October 17 - Sir Philip Craven, President of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), has claimed discussions to introduce events for deaf athletes into the Paralympics are ongoing and could be successful by the time of the 2020 Games in Tokyo.
But the International Committee of Sports for the Deaf (ICSD) claimed that they had been led to believe that no such process was currently underway.
"It is an objective to get some events for deaf athletes into the Paralympics," Sir Philip said.
"There has been communication about events being brought back [and] discussions will be ongoing."
Sir Philip highlighted a meeting he had with the new President of the ICSD, Russian Valery Rukhledev, during the International Olympic Committee's annual Session in Buenos Aires last month to illustrate that talks were underway.
"There will be a minimum of seven years of discussions, so it is not something likely for 2016 but it could be in future years," said Sir Philip.
But Mark Cooper, chief executive of the ICSD, claimed that they had not been informed of any roadmap that would see them make their debut in the Paralympics at Tokyo 2020.
"ICSD has never been given a minimum amount of time for membership by the IPC," he told insidethegames.
"In broad terms we asked before London 2012 about adding events for deaf athletes and were told then that there was not enough time to do so.
"We asked what the procedure currently was and were told that no procedure was currently in place and that we should await further clarification from the IPC."
Although originally forming part of what was then know as the International Co-ordination Committee of World Sports Organisations for the Disabled (ICC) deaf events broke away in 1996 following the formation of the IPC in 1989.
Cooper remained adamant that if deaf events were returned to the Paralympics then it would still not spell the end for the Deaflympics - which were first held in Paris in 1924 so 36 years before the inaugural Paralympics at Rome in 1960.
But he conceded "it has since become clear that the Paralympic Games has garnered a lot of attention and a higher profile".
The Deaflympics in Sofia this year enjoyed far less media attention than the Paralympic events at the Anniversary Games athletics in London, for example.
Cooper particularly pointed out the case of Britain where UK Deaf Sport lost its £42,000 ($68,000/€45,000) annual grant from UK Sport in 2008 as the support was focused on London 2012.
British athletes travelled to the Deaflympics in Taiwan in 2009 without any National Lottery funding at all, and although they now receive annual support from Sport England this is for talent development and was not put towards sending competitors to Sofia this summer.
Cooper claimed there would have to be talks with the IPC regarding issues such as classifications because there is only one broad category for deaf athletes "not multiple ones for degrees of impairment like with visually impaired athletes."
Talks on the issue are already ongoing with other International Federations.
"We have had an invitation from the World Taekwondo Federation for example regarding events for deaf athletes at the Para-taekwondo Championships," said Cooper.
"Unless we hear anything we will continue with this core mission, which is focusing upon the Deaflympics, the World Championships and with working with other organisations in order to provide the high level opportunities for our athletes."

UK Finance Minister George Osborne faced controversy Monday as allegations resurfaced about him taking cocaine with a former madam.
Natalie Rowe gave an interview to Australian channel ABC1 in which she says that she saw Osborne taking cocaine in 1994, when he was in his early twenties.
"I said to George jokingly that when you're prime minister one day I'll have all the dirty goods on you," Rowe claimed in the interview. "And he laughed and took a big fat line of cocaine."
She also said that their relationship became "more than" friendship.
Osborne's office did not return calls from CNBC.com asking for comment on the allegations.
The allegations resurface at a time when the Conservative government in the UK is already coming under criticism for therelationship between the News of the World newspaper and several politicians, including Prime Minister David Cameron, in the wake of charges that the newspaper illegally hacked the phones of celebrities, politicians, victims of terrorist attacks and dead British soldiers, among others.
Some of the allegations leveled at Osborne were published in the News of the World in 2005, while Andy Coulson, who later became Cameron's director of communications, was editing the tabloid.
Coulson quit Downing Street earlier this year after new allegations emerged of phone-hacking during his time at the News of the World.
Rebekah Brooks, former chief executive of News International, the division of News Corp which owned the tabloid, said during testimony to a parliamentary committee earlier this year that it is a "matter of public knowledge that George Osborne had the idea" to recruit Coulson.
Rupert Murdoch, founder, chairman and chief executive of News Corp, had to appear in front of a UK parliament committee alongside son James to answer questions about the hacking scandal.
Rowe, who has a child with a friend of Osborne's, William Sinclair, said that she was one of the victims of phone-hacking by the News of the World.
She had been in negotiations with the tabloid to sell her story, but eventually sold it to the rival Sunday Mirror. However, her story appeared in the News of the World on the same day as the Sunday Mirror.
The News of the World ran an editorial piece on the story which said that Osborne "was a young man when he found himself caught up in this murky world." The article also said that he "robustly condemns drugs for the destruction they wreak."
Rowe, who has alleged that the News of the World learned she was publishing her story by hacking into her voicemail, has hired Mark Lewis, a lawyer working on behalf of many of the alleged phone-hacking victims, and is seeking compensation from News International, owned by Murdoch's media empire, News Corp.
Lewis's other clients include the family of Milly Dowler, the murdered schoolgirl whose case sparked a fresh wave of phone-hacking claims that led to the News of the World being permanently closed this summer.
When the alleged details of the Osborne story first surfaced, in 2005, Osborne confirmed knowing Rowe, who ran an escort agency called Black Beauties, but said that allegations that he took cocaine with her were "defamatory and completely untrue."
He said: "Twelve years ago a friend of mine went out with a woman called Natalie and they had a child together. I met them together occasionally in the autumn of 1993, and it soon became clear that my friend had started to use drugs. He became more and more addicted and I saw his life fall apart. I tried to persuade him to seek treatment. Eventually he did ... That is, and always has been, the sum total of my connection with this woman."

Politicians, not murderers, hold nation to ransom
THE EDITOR, Sir:
The burden of the writer of the Gleaner editorial titled 'Timid leadership and lazy Parliament' (January 7, 2017) has to do with the long-awaited resurrection of the Vale Royal talks.
Based on what was outlined, it is clear that successive governments have played partisan politics with these important and supposedly bipartisan talks and have failed to put forward, and stick to, a firm agenda.
What I have gleaned from reading the editorial is that bipartisan consensus is critical if the talks are to have any chance at achieving meaningful objectives, such as effectively addressing the crazy murder rate, where the funding should come from, what must take precedence in the national interest, how to purge the police force, and the time frame for dismantling the garrison communities meticulously built as aids for our politicians to hang on to political power.
Opposition buy-in
But implicit in the editorial is the importance for the current, or for that matter, past administrations to have the buy-in of the Opposition.
It would seem that opposition parties have the power to, at best, withhold support, and, at worst, even thwart a governmental proposal if the lifeblood bipartisan nature of the talks is missed.
I am bewildered by such prospects when the day-to-day diet of reported murders average four to five a day' and it is anybody's guess as to the rate of unreported murders.
It would seem that much more than the ransom to which the entire nation is held by the rampaging murderers is the ransom to which it is held by the very people for whom many Jamaicans risk their lives to vote for every election cycle.

