Don't forget to document your phone conversations!
As a Special Education teacher, I know how important it is to document everything, but I will be the first to admit that when things get crazy I don't always do the best job of logging my phone conversations. Sometimes a parent calls when I'm not right by my desk, or when I'm rushing out the door to pick up my own kids from school. I scribble some notes on the first piece of paper or Post-it note I can find, and drop it in my file. This year I vowed to have a more systematic way of logging phone conversations, and making sure that I was following up with parents. Sometimes there are things I need to do on my end before I follow up with parents, so I create this phone log with that in mind. I plan to make a binder that I can keep near my desk or take with me to log conversations as they happen. Worst case scenario, if I have to grab a scratch piece of paper, at least I will have a central location to transfer the information to once I am able to do so. With only one call per page, it will be easy to copy if needed for inclusion in a student's file or evidence of communication should any disputes arise.

11 Questions…Answered
*Since I was nominated by two different bloggers, I'm going to pick a selection of 11 questions from each of their blogs! It takes a long time to answer these questions!
1. What's your guilty pleasure?
I love to sit outside at Starbucks with a Pumpkin Spice latte, people watching and enjoying the crisp fall air.
2. What's your favorite part of starting the school year?
I love meeting my students and meeting the teachers that I will be working with. There is so much positive energy at the beginning of the year. I wish I could bottle it up and save it for February!
3. What's the worst thing about starting the school year?
Getting up early and getting everybody back into a our school routine.
4. What advice would you give to teachers for starting the new school year?
Take the time to organize yourself now because three weeks from now, you won't have time! Putting in the extra work to plan and prepare seems tedious, but the payoff is huge. Many new teachers skip the planning part because they think that they have it "all in their head". You don't. You are a better teacher when you plan.
5. What is your favorite professional book?
I am constantly referring to my book "Behavior Management" by John Maag.
6. Where did you study and what was your degree in?
I have a bachelor's degree in Fine Art from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I also have a Master's degree in Special Education from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, plus I'm just 3 credits away from another Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction in Art Education.
7. How many years' experience do you have?
I will be starting my 4th year of teaching. I also spent also spent 3 year working as a para-educator which was trial by fire and a great learning experience. I have a lot of respect for paras.
8. What is your opinion on the Common Core?
I have lived and taught in two of the five states (Nebraska and Texas) that don't use Common Core, so I'm not as familiar with it as I probably should be. I am anxious to learn more about it.
9. Give me a book recommendation and tell us why.
The best book I read this summer was "Cinder" by Marissa Meyer. I love books that turn familiar stories on their head, and make you look at it from a different perspective. This book is part of the Lunar Chronicles. I also love series because I when I finish one book, I can move on to the next one!
10. Coffee VS tea?
Coffee, for sure! My Verismo machine will definitely be accompanying me to school this year.
11. Is the glass half-empty or half-full?
The glass is always half-full. There is no point in going through life any other way!

