A WMS is the backbone of any distribution and fulfillment operation. Is your WMS a strategic asset or an outdated relic?
The backbone of every warehouse operations is the warehouse management system or WMS.
Your WMS should reflect the current realities of your operations and prepare your business for the future. Perhaps your shifting to a more significant portion of e-commerce sales. Or you're growing through mergers and acquisitions and have to integrate operations across multiple companies.
Each strategy carries its own requirements. For example, a higher level of direct-to-consumer shipping requires warehouse software that can handle large numbers of individual shipments as well as pallet-in and pallet-out operations. For integrating companies, your inventory system must be able to view items no matter where they're located and how they may be sold.
Perhaps still running your warehouse without a WMS, using an array of spreadsheets with manually managed data and reporting. Maybe you have a locally based legacy system, and you've become accustomed to your system's limitations.
Transitioning to a SaaS WMS will help you support sales growth and improve warehouse performance. At Logiwa, we've seen shippers double their shipping efficiency with 100% inventory accuracy by using our cloud-based WMS.
If you don't have an existing WMS already, you may actually be in a better position than if you're using a legacy system. You can transition to a WMS cleanly without having to deal with existing databases and business rules.
A WMS manages inventory and its movements through your warehouse, and the labor required for your operations. The database includes information on individual SKUs, such as dimensions and packaging information, as well as warehouse storage locations and any storage restriction information. You need a WMS that's customizable to your warehouse configuration, such and the number and location of dock doors and storage racks. A sophisticated system will also generate predictions for labor productivity, such as cases picked per employee-hour.
Third-party logistics providers need a comprehensive 3PL WMS solution to serve the needs of their customers as well. Customization and flexibility are essential to maintain an accurate view of customers' inventory and provide a seamless experience.
You can use a WMS to plan operations on a shift or daily basis and calculate the resources such as labor and vehicles required to accomplish the plan. You can communicate those plans to carriers for deliveries and pick-ups.
Use your WMS to plan and sequence orders for picking using common strategies such as wave picking. Your WMS should support business rules for assigning work based on the configuration of your warehouse.
Your WMS should integrate with your existing systems such as accounting and ERPs, transportation planning, e-commerce platforms, parcel carriers, and others. It should also connect with a variety of warehouse technologies, such as RFID, barcodes, mobile devices, and automated material handling and storage equipment.
Using a modern WMS provides data for managers to monitor and improve operations in a timely way. With real-time information, you can see if daily goals will be met and put plans in place to avoid failure.
Are you ready to change your WMS game? Get in touch with Logiwa, and we'll set up a WMS demo today.

On behalf of Artspace, a non-profit contemporary art gallery in downtown New Haven, Matt Maleska, its Board Chair, is pleased to announce the addition of five new members to its Board— Marion Belanger, Jessica Labbe, Helen Kauder, Beka Sturges, and Paul Taheri— effective July 1, 2016.

She has been a participant in many past Artspace programs and exhibitions. She holds an MFA from Yale.
Jessica Labbe is the Deputy Director for Finance and Administration for Yale University Art Gallery. In this capacity, she serves as a strategic administrative partner within the Art Gallery's leadership team and directs, plans, and manages the comprehensive business affairs of the museum, including management and analysis of departmental budgets, human resources, staff training and development, and regulatory compliance. She holds an MBA from Yale School of Management and a BFA in Furniture Design from RISD. She lives in East Rock.
Helen Kauder is Executive Director of Artspace and co-founder of the City-Wide Open Studios festival. Before returning to Artspace in 2010, she served as Deputy Director of the Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art. Earlier, she was a Vice President at Citibank and the Director of University Licensing Programs at Yale University. She has been recognized for her long service to the art sector through Connecticut's Office of the Arts Elizabeth Mahaffey award, and an Elm-Ivy award, Yale's highest honor for town-gown bridge building.

Kurzfassung auf Englisch: In this paper, we develop new threshold cointegration tests with SETAR and MTAR adjustment allowing for the presence of structural breaks in the equilibrium equation. We propose a simple procedure to simultaneously estimate the previously unknown breakpoint and test the null hypothesis of no cointegration. Thereby, we extend the well-known residual-based cointegration test with regime shift introduced by Gregory and Hansen (1996a) to include forms of nonlinear adjustment. We derive the asymptotic distribution of the test statistics and demonstrate the finite-sample performance of the tests in a series of Monte Carlo experiments. We find a substantial decrease of power of the conventional threshold cointegration tests caused by a shift in the slope coefficient of the equilibrium equation. The proposed tests perform superior in these situations. An application to the 'rockets and feathers' hypothesis of price adjustment in the US gasoline market provides empirical support for this methodology.

The car needs to be insured for at least ,000,000 against personal injury, death, or property damage.
The test driver must have been a licensed driver for at least 3 years, with no more than 1 point on their license, and no accidents that resulted in injuries. Anyone who's had their license suspended in the past decade due to a DUI isn't eligible.
Any accidents while operating the autonomous vehicle that result in damage or injury must be reported to the DMV within ten days.
You can read the DMV's full text of the license terms right over here.
Applications for the license open up in July, with the first licenses set for approval come September.

