Accreditation and strategic planning go hand-in-hand
Accreditation and strategic planning go hand-in-hand for Gaston County Schools
With the accreditation process complete and all schools earning the prestigious "quality school" distinction, Gaston County Schools is working on its strategic plan for the next five years.
The 2019-2024 Strategic Plan will take effect July 1; it is being finalized now and will be presented to the Board of Education for consideration and approval. The plan outlines the school district's guiding principles for the next five years and includes the vision, mission, and goals.
Accreditation and strategic planning go hand-in-hand. Both processes happen every five years and serve as a time for evaluation, reflection, and looking ahead. Accreditation is a year-long, comprehensive effort that culminates with a team of educators visiting the district to observe, evaluate, interview stakeholders, collect data, and ultimately determine whether to grant accreditation. Once accreditation is complete, strategic planning begins.
Accreditation is conducted by AdvancED, a non-profit, non-partisan organization that conducts rigorous, on-site reviews of more than 36,000 educational institutions and systems in the United States and 70 countries. The evaluation team visited Gaston County Schools in February 2018. Following the visit, the team spent several months completing its evaluation and determining areas of strengths and what the district should do to fulfill its commitment to continuous improvement.
The evaluation team made a recommendation to grant full accreditation to Gaston County Schools as a district as well as accreditation for each of the district's 55 schools. The accreditation is valid until 2023 when the review process happens again.
Superintendent of Schools W. Jeffrey Booker stated, "The accreditation team used a rating system that evaluated various areas as either exceeds expectations, meets expectations, emerging, or needs improvement. We had 10 areas to exceed expectations, 15 areas to meet expectations, six areas that were emerging, and no areas in need of improvement – this is an outstanding accomplishment for Gaston County Schools."
Here are five highlights from the accreditation team's review:
▪ The team acknowledged the district's culture of engagement and shared decision-making efforts as well as school leaders' commitment to collaboration and focusing on students' needs.
▪ During visits to schools, the team saw well-managed classrooms with well-behaved students who were supported by a caring staff. They characterized the schools as "very safe and conducive to learning."
▪ The team commended the district's progress in Career and Technical Education (CTE) and were impressed by the number of students who have earned CTE credentials, commenting that the district is "empowering our graduates."
▪ The team was pleased to see how the district invests in its employees and the educational services provided for children. They believe the expansion of school choice options will give students an opportunity to "find what they like, and it will help them to thrive."
▪ The team members complimented Gaston County Schools for maintaining a sense of neighborhood pride and a commitment to community-based schools.
With accreditation complete, school and district leaders began the strategic planning process last fall. Strategic planning involved evaluating the district's current vision, mission, and goals and working with various stakeholder groups (students, parents, employees, business/community partners, etc.) to gather feedback about priorities for the next five years. The draft plan includes four overarching goals.
Dr. Booker added, "Moving forward, we will continue to provide a safe school environment for students and employees, work to ensure that our graduates are ready for college and careers, employ a qualified workforce that is dedicated to the education of children, and use innovative practices to give our students a dynamic and challenging educational experience."