New Teacher To-Do List for Special Education Teachers
If you are a special education teacher, the beginning of your year looks a little differently than it does for the content area teachers. Unless you are teaching an intervention class, you probably don't have a room to prepare and you aren't busy thinking about lesson plans. It can feel like there really isn't anything to do except get your office organized and wait to meet your students. At least that is how I felt my first year. I didn't know where to start.
While there is an element of waiting involved because you need to assess the students on your caseload before you can really begin any intervention, there are some things you can be working on during those teacher workdays to get yourself ahead of the game.
1. Get your caseload. First things first: you need to know who your students are before you can really start doing much of anything. Your Special Education coordinator should have this information, more or less, by the start of the school year. There are always little last minute changes, but you should have a solid list by the time you show up for teacher workdays.
2. Make student files/folders. I like to have one manila folder to keep each student's important data. Don't make it complicated, or you won't use it.
3. Figure out your student's class schedules. This is also a good thing to staple onto the front your student folder, and stick a copy in your teacher binder. This comes in handy when you are trying to locate students for progress monitoring.
4. Create your teacher information binder.
5. Write a letter to parents, introducing yourself as their child's case manager. It's good to make that first connection early. Starting out on the right foot with parents will set your year up for success. Open communication between parents and teachers is essential when it comes to helping your students meet their IEP goals for the year.
6. Familiarize yourself with your student's IEP and MDT information. This is a great way to get to know your students before you meet them. You can learn their strengths, what they worked on last year, and most importantly their goals for the upcoming year. It is also a good idea to note if you have any yearly review meetings right of the bat, so you can get everything in order. **More on that in a future post!**
7. Locate the assessment materials you will need for progress monitoring. Sometimes these can be hidden away in a book closet, or have been unintentionally hoarded by another teacher (gasp!). Ask around. Find out what your school and your district approves for math, reading, and writing probes. You will probably receive some information about this at new teacher orientation. You will want these materials ready to go in the first couple weeks so that you can assess where your students are at, and use the assessments to begin working on strategies with them.
7. Introduce yourself to your co-teachers, and schedule a time to plan together. Take the initiative and get this relationship off to the best start. A great co-teaching relationship can be a wonderful experience, but an poor one can make your year seem 18 months long. Show your co-teacher that you are ready and willing to jump in and be by his/her side, not standing in the back of the room.
Hopefully, this will help new Special Education teachers figure out where to start on those first few days. Don't worry, once the year gets going, you won't have any trouble finding things to do!!
I'm live on Teachers Pay Teachers!
I love Teachers Pay Teachers. As I was working on my beginning of the year things, I started playing around with making them more…attractive. Then, I decided that if I was going to go to that much work to make my stuff look nice, I might as well share. I don't expect to join the 20K club anytime soon, but I would be happy if you found the stuff I made useful and shared with your teacher friends! Go check out my Special Education Teacher Binder on TpT and let me know what you think. Thanks!
Beginning of the year: Teacher Binders
There is nothing like hitting the ground running, only to realize that the group left an hour ago. That's why getting organized right from the start is so important. There are so many ways to organize your stuff. Most of my masters are on my USB drive, which has made it easy to move from one place to another. I also keep a school binder, so that I have all of my important information for the year in one place. Last year, our school actually gave every teacher a school binder which I thought was brilliant, but you can easier make your own. There are lots of great tutorials and resources online from which to choose. I also usually have separate binders for my student data (because I teach Special Education, and I have a lot of it!), and my behavior monitoring/goal-sheet data. I have also found binders useful for keeping blackline masters handy and easily accessible.
There are some great resources out there on TpT for teacher binders and classroom organizers aimed specifically at middle school/high school teachers. I've listed some of my my favorite below. You can also find a great example of how to organize your binder by clicking in the image above from Beyond the Grades.
1. I found this classroom organizer from The SuperHERO Teacher on TpT. It is fully editable in PowerPoint, and contains over 70 pages to get your year started right. I choose the black/white one because printing in color can be really expensive, but she has other cute color combo's if you want!
2. This editable Sub Binder is also from The SuperHERO Teacher. No one plans to be gone in the first couple weeks, so this can get overlooked. It's better to be prepared, than to have to scramble to through things together if you have an emergency come up.
3. Finally, there is this fantastic Back-to-School Binder from Presto Plans. It has 90 pages of organizational goodness, and it comes both blue/grey chevron and black/pink zebra print!
Do you have an awesome way to organize all of your things at the beginning of the year? Share out in the comments! Also, be sure to follow my blog and like me on Facebook and Pinterest. Thanks!
Classroom Organization Tips
The school year is just around the corner. It is about this time every year that I start to really think about how I want to organize my classroom. I will be in a new classroom this year, and while some may be dismayed at the thought of changing classrooms, I always look at it as an opportunity to reassess my organization strategies. My biggest challenge is organizing myself in a way that is simple enough to maintain when the year really gets going. I have found some ideas around the web that are definitely worth a look. (There are some amazingly organized teachers out there!)
1. Daily work files: Create daily work files at the beginning of the week with lesson plans, all the copies you need, and any supplemental material. I did this last year, and it was a life saver. It is especially helpful if you switch classrooms during the day, or if you happen to be gone unexpectedly.
2. Have a place to put missed work. Teach students to be responsible for finding missed lessons when they are absent or out of the classroom by utilizing a system like this pocket chart, or an absent bin. (Of course, with all the engagement we will be doing in our classrooms, it will be hard to put it in a file folder!)
3. Color code your room. I am a visual person, so I love this idea! This middle school math and science teacher from To the Square Inch share her strategy for keeping things organized by using one color for each class, so that student can quickly locate their guided notes, supplies and know where to put their homework. Brilliant!
4. Make supplies accessible. If you use collaborative teaching groups in your classroom, this one is for you. We know that middle school students will take advantage of every opportunity to get out of their seats, so bring the supplies to them! I have also seen this done with crates that sit in the middle of each pod.
5. Crates, drawers, and containers…oh, my! You can't have enough of these invaluable items in your classroom. If things have a designated location, they will have a better chance of making it back to that location. Let's face it middle school teachers, we could take a lesson or two from our elementary friends when it comes to cute and organized, right? Kindertrips, Following my Heart to First (she used to be a 6th grade teacher!), and this amazing site about Getting Organized have some really creative ways to get your year started off right.
I hope you found something useful that you can incorporate into your classroom this year! Be sure to follow my blog here and on Facebook for more great resources and stories about middle school! If you are a Texas middle school teacher, I would love to add your blog to my collection, and have you contribute to this blog! Let's connect!
Welcome to my blog! Whether you are a Special Education teacher, or just someone interested in education, I hope that you will find the information here helpful. This blog is growing and changing based on current education issues, and reader interest. Please let me know what you are interested in knowing more about. If you would like me to add your education blog to my site, email me and I will make it happen. Together we can build a great meeting place for Special Education teachers and General Education teachers to connect and collaborate with each other in ways that can only improve our teaching and foster learning in our students. Thanks for reading, sharing and contributing. I can't wait to see what we come up with this year!

