Defibrillator Services NI does more than service your AED.
We will also train your staff and volunteers in the proper use of the device.
We will work with your program administrator to set up a time or times to work with your first responders as a group or individually as required.
Every person involved will be treated with courtesy and with patience. Every question and every likely situation will be answered and demonstrated completely so that in an emergency situation a life can be saved, using the knowledge gained through our Defibrillator training.
Even if a staff member or volunteer claims to already have attained a level of expertise in the proper use of an AED, Defibrillator Services NI will run them through a refresher test. As we all know, knowledge attained months or years earlier can be suddenly forgotten at a critical moment. Our purpose is to avoid a critical situation becoming a crisis, both for the stricken individual as well as the staff member or volunteer.


@TENEBRIS I'm not saying loops are good. I'm saying that its fine if someone that's not experienced (me) uses them. I will stop using loops when i get more experienced with soundation and learn ways to avoid loops.
Loops are acceptable in moderation but the majority of your track should be your own work. If you think that not being "that good" is an excuse to continue using loops that will not help you improve, then i suggest you stop trying because you'll get nowhere.
i don't want a full out debate on loops.
if you copy someones work, is it your work? if i spend ,multiple hours on a song and someone drags and drops a loop and they win, is that fair?
all tracks with loops are going to be deleted? what if it sounds like a good track? are you insane?

If you buy multiple copies you are allowed to print only up to that number of copies. Alternatively, you can share the file electronically instead; but the total number of prints and shared electronic copies must not exceed the number purchased.
Attributing a particular level of difficulty to an orchestral piece is awkward!
A piece may be easy for the strings but difficult for the brass; it may feature a tricky instrumental solo but the other parts may be relatively straight forward. A number of the arrangements listed are designed to simplify works to some extent but composers of many original works featured did not consider difficulty when writing them. What our levels mean:
A = for players up to UK Grade 3
B = Grade 3 to 5
C = Grade 4 to 6
D = Grade 5 to 7
E = Grade 6 to 8
F = Grade 7 and over
Our gradings should be taken only as a rough guide.
To be sure if a piece is suitable for you, take a look at the score.
The song-cycle Care-Charmer Sleep was written, with funds from the Ralph Vaughan Williams Trust, for Alison Mary Sutton, who was accompanied by Alan Hazeldine, in its first performance in the Purcell Room on May 18th, 1978. It was subsequently given a live broadcast on BBC Radio 3 by Jane Manning and John McCabe. Jane Manning wrote a chapter about the work in her book New Vocal Repertory (MacMillan, 1986 - see below).
It comprises fairly straight-forward tonal and atonal settings of four poems, loosely connected in their different references to sleep, as being, in the first poem, a pre-birth to love; the second, from which the cycle takes its title, a relief from strife; the third, a shadow over waking life... and in the fourth, romance is seen as a youthful drowsiness for which the poet has now no time.
The first song, The Good Morrow, is a love poem by John Donne (1572-1631), where the poet wonders "what thou and I/Did till we loved? - were we not weaned till then?... And now good morrow to our waking souls". The piano part weaves a texture around the vocal line, sometimes reminiscent of birdsong.
The second poem, a Sonnet by Samuel Daniel (1562-1619), expresses a wish to sleep through the "day's disdain". Here, the piano accompaniment is characterised by hypnotic repeated chords, which form a gigantic mirror canon. Rhythms and notes are reflected at the centre point, from which they are heard back in reverse order.
The third poem, The Morning Watch, by Henry Vaughan (1621-1695), expresses the joy of waking to the "Symphony of Nature" - sleep is a "curtained grave".
Finally comes Romance, by Edgar Allen Poe (1809-1849), typically dark, written some two centuries later. Romance is seen "with drowsy head and folded wing ... Far down within some shadowy lake", from the distance of "eternal Condor years"; the poet now has "no time for idle cares/Through gazing on the unquiet sky". Peter Lawson
Range (A - A). Duration 15 minutes
from Jane Manning's New Vocal Repertory:
"substantial and strikingly original song cycle"..."this weighty and memorable song cycle would be an excellent choice for a standard mixed recital programme"..."audiences should be carried along by its dramatic sweep and intensity".

