Reasons for Designation
Medieval rural settlement in England is marked by considerable regional diversity in form, size and type, and the protection of archaeological remains of such settlements needs to take that diversity into account. In order to do this, England has been divided into three broad provinces on the basis of each area's distinctive combination of nucleated and dispersed settlements. The provinces have been further divided into sub-provinces and small local regions. This monument lies within the East Wessex sub-province of the eastern province which is characterised by nucleated settlements, both surviving and deserted, in an area of chalk downland with smoothly contoured valleys and winter streamflow. The settlements typically appear in chains along the valleys where water supply was assured. It is also an area in which moated sites and settlements with greens are uncommon, the latter contrasting markedly with sub-provinces to the east and north east. Ringworks are medieval fortifications built and occupied from the late Anglo- Saxon period to the later 12th century. They comprise a small defended area containing buildings which was surrounded, or partly surrounded, by a substantial ditch and a bank surmounted by a timber palisade, or rarely, a stone wall. Occasionally a more lightly defended embanked enclosure, the bailey, adjoined the ringwork. Ringworks acted as strongholds for military operations and in some cases as defended aristocratic or manorial settlements. They are rare nationally with only 200 recorded examples, and less than 60 with baileys. As such, and as one of one of a limited number and very restricted range of Anglo-Saxon and Norman fortifications, ringworks are of particular significance to our understanding of the period, and all examples with surviving remains are considered to merit protection. The shrunken settlement at Old Erringham represents the predominant, nucleated form of medieval rural settlement within the eastern Wessex region. It survives well, despite some later disturbance by modern development, and contains both standing buildings and substantial earthworks. Erringham exhibits a good range of component features, and part excavation has shown that it contains archaeological remains and environmental evidence, some of which relates to the rarely represented early medieval phase of its development, illustrating the continuity between later Anglo-Saxon and post- Conquest settlement in this area of Sussex.
Legacy Record - This information may be included in the List Entry Details.
The monument includes a shrunken medieval settlement, incorporating a
ringwork, manorial settlement, chapel-of-ease and earthworks representing the
tofts and crofts of homesteads. It is situated on the western slope of a chalk
spur which forms part of the Sussex Downs, c.3km north of the Channel coast at
Shoreham. The settlement enjoys extensive views over the River Adur to the
west and the coastal plain. The western edge of the spur, c.95m to the west of
the monument, is formed by a natural river cliff, representing the original,
eastern extent of the tidal estuary before the river was embanked in the early
post-medieval period.
The focus of the village is indicated by a ringwork constructed during the
11th century AD near the edge of the river cliff, strategically placed to
overlook the then navigable river estuary. The ringwork is represented by an
artificially raised platform defined by a low, curving edge up to c.1m high,
which survives for a length of c.20m around 35m to the SSW of Old Erringham
Hall. Part excavation between 1963-66 revealed that the ringwork defences were
formed originally by a bank, which has since slumped over a surrounding, now
buried, v-shaped ditch c.3m wide and up to c.2m deep. These were augmented by
a timber palisade, and a possible entrance through this was identified towards
the south west. Contemporary remains associated with the ringwork in the areas
to the east and north have been masked by later landscaping connected with the
gardens of Old Erringham Hall, and partly disturbed by the construction of
later medieval and post-medieval structures, including a limekiln dating to
the late 15th century. The south western part of the ringwork was damaged by
the erection of Fairview Cottages during the 1960s, and the lowered and
levelled area which contains the modern cottages and their gardens is
therefore not included in the scheduling. The 1960s excavations suggested that
the first buildings at Erringham date to the middle-late Anglo-Saxon period.
Traces of a weaving hut dating to the years between c.AD 750-950 were found
around 180m to the south west of the later ringwork. The hut was largely
destroyed during improvements to the adjacent A283 road by quarrying and the
construction of a farm track, and although further remains dating to this
period will survive in buried form, these are not sufficiently understood at
present to merit inclusion in the scheduling.
Situated within the ringwork is a small, roughly west-east aligned,
rectangular building interpreted as the chancel of a now disused chapel-of-
ease. The mainly flint rubble-built chancel, which is Listed Grade II,
measures c.6m by c.4.5m. It is lit by two small Caen stone dressed, single-
light windows set in the northern and southern walls. These have semicircular
heads internally and are unglazed, with external rebates and deep internal
splays. The windows have been dated to the late Anglo-Saxon-early Norman
period (c.AD 1025-1125), and represent the earliest phase of the building.
The inserted eastern lancet dates from the late 12th-early 13th century and
has two lights partly blocked at a later date with bricks and flint rubble.
The north eastern and south eastern corners of the building are reinforced
with Caen stone quoins, and a scratch dial has been etched onto one of the
south eastern blocks. The roof trusses are of crown post construction and date
mainly to the 13th century, indicating that the original roof was replaced at
this time. The chancel, which was thatched until the 1930s, is now roofed with
asbestos, shows signs of modern repair and has an inserted floor of modern
concrete. The western wall has been rebuilt and a modern door inserted into
the southern wall near the south western corner. Excavations of the area
immediately to the west of the chancel in 1957 revealed traces of an adjoining
rectangular structure interpreted as the nave of the chapel. The excavations
suggested that the chapel had ceased to fulfil a religious function by the
later medieval period, and by the 17th and 18th centuries was in use as an
agricultural building. The ground containing the nave was disturbed during the
construction of Fairview Cottages, and this area is therefore not included in
the scheduling. Associated with the chapel is a graveyard indicated by two
adjacent, shallow, east-west aligned inhumation burials discovered within the
southern sector of the ringwork. The best preserved of these measured c.2m by
c.0.7m, and the body had been laid directly in the grave with the head to the
west. The head and neck were supported by flat chalk blocks and smaller blocks
were found at the feet. Accompanying the burial was a glass linen smoother
dating to the late Anglo-Saxon period. The graveyard can be dated to the years
before the Norman Conquest of AD 1066, after which time ecclesiastical law
required the inhabitants to be buried at the parish church at Old Shoreham
c.1.5km to the south.
Further buried remains relating to the early phases and later development of
the focus of the shrunken settlement will lie within the area to the north
east of the chapel, occupied by the buildings and landscaped garden of Old
Erringham Hall. The Hall, which is Listed at Grade II, represents the original
manor house and dates to the medieval period, although the building was
substantially altered and extended during the later 16th century.
Further homesteads, tracks, cultivation plots and associated features survive
in the form of a group of earthworks up to c.1m high in the areas to the south
east of the manor and chapel. These have been partly disturbed by the
construction of a flint barn during the 19th century, by several modern access
tracks and the excavation of a silage clamp in 1957.
Place name evidence confirms that the village at Old Erringham was founded
during the Anglo-Saxon period; Erringham means `land in a river bend' in Old
English. Originally lying in Old Shoreham parish within the Rape of Bramber,
the earliest written record of the settlement is an entry in the Domesday Book
of 1086, when the manor was held by William de Braiose. Further documentary
evidence suggests that the tithes were paid to Sele Priory at Beeding, and
that part of the village was sold to William de Harcourt during the 12th
century. The settlement survived the Black Death of 1348-9 in reduced form,
and became largely depopulated as a result of the social and economic changes
of the 15th century. Much of manor was bought by the Colville Bridger Estate
in 1776.
Old Erringham Hall (Listed Grade II), all outbuildings, including the 19th
century flint barn, all garden walls and structures, all modern fences and the
modern surfaces of all hardstanding, tracks, paths and patios are excluded
from the scheduling, although the ground beneath these features is included.

