Hour of Code gives students first look at programming
Throughout Bennington County and all around the world, students from kindergarten through high school are this week getting a taste of computer coding through the "Hour of Code."
Hour of Code, which was created in 2013 by twin brothers Hadi and Ali Partovi of Code.org, encourages students to spend an hour learning about coding. The website offers free activities for students of all ages to practice both the basic concepts and more advanced coding, but it was only one of several methods that local teachers are using to help their students explore the world of programming.
Southwest Vermont Supervisory Union Tech Integration Specialist Sally Bisaccio said that the Hour of Code is not designed to be the students' only experience with coding, but rather an introduction. "Mostly what we're looking for is for people to just try it," she said. While it is up to individual teachers and principals to decide whether or not, or how to participate in the program, she said that all the schools of the SVSU are participating or have participated in the past.
Bisaccio compared coding to art and music, in that it represents another modality through which students can explore self-expression. "For some kids, that's an ideal way to express themselves," she said. "If that's their way, we just opened the door."
On Code.org, students can select from dozens of coding-related activities, many of which are themed after popular franchises, such as Minecraft, Star Wars, Disney's Frozen, and more. Students learn the process of coding through dragging and dropping commands, and more advanced students can even begin typing their own commands.
For younger students, some schools used other tools. At Monument and Bennington Elementary Schools, students used "BeeBots," small, programmable robots that move via inputted commands from the students. If, for example, a student pressed "forward, forward, forward, left, forward, go," the robot would move forward three times, rotate 90 degrees to the left, then move forward once more. From that point the student could either enter more commands, extending the code, or press cancel to start over.
Students worked in groups to try and navigate the BeeBots around obstacles, or through courses they designed. Working through trial-and-error, with a lot of problem solving, the students eventually succeeded. One industrious group of first graders in Ms. Harrington's class at Monument even managed to have their bot pushed a cylindrical block out of the way, back up, and navigate the rest of the way toward the goal.
One of the most common errors for students using the BeeBots for the first time was mistaking the function of the "right" and "left" arrows. Many interpreted them as meaning "move to the right" rather than "turn right," resulting in bots spinning in circles rather than moving toward their goals. At Bennington Elementary, after a student pressed the right arrow five times in an attempt to move the BeeBot closer toward his classmate, library media specialist Nichole Forest said, "Well, you only needed one, but it was kind of fun to watch it spin."
Hour of Code takes place each year during Computer Science Education Week, which this year is Dec. 4 through 10.
Arlington Memorial Middle and High School computer technology teacher Nicole DelNegro-Jozefiak said that Hour of Code gives her students a chance to explore programming without taking a full course. "I often find kids who didn't think they'd like computers find out it's something they like," she said. One of the students, Bailey Cross, said that he first discovered coding through a Khan Academy class, which sparked his interest. He then looked up C++ and Javascript tutorials on YouTube. Now, he's considering a minor in computer science.
Meanwhile, a former student, Maggie Smith, participated in Hour of Code, which led to her attending a computer science program through the Governor's Institutes of Vermont the next summer. Today, she's studying Information Technology and Web Science at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
Monument Elementary third grade teacher Colleen Marcoux said that her students had taken to the coding activities. "They have a really good attitude," she said. "I haven't seen any frustration or 'This is too hard!'" Molly Stark Elementary third grade teacher Michael Nolan agreed, saying his students had been engaged in the activities all way, using teamwork and problem solving skills to crack the increasingly difficult puzzles.
"We believe that a quality computer science education should be available to every child, not just a lucky few," reads the "About" section on Code.org. "To support our goal, we do work across the education spectrum: designing our own courses or partnering with others, training teachers, partnering with large school districts, helping change government policies, expanding internationally via partnerships, and marketing to break stereotypes."

Preheat a grill or grill pan.
Mix together the garlic powder, black pepper and salt until well blended.
Form the ground beef into 4 burger patties and sprinkle each side with some of the seasoning mixture. Lightly oil the grill and grill the burgers until brown on both sides. Sprinkle the shrimp with the remaining seasoning mixture and grill alongside the burgers until pink on both sides.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large saute pan. Saute the spinach until slightly wilted, then remove and set aside. Saute the crabmeat pan in the same pan, stirring until all the lumps are coated with the remaining butter, about 1 minute. Remove the crab and set aside.
When the burgers have reached their desired temperature, place the spinach and then the crabmeat on top of each burger (while still on the grill). Firmly place a provolone slice on top of the crabmeat. Briefly grill the tomato slices on each side, then place on top of the provolone, followed by 3 shrimp and then another slice of the provolone. Remove the burgers from the grill when the provolone cheese has melted, place on the kaiser rolls and enjoy!

Sydney FC fans who pelted match officials and police with rubbish were last night threatened with life bans as Football Australia vowed to tackle hooliganism head-on.
The noose of suspicion is tightening around an unruly section of supporters who struck referee Mark Shield and several escorting officers with plastic bottles and cups as they retreated up the SFS tunnel, following Sydney's spiteful loss to Melbourne Victory last Saturday night.
Venue management yesterday invited Sydney FC and FFA officials to inspect CCTV footage and still photographs of the ugly scenes in an effort to identify the culprits.
Measures to introduce greater security along the tunnel at the end of matches were also discussed.
A separate meeting involving local area police is scheduled to take place today.
Emerging from yesterday's hour-long gathering at SFS headquarters, FFA boss Ben Buckley left suspected wrong-doers in no doubt as to the consequences they now face for leaving the A-League with an unwanted black eye.
"What happened on Saturday night is something we are taking very seriously," Buckley told The Daily Telegraph.
"There's a range of punishments that we can resort to if we are able to positively identify the perpetrators.
"Those punishments include cancelling their memberships for rest of the season.
"There is also the power to hand down lifetime bans.
"We still have to talk to police, but if we can identify individuals (life bans) are something that is open to us.
"We are very disappointed the actions of a few have detracted from the good behaviour of the vast majority."
Sydney FC operations manager Bob Patterson attended yesterday's meeting on behalf of the A-League club. He said talks with Surry Hills police this afternoon will determine the club's course of action.
"I want to make it clear that we are not ignoring this," Patterson said. "But we won't be coming to any conclusions until we've met with the other three parties involved in running the event - the venue, the police, and the FFA.
A post-match sweep of the tunnel revealed only bottles and cups - and a piece of gum - had been thrown.
Buckley said the most conclusive evidence thus far resided still photos such as the ones published above, but further TV footage was being sought last night.
"The CCTV footage is not as conclusive as we would have hoped," he said.
"We'll be speaking with Fox Sports to see if their cameras captured any further vision of the incident. If we can ID the people responsible we'll prosecute them as we see fit.
"But, like with any form of justice, we will give them a chance to defend themselves."
The FFA's stern stance earned applause from an unlikely source last night - Bulldogs fans.
Long vilified for their behaviour at NRL matches, the Bulldog Army was satisfied to hear scrutiny was being applied across codes.
"It is a great injustice that the Bulldogs are unfairly targeted as a constant source of crowd violence when one could argue that this has been a common occurrence in recent times by other teams," Bulldogs diehard Luke Brailey said last night.

