I got online tonight to try and find a web hosting service that supported my applications as a developer. I was dreading this because I could of sworn it would take all night to find the right company. However, to my delight I found several stackoverflow answers and both recommended Glowhost Hosting. I got on and found your site so easy to navigate and found everything I needed.
Their support was quick to get me taken care of and instead of redirecting me, created a custom link that got me set up in seconds.

Rejoice, the Netflix Wet Hot American Summer Series Is Happening
And why it could be better than ever as TV.
By Paul Schrodt
By this point we think it's safe to say that a new Wet Hot American Summer is indeed almost definitely coming to Netflix in the form of a miniseries. Sources have told E! News that the production is set to begin in January. David Wain, who directed the original 2001 comedy movie and is behind the reboot, discussed the concept with us this past summer before it was finalized, confirming that it is indeed a prequel:
"The actors were already anywhere from ten to 15 years too old in the first place when we shot it in 2000. So now they're 14 years older than that. You can all decide for yourself whether you think that's funny or not," Wain said.
We do think it's funny. And since Wet Hot American Summer is still the funniest thing Wain and his pals from The State have done since, well, The State, the anticipation for a WHAS prequel on Netflix is understandably gleeful. If you've never seen it, the film follows campers and counselors during the last day of summer camp in 1981 and is filled with comedians and actors who would soon become much more famous (Amy Poehler, Bradley Cooper). Its premise is basically designed for streamable TV in 2014.
We still don't know which cast members are signed on to the project, but this is something to watch out for regardless.

Nicolas Chaperon o Chapron (Châteaudun, 1612 - Lyon, 1656) fue un pintor, diseñador y grabador del clasicismo francés, dentro de la corriente llamada aticismo.

Fue bautizado el 19 de octubre de 1612 en la parroquia de San Pedro de Châteaudun, siendo su padre Jehan Chaperon, y su madre Marie Brissard.

Fue alumno de Simon Vouet y viajó a Roma de 1642 con Poussin. En 1649 grabó una serie completa (52 planchas) sobre los frescos de Rafael en las Loggias Vaticanas. Se cuenta que la realizó a petición de Poussin, quien respondía así a una sugerencia del rey de Francia. Estos grabados sirvieron de aprendizaje y ejemplo a los artistas franceses que no podían viajar a Roma para estudiar las pinturas originales.

Se cita por última vez a Chaperon en Roma, en el año 1651. En 1653-1655 los cónsules de Lyon quisieron adornar el ayuntamiento de su localidad y pidieron a Chaperon que regresase de Roma, pero éste no pudo realizar el trabajo. Algunas fuentes dicen que había fallecido antes de recibir el encargo, pero otras fuentes puntualizan que llegó a Lyon y que falleció allí poco después, en 1656.

Jim Fetzer's "9/11 Planes/No Planes and "Video Fakery"
9/11 Planes/No Planes and "Video Fakery" in Veterans Today
One of the commenters wrote:
But what happened to all the supposed passengers that died on those planes? Where are they now? · · 9 hours ago
James Henry Fetzer · Top Commenter · Works at McKnight Professor Emeritus, UMD Since the flights were faked, the passengers–for the most part–were probably faked, too. But those who are willing to murder 3,000 in New York are not going to hesitate to take out a handful more to create the pathos that you describe. These questions will be addressed by Dean Hartwell, author of PLANES WITHOUT PASSENGERS, during The Vancouver Hearings, http://www911vancouverhearings.com/.
Recall, Pilots has determined that Flights 93 and 175 WERE IN THE AIR AT THE TIMES OF THEIR PURPORTED CRASH. Presumably, they had some passengers aboard. When you think of them as disposable props, the whole scenario becomes even more chilling. They may have been offloaded and then permanently eliminated, where their bodies might even have been used as proof of those crashes. · · about an hour ago
The Greatest Lesson We Should Learn from 9/11
_ We should learn how easily the public can be convinced of something that touches them emotionally. Almost everyone on September 11, 2001 reported the same sense of shock about the attacks, the same sense of sadness about the victims and the same sense of anger toward the perpetrators.
We should know by now to be careful to guard our judgments about events in which our leaders may well have reason to mislead us. Recent history has shown us a number of official lies, for example, President Lyndon Johnson's acceptance of Israel's explanation that it made a "mistake" in bombing the U.S.S. Liberty in 1967, President Reagan's insistence that "we did not -- repeat did not -- trade weapons or anything else for hostages nor will we" and President George W. Bush's persistent claim of "weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq.
We should learn the value in deciding for ourselves how to respond to false statements made by our leaders and to reason to what extent it matters. The key is to understand why the lie is told.
President Johnson did not want to alienate the strong pro-Israeli support he had by publicly accusing Israel of acting with knowledge that it struck a United States ship. President Reagan likely could not believe that people in his Administration would resort to a wild ploy of selling weapons to the Ayatollah in Iran. President Bush wanted a war with Iraq and was willing to sell the idea with lies.
So why did our leaders lie about the events of 9/11?
One need only to look at the consequences of each lie told.
The naming of Osama bin Laden as the leader of the attacks gave our leaders a scapegoat that the public could focus on instead of upon our government.
The allegations of hijackers taking over airplanes and crashing them allowed our leaders to portray the attacks in an emotional, even numbing way.
The identification of passengers with their pictures convinced the public that people really died in airplane crashes. It was again the use of emotion over facts, facts that could not support commercial airplane crashes.
The story itself serves as a psychological operation to instill fear in the public about something almost all of us have done: take an airplane flight.
The greatest lesson of all is the awareness that anything could happen in the future and that we will not likely receive any warning that our leaders are lying to us. Our greatest gift to ourselves and to others is our ability to think for ourselves.
9/11 as a Movie: Introduction to Understanding the Planes and Passengers
_ When does a current event become history?
I used to think something became history when I would see a movie about it. But with 9/11 I realize I had it wrong…
The events of 9/11 have always been best understood as a movie. The official sources gave us the story complete with the villain, Osama bin Laden, the plot, "the bad guys are about to destroy our freedoms," the heroes, the passengers of United 93 who "fought back," a battle cry "Let's Roll!" and even an appeal to action, "Get them over there before they get us here (again)!"
My focus is on the planes and passengers. The official story tells us that they perished in plane crashes engineered by nineteen radical hijackers acting under bin Laden's orders. They were the supporting cast in that the official story is supported by the presence of the planes and passengers and the actions, namely phone calls, of the passengers.
The mainstream media, speaking for our leaders, persuaded us to assume that passengers lined up in front of boarding gates, got on these flights and went on to become the first victims in the "War on Terror." They persuaded us to assume that all passengers died at the scene of the "crashes" in New York, the Pentagon and Pennsylvania and that we should mourn their losses.
But no one forced us to make these assumptions.
Letting go of assumptions can lead to discovering facts, and even the most relevant ones at that. Instead of starting the story of the supposedly two hundred plus passengers boarding planes at Boston, Dulles and Newark airports, let's start the story somewhere else.
Let's try the Midwestern United States...
Editor's Note: Dean Hartwell will speak further on this topic at the Vancouver Hearings in June.