|Sick as a Dog!
Unfortunately that came crashing down this past week when I came down with a sinus infection and cold. Last Saturday I had a long run of only 10 miles (recovery week), but during my run I noticed my throat was really sore - I hoped it was just the cold air I was breathing in. After I got home, showered, stretched, etc I realized I was getting sick - CRAP! Saturday for the most part I felt ok, it was just that my throat was on fire. By Sunday, I knew I was coming down with something, but I decided I would still try to get in a bike ride on my trainer. As the day progressed I felt worse and worse. I tried to still do "something" most days whether it be a 2 or 3 mile walk/run or a few miles on the bike, but I didn't have much energy to dedicate to training, but so close to my first marathon I knew I had to keep doing something. Finally on Thursday I broke down and went to the Dr. where I found out I had a sinus infection (and cold), but I was given a Zpak antibiotic (yea!!!!). By Friday I was feeling much better and yesterday I was feeling ok enough to go for a 15 mile run. I was supposed to do 21.....but knew there was no way I could do my longest run to date feeling the way I was.
That missed 21 miler is going to hurt my training schedule a bit, but that's ok, I'm going to make it work - so 21 miles this weekend. I am hopeful to feel back to 100% so I can have a good running week overall. I really need it.
Anyway, in spite of the illness I still managed to rack up a few points this week in the HBBC!
Miles Walked/Ran - 17 miles = 17 points (1 point for each mile)
Miles Bike - 27 Miles = 9 points (1 point for each 3 miles biked)
Hours Strength Training - 1 hour and 20 minutes= 4 points (1 point for every 20 minutes)

Today, companies merge suddenly and frequently for a variety of reasons - some of those reasons can be a really good thing, but some can introduce a variety of risks that can cause performance to fall short of expectations.
Here are three areas to be aware of and monitor as your vendor acquires another.
1. Possible Financial Consequences
Acquisitions require a significant cost. While mergers can eventually result in cost-savings by eliminating redundancies, the process of merging two companies is still costly - for example, legal fees and consulting fees.
If your vendor needs to cut costs, it can have a domino effect.
- The fastest way to cut cost? By cutting staff.
- What follows staff cuts? Declining service levels. And, that's not just defined by how long it takes to answer the phone to call you back.
- Cost reductions in the operations will also likely mean a decrease in staff who are charged with maintaining the security and integrity of the system. That's when your financial institution could find itself at a heightened risk.
- You'll likely also find a significant reduction in spending on product development. Will the software that you are using become a legacy product that will be sunsetted? This could result in bugs, unresolved issues, long waiting periods, downtimes and more.
2. Decrease In Innovation and Development
If your vendor acquires another vendor, funds may be going towards the acquisitions to maximize their profits, which can ultimately be at the expense of developmental budgets. This can mean delayed software enhancements (often needed by financial institutions to keep up with changing regulations), or as mentioned above, lead to security issues like bugs, unresolved issues and delayed patches.
3. Integration Challenges
Two companies can have completely different cultures. While both have a place, one of the biggest challenges many merging vendors find is in integrating them.
During a time of uncertainty there can also be distress among employees. Roles that overlapped between the firms can cause competition internally. Layoffs or departures are common, which can have an ultimate impact on the customer service and support you receive. There is also the risk that the vendor ends up with surplus employees in some departments adding unnecessary cost.
10 Tips For What You Can Do
- Watch for key management departures – and determine if the new team has adequate experience to do the job well
- Be alert for changes in responsiveness or support
- Be alert for fluctuations in service levels
- Watch for if your relationship manager suddenly changed
- If publicly traded, did the stock market react favorably or lots of bad news speculations?
- Carefully consider your alternatives – can you speak with someone at the company to have them address any questions or concerns? Are there additional steps you may need to consider?
- If things go well, still take the opportunity to update your due diligence documentation and risk assessment of the relationship
- If things start to go poorly, take the time to update your exit strategy, just in case its necessary
- Consult experts in your company and elsewhere, if needed, so that you make appropriate decisions
- Keep your senior management team and board well-informed and seek their input

