Question about Toshiba e740 Pocket PC
Can one use a Toshiba PDA e310, e330 or e740 together with Windows NT 4.0?
Posted by Anonymous on
The Toshiba Pocket PC's e310, e330 and e740 are designed to work together with Microsoft Windows 98, Windows 98SE, Millennium, Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Microsoft Windows NT4.0 is an older operating system, which does not work together with the Toshiba Pocket PC's e310,e330 and e740. Technical background: The Toshiba Pocket PC's have a USB and a Infrared interface to communicate with a Computer. Unfortunately, Microsoft Windows NT4.0 does not support USB nor Infrared. Windows NT supports a serial connection, but the serial interface is not available for the Pocket PC's e310,e330 and e740. Note: There is the possibility to synchronize a PDA over Network or Modem but the ActiveSync Software, which is responsible for the synchronization, will need a "first sync" to establish a "partnership" with the PDA. This "first sync" can only be done via USB.

In Umbria, it is thought that the tradition of embroidery can be traced back to the industriousness of Saint Clare of Assisi (1193/1194-1253). She complemented her intense contemplative life with manual work and, following the example of St. Francis, was influenced by "Lady poverty". Thus, the tradition of weaving and embroidery began in convents, in the sacred vestments and tablecloths with their delicate decorations and mystical inspirations. Saint Jacopa, the founder of the Third Franciscan order, also distinguished herself in the blue rosettes she created and embroidered with care and dedication. Many young women were educated in the convents, even those with no religious vocation, taking their skills in the feminine arts of weaving and embroidery with them, as a bridal dowry, along with a passion for work. From the 15th century, embroidery became the distinctive sign of social status for noble dames and embroidered decorations were used to enrich clothes, upholstery and linen.
Over time, thanks to the contributions of the patrician women, the technique of embroidery used in Assisi became well known, not only in Italy, but also abroad. It was known as the Punto Assisi (Assisi Stitch), establishing itself permanently from the 19th century, thanks to the creation of start-up centres devoted to this work.
For those who want to try this technique, Assisi Stitch is of medium difficulty and requires the use of a thread that is not too thin, with a thickness similar to that of natural linen thread. The colours used in this embroidery are traditionally light blue, blue, dark blue, dark red, bright red, edged with black, brown and rust, which go well with the ecru background. The embroiderer needs to be able make the reverse side of the work identical to the front and, in the various parts of the pattern, must respect a distance of three stitches in length and in width, to ensure perfect regularity in the cross-stitch. The embroidered cloth is typically finished with box stitch and the hem is finished by twisting a thin cord tightly between your thumb and forefinger.

Sim Gokkes
"Bien étonnés de se trouver ensemble..." This might have been the expression of surprise of a number of composers described in this booklet, had they known that because of their shared tragic destiny they would come to be known as a group. The Nazis simply called them all "Jewish composers". If you really listen to their music, only Sim Gokkes deserves this description. His compositions have the distinct sound of the synagogue; it is impossible in his music not to hear his Jewish background.
As a boy Sim Gokkes had singing lessons from the opera singer Ben Geijsel, and later from Victor Schlesinger, cantor at the Rapenburg synagogue. Here in 1912 Sim Gokkes' first compositions were performed. When he was in his teens Gokkes conducted various choirs. He then began his studies at the Conservatory, ending in 1919 as a piano student of Sem Dresden. After his studies Gokkes became a choir conductor. Amongst other activities, he founded the Amsterdam Choral School, and for many years he conducted the choir of the Portuguese Synagogue in Amsterdan. As a conductor he also rescued many operas, notably works by Cherubini and Cimarosa, from oblivion.
In 1923 Sim Gokkes married the pianist Rebecca Winnik, who was also musically akin to him. They had two children and up until 1943 the Gokkes family lived in the Jewish quarter around Oosterpark in Amsterdam.
A large part of Gokkes' musical work was lost during the Second World War. Some manuscripts can still be found in the Nederlands Muziek Instituut (Netherlands Music Institute) in The Hague. His works were regularly performed in the Netherlands in his lifetime, which brought him considerable fame. Gokkes' Hebrew Songs were performed in the Salle Pleyel in Paris by the singer Lotti Muskens-Sleurs, accompanied at the piano by the composer himself.
A few years ago cantor Berry Mehler discovered Gokkes' 'Sjire Kodesj' in the archives of the Portuguese Synagogue in Amsterdam. This is a collection of anthems for use during worship in a synagogue. In this work Gokkes tried to render traditional Jewish anthems in their original authenticity and purity, which he considered had been lost in the course of time. According to Gokkes, the influence of worldly music such as opera had gone too far. Ironically, in his attempts to restore the old forms, Gokkes used the techniques of modern music. Gokkes' work became a reference for the famous cantor Hans Blumenthal.
The work entitled 'Kinah', on the other hand, for solo voice, wind quintet and piano (1928), inspired by the laments in Jeremia, sounds extremely modern. With the exception of the song Adonaj, Ilohénoe, which only occurs once, the singers mouth exclusively the syllable 'ha', which was a decidedly modern way to write at the time. In the same year Gokkes wrote a number of sensitive songs around Dutch, Hebrew and French texts.
One of Gokkes' last works is the Sonatina for piano (1939), a type of collage based on themes from the Book of Esther, which is recited during the Feast of Purim. According to this biblical story, the Jewish Queen Esther was able to warn her husband, the Persian King Achachverosh, in good time of a plot for the mass murder of his Jewish subjects. A thousand years later, as we all know, no-one was able to stop a similar plan to anihilate all the European Jews. Sim Gokkes and his family did not survive the Second World War: in 1943 they were all exterminated in Auschwitz.
Selected works
Sonatine 1939 piano
Kinah 1928 solo voices, wind quintet and piano
Songs 1926/1928 voice and piano
Shire Kodesh 1937 male choir

As I mentioned before, I have been catching up on many movies during this "down time"
I am having with Lyme Disease.
Last night I watched the movie "Lone Survivor" with my husband and teens
(the twins were in bed, of course, I would not let them watch this).
I don't even have words on how this movie affected me.
It moved me and tore my insides apart on many levels.
It is mind boggling to me how brave these men are and how simply they are
willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for us, our country, and each other.
I was also blown away by the Afghan village who ultimately saved
Marcus Luttrell and returned him to the Americans for rescue.
There were many times throughout the movie when I wanted
to get up and leave the room because I have trouble watching
the blood and gore associated with this type of movie,
but I stayed because I believe EVERY American should see this movie,
especially teens who sometimes have a false sense of war
through video games and other glorified movies.
War is not a game.
So, today, I am thankful for all the men and women,
past and present who are brave enough to fight for our beliefs and freedoms.
I am awed by each one of you.
Thank you.
This image is from my 2009 archives,
taken during a visit to the D-Day Memorial in Virginia.
If you read my blog way back then, you might remember this image
was originally posted on a Veterans Day post.
"There's a storm inside of us. I've heard many team guys speak of this. A burning. A river. A drive. An unrelenting desire to push yourself harder and further than anyone could think possible. Pushing ourselves into those cold, dark corners, where the bad things live. Where the bad things fight. We wanted that fight at the highest volume. A loud fight. The loudest, coldest, darkest, most unpleasant of the unpleasant fights."
~Marcus Luttrell

