GWS go back-to-back in AFL for first time
Greater Western Sydney have the confidence to believe they can beat anyone after notching back-to-back AFL wins for the first time and adding to their record book.
Following last week's 45-point away win over Brisbane, the 15.10 (100) to 14.8 (92) victory over Carlton at Spotless Stadium on Sunday gave the third-season franchise their first set of successive victories.
They kicked 10 goals in the first half for the first time in their history and their score of 10.2 was also their biggest opening-half total.
The Giants move to a 4-9 win-loss record, the same as the Blues, who suffered a fourth straight loss.
"It (winning back-to-back) installs that belief that no matter who we play now, we can beat them," Giants forward Jonathon Patton said.
"We had that belief earlier in the year, but that went for a few weeks but we've got it back now."
Giants coach Leon Cameron said his team's efforts over the past four rounds following a 113-point shellacking by Richmond was really pleasing.
"They want to stand for something; they are standing for their defensive work," Cameron said.
"To get a couple in a row and now four for the year - and be really competitive in probably 10 out of 13 weeks - has created an enormous amount of confidence."
Down by 22 points late in the second quarter, Carlton pulled back to within eight in both the third and final terms.
The Giants scored plenty of goals from turnovers, while Carlton didn't notch a set-shot goal until the third quarter.
"Last week, I was probably disappointed for the players. This week, I'm very disappointed in (them)," Carlton coach Mick Malthouse said.
"We were dreadful in one touch. We gave the ball back to them time and time and time again and you can't win games of footy when you give the ball back."
While lamenting the lack of individual leadership, Malthouse refused to use the late withdrawal of captain Marc Murphy with hamstring tightness after the warm-up as an excuse.
Rhys Palmer kicked three goals for GWS, with Will Hoskin-Elliott, Dylan Shiel and Patton each bagging two.
For Carlton, Troy Menzel kicked three while Jarrad Waite, Brock McLean and Dale Thomas all contributed two.
Ruckman Shane Mumford logged 55 hitouts for GWS, while Stephen Coniglio and Callan Ward tallied 29 touches for the winners and Mitch Robinson notched 31 possessions for the Blues.

If you are a nodejs person, I recommend checking out util.promisify . This tiny thing helps you convert your node style callback into promises.nodejs

You can also use it as a safety wrapper around a value which you are unsure whether it is a promise or regular value.