*Front and Back of Yard Sign
Look at others and find ways to love them,
even if they are different from you.
Just love.
And watch what it does.
Be the Samaritan.
You've probably heard of the Good Samaritan and how it's good to be one.
The name comes from a story Jesus told in the book of Luke, chapter 10, verses 25-37:
A young man asked Jesus,
"Who is my neighbor?"
Jesus responded by telling him the story.
In it, we learn of a Samaritan man who goes out of his way to help a wounded traveler at great personal risk and sacrifice.
Jesus ends the story by telling the young man,
"Go, and do likewise."
Our neighbor is the person we encounter with a need or have the capacity to help. Loving our neighbor sometimes involves being a Samaritan.
It is our hope that the Love Your Neighbor Challenge will inspire you and your friends to follow the example of the Good Samaritan, and show the same kind of love to others.

At the weekend, a ransomware event took place that has been well publicised by the media.
This event has resulted in Microsoft issuing advice to customers to ensure that all windows computers are fully updated.
Naim Audio would actively advise all customers to follow this advice and update all Windows computers to the latest service release levels.
The following products manufactured by Naim are at a potential risk from the ransomware BUT to our current understanding ONLY if another machine on the network is affected and the virus is then transmitted to the Naim product, either via the internal network or via a USB stick.
- UnitiServe
Naim Audio are currently checking the effects and solutions to the potential vulnerability on our products, but in the interim we strongly advise any and all computers are updated to the latest service pack releases, and anti-virus software is updated to the latest definitions. We further recommend that any USB devices are scanned by the updated virus software prior to usage on the aforementioned products.
As always, we would recommend that backups for the music on these products are maintained.
With regard to NAS drives and other storage devices you may have (Apple, QNAP etc.) we recommend that the latest anti-virus and other precautions are followed, as recommended by the relevant manufacturer.

Earlier we showed you a sketch for an unusual pickup truck from Preston Tucker's archives, and asked you to complete the design. Here are the results, in alphabetical order by last name, with captions from those who provided them:
By Michael DiTullo:
"A quick side cab sketch to get this party started."
DiTullo also recorded his sketch process, so you can see how it all came together:
By Steven Madsen:
"3/4 view from the other side. Threw in a small crane for lifting heavy loads."
By Thomas Parel:
"Doodles of an electric Tucker work truck."
By Adan Schubart:
"As the original struck me as completely utilitarian, I went with a very boxy shape to allow every facet to be opened for easy access.
As this seemed like a truck for the city, it is electric and features driver access from the front to minimize street incursion.
I also had the thought of polymerized 'rubber' body panels for durability."
By the bye, Schubart, I flipped the tones on your sketch to see how similar it would look to the original:
By Eric Strebel:
"Totally got inspired by Michael's sketch! Gonna be this week's video as well. Thanks Michael! I went old school of course, colored paper, markers and pencil, like they would have done in the '40s. I made it electric modern and a Crew Cab (sort of) so you can take a buddy along to do your dirty work for you LOL! Sides slide down into the body and the ends both fold down. Glass moon roof too!"
Strebel also created a video providing voice-over and details, which we're going to file separately in our ID Tips section. Stay tuned!
Thanks to all who participated. If anyone wants to add more, I'll happily update this entry.

Gorgeous "Gernika" Poster for Malaga
- Details
- Category: Latest updates
Koldo Serra's new movie poster for Gernika which is competing for the Golden Biznaga at the Malaga Film Festival was unveiled today and it is stunning!
Gernika opens next Tuesday: To Purchase Tickets
26 April 2016 Teatro Cervantes: Press Pass at 12.00 and 22.00
27 April 2016 Cine Albeniz: 19.00 and 23.15
@gernikathemovie informs us that the premiere will be attended by Koldo Serra, the producers, as well as Maria Valverde, Ingrid Garcia-Jonsson and Barbara Goenaga.
An interview with Koldo Serra during a set visit reveals that Gernika won't be a strict war movie like Pearl Harbour, but more of a love story in context of the bombing heralding the evolution of the Second World War.
Koldo Serra says the film delivers the message how war propaganda manipulates the news that is shown to the world. "It is surprising that Germany did not officially recognize until 1997, their responsibility in the bombing of Gernika" he said.
The story recounts the love between the journalist who reported the bombing (Henry, James D'Arcy) and an idealistic editor of the Republican Press Office (Teresa, Maria Valverde). Their romance is observed with jealousy by the Soviet political commisar who controls the press office (Vasyl, Jack Davenport).
But Teresa is no damsel in distress as she is a strong heroine ahead of her time, well-educated, can speak several languages, who rebels against an arranged marriage to pursue her ideal to see democracy in Spain. As is the other female protagonist played by Ingrid Garcia-Jonsson, a brave, ambitious war photojournalist. This is also a film about emerging feminism within a patriarchal society.
Irene Escolar plays Teresa's cousin, Barbara Goenaga is Teresa's assistant, Alex Garcia, Victor Clavijo and Julian Villagran are other journalists.
Sources: Fotogramas.es by Juan Pando Women In and Out of Gernika by Eli Casares
There is also an interview with Pecado Films producer, Jose Alba which is covered in detail in this publication with new images of the film. Alba describes how Gernika was conceived and nurtured with a great deal of persistence and masochism over 5 years.

