An executive rental car may well be the perfect choice – whether for touring the South Island or for that extra bit of comfort when attending meetings in around Christchurch. In the executive category for our hire cars we have both Nissan Teanas & Nissan Fugas (and sometimes other cars like Camrys, Outlanders or similar as well) that have a bit more space and power than your normal run of the mill rental car.
Being smooth, quiet and powerful these cars tend to be favoured for those that enjoy driving and like to see the sights that the beautiful South Island offers.

Accommodation in Perth
- Purchase the complete Expat Arrivals Perth Guide (PDF)
Accommodation in Perth, as in greater Australia, comes in all shapes and sizes. Expats will need to decide what kind of property they prefer, what kind of property they can afford, and in which area or suburb of Perth they'd like that property to be located before beginning their search.
Types of property in Perth
Expats will find that there are plenty of housing options available in Perth. It ranges from furnished and unfurnished apartments (known as flats), to houses, studios and luxury apartments. The standard of accommodation varies significantly depending on the area.
It is worth noting that houses in Perth are built to keep their residents cool and not warm. Thus, central heating and double-glazed windows are a rarity. To keep warm in winter months it helps to look for houses that get a lot of natural light, have north-facing windows or have put the more modern tenets of insulation into practice.
For expats on short-term assignments, renting is more common than buying property. For those who are considering buying, one upside of Perth's recently declining economy is that housing has become more affordable. Expats will certainly find that properties in Perth have better value for money than those in Sydney or Melbourne.
Finding property in Perth
Expats will find that they may be required to do most of the house-hunting themselves. Resources like newspaper classifieds and internet searches are helpful in finding some options.
Alternatively, working with a real estate agent can make the process simpler and may yield better results than going it alone. Real estate agents also often have access to property listings before they go on the open market. However, employing an agent does usually come at a cost of around 10 to 20 percent of the rental cost.
Renting property in Perth
Viewings for accommodation in Perth are usually at set times, and if the property is well-priced, expats should expect to be viewing with a number of other people. Many properties are managed through an agent and references will usually be required.
Rent for accommodation in Perth is payable monthly and is typically payable at the end of each month to the real estate agent or landlord. Utility bills are usually not included in the rental price and are the responsibility of the tenant to pay.

Prince of Thorns follows the early life of Jorg Ancrath, who is the son of a king. At age nine he is left to die in a briar patch after watching his mother -- the queen -- and his brother brutally murdered (thus the Prince of Thorns). This traumatic experience leads Jorg to a path of vengeance and revenge as an outlaw to the kingdom.
The best part about Prince of Thorns is the dark, yet sympathetic, character Jorg. His need to hurt others and extract vengeance makes this book a stimulating read. It challenges the readers perception of what a hero should be and whether Jorg is justified in choosing a life as an outlaw rather than returning to his father the king.
For the most part, I enjoyed the story. I loved the way Jorg found unique solutions to risky situations. I also liked the direction of the series plot. However, the ending of Prince of Thorns felt rushed and left me disappointed. It felt as if the book took a violent twist in a direction that no one could see coming. Mark Lawrence could have simply had someone walk up to Jorg and say, "Oh, by the way, here's what's really going on. Go kill the guy." In fact, that's basically how it happened. We have our suspicions (without any evidence) that the author was forced to chop the original manuscript into pieces in order to satisfy a publisher. Chopping up a book just to make more money is one of the things we frown upon. Fortunately for the author, he didn't chop it right before a cliff hanger or this book would have made our list of Worst Fantasy Books.
Another disappointment is that Jorg is the only character who we get to know well. The other characters in the book felt like extras in a movie; something necessary to fill a scene, but doesn't serve any other purpose.
Overall, Prince of Thorns is a good, but not great read. However, the series as a whole makes a great read so if you start Prince of Thorns expect to read all three in the series for a satisfying ending.

I didn't have a great experience with Tim. that out of the way I think I would go with his partner Jeremy Satera ( Satera tuning) who has a lot more N/A tuning experience than Tim and offers the same packages. warning....you will be shocked at the prices Jeremy charges. there are other options in the northern Il southern Wi area.
I agree with the last two posts. Modern Muscle in Plainfield Il, straighten my car out after Tim tuned it. Problem for me is MM is 50 miles away and Satera is 15 minutes away.

Questrade (Canada) does not work anymore? the last transactions are from 14 Nov 2018; since then it says refresh is successful but amounts are from 2 months ago.
I've edited my credentials on Mint and clicked the 'link account' again, it says it Creating secure connection... completed successfully with a green checkmark, yet it also states at the top of the account that the last refresh was 2 months ago (and the most recent transactions I have are about 2 months old).
Whenever I refresh the account, it shows successful, never shows an error.
I'm aware that in Questrade, you should make sure that User -> Settings -> Update home base -> my account (and not trading, otherwise the landing page is trading and Mint cannot get the needed information).
Visually, the Questrade site looks the same; wondering if they are now blocking the site; I've contacted Questrade but they could not tell me if that was the case.
So I'm wondering if anyone else have this problem now.

Following the recent National Work Zone Awareness week, authorities in California likely hope that this program will bring about safer work zones -- for both vehicle operators and construction workers. Reportedly, the average number of lives lost in construction zones nationwide each year exceeded 700. Statistics show that commercial motor vehicles are involved in a significant percentage work zone accidents that result in personal injury or worse.
Stagehand's death might bring workers' compensation claim
During the preparation of the grounds at the Empire Polo Club in Indio in the week leading up to the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, a tragic workplace accident claimed the life of a stagehand. Although his family will be eligible for financial assistance with the funeral and burial costs through the California workers' compensation system, nothing can ever make up for a loved one's death. The deceased worker was a 49-year-old San Diego man.

