Got a few new bits of kit coming soon !
I have ordered a Suunto Core as my Techtrail has seen better days and has suffered from the typical strap failure.
It looks like a good bit of kit and even tells the time !
Also as its getting warmer (but not warm enough for the Big Agnes Pitchpine) I have ordered up a minimus from PHD with 900 down fill in it.
I opted for the short but wide bag to experiment with the shape as my 500 is standard and has a wee bit extra that I have to pull up to get my feet in to the foot section.
All I need now for them to arrive and then find the time to get out and see how they go !
When you go into Tiso in Glasgow you get the feeling that nothing really is moving forward in the Kit department.
It all is happening with the wee independents selling small amounts of great bits of kit.
Hopefully the economic climate wont put an end to these guys.
Its been a funny few days !
We were up north in Perthshire last week with a group from The Nautical College.
A really nice group to work with despite the weather and the snow on the hills !
It was all too good to be true and then we had hassles with the last morning just before the group was leaving thanks to a few drunk regulars invading the accommodation.
Usual you try and help a mate and it comes back and bites you in the arse.
So there was angry calls all round with me stuck in the middle whilst at the same time sitting in Tiso with PTC and Craig from Fast and Light.
This disrupted the Top Secret "Educate the masses with our beliefs" brainstorming meeting.
Then another mate dropped me in it by text, saying he had double booked and could not help me this weekend !
In the end it all came right as the numbers had dropped and I did not need him after all !
So a stress buster was called for and the Kilpatricks in the sun was in choice.
Not on foot but bikes, I say not on foot but Craig decided (his bike is bust ) that he would run with us !
We slogged up the hill finally giving up and having to push as a group of guys effortlessly passed us on bikes and then disappeared onto the bare hill.
We caught up with Craig at the top as the wind hammered us and cooled the sweat from the climb.
We passed loch Humphrey climbing the stile and pushed/ rode the muddy path till we hit he new one in the woods.
Still not finished it gave some challenging surfaces to ride on and Craig had to focus hard dancing from one rock to another.
We exited the trees to be greeted by an amazing skyline looking North passed Ben Lomond.
The fun bit was to come to the icing on the cake !
The down hill single track was truly smile stretching as we picked our way down the track thanking the inventor of full suspension as it soaks up all my bad lines and riding skills.
Craig amazingly was not that far behind and for a man that has just run 10 odd km's he was just smiling too much for my liking !
After terrorising some ladies out running we hit the tarmac and sped down the hill with the distinctive noise of knobbly tyres disappearing away on tarmac (sorry asphalt !).
After stopping at the petrol station for some healthy snacks, we headed back to the cars.
We all agreed it was a good way to wash away the woes of work and re balance the soul.
With the bank holiday and me not working for a change, Jules and I decided to boost for the weekend.
We settled on Arran and hastily booked accommodation finally finding a place in Lamlash called Oakbank Farm.
Next was the Ferry to be booked ! this turning out to be bad news as almost all crossings were booked only leaving the 7am crossing with space.
An alpine start was called for so the car was packed the night before and alarms set for 5am !
We woke to the sun just coming up and were on the road as the sun started coming right up.
It was a bit weird to be taking in the sunrise from the car and not from a tent or rock on a mountain.
We crossed over to Arran and checked into the accommodation and contemplated the plan of attack.
As usual the weather forecast was not great so we decided to take advantage of the present good weather and climb to the highest point on the island Goatfell.
We parked the car at the Brodick Country Park side of the hill and set off up the good track in the sun.
At 874 m and almost a sea level start its a fair hike in up the motorway of a path that snakes up the hill.
Once up on the main shoulder it gets a bit steeper and rockier.
Some of the rock formations are amazing.
A short pull up through the rocks rewarded us with a windy summit and a look back down the hill to see the snake of tourists coming up behind us.
The ridge from here to Beinn Tarsuinn looks impressive and tempting but Jules was feeling the climb and my knee was starting to get tender again from the Ben Lui trip.
We headed back down the hill in the sun and stopped off at the pub at the bottom for some late lunch.
We woke on Sunday to sunshine again.
We headed over to Brodick again and headed out on the bikes on some tracks which were badly signposted !
We ended up pushing up a narrow path next to an impressive wee gorge.
At one point I was trying to ride up the hill when the the back wheel spun in the grit, I came to a stop lost my balance and did not manage to get my foot out my clips as I fell of the edge of the path down into the gorge !
I managed to grab a bush and climbed out with my bike back onto the path to the amusement of Jules.
Finally we reached the big track that we could actually ride.
We were rewarded with a nice wee downhill section and stopped off to visit te Castle before heading back to Brodick.
The rain fell on Monday as we packed up for the ferry at a more friendly time.
All in all we were a wee bit disappointed with Arran.
It has the potential but it just isnt there yet.
The food available in restaurants and bars is all very much the same from place to place and lacks true Scottish Fare.
Bike routes and paths are not well marked or displayed/advertised with the tourist board.
An old mate Callum lives on the island and runs Arran Adventure but I couldn't get a signal on my phone so missed his call.
I reckon getting him to act as a guide would be the way to get some good biking done on the island.
It was good to get away from work !


