Glacial Drumlin State Trail
The New Berlin Recreation Trail
The Fox River Trail in Waukesha trail head is at the E.B. Shurts Environmental Education Center at 810 W. College Ave. Waukesha, WI 53186 The trail is about 5.5 miles long and features a 2200 ft boardwalk thru a cat tail marsh along the Fox River. The trail ends with a loop in the Fox River Park at the south end of the trail.
The trail largely follows the Fox River from just south of down town to the Fox River Park. Parking is free at the E. B. Shurts Center, but it does cost to park at Fox River Park. Walking and biking are free.
Note that the parking lot at the E. B. Shurts Center is also the eastern trail head of the Glacial Drumlin Trail, which starts about 1/3 mile west of the center.

Grouping everyone into a single attitude just isn't going to work. Instead organisations must use data analytics to help segment their workforce and then look at how to join up the data along the employee care pathway.


You probably don't give this much thought, but you use several different systems to keep you alive and healthy. One of these is your circulatory system, which is responsible for circulating blood throughout your entire body. This happens automatically, which is why you aren't thinking about it too often. In fact, unless you are taking your pulse while exercising, the only time it comes up is when something is wrong.
A healthy circulation delivers essential nutrients and oxygen to the tissues in your body, and then ensures deoxygenated blood is returned to the heart so the entire process can repeat. When poor circulation is in the picture, it can lead to an array of medical issues.
Recognizing problems in your circulatory system is important for helping you to reduce the likelihood of emergency situations. If you know what to look for, keeping an eye on warning signs that develop in your lower limbs can potentially save your life. These signs can include unexplainable aches in your leg muscles, sores that take longer than normal to heal, and legs that are much colder than your arms. These are all potential indicators of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) – a major source of circulation problems.
One symptom that may be present is muscle pain, which happens when the long arteries in the legs are narrowed by atherosclerosis. Another is pain that develops during exercise and goes away when activity levels decrease. Affected muscle groups include the calves, hip, thighs, and feet. Numbness or burning pain are also sometimes experienced with PAD. It is entirely possible to have a severe blockage, but no pain. In this situation, the body has grown blood vessels that circumvent the blockage altogether.
There are other signs of peripheral arterial disease, and examples of these are wounds that will not heal as they should, shiny skin on the legs, and loss of leg hair. If your legs are colder than your arms are, or if you can feel a fainter pulse in your feet than in your hands, it is entirely possible you have this condition.
There are a variety of causes of PAD, but the main problem is atherosclerosis – a narrowing and hardening of the arteries. This condition is often caused by smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and physical inactivity. These root causes are predominately lifestyle-based, which provides encouragement for those who wish to be proactive in avoiding peripheral arterial disease.
Another major cause of this ailment is diabetes. People with diabetes are more likely to develop a worse case of PAD than non-diabetic individuals and treatment tends to be less effective, but progress is possible in these instances.
Tests for PAD are generally painless and not particularly complicated. One way of determining whether a patient has peripheral arterial disease or not is to compare blood pressure at both the ankle and the upper arm. In a healthy individual, these measurements should be the same. If the blood pressure at the ankle is found to be lower, then a patient might be at risk. In severe cases, we might recommend that an x-ray (specifically, an angiogram) be used for diagnosis. An angiogram uses an injection of dye into a blood vessel in order to get a better look at what is actually happening inside the patient.
As if you need another reason to quit smoking or using tobacco, doing so will help you get over this particular ailment. Eating well and exercising are other healthy choices that we recommend anyhow, but can help you prevent and even treat peripheral arterial disease. Watching your cholesterol and blood pressure will go a long way toward keeping PAD at bay.
In instances where healthier living choices are not having enough impact on the condition, you may need to be prescribed medication to help deal with it. Certain prescriptions are proven to help improve blood flow and this could be an answer to peripheral arterial disease. In rare cases that are severe in nature, surgery may be required, but typically the other treatments are effective and an operation is not needed.

Paolo Schianchi ist als Dozent am Polytechnikum Mailand tätig und gehört zu den Vertretern und Theoretikern des Visual Marketing, ein Fachgebiet, das die Beziehung zwischen Bild und Produkt, bzw. zwischen dem Objekt und dessen Darstellung untersucht.

Biografie

Nach seinem Hochschulabschluss in Architektur und dem Studium der Ästhetik begann er Ende der neunziger Jahre mit der Forschung über das Visual Marketing, die im Jahrzehnt darauf vertieft und ausgeweitet wurde: Brennpunkt seines Gedankens ist dabei die theoretische Behandlung der Untrennbarkeit zwischen dem Objekt und dem Bild, welches das Objekt darstellt.
Bei den zahlreichen und kontinuierlichen Ausstellungserfahrungen (beispielsweise mit der Messe in Padua PadovaFiere) zeigte er, wie das Objekt die Identität der Umgebung annehmen kann, in der es eingefügt wird und er hat dabei gleichzeitig die Untrennbarkeit zwischen diesen beiden Faktoren bewiesen.

