Dense fog enveloped the national capital and its adjoining areas due to which air, rail and road traffic were affected for the third consecutive day. Flights operations were disrupted as visibility on all the three runways of the IGI Airport dipped to below 50 metres in the morning.
According to the airport officials, around 40 domestic and international flights, arriving and departing from Delhi, were delayed, causing inconvenience to passengers. Around eight flights were cancelled or not operating out of Delhi to some destinations either due to operational reasons or poor weather conditions.
Dense fog also affected the train movement as 50 Delhi-bound trains including Rajdhani Express were running four to seven hours behind schedule because of poor visibility. Delhi Division has made special arrangements to help passengers affected due to the late running of trains.
In Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh, dense fog has disrupted normal life. Early this evening, dens fog engulfed the region, affecting road, rail and air traffic.
According to a Railway spokesman, around 12 up and down trains are running two to nine hours late.
According to Met department, the fog will continue to disrupt normal life in the days to come.
The Veterinary experts say, this is a hard time for farmers in Punjab and Haryana as they have to save their livestock from cold wave and fog.

Seen an unusually high number of mustaches recently? If you're near the Wisconsin School of Business, chances are the answer to that question is a definite "yes." That's because a team of over 20 MBAs, including six Real Estate students, have chosen to partake in the "Movember" movement that is sweeping the globe.
These students (myself included) have dedicated their facial "real estate" for the month of November to raise funds and awareness for men's health, specifically prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men. During our endeavor to master the art of fine mustachery, we effectively become walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of November. Through our actions and words, we raise awareness by prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of men's health.
The team has already raised over $1,000, and there's plenty of time left in the month to keep the effort going! The movement has been a great way to connect with classmates and support a very worthwhile cause. Team captain Topher Stephenson has done a great job recruiting team members, and the Graduate Business Association has assisted in promoting the cause in the Grainger Squire. We are in an "MBA Challenge" network, in which we compete against other MBA programs across the globe for the most donations received. We are currently in 8th place, and hoping to continue the strong presence!
Interested in joining the team or making a donation? Visit team Mustache MBA homepage for details!
Andrew Toby is a first-year MBA student in the James A. Graaskamp Center for Real Estate. A CPA from California, Andrew hopes to utilize both his accounting background and the knowledge gained in the MBA program to pursue a career in private equity investments in real estate.

Join us Sunday at 10:30 a.m. for the Second Sunday of Advent. Guest preacher Maggie Sebastian will explore Mark's Story of Christmas with us.
Each of the gospel writers seeks to make sense of the story of Jesus. How did he begin his life? What is important in his teachings? What happened at the cross and afterward?
Though it comes second in our Bible, Mark was the first gospel written. Mark is the most concise. It has a "just the facts m'am" feel to it as the story of Jesus unfolds. This results in an absence of a birth narrative of any kind. Clearly the writer of our first gospel did not know of or find the birth important.
What Mark does, however, is connect us to the past, present, and future. Making reference to the past, to the prophets of the elder testament, Mark points us to a hopeful future.
Scripture Mark 1:1-3 CEB
1 The beginning of the good news about Jesus Christ, God's Son, 2 happened just as it was written about in the prophecy of Isaiah:
Look, I am sending my messenger before you.
He will prepare your way,
3 a voice shouting in the wilderness:
"Prepare the way for the Lord;
make his paths straight."

Housing minister Grant Shapps has urged lenders to consider offering fixed-rate mortgages of up to 25 years.
Speaking at the Building Societies Association's Annual Mortgage Seminar last night, Shapps suggested that lenders should follow the lead of Germany and Scandinavia by offering truly long-term fixed-rate mortgages.
"Of course, there are going to be costs and benefits for consumers to weigh up, and long-term fixes won't be for everyone," he said. "For some, though, the peace of mind of knowing exactly how much they'll have going out of their account each month could be what gives them the confidence to buy."
Portable deals
The minister also stated that he believes that 'portable' deals – where you are able to move house and keep your existing mortgage – and 'cap and collar' arrangements, where the interest rate on your loan can only move within set limits, would help make longer-term fixes appealing to borrowers.
Check out the best mortgage rates currently available
However, experts are speculative as to whether consumers want long-term deals. "Longer-term fixed-rate mortgages have been offered in the past but with limited consumer demand," says Paul Broadhead, head of mortgage policy for the Building Societies Association. "Ten-year rates are currently available and lenders do respond with new products where demand exists."
Yorkshire Building Society, which currently offers a 10-year fixed-rate mortgage at 4.19%, also says demand is low for long-term fixes. "The Yorkshire has offered 25-year fixed-rate mortgages in the past but these had a very small take-up rate," says Chris Smith, Yorkshire's group direct mortgage manager. "One of the challenges of offering very long-term mortgages is balancing the length and security these give to the borrower with flexibility should their needs or circumstances change."
But it seems attitudes are changing. The Yorkshire says its 10-year fixed mortgage is growing in popularity. And Chelsea Building Society recently offered a 5, 6, 7 mortgage where borrowers could choose to fix for five, six or seven years – the majority went for the latter. So maybe in the future Britain will move to a more continental system of long-term fixed-rate mortgages.

Until recently, the mainstream media has been loathe to call out the Bush administration on false statements. And even when a reporter or commentator did so, he or she would would not characterize the misstatements as deliberate lies.
That may be changing. Frank Rich's column in Sunday's New York Times trots out the "L" word in matter-of-fact fashion.
He also suggests that if what Bush says really were true — that the safety of Americans depends on the success of the Iraq war — then Americans are in trouble, given the course of the war so far.

