We need 2 volunteers
Sorry we are unable to take volunteers for the foreseeable future. We will be doing so sometime down the track so we are maintaining our listing here for anyone planning trips in 2019 or 2020.
We have a well developed wildlife refuge specialising in rehabilitation and long term care of orphaned or injured wombats. The refuge is on the hill overlooking the pretty little village of Majors Creek. It has a fabulous view of the village and the national park in the distance. The climate here is quite unique.
We have a need to continue development of the holding enclosures, day to day care and maintenance, additional building and the like. We are also about to begin development of a wildlife release site on a pristine piece of wilderness not too far from here. That will consist of building a rough cabin and shed as well as the release enclosures themselves.
Some of the day to day work consists of construction, cleaning out and repair and maintenance of wombat pens, feeding and watering, collecting grass and, yes, picking up poo!
So you can see we need helpers with a range of skills but most particularly a love of animals. You will need to be able to converse well in English. You will need to feel comfortable with wombats, tractors, chainsaws, shovels, tools of all sorts and good honest labour like collecting rocks!! We will be able to arrange for you to volunteer with other species carers also. So, it is a bit of farming, a bit of gardening, a bit of building and construction particularly enclosures, a lot of clearing up and pulling out fences etc and a lot of caring for and cuddling wombats. Being good with a camera would be a bonus as we create a wombat calendar each year and are always after good photos.

A very senior employee of an organisation visited a Guru. The Guru was a wise man and was known for his counselling capabilities. The accomplished executive approached the Guru and told him that his wife was no longer happy with him and he thought that it was high time that they lived separately.
The Guru listened to the man before telling him a story:
Once there lived two leopards in a forest. They were the best of friends and were almost inseparable. One day, as fate would have it, they were caught and put behind bars. No crime had they committed, no charges were filed against them and there was not even an FIR!
|They were caught and put behind bars!
They were whisked away to a zoo and were given a place from where they could continue living their lives. They still were together, so what if their surroundings had changed? The two of them decided to adjust to their new environs and continue their life in happiness.
The poor creatures did not know that they were now public exhibits and human beings would stream in to watch them. The innocence that the forest life allowed them was no longer available to them. But the leopards were happy as they were together. To them, nothing had changed. What really had changed, was outside of their frame of relevance.
One day, a group of people happened to visit the zoo. From the attention that these people received, it appeared that they were important. The crowd swarmed around one person who gave commands that were instantly obeyed.
"Must be a very learned man. He seems to know everything about everything" said one leopard to the other.
While the crowd was leaving, the crowd-puller, stopped for a while in front of the cage where the leopards lived. He took a closer look and told one of the persons around that the leopard to his side was more beautiful than the other.
The person nodded his head, as he got the message. In an instant the crowd vanished.
After the crowd left, the leopard that won the appreciation of the important man felt elated.
"I am not sure why he felt I was more beautiful than you. He is a learned man and he cannot be wrong, though I may not completely agree with him" he said, pride and ego overflowing in his voice.
The other leopard was hurt. Very soon the happiness that had prevailed thus far between them vanished. They started moving away from each other. Very frequently they fought with each other and the pride filled-leopard kept taunting his partner, by recalling the words of the callous human being.
The zoo keepers observed that one of the leopards was growing more and more lonely and sad. The other leopard seemed unaffected. A couple of days later, there was an order from higher authorities to move the unaffected leopard outside the cage. The leopard that was losing health could affect the healthy one, they felt. The leopards were moved to different cages.
|The leopards were moved to different cages...
After a week or so, the healthy leopard was taken in a van to some unknown part of the earth. When he was lowered, he saw the man who had called him beautiful. He inspected the cage closely.
"Yes, he is the one that I wanted. Now you can shift him to my private park and ensure he is taken care well" he said before leaving the place. The four helpers who were lowering the cage, wanted a break. They left the cage on the ground and after the van left, sat around the cage with a cup of tea in their hands.
"This great man has a dirty side to him" said one of them.
"What does he do with these animals?" asked another.
"He uses a code word which his assistants understand. When he says something is beautiful, it means that he needs it for his private use."
"He uses a code word which his assistants understand. When he says something is beautiful, it means that he needs it for his private use."
"What" exclaimed the fourth man!
"He is not alone in the race. There are many outwardly holy people who are dirty inside. Let us focus on our job, lest we may lose our bread and butter" said the first man.
The four of them carefully shifted the cage to its designated spot.
The cage suddenly felt empty as the leopard realized his folly. Without his partner around to console him, the leopard started feeling lonely. His loneliness made him sick and soon he was shifted back to the zoo.
His absence had affected his partner. The zoo authorities decided to keep the two leopards together as both were now sick. In a while they realized the importance of each other and grew stronger and happier!

