Rethinking Care in the Community with CareRooms & Biovotion
CareRooms, a UK-based company whose mission is to rethink healthcare and offer choice and dignity for all, has chosen Biovotion as an essential partner in their in-home care business. CareRooms works with homeowners in local communities to transform spare rooms into safe, comfortable spaces. Each one of their hosts is trained and DBS checked, and each room is fully kitted out with the latest monitoring systems to ensure guests can recover in comfort. If needed, care is provided by a separate, CQC-registered company. Who uses CareRooms? Anyone from a discharged hospital patient, to a caregiver seeking respite.
When CareRooms needed a leading wearable physiology monitoring company to complement their model, they felt Biovotion was a natural fit. The Biovotion Everion enables discreet and secure health monitoring, and is built on a sophisticated ecosystem of data collection, transfer, storage, analytics and visualisation. Like CareRooms, Biovotion stands for redefining user experience in healthcare. The Everion is easy for all CareRooms guests to use as it offers automatic connection and operation, wireless charging, and no buttons, tape, or calibration.
The typical CareRooms guest has booked a stay as they require extra monitoring to be able to recover in comfort. So what is being motitored? With the Everion, CareRooms can track a number of parameters including heart rate, skin temperature, stress, blood oxygenation and steps. This provides regular assessments for guests, perhaps more so than they would ordinarily get in a hospital, to ensure they can recover in comfort.
CareRooms offers their services in the UK and can be booked here. They are also rapdily expanding their network of Hosts.

The Seattle Seahawks didn't have a lot of questions surrounding the team heading into training camp, but one of those came into the spotlight last week: backup quarterback.
Seahawks starting quarterback Russell Wilson did not play in last Thursday's preseason opener, a 22-14 victory over the Denver Broncos at CenturyLink Field. Therefore, that brought the battle to be Wilson's backup to the forefront.
As of now there are three candidates for the backup job:
Geno Smith would seem to be first in line as he has the experience.
He's a former NFL starter, compiling a 12-19 record in 31 career starts, all but one of which came with the New York Jets, and last year he served as the Los Angeles Chargers' backup. He played the first half Thursday, going 3-for-9 for 58 yards and also rushing three times for 21 yards.
The 6-foot-3, 221-pounder then underwent surgery to remove a cyst from his knee over the weekend, though he's not expected to be sidelined long.
Paxton Lynch has the pedigree, as he is a former first-round draft pick who was seen as Peyton Manning's successor in Denver.
However, he didn't pan out as planned, going 1-3 in four starts over two seasons, and he sat out last year after being released by the Broncos. He has the frame NFL teams typically look for in a quarterback at 6-foot-7 and 244 pounds, and he was the star of Thursday's game, going 11-for-15 for 109 yards and a touchdown, as well as rushing four times for 38 yards and another TD.
However, his work came against backup defensive players, while Smith had to face some first teamers.
J.T. Barrett was just signed as a free agent, and he didn't play at all against the Broncos.
While conventional wisdom says he was signed just as a practice arm while Smith recovers, Barrett comes with an intriguing background as he was a big-time star at Ohio State, where he set all kinds of quarterback records. And while Smith and Lynch both have some running ability, the 6-foot-2, 225-pound Barrett has the type of legs where he can be the same type of dual-threat QB as Wilson.
Barrett spent most of last season on the New Orleans Saints' practice squad.
This may actually be a race for slowest job in football, as Wilson hasn't missed a start since entering the league in 2012, and he took every single offensive snap for the Seahawks last season. But it's still an important insurance policy.
So who should be Wilson's backup this season? Smith? Lynch? Barrett? Someone not currently on the roster? Seattle went that direction last year when it traded for Brett Hundley during the late stages of preseason.

Genetic Variations on SETD5 Underlying Autistic ConditionsPublished March 6, 2018
SETD5 is a master regulator of gene activity that controls the activity of potentially thousands of other downstream genes in the same cell. Researchers, supported in part by ASF, found that this gene is associated with a subtype of autism that is seen mostly in males and includes intellectual disability and facial dysmorphology. This is […]

text: AMMAN, JORDAN - Tarek al-Masri, a Jordanian lawyer who studied in Egypt, has been closely following the upheaval there with mixed emotions: happy that the Egyptians have finally risen up against an oppressive ruler but worried about a power vacuum in the streets.When he considers a growing challenge to the government in his own country, where the authority of the monarchy is an article of faith, there's one line he won't cross."I'm upset by the social problems, the economic problems, the political problems, and the parliament doesn't represent the people," Masri said. But, he added, "I cannot imagine the country without the royal family. They strike a balance between the people and the government. I trust them."The lawyer's ambivalence is shared by many in this kingdom, where King Abdullah II, a key U.S. ally, has come under pressure in recent weeks from protests by a coalition of Islamists, secular opposition groups and a group of retired army generals who have called for sweeping political and economic reforms.The demonstrations, inspired by the unrest in the region and joined last Friday by thousands across Jordan, reflect growing discontent stoked by the most serious domestic economic crisis in years and accusations of rampant government corruption.Demonstrators have protested rising prices and demanded the dismissal of Prime Minister Samir Rifai and his government, but they have not directly challenged the king, criticism of whom is banned in Jordan. The demonstrations have been peaceful and have not been confronted by the police.In an attempt to defuse tensions, Rifai has announced a package of new subsidies for fuel and basic goods, as well as pay hikes for civil servants, an increase in pensions and a job creation initiative.The king has met with members of parliament and the appointed senate, urging reforms, and officials say he has talked to representatives of various groups, including unionist and Islamists, to hear their grievances, and even visited poor areas to get a firsthand look at people's needs.In his meeting with the parliament members last week, Abdullah said more should be done to address the concerns of ordinary Jordanians, and that "openness, frankness and dialogue on all issues is the way to strengthen trust between citizens and their national institutions," according to a palace statement.But leaders of the protests say the king has failed so far to take substantial steps to address mounting public resentment, and they warn that unless genuine changes are made, the unrest could worsen.Zaki Bani Irsheid, head of the political department of the Islamic Action Front, an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood, Jordan's largest opposition group, said that its main demands were dismissal of the government by the king, the dissolution of parliament - elected in November in a vote widely criticized as fraudulent - and new elections.The opposition is also demanding the election of the prime minister, currently appointed by the king, and amendment of the election law, which critics say is designed to underrepresent opposition elements in the legislature.Abdullah's response so far has been "just a public relations campaign that doesn't solve the crisis," Bani Irsheid said in an interview. "The regime wants a solution without paying the price, and it is offering cosmetic changes. We told them that what was acceptable yesterday is not acceptable today, and what could resolve the problem today may not be a solution tomorrow. Delaying and hesitation will only complicate matters."For now, the lighting-rod for the criticism are the prime minister and members of his cabinet, whom opposition critics accuse of personally profiting from the sale of state companies as part of the king's policy of privatization and free-market reforms to attract foreign capital."It's a club of businessman serving their financial interests," said Nahedh Hattar, a veteran opposition activist. "The king is a member of the club."Critics like Hattar say that the king's policies, and accompanying corruption, have only widened the gap between rich and poor and exacerbated Jordan's economic ills, which include a rising national debt, and high levels of unemployment and poverty.Ali Habashnah, one of the retired generals advocating reforms, said that public resentment has spread to rural areas dominated by Bedouin tribes that have been the traditional backbone of the monarchy and its security forces. It was the first time, he said, members of that segment of Jordanian society had joined with other groups in demands for change.But the generals, who published a manifesto with other retired officers last year outlining their positions, have asserted their loyalty to King Abdullah and say they are seeking reforms under the monarchy. The ruling Hashemite family, Habashnah said, is the only force able to unite a nation made up of disparate tribes and other groups."The Hashemites are the symbol of the unity of the state," he said, but added a word of caution."If things go on like this," he said, "There's no telling what can happen."By Joel Greenberg/ Washington Post

