Exciting news in 5th grade! We're getting a student teacher for the next six weeks! His name is François Chiasson and he is joining us from Quebec. He starts on Monday, and the 5th graders are quite excited to meet him!
Thank you all for your flexibility and understanding with the change in our field trip date. We're set to visit the Brave Soles workshop next Thursday, November 2nd. The timing will be the same - leave ISS at 8:15 and return by 2:30. Because of the date change, I will be sending home new permission slips to be signed on Monday. As before, students should wear their white ISS polo shirt and comfortable shoes. They should bring water, snacks, and a lunch (those that normally eat lunch at school will have a bag lunch packed for them). No electronics, please.
We are wrapping up our study of division with two-digit divisors. This is a complicated topic, and some students may want to stay after for reinforcements for additional review and to retake their assessment. It takes practice, but I'm really proud of how much the 5th graders have improved! Next week, we will be studying how to evaluate expressions using the order of operations.
We're busy writing narrative stories, and the students have enjoyed listening to various mentor texts in order to hear how good writers introduce their stories, use transition words, write descriptively, and conclude their stories. The final product is due Friday. We are working on the stories in class, but some students may want additional time to work, so next week's ELA homework will be to work on their narrative and submit the final copy Friday.
As we start quarter 2, we begin our study of life science. We will be investigating how plants get the materials they need from air and water, and then moving on to explore the way energy is transferred and shared through the food chain.
This week in 5 grade was magnificent! One thing we did was working on our social studies project (picking a place in the world and studying about its culture), which was AWESOME!!! We also worked on our math dividing whole numbers with 2 digit divisors. One thing that was the highlight of this week was getting to learn different methods of how to do long division. Here in 5 grade we love to learn and have fun!
Next Thursday, October 26 is our field trip to the Brave Soles workshop in Puerto Plata. We will be leaving from ISS at 8:15 and returning to school by 2:30. Although it is pajama day for Spirit Week (more details below), students are asked to wear their white ISS polo for the trip. We will make up pajama day on another day to be determined in the future. Students are also asked to bring a water bottle and snacks. If they normally eat a school lunch, they will have a bag lunch prepared for them that day. If they normally bring their lunch, they should bring a lunch with them on the field trip. They are asked not to bring electronics.
PSG will be selling tickets before and after school Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday next week. Tickets are four for 100 pesos. Tickets will not be sold individually, only in groups of four. If you prepay for your tickets on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday of next week, your child's tickets will be put in a bag and given to their teacher on Friday morning. However, tickets will also be sold on the day of the Fun Fair. Fun Fair is from 3-4 PM. We will begin the Fun Fair with a parade of costumes that will start at the teachers' parking lot and wind along the path to the cover court.The Haunted House will be open to all elementary students at 3 PM, as well as many games under the covered court. Popcorn, cotton candy, drinks and hot dogs will also be available. Entrance to the Haunted House and all games will cost one ticket. Make your own slime, cotton candy, drinks and popcorn costs two tickets and hot dogs cost three tickets. Come join us for a fun afternoon.
On Friday, October 27th, Student Council is sponsoring Costume day. Elementary students will have the opportunity to wear costumes to school all day with a 25 pesos donation. If students do not want to wear their costume all day, but wish to change at the end of the day to participate in the whole school parade and Fun Fair, they should wear their uniform during the day and bring their costume to change into. If children elect to wear their costume during the day, we ask that the "accessories" be kept in their backpacks for use only in the afternoon at the parade and Fun Fair. Accessories include such items as fake teeth, masks of any kind, gloves, etc... We want to minimize the distraction from learning throughout the day. Additionally, we would ask parents to make sure that if any kind of weapon is part of your child's costume that you save that for any out-of-school trick or treat activities and not allow your child to bring it to school. If you have any questions, please feel free to check in with your child's teacher or Ms. Lantz in the office.
Thank you to all those who have signed up for your 20 minute parent-teacher conference on Monday, October 30th! If you have not, please use this link to write your name next to the time slot you would like to conference. Remember, this is a half day of classes for students. Students will leave at 11:50, and conferences will take place between 12:30 and 5 pm. We have a lot of families to pack into that time frame, so please be on time for your conference!
The fifth graders have been working hard on long division with 1- and 2-digit divisors. We've learned different methods for dividing- ask your 5th grader which is their favorite! We've also talked about the importance of slowing down and paying attention to each step. Some of the 5th graders have realized they don't have their multiplication and division facts memorized yet, and this is making more complicated problems difficult. Strategies for reviewing math facts include: making flashcards, having a family member or friend quiz you, using an online program such as Quizlet, etc. It sounds like a lot of you are already helping out with this at home - thank you for all you do to support learning outside of school!
We're starting our narrative writing unit, and we had a lot of fun this week making a "Dead Word Graveyard" comprised of boring, overused words. Students learned how to use a thesaurus to look up synonyms for boring words and made a graveyard full of more descriptive options to use in our writing. Ask your 5th grader what word he or she chose to "kill off"!
We had so much fun in science this week acting out the path of the sun, moon, and earth in the night sky in order to understand the earth's orbit and rotation! Thank you for lending your flashlights to us for the day. See the class website for photos of the kids in action!
Thank you to all those who have signed up for your 20 minute parent-teacher conference on Monday, October 30th! If you have not, please use this link to write your name next to the time slot you would like to conference. Remember, this is a half day of classes for students. Students will leave at 1, and conferences will take place between 1 and 5 pm. We have a lot of families to pack into that time frame, so please be on time for your conference!
To support our study of ways people protect the earth's resources, we will be going to visit the Brave Soles workshop in Puerto Plata. This will include a stop at the dump to see where the tires come from and discuss why they pose and environmental and health threat. Then we will head to the workshop to meet the Brave Soles team and learn about the process of making the shoes and accessories. Finally, we will go to the Malecon to eat lunch and debrief about more ways we can protect resources in our community. This will be an all day field trip, and students are asked to wear their white ISS polo shirt that day. They are also asked to not bring electronics, in order to be fully present during the trip. Thank you so much to the parents who have volunteered to drive on that day! Everyone - please look for field trip permission slips that need to be signed next week.
This week we studied different methods for multiplying decimals, including using disks on a place value chart, making an area model, and using the standard algorithm. This is a complicated skill, but I am so proud of the 5th graders for persisting and making progress. Next week we will be studying long division, another complicated skill that takes time and effort to fully master. This week in our Morning Meetings we talked about the power of "yet" - remembering that if we haven't fully mastered a skill, it's not that we don't get it. It's that we don't quite get it YET. Remind your 5th grader of this idea at home if you sense they are getting frustrated with some of the tougher math concepts, or anything else that may be a challenge. We've also talked a lot about how challenges and mistakes are what grow our brains!
This week we finished reading our class novel, Wonder! We have been discussing the themes of the novel: friendship, family, accepting differences, kindness, inclusion, etc. and looking for details from the story that demonstrate those themes. Next, we will be using this story as a model for our own narrative writing.
We had so much fun this week combining geography, math, and science skills in order to determine how much of the earth's water is usable. Ask your 5th grader what we found out! You can see a photo of our final graph below. Next week we will be studying the earth's rotation around the sun and the patterns it causes in the day and night. Students are asked to bring a flashlight on Thursday for a simulation activity - any simple household flashlight will do, and they will be able to bring it home the same day.
This week we combined our knowledge of culture with research and technology skills in order to start working on a culture mobile project. Each student chose a culture to study and research, and will be representing the elements of their chosen culture on a hanging mobile. The bulk of the work is being done in class, but some students have asked for additional time to research at home. This is optional, but allowed. Next week they will practice their speaking and listening skills by presenting their final projects. We will also be discussing the difference between surface culture and deep culture, and why it is important to be aware of both our own and other cultures. You may want to share more about your own culture with your 5th grader to help them make connections!
This week we are learning how to multiply decimals. In social studies we started doing a project on different cultures. In ELA we are able to determine the theme of a story. In science we figured out how much salt water, frozen water, and fresh water in the world.

