The 2e Center, located on the campus of Bridges Academy in Studio City, California, was developed to create and sustain an innovative, multi-disciplinary hub where professionals, scholars, and practitioners combine efforts. In this column, we'll share what's happening at our center and report research findings, teaching ideas, and parenting suggestions we have found to be successful in helping 2e kids thrive. We hope you'll find the information useful and relevant.
The 2e Center supports the professional development of the faculty at Bridges Academy, where we are located. In an effort to ensure that strategies they use are meeting the needs of their twice-exceptional students, Bridges teachers work with the Center to develop action research studies. In this column we'll be sharing the most interesting of these studies. In this issue we feature an action research study conducted by the team of teachers in the Phoenix Program at Bridges Academy. [To find out what an action research study is, see the sidebar at the end of this article.]
The Phoenix Program, specially designed for students completing fifth and sixth grade, has two primary goals:
To meet these goals, students participate in both project-based learning (PBL) and a predetermined curriculum for content-area instruction in math, science, and humanities. The table below shows the difference between the two.
Type of Instruction
Source of Direction
Degree of Differentiation
How the Instruction
More student-driven and organic
Through two types of opportunities:
Predetermined curriculum
Relatively more teacher-directed and inclusive of routine and structure
Ongoing, using teacher-prepared units of study.
All forms of instruction within the Phoenix Program are designed to meet student interests and strengths while scaffolding areas in need of support. Within enrichment clusters, Phoenix Program students participate in a 10-week offering based upon their interests. They collaborate to set goals and define what they would like to contribute to the cluster, using their strengths and talents. Examples of clusters include:
Cluster activities, which include field trips, projects with deadlines, and group work, all require the students to become aware of and practice socially acceptable behaviors, facets of time management, and skills of collaboration and cooperation. Integrated into the cluster's activities and products are academic skills across content areas.
Project Weeks take place three times a year and consist of these events:
One Project Week (which actually took place over two weeks) was entitled "Ancient Egypt on Display." During the course of this session, fifth and sixth graders immersed themselves in designing an Egyptian museum. They organized into five groups — builders, mathematicians, artists, archaeologists, and scientists -- and set goals, developed action plans, and prepared for authentic work.
The builders focused intently on building a room-sized, walk-in pyramid made out of cardboard sand-coated bricks. The scientists and artists spent their days completing artifacts such as mummified fish and a gold painted sphinx as they became experts on ancient Egypt. The mathematicians kept track of costs and allocated materials to the different groups, provided some drawings to scale, and studied the ancient Egyptian money system. The archaeologists prepared hieroglyphic renderings and exhibits about Egyptology. The session culminated in offering tours of the museum to the greater community. Some of the students conducted tours, while others provided short presentations. Still others designed and distributed flyers about facts of ancient Egypt.
Three teachers within the Phoenix Program, Michael Dennis, Lisa Ried, and Michael Beer, wanted to explore the impact of PBL on the behavior and performance of fifth- and sixth-grade 2e students. They designed an action research study entitled "The Effect of Problem-Based Learning on Student Behavior and Production." The study included three classes of fifth- and sixth-graders, totaling 23 boys and 4 girls. The students chose the enrichment cluster that interested them most. For Project Weeks, they were either assigned to a talent group — such as artists, engineers, storytellers, or historians — or they chose their working group based on their interests. Their teachers facilitated the clusters and PBL working groups using the same classroom management system implemented when teaching the predetermined curriculum. Over the course of the year, the students spent approximately half of their time in PBL classes (281 hours) and half of their time in predetermined curriculum classes (312 hours).
To track student behaviors, student discipline notices or "reflections" were collected and analyzed during predetermined curriculum and PBL classes. When students experienced difficulty in paying attention, meeting class rules, or finishing work, they were given reflection time to think about ways they could get themselves ready to learn. Using portfolio-based assessment and records of interactions with the students, teachers did qualitative analysis of student engagement, confidence, and performance.
The results of the study showed that student behavior improved dramatically during project-based learning when compared to traditional differentiated classes. Teacher-directed breaks for students to reflect on behavior were reduced by 95 percent, as shown in this graph.
Student productivity was equally impressive, especially among students who rarely finish their work and those reluctant to put anything in writing. For example, Josh, a student traditionally known to be resistant to writing assignments, surprised everyone with the work he produced in his PBL class. The difference in Josh's productivity is shown here.
The worksheet on the left, from his science class, shows reluctance to finish the work and engage in more extensive writing, even with adult prompting. The composition on the right is from a project-based experience. When provided an opportunity to develop a creative story around a particular scientific topic, Josh became immersed in his work. He ultimately included an advanced researched understanding of bridge design and the beginnings of quantum physics in a three-page, beautifully crafted story that would meet high school standards. More importantly, he became excited about his process, and he took pride in the product. This increased engagement and improved confidence remained present in much of his work throughout the remainder of the school year.
During PBL, students were allowed to engage in learning in ways that were natural to them, but not always obvious to the casual observer. For example, one student decided to create a cartoon of the topic he chose to investigate. While this student selected advanced readings for his project, it seemed to observers that he only scanned the materials. While he took a long time to draw pictures about what he learned, it appeared to others as though he was simply coloring and not taking the project seriously. Once he presented his cartoon to the class, however, it became apparent that what looked like a lackadaisical approach to the project actually exceeded expectations. The student pointed to each detail of his picture, explaining what it represented; and he very articulately expressed his new knowledge in a way that was not only informative but also engaging. In the end, teachers realized that they needed to step back from dictating and evaluating processes or risk holding back some students.
When asked about their experience working with the students during PBL, teachers and administrators all agreed that the students did the following:
The qualitative observations support the quantitative data gathered during this study. What accounted for this dramatic difference between student performance with predetermined curriculum and with PBL? With both types of instruction, teachers differentiated for student strengths and learning differences. The same teachers led both types of classes with the same students. However, there were some major differences.
An additional difference during PBL was that students developed their own strategies and techniques for working toward desired outcomes. Compared to teacher-supplied or teacher-suggested strategies, this meant more false starts and learning from mistakes. However, it also enabled students to discover unexpected strengths and talents. Throughout the course of a project, students were tasked with planning and following up on the steps needed to reach an outcome. They also budgeted time and money, adapting their initial ideas to arrive at creative, practical solutions.
Furthermore, teachers discovered the following ways of making PBL more effective.
We plan to continue to use PBL as a substantial component of our program at Bridges. Having gained a deeper understanding of the benefits of PBL, we would like to take some of its best elements — such as taking time to develop teacher/pupil relationships, offering time and freedom for student input, and valuing intrinsic curiosities and unconventional approaches — and integrate them into our predetermined curricula.
Richard Sagor, in Guiding School Improvement with Action Research, describes action research as "…a disciplined process of inquiry conducted by and for those taking the action" — in other words by and for teachers. He explains that the "primary reason for engaging in action research is to assist the 'actor' in improving and/or refining his or her actions."
The result of engaging in action research, according to Sagor, is helping "educators be more effective at what they care most about — their teaching and the development of their students…. When teachers have convincing evidence that their work has made a real difference in their students' lives, the countless hours and endless efforts of teaching seem worthwhile."