5 Tools to Harvest the Potential of Your Firefox Bookmarks
Firefox is an incredibly versatile and flexible tool that offers a lot of possibilities for individual customization.
An integral part of browsing the internet is collecting URLs or favorites, better known as bookmarks within the Mozilla browser family.
The integrated Firefox bookmarks however are rarely used to their full potential.
Here is a selection of tools that will help you get quick and easy access to your most important bookmarks.
Bookmarks Toolbar
The Bookmarks Toolbar provides instant access to a small collection of your most favorite and most visited websites. You can even add folders with bookmarks to this toolbar.
However, with just text, the Bookmarks Toolbar is rather bleak. You can easily spruce it up and save a ton of space by installing the Smart Bookmarks Bar extension, which replaces the text with the site's favicon. Further settings are up to you.
I love the Bookmarks Toolbar, but I notoriously run out of space and have to pool URLs into folders or move them to the main bookmarks section. If that is not an option for you, maybe Multirow Bookmarks Toolbar extension can help. It does what it says and extends the toolbar to multiple rows.
Bookmarks in Tabs
A pretty cool option seen in Google's Chrome browser is when thumbnails of your favorite pages appear once the browser is loaded as well as in every new tab. There are extensions for Firefox that provide you with similar features
Fast Dial integrates this feature, which was originally introduced by the Opera browser, into Firefox. You can choose whether you launch a tab with your favorite websites manually using [CTRL] + [T] or make it your homepage by defining "about:blank" as such. Per default it will appear in every blank tab.
Auto Dial is similar but different. Rather than listing your favorite sites, something that you can influence by manually adding pages in Fast Dial, Auto Dial displays only your most frequently visited pages in a blank tab. Furthermore, it does not display thumbnails, which makes room for many more bookmarks.
Bookmarks Tab has a slightly different approach. It displays all of your bookmarks in the center of every new tab you open. This may serve both as a reminder of all the links you have collected as well has a HUB from where you can dive into the net.
With these extensions you will always have your favorite bookmarks right at your fingertips. Which bookmark tools do you love to make use of?

Gratitude * Sunday
Sunday's heartfelt tradition.
A time to slow down, to reflect, to be grateful.
A list of gratitudes, our gratefulness feeds one another.
Quoted from Taryn Wilson
Joining the Gratitude Sunday Tradition at Wooly Moss Roots.
Sunday Haiku
Blue sky laced by strings
of wet pearly clouds on a
gray velvet pillow.
Sunday Musings
Oh, what a relief to have a month's anticipation done and Christmas Day over. The family parties and traveling are finished. The colorful paper has been ripped and shiny ribbons tossed everywhere. Mister Kitty preferred the ribbons to the little plastic balls with the bells inside them. Gifts have been deposited in the room where they live and incorporated into the household. Christmas tree sales stands and signs have disappeared for another year and after-Christmas sales are almost over; I found a couple cheap rolls of colorful Christmas paper on sale this weekend with hardly any other shoppers to impede my progress.
The tree still lurks in my living room growing crispier every day. It will come down on New Year's Day, windows and doors wide open to bring in the new year and sweep out the old. In the meantime the coniferous hulk remains lit every day to prevent a gloomy looming quality it takes on as it crisps and gravity begins to take its toll as the lean of the tree in its stand becomes more pronounced.
It's time to ring in the new year. I love to change the calendars after midnight on the first day of the year in the most wee hours, so when I wake in the morning the new year is set in place. Ornaments will be boxed and stored one more year. Out goes the tree. Out comes the white table cloth. Doors and windows are opened, rain or shine, warm or cold, sandalwood incense is paraded through every room and the new year is welcomed into my house.
Funny little traditions each person has. At midnight I open the door to the fresh night air and blow the small collection of noisemakers we have to wake and shake the neighborhood, making as much noise as I can with them. I hear other noisemakers around the block. I yell for the neighborhood and the universe to hear, "Happy New Year. Thank you for the old year. You are here. You take up space. You matter." Me too. Wherever you are open a window or a door at midnight and make a joyful noise.
Color Watch – colorful attractions in my neighborhoods this week – color shows up in interesting ways this time of year: faded rose hips gone from lime green last July to bright red in October to this faded orange before they rot or are pruned off; fluffy pale yellow blooms of fungus; I love the blend of textures and colors in this picture: the green moss, the yellow fungus bloom, the brown bark, ash-white lichens, a bit of exposed reddish-colored root, and gray stones; a bronze leathery leaf surfs atop red berried spikes; earth prepares for a blossoming spring, the pale green pre-leaves of an iris bed, shiny yellow green spears of daffodil, bright green hyacinth heads; soft emeralds of moss; and holiday red berries and green leaves.
Currently Reading – Out on the Porch: An Evocation in Pictures and Words (1992, history) by Reynolds Price; I Work at a Public Library: A Collection of Crazy Stories from the Stacks (2014, humor) by Gina Sheridan; Water Exercises for Osteoarthritis (2007, exercise therapy) by Ann Rosenstein. Yes, concurrently.
This week I have been grateful for:
- Family finding time to gather together and deciding to try a barbecue gathering in the summer in addition to Christmas.
- Because I don't need much, the lovely small thoughtful gifts I received.
- Knowing the things I want are just that: things I want, and not necessary to make my life or living better.
- Giving. To myself. To others.
- Sight and vision.
- The insight and visions of others.
- Rural air unspoiled by pollution. My neighborhood still smells of rain washed trees, rich damp soil, and the occasional whiff from the farmers's fields nearby.
- Being done with Christmas for another year.
- Looking forward to the new year.
- The return of the light.
- Frog song from under my front porch.
- This moment. And this. And this.
- Water.
Hoping you have a lovely week.
Namaste. Peace. Blessings.