I agree. I could live with Unblockables by reducing its frequency with some moves that increases Blockbuster cool downs but Vampire just makes it...
Good. Rotating gimmick is good. I personally find the opposite with vampire. I find it awards having unblockables way too much.
Is this something that is going to be permanent?
This really devalues healing moves and overpowers unblockable attacks.
I can also see that NPC Cerebella can low swipe after juggle so its likely Player only issue.
Yes, it's pretty random so I can't vid it but here is what I see on my screen (Note Android - Galaxy S7 Edge latest update)

Acquitted of murder but convicted in August of illegal reentry of a deported alien and possession of a firearm and ammunition by an illegal alien
Well-known Belize City street figure, Kenneth "Big Tom" Flowers, was deported last week by US Federal authorities after serving time in Utah for gun and ammunition possession, as well as illegal entry into the USA.
Flowers had been acquitted of a murder charge in relation to the death of Cisco Cross, 45, who Flowers claimed to have killed in self-defense.
A report carried by Salt Lake Tribune said Big Tom, 36, was escorted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to Belize last week.
"He was turned over to Belize authorities for questioning related to gang activities in that Central American country," ICE said.
Apparently, US information indicates that this is Big Tom's third deportation to Belize.
He had been convicted in August of illegal reentry of a deported alien and possession of a firearm and ammunition by an illegal alien, and had been sentenced to two years in federal prison with credit for time already served.
Flowers was acquitted last September of the Cross murder, but he was convicted of the gun and ammo charges.
Flowers' defense attorney told the Utah court that his client had been smoking crack when Cross came to his door with a gun, attempting to fire. Flowers fired his weapon three times and killed Cross – who, it later turned out, had a BB gun, which was found in his waistband.
Big Tom was shot in Utah in 2010. At the time, news reports falsely said that he had been murdered.

It's been such a long time since I've had a Thai Green Curry! The first low FODMAP one I had was gifted to me by FODMAP Easy (Fodmapped For You) and while it was tasty, there is nothing quite like making your own! I've tried a few tweaks to this recipe, but I've now perfected the spice combination which gives the perfect heat combined with the sweetness from the limes and aromatic lemongrass.
I've previously made this curry with king prawns, however I did not let the liquid simmer before serving so it was a little watery. It did still taste amazing though!
The recipe below serves four people, but you could easily adapt this to serve two and keep the leftover curry paste for another day! It should freeze fine, but I might make a really big batch next time and see how it lasts. It is quite a hot curry due the fresh green chillies, so you may want to try three chillies to begin with.
Prepare your chilli paste by adding lemongrass, chillies, ginger, coriander, garlic-infused oil, ground cumin and the juice of 1 lime to a food processor. Blend into a smooth paste.
Add a little oil to a large pan and add the chicken. Fry for a few minutes before adding the Thai green curry paste, chicken stock and coconut milk.
Simmer on a medium heat for 15-20 minutes until the liquid reduces and the chicken is cooked.
Serve with a portion of Thai Jasmine rice (place this into a teacup, press it down with a spoon then invert onto the plate), decorate with chopped coriander, fresh slices of red chilli and a quarter of a lime.
I can honestly say that this curry was delicious! So flavourful and warming. I cooked it for my parents, and although they may be slightly biased, they both really enjoyed it and didn't miss the onion or garlic.
Let me know if you give this recipe a try. If you like it, you may also enjoy my other curry recipes such as my chicken and spinach balti, my mild turkey curry or my king prawn curry. I might try a Thai red curry next time, what do you think?

