Benchmark Assessments
Three times per year, Lake Bluff Elementary School District 65 students are screened in the areas of reading and math. The purpose of the screenings is to provide our teachers with data about what it is your students know and are able to do and to assist in the instructional planning process. Students in Kindergarten and First Grade are assessed using a tool called the STAR Assessment and students in grades two through eight are assessed using the NWEA/MAP Assessment.
About the STAR and NWEA/MAP Assessments
STAR is a highly reliable, computer-based, adaptive assessment that measures student understanding in a variety of areas. Since it is computer-based, it is able to adjust to the level of the student as s/he answers questions. For example, it starts out at the appropriate grade level and then, if a student gets a question correct, the questions become more difficult until it has identified the instructional level for the student. These assessments take between 20 and 45 minutes for each subject (Reading and Math).
Helpful Tips for Parents
It is helpful for your children to get a full night's sleep and to arrive on time to school.
Eating well-balanced meals including a healthy breakfast can help students to perform at their best.
Talk with your children about the assessments by reminding them that they need to try their hardest.

The "WOW" Factor
Something I love: I love walking into a women's event and, at my first glimpse of the room and its decorations, my first reaction is "WOW." I love being surprised and excited about what is to come based on the look of the room. The world calls that "The WOW Factor." I'm here to tell you that "The WOW Factor" does not require a huge decorating budget, which most smaller churches do not have.
What the "WOW Factor" does require is someone with vision who is willing to develop it within your working budget. We are a small church. Sometimes we may have a little left in our account from previous retreats or events which is available to use. We are trying to keep the price of the retreat down as much as possible, so we try to add as little as possible to the individual retreat price.
Here are a few ideas for creating a budgetary margin for decorations:
- Offer table decoration for sale after the event
- Add a small amount to the individual's cost for the event designated to decorations
- Use multi-purpose decorations that can double as give-aways
- Use the crafting talents of your ladies to create what would be too expensive to purchase
- Do focal point decorating

NH election officials dispute Trump tweet on voter fraudBy DAVE SOLOMON and DAN TUOHY
New Hampshire Union Leader
November 28. 2016 12:45PM
CONCORD — New Hampshire election officials on Monday said there is no evidence to support the claim of widespread voter fraud made by President-elect Donald Trump, who tweeted on Sunday night that he would have won the popular vote nationally if not for "serious voter fraud in Virginia, New Hampshire and California."
Although he won a decisive victory in the Electoral College, Trump trails Democrat Hillary Clinton by more than 2 million in the popular vote.
"In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally," Trump tweeted.
Senior Deputy Secretary of State David M. Scanlan, head of the Election Division, said he saw no signs of widespread fraud on Election Day, and challenged Trump to produce evidence to support his claim.
"There's no indication of anything that widespread taking place in New Hampshire," he said. "If he has evidence he should pass it along so we can act on it."
"The perception and the reality are both very important in this process," he said, "so if the President-elect has information that suggests there's something going on that is contrary to what we understand, he ought to present that information so it can be acted on."
Scanlan's office has received a handful of complaints that he described as typical in any election cycle, ranging from illegally placed campaign signs to improper electioneering at the polls.
"There are some isolated instances of individual voters voting improperly," he said. "Those have been passed along to the Attorney General's office and they will chase those down. But we haven't had any complaints about widespread voter fraud taking place."
Clinton won New Hampshire by 2,732 votes out of more than 725,000. Scanlan said Trump could have asked for a recount, but didn't.
Four complaints filed
Assistant Attorney General Brian Buonamano, who took over the Election Law Unit just before the primary in September, says his office is currently investigating four complaints regarding illegal voting stemming from the Nov. 8 election.
"I do not see any indication of a coordinated effort to conduct voter fraud on a large scale in the state of New Hampshire," he said. "There is no indication of that. That's not to say there aren't potentially isolated incidents in any election, but not the kind of massive coordinated thing the President-elect appears to be referencing, although I'm not sure exactly what he is referencing."
Tighter laws
While not endorsing Trump's claim, Republican lawmakers have argued for years that the state's voting laws make it too easy for non-residents to claim a "domicile" in New Hampshire and register on Election Day.
Steve Stepanek, a New Hampshire co-chairman for Trump, is a long-time critic of the state's election laws. Noting that he is speaking for himself and not Trump, Stepanek said the same-day registration process has shown its weakness in the letters that the Secretary of State's office has sent out to those who completed a qualified voter affidavit.
When a good number come back as "undeliverable," it is a good indicator that the voter was probably not really living at that residence, he said.
Scanlan did not have a total on challenged voter affidavits for the most recent election, but said after the presidential primary in February, they added up to less than one-fifth of one percent of votes cast.
The American Civil Liberties Union of New Hampshire disputes the assertions that the "undeliverable" notices constitute fraud. In a June 2015 report on the Secretary of State's voter data and election affidavits, the ACLU-NH maintained that there is "no tangible evidence presented of drive-by voting" in New Hampshire.
Laws in the works
State Rep. David Bates, R-Windham, has several bills in the works aimed at voting laws, one of which would require proof of residency for the 30 days prior to an election.
He also has drafted a constitutional amendment requiring that "only a resident of the state may establish a domicile for the purpose of voting."
Governor-elect Chris Sununu has said he would like to do away with same-day voter registration in the state, but said he has not seen any evidence to support Trump's allegation.
"No evidence of voter fraud in this past election has been brought to my attention," Sununu said.
Bates said Trump's tweet will bring attention to the matter as the Legislature addresses the issue. "That statement probably helps us and, in reality, I wish it didn't," he said.
Same-day registration is not the big issue, according to Bates. "I'm quite certain we're not going to go that route," he said.
New Hampshire used to shut off registration 10 days prior to an election, but adopted election-day registration in the 1990s to obtain a waiver from the federal Motor Voter law. That law requires states to offer and accept voter registrations at the Department of Motor Vehicles or at state agencies that provide public assistance.
"We have a few matters related to election-day registration that the Legislature has been trying to address," said Secretary of State Bill Gardner, and one is that we at least have a residency requirement."
Gardner suggested same-day registration with a residency requirement is a better alternative than Motor Voter.
Gardner' chief deputy for elections agrees.
"I don't think Motor Voter is the alternative," said Scanlan. "That really opens up the registration process to allow anyone in the state to take voter registrations and turn them in. Right now it's a personal act between a voter and local election officials, one on one, and there's something to be said for that."
Hoping for changes
The fact that individuals can register and vote on Election Day in New Hampshire by simply filling out an affidavit that attests to a domicile or residence in the state fuels perceptions of voter fraud, according to long-time observer Steve Duprey, a Concord businessman and member of the National Republican Committee.
"While there was no fraud as in changing vote totals and what we traditionally label as fraud, we clearly have people voting here who are not really domiciled here and we should pass the changes recommended by Democratic Secretary of State Gardner to help correct the problem," said Duprey.
He was responding to a Facebook post by Democratic state Sen. Jeff Woodburn, minority leader in the state Senate, who accused Sununu of "fanning the flames" for Trump through his call for an end to same-day registration and allegations of "drive-by voting."
Woodburn said the facts do not support claims of widespread fraud, and that the real agenda is to make it more difficult for eligible voters to vote.
Gardner acknowledges that fraud occurs, but on a relatively small scale.
"We've had at least one case that is documented and prosecuted in every state election going back a decade," he said. "It could be a person voting twice on Election Day, someone using someone else's name, or some who is just not eligible to vote, voting."

