For English Teachers
We are in a golden age of writing about teaching, much of which (though not all) has been prompted by online connections and blogs. Here is a small selection of books aimed at English teaching, or which will be of interest to English teachers. It will be added to gradually.
The Book Whisperer: awakening the inner reader in every child by Donalyn Miller is now ten years old (it started as an online advice column), but still fresh and inspiring: Miller's relentless focus is on promoting independent reading and individual choice.
Closing the Vocabulary Gap by Alex Quigley (2018) might well be the single most useful and important recently-published book for English teachers. Rooted in research, it addresses this fundamental matter, giving lots of practical ideas on how to develop 'word-rich' pupils. "The future success of all of our students rests predominantly on their ability to become proficient and fluent readers. Their capacity to learn, and enjoy learning, is bound inexorably to their reading skill." Alex will be giving a talk on this at researchED Dublin in October.
Reading for Pleasure: a passport to everywhere. Kenny Pieper's beautifully-written short book echoes much in Donalyn Miller's. "We need to step up and be their reading mentors, getting involved in their lives, or at least be the ones who will properly encourage them to turn the key. It won't happen by accident."
How to Teach English: novels, non-fiction and their artful imagination by Chris Curtis is brand-new, and packed full of good sense and ideas and how these can work in the classroom. "Simplicity in writing is not encouraged in schools. There are writers whose work is seemingly effortless and beautiful, with very few unwieldy words or obvious techniques, and they are the ones we should be including in lessons. For me, these include Patricia Highsmith, Angela Carter, John Steinbeck, Ray Bradbury, Ian Banks, Stephen King, Saki, George Orwell and Ernest Hemingway."
Maryanne Wolf's Reader, Come Home: the reading brain in a digital world should be read by all English teachers (lots of others, too, of course). "The transition from a literacy-based culture to a digital one differs radically from previous transitions from one form of communication to another." And here are Doug Lemov's pessimistic thoughts in his review: "It is true that schools are one of the few places that could ensure time and space for deep reading, sustained and meditative. But this would require a changed vision: school as a place apart as much as a place connected; school as bastion against technology as much as acolyte; school as a place that shapes rather than merely accepts social norms. Not easy work, in other words, nor work most schools seem willing to do."
The Enchanted Hour: the miraculous power of reading aloud in the age of distraction by Meghan Cox Gurdon follows on from Wolf's in many ways. It's for everyone, not just teachers, and of course parents are the first and most important readers out loud. The author's case for reading out loud is completely convincing (and reminds those of us who are teachers not to stop as our pupils get into the final years of their schooling).
How to Teach English Literature: overcoming cultural poverty by Jennifer Webb also came out this year. It's directed partly at GCSE study in England, but will still be found useful by teachers in Ireland and beyond. Again, this is a rich resource. "To create brilliant literature critics, you need teachers who are: a) Experts: both in their subject and in pedagogy, who continue to learn; b) Happy: fulfilled, well-rested, valued, and trusted."
Making Every English Lesson Count: six principles to support great reading and writing by Andy Tharby (2017) has lots of practical guidance. "When employed without subtlety, however, some teaching strategies can imply a distrust of literature. Even though games, role plays and flashy slideshows all have their place, trying to engage students through these alone can be a case of not seeing the wood for the trees. A battered, dog-eared copy of Frankenstein is an extraordinary tool for teaching and engagement. Use it."
England: Poems from a School edited by Kate Clanchy isn't in fact aimed (just) at teachers, but every English teacher will love it: over several years Clanchy has elicited extraordinary work from the pupils at Oxford Spires Academy. This collection is full of the voices of children building their new homes in England, and trying to manage their new emotional and mental distances from their original countries.

Did Boity just confirm that she's a sangoma?
Cape Town - Boity Thulo sparked fresh engagement rumours when she was photographed wearing what looked like an engagement ring.
Boity seems to be living her best life, following her breakup with rapper, Cassper Nyovest. The TV personality recently purchased a home and upgraded her ride to a Mercedes GLA. Talk about levels!
Boity shared a picture of her new whip on Instagram, and you can clearly see a rock on her left hand, ring finger. Take a look at the pic below, and see for yourself.
Always and forever grateful. Wholeheartedly humbled. ?????????????????? #GodAtWork #ThokozaGogo #OwnYourThrone??
It's been a good day. ???????????????? #OwnYourThrone??


Personal Shopper and Stylist Lindsay Burns' Blog: Christmas Gifting - Crunch Time!
Christmas Gifting - Crunch Time!
If you're like the majority of Christmas shoppers, SOMEHOW the 25th of December pops up on your calendar magically three days before. Then comes the frustration of figuring out what to get ,finding a parking space and standing in line among other, equally frustrated consumers. But this year, Style Savvy is here to help you de-frustrate!
For men, I heartily recommend THE GIFT CARD. Lowe's, Home Depot and hand car washes all sell them and no man still in possession of his man card would turn one down. I thought of the car wash idea because it's a treat men don't often allow themselves, so what could be better than giving something you'd like to get yourself?????
For women, I also recommend THE GIFT CARD. Whether it's to Sephora, Saks or Nordstrom, a gift card in an appropriate amount will allow her to buy that cashmere sweater, a new eyeshadow set or the tiny cross body for evenings out that women never seem to buy for themselves. Added to whatever budget she's put aside, your gift might be the difference between buying shoes at Macy's sale and bringing home those gorgeous Choos she's been coveting. However she Chooses ( pun intended ) to use it, your gift card is more than money-it's potentially a wish come true!
I guess I can't say enough about THE GIFT CARD. It's easy but welcome and allows everyone to do what the holidays are here to do-remind everyone that what counts is family, friends........and really great shoes!

Der Trend (von der Zeitschrift stilisiert als trend) ist Österreichs nach Auflage größtes Wirtschaftsmagazin. Seit 1970 richtet es sich an wirtschaftlich Interessierte und Unternehmer. Unter dem Motto "Wir bewegen Wirtschaft" berichtet das Magazin wöchentlich über aktuelle wirtschaftliche Entwicklungen und deren Hintergründe, befragt Entscheider, bietet Analysen und Kommentare, porträtiert Unternehmenslenker und gibt kompetente Tipps zu den Bereichen Geldanlage, Karriere und Kultur.

