Tips For Successful College Packing
As the last summer of your life before college comes to a close, and with move-in day just around the corner, you may be wondering how you will pack your worldly possessions and move them from home to campus.
Bring Only What You Need, Use, Love, and Will Fit
Determine Your Storage Space
When you're ready to start packing, keep one very important factor in mind: you're working with a very small space at college. Plan on having a small bureau, a narrow closet, and some desk drawers to use. This means you'll need to be selective and pack strategically.
Determine What to Bring
As you start your packing process, use The F.U.N.E.L. System to determine what you really need to bring with you.
The F.U.N.E.L. System
Ask yourself these five questions about each item.
1. Will it Fit?
2. Will I Use it?
3. Will I Need it?
4. Does it Express who I am now or who I want to become?
5. Do I Love it?
If you can't answer "yes" to the first question and to at least one of the other questions, leave the item at home.
Then, separate what you know you will need from what you think you might need. Place the items you're unsure of in a box in your home bedroom and ask your parents to send them along if you find that you need them later.
Observe the 100% Clothing Rule: only bring the clothing you're 100% sure you'll wear. Make sure your clothing is appropriate for the climate you're living in, your planned activities, and your college's vibe. If you're not sure about an item, leave it in a convenient place at home, and ask your parents to ship it if you need it.
Another reason to bring a small wardrobe to college is that once you get there, meet new people and have new experiences, you and your clothing style could change: "In high school I wore preppy clothes," said a Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences freshman. "Now I have a Bohemian style."
Pack the Important Stuff!
A transition or security object
When you're packing for school, don't be afraid to bring one or two transition objects that connect you to home, family, and childhood. Your treasures from home will accept, comfort, and love you when you feel uncertain or homesick. This favorite object will be waiting for you when you return to your room after a hard day, and will make you feel safe as you make this enormous transition. So should you bring your "blankie" or worn-out teddy with you to college? Absolutely!
If you worry your roommates and friends will make fun of you for bringing such an item to school, remember that they're all making the same adjustment, too. Even if you think you'll adjust easily to being at college, bring one object to comfort you. If not a soft object to take to bed, then a poster or object to hang on a wall.
Supplies for a Healthy Lifestyle
Purchasing and packing items for school gives you a chance to create a better environment. By choosing health-conscious items (think healthy cleaners, school supplies, and bedding), you're more likely to live a healthy lifestyle at school.
Also, because you'll probably be living in a smaller space, you're going to be more affected by the items you bring because they will be closer to you. The following six categories focus on items you can bring to support your well-being.
Healthy Household Cleaners
Instead of using chemical disinfectants and artificial air fresheners, clean and freshen your room with plant-based household cleaners, which can be found in many retail stores, or with homemade cleaners.
Safe Laundry Products
Plant-based non-toxic laundry detergents are gentler on your skin than commercial detergents and fabric softeners, because they leave no harmful chemical residues on your clothing. Unlike commercial detergents, biodegradable laundry products won't pollute water systems or end up in the food you eat! For consumer information on safe household cleaning products, visit http://www.newdream.org.
Safe Personal Care Products
Personal care items are some of the most important items you will bring to school, so select them carefully. Makeup and skin care products aren't subject to safety regulations, which means they can contain potentially dangerous ingredients. Read your labels and choose only products that will help you maintain your healthy lifestyle.
Non-toxic School Supplies
Many office and school supplies contain solvents or poisonous vapors that, when inhaled, can cause headaches, dizziness and lack of focus. Choose water-based, non-scented markers, and water-based glues (such as white glues and glue sticks). When possible, buy paper, notebooks and binders made from recycled materials.
A Shoe Rack
When you wear shoes in your room, dirt, dust, and grime fall off the soles and get tracked around. As you move about the room, these gritty particulates bounce into the air, and you inhale them! When you enter your room, remove your shoes and place them on a shoe rack at the door. Wear slippers or socks, or simply go barefoot in your room-and ask your friends to do the same.
Healthy Furnishings and Storage
Choosing the right soft furnishings can enhance the atmosphere and feel of your room. Sheets, blankets, comforters and duvet covers made from natural fibers like 100% organic cotton or bamboo will feel gentle on your skin. Natural fibers also let your skin breathe better, no matter the season. 100% wool blankets help you stay warm without overheating and are an effective flame retardant.
For the cleanest air possible, don't get a carpet. However, if you do decided to put a carpet in your room, choose one made with natural fibers such as 100% wool, bamboo or jute. Chose a low pile rug, since plush and shag rugs hold more dust and contaminants, and when you walk on it these particulates are released into the air.
Choose containers made of fabric, cardboard, or other natural materials to store excess clothing and belongings. Plastic containers release toxins that affect respiration.
Pack with Proficiency
The things you take to school influence your life. Now that you have some packing know-how, it's time to get started.
To your success,
Mary Roberts

Firstly, this is NOT a duplicate question. There have been similar questions asked, but no one has adequately explained this particular aspect of electric generators. Yes, they act as an electron "pump", moving local electrons through their coils via magnetism. The issue here is supply. Being that ground is likely the return conduit, and being that air is supposedly an insulator, and being that a complete circuit is necessary for electron flow, how are electrons moving INTO the windings of a generator?
I would assume that air is not a perfect insulator, and that there is some ambient atmospheric electron flow, and that the electrons being pushed through the windings of a generator are pulled from the local atmosphere; but I haven't found this written down anywhere or alluded to.
If this is the case, then electric generators shouldn't work for very long without an atmosphere. If this is not the case, then, if not the from the local atmosphere, then from where are local free electrons being pulled?
A generator does not create electrons, and copper windings can only initially contain some finite amount of them. Electrons are pulled from and move through the atoms of various elements (some better than others, obviously), so how could electrons flow in a (perfect, uncontaminated, unmodified) vacuum with no medium (atoms) to flow through?