text: Seamers still a weak link for India Posted by Unknown On 19:38 Bailey bhanot Bhuvaneshwar Kumar Ishant Sharma MS Dhoni paras paras bhanot Vinay Kumar Yuvraj Singh Seamers still a weak link for India Though the Indian team would be high on self-assurance after its emphatic win over Australia in the second ODI, the perennial problem with seam-bowlers continues to be a being concerned factor. Indian seamers are still labouring to attach to the basics in the ongoing sequence against Aussies, their bowling has been attractive ordinary so far.In the one-off Twenty20, while batting first Aussie batsmen posted a formidable total of 201 runs. They literally toyed with the Indian bowling strike by striking boundaries at will. But the comeback man Yuvraj Singh came to their rescue by playing a blistering knock of 77 runs in just 55 globes as India chased the total with six wickets and two balls to spare.In the first ODI of the seven-match sequence at Pune, Australia won the toss and chose to bat first. And one time afresh Australian batsmen thrashed Indian bowlers all over the reserve, particularly the Indian seamers — Ishant Sharma and Vinay Kumar — who went for over 7.54 sprints in the 16 overs they bowled.Apart from their poor economy rate, their line and extent was another facet which would have bothered MS Dhoni. Even the Aussie tail-enders tallied sprints freely off Ishant. In fact, his catastrophic bowling in the first ODI compelled commentator Wasim Akram to state that Sharma desires to get better at bowling yorkers. Akram was once Sharma's adviser in the IPL-franchise KKR. India's famed batting line up disintegrated and India lost the game by humiliating 72 runs.In the second ODI, every person was expecting that Indian seamers — particularly Vinay and Ishant – would learn from their past errors and bowl a tighter line and length. But they one time afresh recurring their mistakes which assisted Australia to tally their highest total on Indian dirt surpassing their preceding best of 350 four which came at Hyderabad in 2009. The Aussies put up a mammoth total of 359 runs on the board. one time afresh, both the seamers were costly and went for over 70 runs each.particularly in the last ten overs, Indian bowlers looked clueless and conceded 122 sprints as George Bailey and Glenn Maxwell dispatched the Indian players on a leather-hunt.Their poor bowling performance even annoyed the 'cool and serene' Indian skipper MS Dhoni. He asserted in the mail agree ceremony: "We need to advance our bowling. The cause is that if you attempt a yorker and it becomes a low full toss, it's fine. But if it becomes a waist-high full toss, then the margin is too much. It's one area we are looking to improve."hit bowler Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, has impressed numerous with his wicket-taking proficiency with the new ball. His impeccable line and extent and the proficiency to swing the ball both ways have made him a powerful strike bowler. But so far his incompetence to provide the early innovations in the sequence has cost India affectionately.Though India has one of the best batting line-ups in the world, but even that can't guarantee a triumph each time their adversaries put up a total of over 300 sprints. Third ODI match of the series would be the last chance for Indian seamers to rectify their errors and bowl in the right localities not only to halt sprints but to choose wickets as well. Otherwise, Indian selectors have to take some definitive steps while announcing the team for the rest of the series by showing the doorway way to a twosome of the Indian bowlers. Another danger, particularly for Vinay and Ishant is that selectors have a twosome of choices in the form of Jaidev Unadkat and speedster, Umesh Yadav. So, before it's too late for the under-performers, they should rebound back in the third ODI which is to be performed on Saturday at Mohali – regrettably a placid track.

Mudgee's Glen Willow Sporting Complex is set for major changes after the Mid-Western Regional Council voted in favour of an updated Master Plan at a council meeting earlier this month.
The master plan outlines the delivery of additional facilities for netball, hockey, rugby league, rugby union, cricket, soccer and touch football at the complex, to help attract high profile teams to the region and increase local participation in sport.
Following feedback from sporting committees minor amendments have been made to the master plan. Changes include the replacement of the northern most cricket and AFL oval, with two multi-purpose fields; more carparking areas; more shedding locations; a location for cricket nets; alteration to the walking track/cycleway path; and potential future vehicle access to the complex from Cox Street.
The delivery of the Glen Willow master plan will take place over stages. The first stage is already complete, but the development of future stages may depend on external funding from sporting organisations.
According to the draft plan, of primary importance is the development of more playing fields and additional regional level fields complete with grandstand, amenities, media and other facilities in order to attract the level of competition necessary to attract other regional teams.
Have your say
The amended Glen Willow Master Plan is currently on public exhibition for 28 days for comment and community input.

