Have a plan! That may sound simple, but it's really not. It requires you to think long, hard, and smart about what you want your brand to be when it grows up. It requires introspection, objectivity, time and most of all, vision. You may or may not want to hire an outside professional to help you craft this vision, but the important thing is that you dedicate the time to develop one.
Even if the plan isn't perfect, it needs to contain some fundamental building blocks:
A summary statement expressing the essence of the brand, and hence the company. Everyone calls this something different. We call it a Brand Proposition. It should not exceed five sentences and can be accompanied by a few 'supporting themes'. These short sentences should encapsulate the key points that add up to the overall value of the brand to your current and potential customers.
Get an assessment of how the brand is viewed today. An objective analysis of how customers, investors, partners, friends and other key stakeholders view the company (and the brand). Define a concept of how you want the brand to be viewed in the future. What do you want people to think of the brand three to five years from now?
Think back to the five brand permissions (http://www.hookson.com/the-five-brand-permissions/) – Access, Latitude, Recovery, Scale and Set Standards. Which of these is most important to you? How can you build a brand that will give the greatest level of permission you seek? Organise a plan to bridge the gap. The key actions you need to take, to change the perception – or indeed shore up the perception of the brand.

Agreed. Pain may occur if there is excoriation from scratching to alleviate the itching.
In brief: Not typical
Can cause pain/ burning with urination or sexual activity.
In brief: Not typical
Can cause pain/ burning with urination or sexual activity.
Dr. Denise Elser
In brief: Not really
Instead it causes intense itching in some that made them scratch themselves on the affected areas, eventually leading to painful sensation.
Pain is a more gratifying feeling than itch in this situation !

Fly High, by SUGIURA KeiBy Emily • Aug 18th, 2006 • Category: Fly High, move, One-Shot, Romance, SUGIURA Kei, Title
Title:Fly High
Author:SUGIURA Kei
Flower Comics, 1998
Yeah Yeah, I am a sucker for manga with a cute guy on the cover ^^; At Least I thought this guy was cute, and I liked the little bear hood-thing he is wearing and wanted to know who he was ^^ There is a girl named Rika who works as a cleaning girl at a TV studio. One day she gets into the main star's dressing room, and is trapped there hiding when the star (yes, it's Mr. Cutie from the cover, his name is Hikaru) and his manager return unexpectedly. Rika waits quietly, but is of course discovered by Hikaru. Rika tries to leave, but Hikaru decides to go with her, and follows her home!
Rika has the funniest expressions on her face! She is very loud and reacts strongly to things. She just doesn't go super-deformed, she goes insanely super-deformed ^^ It's hard to explain :) These two characters make up the first 2 out of 4 stories in this volume. Can Rika and Hikaru have a relationship? He's famous, and hunted by fans and photographers all the time. In fact, one of them gets what could be an incriminating picture…
The next 2 stories in this volume contain new characters, in stand-alone stories. I am actually not *quite* sure what exactly is going on in these O_o. The first has a girl doing a lot of traveling around Europe, and in her group is this guy. Most of the story is their relationship as they travel. The 4th story in this volume has an interesting beginning- a girl wakes up naked in bed with a guy who tells her 'thanks for yesterday." She has no idea how she got there ^^ He asks her if she really can't remember yesterday. She can't, so he starts to tell about what happened :) This volume has nice art, and the stories are cute enough to warrant a look ^_^
Emily is not cute like a shoujo manga heroine.

A new instrument control panel is more than just a cosmetic fix for a vehicle. It provides great practical benefits, such as having total control over all the instruments appearing on the dashboard. Never feel left in the dark about what your Jeep is doing by acquiring a new Jeep instrument panel as soon as the old one starts failing.
Aesthetic Advantages
Over the course of many years, you may upgrade your Jeep to come with a few new attractive features. During these upgrades, it is possible it is not going to occur to you to also upgrade the instrument panel cover. It appears to be such an integral part of the vehicle, and it seems like a hassle to install a new panel. However, it is a worthwhile investment. These panel covers come from a number of reputable brands, such as Auto Meter, AMI Dash and Rugged Ridge, so there is bound to be something that is going to suit your tastes.
Installation Tips
If you decide to install a new cover on your own, there are a few things to keep in mind. For starters, you want to make sure to be gentle with both the old and new covers. Tugging or installing too harshly ends up damaging screws or other essential components. You should also be wary of the electrical systems behind the dash.
Great Prices
Are you tired of shopping around over a dozen places trying to find the best deal on a product? Give yourself peace of mind by ordering from 4WD.com. If you end up finding the same product for cheaper somewhere else after buying from us within 90 days, then we provide you with a refund in the proper amount. We have an expansive collection of car parts, so whether you want something aesthetically-pleasing or functional, we have your back no matter what it is.

We signed up for Arse-Freeze-Apalooza in November at Thunderhill raceway. You might remember that this was the event we originally signed up for and didn't make it to. Naturally we feel compelled to conquer this event. However this is still some months off and Pujo! needs surprisingly little work to get him ready for this event. Mostly we just need to transplant the less f**ked up transmission and alternater from the parts car and we'll be doing a major redecorating job on the car (we'll keep the theme secret for now). Plenty to do, but also plenty of time.
Good thing too. My dad's '61 Austin Healy Sprite decided it needed some attention and blew its engine. From the sounds coming out of the block, I'd say there's plenty o' bearings and rings just itchin' for replacement. So, for the next couple of weeks I'll be chronicling a full engine rebuild on cutest little engine you ever did see. 948cc's of fury. 42 raging horsepower. Doesn't sound like much, but it only has to move 1400lbs of car. It's pretty peppy.

Embattled Kentucky judge agrees to temporary suspension
A black judge in Kentucky has agreed to a temporary suspension while he fights misconduct charges stemming from a series of racially charged public comments.
The charges against Jefferson County Circuit Judge Olu Stevens largely stem from his feud with Commonwealth's Attorney Thomas Wine, who is white. Stevens posted comments online suggesting Wine is a racist who wants "all-white juries" after Wine questioned his legal authority to dismiss a properly impaneled jury for lacking minorities.
Steve Wolnitzek, chairman of the Kentucky Judicial Conduct Commission, said Friday that Steven has agreed to a temporary paid suspension, effective Monday, pending a final hearing.
Stevens' attorney, Larry Wilder, says the judge decided it was in the best interest of "all of the parties and the community" to temporarily step down from the bench.