One of my favourite use case is rejecting early with

. (
for this tip.
How often do we fear errors being gobbled up somewhere in between?
To overcome this fear, here's a very simple tip:
Make the rejection handling the problem of the parent function.
Ideally, rejection handling should be at the root of your app and all the promise rejections trickle down to it.1.2 User Generated Content
Apps with user-generated content present particular challenges, ranging from intellectual property infringement to anonymous bullying. To prevent abuse, apps with user-generated content or social networking services must include:
Apps with user-generated content or services that end up being used primarily for pornographic content, objectification of real people (e.g. "hot-or-not" voting), making physical threats, or bullying do not belong on the AppStore and may be removed without notice. If your app includes user-generated content from a web-based service, it may display incidental mature "NSFW" content, provided that the content is hidden by default and only displayed when the user turns it on via your website.1.3 Kids Category
The Kids Category is a great way for people to easily find apps that are designed for children. If you want to participate in the Kids Category, you should focus on creating a great experience specifically for younger users. These apps must not include links out of the app, purchasing opportunities, or other distractions to kids unless reserved for a designated area behind a parental gate. Keep in mind that once customers expect your app to follow the Kids Category requirements, it will need to continue to meet these guidelines in subsequent updates, even if you decide to deselect the category. Learn more about parental gates .
Apps in the Kids Category may not include behavioral advertising (e.g. the advertiser may not serve ads based on the user's activity), and any contextual ads must be appropriate for young audiences. You should also pay particular attention to privacy laws around the world relating to the collection of data from children online. Be sure to review the Privacy section of these guidelines for more information.1.4 Physical Harm
If your app behaves in a way that risks physical harm, we may reject it. For example:1.5 Developer Information
People need to know how to reach you with questions and support issues. Make sure your app and its Support URL include an easy way to contact you; this is particularly important for apps that may be used in the classroom. Failure to include accurate and up-to-date contact information not only frustrates customers, but may violate the law in some countries. Also ensure that Wallet passes include valid contact information from the issuer and are signed with a dedicated certificate assigned to the brand or trademark owner of the pass.1.6 Data Security
Apps should implement appropriate security measures to ensure proper handling of user information collected pursuant to the Apple Developer Program License Agreement and these Guidelines (see Guideline 5.1 for more information) and prevent its unauthorized use, disclosure, or access by third parties.
Purport to represent whole cities, regions, countries or official policy makers without the approval of DiEM25's CC. For this purpose, they are assigned names such as DSC London 1, DSC Barcelona 1, etc. so that when other DSCs appear in the same vicinity they can adopt the names DSC London 2, DSC Barcelona 2 etc.
To make clear that opinions expressed are those of the particular DSC, and not of DiEM25 for the whole region/country in which the DSC is located, DSCs will use the white background logo for public online posts, while the broader organisation will use the orange/red logo. DSCs will also sign all press releases and other materials with their DSC name or with "DiEM25 Volunteers in …", so as to distinguish them from messages by elected representatives of DiEM25. (See details on Social Media Rules for DSCs and Volunteers )
How to create a DSC
The up-to-date list of DSCs can always be found at
Converse Chuck TaylorR All StarR Dainty Ox Low Top Sneaker Women p0qftDBOQn
. If there is already a DSC in your city, you are still encouraged to create another one, as each DSC is supposed to have no more than 15 active members. Of course you are encouraged to coordinate informally with the other DSCs in your area or group of DiEM25 members interested in the same theme/policy area.
Principles of successful DSC meetings
Small group discussion is the key element in empowering members. People become more committed through the physical act of speaking. Conversely if people do not speak at all in a meeting or very little, then they become passive and feel disempowered. The primary aim of DSC meetings should be to motivate and empower its members through peer-group activities that build a collective identity and a common political outlook.
DSCs must strive to find answers to the question: What do DiEM25 values and principles meanin practice?How can meetings make participants leave the (physical or digital) room feeling enthused rather than alienated?
DSCs are encouraged to discuss within them, but also across different DSCs, the rules of inclusive engagement so members are aware of them from the beginning, and to avoid having to conjure them up after anti-social and coercive behaviour is observed.
Procedure to create a local DSC
Go to the "Meet Local Members" forum and navigate to the subforum for your country or region. Either create or answer a post about forming a DSC there. Then write an email to volunteer@ null diem25.org . If you have already had a physical meeting of at least five people, you will receive an official DSC name and listing in the directory, where others can find you. If you haven't yet had such a meeting, we can help you send a message to all DiEMers in your city in order to jump-start the process.
Insulin has recently also been shown to suppress AP-1 ( 25 ), a transcription factor that regulates the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). MMPs are capable of lysing collagen and other matrix proteins and thereby allow the spread of inflammatory cells ( 33 – 36 . They thus mediate the thinning and finally the rupture of the atherosclerotic plaque, which triggers thrombosis as described above. MMPs also mediate the initial intimal injury, which allows the monocytes to enter the subendothelial intima in between endothelial cells. The suppression of MMPs secondary to that of AP-1 would therefore be protective to the endothelium and to the fibrous cap of the plaque. This could be useful in the clinical setting of unstable angina, which is associated with the rupture of the atherosclerotic plaque. AP-1 and MMPs are also suppressed by glucocorticoids in vitro ( 37 , 38 ) and in vivo ( 19 ). Glucocorticoids also suppress Egr-1 and, more than likely therefore, TF and PAI-1 ( 39 ).
One mechanism underlying the anti-inflammatory effect of insulin may be through the release of NO from the endothelium; NO is known to exert an anti-inflammatory effect (
Donna KaranRachel Multi Strap ax5GDUTw
). Insulin has also been shown to induce an increase in the expression of NO synthase (NOS), the enzyme that generates NO ( 41 ). The induction of NOS and the release of NO acutely impart to insulin a vasodilatory property through the action of NO on the vascular smooth muscle. A similar effect of insulin on platelets allows it to exert an anti-aggregatory effect. The platelet has NOS that is activated by insulin to induce the generation of NO. NO exerts its effects on vascular smooth muscle and platelets through the activation of guanylate cyclase, which generates cGMP from GTP ( 42 – 44 ). The vasodilatory and antiplatelet effects are clearly of importance in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction. It is also of interest that NO may mediate at least a part of the anti-inflammatory effect attributable to insulin since the coincubation of an NOS inhibitor, nitro-arginine, with insulin and human aortic endothelial cells neutralizes the suppressive effect of insulin on the expression of ICAM-1 by these cells ( Helly Hansen Marion Winter Boot Womens w7wvBvrH
It should be mentioned that insulin sensitizers of the thiazolidinedione (TZD) class have been shown to exert anti-inflammatory effects including the suppression of NF-κB, ROS generation, and p47
subunit in mononuclear cell (MNC) and plasma concentrations of ICAM-1, MCP-1, TNF-α, and CRP. More recently, rosiglitazone has been shown to suppress plasma MMP-9 concentrations in diabetes (
). While one expects their effects to be useful in chronic situations, it is relevant that their anti-inflammatory effects are observed in 3–7 days in humans in vivo. In an experimental model of acute myocardial infarction, even a single dose of rosiglitazone has been shown to reduce myocardial damage by 50% (
Fabulicious Lip 101MG Platform Slide Womens tNaZN
). Therefore, the potential anti-inflammatory effect of TZDs in acute clinical situations requires investigation.

The Florida Gators' baseball team played a nine-inning split scrimmage on Friday under ideal baseball weather in November at McKethan Stadium.
The team split evenly into two squads with the home team winning 4-0, led by starting pitcher Kirsten Whitson. Whitson, a junior, looked to be in the form he displayed as an incoming freshman two seasons ago when he regularly hit the mid-90s on his fastball.
Whitson pitched three shutout innings of one-hit baseball reaching the 90s on his fastball and displayed a wicked change up. He looks to be ready for a weekend starter at this stage of the fall season.
The Gators have added speed with freshman outfielder Taylor Ratliff reaching base on his first three trips to the plate that included a base on balls, a single and a double. New shortstop, true freshman Richie Martin, made solid defensive plays and also showed a lot of speed with a stolen base. Sophomore Josh Tobias had a strong outing with three hits, two stolen bases and ended the game with a long double that bounced over the fence.
The pitching is a little farther along than the hitting at this time as both teams combined for a total of 11 hits. In addition to Whitson's performance, Right-hander pitcher Taylor Simpson pitched three innings without giving up any runs, freshman right-hander Eric Hanhold also pitched three shutout innings. Right-handed pitcher Jason Carmichael pitched no-run ball for a couple of innings.
There were no home runs and that might be something fans might expect from this team in 2013. The power bats of Mike Zunino, Preston Tucker and Brian Johnson, all high draft picks, are gone. This team will likely rely on pitching, defense, speed and a little more small ball to try and reach Omaha for the fourth consecutive time.
The Gators have gathered a seventh-ranked recruiting class, so coach Kevin O'Sullivan has given them that opportunity once again. It's early and the hitting should come around.

