The training/workshop was super helpful. It was for 4th-6th grade teachers in my district. That meant we were all working on adapting it for slightly older than The Sisters teach and dealing with integrating it with the same curriculum.
A brief overview of my "Reading Workshop" last year:
- I went week by week with the curriculum, except for grammar because I just couldn't find a way to teach what a complete sentence was before I taught what a noun was.
- I used some activities from the curriculum, but also haphazardly tried to create hands on, fun activities that mostly confused students.
- Using the theme and strategy for the week, I found more difficult reading passages for my advanced kiddos.
- I typed out instructions for each station.
- I made students a checklist.
- I was exhausted and never actually planned what I would teach small group.
In the beginning of the year, the kids rotated through the stations, including small group. Later on, I let them choose the order and just called groups back. Kids were off task and my small group was tossed together last minute. It wasn't very differentiated in anything but reading level difficulty.
Reading was where I felt the worst last year.
Now I'm trying aspects of Daily 5 and so far it is fabulous! I'm still calling it Reading Workshop ... I like that better. We are working up to doing Daily 4: Read to Self, Read to Someone, Word Work, and Work on Writing.
As most people I know and bloggers I follow do, I give students a bit more structure about what has to be completed than The Sisters do.
Read to Self: This is the one I'm keeping the most open - the kids read what they want and their only recording is the title and author. I'm playing around with the idea of letting them take one AR test each week during this time, but I'm not sure yet. Suggestions?
Read to Someone: This is where I'm having them read stories from our curriculum, but I'm not necessarily going in order. I'm picking what works best with the strategies I'm teaching and with our social studies and science curriculum. I like that by using curriculum stories, both partners can have a copy of the same thing to read. This is also where I'm having kids use graphic organizers based on strategies we're working on. They will have something to turn in from this station each week.
Word Work: This station has must-dos and may-dos for grammar/vocabulary. The must-do so far has been pages from their workbook and the may-do is more hands on. Again, they have things to turn in from this station.
Work on Writing: I'm going to introduce this today! Each week, they will have to write a reading response (a la Book Whisperer meets Notebook Connections). Then, if they do more Work on Writing, they'll have lots of choices, such as another reading response, continuing what they're working on in writing workshop, writing a letter, writing another story, writing something persuasive ... you get the idea!
I made a recording sheet, but it will look the same each week (I already have the next two weeks photocopied!). On Mondays, the students and I will fill in the must-dos on their checklists and they'll keep track of their progress during the week by marking when they do what and recording what they read. The kids are getting a bit confused by all my Must-Do/May-Do categories (because each Daily has them plus some Dailies are must-dos and some are may-dos), so I'm thinking I need to tweak this.
|Click HERE for the google doc!
I also have this pocket chart up with must-dos and may-dos for the kids to reference. Work on Writing isn't up yet since it isn't a workshop choice yet. We're practicing whole class this week! I'm not sure how I'll fit it on there ... going to have to get creative!
|I posted these before, but click HERE if you didn't get them the first time!
Another genius idea from Clutter Free Classroom: Use whiteboard markers on pocket charts!
I'm really enjoying taking the time to set up the procedures and practice stamina, but I am also feeling panicky about not having taught a lot yet during reading. It's also really hard to keep whole class lessons to 10 minutes, but I'm getting better.
This year vs. last year:
Planning takes less time than last year.
The kids are more on task than last year.
There's less busy work than last year.
There's fewer papers for me to grade than last year.
Yep, I'm loving it!

Discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale to avoid foreclosure by clicking here.
Here is the answer. If you stop paying your mortgage, then you can live in your home rent free for 12-24 months, depending on the state you are located within.
I have seen lenders wait a year after the first missed payment just to file for foreclosure. Yes, you can live in your house for free for a long time. However, a short sale has many advantages over a foreclosure.
It does less damage to your credit and allows you to buy another home in 2 years versus the 5-7 years after a foreclosure. In addition, you can get some money as an incentive for doing the short sale.
If you want the benefits of both, then stay in your home until the foreclosure case has been started. Then, start working on a short sale with your agent. A short sale can take anywhere from 3 months to even 6-9 months to process.
This will allow you to salvage your credit and live "rent free" for 12-24 months. You will be able to wipe out all that upside down debt and move on with your life. Best of all, you will be eligible to buy another home in 2 years once you are back on your feet.

Tasmania home to the newest member of the funnel-web spider family
It is enough to make your skin crawl.
A new species of funnel-web spider has been discovered hiding in a wet forest near Weldborough.
Tasmania is home to several hundred species of spiders, including spitting spiders, jumping spiders, peacock spiders, and a whole army of other arachnids.
QVMAG collections officer Simon Fearn collected a funnel-web spider from a forest near Weldborough, which QVMAG Honorary Research Associate John Douglas says is a new species.
He has dubbed it the Blue Tier funnel web.
Mr Douglas said the most common question was are these spiders venomous?
"The answer is yes, but we don't know how venomous because this is a new species and we don't know if anyone has been bitten before," he said.
Nearly 30 species of unidentified Tasmanian spiders have been found by researchers at the Queen Victoria Museum in the past 18 months, highlighting the diversity of the state's arachnid population and the fact that Tasmania is literally crawling with spiders.
Queen Victoria Museum Curator of Natural Sciences David Maynard said the museum received a lot of spiders from the public through the museum's inquiries program.
"Anyone can drop in a specimen to have it identified and — if it's unique — they can donated the specimen to the collection," he said.
"We also go out into the field to try to find new species and our collection is the envy of museum's across Australia.
This year between 20 and 30 undescribed species of spider have been discovered.
That will probably freak a few people out, because it's 2017 and many people think we are quite familiar with the animals and insects that live in Tasmania," Mr Maynard added.
"What it shows is that Tasmania has a huge diversity of species among its spider inhabitants, and what's clear is that there is still much more to be discovered.
"Our next step is to liaise with spider taxonomists across the world to have these species properly described.
Mr Maynard said the museum was exploring the introduction of a new 'scientist in residence' program, similar to the artist in residence program the council has run for many years.
"There are many researchers across the world who would love to examine our collections, and there would be great benefit for us as a museum, as well to be able to tap into that global expertise," he added.
Mr Douglas said while the female Blue Tier funnel-web spiders were likely to stay hidden under logs the majority of the time, the males were more likely to wander about.
"If you do see one, don't just stick your foot on it," Mr Douglas said.
"The museum would be very interested in seeing them, I would be very interested in seeing them, to promote the science and for people to really appreciate these creatures.
"They are beautiful — they might be gruesome — but they are beautiful creatures and we should look after them."

