Monica Wehby is the Senate candidate Republicans have been waiting for: a camera-ready pediatric neurosurgeon, mother of four, in a party that desperately needs to elect more women.
Make that a candidate some Republicans have been waiting for.
The GOP establishment that wants her to be the party's Senate nominee in Oregon this fall has showered her with big money, attention and endorsements from the likes of Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney and more than a dozen sitting senators.
But she's hit some resistance from conservatives — and from another Republican with a story as compelling as her own.
Wehby, 51, a moderate on social issues, is considered by many to be the best positioned Republican to put in play the blue state seat held by one-term Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley. And she's already begun developing a national profile.
"She would put this race on the map," says Jennifer Duffy, senior political analyst at the non-partisan Cook Political Report.
"Democrats," she says, already scrambling to defend more than a half dozen in-play Senate seats, "don't want that to happen."
In an early salvo, the Oregon Democratic Party this week filed an election law complaintclaiming that Wehby had improperly coordinated campaign activities with a super PAC supported by a lumber company executive she's close to.
But Wehby is also facing strong and familiar criticism from within her own party that she's not conservative enough on social issues – particularly on abortion, which she has said is a woman's choice.
"Monica Wehby has her way of describing herself as pro-life, which is a little disingenuous," says Gayle Atteberry, executive director of Oregon Right to Life. "She says she's pro-life because she saves little babies with her medical skills, but the fact is she supports abortion rights."
Atteberry's group, which is backing the other top candidate in the primary race, social conservative state Rep. Jason Conger, 46, has launched fierce radio attacks against Wehby.
With polling in the primary race both scarce and unreliable, it's unclear whether the attacks have gotten traction with GOP primary voters. Or, conversely, whether voters have been persuaded by Wehby's well-funded effort, including a heart-tugging ad that featured her life-saving medical work and attracted national attention.
Wehby defeated Conger 182-131 in an early March straw poll at the Dorchester Conference, an annual party event founded five decades ago by former GOP Sen. Bob Packwood. Some social conservatives, however, boycotted and held a separate event. (Conger shuttled between the two.)
"The race is clearly between Dr. Wehby and Jason Conger," says former state GOP chairman Perry Atkinson. "And the two are representing the differences within the Republican Party."
Atkinson, president of a Christian broadcasting company in Medford, Ore., where he hosts a weekday program, says he's been careful not to endorse either candidate. But he says he believes that nominating more moderate Republicans like Wehby has not paid dividends in the liberal-leaning state.
Ronald Reagan, in 1980 and 1984, was the last Republican to carry the state in a presidential election. And a Republican hasn't captured a statewide race in Oregon since 2002 when moderate Gordon Smith won his second term as U.S. senator.
Merkley, 57, defeated Smith in his 2008 reelection bid, the same year Obama won the state by a 16-point margin. Obama captured nearly 55 percent of the vote four years later in the high-turnout state where Democrats have an 8-point voter registration advantage over Republicans. (About a third of Oregon's voters are not affiliatedwith either major party.)
"This is the frustration – we haven't been able to get a moderate Republican elected to anything, yet the establishment side of the party keeps bringing these candidates forward," Atkinson says.
Wehby's position on abortion and her tacit support of same-sex marriage — government, she has said, shouldn't be involved in personal decisions — stand in stark contrast to Conger's opposition to both.
She's also being dinged by Conger backers for her 2008 support of health care legislation written by Oregon's other U.S. senator, Democrat Ron Wyden, which had similarities to the federal Affordable Care Act. Wehby in 2009 appeared in a national television ad strongly criticizing Obamacare, though she has subsequently expressed support for aspects of it.
"She is saying she wants to repeal and replace Obamacare," Atkinson says. "That's a red flag for conservatives – repeal is one thing, replace is just putting another government program in place."
In interviews, Wehby has advocated scrapping the ACA and starting over.
The issue of Obamacare is in play in Oregon, which recently scrapped a failed $248 million-plus health care exchange system, which Conger voted for, and began directing residents instead to the federal exchange system.
The failure was so catastrophic — no one was enrolled through the exchange — that it was featured in a segment on the recent debut of comedian John Oliver's cable talk show, "Last Week Tonight." The sharp, mocking episodemerited wide press coverage in the state, and illustrated the hurdle Merkley faces on the ACA issue in November.
"I think both Dr. Wehby and Jason Conger can whip Merkley," says state GOP chairman Art Robinson. "Both of them are very strong."
"Both candidates adhere to most Republican positions," he says.
National Republican leaders have clearly bet that Conger, the father of five and with a compelling biography that arcs from poverty and homelessness to Harvard Law School, will find his path to statewide success blocked by his opposition to abortion and same-sex marriage.
Packwood, who represented Oregon in the Senate for more than 26 years before resigning under an ethics cloud in 1995, has been brutally blunt.
"I cannot pick a guaranteed winner," he said during the Dorchester event in March. "But I can pick a guaranteed loser. Jason Conger is a guaranteed loser."
Wehby's path, however, is not without its own complications. The Oregonian reported Wednesday morning that surgeries performed by Wehby are under scrutiny in a medical child abuse case brought against a woman accused of putting her children through unnecessary procedures. Wehby has referred questions to her employer, Legacy Health. The case goes to trial a day on the eve of the official primary day.
before the primary voting deadline.
Primary voting has already begun. Oregon is a vote-by-mail state, and election officials started mailing ballots to registered Republicans on April 30. Voting continues to the official primary day, May 20.
The editorial board of Portland's alternative newspaper, Willamette Week, last week surprised some with its endorsement of Conger in the GOP primary. The board allowed that while its members probably agreed on more issues with Wehby, they found her wobbly on some, and "all over the map" on Obamacare.
Conger, they concluded, is "far more prepared" to give the low-key, low-profile Merkley a stiff challenge.
Duffy, the political race analyst, however, rates the race in the "solid Democrat" category unless it's Wehby who emerges as the nominee. Then?
"I'll rethink the rating," she says. And the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, struggling to keep the party in control of the Senate, may have to cough up some money for a race strategists never expected to worry about.

