Though it's only been open a couple weeks, Hanjip* is already proving to be one of the hottest tables in town. Bringing Korean BBQ out of K-Town, Hanjip is a must for BBQ lovers on the Westside, and for good reason. We're already big fans of restauranteur Stephane Bombet (his French restaurant, Terrine, is one of our favorite brunch spots), and partnering up with Chef Chris Oh (Seoul Sausage) seems like a strange but wonderful match made in foodie heaven. We came to dine on a weeknight and were pleasantly surprised to see the place bustling with people. The decor is markedly different than that of Terrine; instead of precious, beautiful details, the place is graphic, modern, and cool. And well, so was the food. Keep scrolling to see what we ordered.
As is typical with Korean BBQ, they started us off with a selection of small accoutrements, "Banchan," to hold us over while we waited on the meat. This included kimchi, potato salad, bean sprouts, fish cakes, an assortment of sauces, etc. It was all really good and a nice way to start off.
Perhaps my favorite of the night, the kimchi fried rice was fantastic. It had the soft, stickiness of a good fried rice, and the runny egg on top added to that even more. The spicy kimchi gave the dish a nice kick and a lot of flavor. We loved this and would come back in a second for more.
We decided to get the Beef Combo, as we thought this would give us a nice taste of a few things. The combo comes with Brisket, Boneless Short Rib, and a choice between Marinated Short Rib or Prime Ribeye, of which we picked the Ribeye.
All of the meat was really good. They clearly pick very high quality cuts, and the presentation was just beautiful. The Ribeye (on the left) was thick and juicy, while the boneless short rib (on the right) was really nice and tender.
The brisket was great too. It cooked quickly, and was fantastic when dipped in a bit of sauce. However, we felt that the meat in general could've used a bit more flavor. It could have just been the cuts we ordered, but they could've benefitted from a touch more seasoning or a marinade. When we sprinkled on a bit of salt and dipped them in some of the fantastic sauces they provided, it made a world of difference in terms of the flavor.
Overall, we really enjoyed the meal. Hanjip will only get hotter from here, and we can see why. With a cool space, a winning combination of experienced restauranteurs and a hot, rising Chef, and an option for Korean BBQ in Culver city, we're already predicting that westsiders will flock to this spot. With some incredibly interesting choices on the menu (Hamachi Collar, Uni Steamed Egg, and Bone Marrow Corn Cheese), we'll certainly be back soon for more.

Sermon Text: John 6: 1-14
One of the defining moments of my youth, and maybe one of the most self-indulgent stories I could tell. The 1978 World Cup, Scotland V Holland. Scotland had a terrible World Cup, losing to Peru and tying with Iran. They needed to beat Holland, one of the world's greatest teams at the time, by 3 goals to qualify from their group. An impossible task. Somehow Scotland found themselves 2-1 up. Archie Gemmill picks up the ball with 5 Dutch defenders in front of him. He slips it past the first guy. Plays it between the next 2, suddenly it has all opened up, just the goalkeeper to beat. He delicately chips it over the keeper and he scores. It was a beautiful thing.
A soccer ball, that's all it is, I can kick it around and make it look OK, but put it at the feet of Archie Gemmill with the whole Dutch defense in front of him and he does something extraordinary with it.
A simple paintbrush. I can use this and make some form of painting that will not be too pretty, but in the hands of a master, it produces the Mona Lisa. Something that is adored by millions for generations to come.
In the hands of the master, something beautiful and wonderful can be done with the most limited resources. And yes, I did just put Archie Gemmill's goal against Holland on the same level as the Mona Lisa…See full sermon here