Memorable Manitobans: Geoffrey Wilson Northcott (1920-1978)
Pilot, war veteran.
Born near Rapid City, Manitoba in November 1920, son of Percy Clive Northcott, during the Second World War he enlisted in the RCAF and became one of Canada's most decorated pilots, receiving the Distinguished Service Order (DSO) and Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC). His military medals are displayed in the Western Canada Aviation Museum and his uniform and log books are at the Commonwealth Air Training Plan Museum. After the war, he became a founder of Trans Canada Airlines and, in 1955, was appointed General Manager of Transair based at Winnipeg. He died in October 1978.

With the sphere being incredibly diverse students have many choices to think about before deciding on a web based degree program.

A public well being skilled specializing in epidemiology might coordinate with community leaders to stop the spread of that very same STD. Generally, although, as within the case of an epidemic or demanding well being issue, the program might be implemented at the nationwide level.

Everyone is trying to find ways to save money. Why spend more than you need to? Of course, one of the easiest practices to stretch your dollar is to reduce your living expenses. At Triad Mechanical in Snellville, we see people every day who need help with their out-of-control air conditioning costs. Here are some tips to keep your cooling consumption low and use less energy during the spring, summer, and early fall.
Closing all your doors inside and outside can save you money, especially if you have rooms you just don't use and can turn off or redirect the cool air in those rooms.
Of course, doors that open to the outside can cause you to lose a tremendous amount of chilly air. Keep them closed. Yes, you want to keep the windows closed as well. Curtains can also help keep you from absorbing heat during the summer, hot air that your air conditioner will have to work hard to overcome.
Setting your thermostat at a target temperature between 76 and 78 degrees can save you hundreds of dollars a year. It'll be a little warmer indoors, but you can compensate with the right clothing, like light cotton T-shirts and shorts. You can also turn on your ceiling fans and stay hydrated to feel nice and cool.
Adding insulation to your attic, basement, ceilings, and garage can help keep the outdoor heat out and indoor cool air in during the summer months. Check the R-value and make sure you are getting something that is rated well for insulation, a product that prevents heat transfer.
HVAC companies in Snellville, GA, can help you find where your HVAC system needs improvement. Sometimes, a simple air filter change and routine duct cleaning can dramatically improve the efficiency of your AC system. Other times, you may need to add insulation around the ducts or simply replace your old system with a more energy efficient version. Whatever the case, your HVAC system should be checked at least once a year because, when it runs at its best, you save money on your power bill.

Just a quick note about DerekBrink.com, which I think will be posted on the main page of the site later today…
Some of you may be aware that I received a report that some links looked weird in Firefox last week. I'm checking into it… So far I've only heard that from the one person (thanks again, Jim), and I've been checking it out on a number of machines, but haven't noticed the same error…but the fact that it happened at all worries me, so I've contacted the software-people to see if there's anything I can do to prevent the anomaly.
All that is to say that the stuff that was noted to be "coming the week of June 30!" obviously didn't go live (mostly because it's pretty link-heavy, and I don't want it ALL to look like crap). It should go up THIS week, as I'm expecting whatever problem may or may not be there to be easily corrected, if it even needs to be in the first place…
I'll tell you what's going up, though… I'll be posting the following:
- Full, record-length commentaries of me listening to my two existing CDs and talking over the music (like a DVD commentary, but with a CD instead).
- A bunch of audio-downloads of re-dos from the "Grounds" and "Things I Meant to Say" records. These are NOT the album versions, but are instead complete re-imaginings of the songs. Some have completely new melodies. Some just have different vibes to them. I'm even playing piano on a couple of songs! (Think of them as alternate versions, but y'know…free.) I'll be posting re-workings of "Fall Apart," "Stranger," "Battle Cry," "A Song for Friendship," "One Man," "Scars," "Hands," "Being There," …and I'm determining if I want to throw in anything else. That's eight tunes, and I'm thinking a nice even 10 might be nice, especially since I'm making you wait for it. Might even throw in something new as kind of a preview of the new record, I'm not sure.
- HOPING to have things fully worked out for the "guitar gallery." There are some pics that just aren't looking good when they upload for whatever reason…and of course, they're my favorite guitars…
- Should have full record write-ups.
- A few "Easter Eggs" that you can have fun trying to spot.
So, yeah…that'll be THIS week… Sorry for the mild delay. I know you've all been scheduling your lives around it. Sorry to all those who DIDN'T go out of town over the holiday weekend because they were just sitting in front of their computers hitting "refresh" every hour to make sure they hadn't missed it.
I'm amazingly delusional.
Current Listening:
- Still on "Dual Hawks" by Centro–matic/South San Gabriel. It's kind of layered, and you've really got to dig into it.
- Grooving on some Bruce Springsteen, too. He's coming to STL in August, and I've got tickets. First time I'll be seeing the Boss! 🙂

