Right now, however, the hog farm owner, Jason Henson, is refusing to allow ADEQ to go onto the site to conduct the investigation. ADEQ has issued a Notice of Technical Deficiency in C&H's permit application, which requires C&H to allow ADEQ and its contractors on site, or alternatively orders C&H to do the investigation under the supervision of ADEQ. ... That is the big news.Here's the ADEQ notice of a deficiency on the farm's permit.
There may be any number of reasons why C&H doesn't want ADEQ to do the investigation. One may be that they know or strongly suspect that there is a release [of pollution] and are hoping to avoid the investigation. Henson has a sympathetic supporter in some of the BCRET team members, and he may be hoping to get them admitted to the site to help in affecting the results.

Above are pictures sent by Revs. Conrado Lumahan and Fred Torres showing the damage inflicted by the recent super typhoon to our bible school in Binalonan, Pangasinan (Luzon Bible College). It is being reported that 70% of towns in Pangasinan are still underwater. Below is a letter sent by Rev. Visca to our ministry partners around the world – perhaps the best way to describe what is going on here in our country today.
The humanitarian effort we are doing to our brothers and sisters and neighbors who were affected by the recent typhoon Ondoy is indeed a back breaking job. We keep pushing to the limits of our physical capacity to extend help to those who are in need because of God's care and compassion and because of you at the other end praying and supporting us. At the end of the day, every time we deliver the relief goods or provide medicine to each of the victims, it is being paid back by a new picture of a smile in their face – a picture of new hope.
The relief work of PGCAG is on-going. It is now a back-to-back job due to the catastrophic damage of another typhoon to properties and lives of the people in the northern part of Luzon. Around a hundred kilometers north of Manila, the rest of the provinces are cut off. Major roads are impassable due to flooding. We are hoping that the flooding of Pangasinan province will subside soon. Rev. Jerry Balbuena, the overall coordinator of PGCAG Disaster Response and Relief Management Group together with The National Director of Convoy of Hope Rev. Raul Manuel is planning to visit and deliver reliefs to our brothers and sisters in the north as soon as the roads are passable.
Last Monday, October 5, the PGCAG Health Care Ministry was reactivated. Dr. Jay Angeles was tasked to organize the Filipino medical team. The Filipino medical team work side-by-side with the Health Care Ministry sent by AG WMD USA. Since Tuesday, October 6, the health care conducted medical missions in AG churches in Metro Manila and nearby provinces affected by typhoon Ondoy. Jesus Harvest AG San Pedro in Laguna, AG Jesus Unlimited God San Mateo in Rizal, AG Dream Builder Ministries Meycauayan in Bulacan, AG Jesus Cares Malinta in Valenzuela City, Payatas in Quezon City and AG Marikina. Next week, AG Marilao in Bulacan. The medical team and counselors have treated and prayed-over an average of 400 patients a day. It has been observed that every time we close the medical mission, a few people still keep coming in the hopes of the mission work be reopened the following day. But we can only do so much on a given day.
We are facing another challenge. It's been a week now and typhoon Pepeng still hasn't moved out of the Philippines' area of responsibility. Last Thursday, we received the bad news from our brothers and sisters in the north- Ilocos region, La Union, Pangasinan and Nueva Ecija has been heavily flooded. The Cordillera Regions have been experiencing landslides and mudslides and were cut off from the lowlands.
Rev. Alfredo Torres, president of Luzon Bible College, sent the following text messages: "Luzon Bible College campus in Binalonan, Pangasinan is now 6 – 7 feet deep. Road is not passable anymore, water current is so strong from river due to release of water from dams. Pray for us I'm sure you want to rescue us but you cannot do it immediately. Help us pray." Second message: "Water almost reaches our second floor…all our offices, classroom, computers, equipments in chapel, cars, pigs, everything in the kitchen underwater because of the immediate rise of water and strong current arrived midnight. Our school fence collapsed due to strong water current."
From Pastor Brian Lopez, AOG Baguio City: "Seven AOG members died in landslide. Their home taken by mud. A church in shambles (destroyed) in Trinidad because of the landslide. Wind is strong. Rain is non-stop. School and offices canceled. Marcos Highway and Kennon is closed due to landslides. Power outage rumored to be cut soon. We opened the church for anyone who needs shelter. Or relief collection remains good. (Baguio City) proper is alright. Keep us in your prayers.
From Dr. Lem Engcoy, APTS, Baguio City: "So sad but it's true…Yes we can only do so much. We helped an AG member in Beckel . The whole family died when the house covered by a mudslide."
From Ptr. Agnes Niebres, Villasis, Pangasinan, informed us by text that they are now accommodating 13 more children at the second floor of their house. The problem is that they are running out of food.
Brothers and sisters in faith, our calamity-struck nation is far from over. Though our government is trying its best to send rescue and relief into our country's typhoon battered places, impassable roads renders "Help" helpless. At the same time God is awakening the generosity among our own people… many of whom are walking the extra mile.
The Bible says that God is always in control. He can literally intervene in the hardest of situations. All He desires from us is to keep believing and trusting in His Power and Wisdom.
We'll be keeping you posted. I'm looking for a window where I could at least find rest from all these calamities… but looks like it may take a while. Our people need immediate assistance.

U.S. bank repossessions increased 38% in the second quarter from the same period a year earlier for a record total of 269,952, according to Irvine research firm RealtyTrac. That was also a jump of 5% from the previous quarter. If that pace continues through the year, the number of homes taken by banks is likely to top 1 million by the end of 2010, said Rick Sharga, RealtyTrac senior vice president.
And that's before this summer's massive round of mortgage resets takes effect.

Thanking Hillary Clinton
>> Wednesday, October 8, 2008
I might have missed it but i have yet to see a diary dedicated to thanking senator clinton for her campaign tactics. I refuse to thank mark penn because, well...i still loathe him as a human being. Senator Clinton though, she gets my thanks for her campaign.
Thank you for continuing your campaign seemingly forever so that we could air out all the potential dirty smears before november. William ayers, jeremiah wright, rezco, all of them came out in the primaries and became attacks used by sen clinton against barack obama. Without that long drawn out primary they would not have been run into the ground so far that nobody cares about them anymore. The media no longer sees them as news and instead covers them as partisan attacks with dubious to non existent merit. would that have been the case without the primary the way it was?
Sen Clinton also gets a thank you because the long drawn out primary that visited every state gave us a head start in boosting voter registration and in building gotv infrastructure. Obama has learned that you do need street money in PA, something he failed to provide in the primary. Obama has also had the chance to test out his polling and demographic information in each new state. He was able to add to the voter database the dems now have.
We should also thank senator clinton for participating in all of those debates. While they became so repetitive and boring they did serve a purpose, they trained obama to be a better debater. They say practice makes perfect and he sure had a lot of that in those 20+ debates.
Hillary Clinton gets a thank you because with out her and the drawn out agonizing primary steve schmidt would never have thought to draft the little known and oh so beloved governor of Alaska to be McCain;s running mate. If they did not have those PUMAs or generally disaffected women out there, at least in theory, we would have gotten a male candidate. Instead we were blessed with, "in what respect charlie?" and numerous other moments of comedy gold. Clinton also provided the measuring stick against which palin was found wanting. So we have hillary clinton to thank for sarah palin.
Senator Clinton also helped to set the health care agenda by making that a central issue of her campaign. Obama and his health care plan have been out there forever at this point and have managed to stand the test of time. McCain was forced to respond to this and put forth his craptastical health care plan. Forcing him to defend this plan gave us the gems like cutting medicare and destroying the employer based health system. Obama would have had a health care plan but it would not have been such a prominent issue without the effort made by sen clinton.
Although you hired Mark Penn we did get to expose him for the scum he is and hopefully make sure he never gets a job in democratic politics again. true, we had to spend millions of dollars against you long after you lost a chance of winning and you tried the whole michigan and florida stunt that nearly drove me insane I say thank you hillat clinton.

