India Hits Alarming 145,000 COVID-19 Cases In New Single Day Record
According to authorities, India is grappling with an alarming surge in COVID-19 cases, tallying 145,000 patients in a new daily record on Saturday. Deaths in one day — 794 — hit a five-month high.
It was the fifth time the number of cases broke a record in India this week, surging past 100,000 each time as the pandemic continued to spread. Hospitals and crematoria were overwhelmed in parts of the country, Reuters reported.
The nation's 13.2 million total cases are now only behind the U.S. (31.1 million cases) and Brazil (3.4 million cases).
India's total COVID-19 death toll as of Saturday was 168,436. It's a relatively low death rate, given the population, which some experts attribute to the nation's younger population. With a far smaller population, it is 561,780, and Brazil's is 351,334. Mexico's is 209,212.
According to Reuters, authorities in Maharashtra, the Indian state with the highest number of cases, have ordered a weekend lockdown, and some major cities, including Mumbai and New Delhi, have imposed nighttime curfews.
Yet Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a jam-packed election rally of thousands of people, most without masks, in the eastern state of West Bengal on Saturday.
Authorities blame the high numbers on packed, maskless crowds in several localities and poor distribution of an inadequate number of vaccines. Immunization centers were running out of vaccines and turning people away, Bloomberg reported.
India is the world's biggest maker of vaccines and has so far administered 97.5 million doses. But it's home to 1.37 billion people.
Surgeon and leading liver transplant specialist Arvinder Singh Soin is among several medical experts who have criticized the government for its lag in approving other vaccines to boost supply.
"We need to immediately facilitate the approval of the next lot of vaccines," Soin said on Twitter. "Insistence on bridging trials data not relevant anymore given the situation. Millions have had these all over the world."

Heineken just dropped a limited edition shirt collection celebrating world-class Filipino creativity by collaborating with some of the country's best new artists. The Star Collection was created together with local artists to help Filipinos make a mark in the international art scene.
To come up with the creative shirt designs of the collection, Heineken tapped three local artists who are making a name for themselves here and abroad. Jappy Agoncillo, Anina Rubio, and Joseph Luna were chosen to create their own Heineken celebration designs showcasing their unique styles and direction. Each artist has his or her own story that was translated into designs for the limited edition shirts.
An artist from Manila, Jappy specializes in murals, street art, and illustration. His art style exhibits dynamic visuals, bold use of colours, and is highly illustrative. From his love with comic books to skateboarding, he has developed art that reflects pop and counter culture.
Taking most of her inspiration from nature and travels, Anina creates visuals and murals with distinct botanical and marine elements. She uses these to raise awareness and promote earth conservation.
As a self-taught artist based in Cebu City, Joseph has developed skills in various styles in painting, illustrations, murals, concept arts, and animation. He gets inspiration from his passion for exploring something new and fresh to push his limitations in art.
You can get these shirts just by buying Heineken products in your favorite bars, resto-bars, convenience stores, and supermarkets. This mirrors the celebration theme that Heineken is having for the end of the year. Being the star of celebrations, Heineken gives consumers the taste of quality and the feel of Filipino creativity.
You can catch their brand ambassadors in various bars and resto-bars around the metro and key cities every Thursday to Friday until December 15, 2018. By just buying a bucket, you get world-class beer and a limited edition apparel.
For those on-the-go, you can get your own shirt in any 7-eleven branch by buying two Heineken 4-packs starting November 21, 2018. Hosting or gifting to a party? Supermarkets will offer them as well by buying two Heineken 6-packs starting November 26, 2018, just perfect for many types of occasions.

Rockies 2006 - Dynamo Construction 101
By Rox Girl Aug 11, 2005, 3:31pm MDT
Share All sharing options for: Rockies 2006 - Dynamo Construction 101
Part One: Overview of the Project
Part Two: Catcher
The Machine within the Machine With the NL West a shambles, the Rockies are in a prime spot to become playoff competitive as soon as next year, but in order to do this, key needs must be addressed. Starting today we're going to take an in depth look at each position and start gauging whether it's best to stay the course with the player we have or make a move in the offseason. After the series is complete, it's been suggested that it would be fun/informative to give everybody a go at guessing the names of next season's opening twenty-five man roster, so we will include a contest, chintzy Rockies related prizes yet to be determined.
Keep in mind that there could be some unique factors involved in this season's free agent market. The sale of the Washington Nationals franchise figures to be a financial boon to the remaining twenty-nine teams and some of that money will eventually find its way into player salaries, possibly as soon as this offseason in bloated backloaded contracts. The weakness of this free agent class on the whole leads most pundits to think that many players this year will be overpaid just to fill specific needs of various teams.
As far as offseason trades go, with the weak FA crop, the exchange action could be fierce as value conscious teams will see that as the better avenue to fill their needs. Among the other things to keep in mind specifically concerning the Rockies is that for the last three years we have carried one Rule 5 pick throughout the season. Will the team have that luxury this year? Seriously though, if any of you correctly guess the name of a Rule 5 pick of the Rockies for 2006 you'll deserve a special prize anyway.
The Rockies have stated that they are going to have to work with a budget of around forty milion dollars, but Charlie Monfort recently said the team should be able to go over that self imposed cap. By how much? Probably not as much as any of us would like, so for purposes of the exercise we'll try to keep the salary expense below forty five million.
That's all for later though, for right now, I want to take a look at the player outside the foul lines.
To Thieve a Catcher
Current Starter: Danny Ardoin
Current Backup: JD Closser
Completing Rehab: Todd Greene
Greene can guide us to enlightenment on the backstop situation.
Current Situation: The three names above belie the fact that the Rockies don't have one true top backstop as none of the three have the combination of offense and defense to make them viable candidates for full-time duties on contending clubs. Closser's bat has been heating up and while his defense is a bit improved, it still needs a lot of work. Greene's the best option right now, but he's also an offense first catcher whose offense isn't that special to begin with. Ardoin is basically a replacement level player who doesn't figure into our plans.
Possibly available from the farm: Chris Iannetta
I don't like the idea of rushing Iannetta, he seems special certainly and if he merits the call-up great, but I see him more as a mid-season replacement next year rather than the opening day starter.
Potential Free Agents: Ramon Hernandez, Bengie Molina, Brad Ausmus
Hernandez is the only name on the list I really like, as he would be a definite upgrade on what we have. He's been solid for San Diego the last one and a half years and for Oakland for a season before that (before then he was below average as he developed) up until going down with a season ending injury a month ago. He should be back in time for 2006 and the injury will depress his value a bit, maybe enough for us to fit him in our plans. If we were looking for defense only, Molina might be an okay option. Ausmus' best days are long past and they weren't ever that great to begin with. I didn't mention Mike Piazza as he's clearly only going to help some AL team at DH at this point in his career.
Available via trade? There are probably several here to look to as potentially available, Florida has three catchers, Boston too (although we're not dealing with them), and the White Sox and Arizona are other alternatives but our choices might not be limited to them. I'd look to the Marlins first and see if I could swing a deal for Josh Willingham or Ryan Jorgensen as the Marlins are unlikely to need both to backup Lo Duca and Treanor. Willingham would be the ideal choice, in my mind, now that Kelley Shoppach from Boston is off the table. Once we've exhausted our efforts there, then we can look to free-agency.