Stand up Russia they have taken god from our county lets take our country back from this puppet Putin...
Thank you for the opportunity to visit the Corrie ten Boom Museum via our computer. I have been blessed to visit The Hiding Place in Holland on 2 occasions, have seen the movie, and have a large Corrie ten Boom library. I have such admiration for her and her faithfulness to The Lord, and am very thankful for the difference she has made in the lives of many people, including mine. It will be a real joy to meet her face to face in Heaven. My BEST FRIEND is a Jew, and His Name is JESUS, and I rejoice that Corrie and I both belong to His Family!!!
I am one who is old and still loves to tell the old story I learned in my youth. The ancient story of the gospel of Yahushua, in the second temple period called Yeshua, and in the KJV called Jesus. The mercy of YHWH gives life, the justice of YHWH gives death. By the work of the Holy Spirit faith from above is given to those that will believe " YAHweh is salvation". His grace and mercy is a holy work of pure divine love that leads His people to repentance. His sheep hear His voice. It is this love that compels me to love God and preach what is considered foolishness to those who are perishing, but unto His own who are saved from justice and given mercy, it is the power of Yahweh almighty. The Mercy Seat was the covering above the Ark of the Covenant. The Mercy Seat was where God met man in the Holy of Holies. As Christ Jesus He became our Mercy Seat above the Ark When the fullness of time has come, nothing will hold back the judgment and justice of God. When He looks on our life, what does He see? Does He see the Mercy Seat? Does He see the beaten flesh, the shed blood, or does He see the transgressors of His law? Is the Mercy Seat in place in our lives? Is the Holy Spirit ministering life? If you have no Mercy Seat in your life, you have no place to meet God. The law demands justice and condemns the best. Mercy gives salvation and saves the worst. How merciful God is to those who will move with the camp and not be left in the wilderness. Today is the Day of Salvation. We need to look up, for our redemption is truly drawing nigh! Corrie ten Boom and family experienced the words of a most favorite hymn...Be Still My Soul.
Obrigado !!!!! Deus me trouxe aqui, estou muito grato e feliz!
Thank you and your family for helping God's chosen people, you all are a Blessing...<><
It has beeen a blessing to read the book and now make this virtual tour. The footprint of the family ten Boom transcend this life, no doubt!!! God bless you!!!!! Heartfelt thanks!!!!
Thank you for all that you do to help spread the message of GOD'S LOVE and gift of salvation in the LORD JESUS CHRIST! I love the Jewish people, the chosen people of GOD, and pray for them! Thank you for reminding everybody to pray for Jerusalem! The ten Boom Family's testimony and life-story has been used of the LORD to remind me of HIS unfailing goodness and faithfulness to all HIS children! And to never stop loving and obeying the LORD no matter what! Praises and glory to GOD!
The Hiding Place is such an inspiring story and has touched my life many times. God bless!
Met Corrie in the 70's in the US...where she was speaking. Her family story should never be forgotten. Pray for Israel.
When 'The Hiding Place' came to one of our 2 theaters when I was a young teen, my mother took my sister and I to see it, by ourselves. She did not stay. She opened our minds to the horrors of life and war, and opened our hearts to the beauty of good people. I have had Christ in my soul for as long as I remember, and my love of Him only deepened upon learning the TenBoom story. One day I hope to visit the museum.
Corrie Ten Boom has always inspired me in my faith. Thank you so much for this site, and for your work.
Corrie Ten Boom has to be amongst the most courageous women in all of history. Ms. Ten Boom has shown what true forgiveness is all about. I pray for her family that the Lord would pour out His love, mercy and blessings upon them. Thank you Ms. Ten Boom for your example of what a Christian truly is. Love in Jesus Christ, Nancy
Blessed by this Ministry and Great Work of God -Dr. Mike Evans, May the LORD Bless you & Keep you, Shine on you, Be Gracious to you, and Give you His Peace as you continue to fulfill His Calling and Purpose for your life.
God Bless the ten Boom family and,especially Corrie who carried on after she has lost everything.
I love the Ten Boom family. Corrie is 1 of my heroes. I have read every book of hers that I could. My favorite is In My Fathers House. Thank you for keeping this awesome families memory alive. May God bless all your efforts and may this continue to be a blessing and inspiration to the world.
There is a program on TV right now, a mini-series about the Bible and I have been watching all about the struggles of God's people, I was led to this site which has made me understand so much more, both of these things have made me want to read for myself about the rich history of the Jewish people, I will be praying for Gods chosen people. May God give me the love and the faith of the Ten Boom family.
I am a middle school teacher. Each year I read and teach The Hiding Place to my students. They are always amazed when I show them the pictures of the Beje and the secret room. My students and I were able to see the ten Boom clock on display-what an honor. Reading the book for the first time was amazing. I even bought the book on tape to listen to in my car. I am given hope each time I listen or read Corrie's book. Imagine,so many years later and Corrie's words still bring us closer together. I wish I could have met her.
As a young girl in the 1980's I bought a copy of The Hiding Place from a church rummage sale.I did not know God would use that book to place the Jewish people on my heart, nor how that love would grow throughout the years.I often wondered if I would have the courage to stand,like the ten Booms, for the Jews and others who were persecuted.My husband and I stand with Israel and teach our children to do the same.We believe in God's word and pray the eyes of others are opened to the events of the world.
The Ten Boom family have left the world a marvelous testimony to the power of God's love and forgiveness. I know that they are all in the presence of the Lord today and I can't wait to meet them all in Heaven some day. May the Lord bless your ministry through this museum and continue to use the Ten Boom family for His glory.
I read "The hiding place" a long time ago and always dreamed about visiting the museum in Haarlem, but it was not possible at that time. I hope and pray that I, along with my family, will be able to visit it this year. I pray also I would have the courage the Boom family had, to stand in adverse situations if that case may be. May God bless Jerusalem with Peace and Salvation!
