Comprehensive electronic health records are critical to healthcare today. Healthcare providers, physicians and clinical staff members utilize EHR tools to interact with patients' health data and other key data elements. Before purchasing an EHR product, IT buyers must understand exactly what these products do and how they benefit their healthcare organization.
EHR software captures, tracks and manages patient data. This can include general patient demographics information, vitals, lab orders, medication, problem list, lab results, medical and social history forms, progress notes and referral letters. The purpose of an EHR is to centralize patient data, making it easier for healthcare workers to review a patient's record prior to or during their visit.
In 2016, a HealthIT.gov study found that over 95% of eligible hospitals have demonstrated meaningful use of certified health IT under the Affordable Care Act. But despite the widespread use of EHRs, these products can be complex and possess a wide range of capabilities that differ from vendor to vendor.
There are typically two types of EHR tools. The first type targets small- to medium-sized medical facilities such as primary care offices, walk-in clinics or urgent care clinics that have about five to 300 employees. The second group is geared toward small, midsize or large hospitals that typically require more extensive systems to manage more complex data, including medical imaging, labs, nutrition, pharmacy and emergency medicine. The two EHR tools are significantly different from one another and they both have a different set of features, infrastructure requirements, clinical workflows, training, and overall implementation process. So for the EHR buyers, making this distinction early in the buying process is the first step in determining which platform is a fit for them.
The purpose of an EHR is to centralize patient data, making it easier for healthcare workers to review a patient's record prior to or during their visit.
For the outpatient environment, the suitable EHR software typically tracks the patient health records over a longer period of time. The system captures patient data and documents it as part of the patient record. During these patient-doctor interactions, the physician usually has a template that they can customize to fit the type of visit and the workflow. This EHR software generally focuses on tracking the patient over longer periods, offers limited integrations with external systems like medical imaging and, lastly, typically offer comprehensive billing, scheduling and medical records all in one platform. These products also tend to not require complex infrastructure -- just a database server and an application server. AthenaHealth, Allscripts, eClinicalWorks, NextGen and eMD are some popular EHR platforms for these non-hospital settings.
The second type of EHR software that is common in inpatient settings captures medical records documentation from across multiple departments like imaging, nursing, nutrition, physical therapy, ER and hospital pharmacy. In order to support data from all those different departments in a hospital environment, this EHR platform must support the integration between different systems or offer functionality for those departments to natively integrate. These systems also require more robust infrastructure to support the increased data sets and number of users. Cerner, McKesson and Epic are some EHR tools notably common in hospital settings.
A number of EHR vendors acquired other products with billing and scheduling applications, due in large part to physician demand for an all-encompassing platform. Currently, the majority of EHR products are available as one stand-alone package. In a hospital environment, things can get complicated since there is a need for more than one or two applications. Different hospital departments require different products and some EHR vendors offer add-on products to address this. Some hospital buyers ultimately purchase the leading products and build software integrations between them.
With the increase in smartphone use and the need for more patient engagement, EHR vendors have begun to introduce web and mobile-based access for both patients and providers. For physicians, the flexibility of using a mobile app to review patient records or take notes provides immediate accessibility to records and eliminates the need for them to stay late in the office completing paperwork. If doctors can do this work on the go without having to log in to a workstation, it streamlines processes and frees doctors to focus more on the patient while still allowing them to review patient charts at any time. This can also improve clinical documentation because physicians are able to complete clinical progress notes on the spot while it is still fresh in their minds, reducing chart inaccuracies and potential medical errors. For patients, a web portal provides them with easy access to their health data at any time of day.
Buyers must also consider a product's current certification designation, which is awarded from federally authorized, third-party certification groups. This is especially important for healthcare organizations with a significant number of Medicare or Medicaid patients. Without a certified EHR technology (CEHRT) system, a company can face Medicare payment cuts and loss of Medicaid incentives. The certification requires EHR vendors to meet a number of requirements involving security and interoperability. Unfortunately, not all EHR tools meet those requirements. But for medical groups that have a small number of Medicare and Medicaid patients, this feature isn't as important as it is for large healthcare orgs that rely on Medicare and Medicaid patient payments.
Most EHR applications are available in two distinct models. The first model, which was available before cloud use became prevalent, requires the applications to run in a client-server mode where all the data is stored in a local server. This implementation does require some investments in hardware and is more expensive upfront, but it may be a more secure option. Many providers are still hesitant to entrust third-party cloud providers to manage the security of sensitive patient data. The second model is the SaaS model.
When it comes to accessing patient data, buyers must consider ease of remote access, flexibility and the mobility that prospective EHR vendors can offer. Using a platform without mobile access is a drawback for health organizations as it reduces timely access to patient data during care episodes, as well as access to the system for when workers need to record or update data quickly. The value proposition is that employees such as physicians and nurses interacting with the EHR can be more efficient by having access to information at their fingertips. Today, most innovators in the EHR market have opted to provide pure cloud offerings and native web-based platforms instead of the traditional client-based model. Some examples include AthenaHealth, Practice Fusion and DrChrono. Another key capability that all cloud-based EHR platforms offer is mobility. A mobile EHR vendor should have an app available for both tablets and smartphones to facilitate access to patient data remotely.
There are a wide variety of pricing models available from EHR vendors. Despite the clear push for a SaaS pricing model or subscription-based licensing where a healthcare group pays per user per month, some EHR vendors still rely on the traditional pricing structure. In this pricing structure, vendors charge for the EHR tools based on the number of physicians, which is added to the annual costs for support and maintenance. Buyers should note that the marketplace is moving more toward the subscription model since it offers more flexibility and organizations can scale up and down as needed without as many upfront costs.
Some specialty departments like nephrology, orthopedics or gastroenterology may opt to purchase and implement an EHR platform designed for patients with specific conditions. Products like NephroChoice and gGastro Suite by gMed offer features that are specific to those specialties and are appealing to physicians because they can track things that are specific to their specialty like dialysis for nephrology specialty that most generic EHR tools cannot without extra customization and programming.
The more established vendors like Allscripts, eClinicalWorks, NextGen, Practice Fusion, AthenaHealth, GE Centricity and Greenway are continuing to evolve. For the inpatient side, many of the popular names include Cerner, Allscripts, CPSI, Epic and Meditech.
During product evaluation, buyers can access a number of resources that rate the different EHR tools in the market. Some of these online sites include Capterra, Klas, Software Advice and Medscape. They generally offer insights and comparisons of the different products available to help buyers with their selection process. Some of them rely on physician surveys and others use consultants to evaluate the products. EHR ranking sites are a great starting point for anyone looking to evaluate some of the options available online, but buyers should be mindful that there are a number of newcomers to the market that can potentially shift the EHR vendor landscape in the future.
Since the EHR marketplace offers plenty of options to choose from, buyers should ensure that they understand the differences available in the packages and what options would suit their organization.