When Kevin George's two-month old daughter, Maddie, was dying from a rare form of meningitis in 2012, staff helped the family find a room in the hospital where they could spend her last hours together in private.
That wasn't standard practice at the time, but it is now, thanks to a new Neonatal Palliative Care Guide for Neonatal Intensive Care Units from Alberta Health Services.
"We were afforded that privacy given our circumstance, but now it's going to be ingrained," said George. "The guide is structured to help the medical team focus on the needs of children and their families, to try and make the best of a really bad situation."
Nearly 60 doctors, nurses, chaplains, social workers and family members from across Alberta, including George, worked to create the guidelines by consensus, led by University of Alberta assistant clinical professor Kumar Kumaran and associate professor Michael van Manen, both neonatologists at the Stollery Children's Hospital. The guidelines were co-written by Kumaran and van Manen, along with the University of Calgary's Amelie Stritzke, a neonatologist at Foothills Medical Centre, and the U of C's Deborah Clark, a neonatologist at Rockyview General Hospital.
Kumaran estimated that up to 10 per cent of infants admitted to neonatal intensive care units each year might benefit from palliative care at some point during their stay. They may have been born very early, with genetic disorders, heart defects or other life-limiting issues.
The guide provides detailed practice standards and practical steps for medical staff to take while providing palliative care in a neonatal unit. It suggests techniques for having difficult conversations when establishing goals of care, including phrases to use or avoid, and questions to ask families about their values and wishes for their babies.
"Palliative care is not merely a process of providing comfort for babies who are dying," said Kumaran. "It is caring for newborns who are going through critical, life-threatening illness for which one outcome could be death."
"We must weigh all the options and determine what is the right goal-is it comfort-only care, is it curative care or is it comfort and curative care? They can go hand in hand," he said.
"At the same time, we need to support families across clinical, psychological and spiritual dimensions. We must talk about the possibility of death, while not taking hope away."
Establishing realistic goals of care
George shared his experiences with Maddie and with another daughter, Everly, who died just one day after her birth in 2015.
For Maddie, the goals of care changed over time. She was born healthy, then had surgery to remove a tumour. She got meningitis while recovering and had to be resuscitated. Then her condition worsened steadily.
"Our mental space and ability to deal with the evolving goals of care lagged sometimes," George said. "There were all these things happening at a crazy pace."
George and his wife knew that baby Everly would not live for long after birth, as she had been diagnosed in the womb with a heart problem and genetic problems. Their goal of care for Everly was to allow the family, which includes two healthy boys, to do some of the usual things that families do to celebrate a birth.
"We had a photographer on standby and my mom with our kids, to rush over quickly to do family pictures," George said. "The hospital staff were supportive and aware and very respectful of the situation."
George said above all he appreciated when medical staff were open and transparent about his children's conditions.
"You can't smoke-and-mirrors the reality of the situation-you have to be respectfully honest," said George, who is now a member of the Stollery Patient and Family Centred Care Council and serves on the board of the Stollery Children's Hospital Foundation.
"You cannot execute a palliative strategy if you don't have the ability to communicate what's going on."
Tough conversations
The guide acknowledges that discussing palliative care options can be hard for health-care professionals who are used to focusing on life-saving care, but emphasizes that it's imperative they share decision-making with parents and are sensitive to parents' cultural, religious and personal beliefs and needs.
"Palliative care is not giving up care-it is reframing the goals of care," Kumaran said. "As physicians and nurses, we come into medicine to help babies. Now we have to realize, while we may not be able to impact the length of life in some babies, we're clearly impacting the comfort they can live with in whatever length of life they may have. That's the reframing we must do."
Kumaran acknowledged that using the right language is essential. For example, rather than using terms such as "withholding" or "withdrawal" of treatment in end-of-life situations, the guide suggests health-care providers discuss protecting the infant from unhelpful or painful interventions.
The guide encourages health-care providers to ask about the family's values, hopes and fears. It suggests using phrases such as, "I'm sorry for your loss" and, "I don't know what to say, but I am here for you," rather than things like, "It's best this way" and, "You can have more children."
Health-care providers are encouraged to be honest about their own emotions, without making value judgments for or about the families.
Marcia Ergezinger, a neonatal nurse practitioner in Edmonton with more than 30 years of experience who was also part of the guideline team, said the guide will be helpful for trainee doctors and nurses, or any staff member who is uncomfortable approaching palliative conversations.
"It allows them to not be so scared to talk to parents about bereavement," Ergezinger said.
The guide includes instructions to support pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods of alleviating symptoms right before death, including doses for easy reference.
Taking memories home
Ergezinger said another concrete action the guide suggests is providing the family with a memory box as they leave the hospital, including a teddy bear or blanket the baby used, plaster moulds of the baby's hands and feet, a lock of hair, or hand and foot prints. Photographs of the baby should be taken and offered to the family, and stored in case they change their mind later.
"Never let the families leave empty-handed," Ergezinger said. "You're trying to create positive memories for them of a life that was shortened."
Ergezinger likened the guide to a recipe book that will be followed by staff across the province.
"You don't get a do-over," she said. "You want to make it the least traumatic that you can for the families.
"With this guide, parents can know they are getting consistent care that has been shown to be helpful to other families."
Kevin George is confident neonatal staff and other families will now benefit from his own family's difficult experiences.
"Even if you know absolutely nothing about anything medical or science isn't your thing, you still have the right to chime in on what's going on with your child, but not all parents necessarily feel comfortable doing that," George said.
"If this guide can alleviate anxiety or lack of understanding for people who are in the throes of it, that to me would be a win."
The guide was published and funded by the Maternal Newborn Child and Youth Strategic Clinical Network of Alberta Health Services. Initial funding for research into the attitudes of medical staff toward palliative care was supported by the U of A's Department of Pediatrics, and additional expertise in research methodology was provided by the Women and Children's Health Research Institute, through funding from the Stollery Children's Hospital Foundation.