God's hand and work through the Ten Boom's will touch everyone who see Corrie's story until we all meet again with loved ones in Heaven, the best is yet to come.. Favorite Corrie quote for me is " There is no pit so deep that God is not deeper still" WOW What HOPE!!!
My husband & I just watched the movie this past weekend. We will be sharing it with our children. God bless ...........thank you Glenn Beck for bringing this to us!
That the Jewish people know the love of God through Jesus as the Ten Boom family always dreamed of and prayed for it to happen.
I'm glad and to be a part of this ministry and fulfilling Bible prophecy, Isaiah 49:22, "Thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people: and they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders." May God continue to bless and expand this world wide ministry and restore His ancient covenant people to right relationship with Himself through faith in our Messiah, Jesus Christ. Amen.
Corrie ten Boom became one of my lifelong heroes the day I spent weeping, unable to put down her book "The Hiding Place". It was as though I was transported, living the book as I read it. That was nearly 40 years ago, and my love for Israel and God's chosen people, the Jews, has grown steadily. We must pray for the peace of Jerusalem and remember that to touch the apple of God's eye means sure destruction. Shalom.
Thank you for this courageous inspiration. Pray we do not need to put it into practice in our own lives, pray that we will not hesitate if we must.
Amo lo q hizo esta mujer y su familia e leido los libros de ella y amo a los judios!!
I just watched The Hiding Place on GBTV and was reduced to tears. God bless Corrie and all of the Ten Boom family.
I have never read "The Hiding Place" but i shall soon read it because i have decided to do a report on Corrie for a school project and i feel that if i read the book i can know how she actually felt.
I'll never forget the inspiring book i read "The Hiding Place" all those years ago... it has touched my heart and strengthen my christian faith in our Lord Jesus and my love for the jewish people and Israel.... i'm now working in Israel and feel so privileged and chosen too!... God bless you and thank you so much for this wonderful site and tribute to the Ten Boom family!....
May the world learn from the past that what happen, so that it will never happen again>
Corrie was a wonderful godly woman. I know it would break her heart, as mine is, to see such turning in the people of the world against the Jewish people again. I wish she were here, for I know she would have much to say... but her time is over, and it is our time now to pick up the mantle and continue until the Lord Jesus comes. She gave us the example of love towards our fellow man - whether they be Jewish or not; and taught us how to love our enemies. I believe her reward will be great in heaven, and as I am involved in an organization that is rescuing Jews and Christians from death in the Middle East and Africa, my prayer is that I may aspire to be like her. I thank you for this chance to speak in reflection upon Corrie.
que bendicion! le pido al Se�or que el me de la fuerza y la fe para poder serle fiel y confiar en el sin importar las circumstancias. se que el le dira a Corrie- ��Hiciste bien, siervo bueno y fiel! En lo poco has sido fiel; te pondr� a cargo de mucho m�s. �Ven a compartir la felicidad de tu Se�or!�
What a beautiful family of God. I have been inspired to do all that I can, to help the Jew's, and also to walk in the love that has been shed abroad in my heart. Truly inspiring and life changing. Thank you to all who have made this precious testimony available for all to see, now may we be doers of His word, just like the Ten Boom's! God bless you.
My first trip to this site. It won't be my last. Thank you for making this available. I will share it with many.
May God bless this family for all there labors of love. Thank you for continuing to have a speical prayer group. I have enjoyed this web sight.
I and WE need to stand for our neighbors and brother and sister in Israel, the Jews. To be able to continue the work of prayer as Corrie's family has done before me. The endurance and faith that lifted them all up and entered into your grace is strength for me today and forever. I will continue as the Ten Booms have started. Today we are one step closer to all being home with you Jesus. Psalm 91 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most high shall abide under the shawdow of the Almighty. Amen
I am a survivor of child abuse at the hands of my biological father--and because of this abuse I was left unable to walk without crutches. I have struggled with the need to forgive also. But God is good, and He has blessed me with a husband (15 years together so far) and three wonderful children who don't mind helping their mom. I pray as I sit that All who are called...will humble (ourselves) and pray... 2 Chronicles 7:14 Great things will be done in His time, and His way. May God bless All of His people.
I love Jesus and Jerusalem. I want to love all people. I believe God to give me true love. I promise to pray for peace of Jerusalem every day.
Cuando realmente abrimos nuestro coraz�n a Dios para que el haga su voluntad y su prop�sito, dejamos de ser unas personas que solo pensamos en nosotros y nos encargamos de poder ayudar a los dem�s.
This book was really good.
Blessed be God forever!
i love to reseach on corrie ten boom she is my hero
The story of the Ten Boom family is a wonderful story of faith, love and courage and will inspire and encourage anyone who reads it. Praying for Israel and her people daily.
I have recently connected again with Corrie's life through the movie and my friends it has moved me to God like never before. What a story, what a life and what a moving legacy! The more I look around in the world today, I see the need to stand up for Jesus like never before. I love the Ten Boom Museum, thank you for it.
I have recently finished reading In My Father's House and The Five Silent Years of Corrie Ten Boom. These books helped me realize how God has used some major events in my life to prepare me to minister to other women, and also what role suffering plays in bringing us closer to God.
I had a chance to meet Ms. Ten Boom n back in the late 1970s. It was an inspiration meet her then and exiting her legacy continues. My parents were from Holland ans they knew claasmates that were trucked to the concentration camp. Something they never forgot and were finally blessed with peace whenthey went home to their Lord.
I looked at this video tour several times and it is so inspiring. I also have the book The Hiding Place and read it several times. I love Corrie and her family and the faith they have is so great. Such wonderful people. God bless their souls.

