Buying a traditional automotive makes you look elegant, elegant and tasteful. However it is not always a good idea. Some are very costly to purchase and run, other less to purchase but expensive to maintain. Nonetheless finding a superb instance in good situation, with out breaking the financial institution is possible. I'd advocate some cars with timeless design, enough quick and reliable that you can drive daily or in weekend. Nanomaterials additionally can be used for the catalysts and electrodes in fuel cells, making these devices more economical. Automotive gasoline cells themselves are nonetheless in a very nascent stage, and nanotechnology within the automotive fuel cell sector is virtually non-existent. Main use of nanotechnology in gasoline cells is predicted only from 2008 on – at the moment, the main target primarily is on analysis and development.
Now the more of your videos i watch, the more unsure i'm and now i am enthusiastic about probably going into Mechanical engineering. Before sharpening, I spent a while taking off a lot of the exterior decals. Armed with a hairdryer, it went off pretty simple. Residue cleanup with GooGone.

Ask the other mechanics for suggestions and spend time outside work studying up on your field. Your experience is your own home away from dwelling. It isn't nearly being comfortable. It is not nearly fitting it all in. It isn't nearly getting the place you're going. It's every bit about what drives you as much as it's about what you drive and about what will get you going.

Tesla has done the unthinkable. They have taken their fast, very fast, Model S sedan and grafted an egg-shaped SUV body onto it and are calling it the Model X. Yes, they've been hyping the Model X for a few years now and had some production issues (most notable due to the design of the rear passenger doors) but the official unveiling and first delivery just happened.
Now that we have official specs let the nitpicking begin.
There are two models of the Model X slated so far; the 90D and P90D. With the 90D you get all wheel drive, and EPA estimated range of 257 miles, 4.8 seconds to 60 miles per hour and two 259 horsepower electric motors, one for each axle. The P90D (P for performance) gives you a 250 miles estimated range, 60 miles per hour in 3.8 seconds and one electric motor powering the front wheel with 259 horsepower and one electric motor powering the rear wheels rated at 503 horsepower! Your range may vary.
Now, about those rear passenger doors. Tesla is calling them Falcon Wing doors. In concept they are like gull wing doors in that they open upwards but that is where the conceptual likeness ends. Falcon Wing doors are hinged near the top of the window glass so that the doors open almost straight up and then out rather than simply opening out. this design facilitates quite a few interesting and awesome ideals; you can stand in the rear seat, it's easier to get child seats into and out of the vehicle and the children along with them and you can open the doors with about a foot of room between the Model X and the nearest obstacle. And for you ninnies who will complain about low overhangs, there are sensors built in that will detect a low garage ceiling or other obstruction.
One thing that might be a deal-breaker for some people is the lack of folding rear seats. That second row, with either two or three seats, is rigid and not much has been shown yet as to how it works to get people into the far back seats. We do know that they do not fold for cargo purposes like the far back seats do. It will be interesting to see how this pans out once more people get their hands on these machines.
Pricey? Yes. But these are not for the mainstream as we know it. No, these are for those on the bleeding edge, those who need to have the latest and greatest technology no matter the cost…and also for those looking for bragging rights. "I've got the new Tesla. What do you have?"
Here are some manufacturer's specs for your reading pleasure:
-Falcon Wing rear doors with built in sensors, which automatically adjust to the optimal opening arc in confined spaces or small garages.
-Automatically deploying rear spoiler
-Maps and navigation with real time traffic updates
-Daytime running lights
-Power-folding and heated side mirrors
-Front trunk with room for luggage, strollers or two golf bags
-Full size rear cargo area for your gear
-Free long distance travel on Tesla's expanding Supercharger network
8 year, infinite mile battery and drive unit warranty
-Automatic keyless entry, with automatically opening front doors
-GPS enabled Homelink
-Parking sensors, blind spot warning and side collision avoidance
-Automatic emergency braking to assist in avoiding collisions, even at highway speeds
-Seating for up to seven adults
-Four LATCH child seat attachments, two in each passenger row
P90D Performance All-Wheel Drive:
250 miles range (EPA est.)
3.8 seconds 0-60 mph
3.2 seconds with Ludicrous Speed Upgrade
259 hp front, 503 hp rear motor power
155 mph top speed
90D All-Wheel Drive:
257 miles range (EPA est.)
4.8 seconds 0-60 mph
259 hp front, 259 hp rear motor power
155 mph top speed
Stow everyone's gear in Model X's large front trunk, rear cargo area and under passenger seats. The front trunk is large enough to hold two golf bags and the rear cargo area can easily hold large items like bicycles, skis and snowboards. Hitch mounted accessory carriers hold additional gear. Model X is the first electric vehicle with a 5,000 pound towing capacity.
Model X has the largest all glass panoramic windshield in production, providing an unparalleled view of the stars and sky above. Optimized solar tinting and obstruction-free view creates unlimited visibility for the driver and all passengers.
Model X is able to achieve 250 miles of range in part because it is the most aerodynamic SUV in production. At 0.24, Model X's drag coefficient is 20% lower than the next best SUV. In addition, an active spoiler deploys from the rear liftgate to optimize highway efficiency and stability.
Falcon Wing doors allow easy access to second and third row seats from even a tight parking space, while traditional SUV doors or Minivan sliding doors would not grant any access.
With only a foot of clearance on either side, Falcon Wing doors articulate smoothly up and out of the way, allowing passengers to enter from both front and rear directions. The side and overhead opening is so large that parents can buckle children in without ducking or straining and without bumping their child's head on the roof.

Guibjo TR
Another original PRUCHA creation is the Guibjo TR. We used traditional electric guitar design to covered our banjo pot with a rim and a flathead tone ring. The Guibjo TR can be played acoustically yet also delivers on power through its two magnetic pickups. You have the choice to play unplugged on the stage or to wire up with the other electric instruments.

