Produktinformationen zu "Accelerating The Learning Of All Students (eBook / ePub)"Isn't acceleration just for gifted kids? This is a common assumption when we think about who benefits from efforts to accelerate student learning. For generations, students identified as gifted have been separated from other students and provided enriched learning opportunities many adults believe would be wasted on other students. More recently, in response to failed efforts to remediate low-achieving students, the term has been extended to efforts to reverse the negative effects of grade retention for many low-achieving students. The most promising application of the term involves efforts to extend the curriculum and instruction usually reserved for gifted students to all students.Accelerating the Learning of All Students: Cultivating Culture Change in Schools, Classrooms, and Individuals explores the multiple applications of the term "e;acceleration"e; and the assumptions that shape schools, classrooms, and individuals that encourage and discourage efforts to accelerate the learning of all students. This book begins with an exploration of the multiple definitions of acceleration, examining the social and historical context that led to an emphasis on labeling and sorting students. Descriptions of exemplary programs geared to each group of students provide useful ideas for addressing special needs of students. These descriptions also illustrate the wisdom of providing a rich, challenging learning experience to all students rather than focussing on separating them for special instruction. The book proceeds to explore the conditions in schools and classrooms that facilitate or hinder efforts to accelerate learning of all students. Focusing on the importance of changing individuals' assumptions about students, adult roles in schools, acceptable educational practices, appropriate communication patterns and the value of change, the book ends with a challenge to all of us to assume responsibility for making schools a better place for all students.

authors who bring a wealth of experiences to this topic, Christine Finnan and Julie D. Swanson draw on their own research and experience and on current research to provide a much-needed exploration of issues surrounding efforts to effectively educate all students. Accelerating the Learning of All Students provides hope to all citizens and educators that the dismal history of educating low-income students can be turned around, and that all students can be provided the rich, engaging educational experience that has historically been reserved only for those identified as gifted.

Pleiades Hack Day
So what remains is to see who would be willing to devote at least a couple of hours (if not a whole day) to this enterprise and to fix a day for it. You don't need to be an expert to help with this job. Anyone interested at all in ancient geography who has basic web skills and can get on the internet at the scheduled time should be able to make a substantive contribution, whether they are a student, a scholar or an interested "layperson".
If you're interested, leave a comment on my blog and I'll send you a link to a doodle poll to do the scheduling.

A couple of people have written privately to ask (reasonably) "what's a hack day?" The term comes out of software development (particularly open source). You can read a bit about that here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hack_Day
In this particular case, what I mean is a time for anyone interested to get together and work on improving not so much the pleiades software as the content. So the idea is that I'll try to set aside everything else in my schedule -- and I'll encourage other Pleiades key team members to do the same -- and we'll be standing ready to help any and all Pleiades community members who want to make changes or additions to content. Community members needn't devote an entire day to the effort, but at least a couple of hours will be needed to make a significant contribution I suspect.
The main focus I'm proposing for this first 'Pleiades hack day' is to improve titles and descriptions for "prominent" or well-known places.
Does that help explain things?

Emily and Alex's wedding featured not just one wedding celebration, but two, each with it's own unique feeling for this lovely Atlanta couple. Emily, the owner of a Emily Amy, a contemporary art gallery, planned a small, intimate ceremony for Friday evening, followed by a sweet Southern celebration at her new husband's family's home on Saturday. A beautiful way to celebrate indeed!
Emily spent a relaxing Friday morning getting ready with her parents. And while I think it is always fun to have the bride get ready with her bridesmaids, these pictures of Emily spending her wedding morning getting ready with her parents made me tear up!
After getting ready with her parents, Emily met Alex for a quiet moment and a few pictures. Instead of waiting for the ceremony, a lot of couples are now choosing to do a "first look." It is a nice opportunity to share an intimate moment before all of the commotion begins.
Emily and Alex held their wedding ceremony underneath an outdoor pavilion at The Atlanta Contemporary Art Center.
After the small, intimate ceremony everyone headed to Bacchanalia for a private dinner.
The next day featured bright skys and a crisp fall day for their casual, Southern-influenced reception.
For the party, Emily and Alex chose simple touches that played upon the Southern style of their surroundings. The flower arrangements and decor gave a nod to their beautiful setting without being overpowering.
Dennis Dean Catering cooked up a mouth watering feast featuring Southern staples using locally-sourced ingredients.
Thanks so much to Emily and Alex for allowing us to show their beautiful pictures from their special weekend. And, thank you to the photographers, Ben & Colleen for sharing their work!

Todays card I made when I went to the NEC in November using the Tim Holtz dies and embossing folders. Love the idea of brayering gesso over the embossed parts to highlight the flakes and then adding glitter for a smidge of bling, really simple but effective.
Have a wonderful holiday

Alchemic furnace blazing white
with swarms of orbs that go your way
You shine the light, you hide the night
O central sphere, O star of day.
O iron skillet, how you fry!
For lack of heat you need not fear;
You're bleached and baked and hot and dry;
Your day is longer than your year.
Though Mother's twin, she's very dead;
no speck of life on her can dwell;
a greenhouse hot as molten lead;
You call that love? I call it Hell.
O lovely one of brown and green
and blue and white; a shiny pearl;
at last I've seen where I have been;
my home, my love, my life, my world.
Your mountain climbs beyond your sky,
O ruddy little brother.
Some look at you with farmer's eye;
Some hope you host Another.
The greatest ever wandering one
with orbs around him in a ring
and bands and storms upon him spun;
Not quite a star, but yes, a king.
O jeweled giant, so sublime!
A spectacle to astound to!
The angels blessed you with this sign;
They parked their haloes around you.
O gassy giant, why so blue?
On you I'd choke and buckle;
You rotate sideways, all askew;
Your name makes children chuckle.
O gassy twin of deeper blue
You roll upright, I see;
You sport a spot of darkish hue;
Your tune is from the sea.
With ferry-man partner, whirling go
Your sun's a star, your plains are new
Your water's rock, your air is snow
Dear distant death-dwarf, I love you.
Comment by Quark:
Perhaps this is about the poet's community.
The first is the King;
The second is his overworked cook;
The third is a fallen woman;
The fourth is the poet's wife;
The fifth is the poet's scheming younger brother;
The sixth is a baron;
The seventh is his ornamented duchess;
The eighth is a constipated knight;
The ninth is his sailor brother;
The tenth is a mortician.
Comment by Hellerstein:
This is about the solar system: respectively the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.