Kenneth Slessor, held by many to be Australia's finest poet, was a successful journalist, and for a time (a time which Slessor described as 'frustrating') was Australia's Official War Correspondent in the UK, Greece, the Middle East and New Guinea. As well as being a classic, romantic poet, he was also an engaging companion, a bon viveur, and a man prone to stormy relationships with the women in this life.
Dutton, G, 1991, Kenneth Slessor, Penguin Books Australia, Ringwood, Victoria
I looked out of my window in the dark
At waves with diamond quills and combs and combs of light
That arched their mackerel-backs and smacked the sand
In the moon's drench, that straight enormous glaze,
And ships far off asleep, and Harbour-buoys
Tossing their fireballs wearily each to each,
And tried to hear your voice, but all I heard
Was a boat's whistle, and the scraping squeal
Of seabirds' voices far away, and bells,
Five bells, Five bells coldly ringing out.
Five Bells , 1939

After two years problem free, I'm having issues with printing and copying, and would appreciate feedback about (a) potential source of the problem and (b) how I might go about fixing it.
The following images show what's happening.
1. Printing text: every third line or so looks like it has been bolded. Copying text has the same result.
2. Printing images: banding progressively becomes more pronounced as the page is printed.
3. Check pattern: top of PGBK row is missing alternate bars.
(The last BK row doesn't actually print in rainbow patterns: it's plain grey.)
I've cleaned and deep cleaned 4-6 times, removed the print head and flushed the nozzles with warm water without success.
I'm using an iMac with OSX 10.6.8. Problem happens with both wifi and usb setup.
Any idea what's going on?
Hello bagenhot43,
Unfortunately, since you have performed multiple cleanings and deep cleanings on the printer and the nozzle check pattern and other items are still not printing correctly, the printer will require servicing to determine the source of the issue and resolve the problem. Please use the contact link below to obtain information on your service options.
This didn't answer your question or issue? Find more help at Contact Us.
hello, i have the same problem.. please help me.. my printer is canon i9100.

It's Biblical! This week: Ahasuerus
Everything you ever wanted to know about your favourite Torah characters, and the ones you've never heard of...
In his 1929 novel, Mario and the Magician, German author Thomas Mann wrote about an Italian magician named Cipolla, who performs hypnotic tricks to make his audience act in a humiliating fashion and simultaneously satisfy his own lust for power. Mann's work was politically motivated, designed to highlight the unethical behaviour of autocratic dictators.
There is some debate over the precise historical identity of the biblical Ahasuerus, although many scholars believe he was the Persian king Xerxes, who reigned from 486 to 465 BCE. Unmistakable however, is the fact that he is portrayed in the Book of Esther as a power-hungry, pleasure-seeking and easily manipulated ruler.
The first chapter of the book contains an extensive description of a lavish party thrown by Ahasuerus, lasting many days and designed to showcase his vast wealth and lavish lifestyle.

Some years later, Haman is able to take advantage of his weaknesses, offering him 10,000 pieces of silver to murder the Jews. As the tables turn in the Purim story, Esther, too, realises that it is through inviting the king to a feast that she will be able to best present her plea for mercy on behalf of the Jewish people.
Ahasuerus' extravagant displays of personal wealth were apparently designed to demonstrate that he was in control of his vast empire. But as with so many other such leaders in history, particularly those of the type to which Mann intended to draw attention in his book, his excesses simply served to highlight his own shortcomings and insecurities.
Thus, his power is demonstrated time and again to be no more than superficial at best. In fact, in the entire Book of Esther, there is not a single decision of any significance made by Ahasuerus alone.
He is always dependent upon the advisors who happen to be closest to him at the time.
Like the magician in Mann's book, Ahasuerus remains the archetypal example of a deluded dictator who believes he is in control, but whose lack of moral grounding leaves him fatally exposed to manipulation at the hands of those around him.

Bargaining Update
CVEU and CAVA are still in the mediation phase of bargaining our first contract and CVEU will continue to work hard to finalize a fair contract. We believe it is essential to improve educator compensation so we are in line with similar schools throughout California. We also believe it is necessary to address our spiraling workload, so we can better provide the attention our students deserve. Both fixes will help reduce teacher and student turnover, and increase the stability of our school.
The next mediation session will take place in Simi Valley November 28th and 29th. If the PERB mediator believes we are making progress we will continue to schedule mediation sessions. Should the mediator determine that the two parties are too far apart on the issues, we will be certified to fact-finding.
In the fact-finding phase there will be a panel of three people, one from CAVA's side, one from CVEU's side and a neutral party who put together a report over a 30 day time period. The report will be presented to both sides at the end of fact-finding. If a settlement is not reached at this time, a strike may take place. While CVEU does not want a strike to occur, we will continue to prepare for all possible scenarios.
Strike Authorization Vote
Earlier this month CVEU educators voted overwhelming to authorize a strike in the event CAVA administration does not meaningfully address our core values. Below are the results:
Our hope is we can settle a strong contract that ensures a bright future for our school, our teachers and our students, without ever having to strike. No strike would take place in any circumstances, before March 2018. Our goal is to build on our recent progress in mediation—we agreed to job security provisions on October 30th—and fix our salary and workload. We will keep you posted, and let you know how you can best help.
CVEU Featured at CTA State Council
We were honored that CVEU leaders were given the opportunity to attend CTA State Council on Saturday, October 21st in Los Angeles. CVEU Vice-President, Sheryl Carruth spoke to 800 members about charter school accountability and our efforts to help make CAVA the best online school possible. Our message was well received and CVEU look forward to continued collaboration with CTA.
Strike Authorization Results
Dear CVEU Educators,
Over the last three days, CVEU educators voted overwhelming to authorize a strike in the event CAVA administration does not meaningfully address our core values. Below are the results:
We are encouraged by the high rate of participation of educators in this important decision. The 300 YES vote sends a strong message that we are united to fix CAVA and make it the best possible place to teach and learn.
We take the responsibility you have invested in us by authorizing a strike very seriously. We will not squander your trust. We believe it is essential to improve educator compensation so we are in line with similar schools throughout California. We also believe it is necessary to address our spiraling workload, so we can better provide the attention our students deserve. Both fixes will help reduce teacher and student turnover, and increase the stability of our school.
Our hope is we can settle a strong contract that ensures a bright future for our school, our teachers and our students, without ever having to strike. No strike would take place in any circumstances, before March 2018. Our next mediation will take place November 28th and 29th. Our goal is to build on our recent progress in mediation—we agreed to job security provisions on October 30th—and fix our salary and workload. We will keep you posted, and let you know how you can best help.
In Unity,