Development of An Intelligent Forecasting System for Pakistan WAPDA using Machine Learning Techniques

Power industry provides backbone for a country's growth and development and is one of the most important utilities that underpin the survival of a nation's critical industrial infrastructures and services. It is, therefore, very important to plan generation, distribution and transmission of electric power for current and also for future needs. The current imbalance between available energy supplies and increasing energy demand in Pakistan has necessitated rolling blackouts and renewed requests for conservation. With the increase in energy demand, Independent Power Plants (IPP's) were introduced few years ago. The birth of a deregulated power industry in Pakistan brought new challenges for Pakistan WAPDA in terms of managing the IPP's for their power generation, distribution, overall billing and invoice management. WAPDA has established a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with these private energy producers to handle energy purchase related issues. According to the PPA, IPP's have to declare their available capacity 12 months, 3 months, 3 days and 24 hours in advance for medium term and short term available generation capacity. This project proposes to develop an intelligent decision making system that can forecast accurately short-term, long-term and real-time energy requirements and facilitate in most economic unit commitment and in planning efficient and least cost power generation; that applies to multiple sites in different seasons and is suitable for customized requirements. Load forecasting emerged as a natural requirement for IPP's and there is also a direct need at National Transmission & Dispatch Company (NTDC) for such a system. Electric load forecasting (LF) involves the projection of peak demand levels and overall energy consumption patterns to support an electric utility's future system and business operations. Accurate electricity LF is first and foremost important step in the decision-making process of any electric utility. This project developed an intelligent and accurate LF system for Pakistan Power System. This system is based on the intelligent modeling techniques of machine learning for regression and classification. Such models are applied on data collected from national and local power supply companies. Software user interface is simple and user friendly. A large variety of mathematical methods and ideas have been used for load forecasting. The development and improvements of appropriate mathematical tools lead to the development of more accurate load forecasting techniques. The accuracy of load forecasting depends not only on the load forecasting techniques, but also on the accuracy of forecasted weather scenarios and historical data quality. Noisy data can generate erroneous results. This software puts the most recent mathematical algorithms into this task and provides reliable pre-processing of input features to detect outliers, fill missing values and to remove duplicated values

I have already mentioned Tasmanian Devils, animals so fierce that they are driving themselves to extinction. Their extreme ferocity is proving to be a greater threat to their continued existence than habitat loss, as their continuous fighting with each other is causing the spread of a virus that leads to them growing repulsive tumours in their mouths and dying of starvation. Scientists project that they will become extinct in the next couple of decades, unless they stop being so fierce. As a Tasmanian Devil move away from ferocity is not considered likely, the BBC reports that scientists are trying to move uninfected animals away from their infectious kin, in the hope that this allows the species to survive. I hope it does.
In other fierce animal news, the BBC reports that India's notorious maqaque monkeys have claimed the life of SS Bajwa, Deputy Mayor of Delhi. He was set upon by some of the loutish animals, who forced him off a balcony to his death. This is only the latest and most extreme outrage perpetrated by this uncontrollable animals, believed by many to be embodiments of the God Hanuman. Inhabitants of Delhi are probably hoping that there is no repeat of the 2001 events, in which the city was terrorised by an entity that was half-man, half monkey, and all monster.

