Tyler Knaub
TYLER KNAUB, 28 of Las Vegas, NV, passed away Wednesday, July 26, 2017 at Las Vegas, NV. Tyler was born March 11, 1989 in Aurora, Colorado to Scott and Jodie (Casavant) Knaub. He graduated from Ogallala High School with the class of 2007. Following 7 years of service Tyler received an honorable discharge, and made his home in Las Vegas, NV. Despite earning an impressive service record, the rigors of conflict left an indelible impression on Tyler. In the coming years he attended UNLV seeking a career in entertainment engineering. In 2012, Tyler's life took on new meaning, when he was blessed with a son, Nova Knaub. Despite the apparent trappings of success that he'd enjoyed throughout much of his life, Tyler struggled with the symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Deteriorating relationships and his struggle with PTSD ultimately resulted in a tragedy that has left family and friends in a state of despair and sorrow. The depth of this pain and loss can only be healed by the grace of Jesus. May His comfort be known and felt by all who are hurting. Tyler was preceded in death by his son, Nova; grandpa, Gary Knaub; 2 uncles, Spencer "Duke" Knaub & Casey "Rooster" Casavant; & brother-in-law, Tyrell Anderson.

Rhaeniel wrote: I know is that if I get the train there, I end up at Birmingham New Street station, which is near the Bull Ring. That's about as far as my knowledge of Brum goes!
Most trains going to Birmingham will be getting in to New Street, so this is an ideal place for people to meet if they're travelling in, either from outside the West Midlands area or within. Anyone local to Brum and its surrounding boonies will know of ways to get into town as the train and bus links are plentiful. As I recall one of the very first meets (from HH) met in New Street, so it'd be a spiritual return.
By the way, I wasn't suggesting that I would be attending this meet, only that I have good knowledge of the area and was willing to help if information on transport was needed. Considering who started this thread I'm not sure if I would be welcomed, but there's no point withholding transport information about my own city if I can give it.
so who's coming and when's best for everyone?
Oooh I'm up for this too, and I'd be bringing my boy.
Birmingham is a lot easier for me as I'm West Midlands, but I could get to Leiscester after working out the route.
Personally I'd like to do it in Leicester, as then I can actually organise it and meet everyone, give directions, etc.. so unless anyone has any massive objections, can I say it'll be in Leicester?
.. and once the weather warms up, I'm thinking! So, May?
I'm tempted to say that if it's Leicester turn out is likely to be much lower but it's up to the majority. What sort of time of year was this happening again?
I don't want to go to Leicester. It smells there.
Leicester's not as smelly as brummigeham!
I would love to come along for this but I'm not sure how possible that'll be! I'll keep reading incase I work out a way to join in with the midlands fun!
PLEASE CAN BE PUTTINGS VITAL INFORMATIONS ON THE FIRST PAGE OF THE THREAD, RHAE.
Hmm, I have a wedding that afternoon and (probably) derby practice on the morning. I wonder if I could swing by the meet in between?
I'm so sorry I didn't see this post! HEF stopped sending me emails a while ago and I didn't realise.. I just thought everyone was really quiet!
Also, I can't post on the forum from my phone, which is my main method of accessing the internet, cos it can't handle all the extra bits you can do in this chatbox... so I'm here today cos I'm on the laptop now, but I won't be able to post here much.. hence the facebook group.
I know not everyone uses fb, but this has actually turned into potentially quite a large gathering since I posted it there.. as mostly people don't bother checking this part of the forum for stuff, but pretty much everyone on fb checks their notifications if someone invites them to an event.
So yeah, I'll post the details here.. sorry about all this!
lurk lurk lurk POST! lurk lurk lurk..
Thank you for clarifying; I wasn't sure if that counted here, because I'm not buying or selling anything. Nevermind then, maybe next time .
you will have both of those by the meet date though!


Newly crowned 2004 Formula Dodge champion, Marco Andretti, seems on the fast track to live up to his family's legacy. But the perennial turmoil in USA's open-wheel scene might jeopardize it.
