Q: Inplace transpose of 3D array in PyCuda I have a 3D array and would like to transpose its first two dimensions (x & y), but not the 3rd (z). On a 3D array A I want the same result as numpy's A.transpose((1,0,2)). Specifically, I want to get the "transposed" global threadIdx. The code below is supposed to write the transposed index at the untransposed location in 3D array A. It doesn't.
Any advice?
import numpy as np
from pycuda import compiler, gpuarray
import pycuda.driver as cuda
import pycuda.autoinit

kernel_code = """
__global__ void test_indexTranspose(uint*A){
    const size_t size_x = 4;
    const size_t size_y = 4;
    const size_t size_z = 3;

    // Thread position in each dimension
    const size_t tx = blockDim.x * blockIdx.x + threadIdx.x;
    const size_t ty = blockDim.y * blockIdx.y + threadIdx.y;
    const size_t tz = blockDim.z * blockIdx.z + threadIdx.z;

    if(tx < size_x && ty < size_y && tz < size_z){
        // Flat index
        const size_t ti = tz * size_x * size_y + ty * size_x + tx;
        // Transposed flat index
        const size_t tiT = tz * size_x * size_y + tx * size_x + ty;

A = np.zeros((4,4,3),dtype=np.uint32)

test_indexTranspose = mod.get_function('test_indexTranspose')
A_gpu = gpuarray.to_gpu(A)
test_indexTranspose(A_gpu, block=(2, 2, 1), grid=(2,2,3))

This is what is returned (not what I expected):
A_gpu.get()[:,:,0]

Thanks,

A: Creating the numpy array with strides that are consistent with the CUDA kernel code solves the problem. Default layout of a numpy array is not row, column, depth as my kernel assumes. However, the strides can be set when creating the array.
The above kernel works fine if the array is created like this:
nRows = 4
nCols = 4
nSlices = 3
nBytes = np.dtype(np.uint32).itemsize
A = np.ndarray(shape=(nRows, nCols, nSlices),
               dtype=np.uint32,
               strides=(nCols*nBytes, 1*nBytes, nCols*nRows*nBytes))

The strides are the jumps in memory consecutive indices need to take for each dimension in bytes. E.g. from the 1st element in row 1 to the 1st element in row 2 there are nCols * nBytes, i.e. 16 bytes.

The introduction of long term support (LTS) for versions of Node.js was a critical event that enabled the wide-spread adoption of the runtime, with up to 70% of developers seeing it as an important feature.
A large part of the value of the Node.js LTS policy is the clarity it gives to users on release schedules and the longevity with which a given version will be supported for critical fixes. Node.js applications, however, consist of significantly more that just the Node.js runtime. Even the most basic Express.js application contains 181 Node.js modules.
While some Node.js modules declare an LTS policy, there is little consistency in what that means, what releases are in LTS, and for how long. This means that users have to monitor and track the LTS policy of all of their individual dependencies and build complex update and migration plans in order to ensure that they are always in a position to receive critical fixes.
The approach laid out by the Node.js Module LTS Policy Project provides the level of visibility and consistency that users building production applications need. The project specifies a LTS policy that is based on the policy of Node.js itself. Node.js modules that choose to adopt the policy should provide fixes to LTS versions for the lifetime of the Node.js release it's being used with. Essentially, anyone creating an application using an LTS version of Node.js and using the latest major version of LTS adopting modules will not have to update any of those modules to a newer major version, which would include breaking changes, in order to receive essential fixes. This means that users can more easily plan to adopt fix updates and new major versions based on their regular development schedules.
At IBM, we think this is a crucial step forward. That's why we are adopting the Node.js Module LTS Policy across the modules and frameworks that IBM provides, including the LoopBack framework.
For more information on what the Node.js Module LTS Policy means for you, either as a user or a module owner looking to adopt an LTS policy, check out the Node.js Module LTS Policy project.


