Reliance on Carnegie Unit Limits Student Learning
To the Editor:
The study referenced in the article "Credit Hours Are Still Useful Measures for Schools, Study Concludes" (Feb. 4, 2015) is misleading and counterproductive to the search for a new model for education that does not rely on the century-old Carnegie unit, or credit hour, especially regarding competency-based learning. This study is tantamount to giving the foxes cover to continue to raid the chicken coops.
To be fair, the article clearly cites other views in addition to the study referenced in the headline. But the headline suggests that continuing in a system based on time has merit. This is a dangerous take-away that would be laughable if not for the reality of the harm the archaic devotion to an out-of-date measure for education does to the progress and success of the country's students.
The article quotes Noelle Ellerson of AASA, the School Superintendents Association, as saying that "the system continues to rely on [the Carnegie unit] because, in large part, the Carnegie unit is the system."
But, as most people already know, the Carnegie unit was not initially intended to measure student learning and did not gain widespread adoption until it was tied to retirement pensions for university professors. One of the study's authors is quoted in the article as saying that the Carnegie unit is "a strong administrative tool for the system," and that "it's one of the few guarantees, if not the only one we have in American education, that all students have the most basic resource: time to learn."
Hogwash! Making time the constant and learning the variable cheats our students by putting them on a steadily moving conveyer belt that ensures widely varying results in student performance and learning.
The time-based Carnegie unit is the problem with our education system. It is an outdated measure that is structured to provide conveniences to adults, not to ensure student learning.

I'm currently in the midst of a 20 hour sleep study. I slept here last night in a windowless room tethered to the wall by a mess of cords (super helpful to my reoccurring nigh terrors of being trapped in a small space). Today's game is letting me lay down to sleep every two hours but then waking me up as soon as I do. A CIA "enhanced interrogation technique," if I'm not mistaken.
In between I've got some time to kill so I just finished my wedding thank you notes and I'm feeling pretty good about that. (#productivity)
Now it's all about the new John Irving novel Christopher surprised me with because he knew I was dreading this whole sleep study thing. (#FeelingLoved)

There isn't a sewing component to this trip so I'm not talking my machine or my serger or the stool to hold it up or my mannequin or the iron and pressing surface or.... or... or... and yet the bags seem to be piling up. Two are for knitting. One is for my current project and one is for the yarn for what's next. There will be lots of time to knit so I may actually make it past my current project and on to another one. The ball above - less than an 1" - is all that's left of the blue bamboo yarn.
For this shawl-like scarf, I started at the point with five stitches and added one stitch each end on every row until I basically ran out of yarn. The edging is a row of single crochet and then a row of picot edging. It's a nice finish.
My friend's scarf - the one I was sort of copying - is 19" x 73". Mine is 19" high and about ten inches narrower. She used a garter stitch and I used a combination of stockinette and lace. Mine is a wider stitch pattern so I got to nineteen inches quicker and it's not as wide although it did work out well since I wouldn't have had the yarn to go larger.
I haven't tucked all the ends in yet in these pictures but the ones above and below give you an idea of how it can be wrapped around the neck. And of course there are other variations.
Earlier this week, I mentioned that I've been getting messages to rest and to focus on self development and self care. One of the ways that I afford trips and workshops is through our income tax return which is higher if I have a home-based business and qualify for deductions.
Giving that some thought, I've decided to knit scraves and other simple pieces to sell. I like the portability of knitting, that it can be moved around or taken out of the house and I like to knit in the evening and I like that knitting is not sewing. I do not want to sew for a business. SO... I'll be designating a set amount of time each week-day toward "the knitting business" and ensuring that while it is a real, viable, and deduction earning business, it is also not taking over my life.
The scarf I'm working on now starts from the wide end. I cast on 401 stitches and then rapidly decreased fifty stitches from each end and am now decreasing one stitch each end of every row. This time, I am using garter stitch so I should end up with a long and narrow shawl-like scarf more like my friend's. This is an easy knitting project, perfect for taking along on my trip.
I am in love with these shoes. They are my idea of frosting shoes and yet not all that unpractical with my wardrobe. One of the stores downtown carries Fluevogs and I've been in love with that heel ever since I first saw it. A girl can dream - VBG.