About Marsons
« SEXTET wins an award | Main
Marsons is a small publishing house. Originally it specialized in books about food. In recent years we have produced a children's picture book, two novels and a memoir.
We have two main authors and we are now proud to announce that they have worked together to produce the latest addition to our list: a wartime story of two girls. The new book by Judy Jackson and Monika Sears is now out.
Publication date 15 February 2019
EPISODES - two girls, two lives, one time
It is a true story, written in the voices of two children, covering the same period: the 2nd World War in Europe.
One is born in London and lives through the Blitz and blackout. The other suffers from Nazi persecution in Poland. EPISODES is an account of the first eleven years of their separate lives from 1939-1945, leading to how they meet in 1950 and continue a friendship which lasts for seven decades.
Available on Amazon Price £11.99 for the paperback book, £4.99 for Kindle
Judy Jackson's second novel is SEXTET. Originally a food writer she has now turned to writing about the world of music. One of the themes in her first novel, The Camel Trail, was food-related and for this reason it won the World Gourmand Award for Best Food Literature Book in the UK in 2007.
SEXTET is not about food. It's about music, adultery and a dilemma. It's a story for our time and will appeal to those who are young, and those who have ever been young.
The book was launched at an event in London on 30th April, 2014. Judy Jackson was chosen as one of ten outstanding authors at the One Big Book Launch at the Free Word Centre. Read about it here

The Camel Trail is a family saga spanning more than a hundred and fifty years
The Levy family kept notebooks and accounts going back to 1840. The story of their lives is dotted with extracts from these journals, giving brief descriptions of the food they ate. As in real life, both happy and tragic events are often bound up with memories of family meals. For the Levys food was more than just a necessity; it was an integral part of their existence, of their place in society.
The Camel Trail is a startling first novel, based on a true story.
It is 1944. Anna Grant inherits a strange legacy from her mother, Dina: a treasure retrieved from a disaster in the Middle East, and a pile of yellowing notebooks . The handwritten pages hint at a world of elegant Victorian tables and lavish balls. Yet behind the apparent calm in the family lies a story of deception and betrayal.
Anna searches for the truth about her grandfather David Levy. What was the catastrophe that left him orphaned in 1837? What brought his seemingly happy marriage to the brink of collapse? She retraces journeys, following a trail from Safed to Gibraltar, from London to Lisbon. While Anna uncovers layers of joy and sadness, revealing the reason for her mother's repressive behaviour, she copes with her own eccentric husband and the problems of bringing up a child in wartime Britain. But it is the final journey that unlocks the mystery of inherited misery. In her search for the origin of the treasure, Anna uncovers a secret that tormented David all his life.
The novel is an exploration of the author's roots - beginning in Safed in the 1830s and moving through Gibraltar, London and Lisbon. A set of authentic notebooks hints at the lives of David Levy and his family, though the intrigue and mystery surrounding his life is revealed gradually, ending in the discovery of a secret that affected the lives of three generations.
The Camel Trail was published in London on 1st March 2007. It is available to order from bookshops (ISBN 978-0-9517220-2-2) or from Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com
The author is available for interview.

iPhone 8 Will Reportedly Be in Super Short Supply
By Don Reisinger 27 June 2017
Very few iPhone 8s will be available to customers when it's released in September.
If you're hoping to get your hands on the iPhone 8, you're going to need to act fast. Very fast.
(Image credit: Benjamin Geskin)
That's the takeaway from a recent Digitimes report, which cited sources who said that Apple's iPhone 8 could face a bottleneck due to its use of OLED screen technology. According to the report, OLED manufacturers are suffering from low yield and high demand, and could leave precious few iPhone 8 display panels in the hands of assemblers.
The problem is so concerning, in fact, that Samsung Display has only promised enough panels to accommodate Apple shipping between 3 million and 4 million iPhone 8 models in September, the Digitimes report says. Apple, which had hoped to ship as many as 70 million iPhone 8 models this year, could have an exceedingly difficult time trying to do that.
Apple's iPhone 8 has been subject of countless rumors over the last several weeks. And many of those rumors have centered on the device's availability. Some reports have said that Apple could experience some delays due to a difficulty in accessing enough panels from customers.
MORE: iPhone 8 Rumors: What to Expect from the 10th Anniversary iPhone
Meanwhile, reports of when the iPhone 8 would launch have been all over the map. Some have said that Apple could release the iPhone 8 on its regular September cadence. Others have suggested that the handset would be pushed back to October or even November, due to low supply of core components.
For its part, Apple hasn't commented on its plans, and won't until it's ready to unveil the handset later this year. However, the rumor mill has released a host of details on the handset, including reports of the aforementioned OLED display. Additionally, the screen will likely cover the face of the iPhone 8, forcing Apple to bake the Touch ID fingerprint sensor into the display. Apple might also predominantly use glass rather than metal in the device.
But even if you're lucky enough to get your hands on an iPhone 8 at launch, chances are you'll be shelling out some serious cash: it's expected to retail for close to $1,000.

