Canada Post 'superbox' battle brews in Kanata neighbourhood
The conversion from door-to-door mail delivery is not going smoothly in one Kanata neighbourhood where some residents say Canada Post is ignoring their suggestions about the placement of the street's new community mailbox.
David Downing is upset that a new postal "superbox" for about 60 homes is going in directly across from his house on Bernier Terrace, off Kakulu Road near Castlefrank Road. Not only will the box be unsightly, Downing says, but the area is poorly lit and piled high with snow during the winter.
He and other neighbours have proposed other locations, proposals Downing said have been ignored.
"Canada Post has decided they're going to put a super mailbox in a location on our streets where the residents don't want it," Downing said. "There are alternatives offered to them, and, for whatever reasons, they're not moving."
Kanata is the first area in Ottawa to transition from door-to-door delivery to community mailboxes. By the end of the year, some 100,000 Canada Post customers will have made the switch. Another million homes will convert in early 2015 with the target of converting all five million home-delivery addresses by 2019.
Downing and some of his neighbours asked that Canada Post move the boxes to Kakulu Drive, where another superbox is already situated. If that isn't possible, it could be put next to a pedestrian walkway that links Bernier to Castlefrank. The walkway is cleared and salted all winter, he said.
"What's frustrating is when you try to engage Canada Post by email or phone and they don't respond," Downing said. "This isn't just us. You're going to be seeing complaints like this coming from neighbourhood after neighbourhood after neighbourhood."
Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley said he supports Downing's proposal.
"I know David to be a very reasonable person," Hubley said. "I thought his solutions were reasonable. If it were mine to decide, I'd want to consider them, but it's not my decision. They (Canada Post) have their rationale and I don't have any leverage to force them."
The only input the city has, Hubley said, would be if the placement interfered with buried utilities or if the city had plans for the spot, such as a bus stop.
Hubley said 6,000 homes in his ward — one-third of the total — are being switched to community mailboxes this fall. So far, he's heard three complaints about the placement of the community mailboxes.
"When it was first announced, I heard a lot people who said, 'Let's save the door-to-door delivery.' But when it comes down to identifying the spots (for community mailboxes), well everyone's happy except for the people who have it on their front lawn."
But Hubley also said Canada Post has done a "good job" of placing the boxes in spots that won't inconvenience people.
"Canada Post has actually been very reasonable … but in this situation they seem to have locked in."
Canada Post, meanwhile, said it has made every effort to accommodate residents' concerns. Surveys were sent out last winter to see if residents wanted a box they could walk to or a larger multi-box spot further away. After the Bernier Terrace spot was chosen, workers went and knocked on doors to get feedback.
"We've made it our policy that every time someone makes a suggestion that we investigate it," said Canada Post spokeswoman Anik Losier. "In Kanata, we've actually moved about a dozen sites based on the residents' feedback."
All the suggestions made by Downing and his neighbours were considered, she said.
"There were two suggestions made to us and they really weren't viable to serve all 62 locations these mailboxes will be serving."
The site by the walkway was too small and the site on Kakulu Road was too far away from some of the homes it would serve.
"At some point, we have to put the boxes somewhere," Losier said. "At this point, unless we get a better suggestion, we need to get the work done in order to get started on delivering to these boxes in the fall."

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Justin Rose began Sunday's final round two strokes closer to the lead than he had originally thought after the PGA Tour reversed a two-stroke penalty it had assessed Saturday. The reversal came thanks to a new rule that was implemented to protect players from violations that can be seen only through high-definition devices and sophisticated technology.
Rose was assessed the penalty on Saturday after his ball moved on the 18th hole after he had addressed it. After three separate reviews of the incident using high-definition cameras and highly magnified images, officials ruled it was a violation of Rule 18-2b and he was assessed a two-stroke penalty, one shot for the ball moving at address and one for not replacing it after it had moved.
But an adjustment to the Decisions of Golf (Decision 18-4) was implemented last year so that "The ball will not be deemed to have moved if that movement was not reasonably discernible to the naked eye at the time."
Full-field scores from The Players Championship
The Players Championship: Articles, videos and photos
Late Saturday, PGA Tour vice president of rules and competitions Mark Russell told GolfChannel.com that the new rule didn't apply to Rose's situation because "It's not as though he didn't see anything and then it came up because of high-definition television. He saw something and backed off; that's why the high-definition rule didn't apply."
But after further review, officials rescinded the penalty based on the new decision.
"This has never been used before," Russell said Sunday. "It's a situation where it protects the player. We asked for this decision and this is exactly why this rule is in there."
Russell said the issue was readdressed on Sunday morning when the rules committee arrived at TPC Sawgrass at about 7:30 a.m.
After a 45-minute discussion, officials asked the governing bodies – the Royal & Ancient and U.S. Golf Association – for advice at 10 a.m. and an hour later the committee decided to rescind the ruling.
"It's pretty complicated, really," said Russell, who confirmed to GolfChannel.com that both organizations agreed with the implementation of the new decision. "This isn't going to happen every day."
Rose was informed at 11:40 a.m. (ET) Sunday, about an hour before his final-round tee time, that the penalty had been withdraw under the new rule.
"Overnight I read an article that explained the (high-definition) rule and I kind of thought it applied to my case," Rose said following a final-round 69 for a 10-under total. "I didn't see how my case was any different than what I read."
Rose was given a par on the 18th hole, instead of a double-bogey-6, and moved into a tie for eighth, five strokes off the lead, although his final-round tee time remained the same despite the change to his score.

