You often hear anglers talking about how they "fired up the school" and enjoyed a slugfest of enormous proportions. Maybe you've even been lucky enough to experience it yourself, either in the open water season or while you were ice fishing, as I was the other day for black crappies. As a matter of fact, I was blessed to enjoy the experience twice last week, and I am still pinching myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming. But I've got the screenshots of my Helix Ice 7 to keep me sane. The experiences even caused me to pause and rethink the fishing maxim that you never leave fish to find fish.
I still believe that advice is generally sound, but after unsuccessfully playing cat-and-mouse with several individual crappies that I could see on the sonar screen, in several of the holes I had drilled, I said good riddance to the tight-lipped buggers and kept drilling into new territory. Yep, that is right, I broke the rule, and left fish to find fish, and man, oh man, did it work out for me.
Imagine dropping the transducer down the hole after you cleaned out the slush and seeing the image below. My heart didn't just skip a beat, it started pounding wildly. I hit the proverbial motherlode. Do you think there were a crappie or two down there?
More importantly, however, the split second my Freedom Minnow cleared the bottom of the ice, I watched two or three fish rush up, as though they were in a race, to get to it before the others. How they could see the tiny lure 20-some feet down is beyond me, but see it they did. And it continued this way for the better part of an hour. The faster I caught and released the fish, the faster the others raced to eat the lure. As a matter of fact, I caught and released so many crappies that I reached into my tackle bag and started dropping down baits to see if I could find anything they wouldn't devour. I couldn't.
That is the power of competition, and greed.
Now, fast-forward a couple of days and I am on another lake. It's one I've never fished before, but I have heard rumours that it harbours crappies. I studied the lake map for hours and circled every likely hot spot on my Navionics app until I was confident that if the rumours were true, I'd find the fish.
I marked nothing on my sonar screen at the first few spots I stopped to check, but then at the third or fourth location, I saw the image below. You can clearly see what I am certain is a suspended crappie, plus my lure a foot or two above it. The crappie is flat lined—both literally and figuratively— while you can see the tiny nods and shakes I was imparting on my lure. Yet I could not get the fish to budge.
So, rather than waste my time on it, or any other individual fish I spotted, I kept drilling holes until I marked at least two or more crappies. And that is when it happened again. The top line on this screen shot is my lure and you can see the upside down V-shape where I jigged it fairly aggressively. And you can see what happened when the crappies thought it was going to disappear on them. They streaked after it in tandem and chased it down.
In summary, it reinforced three things for me. The first is the benefit of competition. The second is the importance of firing up the school. And what is the third? Yep, it sometimes pays to leave fish to find fish.

CONTRIBUTE TO THE BIRTH OF A NEW CONSCIOUSNESS!
We usually base our perception of reality on what our five senses receive, particularly sight. The majority of people believe that our visual interpretation of the world is real. However, the world we live in actually consists of many different worlds, most of which are invisible for us. All these worlds are part of Gaia and make up the reality we live in.
This book contains dialogues with the Sidhe, a race of human-like beings who are our direct relatives. They are invisible to our five senses and occupy one of the subtle worlds that are an integrated part of Gaia.
In the discourses presented in this book, the Sidhe and the author share how they view their respective worlds. Exploring the similarities and differences between our worlds can help us to see our human world in a different perspective. The Sidhe also share aspects of the subtle worlds that we are part of but are hardly aware of. The dialogues help the Sidhe and us to see our respective gifts and self-induced limitations. These conversations strongly invite us to look at ourselves and indicate the need for a more-inclusive, more-expanded new consciousness. By collaborating with the Sidhe and other beings from the subtle realms, such as nature spirits and unicorns, this new consciousness can be created and a new world can be born. To achieve this, we need to raise our vibrations and expand our views of reality.
This book invites you to embark on a journey. This journey is actually the journey of every soul who comes to Earth. The book stimulates you to raise your vibration and expand your view of reality by giving many suggestions how to do so. It truly can be called the start of a new consciousness.

Bridge of Remembrance
By Neil05-02-2021Popularity:10651 Comments
The Bridge of Remembrance in Hobart links two of the city's most significant public spaces – the Cenotaph and Soldiers Memorial Avenue on the Queens Domain.
An elegant, twisting plane, the 200-metre-long bridge connects both sides of the broad highway entering Hobart, providing a distinctive entry portal to the city. The four-metre-wide bridge emerges from the ground as an angular shard of metal, forming the vertical retaining wall at the base of the ramp. The plane slowly leans back, momentarily reaching a horizontal position at the end of Anzac Parade, before continuing to twist and slowly rising to near vertical as it terminates on the western side.
The bridge design responds to the duality of the site in form and materials. The two planes echo each other, twisting in parallel and flanking the bridge deck. This duality and contrast is reinforced at night, with the functional and feature lighting strategy illuminating the lighter, 'internal' surface, while leaving the darker soffit in shadow.
The design is respectful to the sensitive cultural heritage and environmental values of the site. It is elegant and restrained while being open to multiple interpretations, providing the space, physically and mentally, for people to pause and reflect.
The abstract form of the bridge lends itself to multiple readings and interpretations. This allows diversity of meaning, depending upon the observer. Potential associations that can be read into the profile include; the sleek prow of a ship, reflecting the proud Tasmanian maritime tradition; the curvature of the Tasmanian shoreline or rolling hills; or the profile of Gallipoli row boats.
The user experience has been carefully considered. Approaching from the west, two triangular profiles or wings rise between the trees, marking the way forward. As the user ascends the abutment, the two wings stand sentinel before them. At the top of the rise, the Cenotaph is framed by the flanking wings and as the user passes through, they fold back revealing the broader views of the Domain and the city beyond. Midway along the route, the flat profile of the wings creates a natural pause point and a counterpoint to the Cenotaph. The end of the ramp is a respectful distance from the Eternal Flame and Cenotaph, while still allowing the user to be engaged with this important commemorative site.
Funded by the Australian Government's Anzac Centenary Arts and Culture Fund and delivered for the City of Hobart, the AUD11M Bridge commemorates the centenary of the First World War, plays a critical role in linking the Queens Domain and activates adjacent areas and future developments.