It's hard to believe this beardless kid in front of me is only 17. Sitting by a table of fruits under Skip Barber's large tent at Road America, Marco Andretti's attitude is so down-to-Earth, so unpretentious and mature, it's almost annoying. Though this certainly does not apply to everybody, I can only imagine what kind of over-the-top brat I would be at 17, if my granddad was one of racing's living legends, his son one of the most successful American open-wheel drivers of the 90's, and their combined annual income tax payments could buy small islands in South America.
I think of making a sarcastic remark about how the $100,000 purse paid to the series champion is probably what his father spends every time Tony Kanaan, Dario Franchitti or Dan Wheldon have a tête-à-tête with the IRL's concrete walls, but keep it to myself. Where exactly would that cool 100k be sparing Michael's bank account?
"Things are changing dramatically", Michael proceeds. "Only the strongest series will survive. And from the size of the crowd I see here at Road America, I can tell you it won't be Champ Car".
After they look together at the warm-up timesheets, Michael gives an unnecessary justification to have shown up this weekend: "Conquering this championship would be one of those things that stay forever with you." The optimism is well-founded, since the young Andretti only needs a second place to edge Florida's Gerardo Bonilla for the crown. "Going out there and keeping my nose clean" is Marco's strategy.
Of course, racing's a sport where nothing can ever be taken for granted. When the green flag drops, pole sitter Bonilla holds on to the lead, while third-place starter Andretti settles for second. That's how they go for five long Road America laps, until when, after a restart, Marco shockingly spins all by himself on the tricky turn five. For a precise 4.048 miles, it looks like Michael will have to pony up a thousand portraits of Franklin for next season. But then we are reminded that kids like Marco and Gerardo Bonilla are just that, kids, being asked to handle tons of pressure in an early stage of their lives.
On the same spot, on the immediately following lap, Bonilla goes off-course and gets stuck in the gravel trap, making the Andrettis' sorrow last for less than three minutes. Climbing to the pinnacles of racing is a game that demands talent and luck, and apparently, both were all over Alvise Andretti's genes when he made the long haul from Italy half a century ago.
Marco's title is secure, and so are his plans for next year, it seems. But what about '06 and on? Does he dream of making fairy-tale history by becoming the first American World Champion since his own grandfather?
Suddenly, this conversation is no longer about Marco Andretti's future. It's about what will happen to a sport that has been living its hardest years for almost a decade already. Michael brushes off my question with ease as he states his "vision" for American open-wheel racing: "Absolutely. The IRL will be road racing next year, and increasingly more in years to come." It is clear that he believes Tony George's league will eventually erode Champ Car's fan base as it begins to turn both sides.
The exact day when we might finally see a second Andretti face on the Borg-Warner trophy is not costing Marco any sleep, though: "Hey, I'm 17. There's no rush".


The notion of differentiation as a response to the issue of student diversity in the language classroom is now firmly established in English Language Teaching. Over the last few decades materials developers, teacher educators and teachers have developed a range of strategies and resources to ensure that no student loses out and that every learner is given the right level of challenge. And yet the same is not always true of teacher learning. This talk will explore why differentiation is as necessary for teacher learning as it is for student learning, and how teachers can be put in the driving seat of their own professional learning. It will present a number of evidence-informed approaches to teacher learning that offer the kinds of personalisation and choice that teachers need to become producers of context-relevant expertise.
How do you select literary works for your English language lessons? Regarding Personalised Learning and current discussions about student motivation, how do you select literary works for lessons that are relevant and engaging for all students? How do you make sure that the reasons for this selection are reflected in your teaching? In this talk I will address these questions by proposing a criterion for literary text selection to help you with your own literature curriculum.
In deze presentatie delen wij de resultaten van een promotieonderzoek waarbij is gekeken naar de toegevoegde waarde van grammatica-instructie bij het leren van een tweede taal in het voortgezet onderwijs. Naast de resultaten van het onderzoek komen de docenten aan het woord die lesgaven aan de klassen zonder grammatica-instructie.