All the bit&hes tryna hate on me, but noone got the bigger swag than me.
Try to Understand Before Talking
Gosh! Morning started more or less good! Had a moment for a while, but then I realised that no matter what happens either I chose to move on or feel bad about my life and hold the grudge. Had my last mathematics lesson before my last chance of saving my math grades, and believe me or not, it went good! Had lunch with my friends - probably for the last time. And went for a walk with a friend! Its mothers day on sunday and there were people at the mall giving roses to everyone
(so that they can congratulate their mothers)
, but my rose was dead and I had to leave it att he bus stop for someone else to have a blast. I saw a young girl picking it up i was sitting in the bus.
In the bus, a man in his 50s took a seat next to me. I've seen this man before, he used to scare me because he looks like a spy/slender man, since he always wear glasses and is extreme tall and skinny. I knew he was blind and that he never spoke to anyone. The man and his personal assistant were talking about books and MOVIES, and I was so amazed by how he talked... The language was very well constructed and with huge enthusiasm! His personal assistant was clearly a homosexual, and they were like best buddies! Don't know what exactly caught my attention, but sometimes people with vision, are the only one who are blind.

I am no fashion guru. I've worn the same military uniform for 20 years and rarely have to worry about what I am going to wear except while in civilian clothes. But, I will tell you that women like a man in uniform; police, doctor, or military, it doesn't matter. I've been all 3. Uniforms are a sign of authority, and authority = respect = attraction. A crisply pressed uniform tailored to fit is a symbol of power and again, power = attraction. Disciplined grooming and dignified bearing are essential.
A businessman's uniform is his suit, and all the same rules apply. However, the cut, color, and accessory combinations become extremely relevant. Neatly trimmed facial hair and a stylish haircut complete the image. I am bald, but I cleanly shave my head once a week to avoid looking like this:
I know styles change with time, but the modern culture of general sloppiness is unfortunate. Androgynous clothing, hipster skinny jeans, beanie hats, man buns, and dreadlocks are only acceptable if your greatest aspiration is to be top barista at Starbucks. Women, flannel pajama pants with Crocs look ridiculous unless you want to be featured in The People of Walmart website photo gallery. These choices display a lack of self-respect, apathy, laziness, and poor self-esteem. No business professional is going to take you seriously.
The saying "It's what's on the inside that counts" is true, and in the real world, what you look like on the outside is a pretty clear reflection of what's taking place on the inside. Appearance is a deliberate choice. It says a lot about you. Take some pride in it if you want to be taken seriously. Get rid of the "I don't care what people think" mentality. Yes, you do. Very much. When relaxing in public, wear stylish, comfortable clothing. Purchase some cool matching gym attire and get rid of your old, nasty shoes. NEVER wear cheap flip flops outside of the shower. You will feel better when you look better. With a few simple adjustments, you can display confidence and soon, you will actually improve it.

Physiological Adaptations to Wetland Habitats
Low gas-diffusivity and oxygen-solubility in water are primary constraints in wetland and aquatic environments. Consequentially, microbes may remove oxygen from all but surface layers of waterlogged soils and generate phytotoxins, while shoot-submergence may substantially reduce CO2-availability for photosynthesis, compromising carbohydrate production. Oxygen limitations may cause energy crises within the plant and self-generation of damaging reactive oxygen species; enhanced generation and entrapment of the gaseous hormone ethylene also accompany waterlogging and submergence. Globally, wetlands differ in altitude, timing, duration and depth of flooding, light, temperature, and biogeochemistry. Consequently, suites of adaptive traits have evolved in plants to accommodate these varied conditions. Adaptations include anoxia avoidance by facilitating gas exchange with the atmosphere to support aerobic metabolism, an emergence escape strategy or a medium-term submergence tolerance strategy, or production of leaves capable of photosynthesis when submerged. Other adaptations include short- or long-term anoxia tolerance or protection from reactive oxygen species and phytotoxins.

Nothing really has changed in the Premier League table after this weekend's fixtures even after Chelsea playing a draw against Southampton. The Blues, at first position, are still 3 points ahead of second placed Manchester City who also played a draw against Burnley.
But we can't be dependent on others to maintain our position in the league and we have never been this season actually. However, the contrary was the case on Sunday when Chelsea fans were hoping and praying for Burnley to hold City to a 2-2 draw till the very last second of the game.
So let's have a look at the things we learned from Southampton game:
1. One mistake by referee was what might have cost us 3 points
Again, we can't be dependent on others for our position but we all know what big part referees have in the game. Targett, as he tried to stop Fabregas inside the box, did have a contact with the midfielder and a terrible decision by the referee saw the Spaniard being accused of diving and was shown a yellow card. Had he not made the mistake of accusing Fabregas of diving and given a penalty for the foul on the Spaniard instead, who knows Chelsea would have been 5 points ahead of City right now.
2. Eden Hazard enters a well deserved double figure
What more can you ask for when you have a player as consistent and skilled as Eden Hazard in you team? The Belgian scored the only goal of the match for the Blues and his tenth in the Premier League this season, as he equalized for his team at the stroke of half time after the Saints had taken the lead in the 17th minute. Receiving the assist from Fabregas, then rounding off a couple of defenders and finally smashing the ball in, that's how beautifully it was carved by the 23-year-old. Getting better day by day, Eden Hazard is someone whom we can expect to produce wonders against Tottenham and Man City in the month of January, which will also see him turn 24.
3. Good link-up play on the left flank
And the credit for that goes to Eden Hazard and Filipe Luis. Luis had an excellent game throughout, something which he always does whenever he gets the opportunity. Southampton never really had a real chance from his area, thanks to his solid defending. Going forward, the Brazilian linked up well with Hazard and was a constant threat. And Eden Hazard! Well, he hasn't been the Man of the Match for the two consecutive times for nothing. Running with the ball, clever passes, his electrifying goal, tearing apart the Saint's defence, all this were a part of yet another amazing day for the Belgian.
4. Not a good game for our Back-four
Our back four, except for Filipe Luis, had probably one of the most shaky games of their career. Gary Cahill had something positive to his name when he stopped a through ball from Tadic to deny Southampton an opener. Ivanovic and Terry, however, were unfortunate enough to give us anything good about their performance. While Ivanovic seemed to have lost control of Tadic in the first half, Terry couldn't execute the offside plan properly only to give open chance to Mane to open the scoring for the day. Both Terry and Ivan, although he had extra pressure owing to Schurrle's porr defending skills, could have done much better.
5. We gave it all!
In the end it was not a good day for us, something which has been a rare thing for the Blues this season. Except for Hazard, Fabregas, and Luis, all other eight men could have done better. But even they didn't have a terrible game, with all of them giving their 100 percent! Whether it be the next-to-no resting period or a good Southampton home side, we have still not lost anything much from a bad performance, especially after City also played a draw on the same day. Next up is Tottenham away on the New Year's eve, but for now, we are heading into 2015 at top of the table and 3 points clear of Manchester City!

