Could the Climate Crisis Spell the End for Maine Lobster?

Kristan Porter grew up in a fishing family in the fishing community of Cutler, Maine, where he says all roads lead to one career path: fishing. (Porter's father was the family's lone exception. He suffered from terrible seasickness, and so became a carpenter.) The 49-year-old, who has been working on boats since he was a kid and fishing on his own since 1991, says that the recent warming of Maine's cool coastal waters has yielded unprecedented lobster landings.
"The temperature of the Gulf of Maine is creating the right conditions for lobster, so it's helped our industry—and it's been a big boost for the Maine economy," Porter, the current president of the Maine Lobstermen's Association, said. "But you never know what lies ahead. If it continues to warm, it may end up going the other way."
The Gulf of Maine is setting frequent temperature records and warming faster overall than 99 percent of the world's oceans, due in large part to climate change. Meanwhile, its lobster population skyrocketed by 515 percent between 1984 and 2014. In 1990, for example, lobster landings in Maine totaled 28 million pounds. Ten years later that figure was up to 57 million pounds. And in every year since 2011, the take has exceeded 100 million pounds, peaking at 132.6 million pounds in 2016 and turning lobster into a half-billion-dollar industry for the state.
Fishermen like Porter have been reaping the benefits of the boom, but he's right — as the Gulf of Maine's waters inevitably continue to warm, lobster populations will almost certainly decrease. The crustaceans thrive at temperatures between 61 and 64 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the water hits 70 degrees, its oxygen levels plummet, to the detriment of a host of marine plants and animals, lobsters included. According to a 2018 study, the gulf's lobster population could fall by 40 to 62 percent over the next 30 years, returning the industry — the nation's most valuable fishery — to early-2000s numbers.
"Temperature is a big part of the story here," said Andrew Pershing, chief scientific officer at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute (GMRI) and a coauthor of the study. "Lobster is likely to decline, and that's obviously more worrisome in the North, where it has been booming."

Marine scientist Susie Arnold of the Rockland, Maine–based Island Institute notes that rising temperatures have also contributed to a decline in other fisheries like shrimp, cod and scallops, leaving fishermen in Maine precariously dependent on the thriving lobster populations. "A lot of fishermen in coastal communities in Maine are relying on just one fishery, and as we're seeing the impacts of climate change, that definitely gets people worried," she said. In response, Arnold and her colleagues are encouraging fishermen to think about diversification opportunities like aquaculture. "We're trying to help coastal communities maintain their cultural heritage, and a large part of that has to do with making a living off a healthy marine ecosystem."
State lawmakers, too, are taking note of the warming trend and rising up in support of climate action. Maine Governor Janet Mills cited concerns about climate change impacting the lobster industry in her February announcement that the state would join the U.S. Climate Alliance. She has also linked the recent creation of a Maine Climate Council and ambitious statewide renewable energy goals to the health of local fisheries. (Mills recently signed several climate bills into law that will help the state transition to 80 percent renewable energy by 2030 and reduce emissions 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050.)
Such a head-on response to the impacts of climate change facing Maine offers a much-needed boost to the future of both lobsters and the coastal communities that rely on the fishery. Meanwhile, the iconic sea creatures have already benefited from generations of conservation efforts, as noted by Pershing and his fellow researchers. In addition to heeding minimum and maximum catch size limits, fishers must refrain from taking any egg-bearing female lobsters. Instead, when they catch these breeders, they clip their tails with a "V notch,"—a mark that will stay with a lobster through several molts—then release them. (The clipped tail signals to other fisherman who may encounter the same lobsters that they are off-limits.)
Porter and other fisherman liken this investment in the future of the industry to putting money in the bank. And marine scientists, including NRDC's Lisa Suatoni, call it smart climate policy. "Leaving these large, fecund females in the water is a really good idea in the context of a rapidly changing environment," Suatoni said. "It isn't just fixated on how to get maximum sustainable yield but also expanding our objective to also get increased ecological or evolutionary resilience."
The decline of the lobster industry in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island, where waters are warmer and regulations less stringent than in Maine, serves as a cautionary tale for their northern neighbor. Landings in southern New England shrank by as much as 70 percent from 1997 to 2007, but the industry has resisted many conservation measures, and again rejected fishing restrictions brought to the table by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission in 2017.
The proposed restrictions would have changed the legal harvesting size and reduced the number of traps allowed per fisherman, among other regulation changes. Had Maine followed the same lax approach, Pershing and his colleagues estimate that lobster populations in the Gulf of Maine would have increased by less than half as much as it did during their 30-year study period.
While Pershing praises Maine's forward-looking approach for boosting the resilience of its lobster industry in the face of the growing climate crisis, "there's a limit to how much we can adapt and how much we can manage around it," he said. "When you look beyond 2050 in a high-CO2 world, it's a scenario where fisheries are really challenged no matter where you look in the country. We have to figure out how to avoid that because everything gets so much more difficult in that world—and we can make that case in a really concrete way with some of the fishery models."
Pershing says that climate change is having impacts up and down the food chain in the Gulf of Maine. For example, a sharp decline in a species of tiny copepod — a shrimp-like creature that is a favorite food of herring, seabirds and endangered right whales — is putting further stress on these creatures.
"These aren't just faraway changes that are happening in the ocean where nobody really sees them," Pershing said. "There are real consequences for the Gulf of Maine and the communities that live on the coast."