Chip Simulation is an increasingly important part of semiconductor manufacturing. It is especially true to the global leading semiconductor chip manufacturer, GlobalFoundries who needs to perform chip design verification and tests, which require a large amount of storage and computing resources. GlobalFoundries found that the exisiting chip simulation platform handling a typical calculation task could not meet his the service requirements and affected the chip R&D, testing, and delivery.
With the consumption of electronic products trending towards mobile devices, the demands for small-size and low-power-consumption chips are rising, which calls for higher chip-making technologies. In response, major global chip foundry giants start to develop 16 nm and 14 nm fabrication processes. However, the huge investment on advanced fabrication plants (for example, ten billion dollars for a new plant) poses great operational pressure on chip foundry enterprises.
As a global leading semiconductor chip manufacturer, GlobalFoundries has always invested heavily in advanced technologies. It acquired the IBM chip manufacturing business unit in 2014 to strengthen its expertise. Its 12-inch and 8-inch wafer fabrication plants in Singapore are the most important R&D and manufacturing bases of GlobalFoundries. Facing tough challenges from new fabrication processes and techniques, the Singapore plants were grappling with improving chip simulation efficiency.
Each time after receiving a big contract, the chip foundry enterprise need to perform chip design verification and tests, which require a large amount of storage and computing resources. The existing simulation platform, however, cannot meet the service requirements. The simulation platform has a number of drawbacks. For example, it takes about one day to complete a typical simulation calculation task on the simulation platform. This seriously affects the chip R&D, testing, and delivery. Secondly, the key components, such as processors and memory, of the existing servers have limited scalability, which restricts the expansion of computing and storage capability. The aged server architecture cannot meet service requirements of the simulation platform. Moreover, the chip simulation software provides poor concurrent capability, and its performance and reliability cannot be improved through distributed deployment. To prevent the simulation process from being interrupted, each server must deliver high performance without breakdown.
To improve the performance of the existing simulation platform, GlobalFoundries seek the solution of high computing platform from Huawei. In this solution, Huawei new-generation 8P RH8100 V3 servers and high-performance ES300 V2 PCIe SSD cards are used to replace the original servers on the simulation platform. Under the new computing platform, it supports eight Intel® Xeon® E7-8800 v2 series processors and provides optimal computing capability and scalability. It makes it ideal for large-scale key applications and server consolidation and virtualization. The server also supports 192 DIMMs and provides up to 12 TB memory capacity and 1.2 TB high-performance of the PCIe SSD cards. It eliminates data exchange between processors and hard disks in the calculation process and loads simulation calculation data to the memory at one time and a little process data to SSD cards, reducing read and write operations on hard disks. The server improves the simulation system performance by over ten times.
To ensure IT capacity meets current and future business requirements in a cost-effective manner, the RH8100 V3 supports 192 DIMMs, twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS HDDs, SATA HDDs, or SSDs, 16 PCIe expansion slots, and 40 GE and 100 GE networks. It offers the needed flexibility for future expansion. The RH8100 V3 also supports online maintenance and replacement of the DIMM, PCIe card, hard disk, fan module, PSU, and DVD-ROM drive, preventing service interruption during capacity expansion.
Most fault-tolerant computer systems are designed to handle possible failures, including hardware-related faults, the RH8100 V3 provides 60 RAS features and fault tolerance of chips, such as automatic recovery for processors and links, ensuring stable system operating. It also provides reliability technologies, such as memory mirroring, memory backup, and hot-swapping of PCIe cards. The server is the only server that allows hot-swap of DIMMs, preventing system breakdown caused by memory hardware faults. It also supports hot-swapping of key components, such as PSUs, fan modules, and hard disks, without opening the chassis cover. This enables quick replacement of faulty components during normal system operation.
Aging test is used to help determine the long-term effects of expected levels of stress within a shorter time. Huawei performs full disk read and write tests in addition to common tests for the hard disk aging test. The standard of Huawei's full disk read and write tests is far higher than that of random sector read and write tests in the industry. With high standards of the entire process, Huawei servers offer 15% lower failure rate than the industry average, ensuring reliable running of simulation services for Singapore GlobalFoundries.
Through strict POC tests, Singapore GlobalFoundries started to use Huawei RH8100 V3 servers and ES3000 V2 PCIe SSD cards for simulation services from 2014. Huawei servers build an efficient chip simulation platform for GlobalFoundries. The new chip simulation platform reduces the time for handling a typical calculation task from one day to one hour. The new server supports 192 DIMMs, twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS HDDs, SATA HDDs, or SSDs, 16 PCIe expansion slots, and 40 GE and 100 GE networks. It offers the needed flexibility for future expansion. Huawei servers offer 15% lower failure rate than the industry average, ensuring reliable running of simulation services.

