Return to Administrative Procedures
Special Needs Education
The Division believes in providing appropriate programming for students who have special needs.
Consistent with the regulations, the Division shall provide an appropriate educational program for all its resident students. A student may be determined to have special needs based on their behavioural, communicational, intellectual, or physical characteristics, or a combination of these characteristics. Such educational programming will be provided in the most enabling learning environment available with the Division's resources.
Students with special needs may require changes to any or all of the following:
- Regular curriculum
- Staffing
- Instructional and evaluation strategies
- Facilities or equipment
In addition, some students may require specialized health care services. Students with special needs may require placement in a special education program a part from the regular classroom.
Special Education refers to the education of students with mild, moderate, or severe disabilities and those who are gifted and talented.
- Students who have been identified with potential special needs will be referred through the Principal or designate for further assessment by appropriate personnel.
- All referrals for formal assessment must have written parental consent.
- Following assessment, a summary of results will be given to the Principal or designate and the Student Services Coordinator. Thereafter, a post-conference will be held with parents to inform them of the assessment results and the subsequent instructional program recommendations. The student will be included for all or part of the process as appropriate.
- The educational requirements of special needs students will be identified through screening, individual or group assessment, classroom observation, and/or information available from outside agencies.
- Within a school site, the decision to place a student outside the regular classroom for some portion of the school day will be made by the Principal in consultation with the Student Services Coordinator and the parent(s) or legal guardian(s). The Principal may determine that the school has no appropriate program to meet the student's educational needs. In the absence of Division programs the student may be recommended to a program run by another Division. The Principal, in consultation with the Student Services Coordinator, will make this recommendation to the Superintendent who may direct the student to a program outside of the Division.
- Signed parental consent must be obtained prior to placement of a student in a special program. Any placement change to or from a special needs program must be discussed with the parents prior to implementation.
- Parents who are dissatisfied with the placement of their special needs student may appeal to the Board through the Appeals Policy.
- The development, implementation, and evaluation of special needs instructional programs will be consistent with Alberta Education policy and guidelines.
- Programs for students with special needs will work toward full integration in the regular classroom environment wherever possible.
- Specific criteria will be established for admission to and exit from a Special Needs Program.
- The regular classroom teacher, in conjunction with the special needs teacher, and parents, will develop an Individual Program Plan (IPP), for each student with special needs. The completed IPP will be reviewed with, and signed by the parents. Any changes to the students' IPP must be discussed with the students' parents. Ongoing consultation with parents is encouraged.
- The progress of special needs students will be monitored and evaluated on an on-going basis to determine the appropriateness of placement.
- Placements will be reviewed each spring by the Principal and the Student Services Coordinator.
- The decision to return a student to the regular program will be made by the Principal in consultation with the Student Services Coordinator, appropriate school personnel and the parent or legal guardian.

As always, thanks to ESPN Stats & Information and sports information departments from all of these schools for the tidbits.
Connecticut head coach Paul Pasqualoni returns to the Carrier Dome on Friday. Pasqualoni was Syracuse's linebackers coach from 1987-90 and head coach from 1991-2004, going 107-59-1 with four Big East titles (1996-98, 2004) and nine bowl appearances. The Orange have dropped five consecutive games to the Huskies.
Rutgers and Temple are both playing to go remain unbeaten in the Big East. During the Owls' last Big East stint (1991-04), both struggled, with the Scarlet Knights holding a .197 winning percentage and notching just two winning seasons and the Owls holding a .149 winning percentage and having zero winning seasons. Since, Rutgers has a .653 winning percentage and has gone to six bowls. Temple has a .674 winning percentage and has gone to two.
Temple reached three conference wins only once (1997) during its last stint in the Big East (1991-2004).
The Scarlet Knights rank 80th or worse in the FBS in all major offensive categories, but are No. 2 in rush defense and tied for first in turnover margin. The Owls have lost just five turnovers this season and are tied for 12th nationally in turnover margin themselves.
Over his past four games, Pitt quarterback Tino Sunseri has completed 74 percent of his passes for 1,233 yards and eight touchdowns with only one interception. The Panthers are 28-3 all-time vs. Mid-American Conference schools, including a 3-0 mark against Buffalo.
Louisville returns home for the first time since Sept. 15 after completing a successful three-game road trip. The Cardinals' next three games are all at home, including a showdown next Friday with unbeaten Cincinnati.
USF has taken the ball away just four times this season (tied for second-fewest in FBS). It has gone three straight games without forcing a turnover and is the nation's only team without an interception this season. B.J. Daniels has tossed four touchdowns and seven interceptions during this four-game losing streak.
Cincinnati is tied for the third-longest winning streak in FBS at eight. Only Alabama (10) and Oregon (9) have longer streaks. Toledo has a six-game win streak of its own. The Bearcats have won 11 straight against MAC opponents, last losing in 2005 to Miami (Ohio). Toledo has won each of its past two home games against Big East foes (Temple in 2004 and Pitt in 2003).

