New educational approaches include growth measures in an overall accountability system. Beyond measuring growth over time, educators need to know whether students are retaining the prerequisite knowledge necessary to successfully build to the next level.
An effective assessment strategy includes an ongoing measurement that shows you where students are on the learning continuum throughout their educational career.
Ascensus Growth provides this ongoing measurement via criterion- and norm-referenced computer-adaptive assessment in Reading, Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Rigorously created by our assessment development and psychometric experts, these exams deliver reliable scaled scores and statistically valid results that accurately map a student's position on the continuum. And results go beyond the standard and stand—test items are aligned down to the individual skill level for pinpoint accuracy.
Traditional assessments focus on standards for one grade level at a time, making it challenging to determine overall student placement or to focus on individual student needs.
With Ascensus Growth, students experience tests tailored to their proficiencies. The online test adjusts automatically to each student's ability level, so students are not frustrated by test items that are much too difficult or much too simple, leading to greater engagement, less time testing, and more time learning. Even better, our instructional resource partnerships connect results to individual learning paths you can really use to help students succeed.
Educators always want more teaching time—but also more, and better, information. Student always want fewer tests. Ascensus Growth helps you balance those needs with robust computer-adaptive tests for a variety of subjects that deliver several measures from a single test administration.
Given over time, Ascensus Growth tests provide a holistic, longitudinal view of student proficiency:
Scantron offers a shorter, 25-question version of Ascensus Growth. Faster testing, faster results, faster student impact. Contact your Scantron representative to discover whether PS Express is right for your testing needs.
With Ascensus Growth, students take individualized tests that automatically adjust to each student's ability level. Struggling students are supported with questions they can answer, reducing their frustration. High-achieving students are challenged with more difficult items, increasing their engagement. The result is a more accurate understanding of student knowledge across the classroom.
You get much more than a single score from Ascensus Growth. Teachers, committees, administrators, students, and parents all see results that help answer their questions.
Ascensus Growth offers extensive reporting so you can get the most out of your scores:

Emergency Preparedness
There is no time like the present to address emergency preparedness preparations. Earlier this year it was devastating fires that scorched millions of acres across the western states. This past week rains of biblical proportions flooded Colorado and New Mexico. The threat of more rain looms as favorable conditions in the Gulf of Mexico support the formation of a tropical storm or maybe even the first hurricane of 2013 to impact the continental U.S.
The severity of natural disasters continues to increase. Is it global warming or merely deviations in what is typically referred to as the natural cycle, aka seasonal averages? With the change of season come shorter days and the inevitable transition to cooler then down right colder temperatures. We know this is the order of things so why not make sure we are prepared for what is coming down the road.
The best emergency preparedness for difficult conditions is planning for "what ifs" including power outages, disabled vehicle, getting stranded when severe weather makes travel unsafe to move on. The Ready.gov web site is one of numerous resources that provide details of what an emergency kit should contain. No matter what checklist you refer to each and every one includes the importance of a reliable flashlight.
EcoCentricNow LLC via our appliedinnotech.com web site offers a variety of flashlights that are ideal for every kit including kits for the home, work or vehicle. Our rechargeable capacitor and battery lights provide illumination without the concern of running out of batteries. Our crank flashlights, Vortex and LightStorm SL1, provide bright illumination and can also be used to charge cell phones. In this day of staying in touch, it's comforting to know that your cell phone will be available even when the power grid is down.
September is Emergency Preparedness Month but the fact is every month is emergency preparedness month. Take the time to make sure you're ready for what Mother Nature may throw your way.

A new report shows that the health industry does not always observe necessary precautions when it comes to exposure to anesthetic gases or vapors that are released or leaked out during medical procedures.
Researchers from the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health looked at data from 2011, which included about 3,000 anesthesia care providers who had administered inhaled anesthesia within the past seven days.
Here is a look at the results. Despite the fact that 97% of participants always used machines equipped with a scavenging system designed to remove waste anesthetic gas… other participated in other practices that actually increased the exposure to the dangerous gases.
Among the findings:
- 35 percent of participants began anesthetic gas flow before applying a mask to a pediatric patient; 14 percent did so for adult patients.
- 19 percent said their facilities lacked safe anesthesia handling procedures.
- 18 percent had never received hazard awareness training.
- 5 percent did not routinely check equipment for leaks.
The study was published in the October issue of the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Hygiene.
For more information on the dangers of anesthetic gases and vapors, please check out OSHAcademy course 631-Hospital Hazards & Solutions: Surgical Suite.

"When I was well enough, I forced myself to go to school to try and do normal things. I was doing my GCSEs so I needed to do the work. I was quite focused, mainly for everyone else around me. If I could go to school, they would see that I was okay.
I was halfway through my GCSEs and tried to keep up with it as much as I could. Doing drama and music was quite difficult, though, as it's practical and there was no way for me to be involved if I wasn't in school.
My German teacher emailed me work to do when I was in hospital. But it was difficult being at the hospital school because it is very much focused on younger children. I could ask the teachers for help but they did not really know how to.
I ended up dropping one of my GCSEs because I missed too much to carry on. Then I took a year out after my exams because of all the side effects of my treatment. It had really worn me down.
I think my teachers should have been able to listen to what I wanted. There definitely could have been more support. When I finished chemotherapy and went back to school, I guess they didn't really want to approach me with work because I obviously wasn't very well.
They kind of skated around it and gave me the easy work, which, in the long-run, was really not helpful. They were trying to make it easier, but it didn't benefit me in terms of my overall education."

