Summing Up: A Reflection on a Changing Focus at Community Colleges
Jim Chesher, Emeritus Professor Philosophy Department, Santa Barbara City College
According to recent findings in positive psychology, among the basic elements of individual happiness are love and work1. That is, happiness requires having healthy social relationships and productive, meaningful work. I've been blessed on both counts; all the more so because many of my self-sustaining relationships have come from those with whom I have worked and my career at one of California's community colleges has been deeply rewarding.
That said, over the years, gradually but perceptibly, there has been a change in the culture of the college and how it feels to be a teacher here. I fear this change is occurring on a wider and perhaps national scale. The demands of institutional accountability, dependency on technology, bureaucratic complexity, along with their attendant training, deadlines, paper work, etc., have created a sense of urgency, busy-ness and worry over things-to-be-done that have little or nothing to do with teaching and learning. As one's sense of time contracts because of urgency, so does one's consciousness and spirit. As time is filled with busy-ness, opportunity for reflection, collegial interaction, and creative restorative endeavors diminishes. The college feels more and more like a factory of workers trying to meet a production quota than a haven for inquiring minds. Add to this the constant reminder that somehow the faculty can and should be doing better. Then what comes is another wave of improvement workshops driven by a catchy acronym. Ours is becoming a time-impoverished, force-fed, fast-paced culture not conducive to teaching and learning.
At the same time, our students seem increasingly less prepared for and clueless about college level work. Many are shy - not only in the requisite scholastic skills, but more disturbing, in the attitude and motivation that can support them in facing the challenges of learning and inspire them to do their best. We have failed to establish and implement many reasonable course prerequisites for fear of enrollment loss. There is no legitimate dispute about this. I was here when it was made explicit that we simply could not do what we ought to have done.
Instead, we take refuge in the "Skills Advisory" note to students, a caveat designed to protect the college by warning students who, in turn, predictably and routinely ignore the warning in their anxious rush to find courses convenient for their busy schedules. The realization that we would continue to allow students into our courses despite their lack of preparedness for the work was the low point of my career. We invited the inevitable: a loosening of academic standards, grade inflation, and perpetuation of the entitlement mentality of many students. We could have stopped this in its tracks, had we the courage and the will. To be sure, most of our colleges pass accreditation, and rightly so, all things considered; but it seems that in large measure, though the emperor is not stark naked, we are praising his rather threadbare clothes.
California's Community Colleges are on a "Mission of Excellence." They also are the "College of Second Chances" – the latter a unique feature of community colleges. These are noble ideals, each worthy of our efforts, each tugging at the other. My worry is that we have been too keen on "serving" our students, which has come at their expense. We need to shift the burden of learning back to them, to serve less and to demand more. This may not be feasible, or even possible, since we seem to have backed ourselves into a corner.
Nevertheless I am an optimist, else I would not have remained in teaching. I also remind myself that it is typical of the "old guard" to think the sky is falling. I believe human beings (as well as institutions) are resilient and the human capital at our colleges is wide and deep. The solutions lie here with our faculty. But they must be protected from conditions that threaten to squander their talents, drain their energy, and dampen their spirits. With the budget crisis as the catalyst, that will be the litmus test for California's community colleges and for higher education in general. In our legitimate concern to make ends meet, we risk losing sight of the noble ends that we should strive to meet and that ultimately give meaning to our calling.

I have worked with Lidwinia before and was very excited to have her as a guest. She travelled all the way from Limpopo for our show and we were very happy to have her. She's been teaching for 30 years and is an internal moderator within the province.
Needless to say, I was quite excited to talk about a couple of thoughts I've had.
More specifically, I wanted to know why we bothered to reteach the basics in Grade 11 analytical geometry. The only new content we need to teach in Grade 11 is angle of inclination, the rest of it has been taught in previous grades.
I understand that in Grade 12, the circle is introduced, but even working with this concept is fairly simple to master. My argument is that instead of more teaching, we need more time to practice the skills.
I'm not sure Lidwinia agreed with me completely. She said that with 'mathematically minded', this approach could work. However, with a more normal class, they would need to do revision first. She mentioned the phrase 'success breeds success' and spoke a lot about confidence within the learner. These are important points. To be honest, I'm not convinced that either way is right or wrong. I'd really like to hear from teachers who have tried both. Tell me what works and what doesn't.
Let's get on to the information that was on the slides.
Revise the Grade 10/11 formulae for distance, gradient, inclination, midpoint and how to determine the equation of a straight line.
Use a geometric figure with given points in different quadrants to calculate the different quantities. Discuss the validity of answers and common sense ways to test validity of answers.
Revise general geometry terminology and properties of different quadrilaterals by drawing them, discussing properties of diagonals, angles and sides.
Provide one problem with many sub questions which has to be solved by integrating all of the above.
Introduce the basic principles of the prescribed Grade 12 content:- equations of circles (circles with the origin as centre as well as circles with a translated centre) as well as equations of tangents to a circle.
By teaching - or trying to find variables or equations - without plotting all information on a sketch.
Trying mechanically to use methods used in one problem on the next problem.
Helping the learner too much or too soon or too often. Talking too much.
Well, that's all for now. Until next week, happy teaching!