Der Trend und das Online-Angebot trend.at erscheinen in der VGN Medien Holding, Österreichs größtem Magazin Verlag. Chefredakteure sind Andreas Weber und Andreas Lampl.

Geschichte
Der Trend wurde 1970 vom Journalisten Oscar Bronner gegründet, der wenig später auch das Nachrichtenmagazin Profil sowie 1988 die Tageszeitung Der Standard gründete. Von Anfang an verfolgte das Magazin den Anspruch, hinter die Kulissen der Wirtschaft zu schauen und die Macher und Entscheider vor den Vorhang zu holen – was unverändert bis heute gilt. Bronner verkaufte 1974 seine Anteile schrittweise an den Kurier. 2000/2001 kam der Trend durch den Zusammenschluss der Kurier-Magazin-Tochter ZVB mit der News-Gruppe zur heutigen VGN Medien Holding. Seit der Fusion mit dem ebenfalls in der VGN erschienenen Wochen-Magazin Format 2016 erscheint der Trend wöchentlich.

Ergänzt wird das wöchentliche Wirtschaftsmagazin durch Sonderhefte wie den E-Trend (aktuelle Trends bei Digitalisierung und Informationstechnologie), Trend.invest (Themenschwerpunkt Geldanlage und Vermögen) und Karriere Guide (sic) (Tipps für den beruflichen Aufstieg und Weiterbildung). Über tagesaktuelle Ereignisse informiert der Trend mit einem Online-Newsletter.

The Question Of Time Depth?
The fact of the matter for now is that the divergence and diversity among the languages is what we have to work with. When more is understood, perhaps with some luck we can draw a finer bead on the question of time depth. However, for now, whether shallower or deeper, the relatively unknown age of human occupation in the New World solves none of the outstanding linguistic issues before us.
I've just learnt what that means.
"focus one's attention on a problem" and "completely understand or solve a problem"
I can understand this : completely solve a problem.
But, I can't interpret this : completely solve a problem of time depth.
What does that mean? Could it be a problem that will be solved as time goes by?
"deep time" refers to very long time scales, much longer than we, with our experience of time limited to one or two generations (lifespans), can easily appreciate or comprehend. "Time depth" thus refers to the time scales associated with the subject.
Deep time is the concept that the Geologic time scale is vast because the Earth is very old.
Dinosaurs and fossils in general are the key evidence to understand the evolution of life and our planet in deep time.
Knowledge of climate change in deep time provides clues to the way in which our climate system works under extreme conditions.

When Skeletor banished Randor to Despondos, he used Faker to convince the royal court that He-Man was not only a Gar, but also responsible for the King's "death." This ruse turned the people of Eternia against He-Man and the Masters soon became renegades in their own land. Driving to the underground caves of Tundoria, the Masters reformed as an elite attack squad. They returned to the surface and found not only Skeletor ruling Eternia, but King Hssss and a newly returned Hordak also challenging for control. To enhance his strength for these new battles ahead, He-Man used the Powers of Grayskull to energize his weapons, giving them a new Thunder Punch to combat evil!


Because of the controversy surrounding marijuana during that era, many other slang terms were birthed around the same time. American Speech included 'weed' in 1929's "Among the New Words," defined as a "marijuana cigarette." Just a few years later, the Chicago Defender reported using the word "reefer." And we can all remember 1936's Reefer Madness to illustrate that history.
In Google Books searches confined to 2013 publications, smoke marijuana pops up 69 times, smoke pot 94 times, and smoke weed 149 times.Why the recent weed dominance? It seems clear to me that it's a generational thing. In the 1990s, a new generation of users wanted to distance themselves from their parents' dope or pot (the latter dates from the 1930s and apparently originated in African-American slang). Weed was already in the lexicon, and provided a nice implicit variation on the hippie-ish grass.
So which term is the most popular nowadays? According to the Google chart displaying the frequency of various cannabis slang terms used in American publications in the past 50 years, "weed" is the only term to actually be increasing in recent use. (=Also interesting is how rapid the rise in popularity of "pot" and "marijuana" were in the 1960s. To back that claim, in a Google Books search on the year 2013, results used the term "smoke marijuana" 69 times, "smoke pot" 94 times, and "smoke weed" 149 times. Not to mention that Urban Dictionary has over 225 separate definitions for just "weed." Slate attributes the popularity of "weed' over other slang terms to how casual the word is, since it has already has another meaning as well – those unwanted plants in your yard. Using "weed" is simple and easy compared to "cannabis" or "ganja." Also contributing is a generational evolution, "In the 1990s, a new generation of users wanted to distance themselves from their parents' dope or pot.

Where you live can play a major role in your health. It can also play a major role in how your children develop.
The percentage of children struggling in at least one area of their development varies across Canadian provinces/territories. On the low end, roughly 17% of children are vulnerable; but on the high end, nearly 40% of children are vulnerable. At a neighbourhood level this gap grows even larger. Some neighbourhoods have as few as 2% of children vulnerable, whereas others have roughly 75%.
What is it about some neighbourhoods that contributes to children's struggles? And what is it about others that helps children thrive? Knowing this is vital for informing policy that can ensure every child has the best chance at health, happiness, and future success.
The CIHR-funded Canadian Neighbourhoods and Early Child Development (CanNECD) study aims to understand this question.
The study is a collaborative effort from researchers across Canada, including McMaster University, University of British Columbia, University of Manitoba, and University of Saskatchewan.
To see what role neighbourhoods play in how children develop, the study links EDI data with Canadian Census and Taxfiler data. Researchers are then able to see the social and economic indicators associated with positive or negative developmental health outcomes.
Want to learn more about how CanNECD researchers linked EDI data with SES information? Read the protocol paper online.
Which neighbourhood socioeconomic variables are most strongly associated with kindergarten developmental health outcomes?
How do socioeconomic gradients of developmental health differ across Canada?
In what ways do associations between social determinants and developmental health outcomes differ across subpopulations (e.g., rural vs. urban, by gender)?
What demographic characteristics are associated with neighbourhoods that have consistently higher or lower developmental health scores than predicted by their socioeconomic status?
How do neighbourhood developmental health outcomes change over time and are these associated with corresponding changes in socioeconomic and/or sociodemographic contextual factors?
To answer these questions the research team analyzed four socioeconomic indices to determine which was most relevant for analyzing early childhood development.
For a full description of how the research team compared the indices please read Neighbourhood socioeconomic status indices and early childhood development.
The team has now been able to begin understanding how neighbourhoods affect children's developmental outcomes. Work continues on publishing these findings in peer-reviewed journals, including in the upcoming issue of the International Journal of Population Data Science.