Police lockdown Calgary core in response to attacks, 15 people arrested and charged
CALGARY, Alberta – The Calgary Police Department locked down and evacuated Calgary's downtown core yesterday in response to what appeared to be random attacks during the rush at the end of the business day. CPD also initiated hold and secure operations on 3 prominent downtown high-rise office towers.
The incidents started at around 2:45 pm on Thursday afternoon and ended in the early evening.
According to police reports, at approximately 3:00 pm the first attack was observed and reported as a window was smashed out of a car on the 300 block of 5th Ave SW, followed shortly by another car, and a mysterious shopping cart nearby. Minutes later, reports began to pour into the city's 911 dispatch center with callers providing much the same description as previous callers. Calgary Police responded to the calls en mass, sending every available unit to deal with the downtown crisis.
When officers arrived at the scenes of the reports, they began to come under fire and immediately called the tactical response unit to assist with the ongoing crisis, and then began to evacuate all civilians in the areas to safety either inside tunnels or in parkades. The situation began to turn however, when officers found a Titlist golf ball lodged in the windshield of a car at the site of one incident. Shortly thereafter, officers discovered many hundreds of golf balls were along the roadways and on the C-Train tracks on 7th Ave.
Letitia Lequan, CPD
"I've been in law enforcement for 37 years and I've never seen anything like this. There were balls flying everywhere I looked, hitting me in the face – one even got me in the crotch area. It was basically a category 5 white ball storm around me as I investigated the initial scene on 5th Avenue," commented Staff Sargent Lequan, a veteran who has been with CPD for 19 years.
While investigating, the tactical response unit observed several projectiles leaving the roof of the Bankers Hall building complex prompting them to storm the building and call for helicopter backup. Upon arrival at the rooftop access doors, they heard several men laughing and discussing golfing techniques. Officers bull-rushed the roof and placed 8 men, and 7 women into custody, all apparently intoxicated, all laughing, and all keeping score.
8 men and 7 women arrested atop the east Bankers Hall tower and taken into custody.
According to sources close to the incident, the 15 individuals arrested were apparently laid off from Cheaterson Oils Canadian office that morning, and decided to have a small going away party on the roof. When 3 of the them arrived with golf clubs and a tens of buckets of balls from vendors, the games began. Individuals in the group were challenging each other at targets chosen by the others, not realizing that there were other people and properties below.
The group included of one of the now defunct Cheaterson Strategy groups tasked with a small Alberta oil and gas fairway known as Sneaky River, a predominantly useless light oil play that is now has 99.9999% water cut and high in sour gas. Cheaterson had recently divested the play to EnerMinus, a company with less than a stellar track record in these types of low-recovery plays. Several engineers, geologists, and a landman were among the golf-terrorists, as well as 2 accountants, and a mid-level manager who had already passed out by the time police arrived on the scene.
Screen grab from CCTV surveillance video captured on the roof top.
While no one was injured during the onslaught, several thousands of dollars in damage was incurred as the group engaged in longest drive and highest chip competitions. All involved have been charged with aggravated golfing with intent to harm, drunk on an elevated rooftop, and conduct unbecoming of a professional. All persons that held APEGA memberships are now under scrutiny from the association, but it remains to be seen if they will be stripped of their designations.

What Skills are Essential to Becoming a Successful Freelance Writer?
The world of freelance writers is seeing new entrants each day. Persons who are looking to supplement their income or are simply fed up with their typical 9-to-5 jobs are making their way into the freelancing world. However, it is not easy to become a successful freelance writer and earn enough to live a good life. You need more than sound writing skills to be hailed as a successful freelance writer.
Well! The very sound of sustaining your business might seem boring but the same is required at any cost if you want to grow your freelance career. Many things come under sustenance of business. The major one is a proper accounting. You must keep a record of all the tasks that you have done so that you are able to send invoices to the clients quickly and immediately as and when asked to do so. Plus, the same is required so that you can calculate your income and determine whether you need to pay any tax over that or not.
Being a freelance writer doesn't essentially mean that you will get to write the type of content which you prefer or of which you have good knowledge. Be prepared to conduct a good amount of research before writing on a topic that might not be your type. If you write just 500 to 1000 words and someone asks you to write a 4000-word long essay on a particular topic; you simply can't refuse. First of all, that will be your chance to expand your professional boundaries and secondly, in this case, by agreeing to do the task of an essay writer, you will be able to take on similar tasks in the future, which will, indeed, help you to develop your writing skills.
This is the most essential skill that you have to learn. Being your own boss allows you to be lazy in your approach. However, if you continue to be like this you will probably put a full stop on your freelance writing career even before it has started to flourish and prosper. So, manage your time effectively and make yourself come into a routine. Take time out for entertainment also. Moreover, after some months you can go for a long vacation also to recharge yourself mentally as well as physically.
These are essential for a freelance writer so that he can put him/her forward in the field for the potential clients to view. You can either create a website for yourself or open your very own blog to get recognized in the freelance writing industry. Moreover, your presence on social media will increase your credibility further. Make sure that you put your own image on your profile.
These are not all the attributes needed to be successful at freelance writing, but they will definitely help you to set up and expand your freelance writing business. Remember, the beginning is the most difficult part. Once you have taken the first step; others will follow.