text: elvis and the marant shoes by Krystal Bick November 14, 2018 Today, I have a story about Elvis and a pair of Isabel Marant shoes. At the time, Elvis was still very much a puppy, maybe 8 months or so. We were living in San Francisco and he was my first "I'm an adult and I'm getting a dog!" dog — and despite the long nights of potty training woes, far more wee wee pads than I would ever like to recall and the one time he ran away from me in a park and I had to chase him for 10 city blocks, crying the whole way because I was convinced he had been hit by a car, he was (and still is!) worth every second. That is, until the night of the Isabel Marant shoes. It was a typical Friday evening and after getting home from work, my boyfriend at the time and I decided to head out for dinner. We walked Elvis right before, making sure he had done his business before we would be leaving him alone for a few hours in the apartment. Up until that point, he hadn't touched any of the things in my closet, but I was still in the habit of putting items away, just in case. We kissed him goodbye and didn't think twice about leaving him. Fast forward to later that evening when arriving home and my eyes landed on the following items in this exact order: 1.) my latest Isabel Marant shoes, chewed and discarded around the apartment 2.) my Celine sunglasses that must have fallen out of my work bag on the kitchen table, also chewed, pieces scattered on the floor and finally 3.) a mauled chocolate bar wrapper, which must have also fallen out of my work bag, slobber still fresh from the incident. I went from angry, to angrier to instantly thinking he was going to die from the chocolate bar. My tears were uncontrollable while we called my vet as fast as we could, all the while, Elvis sat in a corner, aware he had done something wrong, but confused by all the concerned, doting attention he was getting. As you might have guessed, Elvis made it through. We took him to our vet for monitoring the next day and despite being a little shaken up from the whole order of events, he was his normal, happy go lucky self. And I, his worried mama, was SO relieved. Since that fateful day, perhaps out of courtesy for me or for fear he'd be whisked away to the vet again, Elvis hasn't touched a pair of shoes since. Not a single pair. Or Celine sunglasses either. I wish I could say the same about chocolate, but that's another story, for another day. Out of respect for my shoes though, I always make sure Elvis has some sturdy toys to chew on, especially when I know I'm going to be gone for the afternoon. Friends of mine have recommended BARK before, a monthly subscription service for dog toys and treats, so when their team approached me about having Elvis try their Super Chewer box, I was intrigued, especially since Elvis breezes through chew toys and bones like nobody's business. First, some details that really caught my eye and won me over initially — I'll share Elvis' thoughts below 🙂 All treats are free of soy, wheat and corn, made in the USA and Canada. Furthermore, all meat is naturally sourced and sourced in the USA. Monthly boxes are thematic and perfect for the season (did you notice Elvis' Max reindeer antler from The Grinch?) Each Super Chewer box comes with 2 very durable toys, 2 full sized bags of treats free of wheat, soy and corn and 2 chews, all over $50 in value For a 6 month subscription, it comes out to $34 per box, billed on a monthly basis and gets as low as $29 per month for a 12 month subscription So what did Elvis think? We had a heart to heart, and here are his high level thoughts: While he understands the cute factor of it all, he wasn't a fan of the antler. (This was expected, but he did indulge me a tiny bit and he posed for some quick photos with it on.) BUT, he was a fan of the treats, especially the Duck Duck Feast ones. YUM! He LOVED the meaty chews — each box comes with 2. He's had 1 so far; we're saving the next one for a special occasion. Best part? They're all natural. He's still working on his toys, which are proving to be quite durable! Made from all rubber and nylon. My true test as to whether or not he likes a toy? He has this one hiding spot underneath my rolling rack where he'll take his favorite toys. I call it his "Man Cave." He took all of his new Super Chewer box toys into the cave. Plus, best part? If your dog happens to chew through all their monthly toys, Super Chewer will send another toy, free of charge, to hold them over until their next box. Super Chewer is currently offering a special Grinchy offer with the standard Super Chewer box containing two toys, two tasty full bags of treats, and two meaty chews. Sign up here. Do any of you dog parents out there subscribe to Super Chewer? Would love to hear your thoughts and your dog's thoughts!

Where, oh where has my Forum gone?Posted by Julo at 10:23 PM
Oh where, oh where can it be? For at least two days now, the pastor's wives forum has been down. No one knows why, and it makes me feel all sad inside. I usually check it multiple times a day, especially while nursing baby girl. I don't think I realized how big of a role it played in my life. I've been a member since it started, back in July. Having no forum has made me even more thankful for Amy, for creating it, and for Joann and Alida who are our moderators. I hope it comes back soon. There are few places I feel like I can be so honest (and laugh so hard!).

What a relief! I was hoping nothing terrible happened to her or her family. You just never know...You know that when 3 rolls around, it will be like thirsty women going to the well...
If I've already done the 7 things (crickl got me) should I do 7 more? What's the protocol? :)

I am about to DIE without that forum! I would like to contribute financially to it. Does Amy have to pay for anything? I'm technologically impaired so I have no idea. I'll do anything to keep it going. - Jewels.

i've just added tumblr to my everlasting list of online connectors. i now have this blog, twitter, fbook, flickr, and i'm sure i just disconnected myself from a bunch more because yes, just what my title entails i've lost my password, username and i can't for the life of me remember why i even started that page in the first place.
i remember eo-last year, i cleaned out my inbox for gmail. i signed up to so many newsletters, which i thought at the time was useful to get notifications for. but the more in line i am to these updates, nothing really changes in the real world. they just get added on to the list. & then it's on to the next one…
it's hard to get your life together, i get it. specially when you have too many distractions. & it's funny cause we do it to ourselves. we don't stray away from these distractions, they obviously don't just appear before our eyes, we invite them in. we embrace them with open arms. thinking back to what we would do without them.
that's all there is now. some people worry about being alone, about being bored (at work for sure) but outside of that 9-5 job, you my friend are just wasting your time. i am the type of person who does not keep lists, well i lied, i do but i never look at them ever again after creation.. because again easily distracted me, is already on to the next one.
you will never like your life if you compare it to someone better and you will always think someone elses life is better than yours because you hate the life you're living. it's easy to chant, i love my life, i love my life but everything is disposable. again… on to the next one. One minute you are happy and the next you are miserable as heck. grown ups (mentioning as if i'm not one _yet) make it look so effin easy & i thought i figured it out but they have insecurities too (it never ends does it). but i guess if you're working towards something or someone like a dependent i guess you would look very put together too.
so i guess let's make some babies. but honestly, i'm not ready for that. i can barely wrap my fingers around being married. being a slave to someone other than myself. being affected by what the significant other is doing to themselves (i know i sound like i don't have a significant other _& yet i do). i will rant about him but he's not nearly where i want him to be and heck neither am i. I have people to look up to but i can't, i chose not to effin grow up. i want to be a baby for life.
*ends run-on rantings

Today's card uses an image that was just perfect for a technique I had been wanting to try- coloring with mica powder.
These flowers reminded me of springtime hyacinths, so I wanted to color them purple. To make the flowers pop, I used mica powder from QKR Stampede on black cardstock and adhered it using Sticky Powder, also from QKR Stampede. The process is very quick and easy. Taking a picture of it, on the other hand, is hard!
The Delicate Asters Paper Collection was perfect for this image and the colors I used. The sketch is from Cardabilities~

This thesis focuses on how photomontage has been used by certain artists during periods of political unrest and artistic revolution. For the purposes of this study, "photomontage" is defined as any artwork into which a photograph is collaged in order to construct a political narrative. The photograph(s) may come from the mass media, or it can be privately created. This thesis is concerned with more than photomontage as a means of creating overtly political art, however. Specifically, Chapter One provides a general overview of the artwork and writing of the most politically motivated of the Dadas in Berlin, with particular attention to the work of Heartfield. Chapter Two examines the differing styles and goals of Hannah Höch versus the other Berlin Dadas, including Raoul Hausmann, with whom she worked closely from 1915 until 1922. Chapter Three is given to Kurt Schwitters, whose strong opinions about mixing art and politics provide a useful foil to the prevailing attitudes among his fellows. The final chapter considers photomontage as practiced by Martha Rosler in her "Bringing the War Home" works.