Feedback needs to be provided by 4.30pm on Friday, 18 May 2018.

"By this we know that we are in Him: 6 He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked." (1 John 2:5-6)
You know, that you truly know Christ if you walk in obedience to His Word because it's manifested in the way your live. It's manifested in your obedience." In other words, we know that we know God because we keep His commandments.
John is teaching that salvation is evidenced by obedience. And, in turn, that obedience contributes to our assurance of salvation. Obedience is a sign that we know God, recognizing that He expects His people to live in obedience to Him.
In verse four, John restates verse three with a warning: "The man who says, 'I know him,' but does not do what he commands is a liar and the truth is not in him" (1 John 2:4). His point is that if you claim to know God but your life is not changed, then that is a sure sign that you don't know God. Why? Because the truth of God changes and leads a person to a transformed life. So, when that transformed life is not present, you can be sure that the person never studied or learned the truth; and thus has never know God.
Having the empowering of the Holy Spirit makes it possible for us to "walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory" (1 Thessalonians 2:12); and that there is no greater joy then to "walk in truth" (3 John 4) and in honesty (1 Thessalonians 4:12; Romans 13:13).
Christianity is not just knowing about God or knowing certain doctrines or following certain moral precepts. It is essentially to know God because God wants us to know Him. Jesus said, "This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent" (John 17:3). Christianity means knowing God personally through Jesus Christ, who revealed God to us.
There is a vast difference between knowing about a person and knowing that person. You may have heard some things about God that may or not be true, but until you have made Him the Lord of your life, you really do not know Him or understand that He deserves to be the absolute Master of your life.
In our text, John says that if we are abiding in Christ, we will walk as He walked. This means that He is our supreme example for living. Jesus showed us how we should live in total dependence on the Father and in complete submission to His will, no matter how difficult. Jesus declared, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner" (John 5:19). He also said "… I always do the things that are pleasing to Him" (John 8:29).
While no one can make similar claims, everyone who claims to abide in Christ should have the same focus and direction, not to act in independence from God, but in total dependence on Him. We should not live to please ourselves apart from God, but to do the things that are pleasing to Him.
To walk as Jesus walked means that our lives should be characterized by daily dependence on God, submission to Him, and obedience to His will. Our overall aim in life will be to seek first His kingdom and righteousness. We will seek to please Him by our thoughts, words, and deeds. While we will never perfectly walk as Jesus walked, it should be our constant aim and effort to do so.
So ask yourself, "Do I know Christ?" Have you trusted in Him as the propitiation for your sins? If so, ask, "Do I know that I know Him?" How? "Do I obey His Word and seek to walk as Jesus walked?" If that is the direction and focus of your life, then you can know that you know Him.
We need to understand there are reasons that we obey. We obey because we have to; we obey because we need to; or we obey because we want to. And that the believer obeys God's word because he wants to – for the relationship between him and God is one of love. Jesus said, "If you love me, you will obey what I command" (John 14:15).
We are asking you to look inside your being and answer this question: Are you keeping God's commandments? While keeping the commandments is not a condition for salvation, it is a sign, an evidence, of your salvation – a mark of a Christian. In fact, partial obedience is another name for disobedience.
Please remember that: "As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. 15 But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; 16 for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy." (1 Peter 1:14-16)