Laura Curran is the best person to address Nassau County's struggles head on, and the only county executive candidate willing to try.
Nassau County deserves a competent, honest government. That requires a leader who listens to the people, is not beholden to special interests and can articulate a clear plan to address Nassau's ills. On the most important issues, Curran makes the case that she is that person more convincingly than her opponent, Jack Martins. Curran demonstrates less fealty to the political powers-that-be, more willingness to hear the public and do its will, and an unusual humility.
Curran, 49, lives in Baldwin. A Democrat, she's in her second term on the county legislature and before that served on the Baldwin school board. Her plans are tough and clear-eyed, a fact that shines through with her take on the county's largest problem: the corruption that has destroyed the public trust.
County Executive Edward Mangano faces federal charges as does fellow Republican and former Town of Oyster Bay supervisor John Venditto, for trading political favors to a vendor for personal gain. Venditto, other former officials and contractors were also indicted on allegations Carlo Lizza & Sons Paving Inc. paid millions of dollars in bribes in return for town paving work and zoning decisions.
In another blow, wiretaps in the corruption trial of former Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos revealed that he pressured Mangano to give a $12 million storm water-treatment contract to a firm that was paying the senator's son, Adam, $10,000 a month.
And Newsday reported in 2015 that Nassau agreed to hundreds of contracts for amounts just under the $25,000 threshold that would have demanded legislative approval. Often they were granted to the politically connected, at times for work that was neither needed nor performed. There are bad actors everywhere, in every party. But a systemic government operation that allows it to happen goes beyond a few bad apples. Now is the time to pull out all the stops to convince Nassau County residents that the insiders' game is finally over.
Martins, a Republican who has a spotless record, could have seized this moment by presenting a fierce ethics plan. Instead he has hedged, opposing the key elements of a plan by an independent panel of experts. They recommended a $2,000 cap on political contributions by vendors to the county executive and the creation of an independent inspector general, with a staff, to provide oversight, a common practice in many municipalities.
But Martins, 50, of Old Westbury, doesn't see why having an ethics officer who answers to the county executive and whose budget is dependent on that official is a problem. And he says that while he's willing to talk about limiting political donations of county vendors, he has no thoughts on what the limits ought to be. The blue ribbon panel made its recommendation in September 2015; that's more than enough time to figure out a position on contribution limits.
Souring the perception of Martins is the strange odor coming from a scheme by Deputy County Executive Rob Walker to award the county's Civil Service Employees Association $5 million of the $10 million in pay it claims it's owed in the aftermath of a wage freeze, and a guarantee of no layoffs in 2018. Walker signed a legal document agreeing to the terms with CSEA head Jerry Larrichiuta.
But the deal was blown up by the county attorney, who said Walker had no authority to sign it. Besides, the Nassau Interim Finance Authority says the money isn't even owed to the union. Larrichiuta maintains that he had a legitimate agreement with Walker. After Walker's deal was signed but before it blew up, the CSEA, which refrained from endorsing in the past two county executive races, backed Martins.
Then there is this. Last week an audiotape surfaced of Larrichiuta, at a forum for union members, explaining CSEA's selection of Martins. Larrichiuta said that at separate private sessions seeking the union's endorsement, he gave Martins and Curran a binary choice: enact layoffs or raise taxes to keep jobs. Martins said he would raise taxes "a little bit," the union leader said on the recording. However, Martins' public stance has been that tax increases won't be necessary. Larrichiuta told members that in her answer, Curran stuck to her public stance that she would not raise taxes. He told members that Martins' willingness to raise taxes is a big part of why he got the CSEA nod.
Curran favors an independent inspector general, and bans or tight limits on vendor contributions. She's calling for contracts over $1 million to go before the legislature for approval, rather than being rubber stamped by a few members of the Rules Committee. And she supports limits on officials praising themselves in county-funded mailers, and a ban on mailers within 60 days of an election, an issue on which Martins has been silent.
The other huge issue facing the county and separating the candidates is an assessment office in shambles and a property tax system that costs the county as much as $100 million a year. Savvy owners challenge their valuations annually, spurred on by tax firms that file grievances for a cut of the refund and a county policy to just settle most challenges. The losers are the county, and the property owners who don't play the game.
Curran's plan is to hire a qualified assessor and build a department that can accurately value properties. That's the most practical solution right now. Martins, a former state senator, says he'd get rid of the county guarantee that makes Nassau pay tax refunds to school districts and other municipalities on money it collected but never kept. School districts so vehemently oppose such a change that gaining Albany's approval would be difficult. As part of his plan, Martins wants to turn assessments over to the towns, paying them to take over the task. That may be the ultimate fix but for now the towns do not want the task or the expense and Martins can't say how he will accomplish the heavy lift, or when.
On much of what the county faces, the two agree. Both think police overtime is out of control and want to cut government waste. Both think Nassau needs more economic development and would focus on the Hub as the centerpiece of broadening the tax base. Both oppose huge fee increases on traffic tickets and real estate transactions.
Martins garnered management experience when he was mayor of Mineola. Curran is a unifier and leader. Both have a strong record of public service and accomplishment. But where they differ, Curran is right and Martins is wrong.
Newsday endorses Curran.

Gov. Evers calls Republican state senators 'amoral and stupid'
Wisconsin Democratic Gov. Tony Evers is telling state workers that Republican state senators are "amoral and stupid" for firing his agriculture secretary.
Evers also told agriculture department employees at a meeting last week not to "let the bastards keep us from doing our work." That is according to a tweet from Cheryl Daniels, an attorney at the agency. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel first reported the comments Wednesday.
Evers' spokeswoman Melissa Baldauff says the governor told the state employees not to let the "bastards" impede their work. She says it was meant as a turn of phrase, not as a direct attack on the GOP legislators.
The GOP-controlled Senate on Thursday voted to fire Brad Pfaff, the governor's agriculture secretary. Evers took the unusual step of attending the Senate debate in person and afterward criticized the move in comments to reporters sprinkled with four-letter words.

The Glenfarclas Cross Country Handicap Chase is a race run on day one of the Cheltenham Festival over three miles, seven furlongs and is open to horses aged five years or older.
Established in 2005 when the festival was extended to four days, the Cross Country Handicap Chase is one of the greatest spectacles of the entire meeting as horses jump an array of obstacles during the race. Not only do the runners have to deal with a whole host of quirky hurdles they also have to contend with various banks and sharp turns around the middle of the racecourse.
One trainer has dominated the race since its inception and that is Irish-based handler Enda Bolger, who has saddled the winner four times since the race began.
Spot Thedifference won the inaugural running for Bolger, whilst Heads Onthe Ground made it two wins in three years, but it would be Garde Champetre who would really be the star for the Irishman.
Nina Carberry had already partnered Heads Onthe Ground to success in 2006, but she cemented her place in history by partnering Garde Champetre to victory in 2008 and 2009 to secure three consecutive victories in the unique race and hand Bolger four wins in five years.
With the race becoming ever more popular, Cheltenham now offer trials for the race during their October and November meetings with Bolger usually saddling a plethora of runners in each race.
Sizing Australia was a gallant winner of the 2011 renewal handing trainer Henry De Bromhead his first win in the race and it was the catalyst for more winners at the festival for De Bromhead as he also won the Queen Mother Champion Chase with Sizing Europe,
Form on this contest may be a bit sketchy, but the trials taking place during the season certainly give punters the opportunity to see their horses over the wild and wacky obstacles. Near the race we will also provide a look at the runners set to take part in the Festival's unique contest.

He Keeps Me Singing
The Choir sang He Keeps Me Singing today. It has a barber shop type harmony and a very lively piano accompaniment. While singing that song, I started wondering if any other Lutheran church in the country would be singing barber shop harmony today.
I guess I was day dreaming more than that. I started longing for my lunch and thought about going to the grocery store across the street for a ham steak and some hash browns, onions, and green peppers. When I got home, I discovered that I had forgotten to eat my breakfast. No wonder I was hungry.
The pastor is away at the synod convention today. Our bishop granted our parish nurse the privilege of presiding over the communion.