Starcraft 2: FTW Broadcasting Commentaries
Awall and Danny started Starcraft 2 FTWBroadcasting as a vehicle to combine our two favorite things: Video Games, and working on a project together. We are doing Starcraft 2 Dual Commentaries in HD on You Tube and loving it! We are striving to bring Esports to as many people as possible. We whole-heartedly support the Starcraft Community, and will continue to do so for a long time.
We each pick a player to win at the beginning of each match. This makes our SC2 commentary heated and exciting because we are both emotionally invested in our player winning the game. We love competition, and that's a huge reason why "FTW" is the name of our broadcasting venture. We are always in it "For The Win"!
How did we meet? On the first day of college Awall spotted Danny on the steps of our dorm and asked, "Do you Play Warcraft 3?". We have been best friends ever since.
Awall's plays Protoss, and Danny play Terran and Zerg. We find all of the races to be exciting in their own regard, that's why Blizzard has always been the leader in RTS games. Whether the match-up is TvZ, TvP, TvT, PvZ, PvT, PvP, ZvT, ZvP, or ZvZ... we have to get in on that HOT Starcraft 2 Action!

What if I need help at night or on weekends?
Can I receive assistance with personal care, meal preparation, and/or light housekeeping?
What are my rights as a patient?
Yes. We are one of the state's largest non-profit providers of Medicare-certified home health care. As the region's oldest hospital-based home care agency, South Shore Visiting Nurse Association (SSVNA) has been bringing quality, compassionate skilled care to South Shore communities since 1911.
Home health care agencies that are Medicare-certified, state licensed, and accredited are reviewed and audited on a regular basis, which means they must meet high standards. All staff and volunteers at such at certified facilities are carefully screened, trained, and supervised. It is your right to ask for this information. You should be selective about anyone you invite into your home to provide care for you or your loved one. The best way to select a home health care provider is to call and speak with someone from the agency.
No. Although many VNAs offer similar services, each agency is unique. Each is a separate entity with its own menu of services, staff, and board of directors, and each provides services within its own specific service area.
Medicare, Medicaid, and the majority of private health insurance policies cover most VNA and Hospice services when ordered by a physician. Long-term care insurance and US Department of Veterans Affairs insurance also cover many home care services. In addition, there are a variety of public programs that can help with the costs of home care. We would be pleased to contact your insurance plan to inquire about your coverage for our services.
Services that are not covered by an outside resource can be paid for by the patient or family. To assure that no one is denied care because of inability to pay, South Shore Hospital Home Care charges on a sliding scale for VNA and Hospice services not covered by insurance. Our private duty home care program may also be brought in to supplement or extend care that is covered by health insurance. Our Home and Health Resources Program offers a variety of economical service packages tailored to your specific needs. Your financial information will always be kept in strict confidence.
back to top
To receive VNA services that are covered by Medicare, Medicaid, or most private insurances, you must be referred by a physician. You may also be referred to us by other sources – such as a hospital, nursing home, or even your family or friends – but, in these cases, a physician must order a plan of care for you before we can begin providing services. Your insurance coverage or payment source must also be verified.
Every case is different, because every patient is unique. We will work with you, your doctor, and insurance provider to develop a plan of care that best meets your needs. We will also develop specific goals and schedule visits accordingly. The duration of home care will depend upon your goals and your progress in meeting them, which will be reviewed during each visit. When your goals are met, your physician will be notified, and you will be discharged.
During your first visit, your condition and needs will be assessed by a specially trained nurse, rehabilitation therapist, and/or specialty clinician, who will then develop your care plan. Each plan of care is unique to the patient. Your care plan could include a variety of services. Your plan may include skilled nursing and/or rehabilitation services. It might involve disease, pain, and/or medication or IV management.
The length of home care visits varies. Each home visit lasts as long as it takes to provide the needed care. This could take anywhere from about a half hour to two hours or sometimes even longer.
Telemonitoring is an exciting new technology that allows us to keep track of your health status even when a nurse or clinician isn't present in your home. We are able to check your vital signs every day via a system that automatically sends the information directly to our clinicians for review through a secure web server via your home phone line. If deemed necessary, we can respond immediately – thereby avoiding any potentially serious medical problems or complications. We also provide education and training to help you and your family manage your health between our visits.
back to top
Hospice nurses focus their attention on making the end of life as comfortable as possible for patients with terminal illnesses (and their families), while the traditional home care nurse focuses on bringing about an improvement in a patient's condition. The primary goal of a hospice nurse is to provide a calm, supportive, safe environment for each patient in the comfort of his or her home.
A care manager is available 24-hours a day to answer questions, address concerns, and help connect you with your nurse or therapist. If your situation is urgent and requires immediate medical attention, you may be directed to go to the emergency room.
We are here whenever you need us. Our services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
There are many instances where our patients have difficulty managing their activities of daily living and do not have a family member or friend available to help out on a round-the-clock basis. That's when Home and Health Resources can help. We are able to provide personal care and homemaking assistance to patients on a private pay basis. Assistance is available 24 hours per day on a short- or long-term basis.
We respect the privacy and confidentiality of every patient. You will receive a comprehensive list of patient rights to review upon admission for services. You are entitled to exercise these rights at all times, and your family or designee may exercise them for you if you are unable to make decisions about your own care, treatment, or services.
Introducing South Shore MyChart, the new and improved Patient Portal.
No matter what you're facing, receiving exceptional, unified care is non-negotiable. That's why we're bringing people, caregivers and excellence in medicine together. As One.

earlier this week we took a drive to a local christmas tree farm to pick out our tree. we waited until my mom came in for her visit so that she could be there too and I was pretty excited to see logan really take in and appreciate the whole experience. the older he gets the more fun these things have become and it sure made my mama heart happy to see his face light up with anticipation, as he rounded the corner of the old barn to spot the big tractor that would take us up the hill to the trees. he is a true country boy when it comes to these things and takes very much after jason's side of the family. then again, what little boy doesn't enjoy a good ole tractor ride?
we were the only customers that morning and so we got a private ride through the rows and rows of lush, green trees. the day had started with a light covering of snow and freezing cold, crisp air that you want to breathe in deeply and store up for those mucky and humid days of a summer yet to come.
with a breeze strong enough to make it seem several degrees colder than it actually was, we bundled up and still got our bottoms wet sitting on the frozen over benches of that trailer. in the end, it didn't take us long to pick out "the tree". not sure if it was the cold or maybe the tree had disguised it's true beauty right until we came around, because we didn't have to walk far at all (if you know me, you know i can be very particular with these kinds of things).
with her strapped in securely we made our way back to the barn for some hot cocoa and cuddles with mr.bear, who looked like he'd already shared many an embrace with similar, chocolate faced toddlers of the sort.
all in all a successful christmas tree hunt in my book.