An off-duty police officer pulled her from the car, and Parry, who was banned from the road at the time, told him she had drunk a bottle of wine and "shouldn't be driving", Prosecutor Tim Sapwell said.
She was handeda three-month suspended sentence by Judge Sarah Buckingham, who said "if Miss Parry was a man, there is no question it would have been straight down the stairs".
Despite this, she did not elaborate or give any further reasoning as to why she would be spared for being female.
The judge added: "This is a shocking case of dangerous driving against a background of two previous convictions for excess alcohol.
"But this offence was committed in May 2018 and she has not been in trouble since.
"She has clearly got an alcohol problem. She is, whether she admits it or not, an alcoholic."
She ordered Parry to abstain from alcohol, attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, and pay for private counselling. If Parry complied, she said, the custody would not be made immediate.
"If you don't comply, I will conclude that you are not worthy of the chance," the judge added.

Q: How to cast to a user defined type in postgresql I have to create a table with some user defined types and insert data.
I tried this way.

*

*create type type1 as (i int);

*create function mycast(int) returns type1 as 'select $1;' language 'sql';

*create cast (int as type1) with function mycast(int) as implicit;

*create table table_type(t type1);

*insert into table_type values(1::type1);

Now the values are getting inserted but wrapped in parenthesis, like this
select * from table_type;

  t
--------
 (1)

(1 rows)

I believe there might be an error in my function. Can someone help. I wanted basically a function that returns the same output as my input (without any () ).
Thanks.

A: The type you defined is a composite type containing one attribute of type int.  The text representation of a composite type is parentheses around the attribute list.  But judging from your cast function (which is broken, because it returns a scalar and not a composite type), this isn't what you want at all.  The best you could do is to define a domain like this:
create domain type1 as int;

Then you don't even need a cast.

Baeren Apple Lager is a 5% fruit beer from Baeren Beer, based in Iwate, Japan. It's part of their autumn line up and can be found in both bottles and on tap across Japan. Baeren Apple Lager is brewed using locally sourced Iwate apples of the Sansa variety. A little known fact is Iwate is the third largest producer of apples in Japan behind Aomori and Nagano. Apples. Lots of them in Japan so why not make cider with them? Well Baeren do make a cider, though at the time of writing we're yet to try it (nudge nudge wink wink). To be honest, the ciders I've had in Japan (not the lemonade kind!) have been pretty poor so I'm loathed to try it.
It was much clearer than this picture suggests.
Baeren Apple Lager poured out slightly hazy golden colour with a bright white head on top that came out and then collapsed as soon as I had turned around after taking this picture. There was also some brownish grey blobs floating around in the glass, which I assumed was sediment in the form of yeast from the bottle. Not the most appetising of sights as there was nothing on the label about Baeren Apple Lager being bottle conditioned. It had a slight apple-like aroma with a hint of booziness when it had warmed up, along with a strong malt caramel-like aroma as well – almost as if someone had put some apple juice into a lager beer.
While Baeren Apple Lager was crisp and dry in the body, the apple flavour was muted compared to the malty caramel flavour going on. It seems weird to put a fruit with complimenting flavours, such as apples, into a beer when it will be dominated by other flavours. There was a hint of floral hops as well but by that time, Baeren Apple Lager had been forgotten and drunk and the next beer ready for drinking.
Baeren Apple Lager isn't a waste of apples or malt as it is drinkable, but it is simply too bland and boring to get excited about.

