Rey, played by Daisy Ridley, is one of main characters in Star Wars: The Force Awakens - and is arguably this generation's Luke Skywalker.
So why was she not included as a character in a new Star Wars-themed edition of Monopoly?

The game, produced by Hasbro and Disney, features four tokens depicting the characters Finn, Kylo Ren, Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader - leading fans to question why co-lead Rey has been left out.

This isn't the first item of Star Wars merchandise that's come in for such criticism. Fans have been complaining that Rey is being sidelined in favour of male characters, and critics are vocal on Twitter, where the hashtag #WheresRey has been trending in several territories.

In its defence Hasbro said: "The Star Wars: Monopoly game was released in September, months before the movie's release, and Rey was not included to avoid revealing a key plot line that she takes on Kylo Ren and joins the Rebel Alliance .... Additionally, fans will see more Rey product hitting store shelves this month"
Disney has also pledged to address the unmet demand for Rey merchandise. Disney senior vice president Paul Southern said: "Rey and Phasma feature prominently across hundreds of products, and are selling exceptionally well. In many stores and e-commerce destinations, products featuring Rey are selling as quickly as retailers can restock shelves."
"Fans will also be seeing a lot more of Rey with a new wave of product coming in January."

"Children of Siberia"
"An ocean of extermination and inhuman life. To escape out of this whirlpool, the abbys of memories"; On 10th February 1940 repressions by the USSR were undertaken on Polish lands against Poles and Polish citizens. They were a consequence of military aggression and the agreement on borders and German-Soviet friendship of September 1939. Inhabitants of the Polish State were subjected to many years of repression and around 2 million people were exiled into the USSR, 25% of whom were children. The goals of the deportation were extermination of the political and economic elites as well as ethnic cleansings. In the name of the law it was stated that according to the new authorities there were no innocent people among the deported. Because of the destruction caused by the Soviet secret police NKVD, the actual amount of the exiled is hard to estimate. Here are the testimonies of adults who survived the atrocities of exile in their childhood. "This Siberia, one carries within oneself..."
TADEUSZ SZUMOWSKI born on May 25th 1937 in the village of Głębokie, in the Vilnius region. Son of Franciszka and Hieronim. Two siblings. Deported as a three-year-old boy.In August 1946 he returns to Poland with his siblings. "One mother lost a child on the way, so the NKVD soldier took it and threw it through that very hole. The mother stood by that hole during this whole period."

Synaptic Plasticity
|16:00 - 17:00
|Poster / Exhibition(Event Hall B)
Nogo restricts adult neural plasticity by limiting synaptic AMPA receptors delivery
- 実木 亨 / Susumu Jitsuki:1 中島 和希 / Waki Nakajima:1 高橋 琢哉 / Takuya Takahashi:1,2
- 1:横浜市立大学大学院 医学研究科 生理学 / Department of Physiology, Yokohama City University Graduate School of Medicine, Yokohama, Japan 2:アルバートアインシュタイン医科大学 / Department of Neuroscience, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, New York, USA
While experience early in life actively refines neural circuits by virtue of a high capacity for plasticity, experience-dependent plasticity and improvement of function is prominently limited in adult brain. However, the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying how experience-driven neural plasticity is restricted in adult brain remain poorly understood. Removal of the myelin-inhibiting signaling protein, Nogo receptor (NgR1), restores adult neural plasticity. Here we found that, in NgR1-deficient mice, whisker experience-driven synaptic AMPA receptor (AMPAR) insertion in the barrel cortex, normally complete by 2 weeks after birth, lasts into adulthood, leading to a sharpened whisker-barrel map. In vivo live imaging by two-photon microscope revealed more AMPAR on the surface of spines in the adult barrel cortex of NgR1-deficient than wild-type mice. Further, we found that whisker stimulation produced new spines in the adult barrel cortex of mutant but not of wild-type mice, and the newly synthesized spines contained more surface AMPAR than did the existing spines in mutant mice. These results suggest that Nogo signaling limits plasticity by restricting synaptic AMPAR delivery in coordination with anatomical plasticity.

Snakes are awfully quick on a 40 degree day
Catching snakes is a dangerous enough job. Throw in a 40 degree summer day in the heat of the Adelaide hills and you end up with supercharged brown snakes that can move as quick as a flash.
Ange from Snake Catchers Adelaide, despite almost being bitten by the deadly brown snake, makes light work of chasing the warm blooded brown from the garden of this Adelaide home and into the safety of a snake bag before relocation to a more suitable bushland reserve.

