Johnny Flynn And The Sussex Wit have announced Live At The Roundhouse, to be released on double CD and triple vinyl, via Transgressive Records on 30th November
Live At The Roundhouse is an electric performance of ten years' worth of songs; recorded without overdubs, it pays homage to the past whilst pointing propitiously to the group's future
Today's album announcement is accompanied by the release of the live version of The Night My Piano Upped And Died, captured from this magical evening. The visual for the release has been designed by Joe Zeitlin and Hanna-Katrina Jedrosz, originally used as the backdrop for the performance…
Johnny, reflecting on the performance and release, states: "On 17 October 2017 we played a gig at The Roundhouse in Camden. It marked the end of a period of touring, following the release of 'Sillion' earlier in the year. The show happened around the ten-year-anniversary of recording our first album 'A Larum'. It felt like a special night in lots of ways, but mostly because all our best beloveds were there and we were able to celebrate our friendship as a band and the music we have been making since those early days in the backrooms of pubs and flats, mostly a stone's throw from The Roundhouse"
On the night, Johnny and the Sussex Wit – alongside honorary member Cosmo Sheldrake – tore through a hand-picked selection of songs from their formidable back catalogue which spans four studio albums, one EP and scores for film and television. The album also features a bonus studio cut; the much requested and never released 3-verse rendition of Johnny's 'Detectorists' theme
The Sussex Wit playing the Roundhouse were:
David Beauchamp
Adam Beach
Bass, Mandola, Organ on 'Raising The Dead'

– Greenwich Village – planting daffodil bulbs and cabbage -
Daffodil facts:
What is the difference between daffodils and narcissus?
None. The two words are synonyms. Narcissus is the Latin or botanical name for all daffodils, just as ilex is for hollies. Daffodil is the common name for all members of the genus Narcissus, and its use is recommended by the ADS at all times other than in scientific writing.
What is a jonquil?
In some parts of the country any yellow daffodil is called a jonquil, usually incorrectly. As a rule, but not always, jonquil species and hybrids are characterized by several yellow flowers, strong scent, and rounded foliage. The hybrids are confined to Division 7 and the term "jonquil" should be applied only to daffodils in Division 7 or species in Division 13 known to belong to the jonquil group.
How many kinds of daffodils are there?
Depending on which botanist you talk to, there are between 40 and 200 different daffodil species, subspecies or varieties of species and over 25,000 registered cultivars (named hybrids) divided among the thirteen divisions of the official classification system.
Will squirrels and other rodents eat daffodil bulbs?
No. The bulbs and leaves contain poisonous crystals which only certain insects can eat with impunity. They may, however, dig up the bulbs.
How long do daffodil bulbs last?
Under good growing conditions, they should outlast any of us. While some kinds of bulbs tend to dwindle and die out, daffodils should increase.
How do daffodils multiply?
Daffodils multiply in two ways: asexual cloning (bulb division) where exact copies of the flower will result, and sexually (from seed) where new, different flowers will result.
Seeds develop in the seed pod (ovary), the swelling just behind the flower petals. Most often, after bloom the seed pod swells but it is empty of seed. Occasionally, wind or insects can pollinate the flower during bloom by bringing new pollen from another flower. When this happens, the seed pod will contain one or a few seeds.
Daffodil hybridizers pollinate flowers by brushing pollen from one flower onto the stigma of another. Then the resulting seed pod can contain up to 25 seeds. Each of these will produce an entirely new plant – but the wait for a bloom for a plant grown from seed is about 5 years!
How long is the flowering season of daffodils?
From six weeks to six months, depending on where you live and the cultivars you grow. After blooming, let the daffodil plant rebuild its bulb for the next year. The leaves stay green while this is happening. When the leaves begin to yellow, then you can cut the leaves off but not before.
Are daffodils difficult to grow?
No. They are probably the easiest and most dependable of all the families of flowers and ideal for a beginner in gardening in most regions of the United States.
Can daffodils be grown throughout the United States?
Daffodils are quite tolerant of cold, especially with a covering of snow, and are grown to the Canadian border. The only exceptions are a few tender cultivars, usually tazettas, such as the popular Paper White. Daffodils can also be grown throughout the South with the exception of parts of Florida which are free of frost. A cold treatment—natural or induced—is needed for flower bud initiation. Along a narrow band adjoining the Gulf of Mexico from Florida to Texas there are certain types and named cultivars which have been found to do better than others.
They will grow in the shade of deciduous trees because they have finished flowering and the foliage has begun to mature by the time deciduous trees leaf out. However, it is better to grow them outside the drip line of deciduous trees rather than under them. Also, deciduous trees with tap roots are preferable to shallow-rooted trees. Daffodils will not long survive under evergreen trees and shrubs.
Do ground covers have an adverse effect on daffodils?
The two will be competing for nutrients and moisture, so the answer depends on the fertility of the soil and the aggressiveness of the ground cover. Vigorous, tall-growing, and deeply rooting plants, such as pachysandra and ivy, are likely to discourage daffodils, but they will usually do well in the company of shallow-rooted, trailing plants, such as myrtle, foamflower (Tiarella cordifolia), or creeping phlox (Phlox stolonifera).