Hunza—'A person of interest' wanted by local Anti Terrorism Court of Gilgit-Baltistan has committed suicide in Hunza. Fazal Karim, who was alleged to lead the riots in Ali Abad after the brutal killings of two innocent protesters by law enforcement agencies, has strangled himself with a rope hung by a tree in his courtyard.
Fazal Karim, a young resident of Aliabad, reportedly went into hiding after an absconder notice he saw in a local newspaper. He was worried about the random raids and arrests in Hunza. He was found dead hanging on a tree in his courtyard. After a post-mortem his body was handed over to his close relatives.
His body was laid to rest and the funeral was attended by thousand of people.


I'm honestly trying to steer clear of too much festivity too early, but just about everything that's coming through is geared towards that time. The Durance Spiced Biscuit Candle, clearly, from its snowflake pattern, is just such a thing. But, it's not really that full-on blast of 'mulled wine and pine trees'. Spiced Biscuit is more of a homely smell – it just smells of the very thing that you want when you come home from a horrible, wet, crowded Saturday shopping afternoon; it's all dark and miserable outside and you're so pleased to be home.
That's my long winded version of describing it as a true comfort scent. The Durance Spiced Biscuit Candle (£14.95) is sweet, spicy and home-baking-y (I know, I'm making up words, here) but it hasn't veered off into that saccharine sweetness.
My one piece of advice is to always have some biscuits in if you're planning on burning this. You'll thank me for that piece of advice when the aroma starts to curl around your nostrils and you get the munchies ;-).
The more I get to know this brand, the more I like it, so it's well worth looking out for. It's HERE.
It's nice to see a candle that gets good reviews but still falls into the affordable spectrum. I'm more than happy to spend £15 on something that's gonna make my house smell nice – £50 not so much.
This candle sounds lovely and it's not hideously expensive either!!

Chelsea FC News
OFFICIAL: Atletico Madrid Agree Permanent Deal For Alvaro Morata
Atletico Madrid have officially agreed to sign Alvaro Morata from Chelsea before the 2020/21 season.
Like their previous agreement in January, the striker will see out the next 12 months on loan at the Wanda Metropolitano. He will be released from Chelsea's books in July 2020 and signed up by Atletico for a transfer fee that is rumoured to be around £50.
Morata himself is eager to move back to Madrid after a torrid first 18 months with Chelsea. He fell out of favour under both Antonio Conte and Maurizio Sarri, which prompted to Blues to find him a new home.
Ever since his debut against Real Betis in February, the 26-year-old has scored on 6 occasions for Atleti in 17 games.
Chelsea are due to have Michy Batshuayi, Tammy Abraham and Olivier Giroud in their striking lineup now as they have officially ended ties with both Morata and Gonzalo Higuain.
Frank Lampard is expected to test out all the available personnel before deciding who will lead his team's attack next season.
As for Morata, he can hope to put his Stamford Bridge nightmare behind him now. He has the full faith of his manager, Diego Simeone with Antoine Griezmann tipped to leave the Rojiblancos this summer.

TODAY MARKS THE 77TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ATTACK ON PEARL HARBOR, the event that finally brought the United States in to World War II. On Dec. 7, 1941, Japanese planes bombed 20 Navy vessels. More than 300 U.S. planes and more than 2,400 U.S. lives were lost.

In Ka'ū, young men, such as Iwao Yonemitsu and the late Toku Nakano, decided to join the U.S. military to show their patriotism as Japanese Americans. Two others signing up from Hawaiʻi, Daniel Inouye and Dan Akaka, later became U.S. Senators.
Japanese American women stepped up in community responsibilities when Japanese American men were either interred by the U.S. government or joined the U.S. military. Shigeo Kikuchi, wife of the Rev. Chikyoku Kikuchi, became responsible for the Buddhist Temple in Nāʻālehu when he was interred. In Volcano, Kīlauea Military Camp became an internment camp for Japanese Americans.
Governor David Ige's late father, Tokio Ige, a WWII Veteran, served in the 100th Battalion/442 Infantry Regimental Combat Team and earned the Purple Heart and Bronze Star.