Haven Road and Fountain Place
For many decades Haven Road had a distinct estuary character. At low tide the mudflats and changing channels of the Maitai River were exposed, while full tide inspired picture-postcard views.
A horse drawn carriage, known as the Dun Mountain Railway Omnibus and later the City Bus, utilised the Dun Mountain line between the city and the port. The bus service was available from 1862 until 1901 and was especially enjoyed by those who liked to ride the knifeboard seat on the roof.
A wooden seawall was replaced by a stone seawall when the Nelson Railway line was extended to the port in 1880. This left the Dun Mountain Line in its original position, now inland from the wall.
Houses and businesses pressed against the pavement on the opposite side of Haven Road alongside one of Nelson's waterfront landmarks, the gas works. Over the years more and more land was reclaimed for port-related industry and Haven Road took on its current landlocked style.
Fountain Place
Number 16 (left) still stands today. The Tyree Studio has it labelled 'Atkinson House'. The shingled roof of neighbouring no.14 is just visible amongst the trees.
Whether or not the children in the photograph of no.16 are Atkinson's is debatable, as are the old stories about which gang was supreme; Beachville youngsters teamed up with Russell Street as 'the Port rats' and fought fierce battles with 'the Wood' gang. Sometimes these battles were fought from dinghies launched, depending upon the tide, off the seawall at the bottom of the streets.
It is unknown how many temporary dwellings were erected in Fountain Place but the oldest building today is the central part of no.21 (left) built in 1862. Here it is about 1886, 'McLauchlan House', photographed by the Tyree Studio. The McLauchlan family added to the house over the next 100 years. The last remaining family member died, aged well over 90 years, in 1983; it is possible the small girl in the photograph is her.
The house behind, no. 23, is known today as 'The Pilot's Cottage', possibly referring to Master Mariner F. Hill who is thought to have built it in 1869. A marine pilot, Captain Crapper, lived here from 1927 - 1937. The house has a Historic Places Trust 'C' rating.
Within the changing character of the Haven Road locality, Fountain Place has retained an historic atmosphere through the preservation of its architecture and an expression of the local vernacular in its modern dwellings. The street was awarded Residential Heritage Precinct status by the Nelson City Council in 1996. Design guidelines have been created to help conserve this very special place.
For many years Fountain Place was named Beachville Avenue and confused with encircling Beachville Crescent.
Local residents looked back to history for a 1986 street renaming. Fountain Place refers to Fountain Square, the area of land within the locality known as Beachville where a fresh water spring was located at the top of the street. The water was favoured for many years by early seamen to stock their supplies before setting out from the wharf; it was said to be a very fine flavour. No doubt this water was appreciated by even earlier inhabitants: the Maori, who settled around Powhai (the land facing the Haven between Matangi Awhio and Russell Street).
There were six recorded pathways from Fountain Place on early plans, their use dependent upon whether one needed to get on foot to the port, Trafalgar Street or Nelson south via Washington Valley.
Beachville Estate
Fountain Place was originally part of a 21 acre block sold to George William Schroder in 1851 granted by the New Zealand Company. Default on his mortgage resulted in a resale; 12 acres was sold around 1861 to John Lewthwaite who created a residential subdivision called 'Beachville Estate'. On the various land titles, rights of way were granted over the roads and six footpaths intersecting the estate, as were rights to draw water from the well.
This text was written for a Nelson Heritage Trust panel situated in Fountain Place in 2004.

The species of fish.
Since the fish bred in aquariums generations, there was a clear tendency to choose the most colorful animals for breeding. So many of the most popular tropical aquarium fish kept today, have more vivid coloration than their wild forms. Modern methods helped to selekcioniruut varieties from original wild forms taken from natural habitat, to new forms, genetically-modified breed, and available for every aquarist.
The science of genetics, explores the possibility that species characteristics pass from one generation to the next. The characteristics of all living organisms, including fish, are contained in genes, which are rod-shaped structures called chromosomes, present in the nucleus of every living cell in the body. Mutations, or sudden changes in genetic structure can occur, and sometimes result in a change in the appearance of fish, such as coloration, body shape and fins. When there is a mutation in certain cells eggs or milk, the change is transmitted to the next generation. Most mutations are only carried out minor changes that can be improved by selective breeding over many generations. In some cases, there may be a mutation that creates a radical change. Yellow Gold angelfish (Pterophyllum sp. var.), resulted from mutations that caused poteryannogo of pigment that normally masks the yellow tint. Mutations can also be harmful, it stands out, in very many groups of fish, where you might get a few deformed individuals.
Genetic modification of fish.
Selection and crossbreeding.
Photo: After the successful varieties, such as this Black Variegated Delta Guppy ( Poecilia reticulata ), it was found that the best parents are selected for each pairing of the future, to ensure that the strain is maintained and improved.
Under normal circumstances, individuals of separate species, breed with individuals of the same species. Sometimes it is possible, to provoke individuals from two different species to mate, creating offspring with new characteristics. This method to create new types of aquarium fish controversial because these fish have never existed in the wild. Crossbreeding is widely used to create various forms of popular viviparous, including the famous Black Mollies, gourami hybrids the most colorful and exciting with the Parrot cichlid.

How to Help a Dog Injured from Electrical Shock
Occasionally a dog, usually a puppy, will bite down on an electric cord and suffer electrical shock, often accompanied by burns. The dog may be unconscious and have burns around her mouth and on her tongue.
If you find your dog unconscious near an electrical cord, turn off the power to the socket before touching your dog.
Examine the dog using the A-B-C protocol — checking airway, breathing, and circulation. Administer CPR if the dog is in shock or is unconscious. When the dog is conscious, give first aid for burns and get her to your veterinarian immediately.