The Nissan Juke is one of the best selling Nissan's SUV, maybe that the primary reason Nissan prepare for 2020 Nissan Juke Edition. It captured everybody off-guard, yet the numbers promote themselves. Throughout the globe, there are greater than 700,000 systems of this car when driving. The comparable crossovers from various other suppliers have actually hardly offered 100,000. The Japanese supplier intends to proceed incomparable style, so the 2020 Nissan Juke gets on the method.
According to numerous resources Yokohama based firm prepares to hinder a little bit from the style that made Juke so eye-catching. According to Car publication, brand-new Juke needs to appear for 2020 MY. From the exact same resource, we know that since sector patterns brand-new Juke will expand in dimension.
This would place 2020 Juke in the subcompact classification. Like we discussed the brand-new design will be various, however not by a huge margin. Advancement of the present version is more probable as they do not wish to push away dedicated consumers. Overall, updates get on the method as the existing version is obtaining old after a seven-year period on the marketplaces.
2020 Nissan Juke Model Overview
If you intend to picture just how will brand-new Juke appear like, we're right here to assist you. As currently stated, it will be bigger. The layout will be a mix of what we presently have with a dosage of Nissan Gripz Principle and also the Nissan Vmotion 2.0 Idea. Additionally, Nissan mentioned that what we have actually seen on lately launched Micra will be layout included on all future designs. So, rather Juke's distinctive fronts lights we are possibly likely to have something extra standard. 2020 Nissan Juke will be riding on CMF-B system. The measurements will consist of development in both size and also size. In addition, it will additionally be closer to the ground. With these modifications, the travelers will have even more room. This is just one of the things that Juke was slammed for.
With brand-new Micra, Nissan permitted its clients to customize a lot of the functions of this vehicle. This fad will proceed with every one of their subcompact lorries. Customization implies that consumers will have the ability to change things like A-pillar, C-pillar as well as inside to their sort as well as wishes.
Common attributes such as I-CON system user interface must be readily available with the brand-new version. , upgraded, to make sure that they remain contemporary. Push-button begin rearview cam, AM/FM/CD/ USB stereo as well as touchscreen screen will all discover its means to 2020 MY. The display which presently has 5.1 inches may be extra famous in 2 years time.
2020 Nissan Juke Drivetrain
With every one of the uniqueness anticipated with 2020 Nissan Juke, several of the old attributes will be gone. With 2020 MY you will not have diesel powertrains. Rather, there will be 2 fuel devices. These engines will be brand-new gen of turbocharged fuel mills. They are reported to have an effect on the same level as their diesel equivalents. Moreover, a plug-in hybrid powertrain is likewise in the mix. This powerplant will be a Mitsubishi-derived one. This makes good sense as considering that from 2016 Mitsubishi belongs to Renault-Nissan partnership.
The recurring variation of Nissan Juke includes 2 variants of the very same engine. The device concerned is a 1.6-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder with 188 horsepower. This mill has the exact same result on all variations, however, Nismo RS. Nismo design includes 215hp. Juke includes both hand-operated and also transmission, as well as this should not transform in the future.
Release Date & Price of 2020 Nissan Juke
This Sports SUV will not strike the marketplaces prior to completion of 2019. In upcoming months we ought to witness screening burros and also models, as Nissan still has a great deal of job to do. This car ought to see the light of the day at one of the significant vehicle programs in 2019, most likely in Europe. Yet, it will not be readily available for acquisition prior to the turn of the year. Remain tuned as we gather a lot more details regarding this design.
The 2020 Nissan Juke intends to keep its area as one of the most effective marketing Nissan versions in coming years. As a result of this, the Japanese producer will update it as long as it can without shedding any one of its identification. This will, obviously, included a cost. The price will increase from today's $21,200, which is the cost of the base design. An AWD RS Juke has actually a rate evaluated $31,000 mark.

Synergy Resources brass to ring opening bell
July 3, 2012
A bell ringing in New York.
Ed Holloway is going to love that sound.
Come Thursday, the CEO of Synergy Resources, an oil and gas development and exploration company out of Platteville, will wear his monkey suit and ring the opening bell of the New York Stock Exchange, opening the trading day to celebrate the growing company's first year on the exchange.
"When you go on those exchanges, they offer you that opportunity to do that," said Holloway, who is used to tooling around Weld County in his plaid shirts and jeans. "You have to apply for it and work your way into getting it. Our opportunity came up. It's quite an honor and an opportunity. … You have to wear a suit and tie."
In September 2008, Holloway took his fledgling company public by merging with another smaller company, in what is called a reverse merger. Last July, he put the company's stock on the exchange.
"When you add everything up, we're over $200 million-plus," Holloway said of the company's financial situation. "And we've raised $77 million, we have about $28 million in the bank, and we used about $50 million plus revenue to build a company that's in excess of $200 million. That's hitting it pretty hard."

Besides taking his board of directors up to ring the bell, the ringing is more ceremonial than anything. Holloway and his crew might become a blip on the morning announcements of Fox Business or CNBC or Bloomberg.
Companies vie for varying times available to ring the opening and closing bells. Holloway wanted the morning time slot.
"You have more attention, and since it's the opening part of day, it kicks off the market for the day. It's the most sought-after spot."
After the bell ringing, Holloway and his board will retire to the historic New York Stock Exchange boardroom, "which is a thrill by itself."
"The heartbeat of U.S. business is right there," Holloway said. "It's where everything happens and everything is going on. You're put under a microscope, part of a big overall financial setting, and just not anyone can walk in and say we want to have our board meeting in there."
In addition, Synergy last week made it to the Russell 3000 Index, which measures the performance of the largest 3,000 U.S. companies representing about 98 percent of the investable U.S. equity market, according to its website.
"They go through, look at all the up-and-coming companies, look at the financials and growth," Holloway said. "It's just another honor to be listed. We're getting other people watching what we're doing. That's part of the growth of a public company, and it's all been very exciting and good."
Synergy will soon report its third-quarter results, with year-end in September. Holloway said he expects to have a solid third quarter.
Next year, plans will include a ramp up in horizontal drilling in northern Colorado.

It was a joyful day for more than 500 pupils at various rural schools in KwaZulu-Natal when they were provided with full school uniforms by Ithala's social investment unit.
The Abantwana Bethu or "Our Children" campaign aims to promote a positive learning environment, either through financial support or the sponsorship of essential school supplies.
In the picture: It was all smiles at the hand over of school uniforms for needy children of Zamukwazi Primary School in Hlatikulu recently. (From left): AbaMbo Traditional Council members Inkosi Sibonelo Mkhize and Sakhile Shabangu, school principal Lungile Mvelase and Ithala's Sitandiwe Dimba, Thuli Galelekile and Sibusisiwe Mazibuko.
Nurturing and education
"This year we decided to provide uniforms- the full kit from tunics and trousers to shirts, socks shoes and jersey's – to pupils in schools in Nkandla, Hlatikhulu, Manguzi, Bulwer and Msinga," said Ithala's Sitandiwe Dimba.
"The future of the country is in the hands of our children and grandchildren. Therefore, our first priority should be the nurturing and education," she said.
"Research has shown that school uniforms form an important part of education. It not only identifies a pupil as being from a school and provides a sense of identity, it also teaches children to dress smartly and to be proud of their appearance. This is important for when youth enter the workplace."
Engaged with Amakhosi
The schools were identified by Ithala's branch managers in its network of branches, working in partnership with its CSI unit.
An important part of the Abantwana Bethu initiative is the strategic partnerships the organisation has developed with various rural communities.
Ithala: Rewards for small business lions
"We have engaged with the Amakhosi and traditional councils in the various areas and the uniforms for the Zamukwazi Primary School in Hlatikulu were handed over to the AbaMbo Traditional Council leaders. This speaks directly to Ithala's recognition of the role that the Amakhosi and traditional leadership play in communities," said Dimba.
"Many companies have approached us with beautiful promises, but only Ithala has delivered and kept to their mandate for development. This shows that Ithala is an organisation that cares about its people," said Inkosi Sibonelo Mkhize at a ceremony in which the uniforms were handed over to the AbaMbo Traditional Council.