Tourism in Greece and the Greek Islands, the mythical lands. Tourism in Greece is a must! This website is the perfect place to plan your holidays. It is a beautiful country characterised by its mountainous landscapes, its incredible weather, its many islands, its long sandy beaches and more.
Greece is the favourite tourism destination for many Europeans and attracts every year millions of visitors. This section provides information about Greece tourism destinations in the mainland and the Islands.
We can organize any kind of holiday in Greece and the Greek Islands. Just send us your request.
Greece mainland and the Greek islands have some of the favorite holiday destinations in Europe. In fact, Greece comes in the 15th place in the world rating of tourist destinations, since, according to the National Statistical Service of Greece, it receives more than 15 million tourists every year, after countries such as the USA, China, Spain and Great Britain.
Most tourists to Greece come from Europe, especially the EU countries, and from the USA, while fewer originate from the other continents. In 1989 and 1991, approximately 90% of the tourists to Greece were Europeans, in particular German and British citizens. Until the mid-1990s, the tourism flow in Greece would not surpass 8 or 9 million; however, 1994 was a determinant year for Greece tourism because more than 10 million people chose Greece and the wonderful Greek islands to spend their summer vacations.
Greece is a famous country, popular for its clean beaches and its long history. There are hundreds of archaeological and historical sites to visit in Greece that gloriously depict the country's past. Its landscape is mainly mountainous and the terrain is not very fertile, except for some valleys scattered along the Greek mainland. However, Greece is surrounded by water, in particular the Aegean and the Ionian Sea. The country consists of more than 1,400 islands and islets, but only 169 of them are inhabited.
These Greek islands form, one by one, a beauty of nature. They are the most popular Greek destinations, especially in summer. Big or tiny, green or infertile, ideal for cosmopolitan or relaxing vacations, one thing is for sure: all these islands have the necessary requirements and facilities to offer you memorable vacations!
Mykonos island, with its cosmopolitan character; Santorini island, with the most romantic sunset in the world; Rhodes island, the island of the medieval castles, the sun and the butterflies; Crete island, with its revolutionary spirit; Ios island, with the wild nightlife; Corfu island, with its Venetian style; Ithaca island, the homeland of Ulysses; Samos island, the greenest of all Greek islands; Skiathos island, with its long and sandy beaches; all these constitute just a few examples of the most famous Greek paradises. There are easily accessible with flights to Greece to Athens or directly to some islands with airports, but there are also accessible via Greek ferries.
The Greek tourism started flourishing in the late 1960s and particularly in the early 1970s. The first Greek hotel unit was created in 1968 in Agios Nikolaos, Lasithi, Crete and since then many accommodation options have made their appearance all along Greece. In a slow but stable pace, Greece has today managed to become one of the most favorite tourist destinations among Europeans, Asians and Americans. It is worth mentioning that, according to surveys, the Chinese and the Austrians vote for Greece as the best holiday spot ever!!
The peak season for tourism in Greece lasts from May to September, since the third-quarters of the tourism flow choose this time of year to come to Greece. The sunny weather, warm beaches and variable landscapes invite people from all over the world to experience the Greek hospitality and peaceful way of life. The income from tourism constitutes a large part of the Greek economy. Many new jobs have been created and business has been supported, through setting up numerous gift shops in each area.
A special interest is also given to promote, apart from summer holidays, winter tourist resorts, therapeutic spas, ecotourism, working holidays and discovery holidays. Also, islands cruises are also very popular.
Are you still hesitating? We invite you to surf our web pages to take a view of the astonishing beauty of Greece and the Greek islands. We provide you a wide range of Greece photos and an even wider range of information for more than 90 destinations. However, when it comes to Greece, pictures are not enough. You should come to experience its beauty by yourself!!
Looking for an agency to organize your holiday in Greece and the Greek Islands?
Just send us your request and we will make an offer in the shortest delays.

Doug Addison released a conversation between the two of us on his podcast yesterday. In that conversation, we discuss the Importance of the Feast of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. And also the ten day period in between called the Days of Awe. Below you will find a Link to listen to the podcast, and what Doug had to say about the conversation.
We are in this special time of the year—between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, two major Jewish holidays—when the spiritual realm is open. I don't know if you can feel it, but there's a major shift happening!
This 10-day period between these two holidays is called the Days of Awe, when the spiritual atmosphere is ripe to hear from God and get a breakthrough.
While we're no longer under the Jewish Law of Moses, God still operates on both the Jewish and our English Gregorian calendar as well. It's the time of year when the Jewish people believe, traditionally, that God examines our lives for the purposes of promotion. God is moving like never before, so let's get ready!
Whether you listen to this now or later, it doesn't matter. What I am saying is that this period of time—starting today with Rosh Hashanah—is really going to open things over you.
In this Spirit Connection podcast episode, my special guest is Dr. David Herzog, a good friend of mine who understands all this very well. David has been in ministry with his wife Stephanie for over 25 years. He has authored many books and his newest is Aligning with Heaven: Unleashing Ancient Secrets to Power, Blessing and Harvest. David operates in miracles, signs, wonders and the prophetic all over the world. I call him a "Swiss Army knife"––he's got it all.
This is a time right now when God is opening the heavens over you, and you can receive greater revelation from the Lord. Don't give up, you're on the brink of seeing your prayers answered!


If you have ever even thought of purchasing a new mattress, you were probably overwhelmed. Shopping for a mattress is one of the most confusing shopping experiences you will encounter. Women might rank jeans and swimsuit shopping as more frustrating, but these purchases don't carry the same price tag of longevity with them. So we get it. We have been there, we know. This is why we do what we do here at What's the Best Mattress. We want to make the mattress shopping experience as transparent, as easy, as efficient and as effective as possible. We all sleep and we all want the best sleep possible for every one in our household each and every night. So as you begin this process, you need to know what they are doing. The way the mattress companies market their mattresses greatly effects your shopping experiences.
Warning: this section may anger and frustrate you. It may seem that the mattress industry is deliberately trying to confuse you and make it difficult to comparison shop. But you are an educated consumer who is willing to take the time and energy to research, so don't get angry or frustrated just yet. Get educated.
Here's how it works. Each manufacturer will have different levels of mattresses. You will be comparing mattresses between manufacturers as well as mattresses within that manufacturers own stock. For example, Sealy will have different lines of mattresses --as will Spring Air, Serta, Simmons and so on.
Within each line of mattresses, each mattress manufacturer will have different levels often referred to as "Good, Better, Best" labels.
Within each line there are at least three "labels" for you to choose from. One corresponding to "Good", one for "Better", one for "Best". Some manufacturers will have more than one 'Good', 'Better' or 'Best' to make it even more complex. And some brands may even have several intermediate levels.
You can handle all that as you are an educated consumer. You want options; you want choices; you will spend the time and energy to narrow those choices down to the best mattress for you and your needs. Ah, but here's where it gets tricky.
Similar beds often have different names!
Yes, that means that the same mattress sold in different stores may have different labels. Gulp, how can you contend with that? Read on and be thorough in your research, that's how.
Notice the example below (of course, these brand and labels have fictional names - this is just an example) Both retailers have the exact mattresses but these retailers have mattresses that have been given different label names. Manufacturers and retailers do this to protect themselves from price shopping. If the consumer is unable to take an ad from one competitor to another, the retailer does not need to compete mattress versus mattress. This is one of the most confusing areas in purchasing a mattress.
Manufacturers will make different label names geared toward these different types of retailers.
So what can you do? You have already started by doing your homework. Don't worry about the names. Find the mattress that is the best for you and get the specs for that model; coil count and gauge, firmness, topping materials, etc, etc, etc. This is the real information that you need. Take that information and shop to find the best deal on the best mattress for you and your family's needs.