We are on the downhill slide of the year. One more day. And I still don't know what I'm going to be doing next year! My evaluator hasn't darkened my door in over a month (and that wasn't for an evaluation but a discipline problem) but I did make evaluating me easier than gravity. I gave her a CD of some video I shot doing some teaching and included my data sheet/lesson plan with it. I knew we were going to be crushed at the end and thought she could use that in a pinch. So we'll see.
What I do know, is that 1/4 of our faculty is departing this year, and one third of those will be from the special education department. It is going to be hideously hard to fill those vacancies, with mine being the absolute hardest to fill. Let's face it; people are not beating my door down trying to get in. They might try to keep me in this room for another year, which would be stressful but I would do it with the understanding that this would be my last year at this high school. I won't be screwed over twice. This state of limbo makes it hard to prepare for summer inservice classes as they are offering several co-teaching classes but they want the co-teachers to take the class together. That's a bit difficult when a large number of those who will be doing the co-teaching are not even hired yet!
So why the big turn-over? For one thing, our principal is leaving. The new principal will be principal #4 for me. Administrators come and go. If you don't like the one you got, wait a few years and you'll get a new one. If you like the one you have, enjoy it because the wind will shift directions pretty soon. Fightin' Joe was an assistant for a few years before taking the head job, and while he was an AP we saw quite a bit of him in my room and with my kids. He even played the role of Santa Clause during a Christmas party we had one year. I know – totally not age appropriate! Once he became the head guy, we rarely ever saw him. And really, that is absolutely fine with me. I know he had bigger fish to fry with AYP (which we made most years he was principal) and while I appreciate any time an administrator spends with us, no news is mostly good news. Administrators traditionally have to spend most of their time putting out fires and the fact that we've had relatively few has been a relief to us all.
Another reason we might be seeing higher turnover might have something to do with this Washington Post article. My previous article touched on that theme a bit, and I agree with Steven Rothman that somehow parents are micromanaging their schools to death. My take on it is that parents want to hold the schools responsible for raising their children, and when teachers and schools fail to raise the children (as they most certainly will) parents get upset. They are less concerned about the education their children receive as much as they are about making excuses for their child's behavior or lack of progress. We live in an age where people can take charge of their own education and learning and yet precious few are actually doing that. They want others to hold their hands and babysit and nag them.
The answer to this is not going to come from us as educators. It has to come from us as parents. I am totally in favor of parents banding together, sharing resources, ideas or even complaining about us as teachers. But too often, these groups become gripe festivals that incite parents to go after the schools in order to demand more and more while offering very little. The autism groups are probably the most notorious offenders of all. I can tell when I have a parent that is being coached by a real life or online group. The adversarial relationship is there from the start, and parents are braced for battle. It's one thing if the school or teacher has earned it by failing to educate as they are supposed to. But parents will too often wait until the IEP to air every complaint, and instead of an hour-long meeting, we end up there all day. Working things out ahead of time, instead of springing all the demands at once can salvage a lot of good will. Teachers should do this as well, sharing information on a regular basis. As educators, we can minimize a lot of the micromanagement by practicing a certain degree of transparency in what we are doing.
But in the end, it is up to parents to establish the prevailing culture of their neighborhoods and communities. I'm sure many of you know of children in your neighborhood running wild, making a nuisance of themselves, staying out entirely too late on school nights and basically not behaving in a responsible manner. And the parents let them. But I know that the neighbors can have more influence in the form of peer pressure. Peer pressure doesn't end with high school. In the case of kids with disabilities, you might know of parents who seem to cultivate dependence by doing everything for the child except chew his food for him. Most kids can put on their own coats, use the toilet and eat with a spoon before they go to kindergarten. And yet there's a group of parents who expect the schools to train the special needs kids to do these things. How do other kids learn this stuff without schools and teachers? This is why the school and parents need to be part of a cooperative partnership.
I'm sure I've spouted on long enough on this theme. Later this summer, my family and I will be going on a real vacation and seeing and learning about different areas of the country. It's going to be better than whatever the school system can offer, but I don't feel the need to force the public system to provide those kinds of educational experiences and opportunities. We're doing it as parents, and that's as it should be.

Ruggish is a line of double-sided play mats with a side for you and one for your kids! Invented by an interior designer-slash-mom in 2017, Liza Savary needed a better option than typical play mats with primary colors or other types of flimsy foam tiles. While living in her small city apartment, her son's nursery was also her home office and a guest room, which she needed to easily go back-and-forth from. She took matters into her own hands and invented Ruggish!
One side is a stylish print for when you're in office or guest bedroom mode, and the other side is an adorable street track for your kids to play on. They come in 5 stylish options complete with neutral colors to match any home and to take away your brightly colored children's product headache!
Ruggish is safe, non-toxic and one of the only products on the market that has been certified by both United States and European Toy Safety Standards. It's a durable investment – you won't have to buy them over and over again like with other play mat options. Your little one can tumble, drive trains, spill a drink, and still leave your blood pressure where it should be. You can even get in a nap or some yoga!
"I absolutely love our Ruggish! Jake can easily play and I feel safe as a mother that he can crawl around as he pleases. If he loses his balance, it's so plush and padded, it puts my mind at ease. It also helps that when he's not playing on it, I can flip it over and use it as a decorative rug for my home " – Jessica, Mom of Sophie & Jake

Union will appeal court ruling on mandate that police live in Pittsburgh
The union representing Pittsburgh police officers says it will take its fight over the city's residency requirement for police to Pennsylvania's supreme court.
The president of the police union local believes officers should have the option of living wherever they may have family ties, access to more affordable homes or access to schools they feel are a better match for their children's needs.
"Just the idea of being able to live wherever you want, as a citizen of the United States. A lot of people take issue with that (being denied)," said Officer Howard McQuillan, local president of the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP).

NOW Poll: Should city employees be required to live within Pittsburgh city limits? Vote here
Supporters of the residency requirement believe it creates better, stronger ties between officers and their fellow Pittsburghers.
"By living in the city, I think you show the community that you're bound and sworn to protect and serve, that you've thrown your lot in with us," said Richard Swartz, longtime community advocate and executive director of Bloomfield Garfield Corp. "That not only do you care about what happens to the city from a professional standpoint, you also care from a personal standpoint."
The union president believes officers' commitment runs deep.
"Being a police officer is a calling to begin with. It's not just a job that you come in for eight hours and you leave. It's something that you put the uniform, the badge on," McQuillan said.
Others maintain police-community relations benefit from contact through officers living in the city.
"It's very good for officers to know the residents and have these informal contacts with them at the grocery store, in the bakery, for our kids to go to school together. It's good for us to have those relationships," said Rev. Ricky Burgess, the Pittsburgh councilman who sponsored a referendum in support of the policy. It was overwhelmingly approved by voters who incorporated the policy into Pittsburgh's city charter. "We stand together. Eighty percent of city residents agree that city workers should live in the city of Pittsburgh," Burgess said.
"We spend more time in the communities by working here with the community than we probably do with most of our family. And that alone creates the good ties that you have," McQuillan said. "When you need to have a police officer and you're calling 911, I don't think you're really going to care where they're from, as long as they get there and they're professional about what they do."
"The best way to improve public safety is to improve community confidence. And to have the officers live and work among the residents is a great way for them to improve community confidence," Burgess said.
McQuillan said dropping the residency requirement will help the city by providing a larger field of potential recruits.
"It's becoming more difficult to have larger pools of qualified candidates coming to take our tests," he said. The union local president said dropping the requirement could also help the city retain hundreds of officers who will be eligible for retirement this year.
"It will help us retain officers, more senior officers, and it will help us recruit more officers," McQuillan said. "We have 340 retiree-eligible members that can leave any minute now. Just last year, we had over 50 retirees. This is definitely going to be an issue for them, to reconsider whether they're going to stay with the city for a couple of more years, or if they'll just retire and move out."
The requirement that Pittsburgh police officers must live within city limits was restored Thursday by a divided Pennsylvania appeals court.
Commonwealth Court ruled 4-3 that an arbitration panel shouldn't have inserted a clause into the police union contract that lets officers live within 25 miles of the downtown City-County Building.
Mayor Bill Peduto praised the decision to restore the long-standing residency requirement that voters overwhelmingly incorporated into Pittsburgh's Home Rule Charter in 2013.
Peduto said the court's decision "marks an important reaffirmation of the rights of Pittsburgh and other local governments statewide to rule themselves, and do what they deem to be best for their residents."