Rugby League Expert & Columnist
Brian Carney's eye-catchers: Race for Qualifers hotting up, ARL taking aim at international game?
Last Updated: 17/07/18 4:52pm
Brian Carney on the race for the Qualifiers - and those looking to avoid them - and proposed international changes...
Hung, drawn and quartered
There were two matches of massive importance on Sky Sports on Thursday and Friday last week, and both ended in draws which has sparked interest.
First the Wolves ended up with a point against the Dragons, then Leeds and Wakefield shared the spoils on Friday night.
The first thing I will say is that although some people have called for it, I find Golden Point unnecessary unless it's a knock-out game. Both of the draws offered plenty of entertainment in terms of the 80 minutes, as well as what the results means for the rest of the season. I also feel a draw was a fair result in both encounters.
We aren't much wiser when it comes to predicting the top eight and bottom four of Super League, but the current run of Huddersfield is keeping things on a knife edge, and a win for them over the Tigers this Friday would really start to make things interesting. Salford are gone, and while Hull KR aren't yet out, they are holding on by a thread.
If Wakefield, Catalans the Giants record one win in their last two games, Leeds are in the bottom four. Troubling time for the Rhinos, coming in the same week in which Ryan Hall has confirmed he will be leaving the club at the end of the current season.
The race to avoid the Qualifiers is really hotting up in Super League…
Championship jostling
Just as the Super League clubs jostle to avoid the Qualifiers, the Championship sides are starting to edge out their rivals in a race to nab a spot in the Qualifiers.
One of the biggest talking points from the second tier was London's win over Halifax on Sunday. In last week's episode of Golden Point, we reviewed the top-four credentials of those in contention, and Baz and Tez both said they felt the Broncos would not feature in the Qualifiers. I imagine they will be scrambling to make new predictions now.
Bering in mind that Toronto are safe at the top, there are five sides gunning for the remaining three places. London's result means they hang onto fourth spot, but on the same number of competition points as Halifax, and Leigh just one competition point behind them.
Who will get the goods? Next up for London is Featherstone away, while Halifax take on Toulouse. We might yet see the Centurions finish the regular season inside the top four, as they have an eminently winnable game against Swinton next up.
There are twists and turns aplenty as we approach round 23 in the Betfred Championship as well as Super League!
Aussies taking aim at RLIF?
Australia Rugby League have proposed changes to the international calendar in 2019. If you look at it on the surface the proposal is innocent enough, and even positive in some ways, but Nigel Wood has expressed his surprise in a press release, mentioning two factors - what's been proposed is not what was initially agreed, and the way the ARL have made the announcement is not the way to go about proposing changes.
What exactly are the Australians playing at? Is it a shot across the pond from the Australian game aimed at the RLIF?
It's fair to say, at the very least, that the way they've made the proposal public is an indication of how they feel about the RLIF. Because if the Australians held the RLIF in high regard, a unilateral announcement would not be how that proposal came to light. It certainly raises the question as to how the Aussie power brokers view the people in charge of the international game.
Remember that John Grant was ousted by the NRL clubs, then ended up in the International federation. Nigel Wood then left his position in Super League and joined Grant. What it means is that there is history as well as personalities at play here.
It certainly puts huge pressure on Grant and Wood, whose appointments in the RLIF raised plenty of eyebrows north and south of the equator. All will be discussed with Terry O'Connor and Phil Clarke on Golden Point on Thursday night as our sport enters another fascinating chapter.

text: So, driving home the other day, this Prius was passing people on the left shoulder and cutting people off as seen here. I wanted to see what my car would do and it braked for me and sounded an alert that a possible impact could happen. I didn't have a lot of faith yet in AP, but I'm getting better over time. Ever so slowly I'll let the car do it's thing, but I was super nervous about not reacting for the car since I saw him coming up on my left. Now, I have more faith with AP and that it can do it's job while I sleep. LOL. Curious if anyone else has captured any videos of people cutting you off and letting AP react how it was designed.

No standout pros?
Miku crushed almost any probe record he took a closer look at with ease.
Akuma frequently proves a challenge to take down even with many good players in lobby.
I am still playing, and even though my "best days" may be over, I still am a somewhat decent player...
There are plenty of people in the PvZAS clan that are more than capable of performing well in high level games.
There are a handful of somewhat talented / up and coming players outside of PvZAS (many of which play with us to improve)
You really say there are no standout pros?
I love bbQ, but Miku is better (I'll still say otherwise later, just to mess with Miku)
Phantom was a horror zealot to play against, but playing against Akuma is worse.
No standout pros? Get real Rohime, todays players outclass epicac and bbQ by several levels.
I've given up on trying to get you to make updates, not because I don't want any, but because I have realized I'm wasting my time talking to you. You're not going to make any changes anyways. Letting Talisien -kill the zealot in multiple cases without taking any action really shows how many f*cks you give. I don't even hate Talisien, to me he's been a very long time player that plays as fast as a turtle, I don't see any particular reason why he should / shouldn't have been given mod powers, but I don't see why he gets to keep them after clearly abusing them in multiple cases. Even Marcus, a long time veteran and Moderator stated that he doesn't think Talisien should be mod at some point.
Nobody can force you to record and upload high level games. Nobody can force you to make changes on pvz2 and publish them. However YOU cannot say "There are no real standout pros at the moment". Just because you don't look around you doesn't mean there are none.

When's the public hearing for new charter school applications?
As recently reported in The Notebook, charter school applications must have a review that is open to the public. The first round of reviews are now scheduled.
We strongly encourage educators and community members to look up whether charter schools are targeting their zip code with their application -- and then attend that application's meeting to let the School District of Philadelphia know that we are committed to our public schools in these neighborhoods.
We know that educators are working during most of these meetings, but we urge you to contact your parents and community members so that they can turn out and represent your school.
Let the review board know -- charter schools are not a sustainable option for our district!
The only reason that charter applications are even being considered again is due to an add-on clause to the Cigarette Bill Tax. Parents at Steel and Marin showed the District last spring that they did not want charters in their neighborhoods. Now there are 40 applications that need the same kind of community input.
The meetings will be held at the School District Central Office, 440 North Broad Street.

