The purpose of this study is to identify views of counselors working at early childhood education institutions about psychological counseling and guidance services. To this end, face-to-face interviews were carried out with 73 guidance teachers using semi-structured interview forms in order to explore their views about counseling and guidance services offered in early childhood education. Qualitative phenomenological research design was used in the study. The sample consisted of 73 guidance teachers working at preschools or nursery classes in primary schools. The data were analyzed using content analysis. According to the analysis results, the guidance teachers mostly considered psychological counseling and guidance services to be necessary especially for parental education, preventiveness, and developmental guidance. They also held the view that there should be a separate assignment for the reconstruction of psychological counseling and guidance services in early childhood education and focus should be directed on especially family-related work. The results were discussed in relation to the existing literature.
Identification and recognition of the values that an individual possesses can help predict his future behaviors. In this context, it is important to examine the concept of values since it leads individual's preferences. It is also possible to see one's value orientation in profession choice. Individuals are expected to work in professions where their values can be met. It can be assumed that values are also related to vocational satisfaction. Individuals caring about their independency would be more satisfied if their occupation allows them to work independently. According to the Theory of Work Adjustment, which examines the place of vocational values in occupational choice and occupational satisfaction, the harmony between the individuals' values and the characteristics of the environment they work with ensures high vocational satisfaction. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between the departmental satisfaction, vocational values and predicted reinforcer pattern for each type of value of pre-service English language teachers studying in Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Faculty of Education, and Department of English Language in the context of Work Adjustment theory. In this descriptive study, Turkish version of the Minnesota Importance Questionnaire (TMIQ) and Predicted Reinforcer Pattern (PRP) scale were used as data collection tools. Results of the study are presented using descriptive statistics, mean comparison tables and graphics. Although females were more satisfied than males, pre-service ELT teachers were found to being satisfied for choosing ELT major in general. Results suggest that the majority of ELT students believe that becoming a teacher will probably satisfy their needs associated to associated to achievement, altruism and safety. However, majority of ELT students believe that becoming a teacher will probably not satisfy their need for; autonomy, status and comfort.
This study aims to reveal pre-service teachers' views about digital teaching materials which they have in their Technologies in Teaching and Materials Design course. In this qualitative study, phenomenological design was used. The participants of the study consist of 55 pre-service teachers studying and taking the above-mentioned course at Gazi Faculty of Education.Data were collected through "Written Form for Pre-service Teachers' Views about Digital Teaching Materials" developed by the researcher. Content analysis method was used to analyze the qualitative data collected. Findings of the study showed that pre-service teachers found the preparation of digital teaching materials useful, interesting and gripping, suitable for the age of technology, effective for their field of study. They also stated that the use of this kind of digital teaching materials needed to be more common. The study also revealed that pre-service teachers found Web 2.0 tools which they learnt to use such as presentation (Emaze and Powtoon), discussion (Padlet and Voice Threat) and interactive evaluation (Kahoot and Plickers) technically different, unusual, attractive, user-friendly, enhancing creativity and visually rich. The most frequently emphasized strengths of using these tools in the classroom were being interesting, attention grabbing, enhancing motivation and permanence, enabling active participation and effective discussion atmosphere, providing instant feedback. The limitations of using these digital teaching materials in the classroom were stated as such: the need for internet, many characters and features not being free of charge, it may lead to distraction if not used effectively, students might make insulting comments on each other, some students might feel unhappy when their faults are revealed, competition may lead to ambition. Challenges of using these tools in the classroom were stated as such: the need for fast internet connection, some tools have parts that are not free of charge and it hinders complete use of the tool, some tools are difficult to use. Considering the views regarding how digital teaching materials would support teaching process, it was found out that pre-service teachers thought such materials would draw and raise attention, make the lesson enjoyable; diverse, original and effective content would be created; more practice would be possible, learning would become permanent and easier; students' active participation would be enabled; students' motivation would be increased; effective communication would be possible; technology would be involved in the process; students' success would increase.
The purpose of the present study was to examine the reasons of school choices of middle-class families and their children within the context of the neoliberal education policies in Turkish education system. The study adopts a qualitative descriptive research approach. The data were collected via semi-structured interviews. The first study group consisted of 22 parents (13 public and 9 private schools). The second study group consisted of 30 students (16 public and 14 private school students) who were middle class, had high enough exit-exam score to be able to choose science high schools in Gaziantep province in the academic year of 2016-2017. The data were analyzed using the descriptive and content analysis techniques. The findings indicated that academic, economic, environmental, personal, social and cultural, religious, politic factors and physical conditions affected middle class parents and students school choices. The multi-factorial features demonstrate that middle-school parents and students are rather cautious and thorough in school selection. An important inference from the findings is that middle-class tends to see education as a re-generational tool serving to hold on to their social status and existence.
This study aims to put forth student misbehaviors confronted by academics and their experiences of coping with these behaviors with respect to types of student misbehaviors, setting, student characteristics, academics' responses, students' reaction to intervention, academics' feelings, attributions to possible causes of misbehaviors, and precautions to prevent repetition of misbehaviors. In this phenomenological study, the data were gathered from 19 academics working at different departments of various universities in Turkey through a semi-structured interview form in which they were asked to narrate a memory about a student misbehavior. Descriptive analysis was employed in analysis process and the codes were constantly compared. Interrater reliability of the coding was found as .80. Some of the main findings of the study include; student misbehaviors are grouped into categories of interfering with teaching of a lesson, not being interested in the lesson, inappropriate behaviors towards the academic, inappropriate behaviors towards peers, and disobeying the rules. The ratio of misbehaviors conducted by 'problematic' students is close to students who are perceived as 'unproblematic' or 'agreeable' students by the academics. The academics' responses to student misbehaviors include verbal warming, ignoring, imposing sanctions, resorting to violence, making changes about the class and leaving the setting. The students continued misbehavior, quitted misbehavior, resorted to violence or left the setting. Academics' attributions to misbehaviors are out-of-class causes (family-related, society-related and school administration related) and in-class causes (students-related, academic-related and curriculum/ school system related). With this study, it is aimed to contribute to research in the literature on academics' classroom management.
This study aimed to examine preservice classroom teachers' opinions on how educational games improve their teaching skills. In accordance with this purpose, the qualitative research design was employed. The study group was composed of 60 preservice teachers attending the Department of Primary Education in the Faculty of Education at a state university in the spring term of the 2017/2018 academic year and who took the physical education and game teaching course. A semi-structured, open-ended question form prepared in accordance with the purpose of the research and letters were used as the data collection instruments. Answers of the preservice teachers to the open-ended questions were scanned as images and transferred into digital medium. Next, the obtained data were subjected to a content analysis with the MAXQDA 12 qualitative data analysis software and the data products were analyzed with the "data coding" technique. The data obtained from the preservice teachers with letters were analyzed by both researchers descriptively. The findings achieved in the analysis were utilized to reinforce the findings on themes and codes achieved in the analysis of the data obtained with the semi-structured interview forms. It was concluded that educational games improved the preservice classroom teachers' competencies of planning and implementing the use of games in the instruction of primary school course attainments. It was also concluded in the study that the participants had been very little aware of educational games' definition and their contributions to student learning before the application and their awareness increased after the application.
Feedback can be defined as the act of providing information to the student regarding their behavior throughout the learning process as well as how much progress has been achieved as a result of such behavior. In other words, it is the communicative process that explains how successful or unsuccessful a student is at a given topic, by providing them with the opportunity of self-assessment and correction. The aim of this study is to specify the in-class oral feedback elements provided by the teachers of Turkish as a Foreign Language, along with the analysis of these feedback types and offering suggestions to those who work in the field. Employing the specific case study method among the existing qualitative research methods, this study involves the 4-week observation of the classes given by the instructors of Turkish as a Foreign Language at Istanbul University Language Center at A1, A2, B1, B2 and C1 levels. The oral feedback provided by the instructors throughout the observation sessions has been noted down and compiled. These feedback items were then analyzed in accordance with Schimmel's feedback classification (1988). Accordingly, these feedback items were classified in four groups as confirmation feedback, correct response feedback, explanatory feedback and bug-related feedback. The results of the study has shown that the instructors preferred mostly the confirmation feedback and the correct response feedback, usually used the confirmation feedback and correct response feedback in combination. On the other hand, the frequency of explanatory feedback decreased as the students' language competence level increased, and the least preferred feedback type was found to be the bug-related feedback.
Keywords: Teaching Turkish as a Foreign Language, feedback types, oral feedback.