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard attended services today at Pearl Harbor and said, "December 7, 1941, is a day that forever changed Hawaiʻi and our nation. We saw great loss, but also witnessed unmatched valor and bravery in those who would come to be known as the greatest generation for leading by example in putting service above self."
Gabbard attended a floral tribute alongside the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial, dedicated to the Arizona that sank after two bombs, losing 1,177 sailors and Marines, the greatest number of casualties from any one ship on Dec. 7. Gabbard said, "As we remember those who died on that day, as well as those who answered the call of duty during World War II and beyond, their selflessness in putting service to our country and our people before all else, continues to inspire us all. May their stories and their examples live on forever in the hearts of a grateful nation."

SEN. MAZIE HIRINO TODAY OBJECTED TO THE NOMINATION of William Barr for U.S. Attorney General. Hirono, Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, said, "The selection of William Barr to serve as Attorney General is another example of Donald Trump's interest in appointing people who will be loyal and cover for him. Over the last two years, Mr. Barr has publicly called for the investigation of Hillary Clinton and criticized the Mueller investigation. He achieved his goal of getting the President's attention and approval, leading to this nomination.
"Mr. Barr's record presents a troubling parallel for the situation presented in the Mueller investigation. As Attorney General in the George H.W. Bush Administration, Mr. Barr recommended that President Bush pardon six people indicted by Iran-Contra Independent Counsel Lawrence Walsh, including high-ranking officials who were accused of perjury and withholding evidence. This country does not need political interference with law enforcement again today.
"The Attorney General's job is to protect the American people, not to do the President's bidding. We need an Attorney General who is not only qualified for the job itself, but is also independent," said Hirono.

HAWAIʻI VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK today announced its holiday hours and its fee-free days in 2019, along with a statement about the closure of an area to protect nēnē, the endangered Hawaiian geese.
Pu'u Pua'i Overlook and parking lot are temporarily closed to protect breeding and nesting nēnē. The gate is secured at the entrance to the Pu'u Pua'i parking lot, near the intersection of Chain of Craters Road and Crater Rim Drive. Visitors are able to hike about 0.4 miles of Devastation Trail from the Devastation Trail parking lot to a trail sign marking the closure.

In 1952, only 30 nēnē remained statewide. Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park began efforts to recover the imperiled geese in the 1970s. The Nēnē Recovery Program continues today, and more than 200 birds thrive in the park from sea level to around 8,000 feet.
Pu'u Pua'i is a massive reddish-brown cindercone that formed during an eruption at Kīlauea Iki crater in 1959. Evidence of this eruption is visible in the form of small tephra cinders that blanket the ground along Crater Rim Drive towards Keanakāko'i Crater.
The main portion of the Park will be open on Christmas Day – Tuesday, Dec. 25 – and New Year's Eve – Monday, Dec. 31. Kīlauea Visitor Center, which opens daily at 9 a.m., will close at 2 p.m. both days.
Kahuku Unit will be closed both days per its normal operating schedule. Kahuku is open Wednesdays through Sundays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Acting Superintendent Ben Hayes says, "The park would like to wish everyone a wonderful holiday season, and mahalo nui loa for the public's support during a very eventful year. We are all looking forward to welcoming our visitors through the season and opening more areas as we continue recovery efforts in 2019."