How to Begin
I have spent some time this past week reacquainting myself with my husband. As I have looked through old photos, seen snippets of videos, or even found Emmett's old journals, I find myself remembering Emmett before cancer, and it is like falling in love with a stranger. I had forgotten how his carefree laugh sounded or how much he could eat or how well he played percussion. It was nice to remember life together before cancer, hard, but nice.
Grief is a strange companion. Because of our schedules, Emmett and I were used to long periods apart. So in some ways, I still feel like I am waiting for the full awareness of his absence to fall on me, like I'm walking in some crazy dream. Other times, my heart physically hurts inside my chest as if it is being squeezed by giant hands.
So I come back to writing without any particular words or wisdom to share. I've been swimming in the psalms recently, just to dwell with other writers overwhelmed and disoriented by waves of emotion. When Emmett was helping me with this blog, psalm 51:15-17 came to mind:
Open my lips, Lord,
and my mouth will declare your praise.
You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it;
you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart
you, God, will not despise.
Although this psalm came from a heart overwhelmed with guilt, I find that loss leaves me with feelings very similar to guilt. Not that I feel guilty, but that shame and unworthiness are remarkably similar feelings to emptiness and loneliness. With shame we realize that all our acts are filthy before God, and with emptiness we realize that all our acts are meaningless without God. The awareness of sin brings a profound sense that God does not have to love us (though he chooses to love us rather recklessly), and loss tempts us to believe that God does not love us. So I have been crying out with David for the Lord to open my lips, to delight in my broken spirit, and to restore unto me the joy of my salvation.
I do not know what this blog will become. I don't really much care at the moment. I write to make sense of my life, and so I suppose I will be writing for a long time. Feel free to join me.

I've always said that it is amazing how similar seemingly different emotions feel and manifest. Psalms 51 is a favorite of mine, along with Psalms 91 and Psalms 10:17. Thank you for sharing your journey with us, you put into sensible words things with which my mind and heart grapple. Selfishly, I too hope you do write for a long time, so that you can continue to minister to us who are also journeying to make sense of our lives.ReplyDelete
It is so refreshing to read what you write. I have been going through so much with what Robert has been dealing with it. He deals with it so much better than I do really, and he is the one in so much pain! Often I think he wishes he could just die or if the doctors could just cut something...so to have no feeling whatsoever, and never walk, just be numb. But there is no escape B/C he just doesn't have any disease that will take his life right now. I think you are brave to write about your journey. I have been so quiet about my faith and my feelings, my journey. You inspire me to dive into the Word and get closer to my Heavenly Father. Because he is the one and only...my Everything. My Hiding Place. My Rock. I would have crumpled up into a ball and died of despair had He not carried me through all these months...going on two years now since his pain started. Just recently I have started to have more peace about all this, but it is so hard sometimes. It is a strange way to live. I feel like I am growing cold because I am sort of getting used to his suffering. I don't understand. And what do my children think? They have sort of learned to live with it too. So if they see someone suffering, are they just going to shrug their shoulders and say that's life? Oh Lord, let me be compassionate towards my husband and not forget he needs that so much! As I have heard before when Christ told Lazarus to come out of the tomb, we can apply that to our own lives. It is as if Jesus was saying to me, "Amy, come out of the tomb of self." Take a look around. Be alive.ReplyDelete
Looking forward to hearing about your continuing journey.ReplyDelete
I know we don't speak at church, probably because I don't know what to say to you. I have read your blog faithfully for over a year now and have cared for your family as if we are close friends. We have been praying for your family daily for a long time.ReplyDelete
On the day that Emmett went to be with Jesus, I called Tim and read your blog to him at work. I started crying when you talked about Quinn and had a hard time reading it out loud. Little Josiah came by and listened a while and asked if I was talking about Quinn in his Sunday School class. I told him yes and he said, "But why are you crying?" I told him that Quinn's daddy had gone to be with Jesus. And Josiah, in a way only a 4 year old could bring encouragment, matter of factly said, "But Mommy, he has a new body now!"
"...for of such is the kingdom of heaven."
I needed to share this post with you from our previous pastor, now a missionary in Hungary.ReplyDelete
I have been checking to see if you had started this blog, and I'm so glad you have. I hoped you would explain the title. Beautiful. My favorite part of teaching English is reading what others write, so I know this will be a favorite place of mine on the internet. Thank you for continuing to be willing to share your heart. We all love you.
I am humbled and in awe of our God who is the creator of how many billions of galaxies and cared enough to create the catepillar! (can you tell Im starting Crazy Love?!) Im so thankful how He has opened your heart to share such raw pain and love with us. Words are cheap but I love you and praise the God who loves you too!ReplyDelete
Sweet Wendy, I found myself thinking of you in church this morning during worship. I have found that I can let Emmett go; and truly, I wish I could join him now. But you— I find myself on the edge of tears often, and this morning wept unabashedly as I sang "At the Foot of the Cross":ReplyDelete
Trade these ashes in for beauty
And wear forgiveness like a crown
Coming to kiss the feet of mercy
I lay every burden down
At the foot of the cross
In my mind, I saw you grasping the feet of our wonderful Lord and Savior, even as they were nailed to the cross, and knew that "the feet of mercy" will carry you, not just until the pain lessens, but all the way back to Emmett's side.
I just realized I switched identities on you. Susannah is Suzi Wollman, Emmett's cousin.ReplyDelete
You were in my thoughts and prayers today.
Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and feelings so honestly.
I'm glad you are writing, and I'm gonna keep
checking in.

We all know how important water is for our body. Recommendations of drinking 8-10 glasses of water daily are some to take into account, seriously. Water has infinite benefits for our overall health and beauty.
For all of you wanting to lose pounds or maintain a healthy weight for these next summer days, water is a powerful weapon. It stimulates an optimal metabolism and regulates the level of appetite, reducing hunger cravings. Water also increases energy levels, improving our daily routine, and even helping find workout motivation! It also helps eliminate toxins and waste, which can often cause fatigue if not flushed away.
Besides those great reasons, bones are made up of 50% of water, which means that by drinking more water, our bones and articulations will grow stronger. Also, water is the brain's fuel, and in order for it to work properly, it needs the right amount of H2O to keep functioning at its best.
Still need another reason? Water is a great tool to achieve a flawless skin. There's no need to spend all that money on skin products, facials, and creams, when you can drink enough water and probably get the same results. Water gives the skin a glossy, healthy look by keeping it hydrated and free of waste and bacteria.
We probably knew all of this, and will still choose an iced latte, sangria or cold beer over a healthy glass of water. But try to keep this in mind when asking for a beverage. Or add a little spark of flavor by drinking Lemon Water... it has the same benefits and is a little less boring!

Happy drinking!