CVEU Monthly Newsletter
October 2017
Hello Fellow CVEU Members,
Let's get right down to business in our October newsletter
Town Hall Meeting For CAVA Certified Staff
Tuesday, October 17th at 12 PM
We will discuss important updates and next steps in our plan win a strong contract that address workload concerns, job security, and fair compensation for all CAVA educators.
*This is a protected, lunch-time activity. You cannot be penalized for attending.
Bargaining Update
CVEU Representatives, Brianna Carroll, Sheryl Carruth and CTA representative Chuck King met with CAVA Representative April Warren, CAVA lawyer James Young and K12 Representative Katrina Abston on Tuesday in a continued effort to finalize a fair contract. While no written proposals were given to CVEU at this session, the PERB mediator believed progress could be made with another mediation session. It is CVEU's sincere hope that CAVA will address the important issues we've raised based on conversations with the vast majority of the teachers at CAVA, and come to the next mediation session ready to present proposals in writing. We will keep you updated!
FAQs from Our Last Town Hall Meeting on 9/26/17
Many questions were raised during our last Town Hall meeting. As is our practice, we wanted to provide answers in our newsletter in case they are helpful to other staff at CAVA.
Question: Can you use a sick day during a strike?
Answer: Participating in a lawful strike is protected activity for teachers and we can not be fired for doing so. However, educators do not get paid during a strike nor can we use sick or vacation time.
Question: Is the time-frame of a strike determined prior to going on strike? Or do we strike until CAVA is willing to respond?
Answer: The time-frame of a strike is typically not predetermined. If a strike were to happen, it would most likely last until CAVA administration was prepared to address our members' biggest concerns including work status, salary, work day, and caseloads. CVEU remains hopeful that CAVA will work to resolve a fair contract before we get to that point.
Question: Is the strike going to be strategic in that it will fall directly when admin needs us the most?
Answer: There is a process that must be followed prior to educators going on strike. CVEU will adhere to these processes as well as the legal time-frames to ensure that all avenues have been taken prior to going on strike.
Merit Based Pay ULP Update
As many of you might remember, an informal settlement hearing was scheduled to take place September 28th because CVEU filed charges over CAVA administration's failure to follow through with their commitments to pay merit raises in 2016-17. That settlement conference was cancelled. After a representative from the Public Employee Relations Board (PERB) spoke with both sides, it was determined that CAVA's position was too far from CVEU's request that they follow through on their promise to provide our members with their merit increases. Next step will be a formal settlement hearing.
Once that is scheduled by PERB, we will let you know the date.
This information is incredibly disappointing for CVEU members who were hoping that CAVA would honor the commitment they made in 2016 to give teachers their merit increase based on their performance for the 2015-2016 school year. Your CVEU leadership will continue to keep you informed of this very important issue.
Don't Leave Your Families in the Dark!
There are many changes happening at CAVA that affect your families and we need their help and support. Let your families know about the PTSA newsletter and help keep them informed.
Please include the invitation to the newsletter in your next email out to families and help them join more than 300 CAVA families who receive our monthly newsletter!.
What is Happening with the Science Department?
As you know, CAVA was mandated by the California Attorney General to offer A-G Science courses for students. Last year, in-person Science labs were piloted in two CAVA schools and this year they are being offered in all campuses. Unfortunately, just a few weeks into this school year we have learned that CAVA has been employing dangerous procedures and some of our members are concerned of possible liability due to unsafe practices. In an effort to correct these issues science teacher Deborah Lilly has attempted notify admin in an effort to help prevent a possible disaster and at the last bargaining session CVEU brought this to CAVA and K12 Inc.'s attention. We are hopeful that CAVA will comply with this request by October 30, 2017.
Additionally, Earth Science teachers have raised concerns to CAVA administration regarding the influx of students in this particular course. These teachers met with admin to address the significant increase in caseload. They were offered only superficial support via a phone call rather than administration addressing the real problem- low staffing and inequitable compensation. CVEU will continue to focus on the issues that are important to our members as we fight for a fair contract.
CTA Supports CVEU
We are excited that CVEU has been given the opportunity for three of our leaders to attend the CTA State Council on Saturday, October 21st in Los Angeles. Our members will be speaking to CTA's various committees and sharing their personal stories of their experience at CAVA. CVEU will continue to collaborate with CTA in our efforts to make CAVA the best online school possible.
Letters to April
In this week's Letters to April, we have a very concerning letter not from a CAVA teacher, but from Tom Torlakson, California State Superintendent of Public Schools. The letter details the findings from the State Controller, Betty Y. Lee regarding a two year audit of CAVA and Insight. What the audit found was the following:
August 2017
From our President, Brianna Carroll
Dear CAVA Colleagues;
Welcome back to school. I am very excited to start the school year off as your CVEU president. The main goal for this school year is to work with CAVA to create a fair contract for all CVEU members. A fair contract will not only help to retain the amazing teachers and support staff we currently have but it will also help our school grow and provide high levels of education and support for our students. Our secondary goal for the year is to increase teacher involvement in the development of CVEU. Working in a virtual environment often leaves teachers feeling isolated and alone; we want to break down those barriers to ensure that all teachers know that they have support and a voice at their school. In an effort to do this we are recruiting teachers from every RLT/RS group to be a point of contact for their fellow teachers. If you would like to help your peers please contact firstname.lastname@example.com for more information. Thank you again to the hundreds of teachers who last year helped make positive changes at our school, your support is invaluable not only to CVEU but also to all the credentialed staff that benefited from your efforts. With the voice of its members leading it, we hope that CVEU will continue to flourish as a positive driver of change at CAVA.
Our CVEU Executive Board:
Brianna Carroll – President
Sheryl Carruth - Vice President
Jason Spadaro – Secretary
Amy Koller – Treasurer

Bargaining Update…
Merit Based Pay Unfair Labor Practice (ULP)timeline:
Last year many teachers were upset to find that after much hard work to achieve a high evaluation, they were told they would not receive merit-based payouts. Furthermore, CAVA informed teachers that this was due to negotiations with CVEU. CVEU spoke with April Warren directly encouraging CAVA to follow through on their commitment and recognize that the lack of merit-based payouts was not due to contract negotiations. Due to a lack of response from CAVA, CVEU and CTA filed an Unfair Labor Practice against CAVA. On September 28th CVEU, along with CTA, will attend an informal meeting to go over a possible solution to this issue. Please see the timeline below for more information on the process.
Notes from our Teacher Outreach Committee…
Update from Parent Outreach Committee…
Over the summer your CVEU Parent Outreach Committee has been hard at work creating new ways for us to build better connections with our CAVA families. Please follow the link below for a letter to send to you student's families. The letter invites families to join the over 130 members of our PTSA Facebook group. Our independent PTSA provides parents and teachers a chance to stay in the loop on what is going on at CAVA and offers families opportunities to build new friendships with other families. We highly recommend that you send this email out to families along with other strong start emails you will be sending out to families. Your families will thank you for providing them the chance to build new connections and stay informed!