Skander Garroum@skagarroum · Co-Founder Airy
cool product, cheap pricing, works on android and iOs. Better usability is needed in a lot of apps nowadays, this should help developers understand their users behavior.
@SkaGarroum thanks for your thoughts buddy. Our burning desire is to see apps getting better and hopefully we will be a part of the solution.
Kevin William DavidHunterHiring@kwdinc · Community @Siftery. No 1 Hunter on PH🥇
Copy & Paste the SDK into your app and add 2 lines of code to integrate it. Remotely configure what sessions you would like to record and start recording. Watch the videos and find out how your users are actually using your app. Also checkout https://lookback.io/awesome
Hey all! Co-founder of TapeRecorder.io here... happy to answer any of the questions you guys have. All feedback is highly appreciated and welcomed. @kwdinc thanks for posting. A bit sooner than we would have liked... but as things go in life, we will have to roll with it now.
Hmmm...I wonder if it shouldn't be allowed as the founder to "shut down" a Product Hunt entry if it's too soon, especially if a launch date was planned. About the product itself: looks impressive if it works as promised. Does the framework itself pop open a box asking the user if they are OK with being recorded? Would go a ways to alleviate obvious privacy concerns.
@epaga John thanks a lot for taking the time to comment. Really appreciate it. You probably know what Reid Hoffman said "If You're Not Embarrassed By The First Version Of Your Product, You've Launched Too Late" - so we are fine with it (in our case was just a matter of a few days anyway) but I would guess @rrhover and his team have something on their roadmap regarding this possible issue. As most people nowadays, we build TapeRecorder.io to scratch our own itch. One of the problems we came across was that feedback from "casual users" is rarely constructive, mostly emotional & biased. That is why in our current version we don't have any pop-up or obvious opt-in from the user, but we do CARE a lot about privacy, so that's why we have a built-in feature to pixelate any sensitive information such as password fields and you can also choose to pixelate any view you want to be obscured. And of course you will have to include in your Privacy Policy that you are using the TapeRecorder SDK just like with any other analytics tool. We are eager to improve in this regard and be more explicit, so everyone please feel free to make suggestions. John thanks again and let's keep in touch! Wish you all the best with Mindscope. I love the very simple and clear landing page.
@epaga John, a quick follow-up answer. I was just notified about a feature from our roadmap: The developer will have the option to ask for explicit permission to make recordings.
@DavidNagy OK, cool - it's obviously something a dev could easily do themselves, too. I just can't think of a situation where you wouldn't want to at least let the user know you are monitoring their usage of the app.
Ouriel Ohayon@ourielohayon · KZen, CEO / Co-founder isai (VC)
Difference with appsee?

