Powerful Sleep Program
Understanding Sleep Problems -- The Basics
During normal sleep, you cyclethrough REM and four stages ofnon-REM (NREM) sleepnumerous times a night. Stage 1of NREM sleep is the lightest,while stage 4 is the deepest.
When you're repeatedlyinterrupted and can't cycle normally through these types and stages ofsleep, you may feel tired, fatigued, and have trouble concentrating andpaying attention while you're awake. Sleepiness puts you at greater riskfor car wrecks and other accidents.
What Are Sleep Disorders?
Circadian Rhythm Disorders
Typically, people sleep at night -- thanks not only to the conventions ofthe 9-to-5 workday, but also to the close interaction between our naturalsleep and alertness rhythms, which are driven by an internal "clock."
This clock is a small part of the brain called the suprachiasmatic nucleusof the hypothalamus. It sits just above the nerves leaving the back of oureyes. Light and exercise "reset" the clock and can move it forward orbackward. Abnormalities related to this clock are called circadian rhythmdisorders ("circa" means "about," and "dies" means "day").
Circadian rhythm disorders include jet lag, adjustments to shift work,delayed sleep phase syndrome (you fall asleep and wake up too late), andadvanced sleep phase syndrome (you fall asleep and wake up too early).
People who have insomnia don't feel as if they get enough sleep at night.They may have trouble falling asleep or may wake up frequently duringthe night or early in the morning. Insomnia is a problem if it affectsyour daytime activities. Insomnia has many possible causes, includingstress, anxiety, depression, poor sleep habits, circadian rhythm disorders(such as jet lag), and taking certain medications.
Many adults snore. The noise is produced when the air you inhale rattlesover the relaxed tissues of the throat. Snoring can be a problem simplybecause of the noise it causes. It may also be a marker of a more serioussleep problem called sleep apnea.
Sleep apnea occurs when the upper airway becomes completely orpartially blocked, interrupting regular breathing for short periods of time -- which then wakes you up. It can cause severe daytime sleepiness. If leftuntreated, severe sleep apnea may be associated with high bloodpressure and the risk of stroke and heart attack.