Monthly Calendar To Collect
Arcadi Volodos Piano Recital
The St. Petersburg Arcadi Volodos finished his piano studies in Madrid, where he still lives today. He made his debut in New York at the age of 24 - with resounding success. But it also meant that Volodos was tirelessly on the road.
From the airport to the hotel in the concert hall to the airport etc., he traveled around the world for 17 long years. 200 concerts a year became too much for him. Today he mainly travels around Europe and gives 50 concerts per year.
The filigree, the intimate sound are particularly close to him. He rejects competitions because of their sporty side, he believes that it is no longer a question of music. In his recital, Arcadi Volodos will contrast Liszt's poetic side with the brooding Schumann.

Wednesday, March 8th, is International Women's Day, with the theme this year 'Be Bold for Change'.
To highlight the importance of equality and celebrate the diversity we have in hipages, we have decided to dedicate the week to understanding more about gender equality issues and showcasing some of the wonderful and bold women we have in the team. Whilst we do have gender equality overall as a company (48% women, 52% male) which is something we are proud of and is rare in the technology industry, women are still underrepresented in some of our teams, in management roles and on our Board – so we have work to do.
One of the ways we improve our understanding of issues and help pave the way for others is to share stories of successful women and their experience. We will post the stories of a few of the many wonderful bold women in hipages each day this week.
Please meet Adelaine Ho
Adelaine Ho (known as Adz) is the Head of Diversity Inclusion & Technical Lead has worked at hipages for just under 8 years, joining initially as a junior developer. Adz has found the hipages environment core to her being successful, particularly the encouragement to 'think big' , 'have a go' and 'learn from your mistakes'. Adz describes hipages as her 'second home & family' and appreciates the company's transparency, believing this enables alignment.
Adz says that having strong role models, mentors and building a network has helped and continues to be important in supporting her ongoing development. Facing her fears and challenging herself (both mentally and physically) has also helped Adz in her life and work. Examples include speaking at conferences and meetups and tackling enduring physical challenges like a 100km trek through the Blue Mountains.
Adz leaves us with advice for others seeking to 'be bold for change' : "With passion and determination, you can pursue anything in life. Have faith and confidence. Don't hold back and don't be shy. If you want something, speak up and go for it!"
Here is what Paolo Ragone, Adz's manager has to say:
"Saying that Adz is bold is an understatement. Her contribution to the team goes well beyond the code that she writes. It's about how she's a constant guardian of the culture on the team, making herself available to all, and by showing a genuine care for the wellbeing of all the team members. The other way in which she's bold is by showing herself as vulnerable and admitting errors: this is a trait of all great leaders. Her behaviour is a great example for others to follow."
Read the full interview here:
How did you get to where you are today in your career?
Believing that "anything is possible", a concept that both David Vitek and David Deng taught me when I first joined hipages. By having an open mind and passion to learn and grow. I've also learnt a lot through failing and making mistakes; a wise man once told me it's about 'accepting your mistakes, learning from them and then move on'. Most importantly, I was extremely lucky to have mentors and role models along the way to help guide me.
How has being 'bold' made a difference to your life and career?
My first breakthrough was when I spoke at networking events and shared my journey through blog posts with the community. It was very well received which helped boost my confidence.
The second breakthrough was when I took a leap of faith into the unknown; applying for an internal promotion to become Technical Lead. I never considered myself as a technical leader but thought I could give it a go. Although I've had some struggles and many learnings on the job, I've been loving the challenge and strive to become better everyday.
When I attended the World Women Changers Summit last year, under the encouragement of Jodette (our Chief People Officer), I decided to go up to Ming Long, my idol in the Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) space, and boldly asked if she could be my mentor. Although she kindly declined because she was mentoring two other executives, she referred me to another mentor, Dai Le who has been phenomenal and opened up a lot of opportunities and networking possibilities. This just shows, you never know what might happen if you don't ask.
The final bold action I want to share is an interesting one but one I would truly recommend to anyone; training hard physically, pushing myself out of my comfort zone and taking on physical challenges. For example, a gruelling 100km trek in the Blue Mountains, crawling through mud at obstacle races, abseiling down a 50 metre waterfall, scuba diving and whitewater rafting to name a few. This has definitely helped make me become mentally tougher and more resilient to stressful situations.
Tell us what you do and why you bring your passion to hipages?
For 4 days a week, I am the Technical Lead for the acquisition team, also known as the User Growth team and 1 day a week, I get to dive into the area of D&I, being appointed Head of Diversity and Inclusion in July 2016.
Taking on the Head of Diversity and Inclusion role 6 months ago has meant a lot to me. I saw this as a chance to give back to the company.
In 2009, I was hired as a junior designer/developer and a joined a team of 3 other developers at hipages, including David himself! I am one of the lucky ones who was able to see the company transition and grow from 50 employees when I joined to where we are now (280 staff) and advertising on billboards, newspapers and television across the nation. It's been quite a journey and being a part of this experience has been exhilarating and eye opening. hipages has become my second home and family. I am extremely grateful that the company has invested in my growth and development through the years. How can one not be passionate towards their family? 😉
Another reason why I bring passion to hipages is because I truly believe in the company's purpose: 'making life easier'. It means a lot to be part of something meaningful. I also believe that passion is the key to life. I put passion in everything I do.
Are you are comfortable to achieve want you want to at hipages?
I feel heard, valued and trusted by my peers and the leaders of the organisation. A massive part of why I can be my true authentic self when I come into work everyday is because I am surrounded by genuine colleagues. I love our company values. I hear people say "there's no such thing as silly questions here" all the time; this just gives you a sense of our culture here! :
Do you think hipages has an environment that enables you to be bold for change?
Yes, I believe hipages has unleashed my full potential by making me feel included and part of the team. We are constantly evolving and changing with the times and technology. Although I sometimes like to be a creature of habit and some changes may be challenging at times. However I believe if we do not adapt to change, how will we improve? This is what hipages does well. Through the years, I can see our business model evolve and adapt. I feel the transparency in keeping employees in the loop of the direction of where the business is going also helps.
Throughout your career how have you been bold for change?
I haven't been shy to ask for what I want and am constantly challenging the way we do things, more so in the last 2 years, taking on more responsibility as Head of Diversity and Inclusion/Technical Lead. This was a drastic change for my career development, not just working with code on a daily basis but also learning about people and personalities, gaining soft skills along the way.
I've also started writing blog posts to increase awareness on topics and create change by getting involved in the D&I community and thinking of ways hipages could be a change agent in this area.
Do you have any words of wisdom/advice to others who may have been stopped in their tracks in being 'be bold for change'?
My motto in life is "passion is key". With passion and determination, you can pursue anything in life. 'Have faith and confidence', although I sometimes struggle with this myself but I do try my best to this. Don't hold back and don't be shy. If you want something, speak up and go for it!
Did being a woman and becoming a Tech Lead impact the way you were viewed?
To be honest, no. I think it was more so how I viewed myself internally. Having the confidence to back myself etc.
Did anyone ever try and stop you from entering the Tech Space as it is highly dominated by men?
I was my own worst critic/enemy. I tend to have doubts in my own ability because I did not graduate from Computer Science. My father was very encouraging and supportive after I graduated from Bachelor of Digital Media in UNSW. But prior to that, when I had to choose my GCSE subjects in high school, my father didn't want me to take Economics but I was allowed to study Design whereas my brother was not allowed to study Design.
When you have attended external events have you ever felt dismissed about your opinion or your expertise being a woman?
No, the community has been very welcoming. Everyone who I have spoken to is friendly, helpful and always want to share and exchange experiences.
Coming from an Asian background was it ever frowned upon that you were going to explore/work in a technical field which may not be the norm in some Asian cultures?
Not really, my parents have always taught my brother and I that as long as we can earn a living and support ourselves, we could be in whatever industry we like. I used to think one of my uncles thought I wasn't bright; he didn't speak to me until my academic results came out but this could just be my mind storytelling. We are our own worst critic, especially when we lack confidence!