There's three ways to control permissions within Azure Automation. I learned about this from the Microsoft Azure Essentials Azure Automation book. It is a free Kindle book from Microsoft Press and is an easy read.
Use an Azure Automation credential asset.
Option 1 - (certs) this option is deprecated by Microsoft.
Option 2 - is the easier way that makes security really simple. It is not necessarily best if you want fine grained control of security within the Azure Automation resource. It will create two cert accounts (one account for AzureRm commands and one account for the deprecated Azure cmdlets). The password will never expire, but the account will have access to the full subscription.
Option 3 - is more complicated and the password will expire periodically but gives you finer levels of control (for example you can have multiple credential assets with different level of permissions to a given resource). Note: you can create a runbook that will reset the pw periodically so that the password management is automated and invisible to humans.
In the end, like all non-trival architectural decisions, you will need to decide which approach is best for you…none of them are a perfect silver bullet for every team type.


In a small complex of only 4. This spacious unit offers great value! Open plan in design flowing onto a good sized north facing balcony with some lake views, main with walk in robe, 2nd toilet, lock up garage with plenty of storage space and much more. Ideal northerly aspect to pick up on the sunshine & summer breezes, only metres away from the lakefront, buses and easy level stroll to the beach. Move today - tomorrow is too late!


OK guys, Spotify was mentioned a few times last couple of days so I was wondering. What's so great about it?
I registered for an account and now have seven days to try premium. I must say it's really nice to have this kind of service. I can listen to full albums before I decide to buy something, which I like.
But after this seven days, I fall back into a free account. Which means I can only listen to bands and artists in shuffle mode. And after 30 minutes I get advertisements. It's still okay, but when an artist has released twenty albums it can be a bit tiresome.
Also, some artists don't have that many albums on it. Biggest example for me is Neal Morse. So it seems there's a lot missing.
What do you think of it? Is it helping the artists? Or is it ruining the music industry? Is it worth the 10 euros per month? Or should I stick with the free account?
I also have a free account, for me it's also a way to hear (just released) albums and to decide if I will buy it or not. Don't know if it's temporarily, but the last two weeks I haven't heard commercials anymore. Indeed, some artist won't share music on Spotify. Some (Prog)streaming sites are linked to Spotify and I do use these a lot. I really like this way of discovering new albums and some artist's backcatalogues.
What do you mean by streaming sites that are linked to Spotify?
Ms 007 got Spotify Premium. (She's Swedish, lives in Malmö - remember?) Like it a lot. I can find pretty much all the stuff I'm interested in there, and as you guys say, one can test - and enjoy - music before buying cd's.
E.g. Allstreaming.nl. If you want to play an album, you are directed to Spotify. You must have an account to hear the album.
I think I'll try a premium account for one month (30 days for free). And if i like it, I'll extend.
Anyone with a premium account?
I found Cybion on YouTube. Seems to me that YouTube has pretty much everything, even very obscure stuff, some of the popular stuff even in several copies.

You've probably heard many times the story about the game Solitaire on Windows: derived from a game that is designed to help users switch to DOS GUI graphical interface, Solitaire unwittingly become one of the most popular games on the world.
You don't have to pay for Solitaire
Wes Cherry today - Solitaire Author
Solitaire is the game which included free with every copy of Microsoft's operating system (excluding a short break with Windows 8). According to journalist Josh Levin : " Although Solitaire is not much innovative and creative over the years , but it has completely changed the way we live and work . "
Solitaire has spurred the development of personal computers , demonstrates the growth of the Windows operating system and change the office culture permanently . In addition, the Solitaire has helped people overcome the boredom of working hours in the office or extended idle time on the flight .
We can say, Solitaire is the most popular and addictive game that game makers have ever created . Of course besides Solitaire , since version Windows 3.0 to Windows 10 , the game like Pinball , Minesweeper or pleasures Chess are also killing time entertainments which are extremely impressive, fascinated many generations of PC users.
The "Solitaire" included with every copy of Windows since version 3.0 of the operating system isn't actually solitaire. There's no such game. Instead, that's a term given to a whole family of card games which allow a single player to cut a deck and methodically work their way through by sorting them by colour and/or suit.
The card game most people associate with Windows and solitaire is but one of many variants of the game, in this case Solitaire Klondike. It was first included with Windows in 1990, with a deck of cards designed by, of all people, Susan Kare, who is perhaps best-known for having also designed the original (and still iconic) Apple Macintosh icon family.

