Overview Overview of WSAC and Goals Dual Credit in Washington Expanding Dual Credit Effective Practices Proposed Policy Changes and Next Steps 2
The Washington Student Achievement Council 3 Created by the Legislature in 2012Our Mission: We advance educational opportunities and attainment in Washington. In pursuit of our mission, the Washington Student Achievement Council: Leads statewide strategic planning to improve educational coordination and transitions.

Overview and Goals
Two educational attainment goals for 2023: All adults (25-44 years of age) in Washington will have a high school diploma or equivalent. Currently at 89 percent. At least 70 percent of Washington adults (25-44 years of age) will have a postsecondary credential. Currently at 50 percent. 4

Streamline and expand dual-credit opportunities 13 Streamline and expand dual-credit and dual- enrollment programs to create a statewide dual- credit system available to all high school students. Expanding Dual Credit
Criteria for a new system Clear information about each option. Low cost to students. Adequate funding to maintain high-quality options. More options, available to more students. Streamline processes for getting college credit. 14 Expanding Dual Credit
Faculty Qualifications Full-time and part- time faculty at institutions of higher education, including adjunct faculty, are eligible to teach program courses. College in the high school – Rules RCW 28A.600.290 (3) (i)RCW 28A.600.290 (3) (i) College or University Day – Definition WAC 392.169.023 WAC 392.169.023 15 Expanding Dual Credit
National Standards and Accreditation 17 Standards covering: Curriculum Faculty Students Assessment Program Evaluation www.nacep.org 16 Effective Practices
National Best Practices – College Campus based Programs The Education Commission of the State recommends 13 State Level Policy Components to Increase Student Access and Success. The Running Start Program aligns with 11 of the 13 policy recommendations.
ECS Access Recommendations and Running Start Alignment All eligible students are able to participate. To ensure program access, state law must be unequivocal on this point. Student eligibility requirements are based on the demonstration of ability to access college-level content, not bureaucratic procedures or non-cognitive factors. Caps on the maximum number of courses students may complete are not overly restrictive. Cost should not be a driving factor for states to establish caps. Students earn both secondary and postsecondary credit for successful completion of approved postsecondary courses. While it may sound obvious, such policies are not universal. All students and parents are annually provided with program information. Less-advantaged parents are typically less likely to be aware of dual enrollment opportunities. Counseling is made available to students and parents before and during program participation. State policies should promote the availability of counseling. Effective Practices
ECS Access Recommendations and Running Start Alignment continued Responsibility for tuition payments does not fall to parents. Requiring parents to pay tuition up front and receive reimbursement later may preclude participation by some students. Courses meet the same level of rigor as the course taught to traditional students at the partner postsecondary institution. Instructors meet the same expectations as instructors of similar traditional postsecondary courses, and receive appropriate support and evaluation. Districts and institutions publicly report on student participation and outcomes. Only 30 of the 47 states with state-level dual enrollment programs require such reporting. Postsecondary institutions accept dual enrollment credit as transfer credit, provided measures of quality are ensured. More than 20 states require dual enrollment credits to be treated for transfer credit in the same manner as credits earned at the receiving institution. Programs undergo evaluation based on available data. Nearly 30 states require dual enrollment programs to undergo internal or external evaluation. Districts and postsecondary institutions are fully funded or reimbursed for participating students. At least one state is tying full funding to course quality. Effective Practices
Maine's High School Aspirations Program: 653 participants Key Similarities: 11 th and 12 th graders are eligible Students are responsible for their transportation, books and food cost Key Differences Admissions policies established by law requiring at least a 'B' average. University of Maine: GPA B average, Counselor Recommendation The state pays 50% of the tuition for 3 semester credits Students can take a maximum of 6 credits a year Homeschooled and private school students are typically not eligible How other states are addressing the issue of access. Effective Practices