I've got an HTC one. Is it worth upgrading to android 4.3 considering the known issues sprint customers have been having or just stay with 4.1.2.
Honestly, I'd wait if I were you. There are no major improvements, and the issues that exist are kind of a pain.
I'm staying on 4.1 for now! Back when I had my 3vo I upgraded and that phone never ran the same again. Until I can do everything on 4.3 I'm doing on 4.1 I'm not upgrading.
No sure what issues you are referring to, but I haven't had any issues. 4.3 is buttery smooth and is even faster. I love the quick toggles and the removal of the black menu bar at the bottom of some apps. My only issue with Sprint is that I wish they would move faster on their 4G LTE rollout! I recommend you update.
Updated to 4.3 and I must say it's even smoother than before. I'm running ecliptic 4.3 and it's pretty much flawless. Battery life isn't quite as good, but I was running a different kernel than stock on 4.1.2.
No major improvements???? you have no idea what 4.3 is bring to HTC One.
there are tons of speed and performance improvements.
I don't think there is that many improvements either and it is a bit buggy.
I went back to 4.1.2 due to the more efficient battery life. 4.3 didn't impress me as much as I thought it would. I'll probably stay on this version until kernel source is released.
If you waited for an operating system devoid of bugs, you'd never download one at all.
I have updated, and did a factory reset. It was my opinion based on my experience. Also, there are several Sprint One owners complaining about the same issues on Sprint's One Forum. Granted, there are some who haven't had the same issues, but if I were to go back in time, I would wait for a few weeks to see if there was a patch in the works.
For me, the updated OS doesn't do a lot that offsets the issues I have.
Can a person using the HTC One, perhaps with the 4.3 update, receive emails over wifi simultaneously while connected to voice (phone conversation) as I always could with the HTC EVO 4G LTE?
I was led to believe this "simultaneous mode" restriction may be a hardware issue.
That was one of the primary issues holding me back from upgrading to One from EVO except for the dedicated camera button and kickstand. Perhaps I just wait for the upcoming 4.3 Sense 5 update and continue enjoying my phenomenal EVO LTE.
I jumped the gun and downloaded it, install was easy but ever since the camera has been jacked up, it's not focusing properly and some low light shots are people and grainy, the Wi-Fi and 3G drop constantly for no reason. However, it is a bit faster and behaves alright.

George Britton, Synnl/Jve Liaaen-Jensen and Hanspeter Pfander This e-book, quantity 2 within the sequence Carotenoids, is the 1st booklet to be released that's dedicated completely to the whole synthesis of carotenoids, however it is well timed in view of the quick improvement and the growing to be diversification of the carotenoid box. The 1971 Carotenoids ebook contained an enormous bankruptcy of 250 pages on overall synthesis by way of H. Mayer and O. Isler. That accomplished and authoritative evaluation defined systematically the development of many synthons and the synthesis of many normal and unnatural carotenoids and comparable compounds. Twenty 5 years on, that bankruptcy is still a vital reference paintings and resource of data, with its vast choice of tabulated information and lists of references to the unique literature. Surveys of growth given that 1971 were provided on the IUPAC foreign Symposia on Carotenoids and are incorporated within the released lawsuits of those symposia. The background of significant courses within the carotenoid box, resulting in the advance of this sequence, used to be defined within the preface to the sequence released in Vol. IA. the overall philo sophy defined in that preface, with emphasis on sensible assistance and the inclusion of labored examples of a few of the main invaluable techniques, is maintained in Vol. 2. In kceping with this philosophy, Vol. 2 isn't meant to be an exhaustive assessment of the literature, yet is deliberate as a pragmatic ebook, in addition to a resource of information.

I bought these gummy worms last year for the candy buffet at my daughter's October wedding. The flavors are perfect !! These combined with the gummy pumpkins were a big hit ! They went really fast . With the other brand Haribo , it's really difficult to identify the flavor of their gummies . With Albanese gummies you will not have that problem . Each flavor is true to it's fruit.... they are wonderful !!
As with all Albanese gummies, these are bursting with flavor. The flavors blend nicely together but still maintain their own unique and vibrant taste. These, along with the pumpkin gummies and the spooktacular gummies, are being used for some Halloween goodie bags and everyone is excited! Will definitely be buying again next year!

Affiliate programs and JV partnerships are not just for individuals or small companies. There are benefits that larger, established businesses can also gain from them. If your company is looking for ways to increase their bottom line, this is a viable option that can yield really good results when done properly.
When a company participates in another company’s affiliate program, this tells the customers that the company supports the one they are an affiliate for. Because of this endorsement, it is very important that a company wisely choose the companies, products, and services to become affiliates of.
Affiliating for a less than stellar product or service can reflect badly on your company so choose with care and do research first.
Provides Additional Revenue – If your business is looking for ways to increase the bottom line and bring in more revenue, being an affiliate is one way this can be accomplished. Because your business is the one promoting this other product, service or company, it is imperative that you choose excellent, high quality products and services to affiliate for. Choosing the wrong one can make your business take a hit and that is not something you want to do.
Adds to Your Company’s Offerings – Having great affiliate products to offer your existing customers means that you have expanded what they can get from you and that means more revenue for your business. If you’ve built a good relationship with your customer base, they will trust your judgment and endorsement and more than likely purchase that product because you suggested it.
You Can Set Your Own Marketing and Income Goals – When a company chooses to become an affiliate of another product or company, it does not mean they become partners with that company, per se. They can still set their own marketing goals and income goals related to their chosen affiliate products and services. This can lead to increased productivity in the workplace and even add to your company’s incentives for your own employees.
Once you’ve decided to add affiliating for another product or service to your business’s income streams, there are a few things to remember that will make this additional means of increasing your bottom line a great experience for your company.
Take Some Time to Find the Right Product – The product or products you decide to become an affiliate for need to be those that you will be proud to have your company name attached to. Do the proper research on the product, the company, and most importantly, try the product out yourself. When you actually have the product in your hand, even if it is a digital product, you will know just what you are marketing and promoting and it will give your affiliate marketing efforts total credibility as well.
Pick and Choose What You Become an Affiliate For – One of the things you will be doing is sharing your affiliate products with your own customers and email lists. You don’t want to have a new product every other day. You will only succeed in irritating your customers and losing credibility, as they will think you are always pushing the next best thing.
Continue to add value to your customers by introducing your affiliate products once in a while, not constantly. Give them the same excellent information you always have and when you DO recommend an affiliate product to them, their response rate will be very favorable.
Look For Affiliate Products That Enhance YOUR Product or Service – Ideally you will look for affiliate products that enhance your own products or services in some way. Whether the connection is direct or indirect, having it be a supporting product that is relevant to what you provide encourages customer trust in both your product and the affiliate product you are promoting.
If you can’t find something that is closely related in some way, look for the indirect connections and go with those. Don’t affiliate for companies that sell the same product or service you do. Affiliating is not about competing with your own business, it’s about enhancing it.
Make Sure the Company is Reputable – It does not benefit your company in any way to affiliate for a product or service when the company doesn’t support their affiliates…or pay them. The whole reason you added affiliating to your business income streams is to make money. There are a lot of scams out there, so ensuring that the companies you affiliate for are legitimate and good to their affiliates protects your company’s name and its time.
These are just a few of the many benefits and tips to being an affiliate for another product or service or entering a JV partnership. The main things to take away from this are that both can provide excellent revenue streams that your company did not have before, which will increase your bottom line without large amounts of expense on your company’s part.
Never jump into a JV partnership or an affiliate program without doing your research. It’s your company’s name out there as well and you want the choices you make to enhance and increase your own company’s standing with your existing customers and the new customers you acquire through these avenues as well.

