In order to ensure that, we would first like to explain the terms used.
The terms we use in this Data Privacy Statement include:
1. Personal data
"Personal data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as "data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

4. Restriction of processing
"Restriction of processing" means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its processing in the future.
6. Pseudonymisation
"Pseudonymisation" means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
"Controller" means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

10. Third-party
"Third party" means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.
11. Consent

IV. GENERAL INFORMATION ON DATA PROCESSING
In principle, we process our users' personal data only insofar as that is required to provide a well-functioning website and our content and services. Personal data is usually processed only subject to the user's prior consent. An exception to that is when such prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and we are permitted by law to process the data.
2. Legal grounds for processing of personal data
If we obtain consent from data subjects to process their personal data, the legal basis for that is laid down by Article 6 (1) point (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The legal basis for processing personal data required in order to perform a contract to which the data subject is a party is Article 6 (1) point (b) GDPR. That also applies to processing activities required to take steps prior to entering into a contract.
If processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation on the part of our company, the legal basis for that is Article 6 (1) point (c) GDPR.
If vital interests of the data subject or another natural person necessitate processing of personal data, the legal basis for that is Article 6 (1) point (d) GDPR.
If processing is necessary to safeguard legitimate interests of our company or a third party and the data subject's interests, fundamental rights and freedoms do not override the interests of our company or the third party, the legal basis for that is Article 6 (1) point (f) GDPR.
3. Erasure and length of storage of data
The data subject's personal data shall be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose for which it has been stored no longer applies. The data can also be stored if this is envisaged by European or national legislators in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The data shall also be blocked or erased when a period of time prescribed for its storage under the above legal provisions expires, unless it is necessary for the data to still be stored so that a contract can be concluded or performed.
V. PROVISION OF THE WEBSITE AND CREATION OF LOG FILES
Whenever our website is called, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system calling it.
The following data is collected as part of that:
Information on the type of browser used and its version
The user's operating system
The user's IP address
The date and time the user accessed the site
Websites from which the user's system accesses our website
Websites the user's system calls from our website
The data is likewise stored in our system's log files. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.
2. Legal grounds for processing data
The legal basis for temporary storage of data and log files is Article 6 (1) point (f) GDPR.
Temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary so that the website can be delivered to the user's computer system. To enable that, the user's IP address must be stored for the duration of the session.
The data is stored in log files in order to ensure that the website functions properly. The data also helps us optimise the website and ensure the security of our IT systems. The data is not analysed for marketing purposes in this connection.
These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in processing data in accordance with Article 6 (1) point (f) GDPR.
The data is erased as soon as it is no longer required for achieving the purpose for which it was collected. As regards data recorded to deliver the website, this is the case when the session in question is over.
If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. The data can be stored above and beyond that. In that case, the IP addresses of users are erased or anonymised so that the client calling the website can no longer be identified.
5. Means of objection and rectification of data
Recording of data in order to deliver the website and storage of the data in log files are absolutely necessary for operating the Internet site. Consequently, users do not have the possibility of objecting and opting out.

X. USE OF GOOGLE ANALYTICS
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google Analytics uses cookies, text files that are stored on your computer and enable analysis of how you use the website.

However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will be truncated by Google beforehand within the Member States of the European Union or in other countries that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The complete IP address is sent to a Google server in the USA and truncated there only in exceptional cases.
The IP address sent from your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined by Google with other data. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities and to provide other services for the website operator relating to website and Internet use.
This website uses Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp()". As a result, IP addresses are only processed further in truncated form, which prevents them being linked to a particular individual. If data collected about you can be assigned to you, such a link is therefore excluded immediately and the personal data is erased without undue delay.
We use Google Analytics to analyse the use which is made of our website and to improve it on a regular basis. We can use the statistics we obtain to improve our offering and make it more interesting for you as a user. In exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google is subject to the EU-US Privacy Shield: https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.
The legal basis for using Google Analytics is Section 15 (3) of the German Telemedia Act (TMG) and Article 6 (1) point (f) GDPR.
The data that we send and that is linked with cookies, user identifiers (e.g. a user ID) or advertising IDs is automatically erased after 14 months. Data whose retention period has ended is erased automatically once a month.
You can prevent storage of the cookies by making the appropriate setting in your browser software; however, we point out that if you do so, you might not be able to use all the functions of this website in full. You can also prevent recording of the data relating to your use of the website and generated by the cookie (including your IP address) by Google and processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser add-on available under the following link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Opt-out cookies prevent future recording of your data when you visit this website.