When scientists surveyed data collected by NASA's Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer, a lunar orbiter, they were able to connect brief spikes in atmospheric water vapor levels with meteoroid streams.
"We traced most of these events to known meteoroid streams, but the really surprising part is that we also found evidence of four meteoroid streams that were previously undiscovered," Mehdi Benna, scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, said in a news release.
Scientists have previously found evidence of water inside the moon. Researchers have mapped the presence of water in the lunar soil, as well as captured images of ice on the surface of the lunar poles. Hydroxyl, a highly reactive relative of H2O, is also present on the moon. The science of how water got to the moon and how much there is, however, remains unsettled.
What water is present on the moon mostly remains locked up in ice form and trapped underground. As a result, the lunar atmosphere is usually without water vapor. The LADEE data, however, showed tiny impacts can briefly free up some of the moon's water.
"When the moon passed through one of these meteoroid streams, enough vapor was ejected for us to detect it," said Richard Elphic, the LADEE project scientist at NASA's Ames Research Center. "And then, when the event was over, the H2O or OH went away."
The lunar surface is dry, but scientists predict a layer of hydrated sediment lies just beneath the surface. To free up the buried water, researchers estimated the meteoroid stream would have to penetrate at least three inches.
As the moon passes through a meteoroid stream, the tiny impacts generate shock waves that expel puffs of vapor into the lunar atmosphere, or exosphere, the thin envelope of gas that surrounds the satellite.
"We know that some of the water must be coming from the Moon, because the mass of water being released is greater than the water mass within the meteoroids coming in," said Dana Hurley, a researcher at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory.
NASA scientists hope future lunar missions will uncover new details about the ratio of H20 to OH, as well as offer insights into the origins of the moon's ancient water reserves.


← Brands need a platform–but which one is best?
Surprisingly, many people disagree with this statement.
Those who disagree argue that it's the marketing department's job to build the brand through advertising, public relations, digital marketing and other communications tools.
Their thinking stems from a conviction that brand building is synonymous with marketing communications–It's solely about creating awareness and positive perceptions in the minds of customers–and the marketing department is responsible for these activities.
People that agree with the statement see it differently. They believe that brand building requires more than marketing communications, and that it is the responsibility of every department and employee within the organization. They argue vehemently that it serves little purpose to create awareness and a positive perception about your brand's promise of value unless your brand is de facto capable of creating and delivering on this promise of value.
Believing that brand building is solely the responsibility of the marketing department is wrong-headed because it hurts a brand's chances to win in the marketplace. This belief doesn't account for the organizational competencies and business practices that contribute to delivering on the brand promise that are executed by other departments. For example, training of customer service personnel so they understand the brand's promise of value and have the requisite skills, knowledge and reward systems to interact with customers in a way that supports it is an operations or human resources responsibility.
The concept of the Brand Iceberg[i] is useful for making this premise explicit. Science tells us that only one-ninth of the volume of an iceberg is above water. In the Brand Iceberg the "tip of the iceberg" represents the parts of the brand that are visible to customers. For a retailer this might include its logo, its retail locations, its merchandise, the actions of its front-line employees, its online store, its marketing communications, etc. For one of the retailer's vendors, the tip of its own iceberg might include the brand's logo, products, packaging and marketing communications.
These visible parts of the brand don't appear by chance. For strong brands and businesses they are the result of an entire organization that creates, delivers and communicates the compelling value that customers are seeking—much of the organization residing below the water's surface and therefore invisible to customers.
The CEO is responsible for fostering the cross-functional cohesion that is crucial for cultivating the company-wide business practices integral to the brand's success in the marketplace. The CEO's effort should result in a tailored business model and system capable of creating, delivering and communicating the compelling value that is at the heart of every strong brand and business. This is how the entire organization, and not just the marketing department, is tasked with playing a role in winning customers in a manner that ensures sustained value for stakeholders.
For some examples of outstanding CEO's in charge of the organizations behind some of the most successful brands and businesses, read my previous post, What makes a bona fide marketing genius?
They believe that it takes the entire organization, inspired and motivated by the leadership of the CEO, to do this.