Quest Flemington Round 3 Preview11/29/2017 11:06 PM ET
By Chris Garagiola / Melbourne Aces
Round 3 is a rematch of last season's championship showdown between Melbourne and Brisbane. The Bandits took home the Claxton Shield in two games and the Aces are out for revenge. Here's your Round 3 preview presented by Quest Flemington.
Quick Recap
After a disappointing Opening Series against Perth, Melbourne had a fabulous bounce-back effort on the road against Adelaide taking three of four. Josh Tols was superb making two appearances and striking out nine over five innings. His efforts earned him the Round 2 ABL Delta Airlines Pitcher of the Week. Delmon Young picked up the pace offensively hitting a pair of homeruns over the weekend and 17-year old Jarryd Dale hit .353 against Adelaide pitching. With reinforcements having arrived in LHP Matt Marksberry and OF Tyler Neslony, manager Jon Deeble finally starting to have a full arsenal at his disposal.
The defending champs are off to a scorching start to being the 2017/2018 ABL campaign. After sweeping Canberra in the opening round, the Bandits made quick work of the Perth Heat winning three of four and outscoring their opponents 47-28. Mitch Nilsson had a monster series hitting .529 with 12 RBI and was named the Delta Airlines Offensive Player of the Week.
Last Year
A year ago, Melbourne dominated Brisbane in the regular season winning seven of their eight matchups, including a four-game sweep at AFA Stadium. This was mainly due to strong pitching from the Aces that kept the Bandits high-flying offense in check. Obviously, the script was flipped in the playoffs where Brisbane got the last laugh.
Offensive Edge: Brisbane
Number don't necessarily tell the whole story, but in this case, they give us everything we need to know. As a team Brisbane are hitting .317, which is the highest in the ABL. They also rank first in slugging (.539) and as a team have already scored 65 runs in seven games (9.3 rpg). Any team in any league that is averaging almost 10 runs per game is going to win a lot of games. Mitch Nilsson is hitting a scorching .577 to lead all qualified ABL hitters and fresh of a series in which he racked up 12 RBI. Aaron Whitefield ranks fourth in the league with a .400 average and three other Bandits are hitting .333 or higher. Meanwhile, the Aces rank fifth in batting average (.241) and only have two qualified hitters batting above .300 (de San Miguel, .385; Cumberland, .360).
Pitching Edge: Brisbane
There's a good argument to be made that the Aces possess more talented pitchers than Brisbane, but given the two-round sample size, Brisbane's pitching has been more effective compared to Melbourne's. The Bandit's starting pitching has pitched deep into ballgames, leaving the bullpen with manageable assignments through their first seven contests. Tim Atherton is 2-0 with a 2.45 ERA while Travis Buckley has been even better notching a 1.80 ERA and a 5:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Zac Treece has made three scoreless appearances out of the bullpen while Sam Holland allowed just one run over his 3.2 innings in relief. Brisbane has the second-lowest ERA in the league while Melbourne have issued the most walks (45), the second-most ER (38), and have the second-highest WHIP (1.64). This isn't to say the Aces can't win this series against Brisbane, but if the pitching is similar to what was seen against Perth, it could be a long series for the hosts.
Players to Watch
Melbourne: Mark Hamburger
Usually, a position player is slotted in the Player To Watch category, but these are not usual times. Mark Hamburger a top-class pitcher in this league who is off to a shaky start in 2017. He has allowed 11 ER in just 13 innings. His 7.62 ERA is the third-highest among all ABL pitchers, and his 2.38 WHIP is dead last. He desperately needs a bounce-back effort and he'll get his chance in Friday's opener. Look for Hamburger to set the tone and see if he can rally the hosts to a quick 1-0 series lead.
Brisbane: Mitch Nilsson
This should be pretty clear by now, but in case you scrolled down to the bottom, read the earlier sections of this article, or the Round 2 Roundup piece from earlier in the week, or just look at the Delta Airlines Offensive Player of the Week Awards. Nilsson is a hitting monster, and when a 2-for-5 night actually lowers his season batting average, you know that is a menacing player loaded with quality.

Matthew 5: 1-12
1And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him. 2And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
3Blessed are the poor in spirit (destitute of wealth of learning and intellectual culture which the schools afford, men of this class most readily give themselves up to Christ's teaching and proved them selves fitted to lay hold of the heavenly treasure) for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted. It doesn't say that you must always be joyful and praising the Lord.
5Blessed are the meek (Gentleness or meekness is the opposite to self-assertiveness and self-interest. It stems from trust in God's goodness and control over the situation. The gentle person is not occupied with self at all. This is a work of the Holy Spirit, not of the human will (Gal 5:23) for they shall inherit the earth.
6Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness (state of him who is as he ought to be, the condition acceptable to God - integrity, virtue, purity of life, rightness, correctness of thinking feeling, and acting) for they shall be filled.(satisfied)
7Blessed are the merciful (bringing someone relief from something unpleasant) for they shall obtain mercy. (compassion shown by one person to another)
8Blessed are the pure (sincere, genuine) in heart for they shall see God
9Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God.
10Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' (integrity, virtue, purity of life, rightness, correctness of thinking feeling, and acting) sake for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Sad news for fans of British post-hardcore group Heights. The band has announced that they will soon be calling it a day. You can read a full statement from the band and watch a farewell video of sorts below.
The good news is that it appears Height will be announcing one more tour soon! We'll be sure to keep you updated on that announcement.
"Heights is dead, no really this time.
The end of the band that has been your entire lives for nearing five years was always something of mystery to us, I guess it's easy to believe it would take something dramatic or eventful to derail so much work and effort, to stop something that had become larger than any of us ever truly believed.
So the reality took us all by surprise, towards the end of last year a couple of us just didn't feel the same passion that we always relied upon. Without that, we all knew it was time. In fact, we're closer as friends than we've ever been, and we plan to spend the last few months and shows enjoying the end to what will forever be something we are all proud of.
This band has literally taken us around the world, we've played shows in Australia, Russia and more countries in Europe than Dean can even name. In each of those countries we've had the privilege of meeting genuinely amazing people, fans of our band, where for 30 minutes we had a connection that made everything worth it.
For those people, more so than anything else we thank you – that's the only constant that has kept this going for so long, and the memories of the shows we have played will always be with us.
We will be announcing our last shows soon, and we'll do it all one last time."

