text: New York State Certification, Professional Development, English Language Learners Classroom Teachers Resources Author: Research and Educational Services Share This Article... ELT Courses Approved Toward Specific NYS Certification Requirements Frequently Asked Questions pertaining to New York State Teacher Certification FAQ 1 – Professional Certification Requirements Q1:Once I have my Initial certificate, how many years do I have to complete the requirements for a Professional certificate? A1:The Initial certificate is valid for 5 years, during which time you must complete the requirements for the professional certificate. If you cannot complete all the requirements for the professional certificate in that 5-year window, you can apply for a time extension or a re-issuance of your initial certificate using the TEACH system. Q2:Will the State Education Department notify me when my initial certificate is about to expire? A2:Yes. Beginning in the summer of 2017, the State Education Department has begun to notify holders of certificates that will be expiring within 6 months. For this notification to work, the certificate holder must have a valid e-mail address in the TEACH system. Q3:What are the requirements for the professional certificate? A3:The requirements for the professional teaching certificate include: Completion of an Acceptable Graduate Degree 3 Years of Teaching Experience - follow this link for SED guidance on what will count for this require 1 year of Mentored Teaching Completion of the 6-hour DASA workshop Q4:Can I use substitute teaching to fulfill part/all of the 3-year experience requirement? A4:Yes. The substitute teaching experience needs to be in the area or areas for which you are certified to qualify as teaching experience. For example, substitute teaching at the elementary level will not count if you are certified in grades 7-12. Q5:I have been employed as a teaching assistant while I search for a teaching position; will this experience count toward the 3 years? A5:No. Teaching assistant experience is not applicable to this requirement. Q6:What does SED require as evidence to show that I have fulfilled the 3 years of teaching experience requirement? A6:SED requires that you self-report your teaching experience on your TEACH account AND that you complete and submit their 'Verification of Paid Experience Form for Professional and Permanent Certificates, Extensions, Limited Extensions, and Statements of Continued Eligibility' form. Q7:When should I actually apply for the professional, as soon as I have met the requirements or at the end of the five year window? A7:When to apply is entirely up to you. Allow for three to four (3-4) months for the State Education Department to process your application. Q8:I hold Initial certificates in more than one subject (e.g., Childhood Education Grades 1-6 and English 7-12). Must I teach for three years in each subject area to meet the three-year experience requirement for a Professional certificate? A8:No. An individual who holds more than one classroom teaching certificate may meet the requirement with three years of classroom teaching experience in any of the certificate titles. For instance, a teacher who holds the Childhood Education (Grades 1-6) and English 7-12 certificates could satisfy the experience requirement for both certificates by teaching for three years in an elementary classroom, three years as a secondary English teacher, or a combination of both. Please note that service in non-classroom teaching areas such as pupil personnel services or school leadership may not be used to satisfy the experience requirement for classroom teaching. Q9:Once I receive my Initial certificate, I will be enrolling in graduate school. How can I find out which master's degrees will be acceptable toward satisfying the requirements for a Professional certificate? A9:You can go to Professional Certificate - Master's Degree Requirement to see the possible ways to meet the educational requirement for a Professional certificate. In layman's terms, you can: Pursue a graduate degree that leads to another certificate title, in NY or in another state; Pursue a graduate degree in content area of your initial certificate; Pursue a graduate degree that includes 12 credits in the content area or how to teach the content area of your initial certificate. If you earned your initial certification by completing a graduate level teacher education program and that college recommended you for the initial certificate, that same program satisfies the master's degree requirement for the professional certificate. Approved Courses to Fulfill Specific Certification Competency Areas NYSUT's Education & Learning Trust offers undergraduate and graduate courses in partnership that havebeen pre-approved by the NYS Education Department to as fulfill specific certification requirements. These courses are offered in partnership with NYS colleges and are available online and at reduced tuition rates. FAQ 2 – Registering Certificates with the State Education Department A1:The registration process began July 1, 2016. Q2:Exactly when do I need to register? A2:You can register any time after July 1, 2016 and you do not need to wait until your birthday month. SED guidance is that you complete the registration process before the end of your birth month. There is no charge to register. Q3:Who has to register their NYS certificate(s) with the State Education Department (SED)? A3:View SED's Chart for Registration and CTLE Requirements. Note: the term 'Practicing' on SED's chart is defined as 'working more than 90 days or more during a school year by a single applicable school in New York in a position requiring certification. A single day of employment shall include a day actually worked in whole or in part, or a day not actually worked but a day paid.' Q4:Do permanently certified teachers who are not currently working as teachers need to register with the State Education Department? A4: No. According to SED, you could identify yourself as Inactive on your TEACH account or be considered 'Not Registered'. Inactive status means that you have notified SED that you are not practicing (working) in a NYS public school or BOCES. If you resume work in a NYS public school or BOCES then you would be required to change the status to 'registered' SED defines 'Practicing' as employed for 90 days or more during a school year by a single applicable school district or BOCES in a position requiring certification. Q5:Do permanently certified Pupil Personnel Services providers(School Attendance Teachers, School Counselors, School Psychologists, School Social Workers, School Dental Hygiene Teachers and School Nurse Teachers) need to register their certificates? A5:No.Pupil Personnel Service providers are not impacted by this new requirement. Q6:If I am retired and do not register with the State Education Department (SED), does that mean that my permanent certificate is no longer valid? A6:No. A permanent certificate is still a lifetime certificate. If you decide that you want to work in a public school or BOCES at a later date, you will need to register with SED before beginning employment. Q7:Do teaching assistants with pre-2004 continuing certificates need to register their certificates with the State Education Department? A7:No. Q8:Is there a requirement to notify the State Education Department if I move? A8:Yes. Impacted certificate holders are required to notify the State Education Department within 30 days of moving. Address changes can be done on the certification holder's TEACH account. Q9:Is there a fee for this registration process? A9:SED has waived the fee for the first 5-year registration cycle – see SED's June 1, 2016 Field Memo. For the second 5-year registration cycle, regulations stipulate that a late fee of $10.00/month will be charged to certificate holders if they fail to register in the month of their birth. Q10:Do individuals with a Speech and Language Disability certificate need to register? A10:Yes. This certificate title is considered a Classroom Teaching title by SED and thus subject to the registration requirement. Q11:SED includes a series of 'moral character' questions in the registration process. Are they allowed to do this? A11:Yes. SED has the legal authority to ask these 'moral character' questions as well as questions pertaining to child support payments. Similar questions are asked to members of other professions in NYS. Link to SED's June 1, 2016 Field Memo on the certificate registration process and CTLE requirements. FAQ 3 – Continuing Teacher & Leader Education (CTLE) Requirements Q1:Who will be required to complete these continuing teacher education hours? A1:View SED's Chart for Registration and CTLE Requirements Q2: Do teaching assistants with a continuing certificate need to complete CTLE hours? A2:No. Q3:Do these 100 hours of continuing teacher education replace the current professional development hours' requirement for teachers and Level III teaching assistants? A3:Yes. Q4:What will count toward these 100 hours? A4: The new regulations require that the CTLE be rigorous and offered by SED-approved sponsors. The rigorous portion of this requires that CTLE be aligned with the NYS Professional Development Standards. Q5:Who are approved sponsors? A5: School districts are specifically listed in the law as an approved provider for CTLE. Other providers listed in the regulations include BOCES, teacher centers, NYS institutions of higher education, NYSUT's Education & Learning Trust, and other 'professional organizations'. SED is currently developing the process to formally approve all sponsors, those listed above as well as other entities. Q6:When will this "100 hour" requirement begin? A6:The requirement began July 1, 2016 and is aligned with an individual's 5-year registration cycle. A certificate holder's 5-year cycle will end on the last day of the month prior to one's birth month. According to SED, professional development for completed on or after July 1, 2016, but before the individual's birthday month (at which time the individual must register) will be counted toward the 100 CTLE hours' requirement for the first 5-year cycle. Q7:I plan on getting my professional teaching certificate in August 2016; when will these CTLE hours impact me? A7:If you obtain a professional certificate after July 1, 2016, SED will automatically register you upon issuing the certificate. Your CTLE hours will be done in the 5-year registration cycle that begins with you receiving the professional certificate, specifically starting in the month of your birth. After your first 5-year cycle, you will need to register with SED to begin the next cycle. Q8:Can I bank CTLE hours from one 5-year registration period to the next? A8:No Link to SED's June 1, 2016 Field Memo on the certificate registration process and CTLE requirements. Fact Sheets Fact Sheet 17-12: Teacher Certification in New York State All teachers employed in the public schools in New York State must hold a valid certificate and state certification is also required for teachers employed in state-operated and state-supported schools, Special Act school districts, approved private schools for the education of students with disabilities, and approved preschool special education programs. This Fact Sheet provides an overview of the certification process in New York State. Fact Sheet 20-10: NYS Cerification: Students with Disabilities Special education certification has undergone many changes in the past 20 years. Prior to 2004, the special education certificate was considered an 'All Grades' certificate, or K-12. Individuals with this certificate could fulfill any and all assignments related to special education, including special class assignments. Fact Sheet 17-14: NYS Certification in Career and Technical Education The new certification requirements adopted by the Regents in May 2017 utilize the nationally recognized Career Clusters structure as a framework for CTE certification in NYS and streamline the requirements for initial and professional certification in Career and Technical Education. A CTE certificate authorizes the certificate holder to teach a specific CTE subject in an approved career and technical education program in a New York State public high school or BOCES. Fact Sheet 17-11: Registration and CTLE (Teachers) The 2015 New York State budget included requirements for certain certificate holders to register with the State Education Department (SED) and complete Continuing Teacher & Leader Education hours (CTLE hours). These new requirements went into effect July 1, 2016 and this Fact Sheet addresses some of the details of the registration process. Fact Sheet 16-4: Requirements for Supplementary Certificates for Teaching English Language Learners in NYS Changes to Part 154 of Commissioner's Regulations in 2015 that layout the requirements for the instruction of English Language Learners (ELL) require that the majority of instruction for ELLs be integrated into the content areas, especially English Language Arts. As a result, many ESOL-certified teachers and grade/content-certified teachers are interested in adding either a content area or ESOL certificate to their base certificate(s). Fact Sheet 14-3: Training in Harassment, Bullying and Discrimination Prevention and Intervention In June 2012, the Legislature enacted Chapter 102 of the Laws of 2012, which amended the Dignity Act to include a requirement that school professionals applying for a certificate or license on or after July 1, 2013 complete training on the social patterns of harassment, bullying and discrimination. In June 2013 the Legislature amended the effective date to December 31, 2013. Fact Sheet 13-4: Training in the Needs of Students with Autism Chapter 143 of the Laws of 2006 requires that after September 1, 2009 individuals applying for a teaching certificate as a special education teacher complete course work or training in the area of children with autism. The course work or training must be obtained from an institution or provider which has been approved by the State Education Department to provide such course work or training. Fact Sheet 17-10: Supplementary Teaching Certificate The Supplementary Teaching Certificate allows teachers certified in one classroom teaching area to provide instruction in a different certificate area where there is a demonstrated shortage of qualified teachers, for up to three years, while pursuing the requirements necessary for the new certificate title. Fact Sheet 12-3: Certification Types for Teachers and Teaching Assistants It is important for members to know which certificate(s) they possess and how to maintain these credentials in order to protect their career and livelihood. Local leaders should be aware of the variety of certificate types and the purpose and validity of each certificate. If you should have any questions about certification or these certificate types, please contact NYSUT Research & Educational Services. Fact Sheet 12-4: Incidental Teaching Incidental teaching occurs when a teacher is assigned to teach a subject outside of the teacher's certification area for a period that does not exceed five classroom hours a week. Such an assignment may only take place under specific circumstances and this Fact Sheet provides an overview of regulatory requirements that govern incidental teaching. NYS Teacher Certification Flexibility Limited Extensions in Times of Fiscal Crisis The New York State Board of Regents adopted these regulations that allow for teacher certification flexibility to avoid or mitigate layoffs after the Great Recession. Certain general education and students with disabilities teachers could be reassigned to teach in grades close to their certification area for up to two years while the completed requirements to make these "limited extensions" permanent. Section 80-4.3 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education governs the issuance of these "Limited Extensions" and this Fact Sheet provides an overview of those requirements.

