Proposals submitted to this program (including individual and collaborative proposals, GOALIs) must be submitted to the CHE Disciplinary Research Programs solicitation.
- RUI proposals should be submitted to the RUI Solicitation during the proposal submission window.
- proposals submitted in response to another solicitation (CAREER)
- conference proposals (must discuss with a Program Officer before submission)
- EAGER, RAPID or RAISE proposals (must discuss with a Program Officer before submission)
The Chemical Measurement and Imaging Program supports research focusing on chemically-relevant measurement science and imaging, targeting both improved understanding of new and existing methods and development of innovative approaches and instruments. Research areas include, but are not limited to sampling and separation science; electroanalytical chemistry; spectrometry; and frequency- and time-domain spectroscopy. Development of new chemical imaging and measurement tools probing chemical properties and processes is supported. Innovations enabling the monitoring and imaging of chemical and electronic processes across a wide range of time and length scales are also relevant. New approaches to data analysis and interpretation (including chemometrics) are encouraged. Proposals addressing established techniques must seek improved understanding and/or innovative approaches to substantially broaden applicability. Sensor-related proposals should address new approaches to chemical sensing, with prospects for broad utility and significant enhancement of current capabilities.
Submissions that address national needs are encouraged. Of particular interest are the priority areas associated with NSF's Ten Big Ideas. Elements particularly relevant to the Division of Chemistry include: Harnessing the Data Revolution, the Quantum Leap, Midscale Instrumentation, Understanding the Rules of Life, and Growing Convergence Research at NSF. Consult Chemistry's Dear Colleague Letter compilation for Division-specific guidance on how these areas match the Division's portfolio.
CMI also accepts proposals that include, but are not limited to new measurement and imaging approaches that improve on current separation science by requiring less energy or generating less waste, on understanding the brain and its functions, and on harnessing the power of chemical data.
Topics also considered by CMI include the development of new instrumentation enabling chemical measurements likely to be of wide interest and utility to the chemistry research community. These proposals should include the words "Instrument Development:" at the beginning of the title, and include, in the Project Description, consideration of a development timeline, potential utility, and prospects for the extension of the technique to other uses or fields, should it prove viable.
Industrial partnerships are encouraged through the Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry (GOALI) mechanism (https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/policydocs/pappg17_1/pappg_2.jsp#IIE4) as means enhancing use by the greater community, but concepts nearing commercialization are better fits to Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) or Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Programs.
Proposals integrating innovative computational approaches with CMI-relevant research, such as those enabling efficient and effective data acquisition and analysis, are encouraged and should be submitted to the CMI Program through the Computational and Data Science and Engineering (CDS&E) funding opportunity (https://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=504813).
The CMI Program does not encourage proposals addressing: the development of techniques for topological/morphological imaging; research based on known sensing mechanisms, such as probe synthesis or assembly of array-type devices; or engineering aspects of membrane separations, microfluidics, and/or "lab-on-a-chip" device design, technology, and application. Proposals on the design and synthesis of novel molecular probes for sensing or contrast agents may be more suitable for the CSDM-B Program. Proposals for optimizing and/or utilizing established methods for specific applications should be directed to programs focused on the application. Proposals addressing innovations with anticipated utility primarily in other communities (e.g., biology or materials) are also not encouraged. Proposals with large equipment requests (over $150,000) may be better suited to the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program.

OpenDrives Turns Workarounds into Workflows
OpenDrives Redefines the Meaning of Fast – Let's White Board It
The storyline in the storage industry over the past ten years has incorporated two major themes: distribution and scalability. As trends such as big data, data lakes, the cloud, and analytics have caught the attention of businesses and enterprises, vendors of storage solutions have responded with products geared toward the growth of data volume with storage vendors just answering with more capacity. What has gotten lost in the mix is performance: if a storage solution can scale to accommodate massive data sizes but can't allow users to access and work with that data quickly, then it quickly becomes counterproductive and obsolete. OpenDrives tackles the performance problem first, leading to fast and scalable storage solutions. Check out this video and let us know when we can impress you with a demo!

2 punctures and 1 fall
Today Dan and I set out for a long ride on the mountain bikes but we also wanted some technical sections to ride. We opted for Ullswater Single track and more. We parked at Sandwick and rode around Place Fell to Boredale Hause, this section was really good (I fell off), quite technical and quite quick. Dan got a puncture on the way down. From Boredale Hause we went along to Hartsop, rode up to Hayeswater (I got a puncture) and pushed up to Rampsgill Head (792m). From here we rode over High Raise (802m) and over onto High Street. We rode all the way along to The Cockpit and then turned and headed back down above the lake to Howtown and back over to the car at Sandwick. A great day, In fact the best days riding I've had in a long time!

Joseph – A Rasta Reggae Fable – Review by JOE JURGENSON – MIDNIGHT RAVER Blog – 4/2013Most Bob Marley books fit into one of the standard categories such as biographies, photography or songbooks. But fortunately one in particular that creates its own category is 'Joseph- A Rasta Reggae Fable.' As the title suggest it is a fable about Joseph, a "fictional" reggae musician from the Third World who rises up to worldwide fame only to ride off into the African sunset. Sound somewhat familiar?Written by the wonderful Barbara Makeda Blake Hannah and first published by Jamaica Media Productions Ltd. In 1991 this book has had three editions published to date. The first edition and second printing were both published by Jamaica Media Productions and each has its own beautiful artistic cover. Jamaica Media Productions has just published the third edition. It is now an easy book to find and one I highly suggest to all Marley lovers. After my first read, it instantly became one of my favorites. For those that know the Bob Marley story the fable will flow right along but Barbara will always throw in a few surprises for you. It's a happy ending and one I wish could have been a reality.

Top 11 cheap car with automatic transmission in Russia
Customers of available machines — they're also... people, and nothing human is alien to them. For example, not all of them are willing to drive empty as a pioneer drum subcompacta sedan and entertaining the idea of the low cost of acquisition. They want to see a particular set of options comfort and automatic transmission is thereby a boon to which you now strive even avid followers of the "mechanics", especially if we are talking about urban use. It remains to determine the price of dwuhvalentnoe. We have selected some of the models presented on the Russian market. Go!
Ravon R2 "air two" is a tiny hatchback A-class from Uzbek brand Ravon, which is a Chevrolet Spark of the previous generation. To us it comes only with automatic four-speed transmission and a 1.2-liter engine capacity of 85 HP is Provided in the initial configuration and frankly a little Comfort is expected. But the price to 469 thousand rubles that makes "baby" one of the most tempting "auto" proposals in the domestic market.
Ravon Nexia
Model R2 in a top version Elegant pull on 539 thousand rubles, but this is the territory of the larger "automatic" Nexia sedan Ravon, formerly known in Russia under the name Chevrolet Aveo. Unlike R2, it has automatic "restituo" (gasoline engine 1.5-liter 106 HP) from the average specifications Optimum. Price — low 549 thousand rubles, and the maximum stuffed Ravon will cost 579 thousand rubles.
Lada Granta
In the vast majority of cases, this automatic hydro-mechanical or robotic gearbox is a privilege not a basic version and a domestic Granta is no exception. A five-step "robot" can be ordered, starting with the performance of Classic, which follows after the initial Standard, only in combination with 16-valve engine volume of 1.6 liter capacity 106 HP Price question — from 484,6 thousand rubles. But that's not all: if the originality of the manner of the "robot" does not suit you, you can order the 98-strong modification, aggregated with four-speed "automatic". Here only one Comfort for 528,3 thousand rubles.
Brilliance H230
Chinese "cuties" with the hatchback and sedan are offered in fixed configurations. For 514,9 529,9 thousand and thousand respectively, you get electric Windows, air conditioning, audio system and even a sunroof. Partner a 1.5-liter engine (105 HP) is a five-speed robotized transmission.
FAW Oley
If in conjunction with uncontested petrol engine of 1.5 liter capacity of 102 HP is a four-stage "automatic", the price tag on a Chinese sedan — at least 575 thousand rubles. To complain about the paucity of equipment is unlikely to have the package included Comfort electric adjustable mirrors, front and rear electric Windows and even air conditioning. Can live.
the Lada Vesta
Vesta is already in the basic version Classic offers tired drivers are able to relax the left leg and they are unlikely to feel deprived — at the primary level, the car is quite well equipped. If in conjunction with a 106-horsepower shestnadcatiletnim is a five-speed robotic transmission, on a piece of paper under the windshield will show off the price tag from 604,9 thousand rubles. Sedan a more powerful engine with "one and eight" capacity of 122 HP can be ordered, since the format Comfort, and this is the minimum 657,9 thousand rubles.
Renault Logan
With Logan, the situation is quite interesting. A few years ago the company began offering in the domestic market version with two types of automated boxes. Performance 82-HP vosmiklapanny engine had a soul "robot" Easy'R with one clutch, and more powerful machines equipped with shestnadcatiletnim about 102 "horses", was a classic with the optional "automatic". Now, robotic car buyers seriously, and I took in the beginning of this year the Assembly of the modification was terminated. What's up to Logan with fluid mechanics, it is alive and well — a similar variation offered at least the "average" Active specification for 650 thousand rubles, while the model itself is from half a million rubles.
Volkswagen Polo
ticket to the world "Polukedy" opens basic and dreary as the rainy season performance Conceptline, in which there are no machines and there can not be. Hydromechanical "sethistory" available to order, starting from picking Comfortline. With a 90-horsepower engine capacity of 1.6 liters and manual car Kaluga Assembly will cost at least 649,9 thousand rubles, while the automatic transmission is compatible only with 110-HP version of the engine, raises the price to 739,9 thousand rubles. However, this is not the limit — advanced modification with a 1.4-liter "turboservice" is equipped with seven-speed DSG (double clutch "robot" with two clutches) and is at least 874,9 thousand rubles.
Nissan Almera
Sedan of the Russian Assembly with a four-speed automatic gearbox and the only possible 102-horsepower engine "one and six" requests from 756 thousand rubles. The base set includes front and rear power Windows, air conditioning, heated front seats and a trip computer, but the "music" will have to be bought separately, there is only audio preparation. Nissan, in which you can immediately listen to Pink Floyd, charged at the list price of 778 thousand rubles.
Kia Rio Hyundai Solaris
For dessert, a couple of "cousins" with Korean names and Russian registration, which demonstrate the rather impressive price tags on "automatic" modification.
St. Petersburg's Rio — the guy is progressive and with a price tag not to trifle. He has a six-speed automatic that is available, starting level of Comfort (from 784,9 thousand rubles). The motor in this case will be the 1.4-litre c a hundred "horses". Acceleration to 100 km/h is 12.9 s, that is, Kia is slightly inferior to, say, the 122-strong "West". Meanwhile, the "comfortable" Rio, armed with engine capacity of 1.6 liters (123 HP) doing a sprint to "hundreds" in 11.2, but it is worth while 809,9 thousand rubles. Don't know about you, but we do not dare to call this a budget machine.
"Cousin" Kia Rio which is also manufactured at the plant in the Northern capital, two pedal drive incarnation is slightly cheaper — at least 769,9 thousand rubles for the car with the engine "one and four", and to 794,9 thousand rubles for the modification with a 1.6-liter engine.

