Chihuahuas' Cordero turns in four-hit night
Padres No.12 prospect compiles third multi-hit game in four days
By Alex Kraft / MiLB.com | September 1, 2017 2:05 AM
Franchy Cordero showed Thursday night just how far he has come as a hitter this season.
San Diego's No. 12 prospect went 4-for-4 with a pair of doubles and an RBI as Triple-A El Paso defeated Fresno, 5-1, at Southwest University Park.
Cordero singled up the middle in the first inning and later smacked an RBI double to right with one out in the third. After doubling to left to lead off the fifth, he wrapped up his seventh four-hit game of the season by beating out an infield single to second base in the seventh. In all four plates appearances, the 22-year-old reached base in three or fewer pitches.

"The timing has been a little here and there, but it was there tonight. He busted a couple [pitches] his first couple at-bats and put some good swings on balls," Chihuahuas hitting coach Morgan Burkhart said. "He didn't hit them great, but by putting good mechanical swings through the balls, he got some love from them."
On May 2 this season, Cordero's average had dipped to .207. Since that day, the native of the Dominican Republic has not hit lower than .337 in a full month. After collecting four hits and improving to 10-for-18 in his last four games against the Grizzlies, he upped his average to .323 to move into a tie for eighth in the Pacific Coast League batting race -- 17 points behind Colorado Springs' Ivan De Jesus Jr.
Over the last handful of games, Burkhart said he has seen his charge as focused as ever.
"He's locked in and he's working hard," the coach said. "This series, he's been really good with two strikes. When he has those good battles, he's got a good ability to see a soft pitch, recognize it and stay on it quite well. That's given him some really quality at-bats."
Cordero made his Major League debut in May before returning for a second stint in late July. He spent 30 games in the big leagues, batting .228 with three homers and nine RBIs. Since returning to El Paso on July 23, the 2011 international free agent has hit safely in 24 of 34 games.
While Burkhart said the young outfielder built some positive experience this year, he added that the learning process will continue once the season ends.
"He's still growing up," the former big leaguer said. "He still just needs AB's. The talent is there. It's an unbelievable talent. The strength he has in his bat, plus it's a pretty clean swing and he runs like the wind. We're putting all that together and getting some experience and hopefully he keeps getting better.
"Going to the big leagues was great. I think it got his focus to, 'OK, here is what I need to do.' He's a hard worker. Put it all together as he grows and gets experience, and I think he's going to be a pretty good player."
Nick Buss added a solo homer for the Chihuahuas while Rafael Ortega doubled twice and drove in two runs.
Starting pitcher Chad Huffman (3-1) allowed a run on four hits while walking two and striking out four over six innings for El Paso.
Fresno's David Martinez (7-12) gave up three runs on seven hits and a walk with five punchouts over four frames.

Discipline and training are not the same thing.
They are approached differently. Discipline happens at the "scene of the crime" and is generally punitive. Training attacks that same issue in all the calm hours before the next incidence of it, and again some time after the next incidence of it.
Training educates the child in the winning concept, and gets the child to buy into it on a mental level rather than on an emotional one. In the middle of an "episode," children are dominated by their emotions and can't see straight. Training anticipates the problem, prepares the child for the problem, and thoroughly involves schooling them on the particular character issue involved. Training uses multiple channels of instruction. For example, a parent might draw stick figures on paper to help the child see the dynamic outside of himself, objectively. Or, point it out when it is happening—or not happening—between other people. A parent can do "dress rehearsals" and practice sessions over any issue.
It works like this: If the child is perhaps sluggish at coming when you call, then you might have "coming lessons" at a calm time. A mom could say, "Go to your room. Mommy is going to whisper for you to come. Let's see how fast you can drop what you are doing and come quickly. Let's practice it over and over now several times in different places." Now you would take your children outside and let them walk to the other side of the yard, and then you say "come" very calmly, and they must come quickly and not dawdle. So, with the screaming you might approach it in a number of ways.
Show your child how you are going to take something from Daddy and Daddy doesn't scream. Ask him, "What if Mommy screamed every time Daddy wanted something?" You might sketch out some disturbing dynamic happening between two stick figure siblings and might show two different outcomes on two different sheets of paper…one child's face happy and the other's all contorted over the same problem.
You might say, "Now we are going to practice…now I'm going to hand you something, and we are going to practice having Mommy take it from you and then we'll practice it again, having your brother politely ask and take it from you…and we are going to watch you cheerfully let go." Once a parent gets the concept of training for the future episode over that same issue, it is easy to think of 1,000 applications…and over time they get to be quite creative.
This is tedious, but the results are well worth it!