Java today is one of the most sought programming languages by the developer, programmer all over the world. Java platform is being used for development of all kind of rich applications in phone, tablets, desktop, speakers & other IT enabled software. Thus demand for Java developers has increased in the market & everybody is jumping on the bandwagon to secure the job of Java developer. So if you are also in the race & are going to face a technical Java interview questions during recruitment but don't know where to look for the basic Java interview questions then complete ready reckoner guide is here for you.
Java is a platform independent & object oriented programming language called OOPS. This language was discovered by Mr. James Gosling of Sun Microsystems in early 1991.
2. What is class & define abstract class in Java?
In simple Java terms class refer to a group of similar objects with the same attributes (data structure) and behavior (function). Java consists of different types of classes such as abstract class, interface class etc. Abstract class is a differential implemented class means some portion of this class can be fully implemented during execution while other portion can not be fully implemented.
3.What is the difference between an interface & abstract class in Java?
An abstract class has no direct instances in the system & consists methods inside the code strings while such feature is absent in the interface class.
4.Explain some of the basic features of Java.
Here you can explain many features of Java such as:
5. Explain difference between a queue & stack
The basic difference between queue and stack is that queue works on FIFO concept that is first in first out rule while the stack works on LIFO concept means last in first out rule.
6. What do you mean by Java packaging
Java packaging helps in neat & concise filing of different classes into the respective directories thus making it easier for the user to categorise the data properly. So if you are dealing with various modules & want to organize your files into proper classes without much hassle, then java packaging is the apt solution for you.
Besides these basic Java interview questions you will be asked to write some basic programs in Java language explaining different command used in each steps by the interviewer. The interviewer may also give you some already written program & you have to find the error present in any steps of the given program stating the reason of errors present with proper logics. So just brush up your Java fundamentals from any resources available to you & practice some programs execution & running on computer to master the language & sale through the Java interview questions easily.

The answer to: 6. What do you mean by Java packaging Sorry, this is nonsense.. The packaging is used to group related classifiers together. It does NOT categorise the classifiers. This is a common mistake by unexperienced programmers.It leads to unreusable code. Regards

I Missed My Traffic Ticket Court Date!
By : Lindsay Reese | Category : Uncategorized | No Comments
17th Feb 2014
What Will Happen if I Miss My Traffic Ticket Court Date?
In this day and age, many people have very busy lives. Getting a traffic ticket is an inconvenience. It is very easy to forget your traffic ticket. Unfortunately, missing a court date for a traffic ticket can have serious consequences.
Driver's License Suspension
Missing a court date for a traffic ticket can result in the suspension of your driver's license. Most jurisdictions, including the City of Atlanta Municipal Court, Dekalb County Recorder's Court, and Gwinnett County Recorder's court, will suspend your driver's license for failure to show up at an assigned court date. You are not required to receive any notice that your license will be suspended and you may be driving, unknowingly, on a suspended license.
Bench Warrant
You can also be arrested for missing a court date on a traffic ticket. When a defendant (which is what you are when you receive a traffic ticket) fails to appear at a court date, the court will issue a bench warrant. A bench warrant not only gives a police officer permission to arrest you, but requires him or her to do so. If you are pulled over and there is an active bench warrant for your arrest because of a failure to appear, the officer must arrest you.
Increased Fines
Finally, missing a court date can lead to increased fines. Many courts charge a "failure to appear fee." This fee can vary in each court and can sometimes be several hundred dollars. This failure to appear fee is in addition to any fines that may be assessed due to your traffic ticket.
What Should I do if I Have Already Missed My Traffic Ticket Court Date?
Fortunately, in many instances these scenarios can be avoided. If you have missed a court date on your traffic ticket it is important that you contact an attorney right away. The sooner you are able to resolve your failure to appear the easier it will be to minimize the penalties.
If you have missed your court date and need to talk to an attorney, call Lindsay Reese at 678-296-0590. Lindsay has successfully resolved failures to appear in almost every metro-Atlanta jurisdiction including: City of Atlanta Municipal Court, Dekalb County Recorder's Court, Gwinnett County Recorder's Court, City of Alpharetta, City of Milton, City of Doraville, City of Roswell, City of Duluth and City of John's Creek.

My dear readers,
I am writing this letter to you by the dim light of the iPhone because I care/forgot about you. Don't worry about it.
I have so much to tell you, diary! I moved 600ish miles on Monday to start a new life and my head is still spinning. Can you believe it? Little old me deciding that I want something and going for it. Or whatever. I don't know. It's a lot to process.
So I'm taking this week off. The last time I took a week off people freaked out and I just want to remind you, I don't get paid to do this so I actually don't care. At least this time I'm trying to break it to you gently.
Good luck to you in your week. Hope it goes great.
Respectfully yours,
How to: Skip a Week
My dear readers,

Will Maintenance: After Your Will Is Written
Once you've made a will, don't put it away and forget about it. Review the document from time to time to make sure that changes in your life will not affect the terms of your will.
What You Should Know
You may need to modify your will if:
- You marry, divorce, separate from your spouse, remarry, or are widowed.
- Any of your beneficiaries die.
- There are any additions to your family or the families of your heirs.
- Your executor dies or moves to a different state.
- You move to a different state. Your will should conform to the laws of the state in which you have your legal home.
- You think changes in federal or state laws might affect your will.
- Your assets increase or diminish. If you want to give a specific amount of money to a beneficiary, you must be sure that there will be enough money to cover the bequest. To avoid coming up short, you may want to calculate any bequests as percentages of your total estate.
- You change your mind about any of your beneficiaries.
Storing Your Will
Let someone know where you are keeping your original will. If the original can't be found after you die, the court may decide that you destroyed it. Do not put the original copy of your will in a safe deposit box. Some states require that a safe deposit box be sealed at the renter's death. You should keep a copy of your will in the safe deposit box, however.

Wesley Snipes is known worldwide as a famous Hollywood actor. In addition he's a skilled and accomplished martial artist and a successful film producer, producing blockbusters he also starred in ( most famously the "Blade" trilogy) and acquiring a net worth of more than $ 50 million.

