Welcome from the Governors
Thank you for visiting our site. We hope you will find useful information on our Governors and how we carry out our roles. The Governors, like the staff and parents, consider each child to be at the heart of all we do. As governors we invest our time to support an excellent Headteacher and Senior Leadership Team and to play our part in the drive to ensure that all pupils receive the best possible education and experience at Bassett Green. We want every child to feel safe and happy in an environment that encourages them to enjoy learning. Our three main responsibilities are: to set the school's aims and priorities; to be confident that the Headteacher provides the leadership to achieve them; and to ensure that the funds the school receives are used to best effect.

Governor Role
We are a statutory corporate body which means that no governor may act on their own without proper authority from the full Governing Board. All governors carry equal responsibility for decisions made. Although appointed through different routes, the prime concern of all governors is the welfare of the school. We have discretion as to how we undertake our responsibilities but are required to constitute ourselves in line with the School Governance (Constitution) (England) Regulations 2003 and to appoint a Chair and Vice-Chair. Governors are drawn from different parts of the community, and our Governing Board comprises staff, parents, a governor approved by the Local Authority, co-opted members of the community and two Foundation governors appointed by the Aspire Trust. This helps to ensure that we have sufficient diversity of views, skills and experience.
Working together with the Headteacher, we are responsible for strategic and long-term decisions about the school. Our responsibilities include:
setting high educational standards and targets for school improvement
appointing the Headteacher
offering support and advice
ensuring the school values reflect the needs of parents, children and community
providing an environment where pupils can work in a caring, safe and inclusive place;
helping to develop school policies
managing the finances of the school
We carry out much of our business through formal meetings of the Full Governing Board and have two sub-committees that report to the Board: Resources and Teaching and Learning Committee. The Terms of Reference for these Committees are attached below.
Each governor has a special link role and we regularly visit the school to meet with staff and pupils to discuss our areas of responsibility and to consider the school's progress and future needs. Governors also undertake visits as a group to see the whole school in operation.
You can read reports on our activities and what it means to become a governor in the documents at the foot of this page.
We are happy to hear from parents, carers and members of the community. Should you wish to contact the Chair or other members of the Governing Board, please send an email to Chair@bassettgreen.net.
Please note that if you have concerns about your child's education or wellbeing, it is important to raise any issues through the Headteacher in the first instance, before contacting the Chair, as it is the Headteacher who is responsible for the internal organisation, management and control of the school.

I'm all lost in the grocery store /i could no longer store happily.
These days is Amazon Prime Day, a unique business visit to the United states diary. If the ecommerce giant introduced Prime Day final summer, from the occasion of their 20th anniversary, the one-day sale produced the company's busiest time ever before.
On Prime Day, Amazon brings the discounts. But, when I learned whenever I spent the early morning looking at countless the 1000s of discounts, the online shopping bonanza also magnifies the pressures that accompany any trip to the every thing Store.
Prime Day is less an answer to Ebony Friday than a digital version of its chaos. It's quieter—click, simply click, click—but no calmer. Rather, it compresses all the anxiety, urgency, competitors, panic, and doubt of brick-and-mortar retail's special day into your screen. If Black Friday is a physical challenge, Prime Day is a mad riddle.
How Amazon is showing its deals is a lot more complex than just what buyers typically see in stores or on the webpage. The business's old system of record rates and purchase prices, with a portion marker showing the change amongst the previous and also the latter, has been supplemented by an endless buffet of extra choices.
Some services and products conform to that old system (though, as any savvy shopper know, you shouldn't trust an inventory price). Others show a cost, a teal PRIME DAY CONTRACT label, and a lower life expectancy check-out cost. Countless services and products have actually a PRIME DAY DEAL label that claims 30 percent off at checkout, but doesn't display the low cost on the product web page. You have to go to checkout to see your discount materialize and look at this new cost.
Which is the most useful bargain?
Things grow more technical in each division, where a series of bespoke deals—$25 off your first Amazon Fresh order, 50 per cent off eggs and Eggo waffles (limit of three of each product per buyer)—are offered. Countless items in Amazon Fashion, for instance, tend to be 30 % off at check-out—but until you're looking at, you'll need to do the cost savings calculation your self. On Prime Day, shipping is free for Amazon Pantry instructions over , while get a free of charge tote case.
Do i would like a Squatty Potty? Will there be someone in my own life who would like a hand-cranked washing machine?
Hundreds of various other products have deals which can be both time-sensitive and restricted in volume. This afternoon, a couple of dummy security camera systems was choosing .99, 20 per cent from the listing cost. The offer was 45 percent reported with 90 moments remaining. Although package for a refractor telescope, 32 % off at $79.99, ended up being 76 % advertised with three and a half hours staying. Would a telescope bring me personally joy?
Am I able to consider and acquire to work today? No. Deals are ending and starting throughout the day, like matches from the first times of the U.S. Open.
This byzantine rates and offering system is a lot of things: a clearance sale; a marketing of Amazon Prime, company items, and services; a method of A/B evaluating for what rates circumstances lead to purchases. But it also signifies Amazon's gradual emancipation from the broader retail economy.
The nyc circumstances reported earlier in the day this thirty days that Amazon is moving toward abandoning list prices, which occasionally gave buyers the misconception they were getting a deal—but performed about foster the illusion that Amazon ended up being competing with the rest associated with market.
The impression I get from Prime Day is regarded as an Amazon with gone further down that road, where reviews to what things cost beyond Amazon are no longer relevant and/or feasible, as the price of everything you purchase from the organization just is present into the context of the many other things you get from the business. Free-shipping distribution packages, food services, Amazon Prime, Amazon-brand devices such as the Kindle, Echo, and Fire—together, these choices develop an entire ecosystem where no Squatty Potty price are appraised in separation.