Urban integration
Project players
Project costs and financing
A new public transport line between Paris and Les Pavillons-sous-Bois will improve transport services to the east of Paris. The T Zen 3 project will keep pace with urban development in Paris (19th arrondissement), Pantin, Bobigny, Romainville, Bondy, Noisy-le-Sec, Livry-Gargan and Les Pavillons-sous-Bois.
T Zen is an innovative transport system designed by Île-de-France Mobilités. Using dedicated bus lanes and priority at traffic lights, this new bus line integrates within the urban environment much like a tramway.
Départements 75 and 93
Connections with metro line M5 / tramways T1, T3b, T4
Future connections with M15
Creation of a bus line that will be inserted primarily along the old RN3 roadway, which will be reclassified.
Connections with existing and future public transport lines: metro M5, tramways T1, T3b, and T4, nine bus lines, and the future tramway T11 and New Grand Paris M15.
Regular, reliable bus service thanks to dedicated bus lanes and priority at traffic lights.
Accessible for all: specific amenities to facilitate access for persons with reduced mobility, including wide sliding doors and step-free access from the platforms to the T Zen.
Buses will circulate from 5 a.m. to 12 a.m. at frequent intervals (with buses running every 6 minutes, during peak hours, every 8 minutes, during off-peak hours, and every 20 minutes at night).
Real-time passenger information, both visual and audio, in stations and on board the T Zen.
By equipping the Seine-Saint- Denis area with a modern, reliable transport system, the T Zen 3 project will enhance the urban environment all along its route.
This is a comprehensive project that aims to create a new transport line, but also to develop new facilities: bike lanes, separate walking and biking paths, green spaces with trees, etc.
The project will help revitalise this former industrial area and to improve the quality of life of local residents. It fits within a fast-changing urban space. Several urban development projects are already under construction along its route.
21 new stations will be created as part of the project, which is expected to serve 42,000 passengers each day.
Mid-2011: consultation phase conducted by Île-de-France Mobilités and the Seine-Saint-Denis General Council.
Year-end 2011: approval of the consultation report by Île-de-France Mobilités. The Seine-Saint-Denis General Council is named contracting authority.
2012-2014: further studies
Year-end 2014: approval of the project's functional diagram by the Île-de-France Mobilités board of directors. RATP is named contracting authority of the bus depot.
2016: public hearings
2016-2020: concessionaires work
Year-end 2022: start-up of service
The Île-de-France Regional Council
• The Île-de-France Regional Council participates financially in the development of transport facilities in the Île-de-France region, as part of the 2007-2013 projects agreement. It co-finances studies on the T Zen 3 project
Île-de-France Mobilités
Île-de-France Mobilités designs, organises and finances public transport in the Greater Paris area. As the transport organising authority, Île-de-France Mobilités oversees compliance with the programme, as well as its calendar and costs.
The European Union invests in the Île-de-France region through the European regional development fund as part of the "In'Europe" call for projects. It participates financially (1.1m €) in insertion studies for clean urban public transport for the integrated development of the Ourcq area.
The Seine-Saint-Denis General Council
The Seine-Saint-Denis General Council, as the contracting authority and project coordinator, is responsible for conducting all technical studies and construction work for the entire route, through the start-up of service.
It is also a co-financier with the Île-de-France Regional Council.
RATP, the contracting authority for the adaptation of the Pavillons-sous-Bois bus depot to prepare for the T Zen_3 project, is responsible for conducting technical studies and construction work for the adaptation.
The projected cost of the project is 181.2m € for infrastructure (bus lanes, urban developments, stations), excluding rolling stock (2010 economic conditions).
The cost of rolling stock (T Zen 3 buses) is estimated at 12.3m € and will be 100% financed by Île-de-France Mobilités.