I am Pork Lion, Hear Me Roar
Dear E,
Sorry for the delay! Stupid computer problems have kept me away.
A few weeks ago it was our turn for dinner. I asked N if he had any ideas for dinner and he said, "anything, but can you take care of it?" Okay then!
I decided on a stuffed pork tenderloin with vegetables. Simple but not too lazy!
I really liked the leek, shallot, and mushroom stuffing (epicurious recipe). I swapped out shiitakes for criminis, as I felt they would work better (plus N doesn't like shiitakes).
For some reason tying up meat always makes me feel accomplished and fancy.
Unfortunately G was sick! When I discovered that you would be arriving solo, I decided to make half of the asparagus. You hear that, G? You rate an entire extra pound of asparagus! 🙂
I threw together a super thin jus-that-was-supposed-to-be-gravy (oops) and some garlic mashed yukon gold potatoes. I don't roast the potatoes before mashing like you do, but I do boil the garlic with the potatoes and I leave the skins on. My grandma makes the best garlic mash... I try to copy her.
We split Southern Tier's Choklat Stout, all agreeing that it would be delicious in a chocolate cake. Mmm, chocolate cake...
After dinner we played a few rounds of Uno...... I almost don't want to admit it. I was hoping to play Ra again, but not with three people. Maybe next time!
Hope to see you this weekend!
Administrivia note: I fixed the problem with disallowing comments on older posts.
More …
Hi J -
I think I am still feeling... the deep-fried-bday-hang-over. But wait, there is more ...
Apple Fritter breakfast while I write this post. Mmm.
This is one tasty apple fritter. I strongly concur that N is good with the deep frying.
Back to dinner ...
I don't know the reason I decided on beef again, after CFS dinner last week. Perhaps I was replaying G's general sentiment that I do not cook beef often. Some type of braised beef I thought ... On Wednesday, I cut up a brisket and marinated the big cubes in the usual suspect of soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger and garlic. I was still unsure where the dish is going. The next day, I browned the meat and asked your thought on braise vs. curry. You were very helpful and decisive - curry it will be.
browned meat deglaced with wine + stock & curry powder + chili garlic sauce
I left the pot on simmer for a couple of hours, with the exhaust fan on high, there is still a faint curry smell around the house. On Saturday, chilled and rested, I removed the layer of fat*, broke up the large cubes, added vegetables - onions, daikon, carrots, a can of coconut milk an hour and half before serving. After an hour of simmer, the vegetables were still crunchy. Yikes. My fear the vegetables may be too mushy were unfounded. I turned up the heat slightly, put the meat back in, and hoped for the best.
In the meantime, I made some plain rice, reheated some fried tofu, steamed some store bought dumplings, and stir fried some bok choy.
Phew, the vegetables were ok, and I have plenty of sauce to pour over the tofu. Yum. Personally, I would make a whole meal with just the sauce, vegetables, and tofu ...on rice. But that's just me.
After dinner, we played G's favorite, Acquire. I think he felt the worse out of all of us, even with my allergy self and your day. It was a very active game, with a lot of takeovers! I earned the highest personal return $43,600 and still lost the game to N!
We wrapped up the night with mocha beans and some girl scout cookies. Thanks for bringing the bean game over. I should really deal with that one missing card...
*Unlike N, who is organize and trims meat before cooking. I am lazy.. and prefer to skim fat after cooking.
Deep Fried Goodies and Greenies
Happy March, E!
Phew! It's been quite a week over here. Snow, sleet, rain, sun, rainbows! Seattle, don't ever change.
Last weekend we celebrated your birthday (if belatedly)! That means we have to have something crispy and deep-fried and something full of creamy, tasty fat-- am I right?
Well, we did exactly that with an addition of tasty raw greens:
kale and brussels sprouts salad
I found the recipe for Kale & Brussels Sprout Salad on epicurious. It was published in Bon Appétit November 2011, as part of the Thanksgiving menu. The reviews on epicurious are overwhelmingly positive for a RAW lacinato kale and brussels sprouts salad, and I found that interesting and appealing.
A couple of mods: I used less olive oil in the vinaigrette, less cheese in the salad, and more brussels sprouts than specified. Brussels sprouts were shredded in the food processor and that worked GREAT. I held back about 1/4 of the kale/brussels sprouts mix and tossed the salad with the vinaigrette ~3 hours before dinner in an effort to tenderize the greens a bit. Then I mixed the held aside greens into it before serving. I don't think I would add the vinaigrette that much earlier next time unless I were feeding people who dislike crisp salads. That said, reviews said that the salad held up to being dressed and sitting in the fridge for up to a week, so I don't think it hurt the texture that much.
As N said, "add it to the rotation!" I'll make it again.
Speaking of N, while he grumps a little bit about deep frying stuff, he is good at it and does seem to enjoy the actual frying.
CFS fingers
For you, CFS eating champ, Chicken Fried Steak fingers! N seasoned the meat and the flour and dredged it a couple of times in order to get the appropriate amount of coating.
plated, with red dots of Frank's Red Hot
Along with the salad and CFS fingers, I tossed some potatoes with some rosemary and roasted them, nothing fancy. I liked the CFS because it turned out fairly tender on the inside. Yum. We were still left with lots of leftovers, despite my worries that we wouldn't have enough chicken fried steak!
After dinner we gave our stomachs a break and played a little bit of Uno before birthday dessert.
Tiramisu. I bought the lady fingers though I'd like to try my hand at making them-- next time. I'm glad I bought the lady fingers though, because I had a recipe picked out, but I noticed that the recipe on the back of the lady fingers bag looked more traditional, so I made that one instead.
While assembling, I was worried about the lady fingers losing their integrity, so I dialed back the amount of liquid I soaked them in too much, giving it a weaker espresso taste than I intended. Even though the tiramisu sat overnight, the lady fingers still had a bit too much texture to them when we chowed down on it on Saturday night. When I had a little piece of the leftovers on Sunday after my hockey game, their texture was perfect. Next time I would either let it rest for two nights after assembling or use a bit more of the marsala-espresso-brandy-vanilla liquid to drench the lady fingers.
Of note -- the Alessi lady fingers have a side that is sugared and a side that is plain. To help with the cookies not falling apart, putting the sugar side down (so the plain side is the one that gets the liquid) is the best option.
Some silly present opening happened...
Pickle ALL the Things
Lots of coffee and another round of Uno later... Happy (much belated) Birthday, E!

The architecture and fittings
Kangaroo Ground Presbyterian Church is not like the great cathedrals of Europe or the historic wool churches of England. It is only a small Australian country church but it is well loved by its congregation. We have provided some photographs on the previous pages. Here are some of the architectural details and features:
15. The technical term for the multi-coloured arch over the window is a "polychromic voussoir". The motif is repeated in the arch of the porch and in the bricks around the round ventilators in the front and rear walls.
16. One of the quirky aspects of the Church is that the centre of the pulpit is not on the centreline of the Church. Presumably it was made too wide and had to moved to the right so that the door to the vestry was not obstructed.

What a year 2011 has been! A big thank you to all the great clients that I've had an opportunity to work with thoughout the past year.
The design of my Christmas card this year is about the frenzy that the season brings. A phantom view of an escalator in a mall is the showcase for the bustle of holiday excitement with shoppers.
Designed as both a Christmas card and promotional holiday postcard, the scene reflects both the top and bottom of an escalator.
I wish the best of the holiday season to everyone as you deal with your own "Festive Frenzy"!
Seasons greetings and all the best in 2012!