Our cats are anti-book more than anti-tv. I think they mostly resent the book intruding into their lap space.
what an adorable shot!! Happy WW.
They do have a habit of getting in between you and the television don't they? Great shots. Have a wonderful WW. 🙂
Oh, I see. You actually thought the TV was for YOU! 🙂 Kitties rule!
The second kitty sure looks interested in the show!
Ha! How cute. My cats are indifferent to TV. However, they've been all over two vases of flowers I have around. They totally think flowers are for them to eat.

Moogho translates as "world" in Mooré, the language of the Mossi people of Burkina Faso. That sounds like the right title for an album from the Ouagadougou-based rapper Art Melody, with beats by producers from France, Réunion, Finland, Poland and the U.S., co-released on Akwaaba Music (a Ghana-based record label run by Franco-American mastermind Benjamin Lebrave) and Tentacule Records from Bordeaux, France (motto: "Just Music / No World / Hip-Hop is a Fact / No Global").
Moogho is an exciting, unsettling album, with an urgent musical energy that matches the intensity of Art Melody's vocal flow in the Mooré and Dioula languages. His voice is a constant call of alarm, warning and critique. His delivery is often hoarse, harsh and urgent, like someone who has been shouting to be heard for a long time, but this album also reveals new melodic and textural contours to his vocal style.
The album opens with "Na Kiend Songo," produced by Labelle, from the Francophone island of Réunion. A driving talking-drum sample, twanging strings and ghostly reverb tails create an underlying tension throughout the piece. Then the beat drops and Art Melody's vocal attack begins. At times, his vocals are doubled in full voice and a low growl.
Next up is the percussion and horn-driven "Karong Korogo," which we premiered earlier this week. The track opens like a surprise attack, with Art Melody's characteristic growly voice rap-singing over a loping percussive beat by his long-time French producer Redrum. Suddenly horns emerge, and the interplay between passionate vocals and the brass fanfare takes the tune to the next level.
Some of the dopest beats on Moogho are slow and grinding, leaving plenty of room for Art Melody's unique rhythmic and melodic approaches. Examples include "Wogdog Bukaodba," with bongo rolls and delayed bass; the creepy swagger of "Hey Mah," where Art Melody sounds like he's chanting a lament over a solitary blues guitar lick; and the jagged, aggressive flow and floating orchestral samples of "Micro Macré:"
A few of the tunes use the boom-bap style beats reminiscent of Art Melody's previous records, like "Ki Kanga," "Wa Gare Hip-Hop An," and "Wakat Songo," but contextualized by Art Melody's high-energy flow and even distribution throughout the album, these tunes serve as reminders of the roots of hip-hop.
The experimental side of the album is most evident in the frenetic electro closer "Naong Sasam," created with Brooklyn-based producer Afrikan Sciences. Art Melody intones while beats and bleeps collide and spin around his voice.
"Ya N'Targoama," produced by Finnish musician Jimi Tenor, is experimental in an oddball, jazzy, yet dance-friendly way. The square digital beat, flute and synth flourishes and rhythmic female backing vocals are more upbeat and peppy than the rest of the album, but Art Melody fits right in with a steady, punchy flow. He fits in just as well with the ominous gloom of "Tekré Koom," which sounds like an apocalyptic take on New Age music production, complete with bird calls, droning didjeridu bass and booming percussion hits.
In a recent interview, Art Melody spoke about how the lyrics for the songs on Moogho were composed before, during and after the popular uprisings that ousted Burkinabe dictator Blaise Compaoré, in power for 27 years until October 2014. Art Melody's lyrical messages in Mooré and Dioula are geared towards the crowds of youth protesters who successfully defended the transition to democracy earlier this month, rejecting a military coup led by the same forces that assassinated independence president Thomas Sankara in 1987. While his messages are directed towards the people of Burkina Faso, the production on Moogho has a global appeal, as does Art Melody's voice.

The Minister As Missionary 4
In the hands of unreflective activists mission is so easily hijacked by alien values and subordinated to unexamined cultural presuppositions. Stories of how this happened in the massive Victorian colonial, missionary expansion abound. But you don't have to set foot beyond your own culture to fall prey to such a disease. Our missionary methods at home have, for instance, become chronically instrumentalised. Too often we get too close to ends justifying means. We forget that the form of mission matters just as much as the fruit of mission. Having a mission-shaped church is fine as long as we also have a gospel-shaped mission.
When it comes to our fearful lusting after church growth we have not always been as vigilant as we might. Measurable growth, numerical success, numbers coming through the door have, in line with our culture's obsession with the countable, become almost unqualified measures of ministerial success. And while I would be the first to criticise a neglectful indifference toward to results, I am also convinced that our feverish concern with the response to our missionary endeavours often leads us astray from the way of Christ.
Billy Sunday, the old time evangelist, once calculated the price of a soul by dividing the total cost of his missions by the number of converts. I myself recall one preacher at the end of a disappointing week of mission making an appeal with an interesting twist: "I'd like everyone here to raise a hand in the air. Ok, now if you don't want to become a Christian, put your hand down." This kind of thing is not effective evangelism, it's false witness.
Of course few take it quite so far. But I do think we need to ask if we have been guilty of purveying "gospel light" because in our desire to see results we have emptied our "gospel message" of all substantial ethical content. Too much evangelism sounds too little like a call to join a radical community committed to sacrificial living for the sake of peace and justice, and too much like just another manifestation of our culture's obsession with the therapeutic quick fix.
The truest measure of Christian of witness is not effectiveness but faithfulness to the person and the way of Christ. This is of course much harder to measure, but it is also much more important. This means making sure that our churches embody our tradition, that we know our language, are familiar with our stories, and keep alive our distinctive, defining practices.
That is why a missionary-minister has to be a theologian, a local theologian, a theologian in residence. The missionary re-orientation for which I'm calling , the turning out to the world rather than in on our selves, must not become a mere pragmatism, an unthinking rush to adopt whatever method promises to "work". It is the missionary-minister's job, to help ensure that mission is rooted in our identity as a gospel people.
Now of course it's not all down to the minister. Baptist congregations of all congregations should be congregations of all the talents. But there is a particular expertise that we as ministers must bring – an expertise in the scriptures and their significance for shaping congregational life. We have a deposit that we are charged to keep, guard, renew and make available to our people, in the hope that they will never, ever trade in the blessing of authentic Christian identity for a mess of institutional success.
This is especially important in our pluralistic society with its tournament of narratives, its bewildering white noise of competing ideologies and identities. Perhaps the greatest danger for an enthusiastically missionary church in our glorious, fascinating, diverse culture is that we forget who we are. We must not allow that to happen. It is the missionary-minster's job to make sure that the church doesn't go native. We do this by learning to see ourselves as theologians - an unapologetic, insistent theological presence and resource rooted in our communities, not ivory tower fancifiers, but theologians in residence.
Back in May I gave the Baptist Ministers' Fellowship annual lecture at the Baptist Assembly in Plymouth. This month a version of the talk was published in the Baptist Minsters' Journal. With the kind permission of the editorial board I will be reproducing a slightly modified version of the BMJ article here. To keep things down to regular post length I'm going to stick it up in a series of bite size chunks.