Georgia's Move On When Ready: Established 2009 serving 3,390 students Key Similarities: 11 th and 12 th graders are eligible Admissions policies established by postsecondary institutions School districts must accept credit State pays tuition and fees Students are responsible for their transportation and food cost Key Differences Enrolled students cannot register for high school courses Private and homeschool school students are not eligible Qualified low-income students can qualify for a grant to cover the cost of books Private institutions participate in the dual enrollment program How other states are addressing the issue of access. Effective Practices
How other states are addressing the issue of access. Wisconsin's Youth Options: 3,600 participants Key Similarities: 11 th and 12 th graders are eligible Admissions policies established by postsecondary institutions Ex: University of Wisconsin Madison GPA 3.00 and exhausted their high school curriculum in the subject School districts must participate State pays tuition and fees Students are responsible for their transportation and food cost Key Differences The school district determines what courses are eligible. Students cannot take courses offered by the high school The school district must pays the cost of tuition, fees, and books Student must pay for post-secondary course comparable to course offered by the high school Transportation assistance is available for low-income students Private and homeschool school students are not eligible Private institutions participate in the dual enrollment program Effective Practices
Minnesota's Postsecondary Enrollment Options: Established 1985; 7,471 participants Key Similarities: 11 th and 12 th graders are eligible Admissions policies established by postsecondary institutions Ex: Rochester Community and Technical College: Juniors 3.0+ GPA, Seniors 2.5+ GPA School districts must participate State pays tuition and fees Students are responsible for their transportation and food cost Key Differences The state pays the cost of books The state covers the cost of consumable supplies for the course Low-income students can qualify for mileage reimbursement State institutions are not allowed to charge mandatory fees or fees for placement test How other states are addressing the issue of access. Effective Practices
DUAL CREDIT WORKGROUP Intended output Recommend policy or legislative language to create a dual enrollment/dual credit system meeting the criteria described in the Roadmap: Provide clear information about each option in ways that empower high school students to choose the option best suited to their goals and schedules. Provide low-cost options for high school students and their families. Ensure adequate funding for high schools and postsecondary institutions to maintain high-quality options. Increase the availability of all options to more high school students. Streamline processes for obtaining postsecondary credit. 24 Next Steps
Dual Credit Workgroup (cont.) Intended outcomes Increase high school student enrollment in dual credit courses. Increase the amount of college credit awarded to high school students. Increase diversity in the student enrollment in dual credit courses to reflect local demographic 25
Proposed Policy Changes 28A.150 BEA enhancement. High school retains 1.0 Adds.3 to provide funding to the college, of approximately the current tuition of $350 per student, per course, being paid by students for College in the High School. 28A.600 College in the High School defined: dual credit, on a HS campus or HS environment, includes both academic and career and technical courses (formerly known as Tech Prep). 26
Proposed Policy Changes (cont.) 28A.320.196 Academic acceleration incentive fund: may include RS transportation and books. 28A.600.290 Adds WSAC to list of agencies to develop rules. Adds ICW institutions to be consulted during rules development. OSPI shall adopt the rules. CHS open to 9 – 12 graders (previously 11 – 12 only) Dual credit info must be provided beginning at 8 th grade. RS defined: only occurs at college or university (or college environment) 27
Proposed Policy Changes (cont.) 28B.77 December 2015 report to the legislature. WSAC reports additional recommendations on RS and AP/IB/Cambridge, with a focus on reducing barriers to low income and minority student participation. Reporting requirement expires on January 1, 2016. (No ongoing reports.) Null and void section. Without the enhanced funding, eliminating tuition in CHS will not work. 28
Next Steps WSAC Council members vote on moving legislation forward October 8 th, at Pacific Lutheran University Public meeting, you are welcome to attend Meeting materials: http://www.wsac.wa.gov/2014-meetingshttp://www.wsac.wa.gov/2014-meetings Dual Credit workgroup met on Friday, September 26 The workgroup will continue to meet through the summer/early fall of 2015, and will then make recommendations to the Council on any further policy changes needed.