Solitaire itself was coded by a Microsoft employee by the name of Wes Cherry. Even then, during the game's formative stages, Cherry knew the inherent potential (and dangers) for the game to become a workplace hit: he had originally coded a "boss key" into the game, which when pressed would instantly switch out the deck of cards with official-looking business, but Microsoft made him remove the feature before it was included with Windows 3.0.
One more thing that gamers and PC users already familiar with Windows but do not really know , it was the advent of Solitaire as well as a test , something to create a brand new experience for Windows users. At the time of both the Windows and the PC gaming are a totally new concept, Microsoft had to create something new helps users most comfortable, even if they are a casual gamer or an office worker want entertainment in their spare time.
And so Solitaire Game was born . A simple game that does not require high individual skills , instead just make players to think a little. But the mantle of bright graphics and content are familiar led Solitaire become extremely accessible in the eyes of those who use a computer for the first time, as they only need to hold the mouse to drag and drop the cards on the screen.
The reaction of Solitaire players when exposed to the game at the first time that is not surprising: They are extremely loved it.
Thankyou for reading. Wish you have a good time with many types of free online solitaire card game on world of Solitaire

Q: How to pass a Matlab vector variable to a MuPAD function? I want to use the stats::swGOFT function in MuPAD. I have a numerical vector called r. I used
feval(symengine, 'stats::swGOFT', r);

The error was

Error using mupadengine/feval (line 157)
  MuPAD error: Error: Some data are of invalid type.

So I tried a more direct way, which worked:
feval(symengine, 'stats::swGOFT', 1,2,3,4);

But this didn't work:
feval(symengine, 'stats::swGOFT', [1,2,3,4]);

My variable r is a 1146-by-1 double vector. Obviously I can't manually input all the numbers. So, how to pass the vector variable r to the MuPAD function stats::swGOFT?

A: MuPAD is not Matlab. From the current version documentation for stats::swGOFT, it appears that this function requires a list, as opposed to an array (what Matlab uses). Many MuPAD functions automatically coerce inputs to the desired format, but that doesn't seem to occur in this case. You have several options if you want to call this function from Matlab using numeric values – here's a simple one that will work for both floating point and symbolic numeric values:
r = randn(1146,1);
rStr = char(sym(r(:).'));
feval(symengine, 'stats::swGOFT', rStr(9:end-2))

This one should perform the string conversion more quickly for large datasets of floating point values using sprintf:
r = randn(1146,1);
rStr = ['[' sprintf('%.17g', r(1)) sprintf(',%.17g', r(2:end)) ']'];
feval(symengine, 'stats::swGOFT', rStr)

Since you're converting to a string yourself, you might as well convert the above to use evalin directly:
r = randn(1146,1);
rStr = [ sprintf('%.17g', r(1)) sprintf(',%.17g', r(2:end)) ];
evalin(symengine, ['stats::swGOFT([' rStr '])'])