X-POSITION: Top X-Moments of 2011
Another year has come and gone, yet so much has occurred within the X-Universe, it's hard to believe only twelve months have passed! During this time, there have been deaths, births, alternate universes, huge battles, a divisive schism among mutantkind, and the (brief) reappearance of a friend long thought gone. I get dizzy thinking about it now, so obviously my brain went on overload when trying to tabulate your votes for the Top X-Moments of 2011!
Thankfully, I managed to dig through all of your emails and forum postings, separated the wheat from the chaff, and arrived at a semi-scientific list that I hope many will agree with (and is bound to infuriate at least one individual from the boards). Your comments were funny, insightful, and full of the passion that makes being an X-fan such a great experience.
I know lots of end-of-the-year lists consist of a "Top Ten" but, just as last year, I'm sticking with a "Damn Great Dozen." Heck, there was enough greatness to make a "Terrific Twenty" list, but I only have so much space in this column. As these top moments are all about you and your opinions, I'm mostly just going to sit back and let your words guide our fun. So let's get to it!
A good way to start things off is at the beginning, and you don't get much more of a new start than a birth. However, when it comes to X-Factor, even a simple thing like the arrival of an infant is extremely complex — especially when the mother is a mutant and the father is a Wolf Prince from Asgard!
I loved that cute furball coming out of Rahne's mouth!
Rahne coughed up one hell of a hairball. I know now what I'm going to tell my kids when they ask where they came from…
It was the kiss no one was expecting, and yet so many were grateful for it. Who knew "X-Men: The Last Stand" would be so prophetic?
Bobby being an immature underachiever was getting old. Bobby saw what he wanted and took it. "Wolverine & the X-Men" #2 bodes well for the future in many ways…
–Phoenix Egg
In "Wolverine & the X-Men" # 2, Logan's speech to Bobby was endearing and impeccable — "Step up and be counted." And here, how Bobby steps up — it's golden! His powers reach new heights and he gets tongue-in-cheek…with Kitty!
–Renaldo Matadeen
Here is another surprising moment from the past year — a battle between two of mutantkind's most handsome bachelors in "Daken: Dark Wolverine" #8. It just goes to prove that women read comics too — although everyone loves a good ass-kicking!
This year has been kind of short on great one-on-one fights, but this has everything you could want: two hot males, sexual tension, and punching in the rain.
— Bigbarda
I'm voting for this because the art by Marco Checchetto is stellar, especially the depiction of Gambit's power signature.
–Sarah Barnes
I'd like to vote for the fight between Gambit and Daken in "Daken: Dark Wolverine" #8. Everything from the conversation where Daken tried to charm Gambit (but got Remy's Bo Staff in his throat instead) to the awesome display of power showed in the book's amazing art was terrific. It really was a great moment between two fantastic characters, and it was refreshing to see Gambit actually kick some ass again.
–Nick Jones
Several years ago, an event occurred which changed mutantkind forever. In "House of M," the Scarlet Witch uttered a simple phrase that sent the X-Men's world into a tailspin: "No more mutants." This took the children of the atom down a path which first led to Utopia and has now taken them to "Schism." So what could be more appropriate to undo the source of these troubles with another simple phrase in the pages of "Avengers: The Children's Crusade?" Is now the time for "more mutants?"
While I understand this is technically an "Avengers" book, the Scarlet Witch belongs to the X-verse. The big moment this year is when Wanda remembers everything. The ramifications are innumerable, and have only been hinted at. This moment felt huge before we learned that she will be playing a large role in Avengers Vs. X-Men…
— Al Gonzalez
Cheung's art and Heinberg's witty script play off each other well. Wanda reignites the first mutant depowered by her since M-Day…and naturally wanton violence ensues.
–Renaldo Matadeen
Fans have been wondering for some time when the X-Men's Westchester school would reopen. In 2011, it finally happened, but in a way that no one could have anticipated!
The whole concept of the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning and the entirety of "Wolverine & the X-Men" #1 was a top moment. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed an X-book that much, from the actual story to the additional material in the back. The staff diagram and curriculum deserves a special shout-out. Between the "Bamfs," the statue of Jean, the introduction of Broo as a main character, and the use of Rachel and Doop as receptionist — it's pure gold.
— Bigbarda
The naming of the school suggests both Jean Grey worship and a Logan/Jean pairing. I'm looking forward to their first interaction upon her return.
–Phoenix Egg
It's the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning. 'Nuff said.
Many of you called out particular moments of Cyclops' leadership over the past year. Rather than dispersing these votes over several moments, I hope you'll excuse me as I lumped them together and cherry-picked the moments you loved most!
Cyclops begging Storm to pretend she doesn't want to go with Logan is on my list! I was afraid they would shoehorn Storm into Scott's team. I just couldn't see her choosing him over Logan. Thankfully, her staying with Scott wasn't so contrived. And honestly, I just like seeing Scott humbled.
–Phoenix Egg
I loved Storm questioning Scott raising his hand at not being characterized as "mainly super villain" in "Uncanny X-Men" #1. It was funny and also a great fan-service.
…I can't imagine anything topping this moment for sheer awesome and meta-commentary.
Cyclops (not so subtly) insisting mutantkind will NOT be dicked with anymore! For a while, it felt as though "Uncanny X-Men" kept telling us what a good leader Cyclops was, but with only a few exceptions, we didn't really see it. Gillen's show-rather-than-tell approach illustrates Scott's level of planning and creative improvisation.
A la Nolan's "Dark Knight" film — Scott did what the mayor of San Francisco failed to do. While she considered exterminating Utopia to save the humans, when she asks Scott if he'd consider the inverse, his response shows just how far he's grown — love him or hate him — in protecting his species…as well as [his feelings for] humans.
–Renaldo Matadeen
I loved the Moonstar Cadre and the moment Husk tells Cannonball she won't return to flesh and blood until he grieves for their family.
There have been certain moments that X-fans constantly request from writers in X-POSITION, and these two definitely rank high on that list! With that in mind, there was bound to be high expectations with regard to these events. Fortunately, writer Mike Carey knows how to deliver!
Polaris, Havok and Rachel Summers were out in space for so long that it was great to see them return from limbo. Plus, Magneto finally referred to Polaris as his daughter and was shown to care for her. This had been left hanging for so long; I'm glad it's now been dealt with. It was also nice to see Magneto finally give her a nod on panel that was very in character. Given their history, Magneto's lack of acknowledgement about his youngest female child was a noticeable problem and it was great that a story finally addressed it.
