Cern Physics Trip
Our group of 14, containing 12 x Sixth form Physicists from Lower Sixth and Upper Sixth left Kilgraston and made our way somewhat gingerly through the snow in the minibus to Edinburgh airport.
Shattered, we arrived into a Geneva that was bathed in sunshine. Having dropped off our bags at our accommodation we headed into town to find some lunch. We ended up having a simple but delicious meal at the open-air bathing station called Bain des Paquis – on a sort of pier into Lake Geneva. We marvelled at the clear water, enjoyed the sunshine and fresh air and even spotted 2 or 3 brave be-flippered swimmers!
Feeling somewhat revived, the girls were given copies of the Geneva Treasure Hunt and sent off to explore the history and culture of the city. Some of our group really made the most of this, travelling by foot, boat and tram to visit the Museum of Fine Art, the United Nations and the impressive Reformation Wall with its statues of those pillars of the reformation William Farel, John Calvin, Theodore Beza, and John Knox.
After a very long day we had supper at a simple restaurant, Chez ma Cousine on y Mange du Poulet (which, strangely, enough specialised in chicken) and took ourselves back to the hostel for a well-earned sleep.
The schedule for the next day was the reason for our trip to Geneva: to visit to CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, one of the world's largest and most respected centres for scientific research and home of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Early that morning we queued up for a simple breakfast in the hostel and then jumped on a couple of trams to get to CERN which is situated just outside the city on the border with France.
Our guide for the morning, a Professor of Physics from the University Clermont Ferrand in France, talked us through the history of CERN and the science that goes on there before accompanying us to various sites on the campus to continue the tour.
Professor Anatolini explained about the superconducting magnets used to direct the particles.
By midday, our heads were hurting with everything we had been told so were extremely glad to head to the CERN cafeteria, an amazing set up where chefs in tall white hats whizz up everything from traditional French plat du jours, pizza, pasta to stir fried king prawns with noodles. It was fun to be there amongst 100s of engineers, computer scientists and physicists that come to work or study at CERN from every corner of the planet.
Then we headed to Microcosm, one of the 2 permanent exhibitions at CERN. Here we followed the path of the particles from a bottle of hydrogen, through the network of accelerators and on to collisions inside vast experiment through interactive displays and information from some of the scientists who have worked there. The girls got to see the inside of the LHC and developed a better understanding of how the detectors work. There was also an outdoor area displaying accelerators of the past, some of which had the unearthly appearance of strange space vehicles.
We then headed over the road to the Globe. The size of the dome of Saint Peter's in Rome, it hosts the "Universe of Particles" exhibition that takes visitors on a journey deep into the world of particles and back to the Big Bang. It is dark and cosy and beautifully lit (turquoise light photo). Here you can sit in a cosy pod to listen to the story of the Universe.
That night we had a jolly final meal together in a cosy restaurant in Geneva, many of the girls trying traditional local specialities such as fondue and raclette. It was early start again the next morning, as we caught the tram, a train, and plane and finally the school minibus to be back to Kilgraston in time for lunch! Phew, what an amazing trip!

Benefits Of Electrical Services.
Electrical services are the kind of intangible products that are sold primarily to solve your energy solutions at your place of residence or office. The services may be just the smaller maintenance or even the day to day running of activities in the home to the bigger picture of putting in place the wire system. The the article is thinly confined to the services that are provided by some of these companies in terms of provision of electric energy. It is a proper thing if a person knows exactly what these services are all about. These companies have the accreditation to move on with the process of ensuring that clients have the electrical needs sorted. Some of these companies have networks that extends overseas to them that are only based in a certain location.
They are able to give a comprehensive advice on the installations and purchases of appliances that utilize the electrical energy. This is a very important aspect, the reason being that, it is always impossible for a person to go on with the installations of the domestic wiring if he or she is not familiar with the costs and the logistics surrounding the whole process. They provide even the drawing and suggesting the alternative power options in case there is a blackout or even a power surge. This is a very critical stage and step. Many people have seen the use of these companies especially in the consultation parts.
They are very important especially in the installation of generators. It is important to note that, installing a generator is not the other common maintenance that you can be able to undertake manually at home, rather a complex process that requires qualified personnel to install. It involves clearly assessing the needs of the home and hence coming up with the suitable generator that can keep the house lights and other appliances on in case there is no power.
The servicing companies also provide electrical wares to the companies to their customers. It is important to note that, some of these wares are friendly and their use and where they can be bought is the only privy to these service agents. It is good to point out that, they are able to deal well with these electrical wares simply because they are the people that really know well their customers and their needs. Some of the products that they can provide may include the solar or the wind-driven appliances to provide energy.
The last issue is that they can be able to put in place the power lines over some distance. They are important since they can really help you in getting the certification to connect you to the national grid. It is important since you only need a qualified person to do your domestic installation of electricity. Thus if you want to have lighting in your home, just contact some of these electrical service agents near you.

After Classes Begin
Disability Support Services
This page gives faculty resources for after classes begin.
The college complies with section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and makes every effort to ensure that disabled persons admitted to the college as students or employed by the college are afforded all of the rights and privileges provided to them by state and federal law.
Contact Disability Support Services (417.447.8189) for information concerning compliance in providing reasonable accommodations and other assistance to students with documented disabilities.
DSS offers support services to students who have documented disabilities of a permanent or temporary nature. In order to qualify for support services, students must:
- Identify themselves to the Disability Support Services office and request services
- Provide current documentation (typically no more than 3 years old) that has been submitted by a qualified professional
In order to insure compliance, faculty have the following responsibilities:
- Make an announcement at the beginning of each class regarding the willingness to discuss accommodations with the students
- Include a statement in all course syllabi regarding willingness to accommodate students with disabilities
- Meet with students who provide an Accommodation Notice promptly and privately to discuss accommodations required.
- Maintain the same academic and behavior standards for all students, regardless of disability
- Insure that the proposed accommodations do not substantially alter curriculum standards
- Uphold the confidentiality of student's disability related issues
- Contact the Disability Support Services office with questions or concerns about providing access for students with disabilities
Examples of Disabilities Served Through DSS
The majority of students served through DSS are those with specific learning disabilities. In addition, students who have had traumatic brain injuries, deafness, orthopedic or mobility impairments, visual impairments, psychological disabilities and other health impairments receive services.
Accommodations Provided
Every student who registers for services with DSS and is deemed eligible has an Accommodation Plan tailored to their specific needs, specific courses, challenges and degree plan. Examples of typical accommodations include:
- Out of class testing
- Extended time on exams and practical examinations
- Quiet space to test in
- Use of a reader or scribe on exams
- Volunteer student note-taker
- Sign language interpreter
- Preferred seating
- Print materials translated to Braille or in large print format
- Raised table
- Technology needed for access (screen reading programs, screen magnifiers, voice to text software, talking calculators, etc.)
The Balancing Act
It is the job of DSS staff to balance the request of the student, filtered by documented needs, compared to maintaining the academic integrity of the course or degree.
How Do You Know?
How Do You Know?
A student who is eligible for services through DSS will provide you with an Accommodation Memo. This memo should be delivered to you, in person during the first week of classes. This memo will identify how the student's disability may manifest in the classroom, as well as recommended accommodation strategies. Members of the DSS staff are available to answer questions as they arise.
What Does DSS Need From You?
What Does DSS Need From You?
Since the most widely utilized accommodation is out-of-class testing, it is important you work closely with DSS staff in coordinating scheduled exams.