Spheruleus is the solo recording moniker for Lincolnshire, UK based artist Harry Towell. The project began in 2009 after a couple of years of experimenting with sounds recorded to a dictaphone and pitched down samples to create experimental soundscapes. By March 2009 and after a particularly cold winter, the Earth Mantra netlabel released the first 4 pieces of Spheruleus material created from field recordings, drones and guitar sounds by brother Stuart Towell. Later that year, Earth Mantra and Test Tube released 2 further productions with the latter being a much darker musique concrete leaning record.
2010 was to be the year that the Spheruleus project really got up and running as British label Under The Spire released Frozen Quarters as a limited edition CDr in handmade cardboard packaging. The success of this album proper was joined by the inception of Harry's own netlabel Audio Gourmet which specialises in free 15 minute EPs. Naturally this became home from home for a few more Spheruleus releases. The success of Audio Gourmet thrust Towell into the thriving home listening, DIY Ambient and sound art scenes and as a result, 2011 was to be a landmark year. Hibernate agreed to release concept album Voyage in a run of 200 copies, with artwork from photographer Richard Outram and Fluid Radio's Dan Crossley. Elsewhere Harry had begun working alongside Polish artist Pleq and between them they were responsible for A Silent Swaying Breath, a record in which they assembled hundreds of sounds and recordings from artists across the globe. 2011 became complete with another collaboration with Pleq and also Japanese artist Hiroki Sasajima in which they produced Time and Language, released on vinyl by Felt Recordings.
2012 became another bumper year for the Spheruleus sound as it evolved steadily. Harry had been amassing a collection of acoustic instruments over the years and developing different techniques influenced by his diverse taste in music. Another collaboration with Pleq, for Time Released Sound, a collaboration with Ekca Liena for the superb Home Normal label and a release on newly-formed Japanese label Analogpath are but a few examples of work released in 2012. That's not to mention Cyanometry which became the very first limited edition CDr on Tessellate Recordings, Harry's own label for physical sound items.
2013 was a quieter year as focus was shifted towards other projects including the Warehouse Decay label and Harry's music blog Irregular Crates. The year did yield Clearings, The Possibility Of Loss and a split double 3″ CDr release with Strom Noir.
2014 saw just two releases as Harry self-released a hand-made, limited edition Selected Works edition which showcases previous material in the form of a gapless DJ mix as well as a self-released digital EP Cast Off. 2015 followed with more activity as Harry put out Peripheres on Eilean Records as well as more self-released digital work in Chronota and The Lost Gold E.P.
Now into the seventh year of operation, the Spheruleus sound has evolved to incorporate all of the elements dabbled in along the way. Warm acoustic drones, lo-fi modern classical chamber music, light noise experiments, subtle beats and disheveled rustic folk are a few of these elements which are sure to expand over the forthcoming years.


The rgba property allows red, green, and blue—along with the fourth parameter for setting opacity, alpha—to be specified without the child elements inheriting it. In this case, the background would have been red with a 70% opacity. That's one line of code and no images. Not a problem in AIR.
The documentation for Adobe AIR 1.5 say the CSS "opacity" property is not supported, but you can use rgba()! So nice.

Karel Kuffner (5. prosince 1858 Mirovice – 22. února 1940 Praha) byl český psychiatr, profesor Univerzity Karlovy v Praze, autor první učebnice psychiatrie v češtině (1897), ve které představil českou psychiatrickou terminologii. Je považován za otce české vědecké psychiatrie.