Life in the 21st century is a life living in a global community. As such it's vital to not only enable students to communicate effectively but for them to have an understanding of that world. We need to teach students about other people, cultures and places of the world, but at the same time we also need to make it relevant to them, to make it personal. Enabling them to make connections between themselves and others is vital. We'll look at the theory and at practical ideas of how we can connect learners to the world through personalisation and bring the classroom to life.
How can you help your students to become better (public) speakers? One of the ways: by asking your students to use their own experiences. Another idea: by participating in a competition. In this workshop you will get some practical suggestions for activities, some related to the Cambridge exams.
3 Blended teaching: hoe combineer je offline en online leren?
Hoe combineer je offline en online leren? En wanneer biedt blended teaching ook echt meerwaarde? Veel docenten zoeken naar de ideale mix van offline en online tools in hun lessen. Tijdens deze sessie biedt Wendy van Krimpen je handige tips om de ideale mix te vinden tussen offline en online tools.
If you want your English lessons to be effective and engaging, your course materials should include authentic English, relevant contexts and credible situations. This interactive workshop will inspire you to tap into your students' world and create an atmosphere that's conducive to learning English.
Grammar is all around us, but often still seems to be reduced to rules and contextless exercises. In this talk I present images, sound files and videos and will point out how such samples of real English can be used to introduce, illustrate and generate a variety of grammatical items.
Isn't it time that we get rid of the old-fashioned tape recorder format listening tests? One of the assets of computer-based listening tests is that the test-taker can control the audio. I will show the effects on the test scores, the number of repetitions and the candidates' test-taking strategies.
Classrooms have become ever more multilingual over the years and there are a number of advantages to including the students' home languages. Multilingual activities can present another tool in the teacher's toolbox to reach a common aim: an introduction to and exploration of Shakespeare's plays.
8 Language assignments tailored to motivate diverse learners! Using tech!
Gepersonaliseerd leren, formatief evalueren en leermateriaal om te differentiëren. Wat doet dat met de rol van de docent? Verandert het leren of alleen de vorm van het leren? Aan bod komen de rol van leercoach, het vrijlaten van leerlingen en het voorkomen van digitale eenzaamheid van leerlingen.
The increasing diversities among students sets teachers many challenges when trying to meet their individual needs and interests. On the basis of a planning matrix developed for B2/C1/C2 level ESP courses at Dortmund Technical University, we will discuss how this can be adopted in your own courses.
As teachers, we need to better understand what drives the learning pathways of ourselves and of our students. Neuroscientific research can help, focusing on the interconnectivity of language learning. We will look at how we can use the brain's functions to enable a more engaging learning experience.
Teachers use tiered activities so that all students focus on essential understandings and skills but at different levels of complexity, abstractness, and open-endedness. By working with an example of tiered the possibilities of differentiation are explored.

Recent projects with UK clients, especially museums, have made our workshops even more varied, educational and interactive, enabling participants to access inspiring personal learning.
The rhetoric around personalised learning has focused primarily on learners. But what about the teacher? In this interactive talk, I will make a case for materials development as a potentially valuable tool for personalised CPD, and for considering recent research findings.
A class of learners will always contain a mixture of abilities, interests, motivations and learning styles. This highly interactive session will begin by looking at the nature of certain learner differences and what implications these create for fostering a successful learning experience.

How can we deal with students with very different degrees of competence? How can we help our students develop learning strategies? How can our materials foster social integration and diversity? How can we turn our students into critical thinkers? These and other issues will discussed.
We'll highlight some of the most commonly used resources for teacher development in English language teaching forming part of the Continuing Professional Development framework. And you'll find out more about three language exams in the Netherlands: Cambridge English Qualifications, IELTS and Aptis.
Are you teaching according to expectations, playing a stressful role? Or are you teaching from an authentic perspective, being yourself and more effective? We reflect on your music choices in order to pinpoint who you are. Is there harmony between inside self-image and outside perception?
