Happy New Year from CTA! We are very excited about the start of 2011 and the opportunities it will bring. For example, this month we will begin our first ever Australian NMT Case-based Training Series. While we have run these Series for many years now, in 2011 we will host our first Series specifically designed and scheduled for Australian participants. In response to the increasing interest in our work from Australia, aided by Annette Jackson and Take Two, we will run this new Series at a convenient time and staff only Australian cases. There's still time to register for this series which begins January 14th. See below for more information if you are interested. Also, we are pleased to update you on the progress of our new Metric Tool and on our first NMT Partner Site to complete the full three-year Training Certification Program in our Neurosequential Model of Therapuetics. Congratulations to Sandhill Child Development Center who will participate in the final staffing of their program next month! 2011 has much in store. As always, stay in touch through our Newsletter and Facebook announcements on our most recent developments.
CTA is excited to see the beta-testing phase of our online metric tool near completion in the next 1-2 months. We appreciate all of the feedback we have received from our NMT Partner Sites and Individual Certification Participants as they have used the beta-version in training sessions. Their input has helped us improve the tool's navigation and functioning, and we plan to unveil the first public version early this spring.
The NMT Web-based Metric helps in a structured assessment of developmental history of adverse experiences, relational health and current brain-mediated functioning. The graphic representations allow a clinician, teacher, or parent to quickly visualize important aspects of a child's history and current status. The information is key in designing developmentally appropriate educational, enrichment and therapeutic experiences to help the child. Below is an example of a functional brain "map" produced by our metric tool. The top image (with the red squares) corresponds to a client (each box corresponds to brain functions mediated by a region/system in the brain; the color code is like a standard "stop light" - with red indicating significant problems). The bottom map is a comparative map for a "typical" same-aged child. Stay tuned for more information on the public launch of the metric tool soon.
CTA would like to recognize Sandhill Child Development Center in Las Lunes, New Mexico: In February, they will complete their final staffing and become the first NMT Partner Site to complete the full NMT training certification. The clinical, educational and administrative staff at Sandhill create a relationally-enriched, developmentally-informed setting for a range of positive healing experiences. The children and families served by Sandhill benefit from their hard work and sensitive approach. Through the leadership of CEO/President Linda Zimmerman, Sandhill has integrated NMT into their existing treatment approach; we have very much enjoyed this mutual learning experience. We are pleased to have this opportunity and look forward to ongoing work with them in the future. After finishing the full NMT training certification process, Sandhill will continue to work with the CTA as an NMT Center of Excellence and provide ongoing training and consultation activities for their community.
Winter 2011 Training Series - Our Winter 2011 NMT Case-Based Training Series began January 7th, but you can still register for LIVE Participation and receive a recording of the first session; or you can sign-up to receive RECORDINGS ONLY for all 10 sessions. Please see our registration page for more details.
This winter we are very pleased to offer an NMT Training Series especially for those of you in Australia. Co-sponsored by Take Two, Berry Street, this series will follow our usual case-based model and be conducted via the internet. However, these sessions will take place at NOON EST (MELBOURNE) - a new convenience for participants in this region of the world. The training sessions will also be recorded for more convenient viewing. This series is also open for participants outside of Australia.

ALBANY, N.Y. – University at Albany senior placekicker Ethan Stark and redshirt junior tailback Elijah Ibitokun-Hanks earned spots on Colonial Athletic Association All-Conference teams, which were announced Tuesday by the league.
Stark was named to the Second-Team Offense and Ibitokun-Hanks made the Third-Team offense.
Stark, a native of Erie, Pa., capped his career with a game-winning 48-yard field goal as time expired to beat No. 10 Stony Brook, 25-23, this past Saturday at Tom & Mary Casey Stadium.
It was Stark's 14th field goal of the season, just one shy of the program's all-time record. Stark, who was 14-of-17 on field goals and 20-for-22 on extra-point tries, also had made a 51-yard field goal against Morgan State on Sept. 15 that ranks as the third-longest in program history.
Stark handled all the kicking tasks for UAlbany this season. As a punter, he averaged 35.8 yards per kick, placed 11 punts inside the opponent's 20-yard line and had a long of 51-yards.
Ibitokun-Hanks, bouncing back off a year in which he redshirted because of injury, was UAlbany's leading rusher with 767 yards. The Newark, N.J., native averaged 4.8 yards per carry and 69.7 yards per game while rushing for four touchdowns.

Response to Victims' Commissioner's proposals to Government on the Victim's Law
Mark Burns-Williamson OBE, West Yorkshire's Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) said that he broadly agreed with the proposals outlined in Dame Vera Baird's policy paper submitted to Government and released today. (WED)
The paper contains 34 recommendations for inclusion in the Victims' Law. There are a number for PCCs and Mayors, including being given the statutory duty to monitor compliance with the Victims' Code at a local level, requiring them to include a section on details for providing victims' services in their future Police and Crime Plans and appointing a Victims' Champion within three months of being elected.
Mr Burns-Williamson said: "I recognise and welcome these proposals and will support them to be included in the Victims' Law, including those requiring local action that make the PCC's and Mayors accountable.
"In practice I have put victims at the heart of my Police and Crime Plan since I was elected in 2012. I have also lobbied for the Victims' Law introduction. Last February (2020) I launched the first West Yorkshire Victims' Strategy 'Supporting People Harmed by Crime' in Wakefield, with the support of Dame Vera, who I worked with closely when she was PCC for Northumbria, and now as the national Victims' Commissioner.
"We have made over £6m available to Victims' Services in the last year including Ministry of Justice (MoJ) Victims Funding, Covid Special funding, additional Independent Sexual Violence Adviser (ISVA) funding and our new Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC).
"As chair of the Local Criminal Justice Board (LCJB), made up of our criminal justice partners, I will be discussing these recommendations with them.
"This policy paper shows that support for victims needs to be a priority across the whole of government, and in a more co-ordinated way with all government departments truly working together including the health service.
"There isn't enough funding for victims services to meet the demand pressures, let alone the growing crises of delayed court cases and building backlogs after years of Government cuts and under investment across the Criminal Justice system, so this needs to be addressed at both a national and local level.
"The Revised Victims' Code launched last November with its 12 rights is an important step forward but it isn't enforceable unless it becomes law. I also supported PCC's monitoring the Code from the start, and support what Dame Vera proposes to ensure this happens, at both local and national level.
"However, this should only be the start to making sure that victims are no longer bystanders in the criminal justice system, but recognised as full participants. That is a crucial development which I believe could be a huge shift for how victims are seen and treated within the criminal justice system.
"Collectively, there needs to be a will to make sure their voices are heard, and I have been actively engaged with victims groups in West Yorkshire to take this journey forward.
"Mindful as we head towards devolution, PCCs and elected mayors including the West Yorkshire one, who will be elected in May, will need additional powers to hold the criminal justice system more to account starting at the Ministry Of Justice level to help facilitate these required and needed changes putting victims at the heart of the system."
West Yorkshire Police Deputy Chief Constable Russ Foster, said:
"As an organisation focused on providing a quality service and wherever possible achieving the best outcomes for victims', we naturally welcome any proposals which addresses the needs and rights of victims and which clearly sets out exactly what they can expect from the police, partners and the criminal justice system as a whole.
"Putting the victim first is at the heart of what we do at West Yorkshire Police and we work in partnership with other organisations and agencies to provide support and advice where victims need it the most.
"Victims need to be reassured that they will listened to and measures will be put in place to safeguard them and we will continue to work with the Police and Crime Commissioner and partners to make sure they receive a quality service."