Wise Not Withered
Expanding Media Representation of Middle-Aged + Elderly Women
Potion-Brewing Witches – ATHIEI & AKUOL
Wild MEG's Saloon and Cabaret Lounge
NANCY SPACE ROCKET
Written by wisenotwithered
Listen to the Podcast episode, which is simply an audio version of this post here: https://wisenotwithered.podbean.com/e/nancy-space-rocket/
Welcome to Week 9 of the Wise Not Withered Character Showcase! While each of these characters has a special place in my heart, I have to admit that this week's character is—by a small margin—my favorite of the twenty-five. I am ecstatic to present… NANCY SPACE ROCKET!
I had lots of ideas about Nancy Space Rocket before I found someone to write her story. I knew that I wanted her to be sassy, sarcastic, and foul-mouthed, and that her story would be told mostly through emails. I changed her name to "Lady Space Rocket" temporarily, to keep the list of characters as ethnically ambiguous as I possibly could.
When I was sending the character list to the writers and illustrators last year, nobody picked this character. This is what I had as her description:
Lady Space Rocket – Age 89
She rockets through space, in her SPACE ROCKET WHEELCHAIR. She stops to eat. She stops to shit. She stops at computers to send emails to her husband, children, grandchildren, and girlfriends. She can be… Seductive in the way she talks to her husband (when she stops to shit, she can also take nude pics in the bathroom stall to send to him), supportive to her children (grown-ass adults), tender and kind to her grandkids (emotionally volatile teenagers), sarcastic and complaining to her girlfriends (some live on Earth, some in other galaxies!). She zooms around Earth, blasting evil aliens away!!
Most of the writers I had found at that point were Instagram poets, or otherwise writers that had experience with more serious topics. I feared that maybe no one would want to write her story. A couple people who were close to me even said that it might be "too much" for her to be so vulgar. Isn't that something we as women hear a lot? We're "too much" of something, we're "not enough" of everything else.
An elderly woman who is firmly in touch with her sexuality, unafraid of profanity, zooming around in a SPACESHIP… Even though not everyone was on board with the idea, I knew deep down that this character was special and I knew I would eventually find the right person to write her story.
What ended up happening is that I actually started narrowing my search specifically to comedians. I wanted the story to be funny, so why not reach out to women whose profession was rooted in humor?
Not long after I narrowed my search, I found Lee Bartlett. Her standup sketch on YouTube had me in stitches:
"I have a special privilege of being allowed to go in the teacher's lounge. 'Cause, you know… I'm a teacher. I walk in, and this woman immediately is like, 'Students can't be in here!' I work at an elementary school. I have worked at said elementary school for like, four months. Normally, I would just storm out, offended. But the microwave lives there, and that ham and cheese hot pocket was not going to heat up itself. Not that I'm above gnawing on it frozen… But no one needs to see that shit."
When I reached out to this hilarious woman, I was overjoyed to get a positive response from her! Lee and I chatted on the phone shortly after, and boy oh boy! This insanely creative woman took my idea and ran around the galaxy with it. I gave Lee the bare-bones aforementioned description, and she crafted an entire universe (literally!) and extensive cast of characters.
Here's the backstory that Lee came up with for Nancy:
Born on Earth
Moved to Moon Colonies at 12 years old, shortly after her mother passes away in a car accident.
There was a great war over who was going to control the Moon Colonies that lasted for 3 years
Her father fought for the winning side
Was given a Lordship
Changes family name from Rousset to Rockett
Nancella Rockett is raised in a castle in the Alphabetum city of Ellium
Nancella is a very good student, despite her smart mouth. By the time she graduates from college, she has a Master's Degree in Political Science and speaks nineteen of the most common languages of the galaxy
Nancella meets Rowan Rochford at her college graduation system, they almost instantly fall in love.
At 29, they marry and Rowan adopts Nancella family name. (Which is a moon custom. Whoever is higher up in the social system gets the honor of their family name being kept. This custom has evolved and now the lower social system spouse hyphenates)
At 33, Nancella has her first child. A boy. Two more children will follow within the next five years. A girl and another boy.
Also within this time, Nancella's father dies of a heart attack.
Her father's passing makes her and Rowan the Lord and Lady of the estate.
Nancella took her father's seat in the Alphabetum governing system. She is a natural diplomat and has an extremely successful (Moon Based Only) career as she raises her three children.
At age 85, the council decides that it is time to seek new planets to expand to. When they begin to select two-people teams to conduct these search missions, Nancella insists she and Rowan be one of them.
After 3 years of training and preparation, Nan and Rowan get into a car accident. Rowan is paralyzed from the neck down and Nan loses feeling in her legs.
The upper council tries to cancel the Rockett mission, but Nan refuses to let them. She grew up with an entire universe all around. She has met people from every corner but has never got to experience it herself. This was her chance and she wasn't going to lose it. She trained for this. She is ready.