Since VI century east-Slavic tribe of Dregovichy has been settling along the river Pripyat. They chose Turov as their centre. It united waterways from Baltic and Black seas, from Polotsk and Volyn principalities, from capital Kiev. After Polotsk Turov was the second centre of Old Slavic State system and culture in Belarus. In X – XII centuries in accordance with level of State system and enlightenment Turov didn't yield to Novgorod and Kiev. As many historians assume, in 1005 one of the first Orthodox episcopacies in Old Russia arose exactly here. The Turov Gospel of XI century is one of the most valuable monuments of Old Russian written language. In XII century bishop of Turov, preacher, theologian, poet and orator Saint Cyril lived and created in Turov. Turov is a spiritual relic of the whole east Slavdom. In "Nestor's chronicles" the oldest Russian chronicle it was mentioned 28 times, that undoubtedly says about its historical importance.
The sights: Castle's place (found during archaeological excavations cultural layer reflects Turov's history of XI – XIII centuries); church of the whole Saints (monument of wooden architecture of the beginning of XIX century); marvel cross (growing from under the land on cemetery of Boris - Gleb); monument of Cyril of Turov (placed in 1993); museum of local lore; museum of nature of National Park "Pripyatsky"; walks by motor ships on Pripyat.

NBA Refuses To Condemn China Amid Reports of Abuse in NBA China Academies
By Michael Austin July 29, 2020 at 6:11pm
According to an ESPN report released on Wednesday, the NBA's China academies are abusing young players.
The article also alleges that the NBA had been warned of the abuses. The NBA reportedly told coaches not to comment on China for the story.
Since late last year, the NBA has been quiet about its controversial relationship with China, refusing to openly condemn many of the human rights abuses that the Chinese government continues to inflict on its people.
Props to ESPN for covering all this. NBA's refusal to condemn China at all is glaring. Even in this story when confronted with horrific human rights abuses NBA dodged any criticism of China. League is full of hypocrites.
— Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) July 29, 2020
According to ESPN, American coaches from three NBA training academies in China told NBA officials that the league's Chinese partners were physically abusing young players and refusing to provide education, despite the fact that NBA commissioner Adam Silver had said education would be central to their program.
One of the American coaches went as far as to describe the project was "a sweat camp for athletes."
"Imagine you have a kid who's 13, 14 years old, and you've got a grown coach who is 40 years old hitting your kid," another coach said.
"We're part of that. The NBA is part of that."
Should the NBA shut down its China academies?
No: 1% (3 Votes)
Multiple coaches made complaints about the abuses to the league's vice president for international operations in China, Greg Stolt, as well as various other league officials.
NBA deputy commissioner and chief operating officer Mark Tatum told ESPN that the league had received "a handful" of complaints regarding the mistreatment of young Chinese players, which prompted the NBA to warn Chinese local authorities that the league had "zero tolerance" for such behavior.
Perhaps the most troubling of all of the NBA China camps was the camp in Xinjiang, a police state located in western China.
The Xinjiang region is known for its Uighur population. China is currently enacting a cultural genocide of the Uighurs, a majority Muslim ethnic minority in China.
Multiple reports indicate that the Uighurs in China are undergoing forced sterilization in order to limit their population growth.

Uighurs are also being captured and transported to labor camps. A recently unearthed video originally released in September 2019 revealed large groups of Uighurs, blindfolded and bound, being marched onto train cars.