We can be encouraged by the example of others. It's in the Bible, I Thessalonians 3:7, NIV. "Therefore, brothers, in all our distress and persecution we were encouraged about you because of your faith."
Reflecting on our eternal hope in Christ offers encouragement. It's in the Bible, I Peter 1:6, TLB. "So be truly glad! There is wonderful joy ahead, even though the going is rough for a while down here."
We are encouraged through encouraging others. It's in the Bible, Romans 1:11-12, TLB. "For I long to visit you so that I can impart to you the faith that will help your church grow strong in the Lord. Then, too, I need your help, for I want not only to share my faith with you but to be encouraged by yours: Each of us will be a blessing to the other."
Encouragement comes from remembering how God has led in the past. It's in the Bible, Joshua 24:16-17, "And the people replied, 'We would never forsake the Lord and worship other gods! For the Lord our God is the one who rescued our fathers from their slavery in the land of Egypt. He is the God who did mighty miracles before the eyes of Israel, as we traveled through the wilderness, and preserved us from our enemies when we passed through their land."
Build each other up by finding something you appreciate. It's in the Bible, I Thessalonians 5:11, NIV. "Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing."
Consistently encourage new believers. It's in the Bible, Acts 14:21-22, TLB. "They helped the believers to grow in love for God and each other. They encouraged them to continue in the faith in spite of all the persecution, reminding them that they must enter into the Kingdom of God through many tribulations."
Encourage your church leaders. It's in the Bible, I Thessalonians 5:12-13, TLB. "Dear brothers, honor the officers of your church who work hard among you and warn you against all that is wrong. Think highly of them and give them your wholehearted love because they are straining to help you."
God offers encouragement when we're feeling down. It's in the Bible, Jeremiah 29:11, TLB. "For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."
God promises encouragement when I need it. It's in the Bible, Psalm 138:3, TLB. "When I pray, You answer me, and encourage me by giving me the strength I need."
For your encouragement, remember God isn't finished with any of us yet. It's in the Bible, Philippians 1:6, TLB. "And I am sure that God who began the good work within you will keep right on helping you grow in his grace until his task within you is finally finished on that day when Jesus Christ returns."