Radiophone to reach approx 1.4 million through 10 community radio stations in North and Central India
Galli Galli Sim Sim, the Indian version of world renowned educational children's series Sesame Street, is now increasing its impact and reach to families in North and Central India with its radiophone project. Supported by Schwab Charitable Fund, the Galli Galli Sim Sim radiophone initiative aims to address the educational needs of disenfranchised children through a convergence of technologies.
The radiophone project includes a localized Galli Galli Sim Sim educational program aired on 10 community radio stations. It features 60 brand new Galli Galli Sim Sim radio episodes with a curricular focus on literacy, math and healthy habits for life. These radio episodes reach 10 community radio stations in North and Central India – Chamba & Supi (Uttarakhand), Lalitpur(U.P), Solan(H.P), Mewat, Ghaghas & Gurgaon(Haryana), and Orchha & Shivpuri (M.P), and cover an area with a population of approximately 1.4 million people over a period of 24 months.In addition, there is a provision for educational content and interaction with the radio program through telephone and community-level advocacy to promote policy changes that improve access to services.
This unique initiative of taking education to every corner of India kicked off last year with Gurgaon ki Awaaz, Gurgaon's popular community radio station. The program which commenced with a focus on delivering key health and educational messages to children and parents also provides community members with a platform to take up the most critical issues in their town/city.
Through this radiophone initiative, Galli Galli Sim Sim is also supporting expansion and update of Gramin Rural Interface Network System (GRINS) to these community radio stations. Training has been imparted to all radio stations to localize the Galli Galli Sim Sim radio episodes and run the GRINS applications to track calls and manage the program. In addition to this effort, this initiative also conducts events that encourage community involvement, as well as it seeks to raise public awareness and influence education through policy advocacy. . Recent data from GRINS suggests an increasing response to the GGSS program. During June to August, over 290 calls have been received at the radio stations to discuss issues raised during the GGSS program. Episodes on physical health received 97 calls and remain the current favourite amongst the listeners.
According to Sashwati Banerjee, Managing Trustee, Sesame Workshop India Trust, "Our Galli Galli Sim Sim initiative has been capitalizing on technology to teach children of rural or marginalized populations. With expansion of community radio initiative across these places, Galli Galli Sim Sim is building an innovative and sustainable model that can be replicated to bring quality early learning experiences to disadvantaged children across India. Through our initiative we also aim to create awareness among the community on Right to Education Act – roles and responsibilities of various institutions, right of the child and that of a parent."

Presented by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and its partners World Vision and the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) during an International Literacy Day celebration at USAID headquarters in Washington, DC, Galli Galli Sim Sim was among three recipients to win the award for pioneering innovative solutions to improve early grade reading in the developing world.

The threat of military action in Syria and the consequent rise in crude oil prices have, in the last two days, emerged as new factors contributing to the pressure on the rupee that sank to 68.85 intra-day against the dollar on Wednesday before closing at 68.80, down 3.86 per cent, the biggest fall in 18-years.
There are indeed concerns over the Food Security Bill's impact on the fiscal deficit, but the market was well aware about its impending passage and thus its contribution to rupee's woes is minimal, said analysts.
Sentiment continues to remain extremely weak as the market reads RBI as defenceless. Traders are also speculating that a lot of corporates are yet unhedged on their borrowings and may want to cover given what has been happening in the spot market. "There is fear that the U.S. will strike on Syria and that has created more risk. Crude oil prices have started moving up due to the Syrian factor, and it will lead to more dollar outflow. Other concerns remaining the same, these two external factors have caused massive volatility in the foreign exchange market," said DK Joshi, Chief Economist of rating agency Crisil.
Mr. Joshi felt that the passage of the Food Security Bill had no bearing on the free fall of the rupee or flight of FIIs from the stock market.
"This (bill) is not a new factor. It was always believed that this bill will be passed and the market had factored it," Mr. Joshi said.
Agreeing with him Ambareesh Baliga, Managing Partner, Global Wealth Management at Edelweiss Financial, said "It (bill) was not the trigger, it was known to the market that it would go through".
He said demand for dollar from oil companies, short-covering and speculative buying of dollar by corporates have caused sudden pressure on the rupee.
Care Ratings is of the opinion that the fall of the rupee is being driven by sentiment and the rise in oil prices has added to the woes.
"The Food Security Bill has spooked the market because it believes that the fiscal balances will get distorted and we could slip up here," said Rajesh Mokashi, Deputy Managing Director, Care Ratings.
"The fact that oil prices are rising and the government will not be able to pass on the cost fully due to this being an election year — the market has taken it with desperation," Mr. Mokashi added. Bharat Petroleum Corporation Chairman and Managing Director R. K. Singh told The Hindu that abnormally high crude prices would sharply increase the under-recovery of oil marketing companies. "Each Re.1 depreciation against the dollar increases under-recovery by 80 to 90 paise," Mr. Singh said.
Stating that the Food Security Bill played a big role in the rupee's sharp fall, forex trading firm, Alpari India's Regional Director Monjit Gogoi said the industry was reading that that this measure would add to the already high fiscal deficit.
"The industry feels that this is negative on the economy. Second, the rise in crude oil prices due to the impending action on Syria has caused more concern. Crude prices have gone haywire and since India is a net importer of crude oil, it would be severely affected. The dampness in the economy is adding to these problems and as September approaches, FIIs are pulling out draining dollars," Mr. Gogoi said. According to analysts, the rupee will remain volatile and it would cross the 70-mark soon. "Now that crude is headed towards $120 a barrel, the situation is really crazy. In the immediate span rupee would slip to 72 and 75 thereafter", said Mr. Gogoi. Crisil's Mr. Joshi said that the rupee would stabilise at 60 by March 2014.
"We have to endure this pain. We have to wait for things to stabilize and now only wait and watch," Mr. Joshi said.