Danny~ 18 week old pure male Kelpie puppy ~ $400
Danny and his litter-mates were dumped at a rural pound, and had only hours to live before they were saved by the GAR family. But their journey didn't end there.
The pups were not well, and just how unwell they were was not to be discovered until they arrived in Geelong. Within days the pups were on deaths door yet again, suffering from a terrible case of the life-threatening Parvo Virus. GAR moved heaven and earth to get these pups well again, and they received around the clock care at the animal hospital, which resulted in an enormous vet bill. The pups fighting kelpie spirit prevailed and they slowly regained their strength and were able to come home!
Danny has been living in foster care with 2 of his litter-mates. They play fight as puppies do, and get up to mischief together, but they generally get along well. Danny would ideally need a doggie friend to live with to keep him company and so he doesn't get bored and destructive, or a human that's home more often than not to keep him company.
He'd make a great tradie's dog and would love going to work with you.
Danny is extremely smart, and keen to please, but does get excited easily. He responds well to training and is a fast learner. He learnt to shake hands in 30 seconds, without food. He corrects exceptionally well. He is definitely the cheekiest of the puppies.
Danny is very affectionate and loving, and loves attention. If I show attention to the other two he will barge in front of them to get some pats for himself. He will sit on my lap quite happily and loves a cuddle on the couch. He is well behaved inside and is toilet trained. He does bark at the tv when you first turn it on, but if you tell him 'NO' firmly, he will stop.
The pups were confined to the backyard because of the infectious period of the Parvo Virus, and because of boredom (understandably), they have participated a bit of chewing and digging.
I think these habits will lessen once they are out in the big wide world and getting more stimulation. He would benefit from having an older, well behaved canine sibling to model his behaviour to.
A very secure fence and gate that can't be dug under will be vital.
Danny walks well on the lead. He will walk along side me without too much pulling. He loves other dogs, big and small. He can be reactive to people when out walking, cats and cows. He will bark in a very high pitched tone excessively. I believe this is only because the big wide world is so new to him, and with more exposure and ongoing training, will not be a problem. He has not shown any aggression whatsoever, it is just excited barking. He has never barked at different people when at home, only when out walking.
Danny is the largest pup in the litter, and has slightly different features to the others. He's very masculine looking and very handsome. He has stunning eyes.
Danny has lived with a 5 year old human sibling the whole time he has been in care and is brilliant with her. He never tries to bite, even when playing. He does jump up a bit in excitement, but corrects well.
Danny seems to have natural herding instinct, and he has tried to round my daughter up like a sheep. He would grab on to her clothes and drag her around (gently). She isn't bothered by it, but I could see how this might scare young children, so I would suggest only dog savvy children over 7 years of age would be suitable. With time, this behaviour has worn off and he no longer does it, but it's possible he might try it again with a new little human. I honestly think Danny loves my daughter more than me, he loves following her around and seems to get upset when she's out of sight.
Danny has a sensitive tummy due to the Parvo which should improve with time. He is currently on a prescription food and doing well on this. He was the sickest of the puppies and has taken the longest to recover.
Danny and the other pups have natural immunity from Parvo, and have been vaccinated as well. There is a very minor chance that they could still be shedding the virus, for anything between 29-180 days, although both our vet partners in Geelong have cleared them as being good to go out in public now. There is of course some onus on other people to vaccinate their own puppies and dogs for protection, but to be on the safe side you could refrain from socializing Danny with any known unvaccinated dogs, puppies, or immune compromised dogs until the entire possible shedding period has be reached.
Danny and his siblings have literally been to hell and back, and deserve nothing less than the best, and I know he will bring much love and joy to anyone who is lucky enough to adopt him.
GAR would also like to once again take the opportunity to thank our loyal supporters that dug deep with love, support and donations, to help us with the enormous cost and task of saving these pups lives. Danny and his siblings will be forever grateful, as are we.
Here's to finding your happily ever after Danny, we wish you many years of love and good health.
Danny has been desexed, vaccinated, and microchipped and is up to date with flea and worm treatments.

This is possibly the poshest/most pretentious salad I've ever invented. But it's really tasty!
Quinoa is – unlike other pulses – a complete protein. It's also rich in iron and fibre so it's really good for you and a nice veggie option.
1 aubergine
1/3 mug quinoa
a handful of kumquats
a handful of cherry tomatoes
about 10cm of cucumber (or one small Lebanese cucumber)
a few leaves romaine lettuce
For the dressing:
olive oil
1 tablespoon tahini
juice of half a lemon
- Pre-heat the oven to 140C/285F/gas mark 1. Cut tomatoes and place cut-side up on a baking tray, lined with greaseproof paper. Bake for around 90 minutes. You can add sugar and salt or balsamic vinegar but I think their flavour is good enough on its own.
- While the tomatoes are baking, rinse the quinoa well and put in a saucepan with double the amount of cold water. Add a little salt (and half a stock cube if you like), put the lid on and boil for 10-15 mins – the grains should lose their opacity but don't over-cook or the quinoa will become gummy. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and leave to cool.
- Finely slice the lettuce and cube the cucumber.
- Slice the kumquats finely being careful to remove any pips
- Combine all these ingredients together in a bowl and mix well.
- Slice the aubergine lengthways and drizzle with olive oil. Grill on a hot griddle pan until soft and smokey.
- For the dressing, combine ingredients and shake well. Drizzle over the top and serve.

And here it is, my second look from the shoot I did with Adam Sinding for EDITED. This time with a more fancy pantsy outfit, perfect for the weekend.
As I told you guys already, there was this one special autumn day I spent with Monsieur Adam Katz Sinding and the team behind EDITED to shoot two outfits. Now the time has come and I can finally present the two looks I chose for the shoot. In a typical cloudy-manner, I'd like to start with the more casual one, something I'd wear every day: A fabulous coat by Carin Wester (if I only had 400 bucks I'd have bought this one immediately!) , my beloved scarf from Maison Scotch, a skirt from Edited and a simple jeans shirt wrapped around my waist. So simple, so perfect, so everyday. You like it or what?
Thx Adam for the pics – and you guys stay tuned for the second outfit tomorrow! Fancy pantsy!
Wowza, you guys don't know how many times I was beaming with delight those past couple of days. Berlin Fashion Week was happening last week and as one would expect from a crazy out-and-about girl like me obviously I was out and about and couldn't really take care of my little baby blog here. Shame on me. BUT I was busy getting my photos taken by no other than Søren Jepsen from The Locals, Adam Katz Sinding from Le 21ème and Nabile Quenum from JPMV. Those photos then were featured on Style.com, T Magazine and GQ France. Crazy, non?