A successful vehicle build for hard-core off-road use generally follows one of two patterns. Start with a small rig and build it up using full-size heavy-duty parts, or take a full-size rig already equipped with heavy-duty parts and be prepared for the Jeep sized trail to beat that big truck down to size. Offroad Design specializes in the latter, and focuses on full-size 4x4 products for hard-core off-road use. That's for a good reason as almost all old ('70s- earl '90s)1/2-, 3/4-, and 1-ton 4x4s have some if not most of the best parts available already bolted to them when they left the factory. ORD cut their teeth manufacturing adapters for NP203/NP205 transfer case doublers and have recently come out with their all new Magnum Box. The Magnum is a planetary gear reduction box that bolts to the front of an NP205 increasing its usability by adding extra reduction to this already practically indestructible transfer case. And over the past several years ORD doubers and Magnum Boxes have shown their worth between the frame rails of many a UA rig. Ultimate Adventure is a transfer case torture test with hard trail days that include heavy rock work, mud, sand and water only to be followed by long road days where drivetrains are expected to last through the heat for hundreds of at-speed road miles. With ORD's help thousands of tortuous UA miles have passed under our rigs without any issue.
Stephen Watson and his father James have also fit the dirt filled UA mold with ease getting along with all UAer's seamlessly for the past several years all while carrying a wealth of off-roading and technical knowledge. Their trucks are always well prepped for the trip and have excelled during this heavy-duty torture test taking full-sized 4x4s where many do not dare to tread. With that, and the expectation of lots of ORD parts in use at UA 2016 we at 4-Wheel & Off-Road welcome ORD's Stephen and James Watson back for another Ultimate Adventure.


Cooke Brothers Funeral Home Four Benefits of Non-Stick Pans, Not to be confused with the European Curry Plant, Helichrysum italicum,Curry Leaves emanates from the Curry Tree, Murraya koenigii. It is a tender, evergreen shrub reaching around 20 ft . tall in their native southwest Asian habitat. It grows inside foothills from the Himalayas, southern India and Sri Lanka, and is also cultivated in lots of Indian gardens. The leaves are a mid green in color and grow about 16 to 20 on each small stalk. The small star shaped white flowers grow in clusters in summer, then edible, peppery tasting black berries. It is best to utilize leaves fresh. The leaves have little flavor once dried. A handful of dried leaves are had to substitute for just a couple of, if fresh.
But most individuals don't tend to eat asparagus for its medicinal properties. If you love asparagus, it is not necessary justification to indulge your tastebuds. Nothing beats the taste of delicately prepared, fresh asparagus. Purists enjoy their asparagus broke more than a drizzle of good-quality organic olive oil, however, you can take advantage of asparagus in many different dishes: soups, salads, stir-fries, risottos, scrambled eggs, pasta, and more.
Third, make sure to look at the stove as well as your oven prior to leaving your property. Whether you are planning to see a store across the street or planning to other further place, you must check and recheck your stove, oven, as well as other heating equipment. Make sure that those tools are in off condition, hence the probability of fire might be easily reduced.
In order to retain the flavor, the fish have to be preserved as soon as possible after being caught. The most traditional way is to pack it them in salt providing you the real authentic flavor. Soon after they are caught, they are cleaned, washed in brine and overlooked to dry. They are then stacked in layers in tins using a salt layer in between. they're left to season for 8 weeks. On top of the tins a is placed to compress the fish and take away any excess fluids for example water and fat. Once they are fully cured, the tins are sealed and they also could be packed for shipping around the world.

TP52s are boats built under a box rule, meaning that each boat must fit within a set of measurement parameters defined by the class rule.
Downwind in a strong breeze TP52's can sail at well over 20 knots, which is why the owners just have so much fun racing them!

Although better breast screening tools are needed, there are options. The choices depend on your age and family history. The problems exist between distinguishing between a benign cyst filled with fluid and or condensed breast tissue ...or a malignant tumor comprised of malignant cells necessitating a biopsy.
Women younger then age 50 generally with denser breast tissue make it difficult to read mammograms (x-ray). In this group, there is a 10% false positive and a 20% missed diagnosis.
Women younger then age 50 it is recommended to obtain a Thermographic examination. Thermography is a new technology that does not involve x-ray radiation. The technique involves measuring aberrant heat patterns associated with the increased meatbolic activity of malignant breast cancers.
Self Breast examination is always encourage and considered a simple and quick screening method.
MRI scans are also useful but expensive. MRI scans provide greater detail about the water content of breast tissue however the weaknesses are that it has difficulty in distinguishing between benign cysts and malignant tumors.
Ultrasound offers another option. It can distinguish between a benign fluid filled cyst and a malignant one but can not distinguish a benign growth of breast tissue and a malignant tissue. It weakness is poor detail.
Blood testing for a cancer marker CA125 is also another option but has limited accuracy as a screening tool.
New techiques on the horizon involve light dispersion anlysis.
Under age 50 breast thermography is an optimal choice.
Over age 50 mamography is an optimal choic.
If one recieves a positive finding utilize additional tests above before biopsy and aggressive therapies.