Thanks to Frequent Flyer Bonuses for sharing this British Airways Avios transfer bonus. Until March 8th, British Airways is offering a 35% conversion bonus from most major hotel loyalty programs, but not all make sense.
Eligible hotel loyalty programs:
• SPG Starpoints
• Marriott Rewards points
• IHG Rewards Club points
• Hyatt Gold Passport points
• Shangri-La Golden Circle Award Points
• Club Carlson Gold points
• Hilton HHonors
How the transfer works
British Airways will add 35% more Avios (points) 4-6 weeks after the hotel points transfer takes place. You can view the hotel point conversion rates to Avios, here, which vary between programs.
There are some fine print details of this promotion which can be found, here. One of the things to pay attention to is the transfer minimums, which also vary by program.
• Club Carlson – 2,000 points
• Hilton Honors – 10,000
• Hyatt Gold Passport – 5,000
• IHG Rewards Club – 10,000
• Marriott Rewards – 10,000
• Shangri-La Golden Circle– 2,500
• Starwood Preferred Guest – 2,500
SPG or Marriott?
Now that SPG and Marriott have begun their merger, you can transfer points between the two programs once you link your accounts. SPG converts to Marriott at 1:3 and Marriott to SPG at 3:1. If you send 30,000 Marriott points over to SPG, you'll net 10,000 SPG (Starwood) points.
Starwood – SPG has an awesome transfer portfolio of 30 airline partners, British Airways being one of them. On top of a variety of transfer options, SPG will also add a 5,000 point bonus when you transfer in 20,000 point chunks.
With some simple math, 20,000 SPG points (or 60k Marriott points converted to SPG) = 25,000 British Airways Avios (after 5k bonus from SPG), then sprinkle on the 35% hotel bonus. That earns you a total of 33,750 British Airways Avios from just 20,000 SPG points or 60,000 Marriott points. A decent option if you can squeeze out the value of your Avios.
Round-trip to Ireland from US
Aer Lingus is an Ireland based airline and happens to be partners with British Airways. They use an award chart based on actual flight distance since you are spending your Avios in this case. Most airlines are flat-rate based on regions, not the case with Avios. You can catch a non-stop flight from 9 US airports to Dublin, Ireland. (From JFK you can reach Shannon, Ireland as well)
As you can see, zone 5 only requires 13,000 Avios for a one-way economy flight during off-peak (*PDF download). Zone 5 includes all North-East hubs as well as Chicago. Zone 6, at 16,250 Avios one-way, will cover Los Angeles, San Francisco, Orlando, and Miami (which launches in September)
Rates by airport
• JFK – 13,000 one-way off peak – in economy
• BDL – 13,000 one-way off peak – in economy
• EWR – 13,000 one-way off peak – in economy
• BOS – 13,000 one-way off peak – in economy
• ORD – 13,000 one-way off peak – in economy
• IAD – 13,000 one-way off peak – in economy
• LAX – 16,250 one-way off peak – in economy
• SFO – 16,250 one-way off peak – in economy
• MCO – 16,250 one-way off peak – in economy
• MIA – 16,250 one-way off peak – in economy
Off-peak covers about 9 months out of the year, so with some flexibility you can get a great round-trip to Dublin or Shannon. The sweet-spot is that ALL of May and the first half of June are OFF-PEAK. Take advantage of the savings when the weather is great.
Booking Aer Lingus using Avios
You will want to look for award availability on United.com before you start planning your trip. Once on United.com, search for non-stop award travel from one of the 9 airports to Dublin, IE (DUB). Since British Airways is based on the flight distance of each segment, you will need to find non-stop direct flights. It may make sense to use a cheap positioning flight to one of these 9 airports if you live elsewhere.
What to look for on United.com (mandatory):
• Non-stop
• Operated by Aer Lingus
• Saver Award – 30k points one-way
Once you find a flight you are happy with, you will need to call British Airways to book the flight using your Avios. Don't mind the 30,000 United points, remember, you are just looking for flight availability. Reach out to British Airways by phone to book: 1-800-247-9297.
Again, you will need 13,000 Avios off-peak one-way from; JFK, BOS, ORD, IAD, BDL, EWR and you will need 16,250 Avios off-peak one-way from; SFO, LAX, MCO, MIA
If you have 20,000 SPG points or 60,000 Marriott points, you can now score a round-trip from 9 US airports to Ireland. Keep in mind the hotel transfer bonus ends on 3/8/17 and takes 4-6 weeks to post to your account.
Another cool thing. you'll have either 7,750 or 1,250 Avios left over if you transfer 20k SPG points and use them towards your round-trip to Ireland. (Depending on your departure airport, of course)
The same round-trip referenced above, LAX to DUB, is currently showing a $776 cash price. Considering you'll pay about $140 in fees on top of your points, that is still great redemption, if you ask me.
More Math
20,000 SPG points + $140
Same flight is $776 – $140 in fees (which are already priced into your cash ticket but are paid out-of-pocket when redeeming points)
$636 in savings by redeeming 20,000 SPG points, a stellar 3.1 cents per point in this example (plus some Avios left over)

