Who Pays For Kentucky Public Schools? More and More, It's Local Taxpayers
By Liz Schlemmer • Oct 31, 2019
As state funding for public schools in Kentucky has failed to keep up with inflation, state data show local taxpayers are increasingly paying more of the costs — and that's leading to greater inequity between school districts across the state.

Q: ¿Cómo puedo contar comas en una cadena de caracteres en C? El problema es el siguiente tengo una cadena de caracteres (aaa,bbb,ccc...) y quiero sacar de esa cadena algunos datos, por ejemplo bbb. Se que se puede hacer contando las comas de la cadena, si pasa esta coma coger este dato. ¿Como puedo hacerlo?
La cadena se refiere a un código NMEA de un módulo GPS

A: Con esta funcion le indicas cual es el texto y cual es el limitador entre ellos.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

int dtmsplit(char *str, const char *delim, char ***array, int *length ) {
  int i=0;
  char *token;
  char **res = (char **) malloc(0 * sizeof(char *));

  /* get the first token */
   token = strtok(str, delim);
   while( token != NULL )
   {
        res = (char **) realloc(res, (i + 1) * sizeof(char *));
        res[i] = token;
        i++;
      token = strtok(NULL, delim);
   }
   *array = res;
   *length = i;
  return 1;
}

int main()
{
    int i;
    int c = 0;
    char **arr = NULL;

    int count =0;

    char str[80] = "aaa,bbb,ccc";
    c = dtmsplit(str, ",", &arr, &count);
    printf("Found %d tokens.\n", count);

    for (i = 0; i < count; i++)
        printf("string #%d: %s\n", i, arr[i]);

   return(0);
}

En este caso si lo compilas el resultado será
Found 3 tokens.
string #0: aaa
string #1: bbb
string #2: ccc

Donde podrias tomar el valor cualquiera de los 3 resultados obtenidos en arr indicandole la posicion requerida ejemplo arr[1] // bbb

A:
¿Cómo puedo contar comas en una cadena de caracteres en C?

Pues recorre la cadena, y cuenta las comas:
int comas = 0;

for (int i = 0, e = strlen(cadena); i != e; ++i)
    comas += (cadena[i] == ',');

Si quieres separar los valores entre las comas, puedes usar strtok:
for (char *c = strtok(cadena, ","); c; c = strtok('\0', ","))
    printf("%s\n", c);

Ten en cuenta que strtok modifica la cadena original poniendo \0 en los puntos en que encuentra el separador.
Pudes ver el código funcionando en Wandbox.

Can You Freeze Cannabis?
For cannabis connoisseurs who want to get the most out of their products for as long as possible, proper storage is of the utmost importance. The delicate cannabinoid-rich trichomes that frost the outside of cannabis flowers can be finicky and fragile. Without proper care, these trichomes can degrade or fall off, drastically reducing the potency and flavor of your bud.
There are several tips and tricks that can extend the shelf life of cannabis, but what about freezing? It works for meat and produce. Is the secret to fresher marijuana hiding in your freezer?
Can Weed Go Bad?
Fortunately, you don't have to worry about your marijuana spoiling for the most part. Cannabis ages like the dried herbs and spices in your kitchen cabinet—it doesn't go bad necessarily, but it can lose potency over time. Cannabis that's been exposed to air, light, and heat will become brittle and crumble to the touch. Much of the therapeutic compounds present in the plant will have degraded, and the taste will be off and harsh on the throat.
However, cannabis stored in humid or moist environments potentially could become mold stricken. If you find mold growing on your flower, don't try to salvage it by cutting off the moldy pieces. The entire nug has already been affected, and smoking it could result in serious health problems. Better to be on the safe side and just toss it out.
Can You Freeze Weed?
The freezer may look like an appealing place to store your cannabis, but it isn't usually the best choice.
Cannabinoids and terpenes degrade over time. One study from the University of Mississippi investigated the rate of cannabinoid degradation in cannabis stored at room temperature for four years. After just one year, their buds had lost nearly 17% THC. After four years, that number was closer to 40%.
Freezing cannabis would certainly slow down this degradation process; however, freezing comes with its own disadvantages. The freezing process causes trichomes to become extremely brittle. If you aren't careful handling your frozen flower, then those trichomes could break off, causing faster degradation than if you'd just left the cannabis at room temperature. There's also a moisture issue. The formation of ice crystals can lead to excess moisture, which can leave weed susceptible to mold growth during the thawing process.
For most people, it makes more sense to store cannabis in an airtight container away from sunlight and heat than to freeze it. If you're having trouble keeping your cannabis fresh, try buying smaller amounts at a time, or using a smaller container for storage. Always make sure to store your flower in a dark room. UV light can drastically speed up the degradation process. Stoners who are serious about keeping their bud fresh for longer may consider investing in a cannabis humidor, similar to the ones made for cigars.
Flash Freezing Cannabis
There is one context where freezing cannabis is actually essential—the production of an extract known as live resin.
A new trend in cannabis cultivation has farmers skipping the traditional drying and curing process in favor of dry ice buckets and industrial freezers. Conventional curing techniques cause serious terpene degradation. As the plants dry and moisture is released, the trichomes become more fragile and break away from the rest of the biomass. By skipping this process entirely, cultivators and extractors can create a product with a more robust terpene profile.
When cannabis is flash frozen, it's harvested, trimmed, then immediately subjected to extremely cold temperatures. Next, the frozen buds go through a BHO extraction process which transforms the flower into a potent extract called live resin. What makes live resin different from your average bottle of BHO hash oil is the terpene content. Because the plants were originally flash frozen, live resin has a much more flavorful taste than other extracts or concentrates.