Having decided to try and make it to Lander today, I knew I had to get an early start to beat the wind. I had heard It could be a show-stopper in Wyoming, especially on the high plains I traversed today.
I was out of the motel and peddaling by 03.45 – I set off in the dark, but even so, it was the warmest it had been in days. I had some climbing to do right from the outset, crossing the continental divide twice in the first 30 miles. It wasn't tough though, the grades were short and gentle. By the time the sun had fully risen, I had made it passed muddy gap – another low pass. The dawn light revealed the terrain I had been traveling through – rolling hills covered in sparse vegitation filled the foreground, with sullen lookin mountains looming in the distance. Just before 09.00 I came to Jeffrey City.
Jeffrey City was named after Dr. C. W. Jeffrey, a wealthy doctor from Rawlins, who financed the costs for prospector and businessman Bob Adams to start the Western Nuclear Corporation mining firm and open a Uranium mine near the area in 1957, during the cold war and the height of uranium demand. Thousands of people looking for high-paying mining jobs streamed into Jeffrey City, and Western Nuclear designed and financed a company town for the workers and their families. At the height of the boomtown optimism, a high school complete with and olympic-size swimming pool was built. In the early 1980s, the uranium market collapsed and the mine was forced to close. As was typical of many boomtowns, Jeffrey City was singularly dependent on the local mine, and after it closed there was no reason for residents to remain. What was once a thriving local community with 95% of the population leaving by 1986.became a ghost town as 95% of the residents left the town by 1986. It's hard to imagine a more depressing place than modern day Jeffrey City – all the buildings are run down and deralict, the run-down state of the place is emphasised by the fact that it's the only town for 60 miles in any direction.
Shortly after passing through I met my first transam cyclists, a Swedish couple who had started their journey In Florida. It was great to talk to people who had faced some of the same challenges I have – they were snowed in for two days in Rawlins, only setting out for Jeffrey City yesterday. They had also had trouble with campsites, finding them to not really be a viable option. Talking to them also validated my decision to push on to Lander in one day – last night they were charged $150 for a filthy room in a portacabin! I had heard the woman who runs the shabby motel in Jeffrey City was crazy, but that seemed excessive. It would have been nice to stick with them for a while, but they were travelling a lot slower than me and I was concious the wind could kick in at any moment, so I quickly left them behind. I climbed up to the 'Beaver Divide', a ridgeline covered in snow where I was afforded some awesome views into the valley below from this point, and was treated to a 5 mile decent down into the valley. From there I had to really dig deep for the last 25 miles, I travelled through a canyon of red rock that contrasted sharply with the snowy mountians on the horizon. I finally limped into Lander for 02.00, completely shattered and in need of a drink. I covered 125 miles today, and felt every last one of them – not only was today marginally the longest day so far, but it was also hilly, and I had to deal with the altiude. I really felt the magnitude of Wyoming today – while it's not on the same scale as Kansas it's far more sparsely populated, in fact it's the least populous state with around 500,000 occupants. As if to hammer this point home – today I travelled 120 miles, passed a ghost town and nothing else.
The area I travelled through today Is stepped in the history of the wild west. He Transamerica Trail intersected both the Oregon Trail and the Pony Express Route. The Oregon trail was the main route for westward expansion for much of the 19th century – an estimated 350,000 immigrants followed the route, searching for a better life in the west. The Pony Express Route came through the area from April 1860 to October 1861. Riders would cover 75 miles each, swapping mounts every 12 miles. The carefully co-ordinated chain was capable of transporting a message 1,966 miles from Missouri to California in 10 days. Although the riders are now imortalized in legend, the endevour was short lived, with the completion the telegraph in 1861 rendering in obselete.
I am going to take a rest day tomorrow, as I really felt the toll of a hard day today, and don't feel ready to tackle the climb up to Dubois, the next stop on route. I'm just looking forward to sleeping past 03.00.
Your decision to start early and not get caught in Jeffrey City was clearly a good one. Filthy portacabins at £150 a night, must be one of the scariest things you have come across so far! It must also have been great to speak to some other Transam cyclists, especially as they have been experiencing some of the same frustrations. Enjoy your days rest today. We have G & P, Uncle P and Aunty M plus Uncle G and co over for lunch today, you will be really missed, although we will all be thinking of you, and I am sure lots of the talk will be about you and your adventures!!
great blog. 120 miles would take me a week, well done iron man. Hope your ears burnt today as we met up with your mum and all marvellong at your courage and single mindedness. Loved the history on the ghost town . Praying you have a great week.

'He's our guardian angel' – Money Advisor Steve praised for helping Craig and his sister
The sister of one of our customers has lauded the work of our Money Advisor Steve Thomas, describing him as a 'godsend.'
Craig Eady, 51, lives in one of our properties in Kettering. Due to his disabilities, his sister Suzette Howe acts as his carer.
Following the death of their parents, Craig needed to move into a new property which was adapted to meet his needs, which is when Steve stepped in to help.
Suzette said: "Craig had to vacate mum's property and move into a new place, which is where he still is now.
"That's when we were introduced to Steve and without his help, Craig wouldn't be where he is now.
Steve has been a godsend to us – his help's been unbelievable. The support he's given Craig has been brilliant.
"Among other things, he's helped us sort out his PiP and Universal Credit, and made sure I was being paid Carers Allowance for looking after Craig.
"Steve is most definitely our guardian angel."
Steve also helped Suzette and Craig through the Department for Work and Pensions appeals process relating to the Capability for Work Assessment element of Universal Credit after Craig's application was rejected.
Suzette said Craig was now in a much better place thanks to Steve's help. She also said that she'd recommend anyone in financial issues to get in touch with our Money Advice Team.
She added: "Steve deserves a medal for what he does.
"Craig wouldn't have been able to afford his rent without Steve's help. He wouldn't know where to turn to be able to secure his living.
"Steve's advised him on what to do, and Craig is now accomplishing so much more now.
"He's just gone beyond what he should do – there's no way to thank him. You can't put it into words.
It goes without saying to speak to the Money Advisors. Don't ever struggle – there's always help at the end of the line.
"If you're struggling with rent or any other money issues, just ring them and tell them. Make them your first port of call. They're here to help."