To assist learning in this applied sociology module, it will be important for students to gain some practical experience of applying sociological skills and knowledge. Indeed, this may be the means by which many of the learning outcomes identified in the earlier sections (knowledge, skills, employment, careers and ethics) are achieved.
Thus practical activities can enable students to explore the application of theory and concepts in practice, for example demonstrating the ways that social and cultural factors link individual experience to the public domain of events, while grounding their activities in theory. They will give students an opportunity to try out skills developed earlier in their degree. Finally, a practical component will supply the means to reflect on the practice of applied sociological work, to deepen their understanding of work as sociological practitioners, and thus help students to gain insight into what it means to do applied sociology.
In addition, practical activities should allow the students – and the organisations and communities with which they engage – opportunities to develop their understanding of what sociology can offer; to demonstrate the insights and facility that a sociological practitioner and sociological knowledge can provide; and to enable insight into both the limits and opportunities of the sociological imagination in applied contexts.
Though students may gain practical or research experience elsewhere during their sociology degree, the focus here should be firmly upon doing ‘applied sociology’ in non-academic settings. Precisely how a practical element to this module may be achieved will depend upon the resources available, geographical and other environmental considerations, connections between a department and its community, and other circumstances specific to a particular department and university. Models range from classroom activities (for instance, small teams working on a problem together, role playing etc) to visits or extended placements/internships in local organisations or companies, where students will have an opportunity to develop their skills and knowledge in relation to problems or situations in ‘real world’ settings.
There are some spin-off advantages to use of placements. Students will be exposed to a non-academic workplace, gaining insight into an industry, company or organisation. This will assist students to experience an area of work; to help them to build a professional network; and to experience first-hand some of the issues in applied sociology work, in order to inform their future career planning.
We offer a number of suggestions for how a practical element might be achieved in the Learning and Teaching Activities section below, while the Assessment section suggests means to assess the practice component.
N.B. The learning outcomes for this element of the curriculum should be read in conjunction with those for previous sections, as they address the practical application of the knowledge and skills set out in these elements. In addition there are some process outcomes specific to this component.
P1 Apply a range of sociological concepts, theories and methods to an applied problem or situation, and use these to suggest resolutions. See Annex A for a list of sociological concepts, perspectives and theories.
P2 Demonstrate their application of a range of transferable and professional skills to address an applied problem or situation. See Annex B for a list of relevant skills.
P3 Give examples of the practical application of ethical issues in the practitioner/client relationship, and more generally concerning confidentiality, privacy and information governance in applied sociological work.
P4 Give examples of legal issues in applied sociological work, for example concerning human rights, employment rights, equality and diversity, citizenship.
P5 Gain knowledge, insight and understanding of a particular industry, service, organisation or social community.
P6 Explore and reflect upon their own role and identity as sociological practitioners, and upon the value of sociology as an applied discipline.
P7 Build a personal network relevant to work as an applied sociologist, and identify and perhaps join relevant communities of practice.

You don’t need tennis courts to play – it can be played in school halls, playgrounds or sports halls and a range of adapted equipment and modified or alternative versions of the game are available.
All schools can give children access to tennis on a playground, in a school hall or on a court and it is at school that most children have their first experience of tennis. To further provide pupils with access to coaching and other tennis support and facilities, schools can build a link with a local club, this not only benefits the pupils but also the schools, clubs and coaches involved.
Schools that have built links with clubs have reported improved attitude, behaviour, achievement and confidence from the children and young people involved. School Club links enable schools to boost their profiles in the community and run clubs out of regular school hours to benefit pupils and their parents.
Linking with a school enables clubs to grow their membership base and increase their income. Schools can also provide clubs with younger volunteers to run competitions and other activities. Working with a school also enables clubs to increase their profile and reputation.
Coaching in schools enables coaches to grow their business. Schools coaches also get the opportunity to inspire kids and help them with their first steps to become the champions of the future. Encouraging their club to build a link with a school can help coaches play a key role in the growth of their club’s membership and give them more influence in the running of their club.

When her people cannot work together, one cunning queen finds a way to teach them how. The Augusta University Literacy Center will present “Stone Soup,” the classic fable about sharing and cooperation, on Sept. 23 at the Maxwell Performing Arts Theater.
In the play, a benevolent ruler notices some of her subjects growing stingy with one another, and tricks them into sharing their food through disguise and a series of hilarious situations. By working together, with everyone contributing what they can, the town is transformed. The engaging stories in this and other plays presented by the center are another way to promote love and interest in literature and reading. This year, the literacy center has partnered with Porkchop Productions to bring a series of plays to life for children from across the CSRA, with the purpose of improving literacy.

Cosmetology Insurance Illinois. Cosmetology is a vast field that encompasses a number of professions, each of which has its own unique needs for high-quality liability insurance and other types of business insurance. If you work for yourself as an independent salon owner or work for someone else in a hair, nail, or medi spa, then you need to protect your finances with the right type of level of coverage.
While you may be adept at finding the right hairstyle for your clients or recommending the appropriate wrinkle reduction program for a customer, the truth is that you need the help of a trusted agent to find the right cosmetology insurance Illinois for your business.
Cosmetology insurance Illinois protects your business from lawsuits with rates as low as $57/mo. Get a fast quote and your certificate of insurance now.
While obtaining licensing and training for your profession is a given, many people do not understand that to operate a successful business of any type, including a salon, you must have liability insurance and cosmetology insurance Illinois coverage.
Without this type of insurance, you are held responsible for any property damage, bodily injury, or accident you might cause or be party to. What's more, you also must pay the cost for defending yourself in court, even if a judge or jury doesn't ultimately award the claimant the money she seeks. Any settlement awarded is your responsibility. With the right IL coverage in place, you can set aside worries of paying for claims against you and concentrate on operating your business.
Most cosmetologists should purchase (at minimum) a good IL general liability policy. This type of coverage kicks in to pay for things such as damages due to slips and falls or property damage claims. For instance, if you give a client a treatment that ends up harming the client, then you might be held responsible for paying any medical costs associated with the treatment.
If cosmetology insurance Illinois is in place, you just file a claim with the insurer to cover the costs. Moreover, if you damage a client's property while making a house call in IL to provide services, then your company is not held accountable; your insurance pays the claim. In another scenario, if a hairdresser working at your salon damages your flooring by spilling a chemical, then your policy can pay for the repairs.
Your personal risk tolerance and the amount of assets you must protect play apart in determining the amount of cosmetology insurance Illinois coverage you need to fully protect yourself.

