Grand Rapids Griffins Down Rockford IceHogs 2-1 on New Year's Eve
After a rough stretch through early and mid December that saw them drop six of seven games, the Grand Rapids Griffins were hoping to finish 2018 on a high note. That's exactly what they did. They finished out the month and year with a 4-0-1-0 record in their last five games. This puts the Griffins at 43 points on the season, just one point behind the Chicago Wolves for the Central Division lead, with an overall record of 19-11-3-2.
This strong end of the year was capped off on Monday night in Van Andel Arena where the Griffins faced the Rockford IceHogs. This game featured a lot of very fast back and forth action with both teams generating their share of shots and chances but neither were able to sustain offensive pressure for any long stretches. It was a very evenly matched game throughout.
Both goaltenders, Kevin Lankinen for Rockford and Harri Sateri for Grand Rapids, played very strong games and kept the game scoreless past the halfway point of the second period. Then, in the span of 42 seconds, Rockford took two hooking penalties which gave the Griffins a five on three powerplay. They were able to capitalize on this and finally put one past Lankinen when Carter Camper received a cross ice pass from Chris Terry and snuck a bad angle shot into the back of the net with 8:41 remaining in the period. Just four minutes and 31 seconds later, the IceHogs responded. The IceHogs were able to win a faceoff in the Griffins' zone and got the puck back to defenseman Lucas Carlsson who then took a slapshot from the point that found its way through traffic and Grand Rapids goaltender Harri Sateri to knot the game at one. After these goals both goalies resumed their dominance of the game and each turned away 21 of the 22 shots they faced in the first two periods.
The third period was more of the same with both teams getting some chances but not being able get anything to the back of the net. This game seemed destined for overtime until Grand Rapids defenseman Joe Hicketts came streaking into the zone, received a nice pass from Chris Terry, and fired a slap shot through Lankinen from the top of the right faceoff circle with just four minutes and 44 seconds remaining in the game. This would prove to be the game winner as the IceHogs could not beat Sateri in the last few minutes with their goalie pulled. Sateri would be named first star of the game after turning aside 31 of the 32 shots he faced.
Chris Terry has been dominant as of late. He has recorded three goals and six assists during the Griffins' recent 4-0-1-0 stretch. The offense currently seems to run through him as he has contributed on nine of the Griffins' 14 goals during this span. As well, this does not include the shootout winner he potted against Cleveland on December 29. He currently leads the league in goals with 21 and comes third in overall points with 38. His 21 goals put him 8 goals ahead of Matt Puempel (13 goals) for the team lead. He comes second on the team in assists with 17, just one behind Carter Camper. Terry's 38 points also leads the team by a wide margin with the next closest being Matt Puempel and Carter Camper who both have 26 points.
Harri Sateri looked very impressive again on Monday night. His movement in net looks very smooth and he is tracking pucks well. In his last three starts he is 2-0-1 having made 91 saves on 96 shots faced for a save percentage of .948 and a goals against average of 1.65. Overall on the season he is 11-6-2 with a save percentage of .890 and goals against average of 3.09.
The Griffins are scary at home. They sport a 12-3-1-2 record at Van Andel Arena which is good for 27 points and is tied for the most points at home in the league. At home they average 3.44 goals for per game and allow 2.78 goals per game. In their last 10 games in Grand Rapids, the Griffins are 7-1-1-1. With this impressive home record, however, they have struggled on the road and are 7-8-2-0 which comes in at 19th	overall in the league. When playing on the road they are scoring	only 2.65 goals per game and allowing 3.18 goals per game on average. Fortunately for Grand Rapids, their play at home has been more than enough to offset their mediocre road record. Unfortunately for Grand Rapids, they start off 2019 with five road games in their first seven games of the new year. They will have to figure out their road game soon as one would think that their hot run at home so far this season will eventually come back down to earth and not be able to carry their play on the road for much longer.
Grand Rapids starts off 2019 with a three game road trip including back to back games Friday night against Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and on Saturday night against the Hershey Bears. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton should be the tougher game as they currently sit in fourth place in the Atlantic Division with a 17-14-4-1 record good for 39 points. However, their home record of 7-8-1-0 is as mediocre as Grand Rapids' road record and is good for second worst in the AHL. Saturday night's game against the Hershey Bears should be the easier of the two games as the Bears sit third to last in the entire league with a record of 14-18-0-2 for 30 points. However, any game on the end of a back to back is dangerous so it should keep things interesting.

Barrett's esophagus is a condition in which the lining of the esophagus (the muscular tube connecting mouth to stomach) is replaced by tissue that is similar to the lining of the intestine. This is known as intestinal metaplasia.
This condition causes no symptoms itself, but is often found in people with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and increases the risk of developing esophageal cancer in a small number of people.
About one percent of adults in the United States have Barrett's esophagus. The average age of diagnosis is 50 years of age. Twice as many men as women develop Barrett's esophagus, and Caucasian men are affected more frequently than men of other races.
What causes Barrett's esophagus is not fully understood, however, GERD is a risk factor for the condition. While some people without GERD do get Barrett's esophagus, it is three to five times more likely to occur in people who also have GERD.
Less than one percent of people diagnosed with Barrett's esophagus will develop esophageal cancer. A patient may have Barrett's esophagus for several years before they develop esophageal adenocarcinoma.
If you have GERD or Barrett's esophagus, your physician may advocate periodic examinations with biopsies taken to look for any early warning signs of cancer. Usually, precancerous cells will appear in the Barrett's tissue before esophageal cancer develops. This condition is known as dysplasia, and will be revealed through biopsies of esophageal tissue.
Early detection and treatment of dysplasia may help prevent the development of esophageal cancer.
Barrett's esophagus causes no symptoms. It can only be diagnosed by means of an upper endoscopy to obtain a biopsy of esophagus tissue.
While you are sedated, a tiny lighted camera on the end of a flexible tube (endoscope) is inserted into your throat. Tiny tweezers (forceps) may be used to sample esophageal tissue. This tissue will be examined later by a pathologist to determine if the cells are abnormal.
Barrett's esophagus will not go away on its own. It must be treated through endoscopic treatments or surgery. The goal of these procedures is to remove the Barrett's cells and any dysplasia and cancer cells, encouraging normal esophageal tissue to grow back as the area heals.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT): PDT uses a light-sensitizing agent (Photofrin) and a laser to kill abnormal cells. Photofrin is injected into a vein and the patient returns 48 hours later. An endoscope is then inserted into the esophagus and the laser light activates the Photofrin, which then destroys the Barrett's tissue.
Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR): EMR is a procedure in which the Barrett's lining is lifted, and a solution is injected underneath it. The lining is then removed through the use of an endoscope. If an EMR is used to treat cancer, an endoscopic ultrasound is used to determine whether the cancer involves only the top layer of cells.
The most common procedure, an esophagectomy, involves the removal of most of the esophagus, pulling a portion of the stomach up into the chest, and attaching it to the remaining esophagus.