WE Statement on #Ferguson and #BlackLivesMatter
Last night, a grand jury declined to charge Darren Wilson, the police officer in the shooting death of Michael Brown. The Caucus of Working Educators stands in solidarity with Ferguson, Missouri and the parents of the Michael Brown in their disappointment of this ruling.
As teachers in the city of Philadelphia, we work every day to help our students see that their lives matter. We fight for quality public schools that will give every student the opportunity to feel that their voices, opinions, and lives are valued and cared for.
However, moments such as the non-indictment of Darren Wilson in the murder of Mike Brown teach our students a different story. This story -as well as the story of 12 year old Tamir Rice, Trayvon Martin, and many others- says that the lives of black and brown youth don't matter. These stories paint our students as criminals, rather than the intelligent and loving young men and women we know they are.
WE stand in solidarity with everyone across the country fighting for #blacklivesmatter. WE are inspired by the millions of young people in Ferguson and around the country who have said "We've had enough", and have stood up for justice for Mike Brown and the countless number of black men and women who continue to die at the hands of police officers under questionable circumstances.
It is time now for the Attorney General Eric Holder to continue the federal case and find justice for Michael Brown. We encourage teachers in Philadelphia to discuss the verdict with your colleagues and students in your school. We will not be able to save public education without fighting for racial justice and dismantling the school-to-prison pipeline at the same time. You can find many articles and resources to spark your discussion by searching #FergusonSyllabus.
Until we stop sanitizing the issue of race, class, and its connection to how American justice is delegated, we will never find a real sustainable solution.
City Council Testimony: Tiffany Bhavnani
On Wednesday, December 19th, many educators from around Philadelphia gave testimony to City Council in opposition to the overwhelming number of standardized tests that are administered in Philadelphia. Here is the spoken and written testimony of one such teacher.
Dear Honorable Councilwoman Blackwell:
I am one of the most privileged teachers in the School District of Philadelphia, because I am an ESOL teacher at Furness High School. I work with intelligent, creative, and enthusiastic students whose native language is not English in a neighborhood school whose student population includes a great deal of political refugees, unaccompanied and undocumented minors, immigrants from over 20 countries, students with IEPs and some students who arrived only after they were ejected from Catholic, private, charter, or special admit schools, but for whom our doors are always open. English language learners account for 57% of Furness High School's current student population of 682 students. Even our Principal is a former Furness ESOL student and refugee from Cambodia, and his ESOL teacher at the time is still teaching at our school.
Do you know the percentage of English Language Learners at Central? 1% of their 2300+ student population. Masterman 0%, CAPA – 1%, Engineering & Science – 3%, Science Leadership – 3%. Why do you think ELL students are virtually absent from the city's academically selective high schools and charters? Because English language proficiency has a profound impact on standardized testing. The elite public schools and charters do everything possible to keep or improve their test scores, unfortunately the major indicator of a school's success. This means ESOL students are excluded from their esteemed populations to ensure high test scores.
The widely researched and accepted facts show that it takes a minimum of 5-7 years for a student to gain academic English, IF they are literate in their first language, AND they have content knowledge from their native education, which is far from the case with many of our ELLs in Philadelphia. Yet, these same students are expected to become "native-level" proficient in English after one, two or three years of ESOL and content area coursework in Philadelphia schools. It is utterly inappropriate academically, and is a practice that repeatedly makes our students feel deficient and defeated, despite obvious gains on the ACCESS test which IS designed for their assessment.
Put yourself in their positions for just a moment, a Philadelphia legislator for one school year in a country vastly different from anything you've ever known. You have no family with you, or maybe one sibling, like many of my students. The food and water don't agree with you and you have skin problems, and an upset stomach, and the lunch you're served every day, you have to force down. The environment is hostile, especially when you're coming from one extreme climate and going to another, maybe from a village to a crime-ridden city. Your whole support network of friends and neighbors that you relied on before, now consists of strangers who shout at you when you don't understand them or respond as they expect you to. You spend 7 hours a day in classes in a foreign tongue, with a different form of writing and you don't know how to write a single word. Imagine, every time anyone in your household has to communicate in this
new language it is your responsibility, for the bills, at the doctors, shopping, when school calls for a younger sibling. Then, midway through your school year, you will be given standardized tests in language proficiency, math and science. Do you think that you, an educated professional, literate in your first language, could pass any of the assessments at a high school level in your "new" language? Now, imagine each of those advantages you have as an American professional disappearing, and you are one of my students.
Common sense tells you that second language students don't have a fighting chance to score "proficient" on standardized tests developed and "normed" on native English-speaking test populations. Even their English-speaking educated peers struggle to perform at a proficient level, in a district devoid of support for the learning needs of our students, many of whom live below the poverty level.
English language proficiency has a profound effect on assessment and its outcomes. These tests are not appropriate for our English language learners. They do not adequately assess their progress in learning—not only the English language, but in grade-level content. These assessments are not an accurate measure of their true achievement.
My students remain in school and continue their education despite the many academic, cultural and economic challenges they face on a daily basis. And what do we do to them? We force them to take test after test that they are not ready or able to succeed at. We make them cry in frustration to comply with mandates. We ask them to reach a proficient level on standardized tests even though they have not acquired the English language proficiency needed to meaningfully interact with the tests' content. Then these test scores are used to label our school "low performing" even though they are attending one of the best schools for English language learners in the state.
If you were able to visit our school, and I personally invite you to do so, you would see students of all nationalities, religions, and political persuasions with rich and varied histories collaborating as they navigate a new world together. You will see them volunteering thousands of service hours with BuildOn. You will see them apply to, get accepted by and receive scholarships at quality universities all over the state. You will see ESOL students working with Americans in AP classes after only a few years here. You will see students sharing their culture, their lives, their academic endeavors with each other and their teachers. You will see the true meaning of proficiency, success, academic achievement and social responsibility. You will see a high performing school. The Keystone test will never show you any of this.
No, the Keystone will show you how our school failed. Our students are below basic. The teachers are unsatisfactory. A test which robs our students of weeks of instructional time as we complete 12 days of testing, without factoring in Benchmarks that we will also administer this year. All at the cost of millions of dollars, fully knowing that the students will not be proficient by this irrelevant test. The state of Pennsylvania will spend $58.3 million this school year alone on PSSAs and Keystone exams. Just think what that money could do to truly educate these young people.
So, who wants to go to Fuzhou, China next fall for a reality check about standardized testing? Any volunteers? I am sure the Inquirer and Notebook would love to publish your scores. I wonder how many Chinese characters you could learn by March.