As a psychology graduate and someone who's been working in recruitment for many years, I've always been interested in what drives the success behind finding the right person for the right job.
In a world full of 'high-potentials', so many people, companies, and recruiters fail to connect the right dots. This is demonstrated by most employee engagement surveys making grim reading with 25% of staff 'activity disengaged', showing that many people are simply not happy and companies are not getting the best out of their employees. What can we do to improve this?
Some people say recruitment is about gut feel and common commonalities but this is not very scientific. A candidate may have gone to the same school as you, or perhaps be a season ticket holder at the same football club, but does that really mean that they will be they right person for the job? Others focus on skills, experience and the competency based interview, which eight years ago was cutting edge but now part of the furniture. Research done by the Chemistry Group has shown that these factors may have an effect, but are not robust or scientific.
They use the "five box" model with skills and experience being one measure; and this has proved to be a very robust system that they tailor for each and every client they work with.
Chemistry Group have a tool 'what good looks like' which maps what success looks like on a role-by-role and department-by-department basis. They then develop customised assessments and tools using the five box model that measures potential hires and performance in the most and robust (valid and reliable) way.
But I am most interested in an instrument used in Europe called Odin, which looks at what one's strengths are based on the Jungian theory that underlies many psychometrics. This categorises your profile into four groups:
This model allows people to understand the following: what they are naturally are good at; what they could be good at; what is allowed and developed; and what might cause stress or hold them back.
This tool allows you to assess your workforce both from a hiring and organisational development perspective to truly get the best out of your people.
This assessment measures lots of factors, including motivation, but it's also an area that I think is highly complex. This is where culture, alignment, and team-fit come into play. Ray Krok (somebody I admire for more than bringing the Big Mac to the world) said:-
"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan Press On! has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."
To stay motivated you have to be persistent; but is this innate or is it a skill? Is it nature or nurture, and how do you measure it? I think you can have innate qualities that will help, but the environmental factors such as health, network and support, belief in a goal, are all significant in staying motivated and doing what you need to do to achieve.
So what do I think? I think science gives lots of supporting data to enable better judgement when hiring. I am an avid fan of testing (and personally I have taken many of the tests in the market to understand my own strengths) but, at the end of day, there are factors that are unpredictable because the science of understanding human behaviour is still so premature.
Ultimately, one must take a holistic approach when hiring or choosing your next job in a manner that is as consistent and robust as it can be. That said, I do believe we're on the tip of a brave new world of science driving better performance and happiness!

Service Centre "One Stop Shop"
The Service Centre provides multi-functional space to exhibit the innovation and high-tech development of Swaziland.
By being located at the highest point of the park site, the Service Centre will be recognized as a new landmark for Nokwane. Nestled within the surrounding green environment, the architecture is mixed with modern and local materials. The unique style presents a full depiction of the Kingdom and creates a new aesthetic for industrial parks in Swaziland.
The centre also includes conference rooms, exhibit halls, commercial areas, etc., and is linked together with two Research & Department (R&D) buildings; thereby catering not only to the service of the biotechnology park, but also to possibilities for recreation, exhibition and economic activities.

I'll hop on the Foodie Friday bandwagon! I love to cook. I love (mostly) following recipes and just winging it. The more you do it, the more fun it is. And I really hope I'm passing this along to my kids. Both boys instantly pull up a chair to help, which I love. However, this has become a really tense time too. Lot's of competition in our house right now. We'll work that out though.
For today's foodie Friday, I'm pulling something out that I make all the time – and isn't it a vibrant spring color? It was born one day when I had a craving for a salad, but wanted something new. And I had a huge amount of brussels sprouts that I didn't want to roast for the 346th time. So, shredded them up, added some lemon, honey, mustard and salt, and voila. It really is that easy, but there's a recipe below if you'd like it! And, it's really flexible – you can add other vegetables or fruit, maybe some avocado?
ps: the picture above is the one from my iPhone I sent to my sister after I made this for the first time. She ended up falling in love with the simplicity as well, and went on to create her own versions of it with all kinds of veggies. And no, it's not a great photo – but it's the OG shot, so had to go with it.
What you need:
- 4 cups of kale
- 3 cups brussels sprouts
- 2 T lemon
- 1 T honey
- 1T mustard
- salt
- pepper
- 1-2 T hemp seeds (optional)
How you do it:
- shred the kale by removing leaves from ribs and slicing thinly
- trim brussels sprouts, slice in half, and then thinly slice these halves width-wise
- put all your shredded kale and brussels sprouts into a medium bowl, and top with 1T lemon (I just squeeze a bit on here, and don't measure…eeek), and a pinch of salt. Mix it up a bit so the veggies get some lemon on them. Let this sit while you mix the rest of the dressing.
- mix remaining lemon (1T), honey and mustard together with a little salt and pepper (to taste) – and, like most things I do, you can just throw these into your bowl with your greens instead of mixing in advance. I know it doesn't combine as well, but sometimes you just don't want the dishes!
- mix honey mustard dressing into the bowl of veggies
- top with a sprinkling of those help seeds (gives a bit of a nutty flavor and adds some good protein, omega 3s, amino acids…)
You can also add some olive oil to the dressing, if you like. I prefer my salads lightly dressed, so this recipe works well for me without oil.

In the first public press conference since talk of a statewide teacher walkout began, the largest Oklahoma teachers union laid out their demands for the state legislature.
The demands include:
- $10,000 pay raise for teachers over the next three years.
- $5,000 raise for school support professionals, like secretaries, custodians, and bus drivers.
- $200 million in increased school funding over three years.
- $213 million for state employees raises.
- $256 million in health care funding over the next two years.
Oklahoma Education Association President Alicia Priest says the goal is not to close schools, it's to fund education. But, if the legislature doesn't come up with the revenue by April 1st, schools will shut down.
"Schools will stay closed until we get what we are asking for," she said.
The first year of OEA's plan will cost lawmakers $812 million. Priest says the union did not identify specific revenue-raising methods because the legislature has developed several proposals of their own over the past few years that could be used to raise the funds.
Senate Pro Tem Mike Schulz says a $10,000 raise over time raise is possible, but it's going to be tough.
"That would [require] about $600 million in additional revenue. We've seen a struggle in the House to pass anything that would raise $300 – $400 million. So I think if you're asking that chamber to raise $600 milllion… that would be very difficult."
He said he thinks a $5,000 raise is more obtainable.

So I'm thinking about participating in the National Novel Writing challenge/program/thing. This is where you join an online site (here) that supports and encourages you to write 50,000 words in the month of November. The site helps you count and track your progress, plan the novel, provides forums for assistance and discussion, and even offers group meet ups to sit down and write together with other participants in your area. The meetups I won't be able to do but the online thing is doable.
See I need concrete objectives to get something done and feeling obligated to anything or anyone external to my teeny tiny closed off world might actually help me get off my arse and write. Or maybe I should get back to writing that semi-historical novel I started with my sister last year. Hmmmmm…..maybe I could combine the two? Maybe I should talk to my sis first. She might have something to say about the matter.
What say you? Have any of you ever tried to do this? If you write, do you have a "method" or do you simply wait for a muse?

