Records show that prior to 1879, a school was located just west of this site. In 1890, Mr. Purdy sectioned off land to the Township so that a school could be built for his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. The stone building with a tin roof, built by 1900, replaced the original wooden structure, which had burned down. Most students who studied in this schoolhouse were Catholic, and teachers boarded next door with the Purdy family. The school closed in 1964 and was auctioned off. In 1986, Liz Ciesluk, a professional make-up artist with CJOH-TV, bought the school and lovingly restored it as a residence which is now owned by Brian Hull.
The "Jock" School is a quarried limestone building, constructed sometime prior to 1863. Records show that the original school was a log building, just west of the present site. It served families from the third and second concessions and from the Stapleton area. In 1907, there were twenty-six children at the school under Miss MacLaren. When it closed in the 1960s, it was put up for sale through a closed auction process by the Nepean School Board and is today owned by Bill Laughland. He converted the building into a private residence, putting an addition onto the front façade.
This stone building is on Franktown Road, just west of Dwyer Hill Road. It is attached to the back of a private residence. In 1915, it had an enrolment of 12 students.
S.S. No. 5 Goulbourn is situated in the beautiful, tranquil historical setting of Munster Hamlet. Pioneer life revolved around the school, which was built in 1890 on land that belonged to William Shillington. The building is edged with quoins and trimmed with voussoirs and the walls are of cut ashlar stone with the entrance on the same level as the rest of the structure. This school closed in 1967, and the building can now be rented out for wedding receptions, corporate and special events.
A log school existed west of this site before 1863. About 1875, a frame building was erected on Mansfield Road just east of Conley Road. In 1953, the school was the setting for the production of a BBC TV film in connection with Queen Elizabeth's coronation. It closed in 1967 and is now being used as a residence.
A wooden schoolhouse originally was located at the northeast corner of Dwyer Hill Road and Flewellyn Road before 1863. This building was replaced by a stone schoolhouse in 1874. Former teachers include Margaret Swain, Irene Lynch, Helen Donnolly and Lillian Hobbs. In 1936, a well was drilled to supply the daily water. This stone schoolhouse was burned down about 20 years ago.
This school was originally a log building located at Stanley's Corners on the south side of what is now Flewellyn Road, opposite Black's Road. It was replaced with another schoolhouse located a little to the east. In 1870, a new frame schoolhouse was built on the north side of the road, opposite the previous school. In 1927, this was replaced with a new brick schoolhouse at a cost of $4,500.
After it ceased being a school with the opening of Goulbourn Township Public School at Stanley's Corners, it served as the home of Holy Spirit Catholic Mission from 1967 to 1973. During this time, a major addition was added to the rear of the building. The building is currently a residence with a home business. A cross is still located on the top of the bell tower, a remnant from the days of its use as a Catholic church.
Prior to 1881, a log school was located on what is now Flewellyn Road east of Shea Road near the Faulkner Trail. It was destroyed by fire in 1881 and replaced by a white frame schoolhouse on Fallowfield Road at a cost of $390. In 1924, the frame schoolhouse was replaced by a brick schoolhouse with a basement, which cost over $5,000. Former teachers include Miss McCord, Allan McWhirl, Allan Robertson and Austin Dillon. In the 1930s, Lillian Hobbs walked ¾ mile there and back each day for seven years as a student through snow, huge drifts, rain and floodwaters. This brick schoolhouse is still standing today and is used as a private residence by Robin Kollesh.
The school closed in 1965. A private house now stands at the site southeast of Richmond, on Century Road just opposite Malakoff Road.

All Saints bought by Lion Capital and Goode Partners
After talks of a possible takeover by Lebanese group M1 fell through in May, then the same thing again with American investment firm MSD Capital in April, All Saints Spitafields has finally found new financial partners. Lion Capital and Goode Partners, two private equity firms from the UK and the US respectively, teamed up in order to buy the British ready-to-wear brand and thus pay down its debts.

All Saints found itself in a difficult financial situation following the bankruptcy in 2008 of two Icelandic banks, Kaupthing and Glitnir, which both held a majority stake in the business. Under pressure from Lloyds Banking Group, its main lender bank, the brand's president Kevin Stanford finally managed to sign a deal which, according to the British press, involved a rescue package of nearly 105 million pounds (118 million euros). This was nevertheless below the 140 million pounds that estimates had predicted at the beginning of the year. In this new scheme, the president should be left with no more than a 10% stake in the company, while Goode Partners takes 15% and Lion Capital the remaining 75%. The latter also funds La Senza and American Apparel.
"We are very excited to invest in a brand with such enormous international potential. - said Lion Capital partner Lyndon Lea - AllSaints, in our view, combines leading product and store design with an online presence well beyond many other retailers of its size".
Today, All Saints consists of 63 stores and 47 concessions in the UK, Europe and the US. Kevin Stanford and chief executive Stephen Craig will continue in their roles during this new stage in All Saints' history.