Among the many thorns Hillary Rodham Clinton, new czarina of health-care reform, will find as she marches into that vast jungle of insurance and law is the matter of medical malpractice: Doctors who pay huge liability premiums, attorneys who represent hospitals and insurance companies, trial lawyers and their aggrieved clients, consumer activists; in short, a thicket of lobbyists.
There doubtless will be a call for caps on the damages that can be awarded to the victims of medical negligence and their families. Capping, it is believed, goes a long way toward resolving the crisis in liability insurance. It supposedly reduces the cost of insurance for docs. And that, supposedly, means the docs and hospitals won't charge as much for services. And that, supposedly, means we're all better off. Hallelujah!
Reformers -- read that, doctors and insurance companies -- say the effort to cap awards and encourage settlement of claims has the side benefit of reducing the amount of litigious litter in courts. But the jury, pardon the pun, is still out on that one. And it's still debating whether caps really reduce the cost of medical malpractice insurance.

WAYNESBORO, Pa. — Maybe it was the spirit of the season that allowed the Washington Township (Pa.) Supervisors and a Waynesboro businessman to put to rest an issue that divided them most of the year.
Harry Morningstar Jr., the owner of Furniture Market, and the supervisors have been at odds over logo-splashed box trucks he uses for furniture deliveries and advertising.
The supervisors initially told Morningstar that the Furniture Market's trucks, which had mannequins affixed to them, violated ordinances concerning off-premise signs and nuisance signs.
Then, in September, they denied him portable sign permits for two of his trucks. Some of the board members said they think the entire truck is part of the sign, meaning the sign would exceed the 12 square feet allowed by local ordinance.
In November, the township sent Morningstar a cease-and-desist letter regarding four trucks he had parked in the township without portable sign permits. He said two trucks were being serviced at a mechanic's shop and two were parked with "for sale" signs at other locations.
The two sides attempted to make peace at the beginning of Monday's supervisors meeting.
Wearing a red sweater vest and a Santa Claus pin, Morningstar told the five supervisors they are good people. He said comments can occasionally affect someone the wrong way.
"We don't mean to be thumbing our noses," Morningstar said.
Stephen Kulla, chairman of the supervisors, told Morningstar to use his common sense when parking vehicles in the township in the future. He said it's OK to make deliveries or have trucks repaired for appropriate periods of time.
"We're concerned, if everyone took the same route as you, ... what the township would look like," Kulla said when trying to explain the board's position about the trucks as signs.
Morningstar offered his cellphone number to township staff to address future concerns.
"If a truck offends you, I'll send someone out to move it," he said.
Morningstar should feel welcome to utilize township mechanics' services, Supervisor Elaine Gladhill said.

Benchmarking the Advanced Programme: EnglishPosted: December 18, 2015 Filed under: Developments, UK NARIC | Tags: education, English Language, Immigration, Independent Examinations Board, qualifications, recognition, South Africa, UK NARIC Leave a comment
This article was first published on the ECCTIS Blog
The Independent Examinations Board in South Africa has recently added the Advanced Programme: English to their suite of qualifications. The IEB conducted a pilot study of the AP: English in 2011, with the national roll-out being launched in 2012. The AP: English is a new qualification offered by the IEB in addition to the National Senior Certificate, intended to provide the opportunity for students to study English in further depth and increase the number of students following programmes including English at tertiary level. It followed the launch of the then newly developed National Senior Certificate and AP: Mathematics in 2010.
Following the benchmarking study undertaken in 2010, which examined the NSC and AP: Mathematics, this study sought to benchmark the AP: English against UK qualifications. It confirmed that the AP: English can be considered comparable to GCE Advanced level standard.
Exemplar GCE A level programmes were used to assist with the benchmarking study. The majority of the core components of the GCE A level programmes were also covered by the AP: English, although some differences were observed in the entry requirements and the content of the programmes. However, these differences were deemed to be due to cultural differences between the two systems rather than an indication of disparities in academic level. There were clear links between assessment standards and objectives, as well as the depth and breadth of the programmes in providing the skills required for tertiary study. This resulted in the following comparable level:

NOKUT voyage from Norway for fact-finding visit to UKPosted: April 30, 2015 Filed under: Developments, UK NARIC | Tags: ENIC, NARIC, NOKUT, Norway, quality assurance, recognition 4 Comments
UK NARIC hosts many visitors from around the UK and from around the world in its offices in Cheltenham. But last week we wished that our new training room, recently enlarged in our office refurb, had been made even bigger as we welcomed an unusually large delegation of 18 from our counterpart national recognition agency in Norway, NOKUT.
The photo shows some of the delegation enjoying the floral gardens and period buildings of Regency Cheltenham!
NOKUT is conducting a major fact-finding review to inform the next stages in its development. NOKUT's remit is not only qualification recognition; it also performs the lead quality assurance role for vocational education and for higher education in Norway.
This accounts for the size of the delegation – there were representatives from the different departments and functions of the organisation, and also Board members. The NOKUT Board includes representatives from the education sector and student union representation as well, so all in all the approach is notably collaborative and multi-stakeholder.
The day after meeting us in Cheltenham, the NOKUT delegation travelled to nearby Gloucester to hold conversations with the UK quality assurance agency, the QAA, with a focus on that aspect of NOKUT's work.
The exchange of ideas was extremely interesting. There are some similarities between NOKUT and UK NARIC – they are both independent, but officially authorised, agencies – but at the same time there are differences of approach. Of course, in our recognition work, the focus is the same, and there was much discussion in this area.
Our meeting in Cheltenham was very fruitful indeed and we look forward to interesting collaborations and joint projects with our Norwegian colleagues at NOKUT!