Maybe we're just cynical, but it looks to us like the County plans to pay up to $131,000 plus benefits for an additional management position so that a former Supervisor's Chief of Staff can coordinate a conference for the California Association of Cities—Orange County.
Brandman's Incomplete Contract Work Riles Supervisors
by Editorial Staff •
After reviewing Brandman's draft report, Supervisor John Moorlach estimated it could have been prepared in approximately five hours. At a going-rate of $200 per-hour, the work submitted so far should not have cost more than $1,000…
Waiting for Smoke From the Hall of Administration

Supervisors vote to impose contract terms on county attorneys
by Editorial Staff •
Yesterday the Orange County Board of Supervisors voted to impose their last contract offer upon the county attorneys bargaining unit after the union rejected the proposal. For the past year the county has been negotiating with all bargaining groups representing county employees.
OC Register Ad Policy Looks To Curb Negative Political Attacks
by Editorial Staff •
Apparently an ad that calls out the only two responsible council members remaining who's action to award a $158 million tax subsidy was voided by a judge because the issue was not properly noticed as required by the Brown Act violates the OC Register's advertising sensibilities and hence its policy.
I'll take this job for…
by Editorial Staff •
Yesterday we learned an interesting detail about how the "Negotiators" on the Orange County Board of Supervisors go about hiring a new CEO. Rumors have been floating around the Hall of Administration that the new CEO would be paid enough to offset the amount that they must pay to cover their share of their pension benefits.
Hiring A CEO: A Lesson in Transparency?
by Editorial Staff •
Today the Orange County Board of Supervisors will be discussing both the compensation for their new CEO and the appointment of that CEO, the latter in closed session. With all of the kerfuffle over the severance package and compensation that former CEO Tom Mauk received, one might think the Board of Supervisors would not try to ram anything through at the last minute.

It is hoped that this layout can be used as a quick reference guide in making your choice of teaching destination. The list of jobs is only a fraction of those available and is merely intended to provide the applicant with an idea of what is expected from them and what they can expect from a prospective employer.
English Teaching Jobs
ExpandTerms of employment and rates of pay for each TEFL job will of course vary according to location and the qualifications of the applicant. On completion of one of our courses, graduates will be equipped to obtain teaching jobs globally. There are some areas of the world where there is a higher need for English teachers than others, such as Asia, South America and Europe. There are also some countries in which teaching opportunities will be offered in public schools, community colleges and institutes of further and/or higher education. In other countries there is a high demand for teachers at private language schools and in house at private or multi-national companies. Whichever location you choose you can be assured that the professional level of training and learning acquired on our course will put you in the top bracket of demand in the English teaching profession. It is accepted that the hardest part of entering this area of the teaching industry is the actual TEFL course. Our course has been developed over time to be as professional, practical and effective as possible to help you over this hurdle and to make you a more desirable candidate for prospective employers.
After Teaching English
ExpandPeople with knowledge of the TEFL/TESOL teaching industry agree that, on average, people teach English as a foreign language for between one to three years after which 80% return to their country of origin to obtain employment. This is because employers see time spent teaching English overseas as an invaluable asset which is integral to their process in deciding who to choose to fill a job vacancy. It shows initiative, ambition and commitment in an applicant. It also enhances the existing respect that teachers are shown the world over. Many TEFL teachers go on to obtain further qualifications, leading to employment as fully qualified teachers in various institutions in their home countries or privately to individuals or companies.
Up to 20% of English language teachers progress to further qualifications in teaching English as a foreign language, such as a Dip TEFL, MA TEFL and MA TESOL. Jobs for English language teachers are currently on a dramatic increase in English speaking countries due to economic and business reasons, giving you the ideal opportunity to put your skills to the test in your home country.
Obtaining further qualification such as a Dip. TEFL will include a number of observed teaching techniques and practical training, whereas a MA TEFL or MA TESOL is more theory orientated. Whichever further qualification you may choose to pursue will open more windows of opportunity to you in the English teaching job market and vastly improve your terms of employment. Examples are (Assistant) Director of Studies, Teacher Trainer, Curriculum Designer, Materials Producer and Language Centre Manager. Universities and organisations in oil rich countries also offer employment on extremely favourable terms with high salaries to MA qualified teachers.
TEFL Job opportunities by region
There is a huge array of job opportunities on offer as most Asian countries are experiencing a boom in demand for suitably qualified native teachers of English. The current increase in demand is reflected by the fact that the salaries on offer could be said to be the highest in the world.
Qualifications required to teach English are specific to the requirements of each particular country. The majority of the economically developed countries such as Japan, Korea and Taiwan insist on a university or college degree, in addition to the 4 week teacher training certificate. Salaries in such countries tend to be higher as they need to be internationally competitive and standards (therefore costs) of living are higher. By contrast, countries such as China, Thailand and Vietnam have a cheaper cost of living and therefore salaries are lower. However, the diversity of culture, as well as the opportunity for new and varied experiences often features higher in such countries.
The fact that the first language in this region is English means that the focus in the USA is for teaching English as a second language (ESL). The huge demand for ESL means that nearly all universities and colleges run an ESL program, as do a variety of government and charitable organisations. This is the major difference from other regions where teaching is mainly language school or business based.
The Central and South American regions provide diverse teaching opportunities. EFL teachers are drawn to these regions because of the cultural diversity and Latin values. The low cost of living means that salaries go further but most schools in the region do not have the finance to advertise job opportunities internationally so employment is usually obtained 'on the spot'.
The natural choice for a lot of people as rates of pay and conditions of employment are high and there is less of a cultural upheaval. It goes without saying that employment opportunities and teaching prospects are diverse in this region. EU nationals will find it easier to find employment but there are also many jobs available to teachers who are not from EU member states.
The relatively recent change in the political climate has led to a western style consumer driven economy in many parts of this region, meaning that there is now a great need for English language teachers, especially in the commercial sector. EU and non-EU nationals will find a wealth of opportunities in almost every country in this region.
Further details of countries in which there is a huge demand for EFL teachers are given in the Teaching English Abroad section of this web site.