Er gibt die jährlichen Veröffentlichungen für die Verlagsgruppe Gruppo 24 ORE – Gruppo 24 Ore Business Media, heraus, die der Untersuchung der neuen Entwicklungen des Objekts bezogen auf dessen Bild gewidmet sind.
Als Planer und Artdirector arbeitet er mit italienischen und internationalen Firmen (Runtal Zehnder, Magma, Disegno Ceramica, Il Marmo) zusammen. Eines seiner Objekte befindet sich in der Liste des renommierten Design-Preises Compasso d'Oro 2011. Darüber hinaus organisiert er Ausstellungen über Design mit einem besonderen Augenmerk auf die neuen japanischen Kulturbewegungen (z. B. Kawaii). Anlässlich der Mailänder Möbelmesse 2011 (Salone del Mobile) hat er in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Japanischen Konsulat in Mailand, dem Italienischen Konsulat in Osaka, dem Zentrum für Japanische Kultur in Mailand und der Handelskammer von Kyōto die Ausstellung "La filosofia dell'acqua. Il design italiano incontra l'artigiano giapponese" (Die Philosophie des Wassers. Italienisches Design trifft das japanische Handwerk) organisiert, die im Oktober 2011 auch in Padua zu sehen war. Er war Direktor von verschiedenen Zeitschriften (Archaedilia von Faenza Editrice, Ce International Superfici In&Out für Il Sole 24 Ore Business Media) und ist seit 2010 Direktor des internationalen Portals Floornature
Außer seiner Dozentenstelle am Polytechnikum Mailand ist er Professor im Studiengang Integrierte Kommunikation und Design am IUSVE (Institut der Päpstlichen Universität der Salesianer von Venedig) in Mestre und hält regelmäßig Seminare an anderen Universitäten und privaten Einrichtungen in Italien und im Ausland.

QCC's Children's School Blog - Speech Delay?
I have a 2.9 year old daughter who doesn't have a lot of language. She says about 50 words, I think she has a speech delay. What should I do?
The first thing we want to say is we are not speech pathologists and that you should talk to your child's pediatrician. They will most likely recommend for you to have your daughter's hearing checked first. The second step may be to have her evaluated by a licensed speech pathologists. Thank you for reaching out to us; it is important to catch delays early.
Slow down; when you talk with your child try to slow down and have your child watch you speak.
Talk more: talk to your child throughout the day, point out things at home the grocery store, on a walk. Keep your sentences short and sweet.
Get Down at His/Her Level and Make Eye Contact; showing your child that you want to hear what they have to say.
Read more books; pick out books that will engage your child. Point out things on the pages naming them and talking about them. Stay on the page until your child is ready to move on.
Engage in two way commination; talk to them about what is happening and wait for them to respond back.
Encourage communication. Once your child is old enough to communicate using sign language or words encourage communication. Wait for your child to ask, gesture, or sign for a toy, drink or food, instead of automatically getting it for them. Do not anticipate your child's need or desires before they have a chance to make them known to you. If your child gets what they want without communicating for it, they won't bother to point, gesture or ask.
Wait, wait, wait! Delay your responses to your child's pointing, gestures or babbling when he wants things. Pretend you don't understand what he wants to see if your child will try to verbally communicate. Pausing allows your child another chance to verbally express himself.
Sing songs; Song promotes vocal play, attention, listening, and speech. Sing simple songs your child can sing with you. (Ex. The Itsy Bitsy Spider; Twinkle, Twinkle, Wheels on the Bus and Row, Row Your Boat).
We want you to remember to be patient when working with your child on language development. Shower your child with praise and love for a little or a lot of language. And remember to have fun and enjoy your child's milestones in all areas of development.


To all North American SW DX contest survey respondents and other interested North American SW DXers. The proposed SW DX Contest is a go, and will be conducted in early January 2017.
I am in the process of drafting the contest rules/ guidelines/prizes together so I can get final approval, and send the information out to you. I will be the primary point of contact for the contest. As it stands right now the NASWA will be a sponsor for the contest according to Richard D'Angelo.
Thanks to everyone who completed surveys and gave me some great ideas. More information will be forthcoming in November. I will get the Contest info posted online at several websites, and by mail to those who sent letters to me.
At any rate; mark your calendars now for a proposed start date of 7 January, 2017. Those of you who might be interested but did not submit a survey are invited to participate fully.
You can contact me at broadwing56@msn.com or John Cooper, 734 Sally Ann drive, Lebanon, PA 17046.
Many thanks, John, for making this contest a reality! We look forward to posting your updates.