Good stuff…if you are passionate about consumer/customer value and put these key stakeholders front and center in all of an organization's activities, this will result in everyone from the CEO down, caring about Marketing/Communication.
If any CEO had doubts regarding whether or not it's his or her responsibility to build a Brand, this article makes it very clear for everybody: marketing communication "sells the sizzle", and the CEO is in charge of making sure that a decent steak is being cooked.

Make Examples look more like questions in Q&A [closed]
Want to improve this question? Update the question so it's on-topic for Meta Stack Overflow.
When I discovered Stack Overflow, I remember that the interface was immediately intuitive to me. Title goes here, question goes there, add tags, done. Add a comment, cool. Share the link, easy. Vote to close, done.
This is not my experience with Documentation. Whenever I follow someone's link to a Documentation Example, I get super confused.
The table of contents and the content being almost the same width in the split screen view is confusing
(This is not as egregious in the single-column view - but most of the other problems remain.)
It is awfully easy to accidentally scroll away from the section I wanted to read/jump to (because there is content above and below, just touching the scroll wheel makes you lose it)
I still need 30 secs each time to figure out what I need to do e.g. when I want to suggest a new edit to something
I still need to hover over each icon each time to figure out what they mean
Having the examples be part of a list that you can scroll up and down (and jump to dynamically) doesn't seem to serve any purpose currently, as the order of examples is random.
This doesn't feel like an ideal experience, neither as a consumer (imagine someone ending up directly at an example through Google), nor as an editor/reviewer. It also doesn't feel like a part of SO.
Could this whole thing not be made much more to resemble the traditional Q&A interface - splitting each example into an artifact of its own?
To oversimplify:
I realize the Documentation team must have spent a lot of time on how to approach Documentation's UI... there are probably good reasons why everything looks like it does that I just don't see.
But I really have problems using the UI as it is, and the fancy JS feels counterproductive to the experience.

Have you seen the split-screen view? i.stack.imgur.com/IGf56.png – Shog9 Aug 5 '16 at 14:25
@Shog that is exactly the view I'm complaining about :) Only just saw how it behaves with less available width. Neither is superior to having each Example as a separate artifact (IMO) – Pekka Aug 5 '16 at 14:26
@Shog I added a professional infographic to clarify things – Pekka Aug 5 '16 at 14:30
You can turn off the split view by clicking the 'x' in between the two columns. The default is the single-column view. – Kurtis Beavers Aug 5 '16 at 14:41
@Kurtis Yeah, I only discovered it after Shog's comment, not sure how I could overlook that! I think I got the split-screen by default (I can't remember having consciously chosen it). Maybe it was a private Beta thing. Anyway - the single-screen view is much better. If that's what the average joe gets to see that seems much less of a problem then. But the fundamental suggestion (making each Example a separate artifact on its own page, and streamlining the UI with Q&A as much as possible) still stands – Pekka Aug 5 '16 at 14:44
There are some things in here that we were already considering in a future iteration. Thanks for your feedback. The idea of a ToC in the sidebar is something we were already considering. Not certain about the dividing examples into their own artifact — the idea has merit and advantages. It's a bit of a departure from the original concept so we'd need to think through all the implications carefully. – Kurtis Beavers Aug 5 '16 at 20:10
I accidentally triggered the split-screen view almost immediately after first looking at Documentation. I have no idea how I did it. I remember it was very jarring, I didn't like it, and I couldn't figure out how to make it go away. The whole experience was very negative, and left a bad taste in my mouth. I'm very glad you posted this; the entire UI is an over-complex disaster that looks like it was never actually tested. hairboat assures me this isn't true and the UX team isn't full of bozos obsessed with throbbing blue circles, but I'm still dubious how this one ever got out the door. – Cody Gray♦ Aug 6 '16 at 14:19
I like the idea of a light-weight outline/ToC in the sidebar. You actually get this when editing, to help you keep track of what's been changed:
Having this in the sidebar of the page could actually free up some room in the editor, which would be nice.
The action icons I feel less strongly about; after 8 years, I'm used to the text links on Q&A, but plenty of folks still get confused by them. Terms like "share" and "flag" don't always mean the same thing (and in fact we've changed the names or meanings on Q&A at various points) - heck, even "comment" is potentially misleading. So while I find the iconography annoying right now, I have to admit that it consumes less space... And may not be any more confusing to new users than the text actions on Q&A.
As far as adding comments to examples... I think this would make the page even more cluttered. The primary mode of interaction with Docs is intended to be editing; if folks start dumping suggestions or errata into comments, that falls apart. I do suspect we're going to need some sort of a "talk" page for these topics eventually though, something that aggregates improvement requests and associated discussion so we can resolve disagreements over goals and edits for a topic without getting into edit wars.
Shog9Shog9
The problems with improvement requests are that they're too short and allow no room for discussion. Without the latter, there's no way to build consensus for a change. And without that, you basically invite edit warring. You guys really need to examine the Wikipedia model of collaborative editing; they've got a decade's worth of experience on how to build a useful knowledgebase of information. And right now, you seem to be doing many things exactly opposite of how they handle things. – Nicol Bolas Aug 5 '16 at 18:12
That's why I said, I think we're gonna need some equivalent to WP's "talk" pages. Right now, those improvement requests essentially drop out of sight, and any discussion is either attached to the associated improvements, lost in chat, or non-existent. That's going to become an issue as we move beyond the "tent city" stage. – Shog9 Aug 5 '16 at 18:18
While you're right that words don't always have unambiguous meanings, inscrutable little icons have even less obvious meanings, so I'm not really sure what the argument is here. I literally have to use the tooltips every time to see what the icons mean. It doesn't help that the options change depending on which view you're in, so memorization and muscle memory become less useful. And if it's true that you want to drive people to editing, burying it in a tiny icon (that is similar to a pencil, but has a strange line coming out of it) isn't really a smart way of doing it. – Cody Gray♦ Aug 6 '16 at 14:11
@Shog9 I'm really happy to hear that you're talking about discussion pages. Adding that early on will help avoid some cultural problems (edit wars). It'll be a welcome addition I think. – RubberDuck Aug 7 '16 at 17:10