Yes, yes and yes. I have been thinking lately how some 'missionary success' is more a matter of confirming people's pre-existing anxieties, their worries about 'the Other' and telling them it's ok to be fearful of it/them and that the Christian community provides sanctuary from such otherness; whereas gospel-shaped mission (as you put it) demands a very different response to the Other, not colluding with anxiety but urging us 'Do not be afraid'. This gospel-shaped mission is much harder to generate 'results', because it is about being a community which deals creatively with a whole range of otherness - Samaritans, tax collectors etc, or in our day, all kinds of people who find it hard to be with each other.

California liberals think that illegals not only have a right to stay, but apparently have no problem with their likelihood to commit even more crimes against American citizens. This is the sort of insanity that President Trump has to fight on a daily basis.
"A Democratic mayor's warning to illegal immigrants of an incoming ICE raid in northern California may have led to a number of illegal immigrants with violent and sex-related convictions evading capture and deportation. Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf tweeted out an impending warning of the four-day raid last week, alerting targeted individuals to the imminent arrests, and infuriating Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials, who say that many more could have been caught if they hadn't been warned.
. . .
The arrests included 115 who "had prior felony convictions for serious or violent offenses, such as child sex crimes, weapons charges and assault, or had past convictions for significant or multiple misdemeanors." But acting ICE Director Tom Homan said on 'Fox & Friends' that Schaaf's warning meant there are roughly 800 illegal immigrants they were unable to locate.
. . .
An official briefed on the plans at the Department of Homeland Security told The New York Times that ICE agents typically find only about 30 percent of their targets during a sweep, meaning that many of the 800 who evaded capture may not have been caught either way. Schaaf came under intense national pressure, including from the White House, for her actions. White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said the DOJ was conducting a review. But Schaaf stood by what she did."

After getting a new HP last week, I'm finally joining the monster mobile named Pokémon Go. After playing it for a few days, I will say this of the game. It's fun, it's addictive, but I doubt it's going to have a long shelf life.
Using a player's smartphone camera and GPS signal, the game put players in the shoes of Pokémon trainers. Going around the real world, players now can enjoy their childhood dreams of being Pokémon trainer and to become the next Pokémon Champion.
In many ways, Pokémon Go is great. I know many people worry about going to places to catch the Pokémon but I don't see as a problem here in Singapore. Everyone know where to go and at certain places, there's no shortage of the little monsters. I started the game at Vivocity, walked to Sentosa, took the tram to Siloso Beach, walked to Fort Silso, U-turn back, and took the tram back to Vivo. By then I was level 8 and my bags was full.
It took me about 2 and a half hours but it's not that difficult. It's just a walk. The walking aspect is really the highlight of the game. The world aspect of the game is superb. On Sentosa, I was walking to the tram when I saw 2 girls running across me with HPs in hand. I then checked and noticed a Lapras in the area. I followed the girls to the waterfront and 8-10 Pokéballs later, I got my Lapras. Without those girls, I would probably still be missing the Pokémon.
In many ways, Pokémon Go is the first true mobile MMO where many players play together. No one playing alone in your room. This is a true MMO where you will see players of all ages playing. However after a few days of the game, I could see some problems with the game.
Simply put; there's not much to do. Take away the walking and catching, there's really nothing more to the game. The Gym battles is simple and, if you are the attacker, easy. The catching of the Pokémons isn't that difficult, and well, that's all there is to the game.
Even for a mobile game, the gameplay is really very sparse. I think the game need a lot more to hold on to the players it currently has. If the game can do that, then the future looks bright. If not, then it will get into problems very quickly. In all, what Pokemon Go lacks in polish and depth, it makes up for with a fascinating social experience. It's a fun game. Let's all of us see if it has legs.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Keystone Automotive Industries Inc. KEYS, -2.56% shares fell 14% to $33.18 in Thursday morning trade after the Pomona, Calif.-based distributor of automotive body parts said it plans contest part of a preliminary ruling issued by an International Trade Commission judge in a complaint initiated by Ford Motor Co.'s F, -0.93% Ford Global Technologies LLC against Keystone, another distributor and certain manufacturers. The judge ruled Monday that seven of ten design patents directed to parts for the Ford F-150 truck were enforceable and infringed Ford's design patents, but said that three patents are invalid due to Ford's prior public use of the designs. The judge did not accept the argument that Ford's prior public use and other conduct also render the remaining seven patents invalid and unenforceable. As a result, the judge ruled that the importation of automotive parts covered by these seven patents violates Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930. Keystone plans to appeal the ruling.

Grammar or phonics?
Our government – to be more specific, the Ministry of Education (MOE) – has a bad habit of changing the way things are done in schools as and when they please without getting input from the grassroots (the teachers). First, we have the ever controversial teaching of Math and Science in English. In a recent report in the papers, the MOE plans to recruit foreign teachers to teach English pronunciation because they want students to pronounce the way native speakers do! Check out a comment made by a Malaysian reader and another comment by a foreign reader in response to the first reader's comment. Both are against what I call "the blatant ignorance" of officials in the MOE.
It really amazes me and everyone else how those blokes at the top think, if they ever think at all. Who are they trying to please at the expense of our children? Are they really qualified to make decisions in the first place? Tax payers' money is being utilized to hire 365 foreigners to teach our kids how to say words so that they sound like "mat salleh" or "gwailo". Get real!! In the Malaysian education context, we learn English in schools so that we're able to communicate with others whether in the spoken or the written form. The communicative approach to learning a second language has been used in many Asian countries as well, so what's so special about Malaysia that requires foreigners to be hired? Besides, we have our own batch of teachers who could speak English well. In fact, many foreigners are surprised that Malaysians could speak good English. We have colleges that teach future teachers how to teach English. Therefore, by hiring foreigners, is the MOE implying that they're doubtful as to the proficiency of our English teachers? If so, that also means lecturers in teacher training colleges have not been well-trained for the job.
What are the implications of hiring foreigners (no offense to you guys, ok)? First, it's going to cost a bomb; they are definitely not coming if our government pays them the same salary and get the same perks locals get. Secondly, students who are not used to listening to a foreigner speak English would be intimidated, feel uncomfortable, and end up shying away from speaking. Third, in some cultures, it is rather difficult to say certain letters like "r", "l" and "w" correctly. Forget about pronouncing the "o" as in "boat" and expressing the distinct "k" as in "like". It's really common for our students and adults to say "bot" instead of "boat", for instance. Don't the MOE officials know anything about sociolinguistics? Obviously not.
So, what the heck are the objectives of teaching English in schools then? Is it to enable students to speak like a native English speaker a.k.a the Queen's English variety? If, so, we're heading the wrong direction. What about grammar then? Don't you think it's more critical to be able to construct sentences correctly than to be able to pronounce words like a native speaker?

