Riverdale School District strives to improve the academic performance of all students. We use a system called "Response to Intervention" or RtI. This system was developed over decades of educational research and has proven successful in district improvements around the state and nation. RtI now appears in federal law.
RtI uses tests of achievement to monitor student academic growth and progress. The tests vary by grade level and may include the following: PALS, MAP, Dibels, and easyCBM Math. We also use classroom data, progress monitoring, and student grades to identify needs and intervene accordingly.
If a student begins to fall behind his or her peers, teachers will provide additional help in the classroom using the regular curriculum. If needed, supplemental interventions will be provided. Layers of intervention are added based on student needs. Most interventions need to be used for a minimum of 6 to 8 weeks before significant progress can be measured. Many students will require even more time to be successful.
DISTRICT USING RtI DATA FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION EVALUATIONS OF SPECIFIC LEARNING DISABILITIES
If a child has had at least two intensive interventions, and has not made adequate progress based on progress monitoring data, an evaluation of a possible Specific Learning Disability (SLD) may be initiated by the district. Parents may initiate an evaluation at any time. Beginning December 1, 2013, all initial SLD evaluations of public school students will use RtI information. Parental consent is required before a child can be evaluated for special education. The evaluation process is required in state law.
If you have any questions about Riverdale School District's RtI system, please contact Jen Tarrell, Director of Special Education/School Psychologist/RtI Coordinator, at (608) 739.3101.

Hassan: In an embarrassment for the ruling Congress , the returning officer (RO) of Arkalugudu has in a preliminary report claimed that as many as 1093 applications for regularisation of bagair hukum sites in the constituency were fraudulently approved on the directions of Arkalgudu MLA and Animal Husbandry Minister, A Manju.
While the sites were supposedly regularised over four different meetings of the Bagair Hukum Committee on February 24, March 3, March 16 and March 20, there was no mention of the issue in the proceedings of the first three meetings and the last did not appear to have been held at all, the report says.
The RO, who examined the cctv footage at the tahsildar's office, says although the proceedings of the committee says it met at 3 pm on March 20, the tahsildhar who is also its secretary, is seen entering the office only at 4.30 pm and Mr Manju, who is its chairman, is not seen arriving at all.
The report, a copy of which is with the Deccan Chronicle, says tahsildar Prasanna Murthy and case worker, Lakshmeesha appear to be in cahoots with the Minister and may have tampered with dates in the proceedings of the March 3 meeting with a whitener on his directions. The inquiry was held following a complaint by BJP district unit president, Yoga Ramesh to Deputy Commissioner, Rohini Sindhuri on April 4. Mr Ramesh hopes to contest the coming assembly poll from Arkalgudu. The RO submitted his report on April 6....

When you print UPS labels through SupportSync, the information about each package is sent to UPS electronically, so there is no need to provide an End of Day report to your UPS driver.
The PLD or Package Level Detail - The shipping and package data about the shipments processed since your last End of Day process - is sent to UPS electronically via API.
This is the same data that UPS WorldShip would send to UPS after completing the shipping process.
Note: On the bottom right-hand corner of each UPS label there should be an icon of a package. This indicates that the package has been scanned electronically and that UPS drivers are NOT required to scan the package manually.
If your driver asks for an End of Day form, or your UPS rep wants to view your PLD file, it's advised to let them know that SupportSync sends the information directly via API to UPS and the data is available on the UPS system.