Mormon Mentions: Fiona Barton
If you're not sure what a Mormon is, let alone a Mormon Mention, allow me to explain: My name is Susan and I'm a Mormon (you've seen the commercials, right?). As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (commonly known as the Mormon or LDS Church), I'm naturally concerned with how my religion is portrayed in the media. Because this blog is about books, every time I see a reference to Mormonism in a book written by someone who is not a member of my church, I highlight it here. Then, I offer my opinion—my insider's view—of what the author is saying. It's my chance to correct misconceptions, expound on principles of the Gospel, and even to laugh at my (sometimes) crazy Mormon culture.
In The Widow, a debut novel by Fiona Barton, Detective Inspector Bob Sparkes is looking into the disappearance of a 2-year-old girl. He and a sergeant knock on the door of a person of interest in the case:
When he [Mike Doonan] cracked open the door onto the walkway, it was not his Good Samaritan neighbor with his Saturday delivery of lager and sliced bread but two men in suits.
"If you're Mormons, I've already got enough ex-wives," he said, and made to close the door."
(quote from Page 77 of uncorrected proofs)
You'd be surprised how many times police procedurals mention detectives knocking on doors being mistaken for Mormon missionaries. It's the clean-cut, suit-wearing thing, apparently. This particular mention, with its not-very-subtle reference to polygamy, made me laugh out loud. Although plural marriage has not been practiced in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (the mainstream church is vastly different from its splinter groups, including fundamentalist sects that continue the practice) for over 100 years, the polygamy misconception/stigma remains. Even while I chuckle over this quote, I want to make one thing perfectly clear: members of the modern LDS Church do not practice polygamy. Okay? Okay.

About Me
I'm Ashhar Hasan, a recent graduate with a Bachelors in Computer Science from Jamia Millia Islamia. I live in New Delhi, India. I learned programming mostly in my early teens using various implementations of Microsoft BASIC and then later moved on to C++ and Visual Basic .NET on an assembled PC with a Pentium 3 (533MHz) machine that had 256MB of RAM. I now like working with C#, C++ and Shell Scripts. I am also proficient in Python and Java and am currently learning Ruby and TypeScript.
Why do you blog?
It's kind of a selfish reason but mostly just to keep track of the things I've been doing and things that I plan on doing. It also serves as a great place to share whatever knowledge and expertise I've gained through my own experiences. Hopefully other people will find these posts helpful, relevant, or interesting. I also beleive that blogging is a two-way conversation, so I encourage e-mails and comments, as long as they are on-topic mostly.
Why the crazy name unrelated to coding?
For one, it's marginally related to coding. Also because the phrase means "dangerous or unexplored territories", in imitation of a medieval practice of putting illustrations of dragons on uncharted areas of maps and that's what this blog tries to explore - "unexplored territories in programming and software development".
Where can I find you?
You can e-mail me at:
hashhar at outlook dot com
I have quite a lot of social media profiles and here's a list:
Here are some places not related to programming:

I have found this to be a great product doing everything advertised except didn't work with OPTUS.
I was initially wary of this product as it is half the price of similar but it works well.
Was easy to program once I got it on a Vodafone SIM.
Got it on 12v and it doesn't draw a lot of power.

Rock Island: What is the Make Music Happen Conference and how did it come into existence?
Paul Heppleston: Make Music Happen is a two-day songwriting and performance conference where young, aspiring musicians workshop their songs with experienced musicians. Students also learn about other aspects of music, such as DIY recording, professionalism, and sound/instrument choices. Make Music Happen came into existence while day-dreaming about next-steps for my performers. My youth music project, Mr. H Presents, already had several regular series on the go. Always keen to invite musician-friends into my classrooms, I have seen the effect visiting professional musicians have on students. Using Jerry Stamp as my sounding board (Jerry had already been a guest in a number my classes and at a number of my events), I got to work on the biggest undertaking I had ever faced. Since Mr. H Presents had, up to that point, operated on a zero-dollar budget, planning an event costing several thousand dollars made for a big lump in my throat.
RI: What kind of sessions are a part of the conference?
Mr. H: In small groups, students do three 90-minute songwriting workshop sessions, each with a different workshop leaders. This year's leaders were Adam Baxter, Bryan Power, Jody Richardson, and Kat McLevey - an exciting lineup, for sure. Though I give some suggestions about what could get covered in each, I don't want to be prescriptive. As long as the students get some insight into different songwriting methods, and get to try those methods out with a little feedback from the leaders, I'm happy. There are also four 30-minute sessions focused on various aspects of making music which are lead by local professionals like Dave Connors, Nick Hamlyn, and Tom Cochrane. Beyond the formal workshop sessions, there's a songwriters circle concert (featuring the four professionals), a student showcase (featuring the students themselves), and some downtime which, I was very pleased to see, lead to fervent practice and collaborations.
RI: Tell us a little bit about the talent that exists with young artists in this Province.
Mr. H: It shouldn't be a surprise to anybody who knows about the rich artistic tradition of Newfoundland and Labrador that there are young people making wonderful music. On a monthly basis, at our Open Stage for the Underage, students wow me with their skills, as vocalists, multi-instrumentalists, and composers; students have also impressed me with their willingness to step outside of themselves - to take chances on developing new skills. After almost six years doing shows in the Corner Brook area, I took my first show to Stephenville, and a whole new group of performers from that area wowed me too.
RI: This conference has been a success each year so far. Are there any plans for expansion in the future?
Mr. H: Well, since this was our first year running a two-day conference, nothing comes to mind right now - I'm pretty content with what we offered - but we will revisit that this winter when we start planning for Make Music Happen 4.
RI: What is the best part about working with these young musicians?
Mr. H: Music is such a big part of my life - it's a life essential, really - and I know how vital it has been to my growth as a person, so when I watch a young person performing, I'm also watching them grow. I love that I get to witness that. To be a part of their stories.