Physical contact with patients endangers psychiatric workers
Dog attacks to workers can lead to personal injury lawsuits
The ASPCA says almost half of households nationwide, including California, have one or more dogs as pets -- an estimated 70 to 80 million dogs across all states. These numbers increase the chances of package deliverers, cable installers, meter readers, police officers and postal carriers being victims of dog attacks. While some such attacks lead to no more than minor personal injury, dog attacks could be deadly.

Riski "Kong" Umar defeated his fellow Indonesian mixed martial artist Doan Birawa at "ONE: Grit and Glory" at the Jakarta Convention Center in Jakarta, Indonesia on May 12, 2018. It was the third time Umar won a ONE Championship bout.
Umar and Birawa competed in the strawweight division, which is currently dominated by reigning ONE Strawweight World Champion Alex Silva of Brazil. The strawweight bout between Umar and Birawa was put to a stop by referee Yuji Shimada at 1:22 of Round 2.
Birawa was submitted by Umar via rear-naked choke. This is the first time Umar won a professional MMA bout via submission.
On September 16, 2017, Umar made his successful ONE Championship debut. He knocked out his fellow Indonesian fighter Adi Nugroho via punches at 2:00 of Round 1 at "ONE: Total Victory" at the Jakarta Convention Center.
On January 20, 2018, Umar returned to the Jakarta Convention Center for "ONE: Kings of Courage." He defeated his fellow Indonesian fighter Eka Aprilianto via technical knockout via punches at 4:20 of Round 1.
It was on March 9, 2018 when Umar had his first loss as a professional MMA fighter, which was also his first defeat in ONE Championship. He lost to Khun Sichan of Cambodia via unanimous decision at "ONE: Visions of Victory" at the Axiata Arena in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
While "ONE: Grit and Glory" marked Umar's fourth ONE Championship bout, it marked Birawa's promotional debut. It was also the first professional MMA bout of Birawa.
In the co-main event of "ONE: Grit and Glory," Stefer Rahardian of Indonesia competed against Himanshu Kaushik of India.
In the main event of the evening, Silva defended his title from former champion Yoshitaka Naito of Japan in a rematch.

Watch Ben Affleck in New 'The Accountant' Trailer
In advance of the release of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, there was little doubt that Ben Affleck could deliver an excellent performance as the wealthy and powerful Bruce Wayne. But would he be credible as a superhero?
Almost everyone who saw the movie became a believer in Affleck's transformative powers. It may sound easy -- just put on a costume and let special effects experts and stunt doubles make up the difference -- but Affleck remained credible and authentic, even when he wore a mask that covered up most of his face. That's a testament to Affleck's abilities as an actor, which he's developed over more than 30 years in the entertainment business.
But actors have to prove themselves over and over again. Now the question is: can he play an unassuming yet brilliant math savant? The first trailer for The Accountant focused on the childhood of Affleck's character, drawing direct parallels to his adult life, while suggesting that he's more than just a numbers guy.
A new trailer takes some of the same footage and gives it a good spin by putting it into a slightly different context. New footage also gives additional context to the titular character's actions, as well as introducing an important role for Anna Kendrick.
Anna Kendrick, who was only glimpsed briefly in the first trailer, is shown here initially approaching Affleck in a more relaxed setting. She gets to know Christian Wolff (Affleck) as a small-town accountant, without realizing that he secretly works for a variety of extremely dangerous criminal organizations.
We also see J.K. Simmons, who runs the Crime Enforcement Division for the U.S. Treasury Department. which is investigating Christian Wolff. Quicker looks at Jon Bernthal and Jeffrey Tambor are provided, raising the degree of intrigue even higher. John Lithgow also stars.
Gavin O'Connor directed; he's probably best known for the boxing-themed familly drama Warrior, which featured Nick Nolte in an Academy Award-nominated performance. The Accountant looks like it will showcase good performances by Affleck and others in a surprising thriller. The movie will open in theaters on October 14.

Guaranteed Safety and Practicality for Your Next Construction Project!
The Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional is a software suite that provides a great deal of assistance to those working in the fields that involve construction work or otherwise are somehow related to buildings and the like. The robot structural analysis provided by this software is achieved through BIM integration; this is coupled with certain design tools. Altogether, the Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional is capable of providing two very massive conveniences: firstly, it is capable of assessing the behaviour of any structure and secondly, it can confirm whether all codes are being complied with or not.
This robot structural analysis software is capable of so much more than what's discussed above. It possesses other features that build on the main two described earlier. Below is a list that outlines what features you will be able to find in this suite:
- Broad range of analysis capabilities
- Database of country-specific codes
- Links seamlessly and bi-directionally with Revit
- Integrated workflow with AutoCAD software
- Offers a great deal of control over meshing capabilities
- Availability of multiple languages and measurement units, increasing international appeal
- Simplified solution for working with reinforced concrete and steel, through integrated design
- Analysis results presented in detailed manner
- Flexible API (application programming interface)
The Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional is clearly a strong software suite. We can see all the advantages it can provide to you as the customer mentioned above. This section will go deeper and explain exactly what the features listed above do and how they can help you:
- The analysis capabilities are capable of assessing both linear and non-linear behaviours in any given structure. This includes larger and more complex structures.
- Among the non-linearity's that are assessed include: tension/compression members, supports, cables, and plastic hinges.
- It's also possible to determine how your structure will respond to events like earthquakes or harmonic frequencies.
- Seeing as this suite has bidirectional links with other Autodesk companion products, you can comfortably import and export models and designs across them.
- This software allows you to independently manipulate meshing parameters and automatic mesh generation. Hence it's possible to create mesh that yields more accurate analysis results.
- Design modules meant to accommodate designs involving steel and reinforced concrete, prove to simplify the process by making it easier to select, verify and optimise the construction elements involved.
- After the analysis has been concluded the information can be presented in numerous ways:
- Tabulated
- Diagrams
- Cuts through shells
- Illustrated colour maps
- Points of stress, either in the structure or in a beam or column
- Stresses illustrated in a specific direction for solids and shells
- The use of Microsoft COM technologies makes it possible for the Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional to provide other conveniences. Such as, extracting results from this suite or linking it with other software (MS Word, MS Excel, AutoCAD) or even for making parametric structures in the suite.
The options and utility granted by the Robot Structural Analysis cannot be overstated. A lot of technical professions find their work made much easier due to its usefulness. A proper list of benefits is found below:
- The Robot Structural Analysis software is built with convenience in mind; as such it can provide calculations within minutes. Significantly speeding up the design process.
- The analysis itself is an amazing selling point. Being able to assess linear and non-linear behaviour across different types of structures makes it easier to commit to practical decisions.
- Even the country-based code database helps a great deal with saving time.
- The bidirectional links with other software allow for simplified data collecting.
- The availability of simulation options makes it possible for you to see what methods are more effective than others.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson's meeting with his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, started with a warning to the U.S. - don't strike the Syrian regime again.
Back home, the consensus among Connecticut's delegation in Washington is that President Trump should have informed Congress before sending missiles into Syria.
Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal is asking: What's the matter with Connecticut? Well, for one, we have the 6th highest property taxes in the U.S. with possible increases to the sales tax on the way.
This hour, we get the latest from the legislature including the bottle bill, a bear hunting bill, and a Millstone bailout bill.