As each day passes, I can see Tucker getting stronger. He is pulling himself up on the bed side rails, getting up onto all 4's in the bed and drinking from his sippy cup. He is talking more and more and using his little index finger to point at what he wants. When the nurses ask him questions, he either says "Yea" or shakes his head no. What a little trooper. Tucker really is a super man!!

I sometimes have the issue that constraint symbols and their numbers, especially two-digit numbers, can obscure the points they are attached to. The solution currently is to find the constraint in the constraint list and hide it.
Maybe it would be a good idea to refine rendering the constraint symbols? A bit more of a distance could be nice.
Or the constraints could move a little out of the way when the cursor comes close to the point.

Re: Sketcher constraints sometimes prevent selecting points
Faster than hiding the constraint is to zoom in select and zoom out. Especially the mode "Zoom at cursor" helps.
Re: Sketcher constraints sometimes prevent selecting points
I normally only soom with the mousewheel, and the geometry positions do scale, but the Constraint symbols and numbers don't. So I can zoom in all I want, the problem persists. I may have to provide a screenshot next time I run into this.

Creating a key Evaluation Essay: A Thorough Advice
That it was undoubtedly identified that any significant assessment essay is specified with the purpose of determining students' opportunity to dissect and investigation a piece of posted effort. Depending on the traditional restrictions, MLA doesn't need you to have got a headline internet page. Just before directly to the authoring a major assessment essay on its own, you must know an entire perception of this old fashioned paper variety for starters.
Good luck! This is very closely connected to the past model. Fortunately that guide overview is designed employing a generalized format.
M. Here is the endure component, but a poor in conclusion can ruin an excellent summary. This trend is observable not just in literature but as well as in a number of other spheres of way of life, all sorts of musicians and designers confronted with a really dilemma as a result. Our recommendation is that you acquaint oneself meticulously with proposals after you get them allowing you to have the ability to seek advice, for people with any, to get resolutions.
It should indicate your comprehension of all things you've completed in the content and also your triggers for the process. And that's just about it! Producing an entitled short article reviewed isn't a hard option to take if perhaps you are applying a sufficient amount of labor and data.

He basic questions regardless of if the discourse transforms whenever a characteristic for example the article writer within the written text fades away. Alternatively, you ought to double check your teacher's directions, as quite often there will probably be an exclusive take note about that.
And that is certainly why we've produced this "how to write a major evaluation essay in depth" steer. But, just what is an essential study essay itself? Amazingly well, it can be a newspaper that reduces the presented text message portion by piece and suggests its different factors and attributes. The subsequent section offers the crucial element components and concepts just for the traffic.
Foucault within his blog post "Precisely what is an Source?" make use of the term 'discourse' to focus on a text authored by an actual writer (contributor) and its provides. After reading the guidelines, you'll have the opportunity to know an educational look it is advisable to abide by and adjust your career as necessary. As soon as you look at your teacher's instruction inside the carry on instant, it will likely be harder to communication them and grab guide.
It is very important present your ability to research similar things. If for example the publisher is famous and prosperous, the target audience will probably take action easier to him rather than to a less popular source or the individual that received some breakdowns. Your system copy will deal with the article per se. It will make guys pay more attention to this author rather than to the repair on its own.
The main topic of the article is crucial for folks learning discourse specifications and profile, doing this for the benefit of the inquisitive about the background of discourse studies. Give your point of view and guidance it with definite suggestions, as required. As well as while using the label to characterize an idea of created txt, Foucault also touches about this type of issues while the option for the discourse along with its variation after only each way of life.
Definitely, you only need a conclusions. The past point about this guide manages the leading concepts for concluding the evaluation. The catch is, although, that not every one of the previously mentioned instructors typically present creating a crucial investigation essay.
Expectantly, it won't take place for you after you check this steer. The structure with your document assess relies upon the scholastic manner you need to use. The only way to build a synopsis is often to craft an intro.
And do not forget – if identifying this pieces of paper demonstrates far too hard work-feasting on to your tastes, our tailor-made creating service is generally set to benefit.

One must always relationship this content associated with the iwriteessays.com scam brief article with your own expertise in the self-discipline the content is focused upon.
It has to be drafted even on a standalone document and may include all info about the writers (institutions, names, and many more.). It means that it possesses a great subject (or simply a subject website), an abstract, an introduction, a body chemistry and a overview (conclusion). Creating a key Evaluation Essay: A Thorough Advice
It's not unconventional for university students to realize him or her self with various tasks that fall under the category of our "essential assessment essay." Instructors and instructors prefer this task. This terminology is a must, since it is traditionally used a number of contexts and related not just in the literature. Thought process the peculiarities of each style and design!
Amongst other things, give thought to in-words citations, formatting of resources, research range, and many more.

You explain your point of view and thoughts about them really make a difference. It enables them to analyse students' chance to method and product review a given piece of written text very well.
You will be very careful, nevertheless, and steer clear of making your essay much too individual. Now, which can be not the proper way to instruct! You might not hold the time to pass through a wide selection of textbooks to locate the important information.

Furthermore, it is sensible in order to provide some fundamental prospect of the pieces of paper, create the followers at the topic area, its magnitude and provides any history information about the article along with its article author should it be important for future being aware of.

In fact, it declares the writer can be described as odd provide of an discourse.