Rather than actually prepare for the the return of my classes *shudder*(I have been putting it off and putting it off... and now I have a sack of essays to mark, three different courses requiring the creation of fresh schemes of work... and I've just discovered a rotten-to-the-point-of-melting banana in my work bag - I'd been blaming the rank smell on one of Mrs Gripes' cats. Oops) I have been tinkering with my blog template.
Look at it. Horrible, isn't it. Barely a *spingle* in sight. And as for that calendar over there... What does it do? I know it's January - but will it tell me any more than that? Nope... *sigh*
Makes my blood run... well, not cold exactly, more tepid -which is probably as it should be... But at least it works. Well, sort of...
Doubtless I'll fiddle with it some more sometime. * deep sigh*
*deeper sigh*
Everyone else seems to be making all these profound statements about self improvement and introspection and all I can do is fiddle about with the window dressing. (Which probably says as much about me as it needs to, come to think about it...) I'm sure 2006 will bring about some major changes in me and and my little world - but I'll be buggered blue with a bargepole if I'm going to pre-empt them: I'll change as and when necessary, not because a calendar tells me I should. The blog needed fiddling with (no tittering at the back there...) so I fiddled. Should my life require the same, I shall do likewise.
If it seems uncharacteristically bullish of me to swerve at the chance of some sanctioned introspection, I would point out that it does fit rather well as part of my scarcely suppressed truculent iconoclast nature. So *blows raspberry*.
(-Less grouchily - any suggestions as to how I could gussy-up this blog template still further, please don't hesitate to get in touch. I'm all, er... eyes.*shakes head* Oh, darn my head today - it just ain't workin' right, I tells ya...)