Lululemon Drops! The new products are live! This is a fantastically huge upload with the Rain Is Calling Jacket III in camo which has been anxiously awaited ever since we saw it uploaded on the foreign sites a few weeks ago. The Scuba Crew in Camo is another item that readers have been stalking ever since Ms. K shared it on The Sweat Edit facebook group last week. I also did a fit review this past weekend with some of these items so if you missed it, check it out here. I did a review of the Rest Less 1/2 Zip.
Have you noticed my page is loading slowly? I have. I know it's super annoying and I just wanted to let you know I'm on it. I have a web developer keyed up to help me but it's a pricey ordeal (I have to do a lot of work on the back end + upgrade my server) so that will happen in the near future, but in the meantime I wanted to let you know that I so appreciate you sticking with me even though slow loading pages are the most annoying thing. I tried fixing it myself the other night and I ended up breaking my site completely and needing help getting it back up and running. Not fun times! If you tried to access my site on Sunday night and it was down, that was why.
oh no 🙁 I'm going to spend a lot this upload. There are so many things I want.
Ooooh, the tiny butterflies on that new print!!! LOVE!
? Didn't even notice the butterflies until you mentioned it. ?
Does anyone know which black pants are pictured with the black Swing Trench?
Well…. I ordered the Radiant Rhapsody Pant in Moonphase (would like black too). I'm hoping the other items are available come payday…. Lulu, you could have staggered the good stuff!! Gosh, it's been weeks of so-so uploads and now bam! I'd like the Aligns in Antique Bark (might just throw those in the CC) and I am tempted to return the Moonphase Crops for Pants. LOVE the looks of the Back In Action Wrap and colors (the LS are a staple in my wardrobe) but at that price I'll continue to stockpile Athleta's Pranayama Wraps which are also available in long length to make sure the booty us covered. The Scuba Crews are tempting but I just ordered the Pullover in two colors and I'm not sold on patterns.
I bought the Scuba Crew in camo. Shadow Lady, I tried on the DSJ in Arctic Plum today and really liked it. The only reason I didn't buy it is that I am holding out for the Cadet Blue to come, it's in the UK. Warning to those interested in the Cherry Tint Swiftly, stock photos look nothing like the real colour that I saw in store today. The real colour is very dull, I didn't like it at all. I bought the steel blue Swiftly last week and it is way darker than the stock photos. I am liking Larkspur shown with the Rain is Calling Jacket.
How do the DSJ fit compared to the Dance Studio II, III? The Cadet is a beautiful color.
Sorry! Was thinking Dance studio Joggers!
I ordered the Arctic Plum DSJ. I bought the black one recently and absolutely love it! ❤ It fits me perfectly: long enough for my 5'9" frame, with thumb holes I can actually use, and so comfortable. I don't care about the reversibility at all. The luon side is way more comfortable to have on the inside. The hood is a good size, the draw strings on the hood work great to keep the hood in place, and the subtle stripes on the swiftly fabric and the ruffles are nice details. If they put out more colors, I'm going to have to limit myself since they are pricey.
Scuba crew in camo. Missed out on the camo on the fly pants and scuba hoodie but I think I will get more use out of the crew if it works out.
Gaaaaah! There are some really nice things in the upload today, but damn you, lulu for still teasing us with those Tuck n' Flows….I hope they also come out with other DSJ colours as well – I have 2 right now – and could always need a fresh new one! Ha ha! Come on T&Fs!
The first thing I ever bought at Lulu was a Plum DSJ, so it's nice to see them back – albeit revamped. I still have mine, and will definitely be wearing it this Fall.
I'm going to order the Swiftly tank in Bali Breeze, even though we're heading into Fall, so I probably won't wear it until April. Kind of annoyed that they're trying to offer the same color palate to the northern and southern hemispheres. Still … Bali Breeze.
I like the look of two of the rain jackets, but am not sure I can justify them. If I didn't already have so many, I would definitely pick one or both up.
Strongly considering the Radiant Rhapsody pant in Moonphase.
I've got to look really hard to see the cute workout clothes. At first glance all I see is a bunch of angry women wearing weird shoes.
Me too! I really wish they'd cheer up!
They are angry looking because they aren't allowed to wear sunglasses to protect them from the glaring lights beating down on them that make the colour of the cloths look lighter and brighter!
Well i like the camo pulliver but $98 to wear couple times… But its too late for camo on the fly so maybe i shouldnt wait. Other than that i have so many jackets that i cant justify another. I wear my navy fo drizzle twice in season…lol. My wallet is happy as i await the seawheeze choices. I am soooo tired of seeing the rainbow reflectives though i would wear them as i do jog early morning and evenings in dark…. But i cant understand wearing them during day…they are a bit juvenile albeit flashy… And most people wont know you spent $350 plus on them…lol. At some point they will be like beachscapes…no one is unloading them for more than retail these days…if that!
Broke down and bought the pack it down vest, camo rain jacket, camo scuba pullover , radiant pant and flip and reverse jacket ( from a week ago). This upload killed my pocketbook.
Can't believe the price tag on the back in action wrap. I love the tee shirt and own four. The wrap can't possibly be worth $138. I toomordered the Camo pullover. It looks a little narrow and restrictive so we'll see how it goes. I am struggling to find a running shirt for the 50 degree F range. A ls swiftly feels good for about 10 minutes then I get to hot. Arms warmers make me feel to try hard ?any suggestions??
What works best for me when it's cool to start off but not long into my run I heat up so I wear a s/s Swiftly with a lightweight jacket. Once I have warmed up I tie my jacket around my waist and I am good with only s/s sleeves. I heat up like a furnace when I run and on a 50 degree day a l/s Swiftly would be too warm for me too especially because the sleeves can't be pushed up.