with the title heading "WOWEFA Story Submission"
READ THIS FIRST!!! This story, like all of the other stories written by us, is a fictional parody, we write these fictitious stories for fun and because we can. The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that parodies involving famous people are perfectly and totally legal under the United States Constitution (ruling occurred as a result of the case "Hustler Magazine, Inc et al vs. Jerry Falwell" in 1988).
Basically what we are saying THIS IS FICTON, it is not true, didn't happened and there's a good chance it won't ever happen!
Now... Kristi and Dice present:
NXT Rival Backstage Pass
by Kristi (firstname.lastname@example.com) and Frederick "Dice" Casden (firstname.lastname@example.com)
After defeating Bull Dempsey during NXT Rival on February 11, 2015, the big bad wolf of NXT known as Baron Corbin, wearing his long wrestling tights, is returning to the backstage area of the NXT Arena in order to head to the locker room. The often silent giant moves around The Lucha Dragons who are preparing for their upcoming match for the NXT Tag Team titles. As he gets closer to his destination, NXT's resident pixie princess Alexa Bliss, wearing a blue top and a shite skirt, skips towards him, "Hey Baron... that way past cool... how did you get Bull up for that spine buster? That guy is
huge..." Alexa says as she looks up at the NXT Superstar who is nearly two feet taller than she is.
Baron doesn't reply instead he looks down at Alexa with a look that easily conveys his response that he's bigger and badder than Bull Dempsey.
Alexa bites her bottom lip, "Oh... okay... never mind... but you did looked absolutely hot when you just sat down on that chair Bull was going to use after the match like beating him was no problem..."
Baron Corbin smirks a bit as a reply to the NXT pixie princess's statement.
Alexa smiles a bit, "And since you won... I was hoping I could the rest of the night more blissful for you..." Alexa says as she sways her hips a bit as she rocks from side to side on her feet.
The big bad wolf of NXT considers what Alexa has just said and then nods his head and motions towards the locker room door.
Alexa Bliss's smiles brightly, "I just bet the big bad wolf has a very big dick..." Alexa says as she moves to push the door to the locker room open and walks into it.
"You'll find out..." Baron says under his breath as he follows the pixie princess of NXT into the locker room and closes the door after entering. The imposing giant smirks as he sees that Alexa has removed her skirt and is in the process of removing her top, exposing her firm perky tits.
"I'm going to show you what really is bliss..." Alexa says cutely as she watches as Baron pushes down his tights, freeing his massive cock which is already semi-harden. The adorable blond haired Diva skips over towards Baron and drops down to her knees in one smooth motion. She then brings her small hands up to the silent giant's huge cock and starts to stroke it smoothly.
"Mmmm..." Baron moans lightly as Alexa moves both of her hands back and forth on his cock as it fully hardens within her gentle grasp.
"Wow... you're hung like a bull..." Alexa says with a grin as she admires Baron's massive tool as she grinds both of her palms against his shaft.
"Mmmm..." Baron groans a bit as Alexa Bliss moves her hands on his now large stiff dick.
The pixie princess of NXT licks her lips as she feels Baron Corbin's cock tense within her grasp as she opens her mouth and proceeds to take his dick between her lips. "Mmmmm..." Alexa moans as she wraps her lips softly around Baron's dick before she begins to bob her head.
"Ahhh..." Baron moans and places his hands on his waist as the blond haired NXT Diva rocks her head back and forth on his large tool while she positions both of her hands around the base of his dick.
"Mmmmm... ohhhh..." Alexa slides her tongue against the bottom side of Baron's large dick as she gently bobs her head while taking it further into her mouth.
"Ahhhh..." Baron Corbin groans as he watches the adorable NXT Diva lightly sucks and slurps on his cock.
"Mmmmm ohhhh..." Alexa Bliss moans as she turns her head from side to side, rubbing her lips on Baron's cock as she takes it further into her soothing mouth.
"Awww..." Baron closes his eyes as Alexa eases her head forward until the head of his huge dick is pressing against the back of her throat.
"Mmmm ahhh gah.. gahhh.. gah..." Alexa groans and gags cutely on the cock of the big bad wolf of NXT.
"Ahhh... mmm..." Baron Corbin moans as the Alexa Bliss deep throats his cock and holds it perfectly within talented mouth.
"Mmmm... mmmm..." NXT's pixie princess moans on Baron's huge dick as she looks up at Baron as she rubs her lips on his shaft.
"Ahhhh..." Baron groans as Alexa begins to pull her head back slowly, sliding her tongue against the underside of his shaft. When just the crown of his cock in her mouth, Alexa flicks her tongue cutely against it before she lets Baron's dick fall from her lips.
"Good thing I'm not a little pig... because I can't wait to let the big bad wolf in..." Alexa says with a smile as she turns away from Baron Corbin and positions herself on her hands and knees.
Baron smirks before he kneels behind the adorable Alexa where he grips his saliva coated tool with one hand and guides it towards her very tight and wet pussy.
"Mmmm... ohhhh huff and puff... and shove it on in!" Alexa moans as she feels the head of Baron's dick pushing against the entrance to her cunt.
Baron licks his lips and grabs Alexa Bliss's hips with both hands and jerks her backward while shoving his dick forward, impaling her twat with his massive cock.
"Ohhhhh FUCK! AHHHH!" Alexa gasps and moans loudly as Baron's plows his dick into her followed in quick order by him starting to pump it in and out of her snatch.
"Ahhhh... mmm..." Baron moans lightly as he firmly slams his dick into the petite NXT Diva's twat, causing her whole body to jolt forward.
"Ohhhh! Ohhhh! Ahhhh!" Alexa moans and tosses her blond haired head back as she feels every inch of Baron's huge dick ramming into her from behind.
"Ahhh..." Baron groans as he drives the full length of his shaft into Alexa's twat, while keeping a firm hold of her hips in order to jerk her backwards.
"Ohhh! Mmmmm fuck! Ohhhh shit!" The pixie princess moans lustfully as the big bad wolf of NXT pounds her pussy from behind with powerful thrusts.
"Ahhh..." Baron Corbin grunts as he deeply penetrates Alexa's pussy with every one of his thrusts.
"Mmmmm ahhhh ohhh so damn wonderful!" Alexa moans as she sits up high on her knees and places her hands on Baron's forearms as he causes her to bounce on her knees with each of his stiff thrusts.
"Awww... ahhh..." Baron groans as he moves his hands against Alexa's hips while he drives his cock repeatedly into her pussy.
"Ohhhh shit... ahhh fuck..." Alexa licks her teeth and looks back at Baron as she rocks on her knees, grinding her pussy on his massive thrusting tool.
"Mmmmm ahhh... Baron grunts as he starts to stand up while also lifting Alexa with his dick imbedded in her snatch.
"Ahhhh ohhhh fuck!" Alexa moans as she leans back against Baron while her feet are dangling as he holds her up and fucks her from behind.
"Ohhhh ahhh..." The largest member of the NXT Roster moans as he relentlessly drives his cock into Alexa's twat while shifting his hands from her hips to where he can cup the bottom side of her thighs and raise her legs up.
"Mmmmm ahhhh ohhhh!" Alexa Bliss moans as she leans against Baron's torso and bounces on his thrusting cock while easily holds her up.
"Ahhhh... ahhhh..." Baron grits his teeth as the pixie princess of NXT grinds her cunt on his pistoning dick each time she drops on it while he fucks her while standing.
"Ohhhh yes mmmm ahhhh..." Alexa licks her lips as she rides Baron's huge dick as he thrusts it repeatedly into her pussy while she rests against his sweat covered torso.
"Awwww ahhh..." Baron groans while he slams his dick into Alexa's pussy a few more times before he lifts the pixie princess off of his cock and carries her over towards the locker room table to sit her on it.
"Come on... give me that big cock..." Alexa says with a bright smile as she places her hands on the table's surface as she leans back and spreads her legs.
The big bad wolf of NXT nods his head and lines his cock up with Alexa's pussy before shoving it back into her pussy.
"Ohhhh fuck me! Mmmmm fuck!" Alexa Bliss moans with desire as Baron Corbin starts to hammer her cunt with stiff and deep thrusts.
"Ahhhh... mmmm..." Baron moans while he drives his cock deeper and harder into Alexa's snatch, causing her to rock on the table's surface.
"Ohhhh fuck ahhhh mmmm fuck!" The pixie princess cries out with desire as the big bad wolf pounds her pussy with powerful thrusts.
"Ahhh... ahhh..." Baron grits her teeth as he slams his whole cock into Alexa's twat as she bounces firmly on top of the table.
"Ohhhh mmmm ahhh ohhhh!" Alexa Bliss moans as she straightens her legs and holds them as she leans back on to her hands as Baron Corbin's huge is constantly being rammed into her snatch.
"Mmmmm ahhh..." Baron moans as he continues to slam his dick into pussy of NXT's adorable pixie princess.
"Ohhhh ohhh ahhh fuck ohhh shit!" Alexa moans and tosses her hair back as her pussy constricts on Baron Corbin's pistoning cock when she begins to cum.
"Ahhhh... ahhh..." NXT's big bad wolf groans as his cock starts to throb as he feels Alexa's twat squeezing his dick while her juices flow as a result of her climax.
"Ohhh mmmm ahhh... ohhhh..." Alexa Bliss licks her teeth as Baron continues to slam his cock into her soaking wet pussy.
"Mmmm ahhh... awww..." Baron grunts as he pulls his heavily throbbing dick out of Alexa's deeply fucked pussy. As the giant NXT superstar begins to stroke his massive tool, Alexa moves off the table and kneels on the floor in front of him with her mouth wide open, eagerly waiting for him to cum. The big bad wolf grits his teeth when his cock starts to erupt and he shoots thick wads of cum down onto Alexa's face and into her waiting mouth.
"Ahhhhh mmmmm..." Alexa moans as she feels Baron's spunk landing on her face and in her mouth for several long moments. Once Baron is spent, the pixie princess closes her mouth and swallows his cum that ended up in her oral orifice. With sweat and cum dripping down her face, Alexa smiles up at Baron before saying, "That was just blissful..."