The Secret Of High Performance
If you want inspiration on how to be part of a brilliant, winning, growing, thriving team and business, then read on. I have a secret to share that will deliver success. Here it is.
My new business is all about helping leaders accelerate growth. It means I get the privilege of 'looking under the hoods' of more communications businesses than you can poke a stick at. And every time I get asked the same question: "How do we create a high performance culture in our business?"
The answer is simple. Not glamorous. Not sexy 'visions and values nicely framed on the tea room wall' stuff. If you want to build and be a part of a business that is a high performing, winning, leading unit, it all starts with doing this one thing. There is no short-cut.
Fight hard together, shoulder to shoulder, in a tough battle delivering to clients.
It's easy to build mutual respect between colleagues. "I know what you have done and achieved and I respect that." But building personal trust only comes from being side by side in client 'trench warfare.' And mutual trust and confidence in each other is a key to high performing teams.
Australian rugby union coach Michael Cheika sums it up this way:
"Nothing builds a team together more than working hard, sweating a little, spilling a bit of blood together. It builds respect from one to the other. Importantly, it builds trust. Working hard to produce a better place for others."
Yes, rally and focus the team around a common vision. What is our purpose? What are we trying to achieve as a team? What does success look like?
Yes, get clarity around the sorts of behaviours we covet and expect.
Both the vision, and the behaviours we value, give us a clear compass point of direction.
Then get busy together. In the threnches. Dodge together, go forward together, take the hit, show courage, sweat together, spill a little blood together. The happiest, most effective teams I have ever seen always had 10% too much work to do and 10% too much consistent pressure over all they did. The stories I hear told most often when former colleagues regroup for a quiet wine and reminisce are always about those times when the heart was beating fast together, the pressure was on, and moments of truth abounded.
Some of you young guns (and not so young) will giggle and shake your heads in wonder. "Oh you old fart you. So out of date with the modern way of balance and wellbeing. Don't you know that it's all about us nowadays?"
Get real. Of course you need balance (not exactly sure what that means?) and yes of course we all need to take care of ourselves (I do know what that means and am no poster boy for it sadly), but face reality, even if it is a bit of a shock.
If you want to succeed as part of a team, then it is simply NOT about us. About me. About you. Step up. Work hard. Really hard. Work as part of a team. Put the team first. Be prepared to go into battle shoulder to shoulder and to 'take one for the team' when needed. That might mean working an all-nighter, taking the blame for something you did not do, making the tough phone call. It's spilling a little blood together.
Do that and you become part of a high performing team. A team where respect and trust abound. And a team which wants you on it. When you're part of a high performing team, you never want to leave it. And you'll always remember those as the 'special times' in your career.
Just ask any ex-All Black.
I'm going for a cup of tea and lie down. And to thank my lucky stars that as part of my portfolio of interests, I am part of several high performing teams. Early days and just a couple of skirmishes together under our belts. But it's building. It's an honour, and a privilege, and I would never have it any other way.