"Project Retirement" is what the mission is jokingly referred to, but Nancella calls it "Project Encore" because this is her second act to her new life.
I couldn't be happier with what Lee came up with. It's so important that each character and story—especially an elderly person who has many years of life experience—is deeply rooted in a solid background. I love that Lee kept the concept of "Lady" Space Rocket, and even fancified Nancy's full name to "Nancella Rockett".
My initial idea was to have the entire story told through emails. Lee elaborated on that: in addition to emails, Nancy would also keep a "Captain's Log", using a speech-to-text application. She also included "Clinical Notes" from Nancy's husband Rowan's doctor visit, to give a bit more context about the car accident and his recovery. Lastly, Lee also included some instant messaging chats between Nancy and her friends.
I'm including the first four pages of the story: Captain's Log #1 and #2, and Email Correspondence #1.
I absolutely love what Lee wrote for Nancy Space Rocket, and it is so clearly just the beginning.
The illustrator I found for this character was Sandy Rodríguez, whom I found on Behance. She made some really great illustrations for Nancy: one close-up of Nancy in her space suit, the inside of the space rocket showing Nancy's messy desk, and an action shot of her rocketing through space!
Sandy and Lee both took the time to talk about themselves and the character, so without further ado, here is Sandy!
"Hi! My name is Sandy Rodríguez. I'm from Guatemala City, and I started making art since I was like… I don't know, pretty young! I started graphic design, and I'm a self-taught illustrator, and I'm getting a Master's in textile design.
Some of my influences are different illustrators from my country, and from other countries too. Like Lauren Alvarez, she's Colombian. I admire her so much—her style, and her colors have really influenced me. I take Latin America as my main influence and inspiration.
The illustrations I made for Nancy Space Rocket, I really [loved] to do them! It was a pretty good experience. I love the story, it's fun, it's full of life. I wanted to portray that in my illustrations, and with the colors also. I hope you like the story and the illustrations—[I hope they] match what the story wants to get to the audience.
I decided to join the Wise Not Withered project because I think it's a really cool project! With a lot of women involved. That's what we want now, right? In our society… Really making conscious about the importance of women in all the fields. I think this project is really all about that, like I said, fun, playfulness, and everything. I hope I can work with this project in some future, and I send all of you lots of hugs and hope to get news from all of you soon. Bye!"
And here is Lee!
"Hello, yes, I am Lee Bartlett! I am a standup comedian from Phoenix, Arizona, and the author of Lady Space Rocket. From the moment I started writing this character, I absolutely fell in love with her. Nancy breaks the mold of the quiet, docile old woman. The story is set in the future: it is 2120. So I tried really hard to think of the type of person someone would be if they were the child of the children raised by my generation. And suddenly this sarcastic, strong-willed, independent woman came into form.
Creating this story was so much fun! Not only is it set in the future, but it's set in SPACE. It was so cool to sit back and imagine where we would be in a hundred years. I ended up doing some research on space travel, and developing technology, and medical things coming into rise, and learned a lot about the amazing things being created around us right now. It was even more fun to get to incorporate these elements like moon colonies, nanobyte healing into the story. It was a really out-of-this-world experience, to say the least.
I put a lot of myself into Nancy. Not just my sassy mouth, but my resilience and tenacity too. Nancy has one of the worst things in her entire life happen to her, three months before she's supposed to leave on this mission. But she pushes through. She doesn't give up, nothing stops her. Not her age, not her disability, not her problems with her family… She just keeps going. And I feel like I have a little bit in me too.
Whenever I hear Nancy's voice in my head, I picture something a little deeper in tone, and a bit raspy. She may be a Lady, but she definitely does not have a Disney princess voice by any means. As I was writing this story, I listened to a lot of lo-fi hip-hop. It's a special genre of music that's similar in beat to the classic hip-hop music, but a little softer in tone and a little more electronic. It adds a little bit of a sci-fi element to it, with some of the sound bites they use. And that really spoke to me as I was creating the story.
I joined this project because wise women deserve to see themselves as the main character of the story for once. They don't always have to be the side character. They don't have to be the main character's mom, or grandma. They deserve to be in the spotlight too. I had an amazing time doing this project. I would absolutely do it again. The narrative of the emails and the captain's log give this story a unique flow and experience for the reader.
I am Lee Bartlett, the author of Lady Space Rocket, and you should absolutely check it out! Not just because I poured my heart into it. It is an amazing read with a very strong female lead. And I highly recommend it! Thank you so much."
Thanks for tuning in this week of the Wise Not Withered Character Showcase! More showcases coming on Sundays until mid-2020!