I have some real struggles with the idea of lay presidency...it seems to be an innovation without grounding in historic practice. I've never understood why bishops would grant such a thing rather than simply have churches celebrate a Service of the Word.ReplyDelete
I understand the requirement of ordained clergy presiding over Holy Communion is to ensure good order, but a lay people can do far more damage preaching and no one says anything about that. As long as the Gospel is preached, go for it. Clergy have no special power.ReplyDelete
I don't think the issue is either doing damage or about having special power. I think it really is about the office of ministry. While some reformation texts argue the "good order" only line of reasoning, others push ordination in a more sacramental direction. I am thinking of the Wittenburg Ordination rite, which refers to ordination as a second sanctification. One could argue, by extension, that this is the thing necessary for presidency at the altar. The confessions themselves seem to contradict one another in the matter of ordination and what it means (ie is it a sacrament itself), but in my estmation, it seems that the church is well advised to preserve activities such as sacramental ministries to the clergy.ReplyDelete
As an aside: I would even extend this into preaching. If a lay person is to speak at our church, I ask to see a copy of what they are going to say in advance.
Still laughing about the gravy song....and on another note entirely (ba dum bump) I tagged you for a meme. See my place.ReplyDelete
I don't know this for a fact, but I'm guessing that our bishop doesn't grant the communion priviledge to just anybody. The woman who presided has been our parish nurse for many years and leads many of the spiritual groups in our church.ReplyDelete
Would you suggest, then, that a seminary intern would need to have their sermon approved by their supervisor before they preach?
As for preserving "activities such as sacramental ministries to the clergy." I partially agree with you. I believe clergy are called and ordained to the ministry of Word and Sacrament. But in extreme situations it is perfectly alright for lay people to preside at communion and preach the word. After all, it is the proclamation of the Gospel that is important.
But there also needs to be some supervision. I would want to make sure a lay person was trained and knew what they were doing at the Table. As for reviewing a sermon before hand, that would depend on the person. A synodically trained lay person I would trust. Someone who was not trained I would have some more conversation with.

Seen It, Solved It: Jira Service Desk for ITIL
Growth Through Change
"Organizations that do not or cannot evolve will not last." In the business world, change is constant and necessary, especially when it comes to meeting the dynamic needs of customers. ITIL, or Information Technology Infrastructure Library, is a methodology that helps organizations effectively manage change while putting the customer at the center of the process. ITIL prescribes processes to ensure the customer's needs and requests are handled with ease – from acknowledgement of an issue through the application and evaluation of the solution. One of the greatest values of the ITIL methodology is that it embeds continual improvement into the process. The ITIL framework can be leveraged by anyone, including non-technical teams, to better manage change and serve customers. Atlassian's fastest growing product, Jira Service Desk, facilitates ITIL adoption in an organization by encouraging traceability, collaboration, and reporting.

SharePoint as an Enterprise-Level BPM Tool?
As we've noted in previous posts, BPM enables businesses to map, analyze, and test business processes in order to make them more predictable, repeatable, and efficient. An enterprise can assume they'll accomplish those goals by leveraging BPM software from EMC, Lombardi, or Savvion…but with Microsoft SharePoint? Isn't that for enterprise collaboration and document management?

Well this week just went on full steam ahead, somehow it's half way through September and I swear it was only summer yesterday. From dresses, sandals and shorts the heating* has kicked on a few times this week and I'm already planning to get the 'winter' clothes down from the loft.
Speaking of planning I have not been making much progress with my meal plan. The cupboards are clean and I have a lovely long list, even a few meals jotted down but I've found myself distracted and so I'm cheating this week – with a Hello Fresh box. We've used them before and the excuse I'm sticking with is that I've got overtime for the next two weeks. It's not that I'm being lazy at all…promise.
Hubby's abandoned me for a fancy work conference this weekend and as I've just managed to get the monsters to sleep I'm off to enjoy a cuppa (only three tea bags left in the house currently, shock, horror!) and to catch up with the Bake Off.
Have a great weekend.