GRAND RAPIDS — It's the time of year for the second annual Brewers Grove event. I've had the chance to try four of the 24 tree beers at the Brewers Grove kickoff party, held Friday at Harmony Brewing Company.
All of these beers, in addition to the 20 others available, will be on tap at participating breweries through Sept. 12. All of the beers have some sort of interpretation around the idea of trees, with each brewery using its own creativeness to work this idea into a beer.
Harmony Brewing Sumac Attack, 5.5% ABV
A cloudy brew sits before me that looks just like apple cider. Hints of ruby red highlights appear among the dark amber liquid. It has a creamy mouthfeel, but with an excellent acidic tang throughout. This finishes bright and slightly tart.
I detect subtle notes of lemon zest, clove, and a vegetal character in the flavor. Banana notes that are in the background and latch onto that creamy mouthfeel, enhancing each other. The malt character is overpowered by the acidic tang, but does still come through as subtle bread notes.
In the nose this beer comes to me as pear and apple with just a little dab of bread forward malt.
White Flame Nut Job, 5.5% ABV
A pitch black beer with a tan head. Upon tasting, I detect a thin body and overall mouthfeel. It feels perhaps thinner than one would expect from such a robust looking brew. In the nose I smell burnt grain/toast and this carries into the flavor as well. I'm also detecting a slight nuttiness — perhaps walnuts — right before the finish.
Despite the foreboding appearance, this beer is extremely sessionable, though pretty one-dimensional. A more diversified grain bill might have given this beer a bit more complexity. Giving it a slight creamy character and playing more on the nuttiness of it would be to their advantage. Despite the fact that it is playing on one note, that feature would make it a pretty good pairing with french vanilla ice cream. It would add that roasted quality but wouldn't overpower the somewhat delicate nature of the vanilla and would instead allow it to shine through.
Brewery Vivant Devastation: Bourbon Barrel Aged Belgian Style DIPA, 9.3% ABV
A very slight haziness in the beer and white head sit on top of the burnished gold to light amber colored liquid. The flavor includes exceptionally strong notes of bourbon with a bit of vanilla. The light spice character is reminiscent of clove. In the aroma I detect mango and very ripe peach, along with strong vanilla and a punch of Bourbon.
The brew drinks quite hot and has medium-high carbonation levels. The sweet and boozy character sticks to the roof of the mouth. In the finish I get that strike of hot booziness as well as a hint of dark cherry while the vanilla lingers.
Gravel Bottom Cedarino: Cedar Pale Ale, 7.1% ABV
The beer has dropped very bright and is a perfect light amber/honey brown color. There are subtle notes of sweet cedar, honey and bread on the nose and an almost rye grain-like spicy character that moves all the way into the finish.
I have confirmed with the brewer that there is in fact no rye in the grain bill, but the way the America hop varieties and the Spanish cedar interact it causes a spicy and biting character (similar to rye) for my tongue.
Both the hops and the cedar are working well together to create new flavors. I applaud the close attention the brewer paid to this interaction because it's not easy to do. The mouthfeel is also smooth and silky all the way until the medium dryness in the finish. Besides the cedar, I detect resin, pine-forward American hops and granola in the flavor, but it's more cedar-like and hop forward in the nose. Overall this is well balanced and is just begging to be paired with food.

When you're planning a new or renovated building it is both satisfying and incredibly reassuring to see your ideas 'materialise' in the form of designs and sketches from the building designer. Until that point, it's difficult to feel confident that the ideas in your head have been communicated as you intended.
If you are planning a development of residential apartments or commercial units, however, the need to visualise the end product is even greater. Potential buyers and business tenants are far more likely to commit to a project that they can envision.
Though sketches and 2D floor plans can still play a role, in this day and age technology has enabled the best building designers to go several steps further to create realistic and immersive 3D visualisations of completed projects. For building owners looking to sell units off the plan, this is an immensely powerful capability, as it enables prospective buyers to not only see still images of what certain rooms might look like, but to explore every aspect and element from numerous angles and vantage points.
This latter capability is afforded via 360° Rendered Tours that enable viewers to immerse themselves in a realistic 3D environment that they can view via phone, smart device or, for an even more heightened experience, VR goggles. The viewer can select key viewpoints placed around the interior and exterior of each property to create a realistic 360° Tour of an as-yet-unbuilt premises, as if it already physically existed. Click here to view an example of a 360° Rendered Tour.
Although this level of visualisation is leaps and bounds from old-school building blueprints and sketches, it's not the only tool that developers can use to aid in the selling of off-the-plan units. 3D animated videos enable an even greater level of detail and realism, with thousands of still 3D renders being merged together to create seamless flowing video actualisations which are further enhanced by highly realistic animated effects such as human and animal movement, breeze and pollen in the air, branches swaying in the wind, fire burning in fireplaces, and even moving cars. When viewing these videos via device or 3D googles, prospective buyers will no longer simply be imagining their potential future home or investment, they'll be immersed in, and engaged with, it. Click here to view an example of a 3D animated video.
Of course, it's not all about the moving image: still images also play an important role in marketing, and these can be created in the form of 3D Still Renders, which are panoramic snapshots adapted from 360° Rendered Tours and 3D Animation Videos. These 3D Still Renders are useful when showcasing designs on websites, magazines, signage and other advertising platforms where prospective buyers are not in a position to experience the more immersive options.
At Urban&Co our in-house building designers can create a large range of designs, from standard to bespoke, across residential, commercial and industrial dwellings and use our in-house software to model the entire project to scale. Every architectural structure, piece of equipment and all landscaping is individually sculpted to represent a lifelike appearance, with specific elements of lighting and texture even being taken into consideration.
Using real images and references, the exact colours and textures can be applied to the model. We then program each texture to reflect the sunlight in its true form, and apply shadowing to convince the human eye that what it is seeing is realistic. For those planning private residences, these 3D and VR capabilities are an exciting resource, and for commercial developers they are also an invaluable sales tool.
Call Urban&Co on 0409 111 699 or email email@example.com to arrange your free initial development consultation.