• Monitor the patient with diarrhea from the point of first contact until symptoms resolve, keeping in mind that most episodes are self-limiting.
• Question the patient to determine whether symptom resolution occurs within 48 to 72 hours in acute diarrhea.
• Monitor for the maintenance of hydration, particularly when symptoms continue for more than 48 hours. Look for increasing thirst, decreased urination, dark-colored urine, dry mucous membranes, and rapid heartbeat as suggestive of dehydration, especially when nausea and vomiting have been present.
• Monitor for symptom control in patients with chronic diarrhea.
• When antibiotics are used, monitor for completion of the course of therapy.
1. Assess the patient's symptoms to determine if patient-directed therapy is appropriate or whether the patient should be evaluated by a physician. Determine the type of symptoms, severity, frequency, and exacerbating factors. Remember to inquire about recent foreign travel.
2. Determine if the patient is dehydrated.
3. Determine whether the patient has a history of disease that might be associated with diarrhea.
4. Obtain a thorough current history of prescription, nonprescription, and dietary supplement use. Remember to review the current therapy as a potential cause of diarrhea.
5. Determine if any diarrhea treatments have been attempted, including home remedies.
6. Medical referral is advised if the patient is pregnant, breast-feeding, younger than 3 or older than 70 years of age, or suffers from multiple medical conditions.
7. If home care is recommended, provide clear instructions about how to proceed if symptoms do not improve or new symptoms emerge.
8. Discuss the importance of maintaining nutrition by modifying the diet to include low-residue meals (low-fiber meals).
9. Educate the patient about: (a) the causes of acute and chronic diarrhea, (b) the possible complications of diarrhea, (c) the goals of treatment for diarrhea, (d) the an-tidiarrheal medication used to manage acute or chronic diarrhea, and (e) if appropriate, the circumstances when antibiotics are used to treat diarrhea.

Liquid Screed:
Introducing Self-Levelling Liquid Screeds:
What Are Self-Levelling Screeds?
How To Measure the Use of a Levelling Compound?
The Essential Prep Work:
Clean The Floor
Fill Any Cracks in The Floor
Apply The Primer
Mixing The Compound
Drying The Concrete Leveler
USPS Of Self-Levelling Liquid Screeds:
At the end of the day:
Traditionally, leveling screeds have been a semi-dry combination of OPC cement and sharp screeding sand. They provide to exert a structural slab with a rough or choppy floor.
These are commonly set up manually with screeding rates among 125 and 150 rectangular meters according to day. However, automatic screeding equipment uplifts it to approximately 500 square meters daily.
Self-smoothing or self-leveling Liquid Screed Installation Portsmouth is a modern choice for semi-dry screeds.
Self-leveling screeds are typically available in versions. They can have cement-main components or be made using sulphate/anhydrite-based materials. The pumped anhydrite ground screeds cost as much as GBP25/m3. However, with the m2 measured, the typical liquid screeds price is about GBP 21.5.
Self-leveling screeds include latex, and there are two ways you get this. One is where the latex liquid and powder come in different containers. The next is a bag of powder that comprises the liquid compound. Experts advise that first-timers go for the latter choice.
Liquid, self-leveling screeds are free-flowing. Typically, screeds are for leveling choppy floor systems, particularly those with cutting-edge formed concrete beams and slab flooring.
These have a splendid camber that could cause problems while laying the floor surfaces. Another preferred use of ground screeds is in underfloor heating pipes. Here, because the material absorbs and radiates warm temperatures, the screeds grow to be a domineering part of the system.

Also, whilst utilized in a storage conversion, floorboards are located over thick sheets of insulation. They are installed using pumps over huge areas. Using this way, screeding charges of up to 1000 rectangular meters in step with the day aren't any big deal.
Now, why do floors come to be uneven, one may wonder? Typically, because of moisture or cracking. If you intend to do it yourself, you could test your concrete ground using a long spirit degree.
Start by keeping up the low-stop stage until the bubble involves the center. Once there, measure the gap between the floor and the raised cease to the level. If the unevenness is less than 5mm, you can use a self-leveling compound.
Whatever the chosen liquid screed, getting the guidance right is supreme.
Liquid Screed Installation Portsmouth
First, dispose of all the appliances and furniture from the room. The floor space needs to be clear and can most straight forwardly be precisely done. Also, sweep the floor to make sure it's miles dust-free. Better yet, move over it once more with a vacuum cleaner.
Scour through the flooring for big cracks and cowl them using a filler and sealer. You can do that by putting the nozzle of the concrete filler bottle into the cracks and squeezing the stuffing out. On the other hand, you could use a trowel. Allow the filler and sealer to dry earlier than persevering with any work.

