My husband and I live 45 minutes from Salt Lake City, Utah. Our family lives there including all shopping centers ect.
When we go, we kennel Sadie and Cesar, I don't like leaving them outside, plus its SEVERELY hot out there. Were gone about 6-8 hrs. This is occasionally, maybe 1-3 times a week.
Anyway, my question is about feeding them. I don't want to feed and then leave them kenneled. Sometimes we feed them when when we get home, but its sometimes like 9-10pm and then I have to keep getting up to let them out during the night, for fear they might have an accident. There has been a time where we had an emergency and got home at 3AM. I didn't feed them till the next day! I felt so guilty I did however add 1 extra cup for 3 days to make up for it. (Sadie eats 3 cups a day)
Anyway, is there a certain time frame I can feed them, let them out and know they had time to potty?
Thanks for reading, hope it made sense!

Re: When to feed vs when to leave

What's their normal eating/pooping schedule? Ours eat and then like to spend about 10-15 minutes in the backyard pooping out the previous meal.
So for example, breakfast at 7am = outside from, say, 7:15-7:30 and then everyone's brought back in and we're off. Everyone's emptied out and with full tummies are happily resting and digesting. You can also encourage elimination with a bit of exercise pre-breakfast. some fetch or flirt pole or a walk tends to help poop happen.
Sometimes if we're at my parents and we get home later that we anticipated, I just skip dinner. Fasting one meal isn't going to be a big deal. They maybe get a little extra the next day, but I don't try to make up the meal that the missed.
Also, if you feed late - stop getting up a million times a night. When you eat dinner late - do you get up to poop in the middle of the night? probably not. I'm just a little more considerate that everyone's probably going to want a longer potty time first thing in the morning since they've been digesting over night.
Re: When to feed vs when to leave
When I feed them they do go outside for about 30-45 minutes using the potty, but I guess my question is, you can feed them and they wont have a bowel for 8 hrs? My dogs will not intentionally poo in their kennels. I guess I am just afraid of them being in agony holding it in till I arrive home.
Re: When to feed vs when to leave
They won't be in agony, nor will they be in agony if they miss a day's meals here or there. Many people fast their dogs for one day a week regularly.
If potty training isn't an issue (ie, there aren't accidents and they're old enough to be trained out of that) I wouldn't worry.

Sometimes you buy something at the store because it looks weird and cool. That's what happened with powdered peanut butter. Yes, powdered peanut butter is a thing and of course I bought it. Yes, a Costco sized jug of powdered peanut butter. The most common thing powdered peanut butter is used for is smoothies, so naturally I went for it. After a few smoothies that were pretty darn bleh, I found the perfect combination: Peanut Butter Powder Blueberry Cinnamon Smoothie.
Jump to Recipe · Jump to Video
The key ingredient – the one that made a 'meh' smoothie into an 'OMG' smoothie – is the CINNAMON. Probably my favorite spice (besides salt, I guess?). Do not forget the cinnamon. You could probably skip the vanilla almond milk and use water. However, the vanilla flavor is also a compliment to the smoothie and shouldn't be skipped (in my opinion).
You guys, this is probably my best smoothie creation yet. Of course, none of this could be possible without my handy NutriBullet. Smoothie making machine since '14. It's not the most powerful thing out there, but it does the job dependably for a super sweet low price (especially at Costco!). But seriously, it's the best for smoothies.
Let's talk about peanut butter powder. Mysterious PB powder. I looked it up. It's just peanuts pressed so that the fat and oils are removed. It tastes virtually the same as normal peanut butter (once you add some water to the powder). And the best of part (thanks to the Kitchn):
2 tablespoons of PB2 has 45 calories and 1.5g of fat
2 tablespoons of Jif has 190 calories and 16g of fat.
The most popular brand of powdered peanut butter is PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter. You can also use PB Fit Peanut Butter Powder, which is what I found at Costco. I think Jif has a version too. It looks like a lot but starts going pretty fast when you use it for smoothies all the time.

105) Historia economica da Europa desde 1945, por Barry Eichengreen
Boom and Bust
By SHERI BERMAN
Coordinated Capitalism and Beyond.
By Barry Eichengreen.
495 pp. Princeton University Press. $35.
Postwar European history falls neatly into two periods. From 1945 to 1973, the countries of Western Europe recovered rapidly from the almost unimaginable devastation caused by World War II and then took off, growing faster than the United States and more than twice as fast as their own historical trends. From 1973 to the present, however, their economies have struggled with low growth and high unemployment, lagging behind both international competitors and their own earlier success.
As a result of this divided history, the so-called European model has both cheerleaders and naysayers. Social democrats and others on the left focus on the first period, applauding the continent's ability to generate high living standards while cushioning individuals and societies from the ravages of unfettered markets. Right-wing critics and free marketeers focus on Europe's contemporary problems, arguing that the continent's generous welfare benefits and heavy regulation condemn it to continuing decline.
Both views contain some truth. But since the same conditions that led to success in one era have produced problems in the next, neither interpretation fully explains the story. In "The European Economy Since 1945," Barry Eichengreen, a professor of economics and political science at the University of California, Berkeley, presents not only a comprehensive account of Europe's postwar economic experience but also an important analysis of capitalist development more generally.
Drawing on his credentials as both an economist and a political scientist, Eichengreen argues that the key to understanding Europe's initial triumphs and later troubles lies in recognizing that the recipe for growth varies, depending on one's position in the economic race. In the years after 1945, Europe needed to recover from the war and catch up with the United States. This involved what economists call "extensive growth" — essentially, increasing the number of workers doing familiar kinds of jobs. Extensive growth requires adopting existing technology, using labor more efficiently and generating high levels of investment. After the war, Europe developed a variety of institutions well suited to these tasks.
Large trade unions, employer organizations and corporatist arrangements, Eichengreen shows, helped labor-market partners reach and sustain long-term agreements to limit wage demands, ensure high levels of investment and plan for routine industrial restructuring. Unions agreed to hold down labor costs and in return were given either representation on corporate boards (Germany), influence over government planning and policy making (Sweden and France) or the ability to dole out government jobs and funds (Austria). Strong welfare states helped cement this bargain, providing workers with generous benefits to offset their wage restraint and the unemployment generated by industrial restructuring.
Schools and training programs, meanwhile, were designed to turn out workers adept at handling existing technology and equipment. Banks developed long-term relationships with their corporate clients, lending money for business expansion that relied on known technologies. And the government bureaucracies of nationalized industries helped mobilize and coordinate the resources necessary for the relatively clear-cut tasks associated with catch-up growth.
All this worked just as it was supposed to, generating prosperity across the continent. By the early 1970s, however, the potential for extensive growth had been largely exhausted. Europe's businesses and infrastructure had been rebuilt, its labor force transferred from agriculture to manufacturing, the latest technology imported and adopted. At this point, Eichengreen says, "the continent had to find other ways of sustaining its growth. It had to switch from growth based on brute-force capital accumulation and the acquisition of known technologies to growth based on increases in efficiency and internally generated innovation" — that is, to "intensive growth."
The problem, of course, was that Europe was now saddled with institutions ill suited to the creativity and flexibility that intensive growth demands. As Eichengreen puts it, "the continent's very success at exploiting the opportunities for catch-up and convergence after World War II doomed it to difficulties thereafter." The new situation called for flexible and mobile work relationships, technological novelty and the financing of risky ventures — none of which Europe's postwar institutions were good at. In other words, the same structures and practices that had led to the continent's golden age have now produced a malaise. (Eichengreen adds that a similar dynamic has played out in Eastern Europe, since Soviet institutions were not bad at extensive growth but awful at intensive growth.)
Eichengreen backs up his argument with reams of data and detailed examples, yet he writes well enough to make his book accessible to general readers. He reminds us that economic development calls for much more than simply the unleashing of market forces; it demands institutions capable of generating the resources, skills and relationships necessary to handle the particular economic challenges a country has to face at a particular time. And by demonstrating how institutions helpful in one era can become counterproductive in another, Eichengreen has important lessons about the future to teach both policy makers and publics.
"The European Economy Since 1945" should make readers wary of universal prescriptions for economic policy, since it shows how the fit between policies and circumstances is clearly more important than the nature of either in isolation. The strategies and institutions a country should adopt will depend not only on its particular preferences, but also on what role it can reasonably expect to play in the international economy.
So what should the nations of Europe do now that the advantages of their "economic backwardness" have been fully exploited? Without settling the debate between the European model's supporters and detractors, Eichengreen suggests that international competition is compelling Europe to abandon its distinctive model and become more flexible.
This will not be easy. Eichengreen himself stresses the difficulty of institutional change, and so readers may come away from his book concluding that Europe's economic future is bleak — at least in a contest with other developed countries that provide few government benefits.
Yet thanks to political will and creative policymaking, as Eichengreen points out, some countries on the continent, particularly the Nordic ones, have managed to adapt successfully. They are keeping themselves internationally competitive even while continuing to provide social benefits in health, education and social insurance far above American standards. Others, like France and Germany, will have to follow their lead. Otherwise, they will probably face the decline the pessimists have long been predicting.

