When you think of Global Positioning Technology (GPS) you probably think of a technological map that gets you where you need to go on time and lets you know when you should expect delays thanks to those traffic jams we all know and love.
While GPS technology is the best thing for finding your way to practically anything, the technology is also saving lives on the daily.GPS is used by all sorts of industries from airlines to boats to emergency respondents, as well as your everyday neighbors. And it’s used for much more than just directions to the nearest truck stop.
Here are eight ways GPS technology is saving lives in 2017.
It may be surprising to hear that fatal train crashes are still occurring in the 21st century. At least they were until Congress put its foot down in 2008 and mandated all freight rail systems to utilize a computer-based crash avoidance system called Positive Train Control or PTC by 2018.
The PTC program is based on Global Positioning Technology (GPS), which tracks the location and distance of active trains, speeds, railroad traffic, as well as the condition and placement of tracks. The system is designed to prevent dangers from derailment related to excessive speeding and train entrance onto rails undergoing construction or maintenance. PTC also will stop a train from moving onto a track that is not positioned correctly.
When the system calculates a crash may occur, such as when another train is too close for comfort, it brings the train to an emergency stop. Despite being significantly late, implementing this GPS technology is making the railroad system more efficient and saving lives.
In 2016, 40,000 people in the United States lost their lives to motor vehicle accidents. Driving is historically the most dangerous method of travel. However, car manufacturers are working with GPS technology in pretty cool ways that are saving lives in 2017 and will save even more in the years to come.
How are they doing it? Self-driving cars!
The United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) claims that approximately 80% of vehicle wrecks are due to human error. Utilizing radar sensors and GPS can allow cars to take control when a danger appears. GPS technology is implemented to prevent vehicle-to-vehicle crashes, including pedestrians and cyclists, too. Its coordinates detect where others are located in the area and their proximity. Working with sensors, the technology detects speed and alters the car’s pace or stops the car completely to avoid a collision.
Advanced GPS also accounts for traffic management systems such as stop lights, ensuring the car will stop or yield when necessary. Basically, cars are becoming robots. But instead of taking over the world like a sci-fi movie, they are saving lives.
Speeding, losing control, hard-braking, crossing the line, unfamiliarity with roads, and maintenance issues are among the top causes of commercial truck accidents according to the USDOT National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration. All of these errors can be prevented using GPS technology designed for fleets.
Fleet GPS tracking systems have the ability to prevent aggressive driving though tracking driver speed, including acceleration and deceleration rates. Technologies also provide immediate alerts to drivers and managers for various behaviors such as touching the line, not wearing the seatbelt, hard braking and turning, and sudden stopping. If there is an emergency, drivers can alert their fleet managers and provide their exact location.
When it comes to driving on unfamiliar roads, GPS programs can inform drivers on everything from road conditions, high traffic times, road structure and design, to the most popular stops. Maintenance issues that cause accidents can be prevented with advanced GPS technology, too. Hard braking is one of the largest causes of wear and tear for trucks. Through driver tracking and prevention, your fleet may avoid related issues.
Having road knowledge, direction, and alerts will not only keep your drivers safer, but it will ultimately be saving lives of everyone on the roads.
Without GPS technology, it would be nearly impossible to track and coordinate airplanes. Understanding where planes are and when prevents planes from getting too close to other aircraft and prevents plane-to-plane collisions– something devastatingly hard to imagine.
Accurate coordination of the skies and knowledge of the environment also prevents collisions with structures such as buildings or mountains ranges. Even when physical sight is difficult for pilots, GPS technology can provide a lens to see what’s ahead. This comes in handy especially when planes are searching for places to land.
When uncooperative weather makes it difficult to find drop points, pilots can rely on their GPS system to designate a point and direct a safe landing. Within military operations, knowing aircraft positioning and speed can be the key to preventing undue harm.
Of course, we can’t forget the original reason for GPS technology within the aircraft world– direction. GPS provides airlines and military units with the quickest and most efficient routes to the desired destination, saving time and also resources.
Basically, the utilization of GPS technology in aviation has made flying considerably safer and is consistently saving lives.
Designed and controlled by NASA, Distress Alerting Satellite System (DASS) is a U.S. operated satellite system used for tracking distressed signals from activated beacons. The program incorporates search and rescue instruments onto GPS satellites. Using GPS is highly effective because every point on earth can be viewed by at least four GPS satellites at any time.
When a distress call is signaled, DASS obtains data from all four satellites so rescuers can make quick and accurate estimates on distance, time, and location.
“I’ve met some of the 30,000 people who have been saved by this system… Without NASA, they wouldn’t be here with us today.” –Gilmer Blankenship, Techno-Sciences Inc.
GPS is vital for local rescue teams as well. Having exact coordinates and the quickest route to accidents and emergencies allows police, firefighters, and EMTs to get to the location faster, making saving lives easier.
Lastly, GPS can aid in search in and rescue on the other side of the equation. Did you hear about the camper who was bitten by a rattlesnake and not able to move to find help? Well, lucky for him, he was able to use his GPS mapping system on his smartphone to provide emergency respondents his exact location. Today’s systems on our phones and handheld devices can save our lives in the case of an emergency such as Camper Joe. They allow emergency personnel to get to you quicker.
As just mentioned, GPS technology provides boat location to search and rescue teams in emergencies. It is important on the water, as it provides latitude, longitude, and altitude — the main coordinate system used at sea.
But, when it comes to saving lives, GPS does more than just pinpoint boaters’ positions.
All GPS technology allows for efficient navigation, preventing mariners from losing their way and getting into unfortunate situations such as running out of fuel. Advanced systems can track structures on the water, their direction, speed, and proximity. They can also safely direct a boat’s autopilot system and connect to radio systems so anglers can communicate with other boaters or dispatchers.
Whether the GPS is high-tech or standard, it will no doubt help in saving lives of all types of boaters.
Nobody wants to go through the nightmare of having a loved one go missing, especially children. GPS technology is used by many products to keep track of people in the case of an emergency. There are applications designed for smartphones that utilize GPS to track the phone’s location. This works great if a person is with their phone.
However, many times a person goes missing or is kidnapped without a cellphone. So, companies have designed products that can be worn as bracelets and devices that can be placed in backpacks and purses. There is even a tennis shoe with built-in GPS tracking for older adults with Alzheimer’s. These devices allow family members or friends to always know where a loved one is through GPS satellite tracking.
When you feel your child or someone is in danger, you can use the device software to quickly find their location and provide their position to emergency responders, and/or know where to go to find them. This is why a GPS tracking device can be the saving grace in saving lives.
The technology doesn’t only have to be used for children or family members. Many are designed for pets, as well. I don’t know about you, but I know what it’s like to have a dog (a husky to be specific) that loves to wreak havoc throughout the neighborhood any chance he sees an entry door left open. Although he always comes back, it is scary not knowing where he is and the potential dangers he could be facing– such as driving vehicles. A GPS tracking device placed on your pet’s collar will help you find Waldo before any harm to come to him.
Whether you need a GPS tracking system for your child, parent, or pets, it will give you a piece of mind knowing where your loved ones are at any time.
Whether it’s tracking down the runaway in a car chase or pinpointed military targets, GPS technology is there for duty. Police units place GPS tracking devices in suspect’s vehicles to track criminal activities and locate persons of interest. They also use GPS to make sure people on parole and house arrest are abiding by their provisions.
It gets more innovative, though. There is a new device that is used specifically for car chases. It is called the StarChase system and it projects a GPS device that sticks to the target vehicle. The sticky tag will relay the car’s location to the police base. Pretty cool, huh?
When it comes to military targeting, our efforts have never been more precise thanks to GPS technology. GPS tracks missile paths, aircraft patterns, and even bombs, allowing accurate knowledge and targeting for attacks. Using exact coordinates to plan attacks will ensure harm does not come to any outside of the specified area. Thus, militaries can warn civilians and soldiers where attacks will occur and what area to evacuate or avoid. Soldiers themselves rely on GPS technology to navigate their way through enemy territories and break away from dangerous circumstances in the most effective way.
Locating and preventing criminal activity as well as efficiently tracking and targeting military operations is just one more way that GPS technology is saving lives in 2017.
Now that you can see how important GPS technology is for saving lives, it’s time to make sure your fleets are secured. At Fleet Trax, we provide GPS vehicle tracking solutions designed to fit your fleet’s needs, whether large or small. Our devices will provide the locations of your drivers in real-time, track fuel consumption and speed, ease payroll, and provide preventive maintenance.