After vanquishing Adrian Neville to become the number one contender for the NXT Championship, Finn Balor, wearing wrestling trunks while his chest, neck, face and back is covered with what remains of his demonic war paint, has returned to backstage area of the NXT Arena and heads for the interview area to clear his head and to savor his victory. With no one around, Finn leans against the wall, tilts his head back and sighs, "That was tougher than anticipated..." Finn says while Devin Taylor, wearing a low cut purple dress, approaches him.
"Um hey Finn... I thought all the interviews were going to be done after the show..." Devin says with a bit of confusion.
Finn opens his eyes and looks at Devin, "As far as I know, we are, just came here to clear my head..."
"Oh..." Devin smiles and nods her head, "Must've been really something to be pushed to the limit like that...the exhilaration must be epic... "
"That's one way to put it..." Finn replies.
"It seems to be it's like sex... you give your all and the payoff... is just wow..." Devin says with a smile.
The demonic war paint covered Irish wrestler smirks a bit, "That's... an interesting comparison..."
Devin steps closer to Finn, "Well... I've been around NXT for so long that I've put two and two together to realize the obvious... a match like you just had is almost as good as sex..."
"Almost?" Finn asks.
"Yeah... almost... cause nothing quite equals me getting fucked by a guy who just tour the house down..." Devin Taylor replies.
Finn Balor smirks, "Something tells me that just coming over here was a good thing..."
"Whatever is giving you that idea?" Devin asks the Irish hunk as she places her left hand on his trunks covered crotch before licking her lips.
"I think it's pretty obvious..."
"Then... I am getting an idea then..." Devin says as she proceeds to kneel in front of the new number one contender for the NXT Championship and takes hold of the waistband of his trunks. Very slowly, Devin pulls down Finn Balor's sweat dampened wrestling trunks from his waist, freeing his very long and thick cock. Licking her teeth, Devin lowers Finn's trunks to his boots covered feet and waits for him to step out of them. The gorgeous brunette places her hands on Finn's cock and begins to stroke his tool as it hardens.
"Mmmmm..." Finn moans as the beautiful backstage interview uses both hands to stroke his large dick.
"I see you like my idea..." Devin grins as she looks up the war paint covered Superstar as she strokes his dick steadily. She then leans her head forward and laps her tongue against the crown of Finn's stiff cock.
"Ahhhh... mmm..." Finn groans as he watches Devin lapping her tongue against the head of his dick while she uses both hands to jerk his meat.
"Mmmm... mmm..." Devin moans as she slides her tongue around the head of Finn's cock in a clockwise motion while she keeps looking up at him.
"Ahhhhh..." Finn Balor licks his teeth as Devin Taylor opens her mouth and takes his cock in followed by wrapping her lips around his shaft.
"Mmmm... mmmm.... ohhh..." Devin moans gently on the huge Irish cock that is between her lips as she starts to bob her head while keeping both hands moving on it.
"Awww... ahhh..." Finn groans as Devin bobs her head on the upper portion of his dick while she strokes the lower half with both hands.
"Mmmm... ohhh.." Devin moans as she tilts her head bit, rubbing her lips on Finn's dick as she removes one hand from his cock and positions the other at the base so that she can take more of Finn's cock into her mouth.
"Ahhhh... mmmm..." Finn moans and smirks as he pushes some of Devin's hair back to keep her face uncovered as she watches her suck on his large dick while her saliva drips from his shaft.
"Mmmm ohhh..." Devin Taylor moans as she licks the bottom side of Finn's cock each time she pulls her head back.
"Ahhhh mmmm ahhh..." Finn Balor drags his tongue against his teeth as Devin sucks and slurps on his dick.
"Ohhhh... mmmm..." Devin groans on Finn's cock as she lowers her head nearly all the way down on his cock and holds it there for a few moments before she starts lift her head from his cock.
"You have a dirty mind..." The war painted covered wrestler says with a smirk as Devin spits some saliva on his dick before she stands up and lifts up the bottom of her dress and proceeds to lift it up over her head, revealing her smoothly shaven pussy, juicy ass and big firm tits.
Devin drops her dress on the floor of the interview area and grins, "This is a dirty business..." Devin says as Finn places her hands on her waist and proceeds to lift her up and lower her pussy onto his stiff saliva coated cock.
"Mmmmmm yes it is..." Finn replies as he waits for Devin to wrap her legs around his waist while she places her hands on his sweat and paint covered chest.
"Ohhhh... fuck..." Devin moans as Finn begins to pump his cock in and out of her snatch, causing her to bounce lightly on his dick.
"Ahhh... awww..." The new number one contender groans as he steadily increases his pace as he plows his cock into Devin's tight pussy.
"Ohhhh ahh... mmm..." Devin moans and tilts her head back as Finn rams his cock into her pussy as he holds her up at the same time she is sliding her hands against his sweaty paint covered chest.
"Awww... mmmm ahhh..." Finn groans as Devin begins to rock herself slightly, grinding her pussy against his pistoning cock as he pushes it fully into her with each thrust.
"Ohhhh ahhh mmmm fuck..." Devin Taylor moans as the hung Irish stud pounds her pussy while remarkably holding her up as he moves his hands to where grab her ass cheeks.
"Ahhh... ahhhh..." Finn grunts as he drives his cock balls deep into Devin's moist pussy while he gropes her backside.
"Ohhhh... ahhh ohhh fuck Finn... mmm..." Devin moans and tilts her head back as Finn squeezes her ass cheeks each time he thrusts his cock sharply into her cunt.
"Awww... mmmm..." Finn groans as he pumps his cock deeply into Devin's snatch at a decreasing pace before coming to a stop so that he can lift the backstage interviewer off of his dick and lower her to floor.
"Hope you plan on continuing..." Devin says with a grin as she turns around and gets on all fours.
"I'm not close to stopping..." Finn says as he kneels behind the beautiful brunette so that he and push his long fat shaft back into her moist snug twat.
"Ohhhhh... mmm fuck..." Devin moans as she pushes back against Finn before he begins to pump his cock in and out of her cunt.
"Ahhh... awww..." Finn groans and places his hands on Devin's lower back as he plunges his dick firmly into her pussy.
"Ohhh yes... mmmm fuck..." Devin moans and tosses her hair back as she feels every inch of Finn Balor's huge cock driving into her twat.
"Ahhh... awwww ahhh..." The internationally distinguished grappler groans as he slides his hands against Devin's back while he pumps his cock in and out of her snatch.
"Ohhhh yes... mmm ahhh..." Devin Taylor moans as she feels Finn Balor pumping his cock balls deep into her cunt with each one of his firm thrusts.
"Mmmm ahhh... awww..." Finn groans as he shows how relentless his can be as he rams his cock into Devin's pussy with his balls slapping against her skin with every thrusts.
"Ohhhh... fuck... ahhh yes... mmmm..." Devin licks her lips as she turns her head to look back at the war paint and sweat covered stud that is hammering her soaking wet pussy with his muscular waist colliding repeatedly against her ass.
"Ahhhh... aww... mmmm..." Finn Balor grits his teeth while he rams his cock repeatedly into Devin's soaking wet pussy.
"Mmmmm fuck...I want your dick in my ass...ohhhh I want it my ass..." Devin moans as she bucks back against Finn's pistoning cock.
"Ahhhh... I have no issue with that..." Finn smirks as he slows down his thrusts before pulling out of Devin's ass. As Devin sits up on her knees, Finn stands up and goes to grab a metal folding chair that is kept by the standing camera used to film interviews for the NXT broadcasts. Finn places the metal folding chair next to Devin ands sits down on it.
"Smart..." Devin says as she pulls herself up to sit on Finn's lap as he holds his large cock steady with his right hand. The beautiful brunette uses both hands to spread her ass cheeks while Finn uses his free hand to help line up her asshole with the head of his cock.
"Ahhh..." Finn groans as he pushes his cock up into Devin's asshole as she starts to lower herself onto his dick.
"Mmmmmm shit... ohhh fuck..." Devin moans as her ass is being invaded by the big Irish dick of the number one contender for the NXT Championship.
"Awww... ahhhh..." Finn Balor moans as he places his both hands on Devin's hips and starts to lift her up and down on his cock that is wedged into her ass.
"Ohhhh fuck.. ahhh shit... ohhh..." Devin moans as she places her hands on Finn's knees as she bounces on the impressive meat stick that is inside of for anal cavity.
"Mmmmm awww ahhh..." The war painted NXT Superstar groans as Devin controls how she is bouncing on his long thick cock while allows him to start driving it up into her backside.
"Ohhhh fuck ahhh yes... ohhhh..." Devin flips her hair back as Finn shoves his cock firmly up into her asshole as she rises and drops on his pistoning shaft at an eager pace.
"Ahhh... ahhh... awww..." Finn groans as he feels Devin's ass cheeks smacking down against his waist and thighs each time she lowers herself on his rock hard and upward thrusting cock.
"Ohhhh ohhh fuck my ass... fuck my ass ohhh mmmm!" Devin cries out with desire as she each one of Finn's intense thrusts causes her to push herself to bounce harder and faster.
"Ahhh awww mmmmm.." Finn Balor grits his teeth as he wraps one arm around Devin's waist as he stands up from the folding chair. Finn forces Devin to bend at the waist as he slams his entire cock into her anal cavity.
"Ohhhh ahhh fuck ohhh yes!" Devin screams as Finn brutally fucks her asshole with huge cock, causing her to take a step forward with every thrust only for him to pull her back.
"Awww ahhh shit ahhh..." Finn groans as he roughly drives every inch of his fat dick into Devin's rear end.
"Ohhhh ahh mmmm yes ohhh..." Devin moans and lets her head hang down as the Irish hunk behind her drives his cock balls deep into her asshole.
"Ahhh... ahhhh... awww..." Finn grinds his teeth as his stiff cock begins to throb as he plows it over and over against into the depths of Devin Taylor's anal cavity.
"Ohhh mmmm fuck ahhh ohhh..." Devin groans lustfully as Finn's fantastically paced and firm thrusts starts to become erratic while his dick pulses within her ass.
"Mmmm ahhhh... aww. ohhhh..." Finn grunts as he delivers several stiff thrusts into Devin's asshole before jerking his dick out of her backside.
Devin licks her lips as she turns around and squats down in front of Finn Balor and places her hands on his waist as he starts to stroke his cock. The backstage interview opens her mouth and sticks out her tongue, pressing it against the bottom of the crown with the tip of his tool just within her mouth.
"Ohhhh ahhh..." Finn groans as he rapidly strokes his dick until he starts to cum, and he shoots streams of cum directly into Devin's mouth.
"Mmmmm... mmmm..." Devin moans as Finn floods her mouth with his warm spunk for several moments. Once Finn is spent, Devin swallows his cum and then licks her lips, "That was so much better than just watching you wrestle a great match..."
* * *
Following her victory in the fatal four-way match to become the new NXT Women's Champion, Sasha Banks, wearing a top and wrestling bottoms that are purple with gold trim, has returned to the backstage area of the NXT Arena. "The Boss has got what's hers..." Sasha says smugly as she stops walking to admire the silver faceplate of her newly won championship. "And The Boss is not going to let you go as easily as Charlotte did, they will have to make me hand it over..." Sasha smirks as she is approached by the reigning NXT Tag Team Champions Buddy Murphy and Wesley Blake, both still
wearing their matching white and black wrestling tights with their NXT Tag Team titles around their waists.
"Oi, congrats on taking to belt..." Murphy says.
"Yeah, would suck if we were the only people to win championships to start off 2015..." Blake says as he pats the faceplate of his NXT Championship belt.
Sasha looks at Blake and Murphy before she smirks, "Listen up cause The Boss is going to say this once...if Charlotte didn't cheat at (R) Evolution and on Christmas Night... then The Boss would've been entering this year as the Women's Champion... but you know what, The Boss is in the mood to celebrate and since you two are called Team Thick, The Boss wants to know if the 'thick' applies to what is in your tights..."
Blake grins, "If you're asking what I think you're asking, then yeah it does..."
Murphy smirks, "And if a Stunning Sheila like you wants to celebrate, we're just the guys to do it with..."
Sasha Banks licks her lips, "Perfect... cause what The Boss wants... the Boss gets..."
* * *
A short while later in the Diva's locker room, Sasha Banks is on her knees in front of Wesley Blake and is bobbing her head on his fat Texan cock while behind her, Buddy Murphy is pushing his thick Australian dick into her tight and wet pussy. "Mmmmm... mmmm..." Sasha moans as she rocks her head back and forth on Blake's dick as she places her hands on his waist while Murphy starts to fuck her from behind.
"Awww... ahhh..." Blake groans as Sasha rubs her lips against his fat cock as she bobs her head smoothly on it.
"Awww... ahhhh..." Murphy groans as he thrusts his cock firmly into Sasha's pussy, pushing his meaty tool deeply into her twat.
"Ohhhh mmmm..." Sasha moans on Blake's dick as she takes it further into her mouth while Murphy grabs her hips and pulls her backward while he pumps his dick into her pussy.
"Mmmmm fuck... ahhh..." Blake licks his teeth as Sasha slides her tongue against the bottom side of his fat pole as she bobs her head.
"Awww... ahhhh..." Murphy grunts as he drives his meat stick repeatedly into Sasha's pussy while his waist collides against her juicy ass cheeks.
"Mmmmm... ohhhh..." Sasha moans as she pushes back against Murphy's pistoning cock as he pounds her pussy as she slobbers all over Blake's dick as deep throats it.
"Ohhh damn..." Blake moans as he feels the back of Sasha's throat against the crown of his cock as she holds his dick within her mouth without any sign of gagging.
"Ahhhh ahhhhh..." Murphy groans as he slams his cock more aggressively into Sasha Bank's wet pussy, causing her to rock forward.
"Ohhhhh mmmm ahhhh..." Sasha groans lustfully on Blake's cock as she grinds her nose against his crotch with his dick fully within her oral cavity as his tag team partner is holding onto her waist and firmly pounding her cunt from behind.
"Ahhhh... fuck..." Blake moans as Sasha Banks slaps her tongue against the bottom side of his cock before she begins to lift her head from his dick.
"Awww... awwww..." Murphy grunts while he slams his cock balls deep into Sasha's snug moist pussy.
"Ohhhh ahhh fuck... ahhhh yes..." The new NXT Women's Champion moans as she bucks forward following each of Murphy's thrusts.
"Ahhhh mmmm yeah ahhh..." Murphy moans as he drives his Australian dick repeatedly into Sasha's pussy.
"Ohhhh mmmm fuck.. ahhh..." Sasha and tosses her red hair back as she licks her lips as Murphy delivers several more thrusts into her cunt before he pulls out. The self-proclaimed Boss turns on her knees so that she's facing Murphy with Blake behind her. The new NXT Women's Champion eagerly takes Murphy's tool into her mouth while Blake squats behind her and stuffs his cock into her cunt.
"Ohhhhh ahhh..." Murphy moans as Sasha wraps her lips around his dick and begins to bob her head.
"Mmmmm yeah..." Blake groans as he starts to rapidly thrust his fat dick in and out of Sasha Banks's pussy while he places his hands on her shoulders.
"Ohhhh mmmmm mmmm..." Sasha moans as she pushes back against Blake as she lustfully bobs her head on Murphy's dick.
"Ohhhh yeah ahhh..." Murphy moans as Sasha slides her tongue against his meaty dick as she bobs her head at a swift pace.
"Ahhhh... ahhhh..." Blake grits his teeth as he moves his hips back and forth as he drives the full length of his fat shaft into Sasha's pussy.
"Mmmmmm mmmm ahhh..." Sasha moans as she easily deep throats the thick shaft of Buddy Murphy while Wesley Blake is pounding her cunt with stiff thrusts.
"Ahhhh awww..." Murphy groans as Sasha tilts her head from side to side, grinding her lips on his dick.
"Ohhhh ahhh awww...' Blake grunts while he slams the full length of his cock into Sasha's pussy as she moves between himself and Murphy.
"Mmmmm.. ohhhh..." The Boss groans as she rocks on her knees between the NXT Tag Team Champions, taking one cock deep into her mouth while another is being driven into her cunt.
"Ahhhh awww..." Murphy moans as Sasha sucks and slurps on his cock before he begins to extract his tool from between her lips.
"Ohhhh ahhh awww..." Blake grunts as he drives his cock sharply into Sasha's twat as she pushes back against him.
"Mmmmmm shit... yeah that's what The Boss wants!" Sasha groans lustfully as Blake rams his fat Texan cock into her cunt while Murphy has moved to sit on the small locker room sofa.
"Ahhhh awww... ahhhh..." Blake clenches his teeth while he drills Sasha's pussy with a few more deep thrusts before pulling out of her.
"Mmmm yeah.... you two are certainly fucking thick, just how The Boss likes it..." Sasha says before she moves to crawl up onto Murphy's lap and lowers her pussy down onto his cock.
"Ohhhhh ahhh..." Buddy Murphy moans as he places his hands on Sasha's tits and begins to grope them as the new Women's Champion starts to bounce on his cock.
"Ahhh ohhhh fuck yeah... mmmm..." Sasha moans as she tilts her head back as Buddy plays her with juicy breast as she rises and drops on his stiff cock.
"Ahhh... awww..." Murphy moans as Sasha grinds her pussy down on his thick Australian dick as he starts to thrust it up into her twat.
"Mmmmm shit... ahhhh ohhhh..." Sasha licks her lips as she passionately rides Murphy's thrusting dick while Wesley Blake positions himself behind her. The new NXT Women's Champion looks back at the Texan as he spreads her ass cheeks apart and starts to force his cock into her round brown ass. "Ohhhhh fuck..." Sasha groans as Blake invades her backside with his dick.
"Mmmmm awww..." Blake groans as he holds Sasha's rear cheeks apart as he start to thrust his cock in and out of her asshole.
"Ohhhhh ahhh..." Murphy moans as he steadily thrusts his dick upward into Sasha's pussy.
"Ahhhh yes ohhhh fuck mmmm two big fat dicks in The Boss!" Sasha moans as she moves between the reigning NXT Tag Team Champions.
"Ahhhh... ahhh..." Blake grunts as he shoves his cock further into Sasha's asshole with each of his thrusts.
"Mmmm ohhhh..." Murphy moans as he continues to drives his dick up into Sasha's pussy.
"Ohhhh ahhhh mmmm fuck ohhhh!" Sasha licks her lips while her body drips with sweat as Blake and Murphy tag team her on the couch of he NXT Divas locker room.
"Ahhhhh ahhhh..." Blake groans as he holds Sasha's backside cheeks apart as he drives his cock balls deep into her anal cavity.
"Ohhhh ahhhhh fuck..." Murphy moans as he keeps feeling up Sasha's tits at the same time she is grinding her twat on his meat stick.
"Mmmmm fuck yeah ohhh fuck The Boss with those huge thick dicks!" Sasha Banks moans lustfully as she wildly moves between Blake and Murphy as their slam their cocks into her.
"Ahhhh ahhh... mmmm awww..." Blake licks his teeth as he slams his fat Texan dick repeatedly into Sasha's asshole.
"Ohhhh ahhhh..." Murphy moans while he firmly rams his thick Australian tool up into Sasha's wet pussy.
"Ahhhh ohhhh yes ohhh fuck... mmm fuck..." Sasha tilts her head back as her pussy tightens around Murphy's pistoning cock once she starts to cum.
"Mmmm yeah ahhh..." Buddy Murphy moans as he feels Sasha's pussy squeezing his dick as her juices flow over his now throbbing dick.
"Ohhhh ahhhh..." Wesley Blake groans while his dick starts to pulsate heavily as he continues to forcefully drive it into Sasha Banks's juicy round and brown ass.
"Mmmm yeah... ohhh yeah... keep fucking me...The Boss wants your cum..." The NXT Women's Champion groans as she feels the thrusts of the NXT Tag Team Champions becoming unsteady as the throbbing of their dicks increases in intensity.
"Ahhh ahhhh ohhh..." Murphy moans as his cock starts to erupt within Sasha's soaking wet pussy, shooting his spunk inside of her twat.
"Ohhhh ahhh damn ahhh..." Blake grunts as he drives his cock fully into Sasha's ass before he starts to cum, shooting his jizz into the depths of the Women's Champion's asshole.
"Mmmmm fuck... ahhh..." Sasha Banks moans and licks her lips as she feels the cum of Blake and Murphy spraying into her ass and pussy for several moments. Once the two of them are spent, Sasha look rocks lightly between the Tag Team Champions of NXT and smirks, "You two better keep those titles... cause the Boss is gonna want something think every night..."

