For many middle school students, connections between their lives and concepts like chemical reactivity, microbial contamination, and experimental sampling are not obvious. They may also feel that, even if there were connections, understanding the monitoring and quality of natural resources is something for grown-ups and beyond their responsibility. This curriculum highlights connections. Students characterize bacteria in a local untreated water source and investigate the mechanism, effectiveness, and byproducts of chlorine bleach as a water treatment. Working in groups, they use different growth and treatment conditions to characterize samples, thus collectively obtaining a more complete description of the system. The North Carolina 8th Grade Standard Course of Study Objectives were used during curricular development, and alignment to Next Generation Science Standards performance expectations is provided. Teacher-guided discussions, demonstrations, experimentation, and database investigation engage students as they develop informed and critical opinions about water quality and water treatment methods. The final activity connects scientific investigation to advocacy and civic engagement.
Increasingly, our world is shaped by scientific questions related to natural resources such as water, energy, and food. Often, however, students do not connect with these issues, perceiving them as too "far away" to maintain interest. Here, we present a curriculum that bridges the gap between classroom science and students' lives by using chemistry and microbiology to investigate the quality of local water sources. Students characterize the bacteria within a local water source, explore chemical reactivity and the practical aspects of water purification, discuss the ramifications of killing bacterial contaminants and accumulating the bacterial debris and reaction products, and learn about resources for advocacy and policy. The curriculum was designed according to education standards in North Carolina (Table 1) and matches multiple performance expectations in the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS; Table 2). The NGSS emphasize an interdisciplinary approach to science education, and this curriculum exemplifies that approach by integrating natural science with intentional discussions of how science can inform real-world decisions and students' personal connections to natural-resource policy and advocacy.
We named the curriculum "STOP: Can You Drink That Water?" to highlight that we are all responsible for being aware of the quality and safety of our water and because it uses agars whose colors are the same as those in a traffic light. The curriculum's guided inquiry-based approach models the way in which scientists collaborate by requiring students to analyze their own data and pull together results from the whole class in order to draw a clearer picture of why water purification is needed and what it does.
The curriculum is flexible and affordable. If time doesn't permit the entire series, segments can be used individually. Additionally, to minimize costs, the exercises use household items wherever possible. Because it connects science, daily life, and society and encourages students to become engaged citizens, we wanted to ensure that the planned accessibility held true in practice. Therefore, we field tested the curriculum and found that it was successful in both a well-equipped school and a community-center summer program. Although this showed us that the curriculum could be integrated into a variety of teaching environments, it is intended for a science classroom.
Materials & Preparation
Jar for collecting lake water
Eyedroppers (2 per group); plastic transfer pipets can also be used
Velcro tape strips (fabric/craft store)
Gloves (drugstore version sufficient)
Masking tape
Absorbent paper for work area
Sharpie markers
Craft scraps (combination of fuzzy or fabric and plastic or wooden items)
Small bags for craft scraps
Small (3 oz.) paper cups (3 per group)
Small bottles (2 per group)
15 qt./14 L plastic storage box with lid
Disinfectant spray for cleanup
Microbial Culture
LB agar (Fisher Scientific, BP1425)
Eosin methylene blue (EMB) agar (BD, 211215)
Simmons' citrate agar (BD, 211620)
Petri dishes (Fisher Scientific, 08-747-14g)
Field tests of this curriculum used agar plates prepared on site, per manufacturer's instructions.
Prepoured plates can be obtained from Carolina Biological Supply Company (LB: no. 822022; EMB: no. 821522) and through Ward's or VWR.com (Simmons' citrate: no. 89014-138). Sterile plates can be prepared and refrigerated for up to 1 month. Before use, the plates should be warmed to room temperature. To minimize condensation dripping on samples, plates are stored with the agar-containing side on the top ("upside down"). A water sample from a local lake, pond, or stream should be collected within 2 days of the plating experiment on Day 2. The PowerPoint lectures and handouts mentioned in the text, which include the required dilutions, are available at http://www.bio.davidson.edu/people/kabernd/watercurric/index.html.
"STOP: Can You Drink That Water?": Day 1
Why Don't We Just Drink Lake Water?
To begin the curriculum, students use a local lens to explore microbiology and methods of water treatment by discussing where their water comes from and what happens to the water before it reaches their tap. All content is delivered in an interactive format (outlined below), with information and questions used to lead discussion provided via PowerPoint (Presentation 1, online). Basic microbiology, illnesses caused by water-borne bacteria, and methods of water treatment are among the concepts covered.
Discussion Structure for Day 1
Brainstorm: Where do you get your drinking water? Why don't you get it from the nearest body of water?
Content delivery: Introduction to bacteria; impacts of bacteria on ecosystem function and human health.
Brainstorm: How can you detect bacteria in water? What would you need to detect bacteria?
Content delivery: Introduction to use of plating water to determine bacterial content and the benefits of using various types of selective media.
Brainstorm: How could you remove bacteria from water?
Content delivery: How does disinfection work? Chemistry of bleach as a disinfectant; other methods of disinfection (boiling, UV light sterilization); methods used by water-treatment plants, including steps of coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration, and disinfection.