First Chapter
'The European Economy Since 1945'
By BARRY EICHENGREEN
In the second half of the twentieth century, the lives of Europeans were transformed almost beyond recognition. In 1950, many of the continent's residents heated their homes with coal, cooled their food with ice, and lacked even rudimentary forms of indoor plumbing. Today, their lives are eased and enriched by natural-gas furnaces, electric refrigerators, and an array of electronic gadgets that boggles the mind. Gross domestic product per capita, what the income of a typical resident of Europe will buy, tripled in the second half of the twentieth century. The quality of life improved even more than suggested by this simple measure. Hours worked declined by one-third, providing an enormous increase in leisure time. Life expectancy lengthened as a result of improved nutrition and advances in medical science. To be sure, not all was sweetness and light. Unemployment rose. Tax burdens soared. Environmental degradation, political repression, and limits on consumer sovereignty were pervasive under the authoritarian regimes that dominated Eastern Europe for four decades after World War II. But by any objective standard, the last half century has left Europeans today enormously better off than their grandparents were fifty years ago.
Not all parts of the continent shared equally in this prosperity, of course, and not all portions of the last half century were characterized by equally rapid growth. Southern Europe grew faster than Northern Europe. Western Europe grew faster than Eastern Europe. Growth was slower after 1973 than before. This slowdown was most pronounced in Eastern Europe, where it culminated in a crisis of central planning that brought down not just the command economy but its authoritarian political superstructure as well. These are important qualifications, but they do not change the fact that the post- World War II period, and specifically the quarter century from 1948 to 1973, was a period of extraordinarily rapid change and a veritable golden age of economic growth.
What made possible the rapid economic growth of a continent that was devastated by World War II? Initially, Europe could grow rapidly simply by repairing wartime damage, rebuilding its capital stock, and redeploying men drafted into the wartime task of destroying output and productive capacity to the normal peacetime job of creating them. The rapid economic expansion of the early postwar years largely reflected this process of "catch-up growth." The continent could then sustain its rapid growth by exploiting the backlog of new technologies developed between the two world wars but not yet put to commercial use. The 1920s and 1930s had been decades of instability and crisis, to be sure, but they were also a period of rapid technical change. Among other things, they saw the development of Lucite, Teflon, and nylon, improvements in the design of the internal combustion engine, and organizational changes such as the spread of assembly-line methods and modern personnel-management practices. Most of these innovations were developed in the United States. But a depressed investment climate and then the disruptions of war made the 1930s and 1940s less than propitious times for Europe to emulate America's example. Consequently, by the end of World War II, the United States had opened up a huge lead in levels of output and productivity. But this also meant that there existed an extraordinary backlog of technological and organizational knowledge ready for Europe's commercial use. By licensing American technology, capitalizing on American produ ers' knowledge of mass-production methods, and adopting American personnel-management practices, Europe could close the gap. This aspect of growth in the second half of the twentieth century is known as "convergence," the tendency for levels of per capita income and productivity to converge toward those prevailing in the United States.
For all these reasons, 1945 was a favorable jumping-off point for the European economy. Looking back on the extraordinary economic progress of the subsequent fifty years encourages a tendency to regard what followed as preordained. In fact, many things had to go right, and there was considerable uncertainty about whether they would. Catch-up, which entailed capital formation, the reallocation of labor, and the efficient use of these factors of production, required Europe to mobilize savings, finance investment, and maintain wages consistent with full employment and respectable profit rates. It required getting a range of complementary industries, each of which was necessary for the viability of the others, up and running simultaneously. Convergence required mechanisms for transferring to Europe and adapting to its circumstances the backlog of technological and organizational knowledge developed in the United States.
These were complex tasks. When we place ourselves in the position of contemporaries at the start of the period, as we will do in chapter 3, it becomes clear that any number of things could have gone wrong, as they had in the 1920s and 1930s.
That they did not go wrong now reflected the fact that Europe possessed a set of institutions singularly well suited to the task at hand. Catch-up was facilitated by solidaristic trade unions, cohesive employers associations, and growth-minded governments working together to mobilize savings, finance investment, and stabilize wages at levels consistent with full employment. The problem of getting a set of interdependent industries up and running simultaneously was solved by extramarket mechanisms ranging from government planning agencies, state holding companies, and industrial conglomerates in Western Europe to wholesale nationalization and central direction of the economy in the East. The capacity expansion needed to efficiently operate these scale-intensive technologies was financed by patient banks in long-standing relationships with their industrial clients.
In a nutshell, then, opportunities for catch-up and convergence were realized because of the conformance, or more colloquially the "fit," between the structure of the Western European economy and the economic and technological imperatives of the day. The result was a period of exceptionally rapid growth from the end of World War II through the 1960s.
Critical to Western Europe's success was the security of private property rights and reliance on the price mechanism. But the rapid growth of the postwar golden age depended on more than just the free play of market forces; in addition it required a set of norms and conventions, some informal, others embodied in law, to coordinate the actions of the social partners and solve a set of problems that decentralized markets could not. Hence the "coordinated capitalism" of this book's title.
This codified set of norms and understandings-what economists mean when they refer to institutions-did not materialize overnight. To a large extent it was inherited from the past. It is not surprising that inherited institutions could be adapted to the needs of post-World War II growth, since the challenges of this period resembled those that had confronted Europe in earlier years. Modern industry had developed later on the continent than in Britain and the United States, at a time when the capital intensity of industrial technology was greater. These more demanding capital needs were met by great banks capable of mobilizing resources on a large scale. As industrial production grew more complex and industrial sectors grew increasingly interdependent, it became more pressing to get a range of industries up and running simultaneously; hence the more prominent role of the state. Late-industrializing economies whose initial growth spurt depended as much on assimilating and adapting existing technologies as on pioneering new ones naturally developed systems of human capital formation emphasizing apprenticeship training and vocational skills as much as university education. Thus, it was no coincidence that Europe had in place following World War II a set of institutions useful for relaxing the constraints on growth. It was also fortuitous that the inheritance was favorable, since these kinds of deeply embedded social institutions are slow to change.
Catch-up was similarly the forte of planned economies organized along Soviet lines. Bureaucrats decided how many factories to build, instructed state banks to mobilize the necessary resources, and limited consumption to what was left. They decided what foreign technologies to acquire, whether through licensing or industrial espionage. Because success measured in tons of steel production depended more on brute-force capital formation and the assimilation of standard technologies than on entrepreneurship and innovation, the centrally planned economies of Eastern Europe were able, initially at least, to perform tolerably well. The institutions of the command economy had severe limitations, as we will see, but they were best suited to the circumstances of catch-up growth.
Just as this inheritance of economic and social institutions contributed to the extraordinarily successful performance of the European economy in the third quarter of the twentieth century, it was equally part of the explanation for Europe's less satisfactory performance in the subsequent twenty-five years. As the early opportunities for catch-up and convergence were exhausted, the continent had to find other ways of sustaining its growth. It had to switch from growth based on brute-force capital accumulation and the acquisition of known technologies to growth based on increases in efficiency and internally generated innovation. This transition is sometimes described as the shift from extensive to intensive growth. By extensive growth I mean growth based on capital formation and the existing stock of technological knowledge. It is the process of raising output by putting more people to work at familiar tasks and raising labor productivity by building more factories along the lines of existing factories. Intensive growth, in contrast, means growth through innovation. A larger share of the increase in output is accounted for by technical change, and less by the growth of factor inputs.
Thus Europe, which had relied on extensive growth in the 1950s and 1960s, had no choice but to switch to intensive growth from the 1970s on. The problem was that institutions tailored to the needs of extensive growth were less suited to the challenges of intensive growth. Bank-based financial systems had been singularly effective at mobilizing resources for investment by existing enterprises using known technologies, but they were less conducive to growth in a period of heightened technological uncertainty. Now the role of finance was to take bets on competing technologies, something for which financial markets were better adapted. The generous employment protections and heavy welfare-state charges that had given labor the security to accept the installation of mass-production technologies now became an obstacle to growth as new firms seeking to explore the viability of unfamiliar technologies became the agents of job creation and productivity improvement. Systems of worker co-determination, in which union representatives occupied seats on big firms' supervisory boards, had been ideal for helping labor to verify that owners were investing the profits resulting from its wage restraint but now discouraged bosses from taking the tough measures needed to restructure in preparation for the adoption of radical new technologies. State holding companies that had been engines of investment and technical progress were no longer efficient mechanisms for allocating resources in this new era of heightened technological uncertainty. They were increasingly captured by special interests and used to bail out loss-making firms and prop up declining industries.
Increasingly, then, the same institutions of coordinated capitalism that had worked to Europe's advantage in the age of extensive growth now posed obstacles to successful economic performance. In this sense, the continent's very success at exploiting the opportunities for catch-up and convergence after World War II doomed it to difficulties thereafter. And the durability and persistence of institutions, which had worked to Europe's advantage after World War II, were now less positive attributes than impediments to growth.
Eastern Europe manifested this problem in its most extreme form. The centrally planned economies were particularly inept at innovation, since new knowledge generally bubbles up from below rather than raining down from above. More than nearly any other activity, innovation responds to incentives, which were in chronic short supply in the command economies. This weakness of central planning came back to haunt the Eastern bloc once the party was over, the technological pantry was bare, and a premium was placed on innovation.
This, in bare-bones form, is the story told in this book. It is a way of understanding the golden age of growth that prevailed for twenty-five years after World War II and the subsequent slowdown. It explains how the average annual rate of growth of gross domestic product (GDP) per capita in Western Europe could have fallen by more than half between the 1950-1973 period and the 1973-2000 period. It similarly explains why the deceleration between these periods was even more dramatic in Eastern Europe and why the planned economies collapsed at the end of the 1980s. To be sure, no single explanation for these complex phenomena can possibly be complete. For example, Europe's growth deceleration was surely also affected by global factors beyond its control. It is revealing, though, that the rate of growth of output per hour declined more sharply in Europe than in the United States, which was affected by the same global forces. The exhaustion of the technological backlog and the difficulty of adapting inherited institutions to changed circumstances go a long way toward explaining this fact.
As these last sentences remind us, the story of Europe's postwar growth-indeed, the story of its growth over the entire second half of the twentieth century-cannot be told in isolation from developments in the rest of the world. This directs our attention to another aspect of the inheritance shaping growth in the third quarter of the twentieth century: the Great Power conflict. Countries falling within the ambit of the United States or the Soviet Union came under pressure to adopt the same form of economic and social organization as the power under whose security umbrella they sheltered. After a brief period of uncertainty, Western Europe was decisively propelled toward market capitalism and Eastern Europe toward state socialism. This choice became the single most important determinant of growth performance in the two halves of the European continent.
The nature of the conflict permitted Western Europe to free ride on the security system provided by the United States. Less defense spending allowed Western European countries to devote more government revenues and investment to private ends. In effect, the subsidiary role that Europe played in the Great Power conflict yielded a peace dividend that freed up resources for productive capital formation. Eastern Europe was the recipient of an analogous dividend; it imported energy and raw materials at submarket prices from the Soviet Union in return for the stationing of Soviet troops in the region.
In addition, the Cold War provided an impetus for regional integration. The United States would not have acquiesced to the creation of a customs union of European nation-states capable of discriminating against American exports except for the priority it attached to building a bulwark against communism. And the Soviets would not have insisted so strongly on the integration of the Eastern bloc but for the example of Western Europe and the incompatibility of their own economy with those of Western European countries. . . .