I am looking for help with tuition. I want to take some more classes to advance my career and provide for my family. Learning more and improving myself (and the circumstances of those around me) is a passion of mine.
If you are curious, or just want to make sure your dollar is being used for tuition, this is the link to the class I would like to get under my belt next: http://www.fedpubseminars.com/Government-Contracting/FAR-Workshop/
I'm think for tuition, travel expenses, hotel, and a couple of small meals should be about $2500. If you have a dollar to spare and would like to donate, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Testimonials and Case Studies from Our Parents
SchoolTutoring Academy has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was very self-conscious about her difficulties with the math section of the SAT. SchoolTutoring Academy's Academic Directors created an action plan that boosted my daughter's score and confidence level.
SchoolTutoring Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades. Test Prep Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades.
SchoolTutoring Academy Increased My SAT Score By 200 Points
My son's math marks in high school have always been weak so I found it very beneficial that his ACT tutor worked on solidifying his fundamentals while prepping for the ACT.
SchoolTutoring Academy gave my daughter the confidence she needed to boost her SAT score Thank you!
SchoolTutoring has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was able to improve her test scores after a few months of tutoring with SchoolTutoring. However, while raising test scores is great, the real payoff is in the self-confidence that she gained.
I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank-you! My son is very impressed with his tutor and looks forward to each session. What's particularly amazing about this is our son has never really looked forward to math or school for that matter!
We are so happy with the results of your tutoring program and academic support. Homework time was such a stressful evening for the entire evening before we brought your tutors into our home. Thank you for all your help!
Our daughter, a first grader, struggled with basic reading and handwriting. When she began with SchoolTutoring she was almost a year behind her class. Within a year of being enrolled, she is reading above her grade level and has the confidence to match.
Work with our Coxsackie tutors to help your student succeed! Contact our Academic Directors Today at 1-877-545-7737.

Chalk Talk: Career Options in the Criminal Justice Field
Choosing a career that is best suited to your talents and interests is important; however, there are some jobs that are more serious than others and require a good match. If you meet the following qualities, you may make an outstanding police officer or detective: good, moral character; physically fit; committed and dedicated; self-motivated; and observant and sensible. Because being a police officer, and eventually a detective, can be so dangerous, it is important that you receive the proper training and education. Most police departments require a high school diploma, work experience, and a passing grade on an acceptance test. Some departments, including federal agencies, require a college degree. All officers must continue with training and professional development throughout their careers. Becoming an investigator or detective requires police experience, and usually people earn these titles through promotion. Other jobs in this occupational field include security guards, private detectives, game and wildlife officers, health inspectors, firefighters, customs and immigration officials, correctional officers, and building inspectors.

text: Hi, My friend's Wii previously had the new 3.3 revision, and he wanted to make it region free. So I followed the downgrading guide, and after a ton of renaming files and waiting, I downgraded him to 3.2. I then put on StarFall and made it region free. Now he tells me that there's a video problem with his Wii and that he wants to send it to Nintendo to get it repaired or get a replacement. But he's really afraid of getting caught and I wasn't sure what advice to offer. Would downloading 3.4 fix what Starfall had put on? When I left, I removed Twilight Hack and the Homebrew Channel (albeit, I used the channel manager as the WAD manager can't remove HBC... and I'm hoping there aren't traces still), so there's virtually no sign by looking. One would have to actually test it out to see what I had done. Would installing 3.4 get rid of the custom IOS and all the stuff Starfall set? Or should I take my SD card back over and manually reinstall HBC, unpatch stuff in Starfall and then upgrade?

Captain James Cook by Rob Mundle EPUB
From sailor to legend - the story of Captain James Cook, one of the greatest maritime explorers of all time.
Over three remarkable voyages of discovery into the Pacific in the latter part of the 18th century, Cook unravelled the oldest mystery surrounding the existence of Terra Australis Incognita - the Great South Land. He became the first explorer to circumnavigate New Zealand and establish that it was two main islands; discover the Hawaiian Islands for the British Empire; and left an enduring legacy.
Rob Mundle introduces us to an unlikely sailor in a teenage Cook, who through the combination of hard-won skills as a seafarer, the talents of a self-taught navigator and surveyor, and an exceptional ability to lead and care for his men, climbed the ranks of the Royal Navy to achieve legendary status among all who sailed and mapped the world.

