text: Carl August Grenser (1720-1807) worked in Dresden and was a very productive and skilled woodwind maker. My copy of his flute is primarily based on the well-known original in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nürnberg (MIR 297), but also on a few other originals in other musea and private collections. In this way I was able to combine the best features of several originals into my own copy. The result is a well-balanced instrument, extremely well in tune and with excellent tonal qualities. The C.A. Grenser flute is more baroque in appearance than the G.A. Rottenburgh, also has 7 differently pitched center pieces. The embouchure undercutting is about 12.0 mm in average, so it has a little more resistance than the Rottenburgh, enabling delicate gradations. Copies are available in boxwood or grenadilla, can be provided with screwcap, registerfoot and a 440 Hz corps de rechange, also as a students' model. My copy of the Grenser flute has a solid bottom register and a reedy tone. It can be used for most of the German repertoire of the 18th century. Though C.A. Grenser made flutes with more keys, I preferred the models of his nephew J.H. Grenser as a more-keyed instrument.

There's always a fiesta in our kitchen! I love mexican food, not as much as Indian food, but its right up there. What accompanies both cuisines, that we can't eat….rice, and tortillas/nann. In luai of all this starchy goodness, it is still possible to enjoy all the wonderful flavors that Mexican cuisine brings with it.
Chicken Fajitas
3 lbs chicken breast, cut in thin strips;
3 bell peppers
2 onions, sliced;
2 tbsp oregano, chili powder, cumin and coriander;
6 chopped garlic cloves;
Juice of 5 lemons;
4 tbsp cooking fat/oil
1 avocado (I created Brock's Guac)
1/2 cup salsa
- Combine the chicken, bell peppers, onions, spices, garlic and lemon juice in a bowl and mix well;
- If preparing ahead of time, let marinate in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours.
- When ready to cook, heat a large skillet on medium heat and cook the whole preparation with the cooking fat until the chicken is cooked through and the onion and bell pepper are soft.
- Put the hot chicken preparation in a large bowl and let the people prepare their own fajitas on top of lettuce leaves with their favorite toppings.

Hold down the star key * for 2 seconds this switches Bluetooth on and do the same and this switches bluetooth off !! great tip.. Answer to the guy below, The wifi speed is fast as my pc.. It will depend on your wireless connection speed also.. But its fast and the e51 worth every penny.. Guys Thanks My E51 Family ...lol
i'm thinking of buying this phone.
it seems satisfying.
but i have one question..
how fast is the wi-fi connection?
thanks in advance.
Hi Nokia Employee,
Plzzz keep on posting this VERY USEFUL & HELPFUL trips and tricks. Those are working great even in my other nokia phones also. Thanks a lot for your post.
Thanks for the tips!!! Great stuff!! one question though... if i wait for the battery to completely gone... then I wouldn;t be able to use the phone while it's charging then...?
Hi Nokia Employee,
Thanks for all your tips. Really appreciate them and you spending your time to post them.
I just got myself an E51 today and am in total love with it.
:) Regards
I do own a Nokia E51 White Silver (Stainless Edition). I also worked for Nokia as a Design Engineer. I will give you some tips and tricks that can be useful for your sleek E51 and to use its maximum features.
Trick Number 1
When you want to speed up the system response of the phone go to call log and change it from lest say 30 days to just 1 day. ( Unless you are very keen in tracking your phone log )
Trick Number 2
To prolong the battery life, please do close unwanted application on the phone by pressing the house icon for 2 seconds and press the clear button to exit it.
You can also change the 3G network to GSM mode when you are not expecting a video call, MMS, or using the mobile internet.
When the " Low Battery" message appears and you wanted to prolong your battery life for a few more hours, simply decrease the phone volume, deactivate vibrator mode, and lower the phone brightness. This will give you 2 hours more of standby time in cases of emergency.
Trick Number 3
Please do always use the synchronize feature of the phone to save relevant data and update it once a week if possible.You can back up all the files of the phone including your MMC.
Trick Number 4
Proper charging of the phone makes the battery life last longer. You do charge your phone when its totally empty and not when its in a "low battery mode". The battery has microchip implanted with a memory that can recognize when the phone is to be charged totally and when its not. Not completely charged battery for E51 might result in a poor battery life. Mine normally last 5 days with WI-FI running, SMS, MP3 and bluetooth for business use.
Many more tricks that I will share in future posting.......
hey guys i m new at this blog.... and i m thinking of buying this cell.... can anyone tell me(using this cell) how is the FM radio...particularly in India.. plz reply
Good phone, but I can not operating E-mail option in Bangladesh. How can I ?
Wat a question, ??? What should you do?... What a question, You will have made many users smile today. Well you have a couple solutions.. Phone up nokia and ask for a one off E51 be designed just for you with a front camera so your girlfriend can see ? she could carry around a photo and clip it to your phone? You could phone her in same room? BUT ! honestly mate fancy posting a problem like that, As the readers will know I helped lots of people on here but God would find it hard to stick a camera on the front of your E51.. HERES the solution. tel her to buy you a different phone, Read the spec before you buy. And buy a different model with a front facing cam. The E51 Was designed for a different market, So say to her " busy with the business babe " E51 still worth it and even more so if the missus cant check up on you like a wireless mirror.. Goodluck mate..
hi..can any1 help me regarding the video call of E51,how cn my partner see me if there is no camera in front? what should i do?
Wanted to know whether E51 is Blackberry compatible i.e. if my company has a blackberry enterprise server installed, will I be able to get my Lotus Domino mails on this phone easily (i am able to get it on E61 - not sure whether the two phones are different as far as this feature is concerned)
Dear All,
Does any body know whether this device contain GPS? Overall, E51 has all features I need, but still not sure it has GPS or not? This is the reason why I'm still hesitate to buy it. Please help me if someone know about this, so that I can decide asap. Thanks a lot!
Hi ,I got this phone and it rocks yeah...I just want to know about any good download sites for applications,games,etc. If anyone know,please let me know...thanks
Hey! Just wonderin if the E51s got the option of changing font size, like to a really large one? coz need a phone with large font size unlike the tiny font availabl in the treo 750..
Hi All,
I am also using Nokia E51........could any one tell me how can i make use of all the features like Email with support for POP3,
Instant messaging, Java MIDP 2.0 applications likeNokia Office Tools 2.0 including Nokia Team Suite, In-device Search, Quickoffice, Macromedia PDF reader, Zip manager, File manager, and Active Notes, WLAN networks,Bluetooth 2.0. Please tell me the related sites for s/ws availble. Thanks.
The E51 is one of the Best Phone Nokia ever build. It has everything I do need for Nice Basic Phone. It is slim, Nice package, 3G, Wi-Fi, Light, E-mail, World Coverage, and many more features. I do have the N82 and do not use it much since feel to big and heavy in my Hand. Only ofer better Camera. So What. I think Nokia made a mistak not think E51. Since after buying E51 there is no need of buying another Nokia Phone. Just as alternative 2nd phoen wait for new IPHONE or HTC Daimond. But I never sell my E51.