Faculty Senate
The Faculty Senate serves as a liaison between the faculty and administration of the college. Although voting rights extend only to full-time faculty members, OTC still encourages adjunct faculty to participate. To better understand the mission of the senate, consider this passage from the Preamble to the Constitution of the Faculty Senate:
Our premise is that it is essential for the well-being of the college that there be cooperation and communication between faculty, administration, students and trustees. We recognize that these entities have distinct functions and interests which, though they may overlap, may not necessarily coincide. The faculty has a significant impact on the success of the students and the efficient operation of the college. As such, the faculty should have a voice by providing recommendations of the governing body of the college.
Students should contact their department chair or program director for more information. The can also request that their program director add them to the Blackboard site for Faculty Senate.
Inclement Weather Policy & Procedures
Extreme weather conditions during the winter months may require OTC to cancel or delay the start of classes. Only severe weather conditions which would affect the personal safety of faculty, staff or students will result in the delay or cancellation of classes. If OTC makes no announcement, classes will operate on a regular schedule.
OTC posts the cancellation notice on the OTC website, through the emergency text-messaging system and on Springfield-area radio and television stations. We make every attempt to announce a decision to close the college or operate on a delayed schedule by 6 a.m. Please DO NOT call the college, the radio or television stations or college officials during this time. Check with your department chair, program director or dean about notification of closing procedures within your division.
Remember: if OTC makes no announcement, classes will operate on a regular schedule. OTC expects all faculty to meet for their class/es.
A scantron machine is available in the division offices on the Springfield, at the Richwood Valley campus and the area education centers. Answer forms are available in your division office. The answer forms are fed through the scanner to mark incorrect answers on multiple choice questions. The scanner will mark the correct number and percentage score won each answer sheet. A tally form is also available to determine the distribution of incorrect answers in the class.
OTC provides this convenience to assist instructors; however, it is also important for students to learn to write. We discourage a heavy reliance on multiple choice tests.
Wireless Internet Access
Wireless Internet access is available in the common areas of classroom buildings throughout campus. Staff, faculty and current OTC students can access wireless from personal laptops or other wireless devices. Note: Wireless Internet does not include access to OTC's internal network.
Please refer to the instructions on Intra or visit the Student Helpdesk for more information.
The OTC Help Desk can help with a variety of technology-related issues, including: instructional equipment, computer and laptop problems, employee and student account issues, network access, software, etc.
If you have questions or are experiencing problems, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 417.447.7548. When reporting a problem, please include: office location, computer (or equipment) number, a detailed account of the problem and the content of error messages.
Student Computer Help Desk
The Student Computer Help Desk is located in the Information Commons building near the main switchboard and staffed by student workers. Students can find assistance with technology issues such as wireless Internet access, locations of computer kiosks, online registration and student account support. For hours of operation, visit http://services.otc.edu/technology/help-desk/.
With Lync, users can keep track of their contacts' availability; send an instant message; start or join an audio, video or web conference; or make an Internet phone call. Lync is available on all OTC computers, including OTC laptops. Lync is not an official OTC communication. Therefore, OTC does not log its sessions.
More information and tutorials are offered on Intra.
Adjunct Contracts
Adjunct contracts are not available until after the second full week of classes has been completed. OTC emails contracts to the adjunct's OTC email address. Adjuncts must sign and return these to Human Resources within a specified time period.
If you have questions or concerns about your contract, please contact Staci Burton at firstname.lastname@example.com. Remember: Adjunct contracts are not available until after the second full week of classes has been completed.
Administrative Withdrawal
Please refer to Board of Trustees Policy, Administrative Withdrawal from a Course, for complete information.
Please refer to the Registrar's website for procedures of Administrative withdrawal.
Please click the administrative withdrawal tutorial link for complete instructions.
OTC will charge a $10 withdrawal fee to students who undergo administrative withdrawal.
For more information, contact Dr. Gavin O'Connor at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Note: Students should be aware that administrative withdrawal for lack of attendance or nonparticipation may reduce the amount of financial aid they receive, delay their graduation, or necessitate repayment of aid already received and does not relieve their obligation to pay all tuition and fees due to the college.
OTC strives for its assessments to provide ongoing evidence of student learning at all levels: course, program and institution.
Assessment of student learning begins at any level with established course objectives and learning outcomes that describe what a student should be able to do as the result of taking a given course. This goes beyond identifying what the student will study; it requires identifying what students should be able to "do" at the completion of a given course, program, or degree. The results of the assessment process allow faculty members the opportunity to determine the level of learning that took place. Once OTC determines the level of learning, faculty can meet and discuss actions that they should take to improve teaching and student learning.
More information concerning Assessment can be found at the Assessment of Student Learning website.
Course Evaluations
Student course evaluations are an additional source of information and feedback regarding teaching, learning and curriculum effectiveness. The primary purpose for the course evaluation is to improve teaching and learning. It is a tool to provide feedback to instructors and administration concerning student perceptions of the effectiveness of instructional methods and procedures used in the course. Each semester, students have the opportunity to evaluate each course they took. Most of the survey items employ a five-point scale of strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree or strongly disagree. Some of the items require choosing outstanding, average, below average or poor as the answer. Students may also add comments regarding the most and least effective elements of the course.
OTC tabulates survey responses prepares a summary report for each course section. After the semester ends, each instructor receives his/her report and feedback from their review via a Blackboard link. The department chairs and deans monitor the reports in an effort to determine if there are issues that need to be addressed.
The college also complies with Missouri Senate Bill 389 (2007), which states, "…each public higher education institution makes pertinent information regarding course offerings and instructors on its Internet website." Questions included on the course evaluations are used to fulfill this mandate. OTC posts results before registration begins for the next semester. As students review the semester schedule for classes, they are able to view the results.
Mid-Term Grades Submission
Each semester instructors must submit a mid-term grade through MyOTC by the required deadline for each of his/her students. Instructors should continuously keep students informed of their progress; however those students that are receiving a "D" or "F" at mid-term will be sent a warning notice from the college via email. If a student is receiving an "F" in the class, the last date of attendance will need to be recorded.
OTC encourages students to contact their instructor to see what can be done to improve their standing. Students may also want to discuss their progress with a counselor, their advisor or learning specialist.
Mid-term grade submission dates are listed on the college's Academic Calendar and the Registrar's Office's webpage.
Excellence in Education Awards
Our department requests nominations each spring for the Excellence in Education Awards. Then, OTC announces recipients the following fall. The categories include full-time instructor, adjunct instructor, administrative, professional support staff and general institutional support staff. The awards carry a monetary stipend. Individuals should direct questions to the Dean of Academic Services office at 417.447.8114.
Final Grades Submission
Each semester instructors must submit final grades through MyOTC by the required deadline for each of his/her students. Therefore, if a student is receiving an "F" in the class, the last date of attendance will need to be recorded.
Final grade submission dates are listed on the college's Academic Calendar.