Q: How to apply Nonclustered Index on all tables at once I have 64 tables in sql server i want to apply nonclustered index in all the tables.Is it possible to apply nonclustered index in all the tables at once using query.Please le me know if there is any way we can apply index using single query

A: You can do it with cursor and dynamic query:
DECLARE @t NVARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE @s NVARCHAR(MAX)

DECLARE cur CURSOR FAST_FORWARD READ_ONLY
FOR
    SELECT  name
    FROM    sys.tables
OPEN cur

FETCH NEXT FROM cur INTO @t

WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
    BEGIN

        SET @s = 'CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX IDX_' + @t + ' ON dbo.' + @t + '(id)'
        EXEC (@s)

        FETCH NEXT FROM cur INTO @t
    END

CLOSE cur
DEALLOCATE cur

Of course you will need to adjust this to appropriate columns on which you are going to add indexes.

Spotlight on: NAISDA
In recognition of International Dance Day, we speak to NAISDA student Kiarn Doyle about starting a career in dance and how it has helped him express himself.
Kiarn Doyle is studying a Certificate IV NAISDA Developing Artist. NAISDA is Australia's Indigenous dance training college which has been producing the next generation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander performers since 1976.
It is one of Australia's eight national elite performing arts training organisations supported by the Government for more than 30 years.
Why did you want to be part of NAISDA?
I wanted to join NAISDA to engage in the basics of all styles of dance. I also wanted to experience a cultural setting and learn about the many different cultures that are native to Australia.
How has NAISDA helped you grow as an artist?
I feel that NAISDA has helped me grow, not only as an artist in finding what my strengths and abilities are, but also as a young man in finding a place and voice in this generation in the industry.
What would you say to someone wanting to join NAISDA?
I would say that they should audition if they love dance and culture. Also, to put in 100 per cent effort. You'll have many personal ups and downs and you just have to find a way to push through them.
What do you want to do after you have graduated? Where do you see yourself in the next five years?
After I graduate, I would like to start creating dance pieces and get my name out there in the industry and then start working towards building my own company/dance school. My ultimate goal, however, is to become one of the world's best choreographers and have my own distinct style that people practice.
Why do you love dance?
I love dance because it allows you to see into a person and see what their heart is saying. I also love dance because it's a nice way to deal with my ADHD in a fun and calming way.

Posh manager Grant McCann issues intstructions to star man Marcus Maddison.
Manager Grant McCann is determined to ensure Peterborough United peak at the right time this season.
In each of the last two campaigns, Posh have been League One promotion challengers at Christmas before fading away badly in the second-half of the season.
Steven Taylor walks out for his Posh debut in a friendly at Cheltenham.
But McCann is confident that won't happen again. The club have great faith in the work done with the first-team squad by head of physical performance Ben Mackenzie.
Posh are raring to go in tomorrow's (August 5) League One opener against newly-promoted Plymouth at the ABAX Stadium, but McCann is more concerned about long-term prosperity.
"Of course we want to hit the ground running," McCann stated. "But I'd much rather have a strong finish than a strong start.
"It will be great to get some early momentum, but we've faded badly in the last couple of seasons and that's something we've planned against this term.
"Sheffield United won League One last season and yet didn't start particularly well.
"We certainly have a tough opener. Plymouth have momentum from last season and they've only lost one pre-season game this summer. They have recruited well in the summer and I can't see them struggling.
"They are very well managed. They will be very well organised and they will have the backing of a big away following.
"I'm just hoping we get a big turnout from our fans as well. They know how important they are to us and I think they will be well entertained this season.
"It's the first time for a while that we've started the season at home so it's a good chance to show the fans what we are about.
Posh have everyone available with the exception of new striker Ricky Miller who starts a six-game suspension for a biting offence while with Dover last season, and injured midfielder Jermaine Anderson who has at least resumed training with the senior players.
New 17-year-old striker Idris Kanu will be in the squad as will experienced central defender Steven Taylor.
"Taylor looked great in the friendly at Cheltenham last weekend," McCann added.
"He was strong defensively and composed on the ball.
Posh have not lost an opening day Football League fixture at London Road since the 2005-06 campaign when Mark Wright's team lost 1-0 to his old club Chester in a League Two clash.
Posh have won their last five opening day home games against Bristol Rovers (4-1, 2006), Rochdale (3-0, 2007), Bristol Rovers (3-0, 2010), Crystal Palace (2-1, 2011) and Swindon (1-0, 2013).
Posh have played Rochdale away on the last three opening days, winning twice and losing once.

Michael Martin (born 25 February 1977) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Footscray and the Brisbane Lions in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Martin played originally at Hobart and represented Tasmania at the Teal Cup in 1994 when he won the Hunter Harrison Medal. As a result, he was picked early in the 1994 AFL Draft, with Footscray's first selection and made his league debut at just 18 years of age.
The Tasmanian initially found it difficult to find a place in the midfield but played finals football in 1997, finishing the year as a participant in the club's two point preliminary final loss to Adelaide. He played all 24 games in 1998 and again suffered the disappointment of appearing in a losing preliminary final side although he accounted for himself well with 21 disposals.
He was traded to the Brisbane Lions in the 1999 AFL Draft, with the Bulldogs receiving Trent Bartlett as well as the pick which secured Daniel Giansiracusa. Martin played 10 of the first 12 games of the 2000 season before being struck by osteitis pubis, an injury which ended his AFL career.

