Cobalt-Free Drier for Improved Drying Time in Alkyd Paint
Borchi® OXY-Coat is a metal-based cobalt-free drier for improved drying time in paints containing an alkyd resin. It demonstrates excellent drying performance at low use levels in solvent-based alkyd paint without the use of an auxiliary drier. It is particularly efficient in coatings using propylene glycol.
Borchi® OXY-Coat provides improved drying time in alkyd paint compared to a cobalt drier in long oil alkyd systems. This catalyst also works in short and medium alkyd systems
This solution is a unique catalyst that is applicable in a wide range of coating systems that dry oxidatively.
Benefits of Cobalt-Free Driers
Benefits of Borchi® OXY-Coat include improved drying time, gloss, and haze in alkyd-based paint. This solution also provides brighter whites and acts as an anti-yellowing agent in coatings. Adhesion is improved in direct to metal applications with the use of this product.
Cobalt-free paint driers are ideal solutions for formulators looking to meet stringent environmental regulations.
According to the Cobalt Institute, cobalt may be regulated out of the coatings industry by 2021. As cobalt is increasingly being labeled as a toxic metal around the world, Borchi® OXY-Coat boasts as a curing solution that does not contain any toxic metals. It is also low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and compliant with Proposition 65 and REACH guidelines.
Borchi® OXY-Coat works well for exterior coatings used in adverse weather conditions. This extends the coatings season window for paint applications. It provides wrinkle-free drying in hot weather and faster drying in cold weather.
Color advantages include warmer wood tones, non-yellowing of substrates, and brighter whites in coatings compared to cobalt and manganese carboxylates
Compared to cobalt carboxylate driers, cobalt-free paint drying additives allow exterior coatings to be used in adverse conditions. They provide improved dry times in a wide range of weather conditions
Unlike cobalt alternatives, Borchi® OXY-Coat prevents wrinkling in hot weather, creating a smooth substrate surface
Borchi® OXY-Coat is a better alternative to a cobalt drier in direct to metal applications when used in standard and adverse conditions
Borchi® OXY-Coat provides improved adhesion due to better cross-linking compared to cobalt alternatives
Ideal applications for Borchi® OXY-Coat include wood, industrial, and architectural coatings, as well as printing inks.
Physical Characteristics
Appearance Clear brown to yellow liquid Viscosity Max. 200 mPa·s (informative) ISO 3219 (A) (20 °C) Density Approx. 1.04 g/cm3 (informative) DIN 51757 (20 °C) Solvent 1,2-propylene glycol (informative)
- Cobalt-free drier for alkyd paints that improves drying activity, color performance, gloss and haze compared to cobalt-based driers
- Brighter whites and non-yellowing in coatings
- Based on a unique, patented, highly active iron complex
- Primarily recommended for the use in solvent-based systems
- Can be used in all coatings which dry by oxidation
- Coatings with resins that that dry by oxidation
- Alkyds
- Vegetable oils
- Epoxy esters
- Polybutadiene
- Others
All resin systems are unique and will require the level of Borchi® OXY - Coat to be optimized for the best cost and dry. We recommend using a ladder study of 0.5 -3 % Borchi® OXY - Coat as supplied on resin solids. Please keep in mind that too much Borchi® OXY – Coat might inhibit through dry. Borchi® OXY - Coat should be added as one of the last ingredients before the Anti-Skinning agent.
Protect from the effects of weathering and store at temperatures between 5 and 30 °C. Once opened, containers should be resealed immediately after each removal of the product.

§ Mr. Sayeed
To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if she will make a statement on OPEC's oil reserves.[9945]
§ Mr. Wilson
OPEC-11 (i.e. including Iraq) proven oil reserves1 are estimated to be around 800 billion barrels, approximately 80 per cent. of proven world reserves (Source: US DoE, Energy Information Administration website). Current OPEC-11 spare oil production capacity is approximately 4.7 million barrels per day, compared to production of 27.2 million barrels per day and world oil demand of around 76 million barrels per day (Source: International Energy Agency, October Oil Market Report). Information on the level of oil stocks held by OPEC countries is not available.1Proven reserves of oil are generally taken to be those quantities that geological and engineering information indicates with reasonable certainty can be recovered in the future from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions.

text: To be honest I visited the Village Cafe on Richmond Rd a few years ago for lunch and let's just say have not been back since. Today was proof positive that whatever bugs they had have clearly been ironed out. We were promptly seated for brunch in a busy, clean and lively environment. Considering how busy it was service was exceptional and polite. I had the eggs Benny and my partner the frittata. We also shared a goat cheese salad. The quality and freshness were very high and although a lot of food we did a good job of cleaning up. Cafe au laits are good here but a bit pricey. The chef did share his lime honey glaze recipe that covered a wonderfully fresh fruit salad. All in all it wont be as long of a wait before I return for the dinner menu. A neighbourhood treat in the village.