Fairmont Hotels & Resorts has a long history of hosting royals from around the world, but the luxury hotel brand has an especially long relationship with the British Monarch, HM Queen Elizabeth II. This year, as the second longest serving British monarch gets ready to celebrate her 60-year reign, The Savoy, a Fairmont Managed Hotel is offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be a part of the grand Diamond Jubilee festivities. Since she was a Princess, Fairmont hotels around the world have hosted Her Majesty as she graced the halls of the brand's storybook castles and fairytale retreats, whether for grand formal functions or secluded getaways far from prying eyes.
The Queen's Diamond Jubilee, which takes place June 2-5, promises to be a historic occasion for London, The Commonwealth, and the rest of the world. The Savoy is perfectly positioned for guests who want to enjoy festivities such as The Queen's carriage procession and the River Pageant, which takes place on Sunday, June 3 with 1,000 boats sailing up the Thames past the hotel. The Diamond Jubilee package starts from £1,230 and includes 2-night's accommodation, breakfast and a special 4-course Jubilee dinner.
Throughout the 20th century, The Savoy has been a popular destination for members of the Royal Family, who frequently attended private dinners or balls without attracting unwelcome attention from the press. The young Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret loved to visit the hotel informally in the evenings for dinner and dancing. The Queen Mother also visited the hotel frequently, and the private side entrance to the building which she used is still known as the "Queen Mother's Entrance". Before becoming Queen, Princess Elizabeth was first seen with new husband Lt. Philip Mountbatten in public at a reception at The Savoy in 1948.
But Fairmont's ties to the Queen's family go back to before Elizabeth was even born. In the l920s the young Prince of Wales, (Queen Elizabeth's uncle, who would later become King Edward,), traveled across Canada and attended many balls in his honor at the luxury hotel company's Canadian hotels. In Victoria, almost 50 years later, the obituaries of elderly ladies would appear under headlines such as, 'Mrs. Thornley-Hall Dies. Prince of Wales Singled Her Out.' In 1939, after King Edward's abdication, King George VI & Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mum, also toured Canada, stopping by The Fairmont Palliser, The Fairmont Banff Springs, The Fairmont Hotel Vancouver and more.
The Fairmont Empress in Victoria, British Columbia has hosted Queen Elizabeth nearly every decade of her reign and has Royal China exclusively used for Royal Visits. The luxurious Outlook Cabin at Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge hosted Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip in 2005, and her parents King George VI & Queen Elizabeth in 1939. The Royal Suite at The Fairmont Royal York plays host to Queen Elizabeth and her family whenever they visit Toronto and Montreal's Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth boasts of hosting three generations of the royal family. Vancouver's Fairmont Waterfront has hosted princes William and Harry while their parents, Prince Charles and Princess Diana, visited Ottawa's Fairmont Chateau Laurier while on a Royal Tour in 1983. Kate Middleton, now styled the Duchess of Cambridge, first caught Prince William's eye during a 2001 fashion show at Scotland's Fairmont St Andrews. Outside The Commonwealth, The Fairmont San Francisco's Penthouse Suite has hosted notable royals such as Prince Charles, while The Plaza in New York was once frequented by the former King Edward and Wallis Simpson - The Duke and Duchess of Windsor.
In Bermuda, The Fairmont Hamilton Princess has longstanding royal connections, having hosted the future King Edward as an honored guest for a ball in the 1920s, and decades later, hosting his nephew Prince Charles for a formal event of his own. The hotel opened its doors on January 1, 1885 after Bermuda had gained international recognition two years earlier when Princess Louise, the fourth daughter of Queen Victoria, visited for a winter retreat. When the hotel opened, it was named ''The Princess'' in honor of her royal visit. Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise's namesake lake, and as a result the hotel, was also named in honor of Princess Louise, who was Vice Regal Consort of Canada when her husband was named Governor General in 1878.

The Number Ten
Lesson 1 of 17
Objective: SWBAT generate equivalent expressions for a number. SWBAT use numbers and standard notation (+,-,&=) to record. SWBAT use a strategy to count and combine groups of dots.
Big Idea: Students will revisit an old routine as they work with larger groups of dots and record the number of dots that were flashed before them. Students will represent a variety of ways to represent the number 10.
Thomas Young
Warm Up
Advanced preparation: You will need to print out both sets of number cards from the resource section. Cut out the 31-60 cards and put them into one envelope and do the same with the 61-90 and put them in their own envelope.
I start this part of the lesson by asking the kids to sit in front of the classroom number line.
"Today we are going to change up our Start At/Stop At routine. We are going to add the numbers 61-90." I will pull one card out of the 31-60 envelope and we will use that as our start at number. I will then pull out a card from our 61-90 envelope and use that as our Stop At number. We will then count as a class from our starting number to our ending number."
I will ask a student to point to each number as we count as a whole group. I will continue this process as time allows. I will also mix in counting backwards by starting at the higher number and counting to the lower number. The Core Standards expect 1st graders to be able to count to 120, starting at any number, by the end of 1st grade. This routine is the process in which I can assure that the students are continuously working toward that standard (CCSS.Math.Content.1.NBT.A.1).

Quick Flashes
Advanced Preparation: You will need blank paper and pencils for the students. You will also need to make a copy of the Quick Flash Cards in this section's resource.
I want to start this unit and lesson by doing several quick flashes that focus on different arrangements of 10 dots. You will begin by flashing one of the image cards for 5 seconds (I use my document camera). Then give students time to draw it. Then flash the image again (for 5 more seconds). Again, allow time for them to check their work and draw it. Then show the image a final time and ask students to describe who they remembered the image.
"Who can tell me how they remembered what to draw, or How did you see the image? What strategies helped you?"
You are looking for how kids visually broke the dots down.
As students come up to the projection and show how they saw it, you should draw a circle around each set they identify and then write an equation to represent their thinking.
"Joe saw it as groups of 2 dots and 3 dots and 5 dots. Who can we write that as an equation to tell how many altogether?"
It is important to model a few examples for each image. You don't want students to think theirs is the only one way to see the set of dots.
This activity really supports MP4 because it promotes proficiency with model with mathematics and apply what they know to simplify a situation (CCSS.Math.Practice.MP4).