CVEU June 2017 End of School Newsletter
Dear CAVA Colleague,
It was great to see so many CVEU members wearing their union pins at the end of year activities and graduations. We were especially happy to see over 100 high school teachers attend our first lunchtime meeting last week that took place in a Blackboard room. Due to the great turnout, we will be scheduling more lunchtime meetings next year.
We wanted to send you a final update before we break for summer vacation. Below is a bargaining update as well as answers to some frequently asked questions that have come in over the past few weeks. Over the summer, your CVEU Board and Reps will be working hard planning for the 2017-18 school year and we will update you with any pertinent information. If your RLT or RES team does not currently have a rep assigned to it and you might be interested in supporting your team please contact Michelle Thornburg at firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you have any questions, feedback, or if you want to get involved in your union, please contact us at email@example.com.
Bargaining Update
Last week, on June 19th, April Warren sent a bargaining update through email to all staff. CVEU addressed many of the points in our June 8th update, however, in an effort to ensure CVEU's position is clear and to respond to member questions in regards to CAVA's s update, we wanted to specifically respond to a few items.
During this negotiation session, CVEU had presented salary comparisons to demonstrate to the CAVA administration why their proposed salary was not sufficient for our members. The salary comparisons provided to CAVA were pulled from school districts that CAVA has charters through.Teachers hired at CAVA are highly qualified teachers, credentialed by the state of California. As such, comparisons to other certificated teachers located in districts where our students reside are viable and logical comparisons. We invited and encouraged CAVA admin to present their own salary comparisons if they disagreed with ours and look forward to seeing their salary comparisons.CVEU first proposed our salaries article in September 2016.
CVEU also provided salary comparisons that demonstrated how little CVEU members are paid on a daily basis compared to certified staff at school districts were CAVA has charters (please see graph below). CAVA's school year is currently 215 days, a standard school year for certified staff is 185, due to our low wages and extended year CVEU demonstrated that CAVA requires teachers and staff to work more days for less money. Sadly this information shows that not only are CAVA's highly qualified educators working for less pay annually, they are also working more days. Your CVEU bargaining team proposed in our work year article that members should be held to a school year with 200 work days and have a starting pay of $51,000.00. This reduction in work days combined with a higher salary, as proposed in our article on salaries, would translate into a real benefit for our members. Please see our proposed Salary Article in SharePoint or click Proposed Salary and Benefits Article.
Lastly, In an effort to reflect the valid concerns of our members CVEU did not include merit based pay because CAVA has demonstrated that merit pay is not a reliable source of compensation. CVEU would prefer that CAVA reward their staff with a structured and transparent method of compensation in the form of a tiered salary schedule that is consistent. CAVA's proposed merit pay clause included a disclaimer that it would not be guaranteed. CVEU members are requesting a more stable salary schedule with raises we can count on.
Currently, CVEU has filed an Unfair Labor Practice through the Public Employee Relations Board against CAVA for not following through on last year's merit-based pay raise. While we believe a more reliable pay scale should be in place until that time we highly encourage CAVA to follow through with their promise of a merit-based pay raise for the 2016-2017 school year.
As we enter into the Mediation phase of contract negotiations, CVEU joins CAVA administration in the hopes that this next phase of mediation will ultimately lead to a fair contract.
Summit Courses
It has recently been brought to our attention that teachers were advised by the administration last semester about how to curve their students' grades to make up for issues with Summit courses. Some concerns have been raised about this practice, as well as about the way the Summit courses were introduced to both teachers and students. In an effort to avoid future complications, we are interested in hearing your thoughts and experiences concerning the introduction of the Summit courses as well as any related grading issues or pass rates. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any concerns, insights, or questions.
Why do we stay with CAVA?
As we finish up another year with CAVA, many of us are heading into the Summer asking ourselves, "Why do I stay with CAVA?". Many of us feel undervalued and overworked. Many of us feel under-appreciated and stressed out. Many of us are perpetually frustrated with administration's insistence that CAVA teachers should simply be thankful for the ability to work from home, and that any salary comparisons to our brick and mortar teaching peers are unwarranted.
So, why do we stay with CAVA?
The answers that we have heard are complicated, heartfelt, and authentic. Most of us stay with CAVA primarily because we truly want this to work. We truly believe that CAVA has the potential to be a great school. We are hopeful that the administrative missteps will cease, and that our experience as teaching professionals will be counted on to help make decisions that actually help our students succeed. We have a long way to go in order to make these hopes real.
There will be potential opportunities in the coming months to speak with news outlets, other teaching professionals, and families about the many problems with this school. While it is extremely important to identify and explain the many problems with this school, it's also important to identify that we are fighting to make this school reach its potential. We are fighting to change how decisions are made without teacher input. We are fighting to make CAVA a school of which families and teachers are proud.
So if the opportunity does present itself in the coming months to speak to the many ways in which CAVA is falling short, let us not forget to address these issues from a place of trying to make CAVA better and to make CAVA finally live up to its potential.
Did You Know?
Under the Educational Employment Relations Act, which governs labor relations for public schools (including charter schools) in California:
Question: Should I sign the contract sent from Casey for 2017-18?
Answer: Yes, if you would like to return to CAVA next year, sign your contract right away.
Question: Will we receive retroactive pay once the contract is settled?
Answer: Retroactive pay is a negotiated item and this will be determined during bargaining.
Question: Did all employees receive a raise this year?
Answer: Yes, all staff should have received at least a 2.5% increase over last year's contracted rate. Please double check this on your contract as we have heard reports from some members that mistakes were made on current contracts.
Looking Forward to 2017-18
Wishing you a peaceful and restful summer!
The CVEU Organizing Committee
June 2017
CVEU June 2017 Newsletter
Dear CAVA Colleague,
It is almost time to wrap up another school year and we hope you have some fun plans for this summer. CVEU will be working hard over the summer planning for the 2017-18 school year and our newly elected President, Brianna Carroll will be attending the CTA conference in San Jose in July.
We encourage you to wear your CVEU button to any end of year events, such as high school graduations, 8th grade promotions, PDs and other live events. This shows your support of the union and your desire for a fair contract.
Below are some of the highlights from the 2016-17 school year, a bargaining update, answers to your frequently asked questions and more. If you have any questions, feedback, or if you want to get involved in your union, please contact us at email@example.com.
2016-2017 CVEU Highlights
September 2016: CVEU began bargaining its first contract with CAVA administration.
December 2016: High school administration requested a meeting with CVEU regarding their desire to change the spring semester schedule.
January 2017: CVEU members met in-person in Anaheim with our sister union, IQTA (IQ Academy union).
February: Laid off teachers were given an additional 4 days of pay due to efforts at the bargaining table.
March 2017: CAVA requested to settle a ULP with CVEU. CVEU created and collected data via a survey for bargaining purposes.
April 2017: CAVA teachers presented a Collective Voice letter to administration signed by nearly 200 teachers. The bargaining team presented data from our member survey to CAVA administration in a highly strategic contract bargaining session.
May 2017: CVEU held its first election of officers. CVEU members spoke to parents and teachers at testing sites regarding union efforts. Teachers began receiving contracts for the 2017-18 school year.
June 2017: First time elected officers and representatives met in-person in Los Angeles in conjunction with the CTA State Council.
Administrative Union Training
In addition to the above, CVEU hosted 4 Town Hall meetings for its' members, issued a monthly newsletter, held many phone banks and most importantly halted several attempts at changes to our work day. We are proud of these accomplishments and will continue to work hard on our members' behalf next school year. If you have any ideas of what you would like to see from CVEU in the future, please contact us as all opinions are welcome.
As part of a settlement between CAVA and CVEU in relation to an unfair labor practice filed by CVEU, CAVA administration agreed to attend management training on collective bargaining law and best practices for positive labor/management relations in charter schools. CVEU received a letter from CAVA's lawyer, Jim Young on May 15th stating that CAVA administration completed this training. We were sent a copy of the training slides, which addressed best employer practices for positive labor relations, summaries of unfair labor practices, rights of employees and employee organizations, and the duty to bargain in good faith. Included in the training was the specific acknowledgement of our rights as CAVA teachers to organize, form, join and participate in protected union activities.
For a copy of the slides that were presented during the training please find them on the Union SharePoint site: https://k12inc.sharepoint.com/sites/WR/CMS/Union/_layouts/15/DocIdRedir.aspx?ID=MV6KCYFY2TN4-2042938214-192
Did You Know?
If you are called into a disciplinary meeting you have the right to have a union member present. In addition, if a meeting becomes disciplinary you have the right to stop the meeting and request it to be rescheduled with your union representative present. If you do not know who your union representative is, please email Michelle Thornburg at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Teacher layoff Update
Last February many of us at CAVA were stunned to hear that teachers were being laid off with little to no warning. CVEU reacted immediately to this by reaching out to April Warren, CAVA's Head of Schools, and demanding more information on this topic including school financial documents that lead to this decision and the process in which CAVA laid off teachers. The union also requested that CAVA cease laying teachers off until this information was provided to CVEU and a discussion concerning the layoffs took place. This pause in the layoff process gave teachers and extra four days notice before they were let go and it gave CVEU time to investigate the reasons behind the layoffs and to discuss layoff process and rehiring process with CAVA.
What we found was that CAVA was experiencing low enrollment and low attendance rates fall semester. Yet, CAVA continued transferring students to Insight School and did not take action to retain the enrolled students. We were informed that teachers were laid off based on both evaluations and hire date. CVEU stated and will maintain the stance that a reduction in the amount of money sent to K12, nearly 40% of CAVA's total budget, needs to be made to ensure CAVA is providing our students with a teacher to student ratio that is beneficial to students.
April Warren informed us during a bargaining meeting that CAVA prioritizes rehiring teachers who have been laid off due to budget cuts. She stated that this just made sense because these teachers have already been trained. At a later meeting CVEU asked if teachers who were laid off were notified that new positions were open and April Warren did not give a clear answer. We asked teachers who were laid off if they were notified of the open teaching positions with CAVA and they informed us that they only received a link to edjoin with a notice that CAVA was opening positions for next year.
Unfortunately, we later found out that the teachers who applied for these positions were then turned down for the job. This is a clear indication that CAVA does not follow through with their promises to staff and that they are willing to let good teachers go with no intention of rehiring them.
This was a difficult time for the teachers who were laid off, students who were shuffled around without notice and for teachers who were left to pick up the pieces. At the last bargaining session we submitted an article detailing the layoff and rehiring procedures to CAVA administration as well as K12 administration. We believe that if teachers are being laid off for economic reasons, then there is no reason why they should not have their positions back once they are available again. In addition, there should be a transparent procedure to the layoff process with proper notice to teachers and students. CVEU recently submitted a letter to April Warren confirming that two teachers who were laid off were notified by CAVA that they were not being considered for their former position. The letter also stated that two other teachers who applied for their former positions have yet to receive a response from CAVA. Lastly, CVEU requested a list of all teachers who were laid off, including their contact information.
How Does a Strike Happen?
Contract bargaining is an extensive process. Bargaining in "good faith" is important as it means that both parties are willing to come to an agreement. If bargaining comes to a point where both sides have exhausted all opportunity for movement, the parties will declare Impasse, which triggers a mediator for bargaining. In Mediation, a neutral third party is brought in to push both sides to reach a compromise. A mediator is simply an advisor and cannot make decisions for either side. If mediation fails to break the impasse, the mediator will release the parties to Fact Finding. In fact finding, each side makes a presentation on their behalf to the three person panel (one person for each side and one neutral party). The fact finders analyze the facts of the bargaining process with the goal of recognizing a potential compromise and will make a recommendation in a report. Neither party is bound by these recommendations. Once the report is given, the employer can implement their final offer. If the final offer is not accepted, the union may then strike.
CVEU Bargaining Update (May 3rd)
The information below is from our May 3rd bargaining session. An update from our session on June 6th will be sent to membership soon.
During each negotiation session, articles that represent different areas of our employment contract are presented by each side to provide a starting point for further negotiation. At this stage, we have nine articles still in the process of negotiation, and nine articles that have been agreed upon and are awaiting final ratification. Charter School Rights, Evaluation Procedures, Grievance Procedure, Leaves of Absence, Organizations and Security Dues, Recognition, Safety, Savings Clause, and Union Rights have all been completed. This leaves some of the really tough articles still in process. At this point, almost every article is now in CAVA's court. Your CVEU union is still working on some of the language for our Layoffs article, and we were given a very loosely constructed Benefits article during last bargaining session on May 3rd. It is not clear if it is the finished product or if CAVA will continue to improve on that article in the future. That leaves CAVA holding the following articles; Assignments and Vacancies, Caseload/Workload, Discipline and Dismissal, Employment Status, Salaries, and Work Day/Work Year. Term will be determined at the end of negotiations. We are hoping to see multiple articles from them at our next bargaining session on May 31, 2017. If not multiple articles, then movement on one of the biggest articles, such as salary, would be encouraging.
Update on June 6th bargaining was presented in video format in the Facebook Watercooler and will be emailed out to all CVEU members soon. If you have not done so already please ask to join the Facebook Watercooler for the latest information on what is happening at CAVA.