This past weekend was a blueberry weekend. By that, I mean that I used a fair amount of blueberries. Ok–I used blueberries in 2 things, but they were DELICIOUS things.
My first experiment was to make Ina Garten's (or the 'Barefoot Contessa"s) Blueberry Crumb Cake–which is basically a streusel cake. Streusel is a crumb topping of butter, flour, and sugar, and in this case–some cinnamon and nutmeg too.
First things first–the blueberries. Now, I had read somewhere that if you flour the blueberries before putting them in the batter, they won't sink to the bottom of the cake. I floured the blueberries. THEY SUNK. So, with some further thought, next time I make this cake I'm going to set aside the blueberries, put 2/3 of the batter in the cake pan, sprinkle in the blueberries, and then top with the remaining batter…and then the streusel, as per the recipe instructions. With this recipe, I used 3 regular sized eggs instead of the 2 extra-large eggs, and I didn't have any brown sugar, so I used Demerara sugar. This may have made the streusel a little more crunchy than it should have been, but nonetheless tasty.
Blueberry experiment number 2: I made some homemade baby food for my son. I made it using an apple, a banana, and the leftover blueberries from the punnet I used for the cake recipe. My kid LOVED it. It was great on its own, or mixed with some baby rice for a 'breakfast'-y alternative.
So–2 great ways to use 1 punnet of blueberries!
How do you like to use your blueberries?
Any great recipes you'd like to share?