How are you going to get the 91 inside the kick without making a hole in the head, which I presume you don't want to make because it sounds good the way it is? Time to get out the power drill...
Well, the SM91 has a very small plug on the end of the cable, which actually fits through the little airhole on top of the kick (not all kicks, but the Gretsch works), so that's how we get the mic in there. Obviously, I have to take the front head off for the installation process, but it goes back on, no hole, right after.

Michael, correct me if I'm wrong...
I believe, when Michael gets back in the studio, he will set up a speaker box with an SM91 inside it. Then he will place this interesting contraption where the D112 is placed in the picture.
Nope, sorry, the SM91 goes inside the kick (it's there to pick up the attack, so it needs to be close to the beater head) and the little speaker contraption; I posted a picture here:
goes right in front, kinda where the D112 is right now.
Very cool idea. I must try this on the next drummer that has a double skin bass drum without a hole.
true, no rules, maybe that works too

"I Remember preaching in Liverpool in a certain church, and the results were astonishing. In ten days that church took in 400 new members. I was amazed. But I learned that a poor old bedridden woman had been praying about it. When we get to the other world, and find out the secrets of Heaven, we will find that some people we never hear of now—some bedridden saint, some one living way up near the gates of paradise—will have accomplished a great deal more than some men who have been heralded through the press.
A Great many object to the noise of revivals—the unhealthy excitement. Why, there is more excitement in a race-course in one day than you will see in a church in fifty days. Get into a political campaign, and you will see more excitement than in a hundred religious meetings. "Undue excitement!" they say. "Some people will get out of their minds." The fact is, the world is out of its mind, anyway.
Again, some object to revivals because, they say, they are "not in the regular order." Remember that it was church dignity that crucified Christ. The Sanhedrim were very careful of church dignity, and so they had to put Christ out of the way. He didn't come in the "regular" order. You never find a single prophet that comes in the regular line. God will always work in His own way. He will mark out channels for Himself.
We need to learn this lesson, and just stand aside and let Him work—work as He pleases.
I Believe a man who is full of the Holy Ghost will have liberty. What we want in our churches more than anything else is this liberty. Why, look at the stiffness in most of our churches. Put a man in an audience where men and women are going to criticize, and he won't have much liberty—much freedom. In the day of Pentecost, how many do you suppose criticized? I don't believe Peter would have preached near as well as he did if people had been criticizing him.
But while he was preaching the people were listening in a proper frame of mind, and they helped him right on. He just had liberty that day—great liberty. When you see a minister in the pulpit who doesn't have liberty, pray for him. You will find he will get on much better than if you were to sit there and criticize him. When a man has the Spirit in him, he will have liberty. It won't be hard for him to speak and testify. There's many a man toiling hard in the pulpit, with no liberty—bound hand and foot. Oh,
My friends, where the Spirit of the Lord is, there will be liberty.
You may be as dry as Gideon's fleece—all dried up— no power at all; but it is the privilege of each one of us to have the dew of Heaven resting upon us all the while. That is what God wants. Are you thirsty? I sometimes wish we had in every church a meeting for hungry and thirsty Christians. I would put a man at the door so as not to let any one else in. Let him ask everyone: "Are you hungry? Are you thirsty?" They wouldn't know what you meant, some of them. Lots of people go to prayer-meeting because it is customary.
They go year after year—go for nothing, and get nothing.
They are not in earnest about anything. Now, it seems to me that if we could have a meeting in all our churches of two, three, four, or five Christians, dead in earnest—wanting the power of the Spirit, and the power of God resting upon them—there would be a wonderful difference. If they were really in earnest in asking for the gift of the Holy Ghost, they would get it.
I Have heard a great many people say we should empty our hearts so as to let the Holy Spirit come in. Well; I know I can't empty my heart. I can't get pride out of my heart. I can't get jealousy out of my heart. I wish I could. I haven't got the power. But if a man desires above everything else that he may grow smaller and smaller as John the Baptist did—if it is his desire that he shall decrease and Christ increase; then I believe the Lord will pour the water down so that it will crowd out those things.
Sometimes in trying to make a pump work I used to see if I could pump all the air out so as to get all the water up. After trying a while that way, I would get some water and pour it in from the top, and that would crowd the air out. When a man finds that he can't empty his heart, what he wants is just to let the water in from above. Get under the fountain.
Elijah says to Elisha: "Is there anything you want? Don't be afraid to ask. You seem to be very timid." Elisha says: "Yes; there is something I want." "Well; don't be afraid to ask. You shall have whatever you want." A blank check! Well; what did he ask? Did he ask for as much of the Spirit as Elijah had? That would have been a great thing. Talk about kings! Elijah had power over kings. Kings are in the habit of ordering their subjects around. Here was a subject who was in the habit of ordering kings around. Talk about the power of Caesar, Napoleon, Alexander—the great generals and warriors of this earth. Why, it is nothing to the power of the man who is in communion with God.