I'm a M'sian living in the States. Yes, grammar is so much more important than how we pronounce our words. When I first came to US, a lot of people I met was impressed I am able to speak English well, but the horror came when I started working for a boss from UK! Even though I can speak, my grammar was terrible. I had to go for grammar classes and eventually English writing classes. So yes, no matter how I pronounce my words, the structure of the sentence is more important. I admit I still get my tenses mixed up. It must be the mixture of our mother tongue and BM still ingrained in me. And that's the reason why I kept coming back to your blog to brush up my English. Thanks! 🙂
Hi Dawn, thank you so much for returning to my blog. It's people like you who keep my blogs alive. This blog is not perfect, and i believe it could be further improved. Feel free to send questions and I'll see if I can help. Comments are welcome, too. 🙂
– Cheers –
I believe Grammar and Phonics are two seperate issues.
PHONICS is a system of how to learn how to read basic English.
Simple, systematic and interesting, within 3weeks (those with
English basics), our kids can confidently read the papers!!
READING is important as from here they will learn new words
everyday and begin to recognize the order of GRAMMARS..
I feel students should be taught PHONICS either from home or in
Kindergartens (simple and fast), from there… year one onwards,
start with their GRAMMARS, comprehension and writings etc.
I experimented on all my kids (from 1995) and they never had any problems
with their English lessons from Tahun Satu right through their Universities.
I am blogging in Bahasa Malaysia, for those who want to learn
to read, or help their kids to learn to read from home, dedicated
to those from non English Speaking families..
PS: wat4english what an AWESOME name…
@ where2-where2.blogspot.com
Please allow me to express my opinions on Phonics further.
I help kids around the block, how to learn to read basic English, and they are from non-English Speaking families.
After my blending lessons (short sounds, cover about 62% of English words), one of their favourite activity
with the class is "SHOPPING".
I will take a small group to the nearest hypermarket. You can feel and hear their excitement as they walk
pass the items along the lane… they start identifying as they now can read the basic simple words on the
product labels.
I will recommend their parents do same when going for family shoppings. Let their kids help find and pick
the items.. And as they move from outlets to outlets, they are READING the advertisements and signboards,
independently and "OUT OF CURIOSITY" – because they are already "sort of familiar" and able to read by themselves.
When ordering food, let them go thru the menu…THESE REALLY EXCITE THEM.. and will help boost their confidence level.
Grammars will be taught in schools accordingly. And reading good books, specially tailored to meet the
different age group interests, like the Ladybird, Anid Blython and so on.
After they have mastered their reading, pronunciations, spelling etc,
then I will recommend the parents, if they so want, to send their kids
for proper grammar classes or tiution.

Imran Khan speaks about his amazing character, the experience on location, his special looks, his favorite song, composer, and most of all, play the video of the songs Chudail & Switty Switty…exclusively on Lo Kallo Baat.
There's more to the film…Imran speaks about mamu Aamir Khan who is the producer & also about Reena (Aamir's ex-wife) who is the song director of the film. While part of Delhi Belly can easily be called a family affair, there's caution: IT IS ONLY FOR ADULTS!
Delhi Belli is about Tashi (Imran Khan), Nitin (Kunal Roy Kapur) & Arup (Vir Das), three bachelors staying in Delhi. Tashi owns a 100 crore business and is the envy of Jaggannath, whose only objective is to split Tashi's family & destroy him.

This is going to be part of a few Spring themed writings over the next few weeks, I've had a couple already, which is proof that the thermometer is supposed to be going in the right direction. Have we had a day above 60 degrees yet? No, but we will- I am absolutely sure of it!!
Hubby and I made it to (and from) the Tigers Opening Day festivities last Friday and yes, they won! Opening Day was bigger than we've ever seen it – AND, there is starting to be more girls.
By the way, ladies, if you are single and live in a city with a baseball team that has opening day festivities and you stay away? Well, then you deserve to be single. No, really, the odds at one of these events are 20 to 1, easily, and that is me guessing the odds from this year's turn out in Detroit – I can remember years ago when I was one of eight girls I saw all day, yes , eight - all day (the line to the ladies bathroom was non-existent, fabulous – I know) That was a good decade ago – but still, the odds are so in your favor ladies. Put it on the calendar for next year, take the day off and head downtown – I can't believe I even have to tell you this – common sense my dears – c'mon already…..
Anyway – I like to go there for the people, it's a great place to be in a hub of happy, live, buzzing activity. You get to chat it up with all kinds of folks, I love it. Plus there are still places you can celebrate for free, no ridiculous cover. The Fillmore Theater and State Bar always have live music and the game on the HUGE screen. This is my favorite place, although the beer selection is decided for you that day by the sponsor of the event – it hasn't been good the last few years, but that's ok, we're not there for the beer.
And the last few years Grand Circus Park has had live music and goings on all day too – when the sun was out you almost didn't notice you could still see your breath. Which brings me to the socks.
A man was running around with Superman socks on in the park. He himself was not dressed oddly, or was he obnoxious in any way – BUT, he had on Superman Socks. Apparently Superman is a theme with the Tigers? I know we have a lot of super players, but I hadn't realized there was a Superman theme, see hat below, it's officially MLB Licensed, who knew?
I did miss getting a picture of him in his socks, he rolled his pants legs back down, so I had to go in search of one – which is why the gentleman pictured above is standing on a track and not in a park – but they are indeed the same socks! And they are just as super!!! Aren't they?
The "Boys of Summer" are definitely back in town and are winning (for the most part). Keep it up and we'll get to a game when the weather realizes it's in a short named month and it's supposed to be warm. Until then, my gloves are still in my pockets and my boots are still by the door…. Go Spring!

This morning, we tried a different method of finding a ride. Instead of standing in one place, we immediately walked and rolled from the city of MANKATO toward the city of WASECA on the 4-lane divided highway Route 14, which has a 4 foot wide paved berm, giving us plenty of room.
We normally walk facing the oncoming traffic. When asking for a ride however, we walk "with" the traffic. Hearing traffic approaching from behind, I either turn to see if a suitable vehicle is approaching, or I simply keep walking, but raise my left arm with my Thumb sticking UP...the universally accepted signal that I am asking for a ride...more commonly referred to as "hitch hiking".
We walked over 5 hours with no ride.
Hearing a "BEEP" close behind us, I turned to see a Red Pickup Truck stopped not ten feet away. I did not hear it approaching, but it pulled up beside SAM and ME...are you looking for a ride...?
We, of course, accepted, loaded SAM, and was delivered to the city of OWATONNA, Minnesota, some 40 miles from MANKATO.
Local corn is tall, dark green, and about ready to be harvested. The corn pictured is FEED corn, used for cattle food...or used to manufacture ETHANOL, a gasoline Additive.
Local farm.
I am told most farms are not worked - or even lived on - by the owner. Many farms are LEASED to other farmers. This practice has resulted in the Taxing Commission to classify such land as COMMERCIAL...not AGRICULTURAL, resulting in a considerable higher tax being applied.
Please say HELLO to CRAIG, our benefactor today.
In addition to delivering SAM and ME to OWATONNA, CRAIG bought us lunch and drove us to our Motel, near Route 218, which we will walk and roll in the morning.
* * * * * * * * * *
Received a big surprise checking into the motel. We were already in their computer, as we stayed in this same motel one year ago as SAM and ME were walking and rolling from North Carolina to the Peace Arch.