The Observatory for the Protection of Human Rights Defenders, a joint programme of the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) and the World Organisation Against Torture (OMCT), has received new information and requests your intervention in the following situation in Belarus.
New information:
According to the information received, on August 14, 2011, the detention of Mr. Ales Bialiatski was extended to two months by decision of the Prosecutor, after Mr. Bialatski was officially charged under Article 243 part 2 of the Criminal Code ("concealment of profits on an especially large scale") on August 12.
Mr. Bialatski remains detained at the detention centre #1 of the Interior Ministry, located in Valadarski street, and which is known for its harsh conditions of detention.
The Observatory calls for his immediate and unconditional release, as his arbitrary detention seems to merely aim at sanctioning his human rights activities.
The Observatory recalls indeed that this criminal case against Mr. Bialatski was opened by the Belarusian authorities on the basis of information related to Mr. Bialatski's bank account, registered at DnB NORDs bank in Vilnius, Lithuania. The Belarusian tax authorities interpreted the amount on the account of Mr. Bialatski's as his personal income and accused him of concealing it.
In reality, this money, which was transferred by international organisations, was by no means used as personal funds but to finance the legitimate human rights activities of the HRC "Viasna", such as assistance provided to victims of the political repression in the post-electoral context.
The Observatory recalls that Mr. Bialatski has always acted in accordance with international human rights standards and in particular with the provisions of the United Nations Declaration on Human Rights Defenders adopted by the UN General Assembly on December 9, 1998, which states that "everyone has the right, individually and in association with others":
"to promote and to strive for the protection and realization of human rights and fundamental freedoms at the national and international levels" (Article 1);
"to form, join and participate in non-governmental organizations, associations or groups" and "to communicate with non-governmental or intergovernmental organizations" (Article 5(b) and (c));
"to offer and provide professionally qualified legal assistance or other relevant advice and assistance in defending human rights and fundamental freedoms" (Article 9.3(c));
"to solicit, receive and utilize resources for the express purpose of promoting and protecting human rights and fundamental freedoms through peaceful means" (Article 13).
However, in Belarus, the legitimate use of these funds is in reality made illegitimate by repressive laws aiming to silence civil society activities.
It is indeed only because Belarusian independent human rights organisations, including the HRC "Viasna", are confronted with systematic refusals of registration, and because Article 193.1 of the Criminal Code of Belarus criminalises activities "as part of an unregistered organisation", that the funds dedicated to the human rights activities of the HRC "Viasna" had to be transferred on this Lithuanian bank account.
Background information:
On August 4, 2011 Mr. Bialatski was arrested in the street by the police representative of the Department of Financial Investigations.
On the same day, a search was carried out in Mr. Bialatski's house. Meanwhile, the police was waiting at the offices of the HRC "Viasna", where Mr. Bialatski was to be brought just after the search of his home, for a search of the office.
On August 5, 2011, Mr. Bialatski was transferred to a cell within the Financial Investigation Department of the State Control Committee, before being remanded in prison for ten days in the detention centre of the Interior Ministry.
Actions requested:
The Observatory urges the authorities of Belarus to:
i. Guarantee in all circumstances the physical and psychological integrity of Mr. Ales Bialatski as well as of all human rights defenders in Belarus;
ii. Release Mr. Ales Bialatski immediately and unconditionally since his detention is arbitrary as it seems to merely sanction his human rights activities;
iii. Put an end to all forms of harassment against him, and more generally against all human rights defenders in the country;
iv. Comply with all the provisions of the United Nations Declaration on Human Rights Defenders, in particular with articles mentioned above;
v. More generally, ensure in all circumstances the respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms in accordance with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and with international and regional human rights instruments ratified by Belarus.

