Progress report
Just for me. Seriously, none of you should be reading this. This is me using my blog as a personal journal. Go watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer instead, then come talk to me about it later. It will be more fun!
But if you must continue reading this post, then I will tell you the topic of my thesis, as it stands. It's not the topic started out with — at all — and that is unfortunate; I am mostly viewing this whole exercise as an education in what not to do. But anyway, my topic now is basically this: we spend lots of money restoring and creating wetlands and then we suck at seeing how well they are doing. There is no great spike in money for site monitoring forthcoming anytime soon, so I'm looking for ways to better use the dataset that current and past monitoring protocols have generated (and are generating now). Wouldn't it also be nice if the folks who are doing this monitoring would share their data with the rest of the world? Wetland Festivus for the rest of us? Stupid government agencies sitting on their data and never publishing a shred of anything. I'm not saying that last part. But I'm thinking it**.
Yesterday: No hours spent writing, but that's okay because Brad took the kids to a birthday party today and so I had a guaranteed big window of time to work on it. I didn't go to bed until after midnight, though. That was an accident due to, well, not looking at my watch.
Today: 2.5 hours spent writing, for reals. I have new citations and paragraphs and everything now to prove it! However, I think I may have made my entire introduction obsolete and will have to re-write it. Sigh.
I have met my obligations today. I am now free to weave, bake cookies, clean the bathroom, and play with my kids when they get home from the birthday party. And order the rest of my seeds. And make a calendar for planting seeds and transplanting starts. Yay! Perhaps I should consider measuring the pasture today so I can start developing an estimate for how much it will cost to fence in my hypothetical flock of sheep.
I can do all these things guilt-free today! Time management is so awesome!
**I've thought that often. When I worked on the GSL, we had a pile of data — a big pile — with nary a publication of any of it. There was all sorts of concern about giving away the locations of our super secret sampling sites. I get needing to keep those under wraps, but then why not just do that, eh? And still let someone publish something. Or make a presentation of it to someone. Something, please! The whole pile of data just sits. I made a map with some of it and sent it to a professor as a project (there was much, much angst and worrying about that from the bosses). My map, sadly, did not reveal anything super cool about the deep brine layer like I totally hoped it would (also: it did not reveal the locations of our sampling sites), so I'm still left with just the knowledge that the deep brine layer smells very, very bad and not much else. But there's data about it, oh yes there is, and there's more to explore but no limnologist will ever get their hands on it because no limnologist works on that crew (including me I'm not a limnologist I just think limnology is cool) and errrrrrr. I'm getting het up.
Howdy from the slog.
So, hi. Haven't dropped in for a while. That's because I've denying myself all things (except the ongoing textile projects, which cannot be denied but can have their time limited) in an effort to find the self-discipline to write my damn thesis.
I have become disturbingly lacking in the ability to focus, so this denial plan has totally failed. It turns out I would actually rather stare at a wall. And I would just do that sort of all night, feeling like I shouldn't go to bed because I hadn't gotten enough done and, well. I've stayed up late a lot and spun my wheels a lot too.
So. New plan. It's not so revolutionary. Instead of vague self-denial that just makes me unhappy and doesn't get me anywhere better, I'm going with time management!
One hour of writing per day.
Ye gods, this is slow going, but I put in one hour yesterday and one hour today and I have updated graphs, an updated table, two new references, some corrected in-text references, corrected formatting, and two or three new paragraphs! Pararaphs, y'all, and some are in my Discussion section. One of them even has an assertion, sort of. A weak-kneed, jello-like assertion, but I just have to write this stupid thing and get it off my back.
In the interest of time-management, I'm not planning a return to regular blog posting anytime soon, but it seemed okay to do this picture-less post after having put in my requisite hour tonight. And now I will maybe weave for a few minutes or hang out with Brad.
Other aspects of my new time-management plan: go to bed by 11:30 every night. After two weeks of this, re-evaluate and see if I think I should join the YMCA. Working out takes time, but I well know from experience that done in moderation it increases my energy for everything else, so it will probably help. We'll see after two weeks of normal sleep scheduling.
Um, Holden turned 10. That is a big deal and we had a big party, but it must wait a while.