FTC Disclosure Compliance Rules
In 2015, the Federal Trade Commission released their new rules for Disclosure Compliance.
These rules are set in place to ensure that readers or viewers of web media are aware if the blogger or publisher is sponsored, endorsed, or partnered with a different company. The readers need to know if the content publisher is making money by sharing a link or product.
In compliance with the FTC guidelines, please assume the following about links and posts on this site:
Any/all of the links on thesecures.com are affiliate links for which I receive a small compensation from sales of certain items.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Purchases are made on external affiliate company websites: when a reader clicks on an affiliate link located on thesecures.com to purchase an item, the reader buys the item from the seller directly (not from thesecures).
Amazon and/or other companies pay thesecures a small commission or other compensation for helping to bring customers to their website.
Prices are exactly the same for readers whether they purchase is through an affiliate link or a non-affiliate link. Clicking an affiliate link and clicking a non-affiliate link does not change the price or anything else for the visitor.
Thesecures uses two main types of affiliate programs:
1. Amazon affiliate links.
thesecures.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for website owners to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites, as well as to other websites that may be affiliated with Amazon Service LLC Associates Program.
2. Product affiliate links.
If you click a product affiliate link and buy the product, then I will get a percentage of the sale or some other type of compensation.
Again, prices are not different if you use these affiliate links. You will not pay more by clicking through to the link. These links are not "pay per click."
What about sponsored content?
I do not write sponsored posts. I want to provide authentic, un-biased information. However, if a company would like to publish sponsored content on thesecures, I will disclose this clearly in the beginning of the post.The bottom line is that I only recommend products I use myself or that I would recommend to family and friends.
Your purchase helps support my research efforts. Thank you very, very much! I appreciate you!

Prior to transferring to San Jose State University all transfers must earn at least 60 transferable semester units (90 quarter), including the CSU four basic skill courses required for CSU admission eligibility (except majors which have an approved CSU GE A3 waiver). Within those 60 semester/90 quarter units, students are strongly encouraged to complete the following:

Complete as many of the lower division courses required for the major as possible. Many of these courses may be double counted as part of the CSU GE-Breadth 39 semester unit requirements. The lower division major courses for this major are shown above.
2. General Education Requirements:
Complete all the CSU GE Breadth requirements at the community college (39 semester units/58 quarter units).

Please see your college counselor/advisor to review your general education in order to receive FULL OR PARTIAL CERTIFICATION PRIOR TO TRANSFER to San Jose State University.
3. Second Course in English Composition highly recommended:

If there is one thing that most people tend to worry about when it comes to cork flooring in Lowell, it has to be the nature of the installation. According to industry experts, the biggest challenge that most people encounter with cork floors is improper installation. If you choose the wrong technique, there is a good chance that your cork floors will not look as good as you had imagined. This is quite a bummer, given that whenever you are planning some work on your floors, you will always be looking forward to quality results.
How do I tell whether Lowell cork flooring is an ideal alternative for me? This is a question that most people barely ever get to think about, even though it is so important, and can help you determine whether you are making the right decision with this installation. Conducting a needs assessment before you decide on the ideal type of floor for your house is something that you will definitely need to plan around effectively. If possible, hire an expert to help you do this. If, for example, you are the kind of person that is conscious about their environment, cork floors would be ideal for you. This is because there is minimal wastage, and more importantly, the materials are recyclable.
There is a lot of work that goes into choosing the ideal type of floor that you will have installed in your home. Besides, different cork oak trees will produce a variety of cork with different densities. Remember that the denser the cork is, the stronger and more durable it will be for you to use as your Lowell cork flooring option. As you plan for this, always ensure that you make informed decisions, backed by relevant statistics and facts. That is the only way for you to be in a good position to benefit from the installation of cork flooring in Lowell.
The first thing that you need to think about when you are planning for cork flooring in Lowell is getting the right installer. You need someone who has experience in the industry: someone who has been doing this for many years so that they can bring to your house the incredible experience that will yield amazing results in the long run. If you do not do this, there is a good chance that you will end up not getting the kind of results that you desire, and you might not even like the outcome on your floors.
There are some simple Lowell cork flooring damages that you can avoid at home. One of them is to put felt protectors on the corners and the feet of your furniture so that you can avoid getting indent marks on the floor. This will not only protect your floor but will also make it easier for you to protect the furniture from incessant pulling and dragging.
The easiest way for you to avoid getting dirt and debris on the cork flooring in Lowell is to get floor mats. Floor mats are a good way to make sure that whoever is coming into the house does not really need to worry about dragging in the dirt. It is the dirt and debris that eventually cause scratches on the floor, giving the floor a terrible look.