The Venture School on Detroit's east side takes an innovative approach to nurturing young entrepreneurs
Drew Schantz is headed back to school next fall. This time, though, he'll be at the head of the class as founder and executive director of Venture School. When the school opens in September 2019, Schantz will have fulfilled a dream of creating the type of high school he wished he could've attended when he was groing up: one giving students the space and support to develop their entrepreneurial spirit.
While still in the planning stages, Schantz and his team of directors have narrowed their search for a facility to the Van Dyke and Seven Mile area on Detroit's east side where, he says, "there is a tremendous need for a quality high school."
In its simplest terms, Schantz says the mission of Venture School is to "bridge the gap between what's happening downtown and midtown to the neighborhoods." And by extension, a future generation of entrepreneurs. After all, as Schanz points out, Detroit has a rich history of innovation and today there is "such a vibrant entrepreneurial presence" throughout the city.
The ABCs
Sixty students will enter next year as the freshmen class, followed by a new group of 60 freshmen in 2020. Eventually the school will provide space for a maximum of 240 students in grades 9 – 12.
The teens comprising Venture School's student population, Schantz says, will come from area middle schools that don't have a traditional feeder high school. However, he's quick to point out that Venture School isn't poaching students from Detroit Public Schools.
Schantz says there will be no admission requirement and no tuition. When supply exceeds demand the school will institute a lottery system for admissions.
Curriculum at Venture School will be based on personalized learning platform Summit Learning, which originated at Summit School on the west coast. Specifically, it is a tool that springboards the expertise of educators to curate content that is tailored to students' abilities and interests.
Schantz explains the emphasis is on cognitive skills and project-based learning. "Students complete projects while the teachers have active roles in delivering content," he says.
Here is what students can expect on any given day.
• Project Learning Blocks which take the form of humanities followed by a STEM learning block, the core academic content. This involves students and teachers working together on projects.
• Personalized learning time is when students work on content-focused areas such as a project about Shakespeare, writing about the work's tone and voice, or underlying themes, or develop skills in mathematics.
• Finally, students are immersed in VentureLabs, an experiential education platform that is specific to the school.
While each day has a structure, so, too, do each of the academic years. The theme of the freshman year is discovery.

After the lunch stop in Endeavor, the ride will then continue with a stop at the Fox Lake Fire Department Car Show. The entourage will be passing through Cambria around 3:25 pm and on C.R. P and WI-73 in Randolph around 3:40 PM. The day will conclude at the Fireman's Park in Theresa around 5:15 PM. "At the Theresa Fireman's Park there will be a Memorial service to honor and remember those that have made the supreme sacrifice serving our communities and county," said Naab. Those being honored will be:
August 23 Army Staff Sgt. Matthew Thompson, Brookfield, Afghanistan (Army Staff Sergeant Matthew Thompson was killed by a roadside bomb on August 23 while on patrol in southern Afghanistan.)
October 31 John C. Brocker, Town of Oneida FD
February 25 FF Terrance (Terry) Shafer, Spring Valley FD
July 11 Assistant Chief Mitchell Koski, Montreal FD
October 30 Daniel Glaze, Rusk County Sheriff
March 22 Jason T. Weiland, Everest Metro Police Dept.
April 11 Anthony Borostowski, Wisconsin State Patrol
Pastor Renae Dymond of Still Waters UMC Community Church will assist paying tribute with a brief recognition ceremony along with Gina Crossley, our traditional bagpiper (sponsored by Hometown Towing and Schuette Heating and Air Conditioning).
The memorial service will be followed by a delicious pay-in-advance meal served by Leroy Meats of Horicon. Naab encourages, "The public is invited to attend any of our stops, especially the Memorial Service at Theresa." The ATR Committee does ask for pre-registration/payment for the evening meal for those that would like to join the entire rider.
The money raised from this very unique fund raiser supports a number of entities: Wisconsin Summer Camp for Burn Injured Youth, Badger Honor Flights, Veterans Assistance Program at King Veterans Center, Wisconsin State Firefighters Memorial, and Concerns of Police Survivors-Wisconsin.
For those that wish to partake in the ride, they may pre-register at the American tribute Ride website (www.americantributeride.com) or on Facebook. For further questions please contact Ron Naab (262/629-9749 or [email protected]), or Barb Pahl ([email protected]).