In acoustical damping properties we can separate two the most important things which have the most influence. The first is spectral homogeneity which can be achieved using special materials which have high density. Second is a resonance suppression, it is very important because the greater the degree of resonance damping, then the lower is the ability to transfer associated vibrations. When we have a sound system, eg. a turntable with very low damping, can be excited vibration with a frequency close to its resonant frequency (eg. fragment of a music), the system periodically collects and releases energy by changing the amplitude of the cycle which is referred to as a rumbling, which negatively affects the purity of the music.
PanzerWood has been developed bearing in mind these two important properties because from the first strike of any acoustic wave, its immediate dispersal of energy into an amorphous dissipation of acoustic energy, without displaying a definite sonic signature, puts PanzerWood miles ahead of aluminum regarding neutral vibration-absorption performance. Aluminum has been shown to portray characteristic "tones" which ring like a bell at certain pronounced frequencies, and does not dissipate acoustic energy in a homogenous manner. We should be careful, therefore, in how aluminum is used in high performance audio products. In terms of intrinsic acoustical performance, PanzerWood is certainly the better choice. The chart below show indisputable evidence that our reinforced material behaves way better than any aluminium.
The test blocks of Aluminum and PanzerWood in direct calibrated comparison, stuck once each, with acoustical energy decaying over time. In both cases, the image scaling settings of time and level are identical. The strikes occur after 35 milliseconds of silence. PanzerWood is silent again after 120 ms, whereas the Aluminum continues to ring after a half of a second.
The PanzerWood is a project created by enthusiasts and at the same time people who are 35 years engaged in music and sound.
Over ten years ago while we were building the first turntable we start deepen the vibro-acoustics. To this day constantly we deepen our knowledge in this field. This knowledge, together with modern technology helps us to create products with highest anti-vibration / insulation parameters.

Want to be a part of RPG research?

The RPG Research Project consists of a series of multi-stage, multi-variable, multiblind, controlled studies following scientific principles. Its mission: to clearly establish through rigorous scientific testing the causal therapeutic and educational impact of role playing gaming on participants. It is hoped through the efforts of RPG Research that it will be possible to clearly define the specific causal therapeutic and educational aspects of participation in role playing gaming with the eventual possibility of developing effective educational and therapeutic modalities using role playing games.
The overall project is dedicated to ascertaining by means of the use of various scientific methods the therapeutic and educational aspects of role playing gaming. Approaches include cognitive, behavioral, biological, neurological, humanistic, sociological, and other relevant perspectives. Based on the analysis of the data gathered, potential therapeutic and educational modalities may become apparent. Therapeutic recreation techniques in conjunction with role playing gaming activities may be applicable in meeting client needs either as a standalone tool or to work in conjunction with other treatment modalities for various population groups.
The first stages of this project began in 1985, with an active revival in 2004 through interaction with various universities and organizations. The project has been advancing each year since. The project project founder, Hawke Robinson, first began formally researching the educational and social impacts of role playing games in 1985 in response to the barrage of negative press and public misinformation about role playing games popular in the 1980's, especially Dungeons & Dragons. Further development in consideration of broader psychosocial impacts from role playing games resumed with a series of essays written for the Therapeutic Recreation and other departments at Eastern Washington University beginning in 2004, followed by a number of successive documents and publications continuing to develop more detailed hypotheses, theses and series of research projects.
You can help! This project involves participation from individuals and organizations from around the world. The RPG Research website is intended to be a central repository where scientists, therapists, researchers and other professionals as well as media and laymen will be able to find all the information they need on this expansive topic.

Wish the guy luck, but he's not going to get a wider, scientific hearing - as he's an undergraduate in the wrong discipline for his topic :(
Arpeegee Reesearch · Project Founder at RPG Research Project
What discipline would be more appropriate to studying the therapeutic aspects of role playing games than Therapeutic Recreation with a research psychology emphasis? Undergraduate now, but of course assuming all goes according to the current plan arranged with the university, will have the other degrees over time. This project is planned to collect data over many years. Plus there are now a couple of professors joining the project, though they are in other disciplines, to help with resources. Your thoughts?

Observing the histological changes of the internal organs of the mice, having daily oral administrations of arsenious acid and simultaneous oral infection of Ectromelia virus and of the mice infected Ectromelia virus 4 days after the beginning of the arsenious acid administration, in compared with those that had daily arsenious acid without the infection, and the following results were obtained. 1. In the cases had the continuous administration of arsenious acid administration, in compared with those that had daily arsenious acid without the infection, and the following results were obtained. In the liver of the same cases, degeneration and necrosis of the liver cells and nuclei were marked, on the other hand, regenerations of the liver cells in association with round cell infiltrations were noted. There were extensive parenchimal impairments in the kideny and heart as well. 2. In the cases with Ectromelia virus infection on the 4 th day after the beginning of the arsenious acid administration, much severe vascular damages, and degenerations and necrosis of the liver parenchyma especially marked in the peripheral areas of the lobules were observed There were more extensive parenchymal imparments in the kidney and heart. 3. The cases with both Ectromelia virus infection and the administration of the arsenic acid presented the pathological findings summed up both of damages but especially marked in the vascular regions. In the cases with viral infection following the arsenious acid intoxication, the vascular damages due to the intoxication gave some influences upon the further pathological changes. 4. The vascular damages caused by the arsenious acid intoxication appeared to be essentially similar to those of Ectromelia virus infections.

