Webinar : Retaining Immigrants in Rural Communities
Source: Rural Development Institute, Brandon University.
April 18, 2012. Appropriate recruitment and retention strategies are contingent upon and shaped by social, economic and political contexts. Experiences of migrants to rural areas may be different from urban areas, given that larger centres have been destinations for international immigrants over a prolonged period of time.
Addressing issues and opportunities related to retention and 'integration' in rural areas merit different approaches for whole community solutions involving multiple stakeholders, including business. Join us in this free webinar to hear leading research on retaining immigrants in rural centres.
Drawing on research undertaken in rural Scotland and other parts of the UK, Dr. Philomena de Lima will:
* Address the rationale for attracting migrants, related trends and challenges.
* Identify strategies and actions, focusing on the importance of seeing migrants as active agents in the process of adaptation in their new destinations.
From a review of literature and RDI case studies, Anisa Zehtab-Martin discusses strategies from provincial levels and local communities.
Our third presenter is Ian Shanghvi a student research assistant at RDI who will report on his research regarding employer retention strategies. He finds employers need to pay particular attention to retaining multi-cultural employees.
Together, these three presenters provide valuable perspectives on retaining newcomers for elected officials, government service providers, settlement agencies, economic developers, and business owners in rural centres.
This free webinar will be: Wednesday, April 18, 2012 - 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
For more information or to register: firstname.lastname@example.com or 204-571-8550 (RSVP by April 13, 2012).

The New Year is here and many of us are making New Year's resolutions to be a healthier version of ourselves. Did you know that 80% of all New Year's resolutions fail by February? While that is a daunting statistic, this doesn't have to be your story! Many people begin a fitness resolution with gumption, but due to injury, inflammation, or overuse, they are forced to put down their gym back and pick up an ice pack.
At Thuasne USA, we specialize in creating custom-fitted braces that not only can help speed up healing time and reduce pain but also allow for active recovery. Our braces are built for movement so that you can keep your fitness goals no matter what injury comes your way in 2019.
So what do we recommend for people who suffer from an injury that threatens their fitness goals? Here is one of our top selling braces for the most common injury that people will experience in the gym:
Foot and Ankle Injuries
Foot and ankle injuries are some of the most common injuries a person will face in their lifetime. Perhaps because these body parts carry a lot of weight and control rapid movements such as twisting and turning, injuries to the foot and ankle are very common. Sudden twists and turns may result in a disruption of ankle fibers causing a sprain or strain, and sometimes even surgery. Acute sprains can usually be managed at home with the trustworthy RICE (rest, ice, compression, and elevation) treatment, but in order to get back into the active swing of things, a brace or sometimes rehabilitation is necessary. Sometimes, these sprains are not acute, but chronic and cause a much more in-depth rehabilitation route. And in extreme cases, the ankle is injured to the point of surgery. Seeing a doctor for any of these injuries will allow them to prescribe the best brace and rehabilitation plan.
For most types of strains, sprains or ligament injuries, doctors often recommend our Malleo Dynastab Boa foot and ankle brace. This brace is designed to move with the patient, allowing for stability and immobilization of the injured ankle during activities. The Malleo Dynastab Boa offers:
- Fast, easy to fit with reliable Boa tightening system, has a lifetime guarantee
- Wide openings for easy application and removal so you can take it with you
- Resistant and comfortable lightweight metal reinforcements
- Figure 8 strapping system provides additional lateral reinforcement to keep the ankle in place no matter the movement
- Lightweight and comfortable antibacterial-treated 3D knit for effective moisture-wicking
- Slim low-profile design allows brace to be worn in most types of shoes
The Thuasne Difference
The Malleo Dynastab Boa ankle brace may be one of our best-selling foot and ankle braces, but it is not your only option. All of our foot and ankle braces have the same aim in mind: to reduce pain, immobilize the injured body part, while keeping you comfortable. Our other foot and ankle braces fall into the following categories and corresponding distinctions:
- Soft Ankle Braces: Designed to provide comfortable stabilization for patients who have suffered foot and ankle injuries, or who are recovering from surgery.
- Semi-Rigid Ankle Braces: Designed to provide stability for patients with ankle and foot instabilities, inversion and eversion issues.
- Rigid Ankle Braces: Designed to provide post-op immobilization and motion control during the rehabilitation process.
- Custom Rigid Ankle Braces: Designed to provide stability for patients with ankle and foot instabilities, inversion and eversion issues.
- Spry-Step Dynamic AFO: For patients who have suffered a stroke or other clinical indications that lead to drop foot.
- Walking Boots: Designed to provide stability or immobilization after a foot, toe, or ankle trauma, including sprains, strains, fractures, and surgeries.
- Splints: Routinely prescribed for patients with Plantar Fasciitis and Achilles Tendonitis
We know that not all injuries are created equal, and neither are our braces. In addition to off-the-shelf bracing, we also offer custom fabricated braces to fit each individual on a level that is personal to their rehabilitation needs. Ask your doctor today about ordering one of our OTS or custom-fitted braces so you can start and finish 2019 strong! Your goals are our goals and we are honored to be able to partner with you in achieving and exceeding your aspirations!

A great deal of individuals inquire about Medicare Plan F moving away. Yesin 2020they will phase out Plan F. It will be no longer be accessible for new enrollees. Medicare beneficiaries who are already enrolled in it, however, will have the ability to retain it. Congress passed laws that will no more allow Medicare supplement policies to pay for the Part B deductible for newly eligible Medicare beneficiaries on or after January 1, 2020.
Here is an illustration: if you have no nutritional supplement, you would owe a 1,384 allowance (Part A deductible in 2019) when you visit the hospital. You would also pay 20% of expensive procedures like surgery because Section B only pays 80%.
Yes, You are enrolled in Original Medicare (Parts A and B). |} You need assurance of mind knowing you will have help with many of the costs that Original Medicare does not cover. You'd like the flexibility to see any physician who accepts Medicare, not just the physicians in a network, and with no referral. You intend to go to the usa and need to have the ability to see any physician who accepts Medicare. You find a doctor who charges over the Medicare-approved level for care. You'd like to obtain different dental and vision insurance coverage as soon as you're registered. No, You're not enrolled in Original Medicare (Parts A and B). You have coverage from an employer who pays all or a few of the prices that Original Medicare doesn't cover. You have coverage through your union that pays all or a few of the prices that Original Medicare does not cover. You are going to sign up for a Medicare Advantage plan (Component C).
Therefore, it is not a true Medicare Supplement policy because it does not coordinate benefits with Medicare. |} The response to this question depends on one factor. Do you know you will have adequate income and assets to cover all medical expenses NOT covered by Medicare, such as deductibles, copayments, or even non-covered services? If you aren't sure the answer is yes, or if you do not wish to risk it, you must explore your options for supplementing Medicare.
Medigap Plan G in Salinas California 93912 offers all of the benefits of Plan F, and with the exception of the Part B deductible. |} If you choose Plan G, you'll want to pay the typical yearly Medicare Part B deductible ($185 in 2019) from pocket.
Every business needs to market Plan A, that's the basic plan. The typical plans are labeled A through L. Remember, the programs are all standardized. Thus, Plan F from one company will be the same as Plan F out of the other corporation. Choose the nutritional supplement policy which fits your needs, and then purchase that strategy from the firm which offers the lowest premiums and finest customer services.
This absolutely varies by area. Because Medicare supplement insurance programs in Salinas CA 93912 are standardized, you do not need to be concerned about benefits being distinct. This means that you'll want to scout out the Medicare gap strategies with the lowest rates in your town. The very best supplemental insurance prices will differ in each condition, and your age, sex, tobacco use and eligibility for an family reduction also impact your rate.
At the hospital: Because of the Part A deductible, you'd pay the first $1,216. After 60 days, you'll begin paying a portion of every day's cost.
This advice isn't a full description of benefits. Contact the program to learn more. Limitations, copayments, and limitations may apply. Benefits, premiums and/or manhood cost-share may vary on January 1 each year.