Virginia Knightly is a television news producer who has been relieved of her producing duties. Good thing, because she's become intrigued with a missing person's case. A young attorney in Washington D.C. has disappeared after leaving a restaurant with her husband.
It's D.C., so there's politics involved. Virginia's ex is investigating the case, and maybe he's lying to her? There's a varied cast of characters and things start to look like a police coverup. But why? What did this very young, inexperienced attorney have that would make her a target.
I liked Virginia. She's strong and resilient. She's smart, and I found it easy to root for her. I really enjoyed the twists and turns in The Cutaway. It kept me guessing as Virginia follows leads and you think, "now she's got it!" but no...that's not it either. I didn't figure it out until she did.
The author is an experienced reporter and familiar with TV news and assumes the reader is too. I'm not. I did wish for a little more explanation of the workings of the news cycle, and what is involved in getting the nightly news on the air. There were some terms and expressions that I didn't quite understand. I really don't even get the title. Well, I guess I understood kind of, but there was a lot of tension over stories and timing that I just didn't feel. I don't think this took anything away from the actual story, but I think she missed an opportunity to educate her readers.
The other thing that was a small issue is the denouement. After the case is over and done, there is a lot of personal stuff that gets resolved. Maybe I was just tired, but it seemed like a lot of pages of this. Once again, not a huge issue.
The Cutaway is definitely a worthwhile read for mystery fans. Especially if you like the kind where it's about investigative reporting and not about police procedure. I think older teens would enjoy The Cutaway also.