It is document article realization case in point which helps you recognize the real key techniques.
He also seems to be into the way the method of discourse, its function as well as basics of wording investigation, as well as total perception of the writing, get affected. Traditionally assessments are designed in APA and MLA fashion, but there are certainly exceptions to the rule of thumb. Your teacher is often on the go and won't be able to supply you with any hints and tips.
This operate really needs to be printed in a somewhat subjective way. The dwelling associated with the step might well be a range of dependant upon the field and reason of the examination. The article indicates that in fiction the writing isn't a discourse function. However the copy was printed in the nineteenth century, it improves a relatively beneficial topic.

It all depends on ancient and sociable problems during every single culture and, thus, affects its community additionally.

To do this, it sends you an Athlon 200GE to update the BIOS.
Intel just announced a 56-core processor beast
It's been almost three months since Intel launched its Intel Xeon W-3175X, a 28-core, 56-core processor that, until now, was the company's most powerful chip. However, the company has just announced the new Xeon Platinum 9200, which goes up to 56 cores and 112 processing threads to crush workloads. In case these figures do not make it quite clear, it is clear that in the case of a Xeon the thing is designed for servers and data centers, not for home teams or players. However, we always consider this news as an advance of what one day we will mount on our personal computers.
We are not going to talk in detail about all the features that companies can use, but we are going to stop at the peculiarities of architecture. The Xeon Platinum 9200 belongs to the Cascade Lake family. In the server market, the Cascade Lake-SP series replaces the Skylake-SP, while on the work equipment side the Cascade Lake-X series will do the same with the Skylake-X. This does not mean that the company will take out "56 cores" to the consumer market. However, the Cascade Lake-X is expected to exceed 18 cores and 36 threads of the Intel Core i9-9980XE Extreme Edition which is at the top of the enthusiast processor market.
As far as the current linear of Xeon, the thing would look like this:
Xeon Platinum 9282: 56 cores / 112 threads, from 2.6 GHz to 3.8 GHz, 77 MB cache, 400 W from TDP
Xeon Platinum 9242: 48 cores / 96 threads, from 2.3 GHz to 3.8 GHz, 71.5 MB cache, 350 W of TDP
Xeon Platinum 9222: 32 cores / 64 threads, 2.3 GHz to 3.7 GHz, 71.5 MB cache, 250 W of TDP
Xeon Platinum 9221: 32 cores / 64 threads, from 2.1 GHz to 3.7 GHz, 71.5 MB cache, 250 W from TDP
As you can see, all that extra counting of nuclei falls to the detriment of the frequencies. In this case, the Xeon Platinum 9282 has a base frequency of 2.6 GHz and boost of 3.8 GHz, while the Core i9-9980XE has 3 GHz and 4.4 GHz, respectively, in frequencies, with a TDP of 165 W. On the other hand, the new Xeon doubles the cache figure per socket and is compatible with 12 channels of DDR4 memory.

Even though I was too busy the last couple months moving and working and traveling and whatever else to broadcast my reactions on the Interwebs, I still wasn't too busy to make it to the movie theater. I'm very rarely too busy for that. So here is a quick run-down of the new releases I've seen recently, along with the 30-second version of my verdicts on them. I do feel wistful that I'm not taking more time to engage in meaningful conversation about some of these titles – particularly Man of Steel. My complex emotions about just that one could probably fill an entire book. But realistically, more movies get released each and every weekend, I've started watching a new-to-me show (more on this later), and this fall television season just might see a genuine attempt by me to watch a current show or two for the first time in a very long while. So this is all you get.
Entertainment commentary from a Netflix addict
Category Archives: Superheroes
Missing women
A couple days ago NPR's pop culture blog, Monkey See, published a sort of half-developed think piece/rant about the options available this weekend for someone who wants to see a movie prominently featuring female character(s). Spoiler alert! There aren't many.
I get that the intent of the article was to point out the issue and raise a question that may not be answerable right now or possibly at all. But even so, it was dissatisfying for me. Mainly because I feel like Linda Holmes does have a valid concern. She's on to something important, but by tossing it out there rather superficially, it provides an opportunity for dismissive types to jump in and slam the door shut on the conversation. As evidenced by some of the comments NPR readers left.
I think an easy criticism to which the piece leaves itself open is the lack of acknowledgement that it's summer. The movie-going year is segmented into distinct seasons. Mid-June finds us solidly entrenched in the blockbuster season, and that's when the boys come out to play. When it's time to trot out the autumnal Oscar bait, I doubt the situation will be as grim as the one Holmes paints for this weekend. *
But really it isn't just a summer-only problem. As the New York Times reported earlier this month:
A recently published study by the University of Southern California's Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism showed that the percentage of female characters with a speaking part in the nation's top movies each year reached its lowest point in the past five years in 2012, at 28 percent.
There are probably a lot of different forces at play in creating this phenomenon, but that article and several others bemoaning the end of the "movie star" concept as we know it might hold the key for unlocking at least one facet of the explanation. In a world where (for various complicated market reasons) bankable stars no longer fill theaters by their names alone, studios rely more heavily on franchise concepts to sell tickets. As the Atlantic Wire article linked above notes:
Small movies soldier on and enormous ones flourish, but everything in the middle begins to evaporate.
And my theory is that the middle is where chick flicks have historically thrived.
However, it must be said, that the single most unavoidably ubiquitous ad campaign for any movie right now is for The Heat, a gal-pal cop comedy with Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy. Somebody somewhere is obviously expecting to make scads of money on this movie with a pair of female leads. Which should fill me hope, right? Except The Heat looks painfully awful.
Which brings up another topic that requires discussing, even if it makes me feel dirty to bring it up. And that's the matter of quality. Why are women's movies getting stupider? Why are they getting progressively more unpleasant all the freaking time? In her article, Holmes trumpets the success of Bridesmaids. I haven't seen it (and I actually do try really hard not to have opinions about movies I haven't seen, but it's difficult because my natural inclination is to have an opinion about everything). So let's just charitably say that nothing I've seen or heard about it has given me any reason to think it would be up my alley at all. I passed on it mainly because the appeal of Kristen Wiig has always been largely lost on me, but should I feel guilty about that? If the movies Hollywood condescends to make about women fail, then when will they ever spend money to make the movies I want to see? Sigh. I'm still not plunking hard-earned dollars down for The Heat, but it's food for thought.
There's a lot going on when we discuss where all the ladies have gone. Market forces, cultural drivers, and so on. I guess I don't want to slam the NPR blog, so much as I just want to take a time out to acknowledge the soupy complexity of the issue and get the ball rolling towards a more comprehensive discussion. So what do you all think?
* I admit this also leads to an equally easy counterargument. Why are the summer tent poles always male-centric? Beyond the occasional Angelina Jolie title, where are the female actioners? Personally I'm not exactly chomping at the bit to see a Wonder Woman movie (for whatever reason, I've never latched onto her as a character), but I find the length of time the project has languished in development hell equal parts fascinating and appalling.
Iron Man 3, finally!
No one who isn't me cares that I procrastinated on this, but I still feel bad about waiting so long. Mainly because I missed the opportunity to join the conversation as it was happening just because I psyched myself out over my imagined need to come up with something completely fascinating to say about it. Lesson learned: advertise sparingly. If I don't promise to write about something, then I won't feel bad if I decide to skip it.
So, IM3. It is completely the Iron Man I would expect from Shane Black. It has his schtick all over it.
- It takes place at Christmas
- It upends classic film tropes, including…
- Unconventional voice-over narration and…
- Hilarious one-liners from…
- A protagonist exorcising inner demons…
- As a noir-ish mystery unfolds
Back from hiatus
Last time on Full Stream Ahead: You were all breathless in anticipation of my review Iron Man 3 (yeah, right!). I did, in fact, see it opening weekend. But I decided I wanted to mull over my reaction for a bit so I would actually have something interesting to say about it. And then I got distracted by my mom's extended visit around Mother's Day weekend. But stay tuned because I'll be picking up steam with some new content this week.
As an apology for being a deadbeat blogger, I offer this genuinely terrible photo from when I attended the panel promoting the original Iron Man at the 2007 San Diego Comic-Con. What can I say? The legendary Hall H doesn't lend itself to lovely photography, but it was an amazing time. Even though at that time I knew next to nothing about the source material, I'd still rate seeing the first footage from Iron Man at the convention one of the absolute high points from my life as a fangirl.
Coming Soon!