Meet Hannah...
A Tantric Healing Artist whose passion draws from a deep connection with Nature and all things Magic. Her deepest desire is to support others in discovering their own essential nature and power to bring forth their gifts to create the world their heart desires.
As a writer, community activist, shamanic healer, Magdalene priestess, and channel of the Divine Mother, Hannah's spiritual practice is rooted in Sacred Sexuality. Her mission is to activate Gaia Consciousness by helping men, women and transgender individuals connect with the essential nature of Spirit and Earth, bringing these forces into harmonious co-creative union within each being and the Collective.
In 2012, Hannah journeyed to Asheville, North Carolina to complete her certification in Flow Yoga at Asheville Yoga Center. She quickly fell in love with the wild spirit of Asheville and the Blue Ridge Mountains, and decided to lay down her roots. In 2014, Hannah had a transformational experience at a musical concert that set her on a path of sensual self-discovery, which eventually led her to Tantra. That same year, she started working and studying with Tantra Teacher Denise Greenfield at Tantric Retreat and, after two and a half years of in-depth training and apprenticeship, received her certification in Essence Tantra and became a full-time practitioner in 2016.
Shortly after, Hannah began working with Shamanic Teacher & Healer Bloom Post, and completed Bloom's Heart of Service Mentorship Program in April 2017. In June of that year, Hannah ventured forth to create a temple space all her own where she could freely share her unique style of Tantric Shamanism and ritual practice with all who feel the call to work with her.
In January of 2018, Hannah traveled to Costa Rica to take part in the International School of Temple Art's Spiritual Sexual Shamanic Experience, joining the ranks of the ISTA tribe's worldwide network of healers and visionaries pioneering teachings of sacred sexuality across the globe.
From her homebase Temple space, Hannah shares Tantric Healing Sessions and Ritual Workshops that support others in deepening their relationship with their own body temples and creative vitality. She offers guidance, tools, and a sacred container to explore Sex Magic, channeling sensual energy to bring the Mind and Spirit into sacred balance with the physical Body and Natural World. With the intention to heal ancestral wounds, protect and restore our natural environment, and midwife the New Earth for future generations, Hannah is dedicating her energy towards re-establishing connection with the Earth's rhythms of creation in divine partnership with the Cosmos.
"I stumbled my way onto the Tantric Path seeking guidance about my own sexual wounds and blockages. I had an intuitive sense that sensuality, artistic expression, and manifestation power were somehow linked, and if I could just unlock one, the others would flow. In the process of searching for the keys to my sexuality and sovereignty, I ultimately discovered the joys of swimming naked, dancing in the moonlight, singing by the fire, and walking barefoot on the Earth. It is my honor, my privilege, and my pleasure to share this healing dance with others."

I recently heard a great analogy about the CLASS tool and I had to share it. I can't take credit for the idea. Affiliate Trainer, Teresa Bockes, originated the concept, and I loved it the minute I heard it: CLASS is like a house. Let's build a house step-by-step to learn more about this metaphor.
You can't begin building a house until you have a solid foundation. Without a sturdy groundwork, your walls will crumble and your roof will never be raised. Likewise, you can't have a productive and effective relationship with the children in your classroom until you've formed an emotional connection with them. In the words of veteran teacher, Rita Pierson, "Kids don't learn from people they don't like."
The first CLASS domain you learn about in observation training is Emotional Support (ES). It's the groundwork for your relationship with a child. You welcome children by name with warm, calming voices (Positive Climate), ensure that they feel safe in the new classroom environment (Teacher Sensitivity), and following children's lead during storytime (Regard for Student Perspectives).
When it comes to building a house, many people tend to think that once the foundation has been poured, you can forget about it. But that's not true! Always check back in with yourself that you are still being respectful, addressing problems, and allowing for autonomy within the classroom. Any cracks in the foundation can cause structural issues later on.
Ok, so now you have a good, solid foundation on which to build the rest of your house. It's time to construct the walls that support the weight of your roof. Similarly, you can't expect children to make drastic academic gains without appropriate behavior expectations, clear routines, and effective facilitation techniques and materials.
Let's build the walls of Classroom Organization (CO). Are you able to redirect misbehavior if it comes up (Behavior Management)? Do your students know the routines and transitions (Productivity)? Have you hooked your student's interest with hands-on opportunities (Instructional Learning Formats)? When all these pieces are in place, the classroom becomes—in the words of the CLASS Manual—a "well-oiled machine." Now your students are ready for some serious learning.
Your foundation and walls complete! Your house has really started to take form, so, it's time for the last part of construction—the roof. Classrooms can function when teachers and students have a strong relationship, and when children know the rules and routines. But the Instructional Support (IS) domain is where the "height" of learning takes place (excuse the pun).
It's at this point in your "construction" that you're asking more from children's cognitive skills. You're asking open-ended questions (Language Modeling), brainstorming, problem-solving (Concept Development), and prompting them to explain their thinking (Quality of Feedback).
One way that CLASS differs from construction is that you don't necessarily have to build your CLASS house one piece at a time or in a specific order. I've heard that there is an underlying belief system that "I have to improve ES and CO before I can even begin to work on IS."
Research shows that you can see improvements in ES and CO while focusing on improving IS. When teachers were coached to improve Instructional Support (the roof) "The number of prompts spent on IS was positively associated with gains in all three domains—i.e., more IS prompts → greater CLASS score gains" (Pianta, 2014).
And as in any construction project, when unexpected hurdles arise, you might need to slow down and re-prioritize your goals. Improving Instructional Support scores is a common goal, but it's crucial to recognize that each part of the "CLASS house"—Emotional Support, Classroom Organization, and Instructional Support—all work together. So, while all three domains are interconnected, you can put the roof on while building the foundations and the walls. You can have a roof while building the foundation.
Recently, I wrote about research showing us just how few children experience even "good enough" teaching from kindergarten to third grade. Only 4% of children in rural areas of North Carolina and Pennsylvania had access to good enough teaching during these critical early years and over 50% only experienced good enough teaching for 1 year or less.
As I entered my 15th year of teaching young children and supporting adult learners, I found myself searching for answers. Answers to why CLASS implementation was so difficult, why teacher buy-in was such a challenge, and why long-term improvement seemed impossible. In my role as the Director of Curriculum and Instruction, I'm constantly checking the data. Data drives instruction, instruction drives learning, learning drives comprehension, and comprehension equals success!
The CLASS measure allows us to quantify the quality of teacher-child interactions—and that is a powerful thing. But collecting observation data, alone, does nothing to impact students. Improving child outcomes takes more than just data collection; it's what you do with the data that really matters.