The Minister of the Popular Power for Health, Carlos Alvarado López, highlighted the role of Palestinian doctors in Venezuelan operating rooms to help patients in the country. During the Sovereign Health radio show , transmitted by RNV Informativa, the head of the health portfolio said that this visit was made within the framework of the strengthening of bilateral relations between both nations.
15 Palestinian doctors carried out more than 70 interventions in four hospitals between Caracas and Vargas state, despite the electric sabotage suffered by the country last March.
The delegation consisted of neurosurgeons, traumatologists, surgeons, anesthesiologists and obstetric gynecologists, as well as medical students who live at the headquarters of the Latin American School of Medicine (Elam), located in Venezuela.

It’s easy to mistake daylily rust for streak disease, but experts believe that rust disease doesn’t survive in regions of North America with cold winters. However, if you find this disease in summer (usually on newly purchased plants), remove the plant from your garden, as it is highly contagious to other daylilies. The pathogen responsible is Puccinia hemerocallidis.
Small water-soaked spots develop on leaves and flower stalks, then expand into raised pustules, turning yellow with brown margins and finally, shedding powdery rust-colored spores. Only leaves are infected, not roots or crowns. Symptoms appear early in the season in zones 7-10 and later in the season in zones with cold winters.
Following spore release, leaves turn brown and dry up. Rust symptoms may sometimes look like daylily streak disease, but if you draw a finger along the underside of a fully infected leaf, it should leave a smear of rusty orange spore powder, which is characteristic only for rust.
Disease cycle: Rust diseases are very complicated. Daylily rust requires two host plants — daylily and Patrinia sp. — to complete the full life cycle that includes overwintering spores.
Without Patrinia, rust disease can still spread very quickly among plants, but it is not as likely to overwinter in the leaves where winters are cold and daylilies go fully dormant.
How this disease spreads: The spores are spread by wind, tools or the gardener moving among daylilies. Takes only 5 hours of moist, humid, 70-75°F (21-23°C) weather for a spore to penetrate and infect a new leaf. Symptoms are visible in 2 to 3 days. Infections spread quickly from leaf to leaf and plant to plant.
Controlling rust: Avoid overhead watering. Remove and destroy any Patrinia plants in the garden. Dig up and remove any infected daylilies and either burn them or put them into trash bag and send them to a landfill. Do not compost. Using fungicides for this disease is not practical for the home garden.
Even though rust is unlikely to survive in the plant over the winter in zones 6 and colder, an affected daylily can infect other plants so quickly that it’s best to destroy diseased plants as soon as possible.
If you live in the US and you suspect you have daylily rust or want to know if it is in your area, contact your state plant pest diagnostic laboratory.