A murder of crows visits my backyard bird feeder. They're bullies, but they're fun to watch!
Our theme for the Weekly Photo Challenge this week is: Muse.
Our instructions: What subject keeps you coming back? This week, show us your muse.
If you've followed my blog or Instagram/Twitter/Facebook feeds for longer than about a week, you know birds are one of my favorite muses. I love to take pictures of birds. I'm not sure why, exactly. My grandfather loved birds. My father loves birds. Maybe it's in the genes? Whatever the reason, birds amuse me. They all have different personalities, and once in a while, I get lucky and capture a moment.
I have a murder of crows (I love that a group of crows is called a murder) that visit my bird feeder quite often. Honestly, crows are bully birds — when the crows swoop in, all the other birds head for the hills. And then the crows have the feeder (and the feed!) to themselves. And crows are always hungry. And greedy.
But, crows are also some of the smartest birds. And they're very difficult to photograph. If they detect even the slightest motion, they will take off. You have to be a stealth photographer to capture them.
I can't decide exactly what's going on in this photo, but it makes me laugh. If crows could talk, what would he be saying?
It does look like they're bickering, doesn't it? Cheers, Frank!!
How many times do I have to tell you to keep your feet off of the food?
Feet off the food! I love it . . . Cheers!!
Their close relative, Magpies, dominate the local feeders more than the crows in our neighborhood. The iridescent blues that shimmer in the light are so beautiful, but they are the only birds our cats hide from as they can be quite aggressive. Excellent shot, you must be a stealth photographer!
I haven't seen any magpies at my feeder. Maybe my murder of crows keeps them away?? I have, however, caught my neighbor's black cat at the top of my feeder!! That was a sight, let me tell you!
Thanks for the lovely compliment, Gale! Salud!!

Dmytro Volodymyrovych Gnap (, Dmytro Volodymyrovych Hnap; born 19 December 1977) is a Ukrainian journalist at Slidstvo.Info and Hromadske.TV. His work focuses on corruption and crime.

Biography
In 2014, he and other journalists collaborated to preserve documents found at the Mezhyhirya Residence after President Viktor Yanukovych fled Ukraine. Gnap won the main award at the 2015 Mezhyhirya Festival for his investigative work.

In April 2016, a libel lawsuit was filed against him by Oleksandr Korniyets, one of the Ukrainian top prosecutors dubbed the "diamond prosecutors", previously suspected of taking bribes in what has been described as a witch hunt against many Hromadske journalists launched by Petro Poroshenko's supporters.

On 25 June 2018, Gnap announced he was leaving journalism to start a political career. He said he would take part in the 2019 Ukrainian  parliamentary elections, and in primaries for a single liberal opposition candidate in the 2019 Ukrainian presidential election. He officially became a presidential candidate on February 8, 2019, nominated by the party Power of the People. Gnap continued to hosts his own political talk show "Right to the Truth" on "24 Channel". On 1 March he withdrew  his candidacy in favour of supporting fellow candidate Anatoliy Hrytsenko. The following day Power of People officially withdraw Gnap's candidacy. In the election Hrytsenko did not proceed to the second round of the election; in the first round he placed fifth with 6.91% of the votes.