naturally into the wooded setting with style and grace.
From the foundation to the final coat of paint, the construction team was meticulous. Don's skilled professionals cut no corners. We were impressed with the consistent superior quality of the work. The job supervisor communicated with us regularly, providing project updates and answering our questions. Every worker was extremely polite and respectful. We were very confident in their expertise.
Now that we are in our dream home, we appreciate even more Don Jason's commitment to quality. In addition, Don Jason Remodeling's warranty provides us with peace of mind and confidence. Having completed two projects with Don, we are extremely satisfied and recommend Don Jason Remodeling to anyone who is considering a remodeling project of their own.
As the new year approaches, we have been living in our new kitchen and great room for a few months now and we love it!
When we started this project people told us horror stories of remodeling projects, told us to be prepared for it to take 2 to 3 times longer than estimated, and that we would have headaches dealing with contractors, subcontractors and so on.
We can honestly say we did not encounter any of that.
It was a true pleasure working with you, Kurt, and Roy! Your vision for our addition was something we hadn't even considered, but we are totally thrilled with the outcome. You saved our deck and gave us everything on our wishlist!
We know from our first meeting with you that we wanted you to do our remodeling. You were upfront and honest and impressed us with your sincerity and knowledge.
Every step of the project you kept us informed. The attention to detail that you, Kurt, and Roy put into every aspect is astounding. The quality of the work done is phenomenal.
Kurt and Roy are so awesome! They are so friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Their insights, suggestions, and experience helped us make many of the decisions we had to during the process. You are all "family" to us.
Your 90 day timeline was on target! And while we were happy to have the project completed, we truly missed having you all here.
We have already, and will continue to recommend Don Jason Builders to others with utmost sincerity and happiness. You went above and beyond to make this experience wonderful for us.
Just a note to let you know how please we are with the remodeling of our back porch and how you turned into a beautiful new family room. We loved having our back porch, but realized that we didn't get to enjoy the beauty of nature year-round. Now we are able to enjoy the beauty that is around us in the comfort of our new room!
At the time that I had contacted you, I had been waiting two months for a quote from another remodeler. We have two family members that have used you to do their remodeling jobs and couldn't say enough about how wonderful their experience was and suggested that we give you a call. You met with us promptly and that same day had given us the first initial quote. We we impressed by how prompt you were in the design layout and how quick you were able to start the job.
We were so impressed by Brent, who worked on our room, and by all the sub-contractors. They were very professional and paid attention to even the smallest details.
This was the first time that we had any remodeling or work done on our house that was stress free. We feel that we received a quality room and found some new friends in the process! We look forward to using you on future projects.

Did This Rare Color-Plate Book Inspire the Six-Month Dental Check-Up?
"Poems and essays have been written by literary men upon the gout, and there are, of course, countless professional treatises on dentistry; but I have met with only one on toothache which can be called literary: The Tooth-Ache, imagined by Horace Mayhew and realised by George Cruikshank" (Notes and Queries, 10th Series, Aug. 15, 1908, p. 122).
Imagined and realized by Mayhew and Cruikshank in 1849, The Tooth-Ache, in panorama format, provided a panorama of dental torture that was excruciatingly funny - as long as you were the viewer and not the poor wretch suffering the tooth-ache and condemned to the the dentist's chair.
Those were the days when dentists had, essentially, one treatment for tooth-ache: yank the damned tooth out. Sir Humphry Davy had, as early as 1800, had been experimenting with nitrous oxide (laughing gas), which had been discovered in 1772 by Joseph Priestley. Davy understood that the anesthetic inebriant would be perfect for short, minor dental procedures; it wore off too fast for longer applications. Soon, dentists were using it.
"In 1844, a local dentist [in Hartford, CT], Horace Wells, tried the gas and made a fool of himself in some unspecified way, according to his wife" (Rob Hardy, M.D., reviewing Ether Day by Julie M.Fenster).
Nothing to laugh about, however, for some patients. In a series of London scandals c.1842, dentists and doctors were brought into court for taking advantage of female patients while they were under the influence.
The reputation of dentists was not good. Long before they became fodder for stand-up comedians, dentists were the object of scorn and complaint - and brutal satire. Enter The Tooth-Ache.
Who the heck was Horace Mayhew?
Horace Mayhew, (1816–1872), "had a lengthy career in journalism, serving as sub-editor of Punch with Douglas Jerrold and William Makepeace Thackeray and as editor of the Comic Almanac. In 1845 he was on the staff of contributors to George Cruikshank's Table Book, and was an early contributor to the Illustrated London News...His publications include the humorous sketches 'Change for a Shilling', 'Model Men', and 'Model Women and Children' (all 1848; published in 1872 in one volume entitled Wonderful People); 'Whom to Marry and How to Get Married' (1848); 'A Plate of Heads', with drawings by Gavarni (1849); 'The Toothache' (1849); 'Guy Faux' (1849); and 'Letters Left at the Pastry-Cook's' (1853). A good-natured man, Ponny (as he was called) is said to have been deeply hurt by harsh criticism of his work..."
"Mayhew was a handsome, captivating man—though reputedly the model for Sir John Tenniel's not-so-handsome white knight in the illustration for Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass. He was also a bon vivant and, according to Spielmann, 'scorned to seek repose before the milkman started on his rounds' (Spielmann, 328)" (Deborah Vlock, 'Mayhew, Horace' Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004).
He, apparently, scorned dental hygiene and dentists; this satire is hilariously savage on the subject. Of the great George Cruikshank, little need be added here beyond the fact that this book provides his characteristically sharp skewer with a tender target. It's achingly funny; Proust as Paula Poundstone, Remembrance of Root Canals Past.
The book has been suggested to be the foundation for the standard six-month dental check-up; one look at Cruikshank's engraved plates and the case for preventative dentistry is made. Yet,
"...Claims to the foundation of the 6-month check-up discussed on the dental public health mailing list are "The Tooth-ache" imagined by Horace Mayhew and illustrated by George Cruikshank and a toothpaste advert by Py-Co-Pay Inc. in the 1930s. None of which could be called evidence-based" (Richards, Derek. The Six-Month Dental Check. In Evidence-Based Dentistry).
Originally issued in plain and hand-colored state, OCLC/KVK report seventeen copies in institutional holdings worldwide, the majority of which are hand-colored, yet only two hand-colored copies have come to auction within the last thirty-five years, both of which have repairs of some sort. It's a genuine rarity, and an excellent inspirer of hilarity.
CRUIKSHANK, George. MAYHEW, Horace. The Tooth-Ache. Imagined by Horace Mayhew and Realized by George Cruikshank. [London]: To be Had, of D. Bogue 86 Fleet Str. And all Booksellers, n.d. [1849]. First edition, first issue (with adv. to inner boards). Twelvemo (4 7/8 x 3 7/16 in; 125 x 88 mm). Forty-three numbered hand-colored etchings on three sheets of twenty-four panels folding out to a continuous panorama (4 7/8 x 78 inches; 125 x 1982 mm.).