Profile – Gerry, Accrington – Service User Involvement
Service User Involvement: Give it a go, it can be great fun!
I moved into a flat in the Accrington Project in May 2007. One of the things which most impressed me was the way that is was stressed that this was my home and that I had a lot of choice in how it was decorated and furnished. I was soon to find out that these were not just platitudes being quoted but really were the way that things worked. Even before I moved in I was consulted as to the colours that I would like for the carpets, curtains, etc.
I soon became aware that the ethos of the project was that this was our, the service users' service and that Creative Support, as an organisation, positively encourages service user involvement at all levels. This includes being part of the interview panels, service user consultation groups, acting as lay assessors and arranging and chairing their own service user meetings. This is fine and there will always be people who enjoy being involved at this level. On the other hand many may not feel comfortable to take part in these more formal involvement activities; however I would like to say that from my experience the Creative Support team are excellent at providing support and encouragement for those who wish to get involved at this level. So if you are not sure, then have a word with your project staff and they will be able to explain things to you so that you may well feel more like getting involved.
At a more local level, I was surprised at how the staff at the Accrington Project really did believe in service user involvement and for at least a year before I moved in there were some good developments with service user meetings and involvement with interview panels and in the last eighteen months I have seen service user involvement move forward in leaps and bounds.
Service users from the project are now involved with several "Head Office" procedures such as interviews, service user consultation groups and lay assessment. More importantly the service users have started several initiatives of their own.
We have no garden or outside space but there is an area at the rear of the property, which incorporates a fire escape, where we could make a space for sitting out when the weather is nice. So as a group the service users decided to improve the area, with the help of staff, by pressure washing the area and painting the steel work which had become very rusty. We then clubbed together to buy some planters and hanging baskets, as well as compost and plants so that over the summer we have a lovely floral display in what had previously been a pretty depressing area. In recognition of what we had achieved, the project contributed by purchasing some folding chairs so that we can sit out when weather permits. At the end of last summer we moved most of the half hardy perennial plants indoors and we have already had a fine display of bulbs this spring.
We also put up a bird box and feeders and it has been interesting to watch a family of great tits feeding and raising their young. We kept the feeding going right through the winter and the birds have been daily visitors to the feeding station. We look forward to seeing their family expand once again and this spring they have been joined by a pair of chaffinches and one very greedy blackbird.
One concern we had, which by working together we have sorted out and so benefited us all, was dealing with problems with rubbish disposal. We had been waiting for almost a year for a new bin as the old one had no lid and so was being used by several neighbouring businesses to dispose of their rubbish on the cheap. At the same time we had increasing problems with fly tipping. The bin, which services seven flats, was filling up so quickly that we didn't have any room to put our own rubbish, so as a group we decided to make representations to the Refuse and Recycling Department of the local council. After all, we are residents of the borough and are entitled to just as high a quality of service as anyone else. Within 7 days we had got a brand new bin and the environmental health enforcement officers had visited all the local businesses and put an end to the fly tipping. We were so pleased with our success that we decided to try and get involved with the borough's recycling scheme. With some help from the support staff we have now been recycling for about 3 months and each fortnight we are able to recycle two sacks of waste paper and four sacks of plastic bottles. Of course, this means that we have a lot more room in the bin for rubbish which we cannot currently recycle.
Another initiative that we have just completed is to have our own little library on a couple of shelves in the communal area. We had discussed this idea at our Service User Meeting but did not have access to any funds so we decide to approach the local library and see if they could help. We went along with one of our support staff to verify that we were a genuine case. We talked to one of the managers and asked if we could have some books once they had taken them of the shelves to sell off to the general public. They were delighted to help and we acquired around fifty books to start off with and we can buy as many more books as we want for 5p each.
We also now run our own Service User Meetings, right from appointing a service user Chairperson and Secretary, deciding on the agenda, running the meeting and producing the minutes. We let the staff know which agenda items we would like them to contribute to and, of course, consult with the project management at all stages so that they are aware of what we are doing. We are off to Howe Top (Creative Support's holiday home in the Lake District) again this year. Last year we made the choices and the staff organised things for us, but this year we are trying to carry out as much of the planning and organising ourselves, knowing that the staff will be there if we need support with something.
This spring we have all been very busy as another project has now come under the responsibility of Creative Support and we have already involved them in our Service User Meetings and they have come with lots of ideas and activities which they have organised for themselves. So now, jointly, we are developing the gardening group and a group to help service users to enjoy walking, cinema, theatre, dining and sports activities. We are either organising these totally by ourselves or in some cases linking into facilities already available in the locality.
We have become very aware of the issues of diversity and equality as we do try to make sure that all the activities that we organise are open and accessible to all. This could include that the venues we use do not serve alcohol as that could be a problem for some people. When we went to Chester Zoo we arranged for scooters and wheelchairs to be available for those with limited mobility. Yes, there are difficulties, sometimes but with a bit of ingenuity and cooperation we have always managed to overcome them.
We have all benefitted from service user involvement and as one of our service users said, "It gives you something to get out of bed for!" So, don't sit back and wait for things to happen, get involved and help to make things happen.
Gerry is amazing! He organises service user meetings and activities; produces a regular newsletter for service users in East Lancs; helped develop a weekly gardening group; successfully applied for grants and raised thousands of pounds for gardening equipment and a summer house; participates in consultation meetings and committees; encourages and supports other service users to get involved; and is a member of Hyndburn Mental Health Accommodation Group and the Hyndburn Green Partnership Forum.
When Gerry first joined the project, he said that he likes to keep busy, something we can say he has definitely proved!

In the latter half of 2016, we had two exceptionally bright software development graduates from Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University join us for work experience for three weeks. Now in their third year, Jason Cross, 25, and Nicholas Jordan, 20, spent their holidays with the prototyping team to learn about the work we do here at Derivco. These two bright students spent their days developing and prototyping games. We interviewed them to find out what they thought of the experience.
So guys, what got you interested in software dev?
Jason: I previously studied 3D animation and visual design at Touchvision in Cape Town. In my 3rd and final year we had a subject where we did Python Scripting. This made me realise that I actually quite enjoy coding. I always wanted to take the path of game development, so I decided to move from design to software dev the following year. I've been doing game development ever since.
Nick: I started messing around with programming during 10th grade as the school I went to didn't offer IT as a subject. I started with a very basic website for the fun of it – just to see what I can achieve. I only started to delve deeper into the desktop application side of things during my Matric year, when I created a small windows command line program. This is when I decided to study software development. A few months into my first year of university, I converted the command line program into an easier to use desktop application for personal use. Since then, I have been constantly expanding my coding knowledge.
How did you get to be part of this three week experience?
Jason: Well, our lecturer put us in touch with one of the researchers at Derivco. We had entered the Microsoft Imagine Cup (a student technology competition) and we did really well, so our lecturer thought we'd enjoy spending time at the company.
Tell us more about the Imagine Cup!
Nick: We've made it to the world finals with our project called "Of Dragons and Sheep". It's a fast paced 3D sidescroller where the hero must save his sheep from vicious dragons. We're off to Seattle on the 24th July to compete in the finals. We're hugely excited!
Wow, sounds amazing! So, what sorts of things did you work on while you were here?
Jason: In our first week we were tasked with developing five new and unique concepts for Casino Feature games. We then had to prototype those as very rudimentary versions of the games. In our 2nd week we had to pick the three of the best concepts and refine them with more advanced features and an improved player experience.
Nick: In our 3rd and final week we took the single best concept and gave it some production value. This meant adding graphics and sound to it as well as developing it for PC as well as Android devices which required some cross platform compatibility to be done.
Sounds like you were kept busy! What did you enjoy the most about working here?
Jason: The feeling of working here is unlike anything we have seen or experienced before. The teams are all so close-knit and they work so well together. There is an amazingly laid-back and fun feeling to everything everyone does but there is still such a sense of dedication and disciplined work ethic. We also had an opportunity of a lifetime to play with the HTC Vive Virtual Reality headset. It is an amazing experience to be in this type of work space.
What most excites you the most about this field?
Nick: The instant gratification is something you can't get in any other field. Being able to sit down for two or three hours and work at something and see the result of your work straight away is an amazing feeling. The constantly evolving technology is also incredibly thrilling. Now, the department might be using PC and android for screen-based games. In five years it could be a complete virtual reality experience. It's amazing.
What are your goals for the future?
Jason: We'd both ideally like to work for a company like Derivco. To be part of a Video Game Development team within a company like Derivco is the dream.
What technology do you see shaping our future?
Nick: After going over to the research department and playing with some of their tech it definitely seems that Virtual Reality will be the future in some shape or form.