The official record of the hearing consists of documents submitted by the Parent marked P1- P32 , as well as documents from the Tewksbury Public Schools marked S1-14, and approximately four hours of recorded oral testimony. The record closed on April 2, 2008 after oral closing arguments were received from both parties.
If so, is reimbursement for math tutoring services at Kumon an appropriate remedy for this procedural violation?
II. Are the math tutoring services reflected on the IEP appropriate?
If not, is reimbursement for math tutoring services at Kumon an appropriate remedy?
III. If so, has the School District implemented the math tutoring?
IV. If not, are there any facts that excuse the School District from implementation or any facts that bear on a remedy if noncompliance is found? See 603 C.M.R. 28.08 (6) (b).
3. Mother asked the TEAM to include the Kumon math tutoring on Luke’s IEP (S4, Mother, Murray, Sinclair, Deveau).8 Mother asserts that the TEAM chairperson, Ms. Sinclair, told Mother that she would need to speak to the Systemwide Team Chairperson, Cheryl Porcaro, before she could approve Kumon tutoring (Mother). The other TEAM members do not recall whether this was said (Murray, Sinclair). Mother asked Ms. Sinclair why she had to check with Ms. Porcaro when she was not a member of the TEAM. Ms. Sinclair did not answer Mother’s question (Mother, Sinclair). At the end of the meeting Mother knew that Tewksbury would not be offering Kumon in the IEP (Mother, Murray).9 Ms. Murray indicated in the Team meeting notes: “Mother accepts the IEP however she rejects the placement of the tutoring.” (S2, Murray).
4. Tewksbury proposed an IEP that calls for: daily consultation with staff, inclusion support in math; preferential seating in the classroom with extra time to complete tasks and tests if needed; the use of study guides, word banks, graphic organizers and homework agendas, and reference sheets and a calculator for math in the classroom and during the MCAS (S4). The IEP also calls for a tutorial in math for two sixty-minute sessions per week by a tutor (S4). The TEAM determined that Luke required tutorial services at the end of the day for two sixty minutes sessions per week, and through an extended year period, to prevent substantial regression and to remediate deficits in math (S4). The IEP also designates that Luke will be provided with regular transportation and indicates that if Luke is placed away from the local school, transportation will be provided (S4).
5. Tewksbury sent Luke home with the IEP on December 19, 2007 and Mother received it on that day (Mother, Sinclair, see S4). Mother rejected the IEP because she felt that if it did not specify Kumon, Luke would not be offered appropriate services. Mother based this conclusion on the fact that in December 2006, Tewksbury had offered Luke a math tutor from a high school student that was not appropriate because the student did not know how to deal with Luke’s processing issues (Mother). Mother knew that at the time that she received the IEP that Tewksbury was not offering math tutoring at Kumon. However Mother did not know what Tewksbury was offering and did not know what to do (Mother). Under the Parent Options/Responses section of the Placement Consent Form (PL1) of the IEP, Mother checked the box that said: “I consent to the placement” (S4, p. 11). Under the Parent Option/Response section on p.10 Mother checked the box that said: “I reject the following portions of the IEP with the understanding that any portion(s) that I don not reject will be considered accepted and implemented immediately. Rejected portions are as follows”: Then Mother wrote: “pg. 6 Tutorial Services” and signed and dated the IEP that day.10 She also included the following comments under the comments section of the IEP “Luke is falling behind in math due to his lack of basic math skills. Luke was participating in the Kumon math program and is slowly making progress. He needs to continue with this program at least until his math skills are up to grade level. Luke receives Kumon at the Kumon Center of Tewksbury, and is tutored at home throughout the week using Kumon materials. This tutoring should be included in his IEP” (S4. p. 10).
6. On December 28, 2008 Cheryl Porcaro, the Systemwide Team Chairperson, sent Parents a letter that indicated that it was required to notify the Bureau of Special Education Appeals (BSEA) when an educational program is rejected in full or in part and informed Parents that it would be sending a copy of the rejected IEP to the BSEA (S5). In this letter Ms. Porcaro wrote: “ It is my understanding that you are accepting the services listed on Luke’s IEP but are rejecting the district’s refusal to fund the tutorial services at Kumon. Please know that the district has available certified regular education and certified special education teachers who can tutor Luke twice a week after school should you accept the district’s services”11 (S5, see also Porcaro, Sinclair).
7. On January 22, 2008 Ms. Porcaro again wrote to Parents in response to a letter that they sent on January 3, 2008 requesting that the District fund tutoring at Kumon (S6). Ms. Porcaro indicated that “Luke’s IEP does stipulate that he receive math tutoring (2) hours per week provided by the District. The statement on p. 8 of the IEP that states;” Luke attends the Kuman (sic) Center once a week and practices the skill daily and is successful, Mother wants this to continue” is recorded under the Additional Information section of the IEP and is not a statement of intent to fund the service but rather a statement to provide the reader of the IEP information that is not recorded elsewhere on the IEP. As you know, the district has certified regular education teachers and certified special education teachers who can provide this service. The instructors at Kumon are not certified teachers.” (S7, see also Porcaro). The letter goes on to say: “The district stands ready to provide the math tutoring but cannot support tutoring by another agency whose instructors are not certified teachers” (S7, see also Tewksbury’s response, Porcaro).
6. Parents filed a hearing request with the BSEA on January 22, 2008. In that hearing request Parents stated that the TEAM had made a decision to include tutoring at Kumon but that the decision was overruled by a town administrator that was not at the meeting. Parent requested that the town pay for tutoring at Kumon ( see Parents’ hearing request).
7. A resolution session occurred on February 6, 2008. It was not successful (Mother, Porcaro). A Hearing Officer initiated conference call with Mother and School Counsel occurred on February 13, 2008. At that time the Parties joint motion to convert the February 26, 2008 hearing date to a further conference call was granted so that Tewksbury could provide Mother information regarding the details of the math tutoring program. Tewksbury provided the information by status report on February 27, 2008.12 The status report listed the work that the tutor would be doing in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division ( see Tewksbury’s status report February 27, 2008). The report indicated that tutors would be provided after school from 2:05 p.m. until early evening; that the tutoring schedule would be mutually agreeable by the parent and the tutor; that tutoring was typically provided at the public library and that transportation would be the responsibility of the Parent ( Id, see also Porcaro).
8. Another conference call occurred on February 28, 2008. At that time Mother indicated that she would be willing to explore a tutor from the district but that she currently would not be accepting the tutoring proposed by the District because the tutor would be teaching Luke information that he already knew (Mother).
9. The TEAM reconvened on March 13, 2008. Mother informed the TEAM that Luke was working on fractions in Kumon math tutoring and will be moving on to decimals13 (S10, see also P3). The TEAM also reviewed progress sheets from Kumon and discussed where tutoring should occur. Mother agreed to meet the District’s proposed tutor (S10). The TEAM amended the math goals of the IEP eliminating the addition and subtraction goals and detailing benchmarks concerning fractions (S12).
10. Mother rejected the tutor that Tewksbury offered because the tutor14 was only available from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. and that the tutoring would be inappropriate because Luke refuses to stay after school and had no transportation home (Mother).15 Tewksbury agreed to continue to look for a tutor that could provide the math services on the IEP (Porcaro). Hearing dates were set for April 2, 2008 at 1:30 p.m. to continue on April 7, 2008 if needed.
11. Ms. Porcaro sent Mother a letter by overnight mail dated March 31, 2008. This letter indicated that it would continue to offer the original tutor and could also offer a tutor who could tutor Luke after 4:00 p.m. in accordance with his IEP (S14, Porcaro). Mother received Ms. Porcaro’s letter at approximately noon on April 2, 2008 (Mother). In the letter Ms. Porcaro indicated that this tutor was a certified special education teacher and could begin as soon as Mother accepted the services (S14, Porcaro). Tutoring would be provided at a mutually agreeable location usually at the town library (Porcaro). Parent would be responsible for the transportation (Porcaro).
12. Luke has been receiving Kumon tutoring since August 2007 (Mother). During the summer Luke attends on Mondays and Thursdays and can go anytime between 3:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. He usually only goes once per week during the school year; however regardless of whether Luke attends once or twice a week the fee is still $90.00 per month. While Luke is attending Kumon he is required to do math packets that address fractions and division (Mother). Assessments at Kumon show that Luke has made progress and has been able to move from work on long digit multiplication and division to fractions and has progressed from Level B to Level E in the program (P2, P4, Mother). Luke is more comfortable in math class than he was at the beginning of the year and has been able to move on from working on slope16 to work with fractions (Malatesta). Luke’s math teacher believes that tutoring is beneficial because it gives Luke extra practice with the concepts (Malatesta).
13. Luke’s Kumon tutor has received training in the Kumon method; however the tutor is not a certified teacher and the Kumon program, is a tutoring program and is not an approved special education or regular education school (Mother, Porcaro). Tewksbury does not believe that it can be ordered to provide services at Kumon because the program is unapproved and unaccredited ( see Tewksbury’s March 26, 2008 motion to dismiss, but see Ruling on Motion, March 27, 2008, Beron).
At issue is whether Parent should be reimbursed for math tutoring at Kumon. Here, if Parent can show by the preponderance of the evidence that Luke was denied a FAPE due to any procedural violations by Tewksbury, or that the School District has offered inappropriate services, and/or has not implemented the services, and also show that the services offered at Kumon were appropriately responsive to her child’s needs so that he can benefit educationally, she will be reimbursed for math tutoring services at Kumon.
Here the Parties agree that Luke requires math tutoring for two sixty-minute sessions per week in order to receive a free appropriate public education (FAPE).
Parents may be reimbursed for the costs of providing special education and related services for their eligible children if they demonstrate that the program and services offered by the school district are inappropriate, and that the program and services that they obtain privately are appropriate. School Committee of Town of Burlington , Mass. v. Dept. of Education of Mass ., 471 U.S. 359, 369-70 (1985). To be deemed appropriate, so as to qualify parents for reimbursement, the parents’ chosen program need not be a state approved special education school, so long as it is does meet the federal FAPE standard. 34 CFR 300.403(c), Matthew J. v. Mass. Dept. of Education , 989 F. Supp. at 387, 27 IDELR 339 at 343-344 (1998), citing Florence County School District Four v. Carter , 510 US 7, 13 (1993). Thus, a parent may be reimbursed for the costs of a unilateral placement if that placement is “appropriately responsive to [a student’s] special needs;” i.e., so that the student can benefit educationally. Matthew J. , 27 IDELR at 344. Reimbursement is an equitable remedy. The amount of reimbursement to be awarded is determined by balancing the equities; see e.g. Burlington (supra).
FAPE also entails complying with the procedural requirements of the IDEA. A school district that violates a student’s procedural rights under federal or state law may be liable where “procedural inadequacies [have] compromised the pupil’s right to an appropriate education…or caused a deprivation of educational benefits.” Roland M. v Concord Public Schools , 910 F. 2d at 994 (1 st Cir. 1990). A Hearing Officer may also find that a denial of a FAPE has occurred if a School District has significantly impeded the parent(s)’ opportunity to participate in the decision making process regarding the provision of a FAPE to the parent(s)’ child, 20 USC s. 1415 (f)(E) ii)(II).
The record shows by a preponderance of the evidence that Parent should be reimbursed for services at Kumon and transportation from school to the tutoring at state rates. Both Parties agree that the TEAM discussed Luke’s need for math tutoring, agreed that tutoring he was doing at Kumon was benefiting him and determined the amount of math tutoring that Luke needed by calculating the amount of tutoring Luke was receiving at Kumon. The Parties do dispute whether the District’s case manager who ran the meeting, Ms. Sinclair, stated that she had to ask Ms. Porcaro (the District’s Systemwide Team Chairperson) whether she could include Kumon on Luke’s IEP. However, Ms. Sinclair and the other school district team members do not dispute that when Mother asked her why she had to check with Ms. Porcaro, Ms. Sinclair said nothing. It is illogical that Mother would ask this question and that Ms. Sinclair would choose not to answer Mother’s question unless Ms. Sinclair had stated at the TEAM meeting that she could not offer Luke math tutoring at Kumon unless she first checked with an administrator.
In addition, the TEAM did not discuss any aspects of the math tutoring that it was proposing, including, who would deliver the tutoring, what the tutor would do or the qualifications of any tutor. (Mother, Sinclair, Murray, Deveau, see S2). Mother partially rejected the IEP because the IEP she received did not offer Kumon but also because the IEP did not specify any information about the math services Luke would be receiving.
The preponderance of the evidence shows that the TEAM members agreed that Luke should receive math tutoring at Kumon but were prevented from including their recommendation on Luke’s IEP because they were not allowed to make TEAM decisions for outside services without approval from the administration. Tewksbury’s actions significantly impeded Mother’s opportunity to participate in the decision making process regarding the provision of a FAPE to Luke and as such Tewksbury’s actions have denied Luke a FAPE; ( see 20 USC s. 1415 (f)(E) ii)(II). Therefore Parents will be entitled to reimbursement for Kumon because here, the services that Tewksbury offered in its IEP did not reflect the recommendations of the TEAM and were inappropriate because the IEP was incomplete. Mother has also shown that the Kumon math tutoring that Luke receives is appropriately responsive to his special needs and that he has benefited educationally; ( see Finding 12, Matthew J. , 27 IDELR at 344).
Parents shall be reimbursed for Kumon math tutoring from December 2007 to the present Parents will also be reimbursed for transportation from Luke’s school to Kumon-Tewksbury for this time period. Tewksbury will amend the IEP to reflect that math tutoring will be provided by Kumon Center in Tewksbury.
Luke is a pseudonym used for confidentiality and classification purposes in publicly available documents.
Tewksbury’s motion to exclude P4 was allowed, as the exhibit was not directly relevant to the issues concerning Luke.
The two procedural violations that Parent has identified were that the IEP did not reflect the decision of the TEAM and that the School District gave Parent incorrect information that may have led to her not accepting services on the IEP.
Mother asserts that Kumon’s testing shows that Luke is at a third grade level in math. Tewksbury believes that Luke is at grade level. However both Parties acknowledge that Luke has weaknesses in math and would benefit from math tutoring. (Mother, Murray). Luke’s math teacher and the members of Luke’s TEAM do not dispute that math tutoring should be on his IEP (Murray, Porcaro, Malatesta).
The TEAM members were Elaine Sinclair, case manager/team chairperson, Mother, Kara Murray, Luke’s 8 th grade liaison, and Katherine Deveau, Luke’s regular education science teacher ( see S1, Deveau, Sinclair, Murray).
Tutoring at Kumon is $90.00 per month (Mother).
Luke began tutoring at Kumon in August 2007. Mother is only asking for reimbursement for math tutoring beginning from December 2007 (Mother).
Ms. Murray indicates that she told Mother that Tewksbury would not be offering Kumon services. Luke’s science teacher (Ms. Deveau) does not recall anyone saying that Kumon services would be included in the IEP (Deveau).
The date Mother signed was 12/19/08 (S4). The date should have been December 19, 2007 (Mother). The TEAM meeting occurred on December 19, 2007.
This section of Ms. Porcaro’s letter was in bold print.
An extension was granted to the School District.
The math goals and objectives indicate that Luke would use whole numbers involving addition and subtraction with 80% accuracy and that Luke would solve problems that involve multiplication and division with 80% accuracy (S7).
The tutor is a certified math teacher (Porcaro). Mother objected to the tutor not because of her qualifications, but because of the timing of the tutor’s availability and the content of the tutoring proposed (Mother).
Luke’s house is approximately five miles away from the school (Mother).
Tewksbury’s Counsel’s motion to obtain the definition of slope is granted. Slope is the steepness or incline of a straight line that is drawn on a rectangular coordinate system graph. The slope of a line is defined as the vertical change (the “rise”) over the horizontal change (the “run”) as one travels along the line. The formula of a straight line is y=mx+b where m is the slope. (Mother). The formula to determine slope can be explained by Luke’s math teacher and by Mother but is not relevant to the issues in dispute and will not be explained further here.
It may be that the tutor that Tewksbury has identified could meet Luke’s needs or that a tutor could adequately service Luke during the school day, as it is unclear why the IEP indicates a longer school day. When the TEAM reconvenes in December 2008 to develop a new IEP for Luke, the TEAM may decide, and Mother, as a member of the TEAM may agree, to a change in services or the service delivery. However, unless Parents otherwise agree the stay-put placement is Kumon math tutoring.
The current state rate is 40 cents per mile; ( see 603 C.M.R. 28.07 (6), DOE memorandum Change in Mileage Reimbursement for Parents, November 29, 2005). If Mother chooses to continue to transport Luke to Kumon, Tewksbury will continue to reimburse her at the current state rate.