SUCCESS Foundation: Island Time
Three schools in Trinidad and Tobago started using the SUCCESS for Teens personal-development curriculum by the SUCCESS Foundation last October after being introduced by Toronto-based entrepreneur Suzette Ramdhanie.
"It provides a platform of creative expression for the students," she says. "It strategically guides them to ignite their individual faith in themselves, overcome conditioned fears, and consistently take courageous action by executing their will to win."
Related: 6 Ways to Act on Your Ambition
Ramdhanie says the principals report a 90 percent participation rate. In particular, Chapter 8 ("Make Your Dreams Come True") of the curriculum's cornerstone book, SUCCESS for Teens: Real Teens Talk about Using the Slight Edge, has been a big hit at St. Augustine Girls' High School in Trinidad and Tobago.
"It explores the behavioral psychology of attaining wealth, health, relationships and your footprint on the world, which is what these students at that age are beginning to think about," she says.
As part of the program, students created "mental maps" of their goals for the next five years and planned the steps needed to achieve them. Many shared their maps on social media with friends and family, Ramdhanie says.
Related: 10 Steps to Achieve Any Goal
One student, 13-year-old Makhaya Valley, felt motivated to pursue a traditionally male-dominated career: "The SUCCESS for Teens program inspired my heart to believe that I can be an auto mechanic if I take the right steps to make it happen," Makhaya says.
In 2014 Ramdhanie was introduced to the curriculum through a member of the SUCCESS Foundation Advisory Board (The SUCCESS Foundation donates hard copies of the book to qualifying public schools, churches and nonprofit youth-development programs; SUCCESSFoundation.org offers free downloads of the book and facilitator's guide to everyone.)
Immediately drawn to the text, Ramdhanie internalized its lessons and applied them to her own life: "I experienced immediate breakthroughs in my relationships at work, in my own family with my nieces and nephew and also in my church community," she says. Ramdhanie worked in the banking industry for seven years, but her part-time gig allows her the opportunity to flex her entrepreneurial muscles. It also led her to influence the lives of teens in the West Indies.
Now, Ramdhanie, a self-described brand ambassador of the SUCCESS Foundation, is working with the Toronto District School Board and the Peel District School Board to spread the SUCCESS for Teens message to Ontario youth as well.

When I lived in an organic farming community, one morning I sat on the porch of the bunkhouse, watching members walk across a grassy area to the dining hall.
Beside the path, Pete the duck sat and quacked at people as they walked by.
A professional singer was the first to pass by Pete that morning.
Upon hearing him, she stopped and told him, "How nice of you to sing me a morning song!"
The next woman along the path was rather overweight. When she heard Pete quack in her direction, she scolded him, "You're always quacking for more food, Pete. It's time you stuck to your diet!"
The final person to pass was a very intellectual architect. Hearing Pete's voice, he retorted, "Questions, Pete—always questions! How about some answers for a change?"
Hmm . . . Each person saw Pete through the lens of his or her own self-perception. They projected their worldview onto the duck and attributed their beliefs about themselves to him. It was their own selves they were talking to.
We are all speaking only to our own self.
This beautiful story is truly a classic. It is from Alan Cohen's book A Course In Miracles Made Easy and illustrates how we all view the world through our own lens. And mostly we do this so unconsciously we assume that everyone else sees, hears and interprets the world the same as we do.

Bobcat plush stuffed animal toys are realistic play fun
Bobcat Plush Stuffed Animals are wonderful realistic reproductions of a the real thing. Bobcats are a true North American Cat. They are found only in North America. They resemble their large cousins the Lynx. However, the Bobcat is smaller than a Lynx but both cats have short bobbed tails and tufts of fur on the tips of their ears. The Bobcat Plush Stuffed Animal features all of the characteristics of this magnificent cat. The Bobcat Plush Stuffed Animal would be a great keepsake after a visit to one of America's National Parks. You might not see the real animal but the plush would remind you of what you might have seen. Many schools have the Bobcat as their mascot. The Bobcat plush would show school spirit and great classroom decor. A Bobcat plush in the school's showcases or laying around the office and library would exemplify school spirit. It would also make a great fund raiser for the school. For students that are doing a report on North American wildlife and chose the Bobcat, they could do a report and include the plush stuffed animal when they display their final work. Businesses also often select an animal like the Bobcat to represent the characteristics of the business. Pieces of equipment are even referred to as bobcats in construction because of their nimble agility on work sites. To promote Bobcat equipment the Bobcat plush stuffed animal could be offered as gifts to important clients. The Bobcat Plush Stuffed Animal has many uses from classroom, to schools, universities, zoos, national parks and business. The best use for Bobcat plush stuffed animal toys made by Aurora toys of course is for childhood educational soft play fun. To get the best view check out the You Tube of the Bobcat Plush Stuffed Animal Video at AnwoAnimalWorld.