It was essay week and the weather beautiful, in spurts. We moved the table into the conservatory…
…and did school out there.
I bought new washing powder and my nerdy wordy brain is not impressed with the marketing.
My brain tells me that should say "does less", which is poor!
Tim brought home Scottish Power's latest consultation document. Now there is something I am familiar with. How random to see your own house on a glossy publication.
Essays were handed in at the end of the week and I stood an inch taller as the weight lifted off my shoulders. Actually, we measured everyone and it is official. Rich Tea boy is taller than me! Longshanks, meanwhile, had grown an inch in two months.
The deep clean continues. Today, rules devised by a four year old were found.
That's all folks!

New power transformer for Delaware historic coastal town
USA, Delaware: In an effort to address Sussex County's growing population, Delmarva Power has initiated a $7 million upgrade to its Midway Substation on Route 1 near Wawa in Lewes, Delaware.
The upgrade project includes installing of a new power transformer and three transmission circuit breakers, and the realigning of transmission and distribution feeds entering and exiting the substation, reports Cape Gazette.
The 69 kV substation was built in 2005 and is a major interconnection point with other coastal substations, serving thousands of customers between Lewes and Rehoboth Beach along the Route 1 corridor.
"This important project is one of numerous infrastructure improvements planned throughout our service territory over the next several years," said John Allen, Delmarva Power region vice president.
Construction is expected to begin in mid-2017 and be completed by May 2018.

Walnut Fudge Brownies
Having arrived home chocolateless from Ghent and with nothing sweet in the house, it didn't take me too long to wonder what I could knock up in a hurry. A quick look through my books for a brownie recipe I haven't yet tried, revealed these rather gorgeous sounding brownies from Linda Collister's Divine.
This is how I did it – quickly the one pan way:
- Melted 125g unsalted butter with 100g 85% dark chocolate
- Stirred in 240g vanilla sugar (or add 1 tsp vanilla extract)
- Beat in 2 duck eggs.
- Stirred in 100g flour (85g wholemeal spelt and 15g buckwheat)
- Stirred in 75g chopped walnuts
- Poured into a greased 22 cm square tin and baked for 15 mins at 180C
- Meanwhile …….
- Melted 100g unsalted butter in the same unwashed pan.
- Beat in 100g of light muscovado sugar until incorporated.
- Beat in 2 tbsp double cream
- Stirred in 75g chopped walnuts
- Poured this over the not quite cooked brownies and put back in the oven for a further 5 mins.
- Tried to leave to cool, but couldn't quite manage it – then cut into 16 squares.

Chocolateless from Ghent – sounds like your generosity is greater than mine to have given it all away. As ever these look great, planning your choc/cardamom shortbread for the weekend though I'm *meant* to be on a diet, but it's a friend's birthday so I'll stretch the rules a bit
Choclette22nd September 2010 at 1:26 pm
Oxslip – I didn't bring that much back, so not as generous as you make out. Everyday, I plan the diet that is going to start tomorrow – sigh!. Hope the shortbread works out well – I really liked them with cinnamon too.
Maya Russell28th July 2013 at 5:42 am
I suppost the sticky topping means you have to eat them straight away. Oh dear!!! 🙂

