Fifth Graders Learn to Debate During Book Club at Pound Ridge Elementary School
Maria Pappace gathered her class of fifth graders around the Promethean Board, which displayed a list of provocative debatable ideas about a text. Before breaking off into their book clubs, the class was learning a new skill: how to debate.
"If I think I can have a debate without prepping, I'm always wrong," Pappace told her students, adding that she likes to debate with her husband often. "I start throwing out opinions and my husband will refer to articles he's read that include facts and statistics."
Pappace went on to explain that a debate requires taking a position and backing it up with evidence.
"The reason becomes more debatable if you have evidence to back it," she said.
Pappace's students were about to take their new knowledge and use it to debate the themes of the books they were reading.
"Wouldn't it be boring if we didn't have disagreements when we're reading?" Pappace asked. "Before you go into a debate, be ready. What is it you want to say? What evidence will you be using? You need to listen and let the other person respond to you."
Once Pappace had explained what a debate is and how to best prepare, students broke off into their book clubs and were given five minutes to organize their thoughts and evidence before they began debating each other. The groups had each chosen a different book to read: Out of My Mind, The Great Gilly Hopkins, The Bridge to Terabithia, and The Hit-Away Kid.
Once the five minutes were up, students turned to their notes and their books, which were marked up with Post-Its that traced the evidence of their themes.
Some groups dove right in, with students referring to specific pages to cite their evidence. Some were so convincing, they began to pull the other side into their camp.
"Hmmm," one student was heard saying to her partner. "Their reasons are convincing me a little bit that they're right."
One club struggled to find a theme. Pappace, who wove through the clubs listening and interjecting when necessary, helped them find a debatable topic.
"We switched from theme to which character is the nicest," Pappace said. "A debate was natural when I mentioned that. Two people said 'Definitely this person!' and two people said 'No! It's this person!' That was a little more manageable. It's like picking a just-right book. Picking a just-right topic."
Pappace went on to say that she would work with the group further to understand the theme of the text while allowing them to practice debating in the moment.
Once the allotted time was over, the class came back together to process their debates and figure out what worked and what did not.
"We talked well together. We weren't rude and we handled it well when someone interjected," one student noted.
"I think we grew our ideas," another said. "We bunched up some ideas and found a good theme."
Other students pointed out difficulties. Some groups had trouble staying on topic. Some felt that not everyone was paying attention.
"My group kind of struggled," one student noted. "When we were debating, one group couldn't think of an idea. We should think deeper."
Another student took note of how not having solid evidence changed things.
"Miles and I didn't have a lot of evidence to prove our argument," she said. "Mia and Harrison did. It started to get me to hook onto their theme instead of mine."
Pappace noted that this was the goal for everyone.
"That's what happens in a good debate!" she said. "If you have good facts and evidence in your debate, you're going to pull somebody to your side — and that is really the goal."

If there is consolidation in cloud providers, it could happen quickly and government needs to be ready to jump in and prevent the formation of a monopoly.
That's the broad belief held by Nathaniel Borenstein, co-creator of the integral Mime communications protocol and chief scientist of cloud email company Mimecast, who spoke to ZDNet UK on Monday.
As IT functions transition to being provided 'as a service', it becomes easier for a cloud player, such a Google, Amazon — via Amazon Web Services — Rackspace or others, to acquire competitors and absorb their hardware into its infrastructure footprint, Borenstein argued.
The ease of acquisition is aided by cloud companies' love for filling their datacentres with thousands of identical commodity servers. Knowing that the underlying hardware is homogenous makes it easier to design and roll-out new software stacks on top, he said.
"When an acquisition happens, traditionally it's like the snake swallowing the big animal, it takes a long time to adjust and a long time to adapt. But all cloud companies have the same outward-facing model and even if they're different organisations on the inside, it's not that hard to make it look like a common service," he said. "IT services have become little identical bricks that you can stack any way you want."
Because consolidation appears to be so easy, Borenstein worries that governments could be slow to jump in and regulate to prevent cloud monopolies from forming.
Utility computing is driven by "the same imperatives that drove electric grids, water systems, rail systems in many countries, television, lots of things", he said. This means that as the cloud grows in popularity, government overseers have to maintain a balance between a competitive market and one small enough to be regulated.
"My depressed American perspective is that our government doesn't seem capable of noticing when it's time to regulate anything, especially because I think that when it happens, cloud computing could consolidate so fast," he said. "[Consolidation] is a conceivable outcome. I personally think there has to be some regulatory involvement."

Commodities slumped for a second straight session Wednesday amid two-year highs in the dollar and a slowdown in China — the world's fastest-growing economy — which intensified fears of global recession.
Falling stock prices also weakened raw materials markets, which have taken their direction lately from equities despite commodities often being touted as an uncorrelated asset class.
"A lot of investors are beginning to use equities markets as a guide to decide how the economy will be doing, and it's all bearish at the moment," said Clarence Chu, a trader at Hudson Capital Energy in Singapore.

Technicians in India Are Under Valued
Technicians are skilled workers that work with complex and highly technical, mechanical or diagnostic systems.
Repair technicians are very important and very necessary. They should be treated as valuable manpower for the society. Electronic gadgets these days are much more complex to fix. It has become much tougher to fix things ourselves. Repair technicians happen to be at your service to fix things around the house. In India the value of a technician unfortunately is not much. The skills they have remain unappreciated and under valued. Some people also believe that electronic gadgets cannot be repaired and even if they do get it repaired, the product might not last for long after that.
However, technicians apply their knowledge to their absolute best to get work done and get your gadget up and running. There are many gadgets available out there like mobile phones , computers, washing machines, fridges, TV's, AC's, CCTV Camera's etc ( All electronics ). These are gadgets that we use all the time. Some of them have been utilized so much over the past few years that we can't do without them. Home repair involves the diagnosis and resolution of gadgets. We must be thankful that we have people willing to come to our homes to repair our gadgets that we need so badly. Repairing your electronics is always a better option than buying new ones because it saves a lot of money and it reduces electronic waste. A repairer is faced with the task to identify the problem then figuring out the best materials and tools required to solve the problem and to then actually repair the damaged thing. Imagine a world without repair technicians. Firstly it would be an impossible situation when one of your gadgets stop function or causes trouble, other work would stop because one one gadget not being able to function. Secondly, we would be living in a much more expensive world because every time something broke down and we couldn't repair it ourselves, we would have to replace it by purchasing a new gadget.
Unfortunately this under valuing of repair technicians is occurring because there are many fake or unprofessional technicians out there who end up spoiling your gadgets. The solution to this problem would be to create a platform for good technicians to put up their resume's on job portals. If they are genuinely good, they will be recognized by the portal administrator and recommendations will be made to employers and customers. In this way the customer is assured a technician who is good at his job and good technicians don't end up jobless.