BMW's win vindicates split from Williams
What must Frank Williams have thought when Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld gave BMW its first win and first one-two at the Canadian Grand Prix three weeks ago?
Since BMW left Williams in 2005 the Munich marque has grown in strength while progress at Williams has been painfully slow by comparison.
How did the two fall out?
BMW returned to F1 in 2000 as engine suppliers to Williams. They previously tasted championship glory in 1983, providing the turbo engine that powered Brabham's Nelson Piquet to the 1983 drivers' championship.
Their new partnership with Williams began well. Ralf Schumacher got the car on the podium in its first race at Melbourne, and ended the season fifth in the championship with Jenson Button eighth. The first wins came the next year: three for Schumacher, one for new team mate Juan Pablo Montoya.
But the team failed to deliver on its promise over the following years for several reasons. BMW's engines were reputed to be the fastest but Williams' cars proved either too conventional aerodynamically (2002) or too radical (2004).
Michelin's tyres usually struggled to keep pace with Bridgestone's and when they did, in 2003, they were abruptly and controversially forced to change their design. That arguably robbed Juan Pablo Montoya of Williams' best chance of winning a championship with BMW power.
A wholesale change to the driver line-up in 2005, bringing in Mark Webber and Nick Heidfeld, brought no further wins. BMW left at the end of the season, and took Heidfeld with them for good measure.
But it wasn't just the lack of success that frustrated BMW. The manufacturer wanted a deeper technological input than Williams were prepared to allow. When the opportunity arose to ourchase the Sauber team, complete with state-of-the-art wind tunnel, Mario Theissen pounced.
Williams stagnate, then recuperate
Williams were forced to use customer engines in 2006 for the first time since 1988. The V8 Cosworth proved poewrful but reliability from the car-engine package was dreadful and by the end of the season it had dropped off the pace as well.
Nico Rosberg shone at Bahrain but then seemed to go AWOL for the rest of the season. Webber looked competitive at Australia and Monaco but both those runs were thwarted by unreliability. The Australian left at the end of the year, ruing going against manager Flavio Briatore's advice when he joined the Grove team.
A fresh start with Toyota in 2007 brought the team a substantial improvement in reliability in exchange for sharing its gearbox technology with the Japanese team.
Williams made far better use of the Toyota engines than the factory team did in 2007, beating them by 33 points to 13. But so far this year they have shown only flashes of promise since their impressive form in testing and are eight points behind Toyota after the French Grand Prix.
BMW go from strength to strength
Having taken over Sauber, BMW began an expransion programme by ramping up staff numbers and installing a behemoth supercomputer named Albert 2.
It is this beast that runs BMW's Computational Fuid Dynamics research for development of aerodynamic components – and has produced some dramatic results. Its infamous 'tower wings' of 2006 were swiftly banned but the F1.08 has other ideas that rival teams are yet to replicate – like the 'horns' mounted on its front wing.
Theissen also turned his new broom on the driver line-up and brushed Jacques Villeneuve aside before the end of 2006, installing Kubica in his place.
Though it looked like a risky gamble on an unproven rookie at first the results have been impressive. Kubica was on the podium by his third race and was leading the championship before the French round.
BMW's faith they could achieve more without Williams has certainly been vindicated. But can Williams now get back on terms with their former engine suppliers?

In one word: No.
In insight, there are only two ways in that Williams could match BMW:
1 – Get full support of a manufacturer, like for instance, Toyota dropping it's fruitless project and get totally behind Williams with it's engines and let Williams do the rest. Which could not be such a great idea since Williams are not known for extracting the most of their package (I believe this year car real performance is yet to be seen). Also, Williams can't match the developping pace of other midfielders, never mind the front runners (which, as Renault proved in 2005 and 2006, can be done without large sums of cash).
2 – Get a fresh new idea that puts their cars miles ahead of everyone, just like in the years that they won the championship. Which with these current set of rules, alergic to new ideas, ain't gonna happen.
I've always wondered if these new regulations that we'll get in 2009 will actually help Williams to improve as it's going a bit back towards the old days with the aero restrictions and slick tyres.
Yes , BMW are on the up , but the same cannot be said of Williams , who seem to do well in winter tests therefore start the season off well , but then slowly fade during the year , as they seem to be doing now – or is it that the better funded teams just develop quicker during the year ?
Hopefully with next years regulations we'll see more teams challanging the top two.
It'd be nice if Williams could be one of them.
I started disliking Williams when they started blocking customer cars only when they would be a chance that they could beat Williams.
As for people saying it's a lack of funding. They weren't exactly lighting the world on fire with BMW. It's just a convenient excuse.
Robert McKay
There's an interesting moral dilemma in there: how much control of your team do you cede for success?
Compare Frank Williams and Peter Sauber. Sauber realised that the only way to take on the big guns at their own game was to give them free reign. He could have stuck it out with semi-manufacturer status with Ferrari's help, fight it out in the midfield without ever being a real threat, but at least you're doing it your way.
Frank tried the same, for a bit, and clearly reached the level of manufacturer influence that he felt comfortable with, and allowed no more. But that wasn't enough to really move them to the front: all the elements from the two separate "arms", if you like, never came togther at the right time.
Of course, the one major difference is that Frank had already tasted success, and lots of it, on his own, so probably wasn't missing anything if he didn't get any more and could thus afford to keep doing things hs way. Sauber of course, hadn't, and that was his one shot of getting it.
@Robert
That makes Frank Williams a really selfish guy doesn't it? Him preventing his young drivers from possible wins just because he has tasted success in the past and wants everything his way.