In a new filing, the Defense Department pushed the deadline for industry to bid on its JEDI contract to Oct. 9.
The Pentagon pushed back the deadline to accept bids on its $10 billion Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure contract to Oct. 9 following another amendment to the procurement issued Aug. 31.
In an updated FedBizOpps posting, the Pentagon attributed the extension—from Sept. 17 to Oct. 9—to the "content of the amendments and offeror requests," in an effort to give companies a chance to incorporate any changes in the procurement to their technical bids.
The JEDI procurement's second amendment includes 59 additional questions from industry following a first change in the procurement Aug. 23, which itself contained answers to more than 200 questions from industry and cloud service providers interested in bidding on the contract.
JEDI was opened for bids in late July. It will put a single cloud service provider in charge of hosting and distributing mission-critical workloads and classified military secrets to warfighters around the globe. It also became a source of controversy among industry titans. Companies have battled publicly and behind the scenes both over the contract and its intent to award a single cloud service provider—not multiple companies—the Defense Department's business.
JEDI is also facing a legal challenge. On Aug. 6, Oracle filed a pre-award bid protest with the Government Accountability Office. The company, widely seen as one of four or five companies that will compete for JEDI, modified its protest on Aug. 23, the same day the Pentagon amended the JEDI procurement for the first time.

Q: what is the date format of this string? I want to parse this json string into date
"startDateTime":"2014-08-10T20:08:45.0218Z"
and then parse it to another date format.
I thought using this:
Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().setDateFormat("dd/MM HH:mm ???").create;
but I'm not sure how what is the format of "2014-08-10T20:08:45.0218Z"
is it yyyy-mm-dd ???

A:
2014-08-10T20:08:45.0218Z

This looks like an ISO 8601 date

Date and time expressed according to ISO 8601:
  Combined date and time in UTC: ... 2014-08-20T19:23:25Z

so

yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ

should do it.
Joda time also provides ISODateTimeFormat since this is a common format.

A: SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ");
String date = sdf.format(new Date());
System.out.println(date);
Date d = sdf.parse(date);

Essay Preview: How Are Learning Analytics Shaping the Roles of Teachers And/or Learners?
Essay Title: How are learning analytics shaping the roles of teachers and/or learners?
Data is omnipresent and it is increasingly becoming indispensible in a growing number of fields. Education is no exception, in fact with the advent of technology to aid interaction between key stakeholders such as peers and educators allows for the opportunity to unravel various phenomenons occurring within the learning process. Experts have argued that it is due to the availability of data that education sector will be able to achieve sustained improvements by reflecting on the teaching and learning process through data analytics (Wright, 2014). However, there are also obstacles to realising the potential of data analytics. To illustrate, heads of education institutions will need to be vary of the sophisticated domain evolving around the idea of analytics. In the sense, they need to be able to select the approach and methods, apply them correctly in order to determine how learning process is taking place, how it can be further improved. Data analytics has tremendous potential in education, in the way that it can inform educators and students with fast feedbacks about the different pedagogical approaches. Due to this capacity, analytics is believed to be a disruptive force in education capable of redesigning models of modern pedagogy. At the same time, the precise role of data analytics will need to be identified in order to fully supplement current and future pedagogical models. This essay will seek to critically evaluate how data analytics is changing the role of teachers and students in education. We will attempt to illustrate the significance of data informed teaching methods, as well as current initiatives emerging in the field of analytics which could transform education. The essay concludes with a description of analytics models and initiatives in secondary education and also future possibility for analytics models in education.
The idea of using data for informing pedagogy and influence learning isn't entirely new. In fact, data has been long used within education. However, its strategic application for gaining a better understanding how the learning process works and using that understanding to develop scalable and customised models for teaching has largely been either neglected or have been ineffective (Wasson, 2012). To illustrate, while there has been big amounts of data for coming up with metrics of student performance at both international and national levels, yet the understanding gained from this data is largely neglected in everyday pedagogical practises within schools. Until now, the role of data was restricted to informing policy making decisions within education sector. While the data informed policy decision has helped improve education sector, its direct effect on teachers and students are somewhat minimal.
However, in the last decade education sector has seen a shift in the use of data, from compliance and policy making purposes to its emerging role in continuous improvement. This aberration can be attributed to the evidence-led informed decision making approach on part of both policy makers and heads of education institutions. Data driven decision making entails collecting and analysing data in order to offer valuable insights with the potential to enhance learning and teaching process (Jackson and Mandinach, 2012). A key problem with data analytics faced across different organisation is not to do with the availability of data, rather how that is interpreted and presented to key stakeholders to help make informed decisions. Education sector in this regard is no different. To illustrate, education institutions in addition to requiring data sets on benchmarking assessments in their own institution are faced with the challenge of comparing it with the wider education community (other schools at their level). Being able to develop analytics to overcome this hurdle is critical to assessing the impact of teaching and learning strategies.
Data analytics application in pedagogical approaches, peer assessment, developing curriculum, and corrective interventions combined with cost effective technical infrastructure become an education institutions resources for gathering valuable insights for informing institution's future strategy and policy decisions. Likewise, educators will require data linked with student performance, effectiveness of learning and curriculum to improve their pedagogical approaches.
While there is an increasing support for data led strategies in education, there remains a widely accepted notion that educators will follow their past experiences and largely depend upon their intuition (Seimen et al 2011). This is to suggest that educators are insightful through their years of gained experience. They are capable to spotting and quickly reacting to situation in classroom relating to misconceptions or understanding of taught content. Arguably, this ability is gained and honed after years of teaching experience. The above ideas cannot be dismissed or discredited. However, applying data analytics to the years of experience can only enhance the educator's pedagogical abilities and have a significant impact on the learning process. Proponents of data analytics argue that becoming an effective and good educator should not come at the cost of years of teaching experience (Romero et al, 2010). Applying data analytics and comprehending how learning process manifests via curriculum strategy are critical skills required by the modern day educators.
In spite of empirical evidence suggesting that a growing number of educators should include data analytics into their pedagogical approach, the evidence suggests that teaching as a profession is not yet fully capable of utilising the potential of data analytics techniques available today (Mandinach, 2012). The key advantage of using data analytics is the readiness of the solutions it offers to a given set of problems or issues. The critical challenge for data analytics application in education lies in the fact that data used is often lag data. This could perhaps explain the reluctance of educators in using it. In an administrative capacity however, the data collected for long term strategy for an educational institution could be considered appropriate and fit for purpose. At the same time, when dealing with student learning progression, that data may no longer be valid. It may be too late for the data to remain apt. In the process of evaluating peer self-learning there is a critical need to be able to quantify the qualitative and personalised feedback. Thus, enhancing the quality of the data collected for analysis.