High Orbital Angular Momentum Harmonic Generation
Physical Review Letters American Physical Society 117 (2016)
We identify and explore a high orbital angular momentum (OAM) harmonics generation and amplification mechanism that manipulates the OAM independently of any other laser property, by preserving the initial laser wavelength, through stimulated Raman backscattering in a plasma. The high OAM harmonics spectra can extend at least up to the limiting value imposed by the paraxial approximation. We show with theory and particle-in-cell simulations that the orders of the OAM harmonics can be tuned according to a selection rule that depends on the initial OAM of the interacting waves. We illustrate the high OAM harmonics generation in a plasma using several examples including the generation of prime OAM harmonics. The process can also be realized in any nonlinear optical Kerr media supporting three-wave interactions.

[note to players: this is not normal, I heard the story before.]
This is more of a quirk rather than a bug but it's clear it's not proper behavior since the ping is accepted on a reconnect.
It goes like this: [server: about 80-100 ping to the player, requires <130]
- Hit Qtracker server to connect
- Quake3 opens and tries to connect to it
- 'Server is for low pings'
- 'Server is for low pings'
- /reconnect
- it's fine
(I suspect it may be better if run without an external browser)
- 'server is full'
- 'server is full'
- <server apparently opens slot>
- 'server is for low pings only'
- 'server is for low pings only'
(apparently it bugs to think it was for high pings)
- /reconnect
- fine
I had gone through some code hunting to pin point the code affecting it but I stumbled into what I thought was mod code.

This is a node about running Emacs on so called "dumb terminals". Well, they're not that dumb really, because they can do all sorts of things by themselves, and most people emulate these things on a daily basis.
Most of this applies to unixy systems, like the GnuIsNotUnix, often erroneously called Linux. EmacsOnVMS is also a candidate topic here, and maybe EmacsForOSTwo, but other systems are not likely to be accessed via a terminal.
There's a lot of goodies for terminals at http://vt100.net.
The most basic variable on the unix-machines is
TERM, and it gets it's default from the configuration file of mother of all processes, the init. This file is usually called "/etc/inittab". The value of this variable should obviously match the capabilities of you terminal. If in doubt, "vt220" covers most of the terminals, and "vt100" almost all. Other variables for shells of the sh-family are COLUMNS and LINES, and these should match your terminals settings too. I won't get into line-characteristics here, like speed, number of data and stop bits.
When Emacs starts, it tries to load a library called "term/value_of_term", f.ex. "term/vt420". These usually set quite decent defaults.
You do want to have hardware flowcontrol, and turn it on from the terminal itself, and for the getty process too which is the thing that initializes the terminal line. Well, you can use stty(1) too, to tweak you serial line. So you'll propably wan't to have a null-modem cable, or real modems if you're a bit further away, or got some extras lying about.
The flowcontrol is crucial at speeds above 9600bps. The XON/XOFF protocol, which sucks anyway, might interfere with Emacs'
C-s and
C-q events, so you do want RTS/CTS. The library flow-ctrl provides some convenience features, most notably the command
enable-flow-control which also remaps these keys. Other ways to handle use of XON/XOFF include using the unix command
stty -ixon or
(set-input-mode t nil
t) from Emacs. Either way, no matter what your setting will be, you will miss the command
recenter that will re-draw the screen. By default it's bound to
Terminals by Digital Equipment Corporation, or
|d|i|g|i|t|a|l| are common, and often emulated. Maybe the most common terminal mode of all is the vt100, and also vt101, vt102 and vt220. Emacs handles there terminals quite well.
Most of the special keys work by default, tho there's some quirks. At least the VT420, like many other DEC terminals don't have a proper "ESC" key, but the sequence can be generated with
C-3 or with
C-[. Emacs' term/ libraries also map the f11 key as an additional ESC for some DEC terminals (vt220, vt320 and vt420 at least), so there's three to choose from.
Make sure you use the "vt420 mode, 7bit controls", not with 8bit controls. These 8bit controls are not defined, and rarely used with unixy computers, which is bit of a pity…
The Alt key doesn't work as expected.
Certain values for the keyboard type from the terminal's menus (f.ex. "Finnish keyboard") make the
S-3 produce section-symbol "§", and not the hash-symbol "#" one expects. The compose character -key is used to compensate this, by
compose + +.
The terminal's keyboard also has two modes, "typewriting keys" and "data processing keys". For instance the former allow the keys left of RET to be used for scandinavian chars with a finnish keyboard, the latter enables the curly braces, brackets and others on the same keys. This is a bit of a nuisance, but again, can be compensated for with the compose key.
tekonivel occasionally uses a DEC VT420 over a null-modem cable to a GnuIsNotUnix system, and it works just fine. Though the speed is set quite low, to 9600, it's still usable, as Emacs wisely updates only the parts of screen that have changed. The VT420 is used in a mode with 132 columns and 48 rows, page-length also set to 48 to get fullscreen pages. The cable is simple, and doesn't provide hardware flowcontrol. There's actually none in use, because the speed is low enough.
Actually the terminal is used in VT220 emulation mode, because the "vt420" termcap entry doesn't happen to be installed on one of the machines it's used for. vt220 mode is the default for the line in /etc/inittab of the host computer, as well as for the terminal itself.
The Alt key doesn't work at all, which is a bit of a pain in the neck.