All Elite Wrestling has a full head of steam, and with several major professional wrestling promotions on the prowl for any available wrestler with a name, the top-four promotions have all nabbed big-name free agents as the industry's landscape changes by the second.
After Jericho pledged his allegiance to AEW, though the details of his contract (if there is one) with the promotions are unknown, Kenny Omega remains the most coveted free agent in pro wrestling after announcing he will be leaving New Japan Pro Wrestling.
Backed by billionaire Shad Khan and the Khan family, AEW looks to be the real deal on the verge of a national TV deal. Another national wrestling company means an all-out bidding war for talent, and this translates to more money for pro wrestlers in a tumultuous profession where pay structures are on a much-needed upswing.
With the looming presence of AEW in a suddenly crowded national wrestling scene, the economics of pro wrestling are quickly evolving. WWE has become more aggressive in its offers to both high-profile free agents and developmental deals. Meanwhile, New Japan Pro Wrestling has changed its salary structure to offer multi-year deals to its talent.
The pro wrestling industry has been all but monopolized by WWE for years, and while the promotion will remain the worldwide leader in sports entertainment for years to come, the presence of AEW has led to a fractured climate in pro wrestling where WWE is no longer the assumed destination for talented free agents.
Below is a list of key free agent signings among All Elite Wrestling, WWE, New Japan Pro Wrestling and Ring of Honor.