Entrance fee-free days for 2019 include: Monday, January 21 – Martin Luther King, Jr. Day; Saturday, April 20 – Start of National Park Week/Junior Ranger Day; Sunday, August 25 – National Park Service Anniversary; Saturday, September 28 – National Public Lands Day; and Monday, November 11 – Veterans Day.
"We are excited to extend fee-free days in 2019, and we invite everyone to come and explore the remarkable changes that occurred in Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park during 2018," says Hayes.
Hawai'i Volcanoes normally charges $25 per vehicle, $20 per motorcycle, and $12 per pedestrian or bicycle. The receipt is good for seven days. Camping and backcountry fees still apply on free entrance days. The 2019 fee-free dates will also be observed by Haleakalā National Park on Maui, and Pu'uhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park in West Hawai'i.
NINETY DAYS WITH NO LAVA: A milestone for Kīlauea's 2018 eruption is the focus of this week's Volcano Watch, written by U.S. Geological Survey Hawaiian Volcano Observatory scientists and affiliates:
One of the most frequently asked questions of USGS HVO scientists over the last several months has been, "Is the eruption over?"
View into fissure 8 cone after lava drained away. USGS webcam image from November 4
It's no surprise that Hawaiʻi Island residents would like to see Kīlauea's activity behind them, given its toll on lower Puna communities this summer. The lower East Rift Zone erupted a volume of 1 cubic kilometer of lava and destroyed over 700 structures. Two-thirds of the erupted lava flowed into the ocean through the vigorous channelized flow from fissure 8.
The question was first asked in early August 2018, when summit collapses stopped and the volume of LERZ fissure 8 lava diminished. But fissure 8 wasn't quite done. During September 1-4, one more appearance of lava occurred inside the cone before draining away completely.
And now, December 5 marks the three-month – 90-day – anniversary of no surface lava activity at Kīlauea. This is a milestone for this summer's eruption. The Smithsonian Institution's Global Volcanism Program, volcano.si.edu, classifies the end of continuous volcanic activity based on an absence of eruptive activity over a three-month period. With this GVP criterion and no signs of imminent unrest on Kīlauea, the LERZ eruption could be considered over.
Kīlauea caldera, today, Dec. 7. USGS webcam image
However, magma is still being supplied to Kīlauea Volcano and geophysical datasets continue to show evidence for movement of molten rock through the magmatic system, including the refilling of the middle ERZ. It's important to note that Kīlauea is still an active volcano that will erupt in the future and associated hazards have not changed. When a new eruption does occur, ground cracking, gas emissions, seismicity, and deformation can rapidly change.
The GVP three-month period is a global statistical average from all known eruptions. If we look at only Kīlauea's past 200 years of activity, this 90-day period still holds true.
But eruptive pauses have occurred in the past. There is one known example – Mauna Ulu, 1969-74 – in which Kīlauea's rift zone activity resumed after a 3½-month pause. And, while Mauna Ulu has had the longest known mid-eruption pause, other examples of long pauses occurred during the first three years of the Puʻu ʻŌʻō eruption. Breaks between 44 episodes of high lava fountains in 1983-1986 ranged from hours to 65 days long (two months). Six of those pauses were between one- and two-months long.
All other known pauses during Kīlauea eruptions have been one month or less before eruptive activity resumed. All known temporal gaps on the rift zones lasting more than 3 and a half months have ended their respective eruption. New eruptions would begin elsewhere on Kīlauea after months-to-decades of quiet.
It's difficult to know if Kīlauea inactivity lasting between one and three months is just a pause or the end of the eruption while we are in that 1-3 month window. The only way to know for sure is to wait and see, using hindsight to make the call.
Mauna Ulu, today, Dec. 7. USGS webcam image
In view of the GVP three-month guideline, Kīlauea's history over the last 200 years, and no current signs of imminent eruption, it is very unlikely that the 2018 LERZ eruption will resume.
While the LERZ eruption might be over, Kīlauea volcano is not dead. There can, and will, be a new eruption – it's just a matter of when and where. Kīlauea's current lack of activity does not change the hazards faced by those of us living on an active volcano. So, it's important to remain informed and aware of Kīlauea's activity and location of Lava-Flow Hazard Zones at volcanoes.usgs.gov/observatories/hvo/faq_lava.html.
The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory continues to closely monitor Kīlauea Volcano through ground-based observations, helicopter overflights, and geophysical instrument networks. Significant changes will be noted in HVO's weekly updates.

A red door with ivy and berries makes for a most festive feel during the winter season. But throw in a bright blue sky and you have something roaring amongst the sleepy winter landscape.
To me, one of the most fetching things here is the asymmetry of the one wreath on the double door.
How about you? Do you like asymmetry? Or do you favor symmetry?
Love the blue sky reflected in the glass. I tend to favor symmetry, myself.
Found your site as i am searching for images to support my decision to go asymmetrical! I do plan to sort of balance the one wreath with a planter in front of the door sans wreath. If I am brave, I will send you a snap!