Rescue group calls shooting unwarranted
A D.C. police officer shot and killed what law enforcement authorities described as a pit bull during a festival in Adams Morgan on Sunday afternoon — an action the dog's caretaker said was uncalled for.
Aaron Block, 25, of Dupont Circle, said he was walking 2-year-old "Parrot," who he described as a Shar-Pei mix, up 18th Street when the dog suddenly turned around and bit a poodle that was passing by.
Block said he managed to separate the two dogs, and was subduing Parrot when police arrived. A police officer took over, putting his knee in the middle of Parrot's back while the dog was on the ground.
According to Block, the officer then grabbed Parrot by his neck and threw him over a banister at the Brass Knob antique store. Block said the dog was getting up when the officer shot him.
"The officer drew his gun in an unnecessary act of cowboy gunslinging law enforcement and shot my dog amidst a crowd of thousands," said Block, who was fostering Parrot while he was waiting to be adopted through Lucky Dog Animal Rescue. "The problems here are almost too numerous to count," he told the Washington Post.
The Post, which ran this photograph of the incident, by Dylan Singleton, also published the full police report, which was obtained by Lucky Dog Animal Rescue.
The officer, 25-year-veteran Scott Fike, fired one shot, fatally wounding the dog.
Jacob Kishter, commander of the 3rd Police District, said that the dog was running at the officer, and called the shooting justified.
Tony De Pass, 67, a former D.C. police officer who lives in Northwest, said that the dog was charging directly at him when Fike drew his gun and fired and that "if the officer hadn't shot the dog, the dog would have got one of us, either me or the officer…What he did, I would have done the same damn thing."
Block said Parrot was a "very people-friendly dog, with absolutely no bite history."
On it's website, the rescue organization called Parrot's death tragic and unwarranted: "We have received numerous questions about the incident, and, because news outlets have varied significantly in recounting what happened, we have spoken to as many eye witnesses as possible, and have requested and obtained the official police report."
"According to multiple eye witnesses, Parrot had already been subdued and was being held securely by his foster, Aaron Block, when the police arrived on the scene. Parrot was not 'out of control.'
Lucky Dog also disputes that the dog was charging at the officer. "A witness who was standing on the Brass Doorknob's porch saw what transpired in the stairwell. He told us that Parrot was stunned from the fall and had only just gotten to his feet when the officer drew his gun and opened fire without provocation."