Elisha isn't going to ask for a small thing. He says: "I want a double portion of thy spirit." I can see Elijah turn round to him in surprise, and say: "You have asked me a hard thing." But he says: "If you see me when I am taken from you, you shall have it." "Then," says Elisha, "you'll not get away without my seeing you." He wanted a double portion of Elijah's spirit, and he was determined to get it. So he took good care to see him in the chariot, and he did see him. Elisha performed just twice the number of miracles that Elijah did. Jesus Christ has come down from Heaven since then, and is it so wonderful to ask for the influence of the Spirit? We ought to have a hundred times more power than Elijah and Elisha had.
God has a niche for every one of His children.
Happy the man or woman who has found his or her place. A great many men want to do big things. That is the mistake I made when I started out. I wanted to preach to intelligent people, but I found the people didn't like to hear me. So I began with the children. They liked to hear me, and I got along very well—I grew right up along with them. But it was years before I could talk profitably to grown people. I talked to the children, and it was a grand school. It was the preparation I needed. That was my theological seminary.
There is nothing the world so wants as holy men. The cause of Christ is paralyzed because of sin—sin in believers. The natural man will always take sides against God when you press him close, and say, "God isn't going to punish sin. He wouldn't do this or that." But the new man ought always to justify God, and take sides with Him against sin. There ought to be that difference between God's children and the children of the world; and when people say the punishment is severe and unjust, we should side with God, and say,
"Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?"
God will do right, every one will say "Amen " when it comes to the punishment of sin. And we should all condemn sin as God condemns it, the moment we see it. It is in ourselves, though sometimes it is hid from us. It may be some hidden sin that keeps God from using us more. Let us be honest with God, and ask Him to search us and show us ourselves. Let David's prayer be ours: "Search me, O my God"—not my neighbors, nor other people, but "Search me!"
Although God forgave the sins of Jacob and David, and the other Old Testament saints, yet there were certain consequences of their sins which those saints had to suffer after they were forgiven. If a man gets drunk and goes out and breaks his leg, so that it must be amputated, God will forgive him if he asks it, but he will have to hop around on one leg all his life. A man may sow thistle-seed with grain-seed in a moment of pique against his master, and the master may forgive him, but the man will have to reap the thistles with the grain.
We don't thank and praise God half enough.
That is one reason why so many of our churches are so dull and gloomy. When churches get into a backslidden state, they hire singers to stand away up in some organ-loft and praise God for them. How can we expect God to give us further blessings if we don't thank Him for what He has given us? There ought to be more of thanksgiving in our prayers, and there ought to be more of thanksgiving from the heart in our singing.
One of the best ways to wake a church up and start a revival, is to hold a praise-meeting.
I'm glad there are things in the Bible I don't understand. If I could take that book up and read it as I would any other book, I might think I could write a book like that, or that you could. I am glad there are heights I haven't been able to climb up to. I am glad there are depths I haven't been able to fathom. It's the best proof that the book came from God. I suppose there are a good many things in the prophecies concerning Christ that no one could understand till Christ came and fulfilled them.
Just look at some of those prophecies. He was to be born in Bethlehem, and carried into Egypt. When that announcement was made, how strange it must have sounded! But when the time came, God put the whole world in motion to bring Mary to Bethlehem so that Jesus might be born there. Caesar issued a decree that the whole world should be taxed. All this was done just to bring that virgin up to Bethlehem. I believe that God would have created a world rather than that any prophecy should be unfulfilled.
I Believe the reason people won't come more than they do into our churches is because we don't feed them enough on the Word of God. They have been fed on sawdust long enough. For men who have nothing but essays it is hard to get pulpits, and it will be harder.
The reason there are so many pulpits vacant is that there ain't men enough willing to give the Word of God.
Go into one of our city parks in winter to feed the birds and throw down a handful of sawdust. You may deceive them once, but you won't a second time. But throw down crumbs, and they'll sweep them up. So in the churches, give people the Word of God and they will know the difference.
A man once made an artificial bee, and thought no one could tell the difference between that and a real bee. But another man said he could show the difference. He put the two bees down on the table, and then put a drop of honey before them. The real bee went for the honey. There are a great many artificial Christians, and they don't want the Word of God.
They'll go somewhere else. Well, let them go. For every one that goes, five will take his place. What we want is to give people the Word of God in season and out of season."—D. L. Moody At Home; T.J. Shanks; 1886.

Psychotherapy is a broad term used to describe talking therapies, including counselling. Both counsellors and psychotherapists provide a service for those looking for support and treatment for a wide range of mental health and emotional issues. The possibility that there is a difference between counselling and psychotherapy is a heavily debated question in the field of mental health treatment, and one that has yet to be answered.