Cultural transmission theory..also for research about web artifacts?September 27, 2008
Recently i found one paper elaborating Cultural transmission theory (CT) research in the anthropological sciences and outlining the benefits and drawbacks of this theoretical framework for the study of material culture. This framework seems quite interesting for explaining the phenomena in artifact culture of the web communities as well.
Most interesting aspects for me are related with my ideas of 'learning' in niches:
– culture constitutes a second (in addition to genes) mechanism by which inheritance occurs
This claim is well related to the niche construction ideas from other studies and the evolutionary effect of niche construction.
– our analyses should include more than one measure of relatedness of cultural patterns, each valid but representing different information pathways.
This assumption makes me think of the various gradients that define niches, and how these gradients influence each other.
– humans link the difficult information to things they can easily transmit as part of packages, and certain kinds of information will be bundled during transmission.
Is it the 'view' of affordances at some cases, they are somewhat externalized into cultural artifacts meaningful for the other actors coming mainly from this context?
Cultural Transmission Theory and the Archaeological Record: Providing Context to Understanding Variation and Temporal Changes in Material Culture
Jelmer W. Eerkens and Carl P. Lipo
J Archaeol Res (2007) 15:239–274
Explaining similarity and change in artifacts over time has been a long-standing goal of archaeologists.
Culture historians were interested in how these sequences varied from place to place and over time.
New focus now includes explaining other aspects about artifact variability beyond typology, including explaining why artifacts change the way they do.
Culture transmission (hereafter, CT) is simply the idea that similarity in behavior and artifacts may be caused by the exchange of information using a nongenetic mechanism.
Common descent in CT merely refers to the notion that information about material culture is passed between individuals and that similarity in artifact form may be a product of information ultimately coming from the same source.
Similarity in artifact forms over time and space was commonly explained by reference to the diffusion of ideas and information.
Diffusion was considered a general mechanism by which information was passed (or inherited) across and between populations.
Early and mid-20th century diffusion models were focused on the ''culture'' as a unit of study, and ideas were perceived as being diffused in and out of groups of people who comprise sets of bounded entities.
CT today derives from Darwinian models of evolution.
CT consists of the recognition that culture constitutes a second (in addition to genes) mechanism by which inheritance occurs.
CT theory provides a powerful means for linking measures of behavioral similarity and claims about historical relatedness.
Darwinian theory, of which modern CT is a part, is based more on the actions and decisions of individuals.
CT acts to decouple information transfer from biological reproduction and allows information to be continually passed from one organism to another through social learning.
The results of individual learning (i.e., behavior modification) can be transmitted, in the modified state, to other individuals. Through individual learning and CT, organisms can continually acquire, modify, and pass on modified information. Thus, the process of CT is fundamentally based on the interaction of both individual experimentation (i.e., innovation) and social learning (i.e., copying).
CT can create patterns in behavioral traits that are distinct from behaviors controlled and transmitted genetically.
Cultural information may consist of a single trait from a single individual, the average of a trait in a group of individuals, the modal trait in a population, or any other combination from any set of models.
We also can acquire information as traits, sets of traits, or simply as rules on how to acquire additional traits or rules.
Behaviors transmitted culturally have the potential to evolve (i.e., change) quicker than those passed on genetically because there are few limits to the structure of information inheritance in CT.
Multiple patterns will generally characterize CT.
When we study cultural variability, our analyses should include more than one measure of relatedness, each valid but representing different information pathways.
As a result, in some cases cultural variability may lack distinct groups with clear boundaries and cohesive internal information, though such groups can clearly form.
Not all similarity in cultural behavior necessarily indicates historical relatedness.
Distinguishing between instances of historical relatedness and convergence will form an important realm in future evolutionary studies.
Where and how replication takes place in CT?
The lack of attention in this area leads to fairly simplistic notions of traits moving from individual to individual with frequencies that are driven only by their prevalence in the population.
Gabora (2004), notes that the locus of cultural replication is in the minds of individuals. Minds are more than simple ''bags'' that hold traits but complex webs of algorithms and rules for acquiring and especially sorting information. Gabora calls these algorithms a worldview.
As a person receives cultural information, it is filtered through their worldview, where it is assimilated and related to all existing information before being stored and later recalled. Although strongly shaping the kinds and rates of information acquisition, worldviews are not static entities but constantly change.
The worldview not only transforms incoming information but is transformed itself to accommodate new information and is itself transmitted culturally.
First, we expect that individuals living in similar cultural, social, and physical environments will
tend to acquire similar worldviews. As a result they also may acquire similar kinds of behavioral traits, including material culture.
CT may include not only information about traits but also rules about how/when to acquire traits as well as rules about how/when to acquire new rules. This means that information may change (i.e., evolve) within a population at dramatically different rates.
Third, we expect that the set of rules that compose the ''worldview'' will be cumulative because they build on one another.
CT is a separate inheritance system that governs behavior, CT can easily account for seemingly ''maladaptive'' traits that spread or even come to dominate within the range of things people do.
For example, despite fairly strong genetically controlled instincts to eat, CT can explain why a behavior like anorexia may spread within a population (e.g., worldviews pertaining to a certain body image).
A significant amount of information is preserved in some way and is coherently passed from individual to individual through populations over relatively long periods of time. How well the historical signal of cultural transmission is preserved, particularly over long periods of time, is unknown and surely varies from context to context.
We assume that at least some information is transmitted between individuals and that this information is subject to modification before being retransmitted to others either through copying error, filtration through worldviews, or purposeful ''innovation.'' As a result, the information that is transmitted is subject to evolutionary forces.
We suggest further that at least some of this information stays relatively intact over archaeologically relevant periods of time.
''Information'' that is argued to be transmitted between individuals: Unlike DNA, which is physically passed from person to person in Genetic Transmission (GT), no such empirical entity is known for CT.
We have no direct way of ''seeing'' transmission.
There is no physical ''chunk'' of material that is passed from individual to individual.
Fundamentally, there is no distinction between GT and CT; each system simply passes information using different ways of coding.
This information-centered view has several consequences.
1. There are no boundaries on the types of physical entity that can carry information. This is true for
cultural and genetic forms of transmission.
The lack of a single empirical entity means that we have to define one.
Although there are no agreed-upon empirical units of CT, we can build a unit for measuring CT. For example, Pocklington and Best (1997, p. 81) define CT units as ''the largest units of socially transmitted information that reliably and repeatedly withstand transmission.'' This definition makes it clear that CT units are measurements of the effect of transmission on variability, not a physical package of something.
2. We must keep the physical package separate from the information being transmitted. We are not interested in the physical package or set of physical packages of cultural information but rather the structure, content, and ultimate effect on observable phenomena like material culture.
Because variation is the raw material upon which evolution operates and CT processes directly affect variation, it stands to reason that CT strongly affects the course of evolution.
Transmission works on both the originating (i.e., source of information) as well as the recipient
side (i.e., the destination of information) as individuals acquire, store, recall, replicate, and materialize this information.
Different combinations of the content, context, the number of people involved, the direction of transmission, biases, and information packaging present a bewildering array of possibilities for CT.
Content refers to the actual information that is being transmitted between individuals.
The more complex information is, the longer it takes to describe its properties whether done
mathematically, pictorially, or verbally. For evolutionary modeling, the complexity of information is important because complex information is subject to greater copying error.
The various human sensory systems are different in their accuracy, hence the propensity to produce error during replication of cultural information (see Eerkens 2000; Eerkens and Bettinger 2001; Eerkens and Lipo 2005).
The repetitiveness of the information being transferred also affects error rates during replication. Information that is highly repetitive is more likely to be materialized with less error than information that is singular.
The structure of information affects how it is transmitted. Mesoudi and Whiten (2004) showed that social information loses detail (''low-level information'') but may gain high-level structure as it is transmitted between people verbally. Mesoudi (Mesoudi et al. 2006) suggests that social gossip is transmitted with greater accuracy than similarly structured but nonsocial information.
Washburn (2001) found that the overall structure of the images was more accurately reproduced than elements about detail. Furthermore, cultural background played an important role in the accuracy of reproduction; the greater the familiarity of the culture from which the image was drawn, the greater the accuracy in reproducing structure and especially detail.
Context refers to the social and physical setting in which cultural information is transmitted. The physical and social context of transmission can mediate or alter the content of what is being transmitted.
The context in which this information was transmitted greatly affected variability in how it was remembered and subsequently retransmitted (Barth, 1987, 1990).
It is possible that artifacts transmitted within ritual contexts had conservative rates of change.
Mode refers to the process by which individuals transmit and acquire information.
Cavalli-Sforza and Feldman (1981) and Boyd and Richerson (1985) have modeled, that different modes of transmission can have dramatic effects on the rate of evolution of cultural information. For example, many-to-one transmission tends to slow the rate of change relative to one-to-many transmission (MacDonald 1998, p. 230; Shennan 2002).
Conformist transmission is a many-to-one system but with a particular type of bias, where the ''many'' represents those individuals possessing the modal or average behavior.
Rarity (or pro-novelty) biased transmission
Prestige-biased transmission – certain prestigious individuals, rather than the masses, are assumed to have access to (or have experimented to acquire) superior information.
The mode of transmission can vary depending on how information is packaged.
In some cases, cultural information may be transmitted because it ''hitchhikes'' with other information (O'Brien and Lyman 2003).
Individuals (i.e., actors) receive information and intentionally act upon it (e.g., ignore it, choose from whom to accept it, modify it, experiment with it).
Example: Cultural transmission in material artifacts of archeology
Style is something that exists independent of an observer, that is, it is empirical.
Meltzer (1981, p. 314) suggests that ''in many instances, the choice between certain kinds of design elements on ceramics is not a functional consideration, but rather is historically determined and selectively 'neutral,' because there is no inherent advantage between one element and the next. The actual presence of the design, however, has a selective value because that particular design serves to mark a certain individual or group boundary (or whatever other function it may serve).' Style is, therefore, a way of measuring and explaining material culture through the conceptual framework of cultural transmission.
Fundamentally, a random copying model is a null hypothesis.
Mithen (1997, 1998): humans link the difficult information to things they can easily transmit as part of packages.
Certain kinds of information will be bundled during transmission.
According to Mithen's argument, the presence of such domain-specific structure within the brain results in strong patterns in covariation between certain kinds of information during cultural evolution.
Henrich (2004b) shows that the effective population size (i.e., the number of interacting social learners) is an important factor in the transmission of complex versus simple material technologies. Henrich finds that complex technologies tend to be lost when populations decrease in size while simple technologies are maintained or even improved.
Various transmission processes produce different patterns in variation, with some such as conformist transmission removing variants from the pool of behaviors (i.e., winnowing away), and others such as experimentation and innovation adding new ones.
The documentation of variability and measures of dispersion (e.g., standard deviation, coefficient of variation) and covariation are not systematically reported in archaeological research. To maximize the utility of CT, it is important that archaeologists consistently report and consider the explanatory implications of dispersion measurements as well.
As a conceptual framework, CT is especially powerful for explaining patterns observed in material culture and variation therein through time and space.
Explanations of artifacts include the aggregate of ideas and processes involved in construction and how these are transmitted between individuals while simultaneously being modified through copying error, individual learning, experimentation, or innovation (e.g., Basalla 1988).
Three measures of variation are of particular relevance to CT.
The first is the dispersion about a mode or average. Dispersion can be caused by a number of transmission processes such as purposeful experimentation or copying error.
The second measure of variation concerns the diversity of distinct types within an assemblage of artifacts.
The third measure of variation involves covariation between the attributes of an artifact or between artifact types themselves.
Few studies have explored the intersection of these three measures of variation (dispersion, diversity, and covariation).