Homepage News Karien J. Rodríguez: 2020 Early Career Award recipient
Karien J. Rodríguez: 2020 Early Career Award recipient
Karien J. Rodríguez (PhDBME '10)
Research technical strategist-life sciences, global research & engineering, Kimberly-Clark Corp.
Karien is a biomedical engineer who is shaping the personal care industry through her creative and innovative research.
My experience at UW-Madison set the trajectory for a fulfilling career, which today includes my favorite work yet, creating breakthrough skin health research for Kimberly-Clark and the iconic Huggies brand. My background is chemical engineering, so I completely switched programs to biomedical and I apply the skills I sharpened at UW-Madison daily. The program set a strong foundation for critical thinking and teamwork—which is so important because research is a team sport! Also, working in a research group with people from different backgrounds and experiences helped me to tap into the diversity within teams, which leads to richer solutions and outcomes. I was not only an individual researcher, but I worked with a lot of undergrads and became a leader within my research group, which highlighted the importance of creating a collaborative environment where all voices and points of view are valued. It's one of the lessons I continue to live by today.
Who has played the greatest role in your achievements?
I had several great mentors throughout my career, even starting with my undergrad. I had a professor at the University of Puerto Rico-Mayagüez who encouraged me to pursue graduate studies. It wasn't something that I was considering, but making that decision was life-changing. Another person who has been instrumental in my success has been my PhD advisor, Biomedical Engineering Professor Kristyn Masters. She's an amazing educator, researcher and encourager! The fact that she believed in me and my potential helped me become a stronger researcher. She also pushed me to improve my writing skills. Our relationship has continued to grow over the years, and we still stay connected. Lastly, having support from my family, especially my husband, has been extremely important for me.
What are among your best memories from your time at UW-Madison?
You can only imagine my first memories were about the cold! Coming from Puerto Rico, it certainly made an impression. But truly, not only did I meet many of my closest friends, but I developed long-lasting relationships with professors and mentors. My husband and I always reminisce about how much fun we had on campus, especially spending Friday afternoons at the Memorial Union Terrace, cheering for the Badgers, going hiking and camping, and just getting together with friends.
Any family members you'd like to mention?
My husband, Rafael; son, Lucas; daughter, Amalia; and mother, Ana, who have been instrumental in my success. I come from a very small town in Puerto Rico, and I could have never imagined being where I am today if it wasn't for my mom's support and for always pushing me to be better and believing in my potential. It inspires me as a mom to do my best every day because my children are watching!
Is there anything else you'd like to tell us?
As a Research Technical Strategist in Kimberly-Clark, I lead global research on healthy infant and adult skin. This position gives me a huge opportunity to impact the world through research and education, but also to follow my passion for developing talent, especially for underrepresented minorities in the scientific field. This is a passion that I discovered during my time at UW-Madison. I'm proud to have also served as chair of Kimberly-Clark's Latin American Network for Diversity Employee Resource Group, which exists to grow the professional and personal development of Hispanic employees. I also mentor junior scientists and strive to serve as an example for all the women and minorities who may not think it's possible to be in a role like mine or to pursue science. I'm honored to tell them anything is possible because I'm proof!

Original Shannon and Burpee negatives found in Times archive
March 30, 2020 March 30, 2020 charlesfoster3 Comments
Pic: William Field/Kemsley Newspapers/Times Newspapers
Back in January, Malcolm Peel kindly sent me a link to an interesting article in The Times which for a while was not behind a paywall. Sadly, it has now been removed from free-to-view, but if you have a subscription then you will still be able to see it.
The writer, Mark Barnes, has unearthed four original glass negatives and several prints in Times Newspapers photographic archives. These were some of a set of images taken by the photographer William "Billy" Field of several 106 Squadron crews on their return from a raid on Berlin. This was the operation in which Richard Dimbleby of the BBC flew in the squadron commanding officer Guy Gibson's aircraft. They took off in the late afternoon of Saturday 16 January 1943, returning in the small hours of the Sunday. Some of the airmen are not wearing their flying gear in the photographs and it is daylight, which suggests that the shots were taken later the same day
I have written about these images before, because they appeared in the Daily Express on Tuesday 19 January 1943. However, it would seem that photographer Billy Field must have been actually working for the Sunday Times, as the glass negatives are marked as belonging to "Kemsley Newspapers", the names of the wartime owners of this newspaper. Quite why the pictures appeared first in another newspaper remains a mystery. Indeed, Barnes doesn't say whether they ever appeared in the Sunday Times.
According to Barnes, three of the negatives are in good or reasonable condition but the fourth, of Shannon and his crew and shown at the top of this article, was badly damaged. Barnes has digitally repaired the image.
In his article, Barnes correctly identifies the first five correctly: (L-R) Sgt Wallace Herbert (bomb aimer), Sgt Cyril "Joe" Chamberlain (flight engineer), Sgt Arnold Pemberton (wireless operator), Flg Off David Shannon (pilot) and Flg Off Douglas McCulloch (mid-upper gunner). However it is now believed that the sixth man is Sgt John William Donald ("Don") Robin DFM RAAF, the rear gunner in "Jock" Cassels' crew, and that the seventh man is Flg Off Frank (not Dave) Whalley, the navigator.
Here is the restored photograph of Lewis Burpee and his crew:
Barnes correctly identifies these men who are (L-R): Sgt Gordon Brady (rear gunner), Sgt William ("Ginger") Long (mid-upper gunner), Sgt Guy ("Johnny") Pegler (flight engineer), Flt Sgt Lewis Burpee (pilot), Flt Sgt Edward Leavesley (wireless operator), and Sgt George Goodings (bomb aimer). Leavesley and Goodings both left the Burpee crew before it moved to 617 Squadron. This crew have simulated the "just finished an operation" look by wearing their flying boots and carrying various bits of kit. However, they aren't in either the flying jackets or one piece suits in which they would probably have been dressed for a high level attack on Berlin on a cold January night.
Although the images have been seen before, I don't believe that both the name of the photographer and the fact that the negatives still exist are well known, so we have Mark Barnes and his colleagues to thank for another small contribution to Dams Raid history.