Reading Rocks
We have worked diligently meeting the goals for reading for the first semester. I'm extremely proud of the students that are reading and documenting their reading on the weekly Homework Reading Logs and on their 25 Books Reading Campaign Log. The students received a Book-It! Pizza Hut coupon for their efforts. Congratulations! However, we still have some students that are not on task with their Reading Logs and/or 25 Books Campaign Goal. Please encourage your child to stay on task weekly.
We will have a Reading Assessment December 10, 2015 which will cover the skills/strategies taught in reading. The students received a Reading Resource Folder with a snapshot of reading skills to use as a reference as they continue to learn.
In the month of December, we will continue to read and review Main Idea-supporting details, describing characters in a story-(traits and feelings), Figurative Language, Point of View, Cause and Effect, Sequence, Recounting a story, and continue to review historical figures.
Students will also know their current reading level by December 18, 2015.
Reminders: 25 Books Campaign- Students should have 16 books read and documented in their log. Please encourage your child to follow the reading schedule.
Monday- Thursday Reading Homework: Read for 20-30 minutes and fill out the Reading homework Log. A reading log was sent home with the dates written. Please initial the log.
Friday- Sunday- Students should work on the 25 Books Campaign Log
Pizza Coupons will be awarded randomly. Please help your child remember Tuesdays are library day and Friday I will check the Reading Log homework.
READING gives us a place to GO when we have to STAY where we are!
Writing for Success
Students have submitted final copies of their informational writing samples. Although we did work through the parts of this piece together, the final pieces are completely student created. I gave guidance but allowed them to complete these independently so that their work showed exactly where they are as writers at this point in the year. I have conferred with each child individually to make sure they understand their grade, my comments, and how to improve their work. I also gave students who earned either a D or a U an opportunity to rewrite their papers and submit them to me by today. Again, this had to be completed at school and completely independently. Some students took me up on the offer while others did not. As this is a writing sample, there is not an opportunity for retakes on this assignment. If your child scored poorly and you feel that they can do better, please have that conversation with your child and stress the importance of taking pride in their work and doing their best every time. As I have explained to them, they will not get a "retake" at the end of the year when they are taking their Milestones and writing is a big part of both the Language Arts and Math assessments.
I'm including a great website that you can utilize at home to help your child grow as a writer. There are several interactive components that will help to make writing fun. Of course, just putting paper to pencil is always a great way to practice as well!
During the month of December students will continue to work in class on their informational/research writing sample, most of them are already done! This is their first long (5 paragraph) writing sample so it has taken some time to complete. Our goal is to have these completed and published (hand written final copies) by the end of this week.
Once we are done with our informational writing we will work on a short unit on writing to a prompt and then a short letter writing unit. **Please send your child to school with a plain (any color will do), stamped envelope. DO NOT ADDRESS IT! Students will be working on proper letter format as well as addressing envelopes in order to mail the letters. Please make sure to write your child's name on the inside of the envelope so I know who's is who's. If we do not get enough participation we may not be able to complete this activity, so please send in a stamped envelope ASAP. Thank you!
How can you help prepare your child? Well, if you're doing holiday letters or cards allow your child to use their neatest handwriting to help to address the envelopes or draft the letter. Your child also knows how to edit and revise so you can always have them check over your work if you'd prefer! Have them pay special attention to the placement of commas in letters, dates and addresses. We appreciate your helping us to create great writers!
Remember, another great way to keep your child fresh on their writing skills is to have them keep a journal over the winter break.
Grammar Fun
Students will begin previewing using quotations in dialogue. They will also learn about the four types of sentences, imperative (command), interrogative (asking), declarative (telling), and exclamatory (excitement) so that they can include a better variety of sentences in their writing. We will continue and review this skill when we return in January.
Math Corner
We are finishing up our unit on area by reviewing the formula and trying different ways to find area of composite figures by decomposing them into rectangles. Our test over this unit will be Wednesday, December 9th.
Once we complete this unit, we will be working on graphing and continuing to work on solving two step word problems. Make sure the students are following the "read three times" rule when they are doing their math homework.
First read - Form a picture in your mind
Second read - Underline or write down important information
Third read - Plan and solve!
Two step word problems will be incorporated into tests in future units throughout the year.
Investigating Science
Soil Weathering and Erosion.
Soil is the next unit. The students will compare and contrast the texture, particle size and color in top soils (clay, loam, potting soil, and sand). They will also compare weathering and erosion, and determine how water and wind can change rocks and soil over time.
As in the past, we will complete our weathering, erosion and soil unit through the workshop model and science labs. Listed below are the Lab Book chapter names and pages needed to prepare for the test. These pages should have already been completed, so you can use them to study.
There will be a quiz on the vocabulary words tentatively scheduled for Wednesday Dec. 9th.
The test is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday Dec. 15th.
Chapter: How Can Water and Wind Change the Land pages 24-29. The vocabulary words are: delta, deposition, erosion, glacier and weathering.
Chapter: What is Soil pages 30-33. The vocabulary words are bedrock, humus, soil, subsoil and topsoil.
Rocks and Minerals Test: On Monday of this week, I conferenced with all students regarding their tests and test grades. As stated in the retake policy, each child can retake 1 test per subject per quarter. If your child has not retaken any tests in Science this quarter (2nd), they were offered a summary mastery ticket if requested (I gave them a chance to decide if they wanted to retake the test or keep the grade. Some said no, or wanted to check with parents first). The mastery tickets must be filled out and returned prior to the retake day on Friday Dec. 4th. If I do not have a mastery ticket, they cannot retake the test. Friday Dec. 4th is the final retake day for the Rocks and Minerals Test.
Word Study
Social Studies Update
TEST date change: The Historical Figures Unit test will be Tuesday, December 8, 2015 due to the number of student absences and incomplete classroom assignments. We have reviewed the material and most of the students know about the Historical Figures- Frederick Douglas, Susan B. Anthony, and Mary McLeod Bethune!! Please visit Mrs. Blanchard's eCLASS Page for additional information about Historical Figures.
Historical Figures Project information was sent home today. Please ask your child for the project information. The project is due December 14, 2015. Students will present their projects the week of December 14-18, 2015.

T. Rowe Price manages funds through retirement, while ING Investment Management manages to retirement. Meanwhile, firms adopting more conservative glide paths include Principal Financial Group, which has trimmed equity allocations for funds close to their target dates.
Companies like Fidelity and Putnam Investments are trying to soften the impact of stock volatility on target-date funds. Fidelity has been replacing stocks and conventional bonds with Treasury inflation-protected securities, commodities, floating-rate loans, emerging-markets debt and real-estate debt. Putnam's target-date portfolios will comprise 55 percent absolute return and 25 percent equities at their target dates, which is unusual for the industry.