"If you don't make mistakes,
you're not working on
hard enough problems.
And that's a big mistake."
F. Wikzek
I've always made mistakes and never thought much about it, I'm not sure why. On the other side of the equation, if I'm not making mistakes I quickly fall headlong into boredom, losing interest in what I'm doing which is often accompanied by the urge to escape. What exactly I'd be escaping from is subject to debate, but the need to know more, do more and learn more vibrates throughout my being.
Stretching yourself a little extra each day will start #creativity snowballing in your life. Click To Tweet
It's an easy bench mark to be aware of, "if you don't make mistakes." If I'm not making mistakes then chances are I'm not doing things that offer opportunities for me to stretch myself and learn new things. Of course if you don't want to stretch yourself and learn new things that's your choice and it's may be a good idea to check out another website to avoid feeling like I'm pointing a finger at you ( I Am).
Our only real challenge is within ourselves, within our hearts and minds, it's there that we can become more of who we are, not different necessarily but certainly more.
And what exactly does a person need to do to become more, I'm glad you asked. To grow, blossom, and prosper more each day requires taking one step after another along the Path of Curiosity. The journey may last your entire life, yet the effort required is small. Put one foot in front of the other and repeat. As each moment unfolds take a step, not another step, not two steps, take one step. Live within each moment with wonder because each moment is the only reality we have. Take one step then the next and then the next.
Ultimately curiosity is the art of questioning everything without judgment or assumptions that cling to and warp the questions into grotesque finger pointing fear based reactions to the unknown. (mouthful or what?) Curiosity has no walls or fences to control it or shape it into a polite guest at a tea party. Curiosity is neither elitist nor angry. curiosity only wants to know and even as I type I realize I too am trying to catch it, trying to explain the explainable. Curiosity is moment unfolding into moment with choiceless awareness. That's it, right? (laugh if you must)

"I don't want to talk about it"
"now leave me alone"
Football sucks. When does the hockey season start?
(I joke, I joke. I'm still watching. I'm supporting Ghana, Holland, and Germany, in that order).

Ah, the joys of having an Australian cat - I can always switch over to the cricket for some light relief.ReplyDelete
Holland, Holland!ReplyDelete
They keep surprising me! But I could not call myself a true fan because I am just not getting up at 4am to see them play.
Sorry about England Cath :(
Bob, my cats are Canadian, but prefer football to hockey. Fewer goals to make the hoomins cheer and startle them from their sleep.ReplyDelete
Nina, I'm not so surprised - they kind of flew under the radar in the group stages and now they're doing what Holland do best! Their game against Brazil is going to be a hard one to call...

Why is it that some music is considered embarrassing? Are we all focused on being cool 24/7 that we can't embrace our undying obsession with Sugababes (just me? Okay…). I have one distinct memory where I was walking into Dundrum Shopping Centre and outside volunteers were collecting money so like most people I stopped to put in money. At the time I was listening to shuffle on my old iPod classic. Let me just explain my iTunes is not, has never been, or never will be cool. I think I am the only person who enjoys my iPod on shuffle as it varies from rap to R&B to pop to Irish comprehension lessons (always learning!). Yet, here I am outside Dundrum, giving money to charity and the volunteer asks me what am I listening to? This is a completely valid and normal question, I have earphones in which must be plugged into something that emits sound. I could have been listening to The Beatles, Guns'n'Roses, Drake, No Doubt numerous 'cool' musicians yet I was listening to the High School Musical 2 soundtrack. I absolutely froze and like whenever I need more time I ask the person to repeat the question so I can formulate an answer. "I was wondering what you're listening to?". To which I replied, "Nothing, it's paused.".
Let me ask you what is worse, that I was listening to music he probably didn't like (also everyone else in the world other than me and my best friend) or saying I was walking around with earphones in and an iPod plugged in but said iPod was paused. Not turned off, not out of battery…paused. I probably would have given him all my money past, present, and future just to evaporate. He looked at me and then looked at my iPod which I then took to run.
I have decided no longer shall I shame myself for not constantly listening to 'cool' musicians. When I get the question what music do you listen to, to which I usually reply "well, it varies but my favourite band is Guns'n'Roses" to "well, it varies but my favourite band is Guns'n'Roses and I occasionally listen to HSM2. No, not the first one, the second one. Yes, the Disney movie about a musical high school." Until then I will continue to binge on Sugababes (which if you have been around here long enough, I've mentioned a few times), and don't tell me it's a guilty pleasure because there is nothing to be guilty about! (Except maybe HSM2, I probably should feel guilty for that…)