Posted by Darlene Barnwell on Aug 20, 2015
Whether your child is entering preschool for the first time or returning after a fun summer break, it's important to start the year off right. Addressing any medical concerns and scheduling routine health appointments before the school year begins may ensure that your child has a happy and productive school year. Here are a few tips to help you prepare for a healthy child entering preschool.
Visit the Pediatrician
While many childhood diseases are not serious, it's a good idea to make a well-visit appointment with your child's pediatrician to discuss the risks and prevention methods. Your child's pediatrician can perform screenings and alert you to any vision or hearing concerns. The pediatrician will also make sure that vaccinations are up to date and provide valuable tips for staying healthy, all year long.
Visit the Dentist
If your child has never visited a dentist, the summer before entering preschool is a great time to schedule an appointment. Many children loose their first tooth during the preschool years. A pediatric dentist will examine your child's mouth and scope out any potential problems. They will also talk with your child about healthy habits, like brushing teeth and flossing.
Visit the Eye Doctor
Some parents may wait for their child to express an issue with their vision before scheduling an appointment with an optometrist. According to a national study, one of every four children has a vision problem. The eyes are just as important to care for as are the ears when it comes to providing your child with all the tools he or she needs for a successful preschool year.
Talk About Staying Healthy
Take the time to talk with your child about staying healthy when it's time to begin preschool. Discuss the importance of getting plenty of sleep and a healthy breakfast. Demonstrating good hygene habits like hand-washing and covering your mouth when sneezing or coughing is another way you can teach your child to stay healthy.
Entering preschool season is exciting. Make the most of it by following these back to school activities for preschool so that your child stays healthy during this busy time.

Leaders of Their Own Learning

One of the greatest challenges when developing learning targets is breaking them down in a way that motivates students to take responsibility for their learning. That shift in ownership from the teacher to the student in meeting the targeted goals is sometimes difficult when as a teacher one feels that he or she is solely responsible for the learning that takes place in the classroom. ~Cindy MReplyDelete

This was also one of my biggest challenges as well. I found it challenging to step away from the "traditional" role of the teacher and become more of a facilitator. However, I did find that making the learning targets more student friendly helped my students take ownership of their learning. Students were more engaged in the lessons from the beginning to the end. ~ Caitlin P.ReplyDelete

I think that the biggest challenge that I have encountered with the learning targets so far is translating standards into learning targets, specifically "I can statements." ~ Darrell L.ReplyDeleteReplies
You are correct! It definitely is a challenge, but when creating learning targets (I can statements) that are in student-friendly terms and understandable, students become more engaged in the lesson and take ownership of their learning. Our teachers take more time to translate (looking longer/deeper) state and Common Core standards which should yield greater understanding of the content for both the teacher and the student.Delete

While the author goes into detail regarding how the writing of learning targets could pose challenges to the teacher, I feel he was most accurate when he stated that students must internalize the value of learning targets and use them to access their own progress. Having students articulate how each activity is helping move them closer to the target and having students take ownership in their own learning can be a challenge to not only the teacher but also to the students themselves.ReplyDelete

The important thing to recognize about learning targets is that while the verbiage itself is important, the process of reaching that target is what is critical. Carefully planning a pathway through which you will guide the scaffold, or steps for learning, is the key to ensuring that students will be able to learn rudimentary concepts in a logical progression on the way to mastering a larger, more complex concept. This planning process is highlighted in the book when the author discusses short term and long term learning targets.ReplyDelete

The overall goal is to place students as leaders of their own learning. This process of placing students in the best situation to obtain this goal is pertinent. Developing a learning target that correlates with the Common Core State Standards ensures that students are developing and utilizing the critical thinking skills emphasized by the CCSS. The newly constructed CCSS places an abundant amount of rigorous task as well as rigorous content on teachers and students. It is imperative that the planning process as highlighted in the book "Leaders of Their Own Learning" must be discussed carefully to create effective learning targets. In return, teachers will start to see successful results when assessments are given due to the ownership taken by the students.ReplyDelete
One of the biggest challenges that I faced when creating student centered learning targets is creating a "doing target" rather than a learning target. Being a science teacher, most of my curriculum is set up to "do" something, such as a lab or hands-on activity. It is easy for me to create a objective that says "students will calculate percent composition" rather than " I can use quantitate analysis to determine percent composition of a substance or compound." Both are centered on a lab activity, but just by having an appropriate learning target uses more "hot" words that are being seen on standardized test, which, in theory, should help the students understand the phrasing and not become overwhelmed. The authors also state, "Students feel motivated to accomplish a task when they know it is within their reach" (23). This statement also addressed another challenge when it comes to creating a learning target. I've only been teaching a short period of time, so sometimes it is difficult to determine what the appropriate amount of material I should cover in a class time. I want the content to be rigorous, but at the same time, not be overwhelming. This is why the learning target should be something that the students feel they can accomplish during that class period.ReplyDelete
One example the author uses deals with geometry. He states, "knowledge learning targets in geometry that require students to memorize definitions may be reached in a single lesson, whereas learning targets requiring students to apply geometric concepts to novel problems – using reasoning – may take several days" (38). He authors' statement seems to convey a message that if the learning target is rigorous, it may take several days to complete, which kind of contradicts the message that student's L.T. should be accomplished during that class period. I was confused on this part, but I do remember that the authors said that we could have a large learning target for the unit, but then take that large learning target and have several smaller learning targets that could be broken down from that stem.
One of the biggest concepts that we must come to terms with is that with the advent of Common Core standards in the K-12 curriculum, we are seeing a general shift in the purpose of learning targets. Learning targets are no longer about the coverage of content--they are now used to prioritize transferable skills that will enable students to be independent learners across all disciplines. Learning targets bring these standards to life and shift ownership to both the student and teacher. Brandon G.ReplyDelete
My greatest challenge when creating a learning target has been to dissect the very wordy common core standards and translate them in to smaller, easy to understand, short-term goals for my students. Once I did this, my students were more focused, knew what they needed to accomplish each day, and were able to guide their own learning. Another thing I struggled with was not referring back to the learning target throughout the lesson. Before my book study, I would present the learning target or even just read it out to the students at the beginning of the lesson instead of letting them take ownership of it. ~Kelly M.ReplyDelete
I believe my greatest challenge in creating learning targets was to take the common core standards and make them into student friendly language. I believe when I began to create the "I can" statements, my students were able to identify with what they were supposed to accomplish that day. Referring back to the learning target during the class also helped the students take ownership of the lesson.ReplyDelete
Coach Tyree- My greatest challenge when developing a learning target is probably on my daily learning targets. The problem I have is not being so vague, and I try to cover the entire long term learning target. I just continue to struggle with whether my learning target is too big or too small.ReplyDelete
I am trying to create learning targets daily that focus on one part of reaching that long term goal. I have also tried to go back and repeat learning target throughout the lesson. This allows me to stay on task, and also helps the students to own the day and the learning target. This has helped me tremendously. I have always displayed my learning target, and I feel I have improved at stating and repeating the learning target by constantly reminding myself that the learning target is essential to student learning. I have also tried to do a better job at matching my assessments to the learning target, but this is a constant struggle for me as a young educator.