|Butterfly photo opp.
This was our third year at the Carleton butterfly show. It's a tradition and I love it.
|The deets in case you're thinking of going.
The butterfly show takes place at Carleton University in a greenhouse in the biology building. It's hot and muggy, but beautiful. The university receives 5 shipments of butterflies over the course of the show totaling 1300 butterflies and representing 41 species from around the world.
|Attempting to get the butterfly on the orange.
Volunteers are on hand to answer questions and hand out pieces of fruit. If you're lucky a little guy will land on the fruit and you can admire him close up.
|Helpful sign.
I really appreciate the sign with the different species on it. I know if I'm gazing at an Owl Butterfly or a Blue Morpho.
|The Owl Butterfly.
See the beauty of the Owl Butterfly? When he closes his wings, it looks like there's a much bigger creature peering out at you. It's a great way to scare off predators.
This year was better than the last two because the kids are older and more aware and excited. Little K still had moments where she was scared and she insisted I carry her the whole time, but Little J was more excited than I've seen him.
|Butterflies close up!
He didn't have much luck getting a butterfly to land on his fruit so we actually went to one of the feeding stations set up around the greenhouse and grabbed an orange with a butterfly already on it. The butterfly happily munched away while Little J got to inspect it close up.
|A wall of butterflies.
Little K was happy to be out of the greenhouse and ran over to check out the wall of butterfly pictures. There was also the standard picture in front of the huge butterfly picture (at the top of this post). The species on the wall changes every year. You'll have to take my word for it until I can show you in a post tomorrow.
|The magic garden.
Before heading back home we checked out the area right near the greenhouse and explored the giant teepee set up and wandered near the water. This archway looks like it leads to a magical garden.
We lucked out with beautiful weather before the rain started and the crowds weren't bad while we were there. If you go, and I think you should, don't bring your stroller and wear a t-shirt. It's muggy in there.

It's Fashion Revolution Week! This year I'm posting three days of DIYs inspired by Fashion Revolution's #haulternative prompt...
#Haulternative: the sustainable version of a shopping haul, spotlighting dearly loved, vintage, secondhand, swapped, rented, and upcycled goods in an effort to show that fashion is about more than a shopping binge. Learn more here.
I've participated in the Love Story and #whomademyclothes social media prompts in past years so I knew I wanted to focus on DIY this time around. It's something I've loved since I was a kid but don't often make time for in my busy adult life. I emailed Justina at Smockwalker Vintage to see if she would be on board for sending me a few good-but-not-perfect vintage things to upcycle. Not only was she in, she even did her own DIY work on two things before sending them!
I'll be featuring three different clothing DIY projects this week, starting with:
Justina's Adorable "L" Embroidery
Ethical Details: Top - upcycled via Smockwalker Vintage; Skirt - c/o People Tree; Shoes - Julia Bo
You'll need:
- A thrifted, vintage, or pre-owned collared shirt
- Embroidery thread in the color of your choice
- A needle
- Scissors
To Make:
I recommend following this step by step guide. You might not need the embroidery hoop for a small project like this one.
I'll be back tomorrow with a fringed denim DIY!
If you end up doing a #haulternative this week, Justina and I would love to see it! Tag @stylewiseblog and @smockwalkervintage on Instagram!

Information from PenMar hasn't come easily
To the editor:
I'm writing in response to PenMar Development Corporation (PMDC) Executive Director Rich Rook's recent letter wherein he berates me and other members of the Cascade Committee for providing "as usual...grossly incorrect" information concerning the firing range and other issues at Fort Ritchie.
In view of the fact that I and others in our organization put forth a huge effort over the past year to successfully force PMDC to finally begin sharing Fort Ritchie-related information with the public, I can assure you that any factual mistakes we may have made were not intentional and we regret them.
As a result of our efforts mentioned above, copies of PMDC's board meeting minutes, annual reports and other public records are, for the first time since PMDC's creation over five years ago, now available to the public and the press at the Blue Ridge Summit library and, increasingly, on our Web site at www.cascadecommittee.org.

I discovered the bakery was closed - I never can remember that they close at 3 on Saturdays! So I figured I'd walk over to Starbucks for my little treat. On the way I looked down towards the river and it was covered with fog. I've seen that on lots of mornings - I'll look out the windows and there's just this big white "roll" of fog going down the river. But this was almost 4:00 p.m.! So I decided I'd go down for a better view. I do love that river. :)
It was quite mysterious and eerie and so I had to take pictures which I now have to share. Taking pictures of fog is probably a kind of hopeless task, but if you've seen some of my many other pictures of the river and the riverfront park, you'll have a good idea of how thick this fog was. Anyway, here they are.