Home / Foundation / Americas / Stoked to Serve
New York, NEW YORK (JULY 26, 2011) – Stoked has launched Stoked to Serve: Summer 2011 sponsored by the Quiksilver Foundation. This summer, Stoked and the Quiksilver Foundation are mobilizing youth from all five boroughs of New York City to engage in community service projects, helping to clean up and rehabilitate New York City parks and waterfronts. Stoked to Serve connects youth to their communities through service projects that improve the urban environment, such as cleaning parks and beaches or restoring community gardens. The citywide initiative offers incentives when service projects are completed, and is open to all youth who wish to participate.
As sponsor of Stoked to Serve: Summer 2011, the Quiksilver Foundation is supporting the expansion of the program to all five boroughs of New York City. Additionally, the Quiksilver Foundation is incentivizing youth in the program with unique experiences around the Quiksilver Pro New York, the first-ever ASP World Championship Tour stop on the East Coast of the United States from September1-15, 2011.
"Stoked to Serve teaches youth the importance of taking care of the resources that are provided to them by their communities," said Founder & President Steve Larosiliere. "Action sports are all about community. The Quiksilver Pro offers the unique opportunity for us to reinforce this aspect of action sports to youth in New York City."
Stoked is hosting ten Stoked to Serve days throughout July and August leading up to the Quicksilver Pro in September. In partnerships with eleven local community partners, Stoked will engage at least 50 youth from each borough in Stoked to Serve. Youth who volunteer at two Stoked to Serve days will be rewarded with a trip to the Quiksilver Pro New York hosted by Stoked. At each service day, there will be product giveaways for youth. By the end of the summer, Stoked intends to engage 250 youth in 500 hours community service.
"The Quiksilver Foundation could not be more excited to be a part of Stoked to Serve: Summer 2011," commented Ryan Ashton, Director of the Quiksilver Foundation. "The program truly exemplifies what we are all about and provides Quiksilver with an opportunity to give back to the New York community leading up to the Quiksilver Pro in September."
Stoked uses its knowledge of action sports and skill-building activities to provide under-served youth a new outlook on life and an opportunity to take part in the growing realm of action sports. From coast to coast, Stoked programs benefit high school youth by providing them with knowledge, experience, determination, and opportunity that might otherwise not be available to them. You can stay up to date on Stoked to Serve clean-ups and events at www.stoked.org/stokedtoserve or by following Stoked on Facebook (facebook.com/stokedmentoring) and Twitter (twitter.com/wearestoked).
About Stoked
Stoked, a non-profit organization was founded on the belief that the courage and perseverance needed to learn action sports would be an ideal way to teach those life skills to youth from disadvantaged urban communities. Stoked's mission is to empower youth from under-served communities to achieve a more successful future by providing programs based in action sports culture that result in personal development, academic achievement, positive relationships, and a healthy lifestyle. Stoked receives its funding from individuals, corporations, foundations. and special events annually. Founded in 2005 by Steve Larosiliere and Sal Masekela, the 501c3 organization operates in both New York and Los Angeles.

Welcome to Dragon Cave! Dragon Cave is an online adoptables game. Collect eggs, raise them to adulthood, and then breed them to create interesting lineages. New types of dragons are added regularly!
Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. It seems allergic to something, and every time it sneezes sparks shoot from its nose and mouth.
And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing. Small bolts of electricity occasionally fly off of it, zapping nearby objects.
Young dragons are relatively defenseless. They are born with relatively soft scales, which are shed and replaced with harder ones as the hatchling matures. Once a hatchling's wings grow in, it marks the beginning of maturation. At this point they are often capable of hunting on their own and are usually left alone by their mother.

I stumbled across a new photography blog thanks to Pinterest last week. I've been feeling very bored and quite frankly bad at photography lately and really needed something to get the creative juices flowing again, challenge my photography skills and teach me to use my camera better. Each Sunday, at the blog Ashley Sisk, she posts five items to photograph each week and a link up from the previous weeks challenge. So here goes my first week.
If a picture is bad or mediocre....make it black and white, thus the two black and whites this week.