My greatest challenge when creating learning targets is breaking the objective down into "I can" statements. The common core standards are very broad and it is a challenge to put them in student friendly terms. I need to make sure my learning targets match my assessments throughout my lessons. As a math teacher, it is easy to make a learning target too complex or broad. I need to improve in that aspect of making my learning targets comfortable for the students to take ownership and most important learn. - RipleyReplyDelete
The biggest challenge I have faced is creating learning targets that are not too broad. The Den Talks sessions have brought this to my attention. Breaking down a learning target into steps (daily targets), helps bring to my attention all of the steps necessary for the students to complete the long term target. I have always broken it down into steps in my personal teaching notes. However, writing actual daily targets in the students voice that are more detailed (I can...) really reinforces with me the time I need to spend on the smaller targets, and not just brush past them. I feel as though it forces me to put myself in my students' shoes, more so than in the past. I would also like to add that the Den Talks have been a "safe place" for me. I don't feel criticized or judged, which means I don't dread attending the meetings. Normally, we have professional development at the beginning of semesters, and CTE has it during the summer. It is easy to forget some things throughout the semester that you felt were very helpful during pd sessions. Thank you for providing this on-going support and giving me the opportunity to hopefully improve as a teacher! ~Leslie G.ReplyDelete

Developing lesson plans in this manner is a new strategy for me. I've had to shift my way of thinking quite drastically. I have found my biggest struggle when creating learning targets is overestimating my students background/content knowledge. My objectives, which seem simple, are too encompassing to be completed in one class period or with the activities I have scheduled. Making sure I create learning targets that do not include assumed knowledge is an area in which I will focus more attention.ReplyDelete
My biggest challenge when creating learning targets is to break it down into simple steps. I tend to focus on the entire picture when I need to concentrate on one specific item. I struggle with this because some of my students are faster at picking up on skills than others which causes them to work at a different pace. When students are not on the same task at the same time, it creates confusion.ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
I believe the thing I like most about learning targets is that it helps students define what they are learning and why they are learning it. In my experience once a student is able to determine a real life use or application of something they are much more focused and determined.ReplyDelete
You have numerous sources to pull from when writing learning targets to where our students can take ownership of their learning. I commend you on your reflection to this post. Overall, I would like to challenge you to continue to put into practice learning targets that will engage our students in tracking their learning.ReplyDelete

The World Bank kept its forecasts for Ukraine's economy unchanged on Thursday, seeing growth of 1 percent in 2016 and 2 percent in 2017, Censor.NET reports citing Reuters.
Ukraine has suffered two years of recession partly due to a costly conflict with pro-Russian separatists. Its Western-backed leaders have pledged to implement sweeping reforms in exchange for a $40 billion aid package.
"In addition to some noteworthy reforms implemented in recent months, deeper structural reforms to bolster investor confidence and productivity are needed to raise economic growth to 3-4 percent in the medium term," said Satu Kahkonen, World Bank Country Director for Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine.
Patchy reform progress, including on promised tax and pension changes, and signs that vested interests continue to influence policy have raised concerns among Ukraine's foreign creditors about the authorities' commitment to change.
"Tackling corruption and improving governance are central priorities on the road toward sustained recovery and shared prosperity for the population," the World Bank said.
It said expanding the tax base, reforming the pension system and improving transparency in the private sector were some of the key reforms needed to safeguard economic stability.
The World Bank has given Ukraine $4.4 billion in loans since May 2014, after a pro-Western uprising swept a Moscow-backed president from power and set the country on a path towards greater integration with Europe.
The bank could approve a $500 million loan to Ukrainian state energy firm Naftogaz for winter gas purchases "very soon", although the date has not yet been determined, Kahkonen said.