Reggae makes UNESCO world heritage list
The UN's cultural agency said reggae music has contributed to "international discourse on issues" such as injustice and resistance. Kingston has described the music tradition as "uniquely Jamaican."
Sourced from: https://www.dw.com/en/reggae-makes-unesco-world-heritage-list/a-46498589
The United Nations' cultural and scientific agency UNESCO on Thursday added reggae music to its list of global cultural treasures, saying its worldwide popularity "continues to act as a voice for all.".
"Its contribution to international discourse on issues of injustice, resistance, love and humanity underscores the dynamics of the element as being at once cerebral, sociopolitical, sensual and spiritual," UNESCO said.
Jamaica had pushed for the rich music tradition to be listed as "intangible cultural heritage," and as such, deemed worthy of protection under UNESCO.
Ahead of the vote, Jamaican Culture Minister Olivia Grange said that her country pushed for reggae to be added to the prestigious list as a "uniquely Jamaican" musical tradition that has touched communities across the globe.
"It is a music that we have created that has penetrated all corners of the world," Grande said.

'Burnin' and lootin'
Reggae originated in Jamaica in the late 1960s, blending the country's ska, and rocksteady genres with blues and jazz. Songs of the genre often addressed sociopolitical issues, including inequality, police brutality and imprisonment.
"This morning I woke up in a curfew / Oh God, I was a prisoner too / Could not recognize the faces standing over me / They were all dressed in uniforms of brutality," reggae icon Bob Marley sung on the 1973 track "Burnin' and lootin'."
Many songs in the reggae tradition also extolled peace, unity and positivity, such as Marley's "One love" and Desmond Dekker's "Sing a little song."
Germany's own variation of reggae has been propagated by artists such as Gentleman and Seeed.

The very high level of requirements for certification procedures often limit research and development departments to innovate using increments and iterations during the design process for medical devices (MD). Instead of this semi-empirical approach, a structured procedure, a breakthrough innovation should be used when designing an articular MD (prosthesis, implant). The search for concepts can be based on functional analysis and producing behavioural models of the joint in its natural state and/or equipped with the prosthesis. This paper shows how anatomical variables can be managed and integrated using a modular design approach.


This project focuses on expanding social and economic opportunities for women entrepreneurs. Participants will examine ways in which the U.S. fosters the advancement of women in business. Visitors will explore the variety of mentorship, job shadowing, education, and skills-development programs offered by government, universities, corporations, and private associations to prepare women for leadership roles.


I'm not liking your blemishes either. The product you have left (the Clay Mask) is the one that exfoliates and gets rid of the dark spots. Sometimes it's an everyday application that's needed. You may require a Personalized Custom Blended Oneness skincare system. Let's do a video chat to get to the core of your skin problems and consider allowing me to formulate a blend specifically for you.
I once clear a client's pimples and dark spots by having her use the products all day.
It went like this... cleanse-mask-dry-remove with cleansing toner-mask- and repeat all day. My evening her pimples were completely gone. Not saying you have to go to that extreme but if you want natural results it may take some more diligent effort on your part.
The next thing to consider are the foods you consume that are causing the blemishes. More water, less fried foods and sugars will help rid your body of the cause of the problem. Remember, anything showing up on your skin is pushing out from inside your body. I know, talking about changing food intake is not a course of action most are willing to take. Oh well.
How long will it take, that's the $64 million question isn't it? Yep. Well how long have you had the skin issue? Generally in natural healing the number of years you have had the challenge, it takes that number of months of consistent use to overcome the challenge. My Oneness natural ingredient products work different than the C.R.A.P. (chemical risky artificial poisons) found in the over-the-counter chemical, drugs or synthetic products. Oneness skincare products are made for wellness, no a cover-up, will not suppress symptoms, are formulated to address the cause of the problem.