We had a fun week last week. We worked on review of letters Aa-Ee. We also talked about using our senses to investigate apples. We did some apple tasting and decided that our class liked Green Granny Smith apples the best,. Our dramatic play area has turned into an Apple Orchard. We also have been making "apple pie" with our apple scented play dough.
This week we will begin our new theme, Our Community. Our social emotional focus will be on responsibility. We will be learning about the role of community in our lives and the importance of good citizenship. Week 1 will be about places we go in our community. Our letter of the week will be letter Ff. We will also be learning about St. Francis. Thursday is the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi. St. Francis is the patron saint of animals. On Friday, our school will celebrate with a school Mass at 11:00am outside. There will be a blessing of the animals. If your family would like to attend, you may take your pet to the mass and it will be blessed. Preschool will not be attending the Mass as it will be during our lunch. Please feel free to sign your child out if you would like to take them.
We are in our last week of our My Family theme-All kinds of families. The Big Idea this week is Every Family is Unique. We will also continue to talk about being kind to our family members and friends. We will talk about how some families are the same and some families are different and explore ways in which every family is special. This week we will review letters Aa - Ee.
In math, we will discuss ways to sort objects, and in science we will introduce children to the idea of using their senses by talking about how the children are feeling temperature, tasting, and smelling.
On Wednesday, we will celebrate September Birthdays with a special snack. Please see the sign up in the class if your child has a birthday this month.
I will continue to assess the children in class for upcoming parent/teacher conferences in October. Please sign up for a time that works for you, if you need a different time, please let me know and I am happy to work with you.
Looking ahead... October 5th will be the Blessing of the Animals Mass in front of the school. If you would like to attend with your pet and your child, please feel free to take them out of class. Preschool will not attend as a class because the mass is at 11:00am during our lunch time.
On October 6th, our school will have the Oktoberfest fundraiser at Hunter Farms starting at 6:00pm. This is an adult only event.
We are beginning week 3 of our current theme, My Family-Family Fun. Our Big Idea is, I share special time with my family. This week we will talk about family celebrations. We will also be working on the Letter Ee. and counting objects to 5.
Thank you to all the families that have already turned in their questionnaire, if you have not turned it in, please do so. Also, if you have not signed up for the foreign language program, please turn in your request form. Your child will not be able to start with out it.
This Sunday, is an all school Mass at St. Patrick's church during the 9am Mass. If your family will be attending, please have your child wear their OLM t-shirt. The 6th grade class is putting on a pancake breakfast in the church hall. Make sure you purchase tickets.
We are in week 2 of our 2nd theme, My Family- We Take Care of Each Other. Our letter of the week will be letter Dd. Our Big Idea is, I love my family and they love me. We will be discussing caring and kindness, family roles and responsibilities, interdependence, and feelings. We will also focus on learning more about the Holy Family. I will also be conducting one-on-one assessments with each student over the next few weeks.
We would like to welcome two new families to our class. We are blessed that our school family is growing.
Please remember to sign in your student in the morning and out at pick up time. Your student must be signed in and out by a person that is 18 years of age or older. The classroom opens at 7:45am. If your child arrives earlier than that, please check them into room 10. Our morning routine is to wash our hands and use the restroom before entering the classroom. Please have your student arrive with enough time that they are able to sign in before 8:00am. At 8:00am, we begin with our morning message and prayer/Pledge of Allegiance. We will continue to work on Friend of the Day and continue to have students show and tell about their Super Kid Posters. As we finish, we have been sending them home. Every other week, we have been visiting the school garden with our 6th grade science buddies. Our Preschool students planted pumpkins this summer and they have been planted in the school garden where we are growing our own pumpkin patch. We were soo excited to see that small pumpkins are already starting to form. On Wednesday, we are visited by our 5th grade reading buddies and enjoy listening to them read to us. Thursdays, we go around the room and ask for prayer intensions from each student. This gives them a chance to pray for someone they care about. Thursday is also our day to visit the school Library. We always enjoy our time with Mrs. Poole, the school Librarian. On the last Wednesday of the month, we celebrate all birthdays from the month. We will have a special birthday snack sign up for the children celebrating. If your family would like to contribute to the special snack, you can sign up on the bulletin board. The last Friday of the month is usually the day that preschool provides a lunch to donate to St. Vincent De Paul for those that may not have food to eat for lunch. We send home a lunch bag that your child has colored that you may fill and return on Friday.
Reminder, the Ages and Stages Questionnaires are due by Friday, September 14th.

We will begin Friend of the Day this week. Friend of the Day is a new friend every day. We will cheer their name and the entire class will write that friends name and draw a picture of them in a large group setting. This is a great way to learn to follow directions and practice proper letter formation.
We will have a busy week this week.

Google has obviously been aware of this and in conjunction with the development of its tools (Android Studio), it now bundles a test support library with the SDK.
From my initial experience, here are a few tips for setting up tests in Android Studio (v1.3). As I learn more hopefully I'll write a follow-up post with some basic unit and instrumentation tests.
For some reason this was the most frustrating part for me and a few others , but hopefully the following info can make things a bit easier for people.
If you're creating a new project, Android Studio (AS) will create the Instrumentation test area for you under the 'androidTest' directory. This will contain all UI tests i.e. Espresso & ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2 tests etc. as I currently understand it. If your adding testing to a older project and this directory isn't there, you can add it just by right clicking on the 'src' directory and select 'New > Directory' to create it including the 'Java' and package directories too (see below).
A quick tip for creating the similar unit test directory which is called 'test' is to create the directory and the 'Java' one underneath it and then switch the 'Test Artifact' drop down in the 'Build Variants' view from 'Instrumentation' to 'Unit Test'. This drop down is used to switch between the different test groups and you'll notice that AS renders these directories differently when each is selected. You can then highlight the top level of the package directories i.e. uk in this case, and then copy and paste from there to test > java (and delete the ApplicationTest class that's copied).
This gives us our basic test project structure. Before we create our tests we need to add the JUnit dependency to our Gradle file ( testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12' ). I've included the Espresso dependencies as well in the screen below which relate to the Instrumentation UI testing section but will talk more about this in another post. As you can see the dependencies are prefixed with the appropriate directory names to match each type of testing ('androidTest' & 'test').
The next step is to create some tests and run them. A nice shortcut to create tests from your classes is to open the class you'd like to test, right click in the class window and select Go To > Test .
AS will then create a test in the appropriote test area (selected in the Test Artifact drop down) with the basic methods for the ones you've selected.
Running the Unit Test seemed straightforward initially, but one gotcha that's worth remembering is that once you've created a test in the Unit Test section, to run it you need to replace the default make command with a 'Gradle-aware Make' and leave the task blank when prompted.
When you then right click on your new test and select run you should get something like the following. The highlighted button toggles display of all passed tests which default to hidden.
After I'd compiled this blog post I found a great article that Google has created on a website called Codelabs . This takes you through the same process as above with an example of the espresso UI testing as well. Find it here.
Hopefully this has helped ease some of the initial difficulties of getting testing up and running in Android. As I pick up more on testing techniques I'll try and share them here.