Once prepped, you can practice the primer. Use a soft-bristle push broom. Spread it throughout the whole floor and spread it very well. You can practice down-stress when running into the concrete pores. Once performed, depart it to dry. This can take everywhere from 3 to 24 hours. Wait for a tacky finish.
It is now time to combine the compound. Keep a bucket and a mixing paddle handy! Only blend enough to create the desired range of screed pressure. Only blend up to a bag at a time. The cause is that you only have 15-30 to pour and unfold the compound.
Most concrete leveling compounds dry quickly. One can walk over them after 4 hours; however, they are most effective and scorched after 24 hours. Once completely dry, you can deploy other varieties of flooring. However, the drying time varies with temperature and humidity, so verify the leveling compound.
These do not require significant volumes of water
They may be mounted over concrete, wood, plywood, ceramic, and different floor kinds
Quick and clean installation
There is a huge demand for self-leveling liquid screeds in the builders' community. However, those are niche and are cost-effective whilst used on ground areas of at least forty rectangular meters. The traditional sand or cement screeds are used to put the muse for more minor home extensions.
If you've encountered uneven floors, look no further; K M Flow Screed is to the rescue. The crew is proficient at presenting and pouring screed on your new space. Plus, they help with underfloor heating and tiled floors as well.

Q: Linked Cabal sandboxes - shared libraries not found from `cabal repl` I've got two packages that I'm developing, A and B. Package B depends on A.
A was developed in it's own sandbox, and a similar story goes for B:
A> cabal sandbox init
A> cabal install --enable-shared

B> cabal sandbox init
B> cabal sandbox add-source ../A/
B> cabal install

also note that shared: True is in my ~/.cabal/config.
Everything looks good here, they both install just fine. However, while working on B, if I issue cabal repl, cabal-install tells me that it can't load the libAsomething.so/.dll file. What went wrong here?
Here is the exact error:
...
Loading package mtl-0.0.1 ... linking ... done.
Loading package A-0.0.0 ... <command line>: can't load .so/.DLL for: /home/athan/dev/A/.cabal-sandbox/lib/x86_64-linux-ghc-7.8.3/A-0.0.0/libHSA-0.0.0-ghc7.8.3.so (/home/athan/dev/foo/B/.cabal-sandbox/lib/x86_64-linux-ghc-7.8.3/A-0.0.0/libHSA-0.0.0-ghc7.8.3.so: undefined symbol: AsomethingCrazyInAmodule_closure)

Edit:
I'm using GHC 7.8.3 and cabal-install 1.20.0.3.

A: Does using just one sandbox work for you?
(unpack A into src/A)
(unpack B into src/B)
cd src/B
cabal sandbox init
cabal add-source ../src/A
cabal install                -- builds both A and B

Now there is only one sandbox (located in src/B).

A quiet morning at a church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, turned into a bloodbath Sunday when a gunman dressed in full combat gear walked in and opened fire during services, killing at least 26 people and injuring 20 others, including children.
The shooting erupted about 11:20 a.m. Central Time at the First Baptist Church, with about 50 people in attendance during the onslaught.
The shooter, identified by numerous media as Devin Patrick Kelley, a 26-year-old from New Braunfels, Texas, was killed after a chase from Wilson County into neighboring Guadalupe County. Kelley was formerly in the U.S. Air Force, specializing in logistics readiness.
"Shooting Back" book and DVD: Charl Van Wyk makes a biblical, Christian case for individuals to arm themselves with guns, and does so more persuasively than perhaps any other author – because he found himself in a church attacked by terrorists.
At a news conference Sunday evening, the Texas Department of Public Safety said the shooter, dressed in black an wearing a bulletproof vest, initially started shooting outside the church, before moving inside and continuing to fire.
Witnesses said the shooter had time to reload his weapon.

Upon his exit, a local resident grabbed his own rifle and engaged the subject. The suspect dropped his weapon and then got into a vehicle where a chase ensued. The suspect's vehicle eventually ran off the roadway and the shooter was found deceased in his vehicle.
At this time, it is unclear if Kelley took his own life or was mortally wounded by the resident.
A two-year-old child is reported among the 20 people injured.
The fatal victims range from 5 years old to 72, including a pregnant woman.
First Baptist Church Pastor Frank Pomeroy told ABC that his 14-year-old daughter is among the dead.
The interior of the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas.
She "was one very beautiful, special child," said the pastor, who was out of town at the time of the attack.
The incident is the deadliest shooting at a place of worship in modern U.S. history, surpassing the nine killed at Emanuel AME Baptist Church in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2015.
Later from Tokyo, Trump added: "We pull together, we join hands we lock arms and through the tears and through the sadness, we stand strong, oh so strong.
"We ask for God's comfort, for God's guidance, and for God's healing for all those that are suffering," Abbott said later at a news conference.
"Looking around, it's very sorrowful and the pastors from all the local churches right now are just trying to console everybody," said Flores.

Psalm 103:2 says, "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits." Remembering who God is and what he has done is so important to the Christian because remembering stokes the fire of our hearts to worship God.
Psalm 51 is the prayer of David after he is confronted with his sin. As we read and learn from his prayer of confession and repentance we find that we too, while grieving the sin in our life can find joy and freedom in God's forgiveness.
Psalm 1 and 2 compliment each other. In a way, they serve as an introduction to the book of Psalms as a whole. Psalms is more than a book of songs and prayers. It is instructive. We see that in these first two chapters as we learn how choosing godliness leads to worshipping the one true God.
One of our 4 pillars at Harvest is "Unsahamed Adoration." We want to lift high the name of Jesus in worship because he is worthy. In Psalm 122 we see that we have been given an invitation to worship the Lord. How are you going to answer that invitation?