Richmond, VA: B. F. Johnson & Co., 1888. Presumed first edition of this "Companion Book to the Holy Bible." Includes 250 engravings after Alexander Bida and Gustave Dore, et al, 12 of which are in color. Bible stories are followed by a small section of "Golden Gems of Religious Thought," which include Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's "The Rainy Day"; a quote from George Washington headed, "The Brotherhood of Man"; and, most inexplicably, Edgar Allen Poe's "Annabel Lee." Good at best with binding quite worn, front free endpaper missing and with one of the color plates tattered but the rest still bright and only showing marginal wear.

Q: One-to-Many table relate viewed through ArcGIS Server I want to create a Table Relate with a one-to-many relationship between a layer and a non-spatial table based on a common field.
My question is, if I publish this data to ArcGIS Server, will an identify operation on that layer return all of the related values in the non-spatial table?
I want to try this, but I don't have sample data that meets these requirements (if anyone knows where I can find some, it would be very helpful).
Here is an example from ESRI of an Identify operation in ArcMap on two tables with a one-to-many relationship.  I need to know if the results in ArcGIS Server would be consistant.
I am using ArcGIS 10 and SQL Server 2008 R2.

A: Regarding your question about identify:  no, an identify wouldn't bring back the related records.
But you're in luck since you're using 10. You can now query via relationship classes through REST. You could use a RelationshipQuery to find your related records. Here's a JS API sample showing how this works:  Query related records

A: I'm not sure, but for a lot of methods there is a 500 row default limit, so if you have a feature related to more than 500 rows you might want to test for that.
Here's the Query Related records REST request.

Get out the atlas and start planning – road trip season is nearly here. Be sure to mark all the stops where you can enjoy the best food (i.e., the best pie, the best pizza, the best burgers in the country), and appreciate the historical significance those little towns and byways have.
While you're out there, don't breeze by the roadside attractions. Wyoming is filled with such draws as gun museums, tin man cowboys, and jackalopes. Somewhere along the way, set your GPS for the tiny town of Afton. It's the spot that boasts the best roadside attraction in the state.
Over on the west side of Wyoming, you'll find an enchanting little valley surrounded by forest-dotted mountains.
It's called Star Valley, and it's there you'll find the best roadside attraction in all of Wyoming.
This amazing sight is in Afton, the largest town in Star Valley.
...but it's the colossal arch across the main street entering town that put Afton on the map of roadside attractions.
The arch was built in 1958 using shed elk antlers collected by townspeople, a practice the locals still participate in to maintain the huge arch.
Over 3,000 elk antlers were woven together to form the arch, and there are two smaller arches flanking it on either side of the four-lane road it spans.
...to have their pictures taken with the fantastic exhibit.
It's been estimated that this epic arch is worth about $300,000, based on the price elk antler goes for in Asia.
Have you visited Afton? Did you have your picture taken near the antler arches?
If you're looking for more sights to see, here are 11 Bizarre, Wild, and Downright Weird Wyoming Attractions You Gotta See.

Review by Robin Solsjö Höglund
Star Wars: The Clone Wars 2008 ★★½
Robin Solsjö Höglund's review published on Letterboxd:
When it comes to Star Wars I'm a lifelong fan and I have seen pretty much all there is to see, down to the dreaded 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special. But there is only one part of the visual story I haven't delved into yet - the animated shows. To me they always felt like the "lesser" part of the overall puzzle if that makes sense. Inessential, not really canon in any major way that matters, and the animation looked pretty wonky too..well, I'm finally going to set my predetermined notions aside and check it all out: this animated movie, the seven season of The Clone Wars, the four seasons of Rebels and the most recent, short-lived Resistance show.
Set right after the events of Attack of the Clones, the Clone Wars are in full effect and Anakin and Obi-Wan are tasked with retrieving Jabba the Hutt's kidnapped...son (yes, really). On the way Anakin takes on a Padawan of his own, the young Ahsoka Tano, just as willful as he once was, and they have to face off with Count Dooku's own apprentice, Asajj Ventress.
This was perhaps not as terrible as I had feared, it's at times fairly decent as an animated Star Wars action adventure movie, but again, I still have this strange feeling of..was this really essential? When it comes to the movies I'll sit through them all and appreciate something about all of them: the originals, the special editions, the prequels, even the Disney movies. There is something about them all that clicks into place and forms a bigger narrative whole, but here we suddenly have..a Padawan teaching a Padawan? Conveniently we never heard about Ahsoka before or since - where was she during Revenge of the Sith? (I think the show eventually answers that toward the final part of the last season, and I think it basically boils down to "she was in different rooms than Anakin and Obi-Wan every single time, and they conveniently forgot to mention her!" Yeah right).
The animation is indeed a bit wonky. This was made 12 years ago, but I think it's just the overall style that doesn't click with me...it's like they weren't completely going for a realistic style but they didn't really go completely "animated" either so you are left with this very odd, clunky look and "fixed position" movement for everyone and it could've been a lot better. It works in telling the story but that's about it.
There are still some positives though, it wasn't too difficult to sit through overall. The story moves like a bullet, with plenty of action sequences to enjoy. Most characters have new voice actors but Samuel L. Jackson, Anthony Daniels and Christopher Lee returned to voice theirs at least. The music works well enough even though it isn't always going for a "John Williams feel".
On the whole this was almost exactly what I thought it would be: it is by no means horrendous but as of yet I just don't feel like this is even remotely "canon" to me. It feels like George milking the old cash cow for all it was worth, introducing sideplots and characters that weren't really necessary. Hopefully I will eat my words by the time I watch the full shows, as I understand they fill in a lot of "gaps" with memorable characters and storylines of their own, but so far it's probably the closest thing I've seen to something akin to Star Wars fan fiction. Decent enough at times but not much more than that. (And if you're about to comment "bUt rOBiN, tHe DIsNeY moVIeS wErE ThE reAL sLoPpY fAN fICtIoN!" you can save it, I've heard it all before and I don't care).