NFL Expert Picks Against the Spread: New York Giants at San Francisco 49ers
In this writer's humble opinion, the games matching the marquee teams each week aren't always the most interesting ones. For example, the two best matchups on paper this week if you go by the caliber of the franchises would be Patriots at Broncos and Cowboys at Falcons. But it gets tiring previewing New England and Dallas every other week - and there will be plenty of time for that going forward, including likely the playoffs.
No, in my mind clearly the most intriguing game of Week 10 is the New York Giants at the San Francisco 49ers, the NFC's Toilet Bowl of 2017 and probably the worst matchup we will see record-wise overall because the 49ers and Browns don't play.
Needless to say, this has squat to do with the playoffs as these clubs are going to finish last in their respective divisions, which at least means they get a last-place schedule in 2018. It definitely will have big-time draft implications as the Niners (0-9) would currently pick first in 2018, Cleveland (0-8) second and the Giants (1-7) third. The loser Sunday could be a big winner.
I also believe this game could determine whether Ben McAdoo and GM Jerry Reese will return next year for the Giants - if their fate hasn't already been decided. Oh, and maybe Eli Manning's future too.
Giants at 49ers Betting Story Lines
If the Giants weren't such a stable organization without a history of canning coaches midseason, I'd be totally shocked that McAdoo wasn't fired last Sunday night following his team's embarrassing 51-17 home loss to the Rams. You really can't be losing like that regardless, but definitely not coming out of your bye week as New York was (to be fair, so was L.A.). That game showed how much good coaching can change things as L.A.'s Sean McVay looks like the next Bill Walsh at just 31 and McAdoo a giant dufus. It was the most points allowed by the Giants at home since the end of the 1964 season.
Oh, it gets better. The Giants allowed Robert Woods to go nearly untouched on a 52-yard TD screen pass when the Rams were on third-and-33. New York had three turnovers and a punt blocked. About the only bright spot was Manning becoming the seventh NFL QB to reach 50,000 career yards. Eli has been a big talking point this week as McAdoo wouldn't rule out benching the two-time Super Bowl winner if things don't improve. Manning hasn't missed a start since 2004 and is signed through 2019.
The Giants can't really cut him loose this offseason for cap reasons (well, it would be tough - you hear some rumblings of a potential trade to the Jaguars, whose front office is now being run by former Giants coach Tom Coughlin) but easily could before '19. Bovada hasn't released its weekly specials yet, but I'm sure there will be one on Eli's future. It might be prudent to see what the Giants have in 2017 third-round pick Davis Webb at some point - and help determine whether to select a QB high next year. New York could also use a running back in the worst way, so Saquon Barkley surely would be consideration too. The last time the Giants had a Top 5 pick was in 2004 when they got Manning (but actually drafted Philip Rivers).
San Francisco likely has its QB of the future with last week's stunning trade for Patriots backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo even though he can become an unrestricted free agent after this season. Just don't expect to see Jimmy G this Sunday. The Niners are treating him with kid gloves and have a complex offensive system. They want him fluent in that - and the offensive line in full health -- before taking the field.
As of now, Kyle Shanahan is starting rookie C.J. Beathard this week again and replacing him only in the event of an injury. The team doesn't have a third QB on the roster, so if Beathard were to get hurt then Garoppolo would have to play. One report was that the team was hoping to sign Garoppolo to a long-term deal before he saw the field. Then again, I'm sure Jimmy G's agent wants him to hit the market or at least land the franchise tag. As for Beathard, he's completing just 50.9 percent of his passes with two scores, four picks and a rating of 62.7. The team has scored exactly 10 points in three straight games and ranks 29th in scoring at 15.9 ppg. The receiving group is terrible in the wake of Pierre Garcon's season-ending injury.
Giants at 49ers Betting Odds and Trends
At 5Dimes this game is a pick'em with a total of 42 . New York is a slight -120 moneyline favorite. On the alternate lines, the Giants are -1 (-110) and -1.5 (-105). New York is 3-5 against the spread (3-1 on road) and 4-4 "over/under" (2-2 on road). San Francisco is 4-5 ATS (1-3 at home) and 4-5 O/U (2-2 at home).
The Giants are 5-0 ATS in their past five road games vs. teams with a losing home record. They are 5-2-1 ATS in their past eight after an ATS loss. The 49ers are 7-16 ATS in their past 23 vs. teams with a losing record. They are 2-9 ATS in their past 11 at home. The under is 7-2 in the Giants' past nine following an ATS loss. It's 13-4 in San Francisco's previous 17 in November.
Giants at 49ers Betting Prediction
New York has won three of the past four in this series, last 30-27 at home in Week 5 of the 2015 season. Manning had a huge game, completing 41 of 54 for 441 yards and three scores, including the winner to Larry Donnell from 12 yards out with 21 seconds to play. Colin Kaepernick was the 49ers' QB that day.
This is by far the Niners' best chance to avoid a winless season - maybe they can win Week 13 in Chicago or Week 17 at the Rams if L.A. has nothing to play for by then. I simply can't trust Beathard, though. If the Giants had benched Manning for Geno Smith or Webb, then maybe. Take New York and the under.