Manhatten-based digital content producers Zachary Bennett and Karen Nourse have been living in the suburbs of New York for more than six years without paying rent.
According to legal documents, the pair quit paying their $4,754.02 (NZ$6,766) monthly rent in 2010 and now owe $410,000 (NZ$583,000) in rent and electric charges, their landlord claims.
The couple, which have two children, say they have a right to live in the apartment rent-free as they are the only residents in a building, which is made up of commercial units and businesses, the New York Post reported.
Bennett and Nourse claim they don't have to pay rent as the building does not have a residential certificate of occupancy, according to court papers filed for a lawsuit.
The New York Post reported that before 2010 the pair had been paying rent. This was before the US Loft Law was expanded to protect "people whose apartments are in mostly commercial or industrial buildings."
Lawyer for the pair, Margaret Sandercock, told the New York Post that the building "did not comply with the Loft Law".
"The owner is not entitled to collect rent and my clients are not required to pay rent," Sandercock said.
Loft Law applies to buildings with at least three residential tenants, but the pair are the only residents, Harry Shapiro, the landlord's lawyer told the New York Post.
"They can stay if they pay," Shapiro said. "The unit is legal . . . We really don't want to evict them. We just want them to pay the rent. They're getting all the services but the landlord got zippo."
Sandercock disagrees. She said at the time when the Loft Law was changed, there were other residential tenants in the building.
"For the building to be safe and legal for them to live in, the law requires the landlord to have a residential certificate of occupancy," she said.

how long's it been?
So, its been over a month now and we're closing in on the second month here so I thought it was time for some reflection. The magic of Paris has come, as promised, and settled over me like the North Face jacket I wish I had not forgotten in Connecticut over the summer. It is the middle of October and already consistently low 50 degrees outside here. As a born-n-raised Californian who left the beach and its surf for a once in a lifetime MA program in Paris, I am completely unprepared for Parisian life. Mentally, materially, physically, and linguistically.
Lets talk about this, my reflections on being an newbie-expat living in the city of lights.
material disconnects
Materially, I was so vastly unprepared for winter its appalling. I brought with me a jean jacket, a blazer, and one heavy turtleneck this is all as far as the overcoats go. This isn't to say that I just left all the heavy coats at home. No, its just that I never had need for a heavy coat and so I never purchased one.
mental unpreparedness...
Mentally having to convert the time from Paris to the time in Los Angeles every time I want to text my friends or family is strainous.
physically fit ???
Physically living in a 7 floor walk up on the 6éme étage sounds romantic but in reality I dispise those stairs I climb twice (sometimes four times) a day.
mais bien sûr (?), je peux parler français... un peu...
Linguistically my grasp on the french language is like a 7 year olds. Quite literally I know this for certain because one of the children I babysit here is 7 years old and she is learning how to use, write, and conjugate the futur, passe compose, and présent tenses. These are concepts I understand but still struggle with distinguishing them orally in conversation.

Why English is Important
English is the most important subject in the curriculum. The courses followed by students are designed to encourage them to interpret explicit and implicit meaning, synthesise evidence and comment on the use of structure and language used by writers. Personal response is actively encouraged as is the establishing of links between texts regardless of whether they were written over several centuries.
Ultimately, students will leave Year 11 with two GCSE's in Language and Literature, having focussed on reading, writing and spoken language.
English is crucial in any career and the first subject that employers will look for on an application form to confirm the grade that a student has achieved.
Crucially, a student who has not achieved the minimum of a grade 5 at GCSE (equivalent to the old 'C' grade), will be required to continue to study this subject up to the age of 18 or until the grade 5 is attained.
Pedagogical Approach to English
Students will have a 'blended learning' model delivered to them whereby work in class will require them to work individually, in pairs and in groups to share their personal responses to the texts that we study.
A large quantity of reading will be undertaken and extended writing pieces completed under increasing time limits to nurture the pace and accuracy with which work is produced and enable students to experience the demands of their final exams in Year 11.
Home Learning will provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate what they have applied in lessons.
At Key Stage 4 (Years 9-11) students have 5 hours a week of English and at Key Stage 3 (Years 7-8) students have 4 hours of English a week.
Key Stage 3
In Years 7 and 8, the delivery of the English curriculum is taught through a different genre per term. For example, Year 7 will spend the Autumn term focusing on the 'Love and Relationships' genre and Year 8 will study the gothic genre. Through these genres they will develop both their reading and writing skills. They will explore a variety of fictions texts, Shakespeare and poetry and will be introduced to the skills needed for GCSE study.
Key Stage 4
Students will study for two GCSE's; one in English Language and one in English Literature and will be required to complete four exam papers at the end of KS4. (Two in English Language and two in English Literature).
These exams are now graded 1-9 and are assessed by examinations only. In addition, students will complete a Spoken Language Assessment for their English Language GCSE which is separately endorsed by the exam board.
Students continue to develop the skills they have been introduced to at KS3 and focus on developing their reading and writing. In English Language Paper 1, students will need to be able to identify implicit and explicit information, analyse language and structure and evaluate writers' methods. They must also be able to write creatively either writing to describe or narrate.
Students need to be able to read a wide range of texts from different time periods. In Language Paper 2, students need to identify implicit and explicit information, be able to summarise and synthesis information, analyse language and compare writers' perspectives and viewpoints. They must also be able to write to express a viewpoint.
During KS4 students will begin to study the literature texts for GCSE and will continue to revisit them during these three years.
The following texts are studied for GCSE English Literature:
Shakespeare: Romeo and Juliet
19th Novel: A Christmas Carol
Modern Text: An Inspector Calls
In addition to these texts, students study the Poetry and Conflict Anthology which is made up of 15 poems.
For each of these texts, students must read the whole text and understand the plot, characters, themes and the historical context in which the text was originally written.