You are here: Home / Aquariums / SD Aquariums / SEA LIFE Aquarium / Jellyfish Discovery at SEA LIFE Aquarium / Painless Jellyfish Discovery At SEA LIFE Aquarium!
At opening, the exhibit featured five different species of jellyfish, displayed in six tanks, in over 1500 gallons of water. Some of the over 100 jellyfish on exhibit can be found in our local Southern California waters, others are native of far away lands. Species that the aquarium plans to rotate on display are Pacific Sea Nettles, Box Jelly, Blue Blubber Jelly, Moon Jelly, Lagoon Jellyfish, and Catostylus.
We really like the tall, cylindrical tanks, which make it easy to observe the jellyfish from different views. Many of the tanks have colorful rotating lights, which illuminate some of the practically translucent jellyfish. It's really pretty! The exhibit is set to music, which makes it almost seem as though the jellyfish are dancing to the rhythm.
There's a lot of information in the exhibit about jellies, including facts about their anatomy, and hands-on displays. It's nice that some of the interactive displays are at toddler height, so even the littlest learners can enjoy them.
Daily talks about jellyfish are given inside the exhibit. In our discussion we learned that vinegar is probably the best thing to place on a jellyfish sting to help relieve the pain. We also learned that they need light to produce algae in their skin to survive.
Jellyfish have no brain, heart, blood, or even nerves.
They've been on Earth for over 650 MILLION years, longer than dinosaurs or sharks!
They have sense organs which they use to detect light, smell, & other animals.
Their bodies are 95% water.
Most species pick up food, like plankton, with their feeding tentacles.
Some jellyfish eat other jellyfish.
They "paralyze their prey" with stinging cells called nematocysts.
They contract the part of their body called the "umbrella" to swim through the water.
Jellyfish Discovery is included with admission to SEA LIFE Aquarium, at the LEGOLAND California Resort. If visiting the aquarium for the first time, we recommend you take at least an hour and a half to enjoy all it has to offer. More information, including pricing, and hours of admission, can be found on the HERE. Perhaps we'll see you there!
Many thanks to SEA LIFE Aquarium for inviting us to the Jellyfish Discovery Preview Party. We always enjoy visiting the aquarium. As LEGOLAND passholders, we'll be back soon!


With the industry's value rising 7.9% in the last year to hit £10.1 billion in the UK, another 6,517 coffee shops are predicted to open in the next four years, according to the study.
According to the new research by the London Coffee Festival and Allegra World Coffee Portal, half of all bosses in the coffee sector are worried about Brexit.
Jeffrey Young, chief executive and founder of Allegra Events - which runs the festival - said: "Brits are a nation full of coffee lovers so it's fantastic to see the industry continue to grow at such an incredible rate, however, it's alarming that the number of baristas joining the profession does not match this growth.
"Being a barista is a brilliant job, requiring a great deal of knowledge and skill. I firmly believe it should be as well admired as sommeliers at top restaurants."