XVI. FACEBOOK, CUSTOM AUDIENCES AND FACEBOOK MARKETING SERVICES
In our online offering, we use the "Facebook pixel" from the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or, if you are resident in the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook"). Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Framework and so offers a safeguard that it complies with European data protection law. The Facebook pixel enables Facebook to define visitors to our online offering as a target group for advertising ("Facebook ads"). When our web pages are called, the Facebook pixel is directly integrated by Facebook and may store a cookie, a small file, on your device. When you then log on to Facebook or visit Facebook when you are logged on, your visit to our online offering is recorded in your profile. The data collected about you is anonymous to us and so we cannot use it to identify users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, which means it can be associated with your profile and used by Facebook and for our own marketing research and advertising purposes. If we should transmit data to Facebook for the purpose of synchronisation, it is encrypted locally in the browser and only then sent to Facebook over a secure https connection. This is done solely to synchronise the data with the data likewise encrypted by Facebook. Facebook processes the data in accordance with its Data Policy. You can find general information on the display of Facebook ads in Facebook's Data Policy. You can find specific information and details on the Facebook pixel and how it works in the Facebook Help.
The legal basis is our legitimate interest in analysing and optimising our online offering and operating it cost-effectively and for these purposes. The legal basis for processing personal data using the Facebook pixel is Article 6 (1) point (f) GDPR.
We use the Facebook pixel to display ads we have placed only to those Facebook users who are also interested in our online offering or have the specific attributes (e.g. interest in specific topics or products as determined by the websites they visit), which we transmit to Facebook ("Custom Audiences"). By using the Facebook pixel, we also wish to ensure that our Facebook ads reflect users' potential interest and are not felt to be a nuisance. We can also use the Facebook pixel to track the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users are forwarded to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (termed "conversion").
According to its own statements, Facebook stores the data and time of your visit, the specific Internet address where the social plug-in is located, and other technical data, such as the IP address, the type of browser, the operating system, for a period of 90 days so as to further optimise Facebook's services. When the 90-day period ends, the data is anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with you.
5. Withdrawal of consent and means of deactivation
You can object to recording of your data by the Facebook pixel and use of it to present Facebook ads. In order to define which types of ad are shown to you in Facebook, you can call the site set up by Facebook and follow the information there on Your ad preferences. The settings are platform-independent, i.e. they are adopted for all your devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices. You can also opt out from using cookies that are used to measure reach and for advertising purposes on the deactivation site of the Network Advertising Initiative and also on the U.S. website or the European website.
XVII. SHARING PLUG-INS (FACEBOOK, TWITTER AND YOUTUBE)
We have installed sharing plug-ins on our website. These are simple HTML links which initially do not link any information about your visit to our website with your data on use of the relevant social media platform, such as with a Facebook user, or transmit it to the platform. Such information is only sent when you click on the sharing plug-in. That calls a script. The same applies to the possibility of sending tweets to Twitter directly from our site. A script calls up information on how often a site has been shared or tweeted about. It establishes contact with the service in question is via the programming interfaces (APIs) of that service and retrieves the figures. That query is therefore carried out by the server; instead of the visitor's IP address, only the server address is transferred to Facebook, Google and Twitter. As long as users do not click on the link to share content, they remain invisible, at least to the social media platforms. Please not that if you click on the link and your data is stored by service providers with registered offices that are not specified as being in an EU country, your data is often also stored by the service provider in non-EU countries and is subject to the regulations there. We point out that we, as the provider of our website, obtain no binding knowledge of how the data is used by the social media platforms. The sharing plug-ins are visibly indicated, such as by a logo ("f" for Facebook, "t" for Twitter, "YouTube" for YouTube and/or by an addendum referring to the service). You can find out which data Facebook collects for its own purposes in Facebook's Data Policy, where you can also obtain further information on how data is collected and processed by Facebook and on your related rights. Facebook's Data Policy can be called at www.facebook.com/policy.php and Facebook's information on social plug-ins at on.fb.me/mAN33b. If you activate a sharing plug-in, such as by clicking on Facebook's "f" button, or if you submit comments or use other functions offered by Facebook, the information in question is transmitted to Facebook, stored for your Facebook account for further use, and processed in accordance with Facebook's regulations. For details of the purpose and scope of data collection, how the data is processed and used further by Facebook, your related rights and settings you can make to protect your privacy, please refer to:
• Facebook's Data Policy
• Twitter's Privacy Policy
• YouTube's Privacy Policy
XVIII. HOTJAR
We use Hotjar in order to better understand our users' needs and to optimize this service and experience. Hotjar is a technology service that helps us better understand our users experience (e.g. how much time they spend on which pages, which links they choose to click, what users do and don't like, etc.) and this enables us to build and maintain our service with user feedback. Hotjar uses cookies and other technologies to collect data on our users' behavior and their devices (in particular device's IP address (captured and stored only in anonymized form), device screen size, device type (unique device identifiers), browser information, geographic location (country only), preferred language used to display our website).