Rigorous mitigation strategies vital for restarting NTD community health work
Jumah Cooper has her height measured by community volunteer Victor Scott, to determine how much treatment she needs. Jumah lives in Gbarpolu county in Liberia (photo taken in March 2020).
The resumption of mass drug administration programmes to treat neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) is essential to reach the forthcoming World Health Organization 2021-2030 NTD Roadmap targets, according to a new report.
The report, called Neglected tropical disease activities in Africa in the COVID-19 era: the need for a 'hybrid' approach in COVID endemic times, states that risk mitigation strategies put in place since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic show that important health interventions can be restarted with limited risk and potentially huge benefits.
The report says the 'hybrid approach' would see NTD practices such as behavioural change messaging and WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) interventions also help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
The report is written by Professor David Molyneux, emeritus professor and former director of the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM), in conjunction with staff from Sightsavers: Philip Downs, Ron Bannerman, Simon Bush, Joy Shu'aibu and Pelagie Boko-Collins.
It highlights the risk assessment and mitigation action (RAMA) tools that have been developed by Sightsavers and partners. These are being used by national NTD programme managers and partner/donor representatives to assess the risk of COVID-19 transmission and mitigation measures to be put in place.
The report states: "With the RAMA tools we have shown the COVID-19 crisis need not allow the major health issues that confront poor and vulnerable populations to be forgotten. Indeed, the resilience of health interventions, exemplified by NTD projects, to manage and implement integrated disease control responses should be the model for progress."
The report also points out that while there are increased costs for safely delivering mass drug administration and other community outreach programmes, the benefits also include building resilience in responding to future emerging infectious diseases and alleviating secondary health impacts that could delay progress towards universal health coverage (UHC).
Where many traditional systems are distance-based, NTD programmes reach beyond the 'end of the road' via community-based volunteers with a proven track record of delivery – a human resource that can be harnessed now.
NTD outreach work in the COVID-19 era will also be more efficient with better inter-programme coordination, particularly with malaria and immunisation programmes.
COVID-19 and NTD innovation
Sightsavers worked swiftly with donors and partners to adapt a WHO risk assessment tool for the context of NTDs, enabling us to mitigate the risk of spreading COVID-19 and restart treatments.

In my teaching on Sunday, I suggested that Scriptural narratives are a good place to start if you're looking for a way to "begin again" (or for the first time) to read the Bible.
The stories in the Bible are fascinating and entertaining, but they also come with challenges that can get in the way of our desire to take the narratives seriously and apply them to our lives. Among the various challenges is to recognize that the Bible has a view of itself that does not fit today's labels "liberal" and "conservative." The "liberal" view that I am talking about is the view that the scriptures just reflect some of the best human ideas about God and life. The "conservative" view that I am talking about is the view that the scriptures were meant to give us a once-and-for-all word from God, and all we need to do is obey them.
Here is one of many narratives that indicate the people we are told about in the Bible (and the people who wrote the Scriptures) did not hold either of these views (liberal/conservative) about how the scriptures originated, nor about how they were to be used. Think about the many implications of the historical process between Moses, the daughters of Zelopheahad, and the Torah (what we now call the books of Moses).
At this point, Moses and Israel are following the practice of most of the ancient world, and quite a bit of the modern world, in which males are the only legal heirs and spokespersons for their families.
BUT…the five single sisters, who have no brothers and whose father has died, come to Moses and ask him to amend the current Torah of Israel—the current "law of Moses." In contrast to the view that the Bible just records the best of human ideas, both Moses in the narrative, and the author who records this event, acknowledge that Moses does not have any better idea. He goes to seek Yahweh for help with a situation that has not yet been addressed in the emerging Torah. Contrary to the view that scripture is just once for all revealed by God and from that point on the only human responsibility is obedience, Moses and the five sisters are presented as both believing that God has been revealing the law of Moses, AND that they need to seek further help in addressing a situation that had not yet been addressed by the law of Moses.
Moses seeks God on behalf of the sisters and Israel, God reveals a next step. Moses tells the sisters they are right. The current practice, though currently God's law, is limited, and in their case, this limitation would if applied without new help from God lead to injustice rather than justice. The five sisters are sure that "just obeying" the law of Moses as it stands will actually lead to injustice not justice. The current law of Moses would exclude their father and his heirs from their rightful inheritance in the tribe of Manasseh. His "name" would disappear.
Now, why did God not go ahead at this point and tell Moses that the Scriptures would need some further additions and further extended application, instead of waiting until real history and real people brought up the next question that came from taking the revelation seriously?
We are not given an answer to that question, but rather, another part to the narrative. This occurs in Numbers 36:2ff, in which the elders of other tribes come and present Moses with another tension between the scriptures as they stand at this point and reality as it is developing in the history of Israel. Even with God's revelation in hand, another injustice looms as a major possibility. If the sisters marry outside their tribe, the land promised to the tribe of Manasseh will become compromised, and even the year of Jubilee will not fix things. Moses again has no great personal ideas. Instead, he goes to God for insight and help. Again, God says to Moses that, like the 5 sisters, now the elders are right, and the Torah is extended/amended yet again.
Many issues are raised here, but for your thoughts, I would suggest that we all wrestle with (1) the actual process described in this narrative between what we now call "the Bible," and the need for continuing reapplication in emerging real life, that often presents us with things the Biblical writers had not yet considered, and (2) the fact that the final editor/author of the "Torah/Law of Moses" could easily have edited out this process and just given us the "Law of Moses" without the process involved in reaching the stage at which it stands at the end of Numbers.
Clearly, a different view of the dynamic between God, scripture, faithfulness, and obedience is at work, more than either of the commonly held modern theories about scripture. What should we, as a part of the people of God in the 21century AD, learn from encountering this narrative, and others like it, prayerfully and honestly?
I do not pretend to know all that would occur if we took the Bible seriously in what it says about itself. I would love to see us (NCF and the church world wide) create an atmosphere in which we could explore the Scriptures and the dynamic tensions they offer us without immediately attempting to stuff them into modern paradigms that really do not take the Bible seriously on its own terms. Ideas?