At a panel discussion hosted by the Greens and the European Free Alliance at the European Parliament yesterday (19 October), Ugo Bassi of DG FISMA, the Financial Services directorate of the European Commission, was questioned on the timetable for PRIIPs, as the uncertainty is causing big problems and adding to costs across the industry.
In response, Mr Bassi said that they are working with the ESAs on a revised set of Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) to take account of the concerns raised by the European Parliament. Subject to any unforeseen issues, the plan is to have the RTS adopted by the Commission "by February", at which point the Parliament and Council scrutiny period will start. The Commission is "considering whether this means we need to propose a slight delay" of 6, 9 or 12 months to the entry into force of the Level 1 regulation, so that it comes into force at the same time as the Level 2 implementing rules.
The Commission is likely to propose new RTS in parallel with "another quick fix like the one we had in MiFID" on condition that the legislators commit only to reopening discussion on the date. This is the first time we have heard anyone from the Commission commit to delaying PRIIPs until the Level 2 rules are in place. If we take Mr Bassi's words at face value, it also means that only those changes demanded by the Parliament and Council will be considered, but we will need to wait to see if that includes the calculation of transaction costs and the SRI scale, among others, or if it will focus only on the return scenarios and the treatment of MOPs.
Prior to giving a deadline of February for the Commission to adopt the revised RTS, Mr Bassi said "we hope to adopt it...in the coming weeks", so hopefully the discussion at the Commission on 22 November will shed a lot more light on this.

Little Pieces of His Heart[CD]~ Phil SampsonProduct Notes
Phil Sampson is arguably one of Oklahoma's finest singer songwriters. Phil grew up in the Chickasha area before settling in Lawton after college with his wife Susan. In the late '60s he played the folk coffee house circuit from Lawton to Weatherford and other college towns. In 1971 Phil went to California with a notebook full of songs to visit his old friend Rudy Ramos. Rudy was playing the character of 'Wind' in the TV show 'High Chaparral.' Rudy also recorded a rock album 'Hard Knocks and Bad Times' that featured six of Phil's songs. Shortly after the album's less then spectacular release in June of 1972 Phil returned to Oklahoma to begin again. Phil soon started playing at a new bar in Medicine Park run by a few recently discharged Vietnam Vets called the 'Prancing Pony.' Out of this hole in the wall came the great band, the 'Medicine Park All Boy Derelict Band' and many of Phil's great songs. This band consisted of : Phil on vocals and rhythm guitar, Mark Paden on vocals and lead guitar, Bill Russell on vocals, auto harp, and guitar, Steve Grunder on vocals and bass, Mike McCarty on vocals and drums, and rounding out with Lewis 'Rug' Eckert on blues harp, vocals, comedy and general mayhem! This band with some substitutions played through most of the 1970s, appearing occasionally as Boswell and the Bush Pilots (Grunder and McCarty left to play with Blue Rose Cafe from 1975-'77). In 1981 while Mark Paden was in Nashville writing and trying to promote his own songs he ended up getting Phil his biggest break by including one of Phil's songs, 'I Loved Them Everyone,' on the tale end of one of Mark's demo tapes. This song became a multimillion seller for country star, T. G. Shepard. Now the rest of the country knew what all the 'Medicine Park' fans had known for years; Phil Sampson (and for that matter, Mark Paden) turned out some phenomenally great songs. Phil tried being a staff writer in Nashville for awhile, but it didn't really suit his style and he soon returned home to Oklahoma and his family. Phil continued writing and performing back home while raising his family. In the mid-1990s, his friend Roland White of the Nashville Bluegrass Band included Phil's 'I Ain't Goin' Down' on their Grammy Award winning album,'Waitin' For The Hard Times To Go.' This stock pile of great songs was recorded between 1995-1998. The Medicine Park All Boy Derelict Band's reunion album 'Highway 49 Revisited' was released in 1993 that featured fifteen more of Phil's classic tunes. Phil still plays regularly with Boswell and the Bush Pilots and as a duo with his long time friend, Lex Hazlewood at clubs around Lawton.