CSR Europe is collecting company views on transnational apprenticeship mobility through a new survey. As apprenticeship mobility is gaining momentum on the European agenda, more Erasmus funds will be allocated to support long-term mobility of apprentices. In effort to shape the future discussions and Erasmus+ offer in line with company realities, CSR Europe is gathering the business voice on how apprenticeship mobility can work in practice in company settings.
Following the launch of ErasmusPro, the European Commission is building the momentum on streamlining transnational apprenticeship mobility through increased investment in future Erasmus+ funding. These funds are made available once a year in October to mobility actors, including companies.
Yet, to make apprenticeship mobility a new norm in Europe, companies need to be part of the discussions on shaping future Erasmus+ programme. In response, CSR Europe is be gathering the business voices on how apprenticeship mobility can best work in a business context, where time and budget constraints can influence the practical implementation.
To do this a new survey has been launched to gather the business views on:
- Preferred length for mobility placements
- Available time & budget to realise mobility
- Relevance of mobility for business performance
- Key constraints to apprenticeship mobility
- Mobility related logistical challenges
Realised under CSR Europe's pilot project "Apprentices in Motion", the survey results will be featured in a final recommendation report for the European Commission in July 2019.
Take part in the survey!
Your company can now take part in the debate and help the European policy makers to understand better how apprenticeship mobility can work in a company context.
- Access survey here
- Who is it for = HR Managers
- How low will it take = 7-10 minutes
- What's the catch = Your views will feed into shaping future ErasmusPro offer in line with business needs
CSR Europe will be rolling out the survey through its members, national partners as well as partnering organisations from the European Pact for Youth (2015-2017) such as the Global Apprenticeship Network (GAN).
Save the date: Mobility of apprentices in Europe, 21-21 March, Brussels
The European Commission and the European Parliament will be organising a conference "Mobility of apprentices in Europe" on 21-21 March in Brussels. The event focuses on the transnational mobility of apprentices, taking stock of progress to date and looking ahead to improvements in the future. More information to follow.

Blue Dirt Girl's Little Conversations: An Evening of Music and Words
Historic Theatre
April 06th Doors @7pm, Show @ 8pm
Real. Honest. Sad. Funny. Whether they're in-depth talks or brief exchanges on the street, conversations are how we connect with the world.
Through her music, blue dirt girl unearths, unbuttons and examines all of her conversations—from her working and writing sessions with her bandmates to the regular Friday morning discussions with the women behind Thinking Ship poems and Sob Stories podcasts to the spontaneous chats she has with the people she meets throughout the day. Out of these little conversations come inspiration and collaboration.
On April 6th you have the rare opportunity to listen in on the conversation between the music of blue dirt girl and the poems of Thinking Ship; take a moment to engage with Sob Stories who will be collecting conversations for the podcast in the Founders' Lounge.
Start a conversation . . . it'll change your day.

I expected something big to happen in the Wide band-gap semiconductor RAP session on Tuesday afternoon. Attendees packed the place even though it was in the biggest room in the conference other than the Plenary. By the time I arrived, they had run out of beer so the audience was relatively quiet. Maybe the committee should have set a few more beers out on the panel table just to keep the audience a bit more argumentative. Alex Lido of Efficient Power Conversion Corp. threw out a bone to draw the rest of the panel in but they simply ignored it. The RAP session fizzled out after that.
The exhibition hall has been open since Monday for about four hours a day. This is one of the few conferences that does not have overlapping hours between the exhibition and technical sessions. As a result, the exhibition hall is full of people most of the time. But the real work with customers is behind the scenes.
During the Wednesday morning technical session on High Performance Devices in Circuits, Virginia Tech's grad, Yin Wang, showed a clever new method of using an LM5113 gate driver as a 5V floating power supply for another gate driver. Now that it's public, feel free to use it (see diagram from Dr. Khai Ngo and his student below). I do not believe this was the original purpose of the driver, but you do not need gate drive transformers with this method or even another isolated 5V power supply to drive the gates.