Home > Healthy Living > Health Library > Shoulder SLAP Tear
A SLAP tear is a specific kind of injury to your shoulder.
To help make your shoulder more stable, there is a ring of firm tissue, called the labrum, around your shoulder socket. The labrum (say "LAY-brum") helps keep your arm bone in the shoulder socket.
SLAP stands for "superior labrum, anterior to posterior"—in other words, "the top part of the labrum, from the front to the back." It refers to the part of the labrum that is injured, or torn, in a SLAP injury.
The labrum frays or tears because of an injury. You may get a SLAP tear if you:
This injury was first identified in the 1980s in athletes, like baseball players, whose sport requires them to do a lot of overhead throwing.
Many people with SLAP tears also have other shoulder injuries, such as a tear in the rotator cuff.
Symptoms of a SLAP tear may include:
A SLAP tear can be hard to identify, because there are so many other things that can cause shoulder pain and because SLAP tears are not common. Ways to diagnose a SLAP tear include:
The first step in treatment is to see whether pain medicine and rehabilitation (rehab) can take care of the problem.
NSAIDs, which are anti-inflammatory medicines, may help the pain. NSAIDs are available over the counter or by prescription. Ibuprofen (such as Advil or Motrin) and naproxen (such as Aleve) are commonly used NSAIDs.
You can also try using heat or ice on your shoulder for about 15 to 20 minutes at a time. If your shoulder is very painful, try using a sling for a few days to support your arm.
Rehab may include exercises to strengthen the rotator cuff muscles and to gently stretch the back of the shoulder. Your doctor or therapist will teach you to do the exercises and avoid pain, then the exercise program may be done at home.
For many people, surgery is the only thing that helps. With arthroscopic surgery, the doctor can get a close look at the injury and also do some repairs at the same time.
The shoulder is a complex joint, and there are a number of other problems that can cause pain there, such as:

Liverpool are reportedly in 'advanced talks' over a January move for Ryan Fraser, which could see Harry Wilson make his loan switch to Bournemouth permanent.
Fraser was one of the standout performers in the Premier League last season, attracting plenty of transfer speculation over the summer, particularly involving Arsenal.
The Scot produced 14 assists last campaign, second only to Eden Hazard, and there was talk of a £30m transfer fee for his potential suitors.
However, he stayed put at Bournemouth and has not yet recaptured the form of last season, providing two assists and scoring just once since the start of the campaign.
The 25-year-old's contract expires in the summer, though, and Liverpool are interested in doing a cut-price deal in January, with Bournemouth looking to cash in on the winger while they can.
Liverpool youngster Harry Wilson, 22, is currently on loan at the Cherries, impressing so far this season with four Premier League goals in 11 appearances.
Bournemouth are hoping that the Wales international can be part of any deal that would see Fraser move to Anfield.
'My understanding is Jurgen Klopp is lining up a surprise move for Ryan Fraser,' said talkSPORT's Alex Crook.
'He is out of contract next summer and that means effectively Bournemouth have to sell him in January.
'If you had sold him last summer you were talking about £20-25 million but now you are talking about the £10-15 million mark.'
Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe has been extremely impressed with Wilson since his arrival over the summer and will be very keen to keep hold of him for longer than this season.
'I think he's been hugely impressive,' Howe said of the winger. 'For us, there has been a lot of transition in our team.
'We are going to need those players to really step up quickly and Harry is one of those who really has done.
'He understands how we play. He has picked it up really quickly and full credit to him for that.'
Liverpool have an intensely busy festive period with nine games in December, including fixtures in the Champions League, Carabao Cup and Club World Cup.
This run of matches is flanked by Premier League games at Anfield on 30 November and 2 January, so there is really no respite for the Reds over the winter.
With injuries likely and fatigue guaranteed, Jurgen Klopp will be grateful for reinforcements in January and Fraser could be an ideal option to reinvigorate his forward line at the turn of 2020.

Good Feelings
Good feelings for others are like ointments that heal wounds and re-establish friendships and relationships. Good feelings are generated in the mind, are transmitted through your attitude and are reflected in your eyes and smile. Smiling opens the heart and a glance can make miracles happen.
Ego is one of those vices which some would class as 'good to have'; it allows one to be 'positioned' and 'noticed', and 'respected' even.
However the thing with ego, specifically subtle forms of ego, is that it sits you on a false seat. Then when the truth reveals itself, which it will, there will be realisation and pain. And also the shame of knowing that everyone but you always knew.
Unlike any other vice, ego cripples the intellect's ability to discern. Ego adopts a form based on a speciality - on whatever is good within the self - and so disguises itself in that. It attracts the soul and it deludes it so that it is difficult for the self to recognise that this is ego.
Like salt mixed in sugar, it is not obvious and not everyone would know. However the moment it is tasted and experienced the truth is revealed. Its character and taste cannot remain hidden and salt can never be sweet! Everyone will be able to taste it except you. For the self it is something that has to be realised.
Watch out for that attractive form of ego!
Imbibing Or Absorbing Spiritual Knowledge
The first step into experience, particularly the meditation experience, is knowledge. What does it mean to 'know'? Knowing involves four steps, which ultimately give the meditator the experience of realization:
The first step of knowing is information. With information, our intellect opens to new ideas and opinions.
The second step of knowing is knowledge, when we begin to reflect and think on the ideas and views that we have listened to. At this point, we often have to select only a few of the ideas we have heard, as it is not always possible to reflect (think) on all the information that is fed to us. In order to deepen our understanding, we reflect on the information and sometimes discuss our findings and thoughts with others.
The third step of knowing is when we move from thinking to doing, that is, from knowledge to wisdom. Wisdom is gained when we commit ourselves to 'doing'. Knowledge translated into our everyday behaviour is called wisdom, which, in turn, is called quality life. A life of quality is where personal values are not only realised but also lived and experienced through our practical actions.
Doing, or practice, naturally brings us to the fourth and final step of knowing, which is called truth.
Soul Sustenance
Stepping Inside …
One aspect of meditation is that it teaches us to face life from the inside.
It takes us to that point of stillness where we find the strength to change and heal the inner self. In that silence, we are able to find perspective and insight. In a deep state of introspection, we clearly observe our thoughts, seeing our true motives and intentions behind our words and actions; when we understand that our intentions are perhaps not quite right, then we are in a position to say to ourselves, 'Hold on a minute!' When we use silence to check our thoughts at that level, then we begin to realize that many of the things we are thinking about are not really worth thinking about. At this point, we become spiritually economical, which in fact leads us to becoming very generous. A lot of precious energy is lost, both mentally and emotionally, on wasteful and negative thinking. Ninety-five percent of our time is wasted on thinking about others; we go on and on with a string of expectations from others, which becomes like a hammer of demand on other people's heads. Take a combination of expectations and demand, and what does it equal? Conflict!
When we learn to become silent and to reflect on our inner self, we start feeling satisfied with what we find inside, expectations from others gradually come down and there is a deep sense of contentment.
(To be continued tomorrow …)
Message for the day
The one who is a special flower keeps spreading the fragrance of virtues.
Projection: Being in situations that are not always positive it seems very difficult for us to be positive. As is our environment and the situations, we find, so are our own responses, too. That is, we find ourselves reacting negatively in a negative situation and positively in a positive situation.
Solution: We need to remind ourselves that we are a special flower with our own specialities. The more we remind ouselves of these specialities, the more we are able to spread the sweetness of this fragrance to all - whatever the situations may be.
Your Divine Friend