What is At the Gallows you may ask? Well, it is my upcoming scenario for Blades of Exile. Although I won't reveal too much yet, I will reveal the basic part of the storyline. It is the year 1250 for the Empire (about 400 years after the Avernum/Exile Trilogies for a frame of reference). The greatest nation that ever existed is experiencing a golden age of prosperity. The Empire's wealth and power reaches to every corner of the planet.
History books tell of the Empire being an omnipotent tyrannical force. However, the days of true authoritarianism have long since expired. Now the Empire is governed by several smaller sectors overseen by the central government at the heart of Pralgad. The hostilities of past have long been forgotten and peace (for the most part) has reigned supreme for over a century.
And yet the Empire still maintains a large military of well trained soldiers, mages, and priests. Its function is mostly two-fold now. One is internal security and the other is ceremony. The great wars and conflicts are now a things of the past. Being soldiers in the Empire means routine and more routine. Only the lucky truly ever experience real action these days.
But your luck may be changing soon. After spending two years as soldiers in an agricultural sector in Pralgad, you may finally see some conflict. The past few months have been witness to the rise of a strange group of cultists. At first the Empire ignored these as mere deviants. However, the band has increased in size and ferocity.
|An epic battle against a mighty sorceror
So, your superiors have decided to assign your group, of all the others available, to suppliment the guard of a town that has recently come under assault. Up until now, the cultist's activities have been limited to raiding a few of the local farms or even looting shops. You doubt this new turn will produce much more excitement.
However, when the cultists launch a full-scale attack on the town, everyone is caught off guard. Nobody thought that they had the courage nor the strength to do something so brash. And so here you are within a massive barrage of fireballs and carnage.
And so the excitement you had dreamed of has arrived. When you think the only true combat of your entire career is over, you find out it is only the beginning. You are thrown into new adventures and discover the conflict raging beneath the finely polished surface of the Empire.
Now you know, that your actions will affect the fate of the Empire.
|Save a town from lunatic cultists!
At the Gallows will be an epic that continues the Exile saga. Although this is NOT Exile IV, it does address many threads from the original trilogy. In addition, it will add many more so that other designers may receive inspiration to add on to the Exile saga.
If you have played Spy's Quest -- an earlier attempt and scenario designing of mine -- you will see many elements taken from it (such as that pentagram puzzle I love so much in the Third Barrier and a toned down version of the Twisting Temple). However, in no way will this scenario be a copy of Spy's Quest. It will feature many new elements, challenges, and puzzles. This scenario will provide hours of entertainment and hopefully some minor frustration at points.
The scenario will be designed to start with beginner parties and take you to high level ones.
|Meet new friends and foes
So when will all this be released? Well, I am about 40% complete with this effort. I hope to crank out a public preview beta in a month or two of the earlier levels and side quests as I did with Spy's Quest (although this is still tentative at best). However, it will most likely enter beta phase sometime in summer and will be released (keep my fingers crossed) before the next Scenario Design Contest.
Be sure to check back periodically for new screenshots and information.
|Troglos, Giants, and More, Oh My!

An Orthodox Jewish organization said today it had filed suit against the New York State Human Rights Commission to force it to accept a complaint that the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company refused to hire a Sabbath-observing Jew.
The suit naming the insurance company as co-defendant was filed by the National Jewish Commission on Law and Public Affairs after the state agency twice rejected the complaint on procedural grounds, according to Dr. Marvin Schick, president of the Jewish group. Dr. Schick said that the insurance company, one of the largest in the United States, had not denied the substance of the complaint.
The applicant for the job, Bernard Rubin, a computer programmer, asserted he had been offered a position after completing a series of examinations. He had then informed the Metropolitan Life interviewer that he would not work on the Jewish Sabbath because he was an Orthodox Jew and that, for the same reason, he would have to leave earlier on Fridays during the winter months because of the earlier sundown. Mr. Rubin said he was then informed that the company could not alter its schedule to accommodate him and it refused him the position.
A complaint was filed with the Human Rights Commission in 1965 and was rejected. In 1966, the complainant asked for a review of the rejection and again was turned down. Dr. Schick, in announcing the new suit, said that the Commission had said, in announcing its refusal to consider the Rubin complaint, that under existing law, it could do little to stop discrimination against Sabbath observers. He added that, under new guidelines announced last week by the Federal Commission on Equal Employment Opportunity, commercial firms were required to hire such applicants unless they could prove that use of such personnel would do substantial harm to their enterprises. Dr. Schick said that the suit was filed in the hope that this ruling would apply to the Rubin complaint.
A Metropolitan spokesman pointed out that the proceeding was not a suit against the company but an action under civil practice law to compel the Commission to take action. Dr. Schick said the suit had been filed in State Supreme Court in Manhattan.