Revisiting Iron Man 2
I loved Iron Man. Loooooved it. Naturally I saw Iron Man 2 as soon it opened back in 2010. Unfortunately, the chief impression I carried away from the theater was of disappointment. Because the sequel didn't live up to my expectations, the weight of my anticipation collapsed in on itself and became a disappointment that was shallow but wide. Not an intense disappointment (for I wouldn't have characterized it as a bad movie per se), but it still rendered in me a profound indifference that managed to cloud my memory of the movie to the point that I could barely recall the plot. And note, I typically have a scary-sharp memory for movies.* Continue reading

DC Top City For Female Entrepreneurs
Graphic Courtesy of NerdWallet
DC leads the nation in the best cities in America for women entrepreneurs. DC has the highest rate of women-owned businesses of the Top 10 cities for female entrepreneurs. Women own more than a third (34.5%) of the businesses in DC, which translates to women having a large peer group and mentors in the DC region. DC is home to many resources for women in the region providing training to female entrepreneurs to support their businesses (Washington, DC Women's Business Center) and an advisory council for female entrepreneurs to the federal government (National Women's Business Council). DC pays women far better than other cities in the U.S. and is much more business-friendly for female entrepreneurs than others.…
Car2Go Targets Expansion to Arlington and Alexandria
After years of having to return their cars back to DC following a day or partial day in Virginia, Car2Go customers who frequent destinations in Arlington and Alexandria are launching marketing and social media campaigns to get the same convenience in Northern Virginia.

Washingtonians Most Confident About Economy
DC's economy is the best in the nation and its residents remain the most optimistic about a continued rosy economy, according to Gallup's Economic Confidence Index for 2013. Despite coming off the heels of the worst recession in a generation, a paralyzed housing market and a recent federal shutdown, the Washington region has stayed ahead of all 50 states in economic confidence and remains in the top position in 2013.
Financial experts say confidence in DC's economy is a reflection of its very good job market for people with a college degree. The unemployment rate for residents with at least a college degree is a low 3% in DC. The Gallup pollster calls DC an outlier in economic confidence compared to all other states in the nation.

the Day Begin" with Mary Adams
6, 2009:
listen (left click),
(right click)
I was born in New Orleans, La. The first three
years of my life were spent living in Children's
Hospital due to birth abnormalities. I was
born without a right arm and at 9 months old
my right leg had to be amputated. My left
arm is half the length of a normal length
arm, but none of this has ever STOPPED me.
My family raised me just as any other kid
in my family. The labels cripple or handicapped
were never used to describe me...EVER!
started this mission October 1, 1992 when
it was first called "The Second Wind
Club." My main focus at that time was
helping local homeless shelters and sending
poetry cards to Children's Hospital for their
patients. In 2005 hurricane Katrina happened
and relocated our family to Texas. Although
the experience was HORRIBLE it turned out
to be a true blessing in the end. I sat down
with a friend of mine in 2007 and came to
the conclusion that I would no longer allow
the lack of compassion of others to stop me
from doing what I was destined to do. After
a few hours I had a new name for our mission
(http://Afiveoh4uplifting.org) and an entirely
new game plan.
was only right that we gear the mission to
create goody bags and uplifting mail for all
children & adults with major illnesses,
disabilities and for children living in homeless
shelters. My life has been a truly blessed
one and it's only fitting that I share my
blessings with others. With my family and
great friends by my side we have built this
into something truly wonderful and we hope
you will soon join us in this effort.