Michael Martin Harvey (1897–1975) was a British actor. He was the son of the renowned stage actor/manager Sir John Martin-Harvey and brother of actress Muriel Martin-Harvey.
As well as his theatre work, he appeared in a number of films throughout the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s in supporting roles in such films as The Drum (1938), Caesar and Cleopatra (1945), The Monkey's Paw (1948) and The Long Memory (1952). He had one leading role, that of real life criminal Charles Peace in the 1949 film The Case of Charles Peace.
He was married to children's book illustrator Hester Margetson. Together they formed a small ballet touring company, the Martin-Harvey Miniature Ballet. In the 1950s he teamed with the composer Margaret More to form the Hans Andersen Players, performing selected works from the work of Hans Christian Andersen. Besides dance his other artistic interests included poetry, painting and pottery.

Ever After is the third studio album by Canadian rock group Marianas Trench. It was released on November 21, 2011 in Canada and December 21, 2011 in the U.S. The album was certified Platinum by Music Canada in November 2012. Five singles were released from the album, including the Canadian Hot 100 Top 10 hit "Haven't Had Enough" and the Top 20 Canada Hot AC airplay hits "Stutter" and "By Now".
After months of anticipation, Ramsay announced on Twitter that the album will be titled Ever After. The band announced that the album would be released on November 29, 2011, however this date was later pushed up to November 21. The band has announced that there will not be any breaks in between the tracks on the record, and will instead have a new track start as soon as the previous track ends, without a pause, making it an hour-long continuous piece of music. Production on the album had been taking place since Spring 2011.
Ever After is a concept album, (as was Masterpiece Theatre). In addition to the fact that there is no pause between the tracks, Ever After also has a storyline told through the album's songs as well as its booklet. The story tells of Josh Ramsay, who lands in Toyland and has an amazing adventure.

Diri: 'don't harass residents not wearing face masks'
July 16, 2020 July 16, 2020 2 min read Bernice Egwu
Bayelsa State Governor Douye Diri has warned security operatives not to harass or extort money from the public under the guise of enforcing compulsory use of face mask.
The governor gave the warning on Wednesday when he donated masks to representatives of bankers, traders, transport operators, maritime workers and others at the Government House in Yenagoa.
Diri, represented by Deputy Governor Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, said no security agent or task force official was permitted to fine anyone without a face mask.
He stressed the need for due process in the enforcement of laws to avoid trampling on people's rights.
The governor, who urged the police to intensify efforts at fighting crime, noted that a joint task force might be set up to enforce the order if there was no change in people's behaviour.
Diri said: "What we have done today is to keep the promise we made to the unions last week. We promised that while we want to enforce the use of face masks in our public places, we want to assist the unions by donating some.
"We have not authorised any task force, especially policemen, to enforce the wearing of face masks. Bayelsans or Nigerians should not be harassed or extorted in the name of enforcing the use of face masks. The law is to warn. You warn before you arm.
"What we are doing now is to warn. We shall arm when the time comes."

ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has reserved its judgement on the matter of appointment of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) Chief Executive Officer (CEO) after hearing arguments of Deputy Attorney General (DAG).
A single member bench of IHC comprising Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kiyani took up the case for hearing on Wednesday.
Giving arguments on the petition of Senator Azam Swati, DAG Rashid Hafiz told the court that the appointment of the national carrier's CEO Musharraf Rasul Cyan was made in contrary to the rules and regulations. The procedure in place has not been adopted in regard to this appointment, he added.
Hafiz said the caretaker government had deferred this matter till the induction of new government, adding that the newly elected government has not taken any decision with regard to the appointment of PIA CEO.
The DAG further said that the PIA case is pending hearing in Supreme Court (SC) as well. The SC is going to take up this case for hearing on September 3, 2018.
He prayed the court to issue an order regarding the PIA CEO case before the hearing is taken up by the top court.
Judge Kiyani inquired as to why the matter should not be referred to the cabinet.
The court later reserved its judgement.

The MIT Media Lab has launched a new research initiative to develop a US$100 laptop designed to revolutionize how we educate the world's children. To achieve this goal, a new, non-profit association, One Laptop per Child (OLPC), has been created. The initiative was first announced by Nicholas Negroponte, Lab chairman and co-founder, at the World Economic Forum at Davos, Switzerland in January 2005 and earlier this week, Negroponte showed the first prototype images and concept drawings to the world's press.
The proposed $100 machine will be a Linux-based, full-colour, full-screen laptop that will use innovative power (including wind-up) and will be able to do most everything except store huge amounts of data. The laptops will be partially ruggedised with WiFi and they will also be cell phone-enabled with several USB ports. The current specifications call for a 500MHz, 1GB, 1 Megapixel computer.
The move is designed to offer the most important aid possible to a third world country – education alone will solve many of the problems of a country. The philosophy behind the initiative is that for children, laptops are both a window and a tool: a window into the world and a tool with which to think. They are a wonderful way for all children to "learn learning" through independent interaction and exploration.
The idea is to create a low cost computer by optimising the system, the system software and the componentry in numerous ways – essentially all designed to reduce the cost, weight and complexity of the computer and its constituent components. The plan also calls for the the laptops to be manufactured in very large numbers (millions) and sold directly to ministries of education in third world countries, which can distribute them like textbooks. When these machines are turned on, they form a peer-to-peer mesh network with nearby computers – a concept initially developed at MIT and the Media Lab. MIT is currently exploring ways to connect them to the Internet at very low cost.