The majority of players in the NBA's Xinjiang academy were Uighurs.
ESPN reports that multiple coaches were frequently harassed and surveilled in the Xinjiang region, with one coach describing the atmosphere as akin to "World War II Germany."
Corbin Loubert, an NBA strength coach who worked in Xinjiang last fall, confirmed that reports of discrimination and harassment were true in a tweet responding to a CNN story.
It was a challenging year for many reasons, but one of the biggest challenges was not only the discrimination and harassment I faced, but turning a blind eye to the discrimination and harassment that the Uyghur people around me faced.
— Corbin Loubert (@CLoubert01) May 10, 2019
"I spent the past year living in Xinjiang, and can confirm every word of this piece is true," Loubert tweeted.
In a June 30 letter, Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee questioned the NBA about its relationship with China, specifically mentioning the treatment of Uighurs in Xinjiang. Tatum responded to Blackburn with a letter on July 21 announcing that the NBA had discontinued the Xinjiang academy.
Despite harsh criticism for several months now, the NBA has decided to remain silent on its controversial relationship with China.
In a July 10 letter, Republican Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri criticized the NBA's July 3 decision to allow players to wear certain social and political messages on their jerseys in support of movements like Black Lives Matter, especially considering the league's unwillingness to call out the Chinese government.
"On July 3, the National Basketball Association (NBA) came to an agreement with the NBA players union allowing players to wear certain social and political messages on their jerseys, almost all aligned with the message of recent anti-police protests," Hawley wrote.
"Conspicuously missing from the list of approved phrases are any in support of the victims of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), including the people of Hong Kong, whose remaining freedoms are being extinguished by the CCP's newly-enacted national security law. Given the NBA's troubled history of excusing and apologizing for the brutal repression of the Chinese Communist regime, these omissions are striking."
Hawley then demanded that the NBA answer a series of questions, including —
Are public reports correct that the list of phrases approved for display on NBA players' jerseys does not include messages in support of victims of the Chinese Communist Party?
If a player chooses to display a message of support for victims of the Chinese Community Party on their jersey, will the NBA allow the player to wear their jersey or will it censor that player in order to avoid drawing Beijing's ire?
How does the NBA plan to defend NBA players and employees against retaliation by the Chinese Communist Party if they choose to speak out against the Party's actions in Hong Kong, Xinjiang, or elsewhere?
Is the NBA prepared to publicly condemn any attempt by the Chinese Communist Party to silence or punish these individuals?
On Wednesday, the same day that ESPN released its report of various abuses in the NBA's Chinese academies, the league responded to Hawley by confirming that only a select few social justice messages were allowed, one of which is "Black Lives Matter."
.@NBA finally replies to me. Won't criticize #China and won't commit to protecting employees who criticize #China. Says it's all "hypothetical." Uh, remember Daryl Morey? pic.twitter.com/BaUNEtaTaw
— Josh Hawley (@HawleyMO) July 29, 2020
In response to Hawley's question about the league defending its players, the NBA replied by saying, "We are respectfully unable to respond to this hypothetical question."

This petite vintage/antique washstand has been in multiple places of my home and currently holds board games. Recently I was planning on selling it, but just could not get the nerve to give it up and I would have to find a new home for all the board games if that happened too. Well since Ethans room was in need of a nightstand, I thought this would make the perfect one. Plus, I didn't have to look directly at it everyday.
The washstand fits nicely in the space, nestled between the window wall and the bed. When I first placed it in the bedroom, the top felt empty so I brought over the map print from my bedroom. I think it gives it the touch it needed. Not sure if I will hang it or leave it as it is. When I was placing the washstand it in Ethan's room I realized the washstand would have made a perfect changing station for me when Ethan was a baby. Darn-it I missed a stylish opportunity.
Having the board games in Ethan's room kinda makes sense, since half the games are his and he was always in and out of the washstand when it was in my bedroom.

Weathercatch: Rare pre-Thanksgiving blizzard struck Inland Northwest in 2010

A blizzard warning issued in November is unusual in itself. Add the early timing to the Spokane region, and it's plain rare. Yet that's just what happened 11 years ago this week as a poorly timed storm system approached the Pacific Northwest just a few days before Thanksgiving and the busiest travel time of the year.

In 2010, the National Weather Service told people to prepare for a blizzard on Monday, Nov. 22, through the next day. It was the first blizzard warning the Spokane office had issued since opening in the mid-90s, meteorologist Mike Fries told the Associated Press.

A storm system packing strong winds, snow and cold temperatures was expected to hit parts of Eastern Washington and the Idaho Panhandle, Fries explained, and it was the intensity and duration of winds that would elevate the storm to a blizzard.

In fact, although many people associate blizzards with the accumulation of heavy snowfall, it's more about high winds and low visibility due to blowing snow. The weather service defines a blizzard as a combination of high winds with snow or blowing snow that reduces visibility to less than ¼ mile for at least three hours.

Which is just what happened Nov. 22-23, 2010. Wind-whipped snow created dicey road conditions, delayed flights and caused many schools to close.

Snowfall amounts ranged from 3 inches near Wenatchee to upward of 7.5 inches in Spokane. Even Yakima – nicknamed the Palm Springs of Washington – got a 5-inch heaping.

All the while, winds howled with gusts higher than 40 mph in some locations. The resulting snow drifts, low visibility and car wrecks caused temporary road closures, including a 26-mile stretch of Highway 27 from Spokane to Whitman county. In Waterville, located 135 miles west of Spokane, winds reportedly blew snow sideways, burying parked and stranded cars in blankets of white.

By the time snowfall stopped on Nov. 23, temperatures ran 34 degrees below normal for that date. Two days before Thanksgiving, the high temperature in Spokane made it to only 11 degrees, and the low dipped to a frigid minus-10 degrees.

Snow, high winds and extreme cold don't typically occur at the same time in our region – especially when it's autumn, not winter. And while the Inland Northwest is no stranger to snowstorms, blizzards are another story.

The Great Plains and Upper Midwest are the most common locations for blizzards to occur in the United States, according to the National Weather Service. So what happened here?

The stage was set for a blizzard when a mass of Arctic air plunged southward into Washington and clashed with a surface low pressure system packed with warm, moist air off the coast. The winds were due in large part to the stark difference between the low pressure of warmer air and the high pressure of bitter-cold air. Also, as moisture from the coast collided with cold air from the north, precipitation fell as snow instead of rain when the storm system moved inland. (A record-setting 2.5 inches of snow fell in Seattle, bringing the city to a near standstill with people stuck in traffic for five hours.)