REM SLEEP BEHAVIOR DISORDER
For most people, dreaming is purely a "mental" activity: dreams occur in the mind while the body is at rest. But people who suffer from REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) act out their dreams. They physically move limbs or even get up and engage in activities associated with waking. Some engage in sleep talking, shouting, screaming, hittting or punching. Some even fly out of bed while sleeping! RBD is usually noticed when it causes danger to the sleeping person, their bed partner, or others they encounter. Sometimes ill effects such as injury to self or bed partner sustained while asleep trigger a diagnosis of RBD. The good news is that RBD can usually be treated successfully.
What we call "sleep" involves transitions between three different states: wakefulness, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, which is associated with dreaming, and non rapid eye movement (N-REM) sleep. There are a variety of characteristics that define each state, but to understand REM sleep behavior disorder it is important to know that it occurs during REM sleep. During this state, the electrical activity of the brain, as recorded by an electroencephalogram, looks similar to the electrical activity that occurs during waking. Although neurons in the brain during REM sleep are functioning much as they do during waking, REM sleep is also characterized by temporary muscle paralysis.
In some sleep disorders such as narcolepsy and parasomnias, like REM sleep behavior disorder, the distinctions between these different states breaks down; characteristics of one state carry over or "invade" the others. Sleep researchers believe that neurological "barriers" that separate the states don't function properly, though the cause of such occurrences is not entirely understood.
Thus, for most people, even when they are having vivid dreams in which they imagine they are active, their bodies are still. But, persons with RBD lack this muscle paralysis, which permits them to act out dramatic and/or violent dreams during the REM stage of sleep. Sometimes they begin by talking, twitching and jerking during dreaming for years before they fully act out their REM dreams.
In the course of "acting out their dreams," people with RBD move their arms and legs in bed or talk in their sleep, or they might start sleepwalking without waking or realizing they're dreaming. The only sensations the sleeper experiences are what is occurring in their dream. And many of these dreams can be violent or frightening, causing injury to the sleeper and his bed partner.
CAUSES & DIAGNOSIS OF REM SLEEP BEHAVIOR DISORDER
Studies of animals may explain REM sleep behavior disorder. Animals who have suffered lesions in the brain stem have exhibited symptoms similar to RBD. Cats with lesions affecting the part of the brain stem that involves the inhibition of locomotor activity will have motor activity during REM sleep: they will arch their backs, hiss and bare their teeth for no reason, while their brain waves register normal REM sleep.
REM behavior disorder underscores the importance of basic science research in animals," says Mahowald, "because without the information obtained in basic science animal research, the disorder could never have been identified. Sleep is such a young field that we have the opportunity to take advantage of the fact that there is a close collaboration between basic science and clinicians."
DIAGNOSIS OF REM SLEEP BEHAVIOR DISORDER
Because a number of parasomnias may be confused with RBD, it is necessary to conduct formal sleep studies performed at sleep centers that are experienced in evaluating parasomnias in order to establish a diagnosis. In RBD, a single night of extensive monitoring of sleep, brain, and muscle activity will almost always reveal the lack of muscle paralysis during REM sleep, and it will also eliminate other causes of parasomnias.
Sleep Aids That May Change Your Mind About "No Digital Devices in the Bedroom"
Some with sleep-onset insomnia find high-tech offerings such as Napflix and the "Sleep With Me" podcast ease the transition from wake to slumber.
By Rose Rimler
Technology is often seen as the enemy of sleep. In fact, one of the most common tips given people who suffer from insomnia— which is as many as 70 million Americans—is to remove digital devices from the bedroom. Sleep should be preceded by a wind-down routine, experts say, and watching or listening to phones, tablets, and TVs can interfere with that process. The stories they tell can be too stimulating, and the screens themselves emit melatonin secretion-disrupting blue light. Plus, using the bedroom for anything other than sleep and intimacy mars the association between bedtime and sleepiness, or so goes the standard advice.
But several high-tech sleep aids have popped up in the last few years that turn that advice upside down. Rather than banish devices from the bedroom, these services make use of them, offering sleep-oriented programming meant to help people turn off their own thoughts in order to get some rest.
Napflix, which launched in October, is one of these services. Created by two Spanish entrepreneurs, the streaming service promises to take the siesta to the "next level" by offering footage so boring the viewer can't help but drift off. Since boring is in the eye of the beholder, their collection includes a wide variety of videos: religious ceremonies, royal weddings, rainfall, cricket matches, and a recording of a model train set that goes on for almost an hour, among others. For a CNet reporter who tested the service, a televised curling match proved too exciting for sleeping purposes but a 45-minute video of a zen garden provided the perfect level of under-stimulation.
Although it sounds like a parody, Napflix is tapping into a market that even long-standing streaming services are trying to attract. In August, Netflix added a Norwegian-produced series called SlowTV. The first episode follows an uninterrupted train ride from Bergen to Oslo, a journey that takes over 7 hours. Subsequent episodes feature hours of knitting, log burning, and salmon fishing. Amazon Prime offers the Window Channel, which mimics the experience of looking out the window in a series of beautiful places around the world.
Are these simply newer versions of the white noise machines that have been around for decades? Perhaps. But a story-telling podcast that launched in 2013 might be the most original new sleep aid—or "sleep offering," as its creator prefers—on the scene.
Each episode of Andrew Ackerman's "Sleep With Me" features Ackerman telling long, fanciful, meandering bedtime stories for adults. To record the podcast, Ackerman slips into an alter-ego he calls "Dearest Scooter." Scooter's voice is low and mumbly, almost as if he himself is about to fall asleep.
The stories he tells are odd. In a recent episode, he explored the adventures of an armrest salesman and contemplated a Play-Doh fusion restaurant. In another, he played a space-traveling nun who waxed on about Scooter's inability to command a spaceship. (That episode is part of a series that has gone on for 14 installments.)
The stories are a hit: each episode is downloaded about 100,000 times and the podcast is typically among the top 100 most popular on iTunes, sometimes breaking into the top 50. Listener-reviewers rave that the show has saved them from sleepless nights, many noting that they rarely know how any of Scooter's stories end. By the end of the episode—which usually lasts just over an hour—they have fallen asleep.
Ackerman says that the trick to telling a good bedtime story is to find just the right level of boring. "I don't want it to be total nonsense but I like to go on these long tangents so people's common sense says, 'Oh I don't really need to be paying attention to this guy,'" he says.
Listening to Scooter's flights of fancy can feel like tuning in to someone else's dream. But each episode is put together with a lot of thought. He's learned to avoid topics that rouse people. You won't find any violence or political discussion in Scooter's stories, and he has learned not to mention snakes or spiders. Through trial and error, Ackerman crafts stories that he says hit a soothing sweet spot for most of his listeners. And if a certain episode doesn't cut it for someone, there are plenty of others to try—Ackerman releases about three episodes per week, and there are at least 300 in the archives.
Emerson Wickwire, PhD, director of the insomnia program at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and member of Sleep Review's editorial advisory board, says services like Sleep With Me and Napflix work by facilitating the wind-down period that people need to shift from awake to asleep.
"Of the applications I have seen, they are better than reading email, for sure. And, they are inexpensive and easy-access. But in the long run, they are not nearly as effective as the kind of personalized wind-down rituals that can really help patients achieve the sleep they need and rest they deserve," he says.
For his part, Ackerman resists the idea that his podcast is meant to lure people into sleep. Instead, he thinks of it as a form of digital companionship, a friend who sits with you in the dark of night, whether you're awake or asleep.
"Everyone who's struggling to fall asleep is not just struggling with the sleep hygiene side but is struggling with the human being side too," says Ackerman, who adds that some of his listeners deal with chronic pain.
"People are telling themselves stories anyway. 'Oh, this pain's going to keep me up and I'm never going to fall asleep and I'm going to have a terrible day tomorrow,'" Ackerhman says. The podcast gently replaces that story with a different one. It's also something to look forward to at night, he says, easing the dread that many people feel around bedtime.
Whether digital sleep aids like Sleep With Me or Napflix are tools that sleep experts feel comfortable recommending, there's no question that many who suffer from insomnia are using them.
Wickwire thinks that no one should feel guilty about finding a way to get the sleep they need. "In general, my approach is 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it,'" he says. But there may be some patients for whom these unconventional solutions are not enough.
Wickwire says, "[I]f a patient is reading about sleep or in my office, chances are something isn't working as well as it could. At that point, I'd ask 'Why?'"
OTC Sleep Aids Expected to Grow More Quickly Than Prescription Sleep Aids
The United States insomnia pharmacological treatment market is projected to reach $4.24 billion by 2021 from $3.38 billion in 2016, growing at a CAGR [compound annual growth rate] of 4.6% from 2016 to 2021. This is according to Research and Markets' report "U.S. Insomnia Market – Forecasts to 2021."
In 2016, the prescription sleep aids segment is expected to account for the largest share of the United States insomnia pharmacological treatment market. The launch of Belsomra (Merck & Co Inc) in 2014 in the United States and the anticipated launch of E-2006 (Eisai Co Ltd) is expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast years. However, due to the erosion in branded drugs sales and growing adoption of generics attributed to their low cost and equal efficacy as compared to branded products may hinder the growth of the market. In 2016, the zolpidem segment is expected to account for the largest share of the non-benzodaizepines prescription sleep aids market. However, higher adoption of generic products that are available are cheaper price is negatively affecting the growth of the market.
The over-the-counter (OTC) sleep aids segment of the United States insomnia pharmacological treatment market is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Reasons attributing to the growth of this market include easier availability, low prices, and publicity regarding the side effects of the prescription sleep aids has also steered the patients towards OTC sleep aid.

Why Do We Need Sleep?
We tend to think of sleep as a time when the mind and body shut down. But this is not the case; sleep is an active period in which a lot of important processing, restoration, and strengthening occurs. Exactly how this happens and why our bodies are programmed for such a long period of slumber is still somewhat of a mystery. But scientists do understand some of sleep's critical functions, and the reasons we need it for optimal health and wellbeing.
One of the vital roles of sleep is to help us solidify and consolidate memories. As we go about our day, our brains take in an incredible amount of information. Rather than being directly logged and recorded, however, these facts and experiences first need to be processed and stored; and many of these steps happen while we sleep. Overnight, bits and pieces of information are transferred from more tentative, short-term memory to stronger, long-term memory—a process called "consolidation." Researchers have also shown that after people sleep, they tend to retain information and perform better on memory tasks. Our bodies all require long periods of sleep in order to restore and rejuvenate, to grow muscle, repair tissue, and synthesize hormones.
How Much Sleep Do We Really Need?
Healthy sleep is critical for everyone since we all need to retain information and learn skills to thrive in life. But this is likely part of the reason children—who acquire language, social, and motor skills at a breathtaking pace throughout their development—need more sleep than adults. While adults need 7-9 hours of sleep per night, one-year-olds need roughly 11 to 14 hours, school-age children between 9 and 11, and teenagers between 8 and 10.During these critical periods of growth and learning, younger people need a heavy dose of slumber for optimal development and alertness.
Unfortunately, a person can't just accumulate sleep deprivation and then log many hours of sleep to make up for it (although paying back "sleep debt" is always a good idea if you're sleep deprived). The best sleep habits are consistent, healthy routines that allow all of us, regardless of our age, to meet our sleep needs every night, and keep on top of life's challenges every day.

