Planning During the Internship: A Study of the Planning Practices of Preservice English Teachers
Hessong Grove, Rebecca M.
MetadataShow full item record
This collective case study investigated the planning practices of six English education interns during the full time internship, including planning for edTPA. Research and professional standards emphasize the importance of planning, as it undergirds every aspect of what happens in a classroom. By understanding how interns learn to plan, teacher educators can better facilitate interns' development of planning skills. Using activity theory as a theoretical framework, this study describes how interns' planning practices changed over the course of the internship and identifies factors that influenced changes. Data sources included lesson plans, interviews with interns and mentors, and edTPA lesson plans. Findings showed most interns did not write detailed daily plans, but those who did experienced fewer planning and teaching struggles. Communication and feedback from the mentor were major factors in creating successful plans and planning routines. Three of the interns began writing more detailed plans to improve their teaching, motivated by a desire to be more organized and effective. All interns wrote detailed, formal plans for edTPA, and these plans included elements that were not part of typical written plans, such as differentiation and formative assessment. Other areas of change included increased planning for scaffolding and addressing students' confusion. Graduate interns expressed increased confidence in planning student-centered lessons. Factors that influenced such changes included experience, mentor guidance, and support from a methods course. Interns also drew on their increasing knowledge of students and district curriculum to plan relevant lessons. Interns consistently planned at the whole-class level, with little evidence of planning for individual learning. This study has implications for teacher educators aiming to strengthen candidates' planning practices. Programs must facilitate proactive mentoring and structured co-planning. Pre-service coursework should help candidates integrate student-centered pedagogy, formative assessment, and differentiation into lesson plans. The impact of internship length and undergraduate vs. graduate program structures must be investigated further. Finally, this study indicates that planning for edTPA was educative for interns. This, along with other findings, suggests that more formal planning can improve intern learning and program coherence.


Are Skydiving and Parajumping the Same Thing
Are Skydiving and Parajumping the Same Thing?
Are skydiving and parajumping the same thing? That's a pretty common question and since the terms are often used interchangeably it just adds to the confusion. Both parajumping and skydiving use the exact same but there are some differences between the two. Skydiving is really for more experienced jumpers but that doesn't answer the question as to the difference between the two. Let's explore parajumping and skydiving and you can decide which you would rather try.
Parajumping is something that almost anybody in reasonably good health can do. You and a friend can both try parajumping for the first time together and schools will even offer up discounts for first timers or for charity events. There will still be some instruction that you will have to go through first where you are taught about your equipment and safety. On the day of the jump you will still do a run through to make sure that all of your equipment is in working order.
For the first jump you will probably do Static Line Parajumping, that means that your parachute will be pulled automatically when you jump out of the plane. The parachute is attached to the inside of the plane so that when you exit it is pulled. The military also uses this type of parajumping, when you see soldiers in a row all leaving a plane they are static line jumping. Here is a look at static line jumping.
Now let's look at skydiving. While the terms have been used interchangeably skydiving is slightly different. You do use the exact same gear but when you exit the plane the parachute is manually pulled by you. During the time you exit the plane until you pull the rip cord you are in free fall. You are quite literally falling through the air and you can reach speeds of more than 100mph as you descend. For many jumpers this is the thrill they are chasing and what they love most about the sport. Free falling is what separates parajumping from skydiving and it requires more training and experience than just parajumping alone.
If you have never jumped before and still want the thrill of a free fall then you can try skydiving while in tandem with an instructor or experienced jumper. You will still have the thrills you want without having to worry about remembering to pull the cord. No matter your preference the experience is still thrilling.
Essential Parajumping Gear
Essential Parajumping Gear
Parajumping or skydiving isn't just getting on a plane, jumping off and letting gravity do the rest of the work, it is about surviving and enjoying the jump. In order to do that you need the right training and equipment. Thrill seekers and adrenaline junkies have been jumping from planes for decades but for the most part they all take whatever precautions they can to make sure it is done safely. Here are some of the essential parajumping gear that you are going to need.
 1. The Parachute
Hands down, the parachute is most essential piece of equipment that you are going to need. The parachute is what slows you down and allows you to reach the ground at a reasonable speed that you can survive. Most jumpers also have a backup parachute in case something happens. Unless you are really passionate about jumping and do it several times per month you will probably rent one from the drop zone. It is cheaper and easier than maintaining your own.
 1. Jumpsuits
Jumping and traveling at those speeds exposes you to the elements, particularly strong winds and cold, you can't jump wearing just anything. A good jumpsuit is wind resistant, will help keep you warm and protect your body. Landing can also be rough and the jumpsuit will help protect you from getting scratched or cut when you land.
 1. Altimeter
If you want to free fall you will still need to pull your parachute once you reach a certain altitude in order to make sure you can safely land. If you wait too long the parachute won't slow you down enough and if you open too early you can rip your chute. The altimeter tells you the perfect time to pull the cord and open your parachute. If you ever plan on jumping at night then the altimeter is crucial to your survival.
 1. Pads and Helmets
It should go without saying that you need a helmet and other padding to save you from injury on landing. Helmets, elbow and knee pads are all essential but you might consider adding some type of spinal protection to your gear. If you land on your back then you definitely want protection.
Parajumping is an adrenaline rush that very few things compare to, it is defying the elements and the laws of physics and there is no feeling quite like it. But even defying the elements requires the right safety gear so you can live to jump another day.

As a historian I have seen lots of memorials in churches in Britain and Europe, but this is very unusual – possibly unique.
Tudor monuments often show effigies of the parents recumbent above of their children lined up in order of size, praying for them. Sons are generally on the left, and daughters on the right. But the furtherest – ie youngest – on the right here is a short haired character, so a son, with its arm through that of his sister who was probably his twin. It even shows him at a slight distance from her, as if being led by her.
This looks like a blind boy, which in turn begs the question of why this monument is so unusual. Given how many stories there are of blind people in the Bible, of blind people being noted as being in need of alms etc, why does this memorial stand out?
Was blindness ignored in effigies or were blind people kept out of sight, so were – apart from professional beggars – invisible?