111th Congress Added More Debt Than First 100 Congresses Combined: $10,429 Per Person in U.S.
It was historic.
Barack Obama tripledthe national deficit in one year. When Speaker Pelosi took over Congress the national deficit was $162 billion. When she exits in 2011 as Speaker it will be at $1.29 Trillion dollars.
Obama topped a trillion dollars his second year, too.
(The Captain's Comments)
Spending was up 84% under Obama.
That's not all…
Barack Obama is the worst jobs president since the Great Depression and possibly the worst jobs president in US history.
After two years of policy failures Democrats have now switched gears and are trying to silence the opposition. They understand their policies don't work and have decided that smearing their conservative opposition may be their best way back into power.
This explains why the democrat-media complex including Media Matters, Daily Kos, Keith Olbermann, CNN, The New York Times, democratic politicians, etc. are working overtime to pin the mass murder by an anti-war, anti-Christian, anti-Constitution, left-wing, pro-Marx, antiflag, "quite liberal" lunatic on right-wing politicos. The left can't win in the arena of ideas. Their policies have been a complete disaster. So, rather than acknowledging their errors and correcting course, they are trying to silence good God-fearing conservatives. And, they wonder why they're called socialists?

What Not To Say To A Pregnant Military Wife
Getting pregnant is no joke, especially when your better half is in the military. Aside from the husband, their loved ones, and friends, the entire community plays a very vital role in helping the pregnant military wife. And this should really be taken seriously by everyone especially when you get to meet and mingle with a pregnant military wife.
Well, don't get us wrong. Most people are generally nice; however, there are some who have quite become a little bit insensitive of what we usually say or ask our fellows. Whether we actually (slightly) mean it or not, we should refrain from giving quite tactless remarks (consciously or unconsciously) to others particularly those people who are faced with a difficult situation.
Most pregnant women run into at least one or five people who feel the need to make inappropriate comments, be it about how big your belly is. At times, they get into some awkward situations like strangers rubbing their belly or asking nasty things about them and their pregnancy that they might not be totally aware of.
Yes, people can be rude at times, but it's a "special kind of rudeness" to say or ask these things to a pregnant spouse of a military soldier. Here are some of those remarks you should NEVER say to her:
Why don't you wait until your husband is out of the military, so, you know, there is no chance of him dying?
Come to think of it, this doesn't really make sense. It is as if civilians don't get hit by buses, in car accidents or have some freak diseases and sudden heart attacks. If we all waited to live our life until retirement or contracts ended, or when we know exactly what the future holds, what kind of life would that be? After all, playing safe in this life isn't always the best thing to do.
Aren't you scared of being a single mother with your number of children?
Who wouldn't be, in the first place? No doubt, every wife wants the husband to be on their side all throughout her years. They both wish to grow old together and see their kids grow like the persons they want to be. Asking this question makes her think that it is as if having a spouse deployed wasn't hard enough. And yes, ask this and emphasize how it would be so difficult for her to raise the kids while the father is on duty.
Isn't he scheduled to deploy?
No one actually knows. Obviously, it is something to think about, but planning life around the military's constantly changing schedule is nearly impossible. This makes her think that no one could probably understand their situation and of course, their military family life set-up.
What are you going to do if he deploys?
How do you want the preggy wife to answer this "really insensitive" query?! One soon-to-be-mom said, "What do people want me to say here? Am I going to abort my baby? Of course not. We are going to figure things out and make the transition as smooth as possible for our family. What would you do?"