Walton County administrator forced to resign. Why will he get $150k salary through 2022?
Northwest Florida Daily News
DeFUNIAK SPRINGS — High-ranking Walton County employee Stan Sunday tendered his resignation Monday, and a Tallahassee-based law firm has claimed "violations of law, gross mismanagement and malfeasance" on the part of two county commissioners who helped push him out the door.
The same legal team helped Sunday negotiate a severance package that will allow him to continue to collect his approximately $150,000 annual salary through Sept. 23, 2022.
Attorneys for Guilday Law sent a letter to interim Walton County Attorney Clay Adkinson dated Aug. 2 stating that Sunday, who had worked for the county for 32 years and risen to the rank of deputy administrator for operations, had retained their services to file a whistleblower complaint to the county on his behalf.
"Mr. Sunday, by and through the undersigned, is exercising his rights ... to report suspected violations of law, gross mismanagement, and malfeasance on behalf of Walton County and, specifically, Commissioners Danny Glidewell and Michael Barker," the letter said.
The letter states that Sunday became aware Glidewell and Barker wanted to see him gone on July 26, when, following one-on-one meetings with both men, County Administrator Larry Jones, the only person in the county with the authority to fire Sunday, told him "Boy, they are after your ass."
More from Walton County:What is Walton County doing wrong — or right? Commissioner wants 'operations inspector.'
A monster issue in SoWal:Residents fed up with tourists in 'monster houses.' Walton commissioners are taking action
Jones, according to the Guilday Law attorneys, told Sunday that Barker and Glidewell had ordered him to get rid of Sunday or they would. The reasons they wanted him dismissed, according to the letter, were identical.
"This is particularly noteworthy in that both commissioners provided three identical reasons using, as confirmed by Mr. Jones, nearly verbatim language," the attorneys' letter said.
Barker and Glidewell told Jones in separate meetings that department directors who worked under Sunday didn't like him and neither did the two commissioners. They also wanted Sunday fired due to "Mr. Sunday allegedly attempting to cover up an incident involving Bobby Martin," the letter said.
Martin was hired as the county's safety and risk manager in January 2020, but the position was eliminated July 22 of this year.
Martin had previously served since 1985 with Walton County Fire Rescue, and was chief in 2018 when the department was placed under the purview of the Walton County Sheriff's Office. Sunday at the same time was making his way through the ranks of the Sheriff's Office as a deputy and corrections officer.
The letter does not offer specifics about the incident involving Martin, but it was investigated by Gary Mattison, an office aide for Commissioner Trey Nick, who the Guilday attorneys allege is the person Glidewell and Barker want to put in Sunday's job.
The attorneys state in the letter that Jones had confirmed Commissioner Glidewell's expressed wish to hire Mattison.
"During the course of that improper (July 26) meeting, Commissioner Glidewell told Mr. Jones that Mr. Mattison needed to be in Mr. Sunday's job," the letter said.
Glidewell said Monday he believed that Martin's position "was not created properly" and for that reason had been done away with. He said his July 26 discussion with Jones consisted of talk about "HR issues that needed to be looked at."
"From what I was hearing, jobs were being created that hadn't been approved by the board," he said, referring further questions to the county administrator.
Jones did not return a phone call seeking comment.
Sunday's attorneys claim Glidewell and Barker blatantly disregarded county policy to bring about their client's termination.
"Two commissioners have improperly colluded in an effort to terminate an employee over whom they have no direct authority and who has an exemplary employment record merely because they do not like him," the Guilday Law letter states.
County policy states that "fair and equitable treatment of all employees will be maintained in all areas of personnel matters," according to the letter. "The actions set out above stand in stark contrast to this."
The law firm also states that the actions of Barker and Glidewell constitute "a clear misuse of public office constituting gross mismanagement and malfeasance."
The commissioners, the letter states, could not in their capacity, or even with a vote by the majority of the five-member County Commission, legally fire Sunday.
"In the absence of this authority, Commissioners Barker and Glidewell have instead threatened Mr. Jones' employment (over which they do have some limited control) if he does not get rid of Mr. Sunday," said the letter, which was sent prior to the resignation being negotiated.
"Such actions by the commissioners is an improper interference with the day-to-day operation of the county," the letter said.
Barker did not return phone calls seeking comment.
The Guilday Law letter also implicates Jones and Adkinson for wrongdoing for actions taken leading up to Sunday's resignation.
Jones, the letter said, pursued Sunday between July 28-30, after Sunday had requested and been given leave time. He insisted on setting up a meeting.
"Mr. Sunday suspected that the meeting was for the purposes of Mr. Jones following through on the improper demand by Commissioners Barker and Glidewell to terminate him," the letter said.
Sunday then contacted the attorneys, who insisted in correspondence with Jones that they be in attendance at any meeting between the county administrator and the deputy county administrator.
On the morning of Aug. 2, Adkinson sent an email to Guilday Law. The county attorney expressed surprise that Sunday would have need for legal assistance present for a meeting with the county administrator.
"At this time, we are unaware of any claims being asserted or brought by Mr. Sunday. Accordingly, a meeting would appear to be unnecessary," his email said.
Adkinson told Sunday's lawyers that their client would be welcome to tender his resignation and receive compensation for paid time off. He also wrote that if Sunday chose not to resign he would be fired as of 4 p.m. that day.
"Your office has sent correspondence wherein Mr. Jones conveyed a demand for Mr. Sunday's resignation by 4pm CDT today or he will be terminated," a reply from Guilday Law said. "This demand is improper and constitutes retaliatory conduct on the part of Mr. Jones against Mr. Sunday for this complaint."
Under the terms of the resignation agreement, Sunday will be paid for "continuous, uninterrupted leave time" from Aug. 10 through Sept. 23, 2022. At the end of that term, he also will receive, according to the agreement, a lump sum payment for an additional 134 hours of vacation and sick leave accumulated during the period he is on leave.
The county handbook states "any employee leaving the employment of the county will be paid for their annual leave accrued up to a maximum of 120 hours."
With the departure of Sunday and Martin, and the as-yet not fully explained departure of Deputy County Attorney Heather Christman, the number of upper-tier county officials who have left Walton County since Barker and Boots McCormick joined the County Commission following the 2020 election is now five.