This is the sequel that leads you further into the dungeons. Grimlor is back and stronger than ever. Three complete episodes. This game has more traps and puzzles to solve. Move boulders to block arrow shooting walls, use rivers to float to secret rooms and teleporters to jump to hidden treasures. Help to destroy Grimlor's source or power and save the village. This was the second in the Grimlor series and sold much better than the first.This game can be played at a playable speed on faster machines by editing the file named SPEEDAT.DOG and changing the number to something like 300000. The higher the number, the slower the animation. You might want to use a program like DOSBOX to emulate a slower processor for more playable speeds on faster computers.

According to a Senate investigations subcommittee, Microsoft Corp., Hewlett-Packard Co. and other multinational corporations took advantage of an ambiguous U.S. tax code to avoid paying billions of dollars in taxes.
Here's how Bloomberg wraps it up:
"The committee memo, released in advance of a 2 p.m. hearing in Washington today, said Microsoft used transactions with subsidiaries in Puerto Rico, Ireland, Singapore and Bermuda to save at least $6.5 billion in taxes. In 2008, Hewlett-Packard Co. created a series of short-term internal loans that allowed the company to tap its offshore cash for domestic operations without paying taxes, according to the memo."Senator Carl Levin, a Michigan Democrat and chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, didn't accuse the companies of acting illegally."
"Major U.S. corporations are increasingly earning their profits here but shipping them overseas to avoid paying the taxes they owe," Levin, of Michigan, said in a statement. "At a time when we face such difficult budget choices, and when American families are facing a tax increase and cuts in critical programs from education to health care to food inspections to national defense, these offshore schemes are unacceptable."
William J. Sample, a Microsoft vice president appeared before the committee, and defended his company.
"Microsoft complies with the tax rules in each jurisdiction in which it operates and pays billions of dollars each year in total taxes, including U.S. federal, state, and local taxes and foreign taxes," Sample said according to his prepared remarks.
But, he added, Microsoft believes the U.S. tax code should be simplified.
"In our view, the U.S. international tax rules are outdated and are not competitive with the tax systems of our major trading partners," Sample said. "These rules all too often provide a disincentive for U.S. investment. The U.S. now has the highest corporate tax rate among OECD countries and, unlike our major trading partners, taxes the worldwide income of its domestic corporations."
According to CNN, the report also found that HP keeps most of its cash in foreign currency.
"For example, in 2009, Hewlett-Packard held $12.5 billion in foreign cash, but only $800 million in the United States," CNN reports. "It only pays taxes on the U.S. portion, while tapping a series of ongoing 'short-term' loans that, taken together, stretched for 30 straight months, according to the panel."

Steps to Overcoming Teenage Anger
Everyone feels low from time to time, so it's not always easy to know when it is part-and-parcel of daily life, and when it's time to seek help. In most cases, it is short-term and self-correcting, but for a significant minority this is not the case. For those individuals, it is important to seek treatment just as you would any other health condition. Here we discuss six warning signs which, together, might indicate that it's time to seek professional help.
What are the signs?
- You've been feeling low or irritable for most of the day, every day for two weeks or more. You might have found yourself worrying about past or future events for long periods of time, or simply feeling sad, cross or tearful. Sometimes it's hard to recognize a gradual change – have others noticed that you don't seem your usual self?
- You've lost interest in activities that you used to enjoy. Perhaps you have been seeing less of your friends or family recently, have stopped going to the gym, or cooking balanced meals. This is really about recognizing changes in what's normal for you – no one is saying you have to exercise five times a week or eat your greens, but changes in your routine can offer concrete indications that your mood is changing.
- You are struggling to concentrate. You might notice that you struggle to focus when reading or watching television, for example, or to follow the thread of a spoken conversation. This could be affecting your performance at work, or limiting your ability to perform routine tasks such as food shopping. Again, we are looking for a change in what's normal for you, so if concentration has always been something you find tricky there is little cause for concern.
Bear in mind that no one of these signs is in itself indicative of depression, and there are other, perfectly good reasons for each of these symptoms occurring. It's also important to know that there are several types of depression and each can present in different ways – read more about types of depression. A GP is always a good first port of call, as they can signpost you towards more specialist services if necessary. Otherwise, if you are sure you'd like to see a mental health professional, consider making an appointment to see a psychiatrist who will be able to give you a diagnosis and advise you on which treatment might work best for you
A GP is always a good first port of call, as they can signpost you towards more specialist services if necessary. Otherwise, if you are sure you'd like to see a mental health professional, consider making an appointment to see a psychiatrist.
In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.