Birth Place - Orlando, Florida, United States
Nationality - American
Height - 5′ 9″
Profession - Martial Artist, Film producer, Actor, Dancer, Singer, Businessperson
His full name is Wesley Trent Snipes the son of an aircraft engineer and a teacher's assistant. He was born on the 31st of July the year 1962 in Orlando, Florida but grew up in the Bronx in NYC moving to Orlando and back two times and thus interrupting his Art studies. He did not however neglect his martial arts training, earning a 5 dan black belt in Shotokan karate and a 2 dan black belt in Hapki-do. He was discovered at the age of 23 by an agent during a competition performance thus fueling the start of his acting career which begun with a part in Goldie Hawn's football comedy film "Wildcats".
He then appeared in an episode of hit TV series "Miami Vice" as well as a Michael Jackson video clip and continued his career with great success playing parts in at least twenty movies in the next ten years under famous directors getting established as an action star (Critical Condition, Major League, Passenger 57 etc) but also having a broader repertoir with him starring in Spike Lee's interracial romance drama "Jungle Fever" and various other productions.
By 1996 Wesley Snipes net worth went high with him earning $ 7 million and $5.5 million for "The Fan" and "Money Train" respectively but his bigger break came when he got picked to star in the Marvel Comics' based movie "Blade". After a one and a half year delay the film got released in 1998 and was both Snipes' and Marvel's first box office netting $ 70 million in the US and about $ 61 million worldwide.
The actor had the insight to additionally produce the film which seriously increased Wesley Snipes net worth despite legal disagreements with New Line Cinema which finally was settled out of court for quite a large amount. The film was such a success that brought Snipes even more on the spotlight and ended up from a single movie to a trilogy. It was for that time period though that the famous actor would find himself in trouble in the future.
After the "Blade" the now iconic Wesley Snipes starred in a plethora of action movies like "The Art of War", "ZigZag", "Undisputed", "Unstoppable" and the remaining parts of the "Blade" trilogy; "Blade II" and "Blade: Trinity" which he co-produced once again establishing an enormous net worth, netting from "Trinity" alone $ 13 million. Snipes then put his fortune to use founding along with his brothers an exclusive security company for stars and high figures comprising of martial artists and former soldiers which had quite a successful run before his legal troubles with the federal government begun.
On the 12th of October of the year 2006, the "Blade" star along with two of his closest associates were charged with a number of financial crimes among which was conspiracy to defraud the United States, making false claim for payment against the state as well as failure to file timely tax returns, false tax refunds and general tax evasion.
Specifically Wesley had failed to to file tax returns for 5 consecutive years from 1999-2004. In addition he had filed three false "bills of exchange" to the IRS to in attempt to cover his tax evading actions. He was eventually found guilty of willfully failing to file income tax returns and sentenced to 6 years in jail which he server from April of 2008 to April of 2013.
In conclusion Wesley Trent Snipes net-worth is estimated at $50 million with the actor being an A lister for at least 10 consecutive years, producing smash hits, his signature "Blade" trilogy, joining other ventures as well as still getting royalties from every rerun of his works in television.

Anaheim, CA (March 2016) – Bruxie has announced that it will be opening its 8th and 9th locations, in April 2016 at The Park in Las Vegas and in May 2016 at Horton Plaza Park in San Diego, respectively. Bruxie Chefs and Co-Founders, Dean Simon and Kelly Mullarney, have created and built a brand around a unique spin on an authentic Belgian waffle. With their menu of Bruxie Waffle Sandwiches, they've broken the traditional waffle mold by spreading it beyond the breakfast category and making it appealing and accessible for lunch, dinner and dessert.
First to open this year will be Bruxie Las Vegas at The Park, an eclectic blend of casual restaurants,bars and entertainment tucked into rich desert landscaping on Las Vegas Blvd. The Park will become a central gathering place on The Strip's west side connecting New York-New York and Monte Carlo resorts, as well as the new 20,000-seat world-class T-Mobile Arena. Set to open April 4, 2016, the 110-seat Bruxie location will join Shake Shack, Sake Rok, Beerhaus and California Pizza Kitchen in the new open-air dining and entertainment district.
Quickly following Bruxie's Las Vegas Strip debut will be the restaurant's second San Diego location at the new Horton Plaza Park, adjacent to Westfield Horton Plaza in downtown San Diego. Set to open May 16, 2016, a 65-seat Bruxie Horton Plaza will be housed in one of three food pavilions located within the 53,000-square-foot re-landscaped park, which also holds a new, modern amphitheater.
"Shortly after opening our first location more than 5 years ago, we realized that Bruxie struck a cord with foodies, who craved a menu of bold, flavorful combinations made with quality ingredients," commented Dean Simon, Bruxie Co-Founder. "With our recent opening on the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica and our next opening on the Las Vegas Strip, we're entering the culinary scene in two of the most food-centric cities in the country, we are confident that our concept will continue to grow with the same following that has earned us a great social media fanbase, incredible
Yelp reviews, and national media attention. We know we have something truly noteworthy with our next-generation sandwich and are focused on expanding our brand."
Co-Founders Simon and Mullarney first opened Bruxie in Orange County in November 2010 to present a new take on The Sandwich, using a proprietary version of an authentic Belgian Waffle to offer a light, airy, crispy alternative to the traditional sandwich bread. They hand-selected each ingredient to ensure the most premium quality possible and crafted each sandwich to deliver bold flavors with seasonal produce to complement the texture and flavors of the waffles. Bruxie offers savory options such as Buttermilk Fried Chicken, Prosciutto & Gruyere, and Hot Pastrami, as well as a variety of sweet choices such as the Seasonal Crème Brulee, Nutella & Banana, and S'Mores.
In addition to its impressive waffle sandwich menu, Bruxie offers a selection of inspired, fresh, flavorful salads, locally produced old-fashioned cane sugar sodas, real Wisconsin frozen custard, shakes, sundaes, and floats. Bruxie proudly serves The Bold Blend, its own custom crafted coffee made from a proprietary blend of 100% fair-trade imported beans.
Bruxie currently has the following locations:
Southern California
Orange – Old Towne
Brea – Downtown at Birch Street Promenade
Chino Hills – The Shoppes at Chino Hills
Huntington Beach – The Strand on 5th
Irvine – Heritage Plaza Center
San Diego – SDSU
San Diego – Horton Plaza (opening May 2016)
Santa Monica – 3rd Street Promenade
Las Vegas – The Park (opening April 2016)