« EelmineJätka »
maintains that no explanation of these "contrivances" has been or can be given, except on the supposition of a personal contriver, specially arranging the details of each case, although causing them to be produced by the ordinary processes of growth and reproduction.
Now there is a difficulty in this view of the origin of the structure of Orchids which the Duke does not allude to. The majority of flowering plants are fertilized, either without the agency of insects or, when insects are required, without any very important modification of the structure of the flower. It is evident, therefore, that flowers might have been formed as varied, fantastic, and beautiful as the Orchids, and yet have been fertilized without more complexity of structure than is found in Violets, or Clover, or Primroses, or a thousand other flowers. The strange springs and traps and pitfalls found in the flowers of Orchids cannot be necessary per se, since exactly the same end is gained in ten thousand other flowers which do not possess them. Is it not then an extraordinary idea, to imagine the Creator of the Universe contriving the various complicated parts of these flowers, as a mechanic might contrive an ingenious toy or a difficult puzzle? Is it not a more worthy conception that they are some of the results of those general laws which were so co-ordinated at the first introduction of life upon the earth as to result necessarily in the utmost possible development of varied forms?
But let us take one of the simpler cases adduced and see if our general laws are unable to account for it.
A Case of Orchis-structure explained by Natural
Selection. There is a Madagascar Orchis—the Angræcum sesquipedale—with an immensely long and deep nectary. How did such an extraordinary organ come to be developed ? Mr. Darwin's explanation is this. The pollen of this flower can only be removed by the base of the proboscis of some very large moths, when trying to get at the nectar at the bottom of the vessel. The moths with the longest probosces would do this most effectually ; they would be rewarded for their long tongues by getting the most nectar ; whilst on the other hand, the flowers with the deepest nectaries would be the best fertilized by the largest moths preferring them. Consequently, the deepest nectaried Orchids and the longest tongued moths would each confer on the other an advantage in the battle of life. This would tend to their respective perpetuation, and to the constant lengthening of nectaries and probosces. Now let it be remembered, that what we have to account for, is only the unusual length of this organ. A nectary is found in many orders of plants and is especially common in the Orchids, but in this one case only is it more than a foot long. How did this arise? We begin with the fact, proved experimentally by Mr. Darwin, that moths do visit Orchids, do thrust their spiral trunks into the nectaries, and do fertilize them by carrying the pollinia of one flower to the stigma of another. He has further explained the exact mechanism
by which this is effected, and the Duke of Argyll admits the accuracy of his observations. In our British species, such as Orchis pyramidalis, it is not necessary that there should be any exact adjustment between the length of the nectary and that of the proboscis of the insect; and thus a number of insects of various sizes are found to carry away the pollinia and aid in the fertilization. In the Angræcum sesquipedale, however, it is necessary that the proboscis should be forced into a particular part of the flower, and this would only be done by a large moth burying its proboscis to the very base, and straining to drain the nectar from the bottom of the long tube, in which it occupies a depth of one or two inches only. Now let us start from the time when the nectary was only half its present length or about six inches, and was chiefly fertilized by a species of moth which appeared at the time of the plant's flowering, and whose proboscis was of the same length. Among the millions of flowers of the Angræcum produced every year, some would always be shorter than the average, some longer. The former, owing to the structure of the flower, would not get fertilized, because the moths could get all the nectar without forcing their trunks down to the very base. The latter would be well fertilized, and the longest would on the average be the best fertilized of all. By this process alone the average length of the nectary would annually increase, because, the short-nectaried flowers being sterile and the long ones having abundant offspring, exactly the same effect would be produced as if a gardener destroyed the short ones and sowed the seed of the long ones only; and this we know by experience would produce a regular increase of length, since it is this very process which has increased the size and changed the form of our cultivated fruits and flowers.
But this would lead in time to such an increased length of the nectary that many of the moths could only just reach the surface of the nectar, and only the few with exceptionally long trunks be able to suck up a considerable portion.
This would cause many moths to neglect these flowers because they could not get a satisfying supply of nectar, and if these were the only moths in the country the flowers would undoubtedly suffer, and the further growth of the nectary be checked by exactly the same process which had led to its increase. But there are an immense variety of moths, of various lengths of proboscis, and as the nectary became longer, other and larger species would become the fertilizers, and would carry on the process till the largest moths became the sole agents. Now, if not before, the moth would also be affected, for those with the longest probosces would get most food, would be the strongest and most vigorous, would visit and fertilize the greatest number of flowers, and would leave the largest number of descendants. The flowers most completely fertilized by these moths being those which had the longest nectaries, there would in each generation be on the average an increase in the length of the nectaries, and also
an average increase in the length of the probosces of the moths; and this would be a necessary result from the fact that nature ever fluctuates about a mean, or that in every generation there would be flowers with longer and shorter nectaries, and moths with longer and shorter probosces than the average. No doubt there are a hundred causes that might have checked this process before it had reached the point of development at which we find it. If, for instance, the variation in the quantity of nectar had been at any stage greater than the variation in the length of the nectary, then smaller moths could have reached it and have effected the fertilization. Or if the growth of the probosces of the moths had from other causes increased quicker than that of the nectary, or if the increased length of proboscis had been injurious to them in any way, or if the species of moth with the longest proboscis had become much diminished by sonne enemy or other unfavourable conditions, then, in any of these cases, the shorter nectaried flowers, which would have attracted and could have been fertilized by the smaller kinds of moths, would have had the advantage. And checks of a similar nature to these no doubt have acted in other parts of the world, and have prevented such an extraordinary development of nectary as has been produced by favourable conditions in Madagascar only, and in one single species of Orchid. I may here mention that some of the large Sphinx moths of the tropics have probosces nearly as long as the nectary of Angræcum sesquipe