With the start of a new year come new firearm laws. On Jan. 1, two new laws will control who can purchase and own weapons and ammunition in Oregon and California.
RELATED: The man who stopped the Texas church shooter said he couldn't have done so without his AR-15
In Oregon, law enforcement authorities and family members can now petition a court to issue an Extreme Risk Protection Order against someone they believe to be an "imminent risk" to themselves or others, according to KDRV. The law is designed to interfere with suicides — about 50 percent of which are committed using a firearm, according to CDC data — and mass shootings.
Oregon is only the fourth state to have such a law on the books, according to ABC News.
If an order is issued by a judge, an individual is compelled to surrender their weapons within 24 hours. The individual targeted by the order has 30 days to request a hearing to keep their firearms; law enforcement officials are required by law to keep the seized firearms safe for 21 days.
In California, Proposition 63 will go into effect, according to KRON4. Passed by voters in 2016, the law requires person convicted of a crime that makes them ineligible to own a firearm — misdemeanors related to violent crimes, domestic abuse and illegal weapons, along with any felony charge — to prove to a court or a probation officer that they sold or transferred weapons registered to them within a specified period of time after the conviction.
Under previous California law, there was no way to ensure someone actually forfeited their guns after being convicted of a crime that requires them to do so. California estimates that over 3200 people who are supposed to have forfeited their guns have not done so.
Prop 63 also makes it illegal for residents to purchase ammunition online and have it delivered to their door; any ammunition purchase must go through a state licensed firearms dealer, according to text of the law posted by KRON4. In 2019, Californians will see an additional ammunition provision that requires a background check for purchases of bullets and shotgun shells.
And in a new addition to the state's already-stringent rifle regulations, all rifles with magazines that detach with a button — so-called "Bullet Buttons" — will require registration with the state Department of Justice by June of 2018.

Lindt had made chocolate Easter Bunnies in Switzerland since the 1950's, and Hauswirth had made them in Austria since 1962. Lindt introduced their product to Austria in 1994, aware of the fact that there were already bunnies (including Hauswirth's) on the market there, and in 2000 it applied to register a 3-D CTM.
During the 90s, developments in the technology of wrapping machines had dictated that the shapes of different manufactures' bunnies had become more and more similar.
Lindt sued Hauswirth for infringement of its Austrian trade mark, and Hauswirth counterclaimed for invalidity on the grounds of bad faith. The Austrian Supreme Court referred the case to the Court of justice, asking for guidance on what was meant by bad faith.
AG Sharpston confirmed that bad faith is a ground for invalidity distinct from grounds based on conflicting prior rights. While it could not be precisely defined, it can be said that it involves conduct that departs from accepted principles of ethical behaviour or honest commercial and business practices: it is not confined to situations where the application is made purely to stop someone else using a mark, with no intention on the part of the applicant to use it. This was the Commission's take on the matter, and looks as if it would let Lindt off the hook (though of course it is not the court of justice's job to decide whether the registration is valid or not).
Should he test be subjective or objective? The AG thought a bit of both - there has to be some sort of dishonest intention or sinister motive, which is normally established by reference to objective factors. In the absence of direct evidence of the trade mark owner's state of mind, evidence of the common state of knowledge n the relevant sector will be taken into account.
Bad faith therefore falls to be considered on a case-by-case basis, and must take account of the historical context. If the applicant intends to stop others using signs that they have used in the past, this indicates bad faith, but the intention might be justifiable and for that, all the circumstances have to be considered.
The fact that this case involves a shape mark, and that the technology limited the choice of shapes available to competitors, introduces an important additional dimension that will be lacking in cases involving less exotic trade marks. The more limited the choice available, the less likely the trade mark is to be valid. The AG's conclusion was:
In order to determine whether 'the applicant was acting in bad faith when he filed the application for the trade mark' within the meaning of Article 51(1)(b) of Council Regulation (EC) No 40/94 of 20 December 1993 on the Community trade mark, a national court must take account of all the available evidence from which it is possible to conclude that the applicant was or was not acting knowingly in a manner incompatible with accepted standards of honest or ethical conduct. In particular:
– an intention to prevent others from using similar signs in respect of similar products may be incompatible with such standards if the applicant was, or must have been, aware that others were already legitimately using similar signs, particularly if that use was substantial and longstanding and enjoyed a degree of legal protection, and if the nature of the sign was dictated to some extent by technical or commercial constraints;
– however, such an intention would not necessarily be incompatible with those standards if the applicant himself had enjoyed similar or greater legal protection in respect of the mark applied for and had used it in such a way, to such an extent and over such a time that the use by others of their similar signs could be considered to derive unjustified benefit from the applicant's sign, and if those others were not constrained in their ability to choose dissimilar signs.

Save space. Goodbye filing cabinets! Having your files all stored on your computer (and backed up on the cloud, of course) is going to save you a load of space. It also means you can expand your team and make the most of the room you have in your office, or you could downsize and make a saving on your rent.
Save time. Just hit 'search' when hunting for documents. You can also automate so many tasks these days it will revolutionise the way you work. Rather than wasting your time with tedious administrative work, setting up workflows on applications will allow you to complete some tasks in seconds or minutes.
Collaboration becomes easier. Jump on the same document as a collaborator makes communicating your thoughts a lot easier. Here at Futrli, we rely on Google Docs a lot because they're easy to amend on the go or remotely. All automatically backed up in Google Drive, we can rest assured our work is safe and waiting for us to come back to the next morning. We're always jumping on video calls to discuss our work, mostly using Zoom.
Stronger security. There can be nothing worse than a document falling into the wrong hands. You'll need to implement a policy in which everyone working for you understands; get a system in place that logs the creation and use, all the way to the destruction of a document. Software like Futrli, for example, allows you to control your entire account, and give access to some dashboards to managers, supervisors or even entry-level employees.
Customer satisfaction improves. In the modern world, we've got used to instant everything. Is your business using technology to help your customers? Having this functionality stops the relentless ringing of the phone from disrupting your admin time and will see your customers being served quicker and more efficiently.
It's cost-effective. While post is preferred by some, and is unavoidable in some industries, sending out mass letters going to cost you. Can you say the same thing in an email? With design technology being so advanced, you could say the same thing but more nicely presented, with your branding, effectively for free. This takes into account the amount spent annually on paper, ink, etc and maintenance against the longevity of a computer bought new.
Great for the environment. Cutting down on your paper consumption will lower this rate of unsustainable deforestation, though you'll need to look into responsibly disposing of your electronics too to really make a difference.
Disaster recovery is possible. Backing up your work (which cloud-powered apps will automate for you) means even if you have managed to accidentally delete it, there's a good chance you can recover it. Jotting down a note to yourself and never seeing it again happens to the best of us, and it's such a pain. Write it on your computer, phone or tablet and even if that breaks or gets lost, recovery is possible if you've backed up.