Hawkes Bullish About Kiwi Gelding
Well-bred 4YO Bullrush will make his Australian debut today following two impressive trial wins, reports NZ Racing Desk. Trainers John, Michael and Wayne Hawkes will run the O'Reilly gelding, who is out of a half-sister to 5-time Gr1 winner Starcraft, in an 1100 metre event at Goulburn. "He's a nice horse going the right way," co-trainer Michael Hawkes said. "We gave him plenty of time when he first came over and yes, we could have started him off in Sydney but Goulburn, on a nice big track which he likes, looks a nice starting point for him." He added: "He's ready to go to the races. He's doing everything right and ticked a lot of boxes." Bred and raced by Waikato Stud, Bullrush finished second in a trial at Te Rapa last year before he was sent to Australia.

Pre-purchase bicycle evaluation
When buying second hand, it can be very tough to tell what (if anything) that bicycle is worth. As with any mechanical device, shiny paint isn't a sign of a good buy. Having worked in the industry for over a decade, I cannot count the number of times I have dealt with customers who paid way too much for a used bicycle. BEFORE handing over your hard earned money, get an expert opinion. From the posted ad/description/pictures:
I'll give you a rough estimate of what the bicycle is worth in a good/better/best condition, a breakdown of what it may need in terms of upkeep, and will demystify the "needs a little work". I will also provide an unbiased "is it worth it?" assessment.
Price is per bicycle,
Physical examination negotiable.

AOL has entered a partnership with ITN for the news organisation to supply hours of news, entertainment and lifestyle video to the web portal each day.
Under the deal, ITN will provide AOL with a daily suite of videos from which its editors will select packages of clips to run across the homepage, news and entertainment channels.
Video clips, which pla yback within the page, will vary from 60 seconds to six minutes in length.
"ITN is a leading provider of a wide range of high quality video content and this deal builds on our strategy to inform, entertain and connect with our users," said Kate Burns, head of AOL in Europe.
"By bolstering video across the AOL UK platform we are offering advertisers even more opportunities to reach our engaged audiences as we programme the most compelling multi-media experiences across our rich, topical and trusted content."
The video deal comes after AOL UK made a series of editorial appointments last month as the company pushes ahead with plans to appoint "hundreds" of journalists in the coming year.
The majority of AOL's planned appointments are expected to be made in the US, however, it is undertaking an expansion in the UK which is being led by Carla Bevan, who joined AOL in early June from Marie Claire taking the role of editor-in-chief of its UK sites.
ITN Productions is providing video news covering UK, world, showbiz, money and sports as well as entertainment and lifestyle content spanning video gaming, music, TV, movies and fashion.

Tehran Taboo
Saturday, Jan. 20, 2018 – Saturday, Jan. 20, 2018
Mature Audiences Only
An edgy animated film for adult audiences, Tehran Taboo follows three strong-willed women and one young man who cross paths in Tehran while each pursues morally questionable activities.
From a prostitute whose young son waits nearby during her transactions, to a musician whose one-night stand has disturbing consequences, it is clear that breaking taboos can be a means of personal emancipation. As first-time director Ali Soozandeh explains, "Everyone sees these taboos, but no one talks about them. There is a huge silence at the center of the society that no one breaks. That was the big question I wanted to ask: Why do we all play along?" Tehran Taboo was the first animated feature in the prestigious Critics' Week at the Cannes International Film Festival.
"A beautifully rotoscoped drama with intertwining stories set against the cognitively dissonant clash of Iran's strict, theocratic society and the everyday realities of sex, drugs, and corruption." —Michael Ordona, Los Angeles Times
"A spellbinding animated journey into the underbelly of Iranian society." —E. Nina Rothe, The Huffington Post
"Visually striking. This wily account of 20-something Iranians negotiating an assault course of laws and prohibitions to get their kicks fizzes with energy and bad behavior." —Wendy Ide, Screen International
"An audacious debut. Explores the highly charged theme of sexual and personal freedom in Iran without salaciousness." —Deborah Young, The Hollywood Reporter

That's how little Mikie feels . . . picking words out of our heads.
He's felt that way for a long long time – we know, we've used those words before:
"A Used Condom".
That's how he feels (and felt) after this thing; the "Rape of Little Mikie" combined with "A Groomed Child Rejected: Part Two".
We've had that feeling since we were 17 or so; definitely by the age of 21; or 24; 26.
I guess we've had that feeling all along; ever since that thing happened (the rejection).
And then "The Groomed Child Betrayed" – something yet to be 'published'.
I know a lot of women (and men, tho' we aren't allowed to admit this thing) know what it feels like to be used – a used condom in the making.
They call it 'rape' but we went along (sad fact to say but it is there – and we truly and really did not know any better. Had we known we would have never gone along or gotten along with it.)
But it's sad.
Imagine an 8 or 9 year old child experiencing this thing: the sensation of being a used condom. Something to hold another man's sperm; nothing else anymore: just a THING – something sickened for someone else's pleasure.
And that was a man and that was a child and look what he's done to him. Us selves included sometimes (hurting him; hiding him inside – hiding him from ourselves sometimes (see the Ice World thing.)
Matthew is one who is especially good at that thing. He hid the child from us for 14 years. Or so. Or so he thought. Or so …. something. He had come to hate him: this 'feeling thing' – and all feeling besides (besides rage and depression that is. And loneliness, too: he felt that kind of thing. Still does. Waiting on some man lover to come and save him, I'm reckoning; guessing, not knowing / don't knowing that thing. Knowing he tried with his uncle sometimes (that didn't work out good.) Knowing he tried with others and failed. Knowing he failed all the time (while keeping us alive – good work, Matthew – even if you almost died doing that sort of thing – and killing US beside you). Yeah, there's bitterness in those tears, even if we're not allowed to shed them (another Matthew kinda thing there, folks. See his views on women and emotion; published just today.)
We (he?) hates this thing; all kinds of things (yeah, it's him.) Confusing to us sometimes (not him; the emotions) – for he was once a "Controller" – able to take control of our emotions and things (including some of our own actions) – making them 'his' to control – which means he has a lotta swing and power in his grasp (even if I am 53 years old.) A teenager self run rampant over the ramparts; lord of the castle kinda thing.
An empty castle I'm sorta expecting /suspecting; this kinda sorta thing.
And we're hating it while trying not to hate HIM for creating it … embracing him in our own mind (while he throws OFF our embraces; not wanting any sort of thing .. to do with love and emotions; something which he had once denied when we were 13-1/2; especially and specifically to DO this sort of thing: cutting off ALL emotions and feelings deep inside of him.
And it worked well, this thing … almost for 17 years (?).
Until we met this woman and her family …
no, it started before this thing..
another woman and HER family
and then it all went wrong (not her fault, MINE (M3) for feeling this thing: that we should have a family of our own)
and so it went well until this wife and thing cut us off from the family that had bound us / bind us to this thing called "loving one another" meaning loving someone else kinda thing.
women. You just can't trust 'em. We've learned that lesson well – that one taking us over and under things – into a living hell.
oh well.
Can't trust 'em (Matthew speaking there. He's had a lot of control over the last few days. Wife's fault, he's saying. Surely she is (the one at fault) for her 'making us there' – meaning something, I don't know what. Letting him type a bit between the words . . . because we're hurting . . . .
and little Mikie is feeling like a used condom again.
Too sad for words. (but can't say them: see that "not feeling" thing again".
If you can see how this all ties together – you are doing better than we can.
Just know: we are trying, and trying to love together.
sometimes it's just hard.
Signing off:
Mikie and Friends.