A few days ago, I wrote an essay on why I believe horror writing is, indeed, an art form, and a massively under-appreciated one, at that. Over the years, I've consumed absurd amounts of horror literature, from ancient texts to more modern classics to some of today's emerging artists, as a quick glance at my bookshelf reveals. (And I'm talking actual bookshelf here, actually standing in my dining room, overflowing with more books than could ever fit onto its seven-foot frame.)
As always, some works stand out more than others. For whatever reason, some tales and their creators tend to resonate with different people in different ways. Instead of offering up a best-of list or something similar, I thought I'd just go through a half a dozen books among the many, that stuck with me, inspired me a bit, if you will.
The Haunting of Hill House–Shirley Jackson
Best book ever. Hands down. Bar none. This book has stopped me from ever really writing a full-on haunted house story because there is simply no earthly (or unearthly) way that I could improve upon the perfection of Jackson's masterpiece. This story has so many levels that it still takes some time after reading it to figure out what exactly had gone on.
Was the house actually haunted? Was Eleanor the one doing the haunting herself? I'm still not sure. I alternate every time I read it; and I've read it a lot. My copy is a crumbling paperback held together by a rubber band at the moment–a testament to a well-used life.
Sometimes, I'm convinced that the house really is an evil force and poor, sensitive, fragile little Eleanor is the perfect bait for its unholy attentions. But then, other times, I persuade myself that the house is totally benign, and that Eleanor is the protagonist, taking a mind that was on the brink to begin with and dropping all the way into madness and obsession within the house. I'm just not sure either way, and that's part of what makes this book so perfect. It doesn't really matter.
What Shirley Jackson's aforementioned novel did for haunted houses, Matheson's I Am Legend has done for vampires, and to a lesser extent, zombies. That is, after reading this, I just couldn't conceive of a more unique angle for a vampire/undead tale, so why try?
Let me say, I didn't care for the Will Smith film version. I like the old Charlton Heston version, The Omega Man, a little better, but it still didn't bring the book across in all its glory. Sometimes, that's just not possible, and this book, short as it is (not even 200 pages) may be one of those.
The gist of this story, however echoes through mainstream horror to this day. Reanimated, undead corpses caused by a mutant bacteria unleashed in a massive epidemic infecting nearly the entire planet. Sound familiar? This book, while ostensibly about vampires, actually invented the entire zombie genre that pervades everything these days.
The book's conclusion is near-perfect to my way of thinking. You never consider such things, that in a world populated with vampires and zombie vampires, a lone human being would become an object of fear and superstition. I just love the fact that the Legend referred to in the title is not at all what I expected it meant before I read the book.
Something Wicked This Way Comes–Ray Bradbury
Ray Bradbury is an interesting guy. It's hard to pin down exactly what genre he works in, and I believe that's the way he likes it. Many times, I find the Bradbury books lumped in with science fiction, but I don't think that fits completely. Something Wicked This Way Comes, however, is unambiguous. It's horror, plain and simple.
Rolling into the idyllic little burg of Greentown one autumn comes a carnival. It's leader, a Mr. Dark, secretly entices patrons to live their fantasies, but for a price. Those who partake become bound to the carnival, and immortalized as a tattoo on Mr. Dark's body.
The story is told in Bradbury's best, creepiest voice, even making the darkness and decay of the carnival beautiful in a haunting sort of way. It's a basic battle between good versus evil at its core, but the elements of temptation, desire, and a yearning for one's lost youth carve out a richly spooky landscape.
The conclusion can seem a bit light and fluffy, especially for a book as genuinely creepy as this one, but it doesn't bother me. Mr. Dark is evil and feeds off of darker emotions. It makes some sense that positive emotions could give him fits. But that's only a minor issue. This book is simply a beauty of atmospheric horror.
Of the classic Victorian horror novels, Dracula always was my favorite. Frankenstein has its place but was a little too much like a philosophy class for my taste. Jekyll and Hyde was a good look at the darkness that lives in all men, but Stevenson's writing, even on darker subject matters like Hyde, always seemed much better suited to children's epic adventures like Treasure Island. For my money, Dracula is the best of that group.
Bram Stoker, by all reports a somewhat repressed personality himself, did manage to draft a very dense and comprehensive tale that treats the concepts of love and sexuality in a manner very un-Victorian. The mysterious count leaves his Transylvanian abode to travel to London to find what he believes to be his long lost love. By now, everyone knows the gist of the tale. But Stoker writes it in such a way that the theme of temptations of the flesh that runs throughout is almost palpable. And I, for one, like the ending.
There is no way Dracula is dead. Certainly, he was stabbed through the heart and dissolved into dust, but I think that was a ruse. The book itself even set up the use of a wooden stake through the heart earlier, why would a simple bowie knife work at the end on the most powerful of all vampires? It wouldn't. The count wanted them to believe him dead. That's my take, and I'm sticking to it. Dracula lives on!
Stephen King might not be anywhere near the class of writers that make up much of this list, but I would be remiss if he didn't play some part. If you liked horror during the time I grew up, you simply couldn't avoid King's work. I read many of his novels–Pet Cemetery likely being my favorite–but it was always his short stories I enjoyed the most. And his first collection of those stories, Night Shift, has stayed with me through the years.
The amount of material in Night Shift that later became films or other works is startling. Salem's Lot, Graveyard Shift, The Mangler, Maximum Overdrive, The Lawnmower Man, Cat's Eye, Sometimes They Come Back, Childen of the Corn and more I'm sure I'm forgetting, all had their origins in this one little story collection from the late '70s.
While I've often felt King's novels were over-long and a bit rambling, I always considered him an underrated short story writer. Maybe it's because his ideas are distilled more in a short story, I don't know, but if I read any of King's work today, it'll almost always be Night Shift or his later short story collection, Skeleton Crew.
Bloodcurdling Tales of Horror and the Macabre–H.P. Lovecraft
While I'm on the subject of short stories, another of my favorite books is this collection of H.P. Lovecraft's work. If you've never read Lovecraft, you should. His world is one where the very fabric of reality hangs by just a thread and there are always bigger, darker, scarier beings waiting just behind the veil to cross over.
Lovecraft writes is such a nicely polished way, yet much of his work sets you at immediate unease. He frequently describes how angles in a room or structure have an unsettling affect, but his prose is much the same. Reading Lovecraft just puts you slightly off, uncomfortable, if you will.
So many times in his tales, events take a wild, seemingly insane turn, yet his characters adapt as if they're going to the grocery store as they try to stop a 100,000 year old creature from crossing into this realm and wreaking havoc. Very few writers more clearly allow you to relate to someone's descent into total madness as Lovecraft does. It makes his work simultaneously exhilarating and disconcerting. What better advertisement could you need for a horror author?
For more scares and your otherwise generally creepy reading pleasure, check out my new short story collection Devil's Dozen. And if that's not enough for you, try my earlier collection, Bad Timing.

Second Week
January 11, 2009 14:03
Well, I didn't accomplish everything I wanted to this week. Surprise.... surprise. However, I did accomplish SOME of the things I wanted to, so that's at least some small comfort.
I got the screamer working again. As I detailed earlier this week, that process was somewhat more complicated than I had been hoping, so it took more of my free time to implement. However, it's up and running now. I'm hoping over this week to migrate the storage from Nova to Amadeus and to move the firecracker over as well, along with the lampmaster interface. Once that's accomplished, Nova will no longer have any active functions and I can pull it from the cabinet and move Amadeus into its place. Nova will then be the test platform for the next computer.
I have found at least 2 HD's, one 40gb and another I think 80gb. I have no idea what's on them, likely nothing of particular interest. However they can be used as the base drives in at least 2 more servers. I'm going to want to set up one server as a test platform for my electronics projects. A system in the living room would be nice too. I have the room networked, and that's where I've been doing my system building, but I'd rather do all of that in the office. Less mess out there and all that.
I need to clean the office. Clearing all the clutter off the desks will take about an hour. No problem there. It's my workbenches that are the issue. I've made some headway with creation of the server cabinet. I have a lot more available workspace to actually WORK on, as opposed to before where the entire workbench was a multilayered horizontal storage system. I still have a lot of clutter to clear off of there and at least put on low shelves or something to get them off the tables so I have at least 6 ft on the one table and 3 ft on the other to work. Some table space will be needed for the scopes and a workstation for that location, but even those I might possibly move off onto shelves. We shall see.
To complicate that plan further, I need a long term organization plan for my electronics devices and components. Right now, at least for the larger stuff, I've resorted to stashing stuff into bins and stacking them in the closet... and other places. That works for bulk storage, but I have no idea what I have, and anytime I'm planning out a new project, I only can vaguely recall that I've purchased some components at some point in the past, but I wouldn't know where they are. I've got about 5 component storage systems available to me, I just need to organize them in a useful fashion as well as develop and maintain an inventory detailing my current quantity, location, and cost and resource to purchase more. I want something as useful as your average component shop for finding something, although I need to compress it to fit in the confines of the office and do so in a pleasing and non-cluttered way. I'll likely start a new project and documents to discuss this plan further.
As for the extra workstation in here, it won't need to be high powered, but at the moment, I'm a bit short on monitors. They don't seem to last as long as the rest of the components, but I should have a few working ones at my disposal SOMEWHERE that can at least handle a text screen, which is usually all I'll require. Marjorie has been spending more time in the office with us... usually co-opting my computer in the process to play Sims 2 or play with the website, and I'm certainly not going to discourage it. However, it's annoying because, as you would expect, people send lots of messages and ask lots of questions whenever there's a cute girl around, so I need to have another system available so I can quickly and easily respond.
I'm going to create a layout image that will show all the computers on this network, their location, their ip addresses, purposes, and other relevant information. Also how they're wired to the network. And I'll include all the other devices that are interfaced, such as the lamps and the tv-out interface for channel 90. Some people, including people that live here, have questions about it, so a nice diagram would be helpful.
I'm going to take a trip to Longview on Thursday or Friday, so that'll kill a day that I won't likely get much accomplished.
I didn't get anywhere with the critter and music control issues, so I'll plan to work on them this week. I also need to pick a schematic for a PIC programmer and plan to build one.
Yes, I've rambled a bit, so for this week, my plans are to accomplish the following:
Updates will be forthcoming. Take care