Number of the Day: 10
Advanced Preparation: You will need to make enough copies of the Number of the Day: 10 Sheet. I have included the .pdf and notebook version of the sheet. If you have notebook software, you can open the file and change the sheet for future lessons as well.
"We are going to wok with the 'Friendly" number of ten! We call this number friendly because it is easy to count and is a benchmark number. We can use our knowledge of ten to build all kinds of numbers. (I then use the easel as I discuss the following) I can show ten by writing the number, writing the word ten, and/or writing 10 dots."
"What are some ways that we can represent ten?" I record these on the white board easel as well. There is a picture in the section resource (number of the day:10.png) that shows what the students came up with.
I remind students that they can use more than two numbers and that they can also use subtraction but that they should focus on using numbers and equations and not pictures. The Core expects students to apply properties of operations as strategies to add and subtract.2Examples: If 8 + 3 = 11 is known, then 3 + 8 = 11 is also known. (Commutative property of addition.) To add 2 + 6 + 4, the second two numbers can be added to make a ten, so 2 + 6 + 4 = 2 + 10 = 12. (Associative property of addition.)(CCSS.Math.Content.1.OA.B.3) It also expects first graders to add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10. Use strategies such as counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14); decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13 – 4 = 13 – 3 – 1 = 10 – 1 = 9); using the relationship between addition and subtraction (e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows 12 – 8 = 4); and creating equivalent but easier or known sums (e.g., adding 6 + 7 by creating the known equivalent 6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13)(CCSS.Math.Content.1.OA.C.6).
"Now I want you to take your own ten sheet and find as many ways as you can to make 10. I will come around and ask you to explain how you are coming up with different ways."
There are several resources included. Here is an explanation of each one for your convenience:
- Number of the Day 10.notebook: This is the notebook file that can be edited and used for future lessons.
- Number of the Day 10.pdf: This is the pdf file of the same resource.
- Representing 10 with a Strategy.m4v: This video demonstrates a student explaining the strategy that was used in finding combinations. He clearly points out how he is changing each addend by one.
- Student Using A Systematic Strategy For 10.png: This is a copy of the recording sheet of a student who clearly used a strategic approach to finding combinations.
- Number of the Day 20.notebook: This is for differentiation and explained in the Reflection part of this section.
- Number of the Day 20.pdf: Same as above but pdf. file instead f the notebook file.
- Student Work Representing 10.m4v: Another student explaining how they used a strategy to find combinations.
While students are working, you should circulate and observe how students are coming up with combinations to make 10 and how are they recording their work?

Lesson Wrap Up
The purpose of this discussion is to generate equivalent expressions for the number ten (as a class). Students are using standard notation (=, -, & =).
I call the class to the carpet and have them face the easel.
"I want you to share ways that you found to make 10." I start by asking the student who used a strategy to find two addend equations to make 10. I then call in someone who used subtraction and finally some own who used three or more addends. There is a photo in the section resource of our completed chart.
During this unit, more and more students will start to use a strategy or method for finding combinations of a number. It is important to model this whenever the opportunity arrises.
I also used cubes to reinforce the visual model of equations with three addends. There is a photo in the section resource of this model.
The Core Standards expect students to communicate precisely to others. They try to use clear definitions in discussion with others and in their own reasoning (CCSS.Math.Practice.MP6). In this case, the students are sharing strategies that they used. They are modeling how they recorded their equations and explaining their thinking. As the teacher I can make connections to each strategy. For example, if someone say 8+2=10. I can show how that can easily become 8+1+1=10.

Continued Practice
I continue to reinforce the complements of 10 by having student use ten sticks. There is a video that demonstrates who this activity works.

One door to better prices might be to open up U.S. borders and let more people in, says Bruce Scherr, president and chief executive officer of Sparks Companies in Memphis.
The more people-more demand-higher price connection could be a long-term solution to ailing ag markets, according to Scherr. I don't know if a change in our immigration policy is a practical solution. But the markets sure need something.
"Fifteen years ago, a World Trade Center event would have driven the oil, grain and livestock markets wild," Scherr said. "But here we sit with agricultural markets sitting on a flat line."
In addition, "the U.S. economy has been on its keister and any recovery will be anemic at best. We have the lowest short-term interest rates in modern times. Yet our ag markets seem immune to these kinds of influences."
According to Scherr, one reason for the lack of volatility "is unseen pricing taking place off organized exchanges. We don't always see the volatility."
In addition, world trade markets have become more stable in recent years, noted Scherr. "In grain and soybeans, 10 to 15 years ago, we had a marketplace in the former Soviet Union that could take anywhere from 5 million to 10 million tons of grain and oilseed from us in a given quarter. So we had a volatile buyer out there that represented 20 million to 40 million tons of grain and oilseeds in any given year.
"Today, our biggest volatile consumer is China, which takes 5 million to 10 million metric tons annually. So we've traded off a large source of volatility for a smaller source of volatility."
Cutting back on production in the United States is not a solution to the price problem, according to Scherr. "We don't want to lose production to anyone else. And U.S. farmers can grow more per acre on than ever before. We are producing record levels of grain, cotton and oilseeds in this country. And we use it all up every year."
But U.S. growers can't continue to sell their products at unprofitable prices. "What we need are demand surges," Scherr said. "But demand surges don't come out of the blue. Demand evolves. It doesn't change overnight."
Scherr says demand surges typically come from a supply accident somewhere around the world. But these events don't happen with regularity, especially recently. Many producers recall 1996, when China didn't produce enough corn to export, "and all of a sudden we made up 10 million to 13 million tons of corn that China used to give to Asia," Scherr said.
One solution is to add more people to the U.S. economy, and thereby pump up our domestic use. "Our society is made up of about 275 million people and 95 million households. Over the next 10 years, we will grow to about 300 million people and 100 million households. That's anemic growth, not enough to sustain the growth of our economy, whether it's our agricultural economy or anything else.
"If you don't have population growth and you can't export your products, you become stagnant with nowhere to go, like Japan."
Scherr suggests that the United States develop an immigration policy to "strategically fill this country with highly productive, highly creative people that will earn money and spend money and be the foundation for agriculture."
Scherr's solution, which he spoke about during the Mid-South Farm and Gin Show recently, makes sense, but here's another idea offered by an audience member in attendance — reduce the tax burden on young people in the United States to encourage them to have bigger families. Scherr agreed it was a good idea. And it certainly would be a lot more fun.