What Is Pastiche?
Pastiche is any form of art that deliberately copies the work of a different artist, a different style, or a different period. Pastiche is not parody or satire. Rather, it is a sincere homage to the style of the other artist or writer. Coming from the Italian, pasticchio, a kind of pie, a pastiche takes the "ingredients" of existing masterworks and recombines them in a new work.
Most often, pastiche does not attain the literary stature of the original being imitated, but there are exceptions. Milan Kundera borrowed heavily from eighteenth-century writers like Diderot, Voltaire, and Fielding, a fact that he acknowledges in The Art of Fiction.
How Do You Identify Pastiche in Writing?
Although literary pastiche has been around in some form or other for centuries — Milton's Paradise Lost is arguably pastiche — it became more popular in the postmodern period because postmodernism relies heavily on the concepts of romantic irony and intertextuality. Romantic irony, or the writer's consciousness that he is writing fiction — an awareness of the "fourth wall" that separates the work from its audience — has the postmodern author self-consciously refererence the original period or author. Literary authors who write pastiche also imagine a kind of dialogue with the original author or work.
Pastiche can be a tribute to one literary period; it can reimagine a character in new circumstances; or it can reference several writers in a hodgepodge of different literary style. It may take the form of underground fan fiction or be an attempt at high art. The distinguishing feature of pastiche is that the author openly acknowledges her source.
Examples of Pastiche
1. E.L. James' Fifty Shades of Gray is a pastiche that imagines two characters from the famous Twilight series, Bella and Edward, in new roles.
2. Milan Kundera borrows self-consciously from the eighteenth-century writers like Diderot in his novel The Unbearable Lightness of Being.
3. The Black Veil: A Memoir with Digressions is Rick Moody's pastiche tribute to Nathaniel Hawthorne's famous story, "The Minister's Black Veil."
4. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, Tom Stoppard's existential play, takes two minor characters from Shakespeare's Hamlet and works an entire narrative around their insignificance.
5. David Lodge'sThe British Museum is Falling Down, suggests pastiche even in its title. The book imitates ten different authors, including Virginia Woolf, Franz Kafka, and Ernest Hemingway.

April Newsletter 4th Week
Leonid email@example.com
Reflecting on my life I know some of the most difficult times brought proof of miracles. When My husband and I were trying for our third child, we experienced many difficulties and loss. After three years we finally got our little boy. He was indeed a miracle. Going through an experience of loss and frustration helps you really appreciate success. We all experience miracles everyday. Seriously, if you examine the human body or the balance of the Earth's eco system..... Amazing! Even more amazing is all the energy that is around us, that we are just starting to explore.
April Newsletter 3rd Week

I love the message above! It is such a beautiful and powerful reminder that living a spiritual life is not free of challenges and difficulties. We are here to learn and experience. The more people we have in our life..... the more opportunities to experience peace and love in different ways! One of my core beliefs is supported by the above quote. We can all turn our journey into a peaceful and learning experience. We just need to change our belief system to one that allows the possibility of challenges. It's the ability to step back and look at things in a different perspective.

Spring and Summer are my favorite times of the year. I love all the green, the light and the new
beginnings. I realized today a feeling of completion. It really feels like this completion is an energetic awareness for many people. It's the time to wrap up projects and move on to new adventures. So think about your life..... What area or habit are you ready to let go of? Right now we have lots of support to complete projects, jobs, relationships etc, etc. This is a great time to go after what makes you come alive!!
In the afternoon you will have hands on practices. This is a great opportunity!
Working in a room filled with people that are open to spirit connection
makes it even easier to receive messages.

rsation about how to get China to join the United States in putting pressure on Pyongyang, according to a senior administration official who was present. The debate encapsulates America's struggle to come up with a strategy based on sticks, carrots or a combination of both to convince China to police its own backyard.As Kerry heads to East Asia for his first time as America's top diplomat, some progress has been made in convincing Beijing, North Korea's biggest benefactor, to start getting tough with its neighbor. The question is whether it will make a difference.North Korea's government agency said Thursday that it has "powerful striking means" on standby for a launch, amid speculation in Seoul and Washington that North Korea will test-fire a mid-range missile designed to reach the U.S. territory of Guam in the Pacific Ocean. It was the latest warning from the North, which launched a long-range rocket in December and conducted an underground nuclear test in February.For years, Washington has been putting its hopes in Beijing to rein in the provocative behavior and combative rhetoric from North Korea. China has more leverage over the North than any other country, having massively boosted trade ties with the isolated regime in recent years and maintaining close military relations.But the U.S. has been frustrated by the reaction from a government that in many ways has different priorities. China, analysts and officials often say, f smartphone and walked away with the cash."It's something that is new," said Fink, 24, who described the deal to The Associated Press over Skype. "And it's working."It's transactions like these -- up to 70,000 of them each day over the past month -- that have propelled bitcoins from the world of Internet oddities to the cusp of mainstream use, a remarkable breakthrough for a currency that made its online debut only four years ago.When they first began pinging across the Internet, bitcoins could buy you almost nothing. Now, there's almost nothing that bitcoins can't buy. From hard drugs to hard currency, songs to survival gear, cars to consumer goods, retailers are rushing to welcome the virtual currency whose unofficial symbol is a dollar-like, double-barred B.Advocates describe Bitcoin as the foundation stone of a Utopian economy: no borders, no change fees, no closing hours, and no one to tell you what you can and can't do with your money.Just days ago the total value of bitcoins in circulation hit $2 billion, up from a tiny fraction of that last year. But late Wednesday, Bitcoin crashed, shedding more than 60 percent of its value in the space of a few hours before recouping some of its losses. Critics say the roller coaster currency movements are just another sign that Bitcoin is a bubble waiting to burst.Amid all the hype, Bitcoin's origins are a question mark.The mechanics of the virtual currency were first outlined in a research p

We convert Photoshop designs into pixel-perfect, hand coded, cross browser compatible, and W3C validated HTML. Our developers are highly professional and experienced in handling PSD to HTML conversion project.
Why PSD to HTML?
In general, "PSD to HTML" is a workflow. First, a web page is designed in a Photoshop Document (PSD) and then converted to code (using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript). You could swap Photoshop with any other image editor, but the principle is the same.
At first glance, this might seem like a good idea. It can be difficult to start coding if you don't know what the final result is going to look like, so experimenting in Photoshop first and then "exporting" it to HTML sounds like a granular and sensible process. Taking this idea further, many web companies have used PSD to HTML as a template for team workflows.