Press Releases
Day of success at River Paddle Challenge
- Details
- Published on Monday, 26 November 2018 15:09
Taking place at Dufour Park, paddlers of all ages and disciplines tested themselves in the river estuary, where the course was laid out through a series of canals.
Race director Mike Zoetmulder, of Zsports, said the event was "a great success".
"By using the high tide we were able to create an interesting layout on the river which provided a lot of fun for everyone," he said.
"For the first time there were also four surf boats which took part, with each consisting of a crew of five rowers and a sweep. They competed over a 1km course and a 3km distance."
He said the day was not necessarily about the results but focused more on providing fun paddling challenges with a difference.
"This event is quite different to the normal rowing and canoeing races you have and that aspect attracts a lot of interest from those involved in the sport.
"Even though it's more about enjoying the event, I must point out that Luke McNish was the dominant competitor during the day, taking the paddle board, mixed doubles and the single ski [long canal course] events."
The event catered for paddlers from U12s to the 65-plus category and included singles, doubles, triples and stand-up paddling.
The objective behind the day was to raise funds for the Zwartkops Conservancy, an environmental organisation which works continually to maintain the eco-system of the river and its surrounds to ensure the survival of flora and fauna.
"It is such a magnificent river in the greater scheme of things that it needs to be looked after," said Zoetmulder.
"Through the entries and raffles we had during the day we were able to raise a substantial amount for the Zwartkops Conservancy, which will assist them to continue the excellent work they do."
SPAR EC sponsorships and events manager Alan Stapleton said they were delighted to be involved once again.
"This is a very happy event which serves to re-emphasize SPAR's commitment to raise awareness of the dangers of plastic," he said.
"It also provides a platform to show what the Zwartkops Conservancy is all about and what they do to keep the river and our environment clean."

Install Go on Raspberry Pi
February 26, 2017
Go Programming language is becoming popular in IoT sphere as well. I am very fascinated by Go powered robotics/IoT framework Gobot and planning to play with it using my RPi.
This post explains how to install Go on Raspberry Pi.
My RPi
(2 Model B) shows it has ARMv7 processor.
$ uname -m
Go's current stable version 1.8 has official ARMv6 build available for download Since ARMv7 compatible CPU can execute ARMv6 code, let's download Go 1.8 ARMv6 build and install it.
# Download archive
$ wget https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.8.linux-armv6l.tar.gz
# Extract it into /usr/local. It will create a Go tree in /usr/local/go
$ sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.8.linux-armv6l.tar.gz
# Add /usr/local/go/bin to the PATH environment variable.
# You can do this by adding a line to your /etc/profile
# (for a system-wide installation) or $HOME/.profile as shown below
$ echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin' >> $HOME/.profile
# Above PATH setting will work when we re-login. Export it in current session as well.
$ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
If all above steps worked fine, you will be able to execute
go commands. Let's check version.
$ go version
go version go1.8 linux/arm
Sweet! Follow this guide to test the new installation by building 'Hello World!' program.
You will soon be installing external libraries/packages using
go get.
The go get fetching of source code is done by using one of the tools mentioned here
and it is expected to be found on your system. I installed git from that list using below command
# Using apt-get, since I have `Raspbian` installed on my RPi
$ sudo apt-get install git

Eddie's commitment to his students, colleagues, and investors, and really to the SBRE industry, epitomizes what small balance real estate is all about. He wholly deserves this honor and we are glad to be a part of it.
Portland, Ore. (PRWEB) July 19, 2016
The CapitalFlow Conference in Portland OR at the end of July will be the scene of the SBRE Awards, including the inaugural SBRE Hall of Fame ceremony. The purpose of the conference is to gather together leading small balance real estate entrepreneurs, including fund managers, syndicators, private lenders, and others operating small balance real estate businesses to share ideas, experiences, and best practices in the way they systematically raise capital to fund their deals.
On Friday at the conference, several SBRE entrepreneurs will be recognized for their achievement in the industry. Included in this group will be NoteSchool founder and Colonial Capital Management fund manager, Eddie Speed, who will be the first ever inductee into the SBRE Hall of Fame which recognizes lifetime achievement in the field of small balance real estate.
"It's an incredible honor being placed into the SBRE Hall of Fame and especially as its first inductee", said Speed. "With all my industry peers and their incredible successes, it's very humbling to be selected by such a high caliber organization. I accept this induction with my deepest appreciation and gratitude to Fairway America."
Speed started in the note business in 1980 at an early age and has now been involved for over 35 years. He founded NoteSchool with the mission to provide superior training and vision concentrated on the note industry that is timely, relevant and accurate and is presented in ways that are easy to comprehend and implement so that it leads to superb results. NoteSchool takes pride in delivering the highest level of note training that produces a path which enables its students to create wealth and a secure financial future.
In addition to running NoteSchool, Speed and his colleagues at Colonial Capital Management also operate a small balance real estate pooled investment fund focused on purchasing discounted notes. Colonial engaged Fairway America in 2014 to assist them in setting up their fund as well as to handle the fund administration. Colonial has raised more than $12,000,000 in investment dollars since its inception, including funds from its listing on SBREfunds.com.
"We have had the pleasure of working with Eddie and his team for the past several years", said Matthew Burk, Fairway America's and SBREfunds.com's CEO. "Eddie's commitment to his students, colleagues, and investors, and really to the SBRE industry, epitomizes what small balance real estate is all about. He wholly deserves this honor and we are glad to be a part of it."
The CapitalFlow Conference has been designed to continue to help facilitate the SBRE community of entrepreneurs and investors. The event will be held annually in Fairway's home town of Portland OR and is expected to attract the leading SBRE entrepreneurs and fund managers from around the United States to gather each year for mind share, mutual learning, collaboration on the key issues they all face, and to enhance their capacity to successfully raise capital for their SBRE enterprise.
In addition to Speed's induction into the SBRE Hall of Fame, awards will also be given in four SBRE categories as follows: Fund Manager of the Year, Emerging Fund Manager of the Year, SBRE Entrepreneur of the Year, and SBRE Syndicator of the Year. Winners will be determined by a combination of factors including online voting at SBREfunds.com.