In implementing education reform initiatives, public schools and school systems must abide by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504) and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) which prohibit discrimination on the basis of disability. Section 504 prohibits recipients of federal funds from discriminating on the basis of disability. Title II of the ADA prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in state and local government services by state and local governmental entities, whether or not they receive federal funds. This includes public school districts. Virtually all public school systems receive federal funds, and public education is a government service. Both statutes require school districts to provide a free appropriate public education (FAPE) to students with disabilities protected by those laws.
Education reform initiatives, of course, vary from state to state, and sometimes from community to community. There is one kind of initiative, however, that is common nationwide. This approach, known as "standards-based" education reform, has four basic components. First, standards are set for what students should know and be able to do at various grades. Second, curricula are designed, guided by the standards. Third, based on the curricula, teachers design individual courses and instructional strategies, including the materials and methods best suited for their students. Fourth, students are assessed at different points in their school career to determine how well schools are doing at enabling them to meet the standards. The results of these assessments are then used to hold schools accountable for how well they are educating their students.
The theory behind standards-based education reform is that by setting high standards, shaping curriculum and instruction to meet them, and holding schools accountable for how well students meet the standards, educational quality will rise for all students. This PEER Information Brief examines how Section 504 and the ADA should work to ensure that students with disabilities enjoy the benefits of these reforms, and the quality education they aim for. It begins with a discussion of key concepts under Section 504 and the ADA (and the federal regulations implementing these laws), and then applies these concepts to the basic components of standards-based education reform: (1) standards; (2) curriculum; (3) individual courses, instructional strategies, and materials; and (4) assessment for school accountability.
* have the effect of defeating or impairing accomplishment of the objectives of the education program (or school reform initiative) in regard to students with disabilities.
In meeting the responsibilities to students with disabilities under Section 504 and Title II of the ADA, school systems must make accommodations and modifications to address the needs of students with disabilities. 5 Making accommodations and modifications means changing the way things are usually done in order to take into account a child's disability-related needs. Examples of accommodations and modifications include modifying rules, policies or practices; removing architectural or communication barriers; or providing aids, services, or assistive technology.
Standards in standards-based education reform define some of the outcomes of a quality education. The curriculum is then designed to reflect the standards and deliver that quality education. The goal of education reform is to make sure that students learn the curriculum which reflects the standards. Therefore, students with disabilities, like all other children, must be provided with courses and instruction that teach the curriculum. Otherwise, they will be denied comparable benefits and services, in violation of Section 504 and the ADA.
For some students, the method of teaching some or all of the curriculum may need to be modified, perhaps as a reasonable accommodation, or as a supplementary aid or service necessary for maximum feasible participation in regular education. For a small number of students who have significant disabilities, it may be necessary to modify, adapt, or expand the curriculum or instruction to provide access to the standards. These decisions must be made on an individual basis, and based upon valid and competent individualized educational evaluations.
Further, it is also discriminatory for school systems to adopt "criteria or methods of administration" (policies and practices) which limit opportunities for students with disabilities to learn the standards. To avoid such discrimination, school systems must identify and examine any policies or practices that may have the effect of limiting students' access to the courses and instruction necessary to learn the curriculum and meet the standards.
Depending upon the circumstances, any number of policies and practices might have this effect. Examples include lack of coordination (in terms of both scheduling and content) between pull-out programs, such as resource rooms, and the mainstream academic curriculum; providing a diluted curriculum in separate programs and classes for students with disabilities; and failing to integrate special education supports and related services into regular education classes.
Assessment is key to ensuring that school reform initiatives actually deliver quality education. The purpose of these assessments, often called "large-scale assessments," is to gather information that shows whether schools are successfully teaching students the standards. This information is then used to identify weaknesses in schools and to make necessary improvements. Assessment is the way that standards-based education reform holds schools accountable for student learning and achievement.
Historically, students with disabilities have been excluded from such assessments in large numbers. As a result, information about the achievement of these students is often missing when the effectiveness of school programs and services is evaluated and decisions about policies and reform initiatives are being made. With exclusion from assessment, schools are not held accountable for the quality of education students with disabilities receive. These students are denied the benefit of this critical aspect of standards-based education reform in violation of the requirement to provide comparable benefits and services under Section 504 and the ADA.
These civil rights laws require not only that students with disabilities take part in these accountability assessments, but that they receive any reasonable accommodations necessary to participate.
For many students, participation in assessment will not require any changes in the way that the assessment is given. Other students will require accommodations such as extra time for the assessment or materials in a different format (e.g., written materials in Braille, or a reader) in order to participate. A small number of students may require a different type of assessment (an "alternate assessment") to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in a nondiscriminatory manner. For example, some students may need a "hands-on" test using models rather than a pencil and paper test to show their understanding of geometry, and some students may require a portfolio assessment.

The Chuni and the Arc Line
The Sikh marriage is a very special ceremony in which two individuals are joined in a equal partnership. It is joyous and festive event which is very family orientated and informal in it's atmosphere. In the Sikh marriage ceremony, Guru Ram Das has given us a formula for a successful marriage in the form of four rounds 0r four concepts. In fact, he describes for us the sacred journey of the soul merging with the infinite. When applied to marriage it results in happiness and fulfillment.
Sikh Gurus define marriage as: "They are not husband and wife who only have physical contact; rather they are wife and husband who have one spirit in two bodies." The fourth Guru, Guru Ramdas Ji, originally composed Lavan, the wedding song, to celebrate a holy union between the human soul (Atma) and God (Parmatma).
The Sikh man and woman marry to help one another on the spiritual path, surely. Marriage is also a cozy haven of love and joy in this world. However, one's main support and mainstay is God and in one's ability to access that Source of Life. The gift to the Sikh is the Siri Guru Granth Sahib. Why does the couple circle the Siri Guru Granth Sahib as they commit to each round? It is not just a ritual. You are making a commitment with the Guru as witness. And as you circle the Siri Guru Granth Sahib you are reminded that the Guru is the center of your life, from which springs your life and the understanding of the journey of the soul crossing this world ocean. The Siri Guru Granth Sahib represents the core of you. The Sadh Sangat is your support system.
Sacred Sikh Wedding Ceremony
Anand Karaj, literally, "joyful ceremonial occasion or proceedings" is the name given to the Sikh marriage ceremony. For Sikhs, married status is the norm and the ideal; through it, according to their belief, come the best opportunities for serving God's purpose and the well being of humanity, and it affords the best means of fulfillment of individuality and attainment of bliss. Sikhism does not repudiate vows of celibacy, renunciation or the sannyasin state, but it does discourage it and advocates marital life as the best way of living.
The history of the Anand marriage ceremony is traced back to the time of Guru Amar Das (1479–1574), who composed the long 40-stanza hymn Anand Sahib, in the Ramkali measure, suitable to be sung or recited on all occasions of religious importance. His successor, Guru Ram Das, composed a four-stanza hymn, Lavan, which is recited and sung to solemnize nuptials. During the time of Maharaja Ranjit Singh and his successors, however, this ceremony fell into partial disuse under the renewed Brahmanical influence at court as well as in society.
The core of the Anand Karaj (the "blissful ceremony') is the laavan, wherein shabads (hymns) are sung with the bride and groom circumambulating the Guru Granth Sahib. The ceremony serves to provide the foundational principles towards a successful marriage and also places the marriage within the context of unity with God. Guru Ram Das Ji composed the four stanzas of Lavan to be sung and recited as the core of the Anand Karaj. In 1579, the fifth Guru, Guru Arjan Dev Ji and Mata Ganga were the first couple to be married through the Anand Karaj ceremony.
The laava phere (singular laav) are the four hymns of the Anand Karaj (Sikh wedding ceremony) which form the main part of this ceremony. The four hymns are from the Siri Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh holy scriptures and appear on Ang 773 to 774 of the total of 1430.
Guru Ram Das says on Ang 788 of the Siri Guru Granth Sahib of the meaning of marriage to a Sikh couple: "They are not said to be husband and wife who merely sit together. Rather they alone are called husband and wife, who have one soul in two bodies." The four laava give the Sikh couple spiritual guidance for their life ahead. The Guru tells of the four spiritual stages of married life and how the couple as a team have to first begin by following the path of righteousness and sinless-ness. Secondly to only have fear of the Lord and remove the ego from within the souls; then to remember and sing the Lord's name with the holy congregation. Finally, the couple will find divine peace; come to accept the Will of the Lord and find unending happiness in the Lord.
The Four Rounds (Laavan)
The main part of the Anand Karaj (Sikh Marriage Ceremony) is the reading and then the singing of each laav in turn. When the Laav is sung, the couple, joined by a piece of cloth, circle the Guru Granth Sahib. This has relevance to the occasion and should not be considered a ritual without meaning. When the couple circle the Guru Granth Sahib each time they are making a commitment to God with the Guru as their spiritual witness and support. And as one circles the Sri Guru Granth Sahib you are reminded that the Guru should be the center of your life, from which springs your spiritual leadership and understanding that you require for your soul's long journey across this 'world ocean'. The Sri Guru Granth Sahib is the spiritual center and the Sadh Sangat is your worldly (temporal) witness and support.
The four nuptial rounds were written by Guru Ram Das for his own wedding. They explain the journey of the souls toward the Almighty. In them he tells us of the duties that a person undertaking a life of marriage should perform. In the first round, the Guru asks the partners to:
Commit to righteousness.
Renounce sinful actions.
Remember, mediate and embrace Naam.
Only by good fortune, is real peace obtained and Lord seems sweet to the mind.
Worship the one Waheguru and all your sins will vanish.
In the second round, the Guru asks the partners to advance further towards meeting the True Guru – God:
The Lord leads you to meet the True Guru, the Primal Being – the enlightener
Have fear of fearless God and your ego will disappear
Sing God's praises and feel His presence before you.
God is everywhere, outside and within, sing in Joy
In the third round, the Guru says that the partners mind is filled with "Divine Love":
Meeting the Sadh Sangat (Holy Congregation)
Speak the Word of the Lord's Bani.
Which is only obtained by good fortune
Recite Gurbani and sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord
The Naam will vibrates and resounds within your heart
And you will know your future destiny.
In the final round, the Guru says that the partners mind become peaceful and they will have found the Lord:
God's Will seems sweet to these Gurmukhs.
You will lovingly focus your consciousness on the Lord, day and night
All your desires will be fulfilled
The Souls will blend with Waheguru and only Naam will occupy your heart.