According to Mckinsey, the technology will progress more in the coming decade than we experienced in the last 100 years. Understanding and updating to these technologies on-time will help the companies to return their investments in good place. They can avoid the downsides of any negative impacts too. The pace of progress within the technological segment has continuously been brisk. A long 10 years of development in the e-commerce industry, happened in just 3 months in late 2019. Below mentioned are the 10 top technologies that may have major progress in the upcoming years.
1. Process automation and virtualisation
In the upcoming decades, about half of the existing work will be automated. The process automation and virtualisation will be very common. By 2020, about 50 devices will be able to connect to the IIoT.
2. The future of connectivity
The fastest network like 5G has a very crucial role in the economic development. So application of such networks in all the sectors like health care, manufacturing and retail industry could raise the global GDP substantially by 2030.
3. Distributed infrastructure
By the end of this year, 70% of the companies would be utilising multi-cloud or hybrid cloud platforms as a part of distributed infrastructure in IT segments. These clouds will be handling the data and processing but made reachable to devices faster. This would help organisations to enhance the agility and speed.
4. Next-generation computing
Experts believe that, the next generation computing may solve many questions raised by science and technologies for years and would also provide countless openings for business opportunities.
Soon all the industries will be shifting from to quantum cryptography and all the first-wave industries must safeguard their data.
5. Applied Artificial Intelligence
Being one of the biggest tech trends, we are still in the early development of AI. Many of the companies are making use of AI effectively for their business. When the AI gets more progress, this can be used in the development of technology based tools.
6. Future of Programming
All the advanced technologies like machine learning, AI and automation will pave the way for a novel kind of programming using less codes or no code at all. And the creation of software applications may be more powerful than we use today.
7. Trust Architecture
Despite of the advanced cyber securities, we had to compromise numerous data records. As the technology advances, criminals also doubling their breaching skills. A growing tech trend in 2021, trust architecture provide help to fight against cyber crime by making it more cost-effective for companies.
8. Bio Revolution
Bio revolution ensures the progress of gene therapies, genetic-based guidance on food, hyper-customized medicines with the help of AI, automation and DNA sequencing. This a redefining ingenious innovation happened in life science and would bring new markets in the coming decades.
9. Next-generation materials
The studies and developments that happen in the world of material science have the capability of changing the market in all aspects. Industries like pharmacy, health, transportation and manufacturing are all on the way to bring the change in their respective sectors. The next generation materials are highly efficient, that include graphene- a layer of carbonated atoms placed in hexagon pattern. This is designed to be more stronger than steel, amazingly thin and a very good conductor.
10. Future of clean tech trends
With the rising of global warming, many countries started adopting cleaner resources, energy, fuel and technologies. The costs related to clean technology trends became less and their use becomes more wide-spread. Start-up companies started focusing on the substantial alterations in their business procedures according to the clean tech trends.

Bay Area man tells court he served as agent for China
Posted 6:11 PM, November 25, 2019, by Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — A former San Francisco Bay Area tour operator agreed Monday to plead guilty to serving as an unregistered agent for China in exchange for a possible reduced prison sentence.
Xuehua Edward Peng agreed in court to a four-year prison term and a fine of $30,000 in a plea deal negotiated with prosecutors after they charged him with being an illegal foreign agent who delivered U.S. national security information to officials in China.
U.S. District Judge Haywood S. Gilliam Jr., however, declined to accept the plea deal until sentencing, which is scheduled in March.
Peng, 57, is a naturalized U.S. citizen in federal custody since late September when he was arrested at his Hayward residence to the surprise of neighbors, who knew him as a nice person with a taste for luxury cars.
On Monday, he appeared in red inmate garb and spoke through a Mandarin interpreter. He told the judge that he understood the terms of the agreement and that he was guilty. It did not appear that he had family or other supporters in the room.
Prosecutors said Peng, under orders from a handler in China, left cash in hotel rooms in exchange for classified national security information on small electronic storage devices.
The U.S. was never at risk since the information left for Peng was provided by an FBI double agent who had also been approached for spy-work by the Chinese government but decided to inform the U.S. government instead, prosecutors have said.
In the plea agreement, Peng said he was approached by a state security official with China during a business trip in 2015 and agreed to collect and deliver information. He made six trips between 2015 and 2018, leaving as much as $20,000 in envelopes at a time.
"I was never informed of the contents of these devices and at no time learned what information was stored on them," Peng said in the plea agreement.
Peng was paid "at least $30,000 for the acts" he performed as a courier, according to the agreement. Communications were done by telephone at first and then by the encrypted chat platform WeChat.
A seventh drop scheduled for August 2019 was delayed. Peng was arrested the next month.
Daniel Olmos, one of Peng's attorneys, declined to comment after the hearing. "The plea speaks for itself," he said.
If convicted at trial, Peng could face a maximum of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Investigators described him as a sight-seeing operator in the San Francisco area for Chinese visitors and students. Public records list Peng as president of U.S. Tour and Travel in San Francisco, but no website for the company was found.
Peng entered the country in 2001 on a temporary business visa. He became a lawful permanent resident in 2006 following his marriage and was naturalized in September 2012.
He has a background in mechanical engineering and is licensed in California as an acupuncturist.
A magistrate judge denied his earlier request for a free federal lawyer, saying he had too many assets, and refused to let him out on bail given that he had an apartment and a mistress in China.
FBI Director Christopher Wray has said China poses a more serious counterintelligence threat to the U.S. than any other country, including Russia

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — A New York City Councilman was credited Monday with rescuing a pregnant cat from the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway.
It was later discovered that the cat had been shot with a gun.
Councilman Stephen Levin (D-33rd) — who represents the Brooklyn sections of Williamsburg, Greenpoint, DUMBO, Brooklyn Heights, Downtown Brooklyn, Boerum Hill, and Parts of Bedford-Stuyvesant – caught the cat from the busy highway this past weekend, according to the Brooklyn Animal Resource Coalition.
He was scratched in the process of rescuing the stray cat, but was able to catch her successfully, the shelter said.
Levin took the cat to the shelter, located at 253 Wythe Ave. in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. A veterinarian discovered that the cat had been shot, and the bullet was still lodged in her right hip, the shelter said.
Further examination revealed that the cat was pregnant, the shelter said. The unborn kittens appeared to be safe.
It was also determined that the cat had been abused for years, and new and old wounds and scars were discovered, the shelter said. The cat's paw pads had been ripped off, and her toes were badly bruised, the shelter said.
The shelter named the pregnant cat Loretta. She was recovering from surgery as of Monday night, and will be available for adoption once she is fully recovered and gives birth to her litter.
The shelter is also accepting donations to Loretta's surgery fund at its website, or at (718) 486-7489.

How can Clapham and Stockwell be transformed into places where adults and children feel safe and comfortable cycling around?
Clapham and Stockwell are important residential, leisure and commercial centres within Lambeth which people from across the borough and from further afield travel to. These areas are well provided for by public transport and have some of the lowest levels of car ownership in the UK. And yet the area is dominated by motor traffic with major routes along the A3 at Clapham High Street and Clapham Road, the A205 South Circular and the A203 South Lambeth Road.
Although improved over the past 10 years many Clapham and Stockwell roads remain intimidating; not just to children but also to many people who would cycle if it were made pleasant to do so. These areas have very cycle friendly routes available across the Common, along London Cycle Network Route 3 and potentially with all the Old Town improvements being undertaken but in many cases these fail to adequately link up with other roads and so cyclists are forced back on to fast moving routes. Cycle Superhighway 5 promotes a fast route for commuters up to the city and West end but can feel dangerous outside of rush hour times when there is a sense of safety in numbers..
What changes need to be made for Clapham and Stockwell to become places where people of all ages cycle without fear to friends, to shops, to school, or to work? How can we make Space for Cycling?
This is the fourth in a series of five monthly meetings around Lambeth providing a chance to meet Lambeth Cyclists, the borough group of the London Cycling Campaign, and discuss the neighbourhood changes needed to make cycling the easy and obvious choice for local journeys.
If you live in, work in, or travel through Clapham Common, Clapham Town, Ferndale or Stockwell wards then please come along.