Or rather, what option did you use to produce this picture?


cinema5D had a chance to test the new Sony F55, Sony's new flagship 4K cinema camera. As a reference we used Canon's most advanced HDSLR.
The F55 is an interesting camera, because it is one that ticks more boxes than any other camera over the past few years – the range of resolutions, frame rates, codecs as well as the ergonomics are unprecedented. Now it's down to actually using it to make a judgement call.
We wanted to know how the camera performs in a normal sooting environment and took the Canon EOS 1DC 4K HDSLR with us for comparison. Some interesting conclusions can be drawn here, things you might consider if you plan on shooting with either of these cameras or would just like to see what to expect.
Disclaimer: Please note that this is not a scientific test. We share our subjective opinion and try to give you all the insights we have. Always try before you buy.
Aside from the sooting experience itself (more on that later) most significant to us is the footage a camera produces.
During our grading session in a professional post house some of the differences between these two cameras became more clear.
– very sharp, needed to be softened.
– softer image than F55, needed to be sharpened a little.
– rescuable: about 2.5 stop over-exposure, 5 stops under.
Both cameras could be matched easily in post production. Contrary to our expectations the Canon 1DC could be underexposed even more than the F55 (talking usable dynamic range). On the other hand the noise and 10-bit image of the F55 is obviously more clean and stable due to its powerful new xavc codec.
The Canon still delivers very gradable and easy to use files (According to our experienced colorist: More usable than C300 footage). The 1DC can indeed deliver a fine and filmic end-result that can be tweaked around in the process. I should also mentioned that grading the F55 seems a little more time intensive as the existing LUT's don't develop it so well and the xavc codec is not so established yet.
Note that the same lenses were used on both cameras (except for the last shot).
It's completely visible that the F55 has significantly more Image Quality (ie: resolution, depth, S/N ratio) than the 1DC.
Let's be honest here. The 1DC footage looks like a bit like standard definition when viewed against the F55 footage.
Yes, there is a lot of detail and depth in the F55 footage. But it's not all about pixels and sharpness. If you need that and have the device to screen it then the F55 will probably serve you well.
Sem falar também que a Sony é Global Shutter, e isso faz toda a diferença.
Cinematic quality? As in softer looking with more saturation skewed towards the warm side? Yeah, you are correct. The 1DC is softer. And a bit warmer looking.
Any seasoned professional cinematographer shooting for a demanding upscale client or high-end project is going to want to have the most options available in her/ her toolkit.
It's always nice to play and compare Hondas to BMW's though, someone's bound to do it if they think they can make money out of it.
Amen Jerrod, glad someone else has the balls to NOT glaze over Canons' bad points and sponsored 'experts'.
The price of F55 is about three times higher than 1D C (35k VS. 12k), is the image quality also three times higher on F55? Obviously no.
Taking price and mobility into account, I think 1D C has totally blown F55 away.