is believed that authentic reading materials can link students to contextual
use of English, as they can improve students' communicative and cultural
competences. Related to point, this is very important to highlight the
investigation on teachers' beliefs about authentic reading materials as it is
reflected through the teachers' expectation and how they manifest them in
classroom practices. This is a case study of four teachers who teach English at
public senior high school in Samarinda, East Kalimantan. The study explores the
beliefs of these teachers about authentic reading materials in their classroom
practices. The data were taken from a semi structured interview, classroom
observation, and teachers' written documents. The study revealed that there
were three themes of teachers' beliefs emerged, (1) types of authentic reading
materials, (2) skills to be improved after reading, and (3) teachers'
challenges of using authentic reading materials for the classroom-bases. It is
noted that some of classroom activities do not match with the teachers' beliefs
in terms of classroom policy, teaching strategy, and reading stages.

studies believed that students should have abundance exposures to use of
English in real context (Beresova, 2015; Ersanli, 2016, Ahmed, 2017). These
exposures are used to fill the need for being able to communicate confidently
in English. In fact, Hymes (cited in Beresova, 2015) argued that communicative
competence does not merely involve understanding of the language but the
necessitate for contextualized communicated and soon it leads to the influences
of linguistic and social norm in discourse and speech acts which later on it
will act in relation to social structure, values, and social cultural order and
the rules of a community. Teachers must
provide as many as possible materials with relevant contexts for their
students. This is done to provide the choice of words in constructing of
meaning. One of materials used is authentic materials.
fact, selecting authentic materials for language learning, especially for
teaching reading in EFL context becomes an issue in language teaching. Teachers
are put their concerns on this. They are aware that the use of authentic reading
materials can support students to learn and read language in a natural way.
From the researcher' observation, it is quite often teachers struggle to
search, select, and modify authentic reading materials in their teaching
practices. It is necessary for teachers to consider authentic reading materials
consist of extensive vocabularies and appropriate sentence structure for their
students' level. Learning to read a language in a natural way is conducted by
bringing the world outside into a classroom language. This becomes the focus of
the functional use of authentic reading materials.
is often, if not many, when teaching reading text teachers integrated authentic
materials in their teaching practices. They are aware that familiarizing
reading texts in the real usage contexts provide students with real exposures
of English. Students are able to link the knowledge of world outside with the
their classroom knowledge (Abdulhussein, 2014; Harmer, 2001; Wong, Kwok, &
Choi, 1995). In addition, authentic reading materials support students to
acquire their communicative competence in using English (Guariento &
Morley, 2001).
authentic reading materials are often found to be culturally biased. Teachers
admitted that they have to adjust the semantic structure of authentic materials
with their students' level (Kilickaya, 2004). This means teachers have to
paraphrase certain words found in authentic materials which beyond the
students' knowledge with the words that their students familiar with.
Certainly, it takes time. Teachers need some effort to take authentic materials
as their teaching material. For that reason, this study aims to explore the
beliefs held by Indonesian teachers about the use of authentic materials for
teaching reading in EFL context.
(in Paltridge & Phakiti, 2015) argued that beliefs held by teachers is part
of teacher cognition that defined as social mental image of experiences which
were reflected in teachers' decision of language instruction in their teaching
practices. On the other hand, beliefs are considered as a set of proportions
which are obtained from one's previous experience as a learner (Thomas, 2013).
teaching a language, beliefs are the bridge between knowledge and action;
between what have been known with what will be presented. Beliefs can present
what knowledge which worth and should be presented in action (Larenas, et al.,
2015). In fact, Kumaravadivelu (2012) discerned beliefs into two types, core
and peripheral. Core beliefs is assumed to be more influential in shaping
teachers' language instruction, while peripheral can cause incompatibility
between what teachers assert they do and what they actually practice in the
classroom. This becomes the indication as teachers' reflection of their
beliefs. It is assumed that the compatibility between what beliefs held by
teachers and how they practice their beliefs in classroom bases can help people
understand of what teachers have understood and how they put the knowledge into
action in teaching and learning process (Farrell, 2013).
to authentic reading materials use for teaching reading, beliefs held by
teachers becomes the issue in EFL context. Teachers are expected to use
authentic reading to stimulate their students' interest to read English text
since the students will be assessed in the end of their learning stage.
Therefore, in this study, the research question is addressed to explore the
manifestation of teachers' beliefs about authentic reading materials:
What are beliefs held by teachers about authentic reading materials?
research subjects for this study were four English teachers who teach English
at senior high schools in Samarind. The
researcher set the criteria for the sake of this study. All research subjects
who were willing to take part in this study have more than 10 years teaching
experience. They should be certified and followed more than one trainings or seminars
in teacher's professional development. Before the interview and classroom
observation were conducted, the teachers had submitted their consent form. They
may in any time withdraw from this study as well, if they did feel comfortable.
observation, teaching documents prepared by the teachers, pre and post
interview were used to obtain the data. The researcher made an audio recording
and field note of the teaching reading practice and also transcribe the
pre-interview and post-interview in order to make the observation accurate.
Before the researcher examined the classroom practices, pre interview to each
teacher was conducted. This was done to administer the teachers' conceptions of
authentic materials for reading used in the classroom practices. After that,
the researcher observed the teachers' classroom practices to see the
manifestation of teachers' beliefs about authentic materials for reading. Post
interview was conducted to verify teachers' classroom activities with the data
taken from the pre-interview and to clarify activities that do not compatible
with the teachers' beliefs. The researcher classified and grouped the data
based on themes emerged in this study.
Related to teachers' beliefs in using
authentic materials for reading, three themes emerged, (1) types of authentic
materials, (2) skills to be improved after reading, and (3) teachers'
challenges of using authentic materials for teaching reading.
(1) Types of authentic materials
There are two types of authentic reading
materials used by teachers in teaching literacy, print (in a form of flyer, flight schedule, menus) and
auditory (songs) materials. It is
assumed that authentic reading materials are not created specifically to be
used in the classroom, but they are believed to become excellent learning tools
for students to have an exposure to the real uses of language.
It is revealed from the interview, teachers
believed that they quite often rely on their teaching materials from the
textbook. It is a well prepared material for teaching. They admitted that they
also used authentic materials to support their teaching practices, especially
when they want to introduce their students how English words are used as a mean
of communication.
They believed such printed authentic
materials such as newspaper, flyers, magazines, maps, brochures, and invitation
will assist students to be familiar with the real uses of English. The students will also learn new vocabularies
from such text. They believed that by providing authentic materials students
will be able to understand the text by looking at the medium used (Laurillard,
2013). This can be seen in the excerpt below.
…..familiar with the real uses of English can help
students to understand when and how to use words of English. (it is) easy for
them understand the text when they see the real form…you know..for example when
I teach the topic about "Giving information", it is easy when I bring like ..an
invitation..and ask my student to give the information about the invitation…it's
like catching their mind to speak about the topic…
In fact, based on classroom observation,
it is noted that teachers mostly used song as authentic materials in the
classroom. After the students listened to the song for several times, the teachers
asked students to complete the missing words from the lyrics. Then two or three
students were asked to read it aloud. In one of several meetings, the teachers
highlighted some unfamiliar words to their students, or sometimes the teachers
addressed to their students to identify unfamiliar words to be discussed
classically. Based on the information from the lyrics, the teachers constructed
questions. They did this to assess their students understanding of the song
(Carter, et al, 2016).
…A song is a good medium to teach English. Everybody