David Bowie's 'Doctor Who' connections: It's the freakiest show
Posted February 1, 2016 by Christian Bone Filed under
We haven't made one but we imagine the Venn diagram of Doctor Who fans and David Bowie enthusiasts would cross over considerably.
Bowie's unique brand of music (which of course has sci-fi leanings) certainly has some shared characteristics with the inimitable Doctor Who – both are intelligent, inventive bodies of work that against all the odds managed to make the mainstream, constantly evolving over many decades.
Not to mention the fact that Bowie's other-worldly appearance made him a dream Doctor for many fans. Come on, that man just was a Time Lord.
Here are some connections between that ever-changing alien and The Man Who Fell to Earth. I'll leave it up to you to decide which of those descriptions is which…
Bowie Base One
When the Tenth Doctor found a human base on the Red Planet in 'The Waters of Mars', writers Russell T Davies and Phil Ford couldn't resist naming it Bowie Base One – a reference to David Bowie's song 'Life on Mars.'
Of course, in this episode the Doctor answers the song's question. Yes, there is life on Mars. And it is not friendly.
(Bowie's song 'Starman' is also played by one of Rose Tyler's neighbours on the Powell Estate in Russell T Davies' 2005 episode 'Aliens of London'.)
If David Bowie can't be the Doctor then what's the next best thing?
Yes, the Eleventh Doctor comic series from Titan made David Bowie into a companion – or rather created a thinly-veiled version of him. John Jones (based on Bowie's birth name of David Jones) was an alien with chameleonic powers who became a pop sensation on Earth in the 1960s. Ringing any bells?
Peter Capaldi's outfit
As well as his music, David Bowie will also have a lasting legacy for his avant-garde fashion sense. Given that the Doctor is likewise known as a man to make bold statements with his clothes, it makes sense for at least one of the Doctor's incarnations to have been inspired by the star.
Capaldi is said to have based his 'no frills, no scarf, no messing' outfit on Bowie's look during his Thin White Duke era.
A source told NME in 2014: "[Peter] explained he drew inspiration for his Doctor Who look from his 'scrapbook of ideas'. He thought Bowie was the perfect look."
Doctor Who and The Spiders from Mars
After performing 'The Jean Genie' on Top of the Pops, Bowie and his band The Spiders From Mars were backstage at the BBC and bumped into some actors from Doctor Who story 'Planet of the Daleks' that was filming at the time.
Due to their space-age costumes, they thought the band were part of the cast too!
Sharaz Jek
And this is the big one.
(Takes a deep breath.)
David Bowie was almost on Doctor Who!
Director Graeme Harper's first choice for the role of disfigured genius Sharaz Jek in 'The Caves of Androzani' was none other than Bowie, as he thought that a character who spent the whole time under a mask would have to have a distinctive voice and a balletic way of moving. Bowie might have taken the role too, but the filming dates clashed with the dates of his Serious Moonlight tour.
In the end the part went to Christopher Gable who, it has to be said, did a fantastic job and helped the character become one of the best villains of '80s Who. However, the idea of Bowie appearing the show is such a tantalising one it's heart-breaking that it never happened.

And I liked this because it was in black and white. I love colour, but there's just something about the simplicity of black and white that calls to me.
Maybe because it was in colour?

Gov. DeSantis administration mum on how it plans to spend $622M in extra Medicaid payments