Flg Off Basil Fish
March 5, 2020 March 30, 2020 charlesfoster4 Comments
Flt Sgt Basil Fish (top left) was the navigator in the crew of Arthur Joplin.
Back row (L-R): Fish, Flt Sgt Loftus Hebbard (bomb aimer), Sgt Frank Tilley (flight engineer), Flg Off Bob Yates (mid-upper gunner). Front row (L-R): Sgt Gordon Cooke (wireless operator), Flg Off Arthur Joplin (pilot), Sgt Norman Lambell (rear gunner). On 21 December 1944, the night the crew crashed after a raid on Politz, Hebbard and Lambell were replaced by Flt Lt Arthur Walker and Flt Sgt Jim Thompson. [Pic: 617 Squadron Association.]
I'm sorry to have to report the death on 26 February 2020 of Flg Off Basil Fish, one of the few remaining wartime members of 617 Squadron.
Charles Basil Renshaw Fish was born in Bury, Lancashire, in 1922. He went to Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School in Blackburn and then on to Manchester University to study engineering. He joined the university air squadron in 1941 and then decided to put his studies on hold for the war and volunteered for the RAF. He undertook part of his training in South Africa and qualified as a navigator in 1943. He then crewed up with a young pilot from New Zealand called Arthur Joplin.
The crew were trained first on the Short Stirling heavy bomber, but then moved across to the more versatile Lancaster. They were then astonished to find that their first operational posting was to 617 Squadron, based at Woodhall Spa. This was a special duties squadron and normally only took on experienced crews who had already survived a tour of 30 operations. However, as an experiment, some new crews who had demonstrated above average ability were posted directly to the Squadron.
They arrived on the Squadron in mid-August 1944, at first feeling rather overwhelmed. Their concern was unfounded since they were soon absorbed into the routine of extensive practice and training in order to achieve the precision for which the Squadron was renowned. It was a steep learning curve, but they found support and encouragement. The crew's first operation came on 27 August 1944, no easy "milk run" but a daylight attack against shipping in the heavily defended port at Brest.
Two more operations followed and then on 29 October the crew found itself on an operation to attack the Tirpitz, flying from Lossiemouth in Scotland. Although the battleship was damaged, it seemed from photo reconnaissance to be still afloat, and so a second operation was launched a fortnight later. On this occasion, Joplin's crew dropped their own bomb into the smoke and observed one direct hit and two near misses. The Tirpitz was seen to capsize later, before the force left the area.
Several more operations followed and then on 21 December 1944, the squadron mounted an attack on an oil refinery at Politz, near Stettin (Szczecin) in Poland. The outward flight was uneventful and the crew reached the designated area, but found that the target marking appeared haphazard. After releasing their Tallboy they headed for home, setting course for their designated diversionary base in Scotland, which would have not only the advantage of clear weather, but would also shorten the length of the flight. However, they were then ordered to return to Lincolnshire. As they crossed the coast it became apparent that Lincolnshire was still shrouded in fog and a further instruction was received for all aircraft to land at the first available airfield.
It seemed that Joplin, Fish and their colleagues were in luck, for very soon they saw a glow through the murk which was identified as Ludford Magna airfield. This was one of a small number of airfields equipped with FIDO – burning petrol to disperse fog on the runway approach to enable aircraft to land in such conditions. Joplin homed in on the glow and circled, calling up and asking permission to land. There was no reply. The crew were now in a perilous position as they were running out of fuel.
They needed to land as soon as possible and were also aware of the rising ground beneath. A few minutes later, the port wing brushed a hillside and they crashed. Joplin was trapped in his seat while Frank Tilley, the flight engineer, had broken a leg but managed to drag himself to safety.
Fish had been knocked unconscious but coming round he managed to rescue Joplin, who had broken both legs. The rear gunner, Jim Thompson, had survived but had fractured his spine and the wireless operator, Gordon Cooke, had a fractured skull. The other two – mid-upper gunner Bob Yates and bomb aimer Arthur Walker – were both dead.
Realising that he was the least injured and the only one of five survivors with any degree of mobility Fish set off across the fields in search of assistance, having briefed Tilley to listen out for a series of whistle blasts that would signal his return. It took nearly three hours for him to locate help and bring it to the crash site, but luckily the four others were able to recover.
Fish recovered well enough from his own injuries to be back flying by February 1945. Altogether he had flown on 24 operations by the end of the war, and had been commissioned. In early 1946 he applied for early release in order to complete his degree, and went back to Manchester University. He qualified as an engineer in 1947, and worked in industry until his retirement.
For many years, Basil Fish was an active member of the 617 Squadron Association but recently he had been living in a care home near Harrogate. In 2018, to mark the 74th anniversary of the sinking of the Tirpitz, members of the current 617 Squadron presented him with a commemorative photograph of their current aircraft.
The funeral will take place at 1340 on Monday 16 March at Harrogate Crematorium, Wetherby Road Harrogate HG3 1DE
[Thanks to Dr Robert Owen.]