"And the roses--the roses! Rising out of the grass, tangled round the sun-dial, wreathing the tree trunks and hanging from their branches, climbing up the walls and spreading over them with long garlands falling in cascades --they came alive day by day, hour by hour. Fair fresh leaves, and buds--and buds--tiny at first but swelling and working Magic until they burst and uncurled into cups of scent delicately spilling themselves over their brims and filling the garden air."

Kerala to host its first global conference on gender equality
Thiruvananthapuram: As gender discussions increasingly take centre stage in and outside the country, Kerala is gearing up to host a global conference on gender equality with the participation of thinkers, scholars, field experts, professionals and policymakers from around the world.
The Gender Park, an institution under the state department of Social Justice, is organising the three-day International Conference on Gender Equality (ICGE -I) here with the support of UN Women from November 12-14.
It is envisaged to be the country's first such large-scale exercise in creating a space to share knowledge and global experiences in reducing gender inequalities, said officials of Gender Park, which has already made a notable social impact with the women-run 'She Taxi' initiative.
"Gender, Governance and Inclusion" is the core theme of the conference that will discuss issues ranging from citizenship, globalisation, work, governance, health and education to masculinities, disability and the role of media, they said.
"For our state, this exercise takes on added significance because we hope to be able to draw attention to the successes and weaknesses of the Kerala model of development," state Minister for Social Justice M K Muneer said.
He said the programme would provide in-depth vision and understanding of the best practices worldwide for achieving gender equality.
Gender Park CEO Dr P T M Sunish said the conference would build on the success of initiatives such as the all-women taxi cab 'She Taxi', which is being adopted by other states as a powerful model for women's entrepreneurship and a means to ensuring their social and financial security.
"What we have realised with She Taxi is that there are very practical, viable solutions for addressing gender issues out there, waiting to be explored. The conference, we expect, will generate a pool of ideas that can be built on and implemented successfully," he said.
There will be paper presentations, plenary sessions and panel discussions on various themes. A poster exhibition will be on display throughout the conference.
ICGE-I will bring out a high-quality publication capturing the knowledge and lessons in this area and formulate a 2015 ICGE Statement on the way forward for Kerala and India to act on, promote and sustain gender equality, official sources added.

Just read it; unable to fathom what all the hype is about….
The novel opens with the murder of Louvre's (Paris) elderly curator, whose body is found covered in baffling symbols. It's up to Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon and cryptologist Sophie Neveu to solve the mystery shrouding this murder. What is more startling is that the curator was a member of a secret society,"priory of Sion", whose other notable members were Da Vinci, Sir Isaac Newton and Victor Hugo…
Before his death, Sauniere (curator) left codes and clues hidden in works of Leonardo Da Vinci, which leads to one of the greatest hidden secrets in history. It's a race against a faceless adversary to solve the clues, otherwise one of the greatest truths would be lost forever.
There are many refrences to Leonardo Da Vinci masterpieces throughout the book…
Saniere body was found in imitation of Leonardo Da Vinci's famous "Vitruvian man"
First, this novel is full of information dumps, especially those calm soliloquies which main characters are so fond of, while chased down by cops and assassins. Character profiles are weakly drawn coupled with the fact that dialogue is rudimentary. Another fact showing poor writing is that the protagonist knows everything, elevating its status from a simple mortal to a living demigod. This idea may catch with video gamers and kids, who fall for character's awesomeness but in reality it's poor writing.
Reading this I felt my IQ plummetting down the slope, any twist or proceeding even if it is obvious, is shoved right under the reader's nose, like the reader is unable to grasp it.
It's a mystery novel but without any sense of foreshadowing and is based on Brown's formula, bearing many similarities to his other books especially decption point.
Coming to novel content and historical facts, I would have paid any heed to these ravings, if only Dan Brown had been an accomplished researcher or even just a historian. Fortunately, this is not the case: at best, research is self-serving and a collection of conspiracy theories. Assessments and deductions can only be regarded as tinfoil theories; acceptable only to conspiracy theorists. No matter how open-minded you are, facts are way out of the believable domain and are touching the boundary of ludicrousy.
The most frustating thing is first page titled facts, and Dan Brown's statements that if he had written it as non-fiction, it would not have been much different… in other words, accordin to him, this novel is historically accurate and every fact& event stated is true.
In short, this is an ordinary page-turning thriller, aimed to mock christanity. The only reason for its success seems to be conspiracy theorists. Much of awe inspired is the result of proliferate refrences and involvement of art masterpieces (painting and architecture) throughout the novel.
Rating: 2/5

Returning to Work After Postpartum Depression
When a perfectionist has a baby, things can fall apart very quickly.
As an editor here at the Journal I could skillfully edit a complex finance story, calm a testy reporter, put out a graphics fire and give an intern advice, all at the same time, and all while maintaining my composure. So when my husband and I found out we were expecting a baby, I thought, compared to my work life, how hard could it be to keep a tiny human fed, warm and clean?
As it turned out, some of the personality traits that made me good at my job were also psychological risk factors for postpartum depression, or PPD. I was a classic Type-A, perfectionist control freak. Great for editing, not so great for childrearing.