To obtain one total experience, the brain integrates the different operations carried out by the right and left cerebral hemispheres. (Restak, Richard, MD. Mozart's Brain and the Fighter Pilot. p 71-73.NY: Harmony Books, 2001.)
Right-brained or left-brained thinking (so called) is actually a fluctuation on a continuum between two extremes: Left linear, analytical sequential thinking; versus Right holistic, global, and simultaneous thinking. (Healy, Jane M., PhD. Endangered Minds. p 124-126. NY: Simon & Schuster, 1990.)
Cross-over exercises: Movement activities provide opportunities to cross the body's mid-line. Doing so requires left and right hemispheres to communicate across the corpus callosum. This hemispheric integration is essential to the ability to read and write. (Pica, Rae. 10 Reasons to Promote Emergent Literacy through Movement & Active Learning.
The two hemispheres are somewhat distinct in structure, neurochemistry, and processing. There is a great deal of laterality. (Siegel, Daniel J., MD. The Developing Mind. p 177-180. NY: The Guilford Press, 1999.)
The hemispheres are interdependent. Brain Scans: Left processes grammar and pronunciation; right processes intonation. (On the Brain,newsletter.www.PositScience.com. p 2-3. CA:2005.)
There are asymmetries between the hemispheres (e.g., Broca's area and Wernicke's areas in the left hemisphere). (Marcus, Gary, PhD. The Birth of the Mind. p 130-131. NY: Basic Books, 2004.)
In most people, the left and right hemispheres tend to dominate in different cognitive functions, just as people engage the world differently with their left and right hands. (Fields, R. Douglas, PhD. The Other Brain. p 4-5. NY: Simon & Schuster, 2009.
The hemispheres remain in balance when encountering images of positive or emotionally neutral scenes. The balance of activity shifts toward the right hemisphere when the image is one of horror, carnage, suffering, death, or injury—and it can become overwhelmed and dysfunctional. Watching images of disaster has a more powerful effect on one's mental stability than reading about the disaster. (Restak, Richard, MD. The New Brain. p 71-74. PA: Rodale, 2003.)
Typically there is instant communication between hemispheres, although each perceives events and records information independently. This provides an illusion of unity. Déjà vu may result when there is a brief delay in transmission of information. (Bragdon, Allen D., and David Gamon, PhD. Brains that Work a Little Bit Differently. p 52-56. NY Barnes and Noble Books, 2000.)
Many imaging studies may show only small real hemispheric asymmetries in function because the brain has a tendency to show symmetrical increases in activity even though the task is really initiated by one side much more than the other. (Springer, Sally p., and Georg Deutsch. Left Brain, Right Brain. p 72-73. NY: W.H. Freeman and Co., 1997.)
Imagine that you have a gray glove on your left hand and a white one on the right. There are, in fact, slight differences in color between the two cerebral hemispheres. The left side has more gray matter; the right more white (contains more myelination since it houses the essential intuitive, feeling, reactive skills). (Wonder, Jacquelyn, and Priscilla Donovan. Whole Brain Thinking. p 6. NY: Ballantine Books, 1984.)
At any given time there will be more activity in one hemisphere compared to the other. (Jensen, Eric. Brain-Based Learning (Revised). p 21. CA: The Brain Store, 2005.)
Speaking effectively requires a fine balance between the left and right hemispheres. Speakers who hold your attention usually shift from side to side, alternating between precise, logical speech in rapid crisp style, and some personal comment, a joke, or a dramatic experience in an animated expressive style. (Wonder, Jacquelyn, and Priscilla Donovan. Whole Brain Thinking. p 166. NY: Ballantine Books, 1984.)
The two hemispheres really do have quite specific skills that are hard-wired to the extent that, in normal circumstances, certain skills will always develop on a particular side. Almost every mental function you can think of is fully or partly lateralized. (Carter, Rita, Ed. Mapping the Mind. p 35-38. University of California Press, 1998.)
We still do not properly understand why the brain divides tasks in the way we observe in most people. (Greenfield, Susan, Con. Ed. Brain Power, Working out the Human Mind. p 53. The Ivy Press Limited, 1999.)
Hitchcock's surprising and usually humorous endings rely heavily on leading the viewer through the logical, left-brain facts of the situation and then suddenly revealing the paradoxical, right-brain side of the story. (Wonder, Jacquelyn, and Prescilla Donovan. Whole Brain Thinking. p 106. NY: Ballentine Books, 1984.)
Under acute stress, the two hemispheres of the brain become disconnected. Laughter improves creativity and problem-solving, and activates the limbic system in the brain, connecting the right and left sides. It helps you do more whole brain work. (O'Donnell, Sinara Stull. Laugh More at Work To Ease Office Stress.
Laughter stimulates both sides of the brain to enhance learning. It eases muscle tension and psychological stress, which keeps the brain alert and allows people to retain more information. (Humor and Laughter: Health Benefits and Online Sources.)
Refer to Cerebral Hemispheres (under Brain Function) for additional information.