Optional Reactivity Activity
The highly reactive nature of chlorine bleach makes it an effective water treatment. Because this curriculum may be used before chemical reactivity has been discussed, we designed an "introduction to reactivity" activity. The activity can be conducted with full class participation or as a demonstration. A "Reactivity Worksheet" is found in the online materials.
To begin, students are provided the definition of a chemical reaction, an activity handout, bags of separate types of craft items (e.g., plastic beads, feathers, yarn, felt; Figure 1), and two plastic gloves. Glove 1 has "soft side" Velcro tape on its palm and fingers, and glove 2 has "sticky side" Velcro tape on its palm and fingers. The gloves are instant attention-getters. In this exercise, something sticking to a glove means that a "reaction" has occurred. Students reach into a bag, squeeze the material, and record what happens. They then repeat the process with the other bags of craft items. The importance of recording what they do and see should be stressed.
After students explore each of the bags, the instructor leads a discussion of which glove or craft items were more "reactive." Because the handout does not indicate whether "products" should be removed or allowed to accumulate between bags, groups may complete the exercise differently. This is part of the exercise. Using less prescriptive instructions allows the follow-up discussion to explore the analogy for reactivity and how differences between groups' approaches affect the information they gathered, underscoring the importance of good note taking and communication.
During field testing, students quickly saw that properties of the "reactants" determine how they interact and why testing bags in a different order or deciding to leave or remove previously attached items changed a glove's ability to react with subsequent items. The instructor's role is to connect the Velcro analogy to chemical reactions and reinforce that the properties of molecules determine how reactive they are (i.e., form follows function). Asking students to decide which craft-item reactant is most analogous to the highly reactive compound, bleach, connects the reactivity activity to earlier brainstorming about water treatment.
Day 2: What's in Your Water?
After discussing bacteria and drinking-water disinfection, students apply the knowledge in two plating experiments: one characterizing the microbial contents of lake water using selective media, and another exploring the effectiveness of disinfection. Students work in groups of fewer than four to ensure that each student has an active role (see "Water Testing and Treatment" worksheet online). In the activity, described in greater detail online, students plate water collected from the nearest body of water onto three growth agars: EMB (red), LB (yellow), and Simmons' citrate (green). The type of bacteria that will be able to grow is determined by the medium's components. LB is not selective and allows growth of many aerobic bacteria strains. EMB allows growth of Gram negative bacteria (such as E. coli) but not Gram positive ones. Simmons' citrate agar allows growth of bacteria that can use citrate as a sugar source. The media used in your classroom can vary, depending on what is available to prepare or order. If possible, different types of selective media should be used so that students can discover how plating on different types of media can provide more detailed information about which bacteria are present and how that information might indicate causal events in the body of water sampled (e.g., high numbers of colonies on LB and EMB suggest E. coli and could indicate a sewage spill upstream).
In the first plating session, each group is given one of each type of selective media plate and lake water that is either "full strength" or diluted with tap water (instructions online). Wearing gloves and using eyedroppers, students add 20 drops of lake water to each plate and swirl to cover the agar surface. During data analysis, students will discover that dilutions are necessary because the body of water used will affect the number and types of microbes present. Some concentrations of lake water may produce too many colonies to count, whereas others do not contain bacteria that grow in a certain condition, each result providing important information about the bacterial population in the sample. Having groups test different dilutions reduces cost because it allows the class to have interpretable data without every group using the materials needed to perform serial dilutions. Because the groups must combine data in order to interpret the system they are studying, the investigation models how scientists collaborate to get a more complete and interpretable picture.
Plating different dilutions also allows discussion of the mathematical manipulations needed to (1) see if the colony counts are consistent across dilutions and (2) estimate the number of bacteria in the original lake water (the colony-forming units, or CFU). Depending on the goals of your course, the number of colonies resulting from different dilutions of the same sample can prompt a conversation about sampling techniques, probability, sample size, and the practical consideration of wanting to have enough colonies to be significant, but not so many that the data set becomes unwieldy to count. In addition, classes with greater than four groups will have multiple groups testing a particular dilution. This allows discussion of why the data were or were not repeatable and the importance of replicates.
In the second plating session, the effectiveness of disinfection on subsets of bacteria is investigated; everyone works with "full strength" lake water, but each group has only one selective medium. Groups are provided three plates, bleach, three paper cups, and eyedroppers specifically marked "bleach only." They label the cups "1/5," "1/10," and "1/20," and samples are prepared by adding first lake water and then drops of bleach to each cup. (Note: The order is important. If bleach is added first, the initial drops of lake water will hit full-strength bleach and all bacteria will be killed.) After gently swirling to mix the components, students plate samples onto their selective plates.
In preparation for the growth period, every plate's lid is taped to minimize accidental contact with microbes, and the plates are stored in a plastic box to contain odors. At room temperature, colony formation requires ~48 hours. If a 37°C incubator is available, colonies should be visible after ~24 hours. If exercise days need to be spread farther apart, after colonies are visible the box can be moved to a laboratory refrigerator and stored for multiple weeks at 4°C (do not store with food, and do not freeze).
After plating the samples, students complete a think–pair–share and predict:
What do the different types of media allow to grow and what do they keep from growing? Why or how do they allow this selective growth?
Which plates will show the most bacterial growth?
