Samsung Galaxy Note5 vs Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+
posted by John V. / Aug 26, 2015, 6:13 AM
It's not even September yet, but things are surely heating up as we eventually get into the thick of things with the upcoming holiday season. After having such a rousing hit with its two premium offerings from earlier the year, Samsung isn't wasting any time by launching two other high-prized prized devices in its stable – the Samsung Galaxy Note5 and the Galaxy S6 edge+. These two new entrants undoubtedly help to diversify the company's portfolio, which is still generating interest from consumers all around after the release of the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge.
Following the same path they've threaded last year, where they also unveiled two phablets for the fall season, we're faced with nearly the same predicament as before – wherein there's a decision needed for which of the two should you buy. Like last year, the differences between the two are mostly subtle, but meaningful. We know, it's tough cookies considering the hefty amount you'll need to shell to pick up either of them, but we'll do our best to dissect exactly what accompanies each one.
First, let's talk about the good between their designs. That, folks, has to be none other than their premium exteriors – ripped from the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge that preceded them. While we're not as enthused this time around, we still have to point out the exceptional quality that's oozing from the seams with their metal-meets-glass construction. They're beautiful no matter what angles they're viewed from, just because there's a dazzling show produced when light bounces off their glass surfaces.
The more we look at the two, we're still compelled by the slicker aesthetics that accompany the Galaxy S6 edge+. Naturally, it's due to the dual-curved display, which also made the Galaxy S6 edge stand out over the standard Galaxy S6.
The Galaxy Note5 is the more ergonomic to hold in the hand of the two, and in the long run, much more comfortable to hold, despite it being the being ever so slightly wider, thicker, and heavier. Sure, they're both slick feeling and prone to smudges due to the glass surfaces, but our hand is better able to grasp the Galaxy Note5 because of how those curved edges in the back conform to our grip. Conversely, the Galaxy S6 edge+ still exhibits a subtle of sharpness around its sides and it just never feels as natural to hold. All told, the Galaxy S6 edge+ earns the style award – whereas the Galaxy Note5 feels better in the hand thanks to its proper ergonomics.
Despite that, the two share the same set of arsenal that make them so cutting edge. Specifically, they feature the same lickety-split finger print sensor, heart rate sensor in the rear to measure our pulse, built-in wireless charging, and rapid charging microUSB 2.0 ports. Even the placement of their buttons and ports is the same, so there's no one that has an advantage over the other. By now, though, we all know what makes each one so unique. For the Galaxy Note5, it comes with that pressure sensitive stylus we've come to know and love with the series – while the Galaxy S6 edge+, as its name implies, gets its uniqueness from its dual-curved display.

On the specs side, the two behemoths share nearly identical 5.7-inch 1440 x 2560 (Quad-HD) Super AMOLED displays. But of course, the visual difference here is in how the Galaxy S6 edge+'s screen is curved on both edges. At the very least, details are exquisitely sharp and plentiful, so there's equal balance in this regard. Beyond that, there are some qualities that favor one over the other in certain categories, but for the sake of argument, we're dealing with similarly performing screens.
Display measurements and quality
|Maximum brightness Higher is better
|Minimum brightness (nits) Lower is better
|Contrast Higher is better
|Color temperature (Kelvins)
|Delta E rgbcmy Lower is better
|Delta E grayscale Lower is better

The numbers below represent the amount of deviation in the respective property, observed when a display is viewed from a 45-degree angle as opposed to direct viewing.

The CIE 1931 xy color gamut chart represents the set (area) of colors that a display can reproduce, with the sRGB colorspace (the highlighted triangle) serving as reference. The chart also provides a visual representation of a display's color accuracy. The small squares across the boundaries of the triangle are the reference points for the various colors, while the small dots are the actual measurements. Ideally, each dot should be positioned on top of its respective square. The 'x: CIE31' and 'y: CIE31' values in the table below the chart indicate the position of each measurement on the chart. 'Y' shows the luminance (in nits) of each measured color, while 'Target Y' is the desired luminance level for that color. Finally, 'ΔE 2000' is the Delta E value of the measured color. Delta E values of below 2 are ideal.
These measurements are made using SpectraCal's CalMAN calibration software.
The Color accuracy chart gives an idea of how close a display's measured colors are to their referential values. The first line holds the measured (actual) colors, while the second line holds the reference (target) colors. The closer the actual colors are to the target ones, the better.
These measurements are made using SpectraCal's CalMAN calibration software.
The Grayscale accuracy chart shows whether a display has a correct white balance (balance between red, green and blue) across different levels of grey (from dark to bright). The closer the Actual colors are to the Target ones, the better.

how is the S6 edge+ screen better in PA's tests if they both use the same panels?

Same Panels But Different Optimization, May Have Something To Do With The Edge's Curved Screen.

You are right, Clars123. According to displaymate, it's not better. they do use the same panel and generate the same maximum brightness, which under auto brightness is much brighter than what is reported here.

Agreed. It was a hard choice to make, but the Note 5 is a looker too & I had to pick functionality over form.

Same way I felt. Both are gorgeous, but the Notes features sealed it. My only regret is not having it in gold.

note5 is the obvious answer here unless you like the design of the edge+ or that you are so stupid you can not even put the s-pen the correct way

Yeah, if I had to choose right now, it would be the Note5. And i would have to keep it away from every member of my family. It's not stupidity, really. Folks just do things not thinking it makes a difference.

I picked the s6 edge plus for one simply reason.. The s pen was used less and less on both my note 3 and 4 so what that being said I chose the cooler screen and I wanted the gold platinum which isn't a color for the note 5 or AT&T

Meanwhile in Europe, still waiting for Note5. The Edge+ is just too expensive with €799 for 32gb.

I actually was able to use both devices for a few days and decided to keep the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus. Yes it may offer "less value" since it's missing the S Pen but in reality I never use the S Pen. I've had the Note 1 through 4 and the S Pen always stayed in its compartment for the most part. The S6 Edge Plus just seem like the best of the two devices. There is no denying that the curve screen is just gorgeous. The unique design just makes the device a joy to use. Plus it's a great differentiator over all other Smartphones in the market. It has a nice Wow factor to it.