The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington is working to develop a system that can produce jet fuel from seawater.
Last year the US Naval Military Sea Lift Command, the main fuel supplier to Naval vessels that are at sea, delivered around 600 million gallons to ships that were on the open water.

Refuelling is a very difficult and dangerous procedure when two vessels are at sea, especially if the seas are rough, or there is a storm, or even in the middle of a fire fight. Yet it is also vital as running out of fuel would be devastating to a naval ship in action.
The NRL has designed a system which harvests carbon dioxide and hydrogen, the raw ingredients of jet fuel, from the seawater. NRL discovered that gathering carbon dioxide from the seawater was far more efficient than getting it from the air because the concentration in seawater is 140 times greater. The hydrogen and carbon dioxide go through several processes to create olefins (a hydrocarbon), and then two more steps to turn the olefins into suitable jet fuel.
So far the lab tests have indicated that the process will produce jet fuel at a cost of around $3 – $6 per gallon. Now all that is needed is large scale tests on the open sea.

The history of private law in Germany in the first half of the 19th century is well known for exhibiting a fascinating scientific awakening. Although there was little legislation, especially not many codifications, the scholars of the historic school of law (Historische Rechtsschule) with their thinking back to the tradition of the records laid the foundations for the modern system and dogmatics of legal doctrine that remain until today. In a way not imaginable today, the scientific doctrine formed the contemporary private law. But this well-known role of the literature as one of the main law-producing elements hides too easily the view of a second very important contribution to the modernisation of law: the jurisdiction of the courts. The following comments will show that the jurisdiction of the courts also played a large role in unifying the law and thus in the creation of supra-regional law. Therefore, this essay will focus on the activities of the most well-known German court of the first half of the 19th century.
The Oberappellationsgericht (High Court of Appeal) of the four free cities that operated in Lübeck between 1820 and 1879 was the most esteemed court of its time. Founded because of German constitutional law in 1815 1 , it was the third level of jurisdiction for mainly civil-law cases 2 from Hamburg, Frankfurt, Bremen, and Lübeck. But in 1869, 60% of the cases had to do with commercial law. 3 The members of the court were often well-known German legal scholars; in particular, the court presidents Georg Arnold Heise, Carl Georg von Wächter, and Johann Friedrich Kierulff were prominent jurists. 4 As judged by Bernhard Windscheid, the seat of the president of the court was as important as Savigny's professorship in Berlin. 5 Rudolf von Jhering's nice bon mot of Germany's educated court confirms this positive picture. 6 The heyday of the court lasted until 1870 but came to an end with the foundation of the Bundesoberhandelsgericht in Leipzig. After having lost Frankfurt from its district in 1866, the court slowly but surely lost its jurisdiction and with the implementation of the reformatory laws (Reichsjustizgesetze) in 1879 it was dissolved and incorporated into the still existing Hanseatic Oberlandesgericht in Hamburg.
Suits under commercial law are of special interest for modern scholars for many reasons. Commercial law as a whole is known to have been one of the factors in the legal modernisation of the 19th century. 7 Here there were possibilities of making law and solving problems independent from the stiff framework of Roman law. Therefore, many legal scholars, the so-called Germanists, found interest in commercial law. One speciality of maritime commercial law, with which the court had to deal much of the time, was that there was always a relationship with foreign law. The point of origin and the destination of a ship were in two different states. Hence questions arose about the areal and personal ambit of territorial rules of law. This was also a possible catalyst for unification of law, meaning the development of supra-regional legal provisions of commercial law beyond the ambit of rules of special law.
In the following discussion, the legal practice of the Oberappellationsgericht will be illustrated by examining two case studies more closely.
The first of these cases was decided on 22 December 1831. As was the situation so often, it was about the loss of a shipload of cargo through rough weather conditions in winter. 8 In older times, it was generally not permitted to pass through the Baltic Sea between 11 November and 22 February. 9 Passage by sea in the 19th century in December and January was no longer problematic legally, but it was still dangerous. In December 1828, skipper Peter Larsen of Lübeck signed a contract with Dietrich Gottlieb Witte to deliver some fruit from Lübeck to Tallinn. 10 The ship departed on New Year's Eve from Travemünde for Estonia but returned on 15 January 1829 because the bad weather rendered it impossible to open the portholes. The crew feared that the fruit could go bad because of smoke and dust, and so they came back. The skipper asked his partner in the contract what he should do to keep the fruit fresh, but the latter just answered that he was only the forwarding agent and the bills of lading had already been transferred to Tallinn, so the skipper would have to decide what was best for keeping the fruit fresh. 11 When the skies grew lighter, the skipper opened the portholes and saw that the load had become wet and also that some boxes were so hot that one could not touch them with the bare hands. The steersman and the sailors made a formal statement about this, and the skipper demanded damages from his contract partner, Witte, to pay for his efforts to preserve the fruit.