In Defense of Passive Marketing in Tech Transfer: Technology Listings
I was once invited to a university technology transfer office (TTO) to discuss ways to get the word out about licensing opportunities. The invitation came in response to the launch of the AUTM® Global Technology Portal. The GTP allows free posting of tech listings by AUTM members and free searching by all. (Quick definition: A listing is a description of a technology and its possible commercial applications.)
The GTP gives TTOs another important arrow in their marketing quiver. That's because this type of passive marketing tool is as essential to TTOs as their active efforts.
I would say that 99.999% of the time, it is worth creating an online listing for technologies that have market potential. Why is the online technology listing de rigueur? Well, the first and most important reason is…
You're Practically Done
You expended the bulk of the resources needed to write the listing when you did the screening or other triage process. You gained an understanding of what the technology is, what it can do for the user, and why the market would be interested in it. The cost to convert that knowledge into a technology listing is incremental.
If you wrote it down as part of the screening report, use that technology overview to write the listing. (Be sure to remove any enabling information if the IP is not already protected.) If your triage process doesn't include a written report, the information is at least in your head as part of making the disposition decision. Take that extra step of writing it down.
But the technology listing isn't merely a "because it's there" marketing tool. There are other important reasons to post technology listings online as a form of passive marketing.
It's Expected
In this day and age, your TTO must have a strong online presence to be considered a credible source for technology or a partner for collaborative R&D. If you have nothing on your website about technologies, capabilities, and expertise, then visitors will conclude that your organization has nothing to offer in that field.
Conversely, the more hits you get for a search, the more likely there will be a match for a license or partnership.
Technology listings are an effective way to populate your website, showing off the depth and breadth of your portfolio and your capabilities as an organization.
It's Cost Effective
It's important to consider the expected return on investment in commercialization. Granted the ROI in a tech transfer effort is not always financial. Nevertheless, you don't want to put way more into the marketing effort than you can hope to get out of it.
Passive marketing helps you get the word out without breaking the bank.
It's Versatile
Technology listings are not just for passive marketing. An online technology posting gives you something to point to when reaching out to prospects for active or targeted. There are no printing costs, and it makes it easy to include multimedia and social media items in your online technology marketing.
It Captures the Serendipity
Regardless of the marketing strategy, an online tech listing creates the opportunity for a potential licensee to find you. We've had numerous cases where prospects have approached us or our clients after finding a technology listing through online searches.
Of course, this is highly dependent upon the effective use of appropriate keywords and writing a high-quality listing. Check out our advice for writing effective technology marketing collateral.
Fuentek has written hundreds of listings that have effectively promoted our clients' technologies to potential licensees and partners. Contact us today to discuss how to put our experience to work for you.

Also languishing was another draft, this one featuring Geoff Dyer. I wrote it after I had read an interview with him in the Paris Review. Let's start there.
What about creative nonfiction?
David Hare said that the two most depressing words in the English language are literary fiction. I couldn't agree more. But we might soon have to add that the two most depressing words in the American language are creative nonfiction. If creative nonfiction means stuff like that Sheila Heti book, then give me straight-down-the-line, non-creative history books any day. I'm not interested in creative nonfiction, and I'm not interested in literary fiction. I'm interested in great books—which come in different shapes and forms now, many more than were previously admitted. My objection is to people in the novelists' camp with their unquestioned assumption that the novel, irrespective of the quality of a given instance of it, is somehow superior.
Do you imagine those feelings about the novel to be sort of a residual formalist snobbery, the way there are people who like jazz but then there are jazz snobs?
On the contrary. As a jazz snob myself, I think it's just a habit of mental laziness. A parochialism.
Geoff Dyer has become my favorite essayist. I haven't read his novels yet so I have nothing to say about them. As a book snob though, I'm with Dyer all the way when it comes to his views on creative non-fiction. His responses led me to some thoughts I'd been having.
After reading Dyer's interview, I began to consider native advertising. Mainly, is creative strategy to copywriting as creative nonfiction is to the novel? If you must know, it just popped into my head. When I think about native advertising, creative content or content strategy a bad thought enters my mind: what must it be like to stand on broken glass in bare feet? If that puzzles you, let me try this: Why would anyone want to write copy that is disguised in form to be something it isn't? Here's what I mean:
From Wikipedia: Advertorial in online media demonstrate native advertising where copywriters are established as credible authorities but in fact are recommending brands they are paid to recommend and by definition are conflicted.
Conflicted indeed. As Dyer points out fiction and non-fiction are bleeding into each other all the time. The native advertising copywriter's work will never be finished as long as the fiction holds, as long as the reader is duped, as long as we keep buying products we only think we need, as long as the world keeps spinning.
Why the duplicity? Well the answer to that falls in to another suspect bucket - attempts at authenticity, one of the most inordinately overused words in branding. If one has to build one's brand authenticity perhaps there's something sorely lacking in the first place. Such as authenticity.
Also from the Paris Review is an amazing interview with Herta Müller, the Nobel Prize winning author.
Do you allow the sentences to lead you once you have begun them?
They know on their own what has to happen. The language knows where it has to wind up. I know what I want, but the sentence knows how I'll get there. Even so, the language always has to be kept on a tight rein. And I work very slowly. I need a whole lot of time because I have to make many approaches. I write each book twenty times or so. At first, I need all these crutches, and I write a lot that's superfluous. Later, when I'm far enough along—inside me, while I'm still searching—I cut out about a third of what I've written, because I don't need it anymore. But then often I go back to the very first version, because evidently that's the most authentic one and everything else proved unsatisfactory. And frequently I feel I won't be able to pull it off. Language is so different from life. How am I supposed to fit the one into the other? How can I bring them together? There's no such thing as one-to-one correspondence. First, I have to take everything apart. I start with a reality, but I have to completely demolish this reality. And then I use language to create something completely different. And if I'm lucky, it comes back together and the new language comes close again to the reality. But it's a completely artificial process. [My emphasis.]
What Müller describes here is a long way from writing a line of copy while desperately attempting to create a 'voice' or 'authenticity.' Dyer says "I'm interested in great books." Is it not enough for a copywriter to simply be interested in great advertising copy? After all, it's not as if we readers don't know the difference.