Ground broken for new DC dog park
Washington broke ground for its newest canine playground this week — the 11,000 square foot Newark Dog Park.
"Everywhere I go in the city, there are more people who want dog parks," said Mayor Adrian Fenty, who was packing dog treats for the occasion.
The park, to open in August, will be located off Wisconsin Avenue at 39th and Newark Streets.
The District is spending more than $400,000 on the park. Residents raised another $25,000 to pay for the park's benches and other amenities, according to WTOP.
The District now has three official dog parks: S Street Dog Park, at 17th Street NW and New Hampshire Avenue. NW.; Shaw Dog Park, at 11th Street and Rhode Island Avenue NW; and Walter Pierce Park Dog Park at 20th Street and Calvert Street NW.

Trooper, the DC dumpster dog, nears adoption
Trooper, the pit bull found bleeding, duct taped in a bag and left for dead in a Washington D.C. dumpster in August, continues to recuperate and will soon be available for adoption.
"She's nearing the completion of her rehabilitation and we anticipate she'll be entering an adoption program real soon," Scott Giacoppo of the Washington Humane Society told the Washington City Paper.
A resident of an apartment building in southeast Washington was throwing her trash into a dumpster when she found the dog, sticking her head out of a bag. The Washington Humane Society took the dog to Friendship Hospital for Animals, where she was treated.
Investigators believe Trooper was used as a "bait" animal by dogfighters.
After surgeries and treatment, Trooper left the hospital in October (when the report above appeared), for months of therapy at a facility that specializes in the emotional rehabilitation of abused animals.
The Washington Humane Society is still offering a $1500 reward for anyone who has information leading to an arrest in the case.

Don't Worry, The Real Housewives of Miami Will Be Back
Breathe easy.
The Real Housewives of Miami is coming back for a second season, the Hollywood Reporter writes. Bravo "plans to give it a relaunch worthy of the other series in the franchise," meaning a new production company — Purveyors of Pop, the folks who bring you housewife-oriented programming from Atlanta, New Jersey, and New York — and some fresh faces as well as returning ones. (Not-so-fresh ones?) If you're a Housewives devotee who missed the short first season of Miami, we've totally got you covered.

Welcome to The Politics Project resources site!
We have a variety of resources all designed with one idea in mind - to support teachers and educators to discuss political and social issues with young people. We have tools for the classroom to support busy teachers to deliver creative and flexible lessons and a series of "brush-up toolkits" to help educators get up to speed on ever-changing political and social issues.
We know that teaching political and social issues can be difficult to navigate and is often squeezed into the gaps in school day. To help teachers out we have created Blocks, a series of 20 minute activities that fit into an assembly or form time. Alternatively, the Blocks can be linked up to make full lessons on the big issues of 2017.
Our Top-up Toolkits are designed to support teachers to discuss social and political topics that are constantly changing. Each toolkit is made up of ten sources that range from videos and newspaper articles to more in-depth reports. We have given each source an "effort level", so you can just dip in for a five minute refresher or dive deeper into a particular issue. Many of the sources are great to share with students, so we have marked some of them "classroom appropriate", but we recommend you make the final decision on what is right for your classroom. Our toolkits have been put together in collaboration with The Democratic Society and give a variety of perspectives on each issue. Click on the topics below to get started.
In the run-up to the 2017 General Election 12 leading Citizenship organisations came together to design a series of teaching resources to support schools. Please follow the link below to explore the full archive.
Many thanks to the following organisations for making these resources possible:

By Nakiya Morgan
Childish Gambino recently announced his return to music with "Centipede," and this week he puts his acting skills to work in a strange and intriguing teaser clip.
On Tuesday (July 30) Gambino randomly tweeted the link to the bizarre video, only adding, "director's cut next week." In the clip titled "clapping for the wrong reasons [internet version]," he's seen bouncing a basketball up and down the stairs in a mansion and showing off his karate skills on the front lawn.
Trinidad James and Chance The Rapper were caught playing a very intense game of Connect Four and the video also featured a cameo from "Boy Meets World star," Danielle Fishel.
The 50-second visual appears to be a trailer for a "mockumentary" that Gambino is filming. The mockumentary is apparently about the rapper's stay in a hilltop mansion located in the Pacific Palisades, where he is currently recording his new album.
Fans can expect to see more of "The Temple's surreal shenanigans" in the full version said to release next week. According to Chance (via Dazed and Confused), we can look forward to something exclusive. "…The rules of the Temple are clear: 'No shoes. No tweeting or Instagramming. Work starts at 10am," he told the magazine.
Although his motives are unclear, it seems as though whatever Gambino is about to produce will be dope. Check out the teaser above.