Enhanced services allow people to avoid institutionalized care.
Health officials in Gov. Ron DeSantis' administration have said federal approval of more than $1.1 billion in increased federal Medicaid funds for home and community-based services is "imminent." But the state won't say how it plans to distribute the majority of those funds to the direct service providers who care for the elderly and people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
The ambiguity comes when Medicaid direct service providers are struggling to keep up with new increased minimum wage requirements and attract a future workforce willing to assist with daily activities that can keep patients living in the community, not in institutional care.
At press time, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services still had not signed off on Florida's proposal to spend $1.1 billion in additional federal funds. The DeSantis administration took advantage of the temporary 10% increase in federal matching funds Congress made available to states to bolster the infrastructure for home and community-based services under the American Rescue Plan. A state plan review shows Florida wants to target about 66% of the new funding, or about $622 million, for increased payments to the home and community-based service providers that care for about 108,000 people.
Most of those people are enrolled in either the iBudget program, designed for people with developmental and intellectual disabilities, or the statewide Medicaid-managed long-term care waiver program, which is meant for older adults who qualify for nursing home placement.
While home and community-based service providers offer similar services to those two groups, direct care providers generally work with Medicaid iBudget clients, or they work with long-term care clients.
Both Medicaid waiver programs allow people to get help with daily living activities, such as bathing, preparing meals and eating. Having those services delivered to them at home can keep the Medicaid beneficiaries from being institutionalized.
How the state plans to divide the money between the two waiver programs and the direct care providers at the heart of the programs isn't clear.
The Agency for Health Care Administration did not respond to questions from Florida Politics regarding how much of the $622 million for enhanced payments would be used for iBudget providers and how much would be used in the long-term care program. Moreover, AHCA didn't say whether it would use the Medicaid managed care organizations to disburse the funds to direct care providers who work with managed long-term care clients.
Florida Medicaid officials have submitted three different documents to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services explaining how the state plans to use the additional federal dollars. The documents don't indicate how the enhanced federal funding will flow from the state's coffers to the direct care providers who work with the Medicaid waiver clients.
In a July document summarizing the state's proposal to use federal dollars, Florida Medicaid Director Tom Wallace said the state will direct $356 million in one-time stipends to home and community-based service waiver providers. But there are no criteria the providers must follow for the distribution of funds. The document indicates providers can set their criteria.
Another $266 million in new federal funding will be directed to all home and community-based service providers to recruit and retain workers. But again, there is no additional information.
"Suffice to say, a lot of people are very, very interested," Jim DeBeaugrine, a former secretary at the state Agency for Persons with Disabilities turned lobbyist, told Florida Politics.
DeBeaugrine said state Medicaid officials should meet with all home and community-based service providers who work with waiver clients and have what he called "good, old-fashioned communication."
"At the end of the day, that's just good business practice," DeBeaugrine said.
A candid conversation would help the state avoid any potential wrangling over the distribution of the funds, which could slow things down.
"There's an urgency to this and the urgency is not based on future need as much as it's based on past damage that has occurred that nobody could help," DeBeaugrine said.
Bishop Grady Villas in Orlando offers a variety of services that are covered by the iBudget waiver program for people in Central Florida. Executive Director Kevin Johnson said 39 percent of the positions he needs to operate the organization are vacant, forcing him last month to make the difficult decision to cut off services to new clients. The decision, ironically comes at a time when the state is increasing funding for the iBudget program and taking people off the waitlist.
Johnson has, since 2008, relied on outside fundraising in order to bolster the state Medicaid reimbursement rates and increase salaries for his staff.
On average, Johnson has for the last five years collected an average $600,000 annually through fundraising. Johnson was able to raise $750,000 in 2020, but the COVID-19 pandemic, he said, has been a game changer.
"It's been a growing problem, but now it's just a whole different job market, people have higher expectations. Local employers are more competitive. For us, that's the biggest challenge. Also, the work we do is frontline. People were concerned about exposure during the pandemic. People were worried about vaccination."
Because the organization is understaffed it has paid overtime to those who staff on board overtime. In September it became too much and Johnson decided to stop taking new clients.
While Johnson said he has the available funding in his budget to make special payments to staff he said he doesn't want to jump the gun making payments before final CMS approval. Additionally he doesn't want to make payments before understanding what qualifies for the increased federal reimbursement.
"It's a concern not knowing and waiting, because you can only wait so long," he said."The flip side is as much as it can be a Band Aid to this problem right now, it's not going to be a solution without further commitment from the Legislature to fund increased rates. And, of course, the support of the governor to allow those to proceed as well."
Tyler Sununu, president and CEO at Florida Association of Rehabilitation Facilities, agrees. Sununu says his top priority for the upcoming 2022 legislative Session is to convince lawmakers to increase payments for services such as adult day care, residential habilitation and other home and community based services provided to clients on the iBudget program.
Meanwhile, communication with the Medicaid managed care industry also has been lacking. Florida contracts with Medicaid-managed care plans for the delivery of long-term care services.
Once enrolled in the program, people can access long-term care benefits meant to keep them out of nursing homes. A Department of Elder Affairs document shows the list of home and community-based services people can access include, among other services, adult companion care, adult day care, assistive care services, attendant care, behavioral management, care coordination, and case management, homemaker services, and occupational, physical, respiratory, and speech therapies.
But the state doesn't pay those providers directly. Instead, it pays the Medicaid-managed care organization a monthly rate to coordinate all the enrolled health care needs and contract with the provider network to deliver them. Managed-care plans get the monthly rate for every Medicaid enrollee in the plan.
Florida Association of Health Plans President and CEO Audrey Brown said, to date, the Agency for Health Care Administration hasn't contacted her organization regarding the increased funding for home and community-based service providers. Brown said she did not know whether the state would earmark the enhanced funding to the Medicaid managed care organizations and direct the plans to disburse the money or whether the state would pay the licensed home and community-based service providers directly.
"We do not yet know the exact mechanism for the additional payments, but that may be a decision point by the federal government, or AHCA may still be considering and has not yet made a determination. If the health plans are asked to act as a pass-through, they will operationalize accordingly, as we do for other directed payment programs," Brown said in a statement.
But she added she "would not characterize the fact that the mechanism hasn't been specified yet as anyone not being forthcoming."
Brown said Medicaid-managed care organizations had been asked in the past to distribute enhanced payments to certain providers. The health plans can update their systems and get the payments out to the direct care providers.
But Brown acknowledged that the "more notice in advance" the managed care organizations have to make the system changes, the better.
"The last thing that we, as the plans, want, is any friction over the timing or receiving of these payments," she said.