LOS ANGELES - Gwyneth Paltrow feels like a ''21-year-old'' now she is planning her wedding.
The 'Goop' founder can't wait to marry her fiancé Brad Falchuk and is excited about ''everything'' to do with her big day. She said: ''I'm excited about everything! I've never had a wedding before. So even though I'm 45, I sort of feel like a 21-year-old.'' And the 45-year-old actress is enjoying getting her friends involved in the planning too.
She told People magazine: ''We haven't really started making any formal plans [but] it's kind of fun to talk about with my girlfriends. They send me pictures of dresses - they're as excited about it as I am. It's pretty cute.''
Meanwhile, Gwyneth previously admitted she doesn't imagine she'll have a ''big'' wedding with Brad and instead would prefer a low-key ceremony.
She said: ''I think I'm [too] old to have a big wedding and a big ole white dress and all that. I gotta dial it back.''
Despite her marriage looming, Gwyneth - who has Apple, 13, and Moses, 11, with her ex-husband Chris Martin - has confessed she has a fear of intimacy.
She explained: ''It's a life-long project. I think that there are certain people who have a really hard time with intimacy. I always say, I'm a good sister. I'm a good daughter. I'm a good girlfriend. I'm a good mother. That romantic slice of the pie chart of my life has always been where I find my deepest work ... I just am trying to towards intimacy instead of being scared of it and I'm really lucky that I found a partner that's patient and loves me and is willing to help me with my process.''