Niantic and The Pokemon Company have announced that Legendary Pokemon Raikou, Entei, and Suicune are coming to Pokemon Go starting today.
Each of the three will appear in raid battles in one region at a time. From today until September 30, Raikou will appear in gyms in the Americas, Entei will appear in gyms in Europe and Africa, and Suicane will be in gyms in the Asia-Pacific region. On September 30, the Pokemon will swap locations for a month, and then swap one more time to their last remaining region on October 31, making the full set eventually available worldwide.
Niantic also announced that the recently-announced Exclusive Raids are now called EX Raids and will begin rolling out in some areas as soon as next week, on September 6. EX Raids will be invite-only and will appear at certain gyms for a limited time. Players will only receive an invite if they have previously beaten a Raid Battle at that particular gym. EX Raids will begin as tests only in certain regions before eventually rolling out worldwide.
Yesterday, Niantic also began rolling out a new update (0.73.1 for Android and 1.43.1 for iOS) that fixes a bug that prevented the final Premier Ball in a raid from catching a Pokemon. You can read full patch notes on Pokemon Go's official site.
Today's news follows the rollout of Legendary Pokemon that began at last month's Pokemon Go Fest, beginning with Lugia and Articuno and eventually expanding to Moltres and Zapdos. Earlier this month, Mewtwo was catchable for players at the Pokemon Stadium event in Yokohama, Japan, and will begin to be available in EX Raids worldwide in the weeks to come.
For more on Pokemon Go, read about our experience at Pokemon Go Fest.
Andrew is IGN's executive editor of news and currently has 241 Pokemon caught and 242 seen in his Pokedex. You can find him rambling about Persona and cute animals on Twitter.

So many sports fans were shocked last night to find out that Tiger Woods had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee. And that left me with trying to figure out who was the big financial loser in all of this.
Well, it wasn't Tiger. Guy makes enough money already, right? And it's not really his sponsors. Nike , Gatorade,Buick. Those guys are all fine for a month. They'll still sell clothes, drinks and cars.
It's a natural to look at the television networks since Tiger is, after all, the ratings king. If he's in the hunt, he'll double the ratings over the previous year if he's not in the tournament or not competing on the final day. But if Tiger misses exactly a month, it's hard to say who exactly loses. He wasn't going to the Verizon or the Byron Nelson so the only tournaments he really misses then are the Wachovia (CBS) and The Players Championship (NBC), so I'd have to call it a wash on the network front.
The tournaments themselves also don't lose. Tiger kept his surgery private enough so that it's too late in the game. Wachovia has sold out all their ground tickets and TPC officials expect to sell out their 40,000 tickets.

The U.S. and China agreed to take action before mid-July that will increase access for financial companies from the U.S. to expand trade in chicken and beef amongst other steps as Washington continues its push to cut the trade deficit with China.
The deals represent the first results from 100 days of talks related to trade that started in April when a meeting was held between President Donald Trump and President Xi Jinping that proved much friendlier that expected after the presidential campaign of last year, but an immediate impact remained unclear.
Wilbur Ross the Commerce Secretary said the deal would help lower the deficit with China.
Last year, the trade deficit with China reached $347 billion showed figures from the U.S. Treasury.
By day 100, which is July 16, China agreed it would issue guidelines allowing card payment services that are U.S. owned to start their licensing process in an industry where UnionPay in China has been nearly a monopoly.
China will allow as well the imports from the U.S. of beef starting no later than on July 16 and the U.S. is to issue a rule that allows cooked poultry from China to enter the U.S. market.
Firms that are foreign-owned will be able to provide China with credit rating services in the country.
Trump pledged during his campaign for the presidency that he would be ending trade practices by China as well as other nations that he called unfair to the U.S. His tough rhetoric toward China fueled fears earlier of a possible trade war.
However, the comments and rhetoric has softened toward China the last month and Trump expressed admiration for the President of China saying he wanted China to help deal with the nuclear threat from North Korea.
Shortly after the meeting by Trump and Xi, the U.S. president said he told Xi he would give China a better trade deal if it helped to rein in its neighbor North Korea.
On Friday, when he was asked if the trade talks with the U.S. were related to the country of North Korea, a China representative said economic issues shouldn't be politicized.
However, while the two largest economies in the world agreed to a number of new steps to be taken before July 16, it is still not clear if the new deals will increase trade over the short-term.
Ker Gibbs the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai chairman said the new measures were a good start but did not represent a breakthrough.

Cedar Paneling for Bathrooms
A porous wood, cedar paneling has the ability to absorb noise, making it the right choice for use in the fence or the house siding. Softwood one of the most stable and durable known, millions of Cedar's air cell (porous nature) allows it to absorb heat and does not evolve, building materials perfect for use in the sauna is heated.
When used in the sauna cedar paneling is not going to be too hot to touch, it is resistant to mold or decay and will bless the lucky users with fertile and pleasant aroma that only enhances the sauna experience overall. Cedar is known for its dimensional stability, which means do not significantly alter the size or shape irrespective of any changes in humidity, temperature or other atmospheric conditions.

