CRN’s virtually delivered development process follows a series of steps designed to reinforce key learning over the duration of the program.
Assessment: Meeting your managers where they are.
To properly tailor development for each manager, our process begins with a baseline individual skills assessment that can take the form of formal 360° assessments, Individual Development Plans or self-assessments. The manager and their CRN coach work together to not only understand the meaning and implications of the assessment feedback, but also to prioritize areas of concentration throughout the program—establishing mutually agreed-upon expectations and a picture of success.
Skills-building: Laying the groundwork for success.
CRN programs are designed to integrate knowledge, understanding, practice, feedback and learning around topics that are critical for middle managers’ development. These are relevant skills that will help managers to drive your business and fill your future leadership pipeline.
Practical application: Growth and accountability at work.
Our coaches’ primary role is to help middle managers process and apply what they’re learning. At the end of each session, managers commit to applying their learning to their daily work responsibilities—with the expectation that they will report back on the experience during their next coaching session.
Feedback: A gift that keeps on giving.
Depending on your learning objectives, our programs are tailored to include 6-9 sessions over a 6-9 month time period. At the core of each session is a safe environment where managers can share their real-life leadership challenges and concerns and then receive objective feedback from an independent third party—their CRN coach. Feedback to reinforce learning in the context of real work, done consistently over an extended time period, results in managers taking ownership of their own professional and personal growth.
A coaching program designed to end.
There’s a common belief that coaches and consultants are like barnacles—attaching themselves to clients with work, and billings, that never seems to end. Our philosophy is the exact opposite. One of our main program goals is to ultimately transition the development mentorship role to an internal partner so development can continue after our work is complete. Based on the needs of each client, we determine how best to integrate the participant’s boss, or another influential coworker, into the development program. Ideally, we integrate this individual at the beginning, middle and end of the program through communication, progress evaluations and participation in two virtual sessions (middle and end) with the coach and the participant. Our goal is for each participant and boss to form their own coaching relationship to replace CRN. Learn more about what makes the CRN approach different.

ST. GEORGE — Gov. Gary Herbert, in his State of the State address Wednesday, praised Utahns for being willing to work “side by side, shoulder to shoulder, no credit, no blame” to solve tough issues.
Delivered in front of the Utah Legislature in Salt Lake City, Herbert said people in Utah who collaborate and step up to serve others are helping end some of the biggest human tragedies in Utah, including homelessness and suicide.
Herbert also mentioned his goals for the 2018 legislative session, including reforming taxes, prioritizing transportation and infrastructure, reducing emissions and boosting education in the state.
Near the beginning of his speech, Herbert held up a book of Utah laws in 1917, which included laws to create workmen’s compensation, expand public education and build roads across the state. The laws passed in Utah 100 years ago should serve as an example of how to create laws that benefit the state in the long run, he said.
The laws passed in this year’s legislative session “will lay a foundation for the success and well-being of our children and grandchildren into the future,” Herbert said.
Some of the goals Herbert said lawmakers should prioritize this year are bills to help public schools better educate students for a competitive marketplace, update Utah’s tax code to keep taxes low, create cost-effective solutions to transportation issues and increase air quality.
Herbert also alluded the surge of women’s rights issues by mentioning the need for equal opportunities for women and the necessary intolerance for workplace harassment. He talked about how his granddaughter McKelle, who is currently on a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Australia, may face some of these issues when she returns.
Reducing teen suicide is a priority for Herbert. Earlier this month, he established a task force of community civic, health, educational and religious leaders to meet with the Utah Suicide Prevention Coalition and come up with a plan to increase community engagement on suicide by Feb. 15.
“The fact that suicide has become the leading cause of death among our young people horrifies me,” the governor said.
Operation Rio Grande, which is an effort aimed at ending homelessness in downtown Salt Lake City, is a prime example of Utahns working together to tackle a challenge, Herbert said.
“While we are not ready to declare victory, Operation Rio Grande has already broken up drug trafficking, reduced crime, cleaned up our streets and parks, increased treatment services and provided job opportunities – all without disrupting the important social services for those experiencing homelessness,” Herbert said.
Herbert closed his speech by calling on the legislators to follow the example of Sen. Lyle Hillyard’s son Matt, who was born with Down syndrome and recently died at the age of 42.
One hundred years from now, Herbert said, Utahns should recognize what laws were made in 2018 to make Utah a better and more successful place. The “spirit of collaboration” is what makes Utah a wonderful place.
If his lips were moving during his speech he was lying!!
Maybe he should have addressed the state’s largest employer sending 2300 of its employees to slaughter.

How Do Americans Get To Work?
You are at:Home»Demographic Data»National Data»County Level Analysis»How Do Americans Get To Work?
The American Community Survey, a survey conducted by the US Census Bureau, estimates that there are 141,337,148 workers in the US. About 76.41%, or 107,990,698 of those working Americans commute to work by driving alone.
The visualization below displays these facts, as well as a map, a stacked bar chart, and totals for each method of transportation so you can see just how many workers use each method of transportation for their journey to work. in our map, counties that are orange represent counties that have a lower than average amount of commuters that drive alone to work. Blue dots represent counties that have a higher than average amount of commuters that drive alone.
With the interactive visualization, you can filter by county and state so you can see how the different breakdowns in different areas of the country. You are also able to filter by age range to see how different age groups commute.
Something that stood out to us was how the the age group with the largest number of walkers was 16-18 year olds, for obvious reasons. We would love to hear of any trends you see in the comments section.
As noted above, the data from this visualization comes from the American Community Survey, which is conducted by the US Census Bureau. This along with a slew of other information is available at American Fact Finder. This information came from Table B08101. The 2010-2014 five year estimates were used for this graphic.
The data was edited in excel after it was downloaded to get the information we needed. The visualization was created in Tableau.

Location, Location, Location - The Key to Pitching Success!
I absolutely loved an article that appeared the other day on the Youth Baseball Blog, titled, " The Best Pitches for Beginning Pitchers." David Weller, the author of the piece, points out that far too many young pitchers are concerned with throwing the curveball - a pitch that can permanently harm an undeveloped arm.
Instead of resorting to what is really a "trick" pitch at such a young age, beginning pitchers really need to learn the basics. Knowing how to throw a four seam and two seam fastball along with a changeup is plenty good enough to keep hitters guessing.
At the beginning, it's all about learning precision and setting up the perfect foundation for adding an extra pitch or two when a young hurler gets older. Being able to vary the location, type and speed of a pitch - even if there is little movement - will certainly be enough to get young batters out.
In the article, David tells youngsters how to grip each pitch and that the real secret of pitching is to keep the batter guessing. Definitely something all young pitchers should read!