Foreign workers' average pay below lowest of locals'
From the Korea Herald.
Of course the bulk of foreign workers in Korea are the factory workers typically from southeast Asian countries while English teachers, professionals, and business owners make up the rest of the foreign population.
This is kind of scary:
The average annual salary of the group was 13.17 million won in 2008, 1.43 million won less than that of the lowest 10 percent local workers. Foreign workers in 2008 earned 2.9 percent less on average than they did in 2007.
Can't even imagine how one survives on that and still manages to send money back home every month. I think that English teachers would fall under the realm of the average salary for foreigners in Seoul (offer course inclusive of rent-free housing):
Foreigners in Seoul earned the highest annual salary with 33.37 million won on average in 2008, which stood close to the average annual pay of local workers, 38.2 million won.
2 Responses
I wouldn't be so quick to say "less skill". I have some medical school and will have a pharmacy doctorate soon, in addition to several undergraduate awards. It's just English teaching can be fun before one starts their career. Additionally, one must take into account many of these foreign workers are from South East Asia doing God knows what. I was surprised to see Seoul workers so high in income. I wonder if this is per capita or the mean?

Enda Curran the saviour as Longford Town snatch draw against Athlone
SSE Airtricity League First Division - Round 17
Kealan Dillon pictured in action for Longford Town against Athlone in the Airtricity League First Division clash at the Athlone Town Stadium on Friday evening. Photo: Syl Healy
Enda Curran was the Longford Town saviour in scoring the late equalising goal that earned his side a draw against Athlone in the midlands derby on Friday evening, a result that extends the current unbeaten run to four games under the guidance of caretaker manager Gary Cronin.
Athlone Town . . . 2 Longford Town . . . 2
The home side, with Roddy Collins back in charge, looked all set to beat their neighbouring rivals for the first time this season but there was late drama in the Airtricity League First Division clash at the Athlone Town Stadium as Curran finished the ball to the net in the 88th minute after connecting with a Cody Mulhall pass.
Longford almost snatched a winner in the 90th minute when Dean Zambra's effort was first saved by Athlone netminder Igor Labuts and while the breaking ball came back to Zambra, he was again denied by Labuts who came to Athlone's rescue with a vital stop to make sure his side emerged with a point.
ATHLONE TOWN: Igor Labuts; Niall Scullion, Cormac Raftery, Kirils Grigorovs, David Brookes; Dragog Sfrijan, Ethan Keogh, Colm Cross, Jason Lyons; Ryan Gaffey, Conor Barry.
Subs:- Peter Walsh for Grigorovs (53 mins); Sean McGrane for Gaffey (69 mins), Kevin Fitzgerald for Barry (79 mins).
LONGFORD TOWN: Paul Skinner; Aidan Friel, Noel Haverty, Stephen Walsh, Tristan Noack-Hofmann; Dylan McGlade, Kevin O'Connor, Dean Zambra, Kealan Dillon; Jake Kelly, Karl Chambers.
Subs:- Don Cowan for Dillon (65 mins); Enda Curran for Chambers (75 mins); Cody Mulhall for Friel (80 mins).
Referee: John McLoughlin (Athlone).