This week will be our final week of Geometry for the year. We will be continuing to discuss similar shapes and scale factors but this time will be using the coordinate grid to perform and describe dilatations. TUesday to Thursday will be spent practicing various enlargements and reductions of shapes based on specific scale factors a from a centre of dilatation either on the shape, on the origin, or from another point on the grid. On Friday, students will be writing a short (one page, two question) assessment to prove that they have mastered the concept.
On Tuesday, we will be discussing the final topic in our Pure Substances and Mixtures unit: methods of separating solutions. The test for the second half of the unit will not be until May 3 but we will be taking some time on Wednesday to review the concepts. I will also be writing a blog post which outlines the test topics and some review material that can be used. Then starting on Friday (Monday for 7-10), students will be complete the CSI project – more info to come!
Also, students were made aware last week that they may be missing certain assignment. I will be discussing these missing tasks with the student first and will be giving an opportunity for some of the assignments to be completed over the next week. I would much rather students actually have to complete the assignments/lab as opposed to just accepting a "zero" for the missed work. I will be notifying parents of the missed assignments at some point this week.
Would you like your 13-18 year old son or daughter to travel the world and be immersed in the French language and culture? Would you also like for them to do this affordably? If so, the Holy Trinity C.H.S. – Lycée Sainte Croix de Neuilly (Paris) EXCHANGE TRIP may be the trip of a lifetime! Pending approval of the OCSB, selected students will be invited to participate in a cultural and educational exchange with the Lycée Sainte Croix de Neuilly, Paris, France. This exchange will be open to students in all levels of French who will be in Grades 8-12 in the 2019-2020 school year. Holy Trinity families participating in the exchange program will host a French student in February 2020 and, in return, Trinity students will live with their French exchange partners in the month of March/April 2020. During the exchange, students will attend a variety of activities organized by the schools as well as the individual families. Please see Madame Pivato in Room 304 for more information.
For more school-wide news, visit the weekly newsletter HERE.
In the past week or so we have had a student walkout, two feeder school visits, a snow day, play and band performances, an invention convention, sport tournaments and I was away for two days. To say we fell out of routine a little is an understatement!
Last week, we reviewed some concepts from grade 6 including congruence and transformations. Students created tiling patterns (tessellations) in the form of artwork. This "Escher Art" is due on Monday (for students looking for the tutorials from class, they can find them HERE). This coming week, we will be starting to discuss similar shapes and will relate this concept to past number sense topics of percent and proportions. There will be a short assessment on Wednesday, which will involve both congruent and similarity.
We have been studying solubility and factors affecting the rate of dissolving. Student lab groups designed their own experiments to test the impact of one independent variable on the rate of dissolving. Variables include: temperature, amount of solute, amount of solvnet, concentration of solvent, size of solute (sugar cube), stirring speed and container size. On Tuesday, we will be using analysing our results and the lab report will be due on Wednesday. Also, next week, we will be discussing methods to separate mechanical mixtures (include sorting, floating/settling, sifting, filtering, and magnetism).
For those looking for school-wide news, check out the Trinity weekly newsletter HERE.
We are shifting gears a bit this week as we move into data management. This week, students will be complete a project which involves sorting and organizing raw data taken from the Census at Schools survey. Students will be choosing a question to explore, collecting and organizing the school data, comparing the school data to Canadian data (through tables and graphs) and finally analysing the data for trends. Each day, we will be working on another part of the project with Friday being a final work day to finish it up. The project itself will be due on Monday, April 8 but I am certain that the majority of students will finish by the end of class on Friday.
A workspace has been created to help students with this project. It includes helpful videos, resources such as data tables and links to Canadian data, as well as a template for the project itself. Students can access this information through their workspace. Parents wanting to check it out can view the workspace HERE.
Finally, students are encouraged to review their online assessment tracker and identify areas from the previous Number Sense topics which they should be improving at home. Once they feel as though they have a solid understanding of the topic (through completing online practice using the links on the blog or mathspace and/or attending extra help sessions at school), they are to fill out a re-assessment request form. All reassessment are written on Wednesday, at the beginning of lunch, in room N205.
Parents should be expecting to see their child's assessment duotang sometime next week as I will be handing back all of the term 2 assessments up to this point. These are valuable tools for students who would like to identify what topics they might need to work on at home or at lunchtime help sessions.
Since students completed their test on the first half of the unit last week, we are moving on the second half: Solutions, rate of dissolving and separating mixtures. This week, we will be discussing several new terms; terms which students need to know well as we proceed through the content. They include: solute, solvent, solution, unsaturated, saturated, supersaturated, dilute, concentrated, soluble, insoluble, solubility and concentration. Students are highly encouraged to read through the text links (below) and/or watch some of the resources in order to familiarize themselves with the content.
On Tuesday, we will be making Rock Candy as we explore supersaturated solutions. ON Wednesday, we will explore the difference between solubility and concentration as well as solubility curves through an online exploration.
I will be handing back several labs and other assessments this week so parents should expect to see the assessment duotang at home in the later part of the week. Many students have NOT handed in assignments, even after several reminders. I will be touching base with these students and they will have to complete alternative assignments in order to obtain the credit.
For school-wide news, please check out the Trinity weekly newsletter HERE. Have a great week!
So since I missed last week's post I should say a belated "Welcome back from the break"! Whether skiing, sunning on a beach, going to a camp or enjoying a staycation, I hope that everyone had a rejuvenating break – I definitely did! In both math and science, we are just finishing up our current topics and will be starting new ones this week.
This week, our focus on proportional reasoning shifts to percents. We will be relating ratios, fraction and decimals to percents; calculating percents; and solving problems related to percents such as calculating tax, tips, and discounts. On Friday, student will write a short assessment on these topics. This will be the final Number Sense and Numeration topic this year. Students will be able to submit re-assessment requesting starting this Wednesday until the first week of June on any term 2 topic with which they would like to be re-assessed. My goal this weekend it to get all submitted assessments marked and posted online so that students can see what topics they might want to review.
We are just finishing up the first half of our unit on Pure Substances and Mixtures. The test for this content is scheduled for Tuesday, March 26. Students should check out THIS POST for more information on this assessment. Following this, we will be going deeper into solutions: how they are created, why things dissolve and what factors increase the rate of dissolving.
For school-wide news, check out the Holy Trinity weekly newsletter HERE.
This coming Tuesday, science students will be writing their Concept Check on the first part of the Pure Substance and Mixtures unit.
Example Question: What are the five points in the Particle Theory?
Example Question: What happens to the particles when a substance is heated?
Example Question: How is the particle configuration different in solids, liquids, and gases?
Example Question: What does it mean to say that liquids have a definite volume but indefinite shape?
Example Question: Would tap water be classified as a pure substance, solution or mechanical mixture? Explain.
Example Question: When baby oil is combined with water, does it form a solution or mechanical mixture? How do you know? Explain.
Students looking for some additional practice questions can refer to the additional REVIEW QUESTIONS here. Students are also encouraged to check out the WORKSPACE which contains additional resources to support these topics.
Last week before March break and it's Spirit Week!
As we try to wrap up our current topics before the holiday, there are several items to address this week. Firstly, students will be writing a Check In on "Operations involving Fractions with Like Denominators" this coming Monday (check out THIS POST for more information on the concepts covered on this assessment). I will be available Monday at lunch for any students who would like some clarification before the assessment.
On Friday, students will be writing a SWYK on adding and subtracting fractions. Obviously, I realize that some families may be leaving early for vacation and may miss this SWYK. Students in this situation can either write the SWYK on Thursday during class or on the Wednesday (March 20) when we return from the break.
We had a few interruptions last week so are making some changes to our original timelines. Firstly, the Particle Theory video project is being cancelled partly due to time constraints and partly due to a lack of quality and effort on the student's behalf. Instead, I plan to formally assess the Particle Theory poster that students started last week. It will be due at the beginning on class on Wednesday and students (in 7-10) will have some additional class time to complete it on Monday following their quiz.
For the rest of the week, we will be focusing on Classifying Matter. Students should be checking out the Workspace (Topic – Classifying Matter) for more information.
On Wednesday, students will be completing a classification lab. Although they should be able to finish the entire lab write up during Wednesday's class period, I am giving them until Friday to hand in the lab. I don't teach 7-10 after Wednesday, sio those students who do not complete it during Wednesday's class, will have to hand it in to me some point before the end of the week.
There will be NO homework assigned in math or science over the break. The whole reason why we are planning on working so hard this week was so we could take a week off!
For school-wide news, check out the Trinity weekly newsletter HERE.
My classroom is open to students on Monday at lunch for those looking for some additional clarification before the assessment.
Our goal in math and science is to finish up our current skills/concepts before the break so that we can start something new upon return. This will also allow students to fully take a break from school (at least from math and science) to recharge. The trade off is that we will be working hard right up to the break!
This Tuesday, we will be jumping into our next unit: Fractions. This will an ongoing topic over the next five weeks as we relate fractions to decimals, percents, ratios and rates. This week the focus will be on reviewing fraction concepts from elementary school. This includes representing fractions and mixed numbers, comparing fractions, writing equivalent fractions and adding/subtracting fraction with the same denominators.
In science, we have been reviewing the properties of solids, liquids and gases that students learned back in grade 5. We have focused specifically on particle configuration in these states as well as how temperature can impact the particles. Today in class, we discussed the particle theory and the students started working on a little poster to help reinforce the components of the particle theory. I also introduced a memory aid for the particle theory – ask your child if they know all the points of the theory!
This week we will continue to work towards learning this theory. Student groups will be working on a portion of a video on the Particle Theory and States of Matter. The cartoon they started today is due on Wednesday. Furthermore, filming of the video will be taking place during Wednesday's class.
Happy Family Day to everyone! I know that not everyone had this day off but hoping that at some point, families were able to reconnect. What gorgeous weather!
For those looking to book an interview with me (or another teacher), click HERE to book a time. Please contact the teacher directly if you are unable to make one of the times listed but would still like to meet.
This week, we will be focusing on finding the volume of regular prisms. Students will be writing a short check in to gauge their understanding. Bird feeder groups will also be putting together their feeders (all the wood is cut and ready to be assembled). I am hoping that by Friday, each feeder will be assembled, the group video will be completed and all materials will be ready for the auction.
We are starting a new unit this week – Pure Substances and Mixtures. Our focus this week will be on reviewing the states of matter as well as introducing the Particle Theory. I will be putting all resources on a Workspace for this unit. Find the workspace HERE.
This week is the final week of Term 1 as report cards are distributed Friday. In both math and science, we have been working on culminating tasks and I have been so impressed by the students and their work on these projects.
Also, a reminder that parents will be able to start booking interview times this coming Friday. To book, you need a google account as we have switching booking platforms.
Last week, groups finished their initial blueprints and created 3D models of their bird feeders. This prototype stage is essential in the design process as many groups realized that the were missing pieces, their sizing was off, or they wanted to make some other modifications before moving to the next stage.
This week, students will be finishing their prototypes and reflections as well as drawing their final draft of blueprints in preparation for the wood construction stage. Over Monday and Tuesday, I will be meeting with students individually to discuss the bird feeder, their contributions and the math behind their model. These conversations will make up the final assessment piece for the measurement strand on the Term 1 report.
Then, on Wednesdays, Thursday and Friday, we will be taking a break from the feeders to discuss surface area, volume and capacity and relate these terms to our project. On Friday, students will write an informal check in on the topics.
IMPORTANT: There are some students who have missed several of the final assessment in the Measurement strand. This includes the SWYK, the Geoboard Shapes Task, and the blueprint area calculations (as well as participation in the bird feeder project). As not enough evidence has been collected in order to accurately determine their understanding of the measurement concepts, they will be receiving an "I" (incomplete) on their report card for this final strand. I will be trying to gather as much data as possible on Monday and Tuesday of next week, but did want to give the heads up to students who have missed a lot of time in the last couple of weeks.
Last week, groups designed and started building their roller coasters. This project is difficult since the static and dynamic loads force their builder to ensure that all structures are stable. I was a little worried after the snow day that we wouldn't be able to finish but Mme Thomson (for 7-09) and Mme Graham (for 7-10) graciously gave up their period so that we could have some more time. 7-09 had a double building block on Friday in which almost every group finished their coaster. 7-10 will have a double block on Monday.
On Wednesday, those who did not get to present will do so as groups that finished early will be preparing a promotion video for their coaster – stay tuned!
This will bring us to the end of the Form and Function unit. Next up will be Pure Substances and Mixtures… get a peak at the topics HERE.