... Reading?
The Mitford Letters, which are the letters of the five sisters of the Mitford family. They were all wonderful letter writers. They provide a fascinating picture of prewar British society, a subject that greatly interests me. I have a play coming up on the topic. Unity, one of the sisters, had a passionate love of Hitler. I'm so interested in why people abandoned their moral center. That process, the way people make moral decisions, fascinates me.
... Watching?
I'm catching up on the Oscar nominated movies and I have to vote, so I don't want to say what my favorites are. But in the movies I've watched over the past year, I'd say one that really moved me was The Lives of Others, because it's such a brilliant portrait of an utterly corrupt society, one where people pretended it was one thing and it was really another. It was supposed to be this worker paradise but it was totally corrupt.
... Listening to?
I would say my musical taste stops at Stravinsky. I like classical music because it's about something, it has something to say. It moves me, it's not just noise, which is what passes for music with so much of what you hear today. I look for in music the same things I look for in art, which is to be touched and moved. Solzhenitsyn, the great Russian writer, put it well when he said if it doesn't touch me here, meaning his heart, then it isn't art.

When leaders at the California Endowment (TCE) decided to "hit the pause button" and commission an external assessment of their most ambitious place-based initiative to date, three years in, they sought an evaluation approach that recognized the complexity of their strategy. TCE designed the initiative, Building Healthy Communities, as a 10-year, billion-dollar effort to create equitable communities in 14 sites across California. Because contextual factors at each site would necessitate local adaptation and the strategy overall would continue to evolve, "off-the-shelf" evaluation of the initiative and its outcomes would simply not suffice.
More than halfway across the country, another foundation faced a similar dilemma. The Grand Rapids Community Foundation (GRCF) was engaged in a complex, multi-faceted effort to improve college access and success for a whole generation of disadvantaged students. The initiative, Challenge Scholars, would offer "wrap-around supports" (engaging schools, colleges, businesses, and other community institutions) for students and their families, helping prepare students academically, socially, and emotionally to succeed in higher education. The evaluation of the initiative would have to recognize the involvement of various partners and adapt to an ever-changing environment.
TCE and GRCF are just two funders who are actively "shifting the lens" in terms of how they are looking at evaluation in the light of complexity. They are building on the recognition that a traditional approach to evaluation—assessing specific effects of a defined program according to a set of pre-determined outcomes, often in a way that connects those outcomes back to the initiative—is increasingly falling short. There is a clear message emerging that evaluation needs to accommodate complexity, not "assume it away."
My colleagues at FSG and I have, based on our work with TCE, GRCF, and numerous other clients, articulated a set of nine "propositions" in a recent practice brief that are helpful in guiding how we conceptualize, design, and implement evaluations of complex initiatives. We derived these propositions from what we now know (based on the emerging field of complexity science) as distinctive characteristics of complex systems. We know, for example, that complex systems are always changing, often in unpredictable ways; they are never static. Hence, we need to design evaluations so that they are adaptive, flexible, and iterative, not rigid and cookie-cutter.
Below are three of the propositions in more detail, along with tools and methods that can help apply the proposition in practice.
It is important to note that many of the traditional tools and methods that form the backbone of sound evaluations—such as interviews, focus groups, and surveys—are still relevant. We would, however, suggest that organizations adapt those methods to reflect a complexity orientation. For example, interviews should explore the role of context; we should not confine them to the initiative's boundaries. Focus groups should seek to understand local adaptation, not just adherence. And surveys should probe for relationships and interdependencies, not just perceived outcomes. In addition to traditional methods, we suggest incorporating newer, innovative techniques that provide a richer narrative, including:
- Systems mapping—an iterative, often participatory process of graphically representing a system, including its components and connections
- Appreciative inquiry—a group process that inquires into, identifies, and further develops the best of "what is" in organizations
- Design thinking—a user-centered approach to developing new solutions to abstract, ill-defined, or complex problems
As social initiatives get more complex and strategies become more emergent, we need to open up conversation about what it would take for evaluation to continue being relevant and useful. This would allow funders and nonprofits engaged in complex social change to benefit from their evaluation and learning efforts by investing in the right kinds of evaluations.