"Having the ability to bring in a big body righty offensive player of Kevin's ability is a big signing for our organization," said Bellies GM Dan Richardson. "The fact he's a hometown kid who played all his minor, junior and now senior again is just a bonus."
This New West native played five years of Junior A with the Bellies, putting up a total of 41 goals and 45 assists over 38 games. He then went on to play 14 Senior A games with the Bellies totalling 21 goals and 28 assists.

Kevin was a member of Team Canada's U-19 team in 2008, and then went on to play for Team Canada in 2010 where they were finalists in the World Lacrosse Championships played in Manchester, England. Kevin would go on to play with Team Canada once again in 2014, where Canada won 8-5 over the USA in the gold metal game. In that game, Kevin scored five of the eight Team Canada goals.
"As coaches we are very excited that Kevin is re-joining the Bellies organization," says head coach Steve Goodwin. "He brings a high level of passion and skill to our offensive right side and continues with our goal to bring New Westminster born and raised players into the Bellies family."

Beginning Java eight Language beneficial properties covers crucial and complex good points of the Java programming language resembling the recent lambda expressions (closures), internal sessions, threads, I/O, Collections, rubbish assortment, streams, and extra. writer Kishori Sharan offers over 60 diagrams and 290 entire courses that will help you visualize and higher comprehend the themes coated during this book.

|Employee of the Month
|Episode No.:
|Season 1
|Previous Episode:
|The Chaperone
|Next Episode:
|Scaredy Pants
"Employee of the Month" is an episode from Season 1.
- January 27,Wednesday: Employee of the month day
- January 15,Wednesday: Annoy Squidward Day
- January 2000
At the Krusty Krab, SpongeBob reminds Squidward that it is Employee of the Month Award day. However, Squidward tells SpongeBob that the award is a scam, and Mr. Krabs is using it to make him work harder. SpongeBob doesn't believe him, and works harder. Mr. Krabs warns SpongeBob that Squidward might get the new Employee of the Month Award, and since SpongeBob has 26 consecutive awards (and wants a 27th), he starts worrying. Squidward says that he could get the award if he wanted to, and SpongeBob asks him to prove it. They both decide that they will arrive at the Krusty Krab earlier than the other; SpongeBob tries to destroy Squidward's alarm clock so he won't wake up, but Squidward has 28 more in his closet. They set up traps early in the morning, but they finally get out and start running towards the Krusty Krab. They 'overwork' (ex: Squidward cleans the tables so much that he breaks them and then he and SpongeBob use two spatulas each to make hundreds of Krabby Patties), eventually causing the Krusty Krab to explode. As the Krabby Patties rain down from the sky, some of the citizens of Bikini Bottom believe that they are free, and while Mr. Krabs tries to makes the citizens pay for them, SpongeBob and Squidward ask him who is the Employee of the Month.
- SpongeBob has won the Employee of the Month award 26 times in a row, which means that (if he had gotten his first within his first month of working) he's been working at the Krusty Krab for 2 years and 2 months. Also, even though SpongeBob says he won Employee of the Month for 26 months, there's actually 43 frames of him on the wall.
- In The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, SpongeBob won 374 times, meaning that he probably won the employee of the month in this episode.
- In the episode Pickles, Squidward burns everything he cooks including shakes, but in this episode he does not burn a single Krabby Patty.
- The employee of the month photos are again seen in The Original Fry Cook.
- When SpongeBob is trying to get to the Krusty Krab tied in Squidward's giant anchor, his lips don't move when he says Eyah! which shows a body language that he is very exhausted.
- Squidward reads a magazine entitled Frown Digest in this episode.
- This is the first episode pair to not feature Patrick.
- There are two possible outcomes on who won the Employee of the Month Award:
- No one since both SpongeBob and Squidward destroyed the Krusty Krab.
- SpongeBob because in the episode Breath Of Fresh Squidward, Squidward said to SpongeBob he wished he could be Employee of the Month.
- The title music for this episode is the same as Welcome to the Chum Bucket.
- The Song of the Volga Boatmen plays when Squidward and SpongeBob are dragging the ship and anchor (respectively) to the Krusty Krab.

I am a great believer in the benefits to using a tripod to improve the quality of your photographs (naturally this is only of benefit in situations where a tripod does not become a hindrance such as street photography).
I talked about tripods and plates in a previous entry that can be read here . I discussed a number of points in the article including the fact that to consider the system that you are buying into for mounting the camera (or lens) to the tripod. The only truly universal system that is supported by all of the major manufacturers is the "Arca-Swiss" system. This is supported by Arca-Swiss, Kirk, Really Right Stuff and now support from Joby has been added too. Strangely not one of the camera and/or lens manufacturers support this and always fit a "standard" tripod foot when the device warrants a connection for a tripod. However, this is where the various third-party manufacturers make their money so I guess that they don't mind.
As I wanted to connect my NEX-7 to my tripod that only accepts arca-swiss connected plates I needed to research the options available. Only Really Right Stuff (RRS) offers an L-bracket for the NEX-7; Kirk offer a very basic non-specific plate too. The L-bracket (or L-plate) allows you to change the orientation (portrait-landscape) of the camera and keep the lens axis in approximately the same place. Without an L-bracket you have to use the ball head and this shifts the axis to the left/right and down, this will require you to recompose the shot.
Regardless of whose plate I purchased (RRS or Kirk's) I needed to order them from the US. Although this is very simple now, it isn't the cheapest option, you have to pay more for postage and you will be hit for import duty, VAT and an additional postage levy as it stopped the delivery to go through customs. The RRS The L-plate costs $120 + $42.50 (International postage) and by the time that the bracket arrives in the UK with all of the VAT and Custom duty, etc it cost £143.97.
The RRS L-plate for the NEX-7 is of a modular design and specifically designed to mate with the NEX-7 camera. This custom L-plate was designed to fit Sony NEX7's ultra-thin body as snugly as possible, but still make room for opening and positioning its LCD panel. The gap below the LCD screen provides clearance for the screen to be tilted up or down; with the L-plate installed, you can still hold the camera over your head and swivel the screen so that it can be seen from below.
The dimensions are:
Width = 90mm (3.54 inches)
Height = 62mm (2.44 inches)
Weight = 64g (2.3 ounces)
Here is a quick Un-boxing and first look video that I filmed (using a Sony RX-100) and uploaded to You-Tube:
This is what the plate fitted to an NEX-7 looks like:
More details on the plate can be found here.