I've been thinking a lot about symbols and stand torn between being fed up on the influx of nu goth things with all these occult symbols mashed together for no other reason than to look cool and kind of liking the availability of my favorite symbols for jewelry.
Now, I'm a firm believer in doing and wearing whatever the fuck you like and really don't think that re-using any sort of symbol or pattern is anyone else's business but your own. They don't have to carry a larger significance than being aesthetically pleasing. But I think it's good to know your shit and since I know I often post pictures of me wearing various symbols I thought I could share some of my thought and knowledge around them.
For me to like a certain symbol I almost always need a special connection to it. Not in a way that have to be profound and almost religious but I like to connect memories and feelings to them in order for them to feel special (to me).
THE ANKH or CRUX ANSATA
I have small pendant of an ankh that I wear almost everyday in periods. The symbol is a hieroglyph from ancient Egypt, very common and found in digs as far away as in Persia and Mesopotamia, and it (probably) means life. It's disputed to show the unity of the male and female, the symbols of Osiris and Isis mashed together and by that, connecting heaven and earth. Still, a symbol of life force. The Egyptian gods are often depicted carrying it in reliefs as a symbol of their eternal life. The god often holds up the ankh before the king's face as a sign of perpetuity as well. Further on, the Christian church borrowed the ankh as a symbol for the resurrection of Christ. The lesser common name crux ansata is Latin for "cross with a handle".
Spiritual religions often use the ankh in as symbol of life, and so does a lot of people in the Gothic subculture.
What's my connection? I've always found the symbol very beautiful and I love the sentiment of eternal life. I have always been fascinated of ancient Egypt and the pendant reminds me of a visit to the British Museum me and my partner in crime made a couple of years ago. It was just pure amazement all the way through and I can't wait to go back again. I'd really love to visit Egypt; the pyramids, Alexandria and Cairo.

Hello, my name is Colin Cromack. I am an independent Golf Performance Coach and creator of the golf coaching program Target Oriented Golf. If you often wonder why you struggle to perform at golf when you are so successful in many other aspects of your life please take time to explore my web site to understand more. My work is as fundamental to you learning how to play golf as technical lessons are to learning how to swing golf clubs efficiently. They are VERY different mental skills. My golf coaching program sits over and above technical coaching methods allowing them all to plug in seamlessly. How? When you learn how to practice and play Target Oriented Golf your technique is furthest most from your mind, as it is when you perform any life skill successfully like driving cars and playing music. I uniquely teach golfers how to STOP focusing their attention on technique in practice and play for this is where mastery lives in EVERY other life skill you perform with trust. I specialise in attentional focus training. This involves helping golfers understand how to use their short term auditory and visual memory brain functions effectively throughout the pre-shot, transition and post-shot routines on the range and golf course. Professional golfers benefit the most from my work but it is essential training for every golfer for it helps you develop technical proficiency faster. These skills take just hours to learn, how long you take to master them is down to your comprehension and practice. You already understand the consequences of not having these skills as witnessed by your inconsistent golf performances, irrespective of your golf status. Over 15 years of research and personal discovery, I have developed an applied, closed loop, psychological coaching program based on detailed understanding of the conscious mind and its impact on physical performance. I have NO doubt that attentional focus IS the art at the heart of high performance golf and for Professional golfers their lack of understanding of this subject matter separates Tiger from his peers. I work with excellent PGA coaches, together we teach golfers how to TRAIN and TRUST their technique. I coach meta-cognition or awareness of mind and it will improve your life on and off the course. Erroneous conscious thought processes, how you CHOOSE to think, are the biggest killer of your golf performance on course and they severely impair your ability to trust your technical instruction and play golf consistently. Attentional focus MUST be effectively trained on the range, in addition to your technique. I do hope you take the opportunity to experience it in your golfing life.more

Vatican No. 2: Anti-pope jihadist attack threat is worrying
Associated Press
ROME – Pope Francis' top aide says a pro-Islamic State group video that targets the pope is worrying but notes Vatican security is already at a high level.
Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Holy See's No. 2 official, told reporters Saturday that a day earlier he had seen the video, which indicates the pope is a target. Recently, another video, transmitted on the pro-IS Telegram channel, suggested that Italy is the next target of an extremist attack.
Parolin said: "Obviously, one cannot help but worry, above all for the senseless hatred that it is." But he said the Vatican hasn't added more measures to its already high security.
The Vatican, headquarters of the Catholic church, and Italy have been indicated previously as possible targets of Islamist extremism.