Amazon is Now Worth More Than Every Store in the Mall Combined
Content originally published at iBankCoin.com
Everyone knew Amazon was crushing retail, dating back at least a decade. But for some reason, very few went through with the easiest pair trade of all time — long AMZN, short shopping mall operators. What a simple, yet brilliant, trade. Is it not?
Here's an old market cap chart of when Amazon topped Walmart. Now it's worth two Walmarts.
Here's another old chart that captures the spirit of Amazon's sales explosion. The current annual run rate is in excess of $140b.
So how does Amazon's $143b in annual revenues stack up against other retailers?
According to Exodus, there are 31 companies in the Apparel Stores industry, the names you're all familiar with when shopping at the old dead mall, whose sales equal $107b combined, with net income of $13.6b. Their composite market caps are $81.69b, the inversion of the price/sales ratio is indicative of an industry in duress.
Amazon's $143b in annual sales and net income of just $9b is rewarded with a market capitalization of $469b.
Think about that for a moment. The entire shopping mall, sporting +1.1% quarterly revenue growth, does more net income than Amazon, on 40% less in revenues, and yet Amazon is valued at 5x what the entire mall is being sold for on the market today.
The Department Stores are an even worse comparison. TJX, M, KSS, SHLD, DDS, JCP, SRSC, SHOS and BONT combined do revenues of $129b, netting $10.17b in income, yet the composite market caps are just $68b on -4.5% quarterly revenue growth.
I get Amazon is the future and they're growing at 22% per annum. But is it worth more than all the department stores and apparel stores combined 3x over?
And now for the most egregious juxtaposition: Amazon vs the Discount/Variety Store industry.
The Discount Variety stores include WMT, TGT, COST, DG, DLTR, BURL, PSMT, BIG, FRED and TUES. An impressive set of retailers, no doubt. Together, they sport sales of $729b with net income of $51b, enjoying median quarterly revenues growth of nearly 5%.
Their market caps combined equal $389b. If you threw in another COST, you might get to match Amazon's market cap.

2017 McLaren Super Series Reveal; Teaser Before Geneva Show
2017 McLaren Super Series Reveal; Teaser Before Geneva Show
After announcing that the heir of 650S and 675LT will have a new shell in carbon fiber, which limits the dry weight to 1,283 kilograms, McLaren has revealed another detail of the new McLaren Super Series to be presented in March at the Geneva Motor Show (March 9-19).
McLaren Super Series Design
More downforce, less resistance. This is the aerodynamics, which will have 50% higher downforce than the McLaren 650S, while offering less rolling resistance and ensuring a more cooling of the engine. This has been achieved thanks to various measures, including the innovative design of the doors, that reflect the characteristic shape of a dihedral than the McLaren P1 and include a canal that forces the air flow coming from the bonnet and the fenders to the radiators in the engine compartment, while turbulent flow coming out of the front wheel is channelled into the side of the door.
Even the spoiler hampers. Active rear spoiler not only increases the load on the rear, but at high speeds can act as Airbrakes positioning itself to its maximum angle of inclination in less than half a second, improving stability under braking.
McLaren Super Series Engine
Always with tBiturboiturbo. The McLaren Super Series House did not supply other data on the car, which, however, probably will adopt an enhanced version of the current V8 biturbo of 3.8 litres adopted by all McLaren.