It is considered “the summum bonum par excellence” of our winemaker. Ignacio Figueroa has invested all his skills to create a wine considered by many as almost perfection.
The vineyards are located in two areas in the region. One is Bocos de Duero, which boasts deep gravel soil. The other area is Moradillo de Roa y Pardilla, in Ribera del Duero, but at more than 900 metres above sea level. Cool breezes are typical in the area, as well as reddish soils that are marked with broken and burning gravel.
The first grape selection process is carried out in the field, when they are collected in boxes with a maximum capacity of 17 kg.
At Bodegas Raíz de Guzmán, two selections are carried out: one for bunches and the other for loose grapes.
Fermentation and fermentative maceration are carried out in trunco-conical tanks at a controlled temperature.
Malolactic fermentation takes place in new French oak barrels. Barrel ageing is 23 months, 100% French oak.
This wine reflects the gravelly land where the vineyard is located, which embraces the Duero in its slow journey; an aspect that gives the grapes used in the preparation aromas, flavour and character.
Elegance in its aromas; it evokes memories with the smell of wet earth, minerals and mature black fruits. Splendid in the mouth with hints of fine wood and balsamic, as well as toasty hints.
Structured and succulent flavours, which are also extensive and deep.
Visual phase: Rich cherry red colour, high intensity, clean and bright.
Olfactory phase: Powerful and elegant aromas. Evokes memories with the smell of wet earth, minerals and mature black fruits. Sweet toasty hints with coffee and honey tones.
Tasting phase: Splendid on the palate with a marked tannin and succulent undertones. Fine woods, balsamic and toasty flavours. Powerful and structured, extensive and with a long aftertaste or, if you prefer, deep.
Serve at temperature: 16 – 18ºC.

Rats and other types of rodents are a common problem in most major cities and rural areas around the world. Since they are known carriers of dangerous diseases and can contaminate food sources quite easily, hundreds of millions of dollars are spent each year in rodent extermination efforts all around the globe.
And although they are considered to be a nasty pest that can be a threat to our health in Canada, we at Pestend Pest Control Mississauga were shocked to learn that in some parts of the world rats are seen in a completely different light.
We are of course speaking of Karni Mata Temple in the small dusty town of Deshnoke India. Also known as the Temple of Rats, Karni Mata is home to approximately 20,000 rats that are worshiped by thousands of visitors annually.
Why On Earth Are They Worshipping Rats?
There are two main stories explaining why so many Hindus worship the 20,000 plus rats living in Karni Mata.
One of the legends tells a story of a 20,000 person army that fled a battle near Deshnoke about 500 years ago, an act that was punishable by death at the time. When Karni Mata, a Hindu warrior sage living in Deshnoke at the time, found out that these warriors deserted the battle, she spared their lives but turned them into rats offering the temple as a place they can stay. In return, the army of rats offered to serve Karni Mata for eternity.
The other famous legend tells a story of Karni Mata’s stepson drowning in a lake while trying to drink some water. When Karni Mata found out about his death, she called upon Yama, the god of death, to revive him. Yama first refused but then granted a special gift to allow Karni Matas stepson and all her other male children to be reincarnated as rats.
So to the thousands of worshipers that visit Karni Mata Temple every year, these rats are actually believed to be reincarnated servants of Karni Mata and some special white rats are thought to be descendants of Karni Matas family.
So how exactly are these rats worshiped in the temple?
Just like any other temple, there are several daily rituals that occur in the temple and of course special events several times a year.
Worshiping on a daily basis begins at 4:00 am when Charan priests offer a special food known as bhog to the rats. Throughout the rest of the day worshipers visiting the temple will also feed the rats special types of food and will even eat and drink with the rats. It is actually considered a high honour amongst worshipers to eat a piece of food that was nibbled by a rat in the temple and to drink from the same bowl of milk that the rats drink from.
The greatest honour of all at Karni Mata temple is if you spot one of the few white rats roaming around the temple. These white rats are thought to be the manifestations of Karni Mata herself and her four sons. Visitors who are lucky enough to see one of these white rats will typically try to feed them a special food known as prasad.

Atrium Medical Corporation is a relatively new medical device manufacturer. It’s based in the U.S., but it sells critical care products worldwide. Atrium is well-known for its soft tissue and hernia repair products. It also makes coronary and peripheral stents and catheters. Atrium operates as a subsidiary of Maquet. Swedish medical technology company Getinge Group owns Maquet.
Atrium Medical Corporation makes popular products like C-QUR mesh. It also makes vascular grafts, local therapeutic infusion catheters and covered stents.
Atrium Medical had stop manufacturing some of these products while it made corrections. Other products were restricted. But people could still get them with a certificate of medical necessity form.
In early 2015, Atrium signed a Consent Decree with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The decree established a framework that provided assurances to the FDA that the company would complete necessary improvements to strengthen its quality management system.
In 2018, Atrium faces a growing number of hernia mesh lawsuits. It also recalled 60 units of ProLite Mesh for improper labeling.
Atrium Medical’s headquarters is in Merrimack, New Hampshire. Atrium develops over 2.7 million medical products each year. It distributes them to over 60 countries.
Atrium Medical started in 1981. It has operated as a subsidiary of Maquet Cardiovascular LLC since November 2011, according to Bloomberg.
Maquet has German roots dating back to 1838. Getinge Group acquired Macquet in 2000. Getinge is a Swedish company.
Getinge brought in about $2.6 billion in revenue in 2017. MPO Magazine ranked Getinge No. 25 out of the top 30 medical device companies.
Mattias Perjos is Getinge’s current president and CEO. Carl Bennett is the company’s current chairman.
Atrium leads the market in chest drainage devices.
Atrium develops products for cardiovascular disease, soft tissue repair and critical care management.
These products include artificial heart components, minimally invasive gastrointestinal devices, various catheters and stents, and soft tissue and hernia repair and support components.
The company also leads the market in chest drainage devices.
Atrium is currently facing hundreds of lawsuits over its popular hernia repair meshes. Injured patients filing the lawsuits claim that the products are defective.
Patients injured after being implanted with Atrium’s C-QUR mesh are suing Atrium.
More than 470 C-QUR hernia mesh lawsuits are pending in New Hampshire federal court. Trials are expected to start in 2019.
Lawsuits blame Atrium C-QUR mesh for serious complications.
A 2014 lawsuit blamed a man’s injuries on Atrium’s ProLoop polypropylene hernia repair mesh.
Juan Paredes of New Jersey filed the lawsuit against Atrium, Maquet and Getinge Group. He accused the hernia mesh manufacturers of designing a faulty device.
Paredes underwent a double inguinal hernia repair in 2011, according to his complaint. Doctors implanted Paredes with the device during the surgery. He had to have a second surgery in 2012 to have it removed.
Atrium settled a whistleblower lawsuit in 2016 for $11.5 million.
Esther Grace Sullivan alleged that Atrium paid illegal kickbacks to doctors. He claimed the company paid doctors to promote the company’s iCast brand medical stents for use in patients’ arteries. The FDA had not approved that use.
Sullivan worked for Atrium from 2007 to 2012. He was a sales representative and territory business manager.
The settlement is one of the largest in U.S. history for claims brought under federal law where the government actually declined to join as a party.
Atrium has recalled some of its products, including its problematic meshes. The FDA investigated the problems that initiated each mesh recall and recall of other products as well.