Related:Walton county attorney submits resignation, declines to read letter aloud at meeting
Former County Attorney Sidney Noyes resigned her position in February and the contract of former TDC Director Jay Tusa was terminated in May.
In one correspondence with Guilday Law, Adkinson does state that all actions approved in negotiating Sunday's resignation would be considered moot if any exceeded the county administrator's authority.
"Unless Mr. Sunday's requested terms of resignation are within the exclusive authority of the county administrator, none of the other verbiage discussions we've had matter," Adkinson wrote.
Adkinson did not return phone calls seeking comment.

Amphetamines work by increasing dopamine and serotonin levels in the brain and stimulating the central nervous system to make the person feel energized, focused, alert, or euphoric. These medications are prescribed to treat ADHD, narcolepsy, and obesity, but, they are habit forming and highly addictive if used for a long time, in abnormally high amounts, frequently, or abusively.
Dependency can happen to anyone and when the medication is discontinued, the person suffers withdrawals and it takes time for the body and mind to recover. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, "The most commonly used types of drugs included: asthma medicines for children, central nervous system stimulants for adolescents…" This makes treatment options for amphetamine withdrawal all the more necessary.
Detox centers can help you cope with withdrawal from amphetamine.
Treatment for amphetamine withdrawal requires a safe environment with easy access to medical professionals who will monitor, support, and provide necessary medical treatments for the person throughout the detox and withdrawal processes. Detox may also involve medications to alleviate symptoms of pain, nausea, or anxiety, as well as antipsychotic medications in cases of hallucinations or psychosis.
There are a variety of treatment options for amphetamine withdrawal that are available through outpatient, inpatient, or residential treatment centers. Once the detox is complete, the programs will vary by the facility, their amenities, resources, professional access, and staff availability. The primary goal is to help the person remain abstinent while they stabilize physically and psychologically before they begin the next step of their recovery.
Depression is a major concern during withdrawals from amphetamines. Combined with exhaustion, depression can lead to other psychological problems including suicidal tendencies. Depression can last for months after completing a formal detox and treatment options for amphetamine withdrawals must be able to help the person through counseling and therapy support with resources to cope with the withdrawals and remain abstinent, while preventing relapse.

