Direct Instruction (DI) is a model for teaching that emphasizes well-developed and carefully planned lessons designed around small learning increments and clearly defined and prescribed teaching tasks. It is based on the theory that clear instruction eliminating misinterpretations can greatly improve and accelerate learning.
Cooperation is working together to accomplish shared goals. Within cooperative situations, individuals seek outcomes that are beneficial to themselves and beneficial to all other group members. Cooperative learning is the instructional use of small groups so that students work together to maximize their own and each other's learning. It may be contrasted with competitive (students work against each other to achieve an academic goal such as a grade of "A" that only one or a few students can attain) and individualistic (students work by themselves to accomplish learning goals unrelated to those of the other students) learning. In cooperative and individualistic learning, you evaluate student efforts on a criteria-referenced basis while in competitive learning you grade students on a norm-referenced basis. While there are limitations on when and where you may use competitive and individualistic learning appropriately, you may structure any learning task in any subject area with any curriculum cooperatively.
Scaffolding vs. DifferentiationAs a general instructional strategy, scaffolding shares many similarities with differentiation, which refers to a wide variety of teaching techniques and lesson adaptations that educators use to instruct a diverse group of students, with diverse learning needs, in the same course, classroom, or learning environment. Because scaffolding and differentiation techniques are used to achieve similar instructional goals—i.e., moving student learning and understanding from where it is to where it needs to be—the two approaches may be blended together in some classrooms to the point of being indistinguishable. That said, the two approaches are distinct in several ways. When teachers scaffold instruction, they typically break up a learning experience, concept, or skill into discrete parts, and then give students the assistance they need to learn each part. For example, teachers may give students an excerpt of a longer text to read, engage them in a discussion of the excerpt to improve their understanding of its purpose, and teach them the vocabulary they need to comprehend the text before assigning them the full reading. Alternatively, when teachers differentiate instruction, they might give some students an entirely different reading (to better match their reading level and ability), give the entire class the option to choose from among several texts (so each student can pick the one that interests them most), or give the class several options for completing a related assignment (for example, the students might be allowed to write a traditional essay, draw an illustrated essay in comic-style form, create a slideshow "essay" with text and images, or deliver an oral presentation).
Object, event or question used to engage students. Connections facilitated between what students know and can do.
Objects and phenomena are explored. Hands-on activities, with guidance.
Students explain their understanding of concepts and processes. New concepts and skills are introduced as conceptual clarity and cohesion are sought.

Das Harvard Stadium ist das Sportstadion der Harvard University. Es wurde 1903 fertiggestellt und am 14. November 1903 eröffnet. Markant ist die Hufeisenform. Die hier ausgetragene Hauptsportart ist American Football. Es werden allerdings auch andere Sportarten ausgeübt.
Das Stadion kostete 310.000 Dollar, wurde in knapp fünf Monaten gebaut und liegt an der North Harvard Street auf dem Gelände der Universität. Es besitzt derzeit ein Fassungsvermögen von 30.898 Zuschauern. Architekt war Louis J. Johnson, der in der Klasse von 1887 in Harvard graduierte.

Das Stadion ist die Heimspielstätte des Football-Teams der Harvard Crimson. In der Saison 2014 trugen auch die in der National Women's Soccer League spielenden Fußballerinnen der Boston Breakers ihre Heimspiele im Harvard Stadium aus, bevor sie ins nahe gelegene Soldiers Field Soccer Stadium umzogen.