How You Can
the Conversation
Think of the last conversation you had with a coworker about their mental health. Was it challenging? A relief? If you can't remember having such a conversation, you're not alone.
It's no secret that there's a stigma attached to talking about mental health, especially in the workplace. That stigma is what keeps people from getting the care and resources they need. At TiER1, we're on a mission to remove that stigma and start the conversation. You can learn about our journey here.
We partnered with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) and the Lindner Center of Hope to create Start the Conversation, a program designed to get employees talking about mental health. Start the Conversation (#StartTheConversation) is about reducing the stigma of mental illness so that more people who suffer can get the help they need sooner. This program is available to any employer hoping to make a difference for their people.
How it works.
You'll need a champion and facilitator from your organization with the commitment and courage to empower your organization to start the conversation. Through the Start the Conversation program, we'll provide a toolkit of communication templates and materials to facilitate learning and discussion around the topic.
What's included.
- A pre- and post-survey template for your people
- A communication toolkit that provides the messaging and biweekly emails you'll need to roll out the program
- A kickoff deck and final presentation with talking points
- Online reference materials to use throughout the program
No one can do their best work when they're struggling with something they can't talk about. Having a conversation allows people to start to remove the stigma, connect to resources, and become equipped to overcome the hurdle. Ultimately, it helps free people to do their best work.
Interested in connecting with Sarah or our Start the Conversation team? Give us a call at (859) 415-1000 or drop us a line in the form at the bottom of this page.

Soon after the high level review meeting chaired by the Chief Minister at the State Secretariat here, Special Relief Commissioner (SRC) Bishnupada Sethi informed media, "Puri and Khurda have suffered big damage to infrastructure and private property. We're trying to restore normalcy soon."
He added, "You all know that big trees and kutcha (non-concrete) houses at all the places have got damaged. Whatever standing Rabi crop as well as horticulture crop, coconut trees, etc were there, they have also got damaged."
Claiming that all major roads have been restored, he informed that efforts are on to restore all the arterial roads.
"ODRAF teams, Fire personnel, NDRF are cooperating with us to cut the uprooted trees in a bid to clear the obstructed roads," he stated.
The SRC also stated, "We are making arrangements for water supply by using generator sets. We had requested the general public in urban areas to keep their overhead water tank full. As the tanks are full, they will be in use till the normalcy is restored."

Dear readers,
You can now find me on Snapchat as mrs_teepot please feel free to add me on there and I will attempt to use it once I figure it out…!
Trying to be Snap-happy
Dear readers (again),
I am starting a monthly, I think, newsletter for the blog, if you would like updates that way please feel free to sign up over on the sidebar. I have no idea what will be in it yet, so if you have any ideas or requests do let me know!
Hopping on the newsletter bandwagon
Dear Blog,
I love you!
You have seen me through good times and bad, always been there for me, a place to vent, a place to break-down, a place to share my feelings. You have given friends a way to see my true self, provided a place for me to get support and advice, allowed me to figure out who I am. You are the best friend, the soulmate, the 'one.'
I'm sure to none bloggers, maybe even to some bloggers, this sounds a bit OTT, a bit much, but I value my blog so highly, it is a part of me and it has helped to shape me.
When I first started writing my blog, in a different guise, I knew nothing but thought I knew everything. I wrote posts I now completely disagree with, I wont take them down because they are part of my history, but I can look back on them and see how far I have come, how I have built a better person.
So thank you, to my little space on the interwebs, to my readers, to the friends I have made. You are all awesome. This isn't a "now I'm going to pack it all in" speech by the way, I just wanted to say thanks.
Very thankfully.

The 2013 Little Characters Search is still on. And we're still having a blast keeping up with the adorable photos that roll in each day. Some shots are so precious that they remain memorable well past the search itself. In 2011, Carolyn Barlow was selected for the Little Characters campaign– and when you look at the hilarious photo submitted by her mom, Jennifer, you can see why.
Baltimore Fishbowl: So Jennifer, How was it to be part of Little Characters last year? Did friends recognize Carolyn in the ads? What was your favorite part or moment of the experience?
Jennifer Barlow: It has been a blast working with Bridget and wearing fabulous clothes! I can't take my daughter into the store anymore because she just thinks she can try on anything and everything! The best part, of course, was having these pictures of my daughter at her photo shoot. The shoot was so well run and quick! The photographer did an amazing job working with the children. Yes, many people did recognize Carolyn. My favorite part was watching her 'work' the runway during the fashion show at Baltimore Country Club. I just wanted to know: "where did she learn this stuff?"!! I was blown away.
Carolyn: Favorite part: trying on the clothes!
BFB: Any words of advice for parents submitting photos of their children this year?
JB: Submit candid shots, silly shots
BFB: That certainly seems to have worked for Carolyn. What caused you to participate in the Little Characters search last year?
JB: My father really pushed me to enter Carolyn. Glad I did!
BFB: Carolyn, what's one of your favorite local places to go for a special treat or event that you would recommend to other kids and their parents?
CB: Dunkin Donuts and Ladew Gardens!!

Jeff Berman's got a new job! The former Obama/Clinton staffer is now Beto O'Rourke's senior advisor, having moved laterally from his post-Obama-campaign career working for the DC lobbyists Bryan Cave, where he lobbied on behalf of Seaworld, the Keystone XL pileline and the private prison industry.
But definitely this is all OK because purity tests will rip the Democratic Party apart. How can we possibly defeat Trump in 2020 unless we're willing to form broad coalitions with people who want to render the planet unfit for human habitation, lock up an infinite number of brown people to enrich wealthy human rights criminals, and torture intelligent sea creatures on behalf of Seaworld owner Blackstone, the world's largest hedge fund?!
Also: lest you fear that Berman will feel isolated in O'Rourke's staff, consider that he's got lots of allies around the office, like O'Rourke chief of staff Jen O'Malley Dillon, cofounder of Precision Strategies, whose client roster includes Pfizer, Bank of America and Facebook,
Many of these clients are ostensibly on the opposite side of many of the issues that O'Rourke is campaigning on. Take, for example, immigration, a central theme of O'Rourke's presidential run: He launched his campaign in the border town of El Paso, Texas, railing against Donald Trump's immigration policies and stating, "For more than 100 years, this community has welcomed generations of immigrants from across the Rio Grande." Yet the GEO Group, for which Berman's work (along with other lobbyists) made Bryan Cave $60,000 in 2010, has profited handily from its business of running private prisons, including immigrant detention centers. According to reporting from the Daily Beast, the GEO Group made large donations to Trump's campaign and has only seen its revenue soar under the current administration, earning $2.3 billion in 2018, up from $2.18 billion in 2016. Berman's work on behalf of the GEO Group was for "outreach related to the Bureau of Prisons budget allocation in the Administration's FY2011 budget," according to federal filings.
O'Rourke has also been trying to shore up his climate change bonafides in response to the young activist base of the Democratic Party. After being heavily criticized for breaking his pledge to not take money from fossil fuel executives during his Senate campaign, O'Rourke made the first major policy proposal of his presidential run a $5 trillion plan to combat climate change. And, after much pressure, O'Rourke again pledged to take in no fossil fuel money, promising to return donations already made to his campaign by fossil fuel executives.
Yet Berman's past work on behalf of TransCanada between 2009 and 2011 puts O'Rourke's newest staffer squarely on the opposite side of one of the most contentious climate issues during Obama's tenure. As HuffPost reported when the Clinton campaign hired Berman, he and other officials from Bryan Cave made the firm $980,000 for their lobbying work for TransCanada.