TL Standard 12
When looking at standard 12, teachers are asked to evaluate and use technology for teaching and learning. After taking EDTC 6433 I feel like technology is not nearly as intimidating as I made it out to be. Walking into this class in the beginning of the quarter I was nervous, and intimidated. I have always felt that I am pretty tech savvy with the items that I use outside of my classroom, but when it came time to implement technology into my classroom, I didn't know where to start. During the first class session we spoke about our final project and took a NETS self-assessment to see what areas we could use improvement. After leaving class the first day I have to a say that I was pretty skeptical. Reading over the NETS and taking that self-assessment truly felt like I was trying to (and not succeeding) read a different language. The self-assessment showed me that I truly had a lot of room for growth in all areas. I teach kindergarten, I have 22 five year olds who are just learning the letters of the alphabet and learning how to read and write. My original outlook was, what in the world could I possibly take from this class and make applicable in my room? "These projects and NETS don't really apply to me". I am proud to say, that I was so very wrong! Whether I am teaching 5 year olds or seniors, teaching technology is possible and very doable at any age! My overall technology goal was to focus on NETS-S 2: Communication and Collaboration and NETS-T 1: Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity. I would improve technology integration in my classroom by using Haiku as a space to allow my students to share their animal research projects in June. Students would use our classroom Haiku page to demonstrate their research and use of PebbleGo and a voice recording system to create their project. Although I knew this project would take several months to implement, I feel I was effective in setting my students up for success on this project. I spent a lot of time teaching my students about the basics of using netbooks. I worked hard teaching my students how to log on, how to navigate to their sites, how to adjust volume, use headphones and how to log off. I also did a lot of preloading with my students on how to research using graphic organizers and using the basics of PebbleGo. I learned so much about how to introduce complicated technology skills so early in the year with kindergarteners. You can see my Final Summary Project and what my students were able to accomplish! My biggest takeaway from this class is twofold. One is how many technology tools and resources can be modified and used with my kindergarteners in class. The second biggest takeaway is the capability of my kindergarteners using technology, especially so early in the year. With enough practice and careful teaching my students were able to meet extremely high expectations that I set!
One component of this class I feel I grew the most in was digital citizenship. Before this class I didn't know much about digital citizenship or what it even looked like in primary grades. The words Digital Citizenship hold a lot of meaning, but what does it look like in a classroom? After class discussion and research, to me, digital citizenship is communication, appropriate use, research, collaboration, and any type of interaction online. My professor, Richard Snyder, did a wonderful job of breaking down such a large term into 4 major focus points. In his PowerPoint Snyder shared, "Big Points of Digital Citizenship are: 1. Respect for copyright and intellectual property. 2. Access to appropriate tools and resources. 3. Digital etiquette and 4. Global awareness (slide 11)." After looking into what the words meant, as any teacher would, I wanted to know what that would look like in my own classroom. Being a kindergarten teacher, some of these big points of digital citizenship seemed a little intimidating and far-fetched for my 5 year olds. I was excited to dive in and see what was available and applicable for my classroom.
There are two ways I would like to support and promote digital citizenship in my classroom. One of my goals this year is to teach digital citizenship to my students by showing them how to access appropriate resources online. I would like to use PebbleGo in my reading and writing workshop to allow for my students to pull information on multiple topics from a source other than a book. Students in all grade levels are no longer asked to complete a project using only pen and paper or from a book in the library. Technology has now become incorporated into everything we do. I especially look forward to using this tool during my nonfiction lessons in reading and writing workshop. This will allow my students to pull information from a research database as well as several text to supplement their nonfiction writing project. How wonderful will it be for me to help my students get a head start on how to properly access the correct resources to help them be successful?
My second goal for teaching digital citizenship in my classroom is to give a number of very generalized lessons on how to live in a digital world. What that means, looks like, and the importance of that, through their eyes. After researching online, I found several websites that had great free lessons on teaching digital citizenship to kindergartners. In all of the lessons I found, they all basically covered the same important parts/issues. Those teach points were:
- Computers are used for several different purposes and to visit faraway places that help us learn new things.
- Safety using the internet. The idea that, staying safe online is very similar to staying safe in the real world. Right vs. wrong decisions. Connecting this issue to what they have been told many times by parents and teachers, don't interact or give personal information with someone you do not know, etc.
- How to safely navigate on the internet. How do you avoid problems? How do you know what is safe vs. harmful?
I feel that teaching these skills listed above to my class is very doable as well as age appropriate goals. Digital Citizenship doesn't have to be an intimidating phrase. With all of the smart work that others have already done on this topic, all it takes is a little research and pulling from your resources to create age appropriate lessons for your students. Oh wait! Using appropriate tools and resources!? Sounds familiar! Like the we watched, digital citizenship is everywhere!!!
During this class, I learned about several different programs that have been extremely useful and helpful in my classroom! A part of this course that I enjoyed was the fact that majority of the programs we got to learn about and use in class are all able to be scaled down to use at different grade levels. I also feel that I gained a wonderful foundation of resources and tools for my future years of teaching. Not only did I find new programs and technologies that I am able to use with my students, I learned about new technologies that will benefit me in my journey for my graduate degree! I look forward to seeing how I can continue to use these programs with my students and in the future as well!

QUETTA: A grand jirga comprising political parties, intellectuals and tribal elders unanimously demanded that Balochistan's representation be doubled in the National Assembly as the province's population has also increased two-fold.
The demand was made in a meeting held at the Sarawan House in Quetta under the chairmanship of Nawabzada Lashkari Raisani, a former minister and Senator.
The citizens' Jirga said that the population of Balochistan had doubled in the recent census and thus its National Assembly seats should also be doubled from 17 to 34.
Jirga orders expulsion, boycott of cooks for raising rates
Addressing a news conference at the Quetta Press Club, Raisani said, "We accepted the census results and are fully satisfied with it."
He also defended the decision of the citizens' Jirga in demanding inclusion of displaced persons in the census so that the strategic issue of demography could not be hampered. He said our concerns and reservations proved correct and we have justifiably demanded the exclusion of all foreign nationals or illegal immigrants from the census as they are not Pakistanis.
The former minister said that population per NA seat had been fixed 780,000 and with this formula, Balochistan will get 3 additional seats. He argued that Balochistan's territorial limits, including its territorial waters, form 60 per cent of the landmass of Pakistan. The population is dispersed and scattered in the huge territory.
Some of the constituencies, particularly in Quetta, Chagai, Washuk, Kharan and Panjgur comprise 70,000 square kilometers making it impossible for the candidate to cover the entire constituency, he deplored.
Sami-led jirga demands FATA merger with K-P
He demanded re-demarcation of constituency on the basis of international standards, keeping the cultural diversities and ethnic affiliation in mind so that the constituencies are rational from all angles.
Raisani added that the huge landmass of Balochistan should be taken into consideration while the National Assembly seats are demarcated. He demanded that each NA constituency should cover only half a million population in Balochistan.

June 18 (Reuters) - Smithfield Foods Inc.'s Tar Heel, North Carolina pork packing plant, the world's largest, remained closed on Wednesday after a water tank collapsed and caused an ammonia leak a day earlier, the company said.
"It is a matter of getting power restored, a big part of the problem is that the water tank that ruptured actually knocked out our transformers," said Dennis Pittman, a company spokesman.
It is likely the Tar Heel plant, which has a daily slaughter capacity of about 34,000 hogs, could resume operations by the second shift on Thursday, he said.
"There is extensive electrical work that has to be done outside of the plant but that will not effect it running," he added.
There was some pork damaged after the accident due to loss of power, Pittman said, but he did not provide details on how much product was discarded. Part of the plant's refrigeration remained operational with the use of a generator.
After an evacuation, about 10 workers were transported to the hospital on Tuesday and as of Tuesday evening two were being kept under observation, Pittman said.
Smithfield Foods, Inc., the world's largest pork producer and processor, is a wholly independent subsidiary of China's WH Group.