Specialized root structures of bald cypress that grow vertically above water or moist soil. It is thought that these structures aid the oxygen/carbon dioxide exchange in the roots.
| Bald Cypress - knees
Montezuma Cypress - no knees
Q: I have bald cypress trees in my yard. The root nodules are becoming a problem with my lawn mower. Would it damage the trees if I trimmed them off at ground level? B.D., Dallas.
A: Yes, the knees are part of the root system. Change the area to mulch or ground cover and try to dry out the soil. The knees grow in overly moist soil.
QUESTION: I have a bald cypress, and the roots are coming out of the ground all around the yard. Some are close to the tree and some are far away. The roots come out of the ground for about 12 inches or less and then go back into the ground. How can I keep this from happening? Can I cut the roots that are already protruding without hurting the tree? K.E., Fort Worth
ANSWER: This is a characteristic of bald cypress. Their roots always do this to some degree, especially when the ground stays moist to wet. Improving the drainage and reducing your use of water will help, but the only way to eliminate the protruding roots is to remove the tree. I would suggest instead that you use mulch or plant a groundcover around the tree so you won't need to mow over or around cypress roots.

|Alternative names||Dorkunu, komi|
|Place of origin||West Africa|
|Main ingredients||Ground corn|
Kenkey or Dorkunu or Komi is a staple dish similar to a sourdough dumpling from the Akan, Ga and Ewe inhabited regions of West Africa, usually served with a soup, stew, or sauce. Areas where kenkey is eaten are southern Ghana, eastern Côte d'Ivoire, Togo, western Benin, Guyana (where it is known as "konkee"), and Jamaica. It is usually made from ground corn (maize), like sadza and ugali. It is also known in Jamaica as dokunoo, dokono, dokunu, (the Asante refer to the same dish as 'Dɔkono' pronounced as 'Dorkono'), blue drawers, and tie-a-leaf. In the cuisine of the Caribbean, it is made with cornmeal, plantain, green banana, sweet potato(Asante and Jamaican version, which came from the Asanti version) or cassava, wrapped in banana leaves. The food is derived from African cooking traditions. Unlike ugali, making kenkey involves letting the maize ferment before cooking. Therefore, preparation takes a few days in order to let the dough ferment. After fermentation, the kenkey is partially cooked, wrapped in banana leaves, corn husks, or foil, and steamed. There are several versions of kenkey, such as Ga and Fante kenkey.
- 6-8 cups of corn (maize) flour or cornmeal (ground corn or ground maize); (White cornmeal is preferred, it should be finely ground, like flour. Latin American style corn flour, as is used in tortillas, tamales, pupusas, etc. is the right kind)
- Banana leaves, or maize or corn husks, or aluminum foil to wrap dough in (the leaves or husks may be available at African, Asian, or Latino groceries)
Fermented cornmeal dough
In a large container combine the corn flour (or corn flour and grated cassava) with just enough warm water to dampen all of it. Mix well. Cover the container with a clean cloth. Set it in a warm place, such as a warmed oven or on top of the refrigerator, for two to three days. Fermentation may take longer than two days, especially in cool climates. (Note: a warmed oven is an oven that has been heated for a few minutes then turned off. The flour should ferment, not cook.) When it is properly fermented, it should have a slightly sour, but not unpleasant, aroma, like rising bread dough. Overly fermented corn flour will not taste right.
Prepare the corn flour as described above, and let it ferment for about six hours. Then mix one tablespoon of vinegar into the wet corn flour.
Soak the dry corn in water. After three days drain and wash the corn in fresh water. Grind it and add some water to make it into a dough with a smooth surface. Keep it in a warm place to ferment for two to three days before using it to prepare the kenkey. Before using it for the preparation the moldy surface on top should be removed and discarded.
- Knead the fermented dough with your hands until it is thoroughly mixed.
- In a large pot, bring one cup of water to a boil. Slowly add one part of the fermented dough. Cook for about ten minutes, stirring constantly and vigorously. Remove from heat. This half of the dough is called the "aflata".
- Combine the "aflata" with the remaining uncooked dough. Mix well. The proportion of raw dough to aflata determines the softness of the kenkey after cooking.
- Divide the "aflata"and raw dough mixture into serving-sized pieces. Wrap the pieces tightly in banana leaf, maize or corn husks, or foil. Banana leaves are more flexible if they have been briefly warmed in a hot oven or a pot of boiling water. The wrapped dough should look like burritos or tamales. Cooking string can be used to tie the wrapping closed.
- Place the wrapped dough packets on a wire rack above water in a large pot. Bring to a boil and steam for one to three hours, depending on their size and thickness. Serve room-temperature.
- Ga Kenkey is usually served hot with a red pepper sauce made of grounded chili pepper, onions and tomatoes; and a black pepper sauce locally called shito.
- Fante Kenkey is usually served warm with tomato gravy or palaver sauce. It may also go with any fish, poultry, or meat dish from Western Africa. In Ghana, guests are often served Fante Kenkey with red pepper sauce and canned sardines or fried fish, especially if they have arrived unannounced or after the family's evening meals.
The water used in boiling the kenkey is used as a drink when a maize or corn husks is used as the wrapper for cooking the kenkey. This water is called otinshi nu.
Note: Ready-to-use fermented cornmeal dough made especially for banku and kenkey may be available at African grocery stores and should be prepared according to package instructions.