Which plates will have the least bacterial growth?
If nothing grows on the citrate plates, what can you conclude about the population of bacteria in that sample?
How does bleach kill bacteria?
Which concentration of bleach will kill the most bacteria, and which concentration the fewest?
Encourage students to express predictions as statements that include "Because…" or "Since…" phrases and provide support for their assertions. You can then reinforce that these are the class's hypotheses and review the important components of hypotheses: that they are based on previous information and are testable and falsifiable. Students should record these hypotheses so that they can refer to them during data interpretation and when communicating the study's conclusions.
Day 3
Analysis of Microbial Presence, Diversity, & Disinfection
After reviewing that a colony is not one large cell but millions of offspring of a single plated cell, students count and describe the different types of colonies on each plate. The group data are pooled, and the class discusses what colony growth on different types of media says about the bacterial population in the water sample and which concentration of bleach was sufficient to "purify" the water (i.e., to kill the bacteria below detectable levels). If cameras or cell phones are available, students can collect images for analysis at another time or to use as part of a presentation extension assignment.
These discussions most effectively model scientific practices if the hypotheses developed on Day 2 are briefly reviewed and the analysis focuses on which ones are supported by data and which are not. The underlying message must be that data are not discarded or considered "wrong" if they do not support a hypothesis. The interpretation must fit the data collected, not the other way around ("Data Collection and Analysis Worksheet" online).
Exploration of Disinfection Byproducts & American Drinking-Water Quality
Equipped with knowledge about water pollution and water treatment and experimental evidence of the microbial diversity within their own local untreated water source, students now investigate what can happen to water as it travels from a treatment facility to houses. This section of the curriculum focuses on the formation of byproducts and the nonbacterial contents of tap water.
Byproduct Demonstration
To introduce the concept of byproduct formation, we used a pH indicator dye and an apparatus consisting of a plastic funnel attached to a flexible tube and a transparent catch container. Indicator dyes can be purchased; however, the dye we field tested was the liquid left after boiling red cabbage. We recommend preparing this particular pH indicator in a fume hood or at home because boiled cabbage's distinctive odor will permeate school hallways. Fortunately, this indicator dye can be prepared and refrigerated for a month. The demonstration apparatus is easily prepared from materials available at local hardware and grocery stores or common laboratory equipment (Figure 2). Before the demonstration, a cotton ball soaked with lemon juice or dilute NaOH is inserted into the tubing. Students are told that the funnel represents a water-treatment holding tank, the tube is the pipe leading to homes, the cotton ball represents all the things the treated water contains or interacts with (disinfection reaction products, cellular breakdown products after disinfection, and interactions with the pipes themselves), and the catch container is the faucet in their house. The freshly disinfected water from the treatment facility (cabbage juice) is then added to the funnel. As the purple-colored juice interacts with the cotton ball, it dramatically changes color (e.g., lemon juice = purple to pink, NaOH = purple to green). Asking leading questions helps guide the students to realize that even treated water is not "just" H2O. Reactive elements left after treatment can interact with each other, causing side reactions and accumulation of byproducts as water travels to our faucets.
American Drinking-Water Quality
After the concept of byproducts is introduced, the class uses a PowerPoint presentation to explore water-purification byproducts and other possible components of tap water (Presentation 2, online). The PowerPoint contains interactive elements drawing from a New York Times study's data on contaminants in American tap water (http://projects.nytimes.com/toxic-waters/contaminants). If time and computers are available, however, this can be replaced with more student-driven research exploring the water quality in their hometown or region using the New York Times database. The curriculum ends with discussions of how students can make their voices heard to praise or express concern about their local water quality, and the importance of being aware of resource management issues that affect their lives and of advocating for policies that support healthy environments and people.
Discussion Structure for Day 3
Content delivery: Definition of "byproduct."
Brainstorm: Can you think of examples of byproducts? (Instructor alludes to the color-change demonstration and the chemistry lessons from Day 1, guiding students toward understanding that reactions can cause byproducts and that the products of one reaction [e.g., dead bacteria] may be reactants for additional side reactions.) Are there any highly reactive agents present in our tap water? Yes, bleach!
Content delivery: Overview of water-disinfectant byproduct formation and risks.
Investigate: Students explore the content of water systems across America, using data provided in a 2009 series produced by The New York Times. This series contains an interactive feature that allows users to browse data on the content of American water systems.
Content delivery: Overview of how to interpret the data.
Investigate: Students investigate types of contaminants found in five cities' water supplies: New York City, Idaho Falls, Honolulu, Charlotte, and Durham (PowerPoint 2). To facilitate discussion, examples of different types of contaminants (e.g., disinfectant byproducts, agricultural byproducts, plumbing byproducts) are indicated by circles of different colors.
Brainstorm: Why might some contaminants be present in higher levels in some water systems than in others? Example: There are more agricultural byproducts in Idaho Falls water than in New York City water. Why?
Content delivery: Instructor points out common contaminants and explains the implications of their presence. Note that most contaminants are not present at dangerous levels, but if they build to higher levels there may be a public health problem.
Brainstorm: Who can you contact if you have questions, praise, or complaints about your tap water?