Reports have claimed that those inside Man Utd believe that Jose Mourinho is one more defeat away from facing the axe at Old Trafford.
The Portuguese tactician is under immense pressure after back-to-back defeats to Brighton and Tottenham, as it comes after a summer of reported discontent.
As noted by The Guardian earlier this summer, Mourinho is said to have grown frustrated over the lack of signings at the club, while as seen in the video below from his post-match press conference after the Tottenham game, he isn't in a great mood currently.
What is clear is that a win over Burnley on Sunday is needed to boost morale and silence the critics, but according to The Daily Mail, those inside the club, namely the staff and players, are said to be under the impression that should United lose this weekend, it could be curtains for Mourinho.
Things don't appear to be moving in the right direction at Old Trafford as after ending last season trophy-less and 19 points off the pace set by Premier League champions Man City, work was needed to be done this summer.
That didn't materialise and with rivals City and Liverpool both making strong starts to the new campaign and importantly also playing an entertaining style of football, it has arguably only served to add to the pressure and tension at Man Utd.
Further, given his brand of football doesn't necessarily fit the culture and approach developed at United over the years, particularly under Sir Alex Ferguson, there is always arguably an element of doubt when it comes to the current boss despite his exceptional winning record.
With that in mind, it remains to be seen if results now save Mourinho starting at Burnley, with the Mail reporting that those inside the club wouldn't be surprised if he is sacked in the coming weeks as it's supposedly being "openly discussed" amongst them.

Sources: Chuck Peruto's Deceased Girlfriend Had Seizure, then Drowned
By Simon van Zuylen-Wood·	 5/30/2013, 8:54 a.m.
According to "two law enforcement officials familiar with the investigation," the death of Chuck Peruto's girlfriend Julia Law was caused by drowning, possibly after a seizure. They came to that conclusion because she was found to have been "frothing at the mouth." And unlike another infamous drowning case involving a female friend of a prominent Philadelphian, illicit substances didn't appear to play a role, either.
No drugs or alcohol were found at the scene, the room was undisturbed, and the liquor closet was closed, the officials said. Nothing, they said, seemed out of place.
For official word on Law's cause of death, we'll have to wait for the autopsy report, which hasn't been released yet. [Inquirer]

Inside me there lives a little princess, who wants to love and create her own fairy tale. I am a very sociable person. I have many friends and with all of them I always maintain a warm and good relationship. I am not a party girl. I like home comfort and I like to create it. I love animals, every month I visit shelters for homeless cats and dogs, because they need our warmth and attention.
I am a girl who loves sport and dance to good music). I also like to read different books and thereby improve myself).
I really like it when a man has strong and caring hands. I want to meet a man in whose arms I would feel like a small piece of sugar. I like to arrange romantic evenings for my beloved person and I would like to see your loving eyes that would warm and inspire me. I dream that we would go through life holding hands and always support each other in everything. In this world it is so difficult to find each other. But maybe you are the one I am looking for.


BONIFAY � Chris Walker carried the Holmes County boys basketball team to new heights this year.
He has set some lofty goals for himself in the future.
A 6-foot-10 forward with ample athleticism, Walker led the Blue Devils to a Class 1A state championship last winter and was recruited to play basketball at the University of Florida. He has NBA aspirations, but first he must prove he can make the transition from playing in the smallest high school classification in the state to competing in major college basketball for one of the country�s elite programs.
Adorned with a label as a can�t-miss prospect, Walker competed against the nation�s top high schoolers in the McDonald�s All-American Game in Chicago on April 3 and the Jordan Brand Classic in Brooklyn, N.Y., on Jan. 13. Walker tallied six points and six rebounds in 12 minutes in the McDonald�s game, and he scored 14 points on 7 of 13 shooting and grabbed seven rebounds in 15 minutes during the Jordan game.
Coached by Po White, Holmes County claimed the District 2-1A title and carried a 14-8 record into the postseason. The Blue Devils routed Paxton 72-51 in the regional semifinals, and Walker scored 28 points in a 55-47 win over Malone that propelled Holmes County into the state semis.
Walker was a force on both ends of the floor in the semifinals against Hawthorne, collecting 20 points, 13 rebounds and 13 blocked shots as the Blue Devils earned a hard-fought 50-47 victory. Walker then fired in 30 points in the state championship game as Holmes County pulled away from West Gadsden in a 59-40 romp.
The Blue Devils finished the season 18-8 overall, and the state title was the program�s first.
Walker�s move to Florida was delayed by academic issues, but he now is enrolled and began practicing with the team on Dec. 14.

Following is the ninth blog in Kent's twelve-part series to share with you what influenced him to write each song on our debut CD Something on the Way. The lyrics to "November" are in italics below. The lyrics are also available under the Music tab, Lyrics category, by song title.
Musically this song was borne from playing a variation of the rhythm for "Going to Colorado". I was playing around with the capo to try some different keys and absent-mindedly played the D-suspended riff (which was actually an Eb chord because of where the capo was at the time) and as soon I started strumming, melodies began to emerge.
This song is an example of a song that grasped the working title I gave it and the lyrics formed as a result. My process when I am ready to record a new song is to identify the song with a filename on the computer, which becomes the song's working title. If I'm getting a strong feeling I will close my eyes and ask what the name of the song should be and write down the first word or phrase that comes into my mind. Sometimes this is just a working title but more times than not it becomes the name of the song and drives the theme. My fallback position if I don't get anything or I am in a hurry and just need to record my idea quickly is to name it with the next letter in the phonetic alphabet. The synchronicity of this song is that I had recently recorded an idea named "Mike" so the next letter was N or "November". As soon as I named it the words and theme formed from the melodies.
The melodies and words evolved out of the melancholy emotions I felt after walking past the home where I grew up and internalizing the fact that someone else now lives there. The timeframe was November so the opening visual provided by the lyrics built upon that time of year and set the scene.
Just a fleeting moment
I never thought I'd ever leave this place
The leaves twist through the yard, I…
I can only stand across the street
It was an odd feeling looking across the street at the bedroom window that used to be mine and from which I looked out on the street when I was a child.
And look from outside into
Windows that used to hold my frame…
The middle section of the song expressed some childhood memories.
Ooh forever thoughts of
November days and the stove was hot
Snowflakes melt on the windows
And our cares forgotten away.
And then the song returns to the theme of someone else living there and that person standing in the same place I did as a child and looking out the window.
Now I can't go back to
Only memories of what used to be
Now someone else is
Looking through that window across the street
And look from inside out of
The falsettos at the end were a spontaneous expression when I was recording. For me, this creative expression feels like a release every time I sing the song. Nostalgia and retrospection are fine, healthy, and part of who we are but at some point you need to release the energy and move on.
If the inspiration for "November" resonated with you, please retweeet. Tweet

I remember that place too. Many great summer memories….