Can depression be cured?
Depression, like many mental health conditions, follows 'the rule of thirds': One third of sufferers will make a full recovery, one third will partially respond to treatment, and one third will not benefit from treatment at all. Your age, the duration of your symptoms, having a family history of depression, and co-occurring mental or physical health difficulties might all affect your prognosis. Some researchers believe that there is evidence for a 'scarring' effect, where the likelihood of suffering from a relapse in depression increases with the number of episodes you have already had. There is also an increased risk of suicide associated with severe depression.

The Frankfurt Motor Show shouldn't disappoint car fans, with new models for 2015, 2016 and beyond, as well as forward-thinking concepts for the automobile of tomorrow. Getting a lot of attention at the Frankfurt auto show was the Porsche Mission E, a futuristic, sleek, fully electric sports car from the German luxury car maker. Unlike anything on the road at the moment, it has no rear view mirrors, but instead relies on cameras to cover the blind spots. Capable of travelling 500 km on a single charge, it can replenish its batteries within minutes.
A taste of the car of the future according to its maker: "Since with a concept car you would like to really give a glimpse of the future, you have as a designer much more freedom. You can dare to do things that at least nowadays are not yet legal, but you hope that they will become legal in the future. So we have more freedom," says chief designer Michael Mauer.
All the ingredients that are transforming here, that are changing several areas of the car, are technologically totally needed to achieve this fantastic aerodynamic value. Steffen Koehl, head of Global Advanced Design
Another concept car that caught attention in Frankfurt was the Mercedes Intelligent Aerodynamic Automobile. A one-off showcase of the brand's aerodynamic prowess, it boasts a drag coefficient of just 0.19. To accomplish this unprecedented level of slipperiness, Mercedes has developed a dynamic, adaptable body structure that literally changes shape with the push of a button. Even the wheels reduce their indentation to become completely flat, allowing air to slip down the car's sides.
According to Steffen Koehl, head of Global Advanced Design at Mercedes-Benz, "all the ingredients that are transforming here, that are changing several areas of the car, are technologically totally needed to achieve this fantastic aerodynamic value."