Most people have given some thought to starting their own home based business. It's most likely crossed your mind too. Being able to work when you want to is, for many, the ideal situation. Keep reading for more work from home business ideas.
You should know exactly how much a product costs to make, if you plan on selling something that you created. You determine mark-up for wholesale by multiplying your cost by two. A standard price increase for retail would be the wholesale price multiplied by two. Make it a fair price both you and the customers can agree upon.
Consider items that you would be interested in using in your own life if you are trying to decide what product to sell. Before you can effectively select the ideal product, you must first identify an unmet need. Just think about it. If there's something you need, other people probably need it too!
You should start your business from home while keeping your old job. A new business might take a while before it can generate profit, therefore, it is wise to keep your job going. Make sure you have some money saved away while you wait for the profits to start coming in.
By obtaining a checking account for your business, you will be able to see all of the outgoing expenses and also keep track of how much money is coming in. All business-related transactions should occur with this account. This makes it easier to track your company's transactions. It also helps to have a credit card that you use solely for business expenses.
Reduce your business expenses by taking any and all tax deductions that are available to you. If you claim all of your deductions, you will save a lot of money on taxes.
Ensure your home business enterprise won't interfere with your family's routine. If it starts to be a problem for your family, you should think up a different type of business.
You should select a business name that has meaning with regards to the products and services you are selling. Your brand represents your products, so creating a recognizable name makes it easier for your customers to relate to you. Consider using a fun anecdote or a story of inspiration. Having a really good brand name helps you to ace that all important first impression.
Creating realistic expectations of your work from home business will help you stay in check with your opportunities. Are your products interesting, and do they capture the attention of potential buyers? Can you succeed in the business as an honest businessman or businesswoman?
Make sure you have adequate liability insurance if you have a online business. If people will be coming into your home to do business, this is especially important. This will cover you if an accident happens at your home, or on a property connected to your home business.
No matter the business you start at home, success will come from serving customers in the best way possible. As your own boss, it is up to you to keep your online business organized and well managed. Keep learning tactics that will help you in running a business. If you follow common sense rules and put in the effort, your home business enterprise can thrive for years.

MANHATTAN, NY—The last Saturday of each month serves as the occasion for a gathering of the metro area's lively steampunk community. The drinking, dining and listening event, dubbed "Chronologie," is the brainchild of impresario Sir William Welles, who together with in-house manager Guvnor Michael Fratz, has been hosting the theme party at Lillie's Times Square since the summer of 2012. Each event strives to promote a theme. This occasion it was The Nutcracker Sweet, a pun referring to both the seasonally popular Tchaikovsky ballet and the distribution of sweets in the form of free cookies and cupcakes to the guests. The consistent, but by no means mandatory refreshment, is absinthe, the drink of the Age Of Steam, banned during the past century in the States until a very few years back, now favored as the naughty drink of the new millennium.
Welles also serves as the DJ, treating Edwardian-attired nostalgia buffs to an eclectic mix of the wide-ranging and multiple steampunk styles, which includes everything from industrial beats to early 20th century ragtime. At any given time, the crowd of antique-costumed New Romantics may be grooving to depression-era swing, synthetic jams or Fred Astaire's "Puttin' On The Ritz." A very modern, electro-alternative version of "Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairies" was included in the playlist. The minor key, banjo and violin-driven syncopated rhythms of steampunk icons Abney Park most closely fit the musical sense of the evening.
The establishment, Lillie's, is an architectural jaw-dropper of high Victorian style with sky-high ceilings, stone columns, framed artwork, sculpture, sconces, candelabras and a balcony, which sometimes serves as the stage whenever there are live performers.
The menu is interesting, the food excellent, and the prices reasonable. Not everyone at Lillie's was there for Chronologie. Most were just "civilian" Times Square tourist imbibers and diners who enjoyed gawking at the top-hatted, begoggled and anachronistically attired insiders. A survey of the ultra-sociable Chronologie attendees turned up a mix of actors and actresses, promoters, artists, literary types and just plain entertainment seekers. There were a number of goth-scene crossovers in attendance, including Welles himself, who hosts dark-themed events around the city and puts up the elaborate events website, New Goth City, plus a widely read Facebook page under his own name. Multi-talented and highly recognizable goth celebrity Voltaire was briefly the center of attention by sincerely impressed, photo taking Japanese tourists.
Chronologie, while certainly not the only opportunity for denizens of this retro-futuristic crowd to gather, looks like it may serve as the flagship event for the greater NYC steampunk community. Everyone in attendance seemed to be having the time of their lives, eager to share their enthusiasm for this esoteric craze and to network with others interested in exploring the scene further.

So, back in 2000, our Council released a new plan. The area around the paddock was included for development. This was a response to the community who wanted land allocated for co-housing type development. The idea being to create a couple of additional suburban size lots on your land with the bulk retained to grow rainforest. One by one our neighbours up and down the street subdivided, but not in the co-housing model – just straight sub-division. We went from cow paddocks to acreage lots. In 2006, after pretty much all our neighbours had sub-divided, we decided that we would too. So six years later and a rather LOT of expenditure, we have the Cubby House paddock, La Studio paddock and the third paddock. The third paddock is for sale. If you're interested, just call out. I'll welcome a buyer with a glass or two of Shiraz.

Same-sex marriage campaigners are upping the ante in their push for a change, recruiting workers from some of Australia's most trusted professions in a new advertising blitz.
A nurse, a firefighter, a lifesaver and a soldier feature in a new television commercial and billboards calling for the government to allow MPs a free vote on the issue of same-sex marriage.
"We can put our lives on the line. We can stand the heat. We can nurse you back to health. So why can't we get married?" the workers ask in the television advertisement.
"We do our jobs. It's about time politicians did theirs."
The Equality Campaign is behind the ads, and executive director Tiernan Brady said they would run all through the month while parliament sits.
The billboards will be put up around the country and campaigners also plan to take their message directly to locals with community events.
"We're going to make very clear to all people who are elected representatives that this issue hasn't gone away and it won't go away, and it will just continue to grow ... until marriage equality becomes the law of the land," Mr Brady told reporters at a campaign launch in Sydney on Sunday.
Nurse Sally Whitney features in the television commercial, and told AAP she doesn't understand why the government won't allow a free vote on same-sex marriage.
"The only people it affects is the people who are actually getting married," she said.
""I should have the choice to marry or not to marry. I deserve to be treated exactly the same as everyone else."
Sydney MP Alex Greenwich, who is co-chair of the Australian Marriage Equality organisation, said there was strong support for the issue in the Coalition, on the crossbenches and within the Opposition.
"I think Australians are really sick of our politicians complicating such a straightforward issue," he said.

I'm glad I waited until older age to become mother, says Halle Berry
Halle Berry has opened up about why she chose to wait until she was older to give birth to her daughter.
The 46-year-old actress insists she is able to care for her baby daughter much better now than if she were in her twenties. Berry gave birth to Nahla Ariela Aubry in March 2008 and claims the maturity she''s gained with age has made her more equipped for motherhood.
"I''m a much better mother at 46... than if I were like, 21 or 25," the Daily Mail quoted her as saying during an interview on German chat show Wetten dass...? on Saturday.
"[At that age] I was just a little baby just trying to figure out who I was, let alone having the responsibility of trying to help another little soul develop and grow. I''m so glad I waited," she added.