Well, that is just so sweet of you to ask. Hence, would you put your life on hold? Get a divorce over a pending deployment? Maybe you can help me figure out what I'm doing wrong in my life.
Did you plan it or did it happen during one of his visits?
No, we conceived telepathically while he was away. Do you really have to ask such things? Just, OMG!
When are you moving home to your parents' house?
Come on, she's a grown-up (perhaps even with a job), a home, and a life. She's not running home to mommy when things get hard. She has her ways to do things and run her own life, including her own family.
I don't know how you do it. I don't think I could.
Yes, you probably couldn't make it if you were on her shoe. Though those words from you may seem a very nice compliment, it can still be perceived as something that could bother her, especially if she feels that such is uttered with a bit of sarcasm.
So the next time you are caught in these situations or encounter a pregnant military wife, let's be more mindful of what we say or ask. Let's be more sensitive and supportive of them, folks.

IB Middle Years Program
Personal Project | Contact | Program Information | Twitter
Springbrook High School has been an IB World School since 1996, the year Springbrook's prestigious IB Diploma Program, offered to students in 11th and 12th, grade was authorized. In August 2009, Springbrook High School introduced the IBMYP program to the class of 2013.
The MYP Programme at Springbrook
High School is in partnership with Francis Scott Key Middle School. Together, our
program runs from grade 6 through grade 10 for all students. The MYP is all
inclusive and its mission is to provide students lifelong learning skills and
dispositions. The IBMYP is a philosophy of international education designed to
help 11 to 16 year old students (9th and 10th graders at Springbrook HS)
develop the knowledge, understanding, attitudes and skills necessary to
participate actively and responsibly in a changing world. For those that come
to Springbrook from other middle schools, they will have the opportunity to
access the program in both 9th and 10th grade.
This year, Springbrook High School, along with its partner, Francis Scott Key Middle School, was chosen by MCPS to pilot a new MYP Progress Report. The progress report will be given to parents at the end of each semester.
The diagram below represents the curriculum model of the InternationalBaccalaureate Middle Years Programme (MYP). Based on the international success of the IB Diploma Programme, the International Baccalaureate established the Middle Years Programme in 1992. The MYP is a five-year program for students aged 11 - 16 years. Like the IB Diploma Programme, the MYP is academically rigorous and promotes intercultural understanding and interdisciplinary study. However, the MYP offers schools the flexibility to follow locally-established curricula, while infusing such curricula with a focus on critical thinking, holistic development of the individual, communication in multiple languages and international-mindedness. The Middle Years Programme can also serve as excellent preparation for the IB Diploma Programme, as the two programs are part of one continuum of international education.
Each of the eight subject groups is taught through the context of the Areas of Interaction. The Areas of Interaction distinguish the MYP from either the IB Diploma Programme or a more traditional course of study and can best be understood as themes which are repeatedly addressed throughout the academic subjects. They include: Environments, Human Ingenuity, Health and Social Education, and Community and Service. The fifth Area of Interaction, Approaches to Learning, provides an additional focus on the explicit thinking and learning skills that are developed over the course of the five-year program. As a result of the interweaving of these contexts throughout the traditional academic subjects, students come to see the complex interrelationships between subject areas and content that have traditionally been taught in isolation.