When I was young, my father got audited by the IRS. I can't remember the details — I was young, and my father died long ago — but I do remember how he fumed and fussed for weeks as he tried to gather the paperwork and make his case to the auditor. The IRS audit experience made an impression on me. I vowed that when I got older, I wouldn't be as messy and disorganized as he'd been, and that I'd always do a good job of documenting my taxes.
For the most part, I've stuck to that. I've tried to save every scrap of paper related to my personal finances and, especially, my business finances. I've always tried to be meticulous about respecting the wall between business and personal accounts. And since I started this blog eight years ago, I've tried to pay attention to the red flags that lead to IRS audits (which is one reason I've never attempted to deduct a home office expense, even though there are times — like now — when I could).
Related >> Ten Red Flags That Lead to IRS audits
My decades of being a pack rat paid off recently. In early April, I got a letter from the IRS. The government wanted to audit my 2011 taxes, and they were particularly interested in my Schedule C ("Profit or Loss from Business").
"No worries," I thought. "That's why I saved those documents all these years!" Turns out my archiving techniques left something to be desired.
The documentation
Because 2011 was the last full year we were married, my first step was to contact Kris. "Do we have anything to worry about?" she asked.
"I don't think so," I said. "We never did anything wrong. At least not intentionally. We might have made some mistakes somewhere, but I doubt there's anything major. You just pull together your paperwork, and I'll pull together mine."
Kris had gathered all of her info within a week, but I was completely consumed with preparing the Get Rich Slowly course. It wasn't until the end of April that I began to gather my statements and receipts and the other information the IRS had requested.
I found most of the paperwork stuffed in a shoebox (literally!) in the back of my storage unit. Because there was zero organization, I spent an entire Saturday afternoon stacking statements and receipts in chronological order. "I guess that's my first lesson," I thought. "I ought to be more systematic about how I archive my financial records."
After sorting the physical documents, I went online to retrieve digital statements. I was frustrated to find that many banks and credit card companies don't allow users to access digital documents after a year or two. After a certain time elapses, you have to file a request to have the documents mailed to you — and that can take days or weeks. (It took over a month to receive one statement I requested!)
I was able to gather almost everything I needed. I hoped that the auditor wouldn't worry about the few small gaps.
The interview
On a drizzly morning in early May, I drove to my accountant's office for the audit interview. "You don't seem too stressed," Sabino said.
"You know, I'm not," I said. "I haven't done anything wrong, at least not that I know of. So, this seems like more of an adventure than anything. Maybe I can write about it for the blog!"
Sabino looked through my paperwork. "You won't need these," he said, setting aside some extra financial statements I'd printed. "As a rule, you only want to provide the info that the IRS requests. You may think you're being helpful, but every extra piece of information gives them another chance to expand the audit."
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Well, the IRS won't go digging for dirt on other years. But if you accidentally give them reason to suspect there might be something to find in 2010 or 2012, then they can expand the audit beyond 2011. So, we never give them more than what they ask for."
"Okay," I said.
"That same thing is true during the interview. You can be friendly, and you should answer the questions fully and truthfully. But don't be chatty. Don't volunteer stuff. Even a casual conversation can give the auditor reason to expand the examination."
We gathered the paperwork and headed to the meeting room. The auditor already had stacks of documents regarding our case.
"Wow!" I said. "You're not messing around."
The auditor laughed. "You know the government," she said. "We love our paperwork!"
She started the interview by reading questions from a pre-prepared script. "Have you reported all of your income?" "Do you keep business and personal accounts separate?" And so on.
Eventually the questions moved off-script as the auditor tried to get a handle on my business. "You make money blogging? How does that work?" "This conference in Denver was with other bloggers? Did that lead to more business?"
After 20 or 30 minutes, we were finished. "I think I have all I need," the auditor said. "I'll get this wrapped up and then let you know my decision."

The outcome
I expected a decision on my audit within just a day or two, but that didn't happen. Instead, the auditor continued to request information and clarification. Why did my checking accounts showed more money deposited than my W2s? What was this World Domination Summit thing?
As the weeks passed, we discovered I had made a few errors. I paid for certain business expenses out of my personal account, a mistake that actually hurts me. Plus, I'd made a personal loan but hadn't been recording the interest income on my taxes. But it seemed to me that the mistakes against me were balanced by the errors in my favor.
The auditor must have agreed because today I finally received word: The audit will come back "no change," meaning I won't owe anything extra (other than the $1,500 I paid my accountant to coach me through the process!). The auditor did ask my account to scold me, though: "Please remind John that he needs to document the business purpose for an expense and make sure that the expense makes sense for his blogging business." That's a change I've already made to the way I track my expenses!
Here are some of the key things I learned during this process:
- Don't file a tax return during an audit. If you do, the audit could expand to include the new information. In my case, I received notice of the audit in early April, just before filing my 2013 return. My accountant immediately applied for an extension.
- Get organized. As soon as you receive the audit notice, gather the requested information. Don't wait. Even if you're organized, this will take time. If you're like me, you'll discover some pieces are missing. It can take weeks to receive duplicate statements from your bank or broker, so start right away.
- Get help. Hire a tax professional to represent you. He'll have a much better understanding of tax law and the audit process, and can coach you on what to say and do.
- Be courteous. You may hate the IRS and resent the audit process, but don't take it out on the auditor. She's just doing her job. Be polite and professional. Imagine that you're at a job interview and act accordingly.
- Change your habits. It's easier to be organized now than to create it from scratch under duress. After my audit, I adopted a new, embarrassingly simple step: I labeled a file folder "2014 Taxes" and I've been placing all the year's financial documents here. I even print electronic documents too, since I learned the hard way that many financial institutions only keep statements online for a few months.
I'm glad that my audit story has a happy ending. Many don't. What about you?
Have you ever been audited? (Or do you know somebody who has?) What was the experience like? How difficult was it for you to pull together the requested documentation? Any advice you'd give others so that they can better cope with an audit in the future? (Or to avoid one altogether?)