Please note that the sample syllabi are meant to provide an idea of the level of the course and whether or not the content area interests you. CTY instructors are given guidelines within which they each develop their own syllabi. Choice and sequencing of topics within the content area, as well as specific activities, labs, and assignments, will vary.
Can five 20' by 18' carpets lying flat with no overlap fit in a 40' by 50' room? How can you precisely measure two liters of water using only a four-liter pitcher and a three-liter pitcher? How many different ways can you add up four even, positive numbers to get a sum of 16?
Problem solving in mathematics is far more complex than translating a word problem into numbers and symbols and applying an established method. It involves finding a path to a solution when there is no clear place to begin. In this course, students learn general strategies for solving problems that involve a wide range of mathematical concepts. Challenging problems lead students to use varied approaches such as drawing diagrams, making lists, eliminating unreasonable possibilities, identifying patterns, guessing and checking, and manipulating variables.
Working individually or in small groups, students learn to ask precise and thought-provoking questions, to match appropriate strategies to particular problems, and to effectively communicate their thought processes along the way. Demonstrations, activities, games, and explorations are incorporated to nurture students as critical thinkers and creative problem solvers, strengthening their mathematical-reasoning abilities and preparing them for future study in discrete math, probability, and other growing fields of mathematics.

Spatial understanding is necessary for interpreting, understanding, and appreciating our inherently geometric world. Many tasks a person performs—whether designing a treehouse, solving a jigsaw puzzle, or laying out a garden—require good spatial reasoning abilities.
Through interactive investigation and discussion, students discover mathematical relationships such as congruence, symmetry, and reflection. They learn geometric formulas to calculate area, surface area, perimeter, circumference, and volume and are asked to explain their findings using geometric terminology. Students explore the geometric properties of regular polygons and create their own polyhedra using paper-folding techniques. Tessellations, similarity, measurement, polygons, polyhedra, and curved shapes are investigated through two- and three-dimensional drawings and physical models. Students also construct classic geometric figures using a straight edge and a compass as they are introduced to the essential elements of geometry. Through explorations and demonstrations, students leave this course with a greater spatial sense as well as a solid understanding of foundational geometry concepts.

What does a subatomic particle measured in femtometers have in common with a galaxy measured in light years? Both are a part of the uniquely human effort to quantify the world around us. In this course, students explore numbers, from the very small to the unimaginably large, and learn how numeric representations help to explain natural phenomena such as time, distance, and temperature.
Moving beyond traditional arithmetic, this course centers on hands-on activities that develop understanding of the scope and scale of numbers. Students consider such questions as: if your dog were the size of a dinosaur, how much dog food would you need? They develop approximation and computational strategies to determine whether answers to problems are reasonable. In examining the diversity of measurement systems, students learn the origins of some familiar and unfamiliar methods of measurement, then invent their own units of measurement. Additionally, students use dimensional analysis to investigate conversions between different scales or systems of measurement. They apply concepts of ratio and proportion by constructing and analyzing scale models of our solar system, the human body, and other objects in our natural world.
Note: For many aspects of this course, students are asked to work without a calculator. Calculators are used only when extensive computations are needed.

From ancient to modern times, mathematics has been instrumental in the development of science, engineering, and philosophy. In this math course, students consider the questions and problems that have fascinated humans across cultures since the beginning of recorded history as they gain appreciation for a wide variety of mathematics.
Students explore a mix of concepts ranging from the work of early mathematicians to recent breakthroughs in mathematics. Additionally, they consider this newfound conceptual knowledge in its historical context. Through hands-on explorations, they learn about great mathematical discoveries throughout time, such as Pascal's Triangle, Zeno's paradoxes, the Sieve of Eratosthenes, the Newton vs. Leibniz controversy, and the roots of modern mathematics.
By examining the historical development of major mathematical ideas, students leave the course with a greater awareness of a wide range of topics within mathematics, including number theory, algebra, and geometry. They acquire a solid background in mathematical concepts that they will encounter in more advanced coursework.

Reasoning, logic, and critical thinking skills are the building blocks of intellectual inquiry. This course focuses on developing these skills through problem-solving and exposure to a wide range of topics in mathematics. Students learn to distinguish between inductive and deductive reasoning and examine the roles played by each in mathematics.
The students' introduction to inductive reasoning begins with a search for patterns and creating recursive and explicit formulas to describe those patterns. Students master material by considering algebraic and geometric concepts, patterns, and real-world questions that can be answered using inductive reasoning.
As they move on to the concept of deductive reasoning, students learn to use a system of logic to draw conclusions from statements that are accepted as true. Students learn about this style of reasoning with a variety of topics such as symbolic logic, truth tables, and syllogisms. Emphasis is placed on the importance of proving conclusions using valid arguments.