Content delivery: Instructor explains the importance of being informed and involved, and how to find information and contacts for local treatment facilities and local and state representatives. Information is reinforced with a worksheet covering how students can stay informed about the safety of their tap water ("Making Your Voice Heard" handout).
Example assessment questions are provided below. To preserve the integrity of the questions, full pre- and post-curriculum assessment tools are available by emailing the corresponding author. In the full materials, the assessment is broken into subcategories testing knowledge of bacteria, chemistry, water, and advocacy, so that each subcategory can be evaluated separately. During field testing, scores increased significantly between pre- and post-assessments in each of the subcategories (P < 0.0002).
Field testing included a combined 6th–9th grade Freedom School summer enrichment program (15 students) and multiple classes of 8th graders during the school year (4 classes/110 students). In all situations, teachers and students enthusiastically received the curriculum. Students remained engaged during the activities and expressed interest in learning more on their own. Although the disparate levels of background among the 15 Freedom School students confound interpretation of learning gains, the consistent engagement and enthusiasm of this group of 6th to 9th graders showed us that the curriculum could be used to introduce the topics covered.
The in-semester 8th-grade offerings included students and facilities that were the intended audience for this curriculum. After completing the curriculum, students demonstrated better use of topical vocabulary and could provide more nuanced explanations about the topics covered and the role of science and experimentation in their lives. As an example, one class's average score increased significantly, from 65.76% to 83.65%, between pre- and post-curriculum assessments (n = 29, P < 0.0001). No student's performance decreased on the post-assessment; in fact, the average individual post-assessment scores demonstrated a 28% increase over the paired pre-assessment scores. Because our program occurred after students had completed units on chemical reactions, the hydrosphere, and bacterial cells, the assessment data suggest that our water-quality curriculum reinforced and extended their previous knowledge and could also be used as a capstone activity.

To commemorate 50 years of the James Bond franchise, editor Paul Duncan sifted through the vaults of EON Productions to source photos, storyboards, and production materials traversing every Bond film ever made.
"Bond, James Bond." Since Sean Connery uttered those immortal words in 1962, the most dashing secret agent in the history of cinema has been charming and thrilling audiences worldwide. This impeccably British character created by author Ian Fleming has starred in 23 EON-produced films, played by six different actors over five decades.
To celebrate 50 years of this innovative franchise, EON Productions opened their archives of photos, designs, storyboards, and production materials to editor Paul Duncan, who spent two years researching over one million images and 100 filing cabinets of documentation. The result is the most complete account of the making of the series, covering every James Bond film ever made, beginning with Dr. No (1962) and ending with Skyfall (2012), including the spoof Casino Royale (1967) and Never Say Never Again (1983).
The stunning imagery is accompanied by an oral history recounted by over 150 cast and crew members, relating the true inside story of how the Bond films were made. Containing previously unpublished photography and artwork, as well as production memos from filming, this book is a comprehensive tribute to the legend of James Bond.

Waiariki Institute of Technology Live Chat
Hi Tre
No, work experience is not part of the certificate in forest operations. It is a course designed to get you to an apprenticeship standard, and while you do go out in the field to learn, it is not for an actual employers benefit. Plus it's only 17 weeks long, so the main focus is getting you 'work ready' .
Hi George,
We are good at it because all our tutors are forestry pros, who know what they are talking about. We have the latest technology for our students to train on and with, and we in touch with the forestry industry to ensure we teach you what they need and not what we think they want.
Plus we are based in the home of forestry, Rotorua, so it's hard not to be.
Hi Waiariki,
Can you tell me if you take on students who got 1/2 their level 2 requirements?
Thanks :)
thank you for the answer to my last question. I would also like to know if forestry has a good pay scale ?
Hi Barret,
That all depends what qualification you are looking at?
Waiariki also offers CVS which is a qualification that helps you get NCEA lvl 2 in a variety of areas with a higher teacher/student average then a secondary school classroom, and not always based in a classroom either (because that might not be the environment you learn best in).
So if you wanted to take another crack at that we have those options to - better yet the Certificate in Vocational Skills is FREE.
Hi there,
Do you offer any agriculture courses? If so are they better than EIT and why?
Hi Tre,
Again that all depends on what area of forestry you are looking at. beginning pay is great and the chances for promotion are usually easily in reach. Our Forest Ops classes get you to the skill level of an apprenticeship, while forest management readies you for jobs a little higher up the salary scale.
As one of our nations core in-demand industries, it generally has pay schemes to suit.
Thanks again!
Hi Jack E,
We think they are that's for sure! Not only do our agriculture courses in Rotorua, Whakatane, Taupo or Tokoroa include actual on the farm work experience that always helps in getting employment after, our head Agriculture tutor Greg Brady was voted Tutor of the Year by the agriculture industry!
Read up on Greg's win here: http://www.waiariki.ac.nz/about-us/latest-news/profiles/topagriculturetutor
And there are student profiles of employed agriculture graduates you can read on our Facebook page, here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10152086263757335.1073741860.19679602334&type=3
Are there any scholarships that Waiariki offer?
There sure are Luke! We not only have 27 of our own on offer JUST for school leavers (oddly enough named 'Waiariki Scholarships for School Leavers 2016'), we also keep a library of scholarships available in areas we teach on our website.