Adventure Knitting 3: A Trip to the Zoo
Product Description
Short Description: Choose each element of your zoo knitting adventure - make different kinds of hats, cowls, and mitts, all in custom sizes, and any weight yarn. There are 31 different stitch patterns total: 5 base patterns which each have several optional motif patterns to choose from, to be mixed and matched with any items. All items are worked flat, with choices for working different shapes/styles, and working either straight or diagonally. Hats and the rounded cowl are shaped with short rows.
Gauge: any gauge
Finished Measurements: any sizes
Materials Used: any type of yarn(s), most items take 1-2 skeins worth; most patterns use 1 main color, one base stitch pattern uses 2 colors
Needle Size: needles sized to match yarn weight; all items are worked flat
Pattern Includes: mix and match patterns for 5 items (mitts, smooth hat, pointed hat, standard cowl, rounded cowl), 31 stitch patterns written and charted (the item patterns are written), thorough notes for making the different things with lots of options, custom fit in any gauge; photos of all the stitch patterns
Skill Level: intermediate and up - the stitch patterns range in difficulty level (some are very easy); the construction is fairly simple for most items, but you'll need to have some knitting experience to understand how it all works together, as you'll follow the item instructions and the stitch patterns at the same time (sometimes working 2 stitch patterns within the same part)
Other Details: This is a paperback book, 8.25 x 5.25 inches and 36 pages. With all the options mixed and matched with each other, this collection can potentially make hundreds of different items; thousands, really, taking into account that any item can be made with any weight yarn. This is the kind of book that can be used over and over again, as a stash-buster, gift maker, a way to learn new techniques, and just a generally fun way to knit custom items!

Minta City
New city to bring 11,000 jobs to Berwick
We're transforming the long held, 285-hectare Minta Farm in Berwick into a next-generation employment hub integrating diverse housing for 5000 and inner urban-style amenity. Working in conjunction with a team of design experts, the proposed masterplan also protects natural vistas, waterways, heritage sites and biodiverse habitats that are cherished by locals.
"You can't force employers into undesirable locations. If you need jobs you need office buildings. But you're not going to get office buildings unless you've got the elements that create liveable communities – arts and culture, restaurants, sporting facilities and all those other pieces that make it a vibrant place to be."
Dean Landy
No one needs another dormitory suburb on the city fringe. Minta City champions a fresh approach to growth corridor masterplanning. It prioritises local employment and combines commercial, retail and innovation space with high-, medium- and low-density housing and the sort of community facilities, walkability and public transport we love about our inner suburbs. It creates an environment that attracts not only residents but employers too.
Over 25 years Minta will draw skilled locals to 11,000 jobs in business, hospitality, retail, technology, R&D and bespoke light manufacturing. Our plan embeds all the elements they'll need to be socially and commercially sustainable via mixed use precincts combining schools and childcare, gyms and sporting facilities, cafes and restaurants, public transport and bike paths, waterways and parks. We've channelled decades of retail, mix-use, health and education design experience into this project and it shows.
Minta celebrates its natural heritage. It preserves views to the Dandenong Ranges and protects heritage sites of Aboriginal cultural significance. And it celebrates the biodiversity of its own 'Yarra': the Cardinia Creek conservation zone, home to cherished populations including migratory water birds and the endangered Growling Grass Frog.
"Work practices are changing at a staggering rate and the only rational course is to be agile in order to anticipate and provide for demand, which means Minta City must incorporate a high degree of flexibility."
I Marshall Baillieu, The Minta Group
In inner-ring suburbs, diverse jobs in thriving neighbourhoods are assumed. They've been thin on the ground 40 kms from the CBD. Until now.
Minta City changes the conversation about employment hubs. It turns the process of attracting major employment generators on its head and turns away from the typical business park approach. It shows how to activate industry by embedding it in desirable communities that will attract a knowledge based workforce and embrace the natural environment. It's a resilient model that allows for changing behaviours in the way people work, and the way industry does business.
Minta emerged just as planners were reforming Victorian zoning. It helped the push for a new zone, Commercial 3, that allows fresh approaches to compact, medium density, mixed-use town centres.

NRCA CEO Reid Ribble testified before the House Select Committee on the Modernization of Congress today during its hearing, "Speaking from Experience: Former Members on Congressional Reform."
Ribble was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2010 and served Wisconsin's 8th Congressional District for six years. The committee heard from a bipartisan panel of six former members of Congress who shared their congressional experiences and offered potential areas for reform.
Ribble; former Reps. Tom Davis (R-Va.), Vic Fazio (D-Calif.), Martin Frost (D-Texas) and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.); and former ambassador Tim Roemer (D-Ind.) spoke regarding a broad range of issues, including staff recruitment, transparency, technology, building civility and trust, and improving the quality of life for those working in the legislative branch.