The Blue Lagoon is likely the most popular tourist attraction in Iceland. It is near the Keflavik airport about 20 minutes outside Reykjavik. If you have to change planes and have a four hour wait get a taxi and indulge yourself in this spa.
The nearby Svartsengi power station is run on superheated water; The water is forced down a hole in the earths surface towards the hot magma and then rushes back up as a superheated jet of steam which is used to drive turbine fans that produce cheap clean electricity. The mineral rich clean hot water is deposited in nearby man made pools in the old lava flows. The water has chemically interacted with the volcanic rocks to produce silica mud.
They sell this stuff in pots for $60US as a beauty treatment mud pack. Whatever the weather outside, relax in the naturally hot water pools of the lagoon. The nearer you get to the centre of the pool the hotter the water becomes. Find the right location and temperature to suit you and drift away in this giant blue bath.
The cost may seem a bit high but it is so worth it. You get a locker and towel. Remember to pack your swimming costume. They have a very clever chip system on the bracelet you get when you pay your entrance money, you can even get yourself a beer without having to carry your wallet around. Instead, you pay on the way out.
You can now get relatively cheap air flights tickets on budget airlines to Reykjavik Iceland. You can also visit Iceland as a stop over venue when travelling to New York using Icelandic Air. The country is one of then most dramatic places to visit on earth but it is a very expensive place to visit. Accommodation is nearly five times more expensive than other tourist locations. The price of meals shown on the menus of some of the Reykjavik restaurants may seem like a misprint.
You have to pay 3 or 4 times as much for an item as you would do in Northern Europe. Everything has to be shipped or flown in. This is the main reason why everything is so expensive. Supermarket prices as slightly cheaper but can still be twice as expensive as European prices. Transportation is also expensive so if you can hire a car at the airport car rental outlets it is a good move as it is the most cost effective way to get around the country.
The most interesting things in Iceland- the landscape, the waterfalls etc are free. Remember in summer that there is no night. And in Winter there is no day. The summer average high temperature is 14° C. It can be very windy and frequently wet so bring some warm waterproof windproof clothing and sensible shoes. Walkers have died from exposure in June. Nearly all Icelanders speak English.
You will see unusual rock formations in various sizes stacked up in piles in the lava fields. The Icelanders believe their country is populated by hidden races of small people such as trolls and elves. The local folk law traditions say some of these odd rock formations were actually trolls that were caught at sunrise doing something evil and were therefore turned into stone.


After the worse winter holiday season I've had in the store and the fact that last year was not much better, I made the decision in January to close the storefront. At first I was so sad about this that I couldn't even say it out loud. It seemed like such a huge fail, which in a sense it is, but when I began to tell people and they started telling me what they thought I should do, which I hate, it made me kind of dig my heals in and begin the feel convicted to the idea.
I waffled for the next few weeks about when to close the store and in the end felt I needed to get on the other side of real winter which in Vermont means May. Once I gave my notice to the landlord I felt a lightening in my heart and knew I had made the right decision.
I've been in this space for a few years and I have collecting a surprising amount of stuff. I spent a couple of days ruthlessly throwing away bags of fabric scraps and all the little bits of this and that I must have thought I would use someday, (do I really need to save 2 inch pieces of zippers that I trimmed off to make them the right length, um no). There was only so much I could actually place in the dumpster. I still have bags and bags of fabric scraps that I just can't how away, I'm trying to find new homes for them but so far, no luck on that.
I want to continue with my design and sewing but now for something completely different. I honestly don't know exactly what I'm going to do yet. We are going to reconfigure our home so I can set up to work there and plan to keep the website very active. I'm just going to close my eyes to failure, open my heart, and see what comes in.
This girl is on a new journey, wish me the best.
She says she is cold blooded and they are a big help in keeping her warm. She's kind of my tester. I send her a new style whenever I come up with one.
I thought this song would be appropriate to this post: Please listen while you read.
All five styles listed below are made with the same warm and very cozy fleece: Polartec® Power Stretch®.
It has Lycra which provides four-way stretch and makes an especially comfortable fit. It is also treated to wick moisture away from the body and adds nylon on the jersey face for additional durability while the velour back feels very soft next to skin.
These are a simple style, with a slightly gathered elastic waist for a smooth, very com fortable and sleek fit. I love these pants the most & live in them during the spring, fall and all winter long, wearing them as both tights and leggings. People who work out doors in the winter wear these fleece leggings as long underwear, (roofers and the ski patrol swear by them). My Mom sells them everywhere she goes, my 5 sisters all have at least one pair.
My yoga inspired pants are a little dressier look with no elastic in the waist. Instead I use the fleece fabric as a separate waistband. I made uncounted samples until I was satisfied with the width and length to get just the right fit and feel. The waistband can be worn two ways: left flat to sit higher on the waist or can be folded down to lower rise. These pants are fitted through hips and thighs and bootcut for a slight flair from knee to hem.
I had a customer special order this style as she preferred the smaller hem opening. I didn't think it was going to work but when she came and tried them on they looked fabulous on her! So I'm adding these to my line as well. They have the same self waistband as the yoga pants but are pegged at the ankle like the leggings.
Last but not least: Tights!
Winter Hats: We are family.
I think of these fleece winter hats as the seven siblings hats. I've been making versions of this hat for several years and the style never seems to get stale for me or my customers.
We were gaggle of 7 kids who travelled in a world so different than today: no car seats, bike helmets, barefoot all summer, playing outside at all hours with no adult supervision. We'd put a blanket out in the backyard and be ship wrecked all afternoon or play kick ball on the road, and spent years getting ready to perform a broadway show, singing along with the album, but never actually launched a production.
this hat now begins with 7 squares, a circle and a couple of wide strips to form the two color brim. When the brim is rolled up it shows just a little of the under brim color like piping. As always with my fleece I use only polartec the best quality I have found and made in the USA. Making these hats satisfies some of my need to work with color and different color and texture combinations. I always cut a few of these whenever I get a new fabric. Sometimes when I'm sewing these I ask myself why….it takes a lot longer to cut and sew seven pieces then it would if I made them from a single piece one then I remember why and happily make more.
Even though we are all grown up now with smaller gaggles of our own I still often remember those crazy childhood days. They are like an island of the best memories that hold a golden star in my heart that shines brightly through all my days.
Maasai Shuka Fabric – bright, colourful & solid!
A friend of mine stopped by the other day and asked me if I would do a special sewing project for her using some fabric called maasai shuka that she had recently gotten from Africa. I of course said yes but as I had never heard of this maasia shuka fabric I did a little research and found a plethora of information on the Maasai people who are in Kenya and the Shuka.
belonging to Kenya. The Maasai (sometimes spelled "Masai" or "Masaai") are a nilotic ethnic group of semi-nomadic people inhabiting Kenya and northern Tanzania. They are among the best known local populations due to their residence near the many game parks of Southeast Africa, and their distinctive customs and dress.
is an accessory used in fashion for men and women. It is a beautiful example of African handicrafts, and always woven in vivid red by blending with black, blue or another main colour. It is also used as safari blanket due to the feature of keeping warm and is used as bath towel, scarf or home decoration accessory.Top designer Louis Vuitton has used Shuka in today's fashion and it is a marvel of creation!
Who would have guessed such a beauty from Africa would be hitting the world by storm!
I've been working hard on new fall styles and want to share but I have a tendency to get so bogged down in the blog posting, over thinking and getting overwhelmed by saying all the right things.
So today I'm going to try the direct approach.
Here are two of new fall styles I have made and just want to show them off and to see what you think.
This jacket is a lovely pinky salmony color with velour fleece on the face and a shearling finish on the inside. A contrasting red zipper and elasticized hood for ease of use and extra cozy fit. As always we use the amazing polartec® for this fleece baby jacket and it is wind blocking and water repellant as well. It would make a perfect baby shower gift, new baby gift or holiday gift. Very limited quantities. Sizes: 9 month, 12 month, 18 month, 24 month.
A pretty print on the crown and warm fleece ear and neck cover in a pinky salmon with velcro to attach under the chin so this fleece baby hat stays on. Mothers and fathers love this feature. Baby will be adorable and the hat will keep her head warm and cozy. If you are looking for unique baby gifts for the new or soon to be little bundle in your family, we think your search is over. Our handmade fleece baby hat is Vermont made with premium Polartec® polyester fleece – the same high-performance fabric in our entire fleece line. Plush, soft, lightweight and warm, carefully handmade with best quality Polartec® fleece and guaranteed to keep the newest heads warm and cozy. A truly unique baby gift.100% Polartec polyester fleece. Supplies limited.
PS: Coming soon: Adult versions of the velcro baby hat!
Polartec: Why I love it.
I love love love Polartec fabrics.
My business started as a home based shop when I moved to Vermont with my family. Fleece was all the rage here then, although not so well-known, (at least to me), as it is now. Because of customer demand I started working with fleece fabrics. I was so happy to find that the best source of the best quality fleece was made in USA in nearby Massachusetts. Then called Malden Mills, where fleece was invented, I began my love affair with their fabric. Now called Polartec, the fabrics they produce continue to be premium quality, durable and long lasting, easy care wash and dry and resist pilling wash after wash.
My all time #1 favorite is Power Stretch®.
This line was great from the start but over the years has been improved and many varieties are now available. My current favorite are the smooth faced with a nylon surface and a soft brushed fleece on the inside. This is an amazingly durable fabric and makes really great feeling and totally cozy warm clothing. I like it best for pants because with the spandex stretch it holds its shape so well.
This fabric is a joy to work with, is a pleasure to wear and is the most comfortable I have ever worn. I have a pair of these in every style I make and often take the first one for myself before I even put them up for sale. The smooth outer surface looks great and wash after wash it never pills or looses its shape the way some knits can.
We expanded our base category's range of motion with the invention of Polartec® Power Stretch®. Many elastics can stretch during physical activity, but lack the tensile strength to recover their original shape. We make stretch fabric that goes the distance and always retains its form, fit, and function. With Polartec® Power Stretch® Pro we take our stretch expertise and strengthen it for further durability and abrasion resistance. These base fabrics have become iconic in the industry, but don't be fooled by stretch alone. If it doesn't have the Polartec® label it's missing more than you think.
Polartec® Power Stretch® fabrics feature body-hugging 4-way stretch and are very breathable. They keep you dry when you sweat and provide warmth without weight. These are the most versatile outdoor and fitness clothing fabrics available today. Many of the fabrics feature a proprietary construction with two unique surfaces: the durable, smooth outer layer is wind- and abrasion-resistant; the soft inner layer pulls moisture away from your skin keeping you dry, warm and comfortable. Other fabrics in the series feature compression stretch which can improve performance and reduces the chance of certain types of stop-go injuries. Climbing, running—even taking on an Ironman competition—are easier when your clothing doesn't inhibit freedom of movement.
I use a lot of the classic polartec, often called 200 weight as well. This is the originaltype of fleece that then Malden Mills made when Fleece was first invented. This fabric has the brushed fleece finish on both sides and is loftier and softer feeling.This cozy brushed blanket is a perfect choice for wrapping up babyWithout the stretch it works better for tops, jackets, and Women's VESTS, which are a best seller.
I make the seven siblings style hat in every color I have and make a few every time I cut any other style or i run out of them quickly.
Most of my infant styles are made with the classic Polartec as well: Blankets, Buntings, and Hats among them.
In 1981 we created a synthetic fabric technology that was more lightweight, breathable, and faster drying than all its predecessors.