Recognized as Tageuk Warrior's "Blue Dragon," it is not surprising to see Lee Chung-yong as one of the national squad's key members. Aside from the fact that he is the squad's skipper, South Korea simply cannot afford to miss his crucial passes and spectacular dribbling skills. These are crucial ingredients to any of the squad's creative strategies on the pitch and needless to say, this role belongs to Lee Chung-yong.
Lee Chung-yong first etched his name in footballing history when an eager Cho Kwang-Rae envisioned a strong youth academy. Scouting for potential talents, Lee immediately caught his attention. The enormous talent and potential shown by the teenager convinced the manager to secure his signature at once. Lee then left middle school and joined FC Seoul where he soon became a regular starting XI of the squad.
Lee got his big break when he joined the Premier League outfit, Bolton Wanderers and in no time, he was named by the British daily, The Times as one of the 50 Rising Stars. It was also in Bolton Wanderers where he won several important awards. These include Bolton Player of the Year, Player's Player of the Year and Best Newcomer Award.
But Bolton Wanderers lost its Premier League status. Lee's stellar career began to experience some downsides as his Championship appearance does not seem to compensate for his stellar performance. Likewise, the injury that sidelined him for quite some time threatened to take him out of the limelight.
Lee, however, is fully aware that he was born to play football. He made another surprising move when he returned earlier than what was expected. His fast recovery was a clear proof of the player's love for the beautiful game.
Yet, despite his return, the player has to go through certain adjustments. The tedious matches in England, plus the high-pressured encounters in the FIFA 2014 World Cup qualifiers, have somehow halted Lee from reaching the apex of his performance.
Nevertheless, the natural-born footballer is not a fan of throwing white towels on the pitch. He continues to be on top of his form despite the difficulties and apparently, such characteristic—such core value and attitude that are readily ingrained within him explain why one of the most challenging responsibilities in squads was given to him. He is meant to be their leader—to walk the talk and set examples that could motivate and propel the squad to further greatness.

Finally, thank you to Mr Kiellerup for all work on the day and in the lead up.
Our Family Groups Program commenced on Monday. The Preps were collected by their buddies and introduced to their Family teacher and Family Group. A highly successful start to a program which builds positive relationships across the school.
A BIG thank you to Barry Phypers who not only has cleaned up our back gate entrance, but has dug out a Beach Volleyball Court for us on the oval. The sand will also serve as a Long Jump and Triple Jump Pit for training for our Athletics program. This has been made
possible due to the generous support of parents who have given voluntary contributions for grounds.
A reminder to parents to flag either Tuesday 8th or Wednesday 9th for Parent Teacher Interviews in your diary.
Congratulations to the students who were selected as our Specialist Captains for 2017; Visual Arts – Evan Mae Haby & Billy Crooks, Performing Arts – Demi Henderson & Edward Kandel and LOTE/Italian – Caelan Rouse & Nia Oram.

Term 1 - week 3
- Prep Parent Morning Tea
- Lockdown Practice
- 3-6 Swimming & House Swimming Sports
- Regional Swimming Team
- Family Groups start next week
- Parent Teacher Interviews
Thank you very much to all the Prep parents who were able to attend the Prep Parent's morning tea after assembly this week. It was a good opportunity for parents to talk with each other and to ask questions of Mr Garner or myself.
The 'Lockdown' policy was practiced at school this week which created an opportunity for staff to reinforce to all students what the procedures are and under what circumstances we might need to put such practices in place. Later in the year we will also practice our Emergency Evacuation procedures, whereby the school would evacuated to the school oval.
The Grade 3-6 swimming program concluded this week. I am very pleased with the high level of participation and the rate of improvement that the students showed over the two weeks. However, I would like to reinforce that swimming is a lifelong skill and the ongoing commitment to developing good swimming techniques needs to continue outside what the school can offer.
I would like to take this opportunity to invite all parents, grandparents and friends along to our House Swimming Sports next Friday 26th February.
This Sunday at the Eureka Swimming Pool we have a large team of 22 students competing in the Regional Swimming Sports. I would like to wish the students all the very best on Sunday and acknowledge their willingness to compete at this level. I would like to thank parents who are supporting the children on the day and in particular our thanks go to Shelley Bowen and Karen Walker who are acting as the swimming team managers on the day.
Our senior students visited the Prep rooms last Friday and worked with their buddy on a 'Buddy Bear' activity. This is in the lead up to the commencement of our Family Groups program which will start next Monday.
An early reminder to parents/carers, that information about our Parent/Teacher interviews will be coming out next week. Please look in your diaries and set aside either Tuesday 8th or Wednesday 9th March for an interview. Interviews will occur between 4.00 – 6.00 and they are between parents/carers and teachers only. Students are not required to this early interview. They will be directly involved in the term 3 interviews.