Snoring solutions
Simple changes can help to turn down the volume.
If your wife or sleep partner often seems bleary-eyed and resentful in the morning, you may be one of the millions of adults who snore habitually—a condition that affects twice as many men as women. Snoring occurs when your upper airways narrow too much, causing turbulent airflow. This, in turn, makes the surrounding tissues vibrate, producing noise.
"Snoring is a sign that there is a really narrowed space," says Dr. Sanjay Patel, a sleep disorder specialist at Harvard-affiliated Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. "That happens either in your nasal passages or in the back of your throat." Some men are scorers because they have excess throat and nasal tissue. Others have floppy tissue that's more likely to vibrate. The tongue can also get in the way of smooth breathing.
Once the source of the snoring is identified, you can take appropriate steps to dampen the nightly din. These include not drinking alcohol at night, changing sleep position, avoiding snore-inducing medications, and addressing causes of nasal congestion.
How to alleviate snoring
Here are some factors that contribute to snoring and what you can do to alleviate them.
Alcohol. Alcohol, a muscle relaxant, can slacken the tissues of your throat while you sleep. "We see this all the time," Dr. Patel says. "Spouses say the snoring is tolerable except for the nights when their partner has had a couple of beers."
Body weight. Extra fat tissue in the neck and throat can narrow the airways. Losing some weight could help to open the airways if the person is overweight or obese, although many people who are lean also snore.
Medications. Medications that relax muscles can make snoring worse. For example, tranquilizers such as lorazepam (Ativan) and diazepam (Valium) can have this effect. In contrast, antihistamines may actually alleviate snoring by reducing nasal congestion.
Nasal congestion. Mucus constricts the nasal airways. Before bed, rinse stuffy sinuses with saline. If you have allergies, reduce dust mites and pet dander in your bedroom or use an allergy medication. If swollen nasal tissues are the problem, a humidifier or medication may reduce swelling.
Sleep position. When you lie on your back, slack tissues in the upper airways may droop and constrict breathing. Sleeping on your side may alleviate this. You can also try raising your torso with an extra pillow or by propping up the head of the bed a few inches.
Smoking. Men who snore are often advised not to smoke, but the evidence this will help is weak. Needless to say, there are already plenty of other good reasons to quit smoking.
Anti-snoring products
Many products claim to help with snoring, but few of them are backed by solid research. One potentially effective option is wearing an anti-snoring mouth appliance, which pulls the jaw (along with the tongue) slightly forward to open the upper airway. An appliance made by a dentist can cost around $1,000. Do-it-yourself kits cost much less, but may not be as well tailored to your mouth.
Nasal-dilating strips are inexpensive and harmless, and some small studies suggest they may help reduce snoring. You apply these adhesive strips across your nose at bedtime to help to open up the nasal passages. Breathe Right is one well-known brand, but there are many others available at relatively low cost.
If you are unsure what to do about snoring, a physician can advise you and also make sure your snoring is not related to an underlying sleep disturbance, common in men, called obstructive sleep apnea. "The louder the snoring, the more likely it is to be related to sleep apnea," Dr. Patel says. "Not all men who snore have sleep apnea, but if the snoring is frequent, loud, or bothersome, they should at least be evaluated."
Snoring surgery: Try conservative steps first
Try the more conservative steps described above before considering one of these outpatient surgical procedures to alleviate snoring.
LAUP. In laser-assisted uvulopalatoplasty, the physician uses a carbon dioxide laser to shorten the uvula (the hanging dongle of soft tissue in the back of the throat) and also make small cuts in the soft palate on either side of the uvula. As these nicks heal, the surrounding tissue stiffens.
Palatal implants. Also known as the Pillar procedure, this treatment involves implanting up to three matchstick-sized plastic stiffening rods into the soft palate. The rods help prevent collapse of the soft palate that can trigger snoring.
Somnoplasty. Also known as radiofrequency tissue volume reduction, somnoplasty uses radio waves to heat and shrink soft tissue that vibrates during snoring. It takes a few minutes to perform and doesn't cause bleeding, but it may have to be repeated to achieve results.

Anzoff is the one of persons who completes the structure of corporate strategies, especially diversification strategy.
He proposed four elements of strategy as below.
To clarify which area the company should enter based on company's products and services, and market demand.
To consider synergy effect when the company enter new areas.
When the company goes new areas, he said that the following matrix should be considered.
Market penetration strategy should be considered in terms of the following things.
Product development strategy should be considered in terms of the following points.
Particularly, in this strategy, it is important for the company to provide one-stop shopping in order for customers to get all related products once they start to trade with the company.
Market development strategy is to aim at another market by existing products, for example, to apply B2B business to B2C business or to expand existing products to further areas.
Diversification strategy consists of four patterns below.
This is to aim at similar customers, for example, to sell printers and scanners in addition to PCs.
This is to cover from upper side to lower side of supply chain, for example, an oil company to sell gas as a retailer.
This is to diversify toward new market by connecting existing products and new products, for example, beverage firm to sell chemical products.
This is diversify toward new market having no relationship to existing products, for example, apparel firm to sell chemical products.

Q: How to use Framesets in Ruby on Rails? This is actually further asking on a question I posted earlier. I am not sure how to include the path of the file you want to put in the src attribute.
 <FRAMESET ROWS="65%,35%" FRAMEBORDER='0' FRAMESPACING='0'>

   <FRAME NAME="DISP" SRC="<%= chat_window_path %>">

   <FRAME NAME="TEXT" SRC="<%= chat_window_path %>B">

 </FRAMESET>

I wrote the above, following the answers provided for that question. The action *chat_window* was added to my pages controller and the route was added as well. However, I am not sure how to replace *chat_window_path* with the actual action path. I tried some things, but nothing worked.

This paper explores how an alternative understanding of the development ofscientific knowledge through the work of Bruno Latour can help to bridge the gapbetween knowledge produced through practice-based research and conventionalresearch outputs.The paper reviews the history of the debate of what constitutes practice-basedresearch outputs drawing from the work of Frayling (1993) and Archer (1995). Anunderstanding of practice-based research is developed that goes beyond a simplisticview of a building or artefact as a research output or "mute object" (Till 2012).This is considered in the context of the work of Bruno Latour (1987, 2005) and otherswho have tried to show how the construction of scientific facts is produced as afunction of both the 'objects' and 'social' context of science.Through reviewing practice-based research submissions from RAE 2008 the paperexplores how we may re-conceive both the normative models of research outputs(peer reviewed academic papers) and the products of architecture practice (buildingsand artefacts) and conceive them both as part of the same network of knowledgeproduction. This is then discussed in the practical context of a practice-based research project into low energy housing.In doing so the paper suggest this new understanding will elevate the importance ofrigorous practice-based research while overcoming the challenges faced inconventional research in the constant desire to show impact from research projects.