Valentine's Day has always been one of my favorite holidays. It's not about the grand gestures for me; I love that even a simple card to tell someone you're thinking about them can make someone smile. Spreading love to one another is always beautiful.
This year, Valentine's Day is on a Tuesday. Crammed right in the middle of the work week, I know that if I don't plan ahead, it might slip by, unnoticed since we all know how busy life gets. Last weekend, I downloaded this fun shopping list from American Greetings. You can find tons of fun Valentine's-inspired ideas on the American Greetings website. Since buying cards was listed right at the top, I actually already purchased my American Greetings Valentine's Day cards!
While I was at the store purchasing cards, I also picked up American Greetings stickers and tissue paper right in the same aisle as the greeting cards. American Greetings works to make the world a more thoughtful and caring place every single day. To decorate all of my cards, I love making these fun tissue paper pom-poms!
All you need to make four flowers are: two colors of tissue paper, cellophane tape, and scissors.
1. Fold, in half, two pieces of tissue paper (one of each color), and place one inside the other.
2. Accordion fold the two pieces of tissue paper, and tape the middle together.
3. Cut once along the tape so you have two even accordions; then again so you have four.
4. Round the untaped edges of the tissue paper with your scissors.
5. Fluff and unfold the accordioned tissue paper to make a round flower.
6. Tape the flower to the front of your Valentine's Day greeting card.
My number one Valentine, for the seventh year, is my guy, Mike. He knows how much I love and appreciate him, and I am so happy that I found the perfect card to tell him so many of those things. Of course, I am working on writing my own personal note to him (part of the reason I bought the cards so early... I like to get my thoughts down just right), but when you start with a card so perfectly matched to a person, it makes the words flow so much better.
My Valentine's Day will be organized and thoughtful, thanks to American Greetings. Not only is Mike's card purchased, but also cards to send to family far away: Grandma, parents, and goddaughters. Each had their own personalized cards from American Greetings; their selection is fantastic! You can find your closest American Greetings retailer by clicking here.
What are your Valentine's Day plans this year?
How cute is that? I love little special touches like that.
I might adapt your tissue paper flowers for a superbowl party. You made it look easy!
These are the cutest! What a fun idea- thanks for sharing!
Oh how cute! They are so simple to make. I love it.
I love all your ideas for adding extra V-Day cheer into your day!! Those pom-poms are too cute!
They turned out great! Love the Vday inspiration! My mom makes these tissue pom poms for so many events...I need to tell her to do some for Vday now too. So cute!
Those poms are SO cute!! Valentine's Day is Jared's birthday so we'll be spending the day celebrating both!
Really cute idea to decorate Valentine's gift or maybe even for a baby shower!
This is so cute!! I always buy these from the store and put them together but this is so much easier since I have a ton of tissue left over! Thanks for the tutorial!

Bridgeport More than Impressive in National Web Site Ranking of Highest Earning Cities in West Virginia
By Jeff Toquinto on January 07, 2022
Bridgeport has once again found itself at the top of a national Web site's listing for West Virginia that is positive for residents and businesses.
This time, the rating comes from Stacker.com. Stacker is a "daae journalism" site that was formed in 2017 that combines data analysis with editorial context and relies on authoritative sources and subject matter experts to create stories.
Recently, the Web site released a list of the highest earning cities in West Virginia. Bridgeport fared more than just well on the list. The city fared best of all.
According to numbers compiled by the Web site, Bridgeport is the Mountain State's highest earning city. It also is the only city in West Virginia whose median household income is higher than the national average.
Bridgeport's median household income is listed at $84,382, which is 34.3 percent above the national median. It was also nearly $30,000 higher than the state's second highest earning city.
The Web site lists Bridgeport as having 41.1 percent of its households earning more than $100,000. The numbers also showed only 3.8 percent of the city's households earn less than $15,000.
Vienna ($55,562) was ranked second. The rest of the top five, in order, include South Charleston ($53,713), St. Albans ($50,755), and Weirton ($49,496).
Only two other cities from North Central West Virginia made the top 10. They were Clarksburg at number eight ($43,518) and Fairmont at number 10 ($43,319).
The Web site only lists the top 18 in the state. According to Stacker, the numbers were arrived at by utilizing data from the United States Census Bureau. From there, the cities were ranked by the 2019 "5-year estimate median household income" numbers. Every city listed had at least 3,000 households, which excludes a large number of the Mountain State's small cities.

The Bar/
Array of appointments for NSW courts
The Bar | 07 January 2019 | Grace Ormsby
The senior public defender, a law firm partner, a Federal Circuit Court judge and several barristers are among the seven new appointments to the NSW judiciary in recent weeks.
The Supreme Court of NSW will see senior public defender Mark Ierace SC join its common law division ranks, to be sworn in as a Supreme Court judge on 31 January.
Commenting on Mr Ierace's appointment, Attorney-General Mark Speakman said, "Mr Ierace brings nearly four decades of legal expertise to the judiciary, including 37 years as one of the most renowned criminal law barristers in NSW and internationally."
In his role as senior public defender, "he has appeared in hundreds of serious and high-profile criminal trials for clients who have been granted legal aid", Mr Speakman continued.
Mr Ierace acted as a war crimes prosecutor in the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, he continued, leading the team that "prosecuted the commander of the Bosnian Serbian forces that perpetrated the siege of Sarjevo", the Attorney-General noted.
On the same day as Mr Ierace's elevation was confirmed, Mr Speakman also announced the appointment of a new president of the Workers Compensation Commission.
Industrial lawyer Gerard Phillips will take up the role, and will replace the retiring president Judge Greg Keating.
Simultaneously to the presidency, Mr Speakman said Mr Phillips will also join the NSW District Court bench, with both appointments commencing on 23 January 2019.
The K&L Gates partner "is undoubtedly a leader in the field of industrial relations law and he joins the commission at a critical juncture in the development of the dispute resolution system", the Attorney-General regarded.
He also noted that Mr Phillips has "practiced extensively in every state in Australia and also the United Kingdom, appearing in all NSW court jurisdictions, as well as the High Court, across a range of criminal, civil, personal injury, industrial relations and employment matters", and brings more than 30 years of legal experience to his new roles.
The appointment of Mr Phillips to the District Court of NSW comes alongside a further five new appointments to the court.
South Australian District Court judge Susanne Cole and Federal Circuit Court judge Justin Smith SC will take up new positions in NSW, alongside barristers Graham Turnbull SC, Alister Abadee and Sharon Harris.
All five are to be sworn in this February.
In addition to District Court duties, Judge Cole will serve as a deputy president of NCAT and the head of its Administrative and Equal Opportunity and Occupational Division, Mr Speakman said.
"It is a coup for NSW to secure the services of two highly-respected judges from other Australian courts and it further demonstrates the high esteem in which our justice system is held across the nation," he explained.
"The District Court of NSW will also benefit from the considerable expertise of Mr Turnbull, who has worked extensively in criminal law both in Australia and overseas, Mr Abadee, who has been a leader in civil litigation for many years, and Ms Harris, a prosecutor with extensive experience, particularly in the difficult field of child sex abuse."