You should be overcautious when browsing the Internet, visiting websites, and leaving your personal info. Although it is not always the case, your computer can get "infected" by malware. Viruses can damage files or software stored on your PC, which are usually impossible to restore and fix. Viruses and Internet worms are dangerous programs that can spread via email or web pages and access your computer. That's why you should think twice before clicking a button and following a link.
If you are worried whether porn websites can harm your personal computer, we want to put you out of suspense – the popular majority of platforms with adult content are clean and will not pose any danger to you. Nevertheless, you should always remember about the main rules of safety on the web.
Rules of Safety on Web
The best way to safeguard your computer from malware intrusion is to use a firewall and regularly update the operating system. The best protection against computer hacking is protection by using a security service and antiviral protection as well as proper maintenance of the operating system in order.
Following the above recommendations will help you avoid problems with getting your pc infected. Besides, there are also five rules regarding using your email:
- Never open suspicious messages or email attachments received from contacts who are not in your contact list. Instead, delete them immediately by selecting a command in the message menu;
- Never reply to spam;
- Use the spam filter of your Internet service provider or email program;
- Create a separate email address for your registration on forums, making online purchases, etc.
Additional Rules
Close Dubious Pop-ups
Pop-up windows are small windows with content that leads you to follow a link. When displaying such a window, the safest way to close it is to press the X icon (usually located in the upper right corner). It is impossible to know for sure what action will follow after pressing the "No" button.
Beware of Fraud
On the Internet, it is easy to hide your identity. It is recommended to verify the identity of the person with whom communication takes place (for example, in discussion groups). Never disclose personal info on the Internet, with the exception of people you trust. When requesting the provision of personal info on the website, always review the "Terms of Use" or "Privacy Policy" sections to ensure that the website operator provides information on the purpose of using the received information and its transfer to others.
Discuss the Use of the Internet
Most of the material available on the Internet is unsuitable for minors. Explain to your children how to behave on the Internet correctly and safely.

On Friday, January 11, the renovated Hillenbrand Aquatic Center opened it's doors for the Arizona Women's Swimming & Diving meet versus Washington State. This marked the first competition to take place in the new pool. Check out the details of the renovations below:
- Rebuilt and expanded the 50-meter pool to 65 meters, including the old diving well
- Increased the number of 25-yard short course lanes from 18 to 22
- Replaced and significantly upgraded the pump and plumbing infrastructure
- New chemical and filtration infrastructure and storage
All are invited to join the Wildcat Club and Arizona Swimming & Diving on Saturday, February 9th at Hillenbrand Aquatic Center as we officially dedicate the new facility. Gates open at 10:00am, followed by the Facility Dedication ceremony and Senior Day recognition at 11:30am and the Arizona vs. ASU Swim & Dive Meet at noon. Parking is available for a nominal fee in South Stadium Garage or 6th Street Garage. To RSVP for the Hillenbrand Aquatics Center Facility Dedication, please click here.
We would like to thank all Wildcat Club members for their support! Capital campaign projects such as the Hillenbrand Aquatic Center renovation wouldn't be possible without you To learn more about current capital campaign projects, click here.
Can you talk about your experience as a student-athlete at Arizona?
My experience as a student athlete here was amazing. There are so many things I learned—about being a Wildcat, being a leader, that anything is possible and you can accomplish whatever you set your mind to, that you can dream big. Sometimes you're in uncomfortable situations and I learned that there's a reason why you're uncomfortable…you're growing! For example, I used to hate public speaking. When I came to Arizona, our team had to go out and do things in the community and I would say "I don't want to be the one to speak!" But eventually, I was used to it and became much better at it. Rocky LaRose developed the CATS Life Skills program and I think it's the best program in the country for holistic development, so on and off the court. Learning how to save money, how to act and dress professionally…it all helped me to grow.
When did you realize you wanted to become a coach?
Not until the end of my professional career. When I was a professional player I remember I was in Israel and Joan Bonvicini was the coach here and she asked if I was interested and I said "Heck no!" I was 25 or 25, playing basketball, traveling the world, enjoying myself, so I didn't even really consider it. At the end of my professional career when I was making the transition and trying to figure out if I wanted to do broadcasting, coaching, or something else, I was evaluating my strengths, asking myself what I'm good at. I asked myself what gave me a fire in my belly and the answer was mentoring people, specifically young women. I asked myself what I loved….I love basketball. I asked myself what has had the most impact on my life? The answer was basketball. So then it was easy…I decided to try coaching! I think it's so important to have a job where you don't feel like you are working and you can influence people and I found that in coaching.
If you weren't a coach, what career would you have pursued?
I probably would have done broadcasting, maybe with the Pac-12 Network. I would still be doing camps and a lot of foundation work. I think I would have gone back to school for my MBA.
Can you talk about the season? The team is 14-6 right now and has been very exciting to watch.
It's been a fun year. Winning is fun, losing is not (laughs). I think the most important thing for me is culture. This year I feel our team culture is really moving in the right direction. We're not ready to win a championship yet, but we are competing and surprising people. This team is full of good kids with good hearts and they are so motivated on and off the court. We've really upped our community service and GPAs, and those things are very important to me. My job is to put a more complete product together and I think we are doing that…we are exposing our players to different things and that's a big part of why I love this job. Basketball provides a lot of opportunity for experiences, like traveling internationally, that players may not otherwise have.
What's been your favorite memory so far as a coach?
Probably my first game back here at Arizona. There were a lot of nerves and emotion, being back in McKale where it all began for me. It was pretty special. Second to that would probably be my first win as a coach.
What does the Wildcat Way mean to you?
It means you represent the block A and you own it. You have pride in it. You are doing the right things, the right way. It means you can do anything you set your mind to…there's never a "can't," only "can." It's a confidence and a mentality. The Wildcat Way is a large part of why I came back. There's something to be said for the longevity of the coaches like Candrea, Rubio and Harvey. There's something to be said for all the student-athletes who come back to Arizona.
What kind of impact do donors have?
Donors have an immense impact. I mentioned overseas travel earlier—that wouldn't be possible without donor support. Foreign tours are so beneficial to the team and are also important for recruiting. Our locker rooms, the weight room…all of these facilities wouldn't be what they are without donors. Facilities sometimes can be the difference between getting a top recruit or not. We wouldn't be where we are without donor support.
On Wednesday, February 6, Arizona Athletics will host a Commitment Day Celebration with Coach Kevin Sumlin and his coaching staff. All 2018-19 season ticket holders and Wildcat Club members are invited to attend.
You, too, will have the opportunity to commit to the 2019 season by renewing or purchasing Football season tickets on Feb. 6. If you renew or purchase during the event, you will receive an exclusive game day experience at Arizona Stadium for the season opener against NAU on September 7!
The Commitment Day Celebration will take place in the Sands Club at the Lowell Stevens Football Facility, and will go from 6:00-8:00pm. Tickets are $5/ea if purchased in advance (by 5:00pm on Feb. 5) or $10/ea at the door. Ticket price includes light hors d'oeuvres and two drink tickets. Parking is available in the Cherry Avenue Garage for a nominal fee and free parking is available in surrounding surface lots after 5:00pm.
To RSVP, click here. We hope to see you Feb. 6!
We have two more Wildcat Club Appreciation Nights on the books! Wildcat Club members will be invited to redeem two complimentary tickets to the March 1 Women's Basketball game versus Oregon and the May 11 Baseball game vs USC. Be on the lookout for emails coming soon with instructions on how to claim your complimentary tickets!