The Making of a Ham: Why HF?
So, what is the benefit of HF? Let me first start with what Very High Frequency (VHF) is, and the explain how it is different than HF.
VHF defined as any wavelength from 1-10m. For Ham Bands, it covers 1.25, 2, and 6 meters. It works great for talking within, say, a metropolitan sized area, roughly 40 miles away from your current point (Depending on geography, power, antenna, etc.) Typically, line of site is the key distinguisher, you aren't going to be able to talk much further than the ground level around you. In other words, if you are in a valley, your range will be limited, if you are elevated, you should be able to get through easier and further distances. I've proven this myself, on top of a mountain range, I was able to talk as far as 70 miles away with no issues, however in a city, even 30 miles proved difficult.
So, how is HF different? The main thing is, HF signals actually bounce off of the atmosphere, high up in the ionosphere. That allows communication to happen for a long ways away. If you get a multiple bounce signal, you can actually talk across the world. In a day and age where the internet allows for this fairly easily, remember that Hams have been calling across the world for nothing more than the cost of electricity and equipment for over 70 years! In fact, Hams discovered that this was possible!
So, it's not unlikely that one could have a conversation with someone in Alaska, then California, then Germany, and then off to the Middle East! All done completely through radio waves, no need to connect up to the internet, or really even to have AC power.
What are the downsides to HF? There are three big ones that I know of. The first is that it requires an advanced license. As is seen by the ARRL band privileged chart, Technicians only have a small space available for voice communications, 28.3-28.5 MHz, from the 10m band. In addition, they can transmit via CW on several other bands. The technician license is much less technical than the General and Amateur Extra, and requires much more studying.
Secondly, HF antennas are larger, as the wavelengths are larger. It was quite easy to fit a 2m j-pole in my attic. I don't think I could fit a 10m one, let alone a 20m or larger! Still, there are alternatives, and what I hope to use is something that can be placed flat in my attic.
Lastly, the transceivers cost a lot more. I could by a nice dual band transceiver for around $300, an HF rig starts at $550, and possibly even a lot higher. Take a look at my post detailing some of the "starter" HF radios.
Bottom line is, HF involves more time, space, and money, but ultimately will allow you to talk across the world. I think that is an amazing ability, and I can't wait to try it out!

Progressive culture since 1954
By Ben Eltham
When Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull gave a media conference at Holsworthy army base yesterday, the imagery was stark – a presentation draped in the trappings of militarism. Backed by the Chief of the Defence Force, Turnbull stood with masked and armed special forces soldiers from the 2nd Commando Regiment behind him. Just to underline matters, there was also a rather fearsome gunboat mounting a .50-calibre machine gun.
And you thought Tony Abbott liked to pose.
Ostensibly, Turnbull was announcing new counter-terrorism measures. The government will expand the cooperation between the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and domestic police agencies. There will be more training for police units from the army, and 'more cooperation'.
Special forces soldiers will be allowed to go on 'placements' with police counter-terrorism units. The Defence Act will also be amended, allowing the states and territories to ask for help from the ADF more easily.
The new measures are the result of a review of the role of the ADF in domestic counter-terrorism. In part, they stem from the well-publicised failures of the New South Wales Police during the Lindt café siege in Sydney in 2014, where the ADF's Tactical Assault Group was put on stand-by during the siege, but not 'called out' to assist by the New South Wales government.
Whether the ADF would have handled the Lindt cafe siege better than the New South Police did is a hypothetical question, but it has clearly spurred the government to tighten up the relationship between the states and territories and the Defence Force.
An expanded role for the special forces is not the only change in domestic security that the government is considering. Today the cabinet is meeting to consider whether to create a new 'super-department' along the lines of the British Home Office or the US Department of Homeland Security. The new portfolio would merge the Immigration department – already boasting its own paramilitary in the form of the Australian Border Force – with the Australian Federal Police and spy agency ASIO.
And Minister for Immigration and Border Protection Peter Dutton is the man who will oversee the new department.
Exactly why such a new portfolio is needed has not been explained by the government. The current arrangements seem to be working well enough, with cross-agency collaboration a feature of current government policy across many portfolios. Overseas spy agency ASIS sits inside Foreign Affairs, for instance, while domestic intelligence service ASIO currently resides in the Attorney-General's Department. That doesn't seem to stop the two agencies from cooperating where necessary, and from providing intelligence to other bodies like the ADF and the cabinet.
To take another example, the government's vaunted boat turn-back policy, named Operation Sovereign Borders, is already a highly cooperative operation, structured as a 'joint agency taskforce' bringing in elements of the Navy, Federal Police, the Border Force and the Immigration department. Perhaps this is the model the government is considering. But if Operation Sovereign Border is already a joint success, what difference will a new minister make?
It is true, of course, that portfolio responsibilities change all the time. As anyone who's ever worked in the public service can tell you, the constant churn of portfolios and responsibilities is a fact of life. Smaller agencies often find themselves shunted between various departments in a disruptive and often wasteful process known colloquially inside of the public service as MoG (short for 'machinery of government').
Sometimes the change is desultory – the old agency continues with a new big boss and a new logo and letterhead. But it can also create confusion and even chaos, as 'silos' are dynamited and middle managers are transferred or sacked. As the reshuffle comes into effect, units and sections must fight for a place in the new structure. Crippling turf wars can break out.
Intelligent observers, such as the ANU's John Blaxland, tend to agree. 'I have yet to see any compelling evidence that what we have is not working, or that there is a compellingly better option out there,' Blaxland told the ABC this morning. 'Let's just hasten slowly on this idea,' he went on.
But it may be too late for that: the prime minister appears to have green-lit the changes this morning.
Now is the time for some pointed questions about what sort of powers the new 'home minister' will enjoy. As immigration minister, Peter Dutton already possesses wide and largely unfettered powers over asylum seekers and migrants under the Migration Act.
Adding the domestic spy agency and the federal police to his responsibilities creates even more opportunities for the arbitrary exercise of Commonwealth power.
As the minister responsible for ASIO, Dutton will be able to read pretty much every Australian's phone and email metadata. As the minister in charge of the federal police, he gains responsibility for a force of 3,400 sworn police officers and the bulk of the Commonwealth's counterterrorism investigations. As the minister in charge of immigration, Dutton will control citizenship, migration and who is let in and out of the country.
You don't need to be paranoid to see the potential for abuse. There is a worrying concentration of power here. An ambitious and ruthless home minister will have all the resources required to suppress democracy and free expression, should he choose to: a spy agency, a police force, the border guards and a paramilitary.
Such abuses may not seem likely in twenty-first-century Australia, but they are certainly not inconceivable. The federal police have already accessed Guardian journalist Paul Farrell's email data in an attempt to hunt down his sources … without a warrant. The Immigration Department has unlawfully detained Australian citizens on Christmas Island.
Australia is not currently an unfree society. But we have put in place a system of widespread government surveillance, and we have legislated away many of the rights of non-citizens, such as those interned on Manus Island and Nauru. Further concentrating power in the hands of a single minister is another slide down an already slippery slope.