Work is underway for organizing "Traders' Alliance" between Pak-China
Meghna Rohera
December 07, 2022 (MLN): The work is underway for organizing the "Traders' Alliance" between the exporters and importers of China and Pakistan in order to share information and explore opportunities to improve their existing trade cooperation, commercial and economic Counsellor of the Peoples Republic of China Yang Guangyuan said.
Mr. Yang Guangyuan shared his views during a meeting at the Karachi Chamber of Commerce & Industry (KCCI) on Tuesday.
"More than 20 Chinese traders would like to join this traders' alliance which is being supported by several provincial governments and it would hopefully be supported by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce", he added.
He further added that this initiative will prove beneficial for the business communities and the economies of the two countries.
Commercial Counselor said that it was an interesting project which has recently been discussed by a think tank and various companies in China at an event organized recently to review how Chinese companies can go for Dhabeji SEZ and what can be established in this Zone.
To note, Dhabeji Special Economic Zones is situated near Karachi, Pakistan.
He said, "Trade and investment cooperation between China and Pakistan should be practical and pragmatic. There is a need to raise awareness about Pakistan amongst Chinese people as most of the business people do not know about the trade and investment opportunities here hence, we have a lot of work to do and I will be seriously focusing on this area."
He was of the view that in the first phase, the projects under China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) were mainly related to Government-to-Government (G2G) but now, it has entered the second phase which will be driven by Business-to-Business (B2B). "With joint efforts, we can certainly have a better future for Pakistani and Chinese friends", he added.
Earlier, President KCCI Tariq Yousuf, while seeking the Chinese Consulate's help in promoting trade, business, and economic activities between the two countries, said that it was a matter of grave concern that Pakistan's share in China's overall imports was less than 1 percent.
"With such low exports to China, we stand nowhere hence, we need to take concrete and positive steps to enhance our exports to China. We have to capture each other's markets which are really big in terms of population by developing strong business ties between the two countries", he added.
He opined that China's labor has become expensive now whereas Pakistan still offers a cheaper labor force hence, the business communities of the two countries must look into the possibility of undertaking joint ventures in Pakistan for manufacturing a wide range of products that can not only be exported but also supplied locally in the Pakistani market.
President KCCI requested the Commercial Counselor to form some kind of a committee or a club between the business communities of the two friendly countries for creating a win-win situation.
"The proposed committee would provide a perfect opportunity for us to learn from Chinese know-how in the manufacturing of various products including yarns, plastics, plastic resin, electronic chips, etc.
We have to do something positive and take practical steps by partnering with each other as there is tremendous scope for having more business relationships with China", he said, adding that although the two governments are constantly taking steps to improve relationships the entrepreneurs must also come forward and collaborate.
"It is my desire to make efforts for improving Pakistan's exports to China from the existing less than 1% to at least 3% which would be a great achievement but it is only possible through collective efforts", Tariq Yousuf said, "We want to transform our friendship into a real industrial partnership."