Whether they are enrolled in casual lessons or serious competitions, people of all ages are discovering the fun of ballroom dancing. Media exposure such as this recent Boston Globe article, paired with popular TV shows including "Dancing with the Stars" and "So You Think You Can Dance," has refocused public attention on formal dancing as a hot trend—and one that's not going away any time soon.
Ballroom dance lessons are the perfect gift idea for many occasions. For one thing, it's become popular to give gifts of experience rather than material items that create a lot of clutter. Dance lessons are a versatile gift because a single friend, a couple, and even a group can take lessons together. As a gift idea, ballroom dancing lessons are not only fun, but also great exercise for anyone, and, as the above-mentioned article points out, good therapy for aging baby boomers.
Ballroom dance lessons make an ideal:
- Birthday gift for anyone. Buy them something they wouldn't buy for themselves
- Anniversary gift for your spouse or significant other. Spark some romance with a special activity for just the two of you
- Anniversary gift for your parents or friends. Give a thoughtful and fun present to that special couple who wants some time to focus on one another.
- Gift for an engaged couple or other family members in preparation for their wedding. It's always fun to watch a choreographed first dance, and others in the wedding party are more likely to participate if they feel confident in their dancing skills.
Ballroom dance lessons are a great way to meet new people and to socialize. Forget hanging out in bars or clubs waiting to meet the right person. Encourage any singles (and couples) that you know to get out there and make new friends. For some private lessons, you can even bring a group of up to four people.
We offer convenient gift certificates for everyone on your list. Give us a call at 732-617-2442 or stop by the dance studio if you're in the area, or contact us online today.