I loved seeing Magneto teach Polaris how to use her powers more concisely.
I see all your emails every week, and if there's one think I can conclude from them it's this: X-fans are hopeless romantics. Not a single week goes by that I don't receive a missive asking when Mutant X is going to get romantically involved with Mutant Y. Of these pairings, there are a handful that folks are dying to see. The #4 moment of this year is definitely one of these.
Rogue and Magneto on the final two pages of "X-Men: Legacy" #249 definitely stood out for me in this year's X-books. And calling it the best X-Moment of 2011 amounts to honoring the satisfying culmination of a long-running subplot…
— Menshevik
This one gets my vote too, I think it was a pretty gutsy move on Carey's part to take twenty-plus years of attraction between the characters and finally do something with it. He built up to it in his run, but it was still shocking the way it happened.
Withdrawing from the expected norms of nostalgic and saccharine romance, Mike Carey used "Age of X" as a springboard for an unexpected and risky romance between 'Legacy's' heroine Rogue and iconic villain Magneto. Magneto, who had since voluntarily submitted to the X-Men's practices, played devil's advocate and the two found themselves in each other's arms after closely working together in the aforementioned reality warp. While the pair has caused a ruckus on the internet, the twosome are yet another example of the reason why we all loved Mike Carey's writing in the first place: unorthodox, risky, and recklessly captivating.
–Faded (Deluxe)
If there's anything X-fans enjoy as much as a good romance, it's a graceful return from the dead — although we can't say for certain that this is what occurred in "Wolverine" #8. What we can deduce is that there's a chance Jean Grey/Phoenix is still out there, and that lots of folks are going to read "Avengers Vs. X-Men" in 2012 to see what becomes of the Phoenix Force.
You don't get much of Jean Grey these days, so when she randomly pops up in the X-books, it always brightens my day.
–Josh Tylen
The love of Logan's life and Logan's best friend appear from beyond death to save the Canucklehead from a foe he can't stab — it's just great!
–Phoenix Egg
…anything is better with Jean Grey involved.
–Tracy Brandt
Jean Grey appears in "Wolverine" #8 and tells Wolverine to live. It was a beautiful moment and totally a Jean thing to do.
–Jessica Sota
This was another "moment" where I, as judge of this list, had to stretch things. Many emails and forum postings mentioned "Uncanny X-Force" moments from the beginning of the year, and then — in the same breath — turn around and add events from the book's end-of-year storyline. My hands felt tied, so I'm naming the entire year's worth of stories as moment #2. And if you don't like it — get your own column!
If January's issue was #4 and December's is #19, that means we had sixteen issues of "Uncanny X-Force" in twelve months (not including the .1!) . For this book, that turns out to be a good thing!
— Al Gonzalez
"Uncanny X-Force" is by far the most compelling X-series since Carey's adjectiveless run on X-Men. Smart, funny, tragic, and dramatic — just essential reading for any X-fan. If I had to pick one story line, it is the 'Dark Angel Saga'…or Fantomex shooting young Apocalypse.
In just one year, Rick Remender managed to redefine Psylocke and bring her back to her core. To watch every stage of the decay of her relationship with Warren leading to the final confrontation between them was very profound and quite sad. I don't think she was ever written this good. Also props to Opeña who got rid of her thong and gave her pants!
Archangel/Psylocke's heartbreaking love story gets my vote. It's not a specific moment, but…it was a thrilling to witness pretty boy Warren becoming one of the most compelling villains to ever grace the X-pages. It's just great stuff.
— Ben Tennyson
Archangel asking Betsy in issue #16 "Does it cause you pain to know I manipulated you? That your love is the reason I was allowed to hide and thrive?" was like a punch to the soul. Everything about Archangel/Psylocke this year was just that good in my eyes and number one in my book…
–Like a Butterfly
This is a book that has been consistently good since its inception, but between the conclusion to "The Apocalypse Solution" and the epic craziness that has been Archangel's ascension, 2011 has been a rollercoaster all the way through. The stunning artwork from Jerome Opeña has been the perfect companion to Remender's story.
— Toboe
While the previous moment(s) did garner many votes, after going through your postings and emails with a fine-toothed comb, it was clear that no other character defined 2011 like Idie Okonkwo. Although she isn't a "moment," her actions (one in particular) determined the X-Men's direction for some time to come. In this past year, Idie brought about death, the Schism and a reinvention (as she tries for a second chance at the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning). As forum poster Fod_xp stated, "Idie was 2011."
Idie is more self-aware than every mutant in history of the MU.
— Meehl
I love that we found another minority character that can be a star. She's gonna grow up to be extra blunt and extra awesome. Not to mention that she's a GREAT troll.
–Phoenix Egg
Idie Okonkwo was the breakout character of 2011. The most interesting new mutant character to be created in a while, Idie impressed me with the unique way she's come to terms with what she is. She is a tragic figure, but so much fun to read at the same time. Her defining moments in "Schism" and "Generation Hope" #10 turned her into a favorite of mine.
"Generation Hope" #10 was extremely poignant as we actually see the inside of Idie's thoughts, and she's even more messed up than we had imagined.
— Khajit
Two moments in "Generation Hope" #10 spoke to me: Idie talking about killing the Hellfire Club soldiers and asking if she needs to kill anyone else; also, her watching Rachel's video and talking about being a hound. Great moment and great storytelling by Gillen. I'll miss him writing Idie.
"Generation Hope" might be the last in a long line of X-Men junior squads, but none before them have exemplified the kind of interpersonal tension this dysfunctional group has. [Everything] comes to a head when 14-year-old member Oya ends up killing dozens of Hellfire soldiers, and the team's members must agree to allow the youngest of the Five Lights to join Wolverine's school. Purposeful, hilarious, and unpredictable, 2011 was the year that Generation Hope became the most engaging X-juniors the line has ever seen.
–Faded (Deluxe)
That wraps up our "Top X-Moments" list for 2011 with a shiny bow. Thank you, once again, for all your submissions which helped to form this awe-inspiring list. Remember, X-POSITION exists as a special place where you, the readers, get to ask questions of your favorite X-creators. Our columns are only as good as your participation, so we appreciate your involvement in 2011 and look forward to even more fun in 2012! And I have a feeling there's going to be lots to talk about in the coming year…
Speaking of which, "X-Factor" writer Peter David will be here in seven days to answer your inquiries about his book. So start off 2012 in an inquisitive way and send me some thought-provoking missives as quickly as you can. Please put an "X-Position" in the subject line, and keep it lower case (no CAPS LOCK screaming while I recover from a late night December 31). Happy New Year!