Život

Mládí
Narodil se v Mirovicích v jižních Čechách v české měšťanské rodině, která se nedlouho předtím přestehovala z Blatné. Jeho bratry byli Hanuš Kuffner, pozdější novinář, spisovatel a vojenský historik, a novinář Jozef Kuffner, sestry Jiřina a Johanna se posléze staly učitelkami, mj, v pražském Ženském výrobním spolku. Vystudoval Karlovu univerzitu v Praze, poté působil jako sekundář profesora Josefa Kratochvíla (1830–1893) v pražském Zemském ústavu choromyslných. Roku 1889 absolvoval roční studijní stáž u profesora Theodora Meynerta ve Vídni.

Odborná a pedagogická praxe
V letech 1900 až 1929 působil jako řádný profesor psychiatrie na české univerzitě v Praze. Byl autorem mnoha děl v češtině a němčině. Zavedl termín schizoformit, odkazující na případy údajné schizofrenie. Ve své klasifikaci duševních nemocí rozdělil demence na primární a sekundární, zavedl termíny demence simplex consecutiva (rámcově odpovídající tehdy používanému termínu demence praecox) a pro demenci bez psychotických příznaků použil termín demence praecox primitiva. .

Kuffnerovými studenty a spolupracovníky byli mj. Jan Janský, Antonín Heveroch, Zdeněk Mysliveček, Ladislav Haškovec, Leo Taussig, Karel Bělohradský a Hubert Procházka. Spolupracoval také při tvorbě a redakcí Ottova slovníku naučného.

Ještě roku 1914 byl rodinným stavem uváděn jako svobodný.

Úmrtí
Zemřel 22. února 1940 v Praze ve věku 71 let a byl pohřben na Olšanských hřbitovech.

Roku 1958 byla budova psychiatrické kliniky v Plzni přejmenována na Kuffnerův pavilon.

If your child is suffering from behavioral disorders, we are here to help. Located in Pittsburgh, PA, Southwood offers leading behavioral disorders treatment for children and adolescents.
In order to achieve our mission of providing quality health, education, and assisted living services to all troubled children and adolescents, Southwood Psychiatric Hospital provides comprehensive treatment and specialized programming for a number of different concerns. Our compassionate staff has years of experience working with children and adolescents between the ages of 10 and 21, and has the ability to effectively treat the vast array of concerns and conditions affecting these young people.
One group of conditions that often afflicts young people and that Southwood is fully equipped to treat are behavioral health disorders. Behavioral health disorders are those that often include a pattern of hostile, aggressive, or disruptive behaviors. When children or adolescents are suffering from behavioral disorders they are eventually going to experience a number of difficulties in almost all areas of their life. Their ability to succeed academically may decline, they may face many disciplinary actions, and may be unable to establish and maintain relationships with their peers. The longer that these disorders go untreated, the potential for the development of even more serious consequences increases. Furthermore, the presence of a behavioral health disorder will not only effect the young person, but the whole family unit as well.
Fortunately, while the consequences of behavioral health disorders can be detrimental to a child or adolescent's life, there are different treatment options available that can help young people who are struggling with these disorders learn the skills needed to manage their behavior and prevent the development of long-lasting negative effects.
At Southwood Psychiatric Hospital we provide a therapeutic, structured program that provides our patients and their families with the ability to gain basic insight to their illness and be able to develop positive strategies that will promote long-term healing.

THE OTHER FACE OF LOVE: Dialogues With the Prison Experience of Albert Speer by Miriam Pollard (Crossroad: 179 pp., $17.95) The sheer audacity of this book is what draws us in. Pollard, a Cistercian nun living (peacefully, we assume) in a convent in Wrentham, Mass., dares to consider the guilt and redemption of Speer, Hitler's favorite architect and armaments minister for the Third Reich during much of World War II. Confined for 20 years in Berlin's Spandau Prison for war crimes--millions of slave laborers suffered under his orders--Speer underwent a religious conversion. Was it genuine? Pollard says yes. Can we, without trivializing the Nazis' atrocities, believe that God not only could exist but could forgive Speer? Yes again. Do Speer's prison diaries indicate that he ever felt forgiven? Probably not.
Pollard 's theology appears to be orthodox, but she chooses among Christianity's more compassionate strains in this meditation on sin, repentance and divine mercy. She holds, as Kurt Vonnegut does in "Mother Night," that most of us, plunked down in Germany in the 1930s, would have been Nazis too. Given Speer's loveless childhood, his ambition and his administrative genius, we might have committed similar crimes. Our good luck in escaping his temptations is only that, she says--not virtue. What these "dialogues" lack is what Speer's death in 1981 ruled out in the beginning: He can't reply directly to Pollard's interpretation of his often eloquent journal entries; it's a one-sided conversation.


