PAX provides positive behavioral supports in the classroom. The better the supports are, the fewer the referrals and problematic behaviors that will need to be dealt with by other programs like Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), or by school-based, disciplinary or special ed intervention teams.
The Common Core seeks to improve students' higher-order thinking skills. PAX provides the foundation for those skills, helping children to develop voluntary control over attention, an ability to minimize distractions, and a tolerance for delayed gratification. With PAX GBG, children learn to work well with others; the Common Core outcomes are predicated upon students' ability to succeed at a group level as well as individually.

The Power of a Meaningful Connection with Yourself and Loved Ones
Tis the season to be loving. Whether you have a special someone or not, you can't help but be aware that love is in the air this time of year. If you are out of ideas or just want to try something new this Valentines Day, maybe try a less is more approach. After all, love is about an unconditional and undeniable connection with yourself and between you and your partner-not how deep your pockets are. So many times people get stressed or dig into their pockets to find the best way to simply say I love you instead of finding a simple, creative and meaningful way to express their hearts. The best gifts can be ones that cost less than 10 bucks in supplies, a genuine gesture of love and some quality time putting it together. Even if you are stag this Valentines Day, there is plenty of love in you worth celebrating.
Here are 5 unique personalized ways to connect with yourself that special someone or someone you just feel like sending some love to.
- Take the day off from work to be in love: If your alone this Valentines day there is no better way to show some love than to set aside a whole day and dedicate it to only doing things that makes your heart go pitter patter. Or if your spending it with that special someone take the day off to indulge in that simple something that you two always love to do together, but never find the time to do.
- Use yoga to connect with the heart: One of the many cool perks of a yoga practice is that it helps you better connect with yourself and your personal relationships. So whether your going to show yourself or your significant other some love, see if you can find a yoga studio near you like Strala Yoga in NYC that is having a partner yoga workshop.
- Music is what feeling sounds like: So put together a personalized album just for him/her. Whether you have your eye on someone or have been with that special person for the last 20 years, you can never go wrong with a playlist. If your going for the first step in making your feeling clear to someone, put together an album of all of the songs that when you hear them, make you feel all corny and smiley inside while you think about him or her. Then take the time to write at least 5 sentences about why that song makes you think of them. If that doesn't catch someones attention… well, it will :). If you've been fortunate to have a loving relationship that has stood the test of times, why not make a soundtrack of the years past and years to come and totally deck out the album with original art.
- Send some virtual love: This, like all of the above is perfect if you are single or in a relationship. (Actually, it may be a suave move if your single ;)). Virtual ecards, they are free and can be very thoughtful if written with the write words. Make a list of people that mean something to you (especially those who you know aren't up to much for the day), and send them a simple to the point card that says, "Hey I'm thinking about you today. Have a great day lovey"… in your own words.
- Have a home spa day: For crying out loud forget about paying beaucoup money to have someone else wine and dine your sweetheart buy giving them a massage, pedicure and manicure. Instead, take care of each other for the day and let your humble abode be transformed into a luxurious day and night spa for 2.
That should be enough to spark some more simple unforgettable ways to spend this Valentines Day.
p.s. Even more wawa wewa romantic than any of the above, is learning how to make sweet and unexpected thoughtfulness a part of your everyday relationship. Don't wait for Valentines Day to sweep yourself or your significant other off their feet by a thoughtfully random "I love you babe" gesture. Instead make it a "just because habit" because… every day is the 14th!

Christine Andrews is a clinical professor at the Lynn Pippenger School of Accountancy. She teaches managerial and cost accounting and finance. She has more than 25 years of experience teaching accounting and business courses. The purpose of the article is to demonstrate how social media communication has helped in recruitment of graduates in organizations. The study interviewed employers and fresh graduates on their use of social media. The interviews were conducted after participants were selected randomly ensuring that they were all willing to take part in the study. The interviews were conducted face-to-face or online depending on the availability of the participants. The results of the study indicated a rampant use of social media in the 21st century. The reason that most of the participants highlighted was that they visit social media websites on a daily basis and expect to benefit from them. The article will be used for demonstration of this aspect in the study.

Jose M. Barrutia and Carmen Echebarria are both academic experts in the faculty of Economics and Business Administration in the University of Bsque, Bizkaia, Spain, and the University of Oxford, Oxford, UK, respectively. The study presented questionnaires to freshly employed graduates in various organizations in the US. The participants were selected randomly while ensuring that almost every big organization in the country is represented. The results indicated that more than 50 percent of the freshly employed graduates either directly or indirectly used the social media to get the opportunity. The purpose of the study was to extend social marketing literature through consideration of the networking effect of the social media marketing tools. The social media as a marketing tool is compared to the traditional social marketing tools.

Their views were collected by use of questionnaires on the use of social media in recruiting. The participants were also asked if they follow up with the social media profile of candidates before making the final decision of absorbing them in the organization. The findings of the study indicated that social media has emerged as an indispensable tool in human resources functions. The article is relevant

I don't know if this has been posted about before, but for the freelancers out there, www.creativepublic.com is a decent site that has a lot of pre-made forms/contacts and pricing guidelines. For me just recently restarting my freelancing, its been valuable. If nothing else, it gives me a base to work from.
It also offers some discounts to their members on printing, training videos, and audio interviews with others in the industry.
I found it helpful, maybe some else will too!


text: The importance of heat pump maintenance Posted January 24, 2017 Having to pay for unnecessary repairs isn't high on anyone's to-do list, that's why thinking ahead with heat pump maintenance is so crucial. The greatest time to end a problem is before it arises. While we draw near the winter months in St. Cloud, you don't want to be abandoned in the cold due to a heat pump breakdown. Your heat pump will be running hard this time of year to keep you comfy. Routine heat pump maintenance from the team at Osceola Air, LLC will mend any current problems and analyze and address any problems that could otherwise lead to heat pump repair. Annual heat pump maintenance is as crucial as getting the oil changed in your car. You wouldn't go years on end without getting an oil change – the same applies to heat pump maintenance. As with any mechanical system, there are a number of things that should be tested so they don't go wrong, and the professionals at Osceola Air, LLC in St. Cloud will examine all those moving fragments to guarantee they aren't moving toward a breakdown. Our experts will inspect every moving piece of your system, even your wiring, to guarantee that everything is running as it should. There is also a simple thing that you can do as a homeowner to keep your heat pump operating properly throughout the year: check your air filter. Frequently inspecting and keeping up with swapping your air filter is a vital task to keep your system working correctly, avoiding unexpected heat pump repair. A dirty air filter confines airflow and creates extra strain on your heat pump to keep up with your thermostat. This will not only lower your heat pump's efficiency, it can also lessen the life of your system by creating additional wear and tear. Another thing to [[keep in mind|remember]bear in mind]67] is your indoor air quality. All of the air in your home passes through your air filter. If your filter is filthy, so is your air. The prolonged a problem goes ignored, the more destruction it can do. We want to help you stay on top of things and keep you from any unforeseen malfunctions, which come with unanticipated bills. If you haven't yet arranged for heat pump maintenance, give the professionals at Osceola Air, LLC in St. Cloud a call at 407-477-6319. Back To Blog