I created this self-assessment tool several years ago but have adapted some of the language to correspond with BC's new Draft Curriculum. While the format of a table has many limitations, I think the statements within it are helpful as part of a broader self-assessment strategy to stimulate student reflection on aspects of their learning.
Core Competencies states, I am, because these competencies are habit-forming. One competency is the Thinking Competency including creative thinking. A student might write, "I am a creative thinker." Obviously there are degrees to which a student is a creative thinker, but it is important that students begin to understand some of the attributes of successful learners and see themselves as acquiring these attributes, even if they are just beginning to do so. The I am could also tie in with learner profiles, Habits of Mind, or Virtues.
The section on Influences on My Learning I think is most interesting for teachers. What students identify as the most important influences on their learning is important information for teachers to know so that they are aware of core elements to include in future instruction of a particular student or of that topic. For example, if a field trip, involving a lot of work and time was not included as an influence in learning, it might be best to not visit that space again. This is a tricky section of self-assessment though as some influences on learning are more visible than others. Reviewing this section with students specifically about what they learned from an influence would be helpful.
The last section on Thankfulness was suggested to me by a parent. Learning is busy. It is easy to take for granted some of the experiences students have in their learning or perhaps have short-lived gratitude as attention is drawn to the next thing. I don't think gratitude should just be an in the moment feeling of appreciation but recognized and appreciated over time.
As I noted earlier, the format of a table is limited and perhaps the conversations the six statements elicit is more helpful. Feel free to use, adapt, or improve this table as you like. It is available here.
Does learning in Kindergarten help with learning in Grave Five?
Does learning in Grade Five help with learning in Kindergarten?
Is it easy for teachers to quickly grasp the competencies students enter their classrooms with?
Is it easy for teachers to quickly grasp the knowledge and understandings students enter their classrooms with?
competencies, in BC's new draft curriculum, could more fully be described as Core Competencies (Thinking, Communication and Personal & Social) as well as Curricular Competencies (skills that allow students to "do" a subject).
Knowledge and understandings in the draft curriculum could be described as the Big Ideas and content and concepts in the Learning Standards.
I think many educators would answer questions one and two differently if learning was separated into these two areas. Learning in Kindergarten and Grades One to Four definitely helps students learn in Grade Five. For example, students in primary grades learn how to read; students in Grade Five use reading to learn. Question two is different. Being a strong writer in Grade Five does not make a student better at letter formations in Kindergarten so in this way, learning in Grade Five does not help learning in Kindergarten. In this way, learning could be seen as linear.
The same is not true if the learning we are referring to is knowledge and understandings rather than competencies. The experiences and learning a student has after Kindergarten will enlighten some of the experiences they had while in Kindergarten that they simply did not have enough experience or knowledge to comprehend at the time. In this way, learning knowledge and understandings is reciprocal: not only does our past experience help us understand our current learning, our current learning can help us understand our past.
Two commonly used metaphors in education include the tree and the rhizome. The tree is an appropriate metaphor for the development of competencies. In the tree metaphor, there is a starting point – the seed – from which growth occurs in many directions in the form of branches and roots. The branches and roots divide and further divide and are only connected to each other where this division occurs, but not again. The second metaphor of the rhizome which has no beginning or end, only a middle. In the words of Dave Cormier, who writes on Rhizomatic thinking here often , "A rhizomatic plant has no center and no defined boundary; rather, it is made up of a number of semi-independent nodes, each of which is capable of growing and spreading on its own, bounded only by the limits of its habitat (Cormier 2008)." This metaphor suggests learning is linked not from beginning to an end, but that the brain complexly makes connection of learning from subject to subject, grade to grade, and all of the experiences beyond school into an interconnected and ever-increasing web where connections do not have to happen at defined intersections (as in the tree metaphor) but between any points. This metaphor validates past experience as rather than viewing it solely for the benefit of present understanding, it connects with and illuminates past learning as well.
For teachers, this interconnected web of knowledge may make it challenging for teachers to answer question 4. It is fairly easy to know a students' competencies including literacy and math skills., but it is far more challenging to know what they know and understand. But educators can try.
The new curriculum anchors content and concepts to four to six big ideas per subject in each grade. Teachers in BC using the draft curriculum will have a great opportunity to connect learning not simply between big ideas within a grade, but between big ideas across grades. Doing so may jog a student's memory to assist them with acquiring knowledge and understanding by making connections with what they already know and perhaps even provide a framework or at least some context to synthesize this understanding. Further, it provides an opportunity to honour what the student already knows and perhaps even develop their learning in previous grades. In this way, learning is truly reciprocal and interconnected. Not only does Grade Five benefit from Kindergarten, the learning that occurs in Kindergarten benefits from the learning of Grade Five and beyond.
1. The BIG Ideas, also known as Enduring Understandings.
2. The Learning Standards, which are most identifiable in the current curriculum as the Prescribed Learning Outcomes related to the Skills, Processes and Knowledge students are expected to attain for each subject for each grade.
4. And Implementation Links which are still under development.
In speaking with students of outside45 shortly after they constructed canoe paddles with master boat builder Ian Magrath and their teacher Laura Magrath, it occurred to me that many students found their paddle instantly precious. As soon as they planed and sanded their paddles, it became something they knew they would keep for a long time.
The phrase, "We keep what we make," occurred to me, and I began to think of learning. Do we keep our learning, meaning do we retain the knowledge, skills and understandings we develop, when we make meaning ourselves rather than this knowledge, skills, and understandings simply being transmitted to or at us.
Educators often describe three approaches to teaching and learning: Transmission, Transaction, and Transformation.
Transmission is where, in the words of John Miller, "the student receives and accumulates knowledge and skills."[i] The knowledge and skills may be transmitted from the teacher, a textbook, a website, a documentary or other source. The information flows one way and is largely seen as fixed; in other words, while knowledge may be gained by others, what is known is not increased through transmission.
Transactional teaching typically includes inquiry-based learning where students ask questions about a topic and acquire information to come to an understanding of the topic, and problem-based learning, where students are given a challenge they need to solve. The focus, according to Miller, is on thinking rather than feeling. This type of learning is linked to "constructivism" where students create their own meaning.
My next blog posts will be on BC's new Draft Curriculum and the transactional and transformational opportunities it offers teachers and students to construct meaning and keep their learning.

I'd love to spend a day researching each of these questions from our Grade 6-7 students. If only I had the time!
The Grade 6-7 teachers at BICS understand that students likely feel the same way: They have interests that they would love to learn more about, if only they had the time. Although we provide opportunities within the BC curriculum for students to follow their passions, we felt it was important to truly honour, encourage and celebrate our students' curiosity by offering them a day to inquire into any topic that interested them.
This idea is not new. For years companies and schools have been providing "genius hours" which allow employees and students time to pursue their passions.
Step One – Ask an "important" question that is worthy of your time.
We gave students a strategy called the Question Formulation Techniqueto pick a "big" question that would sustain inquiry. Students were asked as a class to create criteria for what constitutes important.
Step Two – Share your question.
Students shared their question on the website padlet (http://padlet.com/wall/openminds2013). This allowed other students and parents to see and respond to the questions of all 75 students participating. In one instance, a parent shared a student's question with a professor and head of the Criminology Department at Simon Fraser University. The professor emailed the student's teacher a page worth of fascinating questions that the student could consider. More importantly than receiving the questions was that the student understood that her learning was important enough to society that a complete stranger took the time to respond, in depth, to her learning.
3. Make your learning purposeful.
Within five minutes of being released after instructions, all 75 students were fully engaged in their research.
The focus of the day was on learning, not sharing. But, we believe that engaged learners want to share their learning so we used the afternoon for students to visit with other students to learn about their topics. Many parents joined in for this process. Students were given a marker and a piece of large chart paper as the only tools, other than talking, to share their learning; the focus was on content not presentation.
After students spent the morning largely on computers, we wanted them to understand the importance of sharing their learning with others: not all information is on the internet and information that is available online is often scattered. It takes a person, a student, to synthesize this information into a format that makes sense for them and perhaps their context.
For the last half hour of the day, students were given a reflection sheet which asked several questions related to their learning and the learning of others. Students were asked what they found challenging, what was something they did that they will use again, when and how they did their best work as well as what they would do next time. In response to the learning of others, students were asked what the most surprising thing they learned was, the most interesting thing, and something they learned that they want to remember.
· Parents enjoyed the opportunity to engage with their child`s learning and the learning of other children. About twenty parents came for all or parts of the day; we even had a parent come to learn about her own topic, nicely modeling her passion for lifelong learning.
· The involvement of parents and our school's Principal heightened students' beliefs that this day, this celebration of their curiosity, was important.
· We have a truly remarkable group of grade 6-7 students who worked hard throughout the day with little prompting from their teachers.
· Most students, not all, really enjoyed Open Minds.
While teachers often see themselves as confined by time, it is refreshing to see ourselves as controllers of time as well. We have the ability to prioritize and make time for what we think is important. Open Minds has been a great way to make time for students to celebrate curiosity and explore their passions.
Thank you to the grade 6-7 team of Mrs. Magrath, Mrs. Rogers, Mrs. Wilcott and Ms. Layzell (on mat leave) for helping plan Open Minds and with the writing of this blog post.