Binary PostgreSQL installer broken when used on RedHat EL5.3 / Dell PowerEdge 2950: Hangs server reboot.
This is a very quick post that would hopefully save someone else hours of hitting the head on the wall like I did. If you are installing RedHat Enterprise Server 5.2/5.2 x86_64 on Dell PowerEdge server, be aware of the following issue with PostgreSQL binary installer offered by EnterpriseDB. After installation the server is unable to cleanly shutdown due to the fact that the binary installer does some voodoo with libtermcap - basically making this system library be used from inside postgres installation folder. Because of this, kernel can not umount /usr (or whenever your PostgreSQL is installed) and hangs the shutdown. Solution: Build PostgreSQL from the sources. They are ahead in minor version number anyway. Thanks.

SOVIET AIRPLANE ATTACKED
While flying over France today, a Russian I-L aircraft carrying Leonid Brezhnev, Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, was reportedly shot at by fighters of the French air force.
The Soviet plane was heading to the Guinea Republic on a state visit. The USSR has issued a protest saying that the French jet made 3 "dangerously close" passes and then "fired twice" across the plane's path.*
The French government will respond by saying the Soviet plane had "turned southward from the established route" & thus justified the action.
THE BEATLES APPEAR ON ED SULLIVAN
The British rock group, "The Beatles", made their 1st appearance on American television today. They performed 5 of their hit songs to a studio audience composed of many "out of control" screaming teenage girls.
73 million Americans tuned in to see "The Beatles" perform "All my lovin'", "Til there was you", "She loves you", "I saw her standing there", & "I wanna hold your hand."
FIRST US COMBAT TROOPS ARRIVE IN VIETNAM
Until today, American military forces stationed in Southeast Asia were there on an advisory capacity to the South Vietnamese Army. The first US combat troops, deployed by President Lyndon B. Johnson, have arrived in South Vietnam.
Communist China & the USSR have threatened to intervene in the war and in Moscow 2000 demonstrators have attacked the American Embassy.
Great Britain & Australia support the US decision to send combat troops while France is calling for negotiations.
JOANNE WOODWARD GETS A STAR
In the official groundbreaking ceremony of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Academy Award winning actress, Joanne Woodward, was awarded the "1st Star" today.
Miss Woodward had won the Academy Award for her role as a woman with multiple personalities in the film "The Three Faces of Eve" in 1957.*
*Today the Woodward Star is located at 6801 Hollywood Boulevard & is just one of more than 1500 stars featured on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
McCARTHY HAS A LIST OF COMMUNISTS
Senator Joseph McCarthy, (R) Wisconsin, said today that he has a "list" of more than 200 employees of the US State Department who are "known communists".
McCarthy, speaking to the Ohio County Women's Republican Club, held the "list" in his hand.
The senator claims that these employees are "still working and shaping the policy of the State Department."*
*During the early 1950s, the "witch hunt" for communists in the government of the United States will be known as "McCarthyism".
IT IS TIME FOR DAYLIGHT SAVINGS
The United States Congress has officially ordered all clocks & watches in the nation to be moved forward one hour thus creating "Daylight Saving" or "War" Time.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt had requested the change to conserve fuel consumption during wartime.*
*War Time will be in effect for all time zones. It will be repealed on September 30, 1945.
JOHN QUNICY ADAMS IS THE CHOICE OF THE HOUSE
The Presidential election of 1824 has been decided by the House of Representatives today. A majority of the votes went to John Quincy Adams of Massachusetts who will be sworn in as the 6th President of the United States on March 4.
Mr. Adams, former Secretary of State under James Monroe, had received the 2nd highest number of electoral votes in the fall election with Andrew Jackson receiving the highest. Because no candidate received a majority of the votes of all candidates (there were 4), the Constitution gives the responsibility to select the winner to the House of Representatives.*
*Henry Clay, one of the original candidates for President, gave his support to Adams & was to become Secretary of State in the Adams administration. Jackson's Tennessee supporters said that a "corrupt bargain" had been made between Clay & Adams to "cheat" their candidate out of his deserved victory.