Broner has a good chin, but don't worry
Theodore P. Jurado
Pacquiao, Roach working together again.
Legendary boxing trainer Freddie Roach knows Adrien Broner has a good chin, something that makes the American challenger a tough customer for Manny Pacquiao in the eyes of many.
But don't tell that to Roach, who now serves as the Filipino fighter's coaching consultant.
According to Roach, Team Pacquiao has already devised a strategy with the Filipino great winning by knockout foremost in its mind.
"He does have a good chin," Roach said in BoxingScene.com, referring to Broner.
"But the game plan is to break him down, break the body down and he'll go, sooner or later."
Roach, who served as Pacman's head trainer at the height of the Filipino's dominant reign as champion in eight divisions, added that Pacquiao will be more determined to get that knockout win against Broner.
The Filipino boxer tasted his first knockout victory in years against Lucas Matthysse, whom he beat last year in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
For Roach, it's all about Pacquiao's mindset. He thinks Pacquiao's religious beliefs got in the way of his pursuit to hurt his foes.
"He's always had the power and so forth," he said. "It's just that part of it is in his head, where he didn't have to hurt his opponents. But that went away in the last fight, and I hope that stays away."
"Manny watched his last fight and it was the best fight he's had in a long time, the first knockout he's had in probably [8 1/2] years. I think of lot of what went on there can be channeled over to this fight."
The bout is scheduled Jan 19. (Jan. 20 in Manila) in Las vegas, Nevada.
Meanwhile, Pacquiao will be a special guest at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California when the Los Angeles Clippers celebrate Filipino Heritage Night for their home game against the Charlotte Hornets on Jan. 8 (Jan. 9, Manila time).
Pacquiao will be joined by Filipino-American international recording artist Allan Pineda Lindo, better known as apl.de.ap from the hip-hop group The Black Eyed Peas.
The little celebration of Filipino heritage is surely a welcome distraction for Pacquiao, who's deep in training camp.
Pacquiao has been in the United States since late December, as he's back training at the Wild Card Gym alongside long-time trainer and now consultant Roach.

Dan Fellman, left, Hollywood's foremost film distribution expert, and Fred Rosen, the retired Ticketmaster tycoon, at the Red Carpet office in Beverly Hills, Calif., on March 19. Red Carpet Home Cinema offers Hollywood's latest movies, but it's not cheap for customers to rent films still in the theaters.
WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. >> Fred Rosen, the retired Ticketmaster tycoon, was eating a melted ham-and-brie sandwich at the exclusive San Vicente Bungalows and spouting forth about belts.
It's an idea that has captivated one entrepreneur after another over the years: For a high price, allow tech billionaires, Wall Street titans, professional athletes, Russian oligarchs and other ultrawealthy people to rent movies — as soon as they come out in theaters — for viewing at home. Think of it like Netflix for 1-percenters. But such upstarts have always sputtered, including one backed by Best Buy in 2013 that charged $500 per movie on top of $35,000 in setup costs. Film studios, fearful of angering theater chains, have been reluctant to participate. Piracy has also been a concern.
"Consumers want to have more control," Vogel said.
"I have no take on that," said Adam Aron, chief executive of AMC Entertainment, the dominant theater chain in the United States. In contrast, Aron has readily criticized startups like MoviePass, the subscription ticketing service.
The folksy Rosen, who took over Ticketmaster in 1982 and helped turn it into a goliath, and Fellman, who started his studio career in 1964, worked out details for Red Carpet over rounds of golf at the well-to-do Hillcrest Country Club in Los Angeles. The luxury service operates a bit like a private club. There is a rigorous application process, and participants must have a credit card with a limit of at least $50,000. Those who become customers must buy a $15,000 box that connects to a home theater system (installed by a technician) and comes loaded with piracy protections.
How big could Red Carpet get? There are more people who can afford it than you might think. Nearly 46,000 Americans have annual income of more than $2 million, according to Social Security Administration data from 2017. Rosen and Fellman, however, insisted over lunch in mid-March that they were not interested in size.
"We're not even looking for 10,000 people," Rosen said. With fewer than 4,000 customers, Red Carpet could have $300 million in annual revenue, according to Fellman's projections.
Red Carpet, which counts Sherry Lansing, former chief executive of Paramount, as an investor, has been operating in about 25 homes as part of a beta test since December. "I'm recommending the service to my friends," the Red Carpet website quotes Lansing as saying.

Howard Levy and Illinois Premiere Highlight Evanston Symphony Orchestra Valentine's Day Concert
Evanston, IL — Harmonica virtuoso Howard Levy will join the Evanston Symphony Orchestra in his own Concerto for Diatonic Harmonica and Orchestra on Sunday February 14, 2016 at 2:30 PM at Pick-Staiger Concert Hall in Evanston. Conducted by Music Director Lawrence Eckerling, the concert marks the ESO debut of Evanston resident Levy, who will also provide improvisations of selected songs as part of the orchestral suite from George Gershwin's Porgy and Bess.
This all-American concert also features the Illinois premiere of Dreamtime Ancestors by eminent composer Christopher Theofanidis. This 17 minute showpiece was specially commissioned by a consortium of approximately 50 U.S. orchestras, including the ESO. The suite from Aaron Copland's film score for The Red Pony rounds out the program.
Advance tickets at $30 ($25 for seniors, $5 for full-time students) are available on-line at www.evanstonsymphony.org or by calling 847.864.8804. FREE children's tickets (12 and under) are only available by calling 847.864.8804.
Founded in 1945, the Evanston Symphony was the Illinois Council of Orchestra's "Orchestra of the Year" in 2010. The ESO mission is to provide community members of all ages with convenient, affordable opportunities to perform and hear fine classical music from locally, nationally and internationally renowned artists.