Late at night, most people are sleeping. However, sometimes circumstances arise when someone needs to file either a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy or a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy before the stroke of midnight, in the middle of the night, or early in the morning. Therefore, occasionally I file bankruptcy petitions late at night.
Sometimes, there are clients who come to me at the very last minute, when there may just be hours to spare before a scheduled foreclosure sale. In such cases, the bankruptcy petition needs to be filed as soon as possible because the minute the petition is filed, the "automatic bankruptcy stay" goes into effect, effectively preventing the sale from going forward. Lawyer's ability to file an emergency bankruptcy cases is an important part of effective bankruptcy representation.
The reason I am able file bankruptcy petitions in the middle of the night is because all of the bankruptcy filings are done by electronic case filing (otherwise known as "E.C.F."). By using E.C.F., the petitions and other bankruptcy documents are filed over the internet electronically, directly into the bankruptcy court's computers. As a result, I can file a bankruptcy petition at any time.
The local rules do not require that the debtor file all of the supporting schedules at the time the case is initially filed. The case can be commenced by filing just the two-page bankruptcy petition together with a list of creditors and their addresses either in the form of the matrix or by filing the schedules of creditors. The debtor must also pay the filing fee.
The local rules permit the debtor to file the remaining schedules and forms within the next few days. If the remaining schedules and supporting documents are not filed during the applicable time periods, the Bankruptcy Court has the right to automatically dismiss the case. One requirement of a normal bankruptcy filing that cannot be waived in an emergency filing is the consumer credit counseling course. However, with consumer credit counseling courses available over telephone and internet, an emergency course provider can be found and a course can be completed at almost any time of day and night.
I prefer not to file emergency petitions, but sometimes it is necessary, and it is a part of the service I offer. Sometimes, I receive calls from the debtors who believe their house is about to be sold at a foreclosure sale. However, many of them confuse a motion return date in the foreclosure proceeding with the actual sale date. Before preparing an emergency filing, I always verify that there is a need to file bankruptcy as soon as possible.


Description	 It seems that when you go out from Ice Form while being sufficiently hungry ("Hungry" status in my case), the game automatically triggers vampiric weapon wield effect, killing you instantly due to starvation. I'm not sure if this has been considered, but it seems rather harsh and not in line with Crawl's philosophy of preventing player accidents.
Ouch. No, we definitely don't want this to happen. Maybe hunger costs shouldn't get applied at all when unmelding vampiric weapons - at the very least there should be a limit to how low it can take your hunger.
If you don't get distortion unwields, you shouldn't get vampiric wield effects from melding/unmelding.
It does seem like unmelding a weapon just shouldn't count as "wielding" since effectively you were always wielding the weapon, it had just become part of you for a while.
Huh, this would seem to be a regression since 0003783 wss supposed to be fixed.
It's fixed for simple vampiric branded weapons, but not for the Vampire's Tooth fixedart. An unmeld parameter was added to that artefact's equip function, but it's not used. Right now it just checks if the player is alive, and if so decrements hunger.
Fixed in trunk; applied the same check as vampiric weapons, the hunger part is skipped when unmelding.


To help us ring in Bicycle Day 2018 we are excited to announce over a dozen new blotter releases from 1xRUN favorites Ben Frost, Brandon Boyd, Denial, Glenn Barr, Leni Sinclair, Luke Chueh, Mike Giant, Niagara, Ricky Powell, Tavar Zawacki aka Above as well as welcome in photographer Roger Steffens/The Family Acid who joins us for his debut RUN featuring 4 iconic images throughout his storied career, including a shot of infamous Merry Prankster and LSD icon Ken Kesey! To help us bring it all together once again we've partnered up with Ken's son, Zane Kesey out in Oregon to help with all the printing for this year's print releases. Read on to check out more than a dozen from this year's Bicycle Day Print Suite. . .
This RUN is signed, numbered and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity from Ben Frost and 1xRUN.
Australian born artist Ben Frost is known for his kaleidoscopic Pop Art, mash-up paintings that take inspiration from areas as diverse as graffiti, collage, photorealism and sign-writing.
He has been exhibiting throughout the world for the last 12 years and has been involved in his own share of controversy. In 2000, he faked his own death for an exhibition suitably titled 'Ben Frost is Dead' which made national news in Australia. His painting 'White Children Playing' caused a stir for its graphic depiction of children using drugs and a masked and disgruntled assailant slashed one of the paintings in his exhibition at the Institute of Modern Art in Brisbane. Police also tried to remove one of his collaborative artworks in an exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney because of its graphic nature. He also began and continues to run the Australian street art website 'Stupid Krap' and started the yearly paste-up festival Paste-Modernism, which is the largest of its kind in the world.