Dear well-intentioned parents, caution!
As parents, we want the best for our children. We want to show them our love, that we are interested in them and what they are living, but we mostly want them to know that we will always be there for them. Basically, we only want their well-being and to help them make their way in life. That said, these desires for our children sometimes cause certain parents, who are very, if not overly well-intentioned, to adopt attitudes and behaviours which deviate from the target objective and which unfortunately cause problems which can get worse and/or degenerate. In these cases, it is the children who suffer the consequences. That is why we are exposing to you today the top five…Read More

I love curries. And I love basketball. And I love potato salad. Hence, our Steph Curry Potato Salad. I couldn't come up with a clever recipe name that uses LeBron James. LeBron, I know you won it on the court many times, but as for a plant-based recipe? Maybe next year, LeBron.
The inspiration for this was actually a curry carrot and raisin salad I devoured at a recent church potluck. If we can curry carrot and raisin salad, I realized, then what could we curry next? This creamy and spicy potato salad is perfect side for your next picnic or cookout. The sweetness of the raisins is a nice counter to the heat of the curry spices. Celery, onion, and carrots round it out with texture, flavor, and color.
Dishes like potato salad don't require exact measurement on ingredients. A little more potato, a little less carrot and all is fine, but start with the measures here for the curry powder. Since not all curry powders are equal, maybe even start on the sparing side, then add a little at a time to suite your taste.
Products We Used
Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
- 3 lbs red bliss potatoes, halved, then halved up to 3 more times to create bit sized pieces
- 1 cup chopped red onion (about 1/2 onion)
- 1 1/2 cups chopped celery (about 3 stalks)
- 2 cups shredded carrots (about 4 medium)
- 1 cup golden raisins
- 2 cups vegan mayonnaise
- 2 TBL apple cider vinegar
- 2 TBL curry powder
- salt to taste
- Cover potatoes with water in a pot and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer until tender, approximately 15 minutes.
- While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the dressing.
- In a large bowl combine the onion, celery, carrots, raisins, mayonnaise, vinegar, and curry powder. Set aside.
- When the potatoes are tender, drain and set aside to cool.
- Add the potatoes to the mayonnaise mixture and mix well.
- Salt to taste.
- After draining the cooked potatoes, I put them in another pot with ice water and let sit for 5 minutes. This greatly speeds up the prep time.
- Experiment with your favorite curry.
- Chopped apples can be substituted for the raisins.

Columbus Came Late
Columbus Came Late
To a certain extent this is a mystery story; but it is not one conceived in the fertile brain of a Gaboriau, a Van Dine, or a Poe. It is also a tale of great human achievement; but it is not one imagined by a Scott or a Dickens or a Conrad. However, if you like such tales as those, you should like this one. For it is true, and the hero is not a single individual but a group of nations with a high civilization composing an entire people -- the people of ancient America.
No one who sees the remains of roads and bridges and aqueducts in Peru can doubt that achievement. No one who sees the immense pyramids of Mexico, the ancient irrigation canals of Arizona can doubt it. No one can possibly doubt it who has cut the thick bush of Yucatan and Guatemala from the roofs of lovely crumbled temples and palaces as I have done, who has traced one-time canals across meadows now peopled only by herons and bitterns, or followed great raised roads -- crowded hundreds of years ago with a proud commerce -- through the jungle which tears up their beds but has not yet, after more than . . .