PalmPilot Creator Models Computer on Brain
RENEE MONTAGNE, host:
Mondays, we focus on technology, and today, the effort to replicate the technology we were born with.
(Soundbite of music)
The man whose company developed a smart phone wants to make computers even smarter. Jeff Hawkins' products include the PalmPilot and the Treo phone. One of his other companies has been trying to produce artificial intelligence. He starts by studying the human brain.
Mr. JEFF HAWKINS (Founder of Palm Computing, Handspring, Numenta): The most interesting part, from an intelligence point of view, is the near cortex. This is the big wrinkly thing on top. If you take the skull off, you see the wrinkly thing on top.
STEVE INSKEEP, host:
That wrinkly thing can perform tasks that even the smartest computers cannot. Anybody whose computer can copy brain functions will be doing big business, and Hawkins' company is one of many that are trying.
Mr. HAWKINS: A scientist I know has proposed that the grand challenge, the million-dollar prize ought to be a machine that can tell two objects apart visually; literally, cats from dogs.
That's how far we are from doing what humans can do today. So, we're building a vision system that we believe will perform quite well, and it'll be very much like a human vision system that you'd be able to show it pictures of things in any sort of form and variation, and it'll say, and I know what it is. It'll very instantly say, oh I know, that's a cat, that's a dog, that's a car, that's a refrigerator, or whatever.
INSKEEP: Is a prototype already built?
Mr. HAWKINS: We built a small-scale prototype. It's not a practical system, in the sense it only recognizes line drawings, and it only recognizes 50 different objects. But already, I believe, and I think other people would agree, that it's pretty impressive.
An average person on the street might look at it and say, gee, well you're just recognizing a line drawing of a helicopter versus a dog, and they say, isn't that easy? Well, it is easy for humans, but it's actually a major advance in terms of technology.
INSKEEP: Does the computer ever have that very human moment of self-doubt, where it says, "Cat, no, wait, wait, wait dog! No! Cat!"
Mr. HAWKINS: In some sense. You know, first of all, these machines are not talking, or anything like that. The way they tell you the answers, they give you a little chart, we put on the a display of the computer that says, the probability of each of the things it knows. And so, when it's confused, it's basically showing a lot of probabilities that are equally high. So it says, well, a 30 percent cat, 30 percent dog, 30 percent table, or something like that. And that's how it's saying it's confused. It doesn't talk in the way a human would do.
INSKEEP: So, let's say that you get this prototype, which frequently recognizes line drawings of real creatures and objects, and you develop it to the next step, where it cold see a real cat, or a real dog, or a real person. What are the practical applications of that?
Mr. HAWKINS: Think about all the photos that you have on your computer, for example. If you want to find pictures of your, you know, Aunt Beatrice or something, there's no way the computer can do that. Someone has to go in and what we call "tag" those pictures. If you search for images on Google, the way you search for it is that someone has sit, and written in the name or description of each picture out there.
INSKEEP: They'll search the photo captions on the picture, basically.
Mr. HAWKINS: That's right. Yes, but a human had to enter those captions. There's no computer today that can look at a picture and say, "Oh, this is a picture of a boat. And this is a picture of a radio, and this is a picture of a house." It just doesn't exist today.
And so, this would be a very practical thing just for personal, use or for search engines and so on. But it's really just the tip of the iceberg. If you understand what the technology is doing, it can be applied to many, many different types of problems.
INSKEEP: Hm. Such as?
Mr. HAWKINS: We've been approached by numerous car manufacturers, about a half-dozen of them, actually, who have research organizations, and they have cars which have sensors on them. They can easily put sensors around the car, like the new ones they have for backing up, or cameras, and so on. But they really, the car doesn't really know what's going on around it, or know what's going on inside of it. And you, if you were in a passenger seat, and you saw someone was very drowsy, you would be concerned about it. They would like the car to be able to do the same thing. The car would say, look, the driver's drowsy. Or, the car to be able to say, you know, there's an accident up ahead, I really ought to slow down, or someone's merging, this kind of thing.
INSKEEP: Can you tell me what pulled you, personally, from working on smartphones and devices like that, to this much broader and deeper question?
Mr. HAWKINS: What struck me is, when I was a teenager, I made a list of the really big questions, really interesting questions in the world, such as, you know, why does the universe exist? Nothingness seems more likely than somethingness. And then, going why are the laws of physics they are? And then the next one was, why is there life? And then the fourth big question was, well given that there's life, what is intelligence?
And, this was a problem that I felt we could solve in my lifetime, and that it would be a good thing. It would be just, it would be learning about the universe and learning about humanity, and that just couldn't be a bad thing.
INSKEEP: You were a pretty ambitious teenager.
Mr. HAWKINS: Yeah, I didn't tell too many people about it, because it sounded kind of crazy at the time, but…
INSKEEP: Doesn't get you a lot of dates.
Mr. HAWKINS: No, it doesn't, but I did work at it. In fact, I'm unusual, even though I've started three companies and one, three, four proper companies and one non-profit. Throughout all that time, I've worked part-time in the neuro-science field, just, you know, pursuing this goal.
INSKEEP: Well, Jeff Hawkins, thanks very much.
Mr. HAWKINS: Thank you, Steve. It's a pleasure.
INSKEEP: Jeff Hawkins is the founder of the company Numenta, and co-author of the book, "On Intelligence."