storage market.
While the term "big data" has been expanded to mean many things to many people, Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) defines it as "data sets that exceed the boundaries and sizes of normal processing capabilities, forcing you to take a non-traditional approach."
It's clear that application and processor advancements are creating demands on data storage infrastructures that exceed normal processing capabilities. ESG recently conducted some research into big data processing trends to see just how far storage boundaries are being pushed and we came back with some pretty interesting findings.
Data analytics takes on new importance
First off, big data analytics is becoming increasingly important for both IT and the business side. In a 2011 survey, we asked large midmarket (500 to 999 employees) and enterprise (1,000 employees and up) IT decision makers familiar with their organization's current database environment about the importance of big data analytics -- 6% said it was their most important IT priority and 45% said it was among their top five. In 2012, when we asked the same question (albeit a slightly different demographic that covered more of the midmarket and went to firms with as few as 100 employees), we saw the number of firms that will consider enhancing data analytics to be their top IT priority triple to 18% while 45% had it in their top five.
We added a spin to our survey in 2012 by asking about the importance of enhancing big data processing and analytics exercises relative to all business priorities. That moved the needle quite a bit, with 28% rating it as a top business priority relative to all business priorities and 38% putting it in their top five.
Next, the data is big. Our 2011 research found more than 50% of respondents processed at least 500 GB of data, on average, as part of a typical data analytics exercise. In 2012, we found the largest data set on which organizations conduct data analytics is, on average, 10 TB.
Processing and analytics is also becoming a more real-time exercise. In 2011, we asked about the frequency of updates in general, and discovered that 15% of those surveyed update in real-time and 38% within a day. We wanted to see the biggest of big data challenges in 2012, so we asked users how often they updated their largest data set -- 22% said they update in real-time while 45% update in near real-time (within a day).
Finally, there's very little tolerance for downtime. In our 2012 research, 53% could only tolerate fewer than three hours of downtime before their organization would experience significant revenue loss or another adverse business impact. Of that group, 6% can't tolerate any downtime. Only 14% of respondents indicated they could withstand downtime exceeding 24 hours.
Storage implications
While this is just a sampling of the data ESG has gathered on processing and analytics big data trends, I called out these points specifically because they have a ripple effect when it comes to data storage infrastructures. The size of the data sets is big, and growing, especially when you start counting the copies of data sets required for additional analysis and data protection. So, IT will be looking for scalable storage systems that can efficiently meet demands without requiring an army to manage them. At the same time, big data analytics -- and information delivered in near real-time -- is becoming a bigger priority for business sponsors, and IT is paying attention to the underlying infrastructures.
Indeed, ESG research indicates that a large number of IT infrastructure decision makers with knowledge of their data processing and analytics requirements will pay a premium for a storage system with high availability. Even though research indicates that there's price sensitivity for these environments, more users are willing to pay a premium for high availability than for tiered storage, solid-state or efficiency technologies like data reduction and thin provisioning.
Looking at storage in a vacuum is never a good idea. In today's new world of big data, it's important to understand the forward-looking trends that shape tomorrow's infrastructure requirements, lest the infrastructure become obsolete before its time.