The new version of the Laco Aachen 861690 model now features a scratch resistant sapphire crystal (only a diamond can scratch it). The 42mm case design houses a Laco 21 automatic (self-winding) movement. The Aachen model has a black Type B (or bomber) dial with large minutes. The hands and dial markers are treated with SuperLuminova for excellent readability in the dark. Like the original WWII Laco watches, there is no date window. Includes a really nice brown leather strap with rivets like those used in WWII.
Not only a great place to shop but also concierge service with quick and professional responses from Marc to my questions. Many thanks!
The watch is excellent and the service from Long Island Watch was outstanding. There was an issue that Marc couldn’t have foreseen and he dealt with it promptly and with integrity. I highly recommend LIW as a trusted supplier, thanks Marc.
Long Island Watch has blazing fast service, as well a great communication. The Laco 42mm is a very good watch. I believe it's the best value for the price. The Laco watch strap is also excellent.
Finally, Sapphire! All was good with watch and dealer. I have the movement in other watches with only good results. Workmanship is very good, lume okay. A thick case with a thin bezel results in it looking large on the wrist...takes some getting used to. It doesn't feel clunky though, thanks to good lug design.
Very nice B dial watch for quick and easy time read, will wear it to work for a easy way to time projects on the job.

For fitness resolutions, March is the new January.
When it comes to fitness resolutions, March is the new January. Turns out, more people join health clubs in March than in January, and more people also start running in March, versus January, too.
First, visit your local running store and invest in a new pair of shoes. Not only will it make your first few miles more enjoyable, you’ll feel real guilty if these brand new shoes you just kicked down a wad of cash for are sitting idle in your closet.
Next, sign up for an event. Having a goal in front of you is a great impetus for staying motivated. If you really want to add some pressure, send out a mass email blast to your contact list announcing your participation in this event. Better yet, select a cause of your choosing and do the race for charity.
Then, when you're feeling sluggish and lazy, lacking the inspiration to stick to your training program, you’ll have this added driving force to help get you out the door!
Hope that helps. Now get going!

I formally became the disciple of Zen Master Pu Yu of Bubble Spring Temple on Drum Mountain in Fujian Province, China, right after the end of the Cultural Revolution in the late 1970’s. At that time, the temple had few monks and hardly any visitors. After the private ceremony, Master Pu Yu gave me a pep talk that has guided my life since. He talked about Zen tradition, the temple’s history, and also spoke more informally and personally to me.

EXPLORE’S True Africa Adventure Safari is unlike any safari you are likely to see offered anywhere else! This adventurous journey takes you to places few people ever have the privilege to see, and affords you unique, authentic cultural encounters. You’ll visit the fascinating county of Cameroon, touring its impressive palaces, some of which are 800 years old. You will meet one of the queens of the Bafut dynasty and the King of Bubonga. In the western forests of the CAR you can participate in an authentic hunt with the Ba’aka, or forest people (known as pygmies), who sing as they trap the animals in a handmade net hundreds of feet long, and visit Bayanga village for a private viewing of the tortoise dance. The highlight of the trip is certain to be the remote and mysterious Dzangha-Shanga National Park, where you will trek in search of rare lowland gorillas, forest elephants, bongo, chimpanzees and sitatunga. From start to finish, this will be an adventure into the heart of Africa that you never forget.
Upon arrival in one of Douala’s most tranquil districts, you will experience the french-speaking side of Cameroon featuring attractive grounds overlooking the Wouri River, the harbor, and a wooded par, an array of museums and an interesting wildlife reserve.
You will take a charter flight to Bamenda in the Anglophone, Northwest Province. Bamenda is located in the high grasslands of Cameroon, the heart of Cameroonian culture. Upon arrival you transfer to the Bafut Palace, the seat of power for one of the largest and oldest great kingdoms (referred to as “fondoms”) in all of Africa. The 800 year-old Tikar fondom is a complex of traditional buildings and courtyards, including houses for the fon’s numerous wives and children. You are escorted by one of the queens through the outer courtyard and ceremonial ground of the Bafut people, including the drum house and the inner palace called the Achum. You view the Nighaa Ni Bifh, an immense 300-year-old talking drum used to send messages around the Bafut fondom, particularly in times of war, as well as ancient stones where prisoners or disloyal subjects were put to a brutal death. You then have the opportunity to meet with the fon or king (if he is in residence) and view a traditional dance executed by the royal family. Dancers wear fantastic costumes indicative of their respective secret societies and move to the rhythms of drums and other traditional instruments. During your stay, you will also have a lecture on the culture and traditions of peoples of the West. The Bamiliki, a mixture of peoples, are now the country’s biggest and most economically dominant ethnic group.
You drive to Bandjoun and spend a day in one of the largest Bamiliki chiefdoms that contains one of the most impressive traditionally built palaces in West and Central Africa.
The world-renowned Dzangha-Sangha National Park is in the remote southwest corner of the Central African Republic. You spend the next three days exploring the bai. Large viewing platforms called miradors allow you to watch the animals interact in their natural habitat. Avid birders find the occasion to identify numerous exotic species. One of the highlights of your stay in Dzangha is trekking through the mist in search of the lowland gorilla in one of only two places in the world where lowland gorillas are habituated to human presence. Mangebey tracking is also available to those who are fit to keep up with the agile and fast-paced primates. During your stay, you participate in an authentic Ba’aka (known as pygmies or forest people) hunt in which it is possible to see the animals lured by the magical music of the pygmy hunters. Moreover, Ba’aka women take you on a forest walk to teach you about medicinal local plants. You visit Bayanga village to observe village life and local customs; here you enjoy a private viewing of the unique tortoise dance. You also can visit the Dzangha bai for bird-viewing from the platforms and drop down to the Bai Hokou for your last chance to track gorillas and Mangabeys.
Charter back to Douala and homeward.