Does your board need a New Year boost?
4 Simple Ways to Build A Healthier Board This Year.
January 2nd, 2018
Amielle DeWan, Hanna Lentz
As a nonprofit leader, the New Year probably has you planning personal aspirations as well as professional ones. Maybe you are hoping to protect more wild places? Save more animals? Or secure stronger environmental policies? As you and your teams rev up to tackle critical issues in the New Year, you want to set your organization up for success. Experts agree that one of the most important indicators of this success is having a healthy, high-functioning board (Jonker and Meehan 2014). So as you plan a better, stronger, and more impactful year ahead, a resolution to improve your nonprofit board may be just what you need.
What Board Improvements are Needed?
Healthy board culture and systems set up for strong governance are the backbone of an effective nonprofit board. These require elements relative to board roles and responsibilities, diversity, engagement, and accountability. For example:
- Does every board member understand what they should be doing and when? Is the difference between Executive/CEO and board-level decision-making clearly articulated, documented, and understood by all? If not, it is time to work on roles and responsibilities.
- Does your board have a mix of individuals with different perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences? Are a variety of viewpoints valued and integrated? If not, you need greater board diversity.
- Are board members passionate about animal and environmental issues while also dedicating the necessary time, capacity, and resources to supporting the organization? Do they regularly attend meetings, participate, and feel they are contributing in a meaningful way? If not, take a hard look at engagement.
- Does the board provide clear expectations about what it means to serve? Are board members and the CEO responsible for their actions? If not, take a critical look at accountability.
How To Give Your Board a New Year Boost
If your nonprofit board needs help in one or more of the areas listed above, it is time to address board culture and ensure systems are set up for success.
Start at the next in-person board meeting by building time into the agenda to discuss and brainstorm the elements of your board's culture. Provide space and opportunity for board members to socialize, get to know each other's strengths and passions, as well as their commitment to the organization's mission. What you will have is a roadmap for creating a happier, healthier, and more effective board, and the foundation for tackling the New Year's tips we highlight below.
Established Roles and Responsibilities
Bylaws should outline the differing roles of the board and Executive leadership, but these can often be vague and confusing. Clearly articulating roles and responsibilities helps mitigate unwanted conflicts in decision-making between Executive and the board, establishes work boundaries, and provides an overview for the expected contributions of new board members.
Review the existing documentation of roles and responsibilities with the board and identify any language that needs to be modified or clarified.
Ask the board to go through 1-2 real world scenarios of a decision-making process to test for consistency and consensus on the process. Update formal documentation to include examples as needed, and share with new board members as part of the on-boarding process.
Statistics indicate that most boards need to address diversity. Right now, only 20% of nonprofit board members in the United States are people of color. But increasing board diversity is not just about racial and ethnic diversity. Your board should also reflect a variety of socio-economic, gender, age, skillsets and industry backgrounds. Addressing board diversity ensures that your organization reflects the next generation of nonprofit leadership, and is better positioned to be truly innovative, creative, problem-solving, and high performing (Hunt et al. 2015).
Create a spreadsheet listing key qualifications and elements of diversity you would like to evaluate for representation and inclusion. Consider where appropriate: professional background, additional interests or skills, race, ethnicity, religion, gender, age, geography, socio-economic status, and strengths needed for effective board operation (ie, strategy, finance, management, development, communications).
Given your current board, where are the greatest gaps that need to be filled? Make any goals that you set around filling these gaps public to staff and the rest of the board, and reach out to new networks to fill open positions.
Board members must engage directly and deeply in the substantive work of their organization (Jonker & Meehan 2014) while closely tracking both the successes and failures, annually. Being an effective board member requires more than a love for animals and nature. When the board is engaged they are passionate but also committed to dedicating the necessary time, expertise, skills, and resources to an organization's strategy and ultimately, its success.
Review documentation of board culture and engagement. Do board members have a deep sense of the organization's mission and purpose? Consider requiring members to volunteer their time or visit program projects at least once or twice every three years.
If engagement and enthusiasm are low, survey your board to determine the barriers to engagement. Explore how meetings are run and conducted, to see how you can ensure that they focus on critical issues, at the right level of detail, while encouraging participation.
Alternatively, consider recruiting new members who may have more time and energy to contribute.
Although it is common on nonprofit boards to have individuals who are more or less engaged, individuals who do not meet reasonable benchmarks or who behave disrespectfully can deeply influence the culture and functioning of a board. A lack of accountability can quickly erode overall board culture, and efforts to improve roles and responsibilities, engagement, and diversity.
Review any board documents that set the foundation for culture, roles and responsibilities, engagement, and diversity. Are your board members in agreement about what is currently documented? If not, take time at the next board meeting to review these documents and brainstorm ideas for how to hold each other accountable for these practices.
Consider creating Board Leadership Plans, where individual members briefly articulate how they want to achieve their engagement, board culture, and responsibility goals for their next term. Review plans annually or bi-annually to make modifications, new commitments, or to celebrate successes.
Ensure there are the right metrics in place for the board to review annually. This includes Key Performance Indicators that document the health of financial, operational, and programmatic functions. The board can then provide appropriate guidance on organizational weaknesses and strengths, with guidance and course-correction as needed.
New Year, Better Board
At its worst, a weak board can undermine the success of an organization, but at its best a strong board will help your organization soar. With so much on the line, there is no time like the New Year to make a few changes that can help your board, and your organization, succeed.
If you have any questions about how to implement these tips please feel free to contact us. We'd also love to hear if you give these tips a try and how they work for you!