"Mom, is she a girl or an adult?"
Out of the corner of my eye I could see a 5-year-old girl at a nearby table looking at me inquisitively and pointing, as her mom turned red.
"Excellent question, little girl." I thought. I wondered how her mom would have answered if I hadn't been within earshot. Instead, she just retorted with a quick, "Eat your dinner." before returning to her conversation.
Of course, I began wonder how I would answer that question myself. I still feel weird calling myself a woman, but yesterday I realized that I'll be 27 next month. Based on everything ever, I'm a bonafide adult. If you asked a teenager whether or not they considered 27 "old"...they'd likely say yes.
I always thought that when I became an adult I'd have this moment of clarity and feel differently. But lately I've begun to realize that no matter how old you get, you pretty much have no idea what you're doing.
Despite the fact that I still feel like I'm that 5-year-old girl curiously staring at someone else in a restaurant, embarrassing my parents, there have been moments when I realized what it meant to be "grown-up".
This year, especially. Between quitting my job, moving across the country on my own, and starting a new job in a field where I'm fairly inexperienced, I've seen my grown-up side rear it's little head more than a few times; teaching me more lessons than I can count.
And despite the fact that I don't ever think I'll feel like a grown-up, I do think I'm becoming better at life. And maybe that's really what it's about.
If I had to define it, I'd say that grown-ups have just made more mistakes than people who are younger than them. Sometimes the only way to truly learn something is by doing things wrong the first time. You've got to see for yourself, right?
Everyone in the world could tell me dating someone who cheated on his previous girlfriend with me was a bad idea. But I'm not going to listen until I experience the life changing heartbreak when he inevitably cheats on me.
Most of my life has been spent trying to get things done as quickly as possible. Maybe it's just me, but my thought was never, "How can I do this in the best way?" It was always, "How can I do this in the fastest way?"
That applied to everything. Eating, learning, work, no matter what it was; my objective was always to finish as soon as I could.
I don't know when the shift happened but I find myself trying to do things better now. Maybe I just have more time on my hands, maybe my priorities have changed, or maybe I'm just realizing that doing things quickly doesn't usually work.
Instead, I'm trying to do things efficiently and better. I read more than I should about how to improve my life and am constantly looking for ways to refine things. If someone had told me 5 years ago that something I was doing was inefficient or ineffective, I probably would have told them to leave me alone. Now, I embrace it.
I don't think I'll ever stop being terrified that I'm messing everything up or making the wrong decision. However, if there's one thing I've learned it's that the more scared I am, typically...the better it will be.
Adolescent me would never apply to a job that I wasn't confident I could do. Now, I embrace the challenge. And yeah...I'm totally afraid of failing, but I know that if I do, it won't be a waste at all.
I'll have learned so many valuable things by taking risks. And if I have to fail to do that, then so be it. It goes back to making mistakes, I guess. I've finally realized that what it really takes to figure out life is messing everything up and doing it better the next time around.
With 2015 ahead of me, I plan to make new mistakes and not repeat the old ones. I'll find ways to continue to improve my life and I'll be terrified that I'm doing it wrong. I'll feel like a child, even when I have to tell people I'm 27 when asked my age.
I hope, as I can with 2014, that I'll look back on next year and be astonished at what that time brought out of me. I'll remember being terrified while still taking risks and realize that I learned more along the way than I ever had expected.
And to me, I guess that's what being a grown-up really is.

Our family of two couples, one teen, and
canine companions met at this rental for
a wonderful weekend in July 2011. The
house is very nice ~ we just loved the
open floor plan and the staircase
leading to the 2nd floor ~ with lots of
room for different activities. Thanks to
the owners for answering all of our
questions in advance in such detail
(places to hike, waterfall locations,
etc.) and for their policies to a)
include cleaning fees in the nightly
rate, b) not charge additional pet fees,
c) make check-out so relatively task-
free. (And thanks to those who stay and
care for the property such that the
owners can continue these practices.)
Adlerhorst was clean, comfortable, and
in a great location for our family.
We all had a fabulous time. Close to everything we wanted to do. We hope to come back again in the near future. Very clean and spacious!!!
Love the house. It is really spacious. Kids love the toys that they had there to play and the movies to watch. Love the kitchen it has everything you need to use to cook and more. The view is amazing. Only down sided on the property is that there is not much to do outsides for the kids. There is not much outdoor space for them to run around and play ball. The ouside activity we did was walk on the road. We had a great time in the house. My only recommendation to the owner will be to give specific address to the dumpster bc you have to take your trash with you and we couldnt find it. We had to drive around with our trash in the back of the car until we stop by and someone told us to go to the one by Boone. But other then that it wad awesome.
We had a amazing time at this beautiful two story cabin. There was plenty of room for all of us and great place for the kids to play outside. Not to far from Boone and Banner Elk Cafe' you should go there for the sweets if nothing else. Thank you so much for letting us stay at your vacation home. I would recommend it to others.
Owners were friendly and overall great to work with. Cabin was great too; the pictures don't do it justice. Nice size, and wide open floor plan. Very good experience! Definitely need 4 wheel drive in the winter time.
This house was perfect for our long weekend getaway. The view was gorgeous and house was very impressive. We found the house very spacious and relaxing. Breakfast on the deck overlooking the multi-colored rolling mountains was probably the highlight of the weekend. We also enjoyed the fact that downtown Boone was not that far away and we could run out to pick up items if needed. I would definitely recommend this house to others and plan to go back when I can spend an entire week.
We spent the Martin Luther King Jr. Weekend staying at the Adlerhorst and had a wonderful time! It was more than enough room for 2 families (toys and games for the little ones too!) and had everything we could want or need! Perfect location to go skiing, shopping and visiting the Ashe County Cheese factory. Would definitely recommend the house to anyone wanting a beautiful and comfortable place to stay and personally hope to be able to make a trip back this summer!
Access to fishing ponds during the day, zipline, Trash Can Falls, hiking.