I wonder how much Patrick Head had to do with the dysfunctional relationship with BMW? Alex Zanardi painted an un-flattering picture of him in his book. How much technical input does Patrick Head still have?
Arnet
Internet,
Frank Williams and Patrick Head are not in F1 to make young drivers happy. They have always been pure racers, and won their last back to back championships in '96 and '97. To suggest that they are selfish for not giving up their independence is to suggest that F1 should be a manufacturers only sport, so that drivers will have a better chance. It's not just about the drivers, and the day that the state of this sport forces the Williams team to sell out is the day I will have to take a good hard look at whether or not I want to keep watching.
Having said that, I am not criticizing Sauber for selling the team. But he never had a championship team and knew that he couldn't do it, while Williams had, and continue to strive to get into the top 3. The problem is, and has been for a while, money. More race wins means more sponsorship, and watch the talent go back to Frank and Patrick.
Journeyer
Well, I just think they're incompatible. Frank, Patrick, and Mario are all strong-willed people who are born to lead. I think Frank doesn't want a repeat of his scenario with Walter Wolf in the 70s. He sold his team to Wolf, and Wolf became a huge success for a while, but Frank realized it wasn't the right thing to do. For him, it was like getting success but only by selling your soul. And he doesn't want any of that anymore.
I don't see a big difference between a manufacturer run team or a private one , provided the team structure , usually influenced by the team principal , has the knowledge and passion for F1 , which Sir Frank no doubt has. Then comes the funding aspect , which in modern F1 is essential to have a suffciently large budget to maintain pace with development and technology.BMW are having reasonable success this year , and appear still on the up , while Renault have been great for 2 years , but have slumped back in the last 2 years. Toyota have struggled , especially considering the funding of that team , while Honda have been a disaster in F1 terms. Nick Fry , with all due respects to him , I believe knew less about F1 than average "Joe Soap" in the street , and maybe has even less passion for it , but he is catching on now (appointment of Ross Brawn) . Perhaps he should give up his job to Sir Frank in favour of a permanent return to the Honda Board Rooms , and Williams Honda could be born.
Oh I certainly don't think it's selfish of Frank and my post wasn't intended to be a criticism of either Frank or Peter's approach. What I was really trying to say was that the middle ground Williams tried to operate with with BMW is the hardest and the least likely to work. Either continue to go it alone or accept full buyout. Trying to juggle your team with a separate team, both of whom resents the level of control/influence the other has on the team fortunes, is not a recipe for long term goodwill. I'm not saying it can't be made to work, but it's very hard to.