Studies of musculoskeletal stress markers (MSM) generally note relatively low rates of interobserver error. However, levels of error could vary depending upon the selection of attachment site and/or experience of observers. All could potentially affect the quality of MSM data and have notably negative effects on interpretation of activity patterns, especially given the small size of many taphonomically compromised bioarchaeological samples. This study assesses both intra and interobserver reliability in MSM scoring using 58 individuals from two Late Woodland/Mississippian skeletal series from west central Alabama. Using two primary scoring methods [(Hawkey and Merbs (1995) and Villotte et al. (2010)], seven evaluators representing a range of experience levels (undergraduate to PhD) recorded MSM expression at 17 muscle attachment sites on the long bones. Results strongly suggest that variability in scoring patterns were specific to MSM sites using both methods. Attachment points such as supinator and popliteus that generally exhibited little morphological remodeling had overall high agreement among all scorers. Other sites, such as deltoideus and quadriceps femoris, that displayed greater morphological development showed a broad range of scores, with up to 20% of sites having scores assigned to non-adjacent categories on Hawkey-Merbs' three-point scale. No pattern by level of experience was evident. In contrast to interobserver results, intraobserver error levels were generally low. These findings suggest that MSM data must be carefully interpreted, especially concerning site selection, and data comparison across researchers, since this could adversely affect interpretation of specific activity patterns.

National CBD office market vacancy rate fell slightly in the first quarter of 2016, from 12.6% to 12.4%, with Sydney continuing to improve and Perth going from bad to worse.
The JLL research showed vacancy rates in the Sydney office market now stand at 6.8%, while in Perth nearly 25% of office space is empty.
The figures showed positive net absorption of 67,300 sqm over the quarter across CBD office markets and 273,000 sqm over the past 12 months.
JLL's Head of Strategic Research Australia Andrew Ballantyne said, "Financial market volatility had limited impact on leasing enquiry and activity over Q1. An improvement in business conditions over the quarter showed that companies were willing to look through the short-term volatility and make long-term strategic real estate decisions."
"One of the drivers of leasing activity is companies seeking to evolve organisational culture. Real estate is a visual element of corporate culture and the implementation of an innovative fit-out can assist with collaboration, innovation and team work," said Mr Ballantyne.
The Sydney CBD recorded positive net absorption of 35,800 sqm in 1Q16 and 145,700 sqm over the past 12 months. As a result, the Sydney CBD vacancy rate tightened from 7.8% in 4Q15 to 6.8% in 1Q16. Vacancy is now below 7.0% for the first time since mid-2008 in the Sydney CBD.
JLL's Head of Office Leasing, Australia, Tim O'Connor said: "The tenant demand recovery has broadened across the Sydney CBD and leasing activity was positive across a wide range of industry sectors. The professional services and education sectors are in expansionary mode, while enquiry is at very high levels from small and medium-sized businesses."
"The compulsory acquisition of assets for the Sydney Metro project and the conversion or redevelopment of office assets will displace tenants and is generating an additional source of leasing enquiry in the Sydney CBD. Over 300 tenants are in the process of being displaced and this will exert downward pressure on A and B Grade vacancy rates and upward pressure on effective rents," said Mr O'Connor.
Prime gross effective rents in the Sydney CBD increased by 2.9% in Q1 and by 11.3% over the past 12 months. From the most recent trough in prime gross effective rents (4Q13), Sydney CBD prime gross effective rents have increased by 15.9%.
Mr O'Connor said: "The headline vacancy rate will record a marginal increase over the second half of 2016 as new development completes. However, the organic growth we are seeing across a range of industry sectors is leading to above-trend net absorption and the cyclical vacancy peak will be lower than we expected 18 months ago. Vacancy will compress sharply in the Sydney CBD over 2017 and 2018 as stock is withdrawn from the market."
The Melbourne CBD recorded 31,400 sqm of positive net absorption in 1Q16 and 107,000 sqm over the past 12 months. As a result, the vacancy rate compressed from 10.0% in 2015 to 9.2% in 1Q16.
Mr O'Connor said, "The contribution of centralisation to the Melbourne CBD net absorption result was minimal in Q1. The strong net absorption figure was related to the organic growth of existing CBD based occupiers with strong activity from public sector, education users and professional services firms."
While the physical market recovery in Melbourne has mirrored Sydney, Melbourne CBD rental growth has underperformed relative to the Sydney CBD. Prime gross effective rents increased by 0.7% in 1Q16 and by 2.5% over the past 12 months.
While Sydney and Melbourne were responsible for a high proportion of CBD office market net absorption over the quarter, five of the six monitored CBD office markets recorded positive net absorption over 1Q16.
Canberra recorded above-trend net positive net absorption of 13,700 sqm in 1Q16 and 27,800 sqm over the past 12 months. As a result, Canberra's vacancy rate tightened to 13.4% in 1Q16.
JLL recorded a fifth successive quarter of positive net absorption in the Brisbane CBD. Net absorption was 2,600 sqm in the quarter and 22,100 sqm over the 12 months to 1Q16.
The Perth CBD was the only monitored CBD office market to record negative net absorption in 1Q16 (-17,100 sqm). A number of mining and professional services firms relinquished excess space and vacancy increased to 24.5% – the highest rate since 1993. Prime gross effective rents fell by 5.1% in Q1 and have contracted by 43.1% from the cyclical peak in mid-2012.
The Adelaide CBD recorded net absorption of 1,000 sqm in 1Q16 and vacancy tightened to 16.6%.