Nasa prepares to view comet up close
Astronomers are preparing for an up-close and personal look next week at a comet, which they say will provide the best extended view yet at that class of objects in the solar system. sale ugg boots
The Deep Impact spacecraft will pass within 700 kilometres of comet Hartley 2 at a speed of 43, 000 kilometres per hour on November 4. Its mission, dubbed Epoxi, is to take high resolution images of the comet's nucleus using two telescopes with digital and an infrared spectrometer.
Scientists have captured close images of four other comets, but never one with such a small nucleus, and hope Hartley 2 will provide new details about the composition of comets and the formation of the solar system.
Deep Impact is being reassigned after delivering a probe to crash into the comet Tempel 1 in 2005, in the first such look at the inner material of a comet. The mother ship, however, remained in good condition, and NASA decided to repurpose the spacecraft for a look at another comet.
Hartley 2 is much smaller - with a nucleus that is about a kilometre wide - and more visible from Earth than Tempel 1, providing scientists a chance to compare the celestial objects. They also hope to learn about jets of material emitted by comets. discount ugg boots
The orbiting bodies of ice, dust and gas are considered key to learning about the formation of the solar system, because they are believed to be leftover building blocks of the early solar system that may have brought water and other organic compounds to Earth.
The craft will send back 64, 000 pictures with its camera, which is fine tuned enough to "distinguish between a car and a pickup truck" from 640 kilometres away, said Amy Walsh, lead engineer of the mission. Deep Impact has already been sending back images as it nears Hartley 2 and will continue to do so even after passing close by the comet, collecting a total of 11 weeks of data.
The comet was discovered by Australian astronomer Malcolm Hartley in 1986 during a survey of the southern sky.

From reads to disease variants
21 - 25 October 2019
Granada, SpainFrom reads to disease variants http://courseswiki.clinbioinfosspa.es/gatk2019/start https://tess.elixir-europe.org/events/from-reads-to-disease-variants Massive sequencing is becoming mainstream in many fields of biomedicine, including the clinical practice. However, the management of sequencing raw data to transform them into valuable biological information on variants and its further interpretation is still a complex task that requires of intensive computing and trained personnel. This course covers all the steps from the raw sequencing data, produced by the sequencers, to the obtention of lists of variants using the popular GATK software. The course is followed by a tutorial on the IVA, a powerful and intuitive web interface for the interactive prioritization and detection of disease variants. GATK workshops are designed to provide a comprehensive onboarding experience to new users, as well as access to more advanced understanding for users who are already familiar with the toolkit. 2019-10-21 09:15:00 UTC 2019-10-25 13:30:00 UTC Fundación Progreso y Salud (FPS), Broad Institute and the Spanish National Bioinformatics Institute (INB/ELIXIR-ES) Granada, Spain Granada Spain Fundación Progreso y Salud (FPS) [] mixed audienceGATK newbiesvariant discovery newbiesGATK expertsGATK users workshops_and_courses [] Variant callingVariant discoveryGATKdisease variantpriorizationgenomics