text: Dissertation Project OverviewCourse detailsLearning and teaching Credit value: 50 Semester: 2 Status: Compulsory Contact hours: approximately 12 Module co-ordinator: Dr June Jones Module Description: This module affords the opportunity for you to produce a substantial piece of assessed work on a subject of your own choice (guided by your supervisor). The main requirement is that you write about some overtly ethical and/or legal aspect of health care. You will be encouraged to use the research skills that you have acquired during each of the taught modules. Ethical and legal research has traditionally been undertaken using conceptual analysis. Increasingly, qualitative research methodologies are being used in in combination with traditional methods in biomedical ethics research. The programme seeks to provide you with an opportunity to be trained and utilise this new range of methodologies as they apply to biomedical ethics and law so that you are able to chose the best research method for your topic of interest. You may therefore undertake a piece of empirical bioethics research for their dissertation. All students will, however, have to demonstrate the ability to present robust philosophical arguments in their dissertations. Students will be required to submit a research protocol, outlining their research topic and set of questions, which will be assessed as part of the Research Methods in Bioethics module. Course details Entry requirements International students: Depending on your chosen course of study, you may also be interested in one of our foundation pathways, which offer specially structured programmes for international students whose qualifications are not accepted for direct entry to UK universities.

Question about Whirlpool GD2SHGX Refrigerator
Posted by scuba66 on
There are several different reasons that an Ice Maker will stop working. One is that the water valve has gone bad. It is a 120 volt valve that is at the back and bottom of the refrigerator, it is very simple to replace but you need to make sure that is the problem before you replace it. Another thing could be that the heater in the Ice Maker has gone bad, the timer motor could be bad, and there are other reasons but they all are not things that you can replace. And even if you could the parts that you would replace would cost more than a new Ice Maker.
I suggest you take out your old Ice Maker, which is not hard to do, two screws to loosen and an electric plug to unplug, then take it to someone that sells your brand of refrigerator and purchase a new one, should be around $125 to $150.
Hope this helps

Ice bin must be locked in place for proper ice dispensing. If necessary, turn auger driver behind ice bin counterclockwise to properly align ice bin with auger driver.
• Press the switch ON to activate ice maker. Slide bin into guide rails located on either side of the enclosure. Push the ice bin in until resistance is felt. Raise the front slightly and push the ice bin completely in. An audible "click" is heard when the ice bin is located correctly.
• After freezer section reaches between 0° to 2° F (-18° to -17° C), ice maker fills with water and begins operating. You will have a complete harvest of ice
approximately every hour.
• Allow approximately 3 to 6 hours after installation to receive first harvest of ice.
• Discard ice created within the first 12 hours of operation to verify system is flushed of impurities.
• Stop ice production by pressing the ON/OFF switch located on the front of the ice maker.
• The first one or two batches will probably contain undersized and irregular cubes because of air in the supply line.
• When the ice cubes are ejected it is normal for several cubes to be joined together at the ends. They can easily be broken apart. The ice maker will
continue to make ice until the supply of ice cubes raises the ice maker arm, shutting the ice maker off.
• Certain sounds may accompany the various cycles of the ice maker. The motor may have a slight hum, the cubes will rattle as they fall into an empty storage bin and the water valve may click or "buzz" occasionally.

Ice maker stopped making
ice. For this problem you have check few things. First thing, is the water
filling in the ice maker chamber and then ice maker not making ice? Or, the
water is not filling in the ice maker chamber so it's not making ice. If the
water is not filling in the ice maker chamber then it's clear that ice is not
getting made due to no water in the chamber. For no water filling, the problem
is either water supply valve turned off so water is not filling. Turn on the
water supply and it will fill. But if the water supply is turned on then the
other possibility is ice blockage in the water fill tube. There is a tube from
which the water runs and enters the ice maker chamber. If this tube is blocked
then water will not enter the chamber. The tube needs to be defrosted, by using
hair dryer. This procedure melts the ice collected in
the tube and water starts running again. But if water fill
tube is completely clear and no ice blockage or any other blockage. Then other
possibility is water valve at the back of ice maker unit. This water valve is
for letting the water in the ice maker. The water valve open only for
7 seconds and in this time the water fills in the ice maker chamber and then
water valve closes and the same procedure runs again in the next
water filling cycle.------- For your information I will mention that there are
two valves. One is the main valve the back of the fridge section. This main
valve lets the water enter the refrigerator and other valve is at the back
of ice-maker section. This other valve lets the water to enter the
ice maker. In most of the cases the fault is water valve at the back of ice
maker section. ------------- The other above possibilities which I gave you is
water not filling in ice-maker chamber so it's not making ice. But
now consider that water is filling in ice maker chamber but it's
still not making ice. Then the problem is ice maker unit itself. This unit is
controlled by main board. But in most cases if water is filling the ice maker
but it's not making ice then its faulty ice maker unit. So see if the problem
is water not entering the ice maker then the water fill tube is frosted by ice
or the water valve at the back of ice maker is faulty. Replace the valve.
------------But if ice is getting made in the ice tray,but the ice is not ejecting out then there is blockage to the ice ejecting blade.May be some ice is got stuck below inside.Clear all ice frost collected under the ice chamber.And then see.---------------