I recommend a Light speed LS- it's a style from last year or the year before..I have two and I wear the crud out of them in that type of weather. They're super light and have holes for ventilation- what I really like is that I can wear with just a sports bra and then push the sleeves up once I get going. It's perfect!
You should dress for at least 10 degrees F warmer than what it is at the start of your run. You may be a little cool at the beginning but you will heat up.
For 50 degrees I wear shorts and short sleeves. Maybe gloves to keep my hands warm.
I love the 5 mile long sleeves for just this reason. Not online anymore but can find on ebay or the boards. They are perfect for that 50 degree-ish weather. I layer over my running tanks and it's perfect. Thinner than a swiftly. I rarely have to take it off. I do alternate between those and a ss swiftly with arm warmers that I can then push down if I get too hot.
for that temperature I actually would wear s/s swiftly and tights. I would wear my l/s swiftly when it's colder.
The UK sure got a lot of new stuff we didn't. They have a High Lines Pullover in modal french terry that looks nice except that it only comes in grey and black! The Extra Mile Jacket is back in four colours, including a new Dark Chrome. If they won't bring back the Fleecy Keen I think the Extra Miles is the next best thing. The fleece jacket released last week is awful. The Cadet Blue DS Jacket is gone from the UK site and now is on the HK site. They have paired it with the same colour in DSP.
I'm glad others love this because wow, this upload is so bland! The styling is also atrocious. It's like they're grappling with a few brand identities behind the scenes, and none of them are particularly good.
I agree the styling is atrocious. The photo posted above under the swing trench headline is a perfect example. The model may be the sweetest girl in the world but she just looks cold, mean, unapproachable with that mix of clothing and the lack of smile. That's not a vibe I want to give off while working out or wearing athleisure. So it puts me off buying any of this stuff.
A lot of these models are actually modeling for Nike at the moment, which is surprising.
In the Northeast snowy areas, I find North Face warmer than Lululemon. Both are warmer than you'd expect, and the styling of Lululemon's is far superior— much more flattering. But if you are protecting again slicing cold wind, I'd go with the North Face or Patagonia options.
I feel they are the opposite. If you want a real down jacket, go with Patagonia, Marmot, Mountain Hardware. The down in Lulu jackets isn't the best quality IMO and they tend to have feathers that poke out a lot more than other jacket brands and black/brown feathers show through on the white jackets. If you are looking for a down jacket or vest to run in to keep you warm then maybe I'd say buy a Lulu one as they will typically have rulu sides and be designed for running in. Even Lulu's non-down jacket last year has issues with the inside filling coming through the fabric (I now forget what the name was) and many people had to damage them out. If you are looking for a jacket for warmth to wear as an everyday type of jacket in cold, icy weather, buy from a company that built their reputation on warm weather clothing and jackets as they are MUCH better IMO. I sold my lulu down jackets because unless I was running in them, they felt cheap and I was always cold. I much prefer my Patagonia/Mountain Hardware down jackets.
If you're looking for warmth and quality, my suggestions are Canada goose, Moncler, and Patagonia. I own all three as I spend 3 months a year in winter in Banff. Moncler is for style but still insanely warm. I own 2 awesome lululemon down jackets- fluff the cold and brave the cold jackets and they are both high quality and very very warm. I've worn fluff the cold in below 30 and it kept me so warm.
I own the "fluff the cold parka" and the "brave the cold" jackets. I find they are plenty warm for my needs. The winters for me are generally pretty mild, but we did have some single digit colder days. The "fluff the cold parka" is probably much warmer than what I normally need, but it's so comfy that I'd consider getting a second if they came out in another color I loved. It's like being hugged by a warm sleeping bag. I used the "brave the cold" jacket for a trip to Iceland in March and found it plenty warm. I get tons of complements on the "brave the cold" jacket in the silver color. Both jackets are pretty pricey, but I was able to get them during a promotion/discount last year and I haven't regretted the purchases.
this is good to hear from you and poster above… the fluff the cold is the one i was considering (with a discount). ill think about it a bit longer. thanks so much!
I would say the 'fluff the cold jacket is almost too warm when it is above 30F. I live near Washington DC, and it did get cold enough last winter for the rivers to freeze over. Kept me very warm even on windy days. I walk a lot of places and my husband complained a lot more about the cold than I did on our walks. I got it in a size 6, which is my normal size in pants and most jackets.
If you are buying a down jacket for warmth and to wear casually, I would go with Patagonia. I have a Lulu Fleecy Keen that I wear when I run in very cold temperatures (think -20C or below) and it works great. But if I wore it out and about at the same temperature I would be cold.
Me if there are thumb holes? It doesn't look like it in pics but I was hoping.
Has anyone returned anything to Lulu lately? I just did last week and they were asking for my phone number. Any one know why that is? I saw they asked someone else for their phone number too.
They asked for mine with a return. I think that's how they track the purchasers.
My local stores keep track of purchases and returns via cell phone number. In case you don't have your receipt and probs to Track your shopping habits ?
All purchases and returns are recorded through your profile which they access on their computer with your phone number.
the on the fly pant in camo has reloaded in all sizes in canada!
Does anyone know how the black camo Scuba crew fits? It looks a bit restrictive? is it like the scuba material?
I located a pair in red and black. I just received the red ones and am quite impressed with them. I think i will be keeping both pairs. I wasnt expecting to want them. The red is really nice and matches the flamenco red energy bra…ss swiftly and speed shorts that i bought.