Term 1 - week 2
- Code Red – Fire Danger Rating
- Extreme Fire Danger Rating days
- School Lockdown – practice next Tuesday
- Positive school environment
- Preps Parent's Morning Tea
- Early Years Picnic – Jubilee Lake
- 3-6 Swimming Program
- Curriculum Documents
As it is the start of the year, I would like to remind our school community that all Victorian schools and early childhood services listed on the Bush-At-Risk-Register (BARR), which includes Daylesford, Yandoit and Drummond schools, are required to pre-emptively close if they are located in a Bureau of Meteorology district where a Code Red Danger Rating day has been determined. We have not had a Code Red Day this season, but if one is announced by BOM, then the school will be closed on that day.
A new policy update for Government schools listed in the Bushfire-At-Risk-Register (BARR), has just been announced by the Emergency Management Commissioner, Craig Lapsley and the Department and Training Secretary, Gill Callister in exceptional circumstances, some government schools may pre-emptively close when an Extreme Fire Danger Rating day is forecast. More information about how this will affect our school community will be forwarded in a parent letter, once I have discussed this change with staff and School Council.
Meanwhile, next Tuesday the school will be practicing a 'Lockdown' procedure, which is a part of our Emergency Management Plan, if an external risk such as a bushfire threatens the school. Lockdown can occur in two stages; stage 1 is return and stay in our classrooms, stage 2 is relocating the whole school to our main building. Next Tuesday we will only be practicing stage 1 of the Lockdown and staff will be discussing with the students what to do in the case of stage 2 being called.
I would like to thank all parents/carers and acknowledge all staff on what has been a most positive start to the 2016 school year. I think this is an excellent team effort, well done everyone.
I would like to stem an invitation to all Prep parents to attend an informal gathering after assembly next Tuesday 16th at 9.30 in the gym. The Prep parent morning tea is to allow Prep parents an opportunity to network with other Prep parents and for parents to ask questions of Mr Garner or myself.
Thank you to all our Early Years parents who were able to attend the EY Picnic at Jubilee Lake on Tuesday night. It was a lovely evening and terrific to catch up and talk with so many parents.
The 3-6 swimming program is going very well. I have put three extra staff in place to support classroom teachers and lower staff:student ratios. A reminder that there will be no swimming next Tuesday 16th due to DSC swimming sports.
Also a reminder to parents that the swimming program levy is now overdue to be paid in full unless you have put a payment plan in place with Deborah our business manager.
Finally, for your convenience and reference I have placed into this newsletter, a copy of our school curriculum in Literacy for P-6. Next week's newsletter will feature our Numeracy curriculum outline.
Peter Burke
Term 1 - week 1
- Welcome back
- Welcome to all our new families
- Welcome to a new staff member
- Vale – previous staff member
- Very Positive start to 2016
- Student Requisites
- 3-6 Swimming Program
Welcome back everyone, I trust you had a lovely break, a delightful Christmas and more recently enjoyed Australia Day Celebrations.
Welcome to all our Preps & new students and their families, I know that the Daylesford PS school community will embrace our new families.
Welcome to Katie Yeung our new staff member, who will be teaching P-2 classes in Performing Arts and taking the Junior Choir. Suzanne Hobson remains with us but in a reduced time fraction.
We were saddened to hear the news that Melissa Ray passed away before the New Year, losing her battle to cancer at the age of 29 years. During her illness we were continually amazed at her bravery and her courage, our hearts go out to her fiancée and her family. Melissa taught MiniLIT and a number of classes over several years at DPS and will be truly missed.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the school community for supporting our staggered start this year. The EY testing program has proven to be highly beneficial, the 1:1 time has enabled staff and students to develop a positive relationship and the extensive works completed by the 3-6 staff on student data has allowed for a very dynamic start, whereby allowing all the staff to know where their students are currently positioned both academically, socially and emotionally.
The school has yet again gone to a great deal of trouble to order, purchase, sort and supply a wide range of student requisites to all our classrooms, thereby replacing booklists which parents would otherwise have to fulfill. All student's have already received some of the these requisites. Statements will be sent out in the near future. We would appreciate payment for this excellent service asap. Please contact Deborah our Business Manager if you would like to orgainse a payment plan. Centre Pay and BPay are available, please contact the office if you are unsure how to utilise these options.
Finally, Grade 3-6 parents will have received a permission form and payment summary for the Swimming Program. Extra staff have been put in place to support this program and we are looking forward to the House Swimming Sports on Friday 26th February.Please ensure that permission forms have been returned by Monday 8th and that full payment has occurred by the end of the first week of the program.