How prevalent is fingerprint biometric usage? Almost everyone with fingerprint authenticated smart phone and employee working at an MNC use it quite often. IOTA announced that it is planning to power a biometric authentication system that will use palm vein pattern to authenticate their identity.
This system will work on digital ledger technology named tangle which is developed by IOTA. IAMPASS Proof of Concept is the name of the new system.
How is It Better?
The scanning of palm vein pattern is distinctive which allows for unique authentication. A distinctive and verifiable identity for each user is created. This system can be used for accessing high security platforms, secure identification and asset management. It also enables audit trials for users.

Dominick Schiener, the co-founder of IOTA foundation, said that the system would be able to tackle some of the biggest problems that cryptocurrency sector is facing such as identity theft and effective authentication methods. Further, he added:
"This is why we are excited about IAMPASS proof of concept, which uses the IOTA permission-less distributed ledger to make identity not only portable, but also give users assess and ownership ownership over their own data. With the maturation of identity like these, we will see the IOTA ecosystem providing a key technical puzzle piece for the adoption of distributed ledgers."
Toan Nguyen, the director business development and cloud platform added:
"Together, we expect the IOTA ecosystem and IAMPASS to help drive the next phase of digital identity management for high secure environments like data centers and in the smart city."
IAMPASS is the newest child of IOTA.

"That's what we need - get some of that water here to cool us off," said Jeff Nichols.
Nichols was there with his son, Alex, a middle-school student from Nickerson. Several members of Alex's family were also at Camp Aldrich, about 14 miles northeast of Great Bend, for the family day portion of the Youth Camp run by the Reno County Sheriff's Department.
The camp is technically for 11- and 12-year-olds in Reno County schools outside Hutchinson who have graduated from the DARE and Life Skills programs conducted by the sheriff's department school resource officers.
However, the activities Saturday afternoon included parents, guardians and younger and older siblings.
Sgt. Jim Potter, one of three Reno County Sheriff's school resource officers, emphasizes the family participation that makes the camp a success. Not only do family members take part in the fun, but many more are working behind the scenes as volunteers during the camp, or by donating supplies to the weekend event.
"The families have been generous. You should see all the fruit and cookies they've sent out," Potter said.
The family aspect of the camp goes both ways, too. Many younger siblings who attend the family day activities will likely attend the camp when they're old enough.
"We end up getting kids that have been looking forward to this for years," Potter said.
Jeff Nichols, watching as Alex dried off after getting soaked in the water fight, said his family was an example.
"It's a neat deal," Nichols said. "His little sister is looking forward to it."
Meanwhile, Alex's older sisters, Shelby Nichols and Jordan Appel, were waiting for their turn at the fun.
"We're looking forward to the water games," Jordan said.
Sitting in a lawn chair under a shade tree, Steve Pankratz watched as his daughter Abigail took her turn at the fire hose. After that, the children played tug-of-war on a plastic tarp made slippery with soapy water.
"She's doing great," Pankratz said. "She didn't get much sleep last night - they're supposed to go to sleep at 11, but you know how that goes."
Again, the older sister's experience was making an impression on a younger face.
"Her younger brother John will sure follow in her footsteps," Pankratz said.
The camp is in its 18th year and its 20th camp - the first two years there were two camps per summer, Potter said. Formerly known as DARE camp, the name has recently been changed to Youth Camp as more schools use the Life Skills curriculum - it includes anti-drug messages but also focuses on other decision-making.

Yesterday's meeting of the Board of the Bikol Foundation for Higher Education (BFHE) was extraordinary. Recently, most of the meetings have been being held in the urbane office of its President Fay Lauraya of Bicol University. Yesterday, however, the setting was the San Bernardino Farm and Resort in rural Calabanga, Camarines Sur. Within this forward-looking Agri-Business facility, a brainchild of Congressman Louie Villafuerte of Camarines Sur, plush cabanas, restaurants and function rooms are nestled between fish ponds, nurseries, groves, and rice fields. Despite its distance and yesterday's wet weather, it was a great setting for BFHE's representatives from all over Bicol.
The meeting's main purpose was to bid farewell to Dr. Dominador Peralta, Jr., who had served Bicol as Region 5 Director of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) for all of a complete decade – from December of 2000 to December of 2010. It was a pleasure, sad as these things also are, to give tribute to this civil servant on the threshhold of his voluntary retirement. Throughout the long years of tension between the HEIs of Region V and the Central Administration of CHED, Dr. Peralta always stood by the HEIs of Region V, public and private, mediating their concerns to CHED Central. Today, as many of the BFHE's protest positions have meanwhile been accepted under the more-enlightened leadership of CHED Chairman Dr. Patricia Licuanan – on the over-burdensome nursing curriculum, on the imperative for tertiary-level general education, on the importance of rationality in the dialogue process between CHED and the HEIs – it is sad to see this veteran civil servant retire. But he has served a full decade, and served his constituency well; he is most deserving of our sincerest thanks. Our hope is that in the youth of his retirement he not just fade into the sunset, but still make his wisdom available to the BFHE and the nation.
A surprise but welcome guest participant in the meeting was Congressman Louie Villafuerte of Camarines Sur.
In an earlier meeting, I had tried to follow up our earlier submission to him of a draft law amending The Professional Regulation Commission Modernization Act of 2000 (RA 8981). This had been submitted to his office in the light of complaints in the Region, echoed and re-echoed in the national representations of the CEAP and the COCOPEA, that the Philippine Regulatory Commission (PRC) seemed to be encroaching on the proper prerogatives of CHED to "reasonably regulate and supervise institutions of higher learning." Instead of letting CHED do this job, the PRC seemed to be arrogating this function to itself.
At root, however, the problem was not just of the PRC, but of law.
The neuralgic spot in RA 8981 was its Section 11 stating, "All subjects for licensure examinations shall be taught by persons who are holders of valid certificates of registration and valid professional licences of the profession." The Licensure Exam for Teachers (LET), however, is a known requirement for basic education gurus, the accepted requirement for tertiary education instructors being the Master's Degree. The PRC position was now demanding that for tertiary students of teacher education they all have passed the LET, even if they are already Masters in Arts or Masters in Science holders.
The suggested remedy: leave the reasonable regulation of tertiary education to CHED. Let PRC regulate professional practice, not professional education.
The draft of "An Act Ammending Section 11 of Republic Act No. 8981, otherwise known as the Professional Regulation Commission Modernization Act of 2000" was re-submitted to Congressman Villafuerte, and well received by him. After its Expanatory Note, it is very succinct:
"Section 1. Section 11 of the Professional Regulation Commission Modernization Act of 2000 is hereby amended to read as follows:
"Section 11: Persons to teach subject for Licensure Examination on all Professions. – The policies, standards and requirements of professional academic programs in the are of faculty as prescribed by the Commission on Higher Education in consulation with the respective professional boards shall be recognized by the Commission and complied with by higher education institutions."
If this is passed, it would help educators on the tertiary level considerably.
It may be good to note that in COCOPEA's formal dialogue with PRC, represented then by PRC Commissioner Nilo Rosas, on September 7, 2010 at Far Eastern University, there was agreement between the COCOPEA and the PRC that such an ammendment would be necessary.
Meanwhile, the BFHE Board with its special triple constituency of private HEIs, State Colleges and Universities, and Local Universities and Colleges, unanimously endorsed the draft legislation.
If the Congressman makes good his promise to the BFHE to enlist the support of his collegues in the House and in the Senate and get it approved into law in early 2011, it would be a special Christmas gift to all tertiary-level educators of the country and a happy way to start the new year!