Department of Justice
For Immediate Release
Tulare County Man Pleads Guilty to Drug Trafficking Charge and Illegal Possession of a Machine Gun
FRESNO, Calif. —Francisco Fernandez, 26, of Earlimart, pleaded guilty Monday to possessing with the intent to distribute cocaine and possession of an unregistered firearm, U.S. Attorney McGregor W. Scott announced.
According to court documents, a search warrant was executed at Fernandez's residence in April 2019. During the search, federal agents found and seized scales, drug paraphernalia and cocaine. Fernandez admitted to possessing the cocaine for sale to others. Apart from the narcotics, federal agents also found "auto-sear" devices that are used to convert semi-automatic firearms to fire as fully automatic machineguns. In a subsequent search of Fernandez's storage unit, agents located and seized several firearms, which included a Glock handgun that Fernandez had converted into a machinegun.
This case was the product of an investigation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Newman is prosecuting the case.
Fernandez is scheduled to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Dale A. Drozd on Dec. 16. Fernandez faces a maximum statutory penalty of 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $1 million for the distribution of cocaine charge and a maximum statutory penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for the possession of an unregistered firearm charge. The actual sentence, however, will be determined at the discretion of the court after consideration of any applicable statutory factors and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, which take into account a number of variables.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), the centerpiece of the Department of Justice's violent crime reduction efforts. PSN is an evidence-based program proven to be effective at reducing violent crime. Through PSN, a broad spectrum of stakeholders work together to identify the most pressing violent crime problems in the community and develop comprehensive solutions to address them. As part of this strategy, PSN focuses enforcement efforts on the most violent offenders and partners with locally based prevention and reentry programs for lasting reductions in crime.

St. Louis PD Selects Citrix Enterprise Instead of Citrix Platinum
"We selected Citrix Enterprise & Goliath instead of Citrix Platinum because Goliath gives us far superior Citrix monitoring and management capabilities than the utilities included with Platinum. Goliath and Citrix Enterprise together were much more affordable than Citrix Platinum, and after we evaluated the Citrix performance monitoring of Goliath, the decision was a no-brainer"
– Tom Westbrook, Manager IT Operations & Networking, SLMPD
The Business Challenge:
The Saint Louis Police Department was deciding whether to purchase Citrix Platinum or Enterprise. Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop are used to support remote police officers by delivering applications and desktops. Due to the nature of the environment, having an effective and comprehensive Citrix XenApp monitoring solution for their delivery infrastructure is critical. The need for Citrix XenApp monitoring was the major consideration when trying to decide between purchasing XenDesktop Enterprise or XenDesktop Platinum. They were told that Platinum edition included additional capabilities for Citrix XenApp monitoring with Director & Insight, "all the enterprise monitoring you will need is free if you purchase Citrix Platinum".
Citrix Platinum Tools are Not Useful for Citrix Monitoring & Troubleshooting
The biggest challenge in the decision-making process was the cost vs. the benefit of purchasing Citrix XenApp/XenDesktop Platinum. The features and functionality of Enterprise edition satisfied all the technical requirements necessary to delivering applications and desktops to end users, except for providing the Citrix monitoring capabilities needed to ensure a high-quality user experience. While the platinum edition claims to provide comprehensive Citrix monitoring capabilities with the free utilities included in the Citrix Platinum License, the evaluation proved that the functionality of Director & Insight did not meet the minimum requirements for Citrix monitoring. The Citrix monitoring tools may indicate that something is wrong, but the depth of visibility did not exist to tell them "what was wrong" or root cause. So, why purchase platinum and then have to also buy additional Citrix monitoring for the supporting infrastructure and end user experience? What was truly needed was a monitoring solution that worked with Citrix Enterprise Edition. See the selection criteria they developed here:

The Latin America and the Global research group presents:
Ana Vivaldi, "Argentina's Military Service and the (Re)Making of Indigenous Masculinities"
Thursday, April 28, 2016, 3-4:30pm
Liu Institute, Research Unit (1st fl
From 1901, Argentina had a mandatory Military Service that each year compels a randomly-selected portion of the cohort of 18 year-old men to serve in any of the three forces for 12-24 months. The mandatory nature lasted until 1993 and was abolished in 1994, after the death of a conscript resulting from officers abuses (at present, service is voluntary). The obligation established for civilian men to serve in the military was a particularly tense and even traumatic experience during military dictatorships, especially the last one between 1976-1983, when conscripts had to be part or refuse to be part of "dirty war" activities. On another line, Indigenous people from the Chaco, among them the Toba, were the last to be incorporated to Argentina's state through a violent occupation of their lands that was completed in the early 20th Century. They were thereafter part of the pool of men selected to do the military. While my initial assumptions were that the experience had been a very negative experience for Toba men, I was surprised to discover that Toba men who had served in the military had fond memories of this time. In this presentation I explore the experience of Toba men who have done military service and point to some of the reasons why it was such a positive experience.
Ana recently received her PhD in Anthropology from UBC, after successfully defending her dissertation Traversing the City: The Making of Indigenous Spatialities within and Beyond Buenos Aires.