There's no doubt that the Samsung Galaxy S series of smartphones were the best Android handsets available, with the Galaxy S5 being the king of the hill. But the more I look at Samsung's new Galaxy S6, the more I think the company broke a winning design in order to compete with Apple's iPhone.
The Galaxy S6 might be a more modern handset, but it's debatable as to whether it is a better design.
Let's take a look at what you'll lose if you switch from the Galaxy S5 to the Galaxy S6.
Put an iPhone 6 and a Galaxy S5 side by side and they are like chalk and cheese. One is thin, sleek, glossy, beautiful, and fragile, while the other is chunky, plastic, rather utilitarian, and robust.
Now do the same, but this time replacing the Galaxy S5 for the new Galaxy S6. Now both the handsets are thin, sleek, glossy, beautiful, and very fragile.
I've seen Galaxy S5 handsets fall onto hard surfaces, skid for long distances across concrete, and even get slammed in car doors and driven over and survive pretty much unscathed. I seriously doubt that the Galaxy S6 will be able to do the same.
Gorilla Glass is strong, but at the end of the day, glass is glass.
If you're used to augmenting the internal storage in your Galaxy S handset with a spare microSD card then I have bad news for you. There is no microSD card slot on the Galaxy S6.
The Galaxy S5 could take a 128GB microSD card.
Gone is the convenience of being able to load documents and movies and whatnot onto a storage card to take with you on the road. Now everything you want to do with your handset eats into your precious (and expensive) storage.
While the Galaxy S5 wasn't something you could take scuba diving, the gaskets and seals did offer a level of waterproofing that most handsets can't offer.
Here's a video of the Galaxy S5 being put through its paces.
Alas, in the name of making the Galaxy S6 thin and light, those gaskets and seals are gone. So don't try what you see in that video on your new Galaxy S6.
Finally, let us take a few moments to pay our respects to the removable battery feature. While few carry a spare battery around with them these days, having the option was nice, and when the handset was a few years old, you could quickly and easily (not to mention cheaply) swap out the battery to bring its charge capacity up to full.