Penn Claims Inaugural Ivy Tourney Title
May 2, 2010
Courtesy of Penn
PHILADELPHIA - With an Ivy League Tournament championship - and the Ivy League's automatic bid to the NCAA Championships in the balance - No. 6 Penn found itself in an unexpected dogfight with No. 11 Dartmouth late in the game. Not unexpected because of the caliber of Dartmouth's team, but unexpected because Penn at one point held a 7-2 lead early in the second half.
However, the Big Green stormed back to tie the game at 7-7 with 17:57 to play and Penn needed someone to step up.
After Erin Brennan picked up the ensuing draw control, she drew a foul on Dartmouth's Sarah Plumb. Facing a tough angle, Brennan chose to wave off the shot and make a pass once play resumed. That pass found a wide-open Megan Smith at the side of the cage and the senior immediately put the ball behind Dartmouth's Julie Wadland to give Penn back the lead.
Just 29 seconds after the goal Giulia Giordano was tagged with a yellow card, sending her off the field for three minutes. Penn hunkered down on defense and halfway through the penalty Emma Spiro caused a turnover, picked up the ground ball and raced out of danger. The Quakers had a chance to extend their lead on a Courtney Lubbe free position attempt with 12:12 remaining, but her shot hit all post. A minute later, freshman Maddie Poplawski drew a free position of her own and buried the shot to give Penn a two-goal lead.
The Quakers needed that goal as Dartmouth bounced back one more time. With less than six minutes to play, Kristen Goldberg picked up a ground ball off a Penn turnover and rushed down the field, drawing a free position when she reach the eight-meter area. She attempt was good, closing the gap to one with 5:16 to play.
The Big Green won the draw and had a chance to tie, but Kat Collins was called for a yellow card on the follow-thru of her shot, turning the ball over to the Quakers. From there, Penn held the ball for the final 4:29 to win the first-ever Ivy League Women's Lacrosse Tournament.
""It was a great experience and a great atmosphere," head coach Karin Brower Corbett said. "I think it's a great preparation for the NCAA Tournament. Especially to play in that Friday-Sunday format-if we're lucky enough to get to the Final Four it will definitely help us."
The five-goal run by Dartmouth in the second half erased great work by Penn in the first half. Penn outshot Dartmouth, 15-2 in the first half, with Wadland doing everything she could to keep the Big Green close with seven saves in the opening frame. Emma Spiro had two goals in the first half (three total) and was named Most Outstanding Player of the tournament. The Quakers were able to work individual one-on-one plays for most of their goals in the first half, scoring four times unassisted. Giordano's was perhaps the best effort, as she took the ball from the left side towards the center, only to be met by a wall of Big Green defenders. Rather than pass, she collected herself and retried the move, whirling back towards goal and firing past Wadland.
Penn's third goal was a crazy series which started with Wadland committing a foul on Courtney Lubbe near midfield. Once Wadland reset behind Lubbe, the senior attack went towards an open goal. Lubbe's shot, however was blocked by Hope McIntyre on a lunging stop as it was in the air. Meredith Cain picked up the ball for Penn and had it stripped quickly, but the ball found its way to Brennan who immediately deposited in the cage for a 3-1 lead.
The Red and Blue opened the second half with a pair of one-timers from Spiro and Poplawski to extend the lead to 7-2 and appear to seize control of the game. However, at that moment the draw control arrow flipped over to Dartmouth as the Big Green won four out of five draws to tie the game.
Sarah Plumb started things for Dartmouth eight seconds after Poplawski scored. She won the draw control on the fly and went in untouched on Emily Szelest for the goal. 1:16 later Dana Brisbane scored and a minute after that Kat Collins scored on a free position. Sarah Parks added her first of the game with just over 20 minutes to play and Collins scored her third of the game with 17:57 to play to tie the contest. An evening Penn soon washed out with Smith's second of the game.
"We pride ourselves on not panicking," DeLuca said after the game. "One thing I think that we do so well, when Dartmouth did start to come back, we were very composed. We knew that we couldn't panic at that time. Even when Dartmouth was firing away, we knew we couldn't get down on ourselves and just had to keep playing."
Spiro credited her coach for instilling that calmness on the team.
"It is amazing," she said. "Even in games when we're losing, during timeouts Karen comes in and shows that it's okay-we just need to get the next draw or the next goal. We've been taught well that its one goal at a time and we just have to believe in ourselves."
Spiro finished with three goals, four draw controls and two caused turnovers in the win. Her four goals, six draw controls, four ground balls and two caused turnovers made her the inaugural Ivy League Tournament Most Outstanding Player. She was joined on the All-Tournament Team by Erin Brennan, Ali DeLuca, Giulia Giordano and Barb Seaman. For the tournament, DeLuca had ten points (4G-6A) while Brennan had five goals and an assist. Seaman finished with six ground balls, two draw controls and two caused turnovers. Giordano had a goal and three assists.
The Quakers will now await their seeding and first-round opponent for the 2010 NCAA Championships. Selections will be announced May. 9. This marks the fourth-consecutive year Penn has won the Ancient Eight's automatic bid to the NCAA Championships.

The staff keeps a close eye on the surrounding rural area, as Oak Hills is right outside of town, and on the lake, to let the students know when it is safe to walk on the ice, go ice skating, or ice fishing. The security also does a great job.
Clubs and Activities
Because of it's small size, Oak Hills only offers two sports, basketball for men, and volleyball for women, with the possibility of more in the future. Do you like to sing or play an instrument? Join the worship team! Do you like to play sports for fun? Oak Hills has intramural flag football and floor hockey. There are also random games of soccer, ultimate frisbee, and many other sports. There is a Student Leadership team you can join, and Bible studies you can attend, or even start your own!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
The beautiful campus is a great place for taking walks. The lake is also a fun place to swim or canoe. One unusual tradition we have is when a couple gets engaged, the man must be laked, meaning he gets thrown in the lake!
Bang for the buck
I have grown and learned so much since I began attending Oak Hills. I have made so many great friends. If you are concerned about the tuition, it is one of the cheapest private schools in Minnesota. I was able to get a lot of financial aid.
What to do for fun
The campus is so small there is not always a lot going on, but the student center is an awesome place to hang out, with couches, a TV, a pool table and foosball table. It is a really good experience for students to learn leadership as you are very much encouraged to plan activities yourself. The Student Life Team does a good job of planning intramural sports, random game nights, and different activities, such as dorm get-togethers with treats and games, etc.
Food and Dining
I enjoy the food and the staff team is great. There is room for improvement, but for being such a small school, I think they do a good job of serving. And they have a large variety of food.
Dorm Life
The campus and dorms are small enough where you can easily make friends and get to know just about everyone. There is room for improvements, as apparently the dorm buildings are older and the electrical wiring, etc. cannot handle too much. Small electrical appliances are not allowed, such as a mini fridges and microwaves.
Academic Rigor
I believe that the lower level classes may not be challenging as compared to the average university, but they do get more challenging. I've heard complaints about not feeling challenged, but it is hard to cater to every student. Oak Hills does a good job of staying at a happy medium.
Tips for prospective students
Definitely come visit the campus and see if you can sit in on a class and check out the dorms. Remember that it is a very small campus and an older school, but know that this way, you are very integrated into the community, becoming part of the family.
In three sentences
Oak Hills has a really great community feel and it is great because you basically get to know every single person on campus. The faculty are amazing and so kind and the campus is beautiful. The size can be a downside because some see it as being too small and the school could make some improvements/advancements, as in going more technological and making dorm life better.

Classes are challenging but do not seem to be super difficult as long as you take the time to do your homework you will do fine.
In three sentences
If you are looking for a small close knit community that focuses on Biblical teaching Oak Hills is the place for you. Oak Hills is a small campus but super friendly.