[SatNews] CETel has put Newtec Elevations modulators, shapers and encapsulators to work thus enhancing its IP trunking services to Africa and the Middle East. CETel is a global provider of teleport and satellite services.
CETel has upgraded its DVB-S2/SCPC links from Ruppichteroth, Germany to seven remote sites in Somalia, Sudan, Cape Verde, Ghana and Iraq, together with other point-to-point and point-to-multipoint networks from Germany to Africa and the Middle Eastern region.
CETel has also installed Newtec's EL170 IP Satellite Modulator, EL970 IP Satellite Demodulator equipment based on FlexACM® technology enabling advanced and most efficient output for broadband Internet services for a major telecommunication provider in Africa. CETel chose Newtec's DVB-S2 FlexACM technology to reduce bandwidth costs and increase revenue.
"The installation of the Newtec infrastructure has been the culmination of our drive to deliver higher quality and greater efficiency in our services," says Sergey Raber, Director Operations, CETel. "With the implementation of FlexACM, we can now achieve far more with our bandwidth, and guarantee availability of the link under conditions that would otherwise have caused a service failure. This increased efficiency has resulted in a return on investment within a few months of operation."
FlexACM is a unique end-to-end solution — combining a range of cutting edge technologies — for implementing ACM technology, IP shaping, compression and acceleration for highly efficient IP trunking and IP backbone satellite links. The implementation of FlexACM can result in a doubling of the data throughput in a given satellite segment while also guaranteeing 100 percent link availability and reducing operational costs (OPEX) by up to 50 percent. The unique and innovative patent-pending Noise and Distortion Estimator (NoDE) functionality increases the performance of the FlexACM powered satellite link through accurately monitoring the quality of the link and enabling optimum usage of satellite transponders.
"Communities in the Middle East and across the continent of Africa truly rely on these vitally important links with the rest of the world," says Serge Van Herck, CEO, Newtec. "With DVB-S2 and the unique advantages of our FlexACM technology, CETel can now provide a massive improvement in the quantity, quality and robustness of the service it provides to these often remote communities, while continuing to increase the profitability of their own operation."

Tony Cucchiara, protagonist of the Cantagiro, has died
The artist, who with his wife Nelly Fioramonti had formed a folk duo, would have turned 81 on October 30th
Corriere Della Serra
Tony Cucchiara is dead. The artist would have turned 81 on October 30th. Protagonist of the Cantagiro of 1962 and of the Sanremo Festival of 1972, he had gained popularity with the song "Annalisa" and had then formed a folk duo with his wife Nelly Fioramonti. The singer died prematurely in 1973, a few days after her 34th birthday, for the consequences of a difficult birth, in which her second child was born.
As well as being a singer - he was the one who innovated the genre of the musical -, he was also the author of television programs as well as a man of the theater. Born in Agrigento, Cucchiara had written numerous musical comedies including "Storie di periferia", "Tragicomica con musiche", "The Baroness of Carini", "Swing", "The Count of Montecristo" and "Pippin the Short" of which was protagonist Tuccio Musumeci in the role of the king of France, produced by the Teatro Stabile di Catania and also represented abroad. For 15 years he was one of the authors of "In famiglia", the Rai transmission of the director Michele Guardi 'with whom he had constituted - together with another agrigentino, the maestro Pippo Flora -, a long artistic association and friendship.
CUCCHIARA, Tony (Salvatore Cucchiara)

Q: Accessing a webserver from a cocoa application I am writing a cocoa application in which I want to download a file from a webserver. What will be the most convenient method to go about doing this? Should I go in for NSSockets or a NSUrlRequest? Or is there any other easier way to achieve this?

A: If you want to load the contents of the file into memory, many of the Cocoa data classes such as NSString, NSData and even NSDictionary have initWithURL: methods, which initialize directly with the contents of a web request. They're very easy to use, but they're not very flexible or provide for good error handling. NSURLConnection provides a more flexible way to load data if you need it.
If you want to download the file directly to disk, then NSURLDownload would be the best bet.

A: A word of warning: The initWithURL: methods are blocking, which is a big problem if the file is large, the server is slow, the user's internet connection is slow, etc. Don't call them from the main thread.
You also don't get any progress reporting, so when the download is slow, you have no way to tell the user how far along it is or how much longer it will take.
In almost all cases, you should use NSURLDownload or NSURLConnection instead.

A: The simplest thing to do is probably use NSURLDownload with NSURLRequest.

A: NSURLConnection is good if you want to get data from the web service into an NSString or NSData. Make sure you make asynchronous calls and handle errors and data in the NSURLConnection methods
Here's a good example for REST-style calls
http://kosmaczewski.net/2008/03/26/playing-with-http-libraries/

A: NSURLConnection does give you the most granularity, but be careful with NSURLConnection's sendSynchronousRequest() method.  It leaks memory each time (have attached the XCode Leak Instrumentation tool and run it to prove it to myself) and gives weird HTTP 204 responses for no reason at all on occasion.  I've blogged about this here

A: And another way is using libcurl, which comes preinstalled on any OS X system.  You'd better make sure System Settings like proxies etc. are respected though if you use this approach.