DENVER — Golden softball opened up a 1-game lead in the competitive race for the Class 4A Jeffco League title Thursday afternoon.
The Demons — No. 2 in the CHSAANow.com Class 4A rankings — edged rival D'Evelyn 2-0 on the Jaguars' home field. Despite taking the driver's seat in the conference race, Golden coach Chad Herbers knows it far from over when it comes to repeating as league champs for the Demons (19-1, 6-1 in league).
"I'm still not comfortable," Herbers said of the Demons' 1-game lead over D'Evelyn and Wheat Ridge with three league games left. "We can lose that top spot just as quickly as we gained it. It's beautiful to see 4A Jeffco as strong as it is right now. It makes it fun."
Golden sophomore Caitlyn Stevens was a big part in making the trip to D'Evelyn fun. The Demons' designated hitter belted a 2-run home run over the fence in left field in the top of the second inning for the lone run-producing hit of the game.
"I just went up there and focused on the ball," Stevens said of long blast. "I felt like it was a good hit, but I didn't know what would happen with it."
What happened was the ball skipped off the top of the fence to drive in senior Haley Prey to grab a 2-0 lead for the Demons. Prey was hit by a pitch to start out the inning.
"I didn't think it would go out," Herbers said of the home run by Stevens. "Not at 225 (feet) and the wind blowing in from left field. She really got into it."
Herbers said Stevens had been working hard on her swing lately. It was her second home run in the past three games.
Golden senior Emma Graham pitched the complete-game shutout. Graham had to dance her way out of jams in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings to keep D'Evelyn (13-7, 5-2) at bay.
The Jaguars actually outhit the Demons 5 to 4 in the loss, but couldn't come up with the big hit to get on the scoreboard.
"To win ballgames like this you have to be the one to want to be at the plate," D'Evelyn coach Dan Porreco said. "To win these game you have to come up with those big hits."
Graham finished the game in style striking out the side in the bottom of the seventh inning after a lead-off single by D'Evelyn sophomore Mia Riebe.
"It's always my goal to strike people out, but you can't always do it all," Graham said when asked about striking out the side in the bottom of the seventh to end the game.
Graham finished with nine strikeouts.
"Emma delivered," Herbers said. "She pitched deep in some counts and made it interesting. Defense still made the plays too."
D'Evelyn sophomore pitcher Avery Garbarek was very impressive too. Garbarek allowed just the four hits while striking out five against the hot hitting Demons. It was the lowest scoring output for Golden on the season.
"She (Garbarek) did a fantastic job," Porreco said of his sophomore pitcher. "After that home run she really emotionally settled in and came back. She is growing. That was impressive against Golden."
Golden finishes league play with games against Green Mountain and Standley Lake before hosting D'Evelyn in its regular-season finale Oct. 10. The Jaguars have a tough road facing Evergreen and No. 5 Wheat Ridge before getting the rematch against Golden.

Some international students might think that they are not attractive to prospective employers in the United States, so they plan to go back to their home country right after finishing their studies.
One day, I was surprised to hear from one international student that she was not going to a career fair on campus because no employer would be interested in hiring international students.
You may say, "We attended the job fair on campus last semester, but it was quite disappointing because not many companies in our career field participated and they did not seem to be interested in talking with international students" Some students may wonder what the point of attending the career fair is if most of the employers told them to apply online.
However, the reason why employers ask candidates to post their resume on line is because technology contributes to more effective and cost effective application process. Actually it does not hurt for you to post your resume through online even if you meet employers in person and show your resume on the spot.
Thus, I encourage all of you to participate in the job fair! By going to the job fair, you can get a perspective of what employers look for, what your major looks like in the current job market, and what are some trends in your career field. It does not matter whether you currently have a job or not.
Here is the blog that explains why career fairs are important for everyone.
However, I want to emphasize that attending a career fair is more important for international students who have not had any working experience in the United States. Although you cannot be offered a job, you may have a chance to work in the training program that companies usually offer through the career fair. The internship experience will work like one tool to make you stand among the candidates for your future job interview.
"Be positive! You should know that you are more competitive than the other candidates because you speak at least two languages and understand cultural differences through your personal experience let alone your knowledge of your major.
Keep in mind when you go to the job fair,
Be dressed professionally!

Dignity. Respect. Privacy. Freedom from abuse, harassment and discrimination. Many of us take these rights for granted. But too often they are not fully realized by LGBT older adults, whether they are receiving care and services in the community or living in long-term care facilities such as nursing homes or assisted living residences. Unfortunately, shameful stories of discrimination and abuse of LGBT elders are too common. Fearing how they may be treated, many LGBT elders needing long-term care and services have felt the need to deny who they are. Rather than risk being abused or mistreated, they often do not seek the additional care and services they need.
LGBT Older Adults in Long-Term Care Facilities: Stories from the Field, a study and report (PDF) prepared by Justice in Aging, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, SAGE, Lambda Legal, the National Center for Lesbian Rights and the National Center for Transgender Equality, illustrates not only the very real concerns of LGBT elders living in long-term-care facilities, but also personal experiences of abuse, discrimination and harassment.
Our work at the National Consumer Voice for Quality Long-Term Care (Consumer Voice) is to educate and empower individuals receiving long-term care and services with the tools they need to advocate for themselves. We also train and support individuals and groups, such as long-term care ombudsmen, that empower and advocate for those individuals. Along with our sister organization, the National Long-Term Care Ombudsman Resource Center (NORC), we have partnered with SAGE, Lambda Legal, Justice in Aging and the National Resource Center on LGBT Aging to conduct and share training and resources on supporting and advocating for LGBT elders. Additionally, we directly advocate for the development of public policies that provide protections for all older adults receiving care and services, specifically the protection of their right to be free from abuse and discrimination.
Regardless of where they live and receive services and supports, LGBT elders have the right to be free from discrimination and harassment. For those living in nursing homes, they have rights and protections provided by the federal Nursing Home Reform Law, as well as state and federal anti-discrimination provisions. Some of those rights include:
- Freedom from all types of abuse, including physical, verbal, mental and sexual abuse, financial exploitation and neglect;
- The right to privacy, which applies to their personal information, communications with others—written and verbal, interactions with others and medical information;
- The right to be treated with respect and dignity at all times;
- The right to exercise choice and self-determination, including in how they dress, in how they want to be addressed (e.g., using a preferred pronoun), with whom they associate and visit; and,
- The right to participate in their own care planning and treatment, including designating surrogates, such as a healthcare power of attorney, to act on their behalf.
For individuals receiving care in assisted living facilities or other community-based settings, it is important to understand the rights and protections provided in state law. The Consumer Voice has more information about individual rights in all settings on our website.
We encourage individuals who have concerns about the way they are being treated, or those who have been subject to abuse, discrimination or harassment, to seek help right away. They might:
- Share concerns with a supervisor, social worker, administrator or trusted staff person.
- Ask about the facility's (or other entity's) policy for filing a grievance, and use it.
- If in a long-term care facility, ask for a care plan meeting to discuss concerns.
- Document complaints and responses to complaints.
Sometimes more help is required and LGBT elders can seek outside assistance and supports if needed. The Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program advocates for residents in long-term care facilities (nursing homes, assisted living residences and board-and-care facilities) and program representatives are trained to resolve complaints. They work with and on behalf of residents to achieve a result that is satisfactory to the resident. They are also a good source of information and education, not only for residents and families, but also for long-term-care facility staff. Ombudsmen take direction from residents they work with, and cannot disclose resident information without that person's consent.
State licensing agencies that oversee nursing homes, assisted living facilities, or home healthcare also accept complaints. They have the authority to hold providers accountable for violations of rights, mistreatment and abuse. Adult Protective Services investigates reports of abuse, neglect and exploitation of older adults, as does local law enforcement.
Review this fact sheet (PDF) for more information about residents' rights and the LGBT community, advocacy tips and contact information for entities to investigate complaints. Examples of training, consumer education materials and other resources from the Consumer Voice, the National Long-Term Care Ombudsman Resource Center and our partner organizations are available at http://ltcombudsman.org/issues/lgbt-elders.