Dominic Grieves protects Prince Charles from exposure
Attorney general vetoes Prince Charles letters publication
Prince Charles' letters were sent between September 2004 and April 2005
16 October 2012 Last updated at 15:14
Attorney General Dominic Grieve has blocked the release of private letters the Prince of Wales sent to seven government departments.
A court ruled last month that the correspondence should be published.
But Mr Grieve said it was an exceptional case where the letters formed part of the prince's "preparations for kingship".
The Guardian said it would seek to take the government to the high court to challenge the veto .
The Republic group called the ruling an "affront to democracy" which was "all about protecting Charles and the royal family from scrutiny".
'Practical benefit'
In his report, Mr Grieve said: "The ability of the Monarch to engage with the government of the day, whatever its political colour, and maintain political neutrality is a cornerstone of the UK's constitutional framework."
The Administrative Appeals Chamber said last month that in its view, it was in the public interest "for there to be transparency as to how and when Prince Charles seeks to influence government".
The case arose from a Freedom of Information request submitted by Guardian journalist Rob Evans.
Mr Evans wanted to see letters between Prince Charles and the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, the Department of Health, the Department for Children, Schools and Families (which is now the Department for Education), the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, the Northern Ireland Office and the Cabinet Office.
The information commissioner had denied the request, but the Administrative Appeals Chamber said the commissioner had given "insufficient weight to the public interest".
It ruled that 27 out of 30 items of correspondence, which it deemed to be "advocacy correspondence" should be published.
But the attorney general has used his powers to veto publication in exceptional cases, saying he had reached his decision having "taken account of the views of the cabinet, former ministers and the information commissioner".
He said that "in my view it is of very considerable practical benefit to the Prince of Wales' preparations for kingship that he should engage in correspondence and engage in dialogue with ministers about matters falling within the business of their departments."
"Discussing matters of policy with ministers and urging views upon them falls within the ambit of 'advising' or 'warning' about the government's actions."
'Particularly frank'
He said that, unlike the appeal court, he thought that the correspondent was part of Prince Charles' preparation for kingship so his attempts to influence policy could not be likened to that of any other lobbyist.
He accepted the argument that publication would help increase public "understanding of the influence of the Prince of Wales on matters of public policy" and inform the "broader debate surrounding constitutional reform".
"However, if they were decisive in the present case it would have to be at the expense of the strong public interest arguments against disclosure, centred up the Prince of Wales' preparation for kingship and the importance of not undermining his future role as Sovereign."
Mr Grieve said there was nothing improper in the nature or contents of the letters but that they reflected the prince's "most deeply held personal views and beliefs" and were in "many cases particularly frank".
"They also contain remarks about public affairs which would in my view, if revealed, have had a material effect upon the willingness of the government to engage in correspondence with the Prince of Wales and would potentially have undermined his position of political neutrality."
On its website, the Guardian said it "would be seeking to take the government to the High Court to challenge the veto on the grounds that it had acted unreasonably".
It added: "The prince has for some years been accused of meddling in government affairs and seeking to influence ministers to alter policy."
Graham Smith, chief executive of the Republic group, said: "It's an open secret that Prince Charles lobbies the government. What the public has a right to know is what he is lobbying for and whether he is actually influencing policy.
"This decision is a serious affront to British democracy and must be challenged."
A Clarence House spokeswoman declined to comment.