For years, concern has mounted over the growing economic influence of China in the region, but investment is comparatively small and not a single major infrastructure project has come to fruition.
Climbing out of the commodities trap and building inclusive economies will require establishing a substantive, coordinated regional policy on integration, investment, immigration, and policy reform.
Latin America has gone global, but not just in its trade and diplomacy. A growing number of governments are copying from autocrats around the world how to restrict democratic civil society. Sadly, democrats in the region have been slow to react.
Personal contacts and questionable contracts between the government and the Chinese company CAMC Engineering reveal both the problems with public procurement in Bolivia and how far Chinese companies have advanced in the country.
Latin America invests about 2% of GDP on infrastructure. Between 1992 and 2011 China invested an average of 8.5% of GDP in infrastructure per year. Given the demonstrated effects of infrastructure on development and poverty reduction, it's time for the region to make a concerted effort to attract foreign investors.
The new, the exotic, the previously forbidden fruit may appear to be the most tantalizing, but objective criteria should form the realist metric on which to measure all business decisions. The incremental and marginal changes in trade with Cuba are just that—incremental and marginal.


The findings of the Community Advisory Committee (CAC) were reviewed by the Mt. Lebanon School Board last night, with a number of community members weighing in alongside the project architect, who gave a detailed presentation addressing the CAC's main recommendations. Most citizens agreed that the project should stay on track and that the redesign envisioned by the CAC was not only outside the charge given to the committee by the board but was also undesirable for a number of reasons, chief among them keeping Building C, an issue which the board had already voted down after lengthy deliberation.
The board ultimately voted 8-1 in favor of approving the architect's Design Development (DD) plans and gave them the authorization to proceed with construction drawings. The lone vote against was cast by board member James Fraasch. Over the course of the next many weeks, the board has requested that the architects review a number of issues, as well as some suggested by the CAC. They include: placement of the loading dock; reworking of Horsman Drive; tennis court options; LEED Silver certification; congestion/pinch points in the commons area; and a more welcoming entrance on Cochran Road.
Still to come are the scheduling of an Act 34 hearing for approval of the plan and the finalization of drawings. I encourage everyone to either attend our school board meetings or watch them on TV. The continued engagement of our citizens is what will help get this project to the finish line, an outcome that serves the entire community.
Kudos to the school board for moving the design plans forward! This professional-volunteer review marks a pivotal step forward in the process. Residents can sleep at night in the knowledge that no detail has gone unexamined regarding our new high school; the new/remodeled facility is well on its way to providing a green, LEED-certified space for 21st century learning. Keep up the good work everyone!
I wish I could be as enthusiastic about the $115-million renovation plan as its supporters on Real Lebo, but I must consider the full body of available evidence, and that evidence argues strongly that this plan will end up denying our students more education than it will provide. In short, this plan represents a net educational harm to our community.
To see why, you have only to ask, What meaningful, measurable educational value will this $115-million investment provide? I've pored over the research, and it refutes the notion that pumping money into school buildings buys better student outcomes. (There is a wealth of research on this subject: tens of studies and at least two meta-studies, the most recent from the U.S. Government Accountability Office, which identified 24 credible research efforts, examined them, and concluded that "none proved a causal relationship between school facilities and student outcomes." ) To be blunt: There is little evidence of a cause-and-effect relationship between better school facilities and better student outcomes.
In other words, when you put your money into school buildings, you are not buying educational value. (Disagree? Please offer evidence to refute my claim.) But you can put your money into other things, things that do buy educational value, lots of meaningful, measurable educational value.
So, we have a choice: Do we buy more-expensive buildings, the extra expense providing little educational value? Or, do we buy less-expensive buildings, the cost savings being available to invest in things that provide great educational value? The first approach is what our $115-million plan represents, and it denies our community the educational benefits of the second approach.
And that's the problem. By overspending on facilities, we are forced to underspend on other, more-effective educational options. We lower the standard of education we could be offering to future students.
I know many people in our community want a better high school, and they want it now, and that's not unreasonable. But education is important. Sacrificing education for things like buildings does a real harm to our students and to our community. Yes, we need a better high school, but there are ways of getting one that don't require us to sacrifice so much educational potential.
 "None [of the 24 studies the GAO identified and examined] proved a causal relationship between school facilities and student outcomes." U.S. Government Accountability Office. 2009. Report GAO-10-32: School Facilities: Physical Conditions in School Districts Receiving Impact Aid for Students Residing on Indian Lands.
Tom, how many kids do you have over at the high school? middle school? elementaries? I ask because I wonder if you are really REALLY okay with having your kids in a high school with a full-on leaking roof, puddles labeled "asbestos" in the weight room, duct-taped windows, a gazillion doors screaming "security risk!" and exit corridors so wonky that a disabled person would be hard put to make it out of the building in a fire. Not only is that not what I want for MY kid, I don't want it for YOUR kids or any other kids in Mt. Lebanon. So yeah, I think the building does have something to do with the overall educational experience, a topic we've batted about extensively at blog Lebo and don't really need to do anew here.
Tomorrow is a new day and a new year and I am looking forward, moving on. I love my community and want nothing but the best for it and welcome the engagement of community members at this blog and elsewhere. But let's call it a day on this one and agree to disagree.
I'm sure there's no surprise here, but I'm with Elaine on this one...furthermore, I refuse to jump onto this spinning wheel once again - it has been hashed and rehashed too many times already. I stand firm in my opinion that a renovated high school is a HUGE asset to this community - and that means everyone, not just parents. It is certainly NOT good news that Mt. Lebanon didn't even make it onto the new US News and World Report "best schools" list for this year. Can you say declining property values? Don't you think potential home-buyers look at these stats? I know they do.
Your comments to Tom's post don't address the issue he raised. Sure a new school would be nice,and sure the current buildings need improvement, but $115 million dollars worth?
What's important is how well kids will be educated, not how beautiful the new building will be.
I do think potential home buyers "look at the stats". And the stats won't be improved by a new set of buildings.
Money is not endless. Spending $115 million on buildings has got to mean other things get short shrift. Or do you think that great teachers will work for less because our high school is palatial?
Do the Real Lebo folks know something that the rest of us don't? Have the final design drawings, cost estimates and payment plans been hand delivered to the Real Lebo headquarters such that the rest of us not worry about how we're going to pull this off? Are you here to assure us that the tax bill associated with this project - when combined with the Municipality's obvious need for more tax revenues - won't make Mt. Lebanon unaffordable? How will my property value be impacted when I can't sell me $250,000 house because of an $18,000 tax bill?
I was under the impression that you started this Blog to examine the issues from all sides - not just one.
If Real Lebo wants to stick its collectively head in the sand and ignore the fact that with respect to the high school project we have more doubters/objectors in this community than we do supporters, I may re-visit your site for book and movie reviews and perhaps the occassional restaurant recommendation, but not much else.