Tests rule out rare tick virus; more tests due
http://www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/apps ... 3309100019
The Poughkeepsie Journal, September 10, 2013
see video, captioned: Poughkeepsie mourns teen Joseph Elone: Mourners talk about Poughkeepsie teen Joseph Elone, who died suddenly, possibly due to the tick-borne Powassan virus. 8/16/13, 8:51 PM
Medical officials are still trying to determine what caused the Aug. 5 death of 17-year-old Joseph Elone, now that test results for the rare, tick-borne virus Powassan encephalitis came back negative.
Elone did test positive for acute disseminated Lyme disease, according to Dutchess County Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Kari Reiber.
"The state lab performs a series of complex tests. ... They did show acute disseminated Lyme disease, but Powassan was excluded," Reiber said.
Elone's exact cause of death should "hopefully be confirmed this week," Reiber said.
The grieving family is waiting, too, although no answer will bring back what they've lost.
"Be it Lyme or be it Powassan — people need to know that it can kill a strong, physical guy," said Benedict Elone, Joseph's father.
The teenager was tested for Lyme in July because he had been feeling run down, his father said. Doctors thought he had a virus.
That test was negative.
The Elones were later told by doctors that a negative test would mean their son "wouldn't have had it for more than four weeks; he wouldn't have built up antibodies," his dad said.
Diane Elone found her son lying on the front lawn of the family's City of Poughkeepsie home after the pair took a trip to Rite Aid in the afternoon of Aug. 4 to buy him cough drops. He wasn't breathing.
He was flown to Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla and a few minutes after midnight on Aug. 5 — his mother's birthday — Joseph Elone was declared dead.
"We're waiting from the state for final testing, then the autopsy will be issued from Westchester Medical Center," Reiber said.

Find a Sponsorship Broker
Looking for a sponsorship broker or agency? Someone to sell sponsorship on your behalf?
The bad news is that there are more people looking for brokers than there are good brokers. The good news is that we have a broker registry, so at least you have a place to start.
We do not endorse any of these brokers, but are providing this list as a service to sponsorship seekers. Do your homework, drop them a line, and ask good questions. We strongly recommend you read both of these blogs, as they will give you a good understanding about what to look for and what to avoid.
- How Much Should You Pay a Sponsorship Broker
- How to Spot a Sponsorship Broker Scam (and One Broker You Should Avoid)
We do not recommending working with Alpha Sponsorship Consulting, their CEO, Matthew Delmore, or his new venture, Prestige Sponsorship. At one point, Alpha Sponsorship Consulting was included on this list, but the listing was removed in May 2018, after we received multiple complaints about them from their clients.

This Week's Astrology: Dec. 13–19, 2018
A calm that might seem unusual at this time of year could add to your seasonal enjoyment and generally make life easier. There won't be a lot of planetary action, although there will be many interactions you may want to seize upon so they can be used to your advantage.
Sunday and Monday will seem to be the most eventful times, with Saturn providing a calm and relaxing influence on Venus, and Mars energizing the the passion of planet Pluto. Sunday will also mark a point where you might sense a "reset" of sorts, when the moon starts the journey through the zodiac over again in the intrepid sign of Aries.
On Thursday, the cool mood of the Aquarius moon will cede to the less intellectual sensation of Pisces. Expect more "touchy-feely" reactions to your proposals in all areas of life. Also, a wild mixture of interactions with several other planets will make the Pisces moon seem like a very confusing period.
The foggy nature of Pisces' influence will be magnified when the moon meets up with Neptune and Mars on Friday. While this makes it difficult to attain clarity, it could also contribute to a brief escape from the mundane. There is one caveat: special care should be taken to avoid overindulgence. Items that affect our pleasure centers have greater effect at times such as these!
An early Saturday morning void of course period can be avoided by sleeping in some on Saturday. Interactions with Pluto and the sun will push you to get started on projects you may have been hoping to put off just a little bit longer. Enthusiasm will abound on Sunday when the moon taps on the enthusiasm of Mercury and Jupiter in Sagittarius.
A hunger for power could arise when Mars teams up with Pluto on Monday. There is nothing wrong with flexing one's muscles, but it's important to be on your guard against the likelihood of a formidable negotiator attempting to strong-arm you. Put off any important decisions, including large purchases, until Tuesday or Wednesday.
By Tuesday morning, the moon will enter Taurus, and you'll be far more protective about your interests. Of course, others will be as well. Don't expect to change any minds, but with this stable influence, you'll be very sure about what you want. The Taurus moon will continue to inspire stability on Wednesday… at least until it goes void of course at 7:42 p.m. This would be a better time for taking inventory of your recent acquisitions before making more. The moon's interactions with Venus, Neptune, Pluto and Mars will help you get a clear idea of where you stand in all your relationships, all in time for next week's full moon.