LaLiga has gained in popularity among its native fans in spite of the Cristiano Ronaldo exit. The Spanish top division football league this season has create national record for more than 5 million ticket sales, up 7.3% from the last year.
A research by Palco 23 has confirmed that record 5,248,853 spectators have attended the 295 LaLiga matches till date this season. This is the first time Spanish professional football has exceeded the 5 million mark before Christmas.
Unlike in previous years, LaLiga managed to close every month of the season up on the corresponding figure for last year. The average attendance for each club was 27,500.
2018 season of LaLiga started on sedate note in terms of opening day fixture involving Real Madrid.
The attendance for the opening fixture was 48,446 as per LaLiga’s official website. Although LaLiga’s decision to hold the game at 10:15 PM local time might have affected the numbers for the game, it was discomforting to see a club like Real Madrid record such a low attendance.
In fact, this was their lowest attendance in the past 9 years. The last time Real Madrid posted such a low attendance was back in 2009 when a losing effort against Mallorca saw only 44,270 fans attending the match.
Not only LaLiga, attendances for the Segunda División, the second tier in Spain, were up 21.2 per cent at 1,673,909, with an average of 10,415 people per game.
This year’s LaLiga has been more competitive than in previous seasons. The top eight teams in the league are separated by just 8 points while perennial title contenders Real Madrid sit in fifth place.

The Best Way(s) to "De-Bug" Books !
Dryer with a shelf instead of Packtite/oven?
Getting ready to move and FREAKING OUT!
Can we use a Packtite for things like books?
Occasionally the question arises on how to treat books in which bed bugs may be present.
Hi, I’m Paul Bello author of The Bed Bug Combat Manual, welcome to today’s show.
When dealing with books, furniture or any item which may become infested with bed bugs perhaps it’s wise to first consider: what is the actual likelihood or probability that this item is, in fact, infested? While this is true of any item, today we are going to focus on hard cover books. So in addition to the probability or likelihood that a book is infested, we also need to consider how and when we need these books. If you’re a student studying for your biochemistry final, you’re pretty much going to need to have access to your text books immediately and we’ll discuss that later in today’s show.
Now, if your situation is truly “a bed bug ground zero” type location, where hundreds or thousands of bed bugs are seen everywhere, then it’s fair and reasonable to assume that bed bugs are probably going to be found in your books and other stored items too.
However, if you’re finding just a few bugs present in places where you rest, such as your bed frame or sofa, the odds that bed bugs have found their way into books stored on a shelf away from the bed is slim. But, if say, you're falling asleep reading books or studying in bed, then the likelihood of bed bugs getting in your books increases. In short, it is wise to weigh the risks in a reasonable fashion lest we drive ourselves crazy and do unnecessary work for no good reason.
This said, let’s talk about how to de-bug books using various techniques and methodologies , both chemical and non-chemical. Of course, each of these options has its own advantages, disadvantages and costs associated which we will discuss. Note that we’ll be considering hard cover books only for purposes of today’s show.
By the end of today’s show, you will be able to decide which treatment methodology option is best for you!
Bed bugs are well suited to surviving extreme cold temperatures for extended periods of time which becomes a concern when considering a freeze type treatment. While nearly everyone has a kitchen freezer, these are not well suited to kill bed bugs 100% in a timely fashion due to the variations in temperature as the door opens and closes. A chest type freezer is better choice since it is not as affected as a typical upright type freezer when the door is opened as cold "falls". However, if this is your chosen option, you will need to keep your books in the freezer for many days if not weeks to attain 100% mortality.
It is a well-known and established fact that bed bugs more readily succumb to heat than they do to cold. In short, bed bugs are good at cold but heat, not so much. How heat is delivered can affect the overall results and the treatment exposure time necessary to provide 100% mortality. Convection heat works better than conduction heat and this subject has been beaten to death on the Bedbugger Forum in the past. However, what’s not been addressed so much is the fact that even in a convection type heat delivery system application, conduction heat is happening as well in the micro-environs. It’s thermodynamics, it’s physics and it’s unavoidable but, that’s totally another subject. For heat treatments there are a number of commercially available small/portable type units such as the PackTite, Thermal Strike and others which may be purchased for such use.
Note that we do NOT want to apply liquid spray type pesticides to books! The discussion here is limited to vapor type insecticide applications which can kill bed bugs but not harm the books being treated. Currently, there are two products available with which to conduct such treatments. [Please note that your host for today’s show -- that’s me -- has a professional relationship as a consultant for a manufacturer of ddvp containing pest strips.] The two products are the rag in the bag product, which is neem oil, and pest strips, which contain the active ingredient dichlorvos.
Of course, with any pesticide application we must ALWAYS READ AND FOLLOW LABEL DIRECTIONS!
Neem oil is nothing new and has been around as a formulated pesticide for many years. The active ingredient in neem oil is known as azadarachtin because it is extracted from the seeds of an evergreen plant Azadirachta indica. Neem oil based pesticide products are available in a variety of choices on the market today. In fact, the folks that make pest strips also have a number of azadarachtin containing products as well. Neem oil is considered a green or natural type product.
Pest strips are resin strips impregnated with the insecticide active ingredient dichlorvos. This product has been on the retail market since the 1960s and has been used in pet flea collars and other retail insect killing products for many years. When compared to other insecticides on a dose-per-dose type basis, it is likely the most potent and effective active ingredient against bed bugs available with the exception of the highly toxic and deadly fumigant compounds.
Please note that if you elect to use pest strips that it’s easier to work with a storage container type bin as the rigid sides maintain the air or head space necessary to allow the treatment vapors to move within the treated space in a superior fashion to that of a plastic trash bag. The pest strips should be taped or fastened to the inside lid and the lid sealed using packing or other suitable tape. However, if you use plastic trash bags, you’re better off not filling these bags beyond 50% full such that you can capture air within the closed bag to allow space for the treatment vapors. All sealed treatments should be labeled and dated.
Another methodology would be to simply seal and store the suspect books long-term. Doing so would lock any bed bugs in causing them to expire from starvation given sufficient time. Books may be sealed in plastic bags or storage containers.
In earlier shows it seems that the option of immediate physical elimination was not well presented or discussed. This option would be ideal for students and those who require immediate access to a book or books. So, let’s look at how this may be done.
Basically, all you need do is carefully and thoroughly inspect your book for bed bugs and bed bug eggs. Physically remove the bugs and eggs, and you’re good to go. Here are some tips on how to do this.
a.	Work in a well, brightly lit area so you can see well.
b.	Use a large magnifying glass if you need to.
c.	Hold your book over a large white or light colored smooth surfaced container such as a bath tub, sink, baking dish, plastic storage container or other suitable surface upon which a bed bug or egg would be easier to see.
d.	Carefully inspect the book in a thorough fashion such that no pages or areas are missed.
e.	If a bed bug or egg is found, use a credit card, business card or other suitably firm object to scrape the bug or egg off your book.
g.	Work carefully and thoroughly until you are satisfied that you’ve completely examined your book and that no bed bugs or eggs are present on that book.
h.	Note that it is difficult to inspect the spine are of the book. To do so you will need to use a decent flashlight and look carefully inside the spine hollow if present. When done, you may then store the de-bugged book in a zip loc bag or other suitable bed bug proof storage bag or container.
i.	Remember, you can store the books you need in a zip loc so that you can have access to it and not have to worry about bed bugs getting into it.
As for me, there's lots of books here. If I had to, the grand majority of those books would be sealed and those that I use regularly would be de-bugged in an immediate type fashion described above.
That’s all we have for today’s show. If you have questions or comments be sure to send them in and we’ll address them during next week’s show where we'll discuss nuclear fusion as a viable but cost effective bed bug killing methodology.
I just took my name off your web sites mailing list.
Do not open before Christmas !
Thanks for the great tips on the books!!
Let's get down the business... to defeat... the bugs. HWAH!
Very nice post Paul, thank you!
I would like to mention one additional point that was mentioned in another thread . . . If you decide or choose to go with the heat method and if you have a dryer in your home, that may also be an option for heat treating. Many models of dryers now have a shelf available that you can purchase and use for items that you don't want tumbling around. Monitoring temps would still need to be done to assure kill temps are reached.
ABF: Many models of dryers now have a shelf available that you can purchase and use for items that you don't want tumbling around.
Thanks Abs cause it was her idea & questions that resulted in the above.