Ballard | New Discussion Topic
From Pastor Alex Early:
Mars Hill Ballard,
There's a lot going on here at Ballard and across all of our churches. I really believe the best is yet to come!
I want to let you know about some changes that occurred recently at Mars Hill Downtown Seattle that affect our church family, particularly the Ballard family as we are so close to Downtown and have many friends who attend there as well. As you will read below from the Executive Elders, Tim Gaydos, Lead Pastor of Mars Hill Downtown Seattle feels that he and his wife Brittany are being called into a new season of ministry away from Mars Hill. We love Tim and we are excited for his future, but this transition has come as a surprise to the elders.
In order to care for the church continue God's mission, the Executive Elders have put together a interim plan as they look for a replacement Lead Pastor. Below is a message that was posted to the Downtown Seattle church, and I wanted to share it with you so that you are up to speed as well. Please be praying for our brothers and sisters at Mars Hill Downtown Seattle, as well as for our Executive Elders.
Pastor Alex
Dear Mars Hill Downtown Seattle,
If you were able to join us for the Member's Meeting tonight, thank you for giving us your time on such short notice. We wanted to share the following statements from Tim Gaydos, the Downtown Seattle Elders, and the Executive Elders for those of you who were unable to make it.
From Tim Gaydos:
For the past seven years it has been a great joy and privilege to be a part of what God is doing at Mars Hill Church. These last few weeks Brittany and I have spent a great deal of time praying and discerning God's call upon our lives for the future and what would be the best use of my gifts and skills. It is bitter sweet as we announce that we believe God is moving us on to something new. Therefore, I have decided to resign my position as Lead Pastor of Mars Hill Downtown Seattle.
We believe God has made it clear to us that we have a new season of life and ministry ahead of us. This was a very hard decision for Brittany and I, as we do love the people of Mars Hill so dearly. Although we are very confident that you will continue to be cared for by the leadership at Mars Hill.
We are praying about the next steps for us, and as we step out in faith we are asking God to walk with us through this next season. I know that God has great things in store for you in the future, and I know we will always treasure the years we had together. We are very grateful for the relationships and friendships that God has provided for us over the years. I know it may be hard for some to understand our decision, and maybe some of you have had those moments in your life where something seemed so illogical, but you know it's something you have to do. We will miss you all very much.
– Tim Gaydos
From Pastor Jamie Munson, on behalf of the Downtown Seattle Elders:
As elders of the Downtown Seattle church, many of us who have known Tim and Brittany for many years, we are saddened to hear about Tim's decision to step down as Lead Pastor. We are so grateful for what God has done at Downtown, and for the amazing ways he's worked through his people and through Tim Gaydos. This church has grown from just a few hundred, to more than 1500 under Tim's leadership. It continues to grow and we look forward to the day when we will soon fill every seat in this beautiful building.
One thing that we want to make clear is that Tim Has not committed any sin, or done anything that would disqualify him as an elder. Tim has been a great leader, and a great friend. He will be missed, and we will have a hard time filling his shoes, but we are very confident that God will continue to bless this church.
– Pastor Jamie Munson and the Downtown Seattle elders
From the Executive Elders:
Mars Hill, we are also very sad to see our good friend Tim move on from Mars Hill. It is not our desire for Tim to leave, as we love the Gaydos family very much, and we believe Tim is well suited for this job. We would prefer that Tim remain as the Lead Pastor of Mars Hill Downtown Seattle indefinitely, especially in light of the recent relocation to the heart of downtown, the growing influence of the church, and our big Easter celebration broadcasting live from the Downtown church in just a few weeks.
However, Tim believes it is time for him to move onto something else. While Tim offered to stay on staff until a replacement is found, the executive elders met with Tim and made the decision that it would be in the best interest of the church for his resignation to take effect immediately, and the Downtown Seattle elders concurred with the decision. We love him and his family and we don't want them to suffer through this transition, so we have offered him 3 months of severance, and will continue to pay for his medical benefits through the birth of their new baby.
The news of Tim Gaydos leaving Mars Hill was unexpected and unforeseen, so we've put together an interim plan to care for you as we seek a new leader. As a church family, this is a very important time for us to care for each other and not be divisive, as we seek a leader who can lovingly and firmly lead this church towards embracing the mission and vision of Mars Hill, and what God has in store for one of our largest churches. As we consider the best candidate to lead the Downtown Seattle church, Pastor AJ Hamilton has accepted the responsibility to step in as the interim Lead Pastor of Downtown Seattle. Pastor AJ is a trustworthy and hardworking pastor that recently relocated to Bellevue from Mars Hill Albuquerque to lead our Community Groups ministry across all 14 churches. Pastor AJ was lead pastor of Mars Hill Albuquerque, so you are in very good hands.
To provide support for Pastor AJ, Pastor Jason Skelton from our Bellevue church has joined the leadership team at Downtown Seattle as Executive Pastor. Our Bellevue church has been blessed with very gifted leaders and is one of our strongest and most stable churches. Lead Pastor Thomas Hurst will remain at Bellevue and has a wonderful team of elders to support our mission on the Eastside. We believe these changes will provide you with a very strong leadership team to help care for the church during this transition. It is our desire to find a permanent Lead Pastor as soon as we can.
Mars Hill, we love you very much and we encourage you to stand strong during this season. This is a great time to step up to leadership, take on a serving role, or become a member of the church. We need faithful servants and humble leaders to carry the mission forward. Please pray and consider where God may have you serve. To come and serve Downtown, Pastor Mark will also begin preaching live from Downtown Seattle more often, as well as preaching live from Bellevue. We hope that these leadership changes are encouraging to you, as we have been very blessed with gifted leaders who love this church very much.
Lastly, we know that transitions like this can be unsettling, particularly within a church that loves it's elders as much as the people of Mars Hill do. Please join us in praying for our church to stay strong and continue to grow through this season. We believe a revival is coming to Seattle, and there's nothing the enemy wants more than for our church to turn on itself or flee when there's any sign of difficult times. We look forward to the amazing things God has in store for our church, particularly Mars Hill Downtown Seattle, and we'd like to encourage each of you as we grow in the grace and knowledge of our lord and savior, Jesus Christ.
For God's glory,
Pastor Dave Bruskas, Pastor Sutton Turner, and Pastor Mark Driscoll