Gig Buddies is not just fun – it's serious fun, read why…
11 May 2018
Gig Buddies Brighton have been working with Research in Practice for Adults to find out what difference their Gig Buddies project has been making to the lives of people with learning disabilities and we wanted to share the key findings with you, because we're very proud of them!
Through interviewing buddies we have found that:
90% of participants said they enjoyed having a Gig Buddy.
86% or participants said they see their Gig Buddy as their friend.
76% said they're more aware of other ways they can now spend their spare time.
79% said they now go out more in the evenings as a result of Gig Buddies (not just with their buddy).
78% said they'd made new friends in addition to their Gig Buddy volunteer.
90% said that having a Gig Buddy makes them feel less lonely.
We're delighted with these results, but of course we'll be working hard to make sure that even more people get to enjoy having a Gig Buddy and we'll be sharing more about our plans to make that happen soon.
There are no comments to display.

In Hawthorne, CA, a former Leuzinger High School coach stopped a burglar in his home. . .by shooting at him:
Read more of the story here:
A 90-year-old retired Leuzinger High School football coach fired a gunshot into a wall and held an intruder for police early Wednesday, minutes after he awakened to find the man in his Hawthorne home.
Jim Chadwick, who coached at the Lawndale high school from 1951 to 1960, said it was the first time in 40 years he ever had to pull out and load his .38 Special handgun.
That's part of the good news. Thankfully, law abiding residents of the South Bay do not have to routinely rely on their own guns to keep themselves safe. Crime is relatively low, and the murder rate falls in the negative range.
"He sat up on the end of the bed and he moved toward me," Chadwick said. "I said, 'Don't move, I'm going to fire.' So I fired into the wall just to let him know the gun was loaded. He sat back."
It wasn't clear why the intruder entered Chadwick's house near Richard Henry Dana Middle School. He didn't appear to be taking anything. Instead, the intruder laid down on a bed and might have been drifting off to sleep.
Chadwick said he awakened about 3 a.m. and noticed a figure in his bedroom. The figure moved into a lighted hallway near his 89-year-old wife's bedroom so he quickly got out of bed, opened his gun chest and loaded the gun.
He then held the man at gunpoint until police arrived, but chose not to shoot him.
"A human life is worth too much to just go shooting someone," Chadwick said.
This statement deserves considerable respect. Many pro gun control activists like to argue that gun owners have no respect or regard for life. The argument also continues that possession of a firearm carries too many fraught conseuences. Chadwick is 90 years old and demonstrated considerable caution and regard with this gun.
The man apparently had entered the house through an unlocked sliding door. It was not clear that his intention was burglary. He might simply have been looking for a place to sleep.
"That's what went through my mind," Chadwick said. "He might be one of the homeless near Costco. He left a pair of shoes in my bedroom and they were all wet. So it could be very possible he was homeless and came in to sleep. The police officer said he could have been drinking."
Chadwick, who uses a walker most of the time, somehow got out of bed, loaded his gun in the dark, and walked without the walker during the confrontation. He did not use it when he walked outside to speak to the police.
President Obama issued a series of executive orders on gun ownership, which included items to targeted the elderly. Accounts like this one prove that everyone has a right to keep and bear arms, regardless of their age.

In Redondo Beach, a resident protected his property with a firearm, and stopped a burglar:
A Redondo Beach homeowner who discovered a burglar stealing his motorcycle from his garage shot him in the leg when he confronted the thief, police said Wednesday.
The resident then chased the man and held him for police.
The confrontation occurred about 3 a.m. Tuesday in the 2000 block of Nelson Avenue. Police said the unidentified resident learned someone was inside his garage. He armed himself with a handgun and confronted the alleged burglar, who was pushing his motorcycle from the house.
"The homeowner attempted to detain Laurencio Gamboa Jr. at the garage, and a shooting occurred," Redondo Beach police Sgt. Shawn Freeman said.
The resident fired once, hitting Gamboa, 33, of Redondo Beach in the leg. Gamboa turned and ran, but the homeowner chased him and detained him until officers arrived, Freeman said.
Gamboa was treated at a hospital for his wound and booked at the Redondo Beach jail on suspicion of burglary and vehicle theft. He was held on $50,000 bail.
The homeowner was not hurt.
Detectives plan to submit their reports on the shooting Thursday to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office for review.
Gamboa is expected to appear in Torrance court Thursday.
The Second Amendment is not about deer. It's not about collecting and shooting. It's about protection it's about safety.
And most importantly, liberty.

The Mancos Spring Hoedown came back to town Saturday night after a year off.
Hundreds of people showed up to the Mancos Opera House to line dance, listen to the Six Dollar String Band and Afrobeatniks, eat tacos from Four Dope Gringos, and take part in a live auction.
"The community really wanted this back again," said Erin Kuhlman, assistant director of the School to Farm Project.
The annual event supports the Montezuma School to Farm Project, a nonprofit that offers hands-on gardening classes to schools throughout Montezuma County. This year marks the 10th anniversary for the nonprofit.
This was the last event at the opera house for a few months, as it will soon be undergoing restorations and construction. It will open once more in September for the Mancos Valley River Film Festival.