Fortunately, weather conditions leading to this Thanksgiving are more tranquil. No extremes are forecast for our region so far this week. We'll see some clouds and a light mix of rain and snow, but no snowstorms, blustery winds or black ice on roadways.

Considering that Thanksgiving travel is up 13% over last year, according to AAA, Mother Nature has dished out a kind deed.

Rather than first giving an explanation and (where relevant) an example or two, teachers sometimes ask CCQs as soon as an item has come up in a reading or listening text. This often seems to stem from a desire to avoid teacher talking time and to be what is perceived as 'student-centred', but there's little point trying to check whether or not students understand an item they've just asked about – and even if you believe CCQs might be effective with a particular item, there needs to have first been a 'concept' that is then checked.
It might well be argued that the above is simply an example of poorly-timed CCQs. However, when asked after an explanation has been given, CCQs seem oddly redundant and run the risk of being patronizing. Imagine you've just explained that if you feel disappointed, you feel unhappy because something you hoped for or expected didn't happen . . . or because something wasn't as good as you expected. You'd maybe even written on the board I was really disappointed when I found out I hadn't got the job. To then ask something like Did you expect something good? (Yes) and Did you get it? (No) seems to be laboring the obvious somewhat!
The fundamental problem with CCQs when applied to vocabulary is that they only serve as a simplistic check of very basic 'concepts' or meanings, and yet meaning is actually the easiest part of what students need to know about new items to convey. Meaning can be conveyed through translating, telling a short story to paraphrase and explain, using visuals, acting, pointing to the thing in question, etc. Far more problematic for learners is the way the item is used: the common collocations, the co-text that may frequently be used in discourse that the item appears in, the colligations – the grammatical patterns that attach themselves to the word, etc. CCQs do nothing to explore these areas.
Finally, the continuing use of CCQs and their dissemination through courses such as the CELTA reflect a worrying tendency to view lexical sets or items of vocabulary as things that must be handed to students via the same kind of PPP (Present-Practise-Produce) approach as structural grammar. The assumption is that we are presenting these items once, that we have to check the meaning – or 'concept' – of each and every item is checked and we then need to see some kind of active production of the items to convince us that 'learning' has taken place.
Now, it's easy to knock, and judging from many of the responses to the first post that I read on Facebook, there are plenty of people out there for whom CCQs are still a key part of their practice when it comes to dealing with vocabulary and who reacted to the (tongue in cheek!) idea of a 'ban' on them with a mixture of horror and anger! Given this, it's only fair of me to lay out how I think we could better deal with vocabulary, both as it comes up incidentally and as it appears in actual exercises. The first thing to say is that I'm NOT saying we should do away with questions altogether! Quite the opposite, in fact. It's just that I believe there are questions we can ask that are far more engaging, focused and productive than closed CCQs.
Let's go back to the two examples I cited in the first post: in the first, it's an Intermediate-level class and the students are reading a text. An arm goes up and someone asks what the word abandoned means. Now, at this level, I'd personally see this as something not worth spending a massive amount of time on. I'd simply explain it in the context it was encountered in and say, for example, an abandoned building is one that has been left and is no longer used. I might then write an abandoned building on the board and possibly ask what else we might describe as abandoned and add / reject student suggestions accordingly. We might then end up with something like this on the board: an abandoned building / car / baby / pet.
Now, I wouldn't then assume that this meant everyone in the class had somehow learned this time and I certainly wouldn't expect productive use yet. Instead, I'd see the students' knowledge of the word as both provisional and developing, and I'd expect the word to appear again at a later date in their reading, in class material, in my own teacher talk, etc. I might also make a conscious effort to recycle the word through a revision activity in a subsequent lesson. So maybe I'd put students in pairs and have them attempt to elicit words from each other, and abandoned would be one. Or I might give 15 sentences with gaps in them and ask students in pairs to add as many missing words as they can, so they'd see something like this: The fire started in an old a……………. warehouse that hadn't been in use for years. After that, they may then discuss which 3 words from the exercise they most wanted to remember. In other words, I'd assume – and ensure, as far as possible – repeat encounters.
Of course, you might decide that a word like abandoned is worth exploring in a bit depth and deserves more than just a brief explanation and a look at a couple of extra collocates. In this case, well-crafted questions can help you get at the more interesting of usage such as better examples, co-text, and so on. At the same time, they also ensure that meaning is being checked in a far more involving way than closed CCQs. You could, for instance, explain what an abandoned building is, add another collocate or two and then ask why a building (or a car . . . or a child) might be abandoned. Just stop and think of possible answers to these stories. They might involve having to flee a country or economic collapse, a disastrous journey where an old motor decided to die in the middle of nowhere or a teenage mother too terrified to have admitted being pregnant to her parents. One things' for sure: such questions allow far more space for students; they ensure the new items are connected to real-world events and also to previously taught grammar and lexis; they allow the possibility of genuine stories emerging in response; and on top of all that, they give the teacher the chance to teach new (connected) language that students are edging towards, but don't yet know.
Finally, let's look at the banana situation mentioned in the first post: you're in a low-level class and the word banana comes up. Now, at this level, I'd expect that it comes up because it's in an exercise. If that's the case, let the exercise do the work here. Point to the picture in the book the word should be matched to. Or get a picture of one on your phone. Or translate it into L1. Or ask for a translation from the group. Or explain that it's a fruit, it's yellow, you peel it, and eat it. It's soft. And sweet. Mime peeling and eating one. Then move on.
Not every item has to be checked or expanded on. Not every item has to be practised. You may, as noted above, want to come back to the word during some revision. You may simply ask who likes bananas – and if someone doesn't, ask what's not to like? The task itself may require students to ask each other which fruits / foods they (don't) like so there may be time later on to check how well the class have grasped the new word.
It's sometimes claimed that asking questions keeps the learners engaged during the clarification stage of lessons. To assume this means that all questions engage – and engage equally – is to think insufficiently about the possible answers that questions open up, and the possible benefits of such openings. And to insist that CCQs are worthy of continued inclusion in training sessions on vocabulary is not only to fail to do this, but also to limit the time available for exploring the wealth of other questions that could transform the learning experience.
Ban CCQs from now on!
Next week I may well do a third and final part looking at more specific examples, so if you have any CCQs you often use with items of vocabulary that you'd like further thoughts on, please do outline them in the comments section below.
Want to think more about your teaching? Take a summer school course with Lexical Lab in London.
As I teach monolingual classes, whenever I want to check concept understanding, I just ask students for equivalents in their first language, then I elicit some examples from them. At this point, learners may use the words in the same way in their mother tongue, I take this opportunity to clarify differences in use in English and their first language.
Thanks for taking the time to read the post and to comment. As you'll have seen, we feel using translation to quickly check the basic meaning is very sensible. Then, where appropriate, go on to spend a bit more time looking at the way the word / item is often used, give some whole-sentence examples, point out differences in the collocations and grammatical patterns the word may be used with in English compared to L1, etc. I still think, though, it's better to give students one or two examples before asking them to add to the examples. It's optimistic to expect them to come up with good examples for items they've only just met.