The testimony of the art of the Catacombs to the triumphant joy of heart of the early Christians is very striking. They faced death with no alarm, but with joy and serenity. Luke threw a flood light on the attitude of their hearts. "Drunken, but not with wine" (Acts 2:15), intoxicated, so to speak, with the rushing influences of Pentecost. When he wrote "they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart" (Acts 2:46), the words indicate their abounding joy and gladness.
C. S. Lewis stated, "Joy is the serious business of heaven." In Revelation 7:9, John wrote that he saw the redeemed "clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands." "Palm branches" were regarded as tokens of joy and triumph. They were waived before Christ on His entry into Jerusalem (John 12:13). Kings and conquerors were welcomed by having palm branches strewn before them, and waved in the air, with shouts and acclamations of joy. In Heaven, John sees the triumphant followers of the Messiah with "palm branches in their hands."
Sherwood Wirt wrote a book with just one subject – joy. He states, "It seems that this book, known to us as the Sacred Scriptures, lists 542 references to joy, which would include gladness, delight, pleasure, laughter, merry, happy, exuberance, jubilation, merriment, rapture, bliss, elation. In other words, I made an incredible discovery. I discovered that the Bible is a book of joy."
In Psalm 31:7, David exclaimed, "I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy." The Hebrew word "glad" means "to move in a circle, to dance and leap for joy, shouting and rejoicing." When Haydn, the great composer, was asked on one occasion why his sacredcompositions had such a glad ring, he answered: "I cannot compose anything without it; for I translate into music the state of my very heart. When I think of the grace of God in Jesus Christ, my heart is so full of joy that the notes fairly dance and leap from my pen."
"Sour godliness is the devil's religion" (John Wesley).

Aria e-Road aero carbon bike, engineered with Bianchi's Inner Power Drive system, is the perfect solution to the demands of genuine road riders all over the World: to have the look and feel of traditional, pure high-performance, race-bred road riding, with powerful electrical assistance in the background – only when needed.
IPD – Inner Power Drive System:
This next step in the progression of the e-bike market has been made possible through Bianchi's specifically developed Inner Power Drive System. This has been created with the Aria at the forefront from the very beginning, and it's a match made in heaven.
The system uses Ebikemotion's powerful X35 V.2 pedal assist technology, and at 3.5kg for the entire system (rear hub motor, 250W battery, iWOC One and all wiring) this is the smallest and lightest full-power pedal assist motor that has ever been created. It is simply the ultimate in e-bike motors on the market.
It is the perfect solution for riders with a desire to take on long, demanding rides selecting the extra power and speed of a trained professional only when it is needed. This extra power significantly adds to, but never overshadows the human powered endeavour and sensation of road riding. It simply gives the feeling that you have more power in your legs.
This bike boasts a fully integrated and minimalist electric motor and battery. It not only provides a sleek, stylish and low profile aero look but can also be ridden without electrical power assistance with zero interference. The motor creates no drag to the power transition, making the Aria e-Road the true road cyclist's choice.
This is the first bike we've ever seen where the balance between a lightweight, high performance aero road bike and an e-bike has truly been established. With the Aria e-Road you can genuinely have the best of both worlds.
The X35V.2 M1 36V/250W rear hub motor is extremely powerful, producing 40Nm of torque at the rear wheel, offering optimum powered assistance at speeds between 15 and 25km/h. Nestled between the rear cassette sprockets and the rear disc brake rotor, the motor is virtually hidden.
The X35 V.2 M1 motor is powered by a slim, 40mm wide 250W battery, positioned inside the downtube of the Aria e-Road frame.
A weatherproof charge-port is located discreetly in the upper surface of the down tube, near the junction with the seat tube, for a simple plug and charge operation via any household mains electricity supply.
Bianchi have fully integrated the iWOC One flush-fit power and battery level controls into the Aria e-Road's aero top tube making it discreet and unobtrusive.
The Ebikemotion mobile app allows the rider to easily integrate multiple data functions into the ride experience. Covering key motor function, battery status, power control, as well as GPS ride direction and tracking. A specific fitness function, linked to rider performance via heart rate bend, allows to control automatically the assist level of the motor unit by selecting a maximum HR frequency, to keep you in the exercise zone that you prefer.
All electronic wiring is internal, sealed away from the elements and danger, completing the Aria e-Road's aero aesthetic.
- 3.5kg total weight of X35 V.2 motor, 250W battery, iWOC One and all wiring
- Slim 36V/250W V.2 rear hub motor produces 40Nm of torque
- Panasonic battery is 40mm wide. Completely integrated and hidden inside the downtube.
- Optimum power pedal assistance between 15 and 25km/h
- 3 levels of assistance: ECO (GREEN) 30%, COMFORT (ORANGE) 60%, POWER (RED) 100%
- Autonomy up to 1200 meter of elevation gain. Autonomy could be increased with 250W Xtra Power external battery
- 'Flat to full' mains-charge in 3.5-4hrs
- Zero motor drag to drivetrain
As UK's number one Bianchi store we love to see the continued development and progression of this brand. Creating market leading bikes since 1885, the stunning Aria e-Road looks to be another string to their bow.

DMC Tapestry Wool is a soft smooth non-divisible yarn made of 100% virgin wool. The DMC Tapestry Wool is especially designed for decorative needlepoint on pillows, chair seats, wall hangings, pictures and also for fashion articles like bags due to its twist and thickness which provides excellent canvas coverage with a smooth, even texture.
DMC Tapestry Wool is normally worked on larger mesh canvas sizes 10 up to 14. It is best to work with lengths of yarn no longer than 18-20 inches to prevent fraying and wearing down of the yarn while stitching. DMC Tapestry Wool is both mothproof and colorfast.