What a Waste
Yesterday it rained most of the day. We did make it out to the parade in the drizzle but it really wasn't bad. Aiden and Olivia weren't big fans of the noisy fire trucks but when asked if he had a good time Aiden got a big smile on his face and replied with a "yeah!" so that made it worth it. Our town still put on a fireworks show, apparently because the people doing it couldn't come back tonight for a rain date, and basically wasted about $25,000 worth of fireworks. We most certainly didn't go but a few people we know did and said it was very disappointing. I hate that we didn't get to see fireworks on the 4th this year but we did get to see them last week and it was awesome so I can't complain too much. I hope your 4th was filled with family and fun.

New era of expensive oil
Diesel prices, however, have been rising steadily, at a faster pace than other petroleum products including gasoline, as global demand increased. At the same time, the Korean government has been raising the domestic tax on diesel with a goal to make it almost - but not exactly - as expensive as gasoline. The idea is to protect the environment by curbing diesel consumption. Combine these two factors, the result is people being forced to pay more for diesel than for gasoline at the pump, although in theory, diesel is supposed to be cheaper than gasoline because of the quality differential.
Refiners must be having a field day - who would've thought they could sell diesel at higher prices than gasoline? Particulalry, Korean refiners are so-called "export-oriented" refiners, with products like diesel making up the bulk of their exports. So, as long as overseas folks like China buy, they will make money.
Meanwhile, SUV drivers like my parents are getting screwed, but more broadly, truckers and bus drivers will be hit hard, and eventually, the impact will be felt by consumers. As such, truckers' unions are threatening to walk out if the government doesn't do something about this. And the government is busy trying to come up with a solution, looking into giving subsidies to certain businesses or even lowering the tax.
But with oil prices trending up, we all know none of these measures will solve the problems fundamentally, especially given that using fiscal policies to control oil prices can only be detrimental to economies. So everyone's hands are tied. Perhaps it's about time to really give a serious thought to going green.

I just saw your blog. I am a korean adoptee who lives in the US for half the year. The other half of the year I work in a little country called Equatorial Guinea in central Africa. Equatorial Guinea is the third richest oil country in Africa, and I am a chemical engineer for one of the major oil companies producing oil here. Prior to this I worked at a refinery.
The reason diesel prices were traditional lower then gasoline prices was not because of the quality difference, it was due to the difference in supply and demand.
There are two types of refineries. they are labelled as 3-2-1 or 3-1-2. The reason for this is because for every 3 barrels of oil - 2 barrels of gasoline - 1 barrel of diesel is made or 3 oil, 1 gasoline, 2 diesel. The vast majority of the refineries in the US (probably in the world) were 3-2-1, making more gasoline that diesel because it made more money. However, when gasoline prices rose, the demand for diesel steadily grew and was competitive with gasoline.
In the US there is only 1 company that primarily operates on the 3-1-2 ratio of oil:gasoline:diesel. That company is Valero. When the pricing of diesel switched to be more expensive then gasoline, they made a lot more money then any other refining company did because their plants were designed to produce more diesel. The price difference wasnt because it costs more or less to produce (they actually cost about the same) its that the supply of diesel is severely limited.
I am glad to see your last paragraph/statement. In the US a big issue right now is a lot of the politicians (particularly the democrats) want to impose a "windfall profit tax". Basicaly taxing oil companies for the profits they made. This is not a solution because the oil companies will just "pass" the cost onto the consumers as any company does. Also, an interesting side note, in the last 5 years (with high oil prices) the US government has made more money than all of the oil companies combined. Thats irony for you :)

Intelligent design
The Korean government are forward thinkers. Some bright spark at the internal affairs office realised that instead of buying costly street sweepers they could just use bored middle aged women. Thusly every Korean mother or aunt is bowlegged, shaped like a question mark and smells of bins. But those street corners, wow.

I used to not be afraid of ruining leather.
But, after having my 911 leather for ten years, I put Lexol on the leather, and shortly ruined it.
Within the month, the leather dash and seats started drawing up and pulling out of the seams.
The reason I link it to the Lexol is the timing; of course it could have been the age.
Any advice on how to care for the leather properly?

When detailing my car for Concours last year, I ran the vac through to remove debris then used Autoglym Leather Cleaner and a soft brush to clean the seats, followed by Autoglym Leather Care Balm to protect. Very happy with the result.

Gliptone liquid leather products and a shoe cream in the correct colour that contains no silicone something like Saphir and I assure you you can not do better than that as someone who works with leather. I have tried autoglym and I would say its very decent but I wouldn't recommend it.
However saying all this it also depends what kind of leather you are working with the leather in a 190 is top.

Bought this highly rated balm to protect leather from amazon
Comes in a tub, a bit like a hard car wax to apply.
Really gives the leather depth. Used on the bright blue leather bolsters in my 2008 mini. Also gave the tub to my dad who did his whole settee with excellent results!
Great price too and tub will last forever.

Thank you Deleted User & Daveycooper for the tips.
My dads recently purchased C Class and my mum's recently purchased B Class both have half leather.
That should help preserve it

For cleaning the seats I use Pears Glycerine soap. Plenty of info on the web out there on this. It's a very cheap, but good, cleaner. You will need to feed the seats after. My seats at 147,00 miles cleaned with pears soap and fed with Autoglym leather cream..