Yeah, they're on the decline.
No, this ain't a misprint.
I've never seen any other team listed 10-21 — or anywhere even close to those odds — to make the CFP. Have you?
It's not every day you see a kid commit based on the strength of a school's tailgating.
UCF's gonna UCF as long as it can.
Seriously, these guys are gonna carry that national championship torch longer than Tommy Tuberville has for the '04 Auburn Tigers… and with as much chance at succeeding.
UCF operates under an additional handicap, being located in Florida, home to such legendary programs as the University of Florida, Florida State and University of Miami.
Milton said eventually people will notice the product on the field.
And Georgia's "sustained success" was a one-year jump from an 8-5 season that saw the Dawgs come uncomfortably close to being embarrassed at home by an FCS team.
Look, I get that your team beat Auburn. I get that Alabama didn't. But Clemson did and so did Georgia. In any event, that's what's great about college football: it's more than a one-game season. Get that strength of schedule up 25-30 spots and then you can talk.
Chip Towers is positively thrilled for him.
Ummm… who's this "you" you're referring to, Chip? I doubt anybody down our way cares one way or the other. By the way, couldn't you have at least modified "setbacks" with the adjective "self-imposed"? There's nothing more impressive than watching a guy pull himself up by the same bootstraps he used to hang himself first.
Meanwhile, back in reality, here's a take that really is hot.
I wonder if Evans authorized the expenditure. LOL.
UPDATE: I'm gonna run this one up the flagpole and see if anyone salutes it.
Smug Alabama blogger is smug.
He isn't just the dean of SEC coaches, he's the only one with strong job security.
Saban's the only one? Sure, buddy.
Add it all up and it didn't look particularly exceptional, but then again, after an 8-5 2016, nobody thought this team was particularly exceptional going into the season.
Things are looking up, I'd say. For a little more context, I'll list the SEC teams he ranks higher than Georgia at each unit.
When you're ranked ahead of Alabama in as many categories as Alabama's ranked ahead of you, that's pretty solid.
The quirky thing about his unit rankings is at quarterback, where Georgia ranks several spots higher than 'Bama. Go to Steele's preseason all-SEC teams, though, you'll find Tua at third-team and you won't find Fromm mentioned at all. Only thing I can draw from that is that Steele really, really likes Fields.
Multiple is the new balanced.
Really, if Mike Bobo and Mark Richt had come along about fifteen years later, I swear this is what we'd be hearing about.
To some degree nearly everyone wants to be "multiple" on offense.

The Cornell Daily Sun (https://cornellsun.com/2000/09/21/put-on-a-happy-face/)
By ryan | September 21, 2000
No matter the subjects explored in his films, filmmaker Cameron Crowe immerses himself in the selection of music which serve to underscore his themes. From the scene where John Cusack raises a boombox over his head to express his heartbreak in Say Anything to the grunge scene in Singles, this man knows how to create an aural atmosphere for his cinema.
Serving as a producer on the soundtrack for Almost Famous, his latest film, Crowe personally selected songs from the early '70s which represent his wistful, nostalgic, and perhaps even slightly sentimental memories of the era. Each track on the album is spirited, light, and just a tad "sweet," leading one to "recall" the "70s the same way as Crowe does.
The album starts off with Simon and Garfunkel's "America." It's a quiet, smooth piece which seemed to get nostalgic as soon as it was performed for the first time.
Some of the bands covered by Crowe during his journalism years are represented on the CD (Lynyrd Skynrd, Led Zeppelin).
One thing I noticed was how rock 'n' roll institutions such as Rod Stewart ("Every Picture Tells a Story") and Elton John ("Tiny Dancer") sound so young on this CD. We're so used to hearing Elton belting Lion King songs or to seeing Rod look like a sad puppy after getting dumped by supermodel Rachel Hunter that it's a bit startling to hear them jam with as much purpose and energy as the best of today's young musicians.
Of the 17 cuts on the soundtrack, only two of them are new material. Track six is "Fever Dog" by Stillwater (the fictional band in the movie). There's an instrumental track titled "Lucky Trumble," too. Both of these songs were written by Crowe's wife, Nancy Wilson, former lead singer of Heart, who also wrote the musical score for the film. Overall, the CD reflects Cameron Crowe's fond reminiscences of his coming-of-age. Given the turmoil of the times, it's not too much of a stretch to say that Crowe's putting a good face forward about things. I mean, c'mon, the repercussions of the "60s were still readily apparent in 1973, yet Crowe saw fit to include even The Beach Boys on the album. (I couldn't help thinking about Chris Tucker's reprimanding of Jackie Chan in Rush Hour — "The Beach Boys are gonna get you killed!")
The CD is a good listen, a kind of easy-going "mini-hits" compilation. However, it reflects how much of a kid Crowe was in 1973. The music isn't as confrontational as one might expect given first impressions (even Cat Stevens isn't all that edgy), and there's no way a mere seventeen songs can convey the entire spectrum of a generation's emotional response to the world. There's a sense that something's missing here, so the Almost Famous album falls short of the ambitions of, say, the Forrest Gump two-disc soundtrack.