This tool is inspired from tools you can find in 2D animation softwares,
like the Onion Layers in Flash or the Echo effect in After Effects.
It's a new max object where you can pick different sources and offset their time animation, but also divide this time offset by the number of source copies you want.
– creating nice animated duplication effects, for motion graphics or simply to check your animation without using trajectories.
– copy N times the source object with an animated time delay.
– you can now offset the transforms of these time copies.
– rotate the copies around an animatable pivot.
– use a spline to place them, slide along that spline.
– create automatically new material ID's
– detach all faces
– random time offset

Books by Clarity Coachings Shawn Brodof
"Got Rudder?" is an interactive, information-packed session
during which we share with our audience a technique to maintain
and sustain their motivation, drive and focus despite the influence
of outside forces.
The audience is taken on a journey to determine where their passionate
and enthusiasm lies. We link that to their level of motivation,
drive and focus. We help them reevaluate their current situation,
if these components are missing, and crystallize their situation
if things are going well.
They are walked through a rigorous goal-setting exercise at the
end of which they have identified several long-term goals (business
or personal). We then help them identify and capture opportunities
that may currently be available while identifying and learning to
leverage their personal strengths in doing so.
This part of the presentation ends with an exercise to develop
an action plan to attain the goals they set forth.
Fresh off the goal-setting module, we conclude "Got Rudder?"
with a discussion surrounding a Top 10 List of Effective Time
Management Techniques with a special emphasis on "getting
things out of your head".
The sessions are facilitated to encourage vigorous discussion among
the participants. The desired outcome from "Got Rudder?"
is for the participants to leave refreshed and rejuvenated with
a renewed sense of purpose and a plan to achieve the goals articulated
during the session.

Need help to create a budget/forecast for a charity, not sure where to start
Dear colleagues,
I have taken on the responsibility of creating a budget and forecast for the Ireland office only in 2013. I've been given instructions on how it may be done, but I'm not sure that that's the best way to go about it.
What I'm hoping to find is other professionals in charge of budgeting and forecasting in the charity sector to share their expertise and simplified step by step instructions on how to go about it.
Warm regards,
Angelica I.K

- A low athlete to coach ratio at training and races.
- Goal setting assistance and individual track planning available in the fall each year.
- Eight session comprehensive dryland training program.
- Includes coaching at Tyrol Holiday Camp (12/26-12/28). Discounted fee for Mt. La Crosse Holiday Camp (12/29-12/31) as a member of Mad Alpine.

So this morning I was up at six. That's not so unusual, I usually get up at four. The unusual part is: it's Saturday! So I got up and did what I have been wanting to do for ages: take the camera, take my dog, climb into my car and drive to where the sunrise is gorgeous. We're right at the point where we still have some traces of summer left but fall sends the first signs of his arrival, too. So you can be lucky: it might actually be misty and foggy and the sun might actually shine. I wasn't lucky this time. And photography did what it's been doing for the last months: it sucks!
There, I said it. It just sucks and every picture frustrates me. In fact, I've been there before – and so have many of you, I guess. The last time that happened was some time in 2013. It was shortly after my doggie arrived. I remember that because I remember the day I took the last pictures – the ones that really sucked – and realized that I couldn't take the pictures I was seeing in my mind. I'm right there again. Only this time I know it will pass. What I don't know is, when it will pass. So I'm letting go now.
The last time this happened, I was in the middle of a huge process of change. When I got my dog, he tought me structure. Before that my life was fairly unstructured and I used to live from one day to another. Kind of nice but as far as goals and success go, it doesn't work for me. When Sammy came into my life, he changed it. A lot. And for the better! But I needed time to process that change.
Now I am in another huge changing process. Maybe even bigger than that last one. It took the last four to five months to understand and to process, but during the last week it felt like something's set now. Like I found my tracks. To live the change.
That brings me to my blog. I'm not going anywhere and there will – in time – be pictures again. But I won't get anywhere by pressing it. Things around here will change, however. The blog will be getting a new name – and theme. A new direction. A little more open to the flow and maybe a little closer to what it originally meant to me. There will be more texts and I will try and get more used to publishing them without visual material. Or at least without expecting myself to find a photo for every post. The motto 'beauty in life' has outlived itself. Not that it's any less valid, but it's not my focus. My focus now is whatever occupies my brainspace. It's in a large part occupied by the 'Anti-Preneur' (you'll find out what that is soon!) and also the refugee situation and the state of the world. On a more creative level I have returned to knitting (sooooo in love with my new pieces!) and something seems to be developing in the painting-area. Last, but really, really, really not least, is the making of a whole new life. I'm in the process of finding my new job. With it will come said whole new life because I'll be moving as soon as possible. So this is what you can expect for now. It feels like I have managed to overcome the obstacles to my blog-flow and I hope I'm right.
I thank you guys for sticking around! It means a lot to me! Let me invite you all to come along and see where the change is leading. I'm looking forward to seeing you again! For now I wish you all a wonderful weekend! See you soon!