Will County Treasurer Steve Weber, CPA, announced that his office has selected GovTech Services of Olive, Iowa to process online property tax payments through 2021. Under the agreement, GovTech will process credit and debit card payments using secure internet, pay-by-phone, and in-person transactions.
Weber said:
Our new payment solution has all of the services people have asked for, and they will pay lower fees to use it. Property owners can make installment payments, schedule payments in the future, and use a shopping cart to pay taxes if they own more than one parcel. We've opened up the ability for Mobile Home owners to pay online for the first time. And we will deploy tap-and-pay technology found in smartphones.
The main reason for these changes is to save people money. Not everyone can pay property taxes the way Illinois law demands. People need options, and we're doing our part to help.
Escrow Property Taxes without a Bank
For the very first time, Will County property owners will have the ability to pay their property taxes as a monthly installment. Recurring payments—like an escrow—allows property owners to take control of how much they pay and how often. Beginning in May 2019, property owners can schedule periodic payments in an amount they choose, even if the amount does not completely pay their tax bill. Property owners will be responsible for any outstanding tax, if they do not schedule the total payment.
Schedule Payments and Forget It
Will County property taxes are due in two installments. The new system allows property owners to schedule those payments to take place automatically. For example, an owner can schedule the first installment in May from a checking account and the second installment in August from a credit card. Another example might be to pay the entire tax bill at one time. The system is flexible.
Shopping Cart to Pay Multiple Properties with One Transaction
In the past, people who own multiple properties, such as a home and a rental, must make multiple payments online. This is inconvenient, and even difficult if there are many rental properties. Beginning in May 2019, property owners can build a shopping cart of the parcels they own, save that data into a user profile, and associate a payment method. When the time comes to make the payment, the owner checks out of the shopping cart like many online stores.
Mobile Home Tax Payments Accepted Online
A major request of Mobile Home owners in Will County has been to pay their taxes online. Beginning in February 2019, Mobile Home owners can pay their taxes online using credit or debit cards, or from a checking account. The same shopping cart and schedule payment features available to homeowners are available to Mobile Home owners as well.
Apple Pay and Android Pay
As the general public moves towards mobile payment technologies, Will County property owners expect similar convenience. Beginning in May 2019, property tax payments make in the Will County Treasurer's Office will include Near Field Technology. This means that users of Apple Pay and Android Pay (as examples) can tap and pay their taxes in the same way they might at a department store or restaurant.
Reduced Convenience Fees
Will County Treasurer Steve Weber believes that the public deserves the best service at the best price. Since becoming Treasurer in 2010, Weber has reduced and eliminated fees paid by the public.
Under the new agreement with GovTech, added functionality will come at a reduced cost compared to previous years. Credit card fees will fall to 2.28% from 2.5% in 2010. The $1.50 per transaction feel for E-Check and ACH payments has been eliminated.
About the Will County Treasurer's Office
The Will County Treasurer's Office is the county's bank, managing over $2.2-billion in public funds. They receive tax revenue and other funds, and distribute that money according to the law. The office also manages long-term debt, pays bills, and invests cash.

Many still cannot believe it and doubt that the late Françoise Foning (1949-2015) was once a beauty queen. But it is true. Françoise Foning was indeed 1st runner-up in the 1960 Miss Independence pageant (the concept was rebranded as Miss Cameroon). Julienne Honorine Ayissi, mother of the famous stylist Imane Ayissi, ultimately won the crown. Obviously, Françoise Foning did not prove unworthy of her rank in the pageant, based on the photo showing her foregone beauty and figure.
"Foning was indeed the 1st runner-up of Miss Cameroon. I doubted it to the point I asked her on a television set. And she confirmed it", said a journalist who presented a debate program on a local channel.
Miss Foning à droite.
According to converging sources in her family and those who knew her when she was slender, Françoise Tsopgny Nguiazong née Foning (from the name of her late husband), was very beautiful and was making heads turn! But that was before the additional weight overtook her formerly svelte figure.
As a reminder, this former member of parliament and influential member of the ruling party (RDPC) passed away on 23 January 2015, aged 68. She died 6 days after a road accident on the Yaoundé-Bafoussam road.

Unfortunately, no industry or business is immune from data security events. Nearly every business collects some form of personal information, whether it involves your employees, customers, vendors, or all of the above. Threats to your company's data may come from both external and internal sources. In light of the rapidly changing state, federal, and international laws, including imposition of monetary penalties, in the area of data breaches and cybersecurity, it is vitally important that your business take a proactive, rather than a reactive, approach to addressing these issues.
The cost of a data breach can be catastrophic to your business. For most organizations, it is not a matter of if you will be the victim of a data breach, but when. When that time comes, it is critical to have a comprehensive plan in place in order to respond quickly and, consequently, mitigate your company's risk and comply with the appropriate laws. Outside legal counsel can assist your company in proactively developing a comprehensive documented and training plan. You will need an incident response plan that outlines who to contact and what to do in the event of a data breach. To help prevent attacks from the inside, it is important that you develop appropriate employee policies for use of IT, social media, computers, cell phones, USBs, and personal devices so that your company's private information can remain secure. It is also advisable to utilize experts to conduct training for employees on cybersecurity issues, such as phishing and malware risks.
There are significant benefits to you, your company and your key employees when you use an experienced attorney in the unfortunate event of a data breach. When utilized to spearhead investigations, counsel can insulate corporate employees and maintain confidentiality. The attorney-client privilege protects communications between counsel and key corporate employees regarding the incident. Moreover, the work-product doctrine protects investigations directed by counsel in anticipation of litigation. For example, when Target was the victim of a data breach, a court found that documents generated in a forensic investigation ordered by outside counsel were protected, while similar documents obtained from the same forensic firm but ordered directly by the client were not protected.
If your company has purchased cyber insurance, it is important to notify your carrier immediately. Most carriers have attorneys, investigators, and cybersecurity forensic specialists on call to immediately respond to your needs. Depending on the scope of coverage purchased, most, if not all, of your losses may be covered.
Unfortunately, there is no uniform federal law related to data breaches. Each state and the District of Columbia has enacted its own laws, some stricter than others. Determining which state's law applies to your situation is sometimes tricky. You will need to know the legal requirements regarding types of notifications necessary and how much time you have to communicate them. Similarly, if your company operates internationally, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), enacted in the European Union in May 2018, requires strict compliance and includes significant monetary penalties.
I am often asked what types of legal pitfalls and mistakes I have seen with regard to data breaches that can guide a business owner in establishing best practices. The most prolific, egregious mistake companies make is thinking, "this won't happen to me" and then failing to proactively plan for attack. Another common pitfall is when business owners ignore red flags and fail to educate employees on the known warning signs of potential breaches such as phishing or unknown attachments. Another common mistake is spending too much time looking for the source of the breach or worrying about the cost of containment rather than taking quick and decisive steps to contain the breach. Working with an experienced team in advance of a cyberattack will help mitigate loss to you, your company, your employees, and your clients. When it comes to cybersecurity, a proactive approach is a must if you want to avoid potential devastation for your business.

Within a month, however, the awards would mean little when stacked against true heroism.
On Dec. 29, Knapp took advantage of a rare day off to visit the beach with a group of good friends. The water was extremely rough, so the gang wisely admired the powerful sea from the safety of sand. They watched violent waves rise with angry tempers, reaching 15 feet before crashing down and quickly regrouping for another round.