Update: 2.20pm BENDIGO will get the first patrol car equipped with automatic number plate recognition technology as country Victoria’s police officers grapple with the lion’s share of road trauma fatalities. The technology's rollout would prioritise rural and regional areas, which had attracted about 70 per cent of the state's road fatalities over recent years, road police assistant commissioner Stephen Leane said. A total of 27 people died on rural Victorian roads up to February 12 this year, compared to 10 in Melbourne, according to the latest TAC online data. Bendigo Highway Patrol will take possession of Victoria Police’s first ANPR car on Monday, Assistant Commissioner Leane said. The technology was “light-years” away from current technology, he said, which forced officers to put their head down and manually enter number plate details into an in-car computer, then wait for a response. It meant the officer in the passenger’s seat lost their capacity to scan traffic and “do what they do best,” Assistant Commissioner Leane said. “That’s watching the road, watching the people on the side of the roads and working through who are the most important people they need to intercept and influence.” Earlier UNAUTHORISED drivers around Bendigo will find it much harder to flout the law when the first car equipped with Victoria Police’s new automatic number plate recognition system hits the road. The car is the first of 221 units to be deployed across the state over the next two years. Bendigo officers will begin fully operational patrols with the unit next Tuesday. ANPR units scans number plates and matches them against a database of vehicles of interest. The system allows 5000 vehicles to be scanned per shift. More police and court news Road Policing Command Assistant Commissioner Stephen Leane said a study of fatal collisions in 2016 found that unauthorised drivers were at fault 16 per cent of the time. “The same study found that around one in five injury collisions involving an unregistered vehicle also involved an unauthorised driver. “These drivers have no right to be behind the wheel, either because of their previous unsafe behaviour or because they are unlicensed. “We’re determined to detect them and get them off our roads and ANPR is a big step forward in that effort.” Have you signed up to the Bendigo Advertiser's daily newsletter and breaking news emails?

BENDIGO will get the first patrol car equipped with automatic number plate recognition technology as country Victoria’s police officers grapple with the lion’s share of road trauma fatalities.
The technology's rollout would prioritise rural and regional areas, which had attracted about 70 per cent of the state's road fatalities over recent years, road police assistant commissioner Stephen Leane said.
A total of 27 people died on rural Victorian roads up to February 12 this year, compared to 10 in Melbourne, according to the latest TAC online data.
Bendigo Highway Patrol will take possession of Victoria Police’s first ANPR car on Monday, Assistant Commissioner Leane said.
The technology was “light-years” away from current technology, he said, which forced officers to put their head down and manually enter number plate details into an in-car computer, then wait for a response.
It meant the officer in the passenger’s seat lost their capacity to scan traffic and “do what they do best,” Assistant Commissioner Leane said.
UNAUTHORISED drivers around Bendigo will find it much harder to flout the law when the first car equipped with Victoria Police’s new automatic number plate recognition system hits the road.
The car is the first of 221 units to be deployed across the state over the next two years.
Bendigo officers will begin fully operational patrols with the unit next Tuesday.
ANPR units scans number plates and matches them against a database of vehicles of interest. The system allows 5000 vehicles to be scanned per shift.
Road Policing Command Assistant Commissioner Stephen Leane said a study of fatal collisions in 2016 found that unauthorised drivers were at fault 16 per cent of the time.
“The same study found that around one in five injury collisions involving an unregistered vehicle also involved an unauthorised driver.
“These drivers have no right to be behind the wheel, either because of their previous unsafe behaviour or because they are unlicensed.

The most famous left-hander to graduate from Hesperia High School’s windswept, sun-baked campus was arguably Derrin Ebert, a pitcher who toiled under Scorpion coach Bob Gradillas in the early 1990s and worked his way up to the major leagues with the Atlanta Braves.
But one Jaden Shackelford — he of the feathery shooting touch — is giving Ebert a run for his money.
Shackelford is a 6-foot-3, 175-pound scoring machine who has been burning up High Desert courts since he was a freshman and who Wednesday is scheduled to sign his letter-of-intent to play at Alabama.
Tossetti was a long-time assistant to former Cal State San Bernardino coach Jeff Oliver. Ironically, he now has the type of player he could not lure to Cal State.
Shackelford is a three-star recruit who is ranked 135th in the nation and 32nd in the state by Rivals.com.
Now this is where the story gets weird. The Hesperia star has an alter ego, said father Anthony Shackelford, a former Los Angeles gang member who now trains athletes and is also youth mentor for Abundant Living Family Church of the High Desert.
Shackelford is of both African-American and Dutch descent, probably explaining the handle of his alt ego.
History agrees. Shackelford has been scoring in double figures and making at least 40 percent of his 3-point tries since he entered high school as a freshman at Oak Hills. However, following a successful sophomore season at Oak Hills, he chose to travel across the freeway and enroll at rival Hesperia.
“I wanted a better situation and a better opportunity,” he said.
Watched closely on the AAU circuit, Shackelford was pursued vigorously by Oregon State, Kansas State, Gonzaga, Pepperdine and Alabama, with the Tide finally winning out. Evans isn’t fretting about the player’s skill set.