BBC Radio One, Great Portland Street, London.
The target.
Being in there for two days and then having to leave (not forcefully luckily – that's what you get for befriending the security guard).
For those of you who are not religious followers of my blog, I was lucky enough to be granted the opportunity to record a demo at BBC Radio One. A demo is simply a three minute amalgamation of what you believe proves you to be an ace radio presenter – so you would hand it in to a job application as an addition to your CV. Although as this has so many elements it's not exactly three minutes.
Once the reality of going up to London to record this demo sunk in, it dawned on me about how under-prepared I felt. I only created my original demo from two weeks of properly structured shows. Before my shows were developed ramblings of a girl learning to use the studio properly.
So the people at R1 are expecting me to come in, have a show schedule sorted, maybe some features, and probably planned to high heaven – whereas the reality was me worrying that they had made a big mistake, and will be realising this sooner than expected.
I headed up to old London town the Wednesday before to gain a better idea of how we were going to do this demo, and to meet up with SRACON judges Sam Gregory, Chris North and Neil Sloan.
We came to the decision, seeing as I am training to be a journalist and am not entirely sure about my future yet, that I would sample several styles of Radio One shows. So the list was compiled to be:
– Specialist new music sell (I chose Jamie Woon).
– Promotion of the Nero's Dubstep Symphony.
I feel that this was to be the best way of me utilizing R1 facilities, so if I apply for a presenter job then I would send both this demo and a general one.
The day itself was quite surreal. The Wednesday during my first visit I met Scott Mills moisturising on the floor of the daytime office and was introduced to Greg James. On the actual day I grazed shoulders with Chris Moyles, Fearne Cotton, and was lucky enough to sit in on Greg's show. I didn't take any photos as the fan girl inside me wanted to. But my pride wanted to try and look more respectable to the future people I want to work with. Also not owning a decent camera had a big impact. Maybe I could have asked to have borrowed one of the several paparazzi's cameras?
Seeing the dynamics between the presenters, producers and the rest of the team just makes me want to work there more. Hopefully after this demo this could make my radio career at R1 closer to reality and seem slightly more in sight.
I think the demo itself went quite well. There are bits I would like to redo. The key element that stands out to me is that, especially with the chart rundown, my confidence grew nearer to the end. But I see this as a working progress. I am only in my first year at BU, so would want to finish my degree before seriously thinking of getting a job in radio.
I think any feedback would be good, but as I said – work in progress, the best is yet to come.

If making compliments in another language is difficult swearing is – well – darn difficult. You have to walk the fine line between saying something that is actually considered swearing – and not something little old British ladies like to say such as "oh dear", "bloody hell" or "what a pain in the neck" – and not being so gross and outrageous that you offend everybody around you.
One thing to keep in mind is that – American prudishness aside – most swearing has a sexual connotation, the so-called f-word is absolutely everywhere. The s-word held so dearly in German swearing is used but not quite as frequently.
From they way these last two sentences are written you can tell that the less offensive description, namely f-word is used frequently, especially when kids are around. Everybody knows what the f-word is – it requires no further explanation and is unambiguous.

#OWomaniya : The 'glitter' of this 'bug' can surely make your day
By Tarry
Hi my sweeties and lovelies…..
Recently, some of you emailed me asking why I stopped the column 'O Womaniya'. Well actually, I did not stop it. Afterall, there are never enough of women who are doing an amazing job with entrepreneurship. But somehow, things were a bit belayed.
However, 'O Womaniya' is back and in action. Meet our new 'O Womaniya' Anmol Shetty, who through her brand Glitterbug is making lovely and affordable jewellery…. From passion to profession and now, superb passion…
Meet Anmol and her 'The Glitterbug'
|Indian Lifestyle Blog / #OWomaniya : The 'glitter' of this 'bug' can
surely make your day
- Tell us a bit about yourself dear
A Mumbaikar at heart now settled in Bangalore after marriage, I have completed my Engg & MBA in Finance but working in the corporate world didn't cater to the creative streak in me. So after shifting to Bangalore I decided to start off on my own with the support of my husband.
- How did The Glitterbug happen? And how did the name come in?
Well, I always wanted to do something like creative, where I make something with my own hands. I started researching online and came across stunning beaded creations by the Beaders in USA, and this beaders association is what inspired me to get into handcrafted jewellery designing. Afterall, the pleasure of making something with our hands is simply out of this world.
- What does The Glitterbug offer to all lovers of jewellery?
The normal perception about handmade jewellery is that it is not classy enough, that it cannot compete with readymade accessories in terms of quality & most importantly, it can only be worn with ethnic wear. My aim is to design pieces which cater to women of all age groups and for different occasions. Hoops, Dangling earrings ,charm bracelets, anklets, necklace sets made with glass beads, metal as well as semiprecious beads. One can also check out our exquisite range of imported European charm bracelets.
|Indian Lifestyle Blog / The 'glitter' of this 'bug' can surely make your day
- How has been your journey so far?
Each day is a new learning opportunity for me. At Glitterbug, we believe in constantly challenging ourselves to come up with even better designs to keep our customers hooked & charmed, quite literally. The Glitterbug recently celebrated its 1st anniversary & we have almost touched 3000 followers on FB. Off late, on popular demand we have even started participating in selective exhibitions across Bangalore. But we ship across India.
|Indian Lifestyle Blog / The Glitterbug jewellery and accessories
- What has been the happiest and most memorable moment with The Glitterbug?
Every appreciation we receive from our beloved connoisseurs is a new feather added to our cap. With the amount of love & support we have received in this short span of time, it's hard to pick & choose one special moment.
|Indian Lifestyle Blog / The Glitterbug jewellery and accessories
- Any hiccups or challenges in the journey and how you managed them?
Our biggest challenge is customizing jewellery to suit the tastes of women from different cultures & cities. But, it's a challenge we enjoy undertaking. Also just like any other field, we face a lot of competition , but as time passes by The Glitterbug is working on setting a benchmark for others to follow
- What are your future plans?
Our biggest aim right now is to have our own website, although we are thriving well on Instagram and Facebook. For The Glitterbug, the sky is the limit and I just want to see the glow of the bug all across the globe.
Check out The Glitterbug's collection on Facebook at : https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Glitterbug-Handcrafted-Jewelry-More/221752388030047?ref=tn_tnmn
And on Instagram at : https://instagram.com/the_glitterbug/
OMG! You are so pretty Anmol. Really loved the pix of yours. And yes, your handcrafted jewellery is very pretty indeed and ofcourse can go with a number pf attires. All the best to you and your brand. May your bug keep glowing.