Sweet Ways to Say You Are Falling for Someone Without Saying "I Love You"
... BananaStock/BananaStock/Getty Images
When you are falling for someone, you do not need to say "I love you" to express your deepening feelings of affection. Indeed, in many cases you do not need to speak words at all to express your love. A hug, thoughtful present or kind gesture, such as helping our your new love during a tough time can convey your feelings.
Expressing Your Feelings
1 Expressing Your Feelings
Expressing gratitude for the person you care about is one effective way to share your affection explains public health researcher Rita Watson in "Psychology Today." For example, you might write a note or tell your partner in person than you are thankful for all of the fun and romantic times you have had together. You might follow up by saying that you hope to have many more. Likewise, you might tell your partner that you enjoy how you feel when you are with your partner and, if you are able to do so, articulate those feelings in detail. For example, you might say that you get butterflies in your stomach or feel like your heart is leaping out of your chest when you are together.

All-new 2019 Lexus ES ushers a new era of performance and sophistication
UAE-first, Hybrid Electric model
F-SPORT Model newly introduced to the ES lineup
Long known for its unparalleled comfort, refinement and luxury appointments, the seventh-generation Lexus ES builds on its strengths with an all-new platform and is now available through the Al-Futtaim Lexus network in the UAE, the largest distributor of green luxury vehicles, and leader in sustainable mobility for over eight years.
After six generations of unprecedented success in the luxury sedan segment, the 2019 Lexus ES makes an extraordinary leap with a striking coupe-like design, enhanced performance, and innovative technologies.
One of two major additions to the all-new Lexus ES lineup includes the ES 300h, an electrified hybrid model, which combines two power sources consisting of a petrol engine and two electric motors. The class-leading hybrid electric model enables customers to contribute to a sustainable future while enjoying increased driving satisfaction and engagement provided by its advanced technologies and cabin quietness, as well as its acceleration smoothness, especially when starting off.
The second addition is the all-new 2019 Lexus ES F-SPORT model, which further enhances the driving excitement so that drivers can enjoy a sense of oneness with the car, born of its ability to respond immediately to driving enthusiasts' intentions in various situations. In addition to a thrilling exterior that highlights its bold and aggressive personality, the all-new Lexus ES F SPORT features numerous upgrades such as a retuned suspension, 19-inch wheels and tires, and unique aluminum interior trim that gives the machine a more dynamic look and feel.
ES loyalists will find the seventh generation more spacious, quieter and safer than ever before and will be able to enjoy an exhilarating performance, class-leading active safety technology and a level of craftsmanship rarely found in this segment.
As for the environmentally-conscious, the newly introduced electrified variant, ES 300h offers over 80% better fuel savings compared to the petrol engine current generation ES.
Running 24.1km on one liter of petrol, the ES 300h is able to go 1205 kilometers on a full tank without having to stop by a petrol station.
"The first generation of this best-selling sedan debuted in 1989, and over the past 30 years, Lexus ES has evolved to constitute, thanks to its supreme quality and unbeatable dependability, a key staple in many houses and fleets," said Mohamed Maktari, Managing Director of Al-Futtaim Lexus.
"Lexus ES is the leading sedan in our line-up and one that constitutes over 70% of our sedan car sales. With the introduction of the new electrified variant, we expect the sales to spike as all institutions and individuals accelerate their efforts to reach the sustainability targets set by the UAE Government's Vision 2021."