One of Donald Trump's top economic advisers has acknowledged the president was wrong to suggest that China would pay tariffs on its exports to the US.
Larry Kudlow, who heads the National Economic Council, accepted it was US businesses that paid the import tax.He told Fox News that he believed "both sides will suffer" from the escalating trade dispute.
On Friday Mr Trump tweeted that tariffs on $250bn of goods coming into the US were being paid "by China".
The president argued there was "no need to rush" into a trade agreement with China, as the US Treasury was benefiting from these "massive payments".
However, in an interview with Fox News Sunday, Mr Kudlow admitted that it was American businesses that paid the tariffs on any goods brought in from China, and that US consumers would also foot the bill if firms passed on the cost increase.
Mr Kudlow said he thought the tariffs would also have an impact on China's economy, as the higher cost would reduce US demand for Chinese goods.
"Both sides will suffer on this," he said.Last year the US imposed a 10% tariff on $200bn worth of Chinese products - including fish, handbags, clothing and footwear.
The firms paying the additional tariff can choose to absorb it themselves, pass it on to consumers in the form of higher prices, or ask their suppliers to reduce their prices.
Last week the US said it was increasing tariffs from 10% to 25% on $200bn (£153.7bn) of goods from China. President Trump said Beijing "broke the deal" by backtracking on earlier commitments to change its policies.
Mr Trump said a process had begun to place the full 25% tariff on a further $325bn of Chinese goods, causing concern over the impact the ongoing tit-for-tat trade spat between the world's two largest economies might have on global growth.
China said it deeply regretted the US action and would take "necessary counter-measures".
Despite two days of negotiations in Washington last week there is no indication that the two sides are any closer to resolving their differences.
The US argues that China's trade surplus with the US is the result of unfair practices, include state support for domestic companies. It also accuses China of stealing intellectual property from US firms.
China has responded saying it will not swallow any "bitter fruit". The commentary is due for publication on Monday in the ruling Communist Party's People's Daily.
Mr Kudlow said the sticking point was Beijing's reluctance to put agreed changes into law.
Talks are expected to resume in Beijing, and Mr Kudlow said there was a "strong possibility" that Trump would meet with China's President Xi Jinping at a G20 summit in Japan in late June.

There are those who hope Joe Biden, as he weighs a 2020 presidential run, hasn't lost his touch for personal connections. There are others who wish he would.
A Connecticut resident is among the two women who came forward this week with complaints that the former Democratic vice president violated their personal space when greeting them at campaign events. Amy Lappos, a former staffer for U.S. Rep Jim Himes, says Biden pulled her toward him to rub noses. As it was happening, Lappos thought Biden intended to kiss her, she says.
This week, we judge the appropriateness of the 76-year-old's ways of expressing affection on the campaign trail, and that of his response to the women's criticisms. Does he really get the message of the #MeToo movement?
It's also the dawn of a new day for Connecticut. Gov. Ned Lamont is calling for an end to the era of unguarded spending on the state's credit card. This week, the State Bond Commission gave us a taste of what a "debt diet" will mean.
Campaigning in Connecticut also may change if lawmakers pass legislation targeting candidate advertisements that use altered images of their opponents to cast them in a negative light.
We address that, as well as a bid to allow candidates to use campaign funds to cover their childcare costs.

Original brewpub location of Freetail Brewing Co. We opened in 2008 when a lot of people thought a brewpub in San Antonio was a terrible idea, and even more people thought opening ANY kind of business was a bad idea considering the financial meltdown happening all around us. Nevertheless, we pressed on, committed to bring high-quality brews and tasty pizza to our hometown. Several years and a couple thousand new breweries later, we're still here, doing what we do best.

April was a low volatility month for interest rates. The 10-year Treasury yield began to rise very late in March, peaking at 2.60% on April 17th. Rates changed course and closed the month at a 2.50%. The "mini-inversion" of the yield curve continued, with the 6-month to 3-year spread now at -15 basis points (bps). The much followed 2- to 10-year ended the month 9 bps steeper.
Overseas, the overall economic tone continued to be relatively bearish, despite a bit of a pick-up in China. Europe is especially problematic with negative yields extending beyond sovereigns to some corporate credits and Germany also mired in a slowdown. Domestically, there was a strong GDP report late in the month, but analysts quickly discerned weaknesses in some important components. Other data releases showed mixed results: payrolls and durable goods data beat market expectations, but personal income and industrial production were lower than expected. The labor market remains strong, with the unemployment rate at only 3.6%.
Inflation remains below the Federal Reserve's target. Fed directors have emphasized the desirability of having inflation at or above 2%. The market has responded by pricing in Fed rate cuts over the next 12 months. Ten-year TIPS breakevens have hovered close to 190 bps.

Celebrating 20 Years!
It's a capital anniversary.
The CBC is celebrating 20 years in Victoria on Friday, and fans of public broadcasting are invited to join in the celebration.
CBC Victoria will host a meet and greet at its studios at 780 Kings Rd. from 1-3 p.m. PT with hosts Sheryl MacKay, Michelle Eliot, Gregor Craigie, Robyn Burns and Bob McDonald.
Later Friday, you can enjoy a free concert at Alix Goolden Performance Hall featuring local talents Towers and Trees and Fallbrigade. Tickets are available via Ticketfly with the promo code CBCVIC20.
The concert, hosted by Gregor Craigie, runs 7:30-9 p.m. and will be broadcast provincewide on CBC Radio One.
The CBC presence in Victoria is thanks in large part to a group of committed residents who advocated for local programming.
Members of the West Coast Media Society, like Pat Carfra and Judith Alldritt McDowell, were among those who were vocal about the importance of getting a station in Victoria — at the time, the only provincial capital without a CBC station.