You don't have to say goodbye to the Les Paul Google doodle. The search giant has created a standalone site for the playable Google logo.
Music fans, rejoice! The popularity of the playable Les Paul Google doodle has prompted the search engine to create a standalone site where users can play to their hearts' content.
"With all the great tunes you've created, we had to give the #LesPaul doodle a permanent home. Keep on rockin!" Google tweeted Friday night.
You can find the site at google.com/logos/2011/lespaul.html. Play the logo just as you did on the Google.com homepage; U.S. users can record and share their masterpieces.
The Thursday doodle, in honor of musician and electric guitar pioneer Les Paul, features the strings of a guitar in the shape of the Google logo. That logo is actually playable—strum it with your mouse and it plays a song. The concept is arguably now one of the search giant's most popular homepage creations. The company even left it up an additional day in the U.S. due to popular demand.
Here in the PCMag offices, the newsroom was filled with the sounds of amateur musicians crafting their own masterpieces all day Thursday. We eventually asked Chris Phillips, PCMag's creative director and an actual musician, to play us a real song and he mapped out directions for using the doodle to play the Beatles' "Here Comes the Sun."
Other users posted their creations to Twitter and Facebook, and uploaded to YouTube in droves. We selected a few favorites, and also checked out the celebrities who tried their hand at the doodle.
This is not the first doodle to get the standalone treatment. A May 2010 playable tribute to Pac-Man's 30th anniversary proved so popular that Google let it live on at Google.com/Pacman. According to one report, the doodle zapped nearly 4.8 million hours of our productivity.
An interactive tribute to Jules Verne, meanwhile, also proved very popular and also got its own site at www.google.com/logos/verne_hd.html. Rather than viewing the ocean through the "portholes" of the Google logo like the homepage doodle, the standalone site provides a picture window view of various sea creatures who move up and down with the ocean's tides. To navigate the scene, use the lever on the right to dive below the surface.
For more on Google's doodles, see the slideshow below.


You're probably aware that smoking raises your life insurance premiums. Almost everyone knows that. But, did you know that your general lifestyle and occupations can also affect your auto insurance? It can. Here's how and what you can do about it.
Actuaries are professional mathematicians who spend their entire careers, day in and day out, looking for small statistical nuances that predict the likelihood of a claim. What they find usually surprises even them. They use this information to adjust how insurance products are built.
Consequently, this means that lifestyle, diet, and careers can all play a role in what an insurance company charges you for a policy. And, while each insurance company makes rulings on what it will accept as evidence for increasing premiums, one thing that almost al insurers agree on is your previous driving history and accident history.
The more accidents you have, the higher your rates. Your driving history and things like speeding tickets can also negatively affect your insurance rates. When you get a speeding ticket, it's correlated with more risky driving behavior in general. Even if this is your first ticket, some insurance companies see this as you merely being caught, and that you may have unusually bad or risky driving (and other) behaviors that put the insurer at an increased risk for claims.
Of course, not all insurers will raise your rates based on a first-time speeding offense. This is where shopping around and asking about company policy pays off.
If you've been in an accident, this is another thing that may negatively affect your insurance rates – especially if you were found at fault. Working with this Dallas accident lawyer might help you out, if you're currently battling with an insurer over fault. Outside of that, there's nothing you can do to reduce premium rates for past accidents.
You may be able to offset higher premiums, or flat extra premium charges, by taking safe driving or defensive driving classes. Some states, and some insurers, will accept this as proof of your willingness and ability to improve driving habits and will offer you credits. While this does not eliminate the flat extra premium for a speeding ticket or an accident, it will credit you premium, so the net result is a lower total premium payment.
Insurers have correlated low credit scores with more reckless behavior on the road. So, if your credit score is low, even if it makes you mad that insurers think this way, you'll pay more for insurance.
But, to be honest, most people with low credit scores know they have a spending or saving problem – probably both. They may not want to admit it, or may get upset when someone points it out, but the fact remains. All this is to say that it's a very good idea to get your financial house in order and raise that credit score. Become more financially responsible and you'll probably (mysteriously) find that you'll become a better driver, at least in the eyes of insurance companies.
Your education and profession can affect your insurance rates. There's a correlation between low education and high accident rates. Each level of education you complete might help reduce your rates, according to Robert Hunter, director of insurance at the Consumer Federation of America.
Trade professions, and professional careers, like doctors, lawyers, teachers, and financial professionals, also enjoy lower insurance rates.
Likewise, engaging in risky professions raises your rates. If you're a professional race car driver, forget about it. Do you drag race on the streets? Your rates may be prohibitively expensive and many insurers may refuse to insure you at all.
If you drive a delivery truck, the sheer number of hours on the road makes you a higher risk, and truck drivers and trucking companies pay some of the highest insurance rates in the world. If you work in construction, this is another risk factor insurers look at, especially if you own your own construction company or are a small contractor driving on the public roads from one job site to another.
Where you live can make a dramatic difference in your insurance rates. Zip codes with high accident rates pay more. If you live in an area where people, in general, are more reckless, you're suddenly in a high risk pool of drivers.
If you live in a rural area with few accidents, your rates could drop by hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars.