A new round of talks between the various Yemeni parties was held on Saturday in Kuwait as the Riyadh-led delegation rejected the halt of Saudi air raids on Yemen.
The Saudi-led delegation also denied the reports on the deployment of the US Marines troops in Yemen despite the Pentagon's related acknowledgements.
Media reports mentioned that the members Saudi-led delegation appeared to be confused during the dialogue session for their inability to respond to the national parties' questions about whether the US administration obtained their approval before deploying troops in Yemen.

Synergy Multi-Academy Trust is made up of schools, both secondary and primary, from north Norfolk. The Trust was initially established by Reepham High School and College in 2015. Our vision is simple; for all of our schools to work together to provide teaching and learning of the highest quality and for all of them to provide an exceptional range of educational experiences and opportunities.
Physical Education
Physical Education is an essential part of life and here at Reepham High School and College we try our very best to promote lifelong participation in healthy and active lifestyles.
We have a strong team of enthusiastic and talented teachers who try to support students to get their best possible grades.
- Mr J Easton (Second in Department)
- Mrs J Masdin (Teacher of PE)
- Mr K Peebles (Teacher of PE)
- Mr A Edgar (Teacher of PE)
- Miss P Thompson (Teacher of PE)
Key Stage Three (Years 7, 8 and 9)
When pupils arrive in Year 7 they are given a baseline assessment to allow us to set them according to their practical ability. Setting occurs in all year groups and new students who join us late are tested on arrival.
- There are two sets in each year group, allowing for a higher and lower ability group amongst the different genders (where possible).
- Pupils have one lesson a week in gender groups and one lesson a week within their tutor groups.
Key Stage Four (Years 10 and 11)
- There are 2 core PE lessons a week for every pupil offering them a chance to participate in a curriculum promoting healthy and active lifestyles.
- There are generally 3 GCSE groups in each year who follow the Edexcel course for GCSE Physical Education.
- In Year 10 GCSE, pupils have one practical lesson and three theory lessons a fortnight, whereas in Year 11, pupils have 5 lessons over a fortnight.
Accommodation and Resources
The PE department is made up of a variety of different teaching rooms. We have a gymnasium where most of our dance, trampolining and gym lessons take place; a 2 court sports hall, where badminton, dodgeball and basketball lessons take place, and the main school hall where table tennis lessons take place. We have a large playing field which holds 3 football pitches, 1 hockey pitch, a cricket wicket and grids for lesson use. We also have an outdoor hard area boasting 4 netball courts and 4 tennis courts, as well as a grass area for 3 additional tennis courts. GCSE theory lessons are taught in the main school building and A' level lessons are taught in the main college building.
- Each theory room has its own interactive whiteboard (Promethean) and its own computer for teacher use.
- Laptop trolleys can be booked for use.
- The department is well resourced with equipment available for a range of different sporting activities. We try and keep our equipment in good condition and up to date.
- The department is also well resourced with sets of Edexcel textbooks for GCSE and A' Level pupils. Pupils are given the option to buy a handful of other resources to enhance their learning of the subject.
- We subscribe to PE review magazine and use articles from this to support our teaching of the A' Level syllabus.
Extra-Curricular Activity and Trips
Physical Education is not only about competitive sports.
We know that, but sometimes it's not so obvious to the students. We think it is important to allow every pupil to achieve in a variety of different sporting situations and so we offer a wide range of extra-curricular activities. Some of our regular activities are listed below.
- We offer clubs at lunch time and after school in the following activities: Netball, football, dodgeball, rugby, dance, basketball, badminton, handball, cross country, tennis, softball, rounders, trampolining, table tennis, athletics and fitness.
- We enter into many different leagues and cups for a variety of competitive sports.
- We run an extensive inter-tutor competition where every pupil is given the opportunity to take part in a variety of sports to gain points for tutor groups.
- We hold an annual sports day.
- We run a PE impact day for KS3 pupils.
- We run the annual Ski trip.
- We run a PGL Netball tour each year.
- We organise trips to see international matches in a variety of different sports.