This is a paid review. I was compensated for my time. I was not required to provide a positive review and all opinions expressed are my own.
There is no better time than now to teach your child about the United States presidential election. For my kids, the best way to teach things like this is through hands-on activities, so we are using the Homeschool in the Woods Elections LapPak.
The extremely in depth lapbook takes you through the election process with reading material and hands-on projects that will reinforce lessons, as well as introduce your child to brand new information. The 21 lap booking projects incorporate creative writing, coloring, research and more.
The reading text comes in two very easy to use formats that you can print.. Each page can be used in a binder or a 24-page booklet. Also provided is the text on audio, so your child can read along with the narrator or work on projects while listening!
Easy to use step-by- step illustrated directions contain printing and assembly instructions for the text booklet, each project, and the lapbook assembly.
Activities Include:
- Definition of "Election"
- Different Forms of Government
- The American Experiment
- The Three Branches of Government
- Suffrage
- Who Do We Vote For?
- Terms of Office
- A "Handful" of Political Parties
- Caucuses; Primaries
- National Conventions
- The Presidential Campaign: Platform
- The Presidential Campaign: Stump Speaking
- The Presidential Campaign: Media — News Source
- The Presidential Campaign: Campaign Advertising — Spreading the Word!
- Raising Money
- Statistics
- Election Day
- The Electoral College
- Inauguration Day
- The Electoral Race!
- The "Vocabinet"
I will admit that I was a bit hesitant to jump into this project with my children. It was quite overwhelming in the beginning and given the fact that we had tried lapbooks in the past, I was not excited. However, I was definitely proven wrong. The instructions were easy to follow and my children were engaged and learned A LOT about the election process. They were able to retain much more information than they would have if they were only reading a text book.
A long list of additional suggested resources is offered should you wish to embellish the study with additional reading. However, it really is not even necessary.
As a homeschooling mom, I could not be more excited to recommend this wonderful resource to other homeschooling families. Since we are in an election year, this is the perfect time to get your children interested in the election process of the United States!
You can purchase the downloadable lapbook from Homeschool In The Woods for $18.95. However, one lucky reader will win a downloadable copy of the Elections lapbook for FREE. To enter, simply use the Rafflecopter form below. All entries will be verified. The winner will be announced on Friday 10/21! Good luck!

suec wrote:I agree that people differ in how much they need to be with others and also depending on stages in their lives. I live alone, have done so for many years, and am very happy. I chose this because I need a lot of personal space and solitude on a daily basis. I believe I was born this way but also am used to it too. I couldn't contemplate living with someone else. But it's balanced by going out to work and seeing friends and family. I wouldn't like it at all without that.
I'm much like suec here...I also live alone and wouldn't have it any other way. I am very content in my own company. But I probably enjoy my 'me' time more because I spend all day at work with coworkers and friends. And I can't imagine a life where I never saw my family again.
I think Alex really thought that he could do it since he was naturally a pretty solitary young man. But it was the boredom that got him. An endless time doing the same thing, collecting the same things...he had a mind that needed new challenges. And once that sliver of doubt planted itself in his mind, he realized that he did need more than the attic could provide. And that included not only new challenges, but people, too.

Transition believes fork offset needs to change. A shorter fork offset brings the front axle rearward, moving it under the rider. Combined with the shorter stem lengths that are now popular, you gain better front wheel traction.

Safe Space
"Safe Space" is a data driven application that enables a better communication and understanding between patients and doctors in a connected cloud system. I created the final web application prototype during the 2days intense Health Hackathon by collaborating with Javiera Paz Arenas and Caroline Brustowicz (from Parsons MFA Transdisciplinary Design and Product Design.) In Hack Health 2016, Our team member presented the project to industry experts in healthcare systems, information technology, data visualization, and ethnography; and global firms Cognizant Digital Works, ReD Associates, and Idea Couture. Hack Health was the New School funded hackathon to re-imagine Health, Healthcare, and digital solutions Friday through Sunday, Oct 21-23.
Brainstorming with Transdisciplinarity Design, Product Design and Design Management students, discussing how to make a better healthcare service for the future.
The 2-days intense ideation process from Friday to Sunday was an amazing learning experience for me to deeply dig into design process as well as how to collaborate people from different disciplines outside of my major because I have often more focused on dealing with technological issues rather than developing theoretical framework in Design and Technology program.

What a tractor unit is used for
Also known as tractor heads, tractor units are high powered haulage machines that can tow your plant machinery long distances with ease.
The most common axle types are 4×2, 6×2 and 6×4, but it's possible to find bigger tractor trailers with 6×6, 8×6, 8×8, 10×8, and 10×10 axles.
In places such as Africa where they have poor roads, a steel leaf spring is advised as stones can get stuck and wear a hole in the bag.
Used tractor units for sale
If you are looking for used tractor units for sale in the UK, our range covers DAF tractor units, Scania tractor units, Volvo tractor units, Iveco tractor units, Mercedes tractor units and MAN tractor units.
Once you've decided on a truck, we can organise shipping anywhere in the world.