Sa. three mullets or, a chief ar.
Listed in many forms such as Dowsett, Dossett, Dosset, and Dossit, and dialects Dorset and Dorsett, this is an English surname. It has two likely origins. The first is a nickname from the post-1066 Norman-French word “doucet,” a shortened form of the Old French “doux or dous,” which means sweet to the eye. It, in later Middle English, became dowcet. As a nickname, this name would have applied to one considered to be especially agreeable in disposition, or probably given the robust humor of the period – the complete reverse. The second possible origin is from the division name of Dorset or originally Doreset. This name was often ‘mangled’ in pronunciation, and therefore became both combined and confused with ‘doucet.’ Early examples of the surname records derived from remaining rolls and records contain Walter fils Dussote in the Hundred Rolls for London of the year 1273, Geoffrey de Dorsete of Somerset, in the same rolls for 1273, John Dousete of London in 1376, and Francis Dorcett of London in 1545. Robert Dorset was a scholar at Oxford University in 1572, while the wedding of Thomas Dowsett and Eme Bowman noted at St. Mary Somerset, in the city of London, in July 1586.
The surname Dorset first appeared in Wiltshire where they held a family seat from very ancient times. Some say well before the Norman Invasion and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 AD.
The very first recording spelling of the family was shown to be that of John Dousot, dated about 1315, in the “Feet of Fines of Huntingdonshire.” It was during the time of King Edward II who was known to be the “Edward of Caernafor,” dated 1307 – 1327. The origin of surnames during this period became a necessity with the introduction of personal taxation. It came to be known as Poll Tax in England.
Individuals with the surname Dorset landed in the United States in three different centuries respectively in the 17th, 18th, and 19th. Some of the people with the name Dorset who arrived in the United States in the 17th century included John Dorset settled in Virginia in 1643.
The following century saw more Dorset surnames arrive. Some of the people with the surname Dorset who arrived in the United States in the 19th century included James Dorset settled in Monmouth County New Jersey arriving from Bermuda.
Some of the population with the surname Dorset who arrived in New Zealand in the 19th century included John MU Dorset landed in Wellington, New Zealand in the year 1839. Edward Dorset landed in New Plymouth, New Zealand in 1840 aboard the ship London. William Dorset landed in Wellington, New Zealand in 1840. William Dorset arrived in Wellington, New Zealand aboard the ship “London” in the year 1840. George Dorset at the age of 31, arrived in Wellington, New Zealand aboard the ship “Schiehallion” in the year 1872.
Here is the population distribution of the last name Dorset: United States 337; England 253; New Zealand 118; Trinidad and Tobago 84; Australia 45; Saint Kitts and Nevis 26; Canada 25; Denmark 20; France 2; India 2.
Ray Dorset was a British guitarist, musician, and composer.
The two main devices (symbols) in the Dorset blazon are the mullet and chief. The three main tinctures (colors) are sable, or and argent .
The heraldic mullet, not to be confused with the fish of that name, is shown as a regular, five pointed star. This was originally, not an astronomical object, but represented the spur on a horseman’s boot, especially when peirced, with a small circular hole in the centre it represents a type of spur known as a “rowel” 9Boutell’s Heraldry, J.P. Brooke-Little, Warne, (revised Edition) London 1970, P 97. A clear example can be found in the arms of Harpendene, argent, a mullet pierced gules. The ancient writer Guillim associated such spurs in gold as belonging to the Knight, and the silver to their esquires 10A Display of Heraldry, J. Guillim, Blome, London, 1679, P107. In later years, Wade linked this five pointed star with the true celestial object, the estoile and termed it a “falling star”, symbolising a “divine quality bestowed from above” 11The Symbolisms of Heraldry, W. Cecil Wade, George Redway, London, 1898 P105.
The chief is an area across the top of the field 12Boutell’s Heraldry, J.P. Brooke-Little, Warne, (revised Edition) London 1970, P 40. It appears in many different forms and can itself be charged with other charges and ordinaries, 13A Glossary of Terms used in British Heraldry, J.H. Parker, Oxford, 1894, Entry:Chief, being treated almost as if it were a completely separate area. In its simplest form it can be clearly identified. Early examples include the award by Henry III of England to the knight Robert de MORTEYN BRETON of Ermine, a chief gules.

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day, Nick and Steev are back; and this time it’s time to talk about time.
Predictable chunks of time such as minutes, evenings and weeks can find a way of either running away from us or conversely wear out their welcome. For example: the long and possibly rose-tinted summer holidays of childhood stretched out ahead of us back then in a rather similar way to being trapped at a boring party now. Or worse still, a meeting.
The cud is chewed until the flavour has all gone and gets repackaged as supermarket value brand tea. We also manage to keep the language clean and Steev lets slip his billion-dollar vision for meetings of the future.

Prophet Chris Okafor is the Founder and General Overseer of Mountain Of Liberation And Miracle Ministries (a.k.a Liberation City), with headquarters in Lagos, Nigeria. He is notorious for his controversial miracles which includes calling fire down from ‘heaven’ and making blood come out of his worshipers’ head. Recently it was reported that Dr. Chris subjects his church members to flogging and assault whenever they go against his instructions. However, the new generation prophet is in a serious trouble with his wife, Bessem Okafor.
Bessem Okafor, who has been separated from Dr Okafor for two years and lives apart from him, said she had gone to her former marital home a few weeks ago to visit her four kids who were in the custody of their father when trouble started.
A few hours after her children had left for school, Bessem received a phone call from Chris who had also left the house. He allegedly questioned her presence in the house and ordered her to leave.
When Bessem insisted on staying till her children returned from school, Chris allegedly sent a policeman who was part of his entourage to the house.
She said some policemen came to arrest her, but could not go with them because her clothes were torn. The following day after making a complaint of assault at the Isheri Police Division, she was hospitalised at the Solid Rock Hospital, in the Ojodu/Berger area.
A copy of her medical report made available to Punch said Bessem was brought in for treatment after a brawl with her spouse.
The report was signed by one Dr. Ametepee T. M.
Chris, when contacted, did not respond to calls and a text message to his phone.

New York – At a rally today with thousands of workers and supporters, the Communications Workers of America announced that 86% of Verizon workers voted over the last two weeks to authorize a strike if necessary. The contract expires at 12 midnight on Saturday August 1 and covers 39,000 CWA and IBEW represented telephone workers from Massachusetts to Virginia.
“Our members are clear and they are determined – they reject management’s harsh concessionary demands, including the elimination of job security, sharp increases in workers' health care costs, and slashing retirement security. Verizon made $9.6 billion in profits in 2014, and reported $4.4 billion in profits just in the 2015 second quarter alone. Their demands are completely outrageous and unwarranted,” said Dennis Trainor, Vice President for CWA District One.
The union and its supporters also pointed to the company’s refusal to build out its state-of-the-art FiOS network and its lack of investment in maintaining the original copper network.
A damning audit of Verizon’s FiOS rollout in New York City found that Verizon has failed to meet its promise to deliver high-speed fiber optic internet and television to everyone in the city who wanted it. During its negotiations for a city franchise, Verizon promised that the entire city would be wired with fiber optic cables by June 2014 and that after that date, everyone who wanted FiOS would get it within six months to a year. The audit found that despite claiming that it had wired the whole city by November 2014, Verizon systematically continues to refuse orders for service. The audit also found that Verizon stonewalled the audit process.
In addition, rates for basic telephone service have increased in recent years, even as Verizon has refused to expand their broadband services into many cities and rural communities, and service quality has greatly deteriorated. Verizon’s declining service quality especially impacts customers who cannot afford more advanced cable services, or who live in areas with few options for cable or wireless services.
In 2005, New York’s Public Service Commission (PSC) eliminated automatic fines for Verizon’s telephone service quality failures, reasoning that “competition” would improve services. Instead, service quality plunged. In the 3rd quarter of 2010, Verizon cleared only 1.2% of out of service complaints within 24 hours, almost 79 percentage points lower than the PSC’s 80% requirement. Rather than reverse course, the PSC changed its measurements, cutting out 92% of customers from service quality measurements and consolidating 28 repair service bureaus into 5 regions. On paper, terrible service quality was almost miraculously transformed. In reality, service quality continued to decline.
"The 2.5 million members of the New York State AFL-CIO will stand side by side and shoulder to shoulder with our brothers and sisters of CWA and IBEW in their fight for fairness," said Mario Cilento, President of the New York State AFL-CIO. "It is through their hard work and dedication that Verizon continues to rake in huge profits. Yet bargaining proposals offered by Verizon punish workers by taking away job security, reducing pension benefits, and increasing health care costs. The dedicated men and women of CWA and IBEW deserve better. Our brothers and sisters will have the full resources of the NYS AFL-CIO at their disposal until a fair contract is reached."
39,000 workers are currently negotiating new contracts at Verizon. Fortune Magazine ranked Verizon the 15th largest corporation in America in 2014, with revenues of $127 billion, profits of $9.6 billion, and market capitalization of $198.4 billion. Verizon had profits of $28 billion over the last five years, and paid its top five executives $249 million during that time.
On July 21st, Verizon reported profits of $4.4 billion in 2Q2015 on revenues of $32.2 billion. The company also reported that during the first six months of 2015 it has paid out over $9.3 billion to shareholders in dividends and stock buybacks, an increase of almost $5.8 billion over the first half of last year. In the Wireline division, Operating Cash Flow rose to 23.5%, and operating income doubled, from 2.6% to 5.3%. FiOS continues to expand and succeed, now constituting 79% of Verizon consumer revenues on the wireline side, and achieving penetration rates of 35.7% for video and 41.4% for internet in markets where it is competing.
Elimination of long-standing job security protections including protections against layoffs and forced transfers.
Sharply increasing health care cost contributions. Higher deductibles, co-pays and premium sharing. Remove the union’s right to negotiate over retiree health care.
Vastly increasing ability to contract out of work.
Eliminate Accident Disability Plan for workers injured on the job.
Eliminate 20-year old Family Care Leave policy.