You meet a new friend at CTY who teaches you a dice game. The rules are simple: if you roll a 4, you win and the game ends. If your friend rolls a 5, they win and the game ends. You take turns rolling until one person wins. If you roll first, what is the probability that you will win the game? There are several ways to solve this problem, and the answer is not obvious.
In this course, students develop a greater understanding of probability and statistics, two areas of mathematics that easily transfer from the classroom to the real world. Students conduct experiments and generate data which they display in graphs, charts, and tables in order to compare the effects of particular variables. For example, students might analyze data to examine how various design characteristics of a paper airplane, such as weight or length, affect the distance it will travel. In addition, students consider other data sources, including newspapers and journals, and identify examples of incorrectly gathered or misrepresented data that have been used to mislead consumers or influence voters.
Students also explore probability, the study of chance, to learn how to use numerical data to predict future events. Students examine permutations and combinations; develop strategies for calculating the number of possible outcomes for various events; calculate probabilities of independent, dependent, and compound events; and learn to distinguish between theoretical and experimental probability.

In the field of robotics, computer science and engineering interface to create autonomous, interdependent systems that can perform a variety of tasks, from manufacturing microchips to exploring Mars.
In this course, students develop familiarity with computer science concepts. For example, they explore topics such as algorithms, sequential control flow, and Boolean operators. Students also survey basic principles of physics and mechanical engineering, such as simple machines and locomotion, and basic principles of electrical engineering, such as circuits and sensor feedback. Using LEGO® robotics equipment, they work together to construct, program, and test their robots in a modern programming environment.
With each project, students design, build, and program robots to complete a complex task and reinforce a new concept. These projects demonstrate the basic computer science and engineering principles that underlie everything from the space shuttle to the average home toaster. Students gain a foundation in computer programming and engineering that will become increasingly important in the highly technical 21st century.
Note: CTY is committed to eliminating the gender gap in technology and engineering fields. An all-girls section of this class will be held both sessions at the Collegeville site, at the San Rafael site's first session, and at the Los Angeles residential site's second session. Girls may request this or a co-ed section of the class.

Im 48 yrs old..have been a CNA since 1986. Ive worked in Alzhiemers and dementia unit for 12 yrs..and have worked skilled care the rest of my career. I also have my sanitation license because I also cooked in one of the facilities I worked at. I take care of ppl with same respect I would want my parents taken care of. I am also a grandma to 8 beautiful grandkids.
I love being a caregiver because it gives me a chance to help people who need it and build a bond. I am very outgoing, kind hearted and a great listener when needed! I don't mind watching black and white tv shows and laughing together if that's what it takes! I am a proud mother of a little girl who didn't have it easy coming into this world but is doing her best everyday and she is my pride and joy!
My Name is Pearlie, I have always had the caretaker trait since I was around 10 years old. I was the grandkid that wanted to stay in the house and help my grandmother take care of my granddad and the person that want a babysitting job in the summer to help out the family. It make me feel good to do for others when the can't or have no one to help them complete their daily living duties. I'm a medical assistant and Certified Nursing Assistant and would like to get back into the CNA side to have more hands on taking care of people again that is my passion.
I became a caregiver because I enjoy helping people. What I like about being a caregiver isthat you never know how a person is feeling and when you come through the door their whole day just brightens up. A personal achievement I am proud of is having my same client for a year & a half now & he doesn't want anyone else but me, that's how I know im doing my job right. I'm a very caring & understanding person. I've been working with elderly people for 11yrs now & I wouldn't trade it for anything.
I became a caregiver because I love helping people. I like being able to help the elderly live with some independence in their life. One of my achievements was to receive an A in my CNA class. I am a responsible person. I would like to add that I have already had a fingerprinted background check. I am on the Illinois health registry. I have my current CPR as well.
Hello there! My name is Michelle and I have been caring for someone since I was in the 10th grade. (Years ago) I moved in with my grandmother, she had been a widow for about 3 years. She was suffering from depression, breathing issues and I know many more health issues that later claimed her life. Her living conditions weren't the best and she totally refused to go to the doctor. I arranged for her to move into an apartment which she enjoyed for about 2 years. I never thought that I would be working in this field. I originally went to school for administration careers. But to see their faces light up when you please them is why I continue to work in this field. Plus I have the satisfaction of knowing that care was administered properly. I have worked with the elderly, as well as, individuals with special needs. Very willing and ready to meet your families needs.
I became a caregiver at 14 for my grandmother and grandfather, and I fell in love with the work I was doing. After that, I realized that what I wanted to do for the rest of my life was to take care of and help those in need. I am CPR certified by the American Heart Association in infant, child, and adult BLS. I also have experience in the following things: Home Health (5+yrs) All stages of AD (5yrs) Schizophrenia (2+yrs) Mental Disabilities, Behavioral Problems and the alike (5yrs) I believe I would be a great addition to the team.
I became a caregiver because it fufills my heart, mind , and soul. I get great satisfaction knowing that I can help keep a person safely and comfortably in their home. Meeting new people and their families has given me a lot of knowledge to use for the next job I am fortunate to receive. My years of experience have taught me to have patience and compassion for each person because everybody is different in their own way. I have raised an incredible teenager who is thriving in life. One of the things I am most proud of is that I took care of my mother who was dying of lung cancer. I was the best advocate for her that I could be. I kept her safe and comfortable to live out the last days of her life. I have done a little of everything in the medical field. I have worked in the ER, assisted living, home health and hospice and live in private duty. When I am not working I enjoy reading, camping, and spending time with my family.
I feel like what makes me a great caregiver is I put my clients or residents first. I care for them like I care for my own children. I chose to go into caregiving because at the end of the day I know I made a difference in their day making life a bit easier for them and giving them a better outlook on life knowing somebody is there for them. It's very hard for me to leave my residents because they have became part of my family, my family knows them all and even my children love my residents and my residents and coworkers love my family as well. I feel like I mainly chose this path because I wanted to be able to help others as much as others have helped and blessed me. If I can do it for my own family why not share my care with others who need it as well. It warms my soul to see my family and the people I support smile and feel loved because they know I truly care.
I am an 18 year old Female who is in the final weeks of the CNA program. After the CNA program I plan to attend Parkland College for an associates degree in Nursing from there I plan to attend EIU to progressively work on my PhD in nursing. I love helping people and care giving has been a dream of mine since i was 10 years old. I have worked many places where people skills are necessary such as the carnival, long john silvers, and IGA grocery store. I have also work as a housekeeper and know how important overall cleanliness is important to infection prevention. i also am a great cook and can make just about anything.