It's a park known for its early invention and unique design. It was an idea by Joseph Paxton way back in 1847. During those days, parks were not features you could find especially in the urban settings. It went to record that Birkenhead Park was the first of its kind ever in the entire world. This was not to be ignored. It marked an important stage for development of humans with consideration of the industrial revolution that brought about poor health conditions. The urban Landscape was in no doubt going green again with the introduction of this oasis rich park.
The concept
Coming from the best minds in landscaping, Birkenhead Park had to be the best. Sir Joseph Paxton was the designer to Princes Park of Liverpool, which is a private facility. The park was amazing as well. He had the will and the skills to design one for the public. Fortunately, the park withstood the extreme world wars conditions. You can visit the park today and get to experience the traditional tastes. And perfect designing he did. This park is located right at the heart of Birkenhead in the metropolitan of Wirral England. It is open for outdoor activities all year round.
Inspiration to other parks
Copying is the norm nowadays and even in the past. Nobody however copies what has no value. With Birkenhead being the first park to be designed in the city Centre, and it worked perfectly, other cities had to borrow from this unique design. Take one popular example, the New York. Were it not for the Birkenhead Park, the Central Park would be non-existent. Fredrick Law Olmsted an icon for the growth of the New York City borrowed much from Birkenhead. The interesting part is that when He visited London in 1850, Birkenhead was not the only park he ventured into. However, he identified it as the model park that he could later borrow from to design the central park in New York and actually receive a lot of praise and rewards for that. Many other parks have also borrowed heavily from the Birkenhead Park.
The features
It's amazing that the park has endured over the years. In fact, more has become of the park so that you have more reasons to be inside Birkenhead Park no matter what time of the year it is. Features include the Swiss Bridge built over the lake, train ride for the best of kids play, renovated lodges, the grand entrance among others. The park has been a host for many events including active drama and express comedy as well as sporting events. After undergoing renovation recently, the Birkenhead Park is a place to be. Original features have been re-installed, lakes reshaped and cleaned, shrubs and trees planted, paths improved and what have you. It's a new place altogether. The images you see on photos are better when you see them with your bare eyes. And Vale Park is only a few miles up the road in Wallasey!

Santander Loans
Santander is a loan lending company based in the United Kingdom. The company is registered for operation in both England and Wales as a reputable company for lending short-term loans for people to meet their different needs.
You may be short of fund to take care of some basic financial responsibilities but lack the financial power to get them done; you can call on Santander Loans to lend you some personal loans to take care of these needs.
Santander gives a loan of between £7,500 and £15,500 for customers on an APR rate of 3.1% to meet some emergency or planned financial needs. If you are an existing customer, you may enjoy a credit facility of £20,000 at the same APR rate of 3.1%.
Loan types
Santander offers personal loans that can be used to finance a couple of needs such as:
- Car purchase.
- Home improvement.
- Debt consolidation.
- Special occasion.
- Other uses as dictated by your needs.
Your choices
Whenever you must borrow money for any purchase or seek a short-term financial assistance, consider the options offered by Santander Loans and see which of their borrowing options will work for you.
- Overdrafts
If you are already a customer of Santander Loans, you can enjoy the opportunity offered by their overdrafts plan. This allows them to get a short-term loan that is subject to the status of the borrower. This is usually expensive for those who take undue advantage of the credit facility without the consent of the company.
- Credit cards
The credit card facility allows their customers to make purchases on credit or transfer a balance from one provider to another. You can make use of credit cards if you have the means of paying back regularly and promptly.
- Personal loans
The personal loans offered by the company is an avenue for customers to take a loan for a period longer that will usually cover by an overdraft. Personal loans are expected to be paid back within a stipulated period of time at a fixed repayment amount every month. If a borrower has the means, he can pay his personal loan back before the expiration of the given repayment period.
- Other loans
There are other loan options for existing Santander customers who already operate their mortgage plan. Such individuals can take a loan by using their home as a security for the repayment. It is recommended that borrowers who are considering this loan should speak with a mortgage adviser before taking the loan.
Qualification criteria
Before you are qualified for their loans, you must meet some criteria that are set by the management of the company such as:
- The borrower must reside in the United Kingdom.
- He must be aged 18 or over.
- He must have a paid job or have a regular source of income.
- He must have the financial ability to repay the loan.
Meeting these basic requirements qualifies you for Santander Loans and you can take advantage of that opportunity.