PM announces welfare schemes for expectant mothers, farmers, traders, and senior citizens
NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation here today on various issues including demonetisation's benefits and its impact on the society. In his 45 minutes speech, he spoke on the demonetisation, which he announced during his last address to the nation on November 8, with a view to curb the black money. While addressing the nation he said that, since Diwali, our nation has been witness to a "shudhi yagna" (rite of purification). He went on to say that, the 125 crore Indian showed the patience and discipline. Their patience and firmness will surely play a critical role in shaping the future of the nation for the years to come. He thanked the country for their support in his demonetisation move. He also said that his effort is to make the banking operation normal as so

Planning Package = A work breakdown structure component below the control account with known work content but without detailed schedule activities (see also control account; control account [Tool] = A management control point where scope, budget (resource plans), actual cost, and schedule are integrated and compared to earned value for performance measurement)
Work Package = A deliverable or project work component at the lowest level of each branch of the work breakdown structure.
All clear? I thought so. Let's try this…a planning package is created to describe or "hold" work that will be completed in the future. It is larger and more general than a work package in terms of time, scope, and budget. Although it lacks the detail of a work package, a planning package is still associated with specific project work scope. A planning package includes work that will be completed; it just hasn't been scheduled or put on anyone's plate yet.
A planning package may be converted to a work package when the lowest-level details of the work are defined, budgeted, and scheduled. Individual work packages are the building blocks of all project deliverables and form the basis by which the project is monitored, measured, and assessed. In sum, a planning package stores future work until the work can be broken down into specific tasks and assigned to actual resources, when it becomes part of the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) in the form of work breakdown packages.

Just came across this post, and I couldn't reblog it! It is so true! I remember when I first started to write, was about a love story, my first love story, when I was a kid. Even if I deleted it after I had finished it, I still remember the true feelings that were the base of the story, and how innocent and honest was… there fore I think that was one of my best stories that I wrote about – when I wrote about a true, honest feeling that I had! and to try to re-write it now, I don't think I could write it that good as I did back then!
"What is the issue that is eating you up? What is the personal fear that you can't resolve and you can't tolerate? Are you getting old with fucking NOTHING to show for it? Then, write Invisible Monsters. Are you worried that your brain or talent isn't capable of creating anything interesting or unique, and you'll die and rot and be forgotten – failing everyone you love? Well, then write Diary. My point is, use the story to explore and exhaust an issue of your own. Otherwise, you're just dicking around, playing "let's pretend." If you can be ruthless and honest about your own fear, you express something that other people can't express. You can resolve your own anxiety – through research, discussion, experiment – and that freedom is what brings you back to writing.
What could you never talk about in a million years? Then, write about that." – Chuck…

Kirkwood Community College – Equestrian Building Addition
Kirkwood Community College has an extremely successful equestrian program and the indoor riding corral is the focal point of much of the educational program. Therefore, the location of traditional classrooms with direct access to that corral is paramount. The addition to the building provides for 2 traditional classrooms with direct access to the main space to allow simultaneous teaching in both venues. In addition, more staff space was necessary to attend the classroom additions. The location is adjacent to one of the main entry doors to the corral and further allows for instruction for transferring animals on and off vehicles.
The building is a pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) addition with standard interior office and classroom finishes and equipment and is separated from the existing facility with fire-rated construction. The exterior is clad with metal panels matching the existing facility and the appearance is as if it was part of the original project.
Cost: $260,000
Date: Occupied Fall 2008

Dexter Recap: "Remains to Be Seen"Matt Richenthal at . Comments
Forget the body Dexter lost during this week's new episode.
Our favorite serial killer is mighty close to losing his mind.
While the overall plot wasn't advanced too much throughout "Remains to Be Seen," Dexter viewers got an idea of the crazy state of affairs that now comprises Dexter's life. A new baby. A new murderer in town. A Dark Passenger to feed.
Read a detailed episode recap now and let us know what you think will happen next.
As always, we've listed a few of the top Dexter quotes from the evening:
Harry: You're juggling family, work and a Dark Passenger that's always got one hand on the steering wheel. | permalink
Harry: You've got a family to support, and people to dismember. You're spinning too many plates, Dexter | permalink
Dexter: I already have a killer to clean up after: me. | permalink
Dexter: If they find Benny is my car, it's lethal injection time. | permalink