No one likes to think that their dog will ever suffer from a gunshot wound, but it happens, and it happens more often than most of us would like to admit. Whether your dog is a hunting dog and gets shot by accident or is seen by a hunter and mistaken for another animal, gunshot wounds happen to the best dogs. Knowing how to treat the wounds will help you ensure that you have a chance of a positive outcome.
A gunshot wound is usually not difficult to identify because of the setting that the dog is in or the major tissue damage that can be caused by a gun. The first thing you need to do when you suspect a gunshot wound is to locate the injury, try to determine the size of the projectile, as well as the speed of the projectile. You want to know all of these things because this can help you determine the seriousness of the injury. Most of the time you will see major tissue damage on the outside, then again sometimes there is just a small bleeding hole visible.
Preventing gunshot wounds in dogs can be quite simple. First, if you are taking a dog out hunting with you, be sure that they are well trained. When you are sure that your dog is well trained they will be less likely to get shot. Also, you may want to dress them in bright colors if you live in an area where hunting is done so that other hunters do not mistake them for an animal which they are hunting. There is reflective gear sold for dogs that will identify them easily to yourself as well as other hunters. You can also make sure that you as well as the people with you are well trained in how to hunt with a dog.
The treatment of a gunshot wound begins immediately. If your dog is breathing but unresponsive you will want to try to keep their airway open, just the way you would in a human. Do not move your dog immediately until you can ascertain whether or not they can be moved without furthering the damage and also make sure that you take your safety into consideration, as a lot of dogs will bite when in extreme pain.
Control any bleeding with compression. You can seal the gunshot wound with plastic of any variety to keep air from being sucked into the wound. Don't give the dog anything to eat or drink. At this point you will want to call your vet and have them come to you, if possible. If the vet cannot come to you, carefully bring your dog into a vehicle in which they can be kept as flat and as stationary as possible.
When you get your dog to the vet the vet will likely quickly examine the wound, do an extra or ultrasound to gauge internal damage, operate if necessary, and then start antibiotics and pain medications. Gunshot wounds are often superficial and they look bad, but other times they look very superficial and are quite serious. Getting your dog to the vet is important for their life.

A Few Star Players to Play in Qatar T10 League
Angelo Mathews
Qatar T10 League
Some of the players that will play include Yuvraj Singh, Mohammad Hafeez, and Angelo Mathews.
A new much shorter format of cricket has caught the attention of the fans - the T10 format. The match is supposed to last 120 minutes. There has been a successful tournament that has shown just how well-liked the format is - the Abu Dhabi T10 League. In an attempt to mirror its success, the Qatar Cricket Association (QCA) also wants to organise its own T10 league. If everything goes according to plan, this new league will start on December 7.
Additionally, big-named international cricket players are also expected to take part in the Qatar T10 League. Indian superstar Yuvraj Singh is one of the names that would likely play together with Mohammad Hafeez, Kamran Akmal, Angelo Matthews among others. Currently, there are a total of 73 players who will play. Of those, 17 are from Qatar while 24 are from Associated nations.
When the league does take place, six teams will battle it out for ultimate glory. Pearl Gladiators, Flying Oryx, Desert Riders, Swift Gallopers, Falcon Hunter, and Heat Stormers are the teams which will look to pick the best players available for the competition. These six teams will face each other in a league stage before the top four teams face each other in the semi-finals.

A goal by Brett Holman 3 minutes and 20 seconds into a supposed 3-minute stoppage time at the end of the match gave Australia a somewhat fortunate 2-1 win over New Zealand before just over 55,000 fans at the MCG this evening.
Chris Killen gave the Kiwis the lead in the 16th minute when he fired in at the far post and it was not until the 57th minute that Dario Vidisic equalised after a fortunate deflection off Killen had put the Australian in possession on the right.
Australia were poor in the first half and New Zealand could have had a second goal, but Killen's shot hit the post.
Australia's only chance of the first half came when Scott McDonald collected a cross from David Carney, but his shot from an acute angle on the right was parried by the keeper and, when the ball came back to McDonald, he was way off target.
Three Australians - Mark Milligan, Vince Grella and Tim Cahill - were booked in the first half for atrocious tackles which probably would have earned red cards for Grella and Cahill in any other match. Both tackles were on Leo Bertos.
Cahill's tackle on Bertos saw the New Zealander carried off on a stretcher.
In a post-match interview, even Australian coach Pim Verbeek condemned the tackles.
Verbeek said his side was rusty in the first half but improved in the second.
Australia switched to a 4-4-2 system in the second half and probably had the better of the exchanges, with Milligan also shooting just wide three minutes before the equaliser.
Verbeek will announce his 23-man World Cup squad at 3pm tomorrow.
Australian captain Lucas Neill said there was still plenty to work on.
Australia will play friendlies against Denmark and the United States of America before the opening World Cup match against Germany on 14 June.
The draw for the quarterfinals of the Milan Lakoseljec Memorial Trophy state-wide competition was made at South Hobart on Sunday.
The draw is:
Tilford Zebras v South Hobart
Burnie United v Tasmanian Institute of Sport
New Town Eagles v Riverside Olympic
Devonport City v Clarence United

A lucky win, but any win against the Kiwis in any sport is good news!
My comments in a previous blog were vindicated last night, with Craig Moore showing, or rather, proving his vulnerability. He ducked the cross that was eventually turned in by Chris Killen; perhaps he intentionally left it for someone else, unfortunately it was Killen!
The upcoming match against Denmark will be a real test of Verbeek's side's mettle, as it is always competetive against anybody & hard to beat.
Germany, Ghana & Serbia will have no fears after viewing this display.