The Edge Plus is expensive but it's nothing if your doing a monthly payment plan for it. Most US Carriers aphave plans designed to make purchasing these devices easier for the end user. Yes it's expensive but well worth it. Still loving it with not 1 con in site. My previous cons have become a non-issue (removable battery and SD). The battery was my major concern but it gets me throughout the day without issue. I purchased the 64gb version and it seems to be enough thanks to the free cloud storages from One Drive and Google.

Ugh the note 5 shouldve just had a real leather removable back (like the lg g4) and keep the ability of an sd card & removable battery... this Apple copying s**t is pissing me off.. they start taking away things that Apple has never had and now the IR blaster? Pretty soon theyre gonna go full on Apple and have no NFC & an all metal design with an S where the iPhones Apple would be...

Pet Food Co. Knew Of Problem Last Month
"That's a huge number, considering when you feed pet food no animal should die," says CBS News The Early Show veterinarian Dr. Debbye Turner.
A federal investigation is focusing on wheat gluten as the likely source of contamination that sparked a recall last Friday of 60 million cans and pouches of the suspect food, said Stephen F. Sundlof, the Food and Drug Administration's top veterinarian.
"I'm certain someone's going to figure this out because there are a lot of pet foods involved, a lot of pets involved and a lot of veterinarians who are upset," Dr. Ann Hohenhaus of New York's Animal Medical Center told CBS News.
Wheat gluten, a protein source, is commonly used as filler.
Agency investigators are looking at other ingredients as well. The wet-style pet food was made by Menu Foods, an Ontario, Canada-based company. The FDA on Monday had investigators at Menu plants in Emporia, Kan., and Pennsauken, N.J.
Menu Foods told the FDA it received the first complaints of kidney failure and deaths among cats and dogs from pet owners on Feb. 20. It began new tests on Feb. 27.
During those tests, the company fed its product to 40 to 50 dogs and cats and seven animals — the mix of species was not immediately known — died, Sundlof said. The contamination appeared more deadly to cats than to dogs, he said.
"Cats seem to be more susceptible to acute renal failure, what which is what this toxin is causing," Turner told Early Show co-anchor Harry Smith.
The recall now covers dog food sold throughout North America under 51 brands and cat food sold under 40 brands, including Iams, Nutro and Eukanuba. The food was sold under both store and major brand labels at Wal-Mart, Kroger, Safeway and other large retailers.
The FDA has yet to tally how many reports it has received of cats and dogs suffering kidney failure or death. The company has reported just 10 deaths, of nine cats and a single dog.
"We are still trying to find out what the true picture is out there of animals. We're talking about 1 percent of the pet food (supply) and it's really just impossible to extrapolate at this point," Sundlof said.
Menu Foods spokeswoman Sarah Tuite told Associated Press Radio the company was "still trying to figure out the cause."
"We're testing and testing, but we can't identify the problem in the product," Tuite said.
Other companies — Nestle Purina PetCare Co., Procter & Gamble and Hill's Pet Nutrition Inc. — said that as a precaution they were voluntarily recalling some products made by Menu Foods.
A complete list of the recalled products along with product codes, descriptions and production dates was available from the Menu Foods Web site. The company also designated a phone number that pet owners could call for information — (866) 895-2708. The lines have been swamped by callers.
Tuite said the company has added more people and lines to cope with the calls. Callers who get a recording saying the line is out of order should try again, she added.
Concerned pet owners are calling veterinarians, too.
"All morning we've been getting phone calls," said one.
The company became aware of a potential problem after it received an undisclosed number of owner complaints that dogs and cats were vomiting and suffering kidney failure after eating its products.
Tuite told AP earlier the recalled products were made using wheat gluten purchased from a new supplier, which has since been dropped.
The FDA hasn't confirmed the identity of that company, but its Web site suggests it supplies only animal feed manufacturers, Sundlof said.
Wheat gluten itself wouldn't cause kidney failure, leading FDA investigators to suspect contamination by other substances, including heavy metals like cadmium and lead or fungal toxins. Aflatoxin, a corn fungus, sparked a 2005 dog food recall.
"In this case, we've just got renal failure and there are probably dozens of environmental contaminants, toxins, bacteria that might provoke an episode of renal failure," said Hohenhaus. "I don't think anyone has an idea right now."
The new recall covers the company's "cuts and gravy" style food, which consists of chunks of meat in gravy, sold in cans and small foil pouches from Dec. 3 to March 6.
The company said it makes pet food for 17 of the top 20 North American retailers. It is also a contract manufacturer for the top branded pet food companies.
Meanwhile, the inability of customers to get through to Menu Foods was proving frustrating on Monday.
Michael Ritter, 38, of Washington, Pa., met a busy signal countless times over the weekend after learning about the recall from local news reports. He wonders if pouches of Special Kitty-brand food from the local Wal-Mart were to blame for the kidney failure and death of his 3-year-old cat Cosmo.
Ritter's voice started to break as he described the loss of his cat a week before. "You get attached to them. You really do," Ritter said.
He said he was tired of trying to reach Menu Foods, and was going to contact someone else: a lawyer.
Laura Iskowitz, 33, of Monroe Township, N.J., was equally frustrated, saying she had called the information line "a hundred times" over the weekend.
She believed packages of Iams, Companion and Nutro-brand wet food were possibly to blame for the kidney-failure death of her 3-year-old dog Angel, a Labrador retriever mix.
"She truly was my best friend. And because of this food I don't have her anymore," Iskowitz, who has lived alone since Angel was euthanized on Jan. 30, told CBS News.

Wildlife in Danger!Read Now
Have you ever read the book, 'What Can We Do About Endangered Animals?' It is a great book! If you haven't read it, I think you should. The author's name is Suzanne Slade.
The book is about endangered animals. It mostly tells which animals are endangered and what we can do to help them. It ways we should be careful that they don't eat our garbage, and also to stop people from killing the animals. It says we can help by telling other people about the problem too.
I like this book because the author is trying to help animals. I understand that people are killing too many of them. Everyday lots of animals are disappearing. It is SO TERRIBLE!
I think kids should read this book because it is short, good, and they can learn more about a big problem. If you haven't read it, I recommend it to you.