Turkish jets bomb Kurdish PKK rebels near Iraq
- 14 October 2014
- From the section Europe
Turkish F-16 and F-4 warplanes have bombed Kurdish PKK rebel targets near the Iraqi border, as their ceasefire comes under increasing strain.
The air strikes on Daglica were in response to PKK shelling of a military outpost, the armed forces said.
Both sides have been observing a truce and it is the first major air raid on the PKK since March 2013.
Kurds are furious at Turkey's inaction as Islamic State (IS) militants attack the Syrian border town of Kobane.
Fighters from the PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party) have been aiding Kurdish YPG militia in Kobane and Turkey has refused to help supply its long-standing enemy with weapons or allow Kurdish fighters to enter Syria.
Two PKK commanders wounded in fighting were arrested by Turkish authorities when they arrived for treatment in hospital in south-eastern Turkey, Anatolia news agency reported.
Separately, some 260 YPG militiamen were arrested when they crossed into Turkey last week, although 60 of them were allowed to go back, Turkish media reported.
French President Francois Hollande appealed to the government in Ankara on Tuesday to open its border, as US-led fighter jets continued to target IS fighters in and around Kobane.
The air raids on PKK positions near the south-eastern village of Daglica on Monday caused "heavy casualties", Hurriyet daily reported.
The strikes followed a three-day PKK assault on a military outpost with heavy machine guns and rocket launchers, it said.
Clashes were also reported between the PKK and troops in the Tunceli area of east-central Turkey on Monday, far from the border.
Last week Kurdish protests gripped Turkey's Kurdish-majority south-eastern provinces. At least 31 people died in widespread street clashes, as Kurds vented their anger at Turkey's passive policy over Kobane.
The army imposed a curfew in some areas. But some of the fighting was reported to be between PKK supporters and Islamist Kurds sympathetic to IS.
Heavy fighting has been raging in Kobane since mid-September, as Syrian Kurds battle to defend the town against better-armed IS militants.
Turkey treats the PKK as a "terrorist" organisation and its leader Abdullah Ocalan is in jail. But he has been Turkey's main point of contact in peace negotiations since he was incarcerated in 2012.
The PKK - also labelled "terrorist" by Western governments - has been waging a 30-year insurgency for self-rule in eastern Turkey. The unrest has killed more than 40,000 people.

How to respond when a client says, "We're going in another direction"?
It's OK if a client says this, according to Mike Jeffries of Rivers of Revenue, a marketing firm that works with remodelers across the country. "You can use that as an opportunity — if you've set it up — to ask what you could have done better."
By "setting it up" Jeffries means relationship-building and establishing trust with the client from the start. "Genuinely take an interest in the prospect," he says. "It helps to pay attention. Is there a basketball hoop? A garden? Find a natural connection like food, sports, or family."
More trust
Jeffries believes that if you don't get hired it's because while the prospects may have trusted you, they trusted someone else more. (Unless they are choosing strictly by price — and that's not your client anyway.)
But if prospects say they "want to go in a different direction" and you've built rapport, "You can ask what you could have done better or discuss what would have changed their mind," Jeffries says. "At the very least you'll get solid feedback, even if they choose someone else."
Finding Out Why
Call and say: "If I could have just five minutes of your time, I'd like to find out why you decided to go in a different direction. I'm not trying to change your mind. We're just trying to become a better company." People are expecting a hard sell and this approach disarms them.
Prospects also feel bad about turning someone down. Give them an out. Just before you get to the proposal stage call and say: "Thanks for your time. My estimate is free, but my time isn't. Can I make a small deal with you? [They will say yes.] When I call to follow up, please don't be afraid to pick up the phone. You won't hurt my feelings if you don't hire me, and I would really appreciate your feedback. Are you OK with that?'"
Although you can never completely eliminate the problem, building rapport with the homeowner along the way will certainly help.
—Stacey Freed, senior editor, REMODELING.

Title: | How qualitative data analysis software may support the qualitative analysis process |

Abstract: |
The last decades have shown large progress in the elaboration of procedures for qualitative data analysis and in the development of computer programs to support this kind of analysis. We believe, however, that the link between methodology and computer software tools is too loose, especially for a novice qualitative researcher. It is very unclear to select the proper functions and tools as a support in a specific phase of analysis. In texts, you will find a description of the steps of qualitative analysis, and in separate texts computer tools are presented, but what function or tool to use in what phase of analysis is hardly discussed. In this article, we will elaborate the phases of the grounded theory approach and indicate which of the tools of the computer program Kwalitan is to be used in each of the steps and procedures. We will also show how the functions of the computer program may be used when doing a qualitative analysis according to three other approaches, namely summarizing analysis, ethnographic analysis and narrative analysis.