Wednesday: Opt-Out Hearing at City Council
On Wednesday, November 19th, several caucus members will be participating in the Opt-Out hearing at City Council. Below is the testimony from a few of them.
Please show your support for their work by attending the event at City Hall at 3PM -- Room 400 Council Chambers. Teachers are encouraged to come after work, as the testimony is expected to go until 5PM. You can RSVP on their Facebook Event Page.
Parent Alison McDowell:
I resent the significant quantities of time and money that are being spent on standardized testing. These tests are impeding our teachers' ability to instruct our students. Our children are not standardized, and heaven knows the resources we put into public schools do not meet any standard of equity across districts. I trust my child's teachers. I do not trust Pearson, nor do I trust billionaires like Bill Gates seeking to implement Common Core and its associated testing regimen. Education should be joyful. It should celebrate the talents of our children and lift them up. We should not try to force children into the same mold. It hurts them, and in the long run it hurts our society.
Even though my child tests well, I can see that this system is broken. Her father and I will not have her scores used as a weapon against children who are more vulnerable than she-those who do not have her advantages. We are refusing the PSSAs for her this year and by doing so we will give her several weeks of time to pursue an independent research project of her choosing. By refusing, we are making a statement that we recognize this corrupt system pits child against child; school against school; and teacher against teacher. Put simply, toxic testing is not a productive use of our limited educational resources.
District Teacher Amy Roat:
Every winter, ESOL students across the country are subjected to taking the ACCESS Test, created by the WIDA Consortium. This company does not release data about the tests reliability or validity. WIDA does not permit outside psychometricians, from a university, for example, to examine the test questions or the actual student results. Yet, WIDA hails itself as the gold standard for measuring what English Language Learners know and can produce.
For over 100 years, it has been a scientific standard that for a theory to be proven accurate or true, it must be able to be replicated by other scientists. Private companies, under the guise of corporate proprietary knowledge, refuse to release the data or let experts analyze their data. It is defies logic that we would judge students, teachers, schools and districts based on dubious tests.
Parent and District Teacher Beth Menasion:
The PSSA's in high school have been replaced with the Keystone exams, which are now a graduation requirement starting with the class of 2017. Last Spring, I watched a student on the autistic spectrum sit and struggle with one module of his Biology Keystone for (I kid you not!) 8 hours straight. He wanted so badly to do well. While he agonized over every answer, he would not admit defeat. The rules of the assessment forbid me from taking the test from a student in situations like these. He sat through his lunch, struggling with this test because he knew that if he didn't pass, he would have to take it again.
I also have a student with a math based learning disability who works extremely hard in math, but did not pass the Algebra Keystone last year. Disappointed in herself, she wanted to see the test and find out which problems she got wrong so that she knows what she must work on for next time. Sadly, students and teachers are prohibited from seeing the exact results of each item on these tests. The rules also say that in the testing rooms and hallways, walls must be devoid of all words and pictures, meaning that teachers must either take down or cover up any student work that is displayed as well as any artwork or even inspirational quotes. Due to the frequency of standardized testing, many teachers on our testing floor no longer see the point of displaying anything anymore. Blank walls.
Why We Refused To Meet With Bill Green
By Jesse Gottschalk and Dan Symonds
As first-year teachers in Philadelphia public schools, it can be extremely difficult to find the time or the energy to assume any sort of responsibility outside our own classrooms. Lesson planning, grading, and parent phone calls often stand in the way of social lives, laundry, and basic attempts at nutrition and exercise.
And yet, on October 16th, we were blocking North Broad Street, along with thousands of other teachers, students, school staff, and allies, to protest the School District's latest attack on democracy and public education – this time, its dubiously legal decision to cancel the teachers' contract. Along with dozens of others (including many other members of the Caucus of Working Educators), we gave testimony before the School Reform Commission – the five member body, appointed by the Governor and Mayor, which exercises complete control over Philadelphia schools.
One of us (Dan) presented a citizen's plea for courage from a body of politicians who have shown anything but. Dan spoke of the powers of the SRC, demanding to know why the SRC would scapegoat teachers and spending issues rather than attacking the real roots of Philadelphia's educational crisis – the political decisions made to starve our schools and steer resources away from public education. When Mr. Green spoke up to tepidly reply, "This body does not have the taxing power..." Dan replied, "Yes, but you do have the speaking power." Green's reaction? Crickets.
The other one of us (Jesse) testified to the tremendous level of commitment and sacrifice that has become both a routine and necessary part of being a Philadelphia educator. Jesse declared it "shameful" that the caretakers of such a challenged system would make a calculated attack on teachers, and accuse us of not "sharing in the sacrifice," rather than standing beside those of us on the frontlines committing our lives to providing our students a worthwhile education.
Two weeks later, we each received the same email from the SRC's Chief of Staff. Chairman Green was interested in meeting with us, individually, to discuss our "concerns and [our] experiences as a teacher."
It is not often that you are given the opportunity to meet individually with the person who essentially is our boss's boss's boss.
We turned the meeting down.
To be clear – we love the idea of having a School District leader who genuinely listens to teachers. Just like teachers should listen to students and families, it is essential for the leadership of an urban school system to be responsive to the people who actually work within the individual classrooms.
We think it is extremely important for the School District to take teacher perspectives into account when it comes to school conditions, employment policies, and other ways in which the School District influences the circumstances in which teachers work.
We are also aware that all of these things – school conditions, employment policies, and the circumstances in which teachers work – are part of the teachers' contract. The same contract which the District has refused to negotiate, and recently threw in the dumpster.
And Chairman Green expects us to go behind our union's back, to discuss the same issues he has refused to engage with our leadership about? We will not.
We don't know Chairman Green's motivations in calling a meeting with us. We can't, since he declined to respond to our questions asking what he wanted to discuss. However, we refuse to take part in any action which might seek to divide or undermine our union, especially as we are calling on the District to negotiate with our union leadership.
Since Chairman Green refused to let us know his intentions in meeting with us, allow us to set forward one possibility. The two of us have something in common: we are new teachers. This distinguishes us from the other WE members who testified on October 16th – none of whom received the same invitation.
So why would Chairman Green want to meet with us? We fear that he might have in mind the day when he could say the following: "I recently met with some teachers – good, hard-working teachers, the kind we need more of in this District. But if we keep the old teacher tenure laws of the teachers' contract, then these teachers are in danger of losing their jobs."
So in case that is indeed Mr. Green's message, allow us to say that, while we do care deeply about our jobs, we care even more about the job – restoring teaching as a viable, supported, and respected career option.
As new teachers, we believe wholeheartedly that experience matters to educators. Research as well as anecdotal evidence overwhelmingly bears this out. We want to work in a system that cultivates the profession of teaching – protecting and supporting teachers in order to make all teachers as effective as possible, rather than scapegoating them for problems and undermining their job security and working conditions.
Meanwhile, those oft-demonized protections like tenure amount to a requirement of due process – a necessary protection for teachers like us, who wish to remain politically active in advocating for stronger schools, against vindictive leaders. Further, in a school system where rampant teacher turnover is dwarfed by catastrophic levels of principal turnover, these policies protect teachers from attacks by inexperienced principals with little understanding of classroom instruction or effective practices. We unequivocally stand in support of these protections for our colleagues.
We stand ready to engage in public dialogue with Chairman Green as soon as he concludes his negotiations with our union leadership. In the meantime, if Chairman Green truly believes in being responsive and democratic, we encourage him to vote to dissolve the SRC and replace it with a democratically elected school board which will have no choice but to listen to the will of our city.
[In refusing our meeting with Chairman Green, we were joined by the other WE members who testified on October 16th, and released an open letter with support from the Caucus.]