After walking around a bit, we jumped back in the Jeep and drove it south to take a look at Bondi Beach. It's 1/2 mile (or 1km) of white sand known for big waves so it's popular with surfers. We saved actually getting out for another day.
After returning to the apartment, we ended the day by walking over to the Rocks for dinner at our new favorite restaurant...Pancakes-On-The-Rocks. Yes...you can get a plate of fluffy buttermilk pancakes for about $8.00. Yes, you're cringing at the price back home, but a cheap meal here! Mm, Mm, Mm, very tasty. Of course you can get "real" meals or crepes if you want, but nothing says tasty like a plate of butter-slathered pancakes. (minus the syrup, of course). A good day..except for the sun burn on my face. No, mom, Karen, and Jared, I forgot to put on sunscreen. Yes, I realize that isn't good. Yes, I realize I now look like a raccoon because I was wearing my sunglasses. No, I won't forget to put it on in the future.

Strong Is the Silence: Challenging Interlocking Systems of Privilege and Oppression in Mathematics Teacher Education
Strong Is the Silence: Challenging Interlocking Systems of Privilege and Oppression in Mathematics Teacher Education - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
Journal of Urban Mathematics Education, v6 n1 p6-18 Jul 2013
In this essay, the authors provide a rationale for the need to break the silence of privilege and oppression in mathematics education. They begin by providing a brief rationale from their personal and professional perspectives, which includes background about planning and executing the Privilege and Oppression in the Mathematics Preparation of Mathematics Teachers Educators (PrOMPTE) conference, which motivated this special issue of the "Journal of Urban Mathematics Education." The authors then move into a (more typical) literature-based rationale for a focus on exploring and engaging with systems of privilege and oppression in relationship to themselves as mathematics teacher educators and in the preparation of new mathematics teacher educators.

Is this now the Beginning of the End for Petrol Power?
A Bolt getting a Volt.
We have heard for a number of years now that Electric Vehicles are going to replace all of our petrol cars in the very near future, but as of yet, the market penetration has been limited.
This is really because of five key factors, as far as the customer is concerned. Primarily, the cost of an EV is significantly higher than a petrol-powered car in most markets, and although you save on fuel in the long term, you will still end up out of pocket. On top of that, it simply doesn't go far enough; in fact, most only go about 360 kilometres at present, and when you do run out of juice, it takes too long to charge – over an hour – if you can find a charging station with the correct plug. Recently, oil has become so cheap and only the hemp-wearing trouser brigade has taken EV's seriously thus far. Perhaps the biggest problem though, is that most of us are living in apartments where you simply cannot get an extension cord long enough to reach from your living space to the car parking space.
Undeterred, Chevrolet has launched its latest incarnation of the Bolt, and now the company believes that it can change our mindset and personal prejudices; well, at least in the Land known as American Suburbia, an almost mythical place where everyone can park their ride on their own driveway and plug into their own charging station.
Chevrolet's promise is of an affordable electric vehicle with a range of about 380 kilometres – which is of course well within the range required for just about all of our daily needs, for ordinary commuters and soccer mums, that is – but sadly still not far enough to consider a drive from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore. One of the primary appeals of the Chevy Bolt, though, is the price, set to be around the US$33,000 mark. This will allow it to compete with the Tesla Model 3, the success of which undoubtedly spurred the development of the Bolt, after Elon Musk's gang proved that there really is a market of an EV with a real range.
Whether you like it or not, EV's will rule the future once we have worked out how we are going to generate all of the extra electricity we need to keep the darn things charged. Petrol power will remain the dominant force for the time being, though, but the Chevrolet Bolt will definitely be a game-changer for the automotive industry, and of course Chevrolet has one big advantage over Tesla – it has been at the automotive game for over a century and has an international dealer network that they can tap into.

A recent UK Government survey showed that almost half of working age adults.do not have the maths skills we need to be able be on top of the challenges of everyday life. We have developed a national culture that we are no good as a nation at maths and that's just how it is. So – does it matter?
Without good maths we struggle with much of what we are bombarded with in our lives. For example:
The impact of poor maths
- Difficulties understanding payslips
- Managing money in difficult times –e.g. coping with pay freezes and rising bills
- Getting into problems with loans especially pay day loans
- Understanding the statistics that politicians bombard us with so we can challenge them
- Converting from imperial to metric
- Converting to and from currencies – Euros, Rupees etc. into pounds sterling
- Managing redundancy payments
- Managing welfare benefits with changes in Universal Credit
- Understanding pensions
- DIY– buying too many tiles, too much paint and wallpaper etc.
What are the barriers?
- Making time to learn
- Fear of failure
- Time to access courses – shift patterns , caring responsibilities etc.
- Negative school experiences
What can you do?
Create a positive maths culture – far too many of us remember a bad experience of maths at school. Adult maths learning is a million miles away from those experiences – the focus is on developing maths skills in practical contexts.
Remind ourselves that we deal with maths all the time in our daily lives – it's just when we hit something we think we can't do that we think we are no good at maths!
Unionlearn have got bags of free resources to support ULRs and learners to be more maths confident.