Failing Productively: A Crash Course
by Jessica Hamlin | Dec 17, 2013
Production still from the Art in the Twenty-First Century Season 6 episode, "History," 2012. © Art21, Inc. 2012
"The path of least resistance and least trouble is a mental rut already made. It requires troublesome work to undertake the alteration of old beliefs." ―John Dewey1
"The muse of invention doesn't exist; you just have to work. It's a job, and you just have to come. For me, usually, it happens at the last minute of the last hour: I'm utterly exhausted, and I thought it was a wasted day, and then something happens." —Arturo Herrera2
How can we help students fail productively?
Failure is a bad word in education. It means we didn't pass the test. It means our teachers are sub-standard. It means our percentages are below national and international passing rates. And the litany goes on. But in most creative contexts, failure is essential. It is a central aspect of creating anything worthwhile, rethinking old assumptions, or critiquing social or institutional norms. In any field, failure fosters new possibilities: the solution we didn't know was possible, the idea born of a paradigm shift, the singular and original statement. To the artist we often ascribe the audacity and bravery of someone who is either bound to fail or bound for ultimate glory. Failure is always seen as an either/or scenario rather than a constant underlying force. Many artists talk about the role of failure as a productive force in their work. Art21 artist Glenn Ligon describes how he started making his iconic stencil-letter paintings: It was supposed to be neat; the oil stick was supposed to stay inside the lines, but it didn't. And it took him six months to realize that this failure was actually more interesting than the original idea.
Arturo Herrera describes failure as swimming (productively) with sharks: "When dealing with new works or new techniques, it's bound to fail. But it is necessary. It is essential for me to go into this state. It's like swimming in water full of sharks. Just go with it."3
The space to experiment, fail, try again, rethink an idea, perhaps throw it out, start over, and then do it all over again, over a long period of time, is an anathema in education. It exists in only the most rare schools and classrooms: those that value process over product, play and inquiry over facts and dates.
In popular education, learning is understood as being synonymous with difficulty, with pushing past your comfort zones and the things you already know or believe—that sticky and unsettling place when you, like Dorothy, leave Kansas—when you have to reorient your previous assumptions and common-sense notions.
Teaching students how to think, not just what to think, is becoming more common as a progressive educational mantra. But how do you do that? And how quickly can we turn around a system that is based on rights and wrongs, and successes and failures, in the strictest senses of those words? How do we reward experimentation, spontaneity, and risk taking? How can we help students see the infinite ways to solve a problem, to seek an answer, and to construct an opinion? As John Dewey told us long ago, we learn by doing, but we also learn by examples, many of them.
Following a screening of the film William Kentridge: Anything Is Possible at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Kentridge talked briefly about failure. "We could have a long discussion about the need for failure…a series of less-bad solutions. Some get reprocessed. Some get thrown out.
What would be interesting is having a room of failures."4 What would a room full of failures look like? Certainly Kentridge's failures would likely appear far less dismaying than those of many other artists. But what if we asked students to curate a room full of failures—to proudly array the detritus of their processes and to reflect on their intentions and implications—to connect the messiness of not knowing with finally coming to a point of knowing? To hold sight of process in the context of achievement—and to have a healthy understanding of how to pick yourself up and keep going, even after all the mistakes, missteps, and mishaps?
Well then, Toto, we would not be in Kansas anymore.

NGC 6762 (również NGC 6763, PGC 62757 lub UGC 11405) – galaktyka spiralna (S0-a), znajdująca się w gwiazdozbiorze Smoka. Jest to galaktyka z aktywnym jądrem typu LINER.

Odkrył ją Lewis A. Swift 30 sierpnia 1883 roku. Ponownie obserwował ją 30 kwietnia 1884 roku, lecz nie zorientował się, że to ten sam obiekt i skatalogował ją po raz drugi. John Dreyer w swoim New General Catalogue skatalogował obie obserwacje Swifta jako NGC 6763 (wcześniejsza) i NGC 6762.

So before I let you in on the review, I want to go into a detail about my hair history!
I used to go a whole week without washing my hair and then I turn 29, had two kids, diet changed and I died my hair (probably with something I shouldn't have in March of this year) so It's been every other day I have had to wash my hair because it had gotten greasy so bad. So bad to the point I got migraines from my head being greasy.
You can also sign up to be a Monat VIP. MONAT VIPs enjoy naturally based, amazing haircare products at 15% off, free shipping and a free product with all qualified Flexship orders and more! All for just $19.99 USD/$24.95 CAD and your commitment to a total of three qualifying Flexship orders.
I have been using Monat now for about 3 months. I started out using the Revive Shampoo, and when that didn't work within two weeks I switched to Monat Black. A complete 2 n 1 system that cleanses and conditions at the same time. Although this product was meant for men, I found a lot of women use it and love it! So after about a month, I noticed I still had some dandruff patches, but I found out that your hair is actually going through a detox. Have you heard of people who go through a sugar detox? Or when they give up smoking, or alcohol and their body has to go through a detox? Maybe not on the same level, but that's what your hair does.
Check this out. Men (and sometimes women as well, LIKE ME) may experience itchiness or flakiness due to years of styling products going on and building up on the scalp. Monat will dissolve that build-up and clean out the follicles.
REPEAT TWO more times but lesson the amount each time!
You may think that washing my hair three times in one shower session is crazy but it works!! I haven't used much more then I normally would, because it's not a lathering shampoo. I have been using this particular bottle for about 2 months and I still have about a handful more washes until I need a refill!
Now I like having my hair down once in awhile (like not love lol) but thank you Ayla, for introducing me to this product!
ALSO Speaking of the fragrances, I want to tell you about the smell of the Black Shampoo & Conditioner. It smells like Andes Mints!!
Monat as an array of products! Check them all out here.
Love, Christin did not receive any form of compensation for this giveaway. Once winner is selected via the Rafflecopter process, the product will be shipped. Winner has 48 hours to respond or another winner will be chosen. No other blog associated with this giveaway is responsible for the product shipment. Monat by Ayla will be providing the prize above to the winner. Thank You for stopping by! Any Questions or Concerns email me at christintheiss (at) Hotmail (dot) com.