We love apprentices in East Suffolk
Here in the East we are committed to enabling the delivery of apprenticeship training, making sure that the Apprenticeship levy money is spent in the most effective way. That's why we are supporting a 'Get up and Grow' campaign to support councils to increase the number of apprenticeships that are undertaken and make best use of the funding available through the Levy. Further information about the campaign can be found here.
Suffolk Coastal and Waveney District Councils are celebrating the impact of apprentices within the two councils after recruiting a record number this summer.
The apprenticeship scheme has become well established within the two councils with 43 trained since 2012.
Even once their apprenticeships have been completed, 70% of apprentices over the last three years have stayed with the Councils to develop bright careers within the authorities.
Several of these have gone on to undertake further qualifications within their chosen field, including level 3 apprenticeships in Business admin and Customer Services, level 4 professional qualifications in Housing, and one young person who joined us in 2012 has recently completed a level 5 qualification in HR.
Apprentices are currently working in service areas across the two districts, including HR, planning, housing and finance and 13 will soon be joining the organisations in those areas as well as legal and active communities.
In return, they offer them all a business based, supported recognised qualification, a modern working environment, generous annual leave entitlements and valuable work based skills from day one.
Cllr Stuart Lawson, Suffolk Coastal cabinet member for Resources with responsibility for Human Resources and Cllr Mark Bee, Leader of Waveney District Council with responsibility for Human Resources, said in a joint statement: "We're pleased to be able to offer such a variety of apprenticeships to young people in east Suffolk and it's fantastic that the majority of our apprentices stay with us to develop promising careers with the Councils.
"Our apprentices are a valuable part of us as they contribute enormously across our service areas and the enthusiasm they bring helps us bring fresh ideas into the workplace. They also give our existing staff the opportunity to develop their skills in mentoring, management and development.
"We are very proud of our apprentices and would like to thank them all for their hard work. Their commitment ensures we can continue to offer a variety of practical on-the-job training roles to train the talent of tomorrow."
Here's what just some of their fantastic past apprentices have had to say…
Lee Todd, Customer Services Team Leader at Suffolk Coastal and Waveney District Councils, said: "I found my apprenticeship to be a valuable experience. It gave me a great pathway into a career within Local Government. I learnt new skills which I still use in my everyday work now, It helped me improve both my admin skills and my communication skills alongside completing a NVQ which is a fantastic qualification to obtain. My apprenticeship helped me get to where I am today by challenging me to consistently expand my knowledge and to have an enthusiasm to keep learning and progressing my career."
Holly Middleditch, Environmental Protection Technical Officer, said: "I left school not sure where to start in the working world, but was successful in applying for an Apprenticeship in the Food and Safety team at Suffolk Coastal. This enabled me to gain a thorough understanding and background experience within the Environmental Health sector, and also gaining qualifications whilst working. Since my apprenticeship I have continued to work for the Council within other departments until coming back to Environmental Health last year, I now have (in my opinion!) one of the most varied and interesting roles as Environmental Protection Technical Officer, with my daily work including nuisance complaints, private water supplies and animal welfare licensing."
Geena Clarke, Trainee Accountant at Suffolk Coastal and Waveney District Councils, said: "Without my apprenticeship with the Councils' I would not have the confidence to say I am now working my dream job! Not only was my apprenticeship a gateway to my career but it also gave me a universal foundation that I can take anywhere!"

A Challenge to the Police Department on Drug Plane Landings
The transshipment of narcotics through northern Belize, particularly via unregistered aircrafts landing on clandestine runways in the far reaches of the Orange Walk and Corozal Districts, continues unabated. In most, if not all reported cases, the response of law enforcement personnel has been sluggish; with officers arriving at the scene of the destruction long after the illicit cargo flown into Belize has been discharged. One civilian who identifies himself in the social media realm as Vincent Edwards, presumably an alias, is challenging the brass of the police department on its knowledge of the illegal landings. Along with images of the cargo holds of aircrafts laden with bricks of drugs posted to his Facebook page, Edwards purports that the senior command probably knows more than it is letting off. The posts have gone viral and some of it coincides with official information on recent landings. The information is unconfirmed but it begs the question, nonetheless, of inside knowledge of this activity. In a previous interview with Junior Minister Elodio Aragon, the Minister of State for National Security admits that it's a serious concern for the Government of Belize.
Elodio Aragon Jr., Minister of State, National Security [File: August 21st, 2018]
"That is always a concern, I mean these are some serious, serious criminal activity, you know. It's not the stealing of a sweet in the store, you're talking about drug trafficking and it's a serious concern for national security, a serious concern for the police department because these are the things that if we don't put a check on it will lead to greater issues in the very near future and I think that we have to look at it and it's not so easy, but we as a department with the resources and technology we have do what we can. But I do believe that there is more that can be done and we must do more…"