Quick Maths Menus
Quick Maths Menus are a set of leaflets that look like takeaway menus but have easily digestible maths activities. The leaflets have been designed for union learning reps to use and have space to add contact details. –
These are on offer in the takeaway menus:
- Payday maths
- Computer bytes
- Energy Managing
- Time in life and work
- Medicines and maths
- Olympic legacy
- Plain Maths Cards
Little pocket sized cards to act as reminders about things like:
- The language of maths – divide, multiply, percentages etc.
- Averages – the mean, mode and median
- Measures, shapes and space
- Facing Up to Maths
If you are a ULR this is a really useful and practical booklet with case studies, activities and games for you to dip into so you can get your workmates interested in learning maths

Lesson Plan
Alive in Dyke Marsh
- Grade Level:
- Pre-Kindergarten-First Grade
- Subject:
- Biology: Animals, Biology: Plants
- Duration:
- 1 hour
- Group Size:
- Up to 24 (4-8 breakout groups)
- Setting:
- indoors or outdoors
- National/State Standards:
- District of Columbia (Science 1.4)
Maryland (Science 3A, 3D, 3F)
Virginia (Science K.6)
OverviewIt can be tough to figure out whether something is living or nonliving. A good definition of "life" has eluded biologists for millennia, and living things can look very different at different stages in their life cycles. Students will explore the characteristics of things that live in Dyke Marsh by describing mystery bag items.
There is no single definition of life that philosophers of science have agreed upon. In the absence of a definition most biology textbooks describe life: they list characteristics of living things, but these lists are all different. And, no matter which list you pick, natural history enthusiasts are always ready to point out a living or nonliving thing that the list puts in the wrong category.
Many lists of the characteristics of living things describe what a living thing would need to do to postpone entropy (Schrödinger, 1944). For example, life must be able to 1) use energy from some source to drive chemical reactions, 2) reproduce, and 3) undergo evolution (Jakosky, 1998).
Living things need parts to accomplish life processes like eating, reproducing, growing, and moving. These parts can be observed and identified as they change over time. It is important to observe while interfering as little as possible, so making observations in a living thing's home environment can be very helpful.
Life processes may follow a predictable history, or cycle, as living things invest different amounts of energy into different processes. Changes in conditions (e.g. seasons, weather, tides, the proximity of predators) force living things to change the amount of energy they invest in processes (e.g. eating, reproducing, growing, and moving) in order to maximize their chance to pass on their genes. Things that live in places with fast, dramatic, unpredictable changes tend to mature quickly, reproduce early, and spend less time caring for their young. Things that live in places with slow, minor, predictable changes tend to mature slowly, reproduce late, and spend more time caring for their young.
The parts of a living thing change as it moves through its life cycle. A living thing may look different during a period in which it invests more energy into eating than one in which it invests more energy into reproducing or moving.

Assessment Form
home : Assessment Form
Page Address:
www.lancsngfl.ac.uk index.php?page_no=&category_id=2&return=1;
For Lancashire maintained schools, all Assessment Forms, Assessment Frameworks and associated guidance, resources and materials are stored on the Schools' Portal. Please click on the A-Z on the Portal Home page, click on N and follow the links through to the Newly Qualified Teacher website.
Academies, Independent Schools or schools located geographically outside of Lancashire wishing to use Lancashire County Council as their Appropriate Body for NQT Induction should contact Kate Armstrong on 01257 516100 in the first instance.
Please note that, following the delegation of NQT funding to schools, the NQT steering group will now be charging £100 for each assessment form submitted. This will cover the costs of processing, free NQT attendance at termly training and some (limited) support for NQTs in difficulty.
Forms should be received by the last day of each term. Please ensure that they include:
Where forms are completed part way through a term, they should be sent to the office below within 10 days.
The form has been adapted for the new 2012 Teacher Standards. The previous form does not reflect these standards and is therefore invalid.
Any old-style forms received will be returned to the school for re-completion on the new form (see below). The office details are shown at the top of the form.
For NQTs considered to have successfully met the standards by the end of the induction year, please ensure this is reflected on the marks against each standard. An NQT who has successfully completed induction should not be marked as 'on track', as this implies that the standard has not been met.
An interim assessment is to be completed where NQTs are working part-time for a full term, e.g. for a full term at 2 days per week, and will be moving to another school. It may also be used where an NQT has worked in a school for more than a term and therefore has some 'bankable' days.
The form should be completed at the end of that employment period to provide information about progress, total number of days worked, etc. The fact that is is an interim form and which assessment period it counts towards should be clearly indicated using the checklist and box. A copy should be forwarded to the Steering Group.
The NQT should take this form on to their next school. Where the NQT is working in one or more other schools, for another full term part-time, days recorded on two or more forms can be aggregated to make a full term equivalent so that an 'end of period' assessment form can be completed. The length of the induction period for part time NQTs is the total number of days in the academic year of the school in which they first started induction; each 'end of period' form should be completed one-third of the way through this total number of days.
Download the current (September 2012) assessment form above; please ensure you use this and complete all sections.
Previously, there were separate forms for assessment periods, which had to be completed anew each time. There was also a separate form for third period 'pass' and third period 'fail' - i.e. five different forms.
This new version is a cumulative record for all periods, which can be adapted and added to throughout induction and should therefore save time. Please ensure that you alter the information as appropriate for the current assessment period so the Steering Group knows how much induction the NQT has completed.
We no longer require that all evidence for the judgement is recorded on the assessment form. Instead, the assessment form should be completed in conjuction with the NQT Assessment Framework (below) and evidence for judgements recorded there.
A few users have found that on opening the document their versions of Word default to the reviewing option. We apologise for any inconvenience this causes; unfortunately it is in the user's settings and cannot be prevented by ourselves. Information about how to turn this off can be found at http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/word-help/turn-track-changes-on-or-off-HA001218995.aspx
The Assessment Framework should be used as a cumulative document throughout induction and referred to during review and assessment meetings. Evidence for any judgements on the assessment form should be recorded in this document as it may be required in case of queries.