Mind = blown.
That's how the cool kids of the internet describe a fact, insight or theory that completely, well, blows your mind.
It's become a meme, and even a meme of a meme, with Jackie Chan being the most popular one.
The reason I bring it up is because I read a theory this week that completely blew my mind. And it was all the more fun because it was actually about how our minds work.
So mind = blown on multiple levels.
I'll admit, it's pretty "out there" but it is also hugely interesting. And it could have big consequences for many of the fields we cover.
From biotech, to AI, to machine learning… and maybe even the key to eternal life, this theory may advance them all.
So today, we're going to explore it.
Okay then. Let's get started.
Defining the "hard problem" of consciousness
Science has managed to solve many of the problems ancient philosophers struggled with.
But there is one that still has it stumped.
This is the problem of consciousness. It's actually referred to as "the hard problem" of consciousness because it is so difficult to solve.
Basically the hard problem of consciousness is that of subjectivity.
How do I know that what I see as the colour red is the same as what you see as the colour red?
Or, how do I know that when I experience the pain of stubbing my toe it's feels the same as when you stub your toe?
Or, how do I know that the sound of a piano sounds the same to you as it does to me?
You get the idea.
How do you explain our subjective experiences?
How do you explain the feeling of being conscious, where does it come from?
We can trace all the pathways of the brain, all our sense organs and all the nerves they stimulate, but we can't explain why or how they make us feel the way they do.
We can't explain what it is in our brain that makes us feel like us.
Okay, hold that thought.
We're now going off on a tangent that seems completely unrelated. But as you'll soon see. It's not.
In fact, it could explain everything.
Cue film reference
Have you ever seen the film Split?
Don't worry if not. Here's a synopsis from Wikipedia.
Split is a 2016 American psychological horror film written, co-produced and directed by M. Night Shyamalan and starring James McAvoy, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Betty Buckley.
The film follows a man with 23 different personalities who kidnaps and imprisons three teenage girls in an isolated underground facility.
One of his darker personalities manifests within his psyche and results in his eventual transformation into a merciless and cannibalistic sociopath with superhuman abilities and an insatiable hunger for human flesh.
In the film, McAvoy has dissociative identity disorder (DID) which is more commonly called multiple personality disorder.
His therapist cites a case where a sufferer of DID actually went blind when in certain personalities – or "alters" as they are called.
She says there is a lot we don't know about DID and it may be more powerful than anyone realises. Of course, later on, McAvoy undergoes his own physical transformation when he moves into his 24th alter.
Sounds crazy, right? How can someone with DID possibly physically change when they enter different alters?
Well, it turns out the blindness case is true.
As Scientific American writes:
In 2015, doctors in Germany reported the extraordinary case of a woman who suffered from what has traditionally been called "multiple personality disorder" and today is known as "dissociative identity disorder" (DID). The woman exhibited a variety of dissociated personalities ("alters"), some of which claimed to be blind. Using EEGs, the doctors were able to ascertain that the brain activity normally associated with sight wasn't present while a blind alter was in control of the woman's body, even though her eyes were open. Remarkably, when a sighted alter assumed control, the usual brain activity returned.
Different states of consciousness can indeed physically change our bodies and brains, it turns out.
Okay, now here's where we tie it all together.
What if everything is conscious?
One possible solution to the hard problem of consciousness is called panpsychism.
This is the theory that every individual bit of matter has its own in-built consciousness.
What then follows from this is the theory of constitutive micropsychism, which the Stanford Encyclopaedia of Philosophy has a good description of:
According to constitutive micropsychism, the smallest parts of my brain have very basic forms of consciousness, and the consciousness of my brain as a whole is in some sense made up from the consciousness of its parts.
But this theory runs into a fairly obvious problem called the combination problem.
From The Stanford Encyclopaedia of Philosophy:
According to constitutive micropsychism, micro-level entities have their own very basic forms of conscious experience, and in brains these micro-level conscious entities somehow come together to constitute human and animal consciousness. The problem is that this is very difficult to make sense of: "little" conscious subjects of experience with their micro-experiences coming together to form a "big" conscious subject with its own experiences.
What the theory I read – the one that blew my mind – suggests is that there is no individual consciousness. Everything is part of the same consciousness. We are all merely "alters" of one giant consciousness.
Where is my mind?
I told you this issue would be pretty "out there" didn't I?
But the more you think about it, the more sense it seems to make.
The article I read was by the authors of a paper on this subject. Here's how they describe it in Scientific American.
The obvious way around the combination problem is to posit that, although consciousness is indeed fundamental in nature, it isn't fragmented like matter. The idea is to extend consciousness to the entire fabric of spacetime, as opposed to limiting it to the boundaries of individual subatomic particles.
And here is where dissociation comes in. We know empirically from DID that consciousness can give rise to many operationally distinct centers of concurrent experience, each with its own personality and sense of identity. Therefore, if something analogous to DID happens at a universal level, the one universal consciousness could, as a result, give rise to many alters with private inner lives like yours and ours. As such, we may all be alters—dissociated personalities—of universal consciousness.
You can read the author's full paper, "the Universe in Consciousness" here.
So, to summarise: M. Night Shyamalan, director of The Sixth Sense and Split may have stumbled on to the answer to life, the universe and everything. We are all disassociated alters of one universal consciousness.
Mind = blown.
Until next time,

PS If this theory turns out to have merit, perhaps it could explain some of the unexplainables of quantum physics (which I wrote about here). What do you think, is there something to it, or is it all a load of rubbish? Let me know: firstname.lastname@example.com. Personally, I don't know what I believe any more.

Extra PunctuationGame Stories Demand FocusExtra Punctuation - RSS 2.0
Several metric yonks ago I devoted this column to a brief glossary of elitist asshole game critic buzzwords, and one of those was "focused." Meaning a game that concentrates on making a few things spectacular rather than splash out all over the place and make a big mess. This can apply to both gameplay mechanics and story. Halo has simple gameplay mechanics and a big massive epic story that I could give a shit about, whereas a game like System Shock has overly complicated gameplay with a tight and interesting story.
After playing The Bastion and realizing how much I'd enjoyed the story aspect, it occurred to me that virtually every game I consider well-written demonstrates good focus in the story department. The running theme seems to be that they concentrate on a small group of characters with intriguing personalities and motivations, all mutually connected to the central plot. Silent Hill 2: James Sunderland only encounters four other characters in his journey, all of whom reflect a facet of the darkness inside him. Prince of Persia: Sands of Time: the Prince's actions result in the deaths of everyone except himself, Farah, and the scheming vizier, all of whom desire the Dagger of Time and have their own ideas of how to fix everything. This tight focus allows the game to establish its characters without having to fall upon obvious tropes like "because he's the bad guy." Even the evil vizier's desire for immortality is shown to be motivated by his constant coughing up blood.
Conversely, games that attempt to have huge sweeping epic stories about multiple factions fighting for the future of all lifekind tend to fall kind of flat for me. Often they fall victim to the George Lucas fallacy that sheer spectacle is an adequate replacement for interesting characters. I don't care if your wisecracking action hero must overcome a speeding train full of angry bears by doing a triple backward sommersault while firing rockets - none of it is an ounce as interesting as a character overcoming their own flaws, and when I say "flaw", I mean a flaw that actually gets in the way of their effectiveness, not a flaw like "does not respect authority" or "has gung-ho tendency to run back into danger to rescue allies" or "can barely see over his own pectoral muscles."
I guess the problem with games, one I've mentioned before, is that it's hard to make a character flawed when gameplay necessarily depends on them succeeding at every turn. On the other hand, player-protagonist disconnect can make overcoming flaws all the more interesting. Lately I've been contemplating the notion of a main character with a phobia that's worked into gameplay - e.g. a hydrophobic character who slows to a crawl and loses all stamina when they move through or near water. In that case the player would be all the more invested in helping the character overcome their fear, since it impacts the player's fun, and any later misfortune the character undergoes would invoke the player's sympathies all the more since the two of them have had to work hard together to get to that point.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Mens Basketball' started by ChrisMWilliams, May 27, 2019.
If we land Bolton and he's immediately eligible how could the Spring have really gone any better?
That would be very Malou-esq
Just because I like a challenge...
Nadolny, Tucker (if he graduates), and Grill?
Even if we land Bolton and he isn't immediately eligible I think Prohm has done a hell of a job this spring.
I'd rather have Johnson than Nadolny now that we got Grill. You could argue 3 years of Bolton is better than one year of Tucker too
Just landing Bolton is a b+ and if he's immediately eligible it's about as good of a spring as any intelligent fan could hope for.
So what exactly is the waiver that he's trying to get and what are the odds he could play this year?
Wow. Just. Wow.
I don't understand
I don't disagree with you. I think that's what you would have to decide...what would be better for next year and what would be better for beyond next year.
Clearly the Grill, Johnson, and Bolton (fingers crossed) group is better for the long term and I think I'm good with that.
with the way the grad transfer market and spring recruiting has changed, Prohm has done a very good job this spring. Getting Bolton would make it even better. WIth the departures we had, Prohm is doing a fantastic job.
Nobody knows.. accept isu staff probably.. really if you can provide documentation that staying at a current place is detrimental to your well being than it's usually a good bet to get a waiver.. ncaa has relaxed its requirements substantially it seems. That doesn't mean Bolton would get one just saying it's not as difficult as before.
Within next 2-3 years I doubt there's much of any transfer restrictions..
You're correct.
But, there is one huge problem with your statement. Can you figure out what it is?
I did see CSP and family in church on Sunday, so hopefully that is a good sign.
I think you could argue getting Tucker or Gilder or one of the more sought after GT to go with an eligible Bolton would have been better than Grill/Bolton/Johnson but it seems like Prohm was looking for a HS/Sit out/eligible guy from the get go. Taking that in to account, I'd give a class with Bolton an A.
The really nice thing about Bolton is, he fills the gap left by the two early departures, a gap that would cover multiple seasons. It also sets things up perfect for 20-21 and beyond. Barring something out of the ordinary happening next year, Prohm should bring back at minimum, 4/5 starters for 20-21, that's with Solo and some younger guys with potential at PG and on the wing in mix as well. Perfect fit for Foster and Carlson.
What's that?
Considering Tre Jackson is incoming I feel it was the staffs preference to only add one of Nadolny, Grill or Wheeler. I'd even argue that Grill's size shooting and versatility to play SG/SF is a better fit in the class. Nadolny and Wheeler are pretty locked into PG and some SG thus redundant with Jackson.
Johnson was a high upside player with pro traits of size and shooting that is raw and use the RS season to develop into a Clyburn type. Exactly what the staff wanted, they targeted him early and got the commitment.
If they get Rasir that would satisfy the staffs desire of a proven P5 scorer at the guard to lessen the need of Grill and Jackson to produce as freshman.
In the end, the staff has done well in the spring this year, especially I don't think they expected losing 3 players to the Pro's until late in the year. I won't give a grade because we need to see how the additions end up playing but they executed their plan. That is all we as fans can ask for.
I think James Kane was the one that targeted Johnson. He is the same one who found Ja Morant at Murray so I trust his talent evaluation.
You're assuming some of the fans are intelligent
I would consider myself a stable genius