Openflows does things differently than most technology companies, and that's why our clients choose to work with us.
We ask your input on your needs, and advise you as to the process and cost to create that function technically.
We are different because we focus on long term relationships rather than one-off projects. We strive to complete projects and not leave people in a lurch. We seek to work with you to find a balance between budget, timeline, scope, and order of priorities throughout the project and into the future.
Our methodology allows for a slower more encompassing approach. We do not build "websites," we build well thought out organizational systems based on a transparent and interactive process with the client. we move fast when we can and we slow down and let the client absorb what has been done. And in this way we allow the client to remain in control over the development of their software.
We ask our clients to realize that not only is every project unique, but in nearly all our projects — because we are building in such a client centric way — we are building something that has never been built before Therefore we ask our clients to understand that while we do our best to define labor estimates and project timelines that it is impossible for those estimates to be accurate in every case. We do our best to keep the client informed as soon as possible as changes to estimates or timelines become possible. As well, as the project moves along we're responding to your feedback as you use a software you've never had before and there are many times where the client's feedback changes the scope of the project. We do our best to respond to those changes with minimum disruption to the process but at times we ask the client to understand that these changes in focus and scope will often require revisiting labor estimates and timelines.
We use human language work agreement and not lawyerly contracts to make old fashioned agreements.
Our planning and discovery phase is separate from the development phase and billed as such. This allows us to engage with the client and do the necessary research so that we can give more accurate estimates based on the knowledge and insight that we gain. Those who give estimates without doing the proper research and discovery, end up doing this work and billing for it later in the process. We like to do it as a first step because it allows us to be transparent with the client, provide the client with choices based on our discoveries, and lets the client make decisions regarding project scope based on their priorities.
We implement both Planning Milestones and Development Milestones. Before development: what do you need?
After development: what does having this tool now change about your workflow and what you now need?
We prefer to start projects with a detailed and collaborative planing phase where the features, requirements and details of the project are defined. We have found that this methodology works better than trying to have us respond to a fully detailed RFP, where you try to imagine all possibilities before anything has been built. (see http://norfps.org/ for some interesting thoughts on why we feel organizations should move away from the RFP model).


I was fortunate to have joined Wyong Drama Group just in time for the first annual Theatrefest hosted at the Memorial Hall in 2004, and I well remember the thrill of that weekend. In addition to the contributions from WDG and Woy Woy Little Theatre, we had a bumper crop of visiting groups from as far away as Oberon, Sydney and Newcastle. The drama spread over the whole weekend and I was amazed at the variety of plays and the high standard of the performances. That weekend I met many new people who would soon be friends, and many more whose faces would become familiar as I was welcomed into the theatrical community of the Central Coast and beyond.
Since then Theatrefest has remained one of my favourite highlights of the theatrical year. It is a weekend to indulge in great entertainment, meet up with old friends and make new ones, enjoy the food provided by Apex 40, sample the wares of craft stalls and admire the work regularly exhibited by local artist Maxine Johnston. A full experience to say the least!
The drama itself has never failed to surprise and delight, and many have agreed that the selection we witnessed in this, the tenth anniversary year, was the best yet. Eleven plays were presented for the competition by local groups, independent producers, and visitors from Rylstone and Port Macquarie, including three unpublished works by aspiring playwrights, and the standard was consistently high throughout.
The weekend began on Friday evening with exhibition performances from the young students of XtractDramaAcademy. For several years now Xtract has been training, moulding and supporting aspiring young actors from around the area with classes for children in year 3 to year 11 age groups. The fruits of their labour have been rewarded as we have seen former students taking prominent places in local adult productions, some taking awards in this year's Theatrefest competition.
The Friday evening "Jump" performances offer an opportunity for the students to showcase what they have learned in the year, and this year's exhibition produced some of the best to date. There were good performances all round, well disciplined and rehearsed, with the children showing great composure and confidence on stage. Two names in particular to watch out for in future productions are Tallulah Cobban and Ryan Knowles, both of whom had great stage presence and physicality and who showed a mature understanding of stagecraft. The contribution of the Musical Theatre Class, a new feature this year, was particularly admired by festival adjudicator, Lyn Lee, for both the singing and choreography, and by a packed audience that almost overflowed the hall!
The competitive part of the festival took place on Saturday. There were three sessions, in the morning afternoon and evening, with up to four plays in each session. The advantage of a one act play festival is that it offers a variety of theatrical experience all in one day. There were experimental works such as Penny Dilworth's play about writer's block, where an author was harangued by his own characters, and more traditional plays, such as WDG's Laundry and Bourbon, which told the story of three women in small town America. There were plays by well known authors such as Alan Ayckbourn, and works such as Mr Owen's Providence, which earned Gavin Critchley the award for best unpublished play. There were sharp comedies like Border Productions' The Craft and powerful dramas such as WDG's On the Edge, which was Apex 40's favourite play this year.
Some productions were elaborate: WDG's In the Tank and Why Can't They Just Eat Flowers have both won awards for design, set and costume at this and other festivals this year. Others were simple but still effective: the entire set and props for On the Edge consisted of two milk crates. Throughout the day we were treated to a host of wonderful performances from seasoned actors such as Duncan Mitchell and Helen Herridge, who took the awards for best actor and actress, to promising newcomers like Tiffany Duncan and Scott Russell who respectively received the award for best supporting actress and the Adjudicator's Special Award.
The standard of the productions throughout the day was so high that adjudicator Lyn Lee admitted she lost sleep trying to decide who should receive this year's awards.The wealth of her experience as professional actress and director, and as NIDA teacher, was evident both in her commentaries during the competition, which she wisely kept her brief but encouraging, and in her presentations at the award ceremony on Sunday morning; her comments to the winners were both interesting and illuminating. She also took the time to give credit to the technical and stage crew whose important contribution over the weekend is often underestimated by audiences.
It was an emotional ceremony for many reasons. The 10th anniversary of this prestigious annual festival, which has been a focal showcase for our local talent and that of groups from all over NSW, is a milestone event, but it is also the last time the Memorial Hall will house the Central Coast Theatrefest. The hall is being demolished early next year as a first step toward the building of the proposed Wyong Performing Arts Centre. Councillor Doug Eaton is hopeful that this project will be completed within a few years, and assured the audience that every effort would be made to ensure Wyong Drama Group and Wyong Musical Theatre Company will be provided alternate venues in the interim. At this stage, however, it is unclear where next year's festival might take place.
It was also the end of an era for another reason as Wyong said a formal goodbye to two WDG veterans that have been an integral part of the festival since its inception, Barry and Millie Sampson, who will shortly be moving to Victoria. In addition to serving on the festival committee, Millie has directed a number of WDG's entries over the years and earned the group several awards in the process. Barry has served as stage manager and in other capacities as and when needed, and he also hand crafted each of the beautiful award trophies affectionately known as "Woscars". In recognition of their contribution to the festival over the years they received special awards: Millie for "most prolific Theatrefest director" and Barry "for services above and beyond". They'll be greatly missed by the members of Wyong Drama Group, but we wish them all the best for their new life in Victoria.
It remains to thank festival co-ordinator, Ruth Jordan, who has been the inspiration, organization and driving force behind Central Coast Theatrefest. The festival was Ruth's baby and has grown into a legacy of which she can be truly proud. Hopefully the Coast's talented upcoming generation will be inspired to continue the momentum Ruth began so we may look forward to the continuance of Theatrefest for many years to come.