10 July 1915
ANZAC - Midshipman Henry Denham, HMS Agamemnon - On 10 July Denham was back in action aboard the Agamemnon bombarding Turkish positions at Gaba Tepe. The submarine precautions were now greatly increased but there is no doubt that everyone was kept on edge during the operation.
Photograph: 9.2 guns of Agamemnon: firing on Sedd el Bahr on 4 March 1915
..."We are to make a sortie to Gaba Tepe to bombard enemy positions. Before sailing we saw Aquitania arrive with 6,000 of Kitchener's army. At 10am, having furled nets, we weighed anchor and proceeded out of harbour at 15 knots escorted by two destroyers. We passed east of Imbros and at Kephalo we were met by eight destroyers and a dozen drifters, latter carrying a big, mesh wire net which they laid the seaward side of us when we got in position off Anzac, about 1.5 miles from us. Six destroyers then patrolled the shoreward side of us while the others kept a look-out for submarines to seaward with the drifters. An aeroplane went up to look out for submarines, but had to come down again owing to engine trouble. Manica's balloon could not spot for us on account of the wind. At 2.50pm we dropped a mark-buoy and sounded off Action: 1 had not even got inside the after turret when they fired a 6-inch at us 200 yards short in line with our stern, but 1 could not hear it richochet over us. We opened fire with the fore turret, firing one gun at a time at regular intervals. They continued firing at us with 5.9-inch and 14-inch shell and shrapnel. Foretop was too dangerous and was therefore abandoned, so firing was carried out in local control. Their firing was pretty accurate, at least shots were close to the ship, but as we were stationary they should have had more hits. At 3.30 the after turret opened fire range 10,000 yards and S3 later, local control. We could easily feel the bumps as they hit us, about ten times in all, four on armour. Worst hit was at 3.10 when 5.9-inch shell went through wardroom skylight hatch (a good ¼-inch steel) and burst in wardroom making four holes in the deck and even punctured deck in gunroom, besides wrecking wardroom again. Of the other hits, three were on the fore bridge and two in the ship's side forward. At 4.30pm ceased firing, having fired ninety-six l2-inch full charge, fifty 9.2-inch full charge. We observed ten hits very close to the right gun, which obviously must be knocked out, and five very close to left gun which must at any rate be temporarily knocked out. These are very likely two of Goeben's 5.9-inch guns. At 4.20 we proceeded at 15 knots again, and zig-zagging, were escorted by six destroyers as far as Kephalo, when we steadied on Mudros, escorted by two destroyers. At 6.00 we suddenly sighted and object making a wake like a submarine on the port bow about three cables off. Hat old Fluter up on the bridge at the run and was just going to alter course when it turned out to be the wash of a drifter's buoy. We arrived at Mudros at 8.15 p.m. and came to anchor, getting out our nets. Following signals were exchanged. To Agamemnon: 'Many thanks and congratulations for excellent shelling on Saturday. I am sure you did much material and moral damage which all here much appreciate. Birdwood. ' Reply from Capt. Fyler, Agamemnon: 'Your kind message is much appreciated. We are all very pleased to know we have been of service to you and your army, and hope we shall be given another opportunity of repeating it."

Strategies for Fostering Trust in the Workplace
One of the most important aspects of the Focus Marketing Events culture is that our people trust each other. They know they can rely on one another to deliver results. This is the outcome of our management team building an environment of trust and cohesion. Here are a few strategies that leaders can use to achieve similar success.
The most important aspect of fostering trust is getting to know each other. Professionals must spend time interacting in order to have positive experiences together. Give people opportunities to work together in the office. If they are working remotely, try to schedule some time for them to visit periodically. Additionally, plan events outside work, at which team members can connect on a social level.
Trust is best formed when people have intense experiences together. We achieve this for our Focus Marketing Events team members by trusting them to take on real challenges. When they have to work together to achieve success, trust is a natural outcome.
Finally, positive interactions are important to working together well. Of course, this is somewhat driven by the people involved. Leaders can help ensure more positive experiences by putting together team members who mesh well. They can also help with communication and setting clear goals. The more leaders do to remove possible pitfalls, the more likely team members are to trust each other.
These strategies will help leaders build environments of trust. To find out more about our culture, follow us on Linkedin