Market risk has become a dramatically more complex discipline over recent years, with increased focus on internal risk standards, evolving market conditions and significantly increased regulatory requirements being the major drivers of change. This pace of change shows no signs of abating anytime soon and as a result the magnitude of challenge that market risk professionals face is of a different order to other functions.
There's a lot to take in and learn at the moment with topics like FRTB and IRRBB being just a few of the elements risk managers needs to get up to speed on very quickly. The course also looks at the evidence that illustrates the manner in which most major asset classes are more correlated than they were historically. This obviously presents both challenges and opportunities to asset allocators and risk managers.
The biggest challenges are those which increase the likelihood of systemic risk as unorthodox monetary policies proliferate, the changing micro-structure of markets with HFT platforms which can heighten market liquidity risk and the consequential lack of a proper assessment of diversification with a bank's trading book or investment portfolio.
Issues which are all addressed in this groundbreaking course.
To make your studies more relevant and valuable, the course is validated by the Business School at Middlesex University at a Postgraduate Certificate level. For those wishing to receive a Postgraduate Certificate from Middlesex University, an additional marked assignment of 5000 words will need to be submitted, based on a continuing case study that runs throughout the duration of the course.

Home Business Minority demands govt's position on Ameri deal
Minority demands govt's position on Ameri deal
The Ameri deal was signed in 2015
The minority in parliament is demanding government's position regarding the Ameri deal.
In a press briefing Wednesday July 26, 2017, the minority leader, Haruna Iddrisu said there is a notice of a motion filed by the MP for Adansi Asokwa, Kobina Tahir Hammond seeking a rescission Order on the Ameri power deal.
The Order, according to the Tamale South MP, is requesting parliament to rescind its decision on the deal for reasons of gross misrepresentation. The minority is therefore demanding government's position.
He said, "We want to know the official government position on the matter as the contract is in force and the matter even if parliament took a decision will have consequences on our energy generation and even 'dumsor'".
The minority leader went further to question the parliamentary procedure that K.T Hammond is using to seek for the abrogation of the contract.
"We are also at a loss whether a Member of Parliament can just wake up as disgruntled as a member may be to seek to rescind a decision of a previous parliament. This was a decision of the 6th Parliament of Ghana. We want to know the particular standing orders he is revoking," he quizzed.
They advised the Adansi Asokwa MP to seek legal redress in the courts if he feels something is wrong with the contractual arrangements.
"I should think the appropriate forum for him [K.T Hammond] will be to go to court to attack the fundamentals of the terms of the contract which is in force but not to sleep and just wake up midday and say he wants a rescission by parliament".

He maintained that the Ameri intervention has been useful for the country for which reason its abrogation will have consequences especially regarding the one who would bear the responsibility in the event that it is abrogated.
The John Mahama administration in 2015, agreed to rent the 300MW of emergence power from Africa and Middle East Resources investment group (AMERI) at the peak of the country's power crisis to build, own, operate and transfer the plant to Ghana.
The decision was taken when Dr. Kwabena Donkor was Power Minister.
The cost of the deal was $510m, and received parliamentary approval on 20th March 2015.
However, the NPP government has raised some concerns about the contract alleging it emerged that the country has been shortchanged.

Think death is inevitable? Follow some of these theories to achieve immortality.
Step 1: Accomplish something worthy of being eternally memorialized, and ensure your legacy lives on long after you're gone.
FACT: The jellyfish Turritopsis nutricula can revert to a sexually immature state after reaching adulthood, making it, potentially, immortal.
TIP: Be careful: creating post-humans may lead to a developmental singularity that results in the end of human civilization.
Step 2: Use technology to achieve immortality. Study robotics and computers; then, develop a system to upload the information in your brain to an inorganic being that's immune to the ravages of disease or age.
Step 3: Recognize that happiness is fleeting and that desire leads to suffering. Then, meditate to help achieve enlightenment, when many Eastern religions believe your soul enters a state of deathlessness.
Step 4: Find a mystical source of immortality. Set off on a quest to locate the Fountain of Youth, a spring of water that individuals throughout history have believed can help those who find it achieve eternal life.
Step 5: Prepare your body to resist disease, aging, and traumatic injuries. Eat a balanced diet with fruits and vegetables rich in cell-protecting antioxidants, and get plenty of exercise.