Using Solr pagination (cursors)
Search pagination, also called cursors, supports using a cursor to scan deep result sets. Solr pagination restrictions apply.
- The default pagination for search uses start and rows parameters in CQL search.
- Appropriate only for paging through deep result sets, search pagination with cursors is the transparent use of Solr cursors through CQL native protocol.
You can use search pagination with CQL Solr queries and the Solr HTTP API.
Enabling cursors with CQL Solr queries
- To turn pagination on only when the driver uses pagination with a CQL Solr query, set cql_solr_query_paging: driver in the dse.yaml file.
- To dynamically enable pagination for queries, use the paging:driver parameter in CQL and JSON queries.
- Set cql_solr_query_paging: off in the dse.yaml file.
See the driver documentation.Constraints when using Solr pagination (cursors)
These constraints apply to using a cursorMark parameter in a Solr request:
- CursorMark and start are mutually exclusive parameters.
Specify requests with a value of 0 or do not include a start parameter.
- Sort clauses are not mandatory, however if a sort clause is not provided, sorting is
If you specify a sort clause, it must include a uniqueKey field, like
For example, if
idis the uniqueKey field, then sort parameters like
id ascand
name asc, id descare valid, while
name ascby itself is not valid.
SELECT * from ks.cf where solr_query='{"q":"*:*", "sort":"id asc, id2 asc"}'
SELECT * from ks.cf where solr_query='{"q":"*:*"}'
Using cursors with the HTTP API
To use cursors with the Solr HTTP API, it is not mandatory to provide a sort clause. However, if a sort clause is not provided, sorting is undefined. Do not make assumptions on sorting. Follow the steps in Using CQL Solr queries.

CMST COST Action CM1001
Chemistry of non-enzymatic protein modification - modulation of protein structure and function
The complexity of human life arises from some twenty thousand genes, and results due to alternative splicing mechanism in approx. 100000 proteins. By posttranslational modifications these proteins are converted into an array of some 1.5 million different functional entities. Interestingly, this conversion can either be enzymatically controlled and regulated, or may have an apparently random aspect due to non-enzymatic reactions. Proteins undergo a wide array of non-enzymatic post-translational modifications. Such modifications of proteins are often determined by their environments, their structural features and by a number of protecting structures, and also by free radicals generated in their vicinity. Non-enzymatic protein modifications are, therefore, not random, but occur in a non-regulated manner and depend largely on the protein and its environment.

Passion is a Brian DePalma film about the increasing rivalry between two women that ultimately leads to murder. Brian DePalma is known for masterpieces like Carrie, Sisters, and Dressed to Kill. He has had obvious success, but has also had some uninspired attempts in his career as well. This one, unfortunately, lies in the latter group.
There were some things right off the bat that I liked. We have Christine, played by Rachel McAdams, with white blonde hair and dressed in sophisticated light-colored clothing, and Isabelle, her assistant, with dark hair and wearing all black; an obvious distinction between the two and an attention to detail that I can appreciate. McAdams looks like a modern day Grace Kelly with great styling and costume design. The two women are working on a marketing project together with an underlying oozing sexual-tension between the two.
Isabelle is climbing the career ladder with Christine by her side. Christine takes her under her wing, giving her stylish gifts, introduces her to the right people, and pushing her towards success. She seems like the perfect boss until she takes credit for Isabelle's work. But then again, you can't feel too sorry for Isabelle when she is sleeping with Christine's boyfriend.
This is when the film starts dwindling in value. They both are backstabbers and go back and forth using and manipulating one another. It's like a grown-up Mean Girls, but with better shoes and without the humor. Christine is a seducer and puppet-master, always getting what she wants and when she wants. But Isabelle is secretive and has a dark side of her own. Their contention finally rises to a head that ultimately leads to murder. The murder scene is extremely disappointing with terrible special effects. This scene is shown as a split screen between the murder and a ballet performance. There is no point to this, other than the ballet being beautiful (of which I am partial to since I grew up dancing). DePalma is capable, and has been successful, of better work. The kill scenes in Dressed to Kill are a thousand times more frightening.
There is some going back and forth with who the real murderer is, or even if there was a murder, since many scenes are followed by one of the characters continually waking up in bed in a cold sweat, as if everything was a dream. I think the lesson here is that no favor is done with a kind heart. The classic film noir style is appealing but it isn't enough with a slap-shot screenplay. The buildup is premature and the ending is inconclusive. I can enjoy a mystery ending but there are too many loose ends. Brian DePalma's tale of obsession and deception proves to be a fruitless attempt with such unlikable characters. What a shame. Watch Single White Female instead.