Understanding Your Water Meter
Your water meter is an important tool for understanding and monitoring your water use. After you read this information, you will be able to use the meter to determine if you have a water leak, measure the amount of water leaking, and monitor your overall water use.
There are some things you should know before you read your meter. The City has multiple brands of meters installed but can be classified as mechanical and digital. Most residential meters are the analog type. An analog meter will look like a stopwatch and have a large dial with a row of numbers. Each complete revolution of the dial indicates one cubic foot (7.48 gallons) of water has passed through the meter. The row of numbers is the cumulative amount of water that has passed for the life of the meter.
A digital meter can read up to 0.001 gallons of water usage. These new electronic meters also have a row of numbers indicating water use, but also have indicators for leak detection and meter errors.
Your meter is read about every 30 days, and the result is recorded in billing units. One billing unit is 100 cubic feet or 748 gallons.
Locating Your Meter Box
Your meter box is generally located on the sidewalk or curb next to the street. It is covered with a heavy lid made of metal, concrete, or a composite material. To look inside, you can use a screwdriver to provide leverage to pull away the lid. Be cautious of any insects, reptiles, or any small animals that may have taken residence inside the box.
Reading Your Water Meter
Mechanical Meter
Checking Your Consumption
To read your meter, look at the straight row of numbers on the dial. The last two numbers are ignored, as they represent a fraction of one billing unit. For example, the meter shown below reads 403 (billable units).
Detecting Leaks
If you have a leak, it usually can be detected at the water meter. You must first make sure that no one will be using even the smallest amount of water while you are checking for leaks. Many meters have a small black triangle on the face of the dial. This is a very sensitive "leak detector." Even a small leak will be indicated by a rotating triangle. If after a few seconds, you see no clear movement, you probably do not have an active leak.
For meters that have no leak detector, you can use the indicator that looks like the "seconds" hand on a stopwatch. Make a note of where this hand is pointing, then come back in about 20 minutes. Do not use any water during this test period. If the hand has moved, you have a leak.
Digital Meter
Your water usage is displayed on the main screen of newer, electronic meters. Units are marked by lines or decimals depending on the brand of meter. The advantage of newer, ultrasonic meters is the ability to detect very small leaks and usage up to 0.001 gallons. By covering a sensor on the top of these electronic meters, it will show the current flow rate through the meter. These meter will also show icons based on meter leaks or inactivity. These icons are very useful if you will be away from the property for an extended amount of time.
Understanding Valves In Meter Boxes
As shown in the image below, the valve on the street side of the meter is owned by the City of San Luis Obispo. This valve is under no circumstance to be operated by the home owner, tenant, or plumber/contractor (13.04.140 B). If you need this valve turned off for any reason please schedule a time for our staff to turn this valve off.
The valve on the property side of the water meter is to be operated by the home owner, tenant, or plumber to conduct any necessary isolations or repairs to the home's piping. This valve should not require any special tools to turn on or off and is required per City of San Luis Obispo Municipal Code (13.04.140 A)
Projecting Your Water Use
Look on your last bill under the heading "Meter Readings." Listed under the word "Present" is your last read. Subtract that read from the current number that you read off of your meter. The difference is how many units of water you have used since your last water bill. Now look on the bill where is says "Service Period." The second date under that heading is the date your meter was last read. The number of days from that date to the present is the number of days that you have been using water since the last read.
If, for example, you have used 2 units in the 10 days since your last read, you can use that information to estimate how much water you may use by the end of the current billing period. Here is how you do it: Since there are about 30 days in each billing period, divide 30 by the number of days since the last read (10). Take that answer (3) and multiply it by the number of units you used since the last read (2). The answer will be your estimated use.30 / 10 = 3
3 x 2 = 6
Based on your current rate of use, 6 units is an estimate of the water use that will show up on your next water bill. You can use our online calculator to determine the dollar amount of this usage.
Measuring water use of a fixture
Mechanical Meter
To perform this measurement you will need a calculator, a stopwatch or wristwatch, a pencil and a piece of paper. First make sure that no one will be using water during your test, then turn the water fixture on that you wish to measure. For instance, if you want to measure how much water your back lawn uses, turn on those sprinklers and then go to your meter. You will be measuring your water consumption for one minute.
For a single family residential dwelling, each revolution of the "seconds" hand means you have consumed 7.48 gallons. The dial is divided into 100 points, and also into units of ten. If you measure water use for one minute, the meter will register how much water you use per minute. Count the number of points consumed during the minute and treat it as a decimal value of 7.48 gallons. For instance, if the meter turns 95 points, multiply 7.48 gallons by .95, and you get an answer of 7.106 gallons consumed per minute. Multiply that answer by the number of minutes you water each time, and your answer will be how many gallons you use each time you water the lawn.
For example:
7.106 gpm x 20 minutes = 142.12 gallons consumed each time you water that lawn.
You can convert this number into billing units by multiplying it by the number of times you will water during the 30 day billing period, then dividing the answer by 748. For example, if you will be watering 12 times, your water use in billing units, will be as follows: 142.12 x 12 = 1705.44 gallons per billing period 1705.44 / 748 = 2.28 billing units. You can attribute 2.28 units on your next water bill to that area of lawn.
Digital Meter
Newer digital meters have a display mode that will give the current usage in gallons per minute (gpm). Most of these meters have a sensor on the top of the meter; when covered, the meter will display the rate of consumption if there is water running.

Introduction: Hurricane Survival With a Wind Turbine
This video show what we did to help us through the hurricane and the aftermath.
I live in La Paz Mexico and we were just hit by Hurricane Odile. It was a category 4 and the worst hurricane to hit Baja Mexico since the 1940s.
5 days after the hurricane we still don't have water and many others in the city don't have power.
This instructable goes over some advice on how to prepare and comfortably survive a hurricane and the aftermath.
My Homemade wind turbine helped a lot when we didn't have power.
Step 1: Wind Turbine
I have built my own wood wind turbine for very cheap. I use cheap pine wood to carve the blades and a free 12V car motors as a generators. I used electrical heat shrink tubing as a belt between homemade wood V pulleys. My larger wind turbines 3ft to 4.5ft cost less than $5 to build.
Usually I have my 4.5ft wind turbine on a 13ft pole on my flat roof. This works for wind speeds up to 40km/h. After the hurricane passed the winds were very strong with gusts close to 100km/h. I replaced the 4.5ft turbine with my smaller and stronger 3ft turbine. I also removed the 8ft section of the pole and only mounted the turbine on a 6ft pole. It gets much less wind there but with these high winds this stopped the tower from blowing over. The wind turbine also has a furling tail that turns the turbine out of the wind when the wind is very strong. My turbines are still being improved so they are not very efficient. I was able to get a maximum of 30 Watts (2.4 amps at 12.3V). The power runs along a 50 foot 14 gauge wire into my window and charges laptop batteries. I used these charged laptop batteries to run everything we needed in the house.
Step 2: Water
Water is always the most important thing in a survival situation.
Here in La Paz we live in a desert so water is even more important. We have a 750 liter tank on our roof that we use for showers, toilet, dishes, washing..... This water is not safe to drink so we also have large 19 liter drinking water bottles.
Before the hurricane hit we bought enough drinking water for a week.
Before the storm hit our roof water tank was already very low from hurricane Norbert a few days before. We had to conserve water by taking showers using only a wet face towel and then using that water to flush the toilet. We bought paper plates so we wouldn't have to do dishes.
Flushing the toilet became a problem because it uses sooo much water. We had to drive to the ocean with all our buckets and fill them so we could flush the toilet.
Step 3: Electricity
With the power out all our electricity was provided by the wind turbine. You can also build a hand crank or bicycle generator using free 12 volt car motors.
Old laptop lithium ion cells are a great source of battery power. They have about 3 volt to 4 volts per cell and can be arranged in many different series and parallel configurations to get the voltage and amps you need. You can buy used laptop batteries for very cheap on e bay and build your own battery pack. See the instructable below.
We used laptop batteries charged by the wind turbine to power to run cell phones, the internet modem, large and small fans, lights and much more.
I connected one laptop battery pack (6 cells) to a 75 watts car inverter. The green light came on right away. I did have to flip the spring loaded thing upside down so I didn't have to push it in. I plugged my modem into the inverter and the internet light came on. It turns out the power lines were down but the internet cable was still intact. We were able to send messages to our families to tell them that we are all ok.
I was able to plug a power bar into the inverter and charge many phones and run the internet at the same time. It is important not to overload the batteries and inverter by plugging in large loads. You could also take the battery out of your car and use that but then you car might not start after.
Mexico is very hot so we had a few battery fans that run off the laptop batteries. See the instructables below for a low power and high power battery fan.
I also built very cheap battery lamps. I bought 2 12V car light bulbs for less than $1. I soldered some wires to them and installed them into plastic containers. Please see the instructable below.
Step 4: Food
We were lucky as we have a gas oven. We were able to cook food but with the power out is was difficult to keep food in the fridge.
In sunny areas a solar cooker would be very useful if you have an electric oven that you can't use when the power is out. Please see the instructable below on how to build a solar cooker for less than $10.