In the Iranian capital, all anyone can talk about is the rial, and how lives have been turned upside down in one terrible week. Every elevator ride, office visit or quick run to the supermarket brings new gossip about the currency's drop and a swirl of speculation about who is to blame.
"Better buy now," one rice seller advised Abbas Sharabi, a retired factory guard, who had decided to buy 900 pounds of
"As I was gathering my money, the man received a phone call," said Mr. Sharabi,
While only a few people actually need to exchange the rial for foreign currency, its value is one of the few clear indicators of the state of the economy, and its fall has sharply raised the prices of most staples.Continue reading the main story
In Tehran, many residents spend their days calling on money changers and visiting banks, deliberating whether to sell their rials now or wait for a miracle that would restore the rates to old levels, or for even a modest rally from the panic-driven lows of the last week.
"The fluctuations are so large that nobody knows whether it is better to wait or to change now," said Ahmad, 65, as he shared a taxi to the west Tehran neighborhood of Sadeghiyeh. "I am so fed up," said Ahmad, a garment seller, who like others here did not want to be identified by his full name for fear of retribution from the authorities. "I want to have a normal life, but from breakfast, to lunch to dinner, everybody only nervously talks of hard currency."
Like many residents of the capital, Ahmad had tuned in to President
Instead, Mr. Ahmadinejad attributed most of the rial's weakness to currency speculators and the sanctions, saying that it is only natural that the currency should suffer when it is possible to sell oil only in small quantities and when it is hard to make international bank transfers. His opponents say he is trying to avoid blame for his own mismanagement of the economy. He even went so far as to threaten to quit.
"He has made a mess, and now he wants to leave us," Ahmad said of the president. But a passenger in the taxi named Mostafa interrupted.
Just a day later, on Wednesday, clashes erupted when riot police officers on motorcycles dispersed sidewalk money changers near Tehran's main bazaar. The government has accused them of deliberately manufacturing the currency crisis. At the bazaar, an important trade hub, shopkeepers closed their shutters, and hundreds of citizens joined them in a protest against the bad economy.
While life seemingly returned to normal on Thursday, the outburst of public anger exposed the deep feeling of hopelessness that has taken hold among many Iranians.
Experts are divided about whether the crisis has been caused more by Tehran's longtime mismanagement of the country's economy or by the American-led sanctions, which have been imposed over Iran's refusal to halt a nuclear program that the West suspects is a cover for developing weapons. Whatever the cause, members of the once-vibrant middle class have turned into cynics, many of whom say they might be alive, but are not living.

Among the country's Afghan community, a mix of refugees and guest laborers, some were debating whether to leave Iran. Their currency, the afghani, had gained considerably against the rial, effectively slashing their already meager wages.

Mitra, 47, had just returned from the dance class she teaches several times a week and was getting ready to head out for the dress shop that she runs with her husband. Her eyes welled with tears when she heard the rial's latest rates.
"My only hope is to get my 23-year-old son out of this place," she said. She had been trying to get him into
At Tehran's currency market, traders quietly started buying and selling again after the raid on Wednesday, though few people were willing to part with dollars. While government officials announced that the rial would strengthen as soon as they had their own foreign currency exchange center up and running, many traders were skeptical.
"It all comes down to this," said a trader named Akbar. "As long as sanctions continue, the rial will continue to lose value."Continue reading the main story