Poll: Parents want kids to avoid political careers

Poll: Parents want kids to avoid political careers
(CNN) – Parents often dream about their child's future, but a career in politics seems more like a nightmare to many.
Nearly two-thirds–64%–of Americans would not like their child to pursue a political career, compared to 31% who think that would be a good path, according to a Gallup survey released Friday.
That number has remained relatively consistent since Gallup began asking about sons and daughters in 1993. Those who approved of a career in politics for their child have fluctuated between 61% and 71%.
With the country recovering from a bitter presidential campaign and with the approval ratings of Congress hovering just above 10%, it's no surprise that parents want their children to avoid one of the least-liked professions among Americans.
A Gallup survey released last month showed Congress ranking last among 16 society institutions in terms of confidence levels from the American people. The military placed first, small business came in second, church and organized religion came in third and the presidency came in fourth.
Breaking it down by demographics, nonwhites are much more likely than whites to say they would like to see their child go into politics, according to Gallup. By a margin of 42% to 26%, nonwhites say they'd like their son to have a political career, and 45% to 25% say they'd like their daughter to do the same.
There is little difference between ideologies, though Democrats and independents are slightly more likely than Republicans to want their child to go into politics. Men are also a little bit more likely than women to want their sons and daughters to choose a politically-related career.
Interestingly, the numbers significantly change according to the order of the questions. Americans are much more likely to say they want their daughter or son to go into politics when they're asked about a daughter first. Thirty-seven percent say they'd like to see their daughter go into politics; when followed up with a question about a son going into politics, an equal amount say they would like that kind of future for their son.
However, when Gallup switched up the order and asked about a son first, the number of those wanting to see a son go into politics drops 12 percentage points to 25%. When asked about a daughter next, 26% said they would like their daughter to go into politics–also a sharp decrease.
Thirty-one percent marks the average of both genders when considering the order of the questions. Gallup says the answering trend has been consistent in the past.
"This suggests that Americans may be interpreting the question as one about gender equality when asked about a daughter first, and therefore that makes them more likely to favor a political career for their children of either sex," read a release that came with the poll. "When asked about a son first, Americans may interpret the question as more straightforward one about the desirability of a political career and are less likely to favor it for either a son or daughter in that circumstance."
While Gallup started asking about daughters in 1993, the polling institution has been questioning Americans about sons since 1944. Curiously, the number of those wanting to see their son go into politics has changed little since then, when it stood at 21%. The highest point ever was in 1965, when 36% said they wanted to see their son go into politics. This was a time when "Americans were still rallying around President Johnson after he took office following the death of John F. Kennedy," the release stated.
Gallup surveyed 2,048 American adults by telephone from June 20-24, with a sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points.

 The problem is with the question. Nobody should ever consider a "career" in politics, that's part of the problem with politics, and why there should be term limits.

 I would love for my child to have a career in politics. He can get paid $200,000 a year for doing nothing. I would tell him to ask for a raise everytime he need to take a vacation.

 You need consistency in politics,just like any other job. By the time you get good and develope relationships that cross the aisle.....you're gone because of some arbitrary time limit. No thanks. To much turmoil. Stop the moving of district lines to suit whoever is in power and we will get a fairer representation!

 That would also apply to the legal profession, then, as the corruption of politics comes directly from the corruption of the legal profession.
 The perfect example, resides in the WH, at this moment.

 I wouldn't mind my kids going into politics. I would like to be there to help them out as best I could hoping I wouldn't be a liability to them (weird dad who hopes that science and rational thinking guides policy). I don't think that they would only because they (and I) don't have the money for it. It takes too much money to run for office; even the local races cost too much.

 Well of course I wouldn't my kids to go into politics. When they are adults, I would hope they act would like adults.

Natural selection in populations subject to a migration load
Migration tends to oppose the effects of divergent natural selection among populations. Numerous theoretical and empirical studies have demonstrated that this migrationselection balance constrains genetic divergence among populations. In contrast, relatively few studies have examined immigration's effects on fitness and natural selection within recipient populations. By constraining local adaptation, migration can lead to reduced fitness, known as a migration load, which in turn causes persistent natural selection. We develop a simple two‐island model of migrationselection balance that, although very general, also reflects the natural history of Timema cristinae walking‐stick insects that inhabit two host plant species that favor different cryptic color patterns. We derive theoretical predictions about how migration rates affect the level of maladaptation within populations (measured as the frequency of less‐cryptic color‐pattern morphs), which in turn determines the selection differential (the within‐generation morph frequency change). Using data on color morph frequencies from 25 natural populations, we confirm previous results showing that maladaptation is higher in populations receiving more immigrants. We then present novel evidence that this increased maladaptation leads to larger selection differentials, consistent with our model. Our results provide comparative evidence that immigration elevates the variance in fitness, which in turn leads to larger selection differentials, consistent with Fisher's Theorem of Natural Selection. However, we also find evidence that recurrent adult migration between parapatric populations may tend to obscure the effects of selection.

Polarity Reference Channels: PostgreSQL Error Codes cover image
Today's post continues an ongoing series on Polarity User Tips. Data tells a story, Polarity helps you see it with Augmented Reality overlaying contextual information as you work, giving you the right data at the right time to make informed decisions and take action with speed (no glasses or goggles required). This guide explains how you can see the story in your data with Polarity using the PostgreSQL Error Codes Reference Channel.
Intro to Polarity Reference Channels
Polarity Channels are a way to organize Entities and Annotations into logical groups, such as all of your assets or your LinkedIn contacts.
Reference channels are a Polarity Channel that is based on another source of information that is used just for reference purposes by Polarity Users. Reference channels can be anything from a list of internal or external threats to a list of assets to the PostgreSQL Error Codes list.
Where to find Reference Channels
On the Polarity Github page, download the PostgreSQL Error Codes reference channel or browse our library of reference channels for better data awareness and recall.
What are PostgreSQL Error Codes?
The PostgreSQL Error Codes is a list of codes that help database users troubleshoot what is happening within the database. The codes range from things that help with queries that are causing issues to errors that have occurred when the database crashes.
PostgreSQL Error Codes Reference Channels in Polarity
Based on the list that Postgres publishes, we have put together a CSV that you can easily upload into Polarity as a reference channel. The reference channel will instantly map the error codes that Postgres provides to what the error code is allowing you to easily correct what is happening.
For example, when you are troubleshooting inside a virtual machine and see something on your screen like "42601" in the image below, you immediately have awareness of what the errors mean, allowing you to course-correct what you are working on without ever having to leave the terminal.
In this image, notice the highlighted error codes 42P01, 42703, or 42601 on the left. You can see that Polarity's computer vision recognized the text on screen, and in real-time while the analyst is working, it has provided contextual information from the PostgreSQL Error Code Reference Channel in the overlay window on the right.