In a seemingly harsh decision, the Oberappellationsgericht dismissed the claim completely but did refer the case back to the lower court to clarify further questions. 12 In its reasons for the judgement, the court, as in other cases, managed to direct all disputes back to questions under the general law of obligations. Thus the solution in this special case gained judicial transparency and generalisability at the same time. As a possible basis for claim, or 'action' in the terminology of Roman law, the court considered agency of necessity (negotiorum gestio) and the freight contract. Remarkably, the agency as a quasi-contract stood at the beginning and was therefore supposedly superior to the contract. 13 In a very brief decision, the court rejected reimbursement of expenses for two reasons. Firstly, the plaintiff's contracting partner had been in Lübeck. He had had the possibility to come to Travemünde at any time and look after the fruit on his own - which he did not do. Secondly, Witte had said that the bills of lading had already been sent to Tallinn. Hence the Oberappellationsgericht concluded that Witte as principal obviously had no interest in saving the fruit. At this point in the reasons for the judgement comes a sentence as might be seen in a textbook: "Now no right can be gained from an agency against someone who himself has declared that he has no interest in the thing, that he does not want anything to do with it and thus abandons the thing." 14 Dogmatically it stands out that the court did not differentiate between the question of whether the defendant actually was the agent - and thus whether the preservation of the southern fruit was agency by Witte - and the connected question of whether this was part of his intention. Both issues could be subsumed under the interest of the agency.
Only after rejecting the claim for reimbursement of expenses from negotiorum gestio did the court deal with the matter of contractual claim for payment. This again shows the willingness to find generalisable solutions that break out of limitations of the special law. In general, the court acknowledged the duty of the skipper to take the best possible care of the shipload in cases of emergency at sea and in the emergency harbour. This resulted from an analogy to a statute from Lübeck about the cooling of grain and the recovery of shiploads in the event of a shipwreck. 15 The intention to overcome the narrowness of the special law can be seen particularly well in the fact that, although the outcome was already clear, the reasoning for the judgement adds that the same also follows from the nature of a freight contract as a kind of lease contract (locatio conductio) in which the recipient has to apply the same amount of care to preserve the goods as a diligent head of household (paterfamilias). 16 The reference to the 'nature of the thing' as comes up in the judgement was a topos often used by Georg Arnold Heise even before his time as president of the Oberappellationsgericht of Lübeck. 17 He often used it as an argument in his later-to-be-printed lectures on commercial law 18 , which shows his apparent closeness to Savigny's doctrine of sources of law. 19 With arguments such as these, the court left all the specialities of special law and maritime law behind and thus shifted the solution over to law of obligations only, here the discussion about rights and duties within the lease contract - the still unified type of contract known as locatio conductio. 20 Considering Roman law, the court stated that this kind of contract would normally grant reimbursement of expenses 21 but in this case the plaintiff had sued the wrong person.
After that, the Oberappellationsgericht examined whether the skipper could at least claim the agreed cartage or parts of it from the defendant if a coincidence concerning the skipper had kept him from finishing the promised tour. During this examination, the court prioritised a solution from Roman law, putting the relevant sources of special law second. Following the rules of Roman law, the court assumed that the contract had been annulled without the skipper being able to raise any claims against the defendant 22 , for the skipper had returned to his original port unsuccessfully. The return had been due to coincidence - namely, the bad weather conditions - and not on account of the fruit having gone bad. Had the skipper brought the spoilt fruit to Tallinn or had he berthed at a harbour on his route to Estonia, the situation might have been different. Now, however, the carrier could only be expected to adhere to the contract if the long stay in Travemünde for the necessary repairs was not to the disadvantage of the charterer. The court based this decision on Roman law 23 as well as on several rules of maritime law from the...

Sitting here on my side porch attempting to close the tabs on the school year- literally- I have so many that need closing, I have a few final things to share with you before the official start to summer. This has been a whirlwind start to the 2020 year and to be honest, I am already wishing for summer 2021 just to know that we are not only past whatever will come this winter, but to know that we made it through what may be another hybrid school year. It's not that I want to wish the time away, but I am looking forward to progress and changes on numerous fronts. So, as we are about to slide into summer, here are some resources to add to your beach reading and teaching toolbox.
The first is from Matt Miller: An Educator's Resource for Distance Learning, Remote Learning, and e-Learning. Always one to share excellent resources, this set of ideas, tools, and templates will have you ready for whatever the 20-21 school year brings our way. You can even sign up for this free, 14-module (ranges from just over 3 to just under 14 minutes per module) Remote Learning 101 course. From "gearing up for remote learning" to "now what" including ideas that use no internet to how to help students with slow internet and others in between, this free course will help get you ready to enhance your remote teaching.