Caparo v Dickman [1990] UKHL 2

Case Summary of Caparo Industries plc v Dickman [1990] UKHL 2
Caparo1 is the landmark case which has created the tripartite test in establishing duty of care2. This test departs from Donoghue v Stevenson3 and the Wilberforce test laid down in Anns v Merton London Borough Council4 which starts from the assumption that there is a duty of care and that harm was foreseeable unless there is good reason to judge otherwise5. Whereas Caparo starts from the assumption no duty is owed unless the criteria of the three stage test is satisfied. These criteria are: Foreseeability, Proximity and whether it is fair, just and reasonable to impose such a duty6. Yet this approach has been critiqued7 by over complicating "neighbour" principle in Donoghue. Moreover, there is an abundance of case law which moves away from the Caparo test altogether8.
A firm of accountants appealed against a decision of the Court of Appeal in which it was decided that the accountants owed a duty of care to the appellant shareholders when producing an audit report required by statute. The claim was for negligent misstatement. Caparo had bought shares in the company of which the report was about as part of a takeover. The appellant had relied upon the results of the report. However, it was later found that the results of the report had misrepresented the profits of the firm, in turn causing a loss for Caparo9.
The House of Lords reversed the decision of the COA and held that no duty of care had arisen in relation to existing or potential shareholders. The only duty of care the auditor`s owed was to the governance of the firm. It was found that three factors had to exist for there to be a duty of care which where: Proximity, Knowledge of who the report would have been communicated to and for what purposes it would have been used. Lord Bridge commented that cases where duty of care did arise10 was illustrated in Smith v Eric S Bush.11 The case holds the principle that it is reasonable to impose a duty of care for valuers of a property to those those purchasing a family home as this was commonplace. Finally, there had to be knowledge that the shareholders or investors would rely on the report in regards to the transaction. Furthermore, the judges noted that audit reports of plc`s are regularly carried out which differs from reports carried out for specific purposes and for an identified audience. Thus, the accountants owed no duty to the entire public who might or might not place reliance on the report when making financial decisions. Moreover, appointing liability would open the floodgates to society as JEB Fasteners Ltd v Marks Bloom & Co12 distinguished. Thusly, limitations have to be set when pure economic loss occurs in the absence of contractual agreements between parties. It is also noted that the judgement accepts that there are circumstances where an auditor will owe a duty of care in respect of reports produced. These are conditional that at the time the report is prepared that is known by the auditors that the results are for a specific class for a specific purpose13. This is acknowledged in Morgan Crucible v Hill Samuel14 and Law Society v KPMG Peat Marwick15.
Although the facts of Caparo16 where based on the pure economic loss, the HOL developed the tripartite test in establishing a general duty of care.17Yet Lord Bridge acknowledged:
"The inability of any single general principle to provide a practical test which can be applied to every situation to determine whether a duty of care is owed and if so, what is its scope.18"
Thus rendering the general application unclear. This is poignant in cases of physical injury illustrated by Perrett v Collins19 in which the last two stages of the Caparo test where debated20. It was Hobhouse LJ who argued that adopting the stipulations of Caparo: "extended decisions upon `economic` loss to cases of personal injuries".21 Mirroring Lord Bridge in Caparo itself. Hobhouse LJ added that: "In the common law there has always been a distinct category for causing physical injury to the human body and to goods22". This distinction is echoed by many academics who state that personal loss is the very substance on which the law of negligence is established.23 Therefore, the courts contend that it is this reasoning that issues that derive from economic loss, are different from issues of personal loss .Furthermore, Lord Hobhouse uses case law which corresponds with the case rather than the tripartite test24. This stance is upheld by the dissenting opinion of Lord Lloyd in Mark Rich & Co. v Bishop Rock Marine25 who concluded that in order to resolve the case the clear-cut application of Donoghue need only apply.
This stance has been reiterated in the 21st Century, even in cases of pure economic loss.26 This is exemplified in Arthur JS Hall & Co. v Simons27, which mainly considers the third stage of the test, in which stage one and two where so obvious that discussion was left absent. This same approach in which judges see no reason to create a complicated three stage test is reverberated further in Customs & Excise v. Barclays Bank28. In the case it was considered whether the bank owed a duty of care when given knowledge that Customs had acquired a freezing order over the accounts of some of their customers. The judges ruled upon analysis of the third stage of the tripartite test29. Which has been regarded by some academics as: "A simple search for the best result30". Further examination of the tripartite test in regards to pure economic loss is considered by Lord Geoff in Henderson v Merrett Syndicates Ltd31 which is, Identified as falling within the "Hedley Byrne32 principle"33 in which the test of Caparo is set aside34.
To conclude the issues of the case is surmised perfectly by the legal stance in Coulthard and others v Neville35 which concludes that the application of Caparo is:
"In a state of transition or development as the HOL pointed out …. this is an area of law which is developing pragmatically and incrementally. It is pre-eminently an area in which the legal result is sensitive to the facts."
Thus, judges are more and more using their discretion not only in cases of physical injury but in cases of pure economic loss in order to achieve the best result deriving from the specifics of that case, limiting the scope and application of Caparo.

Happy spring to you! Well, to those of you in the Northern Hemisphere, I don't want to be hemispherist. Happy Fall if you live on the southern half of the planet. If you live at the equator, which seasons do you go with? Is it Spring, Fall? Neither? Both? I know that there are less dramatic seasonal changes on the equator, but still. What season is it?
Anyway, it's spring! In this particular chunk of the Northern Hemisphere, cherry blossoms are blossoming in a comforting way, that signals that winter's grip on us has loosened and it won't last forever. And when spring comes, so does rhubarb. Seeing it growing in the garden fills is so hopeful; I love the alien little ball of anemic, pale and slightly slimy leaves, poking through the dirt.
Financiers are little French almond teacakes. They are pretty casual and unfussy as far as French pattiserie goes. If you happen to be in Paris, or anywhere else with a Maison Kayser, I strongly recommend a bag of their pistachio financiers. They are so buttery, so pistachio-y. I have tried, but never quite managed, to replicate their glorious pistachiosity. If you aren't currently in Paris, New York or Tokyo (boo) then you can make them at home. They are really easy to make, and they can easily convert to being gluten free with a flour swap, or use hazelnuts or pistachios in place of almonds if you prefer. These ones are are crispy on the outside, soft and buttery on the inside and with lovely little strawberry rhubarb centres.
More financiers: apple & hazelnut, raspberry & caramelized white chocolate
strawberry rhubarb compote:
3 cups rhubarb, chopped
2 cups strawberries, quartered
1/3 cup sugar (or a bit more, to taste)
1 tsp vanilla
Cook all ingredients together over medium low heat, until rhubarb is falling apart. Strain liquid off the compote and set aside for another use, like a tasty spring cocktail. The compote and syrup can be stored in fridge for around a week, or in the freezer for a couple months.
strawberry rhubarb financiers:
adapted from cannelle et vanille
120 grams egg whites
125 grams sugar
55 grams all purpose flour or white rice flour
25 grams almond meal
30 grams hazelnuts, toasted and ground into meal
1 tsp vanilla
150 grams butter, melted and cooled (browning the butter will add extra nuttiness!)
1/2 cup strawberry rhubarb compote
Combine sugar, flour, nut meals and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Add egg whites and stir to combine. Stir in butter, cover bowl with plastic wrap and age in the fridge overnight.
Generously grease financier tins or muffin tins. Fill with batter; only about 1/2 inch high if you are using muffin tins, up to the brim if you are using financier tins. Put 2 tsp of compote in the centre of each financier.
Bake at 375°F for about ten minutes, until the centres are set and the edges are browned. Cool and then run a knife around the edge of the tins and gently remove the financiers.

This webinar was life-changing! It actually made me cry while I watched it and I recall specific tips and use them almost every day in my alternative classroom. There is no way I could have survived this past year without Love & Logic and these incredibly helpful stories and skills. Must see!
KK/March 4, 2017
Jedd is a wonderful, engaging presenter who brings a bunch of experience to the table. His talk is filled with hilarious and heart-tugging stories that both teach and entertain. One caveat is that Jedd is not teaching from a PowerPoint. He's not going to go these are the four techniques to use in this situation. The worksheets that one can print out with this seminar are just an excerpt from the main materials one would get if attending in person (at least that is how it seems.) I think that this would be a lot better if they worked on the accompanying materials which need updating and more cohesiveness. Still, I'm glad I watched. Another regret is that I will not be able to re-watch this as the link expires after three weeks. I believe one would benefit from watching this multiple times.