The science instruments on the spacecraft varied from flight to flight, but included cameras, surface samplers and soil analyzers. In all, the Surveyors returned nearly 88,000 high-resolution pictures of the Moon's surface and performed the first soil analysis. Surveyor 3, which touched down in the Ocean of Storms, brought a new robotic tool, the "scratcher arm," into use on the Moon. Apollo 12 astronauts Pete Conrad and Alan Bean landed just 156 meters (512 feet) away from Surveyor 3 in November 1969. They removed the arm and other parts of the spacecraft so that scientists could study their condition after 2.5 years of exposure to the space environment.
A full-size engineering model of the Surveyor robotic lunar spacecraft is shown on the beach near Los Angeles, Calif. Seven Surveyors were launched toward the Moon between 1966 and 1968 to make soft landings as precursors to the Apollo astronaut missions. The successful missions and landing dates are: Surveyor 1 on June 2, 1966; Surveyor 3 on April 19, 1967; Surveyor 5 on September 10, 1967; Surveyor 6 on November 9, 1967; and Surveyor 7 on January 9, 1968.

This panoramic view of Tycho crater was acquired by the Surveyor 7 spacecraft. Surveyor 7 was launched on January 7, 1968. The spacecraft landed on the lunar surface January 10, 1968, on the outer rim of the Tycho crater. Operations of the spacecraft began shortly after the soft landing. (Courtesy NASA/JPL)
Surveyor 3 Visited by Apollo 12 Astronauts

Surveyor 3 landed on the moon on April 20, 1967 at 2.94° south latitude, 23.34° west longitude in the southeastern part of Oceanus Procellarum. Equipment on board included a television camera and auxiliary mirrors, a soil mechanics surface sampler, strain gauges on the spacecraft landing legs, and numerous engineering sensors. Two-and-a-half years later, Apollo 12 astronauts Pete Conrad and Alan Bean landed 156 meters (512 feet) away from Surveyor 3 and removed parts of the spacecraft for analysis back on Earth.

Amber Rose & Blac Chyna's Steamy Kiss To Support Gay Marriage At BET Awards — Pic
Hot damn! Not only did Amber Rose and Blac Chyna look amazing in their matching outfits at the BET Awards, but they heated things up even more by sharing a steamy kiss on the red carpet!
Two of the Kardashians' biggest enemies made quite the statement at the BET Awards on June 28! In support of the legalization of gay marriage, besties Amber Rose, 31, and Blac Chyna, 27, walked the show's red carpet hand-in-hand in matching ensembles…and even went in for a kiss. So sweet!
"We decided to come together and celebrate that in all 50 states, gays and lesbians can get married," Amber explained on the red carpet, referring to, of course, the Supreme Court's decision on June 26. "So we wanted to come together and show the community that we support them."
The ladies totally sizzled in their all-white outfits, which showed off some MAJOR cleavage. For the event, the gals wore high-waisted pants with tight crop tops covered by matching blazers. They both also added sunglasses to their look, giving a bit of a bad-a** vibe to the white theme.
But don't look too much into their PDA — although she walked the carpet with Blac, Amber also spent time with her new man, Machine Gun Kelly, at the show, and they seem to be happier than ever! HollywoodLife.com even caught up with the rapper, and he couldn't stop gushing about his girl.
"She's real, she's amazing and she's down to Earth," he told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. "She's an all-around good girl. We click. I need a real woman, who's on some rider s—, and that's her. I'm not with all that celebrity, pretentious s—. She's real. She's my type of girl."
The couple have been linked since May, and the new relationship seems to finally be what it's taken for Amber to move on from her ex, Wiz Khalifa! Up until she started dating MGK, Amber admittedly considered getting back together with Wiz on multiple occasions, despite previously alleging he cheated on her. Looks like she doesn't have to worry about making that decision anymore!
HollywoodLifers, tell us: What did you think of Amber and Blac's red carpet kiss?