Kemp names Bradbury as new regent in further board shuffle
ATLANTA (AP) — Gov. Brian Kemp is further shuffling Georgia's Board of Regents, which governs the 26 institutions of the University System of Georgia.
Kemp announced Friday that Sachin Shailenda and Rachel Little are no longer on the board because they no longer live in the congressional districts they were appointed to represent. Shailendra had lived in the 13th Congressional District and Little had lived in the 4th District, but that changed after lawmakers drew new lines.
Kemp shifted Cade Joiner of Brookhaven from an at-large seat to representing the 4th District, while he was shifting Neal Pruitt of Atlanta from the 11th District to one of five at-large seats that can be filled by anyone statewide.
Kemp announced homebuilder Tom Bradbury as the new regent representing the 11th District in the northwest Atlanta suburbs. Bradbury has a history as a major homebuilder and founded his current company, Woodstock-based Smith Douglas Homes.
Governors typically name their top supporters to be regents. Bradbury and his wife have given tens of thousands of dollars to Kemp's campaigns for governor.
Kemp earlier this month named commercial contractor Richard "Tim" Evans to the seat representing Georgia's 6th District and named trucking entrepreneur Jim Syfan to the seat representing northeast Georgia's 9th District.
Friday's changes further shuffle a 19-member board that must decide on a permanent leader for the 340,000 student system.
Sonny Perdue has sought to become chancellor of the system, but his bid has apparently been stymied by internal opposition from some regents. The board instead appointed Teresa MacCartney as acting chancellor on June 30.
The "acting" title could have signified that regents expected MacCartney, previously the system's executive vice chancellor of administration, to hold the post for only a short while. She wasn't named the interim chancellor, as predecessor Steve Wrigley was named before regents decided he should lead the system permanently.
There's been no public movement since then on finding a permanent chancellor, although regents said in June that they were still looking for a permanent leader.
In May, regents hired a new search firm after the previous firm quit, citing "misinformation." The new search firm was supposed to reexamine existing candidates and recruit new ones. The agency that accredits all the schools asked in April whether there had been undue political pressure to appoint Sonny Perdue as the system's leader. In June, responding to a public records request by The Associated Press, the system said no one ever responded to that inquiry.

Elio Momentum v36 – What did you miss at the North American International Auto Show?
Elio Motors shifts into high gear at Detroit's NAIAS
In last week's Momentum, we announced Elio Motors would be under the bright lights of the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. It's one of the auto industry's most important global events and is a time to shine in front of worldwide auto media, auto executives, industry influencers and thousands of potential customers. But, to be one of the stars of the show, it's important to have substance as well as style.
Elio Motors definitely showed a bit of both.
We showed the automotive world our recently revealed P5 prototype and talked with global media, other automakers, and a variety of industry executives and engineers about our vision for transforming how people think about personal transportation. As always, the P5 was well received, stopping people in their tracks when they noticed the targeted price, fuel economy, or simply the eye-catching design. The P5 definitely shined brightly at the show.
At a news conference on the second of two Media Preview Days, Paul Elio announced several critical milestones:
The success of our Regulation A+ stock offering – To date this offering has raised nearly $16 million, which is more than the $12.6 million needed to move to the next phase of development on the vehicle – building our E-Series prototypes.
The closing of our current Regulation A+ offering on February 1 – Anyone interested in taking advantage of the Regulation A+ offering has untilFebruary 1, 2016 to purchase stock.
That Elio stock will soon be traded on the OTCQX Exchange – Elio Motors has filed to trade its stock on the OTCQX exchange, the top tier of the three marketplaces for trading over-the-counter stocks provided and operated by the OTC Markets Group. Speaking of the Regulation A+ stock offering process, Paul said, "I believe we are the first company to go through the whole process of test-the-waters, take Reg A+ investments, and then list publicly."
The E-Series prototype build commencement – Now that funding is secure, work has begun on the E-Series prototypes, which will be used for a variety of testing and engineering purposes, allowing the company to move toward production.
Commitment to using North American Content – Elio Motors announced that MTX Audio will assemble the Elio audio system in the United States.
That's a lot to wedge into one 30-minute news conference… but we weren't done there. Today, Elio Motors also reached out to television and radio reporters as well as Internet media on a Satellite Media Tour, the first day of Industry Preview Days. In total, Paul reached more than one million consumers with the Elio Motors message of affordability, fuel efficiency, and American jobs.
Of course, being in the spotlight is nothing new for Elio Motors or for Paul. When you're doing something revolutionary or unusual or, to use a currently popular business term, "disruptive," people take notice. This is how we tell the Elio Motors story and how we will continue to make sure that people who want to buy into the future of transportation will have the opportunity.