I live in Philadelphia, and a few miles outside the city limits is the King of Prussia Mall. This complex contains more dedicated retail space than any other shopping mall in the United States!
A few years ago, the mall had a marketing slogan: "Your Kingdom Awaits."
Whoever came up with the phrase was a brilliant theologian and deeply understood the condition of the human heart.
Since the beginning of time, the lie of the Enemy has been this: Ultimate joy and satisfaction is found when you build your own kingdom.
In the Garden, Adam and Eve believed that they were able to build a greater and more satisfying kingdom than the Kingdom of God.
When the Serpent said, "You will be like God" (Genesis 3:5), he was inviting them to a false existence where they could be most high and rule unchallenged.
Every day, just like with that mall slogan, you and I are invited to build our own kingdom. But we can't blame the retailers and advertising agencies. It's only ever first because of the sin inside of us that we are attracted to the evil outside of us.
So where are we at risk of building our kingdoms in the situations, locations and relationships of everyday life?
Let's open the Bible to find a few examples. Remember, "these things took place as examples for us, that we might not desire evil as they did" (1 Corinthians 10:6).
1. Pleasure and Comfort: In Numbers 11, the Israelites were willing to sacrifice their freedom for slavery, because in Egypt, they at least had "meat, fish, cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions and garlic" (11:5).
I love how much of the glory of God in creation is edible, and it's not sinful to enjoy comfort. But beware. Chasing momentary, physical pleasure in an attempt to build our own kingdom will always lead to slavery and bondage.
2. Schedule and Organization: In Exodus 32, the Israelites built a golden calf in an act of heinous idolatry. Why? One of the reasons was because "Moses delayed to come down from the mountain" (32:1).
I'm a very task-oriented person, and organization and time management is important in God's Kingdom. But beware. Allowing the schedule of our lives to become a dominating idol can lead to foolish acts of worship.
3. Position and Power: In Luke 22, Jesus is sitting with his disciples and instituting the New Covenant. What could be more significant than this moment? Yet "a dispute also arose among them, as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest" (22:24).
God wisely created structures of leadership and has gifted people in different ways. But beware. Our status can rise to such a level of selfish significance that we're blind to beautiful Kingdom of God moments.
4. Affirmation and Approval: In Galatians 2, Paul recounts the story of when Peter allowed his fear of man (2:12) to alter the message of gospel, which he was called to be a spokesperson for.
We should strive to be respected and loved by others. But beware. Our concern over what others think of us can quickly shape our actions and words more so than the transcendent glories of the gospel.
Let me say it again: Pleasure, comfort, schedule, organization, position, power, affirmation and approval are not unimportant in the Kingdom of God.
But beware. All too often, these things can become the driving motivation in our lives, and the foundation on which we build our own personal kingdoms.
Today, let's pray and ask for protection: "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."
God bless,
Paul Tripp
- What physical pleasures do you enjoy? How can you give God the glory through your enjoyment?
- What does your schedule reveal about what is most important to you? Where may God be calling you to rearrange your time to serve him more?
- How can you use your position and power today to build the Kingdom of God and influence others for Christ's glory?
- In what ways have your words or actions been shaped by fear of man in the past week or month? Where do you need to live for the approval of God above all?