The House For Ice Skating Boots And Eclipse Blades
Five percent of this sale goes to the buyer's house club. Not only the Sidney Crosby Jersey is hot sale in Canada, but in addition the Stanley Cup group in 2011 Boston Bruins Jersey be hot sale, Shop from us at cheapest price today! In other words, higher priced skates are made for more advanced players, and low-priced; price point skate versions are more suitable for beginners and recreational level play. They will mount the blade over the boot and then sharpen the blade before you get to the ice for the first time as part of the initial price. I see certain burnout by Friday unless we accept this enforced midweek break. It is imperative to take preventative step before going out to your game. When you get home, it is almost always a good idea to choose your skates out of your skate bag, take your soakers off and allow your skates dry out. A fantastic illustration of the care they want is your carbon steel blade that is under the boot.
However, skaters that took private lessons out of them raved about their team teaching.
YOU. Yes, there are secrets, strategies and skills places you want to learn and develop to be able to have a Best Year Ever! This city has a mild climate and welcome travelers all around the globe. Due to the fact that many roam the city streets and other regions looking for somewhere to ride others look at them in a negative manner. If you are practicing the majority of days and coaching for the next level, then you might choose to look within this range for skates. If the specific youth team or a person's peer group enjoys characteristics or creatures, you might visit Make-up Trail. However, skaters that took private lessons out of them raved about their team teaching. Jackson Ultima Softec XP1000 Skates are packed with impressive capabilities. The blade sizes listed below are for Jackson Ultima Boots ONLY.
You will see it to the ice if you need to sharpen your blades.
Together with our sizes ranging all the way from UK size 10 in junior to size 12 in adults, we now cater for everyone when you purchase your figure skates online. To begin with, look for a skate that is 1 1/2 to two sizes smaller than your existing shoes; too large, and also the skate will not hold your foot properly in place, resulting in less control on the ice. You will see it to the ice if you need to sharpen your blades. I figured out just how much sleep I want and I have to get to bed about 9:30 to find the amount I need. They'll soak into the fabric, so use that as an effect; it's hard to get a hard edge, unless you use a stencil or a shaper to pay or divert the spray off the fabric. Make cheap and easy wall decoration with vibrant left over fabric: Simply stretch the fabric on a plastic embroidery hoop and hang on the wall, which could be simpler? Exercise 3: Negative stretch: Stretch my hands to my knee, then develop a couple of inches, then go to the knee, return to standing.
- Roller Blades
- Ice Castles (1978)
- Accessible with Fleece, Blue, Pink or Purple lining
- Jackson Freestyle skates are durable
- Fire Ice
I believe Ice Girl's new performance dress will come out of here. How Can I Select a Good, Employed Ice Skating Dress? Sew patterns. They have several skating dress/leotard patterns and a couple of these patterns have blade soaker patterns. Ice sports have a host of health and exercise benefits. The blade doesn't go off the ice at all, but increasing the toe of the boot 'rolls' you back on the back-mid to the rear of the blade where the best glide of the skate is located. First when you drop deeper in the knee, then you temporarily alter the load to the ice, shifting the vector due to your acceleration, and you change back on the rocker, which also impacts the acceleration by altering the load. Ahead of thirst comes knocking, you have to feel hungry. Most ice hockey rinks have hockey markings under the ice; There is 5 circles on the outside, one in the middle, and one at every corner. Most ice skate bags are made in a triangular form to maintain the design of the ice SB.
This foot wear has had a long and twisting road to the present day form. Finally, some brands can heat the boot to a individual's foot. When I was in the center doing two foot twists: They were amazing–solid, centered, on the right place of the rocker, no hesitation, four rotations, with nice exits. If you're covering Vancouver in your Canada tour from india then you shouldn't overlook to visit Whistler which is just two hour drive from Whistler. "Thrusting waves" with two other people in the center of the summer and got seriously sunburned, all on time for my uncle's wedding. We have got the quality new and used hockey and figure skates that you require for less. So based on wher…e you live you will want to look around. When choosing your very first pair of skates a few different details need to be considered, some might seem more clear than others.