A car with planned journey of about 600 kms travels at a very high speed of 300 kmph. It meets with an accident in traffic (it rammed into a truck). The car must be left in workshop, its occupants must be hospitalized. Thenafter the occupants must come out of the hospital and the car be taken out from workshop. Thenafterwards continue the journey.
Another car travels at a reduced speed of 120 kmph and reaches the destination in just 6 hours.
These days, the entire human race is making progress at alarming speeds that they are and they will be meeting with lot of accidents. In just 100 years, lot of forests have been replaced by cities. Thousands of years of walking habit has been immediately replaced by moving on motorcycles, buses, trains and aeroplanes. The mind has started to absorb maximum energy released by food. The entire balance has become upset tremendously.
Sometimes a car moving at 300 kmph and meeting with accident cause death of all occupants inside. The car also will suffer " beyond economical repair damage "
The human race must reduce its speed or else there will not be any human race on Earth

The speech lacked focus. He did not deliver it with much conviction, kept contrasting what happened "in the past" and how those days are over. His tone never wavered. He didn't pause for effect. I don't think he ever used the noun, "victory," or any form of the verb, "to win."
Don't get me wrong, there were some good things it, especially the points he made about Pakistan, but it was as Charles Krauthammer put it, a "strange speech."
UPDATE: I'm pretty happy with the president's plan, saved for his insistence on an "Exit Strategy." He just seemed too defensive and didn't really make the case for this plan, doing more to respond to the naysayers, more like the way a blogger responds to a critical comment than to the way he writes a post.
UP-UPDATE: Krauthammer pretty much summarized my thoughts. Ok, right now, I really don't watch to blog about this. May watch the second part of a miniseries about a more determined leader.

Discussion Paper on Federation and Multi Academy Trust Status
Small village schools are a valuable educational asset. They lie at the heart of the rural communities that they serve and are well placed to nurture a child's potential during early years, to connect learning with ethical values and to develop a sense of responsibility.
However, no matter how well such schools perform, in an era of shrinking public money smallness brings vulnerability - funding depends on pupil numbers so even minor fluctuations in these can have major effects on available resource. If a stand-alone school is not viable financially there is threat of closure.
It has been Government policy to encourage successful schools to reform along the lines of an independent business – to become self managed Academies, no longer under the control of the Local Authority but directly responsible to the Department of Education and centrally funded. This only becomes financially viable for schools of more than 350 pupils. Smaller schools seeking greater security must explore co-operation with others either by means of federation or by entering a Multi-Academy Trust.
A Federation is an example of a formal co-operative grouping of schools. Member schools remain under the jurisdiction of the Local Authority (LA) but there is a single Governing Body (GB) whose duties relate to all the schools in the federation. Each school will have its day to day running managed by a Head of School but in overall charge will be an Executive Head responsible for co-ordinating the work of the Heads of School and Senior Leadership teams and designing the business plans for member schools. It is common practice for federations to set up Local Advisory Bodies for each school. These generally will include a pair of Governors, a senior member of the school staff and up to four parents. Such a body has no executive powers but can alert the central GB to local issues and adds an extra conduit for internal communication. Schools in a Federation continue to be funded as separate bodies through their LA funding formula and staff are appointed in the usual way to work at specific school sites with their contracts held by County but they have the option of agreeing contractually to work on another site within the Federation if the need arises; this builds in considerable flexibility.
A Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) is a charitable company, limited by guarantee, and operating several schools. This allows combined size and funding to reach a level where the business model of an Academy can be applied so offers an alternative co-operative opportunity for small schools. Because a MAT is not run by the LA its member schools are not constrained by LA boundaries. It has three levels of management – Members, Trust Directors and Local GBs. The Members are akin to shareholders and have ultimate control over the MAT. Trust Directors determine its direction and development and Local Governors are appointed for each member school with specific duties delegated to them by the Trust Board.
Academies, MATs and Maintained schools receive the same level of funding for each pupil on their registers but because MATs must 'buy in' some services that are automatically provided by the LA for maintained schools they are given an additional annual sum to cover this and a 'start-up sum of £25,000 in recognition of the legal costs of setting up the business. The annual accounts of the MAT are presented as company accounts and these must be audited and approved before submission to the Educational Funding Agency. Maintained (Federated) schools submit budget monitoring reports (DES) to County.
There are other significant operational differences.
MATs receive funding for its member schools as a single allocation. Federated schools retain their own individual budgets.
Contracts for staff are issued by the MAT Trust Board; Federation contracts are issued by each school.
MATs must ensure consistency across their schools in such areas as budgeting, procurement procedures and curriculum. Federations may choose to do this also but there is less central control.
Decisions and future planning for a MAT reflect the need of the organisation as a whole. In a Federation there can be greater accommodation of individual needs and preferences.
Federated schools will continue to be inspected separately by Ofsted; the schools in a MAT will be inspected individually but considered jointly.
MATs and Federations do share some of the advantages of a co-operative format. They both allow small schools to appoint and have access to a wider range of professional expertise. There is greater flexibility in placing staff where they are most needed though for Federations, this must not remove allocated funds from one school to another. There are improved opportunities for Continuing Professional Development, cross site institution of 'best practice' and time saved through policy alignment. An agreed curriculum can be delivered across MAT or Federation schools. All these advantages should result in improvements in teaching and learning. Financial security is strengthened because the increase in total numbers of pupils in a multi school organisation will blunt the effects of a temporary drop in the roll at an individual school. A cross site business manager can be appointed and there may be economies of scale through joint bulk ordering and the multi- site provision of services - better value for money spent. Re-constitution of the Governance structure which both types of organisation must undergo and the appointment of an Executive Head will result in stronger senior management. There can be a creative shared vision for the future.
The two major differences relate to finance and commercial 'mindset'. The overtly business structure of a MAT gives greater freedom to be entrepreneurial. Decisions in relation to future planning will reflect the needs of the organisation as a whole. Funding is allocated centrally from the DoE as a single payment relating to the total number of children in the MAT schools and the exact distribution of this sum across the schools will be related to long term development plans for the MAT. Member schools are seen primarily as part of a whole contrasting with the Federation 'Co-operation of individuals' ethos.
Many schools have decided to move directly into a Multi-Academy Trust; the Abbas Federation schools had reasons for not choosing to do so. Most such MATs are created by groups of schools often cross phase (taking different age groups) and of varying size who decide to bind themselves together as a single event. This necessitates a huge and complex re-organisation for the participating schools – staff re-assignment, new job descriptions and some new appointments, re-arrangements of the Senior Leadership teams and alignment of curriculum and policies. The budget allocations for each school will stem from a single lump sum – this requires skilled business management and an intimate knowledge of member schools' budgetary requirements. Such detail may take time to install effectively in the system. The Trust Board must decide which services (not now provided by the LA) must be bought in and from whom. The Governance structure must be completely revised with the appointment of Members, the Trust Board together with Local Governing Bodies for each school in the MAT. All this presents the management with a formidable mix of decisions and tasks which must be completed in a limited period of time. Furthermore, if the organisation contains schools of varying sizes and complexity, particularly if there are cross phase schools, there may be problems of balance – will every school have an equal say in corporate decisions?
Federations by contrast can be extended school by school with each new school only added after successful integration of the previous one. This allows the co-operative to adjust to each phase of enlargement - to review policy, practice and the skill mix across the Federation and how best to deploy it. Federations retain the support of the Local Authority and keep their own separate budgets reducing the risk of falling into deficit. Whilst federation schools do not have the financial freedom of a MAT they retain individual personality and have equality within the organisation.
Though it is difficult to quantify, there is probably an upper limit to the size (a function of the number of participating schools and the sum of their pupils) at which a federation can be effectively sustained by its governance structure. Beyond this, the three tier MAT system, with the overall supervisory input from Members and the devolution of some duties and responsibilities from the central Trust Board to Local Governing Bodies, becomes an increasingly attractive and efficient way to run the organisation. However, passing through a phase of federation, where member schools are still supported by the Local Authority and in charge of their own budgets, allows the embedding of defined relationships and working practice. This establishes an atmosphere of trust - a secure starting point for the increased interdependency required of schools in a MAT.
A positive, purposeful and enthusiastic atmosphere