Wind turbines, aren't they great? we have a few and they work so well.
If I was the decider if an Instructable got feature or not, I would definitely feature this one, but the best I could do is vote so I voted for you!
Thanks for sharing such valuable information, I hope to see more!
I'm curious that you aren't collecting rain water for your roof tank. Wind turbines are great for these situations. If you look on popular mechanics Webb site they have plans for a turbine that has an auto braking function. I've built several versions of these over the years. They are running tank heaters in northern Nevada. Tho the blades/sails are fabric. Keep busy with the survival process. Good work.
Great work. In 40's decade, my father built a wind turbine at our farm where we lived. We had light in all rooms of the house, ¡and a radio!. The radio was valvular (it had tubes, not transistors), then its use were a bit restricted to some few hours/day.
Awesome design, very important for those living in certain areas! Thanks for sharing!

Aaah, another refreshing list of things lawyers never do:
"Some of the most successful people I know are also the nicest. That's no coincidence, since no one ever does anything worthwhile alone — and that means building great relationships is a key contributor to success. Plus, being nice is a just lot more fun. Here are things the kind of person people love to be around never do…."

Cyberbullying peaks when students are on summer break, but parents are leaving teachers to deal with the fallout when the school year resumes, educators and experts say.
Melbourne teacher Joel Hamilton* has had enough of your children.
Specifically, he's had enough of you.
"Teachers are fighting a losing battle against parents," the primary school educator told 10 daily.
Hamilton said cyberbullying climaxes during the summer holidays, and parents are leaving teachers to handle it when the school year picks back up.
"Parents don't want to be seen as disciplinarians, they don't want to say 'no' to their kids. They'll tell us their child was bullied online by another student over the holidays and ask us to handle it," he said.
Australia's eSafety Commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, confirmed school holidays are a "particularly challenging time" for students.
"The long break can leave some young people more vulnerable to social exclusion — a more covert form of cyberbullying — especially if they depend on their online community for a sense of self-worth," Grant told 10 daily.
"Parents also need to ensure they are modelling the same behaviours in their own technology use, and take time away from their screens."
Parents play a "major role" in their child's online behaviour, Australia's foremost expert in cyber safety, Susan McLean, told 10 daily.
"As much as some people focus on keeping kids safe online, parents have a role to play to ensure their child is not cyberbullying others," she stated.
Almost 50 percent of children aged 8-12 years old across 29 countries had experienced cyberbullying in the past year, the 2018 DQ Impact Report found.
Research indicated one in five young Australians between eight and 17 have been subjected to cyberbullying — a consistent figure for the past decade.
A concern is parents allowing young children to use networks such as Instagram and Snapchat, despite the platforms having a legal minimum age of 13.
"Kids shouldn't be on social media till they're 13, but parents permit them even though they're nowhere near mature enough to understand it," Hamilton said.
"Some have argued they supervise usage — but a lot have realised their kids are making public profiles without their knowledge and lying about their age."
Educating children on inappropriate and safe social media use "takes time and oversight," offered technology entrepreneur, Mark Fortunatow.
Fortunatow has created SPACETALK, a smartphone-watch that only allows children to send SMS and make calls to a parent-controlled list of contacts.

There is deafening silence all around with a blank paper staring back menacingly at you. You feel like all your ideas are sucked away, making you feel powerless and paralyzed.
Writing anxiety is mostly situational and it is, therefore, necessary to identify what causes anxiety. Understanding the causes is the first step towards addressing anxiety itself.
Anxiety often results from discomfort caused by various elements like tight deadlines, unfamiliar topics, unexplored genres, varied audience, fear of criticism, wobbly self-confidence, sleep deprivation, hunger, high expectations, and just about anything that makes you feel a little off.
And don't you already know that this "feeling off" is only temporary? You know it, yes, but then again there's self-doubt that feeds on your confidence and makes you think otherwise. Continue reading

I'm taking a bit of a detour with this post so that I can share with you two special events that were supposed to happen in April. One will probably go as planned, but the other completely surprised all of us by happening a month early. Noah Christian, my new little grandson, decided March was a much better month to be born!So I've been busy making a few things to celebrate his arrival and the expected arrival of my other grandson later this month.
I designed this carrier for my daughter-in-law because her home office is upstairs. I placed elasticized pockets across both sides for bottles, pacifiers, toys, and all the other little items that babies need. For diapers and wipes, I put a large pocket on one end.
There is a safety belt in the middle and the strap is fully adjustable. I also included a swivel hook for a cell phone case or whatever else might be needed.
My other daughter-in-law loves Beatrix Potter so I made four sets of bibs and burp cloths for her. I still have quite a bit more to make, but I love every minute of it.
Saturday evening I spent painting (fabric and fiber, of course), snipping, fusing, and doing other fun stuff in the studio. The result was a very interesting "fabric" that I'm presently incorporating into a quilt. I should have a tutorial explaining the process posted in the next day or so. Until then, I hope you are busy creating lots of wonderful things!