I know, I haven't been posting much lately. 5.5 upgrades got postponed due to the new storage platform needing my immediate attention and being a speaker at the Percona Live conference in April also needs a lot of attention.
Due to one of the machines being configured a little bit too close to the edge we had to restart it to downsize its innodb_buffer_pool_size a little bit. We tested the innodb_lru_dump_restore directive with this machine. Results were very promising: it wrote the dump every 5 minutes (we set the variable to 300 seconds) and after MySQL had restarted it reloaded the dump.
However: since MySQL is already started fully before it even starts to load the LRU dump it means MySQL is already available to the outside world. This means in a HA environment it would already be going to perform poorly due to the torrent of queries coming in. This means either the loading of the LRU dump needs to be done up front by a change in Percona Server or we need to alter MMM not to do anything with the server untill it has loaded the LRU dump.
A user on a linux user group mailing list asked about this, and I was one of the people replying. Re-posting here as I reckon it's of wider interest.

This month on Database Journal we talk about multi-master MySQL using circular replication to achieve high availability.
This is a Request for Input. Dual MySQL masters with MMM in a single datacentre are in common use, and other setups like DRBD and of course VM/SAN based failover solutions are conceptually straightforward also. Thus, achieving various forms of resilience within a single data-centre is doable and not costly.
Doing the same across multiple (let's for simplicity sake limit it to two) datacentres is another matter. MySQL replication works well across longer links, and it can use MySQL's in-built SSL or tools like stunnel. Of course it needs to be kept an eye on, as usual, but since it's asynchronous the latency between the datacentres is not a big issue (apart from the fact that the second server gets up-to-date a little bit later).
Walter and I are giving a tutorial on Monday morning, MySQL (and MariaDB) Dual Master Setups with MMM, I believe there are still some seats available – tutorials are a bit extra when you register for the conference, so you do need to sign up if you want to be there! It's a hands-on tutorial/workshop, we'll be setting up multiple clusters with dual master and the whole rest of the MMM fun, using VMs on your laptops and a separate wired network. Nothing beats messing with something live, breaking it, and seeing what happens!

Хекатей (, Hekataios; † между 323 и 309 пр.н.е.) е тиран на милетийската колония Кардия, която се намира в северния край на тракийския Херсонес (днес: Галиполи) през 4 век пр.н.е.

Управление
Той управлява по времето на Филип II и Александър Велики. През 350 пр.н.е. противникът му, бащата на младия Евмен, бяга от тирана на македонския двор, където Евмен се издига и става доверено лице на Александър.

Хекатей е верен васал и през 336 пр.н.е. Александър Македонски го изпраща да изключи неговия враг Атал в Мала Азия.

През есента 323 пр.н.е. той е изпратен в Мала Азия от Антипатър, за да повика намиращия се там по това време генерал Леонат с войските му в Европа, за боевете против Атина в Ламийската война. Той му занася и предложението за женитба на принцеса Клеопатра Македонска. Намиращия се там в свитата на Леонат генерал Евмен от Кардия се оттегля и не го придружава в Гърция от страх, да не го убие Антипатър по нараждане на Хекатай.