Building AGU: Achieving Sustainability and Leading by Example
June 13, 2019 / Admin
Guest blog written By Chris McEntee, Executive Director/CEO at AGU
AGU is a global community of 60,000 Earth and space scientists. They are celebrating their Centennial year reflecting on past accomplishments and looking to the future to transform and improve our world.
This drove AGU's decision to renovate its headquarters building in Washington, D.C. When AGU's original building and infrastructure began to show its age, a course of action that aligned with AGU's science and values was a priority. The AGU community decided to take advantage of this opportunity to make the building a living representation of the organization's mission of science for the benefit of humanity. The way to do that was to strive for net zero energy.
As construction winds down, AGU is already seeing the benefit of this decision—not just for staff and the community, but for our neighborhood, the city, and the country. AGU's building is the first net zero energy commercial renovation in the District of Columbia. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser signed historic legislation at AGU's headquarters, making Washington a leader in shifting to clean energy sources. AGU was also honored this spring with the city's first Clean Energy D.C. Award.
These notable achievements were made possible by the support AGU received from our city, project partners, water utility, engineers, architects, and policy makers. By focusing on four engineering principles—reduction, reclamation, absorption, and generation—AGU was able to target net zero energy.
For reduction, AGU looked to reuse and recycle as much material as possible during the demolition and renovation stages. Windows, sinks—and yes, even toilets—[SH1] [LF2] [LF3] from the original building didn't go to waste. Instead, they were crushed up and utilized in the renovated building's terrazzo flooring. In addition, we are reducing our overall energy demand through the use of efficient systems and equipment, such as installing LED light bulbs and Energy Star appliances. AGU will also monitor the energy usage of individual workstations to ensure we stay within our energy budget.
AGU also looked at ways to reclaim energy and water. We have a Dedicated Outdoor Air System and a hydroponic phytoremediation (green wall) to enable us to recover conditioned air for free cooling. Through our rainwater collection and cistern systems, we reclaim water for irrigating the green wall and flushing toilets.
AGU literally broke ground to absorb energy from surrounding resources. Our team thought outside the box and proposed utilizing a municipal sewer heat exchange system to help reduce AGU's carbon footprint. AGU installed a Huber system, the first of its kind in the United States, to tap into the city's sewer. This sewer heat exchange system extracts material from the sewer, screens the solids, and then pumps the liquid into the building to provide cooling and heating.
Once installed, AGU's photovoltaic (PV) array will generate electricity to power everything from the building's LED lights to computer monitors and workstations. AGU has been able to target net zero energy while located on a tight urban footprint by generating electricity through the installation of more than 700 solar panels. Most of the panels will be installed flat on top of the roof canopy, with approximately 20 more panels vertically mounted on the south wall of the building.
As a trailblazer, AGU faced some challenges during the renovation process. For example, to truly maximize the number of solar panels we could install on the building, we needed to extend the PV array beyond our property line. Fortunately, we were able to work closely with partners in the D.C. government and they gave us the right to expand our solar canopy structure over the line.These are just a few highlights of AGU's key strategies. More strategies were implemented in AGU's renovation project. I encourage communities, local leaders, policy makers, and building owners, as well as members of the broader building industry, to support and embrace these strategies. Even if they each undertake just one key strategy that AGU has employed, those combined efforts can have a huge impact on creating a more sustainable future for us all.

