had a lot of fun this week!
This student has continued to make excellent progress with her studies to prepare for her school applications and English tests. She has been studying vocabulary in order to improve her writing as well as improve her reading capabilities.
This week she learned how to create interesting topic sentences to hook the reader's attention. She has really improved her writing skills so far and is making progress with sentence structure, as well.
She is also learning how to understand vocabulary words she doesn't know by using context clues, as well as creating her own sentences that helps the reader understand what the meaning of the vocabulary word. Her overall understanding of English has really improved!
This student is working very hard at improving her English in order to pass a variety of
entrance exams for private schools. She is working on listening, reading, writing and
speaking skills.
This week she is working with her teacher on reading and understanding skills. She read
an article about New Zealand and was asked to write a summary for each paragraph
that she read. She did a great job reading out loud and understanding the essay.
Through reading she was able to pick out words she didn`t know and expand her
vocabulary this way. She then learned how to use them in sentences.
Another core part of her learning this week was new vocabulary. She is working off a list
of new vocabulary words and is studying very hard and learning to understand new
vocabulary and then create her own sentences, demonstrating her knowledge of the
word. She is off to a great start!
小さなキッズちゃんたちのために、毎年ハロウィンパーティを実施しております。今年もご近所のお店の皆さんにご協力頂き、"Trick or Treat!"に出かけましたよ。お菓子をたくさんもらって大喜びの子供達でした♥ 店舗の皆さん、お忙しいところご協力いただきありがとうございました!
This student loves talking about her weekend, her plans, what she ate and anything else that happened to her at school and room. She is able to hold long conversations with the teacher.
This week, she read a new book about a big turnip. Again, the book repeated a lot of the words, but she had fun reading the story and answering the questions the teacher asked.
Next, she worked on a phonics page. She reviews the same eight words and puts them into different sentences. Finally, the teacher tried teaching about proper nouns and regular nouns. It was a little tougher for her, so they will keep working on it more next week.
These students worked on the letter "Bb" this week. They learned the words "bird","baby", "book" and "boy". They did a really good job remembering the vocabulary for "Bb".
The students practiced writing the letter "Bb" by writing words that start with "B", like "Bat". The student`s handwriting continues to improve every week.
The students also played a game called "hands on your head", where they look at four different letters of the alphabet, and when the letter is called out they try to be the first one to slap the letter. They had a lot of fun and it also helped the students learn the letters even better!
Lastly, they played a memory game with school words. They know almost all of the words now and are able to say them very fast when they practice the flashcards. They had a lot of fun this week!
This student loves talking about her school life, her weekend and her love of stationery items. She often brings her new things to show the teacher. She is a very smart and well spoken student.
This week she worked on reading a list of items that happened and she had to put them in order. Once that was done, she had to write a title, a topic sentence, all of the details in order and then a closing sentence. She needed help putting the items in order, so the teacher assisted her with asking questions such as "what do you do first?". With those hints and clues, she put everything in order and wrote the paragraph.