About Andaman & Nicobar Islands
Port Blair, the capital city of the Andaman Islands, consisting of more than 572 islands and islets is spread over 8,249 sq kms of the Indian Ocean. It's that rare phenomenon:an unspoilt beach resort, whose principal attractions are the clear sapphire waters of the sea, the golden shores, the breathtaking coral formations, the flora and fauna, the endlessly fascinating marine life and the native people.
More than 90% of the islands are dense forests and the bright green of the tropical vegetation gives the islands an emerald glow. The rustle of salt-laden winds through the coconut trees, the rush and murmur of the ceaseless waves, the rich melodies of birdsong… are all that disturb nature's tranquility.
To water sports enthusiasts, the Andaman Islands lay out a rich spread of para-sailing, scuba diving, snorkeling and kayaking.
Climate is tropical and humid, with a gentle breeze blowing at all times. The weather is generally pleasant, with Mean Min Temp 23°C and Mean Max Temp 30°C.
Clothing Cottons throughout the year.
Island Tourism Festival A fifteen day long festival is organized during December & January.
Port Blair is connected both by air and sea from Calcutta and Chennai.
Journey time
By air : 2 hours.
By sea : ex Chennai - 60 hrs, ex Calcutta - 66 hrs.
Eating Seafood is the unique island specialty everyone craves. Port Blair's restaurants offer north and south Indian dishes, as well as Burmese delicacies.
You wouldn't really term Port Blair as a shopper's stop. However, exotic handicrafts made of corals, seashells, woodcrafts and fine cane-crafts are some of the authentic collections here.
The Islands At Night
Andaman and Nicobar Islands don't have too much of a nightlife. One can enjoy longs walks in the moon clad beaches or enjoy an outdoor romantic dinner. The hotels may organise some events at night for the guests. Some of the hotels have their own pub/ lounge bar/ discotheques, so one can check the schedule locally once they are there.

I have to admit was quite choked up during the Welcome Mass, and all the beautiful things that were said, and so happy to share my faith more closely with this part of my family. The Mass ended in such a touching way, the freshmen students were asked to remain sitting while all their family gathered around them, put their hands on them, and offered a beautiful blessing for their stepping off into the new life and adventures awaiting them. Ahhh, J, you are so lucky, for the next phase of life is challenging, but one of the best times in life ever!