Our troop does one badge, one service, and one fun activity per month. All girl chosen and all girl lead. There are so many things that I want to teach this young women. Sometimes I find myself trying to cram a lesson into a fun activity. Your "Ask the girls" article really struck a chord with me. It reminded me to allow the fun activities to just be FUN. Not everything they do needs to be a lesson. I love watching these girls come together and each share their passions and talents. I feel so blessed to be a part of this experience for them. Thank you for sharing your insights. I'm glad I found your firstname.lastname@example.com

In our words
Hi guys, gals, gents, ladies, dudes, dames, anyone and everyone!
I'm certain a good bunch of you will have never heard of me before, so first off- hello, my name is W, and thanks for checking this page out 🙂 I'm a student, a blogger and a cultural magpie (i.e. gets easily excited by anything bright and shiny).
I'm not too shabby with a pen and some paper, either, and below is the sort of thing I can do:
So far, so broody. I can draw other things, like this…
…and I'm always looking at ways to improve what I can do. The only thing I need is a Byro and some paper; everything else is made up as I go along, and I can draw like this pretty much anywhere.
Here's the important bit: I draw like this for fun, because for the longest time drawing was my only way of fighting the anxiety I get from being around other people. I've spent a lot of time around mental illness, as a support worker and as a patient, and recently I've seen a lot more people start talking about it online. I've linked this post to several of them in the hope that they will help me reach more people 🙂
I believe 100% that the more we talk about mental illness, the more people are going to start listening, and the more we listen the less isolated we as individuals are going to feel. I know just how easy it is to feel worthless and forgotten, and the only reason I'm here writing this is because I was lucky enough to be reminded by other people that none of us should have to face our feelings alone. I'm well aware that other people aren't so lucky, who deserve our respect and support as much as the next person, and I want to do something about that too.
So here's what I'm going to do. Right now I have a piece of blank A3 paper, and I want you to help me fill it with thoughts and feelings about what it means to live with a mental illness.
Once I've got enough words I'll post again with the concept I've come up with (if you want to know my current ideas please comment, and I'll do my best to respond), and as soon as I've finished the piece I'll take a picture (using the best means available) and upload it onto this site. I'll also email a copy to anyone who gets in touch over email 🙂
Anything you want me to include can be as personal as you want. For now, I'm not going to include names, but if enough of you respond then I'll include a list of everyone who contributed in the drawing itself (with everyone's express permission). I will put down exactly what you say, but obviously nothing offensive- I'll reply to confirm that I got the email, and if I'm unsure about anything (like, for the sake of argument, a possible spelling mistake) I'll get back to you first before using it.
That's it, more or less.
This is an idea, and it's only as big as you want it to be. If no one responds, I'll draw something entirely to do with my experience of mental illness; if five or six respond, it'll be to do with those people (and I'll probably spend more time planning with them to make sure it turns out alright).
If lots of you respond, who knows- I'll do as I've just said, and after that it's entirely up to you what you do with the finished drawing. I'd be grateful if you let me know before using it for anything, so I can follow things and spread the news if anything interesting comes of it. In the past I've made T-shirts for people, and I'd love to get charities involved to help support those suffering from mental illness, but right now I have no idea what to expect from this post. By all means share it!
Serious bit: I'm always going to be trying new things so if any of this does get intentionally misused or misappropriated, it's not really going to impact on my end (although I'd be leery about trying this again in the future, as you'd expect). Please don't, is all I can say. I'll do my best to be open, considerate and clear with my ideas and views on this, so it's not unreasonable to expect the same from everyone else 🙂
This is my message to anyone else who has suffered from mental illness, a friendly reminder that you are not alone and that the world is listening.
Who wants to shout with me?
Email to contact me on: email@example.com
P.S. Apologies if anything about this has upset or offended you- it was totally unintentional, and I'm not all inclined to criticize anyone for having a different opinion. Stay honest, stay safe and stay awesome.
…why are people so freakin' noisy? Ugh. It should be obvious that if you're capable of thought, you are capable of keeping them thoughts inside your own damn head! Who cares if you like them thoughts? I like lying down in a dark room pretending I'm a gribbly thing with lots of teeth. Doesn't make it advisable to share them with every freakin' set of eardrums in the immediate vicinity. Who cares if you think it's a nice day? That's subjective! SHUT UP! I'm don't care!
…I knew this was a bad idea. Damn HH. I blame him. Actually, no. I blame me. Stupid me. Why'd you have to get all nostalgic and whimsy? We had a nice, calm, pleasant little time in that vacuum. Nothing but gribbly things with lots of teeth. Very simple. Very functional. But screw that, eh? Why waste an eternity in the blissful caress of mindless oblivion when there's a world out here full of Gordon freakin' Ramseys and meta-journalists? Ugh. Screw you. Screw whatever stupid messed up piece of you made us giddy about the sound of a perfect chord…
…they agree, you know. I'm certain. See the way they all look at you? Even the ones you don't see are looking. I can feel them, looking and seeing and judging and condemning every damn pixel identified by their Ned-damn 500 megawatt face-transmogrifying built-in camera. Ha! I hate them and their stupid thoughts. It must be nice, lolling through each day like a concussed puppy, looking from one thing to the next without ever stopping to wonder if no one else cares about the thoughts spewing uncontrollably from their stupid puppy mouth…
…admittedly, the coffee is good. That's one thing I could get used to, I suppose, providing no one takes it off me. I wonder why they call this place ":re". Couldn't they think of something…more wordy, even? Like, I'm pretty sure ":re" isn't a word. It looks more like a reference. Ugh. Good thing they do good coffee…
…y'know, I've noticed that bud at the counter has been watching me ever since I arrived; he's alright, I guess, as human things go, but I'm surprised this coffee ain't been drugged by now. He's looking at me the way a raven looks at a dog. Maybe he'd peck my damn eyes out if I dropped dead. I'm concerning him, just a little, and he won't look away. But he isn't scared. I don't mind. I'm not scared either…
…maybe it's between monsters. I don't know. How do you even define a monster as a monster anyway? Is it even a bad thing? People aren't often any better. Quite often they're worse, even, because monsters only exist in books. People do bad things all the time, whether you know about them or not. Ugh. I'm overthinking this. Screw people. And screw you, flower-man…
…somewhere out there is a guitar player. Playing that song. The song. I can't stop it. I don't want it to. But I'm gonna. I'm gonna finish that damn song and then I'm going home. I can't stand this place, with it's sights and sounds and smells and feelings and excitement and wonder and sheer bloody optimism…
…when does it end?