Republican Wayne T. Gilchrest, a folksy Kent County high school teacher pledging "honesty and integrity," captured his first political office last night, beating 1st District Representative Roy P. Dyson, a five-term incumbent stained by questions about his ethics.
Mr. Gilchrest beat Mr. Dyson by 57 percent to 43 percent, capturing all but three of the 13 counties in the district. The congressman carried only his home county of St. Mary's, along with Worcester and Somerset counties on the Eastern Shore.
"I can count, and the numbers aren't with us," Mr. Dyson told teary supporters at Coconut Malorie Hotel in Ocean City shortly before 11:30 p.m. He urged them to back his opponent. "God bless Wayne Gilchrest," he said.

When thinking about Angelina Jolie's breasts, I did the only thing any man would do.
I thought some more.
Then I called my wife.
"Hello?" she said.
I told her the news: Tuesday, Jolie announced she had undergone preventive mastectomies. She had tested positive for the destructive BRCA1 gene; its presence enormously increases the risk of breast cancer.
So Jolie had both breasts surgically removed.
"My chances of developing breast cancer have dropped from 87 percent to under 5 percent," Jolie wrote in Tuesday's New York Times op-ed piece. "I can tell my children that they don't need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer."
I wanted to know what my wife thought. Was she proud of Jolie? Would she make the same choice?
"If I were high risk," my wife said, "then I would do the same."
A large part of me stood tall when she said that. If cancer threatens, and the experts say a pre-emptive mastectomy is the best hand to play, then not yes, but heck yes.
But another part was deeply sad, and troubled with questions.
"Part of your womanhood [would be] taken away," my wife said. "I think it would be very traumatizing."
No other body part is so pervasive in our culture as the female breast.
It appears in films, advertisements, pornography, TV shows, commercials, lyrics, sidelines at pro football games, the bra sales in the Sunday paper.
Yet the female breast does not appear in public in a biological way. Its most natural function is stigmatized. How many women have you seen breastfeeding, proudly, in public?
Compare that number (zero) to the amount of sexualized media breasts we exhibit (a lot); we have celebrated the sexuality of the female breast but not its maternal biology.
Jolie, oddly, is a wedge in this dichotomy. She is the sex object and humanitarian aid hero and mother. Her act, while initiated by a medical condition, seems also political and social, symbolic of something, but I'm not sure what.
Are pre-emptive double mastectomies an act of feminine resistance against such a sexualized culture?
Are pre-emptive mastectomies becoming popular? Fashionable?
Are pre-emptive mastectomies an act of Amazonian power? (The story goes that Amazonian women cut off one breast so they could better throw their spears and draw their bows).
Are pre-emptive mastectomies a troubling sign, a disembodiment of the American woman?
Are pre-emptive mastectomies an act of prevention or a decision based in fear?
"When you've got a high risk, that increases your fear," Ann Law said.
Law, a mother and wife, is one of the wisest -- most alive -- people I know. Seven years ago, doctors told the dancer-founder of our city's Barking Legs Theater that she had cancer in her right breast.
She had one mastectomy. Then another.
"Seven weeks after my first one was removed, I went ahead and said: I'm not going to take a risk," she said.
Instead of reconstructive surgery, Law asked a friend to tattoo a passion flower across her chest. She then created a dance (passionflowerproject.com) about the experience.
"It was time to make art out of this chest," she said.
Making art out of cancer is an act of transformation and empowerment. Perhaps pre-emptive double mastectomies are as well.
"Are young women going to jump on the boat way, way, way too soon and make this decision and block out a major part of their body that is full of sensuality and sexuality, not to mention breastfeeding your children?" Law asked.
Jolie opens her Times essay describing her mom, who died at 56 after fighting cancer for years. Jolie then mentions her own children.
"They have asked if the same could happen to me," Jolie wrote.
Now they won't have to.
I thought back to my own wife's reply: If I were high risk, then I would do the same.
And all I would say? I support you.
It's the same thing we should say to Jolie and all women with breast cancer, however they fight it.