Blake Lively Skipped The MTV Movie Awards
Ryan Reynolds is on top of the world: Deadpool is a huge success, and the actor won two MTV Movie Awards for his profanity and action-laden performance as scarred anti-hero Wade Wilson. But there was something missing: his wife. Where was Blake Lively during the MTV Movie Awards? Unfortunately for fans of the actor's red carpet style, she didn't make an appearance at the awards show to support her husband.
The couple have made a lot of public appearances together lately on red carpets as Reynolds promoted Deadpool, but this time, Lively didn't make it to the event. Usually, the star is quick to put up a social media message in support of Reynolds' work, but I think in this case, the support is obvious, even though Lively wasn't in the audience, and could very well have been spending the evening at home with the couple's one-year-old daughter, James.
However, Lively did warrant a very funny mention in Reynolds' acceptance speech for Best Comedic Performance for Deadpool. "I want to thank my wife — everything I do is to make her laugh, especially the sex. Thank you," Reynolds said to close out his speech. I wish that Lively had attended the awards in order to see her reaction to that joke, but I'm willing to bet that these two have a compatible sense of humor. It was a very funny ending to a surprisingly emotional speech from Reynolds, where he described the difficult process of getting Deadpool to the big screen. "I have been trying to get Deadpool made for over a decade and I failed and it's you the fans that got this made," Reynolds said. "The reason I'm standing up here is because of you guys, and we had blast working on this movie, but it wasn't all unicorns and cocaine."
I suppose we'll just have to imagine Lively's guffaw to that helluva one-liner.

Students qualified to be on stage for this competition through a preliminary round of tests. Students on stage were eliminated after two incorrect answers. After nine rounds, Annika Esselstrom, Brady Mousseau, Anthony Diaz, and Joshua Kean remained as finalists. Annika eventually won the competition, with Brady battling for the runner-up spot. She will take another qualifying test for the state competition in March. Congratulations to these globally-aware Wildcats!

It's all too easy, in the course of our weekend walks, to keep taking the same routes over the local fields, or keep popping to repeat, or do variations on a theme, over on Cannock Chase.
When it comes to getting our weekly exercise on field paths (which, given where we live, is the prevalent option) repetition has its advantages, the main one being that you know where you're going and don't have to walk map in hand, trying to work out which way across the next field the RoW goes, with a constant game of 'spot the stile' going on in the background.
Every now and then, we find a bit of inspiration to do a field-yomp somewhere different, and today was one of those days.
Despite good intentions, it was marching on towards mid-afternoon by the time we left Armitage so we wasted no time in finding a way to get ourselves onto the Trent & Mersey Canal.
Not fifty yards after we joined, we left the canal, to take the pedestrian tunnel under the newly four-tracked West Coast Mainline
before a few paces later crossing over the River Trent
thanks to the robust pedestrian bridge.
The imposing presence of Rugeley Power Station was within sight the whole time. The West Coast Mainline, whilst not always within our sight was, for much of the walk, within our earshot.
"Hello" said a man in a garden as we made to climb a stile on the outskirts of Mavesyn Ridware "It's not often people use the footpaths around here. You're the first I've seen in six months." It didn't bode well for good, easily navigated paths.
Sure enough, fields had been cropped without the paths being reinstated. One did cause us to take a slight detour around, in all of the others we took the line of the ROW, usually popping out the other side with feet so covered with heavy mud that we looked like we were wearing comedy shoes.
We both commented on the farm below, with five adjoining buildings in different styles, looking like it had started small and been repeatedly extended: Farm buildings didn't distract us for long, though. We soon came to a stile that was impassable with overgrown spiky things
Then came the mud. Great vast quantities of deep mud – always in places where it couldn't be avoided, like in this lane:
It was quite a relief to get to Stockwell Heath with its central village pond, at which I've a few times taken a snack break as it lies on both my 25 and 28-mile training walk routes.
It was just as we left the village that I looked at my watch and did a few calculations: 1) It had taken us an hour and a half to reach Stockwell; 2) the route back was slightly longer; 3) Sunset was in about an hour's time, giving us not more than an hour and a half of usable daylight. I hoped that we didn't find ourselves going horribly astray on the way back!
Between Stockwell and the village of Colton we were on the Staffordshire Way, along a section that we've walked a few times before, so we knew where we were going, but from there on it was back to map-in-hand – which became increasingly difficult as the light got lower and lower.
Passing through one farm we spotted, hiding behind some dead grass/rushes, some early lambs:
By the time we rejoined our outward route, just before the river and the mainline, darkness was overtaking us. The power station was lit up, as were the passing trains (okay, the photo is far from good, but that slight blur of light on the left side is the train!):
We got back to the car in full darkness, but having had a moderately strenuous walk (thanks, once again, to the soft ground and mud), covering just over 8.5 miles.
(Note to Mike: As we found ourselves passing your house (which took us rather by surprise, because, funnily enough, on the OS map it doesn't highlight it as 'Mike's House') we did knock on your door to say hello. You were either out or saw us coming and wisely hid!
Note to Geoff: This was the 'Handsacre to Blithfield recce'. I'll email you with my thoughts.)

Kim Jung-un has always been a babe-magnet. As noted by a North Korean paper, Kim is one of "the world's sexiest and most handsome men." He's kind of like the 'Clooney of Commies.' It's more than his soon-to-trend haircuts, it's the way he dominates his people with crushing love. He's especially attractive to young women.
To meet the demand, like his Father and Grandfather before him, Kim is forming a 'Pleasure Squad' or 'Joy Brigade' – a group of beautiful women available to him anytime, any place, to meet his every need. One suspects his immediate needs do not include intellectual stimulation nor military analysis.
Past 'Pleasure Squads' included teams "in semi-nude dancing and singing" (Gamujo,) "massage happiness-providers" (Haengbokjo) and, of course, the "satisfaction team" (Manjokjo) to provide sexual services. The women serve at his pleasure and then are sent back to their villages with stipends of cash, appliances, and the prestige of being a former whore for the 'Supreme Leader.'
No word yet on how Mrs. Jong-un feels about all this but it's assumed she could participate if she is inclined that way.