Principiis Obsta…Finem Respice
Resist the Beginning…Consider the End
Our board has illuminated 2 areas of school district function- emergency preparedness and carbon offsets- and taken some steps to better the situation. Just letters mind you but I love a good letter- so civilised and yet so entirely ignorable (not necessarily a word). However, short of pulling up with a well motivated angry mob behind us where else can we start? It is good news when boards speak out at all about anything that matters.
Let's see…
Nothing is easy and the road is never straight.
In April 2010 which seems a very long time ago because it is, a motion was brought to our school board table which sought to establish a price tag for the costs of keeping our schools prepared for calamity particularly earthquake. Rather than leave the responsibility for paying for emergency resources and preparation to our families through PAC fundraising efforts as it now is, the motion was intended to insist the provincial government absorb the costs.
There was sound reasoning behind this besides acknowledging the sheer absurdity of asking our families to pay for something which is certainly the responsibility of government. We as a board must guarantee our kids and employees in all schools in the district have the same high quality means to meet the misfortunes we hope will not arrive. Since some school communities are more blessed with wealth than others, it is clear some of our children will be safer and better cared for than others will be in the event of a disaster like an earthquake.
It took a bit of nannying. However, thanks to staff and tenacious trustees, we have finally posted a letter to the ministry. The letter explains rather poetically in the event of earthquake we must be at the ready to care for over 8000 students for 'an extended period of time' particularly in light of the high incidence of seismic activity in this area of the world including a recent 6.4 magnitude event.
In this letter, we also make clear our PACS have dutifully soldiered on providing emergency kits and other supplies as best they can. However, this is an ongoing burden and some of these supplies need replenishing regularly. The district has estimated it will cost $160,000 to bring all our sites up to acceptable standards of preparedness with an additional $20,000 a year to replace food and water stores. In this time of rapidly dwindling public education funds, we cannot redirect money for our classrooms to this worthy enterprise – and no responsible person wants to choose between day to day learning needs and vigilance for all our kids and employees if the worst happens.
Our letter is spot on and we anxiously await the minister's response. Any guesses?? Until otherwise informed, I will continue to believe the government will grasp the merit of this request. It is in the direct interests of equal access to services and safety and a modest sum to help ensure the well being of our kids and the staff in our schools.
Of course we need to be thinking about this for our homes and the CVRD has an excellent publication you can download at this link or pick up at their offices next to the post office in Duncan.
Next letter from our board…
Since the spring, Trustees across our province have been aware of an interesting extension of becoming signatory to the Climate Action Revenue Incentive Charter. One previously unexplained development of this commitment to carbon neutrality is the requirement for school boards to buy offsets at the rate of $25 per tonne for any green house gas (GHG) emissions we produce above zero levels.
These charges are turned over to the Pacific Carbon Trust which is owned by our provincial government under the responsibility of the Minister of Finance. For reasons left unexplained, private emitters of GHG do not have to purchase these offsets.
In this district, we have thus far submitted over $111,000 to PCT despite our best efforts to meet our obligations for reducing our carbon footprint. Of course, we might be able to do a better job of managing our emissions if we had the funding to improve our facilities and our methods. Instead, we pay a fine to a body which is a government owned corporation.
Interestingly school districts like ours receive no recognition for our considerable contribution to the carbon well being of our communities by virtue of our large and effective school bussing system.
Now if this money – remember it comes out of the revenue we receive from our provincial government to operate our schools -went into a pool meant to ensure the improvements for our buildings which might raise their environmental soundness we could almost nod in agreement but it does not. In fact, some of this extracted cash is handed off to private companies – the outstanding example is EnCana- one of North America's largest natural gas producers whose initiatives towards reducing their own GHG emissions are subsidised by the money appropriated from school districts.Therefore, a highly profitable company which should do its own due diligence in reducing its environmental impact is doing so with the help of school districts, hospitals and other public sector outfits.
The BCSTA has asked to have this money dedicated to our efforts to achieve the goal of reducing our carbon footprint and the Cowichan board passed a supporting motion which states:
"The Board of Education SD # 79 calls on the provincial government to return all funds currently being appropriated from school districts in BC to purchase carbon credits to support upgrades in our facilities in order to raise their environmental integrity and immediately sends a letter to this effect to the Ministry of Education as well as all school districts."
Our board has forwarded a letter expressing this sentiment to the Minister as well as all school districts to make our contribution to this discussion and perhaps to a fair and rationale outcome.
Though it is now the norm to pull money out of public needs and hand them off to private interests there is a considerable chorus of resentment across this province. Obviously highly profitable companies like EnCana can raise their own 'environmental integrity' without the help of cash strapped public education and health care systems.
If our blessed government is so keen to organise a whip round for its corporate buddies they could just hand them the money directly through tax cuts and credits as per usual without resort to the more unusual and time consuming method of laundering those funds through our school district books.