Data literacy is an important part of the sciences, but it's an important skill our students should master even if they aren't going to grow up to work in a STEM field. In society at large, data is used to argue or persuade — to vote for political agendas, to enroll in this or that school, or to purchase one car over another. Data collection is an important part of many fields — bakers may keep logs of their recipes, gardeners track their plant growth, and homeowners keep an eye on their electrical bill month to month. People are constantly making conclusions from data, and the ability to understand how data are manipulated and presented is an important part of being an informed member of society.
In the past, data literacy was presented as a part of the scientific method. (Side Note: If you haven't yet, STOP TEACHING THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD. Check out the December 2018 workshop, "Stop Teaching The Scientific Method (And What To Do Instead)" if you still need more convincing.) "Cookie cutter" lab investigations were used to introduce the method, and oftentimes these were followed by similar cookie cutter science fair projects.
As educators realized these lab investigations were doing little to help students understand and practice science as a discipline, inquiry investigations were introduced. Unfortunately, many teachers (myself included, for many years!) were not given the guidance, instruction, or tools to effectively utilize inquiry to develop science skills and understanding. Data literacy is one tool that can help make inquiry-based learning more effective.
I've referenced this activity again and again, but it is one of my favorite approaches to analyzing data because it's framework can be applied to so many different situations. "What I See, What It Means" is all about helping students make observations first and then interpret those observations to make meaning from the graph, map, or table. The two step-approach guides students through the process and leads to deeper analysis. If you haven't already, you can download this free resource by joining my email list!
To scaffold the process of drawing conclusions from data, provide students with statements on sentence strips that describe patterns in the data (both accurate and inaccurate statements). Discuss which statements are accurate and which are not. Ask students to use the data to prove or disprove the statement.
Ask students to graph data (allowing them to choose the type of graph they will use). Provide basic checklists so that their graphs contain key components (titles, axis labels, etc). Then, have students compare their graphs by conducting a gallery walk. Ask students to write two positive statements and one critique of each visual representation. Discuss which graph best represents the data (most accurately, most clearly) and best supports an accurate interpretation of the data. Identify which graphs present a skewed interpretation of the data and discuss how they could be improved. *This activity requires a degree of trust that may take time to develop in a classroom. Incorporating opportunities for students to give and receive constructive feedback in low-risk activities can help build this in your classroom environment.
As I've already said, whenever you can, incorporate real-world data into your classroom. There are so many databases online today that track real-world data, there's no reason you can't find some to bring right into your classroom!
If you are anything like me, transitioning to the NGSS can be totally overwhelming. Teaching is hard as it is – you're busy keeping up with the "normal" lessons day to day and week to week, plus grading, meetings, IEPs, behavior management, so on and so forth. I get it. Who has the time or energy to figure out all that goes into these new standards and their impact on your curriculum, let alone what it means for your teaching!
Well, I'm happy to say there IS an easier way. You don't HAVE to muddle through everything, and you definitely don't have to do it alone!
Imagine feeling confident that the curriculum you designed is actually aligned to the standards, that your units incorporate the three dimensions and engage your students in Science and Engineering Practices that matter. Imagine classes full of students who take ownership of their learning, who thrive on "figuring it out" and "puzzling through it" and come to learn the content through discovery. Imagine days where you DON'T have to stand in front of the class, battling for their attention, delivering boring lectures and notes, printing worksheet after worksheet, and wasting tons of time on review and reteaching — only to have your students fail to perform anyway. Imagine learning that sticks, and engaging activities (that you may already be doing!) but that lead to true understanding. It's not magic, and it doesn't necessarily come easy, but it IS possible.

Q: VLC has gone over the top left of the screen. How do I move it? I started VLC the other day, and it is starting off the top left corner of the screen, so as I can't select the title bar to move.
I've tried right clicking it's entry in the task bar, and selecting move, and that didn't work either. How do I get it back into the screen?
EDIT: This is on Vista btw

A: It is very weird for the "move" not to work. Did you just try with the mouse?
This probably would've failed as you have to click (and drag) on the title bar or very few other areas that may also be hidden.
Try to do "move again" and press Shift+→ or ↓ on the Keyboard and see if you can move it that way.

A: From an anonymous user:
But actually there is an easier working solution in the VideoLAN Forum:
Removal of the directory %appdata%\vlc helps.
I removed the folder and it rebuilt what it needed when it started it up again
It seem to have fixed the problem.

A: here's one mighty little tool for you:
AltMove Windows & Mouse Manager adds more functionality to your mouse for interacting with windows.

The moving: You can move windows and
  controls which do not support this
  ability.
The resizing: You can resize windows
  and controls which do not support this
  ability.
The hiding and restoring: You can hide
  any window from desktop (to tray bar
  or completely) and restore it.
The opaque: You can change the opaque of
  windows.
The document work: You can assign
  key-mouse combinations to standard menu
  items of different programs.
Start your programs: Use the mouse to run
  your programs and open documents from
  evevrywhere.

AltMove is freeware.

A: Windows Vista / 7 solution:

*

*Press win + x, "connect display" then "duplicate". This should bring the VLC window back to your screen.

*Close VLC player and press win + x again, now "disconnect display" and choose "disconnect projector".

*Problem solved. VLC will work properly next time you launch it.

A: May be by following the advice in the "Bring Misplaced Off-Screen Windows Back to Your Desktop (Keyboard Trick)"

First make sure you've alt-tabbed to the window, or clicked on it once to bring it into focus. Then right-click on the taskbar and choose Move
At this point, you should notice that your cursor changes to the "Move" cursor, but you still can't move anything.
Just hit any one of the arrow keys (Left, Right, Down, Up), move your mouse, and the window should magically "pop" back onto the screen.
Note: For keyboard savvy people, you can jus:

*

*alt-tab to the window,

*use Alt+Space, then

*M, then Arrow key, and then

*move your mouse.

As Liam Mitchell adds in the comments

Alt+Space X to maximize then drag title bar down fixed it.

A: Well, this is sort of a non-answer answer.
I spent about an hour looking around the registry and the %appdata%\roaming\vlc folder in windows, and wherever this setting is, it is very nicely hidden.  You'd expect to find it in the vlcrc or vlc-qt-interface file, but I sure don't see it.