College Counseling
Saint Andrew's College Counseling program is unlike many programs across the country. The difference is a personal one. With a student to counselor ratio on average 9:1, the program offers a personal experience. By being able to know the student very well, we are able to suggest the best fit for students to writing strong letters of recommendation. These personal touches are the difference. Please explore the links and resources offered below and on this page to help navigate the world of undergraduate admissions.
In addition to the tradition college counseling program, the focus on preparing seniors for life beyond high school is an integral component to the program. There is much more

If you reside in any country within the European Economic Area (EEA) or the European Union (EU), or Switzerland, then you should apply for a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) when travelling to any other European country. All EU and EEA residents qualify for free or reduced healthcare at state medical facilities, so long as they hold a valid EHIC. However, the EHIC card does not replace travel insurance, and cannot cover all potential healthcare costs. Below we explore who needs an EHIC when they travel, and what this card can offer for the holder.
What is the EHIC?
European nations that are joined by EU membership, or part of the EEA, share a common treaty when it comes to the healthcare of citizens. As a result of this agreement, any resident of a qualifying EEA nation can access necessary healthcare services when they visit another European country. Healthcare services will be provided under the same terms as they would be for residents of that nation. This might mean receiving free healthcare (such as in the UK), getting reduced rates for treatment, or being reimbursed for the full bill once the patient returns home.
All of this is made possible by the EHIC. This card is proof of residence in a qualifying country – and therefore is proof of eligibility for healthcare services. Showing a valid EHIC at the hospital or medical centre allows the patient to receive prompt healthcare, often without worrying about paying any bills. The EHIC replaces the old E111 certificate, which was discontinued in 2005.
The EHIC is only applicable at state healthcare facilities. Any private treatment will incur the same cost that a resident patient would pay. In some regions, only private healthcare is available. Always check when arriving at hospital, otherwise you could incur large bills for treatment that the EHIC cannot cover. However, a good travel insurance policy should help you if you do build up additional costs through private treatment.
Who needs an EHIC?
Every traveller visiting one EEA country from another should have a valid EHIC. This includes adults and children. If you are the parent or guardian of travellers under 16, it is your responsibility to ensure they have a valid card. You can apply for cards for the whole family at once. Teachers visiting Europe with boarding school children, or caregivers for dependent adults, can also apply for the EHIC on behalf of any traveller in their group.
Eligibility for the EHIC depends on residential status, not on natural citizenship. Therefore, a person who holds a non-European passport, but is a resident in an EEA country, can apply for a card. The EHIC is based on residency and not on taxpayer status. Therefore, any resident of the UK is eligible for a card, not just those who have made sufficient National Insurance contributions. However, a valid NI number is required to apply.
The difference between travel insurance and the EHIC
Even if you have taken out a private travel insurance policy, you will still need to apply for the EHIC. In many cases, insurers will lower your premiums, and even waive the excess for treatment, if you have a valid card. This is because treatment costs much less, and reimbursements are therefore far lower, when you make use of your right to EHIC healthcare provision. Some insurers no longer offer policies for European travel unless an EHIC is presented.
However, you should never skip travel insurance and rely solely on the EHIC. For comprehensive travel cover, both are required. The EHIC is simply your proof of eligibility for hospital treatment or routine care at a state facility. It cannot cover you for private treatments, for ambulance travel costs, for prescriptions, or for repatriation in the event that this is necessary.
Travel insurance also covers a variety of other potential expenses, such as cancelled or delayed flights, lost or stolen belongings, and any liability for accidents or damage. An insurance policy is a comprehensive way to protect yourself when you travel. The EHIC, on the other hand, covers healthcare services only. It cannot cover you for lost medication, for injury liability, or for missed travel caused by illness.
Is my EHIC still valid?
The EHIC is valid for a period of five years from the date of application. It must be renewed within six months of expiry. On receipt of a new EHIC, the date resets – giving you five years of use before the next renewal. Before you travel, it is essential that you check the dates on all EHIC cards in your travelling party. In the event that a renewal is necessary, you can apply online or over the telephone. It should take just seven days for the new card to be delivered, but allow a little longer to make sure the card is ready to travel with you.
If you travel without a valid EHIC, but you are eligible to hold one, it is possible to call and request a Provisional Replacement Certificate (PRC). The PRC can replace a lost or stolen card, until a new card can be sent out to the holder's address. This can also be applied for if an EHIC has expired, and there is not sufficient time to request and receive a replacement. However, there can be costs incurred when arranging express delivery of a replacement certificate. The EHIC, on the other hand, is completely free.
UK citizens: the EHIC after Brexit
The United Kingdom is leaving the European Union in 2019, and therefore EHIC eligibility will cease. Those travelling from and to the UK will no longer be eligible for free or reduced cost healthcare at state medical facilities, unless the final deal agreed includes some provision for EHIC access. At the time of writing, all EHIC cards issued to UK residents are due to expire on October 31, 2019. Until this date, new EHIC applications can be made and cards are still required when travelling in Europe.

Also includes the HDMI dock! Most of the past bundles only included the standard audio dock.
Drat. I could really use the HDMI dock. But I already bought one bundle (with standard dock) back when they were $19.99. *sigh*
What to do??? The last time I ordered the bundle it was never shipped (waited over a month) and I finally got them to cancel the order and issue a refund.
Should I try again? I probably will - sigh.
Update - I did order it again. I'm a glutton for punishment.