Zulu Alpha talked up for Pegasus defence
Owner Michael Hui is upbeat on the chances of Zula Alpha defending his crown in the Pegasus World Cup Turf Invitational to kick-start 2021.
The Mike Maker-trained seven-year-old is recovering from a minor setback that forced him to miss the Breeders' Cup Turf at Keeneland this month.
He's expected to be back in work at Maker's yard come the second week of December as preparations begin for the January 23 Gulfstream Park contest.
Hui admits there was an enormous sense of disappointment when the phone call came to say Zula Alpha wouldn't be heading to the Breeders' Cup Turf. He had finished fourth in the 2019 renewal at Santa Anita and connections were confident he's excel at Keeneland, a track where he had won before.
"You could have heard a pin drop when I answered [the call]," Hui said, "because he didn't speak for a few seconds.
"He was ready. He was kind of a horse for that course," Hui added. "I was confident we were going to improve on our fourth-place finish the previous year, Europeans or no Europeans. It was in Mike Maker's back yard."
The setback – which Maker believes came when Zula Alpha "bumped it somewhere" – resulted in slight swelling above Zulu Alpha's left front ankle and required only time and rest to overcome. He has been given that over the last month and will return to Maker's South Florida base in December to prepare for the $1m Pegasus Turf.
The son of seven-time graded-stakes winner Street Cry has a formidable record on the turf track at Gulfstream, with four wins in six starts. He went into last year's race off a similar absence and boasts a strong CV for the 2021 renewal as the winner of 12 races in 35 career starts, with five runner-up finishes and six third-place efforts, ensuring he boasts $2,260,114 in earnings.
While all roads are leading towards a positive start to the New Year, owner Hui says no time will be wasted in retiring Zula Alpha if there are early signs that he doesn't retain his racing desire as an eight-year-old. He will dine at the top level or enjoy his retirement.
"If he's not competitive in graded stakes, he's going to be retired," the owner said. "He's taken very good care of us. We're going to take very good care of him."
If Zula Alpha can retain his crown, he'll become the first back-to-back winner of the Pegasus World Cup Turf since its inception in 1986, while joining Einstein (2006 & 2008) as just the second repeat winner of the one-mile-one-furlong contest.

MITCHEL EVAN Releases New Single, "Las Cruces"
February 3, 2020 Antoinette Christian Off Bands, Folk, Genre, Singles, Video,
Richmond, VA Americana Singer / Songwriter MITCHEL EVAN has released his new single, "Las Cruces," via The Label Group / INgrooves.
"Las Cruces was written as a response to a not-so-civil band break up. I fronted this band for a couple years called Mitchel Evan & The Mangrove based out of Colorado. Towards the end we had some pretty major creative and personal differences and there was a lot of resentment on both sides. I had just got out of a long term romantic relationship as well, so when the band broke up I started performing and touring solo for the first time. So the premise of Las Cruces is more or less a "F*ck you, I'm going on the road" sort of thing. It's mostly angry but also confident, empowering and has a sense of freedom as well." – Mitchel Evam