Politicians, elections and the internet
A general election is underway in the UK and Reporters Without Borders has warned the leaders of the Conservative and Labour Parties (Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn respectively) to respect the freedom of the press during their campaigns. Both leaders have demonstrated attitudes to the press that have been worrying and/or comical. May, who is notoriously awkward with reporters, has generally been avoiding journalistic interrogation, preferring instead to appear at tightly-scripted, stage-managed events; this has resulted in a series of strange incidents, including one early in the month where journalists were prevented from filming May and locked inside a room. Corbyn, who a London School of Economics study concluded has been the target of an unprecedented, prolonged campaign of "character assassination" by the (mostly) pro-Conservative UK press, has not behaved perfectly either. Although he has made himself more available to the media than May, BuzzFeed News reported that it was denied access to his campaign events after it exposed contradictions around the official Labour line regarding whether or not Corbyn would stay on as leader in the event of an election loss.
In terms of policy, the Conservative Party campaign manifesto contains some good and some potentially very bad news for free expression advocates. The good news was a welcome pledge to drop Section 40 of the Crime and Courts Act 2013 (which potentially threatened small publishers with crippling legal costs in event of a lawsuit) and which Index on Censorship has been vigorously campaigning against. The bad news was the ominous, vaguely worded announcement that a Conservative government would "regulate" the internet. One suggestion of how they might do this came after the horrific suicide attack in Manchester on 22 May, when ministers reportedly said that a Conservative government (if re-elected) would crack down on encrypted messaging apps; the practicalities of how this would work are not clear.
Germany is already one legislative step ahead of the UK in terms of "regulating" the internet. The recent Draft Bill on the Improvement of Enforcement of Rights in Social Networks has been rigorously analysed and protested by ARTICLE 19. In brief, the bill charges social networks with removing and blocking "violating content" but without "a determination of the legality of the content at issue by a court, and with no guidance … on respecting the right to freedom of expression." The obvious fear is that social networks will err on the side of excessive caution by blocking anything that might potentially offend.
In Ukraine, President Poroshenko issued a decree in mid-May banning Russian media and social networking sites from operating within Ukrainian borders. The move was actually an expansion of sanctions imposed in response to Russia's illegal annexation of the Crimean peninsula in 2014 (please see IFEX's summary of what the bans entails). The decree was protested by Human Rights Watch, the Committee to Protect Journalists, Reporters Without Borders, ARTICLE 19 and the Institute of Mass Information (IMI), all of which cited infringements of free expression and access to information. IMI reported that Poroshenko said he would review the ban when "Russian aggression against Ukraine [was] over."
Persistent offenders: Turkey, Azerbaijan, Russia
In Turkey, the persecution of independent voices continues: Reporters Without Borders protested the first jail sentence (18 months) handed out in the trial of those who took part in a solidarity campaign for the pro-Kurdish daily Özgür Gündem; PEN International raised concerns over a hunger strike by two Turkish academics against their post-coup dismissals; Bianet reported that the authorities raided the independent Belge Publishing House, seizing 2,000 books; Sozcu newspaper published a blank front page in protest at the detention of some of its staff.
IFEX members continue to devote resources to their Turkey work. At the end of the month, Reporters Without Borders joined forces with Parisian street artist C215 as he painted the portraits of ten imprisoned journalists across Paris' urban landscape, in a show of solidarity with all journalists jailed in Turkey.
Mid-month, PEN International, ARTICLE 19, the Committee to Protect Journalists, Human Rights Watch, the International Press Institute (IPI) and Reporters Without Borders publicly called on the UN Human Rights Council to address the "continuous deterioration of freedom of expression and other human rights" in Turkey. Days later, Cartoonists Rights Network International and Human Rights Watch urged EU leaders to "make rights an issue" when they met with President Erdogan in Brussels on 25 May. Donald Tusk, President of the European Council, announced that he did just that. A picture is worth a thousand words:
We discussed the need to cooperate . I put the question of human rights in the centre of our discussions with @RT_Erdogan. pic.twitter.com/HECdxEcS3P— Donald Tusk (@eucopresident) May 25, 2017
Uplifting news came on World Press Freedom Day (3 May), when Austria's Presseclub Concordia awarded the Concordia Prize to the approximately 150 jailed journalists in Turkey. The jury, of which IPI is a member, gave the prize money to a fund set up to support the journalists' families.
Azerbaijan's crackdown on independent journalists and activists showed no sign of abating. Of the many worrying cases of detention and/or abuse, one of the most distressing - as reported by the Institute for Reporters' Freedom and Safety - was the reported suicide in custody of the human rights activist Mehman Galandarov. Special rapporteurs of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe called on Azerbaijan to carry out an urgent investigation. Another high-profile case - that of the blogger and IFEX member Mehman Huseynov - was a focus of this year's World Press Freedom Day when over 30 rights groups (including many IFEX members) published a joint statement calling for his immediate release from prison. He is serving a two-year sentence on trumped up defamation charges.
As Freedom House declared in late April, there is no end in sight for human rights violations in Russia. During May, the persecution of LGBTQ+ individuals in Chechnya continued; Human Rights Watch launched an online campaign - #Chechnya100 - protesting the horrendous abuse. There were news reports that President Putin had tightened restrictions around street demonstrations (in anticipation of a mass protest planned for 12 June), and journalists continued to be beaten and worse: in late May, as the Committee to Protect Journalists and the European Federation of Journalists reported, Dmitry Popkov, chief editor of independent local newspaper Ton-M, was shot dead in Siberia; Popkov was well known for his exposure of corruption and is the second journalist to be murdered in Russia in 2017.
Good and bad news in brief: Kazakhstan, Hungary, Poland and the Balkans
On 14 May, Ramazan Yesergepov, chairman of Journalists in Trouble, was stabbed on a train while travelling to meet the Ambassador of Lithuania in Astana, Kazakhstan, in order to discuss the case of Zhanbolat Mamay. Mamay has been detained since February on highly dubious money-laundering charges. Yesergepov underwent emergency surgery following the stabbing. ARTICLE 19 has called for a full investigation of the attack, which it believes was politically-motivated. In a separate case, Adil Soz reported that the state employee who made a death threat to journalist Lukpan Akhmedyarov was fired after an investigation.
Hungary is coming under increasing international pressure over its recent repressive legislation targeting the Central European University (CEU) and foreign-funded non-governmental organisations (NGOs). This crackdown on independent organisations has been going on for some time and it looks as if most of Europe has had enough: in late April, Member of European Parliament (MEP) Guy Verhofstadt gave Prime Minister Orbán a severe, public dressing down which can be viewed here (not to be missed!); in early May, Nils Muižnieks, the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Council of Europe, officially called on Hungary to reject the NGO law; in mid-May, MEPs called for the triggering of Article 7 (which entails a formal warning given to the state in question, with possible sanctions and a suspension of voting rights to follow). Reporters Without Borders and Human Rights Watch had written to the European Parliament in April calling for action to be taken against Hungary. In public, Hungary is being defiant, and appears to have the support of Poland (which is itself in the spotlight for undermining rule of law and basic rights).
Rights organisations have been raising their concerns over threats to the independent press in the Balkans. Particularly worrying is Macedonia, where, Index on Censorship reports, 21 attacks on journalists have been registered since the start of 2016; the South European Network for Professionalization of Media (SEENPM) cited a study which said that the Macedonian authorities are attempting to control the press using generous funding arrangements or violence.
Impunity has long been an issue in the Balkans, and Canadian Journalists for Free Expression highlighted the case of journalist Dušan Miljuš (viciously beaten in 2008 and still waiting for justice) to protest the ongoing pattern of impunity in Croatia.