It was quite an interesting weekend for Franck Ribery.
The former France international was on holiday with his family in Dubai, and took the time out to go and see his good friend 'Salt Bae' – a highly regarded Turkish Chef.
'Salt' owns a series of steak restaurants and Ribery went along to try a £1000 sirloin covered in gold dust, leaving his social media following gobsmacked at the cost.
From there, Ribery launched into one of the most foul-mouthed tirades that has ever been witnessed in the game, which left many football fans shocked and appalled. Munich are set to fine Ribery as much as they can and unsurprisingly, the player has agreed.
Although Ribery's outburst didn't take place on the pitch, it got us thinking about some of the best meltdowns the game has seen in recent times.
Here, we take a look at eight of the best from yesteryear.
Cristiano Ronaldo is a man of endless talent but he can't always keep his cool, justifying that he is in fact human! The Juventus star was representing Portugal on their way to Euro 2016 success, but a single question from a journalist got the better of him.
Ronaldo was taking a stroll with his Portugal teammates when the journalist interrupted, causing the former Real Madrid star to lob his microphone into a lake in Lyon!
Chelsea's Champions League semi-final exit to Barcelona in 2009 is only remembered for one thing. Referee Tom Henning Ovrebo denied the Blues at least four penalties throughout the tie and after a last-gasp Andreas Iniesta equaliser, saw the Spaniards progress to the final.
For striker Didier Drogba, it all got a bit too much and the Ivorian challenged Ovrebo after the final whistle. Perhaps it wasn't the nature of Drogba's rant, but the fact he was wearing flip flops whilst giving Ovrebo a piece of his mind made it all the more memorable.
In some respects, Paolo Di Canio's shove on referee Paul Alcock in 1998 is still one of the most iconic Premier League moments, but for all the wrong reasons. The maverick Italian had just been giving his marching orders by Alcock before he decided to push him over!
After trying to kick lumps out of Patrick Viera and Martin Keown, Alcock produced a red card which seemed to fuel Di Canio's fire even further as he sent the ref tumbling to the ground. An 11 game ban was issued to Di Canio.
Italian legend Gianluigi Buffon caused quite the stir during the Champions League quarter-finals in 2018. The Juventus goalkeeper was so incensed that Real Madrid had just been awarded a last-gasp penalty, he aimed his frustrations at English referee Michael Oliver.
According to The Independent, Buffon tarnished Oliver with a range of expletives as his frustrations boiled over, as Juventus were denied a chance of progressing to the semi-finals. Buffon was sent off for dissent and Real scored the resulting penalty. That absent Champions League medal was clearly on Buffon's mind as he didn't hold back. But how would the 40-year-old feel if Juve did go on to win it this year? A mixture of emotions you'd assume but all the latest Champions League prices are available here: https://www.betfair.com/exchange/plus/football/competition/228.
If Di Canio's push on Alcock was bad then Eric Cantona's kung-fu kick on a Crystal Palace fan was damn right atrocious. The Manchester United legend had just been giving his marching orders and was vacating the Selhurst Park pitch.
Palace fan Matthew Simmons was seen to be directing abuse towards the former Leeds United player and the forward completely lost his cool and aimed the kick right into Simmons' midriff. An 11 month ban was the punishment for Cantona.
One of the more light-hearted melodramas football has seen in recent times involved a certain Georgian midfielder plying his trade at Newcastle United. Temuri Ketsbaia, who graced St James Park from 1997 – 2000, went a little bit over the top when he scored a last minute winner against Bolton Wanderers in 1998.
Instead of celebrating by wheeling away in jubilation, Ketsbaia lashed out at the advertising hoardings and promptly kicked it to declare his frustrations at falling down the first-team pecking order. That's one way to show the manager, eh!
Not if you're Kieron Dyer and Lee Bowyer. The midfielders were both playing for Newcastle when instead of fighting for the cause (0-3 down to Villa at home), they turned on each other in one of the most extraordinary moments English football has seen.
The game was already lost when the duo turned on each other in an off-the-ball incident that saw Dyer grapple with Bowyer. The latter appeared to throw two punches at Dyer before Villa's Gareth Barry tried to keep the peace and separate the warring pair.
What a way to announce your retirement from the game.
Zinedine Zidane – who led France to World Cup glory in 1998 – quite literally lost his head during the 2006 World Cup final against Italy. With the game locked at 1-1, Zidane was engaged in what seemed like a trivial exchange of words with opposing defender Marco Materazzi.
Whatever was said riled Zidane so much that the French legend aimed and landed a devastating headbutt on his victim. Materazzi was rolling around in agony and Zidane was quickly given his marching orders. His last ever act as a professional footballer.


Recently we've tried out a few different activities. In my corner I have a multitude of repair work, and other things to do. Willow and Gabriel have some pants needing to be fixed, as do I, and there are a few other bits there too. For my brother, Justin, I am crocheting a hat as a very early Christmas present, before he heads off to Germany later in the year. I'm also still in the middle of doing Damien a jumper- I'm now onto the front, but unfortunately with all this other work I'm not quite getting through it quickly enough for him. On the plus side I have finished the corduroy pants of mine that I was redecorating into 3/4 pants, so that's one thing off the list.
Homeschool wise we've been trying out a few things. Last week we made pompoms, with varying success depending on the thickness of the wool. I read it works better to have a very fine ply, but we wanted to try a few colours, and some of the thicker ones really didn't work all that well. Still it was a fun exercise, and they look quite nice hanging in our carport.
Today we tried out making our own felted sheets. We're not sure yet if it was a success- they're still drying, so time will tell. I found a method using sushi mats, so since we have an abundance of them that seemed perfect. It was a bit tricky with Elessar, he was very enthused to join in, and help with laying the wool. If it comes out nicely I plan to use some on the slippers I'm making for Gabriel.
Gabriel has just felted his first bit of knitting and sewn it into a beautiful pillow for his doll.
And Willow is still working on knitting her baby booties, they're coming on a little slowly, but very nicely.