The Evolution Of Good Charlotte
Over their illustrious and eccentric 22 year history, Good Charlotte have taken on many different styles and sounds. In celebration of their album 'Good Morning Revival' turning 12 today, we thought it was only right to look back over every album the band has released.
The place where it all began 18 long years ago. Overflowing with as much rampant punk energy as snotty east coast attitude, the band's debut album is a real mish mash of sounds, styles, ideas and influences that somehow intertwine effortlessly. One minute channelling the Beastie Boys with slick impassioned raps before thwacking the guitars like Rancid the next, the Maddens put their stamp on the new millenium with a collection of songs that sounded unlike anything else anyone was really attempting. Though perhaps a little bit immature and scattered at points, 'Good Charlotte' represents a band full of life and ready to take on anything that is thrown their way.
Building on the style that they had forged on the debut but making it even more palletable for a mainstream audience, this is the moment that the band broke through in the biggest way possible. Leaving no stone unturned when it came to commenting on the state of the upper classes, family relationships, gender battles and ultimately overcoming internal demons, the band used their platform to devesating effect while also penning the sort of melodies that would be stuck in your head for days on end. The likes of 'The Anthem' and 'Girls & Boys' are now cemented into musical history and still sound as refreshing and relevant today as they have ever been.
And along came the rebellion. Not content with being told what to do and what they should sound like, Good Charlotte turned the tables on everything they had done previously and penned an album detailing mortality. Much darker in sound, attitude and style, 'The Chronicles Of Life & Death' came as a brilliant shock to all. From the downtrodden 'Predictable' to the sass filled 'I Just Wanna Live', the band flipped the table on everything that their fans once knew and came out the other end smelling of black roses.
Swapping their sweeping fringes for knuckledusters and grills, the band took a swing at modern pop with their fourth album. In many ways harking back to their early years yet still fitting in with the sound that had hit the mainstream in '07, the devilish 'Keep Your Hands Off My Girl' and 'Dance Floor Anthem' take all the elements that had made the band a success previously and rammed the ante up to 11. Though that's not to say there wasn't plenty of big arena rock in there too with 'The River' firing on all cylinders.
After the experimentation and electronica of 'Good Morning Revival', 'Cardiology' took things back to the rockier waters. Channelling more of the fun and frolics that were found on 'The Young And The Hopeless', 'Silver Screen Romance' and 'Let The Music Play' toyed with different sorts of passion that effect the heart, while '1979' showed off the bands emotional tendancies in the most vulnerable of ways. Though this would be the last release from the band before their hiatus, it is also demonstrates them in their most pure and simple form.
How bout this for a comeback? Good Charlotte's first album in 6 years hit like a boot to the temple. Utlising the talents of John Feldmann, the band developed the pop-punk sound they had become famous for in the last decade into something that would capture the imaginations of a new generation of listeners in the same way. The result was a set of songs filled to the brim with nostalgic lyrics and big bold riffs, all tied together neatly with that classic GC attitude.
And here we are in the present day. Now once again a consistent member of the scene, the band are using their voice today to tackle the big issues that plague so many. Delving deep into the stigmas of depression, anxiety and the hardships that are facing so many people across America all to a dark and mysterious soundtrack, the band's sound these days feels like a combination of 'Good Morning Revival' and 'The Chronicles Of Life And Death' and more than anything unlike anyone else. Once again Good Charlotte have managed to reinvent themselves and stay just as relevant as the day they first picked up their instruments.

Shiro contacts Munakata and asks him to investigate "the man in the airship", having remembered being thrown from it. The man is none other than the first and Silver King, but Munakata agrees to comply if Shiro, Kuroh and Neko all turn themselves in without a fuss. Munakata noticed that the normally unwavering routes of the Silver King's airship Himmelreich suddenly changed when Tatara Totsuka was murdered. Munakata launches a fleet of choppers, one of which Shiro & Co. commandeer, but as they near the Himmelreich, it self-destructs.
The one person who may be able to tell Shiro who he really is and what really happened with him is Adolf K. Weismann, who just happens to be the first and most powerful king, clearly not someone to trifle with. Even Munakata seems doubtful he'll be able to peacefully bring the guy in for questioning. SCEPTRE-4 may be enforcers of the law, but Weismann IS the law, and answers to no one. He's also a bit of a weirdo and a recluse, flying over the city for decades in a really odd but cool-looking airship, with a dead (or unconscious) woman with a fox mask as his companion.
This same ship, such a fixture over the city's skies, is unceremoniously blow'd up when Munakata's choppers approach it. The explosion attracts the attention of Kukuri, for some reason. Shiro's only good lead to his past would seem to have slipped through his fingers, and now he, Kuroh and Neko have the assault of SCEPTRE-4 officers and the theft of a helicopter to answer for. The only information they gained was that this Weismann dude is the one who calls the shots, and isn't a man who has audiences forced upon him.
Rating: 7 (Very Good)

Hello, _DT here. Today I would like to propose an idea, we increase the number of animals allowed in a town to 15 adults. This insures enough space for a town to have 3 sheep, 3 cows, 3 pigs, 3 wolves, and 3 chickens, or a variance of those numbers. I also feel that bears should be excluded from the limitation, as they are so hard to tame and cannot be bred. To prevent a spike in server lag caused by this strain I see a couple of options, but feel free to suggest others if you can think of any.
1) lower the number of farm plots/berry bushes to 512 blocks (2 chunks)
2) only allow towns to have 8 animals until a town member has been active for 4 days of play time. This shows dedication to the server, and should hopefully prevent people from getting this number of animals, quitting tfc, and leaving a these extra animals.
I would love to hear from the community on this, and I hope we can work something out!

Two Reasons for the Oktoberfest Season

"O'zapft is!" ("It's tapped!") in the natural Mountain Peaks of Jordan Carver's Biergarten (Beer Garden).
Barmaid fräulein Jordan Carver supports Beer and Boobs for the 178th Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany. The Bavarian Bier festival was held for 17 days (Sep 17 to Oct 3, 2011). Only Oktoberfest Bier (beer) brewed within the city limits of Munich is served in the Biggest Beer folk festival. Attendance is free, but the Mass (a 2-pint Mug) costs 9.20 euros ($12.66).
If you missed the Bavarian Brew-haha (brouhaha) in Germany than you can find Brats, Beer, and possibly the Boobs of the St. Pauli Girl during the International Oktoberfest at the Newport Yachting Center in Newport, RI from Oct 8 to 10, 2011.
St. Pauli Girl spokesmodel Katarina Van Derham helped the Burgermeister open the 18th annual International Oktoberfest on Oct 9, 2010.

Speedy's Breasts hold 90 ounces (roughly the size of a Munich Beer Pitcher). On average, Beer weighs 10 pounds per gallon.
90 ounces/ 128 ounces X 10 pounds per gallon = 7 pounds per Boob.
Speedy's Rack supports 14 pounds of Bavarian Beer.