Evelyn D. Postma, age 87, of Sheldon, Iowa passed away on Thursday, February 9, 2012 at the Sanford Sheldon Senior Care in Sheldon, Iowa.
Her service will be 11:00 A.M. Monday, February 13, 2012 at the First Reformed Church in Sheldon, Iowa with Rev. David Brower officiating. Graveside services will be at 10:30 A.M. February 13, 2012 at East Lawn Cemetery in Sheldon.
Visitation will be Sunday, February 12, 2012 from 4 7 P.M. with the family present from 4:00 – 6:00 P.M. at the Vander Ploeg Funeral Home in Sheldon.
Evelyn Dean Postma, daughter of Fred and Eva (Van Oort) Wilts, was born January 9, 1925, in George, Iowa. She attended school in Lyon and O'Brien Counties as her family lived in George, Sheldon and Archer during her school years. On November 21, 1947, she was united in marriage to Clarence Postma in Sheldon, Iowa. After their marriage the couple farmed in Boyden, Iowa for 13 years before moving to Paullina and Sheldon, Iowa, where they owned and operated Postma Water Conditioning and Laundromat for 22 years. The couple retired in 1979, spending winters in Mesa, Arizona and then moving to Mesa for 11 years. The couple returned to Paullina, Iowa for 10 years before moving to the Christian Retirement Home in Sheldon, Iowa.
Evelyn was a member of the First Reformed Church of Sheldon. Through the years, she taught Sunday school and was an active member of Women's Circle in Boyden and Paullina. She enjoyed music as she loved to sing, play bells and piano. The family's fondest memories are of her planting flowers; listening to songs and then playing them on the piano; singing harmony with all those around her as well as having the most heart-warming sense of humor, especially in the midst of difficult times. Her sense of style and beauty were reflected in the clothes she wore and with her gift of interior design. She embraced the tough issues of life with grace and dignity. She was beloved by all.
Evelyn is survived by six children, Nancy and her husband Dudley Hinz of Paullina, Iowa, Connie Jane and her husband Rick Pinckard of San Diego, California, Roger and his wife Mary Postma of Peterson, Iowa, Chuck and his wife Sara Postma of Paullina, Iowa, Evonne Postma of Paullina, Iowa and Mark and his wife Jeri Postma of Sheldon, Iowa; ten grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren. She is also survived by four sisters Harriet Riemers of Boyden, Iowa; Alvina (and Henry) Van Heuvelen of Sheldon, Iowa; Joyce (and Richard) Johnson of Sun City West, Arizona; and Mary Ann Reekers of Hull, Iowa; her aunt Nettie Urban of Sheldon, Iowa, along with other relatives and friends.
She was preceded in death by her husband Clarence, her parents, brother Frederick, and brother-in-laws: Vern Reimers, Henry Reekers, and Arnold Reekers.

British banks have joined forces with the NFU to call on the government to enable investment on farms and to highlight the need for resilient farming businesses going into Brexit.
At a meeting hosted by the NFU on 28 June, bankers from HSBC, Barclays, Lloyds, RBS-NatWest, Clydesdale and Yorkshire and Bank of England, emphasised the important role that banks play in supporting UK farmers, especially in this time of uncertainty.
NFU Deputy President Guy Smith chaired the meeting. He said:
"This was a great opportunity to underline the importance of productivity and investment and ensure that Britain's banks continue to support our farmers.
"Uncertainty around Brexit is understandably making some farmers nervous about taking long term investment decisions for their businesses. With mid-term confidence at an all-time low, it is reassuring that we have the backing of major banks as we look to the government to provide that much-needed certainty.
"Continued financial support will help give farmers the confidence they need to make important investments. The NFU looks forward to working with these banks to enable productive, profitable and progressive farming businesses, and a more certain future for farming post-Brexit."

QUILICONI, Cintia and RIVERA, Renato. Ideology and Leadership in Regional Cooperation: The Cases of Defense and the World Against Drugs Councils in Unasur. Rev. Urug. Cienc. Polít. [online]. 2019, vol.28, n.1, pp.219-248. Epub June 01, 2019. ISSN 0797-9789. http://dx.doi.org/10.26851/rucp.28.1.8.
The paper analyzes how political ideologies convergence/divergence dynamics in South America and the presence of regional leaders supporting sectorial agendas have influenced regional cooperation levels in Unasur. We analyze divergent levels of regional cooperation in the same period in order to explore why cooperation has deepened in certain sectors but stagnated in others. Through the analysis of two sectoral case studies, the paper shows that a context of ideological convergence is a necessary but not sufficient condition to enhance regional cooperation.
In fact, the paper finds that the combination of ideological convergence vis-à-vis a strong regional leadership supporting the agenda of the South American Defense Council and enhancing consensus among members encouraged deeper cooperation. Moreover, the alternation in leading this topic by other countries such as Argentina and Venezuela made cooperation in defense feasible. On the contrary, the South American World Drugs Problem Council case shows that even though there was an important ideological convergence among members, this agenda did not flourish given that there were no regional leaders engaged in the promotion of this topic.

Analyzing Child Outcomes Data for Program Improvement: A Guidance Table
This guidance table is a tool to help identify key issues, questions, and approaches for analyzing and interpreting data on outcomes for young children with disabilities. The tool outlines a series of steps related to defining analysis questions, clarifying expectations, analyzing data, testing inferences, and conducting data-based program improvement planning. It is best used in combination with other resources or as a point of reference for a group working with technical assistance providers or others who have experience analyzing and interpreting data. States will benefit from using the tool as a guide and individualizing specific content based on the data they have available and the specific issues that are priority interests or focal areas for program improvement.