Depression is not governed by genes, according to a new study that says our environment is a major factor when it comes to being happy and that nurture can override nature.
Even when rats are bred to be a bit on the down side, they still cheer up after the rodent equivalent of psychotherapy.
The study also found that rats bred for depression and rats that were depressed due to their environment showed changes in the levels of entirely different blood markers for depression.
Being able to differentiate between the two types of depression could eventually lead to more precise treatment with medication or psychotherapy, US academics from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine said.
Their work, published on Tuesday in the Nature journal Translational Psychiatry, provides hope for people who think they might be naturally predisposed to depression due to family history and offers more hope sufferers can be treated.
Rats used in the study had been bred for depression-like behaviour for 33 generations and showed extreme despair.
The team wanted to see if they could alter the rats’ genetically caused depression by changing their environment. They took the depressed rats and put them in large cages with lots of toys to chew on and places for them to hide and climb – a “Disneyland” for rats – for one month.
After the playground psychotherapy, the rats’ depressive behaviour was dramatically reduced. They were then placed in a tank of water to see how they behaved.
The control rats swam around, looking for a way to escape whereas depressed rats simply float, showing despair behaviour. After the month in the playground, the genetically depressed rats energetically paddled around the tank, looking for an exit.
“They did not show despair,” Professor Redei said.
The scientists also found the non-depressed control group of rats, who underwent a psychologically stressful situation which involved being restrained two hours a day for two weeks, floated when placed in the tank of water and did not try to escape. After the environmental stress, some of the blood biomarkers for depression changed from non-depressed levels to levels seen in genetically depressed rats.
Professor Redei’s team now want to find out if the biomarkers actually cause behavioural changes in response to the environment, which could lead to new antidepressant medications.