2012 U.S. Election
Romney and Obama square off in Long Island
Related Stories
President Barack Obama and his Republican challenger Mitt Romney will square off here Tuesday night in their second debate this election.
And the stakes are very high for the showdown, which comes as the two are statistically tied not just nationally, but in many of the crucial battleground states.
Since Romney's unanimous win over the president at the first debate in Denver earlier this month, momentum for the GOP ticket has surged, tying up the race where once the president was pulling ahead.
But unlike Denver, where a confident Romney trounced a passive, lacklustre Obama, the showdown at Hofstra University is a town hall forum where undecided voters -- about 80 of them chosen by the Gallup polling firm - will ask the questions covering everything from foreign policy, to the economy and social issues.
And it's those same people, both in the audience and the tens of millions watching at home, with whom Romney and Obama will try desperately to empathize with for 90 minutes.
In the so-called people's debate, it's more about convincing voters you share their pain than inflicting it on your opponent.
So while the Obama campaign is promising a more "energetic" president Tuesday, the trick is to be aggressive and passionate without seeming out of place in the town hall setting.
"He's calm and energized and just looking forward to getting to New York" on Tuesday, Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters Monday.
Conversely, the challenge for Romney, whose earlier attempts to connect emotionally with voters largely fell flat, is to do just that. Feel middle class economic pain even though he himself is worth $250 million.
But a strong performance by Romney could keep propelling him in the polls and with only three weeks left until Election Day, he could open an insurmountable lead starting here Tuesday.
Another consideration for the candidates -- and the super bowl-sized audience -- is that town hall debates shine a spotlight on candidates' body language.
Consider Bill Clinton's command of the stage in 1992, when he walked towards a questioner and spoke softly about how he had been affected by the hard times in the late 1980s. Bubba wooed the whole nation.
In that same debate, then president George H. W. Bush infamously and purposefully gazed down at his watch looking impatient and was snippy with a woman who asked him a question about the national debt.
In 2000, George W. Bush laid a smackdown on Al Gore with just a commanding nod of his head when Gore awkwardly walked close to him on stage.
Obama readied for Tuesday's debate by spending three days at a secluded resort in Virginia. Romney was preparing for the past several days at a Marriot hotel near his home in Massachusetts.
As was the case in the earlier presidential and vice-presidential debates, the moderator for Tuesday's matchup, CNN's Candy Crowley, is taking some heat already, only this time it's from the campaigns.
In fact, it may be the only thing Obama and Romney agree on, and that's Crowley shouldn't be allowed to ask followup questions, but rather her role should be limited to moderating the post-audience question discussion between the two men.
Crowley has reportedly said she sees her role differently and was not a part of the negotiations between the two camps ahead of the debate.