How do you make a fruit cake moist?
How do you moisten a dry Christmas cake?
No matter what kind of cake you've made, if it turns out too dry, you can moisten it with an appropriately flavored liqueur or syrup. Use a skewer to poke holes every inch and a half or so, then use a pastry brush to paint on the liqueur or syrup getting more into the holes.
How do you make dry cake better?
Try one of these methods and rescue that dry cake. Microwave it. Moisten a paper towel, then place it on a microwave safe plate. Steam it. This methods works by placing your cake in a bain-marie. Revive it with simple syrup. Use the bread method. Use the apple method. Serve it with ice cream.
How do you preserve a fruit cake?
Fruitcake should be tightly wrapped and stored in a cool, dry place while aging. If you wrapped your cake in soaked cheesecloth, resoak the cloth once a week and age for six weeks to three months. Cakes simply wrapped in plastic wrap should be brushed with more alcohol every few days during the first two months.
Why is fruitcake so hated?

Which ingredient makes the cake soft?
Cake flour, which is more finely ground and contains less protein than its all-purpose counterpart, is a major contributor to how soft and the overall weight of a cake. Since cake flour has less protein, less gluten is formed. Without all of that gluten, the cake becomes less dense, airy, and smooth.
How do you moisten an overcooked cake?
Re-heat cake to moisten it Brush some milk or water over the top of the cake. Place caked in a 350ºF oven for 15–20 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
Why is my cake too dry?
The ratio of wet to dry ingredients determines a cake's moisture level. If there's simply too much flour and not enough butter, a cake will taste dry. On the other hand, if there's too much milk and not enough flour, a cake will taste too wet. Finding the right balance between wet and dry ingredients is key.
Why does fruit cake last so long?
Why Do Fruitcakes Last So Long? Fruitcake is a shelf-stable food unlike any other. All those dry ingredients don't give microorganisms enough moisture to reproduce, as Ben Chapman, a food safety specialist at North Carolina State University, explained in 2014. That keeps bacteria from developing on the cake.
Why is my fruit cake dry?
Often, over-baking a fruit cake is the cause of dry fruit cakes. A fruit cake must be baked at the right temperature. The too-high oven temperature will dry the cake. Follow the recipe closely, including baking times.

Why is my carrot cake dry?
One of the major reasons why your carrot cake is crumbly is the gluten content of your batter. Adding shredded carrots, nuts, raisins, and other ingredients to the batter affects the gluten that holds your carrot cake together. Gluten is a complex protein that affects the texture of dough.
What makes a cake light and fluffy?
Can I wrap Christmas cake in cling film?
Yes. For best results, wrap it well with cling film, then put it in a Ziplock bag or wrap it again with foil and store it in the freezer (usually for up to 6 months, though this dependes on the temperature of your freezer).
Why does my fruit cake crumble when cut?
Sugar attracts the moisture in the recipe, drawing it away from the flour and preventing the formation of gluten. However if too much sugar is present, the cake is so tenderised that gluten is unable to maintain the volume of the cake and it begins to crumble when cut.
How long does homemade fruit cake last?
two to three months

The neighborhood was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
The Corktown Historic District is largely residential, although some commercial properties along Michigan Avenue are included in the district.
The roots of Corktown lie in the Great Irish Potato Famine of the 1840s. The Irish immigrated to the United States in droves, and by the middle of the 19th century, they were the largest ethnic group settling in Detroit. Many of these newcomers settled on the west side of the city; they were primarily from County Cork, and thus the neighborhood came to be known as Corktown. By the early 1850s, half of the population of the 8th Ward (which contained Corktown) were of Irish descent. Historically, the neighborhood was roughly bounded by Third Street to the east, Grand River Avenue to the north, 12th Street to the west, and Jefferson Avenue/Detroit River to the south.
By the Civil War, German immigrants had begun making inroads into the Corktown neighborhood. By the turn of the century, the original Irish population had diffused through the city, and other immigrants, notably Mexican and Maltese, moved in. As the century progressed, southern migrants in the U.S. lured by the jobs in the automobile industry followed suit.
The residential section is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is designated as a City of Detroit Historic District. The neighborhood contains many newer homes and retains some original Irish businesses.
The original buildings in Corktown are Federal-style detached homes and rowhouses built by Irish settlers. A worker's row house circa 1840 is located on Sixth Street and is one of the oldest existing structures in the city of Detroit. In further years, modestly sized Victorian townhouses with Italianate, Gothic, and Queen Anne elements were constructed.

Qt Reference Documentation
QML Repeater Element
The Repeater element allows you to repeat an Item-based component using a model. More...
Inherits Item
 - List of all members, including inherited members
 - Properties
 Detailed Description
 The Repeater element is used to create a large number of similar items. Like other view elements, a Repeater has a model and a delegate: for each entry in the model, the delegate is instantiated in a context seeded with data from the model. A Repeater item is usually enclosed in a positioner element such as Row or Column to visually position the multiple delegate items created by the Repeater.
 import Qt 4.7
 Row {
 Repeater {
 model: 3
 Rectangle {
 width: 100; height: 40
 border.width: 1
 color: "yellow"
 The model of a Repeater can be any of the supported Data Models.
 Row {
 Repeater {
 model: 10
 The index and modelData properties
 The index of a delegate is exposed as an accessible index property in the delegate. Properties of the model are also available depending upon the type of Data Model.
 Here is a Repeater that uses the index property inside the instantiated items:
 Column {
 Repeater {
 model: 10
 Text { text: "I'm item " + index }
 Here is another Repeater that uses the modelData property to reference the data for a particular index:
 Column {
 Repeater {
 Text { text: "Data: " + modelData }
 Considerations when using Repeater
 The Repeater element creates all of its delegate items when the repeater is first created. This can be inefficient if there are a large number of delegate items and not all of the items are required to be visible at the same time. If this is the case, consider using other view elements like ListView (which only creates delegate items when they are scrolled into view) or use the Dynamic Object Creation methods to create items as they are required.
 Item {
 //XXX does not work! Can't repeat QtObject as it doesn't derive from Item.
 Repeater {
 model: 10
 QtObject {}
 Property Documentation
 read-onlycount : int
 This property holds the number of items in the repeater.
 defaultdelegate : Component
 The delegate provides a template defining each item instantiated by the repeater. The index is exposed as an accessible index property. Properties of the model are also available depending upon the type of Data Model.
 model : any
 The model providing data for the repeater.
 This property can be set to any of the following:
 - A number that indicates the number of delegates to be created
 - A string list
 - An object list
 In each case, the data element and the index is exposed to each instantiated component. The index is always exposed as an accessible index property. In the case of an object or string list, the data element (of type string or object) is available as the modelData property. In the case of a Qt model, all roles are available as named properties just like in the view classes.
 As a special case the model can also be merely a number. In this case it will create that many instances of the component. They will also be assigned an index based on the order they are created.
 Models can also be created directly in QML, using a ListModel or XmlListModel.