If your post hole auger feels like its declining and no longer goes quite as deep as it used to or doesnt go down nearly as easily it may be time to sharpen the blades. You should try to keep all your tools sharp as this allows them to work more efficiently and last longer. Sharpening a post hole auger isn't very difficult so this is a guide on how to do it.
You should disassemble the post hole auger before you begin because the blades on a pair of post hole augers don't open very wide. All you need to do to disassemble a post hole auger is to loosen the wing-nut on the side then remove it and push out the bolt that holds the blades together.
Take one of the post hole diggers and clamp it down into a vice. You should clamp it down to look like an upside down u.
Use a high pressure spray nozzle and water hose to spray away any dirt or grime that is on the blade. Now you should use a wire brush and scrape the edges of the blade free from any debris or obstructions.
If there any damaged areas on the blade you should use a medium grit wheel angle grinder to fix this.
Once you have the blade prepared use a sharpening file to begin filing the blade. Hold the file at a 45 degree angle and slide the file back and forth in a front to rear motion. Continue doing this across the entire surface of the blade. From time to time check the blade to make sure it has been completed properly.
After this all you have to do is reassemble the blade.

text: A novel pseudophysical compartment model describing the solids transport within a case-study cocurrent industrial rotary dryer is presented. The model is novel and distinctive because it combines both multiscale partial differential equation and ordinary differential equation modeling techniques to represent the five separate sections occurring within the dryer, including both flighted and unflighted sections. The solid phase in the unflighted sections was modeled as an axial dispersed plug flow system. The solid transport in the flighted sections was partitioned into the usual series–parallel formulation of well-mixed tanks representing airborne and flight-borne solids. Parameter values and compartment numbers were estimated using mechanistic geometric modeling, dryer design loading constraints, and solids flow properties. Geometric modeling enabled the effects of internal scaling arising from solid materials sticking to the internal walls of the dryer to be accounted for in a realistic manner. Industrial residence time distribution data were collected for a range of operational scenarios and were used to estimate the remaining model parameters (axial dispersion coefficient and kilning velocity). The model results were well-matched to the collected set of industrial residence time distributions (RTDs), and estimated parameter values were within expected limits. The axial dispersion coefficient and kilning velocity were modeled as functions of operating variables in order to fully embed physical realism into the compartment model, and new correlations are presented. The effect of operating conditions on RTDs and solids distribution within the dryer was investigated. The results matched past observations and provide insights into dryer efficiency.

While the cloud makes setting up servers simple, it complicates matters significantly for managing users. IT pros have been managing users within an organization for decades. With Microsoft’s Active Directory (AD) or OpenLDAP, the management of users is straightforward on premises and consistent on a day-to-day basis. That is, it’s largely manageable if you are just Windows, but unmanageable in a mixed-platform environment. The challenge has been the difficulty of setting up and managing AD, which is clearly an enterprise-scale solution. The cloud has introduced a whole new paradigm with extreme speed, elasticity, and automation, rendering existing methods of identity management largely useless.
The cloud is built for speed and agility with the ability to burst up and tear down instances in seconds and based on automated inputs such as application load or traffic. The old school directory services model was not built for the rapid changes possible in the cloud. Steps in user management were deliberate and manual. Admins can no longer be involved in every step. They need identity management systems that can handle the scale and dynamic nature of the cloud.
With users and IT resources potentially all around the world, what directory service do they talk to? And how can they be kept secure? Many companies utilizing the cloud are using Google Apps and/or Microsoft Office 365. Neither Google Apps, nor Office 365, nor Microsoft’s Active Directory, the leading on-premises directory service, inherently support creating user accounts across cloud servers at, say, AWS or Digital Ocean.
While Google Apps can be utilized as a user data store, any of that connective code needs to be provided by the organization to have those users populated on a server. Active Directory or LDAP is a little easier. However, the complexity of running central directory services across multiple clouds makes it a non-starter in a multi-cloud environment. Most organizations have just opted to manually recreate their users on servers or within another tool rather than trying to integrate Google Apps / Office 365 or AD / OpenLDAP. This lack of integration is a significant loss of productivity for DevOps and IT pros.
The days of geographic centralization and a homogeneous platform are long gone. Today, cloud servers can be placed anywhere in the world. Sometimes, organizations have little control over where the cloud provider places their server. Further, Linux has grown exponentially over the years as a cost-effective server platform. Consequently, organizations are no longer reliant on solely Microsoft solutions. The variability in providers and platforms adds another dimension of complexity to the directory services equation. In addition, your authentication infrastructure needs to be as cloud-scalable as the rest of your environment. Accomplishing that is very expensive and requires highly specialized skills.
The largely forgotten step of user management, monitoring of user access, is made all the more difficult with cloud servers. With servers in any number of locations, different platforms, and ephemeral instances, how do admins collect all of the user logs, centralize them, and then analyze the results? Even if they are able to do that, how will they be able to accurately detect real compromises from false alarms if they have a mobile workforce?
The cloud has effectively blown up the standard operating models of user management. Drop us a note to learn more about how Directory-as-a-Service® from JumpCloud® can solve your user management issues in the cloud.