We are 30 weeks and 1 day today! That means we are 75% finished with this pregnancy and if little man is here on time, we only have 10 short weeks to go. Where has all the time gone? Wasn't it just yesterday that I was holding my non-existent baby belly and thinking/pretending that it was huge?
The nursery is almost finished. The rocker that my mom and sister got us is supposed to come in tomorrow and we're making a Labor Day trip to IKEA to get a bookcase. Then it's just putting everything away. My mom and I are going to knock out the bathroom this weekend and I can't wait! David and I bought the crib mattress and some bedding, the Boppy, and some other odds and ends that we need the weekend. I'll feel much better once I have everything that he needs. I think it's time to start making lists again!
There are still a ton of things to do around the rest of the house, but hopefully we will cross them off the list soon.
We had our baby shower this past weekend. My mom and Stefanie (my bff of 22 years!) hosted it. It was a Parisian brunch theme. We had crepes, cream puffs, eclairs, quiche, and all kinds of other goodies to eat. I had a great time and baby Crossen has lots of new clothes, books, and blankets! I can't wait to wrap him up and read to him!
We had a meeting with our doula tonight at the Birth Haven. It was nice to talk to her and other expectant mamas and to get some advice. I guess it's coming down to the wire and it's time to start thinking about actually having this baby. It's terrifying because you have no idea what to expect. I have a birth plan, but I'm also going into it with an open mind. I know that things happen and I have to be able to go with it. The goal is a healthy baby and mama, and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make sure that happens. I'm planning on having my mom, Kendra, David, and our doula in the room and that puts me at ease a bit. I think if you surround yourself with people you're comfortable with that will make it much easier.
How far along? 30 weeks, 1 day.
Total weight gain/loss: I'll find out Friday.
Stretch marks? 2 on my legs. :(
Sleep: Hit or miss. Some nights I toss and turn all night and get no sleep. Other nights I'm so exhausted I don't even remember falling asleep.
Best moment this week: Our baby shower!
Miss Anything? Being comfortable. Bending over to pick things up. Breathing.
Food cravings: Iced oatmeal cookies and m&m blasts from Sonic.
Anything making you queasy or sick: I loved peanut butter sandwiches last week and now they are disgusting.
Worst moment this week: Dealing with people who don't understand the decisions we're making. I also had a little breakdown because I had a moment when I felt like we weren't going to have everything we need or have the house ready in time.
Gender: Boy!
Aches & Pains: Restless arms and legs. Leg cramps and calf spasms.
Belly Button in or out? It hasn't popped out yet, but it's mostly gone.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: I'm becoming more emotional and teary lately. I haven't really had a crying meltdown this whole pregnancy, but I've had 2 this past week.
Weekly Wisdom: Ask questions! I always make a list to take to my appointments.
Looking forward to: Finishing the nursery and bathroom. Hopefully seeing our maternity pictures soon!

text: Green Dragon 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2017 The three alignments of the Space Gods were confusing and contradictory. Example: According to the Clerics SB greed is an aspect of Coar, as it is of the Nameless One and a passion. But according to the Space Gods Realmbook it is a selfish trait and an aspect of Aka - as evidenced by the fact that servants of the Kanawa Corporation, compelled by the Law of Profit, are Aka. I am seeking to revise Aka and Coar (Zinatt as the middle ground seems all right as is) for my Star Sphere Cosmbook. I want to define Aka is self over all, with it's exemplars being masters of mental pursuits, while baser Aka are driven merely by selfishness. Coar in its lowest form is about destruction; but it is also about the group. Exemplars guide the group to use each member to the fullest and best achieve the goals of the group. Pure Communism is a form of Coar. Thoughts or suggestions appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This article discusses:
1. What do we know about professional development programs and their impact on teacher learning?
2. What are important directions and strategies for extending our knowledge?
1. Changes in classroom practices demanded by the reform visions ultimately rely on teachers.
2. Changes of this magnitude will require a great deal of learning on the part of teachers and will be difficult to make without support and guidance.
3. Teacher professional development is essential to efforts to improve our schools.
1. Professional development currently available to teachers is woefully inadequate for the most part
2. Each year, schools, districts, and the federal government spend millions, if not billions, of dollars on in-service seminars and other forms of professional development that are fragmented, intellectually superficial, and do not take into account what we know about how teachers learn
3. Sykes (1996) characterized the inadequacy of conventional professional development as "the most serious unsolved problem for policy and practice in American education today" (p. 465).
4. The premise of this article is that it is a "serious unsolved problem" for educational research as well.
5. We are only beginning to learn, however, about exactly what and how teachers learn from professional development, or about the impact of teacher change on student outcomes
A Situative Perspective on Teacher Learning and Professional Development
+ Borko uses a situative perspective to interpret existing research on teacher learning and identify issues for future investigation
+ Situative theorists conceptualize learning as changes in participation in socially organized activities, and individuals' use of knowledge as an aspect of their participation in social practices (e.g., Greeno, 2003; Lave & Wenger, 1991).
+ Several scholars have argued that learning has both individual and sociocultural features, and have characterized the learning process as one of enculturation and construction (e.g., Cobb, 1994; Driver et al., 1994).
+ From a situative perspective, teacher learning "is usefully understood as a process of increasing participation in the practice of teaching, and through this participation, a process of becoming knowledgeable in and about teaching" (Adler, 2000, p. 37).
+ To understand teacher learning, we must study it within these multiple contexts, taking into account both the individual teacher-learners and the social systems in which they are participants.
Key elements that make up any professional development system
• The professional development program;
• The teachers, who are the learners in the system;
• The facilitator, who guides teachers as they construct new knowledge and practices; and
• The context in which the professional development occurs.
Type of Research on PD
Phase 1 research activities focus on an individual professional development program at a single site. Researchers typically study the professional development program, teachers as learners, and the relationships between these two elements of the system. The facilitator and context remain unstudied.
In Phase 2, researchers study a single professional development program enacted by more than one facilitator at more than one site, exploring the relationships among facilitators, the professional development program, and teachers as learners.
Phase 1 research provides evidence that high-quality professional development programs can help teachers deepen their knowledge and transform their teaching.
Three characteristics commonly studied are:
+ subject matter knowledge for teaching
+ understanding of student thinking
+ instructional practices
To foster students' conceptual understanding, teachers must have rich and flexible knowledge of the subjects they teach.
To guide student thinking, teachers must also understand how children's ideas about a subject develop, and the connections between their ideas and important ideas in the discipline (Schifter & Fosnot, 1993).
A key reason for deepening teachers' knowledge of subject matter and student thinking is to improve classroom teaching.
Research using the individual teacher as the unit of analysis also indicates that meaningful learning is a slow and uncertain process for teachers, just as it is for students. For example, it appears to be easier for teachers to incorporate strategies for eliciting students' thinking into their teaching than to use what they hear from students to make instructional decisions (Franke et al., 2001; Franke & Kazemi, 2001).
- Community of Teacher Learners - English and history teachers
- QUASAR (Quantitative Understanding: Amplifying Student Achievement and Reasoning) - math
Grossman and colleagues' (2001) insights about teacher community suggest a conceptual explanation for these findings. They argued that we cannot expect teachers to create a community of learners among students if they do not have a parallel community to nourish their own growth. The logic of this claim makes sense, but as a research community we have yet to build an empirical base to support the claim or to shed light on the mechanisms by which this relationship works. [POSSIBLE RESEARCH TOPIC]
A central tenet of situative perspectives is that the contexts and activities in which people learn become a fundamental part of what they learn (Greeno, Collins, & Resnick, 1996). This tenet suggests that teachers' own classrooms are powerful contexts for their learning (Ball & Cohen, 1999; Putnam & Borko, 2000). A number of programs have successfully used artifacts such as instructional plans and assignments, videotapes of lessons, and samples of student work to bring teachers' classrooms into the professional development setting. Such records of practice enable teachers to examine one another's instructional strategies and student learning, and to discuss ideas for improvement (Ball & Cohen, 1999; Little, Gearhart, Curry, & Kafka, 2003).
It is difficult enough to create a professional development curriculum for one's own use. As LeFevre warns, "It is challenging by another magnitude to design a curriculum for use by others" (p. 252).
Next Steps for Professional Development Design and Research
Researchers might investigate whether professional development programs with demonstrated effectiveness for elementary mathematics teachers can be adapted to different subject areas and grade levels.
Phase 2 studies must investigate the balances and tradeoffs between fidelity and adaptation, and consider which elements of a program must be preserved to ensure the integrity of its underlying goals and principles.