Do I Have to Pay Syntax?
Do you understand the sentence on the right? How in the world can you do it? Dr. Goodword invoked every trick in his bag to mislead you.	Obviously, speakers must perceive things in sentences beyond what they receive, for there are two ways to interpret the sentence "Remember, a spoken sentence almost always contains words not intended;" yet, we respond to only one. Why? What stops us from interpreting this sentence the way it is presented in the graphic to the right?
Listening and reading are not passive activities. As your ears receive sentences in your language your mind must actively attack it for its contents. Its weapon: grammar! But 'grammar' in a different sense. Every sentence is full of ambiguities which you must resolve using your knowlege of sentence structure, word structure, and semantics. For example, what does "The British left waffles on the Falkland Islands" mean? The political left in England can't make up its mind on the Falklands? Or the mess sergeants didn't clean up after breakfast? The words and their order are the same under either interpretation. What else can there be in a sentence other than words and their order? Plenty.
Intonation, suffixes like the -s on waffle in the sentence above, word order-all specify grammatical relations between the concepts behind the words in sentences. Our mental dictionary, the list of about 50,000 words we keep in our heads, tells us that left and waffle can either be nouns or verbs. This means that the sentence "The British left waffles on the Falkland Islands," may be parsed in two different ways. Parsing is the way we understand how words in a sentence relate to each other. We can represent the relationships of words in sentences by parsing trees, like the two below. The branches on these trees tells us how each word is related to all the other words in the sentence.
Looking at the two syntactical trees of the British headline, we see that the structure we assign to the sentence depends upon whether we decide that British is a noun or an adjective. If we decide that British is an adjective, then left must be the noun it modifies and waffles must be the verb, i.e. [The British left] [waffles on the Falkland Islands (issue)]. Only Tree No. 1 is possible. If, on the other hand, we choose The British as our noun phrase, left must be the verb and waffles then must be another noun, the direct object since it comes after the verb, i.e. [The British] [left waffles on the Falkland Islands], and only Tree No. 2 is possible. The point is that we must apply knowledge about words and sentence structures which is not present in the sounds in order to interpret such sentences as this one either way. Sentence structure is an invisible but essential part of the mental processing of language.
Syntactic ambiguity is important—and not just for politicians. It is a major component of humor in all languages. For example, did you hear about the child who returned from her first visit to Sunday School and when asked how things had gone, replied that she had learned a dumb song about some cross-eyed bear named "Gladly"? Further questioning brought out the fact that her class has been taught a hymn named "Gladly, the Cross I'd Bear". The unusual word order led the child to misanalyze (misparse) the title of the song and assign the phrase the wrong structure; that led to the major misunderstandiung of what the song was about.
So, language tells us much about ourselves, not only how we speak but why we laugh. It makes us laugh. Still, it has been the object of serious research for 4,000 years. The magic word, to repeat, is linguistics. When it turns on the relations of words in sentences, it is called syntax (which isn't a levy on misbehavior, as you can see). The best news is that you can find out much more about it right here at this web portal.
But There are no Such Things as Words! > < Back to Directory


(STATS) - James Madison quarterback Vad Lee will miss Saturday's key CAA Football game at William & Mary because of a left foot injury.
Second-year coach Everett Withers said Lee will not play in the game, but did not describe his quarterback's injury during the weekly CAA coaches conference call with the media on Monday.
A subsequent JMU news release said Lee will have an MRI on his foot and be evaluated on a week-to-week basis.
He was injured early in the fourth quarter of JMU's 59-49 loss to Richmond this past Saturday - the Dukes' first of the season. The redshirt senior was seen hobbling on the sideline and was replaced by sophomore Bryan Schor, who is expected to start for JMU (7-1, 4-1) against nationally ranked William & Mary (5-2, 3-1).
When asked if Lee's injury is season ending, Withers replied, "I didn't say that." He didn't provide a potential timetable for Lee's return.
Lee ranks first in the FCS in total offense at 375.5 yards per game and has accounted for 29 touchdowns (21 pass, eight rushing) in eight games.
Schor rushed for his first career touchdown and threw for his first score in the fourth quarter against Richmond. He is 8 for 11 for 115 yards and has carried the ball 13 times for 57 yards this season.
"In the process of building a program, you're only as good as your two," Withers said. "That's been our mantra, we talk about strength in the unit in our programs. Everybody in our unit has a responsibility to prepare the same, just like a starter. So Bryan's done an unbelievable job of that. We've had people step up because of injury in the past."