very interested in the draw for milans cup, it seems that many of us up here believe that the north may have three to the final four. some even believe that with the preferential treatment being metered out to our southern counterparts, that this may well be an overindulgence to the benefit of our southern counterparts.naturally almost all of those interested in tasmanian football in the north believe south hobart are the strongest of all teams in the state and wonder how any north south matchup may resolve itself if the happened to have thier players away for that weekend. interested to see some southern teams nominated without the presence of south hobarts input.
All well and good to have wall passes in two thirds of the pitch, but penetration in that final third is non-existent for the socceroos.. be fearful of a first round exit this time around people.. cannot see a single goal being scored against the class of opposition we have in our group.. sorry to be a downer guys..
It's good that we're unhappy with a win - shows how far we've come. I was at the game and it was obvious, as is usually the case for Australia, that the tempo was lifted dramatically in the second half. Add Kewell, Emerton, Chipperfield, Schwartzer, Kennedy, Wiltshire and the team will be much better. Even Williams and Garcia will be ahead of the likes of Milligan and Valeri.
OK Beckham - I will bite - what is the "the preferential treatment being metered out to our southern counterparts" ?
explain yrself said...
Beckham - WTF are you talking about?
tips for the cup:
Im not sure how you could accuse anyone of receiving favourable treatment when it was dran out of a cup in front of 400 people WAKE UP BECKHAM
I agree Anon @4.38pm, but don't get too carried away, FFT couldn't even attract 400 people to a match, nevermind a cup draw when you look at how professional their season launch was!
I was also at the game, and it was horrible. If we play anything like that during the world cup we will get trounced. However, as is the often the case...it's the real game that matters, not the lead up matches where the coaches are testing their "muppets". Verbeek has made some very interesting selections...Why only 2 out and out strikers? And why leave macdonald out? I'm glad I'm not a coach...because I would have chosen that side a lot differently. Let's hope the dutchman has a better idea than me.
As for the Milan Cup...I'm very happy it's mainly N vs S. Should be a good bunch of games. Also, hope Rangers get to meet South later in the year for the final series....quality team, and good to play against. Feel we can do better than the last game against them.
Gabriel Tams.
ANON 7:44
FFT did not attract 400 people, Sth Hobart did. well done to all concerned. If more clubs worked together anything is possible, but the egos, self interest, us & them mentality that has been in our game for a while will only see us tread water for years to come.


While the market driven by short-term sentiment influenced by uncertainty regarding the future of the interest rate environment in the US, declining oil prices and the trade war with China, many smart money investors kept their optimism regarding the current bull run in the fourth quarter, while still hedging many of their long positions. However, as we know, big investors usually buy stocks with strong fundamentals, which is why we believe we can profit from imitating them. In this article, we are going to take a look at the smart money sentiment surrounding FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE:FE).
FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE:FE) has seen an increase in enthusiasm from smart money in recent months. FE was in 39 hedge funds' portfolios at the end of the fourth quarter of 2018 which is an all time high. There were 38 hedge funds in our database with FE positions at the end of the previous quarter. Our calculations also showed that FE isn't among the 30 most popular stocks among hedge funds.
If you'd ask most stock holders, hedge funds are assumed to be slow, outdated financial vehicles of the past. While there are more than 8000 funds with their doors open today, We look at the top tier of this club, around 750 funds. These investment experts preside over the majority of all hedge funds' total asset base, and by tracking their first-class equity investments, Insider Monkey has revealed a number of investment strategies that have historically outperformed the market. Insider Monkey's flagship hedge fund strategy outperformed the S&P 500 index by nearly 5 percentage points annually since its inception in May 2014 through early November 2018. We were able to generate large returns even by identifying short candidates. Our portfolio of short stocks lost 27.5% since February 2017 (through March 12th) even though the market was up nearly 25% during the same period. We just shared a list of 6 short targets in our latest quarterly update and they are already down an average of 6% in less than a month.
Let's analyze the recent hedge fund action surrounding FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE:FE).
What does the smart money think about FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE:FE)?
Heading into the first quarter of 2019, a total of 39 of the hedge funds tracked by Insider Monkey were bullish on this stock, a change of 3% from one quarter earlier. On the other hand, there were a total of 28 hedge funds with a bullish position in FE a year ago. With the smart money's positions undergoing their usual ebb and flow, there exists a select group of notable hedge fund managers who were increasing their stakes meaningfully (or already accumulated large positions).
More specifically, Zimmer Partners was the largest shareholder of FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE:FE), with a stake worth $1106.9 million reported as of the end of September. Trailing Zimmer Partners was Elliott Management, which amassed a stake valued at $940.4 million. Renaissance Technologies, Millennium Management, and Fir Tree were also very fond of the stock, giving the stock large weights in their portfolios.
Consequently, key money managers were breaking ground themselves. D E Shaw, managed by D. E. Shaw, established the most outsized position in FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE:FE). D E Shaw had $25 million invested in the company at the end of the quarter. Michael Gelband's ExodusPoint Capital also initiated a $20.8 million position during the quarter. The other funds with new positions in the stock are Anna Nikolayevsky's Axel Capital Management, Joseph Samuels's Islet Management, and Brandon Haley's Holocene Advisors.
Let's go over hedge fund activity in other stocks similar to FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE:FE). These stocks are Korea Electric Power Corporation (NYSE:KEP), IHS Markit Ltd. (NASDAQ:INFO), Motorola Solutions Inc (NYSE:MSI), and Realty Income Corporation (NYSE:O). This group of stocks' market valuations are closest to FE's market valuation.
As you can see these stocks had an average of 19.25 hedge funds with bullish positions and the average amount invested in these stocks was $495 million. That figure was $3732 million in FE's case. IHS Markit Ltd. (NASDAQ:INFO) is the most popular stock in this table. On the other hand Korea Electric Power Corporation (NYSE:KEP) is the least popular one with only 9 bullish hedge fund positions. Compared to these stocks FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE:FE) is more popular among hedge funds. Our calculations showed that top 15 most popular stocks among hedge funds returned 19.7% through March 15th and outperformed the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) by 6.6 percentage points. Unfortunately FE wasn't in this group. Hedge funds that bet on FE were disappointed as the stock returned 10.9% and underperformed the market. If you are interested in investing in large cap stocks, you should check out the top 15 hedge fund stocks as 13 of these outperformed the market.