Some additonal information about this semester's courses can be found at the Arts and Sciences course descriptions page.
Each student must demonstrate reading proficiency in at least one of the following languages: ancient Greek, Latin, French, or German. Proficiency is demonstrated by passing a departmental language exam or by completing course work in the language of choice.
2070/31640 Ancient Philosophy: Presocratic Philosophy
Wildberg, Christian
Mo / 09:30 AM-11:55 AM / 00126 CL
Ever since Plato and especially Aristotle, the natural philosophers collectively known as 'the Pre-Socratics' have been viewed and understood as 'early', i.e. as precursors to a fully developed body of scientific investigation and teaching in the classical period. This seminar reads the Pre-Socratics instead as part of a larger contemporary culture in which knowledge of all types began to play an increasingly social and political role. It will combine the usefulness of a survey course with the excitement of close readings and interpretations of specific texts. We shall be concerned with such questions as the origins of western philosophy, orality and literacy, the transition from poetry to prose writing, the too facile distinction between mythos and logos, and the politics of knowledge acquisition and distribution. Our main textual basis will be the new Loeb edition of "Early Greek Philosophy".
2075/24705 Topics in Ancient Philosophy
Gelber, Jessica
Plato Republic
Thursday 11:00-1:30 PM – 1001 CL
Cross-listed with Classics 2390/24704
Our goal in this seminar will be to read and discuss Plato's Republic in its entirety. The whole book is (or at least professes to be) about The Big Moral Question: What is so great about being just? Plato's answer is far from direct or simple. To understand it, we have to wrestle with his views about human nature, how that nature is related to the nature of society, what knowledge is and what the objects of knowledge are like, the influence of art on our lives, and what happens after death. This is a research seminar.
2171/29998 Kantian Ethics
Rescher, Nichola
Tuesday 9:00-11:30 AM – G19-A CL
The objective of the Seminar is to furnish a comprehensive general overview of Kant's ethical thought and provide a grasp of his position on moral philosophy as a systematic whole. The object is to clarify Kant's moral doctrines, and elucidate his reasons for taking the position he does, with particular emphasis on Kant's theory of rational systematization as it bears on issues of value and teleology (i.e., Kant's theory of knowledge outside the specifically informative arena). Attention till also be devoted to Kant's specifically moral concern with the concepts of obligations, laws, will, practical reason, autonomy (or freedom), and virtue.
2210/29999 Wittgenstein
Ricketts, Thomas
Wednesday 1:00-3:30PM – 327 CL
Course description not available at this time.
2316/30001 Ethics and Public Life
Pallikkathayil, Japa
Wednesday 10:00-12:30PM – 341 CL
This course will examine various theories of personal identity (e.g. those of Parfit, Williams, and Korsgaard) and consider their implications for the rights' people have to their bodies. Attention will be given to the extent to which people have the right to issue advanced directives for future medical care.
2335/25905 Topics in Contemporary Philosophy:
Whiting, Jennifer
Writing Seminar
Monday 1:00-3:30 PM – 1001 CL
There is one problem with which most if not all contemporary philosophers must deal: publish or perish. (Sorry, I'm stuck with this course label.) This seminar, which is aimed at third and fourth year students, will focus on philosophical writing and the sorts of questions we all confront, whether we work in value theory, M&E, history, or more technical fields. For example, how much and what exactly can or should one assume of one audience? Should one really explain in advance what one plans to do, then do it, and then summarize what one has done? Or can suspense sometimes better engage the reader's interest or serve a pedagogical purpose? What is the best way to incorporate details without obscuring the main line of argument?
We shall explore such questions while also attending to problems that arise all too often, even in the work of professional philosophers, at other levels, from overall organization down to the construction of individual sentences. Each student will be expected to come to the seminar equipped with two things: (1) a writing-sample length (roughly 25 page) paper to be revised over the course of the term in response to feedback from the instructor and other participants; and (2) a published article (of approximately the same length) which the student thinks of as a model of first-rate philosophical writing. Each will be read closely and discussed with a view to assessing the effectiveness of the writing involved.
This seminar does not count towards your 12 courses but must nevertheless be taken for credit. For the seminar to work, the group must be small enough that the instructor and participants can give proper attention to each student's work. This is labor-intensive, and it is expected that everyone who signs up will do as conscientious a job reading others' work as they hope others will do reading their own. So regular attendance and participation are expected; and the quality of each student's feedback to others will be part of the basis for his or her grade.
Note: if the number of third and fourth years who sign up is small enough, others may be admitted on a case (to be made the student) by case basis. No auditors.
2400/30002 Metaphysics & Epistemology (core)
Gallow, J. Dmitri
Thursday 6:00-8:30 PM – 341 CL
This course will be an introduction to some central concepts and problems in contemporary epistemology and metaphysics. This is a core seminar, and thus listed as a "Background Seminar".
2421/30003 Topics in Philosophy of Language
Tirrell, Lynne
Tuesday 1:00-3:30PM – 341 CL
This is a course in language and politics, with an emphasis on understanding how discursive norms and practices shape individuals, society, even who lives and who dies. The 20th century was a period of notable genocides around the world: Armenians, the Holocaust, Holodomor (Ukrainians), Nanking, Cambodia, East Timor, Bosnia, Rwanda, Darfur, and more. The 21st century has seen a rise in what Rwandans call "divisionist ideology," with nationalism and xenophobia becoming increasingly common. Language alone does not create or enact genocide, but studying the role of changing discursive practices in a society that turns genocidal can teach us how everyday practices of speaking about ourselves and others might contribute to enabling the participation of ordinary people in a genocide. Analyses of speech and harm tend to focus on hate speech, examining how hurled epithets and casual uses of derogatory terms and slurs feed oppressive systems. While studying this literature, we'll also take a wider angle on the ways speech can be toxic and generate changes to ideology, practice, and action. We'll consider what sorts of remedies might be possible. The genocide of the Tutsi in Rwanda 1994 will be our core (but not exclusive) case. Philosophy of language readings will include Wittgenstein, Austin, Sellars, Lewis, and Brandom, some work on metaphor and euphemisms (Tirrell, Camp), plus work on derogatory terms and slurs (Jeshion, Swanson, Anderson, more), including my "Genocidal Language Games" and more recent work. In addition to survivor testimonies and articles about Rwanda, we'll read Victor Klemperer's The Language of the Third Reich, Jacques Semelin's Purify and Destroy, and Jason Stanley's How Propaganda Works. To end with hope, we'll seek constructive remedies to the harmful effects of toxic speech, including challenging (Brandom), blocking (Langton), inoculation (Tirrell, McGuire), and look for clues to moral repair (Walker).
Students will be responsible for regular short essays, maybe on a private class blog, each will lead a short kick-off discussion for at least one class, and there will be one long seminar paper due at the end.
2445/30004 Philosophy of Action
McDowell, John
Thursday 2:00-4:30PM – 341 CL
We will consider some basic questions about human agency. Readings will probably include G. E. M. Anscombe, Michael Thompson, Jennifer Hornsby, Sebastian Rödl.
2500/24656 Logic (Core)
Caie, Michael – 1001-D CL
Tuesday 4-6:30pm
This course introduces students to some of the fundamental results of set-theory, classical propositional logic and first-order logic. If time permits we may also look at some important results in modal logic.
2900/26245 Teaching Philosophy
Berry, Thomas
Friday 11AM-1:30 PM – 1001-D CL
A practicum to train first-time TAs about teaching philosophy. This course has been approved as an alternative to FACDEV 2200 for Philosophy graduate students.