Q: Move factory method from AppModule to AppComponent in Angular 7 I use ngx-translate-multi-http-loader loader to create specific translations. The documentation requires that this factory has to be created within the app.module.ts:
export function multiTranslateHttpLoaderFactory(http: HttpClient) {
  return new MultiTranslateHttpLoader(http, [
    {prefix: './assets/i18n/default/', suffix: '.json'},
    {prefix: './assets/i18n/bc/', suffix: '.json'}
  ]);
}

This factory is configured inside the import arrays in this way:
TranslateModule.forRoot({
  loader: {
    provide: TranslateLoader,
    useFactory: multiTranslateHttpLoaderFactory,
    deps: [HttpClient]
  }
}),

I need a way to put the factory into my app.component.ts, because I still have to program some logic and do not want to do that within my app.module.ts.
But if I move the method into my app.component.ts and make all the necessary import statements on top of the file, angular doesn't compile and returns this error message:

ERROR in src / app / app.module.ts (55,21): error TS2304: Can not find
  name 'multiTranslateHttpLoaderFactory'.

Is there a possibility or do I really have to define the factory within app.module.ts ???

A: It really should not matter where you define your factory, or any other function for that matter. Just be sure to import it correctly, somewhere in the top of app.module.ts
import {multiTranslateHttpLoaderFactory} from 'path/to/your/component'

The Newport news school was alerted before the teacher was shot by a child: lawyer
The 6-year-old boy who shot and wounded his teacher in Virginia earlier this month had repeatedly threatened other students earlier that day, but school administrators "paralyzed by apathy" refused to intervene, the teacher's attorney said Wednesday.
The bullet remains lodged in teacher Abigail Zwerner's chest, her lawyer said, and she awaits a lifetime of physical and psychological recovery. Zwerner, 25, filed a letter of intent on Wednesday to sue the Newport News School District for failing to respond to repeated threats reported Jan. 6, her attorney said.
"Abby Zwerner was shot in front of those horrified children and the school and community are living through the nightmare, all because the school board has not acted," said lawyer Diane Toscano. "This should never have happened. It was preventable. And thank God Abby's alive."

Lawyer claims school was warned three times
Toscano described the three warnings in a statement to reporters. According to the statement:
The boy had threatened to beat up another child around 11:15 that day.
Another teacher reported to administrators around 12:30 p.m. that she had searched the boy's bag because she heard he had a gun. She didn't find it, but suggested he might have put it in his pocket when he went to recess.
Another teacher reported to administrators that the student showed another child the gun and threatened to shoot him if he told.
"Abby and these other teachers were trying to do the right thing," Toscano said. "On that day, over the course of a few hours, three different times – three times – the school board was alerted by concerned teachers and employees that the boy had pointed a gun at him and was threatening people. But the administration could not be disturbed. "

What's next in the case?
Toscano said the school district's response will be closely watched by both her client and the wider community. She suggested that challenging the lawsuit would indicate that teachers are considered disposable.
"How can anyone find the courage to face a class of students with confidence again?" Tuscany said. "Since they can't turn back time and undo the bureaucracy's callousness, they can do the right thing and admit what went wrong and fix it and take care of Abby now."

According to police, the boy's mother legally bought the gun used in the shooting. The boy's family said in a statement last week that the weapon was "secure". The family's attorney, James Ellenson, told The The Bharat Express News he understood the gun was in the woman's closet on a shelf more than six feet high and had a trigger lock that required a key.
ALSO READ The media only celebrates masculinity when it's feminized, like "The Rock in a Tutu": Dr. Phil guest
The family also said in its statement that the boy has an "acute disability" and was covered by a care plan "where his mother or father went to school with him and accompanied him to class every day". The week of the shooting was the first time a parent was not in his class, the family said.
Superintendent George Parker III has said that at least one administrator was told on the day of the shooting that the boy may have had a weapon, but no weapon was found when his backpack was searched.
The Newport News school board will hold a special meeting Wednesday night to vote on a divorce settlement and severance pay for Parker, according to a posted agenda. The board will also vote on a new interim superintendent.

Q: Is $|\ln(1+t) - t| \leq t^2$ for $|t| \leq \frac{1}{2}$ obvious? In a textbook of probability and statistics there is a use of approximation by Taylor series that $\ln(1 + t) \doteq t$. It is stated that that the accuracy of the approximation is due to $|\ln(1+t) - t| \leq t^2$ for $|t| \leq \frac{1}{2}$.
While I am aware that $x$ is the first term of the Taylor series of $\ln(1+t)$, I am not sure, however, where $|\ln(1+t) - t| \leq t^2$ for $|t| \leq \frac{1}{2}$ comes from and whether it should be obvious that it holds.
Edit: Changed $t$ to $t^2$

A: With the edit, consider the function $f(t) = \ln(1+t)- t + t^2$ for $ t\in [-1/2,1/2]$. The minimum of this function must occur at a a boundary point or a point where $f'(t) = 0$. Note that $$f'(t) = \frac 1{1+t} - 1 + 2t = 0 \,\,\,\, \implies \,\,\,\, 2t^2 + t = 0  \,\,\,\, \implies \,\,\,\, t = 0,-1/2.$$ Checking the points $-1/2, 0, 1/2$ we find that $f$ has a minimum of $0$ at $t = 0$. Thus for all $t \in [-1/2,1/2]$, we have $$\ln(1+t) - t + t^2\ge 0 \,\,\, \implies \,\,\,\, t - \ln(1+t) \le t^2.$$ But $t - \ln(1+t) = \big \lvert \ln(1+t) - t \big \rvert$ so this proves the inequality.

A: Since $\log(1+t)<t$ for all $|t|<1/2$, we can consider the function
$$g(t)=t-\log(1+t)-t^2,$$
and observe that its derivative is
$$g'(t)=-\frac{t(1+2t)}{1+t}$$
and its second derivative is
$$g''(t)=-2+\frac{1}{(1+t)^2}$$
so the point $t=0$ is the only maximum in the interval $(-1/2,1/2)$, where the value is zero. The points $\pm 1/2$ can be checked separately, if desired. The conclusion is that $g(t)<0$ for all $|t|\leq 1/2$.

A: The second term of the Taylor expansion, which will dominate when you subtract away the $x$, is $-\frac12t^2$. When you're close enough to zero, the terms of higher degree will not be able to add up to another half of $t^2$. So it indeed "clear" that your inequality will hold in some neighborhood of $0$.
More computation is necessary to see that this neighborhood is at least $\frac12$ wide, though. (I suspect the error-bound versions of Taylor's theorem may be helpful there).