What to say after nine years? Colin and I started this with the idea that too much of commentary, especially political commentary, would not pass an introductory Critical Thinking class. I still think this.
On the bright side, we've squeaked out a fair number of academic papers out of our work here–if all goes well, we'll get a book as well. So there is that.
Ross Kaminsky holds that the popular appellation "libertarian populist" (see Ross Douthat's recent column) is a contradiction in terms. In short, because 'libertarian' is about freedom, and populism has "nothing to do with freedom". Now, first, that's not yet a contradiction. So when I say that Bill has a brown dog, it's not an oxymoron, even though being a dog doesn't have anything to do with being brown.
But Kaminsky's argument is more for contradiction than for irrelevance. First, he opens by defining 'populist' from the dictionary.
A standard definition of "populist" includes supporting ordinary people over the elites.
Whuh? Look, I'm no great fan of the dictionary for definitions of controversial terms, but the more controversial term is 'libertarian,' not 'populist.' Not respecting common usage is the first sign of Humpty-Dumpty Semantics. Moreover, I still don't yet see why this new stipulated defintion is inconsistent with libertarianism, either. How is demagoguery inconsistent with the exercise of freedom? Isn't that exactly what demagogues invoke when they talk to folks (especially here in the States)… how we love our freedom? Moreover, why is being an 'ersatz' X inconsistent with being an X? Or how is 'ersatz X' an oxymoron? And, by the way, does he really mean 'popularizer'? Seriously, it's pretty sad when you can't even stipulate your way to a contradiction.
Please enjoy this extended exchange between a 14 year-old Rachel Parent and Canadian talk show host Kevin O'Leary on the subject of labeling GMO food. A bit of background: Parent advocates the labeling of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) while Kevin O'Leary thinks, from what I can gather based on this video, being against GMO foods is tantamount to condemning hundreds of thousands of Asian children to death. Didn't make sense to me either. Watch the whole thing: the kid is amazing.
The kid is amazing, but the real talent is O'Leary: in the face of the kid's lucid focus on the issue in question he manages not to understand a single thing.
It's a common strategy when characterizing one's opposition to use the non-argumentative device commonly called the downplayer. So one may use the opposition's language, but scarequote its best points or one may go out of one's way to emphasize how little you think of them and their points. In so doing, you prime your audience to hear anything the other side says as ridiculous. The problem with downplayers is that if you do them too much, it's not entirely clear why you're bothering to argue with or even correct this person. If the quality of the opposition is so bad, then perhaps you're not trying hard enough to find thoughtful interlocutors. Or the thoughtful ones don't talk to you.
You probably don't know him. He's not that popular.
If we wanted to torture terrorists, we should play his music to them 24-7.
He's hiding behind his rockstar makeup like a little gutless coward.
A lot of people don't even know who he is… so forget it.
And so now once Hannity has successfully downplayed to this point, he's made himself look pretty silly here — he's now having to respond to someone who he doesn't think he should have to respond to. As if to say: This person criticized me… but look at how unworthy of my concern this person is. I mean… really, just pathetic this person. Criticizing me. I'm not peeved by this or even perturbed… being criticized by such a low, low person. I mean… really. It doesn't bother me at all, because this person is such a lowly piece of garbage and he criticizes me… It's not even worth my time to even think about it, that guy, that lowly guy. Not even worth my time to even think about it. Because that guy is just so low. And to criticize me, such a lowlife. Not even worth my time. Sometimes, when you downplay too much, it undoes the force of it.
If you love public schools so much, why don't you send your own kids there, Matty?
The piece is, of course, titled "Hollywood Hypocrite?". First, there's the obvious problem with the tu quoque fallacy – hypocrisy is rarely relevant to the acceptability of the conclusion, and is more a matter of turning our attention to the person speaking and less to the matter at hand. Hence we call it a specie of ad hominem.
But I don't see Damon's case as hypocrisy. Being a public school advocate means that you want the public schools to be better and teachers to be treated with dignity. If you live in a place where those ends aren't being met, it's not hypocrisy for you to send your kids to private schools. You may not be buying in by sending your kids in, but you still pay your property taxes and can still look out for teachers. That's not hypocrisy, because there's no inconsistency there. It's like saying: We should fix the refrigerator, but move the food to your portable cooler in the meantime.