UCR Scientist named to state board
UCR Toxicologist Named to State Science Advisory Board
David Eastmond, a cell biology professor and research toxicologist,is named to the Carcinogen Identification Committee.
(August 5, 2005)
NEWS MEDIA CONTACTName: Kris Lovekin
Tel: (951) 827-2495
E-mail: email@example.com
David Eastmond
Eastmond is one of nine UC-affiliated scientists named to two committees of the board. Seventeen appointments were made on Thursday. The appointments do not require Senate confirmation and there is no salary attached to them.
With expertise on the cancer-causing potential of agricultural and environmental chemicals on humans and animals, Eastmond was named to the Carcinogen Identification Committee. He is a professor and chair of the Environmental Toxicology Graduate Program at UC Riverside. He was an assistant research toxicologist at UC Berkeley and a postdoctoral fellow at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. He is a member of the Society of Toxicology and American Association for the Advancement of Sciences.
One important goal of his research is to provide information allowing the potential adverse health effects associated with chemical exposure in human populations to be more accurately estimated. Currently investigations are underway to study the metabolism and chromosome-damaging effects of several cancer-causing agents including benzene, a widely used industrial chemical and environmental pollutant, ortho-phenylphenol, an extensively used fungicide and disinfectant and N-nitrosodimethylamine, a component found in tobacco smoke.
Joining Eastmond on the Carcinogen Identification Committee is UC colleague James Felton, a research scientist and director of the Biology and Biotechnology Program at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. He has also served as associate director for cancer control at the UC Davis Cancer Center. Previously, Felton was a National Institutes of Health staff fellow at the developmental pharmacology branch of the National Institute of Child Health in Bethesda, MD. He is a member of the Mutation Research editorial board and Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis editorial board.
Also named to the committee is Solomon Hamburg, a partner at Tower Hematology Oncology Medical Group and a clinical professor of medicine at the UCLA School of Medicine. He is president and chief executive officer of Tower Cancer Research Foundation, and a member of the American Society of Hematology and American Society of Clinical Oncology.
Six UC affiliates were among the appointees to the Development and Reproductive Toxicant Identification Committee. They are:
- Ellen Gold, a professor in the department of health sciences at UC Davis.
- Calvin Hobel, vice chairman of obstetrics and gynecology at Cedar Sinai Medical Center. From 1967 to 1983, Hobel was chief of obstetrics at UCLA Medical Center.
- Kenneth Jones, a professor of pediatrics at the UC San Diego School of Medicine.
- Carl Keen, a professor and chair of the department of nutrition at UC Davis.
- Hillary Klonoff-Cohen, a professor in residence in the division of epidemiology at UC San Diego.

Daniel Radcliffe Wants to Play Iggy Pop & Now All Of 'Harry Potter' Needs to Go Punk
Although Harry Potter movies are no longer in production, it seems like the cast is getting a little rebellious. The actor behind the titular character, Daniel Radcliffe, was recently asked what rock star he'd like to play while promoting his current movie, What If, on the radio. His answer? "I've often said Iggy Pop. Just cause we've got a similar, gnarly sort of slightly strange skinny bodies. Where you're like, 'You're skinny, but are you healthy.' But I don't know, other than that. What really short white rock stars were there?"
And Radcliffe isn't the only one. Rupert Grint, aka Ron Weasley, recently played Cheetah Chrome, guitarist for The Dead Boys, in the CBGB movie. So if Ron and Harry aren't afraid to pick up a guitar and give a finger to the man, how would the rest of Hogwarts look in the safety pins and leather instead of robes and wands? After all, the wizard rock band the Weird Sisters had to have some influence from the punk era, so what if the rest of the Harry Potter characters took up the inspiration?
Here are some of your favorite Harry Potter characters and their punk rock spirit animals:
Hermione Granger (Emma Watson): Patti Smith
Like Hermione, Patti Smith is also an intellectual and activist. She's written multiple books and is an outspoken anti-war activist. Her depth, strength and conviction make her a good match for one of the smartest and biggest feminists in Hogwarts.
Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton): Johnny Rotten
Although Draco would probably have a lot of disdain for all punk music (especially its politics) there are a couple things he has in common with the Sex Pistol's Johnny Rotten: bleach-blonde hair and a bad attitude.
Ginny Weasley (Bonnie Wright): Viv Albertine
The guitarist of the (mostly) female band The Slits was not only a woman to be reckoned with, but she was also one of the biggest fans of the Sex Pistols and was also involved with Mick Jones from The Clash.
Professor Snape (Alan Rickman): Joey Ramone
An awkward looking dude with long, lanky black hair? Sounds like Severus Snape, all right. And Joey Ramone was the member of The Ramones who experienced the biggest heartbreak: fellow bandmate Johnny Ramone dated and later married Joey's ex-girlfriend.

I would point out the following:

-- Morals and Dogma is not some kind of "Masonic Bible," nor was Albert Pike some kind of "Masonic Pope." Pike was here making a statement of his own opinion, nothing more.

-- The meaning of the passage--itself largely copied from Eliphas Levi's The History of Magic (1860/1913, p. 36)--is clearly explained by Arturo de Hoyos in his Annotated Edition of Albert Pike's Morals and Dogma (2011), which has become the de facto standard edition. I refer you to pp. 57-58.

Essentially, Pike (quoting Levi) is simply saying two things:

(1) The name of Lucifer, meaning "the Light Bearer," and his history as a Son of the Morning (KJV Isaiah 14:12), are each in sharp contrast with the current nature of the one we know as "the Prince of Darkness."

(2) Lucifer, deceptively appearing as an angel of light, "blinds feeble, sensual, or selfish souls," a position entirely in harmony with biblical Christianity (see in the New Testament, 2 Corinthians 11:14).

The fact that anti-Masons interpret a Christian-friendly, Bible-consistent passage as somehow being a reflection of Satanism shows just how weak the anti-Masonic case is.Mark Koltko-Riverahttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5500565510272388654.post-76608621246629879472013-06-01T20:19:18.848-04:002013-06-01T20:19:18.848-04:00"Lucifer, the Light-bearer!

"Mercedes-Benz USA To all concerned:

We apologize to anyone offended by the use of the ring worn in our commercial, 'Soul,' that ran during the Super Bowl.

It was not our intention to make any association with the Freemasons or any organization. In fact, neither we nor our advertising agency were aware that the ring could be associated with the Freemasons. To avoid any confusion going forward, we will modify the commercial prior to any future television airings.

It's only libelous if people believe it. Nobody could possibly think this is evidence that our fraternity is Satanic. Even the most deranged conspiracy nut will see this for what it is: an attempt at humor (not a very good one at that) by people who obviously have nothing to do with Freemasonry.

This is a silly thing to worry about and complain about. Ignore it.