After a tease of an appearance in the generally awful Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, DC has now given Wonder Woman a proper introduction into their Extended Universe with a standalone film that properly honors the principles behind the character even when it's frustratingly conventional in its execution. While Wonder Woman is obviously groundbreaking as a female-led entry into a movie genre dominated by male protagonists, it feels slavishly devoted to the plot devices and story beats that we've seen in better superhero films over the years. Patty Jenkins hasn't directed a feature since 2003's Monster and like that masterpiece, she again builds the architecture of the film around a magnetic lead performance from an actress who's fiercely committed to the material.
The actress in this instance is Gal Gadot, returning in the title role as we learn more about her backstory as Diana on the magical island Themyscira, where she grew up training to become a powerful Amazonian warrior even though her mother Hippolyta (Connie Nielsen) warns her of the corrupting nature of war. After World War I pilot Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) crashes on the coast of their sacred island, Diana saves his life and vows to venture into the mortal realm with him in order to stop the god of war Ares, who she believes to be behind the worldwide conflict. Meanwhile, the nefarious German general Ludendorff (Danny Huston) assists chemical expert Dr. Maru (Elena Anaya) in developing a more potent form of mustard gas that's able to penetrate through the gas masks of Allied soldiers.
What's most important in a movie that deals with such an iconic figure is that it does justice to the original conception of the character and thankfully, Wonder Woman certainly does not fall short in that category. Her essence is perfectly captured in an excellent Gadot performance filled with a sense of endearing innocence and naïveté but also with an unwavering loyalty to the guiding principles that she feels will make the world a better place for everyone. The original juxtaposition of a character who regards humans with an unbridled sense of empathy and wonder against the backdrop of the ugly trench warfare of WWI that showcases mankind at its most brutal was a brilliant way to conceptualize and in some ways re-contextualize Wonder Woman for the big screen.
While the core concept and conflict remains strong throughout its lengthy runtime, Wonder Woman has basic issues in pacing and plotting that are evident even from the opening scene, which introduces a modern-day framing device that never pays off and then transitions into a sluggish first act that manages to hit just about every trope associated with superhero origin stories. When the action picks up, the fight scenes are generally well managed but the computer generated effects don't mesh as well as they should and Jenkins makes liberal use of the speed ramping film technique that producer Zack Snyder has done to death in his superhero entries. His influence is also felt throughout the film's final showdown too, which is a slightly more palatable rehash of the interminable macho beat down present in 2009's Man of Steel.
Marvel comparisons seem inevitable when discussing superhero movies these days and with its fish-out-of-water story set amongst a World War backdrop, it's hard not to see echoes of Thor and especially of Captain America: The First Avenger in this DC entry. Plot elements aside, the more vital impact that Marvel has had on this series revolves more around this film's overall feel and tone, which eschews DC's predilection for self-serious and dour storytelling in favor of a lighter and more humane touch. Wonder Woman undoubtedly represents a step in the right direction for DC's universe (though I'm sure I'm in a very limited minority of those who approved of Suicide Squad) and though it has its flaws as a standalone film, at least it strengthens the foundation of a crucial Justice League member.


I purchased a Golden Showers Climbing rose which can grow in part sun part shade. I want to plant the rose next to my garage. The area now gets 5 or more hours morning sun with the recent (last year) removal of my neighbor's Maple tree; however, there is already an established Lily of the Valley garden growing there. Can I plant the rose at the end of the Lily of the Valley colony or will it choke the rose out? Will the little lilies die now that it receives more sun? Will I have to remove some of the lilies?
My Grandmother had two climbing rosebushes with Lily of the Valley growing at their feet for years. The two seemed to get along just fine. The area on one side of her home got about the same amount of sun as you state (5 to 6 hours) too. Since the lily of the valley plants are well established, they should do okay even with the increased sun time. The key to more sun time and lily of the valley doing okay is the soils moisture. Be sure to keep any eye on the soils moisture and they should do just fine. You will likely need to remove and replant some of the lilies for the initial planting of the rosebushes, perhaps replanting some at the outer edges of the roses planting areas.


Except of finding the internship, doing the interviews and fixing all the paper work there's much more to do for a New York internship. You need to have a visa, housing for the duration of your stay, proof of a dignified health insurance, flight tickets, proof of financial status and much more. In this post I've written about the most important things for your internship. The visa sponsorship, your flight tickets and your search for accommodation.
Most important: When you go to the States, you need to have a Visa. I was required to have a J-1 Visa and to apply for this visa at the US embassy you need to have a DS-2019 document. This document can only be provided by certified organizations. You can't try to apply for your J-1 visa by yourself! Don't waste your time on trying. I've asked around about this on the All America Forum (Dutch), and they told me it's impossible to do. Fellow students who already did a New York internship also told me to go with a visa sponsor. So I went with CICD as visa sponsor because they provided me the best information. Also was my host company Night Owls already in their system thanks to their previous interns. Other visa sponsors I've contacted are Belcham, WEP, CIEE and Cultural Vistas.
Before I received a payment invoice, I needed to send them a lot of documents. To read more about my Visa struggles, please read my post about my visa hell (coming soon).
It's recommended that you don't book any flights before you have your J-1 visa in hand. The problem you'll have, is that you can only apply for a visa when you already have found your internship company. I've received confirmation from my company in October and started looking for a J-1 Visa sponsor late October. Only late november I had chosen my visa sponsor but this was also the time that the flight tickets where the cheapest. So I think that I will get my visa in hand somewhere late December, early January, but this is way too late to book cheap flight tickets.
This is why I've contacted Joker. A Belgian organization for booking all-round trips and flights. They offer also the option to reserve your flight, without booking or paying them until you confirm. With this option it was possible for me to 'reserve' a flight before I have my visa in hand.
My internship is in Lower Manhattan so for my housing it's best to find a place in Brooklyn. The prices of housings in Manhattan are too high for me during an unpaid internship. I've asked around in my network to find the cheapest possible housings and joined a few Facebook groups that offers housing as well. I've contacted some AirBNB hosts and started looking on Craigslist, but it's recommended to use Craigslist only when you are in New York yourself. So you can go looking at the places to avoid fake advertising.
This week I was searching on Airbnb and found an offer I could not refuse. I think I got the offer because I was looking for last-minute rooms, but I found a room that was priced at $ 80 / night. This room was discounted to $ 30 / Night, for a room with a double bunk bed. A double bunk bed means that I will share the room with a roommate from my school! So we could get the room for only $ 15 / night! The house is located in Brooklyn with a 30 – 45 minute commute to the Night Owls office.
We booked the Airbnb room for 14 days. This will give us a place to go to when we arrive in New York. During the first 14 days of our stay we will go looking for a more permanent stay for the rest of our internship.
The more I need to prepare for my internship, the more enthusiastic I become. Not everything is going as planned or isn't easy and requires much phone calls and emails, but for a dream internship it's absolutely worth it!
Do you provide visa assistance and help with right documents too?

                          @lastname   VARCHAR(50) out,
                          @firstname  VARCHAR(50) out,

                 @dateofhire = dateofhire,
                 @salary = salary,
                 @bonusmoney = ( salary * ( @bonus ) * 0.01 )
          FROM   salesreps
          WHERE  dateofhire < '12/31/2000'
      END

    IF @bonus = 5
      BEGIN
          SELECT @lastname = lastname,

                 @salary = salary,
                 @bonusmoney = ( salary * ( @bonus ) * 0.01 )
          FROM   salesreps
          WHERE  dateofhire >= '12/31/2000'
      END

    DECLARE @lastname   VARCHAR(50),

           dateofhire=@dateofhire,
           salary=@salary,
           bonus=@bonusmoney

The result of this is
 Lastname   Firstname  Dateofhire   Salary      Bonus
 Bernstein  Michael    1991-05-25   98000.00    19600.00

While there are 3 more records which should be here. I don't understand what I am doing wrong in the code that it is only giving me one output line. I checked the logic for where, which is correct, and also the calculation for bonus is coming out as correct.
The only problem is that it shows me only one line of output, whether I use bonus=20 or bonus=5
Any suggestions.