For an instant, the two trains ran side by side. In that frozen moment, Elspeth McGillicuddy witnessed a murder. Helplessly, she stared out of her train window as a man remorselessly tightened his grip around a woman's throat. The body crumpled. Then the other train drew away. But who would take her story seriously? After all, there were no suspects, no other witnesses – and as she awaited news reports, apparently no corpse. Everyone but Miss Jane Marple was willing to dismiss Elspeth's distraught report of a murder. Miss Marple knew her old friend was incapable of imagining such a thing. And the challenge of no corpse being reported arouses Miss Marple to action. It is just her kind of case!

Among the crowd of government agencies that have rushed to aid the economy, the Federal Housing Administration often gets overlooked. And yet, along with Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, the FHA has played a huge role in preventing a complete housing collapse. All together, those three currently buy or guarantee more than 90 percent of mortgages. But the FHA is facing mounting losses and, The Wall Street Journal reports, it may soon be forced to notify Congress that its reserves have slipped below the mandated level. What will happen at that point, nobody seems to know.
Starting with this post, we'll be updating you every month on the status of the taxpayer-funded bailouts we track in our database — namely the TARP and government rescue of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Recent reports by the New York Times and Wall Street Journal have drawn attention to the billions in revenue that the Treasury Department has collected from companies early in returning their TARP investments. While those returns have been encouraging, there's no question that the taxpayer remains deep in the red.


Greetings from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville!
It's been an exciting fall so far with volleyball and men's and women's soccer in the midst of their competitive seasons. Right now I spend the majority of my time with women's and men's soccer where I'm learning tons about the sport and the common injuries that soccer players deal with. There are a lot of athletes on both teams, so my preceptors and I always have something to do. Furthermore, SIUE is a great place to be if you think you want to work at the D1 level in the future.
This semester I'm the only SLU AT student on campus, so I get tons of one-on-one time with the amazing staff. Our head AT is Gerald Schlemer ATC, and he takes care of men's basketball, men's and women's golf, and men's and women's tennis. One of the assistant AT's is Alex Sawyer ATC (a SLU AT grad!), and she works with volleyball and women's basketball. Then there is James Mays ATC and he looks after men's soccer and softball. The last of the assistants is Ben Heimos ATC who is with women's soccer and baseball. We also have two graduate assistants, Allison Barloon ATC and Ryan Salerno ATC; Allison takes care of cross country and track and field while Ryan looks after wrestling. Each of these guys is great at what she/he does, and it's easy to see that their athletes love them. More importantly, they challenge me every day that I'm working with them.

Q: How to call a customized proposal function in AdaptiveMCMC.jl I've been trying to use a customized proposal distribution that generates the proposed arrays so we can use them and test or sample them in a Metropolis-Hastings algorithm, with a log_target function, i wrote the metropolis-hastings code manually and it works fine, tho it doesn't give the same satisfactory results as using Klara.jl which is a closed package now. The proposal distribution is written like this
using Distributions
nonneg(v) = all(v.>=0) ? true : false

struct OrthoNNDist <: DiscreteMultivariateDistribution
    x0::Vector{Float64}
    oc::Array{Float64,2}
    x1s::Array
    prob::Float64
    #return a new uniform distribution with all vectors in x1s orthogonal to oc
    function OrthoNNDist(x0::Vector{Float64}, oc::Array{Float64,2})
        x1s = []
        for i = 1:size(oc)[2]
            x1 = x0 + oc[:, i]
            if nonneg(x1)
                push!(x1s, x1)
            end
            x1 = x0 - oc[:, i]
            if nonneg(x1)
                push!(x1s, x1)
            end
        end
        new(x0, oc, x1s, 1.0/length(x1s))
    end
end

Base.length(d::OrthoNNDist) = length(d.x0)

Distributions.rand(d::OrthoNNDist) = rand(d.x1s)

Distributions.pdf(d::OrthoNNDist, x::Vector) = x in d.x1s ? d.prob : 0.0
Distributions.pdf(d::OrthoNNDist) = fill(d.prob, size(d.x1s))
Distributions.logpdf(d::OrthoNNDist, x::Vector) = log(pdf(d, x))

you can test it using for example x0=[1.0, 1.0, 0.0,0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0] and mat = [0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0; 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1; 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0; 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0; 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0; 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1; 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0; 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0]. we can fix the mat and let x0 to be the variable by writing for example proposal(x::Vector)= OrthoNNDist(x,mat).
If we have a log_target function in general called logtarget(x::Vector) and using this proposal distribution above and i want to use it in AdaptiveMCMC package or any other package that can be used in this case with a minimum example, i tried AdvancedMH but a part of my target function uses JuMP hence i can't get the gradient of the target, i've read the Mamba documentation but i couldn't understand it exactly i would with a minimum example in this case of a customized proposal function and a target function, AdaptiveMCMC looks more simple but i keep getting some MethodError regarding the distribution it's supposed to be a function but mine it's not as you can see in the code above. i can provide here an example of the code using Klara with comments.
function qrelay(alpha, delta, name)
    n = 2
    chi = fill(sqrt(0.06), n)
    phi = im * tanh(chi)
    omega = 1.0 / prod(cosh(chi))^2
    syms, op = qrelay_op(n, phi, alpha, delta) #it gives an array
    op_a, op_ab, mat, coef = op_mat(op)  #array, array, matrice, array of coefficients