Differentiated learning does not have to be rocket science. A very practical and uncomplicated approach to differentiated learning regarding vocabulary training and its effect on gifted students' satisfaction. Memrise (vocabulary tool) was used to set up the programme and will be introduced as well.
Tijdens deze workshop zal Natalie Schols docenten meenemen door een toets en item analyse van een examen en ze laten zien hoe ze deze informatie kunnen gebruiken om examenvoorbereiding (op maat) vorm te geven.
Alex deelt zijn verhalen en ervaringen uit de dagelijkse lespraktijk door middel van een les Engels om te laten zien hoe hij formatief evalueren, activerende didactiek en differentiatie inzet om tot meer gepersonaliseerd leren te komen (de nieuwe 7e editie van Stepping Stones is voorbeeldmateriaal).
At lower levels students are reluctant to speak, and well-designed activities are needed to help them build confidence and see their own achievement. We will try out activities for preparing and conducting speaking sessions to better understand how to implement the activities in the classroom.

Business | Wireless health care
M-powered
The convergence of mobile telephony and health care is under way
Nov 11th 2010 | WASHINGTON, DC
BILL GATES seems to relish being the skunk at the garden party. The former boss of Microsoft, now a global-health philanthropist, was invited to address a big "m-health" conference in Washington, DC, this week. Some 2,400 proponents of delivering health services over wireless telecoms, from the private and public sectors, gathered to celebrate the dozens of pilot projects under way around the world.
Mr Gates, however, warned the participants not to celebrate too soon. Just because an m-health pilot scheme appears to work in some remote locale, he insisted, don't "fool yourself" into thinking it really works unless it can be replicated at scale. Rafael Anta of the Inter-American Development Bank was even more cautious: "We know little about impact and nothing about business models."
Happily, evidence of m-health's usefulness is at last starting to trickle in. A study this week in the Lancet, a medical journal, shows that something as simple as sending text messages to remind Kenyan patients to take their HIV drugs properly improved adherence to the therapy by 12%. WellDoc, an American firm, found in a recent trial that an m-health scheme that relies on behavioural psychology to give diabetics advice on managing their ailment has more effect than putting them on the leading diabetes drug.
Another reason to think that m-health has a promising future is the flurry of business interest in it. One push comes from the rise of cloud computing (providing data storage and processing over the internet), which Peter Neupert of Microsoft argues will be "transformative" for wireless health. UltraLinq, an American start-up, uses the cloud to offer medical imaging on the software-as-a-service model. AT&T, a telecoms giant that already collects revenues of $4 billion a year from health care, has just created a division devoted to pursuing wireless health-care business using cloud computing.
A second shove will come from American policy, which will dispense more than $30 billion in subsidies over the next few years to encourage doctors and hospitals to adopt electronic medical records. This coming digitisation of America's disgracefully paper-based health system will, argues Todd Park of the Department of Health, inevitably boost m-health.
A further impetus is likely to be provided by ideas bubbling up from developing countries. Victoria Hausman of Dalberg, a development consultancy, has surveyed dozens of m-health business models in Haiti, India and Kenya in work for the World Bank. She predicts that mobile banking, which has already taken off in Kenya, will be a great enabler of m-health. Firms are coming up with ways for patients to pay doctors, receive subsidy vouchers and so on, using their phones.
Substituting technology for labour (such as the absent doctor at the government clinic) is another trend. Healthpoint Services, a start-up, is establishing for-profit centres in rural Punjab, in India, that provide health services, as well as clean water. Its health workers roam with backpacks carrying diagnostic equipment; a mobile phone captures and interprets the data, which can then be used for paid telemedicine consultations. This week Procter & Gamble, an American consumer-products giant, announced a commercial partnership with Healthpoint.
No doubt a dose of scepticism is warranted about m-health. But given the growing evidence of its usefulness and the new business models from emerging markets, there is reason for hope too. As Mr Gates pointed out this week, "Middle-income countries are where most innovation in health care is going to come from."