I got tired of looking at that Windows Messenger icon in the tool tray so I found a way to stop it from loading.
You need to edit the registry so be careful!
In addition, you may want to disable the Windows Messenger Service, which sounds similar although it serves a different function. Still, it's another source of possible spyware and viruses so you might as well disable it.

I decided to remove the Notifyalert.exe program from a Dell PC which appeared to be slowing it down. The program is part of the Dell Support program that you can normally remove under Add / Remove Programs. Apparently this only works for version 3. If you have version 2 of Dell Support then the Add / Remove programs function can fail.
If you have version 2 of the Dell Support program, you need to reinstall the program and then remove it. Go to http://support.dell.com/ and do a search on "uninstall dell support" which will give you a link to the uninstall program.

Northern Light Sebasticook Valley Hospital was named a Top Rural Hospital by The Leapfrog Group for the eighth year highlighting its nationally recognized achievements in patient safety and quality.
The Leapfrog Group, an independent hospital watchdog organization, announced its Top Hospital awards today. The Leapfrog Top Rural Hospital award is widely acknowledged as one of the most competitive honors American hospitals can receive.
Poviding this level of care to patients in Pittsfield and the surrounding communities requires motivation and drive from every team member.
The Leapfrog Group considers performance across many areas of hospital care in establishing the qualifications for the award, including infection rates, maternity care, and the hospital's capacity to prevent medication errors. The rigorous standards are defined in each year's Top Hospital Methodology.
To qualify for the Top Hospitals distinction, hospitals must submit a Leapfrog Hospital Survey and achieve the highest performance in its category. The selection of Top Hospitals 2018 is based on surveys from nearly 1,900 hospitals.


In 2012 we initiated a project called gettingthere.ca to draw attention to the diminishing intercity public transportation options for Stratford and for SW Ontario. Realizing that this issue was not unique to SW Ontario, we expanded our research to national levels.
• Engage in community outreach, providing public transportation background, updates, and action opportunities, in Stratford and area, and with other CFUW clubs.
• Meet with municipal, provincial and federal government representatives to discuss public transportation.
• Meet with transportation providers, including VIA Rail, Metrolinx, and bus lines.
• Work with the City of Stratford as a partner in transportation advocacy.
• Work with SW Ontario Transportation Alliance (SWOTA), an umbrella group working toward Integrated Public Transportation throughout SW Ontario.
• Sponsored a Rail Forum in Stratford to introduce Network Southwest, a potential strategy for Integrated Public Transportation in SW Ontario.
• Assisted with Rail Forums to introduce Network Southwest in other communities.
• Established a working committee of community leaders committed to recreating rail culture in Stratford as part of welcoming new trains to our City (two additional VIA trains announced in June 2015), pending implementation.
• Are working with the National CFUW Advocacy Chair to request a meeting with the Federal Minister of Transportation.
• Are working with the Provincial CFUW Advocacy Chair to request a meeting with the Provincial Minister of Transportation.