Кардия е разрушена през 309 пр.н.е. от Лизимах. Най-късно по това време Хекатей вероятно е вече мъртъв.

An increasing number of people are now living together without being married. This is known as "cohabiting" although the slightly misleading term of "Common Law Marriage" is also used. The law does not recognise Common Law Marriage and it has no legal status in itself. Cohabitees do have certain rights with regards to Land and Property and on the death of one of the parties. These rights are different and very limited from those of married couples.
These rights are different from those of married couples and are explained below.
If a property is jointly owned by cohabitees then a "Trust of Land" arises. In a dispute either co-owner could apply to the Courts for an Order for the property to be sold. However the Courts do have discretion to postpone such a sale if this is against the purpose for which the property was bought. If, for example, there are children involved then it may be that the sale will be postponed and the children thus permitted to continue to live in the property until they finish their education.
If the other cohabitee has paid for substantial improvements or acted to their detriment, (for example by giving up secure accommodation) and it was agreed between the parties that they had an interest in the property.
Each case is usually different and the merits of a claim will depend on the specific facts and are governed by the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996.
If a couple has been engaged but not married they can ask a Court to seek a Declaration as to the ownership of property which could include land, shares and cash. This is covered by the Married Women's Property Act 1882.
Sometimes a Pension Scheme allows cohabitees to make a claim if they are nominated as the beneficiary. However this will depend on the precise rules of the particular scheme. It is important to ensure that such nominations are kept up to date as a cohabitee would have considerable difficulty making any sort of claim if a former cohabitee or other person was still recorded as the nominated beneficiary.
If a cohabitee dies without leaving a Will then the estate is divided under the rules of Intestacy. The spouse or civil partner of the deceased cohabitee, even if estranged, receives the larger portion of the estate, depending on the amount and whether the deceased had children or siblings. Cohabitees do not benefit automatically under the Intestacy rules and it is therefore vital that a Will is made to protect both cohabitees and any children.
If a cohabitee had been living together with the deceased for at least two years up to the time of death and was living as if married to the deceased then a claim for financial provision can be made under the Inheritance (Provisions for Family and Dependants) Act 1975. However there is no guarantee of success in such a claim and it is best to draw up a proper Will to ensure that cohabitees are provided for on death.
The only real solutions at present are to marry, enter into a civil partnership or draw up a Cohabitation Agreement (also known as a Living Together Agreement). The agreement sets out who owns what and how those items are to be divided, including any assets acquired during the relationship, if the relationship breaks down.
Access Law can assist with Wills and Living Together Agreements.

Cape Cod Art / Annual Art 2018 / Art & Entertainment, Writer: John Greiner-Ferris
Little art, lot of heart
Artist Irene Lynch grew up on the beaches of Cape Cod. When she was 5 years old, her mother was taking her to the beach and told her how lucky she was that she could go to the beach whenever she wanted because some children's mothers only took them to the beach two weeks out of the year. Five-year-old Irene said those mothers are so mean.
When Lynch was considering changing her major from business to art, her mother also impressed on her that it was important to love what you do, and art was what she loved. Then, five weeks of studying painting in Florence, Italy awakened her to a world she never imagined. There, she was inspired by the street artists and was introduced to watercolors, and she loved how portable watercolors are: She could take them to the beach.
She could also take her sketchbook to work at a Cape Cod restaurant, and when things were slow she could sketch. Once, she accidentally left her sketchbook behind, and the next day her co-workers all wanted one of her drawings. "That's when I realized I could sell my work," she says. Lynch began selling her work at the Wellfleet Flea Market, Cottage Street Bakery and Knotty Anchor. She was amazed that people wanted to buy her paintings of what she thought of as typical, recognizable Cape Cod scenes, and that they gave them such joy. For example, there was the woman who bought a scene of the place where she told her husband she was pregnant with their second child.
At first she sold her original paintings, but later she learned to print them, making copies and setting a reasonable price. "I want my art to be affordable," she explains. She also does commissions of people's favorite Cape scenes. "It's fulfilling for me that people take home a little part of me," she says. "Every painting is how I saw the world that day through my eyes, what I thought was beautiful that day. "
Lynch's paintings are small—she sells her prints at 4" x 6" and 8" x 10". "Small works aren't intimidating," she says. Through her work, Lynch celebrates the Cape in her own small way. "I think I've found my place," she says.

Centre for Policy Alternatives on 8 January, 2013
Statement on judgements by Court of Appeal and Supreme Court on impeachment process of Chief Justice
Categories: DocumentsPress Releases
8 January 2013, Colombo, Sri Lanka: The Centre for Policy Alternatives (CPA) welcomes the judgment of the Court of Appeal quashing the decision of the majority of members of the Select Committee of Parliament delivered on 7th January 2011, and the determination of the Supreme Court issued last week in respect of the question of constitutional interpretation referred to it by the Court of Appeal. The determination of the Supreme Court held that the investigation and proof of charges brought against a judge in an impeachment motion must be exercised by a body established by an Act of Parliament, and not by one established by Standing Orders of Parliament. The Court further held that matters concerning the mode of proof, burden of proof and standard of proof relating to the charges in an impeachment motion must also be specified by legislation.
The Court's robust defence of the "immutable Republican principle of the independence of the judiciary," and its reiteration of the fundamental importance of the rule of law underpin its interpretive arguments. For this reason, the determination represents an important precedent for the supremacy of constitutional values over claims of parliamentary immunity. Moreover, by asserting the jurisdiction to review the legality of Standing Orders that affect the rights of citizens, the determination decisively rejects the notion that Parliament is supreme. The idea of parliamentary supremacy is as much colonial – being a feature of English constitutional law – as it is obsolete. The Court's determination, which emphasizes the sovereignty of the people and the supremacy of the constitution, is an important judicial reminder that the plausibility of constitutional arguments must be judged by reference to first principles of constitutionalism, and not inappropriate invocations of unconstitutional values and outdated doctrines.
Of more immediate relevance, given that questions over the legality of the impeachment process against the Chief Justice have now been settled definitively by the Supreme Court and Court of Appeal, it is imperative that all parties concerned comply with the law. Failure to do so will not only be in open contempt of court, but will also precipitate a dangerous constitutional crisis that the country can ill afford. In this respect, we are deeply concerned that the government has taken steps to hold a debate on the Resolution against the Chief Justice. We express our sincere hope that the rule of law will prevail, and that judicial determinations will be fully complied with.