I love this song…that's all.
I'd been looking for prints to make organic cotton skirts for the summer and I bought this cotton knit print sight unseen because the sales person told me it had the word UPRISE incorporated into the print. I don't know why, (well honestly, I do know why, just listen to the song…Get Up Stand Up), but I really liked the idea of a word on fabric. I was looking forward to adding a new organic cotton skirt or two to my line & wardrobe. I wore the much-loved Leaf Print Skirt so much last summer and I am ready for a new organic cotton skirt. When The fabric it arrived along with a large order I was thrilled with my impulse. There were only a few yards left to purchase and I snatched them all up. This is a beautiful white print on the dark navy fabric: a soft very flowing light weight organic cotton knit with a little spandex.
Since I such a small amount of yardage to work with I spent extra time getting it all laid up in the most efficient way in order to get the most out the small cut. While I was being so efficient I didn't take into account that words are usually up-side-up. Later when I sat down to sew I realized that some of the Uprise were up-side-down. This made me think that the upside-down word might be RiseUp, worked for me. This whole process was going on inside my head along with the Bob Marley song, (from the Uprising album which I put on while I sewed). So with Bob & the Wailers blaring, I was really liking this little project.
And it still is making me feel so happy. As The Cat in the Hat once said, "It's fun to have fun but you have to know how".