The opening scene of the first chapter of the novel 'Brave New World' is set at the "Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre", a sterile factory which produces human beings and prepares them for their future roles in the World State. "Community, Identity, Stability" is the World State's motto. I bet if the fictional people in this novel had bothered to ask what that was all about they would have gotten the same power point cha cha we have received within the hallowed halls of public education regarding '21st Century Learning.'
I suppose the whizkids who dreamt this up said unto themselves over panini's – "We will create a cultish program which can be recognised as mysteriously similar to practices already in play, give it all a silly name calculated to intimidate people by sounding terribly modern so no one will want to look like a reactionary and then use it to further cut the crap out of the schools".
And so they did.
I really think they dropped the ball on the name – so lacking in pizzazz as it is. Maybe the Treasury Board Underdepartment for Linguistic Bafflement has had its tiny budget cut and they can't perform as required. How about the 'Farbstein Initiative'? Or 'Operation Awesome Toupee'? Or the 'German Railway Project'? How about we just call whatever this is the 'Kipling Files'?
For entirely legitimate reasons, this has created some worry since no one from our educational leaders right down to the shop floor seems to have a clue what it all means. Even to this day, the premise remains largely undefined and certainly, we have no real idea what the government intends practically speaking. Of course, if they are holding to type there is no good news here. Trustees, teachers and parents have asked, as specifically as they can the questions which should have led to careful explanations but to little avail.
Evidently, the ministry has consulted widely with the school community but no one in Cowichan appears to have been asked for an opinion. But in the real world how can you ask anyone their views on something about which you have provided no details?
Still I am reliably informed though we do not have any clear idea what is being expected of our districts and our schools in light of this new model, we are now in fact situated in Year One of its implementation here in Cowichan. Even at this meeting, there was a grim sense of black comedy at this revelation. Year One of something which resembles something else no one has any idea about but we are already doing it anyway so not to worry. I am worried and my guess is so are you.
Still amid the swirl, we find some hints apart from some coy yet alarming language. The BC School Superintendents Association (BCSSA) staged a conference last fall in Victoria which as always included carefully chosen principals, trustees, teachers and students entitled 'Personalised Learning for the 21st Century: From Vision to Action.'
I am sure the discussion was wide ranging but the speakers welcomed to direct the central session of the conference figure prominently in something called the Innovation Unit from the UK. The aims of this organisation focus on pioneering methods to provide public services at reduced costs. While most of us are not tilted towards opposing 'innovation' we could be forgiven for wondering exactly what this means when it comes to our schools.
Since the ideologues in our midst have refused to supply direct talk on the intention of this new wave of education, it falls to anyone with a laptop and some spare time to define some of the lingo they have substituted for plain language and authentic conversation. Nature hates a vacuum though clearly nature doesn't have a house full of cats.
So here goes…
"Teacher Excellence"- A condition which can only be achieved by decertifying the union and stripping said teachers of every charter right they have. That'll beat the excellence into 'em…
"Power Of Informal Learning"- Kids do much better in the absence of confining and old fashioned concepts of schooling like teachers, resources, buildings.
"Lifelong Learning Journey"- You will be made redundant so many times your head will spin so you must have a back up plan and a hairnet.
"Performance Culture" – Ratting out your family and colleagues for not measuring up to a unilateral standard no thinking person could agree with if they actually knew what it was.
"Personalised Learning" – You are on your own, Skippy!
"Opportunities For Education" – Assuming your only goal is to plan your own high levels of exploitation.
"Open Data"- Access to material not normally considered useful or informative.
"Accelerating Technological Change"- Making private firms who market incomprehensible software and endlessly out of date hardware as rich as Croesus.
"Holistic Transformation"- Transforming our schools into holes.
"Hands On Learning" -Here is a stick – now go play in the mud.
"Flexibility"- Being able to bend over far enough to hold your ankles.
"Consultation" – Giving the peasants a chance to vent after the authorities have already made the decisions.
There are things far more important to address besides putting a fresh false face on our approaches to educating our kids.
We need 21st Century Poverty Eradication; 21st Century Democracy; 21st Century Labour/Management Relations; 21st Century Full Cost Accounting and we need those now and far more than some Houdini exercise in sleight of hand to keep us sweet while our schools shrivel away.
When I was a kid I knew despite my fervent hopes, we would not have flying cars by the 21st century but I would never have guessed our fearless leaders would be wasting our time trying to cheat us out of the public education system our forbearers envisioned and fought for.
There is every reason to sit as citizens and craft better learning environments. Our children and the people who teach them deserve the best. However, these days the only element up for debate in the public realm is a conversation about cutting costs. The needs of our schools are not relevant in this discourse.
When it comes to 21st Century Learning, the only relevant goal is brainwashing us into believing our hopes and dreams are unrealistic and the grown up solutions can be found in finding ways to provide our kids with an education which will not disturb the fiscal priorities of commerce.
It is not 'brave'; it is not 'new'.
It is an empty hostile gesture indifferent to our kids and their well being.
Your Trustee Pal
These two links will put you in touch with some of the power point patter.
If some of this does not keep you awake in a cold sweat I will be surprised.
I welcome your analysis.