Is Horse Racing Cruel?
Horse racing is cruel. People who enjoy watching it, or who are involved in the industry will try to say it is not cruel, but it is.
Horses do not naturally run full speed for prolonged periods of time, and would certainly not do it to the extremes the horse race industry forces them to do so.
Yes, horses love to run, but not like this, in the wild they mostly trot or canter, and rarely gallop unless chased.
I took a college course on racetrack procedures, I even was hired as a groom at a race track (but before I could start the job I got a better job offer), and have enjoyed betting on horse races for years too – even though I know the risk and cruelty involved.
In the racing industry (speaking of Thoroughbred racing) horses are often ridden at 1 year of age, not hard, but just enough to get the feel of it, and are further trained and then raced as two year olds. Actually some of these "two year olds" are not actually two at all, but all thoroughbred horses north of the equator are given the arbitrary birth date of January 1.
As two year olds they are raced at full speed in sprints over a short distance. Sprinting (running at full speed) is harder on the legs in these young (not full grown) horses.
Note that warmblood horses as used for show jumping and dressage are not even ridden until they are 4 or 5 years old (allowing their legs to develop). By that time many thoroughbred race horses have already hurt their legs so bad they are removed from the track.
The Quarter Horse race circuit is particularly risky as these horses nearly always race short distances. That is what they were bred to do, but so many injuries occur in young horses that many are destroyed at a young age. The Quarter Horse race circuit is often criticized for using painkillers on horses then racing them anyhow, thus causing the horses to further injure themselves and not even know it.
Horses "break down" often, not always during races, often times this occurs during training. In North America the horses are in their stalls for most of the day (more than 22 hours) and as such their bone density is poor, another reason why they suffer so many problems.
The better valued horses are cared for more than the lower ranked ones, but even the top horses have been known to suffer life threatening injuries on the track.
Race horses are not pets, they are money making machines, the only reason their owners love them is because they make money from them or because they are status symbols. Many race horse owners could not even pick their horse out of a crowd of horses.

Pastor Joe Reeves - Associate/Youth Pastor
My wife Ruthie and I are glad to have arrived at Village where we will spend our 2nd year in marriage and many more to come. I've been in pastoral ministry for the past two and a half years ministering at Detroit Metro and South Lyon churches plus the recent Lakes Area plant. I left my home state of Washington in 2006 when I moved to Wisconsin to work as Bible worker and evangelist. After studying Theology and graduating from Southern Adventist University in 2011, I worked for Southern one year as Bible worker instructor and coordinator for SALT (Soul-winning and Leadership Training). So far, God's people in Michigan have been a greater blessing to me than I've been to them. I expect more good times at Village and am eager to see what God has in store for all.
At Village
I want to see the final verse of the Old Testmant fulfilled: "And He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to the fathers" (Malachi 4:6). Can you think of a better way to say, "we need each other," to both old and young? We need bridges. Let's pray and work for the involvment of all.