Smile Beautifully With the help of a Cosmetic Dentist
Cosmetic dentists focus their care on your appearance and ensuring that you love the smile you're showing off to the world. There's an assortment of problems that can cause us to dislike our smile, and when those issues arise, the cosmetic dentistry newport news professionals are there to remedy the problem.
What Issues do Cosmetic Dentists Treat?
Cosmetic dentists perform a variety of services to treat any issues you have concerning the appearance of your mouth. Teeth whitening is one of the most popular services offered by a cosmetic dentist. The bleaching procedure removes tartar and plaque buildup, as well as discoloration caused by foods, drinks, smoking, and everyday environmental factors. But, this is only one of the many services you can schedule from the cosmetic dentist.
Additional services you can call upon the cosmetic dentist to remedy include:
- Tooth extractions
- Dentures
- Dental implants
- Partial plates
- Veneers
The goal of the cosmetic dentist is to make you feel confident in yourself and your smile, without any appearance issues holding you back. This is only a small list of services provided by the cosmetic dentist. It's safe to say that a cosmetic dentist can handle any minor or major problem affecting the appearance of your mouth, and if he cannot, he'll refer you to the specialist who can.
Should You Visit a Cosmetic Dentist?
Most insurance plans won't cover costs of cosmetic dentistry, since these issues do not affect your health. However, this isn't true for all plans, so check with your insurance company first. If you are unhappy with your mouth, it's quite amazing what a cosmetic dentist can do for you. With payment plans, credit cards, and financing options available to ease the costs, it's well worth scheduling an appointment so you can smile beautifully once more.

The Saturday Poem: A New Shirt
The Summer of Love
In the Shangri-La of San Francisco
they called it The Summer of Love,
tuning in and dropping out
to a soundtrack of spacey guitars.
Bookish, shy, and too young
for a droopy moustache and sideburns,
I was hothoused instead by Hayes
for the maths I was taking early,
but got a hint of something else
in Scott Mckenzie's anthem.
Against her better judgment,
my mother allowed me to pick a shirt.
– A bright yellow shocker
with a floppy, extravagant collar,
it didn't survive the first lesson
before they sent me home
to dream on at the back of the bus
of topless Haight-Ashbury girls,
whose painted bodies sway
to airborne waves of music.
David Cooke's collections include A Slow Blues: New and Selected Poems (High Windows Press) and recently After Hours (Cultured Llama Publishing)

Life aboard a cruise ship

There is something to do 24/7 aboard a luxury liner. Food is delicious and abundant. Because cruising is an international experience, the fare on the ship is an international experience. On the food bars and menus, cuisine from many countries is offered and prepared by some of the best chefs in the world. Whatever you have a taste for is probably available. You can dine casually in a relaxed atmosphere, eat hamburgers, hot dogs and pizza at poolside while listening to "hoedown" music, order in your stateroom, or dress up formal and be treated to fine dining in a stylish setting with a brass band to entertain while you enjoy a variety of delicately prepared dishes.
Cruising, among other things, is a musical experience. The ship resounds with music. Like the food, there is music to one's liking somewhere on the ship. Music and dancing to one's preference is on the decks, in the eateries, and in the private lounges. Music and dancing on deck under a full moon on the blue Caribbean will whisk one away into a fascinating flight of the imagination. My dad was a music teacher and a lover of music. Even though I never became a musician, music was a vital part of my growing up.
The rocking you feel may not be coming from the sea; it may be the music. You can frolic till you drop; crash in your stateroom for some zzz's and then start all over again.
Games such as shuffleboard, tennis, basketball, and volleyball are popular and there is a fitness center. In addition, swimming and lolling in one of several pools or spas is a favorite recreation for all. There are video games and playrooms for the youngsters. If one is feeling lucky, he/she might check into the casino. There is TV for you to stay abreast of goings on in the world or watch your favorite program. Big TV maps are provided for passengers to watch the cruise progress, how far you have traveled and precisely where you are located at any given time.
The Westerdam was built in the Netherlands; it has a passenger capacity of approximately 2000 with 817 crewmembers. Gross Tonnage: 82,348. Length: 936 feet. Beam: 105.8 feet (the Titanic beam width was 94 feet). Maximum speed: 24 knots. Available for your comfort are four major types of staterooms: Interior, ocean view, verandah, and suite--whatever is your pleasure.
A 2000-seat lavish theater with a magnificent stage provides music and entertainment by professional musicians and actors every night. There are early shows, late shows, and special shows throughout the cruise.
Some people have a fear of being seasick. However, in a ship the size of the Westerdam, unless the sea is unusually rough, movement over the sea is barely noticeable. B. J. and I like our stateroom to be as nearly mid-ship as possible. Movement is less obvious there.
B. J. likes to shop aboard ship. Again, since cruising is a worldwide encounter, people from all over the world are your fellow passengers. The shops offer quality merchandise from around the world. There is jewelry (they will fashion jewelry to your liking), clothes, luggage, books (the ship has a full-service library and a reading room with an ocean view), souvenirs, art, ad infinitum.
The promenade deck circles the liner from stem to stern. Four times around the deck is a mile. People walk, jog, saunter, chat and get acquainted, and just plain loaf on the promenade deck. The comfortable and inviting deck lounging chairs invite passengers to sleep, read or just kick back, and enjoy the view.
A favorite time on the promenade deck is at night under a full moon. It is generally believed by many that a Caribbean cruise under a full moon is the most romantic affair in the world. Add to the magic night, easy listening music and the "Caribbean Rapture" sets in. Lovers stroll arm in arm. The golden moonbeams shimmering on the sapphire sea like millions of tiny dancing fairies, entices you into the fantasyland of your dreams.
B. J. and I love the shore excursions. We book one for every port of call. Mostly we take an island tour, check out the intriguing shops, take oodles of pictures and, even though our meals on the ship are paid for, we like to sample the native cooking. Sometimes native bands welcome cruisers to the islands with exciting indigenous music.
Cruising is fun. Everything is minutely and elegantly compounded for your interest and enjoyment. Great cruises are designed to remove life from the ordinary and place it in the extraordinary. B. J. and I recommend it. In November, we will do our tenth cruise and it probably will not be the last.