Just look at the crime report! (There's hardly anything TO report...) Plus, since everyone knows everyone, intruders are easily idenitfied, and if you got into trouble someone would come to your aid pretty quickly. It's also well-lit at night and if someone did try to pull something you'd see it coming miles away!
Food and Dining
One thing I really appreciated is that there is a suggestion box, AND someone on the other end who actually reads those suggestions and usually acts on them.
Dorm Life
Very welcoming atmosphere! The facilities have something to be desired, but that should change in the next couple of years, as they are planning to build a new dorm building.
Academic Rigor
I'm told that it's pretty easy to just brush by with C's, thus the lower rating. However, if like me you are here to really LEARN, the professors are very welcoming and will go out of their way to help you do so. In rigor potential, I would give it five stars for those who are motivated. (However, I've been told that the Psych program is very rigorous. I only took one class from the Psych professor, but I still heartily agree!)
Tips for prospective students
If you want to go into ministry this is the college for you! But science or math... Well, they have one class for each topic. (Unless the science you're looking for is Psych - they have an entire program in Psych and the professor is really good.)
In three sentences
It's a great college, with great professors, and a great heart for ministry! The community is very welcoming and it was a delight to attend there last semester.

September 12, 1930 ~ January 9, 2018
Our beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather, Patriarch and friend, returned home to his loving Heavenly Father and family on Tuesday, January 9, 2018.
Delbert Earl Rhees was born on September 12, 1930, in Ogden, Utah, to Earl John Rhees and Ruth Cragun Rhees.
He grew up on a dairy farm in Pleasant View, Utah, where he learned the value of hard work and to truly love the outdoors. He loved to travel and was inspired by God's wonderful creations. He especially loved the mountains and the red rock hills of Southern Utah. Bert loved his country and was proud to serve in the United States Navy as a Submariner and in the Navy Reserve. He was also proud to serve his Heavenly Father as an LDS Missionary in Brazil.
Bert met his sweetheart, Ovie Hutchison, and in his words "convinced her to marry him." They were sealed to each other on November 14, 1955, in the Logan Utah Temple.
He was a sweet and loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He and Ovie spent 41 wonderful years together, raising their four amazing children and enjoying their grandchildren until her death from illness in 1996. Bert met Marilyn Friedli while working in the Ogden Utah Temple and they were married on July 20, 1996. He spent 21 beautiful years loving her and her family. They enjoyed traveling and making many special memories including their experiences as LDS Missionaries in the Wyoming Sixth Crossing Handcart Visitor Center Mission.
Bert faithfully served in many callings and capacities in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He especially loved serving as a Stake Patriarch and felt honored to give many Patriarchal Blessings. One of his greatest honors was providing blessings to many of his grandchildren. His commitment and faith in our Heavenly Father and the gospel inspired all who came in contact with him. He will be greatly missed by all.
He is survived by his wife, Marilyn Rhees; Children: Jeffrey (Nicole) Rhees, Timothy (Sarah) Rhees, Todd (Stephanie) Rhees, and Julie (Lance) Jackson; step-children: Steve (Vicki) Friedli, Dorothy (Kay) Nielsen, Doug (Vicki) Friedli, Jolynne (Bruce) Barnes, and Julie Wecker (Ben) Harding; siblings: Robert Rhees, John Rhees, Marian Findlay, Sally Shaw, Carol Rhees and Linda Rhees; 48 grandchildren; and 47 great-grandchildren.

QRxPharma Limited Announces A$14 Million Placement Together With a Share Purchase Plan
On track for registration of MoxDuo® IR pain drug in US and Europe in anticipation of launch in 2012
Oct 01, 2010, 09:41 ET

The issue price under the Placement is A$0.85 per share, a 15% discount to the last closing price of QRxPharma shares on 28 September 2010 of A$1.00.
The Company was pleased to accept some of the oversubscriptions from investors and increase the size of the placement from A$10 million to A$14 million.
RBS Morgans Corporate Limited was Lead Manager to the Capital Raising.
QRxPharma intends to use the proceeds from this capital raising to fund a Phase 3 labeling claim study that will enable the company to make marketing and advertising claims in Europe and the U.S. for MoxDuo IR, an immediate release Dual-Opioid® pain therapy. The funds will also be used to support the company as it files its New Drug Application (NDA) with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and advances its Marketing Authorisation Application (MAA) in Europe in CY2011.
The additional funds raised by increasing the size of the placement will enable the company to further progress the development programs of MoxDuo CR (controlled release) and MoxDuo IV (intravenous).
The Placement shares will be allotted in two tranches with Tranche 1, comprising approximately 3.8 million shares, to be allotted on Thursday 7 October 2010. The allotment of Tranche 2, comprising approximately 12.6 million shares, is subject to shareholder approval at the company's AGM to be held on Monday 8 November 2010. These shares are expected to be allotted on Tuesday 9 November 2010.
The Company will also implement a Share Purchase Plan (SPP) to allow its retail shareholders to participate in the capital raising for up to A$15,000 per shareholder at A$0.85 per share. The Record Date for participation in the SPP is Thursday 30 September 2010. The details of the SPP will be sent to shareholders in due course.
QRxPharma CEO and Managing Director, Dr John Holaday commented, "We are encouraged by the strong level of support we received for this offering as we progress towards the commercialization of our Dual Opioid portfolio of products. QRxPharma is pleased to be one of the few Australian companies with a drug in the final stages of clinical development."
"MoxDuo has the potential to revolutionize the management of pain from the hospital to the home. We have administered MoxDuo IR to well over 500 patients with moderate to severe pain following bunionectomy or total knee replacement surgery, and data indicate excellent pain relief with a 50-75% reduction in moderate to severe side effects. Results from our Phase 3 studies set the stage for NDA filing with the FDA, and once approved, we anticipate the launch of MoxDuo IR into the US$12 billion marketplace in the US and Europe in 2012," he added.
Further details regarding the timetable for the Placement and Share Purchase Plan are included in the Annexure to this announcement.