WINDMILL, a term used, in the widest sense, for a machine by which the energy of the wind is applied to useful purposes. Windmills were certainly used as early as the 12th century and are still largely employed in Holland in draining t h e polders and grinding trass. They are some-what extensively used in America for pumping and driving agric ult u ral machinery. In spite of the competition of more powerful and tractable motors, they are serviceable, especially in new countries, where fuel is scarce and where work can be done intermittently. An inquiry was made in India in 1879 as to the possibility of using windmills for irrigation (Professional Papers on Indian Engineering, July 1879), with the result that it was concluded their usefulness would be very limited. A windmill is not in any case a very powerful or efficientmotor, and its work is variable and intermittent. In favourable positions, it will run on an average for eight hours out of the twenty-four. For pumping on a small scale, the intermittent action is least an objection, because there is generally a tank or storage reservoir regulating the delivery of the water. For driving dynamos windmills are least suitable, on account of the variation of speed, though some attempts to generate electricity by. wind power have been made, special arrangements being adopted for automatically regulating the speed. European Windmills.—In all the older windmills a shaft, called the wind shaft, carried four to six arms or whips on which long rectangular narrow sails were spread. The wind shaft was placed at an inclination of ro° or 15° with the horizontal, to enable the sails to clear the lower part of the mill. The whip carrying the sail was often 30 to 40 ft. in length, so that the tips of the sails described a circle 6o to 8o ft. in diameter. The sails were rectangular, 5 to 6 ft. wide, and occupying five-sixths of the length of the whip. A triangular leading sail was sometimes added. Sometimes the sails consisted of a sail-cloth spread on a framework; at other times narrow boards were used. The oldest mill was no doubt the post mill, the whole structure being carried on a post; to bring the sails to face the wind, the structure was turned round by a long lever. The post mill was succeeded by the tower, smock or frock mill, in which the mill itself consisted of a stationary tower, and the wind shaft and sails were carried in a revolving cap rotating on the top of the tower. Andrew Meikle introduced in 1750 an auxiliary rotating fan at right angles to the principal sails, which came into action whenever the wind was oblique to the axis of the sails, automatically veering the sails or placing them normal to the wind. For safety, the sails must be reefed in high winds. In 1807, Sir W. Cubitt introduced automatic reefing arrangements. The sails were made of thin boards held up to the wind by weights. If the force of the wind exceeded a certain value the boards were pressed back and exposed little surface. American Windmills.—These generally have the sails, 18 or more in number, arranged in an annulus or disk. The sails consist of narrow boards or slats arranged radially, each board having a constant or variable inclination to the wind's direction. An American mill presents a larger surface for a given length of sail than the older type, and consequently the construction is lighter. To turn the mill face to the wind a rudder is sometimes used projecting backward in a plane at right angles to the plane of rotation of the sails. Various arrangements are adopted for reefing the sails automatically. (a) In some an action equivalent to reefing is obtained by turning the sail disk oblique to the wind. The pressure on a side vane in the plane of rotation, controlled by a weight, turns the sail disk edgeways to the wind if the pressure exceeds a safe amount. (b) In centrifugal governor mills the slats forming the sails are connected in sets of six or eight, each set being fixed to a bar at the middle of its length. By rotating this bar the slats are brought end on to the wind, the action being analogous to shutting an umbrella. The slats are held up to the wind by a weight. A centrifugal governor lifts the weight if the speed becomes excessive and the sails are partially or completely furled. Many of the veering and reefing arrangements are very ingenious and too complicated to be described without detailed drawings. A description of some of these arrangements will be found in a paper by J. A. Griffiths (Prot. Inst. Civ. Eng., 119, p. 321) and in a " Report on Trials of Wind Pumping Engines at Park Royal in 1903 " (Journ- Roy. Agric., Soc., 64, p. 174). Warner's Annular Sail Windmill.—Messrs Warner of London make a windmill somewhat similar to American mills. The shutters or vanes consist of a frame covered with canvas, and these are pivoted between two angle-iron rings so as to form an annular sail. The vanes are connected with spiral springs, which keep them up to the best angle of weather for light winds. If the strength of the wind increases, the vanes give to the wind, forcing back the springs, and thus the area on which the wind acts diminishes. In addition, there are a striking lever and tackle for setting the vanes edgeways to the wind when the mill is stopped or a storm is expected. The wheel is kept face to the wind by a rudder in small mills; in large mills a subsidiary fan and gear are used. Fig. 2 shows a large mill of this kind, erected in a similar manner to a tower mill. The tower is a framework of iron, and carries a revolving cap, on which the wind shaft is fixed. Behind is the subsidiary fan with its gearing acting on a toothed wheel fixed to the cap. It is important that a wind-mill should control itself so that it works efficiently in moderately strong winds and at the same time runs in very light winds, which are much more prevalent. It should also, by reefing or otherwise, secure safety in storms. Table I. gives the mean velocity of the wind in miles per hour for an inland station, Kew, and a very ex-posed station, Scilly, for each month during the period 189o-1899. The pressure of the wind on a plane normal to its direction, composed partly of an excess front pressure and negative back pressure, is given by the relation p =0.003 v2, where p is in pounds per square foot and v the velocity of the wind in miles per hour. It varies a little with the form and size of the surface, but for the present purpose this variation may be disregarded. (See experiments by Dr Stanton at the National Physical Laboratory, Proc. Inst. Civ. Eng. 156, p. 78.) For velocities of 5, 10 and 20 m. per hour the pressures on a plane normal to the wind would be about 0.075, 0.3 and 1.2 lb per sq. ft. respectively, and these may be taken to be crdinary working velocities for windmills. In storms the pressures are much greater, and must be reckoned with in considering the stability of the mill. A favourable wind velocity for windmills is 15 m. per hour. Jan. Feb. March. April. May.