A: The problem is your return values are scalars not vectors.
If you want return a table and a scalar value.
CREATE PROCEDURE proc_name
                 @param int out
AS
BEGIN
    SET @param = value

    SELECT ... FROM [Table] WHERE Condition
END
GO

VARNEY: I'm sure you've heard what I've just been saying, that we have indeed reached a turn, this is my judgment, a turn from job destruction towards very limited job creation. Would you agree with that?
VARNEY: You know, Ms. Chao, I've got to interupt for just a second, I'm sorry, I hate to interrupt.
VARNEY: But look, we did create jobs in November of last year. And we've just had a revision in the January and February numbers for this year, showing a net job gain in those months and we've also gained jobs in March. This is not a blip up on a one month basis, there is a trend. Four of the last five months we have seen job creation. Now, I know it's very slow and it's not enough. We got that.
VARNEY: But it is an uptrend. It is a job creation trend.


Over 162 million gallons of untreated sewage overflowed from Portland's sewer system in 2017 – roughly equivalent to the volume of 245 Olympic swimming pools.
Over 162 million gallons of untreated sewage overflowed from Portland's sewer system on 37 distinct occasions in 2017. That's roughly equivalent to the volume of 245 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
As of Nov. 30, Portland's sewers had dumped 162,141,005 gallons of untreated sewage into Casco Bay in 2017.
Note: During wet weather, the East End Wastewater Treatment Plant gives some sewage only partial treatment, plus chemical disinfection, due to capacity constraints. This partially-treated wastewater, reported in the map above in a lighter shade of red, is then released along with fully-treated wastewater in the treatment plant's outfall pipe, located near Pomroy Rock about 500 yards from the East End Beach.


I have just posted the presentation that I gave at the Hamburg MySQL User Group last Tuesday. You can download the presentation here.
I have added a few slides on advanced topics: backup, replication and the distributed repository, which did not actually make it into my talk. However, these topics came up in the discussion over a few drinks afterwards.
Thanks to Lenz for the opportunity to present the BLOB Streaming Project and to those that were there for the good feedback.
As Lenz said, it was a "pretty technical crowd". For example, it did not go unnoticed that a denial of service attack could be launched by a malicious client, that establishes many upload connections that fill up the server's file system. Although unreferenced BLOBs of this type are deleted from the repository after 5 minutes, this is still a serious threat for anyone that exposes the MyBS HTTP port to the internet.
To prevent this it may be necessary to limit upload to clients with specific IP addresses (which could be specified by a system variable). Lenz suggested using HTTP-based authentication such as digest access authentification. Any other ideas would be welcome.
Another question was whether a BLOB could be deleted while it is being downloaded from the repository. Although BLOBs are not locked while they are downloaded, I have just realized that this is not a problem. The BLOB remains in the repository after deletion until the compactor thread removes it by deleting a repository file that contains the BLOB. And this is only done once all readers have release the repository file.
As for the deleting. I am wondering if new readers are allowed if something is marked as deleted? I assume not, otherwise one could keep something alive indefinately be just opening new downloads ..
Hmmm..., didn't think of that one!