2 months since birth and yes! I got the green light to start exercising! I was aiming at October 1st as my official start date for training and it looks like I'll be able to meet that. Now, keep in mind that I haven't exercised AT ALL since week 20 of the pregnancy, and that since beginning of pregnancy, exercise was a very minimum. Last time I ran was almost a year ago. I know my last race was 10 for Texas of last year, which was in October.
So… I'm a little bit scared to start to say the least. I've been thinking of how to start, what to start with etc. I know I have to do a lot of strengthening and stretching in the beginning, that will be key for me – and my tendencies for injury (IT band syndrome, shoulder tendinitis, back and neck pain). I will make myself a little schedule to keep track of progress but mainly to keep motivated.
Of course, I'm still hauling a few extra pounds. Like 20. Amazing. It's a weird feeling really to have 20 pounds to loose. I never thought I'd say that. But I'm optimistic. I haven't been watching what I eat since birth and not exercising, except for lifting my now 10 pounds bundle of joy – hey, maybe I'm building biceps? I started this week to count the calories and I plan on doing my first workout this Saturday. Hopefully it melts off fast!
How will I get through this year and make it to the starting line in Mont Tremblant??? Hmmmm…. I need some serious organisation, support and will power!!!!

A consortium of major food companies has joined IBM in a blockchain collaboration to boost consumer confidence in the food supply chain.
The consortium includes Nestlé, Tyson Foods, Unilever, Walmart and many more. They will work alongside IBM to identify new areas where the global supply chain can benefit from blockchain.
Blockchain is defined as "a continuously growing list of records, called blocks, which are linked and secured using cryptography".
Now this major industry collaboration want to explore how this disruptive technology can be used to make the supply chain safer.
Blockchain can be used to improve food traceability by providing trusted information on the origin and state of food.
The technology established a trusted environment for all transactions. So, all participants in the supply chain can gain permissioned access to trusted information regarding the origin and state of food for their transactions.
This can enable food providers and other members of the ecosystem to use a blockchain network to trace contaminated product to its source in a short amount of time to ensure safe removal from store shelves and stem the spread of illnesses.
"Unlike any technology before it, blockchain is transforming the way like-minded organizations come together and enabling a new level of trust based on a single view of the truth," said Marie Wieck, General Manager, IBM Blockchain.
She added: "Our work with organisations across the food ecosystem, as well as IBM's new platform, will further unleash the vast potential of this exciting technology, making it faster for organizations of all sizes and in all industries to move from concept to production to improve the way business gets done."

New York, New York
Over four decades, composer Robert Sirota has developed a distinctive voice, clearly discernible in all of his work – whether symphonic, choral, stage, or chamber music.
Robert Sirota's chamber works have been performed by the Washington Square Contemporary Music Society, Sequitur, Chameleon Arts Ensemble, Left Bank Concert Society, Dinosaur Annex, the Chiara, American and Blair String Quartets, Ethel, The Peabody, Concord, and Webster Trios, and the Fischer Duo, and at the Tanglewood, Aspen, Yellow Barn and Cooperstown festivals. Orchestral performances include the Seattle, Vermont, Virginia, East Texas, Lincoln (Neb), Meridian (Miss), New Haven, Greater Bridgeport, Oradea (Romania) and Saint Petersburg (Russia) symphonies, as well as conservatory orchestras of Oberlin, Peabody, Manhattan School of Music, Toronto, and Singapore.
Sirota's liturgical works include three major commissions for the American Guild of Organists: In the Fullness of Time, a concerto for organ and orchestra, Mass for chorus, organ and percussion, and Apparitions for organ and string quartet, as well as works for solo organ, organ and cello, and organ and piano.
Recipient of grants from the Guggenheim Foundation, the United States Information Agency, National Endowment for the Arts, Meet The Composer, and the American Music Center, Sirota is recorded on the Capstone, Albany, New Voice and Gasparo labels. His music is published by Muzzy Ridge Music, Boelke-Bomart (Hal Leonard), Music Associates of New York, MorningStar, Theodore Presser, and To the Fore.
A native New Yorker, Sirota's earliest compositional training began at the Juilliard School; he received his bachelor's degree in piano and composition from the Oberlin Conservatory, where he studied with Joseph Wood and Richard Hoffman. A Thomas J. Watson Fellowship allowed him to study and concertize in Paris, where his principal teacher was Nadia Boulanger. Returning to America, Sirota earned a Ph.D. from Harvard University, studying with Earl Kim and Leon Kirchner.
Before becoming Director of the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University in 1995, Sirota served as Chairman of the Department of Music and Performing Arts Professions at New York University and Director of Boston University's School of Music. From 2005-2012, he was the President of Manhattan School of Music, where he was also a member of the School's composition faculty. years, served as chairman of the Department of Music and Performing Arts Professions at New York University and director of the Boston University School of Music.