Connecting maths to the real world
As I said in the first article of this series - Lessons from PISA - no matter how you read the results of PISA 2012 in relation to the mathematical skills of our young people, there is a significant number of 15-year-old Australians who do not have access to sufficient numeracy and mathematical skills to be able to cope equitably with life in the 21st Century.
The reality is, many children (and adults) who have studied mathematics education in school are unable to easily transfer formal mathematical skills and apply them to tasks that are embedded in or resemble real-world contexts.
Here, I look briefly at one way of how we might better encourage students to see the world through mathematical lenses.
Mathematics in the real world is messy and complex, highly embedded and often hidden or invisible. This has been recently illustrated in a Workplace maths skills project that the Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers (AAMT) is undertaking with the Australian Industry Group, with support from the Office of the Chief Scientist.
The project investigates the mathematics needed by today's workers. One of the key aims is to identify matches and mismatches between what is happening in schools and what is needed in workplaces. The initial research has highlighted how much maths there is in workplaces, as well as how complex and buried the maths is.
A key challenge for educators is in how we can support students to grapple with unusual but realistic problems that may be buried, ill-formulated or complex and that require the student to transform the problem into a form amenable to mathematical treatment. This is obviously not an easy task.
A common way we attempt to bring the real world into the maths classroom is using the 'word problem'. Some students might get to such questions in maths classrooms, but often only after they have finished solving our standard algorithmic, abstract, non-context based questions.
Here are some existing examples I found of maths 'word problems':
Four horses cost as much as three cows, four sheep as much as two horses, and three lambs as much as one sheep. How many cows could I exchange for 40 lambs?
A bus and a car leave the same place and travelled in opposite directions. If the bus is travelling at 80 kilometres per hour and the car is travelling at 100 kilometres per hour, in how many hours will they be 210 kilometres apart?
But are these realistic questions that someone would ever ask or do as part of work or life?
Such questions bear no resemblance to how maths is actually used in daily life. As many a student would say: 'Who cares?'. This view is summed up nicely in an online postcard that I found recently that states: 'How I see math word problems: If you have four pencils and I have seven apples, how many pancakes will fit on the roof? Purple, because aliens don't wear hats.'
So, what can we do?
In PISA the aim is to find real situations and adapt them for the assessment purpose. Test developers find real materials or contexts and simplify them so they are accessible and still realistic.
I would recommend that educators stay away from word problems like those illustrated above and instead to try to find realistic situations to use as the basis for mathematical questions, such as in this public PISA item:
The Gotemba walking trail up Mount Fuji is about 9 kilometres (km) long.
Walkers need to return from the 18 km walk by 8pm.
Toshi estimates that he can walk up the mountain at 1.5 kilometres per hour on average, and down at twice that speed. These speeds take into account meal breaks and rest times.
Using Toshi's estimated speeds, what is the latest time he can begin his walk so that he can return by 8pm?
In a walk near Castlemaine just the other weekend, I indeed needed to do similar calculations in order to work out what time I needed to turn back from my walk so that I could meet a deadline I had later that afternoon.
In my next article, I will look at some of the framework that sits behind these international assessments that can further inform how we might address the issue of connecting maths and the real world in our classrooms.
How are you connecting maths and the real world in your classroom?
Do you use problems that reflect the real-life situations that your students are likely to face?
To find more publicly released PISA items such as the one mentioned in this article visit www.oecd.org/pisa/pisaproducts/pisa2012-2006-rel-items-maths-ENG.pdf (PDF, 3.1MB)
I can't agree more with this article!
As a teacher of technology and design, I frequently see students challenged by the simplist of mathematical problems. Mathematical problems that require strategic and lateral thinking to solve - not just good literacy skills.
It's a great point you make and one we should all heed. Thanks for the links to the PISA questions - they give a starting point for tired minds like mine.
Thanks Andrew and Shaun. Glad you found the snippet useful, and I hope the sample PISA maths items can give you some practical ideas of what can be used in the classroom. Let me know if you have any other questions - or wait til the next article!
Great article. I came across this article whilst researching into real world maths for adults. There are probably many adults out there that could be good at maths if their interest wasn't destroyed when they were in school grappling with a very unimaginative way of doing maths.
A simple definition of maths might be - a way of describing the relationship between things in the real world. Even abstract concepts such as the sq root of -1 and Delta are tricks to overcome tricky problems such as in Calculus. At least that's my take- I don't pretend to be an expert!