CAIRIS
About CAIRIS
What is CAIRIS?
CAIRIS stands for Computer Aided Integration of Requirements and Information Security. It is a platform for eliciting, specifying, and validating secure and usable systems. It was built from the ground up to support all the elements necessary for usability, requirements, and risk analysis.
Why did you build CAIRIS?
CAIRIS was developed as part of Shamal Faily's doctoral research. CAIRIS was designed and developed to better understand the form that software tools for secure and usable software design might take.
Why do I need CAIRIS?
No-one disagrees that security should be considered as early as possible when designing software, but how do you do this productively, i.e. without security getting in the way of the business of understanding the software's core functional goals?
CAIRIS helps by supporting the usability, security, and requirements engineering activities that one might use at the initial stages of a project. If you're undertaking these activities then you're collecting data that needs to go somewhere. By using CAIRIS as a repository for this data, you will benefit from CAIRIS' automatic analysis and visualisation capabilities.
What does CAIRIS do that other tools do not?
Several things.
First, some tools focus on the specification of requirements. Others focus on modelling requirements together with related concepts. Still, others are centred around managing UX data. CAIRIS is the only tool that does all of this (and more).
Second, CAIRIS is, to the best of our knowledge, the only security design tool that supports the notion of environments. If you're building a medical data repository that will be used by different communities of users, you will be concerned about the perceptions stakeholders in each community might have about security, and what this means when determining the value of an asset, or the impact of a risk. For example, clinical data might have a high confidentiality value to one community, but low confidentiality value in other; this difference in properties may be due to the level of anonymisation this asset might be subjected to in each community. Similarly, each community might have threats, vulnerabilities, people that look similar but have subtle variations. CAIRIS can capture these variations, thereby allowing the impact of design changes or changes in people's characteristics and tasks to be examined for each 'context of use'.
Third, CAIRIS is scaleable. In most other tools, analysts are required to build models by hand. However, as models get bigger, this task gets increasingly harder. CAIRIS addresses this by automatically generating models based on connections between concepts that analysts make. CAIRIS deals with the messiness associated with visualising this data, so you don't have to.
Fourth, CAIRIS doesn't attempt to be the 'one tool that rules them all'. CAIRIS works best when used in combination with other 'best of breed' tools. For example, CAIRIS has been used to import data from sources ranging from wiki pages and spreadsheets, to open source repositories about attack patterns. Moreover, in addition to generating models and documentation, CAIRIS can generate goal models that can be imported into other tools like jUCMNav. CAIRIS also has an API, which makes it possible to build apps that can work with data from CAIRIS and other tools. Because of how CAIRIS has been implemented, it's also fairly easy to develop extensions to CAIRIS based on new insights we might want to draw from analytics from CAIRIS, or even new APIs.
Finally, although CAIRIS' origins are in specifying requirements, it has been recently extended to support the specification and analysis of software architectures as well. To date, we believe CAIRIS to be the only tool that supports the specification and analysis of both security requirements and security architectures.
Is CAIRIS used in the real world?
CAIRIS has been used in a number of real-world case studies. We're currently working with a number of companies (both large and small) who are looking to adopt CAIRIS.
We're always interested in hearing from others interested in adopting the tool, so please get in touch if you want to use CAIRIS and need help getting started.
Are there any examples of CAIRIS in action?
Yes, there are several example models you can look at and play with.
Is there is a live demo of CAIRIS that I can play with?
Yes. You can get started here.
Is CAIRIS free?
Yes. CAIRIS has been made freely available under an Apache Software License. You can find the source code for CAIRIS on github.
Does CAIRIS only work on Linux?
No, CAIRIS will run on any platform that supports its open source dependencies. Although it works best on Linux (particularly Debian based distributions), it has been known to run on Mac OS X and Windows as well. Because of its architecture, there is no reason why the server side components can't run on one platform, and the client side components can't run on another. CAIRIS has also been distributed as a Docker container, which will run on any platform that supports Docker.
Do you still do research around CAIRIS?
Very much so. We have a number of undergraduate and postgraduate research assistants that are currently extending CAIRIS, and exploring some of the ideas that originally motivated its development. We love to hear from prospective collaborators, so if working with us to improve the state of the art in security design tools is of interest then please get in touch.
How can I contribute to CAIRIS?
You can contribute in several ways.
You can use CAIRIS in your own practice. One of our aims in developing CAIRIS is to transfer knowledge about security design tool best practice, so by using CAIRIS, you will be helping us do this. We welcome problem reports or feature requests; you can contribute these by doing little more than raising an issue on github, or getting in touch if your requirements are a little more elaborate.
If you work in higher education, please consider using CAIRIS as a tool for teaching security design. CAIRIS has already been used in Oxford's postgraduate Design of Security course. At BU, we're also incorporating CAIRIS into our own cybersecurity teaching. We're happy to share any teaching material we develop, so if you're interested in using CAIRIS as part of your teaching then please get in touch.
We're always looking for people to help with general maintenance activities.
How can I sponsor CAIRIS?
We'd love to hear from companies interested in sponsoring the on-going design and evolution of CAIRIS. You can sponsor us in lots of different ways. These include:
Providing people to help maintain and grow CAIRIS.
Providing [modest] financial support we can use to employ interns to develop CAIRIS.
Buying consultancy to help you adopt CAIRIS. Any income from CAIRIS consultancy, will go back into the development of CAIRIS.
Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs). If you're a UK SME and see CAIRIS as an important tool in growing your business, then a KTP is a great way of getting government funding to support us and your project.
Please get in touch if any (or all!) of the above is of interest to you.

The Douglas DC-3 is a fixed-wing propeller-driven airliner. Its speed and range revolutionized air transport in the 1930s and 1940s. Its lasting impact on the airline industry and World War II makes it one of the most significant transport aircraft ever made.
The major military version was designated the C-47 Skytrain, of which more than 10,000 were produced.
Many DC-3s and converted C-47s are still used in all parts of the world.