A new solar thermal hot watertechnology delivers more ef-ficient heating than comparabletechnologies, but field testing by the GSAfound that the systems are likely onlycost-effective in certain applications.As part of its Green Proving Groundinitiative, GSA installed honeycomb solarthermal collectors on two buildings (theMajor General Emmett J. Bean Centerin Indianapolis and the GSA RegionalHeadquarters Building in Auburn, WA)to determine whether the system deliv-ers on its claims of high efficiency andminimal system heat loss compared toconventional solar thermal collectors.
Flat-plate solar thermal systems use
a flat solar collection surface to capture
sunlight, which is used to heat fluid that
is then directed into a storage tank. Honeycomb models place transparent insulation in the shape of a honeycomb above
the energy-collecting surface, which
allows solar radiation to pass through to
the collection surface while suppressing
convection to minimize heat loss.
Compared to conventional flat-plate
collectors, GSA's field tests found that the
honeycomb technology delivered higher
instant efficiency than all of the other
systems in configurations where higher
fluid temperatures are needed but tended
to underperform when the needed fluid
temperature is lower (i.e. in the range
of 140 degrees F., the most common application).
The honeycomb technology wouldlikely be much more efficient in applica-tions where thefluid entering thecollector is alwaysclose to the 140-de-gree hot watersetpoint, such ashot water hydronicloop reheating andspace heating. Theapplication simu-lated for this studyrequired a muchlower average inletfluid temperature.
The systems
were not cost-effective for either
of the buildings
in the study, in part due to the high
upfront cost. However, the systems could
deliver cost-savings in some applications.
Consider solar thermal hot water if your
building has:
1) Central domestic hot water. Facilities with small, decentralized point-of-use systems are not applicable for solar
thermal installations. Large central systems offer an economy of scale, according
to the report.
2) Large hot water loads. Does your
facility have kitchens, heated pools, and
showers? Solar thermal systems may be
a good match, assuming your water loads
are consistent throughout the week and
year. "The larger the load being offset,
the more cost-effective the systems," GSA
3) High energy costs. "The naturalgas industry has experienced significantcost reductions over the last few years,"GSA says. "The economics of the solarthermal system is sensitive to fuel sourcecosts. The unit cost of energy from elec-tricity is many times higher than naturalgas in certain locations. Solar water heat-ing also competes with the high costs ofpropane and fuel oil."GSA recommends using a detailedsub-hourly simulation program to calcu-late lifecycle costs and optimize cost-effectiveness when exploring whether toinstall solar hot water at a facility. Thesystem should be modeled with SRCC-rated solar thermal panel performancedata, which will ensure that you end upwith the right size of system and provideyou with accurate analysis.
The unit cost of electricity at the Bean Center (above) is 5. 5 cents/k Wh. GSA calculated the simple payback period from the annual cost savings and the
initial installed cost of the eight-panel solar hot water system. The electricity cost at the GSA Regional Building in Washington (below) was higher – 9. 6
cents/k Wh – but the savings were not high enough to offset the high installed cost for the four-panel installation, which was roughly 10 times higher
than expected. This may be due to the technology's inclusion in the Green Proving Ground program – GSA hypothesizes that vendors included a large
contingency to cover potential complications.

IN A HONEYCOMB SOLAR THERMAL COLLECTOR, the honeycomb-shaped
insulation uppresses convection to minimize heat loss while still allowing
solar radiation to reach the energy-collecting surface.