Craig in the red pickup looks like a really super gentleman.
You will probably see lots of very wonderful crops along HWy #14, heading east. That is some of the very best soil in all the world, always getting lots of moisture every year. It is always a pleasure driving Hwy 14, to see all the great crops.
Happy Trails tomorrow. A cool front is approaching over night, but highs in the seventies after that. Great fall weather.

The green Kentucky hills hold much of this country's coal. Until now, these hills have also held a deadly secret.
In fact, it was some of those endangered miners who helped mine owners get around the federal law.
"They wanted to show as good a sample as they could so they could say, look here, we have a dust-free mine," said Charles Shepherd, a 27-year veteran of the coal mines who is now a minister at Hurricane Gap Baptist Church in Gordon, Kentucky.
Shepherd now admits that he was one of the cheaters. He wore a pump to measure coal dust where he worked. But instead, he says he sometimes was instructed to put the pump in clean, dust-free areas.
"I've been told to put it into a place where it wouldn't collect as much dust," said Shepherd. "It's a lot handier than it would be to wear it, even though you know you're doing wrong."
Shepherd now has Black Lung disease. Another miner -- a foreman who also has Black Lung disease -- said mine operators also fake results by temporarily improving mine conditions, or to "run legal" the day the test is taking place.
CBS News contacted a dozen mine operators, the Kentucky Coal Owners Association, and the National Mining Association for interviews to comment on coal dust tests. None of them would comment.
The cheating was first reported by the Louisville Courier-Journal, which analyzed millions of dust test results sent by mines to the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration in Washington. According to the paper, many of the tests showed mines that seemed too clean to be true.
As a result, J. Davitt McAteer, the Assistant Labor Secretary for mine safety, helped create a coal dust advisory committee. It drew up a list of 20 recommendations to improve dust test results. However, McAteer said he "can't have inspectors at the mine every day."
But why would miners themselves cheat on tests that are designed to keep them safe? The awful irony, according to miners who would speak with us, is if they don't cheat, they fear the mines -- and their livelihoods -- will be shut down.
"I's a difference between whether you eat or you don't," said one miner. "It's according to whether you want to put clothes on your kids or shoes on their feet."
Meanwhile, Charles Shepherd says without strong government action, miners who have taken his place underground will still be afraid to speak up when their bosses order them to cheat.
"There's not many people who want to get into a conflict with a powerful coal company, especially a man without any education or without the ability to really defend himself," said Shepherd.
For now, most everyone who works in the Kentucky hills believes the cheating --and the Black Lung -- will go on.

WORDS AND IMAGES Aleksander Andersen
Six years ago, the cry for change in Cairo's streets echoed. Millions of people gathered with the aim to overthrow the regime and establish democracy in Egypt. The people had spoken. They also wanted freedom, equality and brotherhood. Six years later, little has changed.
For the LGBT+ community, the situation has worsened. Nineteen year- old Yussuf Rezk is among the very few to come out of the closet in Egypt. His courage has cost him his family and friends, maybe for good, as he fights for his right to express his love.
"The police and established society in Egypt are against everything that is different. I get shit thrown at me from random people in the street. Sometimes I'm harassed and physically abused. It's not safe at all to be open about your sexual orientation here," Yussuf says.
The time is 7pm on a Friday. It's the calm before the "storm" in Cairo's nightlife. Yussuf and his friend Mahmoud share a tired sofa on the sixth floor of an anonymous building in the city centre – just a few blocks away from Tahrir Square where the revolution sparked and Mubarak was overthrown. A call for democracy and to give people their rights.
"Vodka or red wine?" Mahmoud raises his eyebrows in question holding his phone, with the speed dial ready.

text: The European Union (EU) is the world's largest trading unit known as a customs union. There are currently fifteen member countries. In a customs union, internal tariffs are eliminated and the member countries form a single customs territory with a common external tariff. For example, once the good enters France or any EU member country and the common tariff is paid the good is free to circulate within all the EU countries. This is the freedom to move goods from country to country. This trade arrangement requires a lot of coordination from EU member countries. Since there is only one common external tariff, every country has to agree on what that tariff will be. This is not an easy process, and the application of trade solutions such as anti-dumping and countervailing duties have to be coordinated.

I had a very introspective morning. I didn't do my usual Sunday-morning Yoga, because my favourite Yoga instructor is on holidays herself till next week. But I couldn't break with my relaxing coffee-and-a-book routine.
I expanded on it a bit this time though. So early into the new year I decided I really needed to figure out my plans for the coming year. Continuous Improvement for my personal life so to speak. So I took my Kindle, my notebook and my orange pen out to Michel's, found a good seat in the shade outside, and spent 2-3 hours alternating between reading and thinking/writing.
I have an outline of what I want now I think.
I just need to still work out how to get it.
The easy bit… right?
I had kinda thought my whole day might end up introspective, but going to Wet'n'Wild with my gym-buddy-Holly fixed that pretty quickly. It's very hard to be introspective sitting on what is essentially nothing more than a rubber tire, hurtling down a water-slide seemingly intent on tossing us over an edge somewhere.
It was fun though. And I got to do a few more slides that I hadn't had a chance to try before yet. And as of yet, Holly hasn't tricked me into the scariest one of the lot yet.
Long queues though, but very worth it.
Now, hopefully my body is not merely bruised, but also tired enough to fall asleep before the introspection returns and keeps me awake.