The designation "DC" stands for "Douglas Commercial". The DC-3 was the culmination of a development effort that originated out of an inquiry from Transcontinental and Western Airlines (TWA) to Donald Douglas. TWA's rival in transcontinental air service, United Airlines, was inaugurating service with the Boeing 247 and Boeing refused to sell any 247s to other airlines until United's order for 60 aircraft had been filled.[4] TWA asked Douglas to design and build an aircraft that would enable TWA to compete with United. Douglas' resulting design, the 1933 DC-1, was promising, and led to the DC-2 in 1934. While the DC-2 was a success, there was still room for improvement.
The DC-3 was the result of a marathon telephone call from American Airlines CEO C. R. Smith to Donald Douglas, during which Smith persuaded a reluctant Douglas to design a sleeper aircraft based on the DC-2 to replace American's Curtiss Condor II biplanes. Douglas agreed to go ahead with development only after Smith informed him of American's intention to purchase twenty aircraft. The new aircraft was engineered by a team led by chief engineer Arthur E. Raymond over the next two years, and the prototype DST (for Douglas Sleeper Transport) first flew on December 17, 1935 (the 32nd anniversary of the Wright Brothers' flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina). A version with 21 passenger seats instead of the sleeping berths of the DST was also designed and given the designation DC-3. There was no prototype DC-3; the first DC-3 built followed seven DSTs off the production line and was delivered to American.[5]
The amenities of the DC-3 and DST popularized air travel in the United States. With only three refueling stops, eastbound transcontinental flights crossing the U.S. in approximately 15 hours became possible. Westbound trips took 171⁄2 hours due to prevailing headwinds—still a significant improvement over the competing Boeing 247. During an earlier era, such a trip would entail short hops in slower and shorter-range aircraft during the day, coupled with train travel overnight.[6]
A variety of radial engines were available for the DC-3 throughout the course of its development. Early-production civilian aircraft used Wright R-1820 Cyclone 9s, but later aircraft (and most military versions) used the Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasp which offered better high-altitude and single engine performance. Three DC-3S Super DC-3s with Pratt & Whitney R-2000 Twin Wasps were built in the late 1940s.
Total production of all derivatives was 16,079.[7] More than 400 remained in commercial service in 1998. Production was as follows:
607 civil variants of the DC-3.
10,048 military C-47 derivatives were built at Santa Monica, California, Long Beach, California, and Oklahoma City.
4,937 were built under license in Soviet Union as the Lisunov Li-2 (NATO reporting name: Cab).
487 Mitsubishi Kinsei-engined aircraft were built by Showa and Nakajima in Japan, as the L2D2–L2D5 Type 0 transport (Allied codename Tabby).
Production of civil DC-3s ceased in 1942; military versions were produced until the end of the war in 1945. In 1949, a larger, more powerful Super DC-3 was launched to positive reviews. However, the civilian market was flooded with second-hand C-47s, many of which were converted to passenger and cargo versions. As a result only three Super DC-3s were built and delivered for commercial use the following year. The prototype Super DC-3 served the US Navy with the designation YC-129 alongside 100 R4Ds that had been upgraded to the Super DC-3 specification.
Turboprop conversions
From the early 1950s, some DC-3s were modified to use Rolls-Royce Dart engines, as in the Conroy Turbo Three. Other conversions featured Armstrong Siddeley Mamba and Pratt & Whitney PT6A turbines.
The Dodson International Turbo Dakota DC-3 is a conversion with an extended fuselage and with Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-65AR engines fitted.[8]
The Basler BT-67 is a conversion of the DC-3/C-47. Basler refurbishes C-47s and DC-3s at Oshkosh, Wisconsin, fitting them with Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-67R turboprop engines, lengthening the fuselage by 40 in (100 cm) with a fuselage plug ahead of the wing and strengthening the airframe in selected areas.[9]
Braddick Specialised Air Services International PTY Ltd in South Africa is another company able to perform a Pratt & Whitney PT6 turboprop conversion of DC-3s. Over 50 DC-3/C-47s / 65ARTP / 67RTP / 67FTPs have been modified.[10]
Conroy Aircraft also made a three engine conversion with Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6 called the Conroy Tri-Turbo-Three.
Operational history
American Airlines inaugurated passenger service on June 26, 1936, with simultaneous flights from Newark, N.J. and Chicago, IL.[11] Early U.S. airlines like American, United, TWA and Eastern ordered over 400 DC-3s. These fleets paved the way for the modern American air travel industry, quickly replacing trains as the favored means of long-distance travel across the United States. A nonprofit group, Flagship Detroit Foundation, continues to operate the only original American Airlines Flagship DC-3 with air show and airport visits throughout the U.S.[12]
In 1936, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines received their first DC-3, which replaced the DC-2 in service from Amsterdam via Batavia (now Jakarta) to Sydney, by far the longest scheduled route in the world at the time.
The first airline in Latin America to use DC-3s was Cubana de Aviación, initially placing them in service on domestic routes, and then using them to start their first scheduled international service from Havana to Miami in 1945. This was the first scheduled service to Miami by a Latin American airline. Cubana used DC-3s on some domestic routes well into the 1960s.
Piedmont Airlines operated DC-3/C-47s from 1948 to 1963. A DC-3 painted in the representative markings of Piedmont, operated by the Carolinas Aviation Museum, was retired from flight in March 2011. Both Delta Air Lines and Continental Airlines once operated commemorative DC-3s wearing period markings.
During World War II, many civilian DC-3s were drafted for the war effort and just over 10,000 US military versions of the DC-3 were built, under the designations C-47, C-53, R4D, and Dakota. Peak production was reached in 1944, with 4,853 being delivered. The armed forces of many countries used the DC-3 and its military variants for the transport of troops, cargo, and wounded.
Licensed copies of the DC-3 were built in Japan as Showa L2D (487 aircraft) and in the USSR as the Lisunov Li-2 (4,937 aircraft)[7]
Thousands of surplus C-47s, previously operated by several air forces, were converted for civilian use after the war and became the standard equipment of almost all the world's airlines, remaining in front line service for many years. The ready availability of cheap, easily maintained ex-military C-47s, both large and fast by the standards of the day, jump-started the worldwide post-war air transport industry. While aviation in pre-war Continental Europe had used the metric system, the overwhelming dominance of C-47s and other US war-surplus types cemented the use of nautical miles, knots and feet in post-war aviation throughout the world.
Douglas developed an improved version, the Super DC-3, with more engine power, greater cargo capacity and a different wing, but with all the bargain-priced surplus aircraft available, they did not sell well in the civil aviation market. Only five were delivered, three of them to Capital Airlines. The U.S. Navy had 100 of their early R4Ds converted to Super DC-3 standard during the early 1950s as the R4D-8, later C-117D. The last U.S. Navy C-117 was retired July 12, 1976.[13] The last U.S. Marine Corps C-117, serial 50835, was retired from active service during June 1982. Several remained in service with small airlines in North and South America in 2006.[14]
A number of aircraft companies attempted to design a "DC-3 replacement" over the next three decades (including the very successful Fokker F27 Friendship), but no single type could match the versatility, rugged reliability and economy of the DC-3. It remained a significant part of air transport systems well into the 1970s.
Douglas DC-3 today
There are still small operators with DC-3s in revenue service and as cargo aircraft. The common saying among aviation buffs and pilots is that "the only replacement for a DC-3 is another DC-3". The aircraft's legendary ruggedness is enshrined in the lighthearted description of the DC-3 as "a collection of parts flying in loose formation."[15] Its ability to take off and land on grass or dirt runways makes it popular in developing countries, where runways are not always paved.
Some uses of the DC-3 include aerial spraying, freight transport, passenger service, military transport, missionary flying, and sport skydiving shuttling and sightseeing.
Perhaps unique among prewar aircraft, the DC-3 is in daily use. The very large number of civil and military operators of the DC-3/C-47s and related types, means that a listing of all the airlines, air forces and other current operators is impractical. As of 2012, DC-3 #10 is still used daily for flights in Colombia.[16] Buffalo Airways, based in Canada's Northwest Territories, operates scheduled DC-3 passenger service between their main base in Yellowknife and Hay River, plus some passenger charter operations, using DC-3s. Some DC-3s are also used by the airline for cargo operations.[17]
The oldest surviving DST is N133D, the sixth Douglas Sleeper Transport built in 1936. This aircraft was delivered to American Airlines on July 12, 1936 as NC16005. The aircraft is at Shell Creek Airport (F13), Punta Gorda, Florida, where it is undergoing restoration. The aircraft will be restored back to Douglas Sleeper Transport standards, and full airworthiness.[18]
The oldest DC-3 still flying is the original American Airlines Flagship Detroit (c/n 1920, #34 off the Santa Monica production line),[19] which can be seen at airshows around the United States and is owned and operated by the nonprofit Flagship Detroit Foundation.[20]
Basic price of a new DC-3 in 1936 was around £18-23,000 and by 1960 used examples were available for £25,000.[21]
A 1943 DC-3 was installed as a major design element atop architectural renovations at The Roasterie in Kansas City, Missouri.[22]