I stepped on the scales before lunch today for my weekly Commit to Get Fit weigh in and to date I have lost 14.5 pounds!!! WooHoo!!! How exciting...every time I get on the scales I see improvement!! I think during the week I probably go up and down so I am glad I keep myself from jumping on there every day to check. I would probaby get a little discouraged if I saw the scale go up & I don't want to do that! Mondays at 11:30 every week!
This weekend, though, I did have some fried food - I had ten fried shrimp & one cheese stick. That's the first bad thing I have had in a long time. I don't think it was too bad, though considering what I ate the rest of the day. I had salads & fruit...and though I had ranch dressing, I used the weight watcher's method, which is to dip my fork in the dressing before each bite. By the end I only used about 1 teaspoon (maybe) of the 4 tablespoons of dressing I was given. You don't realize how much you really use until you try this. I had the taste of ranch dressing w/ every single bite I took without my lettuce being drenched & most importantly w/out consuming all the fat & calories!
I have been paying more attention to calories than anything else lately. I haven't cut out fat or carbs...I just try to have good ones. I didn't cut out bread, just white bread. I still get sugars from fruit, but try not to have any sweets w/ refined sugar. I have had potatoes, though I ate 1/2 a baked potato & saved the rest for another meal. The only bad fat I have had was the shrimp & cheese stick on Saturday night...and I am still drinking lots & lots of water! I notice, though, I don't get as much on the weekend. I need to remedy that!
My workouts haven't been nearly as disciplined as my diet. I was doing really well in the beginning sticking to my schedule, but lately the only workouts I have been doing is yardwork or just general running around. I haven't gone to the gym in the last two weeks. :( Tomorrow, though my workout partner & I plan on going during lunch...and then on Wednesday. Normally it's Tuesday & Thursday, but I have made plans for Thursday during lunch so I am going to move that workout to Wednesday instead.
I can really tell a difference now...not only in my appearance & the way my clothes fit, but more importantly how I feel. And hearing someone say, "You look like you're losing weight" definitely helps to lift the spirit even more! I do feel like I have more energy and more and more of my clothes are fitting so much better! I have one outfit that I bought that I haven't worn yet b/c I bought it w/out trying it on & it was too tight. I can get into it now & it isn't too tight, but is still tighter than I would like! So...maybe in another couple of weeks I will be wearing it. That is my short term goal...long term is an old pair of jeans I have been keeping up in my closet waiting for the day when I can get back into them!!!

POP goes the …
No – not breast implant!
Pop goes the floozy!
Pammy's found yet another body part to whore out for cool cash monies — her pipes!
Every year around this time, Ol' Crusty gets her funbags in the news for some fried mess.
Last year it was for skankin' up Miami's Art Basel ('membah?) and this year it's for giving Britney Spears a big ol' bag of good reasons to stay sober.
According to York Post gossip column PageSix, raccooneyes and her close friend, designer Richie Rich are super busy and hard at work layin' down tracks in the studio for their future flop pop single together.
The first track is called 'High' which is, of course, totally about her love of clothes.
::: so that's what they're calling it these days … :::
"We are recording a pop single together," says Richie. "Pam says she wants to sing, but nothing too difficult, so she's just going to sing the word 'high' over and over."
Uh huh … well, unless she's also planning on performing this highhighhighhighhighhighhigh blah blah while climbing the Empire State Building naked on a Saturday afternoon in her trademarked Lucite hooker heels while dropping million dollar bills, new jobs and sunshine along the way, I foresee marketing probs.
Just sayin' … but hey, good luck … or whatever.
I just threw up a little in my mouth
According to the San Francisco Gate, American Idol ditzball alum Kellie Pickler (AKA Pammy Lite) and Waffle House smackdown king Kid Rock have been dating for more than a year.
::: doesn't that, like, automatically qualify her as engagement material?? :::
I really hope this isn't true.
Because I kind of like Kellie.
You have to like someone who can market the shit out of one-range vocals and two plumpified breastesez. It's like a law.
Now if we could just get that bitch to quit the love before someone gets hurt …
A moveable feast
I did it!
<——- It took me long enough, but I figured out what the frickfrackFUCK that thing IS on Beyoncé's boo-tay!
::: curtsey :::
Because, of course!
It's just so obvious — I can't believe I didn't recognize it immediately!
::: Note to self: Boozy times may be adversely affecting cognitive abilities :::
I'm thinking I might have misjudged the Mighty
She may just be the smartest whore in Hollywood!
Not only does she understand the intrinsic value of edible clothing but that bitch wore her wisdom for all the world when she hauled her nasties around in what would have just been a glitterated shit-colored body suit had it not been for that ass-pleasing bacon chaser!
Now we just need to find out what tasty treats she's keeping tucked underneath that lace front wig. All that extra glue's got me thinking one thing: Deep-fried S'mores!
Oh SNAP!
Well kids, the reviews for Beyoncé's first real stab at opening a flick are in and let's just say they were the teensiest smidge less than [Sasha] fierce.
And by 'less than' I mean the word on Obsessed is that it's flat-fucking-out DREADFUL!
::: kind of like that ultra-hein paint job the Mighty B's workin' here —> :::
From the Daily News:
"Unfortunately, the whole movie seems constructed just to get the singer/actress into a knock-down catfight, shoehorning one of show business's sexiest entertainers into a scorned-woman role.
And even then, the pay-off feels cheap.
The result is more like "Delayed Frustration" than "Fatal Attraction." Knowles actually gets second billing after Idris Elba as Derek, a driven husband, father and VP of a Los Angeles financial firm.
Definitely worth skipping!"
Good thing girlfriend can always fall back on her screaching singing career and churning out cheap looks for the House of Derriér …