It won't let me order. It says my payment info is wrong and it isn't. I even tried two different cards. I don't know what is up with it. :-(

Well, you're in luck! Because the dock that they are selling is the standard dock, though they do call it the HDMI dock. I've bought four of the packages (in two different times) (I'm planning ahead!) and both times the docks were the standard even through the ad said "HDMI."
I guess we'll see. The ad didn't just say multi-dock, but showed a picture of one. They listed a standard dock seperately...
Nobody is having problems ordering this? It still won't let me order. It pops up that my billing info is incorrect. It isn't though. I don't see others complaining of this. I wonder if maybe the tablet I'm using right now is the issue? Hmm.

Billing info has to match the payment methods, name/address.

My Story: A Hard Life to Live in Daily Pain
I have lived with chronic pain for over 12 years.
I worked in healthcare and had a high pressure job that required me to spend hours on a computer analyzing data, building charts, putting together power point presentations, sending off data to all the reporting agencies, and writing reports. Everything had a strict deadline and I was the only one running the ship.
When I had my cervical fusion, I was told to be off the computer for a minimum of 8 weeks. I ended up going back to work too soon and my first set of x-rays showed there was not a good fusion, but I had hope it would soon fuse completely. I continued to work until my T1 and T2 vertebrae ruptured.
The fusion was just making the rest of my spine weaker and weaker, and my job was getting bigger and more demanding and I could feel something changing in my spine. At first, I thought I was having a heart attack. It felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest.
I had never been so scared, so I called work and the HR director came to pick me up at home and bring me to the emergency room, where I was admitted for the first of two admissions that month to help with pain control. They had me on IV dilaudid and fentanyl patches. It did not take all the pain away.
Of course, the surgeon who did my fusion wanted to re-do it. I said no.
Then, about a year later, I had severe foot drop where I was dragging around the hospital. One of the back surgeons stopped me and said he could fix it. I was so desperate I let him cut on my lumbar 4-5. It did help my foot drop, but then I had extreme lower back pain and back spasms.
So they sent me to a pain doctor who worked very hard over the next 6 years to find a drug that would not make me drowsy so I could continue to work. Between getting epidurals, taking my pain meds, and physical therapy I could still manage to get my work done, I would spend 8-10 hours at the hospital and then I was set up to work from home so I often would rest and then work again for a few hours.
Then, of all things, I got a silly Morton's neuroma on my big toe and boy it was so painful that I knew I had to remove it. So at 52, I had that simple surgery that ended my life as I knew it.
Something happened — no one knows what or they won't tell me — but I started getting this terrible pain in my surgery leg. It felt like it was in a vice being squeezed tighter and tighter until I would be sweating and screaming in pain. It was so awful I would bang my head on the wall.
Then the pain jumped to my other leg, so both my legs were doing the same thing. I walked like Frankenstein — very stiff legs and very slow, or I would fall.
It reminded me of when my 5-year old granddaughter had polyneuropathy Guillain-Barre syndrome.
So I went and had an electromyogram (EMG) test that was torture for the hour that I lay on a table, with a doctor putting these electrical impulses in different places. I just could feel the tears running down my face onto the steel table and dripping on the floor. I kept saying this really hurts, but he said nothing to me. Not one word of kindness.
He was not in my insurance plan, but my doctor said he was the best, so on top of being tortured I spent over a $1,000 out of my own pocket. I was not working and my Cobra was already $850 a month.
The year before I received the largest raise I had ever received and for once I felt the hard work and dedication paid off. My kids were raised and maybe I could do some things for myself. But that was not going to happen.
I was sent to UCSF Medical Center and went through a ton of more tests. I was told I had the spine of an 80-year old. I had degenerative disc disease, peripheral neuropathy, small fiber neuropathy, arthritis of the spine, a failed three level cervical fusion, two herniated thoracic discs and bone spurs.
I was a mess!
My original surgeon promised me that I would be back snow skiing that winter. He was a bit off, because that winter instead being in a ski chair lift I was in a wheel chair. It was so hard when my doctor ordered it and it was delivered to my house. I could not even look at it for a few days, I was in denial.
I still can't walk more than 10 minutes and can't stand on my feet. They burn and hurt and turn purple.
I don't smoke, drink alcohol, or eat meat. I eat only organic food and I am not overweight. I have always been fit and loved to water and snow ski, and skate with my grand kids. Now I can't even work.
Then because I had some money saved and a long term disability plan, Social Security put me on the bottom of the disability list. I needed insurance, but no one would give it to me.
I spent almost $50,000 in medical bills and prescriptions until I got approved. They had three or four doctors there and they all said, "Nancy, we are surprised that you managed to work as long as you did with everything that's wrong with you."
Well, when you have NO ONE to help you, you do whatever you can.
I still get many rude comments when I park in handicap or bring my service dog (who is a Chihuahua), because I don't look to society like a disabled person should. I want to say spend a day with me, just one day, and then look in my eyes and tell me that.
After all these years, they finally found a medicine that helps me live with my pain. It is no longer a 10 and creeps up to an 8 at times on the pain scale, but I take the medicine and it brings it down.
But now the DEA doesn't want pain patients to receive the medicines we need. I will never go back to those terrible nights of sweat, tears and screaming to God to let me die.
If not for our families and friends (I really don't have any, except the support groups online), many of us would make a decision to end our lives while we can still make choices.
So please don't judge me, you have no idea what I have gone through. I have worked my whole life and I loved my job, so I am not trying to live off the system. I am just trying to survive in a world that is cruel to people that are different.
I don't fit anywhere anymore. My only true friends are my little dogs and my grand kids — who think I am pretty perfect just the way I am.
So bless you all, it is a hard life to live in daily pain. Yet I think of so many who have suffered so much more than I have. I pray that they are living in heaven in the finest places, where there are beautiful things that surround them, and they never have to feel pain. I hope those memories are gone.