Dentures replace teeth that have become loose or have been lost due to bone loss. Replacing lost teeth with dentures allows you to eat and talk as naturally as possible.
Missing a couple of teeth might be a massive inconvenience for people but missing most or even all of your teeth quickly becomes a nightmare, making even simple activities like eating and speaking embarrassingly difficult. Dr. Shyam Shivareddy can help you regain your smile with a custom-made full or partial denture.
Both designs are personalized to suit your mouth and restorative needs, and because they're removable, they are easily cleaned and stored. Let's get into some of the characteristics of full and partial dentures.
Full dentures, also called complete dentures, are made to fit either the entire upper or lower arch of the mouth. They can be conventional, which means they are placed after the mouth has healed, and all teeth have been removed, or they can be immediate, in which they are placed immediately after the teeth have been removed before the mouth has healed.
Immediate dentures may be convenient, but they will need to be adjusted once the gums have healed due to how much the jawbone will shrink during the healing process. Getting conventional dentures requires you to be without teeth for several weeks or months, but they will be fitted to the gums and won't need adjusting for a while as long as you care for them.
Partial dentures come in two types – fixed or removable. Partial dentures are also known as bridges and use your remaining teeth to replace any teeth that are missing in the mouth. Depending on the position of the missing tooth and adjacent teeth, your dentist may recommend several different kinds of bridges. They can also be supported by implants, which gives you even more security when it comes to getting partial dentures placed.
At our Hartford, CT Crest Family Dental practice, you can find many options to restore your smile and oral health. Schedule an appointment in our office to learn more about your options for dentures.

World's Strongest Man Channel 5 Talent
The UK broadcast of the Commerce World's Strongest Man will be on Channel 5 this Christmas time. Standby for a full schedule soon. In antipication we are pleased to announce the talent for the Channel 5 edition.
James Richardson presents the entire series encompassing the Giants Live Qualifiers, and for The Finals in Botswana he is joined by Sarah-Jane Crawford and the mighty Magnus Ver Magnusson.
James is a familiar face to millions on Channel 5 at this time of year, and has been hosting the channel's WSM coverage since 2011. He first came to fame in the 90's on Channel 4's Football Italia, and when not strength training at the gym he now also hosts Premier League football around the world and Champions League for BT Sport, as well as helming the Uk's no 1 sports podcast, the Guardian's Football Weekly. As well as presenting The Finals in Botswana, James guides us through the Giants Live International Qualifiers as well.
We'd like to welcome Sarah-Jane Crawford to WSM. The multi-talented TV presenter / DJ / actress / model, can turn her hand to anything! Her stints on The Xtra Factor as well as hosting her own show on BBC Radio 1xtra, to name just a few of the productions she's been involved with, have made her one of the most in demand presenters right now. With a passion for fitness and all things vegan (she has a Vegan app being launched early in 2017) Sarah-Jane joins the team for The Finals in Botswana. Watch out for a film release – 'Hatton Garden Job' that stars Sarah-Jane, due for release in March 2017.

What can we say about Magnus Ver Magnusson that hasn't already been said? The words 'Icon', 'Legend', 'Champion' all apply… and now 'TV presenter'. The 4-time WSM champ will guide us through the more technical aspects of some of the events and lends his expert opinion on who to look out for as the stories unfold in Botswana.
And that's not all. For shows focusing on The Finals in Botswana we've been lucky enough to have the very talented Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje voice the openers and features. Adewale has been on our TV and film screens in the form of Mr Eko from the hit series LOST. He also appeared in the 5th season of Game of Thrones as Malko. Adewale has also starred in several high profile films including The Bourne Identity, The Mummy Returns, Concussion and most recently Suicide Squad.
Gripping the commentators microphones are Colin Bryce and Danny Wallace.
Danny is a writer of bestselling books, presenter and former XFM Breakfast show DJ, and has a panache for frequently popping up when you least expect him as any Assassin's Creed fan knows. His weekly columns in Shortlist Magazine have gained a cult-like status, and since 2015 Danny has been the lead commentator on WSM.
Colin Bryce is a central pillar in the super-sized World of Strongman. He has been involved in the World's Strongest Man contest since 1996, when his then job was the bruising task of being the contest kit tester. Since then, the Britain's Strongest Man Finalist turned Winter Olympian has built up the Giants Live Qualifying Tour to give new talent a chance to compete with the greats of the sport in one-day Arena based contests. Colin joined the WSM commentary team in 2005 and since then he hasn't released his grip on the expert's microphone – which he will no doubt claim to be another Strongman World Record!
A full listing of the UK Channel 5 schedule will be posted soon.