Dadabhai Naoroji
Dadabhai Naoroji Reads: 213
Died: June 30, 1917
Achievements: First Indian to become a professor of the college; instrumental in the establishment of the Indian National Congress; was President of the Indian National Congress thrice; the Congress' demand for swaraj (self-rule) was first expressed publicly by him in his presidential address in 1906
Dadabhai Naoroji is fondly called as the "Grand Old Man of India". He is viewed as the architect who laid the foundation of the Indian freedom struggle.
Dadabhai Naoroji was born in a poor Parsi family in Bombay on September 4, 1825. His father, Naoroji Palanji Dordi, died when Dadabhai Naoroji was only four years old. He was raised by her mother Maneckbai who despite being illiterate herself ensured that Dadabhai Naoroji got best English education possible. As a student Dada Bhai Naoroji was very good in Mathematics and English. He studied at Elphinstone Institution, Bombay and on completion of his education he was appointed the Head Native Assistant Master at the Elphinstone Institution. Dadabhai Naoroji became a professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy at Elphinstone Institution at the age of 27. He was the first Indian to become a professor of the college.
Dadabhai Nauroji entered the political fray in 1852. He strongly opposed the renewal of lease to the East India Company in 1853. He sent petitions to the English government in this regard. But the British government ignored his pleas and renewed the lease. Dadabhai Naoroji felt that the British misrule of India was because of ignorance of the Indian people. He set up the Gyan Prasarak Mandali (Society for Promotion of Knowledge) for the education of adult menfolk. He wrote several petitions to Governors and Viceroys regarding India's problems. Ultimately, he felt that the British people and the British Parliament must be made aware of India's plight. In 1855, at the age of 30 he sailed for England.
In England, Dadabhai Naoroji joined several learned societies, delivered many speeches and wrote articles on the plight of India. He founded the East Indian Association on December 1st, 1866. The association was comprised of high-ranking officers from India and people who had access to Members of the British Parliament. Dadabhai Naoroji was elected to the British Parliament in 1892 from Central Finsbury as the Liberal party candidate. He got a resolution passed in British Parliament for holding preliminary examinations for the I.C.S. in India and England simultaneously. He also got the Wiley Commission, the royal commission on India expenditure, to acknowledge the need for even distribution of administrative and military expenditure between India and England.
Dadabhai Naoroji was instrumental in the establishment of the Indian National Congress founded by A.O. Hume in 1885. Thrice he was elected to the post of the President of the Indian National Congress, in 1886, 1893 and in 1906. During his third term, he prevented a split between moderates and extremists in the party. The Congress' demand for swaraj (self-rule) was first expressed publicly by him in his presidential address in 1906. Dadabhai Naoroji believed in non-violent and constitutional methods of protest. He died at the age of 92 on June 30, 1917.

Is there any apps for measurement games or pics. Anyone who can help pls.
Big containers can be usefull for that so the learners have enough space.
Our children need to work on the xbox more often, but due to lack of space at our school this does not happen that often.Any ideas how we could go about this happening.
Children are so enjoying the tablets.Pity we do not have for each and every child.Any more sponsors please?
Struggle sometimes because all this is new for me.Uploading are also a problem but thanks to my friends for supporting me.
WE STRUGGLED A BIT WITHNTHE LOG IN AS WE FORGOT OUR PASSWORDS LOL.
Last year we were working well with our grade ones when it comes to working with with tablets. This year we are s truggling because of big numbers. How can we make sure that we accomodate all the learners simultaneously using the 20 tablets that we havecat school?
I think all the food should be halaal.
I totally agree with Bianca. Thanks for making all of this possible.