In his quasi-campaign last year against insignificant opposition, U.S. Sen. Bob Corker declared himself independent-minded, willing to work with Democrats and "more optimistic than I've ever been" about Washington folks achieving a sensible, post-election solution to the nation's fiscal problems.
At this point, it seems the senator may be guilty of over-optimism, but certainly not for any lack of personal political independence from the Washington Republican mindset and a willingness to work on changing the Washington Democratic mindset.
He has become, unquestionably, the most raging moderate of Tennessee's congressional Republicans and, arguably, could outdo all GOP officeholders in the state in that department. Just consider a few examples in the past couple of weeks or so.
When President Barack Obama visited Chattanooga, fellow moderate Gov. Bill Haslam diplomatically scheduled events elsewhere and proclaimed that a conflict prevented his attendance. Fellow moderate Sen. Lamar Alexander — who seems far more fearful of a challenger from the party's right wing to his 2014 re-election than Corker was in 2012 — joined the state's U.S. House Republicans in avoiding any inkling of an indication of civility toward the epitome of liberal evil, boycotting the event and hurling insults from the sidelines through PR people. They didn't bother with excuses.
Heck, the state GOP even showed it has money to burn by paying for TV ads in the Chattanooga area bashing Obama and his "liberal policies." Obama-bashing is very fashionable among politically correct conservative (PCC) officeholders, as the president more or less acknowledged in a minor departure from his scripted text in Chattanooga: "I know that the politics for Obama aren't always great in Tennessee."
But what did Corker do? Why, he publicly declared that he really had wanted to be there with the president, telling the city's daily newspaper that he toyed with the idea up to the last minute and having his PR people issue a statement that said he "hated" missing the event. Hands down the most moderate and civil performance among our red state Republicans.
And then, in the same week, he appeared on MSNBC — not exactly the favorite Republican media place to be — and insulted the Washington GOP mindset movement of the moment, defunding Obamacare.
The premise is to vote against any of the gridlock-bypassing, stopgap spending bills that include funding for the loathsome federal health care law.
"I think it's a silly effort, and what people are really saying who are behind that effort is, 'We don't have the courage to roll up our sleeves and deal with real deficit reduction and spending decisions.' … I don't look at that as very courageous."
Yes, of course, Corker has denounced Obamacare and voted against it. But here, again, we find Bold Bob standing against the PCC position, instead of just ignoring it as Alexander, Haslam and the like will do, and putting himself at odds with the state's GOP House delegation members who, fearful of a primary challenge, will eagerly co-sponsor anything that can be perceived as attacking Obamacare. Yes, folks, he is a raging moderate.
There are other examples, but perhaps the most telling instance of Bold Bob's recent raging comes from Roll Call, the Washington political publication, in its report that Corker — in closed-door meeting of Republican senators — loudly shouted an expletive euphemism for disbelief in response to remarks made by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. It's a word all country folk Tennesseans have heard, abbreviated BS. In polite terms, it's the equivalent of baloney spreading. In impolite, or impolitic, terms it refers to manure from a male member of the bovine genus.
Yours truly engaged in an email exchange with a Corker PR person about the accuracy of this, and the evasive response was basically a refusal to confirm or deny — which I take as a confirmation. Understandable, perhaps. There is a limit to boldness in public versus a supposedly private session with the most powerful of the Washington mindset.
But from faraway, there sure does seem to be a lot of baloney spreading afoot in our nation's capitol — certainly including some spread by our president in his three-hour splashdown in our fair state. And it's darn refreshing for us cynics to see someone note that on a bipartisan basis.

A Turkey dish is a must for the dinner whether it is Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year celebration. There is nothing that can beat the taste of dishes made with wild Turkey breast. With wild Turkey breast recipes, you can leave an overwhelming impression of your cooking skills and the magic in your hand on the guests that come home for the celebration. Starting from stuffed wild Turkey breast dish to poached and glazed wild Turkey breast, there are a lot of possibilities to make your taste buds explode with different dishes. The followings are two most popular wild Turkey breast recipes.
- Stuffed Wild Turkey Breast Recipe
Ingredients –
¼ cup of chopped mushroom and chopped parsley each, ½ cup of grated cheese, artichoke hearts, and freshly ground pepper each, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1 pound turkey breast, olive oil in a small bowl and twines.
Preparation –
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. In the meantime, put the mushrooms, artichokes, cheese, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper in the food processor and let them blend well.
- You need to butterfly the turkey breast and keep it to ¼-inch thick. In the end, you should end up with a rectangle of dimension 10×6.
- On the pounded turkey, you need to put the artichoke mixture. Make sure you leave an inch from the edges. Then you have to roll it from your side and make it into a tight cylindrical shape. At last, truss the breast with twine.
- It is time to coat the turkey in olive oil and add some salt and pepper as per your preference. Then place the turkey on the hot skillet and make it brown from all sides.
- Finally, bake the turkey in the oven and bake it for half an hour. Once done, transfer it on a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes. Then remove the twine and slice and serve for dinner.
2. Glazed Wild Turkey Breast Recipe
Ingredients –
1 Turkey breast with skin on and brined, 4 tbsp butter, 3 tbsp honey, 6 tbsp whiskey, 2tbsp orange juice, 1 tbsp grated orange rind, ½ teaspoon cayenne, 1 cup turkey stock, salt and pepper, and foil.
Preparation –
- First of all, you need to preheat the oven to 325 degrees. In a skillet or Dutch oven, heat two tablespoons of butter until it begins to bubble. Then sprinkle salt and pepper on the Turkey breast.
- Then put it on the skillet with the skin facing the butter. Let the skin become brown for 5 minutes. Now sprinkle salt and pepper on the other side and turn it over. Add the Turkey stock and cover it with a lid and transfer to the oven.
- Again, in the skillet, add 4 tablespoons of butter and let them melt over medium heat. Add the honey and stir once. Then keep on adding whiskey and orange juice, orange rind and cayenne and whisk them all. Put them on low heat and let them become half the volume with time. Once done, turn off the heat.
- By now, the turkey has cooked for at least 10 minutes. Brush with glaze and cover with foil. After 20 minutes, brush the remaining glaze and leave off the foil and set the temperature to 400 degrees. Let it cook for 20 minutes or as long as the internal temperature reaches 150 degrees.
- Finally, remove the turkey from the oven and cover with foil and wait for 10 minutes before slicing and serving your family members and guests.
You can always improvise with side dishes and seasoning and different spices to add your own touch to these dishes.