Chapter 352: Gathering of the Strong
Xiao Chen was no stranger to this feeling. In the past, when his Dragon and Tiger Body Sculpting Art advanced, his strength increased as well. After that, his body needed some time to adjust.
However, a ten percent increase in speed was not significant. After five minutes, Xiao Chen got used to his new speed. He slowly pushed open the door and walked out.
Liu Ruyue looked at Xiao Chen, dressed in white robes, and her eyes lit up. She smiled gently and said, "I did not expect white clothes to suit you so well. I feel that you should keep wearing white in the future.
Xiao Bai, who had just emerged from her room, stretched her body. When she saw Xiao Chen dressed in the white robes, she ran over, smiling. She said, "Elder Brother Ye Chen, you look really handsome today."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly, "Very well, I will listen to you two. I will wear white in the future."
After the three washed up and had breakfast, Lui Suifeng rushed over to Xiao Chen's courtyard with Xiao Meng and Shao Yang.
When Liu Suifeng saw Xiao Chen, he stepped forward to pat him on the shoulder. However, when he recalled his previous bitter experience, he quickly pulled back. He smiled, "Ye Chen, you look good today. You will definitely be victorious with a single move, making a name for yourself. Who knows; they might nickname you the 'White Robed Bladesman.'"
Liu Ruyue stood at the side and said, "Don't just talk about Ye Chen. You have to put on a good performance today. Don't embarrass out Qingyun Peak."
When Liu Suifeng heard this, he quickly changed the topic. He smiled embarrassedly and said, "Let's stop speaking. We should quickly get to the Heaven Viewing Platform."
Liu Suifeng led the way while Xiao Chen and the others followed closely behind. After they descended the Peak, they immediately headed for the Heaven Viewing Platform.
The group met a stream of people along the way; they were all disciples making their way to the Heaven Viewing Platform. This time, almost all of the disciples, including those in isolated cultivation and experiential training, returned to the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. There were many more people than there were at the core disciple exam.
The crowds bustled along the way. The sounds of discussions never stopped.
Countless Spirit Beasts flew through the sky, all heading for the Heaven Viewing Platform; they almost completely covered the sky.
Aside from the disciples of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, many of these Spirit Beasts belonged to the small powers who were invited. The larger powers would possess their own warships. They would not ride flying Spirit Beasts. Even if they did, they would ride Rank 6 Spirit Beasts, complementing their statuses.
Occasionally, a few strong auras flew by above. The normally hard-to-see Martial Kings actually appeared in great numbers today.
With one quick glance, one could see several peak Martial Kings.
Suddenly, a very strong aura flew by above. It was an old man dressed in black robes, carrying a youth and flashing by in the air.
When Xiao Chen felt this aura, he could not help but take another glance. The feeling this person gave him was like a sword tearing through the air. Its radiance shone everywhere; it was unstoppable.
Even though it was unintentional, when that person released his aura, Xiao Chen felt a horrifying pressure.
"The one who just passed seems to be Feng Xuanyi. I did not expect him to come personally. The youth he carries is probably his grandson. Rumor has it that he has an astonishing talent. He is probably coming to try his luck."
"The allure of the Holy Land is great. I remember, in the past, the Sect Master of the Misty Sword Sect wanted to take his grandson in as his final disciple. However, this old man rejected the offer."
"That goes without saying; how can the Misty Sword Sect compare to a Holy Land? It is not even worth mentioning."
The people beside Liu Suifeng discussed as the old man passed them.
When Xiao Chen heard them, he felt curious. He asked Liu Suifeng, "Who is this Feng Xuanyi? He seems quite famous."
Liu Suifeng explained, "That person is a famous swordsman in the Great Qin Nation. He is already a Martial Monarch, despite being only seventy. According to rumor, there is a possibility he will become a Sword Sage soon. However, he is independent and is not under the control of any power."
No wonder that person could cause Xiao Chen to feel so much pressure. So, he was a Martial Monarch of the sword. The Holy Land had a great reputation, indeed. Even a cultivator who could become a Sword Sage could not resist the temptation.
As they continued, they saw other peak experts like Feng Xuanyi.
There were even more half step Martial Monarchs. Xiao Chen saw several dozens. As Liu Suifeng had said, all the experts of the Great Qin Nation were present.
At the foot of Heaven Viewing Platform, it was impossible to find flying Spirit Beasts for transport. There was simply too many people.
The moment the disciples with flying Spirit Beasts landed, a large crowd immediately surrounded them.
When Liu Suifeng saw all this, he sighed and said, "It looks like we can only walk up. With our speed, if we rush, we could arrive in four hours."
Liu Ruyue commented, "There is no need to go to that trouble. Xiao Chen and I can carry two people each. Although it would be slower than flying at full speed, it is much faster than traveling on foot."
That was a good idea; Xiao Chen could carry Liu Suifeng and Shao Yang, and Liu Ruyue could carry Xiao Meng and Xiao Bai. They could fly up together.
After an hour, the six slowly landed on the Heaven Viewing Platform. There were even more people than at the foot of the Heaven Viewing Platform. The crowd almost separated the six.
There were countless massive arenas built on the largest drill ground. All of the arenas were built using the resilient Heavenly Mountain Stones and coated with a layer of Frost Iron.
This was an extravagant expenditure, using Frost Iron to coat the arenas. Only a large sect like the Heavenly Saber Pavilion could, most likely, afford such a thing.
Spectator stands of varying heights towered around the arenas. Currently, cultivators already filled the spectator stands. Aside from the Heavenly Saber Pavilion Disciples, there were cultivators from various places. It was completely packed with people.
They had extended the platform at the frontmost part of the drill ground. It was now triple its previous size.
There was a row of tables and chairs at the back of the platform. The members of the Elders' Assembly had taken their seats quite a while ago.
If one looked carefully, they would discover that the First Elder Jiang Chi, who normally occupied the middle seat, did not sit in his usual place. Instead, he sat at the side.
Simple, but stylish, tea tables rested on either side of the platform. There would be no problems seating a thousand people there.
The people of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion sat on the left side. Tianyue Peak was the closest to the platform, following them was Gangyu Peak, Jade Maiden Peak, and Qianduan Peak. The seven Peaks were arranged in order, from the strongest to the weakest.
Aside from Qingyun Peak, the people from the other six Peaks had already arrived. The Peak Masters of these Peaks had their own warships. It was not strange that they had arrived faster.
There were more tea tables on the right side. There were several dozens of them. Seated there were the big clans of the Great Qin Nation. Even the weakest had at least the same level of power as the White Water City's Jiang Clan.
The tea tables closest to the platform were currently empty. These were reserved for the noble clans with inherited Martial Spirits and great sects. Without having great backing or strength, one could forget about getting close.
"Old Pal Jiang, when will the Holy Land's people arrive?"
The person who spoke was the Sword Monarch, Feng Xuanyi. He sat on the right side and was currently the closest to the platform. Only a person of similar status would dare address the First Elder as Old Pal Jiang.
Jiang Chi was not angry at being addressed in such a way. This person's strength was greater than his; so, logically, he was considered a senior to him.
Jiang Chi smiled and said, "Brother Feng, don't be anxious. The Holy Land's people arrived yesterday. They are currently checking up on our Young Pavilion Master.
Feng Xuanyi lifted the teacup from the table and took a sip. He said, "I shall congratulate Old Pal Jiang in advance then. An absolute genius has appeared in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, reaching peak Inferior Grade Martial King at the age of seventeen. Your past glory will return soon."
"Indeed! Congratulations, Elder Jiang Chi," all of the Clan Heads and independent experts seated at the right side spoke together.
Jiang Chi smiled faintly and acknowledged this with a few words. He was clearly in a good mood.
At this moment, a completely black warship suddenly appeared in the sky. A black banner fluttered at the bow. The 'Ji' (姬) character decorated it in bold cursive calligraphy.
"The Nanling Province's Ji Clan has arrived. The one standing on the bow seems to be the genius of the Ji Clan, Ji Changkong." The spectators in the drill grounds exclaimed.
After a while, another warship appeared and slowly made its way to the platform. It was the Dongming Province's Hua Clan.
Not long after, a huge ice bird with an ice palace on its back flew over the crowd's heads.
"It's the Duanmu Clan's Profound Ice Palace. Duanmu Qing has arrived as well."
"The Royal Court's Guiyi Marquis, Ying Xiao has arrived. The Guiyi Marquis is a genius wielding a Holy Weapon. I wonder what his performance will be like today."
"The Night Spirit Palace's warship has arrived too. This means the two great geniuses of the Nanling Province, Mu Chengxue and Ji Changkong, have arrived."
"What the hell; the Misty Sword Sect's King Grade warship is here. Did their Sect Master come as well? The three great sects are all here. This is a first in the history of the Great Qin Nation."
The crowd's excitement grew. These strong clans and sects, the tyrants of their regions, were all present. Most importantly, the geniuses of these sects were here too.
More than a hundred geniuses had gathered in one place. The people below all felt extremely excited.
Soon, the tea tables on the right side filled with people. To no one's surprise, the tea table closest to the platform was occupied by the Misty Sword Sect, followed by the Night Spirit Palace.
The Sect Master of the Misty Sword Sect was not here; instead, their first elder, Ling Chen, had come. He was a half step Martial Monarch and was second to the Sect Master regarding authority; In terms of status, he was Jiang Chi's equal.
Ling Chen glanced at the nearby Feng Xuanyi. He smiled and said, "Senior Feng, our Sect master once personally came to you, wanting your grandson as his final disciple. Senior did not agree then. Yet, when the Holy Land comes, you came without invitation. This is not very appropriate, right?"
Feng Xuanyi's aged face was radiant; he did not look elderly at all. When he heard Ling Chen's words, he said indifferently. "This old me admires the Misty Sword Sect's Sect Master's achievements with swords. However, I do not revere them.
"My grandson's talent is greater than mine. He will certainly become a Sword Monarch. Without assurance of his becoming a Sword Sage, I will not let him join any sects. Teaching him myself would suffice."