Speaking after the EU summit held yesterday (27 May), Commission President José Manuel Barroso made it plain that the EU executive would impose infringements on Bulgaria regarding the Gazprom-favoured South Stream pipeline, the construction of which is about to begin in breach with EU laws.
Bulgarian Prime Minister Plamen Oresharski met bilaterally with Barroso yesterday and assured him that the South Stream pipeline will be build according to EU law.
But as the two were meeting, it also became known that a Russian firm, who's owner is under US sanctions will build the Bulgarian stretch of the pipeline.
Russian Stroytransgaz consortium will build the Gazprom-favoured South Stream gas pipeline, the Bulgarian daily Capital revealed yesterday.
A major shareholder (63%) in Stroytransgaz is Volga Group, owned by Gennady Timchenko, who was placed on the US's sanctions list against Russia in mid-March. He is believed to be the 6th richest man in Russia, according to Forbes, and with close ties to President Vladimir Putin.
The total value of the construction works on Bulgarian territory will be 3.5 billion Euros, with 20 to 30% of the implementation being sub-contracted to Bulgarian firms.
Capital reported earlier this year that Stroytransgaz has expressed interest in building the pipeline, but official confirmation came on Tuesday by Vladimir Inkov, executive director of South Stream Bulgaria.
The decision about the implementation of the project has been taken one hour before Oresharski met Barroso in Brussels, reassuring him that Bulgaria will abide by EU law.
The Commission has objected precisely on the grounds that the Bulgarian-Russian bilateral agreement on South Stream gives preference to companies from Bulgaria and Russia, which is against EU competition rules (see background).
Despite the Commission's position that the IGA violates EU law, Gazprom CEO Alexey Miller confirmed last month that the building of the Bulgarian and Serbian portions of the pipeline will begin in July.
Asked by EURACTIV to comment, Barroso said that at the EU summit that he had made it "very clear" that it was "critically important that the Union remains united on the issue of energy security". "Nobody contradicted this around the table," he added.
Barroso also said he had expressed to the European Council members the opinion of the European Commission that some of the agreements that are being negotiated on South Stream are in conflict with EU rules.
"So we will act in this regard," he said.
"In fact today I informed the [Bulgarian] Prime minister of the intentions of the European Commission. We have to make sure that the rules of the internal market are respected, not only because it's our duty, but because the Bulgarian energy security and European energy security would be at risk if these rules are not observed," Barroso said.
"We are fully aware of the situation, we are following closely for several months now," he added.
Bulgaria faces an infringement procedure over South Stream, as well on the issue of opening of procedures by the State Commission for Energy and Water Regulation (DKEVR) to withdraw licences to the three public suppliers of electricity in Bulgaria, Czech firms ?EZ, and Energo-Pro and Austria's EVN.
The centre-right opposition in Bulgaria has called a non-confidence vote over the energy policy of the Socialist-led government, denounced as pro-Russian. A debate in the Bulgarian Parliament will take place today.
Speaking to EURACTIV, MEP Vladimir Uruchev from the centre-right opposition party GERB said that it was hardly a surprise that Timchenko's company Stroytransgaz would build South Stream in Bulgarian territory.
He regretted that for such a "giant contract", a transparent tender had not been held and that major European companies had not been invited to participate to the competition.
"The intention of the government is clear: they wanted the Russian company to get the contract", he said.
Asked what the motivation of the government was: pro-Russian sympathies or corruption, Uruchev said he didn't think it was about sympathies.
Last December, the Commission said that all bilateral agreements (IGAs) for the construction of South Stream gas, signed between Russia and Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungary, Greece, Slovenia, Croatia and Austria, are all in breach of EU law and need to be renegotiated from scratch [read more].
EURACTIV has seen a letter sent by the Commission to the Bulgarian authorities, dated 14 August 2013, which analysed the Bulgaria-Russia agreement in great detail. The six-page document, addressed to the Bulgarian deputy energy minister, Evgenia Haritonova, has never been made public, despite pressure by some MPs in the Bulgarian Parliament to disclose it.
Apart from breaches to EU energy market rules forbidding energy producers from simultaneously owning transmission networks (so-called ownership unbundling), which are common to all seven agreements, the letter identifies the following grievances:
- Bulgaria committed to provide the most favourable tax regime to Gazprom, which according to the EU Commission is in breach of the EU's state aid rules;
- At one point, the inter-governmental agreement (IGA) stipulates that Bulgarian and Greek companies would be subcontracted, and at another, that preference would be given to companies from the states of the Parties (Bulgaria and Russia), which is against EU competition rules;
- The IGA stipulates that tariffs for using the pipeline would be established "by the Company", which is in contradiction with the powers of the national regulator to approve transmission tariffs in accordance with EU law.

Sony Computer Entertainment Inc (SCEI) has added support for RSS (really simple syndication) and Windows Media Audio files to its PlayStation Portable (PSP) with a firmware update available from Tuesday.
The RSS support appears as a button in the PSP's network menu alongside the existing Internet browser and LocationFree Player icons. Users can add RSS feeds from Web sites they visit by clicking on the relevant RSS feed buttons or links and then check these feeds through the RSS Channel menu. Support for podcasts is also included.
The Windows Media Audio support allows playback of WMA files through the PSP's music menu. Certain WMA files, including WMA9 Professional, WMA9 Lossless and copyright-protected files like those available through commercial download services are not supported.
Other new features added in the firmware 2.60 update include the ability to download copyright-protected video directly to the PSP's MemoryStick Duo memory card from the system's Web browser. In the past, video downloads of commercial content had to be done on a PC and then transferred to the PSP.
Support for simplified Chinese (GB18030) and traditional Chinese (Big5) character encoding has also been added to the Web browser.
The latest update, which is available via the PSP's network update function or from SCEI's Web site, takes the PSP firmware to version 2.60.