Summer can be challenging for Loveland medical chopper crews
LOVELAND, Colo. (AP) — This is one helicopter Kris Schott won't be jumping out of — that's a good thing, given that the people aboard are often in need of life-saving measures.
Schott gave up piloting and jumping out of military helicopters full time to become a flight paramedic for UCHealth's LifeLine medical helicopter based out of Medical Center of the Rockies in Loveland.
"Flying is still exhilarating," he said. "It can be incredibly stressful, but I thrive on the challenge."
And summer can be a challenging season for LifeLine pilots, who at times are required to land in tight spots where elevation and heat can test their skills.
"Usually the higher you go the cooler it is, but in summer it can still get pretty hot," LifeLine pilot Wes Smith said. "Anytime you have to land in a tight spot at altitude with heat, it can get stressful."
Last year, the UCHealth LifeLine helicopter flew 26 outdoor-related missions, about 10 percent of its annual calls. A large number of LifeLine calls include transferring patients from one hospital to another that's better equipped to treat them. But last year's outdoor calls included people who were injured while horseback riding or hiking, or were snake-bit or hurt on the water.
"I was the rattlesnake guy, flew a lot of rattlesnake bite calls," said Schott, who has been obsessed with helicopters since he was a kid and whose favorite TV show growing up was "Airwolf." The show ran for four years in the mid-1980s and was based on the crew flying a high-tech military helicopter on exotic missions.
His current job combines his two passions: helicopters and medicine.
'A flying intensive care unit the size of a Volkswagen'
UCHealth LifeLine's Northern Colorado program includes four pilots, 12 nurses and six paramedics who work 12-hour rotating shifts. When they aren't up in the air, they are stationed at Medical Center of the Rockies, where their red and white helicopter is visible atop the hospital along Interstate 25. They study training material and check supplies among other duties until they get the call.
Then a day can go from laid-back to a life-altering in a matter of minutes.
"We are able to bring things to a scene that an ambulance isn't necessarily going to have,'" Schott said. "And we have an ICU nurse on board. Really, this is a flying intensive care unit the size of a Volkswagen."
Hilary Fischer worked in the ICU for six years before reaching her goal of becoming a LifeLine helicopter nurse.
"I knew I wanted to do this as soon as I found out nurses could do this," she said. "As a nurse, you see other providers giving care. I got to the point where I realized I can make those decisions the providers were making. This is really the only job where nurses get to make those decisions."
Fischer said the intensive training the crew continually undergoes keeps things real when they arrive on scene.
"If we're going, someone is having a bad day," she said. "It's probably stressful for the patient though sometimes it can be stressful for us. A little stress keeps you on top of your game."
To fly or not to fly
Last month, the crew received a new helicopter. The B3E replaced the B3 the crew had for the past six years. The new helicopter has 100 horsepower more than the old helicopter and autopilot to help pilots fly in the clouds. Smith said the helicopter has a base price tag of $2.5 million and runs around $3 million or more once the medical equipment is added.
Duane Rorie, manager of the UCHealth LifeLine program for Northern Colorado, realizes the cost of a flight can be expensive, and the billing complex. But he said crews evaluate each call as to the need for the helicopter.
"Our concern is: are you sick enough to fly in the helicopter?" Rorie said. "If we go somewhere and we see you have a broken ankle and don't need the helicopter we are not going to fly you."
For Fischer, each call brings its own challenges but the reward is helping people facing critical health needs.
"You have to be creative and solve problems and use what you have on hand," she said. "I love that."

Kacee + Chris's wedding was kind of a bucket list wedding for me to shoot. A couple who plans their wedding in under two months? For a Tuesday? At a location that doesn't even have a GPS address? Check check check! Add in a ring bearer puppy and a restored classic truck and yes, definitely a wedding I couldn't wait to be a part of!
Kacee + Chris met in college, and then in true millenial love story fashion, found each other again through Snapchat. Whatever it was that would bring them back to each other it was absolutely meant to be. Kacee has a wicked sense of humor, like hysterical. The girl is funny. But also super sweet. So sweet that the thing she cared most about for her wedding was that the important people in her life were able to be there. Specifically, making it a time when her father would be there to walk her down the aisle. And he could not have been more there. A proud father in all the ways, he was beaming as he saw his daughter at their first look, beaming as he walked her down that aisle. He kept her smiling and laughing the entire day. When Dad handed Kacee over to Chris, he knew he was handing over his daughter into the most protective, caring and loving hands.
At our first meeting, Chris probably got to talk a little bit less than Kacee and I, but one thing I did learn about Chris was that He. Loves. This. Girl. The smile on his face, the way he watched her and laughed was exactly what you want to see in your couple. Chris's positive, happy personality equals Kacee's perfectly, and they compliment each other in so many ways. Chris also comes from a large, loving family. And you could so obviously tell on the day they married that they adore Kacee just as much.
And then there is Higgs the Dog. Higgs is a one of a kind kinda puppy. He loves hunting and fishing with his dad, but is cuddly and sweet and a total mama's boy. Higgs played a very important role in the wedding in his fancy bow tie, bringing the rings to Chris and Kacee, and posing like a true model for some awesome portraits.
Kacee and Chris's wedding was exactly what they wanted it to be about. Their love for each other, their family and best friends. And it was executed perfectly. I loved that warm, late afternoon in September by a lake with flowers and candles in the waterfall and pure joy and happiness everywhere. Thank you for having me be a part of this gorgeous celebration Kacee, Chris and Higgs!