We recently updated the global mean sea level time series through Jason-2 cycle 102. In this release, we updated the sea state bias model (SSB) for TOPEX to the CLS Collinear v. 2009 model (Jason-1 and Jason-2 were already updated to this same model in 2011_rel1). Additionally, we replaced the classical inverted barometer correction with the improved AVISO Dynamic Atmopshere Correction (DAC) for all missions. Although the latest Jason-2 GMSL estimates are well below the trend line, the rate increased slightly from 3.1 to 3.2 mm/yr due to the improvements to the TOPEX SSB model and replacement of the classical IB correction with the improved DAC correction.
We also began comparing the GMSL time series to the Multivariate ENSO Index since previous studies have shown that GMSL and ENSO changes are correlated. From the quick comparison, changes in the MEI tend to lead changes in the GMSL. Therefore, as the recent strong La Niña wanes, we expect the recent drop in GMSL to reverse and begin increasing (following the MEI reversal). We will continue investigating this in more detail.


BOSTON (AP) - A Rhode Island man will remain behind bars on charges of kidnapping a woman outside a Boston nightclub who was later found dead in the trunk of his car. Louis Coleman, of Providence, appeared Monday in Boston's federal court to face a charge of kidnapping resulting in death. His public defender says Coleman has agreed to remain held without bail and waived his right to a preliminary hearing.
Coleman is charged in the death of 23-year-old Jassy Correia. She disappeared after celebrating her birthday at a Boston club Feb. 24. Her body was found four days later in the trunk of the car Coleman was driving during a police stop in Delaware.
Authorities say she died from strangulation and blunt force trauma.
Coleman faces the possibility of the death penalty if convicted.

Our Catholic faith teaches us to "Love thy neighbor as thyself." Members of the Knights of Columbus show love for their neighbors by conducting food drives and donating the food to local soup kitchens and food pantries, by volunteering at Special Olympics, and by supporting, both spiritually and materially, mothers who choose life for their babies. Knights recognize that our mission, and our faith in God, compels us to action. There is no better way to experience love and compassion than by helping those in need, a call we answer every day.
None of us is as good as all of us. Members of the Knights of Columbus all know that – together – we can accomplish far more than any of us could individually. So we stick together…we support one another. That doesn't mean that we always agree or that there is never a difference of opinion. It does mean that – as a Knight of Columbus – you can count on the support and encouragement of your brother Knights as you work to make life better in your parish and community.
Venerable Michael J. McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus, in large part, to provide assistance to the widows and children left behind when the family breadwinner died – often prematurely. The Order's top-rated insurance program continues to do this today, as do the good works of individual Knights, who gave more than 75.6 million service hours in 2017, illustrating how Catholics serve each other in fraternity and mercy.
Members of the Knights of Columbus, be they Americans, Canadians, Mexicans, Cubans, Filipinos, Poles, or Dominicans, are patriotic citizens. We are proud of our devotion to God and country, and believe in standing up for both. Whether it's in public or private, the Knights remind the world that Catholics support their nations and are amongst the greatest citizens.

Great Lakes Bay Regional Alliance unveils theatre production of 'Mamma Mia!' with community partners
Matthew Felan, President and CEO of the Great Lakes Bay Regional Alliance talks about the importance of performing arts as a driver of community attachment.
Tommy Wedge, Assistant Professor of Theatre at SVSU will direct the production of Mama Mia! this fall.
In the first production of its kind, three local community theatres will be showcasing the wildly popular production of the hit Broadway musical 'Mamma Mia!' this fall.
Spurred by the Great Lakes Bay Regional Alliance, the effort brings together Midland Center for the Arts' Center Stage Theatre, Pit & Balcony Community Theatre and Bay City Players and will include public and school performances as well as many community activities.
Matthew Felan, President and CEO of the Great Lakes Bay Regional Alliance and representatives from each of the organizations gathered on stage at Midland Center for the Arts to make this exciting announcement on March 13.
"The goal of a regional Mamma Mia! production is to bring together and showcase the outstanding theatre talent from Bay, Isabella, Midland, and Saginaw Counties into one production," said Matthew Felan, President and CEO of the Great Lakes Bay Regional Alliance. "The Great Lakes Bay Region has long been home to outstanding community theatre and this will be an opportunity to highlight the immense talent from our four counties in one production."
"As someone who comes from a family that loves theatre and the performing arts, I am very excited about this collaboration and seeing the depth of talent coming together in our region," says Felan. "The arts are a vital piece in building the fabric of a vibrant community."
Tommy Wedge, Assistant Professor of Theatre at Saginaw Valley State University will direct the production, which is the ninth longest running show in Broadway history, experienced by more than 60 million worldwide in 440 cities and counting.
"Theatre roots run deep throughout our region and that shows in the talent we see on stage in our local productions," said Terri Trotter, President & CEO of Midland Center for the Arts and Co-Chair of the Great Lakes Bay Regional Alliance Quality of Life Subcommittee. "Attracting business to our region is the ultimate goal of the Alliance and to do that, we have to ramp up our promotion of the amazing cultural offerings we have in our region and do a better job telling the story of why this is such a great place to live."
"Taking an immensely popular musical like Mamma Mia! and presenting something that showcases the best talent we have in the region gives us a great platform to tell our regional story," says Trotter. "The Great Lakes Bay Regional Alliance helped convene this collaboration and we are all passionate about continuing to make the region a great place to live, work and play."
Several elements of the project will take place across the region. After the performance runs at Midland Center for the Arts in September, it will move to Pit and Balcony Community Theatre in Saginaw and host free performances for school students October 2-4.
With multiple shows in different locations there will be some theatrical challenges, like accommodating for different theatre sizes. To design for this, the teams will be building two separate sets simultaneously, with different scaling account for theatre dimensions and the cast will rehearse on both stages.
The effort will also spread to schools in the region, and many kids will get to experience the well-known production that almost everyone can recognize a familiar tune in.
"We shared the news with over 50 schools recently and the announcement was met with much enthusiasm," says Amy Spaadafore, Managing Director of Pit and Balcony Community Theatre. "Arts and culture are a vital part of a child's education and perspective, so we are looking forward to having some great engagement with the production this fall."
Cast and crew planning is being arranged now and the whole effort will include upwards of 150 volunteers to bring the show to the stage. If you are excited at the chance to be involved in this large community production, auditions for cast members will be held on July 9 at Pit & Balcony, July 11 at Midland Center for the Arts and July 12 at Bay City Players.
Tickets for Mamma Mia! will go on sale to the general public on June 27 and will be available from the box offices and websites of all three theatres. (www.midlandcenter.org, www.pitandbalconytheatre.com and www.baycityplayers.org)