loves singing. This always success bring the mood of my class..
…it's pretty easy to find a song for teaching
English words, the students learn how to pronounce, the vocabularies, the
tenses…yes…I used some of sentences taken in a song to teach grammar….it always
catch my students' attention….in fact, I have to be careful in choosing the
one teacher initiated to bring a travel magazine in her classroom. She admitted
that she got the magazine when she travelled with a certain flight. She took it
from the plane. She did that because she thought that she could make a use of
the travel magazine in her class.
….I had this when I travelled by plain… I think this magazine can be used in my class…it is
colorful, full of pictures and information about places in the world…I want
students to be familiar with English by bringing the world to them…
the use of newspaper written in English can be one of sources of authentic
materials, teachers found difficulties to find one in Samarinda.
…..For teaching reading, I knew I should use
newspaper written in English because it has lots of texts which I could use to
teach the comprehension of the text…however, it is difficult to find news
agency selling that kind of newspaper…
2. Skills to be improved after reading.
There are some skills improved after
reading authentic materials, vocabulary knowledge, Scanning-skimming reading
strategy, and critical thinking.
2.1 Vocabulary Knowledge
All teachers believed that authentic
materials for teaching reading can increase their students' vocabulary
knowledge (Kennedy, 2014). They offer wide range of vocabularies. Students can
expand their knowledge of how to use the words in appropriate contexts.
Teachers noted that authentic texts motivate students to acquire new words. It
is often found that authentic texts use a variety of different text structures.
……authentic materials covers a lot of vocabularies
compare to textbooks, students may experience themselves with a wide range of
words which they can learn when and what to use the words in ( which) context…
is one of good exposure for teaching students about latest information from the
newspaper. Since textbooks need a long time before having revisions, magazines
or newspaper are believed to have the most current information (Sham, 2016).
Authentic reading materials can empower students with abundance of words that
will enhance their use in the target language. Guo (2012) investigated that
authentic materials can improve vocabulary knowledge, reading speed and reading
habits. It is concluded that an increase of vocabulary affect students reading
2.2 Scanning-skimming strategy
are believed to be able to practice scanning and skimming strategy when they
read authentic reading materials. As a way to look at a text rapidly to get a
general idea of the texts, skimming is needed for students. Teachers believed
that students can improve their skimming strategy ability after they have
massive exposure to authentic materials because it needs a greater degree of
reading and word recognition skills (Urquhart & Weir, 1998).
….Although skimming is always introduced every
time….my students must have as many as possible exposure of real texts because
I want them familiar with the real uses of English….you know I believed it can
help them since the students will find information that interest them…
materials provide interesting information for students about many things in
daily bases. Therefore, they can practice skimming important information from
authentic texts that interest them. Students can practice how to look only for
general or main ideas, gather the information to get the summary about the
…..It is a good practice for students in which
they can practice for their real life…they don't have to read for
everything…just find the gist from the news…
believed that students can manage the time efficiently when they students how
to skim the information. They are aware that this strategy can help students
when they have to read a text in a specific time, such as in a reading test
(Liaw, 2017). Along with skimming, scanning is another beneficial strategy that
can be utilized. To comprehend the text, sometimes students have to be aware
with specific information provided. Through scanning, students can practice how
to get specific piece of information about the text.
Critical thinking
Comprehending complex, content-rich
text critically is an important necessity for students' academic performance
and their life-long skill. However, they often fight very hard to comprehend
these texts. As a matter of fact, this skill is required to complete such
reading tasks, for example identifying information, analyze arguments, deriving
inferences, or acknowledging the sources (Li, et al, 2016). The complexity in
vocabulary and structures of authentic materials train students to understand
the text. Consequently it leads students to think critically about the text.
……Yes it (authentic reading materials) consists of
complex vocabulary and structure, but this is a good a way for my students to
practice their critical thinking over the text….you know sometimes they have a
good imagination about the text…this happens when they are interested with the
text or when they have known about the text…I mean they have previous knowledge
about information provided in the text..
It is believed that authentic materials
provide greater opportunities for real uses of English as a means of
communication (Sánchez, P?rex, & Gómes, 2010).
In addition, through authentic materials students are able to develop their
understanding of cultures which it can derive their motivation to learn the
argued that critical thinking is very important when teaching a language in
nowadays classroom. As the illustration, students were used to learn
listen-repeat patter to acquire basic vocabularies when they were in a very
basic level. It does not require critical thinking at all. However, as the
students begin to progress their language understanding skill, they enter more
complicated tasks which contains elements such as personalization,
investigation and problem solving then they must have critical thinking to
overcome them. To this point, authentic reading materials provide authentic
communication which brings students' creativity to analyze and respond.
3. Teachers'
challenges of using authentic materials for teaching reading.
Authentic materials can be used as a
medium for teaching a language since it can bring the content of life. This
makes the language learning more meaningful. However, this is not easy to
utilize authentic materials in classroom bases. This study identified
challenges faced by teachers when utilizing authentic materials, they are (1)
students' unfamiliarity to the topic, (2) cultural awareness introduction to
students, and (3) lack of time in searching, selecting and modifying the
Students' unfamiliarity to the topics
Students need their previous
knowledge to help them understand the text. However, authentic materials often
provide less familiar topic for students. Therefore, it is a teacher's
responsibility to modify the topic of authentic materials to be suited to the
students' background knowledge.
….the topics (of authentic materials) sometimes
beyond students understanding, so, before I used it for my students I always
modify it first….
often experience difficulty to understand the information provided in the text
when they are unfamiliar with the topic (AlAzri, 2014). Reading a text needs an
extensive background knowledge. This helps students to understand the topic of
a text.
3.2 Cultural awareness introduction to
Authentic materials often expose
culture of English with less proportional to students' understanding.
Therefore, teachers need to introduce the cultural awareness to students. The
cultural background information is needed to understand the content of a text.
…..explaining the cultural is a must, you know
sometimes it is the text discussed about the topic that my students never have
experienced before…like "Halloween", so I have to describe the culture before
asking them reading the text..
Knowing the culture of target
language can make students understood the adequately (Godwin-Jones, 2015). It
is noted culture is part of language. Teachers should integrate culture when
they teach a language. This is done so that students can build their linguistic
and cultural competence of English.
3.3 Lack of time in searching,
selecting, and modifying the authentic materials
Teachers need effort to search,
select, and modifying the authentic materials. They admitted that they were
able to do it in their spare time during teaching hour. In fact, the time is
very limited because they found abundance of authentic materials that they can
use (Asmari, 2015). However, they cannot use them all. They have to be selected
and modified carefully to be suited to students' level.
…..I have to be smart managing my time to find
authentic materials for my teaching….yes they are many…but still I can use them
directly…I still need a modification so my students can learn from it…
is assumed that beliefs aligned with the real practices. In fact, there are
some conditions that make beliefs have to be adjusted to be implemented in
classroom practices. This study revealed that teachers performed
self-adjustment toward their own beliefs about the use of authentic materials
for teaching reading. They limited their beliefs on students' capability to
digest information and technical challenges when searching, selecting and
modifying the authentic materials.
should have a good self-management in utilizing authentic materials. There are
many aspects needed to be considered such as the vocabulary level, topic
familiarity, cultural awareness, sufficient time, and technological pedagogical
knowledge. For the latter, it is needed when teachers wanted to integrate
authentic materials in a form of technology for their students.