By my calculation, I will need (for 2litres)
740ml IPA
300ml IPM
300ml IPP
200ml Oleic acid
200ml PG
160ml DMSO
100ml D-limonene
By my calculations I have plenty.
Now, firstly is my mix the best it could possibly be. Would you make any changes? Secondly, how much active could I fit in 2 litres?
I plan to break it down into 8 250ml containers. Would 50mg/ml be a good number to shoot for
Also, is it ok to just mix it all in a big tub, shake, and then pour into smaller tubs?
Please do not comment on my age, this is for future use. As the PH ban is approaching, I want to stock up.

Go behind the scenes of the Harry Potter films and get an additional insight into the making of the movies as Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter presents annual and one-off special features throughout 2017.
See authentic props, costumes and sets on the tour of the studio where all eight Harry Potter movies were made, and discover the films through the eyes of the filmmakers who brought the Harry Potter series to life. The limited-time features listed below are all included in the standard studio tour ticket prices.
Directing Dobby
4 February to 31 March
See the tennis ball and detailed model which together brought Dobby to life on screen, in this special display dedicated to the loveable house elf. Learn the techniques and motion-capture technology used to create Dobby, see the full-size physical model, and make the CGI character copy your every move in an interactive experience.
Forbidden Forest
From 31 March
Leave the safety of the Hogwarts grounds to venture into the depth of the Forbidden Forest filled with mystical creatures. Opening just in time for Easter, this new permanent expansion at Warner Bros. Studio Tour was created by members of the design and construction crew who worked on the original Harry Potter film sets. Step over the twisting roots of 19 giant trees, take a bow before Buckbeak the Hippogriff, come face-to-face with Aragog the Acromantula and take control of the weather in the mysterious forest.
Wizarding Wardrobes
21 July to 4 September
Peer inside the wardrobe of Harry Potter, and take a closer look at iconic costumes from the film series. Hogwarts school robes, elaborate ball gowns, special-effect costumes and more never-before-seen outfits go on display in this special feature, showcasing the craftsmanship and artistry of the team behind the movie costumes. Follow the process from designs to the finished items, and learn how clothes were aged and distressed for different scenes and characters.
Dark Arts
27 October to 6 November
The Harry Potter studio is given a spooky makeover in this chilling Halloween feature. Test your nerves by walking down a gloomy Diagon Alley, avoid the followers of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named who patrol the sets, and practise your wand combat techniques against Death Eaters, as you enter the menacing world of the Dark Arts.
Don't miss Hogwarts in the Snow's return from 18 November, with sets dressed for the festive season, and you can also visit many more Harry Potter locations and attractions across London.

Fifteen separate flood alerts are in force across England and Scotland as the Met Office predicts a wet winter for Britain.
Residents have been told to be on the lookout for flooding as far north as Aberdeen in Scotland and as far south as the River Clyst near Exeter.
A statement posted on the Met Office's blog said that while this winter was unlikely to break rainfall records, there was "increased risk" of wetter weather for next few months compared to past years.
Wales and the North West of England are the only regions of Great Britain to be without flood warnings.
"Recent outlooks have been signalling increased risk of milder and wetter conditions for the past couple of months, and indeed that's what we have seen through October and the start of November," a Met Office spokesperson wrote on the agency's official blog.
The warning of a wet winter is based on the forecaster's long-term predictions.
Reports of a "record-breaking" wet winter were a "misunderstanding", the spokesperson however said.
"After a recent slew of stories claiming we're in for the coldest winter on record (which weren't based on information from the Met Office), there are now stories claiming we're forecasting the wettest winter in 30 years," the spokesperson said.
"That's not the case and appears to be a misunderstanding of our three-month outlook for contingency planners."