BROOKFIELD, NEWS--(Marketwired - Dec. 21, 2016) -
All amounts in US dollars unless otherwise indicated
Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. (TSX:BEP.UN)(NYSE:BEP) ("Brookfield Renewable") today announced that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") accepted a notice filed by Brookfield Renewable of its intention to renew its normal course issuer bid. Brookfield Renewable believes that in the event that its limited partnership units ("Units") trade in a price range that does not fully reflect their intrinsic value, the acquisition of Units may represent an attractive use of available funds.
Brookfield Renewable is authorized to repurchase up to 8.3 million Units, representing approximately 5% of the issued and outstanding Units. At the close of business on December 15, 2016, there were 166,752,453 Units issued and outstanding. Under the normal course issuer bid, Brookfield Renewable may purchase up to 53,839 Units on the TSX during any trading day, which represents 25% of the average daily trading volume of 215,357 Units on the TSX for the six months ended November 30, 2016, calculated in accordance with the rules of the TSX. Repurchases are authorized to commence on December 29, 2016 and will terminate on December 28, 2017, or earlier should Brookfield Renewable complete its repurchases prior to such date.
Under its current normal course issuer bid that commenced on December 29, 2015 and expires on December 28, 2016, Brookfield Renewable made no repurchases.
All purchases will be made through the facilities of the TSX, the NYSE and/or Canadian and U.S. alternative trading systems, if eligible, and all Units acquired under the normal course issuer bid will be cancelled. Repurchases will be subject to compliance with applicable United States federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as well as applicable Canadian securities laws.
From time to time, when Brookfield Renewable does not possess material non-public information about itself or its securities, it may enter into automatic purchase plans with its broker to allow for the purchase of Units at times when Brookfield Renewable ordinarily would not be active in the market due to its own internal trading blackout periods and insider trading rules. Any such plans entered into with Brookfield Renewable's broker will be adopted in accordance with applicable Canadian and U.S. securities laws including the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Will Chikungunya be the Media's New Ebola?
Chikungunya is a virus transmitted by a mosquito bite. There is currently no vaccine, or cure for it, other than letting the symptoms flow their course. It is not lethal, but it is painful and debilitating, causing high fevers and pain in the joints, usually for months. And even though it was discovered in 1952 (in Tanzania), this is probably the first time you are hearing of it. If it's not, maybe the first time you heard about it was last week, when American actress Lindsay Lohan said she had caught the virus during her vacation in Tahiti, in the French Polynesia.
The incident prompted many media outlets in the United States to report on Chikungunya, some with more dramatism than others. For example, on the first day of 2015–also prompted by the fact that the United States government had recorded 2000 cases of the disease in the last year there–NPR opened a piece with: "Most of us will remember 2014 as the year Ebola came to the U.S. But another virus made its debut in the Western Hemisphere. And unlike Ebola, it's not leaving anytime soon."
That's an odd thing to say, since Ebola is still very much a problem in West Africa. But I guess the phrase refers more to the mediatic standing of that virus in the American media: Ebola has left the collective consciousness of the United States and has left an opening for Chikungunya, a new foreign ailment to be afraid of. If that is the case, NPR might be on to something, because indeed, the Western Hemisphere has been paying attention.
Until 2006, all of the cases of Chikungunya had been reported in Sub Saharan Africa ("chikungunya" means something like "that which bends up" in the Makonde language of Tanzania and Mozambique) and South and Southeast Asia. But a current outbreak has affected most of the Caribbean and it has reached parts of the Pacific Coast of Central America.
It started in late 2013 in the French part of St. Martin, and by July of last year there were 5000 confirmed cases throughout Latin America. By then, 21 people had died in the Caribbean because of the virus. Even though, as I mentioned, the Chikungunya virus is not lethal, it can be deadly for people with poor defenses, such as people who are already sick with something else, or people past a certain age. So we had been following the virus developments.
Puerto Rico officially declared a Chikungunya epidemic in July. Venezuela has been scheduling fumigations around the country to combat Chikungunya and Dengue. In Colombia, where I'm writing this right now, Chikungunya was the major public health concern of 2014, and it is still in 2015. Media here started following the virus in July, and coverage started to grow after August, when the first case in the country was reported. Now, most Colombian media outlets have sections exclusively dedicated to the virus and the disease it causes. Both the Minister of Health, Alejandro Gaviria, and the President, Juan Manuel Santos, have had to make various public announcements about them.
Currently, there have been 75,000 cases reported in the country (and very likely many more unreported), most of them concentrated in the Caribbean, or Atlantic region of the country. There, the weather–hot, humid and in proximity to various big masses of water–helps the Aedes aegypti mosquito, the bearer of the virus, to thrive. For now, the only precaution that works is to avoid being bitten. That means either buying bug spray, or moving away from places with mosquitoes. Yet, most of the cases have been reported in the periphery, and most of the people infected come from lower classes. Many people are too poor to afford continuous use of bug spray, while mosquitoes are everywhere, especially in poorer neighborhoods, with not good enough sewage or garbage disposal plans.
Other areas of the Caribbean have similar conditions and so it seems that, unfortunately, the virus will keep spreading along the region, including in the American state of Florida. Then, NPR's prophecy might become true. In their article, Walter Tabachnkick, an entomologist working in that state, says: "There's very little predictability for Chikungunya. But would 50,000 or 100,000 cases in Florida be surprising? I don't know. I don't think so. I wouldn't be surprised."
There is room for Chikungunya to grow and become the misinformed panic that Ebola was in the United States. And, as we have seen with Ebola in Western Media, these media frenzies are usually discriminatory. It happened too with Chikungunya in Colombian media: coverage of the virus truly blew up last December, when many wealthy people from the big cities in the center of the country (up in the Andes, where few mosquitoes live) headed for vacations to cities and towns along the Atlantic coast, or in lower altitudes, where the weather is nicer, but mosquitoes are more common.
Spanish-Colombian commentator Salud Hernández got the virus a few weeks ago in a trip to La Guajira, in the north of the country. She used one of her weekly columns at El Tiempo newspaper, usually dedicated to talk about politics, to tell the story of her disease and how doctors in Bogotá–where supposedly the best medical facilities are–were completely unequipped to treat her. She made the point that, since no one powerful from the "center" of the country had gotten the virus, there had been no national campaign to coordinate medical efforts against this virus, thus damaging the health of those in the poorer, more vulnerable areas.
We'll see how it turns out to be in the United States. Will Chileans be discriminated because they come from the Chikungunya land of "Latin America" (Just like, say, Rwandans were with Ebola)? I don't know.
In the meantime, tell Bob Geldof we already have a song for Chikungunya.