I think I speak for Kristen when I say that neither one of us wants a high school that's a Taj Mahal, and never has. The current design of the H.S. renovation was based on years of input from stakeholders including school administration, teachers and the community at large across many, many meetings -- of which we had no part! It's also plain to see (for anyone who attends school board meetings) that every time someone asks for extra lanes for the swimming pool, perfectly-sited tennis courts or a RIFLE RANGE (yes, a rifle range at a high school), they seem to get it.
I would like to see Mt. Lebanon have a high school building that is safe for its students and focuses on academics, and is well-suited to learning styles in the 21st century. If we can get that for five or ten (do I hear twenty?) million less than what we've budgeted for, I'm all for it. Why wouldn't I be? I pay taxes here, too. But if we don't keep moving this project forward, it will only get more expensive over time. Further, we accomplish very little by covering ground that has already been covered ad nauseum.
Thanks for your comments Frank and Dave. I suspect that neither of you were at the last school board meeting or you would know that I was the one who stated to the board that the high school does NOT need to be Lincoln Center (and I am a professional musician!), Heinz Field or Pens Arena. These are all venues that the CAC (COMMUNITY Advisory Committee)recommended we try to emulate in the new high school. Absolutely not necessary in my mind. As Elaine mentioned, we pay taxes too. I would love for the price tag for the high school renovation to be less. I personally don't give a hoot about a 6-lane pool, 8-lane pool, or even a pool at all. A rifle range seems like a joke to me, as does a football field that looks like Heinz Field....and tennis courts that could host the US Open - not of interest to me either. However, it has become very clear to me that many in this town put sports at the top of the list. I am not one of those people. However, I do recognize and even respect the fact that many, many sports people in the community have come forward and demanded that the board listen and include all of the sports "bells and whistles" in the new design. It has also become very clear to me that this is why the price tag is so high. I don't necessarily agree with it, but it is what it is. THe community has spoken. Clearly much of the expense for the new school comes from all of the abovementioned "bells and whistles". Months ago I even pointed out to the school board that "we are not building a YMCA...we are building a high school." At the last board meeting I also stated (and this is a quote) "The priorities for our school should not be how pretty it looks... The priorities should be the facilities, and most importantly, how effectively it serves its students." So this is something that I actually think we agree about Frank. Your comment about "how beautiful the school looks" leads me to believe that you misunderstood my intentions. For the record, I want a renovation that will address the needs of the students in the best possible setting for 21st Century learning. I also strongly feel that Lebo kids deserve to be in a school that is safe. I am also 100% in support of a LEED certified school. This is the 21st Century after all. Frank and Dave, do you attend school board meetings? If so, I'll see you there!
As a member of the DeJong Educational Specifications Committee that became morphed into the Design Advisory Team, AND as a parent of high school children, AND as a veteran parent of the poorly-managed and poorly-planned elementary renovations, Elaine's December 31 post mentioning "puddles labeled 'asbestos' in the weight room" serves as a reminder of how the District so often gives short shrift to asbestos-in-schools issues. Could you post a photo of these puddles? Both Kristen and Elaine imply in their January 2 posts that they believe that the high school is not currently "safe" for its students. Could RealLebo.Com post information backing up that claim (other than the asbestos already mentioned)? Thanks!
Pam, Kristen and I don't consider the building safe for many of the reasons in our previous posts: are there too many entrance/exit points to guarantee safety? will a leak from the roof in center court create a puddle of water that someone slips on and breaks their neck? and what of the teacher who spoke at a school board meeting a number of months back who was concerned about the high incidence of breast cancer among teachers and staff? Kristen and I aren't the alarmist type but we've heard way more concerning stuff than we'd like coming out of the high school. A renovation that addresses these issues is, in our opinion, long overdue.
Kristen and I aren't experts, simply concerned moms/citizens. Isn't a better source of information the district or have you lost confidence in that body? How about Elaine Cappucci or Dan Remely, the school board members running point on this project? Surely they have better information than Kristen or me.
Lastly, if the "asbestos" pic was a prank, it was in very poor taste.
Thanks for your post Pam. The asbestos "puddle" is one that I personally spoke to our previous superintendent about. The more stories I heard from kids and parents about the high school, the more concerned I became. THe asbestos labeled pipe in the weight room that was leaking was just one. Our previous superintendent also confirmed with me that the layers and layers of peeling paint in the older parts of the school do, in fact, contain lead. These pics can be seen on the slideshow on the district site as well. Granted, high school kids know better than to eat the peeling paint, but the dust gets into the air and into lungs. I also spoke with the Allegheny health dept and the Lebo Fire Dept about the safety codes at the school. As I have posted in the past, and mentioned in several school board meetings, the various buildings in that school are currently being held only to the safety codes that existed WHEN THEY WERE BUILT. Unless a major renovation is occuring, a school is not required to update older portions of builidings to current code. This concerns me - especially since parts of the school were built in the 20's!! The fact that there are not sprinkler systems throughout the school is another example of safety. But Elaine is right, the district should be answering your question.
with respect to how asbestos was handled.
Kristen is right, "the district should be answering your question." But just last month the President of the high school PTSA told the board her emails are unanswered. That is a problem; the board is behind closed doors making decisions and not answering questions. Check the Policy on Executive Committee meetings and you will find Facilities is not a permitted discussion item for executive session but the board violates its own rules anyway.
Just picked up Right-To-Know-requested photocopy from District offices of the new "revised" hazardous materials assessment study mentioned at the December 14 school board meeting where "it's looking like 18-20% less" than the original assessment. Also picked up copy of the original assessment. (On January 2, I posted here "It seems like we might be heading for a repeat practice of ignorantly underestimating the extent of hazardous materials so as to get lower bids, and then 'finding' stuff that was 'not anticipated' along the way.) Well how about 'ignoring' stuff like lead paint that's obviously there?
Shockingly (but not surprisingly given what occurred during the elementary renovations with respect to lead paint, silica dusts, etc.) the only hazardous material being considered is asbestos. No kidding.
Yep, Kristen and I agree that there are issues here -- we're going round and round. More fodder for school board meetings. Let's take the conversation there.
Pam, I'm glad you are staying on top of this. We all need to. Safety is of vital importance. I have been beyond concerned about the current safety of the school for a while now. I've spoken with the Lebo Fire Dept, Allegheny Health Dept, and our former superintendent about the issues. Lead paint is certainly an issue as well as the asbestos - if you look at the slide show on the district website you will a see stairwell with huge chunks of peeling paint which has been confirmed to be lead paint by Dr. Allison. I am hopeful that all parties involved will take these issues seriously and that the inspections will smoke out any problems that need addressing that none of us are aware of. But I do believe that diligence is a must on our part, and transparency on the part of the board and the builders.
Your comments on asbestos and lead paint are certainly important, but it's hard to believe that these problems can't be fixed for a great deal less than $113.5 million!
Or are we being asked to support the crushing tax burden of this figure just to please the "sports people"?
Please see Mr. Kubit's recent FAQ where he addresses the issue of the cost of necessary repairs vs. cost of a more comprehensive renovation. And if you know any "sports people," please ask them your question! Kristen and I aren't the sports people.
They CAN certainly be addressed for a great deal less than $113.5 million, fkelly! Kristen, I don't think lead paid is on their radar, given that the only hazardous material in their original and revised hazardous materials assessments is asbestos! The recommended method for dealing with asbestos in a school is to manage it in place unless it is going to be disturbed.