Accessible text of the dissemination brochure: Introduction Figure 1: Young girl with an alternative communications board. SENnet brings together key actors, in particular policy-makers and teachers, to improve learning for students with special needs in mainstream schools through the use of technology. The term "special needs" is not well defined internationally according to the OECD, but it usually covers those for whom a special learning need has been formally identified because they are mentally, physically or emotionally disadvantaged. While technology can benefit all students, for those with disabilities it can change lives. It enables them to access learning, gives them greater autonomy, unlocks potential for those with communication difficulties, enables tasks to be personalised and increases confidence, provided teachers are adequately supported. In a recent report (TALIS, 2013), teachers stated that their greatest needs were using technology and supporting students with special needs. SENnet was funded by the European Commission over three years to November 2014 and continues its work. At the network's core are partners from seven countries – Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Italy, Portugal and Turkey – coordinated by European Schoolnet. There are four areas of activity: networking, research, digital resources and teacher support. On the following pages we describe what happened in each area, what was learnt and how you can find out more. Networking: peer learning in action What happened The primary aim of SENnet was to build up a sustainable network of policy-makers (including members of European Schoolnet's Special Needs Education Working Group) and practitioners in the field of special needs and ICT. Activities included national and European communities of practice, networking key influencers in 30 countries and 13 seminars and peer learning visits to schools, ministries and specialist centres in six countries. What was learnt A SENnet Facebook group is proving popular, active and useful, with over 200 members, mostly teachers, posting messages in a range of languages. The peer learning visits, combining workshops with ministry and agency representatives and school visits, provided a unique insight into innovations, successes and challenges related to the use of ICT for inclusion of students with special needs in mainstream schools. Some highlights: · Italy, Florence: there is a national policy of mainstreaming of students with special needs since 1977, supported by 90 regional centres; 208,000 students are identified as having special needs; a vocational school was visited. · Belgium, Brussels: There is a national policy to provide students with dyslexia with digital versions of textbooks; a hospital school was visited and a video-conferencing system demonstrated. · Denmark, Copenhagen: Research shows that inclusion benefits all students, provided teachers are competent; there are strong moves to integrate the 84,000 students identified as having special needs into mainstream schools · Austria, Bad Hofgastein: 4% of students in Austria are described as having special needs; a well equipped school was visited providing individual care within a mainstream campus; there is a summer computer camp for visually impaired students. · Portugal, Lisbon: All but 1,600 of the 50,570 students with individual education plans attend mainstream schools; 25 regional centres support teachers; schools with coordinated multi-agency support were visited. · Estonia, Tallinn: There are 28 special schools and a strong emphasis on parental choice; an all-age school, including 80 with students with special needs, was visited – 96% of students bring their own device. Find out more: · Sign up to the Facebook group, join national communities, read the workshop and visit reports (details on the back page). Reports and studies: documenting good practices · In most EU countries more and more students with special needs are integrated into mainstream schools rather than special schools. The report shows in detail how this is taking place country by country. · Universal Design for Learning is relatively unknown in Europe but has much to offer, in particular the principle of multiple means of representation, expression and engagement to cater for individual needs. By designing learning environments from the outset to meet the challenge of individual differences, including the challenges of students with disabilities, we make better learning environments for everyone. · Tablets, often personally owned, remove the stigma of being different. Thanks to the integration of text-enlargement, voice-transcription, location-aware and text-to-speech technologies, mobile devices can dramatically improve the learning of students with physical disabilities (UNESCO, 2013). Find out more: · Read the thematic and innovation reports; watch the video case studies* Digital learning resources What happened At the start of SENnet's activities a search for 'special needs' produced just 17 resources in the Learning Resource Exchange, a single access point to some 200 000 resources in national collections. Network members, led by STIL Denmark set about identifying digital resources of particular value for learners with special needs, both already in the LRE and resources suggested in a European survey. As the label 'special needs' is too broad to be useful, partners worked with experts on extending the range of terms to describe resources and make them discoverable in large databases. What was the outcome? · 630 free resources were identified in the Learning Resource Exchange in a range of languages, mostly for students with special needs but also some for professional development. · An extended metadata application profile and vocabulary allied to the IMS Access For All specification that has been designed, documented and tested, and reported at conferences for standards bodies based not on disease or disability but on what the resource provides, e.g. text to speech, keyboard control, simplified language, visual enhancement. · Over 200 Open Educational Resources, identified by partners, were tagged and added to the Learning Resource Exchange. They are mostly available under Creative Commons licences. · A dedicated SENnet collection (http://lreforschools.eun.org/web/guest/sennet) in the Learning Resource Exchange, containing links to more than 600 OERs in ten languages in the LRE of particular value for learners with special needs. · A prototype accessible interface designed and implemented in SENnet, in eight languages, adaptable for other projects, devices and web sites. Find out more: Read the reports on the processes behind this work: Survey Report on the availability of digital resources for special educational needs and Resources for learners with SEN on the LRE. Professional development modules What was done? DGE Portugal developed an open online course for teachers in mainstream schools to help them understand better special needs education, assistive and inclusive technologies and support their work in with students with special needs. The course is in English and modular so that localization, translation and adding further resources by network members was a simple matter. Six modules were created: · Inclusion of students with special needs in mainstream schools · Instructional accommodations and modifications · Universal Design for Learning · Web Accessibility · Assistive Technologies · Accessible Open Educational Resources In total some 2 000 teachers took part in the courses. Portugal ran three national courses, one of them a MOOC, with over 900 participants. Estonia ran four national courses. In both cases, courses were tutored and participants certified. Italy, Belgium, Austria and Turkey have localized modules and made them available in their national platforms for self learning, validated by users. What was learnt? · There is a strong demand from teachers to build their capacity to supporting students with special needs and, in some cases, a sense of isolation and frustration when students with disabilities move from special to mainstream schools. · There is no 'one size fits all' solution to professional development in ICT and SEN. In some countries teachers prefer a face to face course, in others a short online self-access course, and in others courses that lead to accreditation, but sufficient evidence has been gathered in SENnet to suggest that there is an unmet demand for online courses on special needs and ICT. Find out more: Take a look at the English course, localised and translated by partners in Austria, Belgium, Estonia, Italy, Portugal (MOOC) and Turkey Testimonials and challenges · "Invaluable learning about strategies and policies of other countries, and sharing it with colleagues in Denmark" Partner · "Close cooperation with Austrian SEN community" Partner · "Shared best practice between project partners and possibility to disseminate it among Estonian teachers" Partner · "Awakening conscious about ICT usage in SEN, reaching more resources about SEN in Turkish Education System, cooperation with SEN Schools and Directorate in The Ministry" Partner · "The SEN vocabularies will be used in the Italian digital content repository; the peer learning visits and research reports have been feeding our knowledge and research activities"Partner · "SENnet reinforced activities led by the Portuguese network CRTIC and it will continue activities, namely: assessing students' needs, production of video and adapted materials, and teacher counselling and training." Partner · "In Belgium we started the development of e-learning modules (a dream that was waiting for a long time) and the school visits and policy in other countries were eye-openers" Partner · "More such initiatives are highly needed!!!"