'General Hospital' spoilers relate that there's some good news for Oscar Nero (Garren Stitt), lots of drama with the serial killer case, and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Bernard) isn't impressed with Shiloh's (Coby Ryan McLaughlin) book.
That's what the latest test results for Oscar indicate, as his tumor hasn't grown at all since the last scan they did. At least, that's what Terry Randolph (Cassandra James) is calling it when giving the news to him, Kim Nero (Tamara Braun) and Drew Cain (Billy Miller). Oscar is thrilled to have something positive to report to Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy). He runs off to tell her, while mom and dad stay behind to talk more about the results. Terry doesn't believe the prognosis has changed much, but it's possible things have slowed down for a little while, anyway. She reminds them that eventually, things will likely go downhill and they'll need to have a plan, but for now, they should enjoy the temporary good news.
Meanwhile, Josslyn is getting an earful from Julian Jerome for meddling in his and Kim's relationship. He informs her she's a lot like her mother (Carly Corinthos, played by Laura Wright), which Josslyn happily accepts as a compliment. He lets her know he was more referring to her mother's nasty habit of interfering in people's lives. Oscar arrives to give his good news at the perfect time to overhear enough. He asks Josslyn what that's all about and is forced to admit to her asking Julian to step away. Oscar suggests they just let his parents live their lives, and celebrate the good news he got.
That's Sonny's assessment of Shiloh's book, which he reads some of at the suggestion of Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn). They talk about the situation with Dawn of Day some, which Alexis concluding that she doesn't really want to interfere in her adult daughters' lives. She makes a joke out of meditating and burning incense since the seminar she went to and leaves Sonny to read. As we said, he's not impressed, but the bartender who sees the book claims it changed his life. And we are so there for watching Sonny take of the cult.
Sonny briefly ties into the murder plot, when the prosecutor (Margaux Dawson, played by Elizabeth Henderickson) runs into him. He's all gung-ho for there to be no mistakes in nailing Lulu's (Emme Rylan) attacker. She's more worried about him taking the law into his hands and doesn't want any problems.
In other GH spoilers murder plot news, Liz Webber (Rebecca Herbst) is still convinced that Franco Baldwin (Roger Howarth) can't be the killer. She doesn't think he'd risk their life together in that way and throws a fit over what the PCPD did to the art therapy room and their patients' work. She may not be quite so sure now, though, as her story for the day ends with her learning that he's now officially been arrested for the other murders.
How'd that happen? It's all thanks to Not-Kevin Collins, AKA Ryan Chamberlain (Jon Lindstrom). He has planted a bunch of false notes in the file he "reluctantly" hands over when presented with a warrant. Not to mention several licenses planted in the art therapy room. The cops found those just in time, as Jordan Ashford (Vinessa Antoine) was building a case on very shaky ground. So shaky, in fact, that Franco had basically threatened to sue the crap out of her and the PCPD for this. Scotty Baldwin (Kin Shriner), who was meeting with Alexis about the will again, gets the call Franco's in trouble and rushes down to help. He points out all the ways their case is a joke, but then the big find comes along and his job has gotten much more complicated.
Speaking of complicated, Ava Jerome (Maura West) is having quite the day. She's blown away by Franco being named and says there is no way he did it, because he loved Kiki too much. Ava knows there is something not right here, but she's got other problems. When she learns Not-Kevin had "concerns" about Franco, she goes off on him and basically calls him a quack. She turns to leave in a huff when Not-Kevin seems to lose it a little and grabs her very aggressively. She's shocked by that, and he apologizes. Right now, Ava doesn't care and she still takes off, making Not-Kevin throw a tantrum a two-year-old would be proud of.
Side note: We have to acknowledge the twisted humor apparently involved in the will thing. Gail Baldwin (Susan Brown) apparently wanted further details on the terms to be released on April Fool's Day. Like seriously? Why do we feel like a massive punk is about to happen there?

Q: Web API redirect to web page I have a Web API that I need to convert to API Core 2. I have one issue I cannot seem to resolve. There is a redirect in the controller that uses Request.CreateResponse which does not appear to be available in .Net Core?
public HttpResponseMessage Get() {
    var response = Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.Redirect);
    response.Headers.Location = new Uri("https://xxx.xxxx.com");
    return response;
}

Any idea how I can modify this to work?  Basically if a user does not pass any parameters, we just send them to a web page.

A: That's what the Redirect() method exactly does:
return Redirect("https://xxx.xxx.com");

But if you want more control, you can return a ContentResult:
response.Headers.Location = new Uri("https://xxx.xxx.com");
return new ContentResult {
  StatusCode = (int)HttpStatusCode.Redirect,
  Content = "Check this URL"
};

I don't see any benefit for doing this, though. Well, unless if you use some client that will not follow the redirect and you want to provide some instructions or content in the Content property, which the client will see as the body of the returned page.

A: The syntax has changed in ASP.Net-Core. HttpResponseMessage is no longer used in action results. They will serialized like any other model returned object.
Use instead, the Controller.Redirect method which returns a RedirectResult
public IActionResult Get() {
    return Redirect("https://xxx.xxxx.com");
}

RedirectResult
RedirectResult will redirect us to the provided URL, it doesn't matter if the URL is relative or absolute, it just redirect, very simple. Other thing to note is that it can redirect us temporarily which we'll get 302 status code or redirect us permanently which we'll get 301 status code. If we call the Redirect method, it redirect us temporarily...