Q&A: OCDE's Project GLAD trains educators to build literacy and language skills
This week, nearly 100 teachers, coaches, consultants and administrators are engaging in in-depth conversations about language acquisition and multiliteracy at the 26th Annual OCDE Project GLAD® NTC Conference.
The two-day conference, featuring keynote presentations from experts on language and dual immersion along with breakout sessions to share best practices, kicked off Wednesday and continues today at the DoubleTree by Hilton Anaheim.
If you're not familiar with Project GLAD®, the acronym is short for Guided Language Acquisition Design, and OCDE runs its official National Training Center. The goal is to share strategies that have been proven to build literacy and language skills for students, particularly English learners.
While there are variations, the basic Project GLAD® program spans two days, followed by four to five days of classroom demonstrations that allow participants to see how the strategies actually work with students. There are also customized follow-ups.
"We work with schools and we work with districts to identify what their needs are and then create customized supports for implementation," Manager Nicole Chavez says.
Leading up to the conference, we sat down with Chavez to talk about the history of Project GLAD®, how it works, and its capacity to assist educators at all levels. (Some responses have been edited slightly for length.)
Tell us a little bit about Project GLAD®?
Project GLAD® is a framework that helps you go from the theory of what's best to do, to actually doing it well in the classroom. So, it's the how — how to best support your students and, most specifically, your language learners.
Can you share some examples of what educators and trainers learn through the program?
All of the strategies move toward this idea of teachers supporting students in being able to speak and then transfer that speech into writing, which we know is one of the greatest ways to achieve command of a language.
So we train teachers on how to make content come alive through sketching, through pictures, and media with language that corresponds with it. We show them how to use chants that the teachers and students develop, and singing, which we know has deep connections to cognition.
We show teachers how to create collaborative workgroups where students who don't necessarily know English can participate and develop their 21st-century skills. We show teachers how to make writing fun for non-English speakers — and all of their students. That's usually a place where a lot of them get hung up.
We teach teachers how to look at oral language growth, which is one of the hardest things to do. There really isn't an assessment that you can get immediate feedback on for that. And if you're looking at proficiency growth, you've got to know on a daily and weekly basis the growth that students are making. So we train teachers how to listen and look for those opportunities to build language in everything they do.
So the focus becomes on language development and not just content?
In education, we oftentimes listen for content accuracy. Did they get the answer right? But we don't always listen to whether they communicated that in a way that we can understand. And right or wrong, what was the language they used to get there? And for a language learner that's going to be something that the teacher really needs to listen to to then be able to help. And that's not typically the way we think about what we do.
Often, general ed teachers are focusing on the ideas within content. "Have students gotten the ideas of photosynthesis, and the way in which the sun and the plant and the chlorophyll all work together?" But how many words did I just use right there that are content-specific? Those are not only terms you need to teach, but also understand how are you going to make that accessible to a non-English learner.
Education is often very content-focused.
Yes, but here's the thing: We've got to teach language through the content. That's what students are interested in.
Tell us a little about the history of Project GLAD®. How did it begin?
It started in Fountain Valley more than 35 years ago with a group of teachers who were required to support a classroom of students who were newcomers — refugees whose primary language wasn't English.
At the time, there weren't the same types of expectations we now have. So they sought out researchers, and during that era there was a lot going on in terms of research for education. So in short, they took almost 10 years to develop a version of what we see today. Then they got federal and state acknowledgement and as well as a grant to essentially mobilize this to the national level, and that's when it came here to OCDE.
What does participation look like today?
If we break this down, we have about 472 certified trainers nationally in 28 states, and trainings range from 23 to 46 participants.
Who is the ideal candidate for this type of training?
This work that we engage in shows the general education teacher how to teach language through their content areas. We also have general education teachers and instructional coaches who come to be trainers in this work. And we do have some who are specifically English-learner directors or coordinators.
If students don't have access to the content that's being delivered, which is usually in English, they're not going to make the gains to go to college. So I would say that this is applicable to all teachers in the most rural or the most densely urban cities. This is your integrated approach to teaching language.
What have you seen in terms of student outcomes?
Since we are nationwide, there isn't one metric to look at language acquisition proficiency across the states. So we rely on our trainers. They have really looked at oral language proficiency assessments and seen increases in students' language proficiency gains. Locally, Westminster showed huge gains in their reclassified student populations, which has pretty rigorous criteria. Across the states, a lot of individuals also look at gains in their state content assessments. So for California, (Smarter Balanced state assessments) would also be something to look at, because if we're doing a great job within language development, then they should have greater access to the content that's being delivered.
How has this work changed over the years?
In the past, the Project GLAD® model was seen as a great series of strategies for students, and that's a part of it. But the bigger picture is really training adults to really think differently about their teaching practices, and what best supports students. So we've done a lot more work with adult learning, having them think differently about what language looks like with the expectations today.
When this first began, there also weren't (instructional) standards. There weren't even the same types of assessments, right? So now we're completely aligned to our state standards, as well as assessments and policy.
So if I'm an educator or a trainer who is interested, how do I get involved with Project GLAD®?
You can check out the Project GLAD® website and see the different training opportunities that we've got.
Essentially, we do two types of trainings. We do open enrollment where we host trainings here within our local school districts, and our local school districts can get some of that at discounted rates or free for being a host site with us.
Secondly, we can go to them. So if we get a contract with a district and they've got 23 or more teachers, we can go to them and provide all of these trainings in their own schools and within that district.
What is the goal of this week's conference?
The emphasis is really looking at language. What we want people to walk away with is recognizing this model can serve as a framework, a construct to look at everything that you do. So we're really flipping it. We're making the attention on language and themes that are associated with language and how the model can support with language development.
We hope that this brings awareness and interest to teachers, administrators and coaches that this is an avenue to take what they're already doing well and amplify it to best meet the needs of language learners.

Astrid Maxxim and the Antarctic Expedition – Chapter 13 Excerpt
Posted on October 1, 2014 by wesleyallison
"So how was Australia?" Toby asked Astrid. "I always wanted to visit there."
"I was only there for a couple of days total, coming and going, but I really liked it. Christopher and I had a great time at Phillip Island. We saw koalas and everything."
"There is nice shopping," said Océane.
"Yes, there are great shops and restaurants in Melbourne," added Astrid. "Our hotel was really nice too."
"All right, get to the exciting parts," said Mr. Bundersmith. "I want to hear all about your adventures in Antarctica."
Astrid recounted her experiences in Dumont du'Urville and then on Amphitrite. She described all of the dives but didn't go into much detail about the encounter with her leopard seal. Océane apparently felt compelled to offer color commentary however.
"When the seal grab Astrid, I never so scared," she said.
"That must have been terrifying," said Aunt Gerta.
"It was kind of scary," agreed Astrid. "I was afraid for a moment that my dry suit might not live up to its name."
"It drag her right down and I think we lose her," continued Océane.
"It probably seemed more dramatic at the time than it really was," said Astrid.
"You see how exciting when it is on television."
"What's that now?" wondered Astrid.
"They film for my father's Antarctic television special," said Océane. "They don't have pictures of when the seal grab you, but I see the pictures of when she bring you the penguin."
"Well I for one, can't wait to see that program," said Mr. Bundersmith. "This is certainly more than I expected. I was just waiting for you to tell us about how you gave away millions of dollars worth of gold."
Astrid paused while she took a drink of water. "You heard about that, did you?"
"It's all over the news," said Toby.
"Well it was probably more like billions of dollars," she said, glancing at her father. "But it's not like we could get at it anyway."
"I think you did exactly the right thing, honey," said Dr. Maxxim. "I don't see a need to rip every resource right out of the earth as soon as it's found. Leave something for the future, I say."