What Is Vertical Learning?
We learn vertically when we revise mental models by building up and drilling down. Vertical learning is a theory and set of design principles for creating learning experiences that enable and encourage us to grow as independent vertical learners in all facets of our lives.
Revising Mental Models
We learn by constructing and revising mental models. A mental model is an internal theory for how and why something works. New mental models are naive. Mental models only become sophisticated and powerful once they have been applied and revised over time. We revise mental models when they don't work reliably, we encounter edge cases, we apply them in new contexts, or we recognize that several separate models can be unified into one general model.
Building Up, Drilling Down
A vertical curriculum enables us to learn vertically by maximizing the opportunities we have to revise our mental models. Instead of constructing new mental models to learn something new, we leverage and build on existing mental models. By constantly leveraging and building on a core set of models, we apply and revise those models repeatedly in new contexts over time, increasing the sophistication of our understanding and developing skills that we can use to revise other mental models. We build up when we leverage a mental model to learn something new, and we drill down when we revise a mental model to understand something better.
Apples and Bananas
Most of us have sophisticated and robust mental models for thinking about collections of objects. We work with collections every day and we have a wealth of experience with them. These mental models are so sophisticated that we can use them to think about apples and bananas in baskets even if we have never worked with apples and bananas in baskets before. By leveraging and building on an existing sophisticated mental model, and revising that mental model by applying it in a series of increasingly complex scenarios, students are able to construct a sophisticated understanding of the distributive property in one lesson.
Want them to start from the inside and work their way out? Want them to start from the outside and work their way in? How about starting somewhere in the middle? No problem. Their mental model is flexible and sophisticated enough to handle it.
I have taught this lesson to hundreds of students and, within 30 minutes and without exception, every one of them has been able to simplify expressions like the one below, and explain and justify their reasoning while doing it. Students are remarkably capable when applying sophisticated mental models. They are unsurprisingly less capable when applying mental models that are new and naive.
Scalability and Leverage
A vertical curriculum is designed around mental models that scale and have leverage. Mental models that scale have room to grow and can be revised and applied over many years. Mental models that have leverage can be applied in many contexts and used to learn new things.
Noted physicist and educator Richard Feynman once wrote: "If, in some cataclysm, all scientific knowledge were to be destroyed, and only one sentence passed on to the next generations of creatures, what statement would contain the most information in the fewest words? I believe it is the atomic hypothesis (or the atomic fact, or whatever you wish to call it) that all things are made of atoms—little particles that move around in perpetual motion, attracting each other when they are a little distance apart, but repelling upon being squeezed into one another. In that one sentence, you will see, there is an enormous amount of information about the world, if just a little imagination and thinking are applied."
In Chemistry from the Ground Up, we drill down into the atomic hypothesis by investigating how and why molecules attract each other, and build up by leveraging our revised mental model to construct sophisticated understandings of states of matter, evaporation and condensation, phase transitions, chemical reactions, solubility, and cell chemistry on top of it.
|Mental models go from yellow to green
to blue as they increase in sophistication
In a series of lessons I call Applying Statistical Mechanics to Model Dynamic Systems with Net Flows down Gradients, we apply the atomic hypothesis by drilling down into diffusion and modeling particles moving around in perpetual motion with pennies. Instead of leveraging an existing mental model that is already sophisticated, as in Apples and Bananas, this time we are taking a naive mental model and revising it over time so that it becomes sophisticated.
As we drill down and unpack diffusion, our understanding deepens and our mental model gains new dimensions and detail. The process of drilling down makes a model less opaque as we begin to detect and understand the underlying mechanisms. From there, we then use the mental model we have constructed to understand diffusion as a shared foundation to build up and construct a more sophisticated understanding of electrical circuits, fluid flow, and heat transfer. Along the way, we revise our mental models dozens of times and, because these mental models are constructed on top of one another, each time we revise one of them, we revise them all.
Journeying to a New Mountain
Revising a mental model can be scary and difficult. The analogy I use is journeying from one mountain to another.
Imagine that you are on a mountain. This is your existing mental model. Life is pretty good on top of this mountain, and it took a lot of hard work to get to where you are now. In the distance, you think you see a taller and better mountain, but you can't be sure. Between you and this new mountain is a treacherous valley. Not only is the terrain in the valley incredibly difficult to traverse, the valley is also enshrouded in fog. Once you descend into the valley, you lose all sense of direction and can easily get turned around.
Providing students with opportunities to revise their mental models is not enough. We also have to encourage them to descend into the valley. Reluctant learners are reluctant to descend into the valley because the journey looks risky (it's difficult and dangerous, and we might not make it) and the rewards uncertain (is the new mountain really taller and better than the current mountain?).
To make a journey safer, pick a mountain that is close and a path where the terrain is easy. In Applying Statistical Mechanics, we start by modeling diffusion by flipping pennies. This model is concrete and transparent. The mechanics of the model are intuitive and make sense, and students have a "360-degree" view of everything that happens. They can watch what is happening on the macroscopic scale, drill down to the molecular scale, and connect the two. The experience is also immersive. Students are surrounded by visual data with clear and immediate feedback. All of this makes analyzing and understanding diffusion easier and more accessible.
To make a journey more rewarding, pick a mountain that is tall and has a good view of a bunch of even taller mountains. We feel pleased and satisfied when we scale a tall mountain and our mental model makes more sense, and we feel powerful when our mental model has more leverage and exciting new destinations are suddenly within our reach. Leverage can't be theoretical; it has to be experienced. Students experience that leverage by drilling down into diffusion and then leveraging their mental model to understand electrical circuits, fluid flow, and heat transfer. But they also experience that leverage by conducting their own investigations and solving their own application problems.
Think of the destinations that we can see and reach easily from our current position as a sandbox we can explore and play in. That sandbox should expand each time we scale a new mountain because our new mountain is taller (we can see farther) and we are getting more skilled at traversing the valley (we can travel farther, faster, and over more difficult terrain). Otherwise, what's the point? If a journey is safe but unrewarding, we may go on the first journey, but we won't go on a second.
By guiding reluctant learners on safe journeys to mountains with leverage, we supply them with experiences and new data that can shift their risk-reward calculations and help them become active learners. Active learners actively test and evaluate their mental models, seeking out edge cases and new contexts where their mental models might fail, so that they can revise their mental models and improve their understanding. Active learners don't avoid the valley, they descend into the valley eager to reach the next mountain.
Shifting Gears
How do we know if we are learning vertically? Vertical learners pass through a number of shifts. I call them gear shifts. A gear shift is a major expansion in our ability to perceive and pursue opportunities.
The first gear shift is the shift from reluctant to active learner. My most reluctant learners typically shift into active learners in six months. "I'm not sure I understand how to do that problem. Can I come up to the board and figure it out?" "I think I understand it but I'm not sure. Can you give me a really hard problem so that I can test myself?" I hear those two requests over and over again. As active learners, my students would take the initiative to make sure they understood what we were doing, but they still relied on me to guide them. They couldn't navigate their way through the valley to the next mountain on their own, but they were eager to follow someone who could.
After three years, some of my students shifted gears again. They shifted from active learners to sense-making learners. They knew when something made sense and when it didn't, and they knew which way to head in the valley even though it was enshrouded in fog. But they weren't confident in their ability to traverse the terrain. So while they would try to steer the class in the right direction, they wouldn't strike off on their own if the class was heading the wrong way.
The next gear shift is from sense-making learner to independent learner. In this gear, we are determined to make sense of things, typically in a specific domain. We have built up and drilled down so far, and our thinking in that domain is so sophisticated, that it nags at us when something doesn't make sense or one of our mental models isn't integrated and grounded with the rest. None of my students shifted to independent learner while I was their teacher, but I believe that they would have in time. Consider how far they did shift in three years or less, and from inside a school system that doesn't nurture vertical learning. Imagine what students could do in ten years in a school system and society that does nurture vertical learning.
As we learn vertically, we grow and shift gears; and as we shift gears, we learn vertically in more facets of our lives.
Vertical Learning as Theory
- We learn by constructing and revising mental models.
- Mental models only become sophisticated and powerful once they have been applied and revised over time.
- We build up when we leverage a mental model to learn something new, and we drill down when we revise a mental model to understand something better.
- Leveraging and building up from an existing sophisticated mental model enables us to construct new understandings that are also sophisticated.
- Drilling down into a mental model makes the model less opaque as we unpack it and begin to detect and understand the underlying mechanisms.
- When we construct mental models on top of one another and revise one of them, we revise them all.
- We are motivated to revise mental models when our risk-reward analysis is favorable. Our risk-reward analysis is based on data from past experiences.
- Revising mental models is easier when underlying mechanisms are concrete and transparent, and data and feedback are clear and immediate.
- We feel pleased and satisfied when our mental models make more sense, and we feel powerful when our mental models have more leverage.
- Our ability to perceive and pursue opportunities increases as the sophistication of our mental models and our ability to revise them increase.
Vertical Learning as Design Principles
- Construct mental models that scale and have leverage.
- Enable and encourage students to revise mental models.
- Apply mental models in increasingly sophisticated contexts.
- Leverage and build on a core set of mental models over time to learn new things.
- Create learning experiences that are concrete, transparent, and immersive.
- Sequence learning experiences so that, by revising their mental models, students build sophistication and leverage for the next experience.
- Encourage inquiry and enable students to conduct their own investigations and solve their own application problems.
- Provide opportunities for students to reflect on and internalize their experiences.
- Develop learning communities where students are peers and learning is explicit and the priority.
- Use the occurrence of gear shifts to evaluate your design.
Vertical Learning as Mental Model
Vertical learning builds on a number of existing learning theories. I didn't develop vertical learning because those theories are wrong. I developed vertical learning because those theories are too naive to help me figure out how to enable and encourage students to revise their mental models and shift gears. For the past twenty years, I applied and revised existing learning theories, building up and drilling down in an attempt to construct a more sophisticated understanding of how we learn and grow. Vertical learning is the result.
Vertical learning is very much a work-in-progress. It's still not nearly sophisticated enough. But it has reached the point where I'm ready to talk about it. But how do you talk about a theory that's been revised for twenty years behind closed doors? Once again, I find myself following Richard Feynman's lead. This post is a little wordier than Feynman's atomic hypothesis, but it serves the same purpose. Think of this post as a launching point. In this one post, you will see, there is an enormous amount of information about how we learn and grow, if just a little imagination and thinking are applied.
Drill down and build up. I'll see you on the next mountain!