Sound of a Cup With and Without Instant Coffee:
A Foam-Filled Acoustics Demonstration
Andrew Morrison - firstname.lastname@example.com
Thomas D. Rossing - email@example.com
Physics Department, Northern Illinois University
DeKalb, IL 60115
Popular version of paper 3aMU3
Presented Wednesday morning, June 5, 2002
143rd ASA Meeting, Pittsburgh, PA
The breakfast table is an excellent place to observe some interesting acoustical effects. An empty coffee cup, like an ancient Chinese two-tone bell, emits two distinctly different tones depending upon where it is tapped. When it is filled with hot water and some instant coffee is added, however, a whole new set sounds are heard when the cup is tapped. The pitch rises by an octave or more as the foam clears, due to the dramatic change in the speed of sound in the bubble-filled liquid.
To study the vibrations of a coffee cup, we have used holographic interferometry, which produces a map of each mode of vibration in simple or complex structures (see one map in the illustration). In its fundamental mode of vibration, the mouth of the coffee cup changes from circular to elliptical many times a second, so that four nodes (points of minimum motion) occur around the mouth. Actually, in a cup with a handle two such modes occur, since the mass of the handle upsets the circular symmetry of the cup. If one of the nodes occurs at the handle, the cup vibrates at a slightly higher natural frequency than if the nodes occur on either side of the handle so that the handle moves with maximum amplitude of motion. So tapping a coffee cup on, or near, the handle produces a lower pitch (frequency) than tapping it, say, one eighth of the way around.
More acoustical surprises await us when we fill the cup with hot water and add some instant coffee. Before adding the instant coffee we tap the bottom of cup with a spoon to sort of "tune" ours ears. Then we add the powder. The sound of the spoon tap on the bottom will usually sound at least an octave lower than before, and it will rise again as the foam clears.
Physicist Frank Crawford noticed this same effect in hot chocolate (American
Journal of Physics, May 1982), and explained it as being due to the dependence
of the speed of sound in water on the bubble density. What we are hearing are
longitudinal oscillations of the water column. Crawford heard pitch changes
of nearly three octaves in a tall glass cylinder. Gas bubbles reduce the speed
of sound in the liquid, which lowers the fundamental mode of the liquid column.
As the foam clears, the speed of sound rises and so does the pitch. Crawford
called this "the hot chocolate effect."
Coffee and hot chocolate are not the only liquids that show the effect. In his book "The World of Sound" (Dover, 1968), Sir William Bragg observes the effect in cold beer. In a note on the Internet, Kevin Kilty mentions that he has observed the effect with a hot chocolate mix, sugar in hot tea, salt in beer, and instant tea in cold water as well as in instant coffee. ASA president Bill Hartmann mentioned it to us while drinking coffee at an ASA meeting.
Whether this has a practical application in studying ocean acoustics, we do not know. Perhaps a changing bubble density in seawater would create a similar pitch change. However, it serves as an eye-opener at the breakfast table.

Finding alternative investments and getting off of Wall Street is something we talk about a lot. If being on Wall Street is something that you are interested in, this is the show for you. Randy Tate is the CEO of Flipping Wall Street. This is an investing platform that allows regular investors to invest through an automated hedge fund process.
Traditional investing through a regular financial advisor can eat into your gains through hidden fees and expenses. The types of hedge funds that the super wealthy invest in are out of reach to most people. Flipping Wall Street is a SaaS platform that bridges the gap between everyday investors and hedging your investments.
'We build a unique hedge fund for each individual investor to allow them to participate in the same way that the wealthy participate.' Randy Tate (@flippingwallst) Click To Tweet

Show Notes
- [01:43] How the traditional everyday person doesn't have a way to be on Wall Street the way the wealthy do.
- [02:19] Managed funds and fees are a losing proposition because of the fees.
- [02:34] Randy and his business partner Kelly were tired of how investing was playing out for regular investors. His partner Kelly knew Wall Street, and Randy knew software as a service SaaS businesses.
- [03:59] FLIP is a system for average people to participate on Wall Street in a way that was reserved for the very wealthy.
- [04:33] Flipping Wall Street is automated trading software that allows Kelly's brain to be behind the trades. They've stuffed Kelly's algorithms into their computer. It is done automatically through a robot.
- [06:19] Betterment and Wealthfront are robo advisers that do what Randy refers to as a bucket trade. They have one algorithm and throw everything into a bucket and they all trade together.
- [06:32] When you build a true hedge fund, each individual stock gets its own unique algorithm and trades independently of the rest. In essence, it's a private individualize active management of your portfolio.
- [06:56] The algorithms are the key distinction. Wall Street has created a bunch of myths like diversification. Our portfolios have between three and six stocks. Not timing the market is for the sheep. FLIP times the market with math, and the software buys and sells for you.
- [08:53] Randy and Kelly spent a lot of money coding proprietary software. The ability to time the market was reserved for the Wall Street elite.
- [10:14] Very sophisticated investors have access to systems like this to help them.
- [11:16] To invest with Kelly in the past, you had to have a 100 million dollar buy in.
- [12:25] Give Flipping Wall Street about an hour to get everything set up. If you want to learn about the stock market they will teach you, but you don't have to learn about it. They are going to beat the market and provide a consistent platform.
- [13:47] Financial planners make money in and out of the market, and you get what is left over.
- [14:18] Advisers charge a series of fees. They aren't very transparent and they don't tell you the upfront fees of the funds, plus management and execution fees. There can be another 4% to 6% taken out in fees from the back.
- [16:15] Flipping Wall Street only charges $1.00 a trade, and you will probably make between 30-100 trades.
- [17:17] Last year, some people got over a 100% return. Double digits because of the math and the market timing.
- [18:03] Apple is a poster child for buy and hold.
- [18:27] Buy the software and go in and out of the trades. The software is a tax deductible business purchase.
- [19:57] Predictions for 2018. As of February 1st, you can trade bitcoin through Flipping Wall Street.
- [20:32] The tax breaks are going to do nothing, but fuel growth. The economy is going to boom. The market isn't going down. Don't listen to entertainers on TV.
- [21:26] Stick with the math, because it doesn't lie.
- [22:16] Find a way into the market. The economy is going to grow. Put your money to work.

Sorry, but copying text is forbidden on this website!
The period of the 1930s was an offshoot of the "roaring twenties" or the "jazz age", a time when women gained a heightened sense of prominence in the society after the First World War saw young men leaving their homes and their work in response to the nation's call to arms (Freedman, 1974, p. 374). Towards the end of the war and at the beginning of the 1930s, women became more in control of their liberty, proof of which is their newly recognized right to suffrage (Murphy, 1996, p. 52). They became regular members of the social workforce, thereby giving them a renewed sense of control over their lives.
The "flapper"—young women who defied the norms of what a conservative woman is by engaging in casual sex and wearing short skirts, among others—took the center stage, so to speak. As for men, such circumstances only brought them closer to the temptation of pleasing the opposite sex. This is clearly portrayed in the 1934 film The Thin Man. In the film, Nick Charles and his wife Nora represent the life of married couples whose lives are characterized primarily by the attitudes of the social elites—fun meant enjoying martinis and sleuthing.
In a way, the couple captures the gender roles of each partner during the 1930s. Nora was a wealthy heiress who had almost everything at her disposal. She was beautiful and seemed to have a passion for adventure owing largely to her living a life of liberty. She was the 1930s woman who saw life as the ultimate provider of adventure in all its daring forms. Nick was a handsome man and a retired private detective who previously investigated and solved murders. He was the 1930s man who was deeply entrenched with his passion for resolving issues no matter what it takes, much to the amusement of the female partner.
In fact, Nora was more than delighted upon knowing that Nick accepted the task of investigating the disappearance of his friend Clyde Wynant and the death of Clyde's former girlfriend, Julia Wolfe. It leaves little room to speculate that Nora was indeed the typical 1930s woman who seized her liberty as if it would never run out, putting her self to risky situations together with her man. She portrayed the woman who embraced the "flapper" culture with open arms, spending her time drinking alcohol or romantically engaging her partner.
While she remained supportive of Nick like a female partner might usually commit herself into, she was on her own a liberal minded individual. For the most part, Nick played the role of the adventurous husband which perfectly complements Nora's interest in the same. He was someone who lived every danger with such boldness. He was someone who sought the pleasure of his spouse—from accepting her request for him to take the case to completely allowing her to partake in his drinking sessions—no matter what the cost may be.
It goes to show that Nick was a man who shared entirely similar interests with his spouse and will gladly fulfill whatever it is that will make his woman happy. It was his role to please his woman. On the other hand, it was the woman's role to act is if she was herself a man, fully absorbed in exactly the same interests as the husband's. Here we see the approximate gender roles prevalent during the 1930s. Men and women had more similarities than differences as far as their inclinations are concerned. To a certain degree, there was no "woman".
Woman drank, dressed and acted in an unconventional so that they may be desired by the opposite sex, and actively participated in fairly dangerous tasks. Her liberty stood at the very core of her character and this made her more appealing to every man. Towards the end of the film, Nick gives in to the implied gesture of Nora to spend the night together in the same bed. The scene is revealing insofar as it gives rise to the idea that women exerted a certain influence or power over men especially when it comes to passionate affairs.
The 1930s woman had too much liberty, in fact, that she can do anything she pleases and become pleased in the end. Nevertheless, the 1930s man still had a lot to do with her sources of pleasure.