Plans for a £900m redevelopment of Whitechapel are set to transform the area over the next 15-years as Tower Hamlets Council seeks to take advantage of the new Crossrail station opening in 2018.
The proposals set-out a revitalised Whitechapel Road with new offices, shops and homes funded by a mix of grants and private finance. The surrounding areas will also see a comprehensive regeneration programme particularly on Durward Street (behind Whitechapel Station) and behind the old Royal London Hospital where a medical research hub will be located dubbed Med-City.
The council's consultation paper says the project will provide 3,500 new homes, 5,000 new jobs, a new shopping centre and market layout, leisure and community facilities, a new civic hub, an 'iconic' high-rise mixed use building and seven new public squares.
If the plans get off the ground the major works are expected to start by 2019 with a few smaller projects starting in 2024. A number of projects, including a new leisure centre on Vallance Road and the regeneration of old Barts buildings behind the old hospital, are expected to be completed by 2018 when the Crossrail station opens on Whitechapel Road.
The Mayor of Tower Hamlets, Lutfur Rahman, believes the new Crossrail station – that connects Whitechapel to Canary Wharf and Heathrow airport via central London – will put the area on the map and proceed a sharp increase in footfall and population growth.
Although it isn't clear if the council is encouraging the increase or attempting to manage it with the consultation paper stating on one hand that the plans were intended 'to encourage people out of the station and to shop, socialise and live in the area' while on the other 'the purpose of the Masterplan is to manage the expected growth'.
Given the population in Whitechapel grew by 33% between 2001 and 2011 (to 17,600) when there was a fraction of the development proposed it can probably be taken to be both.
However the full project is far from assured. While the Council are likely to rubber-stamp the move agreement has to be reached with key stakeholders including Transport for London, Queen Mary University, Royal London Hospital, Royal Mail as well as several smaller companies including Sainsburys, Safestore and Barclays, who all own property and land necessary for the project to proceed.
Private developers must also be found to invest tens, if not hundreds, of millions in expensive new homes, shops and offices in return for carrying out work for the council.
The Mayor said the programme of works will be to the benefit of residents, but it could be those same residents who benefit least.
While there are no plans to knock down significant amounts of council housing to make way for the new development, property prices and rents are expected to rise significantly on the back of it forcing people on low incomes and benefits out of the area.
The plans suggest 33% of the 3,500 new homes to be built will be 'affordable' – allegedly a mix of social, shared ownership and for sale – but 'affordable to who' is the common response with new social rents set at 80% of market value and buyers needing to earn £100k+ to buy a no-frills flat.
However, it's not all doom and gloom. For those who are left – and who don't mind an increasingly gentrified Whitechapel – there will be a welcome facelift to the area with much improved facilities and services.
Here's a list of the main programme of works:
- Old Royal London Hospital Building: convert into a civic hub to provide public services and potentially acting as a satellite town hall holding council meetings. Also retail space, a media hub and community and leisure facilities. (2013 to 2023)
- Whitechapel Road shopping experience: improved retail space on both sides of the road and additional units on the south to create a High Street feel. (2013 to 2023)
- Improved market: improved market layout with better storage and stalls. Extend market stalls to south side of Whitechapel Road. (2013 to 2018)
- Durward Street Crossrail exit: development next to main station exit to include retail, leisure and entertainment on lower floors and high-density residential on upper floors. Also potential for high-rise mixed-use 'iconic' building. (2019 to 2023)
- Durward Street leisure centre: create new leisure centre on site of old with retail space on ground floor and high-density residential units above. Will replace existing council-owned social housing. (2013 to 2018)
- Sainsburys and car park: build bigger Sainsburys with high-density residential units above. (2013 to 2023)
- Old Barts buildings: redevelopment of old hospital-owned buildings on New Road and behind old RLH building on Varden Street and Ashfield Street – including nurses accommodation – into high-density residential quarter with retail, office and research space called Med-City. (2013 to 2018)
- Post Office building: redevelop and replace with 'iconic' building providing retail and commercial space on ground floor and high-density residential on upper floors. (2018 to 2023)
- Cavell Street: relocate homeless charity Whitechapel Mission – on corner of Whitechapel Road and Cavell Street – and replace with public space potentially used as night market. New area by entrance to hospital for patients and visitors to relax. (2013 to 2023)
- Raven Row: replace Safestore warehouse (between Royal Mail and Sydney Street) with small business and retail space, leisure, hotel and community facilities and residential blocks. (2018 to 2023)
- Barclays Bank: redevelop bank on corner of Whitechapel Road and Sydney Street into retail space on ground floor and residential on upper floors. (2024+)


text: Roger J Smith 3,734 Posted January 13, 2010 Severe flood threat for Friday-Saturday ??_________________________________________Looks to me as though a rapid thaw and locally heavy rain will combine on Friday and Saturday to produce a widespread flood threat in the UK and Ireland. I would leave the specifics of which river valleys to your better judgement but the weather parameters are developing quite consistently on all the models. It's very similar looking to mid-November with the monsoonal heavy rain, strong southerly flow and mild temperatures, but although the rain potential here is bound to be less (by half, hopefully) the ground is now of course frozen and widely snow-covered.I don't feel that an extensive analysis is required here, it's a very straightforward situation, snow and cold to late Thursday, quick temperature increases followed by strong winds and heavy rains by Friday night into Saturday, especially in western parts of the UK and much of Ireland too (where snow depths have increased in places following Tuesday's rather complex storm).That's about all I have to kick off a discussion on it. There may be many areas at risk of serious flooding, as temperatures soar towards 10 C or even higher in places. All but the deepest high mountain snow will quickly be gone under these conditions.

|So many male Peregrine banded on Santa Rosa this year! Is that unusual for the Channel Islands nests overall or in the general population? Maybe because there are larger clutches the numbers are pretty even for male/female chicks? Or is recording sex on a large scale too new to come up with any conclusions? Inquiring minds would love to know!

'Milk' by the director Gus Van Sant
A very inspirational movie from an original screenplay by Dustin Lance Black about the gay community raised around Castro's theatre fighting for their rights in California in 70s. "Milk" tells the story of Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man elected to public office in the United States in 1977 as one of a transformed life, a victory for individual freedom over state persecution, and a political and social cause.
Gus Van Sant's film begins with Harvey Milk at 48, reflecting into his tape recorder about a personal journey that began at 40 when he made a decision that changed his life and the lives of many others. He took responsibility, as gay man, and he stepped out in defense of the rights of homosexual, becoming the public face of the movement.
With an extraordinary Sean Penn and a cast of amazing actors as such James Franco, as Scott; Emile Hirsch as the activist Cleve Jones; Josh Brolin as Dan White and Victor Gaber as Major Moscone, the several winner awarded Gus Van Sant composes a story that mixes an inspirational movie with an emotionally loaded drama and a historical documentary. Sean Penn is able to breathe life in the character of Harvey Milk with simplicity, never being stereotypical or contrived. Harvey Milk is represented as a whole person in his political commitment, his personal life and relationships all flowing into the daily life of the politic activist, the politician from the heart out and holding up idealism and will of changing, whatever it takes. As the American film critic Roger Ebert wrote:
'Sean Penn never tries to show Harvey Milk as a hero, and never needs to. He shows him as an ordinary man, kind, funny, flawed, shrewd, idealistic, yearning for a better world. He shows what such an ordinary man can achieve. Milk was the right person in the right place at the right time, and he rose to the occasion. So was Rosa Parks. Sometimes, at a precise moment in history, all it takes is for one person to stand up. Or sit down.'
The 'ordinary' guy that used to open every public speech with the sentence 'I'm Harvey Milk and I'm here to recruit you' moved the United States and create a bridge in the society mindset of that years. He and his fellows contributed to make possible for the minorities, the 'us'', the outcasts, to stick together and to gain an identity, to 'step out of the closets' and stand up for themselves. Not only gays, but lesbian, women, black people, seniors, Asian, etc. In 1977, it was not possible to be if not in the mainstream. In such a prude and conservative environment, Milk made a powerful appeal to closeted gays to come out to their families, friends and co-workers, so the straight world might stop demonizing the abstract idea of homosexuality, being forced to face real people with real needs and rights. Milk helped to inspire a powerful movement, before everything else, where homosexual people started to be self-aware and not feeling alone but part of something, being recognized and respected as human being before the sexual orientation. 'If a bullet should enter my brain, let that bullet destroy every closet door in the country' is perhaps a term that best characterises the mindset of Milk.
'It's not my victory, it's yours and yours and yours. If a gay can win, it means there is hope that the system can work for all minorities if we fight. We've given them hope' is another famous quote.
Very touching the final scene showing a candlelight march reaching as far as the eyes can see in memory of Harvey, the friend, the man and the public hero. This is an actual footage from that period. All the district and all the streets of San Francisco was lighted by thousands of candles, the hope that Milk lighted survived to him.
Touching and educational movie, quite interesting to understand better the political movement in 70s.