    op_q2 = [syms.apH[1], syms.apV[1], syms.bpH[end], syms.bpV[end]] #array
    op_q1 = [syms.apH[2:end]..., syms.apV[2:end]..., syms.bpH[1:end-1]...,  syms.bpV[1:end-1]...] #array
    mask_q1 = [op in op_q1 for op in op_a]; #array
    mask_q2 = [op in op_q2 for op in op_a];  #array
    qq = [x in syms.apH || x in syms.bpV ? 1 : 0 for x in op_a] #array

    pdet0 = pdet_maker(0.04, 1e-5) #it gives a probability
    qrs = QSampler(mat, coef, omega, pdet0) #calling a module QSampler

    targetcache = Dict{Vector{Int}, Float64}()
    function plogtarget(na::Vector{Int})
        get!(targetcache, na) do
            log(qrs.prob(qq, na, mask_q1) * qrs.prob(na))
        end
    end
#     plogtarget(na::Vector{Int}) = log(qrs.prob(qq, na, mask_q1) * qrs.prob(na))
    p = BasicDiscMuvParameter(:p, logtarget=plogtarget)
    model = likelihood_model([p], isindexed=false)
    sampler = MH(qrs.psetproposal, symmetric=false)    #this is where the proposal function is called qrs.psetproposal(x::Vector)= qrs.OthoNNDist(x, mat)
    mcrange = BasicMCRange(nsteps=2^20 + 2^10, burnin=2^10, thinning=2^5)
    v0 = Dict(:p=>zeros(qq))
    outopts = Dict{Symbol, Any}(
        :monitor=>[:value, :logtarget],
        :diagnostics=>[:accept],
        :destination=>:iostream,
        :filepath=>"$dataname/"*name
    )
    job = BasicMCJob(model, sampler, mcrange, v0, outopts=outopts)

    funcQ(v) = qrs.prob(qq, v, mask_q2)  #it returns a probability

    return qrs, job, funcQ
end

This piece of code won't work of course because Klara is closed but i just put it here to give you a clearer view of how the code was working before.

Trump's trade war with China has led to a Huge Cost
President Donald Trump is set to sign a "phase one" trade deal with China on Wednesday, but the agreement -- which has been almost two years in the making -- won't lift the tariffs he's imposed on Chinese-made goods.
The deal is expected to leave tariffs on about $370 billion of goods, or nearly two-thirds of what the United States imports from China. The taxes have raised the price for items such as baseball hats , luggage, bicycles , TVs, sneakers , and a variety of materials used by American manufacturers.
Trump used tariffs as a negotiating tactic, meant to hurt China's economy and pressure Beijing to agree to a new trade deal that addresses unfair trade practices, such as intellectual property theft and forced technology transfers. That's a goal that business leaders across the country, as well as lawmakers on both sides of the aisle agree on.
But the tariffs have hurt Americans, too. They've cut into US businesses' bottom lines, forcing owners to make decisions about job cuts and raising prices on consumers. Plus, the uncertainty around how long the tariffs will be in place and whether Trump will escalate the rate -- which he did last May with just days' notice -- deter businesses from making long-term investments, potentially costing the US growth.
300,000 jobs lost
A report from Moody's Analytics says that the trade war with China, which started in early 2018, cost 300,000 jobs through September, based on an economic simulation.
Even with that loss, US job growth is still strong. The economy added 2.1 million jobs in 2019 -- though at a slower pace than the year before when 2.7 million jobs were created.
While it's hard to know exactly how many jobs losses can be attributed to trade tensions, the Moody's report isn't the only one that suggests the duties are having an effect on US workers.
A survey of businesses by staffing firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas found that trade difficulties were cited as the reason for more than 10,000 job cuts in August alone. And an analysis by the Tax Foundation also suggests the trade war will result to job losses in the long-run.
American importers paid an extra $46 billion in tariffs
Trump is wrong when he claims that China is paying the tariffs .
The cost of the tariff comes directly out of the bank account of an American importer when the good arrives at the port.
US companies have paid $46 billion more in tariffs than they would have without Trump's tariffs, according to an analysis of government data by the free-trade coalition called Tariffs Hurt the Heartland . American importers can choose to eat the cost of the tariff, or pass some -- or all -- of it along to the consumer.
It's possible that some Chines manufacturers lowered their prices in order to stay competitive in the US market. But at least two papers released last year suggested that US companies and consumers are bearing the brunt of the tariff cost.
Tariffs cost US consumers
Several studies show that tariffs end up costing US families. JPMorgan Chase said that the tariffs imposed in 2018 cost the average household $600 a year.
A separate report , from researchers at the NY Fed, Princeton, and Columbia University, estimated that those tariffs would cost households even more: $831 annually. Their research also considered the cost of shifting supply chains to avoid paying the tariffs.
But those estimates don't account for the tariffs imposed in September, which hit consumer goods like toys, TVs and clothing. Earlier rounds of tariffs hit industrial goods and were less likely to directly drive up the cost for shoppers.
Despite those increases, consumers are not seeing huge spikes in prices for goods across the board. Inflation has hovered around 2% ever since the trade war started and while consumer sentiment has fluctuated month-to-month, it also hasn't changed much since early 2018.
Manufacturing takes a beating
Trump has often argued that his tariffs are boosting the American manufacturing sector, but the industry is in a slump. In December, a measure of manufacturing activity weakened to its lowest point in more than a decade . Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that just 46,000 net manufacturing jobs were added in 2019, an increase of less than 0.5%.
While there are likely a lot of factors at play, a recent paper from economists at the Federal Reserve showed that the tariffs are certainly dragging down the sector.
It's true that some businesses benefit when Trump's tariffs make a foreign competitor's goods more expensive. But many manufacturers need to import materials from abroad in order to assemble goods domestically -- and tariffs have hit hit items like steel, motors and bicycle parts.
Any benefit from the tariffs has been offset by the rise in price for input materials and damage from China's retaliatory tariffs on American-made goods, the paper said. It further stated that those factors led to a reduction in manufacturing jobs.
Farmers are hurting. But Trump's aid package helped
China targeted US farmers by hitting agricultural products, like soybeans, wheat and corn, with retaliatory tariffs.
But even though farmers lost one of their biggest export markets, a recent survey found that farmer sentiment is higher than it has been since 2016 and the US Department of Agriculture projected that farm income will be up 10% this year, to the highest level since 2014.
That's largely due to a bailout from Trump . His administration has given about $28 billion -- about double the cost of the 2009 auto bailout -- to farmers hurt by the Chinese tariffs. The payments aren't meant to make up for their total losses, but it's helping bridge the gap.
Without government payments, which are expected to be up 64% in 2019, farm income would have actually shrunk.
But Trump's aid payments aren't saving everyone. Farm bankruptcies are up 24% compared to the year before, according to the American Farm Bureau.
China's growth slows. US economy stays strong
China's economic growth slowed to its lowest level in nearly three decades last year, at least in part due to the pain from the trade war. Some US importers have shifted their supply chains, buying from manufacturers in other Asian countries in order to avoid paying the tariff.
While the American job market remains resilient and the economy continues to grow, it did slow down over the course of 2019 .
It's hard to tell how much of that was due to the trade war, which slowed China's economy and had other global effects. But Trump's tariff threats continue to foster an uncertain business environment. In addition to China, he's imposed tariffs on foreign steel and European wines and cheeses. His administration is currently weighing escalating those European tariffs and imposing new duties on a variety of French-made goods and products -- a move that has drawn sharp outcry from wine importers and restaurants .