Breakingviews: BofA ball and chain
April 17 - Chief Executive Brian Moynihan wants to remain at the helm of Bank of America until he dies. Considering the bank's insipid Q1 showing, it may take him that long to earn his bonus.
Brian Monahan recently said he'd like to remain BankAmerica chief executive until he dies well based on the results today. He may well have to see the -- you're looking at this -- Brian Monahan Hoffman's pays now tied up -- -- three -- SA -- still hit -- decent amount and that. And -- another -- they really should have these deals but. Half of his twelve million from last year's title and a three year deal that tied to you a couple of big matchup is -- and -- may -- results. Yeah I mean he just extrapolate what we saw in this quarter it means he would basically get -- hit it if that continues the next three years media. Its return on assets which is under fifty basis points and growth in the senate -- -- tangible common equity. Which is also below that that the very low pressure the lowest threshold that you have brought it to get some of them haven't. It's just as criticism comes exit last year he was paid a total if he sees targets of twelve million singer. You -- five not when it's roughly half. What you should processes salary or whatever -- so he's got to get. It's much better results in the next the next what just under three years. Now if we look at as they did as she did quite well compared to last quarter profit was a -- fighting group. Well exactly what's holding them and I think it's like -- Munich and we talked with a little bit earlier just that -- -- long game with my opinion they are still dealing with legacy issues they had they also announced the settlement today at 509 but you know to put it to -- finally it's some movies that's -- mortgage stuff and again it -- his legacy mortgages that were written. But countrywide are part of country like -- which they've bought let's for the crisis broke out such as little Leo is again still my ears again. It's they're still dealing with up to it's always hard to get a very clean read on -- America like OK we have all those things we are seeing some improvement I mean they are they are seeing improvement and you know to credit quality. And things like that and you're gonna have lots of deposits which when interest rates finally thought that was a great thing to -- America but -- for right now interest rates are low. They are still kind of sucking wind picking on the legacy stuff yet it's still out there and a lot of -- -- -- get hit by a few other things so let's take a look. I think -- suffering and it mostly. Sixty and trading revenues to animals and people expect shall not completely -- -- -- do the same part it was the head of fields commodities as it is very well the first quarter of last year that didn't have that -- was like a rebound you know recovery gains they had last year were saying how. But -- unlike other families against the sweetest thing about them completely to legacy mortgage issues. Dead and lift station expenses were a lot higher and yet another failure but Exel -- come down -- take. -- does not say exactly and that's what I think recently we look at the noninterest expenses that's kind of caught people by surprise they actually happening in Yemen. The silver lining I guess that's 509 it was announced today. Is being taken in the first quarter -- time is that if you don't need to worry about that second quarter yeah but again they're still lawsuit pending with AIG with every day. In this is all goes back to the crisis so it's still like they're still not quite adamantly yeah. -- well thanks Agnes civil commitment have you bit I'm not a bit later on we have one final by becoming more -- than -- I promise you. We'll talk about summing -- -- -- much much more breaking news.

Success meet of Aaksamantha was held at Prasad Labs on the night of 30 March.
Guest JK Bharavi said, "I could identify myself in the role of father character played by Prakash Raj in Aakasamantha. Whoever watched this film will come out with their personal relevance to this film. Director Radha Mohan came up with a new screenplay. This film teaches us how parents should be."
Guest Indira Parimi (Sakshi) said, "Akasamantha offers entertainment, emotion and education. If Bommarillu showcased the suffocated son due to over-protective father, this film shows how a genuinely caring father feels when his daughter does not realize it. Akasamantha will be a big film at box office."
Music director Vidya Sagar said, "Me, Prakash Raj and Radha Mohan have been friends for over a decade. The father and daughter relationship is shown with subtle nuances in Aakasamantha film. I had gone through similar emotions in my personal life too as I have daughters. Dil Raju is a passionate producer and he deftly handled the film. He added two fresh tunes for Telugu version."
Prakash Raj said, "I am passionate about producing films on human relationships. I am good friends with Dil Raju and Radha Mohan for a long time. Radha Mohan has been my friend for 12 years. I like him as a person and his vision in visualizing certain things. He mastered the art of telling sorrows with humor. I knew Vidya Sagar for 14 years. He has excellent command over music and all the songs in this film are like extensions for situations. Dil Raju is not just a producer, he is a great friend. He calls me Anna and we share an affectionate bond."
Producer Dil Raju said, "I was nervous about Aakasamantha as it's 8th film in my banner. And number 8 is very dangerous in numerology. I am happy that I passed with flying colors this time too. In a place like Eluru, Aakasamantha was screened with 6 shows on day one. Aakasamantha is a small film that is poised to become a big hit."

Xstream Paranormal, which is made up of a group of enthusiasts who meet monthly in Outwell, were at The Globe in Wisbech Market Place when they
took the spooky picture.
Landlady Michelle Deller, who runs The Globe with husband Phil, said: "We were doing a planchette session when the door to the bar opened and closed again. The outside door was locked and everyone else was in the bar. Vivien [one of the investigators] was taking pictures all around to see if she could get anything and she happened to take one just at the right moment when the door opened."
|Pareidolia - or a ghost?
Xstream Paranormal were very excited to get the photo and Vivien Powell said they had the image checked out by an expert who could find no explanation for the ghostly figure, which appears to be wearing some kind of naval uniform.
Fellow investigator Jo Williams said they had some success with the planchette, a wooden device that holds a pencil and allows spirits to communicate through writing. They got the name 'Nelly Lovegrove' who was apparently a former landlady, and the name 'Gordon'.
They picked up a clear EVP (electronic voice phenomena) recording of a voice saying "No" while conducting the planchette session which they also believe is genuine.
Jo added: "We're stumped as to who the figure in the photo is, so if anyone can help us with information, we would be grateful."
The team also recently did an investigation at the Tower Ballroom in Wisbech and believe they managed to get a partial apparition there. However they are still going through the data.

Oh man. Something I've been wondering a lot lately is dating intentionally vs casually.
Sooo my old church was the extreme of intentionally eg don't date unless you see it leading straight to the alter for wedding bells.
Given my newly comfortable sexuality status of bisexual… I am now faced with some hard questions.
1) IF I don't see myself coming out to my family (eg mom and dad/grandparents/etc)– is it actually IRRESPONSIBLE to date women?
UGH. I don't know. I am attracted to both men and women, and I COULD be very happy with a man. And I think it is unfair to limit yourself to only intense dating if that isn't where you're at right now.
But I don't want casually dating someone to equal "slut" or "disregard for feelings". That is not true at all! It is more that I don't have a clear picture of what the future could look like with that person, and simply want to enjoy the present. And I very much could date a woman in this way, and have a very fulfilling relationship.
2) Is it selfish? What if they agree to casual dating and someone ends up having more feelings, or feelings develop and then it is just sad times again because of the whole future thing?
What to do, what to do.

Dec. 31st - the deadline for Northeastern to mail me my acceptance/denial letter, as well as my financial aid package info.
Sadly, by the looks of things, I won't be attending NU. During this two week long period, I am extremely likely to die of stress and anticipation. When I actually recieve the letter, I might pass out, hitting my head on some extremely hard or sharp nearby surface, or I might throw up, and, being deprived of oxygen in the process, die. Yes, it's true, college applications will certainly be the death of me.
Just wanted to let you all know, in case I stop posting blogs at any time in the next few weeks, you'll know what happened to me.

The Lamparfums have the same quality and make up as the natural essences of the Home Fragrances of Dr.Vranjes, but the fact that they are used in catalytic combustion may cause some scented notes (especially the fruity tones of Arancio-Cinnamon, Vaniglia-Mandarino, Rosso Nobile and Melograno) to be perceived slightly differently.
This may be particularly the case if you are accustomed to using these perfumes as Home Fragrances.