Bernie Sanders is showing how he'd run against Trump in 2020
Bernie Sanders is revving the engines of his long-promised "political revolution."
The Vermont independent senator, who caucuses with the Democrats, is tapping back into his national network of supporters. He's drawing millions of viewers for events he streams live on Facebook. And he's delivering a series of speeches designed to counter President Donald Trump and offer his own progressive vision.
Taken together, his moves in 2018's first weeks show that Sanders is road-testing ways to deliver a message tailored to the Trump era without filters, and to activate his supporters behind it -- even as he insists publicly and privately that it's too early to commit to a 2020 presidential run.
"We are starting to see the beginning of a political revolution, something long overdue," Sanders declared after scanning the progressive anti-Trump resistance in his live-to-Facebook response to Trump's State of the Union this week.
There is ample reason to doubt a Sanders 2020 run: He'd be 79 years old on election day. His wife, Jane Sanders, is embroiled in a federal investigation into a land deal she made while president of Burlington College. And an awkward clash with a local newspaper reporter showed that Sanders may be uncomfortable entering the race as a front-runner, where the scrutiny is more intense and impossible to control.
But the next presidential race is on the minds of Sanders' allies. A number of top aides involved in his 2016 campaign huddled recently and discussed what a 2020 presidential run would look like -- a meeting first reported by Politico.
Still, Sanders' camp insists he's focused now on helping Democrats -- particularly like-minded progressives -- win this year, in hopes of stymieing Trump for the latter half of his first term.
"That's really where his head is at, is 'How do we put a check on the President?'" said Jeff Weaver, Sanders' 2016 campaign manager. "For everybody who is horrified about what this White House is trying to do, having a Democratic-controlled Congress -- even one house of Congress -- would be a tremendous check."
2018 plans
Sanders intends to travel extensively to support progressive candidates. First up, aides said, is likely a Midwestern trip where Sanders would campaign for three Democratic House contenders: Chuy Garcia in Illinois, Sanders presidential campaign veteran Pete D'Alessandro in Iowa and Randy Bryce, who is challenging House Speaker Paul Ryan in Wisconsin.
For the midterms, Sanders also plans to re-activate his "distributed organizing network" of supporters -- the massive network of volunteers who made tens of millions of calls and texts for his presidential campaign -- to help Democrats Sanders supports.
Such a trial run would be a luxury if he were to run for president in 2020. Sanders' 2016 campaign started as a shoestring operation and expanded on the fly as he gained momentum; he'd enter 2020 with an infrastructure and network far larger than those of any other Democrat, and with many of the kinks already worked out.
Bernie TV
Since the 2016 election, Sanders has also built a massive collection of Facebook videos -- and is now beginning to host his own live events, circumventing the mainstream political press while attracting massive audiences.
Most clips are short -- between one and three minutes. His staff posts as many as five videos a day -- often just packaging, adding context and slapping a logo onto Sanders' remarks in TV interviews or at public events. Sanders brought on NowThis News' Armand Aviram to help produce them. And, spokesman Josh Miller-Lewis said, the senator personally weighs in on the videos' content "all the time. It's one of his biggest areas of focus."
The short videos are posted on his Senate Facebook page, which has 7.5 million followers. (His campaign page has another 5 million.)
They get attention -- combined, his "Medicare for all"-focused videos have more than 100 million views since August.
But the biggest events are Sanders' livestreams. He drew 1.1 million live viewers for a "Medicare for all" town hall in January -- an evening audience that rivaled cable news networks -- and 2 million viewers total. His State of the Union response got 1 million total viewers.
Sanders has partnered with progressive online news outlets to air his events. He's also launched his own podcast.
Big speeches
He's also making sweeping speeches focused on topics far removed from Trump-focused news cycles. On Wednesday, Sanders delivered a speech focused on climate change -- a notable omission in both Trump's State of the Union and Massachusetts Rep. Joe Kennedy III's official Democratic response.