The Workplace of 2040
Today's teens, supported by advances in digital technologies, will dictate how and where they want to work when they grow up.
NINA HAS NEVER KNOWN a world without the Internet. In 2040, she will be one of millions of workers who leverage technology to create work patterns radically different than those of today and achieve a satisfying work-life balance.
Nina will rapidly embrace profound changes imposed through the exponential growth of technology, artificial intelligence and biosciences during the next quarter century. Like the entrepreneurs of today, she will not commute to work every day, and will frequently work from home, relying heavily on technology to accomplish many work tasks.
When Nina does go to the office, she will be going to a very different place than the office of today. Her co-working campus will be a city within a city. This large, connected, community will be centered around small environments or nooks, all built to human scale; a place where she can network with others in a highly experiential environment. She will consider a visit to this "trophy workplace" a reward rather than a burden.
Far from being a scene from a science fiction movie, these and similar scenarios are the result of sophisticated future trends research carried out by CBRE Global Workplace Solutions (formerly Johnson Controls Global WorkPlace Solutions, GWS), reviewed and challenged by industry experts. The Smart Workplace 2040 report suggests work will be something people do rather than a place to which they commute, and envisions how this will affect the everyday lives of employees and businesses.
The research has far-reaching consequences for city planners, office developers, employers, corporate real estate managers and facilities managers, all of whom will need to adapt to the changing demands, aspirations and expectations of the next generation of digital workers.
Six years ago, GWS described how technology would transform the way people work by 2030. Since then, the world has experienced a significant acceleration in technological developments with the launch of the iPad; the adoption of wearable technologies such as Bluetooth, smart watches and activity trackers; and greater acceptance of remote working. This new report takes the vision a step further.
Companies and other organizations — many of which do not currently support the types of collaborative work that the office workers of today and tomorrow expect to undertake — must rethink the traditional real estate model and the working environment itself. Those workers will want and need to spend more time working in team spaces with built-in collaborative technologies, often using video conferencing; they will spend more time in dedicated collaboration rooms and far less time at their desks — if they even have assigned desks — or in traditional meeting rooms. Collaborative spaces therefore will be of utmost importance, and technology must be available and easy to manage. Building occupation will not be a constant, so businesses will need to draw on metrics regarding office use. Consequently, financiers, owners and real estate developers will need to factor fluidity of occupation into their portfolios.
These trends will continue to change the way we work in the future. Technology will make us even more agile, connected and mobile. The globalization of business will significantly change working hours, and workers will demand more flexibility in terms of how, where and when they work, reflecting changing work-life balance expectations.
The impact of societal and digital transformations will directly affect workplace functions in a number of arenas, including the following.
Facilities Management. Focusing workspaces on end users' needs and constantly evolving demands will require the development of technology-based service solutions such as the incorporation of adaptive white noise technology to enable a first-rate telepresence session in an open environment.
Real Estate. A dispersed real estate model with mixed facilities and multipurpose environments could become the norm, to allow fast response to changes in user needs and to meet new customer use patterns and demands.
Workplace Design. Employers and workers will be looking for social, cohesive and adaptive working environments, places that empower users and teams across different work contexts and collaboration modes. Designers will need to develop intuitive interfaces to improve the user experience among highly connected workers.
Service Delivery. Building owners and managers will need to respond in real time to user demand by integrating invisible "shy-tech" solutions: nonintrusive, fully immersive technologies that unobtrusively track user activities and record user experiences within the office environment.
Health. The workplace of tomorrow will provide wellness services to sustain the well-being of employees and avoid technological burnout.
Industry leaders should already be thinking about balancing the desires of today's and tomorrow's workforces with future business needs. This will ensure that workplaces are fit for tomorrow's workers as well as fit for the businesses of the future.

The Business of Teaching: Encouraging Innovation, Accountability, and Professionalism in Education
At The BERC Group, we visit many schools for many reasons. More often than not, they are struggling and under-performing. This fall, I had the privilege of visiting a once-failing school in a high poverty neighborhood. Despite its almost 100% free/reduced lunch status, extreme diversity, and high level of academic needs, the school had made great strides in improving student performance. Reflecting back upon many other schools I have visited, I wondered how the vibe at this particular school could be so different. Where were their excuses? Weren't they frustrated by the deficits of the clientele they serve? Why didn't they blame their circumstances like so many other schools?
One of the biggest differences I could identify comes down to a simple shift in philosophy: the leaders of this school ran it like a business, and everyone behaved like a professional. This is not to say that administrators and teachers at other schools are not professionals, but many schools do not adhere to such high standards. Let me see if I can explain the nuances of this difference.
Modeling Success
One difference was simply the way the staff members dressed. Nearly everyone, men and women, wore business suits or other professional attire. Does a suit make you a good teacher? Certainly not. But it does add a level of respect. It suggests to students and parents that they are important enough to dress up for and models how education can help them rise above their circumstances. In the same vein, staff members intentionally engage families in the education process. The school shares progress toward school improvement goals with families and community stakeholders during community meetings and site council. In addition, a staff member shared, "We take families on learning walks through classrooms so they can see it firsthand. We are trying to build that knowledge level for families."
Expecting Success
Staff members also work to ensure that academic expectations and challenges are high for all students, regardless of their background or prior performance. Teachers work with their students to set goals for the future. Even at the elementary level, "College is definitely a discussion and we are talking about that with all of our students, trying to integrate this into our language daily," shared a staff member.
Room for Innovation
Part of what makes this school so successful is a shared mindset and mission amongst staff members. Everyone is very cognizant of where the school came from and where they want it to end up. A staff member said, "This school was one of 200 most failing schools. We are always asking, how has the current system served our kids, and how can we break free from the ranks of that? We have a very visionary team that doesn't want to repeat past failures." In order to accomplish this, administrators have managed to strike a balance between holding high expectations and providing the space and flexibility to allow staff members to succeed. "At first, there had to be some intense monitoring, but that can cause fear and inefficiencies," shared an administrator, "There has to be an emphasis that it is okay to take risks…and it is okay to fall on your face. You can't always crack the whip if you want innovation."
According to staff members, school leaders remain current in research and regularly engage staff members in conversations focused on applying research-based ideas and practices in the classroom. A staff member shared, "One of the things I love is our principal is constantly providing us with literature and things we can apply to our circumstances here. We are constantly learning." When asked how they are supported in taking risks and making innovations to their practice, a staff member replied, "It's encouraged as long as you are trying to teach the Common Core and have that foundation." Another staff member's response mirrored the mentality of the administration: "For me, it was a learning curve to realize they really meant 'take risks,' and it wasn't just lip service, and it was okay if failure was involved. They were more interested in what worked and how to change practices for the better." School leaders recognize and respect the implications of asking teachers to innovate, understanding theory is being put into practice, and there will be bumps along the way.
A Culture of Accountability
In the midst of innovation, there is also accountability. Administrators conduct classroom walkthroughs, sit in on common planning time, and look at data. A staff member shared, "Our administrators are good about coming into classrooms and giving us feedback. That is accountability. They tell us what we are doing well." Another staff member reflected on the formal evaluation process, which is more like a performance review in the business world than the typical "satisfactory" or "unsatisfactory" report card for a teacher:
When I had my formal evaluation last year, it was comprehensive. It wasn't just the district evaluation, but it also reflected the unique pieces of our school integrated into our evaluation. We also did a self-evaluation, and they included it. It was empowering and authentic. It was reflective of what we do here. I got tailored feedback on how I'm achieving the school's goals.
Flexible Hiring
Perhaps one key difference between this school and others is, because of a district initiative, school leaders were allowed to circumvent the seniority list, allowing them to hire personnel whom they believed would best fit with the vision of the school and serve their unique needs. An administrator explained:
The hiring process is about finding the right match. [We look for] someone with a lot of passion for the work, a lot of moral connection to it in the deep meaning behind transforming an underserved community; someone willing to take a risk, fail, and try again; someone who can make sure the students can make a meaningful connection. We have the right team; now it's time to create the culture to allow us to excel.
While not all schools have the option to cherry pick the best and brightest candidates to comprise their staff, all administrators can help bolster the potential and professionalism of their teachers. Although it may not work for all schools to run themselves like businesses, this example makes an interesting case for what education can learn from the business world.