Q: How can I create a row where One Side is Higher than the other
Hi guys how can I get a row to be higher on one side as seen below?
Thank you I'm really at a loss on how this can be done.

A: Simply use skewY()

div {
  /* margins for demnstration, not needed*/
  margin: 20px 0 0 20px;
  height: 150px;
  width: 200px;
  background: orange;
  transform: skewY(-10deg);
  border-radius: 25px;
}

If it has content

.wrapper {
  /* margins for demnstration, not needed*/
  margin: 50px 0 0 50px;
  background: orange;
  transform: skewY(-10deg);
  border-radius: 25px;
}

.wrapper>.main {
  transform: skewY(10deg);
}

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure
      dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

You'll still have to take a bit of care of the content, because the wrapper isn't a straight line anymore.

A: You could do that with a
 element and css.
css:
div{
  height: 500px;
  width: 400px;
  background-color: #fff;
  transform: rotate(-10deg);
  border: 1px solid #fff;
  border-radius: 25px;
}

You only have to use the transform: rotate property to rotate a
.

A: If you want only the top part to be like that you can consider pseudo element:

.box {
  width:400px;
  margin:50px;
  padding:10px;
  background:red;
  border-radius:0 0 10px 10px;
  position:relative;
  z-index:0;
}
.box:before {
  content:"";
  z-index:-1;
  position:absolute;
  top:-10px;
  left:0;
  right:0;
  bottom:0;
  border-radius:10px;
  transform-origin:top left;
  transform:skewY(-5deg);
  background:inherit;
}

We recently did a Truth or Fail on Sherlock Holmes (http://www.youtube.com/truthorfail) and one of the rounds was entitled "21st Century Sherlock" which inspired me to do this.
I'm just kinda devastated the Season 3 of Sherlock is so far away...it's just a terrible thing to do to a person.