Those who love and enjoy clicking a precious moment need an exclusive camera. LG G7 with its dashing colors and camera quality will offer you the best quality of camera of your desire. According to an Investor, the G7 camera has a better control on light and focus and it captures the videos and photos which won't require much editing with its wide angle lens, higher resolution than LG G6. In addition to this, LG G7 will let you capture moment and record video simultaneously.
The LG G6 has a block with two cameras: the first with a standard focal length, the second with a wide-angle camera. Such a bunch of cameras migrated from the previous model. So, the camera on the left is 13 MP, the wide angle is 125 degrees, the aperture is f = 2.4. The camera on the right is 13 MP, 71 degrees, the aperture is f = 1.8. Both modules are Sony IMX258. The main lens can boast of optical stabilization and phase autofocus. Now you can get the higher megapixel camera offering a detailed and clear picture, fashionable laser focus, and optical stabilization just like a professional camera with the upcoming LG G7. Whether videography and photography are your hobby or profession, possessing a superior quality camera is necessary and all these will be fulfilled with this stylish flagship LG G7 likely to be launch in January 2018. It is expected that the upcoming champ LG G7 will be blessed with a 13MP front camera and 21MP Dual lens back camera. Dolby Vision and HDR 10 will be retained in G7 as well.
Now about the drawbacks of the G6 main camera, unfortunately, there is no fashionable laser focus in the LG G6. The front camera has a 5-megapixel sensor, a lens with a viewing angle of 100 °, an aperture of f / 2.2 and a fixed focus but there is no own flash. The quality of the photo is excellent. Precise white balance, correct color transfer, and little noise. Separately, I want to talk about the camera with a wide-angle lens. At the beginning of the test, I had little idea of the situations in which it could be applied, but in the end, I used the "width" more often. Running children, landscapes, congestions, buildings and other scenes are much better than when shooting on a standard module. The only drawback is that in the dark the quality of the images on the wide-angle lens is significantly reduced. Hope, all these drawbacks of LG G6 camera could be resolved with the release of a modish camera of LG G7.
The starting price of LG G6 has a 5.6" IPS LCD screen and 1440 x 2880 pixels in India is Rs.36000. According to some tittle-tattle, the next beast of LG, the LG G7, will hit the market next year with its 5.8" bendable display having 4K OLED screen covering up to 90% Screen to body ratio. The expected price of LG G7 is 932.173USD.

Supporting Student Success
Whether the end goal is achieving a degree or certificate or moving on to further education, it takes commitment and persistence to reach the finish line.
As colleges grapple with retaining students and keeping them on track to completion, they need to know where to invest their time and resources for the greatest positive impact on their students.
College readiness gaps present a significant barrier to degree completion.
According to Complete College America, 50% of first-year students at two-year colleges and 21% of first-year students at four-year colleges require remediation.*
And only 35% of first-time college students who receive remediation go on to receive a degree within six years.**
Our groundbreaking work with institutions propels students forward to degree completion by closing the college readiness gap at an accelerated pace.
*Complete College America, Remediation: Higher Education'sBridge to Nowhere; National Student Clearinghouse, Signature Report #6.
**Complete College America, Time is the Enemy. September 2011.
Course redesign is the process of completely rethinking the way we deliver instruction, in order to achieve better learning outcomes, such as:
- Improving student retention and pass rates
- Reducing cost-per-student expenses
- Maintaining positive student attitudes
- Driving student completion
Pearson provides the experience, expertise, resources, and partnerships to redesign and improve courses:
- As a member of the National Center for Academic Transformation (NCAT) Corporate Associates Program since 2004, we have partnered with institutions nationwide to improve learning outcomes.
- Our discipline-specific workshops feature both NCAT staff and NCAT redesign scholars.
- We develop and disseminate research highlighting the impact of successful redesign initiatives.
Pearson is partnering with institutions to assess and develop the 21st-century skills and competencies learners need for long-term success in college and careers. These include the ability to:
- Think critically
- Communicate effectively
- Engage appropriately with others
- Be self-reliant
Our effective learning frameworks develop metacognitive skills, as well as personal and social capabilities for learners entering college, pursuing an advanced degree, or training for a particular career.
As part of an ongoing project funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Lumina Foundation, the Center for Community College Student Engagement (CCCSE) has identified 13 promising practices in community colleges that have been demonstrated through research to contribute to student success.
At Pearson, we're committed to measuring our performance in improving people's lives through learning. We applaud the CCCSE for highlighting through their research how scalable, replicable practices can positively impact the outcomes of the learning process.
We're partnering with educators and institutions across America to identify and scale high-impact practices that have been proven to contribute to student success like those identified by the CCCSE.
From improving assessment and placement to creating a supportive first-year experience to academic and career planning that propels students toward their goals, we're working with institutions to tackle the complex problems of improving student success, persistence, and completion.To learn more, select a student success focus area:

A bit of thought that hit my wetware. Learning a programming language really is like learning a spoken language. I'm working on a bit of code that someone else wrote, and unfortunately, it sucks. To be honest, it sucks alot. My brain ran off on a bit of a tangent and started thinking about code styles and design and optimization and readability. The problem is, most people when they code are at the cut and paste level. I want to print out Foo on the screen, so I'll copypaste this line that says print 'Hello world'; and then just change 'Hello World' to 'foo'. And voila, I have it printing. That's great, if you want to run around with a phrase book all your life coding things like 'Ou est la salle de bain?' You need to understand the language, or else your speech is going to be broken and nonsensible. It's obvious when someone isn't fluent in a spoken language, and it's equally obvious when someone isn't fluent in a programming language. Choose your goal, then write the code to reach your goal. Don't find code to reach your goal. Subtle difference. Important difference.