In contrast to many colleges and universities, faculty at Illinois State maintain a strong commitment to undergraduate instruction and mentoring. Every semester, undergraduate students conduct research under faculty supervision. Any research conducted in the Department of Psychology must comply with the Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct of the American Psychological Association.
Students can develop and complete a research project through the Honors Program by enrolling in PSY 299 Independent Honor Study, HON 285, or HON 286 Honors Undergraduate Research. The Honors Program has contracts for these courses. Students should complete the Honors contract with the faculty member who will supervise the research project. After the contract is signed by the student and faculty member, it should be submitted to the department for approval. If approved by the department, the Honors contract will be submitted to the Honors Program for final approval. Students cannot register for the course until the contract is approved by the Honors Program and an override has been processed for the course.
Students should contact Dr. Jeffrey Wagman, the department's Honors Coordinator, at jbwagma@ilstu.edu if they have any questions about Honors Research experiences.
The Honors Colloquium is an opportunity for Honors students to present their theses in a public forum to faculty and other students. At the colloquium, students make oral presentations of their honor theses describing the background, methods used, findings, and conclusions of their research. Family members and friends are welcome to attend. There are two colloquia, during the fall and the spring semesters. In the fall, the Honors Colloquium is held in conjunction with the colloquium for Advanced Research Apprenticeship (PSY 390) students.
Students who have registered for senior thesis hours will receive the Honors Colloquium Registration form in the mail or students can click on the link to download the form.
Honors students assist faculty members with faculty research projects.
This course is comparable to PSY 290, but it is for Honors credit. HON 285 provides an opportunity for students to become familiar with faculty labs and research projects. Students must complete the Honors Program form and have it approved before they can register for HON 285.This course can be taken for 1-3 credits.
HON 286 Honors Undergraduate Research II Continuation of HON 285.
Students must register for the course with the same faculty member for HON 285. Students must complete the Honors Program form and have it approved before registering for HON 286. This course can be taken for 1-3 credits.
HON/PSY 299 Independent Honor Study Intensive work in a special area of students' major or minor. Each individual project is to culminate in a comprehensive written report or examination.
This course is designated as an Independent Honors Study course. This course is similar to HON 285 and 286. However, instead of working on faculty research, students take the primary responsibility for designing and completing their own research project. The Honors Program form should include a description of the research and students' responsibility with the projects (see example below). Students must complete the Honors Program form and have it approved before registering for HON/PSY 299. The course can be taken for 1-6 credits.
HON 395.03 Honors Thesis: Psychology Intensive research in a special area of the student's major. Each individual project is to culminate in a comprehensive written thesis and an oral defense of the thesis.
Students who want to obtain Departmental Honors at graduation should register for HON 395.03. Students must complete the Honors Program form and have it approved before registering for HON 395.03. This course also requires students to have worked in the faculty member's research lab for at least a semester prior to registering for honors thesis hours. PSY 395.03 can be taken for 1-6 credits. However, a minimum of 3 credits of HON 395.03 is needed to satisfy departmental honors requirements.
The honors thesis must be an independent project of students' design. This does not mean students have to come up with their own idea, but it must be a research project where students have primary responsibility and must be substantive enough that students can present their research. This course requires a comprehensive written thesis and an oral defense of the thesis at the department's Honors Colloquium during the fall or spring semester.
The project will involve experiments investigating differences between conscious and automatic memory in terms of forgetting and type of processing in the task. The student will be responsible for all stages of the project including stimulus development, subject running, and data coding and analysis. The student will prepare written paper describing the research and conclusion, and will make a presentation at the Department of Psychology Honors Colloquium.
Note: Honors students may register for PSY 287, 290, and 390, but will not receive Honors credit for these courses. Students may register for a maximum of 15 credits of out-of-class experiences, including Honors designations of these courses.
The department offers Honors sections in content and skill courses, such as for PSY 110, 138, and 231. Students can earn Honors credit by completing the Honors section of these courses.