Mý Cephei (μ Cep / μ Cephei) je červený veleobr nacházející se v souhvězdí Cefea. Tato hvězda se také někdy nazývá Herschelova granátová hvězda, tento název dostala od Williama Herschela pro svou červenou barvu. Jedná se o jednu z největších a nejzářivějších známých hvězd v naší Mléčné dráze. Povrchová teplota hvězdy je 3 500 K, proto má červenou barvu, a patří mezi polopravidelné proměnné hvězdy, je prototypem hvězd typu Mý Cephei. Hvězda má spektrální třídu M2Ia.

Okolo Mý Cephei obíhají dva relativně slabí průvodci, o kterých je v současné době málo známo. Mají zdánlivou hvězdnou velikost 12,3m a 12,7m a jsou pozorovatelní pouze dalekohledem. Mý Cephei B má spektrální třídu M0. Další informace o hmotnosti, jasnosti a poloměru jsou velmi nejisté, a byly získány pouze na základě odhadů a výsledků simulací.

Historie
Sytě červená barva Mý Cephei byl známá již Williamu Herschelovi, který ji popsal jako velmi jemnou hlubokou granátovou barvu, podobnou jako má proměnná hvězda Mira Ceti. Od této doby je známá jako Herschelova granátová hvězda. Mý Cephei byla pojmenována jako Garnet sidus ve hvězdném katalogu Giuseppe Piazio. Alternativní název, Erakis, který používá Antonín Bečvář ve hvězdném katalogu, pravděpodobně vznikl omylem záměnou s hvězdou s Alrakis, která se dříve nazývala al-Rāqis [arraːqis] v arabštině a nachází se poblíž v souhvězdí Draka.
V roce 1848 anglický astronom John Russell Hind zjistil, že jasnost Mý Cephei se mění. Tuto variabilitu se rychle potvrdil německý astronom Friedrich Wilhelm Argelander. Od roku 1881 jsou zachovány téměř kontinuální záznamy o proměnlivosti hvězdy.

Fyzikální vlastnosti

Mý Cephei je velmi jasný červený veleobr a je největší hvězdou, která je na obloze viditelná pouhým okem a je zároveň jednou z největších známých hvězd. Ze severní polokoule je nejlépe vidět mezi srpnem a lednem.

Mý Cephei se galaxií pohybuje velkou rychlostí 80,7±17,7 km/s. Vzdálenost Mý Cephei není dobře známá. Satelit Hipparcos změřil paralaxu 0,55±0,20 milliarcsekund, což odpovídá odhadované vzdálenosti 1 333 - 2 857 parseků. Nicméně hodnota měření se blíží k hranici okraji chyby. Určení vzdálenosti založené na srovnání velikosti s Betelgeuse poskytuje odhad 390 ± 140 parseků, takže je jasné, že Mý Cephei je buď mnohem větší než Betelgeuze nebo se nachází mnohem blíže (a je menší a méně jasná) než se očekávávalo.

Hvězda má přibližně 1000krát poloměr než Slunce, a na místě Sluneční soustavy by její okraj sahal až mezi oběžné dráhy Jupitera a Saturnu. Do objemu Mý Cephei by se vešla téměř 1 miliarda Sluncí.

Mý Cephei je proměnná hvězda a je prototypem třídy proměnných hvězd Mý Cephei. Její zdánlivá jasnost kolísá nepravidelně mezi hvězdnými velikostmi 3,62m a 5m v období 2 až 2,5 roku. Mý Cephei je vizuálně téměř stotisíckrát jasnější než Slunce, s absolutní hvězdnou velikostí -7,6m. Kombinace její absolutní viditelné jasnosti, jejího infračervené záření a spolu s se započtením absorpce záření v mezihvězdném prostředí (extinkcí) dává svítivost přibližně 350 000 větší než je svítivost Slunce (bolometrická hvězdná velikost -9,1m), což z ní činí jednu z nejzářivějších hvězd.

Mý Cephei je konci svého života. Začala v něm jaderná fúze helia na uhlík, zatímco hvězdách hlavní posloupnosti probíhá fúze vodíku na helium. Helium-uhlíkový cyklus ukazuje, že Mý Cephei je v poslední fázi svého života, a pravděpodobně exploduje jako supernova, i když to nemusí být nejbližších miliónech letech. Pokud se červený veleobr stane supernovou, je zničen, zanechá po sobě obrovské plynné mračno a malý, hustý pozůstatek, který pro hvězdu o hmotnosti Mý Cephei může být černá díra. Mý Cephei je v současné době nestabilní hvězda, ukazující nepravidelné kolísání světelného výkonu, teploty a velikosti.