There are plenty of troubling components in drugstore cosmetics, but with these pure makeup manufacturers, you will don’t have anything to worry about. So she questioned if she might start her own line and as she had just left her previous job as a corporate Digital Model Supervisor to look into exploring other territories. The main ingredient is mineral oil, which is not particularly impressive, but artists love the mushy texture it leads to. In spite of everything, having a great base to work with before applying make-up is of utmost importance.
In case you think that organic makeup brands cannot go on par with chemical formulations in offering the mesmerizing appeal and influence, you’ll have to change your ideas right now. Perfume: The problem with seeing fragrance” on your makeup bottle is that this one phrase can mean there are as much as one hundred completely different chemical substances added to your make-up.
That is why I like to recommend using merchandise that are examined for gluten, particularly when you’re severely allergic or sensitive to gluten. It stays on, is vibrant for hours, even tho it’s costly…I’ve tried many eyeshadows, most talked about right here, and so they simply don’t work as well for me. It’s well worth the cash, plus, when you care, animal-cruelty free (many UD merchandise are even vegan).
Make-up sets and palettes have change into a alternative for women as a result of not solely does it already have a number of issues in a single container, however it is usually very portable. Some places to consider are Sephora, Ulta, that has quite a lot of makeup brands like Urban Decay, Clinique, Smashbox, Bareminerals and so on. Tub and Physique Works, H&M, The Body Shop, Dealer Joe’s, Whole Foods and Topshop are a number of of the places you’ll be able to store for cosmetics that aren’t tested on animals.

Alena Smith’s The New Sincerity (presented by Theater Wit for the first time in the Midwest) is a richly written post-modern take on the already seemingly dated Occupy Movement. For those unaware, the Occupy Movement began on the west coast in 2009 before reaching critical mass in New York City a few years later. At the height of its popularity thousands of aging hippies, hipsters, and regular folks camped out in public spaces to voice their belief that the government no longer worked for 99% of the population. It was a lot of fun while it lasted, but eventually the police shut it down. Now we are just left with a yelling Bernie Sanders.
Entering this world is the serious writer Rose (Maura Kidwell) who pens the type of lengthy essay that everyone praises but few people ever read. Befriending her in the office is the perpetual intern Natasha (Erin Long who is consistently hilarious throughout) who encourages Rose to have an affair with her boss for no other reason than she hates his over achieving fiance (who is about to publish a book describing her generation as utterly apathetic and uninterested in the political process). This boss, the self-important editor Benjamin (Drew Shirley) appears to have an interest in Rose but maybe lacks the courage to fully make his move. When Rose decideds to write about the Occupy Movement, Benjamin is quick to say no. But the allure of a thousand drum circles is too difficult for Rose to resist and soon she is smack dab in the movement and flirting with a young occupier. Benjamin at first is outraged but quickly has a change of heart and begins to use his magazine to broadcast the Occupy ideals.
There is a quite a lot to recommend about The New Sincerity. For starters the cast is darn near close to perfect in their portrayal of characters that in less capable hands might feel a bit one dimensional. The set, designed by Adam Veness, is also worth a tremendous amount of praise as the actors inhabit a perfectly recreated, almost impossibly airy Manhattan office. Director Jeremy Wechsler paces the material well and for the most part allows audience members to realize certain insights at the same time as the characters.
The inherent flaw with the material, however, is within Smith’s development of Rose’s character. Benjamin’s magazine, Asymptote (which refers to a line that almost, but not quite reaches a distant curve) is more metaphor than publication. Some characters, like Rose, are quick to jump over that line. And given her infatuation with a flaky and very honest occupier this makes sense. What makes less sense, though, is her lack of concern over Benjamin’s motivation in doing so. It is not very likely that any journalist, let alone someone as competent as Rose, would be so utterly lacking in cynicism.
In the end, the new sincerity referenced here is fleeting and insincere, a fad that miraculously survived for a few years but ultimately left the parks empty. Come to think about it, the new sincerity feels a whole lot like the old one.
Bottom Line: The New Sincerity is recommended for its clever writing, excellent acting, and amazing stage design. It is playing at Theater Wit (1229 N. Belmont) through April 17th. Tickets are $12-$36 and can be purchased at TheaterWit.org or by calling (773) 975-8150. For more theater information and reviews, go to theaterinchicago.com.