We dream of happiness and love, we like to loose ourselves in perfect little scenarios that we imagined. Imagination is such an interesting thing, we make up a scenario in seconds and when you go ahead to study it, you realise just how detailed it is. When we're younger the dreams are more frequent and we try to follow them regularly, however as adults even though we keep dreaming sometimes we forget how to materialise these dreams. We should never stop dreaming, but more importantly we should never forget to follow our dreams.

London, UK, 18 February 2016 – Canon today unveils the PowerShot G7 X Mark II, a powerhouse compact camera offering unprecedented levels of control and incredible image quality in every shot. Building on the acclaimed PowerShot G7 X, the PowerShot G7 X Mark II is the first camera to include Canon's new DIGIC 7 processor. Coupled with a 1.0-type 20.1 megapixel CMOS sensor and 4.2x optical zoom lens, the camera is perfect for capturing photos and videos worthy of sharing, printing and displaying, without filters or extensive editing.
The PowerShot G7 X Mark II distils great camera performance into a compact body – it's been ergonomically designed to fit the aesthetic of the PowerShot G series, while offering intuitive handling and immediate access to the controls you need most. With Canon's precision optics, lightning speeds, full manual control and enhanced connectivity, the PowerShot G7 X Mark II is a refined camera for anyone looking to take control and shoot their own way.
The PowerShot G7 X Mark II's Lens Control Ring gives you customisable access to the most important settings, with a dual function switching from step to smooth action, perfect for settings suited to incremental changes such as aperture, shutter speed and ISO, as well as more linear changes such as focus. For accurate focusing, MF Peaking immediately highlights what is in focus, visible in an instant on the tilt-up touch screen.
With 14-bit RAW shooting you can capture nuance in colour and portray stylistic flare as you shoot. For minimal post-editing, Pictures Style offers colour pre-sets that can be selected to suit your style, or the scene you're capturing. Picture Style profiles are customisable and can be used across the EOS DSLR range, letting you maintain the same look and feel in every shot, whatever you're shooting.
Budding movie directors can trust the PowerShot G7 X Mark II to capture Full HD movies with impressive clarity. Full manual control gives you access to every exposure setting, letting you compose and customise every shoot to suit your style. Capturing detail in movies is made simple thanks to the improved subject tracking of DIGIC 7, capturing everything, from shifting facial expressions to sudden movement. Canon's Dynamic Image Stabilisation works with Auto Level to correct camera shake over five axes automatically, ensuring scenes are steady and horizons straight, even when shooting on the move or at unusual angles. For capturing rapid action over a period of time, the camera includes Time-Lapse Movie mode, creating one of a kind, sped-up videos.
The camera's wide range of connectivity features are immediately accessible via the Wi-Fi Button, while Dynamic NFC lets you connect to smart devices with a tap, including the Canon Connect Station CS100. Sharing and backing up to the cloud has never been easier, with Image Sync automatically backing-up files online.