1. Waiting for the Child- Sadly I can't find the music sheet but I will write down the notes and make up some lyrics.
The song is in Binary Form.
1st Form A can be with the flute and piano.
2nd Form A can turn to rock n' roll with the guitar and drums.
1st Form B can be with the flute and piano again.
2nd Form B can again turn to rock n' roll with the guitar and drums.
If it is too short, we will repect the song.
5. Who am I? By a Christian rock band called Casting Crowns. Written by Mark Hall and produced by Mark A. Miller and Steven Curtis Chapman.
To help with the band, a normal drum kit would be too loud. One solution could be to use a guitar hero drum kit and connect it to a PC. That way it will be a cheap electronic drum kit that can be used in the group.
Some solutions online require some software to be bought. I'm pretty sure there should be a way using only free software. Finlay has a drum kit we can use. Joshua Rajendran is interested to work on the interface between the kit and the PC. I'm happy to oversee the project.
The first thing we need to know, is exactly what version of drum kit Finlay has.
Here is a link that explains what needs to happen. There are various other solutions out there, but each one so far has involved some paid software, whereas this one is completely free.
It was great to meet some of you yesterday.
I thought I'd post a few youtube links for the song we worked on yesterday as well as the other 2 songs I gave you music for. For those of you who weren't there yesterday for our rehearsal, have a listen to these songs and start to familiarise yourself with them so we can rehearse in greater detail next week.
As I'm only here for another 3 weeks, we'll get through as much as we can. It would be great if you guys use this forum to communicate with me about any questions you may have regarding the music I have given you, any questions regarding being part of a band, rehearsal techniques, voicing in bands etc.
See you all next Thursday afternoon.
Looking forward to singing a couple of chants with you tomorrow.
This Thursday we will start the band as part of Extension RE. So go straight over the music room after school on Thursday. Ms Liz Donnellan will help us start the band. if you see anyone from the group, please remind them to come and feel free to invite others. Those who aren't musical, we will be working on other projects at the same time.
If you reply to this email it will be sent to the whole group and also turn up on the website.

"Thor: Ragnarok" Rocks the Big Screen
Julius Vaunado, Staff Writer
The notorious God of Thunder returns to the cinemas once more in his third stand-alone movie, "Thor: Ragnarok"; only this time he isn't necessarily alone. The movie puts the mighty Thor in an interesting situation, where he must fight his way through various circumstances in order to prevent the end of Asgard. Strangely enough, he finds himself in a gladiatorial competition on the other side of the universe pitted against his former ally, Hulk! With the additional help of his devious brother Loki, the trickster god, and warrior Valkyrie, Thor must put an end to the Goddess of Death, Hela's evil plot.
"Thor: Ragnarok" is rated PG-13 and was released on November 3rd, 2017. It has an approximate run time of 130 minutes. This movie was directed by Taika Waititi, who is also notable for directing popular movies, "What We Do in the Shadows," and "Hunt for the Wilderpeople." The film stars Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Cate Blanchett as Hela, Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie, Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/Hulk and Taika Waititi himself as Korg. The movie started with a budget of $180 million and in the span of 2 weeks has reached $502.3 million in the box office. Fellow senior, Jakarri Johnson, reviewed, "This movie was SO FUNNY. Korg was probably the best thing ever and Thor had such a potential for comedy that the director really captured. I can't wait to see how it all comes together in 'Infinity War'." Currently the movie has been given a rating of 93% on Rotten Tomatoes and an 8.2/10 on IMDb.
Review (Spoiler-Free): I thoroughly enjoyed this for it's great comedy and sturdy plot. This film did a great job of taking a character that audience members were already familiar with and putting a spin on him, shifting into a more lighthearted and naive personality. It's humor stuck almost every time because the characters themselves weren't trying to be funny; however the situations that they were put in created a comedic effect. It has managed to take cliches found in superhero movies and alter them in an interesting way, almost giving them validity again. The villain was definitely not the greatest that we've seen so far, but the film established a personal connection between Hela and our protagonist in a plausible and interesting way. The acting was phenomenal (apparently around 80% of the lines were improvised) and the visuals were astonishingly vibrant and colorful. This is a movie that had fun with the way that it was made. Marvel movies for a long while were constantly under the eyes of executives and officials that the heart that went into making them was barely visual. Senior, Michael McCloskey added to this saying, "Thor: Ragnarok had an incredibly unique style that makes this film something special. It was really fun in terms of tone and story however they sometimes threw away the story for the point of the joke. I would give it a 4.25/5." The last point to make is that this film combats the executives having control over the artistic vision, allowing the director to have relative freedom with interpretation, making risque jokes and creating an environment that truly highlights the purpose of watching a movie; to be entertained.