Here at Landwell we love searching for design inspiration; sometimes that entails a flight across the globe, other times all it requires is taking a walk around our wonderful little city of San Luis Obispo. In the last couple of years one less-alluring section of town has truly grown on us, and it has become a favorite and frequented spot for refreshing our creative vision, along with a glass of wine.
Just south of downtown SLO is an industrial area, speckled with historic remnants of the era of highways and railroads. This stretch of mid Higuera Street between Marsh and Madonna might not look very inviting at first glance, but there are a couple of gems that are definitely worth a visit. First stop, The Station.
At the corner of Walker and Higuera Street, an old 1920's service station that hasn't pumped gas for 35 years has been completely transformed into a polished wine bar and gathering space. The run down, vacant building got a total face lift inside and out after the new owners (who also own Granada Hotel & Bistro downtown) bought it a couple of years ago. It was renovated and restored to retain as much of the original architecture and character as possible, and the result is quite charming!
Upon arrival, it's pretty much impossible not to immediately notice the beautifully planted parking strips, brimming with different succulents of all forms, textures and colors. The Station Wagon is usually parked out front as well; a mint green mobile version of the shop in food truck form, with a vintage vibe to match. The entry is protected by the overhang that once sheltered gas pumps, and just inside is a welcoming and knowledgeable host, local marketplace goodies and shelves stocked with wine bottles from all over the world. In the adjacent room, window-filled garage doors let lots of natural light into the space that once was the mechanic's garage, illuminating the exposed brick walls and large wooden bar tables. In our temperate Central Coast weather the doors can be rolled up for fresh air and easy access during events.
The Station hosts a variety of functions including Art After Dark, several food and wine classes, craft workshops, food truck nights and a pop-up paint and sip program called Art Bar. Even when there isn't an event taking place, The Station is a unique and worthwhile stop to fuel up with wine, bubbly or Root Elixirs soda with spirit, one of our local favorites which you can taste on tap or fill a growler to go!
Just down the block on Walker Street is another diamond in the rough, Appendage + Bough. This funky barn-shaped building may be in an obscure location, sitting askew at the corner of Walker and Pismo Street, but its corrugated metal siding and bright turquoise paint job can't be missed, and what's inside shouldn't be either.
The shop contains an eclectic mix of locally made home decor and gifts, clothing, jewelry, vintage finds and skillfully handmade furniture. The two talented owners Tim Beebee and Ryan Ratzlaff (both hobbyist-turned-professional builders) utilize reclaimed materials, lumber milled in-house, and swap meet treasures to create custom tables and more, for the store, online shop and for commissioned projects. Their truly one-of-a-kind pieces are impeccably finished, while maintaining a rustic retro aesthetic.
A newer addition in the tiny front showroom, meticulously crafted furniture and decor items by If You Give a Girl a Saw (owned by woodworker Janine Stone) and Mikey Gaumann are sure to impress with geometric shapes, clean lines and incredible detail. The pieces feel simultaneously modern and timeless, and that's right up our alley. We recently attended an opening at Appendage and Bough for the duo and won a gorgeous set of hexagon coasters. Best raffle prize, ever! Dropping by A + B during an Art After Dark artist reception, or one of their other lively gatherings? Be prepared to be welcomed with a toasty campfire out front, a glass of wine or a beer, and lots of local love.
As a small new company in San Luis Obispo, it's inspiring to see this collection of brilliant, creative and determined entrepreneurs, sharing spaces and supporting each other to make big things happen, and improving our community while doing so. On top of sharing their craft and talent, these businesses are drawing attention to buildings that have been forgotten and changing the way we perceive them; bringing new life to what once was, pushing through challenges to pay homage in a current context. The perfect combination of old and new. It's encouraging to witness the beginning of the revitalization of a historically valuable area of our city, especially one with such proven potential. We hope the trend to restore and enhance mid Higuera Street continues, and we can't to see what pops up here next!

With the deadline for underclassmen to declare for the draft behind us, we finally have full view of the entire 2017 class, which, of course, only means one thing: Mock Draft Season is upon us. Approximately 100 days away from the real draft, here's the first iteration of how I could see the first round unfolding.
Note: The Vikings, who traded their first-round pick to the Eagles, have the same record and strength of schedule as the Colts, so there's a tie for the 14th pick. A coin flip at a later date will determine which team picks first.
Myles Garrett - DE, Texas A&M: The Browns are in desperate need of a quarterback, but I think Garrett will be too tempting to pass up. He has all-pro talent and will be a perfect fit in Cleveland's new defensive scheme.
Mitch Trubisky - QB, North Carolina: The 49ers need to address the quarterback position and Trubisky has a very intriguing skill set. Trading down would also make a lot of sense because of the lack of talent on this roster.
Jonathan Allen - DT, Alabama: The Addition of Allen would give the Bears one of the best young defensive lines in the NFL. He can play multiple spots and is one of the most technically sound defensive linemen I've ever evaluated.
Jamal Adams - S, LSU: Adams is a tone-setter and would team up with Jalen Ramsey to give the Jaguars two superstars in the secondary. Jacksonville needs offensive line help, but Adams is too good to bypass.
Marshon Lattimore - CB, Ohio State: The Titans could add Corey Davis -- the draft's best receiver -- in this spot, but Lattimore is a special talent and fills a need on the roster. He has incredible cover skills and will match up well with the elite wideouts in the AFC South.
DeShone Kizer - QB, Notre Dame: The Jets have a lot of quarterbacks on their roster but none as gifted as Kizer. He will need some time to develop but he has the size, arm talent and athleticism to become a reliable starting quarterback.
Malik Hooker - S, Ohio State: With the best ball skills of any safety I've ever evaluated, Hooker would benefit from the pass rush led by Joey Bosa. If Jason Verrett comes back healthy, this could quickly become one of the best secondaries in the NFL.
Leonard Fournette - RB, LSU: The Panthers need to take some pressure off of Cam Newton, and that's exactly what Fournette would do. He wasn't healthy during his final season at LSU, but his tape was still impressive. He is a true workhorse running back.
Reuben Foster - LB, Alabama: The Bengals need to add more playmakers to their defense and Foster is one of the most explosive linebackers to come out in the last few years. He has similar range to Patrick Willis when he was coming out of Ole Miss.
Corey Davis - WR, Western Michigan: Davis is a complete receiver who would be an excellent complement to Sammy Watkins. His combination of route running, ball skills and toughness is outstanding.
Tre'Davious White - CB, LSU: White is one of the most improved players in the country and played at a very high level in 2016. His ball skills and toughness would be a great addition to the Saints' defense.
Dalvin Cook - RB, Florida St.: The Browns could look at Deshaun Watson with this pick, but Cook would be tough to pass up. He would fit beautifully in Hue Jackson's offense.
Sidney Jones - CB, Washington: Jones is one of the most reliable players in the entire draft class. He doesn't get the same amount of attention as some other cornerbacks, but he is very highly regarded by NFL evaluators.
Derek Barnett - DE, Tennessee: The Colts are in desperate need of a young edge rusher. Barnett has some tightness but his production speaks for itself.
Mike Williams - WR, Clemson: Williams would instantly become their top weapon and give Carson Wentz some needed help. He could go much higher than 15, but if he's there, expect the Eagles to run the card up to the table.
Quincy Wilson - CB, Florida: Wilson is a very talented press cornerback with excellent ball skills. He would upgrade the Ravens' secondary, teaming with Jimmy Smith to give Baltimore two of the biggest corners in the league.
Solomon Thomas - DE, Stanford: Thomas is a very dynamic interior pass rusher who I'd love to see line up next to Ryan Kerrigan in this defense. His motor never stops, and his performance against North Carolina and QB Mitch Trubisky in the Sun Bowl wowed NFL scouts.
David Njoku - TE, Miami: The Titans need to give Marcus Mariota some more weapons; Njoku has the highest upside of any tight end in the draft. He would team up with Delanie Walker to terrorize opposing safeties and linebackers.
Charles Harris - DE, Missouri: The Bucs hit a home run with the selection of Noah Spence in the 2016 draft. Harris would give them another fastball coming off the edge, taking their defense to another level.
Ryan Ramczyk - OT, Wisconsin The Broncos need to overhaul their offensive line. Ramczyk, the best tackle in the draft, would be a good start. Western Kentucky's Forrest Lamp would also be a good option with this selection.
Taco Charlton - DE, Michigan: Charlton is a rangy athlete who fits the mold the Lions look for in their edge rushers. He makes plays on all three downs.
T.J. Watt - OLB, Wisconsin: Watt isn't as freaky as his older brother, J.J., but he is a very good football player. He is ultra-versatile, athletic and instinctive.
Gerald Everett - TE, South Alabama: Get to know this name. Everett has a lot of similarities to Jordan Reed and he would crush it in the Giants' offensive system, surrounded by Odell Beckham Jr. and Sterling Shepard.
Teez Tabor - CB, Florida: The Raiders are set on the offensive side of the ball but they could use some more playmakers in the secondary. Tabor gives up some plays but he also gets his hands on a lot of footballs.
Deshaun Watson - QB, Clemson: The Brock Osweiler experiment hasn't worked. Watson could be long gone by this point in the draft, but if he's there, I'd expect the Texans to scoop him up.
Garett Bolles - OT, Utah: In 2016, the Seahawks used a top pick on an offensive lineman (OT Germain Ifedi), and I'd expect them to do the same thing in this year's draft. Bolles is a very athletic pass protector who shows some nastiness in the running game.
Jarrad Davis - LB, Florida: Derrick Johnson is 34 and coming off a torn Achilles. Davis is a very instinctive linebacker who has enough size to take on guards in the run game. He also has the speed to match up with tight ends and running backs in the passing game.
Takkarist McKinley - DE, UCLA: The Cowboys need pass rushers; they can no longer rely on Randy Gregory. McKinley has double-digit sack potential.
Alvin Kamara - RB, Tennessee: Kamara is a name that's generating a lot of buzz in the scouting community. He's also a player who would fill a need for the Packers. He is a major mismatch for linebackers in the passing game.
O.J. Howard - TE, Alabama: Howard is a seam-stretching tight end and he's also very reliable as a blocker in the run game. He would be a nice fit in Todd Haley's offense.
Gareon Conley - CB, Ohio St.: Conley is a gifted athlete with excellent football awareness. The Falcons have quietly built a very good roster, which should allow them to take the best available player in this spot.
Christian McCaffrey - RB, Stanford: Some players are perfectly suited to play in the Patriots' offense. McCaffrey's versatility, toughness and intelligence is exactly what Bill Belichick covets in the draft.