In mills of the American type, 0=28° to 4o°, and the speed of the tips of the vanes is to i time that of the wind. Then if Oa=n be the normal pressure on the sail or vane per square foot, ba=t is the effective component of pressure in the direction of rotation and t=n sing=p2sinocosO I +cos' 0 ' When the sail is rotating in a plane at right angles to the wind direction the conditions are more complicated. In fig. 4 let XX be the plane of rotation of the vane and YY the direction of the wind. Let Oct be the normal to the vane, 0 being the weather of the vane. Let Ov=v be the velocity of the wind, Ou=u the velocity of the vane. Completing the parallelogram, Ov,=v, is the velocity and direction of the wind relatively to the vane. v,= (v2+u2) =v sec 4,, tan 4,=u/v, and the angle between the relative direction of wind and normal to the vane is 0+0. It is clear that 0+0 cannot be greater than 90°, or the vane would press on the wind instead of the wind on the vane. Substituting these values in the equations already given, the normal pressure on the oblique moving vane is in = •003 v2 sec2 0 cos(o+0) +cos (o-}-~) The component of this pressure in the direction of motion of the vane is t = •003 v'- sec202 sin1(++4))coscos(o+¢)(11+0) and the work done in driving the vane is to = tv tan 4) =•003 v3 sec2 4, tan , 2 sin (0+0)cos (o+¢) + cos' (o+0) foot lb per sq. ft. of vane per sec., where v is taken in miles per hour. For such angles and velocities as are usual in windmills this would give for a square foot of vane, near the tip about 0.003 v3 ft. lb per! O-sec. But parts of the vane or sail nearer the axis of rotation are less effective, and there are mechanical friction and other causes of inefficiency.

In fig. 3 let AB be part of a windmill sail or vane at rest, XX being the plane of rotation and YY the direction of the wind. The angle 0 is termed the weather of the sail.

Some data given by Wolff on mills of the American type gave for the same quantity W =0.000450. From some of the data of experiments by Griffiths on mills of the American type used in pumping, the effective work in pumping when the mill was working in the best conditions amounted to from 0.0005v3 to 0.00030 ft. lb per sec. per sq. ft. In 1903 trials of wind-pumping engines were carried out at Park Royal by the Royal Agricultural Society (loam. Roy. Agric. Soc. lxiv. 174). The mills were run for two months altogether, pumping against a head of 200 ft. The final results on six of the best mills are given in Table II. A valuable paper by J. A. Griffiths (Prot. Inst. Civ. Eng. cxix. 321) contains details of a number of windmills of American type used for pumping and the results of a series of trials. Table III. contains an abstract of the results of his observations on six types of windmills used for pumping:-eastern doorway of the Erechtheum, which formed part of the original building of 430 B.C., have lately been found; they were rectangular windows with moulded and enriched architrave, resting on a sill and crowned with the cymatium moulding. Of later date, at Ephesus, remains of similar windows have been discovered. Of Roman windows many examples have been found, those of the Tabularium being the oldest known. A coin of Tiberius representing the temple of Concord shows features in the side wings which might be windows, but as statues are shown in them they are possibly only niches. Over the door of the Pantheon is an open bronze grating, which is thought to be the prototype of the windows which lighted the large halls of the Thermae, as it was absolutely necessary that these should be closed so as to retain the heat, the openings in the gratings being filled with glass.