Second-round games will be played Nov. 13-14 and sites will be announced following the first round results; semifinals will be Nov. 16-17; and the championship is set for Sunday, Nov. 20. Teams that lose in the first two rounds will play consolation games on the second weekend, Nov. 18-19. All games are hosted by participating schools.
In last year's Preseason WNIT, Purdue defeated DePaul 67-58.
- Akron loses just one senior from its 14-16 team, and with the return of four starters, the Zips expect to get back to their form of 09-10 when they posted their best season in school history at 18-14.
- Baylor is a favorite to win next season's national title after advancing deep into the NCAA Tournament. The Lady Bears have U.S. Basketball Writers Association coach of the year Kim Mulkey to lead freshman of the year Odyssey Sims, All-American Brittney Griner, and the vast majority of the Bears that went 34-3 last season and captured the Big 12 Conference regular-season and tournament titles.
- Chattanooga won 11 straight Southern Conference titles until last season's youth-laden team lost in overtime in the semifinals of the tournament. This year's team is a year older and will build on a 17-14 mark with everyone on the roster back for another season under coach Wes Moore.
- Detroit is a program on the rise, as the Titans return all five starters from their 13-18 team that defeated Michigan on the road for the first time since 1983.
- Drexel earned its third straight trip to the postseason and finished 19-13 despite suffering some key injuries. The Dragons welcome all but one player back for next fall.
- ETSU has won three of the past four Atlantic Sun Tournament titles. The Lady Buccaneers return three starters from their 19-12 team, including Destiny Mitchell, who earned all-conference freshman team honors after suffering a season-ending knee injury in February.
- Hartford finished last season on a high note by winning the America East tournament and earning its sixth trip to the NCAAs after a slow start with an inexperienced team. The Hawks, who were 27-5 a year ago, will again be a favorite this fall in the America East.
- Howard finished runner-up at the MEAC championships and returns conference Player of the Year Saadia Doyle for her junior season. The 16-18 Bison return all five of their starters for their first appearance in the Preseason WNIT.
- Indiana State head coach Teri Moren set a school record for most wins in a rookie season as the Sycamores were 16-16. They get all but one player back from a team that advanced to the Missouri Valley tournament's semifinal round.
- Long Island returns its top players from a 19-11 team in the Northeast Conference, including senior Ashley Palmer, a two-time NEC first-team all-conference honoree.
- Manhattan is coming off its winningest season in school history, as it finished 24-10 and played in the postseason. The Jaspers welcome back four starters.
- McNeese State posted a record-setting season and tied the best turnaround in NCAA history with a 26-7 record after winning seven games the year before. The Cowgirls captured both the Southland Conference regular-season and tournament titles, and played in their first NCAA Tournament in school history. Their top players return to the team this fall.
- Notre Dame made it all the way to the NCAA championship game before falling to Texas A&M, and the Fighting Irish (31-8) will be back in force this fall for another strong run. They are led by point guard Skylar Diggins, who is among a record three Irish players who recently made the 14-player cut for the U.S. World University Games.
- Tennessee Tech won the Ohio Valley Conference regular-season title and played in the Postseason WNIT. The Golden Eagles posted a nine-game turnaround from the season before, finishing with a 23-8 overall record. They get all five starters back this fall.
- UAB rolled to its first 20-win season in a decade, going 20-15 and winning the WBI postseason event. The Blazers return four of their five starters and all but one player on their roster.
- UCLA earned more regular-season wins (26) than ever before, and matched its highest seed in history in the NCAA Tournament at No. 3. The Bruins (28-5) will have a new coaching staff led by Cori Close after Nikki Caldwell took the LSU job, but should again be picked to finish around the No. 2 spot in the Pac-12 Conference this fall.

Today we will speak with Paula Clarke, one the victims we discussed on yesterday's broadcast about the April 2016 raid that was conducted against a Black community in the North Bronx and resulted in the indicted of 120 young black men on RICO conspiracy charges. After her home was broken into by agents of the federal government and NYPD slave catchers, Clarke and two of her young daughters we forced to belly crawl at gun point as slave catchers searched for her son who is serving probation and lives with his father as listed in his probation records.
After we speak with her, we will go over some of the news of the day and see how much coverage the national prison work and hunger strikes will get as prisoners, family and advocates march against legalized prison slavery and human trafficking in the United States.

Wayne Prosser, General Manager for Aurizon Network's Infrastructure Maintenance team said the QFES will use the equipment to help emergency personnel prepare for incidents involving trains.
"The QFES will practice simulation exercises where they will use heavy rescue equipment to lift the wagons safely from the railway track.
"While we never like to see rail incidents on our Network, we are really pleased that we can support the QFES in their preparedness to respond safely should an emergency situation arise," said Mr Prosser.
The wagons were built in the late 1970s and were destined for recycling into scrap metal.
"Being able to recycle the wagons for use by QFES means they continue to serve a purpose and is another way we can give back to the community," said Mr Prosser.
Wayne Prosser, General Manager for Aurizon Network's Infrastructure Maintenance team officially handed over the donated track and wagons to QFES Superintendent Ross Macrae in Rockhampton.

Our first collaborative post! A dear friend of mine, who would like to remain anonymous as Freya, RN, contributed the below post. I'll be posting another of hers tomorrow as well. Keep a look out!
I find it hard to organize my thoughts regarding this topic. It's been the bane of my existence for the last year, and I'm running thin on my patience and my understanding at the moment.
I am by no means an experienced nurse. I've been a nurse in the ICU for four years and I'm getting tired of babies teaching babies. I was a new graduate in the ICU. I've been there. I should be more empathetic. The thing is, I was raised by nurses who had 5-20 years of experience in the ICU alone. I always had someone with more experience than I do to rely on. Someone who could help me with my critical thinking and decision-making process. Now, with my few measly years of experience, I'm a top dog at many of the hospitals I've worked at.
I have worked in situations now where I am one of the most experienced nurses on a busy unit. These new nurses are so intimidated by working in the ICU that some of them don't ask questions. If they do ask questions, they feel more comfortable asking their peers and it becomes and issue of the blind leading the blind.
I've overheard some conversations that I've interjected myself into, just to be able to guide these nurses in the correct direction. Recently I heard a nurse of less than 6 months ask another nurse of only a year if she had to call the doctor back to clarify whether the doctor wanted a heparin drip with or without boluses (HUGE difference). The nurse she had asked said "I know what I would do, I'd just order it this way." I couldn't help myself (and probably looked like the biggest jackass in the world) – I walked over and I sad, "I would 100% call the doctor and clarify. It sucks that you didn't think to ask the first time about the boluses, but really he should be putting in the orders anyways. Think of it this way, after paging and talking to him a second time because of this, you'll never forget to do that again."
I've heard some scary things out of these new nurses mouths, and I honestly believe it is because the person training them has only been out of nursing school for six months to a year. I've offered to train new graduates while in a permanent position and I've not had a student for the last five or so months while these babies are training babies. I believe it has been due to my complete honesty and my expectation that if you have a question for me, you've thought about the patient, the problem and have thought about what you would want to do. I do not give out answers for free, I train nurses to THINK. You cannot be an ICU nurse without thinking.
The scariest part of this whole thing is that management doesn't seem to find an issue with nurses that have 6 month of experience, training new graduates in the ICU. There are always better nurses than others at any level of experience in the hospital, but I feel we aren't setting up our new graduate nurses to succeed when the people training them have barely had time to be nurses themselves. The blame isn't all on management and the higher ups though. The issue is that more and more bedside nurses don't stay at the bedside. Bedside nursing is no longer a career – it's a stepping stone. It's a starting place for CRNA, NP and other advanced nursing careers. Many new graduates start out in the ICU with the plans of being a nurse practitioner by the end of 3 years. I can understand the appeal, a lot less physical labor, less time with the patients, more knowledge, and (what it's ALL about) better pay.
The more these stepping stone nurses come into the work field, the more older nurses begin to leave the bedside. They leave because staffing becomes difficult and patient to nurse ratios become unsafe when turnover becomes so high. They leave because the people they work with are inexperienced and a danger to their patients. They leave because they can't physically bear turning a 300 lb+ patient with only the assistance of one other person (and that is the only person they could find after ten minutes of searching.) To be honest, I LOVE bedside nursing, but I don't blame these nurses. I've experienced the issues, I've heard the excuse of "It's been worse before," and I keep coming back. I'm not sure if that just makes me a glutton for punishment, a martyr, or more likely, a silly gal with a heart for helping others.