Solicitor Warwick Anderson addresses media outside the Downing Centre.
WARNING: Graphic content
When confused parents noticed they hadn't seen a seven-year-old girl for 15 minutes at a south Sydney dance studio on November 15 last year, they all decided to pitch in and help find her.
What one of those concerned parents, Nicola Gilio — whose child was dancing with her friends at the time — discovered when he checked an upstairs toilet of the Arena building in Kogarah will likely haunt him forever.
His friends told news.com.au at the time the kind-hearted Sydney dad was left with "physical and emotional scars" after he kicked down that toilet door and saw what was happening inside.
After seeing the missing young girl inside the cubicle with 55-year-old convicted rapist Anthony Peter Sampieri, who was choking her into submission at knifepoint and raping her, he put his life on the line.
A wild scuffle broke out, as he and dentist Jeffrey Stack, whose dental practice is in the same building, tried to rescue the little girl.
He felt the sharp pain of a blade plunge into his stomach and copped a slashing to the back of his neck during the altercation.
The girl's mother was also slashed on the arm as she reached out in a bid to protect her child, but fortunately, Mr Stack, a former amateur boxer, punched Sampieri in the head and knocked him out.
It was a night that even those who could only hear the harrowing screams coming from the dank cubicle will never forget.
This week, Sampieri pleaded guilty to three counts of raping the girl as he held her captive in the bathroom — bringing the child's family a step closer to some form of justice.
But how this disturbing crime was ever allowed to take place is deeply contentious — given Sampieri was on parole at the time of the incident but was not wearing a GPS monitor.
He had walked free after five years of a seven-year sentence for raping a 60-year-old woman at knifepoint in his Illawarra home in 2012.
And, a month before the attack, it was revealed Sampieri was called to a police station to be interviewed over an alleged harassing and menacing phone call he made to a woman.
News.com.au revealed exclusive details of disgusting calls Sampieri made to two women in Wollongong in 2012.
Calling himself "Ron", Sampieri is believed to have followed at least one of them home and, fearing that he was a sex pervert whose behaviour was escalating, one woman called police.
In one phone call, Sampieri asked a woman: "Can I stick my tongue in your a*****e?".
In another call to a separate woman, Sampieri was offensive and the language graphic as he described the lewd sex act he would like to perform on her.
As details of Sampieri's behaviour came to light across numerous media outlets, NSW Police Minister Troy Grant said the whole discussion made him "crook in the guts".
However, he promised the "answers will come" as to how Sampieri was allowed to walk unchecked into that Kogarah dance studio, brandishing a scalpel.
As part of this hunt for answers, a NSW Police senior constable, 31-year-old Andrew Michael Bruce, was charged in Aprilwith four counts of neglect of duty. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
It will be alleged that on October 26 last year, a woman filed a complaint at St George police station about an offensive call from Sampieri — leading to the convicted rapist being summoned to the station for an interview.
Const Bruce allegedly did a search for Sampieri's name in a computer system and discovered it was red-flagged because he was on parole.
However, Const Bruce allegedly did not obtain the criminal history on the system or pass it on to community corrections — meaning Sampieri was allowed to walk free that day, despite breaching his parole, just weeks before the dance studio attack.
Const Bruce has pleaded not guilty to four counts of neglect of duty, and his solicitor Warwick Anderson told reporters his client has "had his life turned upside down and he's just doing his best".
Sampieri's attack sparked a political war of words, as former NSW opposition leader Michael Daley called for a system-wide review of parole and more resources for police.
He said it was wrong to blame the system-wide failure on one officer.
"The police do an amazing job keeping tabs on some of the most dangerous offenders in our society, but they cannot do it with one hand tied behind their backs," he said in a statement shortly after the attack.
Premier Gladys Berejiklian admitted in parliament that mistakes were made.
"On this occasion, getting it wrong may have resulted in the most terrible of circumstances, and we are deeply, deeply sorry to everyone affected," she told parliament.
As the fallout from Sampieri's attack continues, Sampieri's 25-year-old son Daniel told The Daily Telegraph his father was "beyond saving" and "better off dead".
"I hope he feels for what he's done, but he's beyond saving … he's been abusing heroin and ice too long," he said.
"There's no cure for someone like that. He's better off dead, and the quicker he dies in jail the better."
A bearded Sampieri appeared via video link in Sydney's Central Local Court from custody as his lawyer, Penny Musgrave, entered the pleas on his behalf.
He gave brief responses of "that's right", "yes" and "OK" during the court appearance as magistrate Robert Williams committed him for sentence in Downing Centre District Court on June 21.
Sampieri is due to again appear via video link.
The court heard some facts were in dispute and an agreed fact sheet would be filed in the District Court.
Sampieri also faces 29 charges of making threatening phone calls in the weeks before the dance studio attack.
He's due to appear before Central Local Court on July 10 on those matters and was committed to Downing Centre Local Court for sentence on June 21.
Const Bruce is currently suspended with pay, and his case will return to court on August 8.

With the recent trend in films and TV shows to have as dark a plot as possible (in order to appeal to the group of angsty teens that gush whenever blood or death comes on screen), it's no surprise that Satsuriku no Tenshi, an anime literally called the Angel of Death, has been released.
Based on a horror role-playing game (RPG) game, Angel of Death tells the story of Rachel Gardner, who wakes up in a dark creepy place with no idea how she got there and has to escape from a bunch of psycho killers that all want her guts as Christmas decorations. At least, that's the story line we expect to see, until Rachel realizes that she hates her own life and asks one of the psychos, Jack, to kill her.
It sounds ludicrous on paper, and, to some extent, it is. However I'd say Angel of Death makes it mostly work by justifying it with surprisingly good amounts of drama.
Angst is often something we all roll our eyes at, but when described and explored to the depth this anime does, I'd say it earns that bit of darkness. Rachel makes a fairly good character despite the fact that 90 percent of her dialogue consists of the words "kill" and "me," and her psycho companion, Jack, actually gets some of the best lines in the whole show despite spending half of it cackling like he inhaled too much laughing gas.
Sadly though, that drama doesn't extend to the other characters — the other psychos roaming around the building. Maybe these minor characters were explored more fully in the game, but since this is just a 12-episode show, their personalities were unfortunately drastically cut short. They were reduced to just animation fodder, with a new villain every week prancing about on screen, trying — and failing — to be edgy. In the end, their personalities end up as generic as their designs — a little pumpkin kid, a clearly Dracula-inspired guy, a mad scientist and a dominatrix lady.
This anime also stutters a bit in the entertainment department; the original game was an RPG-style puzzle exploration game that involved roaming about in dark spaces, trying to find some vague clue that leads to the hint to the key to the door to the chest to the button until your brains turn to mush.
Of course, the developers must have realized that keeping all these elements in the anime would drive away all the impatient viewers who came to fuel their edge gauge, and the show has almost none of the puzzle elements left.
While this was a smart choice in some sense, this also means that what we do see of Jack and Rachel's escape attempt is rather boring and simple. Finding a key to hit a button to the next location isn't exactly the most riveting thing to watch, and a lot of the mystery elements that could have been explored were also cut short.
The pattern of most of the puzzles are also carbon-copy, with Jack's ineptitude and Rachel's constant need to find a solution to it; and no, it doesn't make it any less dumb just because he admits that he's stupid. You'd think anyone would realize that they've sat down in an electric chair without someone having to tell you that perhaps sitting in it might result in some burnt clothes and fried meat.
What this results in is a mixed bag of an anime that has drama, horror, thrills and mystery but, at the same time, not enough of it to really stick in any particular category. Rachel and Jack are good, but aside from them, the cast is bland. The story has some interesting elements but is cut short by ramblings about sin and god — typical of any edgy story. The action value, aside from some legitimately impressive animation, falls short and flat.
Satsuriku no Tenshi could have been quite good, and I can definitely see its potential; it's just that it was better realized as a game where the player is free to spend as much time as they want on any portion of the story.
With the restrictions of having to watch it in 12 20-minute intervals, the storytelling choices are inevitably limited. That being said, I'm still impressed by the developers; they managed to make the best they could out of rather unforgiving circumstances. Unfortunately, while I give them an A for effort, I cannot be so kind to the show itself.