As a Film and Media Arts major at Temple University, Dubin is influenced by the city of Philadelphia and all the opportunities it has given her when it comes to concert photography and working with amazing bands. With the city's inspiration, she was able to turn a high-school hobby, The Duby Scoop, into a production brand.
With a few music videos under her belt, along with work in various publications, Dubin has a lot to say about her rise in the photography and music industries, as well as where she hopes to go in the future.

Antoine Ernest Massiou est un architecte français né le  à La Rochelle et décédé le  à La Rochelle.

Biographie
Ernest Massiou est le fils de Louis Eutrope Massiou, entrepreneur de travaux publics, maire de Saint-Rogatien, et de Marie Brossard (sœur d'Antoine Brossard).

Admis à l'École des beaux-arts de Paris en 1846, il étudie dans l'atelier de Joseph Uchard et se lie d'amitié avec William Bouguereau.

Architecte adjoint de la Ville de La Rochelle et architecte départemental pour l'arrondissement de La Rochelle en 1851, il est chargé des travaux aux bâtiments départementaux des arrondissements de La Rochelle, Rochefort et Marennes l'année suivante, avant d'être nommé architecte en chef du département de la Charente-Inférieure (1855-1873). En 1873, il est nommé architecte diocésain, puis, en 1897, architecte ordinaire des monuments historiques.

Membre de la commission consultative des travaux publics du département dès sa création, de l'Union syndicale des architectes français et de la Caisse de défense mutuelle des architectes, il est l'un des fondateurs de la Société régionale des architectes du Poitou et de la Saintonge (1889) et directeur du musée de peinture de La Rochelle.

Kurzfassung: This paper investigates the optimal power routing problem in relay-based cooperative networks, where the relays are arbitrarily positioned. We generalize the standard shortest path routing algorithm (GSPRA) to find an minimum-power distributed MIMO multi-hop route from a source to a destination while satisfying a given e2e outage probability demand. The task of the proposed approach includes how to group relays to virtual antenna array (VAA) and discover the optimal multi-hop path. Instead of using per hop (or link) constraint, which is assumed by most of the existing routing algorithm, an e2e outage probability constraint is assumed for more relevance and freedom in practical systems. Under the concept of virtual node and virtual link, an efficient power allocation solution for general distributed MIMO multi-hop networks is used to calculate link costs for the shortest path algorithm. The proposed routing approach can fully exploit the merits of both cooperative communications and multi-hop transmissions. The significant power savings due to the proposed approach in comparison to the existing algorithms is demonstrated by numerical results.

Six Months Later...
A frosty winter morning.
The French countryside in winter.
The strangely square park in my town, dusted with snow.
High School Abroad in France
Suzanna S.
Time moves along so quickly…
It's been a full six months since I arrived here in France. I feel like it's been only one. I suppose that's because I thought I would progress a little faster than I did, but then again, being submersed into a new language and culture is like starting over from scratch.
At the beginning, I was a little like a baby; pointing and asking "what's that" or primarily using hand gestures to communicate. Most of all (and this is the most important part), I listened. On the bus, in the halls, at the dinner table. It was like deciphering a code. The most gratifying accomplishment is to figure out a word without using a dictionary, and only from context. The only drawback is that afterwards, I'm not always sure how it's spelled.
A lot of words in French sound exactly the same but are spelled much different and mean wildly different things. For instance, "il chante" (he sings) sounds identical to "ils chantent" (they sing). Or "pris" (took) and "prix" (price). So I'm always in a grand state of confusion amidst a sea of same sounding words meaning different things. "Torture a tortue" (torture a turtle), my friend Alice says to me all the time, because for the life of me I can never discern the r sound and they seem exactly alike. Language is always complicated. I'm not saying that English is any easier, what with too, to, and two. For those going on exchange; it's perfectly fine to not understand, to ask "peut-tu repeter s'il te plaît?" (can you repeat please?). Being confused only means that you put energy into actually listening to what someone said rather than just blocking out the other language.
I will admit that sometimes French turns into white noise. Especially in math class. It's much easier to recede into the process of my own thoughts, because my brain speaks in English. However, if I did that all the time (math class is an exception), it would be useless to be in a different country at all. Focus is key. Even more so when you're wondering whether or not you'll ever be fluent; listening will do the most good compared to anything else.
Listen to the people around you; I think you'll be surprised at what you might find.

Inspiration: I know that you are all "fashioned out" so to speak, but I don't consider this a 100% fashion photo but rather a portrait of business woman whom I admire tremendously - Natalie Massenet, founder and CEO of Net-A-Porter. For a color photo, check out The Photodiarist in Color. Geez - she looks so trim and chic . . . which reminds me, I need to go to the gym now. This morning will be my first time on a treadmill in months. Months and months and months, actually. And now I feel gross! I blame overwork, an overwhelming desire to sleep in every morning, slippage down the road of unhealthy eating, laziness and so on but whatever the case, I've experienced some jiggling here and there that has me freaked out and now totally inspired to unjiggle myself ASAP.
Inspiration: Did I say I was off the internet? Well . . . I am waiting around for my car to head to the airport and so wanted to post this photo! This guy is a regular in the park. Always rocking out. Always. Again -- Happy Holidays everyone! I am out for reals this time. See you next week.
Inspiration: I've gone back to my covert photography . . . at least for now. Happy Holidays everyone. I will be off the internet until after Christmas! BTW, I hope you get some good canoodling in this holiday season!
Inspiration: Aww . . . love this.
Inspiration: Love her glasses (even though I can see myself in a most unflattering stance taking her photo) and her oversized clutch.
Inspiration: Life is Beautiful . . . especially on a Friday after a long week. Happy weekend everyone.
Inspiration: I'm loving the word "extravaganza" these days. Don't ask me why 'cause I couldn't tell you. I just fall in love with how certain words sound, you know? In any event, this photo seemed a perfect opportunity to use it. What an extravaganza of prints and patterns already!