The One Thing Series
Librarian's mental health in the time of COVID-19
Supporting mental health has become more important than ever. Here are some 'real-life' experiences shared by librarians themselves.
Dr Sadie-Jane Nunis sits on various local and international councils and is passionate about promulgating a happy, healthy, and supportive profession enabling librarians to deliver their very best for their communities.
COVID-19 hit everyone like a hurricane, leading to many scrambling to adapt and adopt new ways of doing things. As libraries clamoured to meet the needs of their users, who looked after the mental well-being of our librarians?
Mental health —the taboo topic for eons.1 Even though there is increasing acknowledgement that society should support those who suffer mental health challenges, it has taken the COVID-19 pandemic to expose the extent of the issue. Showing signs of depression or bad stress management can be instant career killers. Especially given that so many librarians are front-liners who focus on delivering services to our users.
Many library professions have experienced periods of depression or burnout, albeit at varying levels.2 In part, this is due to the fact that many librarians are so engrossed in their day-to-day activities that they forget about checking in on their own mental health. Ask yourself, when did you last check in on the mental state of your colleagues, or even yourself for that matter? Not just during COVID-19, but throughout your library career? It is not uncommon for mental health issues to build slowly and silently over time.
In this article we discuss several scenarios experienced by 'real-life' librarians (identities anonymous, of course) and look at how supporting our mental health is even more important now than ever.
The challenge of mental health and stress manifests in many ways and has only been exacerbated by the pandemic. It ranges from verbal abuse from some library users (not necessarily a new problem) through to isolation from users and colleagues due to working from home and remotely (a new and somewhat strange experience). As well, the sudden and forced change of work focus and breaking away from established systems has created stress and uncertainty that impacts mental health. We are also seeing our users, young and old, facing illness, and in some cases death.
I joined the library world in late 2018, but prior to that, I had always been a 'heavy' library user. As I reflect on mental health, I think of seemingly simple things, like signs at retail outlets or hospitals that say "Do not abuse our staff" and I have always wondered, so what happens if staff are abused? What would happen if we put a similar sign at the library to protect our colleagues? Perhaps the reaction would be "Bravo, you are looking after your colleagues, your team - to some degree."
But what would you do if patrons abuse your librarians via E-mail or during a call? How would you create a safe way for staff to share this experience with you so you can support them? Will you step-up and protect your librarians, or tell them it is just part of their job?
I have a feeling that most would choose the latter. Also, some staff may not feel that abuse of that nature should be reported - maybe they see it as sign of personal weakness. Nobody likes uncomfortable situations. Don't get me wrong, I am not condoning this. I am being realistic. However, if it was me, I would put the unreasonable user in their place in a firm, courteous manner. I would adopt this approach to rebuild the library -patron working relationship. But apart from protecting your staff, how else can you help them manage the emotional and mental stress that arises from experiencing traumatic situations?
And Along Came COVID-19
There is no doubt that the pandemic has increased anxieties and fears. Firstly, most librarians have been so accustomed to seeing their patrons, and some of them really look forward to the interactions. They are also accustomed to seeing their colleagues on a daily basis, and maybe, prior to COVID-19 these regular interactions, including small talk about such things as unreasonable patrons, helped to ease the stresses of the day.
Now, staff are told to return in smaller groups, log in via ZOOM (who knew of ZOOM pre-pandemic?), and deal with the various requests via Email, chat, and other means. Means that often remove the librarian from the personal relationship with a patron. They have to figure out how to resolve as many requests from anxious users who need everything 'now'. This was especially true for requests from academic libraries.
In addition, if users are stressed out, you know there is a higher tendency for many to have shorter tempers, and unfortunately, unleash it on our poor librarians without recognising that they too are in the middle of a pandemic, and subject to changing systems, logistics and government rules that make delivering to pre-COVID expectations much harder.
If the librarians felt that they were unable to share their anxiety and stresses before with their team lead or heads, it was much worse now as everyone clamours to ensure the needs of the users take precedence over everything else. It is not that the senior library team don't want to help, it is just that there is too much happening, in too short a time, and it feels like we were writing the first draft of a future template of what to do and how to handle the pandemic.
Mental Wellness and the Librarian
Mental wellness is a positive state of mind. Those who are mentally well are able to manage their thoughts, emotions, and behaviour in an effective manner, and while increasing our mental wellness can help to reduce the chances of us developing mental illnesses, that does not mean that you are not free from any possibility of having mental health issues.3
So, what does this mean for our librarians and their state of mental health? The following real-life examples or caselets provide some real insights and could be used to open up discussions with your colleagues about how these and similar situations can be effectively managed for all.
Caselets
Caselet 1 – Pre-COVID-19u
A librarian was receiving E-mails that contained vulgarities and abuse from a particular user for years. Although he escalated it, the buck was passed back for years. The user was a loyal library member and took advantage of the situation given that nobody pushed back. The librarian was stressed and although he did share this experience with his colleagues (which helped alleviate some of the stress) every time he saw this user or his E-mail, he would suffer from anxiety attacks.
As a colleague, how would you help him?

Caselet 2 – COVID-19 hits
When Singapore was in lockdown, there was a limit set on the number of librarians who could return to work. Library attendants, who did mostly manual tasks, were left with high levels of uncertainty. This was due to the fact they had minimal work to do. Facing uncertainty about whether they would still be paid if the situation continued for months, and without the demand for them to complete their 'usual' work, they were afraid that they would be deemed as 'unnecessary expenditure' and hence, retrenched.
Even though top management assured them that the jobs were secure, given that they are more senior in age, they are afraid that the day would come when they will be told to go. They felt anxious and showed high levels of stress.
As a colleague, how would you help?
As the overall-in-charge, how would you manage these staff?
What redeployment opportunities exist that could reduce stress and keep them engaged and feeling productive?
Is to support the mental health5 of Library staff and continue advocating for better approaches to mental health issues within the profession. I am not a mental health expert, but sometimes, all you need to remember is that we are human beings with empathy. You do not need to be an expert in the area, you just need to acknowledge that when help is needed, you know how to access the experts for help.6

The Tampa Bay Rays announced that they were cancelling Manny Ramirez Bobblehead Day following his "retirement" after a failed drug test. In light of all the "Manny being Manny" decision that Ramirez made during his career, wouldn't KEEPING Bobblehead Day be more appropriate? I'm just saying. So will the Bobbleheads end up as a toys for children in an impoverished country like the t-shirts of the losing teams in championship games? That seems wrong on so "manny" levels.