Astrid Maxxim and the Antarctic Expedition – Chapter 9 Excerpt
Posted on September 27, 2014 by wesleyallison
Astrid and Christopher, bundled up to the fullest, climbed into the cab of the same large tractor in which they had been driven to the base the day before. They took their places behind the driver's seat, now occupied by Remie. Nathan, down on the hanger floor, pushed the lever to open the great door and the tractor rolled out into the icy darkness.
It wasn't snowing, but it seemed to be as the wind whipped tiny flakes of ice into the air in the beams of the ten great spotlights that led them through darkness. For the most part, the ice was smooth and the great tractor ground straight into the night.
"We'll be there in just a few minutes," said Remie. "This sensor is only four miles from the base."
"It seems like a long way," said Astrid, "especially if you were by yourself."
"We've got the radio. If something happens to the tractor, we can call for help. Don't worry."
They had barely finished talking when they saw a blinking red light in the distance. Turning just a bit to the right, the Frenchman brought the vehicle to a stop right beside it. The light was atop a large blue box-shaped piece of equipment roughly the size of Astrid's walk-in closet at home.
"It looks like the Tardis," said Christopher.
"Yeah, it does," agreed Astrid.
"This is just the control box. The sensors reach down through about 40 meters of ice and into the rock below."
"Won't the movement of the ice break them?" asked Astrid.
"Eventually, though the ice doesn't move as much here as it does closer to the Ross Shelf."
They left the tractor's engine running and climbed out into the freezing air. Remie led them to the control box and opened a panel. He flipped several switches and then opened an interior door to check a row of circuit breakers. After flipping several of them, he pulled one out and replaced it from a small stack of them just inside the compartment. Once he did so, a bank of lights came on and he began closing the device back up.
"I can't believe how cold it is," said Christopher. "We've been out here seven minutes and I'm frozen through, even with all these layers of clothes. Look at this." He pointed to the ice on the fur around his hood where the moisture from his breath had frozen.
"Makes you rethink global warming, eh?" asked Remie.
"Of course not," he replied. "Humans add almost 30 gigatons of carbon to the atmosphere each year."
"Good man. You're right of course. Measurements of the ice here show that it is almost an inch thinner than last year. That may not sound like much, but it is year after year, and the change is increasing."
"How can you put 30 billion tons of anything anywhere and not expect it to make an impact?" wondered Christopher. "Don't you agree, Astrid?"
The girl inventor didn't answer. Christopher turned to see her looking out into the frozen darkness.
"I was just thinking," she said. "I wish I hadn't watched The Thing."
When they finished eating, they walked to a large building draped with canvas tenting, next to the roller coaster. A security guard was standing by a slit in the canvas and pulled it aside, revealing a door, which he then opened. Inside they followed the marked path through the entryway and found themselves standing in the middle of a desert scene.
"We start with the triassic?" asked Christopher.
"I would have liked to have gone through the whole prehistory of the earth," said Astrid. "Since I couldn't, I decided to stick with the three geological periods of the dinosaurs."
They walked around a large rock to find themselves threatened by a group of four coelophysis, hissing and snapping their teeth-filled jaws. At the top of a hill, they could see a ferocious ticinosuchus, while closer by an elephant-sized moschops tugged at the shaggy fern.
"That's the ugliest dinosaur I've ever seen," said Denise.
"It's technically not a dinosaur," said Christopher. "It's a therapsid."
They rounded a corner, went through an arched doorway, and stood at the border between a grassy plain and a conifer forest. The painted mural on either wall made it seem as if both went on forever. Right in the middle was a massive brachiosaurus, reaching up to pluck pine needles from a tree. Nearby a pair of allosaurus harassed a stegosaurus, and beyond that a Quetzalcoatlus, the size of a jet fighter, soared overhead. Other, smaller dinosaurs hunted through the trees.
"Now these are what I call a dinosaurs!" said Austin, looking up at the Brachiosaurus. "They're so realistic. It's like we went back in a time machine. Say, why don't you invent a time machine, Astrid?"
"That's not really possible," said Astrid.
"Well, sure it is."
"Don't get her started on time travel," said Denise. "We'll never get to ride the roller coaster."
Astrid and her friends passed on through the Jurassic period and through another arched doorway to find themselves at the foot of a volcano, steam rolling down from the artificial lava. Running along the hillside were psittacosaurus, caudipteryx, and ornithomimus. Snapping and squawking below were several velociraptors. A large beipiaosaurus browsed through low-hanging trees.
"What's with all these chickens?" asked Denise. "I thought this was a dinosaur exhibit."
"These are all anatomically correct," said Christopher. "Most cretaceous dinosaurs had feathers."
"No wonder Maxxim Industries is in trouble," said Denise. "You're spending all its money building robot dinosaurs."
"Who says Maxxim Industries is in trouble?" wondered Astrid. "Did your dad say that?"
"Yes. Not my dad that works for you. He thinks you're the greatest thing ever. My other dad— he said it."
"Maxxim Industries is just fine," said Astrid.
Walking around a lava flow took the group to a triceratops nursery, where two of the huge three-horned creatures were caring for some tiny tykes just emerging from their shells. But looking over this tranquil scene from beyond the bushes was an enormous tyrannosaurus rex.
"That's odd," said Astrid.
"What?" asked Toby.
"The t-rex should be roaring and chomping and generally being scary. It's the only dinosaur not working. I think I'll take a look at it. Maybe it's something minor."
"Trust Astrid to turn riding a roller coaster into an electronics experiment," said Denise.
"You guys go on ahead," said Toby. "I'll stay with Astrid and fix the dinosaur, and then we'll follow you."
"You sure you don't mind?" asked Valerie.
"Go ahead," assured Astrid. "I'm sure we won't be more than a minute."
While Christopher, Austin, Denise, and the two Valeries continued through the last arched doorway to the ride entrance, Astrid led Toby to the base of the monstrous creature. Pulling out her pocket toolkit, she unfastened four screws on the tyrannosaurus's hip and opened a large panel.
"Is that what I think it is?" asked Toby, pointing to a cylindrical metallic object behind the panel.
"Do you think it's a pressure cooker connected to digital clock?"
"No, I think it's a bomb."
"Well, either way, you're right."