Sneak a peek around the corner.
Be careful and be very quiet.
You don't want to scare it away.
Do you see it?
It's spring.
Spring is just around the corner.
How do I know? The Somerset County Maple Producers' annual tree tapping ceremony was Saturday.
Traditionally, the tree tapping ceremony marks the coming of spring to Somerset County. It means the days are getting warmer, so the sugar water is starting its run back through the sugar maple trees to bring them back to life after a long winter's nap.


text: Well, my planned 6mi run turned into a 4 miler. I didn't realize my old route around WPI was that hilly but toss in little to no shade or wind on a wicked hot day and I got gassed. Rather than push it, I bailed out at the halfway point. I just couldn't channel my inner Gompei or jack rabbit today. But, that cute lil guy kept me company as I walked off the run.

I had a bit of a shock this week: I love data collection.
I know that I am prone to hyperbole, but in this case my statement is 100% accurate. I LOVE data collection and far more than I expected to.
At the time of publishing I have surveyed the class I am working with and interviewed four students: this is my 'time 1' (or 'pre-intervention') data collection. Generally speaking, I do not complete any uni work over the weekend. The luxury of being a full-time uni student and working casually is that I can complete most of my work during the day, leaving night-time and weekends of relaxation and socialising. This is particularly important for me as I'm prone to working obsessively and such a schedule helps to maintain a work-life balance.
This weekend was a different story. Whilst I managed a breakfast date, a beach photography session, and a run, my desire to indulge myself in study couldn't be suppressed. I spent the weekend pouring over survey responses, looking for trends, and considering reasons behind the students' answers. It was the most fun I've had completing uni work in a long time.
On Monday and Tuesday I completed four 25-minute interviews, purposefully selected to represent a range of students. The result of this was a rather rude introduction to completing transcriptions. "They're just a twenty-minute interview" I thought naively "how long can it take?"
A while. It took a while.
Each interview is between 2000 and 2500 words. It takes a not-insignificant length of time to type out that many words: thank goodness twenty-years of piano-playing have resulted in me having fairly adept typing skills.
It was draining, but it was so enjoyable. I have never experienced an academic challenge so deeply satisfying as developing your own study and exploring your own data. It's brilliant. The luxury of spending two hours speaking in-depth with students about what they think and feel about mathematics is the best professional development I have ever experienced.
I feel personally connected to the data: I want to understand it, I want to reflect on it in light of literature I have spent the last two years reading. I am surprised at a number of trends that have emerged from the data (bearing in mind the data is collected from an advanced year nine class in a co-educational independent school in regional NSW). This is in no way a comprehensive or complete list, and I've purposely kept data as ambiguous as possible (given that it's unpublished at present) however, the following points are of interest:
- Students value maths. Highly. Literature I have read suggests that mathematics is socially devalued and that it is 'cool to hate maths.' Surprisingly, students indicated the contrary to be true, stating time and time again that mathematics, along with science and English are 'core' subjects and integral to school and career success.
- Students like connections between what's being taught and 'real-life' to be made explicit. Yes, not everything we teach in mathematics (like most subjects) is directly relevant to real life. Nonetheless, learning should be contextualised. For example 'this algebra skill leads into these topics in senior that underpin these careers' or 'this year 10 topic on exponentials leads into a topic in senior mathematics on growth and decay that has many applications in biology and chemistry' and so forth.
- Students believed that if you work hard you can achieve success, and that a positive 'mindset' is a key factor in improvements in educational outcomes.
- Students believed that intelligence and talent are both malleable, although you're born with a certain amount of intelligence.
- Time and time again students emphasised the importance of the teacher and the teacher's explanations in generating understanding. They valued clear, logical explanations and the teacher following-up any misunderstandings with students.
- Students find peer-to-peer interactions useful in generating understanding. They appreciate their peers can provide an alternate, "lay-man's" explanation of concepts they are struggling with.
I strongly implore teachers to consider a research-based masters, or a masters with a strong research component. It's fantastic. You get to learn about the things that interest you. It's (currently) covered by the Research Training Scheme (RTS) which means it's FREE (yes, free). It's highly flexible: with fewer deadlines I can work easily around my schedule. For example, some weeks I work a lot or am really social. I don't get much study done those weeks but I compensate for it at other times when I have less on my plate. In completing a coursework masters there are more frequent, shorter, deadlines. For some people that is necessary – or else study would get shoved to the back of the pile of things to never be completed. Personally I much prefer it: picking a topic that completely fascinates you is crucial for this.
Over the next few weeks I'll be completing in-class observations, something I'm incredibly excited about. I am fortunate to be working with a teacher I deeply admire and respect and I believe I will learn a lot from them that will enhance my teaching practice.
I'm interested to hear from other teachers that have chosen to complete their masters via research: what was your experiences? What did you perceive to be the advantages and disadvantages of studying via research versus coursework?

'Tis the season
Not far from home the pohutukawa trees with their crimson flowers are living up to their title of the New Zealand Christmas. They are an unmistakable symbol of Christmas for New Zealanders at home and abroad.
12 comments:
It's interesting to hear how other people celebrate.ReplyDelete
The Pohutakawa is in splendid form this year and the lily is a beautiful specimen.ReplyDelete
Such beauty at a festive time of year!ReplyDelete
They are similar to what we call bottle brush trees. Nice Christmas plant!ReplyDelete
That poh... hrm, tree with the red flowers, is lovely. I always find it so hard to imagine Christmas in summer as I've never experienced it.ReplyDelete
The Pohutukawa is beautiful & looks very similar to what we here in Oz call a Bottlebrush. We had one of those Lilys in our previous house but I think ours was called a peace lily, maybe similar but different perhaps, I'm not much of an expert on plant knowledge.ReplyDelete
I love your photos of the flower and the tree. I think I need to go to New Zealand at Christmas to see for myself! (I don't need an excuse to want to see New Zealand!!)ReplyDelete
Beautiful pictures...beautiful blooms...beautiful nature. :)ReplyDelete
I think you live in a land of beauty!ReplyDelete
lovely lillies and pohutukawas, hoping your xmas was lovely up north :-)ReplyDelete
Hi Pauline, its always lovely to catch up on what's happening in your world and how it is looking. May the new year bring all things happy and good for you and yours and hoping you embraced a blessed Christmas.ReplyDelete
Here's to you and the coming year! Cheers!
What lovely blooms Pauline! I love that mountain backdrop too!ReplyDelete