A special thanks to Lorie Steed, library media coordinator at Central Davidson High School, for this wonderful summary of events held in her school library to celebrate School Library Month.
April is the month of .. a lot of things. Not only is it School Library Month, National Poetry Month, and Autism Awareness Month, it's also the month in which we Drop Everything and Read (April 12), recognize Earth Day (April 22), and advocate for Financial Literacy, among other things. In fact, there's so much going on in April that it's easy to get overwhelmed trying to figure out exactly what--and how--to celebrate. At the same time, April provides great opportunities to connect the school library program with other worthwhile initiatives and to truly transform learning.
Here's what and how we're celebrating at Central Davidson High School this month:
Autism Awareness: We set up a display in the library to highlight fiction and nonfiction titles on autism, and put out bookmarks and crossword puzzles to raise awareness. We also showed a couple of Ted Talks in which young people on the spectrum share their inspiring stories. Finally, we used our school's social media presence to educate the wider community by sharing useful links and our school's efforts, including these great displays created by our cafeteria staff.
Drop Everything and Read Day: During their 30-minute activity period, students were invited to come to the library to read, find something to read, or rediscover their love of reading by listening to children's books read aloud by actors such as Betty White at Storyline Online. Many students who loved reading or being read to when they were younger lose that love as they get older, so it's especially important to give them opportunities to get lost in a story again.
Financial Literacy Month: April is a great time to connect with business teachers and provide students with an opportunity to show off their financial literacy skills. Check out these pics of our Business and Finance students putting their banking skills into practice on the SMART Board. We shared these on social media so everyone can see what great things go on in our classrooms, this month and every month.
Earth Day: Earth Day provides another opportunity to extend the learning already going on in classrooms. Since our Life Skills class recently started a community garden, we wanted to showcase their work in the library. After collaborating with the LIfe Skills teacher, we decided on a display that will include creations by her students--painted flower pots and bird feeders--and provide other students with information about how they can make their own similar creations.
National Poetry Month: I showed my student media assistants how to create poems inspired by artwork on Storybird, and posted these on social media to share how students can write and share their own poems in celebration of National Poetry Month.
Guest Speaker: A graduate and previous student media assistant is coming back to CDHS to talk about his love of graphic novels, why students should read them, and how they turned him into a lifelong reader.
A Time to Reflect: April is a great time to reflect on the library program and make improvements. When no one noticed our Autism display at first, we realized we needed to move our display area to a more prominent location. Since it's nearing the end of the year and it's been a while since I checked in on my SSR (Sustained Silent Reading) students, I visited classes to survey them on favorite genres so I know how to plan book purchases for next year. When I asked students to give feedback on what library programs they've most enjoyed and what future programming they'd like to see, I got a variety of answers, which is a good reminder to offer a mix of programming opportunities in the library--and to let those who want to color, play games, or read do their own thing.
All in all, it's been a busy month, but I've learned a lot, and I hope our students and teachers have too.

The wine-growing region in the southeast France lies between the region Rhone (west), and Lake Geneva on the border with Switzerland and the Italian region Piedmont (east). North of it lies the region law with which Savoy is often regarded as a common wine-growing area. Even the Romans knew the area and Pliny the Elder (23-79) described the resinous character of the wines. From 1736 to 1742, the French philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778), who exuberantly praised the wine of Savoy, lived near Chambéry. From the beginning of the 15th to the mid-19th century, it was a separate kingdom, which included large parts of northern Italy Piedmont and aosta Valley counted before it finally fell to France in 1860.
The vineyards near the Alps cover around 2,100 hectares of vineyards, which are scattered across the departments of Savoie and Haute-Savoie, and partly Ain and Isère. They are all on the banks of the Rhone and extend about 100 kilometers from Lake Geneva in the north to Chambery above Grenoble in the south. There is a continental climate with hot summers and cold winters. Lake Geneva (Lac Léman) and France's largest lake, Lac du Bourget, exert a mitigating influence. The predominant white wines are made Chardonnay. Chasselas. jacquère. Roussanne, Roussette ( Altesse ) and Roussette d'Ayze produced. The reds are mostly made Gamay. Mondeuse Noire and Pinot Noir vinified. Here, unlike many other regions of France, there are many unmixed Wines. The winegrowing areas:

Vale Stock Could Struggle to Recover After Mine Disaster, Dividend Suspension
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
American depositary receipts of Vale (ticker: VALE) were down 16.8% Monday afternoon, to $11.36, after the Brazil-based mining giant announced it is suspending its dividend following a dam breach late last week that killed at least 60 people and left hundreds missing in a region in southern Brazil.
The São Paulo-traded shares (VALE3.Brazil) plunged more than 20% Monday in the company's worst trading session in more than a decade. The decline shaved 14 billion reais ($3.7 billion) from Vale's equity-market value, and weighed on Brazil's Bovespa stock index, which opened 2.3% lower. Analysts at several brokerage firms have downgraded the stock since the accident occurred Friday, citing the likelihood that lingering uncertainty would weigh on the shares.
The back story: Vale's stock was up 12.7% in the year ended Thursday, and had rallied more than 250% in the prior three years, following a similar disaster at the Samarco iron-ore mine in 2015 that killed 19 people. The company was preparing to resume operations at Samarco, but now it is unclear whether the reopening will proceed. Fabio Schvartsman was named CEO of Vale in May 2017 after his predecessor, Murilo Ferreira, left the company due to criticism regarding his early reaction to the Samarco tragedy. On Sunday, Renan Calheiros, former president of the Brazilian Senate, tweeted that Schvartsman should resign.
The plot twist: Macquarie Research downgraded Vale to Neutral, noting that "the direct impact on production is likely to be modest." But "the subsequent tailings-dam inspections and the remediation costs may be more significant," the firm said.
Dams affected by the latest breach were located at the Feijão mine, which produced about 7% of the company's iron ore in 2018, according to Macquarie. So far, the Brazilian court in Minas Gerais—the state where both accidents happened—has frozen R$5 billion in Vale assets to pay for damages from the latest incident. In addition, Brazil's Institute of the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources, or Ibama, has fined Vale the company R$250 million.
Editor's Choice
Macquarie cut its 2019 earnings estimate for Vale by 5% and its 2020 estimate by 4%. "The company can cover the remediation cost with ease," the firm's analysts wrote. "However, Vale's equity re-rating story was in part a reputational one which has now been dealt a body blow."
Vale was also downgraded by Jefferies analyst Christopher Lafemina to Hold from Buy. The analyst lowered his price target on the shares to $14 from $18. HSBC analyst Jonathan Brandt likewise lowered his rating to Hold from Buy, changing his price target to $14.50 from $18. BMO Capital Markets analyst Edward Sterck changed his rating on Vale to Market Perform and cut his price target to $13 from $15.
Moving forward: Although this dam held only a quarter of the volume of tailings, or mine waste, of the dam that ruptured three years ago, the number of casualties was larger due to the structure of the breach and dam's location near a community. It is still impossible to calculate the extent of the environmental damage. As this was the second rupture of a Vale dam, the company likely will face more regulatory scrutiny and tougher penalties. The accident is expected to pose a test for Brazil's newly elected president, Jair Bolsonaro, who has favored deregulation of business and industry. Vale has been conducting studies in other dams around the country that could also be at risk of rupturing.