I'm in this months For Keeps scrapbooking magazine. Such a simple layout, and in the heartfelt journalling section (you know how I love to talk, lol).
The paper and butterfly sticker (which I stuck onto white cardstock and added bling) are both by Rhonna Farrer. The white letters are Quickutz studio font and the others are Heidi Swapp. The picture was taken about a year ago when we went to Perth on holidays.
Had a lovely day today. Josh and I spent about 2 hours at the Lilydale Lake having a picnic and exploring and playing on the swings. Even though it was cold, it was great to be out in the fresh air. I made a decision a few weeks ago to put Sam in creche an extra day so Josh could have a day just with me (Sam gets that time while Josh is at kinder). It's our Mum and Josh day and I think we are both really enjoying it. I took lots of photos too :).
Made some Christmas cards this afternoon. I have had a migraine yesterday and today and when it finally started to lift this afternoon I just felt like sitting and creating. Does anyone else get that surge of energy after a migraine? It's weird. I also baked cookies and a cake. I never bake these days. Weirder still.
Anyway, I got to make some cards. This one is for the Elite Challenges blog. The challenge was to use Chocolate Chip, Real Red and Sage Shadow. I got the idea to cut up a stamped image of the Stampin' Up! floral background stamp from one of the US stampers blogs - if anyone can remind me where I saw it, please post a comment so I can acknowledge their idea! I never use Real Red - in fact when I pulled this piece of cardstock out it was complete except for the punched circle I used to make my colour sheets. I really like it in this colour combination though! The main image is one of the sentiments form Stampin' Up! All Year Cheer 1.
I went a bit funkier with this one and used Old Olive and Pixie Pink to brighten it up a bit. The main image is one of the Stampin' Up! standard wheels (Only Ornaments) which has been watercoloured using the pastels and a blender pen. I then covered the ornaments with Crystal Effects to give a glazed effect. I have stamped the background with the Paisley background stamp in the same colour ink as the cardstock.
This one uses the new 'long notes' cards form the Spring Mini which is due to start selling next week. These cards are a great size (perfect size for the jumbo wheels) and I like the way they open. They also come with their own envelope (which I have stamped to match) and you get 10 cards and envelopes in a set. This one is Sahara Sand, and they also come in Cool Caribbean and So Saffron. I used the Snow Flurries stamp set (also from the Spring Mini) and the cute little tag is from Terrific Tags hostess set, which can be yours free with an order of $300 between friends!
Finally, this one is a variation of the first card using three background stamps (Weathered, Paisley and Floral) and Cranberry Crisp cardstock. Very traditional colours for Christmas.
Hope you are all having a good week. I hope to get a scrapbook page done tomorrow using some of the new spring papers, so will post that tomorrow night. I can hear thunder outside as I type this, so it may be a good day to stay inside and play. I had promised Josh a trip to the park to ride his bike, so hopefully the sun will shine long enough somewhere during the day for us to get that in.
is coming on August 1st. I received my preorder yesterday and just had to add it to the layout I had allready uploaded, so here you go again (bit like 'spot the difference' hey?). I love this punch. The rounded bit adds an interesting touch. You could also cut it straight if you wanted. Imagine the uses - layouts, cards, mini books. It's in the new Stampin' Up! Spring Mini Catalogue. Email me and I'll send you one for free.
OK, it's late and I have to go to sleep.
Nothing like new stamps to get a girl excited :) The new Stampin' Up! Spring Mini Catalogue is here. The catalogue contains newly released sets and these can be purchased between 1st August and 30th November. It's a beautiful catalogue, with over 30 new card and page ideas as well. I will be mailing these out free of charge to my existing customers and I could send you one too! Just email me your name and mailing address and it will be in the post! I think one of the hottest sellers will be the Scribble This set and the matching jumbo wheel and alphabet. It's so funky and lends itself to fun colouring of the doodled images.
This layout was made using the Scribble This set. I love the super crisp image it gave. I embossed the images with silver embossing powder and then scattered a few I had stamped in black and watercoloured with the Watercolour Wonder Crayons. Then added some bling and a title.
I didn't make this card. Tina (another demonstrator in our team) made it and sent it to me as a thankyou for a swap I am hosting. I think it's so beautiful I just wanted to show you. Tina has used the Scribble jumbo wheel as the background and then the Scribble Alphabet and one of the flowers from Scribble This as the main images. It's beautiful Tina, thanks for sending it.
Brrrr - it's been freezing in Melbourne this week. It even snowed not far from us today. Good weather for creating. I've been playing with my Cuttlebug again. Love the crispness of the embossing and the effect you get by rubbing ink over the embossing. I can't wait to see what new folders they bring out at CHA in the US at the end of this week.
Here's some cards I came up with today. This first one is using Stampin' Up! Natural Beauty set. I watercoloured the butterfly using the Stampin' Up pastels and then I covered it with Crystal Effects. I am loving my butterflies and birds at the moment.
This one uses the Stampin' Up! Simple Sketches set. This would have to be one of my favourite Stampin' Up! colour combinations - So Saffron, Rose Red and Chocolate Chip.
This one is just a quick Christmas card using the Stampin' Up! French Script background stamp and the 'Happy Holidays' sentiment from the Figures of Speech set. It was so quick, I will be making more of these.
I received this lovely card from Marelle today, which she included with some cards for a swap I am hosting. It's gorgeous don't you think? The Umbrella in the white window has some Dazzling Diamonds glitter on it but is a bit hard to see in this scan.

In mammalian ovaries, primordial follicles stay in a quiescent state until activation by the encompassing microenvironment. induction of NGF close to the incision site. In cultured newborn ovaries, NGF confirmed boost Pindolol manufacture of follicular activation, and furthermore, the NGF inhibitor K252a successfully obstructed activation of primordial follicles activated by the medical procedures. We liken ovulation in mammals to minimal tissue injury, which happens normally and cyclically in the torso. As the upsurge in NGF followed the deposition of turned on primordial follicles after ovulation, our research may represent a common system for selective follicular activation induced with a localized upsurge in NGF in interstitial cells and mediated via the mTOR signaling pathway. Furthermore, the NGF inhibitor K252a as well as the mTOR inhibitor rapamycin constitute great candidates for safeguarding follicular reserve against over exhaustion after ovarian medical procedures. In mammals, it really is widely recognized that primordial follicles are set up in finite quantities in the ovary before or about birth and stay quiescent, sometimes for many years.1 Through the entire reproductive years, the amount of primordial follicles is gradually depleted by continual recruitments before pool is exhausted at menopause.2 Therefore, the recruitment price of primordial follicles is one determinant of how lengthy the primordial follicle pool can last. In human beings, probably one of the most regular factors behind sterility is early ovarian insufficiency (POI), which impacts around 1C2% of ladies under 40 years, and is seen as a the disappearance of menstrual cycles and connected with early depletion of primordial follicles.3 Activation of primordial Pindolol manufacture follicles involves the transition from primordial follicle to main follicle, entailing oocyte growth, granulosa cell differentiation from smooth to cuboidal and theca cell recruitment.4 Through the use of transgenic mouse versions, an integral pathwaythe intra-oocyte PI3K/mTOR pathwayis growing as crucial through the changeover from primordial-to-primary follicles. Certainly, early depletion of primordial follicles sometimes appears in knockout mice missing genes of the Pindolol manufacture pathway, such as for example or offers a picture of how mammalian primordial follicles are triggered; that's, the microenvironment encircling primordial follicles can activate mTORC1-KITL signaling in pre-granulosa cells, and these cells result in the activation of dormant oocytes through KIT-PI3K signaling.8 Therefore, the analysis by Liu founded an important communication network between pre-granulosa cells and oocytes. Nevertheless, it continues to be unclear as to the reasons only a restricted quantity of primordial follicles are triggered at any moment, and the way the procedure is controlled by the encompassing microenvironment. Ovarian treatment is definitely reported to improve ovarian advancement by an unfamiliar system(s). Polycystic ovarian symptoms is considered to happen in 5C10% of reproductively aged ladies, and medical procedures with wedge resection or ovarian 'drilling' may be the standard choice for anovulation, instead of clomiphene or human being menopausal gonadotropins.9 In women undergoing procedures for bilateral endometriomas, there's a low but definite threat of post-surgical POI, and menopause may then happen sooner than normal.10 Comparable research have reported an instantaneous decrease in antral follicle counts and serum AMH amounts after cystectomy, but a partial restoration is generally observed almost a year later.11 Let's assume that the medical procedures will remove both developing and nongrowing follicles, the outcomes indicate the shrinking residual primordial follicle pool will attempt to re-establish follicular advancement after the surgery treatment. A recent research discovered that fragmentation of murine ovaries advertised the introduction of principal Pindolol manufacture follicles towards the later supplementary stage by disrupting the Hippo signaling pathway.12 However, the consequences of such ovarian damage on primordial follicles as well as the underlying system(s) involved stay unelucidated. We talk to whether this represents a common system in selective preliminary recruitment of primordial follicles. Herein, with a murine model with unilateral ovarian medical procedures, we showed limited activation of primordial follicles close to the operative incision. The powerful appearance of p-rpS6 from somatic cells to primordial follicles after that revealed the involvement from the somatic mTOR signaling pathway in follicular activation. Furthermore, we discovered that a localized boost of nerve development aspect (NGF) in the ovarian stroma functioned upstream of mTOR signaling in order to activate primordial follicles after medical procedures. Outcomes Activation of primordial follicles after ovarian medical procedures To observe the consequences of operative involvement on ovarian advancement, we set up a murine model by arbitrarily removing 1/3 of 1 ovary and departing the contralateral ovary undamaged (Amount 1A). As primordial follicles instantly enter development once turned on, we first gathered matched ovaries 3 weeks afterwards to check out follicular advancement after medical procedures. In the ovarian Rabbit Polyclonal to MRPS31 morphology, we obviously discovered the incision, and noticed clusters of principal follicles or early supplementary follicles close to the site (Amount 1B, upper -panel)..