So I reluctantly passed on this as I'm just not versed enough on the prewar color 302s. I think this looks like a legit factory paint job, but there's only one photo. I'm guessing a chrome finger wheel is right, and the color seems yellowed and chipped, but consistent overall. If it's not factory, it must have been a professional reseller. It ended up going for about $75 shipped. What do the experts think -- did I miss out, or was this nothing special?
I was watching that one also. I had asked the seller for more pictures.

January 15th, over a hundred people marched from Bethel A Baptist Church to the Porter Center at Brevard College in honor of Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday. It was cold out but plenty showed up to walk together. The police were wonderful and provided safety for the marchers.
Once in the Porter Center, participants were able to view art by Billy Smith and enjoy a program that shared some of the "I have a dream speech", music by local groups and words of unity.
We attended the march last year and personally, I felt a sadness this year I didn't detect last year. A sadness that to me is tied to words of Donald Trump and those who support him either openly or through their silence.
The speeches and songs focused on hope and light. That is how this community is. Because of that, I know we are rising above. We have a dream…

Client List
Jim Lunsford
Jim Lunsford has more than thirty years experience in leading various organizations and teaching others the art of leadership. In addition to serving as an Army officer for twenty years, Jim has worked as a program manager in the corporate environment, and as a successful entrepreneur.
Jim was one of the early pioneers in developing computer games, and the processes to use these games, to support leader education and training. Although he developed many of these games for the U.S. and Allied military, Jim has also designed and developed games for non-military use to facilitate the deliberate practice of decision-making, critical thinking, team building, and communication skills.
After receiving the prestigious Marshall Award and graduating from the Virginia Military Institute with a degree in Civil Engineering, Jim served, with distinction, as an infantry officer for twenty years. During his military career, Jim served both as a commander and a staff officer in numerous airborne units, including several tours of duty with the 82d Airborne Division and two years assigned to the British Army Parachute Regiment.
During his final assignment in the Army, Jim taught at the Command and General Staff College. As a result of his innovative use of games to teach decision-making, the Chief of Staff of the Army selected Jim's work for two consecutive, year-long, Army leadership studies. As a result of his expertise in the design and development of effective training games, the U.S. Army purchased eleven different leadership games from Jim. Currently, these games are used to train military leaders from initial entry as a cadet at West Point to their attendance at the staff college fifteen years later.
Since 2000, Jim has owned a company that specializes in the design, development and use of games for leader education and training. Fourteen years later, he continues to expand their adoption into other areas of education. One of his most popular games is a simulation of the Lewis and Clark expedition. Jim, along with Joe Edwards, uses the game as part of a very engaging and challenging seminar for leaders and their teams.
Over the years, Jim has conducted substantial research, funded by government agencies such as the Department of the Air Force, the Department of the Army, and Defense Applied Research Projects Agency (DARPA), into the best use of games for leader development. As a result of his research, some of Jim's findings have been published in professional journals and presented at conferences.
Always an advocate for strong, effective leadership, Jim continues to seek out opportunities for creating enhanced methods for training highly skilled and adaptive leaders.

The iPad 2 with its 9.7″ IPS LCD screen is a great tablet, including a 6930mah battery, 512MB Ram and IOS 4.
Being such a popular device has meant over the years we have seen quite a few in for repair, mainly for smashed or cracked screen due to being dropped. due to this, our engineers are very skilled with iPad screen replacements.
The Ipad 2 has a separate LCD/Touchscreen, this means if you just crack the glass but the screen looks ok then the repair will be much cheaper as only the touchscreen (digitizer) will have to be replaced.

Chamber to Recognize Cynthia Murray as Women of Industry HonoreeAugust 09, 2019The San Rafael Chamber of Commerce will celebrate women in business at the Seventh Annual "Women of Industry" Luncheon and Marketplace, on Friday, November 15, at Embassy Suites in San Rafael. Since 2013, the Chamber has annually recognized a Marin Businesswoman who exemplifies extraordinary leadership in her industry. This year, the Chamber will honor Cynthia Murray, Executive Director of the North Bay Leadership Council. She is joined by 7 other exceptional industry and community leaders: Joan Capurro, Ann Brebner, Patty Garbarino, Melissa Prandi, Patricia Kendall, Mary Kay Sweeney and Stephanie Plante.
For the past 13 years, Murray has focused on a variety of public policy issues to help improve the quality of life for those she represents, which is over 25,000 employees from over 50 select employers in the North Bay. "Cynthia and I have been working very closely together this past year on workforce housing initiatives in Marin County ," said Joanne Webster, San Rafael Chamber of Commerce President & CEO. "I am continually impressed with her passion and fortitude and inspired by her commitment to improve the lives of all. We are thrilled to be honoring her this year," said Webster.
"Through all her community and public policy efforts, she has become a mentor and teacher to Chamber business leaders, women in business and young women just entering the workforce," said Cynthia Gregory, San Rafael Chamber's 2019/20 Women of Industry Co-Chair. "She's an amazing force and one of the community's most involved female leaders" said Gregory.
Prior to starting the North Bay Leadership Council, Murray served eight years on the Marin County Board of Supervisors and seven years on the Novato City Council, including one term as Mayor.
She received the 2010 Women in Business award from the North Bay Business Journal for her achievements in economic development.
Cynthia Murray serves on the boards of many organizations including the North Bay Life Science Alliance, Bay Area Council Economic Institute; First 5 Sonoma County Commission, Sonoma County Health Action Council, Healthy Marin Partnership, Marin School to Careers Partnership and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission's Policy Advisory Council. She brings together the public, nonprofit, education, and private industry sectors to help address and solve Marin's most pressing issues, and is also deeply engaged and devotes her time to the Regional Economic Association Leaders Coalition, the Bay Area Council Economic Institute Board of Directors (19 years), as an Adjunct Professor at Dominican University, and currently also teaching MBA students at Sonoma State University, as well. She's the Moderator and monthly Business Edge Briefings Breakfast at Dominican University.
The "Women of Industry" Luncheon and Marketplace is in recognition of all the successful Women Business Owners, Professionals and Entrepreneurs here in Marin County. This event draws over 300 professional women and men from the Marin business community. Proceeds of the event underwrite the event costs, as well as add to our "Women of Industry" Scholarship Fund. This fund was established to provide tuition fees for a deserving woman entrepreneur or small business owner to attend the San Rafael Leadership Institute.