Wild Night Out is back again, and this year it takes place on Saturday 1st July 2017. Read on to find out what it is and how to get involved.
Wild Night Out is a night – and day – of wild adventure, where people of all ages and abilities are encouraged to #GetOutside and get inspired. You could go for a walk, kayak down a river, explore a National Park, jump in muddy puddles, go Geocaching, get on your bike, climb a tree, try something new…the possibilities are endless!
And when darkness falls, the fun can continue with a night out under the stars. You don't have to head to the countryside, why not pitch a tent in your garden? Or if you want to be more adventurous try wild Camping with friends.
Why is it important to get wild?
Research by OS has shown that less and less people, especially young people and children, are getting outside and visiting the countryside and green spaces on offer in Britain. Did you know that only a third of children in Britain spent more than an hour a day outdoors and that more than a third of children have never been camping? That makes us sad, as the benefits kids (and adults!) get from spending time outdoors really shouldn't be underestimated.
Get involved!
Wild Night Out encourages everyone, of all ages, abilities and experience to get outside and enjoy a night (and day) of wild adventure on Saturday 1st July 2017.
Taking part is a great excuse to get outside so If you'd like to take part, all you need to do is register for the OS Wild Night Out 2017 here.

Old London Road, Patcham, looking north c1960
From the private collection of Martin Nimmo
As a child, I lived on this junction (of Ladies Mile Road and Old London Road) at 72 Old London Road, just outside The Elms between 1962 and 1965. 'The Elms' were a couple of giant elm trees that were a feature of this junction. Close by was the Salmon's Newsagency. I don't think the elms are there anymore, but I believe the newsagency is still run by the Salmon family. This picture brings back so many childhood memories for me!
Yep, Jeff and Mary Salmon, brother and sister, still run the newsagent. Still moaning at kids everytime they go in the shop.
The elms were sadly removed yesterday, having succumbed to the dreaded Dutch Elm disease. Mary and Jeff have since retired too!
Like Paul, it was sad for me to return to Brighton after many years and see the elms gone. As a boy I spent many week ends in the village near Salmons as I had a crush on Mary Salmon (I went to Clifton College with her). The world has changed and not for the better.
I don't remember the elms but I lived in Patcham from 1956 when I was born, to 1967.

Scan to reveal my final blog post, amazing stuff!
Thanks for reading:)
A word cloud is an image made up of words with prominence assigned to words that are used more regularly. For example an essay about Seamus Heaney which is pasted into a word cloud tool (like tagxedo or wordle) might give preference to the words Seamus and Heaney as they are likely to be most commonly used in the essay. Below are two examples of word clouds.
Word clouds are a great visual for the classroom. They can be used for any topic being taught and students can really get involved with making them. The can be printed out and put onto the classroom walls.
tagxedo – http://www.tagxedo.com/app.html
wordle.net – http://www.wordle.net/
A mind map is a diagram used to visually outline information. A mind map is often created around a single word placed in the centre, around which associated ideas, words and concepts are added. They are used for brainstorming and are similar to spider-diagrams. Back in the day they used to be drawn into copies or on the black/white board.
So, not content with an auld shhhtick a chalk, they've (the ICT gods) come up with lots of mind mapping tools for us to use on our PC's, laptops, tablets and smartphones! Here are the details of some, there are loads!!
A lot of these mind mapping tools are very similar. You set up a mind map on the screen which can then be saved as an image/jpeg.
The following link is to another blog which has numerous detailed examples of how these tools work and what they look like when completed: http://5j2014msodwyer.wordpress.com/tag/mind-map/
When using ICT in the classroom it is vital that the teacher can easily view exactly what their students are working on. It only takes a few short seconds for students to click into inappropriate material. With software like AB Tutor the teacher can see everything their students are doing on their own computer screen. The teacher can also set up an alert system for particular websites so if any students go onto these site the teacher will be alerted to this and can then block the student from accessing it.
Everyone should know about this little gem! This is an amazing tool for any teacher or student.
Google Apps is a service from Google providing independently customisable versions of several Google products. It is a form of web-based file storage and is also known as 'software as a service'. It features several Web applications including Gmail, Google Groups, Google Calendar, Talk, Drive, Play, Docs, News, Wallet and Sites.
Google Apps is available in three ways:
Google Apps for Education is free and offers the same amount of storage as Google Apps for Business accounts.
Why is Google Apps so innovative for education:
Sharing Options
Owner – has full control over the document.
Collaborator – can edit the document and can also remove or add more people to the sharing of the document.
Viewer – cannot edit or add and remove people, they can only view the document.
Visibility Options
Private – only people granted permission can access the document. Sign-in is also required.
Domain level – everyone with a variation of one domain and a password can access. For example email@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com can access with a password.
Link – anyone with the link/url to the document can access it without a password.
Public – this is available for public viewing on the web, domain, link or password required.
The potential this has for students inside and outside of school is immense.
With only 140 characters to tweet, and with some url's being very long, you'd be forgiven for thinking this is a big problem.
However some clever clogs has come up with a very clever way to shorten these url's to make tweeting easier.
Bitly is awesome! Click here to have a go of shortening your own url's! Simply copy and paste the url into the box at the top of the page and press the shorten button and hey presto…………….. http://bit.ly/1d6JCAr this is the shortened link to my blog!
Having been introduced to blogging for both personal and educational use we were now moving onto the Big Boy in the world of Web 2.0! TWITTER, tweet tweet! We had been told that this was coming and if i'm honest, I was dreading it. I had managed to keep my social networking to a minimum on the book of faces to date and I was happy with my miniscule digital footprint. Twitter was a giant footstep into the land of giant footprints that I was very dubious about to say the least. I felt like this guy……………..
Before your time?? GOOOOOOOOOOGLEIT!!!
Anywho, I decided, against my better judgement that I would believe my Web 2.0 master when he said that twitter was the most revolutionary web 2.0 technology and that it was going to change my life. BRING IT ON!
So what is twitter? Twitter is like a blog but less detailed. The technical name given to this I believe is micro-blogging. This consists of quick updates usually containing a very limited number of characters. In essence, micro-blogging is for people who want a blog but don't want to blog. So you would think that twitter would suit me then;)
Although Twitter may have started as a micro-blogging service, it is grown into much more than that. With the ability to follow people and have followers, and the ability to tweet from your mobile phone, Twitter has become the perfect social messaging tool. Twitter is a great tool for quickly communicating a message to a group of people.
Twitter is a technical auld thing when you look at the nitty gritty details of it. Here's a list of a few techy things to know about twitter:
With all of this knowledge in hand, what can twitter really do that is so great? Well what I found good about twitter was the connections you can make. By simply following a few people in your industry or area of interest you can partake in some very interesting conversations. I found the #edchatie discussions on Monday nights to be very interesting. It was very insightful to see the opinions of such a wide variety of people, principals, teachers, NQT's, unemployed teachers, teachers who have changed careers etc. Where else would you get the opportunity to converse with this group of people in a meaningful way. I also found some really interesting articles people posted on twitter. When you are following a large number of people with a common interest it is great to see what resources and tips they have.
All in all, I like twitter. I will be keeping it on after my masters is finished (not sure if the same can be said for this blog!!)