The diversity and classification of life will be studied, including animals, plants, protists, fungi, and prokaryotes. Special emphasis will be given to anatomy, physiology, ecology, and evolution of plants and animals. Laboratory activities are designed to reinforce lecture topics.
Prerequisite: Students must be college ready in reading, by means of appropriate exemption score by TSI or alternative test; or by completing READ 0306, or READ 0307, or DIRW 0326, or ESOL 0325 with a "C"or better, or by completing READ 0208 or ESOL 0226 with a passing grade.
Recommended: MATH 1314 – Successful completion of College Algebra or concurrent enrollment in higher-level mathematics is recommended. It is also recommended that BIOL 1406, Biology for Science Majors I, be taken before BIOL 1407.
This is a Core Course in the 42-Hour Core Curriculum of Blinn College. As such, students will develop proficiency in the appropriate Intellectual Competencies, Exemplary Educational Objectives, and Perspectives.
Illustrate the relationship between major geologic change, extinctions, and evolutionary trends.
Use critical thinking and scientific problem-solving to make informed decisions in the laboratory.
Textbook: Campbell Biology, 9th Edition, 2011. Reece, Urry, Cain, Wasserman, Minorsky, and Jackson. Pearson Education, Inc.
Access to the Internet is REQUIRED. Internet access at home would certainly be a plus, however, all students at Blinn College and/or Texas A&M have computing resources available to them. The Open Computer Labs at Blinn College are located in Rooms H-225 and L-258, and the Library. If you are not familiar with these, see me or inquire at the Learning Center in the Library Building, L-258, for more details, ASAP.
The final exam will be comprehensive and be worth 200 points. The exam will consist of a minimum of 100 multiple choice questions. The number of questions on the exam will depend in part on how much untested material is covered prior to the exam. The maximum number will be 125. You will have 2 hours to complete this exam.
There will be four lecture exams this semester. Your top three exams will each be worth 100 points. The lowest exam will be down-weighted 50% and will equate to 50 points. Exams can include multiple choice, true/false, fill-in-the-blank, short answer and essay questions. Make-up exams are only offered to students with an excused absence. Excused absences include those officially recognized by Blinn College, plus a death in the family, or an illness with a doctor's certification. To arrange for a make-up exam see me during the first class period following your absence. An unexcused absence from an exam will result in a grade of zero.
There will be three lab exams each worth 75 points. These will be administered in a "practicum" format. Wherever possible exam questions will involve visual identification, interpretation, and or analysis of materials. No make-up exams will be offered for lab exams. An unexcused absence from an exam will result in a grade of zero.
Regular daily quizzes will cover recent topics, activities, or assigned readings from the lecture. Quizzes will be administered at the beginning of class. No additional time will be allotted for students arriving late and No make-up quizzes will be accepted or administered. The top 10 scores will be averaged to calculate your grade for this category (% x 75).
Each lab assignments and will be scored out of 5 points. Most lab exercises will be completed during the lab period. Worksheets turned in at the end of the period or summative questions at the end of the class period will serve as lab grades. No late work or make-up will be accepted or administered. The lowest two lab grades will be dropped. Your grade for this category will be your lab work % x 75.
I will be using Mastering Biology to assign homework on a regular basis. Like your lab work, this will be an averaged cateogory and the lowest two grades will be dropped. The average on your homework assignments will be taken out of 75 points (% x 75).
These quizzes will be administered through our eCampus classroom. They will serve as your only opportunity to generate BONUS points for this class. Except for Chapter 1, there will be a quiz available for each full chapter we cover during the semester. Availability will vary, but in general, I have set each chapter quiz to open at 8am the day we are set to cover that content in lecture. They will close out at noon when the exam covering this material is scheduled in class. If you miss one do not panic, only your top 8 quiz grades will be counted for a maximum possible of 40 points. Since there will be at least 15 quizzes this should not be a problem. You are encouraged to attempt them all however as they should provide good practice for your lecture exams.
Each quiz is worth 5 points and will consist of 10 multiple choice questions that must be completed in a 20minutes.
Final Grade: The following point totals will ensure the final grade as listed.
Members of the Blinn College community, which includes faculty, staff and students, are expected to act honestly and responsibly in all aspects of campus life. Blinn College holds all members accountable for their actions and words. Therefore, all members should commit themselves to behave in a manner that recognizes personal respect and demonstrates concern for the personal dignity, rights, and freedoms of every member of the College community, including respect for College property and the physical and intellectual property of others.
Civility Notification Statement. If a student is asked to leave the classroom because of uncivil behavior, the student may not return to that class until he or she arranges a conference with the instructor; it is the student's responsibility to arrange for this conference.
This statement reflects step one in a possible four step process. The Incivility Protocol is detailed in the Blinn College Student Handbook.
The College District believes that class attendance is essential for student success; therefore, students are required to promptly and regularly attend all their classes. A record of attendance will be maintained from the first day of classes and/or the first day the student's name appears on the roster through final examinations. If a student has one week's worth of unexcused absences during the semester, he or she will be sent an e-mail by the College District requiring the student to contact his or her instructor and schedule a conference immediately to discuss his/her attendance issues. Should the student accumulate two weeks' worth of unexcused absences, he or she will be administratively withdrawn from class.
Other absences may be considered excused at the discretion of the faculty member with appropriate documentation. A student enrolled in a developmental course is subject to College District-mandated attendance policies. Failure to attend developmental classes shall result in removal from the course as defined by the College District.
It is the student's responsibility to officially drop a class he or she is no longer attending. To officially drop a class the student must obtain the class withdrawal form from Enrollment Services, complete the class withdrawal form, secure the required signatures, and return the completed form to Enrollment Services. The last day to drop with a Q is according to the Academic Calendar.
Blinn College does not tolerate cheating, plagiarism, or any other act of dishonesty with regard to the course in which you are enrolled. The following text defines the faculty member's responsibility with regard to the scholastic integrity expectation for this and all courses at Blinn College.
It is the responsibility of faculty members to maintain scholastic integrity at the College District by refusing to tolerate any form of scholastic dishonesty. Adequate control of test materials, strict supervision during testing, and other preventive measures should be utilized, as necessary, to prevent cheating or plagiarism. If there is compelling evidence that a student is involved in cheating or plagiarism, the instructor should assume responsibility and address the infraction. Likewise, any student accused of scholastic dishonesty is entitled to due process as outlined in Blinn College Board Policy FLB (Local). The Scholastic Integrity Policy is located in the Blinn College Student Handbook. In a case of scholastic dishonesty, it is critical that written documentation be maintained at each level throughout the process.
Blinn College is dedicated to providing the least restrictive learning environment for all students. Support services for students with documented disabilities are provided on an individual basis, upon request. Requests for services should be made directly to the Office of Special Populations serving the campus of your choice. For the Bryan campus, the Office of Special Populations (Administration Building) can be reached at (979)209-7251 . The Brenham, Sealy and Schulenburg campuses are served by the Office of Special Populations on the Brenham campus (Administration Building Room 104) and can be reached at (979)830-4157 .