In conversation with Saumya Pankaj, a Design Thinker and Communication Designer on her journey through the India Craft Project.
Could you share the start of your journey with ‘The India Craft Project’? What were the intentions of this project in the beginning and why did you feel the need to work on this? How has it developed over time?
We have come a long way from observing the crafts, travelling & wandering, to documenting them and building relationships. Exploring designs to making experiences and now we have come to designing experience in this space and making the ‘employable experience’ better in terms of creative exposure.
The reason I talk about this is because there is a need to rediscover the immersive value in the traditional creative spaces of India while understanding 'social infrastructures’. And being on field, made me realize very quickly that a single skill set can’t add enough value to a system. Currently driving The India Craft Project that explores artistic realms through collaborations in rural India to re-imagine craft across clusters! It is important because even though employment generation by handicrafts sector has been growing at about 6-7 % each year, sadly more than 200 crafts are endangered today and each year we stand to lose 10% of our artisans to labor jobs.
Following a collaborative design process we are driving The India Craft Project envisioning a community that experiences and exploring artistic realms with traditional crafts. Through meet-ups, engaging with craftspeople, content writers, photographers, travellers and designers, even with bikers and brainstorming with them has been an enriching & rewarding experience. We found that it's essential to keep a consistently higher learning curve to empower our craftsmen through creative exposure to keep them professionally motivated as a stakeholder. It’s been valuable to get diverse insights and constructive criticism on different scenarios of this complex problem. Social media has been a great source to reach out, share the vision and invite people to be a part of it in different capacities.
In a country, which is home to more than 7 million craftspeople and is known for its ‘culture’ and ‘diversity’. It's essential at this point to keep a consistently higher learning curve to empower our traditional artisans. In a highly industrialized and globalized world - it calls for a relationship-based approach instead of a transaction-oriented approach alone.
Here, currency is not just about the monetary measure, it’s the people, the ones driving it and the lives driven by it. Without either of the two, the ‘problem’ remains unresolved. As Seth Godin says, ‘We have to acknowledge that we have finite resources, finite connections, finite time. How should we use them prudently to produce outcomes that we’re eventually proud of’ and in this case, add more value to all stakeholders involved.
How many people were/ are involved in the project? How many craftsmen/ communities do you work with? Is there a focus on a particular or a group of crafts?
The India Craft Project is a volunteer driven initiative with close to 200 volunteers across the globe and a core decision-making team and that’s our humble family. We’re currently travelling, documenting and analyzing observations to design outcome based experiences for youngsters while working on smaller projects we find scope in, in the traditional creative spaces of India. Initiate strong relationships through this stage of the project will be the roots of our initiative of Craft Collaboration. The India Craft Project envisions exploring artistic realms in rural creative communities through creative interventions and collaborations.
This multifaceted, interdisciplinary, collaborative endeavor uses the tools of research, design thinking, scenario building and finding immersive value in spaces and other feedback methods. Social communication also allows porous inroads of new identities and even a personal position on social issues and practices. It allows the social ‘practitioner’ (our experience consumer) to learn via participation in ethical debates, hands on processes and cultural experiences within a simulated environment in order to achieve a collective or personal goal. Something that adds more value is innovative and rewarding for the all stakeholders involved.
To master creative processes, with an underlying promise of experimentation and exploration, go on a joyful and enlightening journey, our learning process is designed to be exhaustive and community oriented. TICP envisages a workplace shift to ‘social workplace’ allowing a fresh approach in organizational and community mobilization, progressive collaboration, malleability and connectivity to the bigger vision. We also envision a more cohesive objective that serves the ‘bigger good’ or even the ‘good of all’ the stakeholders involved. This permits not just micro personal growth but the macro involvement of policy change and It cuts on the ‘monologue’ and encourages collective dialogue.
Its active and collaborative learning was an exciting experience, working in groups as an integral course design strategy. Not only did it enhance the depth of learning and individual engagement, one also experienced the added benefit of improving communication, interpersonal leadership, diplomatic and teamwork skills and the shared bonhomie and stories made the grueling hours so bearable. Eventually I evolved individually and dramatically as I opened to diverse opinions, ideas and styles to better my own understanding on various subjects, and to enhance my facilitation and communication skills while trying my hands at various branches of design.
For far too long now we have focused on quick solutions for the excitement of short-term gains. And we’ve been content to count instead of measure. Now that might work in some cases but approaching ‘complex problems’ requires re-thinking and welcoming a sobering perspectives and discovering shared strengths. That’s where we step in, for strategy and design in this sector.
A single person or an executing agency if we talk about a system does not have the expertise to exercise the various specialized interventions for problems layered with complexities - design development, skill up-gradation, technology support, marketing, finance and infrastructural support. And even when multiple people/organizations come and work together (in the face of parallel schemes in this sector) often times experience a lack of synergy between them, clashing individual goals & different work processes. This is where teamwork and collaborative efforts need to be paid a close glance at to arrive close to solution. Not a ‘one shoe fits all’ approach, since each craft cluster has a different set of weakness and strength. And that’s the beauty of it too.
Design was never a subject that could be taught or contained within the walls of the elite institution, but more of a ‘philosophy’ and the approach had a liberating effect and that’s what we wish to imbibe in The India Craft Project initiatives as well. A reason why there’s no ‘founder’ and multiple driving forces through collaboration and only people ‘driving’ it.
Since the project started how have you been able to facilitate collaboration with the craftsmen? Give us examples of projects etc.
The India Craft Project was founded in 2017 with the idea of bringing together craftsmen and their community in order to foster deeper relationships and help preserve the traditional history of our country. With this project, TICP hopes to impact the two communities in little ways and increase exposure on both the consumer and the craftsmen ends in order to facilitate a unique experience for both.
With the Bikers in Jaipur project coming up this January 2019, we aim to bring together two wildly different communities in order to bring about an exchange of ideas and foster creativity and community. In the first of many chapters, this project is all about exchanging culture and building relationships. Craftsmen and their community engage in a space built for learning, creativity and fun.
These set of bikers get to experience the joy and knowledge of creating a leather piece and engage with craftsmen who are otherwise removed from us. We wish to bring out colors of community; culture and design, interwoven into an exclusive experience that will be then formed into a video story and further engage different communities into a similar experience.
It is not known to most that craft, second to agriculture, is the biggest occupation in India. Mohammad Faruq and his sons, Abdul Wahab and Abu Bakkar, of the Khatri Community in Kutch, practice ajrakh block printing. They’re family not just by blood but also skill. Explaining to The India Craft Project Team, the ingenious process of Ajrakh Block Printing, they spoke about being the 7th generation of the family working out of the current workshop, which is nearly 200 years old, adding on why they still do what they do.
Understanding that is important and precious to our process, because even though employment generation by handicrafts sector has been growing at about 6-7 % each year, sadly more than 200 crafts are endangered today and each year we stand to lose 10% of our artisans to labor jobs. In a country, which is home to more than 7 million craftspeople and is known for its ‘culture’ and ‘diversity’.

The Craft Project wishes to document tangible anthropology i.e material culture of a place and comment on its relevance in the contemporary space. We also wish to bring together a community of cultural travelers and craft entrepreneurs and create a collective of common motivation. The Craft Project celebrates Diversity in culture through objects, folk arts, crafts, and design. Through this project, we will be conducting community-sourced primary research and publishing about crafts and will involve brands, NGOs, collectives, makers, designers, curators, thought leaders, other publications etc. We also are interested in topics of Adornment, Sustainability and world crafs.

This session is about how and why it is important to treat self-care and well-being as an organizational strategy and cultural norm. When self-care initiatives are treated as “extras” instead of being built right into the fabric of an organization’s culture, they are nothing more than a Band-Aid, barely disguising the underlying chronic stress and eroding the nonprofits' ability to meet its mission.
This session will share the latest thinking on well-being in the nonprofit workplace based on the presenter’s book “The Happy, Healthy Nonprofit: Strategies for Impact without Burnout.” Going beyond a narrow focus on physical health and wellness, the session will share examples and insights from nonprofits that have created and implemented a culture of well-being in the workplaces that supports results.
Understand the basics of burnout symptoms and self-care practices that many nonprofit professionals are embracing to ensure their resilience in the face of significant challenges.
Get some practical tips for changing a toxic workplace culture into a happy, healthy one and simple and low-cost ways to introduce well-being programs into your workplace.
Learn about the big return on investment that happens when a nonprofit prioritizes well-being in the workplace so you can make the case at your nonprofit.

Super Smash Bros. Melee, often shortened to "SSBM" or "Melee", is a fighting game for the Nintendo GameCube. It was released in America and Japan shortly after GameCube's launch in late 2001, and early 2002 in Europe. Like its predecessor, Melee features gameplay unique from that of other fighting games. Compared to characters in other fighting games, Smash characters have simple movesets and lacked complex button inputs and lengthy combos. The gameplay focused on movement and knocking your opponent out of the arena.
While Melee mainly follows the same formula introduced in its predecessor, several differences exist between the two games; improved physics, the addition of sidestep-dodging, air-dodging, wavedashing, etc. Melee is considered by many to be the best Smash game in the series, and despite the release of newer titles like Super Smash Bros. for Wii U with more participants and bigger cash prize pools, the Melee scene remains very strong.