Anonymous oil portrait of Antonio Lucio Vivaldi, about age 45.
If ever there was a composer who met the definition of a virtuoso it was Antonio Lucio Vivaldi. His compositions are no doubt timeless musical works, and his technical skill with a violin was practically peerless.
Born in Venice, Italy, in 1678, Vivaldi was one of nine children. His father Giovanni was a professional violinist who recognized his son's talent for music.
According to some estimates, the young Vivaldi wasn't ten years old when he began studying the violin under his father's tutelage, touring with Giovanni as an accompanist in performances around Italy. Once he had mastered the instrument—which didn't take him long—Vivaldi began studying composition under the guidance of the Sovvegno dei musicisti di Santa Cecilia, an association of musicians cofounded by his father.
To be sure, Vivaldi excelled.
By the age of 13, he had completed one of his earliest works, a liturgical piece entitled Laetatus sum (1691). Even in the face of constant health problems (what historians believe to have been asthma), Vivaldi continued to compose, play violin, and study advanced playing techniques for the next two years.
Those who watched him perform marveled at his rapid yet emotionally evocative playing style. After attending one of Vivaldi's concerts, German architect Johann Friedrich Armand von Uffenbach noted how he "played a solo accompaniment excellently, and at the conclusion . . . added a [cadenza] which absolutely astounded me, for it is hardly possible that anyone has ever played, or ever will play, in such fashion."
A new calling?
Vivaldi seemed poised for great success; then, for reasons unclear to this day, he made a surprisingly dramatic decision. In 1693, the rising virtuoso suddenly shifted his focus to religion, entering the seminary to become a Catholic priest.
But officially ordained in 1703, Vivaldi's continually poor health prevented him from leading Mass. As a result, he returned to music, accepting a position as a violin instructor, or maestro di violino, at a church-run orphanage in Venice.
Here, in his spare time, he went on to write a series of memorable string compositions.
Vivaldi's duties were demanding. In addition to teaching the violin and writing music, he was in charge of the orphanage's well-respected orchestra, and he took it upon himself to compose many of the works that it performed.
Over a six-year period, he had written 60 sacred vocal compositions, cantatas, and concertos. Furthermore, his Opuses 1 and 2 saw publication in 1705 and 1709 respectively, followed in 1711 and 1714 by Opuses 3 and 4—all works dominated by stringed instruments.
Though best known for his string compositions, Vivaldi also wrote a fair number of operas. The majority of them, he composed as side jobs for various Italian theaters.
Between 1713 and 1715, he completed and produced three operas: Ottone in villa (1713), Orlando finto pazzo (1714), and perhaps his most successful production Nerone fatto Cesare (1715).
The following year he wrote and produced two more—La costanza trionfante degl'amori e de gl'odii and L'incoronazione di Dario (January 1717)—the former of which was so popular that it was performed for decades throughout Italy.
Groundbreaking work
Although he devoted much of his efforts to writing and producing operas, his greatest work brought him back to his first love, the violin. In 1723, Vivaldi put the finishing touches on a piece he called the Four Seasons.
Believed to have been inspired by his trips into the countryside of Mantua, this collection of four violin concertos was groundbreaking conceptually as well as musically. Indeed, it is among the earliest known examples of what would eventually be labeled program music.
Vivaldi devoted one concerto to every season, and, in doing so, he managed to recreate a highly sentient depiction of the visual, tactile, and auditory elements associated with each.
In Summer, for instance, he used not just tone but cadence and playing technique to simulate babbling brooks, songbirds, and thunderstorms. Likewise, the brisk runs so prominent in Winter instantly call to mind a heavy snowfall driven by a biting wind.
Few composers before or since have been capable of such musical feats. Ironically, this professional and artistic achievement marked the peak of Vivaldi's career.
In the coming years, he continued to write operas and compositions for strings. But gradually, interest in his work waned, what little money he had dried up, and his lifelong health problems progressively worsened.
In a last-ditch effort to jump-start his career, the once renowned maestro and virtuoso traveled to Vienna in 1741 in pursuit of patronage opportunities. He found none.
On the night of July 27 that same year, he died alone in a Viennese boardinghouse and was buried in a pauper's grave. He was 63.

Why high density is not always the best approach
Why high density is not always the best approach
Technological innovation is all about doing more with less. Computers – which used to take up an entire room and required multiple staff members to operate – now have many more capabilities than their predecessors and have been scaled down to the point where they can be easily carried to and from the coffee house.
Although this rule works well for much of technology's advancement, there is a limit to how much can be done in the data center with the area provided. High server density may allow for a more efficient use of space, but there are some major concerns that go along with it.
" Racks using between 8 kW and 15 kW are considered high density."
What is high density in the data center?
The problem with discussing this topic is that different facilities are going to have their own special definitions on what counts as a high-density rack. With this in mind, the Association for Computer Operations Management (AFCOM) decided to step in and create a solid metric to define the term. Racks using between 8 kW and 15 kW are considered high density, while those using 16 kW or more are defined as being extremely dense.
This is a great place to start in terms of narrowing down how many racks can be considered high density. This metric allows data center administrators the opportunity to track rack density through the use of power monitoring tools like those from Geist, thereby getting a more informed view of the current state of the facility.
Overheating and overloading are major concerns
The reason that high and extreme density racks need to be discovered has to do with the amount of power that these collectives consume. Putting more servers in a tighter group may enable a better use of data center area, but it also consolidates the flow of electricity to a singular space. This can cause many problems, starting with the risk of overloading the circuit.
Balance is a huge part of power distribution in the data center. Making sure machines are equally serviced not only works toward increasing energy efficiency, it also detracts from the possibility of a overworking the system. Specifically, too much power sent to a specific rack can end in a blown breaker. While the risk of downtime in such a situation is minimal if the facility has proper backup procedures, overloading the circuit is still a pain and might require some time-consuming intervention.
Another problem that high-density racks can cause is overheating. Much like overloading, this problem stems from a large amount of electricity being utilized by a small portion of the data center's overall area. However, the power itself isn't the problem here. Rather, it's the heat generated by the energy running through the servers.
Having a specific hotspot in the data center results in two outcomes: either the equipment overheats and fails or – more likely – the cooling system is forced to work harder. If the second scenario happens, officials can expect to see lowered energy efficiency due to increased cooling needs.
SMBs just can't handle the risk
Although these problems are apparent in data centers of any scale, small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are particularly unprepared for mitigating the risks caused by high-density racks. The main reason behind this could very well be connected with how small IT departments are in these kinds of companies.
The 2015 State of SMB IT Infrastructure Survey conducted by ActualTech Media discovered that SMBs often have extremely small IT teams. The study of 578 companies found that more than half had between 101 and 500 overall employees. However, a majority of respondents only had between one and four IT workers.
An overloaded circuit or an overheated server can cause serious downtime, and might require physical intervention from an employee. This study shows that if one of these events were to occur, an SMB's IT staff could easily be overwhelmed. Even a best-case scenario involving the successful mitigation of such a situation would require a small one- or two-person team to drop what they're doing in favor of fixing the problem at hand, pushing back internal goals and previous projects in favor of ensuring uptime.
High density in the data center may have some advantages, but the risks involved might be too much for many companies. Those organizations working with smaller IT departments should endeavor to steer clear of putting too many servers in a small space, as their team just may not be equipped to handle a failure.