Erich and I are taking a much-needed break from life next week — we're finally going on our honeymoon! I'm unplugging all next week and over the Fourth of July weekend, so no Ezer posts during that time.
Also: Because we'll (hopefully) be moving into our apartment sometime in early July and because I'm getting ready to teach kindergarten this fall, the number of Ezer posts might drop from five a week to two or three a week. I'll see how my schedule shakes out.
But stick around until July! Stay tuned for wedding photos, an apartment tour, and a sneak peek into my teaching prep.

Feng Shui, also known as fengshui, is a Chinese traditional art and science that is thought to have originated around 3000 years ago. According to the geomancy technique of divination in China, it translates as a component of wind (Feng) and water (Shui) conveying a sign of prosperity or calamity, depending on its situational posture. Fengshui, also known as pseudoscience and physiognomy, is an ancient body of knowledge that is deeply ingrained in the Chinese cultural stereotype. It is defined as a culturally specific expression and essence of energy force that benefits individuals by harmonising existing forces in their surroundings.
Fengshui Or Feng Shui Constituents
Wind and water - Fengshui's literal translation indicates that it is made up of wind and water and has roots stretching back over 3000 years. This Chinese metaphysic is said to be an efficient booster of good fortune, wealth, and well-being in one's home or business.
Yin and Yang - In feng shui, the Yin component symbolises the feminine and passive energy force, whereas the Yang component represents the masculine and warm energy force.
Basic Feng Shui Principles
A home can release the precise sort of energy flows throughout the property for a lifetime based on the placement of furniture and other things by a homeowner, according to the basic Principle of Fengshui. Geomancers are fengshui experts who utilise mathematical calculations to determine what a property or house has for its owner and how the fengshui of the property will impact the owner's life in the future.
The three concepts of Fengshui are energy, natural element, and bagua. Feng shui's energy concept depicts life force in motion as it flows around a property's surroundings. When the flow of such energy force is impeded or trapped owing to specific defects or flaws, according to fengshui interpretations, an adverse consequence occurs. Fire, earth, metal, water, air, space, and wood are the natural components of fengshui. Each of the components has its own set of characteristics. All of these components are harmonized in feng shui to create a positive energy force.
Feng Shui And China
Feng shui is a Chinese geomancy that dates back over 3000 years. This ancient body of knowledge provides techniques for designing structures in such a way that occupants would have pleasure and wealth for the rest of their lives. Fengshui is a criteria for deciding where an object should be placed in a home to allow for the free flow of energy. In China, residences are frequently built according to feng shui principles, with particular attention paid to the framework, layout, colors, and materials.
Long ago, the Chinese had perfected the skill of sensing an unseen energy source under the earth. They termed such earth forces Yin and Yang, which led to the creation of the compass, which eventually replaced the Sun dial as a tool for determining the sun's direction and the time of day. Feng shui is widely used in China, and awareness of it has spread around the world, implying that if the principles of feng shui are implemented methodologically, it is a reliable approach for increasing happiness, well-being, and prosperity in the lives of property owners.