In our last workshop on 'Bloom's Taxonomy and Testing', I wanted to focus on critical thinking, comprehension questions, and types of activities we usually give our students in their formal exams.
In each step of the workshop presentation, a point related to teachers' constraints is raised. Some of the constraints, according to some teachers, are related to students' limitations, low level of proficiency and lack of motivation to learning. 'Students are perceived to have numerous problems along with limited abilities, motivation, and/or future prospects'. (Climates of Constraints/restraints on teachers and teaching by Catherine Cornbleth). They think that 'students are to be offered 'basics' and drills, but are not considered 'ready' for more meaningful learning and critical thinking'.
Then, throughout the many teachers' constraints reported during the workshop, I came up with the idea that the crucial constraint is the curriculum coverage. In other words, because the curriculum coverage is the main objective of the Ministry of Education, there is a need for accountability to do it and provide evidence of outcomes. There is even a mandated yearly planning telling teaching what to teach and when to teach without caring of the students' ability and motivation, and without caring of the teachers' lack of training, time and material. This pushes teachers to move from one unit to another in ways that compromise real learning, as a result, students do not acquire the target competencies we are expecting in the exit profile. A teacher clearly said that there a need for freedom in teaching instead of 'emphasizing on formal learning and teacher-directed activities with already defined intentions'. This idea is also reported in the article: 'Climates of Constraints/Restraints of Teachers and Teaching' by Catherine Cornbelth when she quoted Jack Nelson and Anna Ochoa from 'Freedom to Teach is Freedom to Learn', "The challenge that …while assuring that individual rights of parents, teachers and students to their own beliefs and practices are not abrogated"(1987, p426).
Administrators, teachers, parents and students are obsessed by the curriculum coverage to feel ready for the formal exam. Behind the curriculum coverage, principals want to generate good test scores, both for students and the school's ranking in locally and nationally. The pressure put upon teachers from the whole society to cover the curriculum and get good scores make them live in a climate of frustration and hindrance since their performance is associated with students' levels of attainment. Catherine Cornbelth reported in her article, "Students, teachers, administrators, schools and districts may come to be judged as more or less meritorious or desirable depending on their ranking in local, state, or national comparisons". How can they think of teaching critical thinking skills in a climate of curriculum coverage associated with good test scores constraints? Michele D. Crockett said in the book 'Reflective Teaching and Social Conditions of Schooling', "…instead of teaching them critical thinking skills that provide a foundation from which to further their intellectual discovery and enhance their cognitive ability for the rest of their life."
I would end saying, learning should not be compromised to get through the entire curriculum for the purpose to get students ready for the official exam. More freedom is to be given to teachers to adjust their teaching to the students' learning style, abilities and interests. Teachers' initiatives are to be encouraged to teach critical thinking skills that 21st century students are to be equipped with. Stakeholders and decision makers in education are to change if they want to see the change we are all seeking…

Please, send you comment to email@example.com
Mezough:Dear Sir,
Thank you so much for such an amazing article that enhances critical thinking and at the same time makes me feel relieved for my future teaching.
dear sirAfter having read this article I could understand clearly that we all need be to critical thinkers first then try to tansmit it to our students. honestly i have tried tried to be so and even i have started to show my students how important critical thinking is in life in general. i am following some tutorial on that every dayLalibi souheir :Thank you so much for your amazing article . in deed , we should really th ink about us ing critical thinking in our teach ing. Thanks so much MR LouznadjiSouad:That's an excellent call! Yes, we have to care more 21st skills and filling our students' mind with content sometimes they don't need at all. I do agree with you Sir. I often feel rediculous with some lessons we have to teach, but...Said Sayoud:I see eye to eye with you Mustapha. I guess that teachers should be given more freedom in implementing the different syllabi under the guidance of their supervisors who in turn should also take into account the specifities of the group of teachers they are collaborating with and the cognitive abilities and backgrounds of their learners. Actually, the different curricula should not be designed in a top-bottom manner. The suggestions would better come from teachers and practioneers so that any educational project would have more efficiency and sudsequently this would reach much more success. This remains of course just a modest point of view.Amina:Classic! I like your idea of raising awareness, but teachers have to do efforts if they want to change things. Let's raise teachers' awareness first before stakeholders.H I BADSI:At last,I feel that I have a feedback for the critics and suggestions I have already made during the different seminars we had.Teaching a foreign language should not stuck to a syllabus designed by an official board,but in fact it concerns the pupils'needs,ie to respond to real life motivations.Anonymous:They never take our opinions into consideration when implementing the syllabus;it's high time teachers took part in decisions concerning the pupil's needs; which have a connection with real situations in order to form a good generation ready to face new challengesMohammed:Easy said than done Mr Louznadji. Do you really think that this is the panacea to all our educational problems in teaching a language? This is just the tip of the iceberg. Yes, that might be one point, but we still need to do much more than that as the problem is multi-dimentional and cannot be solved in just proposing to give more freedom to the teachers and the students . What about our students' low level which you mentioned in your article and which is at the origin of our woes and sorrows? What can we do to face such a situation? Do we have to carry on telling our vicious lie(s) to each other pretending that everything is plain sailing? What about students' mad keenness on deserting classrooms massively at the end of each term? I personally think that we had better first make an analysis of our students' needs and problems as well as of those of our teachers', then we may try to think of some appropriate, and relevant proposals which we may put forward for execution.
Mustapha Louznadji
It is time we update the syllabus to meet the needs of learners. It is time to stop treating students as "if they are variants of the same individual". It is time to stop teaching our differentiated classrooms the same lesson in the same way at the same pace!
I believe that the unitary lesson for ALL is odd today. Training teachers to "maximize students' learning by improving the match between a student's individual needs and the syllabus" is fundamental to keep students learning till the end of the year. It also raises teacher's awareness and responsibility to get the best from ALL their students.
So, to me, the best agent for syllabus differentiation is the practitioner, and teachers are able to differentiate the content, the process and the product. Let's believe in teachers' abilities, and they will make the difference.
Phil Silvester CBE -UK
Mere compliance is, in my view, the teacher's and policy-maker's enemy. It is seductively easy to seek massive curriculum coverage with formal exams which provide a narrow source of outcome data. What is the real purpose of these lessons? Shouldn't we be teaching thinking skills, problem-solving and encouraging the learner to be independent?

2 December 2016
The continuing presence of asbestos in our schools is a scandal, and the shocking lack of consistency across different local authority areas, revealed in responses to recent Freedom of Information requests, should set alarm bells ringing across central and local government.
Figures released today as a result of Freedom of Information requests submitted by Lucie Stephens and BBC Yorkshire to all LAs in England and Wales, paint a disturbing picture of complacency, evasion of responsibility and lack of knowledge. Lucie's mother, Sue Stephens, died of mesothelioma in June this year and wanted the removal of asbestos from schools to be her legacy.
The figures reveal great variation in the management of asbestos, with some LAs claiming not to know how many of their schools contain asbestos, some withholding the information and others stating that full responsibility lies with schools themselves. There were 99 reported incidents of asbestos exposure in school premises between 2011 and 2016 (likely to be a massive understatement as these are just known potential exposure incidents). 220 school employees/former employees and former pupils have pursued a claim for compensation between 2006 and 2016 this time with over £10 million being paid out.
Commenting on the situation, John McClean, Chair of JUAC and Secretariat of the Asbestos in Schools group said:
'What this information reveals is that the Government's policy of managing asbestos in schools is simply not working and is putting children and staff at risk. We call upon the Government to:

'It's going to be a beautiful day': Retired military couple celebrate degrees from McKendree
Doug and Adrienne Smith have reason to celebrate.
The Mascoutah couple will graduate from McKendree University on Saturday. Doug, 51, will be awarded a bachelor's in business administration with an emphasis in management. Adrienne, 56, will receive her master's in business administration.
"We're graduating the same day, different times," said Adrienne. "He's in the morning. I am in the afternoon. It's going to be a beautiful day."
A couple weeks out, they had papers to write, tests to take, projects to complete.
"The hardest part is the last two classes that I am taking online," Adrienne said, sitting on their patio looking out on a spring green lawn she had just cut. Their chocolate Lab, Leo, ambled by for a pat on the back. "I'm organizing a party for close friends and family. I've reserved everything. We have to get our heads out of the party and back to school. It's also our 20th wedding anniversary."
Doug's son (Doug II) and three grandkids are coming from Indiana, and her sister will make the trip from Oregon. A cousin from Maryland and friends are expected from near and far.
"We want people to relax at our party because that's what we plan to do," said Adrienne.
The retired military couple, who both have full-time jobs, attend classes in the evening. Dinners are catch-as-catch-can.
"Monday, crock pot," said Adrienne, a paralegal for the U.S. Department of Justice in Fairview Heights. "Tuesday, salads from Jefferson's, Wednesday, crock pot or leftovers....."
And so on.
"We see each other in passing, and there are times we don't see each other for a day or two," said Adrienne. "Our longest stretch? Three days."
"I am up and out the door before she's awake," said Doug, a network administrator for a government contractor in St. Louis. "I won't see her till 10:30 at night."
He starts work at 6 a.m. and has classes till 9:40 three nights a week.
They email and text.
"Our daughter (Codi) has been wonderful," said Adrienne. "She's a junior in high school. We talked with her before we went back. She's picked up some of the slack around the house."
And helped her parents with math.
"I guess I am proud of them," said Codi, who got used to seeing her parents less. "I am getting older, more independent."
"She taught me how to use a TI-84 (graphing) calculator," said Doug. "What a monster that is."
Back to school
The Smiths chose McKendree because the liberal arts university in Lebanon had the programs they wanted and was close.
"Wherever you go, it's what you take out that counts," said Adrienne.
Doug began pursuing his bachelor's degree in 2011.
"I had two associate degrees," he said. "I would like to get a little more ahead. The only way to get ahead is to get a bachelor's degree. You don't see someone in management without one. I went in as a junior. I took a year off in 2012. I had a stroke."
He was at work when he realized something was wrong.
"My mouth didn't do what I was telling it to. Someone asked me a question. I turned around and started talking in jibberish."
Attentive co-workers quickly called medical staff.
"By the time they got to me, most of my symptoms had cleared up," he said. "I had a nice four-day vacation in the hospital."
And a year off from school.
"You started back in August (2013)," said Adrienne, who spent 20 years in the U.S. Air Force. "I started in October. I decided if he was going back to school, so was I ... When I spoke to the director of the program (Frank Spreng), I said, 'If I am going to do this, I want to graduate with my husband.' He said, 'I think we can do that.'"
Adrienne had earned her bachelor's degree in applied sciences in paralegal studies from McMurray University in Abilene, Texas.
"Being in the Air Force, it took me 10 years to finish," she said. "When I got into this program, I wanted to get it done quickly. It was meant to be. It wasn't as bad as I thought. I enjoyed classes."
In the condensed program, she started a new class every five weeks. Economics was her first.
"I wanted to pull my hair out," said Adrienne. "It had been 16 years since my first undergraduate class. It was a lot to get back to the study mode."
The MBA program at McKendree caters to students such as Adrienne.
"Our whole program is at night and essentially created for and structured for part-time students who on average have full-time jobs or other responsibilities," said Spreng. "As far as I can tell, (Adrienne) can juggle pretty well. The reality is graduate school does take time."
He talks to potential students about expectations.
"If they're pretty old in terms of going to graduate school, in their 50s or 60s, and expecting a gigantic impact on their career, it's probably not realistic," he said. "They don't have enough time left in their career to do that. The push an MBA can give you doesn't have the same financial benefit as if you were in your 20s or 30s."
But there are still benefits.
"All learn things they didn't know," said Spreng. "They develop skills they didn't have. They get a lot of what I call 'food for thought.' It gives them a different outlook. At any age, they will benefit."
Adrienne didn't mind being an older student.
"It's a smaller group for the master's program," she said. "I have formed some really great friendships. The other students have been a great help. You learn teamwork. When you want to tear out your hair, (you say), 'You do this. I will do that.' ... I am not computer friendly. I am computer tolerant."
At home, Doug is tech support for his family.
Adrienne's classes were on the Lebanon campus and online. Doug's met at McKendree's Center at Scott Air Force Base.
"My courses are accelerated as well ... Professors can load you up. You just push on," he said.
Their beginning
Adrienne was born outside Cleveland, Ohio.
Doug, who describes himself as an "Air Force brat," moved with his family to Mascoutah in 1968. "I joined the Air Force in '82 and retired back here January 1, 2007."
They met when both were stationed in Korea.
"We were friends," said Doug. "Then it evolved. I'd say, 'This is my Korean wife.'"
Together, they look forward to more career opportunities.
"I'm open to anything that comes my way," said Adrienne. "I enjoy what I do. I have used a lot of what I learned in my job. I believe opportunities present themselves when they need to be presented. Everything I have done in my whole life, when it's right, it happens for me."
After graduation, the Smiths will be able to get back to hiking and biking, gardening and vacations.
"We have one planned for after Codi finishes school," said Doug.
They will make several stops in Florida, including Legoland and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios in Orlando, Fla. Doug, who enjoys scuba diving, plans to snorkel with manatees.
It's a reward for all their hard work.
"I am glad I did it," said Adrienne.
"I am glad it's over," said Doug.
For now.
Adrienne is considering going for another master's degree or a doctorate. Doug can't get enough school, either.
"I will be starting next year on my MBA," he said. "That's the plan."
Advice on going back to college
The beginning: "It's frightening, but it's doable," said Adrienne. "Once you get through the first class, it's routine."
Take breaks when you need them, and just keep on going.
If you need help, ask.

Hi everyone.
My dogs don´t do tricks and neither do they wear funny hats or pants, so some people may say they are useless.You tell me.
When I first came to Costa Rica four years ago I didn`t have a toilet (don`t ask), so I had to go in the woods. One day I was there with my trousers down when I heard somebody walking straight towards me. I knew I wouldn`t have time to hide or do anything and I just wanted to be swallowed by the earth very quickly, when suddenly I see my puppy -he was about three months old at the time- coming out of the undergrowth with his nose to the ground and obviously looking for me. I had left him asleep in the house because it was very hot but when he woke up he was able to pick up my scent and find me up the mountain.
A few months later we were walking with his two sisters whom I had just rescued and they were looking for coaties and anything they could chase, when I heard something like a child crying, and a growl or a man`s voice. I in all my stupidity (this is Costa Rica not Central Park) was going to see if somebody was injured when I looked at my dogs. I was very surprised to see that they were frozen in the spot just looking at the place where the noises were coming from. This was amazing to me because they usually chased everything on two legs, four legs or wheels. I called them but they did not move, so I decided to go back home a bit spooked.
A few days later somebody sighted a "lion" not far from the place where I had been -I think what they call a lion here is more like a puma or something else-, and it seems that lions make those sounds that I had heard.