The Coalition of Texans with Disabilities has been a long time friend of mine. Cinema Touching Disability film festival is designed to improve perceptions and dispel common misperceptions that many people hold about disability. The powerful role that cinema plays in American culture makes a film festival ideal for this purpose. Movies, after all, reflect and shape the attitudes that people have about important social issues, including disability.

Time-lapse: Marine Layer Rolling Through Sunshine Skyway Bridge
by Robert Neff
Fog and marine layers are usually associated with San Francisco. However, Tampa Bay also experiences fast moving fog and marine layers — just not as often. However, local weather stations refer to our our marine layer as "Sea Fog'."
On this December day in St. Petersburg, Florida, I passed through the toll booth and headed to Fort DeSoto. The 20 minute drive takes me across the drawbridge, over Boca Ciega Bay and past Tierra Verde.
When I made the turn for Tierra Verde, I noticed a white cloud bank above the tree line. This marine layer originated from the Gulf of Mexico and stretched the horizon. This was rising fast and was beginning to think this would force me to cancel my adventure at Fort DeSoto.
As I was driving, breaks in the tree line revealed the marine layer. The fog was starting to cover Boca Ciega Bay. Just before the drawbridge, there is a small beach. I pulled over and parked on the hard sand next to the water. I grabbed my camera and photographed the approaching marine layer, which was swallowing the sailboats.
This marine layer had just canceled my plans to explore Fort DeSoto. Now, I wondered if the marine layer would be swallowing the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. So I turned around and headed for the bridge, which separates the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay.
My objective was to drive onto the North Fishing Pier to photograph the approaching marine layer from the Gulf side of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. By the time I exited the interstate, the marine layer had already swallowed the main spans and the end of the North Fishing Pier.
I drove under the interstate to the Tampa Bay side of the bridge. This was sunny and clear, and offered a great perspective of the marine layer swallowing the bridge. There is a beach that extends into Tampa Bay and this area is known for world-class windsurfing. This area is also popular for kayaking, fishing, and jet skis. I opted not to go out to the beach, but pulled over onto the access road's shoulder.
The top of the spans were not visible. Cars were illuminating the bridge. I opted to stay and see if the marine layer would eventually dissipate. In the meantime, there was plenty of activity to photograph. There were bait fishermen casting nets, pelicans skimming Tampa Bay, crabs, egrets, a kayak, and the massive cloud formation to the southeast.
Once the top of the southern span started to show, I knew it was a matter of time before both spans would appear. I set up my tripod, took a few shots but continued to shoot the activity; hence, not all the time-lapse photography was taken from the same position.
Once both spans were visible, the marine layer continued to move under the bridge. This created an haunting effect. Very soon the marine layer disappeared and the Sunshine Skyway Bridge was clear — like the marine layer was never there!