1. If your child has a serious medical condition that we need to be aware of, notify the P.E. Dept. and the nurse's office immediately. We will make adjustments so that their P.E. experience will be enjoyable. Also, if your child has an injury or illness and cannot participate, please bring a doctor's/parent's excuse in accordance to district policy.
2. Proper footwear is required. This means tennis shoes only! If they wear other shoes to school, they must still bring a pair of tennis shoes to change into for P.E. If your child fails to bring proper footwear, students will receive a mark in the coach's discipline book for not being prepared.
3. Children are always welcome to wear a hat to protect them from the sun. They may also bring their own bottled water.
4. If behavior is a problem, the student will receive a warning. If inappropriate behavior persists, the student will receive a mark in the discipline book. Students who receive a mark are sent home with a discipline slip which states the infraction and must be signed by a parent/guardian. This slip must be returned to P.E. Every three weeks we have a reward day. The students with marks by their names will spend their P.E. time walking for exercise.
5. Students are given a grade each six weeks based on our district wide P.E. rubric. Finally, parents are always welcome to visit, observe, help and even participate. Thank you, from the R.D. Martinez P.E. staff.


#Advent Botany Day 23: Vanilla – nothing plain about this flavour!
I'm not one for cream on my Christmas pudding, it just has to be custard or ice cream and so what I'm really admitting to is a love for vanilla. Vanilla is the quietest spice at Christmas but there is so much more to vanilla than merely two scoops of icecream.
Natural vanilla is the fruit and seeds from a tropical, climbing orchid. There are other edible orchids (e.g. Dendrobium flowers and salep tubers), but it is certainly the most commonly used in food preparation. Some orchids are harvested from the wild to eat (such as Orchis mascula and O. militaris for salep), but given the demand, luckily this isn't true for vanilla. There are over 100 orchid species in the Vanilla genus, but the most commonly cultivated species is Vanilla planifolia (more commonly known as Madagascan or Bourbon vanilla).
V. planifolia is native to Central and South America, and was first domesticated by the Totonac people of east Mexico, who used it exclusively until Aztec conquerors demanded vanilla as a tribute. The Spanish conquistador Cortez brought vanilla to Europe, where initially it was only mixed with cocoa and drunk, but later was used in other deserts. Vanilla was very expensive during the 16th to 19th century, as Mexico had a monopoly on this luxurious spice. The reason for this was discovered by the French botanist Charles Morren who in 1836 observed Melipona bees pollinating the flowers, which have a range limited to Mexico. Therefore, the only way to cultivate vanilla elsewhere is by hand pollination. Morren experimented with hand pollination methods but the method still used today was devised by Edmond Albius, aged 12, in 1841. A twig or blade of grass is used to lift the rostellum, separating the stigma and anthers, and the thumb is used to transfer pollen to the stigma. The process is further complicated by each infloresence only lasting for 24 hours.
Vanilla is labour intensive to produce, so natural vanilla is still the second most expensive spice (after saffron). Albius' method allowed vanilla to be grown in what is now Madagascar, Reunion and the Comoros Islands, which today account for 80% of the world's vanilla pod production. You can find more about vanilla from the National Geographic website and an interesting site dedicated to vanilla.
For centuries vanilla has been used to flavour our foods, drinks and even pharmaceuticals but the main extract from the vanilla pod, vanillin, wasn't isolated until 1858. Nicolas- Theordore Gobley obtained it by completely evaporating the vanilla extract and then recrystallizing it from hot water in order to separate it out from all of the several hundred other components found in the extract. Since the 1870's companies have competed to produce synthetic vanillin from clove oil, lignin, guaiacol and glyoxylic acid. More recently, Rhodia has marketed a "natural" vanillin which is prepared using microorganisms. You can find out more about the structure of vanillin here.
Around 2% of the dry weight of the cured pods of Vanilla planifolia is vanillin. When the seed pods are first harvested, they are green and lack the vanilla flavour and aroma. Curing of the vanilla pods consists of just four steps. "Killing" often entails the pods being frozen or blanched in hot water to initiate reactions which develop the aroma. Sweating involves stacking pods within layers of wool for 7-10 days in a very hot (45–65 °C) and humid environment. Drying occurs to reduce the remaining moisture content to around 25% in order to prevent rotting. Conditioning is the final step where the pods are left in the box for several months before being graded. It is after this curing process that vanillin develops the aroma and flavour that we have come to know and love.