Illegal Dumping is a crime of opportunity. It is the improper disposal of waste at any location other than a permitted landfill or facility. There are over 184 sites in Oklahoma where the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) officially permits disposal of solid waste. Disposal of waste anywhere else is against the law. Not only is it against the law, but illegal dumping also poses a threat to human health and the environment.
Also known as open dumping or midnight dumping, illegal dumping usually happens in open areas, detention ponds, in wooded areas and even in state parks, and frequently occurs late at night. Other common locations include abandoned industrial sites, vacant lots on public or private property and little used roadways or alleyways. Areas along rural roads and railways are particularly vulnerable because of the accessibility and poor lighting. The waste is primarily non-hazardous material that is dumped to avoid disposal fees or the time and effort required for proper disposal.
Enforcement of the laws against illegal dumping depends on your location. If you live within Edmond's City Limits, the Code Enforcement Division of Edmond's Community Image Department can be contacted to enforce Edmond's ordinances and Oklahoma's state laws against illegal dumping. Any Code Enforcement Officer who witnesses illegal dumping may issue a ticket to the offender on the spot. The fine for dumping is $249, along with the requirement to clean up the area. In addition, three pieces of evidence with an individual's name and address on them (i.e. an old envelope), collected by Code Enforcement Officers at an illegal dump site, can be used to prosecute violators in municipal court.
What types of materials are found in illegal dump sites?
Construction & Demolition (C&D) debris is a particular problem and makes up a large percentage of illegal dumps. Some builders and contractors cut their costs by illegal dumping, thus under-bidding those who legally dispose of their materials at permitted C&D debris landfills.
Several county and local governments across the state of Oklahoma are now installing security cameras at known illegal dump sites, making the task of enforcement much easier on local law enforcement. Offenders beware!
Illegal Dumping often attracts more illegal dumping, and when visible from roadways, this waste is aesthetically unpleasing. Runoff from these sites may contaminate surface waters used as a drinking water source, such as Arcadia Lake.
The health and safety hazards associated with illegal dumping are not limited to environmental pollution. Illegal dump sites also create physical hazards, particularly for children, who can be exposed to chemicals or hurt themselves on sharp objects while playing in or near the debris. The debris in these sites also has the potential to block drainage ways, making the surrounding area more susceptible to flooding. An additional safety hazard results from dumping occurring in the right-of-way, creating road obstructions that result in hazardous driving conditions.
Illegal Dump sites also attract all kinds of rodents and insects. For example, illegal dumps with waste tires provide a perfect place for mosquitoes to breed. Mosquitoes can multiply 100x faster than normal in the warm, stagnant water that collects in the tires.
Solving the problem of illegal dumping requires a partnership between our government, organizations and citizens, all of whom enjoy the benefits of a clean community. It is also important for all of us to be aware and to get involved. Simple actions on your part, such as reporting any illegal dumping, can help keep a small problem from becoming a big problem!
Residents and businesses in the City of Edmond have numerous convenient and reasonably priced, or even free, options for recycling or disposal. In addition to the services provided by the Solid Waste Services Division of Edmond's Public Works, there are numerous thrift and secondhand stores that accept gently used goods and furniture.
Keep Edmond Clean - Help Stop Illegal Dumping!


Georgia (6-0, 4-0) trailed 3-0 following a 25-yard field goal by Vanderbilt's Ryle Guay less than five minutes into the game. On the Bulldogs' next play, Fromm answered with the long scoring pass to Godwin, who fought off cornerback Joejuan Williams' tackle attempt.
Georgia's defense contained senior quarterback Kyle Shurmur, who threw for only 169 yards while completing 14 of 28 passes.
Georgia finished with 28 first downs and 560 yards, including 219 on the ground against a defense that stacked the line to stop the run.
Georgia: Despite the slow start, the Bulldogs topped 40 points for the fifth time in six games; they beat Tennessee 38-12 last week. Georgia had been outrushed 80-7 before their first possession of the second quarter, when Elijah Holyfield had back-to-back carries to launch an 86-yard drive capped by his 24-yard run . The drive helped the offense gain momentum.