Well, being skeptical about Christianity doesn't necessarily mean you doubt the existence of God. Maybe you just aren't quite sold on the idea of Creationism because of the overwhelming evidence and hard science that backs evolution. Maybe you believe Jesus existed but aren't quite sure about his whole resurrection story. Or maybe you you're not certain about the omnipotence of God.

The First Four: Travis Toews, Brian Jean, Danielle Smith and Todd Loewen enter the United Conservative Party leadership race
10 Comments on The First Four: Travis Toews, Brian Jean, Danielle Smith and Todd Loewen enter the United Conservative Party leadership race
Former finance minister Travis Toews launched his United Conservative Party leadership bid this week with a social media video.
The race has started.
Four candidates have filed their intent with Elections Alberta to join the race to replace Jason Kenney as leader of the United Conservative Party:
Travis Toews: Finance Minister since 2019. MLA for Grande Prairie-Wapiti since 2019. Former president of the Canadian Cattleman's Association. Looks comfortable in a business suit or Carhartts. Sounds like the adult in the room but is connected to a northern Alberta Bible college with some fairly backwards views about yoga and same-sex relationships. Probably one of the more hardline fiscal conservatives in the UCP cabinet. Grand champion of the 1976 4-H calf show in Hythe. Likely UCP establishment favourite.
Brian Jean during his 2017 bid for the United Conservative Party leadership.
Brian Jean: Leader of the Wildrose Party from 2015 to 2017. Target of a kamikaze campaign during the 2017 UCP leadership race. MLA for Fort McMurray-Lac La Biche since 2022. MLA for Fort McMurray-Conklin from 2015 to 2018. MP for Fort McMurray-Athabasca from 2004 to 2014. Toyed with COVID skepticism and Alberta separatism. Jason Kenney's worst enemy. Lawyer, businessman and Golden Boy of Fort McMurray.
Danielle Smith: Leader of the Wildrose Party from 2009 to 2014. MLA for Highwood from 2012 to 2015. Crossed the floor to the Progressive Conservative Party in 2014. Calgary public school trustee from 1998 to 1999. Alumna of the Fraser Institute, Canadian Federation of Independent Business, Calgary Herald, Global TV, and Chorus Radio. Current President of the Alberta Enterprise Group. Running for the UCP nomination in Livingstone-Macleod. Embraced COVID conspiracy theories.
Independent MLA Todd Loewen
Todd Loewen: MLA for Central Peace-Notley since 2019. MLA for Grande Prairie-Smoky from 2015 to 2019 and Wildrose candidate in the riding in 2008 and 2012. Resigned as UCP Caucus chair in 2021 after calling on Kenney to resign and was kicked out of caucus the next day. Formed a UCP Caucus-in-exile with fellow ousted MLA Drew Barnes. Drove his motorhome in the Freedom Convoy to Ottawa. Renowned in the UCP Caucus for his pancake cooking skills.
These four have registered others are expected.
Rajan Sawhney
Transportation Minister and Calgary-North East MLA Rajan Sawhney has tapped longtime conservative strategist Ken Boessenkool to run her exploratory committee.
"[W]hat this race needs right now is just not more of the same," Sawhney told reporters in a statement.
Children's Services Minister and Calgary-Shaw MLA Rebecca Schultz isn't in the race yet but already has an endorsement from former Saskatchewan premier Brad Wall. Schultz worked for Wall's government before she moved to Alberta in 2016.
Government House leader and chief Kenney lieutenant Jason Nixon is rumoured to be thinking about running.
So are former cabinet ministers Leela Aheer and Devin Dreeshen.
And Calgary Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner is rumoured to be testing the waters. She would be an interesting addition to the race, though recent history has not been kind to federal politicians jumping into provincial politics in Alberta.
The party has appointed a committee that is expected to release rules, entry requirements and timelines for the leadership race before the beginning of summer.
UDPATE! Village of Amisk mayor Bill Rock has registered with Elections Alberta to run in the UCP leadership race. Rock was the Wildrose Party candidate in the Wetaskiwin-Camrose riding in the 2015 election. He was parachuted into the riding after previously nominated candidate Gordon Hatch withdrew from the race and endorsed PC MLA Verlyn Olson following Danielle Smith's floor-crossing.
Note: Registering as a candidate with Elections Alberta does not mean automatic approval as a candidate by the UCP. Registering with Election Alberta allows the candidates to fundraise under Alberta's current political finance rules.