One of the most important aspects of photography is timing. Sometimes a great photo can take hours of patience, and at other times, a great photo can happen almost by accident. In either case, the timing of the shot is often what separates an ordinary picture from something truly stunning. Check out these examples to see what I mean.
1. Trapped in a bubble.
2. A metamorphosis.
3. Santa's reindeer looks a little different...
4. Caught snacking.
5. Mighty Mouse!
6. A "ghost ship" peeks out of the San Francisco fog.
7. Hey man, owls get married too.
8. View of Times Square.
9. Dragonfly: Reality vs Tattoo.
10. Supermoon seen in Dubai.
11. A truly fiery beauty.
12. What a flock.
14. Uh oh...
15. That's quite a sail.
16. This cloud looks like a dragon.
17. Now that's timing!

Some users seem to be having problems connecting their iPhones to their Macs or car audio systems, while some have complained that the Bluetooth audio stutters and comes out garbled after upgrading to iOS 10. One of our readers has reported a strange issue where the Music app shuffles the songs rather than playing from the last location after connecting to a Bluetooth device. iOS 10 Bluetooth Issues!!
Once the first iPhone shipments arrived in customers hands, an inkling of vehicle Bluetooth connectivity issues started to arise. Users were saying they weren't getting the same experience as their previous devices, and even their previous iOS versions.
Apple has shown initiative to release quick fixes and handle issues plaguing users, as evidenced by the the iOS 10.1 beta and the release of iOS 10.0.2. Why this specific issue hasn't been resolved yet, is the question. During iOS 10's beta, Bluetooth issues were frequently noted under the Known Issues section, but looked to have eventually been resolved. It appears Apple may have more work on its hands until this is fully fixed.
iOS 10 Bluetooth Issues
Bluetooth makes life easy and you can share files on your iDevice with your friend freely, or just connect to your Car to answer phones and play songs. However, after iOS 10 upgrade, Bluetooth can be a pain if your iPhone/iPad not working well: Bluetooth won't connect to iPhone/Car, Bluetooth connection drops, or Bluetooth won't turn on on iPhone or iPad.
Method 1. Check and make sure Bluetooth is turn on.
Method 2. Confirm your iDevice and Bluetooth accessory are close to each other.
Method 3. Turn off Bluetooth and restart your iPhone, iPad.
Method 4. Pair the iDevice or car you connect again: Settings > Bluetooth > Choose the device you are having issues with > Tap on the info button next to the device > Tap on Forget This Device.
Solution #1: Turning off the Bluetooth and Rebooting
One of the simplest things you can do is to simply turn off the Bluetooth, and then turn off your iPhone. It may either be a total shutdown or just a plain reboot. Whichever you choose to do, most of the time, the solution really does work.
Solution #2: Repairing the Bluetooth Connection
If the above solutions haven't worked out, then might as well get to repair the connection. To do this, go to Settings, then Bluetooth, and then select the "i". Then tap on Forget This Device. What will happen next is that it will reconnect and then viola, there you have it.
Solution #3: Resetting the Network Settings
If ever the problem still persists, then the best thing that you can do is to reset your own network. Go to Wi-Fi settings, disconnect from your internet connection, and then reconnect. Go to Bluetooth and then find your device.
Solution #4: Go to an Apple Store
But if ever the above solutions still haven't solved your problems, then the smartest thing to do is to just go to the nearest Apple Store. After all, the tech staff at the Apple Store are always equipped with the latest fixes for the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus' issues.
Try connecting to the device now. If the problem still isn't solved, try the next solution.
If you find out that the problem lies with your iPhone or iPad running iOS 10, here are a few solutions you could try:
Turn off Bluetooth and Reboot
The first thing to try is to turn off your Bluetooth and restart your iPhone or iPad:
- Turn off Bluetooth from Control Center, or by going to Settings > Bluetooth and turning off the switch.
- Reboot your iPhone by holding the Home button and the Power button until you see the Apple logo
- Now enable Bluetooth again from Control Center or Settings > Bluetooth

Acro Agro or…
Shetland's Paddyfield Colony?
see here for a seemingly different bird at the same site, earlier this month:
Found yesterday by intrepid Rory T (also of Burrafirth Syke's fame), poor views and a less than striking example of the species, has caused considerable consternation. Mike Penno sent me a few pics last night which suggested to my eyes at least something better than Reed-maybe Blythe's Reed.
A few seconds on an Angelica stem, in full view, today gave Robbie Brookes an opportunity to get the photos below. Here its looks more clearly like a 1st winter Paddyfield. But its easy for me to say!! Observers will simply not have had the kind of views we can enjoy in these photos.
This is good example whereby identification in the field is, in reality a lot harder than appreciated from the luxury of a laptop. Anyone can be an expert when it comes to 'internet identification'!
In the photos, the bird does show clearly short wings (looks like 6 primary tips), warm toned uppers, rufous wash to rump and especially big (too big for any Reed) flaring super. The reason it looks a little less convincing – the greyish wash of super behind eye makes it less striking, dark lores and supraloral (dark line above supercilium) rather weak looking. The dark centred, contrasty tertials take the possibility of Blythe's Reed out of the frame. Observers struggled with the tail not looking long enough in the field for typical Paddyfield. Greyish iris is some pics and fresh plumage (only slightly worn) plumage suggest first winter – though not always easy.
Despite reams that have been written about plain acros (acrocephalus warblers = sharp or pointy-headed warbler), especially the vagrants, can be very tricksy. Confirmation of the identification of this bird has proved awkward since it was found.
Big well done (and little envy!) to the guys who stuck with the process.

Then I heard Nintendo was planning on releasing it but considering it's now 2 years since it came out, what are the chances that Nintendo will want to release this game?