updated review: core fusion at exhale spa.
beauties, last time i reviewed core fusion i told you it was pretty much the hardest thing ever (read that here). which is still true, but something strange has happened since then. i've fallen in love with it. and not just a little in love, i'm talking that addictive, hypotic sort of love. like, i want to go to core (that's what i've started calling it) right now.
3 weeks ago i did 1 week unlimited for $40 (which i would recommend to anyone new to exhale spa), during which i took 6 classes. since then i've been going approximately 2x/week, and while i don't actually look like the woman pictured above, my body is quickly headed in the right direction. specifically my thighs and butt are getting crazy toned. if you thicker on bottom, this won't make you smaller but it will make it look great (think kim k-esque).
to look for a location near you check out the exhale site. if there's none in your area, i suggest their dvd.

I walked a crooked mile, I saw a crooked stile
I am increasingly becoming disgusted with people on the internet. Seriously.
I think anonymity is getting the better of society at large. Sadly it is a global phenomenon.
For instance I love reading DIY type blogs and sites for ideas. I get an email from Better Homes and Gardens regularly with articles showing how to update furniture, ideas for decorating with flea market finds and full on room remodels with before and after pictures. It used to be that a site like that only attracted people interested in the ideas with very little criticism. I know criticism can be good. But now, people are complaining about the colors chosen for a room or that the remodel was too expensive or that not enough was done and I'm telling you, they are being vitriolic about it. On a DIY 'idea' site! Come on peoples, haven't you got better things to do than pretentiously pick on articles written to inspire? If you're such an expert, link up your own site with articles that you've written and well taken photographs with your advice. If you can even do that, see how long it takes before some arrogant troll starts belittling you and your articles.
TED. I love the TED talks. I don't always agree with them, but I understand they are for inspiration. Helping us all to think about things in new light and try to change the world or maybe just our own communities for the better. You should see the comments there! People just raving about how wrong someone is and how stupid they are. Jeez. I'd like to see these commenters get themselves invited to TED! Come on, show us what you got. How are you going to change the world?
Why. Why can't we join in the spirit of inspiration instead of consistently practicing the destruction of creativity or thought? What is so appealing about tearing down and laughing at rubble instead of building up and looking for ways to do it even better the next time?
When I read this stuff, I feel that the population is getting dumber by choice. A great number of people would rather adopt a bullyish attitude than try to learn something new, admit they don't know something being said, or most often I think, just to do it.
I find it disgusting.
Rant done.

I've been thinking about this too. The abuse of anonymity is disturbing.
Trollish comments always remind me of Mark Twain's quote, "Its better to stay silent and look a fool, rather than speak and remove all doubt."
Yes, I agree with you. I have not been exposed to much of it, but that's a conscious choice to not take part in what seems to be a large part of popular culture today. So many bloggers found amusement in Cake Wrecks and Regretsy, and I understand that these are supposed to be professionals or people who are looking for money for their work, but still... Just don't buy it. It made me sorry I ever joyfully displayed a birthday cake I had made for my child online.
I'm not sure I agree that it has to do with anonymity. I think people are both brazen AND stupid. It's a dangerous cocktail.

It takes less brains to be an asshole and make nasty comments than it does to be constructive or supportive. So lazy stupid people take the lazy stupid way out.
Then they can feel clever and better about their own sorry lives.

It's a terrible phenomenon all over. I don't think it has so much to do with anonymity as much as it has to do with the net itself. Even when they're completely open and identified, people will say things online that they'd NEVER say out loud. Email, online forums, blog comments. I've heard of several sites simply shutting down their commenting system because of it.
Society as a whole needs a good wash with soap and disinfectant.
Good dispatch and this fill someone in on helped me alot in my college assignement. Thank you on your information.
- slow panic said...
it is frustrating reading that people think it's ok to just say anything on-line. sometimes i think we see the truer side of people on-line -- both good and bad. plus we just get exposed to so many more people with the internet then we would if we didn't have this medium. i think we have to take the bad with the good. i wouldn't wan to not have this resource and my on-line friends, i try to just ignore the negative crazies.
- Andrea Frazer said...
I cannot agree with you more. I simply. Cannot. Agree. More.
- D-Man said...
It's much easier to criticize than be creative, unfortunately. And it's much easier to criticize anonymously, unfortunately.