What is ALEC and how do they influence education "reform?"
If you have been reading or watching any news over the past few years, you have probably heard the name ALEC. Who or what is ALEC and why are they so interested in education "reform" in Pennsylvania and across the country?
ALEC stands for the American Legislative Exchange Council. This organization has an 8 million dollar annual budget that they use to write a "library" of sample bills that they want passed in as many states as they can influence. Outlets like the Center for Media and Democracy rightly call them a "corporate bill mill".
Even if you are not quite sure what ALEC is, you have likely heard of some of their most popular legislation: "Stand Your Ground" laws, "Parent Trigger" bills, and voter ID requirements are some of ALEC's most wide-spread and anti-democratic offerings.
These bills have been made law in many states, and some are currently rearing their ugly heads in Pennsylvania.
Education advocates believe that ALEC is now interested in the "reforming" of public education because there is much money to be made for private businesses as more schools are turned over to management companies and for-profit businesses receive tax breaks for funding private schools (through vouchers and tax credits).
The parent trigger bills, for example, allow a small part of a community to vote to turn-over its public school to a for-profit operator—most of these bills allow 180 days to undo a public institution that has served a community for many years.
Philadelphia's own State Senator (and possible Philadelphia mayoral candidate) Anthony Hardy Williams—a charter school proponent, and also a failed charter-school operator--has sponsored just such a bill in Pennsylvania.
Another way to make sure public schools are turned over to private companies is to ease the charter school authorizing rules and regulations. In these ALEC-sponsored bills, authority to approve new charters is removed from local agencies such as school boards and school districts and given to the state itself, or other institutions such as universities. This forces districts to pay for schools they did not authorize and cannot afford and steals much-needed funding from true public schools.
Unfortunately, many Pennsylvania politicians have been taken in by ALEC's anti-democratic agenda. Some are receiving campaign contributions from ALEC-sponsored PACs in order to bring ALEC's agenda to our state, and some are members of ALEC or are simply sponsoring ALEC's bills. What follows is a short list of ALEC-influenced politicians and their organizational allies in Pennsylvania. Some of these politicians have accepted tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars from ALEC-affiliated groups.
- Sen. John Eichelberger (R-30)
- Sen. Lloyd Smucker (R-13)
- Rep. Warren Kampf (R-157)
- Sen. Anthony Williams (D-8)
- Rep. Fred Keller (R-85)
- Rep. Garth Everett (R-84)
- Rep. Daryl Metcalfe (R-12)
- Re. Matt Baker (R-68)
- Sen. Stewart Greenleaf (R-34)
- Rep. Scott Perry (R-4)
Additionally, here's a list of ALEC-influenced power players in Pennsylvania:
- Charter school guru and big Corbett contributor Vahan Gureghian
- Cyber Schools (especially K-12, Inc.)
- American Federation of Children and Students First PACs
- The Commonwealth Foundation
- Susquehanna International Group
Thanks to the Center for Media and Democracy for its extensive and interesting report. We suggest you read the whole report for a comprehensive understanding of ALEC's reach in Pennsylvania.
Keeping My Contract on Halloween
By Anissa Weinraub
For the past couple weeks, my school has been buzzing with buildup to Halloween. It is a tradition at the Academy @ Palumbo to host a "Parade of Horrors" -- where students get a chance to strut in front of their peers (i.e. the ENTIRE student body) in their costumes and compete for prizes. And they got into it today -- in terms of the creativity and playfulness of the costumed contestants, as well as the extreme positivity and support pouring from the audience of their peers. In what may seem like an anomaly from the usual depiction of Philly teenagers, this morning our auditorium was filled with hundreds of screaming youth, all focused on celebrating one another.
Convention Preview: Social Justice Unionism
In advance of our first annual convention on Saturday, November 8th, we're previewing some of the day's sessions on our blog. This preview comes from Amy Roat, who works at Feltonville School of Arts and Sciences and will be leading the session on Social Justice Unionism.
Many teachers consider themselves committed to social justice in their classrooms, but don't connect that to their union. Why do these two things go together?
You've been quoted by practically every news publication in Philadelphia, and the New York Times, too. Many people are in awe of your work, but might feel intimidated by all that you do. Can you describe what the first steps are to becoming a more outspoken union member?
A year ago in August, PFT Communications Director George Jackson called me a few days before school. Our local Fox News was looking for a regular teacher to speak about the tragic cuts we were facing in 2014. I was recommended by my staffer who had to listen to a lot of my views at the monthly Building Rep Meetings. I was terrified of sounding dumb and nearly balked. George had a PR guy call to prep me and talk me into it. after we talked for a bit he said, "Hey, you're the expert, you know what you're saying and you sound knowledgeable and sincere. You can do it."
Based on your experience, what's one change that you think people should make to improve how their union operates in their building?
The teachers in my school are friends - We go to happy hour. We eat cake when someone has a birthday. We have a shower if someone gets married or has a baby. If someone is sick, we ask after them. If someone needs a ride, we drive them. This is how we build our relationships and our school-based union. We actively include new members. They become family.
When there is discord, peace-makers step up. It is a labor, but it is a labor of love.
Change the way you think about THE union. The union is not just the people who work on Chestnut Street. We are the union. The teachers in this school. We meet monthly, including, secretaries, counselors, paras and the nurse. We talk to the principal as a Building Committee about our mutual concerns and possible solutions. We develop our own game plan for pickets or actions. Together. No one on Chestnut Street needs to tell us what, when, why or how we do it. We are professional, we do it all together because we are THE union!
Amy is just one of many Caucus members who will be sharing her wisdom and skills at the convention. Register now and learn more from her on November 8th!
The Caucus Guide to Getting Out The Vote
- Early in the week, talk with your colleagues about how your school can GOTV in your community! Discuss quick points of interest to tell families about what resources have been missing from your school, what is needed, and how voting can help public education and democracy in our city.
- Make plans for a neighborhood canvass around your building any day before election day.
- On Wednesday, 10/29, help PCAPS complete their "voter pledge card" campaign by helping them stamp and mail postcards to Philadelphia voters at the Fight for Philly office (846 N. Broad Street)
- On Thursday, 10/30, participate in a phone bank with PFT members.
- On Friday, 10/31, hold a special edition of Full Funding Friday urging parents, families, and passersby to GOTV!
- Take a moment to do a teach-in with your kids on the importance of voting. Send a letter home encouraging parents to continue the lesson by taking their kids with them to vote on the big day!
- If you want to do some direct work on your own time, contact Wolf for PA's Regional Director in Philadelphia, Stephen Ekema-Agbaw at firstname.lastname@example.com or call at 570-854-0499 to coordinate plans with the Wolf Campaign.

In 2014 my guy was involved in an accident of pure bad luck.
He fell from a 20ft bridge that left him paralysed, one side of shattered ribs and a punctured lung.
The punctured lung has since healed, the ribs... Well, let's just say they're in pieces but holding together, but the non-walking part and the other complications that come from being paralysed (such as daily nerve pain and other things I won't mention here) are here to live with and deal with each day.
While we look to make the very most and best out of this 'Plan B' life of ours (Plan A was to emigrate to New Zealand, get married on the Cooke Islands and live happily ever after), some days are TOUGH.
This Patron page is a place to share those stories... The good, the tough, the everything in between of this new life. They aim to share a little glimmer of hope when the very worst happens.
I receive the most beautiful and kind messages off the back of sharing them, and now for those who want to help/support further, here via this Patron page is how you can.
Here you get to choose the level of support you're happy to offer, and in return you receive the stories I share of me and my guy each month.
You'll also receive the knowing that you're supporting us and two people who've been dealt a shitty blow but making the very most of it anyway.
Doing so will help take away the strain when times are tough (like last year when my guy was emergency rushed to hospital with sepsis), where I can then really be with him if/when needed instead of worrying about work and making sure we're ok financially still.
So is this 'expected'? No way, never... But it is most gracefully, gratefully and lovingly received. Knowing you have us is EVERYTHING.
I've decided not to add extra 'stuff' as some do via Patron pages depending on your level of support each month - this isn't about that. However know these are my three goals:
- To look after him/us. Hitting my first goal here will mean if he's sick for a day/week/longer... WE'LL BE OK. I can be there as needed without the worry/stress of work on top too and simply take care of what's most important.
- Expenses these days are higher - they just are. Reaching my second goal would mean there's more SPACE, time to have a break which would just be utterly delicious. Essentially, it would allow more time to just be and breathe and enjoy and amongst work and caring.
- Medical STUFF. Wow. Let's just say things needed these days, they add up. While our NHS is amazing not everything is covered. More money would mean we'd be able to explore all the options available to see if we can deal with and combat the levels of pain my guy deals with each day, which quite simply would change EVERYTHING.
In advance, thank you - with the biggest of love and the stories which are about to become yours...
YOU'RE IN. YOU'VE GOT Us
...Thank you.
Thank you. The little difference makes a BIG difference.
Know you supporting us here starts to buy breathing space to just be and breathe and enjoy in amongst all the other daily 'STUFF' (which is totally PRICELESS).
Thank you. Know here you're contributing to my guy getting seen by doctors and specialists to help deal with his pain (and other unmentioned things) as best we can.
The fact that you're here and supporting us in this way is... EVERYTHING. Almost beyond words kind of everything. Being here allows us to get some hands on help so we're not doing it all solo.
What happens once I pledge?
In your emails you'll receive two things... 1. A receipt of your monthly pledge. 2. A link to confirm you're happy to receive emails from me. Confirming yes you are will allow me to send you the stories I share. Your email won't be used/shared for anything else.
Talk to me about the monthly pledges...
Via the email receipt you receive, you'll also be able to log in online to your payment info where you can change/cancel your patron support at any time so you're always in control.
How will I receive stories/updates?
Once you confirm you're happy to receive emails from me (via the link when you pledge), this is how I'll share them with you.
I've got another question, how can I get in touch?
Any questions, I'm at email@example.com.