David Sabatini's lab studies the mechanisms that regulate physiological and pathological growth and metabolism in mammals and also develops new technologies that can be applied to diverse biological problems.
A longtime interest of the lab is the signaling pathway anchored by the mTOR kinase, which David discovered when he was an M.D./Ph.D. student with Dr. Solomon Snyder at Johns Hopkins Medical School. The mTOR signaling network is a central regulator of growth, metabolism, and aging; the target of the well-known drug rapamycin; and is deregulated in common diseases, including cancer and diabetes. Work in David's lab has led to the identification of most of the established components of the pathway, including the mTORC1 and mTORC2 complexes, and to an understanding of their cellular and organismal functions. In recent years the lab has discovered the amino acid sensors and signaling molecules that convey amino acid sufficiency to mTORC1. The discovery of the Rag-Ragulator complex as a lysosome-associated machine that signals amino acid levels to mTORC1 revealed a key role for the lysosome in nutrient-sensing. His identification of rapamycin-resistant functions of mTORC1 and mTORC2 prompted the development of a new class of compounds that inhibit both and are now in clinical trials as anti-cancer agents.
In work in vivo, David's lab uncovered molecular mechanisms through which fasting/feeding regulate organ physiology, including hepatic ketogenesis and intestinal stem cell self-renewal, as well as tumor growth. David is also interested in how small molecule metabolism affects growth control and has studied the role of the serine synthesis pathway in cancer and used genetic screens to find that aspartate synthesis is an essential function of mitochondria in cell proliferation.
Another major interest of David's is technology development. His lab has pioneered methods for purifying unstable protein complexes, cell-based microarrays for high throughput screening of cDNAs, and genome-scale RNAi and CRISPR/Cas9 libraries that are widely used.
David is an Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Member of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, Professor of Biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a Senior Associate Member at The Broad Institute and Member of the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT. His distinctions include being named a W. M. Keck Foundation Distinguished Young Scholar, a Pew Scholar and a TR100 Innovator. In addition, he has received numerous awards including the 2009 Paul Marks Prize for Cancer Research, 2012 The Earl and Thressa Stadtman Scholar Award from ASBMB, 2013 Feodor Lynen Award from Nature, the 2014 NAS Award in Molecular Biology, and the 2014 Colin Thomson Memorial Medal.

Would you consider that youth sports are becoming as well intense?

The particular wall squat exercise is a somewhat easier alternative exercise to the lift. By using the wall some of the body weight is usually supported. The athlete stands using their back against a wall as well as the feet moved forwards. They execute a squat by sliding the back over the wall and ensuring that the legs do not move forward past the toes. The particular squat position can be held regarding added difficulty, or performed on one leg only. A Swiss basketball between the back and the wall may also be used for smooth movement.
Static or even isometric hamstring exercises can be used within the early stages of rehabilitation for a leg injury, or a hamstring strain to assist prevent muscle wasting. The sportsman lies on their front with the leg slightly bent and the therapist grips around the back of the ankle. The particular athlete then tries to bend their own knee against the therapist's resistance. Begin with a gentle contraction and steadily increase force as pain enables. The knee should not move.

Muslims Leaders Convene in Dallas for National Leadership Conference
Attorneys and subject matter experts delivered more than 20 hours of lectures on laws impacting Muslim nonprofit work in America.
DALLAS (October 6, 2017) – This past weekend, more than a hundred Muslim leaders from 15 states participated in the 2017 National Muslim Nonprofit Leadership Conference organized by Muslim Legal Fund of America, a constitutional rights organization, at the Hyatt Regency in DFW International Airport.
The three-day law conference was designed specifically for imams, mosque boards, nonprofit executives and Muslim philanthropists with an interest in being better informed about laws impacted their work and the communities they serve. Last year's conference included tracks for imams and mosque boards. This year's conference added nonprofit and donor tracks with sessions addressing unique challenges they face.
Attorneys from Constitutional Law Center for Muslims in America, a nonprofit law firm funded through a grant from MLFA, presented the bulk of the sessions. Other presenters included Dr. Hind Jarrah of Texas Muslim Women's Foundation and Hind Makki with Institute for Social Policy and Understanding.
"Whether it's the travel ban, bias application of zoning laws or best practices for international giving, our community is invested in understanding how new laws affect the Muslim community," said Khalil Meek, executive director of MLFA. "This law conference provides the information our community leaders need to help them in navigating the complicated and ever-changing legal landscape in America."

When you live in a household of Macs you have to distinguish yours! The apple stickers are perfect. Just as described and quick delivery.
Posted by Josh on 27th May 2017
Awesome product! love the design :)
However would be nice to have some instructions because my unlogical brain peeled every sticker off individually, rather than sticking it on altogether.
Who ate my apple?

This is officially my first fall mantel decor post. For four of the five years that we have lived in our home, there was a black cable box sitting on the mantel, and it was like a thorn in my side. Last year, we switched to another system, and the box disappeared. What a great day that was!!! However, since then I have just enjoyed the whiteness and nothingness of the mantel because I really didn't know what to do with it. You see, the television is still on the wall above the mantel, and I could not obstruct the view. Mr. Right wouldn't go for that. Recently, though, after seeing a photo on a blog, I decided it was time to start decorating around the television.
I saw this arrangement on Emily Henderson's blog, and it served as the inspiration for me to add some things to our mantel. It wasn't the colors or the items that inspired me, but it was the shape of the things she used.
So, I pulled out some items in fall colors and came up with a decorated mantel that works around a television.
I added the blue and white as a neutral. Go figure. It works, though.
I bought this oblong wooden bowl in Africa on our last trip.
I had this cedar box when I was a little girl.
Now, I get it. There's a black television screen looking back at us, but this mantel decor is so much better than before, and I think Mr. Right will be able to see the news and sports without any obstructions. By the way, he made it back to the USA from his six-week bicycle tour in Europe last Thursday, and we are glad he is home.