Millions of Americans enjoy arts performances. That was evident from the number of performing arts centers built in the last decade, the boom in theater companies and the alarm when a symphony or dance group encounters financial distress.
But new data from the researchers at the National Endowment for the Arts dug a little deeper into those habits. Primarily, a good number of the 1.5 million Americans who go to arts performances on an given day bring someone along. Less than 7 percent go alone – 41 percent have a companion and 54 percent bring a family member. They usually spend 2.7 hours at the event.
The visits and spending are supporting a sizeable industry. Using numbers from a census report, the NEA described the performing arts industry as a robust one, using data collected in 2007 right before the economic downturn, with nearly 8, 840 organizations with 127, 648 paid workers, generating nearly $13.6 billion in annual revenues.
The report showed how tightly the nonprofit sector of the larger pool operates with $5.6 billion in revenue and $5.2 billion in expenses. Theater and opera companies are the biggest earners and spenders. In 2007 theaters, including dinner theaters and opera companies, employed the majority of the workers.

A key concept in medical image analysis is the idea of a mean template, i.e., a statistical average around which deviations can be assessed. In the context of white matter fiber analysis, we seek to represent an anatomically defined fiber bundle with a mean and variance that describes its essential characteristics. This mean is of interest for practical reasons that go beyond atlas construction. From my hard-won experience working with DTI fibers, these are 3 reasons we need to compute means:
1.There are a large number of fibers involved in white matter fiber analysis. The corpus callosum has over 300 million fibers alone, the whole brain, 100 billion! fibers--source: Mori's atlas. The tractography output which is some fraction of this can still be several thousand fibers. Due to this large volume, a practical first step in any study, and one that is advocated by me, is to compute a representative mean of a fiber bundle.
2. The tractography output is subject to error. Noise, imperfections in the image and the presence of regions of low anisotropy due to fiber crossings all contribute to this.
In order to make the streamline output more robust we can average over the fiber bundle. This strategy is also useful when a representative bundle is sought and there are discontinuities and other fiber damage due to disease.
3. To facilitate statistical analysis for population studies where the underlying problem is one of assigning membership to a group.
Means may be computed for the following situations:
i)for a group of fibers within a fiber bundle
ii) for an intra- or inter-subject collection of fibers from many bundles
iii)for an intra- or inter-subject collection of means of fiber bundles
The computation of statistical summaries is usually part of any framework for white matter
fiber analysis. Some of these frameworks are listed in my previous post on Mathematical frameworks.

Yoga is a great form of working out, especially if you don't like going to the gym! There are a bunch of fat burning yoga poses that you could do from the comfort of your own home and benefit from them in so many more ways than just weight loss.
In fact, the benefits of doing yoga are pretty incredible. In case you didn't know, yoga helps with:
- Stress relief
- Back pain
- Posture
- Relieving anxiety
- Reducing inflammation
- Flexibility
- Improving heart health
- Improving quality of life
- Better sleep

- And so much more.
As you can see, the benefits of yoga are absolutely endless. So, if you haven't tried it before, there's is really no reason not to! Here are 5 fat burning yoga poses that will help you in your weight loss journey – and so much more!
10 Fat Burning Yoga Poses For Weight Loss:
1. Warrior III
We love this yoga pose because it not only helps you burn fat, but it also strengthens your back, shoulders, hamstrings, calves, and ankles! Not to mention, it's really great for improving posture and balance. Here's how to do it.
Start standing straight with your feet hip distance apart and your arms at your sides. Reach your arms up overhead and begin to extend your right leg straight back, while shifting your weight in your left foot. Keep your core tight, gaze down, and make sure your arms and right leg form a straight line parallel to the floor. Hold this pose for 5 – 10 breaths.
If you are more advanced in yoga, you could come into the Warrior III pose from the Warrior I pose.
2. Downward Facing Dog Split
The downward facing dog split mostly targets your arms, shoulders, legs, and back. Personally, I feel the biggest burn in my butt, so I think it's great for toning that booty! Here's how to do it.
Start in the downward facing dog pose. Slowly raise your right leg off the ground behind you. Push your left heel to the floor and try to keep an equal amount of weight in both your arms. Hold this pose for several breaths.
3. Boat Pose
The boat pose is a really popular yoga pose for strengthening your abs and toning those muscles.
Begin seated with your hand by your sides and your legs bent. Slowly start raising your feet and leaning back. Once you feel balanced, raise your hands off the ground and extend them forward with your palms facing each other. Hold this pose for 30 seconds or longer!
4. Plank
It may not look like much, but really, the plank pose is one of the best fat burning yoga poses for weight loss. Plus, it really works your core.
The biggest mistakes that people make when doing the plank is either arching their back or lowering their hips too much. To avoid these mistakes, be sure to engage your abs and keep a flat back. Hold this pose for 1 minute.
5. Warrior II
The Warrior II pose is great for toning your thighs and shoulders.
Begin from the Warrior I and slowly begin stretching your arms to the side. As your hips start to open, slightly twist your body to the side. Hold this pofse for 5 deep breaths and then move on to the other side.
6. Bridge
One of my ultimate favorite yoga poses for toning your butt!
Start by laying down on your back with your feet shoulder-width apart and legs bent. While pushing your feet into the ground, slightly lift your back up and tighten your butt. Hold this pose for 5 full breaths.
7. Superman
This is another one of my favorite fat burning yoga poses for weight loss.
Begin lying down on your stomach with your face down and arms out in front of you. Squeeze your abs and butt and slightly lift your arms and legs up. Hold this pose for 5 full breaths.
8. Bow Pose
Once you've mastered the superman pose, try taking it to the next level with the bow pose!
Begin lying on your stomach with your face down and knees bent and heels as close to your butt and possible. Slowly start reaching your hand back towards your ankles. While keeping your knees hip-width apart, lift your chest and thighs off the floor. Hold this pose for 5 full breaths.
9. Tabletop Arm-Leg Lift
Last but certainly not least on our list of fat burning yoga poses for weight loss is the tabletop pose with arm-leg lift.
Start with your hands and knees on the floor, hip-width apart. While engaging your abs and keeping your back straight, slowly lift your left leg and right arms off the floor. Keep your lifted leg and arms straight. Hold this pose for 5 full breaths. Repeat with the other leg.
10. Chair Pose
To finish up our list, we have the chair pose – which is a great yoga pose engaging your whole body!
Start standing straight with your feet slightly apart. Raise your arms straight over your head with your palms facing each other. Slowly begin to bend your knees, while pushing your butt back as if you were sitting in a chair. Hold this pose for 5 full breaths.
And there you have it – 10 fat burning yoga poses for weight loss! Even though we would love to say that by doing these poses every day you will lose weight fast – we can't. We don't want to lie to you and the hard truth is that weight loss is much more than just a great fat burning workout.