Ando Valentine is a singer/songwriter, best described as 90's alt-rock with a touch of 70's folk thrown in. Basically, think Barenaked Ladies meets Gordon Lightfoot. Usually armed with his Ibanez 6-string guitar, Ando has begun playing open mic nights in the Atlanta area, and hopes to hit a recording studio soon.
There are some old-school garage band style jamming videos of Ando on YouTube.

I was just wondering if there are still people here waiting for their code for the digital version of Yooka-Laylee. I was there on day one to back the Kickstarter project and i chose the Xbox One version. On here, NeoGAF, Reddit and so on i see people saying they received their code but i'm still waiting for mine. It says Pending and coming soon on the Digital Rewards page and nothing else. I've been looking forward to this game for so long and so much that i may be a little bit impatient. I just want to know if things are all well or if someone may have gone wrong and in that case i have no idea what to do. Contact Team 17 maybe.
Long story short, just want to know if there are people that have the same. Does it still say pending for anyone else?

The Question Time audience is awed by Diane Abbott's intellect and articulacy
4 comments:
A Chocolate Soldier, perhaps, from a third rate operetta? Careful, she might dust off that trouser suit of loud B/W check which makes her look like a Grand Prix flag [you published a picture of it recently]. What a vulgar, ghastly woman." Even worse than the Duchess of Pork, if that is not too insulting?ReplyDeleteReplies
Too insulting? Not at all - just accurate.Delete
Worse, I feel ever so sorry for her. We all know where's she coming from and ironically she is saying what many people probably think IS behind a lot of these slayings - it's just no one said it on QT and consequently it didn't need to be refuted by Ms Abbott.ReplyDeleteReplies
What's frightening is her complete lack of mental agility. You'd think someone who'd been involved in politics as long as she has would know when to draw back from the brink of absolute humiliation - instead, she just keeps lumbering along in the same direction, and repeats the asinine lie that had the audience laughing at her in the first place. She's hardly the first intellectually-challenged frontbencher to make a complete fool of herself in public, but she's the first one who seems totally incapable of understanding what other people are saying. And she came within a whisker of taking charge of the Home Office!Delete

Chris Selley: It's our money, so we want to know what you're doing with it
Chris Selley November 5, 2010 – 7:17 pm
Look at this column. Now look at outgoing councillor Sandra Bussin's website. Now back at this column. Over the past year, that website cost you and your fellow taxpayers $8,960.68 — just for design, development and maintenance. (Over the same period, Ms. Bussin also billed $11,747.80 in unspecified "data entry.") It's an OK website, I guess. Pretty basic. There's a calendar of local events, a few press releases, and an "about Sandra Bussin" page on which Toronto Sun columnist Sue-Ann Levy, ironically enough, calls her "unstoppable."
But is it a $9,000 website? Informed opinions I consulted suggested she — which is to say we — could have done considerably better. That doesn't mean she did anything wrong, obviously. You could reasonably accuse me of nitpicking. But that's sort of my point: Because it's our money, it's our right to nitpick, and our politicians' responsibility to respond to it. If they think we're overreacting, they should explain why. Far too often, they won't. I've lost track of the number of unreturned phone calls reported in this week's news, not least from Ms. Bussin.
Not least from Adam Giambrone, either. In February, after he'd abandoned his mayoral campaign, he billed $2,299.50 for French lessons. And in June, after he'd announced he wouldn't run for council again, he billed the same amount. That's not a matter of nitpicking. Certainly in the latter case, it's flat-out unethical.
More people in Mr. Giambrone's ward speak Chinese, Vietnamese, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese than French, but back in the glory days, he justified the lessons by noting he was on the board of a francophone association of Ontario municipalities. Judge that as you will, at least it offered a theoretical benefit to the taxpayer. Once he knew he wasn't coming back, however, he knew there was no way the taxpayer could possibly benefit from his burgeoning bilingualism … at least until he shows up in federal politics. (Come on. You know it's going to happen.) As such, we shouldn't have had to foot the bill. It's as simple as that.
The timing of these expense reports is terrific, news-wise, because there isn't all that much to do these days except wait for Rob Ford to take over and find out what he's capable of. So there is a temptation to go after the low-hanging fruit — Kyle Rae's $421 donation to cover a permit for Mr. Leatherman Toronto's "Leather Ball in the Park," for example, and myriad donations by councillors to all manner of causes that people might or might not agree with: soccer teams, charity marches, the fights against various diseases.
Those expenses add up. In the first nine months of this year, 14 councillors filed expenses under "other" — mostly donations and tickets to charity events — in excess of $2,000. But more than the money, I object to the randomness of it. There is no net detriment when a councillor donates $500 of taxpayer money to a local public school library, but what about all the public schools in the wards where councillors don't donate anything to anyone? Why should they have $500 less to buy books? It's like combining government spending with roulette.
There is a whole class of people and pundits who, when confronted with taxpayer outrage that's based on a few hundred or thousand dollars, will roll their eyes, cluck their tongues and muse aloud about the Tea Party movement spreading north of the border. You can almost taste the disdain: Don't these Neanderthals understand that the city's finances are a matter of billions and millions, not hundreds and thousands? Don't they realize they're only driving smart people out of politics?
The fact Mr. Ford rode the backlash all the way to the mayor's office should give those people pause. But personally speaking, it's not the sums that annoy me at all. I'm not outraged by the cost of Ms. Bussin's website or Mr. Rae's permit. It isn't the cost of Mr. Giambrone's French lessons that rankles; it's that he had the temerity to expense it. What I object to is any compromise to my absolute right to information about activities conducted with my money, and to an explanation from the politicians who chose to spend it the way they did.
Why people want to know is irrelevant. It's their money, and they want to know. So tell them, or prepare to be yelled at.