Today's Wall Street Journal has a page one analysis of the decision facing next week's meeting of the Federal Open market Committee. Will the FOMC consider the inflation dragon that is looming larger and larger? Greg Ip tells us "The Federal Reserve is likely to cut its short-term interest rate by a quarter of a percentage point next week -- but then may be ready for a breather."
So far the run on the dollar and the inflation's reemergence has not engaged the
Fed's attention. The more's the pity. With imports at 17 percent of U.S. GDP, a 10 percent drop in the dollar is equivalent to a $240 billion dollar tax hike. An extra one percent on the CPI takes $138 billion out of Americans' purchasing power, about as much as the stimulus package adds.
Vincent Reinhart, a former Fed Director of Monetary Affairs and now with the Heritage foundation tells us the problems facing our monetary mavens. The tittle of his commentary reveals the larger global issues that confront us: "Behind the Food-Price Riots."

The cost of changing jobs
Thursday, January 30, 2020
What is the cost of changing jobs? Make no mistake, there is always a cost involved that has nothing to do with salary.
Gone are the days when the norm was to work one job at one company until retirement. We have a much more mobile workforce with more opportunities, and people change jobs often to avail themselves of perceived advantages, better pay, and better work-life balance.
But sometimes when you change jobs, the benefits don't materialize as you'd expected, and regrets ensue.
So, the challenge is to accurately evaluate whether the perceived payoffs will become reality and if they're worth the cost of changing jobs.
Early in my career, I accepted a position in management with a great salary. I thought this was an ideal job. Wrong.
I didn't fully assess the cost of this employment. I hadn't studied their mission statement, which would have flashed a neon warning that our values were not aligned and would become a daily, stress-filled battle. The job was a full hour's drive away in gridlock traffic, which consumed two hours of my "leisure" life. To get to work on time, I had to drop my infant daughter at the babysitter's by 5a.m., and it was dark when I picked her up at night; she thought I was the babysitter and the babysitter her mother. Then there was the cost of childcare.
When all these negatives finally converged, I realized this "great" job cost too much in terms of quality of life and the quality of relationship with my child.
So when you consider accepting a new job, think of how it will affect your home life. Take off the rose-colored glasses and think brutally. Does it require too much time away from family? Money is no substitute for rewarding family relationships, so don't assume that your family wants things more than it wants you.
What about your quality of life? Are you going to be spending much of your off hours sitting in a car in traffic? What about the cost of commuting—for example, fuel and time? Even if you're keen on audiobooks, that still limits any time you can spend with friends going to the theatre, to a concert, to a pub, to the bowling alley. Is this job worth the cost of impairing your social network?
Don't diminish the cost of leaving familiar co-workers—even the annoying ones because there are always more annoying co-workers in a future job. One co-worker has the latest jokes; another has the latest grapevine news, and there's the one who always makes you smile with his music trivia. There's also the familiarity of a routine—mundane things like where and when you take your breaks or eat your lunch and with whom.
There's a loss in leaving familiar co-workers and routines behind. This is why "comfort food" is comforting—because it's familiar and filled with memories. When you leave a job, you'll be out of your comfort zone, learning new things, acclimating to new people, establishing new routines. Until the new becomes old, there will be a cost to pay for the loss of familiarity.
And, of course, leaving your comfort zone can make you anxious. How well do you cope with anxiety and the stress of the unknown? Don't underestimate the mental resources needed to cope successfully with your new challenges. And again, the stress you face will likely impact your family as well.
If a higher salary is the reason for your change, then how much more will you reasonably earn? Not just the salary on paper, but the real cost? That supposedly great job early in my career? After I'd calculated the costs of fuel, time, babysitter, special clothes, I figured I was sacrificing all that was important to me for only a few hundred dollars per month! Not worth it.
How many more hours per week will you be working to earn this higher salary? On a per hour basis, is it as much as you'd expected?
I remember one co-worker changing jobs because he'd been offered two dollars more per hour, which sounded like a hefty pay increase to him. What he did not factor in was his total pay and benefits he was exchanging. He didn't consider that he was contracting to work fewer hours per month, and in the process, lost his medical benefits.
The upshot was that his two dollar an hour pay increase actually caused him to lose pay to the tune of $500 per month! Not a smart financial move. So if pay is a major consideration in your next career move, make sure you compute actual take-home pay, not a theoretical pay raise.
It's not that you should never take another job. The upshot is that you need to fully consider all the costs of changing employment and analytically decide whether the cost is worth the rewards.

EACS 2020 Commencement Information
July 10th - 7:00 PM (Leo High School)
Commencement Services will be streamed on You Tube
Principal's Desk
Dear Parents:
Your son/daughter will soon be graduating with the class of 2020. The Faculty
and Staff at Leo Jr./Sr. High School wish to express our gratitude for working
with us and your child in achieving this milestone in his/her life. We wish your
son/daughter every success in the future.
In order to keep you informed regarding graduation and other upcoming events,
we would like to share with you the following information:
1. In order to graduate with a diploma from East Allen County Schools and Leo
Jr./Sr. High School, a senior must have met all Indiana high school diploma
requirements. This means that along with passing all state and local class
requirements, students must also pass ISTEP+ (both math and
English/Language arts) or earn the alternative Pathway Diploma. All parents
and students should be aware of their individual graduation status. Seniors
who have not fulfilled minimum state graduation requirements by May 22,
2020, will not participate in the graduation ceremony on May 29, 2020.
2. Graduation will be at 7:00 P.M. on Friday, May 29, 2020. Exercises will be
held at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum. Students should be at the
War Memorial Coliseum no later than 6:15 P.M. to line up for the procession.
General admission seating begins at 6:00 P.M. While there is no charge for
admission to the graduation, the War Memorial Coliseum does charge each
car for parking. Please plan accordingly.
3. In the interest of time and in order to preserve the dignity of the graduation
ceremony, we ask that recognition of all graduates be held until all seniors
have received their diplomas.
Traditionally, the graduation ceremony is a dignified ceremony and anything
that interferes with the ceremony is disturbing to all. We ask that there be no
yelling, whistling, or other activity that would draw undue attention to a
particular graduate. We also ask that you encourage your son/daughter to
conduct himself/herself in a manner that will not detract from the dignity of
the ceremony. The time for recognition is at the end of the reading of all
graduates' names. I know all of you are proud of your graduate, but
individual recognition is out of order and you are asked to refrain from it.
Parents, we really need your cooperation in this matter. Please do your part
to make sure we have an orderly graduation.
4. All financial obligations to the school are to be remedied by Friday May 22,
2020, at 3:15 P.M. Books and iPads are to be turned in and all fees paid.
5. Exam Schedule-Seniors Only
A. Tuesday, May 19th Class Periods 1,4, and 7