Research for Puppy Awareness Week has shown the shocking state of the puppy buying and selling industry in the UK – with too many people ending up with pups who are suffering from health and behavioural problems, after being bred by puppy farmers.
Puppies from puppy farms are bred with no regard for their health and well-being and are kept in appalling, unsanitary conditions. They are often sold onto unsuspecting puppy buyers, who don't know what danger signs to look out for.
A recent Kennel Club survey carried out this year found:
Buying a puppy should never be quick or instant - we're so used to being able to buy things online that sometimes we forget that some things should not be so effortless to buy. A responsibly bred puppy will be loved and cared for by its breeder who will be reluctant to give them to anyone other than the ideal owner.
If you are thinking about buying a puppy then why not book in for one of our FREE puppy pre-purchase consults. Here we can talk through everything you need to know about becoming a new owner.

When the concept of dental implants and the mechanisms in which they work were introduced to mainstream dentistry during the late 1970's, the advent of dental implants opened up an excitingly new chapter in dentistry.
Through the 1980's, the news of the successful procedure of dental implant surgery spread at an explosive rate. It took approximately ten years of repeated long-term success for the procedure to gain validity.
By the early 1990's dentists readily accepted implant dentistry as an adequate and routine substitute for missing teeth in all areas of the mouth.
Restoring dental implants has undergone a paradigm shift from simply validating that dental implants work to recreating missing teeth with a chameleon-like effect. Even though implants can be restored with a very high degree of success, one of the most difficult and critical areas in the mouth to achieve great esthetic results is in the upper front jaw -- specifically when replacing a single upper central incisor tooth.
Single-tooth implant dentistry present dentists with unique challenges. When a single central incisor tooth is removed due to periodontal disease, tooth decay, trauma, or nerve failure, the body responds by shrinking the bone and gum tissue in place of the missing tooth. The body no longer needs the supporting bone structure; therefore, the bone is decreased and the gum tissue shrinks because of bone resorption.
In order to achieve a natural appearance to the final restoration, restorative dentists must attempt to replace what nature he as taken away. An unnatural appearance will be the result if the tooth is replaced without considering augmenting or "plumping up" the support structures. It would be like placing a great painting in the wrong frame, thus having a diminished outcome.
Certain steps are necessary to achieve a successful outcome, especially in the most demanding implant cases, like replacing a single upper front tooth. Before the decision to place an implant is made, patients should know the sequential steps.
The process starts with a thorough exam. Clinically, dentists should examine the affected area and the entire mouth. A comprehensive exam of the bone and soft tissues must be performed along with taking specific X-rays and possibly detailed bone scans to identify any potential complications.
An analysis of your smile should also be performed. Do your teeth and gums show when you smile? Does your upper lip drape over your teeth? If the patient has a high lip line that shows teeth and gums, the need for bone and soft tissue grafting may be necessary.
By discussing several of the aspects necessary for implant treatment, you can be more aware of the possibilities, as well as the limitations, associated with implant dentistry. Armed with various soft and hard tissue grafting techniques, ceramic material advancements, and better dental implant components, dentists are able to satisfy even the most esthetically-minded patients.
By Benjamin O. Watkins, III, DDS
Dental implantology has made huge strides in just the past 20 years - but the concept is anything but new.
The idea of a tooth replacement anchored permanently into the jaw has been around since antiquity. Archeologists know the ancient Egyptians tried to implant precious stones into the jawbone where teeth were lost. Half a world away, Mayan ruins in Mexico turned up jawbones with tooth implants carved from seashells.
Tooth loss is one of humankind's most common afflictions - and permanent replacement one of dentistry's fondest dreams. If you have a missing tooth or teeth, you probably understand why.
Fast-forward now from the Third Dynasty to today's dental research labs. Three major research advances - all in the past 15 years - combined to make dental implants practical and workable in a wide range of patients.
Tooth implants substitute the rooting of 32 individual teeth with a few metal anchor posts onto which snaps either an overdenture or a fixed bridge. Investigators found that posts made of the metal titanium were strong, non-toxic over years in the mouth, and biologically compatible.
The next critical discovery was the concept of "osseointegration" - in which the healing jawbone actually grows into the dental implant post. This union is capable of sealing harmful bacteria out of the bone tissue.
Credit the computer revolution with the final critical breakthrough: Computerized Tomography (CT) can be used to develop a model of the jawbone's surface. This eliminates the need for preliminary surgery required to make impressions of the jawbone. For certain patients CT imaging can make tooth implant surgery a one-step procedure.
Teeth implants aren't for everybody. But research technicians have expanded its potential beyond the dreams of - well, certainly Ramses II.