Entertaining Film Worth A Few Good Laughs
Justin Heath | Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada | 10/11/2008
(4 out of 5 stars)
"I saw Sex Drive at a sneak preview. It's a seemingly typical teen sex comedy in the vein of Superbad meets Road Trip. Zuckerman plays Ian, a young virgin with no luck with the ladies, a crush on his childhood friend Felicia (Crew), a jerk of an older brother (Marsden), and is best friends with an Austin Powers-esquire Casanova by the name of Lance (Duke). On the internet, he poses as a football player while courting a mysterious girl online. When the girl invites him to go "all the way", he steals his brother's GTO and heads to Knoxville with Felicia and Lance. Ian's character has the usual nerdy teen virgin-in-a-movie problems: falls for the wrong girls, takes few risks, gets caught in embarrassing sexual situations. On the road trip, they run into a series of hilarious, awkward, and weird situations. And on the way, they discover that sex isn't the most important thing, and that true love can be found in both odd and familiar places.
It's not exactly stunningly original, but it's still a hilarious film. The three leads do a pretty good job, Lance being a particularly funny character. Marsden and Green steal the show in all the scenes they're in, and all of the characters in the film are interesting, even if most of them are stock characters. The script is also well-connected, with most of the characters being connected to the larger plot, and combines wit, ribaldry, and straight adult humor well. Every gag sequence gets big laughs, and the comedy never slows down or dies out. The internet cutaways are especially hilarious supplements.
It's refreshing to see a genuinely adult comedy not coming from the Apatow crew or McKay and Ferrell. Although it lacks star leads and filmmakers and will probably drop under the radar, I definitely recommend Sex Drive to anyone looking for a big laughs."
Pleasantly suprised!
Lindsay V. Reece | California, USA | 01/15/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Although I'm still officially a teenager, I've never really been into movies like "American Pie"; that type of humor just struck me as shallow, immature, and to put it blunty, plain stupid. I had never even heard of "Sex Drive" until the day I went to see it with a friend. After watching the preview online, I had rather low expectations. The further the film progressed however, the more I came to like it. The plot is ok, but it's definately the actors that make this movie; I fell in love with the characters! Especially the guy with the glasses. It's a shame this movie didn't do too well at the box office; it surely deserves more attention than it's gotten! You won't be dissapointed with this film!"
Fun teen sex comedy, decent BD release
Steve Kuehl | Ben Lomond, CA | 02/20/2009
(4 out of 5 stars)
"Plenty to read about regarding this film out in the Internet world. The trailers have been playing in the store for a month now and the buzz has been positive (since no one got to see this in theaters). Analyzing a high budget teen/sex comedy for acting is pointless, so I will stick with the BD quality and extras.
The video and audio look and sound fine, typically the outer channels get used with the LARGE volume of songs played throughout; and some nice GTO throttlings. The special features have roughly 30 minutes of docus reviewing production and self loathing/lampooning of the cast: Marsden Dilemma & Duke of the Internet clips.
The big question: differences between the UR and R. Plenty to list. 20 extra minutes of gratuitous male and female nudity, longer takes of certain scenes (the two confident geeks verbiage, pool party, condom buying fiasco, left-in flubs, changed phrases, sex sounds [sheep, bjs, etc.]), most noticeably - CGI-imposed nudity in 20 or so random scenes with a graphic intro by the director/writer about what to expect in the UR version.
Overall, a funny film with plenty of comedian cameos, decent writing, love searching, and sexual awakenings (even in the Amish country). A worthwhile purchase for fans of the film plus they kept it all one on disc (everything is the same as the 2 disc DVD)."
Watch the theatrical version first
Ralph Jenkins | Manassas, VA | 02/23/2009
(3 out of 5 stars)
"Heed the director's advice and watch the R-rated theatrical version first. If you enjoy the R-rated cut, you can check out the unrated version. The unrated version is actually a joke, a jab at all those "unrated" comedies on DVD.
The movie itself is pretty funny, and the picture quality on this Blu-ray Disc is very good. Unfortunately, due to having two different versions of the film on one disc, there wasn't enough room to include HD audio.

VIEW VIDEOS OF RESISTANCE, READ ARTICLES AND TAKE ACTION THIS WEEK 19May10 May 19, 2010
Dr MAZIN QUMSIYEH is a tireless activist for Palestinian human rights who returned to his hometown of Beit Sahour in the Israeli-occupied West Bank last year and now teaches at Bethlehem and Birzeit Universities. The author of Sharing the Land of Canaan: Human Rights and the Israeli-Palestinian Struggle (2004), Qumsiyeh is both a human rights activist and a scientist who has a lengthy list of publications on genetics to his credit. The Electronic Intifada contributor Ida Audeh met with him in April and discussed advocating the Palestinian cause in the United States and his impressions about the current direction of the Palestinian struggle.
During the 29 years he lived in the United States, Qumsiyeh earned masters and doctoral degrees; taught at several prestigious universities, including Duke and Yale; co-founded activist organizations (Al-Awda, the Palestinian Right to Return Coalition and the Wheels of Justice Tour — a traveling tour bus that stops at different communities to educate them about Palestine and Iraq); and was a board member for numerous organizations. Since the mid-1990s, he has maintained email lists that focus on human rights and international law. His weekly postings now reach approximately 50,000 individuals and include reports of events and comments that are informed by a deep understanding of common struggles in other parts of the world. An optimist who advocates "having joyful participation in the sorrows of this world," he includes in every e-mail at least one action that the reader can take to make a difference. (From an interview with Ida Audeh, The Electronic Intifada , 11 May 2009)
In this digest: a) Videos about the ongoing popular resistance including in Nabi Saleh, Sheikh Jarrah, Beit Jala, Italy etc. b) Four actions you can take for this week including support for the Free Gaza movement, c) several analytical articles that sheds light on what is going on in the land of apartheid including a critical article by Azmi Bishara on Salam Fayyad's plans for a Palestinian statelet.

Speaking at the closing ceremony of a five day training workshop for tractor operators, farm managers
and supervisors, Mr AKB Deyang holds the view that "to make the work of tractor operators much
easier, it's the responsibility of the farmer to get the land well prepared by clearing and uprooting
The workshop which started on Monday August 6, gave all 53 participants made up of two female and
51 male taken through theory which comprised the introduction to parts of tractor and farm
machineries, maintenance and safety precautions, types of plough/harrowing and techniques.
Participants including amateurs had the opportunity on the 3 rd -5 th days to have hand-on practical with
the various farm machineries. Speaking to Fred Duhoe an Agriculture reporter, a first timer recount her
experience "we most often think operation of tractors and some of this machines is a reserve for males
and this is evident in the number of men participants, but I want to learn this and I am glad I came. It's
been a very nice experience and I hope to put this skills acquired to good use"- Olivet Delasi Gleku a
female participant.
The Establishment of Agricultural Mechanization Training Centers (EAMTC) Project in Ghana is aimed at
training operators to enhance their knowledge on the maintenance of their tractors so as to derive the
most benefit out of the tractor's useful life.
The two centers in Ghana was established in collaboration with the Japanese government through JiCA
after it was identified that tractors breakdown more often than expected which is due to lack of
knowledge on the part of tractor operators. "A tractor has a useful lifespan of 8-10 years when all
servicing and maintenance culture is adhered to" Mr Alhassan, the resource person revealed.
The Adidome in Volta and Wenchi in Brong Ahafo Region, Centers have since trained about 651
participants and still hope to increase the numbers to cover farmers in the near future.
The participants were awarded certificates of participation and encouraged to learn more at their own
opportune time.