Checkout http://www.waiariki.ac.nz/study-options/fees-and-finance/scholarship-and-grants for a complete list.
Hope that helps!

What? You've never been to The Marble Arch Rich? Nope. Most times I go to Manchester it's for a reason; Grand Final, beer festivals and maybe call in somewhere for a quick one on the way back to the station. That's about it really.
I probably ought to pop across more often, thing is, it just seems all unnecessary when I've got Leeds on my door step. I used to go quite a lot, but that was a long time ago, so when I do venture west of the pennines it's usually quite a pleasant experience.
None more so than Marble Arch, which was the only pub/bar I called into that had anything like a decent atmosphere going on. Like a city centre pub should be on a Thursday afternoon. Not too packed so that you couldn't get a seat, but busy enough to make you seek out somewhere to sit; to create a bit of a buzz, a vibe, a sense of 'there's something happening here'.
I reckon it was about 4.30pm when we called in. A mixed bag, all sorts of people, all ages and not really after work drinkers, all deep in conversation and pints of beer, an odd one or two eating.
From the outside it looks just like any other pub on the edge lands of the city centre. Albeit an imposing and impressive facade. One of those, should have been at the end of a parade of shops, with a terrace of streets running down the side pubs, sat in the 'we've pulled it down and using it for a car park before they build more student flats on it, zone'.
A red, half polished Granite, half brick, sentinel of bygone days with all the history around it demolished. I never realised it was so close to the excellent Wing Yip Chinese supermarket on nearby, across the road, other side of the block, Oldham Road, which I have been to.
It's only when you go inside that you really go Wow! Because this is a stunner. All glazed bricks and tiling. A strangely sloping floor leads down to the bar in the far right corner of the single main room, why did they do it like that, I wonder? There's an inverted wooden and glass porch (there's probably a proper name for this sort of vestibule) to keep the weather out and the pub cosy.
The ceiling is of vaulted brick and steel construction, quite unusual and very underground railway stationesque. I spent most of the time craning my neck upwards. Everywhere you look there's something new to see, a little quirk, the names of various beverages picked out in glazed tiles. When you're not looking up, peer down to the mosaic flooring that edges the left half of the wooden flooring. And just to put the cherry on top of the icing, a real fire too.
The beer was decent. Mostly Marble beers, it would be wouldn't it in their brewery tap, the pub used to house the brewery which is still nearby. You can't go wrong with Marble beers and I'd rate the ALF hazy IPA I had as NBSS 3.75. Wasn't cheap though at £5.25 a pint, but very nice. You can get a pint of Pint for £3.30 or Bitter for £3.55, which is decent, considering.
Top pub, top beer, excellent crack. In my top whatever, and definitely worth the train fare from Leeds, it's so good.

CHRIS Evans said he would rather run a marathon every day than train with wife Natasha as she 'pushes' him too hard.
Speaking on today's Virgin Radio Breakfast Show, the 53-year-old discussed his exercise regime with co-stars Rachel Horne and Vassos Alexander.
He said; "I've never had a personal fitness session from anyone."
Speaking of her own PT class later today, Rachel replied: "Sometimes I feel like I could be a little bit sick but I'm never actually sick."
Chris then told listeners that Vassos, an endurance runner can really push himself when he's training.
Vassos replied: "I do actually more to myself than if someone is pushing me or I'm running with other people."
Chris, who ran the London Marathon in April and hosted the first RunFestRun earlier this month, admitted: "I don't do that, and Tash my wife, she's very similar to you Vassos and I can't go out running with her.
"A - because she's miles fitter than me and it's a bit embarrassing for everyone concerned, least of all me actually - I don't mind it so much - but everyone else is like 'what's he doing?'
"But she pushes me too hard, and when she starts to talk to me about what I should be doing, and how I should be doing it, that makes me feel...as I'm doing it...it hurts.
"Her words hurt me, not emotionally at all, physically. I'm like 'ow, what you're saying is hurting'.
Most Read in TV & Showbiz
"I'd happily run a marathon every day of the week rather than work out with Tash for an hour, even half an hour."
Despite his reluctance to train with his wife of 12 years, Chris is a keen runner and received great support from famous athletes including Paula Radcliffe and Colin Jackson at the first RunFestRun earlier this month.
The event was such a success Chris has confirmed it will return in 2020.

Symptoms of depression and anxiety are triggered by excessive mental and physical stress, or disruptions of natural biological rhythms. According to Ayurveda, psychological problems start when fundamental imbalances develop in the biological intelligence that controls all bodily processes.
• Vata imbalance contributes to anxiety, fear, mental instability and insomnia.
• Pitta imbalance may give rise to anger and irritability.
• Kapha imbalance may lead to lethargy and depression.
Ayurveda does not simply match drugs to symptoms, because people can have the same symptoms for different reasons. Just as a headache can have many possible causes, not everyone has depression or anxiety for the same reasons.
Since depression and anxiety can be influenced by many factors, such as diet, digestion, toxin accumulation, stress, exercise levels and daily routine, The Active Ayu Life treatments balance many physiological functions simultaneously.

Statistics Project
You've just been introduced to a person who was not only pleased to meet you because you have the chops to take on a hot project that's on his/her radar screen, but additionally has the authority to green-light your hire. Oh, happy day!