Robots vs. Knights
J*Rod replied to DarkeSword's topic in CompetitionsI'll give it a shot then
As it stands, I was going for consistency, as if played by a band. I'll try and vary the textures a bit more across it, but I'm satisfied with the general lineup. The pumping is something I've struggled with for a while, but I think with this next version I've all but eliminated it. That's part of the reason I layered the two leads in the bridge and outro. I'll see about livening them up early on. I can see how it could. Energy was my overall second goal, but with my choice of lineup it'll be a pretty tall order. Thanks again you two! I'll have a new version done in n
Eval: Built up lacking sections and finalized the whole track for evaluation!
V5: Finally came up with a bridge to flesh out the whole skeleton of the track. More leads may come in later for the new section, but I'm satisfied with the structure.
V4: Make of V3 what you will. Added a second verse. Still stuck on a good bridge.
V2: Just added a few things to thicken it up.
Half-Life - Forget About Hostiles
J*Rod posted a topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!Original Track: Nuclear Mission Jam - Kelly Bailey Remix: Current Version: [eval] Past Versions: [v1] [v2] [v4] [v5] I'm hoping to slowly build a personal anthology of remixes based on games released in 1998. This first presentable one is from Half-Life, a classic shooter with a relatively underutilized score. After several months of tweaking and building on it, I'm confident in its eval status. A few elements were influenced by the sequel's CP Violation. Please let me know what you think of it as it's been made! Thanks!
wip Whirlwind - Spyro the Dragon [Blowhard]
J*Rod posted a topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!Stewart Copeland's compositions are quite amazing. So I thought I'd piece together a remix of one of the Spyro 1 tracks I found to be quite easy. It's just the first minute right now, though. I though I'd tweak as much as I can early on. Latest version Source
OCR02413 - Crash Bandicoot 'Hogging Molly'
J*Rod replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Comments/ReviewsWhoa, thinking that I wouldn't hear any more of Flogging Molly after discovering Devil's Dance Floor, I was genuinely surprised that such an energetic style was brought to an adaptation of Crash Bandicoot's awesome music. Nice work! I'll certainly have another track to listen to repeatedly.
RECRUITING Crash Bandicoot 3 Project
J*Rod replied to uhhh6677's topic in Recruit & Collaborate!I'm personally really interested in the idea of a Crash 3 soundtrack. I'd love to offer a composition for the Cortex boss, but seeing as it's already been taken, and my relevant WIP is a mash-up between the Cortex themes of Crash 2 and 3. Good luck anyways!
wip Crash Bandicoot - The Mind of Cortex [first remix]
J*Rod replied to J*Rod's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!I agree I could probably invest in better sounds, though it probably won't be for a while. But if anyone would like to help out, cause this composition is too far ahead to crash down on my watch. I'll keep working on the composition itself, and I might be able to upload a complete one soon.
wip Crash Bandicoot - The Mind of Cortex [first remix]
J*Rod replied to J*Rod's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!Alright then, I dumped the idea of mixing the Egypt track, instead staying with the other 2 tracks. I filled up the percussion a bit more, but it's probably the hardest for me to make sound right. Anyways, here's the latest version. Hope you like it!
wip Crash Bandicoot - The Mind of Cortex [first remix]
J*Rod replied to J*Rod's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!Alright, I've changed a few things in the early part, and added a section to the end that includes an element from a new source: Here's the new link: http://www.filedropper.com/themindofcortexwip2 I couldn't get tindeck to upload the new file for some reason, so it's on FileDropper now.
wip Crash Bandicoot - The Mind of Cortex [first remix]
J*Rod replied to J*Rod's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!Well, I've had GarageBand up trying to think of how to continue this track. In the meantime, I've been traversing the IRCs seeking harsh criticism, or at the very least a response. Been fixing a few hiccups in the composition, and I might have a new version up at some point. Thanks!
wip Crash Bandicoot - The Mind of Cortex [first remix]
J*Rod posted a topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!Hey guys! I've been quite a fan of OC ReMix for a while, even befriending sephfire through Extra Credits. However, I do admit that my own composition skills are way below average, and my tools are limited. I did put a lot of effort into this remix, though. So I'll just get this over with: Sources: Tools: GarageBand Latest version: WIP 3 Notes: I started out just remixing the Crash 3 track, since that was the only Naughty Dog era game I played. However, I randomly found the Crash 2 theme and became hooked just as much on it. I since started incorporating them together into the same track. I