Georgetown, Kentucky (August 3, 2018) — The heat is on, but it's not all from the summer sun. The next generation 2019 Lexus ES 350 is roaring off the production line in Georgetown, Kentucky, and drivers will soon have a chance to burn up the streets in this game-changing vehicle.
"We've implemented the all-new Lexus Global Architecture platform," said Susan Elkington, president, Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Kentucky, Inc., (TMMK). "The 2019 ES starts with a newly developed, more rigid chassis and delivers class-leading handling and power you can feel and hear."
Combined with a tenacious commitment to craftsmanship – the foundation of Lexus manufacturing – the new ES also ups the ante on comfort and luxury. "We strive to capture the Lexus mindset with every vehicle we build. We craft in quality, innovation, and delight for all the senses, for every customer."
Lexus team members at the company's U.S. facility spent more than 150,000 hours training to build the ES model that delivers a fundamentally higher level of performance than its predecessors. That includes sensory training that teaches assemblers, for instance, to feel for an abnormality as minute as a thread of hair.
"After extensive sensory training, our team members rely on sight, sound and touch to know that the craftsmanship of the car is of the highest standard," said Mike Bridge, Lexus assistant general manager. "A machine can't make those judgments, and that's why we take so much time to train before a new model goes into production."
Bridge said an example of this sensory training can be seen in body weld, where team members are taught to feel gap differences measured in fractions as little as 0.3 millimeters. "This is equal to the thickness of three sheets of paper and can be felt even with gloves on," he said.
In 2016, after just one year of production, the Lexus line received the Platinum award – a tie with Toyota's Kyushu 2 plant in Japan – in the J.D. Power & Associates' Initial Quality Study, representing the highest-performing assembly plant in the world for initial quality. The Kentucky Lexus plant has been among the highest J.D. Power rankings every year since.
"Because of the team we have here in Georgetown, and all that has been accomplished in just three years since initially launching Lexus," said Lentz, "we're confident our Lexus customers will Experience Amazing each time they get behind the wheel of a Kentucky-assembled ES."

The Balloon Inflation and Launch Shelter (BILS) is a low cost, semi-automatic system providing a shelter for preparation and launching of radiosondes and sounding balloons for upper air observations. It is compatible with a variety of commercial radiosondes. The BILS is ideal for either ground or roof mounting.
The Balloon Inflation and Launch Shelter (BILS) is a low cost system providing a shelter for preparation and launching of radiosondes and sounding balloons for upper air observations. It is compatible with most commercial radiosondes. The BILS is ideal for either ground or roof mounting.
Best design practices are used throughout the BILS so it will provide years of trouble free operation. Ground mounted BILS systems are typically set on concrete slabs and secured to J-bolts. It can also be mounted on rooftops having suitable concrete or steel structures. The BILS enclosure is made from seam welded aluminum plate, with an RF-transparent upper Plexiglass portion to permit GPS radiosondes to lock onto satellites prior to release. If the air foil option is installed, the overall width increases to 12′W). When the BILS door hatch is open, the overall length is 20′. However, with the door closed the building dimensions are 14′L x 8′W x 11′H (height to top of door), plus two feet on either end for the steel frame. Four eye hooks are provided on skid corners to permit crane lifting.
BILS-9004 Balloon Inflation and Launch Shelter (shown without optional air foils).
A steel base plate frame extends beyond the 14′L aluminum BILS inflation chamber, providing ample space for user-supplied helium gas tanks. In addition to providing tank storage, it adds mechanical rigidity to the system and permits flexible roof attachment. A fork lift can move the unit if necessary. At sites where the tank farm must be remote located for logistics, gas can be piped in. An adjustable helium gas regulator and solenoids control gas flow and a user-provided meter can log gas use.
The balloon inflation chamber is 8′ in diameter and 11′ high, and supports launching up to 800 gm balloons. The inside of this area is covered with a soft polyethylene sheathing curtain that protects the balloon from contact with sharp objects inside the inflation chamber. During inflation, a rubber gas line holds the balloon centered to eliminate contact between the balloon and the inflation chamber sheathing or the hatch roof.
An adjacent 8′W x 7′H x 5W L storage compartment with 36″ workbench provides an area for operators to keep out of inclement weather during balloon and radiosonde supply. A locker is provided for expendable and small tool storage. A door separates the inflation area from the storage compartment, and non-skid floors have drainage holes.
Inside the storage compartment is a combination system control and inflation panel, with an embedded processor. The system controller monitors various parameters such as air temperature and switches. It activates the roof hatch motor, cutter servos and gas solenoids for balloon and roof control.
Operators can prepare the radiosonde and sounding balloon train in the BILS storage compartment and then inflate, open the roof hatch and release the balloon either from within the storage compartment (locally) or remotely controlled via the RS-232 system interface. Each BILS system includes ALEX, a MS-Windows application that monitors system activity. It can be installed on a local or remote user-supplied PC that is connected to the system via RS-232. For example, this application can be run on a nearby forecast office PC providing critical balloon release timing window information.
The CPU monitors the status of the following switches: ventilation blower, roof open limit and open over travel, roof closed and closed over limit, balloon launch, gas and hatch locked. All wiring meets national electrical code requirements. If the Heater option is provided for use in colder climates, an exterior weatherproof circuit breaker/junction box is provided for 208/240 Vac connection to customer AC mains. Otherwise the system plugs into a standard 110V outlet.
The roof hatch is locked in the open position by a safety locking solenoid. Door hatch travel and position detection is made via a precision analog position sensor and motor speed is slowed nearing the end travel. If the system detects over travel it requires a manual reset.
Balloon neck release is controlled by a servo linked to the system embedded controller via a fiber optic link. An emergency manual local manual safety override is provided. In addition to RS-232 remote control, local balloon release and roof pushbutton controls are mounted on the control panel inside the storage compartment. The RS-232 interface provides system status in near real time including current roof position, inside and outside temperature, and critical fault conditions such as roof actuator failure.
The roof hatch is curved to shed snow and is controlled by a widely available COTS weatherproof electromechanical ball screw capable of more than a 2000 lb. load. This reliable internal ball screw roof motor drive provides an added level of safety as the system controller monitors motor current to detect a jam conditions and halts roof motion. Although the roof cannot be moved without removing the ball screw drive, a separate solenoid latches the roof in the open position to permit safe maintenance.
Four internal blower fans aspirates outdoor air through nonconductive ducting. Inflation chamber and outdoor air temperature is monitored. An outside 70 watt high pressure sodium lamp provides general area illumination near the door area and is under photocell control. Inside the storage compartment and the inflation chamber are sealed, low temperature rated, weatherproof florescent lamps for area lighting.
For convenience, 110Vac 15A electrical outlets are provided in the inflation chamber, storage compartment and outside.
The BILS was initially developed by the National Center for Atmospheric Research and several systems were delivered to NWS research offices in the mid 1990s. Its goal is to semi-automate labor intensive human-operated soundings. In 1998, YES received a Phase II SBIR award from the United States Department of Energy to develop a fully-automated radiosonde launcher for 600 gm balloons (Models ARL-9000/MERV-9200.) In 2003, YES received a SBIR award from NOAA to develop a semi automated, single radiosonde launch system. YES engineers worked to adapt the original NCAR BILS to address weatherability and provide compatibility with NWS′ evolving Radiosonde Replacement System and new GPS radiosonde technology.
Width increases to 12.5′ when air foil option is installed.
All-metal construction provides lighting protection via chassis.
≤ 45 mph operational, 120 MPH storage with suitable tiedowns 30 lbs./sq. ft static roof snow load. 40 lbs./sq. ft floor loads.