The Passo Pura in the Carnic Alps was awash with summer flowers when we visited for our Field Course in Alpine Biodiversity and Forest Ecology in July. One interesting walk took us up this seasonal stream bed on the side of Monte Tinisi and rewarded us with some beautiful Lady's Slipper Orchids (Cypripedium calceolus).
The flowers in the hot Italian sun were fading and drying up, but the plants in the shade were perfect.
I'd only ever seen this plant in cultivation before, so it was a treat to see it growing wild. In the UK it is very rare having been lost from many sites through 19th century collecting for the horticultural trade. The lady's slipper orchid was thought extinct in the UK until a plant was found growing at one site in Yorkshire. This plant has been the focus for conservation and re-introduction programmes.
We also have pressed examples of this species in the herbarium collection and one sheet is on display in the Living Worlds gallery. This example was collected in the same area of the Carnic Alps in 1897 by James Cosmo Melville. He didn't do a very good job of pressing the intricate 3D flowers, which is one reason why orchid flowers are often preserved in spirit collections.
This specimen collected from neighbouring Austria does a much better job of showing the structure of the flowers. However, the person who picked it also included the roots (not just examples of the leaves and flowers) which could have had consequences for the population of plants at that site. Like other orchids, germination needs the presence of a symbiotic fungus and the lady's slipper orchid can take many years before it reaches flowering size.

For the purposes of this tutorial we have produced a set of three images (-2EV, 0EV and +2EV) from this scene. Keep in mind the more images you have the more image data and color range you'll be able to effectively utilize in your final HDR image. However, only you'll know what number of exposures, or what bracketing works best for your scene. Experimentation is the best way to learn what you like.
Being careful not to disturb the composition of the camera when adjusting exposure values.
It's always a good idea to run your images through DeNoise before importing your images into any kind of effects program to produce the best image possible into the mix. Garbage in, Garbage out.
This video has some great overall tips on processing the image in DeNoise because your steps will be different based on the quality, exposure and the compositions of your images.
Before you open DeNoise it's a great idea to duplicate your background layer so that you have a copy of it if you need to refer to the original image. Press Command ⌘ + J to duplicate your selected layer in Photoshop.
The process I went through for my images always starts with a preset. Inside of detail I chose to start with the "RAW – Lightest Preset" and to tweak from there.
The presets within a lot of Topaz Products do a great job of getting you almost there so after applying them you only need to do minimal tweaking to tailor the filter to produce the best image.
As you can see from the settings on the left I slightly adjusted the Overall strength down a bit and a few other tweaks.
Then press OK to apply DeNoise to your duplicated layer.
Once you've Applied DeNoise to your different exposures it's time to Produce the HDR image in Aurora HDR.
Open Aurora HDR, and you're greeted with this screen, Click on Load Images, then navigate to where you stored your exposures that you processed in DeNoise, and Press OK.
When this window opens you can click Create HDR. Inside the next interface you'll see a load of presets along the bottom of Aurora HDR. We're going to locate one we like.
For this tutorial I chose the "HDR Look 1" Preset.
It gave me a nice warm range of color to choose from that would be fun to work with in Topaz effects software.
Step 3a: Topaz Impression to get a fine art look.
Step 3b: Topaz Glow to get a fantasy look.
Step 3c: Topaz Texture Effects to get a textured look.
You could of course combine these different effects as well for an endless array of final images. But the next few steps will explain simply how each of these effects can produce a different overall image.
If you want to process through Impression now. Press Command ⌘ + J to duplicate your selected layer in Photoshop.
Then after renaming the copied layer "IMPRESSION" and selecting it, go to your filters list and select Topaz Labs > Topaz Impression.
Once you're into Impression you'll see along the right had side a list of presets available. Impression comes with dozens of effect presets, so to narrow this down we're going to click on the Category Dropdown in the upper right hand corner and select Pictorial. That will narrow the list of presets to something more specific to the painted photo look we want.
Scrolling through the presets you'll see one called Photo Painting 1, select that preset, then click on the slider image on top of it to open the effect sliders.
Now that you're inside the effect, you'll see that impression gives us a ton of brush options to change the look of the brushstrokes it applies. I'm fine with those settings but i'd like to make the image a little warmer and a bit more saturated. In the COLOR panel, bump the overall saturation up to 0.10.
You'll also notice that our light source is coming from the upper left. So we're going to go into the light direction option and drag the little dot to the upper left hand corner.
If you want to process through Glow, press Command ⌘ + J to duplicate your selected layer in Photoshop.
Then after renaming the copied layer "GLOW" and selecting it, go to your filters list and select Topaz Labs > Topaz Glow.
Like Impression you'll see that we have a list of Presets to quickly create stunning images listed along the right hand side. If you Scroll through the Featured category of effects you'll see one call Brilliant in Black III, simply click the effect then click OK to apply it to the GLOW layer in Photoshop.
The effect is coming on a little strong, we're loosing a lot of the HDR effect we got through Aurora HDR. So we're gonna fix that with Blending. With the GLOW layer selected, click on your Blend Mode and select Soft Light, the click on the Opacity setting for the layer right next to it and set it for 50%.
If you want to process through Texture Effects, press Command ⌘ + J to duplicate your selected layer in Photoshop.
Then after renaming the copied layer "TEXTURE" and selecting it, go to your filters list and select Topaz Labs > Topaz Texture Effects.
Texture Effects is an amazing program to quickly achieve a variety of textured, toned, and lighting effects. But one of the most amazing aspects of Texture Effects the ability to share your custom made effects through the new Topaz Community.
In the upper right hand of the interface you'll see a Browse button, give it a click and you'll open up the Effect Browser.
The Effect Browser combines both your local and community effects (as long as you have an internet connection). To show how easy it is to download and apply effects, I've created a specific preset and shared it with the community already to apply to this image.
Once you've opened the effect browser, in the upper-right hand corner. Type in the letters "HR", then click the Magnifying Glass to search.
Look for the preset HR Warm Bursts then click on the Download button to download to your system. Once the preset finishes downloading click the slider icon that appears over the preset.
You can now see the list of all the Adjustments that were included in the HR Warm Bursts effect. To apply it to the layer in Photoshop all you have to do is click OK.
This is just one of the many workflow options you have when you use Topaz Products and Aurora HDR. But it shows how easy it is to take your HDR exposures, and combine them to create amazing images with the Power of Topaz Products.
I have played around with Topaz Adjust.
Why don't you make a version that will work with Adobe Premiere or/and After effects?
That would be so cool. I would buy it the same day you release it.
May be an interesting soft for me.
Can I integrate Aurora in my own Workflow in which I use LR as central distribution?
Is it possible not use the align process in Aurora?
My friend excellent explanation, my doubt is once you have processed your images in Topaz denoise you must save your image what format should use, tiff 16 bits?
interested in your new HDR program.
? Must you load multiple images in the program ? or can you still get the different HDR presets with only one image?
Joe, I have processed an HDR from a single photo. The Aurora program says that you can but what I did with recent photos was save files with the exposures +1 or +2 and -1 or -2. I then processes those as an HDR. My attempt worked beautifully.