yet another absinthe painting, this one i went more for the more whimsical approach i used for professor lambert. one of those paintings that i spent long tedious hours of joy on, then set aside for a few months before returning to it. in the end, i was pleased.
many years ago, i did this sketch of a monstrous abomination in the desert with his priest wandering around his environs. I envisioned it as being somewhat along the lines of the last thing seen by a hapless traveller in the wastes before he was torn to shreds. i had intended to make this part of the seneschal series, however when i ended up using this as a speed-painting experiment, i liked the result enough to keep it this way.
originally, this was going to be one of the red windows series, which can be seen on my facebook page. after i finished the initial sketch of it, however, i liked it enough to do it as yet another absinthe painting. the original idea was inspired by a mood i was in – sombre, melancholy, regretful and nostalgic. it was going to be a lot more involved and elaborate, but I opted to make it an exercise in saying as much as possible with as little as possible. so far, the reaction to this piece tells me i may just have succeeded.
this began as a homage to an online friend of mine, mr. david ingram, whom i interviewed for my art and absinthe blog. mr. ingram and his companion, igor (a zombie goldfish), host a rather engaging jazz/big band/swing podcast called lambert's basement, which i partake of with regularity (being a rather big fan of jazz).
this piece, while not a direct portrait of the two of them, was inspired by their interaction on the show. i managed to finish it just in time for both dave's 40-somethingth birthday and the 100th episode of the show.
ever since i first encountered them in an old hellraiser comic, the bird-like plague doctor has always been a fun image to me. i mean, really, what's more fun than a man dressed as a rather unnerving bird in the midst of the wailing of the pestilent and the dying?
while i do not credit all my well-being to absinthe, it does make life a little more bearable and who better to administer it to me (the figure is me back in my college days) than the plague doctor. absinthe is, after all, one of the cures for the plague of mediocrity, in my books.
sometimes you listen to a piece of music and the pen takes on a life of it's own. in this case, it was "from darkest skies" by my dying bride. i listened to the song in a cafe once, started sketching and before i knew it, i had an entire plot for a short film in my head. since i lack he ability at present to realize my story as an animated film, i will content myself with a graphic novel (keep your eyes open for it).
this is another of those pieces which has a slightly-steampunk flair to it, though only slight, as i wanted something with perhaps a bit more of a science-fiction/otherworldly mood to it.
curiously, it seems to be one of them ore popular pieces in my digital collection. it was the first to sell and the first to gain any real acclaim. i am certainly not complaining.
this idea, a wasteland inhabited solely by the dead, is one that strikes a few creative chords with me, given my fondness for classical horror and the dune series by frank herbert. and is one i'll be revisiting in both my proprætorian works and here.
i've always wanted to do more lovecraftian work. when i was in high school, just about every sketch i did was laden with tentacles and unnameable masses. recently, i decided to do some slightly-steampunk variants on a lovecraftian theme, and what better place to start than with the luminous author of the necronomicon, the mad arab abdhul alhazred.

A ceremony will unveil and dedicate a 10-foot tall bronze statue to the city honoring the story of the Rainbow Soldiers and will mark exactly 100 years since 3,677 guardsmen were selected to fight in German-occupied Europe.
The Screws family have been a part of the fabric of Montgomery for generations.
Col. Screws grew up in Montgomery and after the war lived near his grandchildren on Fairview Avenue where the trains could be seen rumbling by.
"We lived right behind him and he was a part of my everyday life," said McGowin,
McGowin, who was a senior at Lanier when Col. Screws died in 1955 at 80 years old, was named after Col. Screws' wife, her grandmother. The colonel doted on her every time he could, she said.
"If I couldn't get my mother or father to buy me something all I had to do was go to him and he get it for me," McGowin said. "If you wanted it, he made sure you got it. He thought money was mean to be spent."
Col. Screws fought in the Spanish-American War defending the Philippine Islands before he was called to command the men of the 4th Alabama National Guard. The guardsmen were selected with three other units who were federalized to become the famous 167th Infantry Regiment.
Col. Screws was well respected among his men.
One of those soldiers who had his respect was William Frazer, whose son, Nimrod "Rod" Frazer is the organizer of the ceremony and will be donating the bronze statue to the city.
Known for its rainbow-colored patch during World War I, the 167th or the 42nd Rainbow Division, is a story Frazer, who is also an author and historian, hopes will continue to live on.
"Douglas MacArthur, a major then, cherry-picked the best national guard units from coast to coast and put four regiments together from 26 states like a rainbow," Frazer said.
"The statue is a way to honor my father and those brave Alabamians."
The donated bronze is one way to help preserve that history and remember the 616 soldiers who died.
Frazer commissioned the famous British artist James Bulter to create the statue that depicts two men. A man in WWI military garb wearing a hat that covers his face looks down at a dead soldier in his arms.
Butler created the initial bronze statue of the one downtown that stands in a battlefield in France where 168 Alabamians of the Rainbow Division lost their lives, Frazer said.
It stands on the site of the battle of Croix Rouge Farm on July 26, 1918 — the second deadliest battle in history involving Alabamians. It is second only to the Battle of Gettysburg.
Frazer will join city leaders and several units from the Alabama National Guard and French representatives on Monday at the Montgomery unveiling.