If it's a cheap aluminum screw replace it with an R&D flex jet fuel screw.
Honestly I think its the stock screw. And I meant to say bind. It's like it gets to a certain point turning in or out and it comes in a slight bind and then if you pass the bind it either idles up or down to much. I hate the location of the mixture screws on the FCR 40 carbs.
I hate the location of the mixture screws on the FCR 40 carbs.
That why I always recommend the R&D. It makes setting the fuel screw as easy as adjusting the idle speed.
If he meant idle screw, then the idle screw (which is extened) spring cable has broken, or is about to. Replace it.
Pull the throttle wheel cover off to inspect.
Yeah, it may be time to have my eyes checked.

We Belong Together Lyrics by Mariah Carey
Mariah Carey Lyrics
We Belong Together Lyrics
We Belong Together Info
I didn't mean it
When I said I didn't love you so
I should have held on tight
I never should've let you go
I did nothing
I was stupid
I was foolish
I was lying to myself
I could not fathom that I would ever
Be without your love
Never imagined I'd be
Sitting here beside myself
I didn't know you
I didn't know me
But I thought I knew everything
I never felt
The feeling that I'm feeling now
Now that I don't
Hear your voice
Or even touch or even kiss your lips
Cause I don't have a choice
What I wouldn't give
To have you lying by my side
When you left
I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back baby please
Who else am I gonna lean on
When times get rough
Who's gonna talk to me
Till the sun comes up
Who's gonna take your place
Baby nobody else
I can't sleep at night
When you're all on my mind
Bobby Womack's on the radio
Singing to me
'If you think you're lonely now'
This is too deep, too deep
I gotta change the station
So I turn the dial
Trying to catch a break
And then I hear Babyface
I only think of you
And it's breaking my heart
I'm trying to keep it together
But I'm falling apart
I'm feeling all out of my element
I'm throwing things
Trying to figure out
Where the hell I went wrong
The pain reflected in this song
Ain't even half of what
I'm feeling inside
Need you back in my life baby
There ain't nobody else

This briefing shares an exciting set of insights into how multidimensional poverty changed in 22 countries and 189 subnational regions. The 22 countries come from every geographic region in the developing world. They contain nearly 2 billion people, which is almost 30% of the world's population.
We created rigorously comparable MPI values. Naturally the global MPI is not tailor-made to any national context, so some governments are implementing national MPIs whose indicators, cutoffs and weights re ect their context and policy priorities as well as the voices and visions of the poor. But these comparisons of poverty reduction across 22 countries aid, incentivize, and celebrate the reduction of disadvantages that blight people's lives. They also demonstrate the value-added that a multidimensional poverty measure such as the MPI can bring: to provide insights into progress by region, indicator, and weighted contributions; to incentivize reductions in intensity among the multiply disadvantaged; and to make visible the successes that income poverty overlooks.

Oil's 'heavy losses' may continue as trade war escalates
Via Fox Business
Oil prices fell on Wednesday amid ongoing trade tensions between the U.S. and China which appear to be escalating rather than easing.
On Wednesday, reports suggested that China was considering restricting its exports of rare earth minerals to the U.S. as the situation intensifies. China is the largest exporter of rare earth minerals, which include 17 elements used in a number of sectors – including technology and energy.
"Oil prices are crashing on the prospect of a longer than expected trade war," Patrick DeHaan, a senior petroleum analyst at GasBuddy.com, told FOX Business. "As long as this tit-for-tat escalation continues, expect oil prices to be under selling pressure."
The threat to cut off rare earth minerals added to selling pressure on Wednesday, DeHaan noted.
Brent crude fell more than 1 percent, to about $67.87 per barrel on Wednesday, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude dropped about 0.5 percent, to $58.83 per barrel. Both are on track for monthly declines.
Trade tensions are likely to worsen as President Trump has threatened to impose additional tariffs on $300 billion worth of goods from China. Earlier this month, he raised the tariff rate on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods to 25 percent, from 10 percent. Beijing then raised tariffs in retaliation. The U.S., citing national security concerns, is also limiting its purchases of products from Chinese technology firm Huawei.
Meanwhile, concerns about oversupply in the oil market are mounting as U.S. stockpiles are increasing. The Organization for Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) will meet next month, where members will revisit the issue of production cuts by member countries.