Johnny Hardcores single opening
The man, eye bulging out his socket and his left arm broken into an L shape at the forearm, doesnt even acknowledge Johnny as he walks by moaning in agony.
What the hell is this? Where am I?
He stands up, taking in a deep breath, he cautiously walks toward where the mangled guy came from. Fear isnt something he is used to.
Johnny: hello? Anyone there?
No answer. A sudden wave of anxiety comes over him as he passes through the corridor and looks down the hall.
Johnny thinking to himself...an audience? What exactly is going on here? He hears chants and screams for blood coming from the coliseum, and with haste he is hit in the back of the head by an unknown object and slowly loses consciousness. As his visikn fades to black he makes out a few shadowy figures.

Data from 2015 mentions Sundar's assets in the range of $ 4 million which would have been increased at this time. Moreover, he includes the CEO with the highest pay in the world.
Just imagine, he was compensated nearly US $ 200 million in 2016. That number doubled from the amount he received in 2015.
Sundar's life seemed perfect. He is married to his girlfriend, Anjali and has been blessed with two children. And live in an elite neighborhood in Los Altos Hills, California.
Known greatly respecting his parents since childhood, Sundar also bought them luxury homes in India. Nevertheless, the father of Regunatha Pichai and his wife chose to keep their life simple and sometimes still remain in their old apartment.
Father and mother had lived with Sundar in America but only for 6 months. Before returning to India.
"My father and mother did make a lot of sacrifices to make sure their children have a good education," Sundar recalled.
Judging from his appearance, Sundar always seemed relaxed and invisible if his wealth is abundant. But it's like that is generally a famous figure in the world of technology, do not want to be bothered with the appearance.

I would like to hire a Shopify Developer
Budget $750-1500 USD
Down page weight selectors -
we need to add a new selector to down pages for pillows (soft / medium / firm) and for comforters (winter weight / all-season / summer weight). We could do something similar to the sheets pages and their color selector (see parachute example) but will defer to your judgment on best UX.
Additional pop-up guides -
We need to add informational pop-ups to the down and mattress pages, similar to the sheets "size guide". Link should say "size / weight guide" for down and "mattress specs" for the mattress. Info for all sizes is attached. Separately we're adding more content to the scrolls to help customers choose the correct weight
Bedding category page -
Can we shrink the size of the thumbnails to fit more products on one screen. Maybe 3 across instead of 2 across? I want to make it faster for users to scroll down and understand how many items are on the page. Can we also reduce the empty space between the product description and the button? With our shorter product descriptions it ends up feeling a little empty (see here).
Top nav bedding dropdown -
Would it make sense to have the different categories dropdown from the 'BEDDING' heading in the main nav when you hover over? That's how parachute handles it. If you hover over 'Bedding' it displays a list of subcategories. Then if you click on bedding it takes you to a landing page with everything displayed, and if you click on a subcategory then only those products are displayed. If we had a similar dropdown (maybe Cotton sheets / Linen sheets / Down Pillows / Down Comforters) it would make it clearer to shoppers what we offer. Then if they click on cotton or linen then it goes to a landing page with all variants shown, and if they click on pillows or comforters it can go straight to the product page.
Bread implementation -
Carousel videos in product pages -

- New title features innovative reel layout and bonus features
Another week, another Egyptian-themed online slot game. Admittedly, it can be hard to stand out from the crown in a market that is busy to say the least but developer, Playson's new Legend of Cleopatra manages to hold its own.
The game has players travel through ancient Egypt during the time of the famed Cleopatra in an attempt to unlock the mysteries of the pyramids. Those mysteries, if lady luck shines, are opportunities to make some healthy wins, as well as enjoy some special features too.
Enter Cleopatra's palace
Legend of Cleopatra is a six reel title, with those reels shown against a well detailed a vibrant backdrop scene depicting the palace of Cleopatra.
There's an interesting feature with how the reels are set out too, with an ascending number of reels appearing from left to right across the screen in a 2x3x3x4x5x5 format. That details also means that there's a total of 100 paylines in the game.
The reels show a variety of symbols including more typical low paying playing card symbols, but there's also some more relevant and themed symbols too. These include various Egyptian gods – Ra, Bastet and Anubis – as well as Cleopatra herself.
Other high paying symbols include the Legend of Cleopatra logo and a golden wild. The latter is capable of paying up to five times the original stake, whereas if six Legend of Cleopatra symbols are collected there's the potential for 3.75 times the stake.
Features and bonus games
Legend of Cleopatra has a few bonus features to keep an eye out for, some of them related to the game's unique reel layout. The Double Wild Reel feature, for example, is triggered by filling reel four with a stacked wild.
There's also, as expected in modern slots, a free spins feature that rewards handsomely. It's kicked off by landing a scarab beetle symbol, and when started it reverses the reel layout and can reward a total of 30 free spins.
There's much to find interesting about Legend of Cleopatra. You may well think that you don't need another Egyptian slot in your life, but with its interesting reel layout and varied features it's one that is worth playing at Playson casinos such as Videoslots Casino, Mr Green Casino and NetBet Casino.