Francis Cecil Sumner: The Father Of Black Psychology
Francis Cecil Sumner: The Father of Black Psychology Francis Cecil Sumner helped to pave the way for me to be able to major in child psychology. I chose to write about Francis Cecil Sumner because of the renowned work he did and the social and cultural contributions he made to psychology. He worked tremendously hard to succeed in the field of psychology, and it is even more admiring that he did this in a time when the United States was overall callous, uncaring, and hostile towards minorities. Sumner became the first African-American to earn a Ph.D. in psychology, he overcame racial and discriminatory adversities, and he made lasting contributions to the field of psychology.
To begin, Francis Cecil Sumner was born on …show more content…
in psychology, he was successful despite the racial and discriminatory adversities, and he made lasting contributions to the field of psychology., it was extremely difficult to find information on Francis Cecil Sumner. Although I did not find the amount of accredited information that I hoped to find on him, the information that I did find showed me who Francis Cecil Sumner really was. Sumner was born only 50 years after the abolishment of slavery. He went to college at age 15 and from there, he soared. Studying under G. Stanley Hall, the first American to receive a Ph.D. in psychology, Sumner became the first African-American to receive a Ph.D. in psychology. Fighting racism and discrimination throughout his life and his career, Sumner made lasting contributions to the field of psychology, whether it was through teaching psychology to students or through his articles calling for education reform. Being the first African American in American to earn a doctoral degree in psychology is a big accomplishment, one that Sumner did not take for granted. He used his degree to teach others and to help others and he paved the way for me and every other African American studying psychology
Compare And Contrast Booker T. Dubois
This big difference in thinking between Washington and DuBois on the idea of racial equality again goes back to the beginning. DuBois was born in Massachusetts and, "...freely attended school with whites and was enthusiastically supported in his academic studies by his white teachers."(W.E.B.DuBois, The Biography.com website) Unlike Washington who had grown up struggling to earn his right to an education under a social system that had not been very altered by the 14th amendment, DuBois grew up in the north were the social attitudes were very different. It was not until he left for college in Tennessee in 1885 that DuBois first encountered Jim Crow laws. It was at this time that DuBois realized that all black boys needed an education just like white boys, but they were not being given…
Compare And Contrast Booker T Washington And Dubois
Though DuBois opposed Washington 's strategies on civil rights, he still respected his accomplishments; just called for a new plan of action. In 1895 DuBois became the first African American to receive a doctorate from Harvard. Harvard University seems to be where his interest in sociology came into play. For many years he devoted himself to sociological investigations of blacks in America and published 16 research books between the timeframe of 1897-1914. All his work was geared to equal treatment among African Americans in a world dominated by whites and to refute myths of white inferiority to black America.…

Influence Of Booker T Washington
The Noble Influence "Success is not measured by the position one has reached in life, rather by the obstacles overcome while trying to succeed" (Booker T. Washington). Booker T. Washington was the most influential African American activist during the late 19th century. Born a slave during 1856, he passionately fought for a change. The horrifying moments he faces as a slave only increased his motivation to change the future of African Americans. Later in life he proceeded to become the founder of Tuskegee Institute where he taught that the acceptance of discrimination and hard work was the way to gain respect of the white men; the path to equality (Newman, Harvey).…
The History Of Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc.
So the fraternity was really founded based on a lot of racial issues and discrimination acts that they were facing back in those days. Alpha Phi Alpha has taken lead on overcoming those racial biases all the way in to the civil rights movement and even today. The organization was first a literate society, basically a group to help African American men to stay in college but they met up in secret because it was banned for African American males to gather at any point in time. So these 7 men had to band together to survive, imagine being black men at an ivy league college in 1906. Even now they have national programs to uplift the black community.…

He had a way of speaking to the hearts of the people who listened to what he had to say, making him an excellent representative and big influence on the civil rights.

A question I've been left with no answer to is how does Martin Luther King junior someone who did help out through the civil rights and work shouldn't be taken lightly have only five years of helping African Americans, be put over the man who started the foundation on which Martin Luther King walked upon? It just…
Booker T Washington Speeches
Washington is one of the first people in African-American history that took a public stand to speak to individuals about African-American rights. He sought industrial education and economic growth for his fellow people that were treated inferior; shunned when attempting to "rebel"; and silenced when making cry. Washington was the first African-American educator, as well as an advisor to presidents of the U.S. His experience as being born a slave, led him to do great things after he became a free man during Emancipation. His goal was to convince African-Americans to work to earn their civil rights, rather than demanding them. Moreover, he was not afraid to voice his opinions and teachings to a southern community, here, in our very own Atlanta-where years ago, slavery was a way of life.…
Escaping Stereotypes In Society
As a reminder, those successful black men have to become role models to the young black males. These men should show every young black male why they shouldn't let the stereotype define them. These young boys have to realize that it is important to make a good name for themselves because everyone is already expecting them to fail. Martin Luther King Jr. did something that no other person, black or white, male or female had the courage to do. He changed the world for all African Americans and gave the race hope.…