Froggy Fresh
The internet tells a legend of a kid named Froggy Fresh who fought a great white shark and mastered Youtube. These are but a few of his vast accomplishments, which include being endorsed by John Cena and featured on Tosh.0 but also being a good best friend and recovering neighborhood kids stolen bikes. Formerly known as Krispy Kreme, a cease and desist rendered a fan-voted name change and the name 'Froggy Fresh' was chosen over 'Jelly Bean Jack'. Enduring a naming, branding, and content change, Money Maker (Re-Loaded), still debuted and peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Comedy Album chart. After 5 years of being shrouded in mystery, Froggy Fresh has embarked on a live tour throughout the US featuring Money Maker Mike, video projections, and a live DJ. Catch the "Baddest of them All" live while you still can.
Boy Pierce
Boy Pierce is an independent American hip hop artist living in New York City. His venture into music production escalated in college, at the University of Delaware where he created intricate mashups and distributed them to college friends. Following graduation, Pierce moved to Philadelphia, where he wrote, recorded, and performed. Since dropping his mixtape The Bootleg in 2011, Pierce has performed at several shows in Philadelphia, New York City, and DC. His music videos Boy Pierce Raps Over Everything and RÉSUMÉ gained much attention from Philadelphia radio station WXPN. His "Hindsight" music video and sophomore album Various Dreams were self-released in 2013. In late 2013, Pierce moved to New York City to further pursue his musical aspirations. In 2015, his "NBA On NBC" song and video went viral, earning press on The Big Lead, Barstool Sports, and The Chicago Tribune. He self-released his EP Moments in 2016 and in 2017 debuted a series of "Ultimate Tributes," paying homage to hip hop legends Eminem, The Notorious B.I.G., and Outkast. He recently collaborated with RAQ/Electric Beethoven keyboardist Todd Stoops with "Festival Song" and his "Ultimate Phish Tribute" went viral, earning press on JamBase and Live For Live Music. And, for the holiday season, Pierce paid homage to Home Alone with the "Ultimate Home Alone Tribute" and his recent Seinfeld Tribute gained a shoutout from George Costanza himself, Jason Alexander. His new studio album Homemade just debuted, which features Nerdcore and "lit-hop" pioneer MC Lars, as well as underground hip hop icon Esoteric of CZARFACE and 7L & Esoteric.

Ever wish your transformer figures could look exactly the way they did in the old cartoons? Well, now they can thanks to one creative Ebayer. These cell shaded figures have the shine and shimmer that you remember from the original G1 cartoons.
If you're a rich geek, you'll drool over this 7.5 foot tall Transformers Bumblebee figure. This lifesize replica is made of recycled scrap metal. This sculpture took 4 months to create and is exquisitely detailed. The only thing that would make it better is if it could transform and "roll out"!

He founded the city Hyu York and created a "paradise on earth" in the vast new continent. Where was he to think about the length and configuration of its members and to compare it to a member of the neighbor?

You Can't Quantify The Unquantifiable
I stole the picture below from YouGov.
A new YouGov study reveals exactly how positively and negatively the population perceives various descriptions to be.
YouGov showed respondents a selection of adjectives from a list of 24 and asked [a group of about 1,000–2,000 Britons] to score each on a scale from 0-10, with 0 being "very negative" and 10 being "very positive".
Study the picture for a moment.
Even more important for us is a second picture at their site which compares average responses of Britons and Americans. There are many differences: abysmal had a difference (by my eye) of about 1.5; others were smaller. But even the small ones represent mean differences, meaning there is some variability in the differences, which they didn't picture.
Now the picture above smacks of "density estimates", which I won't explain, but think of it as a way to make fancy histograms. It (over-)smooths the actual results. (I was in grad school when smoothing methods were going to save the world.) Ignore that twist. It's clear enough that substantial variation exists for each word.
It's true there is little overlap in scores in words at the extremes, such as perfect and appalling. Nobody I know who speaks English would ever confuse these words. Then I don't know a lot of people. The vocabulary of benighted college students is particularly thin these days, so one never knows.
The point is this. That the variance seen is in no way unusual or unexpected, not in the different "scores" given the individual words nor in the differences in the scores by country. Of course, the so-called country differences could be partly genuine (they speak a weird English over there) and partly no different than if you were to take just the Britons and split them in two using whatever marker you like. In other words, it's another measure of variation.
The differences within in any word are well withing the differences touted in wee-p research. Meaning, of course, that many of the results touted to be caused by theories favored by the researchers could just as well be caused by different understandings on the words. Yes, even with these variabilities differences in means between words can exist, but there is no proof this comes about because of the theory or because of the differences in understanding.
Attempting quantification of unquantifiable mental states and feels is far too common.
How much do you agree with this assessment on a scale of -42 to 3 in increments of 1/e before -10 and 1/pi after it, though those in Britain, may use mostly whole numbers.