To help realise these growth aspirations 71 percent of businesses are seeking new funding over the next 12 months. More than £1.1 million, on average, to finance key areas of investment including technology (37%), staff retention (30%) and marketing (27%).
However, boardrooms across the country understand that financial backers become increasingly cautious during uncertain times. Over half (53%) of businesses already had to wait at least a month for a funding decision in 2018, while 31 percent waited three months or more. In an environment where the inability to forecast is among the top Brexit challenges (27%), slow funding could cause irreparable damage to businesses.
John Onslow, CEO of Independent Growth Finance, comments, "British SMEs are the lifeblood of this country. It is encouraging to hear how many are forecasting meaningful growth in 2019. Such a large number of businesses seeking more than £1.1 million in funding shows that businesses want to seize control of their financial futures. Yet our findings suggest many struggle to find quick and flexible funding.


I've been thinking about disposable life and the meaning that might have in societies today. And I decided that the kind of disposable life that most concerns me is the kind that we either resolutely don't see, ignore, or neglect. Or the kind that we do see but can't seem to deal with.

I would definitely recommend the reading to friends and to anyone! Kate has an amazing gift. It is a great way to get connected to your true self, to find relief and gain perspective. It's like a big hug from the inside out!" -Kerri G.
"In 2001, I had an emotional breakdown and was experiencing difficulties functioning in my personal and professional life, so I sought the assistance of two "mainstream" therapists. While these therapists had excellent intentions, they failed to help me resolve my problems. The traditional talk therapy methods they employed did not address the energetic roots of my emotional issues. As such, I began to search for alternatives to mainstream therapy.
"Kate is absolutely outstanding in her work, and it is worthwhile to work hard to metabolize the very high volume of material that she is sharing. She is intense, and I like to record our sessions to get the full benefit, as it is more than I can absorb at one time. She was able to point out more options for the future that flowed from the current situation, and strategies to get there. She also provided some tactical advice that I did not even identify that I needed, and the issue she foresaw did come up!
I came in without clear expectations, but left blown away by the scope and depth of Kate's work. She dealt not only with old emotions stored in my body, but with family members' issues. The information was exceedingly relevant to my family and the healing work impacted on my next encounter with my family. Kate energetically told my abusive narcissistic brother to leave me alone and he did!!
Intuitive Healings are only available now at Kate's yearly live Greece Retreats.

This spring, the musical cast put on the show "Big Fish" which is based on the novel by Daniel Wallace, and the Colombia Motion Picture. The movie was adapted to musical form by John August, and the songs were written by Andrew Lippa. On November 19th, auditions were held for the cast of "Big Fish" by the producer, Rachel Janzi.
"When you go into the audition, you have to fill out an audition sheet and list your theater experience, voice skills, and which role you're specifically auditioning for, and prepare a sixteen measure theater piece." says Liz Fulcher, who played the part of the witch in the musical. "Within the week, we all found out our roles, and not long after, the scripts were distributed so that we could run over lines and get the plot of the play."
With auditions out of the way, the first read through occurred the week before break, and official rehearsals started the day students came back from winter break. The cast started out by learning the music and songs first and practicing with Holly Swartzendruber in the choir room. After everyone had learned the music, they started blocking out the scenes with intros and outros.
After about two months of rehearsal, the show was ready for the public. For the choreographer of the whole show, Liz Fulcher said that her favorite part was the last two weeks, when all the lines, dances, and music were fully ready, and the members of the show get to rehearse in costumes with full lights and accompaniment. At this point the fine tuning is all that is left, and it starts feeling like a show.
The rehearsals were long and difficult but in the end, it was all worth it. "For the cast as a whole, we were challenged a lot by the intros and cut offs for the music. The music was so unique that the intros were complicated and hard to follow. Often times we had to start singing on a silent beat, and we were often scared that we were going to come in at the wrong time." However it can be collectively agreed that the best part for the cast occurred toward the end of the show, when the audience was visible engaged and emotional and could connect to the show via their own experiences. The show was able to tell a story and even help some get closure in their own lives. "I loved that I was able to tell a story that people really enjoyed and related to."
As the majority of the shows completely sold out, it was clear that the audience took great delight in all the effort the cast gave to put on such an enjoyable show. "Overall the whole cast really had a great attitude and were very eager to learn. It was obvious that we all had one goal: to put on a great show" Liz Fulcher concluded.

TORONTO, Ont. May 18, 2016/ Troy Media/ – The defunct game show that asked Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? may have predicted this problem.
Reports out of teachers colleges suggest that the fifth grade teacher is struggling with the mathematics curriculum – just as their students are.
Many new Canadian elementary school teachers lack basic math skills involving multiplication, division and fractions. As a result, universities are now demanding math proficiency courses as part of their faculty of education curriculum.
Is it any wonder that right across Canada math scores among elementary school children continue to drop?
Years ago, much of what we learned about mathematics in elementary school was by rote. We memorized the multiplication table. Previous generations of students knew what BEDMAS (an acronym to help remember an order of operations in algebra basics) meant, and various other algorithms and formulas were committed to memory.
Yet some educators felt that learning math through memorization was not dynamic enough; it was too mundane for students. Remember how boring it was to work on a long division problem? Well, long division is not part of today's curriculum.
To make math more interesting, the new curriculum relies on students "discovering" the subject. Children no longer learn that 2 multiplied by 2 equals 4. With discovery math, students are now expected to know why the answer is 4, and to explain it in writing.
Discovery math usually begins with a word or picture problem. Even if a child gets the answer wrong but can somewhat explain the process, they'll earn partial marks. These partial marks allow students who have not learned the skill to pass the subject and to move on to the next level.
Yet by passing students who haven't learned the fundamentals of math, discovery math ultimately sends numerically illiterate students on to high school, and beyond.
The problem is that if discovery math is put into practice, especially at a young age when children haven't reached the developmental stage of abstract thinking, we eventually see greater instances of high school graduates who struggle with basic numeracy, such as the cashier who can't make proper change.
In Quebec, educators resisted such experimental theory and continue to teach key principles in elementary school by rote. Today, Quebec students are bucking the trend in the rest of Canada. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development's Programme for International Student Assessment gave Quebec's school system A+ and A grades on student math skills. Quebec is the only province to achieve such standards.
In response to worrisome trends, some provinces in Western Canada are beginning to reintroduce the multiplication tables into the elementary school curriculum so students won't be so dependent on calculators for basic transactions.
In Ontario, the government has announced $60 million more in funding towards additional math training for elementary school teachers.
While teachers who are weak at math are part of the problem, the biggest test may be not challenging the precepts of discovery math.
Children who get As in school usually succeed regardless. But today's educators are doing a real disservice to students who generally earn Bs, Cs and Ds under the new discovery math system.
At one time, a student who did not do well on a test was told to study harder in order to succeed the next time. Today, struggling students receive partial marks, dangerously deceiving children into believing that they are competent enough to move on to the next academic level. It isn't until years later – when we realize those students don't know enough math to get by – that we see the magnitude of the problem.
Colleges, universities and employers are struggling to deal with a disturbing lack of skills among recent high school graduates.
We owe it to the next generation to learn from the outcomes of discovery math, and return to teaching methods that work.
One Response to "Exposing the flaws in discovery math"
Cognitive Science has determined that understanding and knowledge cannot occur without mastery of math facts, and those facts are best learned through straightforward methods and direct instruction. These are the same methods utilized in tutoring centres across the country, of which up to 50 per cent (in some communities) of our kids are now enrolled. To repeat, learning centres rely on the same successful methods that our provincial system chooses to ignore.
It's monstrous, and devastating to those families, and to our frontline teachers, to perpetually sell them damaging, unproven strategies that are little more than opinion and experiments on our children. Math performance in Canada is failing (with one exception, Quebec), yet educationists prefer to spend time fiddling while Rome burns.
We know what works, and so do the professional mathematicians, knowledgeable teachers, and concerned parents. So in a time where every penny of education funding is necessary, why are we wasting precious energy and money on strategies that continue to fail our children?