The Geography department at All Saints' Academy includes:
Head of Humanities Faculty: Mrs Tupper
Head of Geography: Mrs Sallis
Head of Sixth Form and Teacher of Geography: Mr Simcox
Teachers of Geography: Miss Lewis
Mrs Hunter-Miller
Miss Scott-Johnson
The Geography department at All Saints' Academy is an effective team of highly qualified, enthusiastic and dedicated teachers. We are proud to provide a curriculum that enables students to develop a wide range of geographical skills, from map reading and graphical analysis, to the use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS). Students are able to develop their literacy and numeracy skills through enquiry and investigative work, developing hypotheses and carrying out projects and investigations.
We pride ourselves on a culture of excellence and to the progress of each individual student.
What is Geography?
"There has never been a better or more important time to study Geography" – Royal Geographic Society. Geography is an important and relevant subject as it is often seen as the bridge between the sciences and arts, and can therefore be combined with a wide range of other subjects, including Languages, Mathematics, History and Business Studies. Geography is seen as a valuable subject by employers as it is a subject which helps develop a number of skills. Geography at All Saint's Academy is a popular subject, and the number of students choosing to study Geography at GCSE has increased further this year.
Key Stage 3
Throughout Key Stage 3 students undertake investigations and project work, as well as end of topic tests.
Year 7
In Year 7 students begin by studying 'What is Geography?' developing an overview of what Geography is and the world around them, this includes studying map skills. We then move onto the topic of 'Settlement' in Term 2, looking at why settlements change over time, as well as studying both the Burgess Model and Hoyt Model. In Term 3 Year 7 focus on 'Extreme Environments', it is during this topic that they explore a range of ecosystems including the Sahara Desert and Antarctica. Into Term 4 the topic progresses on to 'Weather and Climate' with a microclimate investigation around the Academy, students are encouraged to create their own hypothesis and produce a written piece of work on this. Term 5 sees the students explore the topic of 'Energy' which incorporates work on climate change; this unit again develops their map skills through choropleth mapping. Lastly, Term 6 brings together skills from throughout Year 7 to the final topic of 'Fantastic Places', students study a range of countries and cities and hone their skills that they have developed throughout the year.
Year 8
In Year 8 students begin the year by studying 'Natural Hazards', focusing on volcanoes, earthquakes and tsunamis. Students learn a range of case studies and explore the impacts of these hazards, why people choose to live in hazardous areas and also compare and contrast the differences of living in a high income country to a low income country. Term 2 sees students explore the topic of 'Crime'; this unit develops their GIS skills and gives them a better understanding of how crime affects an area. After this, Year 8 focus on Physical Geography and learn about 'Rivers', this gives them the foundational knowledge should they choose to take GCSE Geography. Students learn about features of the upper, middle and lower course of a river with a focus on the River Severn, they examine problems of flooding as well as flood management strategies. Into Term 4 they move on to 'Fragile Environments' further developing their understanding of Climate Change from Year 7 and looking at its impacts on coral reefs and the Arctic. Term 5 sees the students explore 'Population', studying population pyramids, the impact of ageing populations, migration and government policies. In the last term of Year 8 students study 'The Development Gap', they explore contrasts in development, the factors influencing a country's development, trade and aid.
GCSE Geography at All Saints' Academy follows the AQA syllabus. There are 3 exams that students sit in Year 11:
- Paper 1 - Living with the Physical Environment (worth 35% of GCSE)
- Paper 2 – Challenges in the Human Environment (worth 35% of GCSE)
- Paper 3 – Geographical Applications (worth 30% of GCSE)
Year 9
In Year 9 students begin with the study of 'The Challenge of Natural Hazards', learning about tectonic hazards, weather hazards and climate change. Students explore the Chile Earthquake of 2010 and the Nepal Earthquake of 2015, Hurricane Katrina (2005) and the Somerset Floods of 2014; this unit covers the first 2 terms of Year 9. In Terms 3 and 4 Year 9 move on to 'Physical Landscapes in the UK' which includes studying coasts. Year 9 learn about the diverse landscapes of the UK with an overview of the major upland and lowland areas, as well as case studies on coastal erosion and deposition and coastal management. Year 9 progress onto 'Urban Issues and Challenges' for Terms 5 and 6, it is in this unit that they look at the growing number of people living in urban areas, how urban growth in Rio de Janeiro creates both opportunities and challenges, a case study of urban change in the UK as well as sustainable urban living.
Year 10
Year 10 begin the year by returning to 'Physical Processes in the UK' where they study the rivers aspect of the topic. Students explore river processes and use the River Severn as a case study to learn about erosional and depositional features, as well as flooding and flood management. In Term 2 they look at 'Resource Management', learning about global demand for food increasing but that the supply can be insecure, and that different strategies are needed to increase food supply. Terms 3 and 4 see Year 11 study 'The Living World', focusing on ecosystems, Tropical Rainforests and Hot Deserts. Students examine the characteristics of each biome, economic and environmental impacts, challenges and opportunities as well as sustainability. The last topic that Year 10 study spans Terms 5 and 6, 'The Changing Economic World'. Students explore the global variation in economic development and quality of life, ways to reduce the development gap, a case study of a country that is experiencing rapid economic development as well as the major changes in the UK economy.
Whilst in Year 10 students undertake fieldwork for their Paper 3: Geographical Applications, worth 30% of their GCSE. This unit draws together the knowledge, understanding and skills from their studies throughout GCSE Geography. The fieldwork consists of 2 geographical enquiries where students undertake fieldwork away from the Academy ground to collect primary data.
Current Year 11
Our current Year 11 students have begun the year by learning 'The Challenge of Natural Hazards' learning about tectonic hazards, weather hazards and climate change. Students explore the Chile Earthquake of 2010 and the Nepal Earthquake of 2015, Hurricane Katrina (2005) and the Somerset Floods of 2014. They will then progress on to 'Resource Management', learning about global demand for food increasing but that the supply can be insecure, and that different strategies are needed to increase food supply. Term 4 sees our Year 11 students learning about 'The Changing Economic World'. Students explore the global variation in economic development and quality of life, ways to reduce the development gap, a case study of a country that is experiencing rapid economic development as well as the major changes in the UK economy.
Once they have covered all of the content for their GCSE exams by the end of Term 4, Year 11 will be revising all topics and completing the Paper 3 pre-release resource booklet.
Information about Paper 3 – the pre-release resource booklet:
12 weeks before the date of the Paper 3 exam students will receive a resource booklet by AQA for students to work through the resources so they become familiar with it before the exam. They will not be able to take a 'worked' resource booklet into the exam, but will be given a clean copy. This paper will consist of a series of questions leading to a more extended piece of writing.
Year 11 from 2018
As a department we have decided to alter the curriculum programme for future Year 11 students, details of this are given below:
From September 2018, Year 11 students will have covered all topics for their GCSE by the end of Year 10. This enables content to be revised and students' knowledge and understanding to be deepened throughout Year 11. 12 weeks before the date of the Paper 3 exam students will receive a resource booklet by AQA, this will be worked on in lessons.
A Level
Please see the A Level subject page for specific information:
Every Tuesday at the end of the normal Academy day there is an opportunity for students to attend a Geography revision and catch-up session. This is aimed at helping students achieve the highest possible grades in their GCSE.
Future Possibilities
Geographers enter a very wide range of career areas and put simply there is no such thing as a geography job, there are jobs that geographers do. Studying geography provides you with valuable skills and a firm base for life-long learning. Geography is great for any kind of career that involves the environment, planning, or collecting and interpreting data. Popular careers for people with geography qualifications include: town or transport planning, surveying, conservation, sustainability, waste and water management, environmental planning, tourism, and weather forecasting. The army, police, government, research organisations, law and business world also love the practical research skills that geographers develop.

For the first time in years, we have snow! SNOW! I know you all are thinking that snow is no big deal. But for us in the Pacific Northwest, we don't get it very often, so when we do… it's awesome! The kids are outside playing for most of the day, coming in long enough to get into dry clothes, eat a snack and then go out again and play some more.
Snow in the Pacific Northwest also means that everything comes to a screeching halt. Schools close (yeah), after school classes close, Tae Kwon Do shuts down and most people just hunker down at home. Which is exactly what we've been doing since it started 4 days ago. Note here, I'm never home for 4 days without a huge list of things to do and places to go. Never! It's given me time to play with my kids, do some craft projects and bake. Oh yeah. Bake up a storm!
I wanted to make another Valentine's Day cookie since we already gobbled up our other Valentine's Day Sugar Cookies and our White Chocolate M&M Cookie Bars. And how cute are these?!?!
They are easy and so much fun. I love how they turned out.
Unfortunately our pink and red look too much alike and don't have the contrast I was hoping for. But still fun.
Sue over at Munchkin Munchies is so amazing! How could I not make these adorable Valentine's Day cookies?!
- 2 cups butter
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 6 cups flour
- 3 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. salt
- Red and pink food coloring gel
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a stand mixer, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt and baking powder. Add to butter mixture.
- Divide the dough into 3 parts. Color one pink, one red and leave the other one.
- Roll out dough on a floured surface. Make sure all 3 colors are the same thickness.
- Cut scalloped circles out of each color.
- Using a small heart shaped cookie cutter, cut hearts out of the centers of each circle.
- Carefully fit a different colored heart into the centers of each circle.
- Bake on a parchment lined cookie sheet for 8 - 10 minutes.
- Cook on a cooling rack.
- Enjoy!
Aren't they perfect for Valentine's Day?