Queues are everywhere. At the Airports, at restaurants, and on the roads (like the image above). But in virtualized applications the queues we most often run into that cause us problems are in the storage systems and IO path of the applications. There are queues in the applications, the operating system, the storage controller drivers and storage devices in the operating system, in the hypervisors, in the back end storage devices. When you overload your storage queues bad things happen. As I explained in “5 Tips to Help Prevent 80% of Virtualization Problems” we need to understand the queues, how they are used by applications, and how to optimize the operating systems and virtualization platforms to get the most out of them. I see the most acute problems when customers attempt to virtualize large and high performance databases. The best cure in these cases is prevention.
The reason we often see issues with database performance in particular is because they issue a lot of IO’s all at the same time and can easily overload the queues of a single virtual disk or multiple virtual disks in some cases. A database can quite easily issue hundreds to a few thousand IO’s at the same time (using async IO), which if your database is configured to only use a single virtual disk in the operating system will cause excess queuing and slow response times. In Windows the OS disk device queues in storport are limited to only 255 outstanding IO’s, but many storage devices or virtual disks are limited to 32 or 64 outstanding IO operations per disk. If you overload your disk driver queue (such as LSI SAS or PVSCSI), then the operating system will queue the IO’s until responses for the previous issues IO’s are received. This means longer response times for your applications.
Because the first queue overloaded is usually the disk queue we recommend splitting high performance workloads that issue many IO’s in parallel across multiple disk devices. This is fine to a point. But then you may run into the queue depth limits of the virtual disk controller, such as 128 for LSI SAS, and default of 256 for PVSCSI in VMware. To work around this problem in VMware and Hyper-V you can add more virtual disk controllers, up to 4 SCSI controllers in VMware ESXi. In this case we recommend splitting the multiple virtual disks across multiple virtual SCSI controllers, such as PVSCSI. The database files are then split across the different virtual disks, the how of which is determined based on the type of database you use. For SQL Server I covered this extensively in storage chapter of Virtualizing SQL Server with VMware: Doing IT Right (VMware Press 2014).
Here is a test I did a while back that showed the different performance characteristics of virtual disk devices in VMware vSphere.
You can see from the above results that using PVSCSI is the best storage adapter to use to deliver the highest performance in terms of IOPS and throughput, the lowest latency, and it is also the lowest CPU overhead. In Hyper-V we would recommend generation 2 VM’s and SCSI disks.
PVSCSI in VMware vSphere allows you to change the default queue depths for a device from 64 to 256, and from the default per controller of 256 to 1024. Then you can have 4 controllers, allowing up to 4096 outstanding IO’s concurrently per VM. This is covered in VMware KB 2053145 Large-scale workloads with intensive I/O patterns might require queue depths significantly greater than Paravirtual SCSI default values. Where it gives advice on increasing the default queue depths for VMware’s PVSCSI. Increasing the queue depth can improve performance by allowing more IO’s to be sent to the back end storage and improve response times. Provided your back end storage can respond to more IO in parallel (check with your storage team or storage vendor on the back end config). Moving a bottleneck from one place to another might not result in an improved experience if the other components are already overloaded.
One note of caution. Over the last 6 months I have been across a number of customers incidents running SQL Server databases on various different vendor platforms where the queue depths on PVSCSI were at their defaults and the OS was becoming overloaded. In some rare cases the OS queues were getting overloaded to the point that data appeared to not be able to persist to storage and resulted in some database file corruptions being reported in the windows event logs and SQL logs. Similar to those reported in Win 2K8 with PVSCSI Critical Issue. Although I don’t have conclusive evidence that the PVSCSI driver was the cause, in all cases increasing the queue depth of the PVSCSI controller in the registry in Windows (2008 or 2012) in all cases resolved the issues. The problem couldn’t be reproduced reliably in all environments, but in environments where customers saw the issue they could reproduce it on demand. My recommendations in this type of case is to log a Sev 1 case with VMware support and your hardware vendor or partner to help diagnose and root cause the fault. But be aware VMware doesn’t officially do root cause analysis unless you have Business Critical or Mission Critical Support. If I come across any more cases of this and get a conclusive root cause or VMware or Microsoft publish a KB on this I will update this article. We’ve also noticed that disks inside of Windows have write cache enabled by default, this is another potential cause of problems and it is recommended that you disable disk cache.
Avoid overloading your storage queues if you want to have good end user response times to applications. In VMware vSphere environments use PVSCSI virtual controllers and configure the maximum of 4 of them and divide your virtual disks across them. Make sure you are using the latest version of VMware Tools and the latest driver versions. Make sure you increase the default queue depths in the Windows Registry / Linux drivers. In Hyper-V use Generation 2 VM’s with SCSI Controllers. Other hypervisors may not require additional controllers depending on how they are designed. But the operating systems and databases don’t know they are virtualized, so they will work the same way and benefit from more parallel queues and more disk devices. LVM’s and striped volumes in the Guest OS can allow you to split a workload over multiple disks without increasing management complexity of the database or applications.
The very strange thing about all of this is how VMware still, even with the latest version of its vCenter Server Appliance, uses multiple disks all on the same single LSI Logic Parallel virtual disk controller.
Thank you for writing this blog post. Would you say that your opinion is the PVSCI should now be a default in VMware environments, or should this still be used for performance and on a case-by-case basis? I think as of one of the 5.5 updates, PVSCSI is supported for MSCS. Any other caveats for making this a default?
I think it should be the default now that it can be used for MSCS or Windows Failover Cluster. If you pre tune your OS templates it makes it much easier to standardise great performance.
That makes sense. I’ve been looking around for information on this topic and this post was very helpful. At least having PVSCSI installed by default gives you higher queue depths and the ability to tune those higher if needed.
Thanks for this great post, like always.
Wich Tool can we use to mesure an actual DB VM, IO, and also the amont of queue in controller ?
You can use this freeware https://labs.vmware.com/flings/io-analyzer it is versatile and easy to use.
let me know once you get it tested or have found something else.
If all the disks are on the same datastore are you getting any benefits from multiple controllers?
Yes as the controller can still cause os bottlenecks.
I’m currently battling an issue very similar to this and had a few questions.
1)What type of log entries have you seen from Windows/SQL from the corruptions?
2) When the issue can be recreated, what type of traffic typical causes? Just high IO?
Oddly enough, we’ve only had problems when running VM Hw Ver 13.
Just to give a little more info, the specific SQL server having issues is w2012r2 w/ SQL 2016. We have PVSCSI adapters but we haven’t defined the SCSI queue in Windows.