The time for several and long family celebrations is approaching, with abundant food and high-fat dishes, where people end up eating and drinking excessively.
Some truck drivers have vacations during these days,replica watches but then they must return to their transportation routines. To do that without your body feeling resentful to the excess food, here are some recommendations to prepare your body for the holiday celebrations.
Adopt a regular rhythm of life
Regulate your sleep, meals, recreation and exercise hours according to your trucker routine. If you give the correct instructions to your body, it will be regulated like a clock, something that will favor you when facing the excess food during the holidays.
Because if your body is healthy, with a lot of energy, well fed with the right vitamins, then these excesses will not have the same effects that they will have on a regular person.
Healthy eating = Good digestion
You do not have to do a strict diet to eat all you want during the holidays but avoid gaining weight. That kind of behavior is not healthy at all. What you should do is know what to eat.
Therefore, when you are on the road, choose healthier meals in the restaurants and bring healthy snacks, fruits and plenty of water with you in the truck. It is recommended to eat a lot of fruit, especially between meals, and drink a lot of water, because the liquid will help you to eliminate correctly the accumulated body residues.
Your body needs iron, so if you choose to eat fish to satisfy this need, it is a good option. It is recommended to eat dishes that contain steamed, boiled, or baked vegetables. Add legumes, such as lentils or beans, to your diet.
Practice sports
Doing physical exercise is basic to help you purify your body; because this type of activity will improve the circulation of blood in your body and will help you eliminate toxins from it through your own sweat and transpiration.
It's advisable to practice some type of physical exercise during about 30 minutes daily. If you have time before going to the road in the morning take the opportunity to practice a physical activity. Or at night, after you parked your truck in a truck stop or at home, because it will help you to relax and to sleep fully.
So truckers, taking care of your body before this holiday season and avoiding excess amount of foods during the celebrations will allow you to go back to work without making your body suffer and start the year on the right foot. Happy Holidays and we wish the best for your family.

The end of 2009
I am especially pumped up today...giddy even. Doing a little happy dance in my head. I heard from two of my college friends last night (who happened to be married - how convenient is that for me?) at around 4:30pm...turns out they are going to be in town tonight on a whim from Atlanta, GA. So..I am having a very last minute new year's party at my house tonight and the adrenaline of it all is just great. Can't wait to catch up with lots of different people tonight and to properly ring in the new year with good friends. Does life get any better that that? (Remember...I'm an optimist so bear with me...everything is the BEST ever!)
Today will likely go by in a quick blur of exctiement and planning. I have an unheard of (in my line of work) three day weekend ahead so it's looking to be a great start to the new year. All of my previous hard work at my real job has paid off and so a long weekend lies ahead. Hopefully I will find time for that new story I keep going on and on about because, well...I'm loving it and it's exciting. I'm trying to tone it down I promise! I'm also debating a quick trip to the slopes as I haven't been snowboarding all year and that seems just plain wrong. So maybe a lot of last minute things happening this weekend. We'll see.
As it's the end of 2009 I do feel the need to do some sort of a list but instead of a look back at 2009 I prefer to look ahead to 2010 and the goals I have for it. 2009 has been a great year but alas, we must bid it farewell! So here's a quick list of my goals for the new year in no special order:
*Finish formatting "The Wolf Within" and send off for reviews before the Feb 25th release date (lots of panic involved with this one as I'm waiting on the publisher and putting it in other people's hands is so not comfortable)
*Complete at a minimum two more books. This involves outlines, first drafts and editing. Alot for me in a year, but with the new motivation I've been feeling, should be no problem.
*The dreaded weight loss goal. I'm setting it for ten pounds because I know fifteen is just too unrealistic and I will only frustrate myself.
*Update my blog to include alot of new gadgets I have fallen in love with on other sites.
*Take more trips with my family and travel. Something we all love but falls through the cracks every year. One must be a mountain trip.
*Do more things for my hubby. He's an amazing, patient man who deserves much better than myself. I need to remember to tell him more often.
*Read more books. With the family life, writing life and working life this goal always suffers. I enjoy it so much I need to do more of it on a regular basis.
I'm sure there are plenty more but that will have to do for now...they are the items most on my mind at the moment. As for 2009, it has truly been a great year and I echo sentiments I have read on other sites: starting a blog and meeting other people, other writer's and artists, has been suprisingly a highlight of my year. I had no idea how having a blogging family would really motivate and inspire me each and every day. But you all do. I feel humbled in your presence and can't wait to see what kind of things you each do in the new year.
Cheers to you all - hope you each have a safe and happy holiday!
I'll see you in 2010...Happy New Year!

I'm with you on the ten pounds...fifteen is likely out of the question. We can do it!!! Right??ReplyDelete
I second that ten pound challenge!ReplyDelete
Hope your party goes wonderfully and that you have a nice long weekend (which will probably fly by, because lets face it... they always do).
Good luck on your writing and upcoming book and my all your dreams come true.
Happy New Year!!!
You're insane! Last minute party and tons of NY's resolutions...Wait, you sound just like me! Happy New Year!ReplyDelete
Great plan Kristi! I hope you had fun on New Year's Eve. :)ReplyDelete
Those sound like pretty attainable goals, I wish you the best of luck in reaching them. I especially like the one about reading more. That seems to be a hard one for me, because there always seems to be so much that I have to leave undone in order to get reading done!ReplyDelete
Thanks everyone for the comments!!!ReplyDelete
Kristin/Kimberly - we can totally do this thing! I feel the motivation...let's just see if it lasts past January!
Michele - glad I'm not alone! Happy New Year to you!!!
Sharon - I hope you had a great one as well!
Moonaroo - the reading goal so far has been the hardest to do for that very reason! Finding the time to do that has truly been a challenge!