Talk about a loaded list. Considering most teams have at least 4 right handed starters, the minors are full of them, and these are all the guys who will last as a starter. But this list isn't just starters, but future aces. The guys given the ball in a winner-takes-all game. The Opening Day starter, the Cy Young winner, the strikeout king.
Some RHP prospects that just missed our top 20 list are the Orioles' Dwight Hanson, the Twins' Paul Hale and Hunter Greene and the Astros' Anthony Richardson.
A 19-year-old who hits 99 MPH on the gun, and shows elite stuff with 4 pitches. There's nothing else you can ask for. Richardson does need to work on commanding his pitches more, but he could be a really quick riser through the Rays' system, especially if his splitter and slider are as deadly as they looked in Rookie ball last season.
Butler is quite close to big league ready, but doesn't have the star potential all the other players on this list does. He relies heavily on his slider, and without overwhelming velocity or any wipeout pitches, he needs elite control to continue his success. If his sinker becomes a pitch he can rely on more, then he will see greater success. Either way, we may see him in the Majors this league.
Helms has elite velocity and a banger of a curveball, which makes up for his current lack of a third pitch and poor control. He throws a 2-seam that helps in his creation of weak contact, but when he gets ahead in counts, he can still go for strikeouts. He's also shown the ability to last deep into games and throughout the season, which will be vital throughout his career. He needs to prove himself more in AA to show he could become an ace, but his electrifying stuff gives you plenty to be excited about.
Fernández is likely going to be in the White Sox rotation within a month. He is ready, and has proven himself. He currently has a repertoire of 5 pitches, all plus offerings, although his changeup is his bread & butter. He relies on changing speeds and painting corners, but he also knows how to last late into a game, retaining his velocity and even having another gear when he needs some giddy-up on his fastball. He'll be exciting to watch in Chicago this season.
Watts has the chance to be dominant, we just haven't gotten to see it in the minors over a whole season. He was out for close to 6 months last season, limited to just 13 starts. He looks to be slated as the #5 in the Marlins staff, which could make them one of the best rotations in the league. He has 4 plus-plus pitches, including a beautiful cutter that he controls with precision. He pairs it with a slurve and a changeup that are among the best of any starting pitcher in the big leagues currently. If he stays healthy, he will be in the running for NL Rookie of the Year.
Stephens made his ML debut last season, going 3.2 innings with 4 home runs allowed. He then spent his whole offseason at Driveline, working on pitch design for his slider and splitter, which have become his two favorite secondary pitches. Which is scary because he's said he plans to go back next offseason to work on his curveball and changeup, giving him many pitches that he can sequence and tunnel. He'll be fun to watch this season, as he uses these secondary offerings and his plus control to handle the AL Central.
If Cartwright stays healthy, he will be another elite pitcher that is stuck in the confines of Coors. It's a big if though, as he's had injury problems through college, and already a major injury in pro ball. He chucks a cool 98 MPH, which he pairs with a splitter with a spin rate well below 1000 RPM. For shits and giggles, he decided he'd try his hand at a cutter, which has shown success in limited offerings. Then he has a curveball and slider which both have big movement, but need refinement before they become elite secondary pitches. He'll need to prove himself in full season, but he should be fun to watch as he dominates in the California League.
Mass has some late movement on his pitches, and throws everything going different ways. His 2-seam pairs with his cutter, while his curveball is more like a small depth slide piece, which he pairs with his changeup to keep hitters always guessing. He's likely in the bigs this season, which makes sense after a solid season in AAA last season. He'll never be the star people want, but he's going to have great success by being a pitcher, not a thrower.
Bold prediction: Oakland will be good, and soon. Add Landoni to the list of guys who will simply produce when they gets to the Majors. He has a simple 3-pitch offering, without overpowering velocity, but everything works so well together, and he never misses his spots. He's not going to be an ace for them, but he's just going to get results, with very few bad outings, if any.
If I had to put money on who on this list would win a Cy Young award, I would take whatever odds they give Jiménez. He's 19 years, throwing 98 MPH with late life. He's got a cutter, a big curveball and a tight slider. He needs to harness it all in, but he's pitched just 85.2 innings of regular season ball, and hasn't even sniffed full season yet. He's going to be scary as he continues his development, especially if he adds a changeup.
Want the write-up on Rosado? 100 MPH. There you go. That's all you need to know. But while you're here, he also throws a nasty splitter and a sweet little slider to throw off the timing of hitters. His fastball also has late drive towards the ground, like a turbo-sinker, which makes it nearly impossible to piece up.
Likelihood that Mize gets to play in Toronto? High, but with another team. He will be traded, which makes it scary to think what the Blue Jays may get in return for such an elite pitching prospect. He has the ability to induce weak contact, get strikeouts and avoid walks, all while going late into games. He may never be the ace that gets the stardom and pitches in must-win games, but he will be a #2 that you can count on to be steady.
English throws a turbo sinker with a changeup that's a pairing very few professional hitters can hit. He still needs to add something with break to his repertoire, and they may never come, which could limit him to relief, but he's be a superstar there if that's the case.
With huge movement and elite velocity, Espinosa has the makings of a very fine starter. He does not give up extra base hits, and does not walk hitters, which helps him keep runs off the board. He has been working on refining his breaking balls, as they almost have too much movement currently. He'll be in full season for the entire year, which is where he has to prove himself.
Hunter relies on his pitchability to be elite, with a delivery that creates lots of deception. He has a big curveball and a splitter that's developing still, but he pairs it well with a fastball with good arm side run, and he controls all of his pitches with solid precision.
Grier was a high draft pick due to his big arm and 4 pitch repertoire. His cutter and slider are similar, which allows him to pair them together to generate swings & misses. He also gets lots of love for his elite control, which will help him jump the ranks in the Marlins system quickly.
Rainey has some elite velocity, 6 pitches and great control. While he was only okay in his debut last season, he's seen by many as a future ace who relies on a cutter-slider-forkball repertoire, which gives him a look most hitters haven't seen. He also has a quicky delivery, with big shoulder tilt, drops his throwing hand straight down when he breaks for his drive to the plate, and keeps his whole leg straight when kicking. It creates incredible deception that makes his stuff play up more than it should by just watching him pitch.
Ace. Ace. Ace. Ace. Ace. 5 plus-plus offerings, including one of the best curveballs we've seen in years. A cutter and a sinker with solid control over both, and a changeup that buckles hitters' knees. He only gets groundballs and strikeouts it seems, and he adds to it all, a body that projects added velocity.
Magana is ready to win the NL Cy Young. Like this season. He got his feet wet last year, and had the offseason to improve. He has elite velocity, great command, and several offspeed pitches that keep hitters' timing off. His fastball also has late life, making him a groundball machine.
Rod has crazy movement on his sinker, throwing a heavy ball that pairs well with his slider and he also has a great 12-6 curveball. He doesn't have elite velocity, but his movement and his ability to command his pitches to all parts of the plate make him even better, especially if he learns to add velocity to his already large frame.