Illinois Clearinghouse: Celebrating Ten Years of Data Distribution
The Illinois Natural Resources Geospatial Data Clearinghouse (Illinois Clearinghouse) was first brought on-line July 1997. The Illinois Clearinghouse serves as a gateway to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing data for Illinois and provides access to topographic maps, framework orthoimagery collections, historic aerial photography, infrastructure and natural resource data, and ArcIMS interactive Map Services. The clearinghouse is a formal National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) node (one of more than 300 worldwide) that is compliant with federal Geospatial One-Stop standards.
The Illinois Clearinghouse receives enthusiastic support from the Illinois GIS user community. Last year, 140,000 visitors accessed over 2 million Illinois Clearinghouse Web pages. During its 10-year history, customers of the Illinois Clearinghouse have enjoyed on-demand access to more than 27,800 data files and 18,300 aerial photos totaling over 35 terabytes of information free of charge. The project to enable access to 2005 digital orthoimagery collections prompted requests from Google, Mapquest, Microsoft Earth, Navteq, the Nature Conservancy, the National Weather Service, and FutureGen partner agency representatives. A Web search for the key words "Illinois" and "GIS" offers the Illinois Clearinghouse as the first Web site returned by Google, Yahoo, AOL, and Ask.com. Additionally, GIS data downloads have become part of the curriculum for geography and GIS classes at several Illinois universities.
Together with the main Illinois State Geological Survey (ISGS) home page, ISGS mapping services that provide easy access to significant data holdings (such as oil and gas well data), and an e-commerce site that will be launched soon, The Illinois Clearinghouse represents one facet of the Survey's business presence on the Internet. The Illinois Clearinghouse continues to receive broad recognition from many people in Illinois, the Midwest, and the nation. To date, over $1.3 million has been dedicated to the expansion and upkeep of the Illinois Clearinghouse. Financial support to enable on-line access to Illinois data has been sustained through 40 separate grants, contracts, and student internships from Illinois state and county agencies, universities, and federal programs.

The Most Influential Jewish Philosopher You Never Heard Of
By Diane Cole
Adapt or die: this principle now permeates discussions among not just biologists but anthropologists, sociologists, and even theologians seeking the origins of religion in an evolutionary need for group survival. The adage is especially applicable to a 1934 classic of Jewish evolution, Rabbi Mordecai M. Kaplan's "Judaism as a Civilization: Toward a Reconstruction of American Jewish Life." While Kaplan's contemporaries, theologians Martin Buber and Abraham Joshua Heschel, remain widely read today, Kaplan (1881-1983) is relatively unknown. Yet, what would contemporary American Judaism be without him?
Kaplan introduced the synagogue bat mitzvah (his daughter, Judith, was the first bat mitzvah, in 1922). He promoted Jewish community centers, created the concept of Judaism as an evolving civilization, and allowed Jews to "reconstruct" Judaism with new, relevant meanings. As a professor at the Conservative movement's Jewish Theological Seminary (JTS) for more than 50 years, he influenced several generations of rabbis. After he retired from JTS in 1963, he helped found the Reconstructionist movement.
Kaplan was — still is — often criticized as radical or even heretical. In 1945 the Union of Orthodox Rabbis (UOR) of the United States and Canada not only excommunicated Kaplan but burned his "Sabbath Prayer Book." Kaplan's introduction to the Prayer Book described it as merely an adaptation of the Orthodox prayer service for the "modern spirit." But that spirit was a rationalist cast of mind that questioned the supernatural aspects of Judaism. "Since Scripture came into being over a long period of time and through human instrumentalities," he wrote, "this prayer book avoids implying the historical accuracy of those Biblical episodes which relate miracles and supernatural events."
Kaplan also changed the liturgy by removing references to Jews as the chosen people; he kept references to the immortality of the soul but removed any mention of corporeal resurrection. To him, these changes were evolutionary survival mechanisms, like the change to rabbinic Judaism after the destruction of the Second Temple. To the UOR, the changes constituted heresy. To the outside world, the attack on Kaplan was shocking enough — in light of fresh memories of Nazi bonfires of Jewish books — so that it was reported in the New York Times and Time magazine.
So, who was this "heretic"?
Kaplan was born in Lithuania in 1881, the son of a distinguished rabbi who brought the family to New York in 1889. The younger Kaplan graduated from City College and was ordained at JTS in 1902. Working toward his doctorate in philosophy at Columbia, he was drawn to the Pragmatist philosophers and to sociologists and anthropologists studying the evolutionary benefits of religion. He also studied with Felix Adler, founder of the non-theistic Ethical Culture Society. Adler had angered many Jews, including Kaplan, who felt that Ethical Culture had "de-Judaized" Judaism. Yet Kaplan was intrigued by Adler's emphasis on ethics, social justice, and community action.
Throughout his life, Kaplan retained his belief in God and his observance of Jewish laws. But his studies convinced him that there were too many internal contradictions, and too much archeological evidence, to allow one to view the Scriptures as the work of God rather than human beings; and his goal became the development of a Jewish theology that could reconcile reason and faith and enhance a sense of communal belonging. In 1922 he left a traditional New York congregation to establish his own synagogue, the Society for the Advancement of Judaism, which became the laboratory for Kaplan's ideas about reinterpreting traditional ritual and liturgy.
In Kaplan's "reconstructed" formulation, the Jewish religion was the "soul" of the Jewish people—but just one element defining Jewish civilization. Other elements were the Jews' ethical principles, sacred scripture, language, land (Kaplan was an early, ardent Zionist), beliefs, traditions, literature, and history. Individuals could belong to and identify with the Jewish people as a culture and civilization regardless of their beliefs and practices.
In his 1937 work "The Meaning of God in Modern Jewish Religion," Kaplan also questioned the relevance of laws whose interpretation had not changed in centuries:
The very notion that any text written hundreds of years ago, at a time when the social situation was radically different from what it is today, can give us clear and valuable guidance in deciding, ethically, issues that did not arise until recent times is utterly antagonistic to the modern evolutionary outlook.
As Kaplan said elsewhere, the challenge was to take Torah seriously without taking it literally.
For Kaplan, God was not an omnipotent, supernatural being but the "power that makes for salvation," an internal force that allowed individuals to seek goodness and moral perfection for themselves and the world. Such "salvation" would be found not in the next world but in this one, through discovery of personal meaning and achievement of positive social goals. Kaplan was, in this sense, self-help guru long before the phrase was invented. He was criticized for his references to "salvation," a word closely associated with Christianity. But Kaplan answered that while Christian salvation occurs in the hereafter, the Bible also uses the term to denote "redemption from evil and self-fulfillment in this world." He explained, "Salvation means deliverance from those evils, eternal and internal, which prevent man from realizing his maximum potentialities"—in positive terms, "the maximum fulfillment of those human capacities which entitle man to be described as 'made in the image of God.'"
How radical were Kaplan's ideas? His beliefs echo not only the Pragmatists and Transcendentalists but Spinoza, excommunicated by his 17th century Jewish community for, among other things, denying God's supernatural powers and the notion of an afterlife. To traditional rabbis, neither Spinoza's God nor Kaplan's was recognizable.
Still, by the time Kaplan died at the age of 102, those ideas seemed less radical. The dense, often awkward quality of his writing is one fact that has kept potential readers away; another is that, as the decades passed, many of his once-controversial ideas became conventional.
Even Kaplan's idea that that the Torah was composed by different authors is now widely accepted. Etz Hayim ("Tree of Life"), the Torah and commentary volume used in most Conservative synagogues today, includes this formulation: "Detailed study . . . has led modern critical scholarship to theorize that the Torah is a compilation from several sources." And "[b]ecause the Torah, in this perspective, is an amalgam," it contains "factual inconsistencies; contradictory regulations; and differences in style, vocabulary, and even theology." While this wording does not endorse a theory of multiple authorship, it leaves the door open for readers who wish to do so.
It is a door that more 21st-century Jews might enter, if they knew it existed. These days, when discussion of religion often veers between polar extremes of fundamentalist acceptance and atheistic rejection, Kaplan's approach—adapting, or reconstructing, rather than abandoning completely—seems less radical than just plain practical. Kaplan's emphasis on Jewish "civilization," of which religion is just one part, allows secular Jews to remain connected by belonging, even without believing. And if you're not sure? Kaplan's naturalistic view of religion embraces a broad spectrum of belief, from deep spirituality to agnosticism. With mainstream religious affiliation dwindling throughout America, maybe it's time to remember Mordecai Kaplan's message: adapt or die.