Dory went to feed Bob — the colt her white roan, Grace, birthed a couple of months ago — and noticed quite a gash high on his butt, near his hip bone. On further inspection, she found that there were several smaller cuts as well and that the pattern of them seemed to indicate that it was a cougar attack.
Despite the official line that cougars are extinct in these mountains, our family has sighted several over the years. They are called extinct because their numbers are considered too few to be genetically sustainable, not because they aren't here at all.
So, it's not far-fetched to conclude that a cougar tried to take down Bob and failed. There are two sets of cuts, each set has four, and they start spread farther apart than they are at their end — a fan effect that one would expect from cat claws … big ones. It's less likely, but possible, that a bear could have done this, but bears around here are the more docile black bears that are happy eating vegetarian fare when it's plentiful, which it is this year.
Bob's ok, though there will surely be a scar from the one deep cut despite the antibiotic ointment being applied.
Dory checked with some neighbors and found that several people have had smaller farm animals and pets killed lately by some large animal. One neighbor, Alvin, said there have been at least three tied up dogs killed in the last six weeks or so. One was his sister's dog right next door! Another dog, a bulldog, got away and was terrified. The other was torn to pieces, pieces the size of Alvin's fist. Other neighbors, Carl and Julie, lost two goats and an expensive hunting dog, which was killed and drug up under a big rock.
So, cougar or bear, there is something large and hungry making its rounds here on Spring Creek.

Treadmill Buying Guide
Published: 30 November 2015
With the winter months upon us, you may not want to venture outside to walk or run. Luckily, Flex Fitness Equipment has you covered. We offer excellent deals on high-quality treadmills ranging from Tunturi to Bremshey to Lifegear models. So which one is the right fit for you? Below is a guide that will help you find your new treadmill and make sure your investment lasts well beyond this winter.
First, it's important to determine the WHO, WHERE and HOW.
WHO – If you have a history of knee problems, shock absorption may be the most important feature. For an injury-free person, that may not be as important.
WHERE – Depending on the amount of space you have available, that will narrow down your selection. If you only have a small amount of space, a large treadmill would not be the right fit.
HOW – Are you going to use this treadmill a lot? A person who runs every day will not want the same treadmill as someone who walks for 20 minutes three times per week.
Now that you've answered those questions, it's time to dive into treadmill features.
Shock Absorption
Shock absorption is a key feature on any treadmill. If it feels like you're running on asphalt, do not buy it. It must be comfortable for you to run or walk and not cause or aggravate impact injuries.
The motor is very important. Test out the treadmill and see if it makes a lot of noise. Noise can be a major concern for some, especially if you live in a small house or apartment building. The cooling mechanism is also very important. Without the proper cooling mechanism, the treadmill will potentially overheat and not last very long.
For some it may come down to simplicity. Is the layout simple? Can you turn the treadmill on and off easily? How about adjusting the speed or incline? If the layout doesn't work for you, the treadmill probably isn't the right fit.
Electronic Features
Many treadmills have more electronic features then anyone would ever use, but what do they all mean? Some users like to go the same distance at the same speed at the exact same incline every time they step on the machine. Others like to push harder. Features such as interval training, fitness test or heart rate training are common. Some treadmills offer a custom training feature where you can train and track your workouts. If several people will be using the treadmill, creating user profiles is a great tool. If you like to push your limits, track your workouts and have a variety on the treadmill, features like these may be something you would want included.
Safety is very important on a treadmill no matter what age or condition you are in. Does it have handrails that you can grab on too? Is the emergency feature on the treadmill easily accessible so in case of an injury, the treadmill can be stopped without much trouble?
So now that you know what types of features are available in treadmill models, you probably have a better idea of what product you would like to purchase. So what's left? The last two things to mark off your checklist are the brand and warranty.
Getting a well-known brand with good reviews is very important when purchasing a treadmill. Flex Fitness Equipment offers three excellent brands of treadmills including Tunturi, Lifegear and Bremshey. All of those companies produce high-quality products and have the reputation to back it up.
You aren't buying a treadmill for just one year of use. You want to get a good return on your investment. Most quality treadmills provide at least a 10-year warranty on the frame as well as at least a year on the motor, electronics and deck and belt. Don't get too carried away with the warranty, but it is a nice feature to have solid coverage in case you have a problem with your new equipment.
Are you ready to buy a treadmill? It's a lot to process. Every person has different needs. Figure out what your needs are, test out the product before purchasing and start getting healthy on your brand new treadmill. Flex Fitness Equipment offers a great selection of treadmills at an affordable price! Happy treadmilling!

Trevor Pinnock - Journey - All Music
A leader in the field of early music performance for half a century, Trevor Pinnock is best known to audiences as the conductor of the English Concert and the European Brandenburg Ensemble, though he has long maintained a second career as a harpsichordist. Journey, his 2016 release on Linn Records, is a survey of 200 years of harpsichord music from Spain, England, the Netherlands, Germany, and Italy, and Pinnock constructs a kind of musical narrative, inspired by the travels ofAntonio de Cabezón through these countries. The program includes short pieces by Cabezón, William Byrd, Thomas Tallis, John Bull, Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck, Girolamo Frescobaldi, and George Frideric Handel, though works of Johann Sebastian Bach and Domenico Scarlatti are explored in a little more depth through the French Suite No. 6 in E major, BWV 817, and the three Sonatas in D major, K. 490, K. 491, and K. 492. Such a smattering of Renaissance and Baroque music can only give a general outline of the historical developments in keyboard writing, though Pinnock has chosen well from representative pieces, and the album is enjoyable for the variety and richness of these composers' approaches. The multichannel recording gives Pinnock great clarity and close-up presence, though the use of a single instrument for such a wide-ranging survey is a missed opportunity to show off the different sonorities available to these composers.