In this work, we address two coupled tasks of gaze prediction and action recognition in egocentric videos by exploring their mutual context. Our assumption is that in the procedure of performing a manipulation task, what a person is doing determines where the person is looking at, and the gaze point reveals gaze and non-gaze regions which contain important and complementary information about the undergoing action. We propose a novel mutual context network (MCN) that jointly learns action-dependent gaze prediction and gaze-guided action recognition in an end-to-end manner. Experiments on public egocentric video datasets demonstrate that our MCN achieves state-of-the-art performance of both gaze prediction and action recognition.

At the end of May, the Minneapolis City Council passed a controversial ordinance that will require all employers with at least one employee working in the city of Minneapolis to provide sick leave. The ordinance will become effective on July 1, 2017. Highlights of the ordinance include:
- Eligible employees include any employee who works within the geographical boundaries of the City and works at least 80 hours in a year. Eligible employees include full-time, part-time, and temporary employees so long as they work the requisite number of hours for the employer.
- If there are six or more employees, employers must compensate an employee at the same hourly rate with the same benefits as the employee was scheduled to earn during use of accrued sick leave.
- If there are five or less employees, employers must give employees unpaid use of accrued sick and safe time.
- Employers who already provide paid time off (PTO) or other paid leave policies that meet or exceed the requirements in this ordinance do not have to provide additional sick time. But, if the employer has an existing PTO policy, it does not mean it meets or exceeds the ordinance requirements. Instead, the PTO policy must (1) define "family member" as broadly as the ordinance defines it; and (2) allow for carryover of accrued but unused time.
Amount of Sick Time:
- Employees can accrue one hour of sick time for every 30 hours worked.
- Unless the employer chooses a higher amount, employees cannot accrue more than 48 hours of paid sick time in a calendar year. Employees must be permitted to carry over up to 80 hours of unused sick time.
Use of Sick Time:
- Accruals begin on July 1, 2017.
- For employees hired after that date, accruals begin on the date the employee commences work in Minneapolis.
- Employees can begin to use accrued sick leave beginning 90 calendar days after they start employment.
- Employees can use the sick leave to care for themselves, for a sick family member (who includes a child, step-child, adopted child, foster child, adult child, spouse, sibling, parent, step-parent, mother-in-ordinance, father-in-ordinance, grandchild, grandparent, guardian, ward, members of the employee's household and registered domestic partners), or for an absence due to domestic abuse, sexual assault, or stalking.
- If the sick leave is for three or more consecutive days, employers can require reasonable documentation supporting the need for leave.
- If the need for sick leave is foreseeable, employers can require that the employee provide seven days' prior notice.
- Employers must allow employees to use sick time in the smallest amount of time tracked in the payroll system.
- Although not required, employers can pay out any unused, accrued sick leave in the event of termination or resignation of employment.
Notices and Record Keeping:
- Employers must post notices informing employees of their rights under the ordinance.
- This notice must be included in a handbook if the employer has a handbook.
- Upon request by an employee, employers must provide information stating the current amount of accrued sick time available to the employee and used sick time.
- For a period of three years, employers must keep records showing accrued sick time and used sick time for each day of the workweek.
Construction Industry Employers:
- For employers with construction industry employees, those employers have the option of satisfying the ordinance by paying at least the prevailing wage rate or the required rate established in an applicable apprenticeship agreement for apprentices, regardless of whether the employee is working on a public or private project.
Violation and Relief:
- Suspected violations can be reported to the Minneapolis Department of Civil Rights, which has the sole discretion to pursue an investigation.
- Penalties can include:
- Back pay, crediting the employee accrued but uncredited or withheld time plus payment of the dollar value of the uncredited or withheld time multiplied by two
- Administrative penalty of up to $1,500
- Additional administrative fines of up to $50 per day for continued violations

Large raptors, such as Red-tailed Hawks and Great Horned Owls, can attack and kill small pets. We have received dozens of inquiries about dogs and cats weighing anywhere from 6 to 60 pounds. … A large female Cooper's Hawk can weigh just over one pound; thus the most it could pick up would be a one pound animal.
Can an owl pick up a 20 pound dog?
Great horned owls, northern goshawks, and red-tailed hawks are three of the most common birds-of-prey to lash at small dogs and cats, typically those under 20 pounds. … Oftentimes the answer is as simple as knowing if your yard is also viewed by a hawk or owl as its own home.
Will a bear attack a human?
Generally, bears only attack humans to protect their food, cubs, or space so fighting back against a grizzly bear will typically only worsen an attack whereas playing dead may help the bear believe you are no longer a threat. "To effectively play dead, you should wait until the bear has actually touched you.

Can an eagle crush a human skull?
Males weigh an average of 10 pounds while females clock in closer to 20 pounds. Their rear talons are 3 to 4 inches long – the same length as a grizzly bear's claws. They have a grip strength of appproximately 530 psi – more than enough to crush the human skull & squash your brain like a grape.
Do bears eat humans?
Bears. … Truly man-eating bear attacks are uncommon, but are known to occur when the animals are diseased or natural prey is scarce, often leading them to attack and eat anything they are able to kill. In July 2008, dozens of starving brown bears killed two geologists working at a salmon hatchery in Kamchatka.
Can I shoot a bear if it attacks me?
Bears wounded with an arrow, knife, or firearm may intensify the attack, and killing a bear charging at full speed is difficult at best. If you shoot a bear in self-defense, leave the scene as soon as it is safe, and report the incident to Fish, Wildlife & Parks immediately. … If attacked, use your bear spray.
How big of an animal can an eagle kill?
However, attacks on animals that weigh more than 30 to 40 pounds (14 to 18 kg) are uncommon. Where golden eagles prey on domestic animals, they usually take lambs and kids, but some become persistent predators of domestic livestock as large as 500 pounds (227 kg).