No, reforming Alberta's Labour Laws will not kill democracy.
2 Comments on No, reforming Alberta's Labour Laws will not kill democracy.
A screenshot of a Keep Alberta Working campaign video.
It won't come as a surprise to many political watchers in Alberta that the most vocal critics of the NDP government's yet to be announced reforms to Alberta's outdated labour laws have strong ties to the province's Conservative establishment.
"Keep Alberta Working" is a campaign of the "Alberta Growth Initiative," which is a coalition of the Alberta Hotel and Lodging Association, the Canadian Meat Council, Restaurants Canada and the Alberta Enterprise Group. Unsurprisingly, the campaign has ties to Conservative lobbyists connected with United Conservative Party leadership candidate Jason Kenney.
According to publicly available information on the province's Lobbyist Registry, New West Public Affairs, a company run by former Conservative Member of Parliament Monte Solberg, is the registered lobbyist for the Alberta Growth Initiative group. Solberg served alongside Kenney as a Reform and Canadian Alliance MP, and later in Prime Minster Stephen Harper's cabinet.
The media contact person listed on the press release announcing the "Keep Alberta Working" campaign is New West employee Sonia Kont, who is also president of the Progressive Conservative youth-wing and an ardent Kenney supporter. Also thrown into the mix is prolific tweeter Blaise Boehmer, who worked for Solberg's company as a senior associate until leaving in 2016 to become Communications Director on Kenney's leadership campaign.
The Keep Alberta Working campaign has been harshly critical of the NDP government's plans to reform Alberta's labour laws, some of which have remained untouched since the 1970s. The group was fair to criticize the relatively short consultation period the NDP government allowed for when preparing the reforms, but its claims that the NDP could destroy democracy by introducing a card-check system for union organizing are totally preposterous.
We won't know what is included in the reforms until Bill 17, the Fair and Family-friendly Workplaces Act, is introduced into the Legislative Assembly by Labour Minister Christina Gray tomorrow. Depending on how it could be structured, a card-check system could make it harder for anti-union employers to block their employees from joining a union.
Looking to the debate ahead, the card-check issue could cause more political trouble for the NDP than they expect. As the NDP know from past experience as a tiny scrappy opposition party, it is much easier for the opposition to cast a government as heavy-handed and undemocratic than it is for a government to explain detailed public policy in a 15 second soundbite.
But there is little evidence that any reforms to Alberta's labour laws will lead employees of the companies represented by these groups to stampede into the closest union recruitment office.
It's not really surprising that key Conservative politicos are at, or close to, the centre of a campaign to oppose reforms to Alberta's outdated labour laws, but the connections to Kenney and his leadership bid are worth noting.
So, when you hear this group's criticism of the NDP's labour law reforms tomorrow, consider the source. Also remember that while the changes might be described as catastrophic or disastrous by corporate-funded lobby groups, the changes included in Bill 17 might not be dramatic enough for some traditional NDP supporters on the political left.

The writers of Casablanca were the Epstein twins. When they won the Academy Award for their screenplay, they became the only twins to ever win an Academy Award together.
There has never been a set of female twins to win an Academy Award together.
In their film Just Plain Odd, the star is auditioning for a part on the Abreaction Television Station. Abreaction Theater was the name of the DoubleTroublets' father's theater in New York.
Their father, David Bailin, is an artist and former playwright and director in New York.
They always edit with a cup of tea and honey and homemade, chocolate chip cookies close at hand.
Their father designs their DVD labels. He also designed the DoubleTroublets logo.
The picture on the DoubleTroublets logo was taken when they were four. It was taken for an article promoting the Arkansas Arts Center. Sarah has the pink halo; Emma has the yellow.
When their youngest older sister, Clara Bailin, left for college, they made her a film called A Tribute To The Youngest Older Sister, that contained several interviews, personal messages, and a picture montage to the song Sisters, Sisters sung by Rosemary and Betty Clooney.
The DTPs edited and authored the film "Charcoal Lines: A Conversation With David Bailin" that was conducted by Cindy Momchilov on October 16, 2008 (click here to see interview).
The DoubleTroublets began a film in eighth grade called "Little Rock's Forgotten" about Fouche Creek. Fouche Creek is a river ten minutes from Horace Mann MIddle School that is very polluted and in need of community help. Mann EAST has an ongoing project dedicated to helping the wildlife in and around it. The school year ended before the documentary was completed.
As of August 2009, The DoubleTroublets have been in the T Tauri Film Festival four years in a row, the Indie Memphis Film Festival three years in a row, and the Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival two years in a row.
In their spare time, the DoubleTroublets write stories and watch every film they can.
Avid Star Trek fans, they have seen almost every episode of the original series and Star Trek: The Next Generation. They have also seen all the films including the most recent one which is their favorite.
They have dressed alike their entire lives. As young toddlers, their nanny tried to dress them differently, but it disturbed their mother too much to see the same face in two different outfits at the same time. Now they do it mostly out of habit. Besides, neither one of them likes choosing cloths so this way only one has to suffer a day.
Their least favorite questions are: 1) Are you two twins? (No, we just share a birthday.) 2) Which one's older? (The prettier one.) 3) Do you guys know you look alike? (Here I was just thinking my mirror was broken.) 4) Can you read each other's minds? (Yeah, and teleport too.) 5) Why do you two dress alike? (We value originality.) They only get asked these questions once a day on average. Their least favorite comment is, "Look, I'm seeing double!"
They are the youngest of five girls.
The DoubleTroublets have the same birthday (October 12) as Hugh Jackman although 25 years apart.
Ever since researching for a film for the Wolfe Street Foundation on films connected to Arkansas that have won at the Oscars, the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) has been their favorite website.
In their sophomore year, they helped set up a film club at their high school.
Both are members of the National Honors Society, Mu Alpha Theta (a math society), STAND (a female youth activism group), Chinese club, and film club at their school.
They were very mischievous toddlers. When they were four, they decided that their father's charcoal drawing was too dark, so they took it upon themselves to color it using pink (Sarah) and yellow (Emma) highlighters. Luckily they were too short to cause any real damage although pink and yellow markings can still be seen at the very bottom of the picture. Around the same time, Emma started to write Sarah's name on the wall, but she would always use yellow highlighter so their parents knew it was really her (Sarah would have used pink.) Sarah was smarter and would make sure she had the right color before attempting to frame her sister in retaliation. Eventually they were both given washable ink. Despite having outgrown highlighters, pink and yellow remain their special colors, as shown by the logo.
They took eight (or nine) years of piano before giving it up to have more time to work on their films.
Their father refused to let them have coloring books claiming that they would destroy their creativity. He said they should learn to color without borders, a metaphor still evident in their lives today.
Their oldest sister, Patsy Bailin, was a production assistant on the film, Yellow Lights produced by Olin College which is located only a few miles away from Wellesley College where she went to school. When Sarah discovered her name on IMDb, she thought it was a different Patsy Bailin and sent the link to her sister as a joke.
Despite screening and/or winning at the T Tauri Film Festival for four years, they have never actually attended the film festival because it always falls on the same week as their annual family vacation.
Every so often, they host a DoubleTroublets Academy workshop at their home for any of their friends interested in filmmaking. After a day spent dissecting films and learning about equipment, participants are given certificates and the title of honorary DoubleTroublet. One of the honorary DoubleTroublets went on to make her own film, while two others later assisted the twins on a promotional film for the Wolfe Street.
The summer before Separate But Equal, the DoubleTroublets were interviewed at summer camp for a promotional film. After the interview, the cameraman said they were naturals in front of the camera. The DoubleTroublets blew him off saying they were too shy and would feel more comfortable on the other side of the lens.
At the age of 10, Sarah won a short story writing contest for her story "Ten Seeds". It was published in Cricket Magazine.
Sarah has had two guest articles published in their high school newspaper, The Tiger.
The DoubleTroublets were home schooled from 3rd grade to 6th. During that time, they traveled to UCA, Hendrix, and UALR where they sat in on their father's art history class lectures counting his "ums" in the back of the class.
They often use deviations of the screen names Scribe (Sarah) and Cutter (Emma). Cutter was the name for an editor back when they used real film.