Welcome the multicore age! As with any new technology, you could spend a great deal of time searching, reading, testing, and looking for answers to questions before you can start producing effective code. We want to help you get up to speed more quickly by providing the basics and background to get you up and running in as little as 30 minutes.
That's why we decided to call this section of the Linux Magazine site the Multicore Cookbook, because we have some quick and easy recipes that will get you "cooking" with multicore in no time. Be sure to check back regularly for new articles and tips.
We've organized the Multicore Cookbook (or as we like to call it the MCCB) as follows:
Background: The basics, no theory, just the background you need to get started. Take a look at "The Core Of The Issue: Multicore and You" and "The Multicore Programming Challenge."
Mainstream Methods: Tried and true programing techniques that are in widespread use today. Very effective, but a bit low-level for some.
Threads: The thread model has been available for many years. It is perhaps the first standard way to program multiple processors and multicore processors. Thread programming can be tedious, but highly effective.
OpenMP: The OpenMP standard was developed to make thread programming easier. OpenMP requires an open MPI aware compiler that can interpret user inserted OpenMP directives. Take a look at the 30-minute OpenMP Quick Start to learn more.
Message Passing Interface (MPI): The High Performance Computing (HPC) community has been dealing with parallel computing for many years, which gives it a bit of a leg up on dealing with multicore computers. The MPI standard was developed to provide a consistent way for processors to communicate.
Up-and-Coming: The multicore story is far from over. Indeed, it has bumped into one of the biggest challenges of computer science faces today — parallel programming. We will be surveying and introducing many of these new methods in the weeks to come.
Benchmarks: Theory is great, but practice is where reality takes hold. Benchmarking helps measure progress and find problem areas. It's important because your goal should be faster code, right? For instance, take a look at our "MPI vs OpenMP: A First Look" benchmarks to help get feel for the multicore landscape
Doug's Multicore Anxiety Closet: This section will provide links to existing and new features found else where within the Linux Magazine site. It also include commentary and insights an anxieties of Linux Magazine Senior HPC Editor Douglas Eadline.
Resources: Check this page for additional information and resources.
So there you have it! Roll up your sleeves, get your editors and compilers ready because were going to get cookin' with multicore.

These are some more before/after pictures, to show you my recent progress. I'm happy with all my projects, except for my cardigan, but I'll come to that in a minute.
I'm still making good progress on the Stars over Corn, in fact I'm hoping to be able to finish it soon.
then, when I had to start the second skein, the colour of this skein
turned out to be quite different from the first one. It's not unusual to
have some colour difference between such skeins, and the usual thing to
do then is to alternate skeins (knit one or two rows with the first
one, then one or two with the second one, etc.) for a while, so that the
colour difference is not so noticable. However, in this case the colour
difference was so big, that the result was a definitely striped
section. I tried several ways of reducing the striped effect, but in the
end the best thing I could think of was to knit a section alternating
skeins every number of stitches. I started out with rows in which I
mainly used the first skein, and then gradually shifted to knitting more
stitches using the second skein. The colour difference is still very
obvious, but I couldn't think of a better way to solve it. Bummer! Oh

World Instruments — Finding out how Various Instruments Create Sound and create Music
Casey Veggies style instrumental
You may have heard your mom humming some tune merely a while ago. You could know a pal who plays the drums. You might be hearing radio stations at this time, mouthing what with the song being played. However way your perception, music is prevalent these days. It can calm the soul, it brings tears to one's eyes and it can convey a note of anger. Music is a communication, which may be intended for a single person but relayed to a lot of. Music is the way through which could we can correspond with a lot of people more than we've got imagined possible.
But what is music? How's it created? Music emanates from sound. And the most popular as well as the most elementary source of sound that we know of is probably our voice. But sound isn't limited to our voice. Over generation individuals have created methods to regulate sound by looking into making instruments over which it is possible to control the regulating sound.
Of course, these instruments usually are not restricted to one community a treadmill country. Music is pervasive worldwide, and are generally instruments that induce music. Music encompasses the world, and that is why we now have such a term as world instruments. World instruments have to the instruments that are recognized universally or from around the globe. So what are the sorts of world instruments which are generally recognized? And just how do these instruments make sound? Let us explore them.
Wind instruments
One sort of world instruments known as the wind instruments. It is called so as it produces sound because of mid-air that we put into it; air which comes from the lungs. With that definition you now probably have a concept what samples of wind instruments are. With our breath, we are able to prolong or intensify sound because air vibrates inside a vented tube, the nature of wind instruments. Samples of wind instruments have course our voice, the flute, the horn, and so forth. The wind instruments are world instruments with regard to the production of sound due to our breath.
Percussion instruments
Percussion instruments are those world instruments that create sound through a considerable force of contact, usually through banging or striking. Types of this type of world instrument include the drums, the gongs, and so forth. Percussion instruments are world instruments that are probably the most popularly utilized in Africa.
String instruments
From the name itself, string instruments have strings which can be used to generate sound. With these instruments, sound is often generated through plucking, strumming and so forth of strings. An example of a string instrument could be the guitar, one that is commonly seen and utilised by musicians and spectators alike. As being a world instrument, string instruments have found their attraction to Africans and Arabians.
Casey Veggies style instrumental
Music is actually a world-wide phenomena. It becomes an everyday one, too. Music needs instruments to produce it, and there are many types of world instruments. Because music is pervasive, additionally we must explore instruments which are frequently used and recognized worldwide to create it.