Space Jam 2 casts Don Cheadle in an unknown role. After years of lingering in development hell, a followup to the 1990s touchstone, Space Jam, is finally on the way. With a July 2021 release date in place, the film is currently in production under the direction of Terence Nance. Black Panther director Ryan Coogler is also a prominent member of the creative team, producing Space Jam 2 and co-writing the script. LeBron James headlines a cast of all-star NBA and WNBA players, which includes Anthony Davis, Klay Thompson, and several other famous faces from the sport.
Obviously, much attention was given to the basketball players appearing in Space Jam 2, but the movie is making room for traditional actors as well. Star Trek Discovery's Sonequa Martin-Green joined the film in March, playing LeBron's onscreen wife. And even though Space Jam 2 is in the midst of shooting, there are still some roles left to be cast.
According to Deadline, Cheadle has joined the Space Jam 2 cast, though details about his character are unknown at this time. Cheadle was last seen on the big screen in this April's Avengers: Endgame, where he reprised his role as James Rhodes/War Machine for the seventh time (including an uncredited appearance in the Captain Marvel post-credits scene).
Though most viewers these days will recognize Cheadle for his work in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, his career spans several decades and a wide variety of roles that showcased his range as an actor. Cheadle was nominated for an Oscar for his work in Hotel Rwanda, and he has several other awards nods to his name thanks to an extensive résumé in both film and television. Cheadle's demonstrated a penchant for both drama and comedy over the years, and is comfortable handling just about any material given to him. So, he should prove to be a natural fit in Space Jam 2, which will likely be more of a light-hearted film. As for characters he could play, Cheadle might be a member of LeBron's social circle, a sports agent, or someone else entirely. With his talents, it's hard to guess at this juncture.
Using the original Space Jam as a template, it wouldn't be hard to imagine Cheadle filling a role similar to what Bill Murray or Wayne Knight did in the first film. That being said, it's a bit premature to call Space Jam 2 a carbon copy of its predecessor that'll rehash the same story beats. The film is envisioned as a reboot of the property, not a sequel, and Coogler has demonstrated an ability to inject fresh life into sports movie franchises before (see: Creed). It wouldn't be surprising if Space Jam 2 mixed things up and put its own spin on the concept, while still paying respects to the first film.

By National Yemen
The Ministry of Human Rights prepared a team to visit Harad Port today to examine the condition of Yemenis returning from work projects in Saudi Arabia.
In a special press statement, Minister of Human Rights Houria Mashhoor appealed to the people of Saudi Arabia to protect the rights of foreign Yemeni laborers.
The Minister also called on international and local humanitarian organizations, the International Labor Organization (ILO) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to cooperate with high-level officials to help face the humanitarian disaster presented by the forced return of tens of thousands of Yemenis from Saudi.
In her remarks, Mashhoor explained that Yemenis returning from Saudi Arabia will substantially increase the burden on the Yemeni government, particularly during its current conditions. In addition, many of the returning workers are responsible for large families, which will greatly expand the scope of poverty if these returning workers are not able to find jobs as soon as possible. Moreover, the Minister called on workers in the private and foreign sectors to help solve this problem by giving returnees priority in employment according to their experiences and specialization.
She called on friends of Yemen to encourage investors to invest in Yemen in order to support the jobs needed to employ hundreds of thousands of Yemenis currently facing the unemployment crisis caused by the current economic recession.
According to Yemeni government sources, Saudi authorities have deported more than 25 thousand Yemeni workers beginning in the middle of October as part of the implementation of a new labor law. This new law has lost many Yemenis their jobs and residency status in Saudi.
Many Yemen analysts believe that the number of returning laborers could reach half a million in the coming period, which could cause significant economic problems in the country.
An official source at the Ministry of Yemeni Expatriates emphasized that the Kingdom's procedures in correcting its labor situation is a normal political act, and that its decisions are its own sovereign right. It was not aimed at illegal Yemeni workers alone, but rather at illegal workers from all over the world.
This largescale deportation of Yemeni workers comes at the same time as Yemen prepares to host the a conference on immigration from the Horn of Africa, to be held from today until the 13th of November.
A statement from the Security Media Center of Yemen's Interior Ministry on Saturday declared that some Yemeni returnees have faced difficult living conditions. The Ministry has helped these returning workers reach their families.