You're thrilled to do the credit card exchange as your newest prospect requires you to make contact so that the both of you can talk specifics. You can almost taste the billable hours, but just how excited in case you be? Statistical probability can enable you to put a dollar value on the happiness quotient.
I found this intriguing formula which uses historical data from sales outcomes and statistical probability data, enabling you to calculate the expected value of your upcoming prospect. As has undoubtedly been reflected in your experience, there is a randomness to networking and Solopreneur consulting contracts. Within your effort to take much-desired predictability and financial security to your life, the Solopreneuer's objective is to control variables, positively impact outcomes, win projects and generate revenue.
Let's say you're speaking to a potential customer in regards to a project that you simply estimate may be worth $ten thousand.00. The operative word is estimate. $10K is the potential value, but it's not the actual value until and unless you or somebody else is awarded the project. If no person wins the project, then it's worth zero.
The project's worth is influenced by the odds of an effective close. The subsequent formula enables you to calculate the possibility price of the prospect as well as the project throughout the various stages from the sales process.
The steps within the sales process and the values assigned at each step during this process derive from historical data supplied by a big corporate sales force. To refine the precision, identify the steps inside your usual sales process and record your sales success rates each and every stage of the sales process.
I. Identify the steps in your sales process:
* Invitation to meet and discuss the project
* Initial appointment / discussion of needs and benefits
* Verbal proposal / assessment of needs and benefits
* Invitation to submit written proposal
II. Determine the probability of a successful outcome at each step:
* Invitation to talk about project 2% success
* Initial appointment / discussion of needs 8% success
* Verbal proposal/ assessment of needs and benefits 25% success
* Invitation to submit written proposal 65% success
III. Calculate the dollar value at every point in the sale for a proposed $10K project
* Invitation to talk about project $ 200.00
* Initial appointment / discussion of needs $ 800.00
* Verbal proposal / assessment of needs and benefits $2,500.00
* Invitation to submit written proposal $6,500.00
Exactly what do the statistics mean? If you are invited to fulfill with all the prospect, there is a 2% chance of winning the contract at this point. If in that first appointment the prospect launches a conversation in regards to what would or might be needed with regards to project work, you bump up to an 8% chance of winning the contract. The dollar values tell you how much the sales process is "worth" each and every step that leads as much as signing the agreement, if you can to accomplish this.
If inside the conversation, or in a follow-up conversation or email, you will find a discussion of project specifics, including its purpose, needs and benefits, as well as the talk centers round the suitability of your own rohnfp and expertise for the job, then there is a 25% probability that you will be awarded the project. Should you be invited to submit a written proposal, the chance of signing the contract advances to 65%.
The key to customizing the effects probability formula for your business is keeping detailed records of sales presentations by which to compile your statistics. Here is an additional reason to document your company transactions so that reliable data is going to be there to guide your small business planning.

Jane Austen (1775-1817) was an English novelist known primarily for her six major novels—Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion—which observe and critique the British gentry of the late eighteenth century. Her mastery of wit, irony, and social commentary made her a beloved and acclaimed author in her lifetime, a distinction she still enjoys today around the world.

15 Story Tower Near PSU Approved Amid Zoning Debate
Dated: 03/04/2016
Views: 489
A plan to build a 15-story tower near Portland State University with 424 apartments and a ground-floor supermarket won the Portland Design Commission's approval last week, despite neighbors' contention the project may not comply with zoning code.
The commission voted 3-0 to approve the project, by Chicago developer Core Spaces. The property at the northeast corner of Southwest Fourth Avenue and Harrison Street is owned by Portland's Goodman family and is currently a parking lot.
The building has been in the pipeline since 2014, and it took six meetings between the city and developers along with large-scale changes to the design before commissioners were satisfied. Last week's hearing lasted nearly three hours.
"This experience has been truly eye-opening for us," said Chad Matesi, senior vice president of development at Core Spaces, at the hearing. "We've never experienced anything like it. ... The interaction that we've had with [city] staff, with the neighborhood ... has created a project that is much different than when we started and also, I think, more successful than when we started."
In addition to the grocery store, the ground floor of the building will have 5,000 square feet of other retail space. The project will include underground parking spaces for at least 208 vehicles – 137 for residents, 66 for the grocery and five for the additional retail space. The site abuts a pedestrian trail and Pettygrove City Park.
The above-ground square footage comes to nearly 355,200, which is perhaps the figure that most irks the neighbors. The dispute centers on a concept called "floor area ratio," defined as the relationship between a building's total floor area and the size of its footprint. Cities use zoning to put limits on floor area ratio and, in the process, regulate the size of new buildings.
The proposed building at Fourth and Harrison would have a floor area ratio of nearly nine to one. The building would fall into two Portland zones, "Central City" and "South Auditorium," each of which normally limits the ratio to six-to-one.
But in the "Central City" zone, developers can win "bonus" floor area ratio if their projects include a residential use. The Core Spaces proposal is mainly a residential project, so the city is awarding the bonus. The bonus is an extra three-to-one ratio, meaning the Fourth and Harrison proposal falls within the allowed limit.
The neighbors, though, point out that the maximum floor area ratio in the South Auditorium zone is six-to-one, and the city's code language in the South Auditorium plan says, "Where the regulations of this chapter conflict with the regulations of the Central City plan district, the regulations of this chapter prevail."