Jared Ronin began writing scripts after reading A Streetcar Named Desire at his Tennessee high school. His work drew him to New York where he graduated with a BFA in Dramatic Writing from Purchase College in 2009. After writing commercials for various companies around the country, television production brought Jared to Los Angeles where he currently pens one-hour dramas.
Arun Narayanan is a writer and filmmaker based in Los Angeles. His half-hour pilot script THE ADVENTURES OF ASH AND OWEN, which was named the winner in the Original Comedy category of CineStory's 2016 TV/Digital competition, was also a finalist (top 10) in both the Final Draft Big Break Contest and the Page International Screenwriting Awards in 2015. In the same year, Arun's first feature-length screenplay SOME KIND OF MIRACLE was selected by the Independent Filmmaker Project (IFP) for their Emerging Storytellers program. He is currently writing a feature film made-for-television for Larry Levinson Productions.
When he's not writing, Arun works freelance as a video editor and as a Content Tagger for The Walt Disney Company. He directed the short films CELLULOID DREAMS, which aired on PBS's Shorts Showcase in 2013, and FALSE WITNESS, which will air on ShortsHD in 2016. Most recently, he produced the South Africa-set feature-length documentary TAKING STOCK, which will have its festival premiere this summer.
Arun received an MFA in Film & TV Production from the USC School of Cinematic Arts in 2014.
Daniel Fox went from high school to the Vancouver Film School just months after Kevin Smith bailed from the very same establishment, making Daniel one of the few people in the world who has seen Mr. Smith's student documentary. Daniel is pretty sure that means that he is super interesting and that you should get to know him.
Vancouver was in one of its busy seasons with multiple television shows being filmed there. Being a big fan of this brand new science fiction show called "The X-Files" Daniel was of course just about the only person in his class who didn't stumble across one of their shoots. He did however manage to get kicked in the shin by Fox Mulder's little sister… so there's that.
Upon graduation Daniel crewed various shorts, music videos, television shows, and films in Vancouver and Toronto. He has held every position from Craft Service to Location Manager and back again. However somewhere in this time he realized that carrying C-stands was not scratching the creative itch, and he finally turned to what he thinks he should have been doing all along – writing.
Since then Daniel has had a feature film script place as a Top Ten Runner-Up at Scriptapalooza, in the top 10% at Nicholl's, and nab him a spot at Cinestory's features retreat. He has also written a number of books over the years, one of which ranked as number one in Amazon. For about three days. In Germany. In a sub-sub-sub category. Still, he was pretty excited to see his name above such luminaries as Stephen Fry and George R.R. Martin.

I decided to attempt creating a site using the new google sites which had been released for us to trial. As soon as I began to use the new sites, I realised how much more restrictive it was compared to the classic google sites. I soon realised that to personalise the site as much as possible, I would have to create my design outside of sites, and then insert images and buttons into the site.
Our inquiry for term 3 is the Olympics. Our team is focusing on areas of the Olympics which may cause controversy or debate, such as use of technology, performance-enhancing drugs, the Refugee Olympic Team, and sponsorship. Therefore, this is the topic of this site. Check out the site, here.
The home page of this site is simple and takes the audience to the official Olympics websites, pages for some areas of interest under the 'Olympics Exposed' umbrella, two relevant Olympic youtube clips from the official Olympic youtube channel, and a page of fun facts. Unfortunately, with the new google sites, it is not yet possible to remove the horizontal navigation bar at the top (as can be seen in the image below).
After creating what can be seen on this site, I realised that it was not yet possible to make the new google sites public on the web. I ended up sharing this site with the other teachers in my team, as a resource bank which they could then use. Even though this site did not end up being used with the students, I do not feel that it was wasted time. I will be able to continue adding to this site and will be able to repurpose it in future years when the Commonwealth Games or Olympic Games are next on.
End of term 3 reflection (October):
During term 3, our team made some changes to how we structured reading. These changes coincided with school PD with the University of Auckland Woolf Fisher Research Centre. In our team, we undertook three 'focus topics' during the term and each of these focus topics lasted around three weeks. This allowed learning to be wide and deep. Related youtube clips were used to hook learners into the topics and to create discussion. Students were also provided with a larger number of texts to empower them in their learning. Links were also made between reading and writing where possible. You can check out what this looked like, here.
Since term 3 involved inquiring into our current practice and making collaborative changes as a team, this site did not get used as I had originally hoped. Reflecting, it could have been beneficial to have created a site for just one of these focus areas which we inquired into.
The practice at creating sites this year has allowed me to challenge myself for next year where I aim to complete a site which students can use regularly for a topic as part of their learning. I need to be thinking about how I can make the site interesting for the audience by not just adding links, but using buttons, videos, screencasts, audio, and more. This challenge for myself will involve combining the concepts behind sites like this Olympic site and the Comic and Sequential Art site (term 2), as well as the changes we made as a team to the structure of our reading programme during term 3.

|Event Scheduled
Event: Trial Resumed
Date: 10/28/2013 Time: 9:30 am
Judge: LEIBOVITZ, LYNN Location: Courtroom 202
I wouldn't worry yet. Deliberations resume Monday morning. I hear lots of people stressing over how long it's taking... but remember they barely got the case before they recessed that first day and might have needed to get to the next day to even pick a foreperson.
There's two defendants, not just one, so each state's witness had two batches/sets of cross examinations (two different sets of defense lawyers). I think about twelve charges per defendant (correct me if I am mis-remembering.) And juries like making charts. That's a lot of charts! Plus we know two notes from the jury already meaning they are possibly disputing their recollection of testimony, and getting testimony read back by the court reporter takes time.
I'm not stressed about this. It's NOT as simple as "hey there's two videos, why not a guilty in ten seconds." I'm delighted when juries take their time. I want a very well-reasoned, well-debated verdict.
Have a good weekend.

'The Bumper Book of Crafty Activities' by Search Press should be at the top of your shopping list if you are a parent of a child aged 8-12 looking for low-cost activities for the summer holidays.
It's the age where children start to branch out from finger painting and pouring glitter glue everywhere to more advanced creative play.
Everything is bright and wonderful in this book. The tutorials are super-easy to follow, clearly illustrated and have alerts for when children should ask adults to help them.
The book is divided up into 13 sections covering Printing, Creative Lettering, Mosaics, Paper Mache, Origami, Handmade Cards, Collage, Clay Modelling, Beadwork, Decorative Painting and Paperfolding.
It's very educational too with information on everything from Picasso's art to Egypt which is perfectly pitched. I remember feeling really excited about Egypt when first studying it at the age of nine.
Introductions to the chapters include the history of the craft if your child wants to follow up to find out more about it.
Some of the projects don't require any costly items and instead encourage recycling of old yogurt and crisp pots - very Blue Peter!
There are over 100 projects to make in seven steps or less. This book really will keep your creative monsters entertained for weeks. Just remember to cover that table!
The Bumper Book of Crafty Activities is available from Search Press here.
Thanks to Search Press who sent me this book to review.