The Nike Air Jordan 1 Bred Toe drops Saturday, February 24.
Spare yourself the pain of an "L" because these will be a general release.
Yes, you read it right. According to Sneaker News, the highly anticipated Nike Air Jordan 1 Bred Toe might be easier to cop than you think.

While there may be enough stock to go around, the sheer beauty of this release could mean that these could sell out fast too. So don't take your chances when it drops on Saturday.

With the release last month of the latest PISA (Program for International Student Assessment) results by the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development), it is apparent that many of the highest achieving students in the world are in East Asia.
Just as in the recently released TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study) results, Singapore leads the world in every subject in PISA, outperforming other economies and countries by a significant margin. Students in Singapore perform at a level that is up to two years ahead of their regional and OECD counterparts in science, mathematics and reading. Moreover, almost all Singaporean students have reached a basic level of proficiency or higher. And they just keep getting better, having significantly reduced performance below basic proficiency.
Japan also outperforms most participating economies in science, mathematics and reading. However, its score in reading has declined since the last round. Still, as in Singapore, 90% of students have reached a basic level of proficiency or above.
PISA is a triennial international survey launched in 2000 which aims to evaluate education systems worldwide by testing the skills and knowledge of 15-year-old students. In 2015, over half a million students in 72 countries and economies were assessed in science, mathematics and reading.
Overall, East Asian economies dominate, with 7 of the top 10 entries.
In science, not only do the high income East Asian countries (e.g., Singapore, Korea, Japan, Hong Kong SAR China) dominate, but, for the first time, Vietnam enters the top 10 as well. This is quite an accomplishment for a relatively lower income country. Vietnam's performance continues to be significantly above average for its income group and above many high-income countries. Its science score remains about a year above the OECD and regional averages.
Prior to 2015, Shanghai was the sole representative of China in PISA and demonstrated exemplary performance. This has been well documented. This year four provinces and cities participated in PISA–Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu and Guangdong. Their performance was well ahead of the OECD average.
But there are challenges
Other East Asian countries do not fare as well. Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand participated in PISA 2015 but all three are performing below the level expected given their level of income. The performance of students in each subject continues to lag the regional and the OECD averages by 2 to 3 years. About 50% of the students are below the basic proficiency level, making them almost functionally illiterate when it comes to 21st century skills. This is despite having completed nine years of elementary and high school.
In Thailand, scores in science and reading declined significantly while scores in mathematics have decreased slightly. While Indonesia has seen significant test score improvements–science test scores have…

Chatham Celebrates A Fabulous Fourth
By: Tim Wood
CHATHAM – The scene was quintessentially American and particularly Chatham: thousands of people lining Main Street, many in red, white and blue garb, flags galore, clear blue skies and a light sea breeze. A perfect July 4 for a perfect Independence Day parade.
With more than 100 entrants and some 2,000 participants, ranging from kids in mini-cars to the town's oldest resident, the parade had something for everybody with its theme of "Chatham for the Holidays." Organizers said the one hour and 45-minute procession went smoothly, with no incidents reported, and the crowd about average for a Chatham July 4 parade, about 25,000 spectators.
"It was just a gorgeous day," said Independence Day parade committee chairman Brad Schiff. "It was one for the ages."
Judges Ginny Nickerson, Don Aikman and Colleen Cronin awarded the overall best in parade trophy to the Bog Lane Farm float, which celebrated the cranberry with a tableau featuring a cranberry harvest, Thanksgiving dinner and folks dressed as cranberries with "Cape Codder" on one side and "Just Add Vodka" on the other.
The Phillips Farm Family won second place, and Chatham Pottery awarded third overall.
In other categories, winners were Ken Owens Memorial Soccer Jamboree for Best Youth Float; John Cassaboon for Most Patriotic; the Fitzgerald Family for Best Small Float; Cape Cod Beach Chair for Best Large Float; Best Civic, Friends of Monomoy; Funniest went to the Return of the Bridge Street Buccaneers (last year's overall winner); and the Best Family Float was awarded to the Magner Family.
Award recipients will be recognized at the July 11 board of selectmen's meeting.

Montgomery Police Chief Ernest Finley hasn't had an alcoholic drink in over 20 years.
He recalls it was New Year's Eve. He says it was a commitment to himself and his family.
"I've seen with wrecks, I've seen it ruin police officers lives as well. You know, alcoholism and judgement," Finley said.
Finley wasn't an alcoholic but for him it was the right thing to do.
Doing the right thing – it's a message he now delivers to people who are struggling with addiction. Speaking to groups like the Council on Substance Abuse is a calling for Finley.
"Just to have those conversations with those men and women in that group, no one is being judgmental. And listening to their life experience, you know, I feel for them. Because I want them to be a success; I want them to be clean and sober," Finley says.
Finley encourages people who are struggling to take it one day at a time.