Interview: JOHN COBBETT – Hammers of Misfortune
"Barriers to Entry"
July 14, 2016 – T. Ray Verteramo
Old punks never change their spikes.
For John Cobbett, founder and engineer of Hammers of Misfortune, though he's grown some strange and beautiful fruit with his art over the years from Gwar to Unholy Cadaver to Hammers, his roots still hold deep. "I love being a fan," he said. "Being a fan is so much more fun than being a musician. You've got to hold onto that part of yourself or else you're done for."
He said, "If you lose the fan in you, you're never going to write compelling music. You have to be excited…you have to have that little kid enthusiasm or you're going to sound like you're phoning it in."
Hammers of Misfortune was born in the midst of the Grunge and Skater era, flexing its muscles all over the Metal gym, from Old School to Thrash to Prog to Folk to basically whatever the cooks decide to fry up in the kitchen. With this, the fans have learned to expect the unexpected. But, this was more for himself than anything. Cobbett understands that art needs to be egocentric to distinguish itself from product, so why set unnecessary limits? "I wanted a band that I can be interested in for a long time," he explained. "And I wanted it to be something where I could do pretty much anything that I wanted – a sandbox, a creative vehicle where I could use choirs and harmony and counterpoint and keyboards and anything I wanted so, basically that's what it is."
"Interestingly for 'Dead Revolution'," the title track off their latest dish set to be released later this month on Metal Blade records, "I was listening to the title track from the Scorpion's Blackout album. And I was like, 'Man, I'd like to write a song like that.' It's such a killer song. I thought, 'Wouldn't it be fun to write a song with just pure energy, just kick ass.' And that turned into 'Dead Revolution.' In fact, the working title for that album was Whiteout…because it was a pun on Blackout."
Dead Revolution touts to feature even greater versatility, which for a band like Hammers of Misfortune who is already all over the map, seems outlandish. But, his response to this was quite rational. "The way that people talk about versatility these days doesn't make any sense to me because it doesn't take much to be versatile in today's climate where you have – look at the average Metal album; you have 10 versions of the same song. People want really specific 'purity' on their album, where they're like, 'This is a 40-minute slab of orthodox Black Metal'."
But, then he added, "Which I love that. I love that kind of shit and I listen to that kind of shit all the time. But, that's how records are marketed these days. You have one kind of album and it's very strict within those boundaries."
It would be easy to presume that establishing your brand as unsafe would be safe. But, there are two sides to that coin. "Safe is a double-edge sword," he said. "Because 'safe' creatively, we've disappointed so many people already that I'm not worried about disappointing people."
"Back in the day, the artist would do anything for their fans and the fans responded by really supporting the artist. That's all gone. Bands now just do whatever they can, whenever they can, and then they go to work."
And yes, work, meaning day jobs, which is an all-too familiar story, even for those who are playing arenas. Though technology certainly has its benefits, Cobbett sees the benefits do not outweigh the costs – one of which, the ability to make a living. "Google has monetized our energy as fans without telling us, without our permission," he began. "My whole neighborhood [San Francisco] has been taken over by people who work for Facebook, Google, Apple, Twitter, Dropbox, Snapchat…This is really the poster child for rabid gentrification. And I've had these people tell me to my face, 'This is the future of music, adapt or quit.' And these are people who have been in the music business before and ended up in tech."
"If I was against anything right now," Cobbett said, "and point out where the tyranny is coming from, the conformity and the hegemony is coming from, it's coming from the tech sector."
Socially, as well. "There's a lot of bullying online that's like, 'If you don't accept this band, you're closed-minded.' Okay, then I better accept it before someone accuses me of being Hitler. People feel there should be no barrier to entry and everyone should be accepted. Any scene that doesn't have a barrier to entry is not a scene that's worth being in."
Not trying to sound like the old man in the rocking chair, he explains, "The barrier to entry is important. That's how you know that the people give a fuck about the scene they're in. So, the barrier to entry – and this is coming from me being in the Punk scene in the 80's and in the Metal scene – the only barrier to entry was that you had to love the music and know about it. You had to be at the show. You had to be a part of it. You had to be able to get out the door and participate. And we got a lot of good people that way. These weren't 'keyboard warriors,' these were people out on the street, willing to get beaten up by rednecks."
"I love this music and playing this music gives me a great deal of joy. It's art and I want to make a piece of art and I don't care if it sounds tacky or pretentious. It's, 'Fuck you, man. Don't like and subscribe'."

The primary profit of buying wholesale hair wigs is definitely evident. Wholesale refers to giant consignments or bulk order positioned. What the legislation states of provide and in addition requirement describes like offers. Elevated commerce stabilizes prices components, which normally attests being optimistic concerning consumers and sellers. Mass buys cut back overhead prices as a result of they consignments will be despatched and packaged collectively. This sort of cuts down on bills, like individual packaging in addition to transport to have the ability to a number of locales which are associated to listing purchases. Wholesale wigs are normally thought-about, inexpensive when put next with particular person wigs
Individuals might not have an awesome dependence on wholesale hair wigs, like a single high quality wig could also be used with regard to an prolonged timeframe. Theatrical teams, movie and tv corporations and efficiency teams require wholesale wigs. This sort of institutions might select to purchase wholesale wigs or rent these from distinct fancy gown renting. In the end, outright purchase concerning wholesale hair wigs could possibly be worthwhile with regard to such teams as an alternative of losing on recurring renting. Market developments advocate that wholesale wigs which is likely to be ordered on-line, find yourself being less expensive as in comparison with neighborhood store offers. It's because this sort of shops carry upon your self minimal overhead bills and so are most revered to move upon these sorts of rewards to customers.
Wholesale hair wigs can be found coming from neighborhood retailers and in addition on-line. When selecting, potential prospects may select from obtainable types or choose to position particular order positioned. You will need to search for a most revered producer, as a result of the requirement of wholesale hair wigs could also be sudden. Many occasions, you could verify the actual suppliers standing, product top quality in addition to value ranges.
It's because if a wholesale consignment doesn't attain on time, the purpose is conquered and in addition lowered costs hold merely no value. That's most likely not possible to check every wig inside a consignment when they're acquired. It's fully potential that a number of merchandise normally should not up so as to the standard and will have defective stretchy rings and characterize inappropriate time-span. Due to this, it is very important perceive return tips and in addition ensures forward of finalizing a suggestion.


text: I just got a translucent blue DSL case from DX, it had pretty solid reviews. The problem I am having with it is getting the case's top screen to fit together properly even when it's just the two halves of the topscreen shell by itself, with no components in it. 1. It won't sit flush like the original case did ( makes me fear opening and closing it will wear out it's plastic hinge) 2. The screwholes won't align at all, no matter how hard I try to force it. With such high ratings on deal extreme I bought this case expecting it to fit the best without any real hassle. So, what do I do? Until then I got my DS phat but still DS Lite is night and day better then the phat due to the lighting. Thanks in advance.