A: You could always download vlc again, and run the 'reset preferences'-file that comes with it.

Fundraising like reporting: How eight nonprofit newsrooms majorly increased their major gifts
"These skills are in some ways very similar to doing journalism. As that was impressed upon the cohort, that helped make a shift: It helped give people a mindset where they felt more confident and realized, 'Yes, I do have the skills to do this.'"
12 local newsrooms, seven states, one big problem: How an INN collaboration is nationalizing the rural healthcare crisis
"If the Iowa Falls newspaper writes about its hospital for two years, it's an Iowa Falls problem that Iowa Falls has to solve…And by the time you're talking about a major region of the nation like that, it becomes a national problem to be solved."

Nonprofit news outlets aren't relying as heavily on foundations — but journalism philanthropy continues to grow
"Nonprofit news organizations have much in common even if their scope or mission differs. Their journalistic missions are shaped largely by the gaps they are trying to fill — investigative at the state, national and global level; more general news at the local level."
Christine SchmidtMarch 20, 2019
50,000 first-time donors? Here's how four nonprofit organizations used NewsMatch to the fullest
"The biggest takeaway for us is there is a pool of donors there that was untapped, and now we realize they do exist."
More than 240,000 people donated to nonprofit newsrooms via NewsMatch in 2018 (50,000 for the first time)
This is the state of nonprofit news in 2018
What was once a space characterized by scrappy upstarts is now a third-of-a-billion-dollar endeavor — but still with a lot of scrappy upstarts.

Formulated by a team of doctors and research scientists from Carlsbad California, EidoPro Protein Powder delivers the precise benefits of whey protein, without any filler. This fast-acting, complete protein contains all essential amino acids which are critical for the building of lean muscle and the recovery phase of any fitness regimen.
Formulated by a team of doctors and research scientists, EidoPro Protein Powder delivers the precise benefits of whey protein, without any filler. This fast-acting, complete protein contains all essential amino acids which are critical for the building of lean muscle and the recovery phase of any fitness regimen.
We have tested a number of great recipes using EidoPro Protein Powder. Because our protein powder has a neutral taste and is extremely soluble, it is easy to enhance basic recipes for muffins, bars, cakes and cookies. Try one of our recipes, or get creative and add some EidoPro Protein Powder to your own baking.
Plant vs. dairy-based. Isolate vs. concentrate. We've done the research for you in this easy-to-use buying guide that will help demystify the complex world of protein powder. If you are wondering why your current protein powder hasn't helped you achieve your fitness goals, this guide may have the answer.
"I really like using this product and reorder it every month. I'm trying to lose weight and increase my intake of protein. Using this protein powder is a big help. I put it into my hot tea instead of cream (it dissolves well if I put it in a shaker together with a small amount of skim milk first). I also add it to my gluten-free quick bread recipe to create a high-protein muffin. I highly recommend it."
"Whey protein is my preferred protein supplement. I have seen studies that whey can reduce the risk of developing type II diabetes, help increase median lifespan, may inhibit cancer development, reduces muscle wasting, and helps defend against cognitive decline. There is also evidence that indicates that the branched branched-chain amino acids found in whey (BCAAs - leucine, isoleucine, and valine) help to mimic many of the longevity benefits of calorie restriction - all without extreme food deprivation. So when I hunt for whey protein supplements, I look for amino acid compositions with good levels of leucine, isoleucine, and valine, no sugar, and low carbs. This protein powder fits the bill. An excellent choice."
"I am celiac. Whey isolate protein, unflavored is required when making good gluten free bread. I searched and searched for a small amount to be. I did not need that massive container. This product was perfect!! My bread came out fantastic - not gritty or gummy. It tasted very near to what bread should taste like. I am so happy I found this product."
It's as advertised. It's a quality Whey without all the other junk.
"It's as advertised. It's a quality Whey without all the other junk. This will blend in with whatever you mix it with. As designed, it doesn't have any taste to it. So, you provide that with whatever you mix it with. With other whey protein products, I would get kind of gassy or bloated. After using this, and experiencing no bloat, that tells me it was the extra ingredients in the other whey products."
"I like to mix protein powder in fruit juice after a workout. Juice is usually plenty sweet, so I prefer a powder without sweeteners or artificial flavors. This protein works very well and is helping me stay strong. The protein in pouches is a nice idea because tubs are too bulky and are difficult to travel with. The pouch this protein came in was hermetically sealed which keeps the moisture away and helps preserve the integrity of the protein. Overall, this is a great healthy alternative to other products in the market."
Absolutely hands down the best whey protein I've tried!!
"Being that I'm gluten free, sugar free and artificial free, this protein is the best I've tried! I'm extremely satisfied with the quality and texture of this product compared to countless others I've tried. I love that is mixes easily with just about everything and is never gritty. I digest it easily and with no bloat. I am very happy with this powder. It can easily be transformed into 'chocolate' with just mixing a little cocao powder with liquid vanilla stevia...YUM!"
"The taste is excellent, refreshing and not at all cloying. It blended easily and made my smoothies perfect. I recommend this product."
"I love this protein powder. I was looking for something without sugar or artifical sweeteners or flavoring to add to smoothies. This powder works great! I can sneak some protein in to my kids smoothies and they love it. I've even added it to milk with some chocolate milk powder and it's great in that as well. It does have a heavy dairy flavor, so I wouldn't think it would be good in just water but I've loved it in everything I've used it in!"
"I purchased this because it didn't have all the additives and sugar the other protein powders I've used had. I was afraid that it would be disgusting but it is actually really good in my cool herbal mint tea (has the taste similar to adding milk). It seems like it would be good in just about any tea. I tried it in Sobe Zero, not so great :) As for the protein boost, I really felt it. Great product to have on you when traveling."
"wonderful...no taste at all. I put it in my smoothies in the morning and it carries me through for several hours. Wish it was cheaper though."
"This is the only protein powder that I use, no artificial sweeteners or flavors and a sufficient nutritional value for a tasty morning smoothie. I love playing around with fresh fruits, vegetables, spices like turmeric and different kinds of milks. EidoPro's whey protein isolate has a nice creamy texture and the flavor is very neutral. Perfect for me :P"
"Great quality. Dissolves quickly. I added it to various veggie juices and soy milks; tasted great."
"Love this product. I use it everyday. Even the rest of my family are starting to use it."
"Great customer service. Good product. Thank you!"
"Great Product. I have tried others and this is the best hands down. Quick delivery."