A door, abhorred, he's bored, the hero of the Reichenbach
He's a 21st century Sherlock now now now
He's a sociopath
a high-functioning one
Not a psychopath
Oh, no, this is so much more fun
At 4am, you'll find him playing Bach
It's late, so late
I wait
Now hurry up, I wanna watch
'cause he's a 21st century Sherlock
yeah, he's a 21st century Sherlock
oh, he's a 21st century Sherlock, yeah
(end song)
Thanks to all of the people who made this video possible, Steven Moffat, Jim Morrison, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Benedict Cumberbatch, my mom, wouldn't happen without her!
promo's for John and Hank's other channels
I just noticed that this video was extraordinarily short, so I decided to put together a little promo of some of the other things that John and I are doing here on YouTube that you may be missing if you're not subscribed to those channels, and there are a bunch of them, like SciShow and CrashCourse and Lizzie Bennet and HankGames, doing quite well and it's pretty fun to watch and make, so, check it out.
(Michael Aranda's 'Blog Vrothers' plays in the background)
CrashCourse clip:
John: I'd argue that World War I helped make possible everything from the Simpsons to intentionally unattractive mustaches.
John from the past: Mr. Green, Mr. Green, are you referring to me?
John: Oh, me from the past, you're an embarrassment to your family, also, to all our other selves.
SciShow clip:
Hank: Organisms that contain the genetic information of more than one individual, and yes, this is a real thing!
Perhaps I could interest you in some drunk pigs.
Let's say you're walking down the street minding your own business, and you get in the face by an angry duck. Let's say that this is unusual for you and you don't know what's going on, just that you're being attacked by something.

Hankgames clip:
John: Ohh, it's a fantastic goal and it's from Basanta, he doesn't even have a song yet!
Our opponents squat in shame, sorry West Brom, but you just got Swoodilypooped.
Lizzie Bennet clip:
Lizzie: Bing definitely acted like he liked Jane.
George: Guess who?
Lizzie: Stop it and sit down, doofus.
George: No, wrong, it's George.
George: Ladies and gentlemen, the Bennet sisters.
Hank: From a biological perspective, we know what the meaning of life is, biology has answered that question, it's reproduction.
John: I guess that I am going to do the cinnamon challenge. (chokes) I regret doing that, to be honest with you.
Hank: John, thanks for helping me make a bunch of cool stuff, I'll see you on Tuesday.