7. A group picture of academic honor diploma recipients, valedictorian, and
salutatorian will occur at graduation practice. Recipients will need their caps,
gowns, dress shoes, and National Honor Society stoles. Without the
preceding items, you will not be part of the photo. The group picture will
hang in the south entrance of our school, above the display cases.
8. Male graduates are to wear dress shirts with ties as well as dress pants and
dress shoes with their graduation gowns. Ladies are to wear dresses or
dress pants and dress shoes with their gowns.
9. Parking is available in the War Memorial Coliseum parking lot at a charge of
$5.00 per car.
10. General Admission seating is available as well as handicapped
accommodations. There are 5000 seats available for the families of 200
plus graduates. The War Memorial Coliseum is air conditioned for your
11. During graduation practice, students will be instructed in the procedures for
gathering with relatives and exiting the Exhibition Hall after the graduation
We anticipate a large crowd for graduation and we will do everything possible to limit the ceremony to a reasonable length of time, hopefully one hour or less.
We hope the above information will prove to be helpful to you. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the school. Once again, congratulations to the Leo High School Class of 2020 Graduates!
Dr. Neal Brown III

Is Your Business Protected Against Cyber Risks?
3rd June 2019 5 min read
At Miles Smith, it is our intention to provide our customers with key facts, knowledge and expertise about their whole insurance programme. This includes cyber cover, for which we are seeing an increased demand across the market.
This month we are going to remind you what cyber insurance is, how it protects your business and what you are protected against under both cyber cover and crime cover.
Cyber or Crime?
Firstly, it is important to determine the difference between cyber cover and crime cover.
Cyber cover includes the theft or corruption of valuable data, interruption to key systems and your customers, suppliers, or any third party suing for destruction, misuse or misappropriation of their data.
Crime cover includes the direct financial loss suffered as a result of employee dishonesty, theft and collusion or external crime including theft of funds and social engineering fraud.
For further details on Cyber v Crime, you can see our recent article here.
What can happen in a cyber-attack?
If you are the victim of a cyber-attack, your response will inevitably vary depending on whether or not you have a cyber insurance policy which includes a planned incident response. Examples of each are as follows:
A business that has a cyber policy
- When a cyber-attack has been identified, the business will contact its insurer which will instigate a coordinated incident response to the breach.
- The business will receive specialist support including forensic IT investigations, legal advice and customers and/or regulators will be notified.
- The business would be covered for any costs incurred, and it will also receive support to mitigate reputational damage.
A business that does not have a cyber policy
- When a cyber-attack has been identified, the business may contact either the police or its IT provider, both of whom would likely be unprepared and lacking in resource and expertise to deal with the breach.
- Unfortunately, the business would have to face the losses it incurs as a result of the breach, and it would have to pay for, or deal internally with any reputational damage.
Consequences of a cyber-attack
The National Cyber Security Centre calculated that the average cost of a security breach is £600k to £1.15m across all UK businesses, a scary figure. As a result of a cyber-attack you could:
• Lose valuable customer data
• Suffer damage to your business reputation
• Encounter regulatory issues
• Suffer interruption to your business activities
We cannot predict the exact cost of a business's premium for a cyber policy without more information on the company. However, as an example, a construction company with a £10m turnover is likely to pay around £3k for cyber cover. If this company suffered a cyber-attack, its cyber policy would assist them and reduce the impact on the business. The average claim cost for this type of company is around £60k – £80k but could easily be higher, so the policy would save them a significant sum of money.
Compare this to a similar company which did not have a cyber policy, it would be at risk of having to cover the costs itself without the assistance of insurance and it could be out of business for days, weeks or even months trying to deal with the attack.
Get in touch with us
We have a team of experts at Miles Smith who can discuss your cyber requirements and arrange cover to protect you from this rapidly emerging risk.For more information, or to book an appointment, give us a call on 020 7977 4800 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com

Just a three-year-old school, Clarion has been recognized as one of the top three American schools in the UAE where progressive education is child-centered, collaborative – and where learning is project based and gets children to focus on their own learning needs. Learning is purposeful, social, emotional and empowering.
At Clarion, words and actions are aligned. They have master teachers who are trained in progressive pedagogy and understanding of what is developmentally appropriate for children. There is a focus on children learning to think and taking responsibility for their learning.
Traditional education learners are passive – progressive education at Clarion learners co-create knowledge, problem solve and plan. In traditional education, teachers are the source of information; at Clarion, teachers guide learning and coach students by teaching them to ask the right questions. In a traditional model, parents are uninvolved; at Clarion, parents are resources and active participants in their child's education. In traditional education, learning is linear with factual and skill mastery; at Clarion, learning is spiral with depth and breadth of goals. In a traditional model, knowledge is based on right answers; at Clarion, knowledge is constructed through play, direct experiences, social interactions and research.
There is a true relationship and on-going dialogue between child and teacher, a learning partnership.
The Clarion Way
Clarion ignites curiosity with commitment, collaboration, creativity, critical thinking skills and communication. At Clarion, they teach students to analyze information and ideas and form reasonable judgements, articulate thoughts and feelings clearly in a wide range of media – oral, written and digital; collaborate and work constructively with others.
Differences Between Traditional Education and The Clarion Way
|Children are passive absorbers of information and authority.
|Children are active participants, problem solvers and planners. They have ownership of their learning.
|Teachers are sources
of information and authority.
|Teachers are facilitators, guides who foster thinking.
|Parents are outsiders and uninvolved.
|Parents are an extension of the classroom and serve as resources.
|Subjects are taught separately.
|Subjects are integrated as children make connections to real world applications.
|Skills are taught separately and are
viewed as goals.
|Skills are related to content and are viewed as tools.
|Learning is driven by a motivation of
rewards or recognition.
|Learning is driven by an intrinsic motivation of a joy for learning.
|Failure is penalized.
|Failure is seen as an important part of the learning process. Intellectual risk taking is encouraged.
|Products are the end point.
|Process is valued in the creation of product.
|Teacher daily planning is carefully
followed to meet pre-determined
teacher objectives.
|Teacher planning is intentional and includes emergent learning to support children's unplanned explorations and extensions of their interest and learning.
|Learning happens within the
|Lifelong Learning happens within the child
Families who join Clarion are often forward-looking, aware of the world they live in and the changing future. They realize that there is a better way to learn than what they had when they were children. They recognize that a progressive education will better prepare their children for adulthood and the challenges they will find in society.