I don't recall meeting any person who doesn't own a good little black dress; even though, I love my bright colours and I generally reckon they have a happy vibe to them, an LBD is everybody's go-to when you want a quick dressed up evening look.
Now usually I take my favourite black dress and wear with a bright pair of shoes and skip accessorizing but for this post, I thought of doing an all black look.
On a day when my clock is ticking faster than the F-1 cars on the tracks, I throw in a black shirt on my black denims and wear it with my go-to black pumps wherein the contrast usually comes via a pink, orange or red lips. Trust me, it looks so much more glamorous for the efforts you have actually put in.
Coming to this look, I had bought this peplum midi skirt from Koovs this summer and was waiting eagerly to style it. I really had some dramatic tops on my mind for it but later, zeroed in on donning a black tank top with it. A black tank top is such a savior and I'm pretty certain most of us would have it in our closet.
Earlier in 2016-17, there were these sandals which I spotted on so many celebrities and I don't exactly know what they are called , so let's name them the three-ringed sandals. I found a much cheaper alternative on Intoto and was so happy to finally get my hands on them. I wore them with my all black outfit and they fit in perfectly in the frame.
Now, I really wanted a statement accessory for this look and I picked up these blade earrings from Pipa Bella to do the job. It's not a piece everybody would love but I'm all heart for such fun yet dramatic pieces. The best part is they look so heavy but are actually feather-light on your ears.
Tell me how you liked the whole look.
P.S. I particularly like the way the skirt accentuates my curves. *wink*
Until next time,
Stay stylish, Stay fabulous,
Reitu ♥

What are you expecting to see amongst the trees and long grasses of Kanha? 'The Tiger'- and only the Tiger?
This is a common response prior to any wildlife park safari, especially here in the Kanha National Park. But sometimes it may not be everyone's good fortune to turn this ir dream into a reality.
We set out for an early morning safari drive. An exquisite sun rises to the clamor of whooping calls from Langur monkeys, and the songs of birds heartily welcoming us into their jungle.
As usual I went to a favourite place called Minkur Nallah Bridge, as it is one of the hot spot places in the Mukki range. As we reached there, a tigress was sitting next to the bridge near the water body. She then she stood up, walked into the nullah, proceeding further into the bamboo thickets. We decided to wait there, hoping she would come out again.
Our Guide heard an alarm call from a Sambar Deer – far way and anticipated that she was still on the move, and could come out from the fire break . We too headed off towards the break, and waited. The surprise of the day was yet to unfold.
This magnificent Tigress was stalking a group of spotted deer, and we all became alive with anticipation of being observers of a live hunt in the wild – a once in a life time sighting. We were all so excited to watch this real time drama unfold before our very eyes.
Suddenly deer saw and smelt her presence, and ran away to a safe distance from this dreaded predator.
Alas ! She missed the opportunity of a kill, and vanished off into the jungle.

Michael Clark Proves That (20/10 Vision) Does Exist In The Basketball World
If you don't know Michael Clark then it's about time you get...
"Yes, definitely," Chambers said during an exclusive interview with BASN. "This is the opportunity that will put me in line for a title shot. This is only the beginning."
Chambers, an undefeated 25-year-old from Philadelphia, is one of four heavyweight contenders ranked by the International Boxing Federation. The No. 10-rated Chambers, along with Calvin Brock (No. 3), Chris Byrd (No. 4), and Alexander Povekin (No. 10) will meet each other to determine just who will challenge Klitschko next year for the unified IBF/IBO heavyweight titles.
Klitschko is scheduled to make an optional defense between January-February of next year before fighting the winner of the IBF heavyweight elimination tournament next summer.
In the interim, Byrd is preparing to fight Povekin on Oct. 27, while Chambers is scheduled to face Calvin Brock the following week on Nov. 2. Chambers is very optimistic about his chances of beating Brock.
"Against Brock, I'd have to move in and out," Chambers said. "I have to do more basic foot movement. I'd have to fight in and out, taking the fight to him. I'd make him throw punches so that I can counter and get open shots."
Chambers is also intrigued by the match-up between Byrd, a former two-time heavyweight champion, and Povekin, a young heavyweight upstart and former Olympic gold medalist looking to make his mark on heavyweight landscape.
"Byrd had a title and has been in big fights against some of the great fighters of his era," Chambers said. "Povekin is young and trying to get to the top in the pro ranks. Byrd's experience and age against a hungry guy in Povekin. I like Byrd's style and how he fought punchers. It's a very good matchup."
Although Klitschko has already beaten Byrd and Brock a combined three times in as many fights, it's not as if the IBF is issuing sympathy passes for an automatic shot at redemption. Both Byrd and Brock would have to work hard to surpass the challenges of Chambers and Povekin, another young unbeaten heavyweight before crossing paths.
The winners will then meet one another in the final to determine who will challenge Klitschko for the unified IBF/IBO heavyweight championships in the summer of 2008.
Chambers understands that winning the tournament is one thing, but fighting a 6-foot-7, 245-pound puncher that is trained by Emmanuel Steward will be a very daunting task.
"You've got to be very well prepared," Chambers said about a potential fight with Klitschko. "I'd have to be ready to take a little bit more punishment. Having Emmanuel Steward instructing him makes him a very tough fighter."
"If I can fight inside, making him feel uncomfortable, step around him and catch him with a few good shots, I might be able to force a stoppage."
Chambers is a fresh new face in the heavyweight landscape. At 6-feet-1 and 215 pounds, Chambers is regarded as a small heavyweight compared to the other more established heavys that are at least 6-feet-4 and over 235 pounds. But Chambers has fast hands and has made a name for himself as a fighter to watch for.
In his recent bout, Chambers soundly out-boxed Dominick Guinn through 10 rounds in May. Chambers has kept busy fighting at least three times per year since he began his professional career in December 2001. The hard work has paid off, as Chambers is two victories way from challenging for a world heavyweight championship.