But while Sanders is most comfortable talking about his bread-and-butter issues -- Medicare for all, climate change, college affordability and income inequality -- he's also taking Trump on in cultural terms.
At a Latino Victory Fund event this week, Sanders labeled the Trump White House "the most extremist, reactionary, xenophobic, bigoted and thankfully, in many ways, the most inept and incompetent administration in the history of our country."
"What Trump and his friends are trying to do is exploit old fracture lines in our society -- racism, sexism, homophobia, Islamophobia, religious bigotry," he said. "In these dismal times, it is more important now than ever that we offer a vision to the American people -- a vision of hope; a vision of what this nation can become."

Daily Life for a Maya Commoner
History » The Mayans » Daily Life for a Maya Commoner
Maya commoners made up the widest but lowest part of their society's social pyramid. As in most of the Mesoamerican cultures, daily life depended on social class. At the top were the king and noble families. Most nobles were elite warriors, priests, scribes or government officials. In the middle were the artisans, traders, weavers, potters and warriors. Since Maya culture depended on agriculture for food and trade, most Mayas were farmers during the growing season. After harvest, many of them would turn to work on building the incredible Maya cities.
Life for Maya commoners involved hard physical work. That doesn't mean their lives were unhappy or unsatisfied. Farming families lived simply but ate well. Their work that provided food for the family and the surplus fed everyone else. Women worked daily in their homes, cooking, grinding corn, raising the children, tending gardens, checking beehives and weaving cloth for their own clothes and the market. Men and boys went off to tend fields called milpas where maize or corn, beans and squash grew together. The central crop was maize but they also grew chili peppers, sweet potatoes, avocados, tomatoes, papaya, onions and garlic. Some families kept livestock like dogs, ducks and turkeys. Men also hunted deer and a wild pig known as a peccary and fished in the rivers, lakes and oceans.
Besides farming, Maya commoners, called memba uinicoob, might work as porters, limestone quarriers or servants to the noble class, but most were farmers. There were no draft animals such as horses or oxen to help with plowing or carrying. Manpower alone did all the work. The Maya had no metal, but obsidian and flint provided the sharp edges needed for many daily tasks.
A Maya farming family would start their day early. The extended family all slept together in their one-room house, sleeping on reed mats.Breakfast consisted of a porridge called saka that was made of cornmeal mixed with water and flavored either with chilies or honey. Men and boys wore simple loincloths and added a cape if they were cold. Women and girls wore blouses and long skirts. After breakfast, women started weaving or making pottery. Men and boys went to the fields.
During the day, men and boys would eat a dumpling made of corn and filled with vegetables and meat while at work. After work, at home the family would gather for the main meal, filling tortillas—a flat bread made of cornmeal dough—with vegetables and meat or fish when they had it. Everyone would settle down to sleep when it got dark.
Life wasn't all work for Maya commoners. At least every month, a religious festival took place in the city and everyone would go to sing and dance and worship their many gods. Maya children played with toys as children do everywhere. Festivals meant feasts of delicious foods. They might watch a ball game called Pok-A-Tok, which was often played as a religious ritual but was also played for fun.

This week we were pleased to welcome Mike Kane MP, Shadow Minister for Schools, for the latest in our series of #LutherNetwork events.
Mike kindly joined us to lead a discussion on some of the key aspects of Labour's education policy. At the heart of this, Mike explained, was a National Education Service, which all schools funded by the public purse would be a part of.
Mike led a detailed and informative discussion, describing how his background and own experiences, including ten years as an outstanding-rated primary school teacher, have informed his views on education policy today.
Mike criticised the 2010 education reforms, which he argued had led to decision-making in Whitehall, questioning whether this best serves communities across the UK.
A lively discussion followed, with topics including Labour's plan to imposie VAT on independent school fees, the current teacher qualification system and Ofsted's school assessment criteria discussed.
The roundtable consisted of attendees representing a variety of education-related organisations, including multi-academy trusts, educational charities and independent schools.
Our thanks go to Mike and our guests for joining us.