In the documentation i read;
The following folders (and everything in them) should be chmod'ed to '777':
Usually you won't have to set the file rights again after upgrading PivotX.
Well that will make a security issue as we know.
First off all i run my own webserver (Apache with PHP and MySQL)under Debian, i use Webmin to administrate...
I have a user called "web" that means he has it's own home dir and mailbox etc.
In the home directory i install Pivotx, then i make from the www directory (the Internet reachable directory) a virtual link to the install directory of Pivotx like;
home/users/web/PivotX/ <<<And here is the pivotx
var/www/html/PivotX <<<This is linked to the home/user/PivotX directory. (as you can see in the image my user web has the html directory in it's home)
Then when i want to reach it i can use http:// mi ip/PivotX or http://mydomain.ug/PivotX and the installer will take off, NOW it's important that the directory user rights are set well before installing,
My user is "web" and he belongs to the group "www-data", www-data has rights to do things witch are related to reading and writing in directory's that are belonging to the internet.
But www-data is also a user, so i set the user rights to chmod -Rt www-data and chgrp -Rt www-data....After that i will start the installation.
So all files will be installed with the right of www-data than afterwords you can set the directory rights for the db directory to a 755 and pivotx will be function ok.
It's maybe helpful but don't know for me it's working, and as i can change all file's in pivot it self and upload image and so there's no problem.
Second is to find out how to set .htaccess.
I will post on that later.

This eye-opening session shows you how to add the right value and lower employee absenteeism, attract new hires, and create a workplace that can pay off in huge and surprising ways. This session is about placing The Cherry on Top by developing and delivering value in everything you do.

Message of solidarity
10 September 2003
Letter to the Protestant Federation of Haiti and member churches, 10 September, 2003
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I would like to address you with the words used by the Apostle Paul in his
address to the Christians of Corinth:
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the all-merciful Father, the
God whose consolation never fails us! He comforts us in all our troubles, so that we in turn
may be able to comfort others in any trouble of theirs and to share with them the consolation
we ourselves receive from God." (2 Cor. 1, 3-4)
We have received and read with a lot of concern your message to the nation on
August 7th, 2003: "Is Haiti being led to impunity, gangsterism and criminality?" The
question you are asking seems to have an affirmative answer in the text of your
message. You have made a very troubling analysis of the situation in your country.
Your message is very critical and demands a quick response.
In response to the appeal you send to the international community, the World
Council of Churches (WCC) would like to assure you of the solidarity of its member
churches and our attention to the situation in Haiti. Several churches are following
closely the developments in your country. We are convinced that the
increased suffering of the population renders necessary, more than ever, a dialogue
between the different parties in conflict, so that the living conditions of the Haitian
population may truly change.
During the last WCC visit to Haiti in March 2002, our representatives were
witnesses to the degree of violence in the country and they called for our churches
to lead a large movement of peaceful protest. Such an action is very pertinent
in the framework of the Decade "Overcome Violence - the churches' search for reconciliation
and peace" launched by the WCC in 2001. Since this visit, the situation has
not improved. Quite the contrary, your message underlines the constant degradation
which the Haitian society suffers. The churches in Haiti have worked courageously
to defend human dignity and to help the population in its fight for survival.
We pray God to bless the reconciliation efforts by the churches and the
Christian population in Haiti.
A joint delegation from the WCC, the Caribbean Conference of Churches and
the World Service from the US churches will visit Haiti in November this year
in response to an invitation from the Protestant Federation of Haiti. We believe
this visit will be an occasion to reinforce our ties of solidarity with the churches
and the Haitian people, and to share our common hope.
We appeal to the Government of Haiti urgently to apply integrally the resolutions
806 and 822 from the Organization of American States.
Please receive, dear friends, our fraternal support and prayers. As you say yourselves
in your message: "Resist brothers and sisters. Do not pact with the Evil.
Denounce the crimes and the criminals." And with the Apostle Paul we say: "Mend
your ways; take our appeal to heart; agree with one another; live in peace; and the God of
love and peace will be with you." (2 Cor. 13:11)
In the communion of faith,
Konrad Raiser
General Secretary