Cholesterol: Good or Evil?
Cholesterol is so important that all the cells in our body can make it and they can do so using fats, protein or carbohydrates.
Cholesterol is a hard and waxy complex mix of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. It can be found in the membrane of every cell in our body, and it plays a vital role in the production of our sex hormones (estrogen, testosterone and progesterone) and multiple other hormones. Cholesterol works in the brain to speed up communication and also provides a protective coating for every single one of our nerve cells.
Cholesterol is so important that all the cells in our body can make it and they can do so using fats, protein or carbohydrates. Interestingly, once the complex process is complete it is impossible for the body to take cholesterol apart again.
Eating cholesterol does not effect your cholesterol level…unless your body needs more cholesterol! The small intestine has special cells that absorb dietary cholesterol when needed. If the body doesn't need extra cholesterol these cells are inactivated, and the cholesterol is sent right back out to the large intestine and gets eliminated using bile from the liver. The cholesterol we eat does not cause "high cholesterol".
Most people who have a problem with their cholesterol really have a problem with their carbohydrate consumption. Very early on in the process of making cholesterol an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase does its job. Once this step occurs the process cannot be stopped. This enzyme is controlled by both existing cholesterol levels and insulin levels. When we eat too much refined carbohydrate and sugar our blood insulin levels spike, which then turns on the HMG-CoA reductase. This then causes the cells to make cholesterol even it none is needed.
Refined carbohydrates and sugars cause inflammation in the body, including the cardiovascular system. This inflammation is the initial step in the development of plaque inside the lining of the arteries.
"We've long known that atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease. In the absence of inflammation or injury to the endothelial cell, the cholesterol would never go through the arterial wall and it would never stay there." -Dr. Dwight Lundell
People with diabetes have elevated blood sugar and insulin levels and are at much greater risk for both heart disease and small vessel disease (eyes, kidneys, nerve endings).
Don't be afraid of eating cholesterol-rich foods. Instead, be afraid of refined carbohydrates and sugars…very afraid.

I'm not going to lie folks, I am tuckered out! I've been working around the house non stop since Friday at 8 am. So far I have the whole kitchen put together (thanks to the help of my mom) and the morning room (breakfast room). My whole dining room is unpacked, but not yet assembled (again thanks mom and Nicholas). My living room is also set up, but looks VERY plain. I definitely need some items to spruce it up.
Yesterday and today I spent the day unpacking Ella's room and Nicholas' room. I've got both of them pretty much put together. I can't find Ella's comforter (it wasn't packed with the rest of her bedding????) and I still need to hang their curtains. George has some work to do in each of their rooms too.
So you see, nothing is REALY 100% finished. My room looks like a bomb went off and I haven't even been down to the basement. Jack's room is also a mess, but his bed is completely set up and clean so that's good. I also have to do the whole playroom which will be a LARGE undertaking. I have to get some sort of shelving unit. Once that is purchased I can get started.
Until then I'm not really sure I want to share pics of all my half finished products. You understand right?
Until then just know that I'm turning this...
Into this.
I promise to do a full house tour. You're just going to have to give me a little time. Ok a LOT more.