Thandanani is a Terrific Teacher
Midlands Community College in Nottingham Road has many`off-campus' activities that support teaching and learning of Maths and Science in under-resourced schools in the KZN Midlands.
One of its projects is a Mobile Science Laboratory which assists 50 schools that do not have a Science Lab. Six trained Lab Technicians go out daily to set up and demonstrate practical experiments from the science curriculum for over 5000 grade 10 -12 learners in surrounding rural schools. The technicians also help out at the College's Maths and Science Saturday School and on-campus Holiday School.
Thandanani Mdakane – one of the Lab Technicians tells his story:
My Name is Thandanani and I love physics a lot. After matriculating, I attended Midlands Community College where I upgraded my Maths and Physics results. I then took the job of becoming a lab technician.
Every morning from Monday to Friday we travel to different schools from Pietermaritzburg to north of Estcourt and towards the central Drakensberg. Our Mobile Lab was an Avanza, but we now have a bigger and safer vehicle for all the chemicals and equipment.
Our preparations for the journey start early in the morning. We split into teams to demonstrate Physical Science experiments for grades 10, 11 and 12. When I get to the classroom, I start by interacting with the pupils and sharing my personal experiences as a science student. In the demonstration I try to help as much as possible to demonstrate information in a practical way. This effort has impacted the learners' lives because they always say they have a better understanding after I have demonstrated. Teachers appreciate the help and always anticipate our next visit. It usually takes up a lot of time, often we only return late in the afternoon.
The most frequent challenge is the large number of learners in one class, so some struggle to see the demonstration closely. It is always better for learners to be `hands-on' and use our apparatus, but sometimes it just doesn't happen.
When I began this job I had to learn how to speak loudly, interact with learners, and not be shy. The way I handled my first day was one of my proudest moments in the job, thanks to the training I received and the effort that I put in during my preparations. It makes me so proud every day to know that I am helping disadvantaged communities by helping the learners. Every time I think about this I know that I am contributing to South Africa.
Last week the Midlands Community College was invited to participate in Hilton College's Vula Careers Day. Thandanani set up some experiments and many budding scientists took notes and watched with great interest. Thandanini has recently been awarded a bursary by the N3Toll Concession (who help fund the Mobile Lab Project) to study for a B.Ed in Maths and Science through UNISA.
Maths and Music.
Music Voyage was invited to perform at Shea O'Connor Combined School's first Maths and Science award evening held at the school on Friday, 29 January. The event was the organised by the HOD of Maths and Science, Mrs K Sewraj, who feels passionately that good achievement and hard work must be recognised. Certificates were given to learners who achieved in Technology, Natural Science, Maths Literacy and Core Maths.
The top learner for 2015, Thobeka Hlela, who achieved seven distinctions, was awarded a floating trophy sponsored by Nottingham Road Spar. The Good Fellowship award was presented to Tafadzwa Bero, a past Music Voyage musician. Tafadzwa, earlier in 2015, took part in the Eskom International Science Fair held in Pretoria and came first in his category, Environmental Science. He has been awarded a bursary to study at Stellenbosch University. Music Voyage is very proud of Tafadzwa and his achievements.
Current Music Voyage students who attend Shea O'Connor School provided musical entertainment for the guests. Everybody enjoyed the pieces our musicians chose to perform. Helen Mennie, director of Music Voyage says: "We would like to commend the staff of Shea O'Connor for a lovely evening of celebrations for students who are working hard to achieve high standards. Skills development, attitude and commitment are core values that Music Voyage believe in. Being acknowledged for your effort is incredibly motivating. Music Voyage is honoured to be associated with this award ceremony."
Singakwenza Swims!
Local charity, Singakwenza, was delighted to be one of the five main charities to benefit from the 8 Mile Event at the 2016 aQuellé Midmar Mile. Singakwenza had 25 swimmers, including their director, Julie Hay, swimming every event to raise funds for Early Childhood Education. "What an amazing team of swimmers again this year, and we are so grateful to all of them for using this event to raise money to provide sustainable Occupational Therapy services to children in crèches where we provide educational support," said Linda Hill, Fundraiser for Singakwenza.
How awesome is it when some real super heroes arrive to swim for you? Batman (aka Cablan Khaled) and Superman (aka Paul Barron) swam some of the events wearing their superheros gear!
"We want to say a huge thank you to all the swimmers and their fantastic supporters for making this an event to remember, and especially for the funds that they have all raised to ensure that we continue to change children's lives through education. What an epic weekend!" said Singakwenza Director, Julie Hay.

The answer is found in training children in the admonition of the Lord and when they grow old they will not depart from it. Thou shalt not kill is one of God's commands for people created in his image. As image bearers of God we should love one another, but this must be trained and taught to creatures who are by design sinners from birth and a nature driven toward sin. You drive this sin nature out of a child through discipline. Otherwise they grow old and gravitate toward one of the many commands that God told us not to break.

Six workers die after entering sewage-filled well in Bengal
Kolkata, March 30 (IANS) Six labourers died after getting into a sewage-filled well inside a factory in West Bengal's North 24 Parganas district, police said on Friday.
According to police, poisonous gas inside the well might have caused their death.
"Six labourers got inside a well in a paper factory in Naihati's Hazinagar area for cleaning work on Thursday evening. All of them were taken out in an unconscious state and later declared dead in hospital," an officer from Naihati police station said.
According to eye witnesses, two of the labourers first went into the long disused well filled with sewage and other waste material from the factory. When there was no response from them, the other four went in to rescue them but none returned.
Police was informed and police and fire brigade personnel rushed to the spot and pulled out the six unconscious men from the well.
"All six of them were sent to a hospital in Kalyani where four of them were declared dead. The remaining two also died at night," the officer said.
Police said lack of oxygen or presence of poisonous gas might have killed the labourers as they did not have any masks or protective gear.
"A case has been registered against the factory owners for making the labourers work without any precaution," police added.

Bake at 250 degrees for 10 minutes.
Sprinkle chips on top of hot pan and let sit for 10 minutes or longer. With a spoon, spread the softened chocolate across the top of the pan. You could top these bars with nuts, coconut or dried fruit, as well as add these to the dry ingredients.
Cool completely, cut and store in air tight container. This is a freezable recipe!