Q: Compare String without stop words PHP I want to compare 2 string without stop words like
LIKE terms, are ok or contains: example: "it's two" or "two" would be considered equal.

A: $stopwords = array("it's", 'foo', '')
if (trim(str_replace($stopwords, "", $string1)) == $string2) print 'True'

A: You'll need a list of 'stop words'. You might be able to find one online, otherwise you'll have to set up one yourself.
Then it's fairly easy, use str_replace to replace all occurrences of stop words and do your comparision thereafter.

A: This sounds like homework to me so i'll explain it in pseudo code to help you get going.
Define an array that contains all "stop words".
Split the strings you want to compare on empty spaces (" ")
Now iterate through the array you get, skipping all tokens that exist in the "stop words" array.

A: You can use strpos:
if ( strpos("it's two", "two") !== false ) {
  // string "two" found in "it's two"
}

Q: NHibernate.Linq LIKE How can I produce this query using NHibernate.Linq?
WHERE this_.Name LIKE @p0; @p0 = 'test'  // Notice NO % wild card

Note, this is not Linq To Sql or Entity Framework. This is NHibernate.
Edit:
Here is the desired query using ICriteria:
criteria.Add(Expression.Like("Name", "test"));
return criteria.List<Theater>();

A: With NH 4 (and probably a bit earlier), a built-in Like string extension is available within NHibernate.Linq namespace: Like(this string matchExpression, string sqlLikePattern). (It is defined on NHibernate.Linq.SqlMethods extension class.)
using NHibernate.Linq;
...
session.Query<Theater>()
    .Where(t => t.Name.Like("test"));

A: Whilst this has been marked as resolved, which was correct at the time, may I also note that NHibernate has some extensions now so you can do the following:
Session.QueryOver<MyEntity>()
    .Where(x => x.Property.IsLike("something", MatchMode.Anywhere))
    .List();

This will do a LIKE '%something%' for you.

A: I believe this is what you are looking for:
var theaters = from theater in Session.Linq<Theater>()
               where theater.Name.Contains("test")
               select theater;

According to my tests it generates an SQL 'LIKE' statement:
"... WHERE theater.Name LIKE %test%"
which is exactly the output of the criteria snippet you have provided.