The Fort Atkinson School District Board of Education is committed to the District's mission in serving the students and community of Fort Atkinson. With this continued commitment, and as announced on 2/6, the Board has unanimously appointed Dr. Robert Abbott as the new Superintendent for the School District of Fort Atkinson. In addition to Dr. Abbott's 23 years of administrative service, the Board is excited for the wealth of knowledge, community commitment and focus on achievement he brings to this important role.
Dr. Abbott has served as principal of Fort Atkinson Middle School prior to accepting the Interim-Superintendent role in October of 2019 and the Superintendent assignment in February of 2020.
"Dr. Abbott is a veteran educator in Fort Atkinson and has shown tremendous leadership throughout his time with the Fort Atkinson School District, and most recently, serving as Interim-Superintendent. The Board of Education is confident that Dr. Abbott will lead the District with a continued commitment to our District's mission," commented Mark Chaney, President of the Board of Education for the School District of Fort Atkinson.
Dr. Abbott graduated from Stevens Point Area Senior High School. After graduation, Dr. Abbott attended St. Cloud State University to complete his Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education with a minor in English and certifications in middle-level education. He then began his career in education as a middle school math and science teacher in the Tomorrow River School District. Dr. Abbott received his Master's Degree in educational leadership from Marian University in 1998. Dr. Abbott joined the School District of Fort Atkinson in 1997 as a Middle School Associate Principal. In 2000, Abbott accepted the principalship at Fort Atkinson Middle School and has led the school for twenty years.
Dr. Abbott received a Doctorate of educational leadership from Edgewood College in 2007.
Dr. Abbott holds administrative licensure as Superintendent, Director of Instruction, and Pre K-12 Principal as well as educator licensure for grades 1-8 and middle-level English 6-9.
In his 23 years of experience with the School District of Fort Atkinson, Dr. Abbott has been involved with and led many district-wide initiatives set in motion by the school district's strategic plan at all levels of the organization.
Education has been Dr. Abbott's family vocation for generations. Both Dr. Abbott's grandmothers taught in one-room schoolhouses in central Wisconsin, his mother worked for a district superintendent throughout her career, and his father was a life-long high school teacher and coach.
Dr. Abbott has led several key academic initiatives as Middle School principal such as increasing the school report card performance and established a strong focus on whole-child instruction to meet the unique needs of adolescent learners. Over the last several years, he has reworked the middle school schedule to allow for students to spend more time in English language arts and math, while maintaining adequate time for electives. In addition, Dr. Abbott implemented robust math and literacy intervention programs to assist middle school learners. In an effort to build connectivity between the middle school students and the community, he has designed programming and offered a variety of opportunities for students. One of Dr. Abbott's highly recognized academic accomplishments is leading the district team in securing the International Literacy Association Award for Exemplary Reading Program.
Dr. Abbott commented, "It is difficult to leave the Fort Atkinson Middle School; the middle school has literally been my family for better than two decades. We have done some incredible work and made some great strides in learning at FAMS over the years. I am extremely proud of the collective efforts of our FAMS team. While leaving the middle school will be hard, I look forward to continuing to serve the FAMS learning community as well as serving our other 5 building learning communities in a new way."
Dr. Abbott is not known for sitting still. Among other hobbies and interests he enjoys completing home projects, landscaping, cooking, travel, spending time with family, anything around water, his pets, and, when his joints will allow, running. An avid distance runner, Dr. Abbott has completed multiple marathons, many half-marathons, as well as several other races. While crossing the finish line is always an emotional rush, it's the hundreds of miles leading up to that moment where the real satisfaction lies. It is the culmination of planning, training, sacrifice, and endurance that leads to the successful completion of a goal. There could not possibly be a stronger parallel to that of educational leadership.
Dr. Abbott has lived in Fort Atkinson for his entire tenure and has two daughters who have attended Fort Atkinson public schools. Kate is completing graduate school at the University of Wisconsin in the area of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences. Quinn is a sophomore at Fort Atkinson High School, perhaps looking to a future in education.
"Serving the School District of Fort Atkinson for over 23 years has allowed me to truly "live" what makes our District great. My longevity in Fort Atkinson has been by choice. I believe we can build on our past to inform and serve our future; it is a privilege to have been asked to serve as the Superintendent of Schools in Fort Atkinson," Abbott explained.
When asked about the status of the District within this transition, Dr. Abbott shared, "Our District is positioned for some incredible growth. With the hopeful passage of our operating referendum in April, we will be on course to continue the work we have begun over the past few months. Since taking the interim role in October, we have not lost a beat. We are on track with our referendum, our Facilities Advisory Committee is on schedule, and we have moved to a much greater focus on school improvement plans." When asked about his vision for the District under his leadership, Dr. Abbott shared, "We have some incredible things happening in our District, we also have some improvements to make to fully realize our mission. In the future, we will be readjusting our District's strategic focus to be related specifically to student growth and achievement. Fort Atkinson cannot rest with simply being a good District; there is always more on the path to being great. We have some hard work to do, changes to make, retooling to consider, and community to build- all the things I am excited to lead.
Overall, Dr. Abbott concludes, "The best lies ahead for the School District of Fort Atkinson. We are One District, One Team, One Community and it is with immense pride that I have been asked to lead our District into its next chapter."

Advantages of the Inman Aligner system?
Disadvantages of the Inman Aligner?
Inman Aligners are a type of orthodontic appliance that can straighten or move your teeth to the desired position. Many dentists use the Inman Aligner as an alternative to the Invisalign invisible braces system. The Aligners are restricted to the level of movement that they can achieve and generally work better on misalignments of the upper and lower front teeth. They are not suitable for cases where the teeth are heavily crowded for example. After a consultation, your dentist will be able to determine if you are suitable for teeth straightening treatment with the Inman Aligner.
This case took just 3 months to complete with the Inman Aligner. Photos kindly donated by Dr Tif Qureshi.
Similar to the Invisalign system, the Inman Aligner is a removable appliance used to move the teeth over time. It relies on forces created by a coiled spring on the lingual side of the aligner (that on the inside or back of the teeth), and a bar that sits across the front of the teeth to "squeeze" the teeth into position by "pushing" and "pulling" them into position.
This case took just 8 weeks to complete with the Inman Aligner. Photos kindly donated by Dr Tif Qureshi.
You can expect to pay between £1250 and £2500 for this treatment.