How To Pack For Wildcrafting
When wildcrafting or harvesting wild edibles, packing the right equipment without over packing is essential. Bringing the right equipment will save you a lot of hassle and help you collect all that you need. Now, I have had a few lessons from 'old timers' on what, where and when to collect, yet I tend to diverge with their advice on equipment portion. The traditional collection method I have seen, is to simply toss everything into a wicker, rattan or bamboo pack and sort it out later. This is a great way to hold a lot of greens, nuts and mushrooms, but not an optimum way to keep greens from wilting, crushing mushrooms and it to creates a whole lot more work for yourself later when you have to sort out your harvest.
In my experience there are better ways to collect than simply throwing everything into one bag, and there are ways to keep your harvest fresh for when you get back rather than having a pile of wilted greens
What to Pack
The basics for wildcrafting equipment are pretty simple but make sure you pack according to what you are after. It makes no sense to bring a trowel if you are out to get morels likewise, digging for burdock roots by hand is not a pleasant experience:
- Pack your guides, trees, edible plants, mushrooms for what ever you are out for. Unless of course you have a very specific species in mind.
- A good pair of gloves, always useful, especially with nettles
- Shears, its better to snip then to rip
- A pocket knife, always comes in handy
- A small shovel / garden trowel to dig at roots
- If you are out in the deep woods a GPS or a compass is probably a good idea.
I try to go light when I am out, the more equipment you have the less space you have for what you collect. They more you want to collect, the more space you need which means you need a bigger pack, thus we transition into the next section....
The Pack
First, your pack should be appropriate size to what your purpose is. If you are just going out for a quick walk around the back yard a backpack is not necessary and you can probably just carry a few cloth bags. A hike through the woods might require a day pack, while taking a morning or afternoon to do some more serious collecting may warrant taking a full pack.
The style of pack I prefer is one without a zipper.If you must get with a zipper make sure it is reliable and under warranty. The less you have to worry about zippers failing the easier it will be to have a pack for a long time. Cheap packs will eventually fail as you will be constantly in and out of them to remove and replace containers ID books, and rearrange contents. This is the reason that many old timers rely on wicker packs with a simple lid and just toss everything together. Zippers fail and plastic clips will break but a lid will be pretty reliable unless one loses it. A pack with a drawstring style opening is also a good choice but such styles can be hard to find in smaller versions.
I also reccomend getting something that is washable and has a re-inforced bottom. You will be stting the pack down a lot and the bottom will take some abuse. The first time you forget a few boletes at the bottom of your pack you will be glad that it is washable too. My prefered store for collection packs is an army surplus store or an army navy store. They usualy have resonably priced, simple and reliable equipment that is built to last a long time.
Containers and Bags
An important part of wildcrafting is packing the appropriate containers. Plastic bags, while easy to come by do not breathe, and rip easily if collecting heavy or spiny plants or nuts. They also blow away, do not decompose and are not washable / reusable if they get dirty.I recommend getting washable cloth and mesh bags. This type of bag is perfect collecting anythign from mushrooms to roots, as it will notlead to sweating and 'mushification' in a humid plastic environment. It also is the a choice for for roots, and nuts, and andy woody plants since they will not rip or poke through a cloth bag.
I use pillowcases often, smaller sized ones since they are lightweight, washable and durable. I also re-use mesh produce bags from oranges, onions and potates as they seem to hold up well. When collecting mushrooms I often carry them in a mesh bag so that the spores will spread as I walk, relieving some of the guilt if I take a big harvest.
Plastic containers are appropriate when going nutting, or berry picking or for greens. If you use a plastic container make sure it has a secure lockable lid and can be stored in your pack without it flopping or rolling around. Containers of the same size that can be stored within eachother are a mush. When picking greens or seed pods, or buds a plastic container with a damp paper towel or two will keep your greens freash and un-wilted (also use a damp towel if puttinh greens in a cloth bag).
Other Considerations
Do not try to pack for everything, its easier and more enjoyable to simply gather the basics and get outside. If you happen to stumble over a rare find of berries, not having a plastic container doesn't mean you leave them, it just means you improvise. Try not to forget basics that you might want, insect repellents, water ect. Also make sure your guides are appropriate for the field. I find the smaller guides, specific to a region, rather than the country are lighter, have better photos and often have more detail. Carrying around a fifteen pound herb bible isn't the best idea.
Remember to harvest responsibly and not to eat anything you are unsure of. Above all, relax and have fun!

You can read it, and see what you think. Certainly we all have our opinions about what the "school of the future" will or should look like, based on our own experiences, biases, and interests. A large part of what we think should happen in schools in the future is, I think, dictated by how disposed we are to see the past as better, or worse, than the present time. (This is mirrored in the larger debates over traditional/progressive schooling, and probably conservatism/progressivism in politics).
Here is a current Australian vision for the "school of the future". It frankly doesn't seem much different than the type of schooling predicted by Asimov: "electronic with a capital E!" But then you actually read the article, and it''s talking about things like" VCRs, laserdiscs, and telephones. Yep, the "school of the future" is already out of date.
I used to teach science fiction to kids, and I like to use images of what people thought the future would look like. This Reddit has some nice posts that you can look at. The human mind can always leap farther with its dreams and ideas than technology can. Filmmakers like Stanley Kubrick never thought to go past 2001 with his space odyssey. The Back to the Future movies had their own ideas about what 2015 would look like (and, strangely, hoverboards are here now).
I think technological progress is slow, relentless, and sometimes, paradigm shifting. Iteration upon iteration seems to be the way a lot of technologies progress. A lot of things in my house would be unrecognizable to my great-grandparents, but many would not.
The question to ask yourself is this: would Dewey in 1915, recognize your classroom as a place of learning, in 2015? My guess is yes. Yes, he would also recognize "21st century skills" such as creativity and critical thinking. You could teach Mr. Time Traveller Dewey how to use an iPad, and chances are, he would enjoy your class. I suspect he would quite like the opportunity to learn with modern tools.
Here are my predictions for the school of the future:
- kids will still learn in a room with teachers
- schools will continue to use the technology of their day (hopefully very effectively)
I am comfortable saying very little else about the school of the future.
As for "22nd century teaching and learning", i'm sure it will look a lot like "21st century teaching and learning". 21st century teaching and learning is really teaching for "the now", as my friend Mary says. What I am trying to say here is that human interactions and relationships will still be paramount. The "'school of the future" will "Human with a capital H".