"That arguably robbed Juan Pablo Montoya of Williams' best chance of winning an engine with BMW power."
dont you mean championship?? lol
i dont see private teams having anymore success to be honest, the only way to win now is to have major backing financially. its true with other sports, take footabll and the english premiership for example, the "BIG FOUR" as theyre called, Man utd, chelsea, liverrpool, arsenal are all owned/backed by billionaires, theres such a huge gulf between them and the other teams.
its a similar story in formula 1 now.
I agree with Robert McKay. But I would add that we don't know the whole story between Williams and BMW. What we DO know is that technology was shared between the two and it reached a crisis point as stated earlier. Williams got the benefit of ultra-powerful BMW engines for a few years, while Patrick Head has already said something along the lines of "BMW took our gearbox and naffed off", which suggests that this may have been Dr. Mario's plan all along – join forces with an experienced (and recently successful) team, get the jist of the game, then go and start your own team with existing structure. Smart move, and probably perfect timing. Certainly a wiser move than anything associated with the current Toyota and (in particular) Nick Fry led Honda outfits. BMW have thus far made all the right moves (including both drivers imo).
On a cautionary note however, lets just remind ourselves for a second that BMW have only achieved their first win after 3 seasons (I'm pretty sure a feat bettered by Williams GPE themselves)- not a Championship. With new regs next year, a Championship in either form is by no means guaranteed – see Honda (B.A.R) circa 2004.
Frank and Pat, hold your heads high and go down with the ship if you have to. I'm sick of trying to remember who Red Bull, Honda, Renault, Force India and Toro Rosso used to be.
Toby, it IS a shame that we've lost Stewart, Tyrrell, Benetton, Jordan, and Minardi. But I think these teams still provide good competition (albeit inconsistently), and that can't be a bad thing.
As for BMW, I think they'll cope well with 2009. Although they've had a reorg lately, it seems to be well-planned and well-executed. And their methodical methods will continue paying off. I'm sure Dr. Mario saw 2009 coming a long time ago, and planned for it accordingly.
Of course, when I say these teams, I mean the current reincarnations of the teams I just mentioned.
Diacho
Toby, I agree with you wholeheartedly. Let's not forget that when BMW joined Williams, they were winning in 1 year, not 3. And arguably, their drivers were less than stellar, with mediocre Ralf and nut job Montoya. In 2001(not sure) JPM was disqualified (or something) in a wet race in Indy, for a crash w/ Barrichello that effectively put the WDC in MS's hands. So, BMW still has a long, long way to go, while Williams could, indeed, bounce to the top very fast.
On another note, Robert mentioned that the middle way is the hardest way to go when it comes to manufacturer/team partnerships. Well, I don't know. McLaren has managed that with Mercedes, and they were the very first team on this kind of trend, back in 1995. My point of view is that all that's important is success. No matter how bad the relations between Theissen and Head/Williams were, had they been champions, I guess they would've stuck toghether…
F1 freak , thanks for the detailed insight on Nick Fry's CV – which supports what I've thought all along , that he is fairly highly educated , has served time in and excelled in some big corporate structures and basically done everything right , but it still does not make him a racer at heart , like Frank Williams. And the Honda teams poor results in the past few years compared to the vast funding , reflect just that.
May I say how good it is to read a blog full of informed, literate comments about F1 and without ill-tempered nationalistic abuse of Lewis Hamilton?
Jean – I feel the same about Fry. His CV is indeed impressive, but he is a career manager who has worked in marketing and sales. His CV doesn't appear to have any involvement in a racing organisation at all until 1999 if I am reading it correctly. There is the reason why Honda have failed to prosper under his reign. There is the reason why Honda have pinned their hopes on Ross Brawn – it leaves Fry free to concentrate on what he is best at and brings a proper, engineering and racing brain into the every day running of the team.

A place to talk about science
Scientists sit in their ivory towers, cut off from the outside world, on the way to find out what holds the world in its innermost folds. There, an alien language is spoken that differs dramatically between the fields and makes communication between the varieties of different towers almost impossible, not to mention to all other people.
On the same time designers try to connect the world with images, ever present in our life, on every product we buy, in all the advertisements we see. The power of graphic design has permeated our entire world.
However, scientific knowledge and new discoveries are no products to be sold, but a public good. Often scientists are even afraid to leave their towers, for fear that the scientific meaning gets lost through simplification. Even if in the meantime a lot of scientific knowledge is published under open source conditions, the alien language still prevents the majority to be able to understand the basic story.
Just today, in times of fake news and alternative facts, accessible scientific knowledge becomes even more essential to each of us. Knowledge is power. In a free world this power should be there for every individual to build up a personal opinion and distinguish between right and wrong for ourselves.
Connecting scientists and designers paves the way for a comprehensible language. Together they can create knowledge for everybody without losing the accuracy of the scientific content.
Of course, this is not a simple task, but it is definitely worth to try. Therefore, we are reaching out to build a network of designers, scientists and journalists. Let us start to give the power of knowledge to everybody with the power of design and science.

A variety of non-instructional roles currently are performed by paraprofessionals in schools today. Under federal legislation, schools must ensure that all children with disabilities have available to them a free appropriate public education that emphasizes special education and related services designed to meet their unique needs and prepare them for further education, employment, and independent living.
Related services may include health-care services, therapies, or psychological services according to the individual needs of students. These non-instructional roles have federal and state regulations reflecting specific standards. This issue of the NASET's Working with Paraprofessionals in Your School addresses the unique aspects of supervising health assistants, paraprofessionals assisting with speech-language programs, and occupational and physical therapy assistants.
The human nervous system develops from a small, specialized plate of cells along the back of an embryo. Early in development, the edges of this plate begin to curl up toward each other, creating the neural tube-a narrow sheath that closes to form the brain and spinal cord of the embryo. As development progresses, the top of the tube becomes the brain and the remainder becomes the spinal cord. This process is usually complete by the 28th day of pregnancy. But if problems occur during this process, the result can be brain disorders called neural tube defects, including spina bifida. The focus of this NASET Q & A Corner will be to address frequently asked questions about spina bifida.