The number of living Formosan black bear population is currently small, spotted in Taiwan Taiwan's Central Mountain Range is a unique subspecies of the Asian black bear, chest V-shaped markings are its characteristics.
I will create only black bears were glad to hear the story of a Formosan black bear.
Taipei Zoo has one called "mini three" female Formosan black bear. Because arrested beast clip to clip off the right front leg, leaving three feet so was named the "mini three." After this poor black bear lent Kaohsiung Shoushan Zoo, even in December 2013 by another black bear killed in Kaohsiung Shoushan Zoo. The news made me very sad, so I designed only bears to commemorate this unfortunate incident.

Writing an Article Using the Joomla Frontend
Joomla has both a "frontend" of general user interface for writing aritcles and a "backend," or administrator interface. The administrator interface has potentially more options and can be more confusing for new users. The tutorial that follows describes how to write a basic article for your organization'web site using the frontend interface. The website for Hillcrest Toastmasters is used for the example.
Resources Menu Before Logging In
In most web site designs, the options for adding a new article will not be available unless you log in. The example web site is designed so that the options appear under "Resources for Toastmasters" menu; before login, this only shows a menu option for the list of useful articles as shown in Figure 1.
Log In to the Website
To log in on most web sites, there will be a login screen or button. On the example web site, use the login panel at the bottom of the right side of the screen. The "Secret Key" box is used for Two Factor Authentication; this provides security when accessing the web site from a public terminal. If you do not know more, leave the Secret Key blank. For more information see Setting Up Google Authenticator for Joomla.

Upgrading from Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04
After putting it off as long as possible, I finally bit the bullet and upgraded from Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04; there were just too many things where I needed the newer software levels in 16.04. Fortunately, this upgrade went quite smoothly unlike my experience moving from 12.04 to 14.04. The article that follows is a discussion of the upgrade steps specific to 14.04 to 16.04, but this is also probably useful for any upgrade.
One useful step that I did not do but highly recommend is deleted old Linux kernel images, as this would have cut hours off of the upgrade process.
There are a variety of ways to back up a system. I use the following to maintain multiple copies of files:
- Clonezilla for disk-level backups.
- Duplicity for both local and off-site backups.
- Subversion for code. While this is not truly a backup, it provides an easy way to copy the current version of my files.
- Box, OwnCloud and other cloud services.

Using CiviCRM on Joomla
Most technical professionals end up doing website technical support for one or more community organizations. Most organizations need operational systems for managing members, handling dues payments and event registration fees and calender management, but these organizations frequently do not have the money to pay for a commercial services to support these needs. Many non-profits have adopted CiviCRM to handle these organizational capabilities. Although CiviCRM runs on Wordpress, Joomla and Drupal, most CiviCRM installations are on Drupal which is beyond the technical capability of many small organizations.
Although Wordpress is a popular CMS for small organizations, it does not have the robust permissions system that both Drupal and Joomla have and is not well-suited to CiviCRM installations; in Wordpress, controlling access to sensitive information would be difficult, unreliable, or impossible. Because of the migration issues between Drupal 7 and Drupal 8, Joomla may actually be a good alternative for Drupal 7 installations that do not want to make or cannot make the conversion to Drupal 8.
The article that follows describes the basic features of CiviCRM, how you can use the Joomla permissions system to control sensitive information, and how you can use Joomla menu options to present CiviCRM capabilities to end users.
CiviCRM is a Non-profit Oriented Customer Relationship Management System
CiviCRM provides both backend administrative tools that are accessible through the Joomla backend to users with administrative privileges, and frontend information and registration tools that are accessible through the Joomla frontend either publicly or to users with front-end privileges. For many non-profit community organizations these two capabilities are critical. There are several vendors that host CiviCRM installations, so if your organization loses the technical person who manages the CiviCRM installation, there is a fall-back alternative that is competitively priced compared to commercial membership management solutions.
Administering a CiviCRM installation is not a trivial undertaking; there are many decisions to be made for member types, document types, case types and numerous other things, so an organization must have a good technical succession plan in place before making the decision to implement a CiviCRM system. This is true of any membership management system.
Perhaps the biggest consideration in hosting a CiviCRM system for membership management will depend upon the risk of private data compromises and whether or not the organization can protect itself technically and legally from the risk of compromise.

UseR! 2017 Recap
I recently returned from a week at the UseR! 2017 conference in Brussels, which was a great opportunity to catch up on the latest trends in the R world. This conference was noticeably different from the 2015 Aalborg conference in the demographics of the audience; in prior conferences, the attendees were overwhelmingly either PhD faculty or PhD candidates but at this conference many if not the majority were consultants and practitioners from industry. There is a lot to cover, so I'll split things into a few categories:
- Trends
- Natural Language Processing
- A Tidal Wave of Mapping
- Shiny Stuff
- Docker Was Common
- Tidyverse
- Mixed Integer Programming
- Parallel Processing
- Making Web Sites Accessible to the Blind