Regulatory Impact Assessments
Regulatory Impact Assessments (RIAs) are prepared and published by the Government for all primary legislation introduced into and secondary legislation laid before Parliament. In the case of most Government Bills, a RIA forms part of the Explanatory Memoranda to the Bill: in other cases, a separate document is issued. RIAs are an assessment for the business sector of the costs involved in complying with the legislation. The Department of Trade and Industry issues a six monthly list of RIAs as a Command Paper. The publication of this paper is noted in the White Papers section of the Digest.

Boswyck Farms had a blast this past Wednesday, the 22nd, at the Horticultural Society of New York giving our "Intro to Hydroponics" lecture, followed up by our famous soda bottle workshop.
We had a great group of 15 students who had varying levels of experience with hydroponics. Some had never seen a system, and this workshop was their first real exposure to what hydroponics is all about. Others in the class had not only seen a setup before, but maintained their own hydroponics and aquaponics system in the past (something Boswyck Farms will also be venturing into in the near future).
Our lectures and workshops are geared towards anyone who is interested- regardless of experience level, and all the students had a great time learning from us and each other, asking questions and getting hands-on experience building their own mini-hydroponic system.
Our next workshop will be this Saturday, February 25th at Just Food, where we will be giving the soda-bottle workshop. All you need to do is sign up, bring the bottle, and have a great time learning a new skill! Sign up here!
Check out general info on our workshops here. You can also like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter to get the latest news on when and where our next workshops will be held.