Midland ISD recorded mixed results on its 2016-17 federal report card, which was released Friday by the Texas Education Agency.
The district outperformed results from the previous year in 15 of 28 (53.5 percent) categories that measure the percentage of students performing at or above "approached grade level" or what was formerly determined to be the "Level II satisfactory standard."
Results covered grades three through high school and subject areas including math, reading, writing, science and social studies.
MISD seventh-graders failed to outperform results from the previous year in all three of its subject areas. The district also missed in four of five end-of-course measurements. When considering "all grades," Midland ISD outperformed the previous year in 50 percent of the subject areas.
The federal report card showed not only district results but also how Midland ISD performed against Region 18 and state averages. MISD typically outperformed the region in the elementary and junior high categories, while results were more comparable when taking into account performance on end-of-course exams. Region 18 has been reported to be one of the academically worst-performing districts in the state.
Midland ISD did not out-perform the state average in any of the 28 categories. In only one category – eighth-grade math – did MISD tie the state average.
When looking at percentage of students "meeting grade level," MISD outperformed its results from 2016 and 2017 Region 18 on five of six subject areas (all subjects, reading, math, science and social studies). In none of the six – the other subject area being writing -- did the district reach the state standard.
When it came to the percentage of students "mastering grade level," Midland ISD again outperformed its results from 2016 and 2017 Region 18 on five of six subject areas (all subjects, reading, math, science and social studies). In none of the six did the district reach the state standard.
The report card also shows "student achievement" and "state academic annual measurable objectives."
The performance of all students is broken down as is the performance of students by race (African-American, Hispanic, white, American Indian, Asian, Pacific Islander and two or more races). Performance is also measured by economically disadvantaged, ELL and special education students. Those subject areas were reading, math, writing, science and social studies. Across the board, the district met 28 of 47 (59.5 percent) of all measures. That included 40 percent for reading, 90 percent for math, 22 percent for writing, 78 percent for science and 67 percent for social studies. The report card shows special education students didn't meet any standard, African-American and Hispanic students met three of five categories (math, science and social studies), economically disadvantaged students met two of five (math and science), and ELL met one of five (math). The state target on all categories appears to be 60 percent.
None of the student groups tested met the 91 percent federal standard in reading or math, the only areas tested.
The U.S. Department of Education requires each state to publish an annual report card with specific district- and campus-level data.
Every district that receives Title I, Part A funding is responsible for distributing the state-, district- and campus-level report cards to each of its campuses, the parents of all enrolled students and the general public.