Reference Asp.Net Core Action Results Explained

A: You can use HttpResponseMessage instead, something like:
 var response = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.Redirect);
 response.Headers.Location = new Uri("https://insight.xxx.com");

Q: Typescript Tagged Union Types I want to discriminate some logic according to what interface my function receives. To do this I'm attempting to use tagged union types, e.g.,
someFunction(arg: TypeA | TypeB): void {
    if (arg.kind === "TypeA")
    {
        // do this
    }
    else
    {
        // do that
    }
}

where
interface TypeA {
    kind: "TypeA";
    propertyA: string;
}

interface TypeB {
    kind: "TypeB";
    propertyB: string;
}

But if I want to call this function, Typescript complains if I don't provide a value for kind, i.e.,
let typeA: TypeA;
typeA = {propertyA: ""}
someFunction(typeA);

with
TS2322: Type '{ propertyA: string; }' is not assignable to type 'TypeA'.
  Property 'kind' is missing in type '{ propertyA: string; }'.

So I don't understand how tagged types work if I have to implement the tag (kind in the example above) every time I want to discriminate. I can only assume I'm using them wrong?

A: You can define a type guard to do this. They allow you to tell the type of an argument by the value or existence of one of it's properties.
function isTypeA(arg: TypeA | TypeB): arg is TypeA {
    return (<TypeA>arg).propertyA !== undefined;
}

function someFunction(arg: TypeA | TypeB): void {
    if (isTypeA(arg))
    {
      arg.propertyA;
    }
    else
    {
        arg.propertyB
    }
}

You can read more about them here and check a working example here.


All of us goals of becoming very rich at one go. But this isn't always possible with out winning a lottery. Triumphing a lottery can change one's life significantly.

Black Movements Won This Election—Period
This win is the result of Black voters and allies in cities like Detroit, Milwaukee, Atlanta and Phoenix, people who were tired of having to fight for the rights and resources we all deserve.
By Kayla Reed and Jamecia Gray	· Updated December 7, 2020
There's no doubt that the last four years have been the most trying many of us have ever lived through. For Black and brown folks and those from other impacted communities, the burden of the outgoing administration was the heaviest. Despite the compounding pandemics of COVID-19 and police terror, Black folks still managed to organize and build political power within our communities across the nation.
Over the summer, we witnessed activists and organizers pour into the streets protesting the state-sanctioned violence against Black and brown bodies. This was not a blip in history, it was a reckoning years in the making. It was an uprising that unified and catapulted millions of folks into action and organizers into hyper drive. The Movement for Black Lives (M4BL) has become the largest movement in history because of years of tireless organizing. Strategists and activists engaging in electoral work were base-building long before Trump — and that work will continue through this new administration and beyond.
But as those documenting this moment start naming the victors responsible for this historic win, let the record show that it was the organizing, power-building and electoral strategy of Black people and those fighting in defense of Black lives, who won Biden and Harris the White House.
The Electoral Justice Project of M4BL has spent the last four years in deep partnership with many of the Black organizations and coalitions around the country that led us to victory. For example, In Georgia, SONG Power led by Mary Hooks and the New Georgia Project led by Nse Ufot have been organizing across the state for years, addressing the systemic issues that we know inform people's electoral decisions. They, along with leaders like Stacey Abrams and her team at Fair Fight, did this country a great service in registering more than 800, 000 voters ahead of this election. Those Black women were a part of the history that was made when Georgia flipped to blue for the first time in three decades.
In Michigan, Detroit Action, led by Brenden Snyder, and One Love Global, led by M4BL leader Angela Austin, moved a powerful organizing strategy that helped close the gap in the final days of the election, aiding the narrative that Black voters and those voting in defense of Black lives in cities like Detroit were using their electoral power to fight for change.
In Arizona, Mass Liberation, led by Lola Nsango, fought hard in the heart of Maricopa County to ensure Black and brown folks in Phoenix were heard loud and clear, and today we're seeing the fruits of that work.
This win isn't the result of Republican voters feeling the moral pull to vote for Biden after years of their party ignoring the violence and failed leadership of Trump's administration. We know that the majority of white voters actually doubled down on the racist, sexist rhetoric of 45 and voted for four more years of the same.
This win is the result of Black voters and allies in cities like Detroit, Milwaukee, Atlanta and Phoenix, people who were tired of having to fight for the rights and resources we all deserve, and Biden, along with the democratic establishment, owe us all a thank you.
For many, this election wasn't about candidates, it was about changing the conditions our communities were living in. It was about ensuring that fascists did not seize power for four more years and that we are able to move closer to living in a democracy that honors and values the votes, lives and voices of all of our people. Our movement knew what it needed to fight for, strategize and organize around to secure this victory. Everything we gained in this country we had to fight for and removing the outgoing administration was no different.
So, dear Democrats, you're welcome. Please know that we expect to be considered when you're developing your agendas on how you're going to address the systemic issues impacting our communities. You've seen what our movements can do. Our votes and our strategies delivered this victory.
There's so many things we're working toward, one of which is the passage of the BREATHE Act, which has already garnered more than 150,000 community co-sponsors. The BREATHE Act is historic civil rights legislation that will divest from ineffective, racist policing and invest in our people and communities.

We expect this administration to take seriously the role that Black people and those standing in solidarity with us played in ending the most horrific presidential administration in modern history, and that they give us our flowers in the way of acknowledgement, but more importantly an open door and willingness to do the hard work that's necessary to making this nation a safer, more just place for Black people.