If you're ready for the worthwhile life-long investment that is a yacht, then the first step to take is choosing the right yacht broker. Not every broker is the same. It's going to require a little research to figure out who will find the best yacht for you, your family, and your needs.
Do you want a new yacht? What about a used one? How big is your ideal yacht? Just like purchasing a car, picking out the right yacht takes time. There are certain characteristics that owners look for, and these characteristics will make a big difference in the price of your yacht and the experience it offers. If you stay up-to-date on the yacht market, picking out a new toy doesn't have to be complicated. These are some of the things to consider as you shop around yacht brokers.
Look at Their Experience
Consulting Yelp or other review sites could be pretty helpful for when you need to find an experienced broker. Newer establishments could also be good, but it helps to have client testimonials that give you a better idea of what a broker's practices are and what kind of service you can expect from them.
Paying attention to reviews, former official client testimonials, and advice from specific yacht groups are some of the best ways to get your yacht search started. Look into groups like the Yacht Brokers Association of America, which offers certified programs. That extra certification is a safety net. If a yacht broker violates any policies they could lose their entire certification and membership.
Just a little research can prove to be highly indispensable. If you jump the gun and just buy a yacht off of anyone, things can go awry, and you could end up with a yacht that you weren't expecting to buy, at a price that shouldn't be as high as it is. An expert is going to make sure that you get the best yacht possible, catered to your direct needs.
Ask Them About the Details
If you know what kind of yacht you want, YachtWorld suggests finding a broker that specializes in the type of vessel you want. Not only will they know the correct pricing for the yacht that interests you, but they'll know the extras you can attach to your package. If a firm offers other services that another doesn't weigh out the pro and cons of who's going to really push you in the right direction.
Pay Attention to the Pricing
Brokers typically make commission off the boat that they sell. That means their customer service should always be on point. When dealing with large yachts, however, prices could always become more flexible.
As you prepare to make this investment, make sure you contact your insurance agent to secure California Yacht Insurance so everything will be ready to go once you're ready to set sail.
Stay tuned for our upcoming installments, in which we'll go over what to ask your yacht broker

For the win! Woot!
Ah, yeah, I'm kinda pleased with this one. After being a bit disappointed with yesterday's 50 or so frames of yellow daisies, today's 50 or so frames of yellow daisies are mostly much better. I like the curled petals at the bottom, but would like a bit more contrast across the yellow.

"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end;" (Lamentations 3:22, ESV)
"Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends." (1 Corinthians 13:7–8, ESV)
Loving One Another
As Christians, we are called to love others. This is not easy. People aren't always lovable, and yet we are commanded to do it. Jesus summed up all of the commandments by telling us to love God and love our neighbors (Mark 13:31). We are told to love our neighbors as we love ourselves.
While watching the news today, I thought about love. I thought about loving my neighbor. I thought about what that would mean if my home was being bombed. I wondered what love would look like if my neighbor was killing my child or grandchildren. How could I love someone who was committing horrific acts of violence against my sisters, brothers, parents, and extended family?
To be honest, I have no answer. I have trouble just loving the people who reject me. I tend to think of revenge when someone wrongs me. I start off angry and then I become overwhelmed by the situation. I cry, get depressed and have trouble looking beyond the circumstances.
Called to Love
The pain that is involved in love being rejected is at times impossible to bear. I can't imagine how horrific it would be to live through the horrors that are plaguing some of my brothers and sisters in the Lord. I can't comprehend the rejection, the anger and depression that would follow these terrors.
But I know that we are called to love. If we are going to show the love of Jesus to this fallen world, then we must love as He loved. "Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God." (Ephesians 5:1–2, ESV).
His love was unfailing and never ending. He loved even when He was rejected. He loved when He was criticized. He loved when people were selfish. Jesus loved when He was harmed. He loved when he was tortured and killed. And He still loves while his precious children are being harmed. His love will never fail.
Incomprehensible Love
I can't comprehend this love, let alone try and imitate it. Not in my own power and strength. So I have decided to pray this prayer for me and for all the others for whom I pray.
"So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen." (Ephesians 3:17–21, ESV)
That we may love like Jesus.

a pair of scissors
sketch marker.
Step 1: THE BEGNING
So lets start with the box
I advise you to take a good cardboard box little bit bigger then the breadth of magazines.
Mark a horizontal line on the front of the box, about 2/3 rd of the height of the box..(see the pics)
.Mark a slanting line on both sides of the box from which the cardboard is to be cut.(see the pics)
Step 2: Step 2
Cut the marked lines to make it like the box in the pics.
Fold the lid of the box inwards.
make two holes near the ends of the folded lid.this is done to meke the holder hang on the wall.
Step 3: Step 3
now cut the upper part of the two PET bottles..(see the pics)
Join them by gorilla glue/tape on both the sides of the box we prepared.

Buddy this is excellent !
i am definitely going to make one and VOTE for YOU !
thanx man , i feel i won the competition because at least my instructable helped someone in some way ....
good one !
Voting has started , please everyone vote for this if u liked it.i would really appreciate your help !
This is very cool.
I think I'll try it and cover the box with something- contact or scrapbook paper- or magazine pages/pix.
I think you could make a great box too for all the piled up mail/bills/papers that need attending to by taking a bunch of bottles and securing them them inside the box and then sorting the stuff into the bottles- as long as they don't have to lay flat.
I always have piles of papers around- jotted notes, ideas for art, to do lists that get lost in the piles.
I have to try something like this.
Thanks for the great instructable.
It rocks.
(I'm trying to figure out where/how to vote- When I do a vote for YOU.
Thank you sooo much ! You made my day !

An underwater burial site containing 8000-year-old battered skulls with some impaled on stakes has left archaeologists baffled.
The watery grave located in east-central Sweden had 11 adults, seven of which showed signs of "blunt-force trauma" to their skulls although researchers said this did not kill them immediately as there were "signs of healing".
Brain tissue
Two skulls had stakes in them, one of which was broken and incredibly a piece of brain tissue was found inside one skull.
The i newsletter cut through the noise
The near-entire skeleton of an infant who was likely to have been stillborn or died shortly after death was also found at the site which measured 39 ft by 46 ft (12 by 14 metres).
At least three of the adults were female and six or seven of them were male, according to the study which was published in journal Antiquity.
Complex ritual
Of the eleven adults, only one had a jawbone. Archaeologists also found various animal bones, including dismembered jawbones and arms and legs all from the right side of the body.
"Here, we have an example of a very complex ritual, which is very structured," said study co-lead researcher Fredrik Hallgren, an archaeologist at the Cultural Heritage Foundation in Västerås, Sweden. "Even though we can't decipher the meaning of the ritual, we can still appreciate the complexity of it, of these prehistoric hunter-gatherers."
Archaeologists were initially called to the area – located at the archaeological site of Kanaljorden to survey it for artifacts before the construction work took place. Once the site was discovered, scientists excavated it from 2009 to 2013.