"The South Auditorium district is overlaid on, and completely enclosed by, the underlying City Center plan district," Thorson wrote. "The South Auditorium overlay was created to ensure special protection – beyond that afforded by the City Center plan – for its exceptional architectural and landscaping features, green spaces, pedestrian experience, and value to the general public. It exists, in other words, because it is by nature more specific than the general City Center district."
But in a city staff report, land-use planner Staci Monroe said there is "no conflict" between the two zones' regulations.
"The South Auditorium plan district does not include any regulations that explicitly prohibit additional floor area ratio above the maximum, either through a bonus option or transfer from another site," Monroe wrote. "Because the South Auditorium plan district does not contain bonus floor area ratio regulations and does not contain any prohibition on bonus floor area ratio, there is no conflict."
Monroe also pointed out that the adjacent Cyan building, which is on the lot north of the Fourth and Harrison site and also in both zones, took advantage of a similar bonus in 2006.
The neighbors have said they do not oppose development at the site, but they feel the Core Spaces proposal is out of scale with the neighborhood.
The Design Commission quibbled with other aspects of the project but largely did not discuss the issues surrounding floor area ratio.

Everyone has wondered, at least once, how life may change in a few years time. Scientists and researchers have been trying to forecast what our children's (and our children's children) lives may look like.
This is a list of my favourite ones, from the most to the least achievable.
Fuel- free cars
Electric cars seem to be the best answer to the oil crisis of the last years. They don't need fossil fuels and can be charged very easily. However, electricity derives from burning fossil fuels as well, so does not solve this problem entirely. Engineers have been experimenting with creating solar cars, which would not need to be charged, as they produce the electricity they consume using solar energy. When there is no sun they can use energy stored during those days when this is in excess.
Habiting not just on the Earth's surface
The world is already overpopulated and life expectancy is still increasing, scientists are beginning to think where we could live when the Earth surface will be completely DFGHDFKGJ. Colonising other planets may be a good solution however, there may be a more simpler way. Underwater restaurants and hotels already exist, this could be the beginning of ocean colonisation. In fact, some scientists suggested that enormous see-through bubbles that encapsulate homes, schools, offices and parks could be built, and water could be used to make oxygen. Hydrogen fuel would also be produced in the process which could be used as energy source. Another suggestion is to build skyscrapers in reverse, where the tip is pointed down into the earth, where people could live and work.
Holidays on Mars
After the discovery of water on Mars, NASA engineers claimed that there could be enough underground water on Mars to sustain human communities. A report written by leading scientists- including one of the UK's leading space scientists Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock, Arthur Mamou-Mani and Toby Burgess, and pioneering urbanists Linda Aitken and Els Leclerq predicted that the common destinations for exotic holidays of the future will be Mars or the Moon.
Longer life without doctors
Thank to advances in medical technologies we might not need doctors, everyone could have a 'medi-pod' in their own homes which could provide a digital diagnosis and act supplying medicine or even through a remote surgeon (surgical robotics is already a reality). This means that hospitals and pharmacies, as well as GP clinics, would disappear. However, efficiency of computers to operate a surgeon without human control this has not been demonstrated yet, the robots in current use are still operated by a qualified surgeon.
Brain-wave sensing machines have been used to 'telepathically' control objects such as helicopters to characters in computer games. Now some scientists state that transferring thoughts from one brain to another could be done just as easily. An experiment on telepathy, where the researchers used electroencephalography (EEG) headsets to record electrical activity from neurons firing in the brain, and convert them into a binary system. Usually in EEG electrical currents in the brain are linked with different thoughts that are then transferred into a computer interface. This computer analyses the signal and controls an action. The scientists, however, decided to replace the computer with another brain. The thought was sent from a volunteer in Thiruvananthapuram, India to Strasbourg, France. There, a computer translated the message and then used electrical stimulation to implant it in the receiver's mind. This message appeared as flashes of light in the corner of his vision. The light appeared in sequences that allowed the receiver to decode the information in the message. Although it was a successful experiment, direct communication between two brains has not happened yet, as we still need computers to mediate between them.
Some of these forecasts seem unrealistic and we might need a while to get used to the idea of such a different world. However, it's worth considering how drastically the world has changed in the past 50 years thanks to the advances in science and technology. Some of the discoveries and inventions described above are already in progress and we may not need 100 years to see some of these changes happen. Work is already in progress to make tomorrows future our present.

Runway Rundown: Off-White Trades Streetwear for Tailored Plaids [PFW]
For his fall-winter collection, Virgil Abloh decided to embrace a new look for his Milan-based label Off-white, this season trading in his usual street wears and graphics for tailored plaids and classically feminine silhouettes. Overall, it was a far more refined lineup than we've seen from him in seasons past, and definitely with more sensible options, but it wasn't exactly a complete break from his old wears.
Throughout his series of slight sixties influences and over-the-knee boots, Abloh balanced the collection's sophisticated "grown-up" vibe with ambitious, mature-yet-still-edgy (and often sexy) options: youthful bralettes, high-waist pencil skirts and cropped denim jackets contrasted a range of striped fur coats, revealing lace slips, sheer dresses with embellished birds and a few flowing draped looks in blush and nude.