So I've been having this problem recently where I get these extremely strange text messages being sent to my phone. They have no sender associated with them, and just look like a bunch of gibberish. Here is a screenshot: So it turns out that I cannot post images or links, but hopefully one of you can look at this: Currently, I am getting the same message multiple times every 5 minutes. At first I just sort of ignored it, and one day I decided I would just go ahead and delete all the messages. As soon as I deleted them, they just kept on coming back at 5 minute intervals. I am on Sprint on the Nexus S 4G (Probably obvious from the subforum). My phone has also been doing other weird things lately. Sometimes when I lay it flat on a surface, it will just reboot itself constantly. I'm not sure if this is related to the text messages or not. Also, the messages only show up in the "Messaging" app which I don't really use. They don't show up in Google Voice at all. Edit: Just did a factory reset, the messages are still coming in.
Your phone is haunted! Lol. But really, that's odd. For the rebooting issue, has your nexus been banged up in any kind of way?
I noticed after deleting some of my text messages (almost 1400) the mysterious messages stopped... weird
I've been getting these 2 lately. The other day I found out my wife has gotten them too (She also has a Nexus S 4G). Oddly enough, we receive them at the same time. This can't be local to the phone if that's the case.
i started getting some of those today. i just deleted them, i didn't even want to try to reply to them. are you also on Sprint?
Yes, I am on Sprint and I did not reply to them. They did stop as of last night. I am going to delete them and see what happens.
Was getting this a couple of days ago every 5 minutes also, was ready to call Sprint but decided to wait one day, have stopped since, think it was something weird going on on Sprints side.
I am having the same issue with my phone. I called Sprint and it is a known issue with the phone and they can repair for $35
I have the same thing. I've flashed the phone and am on the Cricket network, so it's not just Sprint.
If it's a known issue why are they offering to repair it for $35? Thar's a rip-off to me. I've gotten it on both of my nexus 4g's today and I can live without "repairing" them since its not a huge deal.
I had same problem here. After dozens of same text I went to messaging setting and turned off Auto-retrieve completely. After that looks like there is no junk!! Please try and let me know.
Been getting the same problem here too. I get one about once a week, and I believe I've been getting them since the ICS update. I didn't know where it was comming from so I copied the text and replied it back. Haven't gotten one since.
The strange text are weather updates given out from google. The current google published update for our phones makes their weather alert texts become very jumbled and in some kind of coding. Sprint tried a whole bunch of their updates for my phone, but didn't work until the next google OTA update

Montipora foliosa | |
Scientific classification | |
Kingdom: | Animalia |
Phylum: | Cnidaria |
Class: | Anthozoa |
Order: | Scleractinia |
Family: | Acroporidae |
Genus: | Montipora Blainville, 1830[1][2] |
Species | |
Montipora capricornis |
Montipora is a genus of small polyp stony coral in the phylum Cnidaria. Depending on the species and location, Montipora may grow as plates or ridges, appearing to some as a bowl or flower. Undisturbed, the plates expand radially and may encrust over surrounding rocks, shells or debris. These corals are extremely common on reefs in the Red Sea, the western Indian Ocean and the southern Pacific Ocean, appearing as far north as Hong Kong. There are seventy five known species.[3]
Members in this genus are usually thin corals that form leafy, plate-like, encrusting or semi-massive colonies. The colours vary greatly. The calices are less than 2 mm in diameter and are usually well separated by the coenosteum. The skeleton is lacy, the walls are indistinct and the septa, when present are small and in 2 cycles. The columella is rarely developed and the corallites are inconspicuous and appear empty as the polyps are very small.[3] These corals may look different, but are subject to the same dangers that soft corals suffer from.
Like other corals, Montipora corals are colonies of individuals, known as polyps, which are about 2 mm across and share tissue and a nerve net. The polyps can withdraw into the coral in response to movement or disturbance by possible predators, but slightly protrude when undisturbed. The polyps usually extend further at night to capture zooplankton from the water. These corals have zooxanthella, symbiotic dinoflagellates that live inside the tissue of the polyps and produce energy for the animals through photosynthesis.
Montipora genus corals are most common in shallow reef environments with bright sunlight and moderate wave motion. Small reef fishes, such as the hawkfish live near Montipora colonies and perch on the ridges of the coral. Environmental destruction has led to a dwindling of populations of Montipora, along with other coral species. Unlike Acropora corals, Montiporas are more stress resistant, and not especially susceptible to coral bleaching when stressed.
In aquaria[edit]
Most Montipora corals are brown, pink, or green but variants with bright colors or having a ridge color with a high contrast to the core color, such as the rainbow and superman Montipora are more prized by aquarists. Captive propagation of Montipora corals is widespread in the reefkeeping community. Able to endure varied conditions, Montipora corals can be grown by enthusiasts without the use of metal halide lighting. In a well-lit reef aquarium, finger-sized fragments can grow into basketball-sized colonies in 2 to 3 years.