If you are like me, the instructions for running Cucumber.js in WebStorm did not yield good results. The configuration dialog expects an Executable path, but the instructions on the github page only show the .js file in the command line execution. I assumed this meant that I needed to run the command line directly in node, but that didn't seem to work either. Ugh.
In a nutshell, you need to specify node as your executable in the configuration dialog and pass your cucumber.js file as an argument. Like so:
Turns out this will occasionally fail when WebStorm inserts an argument between your cucumber.js path and node. Grrrrrr.
To make it work anyway, create a batch file (cucumber.bat) with the following contents:
CALL "<insert your node path here>\node.exe" <insert your cucumber bin path here>\cucumber.js %
Then change your configuration to look like so:
I hope this saves you some pain.

DOP Chapter 408 – Internal Conflicts (2)
Translated by: Andy
Edited by:
4/5 (14)
The two both have a solemn expression on their face. Xuan Yuan Yi furrowed his brows, "The empire or the beauty…Xuan Yuan Che, you should know what's more important. You don't need me to tell you right?"
Xuan Yuan Yi used Xuan Yuan Che's full name to address him. This shows that he was already very angry.
Xuan Yuan Che had a cold expression on his face as well, "I told you that I won't bring harm to Tianchen. Father, don't put the empire and Yue-er together. As for Tianchen….. It wouldn't even be here without Yue-er. Father, don't forget about that."
There was not a single trace of politeness in his voice. Xuan Yuan Che was not patient either.
Xuan Yuan Yi stared at Xuan Yuan Che, "Yes. She has done meritorious deeds for our empire. No one will deny that. But right now, she's more harm than good. Her crims has already surpassed the deeds that she has done.
"What crime? I told you that this was all planned by Du Gu Ye. Stop…."
"This is the facts. You said that Du Gu Ye won't attack but now, the five empires already have their troops right outside Tianchen. Du Gu Ye said that if you marry her, then he will immediately attack. This is the truth. The iron truth.
Xuan Yuan Yi was extremely angry right now. He didn't even wait for Xuan Yuan Che to finish talking before yelling out.
"Even if Liu Yue didn't tempt him, even if it has nothing to do with her, she is still playing a big role in all of this. Don't marry her and send her away.
Che-er, there are many beauties under the heavens. You're only losing out on this one.
You love her. Father knows that. But Tianchen is much more important than she is. You're the future king of Tianchen, you can't act like this.
Don't say anything. Listen to me first. Even if you are prepared for everything, but as for Tianchen's strength, do you think that others don't know what we are capable of? Do you think that I don't know our military strength? What strength do we have to go against five empires? If we fight, we will definitely lose.
Che-er, it's not like I want to be cold blooded but I'm doing this for the country. I'm doing this for Tianchen. We have to put Tianchen as our priority and not ourselves. We have to stand by at the top and show our citizens that we are capable.

So firstly I arrived at Waterstones around 11am where I met the lovely Jade&Megan, and im so glad i can say i made friends through this experience! Anyway we waited in the wind, rain and cold until about 20 past 12 when they started letting people in in groups of 10's. Looking back waiting all that time in the rain was so worth it. Once inside we was given our signed copies of Username:Evie and waited about 40 minutes to meet Joe. I remember feeling SO scared and shaky!
Once it was my turn I walked around the door and he gave me a huge smile and put his arms out for a hug. All I remember clearly is dropping my bag and saying "Oh my God Hi!". I handed him my phone so he could take the picture because i clearly was in no state to do so:
Now im not just saying this because I adore him, but Joe is honestly one of the nicest people you will EVER meet. He is so polite and friendly. Im lucky enough to me meeting him again in November with Casper Lee and I honestly cant wait! (Hopefully this time i wont be so scared).
I also want to add that Username:Evie is such an amazing graphic novel with such a touching storyline. I wont give anything away for those who havent read it but I was genuinely amazed. I am beyond proud of Joe and all the success he has had with this book, he deserves it so much!
Anyway i'll stop rambling now because i could write all night about it! Thank you so much for reading!

U.S. government officials are continuing to voice their disapproval with Russia's actions in the Crimea and the eastern border of Ukraine with a new legislative proposal to end the United State's reliance on Russian-made RD-180 rocket engines. If approved by Congress and signed by President Barack Obama, this provision added to the 2015 National Defense Authorization Act could have a negative impact on United Launch Alliance's Atlas V launch vehicle, and create a greater emphasis on developing a replacement for the RD-180.
"Mr. Putin's Russia is giving us some problems," said Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) in the statement released on May 22. "So we put $100 million in the defense bill to develop a state-of-the-art rocket engine to make sure that we have assured access to space for our astronauts as well as our military space payloads."
Nelson, a longtime advocate for NASA as well as an astronaut, took part in the Senate Armed Services Committee that addressed this concern over the use of Russian-made rocket engines used to launch U.S. national security satellites into orbit. A new move by Washington lawmakers and military officials now looks to begin a transition away from RD-180 engines and work towards finding an U.S.-made replacement.
Amid escalating political tensions over the last few months came a statement by Russian deputy prime minister of space and defense, Dmitry Rogozin, claiming that Russia will no longer sell RD-180 engines to the U.S. Along with other threats that Russia has plans to end its program launching U.S. astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) by 2020 and not allowing GPS stations within Russia. These statements only exacerbated the inflamed situation between the two nations and their future cooperation in space.
There have also been recent legal actions hindering the use of RD-180s that resulted from a temporary restriction on engine purchases because of a lawsuit filed by Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) against the U.S. Air Force over a non-bid contract awarded to ULA for military payload launches for the Air Force. ULA's $11 billion deal with the Air Force consists of 28 launches of navigation and intelligence satellites over the next five years, 20 of which are planned to be taken into orbit atop Atlas V rockets powered by RD-180 engines.
Moreover accusation have recently been made by SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk over alleged backroom dealing involving ULA and Air Force officials resulting in contracts awarded to ULA. ULA's reliance of RD-180 engines became a factor used by SpaceX to cast doubt on ULA to be reliable for launching military payloads over the coming years if their supply of RD-180s can't be secure.
President and CEO of ULA, Michael Gass, addressed the concerns over the reliability of U.S. government launches in the near future at a Senate hearing on the National Security Space Launch Program last month by stating ULA currently has more than two years of safety stock in RD-180 engines available and has other products that can handle the national security launches that are contracted if needed.
Committees looking at the issue in Washington D.C. have already passed legislation and allocated funds to begin the development of a suitable replacement for the RD-180 engine. It is hoped that this new engine will be ready to be built in the U.S. by 2019. Estimates by industry professionals range around $1 billion for the development and manufacturing of this new engine with only basic concepts currently being disclosed, including this new liquid-fueled rocket be comparable in power to the RD-180 which generates 860,000 pounds of thrust at sea level.