Pink Pearls Foamflower*
Tiarella 'Pink Pearls'
* This is a "special order" plant - contact store for details
Plant Height: 6 inches
Flower Height: 12 inches
Spacing: 10 inches
Hardiness Zone: 3
Ornamental Features
Pink Pearls Foamflower has masses of beautiful spikes of lightly-scented white bell-shaped flowers rising above the foliage from mid spring to mid summer, which emerge from distinctive rose flower buds, and which are most effective when planted in groupings. The flowers are excellent for cutting. Its lobed leaves are green in color. As an added bonus, the foliage turns a gorgeous burgundy in the fall. The dark red stems are very colorful and add to the overall interest of the plant.
Landscape Attributes
Pink Pearls Foamflower is an herbaceous evergreen perennial with tall flower stalks held atop a low mound of foliage. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other garden plants with less refined foliage.
This is a relatively low maintenance plant, and is best cleaned up in early spring before it resumes active growth for the season. Deer don't particularly care for this plant and will usually leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. It has no significant negative characteristics.
Pink Pearls Foamflower is recommended for the following landscape applications;
- Mass Planting
- Rock/Alpine Gardens
- Border Edging
- General Garden Use
- Groundcover
- Container Planting
Planting & Growing
Pink Pearls Foamflower will grow to be only 6 inches tall at maturity extending to 12 inches tall with the flowers, with a spread of 12 inches. When grown in masses or used as a bedding plant, individual plants should be spaced approximately 10 inches apart. Its foliage tends to remain low and dense right to the ground. It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 10 years. As an evegreen perennial, this plant will typically keep its form and foliage year-round.
This plant does best in partial shade to shade. It requires an evenly moist well-drained soil for optimal growth. It is particular about its soil conditions, with a strong preference for rich, acidic soils. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution, and will benefit from being planted in a relatively sheltered location. Consider covering it with a thick layer of mulch in winter to protect it in exposed locations or colder microclimates. This particular variety is an interspecific hybrid. It can be propagated by division; however, as a cultivated variety, be aware that it may be subject to certain restrictions or prohibitions on propagation.
Pink Pearls Foamflower is a fine choice for the garden, but it is also a good selection for planting in outdoor pots and containers. It is often used as a 'filler' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination, providing a mass of flowers against which the larger thriller plants stand out. Note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden.