By now, you've probably seen that JetBlue
Actually, there's no telling exactly what will occur. JetBlue said it might take delivery of all 30 jets it has on order for next year, and sell or lease older models. Would any of them be Embraer jets? It's possible; JetBlue has taken delivery of 21 of the company's aircraft, mostly new E190 regional jets.
The newness of the E190 should prevent it from being a part of any planned cutback. History, too, favors the Embraer aircraft: JetBlue was the first American carrier to employ the E190 for low-cost regional transportation.
Still, anything is possible, including delays or cancellations in existing orders. Remember: JetBlue CEO David Neeleman in January told a crowd of analysts that the E190 was experiencing operational issues, and that the plane "certainly hasn't been up to what we thought we could do."
So is a paring-back of the JetBlue order book -- which includes an 80-plane backlog as of this writing -- likely? And, if so, how badly would that hurt earnings? I'm unconvinced the company will turn its back on Embraer. But if it did, the cutbacks probably wouldn't be huge (JetBlue has to grow, after all), leading to only a temporary blip in earnings.
Moreover, Embraer is becoming increasingly diversified, with a global client list and a thriving executive-jet business. China's HNA Group has 100 planes on order, while U.S. Airways
Perhaps that's why investors bid up the firm's shares by another 3% on Wednesday. Or maybe it's that, as bad as it would be to see Embraer lose orders from JetBlue, the jet maker's backlog has grown from $10.2 billion in June to $13.3 billion today. Little, if any, of that gain in orders is attributable to JetBlue.
Taxi toward related Foolishness:
- The news out of JetBlue can't be too surprising; regional jet orders have plunged.
- But don't worry; Embraer will still fly ...
- ... Thanks to its privates.

"Crazy moments are okay. Because you have your crazy, and then you're done. Now you get to be done."
And that's so liberating, heartbreaking, thrilling and powerful all in the same moment.
I found out this weekend that absolutely nothing I thought of as my reality was the truth. The hundreds of pieces of my life I was already scrambling to put back together shattered into thousands.
And then I just got angry. You don't do those things to people and they let it go.
He once told me, "You're kind of like that girl from Silver Linings Playbook, except she talks more."
I talked. And I went a little crazy.
He said nothing.
He was way too selfish from the beginning.
It wasn't for him in the first place. He never listened while he was lying, anyway.
And now I'm done.

In Manning v. Arch Wood Protection, Inc., a federal district court in Kentucky denied the defendant's motion to dismiss and allowed a product liability lawsuit to move forward.
Fred Manning had worked as a line mechanic on a line crew for Kentucky Power Company from 1990 until 2013. During that time, Manning claimed to have been exposed to toxic levels of arsenic that were contained in chromated copper arsenate, which is a substance that was used to preserve the wood in utility poles and cross-arms. This exposure allegedly took place while Manning handled, sawed, and drilled wood treated with chromated copper arsenate as part of his employment duties. Manning claimed that as a result, he had been poisoned and suffered resulting health problems.
Manning alleged that the defendant knew of the health hazards caused by exposure to chromated copper arsenate, but not only failed to warn of its danger, but also deceptively persuaded the Environmental Protection Agency to eliminate the proposed mandatory warning labels for wood treated by chromated copper arsenate. Moreover, despite knowing the hazards of exposure, the defendant allegedly claimed that treated wood could be handled in the same way as untreated wood. Manning claimed that the defendant knew, or should have known, that the wood's hazards would result in Manning's injury, as well as his wife's deprivation of the benefits of their relationship.
Arch Wood Protection filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, claiming that the complaint did not allege sufficient facts to state a claim of relief that was plausible on its face. The federal court considered each claim to see whether it could withstand the motion to dismiss. First it considered whether Manning had adequately alleged a failure to warn of the product's danger. To do so, Manning needed to have asserted sufficient allegations to allow at least a reasonable inference that the defendant made, sold, or distributed the product that caused his injury.
In the complaint, Manning alleged that the defendant manufactured the chromated copper arsenate, that it sold the chromated copper arsenate to Manning's employer, that it took place during the time Manning worked on the line crew, that Manning was poisoned by exposure, and that Manning was diagnosed with adverse health effects consistent with exposure to arsenic. The federal court found that these facts were sufficient enough to withstand the motion to dismiss.
The court then looked at the defendant's argument that Manning's complaint should be dismissed because the defendant never manufactured the wood that Manning used. However, the court noted that it was enough that the chromated copper arsenate that treated the wood could have caused Manning's illness.
Finally, the court rejected the defendant's argument that the complaint should be dismissed because the defendant had no duty to warn the end-user of potential risks associated with products treated with chromated copper arsenate. The court stated that similar claims had not been dismissed in the past because they had established a reasonable expectation that the discovery period would reveal evidence of the requisite evidence. The court further noted that Manning had met the standards under Kentucky law for alleging facts that a component part was unreasonably dangerous and that defendant had failed to warn. As Manning had pled sufficient facts, the court denied the defendant's motion to dismiss. The case will now move into the discovery phase, where the defendant may try again to dismiss it through a motion for summary judgment.