The next four links are to three Bitmoji Classrooms and resources. What is a Bitmoji Classroom you ask? Bitmoji Classrooms are interactive Slides using your Bitmoji and colorful backgrounds to share links, assignments, books, and more in a fun visual way. You can learn how to create your very own Bitmoji interactives here. So the first two links (actually the third and fourth if you are counting) is a copy of a free background you can use in your early childhood/kindergarten classroom to get started. Think of them as templates for those of us who like to start with them. You can just switch out her Bitmoji for yours, add your own message to the board and you can stop there or swap her bookshelf and books (with links) for your own. Both are easily adaptable to your upper elementary and even middle school classrooms with just a few changes. This is one for a Dr. Seuss-themed bookshelf and this is one for a Pete the Cat bookshelf. This last Bitmoji Classroom is a Black Lives Matter reading room filled with books and video read alouds to read and watch to with younger students to learn about being an an ally, an anti-racist, and learn about building a positive racial identity. Finally, here is a classroom full of math manipulatives like ten-frames, unifix cubes, base ten blocks and so many more for your students to use to practice their math skills. Be sure to click each element in all of the classrooms to see all the great things you will find.
The next few links are for teachers to read and learn about implicit bias, microaggressions, and culturally responsive teaching in the classroom so that come the fall, we can all do better for our students and colleagues. The first is from Edutopia, A Look at Implicit Bias and Microaggressions: A primer on the impact of implicit biases in schools and how they can be expressed by students and faculty. The next is, What is Culturally Inclusive Teaching. In it you will find videos, definitions, strategies, TED talks, lessons, and more; just keep reading, watching, and scrolling. This next article is from the Atlantic and it is titled, "What Anti-Racist Teachers Do Differently." Hint: "Educators who are committed to black students use evidence in their own classrooms to find ways to improve" and, "It requires educators to view the success of black students as central to the success of their own teaching" They are not afraid to hold a mirror, be reflective about their practice, and hold themselves accountable for reaching all students everyday.
Looking for more ways to keep your learning going during the summer? Perhaps a little daily dose of learning to help prepare for the upcoming school year? The Global EdTech Academy is a free series of master classes, office hours, and edtech resources that you can watch and learn on your own time. So far, I watched Connecting the Community: Race and Culture in Education – Moderated by Ken Shelton (see Wakelet for additional resources) and am planning on watching the two-part master class, Embedding Authentic Choice and Voice with Pernille Ripp (creator of the highly successful Global Read Aloud). You can find all 41 current recordings here on their YouTube channel.
This final link is for all the history teachers out there who want to make sure that all stories are told and who want to "bridge history and current issues". My colleague Mark, an amazing history teacher who seeks to do (and does) just that every day, shared it with me and so now I share it with you. It is the Choices Program from Brown University. Be sure to explore Teaching with the News, the free resources and lessons for your classroom.
Happy summer!

On March 15, 2012, compliance with the 2010 Standards was required for new construction and alterations under Titles II and III. March 15, 2012, is also the compliance date for using the 2010 Standards for program accessibility and barrier removal.
Aloha Tatiana! I wish your questions had straightforward easy answers – and if you are government funded it kind of is. (See here: https://www.ada.gov/websites2_prnt.pdf) if you are not government funded, this is something that is currently being debated in the legal system. That being said, the WCAG 2.0 guidelines are a good set of guidelines to help protect yourself if you feel you should. (You can see more on WCAG here: https://www.yokoco.com/find-out-how-to-make-your-website-compliant/)
The trick to finding top web designers is to understand what you're trying to build. There's a big difference between designing a landing page meant to be the receiving end of a sales funnel and building an enterprise site that will serve corporate clients. The web designer is responsible for translating your unique brand identity into the visual elements that make up a website. The cost of your project will depend largely on your scope of work and the specific skills needed to bring your project to life.
The type of operating system and hosting doesn't matter much for design, but the platform is a factor. For instance, if you need a WordPress theme, the designer must work with WordPress themes and customize them in a way that a developer can feasibly code in CSS or JavaScript on the front end. If you use another CMS, the developer must work with those elements. Most designers specialize in specific platforms, so review their portfolios and experience for specific platforms before you invite them to bid on your project.
How much their services cost. One of the most important things to determine is how much you're willing to spend on a website, and then take note of how much each agency charges. The sentiment holds true that you typically get what you pay for — if a web design agency is charging dirt cheap for a design, you probably won't be happy with the results. There is definitely room to have a budget, but keep in mind what you'll generally need to pay for a high-quality website.
HTML tags – specific instructions understood by a web browser or screen reader. One type of HTML tag, called an "alt" tag (short for "alternative text"), is used to provide brief text descriptions of images that screen readers can understand and speak. Another type of HTML tag, called a "longdesc" tag (short for "long description"), is used to provide long text descriptions that can be spoken by screen readers.