Both of these classes of framing are used for the purpose of light, either fixed in the roofs, flats, etc., or forming a roof in themselves. Their object is to give light from above, where, from various causes and circumstances, the enclosing walls cannot be used to supply that want.
A skylight is the smaller of the two, and is generally flat in form, and inclined with the pitch of the roof; whereas a lantern has vertical or only slightly inclined sides, which are often framed with casements made to open, in order to give ventilation in addition to light, the whole being covered by a slated, tiled, or glass roof.
Fig. 858 represents a skylight in section, Fig. 859 the elevation in a slated roof; but only the woodwork will be dealt with in this chapter, no notice being taken of tiling, slating, or leadwork. The student ought to be well acquainted therewith, as they have been explained in previous chapters.
The roof rafters, etc., are first of all trimmed to suit the size of the skylight required, and a curb is framed together and wedged up within that space. The angles of the curb are either grooved and tongued, or dovetailed together; and, in a slated roof, the curb should be 9 inches deep, to allow of a gutter behind it at the top part, as in Fig. 858.
In a tiled roof, however, the curb should be 11 inches deep, the increased depth being necessitated by the extra thickness of tiles as compared with slates. The tiles at the eaves of the gutter, which is at the top of the skylight, with a 9-inch curb and ordinary rafters, etc., would almost touch the bottom of the toprail of the skylight, and would not allow of a sufficiently large gutter, especially for snow, hence the necessity for 11 inches.
The 9 and 11-inch curbs are measured from the underside of the rafters, and if these are of more than the ordinary depth of common rafters, the depth of the curb has to be increased accordingly, but the above are the usual sizes -i.e., 9 and 11 inches deep by 1 1/2 or 2 inches wide.
The top of the curb is tongued, to fit a groove around the underside of the skylight, which is a framing of styles and rails, with bars for the glass, running in the direction of the roof, and framed into the top and bottom rail, as will be gathered from Fig. 859.
Fig. 860 is an enlarged detail of the top and bottom of Fig. 858, from which it will be seen that the bottom rail is not as thick as the top one, being 3/4 of an inch, or the depth of the rebate, less. This is done in order to allow the glass to run down over it and project over the bottom edge of the bottom rail, so as to throw the rain-water off. Otherwise, if the bottom rail were to be made of the same thickness as the topnul, a gutter would be formed, and the rain would soak through the putty and drop inside;and in snowy weather it would form an excellent lodgment for the snow, as shown on Fig. 861.
The styles are as Fig. 862 in section, and the rails are tenoned and wedged into them at the angles.
The bars (Fig. 863), which are fixed about 12 to 15 inches apart, are, of course, of the same moulding as the styles and rail, and of the same depth as the styles and toprails, but 1 1/2 inch wide, and framed at each end into the top and bottom rails.
The bars may be moulded to any section, chamfered, or square; and in best work they are checked out a second time, and grooved underneath the glass, as Fig. 864, to allow the condensation which collects on the underside of the glass to run down the bars and out.
Skylights can be either fixed or hung; and in the latter case they are hinged by butts at the top, and opened at the bottom upwards by a patent lifting apparatus (Fig. 865).
The glass of the skylight is kept in position by light narrow copper clips screwed to the rails, underneath the glass, which they clasp at the bottom as in Fig. 866.
The glass ought, if possible, to be in one length; but when that is not possible, these clips, with another bend in them, are also used to keep the top pane (which laps over the others) in position, as Fig. 867.
In common and very large fixed skylights, over sheds, etc., no curbs are used; but a head and sill to the required section are fixed to the ends of rafters longitudinally, the styles being framed into them at the ends, and the bars stumped into the head at the top, and notched into the sill at the bottom, as Fig. 868, which illustrates such a skylight in any position intermediate between the ridge and the eaves.
Fig. 869 shows a similar skylight, placed close up to the ridge itself, which also may be differently treated, as shown in the enlarged section (Fig. 870).
Lanterns are generally formed at the apex of a roof, as Fig. 871, or on a flat, as Fig. 872; their roofs having either gable ends, as Fig. 873, or being hipped, as Fig. 875.
The top or roof part of the lantern (Figs. 871 and 872) is precisely similar to an ordinary skylight, consisting of bars, styles, sills, and heads framed together; the heads of the two sides meeting at the apex, against ridge pieces, as Fig. 873A, the section at the sill being as Fig. 874, which also shows the upright framing of a lantern on a roof.
Fig. 873A. Curb or bearer.
The hipped roof (Fig. 875) is built up of bar rafters, hip and jack bar afters, framed into the head at the ridge, and at the sill they are treated as Fig. 875A, which otherwise represents a lantern on a flat (vide also Fig. 872).
The side framing consists of four angle posts, framed into head and sill, with intermediate mullions, the whole rebated out for, and filled in section with moulded casements, either fixed or hung, according to requirements, the casements being sometimes hung on centres, or pivoted, as hereinbefore explained. It is needless to give details of these angle posts, mullions, and casements. The student will be able to form his own details from the illustrations, etc., already given in the chapter on solid frames and casements.
In lanterns for common shed roofs the side framing is often filled in with louvres instead of casements, to give egress to the hot air or steam as shown in Fig. 876.
The ends of the louvres are housed into the posts or mullions, as Fig. 877.
Ceiling Lights arc often used, in connection with fixed skylights, to bring the light into the rooms, and still have a flat ceiling. The ceiling rafters are trimmed, and a curb is wedged inside it, rebated out at the top for the casement, which is of the ordinary section and class (vide Fig. 878). The bars may sometimes be constructed and arranged to some geometrical or ornamental designs, as Figs. 879, 880.


The Fort Collins Police are seeking the community's help in determining who is responsible for vandalizing the Masonic Temple, located at 225 Oak Street in Old Town.
Dispatchers received a call around 12:10 p.m. on Monday, April 3, regarding spray paint that was found on both the steps and pillars of the Masonic Temple. The black graffiti appears to be upside-down crosses along with the phrase "great tribulation is at hand." Police believe the incident happened sometime between Sunday evening and Monday morning, and due to the location and nature of the graffiti, it is currently being investigated as a bias-motivated crime.
Anyone with information about the suspect or incident is encouraged to contact Officer Ben Athearn at 970-221-6555 or bathearn@fcgov.com. People may also contact Crime Stoppers of Larimer County at 970-221-6868 or www.stopcriminals.org. Tipsters may remain anonymous.

Pipex invests £2m to get 40,000 DSL users online
Major play for broadband share
By Tim Richardson 25 Jan 2002 at 13:36
British ISP Pipex is to invest £2 million in subsidising the installation of ADSL services.
Aimed primarily at residential users, the move is designed to kick-start the UK's fledgling broadband market.
The money will be used to cover the installation costs for 40,000 new customers who sign up to a DIY self-install ADSL product.
The monthly subscription cost of the single user product, PIPEX Xtreme Solo 512Kbps, has also been priced competitively at £29.95 (excluding VAT).
David Rickards, MD of PIPEX, told The Register that 2002 is going to be a big year for broadband in the UK and that the money from its Broadband Development Fund is an investment to attract new customers.
However, the competitively-priced monthly subscription means that margins are tight.
But if Pipex - which has some 1,400 broadband customers at the moment - can swell its customer base over the next six months or so as expected then today's initiative will be looked at closely by other ISPs.
Pipex is also spending £3 million on a marketing campaign to get people to sign up to its deal.
E-envoy Andrew Pinder has backed Pipex's bold move claiming that this initiative will "continue to bring broadband benefits to more businesses and consumers".

"The latest UK labour market statistics illustrate a jobs market which is continually breaking records, while highlighting some of the persistent challenges present in the economy.
"Concerns remain around pay growth and productivity. The latest data has shown that the rate of pay growth is slowing, with pay remaining below the pre-downturn peak for UK workers. It appears that the tight labour market is yet to have a commensurate impact on worker's pay. The Bank of England justified the latest base rate rise partially through the expectation of higher wages for UK workers, but the data shows that these forecasted rises remain elusive.
"The latest productivity estimate is encouraging in that it shows increased output per hour across the UK, particularly driven by services and growth in retail, aided by the warm weather. The rise in productivity is the highest quarterly increase since late 2016, but productivity increases remain weak historically.
"The unemployment rate across the UK has not been lower since 1975. In Scotland, although the unemployment rate has decreased by 0.1 percentage points on the quarter, Scotland is one of only four regions in the UK to observe an increase over the year on unemployment, of 0.3 percentage points. However, the rate remains close to historic lows, at 4.2%. In further positive news, the youth unemployment rate across the UK has fallen to 11.3%, the lowest rate observed since records began in 1992, with Scotland's rate even lower.


BADRIAH HAMELINK Badriah Hamelink is an artist that specializes in abstract sculpture and spatial projects. The minimal has a central role in her works. It is not an impersonal minimalism, devoid of any meaning, quite the contrary. It is a minimalism that is highly charged with meaning. This seemingly simple approach helps Hamelink to convey the essence of a sculpture, without obscuring its meaning with too much detail. This process of elimination denudes the truth that speaks through the form and offers the onlooker a point of view that is free from background noise. Hamelinks subject matter is derived from the human experience. She is fascinated by objects that contain traces of a life; be it ancient objects or symbols in contemporary art. Lately the techniques she uses have become a direct transmitter of meaning. The medium has become part of the message in an interchangeable relation..