Ezekiel 41 New International Version (NIV)
41 Then the man brought me to the main hall and measured the jambs; the width of the jambs was six cubits[a] on each side.[b] 2 The entrance was ten cubits[c] wide, and the projecting walls on each side of it were five cubits[d] wide. He also measured the main hall; it was forty cubits long and twenty cubits wide.[e]
3 Then he went into the inner sanctuary and measured the jambs of the entrance; each was two cubits[f] wide. The entrance was six cubits wide, and the projecting walls on each side of it were seven cubits[g] wide. 4 And he measured the length of the inner sanctuary; it was twenty cubits, and its width was twenty cubits across the end of the main hall. He said to me, "This is the Most Holy Place."
5 Then he measured the wall of the temple; it was six cubits thick, and each side room around the temple was four cubits[h] wide. 6 The side rooms were on three levels, one above another, thirty on each level. There were ledges all around the wall of the temple to serve as supports for the side rooms, so that the supports were not inserted into the wall of the temple. 7 The side rooms all around the temple were wider at each successive level. The structure surrounding the temple was built in ascending stages, so that the rooms widened as one went upward. A stairway went up from the lowest floor to the top floor through the middle floor.
8 I saw that the temple had a raised base all around it, forming the foundation of the side rooms. It was the length of the rod, six long cubits. 9 The outer wall of the side rooms was five cubits thick. The open area between the side rooms of the temple 10 and the priests' rooms was twenty cubits wide all around the temple. 11 There were entrances to the side rooms from the open area, one on the north and another on the south; and the base adjoining the open area was five cubits wide all around.
12 The building facing the temple courtyard on the west side was seventy cubits[i] wide. The wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length was ninety cubits.[j]
13 Then he measured the temple; it was a hundred cubits[k] long, and the temple courtyard and the building with its walls were also a hundred cubits long. 14 The width of the temple courtyard on the east, including the front of the temple, was a hundred cubits.
15 Then he measured the length of the building facing the courtyard at the rear of the temple, including its galleries on each side; it was a hundred cubits.
The main hall, the inner sanctuary and the portico facing the court, 16 as well as the thresholds and the narrow windows and galleries around the three of them—everything beyond and including the threshold was covered with wood. The floor, the wall up to the windows, and the windows were covered. 17 In the space above the outside of the entrance to the inner sanctuary and on the walls at regular intervals all around the inner and outer sanctuary 18 were carved cherubim and palm trees. Palm trees alternated with cherubim. Each cherub had two faces: 19 the face of a human being toward the palm tree on one side and the face of a lion toward the palm tree on the other. They were carved all around the whole temple. 20 From the floor to the area above the entrance, cherubim and palm trees were carved on the wall of the main hall.
21 The main hall had a rectangular doorframe, and the one at the front of the Most Holy Place was similar. 22 There was a wooden altar three cubits[l] high and two cubits square[m]; its corners, its base[n] and its sides were of wood. The man said to me, "This is the table that is before the Lord." 23 Both the main hall and the Most Holy Place had double doors. 24 Each door had two leaves—two hinged leaves for each door. 25 And on the doors of the main hall were carved cherubim and palm trees like those carved on the walls, and there was a wooden overhang on the front of the portico. 26 On the sidewalls of the portico were narrow windows with palm trees carved on each side. The side rooms of the temple also had overhangs.

Ezekiel 42 New International Version (NIV)
The Rooms for the Priests
42 Then the man led me northward into the outer court and brought me to the rooms opposite the temple courtyard and opposite the outer wall on the north side. 2 The building whose door faced north was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide.[a] 3 Both in the section twenty cubits[b] from the inner court and in the section opposite the pavement of the outer court, gallery faced gallery at the three levels. 4 In front of the rooms was an inner passageway ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits[c] long.[d] Their doors were on the north. 5 Now the upper rooms were narrower, for the galleries took more space from them than from the rooms on the lower and middle floors of the building. 6 The rooms on the top floor had no pillars, as the courts had; so they were smaller in floor space than those on the lower and middle floors. 7 There was an outer wall parallel to the rooms and the outer court; it extended in front of the rooms for fifty cubits. 8 While the row of rooms on the side next to the outer court was fifty cubits long, the row on the side nearest the sanctuary was a hundred cubits long. 9 The lower rooms had an entrance on the east side as one enters them from the outer court.
10 On the south side[e] along the length of the wall of the outer court, adjoining the temple courtyard and opposite the outer wall, were rooms 11 with a passageway in front of them. These were like the rooms on the north; they had the same length and width, with similar exits and dimensions. Similar to the doorways on the north 12 were the doorways of the rooms on the south. There was a doorway at the beginning of the passageway that was parallel to the corresponding wall extending eastward, by which one enters the rooms.
13 Then he said to me, "The north and south rooms facing the temple courtyard are the priests' rooms, where the priests who approach the Lord will eat the most holy offerings. There they will put the most holy offerings—the grain offerings, the sin offerings[f] and the guilt offerings—for the place is holy. 14 Once the priests enter the holy precincts, they are not to go into the outer court until they leave behind the garments in which they minister, for these are holy. They are to put on other clothes before they go near the places that are for the people."
15 When he had finished measuring what was inside the temple area, he led me out by the east gate and measured the area all around: 16 He measured the east side with the measuring rod; it was five hundred cubits.[g][h] 17 He measured the north side; it was five hundred cubits[i] by the measuring rod. 18 He measured the south side; it was five hundred cubits by the measuring rod. 19 Then he turned to the west side and measured; it was five hundred cubits by the measuring rod. 20 So he measured the area on all four sides. It had a wall around it, five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits wide, to separate the holy from the common.

LTC aerials are is ideally designed and manufactured for years of reliable, robust performance.
With a history of performance, LTC aerials offer exceptional performance, reach and durability. The LTC mid-mount and TDA designs are particular stand-outs. Whether it's tip loads, overall strength, walkway design, maneuverability or reach, there are plenty of reasons to select an LTC ladder, platform, tiller or boom-ladder.
These aerial designs, formerly known as LTI, were purchased by Smeal Fire Apparatus in 2014. Since then, the company has updated the design for the 50′ and 65′ TeleSqurt,
Squrt and 55′ Snorkel as well as their TDA and 110′ Rearmount Ladder with new, advanced controls, new electrical systems and many other enhancements. The 110′ aerial ladder is the backbone of many fleets throughout the U.S. and the newest version is now available.
Departments with demanding aerial applications and high-run profiles tend to gravitate toward LTC aerials. Built to last for years of heavy use, these aerials offer strength, excellent work areas, compact design and lots of storage.