Teplota fotosféry Mý Cephei se odhaduje na 3690±50 K. Může být obklopena vrstvou, který se rozkládá do vzdálenosti nejméně 0,33 násobku poloměru hvězdy a má teplotu 2055±25 K. Ve vnějším části vrstvy se vyskytují molekulární plyny, například CO, H2O a SiO.

Emise hvězdy naznačují přítomnost širokého prstence prachu a vody s vnějším okrajem čtyři poloměry hvězdy, tj. 2600 slunečních poloměrů a s vnitřním okrajem dvojnásobek poloměru hvězdy, tj. 1300 slunečních poloměrů. Umístěno v pozici našeho Slunce, její prstenec by se nacházel se rozpětí mezi 6 astronomickými jednotkami (oběžná dráha Jupitera) a 12 astronomickými jednotkami (oběžná dráha Saturnu).

Hvězda je obklopena kulovou vrstvou z vyvrhované hmoty, která se rozprostírá do úhlové vzdálenosti 6" od hvězdy a vzdaluje se od hvězdy s rychlostí 10 km s−1. Materiál se udrží kolem hvězdy přibližně 2000 až 3000 let. Blíže ke hvězdě vyvrhovaný materiál vykazuje výraznou asymetrii, která může být ve tvaru anuloidu. Hvězda v současné době ztrácí hmotu 10−7 hmotností Slunce za rok.

Q: Not displayed SVG elements I try generate <rect/> elements in my page:
<svg style="width:1920px; height:1080px;" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"></svg>

This code:
var w = $("svg").width();
var h = $("svg").height();
$(document).ready(function () {
    for (var i = 0; i < w; i += 30) {
        for (var j = 0; j < h; j += 30) {
            $("svg").append('<rect x=' + i + ' y=' + j + ' width="30px" height="30px" style="stroke: black; fill: none;" />');
        }
    }
});

And it does not displayed on page, but I see them in DOM in my console.

A: Apart from the problem felix pointed out, I think the problem is in the way jquery creates new DOM elements that do not work well with SVG (or namespaced elements), you can do it be setting the innerHTML of the SVG or something like:
$(document).ready(function () {
    var w = $("svg").width();
    var h = $("svg").height();
    var html = '';

    for (var i = 0; i < w; i += 30) {
        for (var j = 0; j < h; j += 30) {
            html += '<rect x=' + i + ' y=' + j + ' width="30px" height="30px" style="stroke: black; fill: none;" />';
        }
    }

    $("svg").html(html);
});

If you want to manipulate SVGs I'd recommend you look into something like d3.js that gives you a lot more tools to work with SVGs

A: Try to put your w anf h variable inside DOM ready handler:
$(document).ready(function () {
    var w = $("svg").width();
    var h = $("svg").height();
    for (var i = 0; i < w; i += 30) {
        for (var j = 0; j < h; j += 30) {
            $("svg").append('<rect x=' + i + ' y=' + j + ' width="30px" height="30px" style="stroke: black; fill: none;" />');
        }
    }
});


Predictive analytics allows Netflix to optimize its recommendations. This kind of clustering algorithm is continually improving suggestions, allowing users to make the most of their subscription.
In 2015, Google admitted it was using RankBrain, an AI system, to interpret a 'very large fraction' of search queries. RankBrain utilizes natural language processing (NLP) to help find relevance in content and queries, as well as better interpretation of voice search and user context (e.g. Google Now).
Knowing how a customer might get in touch and for what reason is obviously valuable information.
Not only does it allow for planning of resource (do we have enough people on the phones?) but also allows personalization of communications.
Analyzing thousands of factors allows the matching of broad patterns of customer behavior to those of individual members.
Plugging first- and third-party data into a clustering algorithm, then using the results in a CRM or customer experience system is a burgeoning use of machine learning.

Black Friday sales are sure to be plentiful this year, but buyers beware: Not every item is expected to be at its best price on Nov. 22. Dealnews.com says these are 8 things to avoid.
A great tip from DealNews is that retailers and restaurants frequently offer free gift cards with a minimum purchase during the winter holidays, which could be great stocking stuffers or gifts for family and friends.
Sales are great and all, but when purchasing a final sale item often the purchase cannot be returned. When purchasing a gift for the holidays, be sure to remember clothing may not fit or be worth the low price tag.
With the new year approaching, the best deals on fitness gear is more likely to go on sale in January rather than Black Friday.
DealNews suggests waiting until December to buy jewelry when more deals are available, jewelry rarely sees great Black Friday sales.
Holiday decorations are often cheaper after the holidays and are marked down for clearance. According to Deal News, Target has offered the greatest discount on holiday items.
The best time to purchase winter gear is in January when the discount price is at least 50 percent off.
Stick to the essentials this holiday season and only buy items you need. You can end up spending more money than you intended.
According to Deal News, furniture companies tend to release new products in February. Buyers should look out for big sales on discounted furniture in January. If you're looking to redo the flooring in your home and don't mind waiting until the new year, companies commonly have flooring deals in January and February.


Over the past few months, members of Operation Tackle That Bead Stash have been working on projects from Beaded Allure by Kelly Wiese. The book contains twenty-five projects, with detailed step-by-step instructions for ten beadweaving techniques - including bezelling and bead embroidery.
I cannot say enough good things about Beaded Allure. Though each of the patterns has been given a difficulty rating, the clear and detailed written instructions, accompanied by excellent photographs of each and every step needed to create each project, make each of the patterns incredibly easy to follow and this is a book that is more than suitable for beginners. It should be an essential!
I haven't had a lot of time to dedicate to beading over the last couple of months so all I have to show is a teeny, tiny pair of earrings - but they are ridiculously romantic! The motifs are an adaptation of the Charming Choker Necklace. Instead of working with 4mm Firepolished Beads and Czech Drops, I had a little rummage around in my bead stash and found some 4mm Round Pearls with matching Pearl Drops. Thankfully, the seed bead count works just as well with a 4mm Round!
I have 'bookmarked' several projects and cannot wait to start on The Cosmic Crystal Necklace as soon as I have gathered all of the components and I am eagerly anticipating Kelly's next book - A Beaded Romance.

Q: How do I load Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI in my main application file? I'm working on some large Catalyst codebase which doesn't have a seperate config file.  However, in the main module it does have things like:
__PACKAGE__->config(
    name => 'Example::Server',
    encoding => 'UTF-8',
    ...
);

So I was hoping I could just add the SmartURI config there, like this:
__PACKAGE__->config(
    name => 'Example::Server',
    encoding => 'UTF-8',
    'Plugin::SmartURI' => { 'disposition' => 'hostless' },
);

But it looks like that's not enough to load or enable it.
So, I'm obviously missing something, any help appreciated.
ps. The plugin + deps have been installed through CPAN.