It’s January 1995, and Franny Banks has just six months left of the three-year deadline she set for herself when she came to New York, dreaming of Broadway and doing “important” work. But all she has to show for her efforts so far is a part in an ad for ugly Christmas sweaters, and a gig waiting tables at a comedy club. Her roommates?her best friend Jane, and Dan, an aspiring sci-fi writer?are supportive, yet Franny knows a two-person fan club doesn’t exactly count as success. Everyone tells her she needs a backup plan, and though she can almost picture moving back home and settling down with her perfectly nice ex-boyfriend, she’s not ready to give up on her goal of having a career like her idols Diane Keaton and Meryl Streep. Not just yet. But while she dreams of filling their shoes, in the meantime, she’d happily settle for a speaking part in almost anything—and finding a hair product combination that works.
Charming, heartwarming and full of humor, Someday, Someday Maybe is about the joys and struggles of being young and carefree in a big city. Its about believing in the beauty of dreams and chasing them without losing hope. Its a story about making mistakes – in life and in relationships but knowing when to hold on and when to let go.
Franny Banks, the twenty something protagonist has always dreamed of being an actress. After finishing college she comes to New York giving herself a three-year deadline to make a career out of acting. However, since time flies, its January 1995 and only six months are left of the deadline Franny set for herself. Her achievements so far include one advertisement for bulky, ugly Christmas sweaters. A part- time waitressing job at one of the many comedy clubs makes it possible for her to pay the bills, and barely so. But quitting, is the last thing on Franny’s mind and for some inexplicable reason she believes that everything will fall into place and all her dreams will come true.
The beginning of the book was a tad bit slow, as in there was little to no movement in the storyline, but Lauren Graham’s witty, entertaining narration totally makes up for it. Franny is delightful, even if a bit quirky and oh so human. She has her flaws and insecurities but that doesn’t stop her from being absolutely determined to follow her dreams and draw crazily optimistic conclusions for auditions gone wrong because after all she knows she is talented. Franny is warm and fierce with an amusing self-deprecating humor. She also possesses an unavoidable need for external validation, a not-so-good quality of hers that she is well aware of and constantly working on.
I must work harder to achieve my goal of not seeking approval from those whose approval I’m not even sure is important to me.
Her roommates are both solidly developed characters as well – the sassy best-friend from school, Jane and the brooding, slightly nerdy struggling sci-fi writer Dan, both of whom are always supportive to Franny’s acting career. Along with these there are plenty of other interesting individuals in the story, a delicate and full-of-herself talented actress in class, another successful and very handsome classmate who is totally crush-worthy, strange agents and an even stranger audition crowd.
Even though the plot is fairly predictable, Someday, Someday Maybe is a sweet, funny and hopeful story, an amusing and enjoyable read that has several relatable laugh-out-loud moments and a gentle message, that if you want something deeply, desperately enough, you’re bound to get it someday. A lovely book to spend an afternoon with, for readers who enjoy contemporaries.

March 26 (Reuters) - Kikkan Randall, who last year helped the United States win their first Olympic cross-country skiing title, said on Tuesday that she believed she was cancer free after finishing treatment for stage two breast cancer a month ago.
"I am cancer free as far as we know," the now retired Randall said in an interview with NBC News' 3rd Hour of TODAY.
"It was a totally crazy adventure, I mean the absolute opposite of what I expected coming off the gold medal, but it's amazing how quickly my athlete frame of mind took over and I just knew this was going to be my latest challenge."
Randall, 36, and team mate Jessie Diggins stunned the field in South Korea when they overtook more heralded teams in the women's team sprint relay in the final stretch.
"I realised I didn't want to get to the end of my career and look back and think, 'Wow I never said anything that mattered,'" said Diggins, who is a spokesperson for The Emily Program, which helps treat eating disorders.
"I just realised that there are so many other people who are struggling with eating disorders in the U.S. and all around the world. And I just wanted to share, 'Hey this happened to me and I went and got help'," she said.

Much of this book deals with political science, and it shows the change which is beginning to take place in Wordsworth's political philosophy. In particular, it features the poet's account of his struggle to find a middle road between the sanguine radicalism of the revolutionary movement in France and the timidity, hesitancy, and slowness of liberal reform in England.
The Terror is over in France. There is very little in the scene to encourage the idealist; nevertheless, the poet is optimistic. The government and senate seem ineffectual, but Wordsworth's hope is in the people. He scoffs at what he considers the futile attempts of British conservatives to stem the tide of progress and reform. He calls them deluded who prophesy disaster wherever the republican cause is not turned back. But he cautions that as a liberal, he bent over backward and endorsed unsound notions simply because the conservatives denounced them. He takes to task the statesmen of Britain for using the law to suit their own ends and thereby wiping out that precious liberty it had taken centuries to acquire.
The poet sees the world as virginal and capable of being shaped to his own image of what things should be. When people made mistakes, he was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt because he believed the end would soon justify the means. But his attitude changed when Britain went to war with France. His hopes sank even further when France turned from self-defense to aggression and oppression. All that remained were his bare hopes and his old beliefs.
For some time Wordsworth had been studying the doctrines of Godwin and trying to put the rationalism preached by him into practice. This course has not, however, satisfied the deep need for feeling that the poet has. But he reaffirms his anticipation of the working of the passions once more through reason and the building by humanity of "social upon personal Liberty." His expectation is that man will rise to great heights and yet not sacrifice his basic nature.
Instead of trying to divert himself through simple pleasures, he turned to even more complicated study. He says it was his sister Dorothy who kept alive his faith in himself by the constant reminder that his basic feelings had not changed, but merely broadened. It was she who finally convinced him he was by nature a poet. He and Dorothy began long walking trips at this time, and it was the getting back amid natural surroundings that restored in him "those sweet counsels between head and heart" that make for a balanced outlook.
He refers sorrowfully to Coleridge's illness, which has driven him away from England to warmer climates. He speaks of his missing Coleridge and prays for his recovery.
He tells us that as a child he dreamed of Sicily, without ever having seen it. Thinking of Sicilian seas and vales, his spirit brightens; the thought of her great poets and thinkers of antiquity gladdens him. In an imaginary setting which evokes the rich symbols of the classical landscape, the poet sees Coleridge disguised as one of the poets of antiquity. He sees him drinking inspiration at the fountain of Arethuse (or some other) — a devoted disciple of the Muses, not a prisoner in exile.