Throughout 2011, Wall Street has been a household word. With the economy still in shambles, seemingly at the hands of fast and loose stock market trading, there are many opinions about the vaunted Manhattan financial center.
For many people, Wall Street is symbolic of unchecked greed and excess at the expense of innocent people. Others see the country's economic woes as symptomatic only of people's inability to live within their means. For them, Wall Street remains symbolic of all that is good about America's capitalistic roots.
Fortunately, Hollywood has something for everyone in this recession no matter whether you are a Wall Street cheerleader or hater. These movies have chronicled evolutionary changes on Wall Street through modern years with mesmerizing clarity in many cases. We're not talking about Tim Syke's penny stocks, these movies are about the titans of Wall Street. The characters in these movies have been indelibly seared into the American consciousness; woven into popular culture like golden strands.
We know you 're recession-weary, and looking for a diversion if even for just a couple of hours. For your viewing pleasure, we've compiled some of Hollywood's greatest attempts to make sense of Wall Street culture.
Starring Michael Douglas as the unforgettable Gordan Gekko. An Oliver Stone classic, from 1987, that depicts Wall Street's denizens in all the greedy glory.
Starring Eddie Murphy and Dan Akroyd when they were still funny. This John Landis comedy, from 1983, helped launch both stars careers and tells a hysterical tale of the rise and fall of the Wall Street elite.
Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room This 2005 documentary isn't exactly typical Hollywood fare, but it does pull the curtain back for a look at the rise and demise of a company that has come to symbolize heartless greed.
The1990 film adaptation of Tom Wolf's classic book, starring Tom Hanks, doesn't exactly set its laser focus on Wall Street, but it does take an unflinching look at upper class Manhattan's estrangement from the rest of society.
Christian Bale plays Wall Street trader Patrick Bateman who is sinking into complete psychosis in this 2000 tale of murder and mayhem. Prepare to have your own sanity shaken with this one.
While this list doesn't include every movie ever made about New York's money mecca and it doesn't even touch on similar themes that play out in other locales, it does represent a diverse selection of Hollywood's varied representations of Wall Street culture.

At PS 110, we follow the Common Core Learning Standards. The Common Core standards provide an opportunity to develop students’ critical thinking skills and challenge them to become life-long learners.
Written by K–2 teachers, PS 110’s literacy curriculum re ects a progression of learning aligned to the Common Core Standards. In order to strengthen key routines and big ideas in literacy, each grade’s curriculum builds on the previous year. Similarly, each lesson within a module builds on a previous lesson. Each module in both reading and writing opens with a rationale – what teachers will be teaching and why. Each module includes learning outcomes, scripted anchor lessons, explicit teaching targets, recommendations for mentor (teaching) texts and other resources (charts, paper choices, etc.) as well as embedding references to a Responsive Classroom (to build a respectful community) and developmentally appropriate practices such as Move to Improve (to provide movement breaks in classrooms).
There is an emphasis on social and emotional literacy (i.e., Second Step) that connects to student learning goals and enables teachers to establish ef cient routines. These routines promote independence and help build a positive community with a shared purpose that not only sets the stage for learning, it elevates learning opportunities.
In addition to aligning with reading and writing standards, there is an emphasis in the K – 2 curriculum on speaking and listening standards - important skills for young learners to develop since much of their reading and writing is focused on oral language. To leverage transition time in Kindergarten, parents dropping off their children will be invited to engage in purposeful activities (i.e. literacy centers, math games) to enable support transition as well as supporting classroom learning.
PS 110 uses Expeditionary Learning (EL) as its 3–5 literacy curriculum. EL’s curriculum, created in collaboration with the New York State Education Department, combines high quality, rigorous, standards- aligned content with effective instructional practice, bringing together the “what” and the “how” of the Common Core standards. The curriculum is built on rich and compelling topics that are supported by great books and worthy informational texts. Detailed daily lessons help teachers envision and implement key instructional routines, such as scaffolding students toward high quality writing, or conferring with students to push them to cite evidence from text.
PS 110 uses EngageNY (Eureka) for its mathematics curriculum Pre-K–5.
Curriculum modules are highlighted by an in-depth focus on fewer topics. They integrate the CCLS, rigorous classroom reasoning, extended classroom time devoted to practice and re ection through extensive problem sets, and high expectations for mastery.
new content is taught), problem sets (independent application of learning), student debrief (whole class re ection on lesson and teaching) and exit tickets (students work independently to demonstrate mastery to the teacher).
Pre-Kindergarten is about (1) developing an understanding of whole numbers using concrete materials, including concepts of correspondence, counting, cardinality, and comparison; and (2) describing shapes in their environment.
Kindergarten is about (1) representing, relating, and operating on whole numbers, initially with sets of objects; and (2) describing shapes and space.
First Grade is about (1) developing understanding of addition, subtraction, and strategies for addition and subtraction within 20; (2) developing understanding of whole number relationships and place value, including grouping in tens and ones; (3) developing understanding of linear measurement and measuring lengths as iterating length units; and (4) reasoning about attributes of, and composing and decomposing geometric shapes.
Second Grade is about (1) extending understanding of base-ten notation; (2) building uency with addition and subtraction; (3) using standard units of measure; and (4) describing and analyzing shapes.
of dividing to nd quotients involving multi-digit dividends; (2) developing an understanding of fraction equivalence, addition and subtraction of fractions with like denominators, and multiplication of fractions by whole numbers; and (3) understanding that geometric gures can be analyzed and classi ed based on their properties, such as having parallel sides, perpendicular sides, particular angle measures, and symmetry.
Fifth grade is about (1) developing uency with addition and subtraction of fractions,and developing understanding of the multiplication of fractions and of division of fractions in limited cases (unit fractions divided by whole numbers and whole numbers divided by unit fractions); (2) extending division to two-digit divisors, integrating decimal fractions into the place value system and developing understanding of operations with decimals to hundredths, and developing uency with whole number and decimal operations; and (3) developing understanding of volume.
PS 110’s science program is a hands-on, inquiry-based approach to science. Students are actively engaged in the discovery process and are given the opportunity to explore their own predictions and ideas on a wide variety of topics. Through this program, students not only gain knowledge about scienti c concepts but build their skills as scientists and researchers as well. In addition, students are given the chance to work independently, and in cooperative groups, and to express their ideas in written, oral, and pictorial forms giving students a well-rounded science experience.
At least once a week, children in grades Pre-K- 5 learn different age-appropriate skills, movements, and sports games. They also explore different types of physical activities that they can take beyond the P.E. class. A non- competitive philosophy ensures that all children have fun while learning lifelong fitness skills. We want children to feel good about themselves and to try new things.
Our goal is for the children to develop an appreciation for physical tness and to continue this active trend throughout their lives. Students should wear (or bring) sneakers on P.E. days or they may not be allowed to participate.
At 110, the visual arts program is an exploratory and creative process. The early grades use materials and processes such as cutting, drawing, painting and molding to develop ne motor skills and to provide a basic foundation of art knowledge on which to build in later grades. In the upper grades, lessons are designed and sequenced to continually expand on the students’ previous art knowledge and experiences/skills. By the fth grade, students will have an extensive understanding of the materials and their appropriate uses.

First use, forgot to shake - what could happen?
Left ear infection. Instilled 3 drops Neomycin and Polymyxin 8 Sulfates and Hydrocortisone Otic in suspension tonight. I forgot to shake it. Can that hurt my ear? ## Not really, it just means that you may not have gotten the right amount of the active ingredients in those drops. Thus, from now on, you do need to be careful to make sure to shake it, as instructed. Doing that too many times could cause the infection to not be properly eradicated. You should, however, double check this information with your doctor or pharmacist. Is there anything else I can help with?