Westside Select Committee
CALWMC Selects Two-Plant Treatment Option; Will Work with Province in Planning Phase
Westside Solutions/
Victoria, BC– The Core Area Liquid Waste Management Committee (CALWMC) selected a two-plant treatment option as a base case to form a conditional amendment to the 2010 Liquid Waste Management Plan (LWMP).
The option selected as the base case consists of a two-plant system, with a treatment plant at Clover Point in Victoria, to be buried under the park, and a plant at McLoughlin Point or Macaulay Plains in Esquimalt. These sites will be referred to the respective councils to seek approval in principle prior to submitting an amendment to the 2010 plan. There are also provisions for a plant on the Westside to be phased in for future growth at a location to be determined in consultation with Westside communities.
"Is it a perfect way forward? No. But we've moved past the deadlock of 8-8 failed votes," said CALWMC Chair Helps, "today the committee found compromise and took key steps forward in displaying our commitment to delivering sewage treatment for the Core Area."
While the CRD continues the detailed planning work on the base case option, a parallel process will begin under which the CRD will invite the private sector to submit project concepts to evaluate against the option submitted as the conditional amendment. This allows the project to remain open to innovation and new concepts from the private sector while planning continues.
"We will encourage the private sector to bring forward solutions or alternatives that are innovative, cost effective, financially backed, proven and meet the regulations. This two-pronged approach allows us to move forward at the same time as ensuring maximum cost-effectiveness for the taxpayer," said CRD Board Chair Desjardins.
Prior to today's CALWMC meeting, CRD Board Chair and CALWMC Chair met with Provincial Environment Minister Mary Polak and Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Peter Fassbender, to discuss the direction of the project. The Province agreed to help facilitate a path forward to ensure sewage treatment occurs within the federal and provincial timelines. The Province is the regulatory body overseeing the LWMP and has committed to contributing up to $248 million to the project after it becomes operational.
"We want to thank the Province for their offer to facilitate and help in the next steps, where we canvas the private sector to look for cost effective solutions rather than conceptual estimates from engineers," said CRD Board Chair Desjardins.
Following today's meeting, the CRD will submit a conditional amendment to the LWMP. After working through the process of further soliciting for private sector innovation, the plan could be again updated.
Provincial support for a plan is required to be submitted to PPP Canada by March 31, 2016 as a condition to securing the PPP Canada portion of the federal funding grants.
Celebrating 50 years! The CRD delivers regional, sub-regional and local services to 13 municipalities and three electoral areas on southern Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands. Governed by a 24 member Board of Directors, the CRD works collaboratively with First Nations and all levels of government to enable sustainable growth, enhance community well-being, and develop cost-effective infrastructure while continuing to provide core services to residents throughout the region.

RED WAGON TUTORS
What PARENTS say:
"Terri Cohen has been tutoring my 10-year-old son for about five weeks now, and we've already seen a big difference. His fluency and comprehension in a very short time have improved markedly. Not only that, he enjoys being with her and likes her very much, which makes the whole process better for everybody. We look forward to seeing more progress as they continue to work together. Terri, thank you for everything!"
Cliff & Elenor Rubin, Hastings-on-Hudson, contact info upon request
"Terri is unique in that she draws upon her various experiences and multiple instructional disciplines to meet her students where they are and how they best learn. This forethought, planning and range of experience and tools at her disposal has made the difference in helping my child grow as a reader. With her help, he's progressed six reading levels in just four months, which has made a difference in his confidence level and success across multiple subject areas. We've been so pleased to have Terri on our child's educational team."
Abby, 917-596-4758
"In the past four years my son has been intellectually transformed by Terri Cohen's expert tutoring program. He started with her as a reluctant reader and within months had reached the reading milestones I had never thought possible.
The fine art of close reading is a difficult skill to master. I think some are lucky to have made this transition without help. But, my son could not have developed this ability without Terri's dedicated and professional attention. Week after week she addresses his speeding through a paragraph or skipping over words and concepts with a firm and consistent tone. He can be temperamental, evasive and distracted, as many boys, and yet, Terri, a career reading specialist, prevails. He has never not finished a session. She always sends me a detailed report about their work which allows me to keep focused on my very busy day without worrying about my child's progress....
Terri works with [my son] (as I wish others would) moment to moment, adjusting to his energy and attention level. She has also unearthed his penchant for fantasy and encouraged him to find the details, the specifics words to allow his imagination to take literary flight.
Our huge task this past year in fourth grade was learning how to write a five or more paragraph persuasive essay. She has been guiding him along on this arduous, sometimes painful road with the dedication of one who is called to care and be of service.
But time is of the essence, and when a gifted master teacher like Terri Cohen walks into your life, gratitude fills the cisterns anxiety has created. She has lovingly brought her years of education and experience to our son's language arts proficiency with wholistic sophistication. Each moment they share is guided by a genius intuition from which only the masters are operating.
Master teacher/ tutor Terri Cohen is a game changer for any child who must learn to read and write for our demanding new world.
When my son's teacher commented at a conference that, "he loves to write, thankfully, so I'm not worried about him on the State Exam essay," I stared at her for a moment and then, waited for the shoe to drop. I was either totally misunderstanding her or I was fast asleep having a remarkably blissful dream.
He is making huge strides in a subject that is not his natural forte. Terri has emboldened and technically instructed him on how to execute this on a consistent basis.
I will never be able to adequately thank her for her Herculean achievements which hopefully continue as the years progress."
Mary Rose Synek, NYC, 917-828-5337
"Terry is an excellent, smart, child attentive teacher. Terry is working with our son since he entered first grade, it's been over a year. She is very carrying and supporting and helps greatly build his confidence and self-esteem. When Terry started working with him he couldn't read, now thanks to her hard work, he his above his peers level and doing great in school. He knows that thanks to her dedication he is improving and has the love of reading. Terry is a fantastic teacher who makes the lessons fun and challenging at the same time."
Yafa Moore, 347-427-1927
What PROFESSIONALS say:
I am pleased to write a letter of recommendation for Terri Cohen. I have known Terri in a professional capacity when we worked at Ampark Neighborhood School for the 2014 school year. Terri possesses many qualities that are essential to any community or organization. I found her to be a conscientious and hardworking as well as detailed oriented. She is determined and focused when accepting new challenges and is flexible in response to daily changes in her schedule or routine.
Her interest in literacy and ongoing work with the special needs and ELL students have given her a wealth of experience in supporting and implementing strategies for these groups of students. Terri has also taken on other roles as well. She has worked as one of the supervisors for lunch and recess duty, has covered classes as a substitute when necessary.
Terri is extremely personable and is equally comfortable with her students and co-teachers. She has talked with me about her future plans and is excited for the new experiences, challenges, and joys that await her. Terri's commitment to hard work in pursuing her goals will serve her well in your school and beyond.
Please contact me if I can answer any further questions.