Cooling water discharged from a power plant during winter conditions can form a mixture which is denser than the ambient cold water. The cooling water then sinks to the bottom. Such sinking plumes have been recorded during plume surveys outside power plants discharging in brackich or fresh waters.
A threedimensional matematical numerical model is used to describe the sinking plume. The model runs show that the turbulence in the ambient water affects the sinking considerably. In rough weather conditions with strong turbulence the cooling water is well mixed from the surface to the bottom. A vertical wall (thermal bar) separates ambient water from cooling water. The warm water does not go very far from the outlet. During periods with low wind velocities (little turbulence in the ambient water) the model simulates both the initial floating plume, the sinking and the final spreading along the bottom.
Three runs are presented. One with straight coast and flat bottom. In this model configuration tests with different mixing coefficients were performed.The next run presented shows the small changes that occur when a simple bottom
topography is introduced in the model. The final case is one with a complicated coastline and bottom topography.
The model is shown to be a valuable tool in the process of judging the frequenecy and duration of sinking plumes and the size of bottom area outside a powerplant that will be affected by cooling water.

Numerical Simulation of the coupling efficiency for the light emitting from a commercially available ball-lens capped TO-can laser diode into a single-mode fiber (SMF) is reported. The alignment sensitivity of the coupling efficiency for this laser-to-lens-to-fiber optical configuration is investigated in detail. The result is useful for defining the design tolerances and assembly specifications of economic SMF pigtailed To-can laser diode packages. An optical simulation software package is used to compute the laser-to-lens-to-fiber coupling efficiency. By adjusting the nominal system parameters of the given optical configuration, the maximum coupling efficiency calculated from the best fitted simulation result being equal to 17.3% is obtained, which very well agrees with experimental result of ∼16%. However, it is a bit lower than that of previously reported. It is noticed that in the presence of the ball lens, the axial alignment sensitivity on the coupling efficiency is much relieved as compared to the butt-coupling configuration. However, the lateral alignment sensitivity is still very stringent. An experimental measurement is done on this optical system The alignment sensitivities of the coupling efficiency on both directions are obtained. The results are compared with that from the simulation. A very good fit of the data onto simulated curve can be obtained by adjusting some of the critical system parameters.

Types of Agriculture in Japan 日本の農業の種類
1.What are the different types of agriculture in Japan?
What kind of work do you think of agriculture? You may have a strong image of just growing rice and vegetables. In reality, there is a wide range of work included under the term agriculture.
In the "Japan Standard Industrial Classification (revised in October 2013)" established by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, agriculture is classified into five categories: "Establishments engaged in administrative or ancillary economic activities," "Crop farming," "Livestock farming," "Agricultural services, except gardening services," and "Gardening services.
However, in general, it is often divided into three types: "crop farming,", "livestock farming," and "agriculture-related business."
This article will look at the specific contents of these three types of agriculture.
2.What is "Crop Farming"?
Crop farming is the cultivation of rice, other grains, vegetables, fruit trees, flowers and other plants, etc. The work environment varies greatly depending on the scale of farm and type of crop.
The work of large-scale farms often involves the use of agricultural machinery. Smaller farms or those in environments where agricultural machinery is not available may work mainly by hand.
Furthermore, in open-field or greenhouse cultivation, workers have to work with exposure to the outside temperature, which would be hard in the hot summer months. On the other hand, in a plant factory, workers may work in an environment where the temperature and humidity are artificially controlled.
3.What is "Livestock farming"?
Livestock farming refers to raising, fattening, and incubating livestock and poultry, such as cattle, pigs, chickens, horses, sheep, and ducks. Typical examples are dairy farming, beef cattle production, and poultry farming.
Dairy farming is the production of milk. It may also involve selling cheese and ice cream, which are processed products of milk, or operating as a tourist farm.
Beef cattle production is the job of raising cattle for beef. Recently, the development and production of regional branded beef has become a hot topic. There are two types of farms: breeding farms, where mothers raise calves for a certain period of time, and fattening farms, where calves are bought at a market and are raised to a large size, although some farmers carry out both processes in an integrated manner.
Poultry farming is into two categories: egg production and meat production. Poultry farming in Japan is becoming increasingly modern and large-scale, and, commonly, a single farmer often manages tens of thousands of chickens.
4.What is "Agriculture-related business"?
Agribusiness is a general term for a wide range of industries related to agriculture. It is sometimes referred to as agribusiness, a term coined by combining the words agriculture and business.
Agribusiness mainly involves working to support people engaged in crop farming and livestock farming and connecting producers with consumers.
For example, one of agribusinesses activities is developing a distribution system to sell both agricultural products and processed products directly to consumers. In addition, there has been much attention in recent years on the use of robots, ICT, and other technologies in agriculture to save labor and improve quality control for producers.
As mentioned above, there is a wide range of work related to agriculture in Japan.


How To Lock Up Your Bicycle
We've all seen them " lone bicycle wheels locked to parking meters, and broken bike locks hanging from fences with no bicycle in sight. Maybe you've come back to where you left your bike " and found that it's been stolen! We here at MassBike never want this to happen to you.
Here's what you can do to avoid bicycle theft:
 3. Each lock should have its own built-in locking device (a key-lock or combination lock, but not a padlock). Don't use a cable that's secured by a U-lock " once the thief gets through the U-lock, he's got your bike!
 4. Pull your cable lock through both wheels, and lock it around a bike rack or other closed loop stand. Open-top posts (like parking meters or traffic signs) let thieves lift bikes over them. If you use a cable lock and a Ulock, you don't need to remove your front wheel to secure it.
 5. Wrap your U-lock around a secure post. Then pass it around your rear wheel rim inside the bike's rear triangle. It's not necessary for the lock to secure the frame " if the U-lock locks the rim inside of the frame triangle behind your seat-tube, the bike cannot be stolen by removing the rear wheel. If you can get the frame as well that is a bonus.
 - Don't leave removable gear on your bike. Take pumps, lights, and other accessories with you.
 - Write your name and telephone number on a piece of Tyvek (a sturdy cloth-like plastic available at hardware stores), and identify yourself as the bike's owner. Put this inside your rear tire between the rim and the inner tube. A bike shop will see this if they are asked to repair a flat tire!
Here are some rather poor locking jobs:
It is possible to go a little overboard:

N.H. poverty rate lowest in nation
CONCORD — New Hampshire had the lowest poverty rate among both individuals and families in the nation last year, but the rate has been rising over the past few years, according to new U.S. Census data.
In 2011, 8.8 percent of individuals - 112,700 people — were living below the poverty line, the lowest percentage in the U.S. The data found that 5.6 percent of New Hampshire families were living below the poverty line, also the lowest rate in the country.
The figures come from the American Community Survey, an ongoing survey that helps the state and federal government determine where to distribute funding.
The Granite State poverty rates were roughly half the national averages. The average poverty rate in the U.S. last year was 11.7 percent for families — more than double New Hampshire's rate — and 15.9 percent for individuals, nearly two times New Hampshire's rate.
While New Hampshire has the nation's smallest share of impoverished people, its poverty rate is actually at its highest in several years.
In fact, the rate among individuals has risen substantially since before the recession. From 7.1 percent, or 90,204 people, to the current 8.8 percent.
In 2010, the percentage of New Hampshire residents living below the poverty line was 8.3 percent, or 105,700 people. In 2009, the rate was 8.5 percent, or 109,213 people, and in 2008, the rate was 7.5 percent, or 96,041 people.
In 2011, Alaska and Vermont tied for second-lowest family poverty rate, at 6.9 percent. New Mexico and Mississippi had the highest poverty rates in the country in 2011, at 16.6 and 17.4 percent, respectively.

The Blackfriars Bridge over the River Thames was constructed back in Victorian times, and now it's getting a distinctly steampunk facelift with the addition of 4,400 photovoltaic panels. When complete, this installation is expected to be not only the largest solar power array in the United Kingdom, but also the world's largest solar bridge.
The bridge, constructed in 1886, forms the foundation for the new Blackfriars station, which is being upgraded by Network Rail to meet the needs of more passengers and an improved train service. As part of these improvements, a new roof will be added to the historic structure with over 6,000 square meters (around 19,685 square feet) of solar panels.
All this renewable energy will be delivered directly to the Blackfriars rail station, covering 50 percent of the station's energy needs and reducing CO2 emissions by an estimated 511 tons per year. The station will also be pursuing such eco-improvements as a rain harvesting system and solar tubes to allow for more natural lighting throughout the building.
London's Solarcentury is behind the project's solar engineering, working in conjunction with engineers from Jacobs to incorporate solar generation into the station design; the high-efficiency solar modules utilized by the project come courtesy of Sanyo.

Tarpitting is the practice of deliberately inserting a delay into certain SMTP communications that are associated with spam or with other unwanted traffic. To be effective, these kinds of communications typically rely on generating a high volume of traffic. By slowing an SMTP conversation, you can dramatically reduce the rate at which automated spam can be sent or at which a dictionary attack can be conducted. Legitimate traffic may also be slowed by tar pitting.
The tar pit feature is available in Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and in several third-party SMTP servers. The tar pit feature in Windows Server 2003 works by slowing all responses that contain SMTP protocol 5.x.x error codes. An administrator can configure the delay that is introduced by the tar pit feature.
Tar pitting affects only anonymous SMTP connections. Authenticated sessions are exempt. Therefore, if you regularly exchange lots of SMTP mail with another organization,
and you find that tar pitting is affecting that traffic, you can bypass tar pitting for that organization by authenticating SMTP communications.


Blackjack TU160
Bomber Tupolev TU160 started at 9:00 from the airport and flew at average speed of 1850 km/h toward the airfield B distant 3500 km. After evaluating the danger from the airport B started at 9:45 B towards A fighter MIG 29 at an average speed 2300 km/h. At what time and at what distance from the airport A this two aircrafts meet?
t = 10:16 h Wrong answer
s = 2329.2169 km
Step-by-step explanation:
3500 = 1850(t-9) + 2300(t-(9+45/60))
3500 = 1850•(t-9) + 2300•(t-(9+45/60))
s-1850t = -16650
249000t = _PHONE_
s = 2329.216867
t = 1703/166 ≈ 10.259036

Academic Excellence
International schools are renowned worldwide for their academic excellence. Some of the reasons behind their fantastic results are having first-class facilities and smaller class sizes.
When an institution has first-class amenities, it makes it easier for the teacher to transfer their knowledge. This is because there are more reference materials that the student can use to expand their thinking.
Likewise, smaller class sizes make teaching more effective, as the teacher can deal with the unique needs of every scholar.
Additionally, these schools have extracurricular activities that break the monotony of classwork, allowing your kid to be sharper for the next lesson.

Day of Mourning
Why is April 28th a Day of Mourning?
Every year on April 28, people across the country gather to light candles and wear ribbons as they pay their respects and remember the thousands of men and women who have been killed, injured, or suffered illness as a result of work-related incidents. We also honour the families, coworkers, and friends whose lives have been significantly impacted by these tragedies. April 28th was chosen to reflect the anniversary of the day Ontario passed the Workers' Compensation Act in 1914.
How do unions improve workplace health and safety?
Unions stand up for the health and safety of everyone who works for a living. We work with employers to improve working conditions. Unions work with governments to improve workplace health and safety standards and pass laws to punish employers who put lives at risk for their own gain. We can't bring back those who have died, but we are working hard to make workplaces safer for today. By working together – with employers, unions, workers, and our health and safety partners, we can work towards every worker returning home at the end of the day safe and sound.
UFCW Canada encourages every worker to make workplace health and safety a personal priority and help spread the word that workers have the right to refuse unsafe work.
On April 28, let us remember those who have been injured or killed on the job, and keep them in our thoughts. Let us honour the memory of those killed or injured on the job, and never forget the importance of our commitment to keep workers safe.
To commemorate the National Day of Mourning, UFCW Canada has developed a Day of Mourning poster available for download in both English and French. See below the article image for different formats.