This book is the result of a Meeting held in L'Aquila (Italy) from the 19th to the 23rd of June 1989. The aim of the Meeting was to gather together the people actively working on the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation, both from an experimental and from a theoretical point of view. In view of the intensive current activity in this field, including ongoing (COBE) and forthcoming (RELIC II, ISO, AELITA, etc. ) space missions, a meeting fully dedicated to this important topic was timely. The meeting also celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Microwave Background discovery made in 1964 by the Nobel Prize winners A. Penzias and R. Wilson. We greatly regret that we were not able to have them at the Meeting. There is of course another person whose absence we regret, namely R. H. Dicke, who motivated a generation of experimentalists and theoreticians to open and study this new field of research. As organizers of the Meeting, we would like to express our gratitude to the people who contributed to its success. We want to thank the members of the Scientific Organizing Committee for their assistance, suggestions and encouragement, the invited speakers for their excellent presentations, and the chairmen for their help in handling the various Sessions. We would like to thank P. Palazzi for her help in secretarial work, dr. L.

Setting aside vast swathes of ocean and protecting them from industrial uses such as overfishing and other development is critically important to helping both the earth and countries adapt to climate change, a global team of marine biologists says.
Large marine reserves can also help prevent some of the worst effects of climate change by helping to sequester atmospheric carbon dioxide and giving a boost to the biological processes that help ecosystems adapt, according to the team's research, published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Protected land such as national parks and monuments have long been seen by some scientists as a solution to climate change because of their ability to preserve biological diversity and store carbon in dense forests. But the new study is among the first to show how protecting large areas of open ocean may also be part of solving the global ecological challenges posed by climate change.
The research comes at a time when the world is likely to miss the United Nations Sustainable Development goal of protecting 10 percent of the world's ocean waters by 2020. In 2015, about 3.5 percent of the world's oceans had received some level of protection. The world's largest marine reserve, the Ross Sea Marine Protected Area, was created in 2016 near Antarctica. Such reserves allow some level of low-impact fishing.
Today, some of protected waters are newly threatened. For example, the world's largest "highly protected area" of ocean — Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument in Hawaii, which is nearly equal in size to the Gulf of Mexico — is among the national monuments being reviewed by the Trump administration for possible abolishment or reduction in size. A "highly protected area" outlaws any industrial activity, including fishing.
Deron Burkepile, an associate professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara who researches reef ecology and who wasn't involved in the study, said the paper is a good summary of the potential benefits of marine reserves for helping to mitigate the effects of climate change.
Marine reserves help both ecosystems and people adapt to climate change and mitigate it in a number of ways. They can help mitigate the worst effects of climate change by protecting wetlands and waters that store large amounts of the human carbon dioxide emissions. Oceans and coastal wetlands have absorbed about one-third of all human carbon emissions, and coastal wetlands are extremely efficient at capturing and sequestering that pollution.
But the ability of oceans to absorb and store carbon may decline as the climate warms.
"Coastal wetlands store organic carbon in underlying sediments for millennia and account for almost 50 percent of carbon storage in ocean sediments despite occupying 0.2 percent of ocean area," the study says.
Small disturbances, seabed mining, and fishing can disrupt these ecosystems' ability to store carbon — something that marine reserves can prevent.
Protecting coastal wetlands also helps some species adapt to ocean acidification. Ocean acidity is expected to increase by 100 percent or more by the end of the century as the oceans absorb more human carbon emissions, the study says.
Coastal mangrove forests and other wetlands help to reduce carbon dioxide concentrations in seawater locally and lower the acidity of water in the area, providing refuge for acid-sensitive species.
Ocean reserves, which protect intact coastal wetlands and reefs, also help those ecosystems adapt to sea level rise caused by climate change.
"Marine reserves protect these ecosystems from threats such as over harvesting, dredging and coastal development, helping safeguard their function as coastal defenses," the study says.
Creating large networks of protected areas helps ocean wildlife adapt to different ocean temperatures and salinity. Those changes will force species to move their habitat to different regions, and marine reserves can act as safe "landing zones" for species forced to migrate as the climate changes.
Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument is one such network of protected areas, the study says. The monument, which covers 583,000 square miles of the Pacific Ocean in the northwestern Hawaiian Islands, is expected to become a refuge for coral as warmer waters push coral habitat northward.