When you cut the umbilical cord , opening your mouth to find the voice , you find that you are out there in the cold. Cold dark cavern of social media where you find numerous surrogates making ever white Ms word document scribbled with blank font color. Innumerable articles pressed in wordpress and blogspot every minute.
This is no fashion world where you can be the next Poonam Panday and make myriad promises , like adding a lap dance to your stripping . So how to become that red spot and get noticed.
Do you remember the Apple Computers brilliant 1997 "Think Different" advertisement and campaign? It was narrated perfectly by Richard Dreyfus, with actual footage of people in history who chose to break the rules every now and then.
And whether you are a PC user or a Mac addict, who wouldn't want to be invited to join a club with geniuses like John Lennon, Albert Einstein and Jim Henson?
So, to make your blog the "Blue eyed boy" all you need to do is add some adjectives to the writer in you ." Be the crazy one, The misfit, The Rebel, The troublemaker, The round peg in the square hole.Dont be found of rules, and have no respect for status Quo."
Others will Quote you , Disagree with you , Glorify or Villify you but one thing is for sure they can't ignore you. Let people think you to be crazy . only crazy thing have the potential to create the change and push the world forward. One has to be crazy to make the much required difference, because all sane people all around the globe has done absolutely no good till now.
To all the bloggers around the globe , lets borrow some lesson from this 14 yrs old campaign and shake up our blog from slumber and get ourselves rid of the vanilla post.
No I am not asking you to take an anti status quo, go against out "thought leaders" or something like that. But you can atleast speak out the underground truth . isn't it, everyone loves to read the truth , (so what they cant speak it out) and nod there head in accent. it will help to spread your blog among similar nodding heads, and resulting in a very optimistic traffic diversion. Zig when everyone else is zagging. You may be surprised at the discussion you start (and at how many people actually agree with you).
Imagine a post from a totally different perspective. Thing how will a mechanic view your blog ? what will be the opinion of a social entrepreneur when he/she bumps across your blog.? will a girl who just broke up with her cheating boyfriend appreciate your perception about relationship? (well!! the third one is bit beyond control so ignore that J ) what will a guy just planning to buy a nokia N8 feel after reading your cristism about smart phones? you blog just don't belong to you so go ahead and feel the pulse of the reader to heal them with proper dose of interesting and enticing articles. Make your reader appreciate it enough so that they DO active subscribe you.
3. Break break break all rules!!!! .
Who says you can't write a post that is all questions? Or go off topic when something important has happened in your life? Or devote a whole post to recognizing someone who doesn't get much attention?
Or maybe leave the sugar coating at the door and tell bloggers to stop making certain mistakes—because it's sickening and their mama wouldn't approve?
Who says you cannot lie about feelings or speak your heart out so blatant that your own feeling will feel the spikes. there are no rules in Love , War and writing Is a combination of fatal passion and devious war.
4. Change things from what they are…
Try something new. Hey, you may bomb, but you'll be in good company. Like the crazies throughout history, you'll find some things work and some don't. You just keep trying.
If you are a 1,000-word blogger, try saying it in one paragraph. Or go with images with short captions and make that your post.
Or ask your readers to write your post for you. You pose a question and let them provide their answers in the comments. Take one of the most interesting comments and write a new post with that fresh angle. Change predefined and ages assumed definition of things from your point of view. if you into fiction , redefine love and craziness associated with it. Don't speak of lust , these days everybody is doing that ( Read I to had a love story and you will regret it forever) speak about the unspoken love, a whole lot of people will associate with it. GO!! make the diffence , because that is the key to your blog's slumber's lock.
5. Get a little 'crazy.
Does something bug you? Make you sad? Blog about it.
Show a little emotion because that brings us closer to you.
Come on. You know you want to.
Talk about a practice or strategy in your industry that drives you nuts. Tell us why. Describe your frustration when the Indian caste quota system drove you nuts , all general category people will come and vote for your blog. don't speak about Anna Hazare, everyone is doing that off late. Speak about you experience during you stay In INFOSYS, definitely all have a similar story . Or how pathetic is was to arrange for accommodation when you Hopped to AMDOCS Pune. Life in YAHOO! blore was unexpectedly far from a bliss. say thing which peole can connect to and love to read more. Don't just scribble how much pleasure you get ogling at your neighbours daughter or how pathetic your boyfriend has become after marriage. it happens to everyone and no one wantes to read everyday in a blog paying for the 3G.
Go! wake up ! there lot of virgin topics to write on . Just make the right move.

During the later years of the Vietnam war, a little-known but powerful rebellion developed within the ranks of the US forces. In this two-part episode, we talk about the GI resistance to the war with Jerry Lembcke, a Vietnam army veteran, now sociologist and author, and Bart, a navy veteran about their experiences.