Our team tried out the popular productivity blog Buffer's list of scientific suggestions this week and we added our own unscientific data to the mix. We spend a significant portion of our lives working, so why not do all we can to create a positive and enjoyable experience in the workplace?
We had some fun with it and hope you enjoy reading it. Feel free to add to the list with your own ideas on how to be happy.
It's tough to be unhappy when you're outside running, playing, and sweating. Exercising helps us not to sweat the small stuff—the little things that annoy us and take us off track from happiness. Another note: after exercising and sweating, please shower before returning to your workplace. This has a direct effect on the happiness of those around you.
We also believe that eating healthy is a key happiness factor. Traditional "comfort foods" laden with white flour and sugar might not be making you happy. We are not experts, but we do believe a healthy diet of natural foods increases the happiness factor.
Nothing helps you sleep at night better than an honest day of hard work. For employees with growing children, pass on this one. You aren't going to sleep for 18-20 years.
It makes sense to us and it helps the environment. Plus, it allows you to accomplish the next item.
Become friends with your work associates and you'll spend even more time with those you care about. Believe that people are doing the best with the current resources available to them. Stop wasting time judging your coworkers.
We come up with our best ideas not in offices, but while we take walks, go out on the lake for sales board meetings, and play ultimate Frisbee.
If you're depressed, stop thinking about yourself and go serve someone else. We become naturally upbeat, energized, and happy when we can see happiness radiating from another human being.
We suggest taking this one up and laughing to eliminate the pain.
Our receptionist rides a stationary bike so that she "could take a trip and never leave the farm," as she puts it. She travels a few miles each day while talking to our customers and greeting guests. She also eats fresh fruits and vegetables from her garden and walks a mile outside each day. She's the happiest person we know.
We're more likely to listen to music than meditate. We are passionately curious about life. Music lifts us up. We may be tech-geeks, but we can still rock and roll with the best of them.
Our energy is increased when we add a little gratitude to all that we do. We are elevated by the opportunity to serve, uplift, and support others.
Life gets better on the other side of 50.
As we mentioned, each of these ideas is actually supported by science. If you have the desire to see specifically how and why, you can see the research on each of these 11 elements (yes, we included a bonus).
Scientific data aside, when we look back on our lives, most of us remember the good things, and the tough parts fall away. We remember the friendships and the good we tried to do in the world. We realize there is no such thing as an ideal boss or a perfect company. We are all in the process of doing the best we can.
We are eager to hear your thoughts as well. What makes you happy? We welcome your additions and comments below.

Zero K
The Resource Zero K
The item Zero K represents a specific, individual, material embodiment of a distinct intellectual or artistic creation found in Des Moines Public Library.
DeLillo, Don
Sadoski, Thomas
A New York Times Notable Book A New York Times bestseller, "DeLillo's haunting new novel, Zero K—his most persuasive since his astonishing 1997 masterpiece, Underworld" (The New York Times), is a meditation on death and an embrace of life.Jeffrey Lockhart's father, Ross, is a billionaire in his sixties, with a younger wife, Artis Martineau, whose health is failing. Ross is the primary investor in a remote and secret compound where death is exquisitely controlled and bodies are preserved until a future time when biomedical advances and new technologies can return them to a life of transcendent promise. Jeff joins Ross and Artis at the compound to say "an uncertain farewell" to her as she surrenders her body. "We are born without choosing to be. Should we have to die in the same manner? Isn't it a human glory to refuse to accept a certain fate?" These are the questions that haunt the novel and its memorable characters, and it is Ross Lockhart, most particularly, who feels a deep need to enter another dimension and awake to a new world. For his son, this is indefensible. Jeff, the book's narrator, is committed to living, to experiencing "the mingled astonishments of our time, here, on earth." Don DeLillo's "daring...provocative...exquisite" (The Washington Post) new novel weighs the darkness of the world—terrorism, floods, fires, famine, plague—against the beauty and humanity of everyday life; love, awe, "the intimate touch of earth and sun." "One of the most mysterious, emotionally moving, and rewarding books of DeLillo's long career" (The New York Times Book Review), Zero K is a glorious, soulful novel from one of the great writers of our time

The resolution poster is an old piece of work, but I still like it. From my experience there is often greater scope for experimenting when creating work targeted at a young demographic. The Resolution poster allowed me to play with the idea of style over function. This can be seen in my typographic approach which isn't the most legible at first glance however I felt this suited the colloquial speak of the ad.

Winston Churchill's Name Replaced With Soccer Player On Historic Building
(PatrioticPost.com)- Winston Churchill, the former British Prime Minister who pioneered the war campaign against the Nazis in the 20th Century and is considered to be the man who won the Second World War, has been officially "canceled" by a British school.
The names of Winston Churchill and J.K. Rowling, the woman who wrote the wildly popular Harry Potter novel series, have been removed from a school's "House" names because they are both considered offensive.
The Belfast Telegraph reported how Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School in Richmond renamed the school Houses to promote diversity, replacing them with British footballer Marcus Rushford and nurse Mary Seacole.
A footballer instead of the man who defeated the Nazis? So much for being woke. Aren't they meant to hate Nazis?
A newsletter was issued by the school last month to explain the decision. Teachers and students were told that Churchill and Rowling were removed to be "more diverse."
"The children across school have been keen to change some of the names of the school houses to be more diverse," the notice said, "We are pleased to be able to announce the name changes during Black History Month. Churchill has been replaced by Rashford and Rowling by Seacole."
The headteacher of the school, Alison Bateman, said that students began thinking about changing their House names last year. Bateman even claimed that the students, who are under 10 years old, believed that the names didn't reflect the diverse community of the school.
Did the children think that, or did the teacher propose it and give the kids a challenge to find new names?
It's not the first time that Woke extremists have targeted Churchill. Only last year, Black Lives Matter radicals vandalized the statue of Winston Churchill outside the Palace of Westminster in London, branding Churchill as a racist.


"…Beautifully researched and unusually well written…The Girl of Two Worlds is a success on many levels. The plot carries a powerfully Pagan message of death and re-birth that repeats and resounds throughout. It tells a fascinating story, set in a time period that most people have never considered, let alone explored. It also addresses a range of controversial issues but doesn't let sentimentality get in the way of a cracking good read.

Britain has such an amazing history and much of it can still be seen, hiding in plain sight all around us.