This title outlines the administrative processes to be followed, including requirements for self-evaluation and planning; requirements for making reasonable modifications to policies, practices, and procedures where necessary to avoid discrimination; architectural barriers to be identified; and the need for effective communication with people with hearing, vision and speech disabilities. This title is regulated and enforced by the U.S. Department of Justice.

This is particularly important when working for a government agency or government contractor, as these organizations must follow web accessibility guidelines under Section 508 of the Workforce Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Although ADA and Section 508 compliance are different, the published checklist for Section 508 compliance offers insight into ways to make websites accessible for people with disabilities, and thereby work toward ADA compliance.
The web design company you choose must be able to interpret your company's mission and identity and turn it into an appealing website that connects with potential customers. They must help you reach your target audience and meet your business goals. A web design agency should have on staff both talented web designers, with fresh ideas and extensive technical and creative skills, and a marketing team that knows how to drive traffic to your site, encourage visitor engagement, and convert visitors into customers. Web designers should be able to build in search optimization and integrate your site with a content management system and e-commerce tools. Look, too, for a website design company that understands responsive design and can optimize your website for mobile devices and desktop browsers. The right web design company understand current design and website trends, has experience building sites in a variety of industries (not just yours), and has an expansive portfolio of live websites. Finally, don't simply hire the cheapest bidder — in web design, as in all things, you get what you pay for.
The Department has assembled an official online version of the 2010 Standards to bring together the information in one easy-to-access location. It provides the scoping and technical requirements for new construction and alterations resulting from the adoption of revised 2010 Standards in the final rules for Title II (28 CFR part 35) and Title III (28 CFR part 36).
Videos need to incorporate features that make them accessible to everyone. Provide audio descriptions of images (including changes in setting, gestures, and other details) to make videos accessible to people who are blind or have low vision. Provide text captions synchronized with the video images to make videos and audio tracks accessible to people who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Any business that is considered a "place of public accommodation" is required to provide equal access to services under the nondiscrimination requirements of Title III of ADA. When you look at the guidelines closely, this includes hotels, entertainment venues, legal and accounting firms, retail stores, and virtually every business that is not a private club, including businesses that exist solely on the web.
This particular lawsuit amounted to nothing more than a shakedown for cash, as the current laws would make it difficult to win the suit in court (more about this later) but it prompted me to dive deeper into the issue of ADA compliance. Through my research, I discovered there are some new laws on the horizon that could make ADA compliance mandatory, which means web designers and digital marketers need to know how to prepare.
To be protected under the ADA, you must have, have a record of, or be regarded as having a substantial, as opposed to a minor, impairment. A substantial impairment is one that significantly limits or restricts a major life activity such as hearing, seeing, speaking, walking, breathing, performing manual tasks, caring for oneself, learning or working.
Hey OB – Disclaimer – none of this is legal advice and you'd want to check with a lawyer to know if you're at risk for any action if you're not ADA compliant. Based on what we've seen if you don't have a physical retail or service location, and you don't receive any funding from the government you likely aren't required to have a website that would be considered compliant. Some people expect that to change in the next few years, but that's what we know for now. Let us know if you have more questions or would like to test your site.
The ADA provides explicit coverage for service animals.[22][23] Guidelines have been developed not only to protect persons with disabilities but also to indemnify businesses from damages related to granting access to service animals on their premises. Businesses are allowed to ask if the animal is a service animal and ask what tasks it is trained to perform, but they are not allowed to ask the service animal to perform the task nor ask for a special ID of the animal. They cannot ask what the person's disabilities are. A person with a disability cannot be removed from the premises unless either of two things happen: the animal is out of control and its owner cannot get it under control (e.g. a dog barking uncontrollably in a restaurant), or the animal is a direct threat to people's health and safety. Allergies and fear of animals would not be considered a threat to people's health and safety, so it would not be a valid reason to deny access to people with service animals. Businesses that prepare or serve food must allow service animals and their owners on the premises even if state or local health laws otherwise prohibit animals on the premises. In this case, businesses that prepare or serve food are not required to provide care or food for service animals, nor do they have to provide a designated area for the service animal to relieve itself. Lastly, people that require service dogs cannot be charged an extra fee for their service dog or be treated unfairly, for example, being isolated from people at a restaurant. People with disabilities cannot be treated as "less than" other customers. However, if a business normally charges for damages caused by the person to property, the customer with a disability will be charged for his/her service animal's damages to the property.

Camacho is a blind resident of Brooklyn, NY. He is currently making headline news for taking 50 colleges to court under ADA lawsuits. Camacho filed lawsuits regarding website accessibility for all 50 of the colleges. The plaintiff uses a screen-reader but experienced a barrier when trying to access information. The majority of colleges being taken to court are private, including Cornell and Vanderbilt to name a couple.