UK regions with the highest electricity bills

Merseyside and North Wales have seized the crown as the regions with the highest electricity bills in the UK, with households paying more than £800 on average per year.
Costs in these two areas saw a 7.5% increase last year alone, and are nearly £50 higher than the average yearly electric bills for the whole country.
This was also £100 more than in Northern Ireland, which came in as the cheapest area at £710 a year. Households paid 7% less on average per year here than the rest of Britain.
However, Northern Ireland is also the region where electricity bills have risen the fastest since 2017, with residents of Northern Ireland seeing a 36% jump in electricity costs in four years,
According to the latest data from energy experts Boiler Central, which analysed new government data from the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, North Scotland ranked second place as people forked out £795 on an annual basis, and £66 a month.
Those in North Scotland saw a hike of 7.4% in electricity prices in 2021, paying £30 more on average than the rest of the UK.

The South West, South Wales and the South East also had some of the highest electricity bills in the country last year. Bills in the South West are an average of £793 a year, while residents of South Wales and the South East pay £788 and £786 respectively.
Residents in the capital typically spent £769 a year, the data showed. However, as Londoners also have the highest average yearly wages of all regions surveyed (£31,878), they devote a smaller proportion of their annual salary to electricity bills than any other UK area. This is 17% less than the rest of the country.
Boiler Central said that over the past four years, the average UK electricity bill has jumped from £593 in 2017 to £765 in 2021.
"The explosion of electricity costs across the UK is reaching a crisis point," Myles Robinson, energy expert at Boiler Central, said. "With bills predicted to skyrocket a further £600 in the spring, it is becoming more and more impossible for families to meet these costs."
"Energy generation across the UK isn't equally powerful – while some regions have richer sources of fossil fuels and renewable energy, some regions struggle to generate energy as well as the rest of the UK, which leads to higher costs, and consumers having to pay a higher proportion of their wage towards energy.

He added: "While it's important for consumers to do what they can to reduce their energy costs at home – including checking their properties are well insulated and seeing if there are quick fixes they can enact to reduce heat loss such as bleeding radiators, switching off lights, and looking into smart thermostats which make your energy use more cost-effective – unless the UK comes up with solutions on a larger scale to reduce the cost of energy, we are likely to see rising bills for some time".
It comes as a total of 28 UK energy suppliers collapsed into administration late last year, displacing more than 4.3 million customers, due to a rise in wholesale natural gas prices.
Read more: What to do if your energy company goes bust
In September alone, nine suppliers went bust, while the biggest hit to the energy sector came in November when Bulb, which is three times larger than any other firm that has failed so far, announced it would be put into administration.
Reasons behind the dramatic increase in power prices include low gas reserves, strong commodity and carbon prices, heightened global demand, and low wind output.
As well as soaring prices, the energy price cap has also been putting pressure on energy firms, which restricts what companies can charge consumers. This means energy is being sold for less than it is bought for.
Households in Merseyside and North Wales saw the highest electricity bills on average per year. Chart: The Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy,
The price cap on energy bills has risen £139 to £1,277 a year on average. Some experts have predicted it could increase from £400 by April to an excess of £1,600 per year.
Britain's energy regulator Ofgem has set out plans that would allow it to more frequently adjust a price cap that limits electricity and gas bills for more than 15 million households.

The Biden administration is targeting a small group of meat packers for high beef, pork and poultry prices that it says are squeezing consumers and fueling inflation, arguing that they are abusing their market power. The U.S. meatpacking industry is dominated by a few global companies which say prices reflect a surge in demand, pandemic-constrained supplies, and rising costs for labor and transportation. "I think there's probably some truth on both sides," said David Anderson, a livestock economist at Texas A&M University, about the White House's battle with meat processors.