What is a Vedic Astrologer?
If you have ever thought that there is more to your life than meets the eye, you may be interested in learning about the invisible, yet powerful forces of Vedic Astrology by working with a Vedic Astrologer.
A Vedic Astrologer is someone who practices Vedic Astrology (also known as Hindu astrology) which is a branch of science that studies the relationship between people’s lives and their karma by determining the exact locations of planets at specific times during a person’s life.
In Sanskrit, the ancient language of Hinduism, Vedic Astrology is also known as Jyotish which is translated to “the science of light”. A Vedic Astrologer can look carefully at the cosmic influences in your life and see where your strengths, challenges and ultimately your full potential lies. This powerful tool can assist you in moving forward and providing guidance in your life.
What is the Difference Between a Western and Vedic Astrologer?
You’ve probably read your horoscope on the way to work and are most likely familiar with Western Astrology. The basis of Western Astrology is that the year is divided into twelve sections or constellations. Ultimately, every person has a zodiac sign associated with their birthday(Virgo, Leo, Taurus, etc).
The Western Astrologer, a person who uses these signs to make predictions about your life, uses this information to talk about specific personality traits and past, present and future life events.
Western Astrologers take a more psychological approach when giving an individual their reading. This is the most common form of astrology seen in the West.
The purpose of Vedic Astrology is for people to regain their connection to the divine and to understand that we are souls having a human experience. The planets in Vedic Astrology are viewed as the Karmas of the soul. As we move from one life to another we bring the alignment of certain planets with us and leave others behind.
To read your Vedic Chart, a Vedic Astrologer will ask for the following details: your birth time (as specific as possible), your name as well as the city that you were born in. From this, they will create your “natal” or birth chart. This will allow them to have a look at which planets are dominating certain areas of your chart (career, health, partnership, etc.) to give you more insight about the purpose of the current life you are living.
The basis of Vedic Astrology is that we are souls that continue to experience many lives (or reincarnate) at very specific times and places to embark on a unique journey in each lifetime. We continue to reincarnate so we can balance our karma from previous lives.
The Law of Karma is that for every intentional action, there is a result. It focuses on understanding the cycle between cause and effect. The goal in each lifetime is to work towards balancing our karma until the cycle of reincarnation is complete.

Style Manager: web interface for creating and editing a branded style of a publication (module grid, text and color styles, icons, etc.). You can find it at editor.setka.io.
Post: HTML code of the post wrapped in
...
.
Post style: a set of CSS rules for text styles, fonts, colors, dividers, etc. which determines a branded style of a publication. Post style is edited in Style Manager.
Post grid system: a set of CSS rules for building grid modules with columns and indents, and for adaptation to mobile devices. Post grid system is edited in Style Manager.
All styles and grid systems within one company are uploaded from Style Manager to CDN in the form of a CSS file with styles and a JSON file with meta information to be used in the editor.
Editor requires 5 files to operate properly. These files need to be loaded in the post editing and/or view pages.
Below is a sample code for initialization the editor.
Accordingly, all these parameters are to be saved in the database.
Important: you should not receive content from the editor by accessing DOM elements on the page because they contain temporary elements and attributes that are required only when working in the editor and should not remain in the saved HTML code of the post. Always use the SetkaEditor.getHTML() method.
To open an existing post in the editor, you are to call up the SetkaEditor.replaceHTML method upon completion of initialization of the editor.
Important: Setka Editor works with its own HTML code structure. The post must be in a
...
 container and must contain elements with specific classes and attributes. “Alien” elements may become non-editable or to cause an error when starting the editor. There is no point in trying to open posts in Setka Editor created in another editor or manually.
In order for Setka Editor to upload images to your server, you need to write a REST API that will process requests from the editor and perform appropriate actions on the backend side.
First, you need to provide the path to REST API root when starting the editor.
(for example, the authorization token or the post id).
REST API must be able to receive and process the following requests (see below). The editor handles the “200” response status code as success of an operation and any other status codes as an error.
*Since version 1.17.3 Setka Editor saves snippets directly to Style Manager by means of API with public token.
To start the editor with a specific set of pictures in the right panel (for example, uploaded previously to a saved post), you need to pass them to the "assets" array when starting the editor in a specific format.

The “road” I was riding my bike on.
Seriously, the Roma king passed away last night in Turkey. He was from Sibiu which means his body along with 250,000 Roma ( read gypsies) are coming to Sibiu for his funeral in the next couple of days. I am leaving tomorrow so I will probably miss most of the craziness.
I am still having a blast. A lot of my plans seem to be falling in place except some of the “minor” details of Maramures (like how to get from Sighet to Botiza, 60km, where there really isn’t any public transportation). I wrote the last couple of sentences a couple hours ago and then had a minor freak out about my upcoming trip to Maramures.
There are a lot of unanswered questions that I have that are rather important like how I am going to get around, where exactly I am staying, and that people probably won’t speak a lot of English since the young move away because there aren’t jobs and most of the elderly speak minimal to no English (French and German are more common). I think that my traveling people skills have increased since I started traveling a couple years ago. When I started traveling a couple years ago, I don’t think I would come up to a table of people speaking English and ask if I could join them. I have done that a couple times this trip.
Today I rented an old rigid mountain bike with probably 35-38mm tires and went for a ride. Using cached google earth data I made a loop of 3 villages. The challenging portion of the loop was at times no more than a semi worn tractor path, but after a couple wrong turns I ended up in my intended town. Along the way I stopped at a 15th century church fortified with walls on top of a hill, a couple Saxon fortified churches (they used them as the defensive points in the towns), end this really odd church that I have included pictures of. I saw a man using a scythe and it was the classical image that you would imagine: a 40 year old, straw hat, 3 days of stubble over a sharp jaw line, a half often faded blue button up shirt, blue jeans, with a content non stressed look on his face. While on my ride, before I even left town I got turned around and a guy stopped his car and asked if I was lost. It is that type of hospitality that I really haven’t found to this extent in other places I have traveled.
I honestly don’t know when the next time I will be online after tomorrow. I don’t think I will have Internet in Maramures so there is a chance the next time will be when I am at the Heathrow airport.

I can’t believe you would miss the funeral for the Roma King! That would be a sight to see.

I won't stop until Fiona Cassidy is safe in my arms.
I was an MMA champion until a sucker punch from a sadistic opponent ended my career for good. Turned out the joke was on him. Today I'm the millionaire owner of a company that puts on MMA fights all over the world and he's a lousy bodyguard, working for the one guy on earth besides him that I truly can't stand, that piece of crap SOB, Kyle Cassidy.
I have everything a man could wish for. I'm young, rich, good looking, with the body of an MMA champ and the s*xual appetites of a Greek god. Women are drawn to me like moths to a flame.
Then I meet her, Fiona, the tall blond who hypnotizes me with her eyes and mesmerizes me with her body. She makes me feel things no other woman has ever done. In bed, she rocks me like a punch to head and leaves me flat on my back begging for more.
But she has a secret, something she isn't telling me, and when I discover what that secret is, people are going to get hurt. Some who deserve it, some who do not.
Either way, I'm willing to fight for the woman I love, even if it turns my brain and heart to mush.