one of your most perfectly abysmal posts ever….
Examining the chart, one in particular stands out. This exceptional word is "average". It appears to be a nearly perfect mean, in the center of the chart, with tiny, well balanced deviations.
> "Attempting quantification of unquantifiable mental states and feels is far too common"
Sounds like most subjective priors to me. I'm still interested in a coherent & constructive definition of a logical prior. Data priors we all like…
The distribution calculations show that a goodly proportion of folks, decent or better that is, scored words greater than 10. Hmmm.
It's true there is little overlap in scores in words at the extremes, such as perfect and appalling. Nobody I know who speaks English would ever confuse these words.
I wonder what perfectly appalling and appallingly perfect might mean.
Do I detect a tiny negative blip in the distribution for 'awesome'. As in 'I find the crass, witless scientific illiteracy of the BBC awesome'. I also wonder what the distribution for 'crass' and witless' might be. Just a thought.
There are many words in English that have fuzzy meanings. Take cold, cool, warm and hot. What temperature ranges might they mean?
Years ago during a winter, my airplane partner and I flew to Florida to pick up an airplane. On the way back we stopped at a place a bit north of Daytona to have lunch with a friend of ours who had moved there about a year before to be the airport manager. When our friend came to lunch he was wearing a t-shirt, flannel shirt, sweater, a fleece coat, scarf and gloves. After lunch, he invited us to use the phone in his office to call Flight Service so we "didn't have to call while outside in the cold." We explained to him that when we had left that morning, it was 5 below zero and 75 wasn't cold. His office had three running quartz heaters.
So, when someone tells you it's cold outside, what do they mean?
The graphs seem to indicate responses from -1 to 11. But no doubt that is an artifact of the smoothing method. If, for some reason I can't fathom, one were to take this business seriously, one would need to get hold of the raw data.
Words can't be quantified, except by extremes or difference, or by contrast, which isn't really quantifying but ordering, sequencing by comparison then applying numbers afterwards. Hence,
"compare and contrast" from non scientific essays.
The word abysmal gets negative points because of it's 'juiciness in the second syllable, where it dips to a low.
Like 'DISmal.
Although for exQUISite, it works the other way for the same reason. Unless you say all three words one after the other! Then exQUISite sounds sarcastic! Anyway, I've gone off that word, it's got creepy connotations. Just so happens it's used in medical terminology to explain certain things and people don't understand if their mind is in the dustbin.
I'm adding to a growing list of words that need debriefing, in the military sense.
They are top secret words and cannot be revealed.
Why isn't the word "fair" in that list? Fair is one of the politicians favorite words. Politicians are always going to make things fair.
IS certainty of a proposition quantifiable? This is something I don't get about Briggs' interpretation of probability. I lean towards the frequentist interpretation and I believe unpacking of certainty would ultimately require invoking frequentist interpretation at some point.
It's a circular situation, quantifying certainty in a proposition, even given 'some evidence'. Or it's a hall of mirrors or some other analogy.
You either know or you don't. If you're not sure, numbers ain't gonna help. The uncertainty is objective, the quantification is subjective, or it would be certain! So it can't be described as a final quantity. Just described.
So the hard sums look like a smoke screen, or a placebo. Not contrived deliberately, it's just the way it looks.

- Clothing brand Boohoo is going viral after sharing what many saw as unphotoshopped images of their models.
- Although they've retouched photos in the past, this time, it appears the models' stretch marks haven't been edited out.
- People are taking to Twitter to celebrate this new development, although it's unclear whether or not the brand will continue this practice in the future.
As Allure pointed out this week, major clothing brand Boohoo is going viral after sharing what appear to be unretouched images of their models, stretch marks and all, and the internet is celebrating what they see as a major step towards body positivity.
Last week, a customer named Cheryl Adele shared the images after finding them on the website, pointing out how awesome it is that Boohoo quietly started showing their models as many women really are, since real people aren't airbrushed in real life.
"I find this so amazing! That even on a massive clothing brand like Boohoo they haven't photoshopped away the models stretch marks!" she wrote. "This is what girl power is all about! And every woman has imperfections. It shouldn't be photoshopped away to give unrealistic expectations! It's what makes us who we are! It's reality."
Adele is far from the only woman celebrating this move. Now that the photo is making the rounds (and has amassed over 100,000 likes on Facebook), others are turning to Twitter to share their own praise for Boohoo.
Boohoo isn't the only brand who's shirked the idea that Photoshop is necessary in order to sell clothes. According to Teen Vogue, Modcloth, Aerie, and Target have all stopped retouching their models, even in swimsuit photos.
INSIDER has reached out to Boohoo for comment if they'll continue the trend but did not immediately receive a response.

Evacuating the coast of South Carolina ahead of the predicted landfall of Hurricane Floyd in 1999 led to a monumental traffic jam. Traffic slowed to a standstill on Interstate I-26, which is the principal route going inland from Charleston to the relatively safe haven of Columbia in the center of the state. What is normally an easy two-hour drive took up to 18 hours to complete. Many cars simply ran out of gas along the way. Fortunately, Floyd turned north and spared the state this time, but the public outcry is forcing state officials to find ways to avoid a repeat of this traffic nightmare.
The principal proposal put forth to deal with this problem is the reversal of traffic on I-26, so that both sides, including the coastal-bound lanes, have traffic headed inland from Charleston to Columbia. Plans to carry this out have been prepared (and posted on the Web) by the South Carolina Emergency Preparedness Division. Traffic reversal on principal roads leading inland from Myrtle Beach and Hilton Head is also planned.
A simplified map of South Carolina is shown. Charleston has approximately 500,000 people, Myrtle Beach has about 200,000 people, and another 250,000 people are spread out along the rest of the coastal strip. (More accurate data, if sought, are widely available.)
The interstates have two lanes of traffic in each direction except in the metropolitan areas where they have three. Columbia, another metro area of around 500,000 people, does not have sufficient hotel space to accommodate the evacuees (including some coming from farther north by other routes), so some traffic continues outbound on I-26 towards Spartanburg; on I-77 north to Charlotte; and on I-20 east to Atlanta. In 1999, traffic leaving Columbia going northwest was moving only very slowly. Construct a model for the problem to investigate what strategies may reduce the congestion observed in 1999. Here are the questions that need to be addressed:
Clearly identify what measures of performance are used to compare strategies.

You want the best for your dog, and that includes finding the right type of collar for them. Since they will wear it often, you want something that is comfortable, but also safe and secure. Here are the best collars for most dogs as well as which collars you may want to stay away from.
Tagged With collars
In the US over seven million pets go missing every year, and less than 5 per cent of lost cats are reported and returned home. This ratio is likely comparable in Australia. When your indoor kitty gets a little too curious and darts outside, a collar might be the only thing that can help it come home.