While other woods may warp or swell depend on the climate. Talent cedar paneling to remain unchanged regardless of the season makes it perfect for house siding or exterior structures such as gazebos or garden sheds. Porous nature of Cedar makes it a natural insulation material. Coupled with built-in properties of the nasal absorption of Western Red Cedar is the choice as the home of finishing materials. Because it helps to keep the house warm and sound proof.

I am not a Seth Godin fan, never really have been. He says some good things about marketing and life, but I don't like his style.
However, many people I respect have a lot of time for what he has to say.
On Friday, he pissed them off.
See, he posted one of his little tiny blog posts on the concept of "gifted". If he intended to be provocative and controversial, he succeeded.
In his post, he said: "
Wouldn't it be great to be gifted? In fact…
It turns out that choices lead to habits.
Habits become talents.
Talents are labeled gifts.
You're not born this way, you get this way."
He is wrong. Gifted and Talented are two different things.
"Gifted" is a biological reality, a sensitivity to stimulus. "Talented" is having skills.
Skills require habits of practice to be developed.
It is possible to achieve great things without gifted wiring through hard work, good choices, habits turned into talents. It is possible to have the gifted sensitivities and not achieve great things. But, the most impressive accomplishments of our world generally require both: start with an intellectual advantage and apply yourself.
The reason I am an advocate for individualized education is that without sufficient challenge, many gifted youth learn to slack off rather than apply themselves.
People who say things like Godin did make my job harder.
Gifted people are often seen as "weird" when compared to neurotypical people. Many adults suffered hugely for this as children. Godin's exhortations over the years for people to embrace and display their unique qualities have spoken deeply and soothingly to many who keep my company in the world of gifted advocacy. Friday's blog post hurt them deeply. And I understand why.
None of these people are people who think there is any value in being gifted for its own sake. In fact, most of them have suffered because of their giftedness. All of them agree that hard work is necessary for achievement.
Either Godin doesn't understand or he is being deliberatively provocative. Either way, he pissed my friends off and I am mad at him.
I am not the only one. Here are some other responses to Godin's post. Check them out and then come back and tell me what you think:
- Sething It All Wrong from Gifted and Talented Ireland, the only specialist website for teachers of Exceptionally Able children in Ireland.
- What Seth Godin Doesn't Get About "Gifted" from Pamela Price at Red, White and Grew has a great overview of information about what giftedness is and why gifted kids have special educational needs.
- Actually, Mr. Godin, We ARE Born This Way from Jen Merrill, author of If This is a Gift, Can I Send it Back?
- Actually, It Goes Both Ways, from Lisa Rivero at Psychology Today points out that innate giftedness is a real phenomenon AND practice and talent development are necessary components of achievement
- Gifted is About the Starting Point from the mother of a profoundly gifted teenager
- If Only You Were Right, Seth, But… from the Editor in Chief of GHF Press, the publications arm of Gifted Homeschoolers Forum

So I've been picked on for being short- not that I am- I am regular height or so the height charts all say. But non-the-less, there have been sneers and jabs and so I made this little music video to put one highly manicured finger in the air to anyone who thinks ya got to be a supper tall, big-busted, white woman to be hot! And that's not to say your not hot if you are a tall, big-busted white girl- ya are, we all are- that's the freakin' point! So please share this video out to all the lovely ladies you know because there are a 100 messages telling us every day that we are not (fill in the blanks) enough, and sometimes we all need a little f*ck you sing-along anthem.