former million dead singer gone solo, now on a never-ending-tour-of-everywhere.
you should check him out if you haven't already...
His demo is rather good and everybody should buy it off him via the wonders of paypal.
i've yet to hear the CD he's selling
but i've got some newer stuff he sent for PSB8 and it's fantastic, i really like it.
playing monkey chews in camden on tuesday. decent venue, or..?
he is such a legend, saw him in cheltenham, would love to see him again, might try and catch him at yeovil. i got his autgraph and has a photo with him and a quick chat, such a good bloke!
it is exciting
that he is listed as playing private house parties. maybe if i ever have a house he can play at the housewarming party.
he did a whole bunch of
requests and improvised covers at the party i was at ... all really good stuff
(apart from the counting crows songs he did, because counting crows are shit)
Frank hate the Midlands or something?
his policy seems to be
"play anywhere i can" so get in contact and find someplace for him to play and he'll probably turn up
He played the 'f bar' in Leicester a while back, and Junktion 7 on Notts. But, no he's not played here in a bit.
i met and
interviewed him with alcxxk on saturday. It was goodness. He then covered chris t-t, leonard cohen and abba and raped our ears with a couple of million dead tuuuuuuuuunes.
Not playing near me....
It's cos i managed to miss MD's farewell tour. Stupid Decision...
He is ace, by the way...

It's true that the commodities markets have been wild lately and the volatility has been enough to tear out even the most seasoned trader's heart and send shivers down the spine of the most hardened investor. Of course the incredible rally in commodities is looked at by many "experts" as a bubble. A cute one I heard was a "dot.commodity-bubble." Nice! Wrong, but certainly creative.
Just in the last week we heard from some of the usual suspects who perpetually claim commodities are a overblown; oil is going to go back to $30, grains will sell off 50%, etc. In fact, Barron's cover story last weekend was "Get out of Commodities." Doesn't leave much room for discussion, does it? There's always middle ground.
The truth is that commodities are not on some one-way rocket ride to a never ending top when they rally -- and on the other side they are not in a meltdown either when they sell off. The commodities are in a cyclical bull market and how long it will last is not clear, but we are probably in the fourth inning or so.

Authors: Yashodha Perera and Milinda Pathiraja
Within the paradigm of "Resilient Built-environments", in order for Architecture to be resilient, "Resilience" should be identified as an essential component of the Architect's notion of creativity. In much simpler terms, "Resilient Built-Environment" should necessarily be a by-product of the "Resilient Architect". The inherent influence of individualistic notions of creativity upon the practice had intensified the dichotomy between Theory and Practice, unless the notion of "Resilience" is identified as an integral component of the Architect's notion of creativity. Analyzing the architectural position is an ideal way of understanding the Architect's notion of creativity, therefore, in exploring the notion of "Resilience" and the "Resilient Architect" within the Sri Lankan platform, the Architectural Positions of two renowned Architects; Geoffrey Bawa and Valentine Gunasekara were explored and analyzed. The Architectural Positions of both the architects asserted specific rules and methodologies adopted within the process of problem solving that had subsequently led to a traceable language/pattern within their Architecture. The dominance of such rules within the practice could be detrimental to adaptation of theories/notions, such as "Resilience" and the formation of the "Resilient Architect", unless methodologies itself are flexible, robust, despite rigidity, or else the notion of "Resilience" should exist in the form of a methodological rule.

3rd/4th Class
ReCreate Art Workshop
Long Multiplication
4th class have been tackling long multiplication this month...here's our own Maths whizz Lucy showing us how it's done!
Eeyore comes to school!
Deirdre brought her pet rabbit to school this week, he's gotten a lot bigger and fluffier since we last saw him! As you can see from the photos, we all loved him visiting! Come back soon Eeyore, you're always welcome!
The Vikings
As part of the Blue Star programme, we have been learning about the Vikings. We have learned lots of interesting facts about how they lived and what they ate. The fabulous Louise baked Viking bread with us, it was delicious.
December was a very busy, fun and wonderful time in MQI. It was all go with Christmas Spirit Day, singing carols in the airport and preparing our songs, dance and performance for our Christmas Extravaganza. We also had to keep an eye on our cheeky elf Alfie, who got up to all sorts of mischief while he was with us. He's safely back at the North Pole until next year. Have a wonderful Christmas everyone and we will see you all again in 2018 for more updates on all our antics :)
Sign Language
Our wonderful SNA Deirdre has been teaching us sign language, which we are all really enjoying! This is of special importance now as in December, Irish Sign Language was recognised as an official language. We have learned the alphabet, how to say our names and how to sign the Christmas carol 'We wish you a Merry Christmas'. We are looking forward to continuing our learning in the New Year.
Baking carrot muffins
We dug up the carrots that we planted in the school garden last year and Louise helped us to make carrot muffins using them! Yuuummmmm!!!
Kids Marathon
Hi everyone
We have been working on our running. Unfortunately we did not get to wear our cool new running tops. We will were them with pride next time.
Well done to all the people who took part in Santry Stadium. We ran the last mile at a specially organised event. Thank you Mr. Sheehy, Deirdre, Martina and Ms. O'Mahony.
Until next time bye.

Science Week
Science week took place from the 12th to the 19 of November 2017. The Junior room did a dancing raisins experiment with Deirdre and Ms.Stachurski. The middle room did a static electricity experiment. 3rd and 4th class looked at the effects of drinks on your teeth by putting eggs in different drinks and looking at the changes that happened to each of them. .5th and 6th class designed a paddle boat experiment. The whole school made slime with Ms. Flannery. We got to choose from blue pink purple or green. The Junior room needed some fizzy water. They also used a plastic clear cup and raisins. The middle room needed a helium balloon and some paper. 3rd and 4th class needed cups, water, milk, tea, orange juice, coke and vinegar. 5th and 6th needed rubber bands, an empty bottle of water, a little piece of cardboard. They also needed small stones. The whole school really enjoyed all the experiments during Science Week. Thank you to all the staff for a great week. Bye for now!
By Lucy McGarvey and Katie Swaine, #we LOVE Science.
Look at the pics down below of the school doing science!
Mary Queen of Ireland was a very scary place on the 27th of October. All the boys and girls made a great effort and looked fantastic!