A concerted attempt is being made by the Welsh Government to revitalize the Welsh language in Wales through language legislation and policy initiatives. This paper explores the political rhetoric and practical reality of these recent legislative developments, as they pertain to the health care sector. It offers a qualitative analysis of written evidence provided by key stakeholders during the consultation process on the new legally-binding requirements of Welsh Language Standards for health care providers in Wales. We argue that these meso-level service providers are critical linchpins within the health care system and that it is at the meso level that full tensions between the macro rhetoric and micro reality occur. This contribution highlights shortcomings and barriers to Welsh language service provision in health care in Wales and recommends the adoption of wide-ranging, holistic approaches to language planning that meet the language needs of patients outlined by the Welsh Government.

Hi, I am an archaeologist investigating some ancient terracottas and I have a chemistry question regarding the stability of CaCO3 at high temperatures.
Here's the story: I am looking at materials that have been white washed in preparation for the application of pigments. X-ray fluorescence spectrometry picked up high Ca peaks, so calcium carbonate was suggested as the source of the white wash. Limestone and travertine are common in the area, so perhaps it's in the calcite form? I am trying to figure out if the terracottas were white washed before or after going into the kiln. The kiln would have burned at 750-950 degrees C (and at atmospheric pressure and composition), and the pieces would have been fired for many hours.
Would a calcareous white wash survive the firing process? Or would it have necessarily been applied after baking?

Strong performance in Microsoft's business and server and tools divisions has helped offset declines in Windows and PC revenues in the company's second fiscal quarter of 2012.
The company's revenue for the period — 31 September to 31 December 2011 — was $20.9bn (£13.5bn), up from $19.9bn during the same period in 2010, five percent up. However, its traditionally strong PC and Windows revenues took a knock due to a combination of factors.
"In the PC market, it appears that the impact of the hard-drive supply chain constraints were not limited to a specific region or OEM type," Bill Koefoed, general manager of investor relations at Microsoft, said in an investor conference call. "The decline of netbooks negatively impacted consumer PCs which were down six percent. Netbooks, which a year ago represented about eight percent of the PC market, now represents only two percent."
However, excluding the declining netbook market, consumer PCs grew two percent, Koefoed said. Microsoft estimated that the total decline of the PC market was between two and four percent.
The company also reported a six-percent decline in revenue from Windows and Windows Live. It said this was because of the 'softness' of the consumer PC market and the growth in emerging markets.
Peter Klein, chief financial officer at Microsoft, said the difficulties in the PC and Windows market will not clear overnight, continuing at least into the next quarter.
PC growth in emerging markets will outpace developed markets, and business PC growth will outpace consumer PC growth.
"We expect revenue to continue to be impacted by market dynamics similar to the past several quarters. PC growth in emerging markets will outpace developed markets, and business PC growth will outpace consumer PC growth," he said. "We also expect the hard-disk drive shortage to continue to challenge the PC market to at least the next quarter."
"Microsoft's financial results certainly highlight the one area of significant exposure Microsoft faces: the Client and Windows Live business," Al Gillen, systems software analyst at IDC, told ZDNet UK. "Of course, that business is highly dependent upon PC sales, which are under considerable competitive pressure from mobile devices. We are seeing the dilution effect from alternative devices forcing an extension of the PC lifecycle, which of course comes back to affect Microsoft's ability to sell new OS licences."
The strongest area of Microsoft's performance came in its server and tools unit, with an 11-percent increase in revenue over 2010, taking it to $4.8bn for the quarter, largely due to strong sales of premium Windows server and SQL server. There was also a 20-percent increase in Service Center revenue.
"We saw broad-based strength across our products. In our data platform business, SQL Server grew low double-digits, outpacing industry growth due to the strength of our premium edition," Koefoed said. "We also saw strong market anticipation for SQL Server 2012 with over 100,000 downloads in the two months since the release candidate was made available."
The company's business division — responsible for products such as Office, SharePoint, Exchange, Lync and Dynamics CRM — grew revenue three percent to $6.28bn. Little was said about the performance of cloud or other online services, with a 10-percent growth in its online services division contributed to in part by an increase in online advertising revenue driven by Bing Search.