Indian Navy got the first Scorpene submarine, Kalvari made by Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Ltd (MDL) in the ongoing 'Make In India' programme.
Coming in the 50th year of Indian submarine operations, which is being celebrated as the Golden Jubilee of the submarine arm, the occasion has that extra special significance. Post delivery, the submarine would soon be commissioned into the Indian Navy.
The contract for the construction and Transfer-of-Technology for six Scorpene submarines in series, with M/s DCNS of France as 'collaborator' and MDL as 'builder', was signed in Oct 2005.
Kalvari is named after the dreaded Tiger Shark, a deadly deep sea predator of the Indian Ocean. As is the tradition, ships and submarines of the Navy, are re-incarnated after decommissioning. So, it is with Kalvari.
The first Kalvari, commissioned on 08 December 1967, was also the first submarine of the Indian Navy. She was decommissioned on 31 May 1996 after almost 30 years of yeoman service to the nation. In true nautical tradition, she will now be re-incarnated, by Mazagon Dock, once again a powerful predator of the deep, guarding the vast maritime interests of the nation.
The state-of-art technology utilised in the Scorpene has ensured superior stealth features such as advanced acoustic silencing techniques, low radiated noise levels, hydro-dynamically optimised shape and the ability to launch a crippling attack on the enemy using precision guided weapons. The attack can be launched with both torpedoes and tube launched anti-ship missiles, whilst underwater or on Page 2 of 2 surface.
The stealth of this potent platform is enhanced by the special attention given to various signatures. These stealth features give it an invulnerability, unmatched by most submarines.
Scorpene submarines can undertake multifarious types of missions i.e anti-surface warfare, anti-submarine warfare, intelligence gathering, mine laying, area surveillance etc.
The submarine is designed to operate in all theatres, with means provided to ensure interoperability with other components of a Naval Task Force. It is a potent platform, marking a generational shift in submarine operations.
With the delivery of Kalvari, MDL has mastered the complex art of submarine building and India has cemented its position as a submarine building nation. MDL has more than lived up to its reputation as a premier shipbuilding yard under the Department of Defence Production, which has immensely facilitated all aspects of this prestigious and critical defence project.
The second of the Scorpene under construction at MDL, Khanderi, was launched in January 2017, and is currently undergoing the rigorous phase of sea trials. The third Scorpene, Karanj, is being readied for launch later this year. The balance submarines are in various stages of outfitting. Two MDL built SSK submarines are still in service today, after more than 20 years -- a testimony to the skill and capability of Mazagon Dock.

Group wins funding for LGBT refugees
An Irish youth organisation has secured funding from the European Refugee Fund to provide support services for young people seeking asylum in Ireland on the basis of their sexual orientation.
BelongTo, which works with lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender young people (LGBT), has received €135,000 from the European Refugee Fund, through Pobail, for a two-year programme to acquaint asylum services here on how to deal with LGBT refugees.
The grant, which will also fund a direct support service for LGBT migrants inside the State, has been matched by a further €40,000 in funding from the Health Service Executive.
While the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service does not provide numbers on LGBT refugee cases, BelongTo said it has been dealing with a string of cases involving young people fleeing persecution from African and Middle Eastern countries on the grounds of sexual orientation.
In many instances, the refugees are too fearful to disclose their sexual identity in case they are "outed", and forced to go back if their case is refused, said BelongTo's director Michael Barron.
Asylum seekers are not afforded the protection of the State's equality legislation, Mr Barron said, and are often unaware they can claim asylum on the basis of a sexual orientation or gender. Another issue, he highlighted, was the housing of LGBT refugees in hostels with people from the same countries, which can often expose them to further discrimination and persecution.
The primary focus of his organisation's project, he said, would to be to build the capacity of Irish asylum services and the Department of Justice to work with LGBT refugees.
Political asylum generally covers asylum sought on the basis of nationality, race, religion, membership or participation in a particular social group. Many countries have recently extended asylum to LGBT people, recognising them as a particular social group subject to persecution.
Last year, a gay Nigerian man who claimed he faced persecution over his sexuality in his native country won a High Court challenge to his deportation. The court ruled the then minister for justice's decision gave no consideration to principles set out in a UN Human Rights Commission guidance note which says having to hide one's sexual orientation may amount to persecution.