text: Today, our first day outside the confines of English Harbor, we motored to an anchorage inside the reef of Green Island, which lies just off the coast of Antigua. After Captain Steve navigated out of the narrow entrance of English Harbor, he handed the helm of Argo over to the students, Becca, Mark, and Jack to steer us on the two hour passage to Green Island. Almost as soon as we cleared the harbor we encountered the first of many rain squalls we would encounter during the day, and with the increased winds and waves there was a noticeable change in the mood of the crew as stomachs began to turn. Despite a few donations of today’s breakfast back to the sea, we made it through the treacherous channel through the reef to Green Islands anchorage. As we began to enter the channel, visibility was reduced by another approaching squall and Captain Steve decided not to risk the boat and crew by entering under less than ideal conditions. After jogging into the wind while the storm passed we made our way through the winding channel and Captain Steve’s precautions were proven valid as we passed a smaller sailboat wrecked on the reef. Once anchored, the majority of the students took the dingy into the beach for diving lessons. After the lessons, we enjoyed another great dinner. After dinner we had our first class of the trip which was Oceanography.

A QUANTIZYME® Assay System. The MMP-13 Fluorometric (also known as fluorimetric) Drug Discovery Kit is a complete assay system designed to screen inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13, collagenase-3) using a quenched fluorogenic peptide: OMNIMMP® fluorogenic substrate Mca-Pro-Leu-Gly-Leu-Dpa-Ala-Arg-NH. Mca fluorescence is quenched by the Dpa group until cleavage by MMPs at the Gly-Leu bond separates the two moieties. The assays are performed in a convenient 96-well microplate format. The kit is useful to screen inhibitors of MMP-13, a potential therapeutic target. Included are active enzyme, assay buffer, a prototypic control inhibitor (NNGH3), and a detailed instruction booklet.
Contents: MMP-13 enzyme (human) (recombinant), substrate, calibration standard, inhibitor, assay buffer, 96-well white microplate.

A. The Energy Dashboard provides insight into current costs and usage information down to 15-minute increments. When you log in for the first time, you will begin receiving weekly and monthly email summaries of your Dashboard. You can also sign up to receive text and email alerts regarding budget and usage spikes.
Q. What is a smart grid?
A. Smart grid technology is a state-of-the-art upgrade managing electricity systems. Adding digital technologies ties together the pieces of an electric system, resulting in better reliability and improved efficiencies. It also provides more detailed energy usage information to customers. The smart grid enables you to monitor your daily energy use and cost information, in order to better understand your electric bill and usage behavior. It will also allow the introduction of a number of new programs and services for the customer. Smart grid technology also enables customers to start, stop and transfer service without the need for a service person to visit their home, which greatly reduces the time to complete the request.
Q. Is the meter safe?
A. Each meter is inspected according to American National Standards Institute safety standards to ensure it meets or exceeds those standards.
Q. Do I pay for the digital meter?
A. No. The installation and the use of the dashboard are included in your service at no additional charge.
Q. Does this meter control items/appliances in my home?
A. No. Just like the meter on your home or business before, the upgraded meter only measures the amount of electricity usage for the entire home.
Q. Will Westar control my usage?
No. Just like the meter on your home or business before, the new digital meter only measures the amount of electrical usage for the entire home. The new meter does improve Westar's ability to offer voluntary programs that can help customers better manage their electric service and usage. Customers can choose if they want to participate.
Q. Does this control my air conditioning unit?
A. No. The upgraded digital meter only measures whole-house electrical usage. The WattSaver Thermostat is a completely separate voluntary program with which customers can help reduce their peak demand. Contact the WattSaver hotline at 1.888.753.6523 for more details.
Q. Do I get a different rate for having the new meter?
A. Your Westar rate remains the same. The digital meter will make energy use and cost information available to you online if you have interest. The new digital meter upgrade provides the foundation for customers to have additional choices for rate plans and payment structures that we are unable to offer with the existing technology.
Q. What if I am not home during the installation?
A. If no one is home, a Westar Energy employee will leave an informational pamphlet on your door and install the upgraded meter.
Q. How long does the installation take? Will I be without power? How long?
A. The typical installation will take about 10 minutes. You will be without electricity for only 3-4 minutes. In certain situations, installation may take longer due to the age of the previous meter or other equipment issues.

I really like opening the day with an open question. They’ve been kind of easy to think of so far. But, what about conics? What’s a good group of open questions that can be used with conic section lessons? Before I could think of that, I really had to look at the new standards for Conics. In doing that, I realized I really hadn’t examined exactly what the kids are supposed to learn. So, I had to research and think about that for a while first.
I did a little research about conic section topics and standards that need to be covered in Algebra 2. I checked this publication on the California Dept. of Education website: California Common Core State Standards for Mathematics. You’ve probably all seen it, if you’ve been working in California.
Um… okay. Let me think about that. first of all, is this the same or different for what we’ve been doing at my school for teaching conics. Do we need to address the directrix and focus or foci? Because, I talk about those whenever I talk about conics. Even when introducing them in Geometry.
2. Derive the equation of a parabola given a focus and directrix.
In the past, I taught about the foci of an ellipse and parabola and hyperbola. Last year, we didn’t test on graphing hyperbolas. According to the Algebra 2 standard above, it seems like it’s all four, except for that part in the brackets. Is that only for other States? I needed to find out. After all, I’m serving on a County wide committee to discuss teaching this class and we should really know what those apparently contradictory statements mean. The bold is supposed to be California.
Next, what will the lessons be? Then, I checked the NCTM website, Teachers Pay Teachers the NRICH websites for ideas related to those standards. And, of course, Desmos. Well, on the day I had to start the topic, I didn’t have a good ‘open question’ opener. I just asked kids about the equation of a parabola, in vertex form. I asked about the equation of a circle. I put it on the board. I asked if they’d seen that before. I asked them to notice that there’s a x-squared and a y-squared term. I asked if that meant it’s a function. So, it was a weak start compared to what I would have liked. But, it was the day before break and my goal was to introduce conic sections. I had them watch this Conics video from YouTube This was pretty much a vocabulary lesson with a graphic that was pretty good for getting them to understand the basic concept of what conic sections are.
Then, the fun began… as they started to use the Desmos activity, Polygraphs: Conics, found here. Now, I’m figuring out my unit plan. I have the week off. I plan to find open questions, interesting activities and relevant homework for them. Something that spirals old stuff, too. I plan to write more about it, too…. Ideas?