Please be sure to stop by tomorrow for a very important post that will have some severe repercussions within the Doctor Who fan community.
From worst to best of what I paid for.
You can't go home again, and certainly can't by just hiring some Grant Morrison collaborators and hoping for the best. Perfectly adequate, I guess, if all you want is nostalgia. But you know what's better? The Grant Morrison run on New X-Men.
Not a bad comic, to be clear, but one that's spinning its wheels a bit. There's no new concepts to introduce, it would seem, but plot to resolve before the end, resulting in an issue that's functional. I suspect coming out at the same time as the other "Crossed in a different time period" book is not doing Gillen any favors here, not least because the other one is written by Alan Moore. Really, one kind of has to pity Gillen; he must have assumed, starting his career when he did, that "having your book come out alongside an Alan Moore book with which it is inevitably going to be compared" was a fate he'd be spared.
Competent, fun, but man, Convergence killed the momentum here. I like the dynamic introduced for Batgirl by Gordon becoming Batman, though. That should be a fun story. And the scene where Gordon reveals his double identity to his daughter is delightful. Basically, a book I look forward to being excited about again.
Waid makes a slick turn into his final arc, setting up a suitably epic Daredevil/Kingpin showdown that doesn't feel like any we've seen before. I admit, I've not sat down and watched the Netflix series, but I really do hope that Waid's approach here reinvigorates the character in the long-term and gets him away from the banal and repetitive noir take that he's been stuck in for decades.
Garth Ennis at his hilarious best. This is not a complex or subtle comic, just a very funny one with lots of monsters and a ruthlessly mocked protagonist. The final twist caused the sort of intensive laughter that gets you weird looks at Starbucks.
Pleasantly, this is increasingly obviously just ignoring the actual Secret Wars aspects of the plot and just sort of doing a side Norse apocalypse in which they react to Hickman's. Verity's life story is delightful in a classic Al Ewing way, and the cliffhanger's solid. Going to enjoy the final lap here, I think.
Very glad I forgot to drop this, as this is absolutely wonderful now that it's successfully trained the audience in how to read it. Ridiculously inaccurate cover, or, at least, one that ignores what most of the comic is. But family Nova Corps is a brilliant take. Is Zigzag the best new character of 2015? I think she is.
This frustrated me through much of its run, and I suspect that Morrison could have made it work better in four issues than six, but no matter; the finale is a triumph. LA noir bleeds into epic science fiction and a meditation on the craft of writing in the way that only Grant Morrison can do it. Funny, touching, exciting, and full of very pretty Frazer Irving art. Delightful, delightful issue.
Phil, have you thought about picking up "Material"? v curious what you'd make of it.
I've not heard of it; tell me more.
Image; Ales Kot; 4 different unrelated (for now) plots happening at once; post-Ferguson US politics; theoretical riffs obviously under the influence of Negri/ Hardt's "Empire" in some places. Have utterly no idea how it's going to resolve, and it could be a big mess, but I think you might dig it.
Severe repercussions sounds terribly ominous.
It's not a fun post. But it needs publishing, so it shall be.
I hope severe repercussions doesnt mean the return of Adric and Mel to the show. I love Doctor Who but there are limits!
I have trepidation as I await the post. What could it be? Ian Levene announced as new show runner with Vox Day as script editor?
If you have a bit of time you should try the Daredevil Netflix show, it was really quite good.