Why did I decide to get back to blogging?
1) Spring is here! Finally, new energy, new life, cherry blossoms. It's mainly just the cherry blossoms (and rain) for the moment here in Paris, but if one's willing to believe what the weatherman announces, it should be sunny and 20°C this Sunday. Hurray.
|A little taste of what this blog is going to be about.
3) I quite liked it (blogging) when we were on our honeymoon roadtrip in the USA and decided to give it another go.
4) Facebook is nice but can get annoying sometimes and I don't want to bother everyone with all the things I want to write about.
5) A few friends told me I should start a blog so they can see some of my looks, my decorating ideas, my pictures. OK guys, here I start this blog. Now let's see if you are really going to read it.
Why am I writing in English?This blog will be mostly written in English. Most of my international friends and family speak English, many of my english-speaking friends don't speak Czech (or French). And I egoistically hope that one day, some people I don't know and who live all around the world will read this blog and be inspired by it.
What will this blog be about?
I named the blog "One Never Ending Honeymoon" because
- that's how my life feels like since I got married to my wonderful husband in August 2009
- this blog originally started because of our USA roadtrip-honeymoon back in August 2010. And I didn't want to make it disappear completely, so I decided to give it a second life by keeping the word "honeymoon" in the title (the original title of this blog being "Once upon a time, a honeymoon in the USA").
I want to write about things I love, things I do, things I dream about: flowers, sunshine, good food and wine, lazy afternoons, picnics in the park, happy memories, fashion and style, cozy sofas, white floors, scandinavian design and if I get lucky, maybe even fireplaces one day. A lifestyle blog, basically.
|I told you, spring finally made it to Paris!
Who inspires me ?
Oh, and a few blogs that inspired me to start blogging again (I will write a longer post about them someday, this is just a quick review):
The Londoner - one beautiful girl, one city I love (yes it's London, dummies) plenty of nice clothes, smiles, traveling, cute pictures, nice tips and great food.
Decor8 - the ultimate guru for all "normal" people who never studied interior design but love decorating and are into pastels, whites, colors, old&new.
What I Wore - another beautiful girl, posting amazing outfits every day (for 5 years now!), plenty of helpful tips for remixing your outfits and being chic without spending all your money on clothes.
Love Taza - from another city I love (this one you can't guess from the title, it's NYC), a beautiful girl, full of life, love and energy and her beautiful little family now in NYC.
Oh Happy Day! - easy and cute ideas to throw your next home party (for kids, adults, families, weddings, christmas...) or make your home and life nicer - check Oh Happy Day!
Ruffled - a wedding blog oh so beautiful - even if you are not getting engaged or married in the next few months/years/never ever or if you're already happily married (like me, yay).
I hope you like it.

Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood Fall/Winter 2016-2017 RTW
When punk rock fashion queen Vivienne Westwood met eclectic artist Andreas Kronthaler, it was love at first sight. The married couple that is also a professional duo still perfectly embodies the quirkiest side of fashion even after more than 20 years spent living and creating together. Newly born, the Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood fall/winter 2016-17 ready-to-wear collection was unveiled for the first time ever at Paris Fashion Week, denoting an intriguing new path for Westwood's lines too.
Vivienne Westwood earlier announced that only her eponymous label and her Gold Label line were going to be produced, and that the latter was going to be renamed after her devoted husband. Such a choice also emphasizes some solid differences between the two lines, besides denoting how deep and respectful the relationship between Westwood and her husband is. "I have designed with Vivienne for more than 25 years. To add my name is to emphasize and clarify the differences between our lines. It is not a big change to the way we work but it will bring a new direction and I am happy and excited for the future,' declared Kronthaler, to which Westwood added: "over the years Andreas has taken on ever more responsibility and I wish this fact to be reflected in public perception."
Dramatic, dark-toned and overall imposing, the Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood fall 2016 collection combines Westwood's signature punk rock motifs with Oriental, bohemian and British vibes. Aside from the gauzy trousers and sharp jackets, the collection's main lines could be regarded as gracefully relaxed, even when combined with geometric colorful patterns and contrasting hems. Oversized and genderless, most of the pieces inevitably remind us of the Eighties, with all their studded applications and gender-bender allure.
To describe the collection's debut is not an easy task, as it may be literally regarded as a well-served potpourri of all the things Kronthaler likes. He deconstructed fashion to the point that gender, proportions and patterns are not important anymore, yet always manages to create designs that are a pure pleasure to watch. Kronthaler's controlled chaos made him combine dramatic pointy hats with oversized coats, voluminous golden windbreakers with unisex suits, not to mention the abstract, asymmetrically cropped pants and surrealistic jackets.
To top it all off, he even mixed warm and cozy jackets, as well as furry neck warmers with Japanese sandals, making sure each one of his designs had at least one Far East-inspired motif. I mean, who else could so gracefully mix wrapped kilts, tartan waistcoats, bellboy jackets with velvet athleisure pants, deconstructed earth-toned Saris and Bishop hats all together, if not Andreas Kronthaler?
It is also extremely interesting to notice how he did, however, manage to celebrate his wife's legacy through the very last pieces of the collection, wherein studded frocks, oversized cape coats, contrasting collars and shredded blazers confirm once again how deeply interconnected the artistic, professional and sentimental bonds are between the two of them.

The response to "An Evangelical Manifesto"-- which was released a week ago, with the endorsement of many prominent evangelicals, and is designed to "address the confusions and corruptions that attend the term Evangelical in the United States" and to describe the proper role of evangelicals in public life– seems to be a collective yawn. There have been yawns in the media (see Alan Jacobs' excellent Wall Street Journal op-ed) and everyone I have queried personally has responded with an electronic yawn. But is everyone yawning for the same reason? I don't think they are.
Many of those who would not call themselves evangelicals are likely to read the manifesto, if they do read it, to try to understand just who evangelicals are. The most obvious ways to define evangelical would be to develop a single theological definition that includes most of this jelly-like group, to attempt to identify the major subgroups of evangelicals, or both. "An Evangelical Manifesto" seems to adopt the first approach, providing a list of seven beliefs that evangelicals hold. Seven is already a bit on the cumbersome side– the best known definition, which is discussed in the first footnote of this article, has four.
And within a page or two, the manifesto adds further bells and whistles. It is also confusing at times. At one point (p.10), the document seems to disclaim any connection between evangelical and Protestant, but on the next page the signers suggest that they are all Protestants. It is not surprising that nonevangelicals looking for a simple explanation of evangelicalism are yawning.
The clear bete noire of the document is the close ties between many evangelicals and the Republican party. What about the implicit targets of this criticism, the evangelical leaders who are most tightly linked to the Republican power structure? One might expect them to take offense at statements such as this: "Called by Jesus to be 'in' the world but 'not of' the world," we are fully engaged in public affairs, but never completely equated with any party [read: Republican party], partisan ideology, economic system, class, tribe, or national identity." (P.14). But thus far they haven't. Rather than lambast this call for unilateral disarmament, several of the most visible leaders have yawned too. Partly this may be a tribute to the mild language of the manifesto (it's easy enough for anyone to say they aren't completely equated with the Republican party); but I suspect that many of them also see this a simply another in a growing list of debates among evangelicals on social issues, and that they are saying, in effect: "There you go again."
The last group of yawners is the sizable minority of evangelicals who agree that evangelicals have aligned themselves too closely with the Republican party in the past several decades. For these evangelicals, and I include myself in this category, the disappointment of the document is that it doesn't give any guidance on just what a more God-honoring evangelical involvement in the political process would look like. What does it mean "never [to] be completely equated with any party [or partisan ideology]?" Abraham Kuyper, an early twentieth century theologian-politician who personally founded a political party, is a hero to many evangelicals (including this one). Was his founding a political party beyond the pale, or would Kuyper's efforts be exempt? And is partisanship always bad? Partisan doesn't necessarily mean uncivil, and surely there are benefits to taking a clear, sharp stand on important issues. These are the trickiest questions, it seems to me, but the manifesto doesn't try to address them. I suspect this is why some of us who are the manifesto's natural constituency have yawned too.
Perhaps there's another reason for the yawning. It may be that no one is taking "An Evangelical Manifesto" seriously because no one else is. Yawning is, after all, contagious. But this also suggests that if any of the groups stops yawning, the others might too.