I have a policy not to talk about work on here, which is a shame because really, work is the most interesting thing about my life right now. I'm bending the rules today because I think this is equally interesting and uncompromising.
Some colors so straddle a line it's difficult to say exactly what they are; for an entire semester of my junior year of high school I had an ongoing argument with my then-boyfriend about whether a particular mouse-pad was purple or blue; my eyes could be green or blue depending on what you were predisposed to see. I know that sometimes cultures see colors differently- that languages in Northern climes have more words for "white," that the Romans didn;t have a concept of "gray": things we consider to be gray they thought of as dark blue or dark green. I've never come across serious disagreements before though, on the basics: that trees are green, the sky is blue, the moon is white.
My co-worker K. teaches a beginner's Turkish class to a group of Nigerian immigrants. The lesson the other day was on colors, which is usually pretty straightforward: point at something green and say, "yeşil." Draw water and say, "mavi." But when he drew water and said, "mavi," he ran into difficulties, because the students refused to recognize water as being blue. Which, okay, isn't really when you think about it. So K. indicated his satchel, which was a dark gray-ish blue, and got into another argument about how that wasn't blue either. "Blue is general," he tried to explain. "It encompasses many shades." They were unconvinced, but the lesson moved on. Next K drew a big sun on the board to demonstrate "yellow," and the Nigerians didn't understand at all.
"The sun isn't yellow," they protested. "It's bright."
So it is, so it is.

The word 'Lent' ('Vasten') on the reverse of the panel suggests that the subject of the painting may be connected to the religious practice of eating fish during the period of Lent, while the inscription on the front means 'full and sweet' and can be seen as a description of the contents of the barrel.
The present work is closely related to one of a pair of paintings, representing the same subject, with Richard Green in 1996 (cat. no. 20), which also includes instruments of the Passion that link it more clearly to Lent, while its pendant (cat. no. 21) depicts items related to the feast of Saint Nicholas.

Parish of Esher
reconciling, sustaining, guiding, and healing
Now finished and looking lovely - please do take a look. Many thanks to the donors who made this possible and also to Rosemary Elliott and James Worthington for leading the project.
We have often said the lack of a church hall inhibits our community and its mission. This property, directly opposite Christ Church, has recently come onto the market, c. £750k, and we 'own' the building next door. Is this part of God's plan for us ……?
The 10.30am service on Sunday 6 September will be with Esher Green Baptist Church and will be outside on Esher Green itself. Please do join us for this ecumenical celebration of God's creation.
This year St George's, Christ Church and the Parish as a whole will be very much a part of the West End Summer Show on Saturday 29 August. We will be offering teas in the Village Hall, the legendary cake and bread stalls in St George's and face painting outside. Perhaps with some musical entertainment thrown in!
We will be undertaking an act of remembrance for The Royal Regiment of Artillery on the 200th Anniversary of The Battle of Waterloo on Thursday 18 June at 4pm.
The Parish of Esher is pleased to announce a fabulous Summer Ball at the Cobham Curve on Friday 12 June, 7.30pm to 12.30am. A black tie evening of dancing with a cash bar, fish & chip supper, raffle and more. All proceeds go to the Parish of Esher. Tickets £15. Please contact the Parish Office for further details - 01372 462282 or firstname.lastname@example.com
On the Feast of Pentecost, recalling the gift of God's Spirit poured out upon all, we considered how we may explore the spiritual gifts we are given. There are many tools available, such as the one offered by CPAS which may be downloaded from this article - click on read more to see the file.
A PRACTICAL TOOL FOR DISCERNING GOD'S GUIDANCE FOR OUR DECISIONS (Funk, M. (2003), Discernment Matters: Listening with the Ear of the Heart, Chapter 3). It assumes our heart's desire is God, however, obscured this may be.
This year Christ Church and the Parish as a whole will be very much a part of the Esher May Fair on Saturday 16 May - we don't want to miss the fun! We will have a stall on the green and the church will throw open it's doors to welcome one and all.
You are warmly invited to come and celebrate the good news Christ is Risen at one of our three morning Services. These are @ 8am @ Christ Church, Esher; 9am @ St. George's, West End; 1030am @ Christ Church, Esher. The former is a BCP service, the latter two services are sung communions.

Apologies and explanations
Hi to all!
As you have surely discovered, early this week this blog changed a bit its scope. News, and articles from other blogs started piling up here. Sometimes, reblogs are here reblogged too. I am working to introduce you to new models and work purely made by myself, but in the meantime, I have discovered that the audience searches for curated content on the matter too. I'll try to close the gaps from the original sources and the reblogs here so you can access the full articles with only one click.
I apologize for any inconvenience, and hope you understand.
Chocolate says "I'm sorry" so much better than words.