and Local Holidays.
Step 1:
Bring the striped half up over the blue field.
Step 2: Then fold it in half again.
Step 3: Bring the lower striped corner to the upper edge
forming a triangle.
Step 4: Then fold the upper point in to form another
triangle. Continue until the entire length of the flag
is folded.
Step 5: When you get near the end - nothing but the blue
field showing - tuck the last bit into the other folds
to secure it.
At military funerals the honor guard pays meticulous
attention to correctly folding the American flag 13
times. Why is that? Each fold of the U.S. flag has an
important meaning.
1. The first fold of our flag is a symbol of life.
2. The second fold is a symbol of our belief in eternal
3. The third fold is made in honor and remembrance of
the veterans departing our ranks who gave a portion of
their lives for the defense of our country to attain
peace throughout the world.
4. The fourth fold represents our weaker nature, for as
American citizens trusting in God, it is to Him we turn
in times of peace as well as in time of war for His
divine guidance.
5. The fifth fold is a tribute to our country, for in
the words of Stephen Decatur, "Our Country, in dealing
with other countries, may she always be right; but it is
still our country, right or wrong."
6. The sixth fold is for where our hearts lie. It is
with our heart that we pledge allegiance to the flag of
the United States of America, and to the Republic for
which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with
Liberty and Justice for all.
7. The seventh fold is a tribute to our Armed Forces,
for it is through the Armed Forces that we protect our
country and our flag against all her enemies, whether
they are found within or without the boundaries of our
8. The eighth fold is a tribute to the one who entered
into the valley of the shadow of death, that we might
see the light of day, and to honor mother, for whom it
flies on Mother's Day.
9. The ninth fold is a tribute to womanhood; for it has
been through their faith, their love, loyalty and
devotion that the character of the men and women who
have made this country great has been molded.
10. The tenth fold is a tribute to the father, for he,
too, has given his sons and daughters for the defense of
our country since they were first born.
11. The eleventh fold, in the eyes of a Hebrew citizen
represents the lower portion of the seal of King David
and King Solomon, and glorifies in their eyes, the God
of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
12. The twelfth fold, in the eyes of a Christian
citizen, represents an emblem of eternity and glorifies,
in their eyes, God the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit.
13. When the flag is completely folded, the stars are
uppermost reminding us of our nation's motto, "In God We
Trust". After the flag is completely folded and tucked
in, it takes on the appearance of a cocked hat, ever
reminding us of the soldiers who served under General
George Washington, and the sailors and marines who
served under Captain John Paul Jones. Those who were
followed by their comrades and shipmates in the Armed
Forces of the United States, preserving for us the
rights, privileges, and freedoms we enjoy today.
Important Flag Facts
Below are
important flag facts that everyone should know...
The flag should never be dipped to any person or
thing. It is flown upside down only as a distress
The flag should not be used as a drapery, or for
covering a speakers desk, draping a platform, or for
any decoration in general. Bunting of blue, white
and red stripes is available for these purposes. The
blue stripe of the bunting should be on the top.
The flag should never be used for any
advertising purpose. It should not be embroidered,
printed or otherwise impressed on such articles as
cushions, handkerchiefs, napkins, boxes, or anything
intended to be discarded after temporary use.
Advertising signs should not be attached to the
staff or halyard.
The flag should not be used as part of a costume
or athletic uniform, except that a flag patch may be
used on the uniform of military personnel, fireman,
policeman and members of patriotic organizations.
The flag should never have placed on it, or
attached to it, any mark, insignia, letter, word,
number, figure, or drawing of any kind.
The flag should never be used as a receptacle
for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering
When the flag is lowered, no part of it should touch the
ground or any other object; it should be received by
waiting hands and arms. To store the flag it should be
folded neatly and ceremoniously.
The flag should be cleaned and mended when necessary.
When a flag is so worn it is no longer fit to serve as a
symbol of our country, it should be destroyed by burning
in a dignified manner.
Note: Most American Legion Posts regularly conduct a
dignified flag burning ceremony, often on Flag Day, June
14th. Contact your local American Legion Hall and
inquire about the availability of this service.
Displaying The Flag Outdoors
When the flag is displayed from a staff projecting from
a window, balcony, or a building, the union should be at
the peak of the staff unless the flag is at half staff.
When it is displayed from the same flagpole with another
flag - of a state, community, society or Scout unit -
the flag of the United States must always be at the top
except that the church pennant may be flown above the
flag during church services for Navy personnel when
conducted by a Naval chaplain on a ship at sea.
When the flag is displayed over a street, it should be
hung vertically, with the union to the north or east. If
the flag is suspended over a sidewalk, the flag's union
should be farthest from the building.

This is a short video demonstrating why E-Portfolios should be used in our classes at L.I.T, and how they can positively impact our students and their futures!
I created this video with the goal of showing my leaders, colleagues, students, and upper administrative personnel exactly how beneficial e-portfolios can be for our students. I want them to understand that creating and using e-portfolios within our classrooms can positively impact our students learning experience as well as their futures. My goal was to personalize this video specifically to LIT students and employees to demonstrate the benefits they can receive. I want people to understand that these e-portfolios are not just another technology trend, or teaching fad, but instead, they are an actual useful tool that can help our students, at our school, with their real life problems.
I wanted to capture the heartache that I hear each semester. I have some truly amazing, extremely knowledgeable, hard-working students that should never have a problem getting a job, stressed out because they do not have any "experience". I have been in those same shoes before. I too graduated from LIT with an associate's in Instrumentation. My last semester of school, I had interview after interview. I had managed to get through school with a 4.0, and an abundance of recommendations from instructors; however, I did not have the "experience". How was I supposed to portray this? How do you explain to someone what you have learned in school for two years while keeping your resume concise and neat? I want to help our students solve this problem. I honestly believe this struggle can be eliminated through the implementation of e-portfolios, all while gaining so much more!
I originally thought about setting up a mock interview with someone being rejected, then showing students performing lab activities and documenting their work on e-portfolios, then having another mock interview, where the prospective employer actually pulls up the students e-portfolio and reads through the lab summaries and learning activities while questioning the student, and in turn, hires the student; however, due to the time limit we were given, I could not do all of this and cover the other added benefits that e-portfolios can offer our students.
Although I kept the career placement as my main focus, I changed exactly how I would portray this struggle to better allow me to capture the benefits of student collaboration, engagement, networking, communication, and career placement.
I really wanted to have my actual students working in our lab settings at school in my video, but the timing was not in my favor. I went to LIT and borrowed a few lab coats, hard hats, and a few pieces of lab equipment that I could wire up to create a simple lab experiment.
I asked my cousin, niece, and nephew to stand in and be fill in students for my lab video… I have GREAT family!
I used Movie Maker to create my video. I created text slides for my rejection quotes that too many students get tired of hearing at the beginning of my video. I imported the lab video next to show how my students really do get hands-on experience. We actually wire things and make motors, lights, pumps, valves, actuators, and more function properly. There is danger involved in our labs just like there is danger involved in the field. I want our students to be able to relate that information to potential employers! I then added photos from the royalty free website Graphic Stock
to demonstrate the extra benefits of creating a space to house your work, having the capability of real-time feedback with people in your class, as well as people across the world, and the ability to take it with you when you graduate and use it as long as you would like. After all of my photos were inserted, I began to record narrations of what my photos were symbolizing.
I decided to record my narrations in sections so I would not have to re-record the entire video if one part messed up. Although that was a benefit, it also came with a negative. I fought with lining up the timings on the narration recordings and photos for a while!
I then created the slide transitions so my photos were not just flashing one right after the other, and included some animations to make the movie more appealing to the viewer. When I had all of those timings down, I then added my music from FMA. After numerous trial runs tweaking the timing, volumes, and animations, I was finally satisfied with my end result!
Below you will find a few more photos of my work space and the tools I used to create the finished product of my video.