From a distance, this was an entirely new Off-white, but at the same time it wasn't. Sure, the woman may have appeared more mature, but Abloh's tailored plaids – when paired with elevated denim options and a vibrant blue hoodie – were a dead-ringer for the Off-white we love. Maybe not anything groundbreaking, but it was every bit as energetic, attractive and well executed as we'd expect from this continuously emerging designer – now going on four years and is stronger than ever.

Pyramid researcher Dr. Sam Osmanagich has visited and investigated Mongrando pyramid hill in northern Italy. After measurements, he has confirmed existence of built pyramidal structure.
It seemed that all the light of the next day had gathered precisely up there.
A woman appeared (a goddess?), who radiated a bright light on the threshold of a cave and the strangers suddenly disappeared, leaving as a guardian a snake in order to sow terror for the valleys.
The symbolism within the legend shows the presence of a Nordic lineage with higher knowledge and with an aspect that resembles those ministers than in the research of Mauro Biglino, starting from the translation of the Bible from ancient Hebrew, are known with the name of Elohim, colonizers, rulers, commonly identified by Christianity as gods or sometimes as demons who often present different lower limbs: palmates, goats, horses, with fish tail or snake-like.
In this regard it is remarkable the presence in the legend of the symbol of the snake which refers to the energy of the one hand feminine connected to wisdom, transformation, rebirth and fertility, on the other to the serpent lineage and the remarkable colonizing deities in the world associated with this archetype:
from the Sumerian deities Enki and Ninkharsag to the Basques Mari and Sugaar, from the Chinese Fu Xi and Nuwa to first Mycenaean king of Athens, Cecrops, depicted as human beings with a snake's tail,
in addition to Nachash, the serpent of Genesis, the Naga, serpent divinity that populated China, the
Tibet and Asia, the Aztecs Quetzalcoatl and Cihaucoqatl. The singular interest shown by all the "gods" of antiquity for gold, called Viracochas on the Andes in the Inca kingdom, Túatha Dé Dànaan in Ireland, Elohim in Palestine, Annunaki in Mesopotamia, Théoi in Greece, Nommo in Mali near the Dogon is well known when we talk about paleo-astronautics, they appeared on board flying vehicles, establishing dominations and imposing extraction.
Why did these entities need gold? In addition to the insulating properties,
appreciated in astronautics, it would also protect from nuclear radiation, but what
is more significant thanks to the recent studies conducted by the medicine, reported by Mauro
Biglino, concerns the functions that monoatomic gold has within human cells. Their
monoatomic has a very important role in biology, and it seems that it can affect the
telomeres, the tails of chromosomes, avoiding cellular aging.
This means that the function of gold went far beyond the simple monetary function,
creative or ritual for jewelry and ornaments. It represented a cure, a long elixir
life, the philosopher's stone always sought by Alchemists.
Perhaps the time has come to reveal the secrets that make the Bessa Natural Reserve
a place so evocative that it still leads researchers to extract gold on
traces of a past that involves the entire planet, a past that needs to be
shown in all its clarity.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) and WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) A conservative legislator in Kansas is pursuing a proposal to prevent transgender high school and middle school students from playing on sports teams aligned with their gender identities.
LGBTQ rights advocates are trying to kill it even before he can formally introduce it.
The LGBTQ rights group Equality Kansas had a Statehouse news conference Thursday to denounce the proposal from Republican Rep. Michael Capps, of Wichita.
Capps told reporters that his goal is "athletic protection for girls." But Kansas City-area Democratic Rep. Brandon Woodard called the bill "repugnant" and said, "Bills like this are why young LGBTQ kids die by suicide."
This is a debate that has been ongoing between LGBTQ advocates and some lawmakers across the country. The claim is that "biological girls" and "biological boys" are different when it comes to athletics.
"This is a bill not designed to attack on anybody. It's designed to create equality for biological girls who want to compete with other biological girls," Capps says. "At the end of the day, there is a difference between boys and girls."
A local representative for GLSEN, an education organization "working to end discrimination, harassment, and bullying based on sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression," says the debate is not that simple.
"I think there's a real misunderstanding of what trans girls and trans boys go through and what requirements they need to go through to be able to play sports," says LGBTQ advocate Liz Hamor, chapter director of GLSEN Kansas.
When it comes to whether a student in middle school or high school should be allowed to play on sports teams aligned with their gender identity. Hamor says there are many other factors beyond an athlete's gender assigned at birth.
"Students take hormone blockers, a lot of puberty blockers, which means they don't always go through the puberty that is of their gender that they were assigned at birth," Hamor says.
Capps recognizes that having transgender students play on a sports team aligned with their gender identity hasn't been a major issue in Kansas, but he says he wants to be proactive and be proactive to keep a level playing field for athletes competing in girls' sports.
On behalf of GLSEN, Hamor says Capps' bill would only create more barriers.
"This bill would create more barriers for transgender students to experience a well-rounded education," she says."Like all students, transgender students deserve to participate in all the activities and athletics a school has to offer. We need legislation that will help
protect the most vulnerable, bullied, and harassed students, not legislation that spreads harmful bias and misunderstandings."