RE: Under 17
This question is a follow up to question 21020
Thanks for answering my question. Forgive my denseness but there are still a couple of things that I am unsure of: 1.I know to stop play immediatley if the foul is being retaliated, but if not and the ball has been cleared way up field in favor of the victims team, do I wait for a stoppage to raise my flag and get the center's attention, or do I stand there with my flag up while play is going on? Remember the Ref and most of the action is already upfield and he may not see the flag immediatly and it could be a scoring opportunity. 2. I am embarassed to ask this one, but what about the restart when you play advantage for a cautionable offense in this situation? (after waiting for a stoppage) I would think that you would have to restart way back in the victim's defensive end of the field (where the foul occured) even if the ball was way up field at the time of the stoppage. That wouldn't be a crowd pleaser but perhaps there's a better way to handle the situation. Your advice would be appreciated.
While the AR does not call advantage, he does evaluate it, hopefully in synch with how the referee would call it if he saw it. That means if Red has a good advantage, you wouldn't signal for a foul and misconduct by Blue just then. If you do play the mental AR advantage, then you inform the referee at the next stoppage who should be cautioned and why. (If it would have been a send-off, you should probably attempt to stop play ASAP, unless the ball is headed directly for the net.) The restart would be for the reason play was stopped - throw in, another foul, kickoff following goal, etc. If you must stop play, the referee probably won't immediately see your signal, but the other AR should see it. He then would mirror your signal, and when acknowledged by the referee, he would motion back to your raised flag.
If it involves violent conduct, unless a goal is eminent, you should do whatever you need to, to get the referee's attention and have play stopped and the VC punished. If it is a foul or a cautionable foul and the referee has gone over in pregame what you should do, you wait until the stoppage and get the referee's attention and give him or her your information. the restart, however, HAS to be for whatever caused the stoppage.

Published at Thursday, 06 September 2018. Storage Shed. By Bettye Harrell.
As you can see that still have the coke bottle glass, I like the beat-up look of this building. Not everything is perfect, not everything straight lines. It'S all concrete, keeping some broken windows kind of keeping the originality of the building was important to me for Michael, the vintage gas station certainly had plenty of appeal, but it also posed its share of challenges. One of the biggest was converting a separate men's and women's bathrooms, which could only be entered through exterior doors into one family, bathroom accessible from the interior. A 10 inch thick brick wall divided.
The two rooms Michael had to knock through it before he could combine the rooms seal off the exterior doors and add a new sink and shower just outside the bathroom Michael converted. The old supply room into a laundry room, adding a closet and raising the hot water tank to conserve space down from the laundry room is the master bedroom. Originally, this space was outside where the gas pumps were located. Michael enclosed the space to create square footage for the master bedroom, but there was one big complication when it rained hard we'd be about an inch of water in this room. I had that for more concrete in here, which I probably had done from the get-go.
This is where the cores used to pull in and get their oil change or get the normal maintenance done. Michael had to pour 14 yards of concrete to cover oil and other fluids spilled from the many cars that had been worked on over the years. The new foundation also sealed old drains and pipes that were no longer needed, and then the real work began so after we actually got the foundation built. We started in on the electrical plumbing Michael, wanted to keep the exposed brick seam throughout this area of the house, but years of exhaust fumes had left a heavy layer of sludge on the walls. I first had to put a stripper compound on it.

Land's End, Cornwall, UK May 2007
These are the dramatic cliff faces of Land's End on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean with the first and last hotel/cafe/parking lot/toilets of England in the distance.
The amazing formations remaining from the crumbling cliff faces are spectacular and I am really amazed at why they look the way they do. I can almost see the erosion happen before my eyes and yet there are these defiant structures which refuse to succumb to the forces of nature and time.
In the distance in the left of the picture you can just make out a phallic looking structure which is some sort of lighthouse-like perched atop a smaller bed of rocks to both mark the beginning of the landmass proper and to warn unsuspecting seamen of the other, less visible danger immediately ahead, as if to say that sometimes you can be too fixated on the future but you may not make it that far as you will trip over something which is immediately before you.

Bear wanted to see the cattle at Stockyards. Fort Worth Stockyards is the national historic district where there are lots of Western Stores, a Rodeo place, Billy Bob's Texas and where they drive cattle along the streets twice a day. Hamish the Scottish Highland Coo wanted to see his Texan relatives - and so did Bear.So Bear and OP headed off to Stockyards in OP's Mystery Machine. Not very many people on the streets there, but at least Bear saw its first Cowboy (or rather someone who wore a Cowboy-hat). They went around a bit, Bear took lots of pictures, read a few signs, talked to OP and then they sat down at the street to wait for the cattle.
There was a Cowboy-cop strolling along - it seemed the cattle-drive would start soon. And then they came. A few Cowboys on horses in front, behind and in between and a few Longhorns . Not many though. But there weren't many people on the streets either.
The Cowboy at the front always said: "Come on, cattle. Come on." And the cattle came. Slowly. Not looking left, not looking right they went along that street - Bear took pictures, Hamish got excited - and that was that. Bear imagined it a bit different. When Bear read about that it sounded like a real exciting thing: Cowboys galopping along, yelling "Yeehaww" and cattle running and mooing...
But anyway, Bear and Hamish got to see their cattle. And impressive horns they do have, Bear (and also Hamish) must admit!
After watching steaks on feet, OP suggested lunch (which was actually an early dinner, as it was about 5pm already). So they went to a place that looked like some Austrian Heuriger on the outside and ordered steak-burgers with French fries. And beer. Of course. Frosted. Bear is not really a fan of how the English (or British) serve most of their beer - warmish (not too often anymore, but still in some places), but *this* was ridiculous! The glasses - that looked like goblets - were frosted. Ice-cold! Bear could not even properly touch the glass.
The steak-burger was not incredibly good but ok. But along with it came a Jalapeno! Bear has seen those on TV already and knew what it was gonna taste like. And Bear is not really a fan of hot or spicy food. Definitely not hot. But Bear is also very curious (and a bit stupid). And OP said: "If you have a bite I am going to give you 50$." So Bear did have a bite. And another. And another. Bear's mouth hurt. But Bear was so brave and took three bites! The 150$, Bear never got...
EveningAfter that meal, they wandered around a bit looking for Cowboy-hats, postcards and fridge magnets for Bear and then went back to the Mystery Machine. OP wanted to show Bear some really nice houses and a place he once wanted to buy. They drove around a quite nice area with pretty posh houses here and there. Bear was impressed. There was even an area where mostly students lived. OP told Bear that their parents bought the houses for them, they lived in it as long as they studied and then sold them. Incredible what kinds of cars Bear could see in front of those houses. Ok, nearly everyone in Texas has a pick-up-truck, but for heaven's sake these were only students!! Actually, what was really funny: one could see two to three huge cars in front of nearly every house. The house being not so big at all, rather small and it looked like the cars were bigger than the house!
Anyway, Bear and OP drove around that area for some while, Bear took lots of pictures and a video (which is not online yet) and then home.
For some reason Bear and OP were so incredibly tired that they went to bed instantly. It was only evening, but they felt like they couldn't keep their eyes open anymore. After only two hours or something, Bear woke up and saw the digital clock on the radio blinking. Bear watched it for about 30mins until it realised that this meant that the electricity was back on! Bear woke OP up and told him. OP was so glad about it that he went around the flat turning everything on and trying every electrical thing. Bear started to unpack its suitcase and have a shower.
Later that night they went to have another burger, a corny dog and bought some ice for the fridge. Bear learned that it is an American thing to carry ice around in a cup and eat it all the time. Bear thought that this was quite an annoying habit. *gulp*crack*crack*gulp*