23 admit guilt in gangs' organized crime
Cobb District Attorney Vic Reynolds announces that 23 gang members and associates have pleaded guilty to committing various crimes and acts of violence across Cobb County, including some in schools.
With the wide-ranging indictment comprising 12 incidents that occurred over 18 months, prosecutors significantly hindered operations of three local criminal street gangs, known as Get Money Squad (GMS), Wildlyfe, and 2200. Both Wildlyfe and 2200 grew out of the Get Money Squad. All three criminal street gangs maintained alliances, including joint participation in criminal street gang acts.
Cobb Police's Anti-Gang Enforcement Unit began investigating Get Money Squad around 2008. Through interviews, reviewing school incidents, and communication with such agencies as Smyrna Police, Marietta Police and Cobb School Police, investigators uncovered the connectivity among the three criminal gangs and the common purpose of associating to obtain money and property through crime.
"Through this investigation and prosecution, the Cobb County District Attorney's Office along with our law enforcement partners were able to remove three violent criminal street gangs from our community. Members and associates of these gangs admitted that they sold drugs, broke into dozens of cars to commit thefts and committed acts of violence against people outside the gangs, all to increase their status within the criminal organization and further the gangs' violent reputations," said Senior ADA Jaret Usher, who prosecuted the case with Chief ADA John Melvin.
Melvin added: "These gangs flourished through recruitment, intimidation and perpetration of heinous crimes, and it is critical that prosecutors and law enforcement agencies continue to take aggressive actions against these criminals."
District Attorney Reynolds has made fighting gang crime a priority.
"This investigation, prosecution and indictment demonstrates the power of collectively indicting the gang as opposed to the individual. Through such techniques, law enforcement in our community are working together to combat this constant threat to the safety of our citizens," Reynolds said.
The indictment included these 12 incidents.
- 1/25/15: Two defendants committed a drive-by shooting at three men on Westland Way in Marietta, damaging cars and other property.
- 2/18/15: One defendant resisted arrest at Osborne High School, striking two officers. His bookbag contained marijuana packaged for distribution. As he ran from officers on campus, fellow gang members picked him up in a vehicle.
- 9/15/15: One defendant was caught on video stealing property and cash from a student at Osborne.
- 9/29/15: Three defendants broke in to 59 vehicles in the Graywood subdivision.
- 1/11/16: At least one defendant broke into a vehicle on Manning Road in Marietta.
- 3/9/16: Officers responding to a call of shots fired in the area of Cobb and Newmarket Parkways found marijuana and pills on one defendant.
- 3/27/16: At a Chevron on Mars Hill Road, Cobb Police officers found three defendants in a vehicle with 24 grams of marijuana.
- 3/31/16: Acting on an anonymous tip, police responded to a residence in the 1100 block of Mill Pond Drive in Smyrna, and were allowed entry. Through interviews with numerous people inside, police learned that several gang members stayed at the house and sold drugs to pay rent to the homeowner. Four firearms – two of them stolen – were located in the house. In the kitchen, police found a tub containing more than 100 pills.
- 5/11/16: Near Water Oaks Drive, Austell, one defendant beat up a young man and hit him with a gun.
- 5/12/16: Cobb Police's VIPER Unit officers witnessed a hand-to-hand drug sale on Windy Hill Road at Circle 75, and approached. One defendant had a firearm in plain view in a vehicle.
- 5/13/16: Officers responded to a fight at Hurt Road Park during which shots were fired.
- 6/10/16: Officers conducting a traffic stop of two defendants found a stolen firearm.
The defendants are now between 20 and 27 years old and list residences in Cobb cities as well as Lawrenceville, Douglasville, Woodstock, Atlanta, and Dothan, Ala.
The last of the defendants were sentenced in October.
Each defendant pled guilty to racketeering, and most also pled guilty to other assorted crimes, including violation of the street gang terrorism and prevention act, aggravated assault, entering an automobile, violation of Georgia controlled substances act, firearms possession, theft, criminal damage to property, criminal trespass, obstruction, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, disrupting a public school, affray, and criminal use of an article with an altered identification mark.
Cobb Superior Court Judge Reuben Green handed down sentences ranging from 10 years to 20 years. Many of the defendants were granted First Offender status, which means if they complete the in-custody and probation part of their sentences without further trouble, their record in this case will be sealed.
This case is Cobb Indictment 16903394.