Everyone Is Equal In Harrison Bergeron
655 Words3 Pages
In the short story "Harrison Bergeron," everyone is equal. On page one, it says "Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else". Having a perfect world is ideal, but there are many things could go wrong and it could ruin everything. Problems arise because it is impossible for everything to be perfect. During the story, they live in an ideal world, but one person, Harrison Bergeron, decides that he doesn't want to live that way and tries to overthrow the government. Equality can be a good thing, but it can also be problematic. The idea of living in a world where everyone is equal has many benefits and good qualities. For starters, everyone is equal, so

Crossing Large Gaps And Chasms
The following trick is a simple way to cross large gaps if you cannot figure out how to solve the puzzle (for example, catapults). Re-allocate your skill points, if needed, to equip Zoya with the low gravity arrows and Amadeus with the Conjure 2 or higher abilities. Create a low gravity field and suspend one of Amadeus's boxes within it, refire the low grav arrows, and reposition the box as needed to center the bubble over the chasm. Suspend two or more of Amadeus's boxes within the field to create a bridge. With some practice, you can move the low gravity field with you as you jump from box to box.
Super Mario Surprise
Work your way through the first half or so of the secret Dwarven Caverns stage and you'll reach an area where you can use a drill machine to access a switch that will open the pathway allowing you to advance. That switch is located in the room's lower right corner, and you may notice a door just beyond it that appears to be a dead end. A double jump will allow you to pass the door, though, and beyond it you'll find a cool Easter Egg that pays homage to Super Mario Bros.

When seeking a hearty winter warm-up in the Savo region of Finland, a good first step is finding the deeply brown dumplings known as myky. Because these dense patties get their rich color and flavor from animal blood, they were often made when animals were slaughtered or brought back from a hunt, and traditionally found their way into mykyrokka, or blood dumpling soup.
Also called tappaiskeitto, meaning "butchery soup," the hearty meal has a history as an all-village affair. People would gather to distribute the butchered meat from whole animals (typically cows or pigs), making some into sausage and using the scraps for soup. Today, families still gather to assemble mykyrokka, mixing offal and chunks of meat with potatoes and onions, and shaping barley flour and blood into the iconic dumplings. When the soup is done, it provides just the sort of rib-coating warmth a body needs during the dark days of Finnish winter.


A Relation Taxonomy Creation Module
C.R. Kothari and D.J. Russomanno (USA)
Semantic Web, Ontologies, Relations, Taxonomies
This paper describes the functionality and architecture of the Relation Taxonomy Module (RTM). RTM taxonomically arranges ontology specific relations using relation element values, which describe their intrinsic nature. RTM works in collaboration with the Relation Semantics Prototype (RSEP), which interactively elicits values for relation elements from knowledge providers to describe relations defined within ontologies. RTM generates the relation taxonomies using a technique that is analogous in some ways to using attributes of objects to arrange them taxonomically via the attribute exploration method. Ontology specific relation taxonomies may facilitate knowledge reuse and interoperability on a distributed environment such as the Semantic Web. The functionality and design of the RTM and the results from testing this prototype with a few ontologies are presented and analyzed in this paper.

Mount Fear by Abigail Reynolds takes the crime incident statistics for London and represents them as a 3D physical map built up from layer upon layer of cardboard.
Abigail Reynolds describes the project as follows:
The terrain of Mount Fear is generated by data sets relating to the frequency and position of urban crimes.
Each individual incident adds to the height of the model, forming a mountainous terrain. The imaginative fantasy space seemingly proposed by the sculpture is subverted by the hard facts and logic of the criteria that shape it.
The tensions present within Bradford offer a similar theme of inquiry – extracting data via desktop research could prove useful but overlaying this with 'on the ground' collected data would provide added richness.

Jazz Hands Jo Folk Art Acrylic Painting "Sweeter Things In Life"
Jazz Hands Jo (American, 21st century)
Sweeter Things In Life
Acrylic on canvas
Signed to the lower left
Inscribed to the verso
Certificate of authenticity from artist included
Jazz Hands Jo's (nom de plume) is a nomadic folk painter who grew up in rural areas throughout the United States, from western deserts to southern marsh. While meeting many other artists on her travels, Jazz Hands gained her name by quickly catching on to the skill of painting from her peers. Now a recluse, the artist uses painting as a method of connecting to her roots. Her paintings may present themselves as naive or child-like, however, they are often metaphors of her beliefs. Following her faith, Jo uses anthropomorphic imagery to speak to her audience through acrylic paintings.

Kitchen learning tower vs step stool
Meet your new best friend; the toddler learning tower.
Hold on a second. Do you mean this weird step stool looking piece of furniture with hand-rails?
Yup, that's the one!
Do I still need that "learning stool" if I already have a good ol' step-stool lying around the house?
Well, that's going to depend on how much time you have on your hands to keep making sure your kid is staying safe up on a stool for extended periods of time.
At our house there isn't too much time to spare at meal time, so we need accessories that keep our kids busy AND safe. The kitchen learning tower does just that, and more!
Learning tower in the kitchen
What is a toddler learning tower?
A kitchen helper tower (or learning tower) is nothing more than a step stool with a guard rail around the top step to keep you little one safe.
Over time, the learning stool has evolved. Many models now come with additional accessories such as a chalkboard, whiteboard, an easel, paper and pencil holders and more.
The design also varies between the different brands. Learning towers also come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Some learning stools even fold flat or convert into a table and chair. They are awesome.
Learning tower in the kithcen (1)
What is the purpose of a learning tower?
A learning tower has two main purposes. It raises your toddler up to counter height and it keeps them contained in a safe area so they don't fall over.
When your child reaches a certain age, they will want to (or demand to) see everything you are doing. The reality is that parents spend a ton of time in the kitchen preparing meals and cleaning up after them so kids want to know what we are doing up there, and they also want to participate.
With a learning tower you can have your kids help with the dishes, meals, wash their own hands and even do arts and craft together while standing. There are so many activities that can be done together with a Montessori learning tower.
learning tower vs step stool
Can I use a step stool instead of a kitchen learning tower?
Yes you can use a step stool instead of a kitchen helper tower but you will likely have a hard time doing anything with your toddler on a step stool. At least I did.
The step stool only does one part of the job, it brings your little one to the counter. What it doesn't do is free you to do other things. If you want to have peace of mind and actually get dinner on the table without the screaming (or a falling child), you need a learning tower.
In Conclusion
Using a step stool to keep your child busy will not solve all your problems. A kitchen helper tower will certainly give your child the safety he needs. It also provides you, the parent, the peace of mind you are looking for.
There are countless ways to keep your child happy on a kitchen learning tower while they learn new skills and get to see everything you do to keep the house running. It's a win-win-win!