First Year on the Cowles Center Roster: 2015
Arts in Education Programs: Workshops, Dance Without Barriers, Creations Residency, MovementWise
Style(s): Jazz, Swing, House, Funk, Modern, Creative Movement
Teaching Artist Philosophy: "In my classes, students experience and analyze embodiment as a versatile, effective, personal and interpersonal way to communicate. I provide students with a laboratory to explore how dancing connects us to ourselves and one another through historical and contemporary perspectives. I specialize in teaching academic lecture courses and all levels of jazz dance with keen attention to the form's base in African diasporic aesthetics, and I also have extensive experience teaching modern, ballet and tap, and American vernacular styles including Appalachian clogging and Old School and House hip-hop styles."
Erinn Liebhard (MFA University of Colorado Boulder, BFA University of Minnesota) is a dance artist making opportunities for people to experience the connective and reflective power of groove. Having grown up dancing socially at her dad's rock band's gigs, she discovered at a young age how exhilarating it can be to feel and share groove. Guided by this inspiration and a fondness for jazz and the American vernacular, she teaches as faculty at Winona State University and Zenon Dance School in addition to her work as a Cowles Center Teaching Artist. She also creates her own choreographic work and supports and presents new work by others in jazz and American vernacular dance through Rhythmically Speaking, the organization she co-founded and artistic directs. Erinn has performed for groove-driven creatives as varied as hip-hop dance theater artist Rennie Harris and the Wild Goose Chase Cloggers Appalachian clogging company and is currently a member of Afro-Brazilian contemporary company Contempo Physical Dance. She also flexes her physical comedy muscles playing self-created character entertainer "Nerdette" for Saint Paul Saints Baseball's Entertainment Team. Erinn is grateful her work helps people feel the groove in their experiences, connecting to history, themselves and one another through embodying music.

Fit and Diverse: Set Evolution for Inspiring 3D Shape Galleries
We introduce set evolution as a means for creative 3D shape modeling, where an initial population of 3D models is evolved to produce generations of novel shapes. Part of the evolving set is presented to a user as a shape gallery to offer modeling suggestions. User preferences define the fitness for the evolution so that over time, the shape population will mainly consist of individuals with good fitness. However, to inspire the user's creativity, we must also keep the evolving set diverse. Hence the evolution is "fit and diverse", drawing motivation from evolution theory. We introduce a novel part crossover operator which works at the finer-level part structures of the shapes, leading to significant variations and thus increased diversity in the evolved shape structures. Diversity is also achieved by explicitly compromising the fitness scores on a portion of the evolving population. We demonstrate the effectiveness of set evolution on man-made shapes. We show that selecting only models with high fitness leads to an elite population with low diversity. By keeping the population fit and diverse, the evolution can generate inspiring, and sometimes unexpected, shapes.

text: Well after a 3.45am start this morning, mucking out 6, working 2, fetching 2 in and putting 3 out, at 6 o'clock Annie and I set off for Bradwall Horse Trials with Dudley and Cherry. We got as far as Nantwich when we had a text to say it had been abandoned due to heavy overnight rain. So about turn to sulk at home. Over coffee we discussed what we could do instead, when we had a phone call off fellow supporter Nicola telling us to get her horse in, we were all off showing!!!!! So we loaded back up and headed to Tushingham Arena. I took Dudley in the Retraining of Racehorses class for 3rd place. He then did the last of the Training Working Hunter classes for 2nd, having jumped a super clear round. We were beaten my Nicola on Mr Gus. Next it was Cherry's turn in the Novice Working Hunter. She was impeccable. Jumped a super clear and did a lovely show with a fantastic gallop up for 1st place. Not bad considering we don't do showing but it does make you think we could have had an equally as good day eventing :-(