My sweetie and I are opposites.
We play differently.
We work differently.
Vastly differently.
Every time we join forces on a creative project our communication becomes very intense. So much friction and misunderstanding. We can go from laughing to door slamming in about 30 seconds.
But this time we managed to record in the studio together with no major meltdowns.

This book reviews the main topics in thromboprophylaxis around orthopedic surgery, from a general scope of the problems with the disease highlighting them in orthopedics to the new specific protocols involving, for example, new oral anticoagulants. The prevalence of the venous thromboembolism in each procedure (from "easy" to "hard" surgeries, with different rates of related thrombosis) and the risk factors to bear in mind in each one (related and non-related with the orthopedic procedure) are also revised. A chapter focus on the diagnosis and treatment of venous thromboembolism, which is commonly "forgotten" in many books addressed to orthopedic surgeons and anaesthesiologists. The methods for thromboprophylaxis have three specific chapters: the most common drugs used and recommended when pharmacological prophylaxis is needed, new drugs which are arising day by day and which management will be of main importance in a close near future, and mechanical methods, recommended both as additional when possible and for sole indications when the risk of bleeding could move us to minimize the real risk of thrombosis. Anaesthetic implications for thromboprophylaxis and, also, main implications of the application of antithrombotic protocols in the anaesthetic practice are covered by another chapter. In our opinion it was very important to divide the orthopedic procedures according to their own thrombotic risk, so having their own protocols for thromboprophylaxis: high risk, day surgery procedures and "special" surgical procedures are included in three different chapters, from three different authors with complementary views. Finally, in a last chapter, we review the problems involving the perioperatory management of antiaggregated and anticoagulated patients, with a special part in hip fracture surgery.

MILTON, Mass. – The Curry College men's hockey team defeated UMass.-Dartmouth, 5-1, in non-conference action on Friday night at the Max Ulin Rink in Milton, Mass. With the win the Colonels improve to 1-0 on the season while the loss drops the Corsairs to 0-1.
Curry capitalized on two of five power-play opportunities along with a short-handed disadvantage to take a 3-0 lead in the first period. The Colonels got on the board just 1:47 into the frame after freshman Nicholas Short (Las Angeles, Calif.) was called for hooking only 38 seconds into play. Senior Adam Valadao (Ajax, Ontario) tallied his first of two in the contest when he took a shot from outside the crease past the glove of UMD's senior goaltender Drew Michals (Newton, Mass.). Valadao was assisted by senior Shane Tracy (Bow, N.H.) and junior Zach White (Milford, Conn.). Just over two minutes later the Corsairs' junior Noah Anderson (Groveland, N.Y.) was called for roughing leading to Curry's second score. Valadao earned the goal off a helper from classmate Jarret Kup (Rosseau, Ontario). At the 7:36 minute mark senior Phil Kiss (Burlington, Ontario) was called for cross-checking giving UMD a man-up situation. Strong play however by the Colonels defense and their freshman goaltender Frank Cundiff (Oceanside, N.Y.) held the Corsairs scoreless. With 36 seconds in to the power-play for UMD, Curry fired their third into the back of the net. Sophomore Jordan Williamson (Okotoks, AB) received a pass from classmate Anthony Trujillo (Toronto, Ontario) and one-timed it over the shoulder of Michals. The Corsairs held a slight 16-14 advantage in shots.
The Colonels pushed their lead to 4-0 midway through the second for the only score in the period. Sophomore Joseph DiBenedetto (Anchorage, AK.) took a slap shot just outside the blueline into the top right corner of the net off an assist from freshman Tristan Morin (Unionville, Conn.). UMD had four power-play opportunities but failed at their scoring attempts leaving them without a goal through 40 minutes of action. Shots were even at 11 apiece.
The Corsairs netted their lone goal of the game in the third stanza after a 5-on-4 situation at the 7:54 mark. When the Colonels Williamson was called for high-sticking, UMD was able to control the puck in their offensive zone. It took just under a minute for the Corsairs to move the puck around before getting on the board and ending the shutout for Cundiff. Senior Mike Sones (Waterdown, Ontario) tipped the puck past the glove of Cundiff just outside the crease. Seniors Case Shea (Woburn, Mass.) and Jerry Laakso (Tempera, Finland) earned the assists. Curry answered back with their final tally of the contest just minutes later on another man-up advantage. Shea was in the box for UMD for a 2-minute slashing call. Just 26 seconds into the power-play junior Lionel Mauron (Lausanne, Switzerland) netted his first goal on the season with the assist credited to classmate Mack Heisinger (Winnipeg, Manitoba). Shots after the third were 11-10 in favor of Curry.
Curry went 3-5 on power plays while UMD was 1-6. The Corsairs had 37 shots while the Colonels had 36.
Cundiff made an impressive 36 saves in net for Curry in his first win as a Colonel. Michals had 31 stops in net for UMD in the loss.
Curry is back in action on October 28 when they travel to UMass.-Boston for a 4:00 p.m. puck drop.