The blood flows to different parts of the body through the blood vessels. When a body tissue is injured, the damage likely indicates impaired blood vessel integrity which can lead to bleeding. If the body does not develop an effective clotting mechanism to prevent the bleeding, excessive amount of blood can be lost.
Blood clotting is the process by which the body prevents excessive loss of blood after damage to blood vessels. Platelets are the component of the blood responsible in the important process of clotting. But, the production of platelets can be altered by certain health conditions.
In some cases, the platelets are produced in excess which leads to the formation of blood clots without the incidence of injury to the tissues. The blood clot may form within the blood vessels. Some may develop in very crucial parts of the body such as the lungs, heart, and the brain. If you are seeking to learn how to know if you have a blood clot, below are symptoms you can identify.
The unnecessary formation of a blood clot will become a health risk to the person. A clot can block the flow of the blood essential in the transportation of oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.
An individual who develops blood clots in the blood vessels will become at risk of health problems. With the display of the symptoms of blood clot, a medical examination will be necessary in order to prevent progress towards any serious potential complication/s such as heart attack or stroke.
How do you know if you have a blood clot? Can you feel a blood clot? What does a blood clot feel like? Do blood clots hurt?
When a clot causes a blockage of the blood vessel, some of the affected organs will not receive enough blood supply. In some serious blood clot formations, the affected organs will not receive any supply of blood at all.
Blood is responsible for the transportation of oxygen and nutrients significant for energy production and normal functioning of tissues and cells in the body.
The obstruction of blood vessels will results to inadequate energy levels in the body, leading to general body weakness that is usually prominent in the arms and legs of the patient.
Pain in the chest area or under the breastbone is a common symptom of a blood clot located in major blood vessels of the lungs and heart.
The pain can be sharp and gradual. It can also be felt greater when the coughing or taking a deep breath.
The symptom usually occurs in the serious stages of the developed internal blood clot.
It is one of the signs of blood clot that can give indications that the lungs is possibly the main organ affected by the clot.
An abnormal formation of blood clot in the lungs will display coughing that is usually accompanied with a bloody mucus.
In many cases, the patient will be unable to explain any factors that may have triggered the coughing episodes. Such signs of a blood clot makes it very likely that the formation has taken place in the lungs or blood vessels that move blood to the lungs or from the lungs.
A gradual or sudden shortness of breath may also imply the presence of a blood clot. Shortness of breath can be a result of obstructions in blood arteries leading to oxygen deficiency. Therefore, other body tissues will also be affected, will not receive enough oxygen, due to the shortness of breath.
This can happen when the blood clot has clogged the blood vessels that directly supply blood to or from the lungs.
A shortness of breath can lead to oxygen deficiency in the body.
In order to correct the problem, the body increases the rate of respiration to cater for the deficiency.
An increase in the rate of breathing is normally aimed at ensuring every body part receives enough amount of oxygen.
The pumping of blood to different parts of the body is executed by the heart after being oxygenated in the lungs.
When a blood vessel becomes impassable, the body will struggle to make up for the lack of oxygen. One of the ways to mitigate the problem is by increasing the amount of blood that is pumped from the heart.
The pumping response of the heart will result to a display of increase in heart rate, higher compared to the normal rates at which the heart normally pumps the blood.
The brain controls most of the activities in the body. Among other symptoms of blood clots, the patient may experience a development of pain in the affected area, and the stress may also influence the onset of headaches.
Also, headaches certainly does have several causative factors but we can't disregard the fact that in some cases, the pain can be due to a blood clot. A clot that has caused obstruction in the blood vessels of the brain will mean inadequate amount of oxygen, resulting to persistent headache with no other known cause.
Constant and sufficient supply of oxygen is required by the brain to function properly. However, a blood clot that results to insufficient flow of blood to the brain will mean a reduced amount of oxygen is being delivered to the organ. Inadequate oxygen in the brain can lead to fainting.
The possibility of blood clot formation in the brain should be checked. Episodes of fainting is another symptom of blood clot that may culminate into complications such as stroke when not addressed early.
Furthermore, dizziness can be among the symptoms of a blood clot that may be experienced by the patient. This usually happens when the individual suddenly stands up after being seated for long hours.
A blood clot that forms in the arms or legs is common which may be characterized by the display of pain localized on the affected area.
Pain may be confined but is one of the most discomforting symptoms to experience with blood clots. It is usually described as a pain with no other probable cause that can be established. No external injury is causing the pain.
The pain is usually accompanied by a swelling of the affected part. The pain may be acute but in some cases, it increases over a period of time. Read about Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT).
The ability to see clearly can be compromised with the formation of a blood clot.
A person whose vision has suddenly become blurry, or experiences double vision may have developed a clot that is preventing blood to flow adequately to the brain.
Since the brain also controls vision, insufficient blood will affect the ability to see. In extreme cases, the blood clot may lead to permanent blindness.
Having understood how to tell if you have a blood clot, it is also worth noting that a blood clot may form without showing any of these symptoms.
Blood clotting is meant to be a very helpful process in response to injury. However, when it takes place unnecessarily, it can be very dangerous and may lead to serious difficulties such as stroke or even death.
The only way to be sure of the existence of a blood clot is undergoing medical tests. When any of mentioned symptoms is experienced, consider a medical consultation in order to determine possibility of blood clots and prevent further complications.