A: I had the same problem in my project and found a solution :
session.Linq<Theater>()
    .Where(x => x.Name.StartsWith("test") && x.Name.EndsWith("test");

This translates in SQL to
SELECT ... WHERE Name LIKE '%test' AND Name LIKE 'test%'

This game works with: Basilisk II, Mini vMac
Carrier Command is a cross between a vehicle simulation game and a real-time strategy game where players control a robotic aircraft carrier. The carrier is not based on any real-life aircraft carrier but has been designed specifically for the game.
The game is set in the near future, where a team of scientists have developed two robotic aircraft carriers to colonise an archipelago of sixty-four islands. Unfortunately, the more advanced carrier falls into the hands of a terrorist organization, and they plan to conquer the archipelago for their own evil ends. It is the player's job to use the less advanced carrier to colonise the islands and destroy the enemy carrier.

This game is available in color for Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64, DOS and ZX Spectrum. There is also an unofficial remake called Carrier 2.

Ok. Thanks for clearing that out.
by MacWise - 2009, August 27 - 9:51am
There were no color Macs back then, so chances are the answer is no. The Amiga version looks similar, so if you don't mind emulating that machine, you can get what you want but not the way you wanted, just like in real life
Was this ever released in Mac color?
Not that I really play this game but I saw a video in YouTube and seemed very interesting
cuz it's almost in real time and could do a lot of things (strategy) and for such a small file
got me curious, and it is hard to find the Mac color version,
and when I found the manual I was in Awe, its very long and with so many things,
in addition that almost no one says anything about this game here.
by MacWise - 2009, August 26 - 11:43am
has anyone make this one work?
I did. This is a black-and-white System 6 game. The image is in DiskDup+ format so forget about trying to open it with Disk Copy. Just mount it in your emulator as a volume and off you go. It's possible that it may run on early versions of Mac OS 7 because I could play Shufflepuck Café on that OS until I upgraded to 7.5. What I'm sure is that neither Mac OS 8 nor 9 supports black-and-white as color depth so I removed them from the list of compatible systems.
Edit: Changed 'xxx 7' to 'Mac OS 7' - IIGS User
Sure, no problem...
But, has anyone make this one work?
by IIGS_User - 2009, August 14 - 4:33pm
Perfect, thanks.
I found and uploaded the Manual where all the codes are scattered in pages and paragraphs
(the manual is the same for ALL Systems)
So hopefully this works.
Has anyone made this work?, because I found a lot more protection codes (as a JPG pics)
Send to me please, so I also could try your codes.
edit: Link removed
Has anyone made this work?, because I found a lot more protection codes (as a JPG pics) but before I spend the time writing them to Txt I just want to make sure it works
I write the right codes but it doesn't do anything and I have to quit with the Windows Task Manager.
by Euryale - 2009, August 11 - 9:22pm
It works on Basilisk, but not all the program protection codes are given, So I have to restart
the Whole thing (System 'cuz it doesn't let you just quit, once it asks for the codes) to find a possible match for the codes given
So who knows when I'm gonna be able to get a Match of the codes given.
too bad, it looks nice
I downloaded this one and must confirm that this one is the Macintosh version.
If you also have installed Apple ][ emulators, the disk image of Carrier Command will be displayed as Apple ][ disk image, but it isn't.
by Balrog - 2009, August 11 - 12:12am
@CaryMG: Then it doesn't belong here ... I'd consider it a candidate for deletion.
by CaryMG - 2009, August 10 - 10:26pm
This isn't for Macintosh.
It's an APPLE ][ diskimage -- it's running in my APPLE ][ emulator as I type this.

SUMif Gets Kinda Real On New EP | Interview
April 5, 2019 January 2, 2022 by S
San Francisco based SUMif creates electro-pop music that makes you dig into your emotions while also wanting to get up and pull someone onto the dance floor. Her debut project Pretty Cage released last year and now she's back with another one where she's not holding anything back. The 4 track EP titled Kinda Real, is based on SUMif's summer romance. It follows the story of letting someone into your world, chasing the high emotions and holding onto feelings even when it's time to move on. SUMif describes it as "a story about a relationship from falling to letting go."
The first track on the EP, Know You is all about day dreaming, wanting to be next to that one person you can't stop thinking about and escaping the noise of the world. Undone is a highlight on the EP. It takes you back to a time where you've been with someone where you create your own world and get lost in it exposing your vulnerable side. The focus of the project is on the discovery, exploration and learning that comes with a new relationship. Something we've all been through at some point in our life.
Check out the full interview below.
Image Credit: Kelly Mason
How are you feeling about the release of Kinda Real?
I'm excited to get it out there into the world, the subject matter of the EP all transpired last summer, so I'm happy for it to be set free.
Where does your passion for creating music come from?
Music makes me feeeeel like nothing else, and my favorite feeling is being at a show with friends, jumping up and down, dancing our faces off to a great song. I want to give that experience back to people. Writing a good song is the most euphoric top of the world feeling, only topped by playing said song live.
When did you realise music was the thing you wanted to do?
My parents took me to see Sheryl Crow and Michelle Branch when I was 12. I had been playing guitar before then, but that show was a turning point for me. I remember vividly thinking, "THAT, that's what I want to do."
Some of the cities you've lived in include New York City, Nashville and San Fran – what role have these cities played in the type of music you create?
In NYC I grew – I discovered myself and found independence. In Nashville I was humbled – I learned confidence in my writing, the art of co-writing, how to take constructive feedback. In San Fran I found the most incredible group of friends who push and challenge me to be the best version of myself. We've gone on the wildest adventures together and are always there to pick each other up. All of this has had an impact on my writing. Every experience of my life has led me to where I am today, all a part of the journey and therefore all a part of the music.
What do you want people to feel when they listen to Kinda Real?
I hope that people relate and connect with it. In its simplest form, its a story about a relationship from falling to letting go, most people have had some sort of similar experience.
What's the realest advice you've been given?
My mom told me, "follow your heart with an eye on reality and you'll always be happy."
Whose currently on your "inspo" playlist?
My most recent adds have been Lennon Stella, E^ST, G Flip, and Helena Deland.
What does 2019 have in store for you?
I've been in LA writing a ton, so looking forward to releasing more music and playing more shows.