I have had chronic pain for the past five years. My Dr said its never going to change. H e gave me dilaudid 8mg. They worked ok for the firsr yr, but now its like taking an asprin. When I cant take the pain and go to the ER as my Dr told me to do, on my chart I was listed as a drug seeker. I told my Dr about that and he overwrote that in my records. Every now and then, I get a smart ass resident who still refuses to help. I hand him my cell phone and dial my Drs cell phone, home phone and hosp pager listed. I told him he would get my Dr quickly. He said the drs name sounded familiar, but he hadn't been there lond so it could have been one of his teachers or something. I knew the story. My dr is chief of residents at the hosp! That was one surprised resident. His face was worth the pain!
"I will never go back to those terrible nights of sweat, tears and screaming to God to let me die."
That line alone made me feel what you feel. I have felt this in my own life. I applaud your willingness to try to continue to work and be a "normal" person. I feel the world really doesn't have a place for patients like you or I. Sad because we can offer so much with the right treatment and medications in our lives.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. 🙂 I am still working full time but my future is just exactly where your story leads. I am frightened. I have considered a pain management clinic appointment for the first time in the 15 years I have suffered with my condition. I am afraid to be judged and ridiculed. But I am too scared to stay in the type of pain that I have because we all, if truth be known, have asked the Lord to end the pain one way or another.
My heart goes out to you as you have suffered so much. I have been in chronic pain for nearly 20 years and it is the most debilitating thing in the world. I have had back surgery and have arthritis, scoliosis and osteoporosis in my spine. The trouble is if people cannot see it they think it doesn't exist. Keep your pecker up girl and keep on trucking.
Please don't add additional pain to your suffering with any MRI's with contrast. No matter how your kidneys are functioning right ow, there are many people being diagnosed with Systemic Fibrosis, with docs ignoring that the gadolinium is the culprit. Ive been told, "Well yours is only 1:40 ana " so it's just the early stages of fibrosis-yet its also in my bowel, eprhaps caused by another drug called Creon given to kids with CF-to me for pancreatitis induced from Sjogren's. I also have Lyme (the reason for all the MRI's 10 in 13 years!) I am still shopping around for a doc to remove retained barium from bowel that was discovered at a colorectal surgery and ignored, 4 docs later no one will remove it, as they know its iatrogenic )dr caused!)
I also have DDD and a hemangioma at T-11 after being bedridden 4+ years I had to rebuild my body-got it just to where I was able to exercise then BAM! the fibrosis kicked in. Lungs are starting to get involved. Traveling to docs alone ate through my savings, I do get SS disability and have great insurance, so there are no worries yet if I need medications, I have the insurance I really feel for those who don't! what we really need is a medical system that recognizes certain conditions instead of us having to do all the work!
I have a few things in common with her, with the exception that I have AIDS, so things are alot different yet so close.I was forced into Hospice care because no one will help me, including those HIV clinics that receive part C of the Ryan white Foundation funds.In Ky they just do not seem to care and it's more work on the doctor if they have to prescribe Opiods to a patient .
Thank you for sharing your story. I am going on about 8 years of chronic pain and when I read your story I burst into tears. Yes I have been in so much pain I wanted God to take me to heaven. I still do but I have little ones to raise. I can relate to your experience with the electrodes and the dr being so cold. I woke up from a cervical fusion and not even dilaud would work. My nurse was so mean and made a student nurse who had no experience give me a catheter. The nurse thought I was a whiner. Please!! I think it is hard to understand unrelenting pain – the daily stuff – and when it gets to excruciating, unless you have lived it. Then you know and can look at a fellow sufferer and just know about the loneliness, the loss, the battles with Drs, insurance and on and on. You just know.

Our Fourth of July was GREAT! Cousins, swimming, good food and fireworks filled the afternoon and evening. But I didn't take any pictures. Mom fail right there, but, sadly, I'm getting used to those. :-)
So, here's some cuteness from the day before when the kids were dressed in their red, white, and blue for church.
Right as we were heading outside to take pictures the Birons showed up to join us. We weren't sure if they were coming to our ward or Grandma and Grandpas, so it was a great surprise. Noah and Luke were over the top excited to have cousins at church!

But he has difficulty thinking straight and the strength has gone from his body. He hasn't yet worked out that all this is revenge for his underhand behaviour. If he knew he would realise that there is far worse to come!

The Philadelphia 76ers traded Markelle Fultz to the Orlando Magic for Jonathan Simmons, a 2019 second-round pick and a 2020 top-20 protected first-rounder, multiple media outlets reported Thursday.
Wow, I'm not going to lie, that's a pretty solid haul.
Fultz, the former first-round pick from Washington, needs a fresh start on a team that will make him the starting point guard.
As we highlighted here, J. Simmons is one of the more inspirational stories in the National Basketball Association, an undrafted free agent out of Houston who had to pay $150 to even get a try out for the Spurs' G-League affiliate in Austin.
Simmons, 29, is a 6-6 bench player, who is averaging just 6.9 points in 20.6 minutes per game for Orlando this season.
President Trump delivers State of the Union address
According to White House officials, the president will take the opportunity to call for bipartisanship among the government. Despite the shutdown, the US economy added a robust 304,000 jobs in January, marking 100 straight months of job growth.
If not, Fultz will remain a part of the team for the foreseeable future...
Whether a trade happens or not remains to be seen, but Wojnarowski does believe that there's at least a "possibility" that Fultz has played his last game for the Sixers.
And best of all, he's on a great contract. However, Fultz hasn't played since November 19. It seems that every other day, there's a new report about Fultz and whether or not the Sixers will deal him. First, they added Jimmy Butler from the Minnesota Timberwolves, and just a few days ago they picked up Tobias Harris from the Clippers.
Simmons will provide some solid wing depth for a team that desperately needs it, and they've managed to recoup a few of the picks that they've sent out already this season. After a less than lackluster tenure, the Markelle Fultz tenure is finally over.