Rawlings, Martin, Faculty Discuss Salary Issues
By ryan September 22, 2000
President Hunter R. Rawlings III and Provost Biddy (Carolyn A.) Martin held a question and answer session yesterday with faculty in the College of Arts and Sciences to address the proposed faculty salary plan. The financial policies committee of the Faculty Senate and an ad hoc committee from the arts college has worked with administrators over the past year to identify a salary goal based on peer institutions. The plan is to increase salaries over the next five years in the endowed colleges and over six years in the statutory colleges. Some lecturers and senior lecturers, however, expressed concern at the meeting that the plan is aimed primarily at tenured professors. "We have faculty who bring us some very good ideas; these faculty cost something," Rawlings told faculty. "The proper goal was that Cornell should reach the median of peer groups over a period of time," Rawlings explained. "The endowed colleges have, over the past five years, oscillated around 90 percent of the median. Now we have to try to move that from 90 percent to 100 percent." The plan, though, will not target individual professors, but the average of salary. Deans in each college will maintain discretion in determining salaries for individual faculty. Moreover, the proposal does not account for salary raises for faculty members who are not tenured professors. "It's a different set of issues, that doesn't mean it's a less important issue," Rawlings said. "I do believe that our first faculty meeting will be open to further discussion," said Phillip E. Lewis, the Harold Tanner dean of the arts college, addressing lecturers who attended the meeting. The principle sources of revenue for the increase include a pay-out from the endowment, as well as tuition increases. An addition of $150 million dollars to the endowment will be used both to cover the salary raises and an increase in financial aid. "I'm very confident that this plan will succeed financially," Rawlings said. Members of the ad hoc committee also expressed confidence in the proposal at the meeting. "We do remember the day that the administration said something different than what they had been," said Prof. R. Laurence Moore, history. "We're pleased with our success in terms of getting a commitment toward a goal."Archived article by Beth Herskovits
A Chat With Dean Butler
While many students in the School of Hotel Administration are quick to name high starting salaries and exciting career options as their primary reasons for studying hospitality, the school's new dean, David Butler, spoke to The Sun about the importance of hospitality as an integral part of civilization's history and his plans and priorities for the school. Q: How did your previous job as the school's associate dean of executive education prepare you for your new position? A: Since I served as the dean for the executive education operation for several years, my job was to go out around the world to this industry and talk about what they needed in the world of education. So it was kind of a nice preparation for my current role. Q: Which issues do you view as most important to the hotel school right now? A: This school, for decades, has been extraordinarily global in the impact and influence on the industry. I think what will remain for many years the most fundamental issue of the school has been the one that is stated here [in the school's mission statement], and that is both to create knowledge and to disseminate knowledge about hospitality management to the global industry. Q: How do you personally interpret the mission of the school, and what are the biggest challenges facing the school? A: The fundamental mission [is one of] creating and disseminating knowledge about hospitality management to the global hospitality industry, with a big emphasis on both "global" and "hospitality." In thinking about how to summarize what the school most needs to focus on, I think there's a lot of value in just having a few words that sort of contain the essence of the critical ideas. It's a little bit like companies that have some sort of slogan. After a lot of discussion with our faculty and our students and our alumni and other leaders in the industry … I came up with the Four R's, if you will:


Two IHACC collaborators from the University of Guelph are currently in Buhoma, Uganda collecting birth outcome data on local communities from Bwindi Community Hospital. Kate (a PhD student at the University of Guelph) and Vivienne (a McGill University graduate now working as a Research Assistant at the University of Guelph) are helping collect data for Sarah MacVicar's M.Sc. thesis project. The two will be in the field until the end of March. The IHACC team wishes them the best of luck, and a successful field experience!

A septum in cell biology is the new cell wall that forms between two daughter cells as a result of cell division.

In yeast, septins form a ring structure, to which other proteins are recruited. In particular, chitinase 2 is required, an enzyme that synthesises chitin thereby building up the primary septum. A secondary septum of β-glucans and mannoproteins is then assembled using the enzyme 1,3-Beta-glucan synthase, and the primary septum degraded during cell separation. After degradation of the primary septum, a chitinous bud scar remains on both the mother and daughter cell.

Composition
In Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the primary septum is composed of linear β(1,3)-D-glucan, β(1,6) branches, and α(1,3)-D-glucan. The secondary septum in Schizosaccharomyces pombe is composed of β(1,6)-D-glucan, β(1,6) branches, and α(1,3)-D-glucan. The synthesis of linear β(1,3)-D-glucan for the primary septum is done by the enzyme β(1,3)-D-glucan synthase and regulated by a Rho GTPase. Ags1/Mok1 enzyme is responsible for the synthesis of α(1,3)-D-glucan in the primary septum and secondary septum.

Volos in Greece is situated very close to the world heritage listed Meteora – a site of unparalleled beauty that is mostly known for its hanging monasteries. Our third new destination is Canakkale in Turkey, a place with a rich history that offers unique excursions. On top of that, we will continue visiting Heraklion, the city of myths that lives and breathes culture and we also have an overnight stay at cosmopolitan Mykonos and a half day stay at breath-taking Santorini so you can wind down and enjoy a stroll through the bustling towns.