A Soldier In Skirts Trivia
This is the DoubleTroublets' fourth documentary.
The film was completed two months behind schedule.
This is the DoubleTroublets first documentary not done in EAST.
The original reader of the Ruth Memoir was Emma's Pre-Cal. teacher, Summer McFarland. She is credited in the documentary under "Special Thanks To."
The original focus was on another Arkansas WAC, Era Hardy. Instead of a memoir, the narration was to include clips from her letters that she wrote home to her parents every week. The focus changed in January when the DoubleTroublets came across Ruth's memoir.
The DoubleTroublets found Ruth's memoir in the last file of the last box they looked through at UCA. They had considered not even looking at it, but decided too anyway. After reading the first page, they changed their focus.
The title remained in dispute right up until the day of their first competition. It was actually registered under a different one. Some of the options were "Lots of Love, Era," "A Soldier and a Gentleman," and of course, "A Soldier in Skirts." "A Soldier in Skirts" was their first and last title although Sarah still prefers "A Soldier and a Gentleman."
By the end of February, it was still unclear if Ruth was living or dead. The DoubleTroublets knew nothing about her life pre and post war. They eventually tracked her based on a newspaper article written in 1998 saying that she worked at the Bald Knob Area Chamber of Commerce. From there they found her number and got in touch with her daughter, Emma Jean Frippen, née Chaney. They completed her life story a week before the first competition.
One of the interviews, Marvin K. Bailin, is their grandfather. He insisted that his entire rank was listed in the film.
There were more interviews, but the DoubleTroublets decided they needed to make a choice: either they could tell the story of the WAC or the story of Ruth. They chose Ruth's and consequently cut interviews.
In the subtitle under Merle Wilson, it states that she was a WAVE and a WOW. A WAVE was the equivalent of a WAC only in the Navy not the Army. WOW stands for Women's Ordnance Workers. Basically it means she was a Rosie the Riveter except she worked with explosives.
The person that plays the music, Maureen Adkins, is the DoubleTroublets piano teacher. They'd have done it themselves, but they decided they wanted the audience in the theater not running from it.
A girl in secondary school sang the songs.
The narration was actually written around the memoir instead of the memoir being placed in later wherever it might have worked.
The picture of the present day female soldier is Leah Babb, Ruth's step-granddaughter. She is a member of the National Reserve and has just returned from Iraq.
The documentary's nicknames is SIS.
The opening line "They were the daughters of suffragists, the mothers of feminists." comes from a poem Sarah wrote entitled "These Women of War" for fun a few weeks into the research. (click here to read "These Women of War", keep in mind that poetry is not her strongpoint.)
Ruth's younger brother was at Pearl Harbor on December 7th. He was not harmed.
One of Ruth's barrack mates in Europe was the sister of a member of the crew that dropped one of the atomic bombs on Japan.
•	Ruth was a member of the Daughters of the Confederacy.
This marks the first time Sarah has been heard in any of their films. She was the voice of Ruth.
Even the DoubleTroublets themselves had problems differentiating between the narration and the memoir. At one point Emma congratulated herself for pronouncing the name of the German general correctly only to realize that was in fact Sarah's voice.
Emma was nervous about reading the names of so many foreign cities. As it turns out, the only thing she mispronounced was Fort Oglethorpe in Georgia, or so she's been told. The correct pronunciation is still unclear. There is still also some debate over whether Sarah correctly pronounced General Gustav Jodl's name.
This was the first documentary to use the DoubleTroublets' current lighting set for interviews.
The Marvin K. Bailin interview marks the first interview of a non-Arkansan they have ever done. He is from South Dakota.

They took to the sky, to the sea,
to the factories
Weapons each and all
A WASP among eagles,

A single skirt in a sea of slacks
They fought with a passion,

Pwyll ap Siôn
Philip Glass may have studied with two of the 20th century's most revered teachers – Vincent Persichetti and Nadia Boulanger – but he never fancied the role of pedagogue for himself. Nevertheless, he has become something of a mentor for a number of younger composers, including Nico Muhly, who served a kind of compositional apprenticeship as Glass's assistant for almost 10 years. It therefore seems appropriate that they should be paired together on this disc of music for two violins.
Muhly's music is no cheap Glass imitation, however. For a start, the musical frame of reference is wider and more stylistically diverse. Also, unlike Glass, Muhly is fond of employing drones in his music, whereas in Glass they appear as psychoacoustic by-products of the combined individual lines. Four Studies sees Muhly exploring territory initially covered on 'Drones' (Bedroom Community, 2012); but whereas his approach on the previous album was largely exploratory and improvisatory, the material seems more fixed and deliberately 'composed' in Four Studies. The element of surprise may be lacking but Angela and Jennifer Chun's violin lines are interwoven around shimmering drones generated by Muhly on piano and keyboard to create effective soundscapes. It takes courage and confidence to leave out so much. There's a static quality about Honest Music (2002), too, although the musical colours are more monochrome here, the mood darker and more pervasive, and the brushstrokes broader.
Glass's Mad Rush (1979) was originally performed by the composer on organ and has since been played on piano and even harp. The version heard here for two violins (prepared by Alexandra du Bois) is given a far less bombastic treatment than on any number of piano recordings. As in the less familiar incidental music supplied by Glass for a production of Jane Bowles's play In the Summer House (1993), the Chun duo's sensitive and delicate playing imparts at times ethereal and transcendental qualities to the music which, one suspects, in the case of Mad Rush, is more in keeping with the spirit of the Dalai Lama, for whom it was written.