Vacaville, CAHOME Menu
Payment Standards
Renting a House or Apartment
What amount of rent do I qualify for?
The amount of rent you qualify for is determined by your income. You are not allowed to rent a unit that requires you to pay more than 40% of your adjusted monthly income toward rent.
What is the 40% rule?
Families will generally pay at least 30% of their monthly adjusted income toward rent, not to exceed 40% of monthly adjusted income in the first term of the lease. Your portion also depends on the rent of the unit you choose. If your rent is higher than the maximum subsidy the Housing Authority can pay, you have to pay the difference out of your own pocket. However, you are not allowed to rent a unit that requires you to pay more than 40% of your adjusted monthly income toward rent. If the rent is too high, you have to find another unit.
What is the payment standard?The Payment Standard is used to calculate the housing assistance payment for a family. In accordance with HUD regulations, and at the VHA/SCHA's discretion, the Voucher Payment Standard amount is set by the VHA/SCHA between 90 percent and 110 percent of the HUD published Fair Market Rent (FMR). This is considered the basic range.
VHA Updated 1/1/2020 SCHA Updated 1/1/2020
|VHA Payment Standard SCHA Payment Standard
0 Bdrm $1012 0 Bdrm $1012
1 Bdrm $1196 1 Bdrm $1196
2 Bdrm $1475 2 Bdrm $1475
3 Bdrm $2146 3 Bdrm $2146
4 Bdrm $2597 4 Bdrm $2597
5 Bdrm $2987 5 Bdrm $2987
6 Bdrm $3376 6 Bdrm $3376
To receive rent assistance under the Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments Program, families whose annual income does not exceed the following, as of April 24, 2019, are eligible:
Family of:
One (1)
Five (5)
Two (2)
Six (6)
Three (3)
Seven (7)
Four (4)
Eight (8)
What is the utility allowance?
The utility allowance is intended to cover the cost of utilities not included in the rent. The allowance is based on the typical cost of utilities and services paid by energy-conservative households that occupy housing of similar size and type in the same locality. Allowances are not based on an individual family's actual energy consumption. The VHA/SCHA will not provide any allowance for non-essential utility costs, such as costs of phone, cable or satellite television. See current Utility Allowance Schedule under Vacaville Housing Authority or Solano County Housing Authority.
What do I do with the RFTA?
Interested property owners must complete the Request For Tenancy Approval (RFTA) for a person that has a current (valid) Housing Choice Voucher. The RFTA is given to voucher holders to present to the owner. The RFTA must be signed by both the owner and the voucher holder. The VHA/SCHA will review the proposed lease and the RFTA documents to determine whether or not the unit is approvable.
When can I move in?
Once you find a new unit, you will be given the following forms to complete: Request for Lease Approval; Tenancy Addendum; Condition and Inventory Report; and Lead Based Paint Form. Complete all the forms listed above and return them to the VHA/SCHA, along with a copy of your proposed lease. The VHA/SCHA has up to 15 days to review and approve or deny all leases. Once the lease is approved, the VHA/SCHA will contact both you and the landlord to schedule an inspection. Housing Assistance Payments cannot begin until the unit is inspected and approved by the VHA/SCHA. Remember, the terms of your prior lease may require you to stay until a certain date. If you decide to move before that date, your landlord must agree in writing. If you move without doing this, you could lose your assistance and be sued for monthly rent until the lease runs out or until another tenant is found.
Can I rent from relatives?
You cannot rent a unit owned by the parent(s), child(ren), grandparent(s), grandchild(ren), sister(s), brother(s), of any household member. The Housing Authority may approve the unit if it will provide a reasonable accommodation for a disabled family member.
What if I have a disability & need an accommodation?
Under applicable law, the Housing Authority provides "Reasonable Accommodation" to applicants and/or participants with disabilities. A "Reasonable Accommodation" is a change, exception, or adjustment to a rule, policy, practice or service that may be necessary for a person with a disability to have equal access to the programs and services. The request for the accommodation must be reasonable and not an administrative or financial burden or alter the fundamental nature of the Section 8 program. If you or any member of your household have a verifiable disability and you need a reasonable accommodation, you may request it in writing at any time. All requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and mitigating factors are taken into consideration. The accommodation must be for a person with a disability.
What is a Lease versus a Rental Agreement?
A Rental Agreement establishes a tenancy for a short period of time, usually one month. A month-to-month rental agreement is automatically renewed each month unless the landlord or the tenant gives the other the proper amount of notice (typically 30 days) and terminates the agreement. The landlord may increase the rent, change other terms of the tenancy, or terminate the lease with appropriate notice.
A Lease obligates both the landlord and the tenant for a set period of time, usually one year. The landlord can't raise the rent or change other terms until the lease runs out, unless the lease itself provides for modifications or the tenant agrees in writing to the changes. In addition, the landlord usually can't ask the tenant to move out or win an eviction lawsuit unless the tenant fails to pay the rent or violates another important term of the lease or state or local law. At the end of the lease term, the landlord can either decline to renew it or negotiate to sign a new Lease or Rental Agreement.

A Primer on Course Instruction
The art of teaching and instruction is a skill honed over a lifetime, and we all have a lot to learn...about learning . Here are a few resources to start you off:
Instructional Strategies
- The vast majority of Mountaineers students are adult learners. Here are some basic principles used by educators who specialize in that field.
- There are many ways to assess whether your students have learned what you are trying to teach. For the lecture components of your courses, consider some assessment strategies that may improve student retention.
- How do you teach a group with wide ranging skills and knowledge? This comes into play a LOT at The Mountaineers - think about the need for groups to stay together requiring you to match the pace of the slowest member. This is called "differentiation" in the field of education. Here are 6 different approaches to support your teaching.
Instructing is one of the best ways to improve how much you know about an activity yourself, but knowing how to do it well also creates better Mountaineers for the future! As we continue to coordinate our ever-expanding volunteer base, we will become the leading outdoor education training institute in the United States!
Basic Instruction Strategies at The Mountaineers
*The following comes from our Tacoma Branch's Basic Climbing Instructor's Manual.
Many of our students are here to see if they would like mountaineering. The Basic Course, for example, can go a long way toward making that happen. While we must maintain the high standards that have been set in the past, at the same time we don't want to forget that all of us, students and instructors alike, are in this to have FUN. As an instructor, you are key to making the course enjoyable and rewarding and to bringing new climbers into the club. Some things you can do are:
- Get To Know the Students – Introduce yourself and take time to talk to them and acquaint them with Mountaineer Activities. Share your experience and knowledge.
- Be Patient – Most of the students will have had little or no mountaineering experience. It's easy to make false assumptions about their knowledge and ability. Also, because someone takes longer to learn a skill doesn't mean that he or she will be any less able to apply it in the long run.
- Be Supportive and Instill Confidence – Inform the students that safety is a prime consideration and that field trip activities are conducted under tightly controlled conditions.
- Maintain High Standards – If you condone substandard performance, you debase the entire course.
- Challenge the Students – Push the students to their limit; make them proud of their accomplishments.
- HAVE FUN – If you're having fun as the instructor, so are the students.
Look at these happy scrambling students from our 2015 Intense Scrambling Course!
Teaching Standards
- Responsibility – Remember that the things you teach will be the foundation on which all of a student's future climbing is supported. How well you do your job will be a major factor in determining how good and safe a climber he or she will be and how well you are belayed on the climbs you lead.
- Be an Example – As an instructor, you are a representative of the Mountaineers. All instructors should set the example by meeting or exceeding the standards expected of the students.
- Preparation – On some field trips you will be assigned a group of students and stay with them all day. On others, you will be assigned a topic(s) to teach and may be rotated to other stations during the day. Therefore, you must be prepared to teach any and all of the material to be covered on that field trip. Please take time before the trip to review pertinent material in [your committee's] manual and in Freedom 8. Remember, things may have changed since you took the Basic Course.
- Instructional Material – The Basic Course teaches a STANDARD set of skills that can be safely used by all climbers under a wide range of conditions. PLEASE DO NOT TEACH SHORTCUTS AND TRICKS-OF-THE-TRADE TO BASICS STUDENTS – TEACH ONLY THE APPROVED METHODS. While you have the experience and judgment to know when one can safely deviate from standard procedures few, if any, of the students possess this knowledge. In addition, teaching standardized methods makes it easier for the students to learn and reduces confusion.
- Safety – Most, if not all, of the students are new to climbing and may be unaware of the consequences of their actions. Be alert for unsafe acts on their part and use every opportunity to stress safety. Continuously check the students and stress that they must check and double-check both themselves and their fellow climbers.