This game is quite good but not as great as Urbex!! This game came first so that is to be expected . This game is tense, atmospheric and clausterphobic . Who in their right mind would want to be a security guard at a mannequin storage facility? Certainly not me...
I really like your games. I made a video of this game. Also, you're the second developer I've ever seen who's also from Edmonton. Well, third, because I'd forgotten about BioWare.
I'm never working the nightshift again! Good and wellmade game!
Very nice prequel! :D Keep up the great games ^^
3D TV VR box google cardboard side by side sbs stereoscopic 3D
I don't get paid enough to work back shift in a mannequin factory!
I was so shook playing this game, like my hair's we're sticking up the whole time. I cannot wait for the full version. Here is my game play of this awesome game. (It ends at 5:03)
This game was really creepy, I wish you this game was complete. This game really reminded me of the 80s movie Maniac. I love it. Oh also I made a video about it, so there's that... Hope you enjoy!
This game was absolutely amazing! another game that has soooo much potential! please keep up the great work! :D
Short and sweet little atmospheric game! I liked it, can't wait to play Urbex. A longer, more full-length version of this game sounds like a great idea!
oh now i have got to try ubex!! GRET GAME!
Played the game found it creepy with the mannequins very good job.
very much enjoyed this game and mannequins will always be one thing that terrifies me... so stick me in a warehouse of them? All the nopes. I do wish the ending had a bit more but still job well done!
I know you say that Urbex is way superior to this game but, I feel this game has a certain charm to it. Not saying this game is better than Urbex. Just kind of feel this is right up there with Urbex. My heart would like to utmost thank you for not flat out jump scaring me like alot of other horror games. You had the jump sounds and, what not but, still my heart thanks you for not having anything directly really jumping out at me. Can't wait to see what your next project is!
This is pretty good. I really like everything about it, even the atmosphere put me on edge. Here's my playthrough of it. :D
The atmosphere in this game is pretty stunning, both figuratively and literally..
What dark secrets lurk around every hidden corner during the nightshift?
Let's find out...
hi, what a great game. i love it. the disturbing atmoshere, so creepy and scary. great. big thx and greetings from germany
The atmosphere of this game was absolutely phenomenal, especially if you already find mannequins disturbing (and really, who doesn't?).
This Game is really scary and dosnt use jump scares
Really Loved this game! I like how it was more of a study of game mechanics and less than an actual narrative with an ending! I also like how you released this after urbex to give us an idea where your thought process came from in constructing it! Kind of gives urbex a lore!
Here is my video good Dev!!!
I really enjoyed this game! I thought it had great atmosphere and the visuals were awesome! I am a firm believer in atmosphere in horror games is what makes it and this had it!
Great little game!
This game was insanely unnerving even though nothing jumped out at me. The tension in the atmosphere was perfect. I'll definitely be trying out Urbex in the future if it's anything like this. I made a video of my experience, and since I had an appropriate prop handy, threw in a little funny surprise during my outro!
Interesting style and nice tension to the game. A nice clean demo... :)
I will one hundered percent be trying out Urbex next for my YouTube channel! Here is the link to the video I made of Midnight Shift
Hey again, I really enjoyed Urbex when you released that so I thought I'd give this game a try as well. I was pleasantly surprised, I can definitely see the progression that you've made as a creator going from this game to Urbex but this is also a very good game.
The game has a tense and mysterious atmosphere to it, with a solid build up to the spooks. Visual wise, it's decent, but the sound is excellent which I consider a must for horror games.
Overall it's a good game. The mannequins are as creepy as ever and always give me a fright, and the atmosphere and sounds both add to the horror experience. It's a horror game that is short and sweet.
I hope you don't mind, but I recorded a short let's play of my time with the game.
Cheers and best wishes to you, I look forward to seeing how you progress as a creator in your future projects!
This was frightening. The atmosphere and build up of tension really got to me.
The sound effects were used quite well, and I'm grateful that there weren't any cheap jumpscares. Even without that to rely on, this game manages to find a way to be fear inducing and outright creepy. I personally think this is on par with Urbex. They both have a consistent quality to them. I like the little notes scattered around, but I do wish there was just a tad more of them.
Regardless, great job on the game! I liked it and enjoyed it tremendously. ฅ/ᐠ。ᆽ。ᐟ \
.....Ish shyo spooky though.... ( ゚ω゚;)
All i can say is dam them manikins i love them but hate them it was pretty good i enjoyed it cant wait to see what you do next :D
I checked you game out! I really enjoy it! lemme know when you release a full game!
It's weird I actually preferred this to Urbex, I think it was the found footage style that made it stick out for me.
This is really well made. I love the visuals and the environment. Pretty creepy as well.
I'll have toi give Urbex a try too.
my playthrough:
this game was amazing it was and I made a gameplay
subscribe here:www.youtube.com/channel/UC87ACz99Buum0tospPSQSbA
Hey, here's my gameplay of this game! I kept calling it night shift though, still, great game!
Great stuff again PDdev, I enjoyed that just as much as Urbex. The flashing lights and tracking mannequin heads were particularly unsettling. Nicely done!
I can see why you think Urbex is 'superior' although both are short, if not this one shorter by a bit, I do like the atmosphere - I only wish there was more variety and a longer length to go with the atmosphere that I feel you're good at achieving. Hope the title and video gives you and any viewers a laugh.
"I only wish there was more variety and a longer length to go with the atmosphere that I feel you're good at achieving."
Yeah, that was the intent of Urbex. I was actually in the process of remaking this game, but I felt that a different setting was the way to go. Thanks for the vid!
Urbex was a 'biiit' longer, but not by a lot - something more or less I'd say, 30 minutes would be solid? If possible without sacrificing quality. And no problem, can't wait to see what's next ;)
Gave it a go...
Very creepy game. kept me on my toes the entire time. good job