A: Unless I'm mistaken you configure it like this:
__PACKAGE__->config(
    name        => 'Example::Server',
    encoding    => 'UTF-8',
    smarturi => {
        disposition => 'hostless',
    },
);

I had to look in the source code of the plugin

A: Answering my own question here, as I discovered the answer through other means.
To load the plugin, it needs to be passed to 'use Catalyst', or alternatively in the call to MyApp->setup ().

Hi, I'm trying to simulate composite materials, but I can't add the matrix. If i don't add the matrix the simulation won't be true. Did someone have the same problem? Does someone know how to resolve it?
In SOLIDWORKS, the composites values we can only type in one set of material data for each layer, and because the matrix and lamina material in the composite have differing material properties, defining the material properties of either on their own is insufficient, therefore we need to use their effective properties. There is a couple of ways to do this.
Ideally, you could obtain physical test data for the material properties that you require (Young's Modulus etc.). Obviously this is fairly extensive so may not be possible for you?
Fibre Volume Fraction (Vf) - This is defined as the ratio of the total volume of fibre material divided by the total volume of the lamina.
Matrix Volume Fraction (Vm) - This is defined as the ratio of the total volume of matrix material divided by the total volume of the lamina.

Der Psychothriller Dahmer aus dem Jahr 2002 erzählt die Biografie und "Karriere" des US-amerikanischen Serienmörders Jeffrey Dahmer.

Handlung

Die Handlung des Films beginnt in einer Schokoladenfabrik in Milwaukee, Wisconsin: Der junge weiße Jeffrey Dahmer führt ein unauffälliges Leben als Bandarbeiter. In seiner Freizeit hält er Ausschau nach jungen, meist homosexuellen Männern. Er spricht diese in Kaufhäusern, Bars, Kneipen und anderen öffentlichen Orten an und lädt sie zu sich nach Hause ein. Dort betäubt er sie mit Getränken. Zunächst fotografiert er sie, masturbiert anschließend und verübt an ihnen sadistische Experimente, bevor er sie ermordet. 17 Männer tötet er auf diese Art und Weise im Großraum von Milwaukee.
Gleichzeitig hinterfragt er jedoch seine Taten und entschuldigt sie mit der Scheidung seiner Eltern und der fehlenden Anerkennung aus seinem Elternhaus.

Erst als der junge Afroamerikaner Rodney aus der Wohnung Dahmers entkommen kann, gelingt es den Beamten, ihn zu verhaften.
Der Film schließt mit dem Hinweis, dass Jeffrey Dahmer 1994 von einem Mitinsassen ermordet wurde, nachdem er zwei Jahre seiner lebenslangen Haftstrafe abgesessen hatte.

Hintergrundinformationen

Mit gezielten Filmschnitten wird auch die Jugend Dahmers gezeigt, seine Beziehung zu seinen Eltern und versucht so zumindest Anhaltspunkte für sein späteres Handeln zu geben.

Obwohl das Drehbuch die tatsächlichen Ereignisse wiedergibt, sind die Namen der Opfer aus Persönlichkeitsrechten verändert worden. So hieß Rodney in Wahrheit Tracy Edwards, und Dahmers erstes Opfer nicht Lance Bell, sondern Steven Hicks.

Zu Tracy Edwards (im Film: Rodney) muss angemerkt werden, dass dieser in Wirklichkeit 32 Jahre alt war, im Film jedoch von einem 21-jährigen Schauspieler verkörpert wurde.

Gedreht wurde der Film in Los Angeles und an Originalschauplätzen in Milwaukee. Der Film, dessen Produktionskosten USD 250.000 betrugen, spielte nach zwei Vorstellungen – die Premiere fand am 21. Juni 2002 statt – USD 16.093 ein und kommt auf ein Gesamteinspielergebnis von USD 144.008.

Die Maskeneffekte kreierten Christien Tinsley und Kelley Mitchell, die zwei Jahre später, 2004, das Makeup zu Mel Gibsons Die Passion Christi lieferten.

Auszeichnungen
 Independent Spirit Award (Nominierung für Jeremy Renner als Bester Hauptdarsteller)
 Independent Spirit Award (Nominierung für Artel Kayàru als Bester Newcomer)

Holidays, gadgets, and numerous cups of coffee—to many, these are just some of the things on which millennials splurge. Sure, they may seem to unrestrainedly spend money on these things, but studies show that millennials are actually very careful about their financial future.
Studies reveal Filipino millennials are very careful about their financial future.
A study conducted by Nielsen Holdings, Inc. reported that millennials have learned to be more frugal than the generations before them, despite being exposed to more consumer-driven lifestyles. Despite their lavish-looking Instagram accounts, they are more likely to plan their spending than their parents and grandparents, the study says.
In addition to being always connected and digitally driven, millennials see themselves as young consumers focused on "buying" personal experiences rather than mere physical objects. As a generation that wants to be in control of what they experience, millennials are always planning, motivated by finding that singular adventure that fits their moods, interests, and personalities.
The search for singular experiences with family and friends is pronounced among Filipino millennials. They don't mind shelling out cash for that next out-of-town trip. In fact, according to a local study conducted by Google Trends in 2017, Filipino millennials are responsible for 52 percent of travel searches, 19 percent of which are attributed to searches on accommodations and attractions.
Filipino millennials also seem to take better care of themselves than any previous generation—high up on their list of necessities are purchases that have to do with self-care and their passions. Dining options, arts and entertainment, and hobbies and leisure also showed a 25 percent search growth driven by Filipino millennials, says the same Google Trends study.
Filipino millennials know that the flipside of going after unique experiences is financial capability and security.
"Not a lot of banks understand the young people's need to have the best of both worlds, but now that millennials are known to be more conscious about financial planning, we've made it a point for BPI to create personal relationships with them through Preferred Banking," said Joey Gotuaco, executive vice president of BPI's Retail Client Segment Group.
BPI Preferred Banking gives millennials the opportunity to enjoy themselves, and it empowers them to do the things they want most. Every client with BPI Preferred Banking gets a personalized experience—they are given their own relationship manager, numerous perks at different partner merchants and establishments, and a choice of their own scheme of luxury experiences.