Cape Canaveral Wind/Hurricane/Tornado Claims Adjuster
For highly experienced expert claims adjusters, Keys Claims Consultants, LLC is all you need. Living in the state that has received the most number of hurricanes in history, it is a wise decision to have a trusted claims adjuster by your side. Houses and buildings in Florida are very prone to windstorms strong enough to damage property.
Direct, physical property damages from strong winds, hurricanes, or tornadoes are covered by most insurance policies. They are relatively easy to deal with, especially if the damage is obvious. But there are cases where the situation can be quite tricky, leaving the insured with less than what they deserve from their insurance policies.

Why You Need A Windstorm Claims Adjuster
Claims adjusters are trained to analyze damages to property and recommend which ones are covered by the insurance policy. Insurance companies usually deploy their claims adjusters, which generally tend to lean toward the interests of the insurer more than the insured. With Keys Claims Consultants, LLC, you can be assured that we will be fair and accurate with our work as much as possible. We will protect your rights according to the terms and conditions of your policy.
You will see how vital it is to have a personal claims adjuster due to the nature of natural storms. In the aftermath of a windy hurricane or a tornado, there are cases where the damage is evident, although the covered damages may still need a fair claims adjustment.
On the other hand, there are situations where the covered damages can be vague and be therefore skewed against you. The details can be tricky, and the terms may not work for you. A good example is how insurance policies for flood damages and windstorm damages are different. You can have damages caused by hurricane winds that the insurance provider won't recognize because they consider them as flood damages.
A claims adjuster will be able to fight and excellently negotiate with the insurers on your behalf so you can get the best out of your insurance. Ultimately, the chances of you getting a higher payout will increase. Here in Keys Claims Consultants, LLC, we are also dedicated to providing you with not just financial gains, but also emotional and mental support.

Snoring & Sleep Apnea
You know it instinctively: A good night's sleep is essential for good health. It makes you feel rested and ready to take on the world. Yet many people don't get the sleep they need. Sometimes this is related to sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBD) — their own, or those experienced by their sleeping partners.
SRBD is characterized by recurrent episodes of reduced or interrupted respiratory airflow. This is caused by soft tissues near the back of the throat collapsing during sleep so that they partially close off the windpipe. These tissues — the tongue, for example — can vibrate as air passes by, causing snoring. Snoring is often worsened sleeping on one's back because this encourages the lower jaw to slip back, which in turn pushes the tongue in front of the airway.
Loud snoring often disturbs the person in the bed who isn't the one doing it, robbing him or her of vital sleep. The snorer, on the other hand, may seem to be slumbering peacefully, but this might not actually be the case. Chronic loud snoring is a common symptom of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA; "a" - without; "pnea" - breath), which occurs when the upper airway is blocked to the point of causing significant airflow disruption, or even no airflow whatsoever for 10 seconds or more. This can be dangerous as reduced airflow into the lungs lowers blood-oxygen levels.
A person with sleep apnea may wake 50 or more times per hour — that's almost once a minute! — without having any memory of it. These awakenings, called micro-arousals, last just long enough to restore muscle tone to the airway so the individual can breathe. Unfortunately, all those micro-arousals preclude deep and restful sleep.
What to Look Out For
Obstructive Sleep Apnea is a serious matter as it can lead to heart problems and other health issues. It's possible you may have OSA if you snore and also suffer from any of the following:
- Excessive daytime sleepiness
- Irritability
- Poor memory/confusion
- Accident proneness
- Night sweats
- Morning headaches
- High blood pressure
- Obesity
How We Can Help
By now you're probably wondering: What does my dentist have to do with all this? Here's the connection: Snoring or sleep apnea can sometimes be treated with an oral appliance available here at the dental office that's designed to hold the lower jaw forward during sleep. This repositioning of the jaw moves the tongue away from the back of the throat, reducing the potential for obstruction. This treatment is backed by a great deal of scientific evidence; it's a good remedy to try before moving on to more complicated breathing devices or surgery to remove excess tissues in the throat.
Only a dentist can fabricate, fit, adjust, monitor, and treat complications associated with Oral Appliance Therapy used in managing SRBD. So if you or a loved one is experiencing any combination of the signs and symptoms mentioned above, please come in and talk to us about Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT). Even if something beyond OAT is called for in your particular case, we will make sure you get the help you need.