Informal crossing points are used in areas with light vehicular traffic that fall outside the controlled area of formal crossings or where having a formal crossing would be disruptive for vehicle flow.
Such crossings seek to subtly direct pedestrians to cross at specific locations to raise their visibility to motorists.
Informal crossings have sprung up at places where pedestrians desire to cross, including near bus stops. Some informal crossing points are identified by pavement refuges sited on one or both sides of a road or a central refuge.
In some countries, a continuous sidewalk - with raised crossing area - is another form of informal crossing.
Courtesy crossings, another type of informal crossing, come with dropped kerbs and, usually, a different surface.
A pedestrian waiting at a courtesy crossing must establish eye contact with an approaching motorist to interact and negotiate with the latter to graciously stop for him.
Informal crossings may be acceptable to pedestrians with good vision, the ability to judge and time safe gaps for crossing, and the ability to walk steadily while looking out for approaching vehicles and adjust their pace accordingly.
But it is not so with vulnerable pedestrians, including people with vision impairment.
It also contradicts the kerb drill, which teaches children to cross the road only after ensuring all traffic has stopped.
Informal crossings with traffic calming measures seek to provide a safe place for motorists to yield to pedestrians, if they so desire.
However, unlike at zebra crossings, the motorist is not legally obliged to stop for pedestrians.
There were also instances when a car that stopped for a pedestrian at an informal crossing was hit by another vehicle on the rear.
The authorities should clarify whether informal crossings here have legal status as pedestrian crossings? If not, do motorists have priority at all informal crossings?
Are motorists allowed to assert priority over pedestrians already walking on informal crossings? If a motorist injures a pedestrian at an informal crossing, will the pedestrian, even if he is a vulnerable person, have to bear a substantial share of responsibility?
The use of courtesy crossings at Silver Zones raises safety concerns ("Thumbs up for elder-friendly road zones"; July 3).
Perhaps, it would be safer to implement Courtesy Plus crossings, similar to the Green Man Plus system, that mandates priority to vulnerable pedestrians at all informal crossing points.

"Here's what I think. You've been reading too many of those knights-and-ladies stories in the Gentleman's Review. People have lived and loved and died everywhere. And for every crusading knight who won a tournament for his lady in this castle, I promise you— there were a hundred men who spent a solid decade scratching themselves and having pissing contests from the ramparts."

Hello, this is David Austin with the BBC News.
Austrians are voting at an early general election after a scandal in May caused the previous coalition to collapse. A former head of the junior coalition partner, the far-right Freedom Party had to resign after he was caught in a video sting bringing down the government led by the Conservative Sebastian Kurz. From Vienna, here's Bethany Bell.
Since the collapse of the last government in May, Austria has been ruled by a caretaker technocrat administration. Now the country's going to the polls again, in the running of the Conservatives led by the young former Chancellor Sebastian Kurz; the Social Democrats led by Pamela Rendi-Wagner; the anti-immigrant Freedom Party with its new leader Norbert Hofer and the Greens under Werner Kogler. Also in the race of the liberal Neos. Coalition talks following the election are likely to take a number of weeks.
Saudi media are reporting that the personal bodyguard of King Salman has been shot dead in what was described as a personal dispute. Sasha Schlichter reports.
According to Saudi state media, Major General Abdulaziz al-Fagham was killed in the Red Sea port city of Jeddah where the government relocates for the summer months. He passed away on Saturday evening at the Grand Mosque. Images of the general have been shared on twitter accompanied by verses of lamentation. General al-Fagham had also served as the personal bodyguard of the late King Abdullah, Salman's half brother. The official explanation of the death was an exchange of fire following a personal dispute.
The turnout in Afghanistan's presidential election is estimated to be the lowest since 2001 when the Taliban regime was defeated. The overall number is expected to be just over two million, meaning roughly one in five registered voters cast their ballot. Correspondents say the turnout on Saturday was very low because people were worried about security and have lost faith in the electoral process. Preliminary results are not expected before mid-October.
The speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi has said public opinion has moved behind the Democrats' decision to open an impeachment investigation into President Trump, but she said the move to start an inquiry was not political, but a matter of principle.
I think right now, there's a cover-up of the cover-up. And I'm just saying to you that people say you have to take a political risk doing that, that doesn't matter, because we cannot have president of United States undermining his oath of office, undermining our national security and undermining the integrity of our elections. Mr. Trump said that he was being targeted by the Democrats for standing up for basic freedoms and the future of the US was at stake.