The construction involved in oil and gas refining or production includes pipeline infrastructure, refineries, oil and gas derricks, platforms and storage tanks. The construction activity also involves new facilities, repair and maintenance, refurbishment and demolition along with cost type of construction materials, construction equipment and construction services.
TOYO is one of the alliance partners in Exploration & Production (E&P) companies in Japan that offer engineering services for development, planning, construction, operation management, project execution by using secondary and tertiary recovery techniques. All of these are entirely related to the exploration, extraction and production of oil and gas from the major oil and gas fields. TOYO designs and constructs projects involving chemical plants and oil refineries.
The world's largest liquefied natural gas (LNG) importer is Japan and ranks world's fourth in coal imports, net imports of petroleum and other fuels. Japan ranks third in consumption of crude oil and petroleum products. The country lacks of sufficient domestic hydrocarbon resources and has encouraged the oil and natural gas projects construction. The country is the major exporter of energy-sector equipment and has the lowest energy intensities. Japan is investing huge funds in research and development (R&D) of energy technology since 1970s and has substantially increased energy efficiency.
Japan's nuclear power generation covered about 27% of the power generation prior to the 2011 earthquake, and was the least expensive sources of electric power. Japan replaced the loss of nuclear power with generation from imported natural gas, low-sulfur crude oil, fuel oil, and coal. This replacement with expensive fossil fuels led to higher electricity prices, higher government debt, and revenue losses for electric utilities.
According to the report, "Oil and Gas (Construction) in Japan: Market Analytics by Category & Cost Type to 2021", Japan imports almost all its fossil fuels and is spending billions of dollars for fossil fuel imports following the Fukushima accident. Japan's currency depreciation, soaring prices of natural gas and oil imports and sustained high international oil prices are the major factor affecting the Japan's oil and gas construction sector. The government of Japan is planning to resume production of nuclear energy with necessary safety measures. Japan believes that the use of nuclear energy helps to reduce current energy supply and high energy prices faced by the industries. The new energy policy issued by Japan emphasizes on energy security, economic efficiency, emissions reduction, and safe use of nuclear power.
Japan plans to balance the oil and gas sector by strengthening the renewable and alternative energy sources, drifting from oil consumption to advanced and efficient fuel generation technologies. Oil is the largest source of primary energy in Japan but total oil consumption is negligible. This is due to increased energy efficiency and the increased use of other green fuels. Japan depends on imports to meet its oil consumption needs and the government-controlled oil stocks to guard against a supply interruption. Oil demand in Japan has primarily declined due to fuel substitution, declining and aging population, and energy efficiency measures.
Japan has a robust oil sector comprised of various state-run, private, and foreign companies. Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC), a state-run enterprise is responsible for Japanese companies involved in oil and gas exploration and production overseas.
The largest companies are Inpex and Japan Petroleum Exploration Company (Japex). Chevron, BP, Shell, and BHP Billiton are the foreign energy companies involved in providing products and services in Japan. The domestic oil reserves in Japan are available along the western coastline. Most of Japan's domestic oil production is from the country's large petroleum refining sector with limited resources. Chunxiao/Shirakaba and Longjing/Asunaro are the four natural gas fields that are jointly explored and developed by Japan and China due to the territorial claims.
Japan is investing more funds in overseas oil and natural gas operations. Japanese companies are involved in more than 140 oil and gas projects worldwide such as the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Australia. Japanese oil companies involved in exploration and production projects overseas are Inpex, Cosmo Oil, Idemitsu Kosan Company, Japan Energy Development Corporation, Japex, Mitsubishi, Mitsui, Nippon Oil, and others.
Japan's natural gas production has ceased due to the declining natural reserves in the past decade. Japan is using innovative methods to produce hydrocarbons and to discover methane hydrates. However, the costly innovations are sure to delay production plans. The Japanese government implemented carbon abatement policies and pledged to lower greenhouse gas emissions by 26% by 2030.
Japan owns the highest efficiency rate of coal-fired technology in the world. Japan is installing new, clean coal plant technologies, such as ultra-supercritical units or integrated gasification combined-cycle technology, to meet environmental targets and to replace some of the decades-old coal power plants.
Japan has three natural gas-fired power plants with a combined 4.8 GW of capacity under construction and scheduled to start operations by 2020. It is expected that Japan's nuclear reactors will utilize renewable energy resources in the coming years. By the year 2030, LNG is expected to provide for around 27% of Japan's power generation.
An oscillation was observed in the Japanese oil and gas construction market in the past years. The oil and gas infrastructure exports are a pillar to Japan's growth strategy and the oil and gas construction in Japan has witnessed strong technology and innovation. Japan is Asia's most advanced economy and oil demand has declined for many years due to the ageing and declining population, and invention of cars with better mileage or cars using alternative fuels. The use or consumption of liquefied natural gas has started to increase in Japan and the construction of the oil and gas refineries is increasing though at a slow pace and will surely augment the market in the coming years.

Letter of Support for the Activism Class: Claude Haridge

Mr.Gilles Patry, President
Mr.Robert Major, V.P.Academic
Dear Sirs:
I would like to forward this letter initially sent only to Mr. Lalonde commending the University of Ottawa for offering
the SCI 1101 "Activism Course" but also to my disappointment for the expulsion of the two Foster boys because of
their young age. I am hoping that there may be an exemption due to the course material not requiring prerequisites and also
to their active participation in the class.
Thank you both in advance for considering this letter. I would be interested in your comments.

The booth had an inviting back porch feel, and as I was standing at the booth waiting to introduce myself I met his in-laws (I hope I'm right remembering the relationships) who were helping man the booth. Lovely folks giving the Southern Draw company the family feel that is consistent with what I've heard of the company.