Q: Getting Multiple times output In this batch Apex code, I updated Mr. infront of the name if student is Male and Mrs. infront of the name if student is Female but at in output Mr. or Mrs. is getting multiple times. Please give me the suggestions to remove the multiple times of getting Mr. and Mrs. and get only once.
The above is the code that i was did
public class UpdateGender implements database.batchable<sobject> {

        public database.querylocator start(database.batchableContext abc){
            string a = 'SELECT Student_Id__c, Name, Gender__c FROM Student__c';
            return database.getquerylocator(a);
        }

        public void execute(database.batchableContext def, list<Student__c> x){
            for(Student__c a : x){
                if(a.Gender__c == 'Male'){
                    a.Name = 'Mr.'+a.Name;
                }
                else if(a.Gender__c == 'Female'){
                    a.Name = 'Mrs.'+a.Name;
                }
            }
            upsert x;
        }

        public void finish(database.batchableContext ghi){
            system.debug('Finish::!');
        }
    }

The above image is multiple times getting Mr. and Mrs. in output

A: As you might be running the batch multiple times this is getting appended. Try to avoid updating the records which already has those prefixes as below by adding this extra condition  !(a.name.startswith('Mr.')) as below
public class UpdateGender implements database.batchable<sobject> {

    public database.querylocator start(database.batchableContext abc){
        string a = 'SELECT  Name, Gender__c FROM Student__c';
        return database.getquerylocator(a);
    }

    public void execute(database.batchableContext def, list<Student__c> x){
        for(Student__c a : x){
            if(a.Gender__c == 'Male' && !(a.name.startswith('Mr.'))){
                a.Name = 'Mr.'+a.Name;
            }
            else if(a.Gender__c == 'Female' && !(a.name.startswith('Mrs.'))){
                a.Name = 'Mrs.'+a.Name;
            }
        }
        update x;
    }

    public void finish(database.batchableContext ghi){
        system.debug('Finish::!');
    }
}