Iceland Traveller's holidays are very flexible and the essential places to see are highlighted below. Tell us which aspects of the country interest you most and we will devise an itinerary that incorporates your preferences. If you've not visited Iceland before, the three tours we recommend that you include in your programme are Reykjavík, the Golden Circle and the South Shore. For returning travellers, or those staying for longer, we've included four tours that take you further afield.
Whether you choose to stay in Reykjavik or not, we recommend devoting an hour or two at the very least for one of our favourite Icelandic experiences. Cinema 2, the cosy, harbour side loft cinema shows short films about the natural wonders of Iceland, which provide an excellent introduction to your stay. Made by Lifsmynd, a small and talented family film production company, daily screenings include films from a varied programme including the Northern Lights, the eruption of the volcanoes Eyjafjallajökull or Bardabunga and the Birth of Iceland.
Each film is beautifully made and clearly narrated, superbly bringing the dynamic nature of Iceland's geography, geology and culture together. In the cinema, (a former fisherman's hut), there are also books about volcanoes, geology and more to browse through, a small but interesting rock collection, refreshments and knowledgeable staff that can provide all kinds of information.
The tour includes the Höfði House where, in October 1986, Presidents Reagan and Gorbachev met to discuss global disarmament. It also takes in the Parliament Building, which dates from 1880, the post-modern City Hall, and Government House, an unassuming whitewashed structure built in the 1760s, which now houses the office of the Prime Minister but which began life as a prison workhouse.
Visit the imposing Hallgrímskirkja, a modern concrete church whose spire resembles columns of basaltic lava, and the Ásmundarsafn, a sculpture gallery dedicated to Ásmundur Sveinsson (1893-1982) whose work was inspired by the Sagas, everyday life and nature. Perlan ("pearl") is a glass-domed revolving restaurant perched atop glistening tanks which contain up to 24 million litres of water and cater for half of the city's needs. Perlan is also home to the Saga Museum, a lifelike collection of model characters from Iceland's medieval literature. Reykjavík's newest landmark is the Harpa centre, home to the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra and Icelandic Opera, which stages a range of concerts and events throughout the year.
Golden Circle
Thingvellir ("Parliament Plains") National Park, is where the Althing, an open-air assembly representing the whole of Iceland was established in 930 and which has thus been recognised by UNESCO as the site of the world's first parliament. It is also significant geologically as the point where the two halves of Iceland, formed by the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet and are slowly drifting apart. In the rift is a small river that feeds into Iceland's largest lake, Thingvallavatn.
Geysir is the great hot spring from which all others take their name. The frequency and scale of its eruptions are affected by volcanic activity and now occur only occasionally, but a nearby geyser, Strokkur, erupts every few minutes, shooting a column of boiling water 20 or 30m into the air.
Gullfoss ("Golden Falls") is one of the most beautiful of Iceland's numerous waterfalls – and perhaps its most famous natural wonder – is located in the canyon of the Hvita. About a kilometre above the falls, the river turns sharply left and flows down into a wide, curved, three-step "staircase" before plunging in two stages of 11 and 21 metres into a crevice 32m deep. Visitors can see a memorial to Sigridur Tomasdottir, who was determined to save the falls from plans to build a hydroelectric power plant which would have destroyed them forever.
Crater Keri∂ is one of several crater lakes in the area. It is coloured a vivid aquamarine due to minerals in the soil. While most of the crater is steep with little vegetation, one wall slopes more gently and is covered in moss. Please note: an entry fee may be payable to walk round the crater rim. This location is not included on all Golden Circle tours.
South Shore
From the road can be glimpsed Eyjafjallajökull, the glacier brought to world attention in 2010 when its underlying volcano erupted, sending a black ash plume 11km into the atmosphere and closing European airspace for six days. The neighbouring icecap, Myrdalsjókull, is considerably larger with its majestic dome rising high above the cliffs and farmland beneath. To experience the ice cap there are snowmobile and jeep tours available, together with guided hikes on the associated glacier at Solheimajókull. Beneath the icecap lies the mighty Katla volcano, one of the most active in Iceland. Further along the coast is the town of Vik, where the North Atlantic swell sends waves crashing on to its black sand beach. Here, the coastal scenery is stunning and, at certain times of the year, the bird life is prolific. Most notable is the promontory at Dyrholaey, with its distinctive lighthouse and basalt columns while, visible from the road at Reynisfjara, are the Reynisdrangar "needles" or troll ship. Vik itself is a good place to stop for food and fuel, especially for those travelling further east across the outwash plains of Myrdalssandur.
The South East
Between Vik and Höfn, the road crosses the great outwash plain, a dramatic and deserted landscape created by past glacial floods. Near the village of Kirkjubaejarklaustur lies the Eldrhaun lava field, created during the Laki fires of 1783 and considered to be the largest lava flow from a single eruption in historical times. Travelling north-east, the horizon is dominated by snow-topped mountains as the road heads towards Skaftafell, a paradise for hikers.
Skaftafell is the most popular area of the Vatnajökull National Park and its most photographed attraction is Svartifoss ("Black Falls") which is backed by the black basalt columns which give it its name. The visitor centre is home to an exhibition, a highlight of which is film of the 1996 eruption under the icecap and the ensuing flood.
Jokülsarlon, where parts of the James Bond films A View To A Kill and Die Another Day were shot, is the largest of the lakes and a boat ride among its glistening glaciers is not to be missed. A short hiking trip along one of the glaciers can also be arranged.
The North
To see the finest array of craters, fresh lava fields, fumeroles and bubbling mud pools in Iceland head for the beautiful Lake Mývatn district. Situated just west of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge that is slowly tearing the country apart, it is one the most volcanically-active regions on Earth. The lake and its surrounding wetlands are an important breeding ground for waterfowl, particularly ducks. The Mývatn Nature Baths, an open-air geothermal pool, are the North's answer to the Blue Lagoon but far less crowded.
The West
The pretty town of Stykkishólmur is a good base from which to explore the Snæfellsnes peninsula. This is the area where some of the most dramatic events of the Icelandic Sagas occurred and to the south, at Borgarnes, a multimedia exhibition uses these legends to explore the country's early history.

What is design for manufacture?
Design for Manufacture (DFM) is a process that reduces waste and increases production efficiency.
It involves extensive planning in the design phase to ensure a product is created in the most efficient way possible.
During the DFM process our engineers consult with our clients to identify and resolve design problems.
By refining the manufacturing process during the design phase, we can save costly product revisions downstream.
Why Design for Manufacture?
A well-designed product will achieve its purpose with the least amount of waste possible. We completely consider the parts, assembly and functionality of a product ahead of time.
Any stress concentrations and raw material choices are also reviewed ahead of time through finite element analysis.
With a dedicated manufacturing cell and in-house design team, we use the DFM process to bridge the gap between concept, design and manufacture.
3 key principles in the Romar DFM process
There are three simple principles that lie at the core of the DFM process.
Using these principles, Romar can:
- shorten product development lifecycles
- optimise product design through CAD software
- maintain structural & functional integrity via stress testing
- reduce material, overhead and labour costs
- ensure the product's original concept is maintained
We minimise the overall cost of product manufacture through shrewd engineering. Costs are reduced by:
- minimising part counts
- determining the most efficient raw materials
- standardising parts and materials
- circumventing manufacturing problems in the design phase
Simplification is a cornerstone of good engineering. The Romar DFM process removes complexity by:
- creating modular assemblies
- designing efficient joining & fastening
- considering secondary processes (finishing, plating), dimensional requirements and packaging
- streamlining the entire product development cycle under one roof
Exhaustive planning in the design phase means we can maintain your product's integrity during manufacture. We use our intimate understanding of the manufacturing process to achieve consistency by:
- minimising part reorientation during assembly and machining
- simplifying and/or reducing manufacturing operations
- specifying acceptable surface finishes for functionality
- maintaining the integrity and quality of your product
Working with us
Romar's DFM process brings your product to full viability before reaching the production line. By addressing logistical and mechanical problems before they arise, we help you reduce manufacturing risk and cost.
If you're ready to collaborate with a team of experts who believe in your vision, contact Romar today.

We will walk around the East side of the George Eastman House and Museum now on East Avenue, Rochester, NY. Both sides have beautiful gardens and most of them are not in bloom on this cold overcast day. There are intricate brick paths all boxed in leading to different parts of the multi-tiered garden. I will have to go back in a few weeks when more plants are blooming and maybe there is a better sky.

St. Constance School Library Program
Each grade level has one library class per week. Our library program encourages the students to develop listening skills, visual literacy, and an appreciation of the world of books. During library class, the students will check out books, do research, and work on library science skills. The projects the students work on will vary depending on the age of the children.
My goal is for all of my students to use library skills to enhance the curriculum of academic areas. I intend to work with the classroom teachers to assure that the library resources and programs support and enrich the curricula at all grade levels.
The students in the primary grades should learn to evaluate and select books of interest, identify the parts of a book, and participate in discussion following storytelling.
The intermediate level students should learn to discriminate between fiction and non-fiction books, locate reference sources and use found information in research projects, and be able to recall, summarize, and paraphrase selections read or viewed.
The junior high students should be able to locate specific interesting reading and research materials and develop the skills necessary to select, evaluate, and interpret desirable materials to entertain and to inform. Also, these students should be able to prepare and present oral presentations to their classes.