25 Apr The Four "C's" of Leadership – Courage, Character, Competence and Conversation
We recently asked our Vice President, Vickie Kopf, to share her thoughts on leadership and what it means to her and the Kopf family. Vickie is a true asset to us, and we are blessed to have her.
The Four "C's" of Leadership
Courage, Character, Competence and Conversation
Authored by: Vickie Kopf, VP of Kopf Logistics Group
I like the story of Deborah and her courage and wisdom in the book of Judges in the Bible. God gifted and used her in many different ways to help out her people, the people of Israel. Deborah loved God, her people, and her country, and she stood firm in her convictions. She was a woman of exceptional achievements! She had excellent speaking abilities and a knack to motivate and encourage people to get closer to God, instilling in them a confidence to trust God and believe that He would act on their behalf. She trusted in God's Word even if the circumstances around her were not going well. She honored God in all of her relationships. Deborah's story encourages me very much and I can only strive to lead even a little bit like her!
Having a good reputation is important. But our character defines who we are by how we respond to the situations and circumstances of life. It shows us how we deal with things and how we deal with others. When considering my own character, these questions come to mind: How do I treat those around me? Do I love them or retaliate against them? Am I a blessing to others, or a stumbling block? Character is something that should be held tightly on the inside, but others will see on the outside. My daily prayer is that God would build distinctive qualities within me that will help determine my positive response to situations regardless of my circumstance. Further, I pray that a victim's mentality would never permeate my life.
The quality of being able to perform an allotted function. The ability to do something well. These are dictionary definitions of competence. They all involve a certain amount of knowledge and and skill. But I think that competence should also come with a certain amount of wisdom as well. You see, knowledge and wisdom are very different things. Knowledge is information gathered through experience or reasoning. Wisdom, on the other hand, is the ability to discern or judge what is true, right, and lasting! HOW we use the knowledge we have been given and how we apply it to our lives is wisdom in action. I like to use the following example that I recently heard from one of my mentors: knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, and wisdom is knowing not to put a tomato in a fruit salad. So, here is my prayer: "Lord, please help me to never put a tomato in my fruit salad!!!"
Lastly, conversation is so important in the workplace and also in leadership. It connects, aligns, and makes us accountable to ourselves and others. It gives everyone a voice and can get us moving in the same direction. Conversation is also a place where we can learn and discover things about ourselves and others! I like to listen and then ask questions like: What happened? What are you learning from that experience? How can you take that to heart? Open-ended questions create space for personal discovery and can help address motives and roots of behavior.
We are grateful for Vickie's leadership and her commitment to our team!

Our Ami-Chien consultant can tackle a number of canine behaviour issues in the comfort of your home
As well as coming in a variety of shapes and sizes, dogs can also demonstrate a wide range of behaviours, some of which are a little less desirable than others. However, it doesn't matter if your companion is dominant, anxious or scared of loud noises, our Ami-Chien consultant can help you train your pet so that they are relieved of their unwanted qualities.
Ami-Chien training – roughly translated as 'wolf-pack' training – focuses on where your animal is within the family (or 'pack.') By examining the psychology between you and your companion, our consultant Liz is able to identify which areas need to be focussed on to alleviate your dog of certain behavioural issues.
I have seen this type of training work over and over again. By taking a number of different factors into consideration, including how the dog is treated by the family – are they babied or treated quite firmly for example – I am able to tailor a session that will benefit both the animal and it's owners.
Ami-Chien training is a popular type of dog training as it takes a very sensitive approach and is conducted in your pet's home, where they are comfortable. The sessions range from a couple of hours to an entire day, but the results are often hugely successful

More than 26 years have passed since Daimler-Benz AG (now Daimler AG) selected Tuscaloosa County, Alabama, as the home for its first passenger vehicle plant outside of Germany. Mercedes-Benz U.S. International, Inc. (MBUSI) is now deep into its second chapter of life, creating new products and expanding its impact on the Tuscaloosa community and the State of Alabama.
Initially, only one vehicle was produced in the plant – the M-Class sport utility vehicle. The M-Class exceeded all expectations and more than 570,000 were built during the vehicle's eight-year life cycle. That success paved the way for multiple expansions over the years. Today, the plant is producing the GLE, GLS and GLE Coup Sport Utility Vehicles for all worldwide markets, and the C-Class for North America.
Most recently, an additional $1 billion was announced to expand the plant's footprint in the region. Mercedes-Benz plans to produce electric vehicles in the United States and to build a battery plant. Once completed, these investments will create more than 600 additional jobs. Mercedes-Benz will start producing SUV models of the EQ brand in Tuscaloosa at the beginning of the next decade. EQ models will be integrated into the series production at the plant.
More than 3,800 employees currently work at the location, and it is estimated the plant creates more than 20,000 indirect jobs at suppliers and other service providers in the region. Since 1995, more than $6 billion US dollars have been invested in the Tuscaloosa plant.