CANTON, Mass. - The operator of Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin-Robbins said Thursday that its net income more than doubled in the second quarter as it benefited from a gain on the sale of a stake in its Australian operation.
The Canton, Mass. company said that beverage sales were strong in part because of new iced coffee flavors inspired by Baskin-Robbins ice cream. Dunkin' Brands also reported better doughnut sales, which were helped by the National Donut Day program. Breakfast and afternoon items also did well, with the company rolling out new products such as chicken and tuna salad wraps and new chicken sandwiches.
Its adjusted earnings beat Wall Street expectations, and its shares rose almost 3 percent in premarket trading.
Dunkin' Brands Group Inc., which debuted the Royal Munchkin and Baby Shower Cake this week in honor of the birth of Britain's Prince George Alexander Louis, earned $40.8 million, or 38 cents per share, for the period ended June 29. That's up sharply from $18.5 million, or 15 cents per share, a year ago.
The current quarter included a gain on the sale of 80 percent interest in its Baskin-Robbins Australia business. The year-ago results were weighed down by a $20.7 million litigation reserve in the prior-year period.
Stripping out unusual items, earnings were 41 cents per share in the latest quarter.
Analysts, on average, forecast earnings of 40 cents per share, according to a FactSet poll.
Shares of Dunkin' Brands rose $1.25, or 3 percent, to $43.25 before the market open.
Revenue increased 6 percent to $182.5 million from $172.4 million partly on increased sales of ice cream products. But Wall Street was looking for higher revenue of $183.9 million.
Ice cream product sales climbed to $32.8 million from $28.4 million. Dunkin' Brands also made more from franchise fees and royalty income, and sales at company-owned restaurants improved.
Sales at Dunkin' Donuts shops in the U.S. open 54 weeks or more rose 4 percent on increased traffic and people spending more per transaction. This was flat with the prior-year period.
Sales at Baskin-Robbins locations in the U.S. open 54 weeks or more rose 1.6 percent, which was slower than the 4.6 percent rise in the prior-year period. The sales benefited from the Flavors of the Month program, better cake sales around Mother's Day, Father's Day and school graduations and limited offers on take-home ice cream quarts.
Overseas, Dunkin' Donuts shops open 54 weeks or more fell 1.7 percent. This compares with a 3.5 percent increase a year earlier. For Baskin-Robbins, the figure climbed 2.6 percent, better than the 1.5 percent growth a year ago.
This metric is a key gauge of a restaurant operator's health because it excludes results from locations recently opened or closed.
Dunkin' Brands declared a third-quarter dividend of 19 cents per share. The dividend will be paid on Sept. 4 to shareholders of record on Aug. 26.
The company also announced it signed development deals with four franchise groups to make 45 new restaurants in Southern California. Dunkin' Brands said some non-traditional Dunkin' Donuts shops may open over the next several months, but that the first stand-alone restaurants are anticipated to open in 2015 in Los Angeles and Orange counties.


Michael Phelps Goes for the Gold with a $2.53 Million Arizona Mansion (Killer Pool, Included)—See Inside!
Michael Phelps can breathe a sigh of relief following the summer games. Not only is he returning home from Rio a 23-time gold medalist, but he's officially announced his retirement—and can retreat home to his very posh pad in Scottsdale, Ariz., to bask in his Olympic glory.
In December 2015, Phelps and fiancée Natalie Johnson, a former Miss California USA, purchased their $2.53 million desert dream home, according to USA Today. There, the couple have raised 3-month-old son, Boomer Phelps, who also attended the Olympic Games (below) and cheered on dad during his races.
With that, we're inserting all of the heart emojis. Keep scrolling for your peek inside the home below.
Here, we get a look inside Phelps's stunning dining area. With a stand-alone fireplace as the room's vocal point, this space offers a sophisticated place for dinner parties.
Sitting down to chat fireside is a serene experience in this chic living room.
The kitchen, with a marble island and French doors leading out to the pool area, offers an inviting space for cooking with family and friends.
The open living room offers up a large and inviting sitting area right off of the kitchen.
Phelps surely feels right at home with this not-quite-Olympic-size pool right in his backyard.
Here, we get a view of the home's grand exterior, which hints at the luxurious living experience just inside.
The master bedroom, with French doors leading to a serene outdoor space, offers some of the chicest sleeping quarters we've seen.


TopSpeed Strength & Conditioning is a private sports performance training facility located at 13932 West 108th Street in Lenexa, KS. It is one of only a handful of private facilities in America to have research-grade tools such as the 1080 Sprint testing device available for use with athletes. The facility is not your typical gym, there are no machines, no televisions, and no cozy conditions. Its' arrangement is designed purely to help individuals significantly improve their athletic ability and fitness levels. Workouts are hard, designed to push individuals to and beyond their preconceived limits.
The facility is under the direction of former Kansas City Royals Strength and Conditioning Coach Joseph Potts who is widely regarded as one of the top sports performance training coaches in America. He has trained athletes for the NFL, MLB, Professional Basketball, Professional Soccer, the Olympic Games and college athletics.
The methods used at TopSpeed provide a level of performance training that was once only available to professional and division-I college athletes. Services include Sports Performance Training (speed, power, strength and agility coaching), NFL Combine/Pro Day Preparation, Pitcher/QB Arm Care Programs, College Recruiting Assistance & much more. Also, thanks to a sponsorship agreement with OhYeah! Nutrition, the TopSpeed facility operates in the same manner as a professional sports teams' weight room whereby athletes are provided protein shakes and bars, free of charge.
Take a sneak peak at the results of the TopSpeed training methods by checking out this video of the NFL Combine performance of TopSpeed program alumni Christian Ballard. At 6'4" and 286 pounds Christian ran the fastest Forty Yard Dash amongst all interior defensive lineman and was selected by the Minnesota Vikings with their 3rd overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft.