Looking For A Career, Not Just A Job, In New Orleans
By: Jesse Hardman | WWNO | 7/29/2016
WWNOs community engagement project the Listening Post is back with a new episode.
While the service industry looms large for locals looking to make some money, those jobs don't necessary help people make ends meet, or take care of their families.
With some new industries flexing their muscles in town, some new career options are starting to take hold, but will that mean jobs and leverage for young adults in the city?
We asked folks around town the following questions.
What was your first job and what did you get paid?
What do you do for work now, and how do you feel about it?
What career advice would you give your 18 year old self?
We got a lot of great feedback about peoples careers and lives around this city.
As part of this episode, we got out into the city to see how young adults here are feeling about their career prospects.
We started in the French Quarter, hopping on a city bus with 20 year-old Gentilly resident Cody Watson.
It was around 11:30 pm on a Thursday night, and Cody was heading home from his server job at Bubba Gump shrimp Company. He was still dressed in his uniform.
"Blue jeans, Bubba Gump shirt, and hat with a bottle opener on the bill…"
The number 55 bus was half full, mostly with people dressed in aprons, chef pants, crocs, and other staples of the service industry, one of New Orleans's main economic engines.
"As a server I get paid 2.13 an hour," said Cody. "Most of my money is based off tips," he said.
Cody works 5 days a week during the summer. During the school year, when he's attending Dillard University, he works around 3 days a week. He was studying nursing. But he said he decided that wasn't his passion, "just to have a backup plan is really the only reason I'm in school. I've always wanted to become an actor."
As the bus dropped Cody off at his stop near the end of Elysian Fields, he disappeared into the night with his dreams, has hat with the bottle opener, and the $60 in cash he made during his shift.
Brandon Rapp, who is six years older than Watson, a Yale graduate, and a West Bank native, says it's good to shoot for the stars career wise, but local students like Cody Watson shouldn't drop career focused majors like nursing just yet. Especially if they stick around New Orleans.
Rapp said there's a lot of nursing jobs about to come online in town, "23,000 high middle skill job opportunities are going to open in health sciences over the next 10 years."
Brandon Rapp works for Greater New Orleans Inc.(GNO Inc.), a regional economic development company. His bosses have identified industries, like water management and digital media, that will drive the local economy in the next decade. Rapp said he wants local folks to fill as many of those jobs as possible, "the goal would be to get more people trained in these opportunities, to be successful."
Rapp says even if somebody is working as a waiter in the French Quarter right now, those soft skills are a good start. It might just take getting some extra training, somewhere like Delgado, to qualify for more career oriented jobs.
"How do they connect into these job opportunities, how should they be thinking about the next 10 years?"
As usual, we wanted to know what's on the minds of New Orleans residents when it comes to careers. We set up our Listening Posts in New Orleans East, Broad Street, and Central City, and asked people what their first jobs were, how they like their jobs now, and what career advice they'd give to their 18 year old selves.
We also shared our jobs survey with people around town on their cell phones. And we invited a special guest to pick a favorite response.
Jenny Ainsworth lives in the East and just graduated from Warren Easton High School. She finished
Jenny had a few Listening Post text messages she liked. But she said there was one that really caught her eye.
1st job and salary: My first job was as a carhop on roller skates at Sonic Drive-In. I made $5.15 an hour, plus tips.
Current job, and how you feel about it:I'm now a marketing assistant. I like the company I work for, but it's long hours and I could make more for the work I do.
What career advice you'd give your 18 year-old self?: Money doesn't make you happy, but it definitely makes life easier. Go to school for something that will pay you what you're worth so you can live without financial stress.
While Jenny Ainsworth is off and running to a 4-year college, there are other ways for New Orleans kids to start building a career path.
At 10:30 on a Tuesday morning, trainees at Café Reconcile are getting ready for the lunch rush. 27 year old Jeffrey Vannor is leading the charge. Vannor first stepped through Café Reconcile's doors in 2005. Vannor now trains kids who come through the 11 week program. Café Reconcile is geared towards getting young adults into an internship and hopefully a job in the service industry when they finish.
Vannor has done a real tour of the New Orleans service industry since completing Reconcile's program. He's worked at tons of restaurants, and catered at Tulane and the Superdome. He's always taken his work in the service industry seriously, he said he hasn't always felt the love back, "a lot of jobs in New Orleans need to just show appreciation for the small workers, the low income workers, the dishwashers, the bus runners, the regular waiters, the people who make it happen."
But Vannor's stuck with it. More recently he's been back where it all started, at Café Reconcile, training new students on the floor. He says a lot of the beginners complain after a few weeks that they can make more money on the street. Vannor said he just tries to lead by example, "I'm walking down the street with the tips I made just from smiling."
Vannor's way has paid off. This week he started a new job, NOT in the service industry. He's the very first alumni coordinator for Cafe Reconcile. A title that comes with a salary.
"It's a blessing," he said, "it's the most I ever made."
And it comes just in time. Vannor and his girlfriend welcomed a new son last month. He's excited to keep building his family, and career, right here in New Orleans.

text: Creativity World's Greatest Dad Shows You How It's Done in Ad for Peanut Butter Cheerios Watch and learn from a cereal loverBy Alfred Maskeroni|July 22, 2014 Share By Alfred Maskeroni|July 22, 2014 Share Fathers have been making a comeback in ads lately—they're no longer just sniveling idiots with no parenting skills whatsoever. Now, General Mills helps dads in their revival with this Canadian campaign for Peanut Butter Cheerios. The ad below, from Tribal Worldwide in Toronto, shows us a dad who is seemingly on top of his game—delivering a rapid-fire manifesto about the wonders of dadhood as he navigates his house, making sure his wife and four kids are all happy and well cared for. He's sensitive but no pushover. He's the rule maker, not the rule breaker—but he'll be your buddy as well. He's a good dad, one who cares about his kids, even though he wings one son across a bed in the first scene. (No wonder the kid already has a broken arm.) In its style, the ad will inevitably draw comparisons to Old Spice and Dollar Shave Club, with some GoldieBlox empowerment thrown in for good measure. And while it's a little on the goofy side—especially toward the end, when Dad mugs in slow motion, throwing fake gang signs around behind a hashtag—the sentiment isn't lost on us. "Because being a dad is awesome, just like new Peanut Butter Cheerios are awesome," he says at the end. "And that's why it's the official cereal of dadhood. And this, my friends, this is #howtodad." (There's a Tumblr, too, with tips and aphorisms for those who are truly eager to do better dadding.) See, Dad doesn't have to be cool. He just has to be there. And not be a moron. Credits below.

Please contact us for more information 1-888-287-2046, as we will be better able to provide you with the most up to date information over the phone. One of our representatives will be happy to help you find a used racking product that best suits your business needs.