This portion of the law is regulated and enforced by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Employers with 15 or more employees must comply with this law. The regulations for Title I define disability, establish guidelines for the reasonable accommodation process, address medical examinations and inquiries, and define "direct threat" when there is significant risk of substantial harm to the health or safety of the individual employee with a disability or others.
In 2008, the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA) was signed into law and became effective on January 1, 2009. The ADAAA made a number of significant changes to the definition of "disability." The changes in the definition of disability in the ADAAA apply to all titles of the ADA, including Title I (employment practices of private employers with 15 or more employees, state and local governments, employment agencies, labor unions, agents of the employer and joint management labor committees); Title II (programs and activities of state and local government entities); and Title III (private entities that are considered places of public accommodation).
Talk to your web designer about other techniques that will make your site more user-friendly for people with disabilities. Worried that's not in your budget? Consider the fact that DOJ fines start at $75,000. And it's still yet to be determined if a non-compliant website is liable for one fine or will be charge per page for each violation. As the recent lawsuits illustrate, though, settlements quickly add up into the millions.
Input Assistance: When users are entering input into the website, any input errors are automatically detected and written out, providing, for instance, text descriptions that identify fields that were not filled out or data that was in the wrong format. The website also provides suggestions to fix the errors. Input fields and buttons are labeled to provide their functions and instructions. If the user's input is being used for legal purposes or financial transactions, then the user must be able to reverse submissions or correct errors.
Under 2010 revisions of Department of Justice regulations, newly constructed or altered swimming pools, wading pools, and spas must have an accessible means of entrance and exit to pools for disabled people. However, the requirement is conditioned on whether providing access through a fixed lift is "readily achievable". Other requirements exist, based on pool size, include providing a certain number of accessible means of entry and exit, which are outlined in Section 242 of the standards. However, businesses are free to consider the differences in the application of the rules depending on whether the pool is new or altered, or whether the swimming pool was in existence before the effective date of the new rule. Full compliance may not be required for existing facilities; Section 242 and 1009 of the 2010 Standards outline such exceptions.[21]
Title II of the ADA prohibits discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities in all programs, activities, and services of public entities. It applies to all state and local governments, their departments and agencies, and any other instrumentalities or special purpose districts of state or local governments. It clarifies the requirements of section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, for public transportation systems that receive federal financial assistance, and extends coverage to all public entities that provide public transportation, whether or not they receive federal financial assistance. It establishes detailed standards for the operation of public transit systems, including commuter and intercity rail (e.g., AMTRAK).
The ADA statute identifies who is a person with a disability, who has obligations under the ADA, general non-discrimination requirements and other basic obligations. It delegates fleshing out those obligations to federal agencies. The agencies issue regulations and design standards. The regulations have the details on the rights of people with disabilities and responsibilities of employers, state and local governments, transportation providers, businesses and non-profit organizations. The design standards specify how many entrances need to be accessible, how many toilet rooms and the design for those elements. To know what the ADA requires, you need to read the law, regulations and design standards.
While the U.S. Department of Labor's (DOL) Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) does not enforce the ADA, it does offer publications and other technical assistance on the basic requirements of the law, including covered employers' obligation to provide reasonable accommodations to qualified job applicants and employees with disabilities. For a quick overview of the ADA read "The Americans with Disabilities Act: A Brief Overview."

For Avanti Hotel to address the issue and make its website ADA compliant, it will cost around $3,000. However, oftentimes businesses must pay damages to the plaintiff on top of making the fix. In this particular case, the settlement is expected to be between $8,000-13,000. If the owner chooses to fight, damages plus lawyer fees could put him at more than $25,000. This is a heavy burden for a small business.
This was a case filed before The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan Southern Division on behalf of the Michigan Paralyzed Veterans of America against University of Michigan – Michigan Stadium claiming that Michigan Stadium violated the Americans with Disabilities Act in its $226-million renovation by failing to add enough seats for disabled fans or accommodate the needs for disabled restrooms, concessions and parking. Additionally, the distribution of the accessible seating was at issue, with nearly all the seats being provided in the end-zone areas. The U.S. Department of Justice assisted in the suit filed by attorney Richard Bernstein of The Law Offices of Sam Bernstein in Farmington Hills, Michigan, which was settled in March 2008.[66] The settlement required the stadium to add 329 wheelchair seats throughout the stadium by 2010, and an additional 135 accessible seats in clubhouses to go along with the existing 88 wheelchair seats. This case was significant because it set a precedent for the uniform distribution of accessible seating and gave the DOJ the opportunity to clarify previously unclear rules.[67] The agreement now is a blueprint for all stadiums and other public facilities regarding accessibility.[68]