Now I'm not scared of you anymore! *pffft*
So now I'm back in school today. Wow!! The warm welcome I received! From teachers to friends! Told ya I'm popular with the ladies. And all the teachers kissed kissed me. Fwah! Felt so loved!! 😍

I'm just back from Kripalu Center and the Energy Intensive - and a wonderful gathering of like-minded folks.
One of the features of the retreat is doing some intensive breathwork that can be quite transformative.
Participant lie down and do 'circular breathing,' with full inhalations and deeply relaxing exhalations. They are supported by a breath work 'coach' as they go through their journey.
Many reported powerful and even mystical experiences. Big New England Sky
The day after we had a great conversation about what actually happened during the breath work session.
A Pulmonary specialist suggested some of the symptoms could be explained this way: Hypocarbia -- exhale blows out CO2 and shifts PH of blood, producing acute respiratory alkelosis Dehydration -- increased breathing eliminates water and body heat Blood pressure drops, which also lowers body temperature Hypoglycemia and hypobelimio-- low blood sugar and low potassium from eating lightly
All this may be true. Yet there was an almost universal sense of powerful releases of deep-seated tensions and profound shifts in brainwaves states that set the stage for insights and new possibilities.
The fusion of science and 'spiritual' practice has brought forth not only a deepening understanding of how the brain works, but has also helped establish these practices in mainstream culture. The Marines now practice meditation, it's part of school curriculum and 'best practices' for many corporations wanting their staff to be both happy and productive.
I'm eager to learn more how shifts in consciousness happen and this mystery of the mind/body connection.
"Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light‐years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual. So are our emotions in the presence of great art or music or literature, or acts of exemplary selfless courage such as those of Mohandas Gandhi or Martin Luther King, Jr. The notion that science and spirituality are somehow mutually exclusive does a disservice to both."

1. This is one of four courses that teach quantity surveying, project management and research fundamentals. For students studying part-time, it is recommended that these four courses should be undertaken at the first opportunity.
2. With Program Director approval, students wishing to follow a research pathway (for instance those intending to undertake a PhD) may select an 18-unit two-semester thesis and alternative study plan. Students must consult with the Program Director in their first semester of study to discuss this.
For each course you study, you will need to allocate time for various classes such as lectures, tutorials, workshops, seminars and practicals. Plus you will need additional hours to study in your own time to complete assignments, readings and projects and contribute to online discussion forums (independent study). So as a general rule, if you are studying full-time you would need to allocate 12 – 26 hours of study when at university and 14 – 28 hours of independent study per week.

I had 17 years of industry experience as a Chartered Quantity Surveyor before joining UniSA and completing my PhD. Teaching has become my passion, and a student's success is my success. My research is in ethical tendering. Because I come from an Asian background I understand the development of countries like Australia, the system, and the property of tendering.