Took some time today to swatch part of my nail polish collection. It feels like it took for.ev.er. hahah. I also ran out of colour wheels, so I will do another post once I buy some more!

What's hitting its peak in July? Zucchini. Look for zucchini that are small to medium-sized (no longer than 6 to 8 inches). They should be firm and free of nicks and cuts. Really fresh zucchini will bristle with tiny hairs. Click here for details.

The modern biopharmaceutical/biotechnology manufacturing facility contains many sophisticated control, data logging and data archiving systems. Massive amounts of data are collected from sources such as raw materials analysis, process outputs and final quality assessments, which are stored in data warehouses.
The sheer volume of data contained in these warehouses makes it a near impossible task to extract the information using simple charting and univariate methods of analysis. Such complex data requires methods of analysis that can cope with multiple variables simultaneously that not only reveal influential variables, but also reveal the relationship such variables have with each other. This is where Multivariate Analysis (MVA) is finding a much greater role in the analysis of complex bioprocess data.
With much more effort being put into the discovery and development of biotherapies and personalised medicines, biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are looking for ways to accelerate drug discovery, and through initiatives such as Quality by Design (QbD) and Data Driven Knowledge Discovery, reduce the regulatory approval time and be first to market. This means that data collected throughout the entire product lifecycle must be analysed and interpreted in order to gain extensive product and process understanding. This, in turn, leads to improved quality, greater confidence in the market for a company's products and ultimately market capitalisation.

2017 Autumn Reunion
Autumn Reunion
Autumn, a Rochester College musical ensemble, formed in 1973. Seventy-eight former members gathered on the campus of Rochester College in March of 2017 for a reunion. In just one day, reunion participants prepared the incredible program seen in the videos below. Since only one group was fully represented (1993-94), most of the small groups seen in the videos sang music from their era but not necessarily from their own group. Once again, the results demonstrated the versatility and talent displayed by members of Autumn for over four decades.


text: This past Christmas I made my daughters, daughter-in-laws and like-a-daughter family cookbooks. I had them all give me favorite family recipes that they make. I created 4x6 pages in a scrapbook program. Once I created a background design I then typed in the recipes. I e-mailed and had them printed as photographs at Costco then inserted the recipes into a pre-made mini photo-album I purchased at JoAnn's. I left the plastic covering the book comes with to keep the cover picture clean. There is a section for each person's recipes starting with mine. The beginning of each section has a photo of them. I left blank pages between the sections to add more recipes. If the recipes took up more than one page I created 2 pages and put them in facing pages. Everyone including spouses love them. As a gift.. in the last pocket of the book I put a note "In case you don't feel like cooking..." And attached a gift card to their favorite restaurant.

The Trenton Fire Department was assisted by the Abercrombie and Pictou Landing fire departments. The blaze was quickly brought under control shuttling water from a hydrant near the entrance to the Nova Scotia Power plant. (Brian Cameron photo)

Many Singaporeans will think and consider between engaging a private driving instructor or a school driving instructor. I will go for a private driving instructor singapore. Here's why:
1. 1 car throughout the training. Training in a car throughout the entire training will let you be familiar with the car. Every car model is different. The sensitivity of the accelerators, brakes, and the steerling wheels are different. It is better to get used to a car and use the same car for your Traffic Police test to get higher chance of passing your Traffic Police test.
2. Cheaper. With private driving instructors' rates half the price of the school driving instructors' rates, what's there about to think more?
3. Same instructor throughout the training. Every instructors teach differently and may even expect different things from you. When you engage a private driving instructor, he will be the only one who teach you, unlike in school driving centers where they allocate different instructors to you on different training lessons.
With so many advantages to getting a private driving instructor, what are the disadvantages (if any)? There are some:
a) Your earliest booked exam timeslots will usually be slower than school students as priority is given to them.
b) How fast you pass your driving examination is dependent on how good your private driving instructor is. This is because each private instructor has their own way of teaching and some are better while others are less competent – but for school instructors, they are more or less similar.
So what's my final verdict on the type of Singapore driving instructor you should take lessons from?
– If you have a friend who have passed his or her test in one attempt, then ask him or her for the private driving instructor. Or you could simply look online for match up agencies in Singapore who will get you private driving lessons.
I still prefer private driving tutors in Singapore like I mentioned above.

Vet Noise
Vet Noise is a MOVEMENT! Creating opportunities and acting as a voice for Veteran Charities and causes.

Vet Noise events are held one Sunday of each month at Young Veterans Brewing Company in Virginia Beach,VA. Vet Noise is an event where Veterans and supporters get together to drink GREAT beer, enjoy offerings from a local food trucks, play corn hole and other games and listen to local musicians. We also have raffles and door prize drawings where ALL proceeds go to the Veteran charity of the month.
Future plans include events such as large concerts, races, and more. It is our pleasure to serve the military community and we hope we are able to inspire others to do the same!