Inman E. Page Library has several departments which correlate and function together to provide the best possible service to the University. It is our hope that our patrons will profit from their experience in this enriched academic environment.
Library Mission Statement
We affirm that the library's purpose is to support the University's mission of academic success, by providing access to appropriate resources, in order to promote lifelong learning through the University and the greater Central Missouri Community. (FY 2002-2003 Annual Report, p. 2)
Library Vision Statement
Page Library will be recognized by its patrons and peers for its enthusiasm, and its effective use of current, enduring, and dynamic technologies to better serve the campus and community. (FY 2002-2003 Annual Report, p. 2)
The purpose of Administration within the library is to provide administrative direction and support in order to ensure the continuing operation of the library. This area is generally covered by two positions, that of the Director of Library Services and the Administrative Assistant to the Director of Library Services.
The purpose of Archives is to serve as the official repository for the historical records and documents of Lincoln University of Missouri. Archives strives to preserve the University's history while providing access to the materials for users throughout the Institution and Community. In addition, the Archives promotes cultural awareness by supporting ethnic-related lectures and exhibits, and by displaying archival artifacts and art.
The University Archives & Ethnic Studies Center is located on the third floor of Inman E. Page Library and generally operates with two positions; the University Archivist and a Library Assistant.
The Purpose of Circulation is to provide a centralized location for managing circulating materials and a point of personal contact for patrons to facilitate customer service. Circulation serves as a major hub in the library, providing access to a variety of material and processes that are fundamental to library services. The processes include basic Circulation, Inter-Library Loan, Reservation of Materials, Reference assistance and other tasks as needed.
Because of its importance to the library, circulation is one of the more heavily staffed areas. It is covered by a day and night shift of professional staff; usually a split of 3 professional staff - day shift and 2 professional staff night shift. Day staff normally consists of a Circulation librarian, and two Reference Librarians. Night staff usually consists of a Night Manager and a Library Assistant.
Page Library has an Open Stack policy. This means that all patrons may enter into the stacks without identification in order to retrieve materials. However, patrons must present their institution ID to check-out materials.
Government Documents
The purpose of Government Documents is to provide access to State and Federal documents to the patrons of the library and act as a repository for such materials on behalf of the U.S. Government. Page Library was designated an official depository for the U.S. Government publications in 1944. The online catalog is a tool for access to the holdings of other libraries including University of Missouri at Columbia (a full depository for Federal Government Documents) and Library of Congress holdings.
A Page Library Public Service Librarian is the overall Supervisor of the Government Document Area. There is one full-time professional and one full-time assistant who work with government documents. Student workers are also assigned to provide assistance in this area.
Elizabeth Briscoe Wilson Technology Center
The purpose of a media service center is to provide access to technology and media based instructional materials and equipment through service, education, and access to current and advanced technology. The mission of the Elizabeth Brisco Wilson Technology Center (EBW Technology Center), also known as Media Services, is to fulfill this purpose – in cooperation with other technology units on campus –, to enhance and support the library's mission, and to support Lincoln University's mission of education.
The EBW Technology Center is located on the ground floor of Page Library and is composed of several rooms. It serves the University as an academic support unit and works to provide a broad spectrum of multimedia services. A variety of materials, including hardware and software, is maintained by the center. Patrons may check out some items, depending upon policy and availability. However, some materials are not available for circulation.
The MC is staffed with two library personnel and student workers. The library positions are usually listed as: Media Center Coordinator and Media Center Assistant.
The purpose of periodicals is to provide patrons with current resources for daily interests and research and investigation of topics.
Page Library maintains a collection of current periodicals on the main floor. There is also a collection of older periodicals available in printed/microform formats on the third floor. Periodicals do not circulate. Periodical availability may be researched via the online catalog Arthur. An extensive collection of online database is available through subscribed electronic resources
One of the primary purposes of a library is to facilitate research and provide reference services to its patrons. To assist with this purpose, a reference station composed of a PC with two mirror monitors has been placed at the far end of the Circulation counter, facing the Reference Stacks. Here the librarian may assist a patron, allowing them to share in the process of the search and investigation.
The library also offers online reference services which may be found at: http://www.lincolnu.edu/web/library/electronic-resources#Reference_Assistance
It is the policy that online reference questions be answered quickly, and within 48 hours of receipt of the query whenever possible. Librarians are not obliged to "do the work" for students, but to provide the means to acquire the answer when appropriate.
Reference is provided by all librarians, but there are three professional positions designated specifically as Reference; though duties may be split between other services.
Technical Services
The purpose of the Technical Services and System Administration Department is to provide core background services to assist with the mission of the library and University. It is responsible for the acquisition, cataloging and processing of educational materials for the Library, the coordination of the integrated online library system with the MOBIUS consortium, and the management of electronic databases.