Our aim is to open up a new world of opportunities for our students where they are encouraged to aim high and every student can strive for his or her personal best. At St Columba we foster and encourage independent thinking, a commitment to the community, and excitement for knowledge and learning, in a supportive and enriching environment.
Students in Secondary School are encouraged to push boundaries, grow in self-confidence and improve their performance whilst working collaboratively to create a strong community. The notion of partnership underpins all school relationships with Secondary School students working towards interdependence. They develop self-confidence, high self esteem, a commitment to personal excellence based on a positive set of values and respect for the values of others, and a sense of responsibility both to self and to the wider community. The pastoral care program is delivered by classroom teachers, House Tutors and Year Patrons, assisted by the Head of the Secondary School and Chaplain, to ensure the well-being of each student.
The mostly traditional academic model offered at the School encompasses a wide range of subject choices within the Board of Studies Approved Course framework. Some Vocational and Category B subjects are also on offer to our Senior cohort. The academic program is complemented by an eclectic range of extra-curricular experiences and collegial support from our staff.
Students graduate knowing they have established life-long friendships with the staff as well as their peers. They graduate as individuals whose hopes, dreams and ambitions are known and supported by sound work habits and solid values. They are prepared for the ever changing world which they will face, knowing that they are willing and able to continue to learn throughout their lives wherever they may find themselves.

The NT8 2.3 release introduces "Flexible Fingers", which help the NT8 detect the the optimal z-height of each tip during aspirations and dispenses, as well as liquid detection sensors and an enhanced look and feel to the software.
Support for Additional Deep Well Plate Types. The NT8 now supports additional types of deep well plates. Choosing the appropriate type of deep well plate enables the NT8 to more accurately aspirate the solution from the plate. You can also manually edit deep well plate definitions. For best results, please make sure that the deep well plate definition matches the actual plate in use. Note: Deep well plates are only used in plate copy experiments, which require the plate copy attachment.
Low Volume Tip Count Monitoring. The NT8 now monitors the number of low volume (LV) tips available. If you are trying to run an experiment that requires more tips than are available, the NT8 software displays a dialog box telling you how many are available and how many more tips you need.
Support for More Display Aspect Ratios. The NT8 software now supports more display aspect ratios. You can now seamlessly resize the software window without display issues. We recommend a 16:9 screen aspect ratio.
Flexible Finger Controls. The NT8 now has a flexible finger feature for more accurate dispensing. Before dispensing, the NT8 will automatically detect the Z adjustment value/position, which is used as a clearance between LV tips and the plate. The NT8 will adjust the fingers as necessary. The flexible finger control can be found in the lower-right of the microplate Task Details dialog.
Note: The LV tips attachment sensor indicators will turn off when the NT8 is ready for dispensing.
Liquid Detection Sensors . The NT8 is now equipped with the liquid detection sensors on each of the high volume (HV) tip attachments. The system will automatically check the wells for liquid before aspirating.
Rock Maker Integration Application. The NT8 now seamlessly integrates with Rock Maker allowing you to load and run an experiment from Rock Maker*.
*Rock Maker version 2.4 or later required.
User Interface Improvements. The NT8 user interface was improved to reflect the latest NT8 hardware platform. Below are some NT8 interfaces before (bottom) and after (top) the changes.

The department of School Education & Literacy is taking several steps to make school education job-oriented and qualitative. The Department is implementing a component of Vocationalisation of Secondary & Higher Secondary Education under Centrally sponsored scheme of Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) with an aim to prepare educated, employable and competitive youth for various sectors of the economy and global market. It also envisages to fill the gap between educated and employable, reduce the dropout rate at the secondary level and decrease the pressure on academic higher education. The scheme involves introduction of job-oriented vocational subjects in sectors like Retail, Automobile, Agriculture, Telecommunication, Healthcare, Beauty & Wellness, IT-ITes, Electronics, Security, Media & Entertainment, etc. along with the general education subjects from class IX to class XII.
For granting academic equivalence to students of Industrial training Institutes (ITIs) affiliated with National Council for Vocational Training (NCVT), Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed by National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS), an autonomous organisation of Ministry of Human Resource Development with the Directorate General of Training, Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship on 15th July, 2016. The MoU provides a mechanism for grant of Secondary and Senior Secondary certificate to ITI students/passouts who have pursued two years of ITI course, after class 8th and 10th respectively.
(vi) Special teaching for learning enhancement.
Under Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), the State Governments and UT Administrations are supported on several interventions to improve teaching standards, including regular in-service teachers’ training, induction training for newly recruited teachers, training of untrained teachers to acquire professional qualifications, additional teachers for improving pupil-teacher ratio, academic support for teachers through block and cluster resource centres, continuous and comprehensive evaluation to equip the teacher to measure pupil performance and provide remedial action wherever required, and teacher and school grants for development of appropriate teaching-learning materials, etc. The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009 specifies statutory duties and responsibilities of teachers and lays down the minimum qualifications for a person to be eligible for appointment as a teacher in elementary schools. Under SSA, textbooks are provided to all children in Government/Local Body and Government aided schools, including Madarsas desirous of introducing the State curriculum, within an upper ceiling of Rs. 150/-per child at primary level and Rs. 250/- per child at upper primary level. The SSA norms also provide for 2 Sets of uniforms to children from the deprived community viz. all girls, SC, ST and BPL boys, @ Rs. 400 per head. It also supports States/UTs on early grade reading, writing & comprehension, and early Mathematics programmes through a sub-programme namely ‘Padhe Bharat Badhe Bharat’ (PBBB) in classes I and II.
Further the Government has launched Rashtriya Aavishkar Abhiyan (RAA) programme on 09.07.2015, inter alia, as a sub-component of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan and RMSA to motivate and engage children of the age group of 6-18 years in Science, Mathematics and Technology through observation, experimentation, inference drawing, model building, etc. both through inside and outside classroom activities.
For improving the quality of school education, the School Standards & Evaluation framework, known as ‘Shaala Siddhi’ has been developed by National University of Educational Planning and Administration (NUEPA), to enable schools to evaluate their performance in a more focused and strategic manner and to facilitate them to make professional judgments for improvement.
In order to improve quality of education, the National Council of Educational Research & Training (NCERT) conducts periodic national surveys of learning achievement of children in grade III, V, VIII and X. Four rounds of National Achievement Survey (NAS) have been conducted so far for grade V and three rounds for classes III & VIII. These reveal improvement in learning achievement levels of pupils, in identified subjects from first round to fourth round. From the current year onwards, the Government has decided to conduct annual National Achievement Surveys covering all students from class 1-8 in all Government and Government aided schools. The students learning assessment will be according to the Learning Outcomes developed by NCERT for all subjects covering all classes in the elementary cycle.