Ahhhh, I'm finally seeing another project near the end. Just a little of the border to hook and fill in a couple 'vacations' that I noticed when taking it off the frame. Then steam and bind. The sheep on the right doesn't look just as I'd like it to look so might require tweaking to get the shape right and the legs how I want them.
Now where in the world am I going to put this rug? I'm running out of places on the floor and already have a few on the wall. Don't particularly want to sell it but just might offer it on my web site and take to my show in July to see if I get any interest. If not then guess I'll just swap out rugs every month or so.
The ones I offer for sale don't get enjoyed as they need to stay up and out of the way to keep them fresh. But for sure I will not give up rug hooking as I love it too much. So now as I hook the remaining border it will require my thinking about my next project...... hmmmmm.

Love it!ReplyDelete
You are on such a roll!
Always love coming to your blog. Can get my rug fix by enjoying all the great rugs you showcase. Wish my fingers could hook as fast as yours do. Oh, to have the problem of too many rugs and not enough space to display them. Sigh, maybe one day.
Haapy thoughts,
I love this one - it looks so peaceful.ReplyDelete

The strings of violins impose a play they hum and sing to the rhythms of my heart.
To a life and love sworn, to walk with me in this life,
I dedicate my love to you;
So I close my eyes, I can't believe, we've come from so far away
And now this life we are, our love is so close now.
And he, you, my special one, smiling back at me,
Leaving me with a sense and wander like never before
Me, with one more sweet breath taken from a kiss.
He, my one, my only, my almost sweet silent listener of my love,
Dedicate my life from this day on…
So close to my heart,
Is my love for you.

A Blackpool mum has described her gratitude to an heroic group of teachers who rushed to the rescue when she and her five-month-old baby got into trouble in the water.
Laura Gilderdale, 31, jumped into Fleetwood boating lake to rescue her three-year-old daughter Emily after she slipped and fell in while hunting for crabs on Monday.
But while the brave mum pulled her daughter to shore, the pram containing her second child, five-month-old Amelia, rolled into the water as well.
Laura quickly jumped back into the freezing lake, but got into difficulties after saving Amelia with the help of her friend, Kandy Cardwell.
Her screams were heard by a group of teachers from Fleetwood Nautical Campus and one student, who were carrying out training exercises on the lake and rushed to help.
John Bradbury, David Jordan, Cal Lewis, Graeme Williamson and student Phil Devoy pulled the struggling mum out of the water.
Phil then took off his own jumper and wrapped Amelia in it to warm her up.
Laura, a schoolteacher from Kempton Avenue, Blackpool, said: "It's a mother's worst nightmare. I was screaming 'get my baby out, get my baby out'.
"There are lots of 'what ifs', but thankfully we are completely fine thanks to the fast response of Kandy and the lifeboat people. If they weren't on that lake training that day, who knows what would have happened.
"Phil was absolutely amazing with Amelia. I owe them a huge thank you."
Laura and Amelia were taken to Blackpool Victoria Hospital to check for signs of secondary drowning, but were found to be unharmed.
Laura's husband, Antony, also 31, who was at work at the time of the incident, said: "They deserve the highest honour."
John Bradbury, who has worked with HM Coastguard for 37 years, said: "We heard a loud scream and realised there was a commotion going on so we all sprinted down the quay to where it was happening. We didn't know what was going on at first but soon realised a disaster was unfolding.
"When we arrived, the two children were thankfully back on the quayside, but the mother couldn't get out of the water so we assisted in getting her out and got them all back to the office to provide aftercare and warm them up. Our student Phil was also able to use his expertise in paediatric care to help look after the baby.
"When you work in this area you have the skills and training to provide assistance in rescue situations. We're just pleased we were able to help and the family were all OK."

Earth needs fuel to run its engine. Reseachers are hoping to determine nuclear fuel and radioactive power left inside the Earth's tank by 2025.
From volcanic activity to maintaining magnetic field to sliding tectonic plates, earth requires a force to keep things in balance. Like a hybrid car, earth gets its fuel from two sources, primordial energy and intense heat produced in radioactivity decay, a natural activity existing in Earth's core. But is the planet running out of its fuel?
To estimate the fuel left inside the earth, researchers have developed numerous models and simulations but their predictions sound no much better than guesses. Now a team of researchers from United States, Czech Republic and China boldly claims that they will be able to determine by 2025 how much nuclear fuel and radioactive power remain in the Earth's tank.
"I am one of those scientists who has created a compositional model of the Earth and predicted the amount of fuel inside Earth today," said William McDonough, one of the authors of the study from University of Maryland. "We're in a field of guesses. At this point in my career, I don't care if I'm right or wrong, I just want to know the answer."
Researchers will calculate actual amount of fuel inside the Earth using geoneutrinos. Geoneutrinos are particles produced by radioactive decay within the Earth. They also result from nuclear reactions within stars, supernovae, black holes and nuclear reactors used at power plants. But the hardest part of the project is extracting the antineutrons from the depths of the Earth. It requires a huge detector to dig a mile beneath the ground to locate geoneutrinos and they can reveal both the amount of uranium and thorium inside the Earth and heat in the Earth's interior. But so far the data about antineutrons is very limited, which is unable to yield accurate results.
Researchers are hoping that the data will expand by 2022 with the inclusion of three more detectors - SNO+ detector in Canada and the Jinping and JUNO detectors in China and they will help improve their understanding of fuels left inside the earth.
"Once we collect three years of antineutrino data from all five detectors, we are confident that we will have developed an accurate fuel gauge for the Earth and be able to calculate the amount of remaining fuel inside Earth," said McDonough.
"Knowing exactly how much radioactive power there is in the Earth will tell us about Earth's consumption rate in the past and its future fuel budget. By showing how fast the planet has cooled down since its birth, we can estimate how long this fuel will last."
The study was published in journal Scientific Reports.