Samaraweera is responding to advice given by Anu Nayake of Asgiriya Chapter Wendaruwe Upali to former defence secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa to rule the country like another Hitler if he is elected the next executive president.
The prelate has told Gotabhaya that he was being referred to as Hitler, and that it was the Buddhist clergy's advice to him to shape the country by becoming even a person like him.
Referring to that, Samaraweera says that he is ashamed as a true Buddhist who accepts the Buddhist philosophy to hear the prelate's grave and malicious remarks.
He says that anyone knowing the nature of the military rule of Hitler and having an iota of sense will not make such a shameless statement.
Nowhere in Buddhism is any reference to give counsel to such dictatorial rulers, he notes.
A descendent of the Devadatta?
Only a descendant of the Devadatta will make such an extreme and dangerous remark, he says.
Briefly detailing how Lord Buddha preached how a country's governance should be, Samaraweera says even schoolchildren knew the importance of social justice and righteousness.
He urges the country's Buddhists to pay serious attention to the Anu Nayake's remarks.
Sri Lanka never allowed dictators
Explaining the character of Hitler and comparing it with the Rajapaksa rule, he says that in Sri Lanka, the people never allowed dictators to rule the country.
He points to the notorious remark by a female singer after Mahinda Rajapaksa lost the 2015 presidential polls that he should have killed to preserve his position, and says the latest example shows that that extremist thinking has come to stay among the Buddhist clergy too.
Stressing the need to protect Buddhism from the unworthy, the minister calls for an immediate convocation of Buddhist monks to clense it.

So this is the lovely Madame de Montreuil wallpaper from Les Indiennes that I wanted for the master bathroom. No real reason not to get it, other than its high price and its durability in a small bathroom with poor ventilation, but I also liked the idea of a challenge in creating something similar on my own.
So those of you who have been following for a while know that in Singapore in March of 2011 I purchased these traditional floral Indian wood blocks designed to print fabric with the intent of making my own "wallpaper" in the bathroom. Like any project, there is always some other work that needs to come first and I had been waiting on the installation of the pocket door in this earlier post.
So with that finally done and the sheetrock repaired and painted in BM White Dove as the base background, I bought paint and poster paper, set up a workspace and got to work practicing my block printing technique. Wow, it was so much more difficult than I had imagined and my first attempts were just awful! I had too much paint in the tray and trouble figuring out how much blotting I needed to do before stamping. I was looking forward to an irregular organic look, but not this organic!
I wanted to try out different patterns so I did a dense one, which was waaaay too busy, but more importantly, made me realize that as this isn't wallpaper, I don't have a partial block print option and need to leave space between each row so it can finish cleanly around wall edges and the ceiling.
Aha! Now this was starting to look right. And I liked the idea of a band of the small flowers above the tile and bisecting the wall behind the toilet. We even considered a square border of the little flowers all around on each wall – a fillet à la the Dowager Duchess of Devonshire – but discarded it as the room is just too tiny. I did this just casually eyeballing it, so luckily my sweet and very mathematically smart husband decided to help by figuring out the exact spacing and placement for the walls.
Hours of work went into these documents and the success of the project really hinges on his work more than mine.
While the design had started to come together, the quality of the actual prints was not so good. Here's a close-up of one of the practice flowers – you can see the paint is very thick and three-dimensional.
Then late that night it finally occurred to me to actually research how this should be done and lo and behold, I discovered I was missing one essential piece, a small rubber roller called a brayer. So day two and off to the craft store we went! The brayer solves the gunky paint issue by controlling how much goes on and keeping it on the design part of the block only and out of the deep recesses. You can see from the practice below how much better the printing looks.
We took turns and painted the bathroom all in one evening. Sweet husband would work with a T-square and level and make tiny pencil registration marks (which were so small I couldn't photograph them) on one wall and then I would paint there. Then we would switch off for the next wall. I didn't realize how physically exhausting this would be, but it was like an extreme workout with a few hundred lunges and squats – squat and roll the paint, climb the stepstool, push with my arms raised, climb back down, squat again. Days later and I am still extremely sore.
Here is a little video – totally unrehearsed and you can hear how tired I am as I am almost slurring my words – but in the heat of working we forgot to take any more footage. Painting on the wall was very different from painting on the poster board as the wall was much harder and absorbed less paint and I needed to really work it on by pressing, rocking and banging. I even got adept at making repairs by adding paint to the block only in the spots that hadn't printed well.
As I said before, having the design perfectly planned and marked on the wall made this project much easier than it would have been and guaranteed a great result.
We even went so far as to plan out the exact location and dimensions of the towel bar and did not print there, leaving the space perfectly clear.
How pretty and perfect is this Florence glass towel bar from Pottery Barn? The shape of the escutcheon mimics the shape of the flowers. More on all the accessory details in the final reveal post!
I am holding back on photos for one final post showing the whole bathroom, so just keep in mind that none of these photos do justice to the room or how fabulous the painting came out. It is softer and prettier than any actual wallpaper would have been!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend! XO

Host Russia faced Spain in the fourth match of the Round of 16 and eliminated La Roha after a dramatic penalty shootout at Luzhniki Stadium, Moscow.

Russia equalized in the five minutes before the break when Dzubya leaped to win the ball on a corner kick and it hit Pique´s raised hand the referee pointed to the spot and consulted VAR replays and booked the defender.
Spain has continued their domination and kept ball possession throughout the second half too, but could not break in. The match had to be moved to extra time.
Akinfeev dived to save a Rodrigo shot in the one added minute at the end of extra time to huge cheers from the crowd as the game went to penalties.
Koke´s penalty was saved by Akinfeev and Golovin stepped up to smash home and give the hosts the advantage, but Ramos kept Spain in it before Cheryshev put the hosts on the brink of victory -- and then Akinfeev saved Aspas´ effort with his foot to send them through.