The Smart Motor Revolution
Many people fantasize about hitting a lottery jackpot. And yeah, sure, I'd love to win a lottery. Anyone would.
But call me crazy — I think it's more exciting to earn money through fantastic investments rather than just getting extremely lucky.
While countless people daydream of winning the Mega Millions, I fantasize about being able to go back in time and invest in groundbreaking technologies.
Imagine the excitement of being able to take part in the development of the railroads in the early 1800s.
Or investing in the light bulb in the 1870s.
Or not even that far back. Picture yourself being one of the early investors in 20th century inventions like the transistor or the semiconductor.
Each of these technological revolutions made early investors rich beyond their wildest dreams. So maybe my fantasy and winning the lottery are six and half a dozen. But I find it more exciting to invest.
In other words, if winning the lottery is just looking at the results of a football game on SportsCenter, making money through investing in revolutionary technologies is watching the excitement of the whole match. At least it is to me.
So when small-cap stock guru Alex Koyfman said he wanted to tell me about a "reinvention one of the most important technological devices known to modern man," my interests were piqued.
It wasn't a new kind of smartphone or any other kind of electronic gadget that would eventually just turn into a fad.
Instead, Alex wanted to tell me about a new kind of electric motor.
I have to admit, it sounded a bit dull at first. Who is going to get excited over electric motors? They've been around for two centuries.
But after Alex explained exactly how this device is going to change the face of the electric motor as we know it, I knew he was onto something huge.
It makes every electric motor and electric generator in the world obsolete.
Believe it or not, half of all the energy produced globally is consumed by electric motors. Half!
That's over $3 trillion worth of electricity, or 5% of the total global economy.
That's not really surprising considering electric motors are everywhere. They're in fans, pumps, vacuum cleaners, elevators, refrigerators... too many things to list. They make everything work.
But after 200 years of development, electric motors haven't changed that much.
They've been made bigger. And they've been made of different materials. They've been standardized and perfected with modern manufacturing processes.
But in all those years, nobody's made any real changes to the basic motor.
Alex says, "That means even the high-tech motors that Elon Musk puts into every Tesla vehicle to hit the road are nothing more than antiques dressed up with modern finishes."
But with this new device, that's about to change.
What's the big deal?
Well, it's all about maximizing efficiency.
You see, existing electric motors achieve peak efficiency at a single operating speed.
Anywhere above or below that specific speed, and efficiency suffers.
This results in great energy losses across all applications.
Our analysts have traveled the world over, dedicated to finding the best and most profitable investments in the global energy markets. All you have to do to join our Energy and Capital investment community is sign up for the daily newsletter below.
But a brand-new company is finally solving this problem: It's built a gearing system using complex, highly sophisticated algorithms to optimize power electronics and efficiency at all speeds.
All speeds!
It's essentially a new kind of "smart motor." And this revolution is going to... well, I think Alex is exactly right: it's going to reinvent one of the most important technological devices known to man.
Alex says, "Comparing this new electric motor system with everything on the market today is like comparing Lance Armstrong's 22-speed bike to a tricycle from Walmart."
The innovator of this device, which now controls patents to the first true evolution of the electric motor, is a true-to-life technology startup with a total market capitalization of less than $20 million.
The motors this company is building today have efficiency ratings that beat everything out there. And that means not only will the new generation use less energy, but it'll also be smaller, cost less to maintain, and last longer.
Better yet, it's also an opportunity to take part in a real-life technological revolution that Wall Street hasn't even considered yet.
Every electric motor in the world retrofitted with this device will see huge gains in power generation. And that will amount to tens of billions of dollars added to company's bottom line without having to build a single new unit.
That alone will be more than enough of an incentive for major corporations like Tesla, Mercedes, BMW, General Electric, Honeywell, and a host of other multibillion-dollar giants to switch over to this new system.
In the interest of time, I've really only begun to scratch the surface of the details of this new system. There's really a lot to understand and know about this new gearing system.
That's why I've asked Alex to put everything about this new system and the company behind it into a report, which he did, and he published it earlier this week.
Please take some time to read this report all the way through. As an energy investor, you're really going to want to take part in this.
Until next time,

There may be trouble ahead
Wednesday, 22nd May 2019 23:25 by Tim Whelan
Andrea Radrizzani's warning of a "difficult" summer transfer window has sparked plenty of concern, especially as the club has yet to get Bielsa to commit to another season at Elland Road.
At the start of April Radz was talking of attracting plenty of new investment to the club if we were promoted to the Premier League, but it goes without saying that won't happen now that we've missed out the cash bonanza of the Premiership TV contracts.
Radrizzani's own funds are going to be limited after the UK part of his sport TV group has had a difficult time in the last 12 months, after failing to recoup the amount spent on rights for the Italian and Spanish leagues.
And according to the Yorkshire Post Leeds United's loss for the season just finished is likely to exceed the £4.3m deficit reported in 2017/18 despite attracting higher crowds, as the wage bill has also increased over the same period.
All this comes a talks continue with Marcello Bielsa, and although Leeds hold an option to renew his deal for another 12 months, the club will only do so if the Argentinian is happy to remain. Radrizzani is hoping to conclude the talks in the next 48 hours, but it's a bit concerning that it's already taken as long as it has.
Bielsa didn't exactly commit himself to staying in the job when he spoke to the press after the play-off defeat, and in the past the 63 year-old has walked out on clubs when he felt he wasn't given sufficient backing. He is believed to want guarantees about his transfer budgets for the next two windows, as well as players' contract renewals and improvements to the training ground.
Speaking at the FT Business in Football Summit, Radrizzani said "We'll have to run a difficult summer in terms of the transfer market but we have a great academy." And Bielsa has already said that if he stays he will give more first team appearances to Jamie Shackleton and Ryan Edmondson over the coming season.
But will we be able to hang onto the young talent that has broken through already? According to the Daily Mail, Tottenham Hotspur are ready to make a £10 million offer for Jack Clarke, with Arsenal and Crystal Palace also interested. Bournemouth have been linked with Kalvin Phillips, while Leeds are struggling to agree a contract extension with Kemar Roofe, who has only one year left on his current deal.
Slightly more unlikely is the Sun's claim that Liverpool and Bournemouth are willing to part with £4m for Leif Davis, even though the left-back has only made a handful of appearances, and they were due to injuries to other players. But losing our best youngsters to top division clubs has been an all-too familiar pattern in the last few years, with the club needing the money from the sale of Lewis Cook, Ronaldo Vieira, etc.
Today's statement from the Chairman can presumably scotch some of the more outlandish stories in the press about possible signings, such as the £10m we might pay Crystal Palace for Andros Townsend, or that we could match the £55k a week that Dwight Gayle is currently on at Newcastle. And we can presumably forget the prospect of converting Jack Harrison's loan deal into a permanent transfer, unless City drop the £20m they are supposedly asking for.
We might be able to scrape a few million from the sale of some of the duffers signed by Orta in the summer of 2017, with Ekuban and Cibicki still on the books even though the spent last season out on loan. And we might get up to £6m for Samu Saiz, who has been told he is not wanted back at Leeds even though Getafe have no interest in signing him after his spell at the La Liga club.
But any receipts from these players will go on budget signings. Sky Sports have suggested that one such could be Portsmouth's top scorer Jamal Lowe, who could be available for £2m as he has only one year left on his contract. He scored 17 goals for Pompey in all competitions in 2018/19, but that's not all that prolific in a side that finished 4th in the table, and as he's already 24 you have to wonder if he's good enough to make an impact in a higher division.
Apart from the likes of Lowe, Leeds are likely to rely on yet more loan signings from the Premier League. If Bielsa does decide to stay he could hire some players from his admirers Guardiola and Pochettino, who would trust him to develop some of their best youngsters for a season, but will this prospect be enough to persuade the Argentinian to sign on the dotted line for another tilt at promotion?