Saturday 10th June 2017
Announcing itself in a celebration of brightly coloured buildings, the neighbourhood of La Boca boasts an identity of tradition and cultural diversity. Arriving on foot, you find yourself in the heart of the district with almost no warning or expectation. It's early Saturday afternoon, the street markets are bustling, and dancers exhibiting the famous Argentine Tango begin their matinee performances in the cafes and bars. The most striking thing to note upon first visit is the closeness of it all. Sidling between market stalls and up stairways into crowded shops, most of the tourist-orientated merchandise is packed into two or three colourful, picturesque streets.
In this sense, La Boca appears a typical tourist trap. Tango dancers with a wardrobe of costumes lure passers-by into posing for photos, plastic effigies of Pope Francis are wheeled out on street corners, and a man who looks vaguely like Diego Maradona bounces a ball in a fake Argentina strip. But it is only natural for the people of the area to monetise what has become such an identifiable corner of Buenos Aires. It has much to say for itself, but what brought this writer here was the stadium which peaks behind the aged rooftops - La Bombanera, the home of Boca Juniors.
Museo de la Pasión Boquense is the title of the tour and museum package sold at the stadium. This includes a guided tour around the ground and access to an exhibition of items and interactive media which tell the story of Club Atletico Boca Juniors. This writer embarked on this tour as a football fan, to get a better perspective of the club and to visit the stadium, but the experience provided a deeper understanding of the roots of the club and the significance it holds for the people who surround their lives with it.
For many in Argentina, football is treated as a way of life. This holds true for Boca fans, more so than many. It's the reason why their rivalry with city counterparts River Plate, el Superclásico, is considered one of the most intense and dangerous in the world. It's the reason their homes, businesses, and lampposts within the stadium vicinity are painted in blue and yellow club colours, and it's the reason the team are known and revered across world football today.
Ticket purchased, and with half an hour until the start of the guided stadium tour, there is time for a quick peruse of the museum beforehand. Drawing attention was a dome-shaped room with the appearance of a football, displaying 360° video inside. It documented the journey of a young local playing in the shadow of the stadium who grows up to play for the first team. All filmed within the immediate vicinity of the ground, with the viewer placed as the subject of the story, it communicates the passion and desire that the club affects on its community from a young age.
The other exhibit which piques the interest is a large model of the traditional homes which overlook the docks only a few streets away from the stadium. It was poignant that football has no visible mention or suggestion here. It stands as homage to the people, industry, and diversity which led to the formation of the club. Set against a dark night sky, small video projections lend life to the windows. Within them, Tango dancers, a family eating dinner, people drinking in a bar. A snapshot of life before Boca Juniors. With a large influx of European immigrants, the dockland area was one of many borrowed influences. Specifically, it was immigrants from Genoa who set about the foundation of a football club, hence the nickname 'Xeneizes' (Genoese), a nod to the club's original founders.
Time arrived for the tour to begin. A large group numbering around 40 people is led from the museum through a concourse and into the lowest rows of seating in the 'flat' stand. The most recent notable upgrade, this stand was built in 1996 and consists mainly of VIP seating. In stark contrast to the other three surrounding sides of the stadium, which are cast in concrete and form a continuous wrap around the pitchside, it stands alone; a vertical tower block-like presence unique to La Bombanera. Despite its comparatively low profile and unorthodox structure, its proximity to the pitch enhances the atmosphere within the stadium. Venturing up to the top is a rather nausea-inducing experience for those with a dislike for heights.
The next stop was the terracing behind the goal; as the lowest tier
The tour is rounded off with a visit to the home dressing room, press area, and a celebratory room with statues of club legends, amongst them Martin Palermo, Juan Román Riquelme, and Diego Maradona. Funds for these were raised by fan contributions, and testament is paid to each one with an inscription of their name on the plinth on which the statue stands. The tour ended upon exiting this room, however no pressure was applied to for us leave the stadium. The opposing end of terracing left free to reign for photo opportunities, or sit and eat lunch with a view as we decided.
The path from the exit at La Bombanera leads back towards the throng of markets at the dock. Fresh from the Boca experience, this writer couldn't resist a replica retro shirt. The collared Nike design of season 1997/98, worn by Diego Maradona in his last season at the club, one of many on display with local vendors. On a concrete square, separated from the world by rusting blue and yellow fencing, young locals are involved in a heated kick about. Perhaps one of them may become a future Boca star...

In tomorrows lecture we look the idea of a set and how to combine sets through unions, intersections and other operations. Don't forget to turn in your first assignment: Exercise 3.2(ii) (p. 33).
Recall that homework for the course is due at EVERY lecture. Your second assignment — Exercises 1.10 (p. 6), 1.33 (p. 11) and 1.34 (i-ii) (p. 12) — is due on Friday.
To succeed in this (or any other) math course, you MUST do the homework and attend recitations to work on the practice material. It is part of your grade, of course, but more importantly it is an indespensible step in the process of learning the subject. If for some reason you must miss a lecture please, let me know beforehand and make arrangements to get the homework to me. To give you a little flexibility, I have decided to drop ONE quiz for each student in case you need to miss ONE recitation meeting for some reason. Please let Alex and I know beforehand. There are only twelve recitation meetings, not counting the two exams, so please do not miss more than one! (Students missing more than one recitation will be dealt with on a case by case basis.)
Please note that the course schedule (which you may find at the above link) has reading assignments. Stay up to date with this! In partcular, note that Chapter 2 was on your reading assignment for Monday although we will not discuss it in lecture or recitation. Please read it, however! You will find the suggestions on how to read mathematics helpful.

The numbers are staggering. Over 700,000 Rohingya refugees, many of them children and women, have taken shelter in Bangladesh to escape wholesale slaughter, rape, and burning of their villages in Myanmar — systematic violence that the United Nations has described as as a "textbook example of ethnic cleansing."
The descriptions of their conditions are moving. Read, for example, this, from the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHRC) website: "They have walked for days through jungles and mountains, or braved dangerous sea voyages across the Bay of Bengal . . . Monsoon and cyclone season has arrived . . . Thousands of refugees will face grave risk of landslides and floods."
Watching drone footage of the Kutupalang "megacamp," video of the flooding or video interviews with refugees, makes the situation seem even more immediate.
But numbers, written descriptions, images are one thing. What must it be like to actually be on the ground, witnessing and providing relief in this humanitarian crisis?
Rhonda Gossen is the person to tell us.
She recently returned home to Lindsay after seven months in Bangladesh where her abbreviated UN title was specialist for host communities' response.
When Rhonda and her Iranian-born husband, Shahbaz — who joined her in Bangladesh for two month-long stretches — sit down with me, it's the Bangladesh experience and the lessons she took away from it that I want to hear about.
But I have other questions, too: How did she come to be there? What was it like to return to Lindsay after all that?
The Making of an Aid Worker
Rhonda's university degrees are in International Studies and Human Security and Peacekeeping, but the experience that really set her on her path was volunteer work in India with the Canada World Youth exchange program (something she'd recommend to any budding humanitarian).
Since then she's served as a Canadian diplomat and development worker with Global Affairs Canada and spent time as a research fellow at UBC for most of her career but the past five years, she has been a consultant with the United Nations.
It's taken her into many fraught situations.
Her introduction to crisis response and conflict zones came in 2008, when she was posted to Kandahar in Afghanistan with the Canadian Government.
Later, when the Indus River flooded, affecting 20 million in Pakistan, she first saw the images on TV, sitting in Lindsay with her daughter. She then flew in to this crisis zone and later took assignments with UNDP in South Sudan, and in 2014 in Lebanon with UNHCR.
The experience with massive numbers of Syrian refugees in Lebanon was particularly helpful preparation for Bangladesh.
But there were significant differences: the Syrians had been displaced and were fleeing violence; the Rohingya were victims of ethnic cleansing, and were essentially stateless (having been stripped of citizenship rights decades earlier).
And Lebanon was a much wealthier country than Bangladesh.
In December, 2017, Rhonda flew in to Dakha, then on to Cox's Bazar, the epicentre of the refugee crisis.
Cox's Bazar might, at some time in the past, have been a delight to visit. It has the longest sandy beach in the world (129 km) and provides wildlife habitat for tortoises and elephants. But in addition to now being inundated with refugees it's an area prone to climate disasters such as high tides, monsoons, and mudslides. As Shahbaz notes, "the conditions are there for an emergency within an emergency."
Rhonda remembers the initial impression the camps made on her. "When you see them what strikes everybody is the sheer size," she says. "You know something has gone terribly wrong."
Rhonda was not a first responder. Most of her energy went to work with the host communities — the Bangladeshis — who were facing the impact of the massive influx of refugees.
She was hugely impressed by the generosity and kindness of the Bangladeshis to the newcomers. Here were those with very little, sharing their food, possessions and space with large numbers of refugees who had almost nothing.
She was equally impressed by the refugees, who demonstrated enormous resilience. Just a few weeks ago, the first democratic election was held in the largest refugee camp. Half the elected Rohingya leaders were male, half female. They were empowered to help make decisions about their situation and represent the wider community.
Coming Home
A month ago Rhonda returned to Lindsay. She'd left Bangladesh with mixed feelings. The crisis was deepening, but there had been small victories.
She also took satisfaction in the role Canada was playing advocating for justice for the Rohingya people and contributing $300 million to relief and recovery efforts.
Being back in Lindsay was a relief. She was with Shahbaz and her daughter. "It's peaceful, she notes, "and the air is clean. It's so easy to live here."
Coming back to Lindsay, though, she was reminded that poverty exists here too, despite the general affluence of Canadian society. Here, poverty exists side by side with prosperity.
As she decompresses Rhonda continues to work, from home or on trips to Ottawa or Toronto. Both she and Shahbaz also hope to build their connections here in Lindsay and to contribute to our community.
Doing Our Part
It's impossible to sit down with Rhonda without wanting to make a bit of a difference yourself, and she has thoughts on what we might do.
To start we ought to be aware of what's going on around the world and be cognizant of our shared humanity. A child in Bangladesh or Yemen is as important and deserving of care as a child in Canada or the U.S.
And although we should recognize the resilience and capacity of people to improve their lives no matter what crisis situation they are facing, it's incumbent on us to do what we can to help.
To support humanitarian efforts in Bangladesh through organizations based in Canada that are active there, you could donate to UNHCR Canada, to the Canadian Red Cross or to NGOs like Oxfam Canada. But there are other humanitarian crises playing out in countries around the world.
And here in Lindsay you can donate or volunteer at Community Care, Women's Resources, A Place Called Home or any of a dozen other organizations.
